When naniiug Braintrcc let us not for^t that the celebrated John Ray M'as bom 

 and died at Black Notley, hard ])y. As he made it his business to investigate Eng- 

 lish ;oo^» of two kinds, and as there is in this treatise a conjunction of curious words 

 and close observation of nature, the fact is worth noting. 



There was a John Lawrence who, in 162G, gave his orchard, valued at 4 nobles 

 per annum, to the poor of Braintree. There were three brothers of the name, in 

 1.5.55, at Markstay ; in Essex, though not in the same hundred ; John, Robert, and 

 Thomas Lawrence. One Thomas Lawrence died possessed of the vicarage of Mark- 

 stay, Oct. 15, 1617, when his son Thomas was aged 15. Another Thomas died Sep. 

 14, 1614, John Lawrence his son being aged 30. et ampliiis. A John LawTtace 

 died Oct. 11, 1628, when John was his son and heir, aged 30, ct ampliut.
