23. _Marriage of Bishops._--I should feel obliged to any of your correspondents who would supply me with an example from early Church history of a bishop or priest marrying after ordination. Deacons were expressly allowed to marry by the Council of Ancyra; but I should wish an example of either of the others. Marriage after priestly ordination is now forbidden by the Greek church, and since the Council of Trullo bishops must be celibate or continent. Second Query--What evidence is there that bishops in early times, if already married, were obliged to put away their wives? It is said that St. Gregory Nazianzen's father had children after he was raised to the episcopate. Can this be proved, and are there other instances? From the silence of early Church writers as to any difference between the clergy and laity on this point, I am much inclined to believe that the Roman requirement of celibacy was then confined to the bishopric of Rome itself, and the immediately adjoining country. St. Paul, in 1 Cor. ix.5., says: "Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as the other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord and Cephas?" implying that he had power to marry even then; and our Saviour speaks of continence as a gift given only to certain persons. (St. Matthew, chap. xix. ver. 11, 12.) A. B. C. Edinburgh, July 10. 1851. 24. _The Sign ¶._--What is the meaning, and whence the origin of the sectional sign ¶, so much used in the Bible, and also at the head of the rubrical instructions in the Book of Common Prayer? P. P. 25. _Early German Virgil._--I should like to know if the following name is that of a well-known publisher; and whether the book, from which I take the name, is known? also, whether it is very rare, and of literary value? "_Gedruckt zu Frankfurt am Main durch David Zöpffeln zum Eisern Huth, 1559._" I find this at the end of a curious German translation of Virgil into verse--short and easy flowing. There is a summary in verse, and a quaint engraving to every book. Bound in wood and leather. It has many odd peculiarities too long to mention. In the Preface, this is said to be the _second_ edition, that the first was published "many years ago, by a learned man." It must have been published about the same time as _Bishop Gawain (or Gawin) Douglas's_, and is something like it. R. S. T. 26. _Fairlight Church._--In Diplock's _New Guide to Hastings, St. Leonard, and the Neighbourhood_, which, unfortunately, like most other works of this class, is worse than useless to the architectural visitor, it is stated that the old church at Fairlight, which was taken down not very long since, "was a small but ancient structure, apparently of the early part of the _thirteenth century_: it consisted of a chancel, nave, and square tower, and _was built of brick_." Can any of your readers inform a visitor here whether this is a correct description? ARUN. St. Leonard's on Sea.
