PREFACE. 
 
 IN the present Edition of Sir William Dugdale’s History of St. Paul’s Cathedral, 
 his own Continuation, as far as he had himself prepared it, has been preserved ; 
 accompanied by marginal Notes and Illustrations. 
 
 In the further Continuation of the History, the best and most authentic sources 
 of information have been resorted to; complete Lists of the Dignitaries of the 
 Church have been added; and the Appendix of Instruments greatly enlarged. 
 The Ceremonials at, and Processions to St. Paul’s, will also be found an interest¬ 
 ing appendage. 
 
 The whole of Hollar’s Plates to the first Edition, have been re-engraved with 
 care and fidelity for the present AVork: and a Vignette has been added to their 
 number, of the Church in flames in 1666, as it was engraved by Hollar in the 
 title-page of Archbishop Sancroft’s Sermon on the Great Fire; the Archbishop 
 being, at that time, Dean of St. Paul’s only. 
 
 The Plates illustrative of the present Structure will be found no unimportant 
 accession. 
 
 The “ Historical Account of the Cathedral and Collegiate Churches of York, 
 Rippon, Southwell, Beverley, Durham, and Carlisle,’’ published at the end of 
 Maynard’s Edition, have been omitted in this; because the Descriptions of the 
 first four are known to have been written by Sir Thomas Herbert, and the two 
 last are believed not to have been Dugdale's. 
 
 In returning his thanks to those by whom the present Volume has been aided, 
 the Editor feels it his duty to mention that Information of considerable use in 
 the History of the new Structure has been obtained from a Manuscript in the 
 Library at Lambeth Palace; the permission to consult which, as well as other 
 documents in that Collection, was condescendingly and liberally granted by 
 His Grace the Ahcheishop oe Canterbury. To the Dean and 
 Chapter op St. Paul’s his thanks are due, for the readiness with which 
 they permitted his inspection of the Archives in their Chapter House. The 
 Rev. Philip Bliss, of St. John’s College Oxford, communicated the Frag¬ 
 ment of Ralph de Diceto’s Survey of the Manors belonging to the Church in 
 the twelfth Century, preserved in the Bodleian Library; no copy of which 
 appears now to be remaining among the Records of the Dean and Chapter. 
 The Transcripts of the Chantry Roll and of the Deed relating to the exchange

 of lands in the time of Henry the Eighth were supplied by the kindness of 
 John Caley, Esq. Keeper of the Records in the Augmentation Office. The

LIFE 
 
 OF 
 
 SIR WILLIAM DUGDALE*. 
 
 “H E was the only son of John Dugdale, late of Shustoke, near Coles-Hill, in 
 the county of Warwick, by Elizabeth his wife, daughter of Arthur Swynfen, a 
 younger son to William Swynfen, of Swynfen in the county of Stafford, Esquire, 
 and born at Shustoke the 12th of September, anno 1605')'. 
 
 This John being the only child of James Dugdale of Cletherow, in the county 
 of Lancaster, gentleman, (which name and family had been of long continuance 
 in those parts,) had his chief education in St. John’s College, in Oxford; where 
 applying himself to the study of the Civil Law, he took the degree of Master of 
 ArlsJ; and continuing there for the space of fourteen years, was for some time 
 clerk of the accompts for that college, and also steward of their courts; in which 
 employment Mr. James Whitlockc, (afterwards a Knight, and one of the Justices 
 of the King’s Bench,) succeeded him. 
 
 During some years of his stay in that college, being tutor to William Paulet, 
 only son to the Lord Giles Paulet, younger son to William the first Marquis of 
 Winchester, of that noble family, and Lord High Treasurer of England. Upon 
 his leaving that University, and resolving to settle in the country, liking the wood¬ 
 land part of Warwickshire, where Mr. Paulet had a fair estate, he sold what he 
 had in Lancashire, and giving a large fine, took a lease from the said Mr. Paulet 
 of the impropriate rectory of Shustoke aforesaid, for the term of threescore years, 
 where finding the parsonage house ruinous, he built it all a-new. 
 
 * See Wood’s MSS. F. 30. Oil the outside, in Anthony a Wood’s hand, is written : “ Drawn up 1680. 
 Sent to me in the beginning of the year 1681, to be published by me (with other things to be added) after

 happy presage on the behalf of the babe. This accident being many years after related by Mr. M ill. 
 Dugdale to the famous figure-flinger Will. Lilly, he thereupon very readily told him, that ‘ that swarm of 
 bees did foretell that the infant should in time prove a prodigy of industry, &c.’ But the reader is to know 
 that the said Lilly told him the said William Dugdale so, after most of his industry was made publick.”

 THE LIFE OF 
 
 Fixing himself there, and marrying as aforesaid, he had only two children by 
 the said Elizabeth his wife, viz. Mary, (who became the wife of Mr. Richard 
 Seawall, son to Mr. Henry Seawall, an alderman of Coventry) and this his only 
 son William, so born at Shustoke as aforesaid. Which William had his first 
 education in grammar learning under Mr. Tho. Sibley, curate at Nether-Whitacre, 
 (near Shustoke aforesaid) until he arrived to the age of ten years and upwards; 
 afterwards under Mr. James Cranford, in the Free School at Coventry, until near 
 fifteen years of age; but then returning to his father, he received documents from 
 him, in reading Littleton’s Tenures and some other law books, and History. 
 
 His father being aged, and growing very infirm, at length, by a dead palsy in 
 his limbs, thought fit to see him married in his lifetime; whereupon he took to 
 wife Margery, the second daughter to John Huntbache of Seawall, in the county 
 of Stafford, gentleman, upon the 17th day of March 1622 (et Jacobi Regis 20). 
 After which he tabled with his wife's father until his own father died, viz. 4”. 
 Julii 1624; but soon after went to house-keeping at Fillongley (near Shustoke), 
 where he had an estate formerly purchased by his father. 
 
 In primo Caroli Primi, scil. anno 1625, he purchased the manor of Blythe, in 
 the parish of Shustoke, towards Coles-Hill. In anno 1626, he sold his estate 
 in Fillongley, and came to reside at Blythe Hall*. 
 
 His natural inclination tending chiefly to the study of antiquities, he was not 
 a little encouraged thereto by Samuel Roper, esquire, (a barrister of Lincoln’s 
 Inn,) who was much esteemed for his knowledge and abilities therein, with 
 whom (by reason he was cousin-german to Mr. Richard Seawall, who had mar¬ 
 ried his sister) he had first acquaintance about the year 1615, and with whom 
 he afterwards sometimes conversed. 
 
 After he settled at Blythe Hall, having read the description of Leicestershire, 
 written and published by Mr. William Burton of Liudley in that county, (about 
 eight miles distant from Blythe Hall,) he was introduced into his acquaintance 
 by Mr. Fisher Dilke, of Shustoke aforesaid, (a near kinsman to Mr. Burton,) 
 and by the said Mr. Burton, into the acquaintance of Sir Simon Archer of 
 Tamworth'j-, in the same county of Warwick, knight, who being very much 
 affected to antiquities, and having made some collections out of divers ancient 
 writings relating to the said county and the families thereof, did freely com¬ 
 municate to him what he had so got together, and brought him acquainted with 
 most of the gentlemen of note in the county; who being desirous, through 
 Sir Simon Archer’s incitation, to preserve the honour of their families by some 
 such public work, as Mr. Burton had done by those in Leicestershire, did 
 willingly afford him the sight of their old deeds and evidences, amongst which 
 he found none more knowing, and forward to encourage such a work, than 
 Sir Simon Clarke, of Brome Court, in the parish of Salford; who imparted to 
 him divers ancient writings of consequence, especially the leiger-book of the 
 Priory of Kenilworth.

SIR WILLIAM DUGDALE. 
 
 xi 
 
 Continuing his acquaintance with the said Sir Simon Clarke and Mr. Burton, 
 as also with Sir Simon Archer, (which began about the year 1630,) Sir Simon 
 Archer going to London with his lady in Easter Term, anno 1638, much 
 importuned Mr. Dugdale to accompany him in that journey; whereunto he 
 assenting, Sir Simon having some acquaintance with the learned Sir Henry 
 Spelman, knight, (a person famous for his knowledge in antiquities,) but then 
 near fourscore years of age, brought Mr. Dugdale to him ; who receiving him 
 with great humanity, and finding after some discourse, and sight of several 
 collections relating to the antiquities of Warwickshire, that he had made some 
 good progress in those studies, told him, that discerning he was a person so 
 much inclined to that learning, and so good a proficient therein, that he thought, 
 him very fit to serve the King in the Office of Arms; and that the most 
 noble Thomas Earl of Arundel, then Earl Marshal of England, having, by virtue 
 of that great office, the nomination of all such as were admitted into that society, 
 would esteem it a good service to the public to prefer such thereunto as were 
 thus naturally qualified, and found sedulous in those studies, ottering to recom¬ 
 mend Mr. Dugdale to his lordship for that purpose. 
 
 Which accordingly he did; whereupon he was first introduced unto that honour¬ 
 able person by Sir George Greseley, of Drakelow, in the county of Derby, 
 Bart, (who was then in London) and well known to his lordship. During the 
 stay of Mr. Dugdale then in London, waiting some times upon Sir Henry Spelman, 
 Sir Henry told him, that one Mr. Roger Dodsworth, a Yorkshire gentleman, had 
 taken much pains in search of records, and other ancient memorials, relating 
 to the antiquities of that county, but especially touching the foundations of monas¬ 
 teries there and in the northern parts of this realm, which work he did not a 
 little commend to the pains and care of some industrious and diligent searchers 
 into antiquities; affirming, that out of his own great affection thereto, in his 
 younger years he had got together the transcripts of the foundation charters of 
 divers monasteries in Norfolk and Suffolk, (himself being a Norfolk man,) much 
 importuning Mr. Dugdale to join with Mr. Dodsworth in that commendable 
 work, which by reason of his youth and forwardness to prosecute those studies, 
 might in time be brought to some perfection. 
 
 Unto which proposal Mr. Dugdale readily inclined, and within few days 
 following casually meeting with Mr. Dodsworth at the lodgings of the said 
 Mr. Samuel Roper in Lincoln’s Inn (before mentioned), and acquainting each 
 other what they were in hand with, as to their farther progress in these studies, 
 readily engaged themselves to prosecute the gaining what transcripts they could 
 obtain from any leiger-books, public records, original charters, or other manu¬ 
 scripts of note, in order thereto; but still with this reservation, that Mr. Dugdale 
 would not neglect his collections touching the Antiquities of Warwickshire, wherein 
 lie had by that time made a considerable progress. 
 
 Being thus in London, and desirous to gain acquaintance with all persons 
 there of note which stood affected to antiquities, Mr. Roper brought him to 
 Mr. Henry Lillye, an arms painter in Little Britain, who, according to that measure 
 of learning he had gained, was not a little knowing in these studies, having been 
 
THE LIFE OF 
 
 employed by divers persons of honour and quality in framing their pedigrees out 
 of original evidences, and other warrantable authorities. 
 
 Hereupon, conversing some time with Mr. Lillye, he there accidentally met 
 with one Mr. Richard Gascoigne, a Yorkshire gentleman, who also stood much 
 affected to those studies, especially as to matter of pedigree, wherein he had 
 taken some pains for divers northern families, who having great interest with 
 Sir Christopher Hatton of Kirby in the county of Northampton, Knight of the 
 Bath, (afterwards created Lord Hatton,) a person highly affected to antiquities, 
 and who had not spared for any cost in gaining sundry choice collections from 
 our public records, leiger-books, ancient charters, and divers old MSS. brought 
 Mr. Dugdale to that most worthy person, (then lodging at an apothecary's house 
 without Temple Bar,) by whom he was welcomed with all expressions of kind¬ 
 ness, with readiness to further him in these his studies. 
 
 In order whereunto he brought him acquainted with Sir Thomas Fanshaw, K. B. 
 (his near kinsman), at that time the King's Remembrancer in the Exchequer; 
 by reason of which great office he had the custody of divers leiger-books, and 
 other choice manuscripts, especially that notable record, called the Red Book; 
 as also, Testa de Nevill, Kirby's Quest, Nomina Villarum, and others; to all 
 which, by his favour, he had free access. 
 
 Nor was he less careful to obtain the like access for him to the records in the 
 Tower of London, by his interest with old Mr. Collet, the chief clerk, at that 
 time there under Sir John Burroughs, whom he amply rewarded with sundry kind 
 gratuities, for his friendliness in assisting Mr. Dugdale with what he thought 
 proper for his purpose from those rarities. 
 
 During his stay also in London, at that time, he was introduced by the 
 before-mentioned Mr. Roper into the acquaintance of Sir Thomas Cotton, Baronet, 
 son to the famous Sir Robert Colton, founder of that incomparable library in his 
 house at Westminster, of most rare and excellent manuscripts, whereby he had 
 also free access unto that matchless treasury, and made such collections thence 
 as were of singular use to him in several volumes, which have since been made 
 public by the press. 
 
 So likewise was he introduced by the said Mr. Roper into the acquaintance 
 of Mr. Scipio Squyer, then one of the Vice-Chamberlains of the Exchequer, through 
 whose kindness and favour he had access unto that venerable record called Dooms¬ 
 day Book, as also to the Fines, Plea Rolls, and sundry other records remaining in 
 the Treasury there. 
 
 Nor was Sir Christopher Hatton slack in giving him all possible encourage¬ 
 ment in those his studies. For having seconded Sir Henry Spelman, in recom¬ 
 mending him to the Earl of Arundel, that Earl sent for him in September following, 
 (anno scil. 1638,) and obtained the King's warrant to create him a Pursuivant at 
 Arms extraordinary, by the title of Blanch-Lyon, and thereupon so created him 
 at the King’s royal palace of Richmond, in Surrey, upon the 24th of that instant 
 September. 
 
 Likewise, upon the removal of Mr. Edward Walker, the Rouge-Croix Pursuivant, 
 to the office of Chester Herald, his lordship obtained His Majesty’s letters-patents 
 
SIR WILLIAM DUGDALE. 
 
 for creating him Rouge-Croix Pursuivant in ordinary, bearing date 18th of 
 March, 1639. 
 
 By which means, having a lodging in the Heralds office, and some benefit by 
 funerals and otherwise, with the yearly salary of 20/. out of the King’s Exchequer, 
 for his support, he thenceforth spent the greatest part of his time in London, in 
 order to the augmenting his collections out of those records in the Tower, and other 
 places about that city, until by the influence of a predominant party in that 
 unhappy Parliament, begun at Westminster the third of November anno 1640, 
 which, being tainted with puritanical and anti-monarchical principles, took away 
 the life of the most prudent and loyal Earl of Strafford, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland ; 
 and imprisoned the most reverend Archbishop of Canterbury, notwithstanding 
 all specious pretences of loyalty to the King, maintenance of the religion by law 
 established, liberties of the subject, and privileges of Parliament: so that by these 
 their beginnings, it was not much difficult to foresee what afterwards was accom¬ 
 plished by the grand contrivers in that most fatal convention, viz. the subversion of 
 the religion established, and unjustifiable extirpation of monarchic government, 
 whereby nothing less could be expected than the profaning of all places of God's 
 public worship, destruction of monuments in churches, and defacing whatsoever 
 was beautiful and ornamental therein. 
 
 The said Mr. Dugdalc therefore receiving encouragement from Sir Christopher 
 Hatton, before mentioned, then a member of that House of Commons, (who 
 timely foresaw the near approaching storm,) in summer, anno 1641, taking with 
 him one Mr. William Sedgwick, (a skilful arms painter,) repaired first to the 
 Cathedral of St. Paul in the City of London, and next to the Abbey Church of 
 W estminster, and there made exact draughts of all the monuments in each of 
 them, copied the epitaphs according to the very letter ; as also of all arms in 
 the windows, or cut in stone; and having so done, rode to Peterborough in 
 Northamptonshire, Ely, Norwich, Lincoln, Newark upon Trent, Beverley, South- 
 well, Kingston upon Hull, York, Selby, Chester, Litchfield, Tam worth, Warwick, 
 and did the like in all those cathedral, collegiate, conventual, and divers other 
 parochial churches, wherein any tombs or monuments were to be found, to the 
 end that the memory of them, in case of that ruin then imminent, might be 
 preserved for future and better times. 
 
 And as it was feared, so it soon fell out; all things, through the influence of 
 the predominant party in that Parliament, tending every day more and more 
 that way: insomuch as in March following, the King himself, his Queen, and 
 royal issue, forced by tumults countenanced by those great masters of mischief, 
 were constrained to betake themselves for safety to some other places ; that is 
 to say, the King, Prince, and Duke of York, unto the City of York, the 19th 
 of March 1641, and the Queen unto her own near relations in France. 
 
 His Majesty being therefore necessitated then to continue some time in those 
 northern parts, where many of the nobility attended him; having also, for his 
 better security, a special guard of the most loyal gentlemen of that county, by 
 his warrant under his royal sign manual, bearing date the first of June, 1642, 
 commanded the said Mr. Ditgdale forthwith to repair thither to him, according 
 
 d

 THE LIFE OF 
 
 to the duty of his place; who thereupon did so, and there continued, till about 
 the midst of July that he received his Majesty’s farther command to attend 
 the Right Hon. Spencer Earl of Northampton, then Lord Lieutenant of the 
 county of Warwick, where his Lordship was, by his Majesty’s special commission 
 under the great seal of England, to array and arm all persons able, and of 
 strength sufficient for the preservation of the peace of this realm. 
 
 In obedience whereunto he attended that Earl to the borough of Warwick, 
 and divers other places in that county, where many of the trained-band soldiers, 
 and other loyal persons, came with horse and arms accordingly: but the predo¬ 
 minant party, which then sat at Westminster, machinating the destruction of 
 monarchic government, and advancing themselves into all places of power and 
 profit, most falsely suggesting to the people that the King had a design to 
 subvert the religion by law established and to govern by an arbitrary power, raised 
 great forces throughout all parts of the realm, under colour of defending the 
 same, making garrisons in sundry places of strength; and amongst others, sent 
 many soldiers with arms and ammunition into the castles of Banbury in Oxford¬ 
 shire, and Warwick, commanded chiefly by Robert Lord Brooke, one of their 
 then greatest confidents, to the great affrightment of the people in those parts. 
 
 The Earl of Northampton therefore discerning in what danger the county of 
 Warwick then was, and advertising his Majesty thereof, procured his special 
 warrant, bearing date at York the 4th of August 1642, and directed to the said 
 Mr. Dugdale, commanding him forthwith, according to the duty of his place, to 
 repair to those castles of Banbury and Warwick, and to require the said Lord 
 Brooke and his adherents to lay down all their forces, as well horse as foot, 
 and to deliver up all their arms and ammunition to the commissioners of array 
 and such others as by his Majesty were then authorized for that purpose; as 
 also to disperse themselves, and return to their respective homes; and in case 
 of refusal, to proclaim them traitors against his said Majesty, his crown and 
 dignity. 
 
 All which being performed by the said Mr. Dugdale in his coat of arms, 
 with trumpets sounding before him, the castle of Banbury, with all the arms 
 and ammunition therein, was delivered up accordingly; but the castle of War¬ 
 wick being a fort of far more strength, and defended by a greater number of 
 soldiers, under the command of Sir Edward Peto of Chesterton in that county, 
 knight, most rebelliously contemned this summons: Sir Edward alleging that 
 he was intrusted therewith by the Parliament, and would defend it accordingly. 
 Whereupon he, and all his adherents there, were proclaimed traitors at the castle 
 gates, by the said Mr. Dugdale, in pursuance of his said Majesty’s warrant. 
 
 That those rebels were by this time grown thus obstinate it was no wonder, 
 having captivated the people with their most bold and false suggestions of his 
 Majesty’s purpose to enslave them by an arbitrary power, and pretending what 
 glorious assertors they would be of the laws and liberties of the subject; so that 
 in every part of the realm they allured numbers of people to their party, and 
 raised a powerful army under the command of Robert, then Earl of Essex, 
 which being discerned by the King, he erected his royal standard at Notting- 
 
SIR WILLIAM DUGDALE.

 ham upon the 12th of August, whereunto very many worthy men most loyally 
 resorted. 
 
 Soon after which, divers armed forces rebelliously possessing themselves of several 
 other strong castles and towns in other parts of the realm, amongst which the 
 city of Coventry was one of the first, (through the aid of many sectaries and 
 schismatics,) which flocked unto them with arms and ammunition, especially from 
 the populous town of Bermichham, relying much upon the security of that place, 
 (by reason of the strength of its walls,) his Majesty upon advertisement thereof 
 marched up from York with some troops of horse, commanded by Sir John Byron, 
 and coming to Stoneley-House, (about four miles distant from Coventry,) by his 
 special warrant, bearing date the 20th of August, commanded the said Mr. Duo-dale 
 to summon that city, and to require all such persons as were there in arms to 
 deliver them up to whom his Majesty had then authorized to receive them, and 
 to depart -peaceably to their own homes; but in case of refusal to proclaim them 
 traitors against his said Majesty, his crown, and dignity. 
 
 All which, upon their obstinacy thereto, was accordingly performed by the said 
 Mr. Dugdale. 
 
 During the King’s slay at Stoneley, the City of Coventry continuing still rebel¬ 
 lious, Warwick Castle also being manned by the Lord Brooke, (as hath been 
 observed,) his Majesty, upon his return to Nottingham, placed two companies of 
 foot and one of dragoons in his castle of Kenilworth, (the strongest fort in all 
 the midland parts,) lying in the mid-way betwixt Coventry and Warwick : but 
 within few days after, having intelligence that the power of the rebels in that 
 county did daily increase, and fearing that those soldiers thus put into Kenil¬ 
 worth Castle might be distressed by a siege, he sent two troops of horse and 
 one of dragoons, to fetch off those men, with their arms and ammunition ; and 
 because he knew the said Mr. Dugdale to be well acquainted with the roads and 
 ways in that county, appointed him to accompany Sir Richard Willys, who 
 commanded that party, as his guide, purposing to bring them off as privately 
 as might be. 
 
 To which end they, marching from Mount-Sorrell in Leicestershire on the 
 Sunday morning, they came about ten of the clock that night to Kenilworth, 
 and, though they made such haste in getting carriages for their ammunition, as 
 that they marched out of that castle by seven of the clock the next morning, 
 nevertheless, by intelligence given to the rebels in Coventry, such numbers of 
 those with horse and foot pursued them, that they were constrained to make 
 a stop in Cudworth-field (two miles northward of Coles-Hill) and to encounter 
 them ; where they charged the rebels (though five to one in number,) so stoutly, 
 that they put them to the rout, and took some of them prisoners, whom they 
 brought that night to Tamworth, and the next day to Tutbury Castle: the said 
 Mr. Dugdale hasting immediately to Nottingham to acquaint the King therewith. 
 
 Being thus got safe to Tutbury, they marched to those forces which His 
 Majesty had raised at Nottingham, and then (viz. about the 12th of September) 
 passed towards Shrewsbury, unto which place the said Mr. Dugdale gave attend¬ 
 ance on his Majesty; and thence (after the completing of his army there) to 
 
XVI 
 
 THE LIFE OF 
 
 the battle of Kineton, (commonly called Edge-Hill Battle,) 23°. Octobris, so to 
 Oxford ; thence to Reading and Brainford, his Majesty purposing for London ; 
 but finding the power of the rebels so much recruited by the citizens of that 
 populous place, after some skirmishes near Brainford, where his Majesty took 
 many prisoners, lie returned to Oxford, and there fixed his chief residence, forti¬ 
 fying that city with outworks for the better security thereof. 
 
 Oxford therefore being thus made the chief garrison, where his Majesty’s great 
 officers, viz. Lord-Keeper, Lord-Treasurer, &c. and Council of State, kept their 
 residence, the said Mr. Dugdale settling there, was admitted Master of Arts, 
 1 Nov. 1642 (as by letters testimonial under the Vice-Chancellor’s seal appeareth); 
 and having taken notice of the most remarkable passages in that battle, that the 
 relation of all particulars might be better understood, in February next ensuing, 
 being accompanied with some gentlemen of note, taking with them a skilful 
 surveyor, he rode to Banbury, (the castle there being then his Majesty’s garrison,) 
 and thence to the field where the battle was fought, which he surveyed exactly, 
 noting where each army was drawn up, how the cannon placed, and the graves 
 where the slain were buried; observing from the relation of the neighbouring 
 inhabitants, the certain number which lay buried in each grave, which in the whole 
 did not amount to full one thousand, though the report of the vulgar made them 
 at least five thousand. 
 
 Whence returning to Oxford, and there, by his Majesty’s command, continuing 
 until the render of that garrison to the rebels, about the 26th of June 1646, 
 (which wanted not four months of four years, his estate in the country being 
 sequestered all that time,) he there performed such service in attending the funerals 
 of several noble persons, and others of great quality, (some of which were slain 
 in those wars,) as belonged to the duty of his office; and upon the death of 
 Sir John Burroughs, knight, then Garter Principal King of Arms, (who there 
 departed this life upon the 21st of October 1643,) Sir Henry St. George, knight, 
 then Norroy King of Arms, being advanced to the office of Garter, and Edward 
 Walker, esq. then Chester Herald, made Norroy, the said Mr. Dugdale was, by 
 
 letters patents bearing date at Oxford aforesaid, 16 ° Aprilis 1644, (20 Car. I.) 
 
 created Chester Herald. 
 
 Continuing all that time in Oxford, he thence took a journey to Worcester in 
 anno 1644, within which diocese the southern parts of the county of Warwick 
 lie, where having perusal of the registers both of the Bishop and Dean and Chapter, 
 he thence extracted the like collections, in order to his historical work of War¬ 
 wickshire, (afterwards made public by the press,) as he had done at Litchfield, 
 within which diocese the rest of the said county is, as by his quotations in that 
 volume are to be seen. 
 
 And having sufficient leisure, during that long time he so continued in Oxford, 
 
 applied himself to the search of such antiquities as were to be found in the 
 
 famous Bodleian Library, as also in the libraries of the colleges, and in private 
 hands, as he thought might any way conduce to the furtherance of the work

 to the nobility of this realm; in which he found very much for that purpose, 
 whereof he made great use in those volumes entitled “ The Baronage of Eng¬ 
 land," since published. 
 
 But the rebels, at length prevailing through the aid of the Scots, who made 
 a second invasion hither with a powerful army, whereupon the garrison of Oxford 
 was delivered up unto them upon articles in June 1646, the said Mr. Dugdale 
 having Lhe benefit of those articles, repaired to London, and there made his 
 composition at Goldsmiths-Hall *. 
 
 After which, having proceeded very far in gathering materials for his designed 
 work of Warwickshire, he repaired again to London to the public records in 
 the lower and other places, and there perfected his collection touching the 
 antiquities of that county, long before begun, as hath been observed. Where, 
 happening to meet with Mr. Dodsworth, he told him how he had bestowed his time 
 in Oxford, and elsewhere, by gaining materials in order to that noble work of the 
 Monasteries, Mr. Dodsworth imparting the like to him; whereby Mr. Dugdale 
 discerned that Mr. Dodsworth had transcribed many foundation charters, and other 
 grants of consequence, relating to the monasteries of Yorkshire and some other 
 northern counties, which he copied for the most part from the originals remaining 
 in sundry large chests deposited in St. Mary’s Tower at York. 
 
 After which, Mr. Dugdale waiting on the Lady Hatton to Calais, in May 1648, 
 there to meet with the Lord Hatton (her husband) from Paris, he went back with 
 that Lord thither, and making stay there near three months, through the favour of 
 Mr. Erancis du Chesne, (son to the learned Andrew du Chesne deceased) had a 
 view of divers excellent collections, made by the said Andrew, relating to divers 
 monasteries in France, Normandy, and other parts of that realm: amongst which 
 discovering several things of note, touching divers religious houses in England, 
 called Priories-Aliens, (which had been cells to sundry great abbics in foreign parts,) 
 he took copies of them, of which he made good use in those volumes called Monas- 
 ticon Anglicanum, afterwards published; and then returned to England, having 
 letters of safe conduct under the sign manual and signet of the then Queen of Eng¬ 
 land, (Henrietta-Maria,) bearing date at St. Germans en Laye, upon the 3d of 
 August. 
 
 This so fair a collection, got together by Mr. Dodsworth, as hath been observed, 
 considering what Mr. Dugdale had gathered out of sundry leiger-books and other 
 authentic MSS. at Oxford, encouraging them to proceed in perfecting the work, 
 they then resolved to go to the records in the Tower of London, from which making 
 a thorough search, they took copies of all they deemed most material for the same. 
 And having so done, Sir Thomas Cotton gave them the free liberty of his incom¬ 
 parable library at Westminster, wherein a multitude of leiger-books, obtained by the 
 care and cost of his worthy father, were then kept. 
 
 This being accomplished, and discovering there many bundles of papers of state, 
 which were original letters, and other choice memorials obtained by Sir Robert 
 Colton from sundry hands, some whereof were the transactions betwixt Cardinal 
 
 * “ For .£168. as it appears in the books belonging to the office there.” A. W. 
 
THE LIFE OF

 Wolsey, Cromwell, (afterwards Earl of Essex,) Secretary Paget, Cecill Lord 
 Burleigh, Secretary Walsingham, and others, relating as well to foreign as domestic 
 affairs, as also the letters and papers of Mary Queen of Scots, Thomas Duke of 
 Norfolk, and several other eminent persons in those times, the said Mr. Dugdale 
 sorted them methodically, both as to time and otherwise, and caused them to be 
 bound up with clasps, and Sir Thomas Cotton's arms stamped in gold on each 
 side of every book; all which amounted to more than fourscore volumes, by which 
 means they are now made useful to all lovers of historical learning. 
 
 The Collections for the two volumes of the Monastery foundations, entitled 
 Monasticon Anglicanum, being thus completed, and the publishing of them by 
 the press desired, an offer was made to several booksellers of the copies, upon 
 such indifferent terms as might have defrayed the charge of those transcripts, so 
 made from records and otherwise, as hath been observed; but the booksellers not 
 willing to adventure thereon, Mr. Dodsworth and Mr. Dugdale joined together, 
 and hired several sums of money to defray the cost and expense thereof; the 
 care of which work, as to the printing, lay totally on Mr. Dugdale, by reason 
 that Mr. Dodsworth died in Lancashire, about the midst of August anno 1654, 
 before the tenth part of the first volume came off from the press*. 
 
 That first volume being finished in anno 1655 j-, a stop was made for some 
 years of bringing the other to the press, until the greatest part of that impres¬ 
 sion was sold off, whereby money might be had to go on therewith. Mr. Dugdale 
 therefore having with no small pains and charge finished his collections in order 
 to his designed Historical work of Warwickshire Antiquities, and at length per¬ 
 fected the frame thereof, was at the whole charge of printing and paper for 
 publishing the same; and staid in London to correct the press himself, by 
 reason that the ordinary correctors were not at all skilled in the pedigrees, which 
 book was finished and exposed to sale in anno 1656 f. 
 
 * In Maynard’s account of Sir William Dugdale, it is expressly stated that Lord Fairfax allowed 
 Mr. Dodsworth an annuity of «£40. a year for his life in support of the publication of the work: and 
 that Rushworth, then Lord Fairfax’s secretary, through the influence he at that time had upon those who 
 kept the Records in the Tower of London, procured both for Mr. Dodsworth and Mr. Dugdale free 
 access unto them, with liberty to make transcripts of whatsoever might relate to the Collection, without 
 the payment of any fees.

 mented, and continued by William Thomas, D. D. was printed at London in 1730: accompanied by Maps 
 of the County and the several Hundreds, beside additional Plates ; among which last are four Monu¬ 
 ments of the Dugdale family in Shustoke Church, including that of Sir William, with a View of 
 Blythe Hall. Another edition, carefully copied, without the least alteration, from the first of 1656, 
 with the Maps of the County and Hundreds, and a whole sheet view ot Blythe Hall, was published 
 at Coventry in 1765. 
 
SIR WILLIAM DUG DALE.

 In the time of this his lodging in London, meeting casually with Mr. Reading, 
 a Northamptonshire gentleman, who had been clerk of the Nisi-Prius for the 
 midland circuit, (and with whom he had been formerly acquainted,) he friendly 
 invited Mr. Dugdale to his house at Scriveners Hall near Silver-street, promis¬ 
 ing to show him divers old manuscripts, original charters, and other ancient 
 writings; who coming thither accordingly, he brought forth five ancient manu¬ 
 scripts in folio, which were chartularies of the lordships and lands first given 
 to the Cathedral Church of St. Paul’s in London, freely lending them to him 
 into the country till Michaelmas Term ensuing, promising him the use of many 
 more upon his next return to London. 
 
 But in Michaelmas Term, after Mr. Dugdale had extracted what he thought fit 
 out of those books as to any historical use, when he came to restore those so lent 
 he found Mr. Reading was dead, and had constituted one Mr. Williams (a bar¬ 
 rister of the Temple) his executor. Addressing himself therefore to Mr. Williams, 
 and desiring a sight of the rest, he brought him to Scriveners Hall, and there 
 shewed him many other manuscript books, original charters, old rolls, and other 
 very ancient writings in bags and hampers, all relating to that great Cathedral, 
 and freely lent them to him to be carried to his own lodging, which amounted 
 to no less than ten porters burdens. 
 
 Having them therefore thus in his private custody, and bestowing pains to sort 
 them into order, he made also extracts from them, of what he found historical 
 in reference to that Church. And to the end that the memory of those many 
 ancient monuments, which were afterwards utterly destroyed, (the Church being 
 made an horse-garrison by the late rebellious usurpers,) did by the help and 
 favour of sundry worthy persons, who voluntarily offered to be at the charge 
 of the plates, in which the representations of them were cut in brass, as also the 
 prospects of that whole fabric, (inside and outside,) accomplish the same; and 
 having succinctly framed an historical narrative of the first foundation and endow¬ 
 ment thereof, as also of all the chantries, and what else was most memorable 
 therein or relating thereto, made it public by the press in anno 1658*. 
 
 But as the longest day hath its evening, so did it at last please God to put 
 a period to the tyranny of those late grand usurpers, by the little less than 
 miraculous restoration of our present Sovereign King Charles the Second, in the 
 year 1660, which was about twelve years after the most execrable murder of 
 his royal father of blessed memory. 
 
 So soon therefore as those who were of greatest trust with our present Sove¬ 
 reign, (then beyond sea,) discerned by their intelligence from hence in what 
 distraction those usurpers were, and how that almost all people were weary of 
 their oppressions, so that the time of his Majesty's most happy return drew 
 nigh, to prevent the importunity of others, who aimed at the office of Norroy

 out of Originall Charters, Records, Leiger-Books, and other Manuscripts. Beautified with sundry 
 Prospects of the Church, Figures of Tombes, and Monuments.” fol. Lond. 1658. A second edition, in 
 which five ol the old Plates which had been lost in the Fire of London, were re-engraved, was pub, 
 lislied by Edward Maynard, D. D. Rector of Boddington in Northamptonshire, fol. Lond. 1716.

 THE LIFE OF

 who died in his late Majesty’s garrison at Oxford 5 Nov. 1644,) Sir Edward 
 Hyde, knight, then Lord Chancellor, and afterwards Earl of Clarendon, having 
 seen the Illustration of Warwickshire Antiquities, and first volume of the Monas- 
 ticon Anglicanum, moving the King on the behalf of the said Mr. Dugdale for 
 that place and office of Norroy, readily obtained it, with a special warrant under 
 the royal signet, to prepare a patent for the same; which patent, after his Majesty’s 
 return, passed the great seal accordingly upon the 18th day of June anno 1660, 
 12 Car. II. the second volume of the Monasticon being then in the press, and 
 published the next year, anno 1661*. 
 
 So likewise his historical work of Imbanking and Draining the Fens and 
 Marshes of this kingdom, (adorned with sundry exact maps of the parts and 
 places so drained,) deduced out of public records and ancient manuscripts, at 
 the instance of the Lord Gorges, and others who were the principal adventurers 
 in that costly and laudable undertaking for draining the great Level, extending 
 into a considerable part of the counties of Cambridge, Huntingdon, Northampton, 
 Norfolk, and Suffolk, which came out the next ensuing year, anno scil. 1662-j-. 
 
 After which, having in his many years labours in search of records for those 
 works already published, perused the notes he had taken of the Lord Chancellors, 
 Lord Treasurers, Masters of the Rolls, Judges of all the Courts in Westminster 
 Hall, Kings Attorneys and Solicitors, as also of the Serjeants at Law, Courts 
 of Justice, and Inns of Court and Chancery, for students in that excellent pro¬ 
 fession, he compiled that historical work intituled Origines Juridiciales, adorned 
 with exact cuts in copper-plates of the arms in the windows throughout all the 
 Inns of Court, and Serjeants Inns, which was made public by the press in 
 anno 1666 J.

 collection, begun by the learned Sir Henry Spelman, for his intended second 
 volume of The Provincial Councils here in England, he making diligent search 
 for what materials might be got either out of the incomparable Cottonian library, 
 or otherwise, did make transcripts of them, and methodized the same for the 
 press, the volume amounting to two hundred sheets in folio: all whereof, except 
 fifty-seven, were totally of his the said Mr. Dugdale’s collection. 
 
 So likewise for the whole Glossary of that learned knight, whereof the manu¬ 
 script copy, in Sir Henry's own hand, was not at all fitted for the press, much 
 of it being loosely written, and on sundry bits of paper, he took pains to dispose 
 thereof into proper order, by transcribing many of those loose papers, marking 
 such parts of it for difference in the character as needed, and then brought it 
 to the press. Both which volumes were made public about the same year 1666*. 
 
 Having likewise in the course of his collections formerly made at Oxford, in 
 the time of the rebellion, extracted from sundry choice manuscripts divers special 
 notes relating to the ancient nobility of this realm, and not being ignorant that 
 those volumes of the Monasticon would yield many excellent materials of that 
 kind, he then became encouraged to go to the Tower of London, Exchequer, 
 Office of the Rolls in Chancery-Lane, (which were the chief treasuries of records,) 
 as also the Archbishop's Principal Register, and Register of the Prerogative-Court 
 of Canterbury of wills and testaments, dispensations for marriages, &c. whence, 
 and out of sundry manuscripts in private hands, monumental inscriptions, and 
 other authorities, which after the great part of thirty years labour he had got 
 together, he at length compiled that large work, intituled, The Baronage of 
 England ff. 
 
 In making which collections, he omitted nothing of consequence which related 
 to the foundation and endowments of the cathedral and collegiate churches of 
 England and Wales, consisting of secular canons, as also of what else he could 
 observe concerning those monasteries that were already published, to the end 
 that use might be made of them as additaments to those volumes. And, in the 
 year 1673, published all those additaments, together with what he had so gathered 
 for those cathedral and collegiate churches before specified: but these volumes 
 of the Baronage hanging long at the press, came not out till the years 1675 
 and 1676.

 THE LIFE OF 
 
 Towards the end of which last mentioned year, 1676, Sir Edward Walker, 
 Garter Principal King of Arms, departing this life, the said Mr. Dugdale being 
 then at his house in Warwickshire, much dispute grew betwixt the Right lion. 
 Henry, then Earl of Norwich, (now Duke of Norfolk,) as Earl-Marshal of 
 England, and the King, for nomination of the person unto whom his Majesty 
 should, by his letters-patents, make a grant of that office: the Chancellor of the 
 Garter, on the King’s behalf, as sovereign of that most noble order, strenuously 
 insisting upon his Majesty’s right to nominate, by reason that the said office of 
 Garter was an employment mostly belonging to that order, and chiefly for 
 attending at all installations and festivals, and performing other services unto the 
 Sovereign and Knights Companions thereof. 
 
 The Earl on his pari, as Earl-Marshal and chief superintendant of the office 
 and officers of arms, pleading the usage of his predecessors in that honourable 
 office of Earl-Marshal to nominate and recommend to the King, upon the death 
 or vacancy of any King of Arms, Herald, or Pursuivant, such person and persons 
 to supply the place as he should think most lit and most properly qualified for 
 that service. 
 
 In which contest, one Sir William Haward, knight, (a person well accomplished 
 with learning, especially in points of honour and arms,) having obtained the favour 
 of di vers great men to move his Majesty on his behalf, so that the King did 
 much incline to him ; and the Earl of Norwich on the other part, accounting it 
 no little derogation to his office of Earl-Marshal to be refused the like privilege 
 as his predecessors in that great place had been permitted to enjoy; for which 
 he produced some late precedents, acknowledging though he had nothing to do 
 as to any superintendency over him as an officer of the Garter, yet as Garter 
 was principal King of Arms, he was subordinate to his authority. Having upon 
 this great dispute obtained the favour of the Duke of York to his Majesty on 
 his behalf, the King at length asked him whom he had a desire to nominate 
 and recommend? who presently answered Mr. Dugdale, (though 'tis well known 
 he had another person in his eye*, against whom such exceptions might have 
 been justly taken, as that he would have failed of his wish had he stuck to 
 
 “ as had their rise from the tenth year of King Richard the Second until the year 1676.” fol. 
 Lond. 1676 . 
 
 In a Letter to Anthony a Wood, preserved among Ballard’s Manuscripts in the Bodleian Library, 
 dated Aug. 23d, 1(377, Dugdale says: “ As to the reprinting of my Baronage, I believe the Booke- 
 sellers (unto whom I have disposed of the Copie) will do it ere long; for the last Terme they 
 acknowledged to me, that they had but a few of the Bookes unsold. What corrections or material! 
 additions either you or Mr. Sheldon can helpe me to, will be very acceptable to me; and therefore 
 I shall take it for a great favour that you will go in hand with gathering them together.” 
 
 Wood’s Additions to and Corrections of the Baronage, as communicated to Dugdale, are still 
 preserved in the Ashmolean Museum at Oxford, num. 126 See Cat. MSS. Anglia?, 8505. Another 
 Copy will be found, MS. Harl. Brit. Mus. num. 1056 . 
 
 Dugdale’s own Copy of the Baronage, with marginal and other Additions, is in Mr. Gough’s 
 Collection at Oxford: with another Copy containing Peter Le Neve’s and Mr. Gough’s Notes. A 
 third Copy, with numerous notes and additions in Anstis’s hand-writing, was presented by Mr. Gough 
 in 1797 to the editor of the present Work.

 him,) his Majesty immediately replied, ‘ Nay, then I am content.’ Whereupon 
 the Earl-Marshal caused his secretary to advertise Mr. Dugdale thereof by the 
 post that night, and earnestly to press his speedy coming up to London, he 
 then being at his house in Warwickshire. 
 
 Which news not a little surprising him, by reason he was so far from any 
 thought thereof, that upon some letters from certain honourable persons imme¬ 
 diately ensuing Sir Edward Walker’s death, earnestly importuning his speedy 
 repair to London in order to his obtaining that office, (which, as he was the next 
 King of Arms, to whom it properly belonged, and the most ancient officer in 
 that College of Arms then living by above twenty years than any other, none 
 could pretend to so fair a claim,) he excused himself in respect of his age. 
 
 But alter serious consideration what to resolve on therein, having a far greater 
 desire to wave it than otherwise, he grew fearful that his Majesty, so readily 
 assenting to the Earl-Marshal’s nomination of him, should not take it well in 
 case he did refuse what was so intended him as a favour: and doubting also 
 the Earl-Marshal’s displeasure for not complying with him therein, at length 
 concluded with himself it was by God Almighty’s disposal thus cast upon him, 
 (whose great and wonderful providence extendeth to the very least of all human 
 actions,) he at last resolved to accept it, and within a few days after repaired 
 to London accordingly, being welcomed by the Earl-Marshal with many noble 
 expressions for his ready acceptance of his lordship’s favour herein. 
 
 Whereupon he passed his paLent for this office of Garter upon the 26th of April, 
 anno 1677, and afterwards, scilicet on Thursday the 24th of May, (being Ascen¬ 
 sion-Day,) was solemnly created into the said office at the College of Arms by 
 the Earl of Peterborough, who then exercised the office of Earl-Marshal as 
 deputy to the Earl of Norwich, by virtue of his Majesty's immediate warrant 
 to that purpose, and the day following (being Friday the 25th of May) being 
 brought before the King in the Old Bed-Chamber at White-Hall by the Earl- 
 Marshal, received the honour of knighthood, (much against his will by reason 
 of his small estate,) at which time his Majesty put the badge of the order, hung 
 in a gold chain (usually worn by Garter King of Arms), about his neck. 
 
 After which, viz. upon the first day of June next ensuing, in a solemn Chapter 
 held by the Sovereign, and certain of the Knights-Companions of that most noble 
 order, in the Red-Room at White-Hall, he took his oath as Garter Principal King 
 of Arms, and one of the officers of that order, kneeling on the King’s left hand, 
 which was administered to him by the Bishop of Salisbury, as Chancellor of the 
 Garter. 
 
 As to the exercise of his office of Norroy, when he was provincial King of 
 Arms for the northern parts of this realm, the books of his visitations of the 
 several counties under his charge, remaining in the Office of Arms, will suffi¬ 
 ciently manifest his care therein, viz. by taking exact notice of all collaterals, 
 that is to say, uncles, aunts, brothers, and sisters, in the descents then drawn: 
 and publicly disclaiming all such as took upon them the titles of esquire or 
 gentleman without just right, and truly registering the arms of all such as could 
 show any justifiable right thereto.

 THE LIFE OF 
 
 As also in defacing such tablets of arms as lie found in any public places 
 which were fictitious; and pulling down several atchievements irregularly and 
 against the law of arms hung up in any churches or chapels within the precincts 
 of his province; the particulars whereof are expressed in that large book in 
 the Office of Arms covered with russet leather, and called The Earl-Marshal's 
 Book. 
 
 And farther, to vindicate the just rights of his said office, he commenced a 
 suit at the common law against one Randal Holme, a painter in the City of 
 Chester, who had boldly invaded the office of him the said Norroy, by preparing 
 atchievements for the funeral of Sir Ralph Ashton of Middleton, in the county 
 of Lancaster, knight, and giving directions for a formal proceeding at the solem¬ 
 nity thereof; whereupon he had a verdict against him the said Holme, at the 
 general assizes held at Stafford in March anno 1667, and recovered good damages, 
 with costs of suit*. 
 
 The printed books by him given to the Ilerald’s-Office have been these, viz. 
 His Illustration of the Antiquities of Warwickshire. Three volumes of the 
 Monasticon Anglicanum. His History of St. Paul’s Cathedral. His History of 
 Imbanking and Draining the Penns. His book entituled Origines Juridiciales. 
 And his two volumes of the Baronage of England. 
 
 Of manuscripts these; one large volume of the arms and monuments in the 
 Cathedral at York, and divers other places in that county, lively tricked out 
 with a pen, with their respective epitaphs copied out in the very letter. 
 
 Another volume, containing a transcript of three old visitations, which are not 
 in the Herald’s-Office, viz. of Lancashire, in King Ilenry VIII’s time; Stafford¬ 
 shire, in Queen Elizabeth’s time; and Northumberland, in the time of King 
 James. 
 
 Another covered with vellum, marked L. 12. containing arms in colours of 
 foreign kings and princes, British kings, ancient English nobility, with their 
 crests, supporters, and badges ; as also the arms of the Scotch and Irish nobility, 
 the arms of the Herald’s-Office, and of the three Kings of Anns; likewise badges of 
 divers noblemen, with several other things of note, and pedigrees of divers families. 
 
 By his procurement were also all those manuscript books, (divers of which 
 are copies or extracts from public records,) given to the Herald’s-Office by 
 Tho. Povey, esq. now one of the Masters of the Requests. 
 
 As also all those manuscript books, and printed books (in the press on the 
 left hand the chimney,) and relating to History and Genealogy, which were likewise 
 bestowed on the said office by Henry now Duke of Norfolk, in anno 1678 f. 
 
 * The Life, as printed by Maynard, adds here, “ Divers atchievements also set up in sundry churches 
 within his said province of Norroy, contrary to the laws of arms, by the said Holme the painter, 
 he pulled down and defaced, viz. in the City of Chester, at Budworth, Nether-Pever, Hooton in 
 Wirrall, (all in Cheshire,) Biddulph in Staffordshire, as also at Chirke in North-Wales; and likewise 
 defaced many fictitious arms which he found engraved on tomb-stones at Newcastle upon Tine in 
 Northumberland, of all which particulars mention is made in the said register-book, called the Earl- 
 Marshal’s Book.”

 following is Maynard’s continuation of it. 
 
 After all this it must not be forgotten, that the said Mr. Dugdale having taken 
 special notice of the rise, growth, and fatal issue of the late horrid rebellion, 
 begun by the Scots in anno 1639, and afterwards prosecuted by the English, 
 through the influence of a malevolent party in the late Long Parliament of 
 King Charles I. which began at Westminster 3d November 1640, of which he 
 did compose a succinct History in folio, extending the same unto the happy 
 Restoration of our present Sovereign King Charles II. anno scil. 1660, which 
 he did never design to be made public by the press whilst he lived, was, at 
 the importunity of some honourable persons, (who thought the publishing of it 
 sooner very seasonable,) prevailed with to print it at Oxford in anno 1681 -f. 
 
 Since which, scil. in anno 1682, he hath also published a brief discourse in 
 octavo, entituled, The Ancient Usage in Bearing of Arms, printed likewise at

 Edward Walker, and by him given to the Herald’s Office. The MS. is still extant in private

 THE LIFE OF 
 
 Oxford*; unto which he hath annexed a Catalogue of the English Nobility and 
 Bishops; as also of the Baronets from the first rise of that dignity, in 9 Jacobi 
 Regis, to that present year-J. 
 
 Besides these already published, he had made ready for the press, Choice Col¬ 
 lections from our publick Records of all Summons to Parliament of the Nobility, 
 beginning with that in 49 Hen. III. and extending to that begun at Oxford, 
 21 Martii 1680, and made publick by the press in anno 1685J. 
 
 Also a short Historical Account of such Marks and Ensigns of Honour as 
 are commonly called Arms, shewing their Original, True Use, and the Ancient 
 Practice in bearing them. Whereunto are added certain brief Observations touch¬ 
 ing the Antiquity of Heralds, their Imployments, Rights, Privileges, and Succession, 
 deduced from sundry authentick Memorials, and other authorities. 
 
 Besides his Historical Discourse of the Ancient Family of Hastings,' Earls of 
 Huntingdon, already published in the first volume of the Baronage of England, 
 he composed a far more large history of that honourable family, from the authority 
 of public records, and a multitude of charters and evidences in the custody of 
 Theophilus, now Earl of Huntingdon. 
 
 The like for the family of Manners, Earl of Rutland; as also of the ancient 
 Lords of the Honour of Belvoir (their principal seat); so likewise of the Vernons, 
 and other more ancient Lords of that great Manor of Haddon, in the Peak 
 of Derbyshire, the present inheritance of John Earl of Rutland; but the papers 
 are not yet delivered to them. 
 
 Unto sixty fair volumes of elaborate Collections from Records, by the late 
 learned and industrious Antiquary Sir Jo. Knivcton, (now in the custody of 
 Christopher Lord Hatton,) he made perfect Indexes, referring the names of all

 a Catalogue of the present Nobility of England. To which is added a Catalogue of the present 
 Nobility of Scotland and Ireland, &c.” 8°. Oxf. 1682. A second edition, corrected, was also published 
 at Oxford in the same year. A third edition has been since published under the following title, 
 « The antient Usage in bearing of such Ensigns of Honour as are commonly called Arms, by 
 Sir William Dugdale Kn*. with Additions; containing a short Introduction to the Science of Heraldry, 
 and Art of Emblazonry. To which is added a brief Discourse touching the Office of Lord High 
 Chancellor of England, also by Sir William Dugdale Kn'. &c. with Additions. Whereto is super- 
 added Houores Anglicani: or Titles of Honour of the English Nobility, in their several gradations of

 being conveyed to the parochial church of Shustoke, was on the 12th of the

 caused to be made under the north side of the chancel. It was laid near another 
 stone coffin in the said vault, containing the remains of his then late wife, to

 JL HAT the event of many things hath been long foreseen, as well by the 
 wisdom of prudent men as by the help of Divine Revelation, is not to be 
 denied; it being no greater wonder, if we rationally consider it, than are such 
 Hoods which happen at the spring of the year in vallies adjacent to mountains 
 that are covered with snow in winter. For it is not ordinarily seen, but that 
 real causes do produce their proper and natural effects. Hence was it that a 
 learned and judicious person*, above threescore years since, discerning a great 
 increase and growth of the Separatists and Sectaries in this realm, seriously 
 expressed; That all cost and care bestowed and had of the Church, wherein 
 God is to be served and worshipped, was accounted by those people a kind of 
 Popery ; so that time would soon bring it to pass, if it were not resisted, that 
 God would be turned out of Churches into barns, and from thence again into 
 the fields, and mountains, and under hedges; and the offices of the ministry 
 (robbed of all dignity and respect) be as contemptible as those places: all 
 order, discipline, and Church government, left to newness of opinion and men’s 
 fancies : yea, and soon after, as many kinds of religion spring up as there are 
 parish churches within England; every contentious and ignorant person clothing 
 his fancy with the Spirit of God, and his imagination with the gift of reve¬ 
 lation, &c. 
 
 How far forth these prophetic words of his are now fulfdled, I need not 
 give instance, nor apply them farther to my purpose, than freely to acknow¬ 
 ledge, that an eminent and loyal Member^- of the Long Parliament, called by

 SIR WILLIAM DL T GDALE’S INTRODUCTION 
 
 the late King Charles I. of blessed memory, observing that all sorts of schis¬ 
 matics, under colour of a purer reformation, had countenance from a predominant 
 party in that most unhappy Convention : and prudently foreseeing the sad effects 
 thereof, which by woful experience were soon after miserably felt, often and 
 earnestly incited me to a speedy view of what Monuments I could find in the 
 principal Churches of this realm ; to the end that by ink and paper, the shadows 
 of them with their inscriptions might be preserved for posterity, the things them¬ 
 selves being so near to destruction. 
 
