ips, i. 314. [16] Phillips, ii. 272. [17] Both Wood and Foster give the father's name as Thomas, but it appears to be Henry in all the pedigrees. [18] The following list of Vaughan's admitted prose treatises is mainly taken from Dr. Grosart:--_Anthroposophia Theomagica_ (1650); _Anima Magica Abscondita_ (1650); _Magia Adamica_ with the _Coelum Terrae_ (1650); _The Man-Mouse taken in a Trap_ (1650); _The Second Wash; or, the Moor scoured once more_ (1651) [These two are polemics against Henry More]; _Lumen de Lumine_, with the _Aphorismi Magici Eugeniani_ (1651); _The Fame and Confession of the Fraternity of R:C:_ (1653); _Aula Lucis_ (1652); _Euphrates_ (1655); _Nollius' Chymist's Key_ (1657); _A Brief Natural History_ (1669); [Wood ascribes this to another writer, as it was not in the list furnished him by Henry Vaughan].--Henry More's pamphlets against Vaughan are the _Observations upon Anthroposophia Theomagica and Anima Magica Abscondita_ (1650), issued under the name of Alazonomastix Philalethes and _The Second Lash of Alazonomastix_ (1651). [19] Walker falls into the curious confusion of supposing that there were two Thomas Vaughans, one rector of Llansantffread, the other of Newton St. Bridget. But "St. Bridget" is only the English form of the Welsh "Santffread." [20] Printed from the Rawl. MSS. in Thurloe's _State Papers_, ii. 120. [21] Is this the inn of that name once in the Gray's Inn Road? (Cunningham and Wheatley, _Handbook to London_.) [22] The Rev. Henry Howlett has kindly sent me the following extract from the registers of Meppershall:-- "1658. Buried. Rebecka, the Wife of Mr. Vahanne the 26th of Aprill." [23] An entire literature has grown up in Paris during the last year around the question whether the cultus of Lucifer is practised in certain Masonic Lodges. A number of Catholic journalists and pamphleteers assert very categorically that this is the case, that the centre of this cultus, containing the full Luciferian initiates, is the 33^rd^ degree of a so-called New and Reformed Palladian Rite, having its head-quarters at Charlestown, and that the chiefs of this Rite have obtained a controlling influence over the whole of Freemasonry. The creed is described as Manichaean in character, with Lucifer as Dieu-Bon and Adonai, the God of the Catholics, as Dieu-Mauvais. Adonai is the principle of asceticism, Lucifer of natural humanity a
