175. "_The Country Parson._" For further particulars see p. 212. Of the simplicity of this beautiful little book Canon Ainger has well said, "Not for the first or last time in our literature was it to be shown that the euphuistic tendency is killed when the writer begins to think more of his topic than himself" (Craik's _English Prose_, ii.

(1894), 204).

190. _being_, seeing. _Cf._ also p. 258.

206. _my last Will._ This, which Walton had not seen, is printed by Dr. Grosart (_Herbert's Poetical Works_, 1876, p. lxi).

207. _buried 3rd day of March, 1632._ I.e. in 1633, as the rest of the note seems to imply. He lies under the altar in the church.
