e Sanctuarium! quod est Physica Hermetica_ (1619) of the alchemist Henry Nollius, published by Vaughan in 1655. P. 323. From Cerbyd Fechydwiaeth. This tract is bound up with the Brit. Mus. copy of [Thomas Powell's] _Quadriga Salutis_ (1657), of which it appears to be a Welsh translation. The verses, to which nothing corresponds in the English version, are signed Ol[or] Vaughan (_cf._ Olor Iscanus). Professor Palgrave (_Y Cymrodor_, 1890-1) translates them as follows: "The Lord's Prayer, when looked into (we see), the Trinity of His Fatherly goodness has given it as a foundation-stone of all prayer, and has made it for our instruction in doctrine." He adds that this Englyn occurs with others written in an eighteenth-century hand on the fly-leaf of a MS. of Welsh poetry by Iago ab Duwi. P. 324. From Humane Industry. On Thomas Powell _cf._ p. 57, note. The first three of these translations are marked H. V. in the margin; of the fourth Powell says, "The translation of Mr. Hen. Vaughan, Silurist, whose excellent Poems are published." Many other translations are scattered through the book, but there is nothing to connect them with Vaughan. LIST OF FIRST LINES.
