posed, as executors to Mrs. Prince, some documents of Mr. Wogan might possibly be found; and, except from these, from the little communication of late years I have had with other branches of families connected with him, I had little hopes of meeting with any thing relating to him. I do recollect, when he accompanied me at my entrance to the University of Oxford, something passed on his part, some manuscript, or discovery of some sort, of Lord Clarendon's His tory, which was well received, and deposited in the Bodleian Library un der his name and auspices; and, I believe, he received some compliment, or honourable token of acknowledgment, upon it. It was not an bonorary degree, which is the most usual, and I cannot, therefore, now guess what it was; but, if please God I ever go there again, which most likely I may should I live but a year or two longer, I will try to find out something concerning him; at all events, put you in the way, in case you should, who, most likely, may do it better and more effectually. The house at Little Ealing, where he lived, and edified the parishioners as well as his own nearest relations, or any who were wise enough to drink at that wholesome fountain of religious instruction, remains there, to the best of my know. ledge, to this present writing and I will take some opportunity of seeing if any thing can be traced there; but should like much to have the pleasure of seeing you first, and the advantage of your friendly, useful advice and as sistance," " Since the period of the above writing, the amiable person who honoured me with it and other particulars relating to Mr. Wogan, and who, though amid the occupation of a Court all his life, fortified by the early instruction and wise direction of his pious guardian, still preserved the purest piety and moral integrity, has himself paid the debt of nature, at an advanced age. Mr. Wogan was of Welsh extraction, and related to the Wogan whose name is to be found in the dark Regicidal list. He was possessed of property both at Ealing and in Ireland, At one period of his life, he was a principal promoter and agent in some popular and beneficent concern in Ireland, respecting "Widows' Pensions," and derived great credit, both for his success in the business and dis play of his humane feelings; but of the particulars I possess no information. He was educated at Westminster School, under the celebrated Busby, and was particularly distinguished for his aptness in learning, the peculiar mildness of his temper, and sweetness both of person and disposi tion; so much so, it is said, that he was the only scholar on whom that eminent enforcer of classic lore did not exercise the terrible hocce signum of his profession. And I think I saw, some years ago, at Oxford, (in the Bodleian Library, I believe,) a picture of Dr. Busby and this amiable youth, represented as if in affectionate confab. However, in the particular, viz. of the boy being Mr. Wogan, I may not have been correctly informed. Mr. Wogan married a daughter of Dr. Michael Stanhope, grandfather, I believe, to the present Earl of Ches terfield. This lady died at Ealing, and lies interred near the chancel door of the Church at Great Ealing, Middlesex. There is this inscription on her tombstone (I write from memory): "She was descended from the noble family of the Earls of Ches terfield, but more ennobled by her great and many virtues." By this lady he had one daughter, Catherine, who, losing her mother at a very early period of life, was placed under the sole care and fostering attention of her noble relation, that truly pious and most excellent woman the Lady Betty Hastings, of Ledstone, or Ledsham, in the county of York, now the seat of Michael Angelo Taylor, esq. With this amiable and religious wo man she lived until her marriage with my grandfather, the late Rev. Robert Baynes, of Knowstrop Hall, near Leeds, Yorkshire, and Rector of Stonham Aspal, in Suffolk, and many years head of the Quorum at the Ipswich Sessions, where his memory, as a learned, impartial, and inde pendent magistrate, is still gratefully cherished *. Mr. Wogan lived to an advanced age, being upwards of 80 when he obtained for his skill in Parish Law, Dr. Burn, when publishing his "Justice of. Peace," consulted him several times upon some particular points, * As a proof of the crèdit Mr. Baynes died. He was remarkably abstemi ous; too much so, indeed, in the decline of his life, injuring his health by rigid fasting. The only work published by him, was his " Essay on the proper Lessons," a work equally distinguished for its pious style and the learning of its comments. Its excellence chiefly shines as being solely derived from his own pure and critical knowledge of those languages in which the matter commented upon by him has been handed down to us. He was learned in several languages, but in Greek he was one of the profoundest scholars of the