Dial Mottoes (Vol. iv., p. 471.).
—The following is an inscription which I copied from a dial-plate in the churchyard of Kirk-Arbory, Isle of Man:
"Thomas Kirkall de
Bolton Fecit.
Horula dum quota sit
Quæritur hora fugit.
1678."
There is a coat of arms also, but the tinctures are not marked; viz. Quarterly of three coats: first and fourth, three roundels in fess, between two barrulets; second, on a bend three mullets; third, a chevron between three lozenges.
