Abuse-not is quaint:
“1592, Sep. 17. Baptized Abuse-not, d. of Rychard Ellis.
“1592, Dec. 3. Baptized Abus-not, d. of John Collier.”—Warbleton.
The last retained her name:
“1603, Maye 20. Buried Abuse-not Collyer.”
Here, again, are two curious entries:
“1636, March 19. Baptized Be-steadfast, sonne of Thomas Elliard.
“1589, Nov. 9. Baptized Learn-wysdome, d. of Rychard Ellis.”
These also are extracts from the Warbleton registers. None of them, however, can be more strongly exhortatory than this:
“1660, April 15. Baptized Hate-evill, d. of Antony Greenhill.”—Banbury.