 But though I then did not conceive it possible that such impiety could be 
 harboured in the breasts of those who had made such free and open protesta¬ 
 tions for defence of the religion here established, and by their oaths of Supre¬ 
 macy and Allegiance had solemnly vowed their fidelity to the King: yet so 
 great a reverence did I ever bear to such ancient memorials of the dead, that, 
 in order to transmit the figures of them to the view of those who were never 
 like to see them in specie, through the special favour of that worthy person, 
 in affording me assistance by a servant of his who had a dexterous hand in 
 taking the draughts of them with his pen, and support to us both in our 
 travel, whilst we laboured therein, I neglected no time, nor spared pains to take 
 notice of those which were at that time in this Cathedral, and of what others 
 then stood undefaced in several other, as also in sundry other Collegiate Churches 
 of this kingdom. Which, considering the lamentable devastation and spoil that 
 was soon after made of them by those great pretenders to godliness, I cannot 
 but attribute it to a special Providence that I became instrumental in thus 
 transmitting what I then did to the view of succeeding ages. 
 
 Nor do I account it other than the like Providence that I was the chief 
 means of preserving all those venerable Chartularies and Records belonging to 
 this ancient and famous Church; which, upon that sacrilegious and ravenous 
 seizure of the Deans and Chapters lands throughout this whole nation, by that 
 Long Parliament, coming to the hands of one Mr. John Reading, Chairman of 
 the Comrmttee for ordering the possessions thereof, were by him casually com¬ 
 municated to me. Whence, having reduced them out of no little confusion, and 
 extracted what I have said in my ensuing discourse of this Cathedral, I kept 
 them in my hands, during the whole time of the late usurpation; and soon 
 after his late Majesty was most happily restored, did faithfully deliver them 
 unto the then worthy Dean, Dr. Barwick; by whom being carefully laid up, 
 they are still preserved for the benefit of after ages. 
 
 Having therefore thus seasonably taken view of the Monuments therein, and 
 framed the Historical Part, relating to its foundation and endowment with

 Lands and Revenues; being frequently moved to communicate it to the world, 
 and therein assisted by divers worthy persons not a little affected to the honour 
 of this nation, I caused the ensuing Sculptures of the Tombs and Monuments, 
 (which in short time after were barbarously destroyed,) and also a lively prospect 
 of the whole Fabrick in all parts, to be made publick* by the press. Which, 
 considering it was not long after totally ruined by that woful fire of the City, 
 happening in the year 1666, hath in some sort preserved the memory thereof 
 to posterity. 
 
 The first edition of this Historical Work making therefore its period with 
 the commencement of the late wicked Rebellion, raised by the Sectaries and 
 their adherents, (as hath been observed,) that which I have in this second 
 impression added thereto, is a brief account of what was done in the repairs 
 of this Church until the time that it became destroyed by that lamentable Fire 
 of London ; and afterwards what progress hath hitherto been made in its New 
 Structure, which is of a much different form, and far exceeding that of the 
 Old Fabrick for its beauty and magnificence. Towards the carrying on of 
 which most pious and laudable work, as there are divers worthy persons which 
 have already not sparingly contributed, so I doubt not but that many others, 
 seeing how far in a few years it is already advanced, will be no less bountiful 
 in the furtherance thereof until it be fully completed.

 the self same purpose: and that the people of 
 God, when they were in the vast wilderness, and 
 without any settled habitation, yet had they there 
 a moveable tabernacle E , made by the command 
 of God ; which was of so great and high esteem 
 amongst them, that wheresoever the army of 
 Israel did march or encamp, this tabernacle was, 
 by the reverend care of Moses the prophet and 
 chosen servant of the Lord, placed in the middle 
 and centre thereof, having no less than 22,000 
 persons dedicated to its constant service and at¬ 
 tendance thereon; of which, 8,580 had the pe¬ 
 culiar charge, according to their several offices

 Yea, so regardful was God of a settled service 
 to be performed to him by them, when they 
 should come to dwell in the land, which had been 
 promised to their fathers; that he plainly told 
 them, “ Ye shall seek the place which the Lord 
 your God shall choose h which place being 
 Mount Moriah 1 in Jerusalem, where he purposed 
 to have that his standing habitation made; king 
 David, desiring 16 to perform so glorious a work, 
 incited 1 all men unto a bountiful contribution 
 thereto, and procured towards it, gold, silver, 
 brass, iron, wood ; as also precious stones in great 
 abundance. “ And because,” said he m , “ I have a 
 joy in the house of my God, I have of mine own 
 gold and silver, besides all that I have prepared 
 for the house of the sanctuary, given to the house 
 of my God three thousand talents of gold, even the 
 gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of fined 
 silver;” whereunto were added" by the princes 
 and people 5,000 talents of gold, and 10,000 
 drams of silver, beside brass, iron, and jewels. 
 
 Whose good intention became so well accepted 
 of God, though he was not permitted 0 to perform 
 that work, in regard he was a man of war, and 
 had shed blood; that thereupon he received both 
 a confirmation of the kingdom to himself and his 
 heirs, and that lmppy promise p of the everlasting 
 throne that should be established in his seed.

 and no less than r a hundred thousand talents ol

 with a charge * to build a house for the Lord God

 (a spectacle of admiration to all the world), in 
 which were employed ' thirty thousand carpen¬ 
 ters (viz. ten thousand every month by course), 
 eighty thousand masons in the mountain, and 
 seventy thousand labourers that bore burdens, 
 besides three thousand three hundred masters of 
 his work. 
 
 And after the overthrow u of this by Nebu¬ 
 chadnezzar king of Babylon, that the rebuilding 
 thereof was begun w by Joshua the son of Jozadak, 
 and Zerubbabel the son of Salathiel; though it 
 came so far short of the other, that they that saw 
 its foundations wept, x yet was it accounted the 
 wonder of the world: and rebuilt by Herod in 
 much greater state and glory, standing till the 
 time of our blessed Saviour, had that reverend 
 esteem from him, in regard it was a place sancti¬ 
 fied, he would not suffer the carriage of a vessel 
 through it. 
 
 Besides which temple, there were even in Ilie- 
 nisalem, as well as other parts of the land, in 
 process of time, no small number of synagogues 
 for men to resort unto, which were frequented 
 by Christ himself, and after him by his holy 
 apostles. But such was the persecution that at¬ 
 tended the Christian church in her infancy, that 
 their oratories were not, of a long time, either 
 sumptuous or stately, till that it pleased God to 
 raise up kings and emperors, which favoured that 
 profession; and then there was no cost spared 
 on such buildings, as may seem by those which 
 were erected y in every city, under Severus, Gor¬ 
 dian, Philip, and Galienus, and afterwards in 
 that which Constantine built z in Hierusalem, for 
 the dedication whereof all the bishops in Chris¬ 
 tendom met. 
 
 Nay, so much did the primitive Christians 
 strive to excel in such fabricks, that, in testimony 
 
 of their cheerful affections, thinking nothing too 
 much nor too good for God’s service, when Maxi¬ 
 minus had, by a solemn edict a , given leave for the 
 rebuilding of those temples which Dioclesian 
 caused to be overthrown, they reared them up to 
 an height immensurable, saith Eusebius b ; and 
 adorned them with far more beauty in their re- 
 stauration, than their founders before had given 
 them. 
 
 But to come nearer to my purpose, viz. the 
 History of this Church. 
 
 In the year 18o c , after our Saviour’s incar¬ 
 nation, Pope Eleutherius sent hither into Britain, 
 at the instance of King Lucius, two eminent 
 doctors, Faganus and Damianus, to the end 
 that they might instruct him and his subjects in 
 the principles of Christian religion, and conse¬ 
 crate such churches, as had been dedicated to 
 divers false gods, unto the honour of the true 
 God: whereupon these holy men constituted three 
 metropolitieal sees in the three chief cities of this 
 island, unto which they subjected divers bishop- 
 ricks : the first at London, whereunto all Eng¬ 
 land, from the banks of Humber, southwards, 
 and Severn eastward, belonged: the second, 
 York, which contained all beyond Humber north¬ 
 wards, together with Scotland: the third Caer- 
 leon (upon Uske), whereunto all westward of 
 Severn, with Wales totally, were subject. All 
 which continued so till Augustine (who was sent 
 by Pope Gregory in the year 604 after the birth 
 of our Saviour), having translated the primacy to 
 Canterbury, constituted Mellitus the first bishop 
 of London. 
 
 In the time of this bishop Mellitus, Ethelbert 
 king of Kent (who by the preaching of Augustine 
 before specified, was the first of our Saxon kings 
 that received the Christian faith), erected here a 
 church, as by the testimony of divers historians d 
 appeareth, dedicating it to St. Paul the apostle 
 and doctor of the Gentiles. That in the place 
 where he so built it, had been a temple of Diana 
 the goddess, is probable enough from those in¬ 
 stances which the learned Camden e giveth; viz. 
 the structure near at hand, called Diana's Cham¬ 
 bers, and the multitude of ox-heads digged up,

 when the east part thereof was rebuilded (viz. temp. 
 Ed. I.), which were then thought to be the relics 
 of the Gentiles’ sacrifices; whereunto I shall add 
 what I find in an ancient writer, viz. after that 
 Christian religion, which in the days of King 
 Lucius had been first planted in this nation, M as 
 through that great persecution of Dioclesian the 
 emperor almost utterly rooted out, idols were set 
 up in those churches wherein God had been 
 served — “ f Rediit itaque veteris abominationis 
 ubique sententia ” (saith he) “ sutl Britones ex- 
 pelluntur patria; immolat Dianas Londonia, 
 thurificat Apolloni suburbana Thorneia,” &c. 
 London sacrificed to Diana, and Thorney (which 
 is now called Westminster) to Apollo. 
 
 Admitting then that it had been an idolatrous 
 temple, whether it ought to be made use of by 
 Christians for the worship of the true God, let us 
 consider, that the commandment E to destroy all 
 places where the Canaanites had served their 
 gods, and not to convert any of them to the 
 honour of the true God, had reference unto a 
 special intent and purpose, viz. that there should 
 be but one only place in the whole land, where¬ 
 unto the people might bring such offerings, gifts, 
 and sacrifices, as their Levitical law did require; 
 by which law severe charge M as given them, in 
 that respect, not to convert those places to the 
 service of the living God, M'here the nations 
 before them had served idols, but h “ to seek the 
 place M’here the Lord their God should choose 
 out of all their tribes.” For as idolatrous per¬ 
 sons may be converted and live; so (doubtless) 
 may places M’here idolatrous M’orship hath been 
 exercised, be, M’ithout offence to God, con¬ 
 verted to his true worship and service: and this 
 did that holy man St. Gregory (Mho sent over 
 the before-specified Augustine the monk into this 
 nation to convert the Pagan Saxons to the faith 
 of Christ) M-ell consider, when he wrote to the 
 said Mellitus (our first bishop here), commanding 
 him to destroy the idols, but to reserve the 
 temples wherein they were, for the service of the 
 true God, as by his epistle 5 to him is most 
 
 amply manifested. Which very thing Mas 
 accordingly put in k practice by the before-spe¬ 
 cified Augustine himself; M’ho, having cleared 
 that idolatrous temple at Canterbury, where 
 King Ethelbert and his nobles did offer sacrifice 
 to the devil, changed it into a church, which he 
 dedicated to St. Pancrace. 
 
 Having now done with the first foundation of 
 this church by King Ethelbert, as I have said, 
 (Sebert then reigning under him in this tract), I 
 am next to inquire M r hat farther enlargement 
 there was in its structure; as also of its en- 
 dowment with lands. In which disquisition I 
 find, 1 that the before-mentioned King Ethelbert 
 gave thereunto the manor of Tillingham in 
 Essex; and that Erkinwald, the fourth m bishop 
 from Mellitus (an. 675 ), bestowed " great cost 
 in the fabrick thereof; augmenting its revenues 
 very much with his own estate; and procuring 
 divers ample privileges thereto, from the Pope 0 , 
 as also from the kings that then reigned in this 
 land : the life of which devout bishop, in respect 
 he Mas aftenvards canonized for a saint, and 
 his body translated to a glorious shrine, in the 
 east part of this church, above the high altar, is' 
 at large to be seen in the IMS. p here quoted: and 
 of that shrine I do intend to speak at large anon. 
 
 Iiowbeit, after this good bishop, for the space 
 of tM’o hundred and forty years I have not 
 discovered any other benefactor that it had, than 
 Kenred, king of the Mercians ; who only granted 4 
 this immunity thereto, that it should be in all 
 things as free, as he himself desired to be in 
 the day of judgment: but then did King Athel- 
 stan very amply endow r it with divers fair lord- 
 ships; viz. Sandon, Rode, Luftenhale, Bylcam, 
 Wycham, Tidwolditune, Runwell, Edulfesnesse, 
 and Neosdune, in the same county of Essex, 
 Erdeleye and Cadindone in Hertfordshire, Drai- 
 ton and Willesdon in Middlesex, and Bernes 
 in Surrey: King Edgar M’ith 5 Nastoke in Essex ; 
 Queen Lgelflede (his wife) with 1 Lagefare, and 
 Cochamstede. All M'hich donations Mere rati¬

 their charters, which do threaten the violators 
 of them with great curses, doth appear. 
 
 After which, King Edward the Confessor 
 gave 11 thereunto the lordships of Chingford, and 
 Barlings in Essex; and Edgiva r (a noble wo¬ 
 man) Wiggele. Howbeit, so great a change 
 did the Norman invasion (which happened soon 
 after) make, that some of its possessions (so 
 given, as hath been said) were seized on : but 
 sucli was the Conqueror’s zeal to Gods glory, 
 notwithstanding the hard measure which the 
 natives had, that he soon commanded full resti¬ 
 tution to be made, of whatsoever had been so 
 taken from it; adding his confirmation of all 
 the rest, as by that solemn charter 1 , made 
 the very day of his coronation, whereunto his 
 benediction to all that should augment its pos¬ 
 sessions, and curses to those that do contraiy, 
 are annexed. As also granting thereto several 
 large immunities’ and privileges 11 ; which lands, 
 then belonging thereto, were of no small extent, 
 as that authentick record e (viz. tire Conqueror s 
 Survey) doth manifest. 
 
 Great was the esteem that this eminent Cathe¬ 
 dral then had, as may farther seem by that 
 national council, of all the bishops, abbots, and 
 many other ecclesiastick persons, held therein, in 
 an. 1075, which was in the 9th year of King 
 William the Conqueror’s reign: the constitutions 
 whereof, forasmuch as they are very memorable, 
 you shall find in the second volume ot the councils, 
 collected by the learned Sir Henry Spelman, knt. 
 and transcribed by him from an ancient MS. 
 in the public library at Cambridge. Not long 
 after which, I find, that the victorious Norman, 
 having assigned d all ecclesiastical pleadings to 
 the episcopal jurisdiction; of his princely bounty, 
 gave ' and confirmed to Maurice, the then vene¬ 
 rable bishop of this see, the castle of Stortford 
 in Hertfordshire, and whatsoever William his 
 predecessor had of his gift; granting unto the 
 canons of this Cathedral most ample privileges 
 
 in all the lands belonging thereto. It seems, 
 that the before-specified Maurice had in some 
 sort injured this church ; but thereof he not only 
 repented ’, but made abundant satisfaction; for 
 after the city of London underwent such damage 
 by fire, (which was in the time of the Conqueror’s 
 reign,) so that the old fabrick, being roofed 8 
 with timber, was bumt h ; he (in an. 1 1083) 
 began the foundation of a most magnificent pile, 
 viz. all the body of the church, with the south 
 and north cross aisles; whereof an eminent his¬ 
 torian of that time hath this expression— 
 
 “ 8 Tanta est decoris magnificentia, ut merito 
 inter pravclara numeretur tedificia : tanta Crypt® 
 laxitas ; tanta superioris asdis capacitas, ut cuili- 
 bet populi multitudini videatur posse sufficere:” 
 so stately and beautiful, that it was worthily 
 numbered amongst the most famous buildings; 
 the vaults, or under-croft, being of such extent, 
 and the upper structure so large, that it was 
 sufficient to contain a great number of people. 
 
 It is evident 1 , that he had a great part of 
 his materials for this noble work, out of the 
 ruins of that strong castle, then called the Pala¬ 
 tine Tower, which stood on the west part of 
 the city, towards that little river of Fleet; 
 for that was burnt m when the said old fabrick 
 perished by fire; in the place whereof Ro¬ 
 bert Kilwarby, afterwards Archbishop of Can¬ 
 terbury, erected “ that house of Dominicans, 
 which is still very well known by the name 
 of Black-friers. But the foundations, which this 
 worthy bishop had laid, being suitable to his 
 mind, were so vast, as the same historian ob¬ 
 serves", that though he prosecuted the work 
 no less than twenty years (for so long lie lived) 
 hujus ' laboriosi operis impensam, transmisit ad 
 posteros, he left the perfecting thereof to poste¬ 
 rity. To whom succeeded Richard de Beaumeis, 
 in that sec, a person so transcendently affected 
 to this building, as that he bestowed ’ the whole 
 revenue of his bishoprick upon it, supporting

 himself and his family by other means : howbeit, 
 though he lived little less than the time that 
 his predecessor did, “ nihil efficere visus est r ,” 
 it seemed but little that he effected. 
 
 The particulars, which he did, besides the 
 finishing 5 of the walls, were the enlarging 1 of 
 the streets near unto it, by purchasing of lay¬ 
 men’s houses that stood there; and almost totally 
 compassing 1 * the churchyard with a very strong 
 wall; for the effecting whereof, King Henry I. 
 about the beginning of his reign, granted w to 
 him part of the ditch belonging to that castle 
 formerly mentioned; and so much thereof, as 
 might be sufficient to make a way without the 
 same wall, which way I conclude to be that 
 which is now part of Creed Lane and Carter 
 Lane; for in our time a great proportion of the 
 same wall was standing. And when the said 
 castle [called the Palatine Tower,] was possessed 
 by Eustace, Earl of Bulloign, (viz. soon after,) 
 he the said earl, for the health of his soul, 
 and the soul of his father, upon condition that 
 himself and his lady might be for ever partakers 
 of the prayers and good deeds performed in this 
 church, quit-claimed unto the before-specified 
 bishop all his interest in those lands, so enclosed 
 within the said wall, as by his deed of release*, 
 bearing date the fourteenth cal. of May, in the 
 year 110b, (7 Hen. I.) appeareth. 
 
 But, after these two bishops, I cannot certainly 
 find what progress was made in this eminent 
 structure, so happily begun by them ; our histo¬ 
 rians and records being silent therein: nor have 
 I seen any more thereof, for a long time after, 
 than that it had great hurt by a dreadful fire y > 
 on the xi. cal. of January, in the very first 
 year of King Stephen’s reign, (which began 2 
 at London Bridge, and continued to the church * 
 of the Danes,) but do believe, that Richard, who 
 was treasurer to King Henry II. during almost 
 his whole reign, and a most diligent and faithful 
 servant to him in that office, as is evident by 
 the vast sum which was found in the treasury at 
 his death, being made Bishop of London, in the 
 first year of King Richard’s reign, did very much 
 
 therein : for “ in ecclesia? subs et aedificiorum ad 
 sedem suam spectantium structura, magnam 
 impendit pecuniam,” saith Godwyn b . lie laid 
 out a vast sum of money in the building of this 
 church and houses belonging to his see. 
 
 Leaving, therefore, the farther increase of its 
 buildings for a while, I will now take notice 
 of what addition of privileges or possessions 
 was made to it by the succeeding kings of this 
 realm, bishops, and other persons of note; be¬ 
 ginning with King William Rufus. This king, 
 taking notice that some impositions, whereunto 
 others were subject, had been laid upon the 
 canons hereof, upon complaint to him made, 
 sent a special precept 1 to all his sheriffs, in 
 whatsoever county their lands lay, commanding 
 them, that they should be free from all taxes, 
 and in particular for the tower of London, wall, 
 bridge, See. as King William his father by 
 his writ had appointed: and by another d pre¬ 
 cept directed, that the lands and tenants of 
 Bishop Maurice should be acquit of ward-penny 
 and lestage, as they were in his father’s days. 
 
 To whom succeeded Henry I. who, having 
 given to Richard de Belmeis (successor to the 
 before-specified Maurice) part of his castle ditch, 
 for the wall of the churchyard, and a way 
 without it, (as I have already observed,) com¬ 
 manded', that all those ships and vessels, enter¬ 
 ing the River of Fleet, to bring stone for the 
 church, then in building, should be free from 
 toll and custom: and moreover granted f to the 
 same bishop, all great fish that might thenceforth 
 be taken within the precincts of his lands, ex¬ 
 cepting only the tongue, -which he reserved to 
 himself: and, lastly, gave 8 to him the said bishop 
 and his successors, the tytlie of all his venison 
 within the county of Essex. 
 
 Which bishop being a most devout man, and 
 bearing a singular affection to this church, (as 
 hath been already observed,) granted h thereto, 
 for the service of the altar, viz. the sacrifice 
 in bread and wine, the rent of his new wharf 
 upon the River of Thames (which I conceive 
 to be that now called Paul’s Wharf): and fear-

 ing the wrath of Gocl towards him for enclosing 
 the wood of Edulvesnase within his park at 
 Clachentone, though he did it with a good 
 intent; yet lest in tract of time the canons ot 
 this church might thereby lose it, he solemnly 
 restored it *, repenting of what he had done 
 therein more than he justly ought; farther 
 giving k to them the benefit of all oblations, 
 which should thenceforth be offered, on the 
 festivals of Saint Peter and Paul, upon the altar 
 of those saints, whereat they were attendant. 
 Nor was it long after, that Theobald, Archbishop 
 of Canterbury, for the special honour 1 and reve¬ 
 rence that he bore to the memory of Mellitus, 
 the first Bishop of London, whose reliques were 
 then kept in this church m , granted n an indul¬ 
 gence, for forty days, of their enjoined penance, 
 to all such as should solemnize the festival of 
 that blessed confessor. 
 
 To the before-mentioned Richard de Belmeis 
 succeeded, in this episcopal see, Robert, sur- 
 named de Sigillo ; of -whom I have seen no 
 more in reference to this Cathedral, than a con¬ 
 firmation of ° his to the dean and chapter, (about 
 the seventh year of King Stephen's reign,) of the 
 lordship of Edburgheton, which Ranulph Peve- 
 rell, (whose body lay here interred,) had given 
 to the lights burning therein. For the support 
 of which lights, I likewise findthat Ralph de 
 Comhull very soon after gave 12d. yearly rent 
 towards the maintenance of that in particular 
 burning before the altar of St. Erkenwald, and as 
 much for that at the altar of St. James. 
 
 About this time, William de Belmeis, then a 
 canon of Paul's, and nephew- of Richard de 
 Belmeis, the bishop before spoken of, for the 
 health of his said uncle's soul, and of the soul 
 of Robert de Belmeis, his father, gave’ to the 
 canons of this church, by the consent of Gilbert 
 Foliot, the then bishop, the church of St. Pancras, 
 with all the tythes and other obventions thereto 
 belonging: And soon after, one Osbert dc Ca¬ 
 mera, being visited with great sickness, granted" 
 unto them in pure alms, for the health of his 
 soul, certain lands and houses, lying near Ilaggc- 
 lane, in the Parish of St. Benedict; giving 
 
 possession of them with his gold ring, wherein 
 a ruby was set; appointing, that the same gold 
 ring, together with his seal, should for ever be 
 fixed to the charter whereby he so disposed 
 them: the revenue of which lands to be divided 
 into three parts; viz. one for the clerks belonging 
 to the quire of Paul’s; the other to the almoner, 
 for the behoof of poor people, on the day of his 
 anniversary; and the third part for the fabrick 
 of the church.

 But before I go on to observe how and 
 wherein this famous Cathedral had an accession 
 of farther endowments and privileges, it will not 
 be amiss here to take notice of the School 
 belonging thereto. That this was very ancient, 
 is manifest by the charter* of the before-specified 
 Richard, Bishop of London, in the time of King 
 Henry I., who thereby granted to one Hugh the 
 schoolmaster, and his successors in that employ¬ 
 ment, the habitation of Durandus, at the comer 
 of the turret, (i. c. the clochier or bell tower,) 
 where William the Dean of Paul's had placed 
 him, by his, the said bishop’s, command; together 
 with the custody of the library belonging to this 
 church. To which Hugh succeeded, in that 
 place, Ilenry 1 a canon of the same bishop’s, 
 that had been educated under the said Hugh; 
 unto whom the before-specified bishop, besides 
 the house which he the same Hugh enjoyed, 
 granted” a meadow at Fulham, together with 
 the tythes of Ylings and Madeley : which 
 Henry had such great respect in those days, that 
 Henry de Blows, that famous bishop of Win¬ 
 chester, (who was nephew to the king,) com¬ 
 manded*’, that none should presume to teach 
 school within the whole city of London, without 
 his license; excepting the schoolmasters of St. 
 Mary Bow, and St. Martins le Grand. And in 
 farther augmentation of its revenues, Richard, 
 surnamed Nigel, who sate bishop here in King 
 Richard the First’s time, gave 1 unto this School all 
 the tythes arising in his demesnes at Fulham and 
 Ilorsete; with an acre of land in the said town

 And having now done with what relates to 
 that ancient School, I shall observe, that the 
 knight's fees in Essex and Middlesex, which the 
 Bishop of London had in those days, were r no 
 less than xxxvi., by which the total extent of 
 his possessions may in some sort be guessed at.

 About the same time, the Office of Treasurer 
 was constituted in this Cathedral, the first that 
 underwent the trust thereof being one Godfrey 1 , 
 unto whom Robert de Sigillo, bishop here in 
 King Stephens days*, had given certain churches 
 which were said to belong to his own table. To 
 the intent, therefore, that all question concerning 
 them might be taken off, clear it is, that Richard 
 de Belmeis, (the second Bishop of London of that 
 name,) by the advice of Theobald, Archbishop of 
 Canterbury, and certain of his fellow bishops ; as 
 also with the consent of his chapter, assigned" 
 them to the use of him and his successors in that 
 office for ever. These were the churches of 
 Sudmenstre, Aldburie, Pelham Purnells, and Pel¬ 
 ham Sarners : but the two latter of them were so 
 given, as that the said Godfrey and his suc¬ 
 cessors should provide three hundred pound 
 weight ol wax, for six lamps continually burning 
 in this church ; as also oil, incense, and coal, for 
 the amending and washing the ornaments and 
 \ estments belonging thereto: and moreover, for 
 the sweeping and cleansing thereof with rushes, 
 straw, and mops, yielding the like allowance to 
 the sacrist, and three other servants of the 
 church, as had heretofore been used ; so as the 
 whole charge for all these particulars did not 
 amount to more than ten marks per annum. To 
 w hich Office of Treasurer belonged the custody 
 of the books pertaining to the church, as ap¬ 
 pears by a catalogue of them", taken in an.

 1 he next thing whereof I am, in order of time, 
 to take notice, is the settled habitation of the 
 
 dean. This, standing" within the precinct of the 
 churchyard, and being the c mansion of Ralph 
 de Diceto, (f. e. Disca in Com. Suff.) Dean of 
 Paul's about the latter end of King Ilenry the 
 Second's reign; was, with the chapel belonging 
 thereto, by him granted r to his successors in that 
 office for ever; the ground wffiereon they were 
 built having been given, for that purpose, by 
 Gilbert Foliot, the then bishop : which grant had 
 such estimation with the canons of this church 
 that by an instrument ! under their public seal, 
 they assigned 1 Os. to be annually paid for ever 
 by the successive deans, as a pittance at the so¬ 
 lemnizing the anniversary of that learned man; 
 whose memory is not a little famous to this dav 
 for those elaborate historical works of his, where¬ 
 of Bataus h makes mention; some of which, viz. 
 
 “ Abbreviationes Chronicarum,” and “ Imagines 
 Historiarum,” have been lately 1 published.

 About this time also, there was an Plospital 
 founded k within tire liberties belonging to this 
 Cathedral, by Henry de Northampton, a canon 
 thereof; as is evident by its confirmation made 
 by the before-specified dean (viz. Ralph de Diceto) 
 and his chapter. Which Henry, for the health 
 of his soul, gave to God and St. Paul, his man¬ 
 sion-house, with the court adjoining, for the ha¬ 
 bitation of poor people; and, for their main¬ 
 tenance, granted the whole tythes belonging to 
 his prebendary. And for augmentation thereof, 
 the said dean and chapter conferred all their 
 alms, both in bread and money', which they had 
 used to allow to the poor, according to the an¬ 
 cient institutions of this church. As also the 
 church ol St. Pancras, with the lands and tythes 
 thereto belonging; and the tythes of Totanelle 1 , 
 as well in com as other things: provided, that 
 one Alexander, a clerk, (who was then the tenant 
 of those tythes,) might hold them of the said Hos¬ 
 pital, as he did ol the said dean and chapter: 
 and reserving to themselves a certain yearly 
 pension to be paid by the said Hospital: adding, 
 lastly', the church of Berne thereto, with tile 
 glebe and tythes to it belonging.

 Not long after this it was, that Henry tie 
 Comhull, Chancellor of London, gave m to his 
 successors in that office, (by the consent of Roger, 
 surnamed Niger, the then bishop,) his dwelling- 
 house, with the appurtenances, situate south¬ 
 wards from this church, reserving a mark yearly 
 to be paid on the day of his anniversary; viz. 
 half thereof to the canons then present at the 
 commemoration of the dead ; and the residue to 
 the other clerks of the quire, at that time likewise 
 there.

 And as the former kings did by their several 
 charters confirm all the lands and possessions 
 which, through the great munificence of their 
 predecessors, had been given to this Cathedral, 
 granting unto the canons here serving God, 
 sundry immunities and privileges in them: so 
 also did King John, and much more amply, as 
 by his charter", dated at Shorham xvi. Junii, in 
 the very first year of his reign, appeareth : add¬ 
 ing * afterwards, (viz. in the fifth year of his 
 reign,) the church of Shoreditch, for the found¬ 
 ing of a chief Chanter here, for the good estate 
 of himself, and for the health of the soul ot 
 King Henry the lid. his father : and in the lfitli 
 of his reign, gave p unto William de S. Maria, 
 the then Bishop of London, and his successors,

 I now return to the Fabrick, but principally 
 the east part; the body of the church, with the 
 cross aisles, being perfected long before; and so 
 likewise the quire, which it then had, as is yet 
 evident from the undercroft whereon it stood : but 
 that the said quire was not afterwards thought 
 beautiful enough, though in uniformity of build¬ 
 ing it suited with the church, is very plain : so 
 that, resolving to make a better, they began with

 the steeple, which was finished in anno 1221 q , 
 (5 Hen. III.), and then going on with the quire, 
 according to the like form of architecture, 
 perfected it in anno 1240, (24 Hen. ILL), as 
 may seem by the new dedication ' of the 
 church in that very year: at which great so¬ 
 lemnity, Eadmund, then Archbishop of Canter¬ 
 bury, and six other bishops, were s present 1 ; 
 as also Otto, the Pope’s legate, and King Henry 
 the Third himself, with a multitude of people; 
 Roger, surnamed Niger, then Bishop of London, 
 being the main cause thereof; who procured an 
 indulgence of forty days’ pardon to all such as 
 should, (de peccatis suis verfe pcenitentibus, con- 
 fessis et contritis,) being truly confessed and 
 contrite of their sins, come with devotion there¬ 
 to ; which indulgence was to stand good 
 also, on the anniversary of the said dedication 
 for ever. 
 
 That this Roger was a great benefactor to the 
 before-specified fabrick, cannot be doubted; for 
 I find “ that, in 14 Hen. III., he confirmed 
 whatsoever Maurice, his predecessor, had granted 
 thereto; and moreover ratified all those obla¬ 
 tions, made at Whitsuntide, which Eustace de 
 Fauconbrigge (the immediate foregoing bishop) 
 had restored for the same purpose. That he 
 was likewise, for his singular piety, canonized 
 for a saint, appeareth by an indulgence w of thirty 
 days’ pardon, granted in anno 1252, by Hugh de 
 Balsham, Bishop of Ely, to all such as being 
 truly penitent and confessed of their sins, should, 
 for prayer or devotion’s sake, visit his tomb, 
 (a true representation whereof, I have in its 
 place exhibited). In which pardon he is thus 
 mentioned; viz. “ Beati Rogeri, episcopi et con- 
 fessoris so also in the like indulgence* in anno 
 12(59, by John Breton, bishop of Hereford. 
 
 Concluding, therefore, the tower steeple finish¬ 
 ed as above said, and so much as the quire, at 
 that time, was then begun; I shall now demon¬ 
 strate how the most of the charge in carrying 
 on so great a work became supported: which, 
 in brief, was by the bounty of good people, 
 throughout both the realms of England and 
 Ireland, whose fervent devotion, to the advance¬ 
 ment of God’s service, incited them most wil-

 lingly to further all works of this nature, as 
 occasion was offered. 
 
 Aud that this was the way by which they 
 herein proceeded to raise monies, the sundry 
 letters y of the several bishops of both nations 
 to the clergy under their charge, for recommend¬ 
 ation of the business to their particular con¬ 
 gregations, is most evident; a multitude whereof 
 I have seen and read: by which letters there 
 arc indulgences extending to a certain number of 
 days, for such penance as they had injunction to 
 perform, granted to all those, as being truly 
 sorry for their sins, and confessed, should afford 
 their helps towards this pious work. The first 
 of them that I have met with being by Hugh 
 Foliot, Bishop of Hereford, to the clergy and 
 others of his diocese, dated on the day of the 
 exaltation of the holy cross (commonly called 
 Holy Hood Day) in an. 1228, (13 Hen. III.), 
 for twenty days penance, was to be in force for 
 seven years. The like did Richard Wethershed, 
 Archbishop of Canterbury, grant for forty days 
 penance to those of his, in an. 1230. So also 
 Anselm, Bishop of St. David’s, in an. 1233. 
 
 And two years after, scil. an. 1235, Henry, 
 Archbishop of Colein (in Germany), being then 
 in England, exciting all persons whatsoever thus 
 to further this noble work, granted the like to 
 them for relaxation of fifty days penance, as by 
 his letters bearing date at the New Temple in 
 London on the day of the invention of the holy 
 cross appeareth. 
 
 Not long after this, (for I take it to be before 
 the 20th of Henry III., though the instrument 
 have no date,) there was provision of fitting 
 timber made for the stalls in the quire; the 
 bishops still persisting to issue out their letters 
 hortatory, as abovesaid, in order as follow¬ 
 ed], viz. 
 
 In an. 1236. S.Eadmund, A.B. of Cant, for xx days penance, 
 an. 1237- Walter, Archb. of Yorke,-j f xl 
 
 Josceline, Bp. of Bathe,

 William, Bp. of Norwich, 
 
 1243. William, Bp. of Norwich, .

 But in an. 1244, the indulgence from Wal¬ 
 ter, Bishop of Norwich, extends to those which 
 
 should either, for devotion’s sake, visit the tomb 
 of the before-mentioned Roger, sumamed Niger, 
 or give assistance to this magnificent fabrick. 
 
 So did also that from Richard, Bishop of 
 Exeter, in an. 1252. 
 
 In which year Pope Innocent III. sending 
 out his pardon tor release ot forty days penance, 
 &c. taking notice that the work was begun long 
 before, the better to promote it, hath this ex¬ 
 pression : “ Cum dilecti filii, Capitulum Londi- 
 nensis Ecclesia?. S. Pauli, ecclesiam ipsam jam- 
 dudurn inceptam, operc quamplurimum sumptu- 
 oso, consummare intendunt, See. rogamus, &c. 
 universos Christi fideles,” &c. Whereas our 
 beloved sons, the chapter of the Church of St. 
 Paul in London, do intend to perfect the fabrick 
 thereof (long since begun) with sumptuous work, 
 &c., we desire all faithful Christians, See. 
 
 But the year following, viz. an. 1253, Lau¬ 
 rence, Bishop of Rochester, in his Indulgence, 
 addeth likewise the visiting of the said Roger 
 Niger's tomb. 
 
 To these did next succeed those olj 
 
 Boniface, Archbishop of Canterbury, in an. 1253, for xl 
 
 1254. John, Bishop of LandalT, ^ 
 
 1255. William, Bishop of Salisbury, ^ * 
 
 Howbeit, this work of the quire was not all; for 
 clear it is, that either the roof of the old struc¬ 
 ture was made new, or substantially repaired 
 about this time, it being then in a ruinous con¬ 
 dition: for in those letters hortatory, sent out 
 by Fouk Basset, Bishop of London, in an. 
 1255, to stir up the people to liberal contribu¬ 
 tions, and wherein he specially desires, that all 
 persons in their testaments will take such consi¬ 
 deration ot this building, as to bequeath some¬ 
 what thereto, mentions the great decay of the 
 said root thus: “ Quod Ecclesia S. Pauli, in 
 retroactis temporibus, tantis turbinibus fuit quas- 
 sata, Sec. ut totum ejus tectum, jam quasi in 
 ruinam gravissimam declinare videtur.” That 
 the Church of St. Paul was in times past so 
 shattered by tempests, that the whole roof there¬ 
 of seemed very ruinous. 
 
 But how munificent the people were in those 
 days, and in what an ample manner they then 
 contributed to such buildings, is plain enough 
 by the farther enlargement of this in its length,

 viz. the whole extent of that which now bears 
 the name of St. Faith’s Church, which being in¬ 
 tended long before, as may seem from an as¬ 
 signation z , for that purpose, of certain new 
 improved lands lying in Chilmersford, made in 
 anno 1205, (7 Joh.), bv William de S. Maria, 
 Bishop of London; was begun* in an. 1256, 
 (40 Hen. III.) on that very ground, obtained 
 formerly by the said bishop, from King John, 
 for a new market-place (“ In loco, in quo novum 
 forum ad opus ecclesiaj et episcoporuin Londi- 
 nensium, de dono prsefati Johannis rcgis Angli.e 
 adquisivimus,” are the words of his grant:) And 
 in addition of supplies, to carry on the charge 
 thereof, afforded thereto, so soon as cause re¬ 
 quired, as is evident by those letters hortatory 
 afterwards issued out by several bishops with 
 indulgences, as aforesaid, for that purpose; viz. 
 by Fouk Basset, Bishop of London, in anno 1259- 
 
 "" Richard, Bishop of Lincoln, in an. 1260. 
 
 Giles, Bishop of Salisbury, in an. 1261. 
 
 John, Bishop of Winchester, ^ ^ 
 
 Walter, Bishop of Salisbury, J 
 Robert, Bishop of Durham, in an. 1265. 
 
 Godfrey, Bishop of Worcester, in an. 1270. 
 Thomas, Bishop of Hereford, in an. 1276. 
 
 And about this time, scil. in an. 1277, 
 Bichard de Hereford, (a clerk of the king’s,) for 
 the health of his soul, as also for the soul of Hugh 
 his father, and Cecilie his mother, and the souls 
 of all the faithful deceased, gave b to the then 
 dean and canons of this church, towards the 
 perpetual repair of the before-specified building, 
 called the New Work, (“ ad opus et sustenta- 
 tioncm perpetuam novi operis gloriosas et beafce 
 Virginis Marias, matris Domini mei Jesu Christi, 
 fundati et inchoati ad caput famosa? Ecclesia? 
 S. Pauli, versus orientem,”) xii. sol. yearly rent, 
 issuing out of certain houses situate in Athe- 
 ling Street, (now called Addle Hill,) in the parish 
 of St. Andrew, near Baynard’s Castle. 
 
 And alter this, within a few years, seik anno 
 1281, there was another c letter hortatory issued 
 out by John, Archbishop of Canterbury, afford¬ 
 ing the same number of days for indulgence as 
 the other bishops had done: the like d from 
 
 William, Bishop of Norwich, in an. 1283. By 
 both which letters, as also by that from Thomas, 
 Bishop of Hereford, in an. 1276, mention is 
 made, that it was for the old and new work. 
 Nay, not only the contributors to this glorious 
 structure were thus favoured, but the solicitors 
 for contributions, and the very mechanics them¬ 
 selves, who laboured therein, as by that indul¬ 
 gence e from Richard, Bishop of Hereford, in 
 an. 1283, of forty days penance, appeareth. 
 
 But, about this time, it seems that the main 
 brunt was over; for afterwards I find but few 
 more of those letters hortatory ; the next f being 
 not till more than ten years following, viz. by 
 the same Richard, Bishop of Hereford, in anno 
 1294, and for forty days pardon. The 6 next to 
 that, by John, Bishop of Norwich, in anno 1303. 
 The next h , twelve years after that, viz. in anno 
 1316, by Roger, Bishop of Salisbury: and this 
 was for the old work and the belfrey, by special 
 direction; which was the last, except one, 
 almost 60 years after, viz. in anno 1371, sent 
 from 1 Simon, a cardinal of Rome, which afforded 
 a hundred days release, &c. to all such as should 
 give to the repair of the whole fabrick in general. 
 
 As for the contributions k from Ireland, 
 they began in anno 1237, and continued in that 
 realm till anno 1370 inclusive, as I have here 
 briefly noted, viz. 
 
 Christian, Bishop of Emcly, in anno 1237, for xx days 
 William, Bishop of Leghlin, in an. 1246

 David, Bishop of Cashal, in an. 1268, xl 
 
 Thomas, Bishop of Down, in an. 1270, J Lxl 
 
 Nor have I seen any more, but one 1 , from 
 Albinus, Bishop of Brechin in Scotland, whose 
 indulgence reacheth no farther than ten days; 
 but is of such latitude, that it includes all per¬ 
 sons, who, for devotion's sake, should visit the 
 altars of St. Edmund, Archbishop of Canterbury, 
 and of S. Edward the King, situate in this Ca¬ 
 thedral ; and there either pray for the soul of the 
 Lady Isabell dc Brus m , or offer something to the 
 fabrick of the church.

 And having now done with the main structure 
 of this goodly Cathedral, I may not omit to 
 observe, that Henry de Lacy, Earl of Lincoln, 
 was a very great benefactor" to that part of it, 
 called the New Work; for which respect he 
 was buried at the east end thereof in St. Dun- 
 stan’s Chapel, where stood a goodly monument 
 for him, with his image in armour of mail, cross- 
 legged, as I have there represented. 
 
 So also was Raphe de Baldock ; first whilst 
 he was dean, and afterwards hishop, who like¬ 
 wise had sepulture in the midst of that part of it, 
 which is called Our Lady Chapel, at the head 
 of Bishop Braybroke’s monument: but his por¬ 
 traiture in brass, and epitaph, were long since 
 torn from tile marble under which his body 
 rested. 
 
 The next thing which I conceive most proper 
 to be taken notice of, is, of what else I have 
 seen that relates to the inward or outward part 
 thereof, either essentially, or in point of orna¬ 
 ment, as I find mention of them in order of 
 time, beginning with the high altar. 
 
 Cfic altar. 
 
 This, as appeareth by the indented covenants 0 
 betwixt Raphe de Baldock, Bishop of London, 
 and one Richard Pikerell, a citizen, had a 
 beautiful tablet made and fitted to set thereon in 
 an. 1309, (3 Ed. II.), variously adorned with 
 many precious stones, and enamelled work ; as 
 also with divers images of metal: which tablet 
 stood betwixt two columns, within a frame of 
 wood to cover it, richly set out with curious 
 pictures, the charge whereof amounted to two 
 hundred marks. 
 
 Cite pavement. 
 
 About three years following, viz. in anno 
 1312, (6 Ed. II.), was the pavement of the 
 New' Work made p of good and firm marble, 
 which cost 5d. the foot. And within three 
 years afterwards a great part of the spire of 
 timber (covered with lead) being weak, and in 
 danger of falling, was taken q dow n, and a new r 
 cross, with a pomel well gilt, set on the top

 thereof; in w hich cross the relicks of divers 
 saints were put, by Gilbert de Segravc, then 
 Bishop of London, with great and solemn pro¬ 
 cession, on the fourth nones of October, to the 
 intent 5 that God Almighty, (as saith my author,) 
 by the glorious merits of his saints, whose 
 relicks were therein contained, would vouchsafe 
 to preserve the said steeple from all danger of 
 tempests. By the favour also of which bishop, 
 there was then granted an indulgence 1 of one 
 hundred and titty days pardon, annually, to 
 endure tor the space of twenty-seven years. 
 
 Measure of tfjc Cbuicf). 
 
 In the same year also there was an exact 
 measure taken ot this stately and magnificent 
 church, both in length, breadth, and height: 
 by which the length thereof was found to con¬ 
 tain six hundred and ninety feet; the breadth 
 one hundred and thirty feet, the height of the 
 roof of the west part from the floor one hundred 
 and two feet, the height of the roof of the 
 new fabrick (viz. cast from the steeple) from 
 the pavement eighty-eight feet; the whole body 
 of the church one hundred and fifty feet; the 
 space of ground, on which it stands, extending 
 to three acres and a half, one rood and a half, 
 and six perches. The height of the tower-steeple 
 from the level ground two hundred and sixty- 
 feet; the height of the spire of w'ood (covered 
 with lead) two hundred and seventy-four feet; 
 and yet the whole, viz. tov'er and spire, ex¬ 
 ceeded not five hundred and twenty feet; the 
 ball above the head of the spire being so large as 
 it would contain within it ten bushels of com; 
 the length of the cross, above the said ball 
 or pomel, fifteen feet; and the traverse of the 
 said cross six feet. All which being written w 
 in a certain tablet, with large characters, hereto¬ 
 fore hung on the north part of the quire. 
 
 Picture of Paul. 
 
 Ihe next thing, as to the inward ornament, 
 (that hath come to my view,) is the picture 
 ot St. Paul, richly painted,* and placed x in a

 Cbe ©freeing of a TBuck ano ©oc. 
 
 In which glorious condition I shall tor a 
 while leave this famous church, and proceed 
 in taking notice of what else hath been most 
 remarkable therein ; whereof the first that I have 
 met with, is that signal grant 2 made to the dean 
 and canons by Sir W illiam le Baud, knt. in 
 3 Ed. I. of a doe yearly in winter on the day 
 of the conversion of St. Paul, and ot a tat 
 buck in summer upon the day ot the commemo¬ 
 ration of the same saint, to be offered at the 
 high altar here by the said Sir William and 
 his household family, and then to be distributed 
 amongst the canons resident; which said doe 
 and buck were so given by the same Sir William 
 in lieu of twenty-two acres of land, lying within 
 the lordship of Westlee in com. Essex, belong¬ 
 ing to the said canons, and by them granted 
 to him and his heirs, to be enclosed within his 
 park of Toringham, whereunto they lay adja¬ 
 cent : but, about the certain time, and formality 
 in offering the said buck and doe, there growing 
 afterwards some dispute, Sir Walter le Baud, 
 knt., son and heir to the before-specified Sir 
 William, by his deed, bearing date on the ides 
 of July, 30 Ed. I., for the health of his soul, 
 and for the souls of his progenitors and heirs, 
 confirming his said lather s grant, did oblige 
 himself and his heirs, as also his lands and 
 tenements for the future, in manner and form 
 following; viz. that every year for ever, on the 
 day of the conversion of Saint Paul in winter, 
 there should be a good fat doc brought by 
 one of his or their fitting servants, anil not the 
 whole family, at the hour of procession, and 
 through the midst thereof, and offered at the 
 high altar, without exacting any tiling, for the 
 said service, of the before-mentioned dean and 
 chapter. And on the day of the commemoration 
 of St. Paul, in summer, a fat buck, by some 
 such servant, attended with as many of the 
 family as had heretofore been usual, and so 
 earned through the midst of the procession, 
 
 offered at the said high altar, as aforesaid ; the 
 said dean and chapter, after the offering thus per¬ 
 formed, giving by the hands of their chamber¬ 
 lain 12d. sterling to those persons so bringing 
 the buck, for their entertainment. And unto 
 this grant were witnesses, Sir Nicholas dc 
 Wokyndon, Sir Richard de la liokclc, Sir 
 Thomas de Maundevile, and Sir John de Roche¬ 
 fort!, knights, with divers other. The reception 
 of which doe and buck was, till Queen Eliza¬ 
 beth's days, solemnly performed at the steps 
 of the quire, by the canons of this Cathedral 
 attired in their sacred vestments, and wearing 
 garlands of flowers on their heads : and the 
 horns of the buck carried on the top of a spear, 
 in procession, round about within the body of 
 the church, with a great noise of horn-blowers, 
 as the learned Camden, upon his own view of 
 both, affirmeth a . 
 
 falling tfje CfwrcH^u. 
 
 Not long after this, upon information made 
 to King Ed. I. that, by the lurking of thieves 
 and other leud people, in the night-time, within 
 the precinct of this church-yard, divers robberies, 
 homicides, and fornications, had been oft times 
 committed therein ; for the preventing therefore 
 of the like, for the future, the said king, by his 
 patent b , bearing date at Westminster, the tenth 
 of June, in the thirteenth year of his reign, to 
 the honour of God and holy church, and of 
 those saints whose bodies were buried therein, 
 as also for the better security of the canons and 
 officers belonging thereto, granted unto the said 
 dean and canons license to include the same 
 church-yard with a wall on every side, with 
 fitting gates and posterns therein, to be opened 
 every morning, and closed at night. 
 
 iDtoinitp lecture. 
 
 About this time, Richard de Gravesende 
 being Bishop of London, considering' with him¬ 
 self, that though in divers other cathedrals of 
 this realm, some learned doctors in divinity had 
 anciently read in that faculty, but not in this 
 of London, which was more famous than any; 
 so that they were constrained to procure others

 from far to that purpose; at his very first ordi¬ 
 nation, by the consent of his chapter, decreed d , 
 that the chancellor of this church, as a man 
 most proper for such a service, by reason of 
 his office, should undergo the same lecture for 
 the time to come ; and that thenceforth none 
 might be ordained chancellor there, unless he 
 were a master, or a batchelor in divinity; and 
 who by himself should perform that task ; or, in 
 case he were lawfully hindered, procure another 
 fit person to do it: and forasmuch as the reve¬ 
 nues belonging to the chancellor were not a 
 sufficient support for the undergoing of this duty, 
 and that of his office too, it appears, that Raphe 
 de Baldok, the succeeding bishop, by his grant * 
 bearing date at London, the morrow after the 
 feast of Saint Andrew the apostle, 2 Ed. II. by 
 the advice ami consent of his chapter, in farther 
 augmentation of the revenues belonging to that 
 office of chancellor, gave and appropriated there¬ 
 unto the church of Ylling, excepting 10/. per 
 annum payable out of it for the maintenance of 
 a vicar. 
 
 Jmmumtg from tfic King's puniest*#. 
 
 The next thing that is observable concerning 
 this Cathedral (that I have met with), is that 
 Immunity f granted unto the canons thereof in 
 7 Ed. II. throughout all the manors belonging 
 thereto, that no purveyor of the king's should 
 take any corn within the precincts of them : 
 which manors are particularly enumerated; 
 viz. Thorpe, Walton, Kirkeby, Snatyng, Chig- 
 gelford, Tillingham, Braylings, Nastoke, Ile- 
 brugge, Beauchampe, Wykham, Ronewell, Nor¬ 
 ton, Westle, Alba-Ilothing in Essex: Cadindone, 
 Erdele, and Sandone, in Hertfordshire: Sutton, 
 Drayton, Sonnesburie, Willcsdon, and Ylling, in 
 Middlesex: and Bernes in Surrey: or in the 
 churches of Borham, Houton, Bures, and Wen- 
 ynton in Essex, which specially belonged to 
 the bakehouse of this church.

 and opulency in its outward revenues; I shall 
 now take notice of the splendour that it had by 
 the inward furniture in those days belonging 
 thereto; which, consisting in a multitude of 
 glorious jewels, massy plate, rare and costly 
 manuscripts, sumptuous shrines, rich vestments, 
 magnificent suits of hangings, and other orna¬ 
 ments, as are to admiration, doth sufficiently 
 make evident unto us, what earnest zeal was 
 borne to God himself, by those our pious ances¬ 
 tors, who stuck not at that charge for the 
 adorning of his house g ; as they are registered 
 upon a survey made by Raphe de Baudak, in 
 anno 1295 (23 Ed. I.) he being then dean, I 
 have, therefore, in its proper place exhibited. As 
 also of the reliques\ which were anciently held 
 in no small esteem, and remained therein. 
 
 Particular, in honour of tfic 'BloreD 
 Virgin, 
 
 I come now to speak of such things which 
 had peculiar reference to the blessed Virgin, 
 in this church; whose memory was in high 
 regard in those ancient times. The first of 
 these, that I have seen, is an assignation 1 made 
 by Eustace de Fauconbrigge, Bishop of London, 
 shortly after the beginning of King Henry II I/s 
 time, of the church of Bumstede, which the 
 prior and convent of Stoke, at his request, had 
 granted to this Cathedral, for the behoof of 
 poor clerks frequenting the quire, and celebrating 
 the holy office of our Lady: and, moreover, 
 of five marks, issuing out of the church of 
 Finchingfeld ; so that six clerks should be made 
 choice of every day, with one priest of the quire, 
 by turns, to be at the celebration of the mass 
 of our Lady, and also to say mattens and all 
 other canonical hours, at her altar. 
 
 SUtat of out* EaDp. 
 
 And in anno 1299 (27 Ed. I.) the prior and 
 convent of Thetford gave* four marks per annum, 
 to be distributed likewise amongst the clerks, 
 which should celebrate the mass of the said 
 blessed Virgin, at her altar. Which altar was 
 (doubtless) it that stood in a certain chapel,

 dedicated to the honour of our Lady, in this 
 church; ^hereunto I findthat the executors 
 of Hugh de Pourte, in 11 Ed. II. gave 185. 
 yearly rent, to maintain one taper of three 
 pounds weight, to burn before it every day, 
 whilst her mass should be solemnizing; and 
 at every procession of the quire, belore the 
 same altar.

 But in the body of the church stood the 
 glorious image of the blessed V irgin”, fixed to 
 the pillar at the foot of Sir John de Beau¬ 
 champ’s tomb (viz. the second pillar on the 
 south side, from the steeple westwards); before 
 which, that there might be a lamp burning every 
 night, I find a grant” made to the dean and 
 chapter of this Cathedral, in anno 1365 
 (39 Ed. III.), by John Barnet, then Bishop 
 of Bath and Wells, of one water-mill, seventy- 
 six acres of arable land, five acres of meadow, 
 nine acres of pasture, eight acres of wood, and 
 43s. yearly rent, lying in Nastoke in the county 
 of Essex: in which grant he appointeth, that 
 after mattens celebrated in the quire every day, 
 and those present thereat gone out, an anthem of 
 our Lady, scil. “ Nesciens mater,” or some other 
 solemn one, suitable to the time, should be sung 
 before the said image, with a versicle: which 
 being performed, the gravest person then present 
 to say a collect of the said blessed Virgin; 
 afterwards the Psalm of “ De profundis,” for the 
 souls of all the faithful, with the versicle and 
 prayer, “ Deus, cujus miseratione,” &c. and then 
 the same person to say thus: “ Aniline omnium 
 fidelium defunctorum, per Dei misericordiam, re- 
 quescant in pace.” 
 
 ffiblations tbcrcro. 
 
