"_Pro custodi_" (Weryngton mentioned by Mr. Milnes),
"_Capellæ ad montem ubi nuper comes Lancastriæ decollatus
fuit_."--Ib. p. 291.
It seems that the bodies of some of Thomas's accomplices were also
supposed to have worked miracles; for we find an ordinance--
"_Contra Fingentes miracula fieri per inimicos Regis_."
--Rym. Foed. iv. p. 20. A.D. 1323.
Andrews says (_Hist_. i. 342.) that Richard II. renewed the
application for Thomas's canonization; but he does not give his
authority, and I have not time to look further through Rymer.
p. 184. _Jhon-John_.--I wonder Mr. Williams does not see that the
_h_ is not "_introduced_" for any purpose; it is an integral
part of the original name _Johannes_, which was contracted
into _Johan_, and in French into _Jehan_.
p. 185. _Slang Phrases_.--"_A Rowland for an Oliver_" is
no slang phrase of the eighteenth century; it is a proverbial
expression as old as the days of the romances of _Roland_ and
_Olivier_. The other two were phrases put into the mouths of
two characters (Dr. Ollapod, in Colman's _Poor Gentleman_, and
Young Rapid, in Morton's _Cure for the Heart-ache_), which grew
into vogue only from the success of the actors Fawcett and Lewis,
and had no meaning or allusion beyond what the words obviously
meant.
