_Sir Henry Chauncy's Observations on Wilfred Entwysel._--After recording
the inscription on the brass plate in St. Peter's Church, St. Alban's, to
the memory of Sir Bertin Entwysel, Knt., Viscount and Baron of Brykbeke in
Normandy, who fell at the first battle of St. Alban's, in 1455, Chauncy
proceeds to state:--
"These Entwysels were gentlemen of good account in Lancashire, whose
mansion-house retains the name of Entwysel, and the last heir of that
house was one Wilfred Entwysel, who sold his estate, and served as a
lance at Musselborrow Field, Anno 2 Edw. VI. After that he served the
Guyes in defence of Meth, and he was one of the four captains of the
fort of Newhaven, who being infected with the plague and shipped for
England, landed at Portsmouth, and uncertain of any house, in
September, 1549, died under a hedge."--_Historical Antiq. of
Hertfordshire, by Sir Henry Chauncy, Knt., Serj. at Law_, p. 472. fol.
1700.
On what authority is this latter statement made, and if it was traditional
when Chauncy wrote, was the foundation of the tradition good? Did Sir
Bertin Entwysel leave issue male, and is the precise link ascertained which
connects him with the family of Entwisle of Entwisle, in the parish of
Bolton-en-le-Moors, in Lancashire? Wilfred Entwysel was not "the last heir
of that house," as the _post mortem inq._ of Edmund Entwisle, of Entwisle,
Esq., was taken 14 Sept. 1544, and his son and heir was George Entwisle,
then aged twenty-two years and upwards. Amongst his large estates was "the
manor of Entwissell."

_Theological Tracts._--Can any of your correspondents inform me where the
following tracts are to be found?--
"_Pattern of the Present Temple_,"
"_Garnish of the Soul_,"
"_Soldier of Battle_,"
"_Hunt of the Fox_,"
"_Fardle of Fashions_,"
"_Gamer's Arraign_,"
and a work entitled "_Vaux's Catechism_."
I am sorry not to be able to give a more minute description of them; they
were all published, I think, before the middle of the seventeenth century.
The Bodleian and our own University Libraries have been searched, but to no
purpose.
