inasmuch as he does not appear to have believed in it himself. The name, as a matter of fact, was given in the early part of the sixteenth century, in certain families of position, to the eldest son and heir, denoting that in him was carried on the original stock. The Bellamys of Lambcote Grange, Stainton, are a case in point. The eldest son for three generations bore the name; viz. _Original_ Bellamy, buried at Stainton, September 12, 1619, aged 80; _Original_, his son and heir, the record of whose death I cannot find; and _Original_, his son and heir, who was baptized December 29, 1606. The first of these must have been born in 1539, far too early a date for the name to be fathered upon the Puritans. _Original_ was in use in the family of Babington, of Rampton. Original Babington, son and heir of John Babington, was a contemporary of the first Original Bellamy (Nicholl's "Gen. et Top.," viii.). Another instance occurs later on: "1635, May 21. These under-written names are to be transported to St. Christopher's, imbarqued in the _Matthew_ of London, Richard Goodladd, master, per warrant from ye Earle of Carlisle: "Originall Lowis, 28 yeres," etc.--Hotten's "Emigrants," p. 81. _Sense_, a common name in Elizabeth and James's reigns, looks closely connected with some of the abstract virtues, such as Prudence and Temperance. The learned compiler of the "Calendar of State Papers" (1637-38) seems to have been much bothered with the name: "1638, April 23. Petition of Seuce Whitley, widow of Thomas Whitley, citizen, and grocer." The suggestion from the editorial pen is that this Seuce (as he prints it) is a bewildered spelling of Susey, from Susan! The fact is, Seuce is a bewildered misreading on the compiler's part of Sense, and Sense is an English dress of the foreign Senchia, or Sancho, still familiar to us in Sancho Panza. Several of the following entries will prove that Sense was too early an inmate of our registers to be a Puritan agnomen: "1564, Oct. 15. Baptized Saints, d. of Francis Muschamp. "1565, Nov. 25. Buried Sence, d. of ditto. "1559, June 13. Married Matthew Draper and Sence Blackwell. "1570-1, Jan. 15. Baptized Sence, d. of John Bowyer."--Camberwell Church. "1651. Zanchy Harvyn, Grocer's Arms, Abbey Milton."--"Tokens of Seventeenth Century." "1661, June. Petition of Mrs. Zanchy Mark."--C. S. P. That it was familiar to Camden in 1614 is clear: "Sanchia, from Sancta, that is, Holy."--"Remaines," p. 88. The name became obsolete by the close of the seventeenth century, and, being a saintly title, was sufficiently odious to the Presbyterians to be carefully rejected by them in the sixteenth century. Men who refused the Apostles their saintly title were not likely to stamp the same for life on weak flesh.[35]
