In a Geneva band....
And squire thy untooth'd aunt to an exercise,

and also:--

[she] divides
The day in exercise.
--Mayne's _City Match_ (1639), iv, v.

p. 372 _Duke of Glocester._ Henry of Oatlands, Duke of Gloucester,
youngest son of Charles I. Born 8 July, 1639, he died of smallpox at
Whitehall 13 September, 1660. The Parliament sent him to the
continent on 11 February, 1653.

p. 373 _he should have been bound Prentice._ A proposition was
actually made in Parliament that the young Duke of Gloucester should
be bound to a trade, in order, as it was impudently expressed, 'that
he might earn his bread honestly.' Fortunately, saner counsels
prevailed, in which his fate was happier than that of the Dauphin
committed to the cruelties of Citizen Simon, cordwainer.

p. 373 _Old Thurlo._ John Thurloe (1616-68), Secretary of State to
Cromwell; M.P. for Ely, 1654 and 1656. He died 21 February, 1668.

+Act III: Scene i+

p. 378 _Highness's Funeral._ A large portion of the debt incurred
for Oliver Cromwell's magnificently extravagant funeral ceremonies
fell on Richard, who was obliged to retire for a while to the
continent to avoid arrest and await some settlement. These obsequies
cost in all the huge sum of L60,000, which there was a great
difficulty in paying. The chief undertaker's name was Rolt. See note
on _The Widow Ranter_ --'Trusting for Old Oliver's funeral,' Act i.
(Vol. IV.)

p. 378 _Walter Frost._ Walter Frost, secretary to the Republican
Council of State, was quondam manciple of Emmanuel, Cambridge, and
acted as spy-master and manager of the 'committee hackneys,' which
hunted down and betrayed Royalists. This infamous fellow, who dubbed
himself Esquire and Latinized his name to Gualter, was authorized to
publish (i.e. write) 'intelligence every week upon Thursday
according to an Act of Parliament for that purpose.' He licensed _A
Briefe Relation_ (No 1, 2 October, 1649) from its second number
until 22 October, 1650. This is certainly one of the most evil and
lying of the Republican diurnals.

p. 378 _Hutchinson._ Richard Hutchinson, deputy treasurer to Sir
Henry Vane. He succeeded as Treasurer to the Navy in 1651 and
continued to hold office after the Restoration. He is several times
mentioned by Pepys.

p. 379 _Jacobus._ A gold coin value 25s., first current in the reign
of James I.