age. He has left behind him, unpublished, a critical Commentary on St. Paul's Epistle to the Romans; and considering his deep acquaintance with the Greek tongue, I have no doubt it would, if published, be deemed a real biblical treasure. This MS. is in the hands of his grandson, the Rev. E. Baynes, of Week St. Mary, in the county of Cornwall, who possesses also another MS. by him, of the Canticles, rendered into English verse, with critical and explanatory notes, chiefly va luable, I rather apprehend, on account of the latter; as, from what I recollect (now many years ago) of the composition, the good old man was a better Greek scholar and critic than he was a poet. The above account is, I think, au thentic, so far as it goes. It may probably be the means of eliciting something more correct and informative from other parts of his family and connections: at any rate, I trust it will induce some learned correspondent of yours at Oxford to inquire into what is mentioned as relating to him there. Yours, &c. ROB. BAYNES. Mr. URBAN, M. Temple, Dec. 3. the Kingdom, I was amused by a copious History of King's Lynn," which chance threw in my way at the Circulating Library. The author, the Rev. W. Richards, has been a resident there 40 years, and is thoroughly master of the arcana of the Corporation, though he gives several hints that he was denied access to their archives. The Townsmen of Lynn, however, and the Publick at large, áre indebted to him for much useful ; and entertaining information and the object of this Letter is, first, to make my acknowledgments to Mr. Richards for the Biographical Articles in particular; and, secondly, to request the favour of him, or of any of your Norfolk Correspondents, to transmit to your lasting pages a copy of the Latin epitaph at All Saints, Lynn, for the very pious and learned Thomas Pyle, M. A. who died in 1756, aged 82; leaving three sons; une of whom, Dr. Edmund Pyle, died in 1776, Prebendary of Winchester and of Salisbury. Thomas, the second son, a Prebendary also of both those Cathedrals, died about 1806, aged more than 90. The third son, Philip, Rector of South Lynn, died in 1799. The Epitaphs for all or either of these are requested. The Latin Epitaph on Sir William Browne, at Hillingdon in Norfolk (of which Mr. Richards has given only a fragment in English), would be acceptable to many who have received the Prize Medals of that benevolent, though eccentric Physician. I shall also be much obliged by any account of Ralph Macro, of Caius College, Cambridge, B.A.1716; M.A. 1720; D.D. (Com. Reg.)1728. Where was he preferred? and when did he CARADOC. die? Yours, &c.

No one can read these words, and not believe that they are of Divine inspiration. A. H. Mr. URBAN, Dec. 22. TWO things, in themselves perfectly distinct, are often confounded, universal redemption and universal salvation. The doctrine of our Church, expressed in words as clear and comprehensive as language can supply, is, that redemption, or atonement for sin by the death of Christ, was universul, for all the sins of all mankind: "The offering of Christ once made is that perfect redemption, propitiation, and satisfactiou, for all the sins of the whole world, both original and actual.” Art. xxxi. Holy Scripture teaches the game important truth that as the offence" involved “all men," so the remedy extended to “all men." Rom. : v. 18. that Christ Jesus-gave him"tasted death for every man." Heb. self a ransom for all." 1 Tim. ii. 6.' ii. 9. and is the propitiation for the that he died not only for those who sins of the whole world." 1 Joh. ii. shall be saved by him, but for those that perish: "Through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died." 1 Cor. viii. 11. "Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died." Rom. xiv. 15. This is the doctrine which the good father Latimer teaches, and shews what, notwithstanding the universa lity of the expiation, is the cause of failure; that men perish, not because their sins were not atoned for, but because they destroy themselves by their own impenitence and folly. "Christ shed as much blood for Judas as he did for Peter; Peter believed it, and therefore he was saved; Judas would not believe it, and therefore he was condemued, the fault being in him only, and in nobody else." Ser mon on 23d Sunday after Trinity. It is more than twenty years since I saw Mr. Toplady's renowned performance on what he is pleased to call the Calvinism of the Church of England;" and, unfortunately, I know no one that is possessed of this theological treasure. If your Correspondent (p. 433) quotes the work accurately, as I dare say he does, I exhibited the sense with perfect cor rectness, but did not, at this interval, retain the precise words: which, it seems, are, "Not that Christ actually died for Judas-but that the Mediator's blood was sufficient to have redeemed even Judas, had it been shed