time out of mind

But though this Kingdom of China doth often change its Lord and Name, the Chineſes however have time out of mind called it by two other particular names, as Chungchoa, and Chungque ; the firſt whereof ſignifies The Middle Kingdom ; and the other, the Middle Garden.

They were Episcopalians, and for time out of mind had rented a half-pew in the church of their denomination on California Street.
