tween Ten and Twelve ; for, fays he, I was fent to 
Northallerton with a Horfe Load of Arrows, but they 
fent a bigger Boy from thence to the Army with them: 
I thought by thefe Marks I might find fomething in HiV 
ftories, and looked in an Old Chronicle that was in the 
Houfe, and I did find that Flowden field was an Hundred, 
fifty two Years before ; fo that if he was Ten or Ele- 
ven Years Old, he muft be One hundred fixty two 
Years, or three, as he faid when I examined him. I 
found by the Book, that Bows and Arrows were then 
ufed, and that the Earl he named was then General, 
and that King Henry VIII. was then at tournay

could neither Write nor Read : There were alfo Four or 
Five in the fame Parifli, that were reputed all of them 
to be an Hjandred Years Old, or within two or three 
[ i^ears of it, and they all faid he was an elderly Man 
tver fince they knew him ; for he was born in ano*

to the Lord Conyers^ and Remembred the Abbot of 
Fountains- Ah hy very well, who ufed to drink a Glafi 
with his Lord heartily, and that theDiffolution of the 
Monafteries he faid he well remembred.
