"A Full View of the Doctrines and Practices of the Ancient Church relating to the Eucharist, wholly different from those of the present _Roman_ Church, and inconsistent with the Belief of Transubstantiation; being a sufficient Confutation of _Consensus Veterum_, _Nubes Testium_, and other late Collections of the Fathers pretending the contrary. By _John Patrick, Preacher at the Charter-house_, 1688. 4to." E. C. HARRINGTON. Exeter, March 3. 1851. This tract is in 4to., and contains pp. xv. 202. It is one of the more valuable of the numerous tracts published on the Roman Catholic controversy during the reign of James II. In a collection of more than two hundred of these made at the period of publication, and now in my library, the names of the authors are written upon the titles, and this is attributed to _Mr. Patrick_. In another collection from the library of the late Mr. Walter Wilson, it is stated to be by _Bishop Patrick_. Bishop Gibson reprinted the tract in his _Preservative against Popery_, London, 1738, fol. vol. ii. tit. vii. pp. 176--252.; and in the table of contents says that it was written by "Mr. Patrick, late preacher of the Charter-house." Not Bishop Patrick therefore, but his brother, Dr. John Patrick, who died 1695, aged sixty-three, was the author of this tract. JOHN J. DREDGE. _Was Hugh Peters ever on the Stage?_ (Vol. iii., p. 166.).--I possess "A Dying Father's last Legacy to an Onely Child, or Hugh Peter's Advice to his Daughter. Written by his own Hand during his late Imprisonment in the Tower of London, and given her a little before his Death. London, 1660:" which advice he ends, p. 94., with-- "The Father of our Lord Jesus Christ preserve you to his Heavenly Kingdom, my poor child. "To ELIZABETH PETERS." And then, after a poem at p. 97., he commences a short sketch of his life with-- "I shall give you an account of myself and dealings, that (if possible) you may wipe off some dirt, or be the more content to carry it." That part of his life which would bear upon this subject reads thus, p. 98.:-- "When (at Cambridge) I spent some years vainly enough, being but fourteen years old when thither I came, my tutor died, and I was exposed to my shifts. Coming from thence, at London God struck me with the sense of my sinful estate by a sermon I heard under Paul's." The wonderful success of his lecture at Sepulchre's caused it to be asserted by his enemies, that his enthusiastic style of preaching was but stage buffoonery. (See p. 100.) "At this lecture the resort grew so great, that it contracted envie and anger ... There were six or seven thousand hearers ... and I went to Holland:"
