Page xxv. I, Izaak Walton. 



With respect to the peculiar orthography employed by Walton 

 as to his christian name, it is to be remembered, that in his 

 time it was frequently spelled in the Scriptures Izak, Izaacke; 

 and Izaack ; and also that such a manner was agreeable to the 

 original Hebrew of the word Itzhak, or Laughter, vide Gen. 

 xxi. 6. In this circumstance Walton was, most probably, 

 guided by some of the many learned divines with whom he was 

 acquainted. 



Page xxix. Witness Abraham Markland. 



The appearance of the above name as a witness to Walton's 

 Will, is an additional proof of the great respect in which he was 

 held by the most eminent clergy of his time. Dr. Abraham 

 Markland was a Prebendary of Winchester Cathedral, where he 

 was installed the 4th of July 1692, and in August 1694 he was 

 named Master of the Hospital of St. Cross, near the above city. 

 He published several Poems, in 1667, 4to. composed in that 

 retirement, and " A Sermon, preached before the Aldermen in 

 Guildhall Chapel," Lond. 1683, 4to. Ath. Oxon. Edit, by Bliss, 

 vol. iv. p. 710. The above circumstances were obligingly 

 pointed out by his descendant J. H. Markland, Esq. F.R.S. etc. 

 Walton's Will, which is given in the text, is recorded in the Pre- 

 rogative Court of Canterbury, in the volume called 1. Hare 375, 

 Art. 24. It was proved by the Executors at London, on Fe- 

 bruary the 4th, 1683-4, before Sir Thomas Exton and Sir Leo- 

 line Jenkins.
