"Rex autem atque vicarius Ejus ad hoc est constitutus, ut regnum terrenum, populum Dei, et super omnia _sanctam ecclesiam_, revereatur et ab injuriatoribus _defendat_," &c. Which duty of princes was further enforced by the words-- "Illos decet vocari reges, qui vigilant, _defendunt_, et regunt Ecclesiam Dei et populum Ejus, imitantes regem psalmographum," &c.--Vid. _Rogeri de Hoveden Annal._, par. post., Sec.. Regis Officium; ap. Rerum Anglicarum Scriptores post Bedam, ed. Francof. 1601, p. 604. Conf. Prynne's _Chronol. Records_, ed. Lond. 1666, tom i. p. 310. This law appears always to have been received as of authority after the Conquest; and it may, perhaps, be considered as the first seed of that constitutional church supremacy vested in our sovereigns, which several of our kings before the Reformation had occasion to vindicate against Papal claims, and which Henry VIII. strove to carry in the other direction, to an unconstitutional excess. J. SANSOM. _Sauenap, Meaning of_ (Vol. ii., p. 479.).--The word probably means a _napkin_ or _pinafore_; the two often, in old times, the same thing. The Cornish name for _pinafore_ is _save-all_. (See Halliwell's _Arch. Dict._) I need not add that _nap_, _napery_, was a common word for linen. GEORGE STEPHENS. Stockholm. _Sir Thomas Herbert's Memoirs_ (Vol. ii., p. 476.).--The memoirs of Charles I. by Sir Thomas Herbert were published in 1702. I transcribe the title from a copy in my possession:-- "Memoirs of the two last years of the reign of that unparall'd prince, of ever blessed memory, king Charles I. By sir Tho. Herbert, major Huntingdon, col. Edw. Coke, and Mr. Hen. Firebrace, _etc_. London, Rob. Clavell, 1702, 8vo." The volume, for a publication of that period, is of uncommon occurrence. It was printed, as far as above described, "from a _manuscript_ of the Right Reverend the Bishop of Ely, lately deceased." The remainder of the volume consists of reprinted articles. BOLTON CORNEY. _Robert Burton_ (Vol. iii., p. 106.).--The supposition that the author of the _Anatomy of Melancholy_ was born at Fald, Staffordshire, instead of Lindley, Leicestershire, seems probable from the fact, that in an edition of the _History of Leicestershire_, by his brother William, I find that the latter dates his preface "From Falde, neere Tutbury, Staff., Oct. 30. 1622." In this work, also, under the head "Lindley," is given the pedigree of his family, commencing with "James de Burton, Squier of the body to King Richard the First;" down to "Rafe Burton, of Lindley, borne 1547; died 17 March, 1619;" leaving "Robert Burton, bachelor of divinity and student of Christ Church, Oxon; author of the _Anatomy of Melancholy_; borne 8 of Febr. 1578;" and "William Burton, author of this work (_History of Leicestershire_), borne 24 of Aug. 1575, now dwelling at Falde, ann. 1622."
