Note 751 — APPENDIX VI.

Thus in the account rendered July 21st, 1588, by one churchwarden several items of the kind occur, e.g.

Item to a poore blynde man the v^th of February iij^d.

It. to a poore woman the xiiij^th of February iij^d.

It. to the poore howse at Lamporte the x^th day of November iij^d.

It. to a poore souldyour iij^d. &c.

Later the churchwardens apparently always made a payment of 5s. every half-year to the constables for lame soldiers and hospitals.
