_Dr. John Pocklington._--Can any of your correspondents oblige me with

information respecting the family, or the armorial bearings of Dr. John

Pocklington? He wrote _Altare Christianum_ and _Sunday no Sabbath_. The

parliament deprived him of his dignities A.D. 1640; and he died Nov. 14,

1642. Dr. Pocklington descended from Ralph Pocklington, who, with his

brother Roger, followed Margaret of Anjou after the battle of Wakefield,

A.D. 1460. He is said to have settled in the west, where he lived to have

three sons. The family is mentioned in connexion with the county of York,

as early as A.D. 1253.
