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."