for that purpose." Now Lati mer's doctrine, on the contrary, plainly is, tuat Christ "did shed his blood for this purpose," "did actually die for Judas," since, as his words are, “he shed as much blood for Judas av he did for Peter." I have nothing to do with other absurdities in this famous extract from Mr. Toplady; such as the demonstrative proof that Christ did not die for Judas, because (if Mr. Toplady does not mistake,) "the death of Judas was prior to that of Christ!!" Of course, by Mr. Toplady's argument, no one, from the foundation of the world, who died before Christ, could be saved by him!! I am alike unconcerned with other words words of Bishop Latimer, torn from their context, without reference, and produced (accurately or otherwise) by this conclusive reasoner. I was not ignorant, any more than a Sussex Freeholder, (p. 434,) that there were interpolated as well as genuine Epistles of Ignatius; and therefore I took care to quote the genuine only. It was also not unknown to me, that λos, like most other words, had various senses; and therefore I did not confine" it to one sense, but gave the sense which belonged to it in a passage quoted by Dr. Priestley, where he translated it otherwise, and probably through mere ignorance; because, if I remember right the passage which I saw about eighteen years ago, he gained nothing by it. But in this (as I bave not the work at hand) I may mistake. And therefore I again subscribe myself Old Town, Stratfordupon-Avon, Nov. 11. Tif, indeed, it be worth your HE drawing which I send you, notice, is made from an antient gold Seal-ring, in my possession, but which was lately ploughed up at Long Marston, in Gloucestershire, a village about six miles from Stratford. From the armorial bearings, it seems to have belonged to the family of Keck, who were settled at Long Marston as early as 1614, where they then possessed a landed estate. This Seal-ring bears the martlet for distinction, and may be ascribed to the period of James I. The arms of Keck (London and Gloucester) are thus blazoned by Edmondson, in his "Complete Body of Heraldry," "Sable, a bend Ermine between two cotises flory, counterflory Or. Crest, out of a mural crown Gules, a maidenhead Ermine, purfled Or, her hair disveloped of the same, and flotant, adorned with a chaplet Vert, garnished with roses proper." The coat of Anthony Keck, of the Inner Temple, London, esq. and of Francis Keck, of Great Tew, in Oxfordshire, esq. is given with flory only, in Guillim's Display of Heraldry, fol. edit. p. 62, (title-page and date of my copy gone, but perhaps about 1720;) and in p. 266, the The Ring is so fully described, that an Engraving is unnecessary. EDIT. same arms, which agree with the Seal-ring, are twice engraved, and are ascribed to Robert Keck, of the Inner Temple, esq. and to Francis Keck, of Great Tew, esq. In Kent's "Grammar of Heraldry," dedicated to the Princess Anne, eldest daughter of George Prince of Wales, afterwards George 11. (no date,) the arms of Robert Keck, of the Inner Temple, gent. (Sable, a bend Ermine between two cotises flory Or,) are given opposite his name in the List of Subscribers; to the Author of which Work he sent them for insertion. "Political Index," 3d edit. 1806, p. 323, Samuel Keck appears to have been appointed one of the Masters in Chancery, in 1688. "Nicholas Keck, gent. M.A." who was Rector of Beau desert, near Henley-in-Arden, in Warwickshire, nineteen years, died July 16, 1708, æt. 47; vide Thomas's edition of Dugdale's Warwickshire, p. 805. G. A. L. Keck, esq. is now M.P. for Leicestershire. R. B. WHELER. Notice in Chalmers's Dictionary, FIND the following Biographical of Dr. Cadogan the Physician "William Cadogan, a physician of considerable note in London, was edu cated at Oriel College, Oxford, where he took his degree of Master of Arts in 1755; and the same year was made Ba chelor and Doctor in Medicine. He had previously, viz. in 1750, published a small Treatise on the Nursing and Ma nagement of Children, which was much esteemed, and contributed towards abolishing some improper treatment, both in dressing and feeding infants: his rules were first adopted by the Foundling Hospital, and by degrees became gene ral. His next publication was on the Gout, and Chronic Diseases, in 1764 It was so generally read, that several large impressions were sold of it. The book was animadverted upon in various pamphlets, but he did not condescend to answer any of them. It is on the whole well written, and deserving at tention. He was fellow of the College of Physicians; and, which is by no means usual, spoke two Harveian Orations, the one in 1764, the other in 1793; they were both published. He died in his 86th year, at his house in George-street, Hanover-square, Febru ary 26th, 1797." Any farther particulars of this emi nent physician, particularly as to his mode of life, &c. &e. would much J. S. oblige |
