His shirt was marked with some illegible characters, done in faded ink, which four of the jury spelled out as "James Knowlton," three others made up into "Jonas Lamson," and the remaining five declined deciphering at all.
Their great leader and chief was Assiola, sometimes called Powell, and improperly spelled Osceola, whose father was a white man and his mother a woman of the Creek Indian tribe. Among most of the tribes of Southern Indians the children took rank from the mother. He was recognized among the Indians as a Creek.
Suppose that Will merely supplied Bacon's plays, under his own name, with a slight difference in spelling, to his company.

Not one man in five hundred could have spelled his way through a psalm. The art of printing was unknown.
