Archdeacon Nares explains Shovel-board to be "a common trivial game, which consisted in pushing or shaking pieces of money on a board to reach certain marks. Shovel-board play is graphically described in a poem entitled _Mensa Lubrica_, &c. written both in Latin and English by Thomas Master. The English Poem is cited at large in Bliss's edition of _Anth. Wood_, vol. iii. p. 84. The table had lines or divisions marked with figures, according to the value of which the player counted his game. It is minutely described by Strutt, _Sports and Pastimes_, p. 267, as still in use in pot houses, and played with a smooth halfpenny. The game was also called Shove-groat, Shove-board, and Shuffle-board." _Glossary._ Shrobbe, Hanley and Wakefield, to the ranger and keepers of, 160.

People supposed to be healed by the King's touch from the disease, thence called the King's Evil. "Andrew Borde, who wrote his _Introduction to Knowledge_, in king's reign, states, that 'the Kinges of England, by the power that God hath gyven to them, doth make sicke men whole of a syckness called the Kynges evyll.' This extract and the entry above are sufficient to prove, were other evidence wanting, that Dr. Percy was much mistaken in supposing that 'this miraculous gift was left to be claimed by the Stuarts." Some curious matter upon this subject is collected in a note by Nichols, _Literary Anecdotes_, 195, II. 504, Reed, Shak. X. 243, and see 195. Amongst the Conway papers (MSS) there is an order for a proclamation, dated 13th May, 1625, to forbid the repair of people to court till Michaelmas following, to be healed of the King's Evil, and that for the future all shall bring certificates from the minister, &c. of the parish, for that many being healed, have disposed of their pieces of gold otherwise than was intended, _and thereby fall into relapse_.' Sir Kenelm Digby informed Mons. Moncenys, that if the person cured lost the piece of gold, the complaint immediately returned. Moncenys' _Travels_, t. ii. p. 20. Fabian Phillips, in his _Treatise on Purveyance_, asserts that the angels issued by the Kings of England on these occasions amounted to a charge of 3000_l._ per annum, p. 25.
