"God is in our hearts by his laws; he rules in us by his
substitute, our conscience; God sits there and gives us laws; and
as God said unto Moses, 'I have made thee a God to Pharaoh,' that
is, to give him laws, and to minister in the execution of those
laws, and to inflict angry sentences upon him, so hath God done to
us."
In the beginning of Sanderson's second lecture, _De Obligatione
Conscientiæ_, he says:
"Hine illud ejusdem Menandri. Βροτοῖς ἅπασιν ἡ
συνείδησις Θεὸς; _Mortalibus sum cuique Conscientia Deus est_,
Quo nimirum sensu dixit Dominus se _constituisse Mosen Deum
Pharaoni_; quod seis Pharaoni voluntatem Dei subinde _inculcaret_,
ad cum faciendam Pharaonem _instigaret_, non obsequentem
contentibus plagis insectaretur; eodem fere sensu dici potest,
eundem quoque _constituisse in Deum unicuique hominum_ singularium
propriam _Conscientiam_."
Sanderson's _Lectures_ were delivered at Oxford in 1647, but not
published till 1660. The Dedication to Robert Boyle is dated November,
1659. The _Ductor Dubitantium_ is dedicated to Charles II. after the
Restoration, but has a preface dated October, 1659. It is not likely,
therefore, that, Taylor borrowed from the printed work of Sanderson.
Perhaps the quotations and illustrations which they have in common were
borrowed from some older common source, where they occur _associated_ as
they do in these two writers. I should be glad to have any such source
pointed out.

Minor Queries.
220. "_Vox verè Anglorum._"--"_Sacro-Sancta Regum
Majestas._"--_Translator of Horrebow's "Iceland."_--Perhaps some of your
readers may be able to tell me the names of the writers of the two
following works, which were published anonymously.
1. _Vox verè Anglorum: or England's loud Cry for their King._ 4to. 1659.
Pp. 15. In this the place where it was published or printed is not
given.
2. _Sacro-Sancta Regum Majestas: or, the Sacred and Royall Prerogative
of Christian Kings._ 4to. Printed at Oxford, 1644. The Dedication is
signed "J. A."
I should also wish to find out, if possible, the name of the translator
of Horrebow's _Natural History of Iceland_, published in folio, in
London, in 1758.
Βορέας.
221. "_Kings have their Conquests._"--I have met with a passage
commencing thus:
"Kings have their conquests, length of days their date,
Triumph its tomb, felicity its fate;"
followed by two more lines expressive of the infinity of Divine power,
as compared with human, which I have forgotten. Where is the passage to
be found?
