ache were in use, I commence with the former:

      "Like a milch-doe, whose swelling dugs do ake,

      Hasting to find her fawn hid in some brake."

Shakspeare's Venus and Adonis

      "By turns now half asleep, now half awake,

      My wounds began to smart, my hurt to ake."

Fairfax, Godf. of Bull., viii, 26.

      "Yet, ere she went, her vex'd heart, which did ake,

      Somewhat to ease, thus to the king she spake."

Drayton, Barons' Wars, iii. 75.

      "And cramm'd them till their guts did ake

      With caudle, custard, and plumcake."

Hudibras, ii. 2.

      The following is rather dubious:

      "If chance once in the spring his head should ach,

      It was foretold: thus says my almanack."

Hall, Sat. ii. 7., ed. Singer.

      The aitch, or rather, as I think, the atch sound, occurs in the following places:

      "B. Heigh ho!

      M. For a hawk, a horse, or a husband?

      B. For the letter that begins them all, H."

Much Ado about Nothing, Act III. Sc. 4.

      "Their fears of hostile strokes, their aches, losses."

Timon of Athens, Act V. Sc. 2.

      "Yea, fright all aches from your bones."

Jonson, Fox, ii. 2.

      "Wherefore with mine thou dow thy musick match,

      Or hath the crampe thy ionts benom'd with ache."

Spenser, Shep. Cal., viii. 4.

      "Or Gellia wore a velvet mastic-patch

      Upon her temples, when no tooth did ach."

Hall, Sat. vi. 1.

      "As no man of his own self catches

      The itch, or amorous French aches."

Hudibras, ii, 2.

      "The natural effect of love,

      As other flames and aches prove."

Ib., iii. 1.

      "Can by their pangs and aches find

      All turns and changes of the wind."

Ib., iii. 2.

      These, in Butler, are, I believe, the latest instances of this form of the word.

      INEDITED LETTER

      August 24th, 1690,

      Qu. Coll. Oxon.

      Dear S^r,

      I heartily thank you for the favour of your letter, and to shew itt will not fail to write as often as anything does occurr worth sending, if you think the accountt I give not troublesome. Dr. Adams, Dr. Rudston, and Delaune have promis'd to write this post: we remembred you both before and after your letters came w^th S^r John Matthews, who staid here 3 nights this weeke. Our militia is gone home cloath'd in Blew coates but many coxcombs of this city have refused to pay their quota towards the buying of them, railing against my L^d Abington, who has smooth'd the mob by giving a brace of Bucks last Friday in Port Meed. J. M. has bin expected here this fortnight: the Lady that calls herselfe by his nane has bin a good while at Astrop, and has discover'd her displeasure there, that her husband as shee calls him keeps the coach so long from her at Oxford: upon hearing of w^ch S^r W. H. in a blunt way gave her the old name, w^ch caus'd some dissatisfaction and left her smal acquaintance: I heare that the understanding between our Friend and his uncle is not so good as formerly, but I do not think it will end in Abdication. Mr. Painter is admitted Rector of Exeter. The Naked Gospel3 was burnt on y^e 19th in the Scholes Quadrangle. The Regents first drew up a Petition to have it censured; then some others more busy than wise tooke upon them to gett it subscribed, and went to coffee houses and taverns as well as colleges for that purpose: these proceedings being ag^st statute, and reflecting upon the vice ch., gave great offence; at last he call'd a meeting of y^e heads of houses, who deputed 6 to examine it: they pick'd several Proposit. w^ch were read. The sentence was in this form: Propositions &^c tanquā falsas et impias in Chris. Relig. et in Ecc. præcipue Anglicanā contumeliosas damnamus, plerasq; insuper hæreticas esse decernimus et declaramus, &^c. This was first subscribed by all y^e heads of Coll. and then condemn'd unanimously
