and Dr. Mossom, both now in heaven, and that of the then Mr. Gunning, the now most worthy Bishop of Ely, for whom she ever after had a peculiar veneration." "My last son Izaak, borne the 7th of September, 1651, at halfe an houre after two o'clock in the afternoone, being Sunday, and he was baptized that evening by Mr. Thruscross, in my house in Clerkenwell. Mr. Henry Davison and my brother Beacham were his godfathers, and Mrs. Roe his godmother."--_Izaak Walton's Entry in his Prayer Book._ Peckhard, in his _Life of Nicholas Ferrar_, p. 213., quotes Barwick's Life, Oley, Thruscross, and Thorndike. W.P. _Osnaburgh Bishopric_ (Vol. ii., pp. 358. 447.).--The succession to this bishopric was regulated by the Treaty of Westphalia, in 1648. By virtue of that treaty the see of Osnaburgh is alternately possessed by a Romish and a Protestant prince; and when it comes to the turn of a Protestant, it is to be given to a younger son of the house of Hanover. The _Almanach de Gotha_ will most probably supply the information who succeeded the late Duke of York.

One of the Harmonies of the Life of Christ is in the British Museum, and another at St. John's College, Oxford (Qy.) (See the list of MSS. once at Gidding, Peckhard, p. 306.) N. Ferrar published and wrote the preface to Herbert's _Temple_, 1633,--and translated Valdesso's _Divine Considerations_, Camb. 1646. W.P. _Butchers' Blue Dress_ (Vol. ii., p. 266.).--A blue dress does not show stains of blood, inasmuch as blood, when dry, becomes of a blue colour. I have always understood this to be the explanation of this custom. X.Z. _Chaucer's Portrait by Occleve_ (Vol. ii., p. 442.).--This portrait is engraved in Strutt's _Regal and Ecclesiastical Antiquities_. J.I.D. [And we may add, in the edition of Tyrwhitt's _Canterbury Tales_, published by Pickering--ED.] _Chaucer's Portrait_ (Vol. ii., p. 442.).--His portrait, from Occleve's poem, has been engraved in octavo and folio by Vertue.
