| Description Of Item | Verses (translation in English of Latin verses attributed to Daniel Rogers):
‘How many Days, in one whole year there be
So many windows, in one Church we see
So many marble Pillars there appear
as there are hours, throughout [the] fleeting year
So many gates, as moons, one year Doth view:
Strange tale to tell: yet not so strange as true’
Copied from R. B., Admirable Curiosities, Rarities, and Wonders in England, Scotland, and Ireland (1682).
Manuscript marginalia in a library copy of William Salmon, Iatrica: seu Praxis Medendi (1684) – library reference M.10.50.