 Many and frequent were the oblations which 
 were made to this image by devout people 
 and pilgrims, as by the accounts ° of the church 
 officers appeareth; insomuch as the bishop ex¬ 
 pected some advantage thereby : but to this the 
 dean and chapter not yielding, the difference 
 was referred to the arbitration of Thomas Arun¬ 
 del, Archbishop of Canterbury; who, by his

 award p , bearing date the 15th of February, 
 anno 1411 (13 Hen. IV.), adjudged them totally 
 to the dean and canons resident; forasmuch as 
 it was then proved, that those oblations had 
 been formerly received by their substitutes, viz. 
 the chamberlains and bell-ringers of the church ; 
 who giving their daily attendance therein, and 
 taking notice of those that offered their tapers 
 burning; having extinguished the light, carried 
 them to a room below the chapter-house, and 
 there caused them to be melted, to the use 
 of the said dean and canons. And as tor the 
 oblations of money, which were put into an 
 iron box, fixed to the same pillar, under the 
 feet of that image, they were then also de¬ 
 creed q by the before-specified archbishop to the 
 same dean and canons and their successors for 
 ever.

 But, besides the before-specified chapel or 
 altar of our Lady, in the body of the church, as 
 abovesaid, there was another in the New Work 
 (viz. above the quire), whereof the first mention, 
 that I have found', is in anno 13£9 (3 Ed. III.), 
 the then dean (scil. John de Everdon) and 
 canons granting 5 seven tapers, each weighing 
 two pounds, to burn at the celebrations therein, 
 to the honour of God, our Lady, and St. 
 Lawrence; and appointed that the charge ol 
 those tapers should be supported out of the 
 oblations made by good people thereto; who, 
 either for reverence ol those saints, or the 
 images of St. Lawrence, and St. John the Bap¬ 
 tist, standing about that chapel, or of St. Mary 
 Magdalen, on the outside thereof, to the east, 
 had recourse thither.

 So likewise was there an image of our Lady 
 in the said part called the New Work : for 
 it appears 1 , that in 19 Ed. III. Thomas Hat¬ 
 field, Bishop of Durham, granted an indulgence 
 of forty days pardon, to all such, as being truly 
 penitent and confessed of their sins, should come

 In the body of the church, there was also 
 a great Cross; but concerning this, all, that I 
 have found observable, is, u that in 20 Ed. III. 
 one Raphe de Clatford gave two acres of land, 
 lying in Sandon in com. Hertf., towards the 
 maintenance of a taper burning before it.

 So also, towards the great north door, a Cruci¬ 
 fix, whereunto oblations were frequently made, 
 whereof the dean and canons had the benefit; 
 as a decree made by the Pope’s Commissary, 
 in anno 1410 (11 Hen. IV.), manifested). Near 
 unto which place was interred w , under a large 
 marble, the body of Richard Martin, Bishop 
 of Saint David's in Wales, about the latter end 
 of King Edward IV.’s reign; by whom the 
 choristers of this Cathedral had a yearly exhibi¬ 
 tion given unto them 31 for to sing “ Sancte Deus 
 fortis,” &c. before the same crucifix. 
 
 &aint GEckentoalti’s Shrine, 
 
 I now come to the Shrine of Saint Erkenwald 
 (ot whom I have already made some brief men¬ 
 tion), which stood on the east side of the wall 
 above the high altar; the bones of this famous 
 bishop and confessor being, on the 18 kal. of 
 December, anno 1148, (scil. 13 Steph.) translat¬ 
 ed T thither out of the body of the church, where 
 at first he was buried. 
 
 To this Shrine, for the great opinion then had 
 of the miracles wrought thereat, were the ob¬ 
 lations very numerous; and many of them con¬ 
 siderable, as it seems; for I find, that Walter 
 de Thorpe, a canon of this church, by his tes¬ 
 tament 2 bearing date anno 1319, (13 Ed. II.), 
 
 ■ Ex autog. penes prasf. D. et cap.

 gave thereunto all his gold rings and jewels, of 
 what sort soever: and that in 18 Ed. II., the 
 dean and chapter bestowed no small cost in the 
 adorning thereof with gold, silver, and preci¬ 
 ous stones; yet was it not thought sufficient: for 
 in anno 1339 (31 Ed. III.), there were certain 
 covenants a made betwixt the then dean and chap¬ 
 ter, and three goldsmiths of London, whereby they 
 were retained to work upon it for no less than 
 a whole year (beginning at Candlemas), one of 
 them at the wages of 8j. by the week, and the 
 other two at 5s. a piece b : by reason of which 
 lustre, it grew so famed, that on 5 kal. Julii, 
 about three years after, John king of France 
 (being then a prisoner in England), visiting this 
 Cathedral, having heard mass at the high altar, 
 came to it, and made an oblation' of twelve 
 nobles. 
 
 And in anno 1386 (10 Ric. II.), Robert Bray- 
 broke, Bishop of London, by a solemn decree, 
 ordaining J that the days of the conversion and 
 commemoration of Saint Paul, (to whom this 
 church was specially dedicated,) should thence¬ 
 forth be celebrated, throughout his diocese, 
 equally with the highest festivals, joined there^ 
 with the day of the burial of this Saint Erken¬ 
 wald, viz. ult. Aprilis, and the day of his transla¬ 
 tion, viz. 18 kal. Dec. (“ cujus merita gloriosa in 
 eadem ecclesia miraculose coruscant,” as saith 
 the instrument, £< whose glorious merits did 
 shine forth miraculously in this church),” which 
 had anciently been used to be kept holy, as he 
 there affirmeth; but of late neglected: allowing 
 to all those which should so solemnize them 
 an indulgence of forty days pardon, “ verb pceni- 
 tentibus, contritis et confessis,” “ being truly 
 penitent, and confessed of their sins.” 
 
 Which said day of Saint Pauls conversion, 
 though it had not been celebrated througli the 
 whole diocese (as it seemeth) till this decree of 
 Bishop Braybroke, so made as above said: yet, 
 that the solemnizing of it here was not only of 
 great antiquity, but signally famous for the 
 venerableness and state thereof, we have the 
 testimony of a special record'; importing, that 
 King Henry III., by his precept dated at Dover, 
 17th Jan., in the 28th year of his reign, and

 directed to William de Haverhull, then lord 
 treasurer, commanded him to feed fifteen thou¬ 
 sand poor people in Saint Paul's church-yard, 
 upon that festival, and to provide fifteen hun¬ 
 dred tapers, then to be placed within the church; 
 the charge whereof to be allowed out of the 
 profits of the bishoprick of London, at that time 
 in the king’s hands, by the death oi Roger Niger, 
 the late reverend bishop of this see. 
 
 After this, viz. in 15 Ric. II., I find f , that 
 Richard de Preston, a citizen and grocer of 
 London, gave to this Shrine his best sapphire 
 stone, there to remain for curing of infirmities 
 in the eyes; appointing that proclamation should 
 be made of its virtues. And in anno 1393, the 
 same Robert, Bishop of London, to the end that 
 nothing might be deficient at the celebration of 
 those festivals, commanded 8 , that all the clergy 
 of his diocese should repair hither on those days, 
 in their copes, according to the ancient manner and 
 customs used in the processions of this church. 
 
 In anno 1400, Thomas Samkyn, squire to 
 the abbess of Berking, gave also h a silver girdle 
 to this Shrine. About which time it was much 
 repaired, if not new made, as may seem by the 
 several particulars in goldsmith's work and other¬ 
 wise l , then done. 
 
 Of this glorious Shrine, as also of the iron 
 grate which enclosed it, extending to five feet ten 
 inches in height, having locks, keys, closures, 
 and openings, and was also tinned over, I have, 
 in its proper place, exhibited a true representa¬ 
 tion, from the very original draught 11 , made for 
 a direction to the smith that wrought it, which 
 grate weighing 3438 lib. at the rate of Ad. a 
 pound, amounted to 64/. Qs. And that it might 
 be kept in this beautiful condition, Thomas de 
 Evcrc, dean of this Cathedral, in anno 1407, by 
 his testament 1 bequeathed 100/. for the building 
 of houses in Knight Rider Street, to the end that 
 the revenue of them should be employed upon 
 the reparation thereof, and maintenance of lights 
 burning about it, on the two feast days of Saint 
 Erkenwald; as also for support of a chaplain 
 celebrating for the fraternity of that blessed 
 confessor.

 I now come to the Dial belonging to the 
 clock in this church, concerning which there was 
 care taken m in 18 Ed. III., that it should be 
 made with all splendour that might be; which 
 was accordingly performed, having the image of 
 an angel, pointing at the hour, both of the day 
 and night; die charge of which workmanship 
 then amounted to 6 lib. 
 
 Against IProfancrs of tfic Cfutrcfr. 
 
 And that the more reverend esteem might be 
 had of this stately Cathedral, Robert de Bray- 
 broke, Bishop of London, in 9 Rich. II., by a 
 special mandate", upon pain of excommunication, 
 prohibited any buying or selling within it; as also, 
 that no person whatsoever should detile it, or the 
 church-yard, with piss or other excrements; nor 
 presume to shoot arrows, or throw stones at 
 crows, or any birds making nests thereabouts; 
 or to play at ball, either within or without it.

 And in anno 1414, (2 lien. V.), Oct. 15th, 
 Richard Clifford, then Bishop of London, by 
 the consent of the dean and chapter, ordained", 
 that from the first day of December following, 
 begining then at vespers, the solemn celebration 
 of divine service therein, which before that time 
 had been, according to a peculiar form, anciendy 
 used and called “ Usus Sancti Pauli,” should 
 thenceforth be conformable to that of the Church 
 of Salisbury, for all canonical hours, both night 
 and day. 
 
 To take particular notice of die large sums of 
 money, plate, jewels, and other things of worth, 
 which, by offerings at the high altar, and other 
 places of note, they that served in this Cathedral 
 had in those ancient times for their better sup¬ 
 port, would require a volume by itself: I shall 
 therefore make instance but in one p , viz. John

 who, besides what he offered at St. Erkenwald’s 
 shrine (whereof I have already spoke), laid down 
 at the Annunciation twelve nobles ; at the cruci¬ 
 fix, near the north door, twenty-six floren nobles; 
 at his first approach to the high altar, four basins 
 of gold; and at the hearing of mass, after the 
 offertory, gave to the dean, then officiating, five 
 floren nobles, which the said dean, and one 
 John Lyllyngton (the weekly petty canon), his 
 assistant, had. All which being performed, he 
 gave, moreover, in the chapter-house, fifty floren 
 nobles, to be distributed amongst the officers of 
 the church. 
 
 Celebrations of SDbscquicfi. 
 
 Neither was the benefit small which they had, 
 by celebrating the Obsequies of sundry great 
 persons; as of Queen Anne q , wife of King 
 Richard II., whose hearse was adorned with 
 banners of her arms and the king’s: so also of 
 the Earl of St. Paul r , in 11 lien. VI.; of 
 Maximilian the Emperor 1 ; of the Emperor 
 Charles V.'; of Isabel and Joane, wives to the 
 said emperor"; of the Emperor Ferdinand w , 
 brother to the before-specified Charles. 
 
 Of Charles VIII. x , King of France; Anne r , 
 Queen of France, Dutchess and sole heir of Bri- 
 tanny; of Lewis XII., Francis I., and Hen. II., 
 kings likewise of France 2 : so also of Philip*, 
 King of Castile; Ferdinand of Arragon b ; and 
 John, King of Portugal'; and sundry eminent 
 men of our own nation; the mention of whom, 
 for brevity’s sake, I pass by. 
 
 The state and order in performance of which 
 Obsequies, was little inferior to that used at the 
 funerals of those great princes, the church and 
 quire being hung with blacks, and escutcheons 
 of their arms; their hearses set up in wonderful 
 magnificence, adorned with rich banner-rolls, 
 pencils, &c. and environed with barriers, having 
 chief mourners and assistants, accompanied with 
 divers bishops and abbots in pontificalibus: so 
 likewise with ambassadors of foreign princes, and 
 
 many of our English nobility, knights of the 
 garter, lord mayor of London, and the several 
 companies of this great city. And lastly, hav¬ 
 ing solemn service and offerings, with mass on 
 the morrow, as by the manuscript, which I have 
 quoted, doth appear. 
 
 iDlgmtp of tbc "Bishop, iDcan, 
 Canons, etc. 
 
 Touching the Dignity of the Bishop, and what 
 belongs to his office; and so likewise of the Dean, 
 Canons, &c. and all officers belonging to this 
 church; having transcribed from several good 
 authorities what I have met with in relation to 
 them, I shall here, for brevity’s sake, pass them 
 by, referring my reader to the things at large, 
 quoted in the Appendix d e f E : where also are 
 to be found several things h 1 k , setting forth the 
 state 1 of the lands pertaining thereto about the 
 beginning of King Hoary VIII.s time: as also 
 the copy of an m Inventory of the plate and orna¬ 
 ments which, in 7 Edw. VI., were allowed to 
 continue therein. 
 
 €f )t Pcttg Canons. 
 
 I now come to the Petty Canons, which were 
 twelve" in number, and had anciently their ha¬ 
 bitation 0 in distinct houses, some within the 
 precinct of the church-yard, and some without: 
 but at length, through the devotion to God's 
 sendee of divers particular persons, were re¬ 
 duced p together into a common hall or refec¬ 
 tory, where they used to meet and dine; which 
 hall stood q on the north side of the church, and 
 adjoined to a certain place called Pardon 
 Chirch-hagh, whereof I shall speak in due place. 
 Towards the maintenance of these, to sing di¬ 
 vine service daily in this church of St. Paul for 
 the good estate of King Edw. III., and of Queen 
 Philippa, his consort; as also for all their chil¬ 
 dren, during their lives in this world, and more¬ 
 over for their souls after their departure hence,

 and for the souls of all the faithful deceased, it 
 appears, that the said king, in the 40th year ot 
 his reign, gave license' unto one Robert de Ke- 
 teryngham, then Rector of St. Gregory’s, and 
 others, to grant certain messuages and lands of 
 the value of 61. 13s. 4 d. per annum to the Dean 
 and Chapter of Paul’s. But in 18 Rich. II., 
 they obtained the king’s letters patents 5 to be a 
 body politick for the future, and called the Col¬ 
 lege of the Twelve Petty Canons of St. Paul's 
 Church, whereof one to be the warden; as also 
 to have a common seal, &c. At which time, in 
 augmentation of their maintenance, divers lands 
 and rents were by the said king’s license then 
 granted to them: and, for their better support, 
 they had, in 24 Hen. VI., the church of St. 
 Gregory appropriated to them ‘. 
 
 Cfic Cfmntricsb 
 
 Of these, the most ancient (that I have met 
 with), was founded u , as I guess, about the be¬ 
 ginning of King Henry II.'s reign, consisting of 
 one priest, to celebrate divine service for the soul 
 of Master John de London, and for the souls of 
 all the faithful deceased, Alardus being then dean 
 of this church. 
 
 The next was ordained by Richard, sumamed 
 Nigell, Bishop of London, in King Richard I.’s 
 time; who having built two altars in this Cathe¬ 
 dral, the one dedicated to St. Thomas the Mar¬ 
 tyr, and the other to St. Dionys, assigned w eight 
 marks yearly rent, to be received out of the 
 church of Cestrehunt, for the maintenance of 
 two priests eveiy day celebrating thereat; viz. 
 one for the good estate of the King of England, 
 and Bishop of London for the time being; as 
 also for all the congregation of this church, and 
 the faithful parishioners belonging thereto; and the 
 other for the souls of the Kings of England, and 
 Bishops of London, and all the faithful deceas¬ 
 ed : which grant was confirmed by the chapter. 
 
 The next of these chantries was founded by 
 Geffrey de Lucie, Dean of Paul’s in King 
 Henry III.’s time, who gave* to this church his 
 manor house and lands at Acton, reserving 100.?. 
 
 per an. to be paid to a priest celebrating divine 
 service here for the health of his soul, together 
 with the soul of Eustace de Fauconberg, some 
 time Bishop of London, and his successors; as also 
 for the soul of Philip de Fauconberg, Archdea¬ 
 con of Huntendon, and paying 20.?. yearly on 
 the day of his the said Geffrey’s obit, and a 
 mark at the obit of the said Philip de Faucon¬ 
 berg ; which Eustace de Fauconberg, by his last 
 will and testament y , gave to those canons certain 
 lands lying in Stebbenhethe and Fulham, reserv¬ 
 ing five marks per an. to be yearly paid, for the 
 maintenance of a priest perpetually to celebrate 
 divine service for his soul, near to his tomb in 
 this Cathedral. 
 
 About this time did William Mareschall (son 
 to William, Earl of Pembroke) ratify z the grant 
 of Alice his wife, daughter to Baldwin de Bethun, 
 Earl of Albemarle, made to the Dean and chap¬ 
 ter here, of 100.?. yearly rent, issuing out of his 
 manor of Lutone, which she the said Alice had, 
 by her testament, bequeathed for the mainten¬ 
 ance of two priests celebrating divine service 
 daily in this church for the health of her soul, 
 and his the said William’s, his ancestors and 
 successors souls, and all the faithful deceased; 
 adding the grant 1 of 20.?. yearly rent more, to 
 be received out of his mill at Brach, for the 
 health of the soul of her the said Alice; one 
 part whereof to be spent upon a lamp continu¬ 
 ally burning over her tomb, and the residue on 
 the day of her anniversary. 
 
 About the same time, there was likewise a 
 chantry of one priest founded here b , to celebrate 
 divine service for the soul of John Romane, 
 treasurer of York, (afterwards archbishop there). 
 So also another of one priest®, for the soul of 
 Richard, Archdeacon of Colchester. 
 
 In 10 Hen. III. did P. de S. Marias Ecclesia, 
 treasurer of this Cathedral, by his testament d , be¬ 
 queath thereto 20 marks, to provide a yearly rent 
 of 20 sol. for the keeping of his anniversary therein. 
 
 For Martin de Patshul (one of the Justices 
 of the Common Pleas, and Dean of this Church), 
 there was a chantry of two priests ordained 
 here®, 2 Julii, 23 Hen. III., to celebrate divine

 service daily for his soul at the altar of the 
 Apostles. 
 
 And about this time did the executors of Wil¬ 
 liam de Sanct® Mari® Ecclesia, some time dean 
 of this church, assign f a certain proportion of 
 bread and beer, to be yearly paid to a priest, 
 who should for ever celebrate therein for his soul, 
 and for the souls of his predecessors, successors, 
 parents, and benefactors; for the purchasing 
 whereof, they gave to the dean and chapter a 
 hundred and twenty marks. 
 
 In 31 Hen. III., died (as I guess) Alexander 
 de Svvereford, some time a canon and treasurer 
 of this church; for in that year did Hugh de 
 Balsham, Bishop of Ely, grant an indulgence 8 
 of thirty days pardon to all such, as being truly 
 penitent for their sins, and confessed, should 
 repair to the altars of St. Chad, St. Nicolas, 
 and St. Ethelbert the King, situate in this Ca¬ 
 thedral, and there pray for his soul. Which 
 altar of St. Chad he, the said Alexander, built h 
 in his lile-time, and ordained 1 a perpetual chan¬ 
 try of one priest to celebrate daily thereat for his 
 own soul, as also for the souls of his successors, 
 treasurers of this church, and all the faithful 
 deceased, and was buried before it at his death. 
 
 The like indulgence k did the same Bishop of 
 Ely, in an. 1259,- (44 Hen. III.) grant unto all 
 such as should, at the before-specified altars, pray 
 for the soul of Fouk Basset, Bishop of London 
 (and then newly deceased). For the health also 
 of whose soul did Sir Philip Basset of Hedindon, 
 in Com. Oxon. knt., the year next following, 
 gave 1 his manor of Boyton to the dean and 
 chapter of this church, to maintain three priests 
 continually celebrating therein; viz. to each of 
 them 100.?. yearly: adding, moreover m , 100.?. 
 yearly rent, issuing out of lands in Fairstede and 
 Borham (in Com. Essexi®), for the keeping of 
 his anniversary. 
 
 Not long after this, did one Godfrey de Acra 
 (a priest) give" to the before-mentioned dean and 
 canons certain houses and rents, lying in the 
 parish of St. Faith, to find a chaplain perpetu¬ 
 ally celebrating for the souls of the dead, and 
 
 especially for his own soul, after his departure 
 out of this world, within the chapel of St. James, 
 situate under the cross in the north part of this 
 church. 
 
 And about the same time there was another 
 chantry founded 0 at the altar of St. Radegund, 
 in this Cathedral, for the soul of one Roger, 
 sometime a canon here, and certain rents assigned 
 for the keeping of his anniversary. 
 
 In 2 Ed. I., another 1 * of one priest, celebrat¬ 
 ing at the before-specified altar of St. Chad, for 
 the soul of William de Havirhulle, some time lord- 
 treasurer of England, and a canon of this church. 
 
 In 3 Ed. I. there was likewise a chantry of 
 one chaplain, founded q at the altar of St. John 
 the Evangelist by Hervey de Borham, then dean 
 of this Cathedral, for to pray for the soul of 
 John de Brainlord. Shortly after which the 
 said Hervey died, as it seems; for in the next 
 ensuing year, did Robert Kilwarby, Archbishop 
 of Canterbury, grant an indulgence r of 15 days 
 pardon to all such as being heartily penitent of 
 their sins, and truly confessed, should come 
 hither (his body being here interred) and pray for 
 his soul. 
 
 In 7 Ed. I. another chantry was here found¬ 
 ed * by Roger de la Leye, Archdeacon of Essex, 
 for one priest to celebrate divine service for his 
 soul at the altar before which he should be 
 buried; and an assignation of a certain annuity 
 for the keeping of his obit: which Roger became 1 
 afterwards dean of this Cathedral, and died* 
 about ten years following. 
 
 In 8 Ed. I., Isabel, the widow of Stephen 
 Bokerell, constituted w a chantry of two priests at 
 the altar before which he the said Stephen lay 
 interred, to celebrate for his and her soul; as 
 also for the souls of their children, viz. Stephen, 
 Andrew, and William Bokerell. 
 
 And in 10 Ed. I. there was another chantry 
 founded x for one priest, for the soul of Aveline, 
 the widow of Walter de Basingges: which Ave¬ 
 line I take to be the same woman, who, the 
 next ensuing year, is, in the like foundation, 
 called Avelina de S. Olavo.

 In 16 Ed. I. the executors of John de S. 
 Maria, some time a canon here, granted to the 
 dean and chapter of this church certain annual 
 rents, issuing out of divers tenements in London, 
 to find a priest to celebrate therein for his soul, 
 and assigned 15.?. yearly, for the keeping of his 
 obit. 
 
 In 26 Ed. I. there was a chantry of one 
 priest celebrating at the altar of St. John Baptist, 
 founded 1 by Raphe dc Baudak, then Dean of this 
 Cathedral, for the soul of Fouk Lovel, Arch¬ 
 deacon of Colchester, at the instance of his 
 executors. 
 
 As also another 2 chantry of one priest, to 
 celebrate within this church, at some altar, for 
 the soul of John Lovell, clerk, one of the kings 
 justices; as also for the soul of Richard de 
 Gravesend, at that time Bishop of London, and 
 for the souls of his predecessors and successors; 
 of which bishop I shall say more anon. 
 
 And in the same year, the like 1 for two priests 
 for the soul of Henry de Wengham, some time 
 Bishop of London, and Chancellor of England. 
 
 In 29 Hen. I., another b of one priest, to sing 
 divine service perpetually at the altar of the 
 blessed Virgin, opposite to the door of the 
 chapter-house, for the souls of Robert de 
 Draiton, some time treasurer of this church; 
 and John de Chishull, heretofore Bishop of 
 London, and Chancellor of England. 
 
 In 30 Ed. I. the like chantry was ordained c 
 by the executors of William de Harworth, clerk, 
 of one priest, to celebrate divine service here for 
 the soul of the said William. 
 
 In 35 Ed. I. the executors of Master Re¬ 
 ginald de Brandon constituted d another, for one 
 priest to celebrate perpetually for his soul within 
 the New Work, (viz. eastwards of the quire). 
 
 In 3 Ed. II. there was the like ordination 6 
 for two priests within the body of the church, 
 for the soul of Richard de Newport, Archdea¬ 
 con of Middlesex, and forty shillings yearly 
 assigned for his obit. 
 
 In 4 Ed. II. the like r chantry of one priest, 
 for the soul of John de Munden, clerk. 
 
 In 7 Ed. II., Hervey de Stanton, one of the 
 justices of the Common Pleas, and the rest of 
 his then fellows in that court, being executors to 
 Henry de Geldeford, (called le Mareschal,) 
 clerk, founded 8 another for one chaplain and 
 his clerk, to sing mass every day at the altar of 
 the Apostles for the soul of the said Henry. 
 
 The next year following there was another 
 chantry of one priest, constituted h by the before- 
 specified dean and chapter, for the soul ot 
 Richard de Gravesend, then one of their canons, 
 and treasurer of this Cathedral, against he should 
 depart this life, and 40s. yearly assigned for 
 the keeping of his anniversary. 
 
 In 10 Ed. II., Raphe Donion, one also of 
 the then canons, by his testament 1 , gave 100 
 marks to purchase yearly rent, for to sustain a 
 priest daily celebrating in this church for his 
 soul, and the souls of all his parents. 
 
 And in 13 Ed. II., Walter de Thorpe, (one 
 also of these canons,) bequeathing his body to be 
 buried here, or in the place called Pardon- 
 Church-haw, fast by, gave 11 240 marks to buy 
 lands, to ordain a chantry for his soul, and to 
 keep his obit: adding the gift of 100s. to the 
 work of St. Erkenwald’s shrine; as also all his 
 rings and jewels, of what kind soever, thereto: 
 which chantry was accordingly founded *, in 
 7 Ed. III., by his executors, at the altar of 
 St. John, in the New Work. 
 
 In 14 Ed. II., the executors of Raphe de 
 Baldok, Bishop of London, settled m lands on the 
 dean and chapter of this Cathedral, for the 
 maintenance of two priests, perpetually cele¬ 
 brating for his soul at the altar of St. Erken- 
 wald, within the New Work; as also for the 
 soul of John de Chishul, some time Bishop of 
 London: and moreover for the souls of the 
 Kings of England, and all the faithful deceased; 
 giving a munificent legacy, not only to those of 
 the quire, but to all the officers of the church, 
 for the solemnizing his yearly obit on the eve of 
 St. James the Apostle, with an ample allowance 
 thereat, to the poor. Which bishop was so 
 great a furthcrer of that stately building, east-

 ward from the quire, called the New Work, as 
 that he gave" in his life-time 200 marks, and left 
 a great sum thereto at his death; for which 
 respect he was buried in the midst of that part 
 called our Lady Chapel, at the head of Bishop 
 Braybroke’s tomb-stone, under a goodly marble, 
 whereon his portraiture in brass was curiously 
 represented, though afterwards torn away. To 
 whom succeeded Gilbert de Segrave; which 
 Gilbert, on the morrow before the kal. of Ja¬ 
 nuary, next ensuing the death 0 of his said pre¬ 
 decessor, for the great respect he bore unto him, 
 gave a special indulgence of forty days pardon to 
 all such as being truly contrite for their sins, 
 and confessed, should say a Pater noster and an 
 Ave for his soul. And that this worthy person 
 (sc. Raphe de Baldock) had no less esteem with 
 the rest of his fellow bishops, the like indulgen¬ 
 ces, from Walter Archbishop of Canterbury, 
 John Bishop of Lincoln, Walter Bishop of 
 Exeter, John Bishop of Landaff, John Bishop 
 of Ely, John Bishop of Norwich, John Bishop 
 of Chichester, David Bishop of St. David’s, 
 Walter Bishop of Worcester, and John Bi¬ 
 shop of Karleol, granted about that time, do 
 sufficiently manifest. 
 
 In 15 Ed. II. there was another chantry 
 founded p within the before-specified building, 
 called the New Work, at the altar of St. Mi¬ 
 chael, by the executors of William de Chalde- 
 shunt, some time a canon of this church, for 
 one priest to celebrate daily thereat for his soul; 
 as also for the souls of Piers de Gaveston, and all 
 the faithful deceased. 
 
 And about the same time, another, at the altar 
 of St. Sylvester, of one chaplain, constituted q 
 by the testament of Walter de Blockley, to pray 
 for the soul of him the said Walter, and all Chris¬ 
 tian souls: which two last-mentioned chantries 
 were afterward united r . 
 
 In the same 15th year of King Edw. II., did 
 Nicolas de Wokyndon, by his testament 5 de¬ 
 vise 100.9. to the before-specified building, called 
 the New Work, in regard that in it he intended 
 to be buried, and to maintain a chantry priest 
 therein, celebrating for his soul, bequeathed certain 
 lands lying in the parish of St. Olaft' (London),

 to the dean and chapter of this church. And 
 moreover, for the like consideration, gave a 100/. 
 to purchase rents for the finding of another 
 chantry priest at the altar of St. Thomas, and 
 to the keeping his obit, and the obit of Joan, his 
 wife, for ever. 
 
 In 19 Ed. II. Roger de Waltham, a canon 
 of this church, enfeoft 1 the dean and chapter 
 of certain messuages and shops lying within the 
 city ot London, for the support of two priests to 
 pray perpetually for his soul, and for the souls 
 of his parents and benefactors, within the chapel 
 of St. John Baptist in the south part of this 
 Cathedral; as also for the soul of Anthony Beck, 
 Patriarch of Jerusalem, and Bishop of Durham. 
 
 And further directed u , that out of the revenue 
 of those messuages, &c. there should be a yearly 
 allowance to the said dean and chapter, to keep 
 solemn processions in this church on the several 
 days of the invention and exaltation of the Holy 
 Cross, as also of St. John Baptist; wearing their 
 copes at those times in such sort as they used on 
 all the great festivals: and likewise out of his 
 high devotion to the service of God, and that it 
 should be the more venerably performed therein, 
 he gave divers costly vestments thereto, some 
 whereof were set with precious stones, expressly 
 directing, that in all masses wherein himself by 
 particular name was to be commended, as also 
 at his anniversary, and in those festivals of the 
 Holy Cross, St. John Baptist, and St. Laurence 
 the deacon, they should be used. 
 
 And moreover, out of his abundant piety, 
 founded x a certain Oratory on the south side of 
 the quire in this Cathedral, towards the upper 
 end thereof, to the honour of God, our Lady, 
 St. Laurence, and All-Saints, and adorned it with 
 the images of our blessed Saviour, St. John 
 Baptist, St. Laurence, and St. Mary Magdalen; 
 so likewise with the pictures of the celestial 
 Hierarchy, the joys of the blessed Virgin, and 
 others, both in the roof about the altar, and 
 other places within and without: in which oratory 
 the chantry before mentioned was placed, and 
 the said anniversary to be kept. And, (lastly, 
 in the south wall, opposite to the said oratory, 
 erected a glorious tabernacle, which contained

 the image of the said blessed Virgin, sitting as 
 it Mere in child-bed; as also of our Saviour in 
 swaddling clothes, lying between the ox and the 
 ass; and St. Joseph at her feet: above which 
 was another image of ha', standing with the 
 child in her arms. And on the beam, thwarting 
 from the upper end of the oratory to the before- 
 specified child-bed, placed the crowned images 
 of our Saviour and his mother sitting in one 
 tabernacle; as also the images of St. Katharine 
 and St. Margaret, virgins and martyrs: neither 
 was there any part of the said oratory, or roof 
 thereof, but he caused it to be beautified with 
 comely pictures and images, to the end that the 
 memory of our blessed Saviour and his saints, 
 and specially of the glorious Virgin, his mother, 
 might be always the more famous: in which 
 oratory he designed that his sepulture should be. 
 
 In 8 Ed. III., William de Meleford, Arch¬ 
 deacon of Colchester, and Canon of this Church, 
 by his testament r desiring sepulture in that part 
 thereof called the New Work, near the tomb of 
 John de Munden, (of whom I have already made 
 mention,) gave to the support of the old build¬ 
 ing 40$., and as much to the new; besides the 
 like sum for the ornament of St. Erkenwald’s 
 shrine. And for the foundation of a chantry at 
 the altar of St. John Baptist in the said new 
 work, consisting of one chaplain, to celebrate 
 divine service perpetually for his soul, gave a 
 certain tenement, which he had newly purchased 
 of John de Lanfare, a cutler of London. 
 
 After this, viz. in 17 Ed. III., there was 
 another chantry ordained 2 in the body of this 
 church, of one priest, to celebrate therein for 
 the soul of James Frisell the elder; as also for 
 the souls of Robert Frisell his father, Alice his 
 mother, and Isabel his daughter. 
 
 And in 19 Ed. III. the like chantry of one 
 priest*, constituted at the altar of St. John in the 
 New Work, for the soul of Geffrey de Eyton, 
 some time a canon of this church, and the yearly 
 rent of 40$. assigned for the keeping of his anni¬ 
 versary within the octaves of the Epiphany. 
 
 And, that it may appeal' how great an esteem 
 this eminent Cathedral then had, it will not be 
 improper to take notice, that Sir John Pultney, 
 knight, a man famous in those days for his wealth 
 
 y Ex autog. penis praf. D. et cap. 2 Ibid. 
 
 Pat. 18 Hen. VI. p. 2. m. 18. 
 
 and w isdom, (having been four times lord mayor 
 of this great city,) though he disposed of his 
 body to sepulture within the church of St. Lau¬ 
 rence in Candlewick Street, (commonly called 
 St. Laurence Pultney,) which he founded, by his 
 testament b bearing date 14 Nov. £3 Ed. III., 
 thus expresseth: “ Volo quod in Ecclesia Sancti 
 Pauli Lond. quam sicuti matrein meam affectione 
 filiali cupio honorare, sint tres perpetui sacer- 
 dotes,” &c. i. e. “ I will and ordain, that in the 
 Church of St. Paul in London, which, as my 
 mother, I desire to honour with a filial affection, 
 there be three priests celebrating divine service 
 in a certain chapel, newly to be built at my 
 costs, in the north part thereof. In which 
 chapel, my desire is, that one of those priests 
 shall every day say the mass of the blessed 
 Virgin for my soul; and the other two, that of 
 the office for the dead, for my soul likewise, and 
 for the souls of Adam my father, Maud my 
 mother, Margaret my wife, William my son, 
 and the souls of my brothers and sisters: and, 
 moreover, for the souls of Rose de Burford, 
 Raphe de Walcote, John de Stretford, late 
 Archbishop of Canterbury; with the souls of my 
 parents, benefactors, and all the faithful de¬ 
 ceased.” Adding this farther direction ; viz. that 
 every of those priests, in their several masses, 
 in saying of one collect, should make special 
 mention of his soul. 
 
 And, for the solemn performance of his anni¬ 
 versary, assigned particular yearly pittances to 
 the principal canons; so also to the petty-canons, 
 vicars-choral, and officers of the church; ap¬ 
 pointing, that the lord mayor, being thereat, 
 should have 6s. 8 d., the recorder 5s., the two 
 sheriffs 6s. 8 d., the common crier 3s. 4d., the 
 lord mayor’s sergeants 6s. 8 d., and the master 
 of the college of St. Laurence Pultney 6s. 8 d. 
 But if any of these should be absent, then their 
 portion to be distributed to the poor: and, fur¬ 
 thermore, bequeathed the yearly sum of £0s. to 
 the almoner of this church, to be by him be¬ 
 stowed on the summer habits of the choristers, 
 upon condition that they, the said choristers, 
 should every day, after compline ended in the 
 quire, go into the before-specified chapel, so 
 intended by him to be built, and sing an anthem

 of the blessed Virgin, before her image there 
 being, solemnly with note: which being ended, 
 one of them to say the prayer of the said Virgin, 
 next the psalm of “ De profund is,” and then the 
 prayer for the dead: and, lastly, these words: 
 “ Anima Johannis dc Pultoney, fundatoris hujus 
 capella?, et animas omnium fidclium defunctorum, 
 per Dei misericordiam requiescant in pace.” 
 
 For accomplishment of all which, he gave c 
 certain lands and rents, lying within the said 
 city of London, to the warden and chaplains of 
 the before-specified college in Candlewick Street, 
 who by indenture demised them to the dean and 
 canons of this Cathedral, to undergo that task. 
 
 And in 27 Ed. III., Gilbert de Bruera, Dean 
 of this Cathedral, bequeathing d his body to be 
 buried in the chapel of St. Katharine, newly 
 built by him therein, gave certain tenements, 
 situate on Paul’s Wharf, to maintain a priest 
 to celebrate divine service perpetually in that 
 chapel for the health of his soul, and for the 
 souls of his parents, assigning a particular yearly 
 sum to be paid to the successive deans and 
 canons of this church, for the keeping of his 
 anniversary.

 perfecta venia peccatorum, concedas nos ad 
 tuam misericordiam pervenire, et frui beatitudine, 
 tuis electis perhenniter repromissa.” 
 
 Other particulars most observable therein are 
 these: first, the assignation of his sepulture, 
 close by the tomb of Henry de Sandwiche, (his 
 predecessor,) whom he acknowledgeth to have 
 been his raiser; and that the marble to cover 
 his grave should not lie higher than the other 
 adjoining pavement. Then, that his personal 
 estate, (consisting in books, household goods, 
 stock of corn and cattle, &c.,) amounted to the 
 value of two thousand marks, out of which he 
 gave, for the solemnizing of his funeral, and to 
 be distributed to the poor, 140/. Next, his 
 gift of 100 marks to the new fabrick of this 
 church, which he had formerly promised : and, 
 lastly, his appointment, that lands of 10/. per 
 ann. value should be bought within the city of 
 London, for the founding of a chantry here for 
 his soul, and the keeping of his anniversary.

 Being now come, in course of time, to that 
 chantry of tw r o priests, which was founded® 
 here 6 kal. Mail, an. 1360, (34 Ed. III.,) by 
 the executors of Stephen de Gravesend Bishop 
 of London, for the health of the soul of the said 
 Stephen, and for the soul likewise of Richard 
 de Gravesend, his uncle, who was Bishop also 
 of London in King Edw. I.’s time; I shall here 
 presume to digress a little, in taking notice of 
 the several Testaments, &c. of these two reverend 
 bishops, beginning with that of Richard, w r hich 
 bears date at Haringeye f , (a manor-house be¬ 
 longing to this see,) pridie id. Sept. an. 1302, 
 (30 Edw r . I.,) wherein his devotion and piety are 
 not a little observable: for, as I find 5 it penned 
 with his own hand, he thus expresses himself: 
 “ Imprimis, tibi, O pie Redemptor, et potens 
 Salvator animarum, Domine Jesu Christe, ani- 
 mam meam commendo: Tibi etiam, 6 summe 
 Sacerdos et vere Pontifex animarum, commendo 
 
 R)i0 3lMicntorp. 
 
 Thus far from his testament. I come now 
 to the Inventory 11 ; out of which it is not un¬ 
 worthy of note, that of this his personal estate, 
 his silver vessel amounted to 214/. 13s. 11 d., 
 the prices of com, and other things, being then 
 therein rated as followeth : 
 
 ( Wheat at 4s. 
 
 Malt ground, 3s 
 Pease, 2s. 6d. 
 
 Oats, 2s. 
 
 And finally, to the account 5 of his executors, 
 by which it appeareth, that he died at his manor- 
 house at Fulham, December 9, anno 1303. 
 That afterwards, scil. December 15 following, 
 his body was brought to London, with the 
 weight of twelve hundred pounds and a half in 
 w’axen tapers, which were employed at the so¬ 
 lemnizing of his funeral, the day following, in 
 this Cathedral; and that a marble stone of 10/. 
 price was laid over his grave.

 It seems that the entertainment then given 
 was very large; for, besides the costs in bread,

 the expense in swans, hens, and rabbits, amount¬

 I come now to his nephew, Stephen de Graves¬ 
 end ; of whom I have no more than this to say, 
 viz. that by his testament 1 , bearing date 19 Feb- 
 ruarii, anno 1336, (10 Ed. III.,) he bequeathed 
 his body to be buried in this Church of St. Paul, 
 near to the tomb of his uncle Richard, before 
 remembered; appointing 100 marks only, for 
 the expenses at his funeral, “ quia, secundum 
 Augustinum,” (saith lie,) “ pompa funeris, agmina 
 exequiarum, sunt vivorum qualiacunque solatia, 
 non adjutoria mortuorum.” “ Because,” (accord¬ 
 ing to St. Augustin,) “ funeral pomp, and troops of 
 mourners, are only certain comforts to the living, 
 but of no advantage to the deadand directed, 
 that no more than twenty-four tapers should be 
 about his body; prohibiting any money to be then 
 given to the poor; but, instead thereof, 100/. to 
 be disposed amongst the poor tenants within his 
 several lordships.

 Returning now to the succeeding chantries, as 
 they were founded in order of time, the next 
 wherewith I meet, is that of Michael de North- 
 burgh, likewise Bishop of London; who, by his 
 testament 1 ", bearing date 10 kal. Junii, anno 
 1361, (35 Ed. III.,) directed, that a chaplain 
 
 . k Hornsey, juxta Ilighgate. * Ibid. 
 
 0 Ex autog. pen£s praf. D. et cap. p Ibid. 
 
 should be appointed by his successors, Bishops 
 of London, to celebrate divine service for his 
 soul in this church ; and gave the rent of certain 
 houses, (which he had builded on the west side 
 of his palace,) for his support: unto which 
 chantry, in regard the revenues thereof were 
 afterwards thought too little, that of Henry de 
 Iddisworth, (the priest celebrating for them both 
 at the altar of St. James,) was added n . 
 
 jFuneraL 
 
 But with the only mention of this chantry, I 
 must not leave this worthy Bishop, having some 
 other things of note to observe, in reference to 
 his memory: whereof the first is, the place of 
 his sepulture, which he appointed 0 to be at the 
 entrance into this Cathedral, without the great 
 west door: secondly, that for a stone to cover 
 his grave, whereon to be an inscription, that 
 might put passengers in mind to pray, he be¬ 
 queathed 20/. N ext, for the order of his Funeral, 
 he directed p that 20 poor men should be clothed 
 in gowns of black, white, or gray cloth; every 
 of them holding in his hand, about the hearse, a 
 torch of at least six pound weight, in wax: and 
 that thus, with eight more tapers about the 
 corpse, his exequies in this church should pass 
 for that day: especially desiring, if possible, that 
 this should be performed before his face were 
 tainted with any corruption, so that it might be 
 exposed to view, with the arms and ensigns of 
 his bishoprick.

 As for his legacies q , I shall only take notice 
 of these following, which were very signal. The 
 first was no less than the sum of two thousand 
 pounds, for the founding, building, and finish¬ 
 ing of the house of Carthusians, (commonly 
 called the Charter-House,) according to the form 
 and fashion proper for that order, in a certain 
 place called New Chirche Hawe, where then 
 stood a church dedicated to the annunciation of 
 the blessed Virgin. Which place, with the 
 patronage thereof, he purchased of Sir Walter 
 Manny, knight And to the said house, when 
 fully perfected, he appointed, that his two best.

 silver basins should be delivered for to serve at 
 the altar there, with a vessel of silver enamelled 
 (in which the Host used to be put). As also 
 another vessel of silver, for holy water, and a 
 silver bell. 
 
 To the better accomplishing of which pious 
 work, and more ample endowment of that house, 
 he likewise devised r all his leases whatsoever, 
 for the term of four years after his decease : and, 
 moreover, all his rents and tenements which he pos¬ 
 sessed within the city of London, .with whatsoever 
 reversions he had likewise in that city, he gave 
 thereunto for ever, some few excepted. Here¬ 
 unto he also added the total number of all his 
 divinity books, not otherwise disposed of, with 
 the two best vestments that he had; bequeathing 
 the perpetual patronage thereof to his successors, 
 Bishops of London; and desiring, with all humi¬ 
 lity, that they would have a special regard to the 
 building and completing of this eminent work. 
 
 Which place, where this famous monastery 
 stood, is near Smithfield, in the suburbs of 
 London; but now called Sutton’s Hospital, for 
 the most part; by reason that, of late time, the 
 same hospital was built out of the ruins of this 
 religious house, by Thomas Sutton, Esq. 
 
 The other legacy 5 of this worthy bishop, was 
 of a thousand marks, to be put into a chest, 
 standing in the treasury of this church; out of 
 which any poor layman might, for a sufficient 
 pledge, borrow 10/., the dean and principal 
 canons 20/., or 40 marks, upon the like pledge; 
 the bishop 40/. or near 50/., other noblemen or 
 citizens 20/., for the term of a year; and if, at 
 the year's end, payment were not made of any 
 sum so borrowed, then that the preacher at 
 Paul's Cross should in his sermon declare, that 
 the pledge within fourteen days would be sold, 
 if the borrower did not forthwith redeem it: and 
 being accordingly sold, he appointed that the 
 surplusage, if there were any, should be restored 
 to the owner, or to his executors; but in case he 
 had none, then to be returned into the said chest, 
 for the health of his soul, unless the bishop and 
 dean, with the warden of the old fabrick, should 
 think fit to employ it to other uses: one key of 
 which chest to be kept by the said dean; an¬ 
 
 other by the eldest canon-resident; and the third 
 by the said warden. 
 
 In the same 35th year before specified, there 
 was a chantry founded * at the altar of St. John 
 the Evangelist, before which the body of Walter 
 Neel, citizen and cutler of London, with Alice 
 his wife, lay interred, for one priest to celebrate 
 divine service thereat, for the souls of the said 
 Walter and Alice; and provision made for the 
 keeping of their anniversary every year on the 
 eve of the assumption of the blessed Virgin. 
 
 The like chantry, about the same time, was 
 ordained" for the soul of Nicolas de Farendon, 
 and William Viel, at the altar of St. Dunstan 
 in the New Work; before which altar the body 
 of the said Nicolas lay buried. 
 
 The next year following, I find another chan¬ 
 try, constituted w by the executors of Henry de 
 Chaddesden, some time Archdeacon of Leices¬ 
 ter, at the altar of St. Thomas the Martyr, 
 before which he the said Henry was interred, for 
 two priests to celebrate thereat perpetually, for 
 the good estate of King Edw. III. during his life 
 in this world, and for his soul after his departure 
 hence; as also for the soul of the said Henry, 
 the souls of Richard and Agnes, his parents, and 
 ol Nicolas, his uncle. And, moreover, an assig¬ 
 nation x of a certain yearly rent, for keeping the 
 obit of him the said Henry, on the 8th day of 
 May, for ever. 
 
 In 43 Ed. III., the dean and canons of this 
 church having received a sum of money at the 
 hands of the executors of John Hiltoft, which 
 they employed in building and reparation of 
 certain decayed houses, ordained 7 a chantry of 
 one chaplain, to celebrate divine service daily in 
 St. Dunstan’s Chapel, for the soul of the said 
 John, and all Christian souls. 
 
 And not long after this, did Adam de Bury, 
 citizen and merchant of London, (who under¬ 
 went the office of lord mayor in anno 13b4,) 
 by his testament ordain z , that out of his per¬ 
 sonal estate, there should be provision made, for 
 to find three chaplains, perpetually to celebrate 
 divine service, after his death, in a certain chapel 
 newly built within this Cathedral, near the north 
 door thereof, behind the cross, for the health of

 %\)t ^tstorp of 
 
 his soul, and the souls of all the faithful de¬ 
 ceased ; and appointed these his executors, viz. 
 Roger Holme, a canon of this church, Adam 
 Holme, brother to the said Roger, and John 
 Pi ryw ell, his nephew : which said executors did, 
 by their deed, bearing date ult. April an. 1376, 
 assign unto the said Dean and Chapter of Paul’s 
 divers lands and rents, for the maintenance of 
 the said chaplains. 
 
 And after this, the said Roger Holme, being 
 Chancellor of London, as also a canon-resident, 
 and prebend of Kentishtown, before the death 
 of the before-specified testator, increased 1 these 
 chantry-priests to the number of seven, to cele¬ 
 brate for ever in the said chapel, dedicated to 
 the honour of the Holy Ghost; towards the 
 building whereof he was at extraordinary costs: 
 and not only so, but did restore b and establish a 
 certain 'chantry of one priest, for the soul of 
 John de Wengham, some time chief chanter in 
 this Cathedral; which chantry was then utterly 
 come to nothing. 
 
 In 10 Rich. II., Sir John de Beauchamp of 
 Powyk, (in Com. Wigom.) knt., executor c of 
 the testament to the famous Sir John de Beau¬ 
 champ, (a younger son to Guy de Beauchamp, 
 Earl of Warwick,) one of the founders of the 
 most noble Order of the Garter, considering 
 with himself 11 , that the said Sir John had, by 
 the license of King Edward III., granted certain 
 tenements, lying within the parish of St. Mary, 
 Aldermanbury, within the city of London, to 
 the dean and chapter of this church, to the 
 intent that a chantry-priest should be by them 
 maintained, to celebrate divine service therein 
 for the health of his own soul, and the souls of 
 his noble progenitors, (the Earls of Warwick,) 
 for ever: and that, in respect of some difficulties, 
 the grant had not as yet taken effect, did by his 
 deed*, bearing date 5 Februarii, the year above- 
 said, settle ten marks yearly rent, issuing out of 
 the said tenements, on the said dean and canons, 
 to find and maintain one priest, perpetually, to 
 celebrate for his soul at that little altar, situate near 
 to the tomb of the said Sir John de Beauchamp 
 in the body of this Cathedral, (an exact repre¬ 
 sentation whereof I have in its due place exhi¬ 
 bited): as also 50s. yearly, for the keeping of

 his anniversary on the third day of December. 
 Which noble knight departed f this world in Lent, 
 anno 1374, (48 Ed. III.) 
 
 But forasmuch as shortly after this, upon a 
 visitation here made by Robert de Braybroke, 
 Bishop of London, in 14 Rich. II., it appeared 8 , 
 that divers of these chantries before mentioned 
 were so slenderly endowed, that divine service 
 could not be maintained thereby, according to 
 the tenour of their foundations: the said bishop, 
 therefore, for the better benefit of this church, 
 and the performance of those duties as should be 
 most to the honour of God, by special license 
 from the king, did incorporate these here fol¬ 
 lowing, whose revenues were then certified, as I 
 have here noted, viz. that of Eustace de Fau- 
 conberge at five marks; that of John Romane at 
 six marks; that of Martin de Patshul at one hun¬ 
 dred shillings; that of Fouke and Philip Basset 
 at one hundred shillings; that of William de 
 Ilaverhull at six marks; that of Alexander de 
 Swereford at five marks; that of Roger de la 
 Leye at six marks and eight shillings; that of 
 Fouke Lovell at eight marks; that of Henry de 
 Wengham at twelve marks; that of William de 
 Ilanvorth at forty shillings; that of Raphe de 
 Baldok at twelve marks; that of Roger de Wal¬ 
 tham at ten pounds; that of Walter de Thorpe 
 at nine marks; that of John Munden at eight 
 marks; that of Nicolas de Wokyndon at ten 
 pounds; that of Aveline de St. Olave at three 
 marks; that of James Frisell at six marks ; that 
 of Hamon Chickwell at forty shillings; that of 
 Isabel Bokerell at six marks ; that of Alan Basset 
 and Avelina, (progenitors to Fouke Basset, some 
 time Bishop of London,) at seven marks; that 
 for the ancestors of St. Roger, Bishop of Lon¬ 
 don, at six marks ; that of Richard de Gloucestre 
 at seven marks; that of Richard Foliot at six 
 marks; that of Walter de Blokeley at nine marks; 
 that of Henry de Idesworth at one hundred shil¬ 
 lings; that of Michael de Northburgh at five 
 marks; those two of Richard de Newport at 
 seven pounds; that of Richard de Androver at

 After which union there were divers other 
 chantries founded here, but much better endowed 
 than those before mentioned : for in 4 Hen. IV., 
 the king by his letters patents ! reciting his license 
 already granted to Raphe Earl of Westmorland, 
 Thomas Earl of Worcester, and others, execu¬ 
 tors to John Duke of Aquitane and Lancaster, 
 (his dear father,) for their founding a Chantry 
 in a certain chapel, situate on the north side the 
 quire of this church, and opposite to the tomb 
 of the said duke and the Lady Blanch his 
 wife, mother to the same king; which chapel was 
 then newly built: as also another Chantry in the 
 collegiate church of our Lady at Leicester, called 
 the New Work, for two priests to celebrate 
 divine service for the good estate of the said king 
 during his life in this world, and afterwards for 
 the health of his soul, and the souls of his said 
 father and mother; and, moreover, for the soul 
 of the Lady Constance, former wife to the 
 said duke, whose body lieth interred k in the 
 same collegiate church, gave farther license to 
 the said executors, that they might purchase 
 lands to the value of 40/. per annum, for support 
 of the said Chantries, and to keep the anniver¬ 
 saries of his said father and mother. 
 
 About the same time did the then Bishop of 
 London, (scil. Robert de Braybroke,) grant 1 unto 
 the priests for this Chantry here in Paul’s, a 
 certain piece of ground, part of his old palace, 
 containing in length thirty-six feet, and in 
 breadth nineteen, for their habitation. 
 
 And in 10 Hen. IV., the said king gave™ to 
 
 the dean and chapter of this Cathedral, and 
 their successors for ever, divers messuages and 
 lands, lying within the city of London, for the 
 anniversary of the said John Duke of Lancaster, 
 (his father,) on the fourth day of February, and 
 of Blanch his mother, on the twelfth day of 
 September, yearly, in this church, with Placebo 
 and Dirige, nine Antiphones, nine Psalms, and 
 nine Lessons in the exequies of either of them; 
 as also Mass of Requiem, with note, on the mor¬ 
 row, to be performed at the high altar for ever: 
 and, moreover, to distribute unto the said dean 
 and chapter these several sums; viz. to the dean, 
 as often as he shall be present, three shillings 
 and tour-pence; to the principal canons twenty 
 pence (to the sum of sixteen shillings and eight- 
 pence) ; to the pettv-canons ten shillings; to the 
 chaplains twenty shillings; to the vicars four 
 shillings and eight-pence; to the choristers two shil¬ 
 lings and sixpence; to the vergers twelve-pence ; 
 to the bell-ringers four-pence; to the keeper of 
 the lamps about the tomb of the said duke and 
 dutchess, at each of their said anniversaries, six¬ 
 pence; to the Mayor of London for the time 
 being, in respect of his presence at the said anni¬ 
 versaries, three shillings and four-pence; to the 
 Sheriffs of London, likewise present, three shil¬ 
 lings and four-pence; to the Bishop of London, 
 for the rent of the house wherein the said chantry 
 priests did reside, ten shillings: and for to find 
 eight great tapers to bum about that tomb on the 
 day of the said anniversaries, at the exequies, 
 and mass on the morrow, and likewise at the 
 processions, masses, and vespers, on every great 
 festival, and upon Sundays at the procession, 
 mass, and second vespers, for ever. And, lastly, 
 to provide for those priests belonging to that 
 chapel on the north part of the said tomb, a 
 certain chalice, missal, and portvoise, according 
 to the Ordinale Sarum ; as also vestments, bread, 
 wine, wax, and glasses, and other ornaments and 
 necessaries for the same, and repair of their 
 mansion. 
 
