"Hic jacet in pannis patris op[-] [-]tima gemma Johannes Prideaux Mathiæ gemellus qui im[-] [-]mature sequutus est fratres August 1'o A.D. 1636." H. H. G. Frognal. "_Oh! Leoline_," _&c._ (Vol. v., pp. 78. 138.).-- "Oh! Leolyn, be obstinately just; Indulge no passion, and deceive no trust: Let never man be bold enough to say, Thus, and no farther, shall my passion stray: The first crime, past, compels us into more, And guilt grows _fate_, that was but choice, before." _Athelwold_, a Tragedy, by Aaron Hill. Act V. Scene: The Garden. These lines were first quoted by Madan, in his translation of Juvenal, as a note on the words-- "Nemo repente fuit turpissimus."--Juv. _Sat._ ii. 83. He prefaced the lines by confessing that he could not recollect where he had met with them; but Gifford, in his translation of Juvenal (3rd edition, 1817), assigns them to "_Athelwold_, a forgotten tragedy by Aaron Hill." I have referred to the play, for the sake of obtaining a correct copy of the quotation, and a reference to Act and Scene. C. FORBES. Temple. The Word "_Blaen_" (Vol. v., p. 128.).--The British word _Blaen_, a frequent prefix, means top point, or fore part: hence _Blaenffrwyth_, first fruit; _Blaenafon_, source of a river, &c. E. ALLEN. _Stoke_ (Vol. v., pp. 106. 161.).--At Erbistock, near this place (it is called "Saint Erbyn's stoke" in the Valor Ecclesiasticus made temp. Henry VIII.), there is a stone weir across the river Dee, which there washes the base of the rock on which the Parish church is built. The use of this weir is now only to divert a part of the stream to a corn mill; but a weir may have been erected here in ancient times for the purpose of catching salmon, as it is the first weir above Chester on the river Dee. The name of Saint Erbyn is not to be found in the Calendar of Welsh Saints; but I apprehend that the authority of the commissioners of Henry VIII. may be deemed sufficient for placing his name in the next edition of the Calendar that shall be published. --> Wrexham Regis. The quotation from _Bosworth_ is doubtless correct. Blomfield, in his _History of Norfolk_, when describing _Stoke-ferry_, says: "This town stands on the river Wissey, and in the Book of Domesday it is wrote '_Stoches_;' not taking its name from _stoch_, (i.e.) some wood, but from _stow_, a dwelling or habitation, and _ches_, or _kes_, by the water." There are two villages of the name of _Stoke_ in Norfolk, and both are situate on small streams. J. F. F. West Newton.
