Page 349 - ... leaves resume their verdure again ; which, if we mistake not, we have also observed in furze. Whether the planting of yew in churchyards hold not its original from ancient funeral rites, or as an emblem of resurrection, from its perpetual verdure, may also admit conjecture.
Page 372 - ... a play and declaration of divers storyes of the Bible, beginning with the creation and fall of Lucifer, and ending with the generall judgment of the world, to be declared and played in the Whitsome weeke, was devised and made by one Sr.
