[198] “Justices charged to punish such as sel bels from their churches, Elizabeth 14.”--_Stow._ [199] “The 13th of November.”--_1st edition_, p. 210. [200] “This conduite was the first sweete water that was conveyed by pipes of lead under ground to this place in the citie from Paddington.”--_1st edition_, p. 210. [201] This is obviously an error. It occurs in the first edition, is repeated in that of 1603, and by Anthony Munday, in his edition of 1618. Strype (vol. i. book iii. p. 35), endeavours to correct it, by reading “Mary,” who was crowned in 1553, instead of Anne. The error, however, is in the date, which should be 1533, the year of Anne Boleyn’s coronation, as we learn from the description of that ceremony given by Stow in his _Annals_, “that she went forward by the crosse which was _newly gilt_.” [202] _Soler_ is described by Tyrwhitt, in his edition of Chaucer’s _Canterbury Tales_, as originally signifying an open gallery or balcony at the top of the house, though latterly used for any upper room, loft, or garret. Tyrwhitt refers in his Glossary, to the _Cook’s Tale of Gamelyn_, for an authority for the use of the word in the latter sense-- “He fleigh up until alofte, And shet the dore fast. * * * * * And saugh where he looked out At a _solere_ window.” The German _Söller_ is used by Luther in his magnificent translation of the Bible in both senses:--“Peter went up upon the house-top to pray”--“_Stieg Petrus hinauf auf den SÖLLER zu beten._” Acts x. 9. “And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room”--“_Und als sie hinein kamen, stiegen sie auf den SÖLLER._” Acts i. 13.

[204] “Henry Frowicke.”--_Ibid._ [205] “Locke his armes in the windowes.”--_Stow._ [206] Because “of old time, since the raigne of William the Conqueror (that first brought Jewes from Roan into this realme), many Jewes inhabited thereabouts, until that in the year 1290, the 18th of Edw. I., they were wholly and for ever by the said king banished this realme, having of their owne goodes to beare their charges, till they were out of dominions. The number of the Jewes at that time banished were 15,060 persons, whose houses being sold, the king made of them a mightie masse of money.”--_1st edition_, p. 219. [207] “Sixty years since.”--_Ibid._ [208] “The tooth of some monstrous fish, as I take it. A shank-bone, of twenty-five inches long, of a man, as is said, but might be of an oliphant.”--_Stow._ [209] “A Countess of Cornwall and Chester, but her name and time is not apparent.”--_1st edition_, p. 220.
