Doublet A precious Stone consisting of two peices joyned together Nor good Lapidary for a Doublet is no precious Stone but a counterfeit consisting usually of two peices of Glass artificially put together with a foyl in the midst answerable in colour to that Stone you would have it resemble But it is ordinary with him to take counterfeit for right Downe The name of a Town in Ireland formerly a Bishops See I doubt our Author still fancies we are under a levelling Commonwealth for Downe is now as formerly a Bishops See Droit Signifieth in Common Law a double right the right of possession and the right of the Lord. Sometimes our Author when he borrows out of another Book swallows an Erratum of the Printer and puts it down sence or not sence Here he fancied an Erratum when there was none for this word in our Law-Expositors is Droit-droit or Dreit-dreit signifying a double right that is Jus possessionis jus dominii which he thought to correct by making a single Droit to signifie a double right and by translating Jus Dominii the right of the Lord. Ember Week In Latine Cineralia the week before Lent wherein by the ancient Institution of the Church people were
to fast and the Bishop used to sprinkle Ashes on their Heads saying Remember O Man that thou art ashes and to ashes thou shalt return Imber signifying in the Saxon tongue Ashes whence our word Embers cometh We will for once enumerate the Errors in the Exposition of this one word 1. He concludes there is but one Ember-week of four well known 2. Cineralia is Latine for Ash-wednesday 3. The Ember-week he aimed at is not before Lent but in the first whole week of Lent 4. By no Institution were people to fast the week before Lent 5. The Bishop did not sprinkle Ashes on their Heads but made a Cross on their Foreheads with Ashes 6. The words were Memento homo quia pulvis es Dust not Ashes 7. Imber in the Saxon Tongue does not signifie Ashes nor in truth is there any such word And 8 by consequence our word Embers cannot come from thence Our Author ought to do some penance to expiate these faults Emergent An Emergent occasion is taken for a business of great consequence Well guessed An Emergent occasion is that which rises unexpectedly out of some other and was not foreseen Enquest In Common Law is the tryal of causes both Civil and Criminal by the Jury It is not the tryal it self but that Inquisition which the Jury makes in all Causes Civil or Criminal touching the Matter in Fact in order to their Verdict and the Tryal Errant A Justice which rides the Circuit from the Latine word Errare This is an errant mistake for it does not alone signifie such a Justice the Latine in the Statute of Marlebridge is Justificiarii Itinerantes which Sir Edward Coke sometimes Englishes Justices in Eire sometimes Justices Itinerant and the Mirror cap. 6. says in French Que sont ore apels Justices Errants If our Author had said that Errant is sometimes used for a Knight Errant it had been more allowable Exigent Lat.

Peace and Socen i. e. To seek Neither is the Explication true nor the Derivation The Saxon words are Frith Peace and Soc a Liberty or Power So that Frithsocne signifies a Power or Jurisdiction of keeping the Peace Gainage In Common Law is Land held of the Baser kind of Sokemen or Villains Sufficiently mistaken We never till now read of Land held of Villains who had no property but Ad voluntatem Domini Gallon Spanish A measure containing two quarts Our Author had better omitted this word since every Alewife can contradict him Garnishment French Signifieth in Common Law the issuing forth a Writ of Scire facias against the Plaintiff for an Action of Detinâ—e of Charters brought against the Defendant Perfect nonsence Garnishment in Law signifies a Warning If you will know particularly how the word is used you had need find out a better Expositor then our Author Grand Sergeanty A certain kind of service whereby the Lords of Scrivelby in Cheshire held their Land which was to come well armed c. If the Author had well explicated the word his mistaking Cheshire for Lincolnshire had been the more pardonable Goman Saxon A married man and Gron a Saxon word signifying a Fenny place Neither of them for ought I know are at all of kin to that Language For thus the Learned Dr. Skinner on the word Goman Author meaning ours dicit esse vocem Angl.

Varrenna or Vivarium A Prescription or Grant to a Man from the King of having Phesants Patridges Conies and Hares within certain of his Lands Nor does this mend the matter for though a man may have a Warren by Prescription yet Warren does not signifie a Prescription or Grant Wolfetchsod Sax.
