    But not a Papist. (another name for Catholics in olden days)
    At that time there were learned men going around known as "Poor Scholars" who used to teach the children. One of these was passing the gate and he saw the writing, he did not like that because they were good Catholics. So he rubbed out the writing and wrote under-neath it.
    Who ever wrote it
    Wrote it well
    But the same is written
    On the gates of Hell.
    When the owner of the house saw it he was very angry and he put on the paper that he would give a hundred pounds reward to whoever would tell who put down the writing but the story was never given away to him.
