[In most works on ecclesiastical architecture it is called _lich-gate_,
from Anglo-Saxon _lich_, a corpse: hence _Lich-field_, the field of
dead bodies. In the _Glossary of Architecture_ we read "_Lich-gate_, or
corpse-gate, _leichengang_, Germ., from the Ang.-Sax. _lich_, a corpse,
and _geat_, a gate; a shed over the entrance of a churchyard, beneath
which the bearers sometimes paused when bringing a corpse for
interment. The term is also used in some parts of the country for the
path by which a corpse is usually conveyed to the church."]
_Henry Burton._--Henry Burton was born in 1579; studied at Oxford, and was
at one time minister of St. Matthew, Friday Street. In 1636, he drew upon
himself the vengeance of the Star-Chamber, by two discourses in which he
severely inveighed against the bishops. For this offence he was fined,
deprived of his ears, and sentenced to imprisonment for life. He was
liberated by {541} the parliament in 1640, and died in 1648. What
theological works did he write?--From the _Navorscher_.
