[10] Guion was not half so popular in England as Guiot. There are fifty-five Wyatts to three Wyons in the London Directory (1870). If Spenser had written of Guyon two centuries earlier, this might have been altered. Guy Fawkes ruined Guy. He can never be so popular again. [11] Cornwall would naturally be last to be touched by the Reformation. Hence these old forms were still used to the close of Elizabeth's reign, as for instance: "1576, March 24. Baptized Ibbett, d. of Kateryne Collys, bastard. "1576, July 30. Baptized Isott, d. of Richard Moyle."--St. Columb Major. [12] This connection of Scripture name with present circumstance ran out its full period. In the diary of Samuel Jeake, a well-known Puritan of Rye, occurs this reference to his son, born August 13, 1688: "At 49 minutes past 11 p.m. exactly (allowing 10' that the sun sets at Rye before he comes to the level of the horizon, for the watch was set by the sun-setting), my wife was safely delivered of a son, whom I named Manasseh, hoping that God had now made me _forget_ all my toils."--"History of Town and Port of Rye," p. 576. Manasseh = forgetfulness. A bishop may be instanced. Aylmer, who succeeded Sandys in the see of London, was for many years a favourer of Puritanism, and had been one of the exiles. His sixth son was _Tobel_ (_i.e._ God is good), of Writtle, in Essex. Archbishop Whitgift was his godfather, and the reason for his singular appellation was his mother's being overturned in a coach without injury when she was pregnant (Cooper's "Ath. Cant." ii. 172). Again: "At Dr. Whitaker's death, his wife is described as being 'partui vicina,' and a week afterwards her child was christened by the name of _Jabez_, doubtless for the scriptural reason 'because, she said, I bare him with sorrow.'"--Cooper's "Ath. Cant." ii. 197. [13] Esther's other name of Hadassah had a share of favour. So late as William and Mary's reign we find the name in use: "1691, May 24. Christened Hadasa, daughter of Arthur Richardson. "1693, Sep. 4. Christened John, son of Nicholas and Hadassah Davis."--St. Dionis Backchurch. [14] In the Lancashire "Church Surveys," 1649-1655, being the first volume of the Lancashire and Cheshire Record Society's publications, edited by Colonel Fishwick, occur Thurston Brown, Thurston Brere, Thurston Brich, on one single page of the index. [15] To tell a lie is to tell a _lee_ in Lancashire. [16] Several names seem to have been taken directly from the Hebrew tongue. "Amalasioutha" occurs as a baptismal name in the will of a man named Corbye, 1594 (Rochester Wills); Barijirehah in that of J. Allen, 1651, and Michalaliel among the Pilgrim Fathers (Hotten).