 In the same 10th year of Henry IV., did the 
 king grant license" to Beatrice, the widow of 
 Sir Thomas de Ros of Hamlake, knt., William 
 Gascoine, Richard Norton, and Richard Gas- 
 coine, to found a Chantry of one priest within 
 
 Pat. 4 Hen. IV. p. 2. m. 35. k This contradicts the tablet hanging by his monument.

 ley, knt., as also of the father and mother of the 
 said Richard, and likewise of Richard de Pen- 
 bruge, and the said Thomas de Ros, his parents, 
 and all the faithful deceased: and, finally, for 
 the good estate of her the said Beatrice during 
 this life, and her soul afterwards; and to grant 
 twelve marks per ann. rent, issuing out of certain 
 messuages and shops in London, for the main¬ 
 tenance of the said priest. 
 
 The next year following there was a Chantry 
 of one priest, founded 0 by Walter Cooke and 
 others, the executors of Thomas de Evere, late 
 Dean of Pauls, to celebrate divine service for 
 the soul of the said Thomas, and all the faith¬ 
 ful deceased, within the chapel of St. Thomas 
 the Martyr, in the New Work, for ever; and 
 for keeping his obit there. 
 
 In 13 Hen. IV., there was another Chantry 
 of two priests, founded p in that chapel, on the 
 north side of the quire, by the executors to John 
 of Gant, Duke of Lancaster, for the good estate 
 of the said King Henry IV. during his life in this 
 world, and for his soul, after his departure hence. 
 
 In 2 Hen. VI. there was a Chantry of one 
 priest, founded q at the altar of the blessed Virgin, 
 in the body of this church, near the tomb of Sir 
 John de Beauchamp, knt., by John Westyerd, 
 citizen and vintner of London, for the soul of 
 Thomas Stowe, some time Dean of Paul s; as 
 also for the souls of the parents and benefactors 
 of the said Thomas, and all the faithful deceased; 
 and 405 . yearly assigned for the keeping of his 
 anniversary on the octaves of St. Martin, in 
 winter. 
 
 And in 5 Ed. IV., the king, for the singular 
 reverence which he bore unto God, and to the 
 blessed and glorious Virgin Mary, as also to the 
 holy Apostles, Peter and Paul, and to St. Erken- 
 wald and Ethelbert, those devout confessors, 
 granted license r to Thomas Kempe, then Bishop 
 of London, for the founding of a Chantry of one 
 priest, who should be the Bishop of London's 
 confessor in this Cathedral for the time being, 
 to celebrate divine service daily, at the altar of 
 the Holy Trinity in the body thereof, towards 
 the north side, for the good estate of the said 
 
 King, and Queen Elizabeth his consort; as also 
 of the said bishop, during their lives in this world, 
 and for the health of their souls after their depar¬ 
 tures hence; and, moreover, for the souls of the 
 said king's progenitors, the parents and bene¬ 
 factors of the said bishop, and all the faithful 
 deceased; and to unite it to the office of confessor 
 in this church for ever: and likewise to grant 
 thereunto one messuage, one dove-house, one 
 hundred and forty acres of land, six acres of 
 meadow, with eight acres of wood, called Grays, 
 and 105. rent, with the appurtenances lying in 
 great Clakton, in the county of Essex: as also 
 another messuage, twenty acres of land, two 
 acres of meadow, and two acres of wood, with 
 the appurtenances in the same town; and two 
 acres of land, lying in Chikewell, together with the 
 advowson of the church of Chikewell, in the same 
 county. Which Chantry this reverend bishop 
 did accordingly found, in a beautiful chapel built 
 for the purpose, betwixt the north aisle and the 
 body of this church; wherein his body was after¬ 
 wards interred; a perfect representation whereof 
 I have here exhibited. 
 
 And in 14 Ed. IV., he appropriated’ to the 
 said chantry priest and his successors in the 
 office of confessor in this Cathedral, the prebend 
 of St. Pancras belonging to this his bishoprick 
 of London; adding 1 , in 18 Ed. IV,, lands of 
 8/. per annum value thereto. Of which bishop, 
 (who was" first a batchelor of divinity, and 
 Archdeacon of Richmond,) this is not unworthy 
 to be observed; viz. w that though he had the 
 pope’s bull for his advancement to this see, he 
 utterly waved it, and submitted himself totally 
 to the king’s grace. 
 
 In 12 Ed. IV. there was a yearly rent of four 
 marks assigned* to the dean and chapter of 
 this Cathedral, and their successors, for to keep 
 the anniversary of Thomas Liseaux, late Dean 
 of Paul’s; as also of Robert Ellerbeke esquire 
 and Agnes his wife. 
 
 In 13 Hen. VIII., Richard Hill, citizen and 
 haberdasher of London, by his last will and 
 testament y , gave an annuity of twenty marks per 
 annum for to find a chaplain to celebrate divine 
 service at the altar of St. Paul in this Cathedral,

 for the soul of Richard Fitz-James, some time 
 Bishop of London. 
 
 In 17 Hen. VIII., William Barde, citizen and 
 fishmonger of London, gave z a yearly rent of 
 22/. per annum, for to find two chaplains, cele¬ 
 brating divine service daily, for the soul of John 
 Dowman, and all Christian souls, at the altar of 
 St. Martha and St. Mary Magdalen, within this 
 church. 
 
 And, lastly, in 24 Hen. VIII., Robert Brocket, 
 citizen and baker of London, gave a a yearly rent 
 ol 21/. 20 d. by his last will and testament, to 
 find two priests, for to pray for the soul of John 
 Withers, and all Christian souls, at the altars of 
 St. Mary Magdalen, and St. Andrew, in this 
 Cathedral. 
 
 All which Chantries, so continuing till their 
 dissolution in 1 Ed. VI., were then no more but 
 thirty-five, (the several unions before specified 
 having reduced them to that number,) unto which 
 did then belong fifty-four priests, who celebrated 
 daily for the souls of their founders, &c. 
 
 I now come to the sundry Anniversaries or 
 Obits, (over and above those formerly mentioned,) 
 which were anciently held b by the Dean and 
 Canons in this Cathedral: but for these it will 
 be sufficient, first, to point at the days whereon 
 they were so kept; next, to nominate the persons 
 whose souls were thus specially memorized; 
 and, lastly, to specify the several sums of money 
 particularly assigned for the maintenance of each, 
 whereof some part was usually given in alms.

 hath not been a little adorned; as an introduc¬ 
 tion to them, I shall briefly point at the high 
 regard which the ancients have had to a decent 
 and honourable Sepulture; as also the great anti¬ 
 quity of Tombs and Monuments: and to give 
 testimony thereof, will first exhibit a few instances 
 from sacred Scripture, and other authorities. 
 
 That Abraham was buried', with Sarah his 
 wife, in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of 
 Ephron ; and that Jacob, at his death d , charged 
 his son Joseph to carry his body into the Sepul¬ 
 chre of his fathers, we read in the book of 
 Genesis. That Joshua also had a Sepulchre, - 
 near to the city of Thimnath-Serah, seated on one 
 of the high hills of Ephraim, is no less evident e ; 
 which remained f in St. Hierome’s time, the sun 
 being engraven over it, in memory of that great 
 wonder which God wrought in his time. 
 
 Moreover, that the kings of Judah had a 
 special place set apart for their burial, is clear 
 from the text 8 ; which saith, that “ Uzziah, king 
 of Judah, slept with his fathers in the field of 
 the Burial, which pertained to the kingsas 
 also, that “ Hezekiah h slept with his fathers, 
 and that they buried him in the chiefest of the 
 Sepulchres of the sons of David, all Judah, and 
 the inhabitants of Jerusalem doing him honour 
 at his death.” 
 
 From the report of Strabo 1 we are likewise 
 informed, that Belus, the second King of Baby¬ 
 lon, (successor to Nimrod,) had his Sepulchre of 
 brick, made in the form of a pyramid, which was 
 a furlong in height, and on every side as much 
 in length. 
 
 And certain it is k , that the valiant Jonathan, 
 (brother to the renowned Judas Maccabeus,) was 
 buried in the Sepulchre of his fathers, upon 
 which was a stately monument of hewn stone 
 behind and before raised aloft; and seven pyra¬ 
 mids wrought with cunning devices; all which

 were surrounded 1 with divers large pillars, where¬ 
 upon their armour, for a perpetual memory, was 
 carved; and by the armour, ships in like sort 
 represented; which pillars were a mark to 
 seamen. 
 
 That King David likewise had a stately 
 Sepulchre in Jerusalem, enriched with such a 
 mass of treasure, that Hircanus, 850 years after, 
 took out of it no less than three thousand talents, 
 to divert the war which was threatened by Anti- 
 ochus, some of our late travellers affirm ra : and 
 in the valley of Jehoshaphat, near to the Brook 
 Cedron, is to be seen n that so much famed 
 Monument, called Absalom’s Pillar, it having 
 been there erected by him, in his own life-time, to 
 preserve the memory of his name: as also the 
 Sepulchre of Zacharias, (who was slain between 
 the temple and the altar,) all of the natural rock, 
 eighteen feet high, four square, and beautified 
 with Dorick columns, of the same unseparated 
 stone, sustaining the cornice, the top thereof 
 being like a pointed diamond. And that near 
 the city of Emmaus is a pile of stones °, square, 
 flat, and solid, which is said to be the Sepulchre 
 of those seven brethren, who were tortured to 
 death by Antiochus. So likewise near Rama, 
 the ruins of Rachel’s Tomb p ; whose voice was by 
 the prophet said to have been heard in that city, 
 weeping for her children. 
 
 And Strabo q tells us, that in the city of 
 Pasagardes, Cyrus, that mighty Persian monarch, 
 had a Tomb built by himself, whereon this 
 epitaph remained in his time: “ O vir, quicun- 
 que es, et undecunque venis; neque enim te 
 adventurum ignoravi; ego sum Cyrus, qui Persis 
 imperium constitui, pusillum hoc terras, quo 
 meuni tegitur corpus, mihi ne invideas.” 
 
 Which, when Alexander the Great came to 
 see, and opening it, found therein his target, 
 with two Scythian bows and a sword; he caused 
 the coffin, wherein his body lay, to be covered 
 with his own garment, and a crown of gold to 
 be set upon it, as Curtius reporteth. Of divers 
 others I omit the mention, for brevity’s sake. 
 
 The truth is, that the soul, knowing itself 
 immortal, (as the before-specified learned gen-

 tleman r hath -well observed,) doth desire that 
 the body, (her beloved companion,) might enjoy, 
 as far forth as may be, the like felicity; giving 
 thereto, by performing funeral dues, and erect¬ 
 ing lofty Monuments, all possible eternity: and 
 therefore it is no wonder there hath been so 
 universal a desire, in every age throughout all 
 nations, to transmit the memory of worthy men 
 to posterity, by such Monuments, that whereso¬ 
 ever we travel, or consult their stories, the testi¬ 
 mony thereof will be clear enough. Nay, Saint 
 Augustine" tells us, that the decent and honour¬ 
 able burial of the dead builds up the assurance 
 that we have of their resurrection; and instanceth' 
 the practice of the Egyptians in that curious way 
 of preserving their bodies, to be such as it is, by 
 reason of that their belief. 
 
 Who hath not heard of those stupendous 
 Pyramids, the Monuments of some of their 
 kings? And what other reason is there, pro¬ 
 bably, for them, than that which Diodorus 
 Siculus gives u ; viz. that of this life they make 
 small account, in regard it is so short; but that 
 which after death is joined with a glorious 
 memory of virtue, they highly value. 
 
 That Greece, and all the old Roman empire, 
 hath abounded with Monuments of famous men, 
 in various forms, is there not, besides the credit 
 of many worthy writers, the testimony of divers 
 observing persons, who have in our times travel¬ 
 led into those parts? Yea, that the northern 
 nations, which have been reckoned the most 
 barbarous of any, had no less regard to their 
 deceased friends and kindred, doth not the 
 learned Olaus Wormius w sufficiently declare? 
 
 And what esteem such Monuments have had 
 by succeeding ages, this example of Octavius 
 Augustus may show; who, when he saw the 
 Tomb of Alexander the Great, where the body 
 of that famous conqueror was exhibited also to 
 his view, “ Corona aurea imposita, ac floribus 
 aspersis, veneratus estsaith Suetonius; he 
 did reverence thereto, by putting his crown upon 
 it, and strowing flowers thereon. 
 
 And do w r e not yet see, with w'hat venerable 
 respect the most eminent men amongst us, for 
 
 learning and knowledge, and so likewise those 
 which travel hither from foreign parts, do usually 
 go to see those stately Tombs and Monuments, 
 yet remaining, of our kings, nobles, and several 
 other worthy persons, in the Abbey-church of 
 Westminster? Nor did they do the like with 
 less regard to these in this some time glorious 
 Cathedral, whilst they stood, as is not yet for¬ 
 gotten (I am sure) by many. 
 
 If, therefore, the erecting of such Monuments 
 for our dead ancestors have been so anciently 
 practised, as it is observed, and that they have 
 had, and still have, that reverend esteem by the 
 best of men, in every respect, that lived in all 
 ages; what need I farther enlarge this preamble, 
 by instancing the severe laws y to prevent their 
 violation, or by showing how inhumane and bar¬ 
 barous z they have ever been accounted, who do 
 such things; forasmuch as none that is worthy 
 of the name of a man will, I think, maintain the 
 contrary. 
 
 Deploring, therefore, the spoil and destruc¬ 
 tion which hath befallen these, (especially within 
 these last forty years,) with the church itself, 
 once the glory of this opulent city, I may not 
 omit to observe when, and upon what occasion, 
 they first began to suffer in that kind. 
 
 Cfjc first Defacing of Monuments. 
 
 In the time of King Edward VI., and begin¬ 
 ning of Queen Elizabeth, such pretenders were 
 some to zeal for a thorough reformation in reli¬ 
 gion, that, under colour of pulling down those 
 images here, which had been superstitiously 
 worshipped by the people, as then w'as said, the 
 beautiful and costly portraitures of brass, fixed on 
 several marbles in sundry churches of this realm, 
 and so consequently in this, escaping not their 
 sacrilegious hands, were torn away, and for a 
 small matter sold to copper-smiths and tinkers: 
 the greediness of those wffio then hunted after 
 gain by that barbarous means, being such, as 
 that, though the said queen by her proclama¬

 that kind; they ceased not still to proceed there¬ 
 in, till that she issued out another 1 , in the 14th 
 year of her said reign, charging the justices of 
 assize to be severe in tire punishment of such 
 offenders. 
 
 Amongst the many that were at that time 
 destroyed, these, whose names I have here 
 expressed, had their Monumental Stones and 
 Memorials here; viz. Henry de Sandwich', 
 Richard de Gravesend', Raphe de Baldok', 
 Richard de Newport', Michael de Northburgh', 
 Richard Clifford", Richard Hill 1 , and Richard 
 Fitz-James 1 : as afterwards John Elmore 1 , 
 Richard Fletcher", and Richard Vaughan", all 
 Bishops of London : so likewise Hamond Clnk- 
 well", (divers times lord mayor of this city about 
 the latter end of King Ed. II. and beginning of 
 Ed. III.’s reign); as also John Nevill', Lord 
 Latimer, and Sir Gerard Braybroke knt. with 
 Elizabeth his wife; the bones of which Sir Ge¬ 
 rard lying in a coffin of lead, cased with wood, 
 were diggeiFup at the east end of the south aisle, 
 siding tlie quire, in anno 1608, and with them 
 an indulgence from Pope Boniface IX., the 
 copy whereof I have here inserted.

 Of other eminent persons that lie interred 
 here, whose Monuments, except some few, re¬ 
 mained entire till the storm of this last fatal 
 destruction fell upon them, there were two kings, 
 viz. Sebba, (who, laying aside all worldly great¬ 
 ness, assumed 11 the habit of religion in this 
 church,) and Etlielred, and twenty-four bishops; 
 of which Eustace de Fauconberge was one of 
 the justices of the Common Pleas r in 3 Joh., 
 and afterwards, sc. 6 Hen. III., treasurer of the 
 exchequer 4 , at which time he became elected 
 bishop here. Henry de Wengham, clerk 1 , one 
 of the council" to King Henry III., afterwards 
 keeper of the great seal w t as also chancellor, if 
 my author mistake not*. John de Chishull, 
 twice keeper of the great seal, (towards the latter 
 part of King Henry III.'s reign,) first y when lie 
 was Archdeacon of London, and next*

 he was Dean of Paul’s. Raphe de fialdok, a 
 man of great learning and experience a , who was 
 Chancellor of England b , and wrote c the story of 
 this realm from the Britons time, till the age 
 wherein he lived. And, lastly, Robert de Bray- 
 broke, constituted d Lord Chancellor of England, 
 on Saturday, being the eve of St. Matthew the 
 Apostle, 6 Rich. II. 
 
 Of other great men, there was John of Gaunt, 
 Duke of Lancaster, who with Blanch, his first 
 wife, lieth on the north side of the quire, (on 
 whose Monument hung his proper helmet and 
 spear, as also his target, covered with horn): 
 from the loins of which duke, the greatest num¬ 
 ber of the kings of England, Spain, and Portu¬ 
 gal, since his time, as also several other persons 
 of eminent dignity, are descended. 
 
 Of earls here entombed, there were two, viz. 
 Henry de Lacy, Earl of Lincoln, in the upper 
 end of the south aisle above the quire (called St. 
 Dunstan’s Chapel); which earl, in 4 Hen. II., 
 upon the king’s expedition into Scotland was 
 constituted' his lieutenant in this realm during 
 his stay there, and died f the same year, scil. 
 anno 1310, on the feast day of St. Agatha the 
 virgin : and William Herbert, Earl of Pembroke, 
 betwixt the quire and the north aisle, whose 
 eminency under King Henry VIII., King Edward 
 VI., Queen Mary, and Queen Elizabeth, the 
 epitaph on the pillar at the head of his Monu¬ 
 ment doth amply shew. 
 
 In the wall of which north aisle lay Raphe de 
 Hengham, a famous and learned lawyer in his 
 time; who, being a canon of this church, was 8 
 one of the Justices of the King’s Bench in 
 3 Ed. I., and in 29 Ed. I., constituted h Chief 
 Justice of the Common Pleas. 
 
 And near unto him Sir Simon Burley, Knight 
 of the Garter, and a trusty servant to King 
 Richard II., who, in the sixth of his reign, was 
 made 1 Justice of South Wales; and the next year 
 following, first, Constable of Windsor Castle k , and 
 afterwards of Dover; as also Warden* of the 
 Cinque Ports, he being then vice-chamberlain to 
 the king; but beheaded m , by judgment of that

 parliament which was held without the king, in

 Duke of Gloucester to save his life. 
 
 In St. Dunstan’s Chapel, before specified, lay 
 Laurence Allerthorpe, a canon of this church, 
 constituted Lord Treasurer of England 0 in 
 2 Hen. IV. 
 
 Betwixt the quire and the south aisle rested, 
 under a very noble Monument, the body of Sir 
 Nicolas Bacon, knight, (of the ancient family of 
 the Bacons in Suffolk,) who was made Lord 
 Keeper of the Great Seal of England, 22d De¬ 
 cember, 1 Elizabeth, and died 20th February, 
 21 Elizabeth. And betwixt our Lady Chapel 
 and the same south aisle, lay Sir Christopher 
 Hatton, Knight of the Garter, constituted Lord 
 Chancellor of England, and Keeper of the Great 
 Seal, 29th April, 29 Eliz.; to whose Epitaphs, 
 (as to the rest,) which speak more at large of 
 them, I refer my reader. 
 
 Amongst the several other persons of note, 
 whose bodies, doubtless, are interred here, though 
 no known Monument over them hath been in 
 our .time remaining, I must not forget that 
 famous and learned Radulphus de Diceto, or 
 Disce, sometime dean of this church, (already 
 spoken of,) of whom Baleeus p makes this honour¬ 
 able mention; viz. that he was “ famce non mo- 
 ritura? doctor theologus,” “ a doctor in divinity 
 of immortal fameadding, that “ velut alter 
 Josephus aut Philo, suas gentis vetera monu- 
 menta atque inclita facta perpetuare studens, 
 multa retroactis seculis incognita produxit in 
 lucem;” and that, “ as another Josephus, or 
 Philo, studying to perpetuate the ancient mo¬ 
 numents, and noble acts of his country, he 
 brought to light many things unknown to former 
 ages:” neither Roger de Waltham, a canon 
 here in King Henry III.’s time, in regard he 
 was accounted q in those days a man of great 
 learning: which Roger, for the health of his 
 own soul, and his ancestors, founded r a chantry 
 of two priests, to celebrate divine service at the 
 altar of St. Laurence, opposite to the Sextry, as 
 is elsewhere observed. 
 
34 
 
 Clje l^tsforp, $t. 
 
 Nor Adam de Muremuth, a canon likewise 
 of this church, who was a faithful 5 , though not 
 very elegant writer, and compiled* the story of our 
 English kings, from the year 1325 unto 1367. 
 
 Of others, farther than what those Epitaphs 
 in the following pages exhibited do import, I can 
 say no more; forasmuch as the dismal mins, 
 formerly made here, have put an end to any 
 future discovery that can be made of them : 
 which unhappy stop puts me to this sad con¬ 
 templation ; viz. that if those that saw the Temple 
 which King Solomon built, and Nebuchadnezzar 
 destroyed, wept when they beheld that which 
 was erected in the room thereof, because it only 
 fell short of the former in stateliness and beauty; 
 what may we do, that have lately seen the de¬ 
 struction of this magnificent church, once the 
 glory of our principal city, and of the whole 
 nation; and the Monuments of so many famous 
 men in their times thus torn in pieces; yea, their 
 very bones and dust pulled out of their graves, 
 in hope to discover some treasure or jewels 
 buried with them? In which barbarous search, 
 the body of Sebba, (one of our Saxon kings,) was 
 found curiously embalmed with sweet odours, 
 and clothed in rich robes; so likewise several 
 bishops, lying in their proper habits, with mitres 
 on their heads, and crosiers in their hands : but 
 more than a ring or two, with rubies, and a 
 chalice of no great value, could I never hear that 
 they found, (a slender recompense for so wicked, 
 sacrilegious, and detestable an adventure).

 Here might it not be improper to take notice 
 of what we find denounced in sacred Scripture 
 against those which are destroyers of God’s 
 house, (for so the church u is called, and taking 
 away the possessions belonging thereto; as also 
 what temporal judgments have, by the stories of 
 our own and other nations, been observed to fall 
 upon offenders in that kind. But the substance 
 of what is to be said herein, is so excellently 
 spoken by that learned and pious gentleman, Sir 
 Henry Spelman, knt. in his discourse “ De non 
 temerandis Ecclesiis,” (which hath been thrice 
 printed,) that I will forbear: concluding with 
 what Sir Walter Raleigh expresseth w of the 
 wonderful destruction that befel part of Xerxes 
 his army, which sacked the temple of Apollo at 
 Delphos; viz. “ That this attempt of Xerxes 
 was impious; for seeing he believed that Apollo 
 was a god, he should not have dared to entertain 
 a covetous desire of enriching himself, by com¬ 
 mitting sacrilege upon his temple: wherefore, it 
 may possibly be true, (saith he,) that license to 
 chastise his impiety in such manner as is reported, 
 (viz. that many of his soldiers were overwhelmed 
 by rocks,) was granted unto the devil by that 
 Holy One, who saith, ‘ Will a man spoil his 
 gods x ?’” 
 
 I now come to those Monumental Inscriptions, 
 together with the rest of those Tombs, which 
 were standing in anno 1641, the shadows where¬ 
 of are exactly represented.

 Quin ipsa Lux hrec masculum robur dedit, 
 
 Ut nil tremendum Mortis, incuteret metus, 
 
 Sed Pascha verum, Transitus potius foret, 
 Aiiternitati prodromus. Marmor loquax 
 Spiral Resukgam, Mysticis candes Notis, 
 l\ec ipse Sadducaeus apparet Lapis : 
 
 Conditq; tantum, non pretnit corpus : grave 
 Spes ista superat pondus, et summum petit; 
 
 Nec detinebit mole Depositum sua; 
 
 Sed sponte ruptus Exitum tandem dabit, 
 
 Cum Triduanmn dormierit. Ipsius tulit

 (Nec mille Saicla Triduum excedunt Dei) 
 
 Sic tota demum, juncta Primitiis, Seges 
 Egerminabit. Hasc via ad Patriam, Mori.

 Hatton lies here, unto whose name Hugh Lupus gave 
 (Lupus the Sisters sonne of William conquerour) 
 
 For Nigel his dear servant’s sake worship and land : 
 
 Lo there the spring; look here-the Honour of his Ancestry. 
 When nature molded him her thoughts were most on Mars, 
 And all the Heavens to make him goodly were agreeing: 
 Thence was he valiant, active, strong, and passing comely, 
 And God did grace his mind and spirit with gifts excelling. 
 Nature commends her workmanship to Fortunes charge, 
 Fortune presents him to the Court and Queen, 
 
 Queen Eliz. (O God’s dear handmaid) his most miracle; 
 Now hearken, Reader, raritie not heard or seen; 
 
 This blessed Queen, mirror of all that Albion rul'd, 
 
 Gave Favour to his faith, and precepts to his hopefull time; 
 
 First trained him in the stately band of Pensioners, 
 
 Behold how humble hearts make casic steps to clime: 
 
 High carriage, honest life, heart ever loyal!, 
 
 Diligence, delight in duty, God doth reward : 
 
 So did this worthy Queen in her just thoughts of him, 
 
 And for her safety make him Captain of her Guard. 
 
 Now doth she prune this Vine, and from her sacred breast, 
 Lessons his Life, makes wise his heart for her great 
 Councells, 
 
 And so Vice-Chambcrlein, where forrein Princes eys 
 Might well admire her choyce, wherein she most excells. 
 
 So sweetly tempTed was his soul with vertuous balme, 
 Religious, just to God, and Csesar in each thing; 
 
 That he aspired to the highest Subject’s seat, 
 
 Lord Chancelour (measure and conscience of a holy King) 
 Robe, Coller, Garter, dead figures of great Honour, 
 Alms-deeds with Faith, honest in word, franke in dispence,

 siae, viz. Beati Pauli, quas Londoniis sita est) caritatem vestram, precibus et mandato sollicitare- 
 mus, quod nos facere, et eorum petitioni pise annuere ratum duximus; eo maximk quod memoratus

 tamen Episcopalis, nusquam (ut audivimus) in terris posita est, prater illam quam supra comme- 
 moravimus: Memoratus igitur Episcopus, ut jamdudum protractum opus ad perfectum adducere 
 posset, fraternitatem quondam totius Synodi sui consensu, et certa promissione instituit; ut pro 
 omnibus, qui memorato operi, in aliquo manum misericordiac pon'exerint, ab unoquoq; Sacerdote 
 totius Episcopatus Beati Pauli xxx. Missa) cantentur; pro hijs qui in carne sunt adhuc xv. Et pro 
 hijs xv. qui decesserint. In ipsa etiam Ecclesift Beati Pauli, singulis septimanis Missas duas; 
 unam pro vivis, alteram pro defunctis jam fratribus celebrari; et septem Psalteria cantari, totius 
 Capituli consensu statutum est. Inde est, quod caritatem vestram precamur, monemus, et exhor- 
 tamur in Domino; et in remissionem peccatorum vestrorum vobis injungimus, ut prasentium 
 latores, cum ad vos venerint, benignfe et honorifice suscipiatis; et in Ecclesiis vestris, ad seminan- 
 dum verbum Dei, liberk admittatis; et vos et subditos nostros, ad hoc opus misericordias modis 
 omnibus inducatis; et de bonis k Deo vobis praestitis, memorato operi, per eos misericorditer 
 transmittatis. 
 
 Nos itaque omnes, qui hanc fraternitatem susceperint; et de bonis suis eis contulerint, omnium 
 orationum, et beneficiorum, quae in Wintoniensi fuerint Ecclesiai, participes constituimus. Inhi- 
 bemus etiam, autoritate Dei, et nostri, ne quis nunciis istis injuriam vel contumeliam inferat; nec 
 de collato eis beneficio partem aliquam exigere prasumat. Vale. A proxima Ascensione Domini

 Near unto this place lyeth buried the body of that worthy and learned Gentleman, S' Symon 
 Baskekvile Knight, and Doctor in Physick; who departed this life the 5th day of July 1641. 
 Aged 68 Years. 
 
 This S' Symon Baskervile (being of the ancient Family of the Baskerviles in Hereford¬ 
 shire) had his education in learning, in Exeter College, in the University of Oxford, where lie had 
 his foundation in the knowledge of the Arts, and became so eminent for his excellent parts, and 
 quickness in arguing, that, upon the first coming of K. James to see that flourishing University, he 
 was chosen, as a prime person, to dispute before him in the Philosophy Act, which he performed with 
 great applause of his Majesty; who was not only there as an Hearer, but as an accurate Judge: 
 After this he had the honour to be one of the Proctors of that University, which gave him farther 
 occasion of shewing himself publickly : and, having laid his grounds in natural Philosophy, he went 
 on happily in the study of Physick; according to the known method of “ ubi desinit Philosophus, 
 ibi incipit medicus.” He was made Doctor in his faculty by the University, Knighted by K. Charles, 
 famous for his skill in Anatomy, and happy in his practice.

 THE QUIRE OF PAULS. 
 
 take notice than the Chantries and Monumental 
 Inscriptions f. 
 
 Of these Chantries, the first was founded 3 
 in 23 Ed. III. by the Dean and Chapter of 
 Pauls, upon their reception of a sum of money 
 from the executors of William de Everdon, 
 heretofore dean of that church, for two chap¬ 
 lains, to celebrate divine service daily at the 
 altar of Saint Radegund, before which his body 
 lay interred, for the soul of the said William; 
 as also for the soul of Ralph de Doungeon; 
 the revenue of which being afterwards deemed 
 too little for the support of them both, they 
 were reduced into one. 
 
 The next was the Chantry of Alan de Ho- 
 thoin; who, by his testament 15 , bearing date in 
 25 Ed. III., bequeathed all his lands, lying 
 within the City of London, to find two priests 
 to celebrate for his soul, and for the souls of 
 his parents and benefactors, and all the faithful

 * Sometimes called the Skroudcs. Edit. 
 
 I This church of St. Faith is a rectory, says Newcourt, and one of the peculiars belonging to the Dean and Chapter of 
 St. Paul’s, where they arc both patrons and ordinaries, and is wholly exempt, not only from the archdeacon, but also from 
 the bishop, except when he visits tarn in capite quam in membris. 
 
 In 1636 the annual profits of this church were returned as followeth : Tithes £. 77 0 0. Casualties £. 50 0 0. 
 
 As for the rectors of this church, says Newcourt, I can give no account of them, for the reasons mentioned in St. An- 
 tholinds, saving only, that one Dr. Brown was rector here in 1636, when the annual profits of this church were returned, 
 and was ejected by sequestration for his loyalty, soon after the Rebellion broke out in 1642, and died before the Res¬ 
 toration. (Merc. Rust. p. 254.) After which, one Dr Jackson was ejected for non-conformity, and Mr. Brian Turner was 
 collated to it by the said Dean and Chapter, Aug. 29, 1662, who enjoyed it till the church was burnt down in 1 666 . Soon 
 after which he voided it by taking another living in the country. Newcourt Repert. Eccles. vol. i. p. 349- After the fire 
 of London, the Rectory of St. Faith became united with that of St. Augustine. The Rectors of the united parish, since 
 1700, have been, 1706, April 17, Robert Newton Clerk, M. A. 1721, Sept. 30, Daniel Waterland, D. D. 1730, 
 Au". 7, Edward Cobden, D.D. 1764, Oct. 10, John Douglas, D. D. afterwards Bishop of Salisbury. 1787, Dec. 14, 
 John Wolcock, M. A. 1797, April 27, Henry Fly, D.D. Malcolm, (Londin. Rediviv. vol. ii. p. 95 —107,) has 
 given a detailed account of a dispute between the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul’s and the parishioners of St. Faith, respect- 
 in" the mht of burial under the east end of St. Paul’s, and in the yard : which was finally concluded by an agreement, 
 which the vestry of the parish, March 30, 175S, ordered to be enrolled in Chancery. Edit.

 AVING now done with 
 the main fabric of this 
 sometime glorious Ca¬ 
 thedral, I come to that 
 famous Vault, situate 
 under part of the quire, 
 and the structure east¬ 
 ward thereof; wherein 
 large and massy pillars, as the 
 ground-plot, and inward prospect thereof, ex¬ 
 hibited, do show. 
 
 This being a parish church, dedicated to the 
 honour of Saint Faith, the Virgin, was here¬ 
 tofore called Ecclesia S. Fidis, in Cryptis, (or 
 in the Crowds, according to the vulgar expres¬ 
 sion*): but thereof, farther than the ornaments 
 anciently belonging to it, of which a particular 
 inventory is to be seen in an ancient parch¬ 
 ment roll, remaining in the custody of the Dean 
 and Chapter of S. Paul’s, I have no more to

 The third was a Chantry, founded 1 in The other Gild was in that part of the said 
 17 Hen. VII., for one priest to perform divine Undercroft eastwards, which being dedicated to 
 service in a certain chapel within this Under- our blessed Saviour, was called Jesus Chapel, 
 croft, in which the body of William Say, Doctor and severed from the parish church of Saint 
 of Divinity, and Dean of this Church, lay in- Faith; and so continued' till after the disso- 
 terred, for the soul of the said William, as also lution of the said Gild, scil. an. 1551*, but then 
 for the good estate of Sir William Say, knight, was laid open to the church, for the better 
 Hemy Earl of Essex, and Mary his wife, Wil- enlargement thereof. Which said Gild was 
 liam Blount Lord Mountjoy, and Elizabeth his founded' in 37 Hen. VI. to the honour of Jesus, 
 wife, during their lives in this world; and for and consisted of a rector, two wardens, and 
 their souls, after their departures hence: and divers other men and women, 
 moreover for the souls of Sir John Say, knight, In this chapel was buried the Lady Mar- 
 and Elizabeth his wife, father and mother of garet, Countess of Shrewsbury, eldest daughter 
 the said Sir William Say; and for the souls to Richard Beauchamp Earl of Warwick, whose 
 of John and Edward, sons of the said William; epitaph, till of later time, extant on a pillar there, 
 as also of Thomas, Leonard, Anne, Elizabeth, I have inserted with the rest, which were in this 
 Katharine, and Mary, children of the said Sir Undercroft.

 she did professe, in all the time that she lived in the State of a Maide, and of a Wife, to 
 be a true and obedient Childe of God; even so she did behave herself in her Sickness, 
 bearing her Affliction with a true Christian Patience; much delighting to read, or to heare

 This, standing on the south-side of the body 
 of the Church, (guarded with a strong wall,) 
 was begun 3 to be built in an. 1332, (6 Ed. III.) : 
 the place where it stands, with the cloyster then 
 also erected, having, before that time, been the 
 garden for the Dean and Chapter; which garden, 
 together with the old Chapter-House situate near 
 it, then ruinous and deformed, were assigned b 
 by John de Everdon, Dean of Paul’s, and the 
 canons, for that purpose; and confirmed c by 
 Stephen de Gravesend, then Bishop of London*.

 WHICH STOOD AT THE EAST END OF THE 
 CHURCHYARD. 
 
 Of this, the first mention that I find is d in 
 that grant of Richard de Beaumeis, Bishop of 
 London, (temp. lien. I.) concerning the School ; 
 where the habitation for the schoolmaster was 
 assigned to be at the corner thereof; which, 
 doubtless, is the place where the schoolmaster 
 of Paul’s school dwelleth at this day. But I 
 suppose that it was a thing of much greater 
 antiquity; for, upon a writ' of quo warranto, 
 issued out by King Edward I. in the 15th year 
 of his reign, to inquire touching such pur- 
 prestures as had been made by the Dean and 
 Chapter of Paul’s; it appearing that the ground, 
 lying eastward from the church, wherein at that 
 time they had newly begun to bury, was the 
 king's soil; and that the citizens of London 
 had f , of ancient time, held a certain court there, 
 called the Folkemot: it was certified 8 , that they 
 used to ring a Bell hanging in this Tower, by the 
 sound whereof the people were summoned to it. 
 
 Which tower had afterwards a large spire 
 of timber, covered with lead, built, as I guess, 
 about the beginning of King Henry III.'s time: 
 
 for, in those covenants 11 made betwixt Richard 
 de Gravesend and the Dean and Chapter, con¬ 
 cerning the stalls in the quire, (whereof I have 
 already made mention,) it appears that he did 
 contract likewise to find timber for this steeple : 
 “ Et ad inveniendum totum maeremium neces- 
 sarium ad Clokarium ejusdem, quod situm est 
 in angulo majoris cimiterii S. Pauli, versus 
 forum, &c.” are the words of that bargain. 
 
 Within this Clochier were 1 four very great 
 Bells, called Jesus Bells, in regard they specially 
 belonged to Jesus Chapel, situate at the ease 
 end of the Undercroft of Paul's; as also k , on 
 the top of the spire, the image of Saint Paul; 
 all standing till Sir Miles Partridge, knight, 
 temp. Hen. VIII., having won them from the 
 king, at one cast of the dice, pulled 1 them down. 
 Which Sir Miles afterwards (scil. temp. Ed. VI.) 
 suffered” death on Tower-hill, for matters re¬ 
 lating to the Duke of Somerset. 
 
 lpaul'0 Cross. 
 
 STANDING IN THE CHURCHYARD, ON THE 
 
 NORTH SIDE, TOWARDS THE EAST-END. 
 
 That the original occasion of erecting a Cross 
 here, and so likewise in all other churchyards, 
 was to put good people, passing through such 
 cemeteries, in mind to pray for the souls of 
 those whose bodies lay there interred, I am 
 induced to believe, from what an authentic his¬ 
 torian" telleth us; viz. that Godrick, the ve¬ 
 nerable Abbot of Peterborough, (in Com. Nor-

 in anno 870, erected a cross of stone in the

 But besides that use of the Cross in this 
 place, there hath been another made thereof, 
 and perhaps very anciently; viz. of preaching 
 there to the people; for in 49 Ed. III. I find 
 it so; as in my discourse of the legacy given 
 by Michael de Northburgh, Bishop of London* 
 mentioned in page 24 of this present Work, 
 appeareth: so also in 11 Rich. II., where 
 Robert de Braybrokc, Bishop of London, in 
 his letters' hortatory to all the clergy of his 
 diocess, to stir up the people for contributing 
 towards the repair thereof, hath this expres¬ 
 sion : “ Cum Crux alta in majori cemiterio Ec- 
 clesite nostra Cathedralis, ubi verbum Dei con- 
 suevit populo pradicari, tanquam in loco magis 
 
 publico et insigni, &c.” Whereas the high Cross, 
 standing in the greater churchyard of our Ca¬ 
 thedral, where the word of God had wont to 
 be preached to the people, as in the most public 
 and eminent part thereof, &c. 
 
 That it was then grown ruinous by reason 
 of winds and tempests, it is evident from those 
 his letters; so also by others’ of the like nature 
 from the Archbishop of Canterbury; as also the 
 Bishops of Ely, Bath, Coventry, and Lichfield, 
 Landaff, and Bangor, sent out at the same time, 
 promising indulgence of xl. days to all such 
 as (de peccatis suis vere prenitentibus confessis 
 et contritis) should contribute thereto. But, 
 after that time, Thomas Kempe, who sate bishop 
 here from 2S Hen. VI. to 5 Hen. VII. rebuilt 
 it, as Godwin affirms', and as his arms, in 
 sundry places of its leaded cover, do manifestt-

 • Pennant (Account of London, 8vo. Lond. 1813, p. 512) says; We hear of this Cross being in nse as early as 
 the year 1259. Fabyan, however, notices it as early as 1256. “ In this xli yere,” (of King Henry the Third,) he says, 
 i< aIu i begynnynge of the same, was foundyn, in the Kynges Wardrobe at Wyndesore, a byll or rolle closyd in grene waxe, 
 and not knowen from whcns it sold comme j in the which rolle was conteyncd dyverse artyclcs agayne the mayre 
 and rulers of the cytie of London, and that by theym the comynaltic of the cytie was grevouslye taskyd and wrongyd ; 
 which byll was presented at lengthe to the kyngc: whereupon he anone sent John Mancell, one of his justycys, unto 
 London, and there in the feest of the conversion of Saynt Pavvle, by the king’s auctoryte callyd at Powlys Crosse a folk- 
 moot, beynge there present, Syr Richard de Clare Erie of Glowcetyr, and dyverse other of the kynge’s counceyll; where 
 the sayd John Mancell causyd the sayd Rolle to be redde before the comynalty of the cytie, and after shewyd to the 
 people" that the kynges pleasure and mynde was, that they shulde be rulyd with justyce, and that the lybertyes of 
 the cytie shuld be maynteyned in every poynt, and if the kyngc myghte knowc those parsonys that so hadde wrongyd 
 the comynaltie of the cytie, they shuld be greuouslye punysshed to the exaumple of other.” Chron. edit. 4to. Lond. 1811, 
 pp. 339, 340. Edit. 
 
 f Paul's Cross, says Pennant, (p. 511,) was a pulpit formed of wood, mounted upon steps of stone, and covered 
 with lead, in which the most eminent divines were appointed to preach every Sunday in the forenoon. To this place, 
 the Court, the Mayor and Aldermen, and principal citizens, used to resort. The greatest part of the congregation sat 
 in the open air; the king and his train had covered galleries; and the better sort of people, if we may judge from the 
 old prints, were also protected from the injury of the weather; but the far greater part stood exposed in the open air; 
 for which reason the preacher went, in very bad weather, to a place called theShrowds; a covered space on the side 
 of the church, to protect the congregation in inclement seasons. Considerable contributions were raised, among 
 the nobility and citizens, to support such preachers as were (as was often the case) called to town from either of 
 the universities. In particular, the Lord Mayor and Aldermen ordered that every preacher who came from a 
 distance, should be freely accommodated, during five days, with sweet and convenient lodgings, fire, candle, and all 
 necessaries; and notice was given by the Bishop of London, to the preacher appointed by hitn, of the place he was 
 to repair to. 
 
 It was used, he adds, not only for the instruction of mankind, by the doctrine of the preacher, but for every purpose 
 political or ecclesiastical: for giving force to oaths; for promulging laws, or rather the royal pleasure; for the 
 emission of papal bulls; for anathematizing sinners; for benedictions; for exposing penitents under censure of the 
 church; for recantations; for the private ends of the ambitious; and for the defaming of those who had incurred 
 the displeasure of crowned heads. 
 
 In 1259, we are informed by Fabyan, (Chron. 4to. Lond. 1811, p. 347,) “ After the feast of Candelmasse the 
 kyng commaundid a folmoot,” or general assembly of tiie citizens, “ to be called at Pawlys Crosse, where he in 
 propre persone, with the Kyng of Almayne, the Archebisshop of Cauntorbury, and many other nobles came, where 
 the kyng commaundyd unto the mayor that every strypelinge of the age of xii yeres and above, should before his 
 aldreman be sworne, the day folowyng, to be trevve to the kynge, and to his heyres kings of Englande, and that 
 the gatis of the cytie were kepte with armyd men, as before by the Kyng of Romayn* was devysyd."

 This was a chapel standing on the north side 
 of the churchyard, in that very place where a 
 
 stationer’s house and shop, viz. the sign of the 
 Rose, is now situate; having under it a vault, 
 wherein the bones taken out of sundry graves in 
 that cimetery, were, with great respect and care, 
 decently piled together: but with its original 
 foundation I have not met, nor seen any thing 
 
 44 In 1262,” says Stow, “ on the second Sunday in Lent, King Henry caused to be read at Paul’s Crosse a Bull 
 obtained of Pope Urbane the Fourth, as an absolution for him and for all his that were sworn to maintain the Articles 
 
 made in the Parliament at Oxford.’’ (Annals, fol. Lond. 1631, p. 192.) This, called The Mad Parliament, had been 
 
 held at Oxford in 125S. 
 
 Here, in 1299, Ralph de Baldock, Dean of St. Paul's, pronounced all those who had searched, or consented to 
 the digging for treasure within the church of St. Martin-le-Grand, accursed. (Fabyan, ut supr. p. 400.) 
 
 In 1417, the Lord Strange and Sir John Trussel were excommunicated here, for an affray which they had led, 
 attended with blood-shed, in the church of St. Dunslan in the East. (Stow, Ann. p. 352.) 
 
 “ In 1457,” says Stow, “ Master Reginald Pecockc, Bishop of Chichester, a secular Doctour of Divinitie, that 
 had laboured many yeeres to translate the holy Scripture into English, was accused to have past the bo[u]nds of divinity, 
 and of Christian beliefe in certain articles, of the which he was convict before the Archbishop of Canterbury and 
 other Bishops and Clerks, and after, utterly abjured, revoked, and renounced those articles openly at Paul’s Crosse, 
 in his mother tongue, on the fourth day of December, as followeth: 4 In the name of the Trinity, Father, Sonne, 
 4 and Holy Ghost, I Reginalde Pecocke, Bishop of Chichester, unworthy, of my owne power and will, without any 
 4 manner of coertion or dread, confcsse and knowledge, that I heere, before this time, presuming of my natural wit, 
 
 * and preferring my judgement and naturall reason before the New and the Old Testament, and the authority and 
 
 4 determination of our mother holy Church, have held, written, and taught otherwise than the holy Romane and 
 4 Universall Church teacheth, preacheth, or observeth. And one is against the true Catholike and Apostle’s faith. 
 
 4 I have written, taught, and published many and divers pcrillous doctrines, bookes, workes, and writings, contain- 
 
 4 ing heresies and errors contrary to the Faith Catholike and determination of holy Church, and especially these 
 
 4 heresies and errors following, that is to say, Imprimis, quod non est de necessitate fidci credere quod Dominus 
 
 * nostcr Jesus Christus post mortem dcscendit ad inferos. Item, quod non est de necessitate salutis credere Sanc- 
 
 4 torum Communionem. Item, quod Ecclesia universalis potest errare in his qure sunt fidei. Item, quod non est 
 
 4 de necessitate salutis credere et tenere illud quod Concilium generalc et universalis Ecclesia statuit, approbat, seu 
 
 * determinat in favorem Fidei, et ad salutcm animarum est ab universis Christi fidelibus approbandum et tenendum. 
 
 ‘ Wherefore, I, miserable sinner, which heere-before long time have walked in darknesse, and now by the mercy 
 4 and infinite goodnesse of God reduced into the right way and light of truth, and considering myselfe grievously 
 4 to have sinned, and wickedly [to] have informed and infected the people of God, returne and come againe to the Unity 
 4 of our Mother holy Church, and all heresies and errors written and contained in my sayde bookes, workes, and 
 4 writings, here solemnly and openly revoke and renounce, which heresies and errors, and all other spices of 
 ‘ heresies I have before this time before the most reverend father in God and my good Lord of Canterbury in 
 4 divers and lawfull forme judicially abjured, submitting my selfe, being then and also now at this time a very 
 4 contrite and penitent sinner, to the correction of the Church and of my said Lord of Canterbury. And over this, 
 4 exhorting and requiring in the name and vertue of Almightie God, in the salvation of your soulcs and mind, that 
 4 no man hereafter give faith and credence to my saidc pernicious doctrines, heresies, and errors, neyther my said

 4 deliver in all goodly hast unto my said Lord of Canterbury, or to his Commissioners and Deputies, in eschewing 
 4 of many inconveniences and great perils of soules, the which else might be cause of the contrary. And over 
 4 this, in declaration of my conversion and repentance, I heere openly assert, that my said bookes, workes, and 
 4 writings, for declaration and cause above rehersed, bee deputed unto the fire, and openly brent in ensample and 
 
 4 terror of all other, &c.’ After this, he was deprived of his Bishopricke, having a certain pension assigned unto 
 
 him for to live on in an Abbey: and soone after he died.” (Ann. pp. 402, 403.) 
 
 Here, in 1483, Jane Shore was put to open penance, 44 goynge before a crosse on Sondaye at procession with 
 a taper in her hande: in the which,” says the History of Edward the Fifth, usually ascribed to Sir Thomas More, 
 44 she went in countenaunce and pace so womanly, and albeit she was out of al her arayc, savyng her kyrtell 
 onelye, yet wente she so fayre and lovely, and namelye when the wondryng of the people cast a comelye rud in 
 her chekes, of the whiche she before had most mysse, that her great shame wanne her muche prayse amongst theim 
 
 that were more amorous of her bodye than curyous of her soule: and many good folke that hated her lyvyng, 
 
 and wer glad to see synne corrected, yet pitied they more her penaunce than rejoysed [at] it, when they con- 
 sydred that the protectour dyd it more of a comipt mynde than any vertuous affection.” (Hardyng’s Chron. 4to.

 Here also on the 19 th of June in the same year, Doetor Shaa preached his memorable sermon, that bastard 
 slips should never take deep root: signifying to the people, by Richard's order, “ that nejther Kmg Edward 
 himselfe, nor the Duke of Clarence, were lawfully begotten, nor were not the very chtldren of the Duke of Yorke, 
 but begotten unlawfully by other persons, by advoutrie of the Dutchesse their mother. And that also Dame Eli¬ 
 sabeth Lucy was verily the wife of King Edward, and so the Prince, and all his children, bastards, that were 
 begotten upon the Queenc." Thus paving the way for Richard to his ill-gained eminence. (See Stow, p. 453. 
 Fabyan, p. 669-) 
 
 In 1496, numerous Lollards performed their penance at this Cross with faggots: (Ibid. p. 6 S 6 .) and m 1499, on 
 the twenty-third of July, being Sunday, twelve hercticks stood here “ shryned with fagottes.” (Ibid. p. 687.) 
 
 In 1502 the marria™ between James the Fourth of Scotland, and Margaret, daughter of Henry the Seventh, was 
 here announced : and, in the same year, says Fabyan, « upon the first Sunday of Lent, was solemply accursed at 
 Ponies Crosse with bel and candell Syr Edmond de la Pool, (Duke of Suffolk,) Syr Robert Curson, and other, and 
 all that then ayded agayn the kyng.” (Ibid. p. 687, 688 .) The bull for this had been previously shewn on the Sunday 
 before St. Simon and St. Jude. 
 
 In 1533, among the propositions for the King's Council, we find, “ Item. Therefore that order be taken that 
 such as shall preach at Paul's Cross from henceforth, shall continually from Sunday to Sunday preach there, and 
 also teach and declare to the people, that he that now calleth himself Pope, ne any of his predecessors, is and 
 were but only the Bishops of Rome, and hath no more authority and jurisdiction by Cod's laws within tins realm 
 than any other foreign bishop hath; which is nothing at all: and that such authority as ho hath claimed heretofore, 
 hath been only by usurpation and sufferance of Princes of this realm. And that the Bishop of London may be 
 bound to suffer none other, to preach at St. Paul's Cross, as he will answer, but such as will ptcach and set forth 
 the same.” (Strype, Eccles. Mem. vol. i. p. 151, from MS. Cotton. Cleop. E. vi. fol. 319-) 
 
 In 1534 the King’s cause was preached for here, against Queen Katherine. (Strype, Eccles. Mem. ibid. p. 167 .) 
 
 In 153S, “ the 24th of February, being Sunday, the Rood of Boxeley in Kent, called the Rood of Grace, made 
 with divers vices, to moove the eyes and lips, was shewed at Pawles Crosse by the Preacher, which was the Bishop 
 of Rochester, and there it was broken and plucked to pieces.” (Stow, Ann. p. 575.) 
 
 “ On the third day of Januaric 1546,” says Stow, “ the late dissolved church of the Gray Fryars in London was 
 opened, and masse sung there; and that day preached at Paules Crosse the Bishop of Rochester, who declared the 
 king's gift to the citie of London, for the relieving of the poore people, which gift was by patent under his great scale, 
 S. Bartholomew’s Spittle, in Smithfield, lately valued at three hundred and five pounds six shillings and seven pence, and 
 surrendred to the king; the church of the said Gray Friers, valued at thirty-two pounds nineteen shillings and seven pence, 
 and surrendred; and two parish churches, the one of S. Nicholas in the Shambles, the other Saint Ewine in Newgate 
 Market, at Warwick Lane end, all to be made one Parish in the said church of the Gray Friers; and in lands he 
 gave for the maintenance of the same church, with divine service, reparation, &c. five hundred markes by yeere 
 for ever, and this church to be named Christ’s Church, founded by King Henry the Eight. (Ibid. p. 592.) 
 
 In 1547, Latimer preached at Paul’s Cross three Sundays successively. (Strype, Eccles. Mem. vol. ii. p. 71-) 
 
 Many are the examples of persons, says Pennant, of both religions, bearing the faggot, and of making public 
 recantation of their faith, at this place. The Reformers bore that badge as a mark of their escape; the Catholics 
 were excused from the burning, therefore were excused from the burden. The last who appeared was a seminary 
 priest, who, in 1593, made his recantation. In 1537, Sir Thomas Newman, priest, bore the faggot here on a sin¬ 
 gular occasion, for singing mass with good ale. To this place, he adds, Henry Grey, Duke of Suffolk, sent his 
 chaplain, Harding, to dissuade the people from revolting from their allegiance to Queen Mary; yet, actuated by 
 weakness and ambition, concurred in setting up his unhappy daughter, Jane Grey, in opposition to his rightful 
 sovereign. (Penn. Lond. ut supr. p. 520.) 
 
