_The Word "after" in the Rubric--Canons of 1604._--
1. Can any of your correspondents who may have in their possession any old
Greek, or Latin, or other versions, of the Book of Common Prayer, kindly
inform me how the word _after_ is rendered in the rubrics of the General
Confession, the Lord's Prayer in the Post Communion, and the last prayer of
the Commination Service? Is it in the sense of _post_ or _secundum_?
2. Where can any account of the translation of the Canons of 1604 into
English be found? It is apprehended the question is one more difficult to
answer than might be supposed.
T.Y.
_Hard by._--Is not _hard by_ a corruption of the German _hierbei_? I know
no other similar instance of the word _hard_, that is to say, as signifying
_proximity_, without the conjoint idea of _pressure_ or _pursuit._
K.
_Thomas Rogers of Horninger._--Can any of the readers of your valuable
publication give me, or put me in the way of obtaining, any information
about one Thomas Rogers, who was in some way connected with the village of
Horninger or Horringer, near Bury St. Edmunds, was author of a work on the
Thirty-nine Articles, and died in the year 1616?

_Armorial Bearings._--Three barrulets charged with six church bells, three,
two, and one, is a shield occurring in the Speke Chauntry, in Exeter
Cathedral.
