Note 948 — THE ROARING GIRL.

termers] Here Reed cites a passage from Dekker’s Belman of London, concerning those rogues that “are called Termers and they ply Westminster-hall: Michaelmas Terme is their harvest:” see also my note, p. 107. I may observe, however, that termer did not always mean a person of ill repute: “with a countrey gentleman or Tearmer.” Greene’s Ghost Haunting Conicatchers, 1626, sig. D 3.
