3rd. The lines quoted by your correspondent form the ninth stanza of a hymn
of twenty-two stanzas (which includes the six in John Wesley's
_Collection_), written "after preaching (in a church)," and published in
"_Hymns and Sacred Poems_. In two volumes. By Charles Wesley, M.A., Student
of Christ Church, Oxford. Bristol: printed and sold by Felix Farley, 1749."
A copy is in my possession. The hymn is No. 194.; and the stanza referred
to will be found in vol. i. p. 306.

_Epitaph in Ireland._--The following lines were transcribed by me, and form
part of an epitaph upon a tombstone or mural slab, which many years past
was to be found in (if I mistake not) the churchyard of Old Kilcullen, co.
Kildare:
"Ye wiley youths, as you pass by,
Look on my grave with weeping eye:
Waste not your _strenth_ before it blossom,
For if you do _yous_ will _shurdley_ want it."
J. F. FERGUSON.
Dublin.
_Reynolds (Sir Joshua's) Baptism._--I have been favoured by the incumbent
of Plympton S. Maurice with a copy of the following entry in the Register
of Baptisms of that parish, together with the appended note; which, if the
fact be not generally known, may be of interest to your correspondent A. Z.
(Vol. viii., p. 102.) as well as to others among the readers of "N. & Q.":
"1723. Joseph, son of Samuel Reynolds, clerk, baptised July the 30th."
On another page is the following memorandum:
"In the entry of baptisms for the year 1723, the person by mistake
named _Joseph_, son of Samuel Reynolds, clerk, baptized July 30th, was
_Joshua_ Reynolds, the celebrated painter, who died February 23, 1792."
Samuel Reynolds, the father, was master of Plympton Grammar School from
about 1715 to 1745, in which year he died. During that period his name
appears once in the parish book, in the year 1742, as "minister for the
time being" (not incumbent of the parish): the Rev. Geo. Langworthy having
been the incumbent from 1736 to 1745, both inclusive.
Query, Was Sir Joshua by mistake _baptized Joseph_? or was the mistake made
after baptism, in _registering the name_?

_Tradescant._--The pages of "N. & Q." have elicited and preserved so much
towards the history of John Tradescant and his family, that the
accompanying extract from the register of St. Nicholas Cole Abbey, in the
city of London, should have a place in one of its Numbers:
"1638. _Marriages._--John Tradeskant of Lambeth, co. Surrey, and Hester
Pooks of St. Bride's, London, maiden, married, by licence from Mr.
Cooke, Oct. 1."
{514}
This lady erected the original monument in Lambeth churchyard upon the
death of her husband in 1662. She died 1678.
