_Hollander's Austerity, &c._--Will you, or some one of your readers,
kindly explain the allusions in the following passage?--
"Mr. Secretary Winwood is dead, whereby you see _Death expects no
Complement_, otherwise he would certainly have _kept it at the
Staff's End_, with a kind of _Hollander's austerity_." [Sir Th.
Wentworth to Sir H. Wotton, Nov. 8. 1617, _Strafford's Letters and
Despatches_, vol. i. p. 5.]
