The manuscript notes in the Greek Testa- ment supplement and help to explain some of the memoranda in the other manuscript.

In the rebinding a few of the manuscript notes were cut into by the binder, indicated by the use of [ ] in the extracts given above. JOHN BALLINGER.

Sir Miles Fleetwood, Knt., bapt. at St. James's,=f Anne Luke, bapt. 1578.

Quoted at 4 S. ii. 600. This shows that he was born in 1618 ; his will was proved within a month of his decease.

In the ' History of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Northampton,' the following occurs :

" There is still extant a volume of sermons under the title ' Old Jacob's Altar newly repaired, or the Saints' Triangle, by Nathaniel Whiting, M r of Arts and Minister of the Gospel at Ald- winckle, 1659,' with an interesting dedication to the three illustrious brethren ' The Right
