3. A religious tract, which seems only remarkable for its bad printing, obscure wording, and almost invariably using the third person singular of the verb, whatever be the nominative. It begins-- "To all you who profess the name of our Lord Jesus in words, and makes mention of his words, &c.".... And the first division ends-- "This have I written in love to all your soules, who am one who did drinke of the cup of fornication, and have drunke of the cup of indignation, but now drinkes the cup of salvation, where sorrow and tears is fled away; and yet am a man of sorrows and well acquainted with griefe, and suffers with the seed, and travels that it may be brought forth of captivity; called by the world F.H." Who is F.H.? 4. Sundry poems on husbandry, housewifery, and the like, by Thomas Tusser; but as the tract is mutilated up to cap. 3., "I have been prayde, To shew mine aide," &c., I am not book-learned enough to know whether it be the same as Tusser's _Five Hundred Poynts of Good Husbandry_. Information on any of the above points would oblige. |
