Notes

Marriage

There is an old regulation of the Merchants' and Trades' Houses regarding apprentices, 'to move them to take their master's daughter in marriage before any other, which will be a great comfort and support to freemen' of which regulation, no doubt, apprentices were willing enough to avail themselves. As if the charms of the lady were not sufficient inducement, the lucky apprentice son-in-law was admitted burgess at a reduced rate.
