Note 74 — [5] ENCHANTMENTS ENCOUNTER'D.

As there is more than one Batcomb in England "Judicious Bernard's" being of that Place is not much of a Guide to any looking after his Biography. Fortunately, or unfortunately for him, his Portrait was engraved, and that caused him to be noticed by Granger. His Name was Richard, and he was Pastor of "Batcombe" in Somersetshire. The Work extracted from by our Author was published in 1627. He was Author of a Concordance to the Bible, though it was not so entitled; also of a Work called the Threefold Treatise of the Sabbath, in 1641, in which Year he died. His Portrait by Hollar first appeared in this Work.—Biog. Hist. England, ii, 369. He was perhaps the Author of The Isle of Man; or the Legal Proceedings in Man-Shire against Sinne, 12mo, 1635.
