At same time, Lord Shelburne gets loose too. I know that Lord Camden, who adhered to him in these late divisions, has given him up, and gone over to the Duke of Grafton. The Bedfords are horridly frightened at all this, for fear of seeing the table they had so well covered, and at which they sat down with so good an appetite, kicked down in the scuffle. ...

In this connection we may also here refer to the Mark employed by Gerard (or Gerald) Dewes, 1562-87, whose shop was at the sign of the Swan in St. Paul's Churchyard; this is described by Camden thus: "and if you require more [i.e. ...
