"These Entwysels were gentlemen of good account in Lancashire, whose
mansion-house retains the name of Entwysel, and the last heir of that
house was one Wilfred Entwysel, who sold his estate, and served as a
lance at Musselborrow Field, Anno 2 Edw. VI. After that he served the
Guyes in defence of Meth, and he was one of the four captains of the
fort of Newhaven, who being infected with the plague and shipped for
England, landed at Portsmouth, and uncertain of any house, in
September, 1549, died under a hedge."--_Historical Antiq. of
Hertfordshire, by Sir Henry Chauncy, Knt., Serj. at Law_, p. 472. fol.
1700.
On what authority is this latter statement made, and if it was traditional
when Chauncy wrote, was the foundation of the tradition good? Did Sir
Bertin Entwysel leave issue male, and is the precise link ascertained which
connects him with the family of Entwisle of Entwisle, in the parish of
Bolton-en-le-Moors, in Lancashire? Wilfred Entwysel was not "the last heir
of that house," as the _post mortem inq._ of Edmund Entwisle, of Entwisle,
Esq., was taken 14 Sept. 1544, and his son and heir was George Entwisle,
then aged twenty-two years and upwards. Amongst his large estates was "the
manor of Entwissell."

_Theological Tracts._--Can any of your correspondents inform me where the
following tracts are to be found?--
"_Pattern of the Present Temple_,"
"_Garnish of the Soul_,"
"_Soldier of Battle_,"
"_Hunt of the Fox_,"
"_Fardle of Fashions_,"
"_Gamer's Arraign_,"
and a work entitled "_Vaux's Catechism_."
I am sorry not to be able to give a more minute description of them; they
were all published, I think, before the middle of the seventeenth century.
The Bodleian and our own University Libraries have been searched, but to no
purpose.

_Lady Bingham._--In _Blackwood's Magazine_, vol. lxviii. p. 141. there is a
paper, bearing every mark of authenticity, which details the unsuccessful
courtship of Sir Symonds D'Ewes with Jemima, afterwards Baroness Crewe, and
daughter of Edward Waldgrave, Esq., of Lawford House in Essex, and Sarah
his wife. It is stated that the latter bore the name of Lady Bingham, as
being the widow of a knight, and that his monument may still be seen in
Lawford church. On referring to the Suckling Papers, published by Weale, I
find no account of this monument, though an inscription of that of Edward
Waldgrave, Esq., apparently his father-in-law, is given. Can any of your
readers give me any information as to this lady? I should, if possible, be
glad to have her maiden name and origin, as well as that of her first
husband. She might have been the widow of Sir Richard Bingham, Governor of
Connaught, &c., whose MS. account of the Irish wars is now publishing by
the Celtic Society, and who died A.D. 1598. In that case, I leave a
conjecture before me, that she was a Kingsmill of Sidmanton, in Hampshire.
I mention this to aid enquiry, if any one will be so good as to make it. If
there is such a monument in existence, his arms may be quartered on it, for
which I should be also thankful.

_Gregory the Great._--Lady Morgan, in her letter to Cardinal Wiseman,
speaks of "the pious and magnificent Matilda, Countess of Tuscany, the ally
of Gregory _the Great_, and the foundress of his power through her wealth
and munificence." By Gregory the Great it is evident that Lady Morgan means
Hildebrand, or Gregory VII. May ask, through the medium of your pages,
whether any authority can be found for terming Gregory VII. _the Great_, an
epithet which I had previously considered to be confined to Gregory I.?

_John Hill's Penny Post, in_ 1659.--I noted a few years back, from a
bookseller's catalogue, the title of a work--
"Hill (John), a Penny-Post; or a vindication of the liberty of every
Englishman in carrying Merchants' and other Men's letters against any
restraints of farmers of such employments. 4to. 1659."
