Ezekiel16:31

Ver. 31. And haſt not been as an harlot in that thou ſcorneſt hire] Whore ſhould be written Hore, as coming from the word Hire; as the Latine Meretrix à Merendo. Harlot is ſaid to come of Arlet Mother to our William the Conquerour. In ſpite to whom and diſgrace to his Mother, the Engliſh called all whores Harlots; adding an aſpiration to her name, according to their manner of pronouncing.
