he only spoke three words of _that ryme_. Being sharpely rebuked, and instructed of the grosnes of that sin, was ordained to satisfie in sackcloth, which he promised to do."--P. 245. What was the "fault" here alluded to, and visited with a species of discipline with which the presbytery, and those under its jurisdiction, appear to have been very familiar? D. _Custom at the Savoy Church._--At the Savoy Church (London), the Sunday following Christmas Day, there was a chair placed near the door, covered with a cloth: on the chair was an orange, in a plate. Can any of the readers of "N. & Q." inform me the meaning of this? CERIDWEN. * * * * * Minor Queries with Answers. _Faithfull Teate._--I lately fell in with a small work by this divine, entitled _Ter Tria_, and on the fly-leaf is a MS. note, stating that some years ago a copy of the same book was priced, in a bookseller's catalogue in London, at 1l. 7s. 6d. I wish to learn some particulars relative to the author, and if the work is valuable, or scarce, or both. J. S. [Neither Calamy nor Brook has furnished any biographical notices of Dr. Faithfull Teate. When he wrote _Ter Tria_, in 1658, he was a "Preacher of the Word at Sudbury in Suffolk." A second edition of it was published in 1669. In 1665 appeared his _Scripture Map of the Wildernesse of Sin_," 4to. In a discourse on _Right Thoughts, the Righteous Man's Evidence_, he has the following passage, accommodated to his own destitute state after his ejectment: "The righteous man, in thinking of his present condition of life, thinks it his relief, that the less money he has he may go the more upon trust; the less he finds in his purse, seeks the more in the promise of Him that has said, 'I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee;' so that he thinks no man can take away his livelihood, unless he can first take away God's truth." Lowndes has given the following prices of _Ter Tria_: Sir M. M. Sykes, part iii. 626., 5s.; Nassau, part ii. 682., 8s.; White Knights, 4068., 1l.; _Bibl. Ang. Poet._, 764., 1l. 11s. 6d.] _Kelway Family._--Can any of the readers of "N. & Q." guide me to anything like a pedigree of the family of _Kelloway_, _Kaloway_, or _Kelway_; which I find from Lysons' _Devonshire_ possessed the manor of Mokesbean in that county from the time of Henry II.? In the first year of Edward III.
