I l l , EAST BARMING REGISTER. 367 EARLT REGISTER OE EAST BARMING PARISH. The Eev. T. W. Carr, rector of Barming, has found a friend kindly disposed to make a copy of the old Eegister, A.D. 1541-1611; and has laid this copy before us. The Eegister was lost during more than a century, but was at length recognised, and reclaimed by the late Eev. Mark Noble, from his friend and parishioner Mrs. Dorman. The Eegister commences with entries relating to the families of Packe, Beckett, Pennye, Prebble, Moyse, Wodden, Coppyng, Lorkyn, Arnold, Holyman, Cassynghyrst, and of Mr. John Heron. The name of Heron soon yields to phonetic influence and is spelt, as pronounced, Heorn. The Arnold family was numerous. Later, we read of the families of Eecord, Cumbrydge, Knyght, Eeynolds, Banks, Mowle, Chapman, Wyllson, Carpenter, Bishop, Hodges, Saxby, Beall, Ashpoole, Bensted, Eancett, Godfrey, Videan, Vipont, and Edmit. At the end of July 1574 occurs this attestation, Concordat cum libro Registri exhibit' (signed) Thomas Robinson. After this comes a new heading, thus, " The true copye of the Eegester Book of the parishe churche of East Barmynge: of cristeninges, manages, & Buryalles, made the vth daye of October Anno xvijmo Ene. Eliz., 1575, for one hole yere eynded at the feaste of Saynt Miehill th'archaungell laste paste." Thus we must suppose that the earliest portion of the existing Eoll was written, in July 1574, as a copy of the original Eegister, 1541-74; and that the two following portions were written at intervals of twelve months each, not being themselves the original Eecords, but copies of the original Eegisters. During 1575-6 there are eight entries of christenings which record the names of the sponsors as "gossipes." During the reign of Queen Mary, Cardinal Pole directed that such entries should always mention the names of the sponsors ; but that custom was not continued by the authorities under Queen Elizabeth. Oddly enough, in this Eegister the entries during the reign of Mary lack these particulars. When the entries respecting Eoger Eecord's family cease, in 1582 commence the christenings of Thomas Curd's children. Eoger Eecord's sons were Isaac and Christopher, not Thomas ; otherwise we might have supposed that the name of Eecord had been curtailed into " Curd." The following items are extracted from the Eoll:—• 1548 Wylliam Preble & Barthyllmowe Haule, churchwardens. 1549 Wylliam Pake & Barthyllmowe Halle, churchwardens. 1551-2 Jany 18 was maried John Eynohe to Elyzabethe Bennett. 1552-3 March 9 was chrystned John y° son of John Eynshe. 1554 Septf 9 was maryed Wylliam Eremlynge unto Elyn Tayler. 1557 Oct. 25 was buryed German Norwod. 1558-9 Barthyllmowe Haule buryed y° 14th Daye of Eebruary. 1563 April 20th was buryed Sr John Sympson, parson of Barmynge. 1574 July 9th chrystned John y° son of Mathewe Tounge & Alys ux. 1574 July 10th was buryed y° forsayd John Tounge, a orisom. 368 GUNDULE'S LATIN BIBLE. 1574-5 Jany 22 was cristened Elizabeth the daughter of Isaacke Beoket; William Beoket, Elizabeth Becket, & Elizabeth Pr . . . . , Gossepes. 1575 June 24 was cristened Jane the daughter of William Preable; Henry Welche, Jane Reynoldes, & Ursula Hodges, Gossepes. 1590 Nov. 27 James Bewlye sonne of Mr James Bewlye of Roohester was buryed. W. A. SCOTT EOBEETSON. GUNDULP'S LATIN BIBLE. IN a letter, dated Middle Hill, 5 Sep. 1861, acknowledging the receipt of a copy of my " Catalogue of the Library of the Priory of St. Andrew, Eochester, A.D. 1202" (Archceologia Cantiana, III., 47, etc.), Sir Thomas Phillipps favoured me with the following corrected description of Bishop Gundulf's Latin Bible. " Sir T. P. begs to correct the date of Gundulph's Bible, in his catalogue, from ssec. 12 to 11. He would almost stake his credit as to a knowledge of the antiquity of MSS. in the assertion that the Gundulph Bible was not written before the year 1000, and the Book of Baruch, at the end of the second volume, he ventures to say, was not written before the beginning of the twelfth.* It was this last which probably induced Sir T. P. to assign the same date to the whole book. " Sir T. P. believes the book in fact to have been written by order of Gundulph, and the expression in Mr. Eye's book of 'fieri fecit 'f confirms him in that opinion. " The memorial of the Bishop in vol. ii. begins thus : ' II Scd'a pars biblie Per felicis recordac'ois Qu'd'lfum Roffense Ep'm Liber, etc.,' as in Mr. Eye's Catalogue ;J except that alienavit should be alienav'it; eelavit, celav'it; and delevit, delev'it; senteciam, sententia'; Do, d'co ; P'sbiteris, Presbit'is; cap'li, capituli. " The barbarous binder, to whom Mr. Williams gave the book to be bound, has cut off many of the top titles, and cut into many of the marginal notes. It looks like Lewis's binding. " A note on folio 1, vol. i., says, ' The booh is covered in wood and white leather' " The i in Epim is not in the MS. ; the contraction of er is omitted also. The d'co (of d'co, Seo. Epo.) has been destroyed." W. B. EYE. * Century, or saiculum. f Arolueologia Cantiana, III., 62.