 Here, on the sixteenth of July, 1553, Ridley, Bishop of London, preached, by command of the Council, to 
 persuade the people in the title of the Lady Jane; inveighing earnestly against the titles both of Mary and Eli¬ 
 zabeth. (Stow, Ann. p. 6l 1.) 
 
 Mary practised the same arts in the same place. In this very year, “ preachers,” says Strype, “ were stu¬ 
 diously set up to preach the people into an ill opinion of the late proceedings, especially in religion: ’ and he 
 gives a minute account of the tumult occasioned by the preaching of one Bourne, “ who was parson of High Ongar 
 in Essex, at whom a dagger was thrown, for his reflections on the abolition of the ancient worship. But, “ the next 
 Sunday,” he adds, “ August 20th, preached at Paul’s Cross Dr. Watson, one of as much heat as the other, but with more 
 safety: having two hundred of the guard about him, to see no such disturbance happened again. There were present all

 of her ancestors and all the faithful deceased, 
 gave, in her pure widowhood, one quarter of 
 good wheat, to be paid yearly out of her 
 mannour of Anestie (in Surrey) for the sup¬ 
 port thereof; as also of the priests there cele¬ 
 brating divine service. 
 
 After which time several chantries were 
 founded therein; viz. in anno 1276 one by 
 Henry de Edelmeton, a citizen of London; 
 who by his testament 1 bequeathed six marks 
 yearly to a certain chaplain, to celebrate divine 
 service therein for his soul, and the souls of 
 his ancestors; and xxs. annually for the main¬ 
 
 tenance of a lamp. And the next year following, 
 another by one Roger Bevin u , for which he 
 assigned the like rent of vi. marks. Another 
 chantrie was also founded w in it, about that time, 
 for the soul of Athelina de S. Olavo; the priest 
 celebrating therein having the like assignation. 
 
 As to the government of this chapel, I find K , 
 that the warden thereof was to take care of 
 the ornaments belonging to it; and that the 
 door should be kept open during the octaves 
 of the church's dedication, as also for three days 
 in Whitson week: so likewise in the Feast of 
 Ileliques, from the hour that the mass of the 
 
 the crafts of London, in their best liveries, sitting on forms; every craft by themselves; together with the lord mayor and 
 aldermen.” 
 
 “ In 1554,” says Strype, (Eccles. Mem. vol. iii. p. 12S.) “ Ifarpsfield, the Bishop of London’s chaplain, was put up to 
 preach at Paul’s Cross, July 29, being the next Sunday after the wedding-day. And he prayed in his beads for the king 
 and queen,” and declared their style and titles. 
 
 “ On the second of December,” says Stow, (Annals, p. 625.) in the same year, “ Cardinall Poole came from Lambeth 
 by water, and landed at Paulcs Wharffe, and from thence to Paules Church, with a crosse, two pillars, and two pollaxes of 
 silver borne before him. Ilee was there received by the lord chancellor, with procession, where he tarried till the king came 
 from Westminster by lande, at eleven of the cloclce, and then the lord chancellor entred Pauls Cross and preached a 
 sermon, taking for his theame these wordcs, 1 Fratres scientcs quia hora est jam nos de somno surgere,’ &c. In the which 
 sermon he declared that the king and queen had restored the pope to his supremacie, and the three estates assembled 
 in the parliament, representing the whole body of the realme, had submitted themselves to the same.” 
 
 In 1555, we are told, “ on the 8th day of March, while a doctor preached at the Cross, a man did penance for trans¬ 
 gressing Lent, holding two pigs ready drest, whereof one was upon his head, having brought them to sell.” (Strype, 
 Eccles. Mem. vol. iii. p. 286.) 
 
 At the opening of Queen Elizabeth’s reign the papal power was again preached down. “ The same heroine,” says 
 Pennant, “ giving way to an ungenerous passion, caused, from this pulpit, the memory of her once beloved Essex 
 to be blackened ; to suffer the indignity of a sermon at Paul's Cross, set out in command. Some sparks of indig¬ 
 nation remaining in the queen that were unqucnched even by his blood.” (Acc. of London, p. 521.) 
 
 “ On the seventeenth of November, 1595, a day of great triumph for the long and prosperous raigne of her 
 
 Majestic at London,” we arc informed by Stow, “ the Pulpit Crosse in Paules Churchyard was new repayred, 
 painted, and partly inclosed with a wal of bricke: Doctour Fletcher, Bishop of London, preached there in prayse 
 
 of the queene, and prayer for her majestie, before the lord mayor, aldermen, and citizens, in their best liveries. 
 
 Which sermon being ended, upon the church leades the trumpets sounded, the cornets winded, and the quiristers 
 sunc an antheme. On the steeple many lights were burned: the Tower shot off her ordinance, the bels were rung, 
 bonefiers made, &c.” (Annals, p. 770.) 
 
 Pennant says, the last Sermon which was preached at this place was before James the First, who came in great 
 state on horseback from Whitehall, on Midlent Sunday, 1620. The object of the sermon, he adds, preached by 
 John King, Bishop of London, was the reparation of the Cathedral. 
 
 There is a sermon, however, in print, entitled “ The White Wolfe: preached at Pauls Crosse, Feb. 11, 1627, by 
 Stephen Denison, minister of Katherine Cree Church:” and, according to the continuator of Stow’s Annals, on the 
 30th of May, 1630, King Charles the First, having attended divine service in St. Paul’s Cathedral, “ went into a 
 roome and heard the sermon at Paules Crosse.” Iiis intent of coming thither, he adds, was not knowne to any 
 untill that morning early. (Ibid. p. 1045.) 
 
 In l633, as Sir William Dugdale has informed us in another page, the sermons, which usually had been preached 
 at the Cross, were removed into the quire of the Cathedral. 
 
 The Harleian Manuscript, No. 417, contains a list of benefactors, who were prayed for at Paul’s Cross toward 
 the close of the reign of Queen Elizabeth; beginning with “ John Elmer, late Lord Bishop of London,” and the 
 Lady Elizabeth, Countesse of Shrewsbury; followed by the names of ten or twelve citizens; “ as also for Sir 
 Nicholas Kempe Knight, and Mr. John Ivenrick, worthy benefactors towards the reparations of this church.” Edit.

 Apostles should be celebrated, until after vespers; 
 and on all the six holy days of the whole year, 
 from the said hour till noon, to the end that 
 pilgrims might have free access into it. Which 
 warden was also to procure and receive all 
 legacies, and offerings; as also tapers, at the 
 exequies of the deceased, throughout the whole 
 city; so likewise all oblations made therein: 
 for which he was to be accountable unto the 
 warden of the fabric of our Blessed Lady (scil. 
 The New Work). 
 
 But, notwithstanding these chantries so found¬ 
 ed therein, as hath been said, the revenue belong¬ 
 ing thereto, was, in time, so shrunk, that the 
 chapel became wholly destitute of divine ser¬ 
 vice : whereupon Jenkyn Carpenter, executor to 
 the famous Alderman Whitington, (citizen and 
 mercer,) in 8 Hen. VI. obtained license 7 from 
 the king to found a chantry for one priest, to cele¬ 
 brate divine service daily therein; and to grant 
 lands, &c. of viii. marks per annum value, for his 
 support: the Ordination of which Chantry I have 
 transcribed, as in the Appendix is to be seen. 
 
 In this chapel were buried Henry Barton, 
 lord mayor of London in an. 1417, and Thomas 
 Mirfin, mayor also, in 1519, both skinners; who 
 had 1 fair tombs therein, with their images in 
 alabaster, strongly coped with iron: all which, 
 with the chapel, were pulled down in anno 1549, 
 (3 Ed. VI.) by the before-specified Duke of 
 Somerset's appointment 11 , and made use of for 
 his building at Somerset-House in the Strand; 
 the bones, which lay in the vault underneath, 
 amounting to more than a thousand cart-loads, 
 being conveyed' into Finnesbury Fields, and 
 there laid on a moorish place, with so much 
 soil to cover them as did raise the ground for 
 three windmills to stand on, which have since 
 been built there*. 
 
 Lancaster to King Henry VI. founded d a chan¬ 
 try of two priests in a certain chapel, situate 
 near the north door of this Cathedral; the 
 building whereof was begun by him the said 
 Walter, in his life-time, and perfected by 
 his said executors; who dedicated it to the 
 blessed Virgin and Saint Nicolas, and called 
 it Shiryngton’s Chapel. But upon the disso¬ 
 lution of chantries in 1 Ed. VI. it was pulled' 
 down, and a house erected in the place where it 
 stood. 
 
 This Walter Shiryngton was one of the canons 
 resident here, and a wealthy person, as it seems ; 
 for, by an inventory f indented, made betwixt 
 Thomas Liseaux, the then Dean of Paul's, and 
 his executors, it appeareth, that he had in ready 
 money, at his death, no less than the sum of 
 three thousand two hundred thirty-three pounds 
 eighteen shillings and fourpence, which was kept 
 in an iron chest in the vestry of this church; 
 whereof 319/. was in groats, and all the 
 rest in gold. As also that he had two standing 
 cups of gold, with covers; the one weighing 
 xxxiii. ounces and one ferlyng, the other xxxii. 
 ounces and a half, half quarter, and one ferlyng, 
 of troy weight. 
 
 Which wealth, thus left behind him, as it was 
 of a large extent, so of no less latitude was his 
 mind; for, upon the west quadrature of that fair

 tofore a place of great note; for in it, anciently, 
 stood a chapel, founded by Gilbert Becket, Por¬ 
 treeve of London, in King Stephen’s time, (father 
 to Thomas Archbishop of Canterbury,) wherein 
 he lay buried; and rebuilt by Thomas Moore, 
 Dean of Paul’s in King Henry the Fifth’s time ; 
 being then dedicated to Saint Anne and Saint 
 Thomas of Canterbury. From which king tfne 
 said dean obtained license 1 to found a chantry 
 of three priests therein: but departing this world 
 before he accomplished it, his executors, viz. 
 John Preston, William Wright, John Hoo, and 
 Henry Jolyplace, by vertue of King Henry 
 the Vlth’s license™, perfected the work; appoint¬ 
 ing that the said chantry priests should celebrate 
 divine service daily therein, for the good estate 
 of King Henry VI. and themselves, during their 
 lives in this world ; and afterwards for the health 
 of their souls, and for the soul of the said 
 Thomas Moore ; as also for the souls of King 
 Edward III., Richard II., Henry the IVth, and 
 I lenry Vth, successively kings of England ; Ed¬ 
 ward, late prince of Wales; Anne, late queen 
 of England ; John Earl of Pembroke and Anne 
 his wife: William Earl of Suffolk and Isabel 
 his wife; Margaret Marshall, late countess of 
 Norfolk: and moreover of Henry and Isabel, 
 father, and mother of the said Thomas Moore : 
 (the names of all which persons were to be 
 placed in a tablet over the altar, to be remem¬ 
 bered in their masses and prayers:) and, lastly, 
 to keep the obit of the said Thomas Moore 
 on the 23d day of December for ever. 
 
 Unto which chantry, in 8 Henry VI., Walter 
 Cakton, citizen of London, by his last will" 
 added certain lands and tenements, for to find 
 one other chaplain to celebrate perpetually in 
 the said chapel, for the souls aforesaid; as also 
 for his own soul. And, in 21 Hen. VI., Helen 
 Stile, widow, (citizen likewise of London,) by 
 her testament gave other lands for the main¬ 
 tenance of an obit, to be annually kept in the 
 said chapel, for the soul of John Stile, her hus¬ 
 band ; as also for her own soul and all Christian 
 souls for ever. Which chapel was environed 
 
 with a large and goodly cloyster, wherein were 
 buried sundry persons, some of worship, and 
 some of honour, as Stow affirmeth 0 , and whose 
 monuments, in number and curious workman¬ 
 ship, passed all other that were in the Cathedral 
 itself. On the walls whereof was richly por¬ 
 trayed p the Dance of Death, (viz. the picture of 
 Death leading away all estates,) at the charge 
 of Jenkyn Carpenter, a citizen of London in 
 those days, (in imitation of that in the cloyster 
 adjoining to Saint Innocent's churchyard in 
 Paris,) with English verses to explain the paint¬ 
 ing; translated out of French by John Lydgate, 
 a monk of Saint Edmund's-bury, one of our 
 famous old poets.

 that side where the Library was, were pulled

 Edward Duke of Somerset, then Lord Pro¬

 The true reporte of the 
 burning of the Steple and 
 church of Paules, in London. 
 
 On Wednesday beinge the fourthe daye of June, in the yeare of our Lord 1561, and in the thyrde yeare of the 
 reigne of our Soveraygne Ladye Elizabeth, by the grace of God, Queene of Englande, Fraunce, and Ireland, 
 defender of the faith, &c. betwccne one and two of the clocke at afternoone, was scene a marveilous great fyrie 
 lightning and immediately insued a most terrible hydeous cracke of thunder, such as seldom hath been heard, and 
 
 that by estimacion of sense, directlye over the citie of London. At which instance the corner of a turret of y c 
 
 steple of Saint Martin’s churche within Ludgate was tome, and divers great stones casten downe, and a hole 
 broken throughe the roofe and timber of the said church by the fall of the same stones. 
 
 For divers persones in tyme of the saide tempest being on the river of Thamys, and others, beyng in the ficldes» 
 
 nere adjoyning to y e citie, affirmed, that thei saw a long and a speare pointed flame of fier (as it were) runne 
 through the toppe of the broche or shaft of Paules steple from the easte westwarde. And some of the parish of 
 St. Martin’s then bein'* in the streatc dyd feele a marveylous strong ayre or whorlewynd, with a smel lyke brim¬ 
 stone cornin'* from Paules church, and withal heard the rush of y e stones which fell fro their steeple into the 
 churche. Between iiij and five of the clocke a smoke was espied, by divers, to breake oute under the bowle of the 
 said shaft of Paules, and namely, by Peter Johnson, principall Rcgistrer to the Bishop of Londo, who immediately 
 brought word to the Bishop’s house. But sodeinly after, as it were in a momentc, the flame brake forth in a 
 circle like a garlandc rounde about the broche, about two yards to thestimacion of sight under the bowle of the 
 said shaft, and increased in suche wise, that within a quarter of an howre, or litle more, the crosse and the egle 
 on the toppe fell downe upon the South crosse lie. The Lord Major being sent for, and his brethren came with 
 ali spede possible, and had a short consultation, as in such a case might be, with y e Bishop of London, and 
 others, for y e best way of remedy. And thither came also y e Lord Keper of the great scale, and the Lord Trea- 
 sorer, who by their wisedom and authoritie dyrected as good order as in so great a confusib could possibly be. 
 
 Some there wer, preteding experience in warres, that councclcd the remanente of the steple to be shot down 
 with canons, which counsel was not liked, as most perilous both for the dispersing the fixe, and destructio of 
 houses and people; other perceiving the steple to be past all recovery, considering the hugeness of the fier, and 
 the dropping of the leade, thought beste to geat ladders and scale the churche, and with axes to hew down a 
 space of the roofe of the churche to stay the fier, at least to save some part of the saide churche, which was 
 concluded. But before the ladders and buckets could be brought, and things put in any order, and especially 
 because the churche was of such height, that thei could not scale it, and no sufficiente number of axes could be 
 had, y e laborers also being troubled with y e multitude of ydle gazers, the mostc parte of the higheste roofe of the 
 churche was on fier. 
 
 Fyrst, the fall of the crosse and egle fired the Southe crosse lie, which lie was first consumed, the beaines and 
 brands of thfe steeple fell downe on every side, and fired the other thre partes, that is to saye, the Chauncel or 
 
 Quier, the North lie, and the body of the churche, so that in one howres space y e broch of the steple was brent 
 
 downe to y e battlementes, and the most part of y e highest roofe of the churche likewise consumed. The state of 
 the steple and churche seming both desperate, my Lord Mayor was advised by one maister Winter, of y e 
 admiraltie, to converte the most part of his care and provisio to preserve the Bishops palace adjoynyng to the 
 North-west end of the church : least fro that house beinge large, the fier might sprede to the stretes adjoyning, 
 
 whereupon the ladders, buckets, and laborers, were commanded thither, and by greate labor and diligence, a 
 
 piece of the roofe of the Northe He was cut down, and the fier so stayed, and by muclie water, that parte 
 quenched, and the said Bishops house preserved. It pleased God also at the same tyme bothe to tume and ealme 
 
 the winde, which afore was vehemet, and continued stil high and greate in other partes without the citie. There 
 
 wer above v.C. persons y* laboured in carrying and filling water, and divers substancial citizens toke paynes as it 
 thei had bene laborers, so did also divers and sondrye gentlemen, whose names wer not knowen to the writer 
 hereof, but amon£*st other, the said M. Winter, and one Mr. Stranguish did both take notable paines in their own 
 persons, and also much directed and encouraged other, and that not without great daunger to theselves. In y e 
 
 evening came the Lord Clinton, Lord Admiral, from the court at Grenewiche, whe the Queenes majesty, assonc 
 
 as the ra^e of the fier was espied by her majestye and others in the court, of the pitifull inclination and love 
 that her gracious highnesse dyd beare both to y e said church, and the citie, sent to assyst my Lorde Mayor ior 
 the suppressyng of the fyre, who with his wisdome, authority, and diligent travayl, did very much good therin. 
 About x of the clocke the fyerceness of the fyre was past, the tymbre being fallen, and lyinge brenninge uppon 
 the vaultes of stone, the vaultes yet (God be thanked) standjnge unperished : so as onelye the tymbre of the hole

 « lire (which began in the steeple of timber, “ and was by most people thought to be oc- 
 “ covered with lead, the 4th of June, 1561, “ casioned by a flash of lightning) happened 
 
 church was consumed, and the lead molten, savying the most part of the two lowe lies of the Queare, and a 
 piece of the North lie, and an other smal piece of y° Southe, in the bodye of the churche. Notwithstandyng all 
 which, it pleased the merciful God in his wrath to remebre hiS mercie, and to enclose the liarrne of this most 
 fyerce and terrible fyre wythin the wallcs of thys one church, not extending any part of his wrath in this fyre 
 uppon the rest of the citie, which to all reason and sence of man was subject to utter distruction. For in the 
 hole city without the churche no stycke was kyndled surelye, notwithstanding that in diverse partes and stretes, 
 and within the houses bothe -adjoyning, and of a good distaunce, as in Flctestrete and Newgate market, by the 
 violence of fyre, burninge coles of greate bignesse fell downe almoost as thicke as - haylstones, and Hawes of lead 
 were blowen abrode into the gardins without y> citie, like Hawes of snowe in bredthe, w’oute hurt, God be thanked, 
 to any house or perso. Many fond talkes goc abrode of the original cause of this Her. Some say it was negli¬ 
 gence of plumbers, whereas by due examination, it is proved that no plumbers or other workemen laboured in the 
 
 churche for sixe monetbes before. Others suspect it was done by some wicked practice of wildfyer or gunpowder, 
 but no just suspicions therof by any examinacion can be founde hitherto. Some suspect conjurers and sorcerers, 
 wherof there is also no great likelyhode. And if it baddc bene wrought y' waie, yet could not the devil have 
 
 done it, without God’s permissio, and to some purpose of his unserchcable judgemets, as appereth in the story 
 
 of Job.' The true cause, as it semeth, was the tepest by God’s sufl’rance: for it cannot be otherwise gathered, but 
 that at y° said great and terrible thunderclap, when St. Martins steple was tome, the lightning, which by natural 
 order smiteth y" highest, did first smite y’ top of Taules steple, and entring in at the small holes, which have 
 always remained open for building skaflbldcs to the workes, and finding the timbers very oldc and drie, did 
 kindle the same, and so the ficr increasing grew to a flame, and wrought y e efiecte which folowed, most terrible 
 then to behold and now most lamentable to looke on. 
 
 On Sunday folowing, beynge the viii day of June, the reverend in God, the Bishop of Durcsme, at Paules 
 Crosse, made a lenrned and fruitful sermon, exhorting the auditory to a general repentance, and namely to humble 
 obediece of the lawes and superior powers, which vertue is much decayed in these our daics. Seeming to have 
 intellygecc from the Qucencs highnes, that her Majestic intendeth that more severitie of lawes shall be executed 
 against" persons disobedyent as well in causes of religion as civil, to- the great rejoysing of his auditours. He 
 exhorted also hys audiece to take this as a gcnerall warninge to the whole reaime, and namelyc to the citie of 
 London, of some greater plage to folow, if amendmentc of lyfe in all states did not ensue: lie rnuche reproved 
 those persons whicho woulde assigne the cause of this wrathe of God to any perticular state of me, or that were 
 diligent to loke into other mens lyves, and could see no faultes in themselfes; but wished that every man wold 
 descend into himsclfe, and say with David, Ego sum qui pcccavi. 1 am he that hathe sinned, and so furth, to that 
 effect very godlye. He also not onely reproved the prophanatyon of the said churche of Paules, of long time 
 heretofore abused by walking, jangling, brawling, fighting, bargaining, &c. namely, in sermons and service time: but 
 also aunswered by the way to the objections of such evil-tunged persus, which do impute this tojten ot God’s 
 deserved ire, to alteratio or rather reformatio of religio, declaring out of auncicnt records and histories, y” like, 
 yea and greater matters, had befallen in the time of superstio and ignorance. For in the first year of King Stephe, 
 not only the said churche of Paules was brent, but also a great part of the city, that is to say fro Londb Bridge 
 unto St. Clemets without Teple bar, was by fier cosuined. And in y e daics of King Ilery y e VI. y e Steple of 
 Paules was also fired by lightning, although it was then staide by diligece of y' citizens, y" ficr being the by 
 likelyhode not so fierce. Many other suche like comon calamities he rehersed, whiclie had happened in other 
 countreis both nigh to this realm, and far of, where the church of Rome hath most authority, and therefore con¬ 
 cluded the surest way to be, y l every man should judge, examin, and amend himselfe, and embrace, beleve, and 
 truely folow y* word of God, and earnestly to pray to God to turn away fro us his deserved wrath and indig¬ 
 nation, wherof this his terrible work is a most certoin warning, if we repent not unfeinedly. The whiche God 
 grant maye come to passe in all estates and degrees, to y" glory of his name, and to our cndelesse comforte, 
 in Christ our Saviour. Amen. 
 
 God Save the Queene.” 
 
 This Tract appears perfectly consonant in its evidence with the entry relating to the fire in Bishop Grindal's 
 Register, the substance of which is given by Mr. Churton in the Life of Dean Nowel, pp. 59, 60. and sufficiently 
 refutes the account quoted by Dugdalc, (in the second Edition only,) from Ileylin’s Ecclesia Restaurata. 
 
 Another Tract was published, in 1563, by John Morwen, a deprived prebendary of the church, entitled, “ An 
 Addicion with an Apologie to the Causes of brinnynge of Paules Church, the which causes were vttred at Paules 
 Crosse by the reuerend Bysshop of Durcsme the viii. of June, 1561.” Also printed by Seres.

 * Among the Lansdowne Manuscripts, in the British Museum, Num. 6. art. 55. is preserved the following Letter from 
 Bishop Grindal to Secretary Cecill, afterwards Lord Burleigh. 
 
 “ Bycawsc some have dyed lately neare my Howse here, I dare nott come to the Courte to speake with you, 
 nottwithstandyngc I shall praye you to have your furtherance in this matter folowynge which I have communicated 
 with my L. Kepcr, who someth nott to mislyke off it. S. Bartholomewes Churchc, adjoyninge to my Lord Riches 
 howse, is in dccaye and so c-ncreaseth daylye: it hathe an heavie coatc off leade, w ch wolde doe veric goode 
 service for the mother Churche off Powles. I have obteyned my Lord Riches goode wille, and if I cowlde obteyne 
 my L. Chiefc Justice off the K. Benche and Sir Walter Myldmayes assenle I would not dowbte to have the assent 
 also of the whole Parrishc that the leade mighte goe to the coveringc off Powles. Now rc-mayneth only this scruple, 
 How shall the parisshe be providett off a Churche. Thatt is thus answered. Ther is an howse adjoynynge which 
 was the Fratrie (as they tearmed it) a verie fayre and a large howse, and in deede allreadye, iff it were purged, 
 lacketh nothinge butt the name off a Churche, well buyldcd off free stone, garnisshed w ,h in rownde abowte with 
 marble pyllers, large windowes, &c. I assure you withoute partialitie, iff it war dressed up, it were farre more 
 beautifull and more conveniente then the other. Ylt is covered with goode sclatc. Iff we mighte have the leade, 
 we wolde compowndc with my L. Riche for convertynge the sayd Fratrie to a Churche, and we will also supplye 
 all imperfections off the same, and not desyre the Parisshe to remoove tyll the other be meete and con¬ 
 venient to goo to. Methinketh the matter is veric reasonable. For whatt is more reasonable then thatt the children 
 shulde clothe theyr nakede parentes ? Owre Churche is Matrix Ecclesia (as the Canons terme suche Churches), 
 which is all one with Mater. I praye youe lett us have your helpe in itt to my L. Chieffe Justice and Mr. Myld-

 Strype, who mentions the substance of this Letter in his Life of Grindal, who was afterwards Archbishop of 
 Canterbury, says, “ What this came to I cannot tell, but believe the Bishop could not compass his end ; some per¬ 
 haps concerned, minding rather to convert both church, stones, timber, lead and all, to their own use, as occasion 
 served. For it was pulled down, as we learn from Stow, upon pretence of repairing with the materials an old steeple 
 adjoining : which yet was not done therewith.” Hist, of the Life and Acts of Archbishop Grindal. fol. Lond. 1710, p. 64.

 King James, till the 18th year of his reign')': 
 but then, having been frequently solicited by 
 one Master Henry Farley, for the space of eight 
 years before, (who, though a private man, was 
 so extremely zealous to promote the work, that 
 he ceased not by sundry petitions to importune 
 that king therein,) his princely heart was moved 
 with such compassion to this decayed fabrick, 
 that for prevention of its near approaching 
 
 ruin, (by the corroding quality of the coal 
 smoke, especially in moist weather, whereunto 
 it had been so long subject,) considering with 
 himself how vast the charge would be; as 
 also, that without very great and publick helps 
 it could not be borne; to beget the more 
 venerable regard towards so worthy an enter¬ 
 prise, and more effectually to put it forwards, 
 he came in great state thither, on horseback, 
 upon Sunday the 26th of March, anno 1620,

 * Strypc says, that in 1576, in the month of June, the Queen was very urgent about the rebuilding of the 
 Spire, “ and had given some order to the Lord Treasurer and others of her Council, to deal with the Mayor of 
 London thereupon. And soon after she demanded of the Earl of Sussex, Lord Chamberlain, what was done with 
 the Mayor about the Steeple. And when he replied, that the Lords of her Council were so busied in a greater 
 matter, relating to her subsidy, that they had no time that day to deal in that matter; but that the Lord Trea¬ 
 surer and Lord Keeper did intend speedily to send for the Mayor, and to declare plainly to him her pleasure, and 
 make Report thereof themselves at their coming to Court: she then willed the Lord Chamberlain to remember the 
 Treasurer thereof again; saying, that if she were not satisfied, she would have the Mayor and six of the best of his brethren 
 before herself upon the very next Sunday following, though she were then in a Progress, and some distance from 
 London. This the Lord Chamberlain from Court signified in a Letter to the Lord Treasurer, and added, that her 
 Majesty was very earnest in that Affair. And therefore he prayed him to let her Majesty understand, as soon as 
 he might, what was done therein. For he thought she meant to have them before her, and stayed the sending for 
 them only till she received an answer from him. Rut however, after all, greater state matters, and the charge, 
 obstructed and deterred from this undertaking. And so it lay neglected ever after." Life and Acts of Archb. Grin-

 “ James, Rex. 
 
 Right reverend father in God, right trusty and well beloved, we greet you well. The desire we have to remove 
 the scandal that hath long lien upon our city of London especially, but in a manner upon the whol realm, for 
 the neglect of the repairing of the steeple of St. Paul’s Church, moved us to quicken them by our Letters to think 
 upon some means, how the same might be taken in hand, and to oiler of our own bounty to contribute liberally 
 
 towards it; by occasion whereof we have been informed that the whole body of the Church is not only in decay, 
 
 but in some danger of ruin in some parts thereof, if the same be not in time prevented, which grieved us not a 
 little, that in a time of peace and plenty, which this realm hath of late years enjoyed, and in the flourishing 
 estate of the church, so much neglect should be used by those, to whose care it appertaineth to preserve in their 
 estate and decency such monuments, as though they be not of the essence of religion, yet never were neglected, 
 but with blemish and disgrace as well to the ministers, as to the religion itself, to the use whereof they are dedi¬ 
 cated, and do not leave unattainted the honour and zeal of those princes, in whose time such error happen, because 
 it is no small part of their charge to have an eye to the preservation, as in general of all public monuments, so 
 especially of those, that have been designed to the honour and service of God; from the sense whereof it ariseth 
 that at this time we summon the duties of you, whom it concerneth, and require you to enter into present con¬ 
 sideration, how the decays of that church may be forthwith repaired, and the same restored not only to strength 
 and safety, but to such decency, as is comely for so worthy and famous a monument of the piety of our ancestors. 
 For it is not unknown to us, that among the possessions which appertain to that see, there be lands especially 
 appropriated to the fabric of the church, which if they had been continually employed to that use, those decays 
 would not have got so far; notwithstanding if the former neglects have made the decay greater than the yearly 
 
 revenue of those lands can repair, we shall be willing to give furtherance to any other means of supply, which 
 
 shall be presented unto us. But because we would not have their ruins to run on, but some speedy cause to be 
 taken for the redress thereof, and to the end we may understand what the state of the structures of that church is; 
 we require you to cause the same to be viewed by skilful persons, and a survey to be made in writing of all the 
 decays thereof, and what the charge of the reparation may amount unto, and likewise a certificate to be made to 
 us of such possessions of the church, as be appropriated to the fabric thereof, and what yearly rent they be of, 
 that we may see how the means do stand in proportion of the charge, and what will be requisite for supply; all

 court, Sir William Cokain, knight, being then 
 lord mayor; who, with the City in their liveries, 
 then also gave their attendance. Where alight¬ 
 ing, at the west door, having kneeled near the 
 brazen pillar, and prayed lor good success to 
 this his pious intention, he was received under 
 a canopy, supported by the dean and residen- 
 tiaries; the rest of the prebends and dignitaries, 
 with the whole company of singing men, going 
 before. 
 
 And having thus proceeded to the Quire, 
 which was adorned with his own hangings for 
 that occasion, and there heard an anthem, he 
 went to the Cross; where the then Reverend 
 Bishop of London (Doctor John King) preached 
 a learned sermon, upon a text given him by 
 his majesty, as pertinent to the business in 
 hand, viz. on Psalm cii. ver. 13 and 14. And 
 when sermon was ended, repaired to the Bishop s 
 Palace, with his said nobles, and the whole 
 train of his servants attending him, where they 
 were magnificently entertained with several set 
 banquets. 
 
 After which great solemnity, much consul¬ 
 tation being had of what was most fit to be 
 done, in order to the beginning and carrying 
 on of so noble and pious a work; the said 
 king, at length, issued out his royal commission' 
 under the great seal of England, bearing date 
 the 16th day of November 14 , then next fol¬ 
 lowing, directed unto these particular persons, 
 viz. Sir Francis Jones, knight, then Lord Mayor 
 of London; George Lord Archbishop of Canter¬ 
 bury ; Francis Lord Verulam, then Lord Chan¬ 
 
 cellor of England; Edward Earl of Worcester,

 Which Commission, importing that this Church, 
 being the greatest and most eminent, as also 
 one of the principal ornaments of the realm, 
 and in much decay; any six, or more, of these 
 commissioners, whereof three to be of the said 
 king’s privy council, should meet, to make par¬ 
 ticular discovery of the said decays; and like¬ 
 wise what houses, cellars, &c. had been built 
 near it, to the annoyance and blemishing either 
 of it or the churchyard: and, moreover, to in¬ 
 quire what lands, rents, &c. had been given 
 towards its repair; or sums of money collected 
 for that purpose, and not accordingly employed : 
 and, farther, to consider of the most fit and 
 proper means to raise money for to carry on 
 the said repair: and, lastly, to appoint sur¬ 
 veyors and other officers for the work, and to 
 make certificate of their proceedings therein into 
 the Chancery. 
 
 Upon meeting of which commissioners, and 
 diligent search made into the particulars before 
 specified, it was acknowledged that the Bishop 
 of London had peculiar care of the whole body 
 of the Church, and the Dean and Chapter of 
 the Quire: but that what each of them en¬ 
 joyed as to this purpose was so little, as that 
 they yearly expended double as much upon the 
 roof and other parts decayed, to preserve them 
 from present ruin. Which being made evident 
 
 to the commissioners; as also that in former 
 times, even from the very first foundation thereof, 
 it had been supported, partly out of the large 
 oblations of those that visited the shrines and 
 oratories therein; and partly from such public 
 contributions, whereof I have already in my 
 discourse of the fabrick given instance ; the heat 
 of their inquiry, who, under pretence of this 
 needful repair, aimed at the ruin of the bishop, 
 and other members of the church, (as the Earl of 
 Southampton, and some other persons of honour, 
 well observed,) began much to cool: and upon 
 a serious deliberation of what was most proper 
 to be done, they concluded, that, as anciently 
 it had been, so now a general Benevolence 
 throughout the whole kingdom should be at¬ 
 tempted ; and that, for the better encourage¬ 
 ment thereof, the nobility and gentry, who stood 
 best affected to so good a work, might be moved 
 to signify, by subscriptions, what they would 
 contribute thereto. 
 
 Whereupon, the king himself, to give example 
 unto others, began the subscription, most of the 
 nobility, and many more, following very cheer¬ 
 fully therein; the then bishop giving 100/., and 
 subscribing for so much annually, as long as he 
 should continue in that see; which was but a 
 short time, for the next ensuing year he died *. 
 
 Unto whom succeeded Doctor George Moun- 
 taine: which bishop, being no less zealous to 
 promote the work, disbursed a considerable sum 
 of money, to provide stone from Portland to that 
 purpose. 
 
 But the collection of monies went so slowly 
 forwards, as that, though a good proportion of 
 stone was brought in by the said bishop, the 
 prosecution of the work became wholly ne¬ 
 glected ; so that part of the said stone lying 
 useless, was after borrowed by the Duke of 
 Buckingham for the building of the water-gate 
 at York-House; and there employed for that 
 use, as I have heard. Nor till Doctor Laud 
 became Bishop of London (which was in 
 ann. 1628, 4 Car.) was any thing more done 
 therein. But this bishop being a person of great 
 parts, and of a most public spirit, as by that 
 noble enlargement of St. John’s College in 
 Oxford, whereof he had been president, and

 Aldermen of the said City of London; John 
 Mountford and Henry King, Doctors in Di¬ 
 vinity, and Residentiaries of this Church ; Francis 
 Windcbanke, Esq., one of the Clerks of the 
 Signet; William Noye, Esq.; William Hack- 
 well, Esq.; Edward Wymarke, Esq.; and Robert 
 Bateman, Esq., Chamberlain of the said City of 
 London. 
 
 By which Commission the said king taking 
 notice of this Cathedral as the goodliest monu¬ 
 ment and most eminent church of his whole 
 dominions; as also that it was the principal 
 ornament of the City of London, the imperial 
 seat of this his realm: and moreover, that the 
 proceedings in that commission, issued out by 
 his royal father, (as before hath been observed,) 
 were slackened by reason of his death; resolving 
 to go on therewith effectually, declared as fol- 
 loweth; viz. 
 
 1. That all money brought in for the repair 
 thereof should be paid into the Chamber of 
 London. 
 
 2. That William Laude, then Bishop of 
 London, offered to allow 100/. per ann. out 
 of the revenue of that bishoprick during his con¬ 
 tinuance therein. 
 
 3. That a register book of all subscriptions 
 for contributions thereto should be made, as 
 in King James’s time. 
 
 4. That the judges of the Prerogative 
 Court, and all officials throughout the several 
 bishopricks in England and Wales, upon the 
 decease of any person intestate, should be 
 excited to remember this church, out of 
 
 Breviary of his Life, published by W. Prinne 1640.

 what w'as proper to be given to pious 
 uses. 
 
 5. And, lastly, that there should be letters 
 patents issued out for the receiving of public 
 contributions from all people throughout the 
 whole kingdom. 
 
 After which it was not long but that monies 
 were brought in to the said Chamber of London 
 accordingly 0 ; the Bishop of Norwich, at that 
 time almoner to the king, giving 400/. on the 
 17th of May next following; multitudes of others 
 then, and during the space of eleven years fol¬ 
 lowing, through the powerful solicitation of the 
 said Bishop of London, contributing most freely, 
 according to their several estates and degrees. 
 First the king himself, to a very large propor¬ 
 tion : then the several other bishops, deans, deans 
 and chapters, nobility, doctors of divinity, law, 
 and physic, proctors of the arches, &c. aldermen 
 of London, private gentlemen throughout the 
 several counties, serjeants at law, colleges in both 
 universities, city and chamber of London, and 
 several companies in the same city: whereunto 
 likewise was much added, as well by many 
 ample legacies of sundry private persons, as by 
 money in the hands of divers bishops and their 
 commissaries, designed to charitable uses; as 
 also by public collections from the clergy of 
 England, and from the particular counties, cities, 
 and boroughs of this realm. So that on the 
 1 Gtli of December, ann. 1632, (8 Car.) the 
 before-specified Commissioners began their meet¬ 
 ings, and concluded of certain orders p for regu¬ 
 lation of all things touching the said repair: 
 and in April next ensuing, (9 Car.) the work itself 
 was begun, the houses adjoining to and near the 
 Church being compounded for and pulled down, 
 and a great part of the churchyard paled in for 
 
 masons to work in ; whereby the sermons, which 
 usually had been at the Cross,- were removed 
 into the Quire* there being in ready money then 
 brought in (as by a certificate appeared) the sum 
 of 5416/. 13.?. 6d. And on the 26th of June’ 
 was issued out 2000/. of the said money unto 
 Michael Grigg, Esq., Paymaster for the said 
 work. Whereupon an Order was signed the same 
 day to Inigo Jones, Esq., Surveyor of his Ma¬ 
 jesty’s Works, to cause the inclosures and scaf¬ 
 foldings to be set in hand, with direction to 
 begin the repair at the south-east end, and to 
 bring it along by the south to the west end. 
 
 And soon after, viz..the said bishop, 
 
 who made use of all opportunities to advance 
 this noble work, laid the first stone at the east 
 end thereof: the second stone being then laid 
 by Sir Francis Windebanke, Ivnt., one of his 
 Majesty's principal Secretaries of State; the 
 third by Sir Ilenry Martin, then Judge of the 
 Prerogative Court; and the fourth by the before- 
 specified Inigo Jones, Surveyor-General of this 
 work. Neither did this worthy bishop cease 
 from the carrying it on after he was removed 
 to the See of Canterbury, which was in Sep¬ 
 tember following; but in all things shewed 
 himself a pious and powerful furtherer thereof*. 
 
 Nor was the king himself without an high 
 sense of the honour done unto Christian re¬ 
 ligion ; and the fame which would redound to 
 this whole English nation, by thus restoring to 
 life so signal a monument of his renowned 
 ancestors’ piety, (I mean King Ethelbert and the 
 other Saxon kings,) as may seem by that most 
 magnificent and stately portico, with Corin¬ 
 thian pillars, which at his ow’n charge he erected 
 at the west end thereof |; where he placed the 
 statues of his royal father (King James) and

 “ Charles Rex, 
 
 Most reverend father in God, right trusty and right entirely beloved counsellor, we greet you well. You know 
 
106 
 
 die fnstorp of 
 
 himself for a lasting memorial of this their such, as usually by walking in the body of 
 advancement of so glorious a work: which the Church disturbed the solemn servrce m 
 portico was intended to be an ambulatory for the Quire'. 
 
 „ ith what princely care wc have hitherto pursued the repair of St. Paul's Church in London, and of how great 
 necessity the work is for the church and honour of the kingdom: yet we ate not ignorant what jealousies have 
 been cast amongst our loving people by some ill affected persons both to ourself and that glorious work; to the 
 work as if it were neither fit nor possible to be compassed; not fit, being a slander upon Gods serv.ee, and not to 
 bo compassed, being a scandal upon the nation; to ourself as if contrary to our just and princely disposition the 
 work were hut pretended by us to get some great sum of money together, and then to turn it to other uses; a 
 thine not more base in itself, than hateful to all our free and princely thoughts, which by God’s grace we have 
 hitherto preserved constant and entire to the service of God in all kinds, and by the same assistance, shall least of 
 all brine into suspicion in this. These are tl.erefore to let you know, that against all false and scandalous rumours, 
 we resolve to go really on with this great work ; and do further hereby require you cheerfully to continue that 
 care and pains, which you have hitherto taken in the business; and withal to send a copy of these our Letters to 
 our trusty and well beloved, the lord mayor and aldermen of our city of London, that they may both themselves 
 see and inform the city of the clearness and the honour of all our intentions herein. And whereas of our princely 
 bounty we promised five hundred pounds a year towards that work, for the space of ten years, which for these 
 [three] years past we have duly paid into the chamber of London by your hands; these are further to let you 
 know that we are resolved to enlarge that bounty of ours, and to undertake the whole repair of the west end of 
 that ’church without having any to share in the honour of that particular with us, which will rise to a far 
 greater sum than at first we promised, toward work as we will have the fifteen hundred pounds go, which 
 we have already paid in, so will we also for the future pay all such monies as shall be necessary for it, into the 
 chamber of London, as we have begun, that the clearness of our proceedings, and the fairness of the accompt may 
 appear to all men. And we do hereby require you to call upon our surveyor to use all care and industry for 
 the setting forward of this work; not doubting but that this our princely example will stir up both them of our 
 city of London, and all other of our loving subjects to enlarge themselves and their bounty towards it. Given 
 under our Signet at our Palace of Westm. the 23d day of April, in the tenth year of our reign.” 
 
 • This profanation is mure than once alluded to in the humorous Tracts of Thomas Deltkar. 
 
 In “ The dead Tearrne, or Westminster's Speech to London,” 4to. 1607, signat. D. 4 b, St. Pauls Steeple is 
 introduced as describing the company walking in the body of the Church beneath. “ At one time, in one and 
 the same ranke, yea, foote by foote, and elbow by elbow, shall yon see walking, the Knight, the Gull, the Gal- 
 lant the Upstart, the Gentleman, the Clowne, the Captaine, the Appel-Sqnire, the Lawyer, the Usurer, the Cittiaen, 
 the Bankerout, the Schollar, the Beggar, the Doctor, the Ideot, the Ruffian, tl.e Cheater, the Puritan, the Cut¬ 
 throat, the Hye-Men, the Low-Men, the True Man, and the Thiefc ; of all Trades and Professions some, of all 
 Countryes some. Thus whilest Devotion kneeles at her Prayers, doth Profanation walke under her nose in con- 
 tempt of Religion.”

 selfe in Powles-Walkes. ’ 
 
 In “ The burnynge of Paules Church in London in the yeare of oure Lord 15DI in the ‘ 
 an Addicion, wyth an Appologye written and cast in the stretes of West Chester, agaynst the causes of burnyng 
 Paules Church in London: whych causes the reverend Byshop of Duresme declared at Paules Crosse S Junii, loGl 
 bi°nat G. iiii. we have the following remarks on this and other practises here. “ No place Lais bene more abused 
 than Pauls hais bene, nor more against the receyving of Christes Gospell : whorfore it is more marvaile that 
 God spared it so longe, rather than that he overthrewe it nowe. From the toppe of the steple downc within the 
 arounde no place hais bene free. From the toppe of the spire at Coronations, or other solcmne tnumphes, some 
 for vain glory used to throw themselves downe by a rope, and so killed themselves vainly to please other mens 
 eyes. At the battlcmentes of the Steple sundrye times were used their popishe Antems to call upon their Goddcs 
 with torch and taper in the Eveninges. In the top of one of the pinacles is Lollers towre, where manyc an 
 innocent soule hais bene by theym cruellye tormented and murthered. In the middest alley was their longe Censer 
 reaching from the rofe to the ground, as though the Iloly Ghost came in their censing down in liknes of a Dove. 
 On the°Arches though commenly men complaine of wrong and delayed judgemente in Ecclesiasticall causes, yet 
 because I wyll not judge by here saye I passe over it, savinge onely for such as have bene condemned there by 
 Annas and Caiphas for Christes cause, as innocently as any Christians coulde be. For their images hanged on 
 every walle, pillar, and doore, with their pilgrimages and worshippinge of them, I will not stand to rehearse them, 
 because they can not be unknowen to all men that have scene London, or hearde of them. Their massing and 
 many altars wyth the rest of their Popyshe servyce whiche he so much extolles, I passe over, because I aunswered 
 them afore. The South Alley for Usurye and Poperye, the North for Simony, and the Horse faire in the middest 
 for all kind of bargains, metinges, brawlinges, murthers, conspiracies, and the Font for ordinary paimentes of 
 money, are so well knovven to all menne as the begger knowes his dishe.”

 And in this noble manner, as we have seen, 
 it was carried on for the space of above nine 
 years, many persons most piously tendering 
 God’s glory therein, contributing largely to it. 
 Amongst which Sir Paul Pinder, Knt. (some 
 
 time ambassador' for King James at Constan¬ 
 tinople), is especially to be remembered; who 
 having at his own charge first repaired the 
 decays of that goodly Partition made at the 
 west end of the quire; adorning the front thereof, 
 
 The expression “ to dine with Duke Humphrey,” applied to persons, who being unable either to procure a 
 dinner by their own money or from the favour of their friends, walk about and loiter during Dinner time, had its 
 origin in one of the Ailes of St. Paul’s, which was called Duke Humphrey’s Walk: not that there ever was in 
 reality a Cenotaph there to the Duke’s memory, who, every one knows, was buried at St. Alban’s, in Hertfordshire* 
 but because, says Stowe, ignorant people mistook the fair Monument of Sir John Beauchampe, who died in 135S, 
 and which was in the south side of the Body of the Church, for that of Humphrey Duke of Gloucester. (See 
 Brand’s Pop. Antiq. edit. 1813, vol. ii. p. 670 . See also Sandford, Genealog. Hist. p. 317- Reed’s edit, of Shaksp. 
 vol. xiv. pp. 458, 459, &c.) 
 
 The Simony, and Chaffering for Benefices, slightly alluded to above, is more particularly described in the follow¬ 
 ing Satire of Bishop Hall: 
 
 “ Saw’st thou euer Siquis patch’d on Paul’s Church dore, 
 
 To seek some vacant Vicarage before? 
 
 Who wants a Churchman that can seruice say. 
 
 Read fast, and faire, his monthly Iiomiley? 
 
 And wed, and bury, and make Christen-soules ? 
 
 Come to the left-side Alley of Saint Poules. 
 
 Thou seruile Foole: why could'st thou not repaire 
 To buy a Benefice at Steeple-Faire ? 
 
 There moughtest thou for but a slender price 
 Aduowson thee with some fat benefice: 
 
 Or if thee list not wayt for dead mens shoo'n, 
 
 Nor pray ech-morn th’ Incumbents daies wer done : 
 
 A thousand Patrons thither ready bring 
 Their new-falne Churches to the Chaffering; 
 
 Stake three yearcs Stipend; no man asketh more: 
 
 Go take possession of the Church-Porch-doore, 
 
 And ring thy bels: lucke-stroken in thy fist: 
 
 The Parsonage is thine, or ere thou wist. 
 
 Saint Fooles of Gotam mought thy parish bee, 
 
 For this thy base and seruile Symonie.” 
 
 Virgidem. 12mo. Lond. 1597- Lib. ii. sat. J. 
 
 Chaucer, 
 
 thing. 
 
 in the Prologue to his Canterbury Tales, when describing the Parson, has an evident allusion to the same 
 
 “ He sette not his Benefice to hire. 
 
 And lette his shepe accombred in the mire, 
 And ran unto London, unto S. Poules, 
 
 To seken him a Chanterie for soules, 
 
 Or with a Brotherhede to be wit hold; 
 
 But dwelt at home, and kept well his folde.” 
 
 Mr. Warton, however, (Contin. Hist. Eng. Poet. p. 21.) has furnished us with a more immediate explanation 
 of Si Quis; which, he says, were the first words of Advertisements often published on the Doors of Saint Pauls. 
 
 Decker, in “ The Guls Horne Booke,” 1609, p. 21, says, “ The first time that you enter into Paules, pass thorough 
 the body of the Churche like a porter; yet presume not to fetch so much as one whole turne in the middle ile, 
 nor to cast an eye vpon Siquis Doore, pasted and plaistered up with seruingmens supplications, &c.” 
 
 As early as 1371, the forty-fifth year of Edward III., we find the King complaining to the Bishop of London 
 of many abuses in his Cathedral, which were practised with the Bishop’s connivance. That the refectory of 
 the Canons was become the eating place and office of mechanics, and the lurking place and receptacle of whore¬ 
 mongers. He also complains of other enormities, which, he says, royal decency forbids him to particularize. See

 excellent carving, viz. of cherubins, and other 
 imagery, richly gilded; adding costly suits ot

 Steeple, which was intended to be wholly taken 
 down; and, by stronger pillars to support it,

 And, to the intent that posterity may see

 then had, by the vast sums of money which 
 were given, within the compass of a few years,

 terity by the next age than this,) there was 
 not only an unhappy period put to this glorious 
 work; but, by the votes of both Houses, made 
 in the late long parliament, Sept. 10 and 11, 
 an. 1642, for the abolishing of bishops, deans, 
 and chapters, &c. in pursuance of their solemn 
 league and covenant with the Scots, (which votes 
 were confirmed by an Ordinance of that Parlia¬ 
 ment in January following,) the very foundation 
 of this famous Cathedral was utterly shaken 
 in pieces; which consisted 1 of the Bishop, Dean, 
 Chief Chanter, Chancellor, Treasurer; five Arch- 
 Deacons, viz. London, Middlesex, Essex, Col¬ 
 
 chester, and St. Albans; thirty Prebendaries, 
 twelve Petty Canons, and six Vicars Choral. 
 So that the next year following, 1643, (Isaac 
 Penington being Lord Mayor,) the famous Cross 
 in the churchyard, which had been for many 
 ages the most noted and solemn place in this 
 nation, for the gravest divines and greatest 
 scholars to preach at, was, with the rest of the 
 Crosses about London and Westminster, by 
 further order of the said Parliament, pulled down 
 to the ground. 
 
 And in March ensuing, the houses and reve¬ 
 nues belonging to the Dean and Chapter of 
 this Cathedral, were seized on by order likewise 
 of the said Parliamenttogether with all money, 
 goods, and materials, bought, or given and 
 brought into any place, for repairing or furnish¬ 
 ing of this Church, or appertaining thereto, in 
 whose hands soever: out of the profits thereof, 
 it being ordered, that Doctor Cornelius Burgess 
 (one of the assembly of divines, constituted by 
 authority of the same long parliament,) should 
 receive 400/. per an. and the Deanry of Paul’s

 for his habitation: all which was confirmed by 
 an ordinance of the said parliament, 23 April, 
 anno 1645*. 
 
 The repair therefore thus ceasing, as hath 
 been said, some part of the materials remaining, 
 were, by order of the House of Lords, Aug. 29, 
 1645, delivered to the parishioners of St. Gre¬ 
 gory’s, towards the rebuilding of that church; 
 which, being old, had been pulled down, in 
 regard it was thought to be a blemish to this 
 stately Cathedral, whereunto it adjoined. And 
 the before-specified scaffolds assigned to Colonel 
 Jephson's regiment, for 1746/. 15s. Sd. due 
 thereunto from the said parliament, and in 
 arrear. 
 
 Whether then, viz. at the time that the scaf¬ 
 folds were pulled down, for the benefit of the 
 soldiers, it was that the stalls in the quire were 
 all taken away; as also part of the pavement 
 torn up, and monuments either utterly demolished 
 or defaced, I cannot say: but sure I am, that 
 for the better disposal of the timber so em¬ 
 ployed for scaffolds, and otherwise, much of it 
 w r as sawed up in the Church, pits being digged 
 for that purpose in several places thereof; even 
 where some reverend bishops, and other persons 
 of quality, lay interred. Since which time the 
 body of the Church was frequently converted to 
 a horse-quarter for soldiers; and part of the 
 quire, with the rest of the building eastwards 
 
 from it, by a new partition wall, made of brick, 
 in anno 1649, disposed of for a preaching place; 
 and the entrance into it at the uppermost win¬ 
 dow, on the north side, eastwards; where, for 
 the advantage of the before specified Doctor Bur¬ 
 gess, (as I have heard,) who had an assignation 
 out of the lands of this Church of four hundred 
 pounds per an. for a lecture; there were weekly 
 sermons, unto which divers citizens, with some 
 others, did usually resort. 
 
 So that what the Lord Brooke, passing y by 
 water, upon the Thames, March 13, anno 1640, 
 with three other lords, said 2 concerning this 
 famous Cathedral; viz. “ That he hoped that 
 one of them should live to see no one stone left 
 upon another of that building,” was like enough 
 to have been soon after fulfilled : for, by taking 
 away the inner scaffolds which supported the 
 arched vaults, in order to their intended repair, 
 the whole roof of the south cross tumbled 
 down; and the rest, in several places of the 
 Church, did often fall. Out of a sad contem¬ 
 plation, therefore, that so glorious a structure, 
 thus raised, enriched, and beautified by the piety 
 of our deceased ancestors, should be utterly 
 destroyed, and become a woful spectacle of 
 ruin ; I did adventure, though much unworthy 
 for such an undertaking, to give some repre¬ 
 sentation, as well to the present age, as future 
 times, of what it had beenf. And having done 
 
 • The following Extracts from the Journals of the House of Commons, afford further proofs of the destruction 
 made here during the great Rebellion: 
 
 “ Die Luna* 2° Januarii 164-j. Resolved, That my Lord Petre’s House in Aldcrsgate Street, and the Dean of 
 Paules his House near Paulcs, shall be appointed Prisons to receive the Prisoners that are coming from Chichester, 
 and such other Prisoners as the Houses shall appoint: and that Mr. White be appointed Keeper of my Lord Peter’s 
 House, and Mr. Dillingham Keeper of the Dean of Paules his House: and the Committee for Prisons, where 
 Mr. Trenchard has the Chair, is appointed to prepare an Ordinance to this Purpose, and to consider to what 
 Prisons those prisoners shall be sent and appointed as come from Chichester.” Journ. vol. ii. p. 910. 
 
