Black may be used during Lent in a number of ways. While paramaments and vestments may be purple -- the strong color over time having been "ameliorated" - made less severe -- there may even yet still be a hanging of black, as there is on the cross (not crucifix) in my Presbyterian Church in the US mid-South. Later Anglican tradition uses purple as the Lenten color as do the Catholic, Lutheran, Methodist and many Presbyterian churches.
Pss.126 [1] When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. [2] Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them. [3] The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad. [4] Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south. [5] They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. [6] He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. http://www.hti.umich.edu/cgi/k/kj…
Aye, Robert Gertz, I stand (sit, actually) corrected.
Last 8 June's entry has it: "Home, and observe my man Will to walk with his cloak flung over his shoulder, like a Ruffian, which, whether it was that he might not be seen to walk along with the footboy, I know not, but I was vexed at it"
Dirk, I agree - "John, their man" is a project, and "the sea may do him good" -- a little discipline and unrelenting hard work for one who walks (and talks) about as he pleases, perhaps with his cloak thrown over his shoulder? Oh that's Wayneman....Hmmmm....
We discussed whether this was an Index or a TOC; against our first inclinations, it seems to be the former, an Index, as L&M's Large Glossary says, as has already been pointed out.

The ecclesiastical years 1663 and 2006 compared more exactly:
This year (2006) Quinquagesima Sunday, was last Sunday, 26 February; yesterday, 1 March, was Ash Wednesday and we are now in Lent.
Lastly, "Quinquagesima is the name for the Sunday before Ash Wednesday. It was also called Quinquagesima Sunday, Shrove Sunday or Esto Mihi. The name originates from Latin *quinquagesimus* (fiftieth), referring to the fifty days before Good Friday (this calculation includes Sundays, unlike the forty-day calculation for Ash Wednesday itself)." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quin…

[3] The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.
[4] Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south.

(Wayneman's current parlous condition - and its possible remedy - were on my mind.)

I wonder how much "a dozen pair of white gloves" Sam's Valentine's size would have cost him. Surely less than 1 pound. Any ideas?

"the fellow is not supple enough to him"
-- "supple" = compliant or adaptable. Have we two men cut from the same cloth?

Doing his best, Dr. Lewis (sic) feebly forgets.
L&M note he is 71, and who knows whether he suffers from gout or ague, as many of the aged apparently did.
