[The earliest notice of pews occurs in the _Vision of Piers Plouman_,
p. 95., edit. 1813:--
"Among wyves and wodewes ich am ywoned sute
Yparroked _in puwes_. The person hit knoweth."
See also _The History of Pews_, a paper read before the Cambridge
Camden Society, 1841.]
{57} _Flemish Account._--T.B.M. (Vol. i., p. 8.) requests references to
early instances of the use of this expression. In the _History of Edward
II._, by E.F., written A.D. 1627 (see "NOTES AND QUERIES" Vol. i., pp. 91.
220.), folio edition, p. 113., I find "The Queen (Isabella) who had already
a French and an Italian trick, was jealous lest she should here taste a
Flemish one;" because she feared lest the Earl of Henault should abandon
her cause. This instance is, I think, earlier than any yet referred to.
