2.  In Lewis’s History of the Translations of the Bible, edit. 1818. p. 25., he quotes a work of Bishop Bonner, “Of the Seven Sacraments, 1555,” in which a manuscript English Bible is cited by the Bishop, as then in his possession, “translated out of Latyne in tyme of heresye almost eight-score years before that tyme, i.e. about 1395, fayre and truly written in parchment.”  Lewis proceeds to conjecture, that this MS. was the same which is preserved in the Bodleian Library under the mark Fairfax, 2.  And in this erroneous supposition he has been followed by later writers.  The copy in question, which belonged to Bonner, is actually in the Archiepiscopal Library at Lambeth, No. 25., and contains the Pentateuch in the earlier Wycliffite version (made, no doubt, by Nicholas Hereford), whilst the rest of the Old and New Testament is in the later or revised translation by Purvey and his coadjutors.  What I now wish to inquire about, is, where can I meet with a copy of Bonner’s work, De Septem Sacramentis, in which the passages occur referred to by Lewis?  They are not in A Profitable and Necessarye Doctryne, with certayne Homelies adjoyned, printed in 1555 by John Carood, although one of these homilies is on the subject of the seven sacraments.

Constantine the Artist.—­Who was “M.  Constantine, an Italian architect to our late Prince Henry,” employed in the masque at the Earl of Somerset’s marriage in 1613? and was he the same Constantine de Servi to whom the Prince assigned a yearly pension of 200l. in July 1612?  If so, where can more be found respecting him?  He is not mentioned on Walpole’s Anecdotes.

Josias Ibach Stada.—­Who was the artist whose name occurs inscribed on the hoof of the horse of King Charles the Second’s equestrian statue at {453} Windsor, as follows:—­“1669.  Fudit Josias Ibach Stada Bramensis;” and is Mr. Hewitt, in his recent Memoir of Tobias Rustat, correct in calling him “Stada, an Italian artist?”
