"1704, Aug. 18, died Riches Browne, gent., aged 62."--Scarning, Norfolk. The father of this Riches was also Riches, and was married to the daughter of John Nabs! (_vide_ Blomefield, vi. 5). Several names may be set in higgledy-piggledy fashion, for they belong to no class, and are _sui generis_. Pleasant[55] is found several times: "1681, Nov. 8. Christened Pleasant, daughter of Robert Tarlton."--St. Dionis Backchurch. "1725, Dec. 18. William Whiteing, of Chislett, to Pleasant Burt, of Reculver."--Cant. Cath. "1728, Nov. 3. Buried Pleasant Smith, late wife of Mr. John Smith."--St. Dionis Backchurch. The following, no doubt, had a political as well as spiritual allusion. It occurs several times in the New York Directory of the present year: "1689, March 4. Petition of Freeman Howes, controller of Chichester port."--"C. S. P. Treasury." "1691, Sep. 21. Petition of Freeman Collins."--Ditto. "1661. Petition of Freeman Sonds."--"C. S. P. Domestic."[56] What a freak of fancy is commemorated in the following: "1698, June 23. Examination of Isaac Cooper, Thomas Abraham, and Centurian Lucas."--C. S. P. "1660, June. Petition of Handmaid, wife of Aaron Johnson."--C. S. P. "1661, August 29. Baptized Miracle, son of George Lessa."--New Buckenham. "1728. Married John Foster to Beulah Digby."--Somerset House Chapel. The Trinity in Unity were not held in proper reverence; for _Trinity_ Langley fought in the army of Cromwell, while _Unity_ Thornton (St. James, Piccadilly, 1680) and _Unity_ Awdley ("Top. et. Gen.," viii. 201) appear a little later: "1694, Jan. 8. James Commelin to Mrs. Unitie Awdrey."--Market Lavington. "1668, Feb. 15. Baptized Unity, son of John Brooks."--Banbury. _Providence_ Hillershand died August 14, 1749, aged 72 (Bicknor, Gloucester). Providence was a _he_. "1752, Nov. 5. Buried Selah, d. of Ric. and Diana Collins."--Dyrham, Gloucestershire. "1586, April 10. Baptized My-sake Hallam."--Cranbrook. Biblical localities were much resorted to: "1616, Nov. 26. Baptized Bethsaida, d. of Humphrey Trenouth."--St. Columb Major. "1700, June 6. Buried Canaan, wife of John Hatton, 55 years."--Forthampton, Gloucestershire. "1706, April 27. Married Eden Hardy to Esther Pantall."--St. Dionis Backchurch. "1695, Dec. 15. Baptized Richard, son of Richard and Nazareth Rudde."--St. James, Piccadilly. _Nazareth_ Godden's will was administrated upon in 1662. _Battalion_ Shotbolt was defendant in a suit in the eleventh year of Queen Anne (Decree Rolls, Record Office). The following is odd: "1683, Oct. 11. Buried Mr. _Inward_ Ansloe."--Cant. Cath. V. A SCOFFING WORLD.
