"_Experto crede Roberto_" (Vol. v., p. 104.).--Your correspondent W. L.
may perhaps find the origin of the above phrase in the following epitaph
copied from the floor of Exeter College Chapel, Oxford:
"Quam subito, quam certo, experto crede Roberto
Pride AUX, Fratri Matthiæ minori
Qui veneno infæliciter com[-]
[-]Esto intra decem horas
Misere expiravit.
Sept. 14, 1627."
What is the meaning of the capitals? Close by is the following:
"Hic jacet in pannis patris op[-]
[-]tima gemma Johannes
Prideaux
Mathiæ gemellus qui im[-]
[-]mature sequutus est fratres
August 1'o A.D. 1636."
