    "On the 23rd of June 1626, a cod-fish was brought to Cambridge market, which, upon being opened, was found to contain a book in its maw or stomach. The book was much soiled, and covered with slime, though it had been wrapped in a piece of sail-cloth* It was a duodecimo work written by one John Frith, comprising several treatises on religious subjects. - - - The treatises contained in this book were written by Frith when in prison. Strange to say, he had been long confined in a fish cellar at Oxford, where many of his fellow-prisoners died from the impure exhalations of unsound salt fish. He was removed from thence to the Tower, and in 1533 was burned at the stake for his adherence to the reformed religion. The authorities at Cambridge reprinted the work, which had been completely forgotten, till it turned up in this strange manner. The reprint is entitled VoxPiscis, or the Book-Fish, and is adorned with a woodcut representing the stall in Cambridge market, with the fish, book, and knife. (R. Chambers: Book of Days) www.thebookofdays.com/months/june/23.htm en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Frith

    "Mrs. Mary Honeywood - - She died in the ninety-third year of her age in May 1620. She had sixteen children of her own body, seven sons and nine daughters; of which one had no issue, three died young, and the youngest was slain at Newport battle, June 20, 1600. Her grand-children in the second generation, were 114; in the third, 228; and 900 in the fourth generation. So that she could say the same that the distich doth, made of one of the Dalburg's family of Basil: 'Rise up, daughter, ang go to thy daughter, for her daughter's daughter hath a daughter.'" (W. Derham: Physico-Theology, 1773)
