l. 991. Rosemary is not mentioned among the herbs for the bath; though a
poem in praise of the herb says:
Moche of this herbe to seeth thu take
In water, and a bathe thow make;
Hyt schal the make lyȝt and joly,
And also lykyng and ȝowuly.
_MS. of C. W. Loscombe, Esq., in Reliquiæ Antiquæ_, i. 196.
l. 995. _Bilgres._ Can this be _bugloss_? I find this, as here, in
juxtaposition with _scabiose_, in Bullein’s _Bulwarke of Defence_, Book
of Simples, fol xvj. b. G. P. Marsh.
l. 1004. For Selden’s Chapter on Precedence, see his _Titles of Honour_,
ch. xi. Rouge Dragon (Mr G. Adams) tells me that the order of precedence
has varied from time to time, and that the one now in force differs in
many points from Russell’s.
l. 1040. _Nurrieris._ I find no such name in Selden’s chap. ix., Of
Women. Does the word mean ‘foster-mothers or fathers,’ from the Latin
“Nutricarii, Matricularii, quibus enutriendi ac educandi infantes
projectos cura incumbebat: _Nourissiers._ Vita S. Goaris cap. 10:
_Hæcque consuetudo erat, ut quando aliquis homo de ipsis infantibus
projectis misericordia vellet curam habere, ab illis, quos_ Nutricarios
_vocant, matriculariis S. Petri compararet, et illi Episcopo ipsum
infantem præsentare deberent, et postea Episcopi auctoritas eumdem
hominem de illo_ Nutricario _confirmabat_. _Id clarius explicatur a
Wandelberto in Vita ejusdem Sancti_, cap. 20.” Ducange, ed. 1845.
