1644. The HypocriU discovered and cwni. By Samuel Torshall. 4to. The following in. stance of fanaticism and impiety is recorded in the above work: — A Mr. Greswold, a gentlemm of Warwickshire, whom a Brownist had by de- gree$ enticed from his parish church, was after. wards persuaded to return to it — ^but he retuned with a troubled mind, and lost in the preralcDt theological contests. A horror of bis {utme ex. istence shut him out, as it were, from bis proem one : retiring into his own house, with his childieD, he ceased to communicate with the living wotld. He had his food put in at the window; tad when his children lay sick, he admitted no one for their relief. His nouse, at length, was fonxd open ; and they found two children dead, uid the father confined to his bed. He had mangled his bible, and cut out the titles, contents, ud every thing but the very text itself ; for it seems that he thought that every thing human vas sinful, and he conceived that the titles of the books and the contents of the chapters, were to be cut out of the sacred scriptures, as htrin; been composed by men.
1644. The first periodical publication isied in Denmark appeared at Copenhagen in tliis year ; but not a single copy of this is now koomi to be remaining.
1644. A printing-office situate in the Butcher Row, at Oxford, was destroyed by fire.
1644, Sept. 8. IHed, Francis Quacles, author of the Emblem*, &c. He was boa near Rumford, in Essex, in 1592, and became secretary to archbishop Usher, was afterwards chronologer to the city of London, and wrote much in both prose and verse ; but bis principal work was his Emblems, a set of quaint pictorial designs, referring to moral and reh^ous ideas, and each elucidated by a few appropriate renei. His Enchiridion, a series of moral and political observations, is also worthy of notice. His verses were more popular in their own time ihaa those of the gayest court poets, being recom- mended by a peculiar harshness and gloom, ac- cordant with the feelings of a large portion of the people. The Emblems have been reprinted. Quarles was also the author of a comedy, called the Virgin Widow, l(f2l.
