People supposed to be healed by the King's touch from the disease, thence called the King's Evil. "Andrew Borde, who wrote his Introduction to Knowledge, in king's reign, states, that 'the Kinges of England, by the power that God hath gyven to them, doth make sicke men whole of a syckness called the Kynges evyll.' This extract and the entry above are sufficient to prove, were other evidence wanting, that Dr. Percy was much mistaken in supposing that 'this miraculous gift was left to be claimed by the Stuarts." Some curious matter upon this subject is collected in a note by Nichols, Literary Anecdotes, [195], II. 504, Reed, Shak. X. 243, and see 195. Amongst the Conway papers (MSS) there is an order for a proclamation, dated 13th May, 1625, to forbid the repair of people to court till Michaelmas following, to be healed of the King's Evil, and that for the future all shall bring certificates from the minister, &c. of the parish, for that many being healed, have disposed of their pieces of gold otherwise than was intended, and thereby fall into relapse.' Sir Kenelm Digby informed Mons. Moncenys, that if the person cured lost the piece of gold, the complaint immediately returned. Moncenys' Travels, t. ii. p. 20. Fabian Phillips, in his Treatise on Purveyance, asserts that the angels issued by the Kings of England on these occasions amounted to a charge of 3000l. per annum, p. [25].
