from the Dutch which are Saxon words as Dr. Skinner will inform him in his Etymologicon linguae Anglicanae Bigamy The marriage of two Wives at the same time which according to Common Law hinders a man from taking holy orders Here our Author speaks some truth at peradventure For he that marries two Wives at the same time commits Felony and the punishment of Felony is Death which suppose it be by hanging may very well hinder him from taking holy Orders I find he does not understand the word Blunderbusse A long Gun that will carry Here long stands for short by a new figure Bordlanders The Demeans that the Lords keep in their hands for the maintenance of their Board or Table He should have said Bordlands for Bordlanders are the Tenants that held such Lands called in Domesday Bordarii Bowsing in Faulconry is when c.

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.

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 Justiciarii 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.
