"Once on a time a man there was, A saint whose name was Martin, Concerning whom, Severus says, Satan came to him darting As Lightning quick and bright array'd; 'I am thy Jesus dear,' he said, 'Me thou wilt surely worship.' "Martin looks straight towards his side, No Side-hole met his vision: 'Let me,' says he, 'in Peace abide, Thou hast no side's Incision; Thou art the Devil, my Good Friend! The place where Jesus' sign does stand Blindfold I could discover.' "The same's the case ev'n at this Day With Jesu's congregation: For Larks who round his Body play, Have of his wounds sensation; Because our dear incarnate God, Will with his wounds as man be view'd, Be felt, and so believ'd on." "How does a cross-air Bird behave, When of the Tent it will take leave? The Body grows a little sick, The soul may find it long or quick Till she the Bridegroom see; There stands he presently. She views the Side, Hands, Feet, each Part; The Lamb upon her weary Heart A kiss then gives her: This kiss Extracts the soul quite out, And on his dear Mouth home 'tis brought, The Kiss's Print the Body shews, Which to its Fining-place then goes; When done the Soul does fetch it, And to the wound-hole snatch it." Parts I. and II. of these hymns I have never seen; but besides the above described, I have the following editions: _A Collection of Hymns of the Children of God, in all Ages from the beginning till now: in Two Parts. Designed chiefly for the use of the Congregations in union with the Brethren's Church._ Thick 8vo. London, printed in the year 1754: this is the larger hymn-book alluded to by SIGMA. _A Collection of Hymns, chiefly extracted from the larger Hymn-book of the Brethren's Congregation_: London, printed and sold at the Brethren's chapels, 1769,--noticed by H. C. B. These are both extraordinary productions, but yield to the edition of 1748: it having already been observed of these hymns, that the later impression is always the _tamer_. J. O. CAGOTS. (Vol. iv., p. 190.) I arrive at the conclusion, that the Cacosi of Latin writers, Cacous, or Cagous, represent the true name from which Cagots, the _t_ being mute, is but a slight deviation; while some other forms have scarcely retained more than the initial _Ca_. The etymology from the Goths (most absurd _in substance_, and worthy of the days when Languedoc was fetched from _Land-got_, Land of the Goths,) has reference only to one of the French spellings. _Cacosus_, meaning a leper, as well as a Cacous or Cagot, was from κακὸν, κάκωσις, in Greek; and from it came _cacosomium_, contracted for _cacoso-comium_, not a mere _noso-comium_, but an asylum for lepers.
