The Passion of our Lord dramatised.—Busby, in his History of Music, vol. i. p. 249., says:
"It has been very generally supposed, that the manner of reciting and singing in the theatres formed the original model of the church service; an idea sanctioned by the fact, that the Passion of our Saviour was dramatised by the early priests."
What authority is there for this statement?

Ludwell: Lunsford: Kemp.—Inscription on a tombstone in the graveyard of the old church at Williamsburgh:
"Under this marble lyeth the body of Thomas Ludwell, Esq., Secretary of Virginia, who was born at Burton, in the county of Somerset, in the kingdom of England, and departed this life in the year 1698: and near this place lie the bodies of Richard Kemp, Esq., his predecessor in the secretary's office, and Sir Thomas Lunsford, Knt., in memory of whom this marble is here placed by Philip Ludwell, Esq., son of the said Thomas Ludwell, Esq., in the year 1727."
Information is respectfully asked as to the persons and families mentioned in the foregoing inscription. Sir Thomas Lunsford is said to have come from Surrey, and to have served during the civil wars.
