This bough broke in two, A.D. 1617: but the mutilated limb was still called the knights' bough, nobody knew why. So do names survive their ideas. What had not this tree seen since first it came green and tender as a cabbage above the soil, and stood at the mercy of the first hare or rabbit that should choose to cut short its frail existence!
THE LIFE AND DEATH of JOHN OF BARNEVELD, ADVOCATE OF HOLLAND By John Lothrop Motley, D.C.L., LL.D. Life and Death of John of Barneveld, v8, 1617
I counsel you to study sanctification among your tenants, and beside your husband, and among your children and your guests. Your lawful and loving pastor, in his only, only Lord, SAMUEL RUTHERFORD. 'Mr. Rutherford's letter desiring me to deny myself. Brodie's Diary. Alexander Brodie was born at Brodie in the north country in the year 1617.
He so completely persuaded Louis XIII. and Albert de Luynes, that he received orders to set out for Blois with the queen-mother, which he did on the 4th of May, 1617.
So home, and to dinner alone with my wife, who, poor wretch! sat undressed all day, till ten at night, altering and lacing of a noble petticoat: while I by her, making the boy read to me the Life of Julius Caesar, and Des Cartes' book of Musick By Rene Des Cartes, Amsterdam, 1617; rendered into English, London, 1653, 4to.
He thereupon determined to shame them by printing his book, which he did at Leyden the same year. He also published some German works upon the Rosicrucian philosophy, at Frankfort, in 1617. Poetry and Romance are deeply indebted to the Rosicrucians for many a graceful creation.
A final survey was not completed until 1617, but at that date some of the Bermuda adventurers at least had known who their tenants were and approximately where their land would lie for three full years. Whether for these or for other reasons, Bermuda grew while Virginia languished. By 1616 over 600 colonists had reached the Somers Islands, where most of them survived.
Upon his return from Cambridge his wife died, and his grief for her loss was so great, that for some time he betook himself to a retired and solitary life: Mrs. Donne died in the year 1617, on the seventh day after the birth of her twelfth child.
He had, in 1617, married the daughter of the Duke of Montbazon, and, in 1619, prevailed upon the king to have the estate of Maille raised for him to a duchy-peerage under the title of Luynes. In 1621 he procured for himself the dignity of constable, to which he had no military claim. Louis XIII. sometimes took a malicious pleasure in making fun of his favorite's cupidity and that of his following.
When he sold his interest in 1620 to his successor, the Earl of Southampton, the designation was changed from Smith's to Southampton Hundred. The initial grant was for some 80,000 acres and it was located on the north shore of the James between the Chickahominy River and the Weyanoke territory. The first settlers to come over in the venture appear to have arrived in the ship George in 1617.
