* Dr. Casaubon, the son of the learned Isaac, was dispossessed of his livings, but was reinstated at the Restoration. Shortly afterwards he exchanged Minster and Monckton for the rectory of Ickham in the same county. He died in 1671, in the 72nd year of his age.
* Nicknamed “Blue Dick of Thanet,” v. Wood's Fasti, ii. 447.
* Vide Wood's Athenæ, iii. 388, and Walker's Sufferings of the Clergy.
* The framers of the petition put headings, “Shoreham” and “Otford,” as if to keep the signatures of the two parishes distinct; but the scrabblings of the subscribers make the distinction very difficult, if indeed possible. I think it was originally intended that there should be a double column of signatures to each parish. As nearly as I can guess, the first column viz. from “Gilbourne” to “Dab” are for Shoreham; and the second column, from “Polhill” to “Sharke” are for Otford.
* The other signatures are in the margin, as if the parties signed to the particular clauses opposite their names, and not to the whole petition.
* The Letter is dated “Marsham,” which I interpret “Mersham ;” if so, this was his second living, and I have called him Incumbent thereof accordingly: his other living was Old Romney.—v. No. 36, p. 73, charge 4, where he is proved to have been Rector of Mersham.
† ? “Swar ”or “Swaw ;’ in either case a misrendering, probably, of the word “Shaw,” i.e. a plot of underwood.
* Hollingbourne was only a sinecure Rectory ; it had no cure of souls : the Rectors were Patrons of the chapelry of Bredhurst, the incumbents of which were “Perpetual Curates ”under the mother church of Hollingbourne.
* The other signatures are in the margin, as if the parties signed to the particular clauses opposite their names, and not to the whole petition.
* The Corporation Seal—St. Martin and the beggar.
* i.e. Padlesworth, commonly called Palsworth and Palsford : Stanford and Padlesworth are chapelries attached to Lyminge.
* The other signatures are in the margin, as if the parties signed to the particular clauses opposite their names, and not to the whole petition.
* Evidently this and LVI. were one inclosed in the other—one missive.
page 206 note * It must be 1637,1638, or 1639, because Bishop Warner succeeded Bishop Bowle in 1637, and Bishop Bowle, uncle of Mr. Chase, is spoken of herein as the late Bishop, “predecessor to your Lordship.”
page 207 note * Stone Castle then belonged to Sir Henry Carew, Knight.
page 209 note * “Morigerous,” i.e. mannerly, dutiful. The word “than “is probably omitted after “Lordshipp.” The Uncle was Bishop Bowle.
* i.e. Bowle, Bishop of Rochester.
† i.e. his other living, Chislehurst.
* Spare—i.e. kept in reserve.
* i.e. Dr. Balcanquall.
* There is no date. I supply it by conjecture.
* No date. I have assigned it conjecturally.
