The following were and may be now in St. Stephen's churchyard, Ipswich, on the stone of one Stephen Manister, clerk to Mr. Baron Thompson, who died in 1731, and by his will desired the following words to be there inscribed: "What I gave I have, w^t I spent I had, What I left I lost for want of giving it." G. A. C. * * * * * Minor Queries. _Paintings of Our Saviour._--In Mrs. Jameson's _Legends of the Monastic Orders_, it is stated that "The painter, Andrea Vanni, was among the devout admirers of St. Catherine;" and that "among his works was a head of Christ, said to have been painted under the immediate instruction of St. Catherine; representing the Saviour as she had, in her visions, beheld him. Unhappily this has perished." Also, on the authority of Mr. Sterling, that St. Juan de la Cruz, the friend of St. Theresa, "on one occasion when the Saviour appeared to him, made an uncouth sketch of the divine apparition; which was long preserved as a relique in the Convent of the Incarnation at Avila." Can any of your readers supply particulars of, or references to, other similar portraitures, especially of any still in existence? J. P. {271} _Heraldic._--Can any of your heraldic correspondents inform me to what families the following coat of arms belongs:--Gules, a fess sanguine between three trefoils slipped proper? There is in this the not very frequent occurrence of a coloured charge upon a coloured field. The only similar instance I now remember is Denham, Suffolk: Gules, a cross vert. LOCCAN. _Dedication of Kemerton Church._--The church at Kemerton, Gloucestershire, was, until a few years ago, marked by the authorities with a blank, just as the church of Middleton ("N. & Q.," Vol. v., p. 372.); but it has now been discovered, it would appear, to have been dedicated to _St. Nicholas_. How, or where? I. R. R. _Consolato del Mare._--The maritime code of the Venetians derived from Barcelona, observed also by the Genoese and Pisans, was called "Consolato del Mare," A.D. 1200. Why was it so called? R. H. G. _Consonants in Welsh._--It has often been asserted that the Welsh language is remarkable for the number of its consonants. Can any of your readers acquainted with that language inform me whether there is a larger proportion of consonants in Welsh than in English? Messrs. Chambers, in a recent number of their _Repository_, say: "On the road to Merthyr, we heard a drunken Welshman swear; oh for words to describe the effect! His mouth seemed full of consonants, which cracked and cracked, and ground and exploded, in an extraordinary way," &c. Is this a true representation of the case? J. M. _"Initiative" and "Psychology."_-- " ... a previous act and conception of the mind, or what we have called an _initiative_, is indispensably necessary, even to the mere semblance of method."--Coleridge's _Treatise on Method_.