 “ Die Mercurii, 17 Aprilis 1544. Resolved, &c. That the Chest, or Silver Vessel, in Pauls, shall be sold for

 “ Die Mercurii, 24 Aprilis l544. Ordered, That the materials informed of by Sir Robert Harley, be forthwith

 t In addition to Sir William Dugdale’s account of the ancient fabric of St. Paul’s, it may not be. irrelevant to 
 
 add a few notices of historical and other extraordinary events which, from time to time, took place beneath 
 
 its roof. 
 
 Here, in 1213, King John’s acknowledgment of Pope Innocent’s supremacy was publicly read. (Chron. Tho. Wikes. 
 Gale Hist. Angl. Script, vol. ii. p. 37.) 
 
 “ About the Feast of St. Michael," says Stow, in the year 1349, “ more than a hundred and twenty persons of 
 Zealand and Holland, comming through Flanders unto London, sometime in the Church of St. Paul, sometime in

 myself obliged unto, merely as I am a son of relation to this particular Cathedral whatsoever,) 
 
 other places of the City, twise in the day, in the sight of all' the people, from the loyncs unto the heeles, covered 
 in linnen cloth, all the rest of their bodies being bare, having on their heads hats, with red crosses before and 
 behind, every one in their right hands a whip with three cords, each cord having a knotte in the middest, beate 
 themselves on their bare bloudie bodies going in procession, four of them singing in their owne language, all the 
 other answering them.” (Annales, cd. 1631. p. 246.) 
 
 Here, in 1377, the reformer Wiclif was cited to account for his doctrines. He appeared in the Church accom¬ 
 panied by the Duke of Lancaster, and Lord Percy, Earl Marshal of England. The tierce dispute which ensued 
 between Courtney Bishop of London and the Duke of Lancaster, is detailed at considerable length by Fuller. 
 (Ch. Hist. B. iv. Cent. 14.) 
 
 In 1399, says Stow, the body of Richard the Second “ was brought to the Tower of London, and so through 
 the City to Paul’s Church bare faced, where he stood three dayes for all beholders, and had service, where King Henry 
 was present. From thence he was carried to Langley, and there buried in the Church of the Friers Preachers.” 
 (Ann. p. 325.) 
 
 Here, in 1422, the body of Henry the Fifth was rested in its way to Westminster, and his exequies solemnized. 
 (Ibid. p. 363.) 
 
 Fabyan informs us that in 1424, in the third year of Henry the Sixth, “ the kynge, with the quene his moder 
 came thorugh the Cytie from Wyndesore: and when he came at the west dore of Paulys, the Lord Protectour toke 
 hyin out of the chare, and so [he] was ladde upon his fete, betwene the said Lorde Protectour and the Duke of 
 Exceter, unto the steppes goynge into the quyer, fro whens he was borne unto the hygh aulter, and there kneled in 
 a travers prepared for hym. And whan he had be there, he yode to the rode of the north dore, and ther made his 
 offerynges; he was then borne into the churche yarde, and there set upon a fayre courser, and so conveyed thorugh 
 Chepe, and the other stretes of the Cytie, unto Seynt Georges Barrc, and so held his iournay to his manour of 
 Kcnyngton." (Edit. 1811. p. 594.) 
 
 In 1458, when Henry the Sixth and the Duke of York were reconciled, “ For the outward publishing of this 
 joyful agreement,” says Stow, “ there was upon our Lady day in Lent, or five and twentieth day of March, a 
 solemne procession celebrated within the Cathedrall Church of Saint Paule in the City of London: at the which 
 the King was present in his habit royall with the Crowne on his head; before him went, hand in hand, the Duke 
 of Somerset, the Earle of Salisbury, the Duke of Exccster, and the Earle of Warwicke, and so one of the one fac¬ 
 tion, and an other of the other. And behindc the King, the Duke of Yorke and the Queen with great familiarity 
 to all mens sights, whatsoever was meant to the contrary, which appeared afterward.” (Annales, p. 404.) 
 
 King Henry the Sixth again visited St. Pauls in 1460, when the Duke of York was, by sound of trumpet, pro¬ 
 claimed heir apparent to the Crown of England and Protector of the Realm. (Ibid. p. 411.) 
 
 On the 28th of June, 146l, King Edward the Fourth was crowned at Westminster, “and on the morrow after” 
 says Stow, “ the King was crowned againe in Westminster Abbey, in the worship of God and St. Peter: and on 
 the next morrow, he went crowned in St. Pauls Church in London, in the honor of God and Saint Paul and 
 there an Angell came downe and censed him, at which time was so great a multitude of people in Pauls as ever 
 was scene in any daies.” (Ibid. p. 416.) 
 
 After the battle of Carnet, in 1471, on “ the morrow after Easter day, were the bodies of the Earle of War¬ 
 wick and the Marques Mountacute laid naked in Pauls Church, that all men might see them, for the space of 
 
 three or foure daies, and then buried at Bissam Priory in Barkshire.” (Ibid. p. 423. See also Fabyan, ut supr 
 
 p. 661 .) 
 
 On the 21st of May, says Stow, in the same year, “ King Edward came to London, with thirty thousand 
 
 men: and the same night, King Henry was murthered in the Tower of London: On the morrow he was brought 
 
 thorow Cornhiil, from the Tower with a great company of men, bearing weapons as they should have led him 
 to some place of execution, to Saint Pauls Church in London, in an open coffin, bare faced, where he bled: 
 thence he was carried to the Black Friers, and there bled: and thence to Chertsey Abbey in a boat, where he 
 was then buried.” (Stow, Ann. p. 424.) 
 
 After the battle of Bosworth, in 1485, Henry the Seventh came with great pomp to Saint Pauls, “ where he 
 offered his three standards, one of Saint George, the second a Red Dragon, the third a Dun Cow. After his 
 prayers said, and * Te Deum’ sung, hee departed to the Bishops Palace, where he sojourned a season.” (Ibid, 
 p. 471.) 
 
 In 1492, “ the 6th of Aprill, the Nobles of the Rcalme, Hugh Clopton maior of London, his brethren the 
 aldermen, sheriffes, and companies of the Citty in their liveries, assembled in the Cathedrall Church of Saint Paul, 
 where Doctor Morton, Archbishop of Canterbury, Chancellor of England, made to them an Oration, declaring how 
 the King of Spaine had won the great and rich Citty and Countrey of Granado from the Moores; for joy whereof, 
 
 ‘ Te Deum’ was sung with great solemnity.” (Ibid. p. 474.)

 Here, says Fabyan, in 1504, “ upon Saynt Georges Day, the Kyng went in procession, where was showed a 
 legge of Saynt George, closed in sylver, whych was newly sent to the Kyng.” (Chron. edit. 1811. p.688.) 
 
 Here also in 1507, Prince Arthur was married to the Lady Katherine of Spaine. The Archbishop of Can¬ 
 terbury! assisted by nineteen bishops and abbats mitred, performed the ceremony. The Lady Cicile, sister to the 
 Queen, carried the princesse's train, and after her followed a hundred Ladies and Gentlewomen in costly apparel.” 
 (Stow, p. 483.) 
 
 In 1514, “ the 19th of May, was received into London a Cap of Maintenance, and a Sword, sent from Pope 
 July the Second, with a great company of noblemen and gentlemen; which Cappe and Sword,” says Stow, “ was 
 presented to King Henry the Eighth on the next Sunday, with great solemnity, in the Cathedral Church of 
 St. Paul." (Ibid. p. 495.) 
 
 On Whitsunday, June 8th, 1522, Cardinal Wolsey sung the Mass in St. Pauls, in the presence of King Henry 
 the Eighth and the Emperor Charles the Fifth. (Ibid. p. 516.) 
 
 In 1535, says Stow, “ on the five and twentieth day of May was in St. Paul’s Church at London examined 
 nineteene men and sixe women borne in Holland, whose opinions were, first, that in Christ is not three natures, 
 God and man; secondly, that Christ tooke neither flesh nor bloud of the Virgin Mary; thirdly, that Children 
 borne of Infidels shall be saved; fourthly, that Baptisme of Children is to none effect; fiftly, that the Sacrament 
 of Christ’s bodic is but bread onely; sixtly, that hee who after his baptisme sinneth wittingly, sinneth deadly, and 
 cannot be saved. Fourteene of them were condemned: a man and a woman of them were burned in Smith-field ; 
 the other twelve were sent to other townes there to be brent.” (Ibid. p. 571.) 
 
 In 1547, we are informed by the same writer, “ the 17th of November, was begun to be pulled downe the 
 Roode in Paules Church, with Mary and John, and all other Images in the Church, and then the like was done 
 in all the Churches in London, and so throughout England, and Texts of Scriptures were written upon the wall 
 of those Churches against Images, &c.” (Ibid. p. 595.) 
 
 Strypc, in his Ecclesiastical Memorials, under the year 1550, says, “ Order had been given in June the last 
 year, from the Council to Bishop Bonner, against the use of Masses said privately in some of the chapels in 
 St. Paul’s under the name of Our Ladies Communion: and, that for the future, (to prevent it,) the Communion 
 should be celebrated no where else but at the High Altar, and at no time else but at the times when the High 
 Masses used to be said. Of which Order of Council the Bishop certified the Dean and Chapter. Yet still, to this 
 time, [the close of the year,] even under Ridley who was now Bishop, the Communion was celebrated with such 
 superstitious as though it were a Mass. Of this some informed the Council, and that when the Eucharist was 
 celebrated, it was in effect a Mass. Whereupon the Council thought fit to appoint certain intelligent persons, 
 favourers of the Gospel, to go to Pauls, and there to observe well what Deviations were made from the late 
 Order prescribed. For Octob. 11, 1550, it was ordered, ‘ that Thomas Astely join with two or three more honest 
 Gentlemen in London for the Observation of the usage of the Communion in Pauls; whereof Information was 
 oiven, that it was used as the very Mass/ Such a secret good will did many of the Priests and Churchmen 
 belonging to the Cathedral, still bear to the old former usages.” (Eccles. Mem. vol. ii. p. 237-) 
 
 “ The First of November, 1552, being the Feast of All Saints, the new Service Booke called Of Common 
 
 Prayer, began in Paules Church, and the like through the whole Citie, the Bishop of London, Doctor Ridley, 
 
 executing the service in Paules Church in the forenoone in his rochet only, without coape or vestment, preached 
 in the quier: and at afternoone hee preached at Paul’s Crosse, the Lord Maior, Aldermen, and Crafts in their best 
 livories being present: which Sermon, tending to the setting forth the said late made Booke of Common Prayer, 
 continued till almost five of the clocke at night. By this Booke of Common Prayers all coapes and vestments 
 were forbidden through England, and Prebends of Paules left off their hoods; the Bishops left their crosses, &c. as 
 by an Act of Parliament more at large is set out.” (Stow, Ann. p. 608.) 
 
 “ After the Feast of All Saints, (in the same year,) the upper Quire in St. Paules Church, where the high 
 
 Altar stoode, was broken downe, and all the Quire thereabout: and the Table of the Communion was set in the 
 lower, where the priests sing.” (Ibid.) 
 
 The temporary restoration of the Romish Service at St. Paul’s during the short reign of Mary is also noticed by 
 our Historians. The continuator of Fabyan says, in 1553, “ On S. Katherins dayc, after even song, began the 
 Quere of Paules to goe about the steple singing, with lightes, after the olde custome.” (Fabyan Chron. p. 712.) 
 
 Grafton informs us, that on “ the xxvii of August,” that year, “ the Service began again in Latin in Paules 
 Church, after the use of Sarum.” (Abridgem. of the Chron. of Englande, Svo. Lond. 1570. fol. 163 b. See also

 Stow, p. 6l6.) The conlinuator of Fabyan, however, says, that “ On Sainct Andrewes day beganne the Procession 
 in Latin, the bishop, curates, persones, and the whole quier of Paules, with the maior and divers aldermen, and 
 the prebendes in their grey ammes, and thus continued thre daies following.” (Fabyan, p. 713.) 
 
 Jn 1554, October the 18th, Philip King of Spain “ came down on horseback from Westminster unto Paul’s, with 
 many Lords, being received under a Canopy at the West end. And the Lord Viscount Mountague bare the sword 
 afore the King. There he heard Mass, sung by Spaniards, a Spanish Bishop celebrating: and after Mass he went 
 back to Westminster to dinner.” (Strype, Eccles. Mem. vol. iii. p. 201.) 
 
 Strype, also, gives us the following account of the Obsequies which were performed here in June 1555 for the 
 Queen of Spain. “ On the 11th day, an Herse at St. Paul’s, for the Queen of Spain, the King’s grandmother, 
 began to be set up; the which was the goodliest that ever was seen in England; the bare Frame whereof, the 
 work of the Carpenter, cost <£15. On the 17th it was finished; being placed above the Choir, and the sides, and 
 under foot, and the body of the Church, hung with black and arms; together with thirty-six dozen of Pensils of 
 silk, wrought with gold and silver, and sixteen bannerols of Arms, and four banners of white Images, wrought with 
 fine gold. Over night was the Dirge, and the next day the Morrow’s Mass, when many mourners attended. The 
 first whereof was a stranger, then the Earl of Shrewsbury, the Earl of Pembroke, the Lord Treasurer, Sir Richard 
 Southwell, and many more, as well English as Spaniards; and seven score of poor men, having new black gowns, 
 
 all holding Torches in their hands. And after Mass, a great dinner at the Bishop of London’s Palace with great 
 
 plenty. About the preparation for this solemnity, the Lord Treasurer wrote thus unto the Bishop of London, 
 June 7- ‘ After my right harty commendations to your good Lordship, I shall not forget the Livery of black 
 
 * against this time: no more shall Master Dean, to whom I wrote to make the Sermon, who must now assuredly 
 4 do it, for my Lord of Chichester cannot attend it, to whom I have given like knowledge by my letter now sent. 
 ‘ And your Lordship must command your Sextons of the Church to be in a readiness of singing in the time of 
 4 service. And if ye be not furnished with black apparel for the altar, and for the Priest, Deacon, and Sub- 
 4 deacon, I must have knowledg thereof, that it be taken of the Queen's stuff. Wherof I pray you let me be 
 4 advertised.’” (Eccles. Mem. vol. iii. p. 220.) 
 
 An Anecdote or two preserved by our Historians, illustrative of the Exterior of old St. Paul’s, still remain to 
 be recorded. 
 
 In 1553, when Queen Mary rode through London to Westminster, the day before her coronation, “ one Peter, 
 a Dutchman, stood on the Weathercock of Paules Steeple, holding a streamer in his hand of five yards long, 
 and waving thereof, stood sometime on the one foote and shook the other, and then kneeled on his knees, to the 
 great marvaile of all people. Hee had made two scaffolds under him, one above the Crosse, having Torches and 
 streamers set on it, and one other over the bole of the Crosse, likewise set with streamers and Torches, which 
 could not burne, the winde was so great: the sayd Peter had sixetcene pound thirteene shilling and four pence 
 given him by the City for his costes and paines, and all his stuffe.” (Stow, Ann. p. 617.) 
 
 In “ The Copie of a Letter sent in to Scotland of the arivall and landynge and most noble marryage of the 
 most illustre Prynce Philyppe, Prynce of Spaine, to the most excellent Princes Marye Quenc of England,” l2mo. 
 Lond. [1555,] we have an instance of a species of amusement practised amongst us about half a century ago, and 
 perpetuated in Hogarth’s print of Southwark Fair. The King and Queen, having viewed the pageant in Chepe, 
 “ wente towards S. Paules Church, and in their way a skoller of Paules skoole decked up in cloth of gold, dely- 
 vered unto the King’s highnes a fayre boke, which he receaved very ientlye. Where also a fellow came slipping 
 
 upon a corde as an arrow out of a bow, from Paules steple to the grounde, and lighted with his heade 
 
 forwarde on a great sorte of fether beds: and after he claime up the corde againe and done certaine feats." 
 
 (Sign. C. iii.) A similar feat had been exhibited at St. Paul’s before King Edward the Sixth, when he came in 
 
 procession from the Tower to his Coronation. (See Strutt’s Sports and Pastimes, edit. 1801. p. 168. from Archaeol.) 
 
 On “ the eight of September,” 1588, says Stow, “ the preacher of Paules Crosse mooved the people to give 
 God thankes for the overthrow of our enemies the Spaniardes, and there were shewed eleven Ensignes, or Banners, 
 taken in the Spanish shippes by our men, these Ensignes were set upon the lower battlements of Paule’s Church 
 before the preacher and the audience, (which was great,) all saving one streamer, wherein was an image of our 
 Lady, with her sonne in her armes, &c. and this was held in a man’s hand over the pulpit.” (Stow, Ann. p. 751.) 
 
 The first Lottery in England, of which we have any account, was drawn at the west door of St. Paul's Ca¬ 
 thedral in 1569» and consisted of forty thousand lots, at ten shillings each lot. The prizes were plate, and the 
 profits were to be applied toward repairing the havens of the kingdom. Stow (Ann. p. 663,) says, it “ began to 
 be drawn the 11th of January, and continued, day and night, till the sixth of May.” 
 
 In 15S6, another Lottery was drawn, the prizes of which consisted of 44 rich and beautiful armour: a house of 
 timber and board was erected at the great West Gate of St. Paul’s for the purpose.”

 merits, so deeply bewitched religion itself, as 
 to make it in the end an earnest solicitor, and 
 an eloquent persuader of sacrilege; urging con¬ 
 fidently, that the very best service, which men 
 of power can do to Christ, is, without any more 
 ceremony, to sweep all, and to leave the church 
 as bare as in the day it was first born; and that 
 they which endowed churches with lands, poi¬ 
 soned religion, See. 
 
 “ In a word, that to give unto God, is error: 
 reformation of error, to take from the church that 
 which the blindness of former ages did unwisely give. 
 
 “ By these, or the like suggestions,” saith lie, 
 “ received with full joy, and with like sedulity 
 practised in certain parts of the Christian world, 
 they have brought to pass, that as David doth 
 say of man, so it is in hazard to be verified 
 concerning the whole religion and service ot 
 God, Psalm xc. 10. The time thereof may 
 peradventure fall out to be threescore and ten 
 years; or if strength do serve unto fourscore, 
 what followeth is like to be small joy for them, 
 whatsoever they be that behold it.” 
 
 In 1612, a third Lottery was appointed to be held at the West end of St. Paul’s, by King James, to encourage 
 
 the plantation of English Colonies in Virginia: The chief prize of which was four thousand crowns in plate. 
 
 A manuscript in the Lansdowne Collection, (Octavo Cat. No. 932, fol. 117 b.) now in the British Museum, 
 preserves a few of the Coats of Arms, which were remaining in the windows of the Cathedral about the year 1609. 
 They were tricked with a pen by Nicholas Charles, Somerset Ilerald. Among them are those of Ralph de llcngham 
 and John of Gaunt. The continuator of Stow informs us that in 1620 three great windows of the Church were newly 
 glazed, in rich colours, with the story of St. Paul. (Stow, Ann. p. 1033.) 
 
 Previous to forming Designs for the general repairs of the Church, which were laid before the King and Com¬ 
 missioners some months before the great Fire, Sir Christopher Wren took an accurate Survey of the ancient Struc¬ 
 
 ture even to inches; in the prosecution of which, it is stated, he was astonished to find how negligent the first 
 builders had been; they seemed Norman, and to have used the Norman foot; but they valued not exactness: some 
 inter-columns were one inch and a half too large, others as much, or more, too little. Nor, he adds, were they 
 true in their levels. (Parentalia, p. 273, 274, 275.) 
 
 Strype, in his Ecclesiastical Memorials, vol. ii. p. 76 , says, “ The King gave, Sept. 27, 1547, to the Dean and 
 Chapter of St. Paul’s London, in consideration of the manor of Roumwcll in Essex, and of the manor of Drayton 
 in Middlesex, and divers other lands, tenements, and rents, and in full execution of King Henry s last will, was 
 granted the advowson of the Rectory of Charing in Kent, and the Chapel of Egerton in the same County, and 
 the Manor of Mockyng in Essex; lately parcel of the possessions of the late Monastery of Berkyng in the said

 stairs ascending thereto: for the fitting whereof 
 to that purpose those stately pillars were shame¬ 
 fully hewed and defaced for support of the 
 timber work f; and the statues of King James, 
 and King Charles the Martyr, (erected on the 
 front thereof) despitefully thrown down and 
 broke in pieces.

 “ May 27, l65l. 
 
 For as much as the Inhabitants of Paul’s Church Yard are much disturbed by the Souldiers and others, calling 
 out to passingers, and examining them, (though they goe peaceably and civilly along,) and by playing at nine 
 pinnes at unseasonable houres; These are therefore to command all Souldiers and others whom it may concerne, 
 that hereafter there shall be no examining and calling out to persons that go peaceably on their way, unlesse 
 they doe approach their Guards, and likewise to forbeare playing at nine pinnes and other sports, from the houre 
 of nine of the clocke in the evening till six in the morning, that so persons that are weake and indisposed to 
 rest, may not be disturbed. Given under our hands the day and yeare above written.

 Chapter, came to enjoy their rightful pos¬ 
 sessions, care was not only taken to prepare 
 some part of the fabric for the service of 
 God, according as it stood by law established, 
 but to proceed in that great work of its repair, 
 so carried on, (as hath been observed,) before 
 those woful distractions, which were occasioned 
 by a predominant party in that unhappy parlia¬ 
 ment begun at Westminster the 3d of No¬ 
 vember, 1640. 
 
 In order whereto, finding the stalls in the 
 Quire, with the organ-loft, totally destroyed, it 
 was concluded, that, for present use, the east 
 part of the Church above the old quire, which 
 since the demolishing of Paul's Cross had been 
 
 converted to a preaching place, whereunto the 
 Lord Mayor and Aldermen usually resorted, 
 might be fitted for divine service ; the then Dean 
 and Canons, at their own charge, enlarging it 
 the length of one arch into the old quire, and, by 
 a new wall severing it therefrom, caused stalls 
 to be placed therein, intending to make use of 
 it accordingly, until the repairs of the remaining 
 part of the old fabric should be fully perfected. 
 
 For the better expediting of which general 
 repair, the King, by his letters patents under 
 the great seal of England, bearing date the 18th 
 day of April, in the 15th year of his reign, 
 (anno scil. 1663,) constituted sundry persons 
 of great honour, and others, Commissioners *;

 Citizens of our said City of London, Greeting. , . 
 
 Whereas We taking into our serious consideration the present state, and great decayes of the Cathedral Church ot 
 Saint Paul in London, being the goodliest Monument, and most eminent Church of our whole Dominions, and a 
 principal Ornament of that our Royal City, the Imperial Seat, and Chamber of this our Kingdom, whither (by 
 reason of the near residence of our Self, and the chief and principal officers of our State and Courts of Justice) 
 there is continual Confluence, both of our own Subjects, and Ambassadors from foreign Princes, and other Strangers; 
 
 In respect whereof, and of onr Zeal to God's glory, and His divine Worship and Service in that goodly Church, 
 and for the honour of our Government, We having an earnest purpose and desire to provide, by all possible means, 
 for the repairing and upholding that magnificent Structure, and restoring the same, (as time and means shall, by 
 God's blessing, give assistance,) unto the ancient Beauty and Glory of it, which hath so much suffered by the 
 iniquity of the late Times, that the Repair thereof is now become a Work of necessity to bo undertaken ; 
 
 And eallinv to mind the pious Care, and gracious Intentions of our most dear and Royal Grandfather, and 
 Father to be” in and set forward that great and honourable Work, we have, of onr Princely bounty and favour 
 already granted umo our right trusty, and right well-beloved Cousins and Counsellours, Edward Lord Ilyde, Earl 
 of Clarendon, Lord High Chancellour of England, and Thomas Earl of Southampton, Lord High Treasurer of Eng¬ 
 land and to the ri»ht reverend Father in God, our now right trusty and well-beloved Counsellor, Gilbert Lord 
 Bishop of London, and John Barwick, Doctor in Divinity, Dean of St. Paul's, London, all arrears of Rem. and 
 Profits unreceived, of all Impropriations, and Ecclesiastical Livings, which arc not pardoned by the Act of I-rcc 
 and General Pardon, Indempnity and Oblivion, towards the repairing, adorning, and beautifying of the said Cathedral 
 Church- and rest assured, that the same will amount to a considerable sum. 
 
 And forasmuch as We are very confident, that not only our Clergy, but many of our Nobility, Gentry, and 
 other our loving Subjects, will be ready to follow our example, by voluntary and liberal Contributions, for the 
 accomplishment of the said work; Our will and pleasure is, and We do hereby give and grant unto you the 
 said right reverend Father in God, Gilbert Lord Bishop of London, and to the Bishop of that See for the time 
 being, full power and authority to provide and keep a Book or Register, (like unto those which were kept in 
 the "times of our said Dear Grand-Father and Father to that purpose,) wherein to take the several Subscriptions 
 of all such of our Nobility, Bishops, Judges, Serjeants and Counsellors ot Law, Officers, and others of quality and 
 ability, as shall willingly contribute to the said Work, for such several sum and sums, as they shall in llieir 
 Christian Charity freely bestow in that behalf; and to cause the money so sobscribed for, to be paid to 
 Sir John Cutler, Knight and Baronet, (who we are pleased shall be Receiver of all the moneys intended for this 
 Work) or such oilier person or persons, as by any six, or more of you said Commissioners (whereof the Lord 
 Bishop of London, or Dean of St. Paul's, London, for the time being to be one) shall be appointed to receive 
 the same. 
 
 And our further will and pleasure is, and We do hereby straitly charge and command the Judges of the Bre- 
 rogative Courts of both Provinces, and the Vicars General, and other officials of the several Bishopneks of this our 
 Kingdom, and Dominion of Wales, that from henceforth they take especial care, out of such moneys as shall 
 froin time to time fall into their power, for, or by reason of Commutations of Penances, or upon any other oc¬ 
 casion whatsoever, to remember that some convenient proportion thereof be assigned, and set apart towards the 
 supply of the said Work, whereof the Bishops in their several Dioceses are to take notice respectively, and to 
 make certificate thereof to the Bishop of London for the time being, at the end of every six moneths; and withal 
 to cause the moneys so reserved, to he sent up and paid to the said Sir John Cutler, or such other person or 
 persons as by you our said Commissioners, or any six, or more of you, (whereof the Lord Bishop of London, or 
 
Saint |Mufs CatfteDral 
 
 119 
 
 particular gilts shall be truly manifested,) the In which much time and cost was spent in 
 work was begun upon the first day of August taking down those houses (that had been built 
 the same year. during the dominion of the late usurpers) at 
 
 Dean of St. Pauls aforesaid, for the time being to be one,) shall be appointed to receive the same within that time 
 accordingly. 
 
 And for a further supply of this great and chargeable Work, which will necessarily require a general and 
 liberal Contribution of all our able Subjects of this Kingdom, to be made by our Letters Patents, to that purpose 
 to be drawn, in a more special manner than ordinary Briefs are wont to be, according to the extraordinary nature 
 of this Case, our will and pleasure is, and we do hereby ordain and appoint, that all such Letters Patents, in 
 nature of Briefs, as shall from time to time be advised, and found needful for the advancing of the said Work, 
 shall be made and granted under our Great Seal of England to that purpose, in such manner, and by such War¬ 
 rant and Direction as hereafter in and by these presents is declared. 
 
 And forasmuch as We are desirous, that an honourable and orderly course may be taken for all things needful 
 for this weighty Business, as well for taking an exact survey of the particular Decayes of the said Church, and 
 calculating the Charge thereof, as for discovering and finding out of all such moneys as are hereby intended to be 
 employed towards the maintenance, repairing, and adorning of the said Church; as also for the safe and orderly 
 collecting and bringing in thereof, and of all materials to be made use of in and towards the Repair of the said 
 Church, and the well disposing, issuing, and employing thereof, and orderly accompting for the same: 
 
 And whereas in order thereunto, and in pursuance of the royal Intentions of our said dear Grand-Father and 
 Father, (who granted several Commissions in order to the accomplishing of this Work, with sundry good Directions 
 to that purpose,) We, of our abundant care, are further resolved to proceed to the acting and executing of that 
 which by the iniquity of the late times was interrupted, and out of the light taken by those Commissioners, and 
 those beginnings, to make an effectual progress, and so to provide, that all other effectual means be used to 
 advance the accomplishment of that great and chargeable undertaking, whereby, and especially by the cheerful 
 and bountiful supply We arc confident will be given by the Citizens and Inhabitants of our said Royal City of 
 London, (to whom we do most passionately recommend the advancement of this worn,) We doubt not to put the 
 same into a probable way for the real and substantial effecting of our princely hope, and earnest desire therein: 
 
 And duly weighing with our self, that as this chargeable Fabrick and goodly Pile of Building could not, in 
 the first foundation thereof, but require both many years of time, and large supplies of publick charity, and 
 yearly Contributions to sustain the charge thereof; so the prosecution of the substantial Repair, and adorning of it, 
 intended by Us, is not to be effected, but by the like means: 
 
 And We well knowing, that the safe keeping of the moneys and materials which shall be provided for so great 
 a Work, and the faithful and frugal disposing thereof for the good use intended, and no other, are principally to 
 be regarded : 
 
 And being informed, that divers persons, to enrich themselves, have sacrilegiously converted to their own private 
 use and advantage, the Organs and Bells, and much of the Plate, Utensils, Ornaments, and materials thereof, and 
 the Scaffolding, Lead, Timber, Stone, and other materials heretofore prepared, for the repair thereof: 
 
 And being very desirous, that a true and perfect discovery may be made of all such Legacies, Gifts, Bequests, 
 Sums of Money, and other profits as have been heretofore given, or intended for the maintaining, repairing or 
 adorning of the said Church, We reposing special trust and confidence in your approved Wisdoms, Sincerities 
 and Dexterities, have made special choice of you, to be our Commissioners, to see our will and pleasure herein 
 declared duly effected, and put into real execution; not doubting, but by the honourable care and judgments of 
 you the Lords of our Privy Council, and the diligence and faithfulness of you the Lord Bishop of London, and 
 the Dean and Residentiaries of that Cathedral Church, and the trust and forwardness of you our other loving 
 Subjects, this great Work shall by the help of many hands, joyned together in one way of integrity, be brought 
 to an happy and glorious conclusion. 
 
 Know ye therefore, that we have assigned and appointed you the said Sir John Robinson, Lord Mayor of our 
 said City of London, and the Lord Mayor of the said City for the time being; William Lord Arch-Bishop of 
 Canterbury, and the Lord Arch-Bishop of Canterbury for the time being; Edward Earl of Clarendon, Lord High

 On the third day oi which month (September) began, in a narrow lane amongst old rotten 
 it was that the great and dreadful fire of London buildings, near to the lower end of Gracechurch 
 
 shall think fit, from time to time, and as often as you, or any six, or more of you, as aforesaid, shall see expe¬ 
 dient, to make, constitute, and appoint such and so many Sub-Committees as you, or any six, or more of you, as 
 aforesaid, shall think meet, for the better managing and carrying on of this Work, and to invest them with such 
 Powers pursuant to the Authorities hereby given, as shall be requisite; and to revoke, annul, and determine the 
 
 same; and to revive and make new the said Sub-Committees, or any other Sub-Committees, when you, or any 
 
 six, or more of you, (whereof the Lord Bishop of London, or the Dean of St. Paul’s for the time being to be one,) 
 shall think fit, and most conducing to the service. 
 
 And We do further give full Power and Authority unto you Our said Commissioners, or any six, or more of 
 you, (whereof the Lord Bishop of London, or the Dean of St. Paul’s for the time being to be one,) to advise, treat, 
 and consider of all other things, ways, and means for the advancement and furtherance of this great and eminent 
 Work, being of so much consequence for preventing the dishonour, which, by the neglect of so ancient a Monu¬ 
 ment, may fall upon Us and our whole Kingdom, and to put the same wayes and means in speedy and due 
 
 execution; for which these Presents shall be to you, and every of you, and all other persons imployed herein, a 
 
 sufficient Warrant and Discharge. 
 
 And lastly, Our Pleasure is, that this our Commission shall continue in force; and We do hereby authorize 
 you our said Commissioners, or any six, or more of you, (whereof the Lord Bishop of London, or the Dean of 
 St. Paul s for the time being to be one,) to proceed in the execution thereof, and of all and every of the matters 
 and things therein contained, from time to time, as often as you, or any six, or more of you, as aforesaid, shall 
 think convenient: although the said Commission be not from time to time continued by Adjournment.

 The roof whereof falling down with a mighty 
 force, broke through those vaults, called the 
 Undercroft; so that under the floor of our Lady 
 Chapel, (eastwards of the quire,) over the roof 
 of St. Faith’s Church, a coffin of lead, lying 
 there, was broke open, and in it found the 
 body of Robert Braybroke, some time Bishop 
 of London", (as by the inscription in brass, 
 formerly tome from the marble covering it, did 
 appear,) having been there laid two hundred 
 and sixty years before; whose corpse was so 
 dried up, the flesh, sinews, and skin cleaving 
 fast to the bones, that, being set upon the feet, 
 it stood as stiff as a plank, the skin being 
 tough like leather, and not at all inclined 
 to putrefaction, which some attributed to the 
 sanctity of the person, offering much money 
 for it. 
 
 The like X then saw of two other bodies so 
 
 dried, which lay in coffins of lead over the 
 vault, in the north isle of the body of this 
 Church ; the coffins being also broke open, and 
 the arches of that vault shattered. 
 
 But herein was nothing supernatural; for that 
 which caused the flesh, skin, and sinews to 
 become thus hard and tough, was the driness 
 and heat of the dust wherein those bodies lay, 
 which was for the most part of rubbish lime, 
 mixed with a sandy earth. Such another having 
 been discovered at Warwick, in the quire of 
 St. Mary’s Church; where, above fifty years 
 before, the corpse of William Parr, Marquess 
 of Northampton", being laid, but then digged 
 up, it did appear to be thus dried, lying in 
 the like rubbish, the quire also standing upon 
 arched vaults, in whose coffin the rosemary and 
 bays was also as fresh as if it had not been 
 there put above ten days before.

 Nor is it strange that such hot and dry 
 ground should produce the like effect; for we 
 read that in the City of Tholouse, in Lan¬ 
 guedoc, (a province of France,) the bodies of 
 those persons which lie buried in the church¬ 
 yard of the Fryers-Minors there, do remain 
 entire, and not subject to putrefaction. “ In

 vel potius specus in EcclesiA. Minoritarum, in 
 cujus parte cadavera infusa non putrescuut, sed 
 integra reservantur.” 
 
 As to the real cause of this dreadful Con¬ 
 flagration of London, there have been various 
 conjectures. Some there are who confidently 
 affirm that it was set on fire by the Papists, 
 in order to an insurrection, and consequently 
 to subvert the government, as was that design 
 of the Gunpowder conspirators in an. 1605 
 (3 Jac.) Of these I find Captain Bedlo one, 
 who saith c , that London was burnt by Romish 
 fire-balls, which they were wont to call Tewks¬ 
 bury mustard-balls, thrown by popish hands. 
 Others suppose it to have been a judgment of 
 God Almighty upon this great City, for its 
 rebellious actings against the late King Charles 
 the Martyr, and tamely permitting his open and 
 shameful murder before the gates of his own 
 royal palace. To countenance which opinion, 
 they vouch that prophetic expression f of Michael 
 Notredamus, (an expert astrologian, and phy¬ 
 sician to Henry II. King of France,) published 
 above an hundred years before; whose words 
 do not only import as much, but point out the 
 very year when it should be so burnt, which 
 I have here transcribed: 
 
 “ Le sang de juste a Londres fera faute, 
 
 Bruslez per foudres, de vingt trois les six. 
 
 La dame antique cherra de place haute; 
 
 De mesme secte plusieurs seront occis.” 
 
 Whereunto the extraordinary dryness of the 
 season, as a preparative, and the wind strangely 
 turning several ways at that time, did not a little 
 contribute, as is very well known. 
 
 Others, that it was done by design of the 
 Fanatics, in order of getting the power of the 
 
 sword into their own cruel hands again: for 
 testimony whereof they say 8 , “ That at the Ses- 
 “ sions in the Old-Baily, John Rathbone, an 
 “ old army-colonel, William Sanders, Henry 
 “ Tucker, Thomas Flynt, Thomas Evans, John 
 “ Miles, William Westcot, and John Cole, for- 
 “ merly officers or soldiers in the late Rebellion, 
 “ were indicted for conspiring the death of his 
 “ Majesty, and the overthrow of the government; 
 “ having laid their plot and contrivance for the 
 “ surprisal of the Tower, the killing of his Grace 
 “ the Lord General; as also of Sir John Robin- 
 “ son, at that time Lieutenant of the said Tower 
 “ of London, and Sir Richard Browne; and 
 “ then to have declared for an equal division 
 “ of lands, Sc c. The better to effect which 
 “ hellish design, the City was to have been 
 “ fired, and the portcullices let down to keep 
 “ out all assistance; the horse-guards to have 
 “ been surprised in the inns where they were 
 “ quartered, several ostlers having been gained 
 “ to that purpose: that the Tower also was 
 “ accordingly viewed, and its surprise ordered 
 “ by boats over the mote; and from thence to 
 “ scale the wall. And that one Alexander (who 
 “ was not then taken) had distributed sums of 
 “ money to those conspirators. Moreover, that 
 “ for carrying on of the design more effectually, 
 “ they w'ere told of a Council of the great ones 
 “ that sate frequently in London, from whom 
 “ issued all orders; which Council received their 
 “ direction from another in Holland, who sate 
 “ with the States; and that the third of Sep- 
 “ tember was pitched upon for the attempt, as 
 “ being found, by Lilly's almanack, and a scheme 
 “ erected for that purpose, to be a lucky day, 
 “ a planet then ruling, which prognosticated the 
 “ downfall of monarchy. The evidence against 
 “ which persons was very full and clear, and 
 “ they accordingly found guilty of high treason.” 
 
 Thus far the Gazette. 
 
 But the profound Mr. Baxter h tells us, that 
 this Fire of London was a judgment of God for 
 casting out the faithful pastors about four years 
 before; putting it upon the sin of the Corporation 
 Act; that is for ejecting those ministers to five

 I will not take upon me to censure either 
 Papist or Fanatic to have had any hand therein, 
 rather supposing it to have been an immediate 
 and signal judgment of God for the great sins of 
 the nation, especially of this capital City; having 
 heard from persons of credit, that some of the 
 family where the fire began (it being a baker’s 
 house) have acknowledged that they did believe 
 it to have been from a decayed oven then heated, 
 in which were some cracks and flaws, that might 
 rationally occasion it: but shall observe, that the 
 ceasing thereof was no less strange than the rage 
 of it whilst it continued, as appears from the 
 inscription engraven upon that fair pillar in 
 memory thereof; which was begun in 1671, 
 Sir Richard Forde then being Lord Mayor, and 
 finished in an. 1677, in the mayoralty of Sir 
 Thomas Davies: the words are these; 
 
 “ Tertio die, cum jam plen& evicerat, humana 
 concilia, & subsidia omnia ; caslitus, ut par est 
 credere, jussus, stetit fatalis ignis, & quaquaver- 
 
 sum elanguit:” i. e. “ Upon the third day, when 
 this fatal lire had manifestly triumphed over all 
 that the wit or art of man could do to oppose it; 
 it stopped and abated every where, by a com¬ 
 mand from Heaven itself, that it should go no 
 further.” 
 
 Having made this large (though I hope not 
 impertinent) digression j', I shall go on where 
 I left. 
 
 The first thing designed after ihis deplorable 
 fire, was to fit some part of the Church, thus 
 ruined, for a Quire; wherein the Dean and 
 Prebends might have divine service, until the 
 repair of the whole, or a new structure could 
 be accomplished: to which end, upon a judi¬ 
 cious view' thereof, it was resolved that part of 
 the body of it, towards the west end, might, 
 with the least charge, be made useful for that 
 purpose. Whereupon workmen were set upon 
 it, and scaffolds raised for search of the walls, 
 and cutting the remainder of the unmelted lead 
 from the high roof, and other parts of the 
 Church X- 
 
 * Dryden, in his “ Annus Mirabilis,” Misc. Works, 8vo. Lond. 1760. vol. i. p. 130, says, 
 
 “ Nor could thy fabric, Paul’s, defend thee long, 
 
 For thou wert sacred to thy Maker’s praise : 
 
 Though made immortal by a Poet's song ; 
 
 And Poets’ songs the Theban walls could raise. 
 
 The daring flames peep’d in, and saw from far 
 The awful beauties of the sacred Quire: 
 
 But since it was prophan’d by civil war, 
 
 Heav'n thought it fit to have it purg’d by fire.” 
 
 t *The author of “ Observations both Historical and Moral upon the Burning of London, September 1666. 
 By Rege Sincera,” 4to. Lond, 1667, (reprinted in the Ilarleian Miscellany, vol. iii. p. 2S2,) says, “ As for Books, 
 the Booksellers, who dwelled for the most part round about the Cathedral Church of St. Paul, had sheltered their 
 Books in a subterraneal Church under the Cathedral, called St. Faith’s, which was propped up with so strong an 
 Arch and massy Pillars, that it seemed impossible the Fire could do any harm to it; but, the lire having crept 
 into it through the windows, it seized upon the Pews, and did so try and examine the Arch and Pillars, by sucking 
 the moisture of the Mortar that bound the Stones together, that it was calcined into Sand: so that, when the 
 top of the Cathedral fell upon it, it beat it flat, and set all things in an irremediable Flame. I have heard 
 judicious Men of that Trade affirm, that the only Loss of Books in that place, and Stationers Ilall, Publick 
 Libraries, and private Houses, could amount to no less than 150,000 Pounds.”

 of the year 1666, the whole year of 1667, and

 the latter end of which two years they fell to 
 casing some of those great and massy pillars, 
 which stood betwixt the middle isle and the

 north door towards the west: but before the

 repaires; that we cannot, as the state of affaires now is, hope suddenly to proceed in that great work as was 
 intended. It being thought necessary in the mean tyme, (till it shall please God to bless us with a more favorable 
 juncture for doing something more lasting and magnificent) that some parte of that venerable pile be forthwith 
 restored to its religious use, where it may be done with the least expense of tyme and treasure: and it being 
 
 also apparent, that the whole East parte of that Cathcdrall is under greater desolation than the rest, not oncly 
 
 the tymber roof being burnt and the stone vaults above for the greatest parte thrown down, and the outwalls 
 there weakened more than in other places; but the very inner wall and pillars betweene the Choire and North 
 Isle being fallen also, (and those on the south side in great danger) and in their fall having broken open the 
 
 vaults into St. Faith's Church; the restoring of which substructions to their former strength, and reareing the said 
 
 walls and pillars to their former height, will both take up more tyme, and cost far more money than the whole 
 work intended to serve the present necessity will require: It was this day ordered, that a Choir and Auditory for 
 present use be forthwith set out, repaired, and finished, and furnished (if it may be) in the course of the next 
 sommer in the body of the Church between the West end and the second pillars above the little North and South 
 dores, (which of all the fabrick remaines most entire and most easily reducible to the intended use) and that the 
 whole management of this Work bee left to the care and directions of the most rev. Father in God Gilbert Lord 
 Archbishop of Canterbury, The Right Hon. Edward Earl of Manchester, Lord Chamberlain of his Majesty’s 
 Iloushold, The right reverend Fathers in God Humphry Lord Bishop of London, George Lord Bishop of Win¬ 
 chester, Benjamin Lord Bishop of Ely, and John Lord Bishop of Rochester, the right worshipfull Sir Richard 
 Chaworth, Vicar Generali of the Province of Canterbury, and the Dean and Chapter of the said Cathcdrall Church 
 for the tyme being, or to any six of them ; to be by them pursued and finished with all convenient speed, in such 
 
 method, by and with the assistance of such artists, officers, and workmen, as they shall think fitt to consult and 
 
 employ therein. 
 
 It was also this day ordered, for the suppressing and preventing of present and future annoyances and encroach¬ 
 ments, that the Churchyard be forthwith walled in, or otherwise enclosed at such distances from the Church on all 
 sides, that the publique way without the said enclosure be left at least as broad in all places as the late Act of 
 Parliament for the rebuilding of the Citty requires: and also that all sheds, shops, and other places, either of abode 
 
 or trade, erected since the fire within the said Inclosure, be forthwith demolished and removed.” 
 
 On March 5th, 1667, a Sub-Committee was appointed for carrying the Order into execution. 
 
 * In the Book of Orders at St. Paul’s is a Copy of the King’s Letter, IS Aug. 1668, requesting that such stony 
 rubbish as may be spared from the uses of the Church may be carried and lodged in the low parts of Fleet Street 
 about the Bridge, the same having been ordered to be raised.

 Whereas upon strict survey and examination of the Ruines of the Cathedrall Church of St. Paul’s in London, by 
 knowing and experienced Artists, it is found that the walls now standing are in all parts so decayed by the late 
 fire, that they are judged altogether insufficient for Rearing another roof, or any new work. It is therefore our 
 express will and pleasure that immediate care be had for takeing down the walls, and cleareing the ground to the 
 foundation of the East End, the old Choir, and the Tower, in such manner as shall be judged sufficient to make 
 room for a new Choir of a faire and decent fabrick neare or upon the old foundations: and also that care be 
 taken to preserve the Cornishes, ashlers, and such other parts of the former towards the West as shall be deemed 
 usefull for the new fabrick; least they be spoiled by the fall of more of the walls, which seeme to threaten imme¬ 
 diate ruine. And for so doing this shall be your Warrant. Given at our Court at Whitehall the 25th Day of 
 July, 1668. 
 
 By his Majesty’s command, 
 
 To the Lords and others, WlLL. MoniCE. 
 
 our Commissioners for the 
 Repairs of our Cathedrall Church 
 of St. Paul's London.” 
 
 * The following is the Account given in the Parentalia of the taking down the vast ruins of the old Cathedral, 
 and of the foundations of the old and new Structure. 
 
 “ The pulling down the Walls, heing about eighty feet high, and five feet thick, was a great and troublesome 
 
 work; the men stood above, and work’d them down with pick axes, whilst labourers below moved the materials 
 
 that fell, and dispersed them into heaps: the want of room made this way slow, and dangerous, and some men lost 
 their lives; the heaps grew steep and large; and yet this was to be done before the Masons could begin to lay the 
 foundations. 
 
 “ The City having streets to pave anew, bought, from the rubbish, most of the stone called Kentish-rag, which 
 gave some room to dig, and to lay foundations; which yet was not easy to perform with any exactness, but by this 
 method. 
 
 “ The Surveyor placed scaffolds high enough to extend his lines over the heaps that lay in the way; and then 
 
 by perpendiculars set out the places below, from the lines drawn with care upon the level plan of the scaffold. 
 
 “ Thus he proceeded, gaining every day more room, till he came to the middle Tower that bore the Steeple; 
 the remains of the Tower being near two hundred feet high, the labourers were afraid to work above, thereupon 
 he concluded to facilitate this work by the use of gunpowder. 
 
 “ He dug a hole of about four feet wide, down by the side of the North West pillar of the Tower, the four 
 pillars of which were each about fourteen feet diameter; when he had dug to the foundation, he then, with crows 
 and tools made on purpose, wrought a hole two feet square, level into the center of the Pillar ; there he placed a 
 little Deal-Box, containing eighteen pounds of powder, and no more: a cane was fix’d to the Box with a quick- 
 match (as gunners call it) within the cane, which reach'd from the Box to the ground above, and along the ground 
 was laid a train of powder, with a match: after the Mine was carefully clos’d up again with stone and mortar to 
 the top of the ground, he then observ’d the effect of the blow. 
 
 “ This little quantity of powder not only lifted up the whole Angle of the Tower, with two great Arches that 
 rested upon it, but also two adjoining Arches of the Ailes and all above them; and this it seem’d to do some-

 and magnificence of the old Cathedral, when it proving one of them, commanded a Model to 
 was in its best estate ; his Majesty, well ap- be made thereof, in so large and exact a manner, 
 
 what leisurely, cracking the walls to the top, lifting visibly the whole weight about nine inches, which suddenly 
 
 jumpin'* down, made a great heap of ruin in the place without scattering, it was half a minute before the heap 
 
 already fallen open’d in two or three places, and emitted some smoke. By this description may be observ’d the 
 incredible force of Powder: eighteen pounds only of which lifted up above three thousand tun, and saved the 
 work of a thousand labourers. 
 
 « The fall of so <*reat a weight from an height of two hundred feet, gave a concussion to the ground, that the 
 inhabitants round about took for an earthquake. 
 
 “ Encourag’d by this success, he thought to proceed this way, but being oblig’d to go out of town in the 
 Kind's service, he left the management of another mine begun, to the care of his next Officer, who too wise in 
 his own conceit, put in a greater quantity of powder, and neither went low enough, nor sufficiently fortified the 
 mouth of the mine; and though it had the effect, yet one stone was shot out to the opposite side of the Church¬ 
 yard, through an open window, into a room of a private house, where some women were sitting at work, with¬ 
 out any harm done; this accident frighted the neighbours to that degree, that he was importun’d to use no 
 
 more powder, and was so directed also by his superiors; tho’ with due caution it might have been executed 
 
 without any hazard, and sav’d much time and money. 
 
 “ lie then turn’d his thoughts to another method; to gain time, prevent much expense, and the endangering of 
 men’s lives; and that was, to make an experiment of that ancient engine in war, the Battering-ram. 
 
 “ He took a strong mast of about forty feet long, arming the bigger end with a great spike of iron, fortified 
 with bars along the mast, and ferrels: this mast in two places was hung up to one ring with strong tackle, 
 and so suspended level to a triangle-prop, such as they weigh great guns with: thirty men, fifteen on a side, 
 vibrated this machine to and again, and beat in one place against the wall the whole day; they believed it was 
 to little purpose, not discerning any immediate effect; he bid them not despair, but proceed another day: on the 
 second day the wall was perceiv’d to tremble at the top, and in a few hours it fell. The reason to be given for 
 it may be this; 'tis not by any present violence the Ram is able to overturn a Wall of such bulk and com- 
 pacture, but incessantly vibrating by equidistant pulses, it makes a small intestine motion through all the insen¬ 
 sible parts of the Wall, and by degrees loosens all the bond of the mortar, and moves every stone from its bed, 
 and tho’ not the hundredth part of an inch at every blow, yet this motion once begun hath its effects more and 
 more, till at length it is quite loose and falls. He made good use of this machine in beating down all the lofty 
 ruins; and pleas’d himself that he had recover’d this notable engine, of so great service to the Ancients in besieging 
 of Towns.’’ 
 
 « The Graves of several ages and fashions in strata, or layers of earth, one above another, particularly at the 
 North side of St. Paul’s, manifestly shew’d a great antiquity from the British and Roman times, by the means 
 whereof the ground had been raised; but upon searching for the natural ground below these graves, the Surveyor 
 observed that the foundation of the old Church stood upon a layer of very close and hard pot-earth, and con¬ 
 cluded that the same ground which had borne so weighty a building, might reasonably be trusted again. However, 
 he had the curiosity to search further, and accordingly dug Wells in several places, and discerned this hard pot- 
 earth to be on the North side of the Churchyard about six feet thick, and more, but thinner and thinner towards 
 the South till it was upon the declining of the Hill scarce four feet: still he searched lower, and found nothing but 
 dry sand, mix’d sometimes unequally, but loose, so that it would run through the fingers. He went on till he 
 came to Water and Sand, mixed with periwincles and other sea-shells: these were about the level of low-water 
 mark, lie continued boreing till he came to hard beach, and still under that, till he came to the natural hard 
 clay, which lies under the City, and Country, and Thames also, far and wide. 
 
 “ By these Shells it was evident the Sea had been where now the Hill is on which St. Pauls stands. 
 
 “ In the progress of the works of the foundations, the Surveyor met with one unexpected difficulty; he began to 
 lay the foundations from the West end, and had proceeded successfully through the Dome to the East-end, where 
 the brick-earth bottom was yet very good ; but as he went on to the North-East corner, which was the last, and 
 when nothing was expected to interrupt, he fell, in prosecuting the design, upon a pit, where all the Pot-earth 
 had been robb’d by the Potters of old time. Here were discovered quantities of Urns, broken Vessels, and Pottery- 
 Ware of divers sorts and shapes: how far this pit extended northward, there was no occasion to examine; no 
 Ox-sculls, Horns of Stags, and Tusks of Boars were found, to corroborate the accounts of Stow, Camden, and 
 others; nor any foundations more eastward. If there was formerly any Temple to Diana, he supposed it might 
 have been within the walls of the Colony, and more to the South. It was no little perplexity to fall into this 
 Pit at last: he wanted but six or seven feet to compleat the Design, and this fell in the very Angle North- 
 East ; he knew very well, that under the layer of Pot-earth, there was no other good ground to be found till he 
 came to the low-water mark of the Thames, at least forty feet lower: his artificers proposed to him to pile, which 
 he refused; for tho’ piles may last for ever, when always in water, yet if they are driven through dry sand. 
 
£>atnt Raul’s CatheDral 
 
 131 
 
 that it might remain as a perpetual and un- changeable rule and direction for the conduct 
 
 tho’ sometimes moist, they will rot. His endeavours were to build for eternity. He therefore sunk a Pit of about 
 eighteen feet square, wharfing up the sand with timber, till he came forty feet lower into water and sea-shells, 
 where there was a firm sea-beach, which confirmed what was before asserted, that the Sea had been, in ages past, 
 where now Paul’s is; he bored through this beach till he came to the original clay; being then satisfied, he began 
 from the beach a square pier of solid good masonry, ten feet square, till he came within fifteen feet of the present 
 ground, then he turned a short arch under ground to the former foundation, which was broken off by the untoward 
 accident of the Pit. 
 
 The reasons for changing the site of the Church, and taking up all the old foundations, were chiefly these ; 
 first, the Act of Parliament for rebuilding the City had enacted, that all the high streets (of which that which leads 
 round the South-side of St. Paul's was one) should be forty feet broad, but the old foundations streightened the 
 street towards the East-end to under thirty feet. 
 
 Secondly, the Church-yard on the North side was wide, and afforded room that way to give the new fabrick 
 a more free and graceful aspect. 
 
