As the name of every individual, to whom mere gentility or any higher quality is assigned by the record, has been extracted from the long list of fourteen hundred and thirty individuals, it will be easy for the student to see from the extracted names in what degree the entire body of the Middlesex recusants consisted of persons superior to the mere commonalty of the county.
To preserve them from an erroneous inference, it may also be well to warn non-legal readers not to infer from the words "late of &c." in a recusant's description, that he had terminated his connection with the parish, to which he is said to have lately belonged. The introduction of the words "nuper de &c. = late of &c." into the description of an indicted person was instituted as a precautionary measure against a possible plea of misdescription in respect to the offender's place of abode. In ninety-nine out of every hundred cases, the indicted recusant had his abode in the place or places to which he is said to have lately belonged. The clerk, 'who kept' the one extant Indictments' Process Book temp. Charles I., 'kept' it in a very slovenly way. Sometimes he used "nuper de" in and sometimes omitted the words from his brief descriptions of recusants; but the "nuper de" always figured in the indictments drawn from the slovenly entries of what may be called the "sessional docket-book."
