when the Saviour was announcing, in mysterious words, the close
of his mission--as in St. Matthew and St. Mark; or was teaching them a
lesson of humility when the spirit of rivalry and strife had disclosed
itself among them--as we find in St. Luke and St. John.

It is not perhaps generally known that the statutes of Queen's College,
Oxford, prescribe the order of sitting at the common table in manner which
evidently refers to the _coenaculum_ of the old church painters.

Minor Notes.

_Scotter Register (County Lincoln)._--The following extracts from the
register of the parish of Scotter, in the county of Lincoln, are perhaps
sufficiently interesting to be worth printing in "N. & Q.":

1. "Eccelesia parochialis de Scotter comitatu Lincolniae dedicata est
Beatis Apostolis Sancto Petro et Sancto Paulo ut apparet in Antiquo
Scripto viduae Loddington de Scotter, viz. in testamento vltimo Thomae
Dalyson, Gen. de Scotter, qui obiit Junii 19^o, anno Domini 1495.

"GUL. CARRINGTON,
"Rector ecl[=i]a ibid."

2. "_Memorandum_, That on Septuagesima Sunday, being the 19^{th} day of
January, 1667, one Francis Drury, an excommunicate person, came into
the church in time of divine service in y^e morning, and being
admonisht by mee to begon, hee obstinately refused, whereuppon y^e
whole congregation departed; and after the same manner in the
afternoon, the same day, he came again, and refusing againe to go out,
the whole congregation againe went home, soe y^t little or no service
pformed. They prevented his further coming in y^t manner, as hee
threatned, by order from the Justice, uppon the statute of Queene
Elizabeth concerning the molestation and disturbance of publiq
preachers.

3. "Michael Skinner Senex centum et trium annorum sepultus fuit die

"_All my Eye._"--"_Over the Left._"

"What benefit a Popish successor can reap from lives and fortunes spent
in defence of the Protestant religion, he may put in his eye: and what
the Protestant religion gets by lives and fortunes spent in the service
of a Popish successor, will be over the left shoulder."--Preface to
_Julian the Apostate_: London, printed for Langley C
