^{page i note a} “We must not forget that Spalatro (I am confident I am not mistaken therein) was the first who, professing himself a Protestant, used the word Puritan to signify the defenders of matters doctrinal in the English Church. Formerly the word was only taken to denote such as dissented from the hierarchy in discipline and church government; which now wa-s extended to brand such as were anti-Arminians in their judgments. As Spalatro first abused the word in this sense, so we could wish he had carried it away with him in his return to Home. Whereas now, leaving the word behind him in this extensive signification thereof, it hath since by others been improved to asperse the most orthodox in doctrine and religious in conversation.”—Fuller's Church Hist, book x. sec. 19.

^{page xxxvii note a} Every historical writer who has used these notes has been emphatic in their commendation as exhibiting the ability of the King and his skilfulness in debate. They were published by Lord Hardwicke (State Papers, ii. 130). It is not stated that they were written by Sir John Borough, but he was Secretary at that time to the Earl Marshal, in whose tent the meeting was held, and by whom the notes were sent to Archbishop Laud.
