Ellis for the Camden Society, I
find the following entries:--
"1640. May 29th, old M'r Grice, in Aldersgate S't, who wore
_trunck_ breeches, died."
"1646. Oc'r 1. William Young, Chandler, within Aldersgate, a
discreet Juryman, and _Barba Longa_, died."
"Fe'r 21., old M'r Lewis, the _Mercenary Preacher_, buried."
Can any of your correspondents explain the meaning of "_Trunck_
Breeches," "_Barba Longa_," and "_Mercenary Preacher_?"

_Apposition._--Can any one give me a little information upon the
following passage?--
"Quin age, te incolumi potius (potes omnia quando,
Nec tibi nequiequam pater est qui sidera torquet)
Perficias quodcunque tibi nunc instat agendum."
_Hieronym. Vid. Christ._ lib. i. 67.
I want to know in what case _te incolumi_ is; and, if in the ablative
absolute, can any one bring a parallel construction from the writers
of the Augustan age, where the law of _apposition_ appears to be so
far violated?

"Vincent Gookin, Esq.," son of Sir Vincent Gookin, who, in the year
1634, published "a bitter invective, by way of letter, against the
nation.
