Resumo1. G. Harvey, Works, ed. A. B. Grosart (1884), II, 294. 2. T. Nashe, Works, ed. R. B. McKerrow (1910), II, 48. The persons mentioned by Harvey and Nashe were 'Martin Marprelate,' Henry Barrow (or Barrowe, d. 1593), Robert Browne (1550?-i633?), Francis Kett (or Ket, d. 1589), and Henry Nicholas (or Henrick Niclaes or Hendrik Niclas, fl. 1502-1580), the founder of the sect called the 'Family of Love.' 'Martin Guerra' escapes me. Neither Grosart nor McKerrow attempted to explain the meaning of 'O.K.' as applied to 'H.N.,' and the identity of the latter is given here apparently for the first time. Both the Harvey and the Nashe passages were called to my attention some years ago by the late Professor George Lyman Kittredge.
