[Footnote 1: On the institution of churchwardens consult Burn's

_Ecclesiastical Law_, tit. Churchwardens; and the works noticed in "N. &

_Epigram._--In an old book I found this epigram, published in 1660, more

suitable perhaps for your columns during the excitement of the Papal

"ON ROME.

"Hate and debate Rome through the world hath spread,

Yet Roma, amor is, if backward read;

Then is it strange, Rome hate should foster? no,

For out of backward love, all hate doth grow."
