On the other hand, taking Hyngham (or Ingham) as a place-name, we go, as the kiddies say, from "cold" to "hot" at once. There are three places of this name, all comparatively close to one another. There is Ingham near Bury-St.-Edmunds, Ingham near Lincoln, and Ingham 16 miles N.E. from Norwich. I have been unable at present to trace any ecclesiastical connection with the two Inghams first named. But at Ingham near Norwich, Sir Miles de Stapleton, of Bedale, in Yorkshire, in the fourteenth century founded a chantry in the church of Ingham, with a warden and two priests, in honour of the Holy Trinity. This foundation afterwards became a priory of friars of the order of the Holy Trinity, otherwise known as "Trinitarians" or "Mathurines." At the dissolution there were seven friars, and a revenue estimated at £63 per annum. "Yngham Trynyte" is twice mentioned in Bale's _Three Laws_ [Works, E.E.D.S. 34 and 63]. In Carlisle's _Topographical Dictionary_ of England (1808), Ingham is spoken of as being in the fourteenth century "a college or priory of the order of the Holy Trinity." This is as far as I have at present gone, but I shall not have sought and written in vain if my remarks lead to further research in connection with these Macro plays. The new light certainly tends to confirm Mr. Pollard's dates; but how far it affects his argument founded on the collation of the manuscript, I do not know, and writing, as I do, far away from the great centres of antiquarian literary research and reference, my inquiries have been perforce of the slightest. MADGE MASON, "it passeth any man's _madge mason_" (R211,_b_), imagination: People, like Codrus in _Misogonus_ (Anon. Pl., Series 2), is given to distorting the "hard words" he hears. MAHOUND, "by _Mahound's_ bones, ... by _Mahound's_ nose" (WS144,_c_), Mahomed. MAIN GROAT (IP341,_c_), a term at hazard: an earlier use than in _O.E.D._ MAINMISSION, "needest no _mainmission_" (N48,_c_), manumission: rare, a refashioning after _main_ hand (_O.E.D._, in which the only example given is the present one). MAINPRIZE (N123,_c_), to procure or grant the release of a prisoner by making oneself surety for his appearance. "Mede shal nouz[gh]te _meynprise_ [gh]ow bi the Marie of heuene."--Langland, _Piers Plow_. (1377), B. iv. 179. MAISTRY, "no _maistry_ yourself to comfort" (N121,_d_), _i.e._ it is no achievement (or is easy), to comfort yourself. "It is no grete _maistre_ to gader up that money."--_Paston_ _Lett._ (1456), I. 380. MAKEBATE (IP315,_d_), busybody, breeder of strife "a discordant element." "They agree better together, then to fal at variance for y^e wild wordes of suche a malicious _make-bate_."--More, _Suppl._ _Soulys_ (1529), _Works_, 296, 2.
