Engraved Portraits, &c._)
gives 1657 as the date of his birth, and says that there was a portrait of
him by Drapentier _ad vivum_. Lysons mentions him as one of the {340}
remarkable men who, at different periods, resided at Lambeth, and says that
his house was in Calcott's Alley, High Street, then called Back Lane, where
he seems to have enlightened his generation in the threefold capacity of
astrologer, physician, and schoolmaster.

"_Tickhill, God help me_" (Vol. i., p. 247.; Vol. ii., p. 452.).--Although
I am full late with my pendent, I am tempted to add the instance of "Kyme
God Knows," well known to all explorers of the Fens. The adjunct, "God
knows," is supposed to be part of the following verse:

"It's Kyme, God knows,
Where no corn grows,
And very little hay;
And if there come a wet time,
It _weshes_ all away."

If I misquote, perhaps some Fen man will set me right.

As to the "Lincoln-heath where should 'un?" instanced by your correspondent
H. C. ST. CROIX, in the No. for April 27, 1850, it is quite unknown in this
neighbourhood, and I believe must belong to some other locale.

_Meaning of Tye_ (Vol. iii., p. 263.).--On or contiguous to the South
Downs, in Sussex, there are several portions of land bearing this
designation, as Berwick Tye, Alfriston Tye, Telscombe Tye, &c. They are all
contiguous to the villages from which they derive their names. These lands
were formerly held in common by the tenants of the respective manors, and I
think the origin of the expression may be traced to the tethering or
_tying_-up of cows, horses, &c., for the double purpose of preventing their
straying, and of preserving the fences of the neighbouring tenements. I
offer this conjecture with some diffidence, because the word is very often
found in _composition_ with proper names of places, as Lavortye,
Brambletye, Holtye, Puxtye, Ollantigh. The vulgar notion, that it means a
space which originally measured ten acres, is, I think, untenable.

_Dutch Church in Norwich_ (Vol. iii., p. 209.).--Some interesting details
connected with the establishment of the Dutch Church in Norwich, as well as
the first settlement of the Walloons in that city, will be found in
Blomefield's _History of Norfolk_, vol. iii. p. 282. et seq., edit. 1806.