 Thirdly, to have built on the old foundations must have confined the Surveyor too much to the old plan 
 and form ; the ruinous Avails in no part were to be trusted again, nor would old and new work firmly unite, or 
 stand together without cracks. 
 
 It biting found expedient therefore to change the foundations, he took the advantage of more room northward, 
 and laid the middle line of the new work more declining to the North-East than it was tiefore, which was not 
 due East and West; neither did the old front of the Cathedral lie directly from Ludgale, as it does not at 
 present, which was not practicable, without purchasing, and taking down a great number of houses; and the aid of 
 Parliament. This, tho’ moch wished for, he was not able to effect; the Commissioners for rebuilding the City, 
 had, in the first place, marked and staked out all the streets, and the Parliament confirmed their Report, before 
 any thing had been fully determined about the design of the new fabrick. The Proprietors of the ground with 
 much eagerness and haste, had begun to build accordingly; an incredible progress had been made in a very short 
 
 time; many large and fair houses erected; and every foot of ground in that trading and populous part of the Town 
 
 was highly estimated." (Parcntalia, Part II. Sect. v. p. 2S3-7.) 
 
 “ The Surveyor (says another passage of Parentaiia) gave but little credit to the common story that a Temple 
 had been here to Diana, (which some have believed, upon the report of the digging up, formerly, and of later 
 years. Horns of Stags, Ox-heads, Tusks of Boars, &c.) meeting with no such indications in all his searches; but 
 that the North-side of this ground had been Very anciently a great burying-place, was manifest; for upon digging 
 the foundations of the present Fabrick of St. Paul's, he found under the graves of the latter ages, in a row below 
 them, the burial places of ihe Saxon times; the Saxons, as it appeared, were accustomed to line their Graves 
 
 with chalk-stones, though some more eminent were entombed in Coffins of whole stones. Below these were British 
 
 Graves, where were found ivory and wooden pins, of a hard wood, seemingly Box, in abundance, of about six 
 inches long; it seems the bodies were only wrapped up, and pinned ill woollen shrouds, which being consumed, 
 the pins remained entire. In the same row. and deeper, were Roman Urns intermixed; this was eighteen feet deep 
 or more, and belonged to the Colony when Romans and Britains lived and died tovether. 
 
 The most remarkable Roman Urns, Lamps, Lachrymatories, and Fragments of Sacrificing Vessels, &c were 
 found deep in the ground, towards the North-East corner of St. Paul's Church, near Chcapside; these were generally 
 well wrought, and embossed with various figures and devices, of the colour of the modern red Portugal ware some 
 brighter like coral, and of a hardness equal to China Ware, and as well glaa'd. Among divers pieces which 
 happened to have been preserved, are, a fragment of a vessel, in shape of a bason, whereon Charon is represented 
 with bis Oar in his hand receiving a Ghost; a patera sacri/icalis, with an Inscription, pater, clo. ; a remarkable 
 small Urn of a fine hard Earth, and leaden colour, containing about half a pint; many pieces of Urns with ihe 
 names of the potters embossed on the bottoms, such as, for instance, aibvu. M*. VicTORiNvs. pater. Ft. mossi. 
 M. OFJ. MOM. ao. MAPtLii. M. &c. a sepulchral earthen Lamp, figured with two branches of Palms, supposed 
 Christian; and two Lacrymatories of Glass.” 
 
 Mr. Conyers, an assiduous Collector of the Antiquities found at this time in different parts of the metropolis in 
 a Manuscript still preserved among Sir Hans Sloane's Collections in the British Museum, notices several other 
 Inscriptions. He adds, the only Coins found were also Roman; one, of a metal finer than bell-metal, was of 
 Iladnan, with a galley on the reverse; the rest, much corroded by time, were principally of Constantino. (MS. 
 Sloan, 958.) N 
 
 Of the Roman Lamps which were found, several are described in ihe “ Monumenta Vetustatis Kempiana,” 8vo.

 site of the 
 
 erroneously described as affording a view of the ancient Temple supposed to have stood upon the 
 
 C C"dem.li.hing the ruin, and searching the foundations of the Quire, Sir Christopher Wren discovered nine 
 Wells in a row, which had anciently belonged to a Street of Houses that lay aslope from the High Street, then 
 
 Walling Street, to Cheapside. (Parentalia, p. 272.) , , 
 
 On the North side, under part of the place where Paul’s Cross had stood, and nearer the surface thau the 
 Roman remains already described, flint pavements were found, supposed to have formed the yards of queens houses 
 uurchascd by Lanfrank for the enlargement of the Church. (Conyers’s MS.) 
 
 P .. I„ the beginning of the new Works of St. Paul’s (we are told) an Incident was taken not.ee of by some people 
 as a memorable omen; when the Surveyor in person had set out, upon the place, the dimens,ons of the great 
 Dome and fixed upon the centre, a common labourer was ordered to bring a flat stone from the heaps of rubb.s , 
 (such’as should first come to hand,) to be laid for a mark and direction to the Masons; the Stone which was 
 immediately brought and laid down for that purpose, happened to he a piece of a Grave-stone, with nothmg remain- 
 inn of the Inscription but this single word in large Capitals, RESURGAM.” (Parentalia p. 2 9 2). 
 
 . This Model is stiff preserved in a room over the Morning Chapel, at the North-West corner ol the 
 
 Cathedral.

 greeting. 
 
 Whereas our most dear and royal grand¬ 
 father and father were pleased to begin, and set 
 forward that great and honourable work of up¬ 
 holding and repairing the Cathedral Church of 
 St. Paul in London, and granted several Com¬ 
 missions in order to the accomplishing of that 
 work, with sundry good directions therein con¬ 
 tained to that purpose: and whereas we, in 
 pursuance of their pious and royal intentions, 
 resolving to make a further and more effectual 
 progress in that work, which by the iniquity of 
 the late times had been so much and so long 
 interrupted, did by our Commission, under our 
 great seal of England, bearing date the 18th day 
 
t>amf Raul’s Caffie&ral 
 
 135 
 
 of April, in the fifteenth year of our reign', directed 
 to the several lords spiritual and temporal, and 
 others the persons of eminent rank and quality 
 therein named, authorize and empower them, 
 or so many of them as are therein appointed, 
 and enabled to act, to proceed in that great 
 undertaking, and to endeavour the perfecting 
 thereof by such ways and means, and accord¬ 
 ing to such rules and orders as are therein 
 mentioned. Since the issuing out of which 
 Commission, the late dreadful fire in London 
 hath destroyed and consumed the said Cathedral 
 to such a degree, that no part of the ancient 
 walls or structures can with any safety be relied 
 upon, or left standing; insomuch that it is now 
 become absolutely necessary totally to demolish, 
 and raze to the ground all the relicks of the 
 former building, and in the same place, but 
 upon new foundations, to erect a new Church; 
 (which that it may be done to the glory of God, 
 and for the promoting of his divine worship 
 and service therein to be celebrated; and to 
 the end the same may equal, if not exceed, the 
 splendor and magnificence of the former Cathe¬ 
 dral Church, when it was in its best estate, 
 and so become, much more than formerly, the 
 principal ornament of that our royal city, to 
 the honour of our government, and of this our 
 realm, we have caused several designs to that 
 purpose to be prepared by Dr. Christopher 
 Wren, Surveyor-General of all our works and 
 buildings, which we have seen, and one of which 
 we do more especially approve, and have com¬ 
 manded a Model thereof to be made after so 
 large and exact a manner, that it may remain 
 as a perpetual and unchangeable rule and direc¬ 
 tion for the conduct of the whole Work:) And 
 whereas our former Commission, in which the 
 upholding and repairing the ancient. Cathedral 
 Church is only designed and mentioned, doth 
 not sufficiently authorize and empower our said 
 Commissioners therein named, to begin and 
 complete a new fabrick upon new foundations. 
 
 Know ye, that we reposing especial trust

 cerity, and diligence, have nominated, appointed,

 And we do by these presents give full power 
 and authority to you, or any six, or more of you, 
 (whereof the Lord Bishop of London, or the 
 
g>atnt Raul’s CatljtDral 
 
 137 
 
 Dean of St. Paul’s for the time being, to be one,) 
 to demolish and take down what is yet remaining 
 of the old fabrick, and to begin and carry on the 
 new work, or such part or portion of it, and in 
 such order and method, and by such ways and 
 means, and according to such rules and orders, 
 as to you shall seem best; and to call to your 
 aid and assistance such skilful artists, officers, 
 and workmen, as ye shall think fit, and to appoint 
 to each of them his several charge and employ¬ 
 ment; to minister to such artists and officers, 
 and to all and every other person and persons to 
 be employed in the said service, (to whom you 
 shall think meet,) such oath or oaths for the due 
 performance of their several duties, employments, 
 offices, charges, and trusts, to them, or any of 
 them to be committed, as shall by you be thought 
 reasonable and convenient; and out of such 
 money as shall be received for this work, to 
 allow to them, and every of them, such salaries, 
 wages, and rewards respectively, as to you shall 
 seem fitting, and proportionable to their employ¬ 
 ment, and the service they shall do; and to 
 consider, advise, agree of, and set down par¬ 
 ticular orders and instructions, as well for the 
 safe and well keeping both of the money from 
 time to time brought into the treasury, and of 
 the materials and provisions, to be from time 
 to time brought into the stores, as also for the 
 faithful and frugal issuing out, and disposing of 
 the same for the publick use intended, and 
 no other; and to direct and appoint by whom, 
 and in what manner, the books and accompts 
 of both shall be from time to time kept and 
 comptrolled, audited, transcribed, and certified; 
 and to put such a check upon the receipt and 
 issuing out of both, as you shall judge necessary: 
 and out of yourselves, and such other persons 
 of known ability and integrity as you shall 
 choose from time to time, and as often as you 
 shall judge it expedient, to appoint, constitute, 
 and make such, and so many, sub-committees, 
 as you shall think meet, for the better managing 
 and carrying on of this whole work; and to 
 invest them with such powers, pursuant to the 
 authorities hereby given, as shall be requisite; 
 and to revoke, annul, and determine the same; 
 and to revive and make new the said sub-com¬ 
 mittees, or any others, when, and as often as 
 you shall find it needful and conducing to the 
 
 service; and (in sum) to advise, treat, and con¬ 
 sider of all other things, ways, and means, for 
 the better advancement and furtherance of this 
 great and excellent work, and to the finishing 
 and perfecting the same, and to put the same 
 ways and means in due and speedy execution; 
 and finally to consult of and frame meet orders, 
 ordinances, and constitutions, for the better pre¬ 
 servation and maintenance of the said Cathedral 
 Church in time to come, and for the preventing 
 and suppressing of all present and future annoy¬ 
 ances, purprestures, and encroachments, which 
 do, shall, or may any way tend to the damage or 
 hurt, blemishing or disgrace of the same; and 
 the said orders, ordinances, and constitutions, 
 being reduced into writing, to present to us; to 
 the end that the same being by us perused and 
 considered of, may receive our royal approbation 
 and allowance, with such farther order from us 
 for the strengthening the same by our royal 
 signature, or under our great seal or otherwise, 
 as we shall find meet, that so they may be put in 
 due execution accordingly. 
 
 And although we are very sensible that the 
 erecting such a new fabrick or structure, accord¬ 
 ing to the design above mentioned, will be a 
 W'ork not only of great time, but also of very 
 extraordinary cost and expense, (far above that 
 of the repairs either former or later,) yet are we 
 in no sort discouraged from undertaking the 
 same; being resolved, on our part, to contribute 
 thereunto all fitting aid and assistance; and no 
 way doubting but that the piety and charity of 
 our good subjects will eminently appear by their 
 frequent and liberal contributions to so honour¬ 
 able and pious a design, whereby, at last, all 
 kind of difficulties will be overcome. 
 
 In order whereunto, as we were formerly 
 graciously pleased (beside our royal grant of 
 all arrears of impropriations, not pardoned by 
 the act of free and general pardon and indem¬ 
 nity) farther to signify our good affection toward 
 the repair of the said Cathedral by the free gift 
 of 1000/. by the year, to be paid quarterly out 
 of our privy purse, and to be continued during 
 the reparation of the said Church: so are we 
 pleased much rather hereby to confirm and 
 continue it, for the rebuilding and new erecting 
 of the same. 
 
 And forasmuch as we are very confident that 
 
 
138 
 
 Cl)c J^tstorp of 
 
 not only our clergy, but many of our nobility, 
 gentry, and other our loving subjects, and 
 especially the citizens and inhabitants of our 
 said royal City of London, (to whom we do 
 most earnestly recommend the advancement of 
 this work,) will be ready to follow our example 
 by cheerful and bountiful supplies to the carry 
 ing on and finishing the said work: we do 
 hereby give and grant unto you the said Hum¬ 
 phrey Lord Bishop of London, and to the Bishop 
 of that see for the time being, and to you the 
 present Dean, and others, residentiaries of our 
 said Cathedral Church, and to your successor 
 the Dean, and other the residentiaries there for 
 the time being, full power and authority to ask, 
 demand, receive, and take the free and voluntary 
 contributions of all such of our nobility, bishops, 
 judges, serjeants and counsellors at law, officers, 
 and others of quality and ability, and of all 
 such our subjects as shall willingly contribute 
 to the said work: and also to provide and keep 
 books or registers (such as have been formerly 
 kept upon the like occasion,) and to ask, procure, 
 and in the said books or registers, or some of 
 them, to take the several subscriptions of any 
 such person or persons before mentioned, for 
 such several sum and sums of money, as they 
 shall out of their Christian charity freely bestow 
 in that behalf: All which money already so 
 subscribed or given, raised, collected, or received, 
 as well for the former repairs, as for the works 
 at present in hand, or so to be hereafter sub¬ 
 scribed or given, raised, collected, or received, 
 we require all persons concerned to pay accord¬ 
 ingly, for the carrying on and perfecting of the 
 present design of rebuilding the said Cathedral, 
 into the receipt of the Chamber of our said City 
 of London, (the said Chamber having been with 
 our good liking and approbation rightly chosen, 
 and appointed according to our former Com¬ 
 mission to be the receipt and treasury of all the 
 money due, and payable to that work,) or unto 
 such person or persons, as by any six or more of 
 you our said Commissioners (whereof the Lord 
 Bishop of London, or the Dean of St. Paul's for 
 the time being, to be one) shall be from time to 
 time chosen and appointed to receive the same: 
 which said receiver or receivers for the time 
 being, so constituted as aforesaid, are hereby 
 authorized to receive the same, and to give 
 
 acquittances and discharges for it to such person 
 or persons as shall pay it in as aforesaid; and 
 are hereby required not to issue out any money 
 so received, but by order and warrant under the 
 hands of six or more of our said Commissioners, 
 (whereof the Lord Bishop of London, or Dean 
 of St. Paul's for the time being, always to be 
 one). 
 
 And our farther will and pleasure is, and we do 
 hereby straitly charge and command the judges of 
 the prerogative courts of both provinces, and the 
 vicars general, commissaries, and officials, and all 
 others having and exercising ecclesiastical juris¬ 
 diction within this our kingdom and dominion of 
 Wales, that from henceforth they take especial 
 care that out of such money as shall from time 
 to time fall into their power for or by reason of 
 commutations of penance, or upon any other 
 occasion whatsoever, (being designed or proper 
 to be bestowed to pious or charitable uses,) some 
 convenient proportion be assigned or set apart 
 toward the supply of this work: and hereof the 
 Bishops also in their several dioceses are hereby 
 required to take notice and effectual care, and to 
 make certificate at the end of every six months 
 to the Bishop of London for the time being, 
 what hath within their respective jurisdictions 
 been done herein, and what hath been neglected 
 to be done, and by whose default ; and withal 
 to cause all the monies so assigned and reserved, 
 to be sent up and paid to the receiver, or trea¬ 
 surer of this work for the time being, rightly 
 constituted and appointed as aforesaid. 
 
 And for a farther supply to this great and 
 chargeable work, which will necessarily require a 
 general and liberal contribution of all our able 
 subjects of this kingdom; we do hereby give 
 unto you our said Commissioners, or to any six 
 or more of you, (whereof the Lord Bishop of 
 London, or the Dean of St. Paul's for the time 
 being to be one,) full power and authority from 
 time to time to consult, advise, and agree of 
 such form or forms of letters-patents, to be 
 drawn in a more special manner than ordinary 
 briefs are wont to be, according to the extra¬ 
 ordinary nature of this case, for public collections 
 to be made throughout our said realm of Eng¬ 
 land, and dominion of Wales, of the charity 
 of our loving and well-disposed subjects, towards 
 the present work, and for the bringing in of the

 same to the receiver or receivers for the time 
 being; reciting therein so much of the premises 
 as shall be found needful, and adding thereto 
 such other necessary clauses as you shall con¬ 
 ceive most likely to advance the collections and 
 contributions to be made thereupon. Which said 
 letters-patents, or briefs, so advised and agreed 
 upon, and testified to be so under the hands of 
 any six, or more of you, (as aforesaid,) we will 
 and command you, our Chancellor of England, 
 or Keeper of our Great Seal of England for the 
 time being, to pass under our Great Seal of Eng¬ 
 land without any farther or other warrant from 
 us to be procured or obtained in that behalf; 
 and these presents shall be to you and them, and 
 every of them, a sufficient warrant and discharge 
 for the same. 
 
 And for the farther easing and defraying of so 
 vast an expense as this work will require, and in 
 order to the better recovery and preservation of 
 whatsoever hath or shall be given, or intended, 
 purchased, or provided, to that purpose, being 
 very desirous that a true and perfect discovery 
 may be made, as well of all such legacies, be¬ 
 quests, and gifts, both of lands and sums of 
 money, or other profits, as have been at any time 
 heretofore, or hereafter shall be given, subscribed, 
 or intended for the rebuilding, maintaining, repair¬ 
 ing, or adorning of the said Church; as also of 
 all materials, instruments, or utensils, at any 
 time purchased or prepared for that work, but 
 fraudulently and sacrilegiously concealed, de¬ 
 tained, or converted to private use and advantage: 
 we do by these presents give and grant unto you, 
 or any six or more of you, (whereof the Bishop 
 of London, or the Dean of St. Paul’s for the 
 time being, to be one,) full power and authority, 
 as well by the oath of honest and lawful men, as 
 by the examination of witnesses upon their oaths, 
 (which oaths, both to jurors and witnesses, you, 
 or any six or more of you, whereof the Lord 
 Bishop of London, or the Dean of St. Paul’s for 
 the time being to be one, are hereby authorized 
 to administer,) or without oath, and by all other 
 ways and means whatsoever, from time to time 
 to inquire, and examine as well of, for, and con¬ 
 cerning all and every sum and sums of money, 
 or other gifts whatsoever, which heretofore have, 
 or hereafter shall be given and bequeathed, sub¬

 for, or toward the reparation or rebuilding of the 
 said Cathedral Church, or for the beautifying and 
 adorning thereof, or for providing of any instru¬ 
 ments, utensils, or ornaments for the same, and 
 touching the payment and employment thereof, 
 and what remains yet unpaid or unaccounted for, 
 and in whose hands; as also of and concerning 
 all and every the materials and utensils at any 
 time provided for the repairing or rebuilding 
 of the said Church, or any way belonging to the 
 same; and of the particular value thereof, and 
 how, and by whom the same, or any part thereof, 
 hath been taken away, disposed, converted, and 
 employed otherwise than to the use intended: 
 and to send for and convene, and cause to come 
 before you, all such farmers, tenants, trustees, 
 treasurers, receivers, accomptants, clerks, and 
 other officers, and ministers, parties, and wit¬ 
 nesses whatsoever, which are any way concerned, 
 or can give testimony touching the premises, and 
 which you shall think necessary to call before 
 you, and to examine them severally upon their 
 oaths; and to cause all and every person and 
 persons, whom you shall think good, from time 
 to time to bring, and show before you, either 
 upon oath, or without oath, all and singular 
 such books, records, registers, surveys, accompts, 
 evidences, and other notes and writings any way 
 relating to the premises, and remaining in their 
 hands, as you shall think fit to be produced, 
 whereby the truth of the premises may the better 
 and more plainly be found out and discovered, 
 and to let you have the use and perusal of the 
 same. And for your ease and better expedition 
 in the execution of this part of our Commission, 
 our will and pleasure is, and we do hereby charge 
 and command, that all such surveyors, actuaries,

 containing in length one hundred and seventy 
 foot, and in breadth one hundred twenty-one 
 foot, with the great arched Vaults underneath, 
 were finished : as also the new Chapter-house 
 and Vestries, the two stately Porticos, north and 
 south, opposite to each other, and the huge and 
 massy Pillars of the Dome (which is one hundred 
 and eight foot in diameter within the walls) 
 brought to the same height; the work being 
 totally wrought of large Portland stone: the 
 charge of which, with the particular gradations 
 therein, may best be seen by the computation 
 thereof, as it stands accompted, both for ma¬ 
 terials and workmanship hereunto added. 
 
 To which I have subjoined, in order of time, 
 such particular sums of money as have been, 
 
 by the free benevolence of any person whatso¬ 
 ever, or otherwise bestowed thereon; as well 
 towards its repair before the fire, as since for 
 this new fabrick*. Such monies, I mean, as 
 have been hitherto paid into the Chamber of 
 London, and thence issued for the support of 
 this vast building: as also what is hitherto come 
 in for the same purpose, by virtue of that tax 
 imposed by act of parliament upon such coals 
 as are imported into the river of Thames, for the 
 benefit of this city or otherwise. 
 
 Moreover, for the honour justly due to sundry 
 other worthy persons, whose hearts stood cha¬ 
 ritably affected to this most laudable and pious 
 work, I have also taken notice of their names 
 and generous subscriptions of what they really 
 purposed to contribute thereto.

 HUS far the List 
 of Contributions 
 toward the re¬ 
 building of St. 
 Paul’s was found 
 preserved a- 
 mong Sir Wil¬ 
 liam Dugdale’s 
 Manuscripts in 
 Warwickshire. 
 Before those of another year could be transcrib¬ 
 
 ed, death had put an end to his labours. An 
 accidental fire in the Chamberlain’s Office at 
 Guildhall, in 1786, destroyed the books which 
 contained the original accompt of the receipts; 
 and as copies were not transmitted with the 
 annual accompts of the building to the Mu¬ 
 niment Room at St. Paul’s, the names and 
 donations of the later benefactors are probably 
 irrecoverable. 
 
 The progress which had been made in the 
 structure up to 1685 has been already detailed*. 
 
 * The charges upon the Coal Duty, however, have been only incidentally noticed in Sir William Dugdale’s Particular 
 of the Contributions. 
 
 By the Act for rebuilding the City of London, 19th Cha. II. chap. 3. A. D. 1667, the sum of twelve pence per 
 chaldron on coals was granted to the City for enlarging streets, rebuilding parish churches, and accomplishing different 
 works directed by the Act; the collecting of the same to continue from June 24th, 1667, to June 24th, 1677. In the 
 22d of Charles II. an additional Act was passed; when two shillings per chaldron more were granted from the first of 
 May, 1670, and the former twelve pence was continued, to Sept. 29th, 16’87. One moiety of the three shillings thus 
 collected was to be for the use of the City : the other moiety for rebuilding parochial churches and the Cathedral of 
 St. Paul’s, in these proportions; three-fourths of the moiety, or thirteen pence halfpenny per chaldron for the churches, 
 and one fourth, or four pence halfpenny, for St. Paul’s. The Act having also a borrowing clause, by which any part or 
 parts of the sums so arising from the coal duty were allowed to be lent as a security for any sum or sums of money 
 borrosved by the Commissioners for the purposes directed in the Act. 
 
 The next Act was that of the first year of James II. chap. 15. when the sum of eighteen pence per chaldron on coals 
 was granted from Sept. 29th, 1687, to Sept. 29th, 1700, whereof a part (not exceeding a fifth) was appropriated to the 
 parochial churches, and all the rest to St. Paul’s: a borrowing clause for mortgaging the receipts being also inserted. 
 
 The Act passed in the eighth and ninth year of William the Third, chap. 14. was for twelve pence per chaldron for 
 sixteen years, from Sept. 29th, 1700 : whereof a sixth was for the repair of Westminster Abbey, three thousand pounds 
 for St. Thomas’s Church in Southwark, and the remainder for St. Paul’s and the parochial churches, according to the 
 proportions of the Act of James the Second. This Act having likewise a borrowing clause. 
 
 In the first of Anne, another Act passed for two shillings per chaldron, for eight years, from the 15th May, 1708, with 
 power to borrow on it. The whole of the produce being appropriated to the finishing St. Paul’s according to estimates 
 delivered to the Parliament for that purpose.

 In that year, on the decease of King Charles the Second a new Commission was issued*.

 individuals toward the rebuilding of the Church, under the Act of the first year of James the Second.

 and appointed to receive the same, and to give acquittances and discharges for it to such person or persons as shall

 And for the further raising and defraying of so vast an expense as this work shall require, and in order to the better

 or converted to private use and advantage: We do, by these Presents, give and grant unto you, or any six or more 
 of you, (whereof the Lord Bishop of London, or the Dean of St. Paul’s for the time being, to be one,) full power and 
 authority, as well by the oath of honest and lawful men, as by the examination of witnesses upon their oaths, (which 
 said oaths, both to jurors and witnesses, you, or any six or more of you, as aforesaid, are hereby authorized to 
 administer,) or without oath, and by all other ways and means whatsoever, from time to time to inquire and examine 
 as well of and concerning all and every sum and sums of money, or other gifts whatsoever, which heretofore have or 
 hereafter shall be given, bequeathed, subscribed, advanced, raised, collected, or received, for or towards the reparation or 
 rebuilding of the said Cathedral Church, or for beautifying or adorning thereof, or for providing of any instruments,

 time provided for the repairing or rebuilding of the said Church, or any belonging to the same, or of the particular 
 value thereof, and how, and by whom, the same, or any part thereof, hath been taken away, disposed, conveyed, and 
 employ’d otherwise than to the use intended; and to send for and convene, and cause to come before you, all such 
 farmers, tenants, trustees, treasurers, receivers, accountants, clerks, and other officers and ministers, parties and

 books and records, registers, surveys, accounts, evidences, and other notes and writings, any way relating to the 
 premises, and remaining in their hands, as you shall think fit to be produced, whereby the truth of the premises may 
 
 the better and more plainly be found out and discovered, and to let you have use and perusal of the same. 
 
 And for your ease and better expedition in the execution of this part of Our Commission, our will and pleasure is, 
 and We do hereby charge and command, that all such surveyors, actuaries, registers, officers, and ministers whatsoever, 
 which you, or any six or more of you, as aforesaid, shall think fit and require, shall be ready and attendant upon vou, 
 or any six or more of you, for the doing and performing any thing necessary and expedient to be done in the execution 
 of this Our Commission. 
 
 And forasmuch as the letters patents granted in the life-time of Our said most dear and royal brother, to Our said 
 Commissioners, for procuring of contributions and subscriptions within Our kingdom of England and dominion of 
 
 ales, have not brought in such sums as was reasonably expected, for want of pursuing the methods and directions in 
 
 the said letters patents mentioned; and as we are credibly inform’d, there hath been no returns made from a considerable 
 number of parishes, of moneys therein collected by virtue of the said letters patents, for rebuilding of the said Cathedral: 
 and to the intent so great neglects for the time to come may be amended, and that all moneys already given may be truly 
 paid in. We are graciously pleas’d, and do hereby strictly charge and command, all our Clergy, and all other persons 
 exercising ecclesiastical jurisdiction within our said kingdom of England and dominion of Wales, that they take 
 especial care to certifie under their hands what sum and sums of money have been collected and paid, and to whom: and 
 We do hereby require and command all sheriffs, justices of the peace, constables, bayliffs, and all other Our officers.

 direction, to The Form appointed for the day, and used in the Communion Service. “ Most gracious Father, who hast 
 remember'd thy ancient loving kindness, and restored to us the publick solemnitys of worship in this thy house; we 
 offer our devout praises and thanksgivings to theo for this thy mercy, humbly beseeching thee to perfect and establish 
 this good work. Thou, O Lord! dsvellest not in houses made with hands; heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot

 t The Continuator of Stow informs us, that on Feb. 27 th . l6£>* a fire broke out at the west end of the north a.le 
 of the choir, in a room prepared for the organ-builder to work in when the choir was newly finished. But the commu¬ 
 nication between the work-room and the organ-gallery being broken down, and proper means used, the fire was got 
 under; doing no other damage but to two pillars and an arch with enrichments. See Strype’s Stow, Vol. I. p. 15o. 
 Bateman’s Manuscript dates this accident in 168*: and says the repair of it cost ,£710..12..8|. 
 
 || Parentalia, p. 293. “ In the presence," it is added, “ of that excellent artificer, Mr. Strong, his son, and other 
 “ free and accepted Masons, chiefly employed in the execution of the work.” 
 
 It will not be irrelevant to notice here, that Mr. Clutterbuck, in his History of Hertfordshire, vol. i. pp. 167, 168, has 
 made some highly interesting extracts from a manuscript Memoir of the family of Strong. 
 
 Timothy Strong, the grandfather, was born in Wiltshire, but settled at Little Barrington in Gloucestershire, where, 
 and at Teynton in Oxfordshire, he had the property of the stone quarries. About l630, he built the South front of the 
 house at Cornbury in Oxfordshire, with the vaulted cellars, great hall, and rooms adjoining. The time of his death is 
 not noticed; but Valentine, his son, appears to have inherited both the property and the trade of his father, confining 
 the principal exertions, however, of his art to the family mansions of Gloucestershire. 
 
 Valentine Strong appears to have died in the month of November, 1662; transmitting both his property and business 
 unimpaired to Thomas Strong, his eldest son: five other sons being also bred to the mason’s trade.

 only could be said to have been carried into Avorks, being required to embellish and finish 
 effect. Many decorations, as well as necessary this magnificent Church*. 
 
 Thomas continued to work and employ the stone of these quarries, principally in Gloucestershire and the surrounding 
 counties, till after the tire of 1666'; when, in 1667, artificers being invited by Act of Parliament to rebuild the City of 
 London, he not only provided stone at the quarries which he had the command of, and sent the same to London, to be 
 sold in great quantities to other masons, but “ he also took up masons with him to London to work with him, to serve the 
 City in what they wanted in his way of trade, and continued there in that employment many years, till most of the 
 houses and halls were built.” About 1672 he began building the Church of S'. Stephen Walbrook, under Sir 
 Christopher Wren, in which building Mr. Christopher Kempster was his assistant. “ In the year 1675, he made 
 the first contract with the Lords and others, the Commissioners for rebuilding the Cathedral Church of S'. Paul's, 
 and, on the twenty-first of June that year, laid the first stone in the foundation with his own hands." He also 
 began the Churches of S'. Bennet Paul’s Wharf, and S‘. Austin's by S‘. Paul’s, likewise under Sir Christopher Wren: 
 but dying about Midsummer, l(>81, unmarried, he left all his employment to his brother Edward, whom he made his 
 sole executor. 
 
 “ Edward, Strong continued to carry on the several works before mentioned, as well what was by contract as otherways, 
 which was, the east end of the Cathedral of S‘. Paul’s (from the middle of the most eastwardly window on the north 
 side) till the same was finished as it now is. Also, the north portico of the said Cathedral, together with the north-west 
 leg or quarter of the great dome; and so continued westward to the middle of the window of the Morning-Prayer Chapel, 
 to the middle line of the body of the said Church." This was the Mr. Strong noticed in the Parentalia. Ilis son, 
 Edward Strong, jun r . “laid all the marble paving under the said dome, and in the cross aisles to the north and south 
 porticoes. lie also repaired all the blemishes and fractures in the several legs and arches of the dome, occasioned by the 
 great weight of the said dome pressing upon the foundation; the earth under the same being of an unequal temper, the 
 loamy pari thereof gave more way to the great weights than that which was gravel; so that the south-west quarter of the 
 dome, and the six smaller legs of the other quarters of the dome, having less superficies, sunk into the thinner part of the 
 loamy ground an inch in some places, in others two inches, and in other places something more; and the other quarters 
 of the dome, being on the thicker part of the loamy ground and gravel, it did not give so much way to the great weights 
 as the other did, which occasioned the fractures and blemishes in the several arches and legs of the dome.” 
 
 Edward Strong, senior, finished what was left undone of S'. Austin’s Church, and S l . Bonnet's Paul’s Wharf; and 
 continued carrying on the building of S 1 . Stephen’s Walbrook, with Mr. Christopher Kempster. He laid the foundation 
 of S'. Mildred Bread Street; and in 1()S3 began the rebuilding of S'. Clement Eastcheap. About 1683, or 1684, he 
 laid the foundation of the Kings House at Winchester. In 1684, he built the Parish Church of S'. Mary Magdalen 
 Old Fish Street. In l6S7, he built the Church of S'. Michael Royal upon College Hill. In 1G94, he supplied the 
 stone work ot Morden College upon Blackheath. In l6‘95, he rebuilt the tower and supplied the rest of the walls 
 at S'. Vedast Foster Lane. In 1696, he began the stone work of the building of the Royal Hospital at Greenwich : and 
 in 1705, in conjunction with his son, began Blenheim House in Woodstock Park in Oxfordshire. 
 
 In an estimate, appended to the Memoir, of the different sums of money received by Thomas and Edward Strong, 
 subsequent to the fire of London, we find, for “ S'. Paul’s Cathedral, per T. S. ^8513..14..8." « For free-stone sold 
 there, per T. S. .£703.. 15..1." “Cathedral Church of St. Paul, per E. S. £46l S..7..0.” “For stone sold there, 
 per E. S. o£212l6..5..5.” 
 
 * Such, indeed, was the language of the Act of the ninth of Anne, chap. 22. sect. 9. By the Act, 8 and 9 Will. III. 
 the stipend to the Surveyor General of the building of S'. Paul’s was ordered to be paid in the proportions following; 
 one moiety yearly, “ and the other moiety in one entire sum, within six months after finishing the Church .” The words of the 
 Act in the ninth of Anne arc, “ It is hereby declared, that the suid Cathedral Church, so far as by the said Act was required 
 to be done and performed by the said Surveyor General is finished ; be it enacted by the authority aforesaid, that the said 
 suspended salary shall be paid to the said Surveyor, on or before the five and twentieth day of December, 1711; and that 
 all other standing salaries to any officers employed only for the carrying on or finishing the said building, shall from the 
 said five and twentieth day of December cease and determine.” 
 
 The author of the Parentalia assures us “ it was at that time a common notion and misreport, that the Surveyor 
 received a large annual salary for that Building, and, consequently, [that] it was his interest to prolong the finishing of 
 the fabrick, for the continuance of this supposed emolument; which, it would seem, occasioned the clause” in the Act 
 of William. “The Surveyors salary,” he adds, “for building S'. Paul’s, from the foundation to the finishing thereof, 
 (as appears from the public accounts,) was not more than o £’200 per annum. This, in truth, was his own choice, but 
 what the rest of the Commissioners, on the commencement of the works, judged unreasonably small, considering the 
 extensive charge, the pains and skill in the contrivance, in preparing draughts, models, and instructions for the artificers 
 in their several stations and allotments, in almost daily overseeing and directing in person, in making estimates and contracts, 
 in examining and adjusting all bills and accounts, &c. Nevertheless he was content with this small allowance, nor 
 coveted any additional profit; always preferring the publick service to any private ends.” See also “ Frauds and 
 Abuses at S'. Paul's.” Svo. Lond. 1712. p. 28.

 Cathedral) by a clause in an Act of Parliament; which is thus. 
 
 .. Thc (lesig n 0 f the Pari,ament in granting the coal-duty for the said Cathedral at that time, being to have the building 
 con,pleated with all possible speed; they did, to encourage and obi, ge the surveyor’s diligence in carrying on the work, 
 suspend half of his allowance, till all should be done. Whereby 1 humbly conceive it may justly from thence be 
 imply’d that they thought the building, and every thing belonging to it, was wholly under my management and direction, 
 and that it was in my power to hasten or protract it. IIow far it has been so your lordships know; as also how far I 
 have been 1,raided anti restrained. However, it has pleased God so to bless my sincere endeavours, as that I have brought 
 thc building to a conclusion, so far as in my power; and I think nothing can be said now to remam nnperfected, but the 
 iron fence round the Church, and painting the cupola; the directing of which is taken out of my hands; and therefore 
 I hope that I am neither answerable for them, nor that the said suspending clause can, or ought to, affect me any further 
 on that account. As for painting the cupola, your lordships know it has been long under consideration ; that I have no 
 power left me concerninv it ; and that it is not resolved in what manner to do it, or whether at all. And as for the iron 
 fence, it is so remarkable and fresh in memory, by whose influence and importunity it was wrested from me, and the doing 
 it car'ryM in a way that I may venture to say will ever be condemn'd. 1 have just tins to observe further, that your 
 ordships had no hand in it; and consequently ought not to share in thc blame that may attend ,t.

 against me;

 Which representation being referred by their lordships to Mr. Attorney General, he gave his opinion upon it as follows, viz. 
 
 “ On the facts stated in the Petition, I think Sir Christopher Wren’s case is very hard ; the stopping half of lus salary 
 beinv intended to encourage him to use his utmost diligence to finish the Cathedral; which, for all appears, he hath done, 
 and the not finishing it is not his, but others’ faults. However, if the Church be not finished, and what remains unfinished 
 will want surveying and direction, as it seems to do from Sir Christopher’s offer of his service ill the conclusion of his 
 Petition, and the Act being positive that the payment of one half of his stipend is to be deferr’d till six months after the 
 finishing the Cathedral Church ; I do not see that the Commissioners can order payment thereof till the Cathedral Church 
 be finish'd ; but in justice are to determine the manner of doing it, that the charge of a surveyor may be saved, and 
 Sir Christopher may have his full salary.

 must acknowledge their readiness to comply with him, if it had) and the architectural part of the buildin" bein" over, he 
 had recourse to the House of Commons, and presented a Petition in the following terms; viz. 
 
 “ To the Honourable the Commons of Great Britain in Parliament assembled ; 
 
 The humble Petition of Sir Christopher Wren, 
 
 Shewetii, 
 
 ‘ That in the Act of Parliament of 8 and 9 of the late King William, for compleating the building and 
 adorning the Cathedral Church of S'. Paul, London, there being a clause for suspending a moiety of the surveyor’s salary 
 till the said Church should be finish’d, thereby the better to encourage him to finish the same with the utmost diligence 
 and expedition, your Petitioner humbly conceives, that the Parliament by putting the surveyor under such obligation, 
 did apprehend that the building, and every thing belonging to it, was wholly under his management and direction, and 
 that it was in his power to hasten or protract it. 
 
 ‘ That your Petitioner having been Surveyor of the said Cathedral Church from the beginning of its rebuilding, and 
 the same (as may be seen) being now complcated, excepting the iron fence, some ornaments undetermined, and some other 
 matters which some of the Commissioners for the fabrick have so interposed in, as that his measures for complcatinw the 
 same are wholly over-rul’d and frustrated ; and thereby he is under this hardship, as neither to be paid the salary that is 
 due to him, nor suffer’d to perfect the work that is made the condition of it. 
 
 ‘ Your Petitioner, therefore, most humbly prays your honours to grant him such relief in the premisses as to your great 
 wisdom and justice shall seem meet. 
 
 ‘ And your Petitioner will ever pray, Sec. 
 
 Ciiit. Wren.’ 
 
 “ Whereupon that honourable and august assembly so consider’d his case, and were so well satisfied with the justice 
 and reasonableness of it, as to declare the Church to be finished, so far as was required to be done and perform’d by him 
 as Surveyor-General: and it was accordingly enacted, That the suspended salary should be paid him on or before the 
 25 th . of December, 1711- Which he has the truest sense of, and has not, he hopes, been wanting in all due acknowledge¬ 
 ments and returns for it. Neither is it possible that he, or his posterity, should ever forget so signal and distinguishing 
 a favour; while they can remember the unjust and vile treatment he -had from some in the late Commission for S'. Paul’s; 
 which was such as gave him reason enough to think that they intended him none of the suspended salary, if it had been 
 left in their power to defeat him of it.” 
 
 It is impossible not to add, that in the year 171S, after Sir Christopher Wren had spent more than fifty years in a 
 continued active and laborious service to the crown and publick, his patent for the office of Surveyor of the Royal Works 
 was superseded, in the fourscore and sixth year of his age. He died Feb. 25 th ., 1?23, at the age of ninety-one.

 And we do farther hereby give and grant

 the remaining sum of 736752/. 2s. 5hd. will 
 appear to be the whole expense that the present 
 Cathedral cost in building. 
 
 The general form of S'. Paul s Cathedral 
 is that of the long or Latin Cross. 1 he walls 
 are wrought in rustic, and strengthened as well 
 as adorned by two rows of coupled pilasters, 
 one over the other; the lower Corinthian, and 
 the upper Composite. The spaces between the 
 arches of the windows, and the architraves of 
 the orders, being filled with ornamental en¬ 
 richments. 
 
 The west front has a magnificent Portico and 
 Pediment, with campanile towers or steeples 
 at the sides. The Portico consists of twelve 
 Corinthian columns below, and eight of the 
 Composite order above: all coupled and fluted f. 
 The Pediment, which is above the upper series, 
 has a bas-reliet of the Conversion of S . Paul 
 On the apex of the Pediment is a figure of the 
 Saint himself, and at its extremities, on the 
 right and left of S'. Paul, are figures of S'. 
 Peter and S'. James. A flight of steps ot 
 black marble, extending the whole length of 
 
 the Portico, forms its basement. The cam¬ 
 panile Towers or Steeples at the sides, are each 
 adorned in the upper part with a circular range 
 of Corinthian columns ; finishing in small 
 domes. Lower down, in the front of these 
 Towers, the four Evangelists are represented 
 with their emblems ||. 
 
 On the north side is a semi-circular Portico, 
 consisting of six columns of the Corinthian 
 order, forty-eight inches in diameter, resting on 
 a flight of twelve steps, which are also circular, 
 of black marble, and finishing in a dome. Above 
 is a pediment resting on pilasters in the wall, in 
 the face of which are the royal arms supported 
 by angels with palm branches, and under their 
 feet the lion and unicorn : the statues of five 
 of the Apostles being placed on the top at 
 proper distances. 
 
 The south Portico answers to the north §, 
 except that, on account of the lowness ot the 
 ground on that side of the Church, it is ascended 
 to by a flight of twenty-five steps. In the 
 pediment above is represented a Phoenix rising 
 from the flames, with the motto resurgam; 
 alluding to an incident already mentioned in a 
 former page^L and emblematical of the renewal 
 of the Church**. On the top of the pediment 
 are five other figures of Apostles. 
 
 At the east end of the Church is a sweep, or 
 circular projection for the altar, under the 
 lower principal window of which, beneath a 
 crown, and surrounded by the garter, is the 
 cypher of King William and Queen Mary. 
 
 The Dome, which rises in the centre of the 
 whole, is extremely grand. Twenty feet above 
 the roof of the Church is a circular range of

 thirty-two columns, with niches placed exactly 
 against others within. These are terminated 
 by their entablature, which supports a hand¬ 
 some gallery, adorned with a balustrade. Above 
 these columns is a range of pilasters, with win¬ 
 dows between. From the entablature of these 
 the diameter decreases very considerably ; and, 
 two feet higher, it is again contracted. From 
 this part the external sweep of the dome begins, 
 and the arches meet at fifty-two feet above. 
 On the summit of the dome, which is covered 
 with copper*, is an elegant balcony; and from 
 its centre rises the lantern, adorned with Co¬ 
 
 rinthian columns. The whole is terminated 
 by a ball, from which rises a cross, both ele¬ 
 gantly gilt. 
 
 The whole fabric is surrounded by a low wall 
 of stone, on which is a balustrade of cast iron, 
 the work of M. Tijoue. The cost of this balu¬ 
 strade, including seven sets of iron gates, is said 
 to have amounted to 11,202/. Os. 6d.

 is a statue of Queen Anne, with the figures of

 “Sir Humphry Mackworth reported from the Committee appointed to receive Proposals in relation to the covering 
 the Cupolo of S'. Paul’s Church, London; that they had received Proposals accordingly, and had thereupon come to 
 a Resolution, which they had directed him to report to the House: and which he read in his place, and afterwards 
 delivered the said Proposals, and Resolution, in at the clerk’s table ; where the same were read, and areas folioweth; viz. 
 
 “That the Committee had, pursuant to the order of the House, received two Proposalsthe one, for coverin'* the 
 said Cupolo with Lead, the other with Copper; which the Committee had directed to be reported to the House, and are 
 hereunto annex’d. 
 
 ‘ The Estimate of Joseph Roberts, plumber, for covering the Cupolo of S'. Paul’s Cathedral, London, with lead, 
 accordion to his contract with the Commissioners for rebuilding the said Church, bearing date the 29th of August 1707. 
 
 ‘ The area of the said Cupolo (the moldings being girt) is about 30,000 feet: to cover which, and to make due 
 allowances for lappings and moldings, will require about 170 tons of lead to be cast, at 12/. to the foot; and the 
 charge of lead, sodder, tacks, and workmanship, will come to about £ 2 , 500, and may be performed before Christmas 
 170S, if not obstructed. The said plumber also is ready (if required) to give sufficient security, that the whole 
 charge shall not exceed that sum : and as he has, in pursuance of his said contract, bought the whole quantity of 
 Derbyshire lead, pick’d, and of the best sort, and has laid part, and cast and raised more, he humbly hopes that 
 nothing will be done to vacate his said contract, in the performance whereof he has made so great a prom-ess.

 * In obedience to an order of a Committee of this honourable House, made on Tuesday last, we, Samuel Davis, 
 and Co. have taken the dimensions of the Cupolo of S'. Paul’s, and find, by the best computation we could make 
 that it contains 16,087 square feet; which we humbly propose to cover, at two shillings and fourpence per foot, 
 with the best and finest British copper, of twenty ounces to a foot square, all charge of metal, workmanship, 
 nails, &c. except scaffolds; the metal to be measured, and weighed, before ’tis laid on. 
 
 * And we are humbly of opinion, that the laps, seams, and cuttings, called shruff, may amount to about 3,900 
 square feet; in which case there may be used nineteen thousand and nine hundred and eighty-seven square feet, 
 which, at two shillings and fourpence per foot, is two thousand three hundred thirty and one pound, sixteen shil¬ 
 lings, and fourpence; the proposers to take back the cuttings, or shruff, at fourteen pence per pound; and the 
 weight in copper will be eleven tons, three hundred three quarters, and seven pounds. The payments to be made 
 when there shall be one fourth part of the work done, and so proportionably, accordin'* to the custom of the 
 building; and no ornaments to come within this proposal, but only the covering; and the whole work to be done 
 for three thousand and fifty pounds; and the nails to be copper of the same fineness.

 “ Resolved, That it is the opinion of this Committee that the Cupolo of S'. Paul’s, London, be covered with 
 
 British copper.

Che ^tsfovp of 
 
 the Church we find three doors, ornamented at 
 the top with bas-reliefs: that over the middle 
 door representing St. Paul preaching to the 
 Bereans*. 
 
 The interior of the nave is formed by an 
 arcade resting on massive pillars, and dividing 
 the Church into a body and two ailes. These 
 pillars are adorned with columns and pilasters 
 of the Corinthian and Composite orders, the 
 arches of the roof being enriched with shields, 
 festoons, chaplets, and other ornaments. 
 
 On the right and left, at the entrance, are

 The wits of the time indulged in numerous lampoons on the Queen's statue. The following were Sir Samuel 
 Garth’s lines: 
 
 “ On her Majesty's Statue in St. Paul's Churchyard. 
 
 “ Near the vast bulk of that stupendous frame, 
 
 Known by the Gentiles’ great Apostle’s name, 
 
 With grace divine great Anna ’s seen to rise, 
 
 An awful form! that glads a nation's eyes: 
 
 Beneath her feet four mighty realms appear. 
 
 And with due rev’rencc pay their homage there: 
 
 Britain and Ireland seem to own her grace. 
 
 And ev’n wild India wears a smiling face. 
 
 But France alone with downcast eyes is seen 
 The sad attendant of so good a queen. 
 
 Ungrateful Country! to forget so soon 
 All that great Anna for thy sake has done: 
 
 When sworn the kind defender of thy cause, 
 
 Spite of her dear religion, spite of laws, 
 
 For thee she sheath’d the terrors of her sword. 
 
 For thee she broke her gen’ral—and her word; 
 
 For thee her mind in doubtful terms she told. 
 
 And learn’d to speak like oracles of old : 
 
 For thee, for thee, alone, what could she more?

 The oldest, at the lower end of the Church, are those taken from the French at Louisburgh in 1758. Higher up

 the Cupola, were taken in the different naval battles by Earl Ilowe, Lord Duncan, Lord Keith, and Viscount 
 Ndlson. 
 
 f “ Bernard Smith entered into a contract with the Commissioners, Dec r . 19, 1(>94, to erect the great organ, and a chair 
 organ, for £.2,000. This noble instrument was entirely taken to pieces in 1S02, repaired, and the tones in some instances 
 divested of their sharpness, by a most industrious Swede and his partner; and it is universally allowed to have 
 been improved into exquisite softness and harmony. The original gilding on the pipes is as fresh as ever. I am 
 informed by the above gentleman, that Smith has done scrupulous justice to every part, and that this organ could 
 not now be built for .£4,000." See Malcolm, Londin. Rediviv. vol. iii. p. 105. 
 
 Sir John Hawkins says, “ The organ of St. Paul's, erected soon alter the year 1700, had established the 
 
 character of Smith as an artist; whether Harris had been his competitor for building an instrument for that 
 
 Church, as he had been before at the Temple, docs not now appear; but in the Spectator, No. 552 for 
 
 December 3, 1712, is a recommendation of a proposal of Mr. Renatus Harris, organ-builder, in these words: 
 ‘ The ambition of this artificer is to erect an organ in St. Paul’s Cathedral, over the west door, at the 
 entrance into the body of the Church, which in art and magnificence shall transcend any work of that kind 
 ever before invented. The proposal in perspicuous language sets forth the honour and advantage such a 
 performance wou'd be to the British name, as well that it would apply the power of sounds in a manner 
 more amazingly forcible than perhaps has yet been known, and I am sure to an end much more worthy. Had 
 
 the vast sums which have been laid out upon Operas without skill or conduct, and to no other purpose 
 
 but to suspend or vitiate our understandings, been disposed this way, we should now, perhaps, have an engine so 
 formed, as to strike the minds of half a people at once in a place of worship with a forgetfulness of present care 
 and calamity, and a hope of endless rapture, joy, and hallelujah hereafter.” History of Music, vol. iv. p. 356.

 curiosity. A large paper copy of the Complutensian Polyglot, a Collection of English Bibles, and a New Testament in 
 Greek, accompanied by the Manuscript Notes and Collections of Dr. Mangey, in three volumes folio, are reckoned among

 Such is the description of the Church as it 
 was finished by Sir Christopher Wren; and 
 it is probable that a more perfect design, upon 
 so large a scale, never came from the hand 
 of a single architect. Criticism, however, has 
 been busy with its real or supposed defects, and 
 justice to the memory of the Surveyor requires 
 that his “ Answers to Objections" should be 
 here introduced from the ParentaliaJ. 
 
 “ In order to satisfy such persons who are 
 charmed with the grandeur of the Vatican 
 Church of St. Peter at Rome; with the stately 
 Colonnades, and spacious Area in the front; 
 and think no structure of this sort is to be 
 
 esteemed truly noble and majestic, that does 
 not arise, or nearly approach to that magnifi¬ 
 cence; it is to be considered, that at St. Pauls 
 the Surveyor wanted room, and had but small 
 hopes of procuring more than he found, for 
 the reasons above mentioned; and when all the 
 adjacent ground and new-built streets were in 
 private possessions under various titles, which, 
 on account of their good situation for trade in 
 the greatest and richest City in all Europe, 
 were valued at a very great rate; so that proper 
 and necessary ground, as well lor the grandeur 
 as graceful approach to all parts ol the labrick, 
 could only be had by a special Act ol Par¬ 
 liament, to oblige the numerous proprietors to 
 part with their estates upon equitable terms; 
 
 * Bateman informs us, in the manuscript account of rebuilding the Church, up to the year 1700, already 
 quoted from the Lambeth Library, that the expense of the great bell, commonly called Great Tom of Westminster, 
 bought of the churchwardens of St. Margarets, in purchase, recasting, fitting, bringing, &c. amounted to O £'509- 19$. 0 d. 
 A note says, “ The proper name of that bell was Edward, as may appear by the inscription in Saxon" (more pro- 
 perly Lombardic) “ characters, viz. 
 
 Tertius aptavit me Rex, Edwardque vocavit, 
 
 Edwardi decorfc Sancti signentur ut hors: 
 
 t The inscription on the new bell was the same, with this addition in Roman characters; viz. 
 
 ‘ Made by. Philip Whiteman, 
 
 < Bought from the ruines of Westminster Palace, and new 
 
 cast with addition of metal, A°. 12°. Will. 3.’ 
 
 “ The old bell was placed in the Clock-Tower, at the entrance into the New Palace Yard, from Channel Row, 
 Westminster; which Tower being ruinous, King William the Third gave the bell to the poor of St. Margaret's 
 Westminster, anno 1699, and the Commissioners for rebuilding St. Paul’s bought it of the Churchwardens, and 
 carried it the same year to St. Paul's, where being hanged in the north-west tower, 'twas unfortunately crackt, and 
 for that reason 'twas new cast Anno 1700. Diameter 6£ feet. Bought at lOd. per lb.” 
 
