In the first two verses God's watchfulness and care over His beloved are held up to the view of the pilgrims, who are impressed with the truth that no one, "by taking thought, can add one cubit to his stature." The best exposition which I can give of those two verses I have learned from our Saviour's "Sermon on the Mount" (Matt. vi. 25-33.). The third and following verses, as well as the next Psalm, are exegetical or illustrative. To whom do you attribute the gift of children? Is it not admitted on all hands to be "an heritage of the Lord?" No one can procure that blessing by personal anxiety and care: God alone can confer the gift. Well, then, the same God who gives you the heritage of children will also grant you all other blessings which are good for you, provided you act the part of "His beloved," and depend upon Him without wavering. The above is a hasty, but I trust an intelligible, view of the scope of the Psalm. MOSES MARGOLIOUTH Wybunbury, Nantwich. [Footnote 6: Lightfoot, who edited Broughton's works in 1662, entitled them as follows:--"The Works of the great Albionen Divine, renowned in many Nations for rare Skill in Salem's and Athens' Tongues, and familiar acquaintance with all Rabbinical Learning," &c. Ben Jonson has managed to introduce Broughton into some of his plays. In his _Volpone_, when the "Fox" delivers a medical lecture, to the great amusement of Politic and Peregrine, the former remarks, "Is not his language rare?" To which the latter replies, "But Alchemy, I never heard the like, or Broughton's books." In the _Alchemist_, "Face" is made thus to speak of a female companion: "Y' are very right, Sir, she is a most rare scholar, And is gone mad with studying Broughton's works; If you but name a word touching the Hebrew, She falls into her fit, and will discourse So learnedly of genealogies, As you would run mad too to hear her, Sir." (See also _The History of the Jews in Great Britain_, vol. i. pp. 305, &c.)] * * * * * INSCRIPTIONS ON BELLS. (Vol. viii., p. 448.) The inscription on one of the bells of Great Milton Church, Oxon. (as given by MR. SIMPSON in "N. & Q."), has a better and rhyming form occasionally. In Meivod Church, Montgomeryshire, a bell (the "great" bell, I think) has the inscription-- "I to the church the living call, And to the grave do summon all." The same also is found on the great bell of the interesting church (formerly cathedral) of Llanbadarn Fawr, Cardiganshire. E. DYER GREEN. Nantcribba Hall. I beg to forward the following inscription on one of the bells in the tower of St. Nicholas Church, Sidmouth. I have not met with it elsewhere; and you may, perhaps, consider it worthy of being added to those given by CUTHBERT BEDE and J. L. SISSON: "Est michi collatum Ihc istud nomen amatum."
