_Epitaph in Hall's "Discovery."_--The following epitaph occurs in _Bishop

Hall's Discovery of a New World, by an English Mercury_, an extremely rare

little volume, unknown to Ames or Herbert; and is, I should imagine, a

satire on some statesman of the time. Query, on whom?

"_Passenger._,

"Stay, reade, walke, Here lieth Andrew Turnecoate, who was neither

Slave, nor Soldier, nor Phisitian, nor Fencer, nor Cobler, nor

Filtcher, nor Lawier, nor Usurer, but all; who lived neither in citty,

nor countrie, nor at home, nor abroade, nor at sea, nor at land, nor

here, nor elsewhere, but everywhere. Who died neither of hunger, nor

poyson, nor hatchet, nor halter, nor dogge, nor disease, but

altogether. I., I. H., being neither his debtour, nor heire, nor

kinsman, nor friend, nor neighbour, but all: in his memory have erected

this, neither monument, nor tombe, nor sepulcher, but all; wishing

neither evill nor well, neither to thee, nor mee, nor him, but all unto

all."--P. 140.
