- Life of Williams; Scrinia reserata a memorial offer'd to the great deservings of John Williams, D. D., who some time held the places of Ld Keeper of the Great Seal of England, Ld Bishop of Lincoln, and Ld Archbishop of York : containing a series of the most remarkable occurences and transactions of his life, in relation both to church and state, written by John Hacket, late Lord Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry, 1693, [London] In the Savoy : Printed by Edw. Jones for Samuel Lowndes over against Exeter-Exchange in the Strand; frampold (frampul) [BKG Note: not found in this title. The Dict. etymology for frampold states: "This word is written by Dr. Hacket frampul. I know not its original." This is followed by quotes from the Merry Wives of Windsor and the Life of Williams. In SJ's edition of Shakespeare, there is a similar reference to the Life of Williams in a comment on the quoted Merry Wives passage (Yale vol. 7, p.333). In a footnote, the Yale editors state: "...attributed to Hacket's Life of Williams but actually an invention on SJ's part." The OED agrees that the origin of the word is uncertain and notes a frampoll use by Collins [Samuel] in the Defense of the Bishop of Ely (1617). Perhaps SJ got his Bishops mixed.]
