_Dr. Timothy Thruscross_ (Vol. ii., p. 441.)--There are frequent notices of
Dr. Thristcross, or Thruscross, in Dr. Worthington's correspondence. (See
Vol. i. of same, edited for the Chetham Society. Index, voc.
"Thristcross.") Dr. Worthington observes, p. 219., "I did love to talk with
worthy Mr. Thirstcross, who knew Mr. Ferrar and Little Gidding."

_History of Bohemian Persecution_ (Vol. ii., p. 358.).--See note to
Worthington's _Diary and Correspondence_, vol. i. p. 154., for a notice of
this work of Comenius, and his other publications relating to the Bohemian
church.

"_Earth has no Rage_" (Vol. iii., p. 23.).--
"Earth has no rage like love to hatred turn'd,
And hell no fury like a woman scorn'd."
These are the concluding lines of Act III. of Congreve's _Mourning Bride_.
They stand, however, thus, in the edition to which I have referred:
"Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turn'd,
Nor hell a fury like a woman scorn'd."

_Couplet in De Foe_ (vol. ii., p. 310.).
"Restraint from ill is freedom to the wise,
And good men wicked liberties despise."
The couplet is altered from the following couplet in De Foe's _True Born
Englishman_:--
"Restraint from ill is freedom to the wise,
But Englishmen do all restraint despise."
See collection of his writings, vol. i. p. 20., edit. 1703.
JAS. CROSSLEY.
_Private memoirs of Queen Elizabeth_ (Vol. iii., p. 23.).--"_The Secret
History of the most renowned Queen Elizabeth and the Earl of Essex_. In two
parts. By a person of Quality. Cologne: printed for Will with the Wisp, at
the Sign of the Moon in the Ecliptick. M.D.CLXXXI."--is the title of a
small volume in my possession, containing some curious hints corroborative
of the first part of Mr. Ives' MS. note mentioned in "NOTES AND QUERIES"
(Vol. iii. p. 11.). If this be the book to which your correspondent,
J.E.C., refers in your last number, he is perfectly welcome to the perusal
of my copy.

Vane House, Hampstead, Jan. 18. 1851.
_Abbot's House at Buckden_ (Vol. ii., p. 494.).--MR. C.H. COOPER asks,
"will M.C.R. explain his allusion to the Abbot's House at Buckden?" Being
only an occasional visitor there, I can give no other explanation than it
is universally called so by the inhabitants of the place. The house is very
low-roomed, and only one story high; it has been compoed over, so that
there is nothing very ancient in the look of the brickwork, excepting the
chimneys, which form a cluster in the centre. The door I mentioned,
evidently is an ancient one. A good deal of iron about it, and in square
compartments.
When I was there recently, I was informed of a discovery in a public-house
_formerly_ called the Lion--now, the _Lamb_. A gentleman in the place came
into possession of some pamphlets respecting Buckden; in one of which it is
said, that this house was originally the hostel where the visitors and
domestics used to go when the bishop had not room at the palace for them,
and that it would be found there was an "Agnus Dei" in the ceiling of one
of the lower rooms. The consequence was, search was made for it: and what
seemed a plain boss, where two beams crossed each other, on being cleansed
and scraped, turned out to be as the book said, and which I saw only last
week. The clergyman has the pamphlet above alluded to. Whether this, and
the abbot's house, belonged to the palace I cannot say. The road now runs
between them.
