_Meaning of "folowed."_--Inside the cover of an old Bible and Prayer-Book,
bound in one quarto, Robert Barker, 1611, is the following inscription:
"July eight I was much folowed when I lay in bed alone att Mistris
Whitmore's house, wee haveing agreed too bee married nextt daye.
"God, even our own God, shal bless us. This incouriged mee too hope for
God's favour and blessing through Christ.
"Christopher Curwen and Hannah Whitmore was married att Lambe's Chapel,
near Criplegate, July ninth, 1712."
An entry of his marriage with his first wife, Elizabeth Sutton, 1704, is on
the cover at the beginning of the book.
Can any one of your correspondents enlighten me as to the meaning of the
word _folowed_? The letters are legibly written, and there can be no
mistake about any of them. Is it an expression derived from the Puritans?
