page 156 note a Transcribed from a printed Broadside (measuring 13¼ inches by 7½) preserved in the Dyce and Forster Collection in the South Kensington Museum. It is contained in a volume lettered Dryden, Pope, &c., 1660–1697, and the press-mark is Case 21, shelf 6.

The Pnlpit referred to in these verses is probably that which is seen in the View of The. Choir of 8. Paul's Cathedral, dated 1754, in Strype's edition of Stow's Survey published in that year. This Pulpit appears to have been removed very early in the present century; for in Malcolm's Londinium Redivivum (iii. 126), published in 1803, we are told that “a new pulpit has been recently erected, designed by Mr. Milne, clerk of the works to the Church. Many parts of it are handsome, but the effect is upon the whole rather heavy. The carving is very good; by Mr. Wyatt and an ingenious Frenchman.”
