I should like to obtain further particulars of these ministers.

".HE WHO WOULD OLD ENGLAND WIN " : DIEGO ORTIZ. A correspondent, writing to The Times under the heading ' Perils of the Coast ' on Jan. 3, quoted as an East Anglian proverb of immemorial antiquity :

He who would Old England win Must at Weybourne Hoop begin.

Froude, ' History of England,' vol. x. p. 480, quotes one Diego Ortiz as having written to King Philip in 1567 :

" There is an English proverb in use among them which says :

He who would England win In Ireland must begin."

I in vain asked for information about Diego Ortiz at 12 S. i. 409. I hope that some one may be able to identify him.

GRAMMAR SCHOOL REGISTERS. Could some reader kindly inform me whether the registers of pupils of Grammar Schools in England are generally preserved for many years ? Would Grammar Schools which have existed for hundreds of years have them preserved ? If they are in existence, where are they kept, and can they be seen and examined for names ?

MARTEN FAMILY OF HERTS. I shall be pleased if any reader can give me information respecting the Martens of Marshall's Wick in Herts, near St. Albans.

" SINAGES." In an indenture of Henry VIII. specifying fees payable to an archdeacon these two are mentioned " Proxies and sinages." The latter word does not appear in the Oxford Dictionary, nor does " sinodies." In Gibson's ' Codex Juris Er-olesiastici,' ii. 742 (1703), I find

' sinodies iand proxies " among archdeacons' "ees. Is 'the word " sinages " known to any reader of ' N. & Q.' ?

AUTHORS OP QUOTATION'S WANTED. 1. Is any reader of ' N. & Q.' acquainted with a poem i n Qye stanzas, of which the first runs as follows ? When doomed by distress through the world's

friendless track

As pilgrims and strangers in sorrow to roam, How fondly the spirit from distance flies back To the last lingering look that one turns on

sweet home !

I should be glad to know if it has appeared in print, and to whom it is ascribed.

G. C. MOORE SMITH. The University, Sheffield.

2. A newspaper recently referred to " the excellent Jean Bon St. Andr, who

fled full soon on the First of June, But bade the rest keep fighting." Whence does the quotation originate, and who was Jean Bon St. Andre ?

[2. Full information on both points will be found at 11 S. i. 72.]

3. " Whom the gods love die young," was said

of old.

This is the first line of a sonnet entitled (I think) ' Youth.' The lines are, I fancy, by some poet of to-day whose works I saw reviewed recently-

AD ASTRA.

4. The ivory gate and the golden.

JERUSALEM : THE HOLY SEPULCHRE.

(12 S. iv. 46.)

IN The Pall Mall Magazine of April, 1898, pp. 577-85, is an article entitled ' Five Weeks in Jerusalem,' signed Mildred Beresford Hope. There are nine reproductions of photographs, the largest of which (about 6 in. by 5 in.) is ' Interior of the Holy Sepulchre.' There are five persons in at- tendance, probably Greek priests or monks.

There used not to be, as far as I remember, any difficulty about buying such photo- graphs. I have one (about 11 in. by 9 in.) which, I suppose, I bought at Jerusalem, when there in 1881. In this there are two attendants, perhaps Franciscan monks.

These photographs present in fact that part of the Chapel of the Angel in which is the doorway to the Holy Sepulchre itself, a little of which can be seen through the
