Afterwards the celebrated Cardinal Pole, Archbishop of Canterbury. He is said to have been allowed a large pension to enable him to travel into Italy, but of which he was afterwards deprived. The entry in these accounts of 70_li._ was, it is most probable, a mere gratuity, or present, for we never find another instance of a similar payment. As Pole was then thirty years of age, the title of "the Kings _scholar_" is curious. Rat-taker. The name of the rat-taker in the 30 Hen. VIII. was John Wolley. _Book of Quarterly Payments_, 29-32 Henry VIII. Relick water. It has been suggested whether Relick water was not water in which some relicks had been immersed, with the view of giving it a sanative quality, which was probably supposed to be imparted to those who tasted of, or were sprinkled with it. Removing day. This expression was thus used by Henry the Eighth: Sir Thomas More informed Cardinal Wolsey that he asked Henry to dispatch some business on the day on which his letter was written; "his Grace lawghed, and saied, Nay by my fayth, that will not be, for this is my _removing day_ sone at New Hall." Ellis's _Original Letters_, Second Series, vol. i. p. 293. Rights. Much light is thrown upon this word, by the following entry in the _Book of Quarterly Payments_, 29-33 Hen. VIII. "Item for the Kingis offeringe this Sonday at _taking his Rights_ in the mornyng, vj _s._ viij _d._" Thus it was clearly connected with a religious duty, though its precise meaning has not been ascertained. It is needless to observe that the conjecture on the subject in p. 347 is decidedly erroneous. Rowme or Rome. This word is thus further illustrated: Cavendish makes Brereton say, "Furnished with _romes_ I was by the kyng, The best I am sewer he had in my contrie Stewart of the Holt, a _rome_ of great wynnyng In the marches of Wales, the which he gave to me." And imputes to Norris the remark, "Offices and _romes_ he gave me great plenty." Ed. Singer, vol. ii. pp. 25, 34. It is hence obvious that the explanation given in p. 348 is correct. Sloppes.
