"Ferale quisquis hoc monumentum suspicis Rerum humanarum vices meditare Magnus in prosperis in adversis major Jacobus 2. Anglorum Rex. Insignes aerumnas dolendaque nimium fata Pio placidoque obitu exsolvit in hac urbe Die 16. Septemb. anni 1701. Et nobiliores quaedam corporis ejus partes Hic reconditae asservantur." * * * * * Qui prius augusta gestabat fronte coronam Exigua nunc pulvereus requiescit in urna Quid solium--quid et alta juvant! terit omnia lethum, Verum laus fidei ac morum haud peritura manebit Tu quoque summe Deus regem quem regius hospes Infaustum excepit tecum regnare jubebis." But a different inscription formerly was placed over the king's remains in this church, which has now disappeared; at all events, I could not discover it; and I suppose that the foregoing was preferred and substituted for that, a copy of which I subjoin: "D.O.M. Jussu Georgii IV. Magnae Britanniae &c., Regis, et curante Equite exc. Carolo Stuart Regis Britanniae Legato, caeteris antea rite peractis et quo decet honore in stirpem Regiam hic nuper effossae reconditae sunt Reliquiae Jacobi II., qui in secundo civitatis gradu clarus triumphis in primo infelicior, post varios fortunae casus in spem melioris vitae et beatae resurrectionis hic quievit in Domino, anno MDCCI, v. idus Septemb., MDCCCXXIV." At the foot of the monument were the words-- "Depouilles mortelles de Jacques 2. Roi d'Angleterre." A third monumental inscription to the memory of James II., in Latin, is to be seen in the chapel of the Scotch College in Paris. This memorial was erected in 1703, by James, Duke of Perth. An urn, containing the brains of the king, formerly stood on the top of it. A copy of this inscription is preserved in the _Collectanea Topographica et Genealogica_, vol. vii. J. REYNELL WREFORD, D.D. Bristol, November 8. 1850. * * * * * JUDGE CRADOCK. My transplantation from Gloucester to Devonshire, and the consequent unapproachable state of my books, prevents my referring to authorities at the moment in support of what I have said about the arms of Judge Cradock _alias_ Newton: still I wish to notice the subject at once that I may not appear to shrink from the Query of S.A.Y. (Vol. ii., p. 371.) I happen to have at hand a copy of the Grant {428} of Arms to Sir John of East Harptree, Somerset, in 1567 in which, on the authority of the heralds of the day, arg. on a chevron az. 3 garbs or, are granted to him in the first quarter as the arms of Robert Cradock _alias_ Newton. The Judge seems to have been the first of the family who dropped the name of Cradock. His forefathers, for several generations (from Howel ap Grononye, who was Lord of Newton, in Rouse or Trenewith, in Poursland), went by the name of Cradog Dom. de Newton.
