Amicia two sons, Almaric and Simon, the latter of whom became so chstin- guished in English liistory. The father was called Simon Ecclesiasticua on account of his zeal in the service of the papal cliurch, and to distinguish him from Simon the son. (Dugdale's Baronage, vol. i. p. T.Ol.) lie is mentioned again at pp. 372, o~ij, and vol. iii. p. 17.').
Page 359, § 18. " In principio."'] — The opening words of St. John's Gospel, tlie first ten verses of wliich transcribed were used b\' way of charm, and are so at the present day, a Roman Catholic gentleman who was drowned in his passage from Cork to England having been found with one about his person. A very early instance of it as used by our Saxon ancestors is quoted from an unpublished MS. in the Harleian Collection, by Mr. Boucher in his " Glossary of Archaic and Provincial Words," edit. London, 1833, under the word " Awvishly,"
" About these Catholikes necks and hands are always hanging Charmes,
That serve against all Miseries and all unhappie liarmes :
Amongst tlie threatening writ of Michael maketh one,
And also the beginning of the Gospel! of Saint John." (Barnaby Googe's Translation of Naogeorgus's Popish Kingdom, fol. 57C, cited in Brand's Popular Antiquities, vol. ii. p. b66.)

P.age 363, line 32. " By his advice Simon Montfort, earl of Leicester."^ — Foxe erroneously says, " and the Earl of Leicester." This Simon Montfort was the son of Simon Ecclesiasticus. (See the note on p. 356.) His contest A. D. 1226 with Reimun.l, liarl of Toulouse, for the lands of that earl, which had been given by the Pope to Simon Ecclesiasticus, is related at p. 377. His brother Almaric ceded to him his right to the earldom of Leicester, and petitioned Henry IIL a. d. 1229 to restore to this Simon the forfeited rights and honours of their father: he was accordingly made Earl of Leicester, about a. d. 1232, 16 Hen. IIL (Dugdale's Baronage, vol. i. p. 752.) His name is brought in here rather prematurely ; and, in fact, the remainder of this ])aragraph is a translation of a passage of the Continuator of M. Paris ad an. 1260, and refers to Foxe's narrative at pp. 539 — 541 of this volume. But the letter ensuing is in M. Paris ad an. 1231, and belongs to Foxe's narrative at pp.393, 394.
Page 365, line 1.]— M. Paris (p. 330) relates that Romanus went into France this same year, and then made the same request with the same arguments, and with equally' bad success. (See pp. 378 — 380 of this volume.)
