Hereafter, if you do not object, I hope to send larger extracts from
Baker's MSS.; at present I confine myself to a single specimen, taken
from the fly-leaf of a copy of Noy's _Compleat Lawyer_, London, 1665.
(St. John's Library, Class mark, I. 10. 49)
"Gul. Noye de S. Buriens. Com. Cornub. Armig. unus Magistrorum
de Banco fieri fecit, 1626. On a window in Lincoln Inn's
Chapell. See Stow's _Survey_, &c. vol. ii. lib. ii. p. 73.
"This book has a former edition, London, 1661; but not so fair a
print, and without the Author's Life.
"See Fuller's _Worthies in Cornwall_, p. 200.
"See Mr. Gerard's Letter to Lord Strafford, dated Jan 3. 1634.
_Mr. Noy continues ill, & is retired to his house at Brentford:
I saw him much fallen away in his Face & Body, but as yellow as
Gold--with the Jaundice--his bloody waters continue with drain
his Body._
"See Lloyd's _State Worthies_, p. 892, 893. &c.
"Aug. 9. [1634] Wm Noy Esquire the King's Attorney died at
Brainford.--Mr. Ric. Smith's _Obituary_.
