omitting to cross his _t_'s, which the compositor took for _l_'s, and
set up _Roselle_. On receiving the proof-sheet, at the passage in
question a sudden light burst upon Malherbe; of _Roselle_ he made two
words, and put in two beautiful lines--
"Et Rose, elle a vÈcu ce que vivent les roses,
L'espace d'un matin."

_Travels of Two English Pilgrims._--
"A True and Strange Discourse of the Travailes of Two English
Pilgrimes: what admirable Accidents befell them in their Journey
to Jerusalem, Gaza, Grand Cayro, Alexandria, and other places.
Also, what rare Antiquities, Monuments, and notable Memories
(concording with the Ancient Remembrances in the Holy
Scriptures), they sawe in the Terra Sancta; with a perfect
Description of the Old and New Jerusalem, and Situation of the
Countries about them. A Discourse of no lesse Admiration, then
well worth the regarding: written by one of them on the behalfe
of himselfe and his fellowe Pilgrime. Imprinted at London for
Thomas Archer, and are to be solde at his Shoppe, by the Royall
Exchange. 1603."
A copy of this 4to. tract, formerly in the hands of Francis Meres, the
author of _Wit's Commonwealth_, has the following MS. note:--
"Timberley, dwellinge on Tower Hill, a maister of a ship, made
this booke, as Mr. Anthony Mundye tould me. Thomas, at Mrs.
Gosson's, sent my wyfe this booke for a token, February 15. A.D.
1602."

QUERIES.
QUOTATIONS IN BISHOP ANDREWES' TORTURA TORTI.
Can any of your contributors help me to ascertain the following
quotations which occur in Bishop Andrewes' _Tortura Torti_?
P. 49.:
"Si clavem potestatis non prÊcedat clavis discretionis."
P. 58.:
"Dispensationes nihil aliud esse quam legum vulnera."
P. 58.:
"Non dispensatio est, sed dissipatio."
This, though not marked as a quotation, is, I believe,
in _S. Bernard_.
P. 183.:
"Et quÊ de septem totum circumspicit orbem Montibus, imperii
Roma De˚mque locus."
P. 225.:
"Nemo pius, qui pietatem cavet."
P. 185.:
"Minutuli et patellares Dei."
I should also be glad to ascertain whence the following passages are
derived, which he quotes in his _Responsio ad Apologiam_?
P. 48.:
"[Greek: to gar trephon me tout ego kalo theon.]"
P. 145.:
"VanÊ sine viribus irÊ."
P. 119. occurs the "versiculus,"
"Perdere quos vult hos dementat;"
the source of which some of your contributors have endeavoured to
ascertain.
