practice, having formerly been folio %ed
by kings and mobiles. is constantly refer
fsL To rs 40 instance of the deplorab!e

lure is nor; however, inva,iable proof of
such ignorance anciently, the use rf this
mark WAS not coUiined to il.ilera,e per
sons for amongst the Saxsons the marx
oi tie cross, AS an atlestaiiOn Of the good
faith Of the person signing, WAS required
TO be attached to the signature OF those
who could write, as well rs to stand in
the pace Of the signature Of those who
could not write. In those times, If man
could write, or even read, his knowledge
was considered proof presumptive that he
was in holy orders. The word cieriems
or clerk was SYNONYMOUS with penman !;
and the iaity, or people who were not
clerks, did not feel any urgent necessity
for the use Of letters. The ancient use Of
the cross was therefore universal, alike by
:hose Who could and those who could
not write; j: was. indeed, the symbol Of
an oath from its holy associations, and
generally the marx. On this account
Mr.. Charles Knight. in his notes to the
Pictorial Shakespeare, explains the ex.
preston of'God save the mark rs a
form Of ejaculation approaching to the
character Of an oath. This phrase occurs
three or more times 10 the plays Of Shake.
