This passage accords with the entries in Monmouth's pocket-book under
the dates of Jan. 5. and Feb. 3. If the unfortunate Monmouth could have
foreseen the miserable end, with all its accompanying humiliations and
horrors, to which a few months were destined to bring him, his
exclamation, "O cruel fate!" would have acquired additional bitterness.

[We insert the foregoing as serving to complete the series of
interesting notices connected with the capture of Monmouth which
have appeared in our columns, rather than from an agreement with
the views of our valued correspondent. Dr. Anster states, that
in the pocket-book in his possession, the Duke's movements up to
the 14th March, 1684-5, are given. Would he kindly settle the
question by stating whether the passages quoted by Weldon are to
be found among them?]

QUERIES.
WOOLTON'S CHRISTIAN MANUAL.
One important use, I conceive, of the "NOTES AND QUERIES" is, the
opportunity it presents of ascertaining the existence of rare editions
of early printed books. Can any of your readers state where a copy or
copies of the following may be found?
"The Christian Manuell, or the life and maners of true
Christians. A Treatise, wherein is plentifully declared how
needeful it is for the servaunts of God to manifest and declare
to the world: their faith by their deedes, their words by their
work, and their profession by their conversation. Written by
Jhon Woolton, Minister of the Gospel, in the cathedral church of
Exetor. Imprinted at London by J.C. for Tho. Sturruppe, in
Paules Church yarde, at the George, 1576. Dedicated to Sir
William Cordell knight, Maister of the Rolles.--At Whymple 20
Nouember 1676. N 7, in eights."--Copy formerly in the possession
of Herbert. (Herbert, _Typographical Antiquities_, vol. ii. p.
1094.)
There is an imperfect copy, I understand, in the Bodleian. Access to
another copy has been needed for an important public object, in order to
transcribe the leaf or leaves wanting in the Bodleian copy; and the
book, so far as I am aware, does not occur in any other public
libraries.
Woolton was nephew to Nowell, author of the _Catechisms_. He wrote
several other pieces, and was Bishop of Exeter 1579-1593. (Wood,
_Athen. Oxon._ ed. Bliss, vol. i. pp. 600, 601.)

LUTHER'S TRANSLATION OF THE NEW TESTAMENT:--1 JOHN, v. 7.
In an article of the _Quarterly Review_ (vol. xxxiii. p. 78.) on this
controverted passage of St. John's Epistles, generally attributed to the
present learned Bishop of Ely, the following statement is made
respecting Luther:--