 + Sir Christopher Wren, in his Answer to the tract entitled “ Frauds and Abuses at St. Paul’s,” gives us the 
 history of the present Bell. He says, “ When the great bell brought from Westminster was broken by their” (some 
 of the Chapter) “ exposing it to be made a show of, and to be struck upon by those who gave money for seeing 
 it one Mr. Wightman was, by their influence and solicitation, appointed to new-cast that bell; which bell (so new- 
 cast) bein<* faulty in metal and make, and defective in weight, and no caution being taken for the performance, 
 (unless the bell-founder's bare word must be allow’d to be so,) he was paid ; and then died without making any 
 satisfaction for the badness of the bell. Upon this Sir Christopher employ’d Mr. Phelps (an honest and able bell- 
 founder, as appear'd by several specimens and testimonials) to make a bell, proper for the clock, all of new metal; 
 and the agreement was so ordered, that this new bell should be deliver'd and approvd before lie was paid any 
 thing for it°; and that he should accept the bell cast by Wightman, in part of payment towards the new one, so 
 far, and at so much as the weight produced at the price of old bell-metal: and Wightman s bell was likewise to 
 remain at the Church, till the new bell was approved. And there were all other due and necessary cautions 
 used in the agreement with Mr. Phelps, as may be seen by it, at the office of the Works at St. Paul’s. This new 
 bell then, after tryal, being found good and approved of, Wightman’s faulty bell was deliver’d to Mr. Phelps, and 
 he receiv’d the balance of his account. But because some prejudic’d persons made impertinent cavils, and because 
 he was satisfied that his bell was of the best metal, and perform'd in the best manner, and that it would in all 
 respects stand the strictest test; he voluntarily gave bond to the Dean and Chapter to cast it over again at his 
 own expense, if it should be demanded of him, within a year: but that time lapsing without any thing being 
 required, that may be justly said to imply either their good liking and approbation of the bell, or their gross neglect 
 in not having it new-cast, when it was so freely and fully put into their power to have it done for nothing.” 
 pp. 6'8, 69. The present Bell lias no other inscription on it than “ Richard Phelps made me, 1716.’

 and for applying a part of the Fund on 
 Coals, or otherwise, to that particular purpose; 
 which, alas ! was never obtained. And for this 
 reason, no more space was left, especially before 
 the west front, and to the north west, though great 
 sums of money were expended, even with the 
 assistance of Parliament, to purchase houses, 
 and to gain what present room there is *. 
 
 “ Some have enquired why the Surveyor 
 chose to make two Orders, rather than one 
 single Order with an attack story, as at St. 
 Peter’s in Rome. It is most certain his inten¬ 
 tion and desires from the beginning were to 
 have followed that example, had all things suc¬ 
 ceeded to his wish. This appears by all his 
 first designs, and in particular by the great 
 model before mentioned. 
 
 “ Bramante knew the quarries of Tivoli f 
 would yield blocks large enough for his columns 
 at St. Peter's, of nine feet diameter, but then 
 he was at a loss to find stones for his cornices; 
 and this was the reason that obliged him to 
 diminish the proportions of the proper members 
 of his cornice. At St. Paul’s the Surveyor 
 was cautious not to exceed columns of four feet, 
 which had been tried by Inigo Jones in his 
 portico: the quarries of the Isle of Portland 
 would just afford for that proportion, but not 
 readily, for the artificers were forced sometimes 
 to stay some months for one necessary stone 
 to be raised for their purpose; and the farther 
 the quarry-men pierced into the rock, the quarry 
 produced less stones than near the sea. All 
 the most eminent masons of England were of 
 opinion, that stones of the largest scantlings 
 were there to be found, or no where. An 
 inquiry was made after all the good stone that 
 England afforded. Next to Portland, Rock- 
 Abbey stone, and some others in Yorkshire, 
 seemed the best and most durable; but large 
 stone for the Paul's works was not easily to be 
 had even there. 
 
 “ For these reasons the Surveyor concluded 
 upon Portland-stone, and also to use two orders, 
 and by that means to keep the just proportions 
 of his cornices; otherwise he must have fallen 
 short of the height of the fabrick, which now 
 exerts itself over all the country, as well as city, 
 as it did of old, when that structure, though rude, 
 was lofty and majestick. 
 
 “ At the Vatican Church, Bramante was 
 ambitious to exceed the ancient Greek and 
 Roman temples, which generally were built from 
 the noble quarries of marble of the isles of the 
 Archipelago, and Egypt, where stones were to 
 be had of the largest size architects could have 
 occasion to use; and although, by necessity, he 
 failed in the due proportions of the proper 
 members of his cornice, because the Tivoli 
 stone would not hold out for the purpose; yet 
 (as far as we can find) he succeeded in the 
 diameterj of his columns, for the greatest of 
 the antique pillars that remain (supposed to 
 have been of the frontispiece of Nero’s Golden 
 House, thence brought by Vespasian to the 
 Temple of Peace, and now before the Temple 
 of Santa Maria Major) is less in diameter 
 than those at St. Peter's ||. The glory however 
 of the Roman pillar must be acknowledged 
 in this wonderful particular, that consists but 
 of one solid stone§ of Parian marble, of the 
 Corinthian order. 
 
 “ A query has been made, why all the pilas¬ 
 ters of the outside were doubled ? They are of 
 the same use as buttresses, and to give space 
 for large windows between, which in our darker 
 weather is necessary: as also for the good regu¬ 
 larity of the arcades within, and the roof, they 
 will appear proper to those who consider well 
 the whole design together. 
 
 “ Again, why were the columns of the west 
 portico doubled? This, no doubt, is not accord¬ 
 ing to the usual mode of the ancients in their 
 ordinary temples, which, for the generality, were 
 
 * “ The magnificent portico before the Church of St. Peter is not to be equalled, but yet the whole front of 
 that structure terminating in a strait line at the top, cannot be said to afford so agreeable an aspect, nor that 
 rational variety, as is discerned by the elevation of the pediment in the middle, and beautiful Campanile Towers at each 
 end of St. Paul’s."

 small; but was followed in their coloss or 
 greater works; for instance, in the portico of 
 the Temple of Peace*, the most magnificent 
 in old Rome, the columns were very properly 
 and necessarily doubled to make wider open¬ 
 ings, after the manner of the middle openings 
 in the porticoes of the Greek temples, to five 
 doors at unequal distances, viz. three near to¬ 
 gether, which lead into the great middle nave, 
 or body of the temple, and one to each side- 
 aisle, at greater distances. Bramante used double 
 columns without scruple, as did Michael Angelo 
 within and without the cupola of St. Peters, 
 in the Vaticairf: the like is done in the portico 
 of the Church of Santa Maria Major in Rome; 
 and also in other publick and private edifices 
 by the most celebrated architects; to instance, 
 among others, in the facade of the Palace ot 
 SS”. Caftarelli alia Valle £ built by Raphael 
 Urbin in the year 1515 ; which contains twenty- 
 six duplicated columns in front. The French 
 architects have practised the same to a good 
 effect, especially in the beautiful facade of the 
 Louvre. It is to be observed in the portico 
 of St. Paul’s, two columns are brought nearer 
 together, to make greater inter-columns alter¬ 
 nately, to give a proper space for three doors. 
 The ancients, particularly the Greeks, in their 
 temples, generally made the middle inter-column 
 wider than the rest; and as they shifted the 
 columns of the portico for the better approach 
 to one door; so at St. Pauls, lor the same 
 reason, where there are three doors, (the two 
 side-doors for daily use, and the middle for 
 solemnities,) the columns are widened, to make 
 a more open and commodious access to each; 
 and this falls out gracefully, by placing the 
 pillars alternately, eustyle, and pyenostyle. Her- 
 mogenes, who first contrived the pseudodipteron, 
 by taking away a whole range of columns to 
 enlarge the portico, went farther than his masters 
 durst before him, yet is commended by Vitru¬ 
 vius for this very thing, because useful. The 
 Romans, after the Greek examples, not only 
 
 widened the middle openings in the colonnades 
 before their temples, but followed the like 
 manner in arcades also: thus in the Colosseum, 
 or amphitheatre of Vespasian in Rome, of the 
 eighty arches, four, which lead principally to 
 the arena, were made wider than all the rest. 
 They generally took such liberties, well knowing 
 that the orders were to be adapted to their 
 proper use, and not the design too servilely 
 to the orders; of which a hundred examples 
 may be given. Those who duly examine by 
 measure the best remains of the Greek or Roman 
 structures, whether temples, pillars, arches, or 
 theatres, will soon discern, that even among 
 these is no certain general agreement; tor it is 
 manifest the ancient architects took great liber¬ 
 ties in their capitals and members of cornices, 
 to show their own inventions, even where their 
 design did not oblige them; but where it did 
 oblige them to a rational variation, still keeping 
 a good symmetry, they are surely to be com¬ 
 mended, and in like cases to be followed. We 
 now most esteem the learning of the Augustan 
 age, yet, no question there were then many dif¬ 
 ferent styles in Oratory, and perhaps some as 
 good as Cicero’s. This is not said as any induce¬ 
 ment to masons, or every novice that can draw 
 lines, to fall into crude Gothick inventions, far 
 from the good examples of the ancients, no more 
 than to encourage a barbarous style in Latin; 
 and yet surely we cannot but with Erasmus 
 laugh at him who durst not use one word that 
 he could not find in Tully. 
 
 “ To proceed in examining what has been 
 further objected, particularly why the architrave 
 within is cut ofl‘ by the arch. In this the Sur¬ 
 veyor always insisted that lie had the ancients 
 on his side; in the Templum Pacis, and in all 
 the great halls of the baths, and in all the great 
 structures of three ailes, this was done, and for 
 this reason: in those wide intercolumns the 
 architrave is not supposed to lie from one great 
 column to another, but from the column to the 
 wall of the aile, so the end of it will only

 appear upon the pillar of the inside of the great 
 navis. Vitruvius tells us, that Architecture took 
 its beginning from wooden porticoes: suppose, 
 therefore a portico of three ailes in wood, or 
 at least with the roof of timber, the architraves 
 must join the pillars ot the ailes, and not be 
 in range with the inside pillars, but cross to 
 that line; so nothing will appear upon the pil¬ 
 lars of the navis but the ends of the architraves. 
 If it be said, that in the Templum Pacis the 
 cornice is cut off as well as the architrave, the 
 answer is plain, there is not the same reason to 
 cut off the cornice of the arches at St. Paul’s, 
 which rise not so high ; for a cornice may be 
 carried within, even without pillars, (provided 
 the proportion be kept ot its due height,) much 
 more with pillars. 
 
 “ The Surveyor followed the Templum Pacis 
 as near as measures would admit, having but 
 three arcades in each of the bodies east and 
 west, as there; but where there are no arcades, 
 and next the dome, he has continued the whole 
 entablature. 
 
 “ One thing he seems to have varied from 
 the ancients, in that he has incorporated lesser 
 pilasters with the greater, and that of the same 
 Corinthian order: ’tis true the imposts of old 
 upon which the arches rested, had a particular 
 capital of the Dorick manner, and not of the 
 same capital with the pillar, as is to be seen in 
 the triumphal arches, and theatres that remain; 
 but, above all things, they were careful that this 
 capital of the impost should not have more sally 
 or projection than to lie upon the great pillar 
 or pilaster: and this was easily done in the 
 outside of buildings, where there was room 
 enough to advance the pilaster till it could re¬ 
 ceive the impost mouldings to lie against the 
 side of the pilaster; but in the inside of St. Pauls 
 it would have streightened the great nave, and 
 made the breaks of the cornice above too heavy. 
 Whether Bramante was aware ot tiiis in St. 
 Peter’s, it may be questioned, till after he had 
 laid the bases of the great pilasters; for he has 
 chopped off the cornice mouldings of the imposts 
 to give way for the pilaster to break through 
 them ; which is ungraceful, and without authority, 
 or good reason. Whatever veneration we may 
 have for this great man, yet surely in this it must 
 be owned, he hath confessed an oversight. If 
 
 any man thinks it improper to incorporate great 
 and small pillars together, as is done in the ailes 
 at St. Paul’s, let him consider the Basilica of the 
 Colonia Julia, at Fanum; which is the only piece 
 Vitruvius owns himself to be the author of; he 
 will easily perceive, that there must be small 
 pillars incorporated into the great, to bear the 
 galleries; and he will find, that the whole frieze 
 is taken up by Vitruvius to give light. 
 
 “ Bramante makes no scruple of incorporating 
 pilasters in his whole outside of St. Peter’s: the 
 Surveyor at St. Paul's chose to make the little 
 pilasters of the same order with the great, in the 
 ailes, because the opposite wall is beautified with 
 the same smaller order ; so the aile of the whole 
 length of the church is of itself a long and grace¬ 
 ful portico, without being interrupted by the legs 
 of the dome. 
 
 “ The Surveyor, in giving the entablature to 
 this order, has taken the liberty to leave out 
 members, as the. ancients did the inside of por¬ 
 ticoes : the architrave is essential in all works, 
 but they often used in the inside to leave out 
 the frieze and cornice also, except some of 
 the lower members which they added to the 
 architrave, that it might not appear too meagre. 
 By this liberty, (in which he was authorized by 
 the best ancient porticoes) he could couch most 
 of the members of the entablature of the little 
 order within the sally of the great pilaster, with¬ 
 out chopping off short the members of an impost. 
 If it be said still by any, the little pillars should 
 not have been of the same order, let them exa¬ 
 mine the Templum Pacis, they will find a little 
 colonnade continued through every arch, and 
 that of the .Corinthian order, as appears by some 
 small Corinthian capitals still adhering to the 
 great pile. 
 
 “ This temple, being an example of a three- 
 ailed fabrick, is certainly the best and most 
 authentic pattern of a Cathedral Church, which 
 must have three ailes, according to custom, and 
 be vaulted: tho’ it may not be always neces¬ 
 sary to vault with diagonal-cross vaults, as the 
 Templum Pacis, and halls of the Roman baths 
 are: the Romans used hemispherical vaultings 
 also in some places: the Surveyor chose those 
 as being demonstrably much lighter than the 
 other; so the whole vault of St. Paul’s consists 
 of twenty-four cupolas cut off semicircular with 
 
'I ] 
 
 i , 1 , 
 
 segments to join to the great arches one way, it supported itself. This machine was an ori- 
 and which are cut cross the other way with ginal of the kind, and will be a useful project 
 eliptical cylinders to let in the upper lights of for the like work to an architect hereafter; for, 
 the nave: but in the ailes the lesser cupolas since he must have scaffolds for the inside orna- 
 are both ways cut in semicircular sections; and ments, the same thus contrived will also serve 
 altogether make a graceful geometrical form, for the builders, and bear all the weight till 
 distinguished by circular wreaths, which is the the cupola be turned, and that without any 
 horizontal section of the cupola; for the hemi- standards. It was necessary to give a greater 
 sphere may be cut all manner of ways into height than the cupola would gracefully allow 
 circular sections; and the arches and wreaths within, though it is considerably above the roof 
 being of stone carved, the spandrels between are of the Church; yet the old Church having had 
 of sound brick, invested with stucco of cockle- before a very lofty spire of timber and lead, 
 shell lime, which becomes as hard as Portland the world expected, that the new work should 
 stone; and which having large planes between not in this respect fall short of the old (tho 
 
 the stone ribs, are capable of further ornaments 
 of painting, if required. Besides these twenty- 
 four cupolas there is a half cupola at the east, 
 and the great cupola of a hundred and twelve 
 feet diameter, in the middle of the crossing of 
 the great ailes. In this the Surveyor has imitated 
 the Pantheon, nr Rotnndo, in Romp; excepting 
 only that the upper order is there but umbratile, 
 not extant as at St. Paul's, out of the wall, but 
 
 that was but a spit, and this a mountain); he 
 was therefore obliged to comply with the humour 
 of the age, (tho’ not with ancient example, 
 as neither did Bramante,) and to raise another 
 structure over the first cupola; and this was 
 a cone of brick, so built as to support a stone 
 lantern of an elegant figure, and ending in orna¬ 
 ments of copper gilt. 
 
 “ As the whole Church above the vaults is 
 
 only distinguished by different coloured marbles, covered with a substantial oaken roof, and lead. 
 The Pantheon is no higher within than its dia- (for no other covering is so durable in our 
 meter; St. Peter’s is two diameters; this shows climate,) so he covered and hid out of sight the 
 too high, the other too low; the Surveyor at brick cone with another cupola ot timber and 
 St. Paul’s took a mean proportion, which shows lead; and between this and the cone are easy 
 
 its concave every way; and is very lightsome 
 by the windows of the upper order, which strike 
 down the light through the great colonnade that 
 encircles the dome without, and serves for the 
 butment of the dome, which is brick, of two 
 bricks thick; but as it rises every five feet high, 
 has a course of excellent brick of 18 inches 
 long, banding through the whole thickness*. 
 The concave was turned upon a centre; which 
 was judged necessary to keep the work even 
 and true, though a cupola might be built with¬ 
 out a centre; but this is observable, that the 
 centre was laid without any standards from 
 below to support it; and as it was both cen- 
 
 stairs that ascend to the lantern. 
 
 “ He took no care to make little luthera 
 windows in the leaden cupola, as are done out 
 of St. Peter’s, because he had otherwise pro¬ 
 vided for light enough to the stairs from the 
 lantern above, and round the pedestal of the 
 same, which are not seen below; so that he 
 only ribb’d the outward cupola, which he thought 
 less Gothick, than to stick it full of such little 
 lights in three stories, one above the other, (as is 
 executed in the cupola of St. Peter's at Rome,) 
 which could not without difficulty be mended, 
 and if neglected would soon damage the timbers. 
 
 “ The inside of the whole cupola is painted, 
 
 tering and scaffolding, it remained for the use and richly decorated, by an eminent English 
 of the painter. Every story of this scaffolding artist, Sir James Thornhill, containing, in eight 
 being circular, and the ends of all the ledgers compartments, the Histories ot St. Paul. In 
 meeting as so many rings, and truly wrought, the crown of the vault, as in the Pantheon, 
 
 * “ The bricks in the ruins of the Roman wall, and multangular tower at York, are about seventeen inches of English 
 measure long, and about eleven inches broad, and two inches and a half thick; measured by the ingenious Mr. Lister, 
 and communicated to the Royal Society, 16S3. [Phil. Trans. No. 149.]”

 is a circular opening, by which not only the 
 lantern transmits light, but the inside ornaments 
 of the painted and gilded cone display a new 
 and agreeable scene*. 
 
 “ Although the dome wants no butment, yet, 
 for greater caution, it is hooped with iron in 
 this manner; a channel is cut in the bandage 
 of Portland-stone, in which is laid a double 
 chain of iron strongly linked together at every 
 ten feet, and the whole channel filled up with 
 lead 
 
 “ Among all the composures of the ancients, 
 we find no cupolas raised above the necessary 
 
 loading of the hemisphere, as is seen particularly 
 in the Pantheon. In after ages the dome of 
 Florence, and of the great church of Venice, 
 was raised higher. The Saracens mightily af¬ 
 fected it, in imitation of the first most eminent 
 pattern, given by Justinian, in his temple of 
 Sancta Sophia, at Constantinople. Bramante 
 would not fall short of those examples; nor 
 could the Surveyor do otherwise than gratify 
 the general taste of the age, which had been 
 so used to steeples, that these round designs 
 were hardly digested, unless raised to a remark¬ 
 able height J.”

 * “ The judgement of the Surveyor was originally, instead of painting in the manner it is now perform’d, to 
 have beautified the inside of the cupola with the more durable ornament of Mosaic-work, as is nobly executed in 
 the cupola of St. Peter’s in Rome, which strikes the eye of the beholder with a most magnificent and splendid 
 appearance; and which, without the least decay of colours, is as lasting as marble, or the building itself. For this 
 purpose he had projected to have procured from Italy four of the most eminent artists in that profession; but as 
 this art was a great novelty in England, and not generally apprehended, it did not receive the encouragement it 
 deserved; it was imagined also the expense would prove too great, and the time very long in the execution; but 
 tho’ these and all objections were fully answered, yet this excellent design was no further pursued. 
 
 “ The painting and gilding of the architecture of the east-end of the Church over the communion table was 
 intended only to serve the present occasion, till such time as materials could have been procured for a magnifi¬ 
 cent design of an altar, consisting of four pillars wreathed, of the richest Greek marbles, supporting a canopy 
 hemispherical, with proper decorations of architecture and sculpture: for which the respective drawings, and a 
 model were prepared. 
 
 “ Information, and particular descriptions of certain blocks of marble were once sent to the right reverend 
 Dr. Compton, bishop of London, from a Levantine merchant in Holland, and communicated to the Surveyor, 
 but unluckily the colours and scantlings did not answer his purpose; so it rested in expectance of a fitter oppor¬ 
 tunity, else probably this curious and stately design had been finished at the same time with the main 
 fabrick.” 
 
 t Malcolm states this chain to have been made in 17 05 by John Tijone, (it should be Tijoue,) and to have 
 weighed 95 cwt. 3 qrs. 23 lb. Londin. Rcdiviv. vol. iii. p. 109. 
 
 t “ Thus, says the compiler of the Parcntalia, “ was this mighty fabrick, the second church for grandeur in 
 
 Europe, in the space of thirty-five years,” (that is as far as the Surveyor's duty was required,) “ begun and 
 
 finished by one architect, and under one bishop of London, Dr. Henry Compton: the charge supported chiefly 
 
 by a small and easy imposition on sea-coal brought to the Port of London: whereas the. church of St. Peter 
 
 in Rome, (the only edifice that can come in competition with it,) continued in the building the space of a 
 hundred and forty-five years; carried on by no less than twelve architects successively, assisted by the police and 
 interests of the Roman-Sce, and the ready acquisition of marble, and attended by the best artists of the world in

 detailed in Northcote’s Memoirs of Sir Joshua 
 Reynolds. 
 
 “ The Chapel of Old Somerset-House, which 
 had been given by his Majesty to the Royal 
 Academy, was mentioned one evening at the 
 meeting, as a place which offered a good oppor¬ 
 tunity of convincing the public at large of the 
 advantages that would arise from ornamenting 
 cathedrals and churches with the productions 
 of the pencil; productions which might be 
 useful in their effect, and at the same time 
 not likely to give offence in a protestant country. 
 The idea was therefore started, that if the mem¬ 
 bers should ornament this chapel, the example 
 might thus afford an opening for the introduction 
 of the art into other places of a similar nature, 
 and which, as it was then stated, would not only 
 present a new and noble scene of action, that 
 might become highly ornamental to the king¬ 
 dom, but would be, in some measure, absolutely 
 necessary for the future labour of the numerous 
 students educated under the auspices of the Royal 
 Academy. 
 
 “ All the members were struck with the pro¬ 
 priety, and even with the probability of success 
 which attended the scheme; but Sir Joshua 
 Reynolds, in particular, immediately took it up 
 on a bolder plan, and offered an amendment, 
 saying, that, instead of the chapel, they should 
 fly at once at higher game, and undertake 
 St. Paul's Cathedral. The grandeur and mag¬ 
 
 nificent liberality of this idea immediately gained 
 the suffrages and plaudits of all present, and the 
 president was empowered to make the proper 
 application to the Dean and Chapter; an appli¬ 
 cation which was immediately acceded to on 
 their part. At that time, Dr. Newton, bishop 
 of Bristol, was the dean of St. Paul’s, who 
 was a strong advocate in favour of this scheme. 
 
 “ A meeting of the Academy then took 
 place, when six artists were chosen for the 
 attempt; these were Sir Joshua Reynolds, Mr. 
 West the present president, Barry, Dance, 
 Cipriani, and Angelica Kauffman. 
 
 “ The Society for the encouragement of Arts 
 and Manufactures also took up the business, 
 and added four artists to the original number. 
 
 “ The subject which Sir Joshua proposed to 
 execute, was that of the Virgin and Christ in 
 the manger, or Nativity; but the whole plan 
 was set aside in consequence of Dr. Terrick, 
 then bishop of London, having refused his 
 consent. 
 
 “ This has been noticed by Barry, in one 
 of his Letters, when he says, ‘ Sir Joshua Rey- 
 ‘ nolds, who had undertaken the management 
 * of this business, informed us last Monday after 
 ‘ his return from Plympton, where he was 
 ‘ chosen mayor, that the archbishop of Can- 
 ‘ terbury and bishop of London had never 
 ‘ given any consent to it, and that all thoughts 
 ‘ about it must consequently drop*.’ ”

 the Account of his own Life, has left us the following remarks on this occasion. 
 
 “ Sir James Thornhill had painted the History of St. Paul in the Cupola, the worst part of the Church that 
 could have been painted, for the pictures there are most exposed to the changes of the weather, suffer greatly from 
 damp and heat, and let what will be done to prevent it, it is to be feared must in no very long time all decay and 
 perish. It was happy therefore that Sir James's eight original sketches and designs, which were higher finished than

 Another opportunity of decorating St. Paul s, 
 though long neglected, has not been entirely 
 lost. 
 
 Lord Orford, comparing St. Peter’s at Rome 
 and St. Paul's, says: “ The excess of plainness 
 in our Cathedral disappoints the spectator after 
 
 so rich an approach. The late Prince of Jl ales, 
 I have heard, intended to introduce Tombs into 
 it, and to begin with that of his Grandfather*. 
 
 The result of a similar intention at another 
 time is thus detailed in bishop Newton's Life, 
 already quoted. “ When bishop Newton was 
 
 usual in order to be carried and shewn to Queen Anne, were purchased of his family at the reeommendat.on of the 
 dean in the year 1779, and are hung up in the great room at the Chapter House. Besides the exposition of these 
 nictures to the weather in the cupola, they are at such a height that they cannot conveniently be seen from any 
 part and add little to the beauty and ornament of the Church. They had better have been placed below for 
 below they would have been seen, and there are compartments whtch were ongmally designed for bas-reliefs or 
 such like decorations; but the Parliament, as it is said, having taken part of the fabric money, and applied ,t to 
 Kina William’s wars, Sir Christopher Wren complained that hi, wings were dipt, and the Church was deprived 
 of its ornaments. Here then a fair opportunity was offered for retrieving the loss and supplying former defects It 
 was certainly a most generous and noble offer on tbe part of the academicians, and the public ought to think 
 themselves greatly obliged to them for it. The Deap and Chapter were all equally pleased with it; and the Dean 
 in the fulness of his heart, went to communicate it to the greet patron of Arts, and readily obtained his royal 
 consent and approbation. But tbe trustees of the fabric, the archbishop of Canterbury and the bishop of 
 London were also to be consulted, and they disapproved the measure. Bishop Temck, both as trustee of the 
 fabric and as bishop of the diocese, strenuously opposed it; whether he took it amiss that the proposal was not 
 first made to him, and by him the intelligence conveyed to hi. Majesty; or whether he was really afraid as he 
 said, that it would occasion a great noise and clamor against it as an artful introduction of popery. Whatever 
 were his reasons, it must be acknowledged that some other serious person, disapproved the setting up of picture, 
 in churches It was in truth not an object of that concern as to run the risk of a general outcry and clamor 
 
 aeainst it . but the general opinion plainly appeared to be on the contrary side much in favour of the scheme; and 
 
 ° cht have been the case in the days of our first reformers, there was surely no danger now of picture, 
 
 and idolatry; they would only make scripture history better known ami remem¬ 
 bered ' & Many ^thcr churched and chapel, have adopted and are adopting this measure, as Rochester, Winchester, 
 Salisbury St. Stephen’s Walbrook, and several Colleges in the Universities. The House of Commons have given 
 a rich painted window to their Church of St. Margaret’s Westminster. Bishop Terrick himself approved , not 
 contributed to, the setting up of a picture of the Annunciation by Cipriani, in Ihe Chapel of h„ own Co lege 
 Clare Hall at Cambridge; and why should such ornaments be denied to the capital Church ,n the kingdom 1 
 The dean rather than the scheme should be totally laid aside, proposed to make a trial and experiment how 
 the thing ’would bear. Most Churches and Chapels, he observed, have something of ornament and decoration about 
 
 the communion table. You sometimes see, even in the country, 
 
 Moses and Aaron upon a Church wall 
 
 Holding up the Commandments for fear they should fall. 
 
 w hate vi 
 
 seducing our people into popery 
 
 But St Paul’s will not well admit of any ornament over the communion table, because it would darken the 
 windows there which give the principal light to the quire. lint near to the communion table are two doors, one 
 opening into the north and the other into the south aile; and over these two doors are proper compartments for 
 two pictures. It was therefore proposed by the dean, that Sir Joshua Reynolds and Mr. West should paint these 
 two pictures- and Mr. West’s design heing the giving of the two tables to Moses from the Cloud of Glory; the 
 people all stindinv beneath; and Sir Joshua’s design being the Infant Jesus lying in the manger, with the shepherd, 
 surrounding, and the light flowing all from the child as in the famous Nolle of Corregio; here was the beginning 
 both of the Law and the Gospel, here was nothing that could encourage superstition or idolatry, nothing that could 
 possibly give any one any just offence. Let the trial be made only by these picture,; and if they occasion any 
 noise and clamor, then let an end be pm to the whole affair; if they are well received and approved and 
 applauded by the public, then let the other artists proceed. But reasonable as this proposition was generally 
 thou.hl to be, it was overruled by the same authority as the former; and whether the merits or demerits are 
 t ” r of those who favoured the design, or of those who defeated it, the present age and impartial posterity must 
 judge Sir Joshua has wrought up his design into a noble picture. Mr. West exhibited bis drawing at one of the 
 public exhibitions of the Royal Academy, and Mr. Barry has published an etching of his design, the Fall of Angels, 
 both excellent, both masterly performances; and it is much to be wished that the other artist, would follow their 
 example.’’ Bishop Newton’s Life prefixed to his W’orks. 4’°. Lond. 1782. vol. l, p. 106.

 Saint Raul’s Catljetiral. 
 
 only one of the residentiaries, a statuary of 
 some note came to him in his summer month 
 of residence, desiring leave to set up a monu¬ 
 ment in St. Paul's for one who had formerly 
 been a lord mayor and representative of the 
 City of London. The Dean and his other 
 brethren of the Chapter being in the country, 
 he went to consult with Archbishop Seeker upon 
 the subject; and archbishop Seeker was so far 
 from making any objection, that he much ap¬ 
 proved the design of monuments, saying what 
 advantages foreign churches have over our’s, and 
 that St. Paul’s was too naked and bare for want 
 of monuments, which would be a proper orna¬ 
 ment, and give a venerable air to the church, 
 provided care was taken, that there be nothing 
 improper in their structure, or in the inscriptions 
 upon them. But when the thing was proposed 
 to bishop Osbaldeston, he was violent against 
 it. Sir Christopher Wren had designed no such 
 things. There had been no monuments in all 
 the time before he was bishop, and in his time 
 there should be none. He was desired to look 
 upon the print which hung over his head of the 
 inner section of St. Paul’s, wherein he would see 
 that Sir Christopher Wren had designed monu¬ 
 ments, especially in the recesses under the win¬ 
 dows : but he was not to be convinced; churches, 
 he said, were better without monuments than 
 with them. Since the bishop was so peremptory, 
 it was judged proper not to push the matter any 
 farther, especially since the person for whom the 
 monument was desired was not one of the most 
 illustrious characters, nor deserving to be the first 
 instance of the kind. Few, I conceive, will agree 
 in opinion with bishop Osbaldeston, that churches 
 are better without monuments than with them. 
 The sense of mankind has been contrary in all 
 ages and in all countries: and it is really a 
 wonder that no more applications have been 
 made for erecting monuments in St. Paul’s. 
 Westminster Abbey is too full of them. It 
 may be said to be incrusted with monuments; 
 and in some places they are ridiculously piled 
 
 two stories high one over another. At St. Paul’s 
 there is ample room, and spaces designed for 
 monuments: and what a magnificent and glori¬ 
 ous church would it be with a proper intermixture 
 of pictures and statues, and what an ornament 
 and honor to the metropolis and to the king¬ 
 dom ! The great difficulty is to find a suitable 
 person to begin with, of eminence and dignity 
 sufficient to set an example to the rest. Several 
 gentlemen were desirous of opening a public sub¬ 
 scription for a monument to Mr. Pope in St. 
 Paul's, as had been done to Shakespear in West¬ 
 minster Abbey; but Mr. Pope’s religion was 
 some objection to this scheme. It was a 
 better thought of erecting the first monument 
 to bishop Sherlock, whose father had been 
 Dean, and himself bishop of London so many 
 years*.” 
 
 Bishop Newton, who died dean of St. Paul's 
 in 1782, left an injunction in his will that a 
 monument should be erected to his memory in 
 St. Paul’s, if possible, which was to cost five 
 hundred pounds: still cherishing a hope of 
 introducing the arts into the Cathedral. This, 
 however, was denied to his family, and his 
 monument, executed by Banks, was placed in 
 the chancel of the Church of St. Mary-le- 
 Bow Cheapside, of which he was the rector, 
 according to his order in case of a refusal of 
 his requestj'. 
 
 In 1791 an application having been made for 
 the admission of a statue to the memory of 
 Mr. Howard, a general consent, under proper 
 restrictions, was given by the Dean and Chapter, 
 for the introduction of Monuments to departed 
 worth ; no monument to be erected without the 
 design having been first approved of by a 
 Committee of the Royal Academicians, that 
 nothing might be done that would not corre¬ 
 spond with or contribute to the ornament of the 
 building J. 
 
 Subsequent to this, after it had been deter¬ 
 mined to erect a monument to Dr. Johnson 
 in Westminster Abbey, and a place had been

 assigned for that purpose, Sir Joshua Rey¬ 
 nolds prevailed on those who were associated 
 with him in the management of the monu¬ 
 ment, to consent that it should be placed in 
 St. Paul’s, in a situation corresponding with 
 Mr. Howard’s*. 
 
 This was the second Monument introduced. 
 Others have been since added: and St. Pauls, 
 which had been hitherto visited for architectural 
 magnificence only, is now rising into a depository 
 for tributes of national respect.

 ■\TIGH the iron gate leading into the south aile, against the south-east pier of the Dome, 
 stands the Statue erected to Mr. Howard ', opened to the public in 1796. His figure 
 was intended by the Sculptor to present the character of active benevolence. He is represented 
 trampling upon chains and fetters; his right hand holding a key, to express the circumstance of his 
 exploring dungeons; in his left a scroll of papers, on one of which is written, “ plan for the 
 improvement of prisons,” and on the corner of another, the word “ hospitals another 
 paper at the foot of the statue has the word “ regvlatio’ns” written on it. A bas-relief 
 in the front of the pedestal completes the design. It represents a scene in a prison, where 
 Mr. Howard having broken the chains of the prisoners, is bringing provisions and clothing 
 for their relief. Immediately above the bas-relief are the words JOHN HOWARD. 
 
 On one side of the pedestal is the following inscription, written by the late Samuel

 Opposite to this monument stands that for Captain Faulknor , who is represented as crowned 
 by Victory, whilst falling into the arms of Neptune. The pedestal bears this inscription: 
 
 “ This Monument was erected 
 by the British Parliament 
 to commemorate the gallant conduct 
 of Captain Robert Faulknor, 
 who on the 5 th of January 1795 
 in the thirty-second year of his age 
 and in the moment of victory 
 was killed on board the Blanche Frigate 
 while engaging La Pique, a French Frigate 
 of very superior force. 
 
 The circumstances of determined bravery, that distinguished this action, 
 which lasted five hours, deserve to be recorded. 
 
 Captain Faulknor having observed the great superiority of the enemy, 
 and having lost most of his masts and rigging, 
 watched an opportunity of the bowsprit of La Pique coming athwart the Blanche 
 and with his own hands lashed it to the capstern, 
 and thus converted the whole stern of the Blanche into one Battery; 
 but unfortunately soon after this bold and daring m&nceuvre, 
 he was shot through the heart.” 
 
 The sculptor of this Monument was Mr. Charles Rossi. 
 
 In a pannel above Captain Burgess’s monument is a sarcophagus in relievo for Captain Hardinge. 
 On one side of it an Indian warrior is seated, bearing the British standard : on the other a figure,

 Under the west window of the north transept, within an iron railing, is a monumental groupe, 
 by Rossi, in honour of Admiral Lord Rodney. The figure of the admiral is of the colossal 
 size, standing on a square pedestal. His right hand resting on his sword: his left supported 
 by the rudder of a vessel. A female figure, representing Fame, standing lower than the admiral’s 
 statue, to which she is pointing, appears to instruct the Historic Muse, who is placed on the 
 other side of the pedestal, about to record the actions of Lord Rodney. 
 
 On the upper part of the pedestal is the name 
 
 LORD RODNEY. 
 
 Under the east window of the same transept is a monument to the memory of the Captains 
 Mosse and Riou. 
 
 It consists of a sarcophagus on an insulated base, in the front of which two winged figures, 
 representing Victory and Fame, hold medallions of the deceased commandeis. Round the 
 head of one Capt. JAMES ROBERT MOSSE: round the other Capt. EDWARD RIOU. 
 Between the medallions this inscription :

 JAMES ROBERT MOSSE, Captain of the Monarch 
 and EDWARD RIOU of the Amazon, 
 who fell in the attack upon Copenhagen 
 conducted by Lord NELSON, 2 d April 1801,

 To EDWARD RIOU, 
 who was born in 1762, 
 an extraordinary occasion was presented 
 in the early part of his service, 
 of signalizing his intrepidity 
 and presence of mind, 
 
 which were combined with the most anxious 
 solicitude for the lives of those under his command 
 and a magnanimous disregard of his own. 
 
 When his ship, the Guardian , struck upon 
 an Island of Ice, in Dec. 1789, and afforded no prospect 
 but that of immediate destruction to those on board, 
 
 Lieut. Riou encouraged all who desired to take the chance 
 of preserving themselves in the boats, to consult their safety; 
 but judging it contrary to his own duty 
 to desert the Vessel, 
 he neither gave himself up to despair, 
 nor relaxed his exertions; 
 
 Whereby, after ten weeks of the most perilous navigation, 
 he succeeded in bringing his disabled ship into Port, 
 receiving this high reward 
 of fortitude and perseverance, 
 from the divine Providence 
 on whose protection he relied. 
 
 On the lower part of the pedestal, in front, a trident, placed horizontally, passes through a 
 laurel crown.

 The following are the only INSCRIPTIONS of importance in the CRYPT beneath St. Paul’s ; 
 which like the main body of the Cathedral, is divided into three ailes or avenues, sepa¬ 
 rated by pillars. The middle aile being totally dark, and a portion of the north aile, at 
 the east end, railed off as the Church of St. Faith; now used only for interments. 
 
 Under a window, near the south-east corner of the Crypt, an altar tomb, raised about a foot from 
 the ground, commemorates Sir Christopher Wren: 
 
 “ Here lieth 
 
 Sir Christopher Wren knight, 
 the builder of this Cathedral 
 Church of St. Paul, 
 who died 
 
 in the year of our Lord 
 
 MDCCXXI1I. 
 and of his age xci.” 
 
 Near this tomb lies a flat stone for bishop Newton, on which is written : 
 
 " In a Vault 
 beneath this stone 
 are deposited the remains of 
 Thomas Newton, D.D. 
 
 Lord Bishop of Bristol 
 and 
 
 Dean of this Cathedral, 
 who died Feb. 14' h . 1782, 
 aged 78.” 
 
 Against a pier, within a few yards of Sir Christopher Wren’s tomb, is the following inscrip¬

 In the recess of a window between the descent to the crypt and the tomb of Sir Christopher 
 Wren, is an altar tomb, raised about the same height from the ground, within iron fails, inscribed 
 
 “To the memory of

 In the middle aile of the Crypt, immediately beneath the centre of the Dome, within iron 
 rails, stands the Tomb of Lord Nelson: a sarcophagus of black and white marble, resting 
 on a square pedestal, and that again resting on a square base of coarse masonry. On one 
 side of the pedestal, in letters of metal, are the words 
 
 HORATIO . VISC . NELSON. 
 
 A coronet and cushion are placed on the Sarcophagus. Within the square base of masonry 
 below the body of Lord Nelson is inclosed. His nephew, Lord Trafalgar, was interred 
 shortly after him, in a vault beneath. 
 
 The Sarcophagus and pedestal were brought from Wolsey’s Tomb-House at Windsor; they 
 were the same which the Cardinal had prepared for the reception of his own body in the 
 time of King Henry the VUIth. 
 
 " a recess ’ at the east end > ‘he small remains of the monuments formerly in the old 
 Cathedra 1 are now collected : the principal of which is the figure of Dr. Donne in his shroud, 
 carved by Nicholas Stone; and which, as we are informed by Lord Orford, cost 1201 The 
 rest, with the exception of Dean Colet’s headless bust, appear to have been principally parts 
 of recumbent figures *, with a few other fragments of arms, pedestals, &c. 
 
 The north-east part of the churchyard of St. Paul’s is appropriated as a cemetery to the 
 inhabitants of St. Faith’s parish united with St. Austin’s. The south-east part, with a vault 
 therein, is appropriated in the same manner to the parishioners of St. Gregory’s. 
 
 An annual celebration is held in St. Paul’s, usually at the beginning of May, for the relief of the 
 poor Widows and children of clergymen. It was originally held in the church of St. Mary-le-Bow 
 Lheapside, whence it was removed to St. Paul’s in 1697. The Governors of the Charity who 
 were incorporated tor the above purpose by King Charles II., have for many years endeavoured to

 is probable they were more numerous and better preserved than at present.

 t It may not bo irrelevant here to notice one or two facts not altogether unimportant in a History St. Paul s. 
 
 On Feb 27th 177S, some villains got into the Dean’s vestry, and stole about twelve pounds in money, and a piece o 
 Irish cloth. They burnt or destroyed the sacred vestments; and so intoxicated themselves w.th the sacramental wme, that 
 they left the room in the most filthy condition. See Gent. Mag. vol. xlvm. p. 137. . 
 
 In June 1780, during the Riots in the metropolis, a large party of soldiers were lodged rn the Church. Ilnd. vol. 1. 
 
 P ' The following particulars of a robbery in the Cathedral, far more daring and considerable than that of 1778, deserve to 
 
 b ” e Sundt;, December 23, ,810. This morning the sacrist of St. Paul's Cathedral, on approaching the repository where 
 the sacramental plate is kept, in order to lake it to the altar, fonnd the iron door had been double-locked; as key could 
 only open it if singly locked, he concluded the officer who kept the master-key had done ,t; he accordingly went to , 
 and they both repai ed to ,he spot; when, on opening the door, a mo, affecting scene presented itself: the two large chest, 
 had been forced open and rifled of,heir valuable contents; a magnificent edition of the Bible and Common Prayer two 
 volumes • the covers of which were of solid silver, most beautifully chased with Scripture History was deprived of Us 
 ornaments; and ,he whole of the tmmense booty, amounting to , 7 <il ounces, was carried off. The v,Rams seem o hav 
 acted with the most cool deliberation. To effect their purpose they had to pass eight doors before .hoy reach 
 repository: each of these doors they opened, and on their return carefully re-locked, excepting the ,ron door which 
 they double-locked. The large chest, were each secured by two immense padlocks, besides the principal chest t* . 
 the padlocks they opened, but the locks baffling their exertions, they contrived to force the chests open 
 robbery must certainly have been committed on the night of Friday or Saturday, as on the former day the plate 
 was used a, an ordination. The intrinsic value of the plunder is not the only thing to be lamented; as „reat 
 
 part of it was of the most curious antique workmanship, being presents from different Deans, and other pious 
 persons, and might be considered as exquisite specimens of .he workmanship of the different ages in w ic ey 
 Led, and could not now be executed at so low a sum as ^20011. Every precaution and means have been taken 
 to discover the depredators, but hitherto without effect.” Gent. Mag. vol. lxxx. part u. p. 655.

 I 604. He was ex-

 Sebert, king of the 
 East Saxons: but 
 in 610 succeeded 
 to the metropolitan see. He died April 24th, 
 
 624. 
 
 II. Cedda succeeded to the bishoprick in 
 654, according to the generality of authorities, 
 but is placed, in an old list of the Bishops, in 
 Sir William Dugdale’s Appendix, as early as 621. 
 He founded the abbey of Lestingham in York¬ 
 shire, where he died October 26th, 664. 
 
 III. Wine, bishop of Winchester, being 
 driven from his see by Renewaltho king of the 
 West Saxons, obtained the bishoprick ©f London 
 from Wolfere king of Mercia, A. D. 666. He 
 died in 671, when his bones were entombed in 
 the north part of the presbytery at Winchester. 
 
 IV. Erkenwald, or Erkenwold, son of 
 Offa king ot the East Angles, was consecrated in 
 675. He founded the monasteries of Chertsey 
 and Berking; at the latter of which he died 
 about the year 685. Newcourt says the time of 
 his death is not certain. There were great strug- 
 glings, he adds, after his death between the 
 canons of St. Paul’s and the monks of Chertsey, 
 both challenging the body to be buried with 
 them : but in the mean time the people of 
 London took away the body, and caused it to 
 be buried in his own cathedral church, where 
 it was interred in the nave : and afterwards, 
 A. D. 1140, (but more solemnly after that, in 
 1148,) translated, and laid in a very sumptuous 
 shrine. His obit was commemorated April 30th. 
 Stow says he died in 607.

 V. Waldher, or Waltiier, succeeded 
 Erkenwald, but in what year is uncertain; pro¬ 
 bably after April 685. Bede says he invested 
 Sebbi, king of the East Saxons, with the monas- 
 tical habit, about the year 604. Pie is omitted 
 in the catalogue already quoted, in Sir William 
 Dugdale’s Appendix. 
 
 V 1. Ingwald sate as bishop about the year 
 701. He died about the year 744 or 745. 
 
 VII. Ecgwlf, Egulf, Engulfe, Eg- 
 "wolfe, or Egnald, was the next bishop. He 
 was present at the Council of Clovesho, 
 A. D. 747. 
 
 VIII. WlGHED, WlGIIET, WlGETH, WlG- 
 IIERUS, WlHELRUS, WlGETUS, SlGHAH, or 
 Sibbeh, called in the catalogue in Sir William 
 Dugdale’s Appendix Myhf.thus, has transmit¬ 
 ted nothing to posterity but his name. Stow 
 places him as bishop of London in 754. 
 
 IX. Eadbright, by some called Filbrith 
 Eadbricht, Eadbert, or Ed bert us, is placed 
 by Stow in 761. 
 
 X. Eadgar, or Edgar, held the see of 
 London in 780, when he attested the Charter of 
 King Offa to the Church of Rochester. Stow 
 notices him as early as the year 768. 
 
 XI. Kenewalchus, Cenwalh, Ken- 
 
 WALD, COENWALCHUS, KENWALK, Or KeNE- 
 •WALTH, occurs bishop of London in 773. 
 
 XII. Eadbaldus occurs in 784. 
 
 XIII. Heathobright, Hecbf.rt, Hea- 
 thoberht,7Eathoberht,Herebert, Hado- 
 
 bricht, or Eadbert, is the next bishop who 
 occurs. In the London Catalogue he is called 
 Heodoberdus. In that in Sir William Dug¬ 
 dale’s Appendix Theodobertus. Stow, who 
 calls him Hedbert or Hethobert, says he 
 was bishop in 705. He died A. D. 802. 
 
 XIV. Osmund, Osemund, or Oswyn, 
 succeeded in 802. He died before the year 816. 
 
 XV. TEthelnoth, Eathelnot, or Ethel- 
 
216 
 
 die ^tstorp of 
 
 moth, was present at the Council of Chelsey, 
 A. D. 816. Stow erroneously supposes him to 
 have been bishop in 835. 
 
 XVI. Ceolbryht, Ceolbrichtus, Cel- 
 bertus, Ceolbertus, Celebertus, or Ce- 
 rebertus, was consecrated before the year 830. 
 He occurs in 838. 
 
 XVII. Deorwlf, Cerulpiius, Cernulph, 
 Dernulfus, Reiiulphus, Ceorulfus, or 
 Cerolf, is placed in 841. Newcourt supposes 
 him to have been the same with Theodoric, 
 whom Ralph de Diceto notices as bishop in 848. 
 That Dernulf bishop of London made his pro¬ 
 fession to Ceolnoth archbishop of Canterbury, 
 appears by the registry of Canterbury. 
 
 XVIII. Swithulf, or Swytiiolf, suc¬ 
 ceeded in 851 ; in which year he subscribed a 
 charter to the abbey of Croyland. 
 
 XIX. Heahstanus, Eadstanus, Etsta- 
 nus, /Elfstan, Ealhstan, or Eastan, called 
 in the London Catalogue Ethstanus primus, 
 is placed by Stow and Godwin in 860 ; but it is 
 on the authority of a charter to Croyland abbey, 
 supposed to be fictitious. Newcourt thinks the 
 time of his death is more correctly placed in 898 
 or 900. 
 
 XX. WULFSIUS, WuLFSIGE, WULSIUS, or 
 Wulfius, subscribed the Royal charters to the 
 monastery of Hide, near Winchester, in the years 
 900 and 904. 
 
 XXL Ethelwardus, or Edelwardus, 
 the next bishop, is erroneously placed by Stow 
 in 878. 
 
 XXII. IIealhstanus secundus , Etstan, 
 Ealstan, or Elstan, was bishop of London 
 after the year 926: though Godwin, who seems 
 to mistake him for Ealstan L, says he died in 
 898 or 900. 
 
 XXIII. Tiieodredus, Theodoricus, or 
 Theodore, sumamed the good , occurs in the 
 charters of Malmsbury and Reculver monasteries 
 in the years 938 and 939- The London Cata¬ 
 logue, as well as that in Sir William Dugdale’s 
 Appendix, by some singular mistake, represent 
 him to have been consecrated in 848. Godwin 
 places him in the year 900: and Stow in 947. 
 He is said to have been buried in St. Paul’s. 
 
 XXIV. WuLFSTANUS I. 01’ WlSTANUS, 
 called also Leo fu stan, is noticed by Stow as 
 bishop in 922. 
 
 XXV. Brithelmus, Brichtiielm, Byrh- 
 thelme, or Britiiemus, in the London Cata¬ 
 logue, as well as in that in Sir William Dugdale’s 
 Appendix, is stated to have died in 858: but 
 this is a mistake of a hundred years, our histo¬ 
 rians placing his death in 958. He subscribed 
 the charter to the monastery of Abingdon in 956. 
 Stow places him as bishop of London in 941. 
 
 XXVI. Dunstan, bishop of Worcester, was 
 translated to this see in 958 : though some histo¬ 
 rians state that he only received it in commendam. 
 Having sat but one year, he was removed to the 
 metropolitan see of Canterbury, where he died 
 in 988. 
 
 XXVII. Ealhstanus III. /Elfstanus, 
 Estanus, Ealfstan, Athelstan, or Elf- 
 stan; in the London Catalogue called Elsta- 
 nus tertius, and placed before Dunstan. He 
 succeeded Dunstan, and was bishop more than 
 thirty years. He subscribed the charter of Wor¬ 
 cester monastery in 964, of Malmsbury in 974, 
 of Rochester in 995, of Siricius the archbishop 
 in the same year, and of Wolverhampton in 996. 
 During his episcopate St. Paul’s Church was 
 burnt, A. D. 961. 
 
 XXVIII. Wulfstanus II. or Wlstan, 
 omitted by Stow, was consecrated bishop in 996. 
 His signature occurs to a charter of Rochester 
 in 998, to that of Shaftsbury in 1001, and to 
 Canterbury in the year 1002. 
 
 XXIX. jElfhunus, Aliiunus, Elwinus, 
 or Alphunus, occurs in 1012, when he interred 
 the body of St. Elphege in St. Paul’s Church. 
 In the following year he carried Edward and 
 Alfred, the sons of King Ethelred, to Normandy. 
 The London Catalogue, as well as that in Dug¬ 
 dale’s Appendix, calls him Adelfunus. In 
 Godwin he is called Alhum. Stow places 
 before him Elphmus, bishop of London in 1004, 
 and Alwinus, bishop of London in 1010. 
 
 XXX. .ZElfwtus, by others called Alwi¬ 
 nus, Alwius, or Alwy, succeeded after the 
 year 1015. He subscribed a charter of King 
 Canute to the church of Canterbury in the year 
 1023 : and died before the year 1035. 
 
 XXXI. jElfwordus, Ailfward, or Ail- 
 word, called in the London Catalogue Elfi- 
 mord, in that in Dugdale’s Appendix Elfu- 
 nord, and by Godwin Elf ward or A l word, 
 was promoted by King Canute, his kinsman, 
 
Saint Raul’s CatijeUral

 to the see of London before the year 1035 : 
 with which he also held the abbey of Evesham, 
 in Worcestershire. He died, according to the 
 best authorities, in 1044. 
 
 XXXII. Robert, a Norman, was made 
 bishop of London by King Edward the Con¬ 
 fessor, in 1044. He was translated to the see 
 of Canterbury in 1051: driven from England, 
 with other bishops of the Norman nation, in 
 1052: and died at Gemetica in Normandy, of 
 which place he had been abbat, in 1070. 
 
 XXXIII. William, another Norman, and 
 chaplain to King Edward the Confessor, was 
 consecrated bishop of London in the month of 
 September 1051, on the rejection of Spegacius 
 or Spewcafocus, abbat of Abingdon, to whom 
 the bishoprick had been given by the king. 
 Wharton makes him live beyond the time noticed 
 on his monument, and says he was present at 
 a synod held at London, in 1075. He was suc¬ 
 ceeded in that year, though Godwin and Stow 
 say in 1070, by 
 
 XXXIV. Hugh de Orivalle, or Or¬ 
 well. This bishop was afflicted with leprosy, 
 of which disease he is said to have died in 
 1084. 
 
 XXXV. Maurice, chaplain and chancellor 
 to the Conqueror, was nominated by him to the 
 see of London, in a convention of the bishops 
 and great men at Gloucester in 1085: and

 the First (in the absence of the archbishop) 
 A. D. 1100: and died September 26th, 1107*.

 de Beaumes, called also Beame, Beamor,

 church of St. Osyth in Essex. 
 
 XXXVII. Gilbert Universalis, a 
 canon of Lyons, was consecrated January 22d, 
 1128. There is some difference of opinion as

 XXXVIII. Robert de Sigillo is the 
 next bishop on record. Anselm, abbat of St. 
 Edmunds, nephew to archbishop Anselm, had 
 been chosen, confirmed by the Pope, and even 
 inthronized as bishop in 1136, though not only 
 against the king’s will, but against the votes of 
 the dean and many of the canons, by whose 
 appeals to Rome the election was at last made 
 void. Robert de Sigillo received the bishoprick 
 from the Empress Maud in 1141. He died 
 about the year 1151 or 1152.

 bishop who was canonically translated from one 
 bishoprick to another. He gave some ground 
 within St. Paul’s churchyard whereon to build a 
 house for the dean. He died February the 18th, 
 1J 87. Stow says in 1186. 
 
 XLI. Richard de Ely, after a vacancy of 
 two years, was consecrated and inthronized on 
 the same day, December 13th, 1189. New- 
 court says he was surnamed Fitz-Neal, because

 account of the Chantries of St. Paul’s, calls him 
 Nigell. He died September 10th, 1198. 
 
 XLII. William de Sancta Maria, a 
 Norman, was chosen bishop Sept. 16, 1198.

 a canon-regular of St. Osith; and died March

 and Roger Niger de Bileye, was conse¬ 
 crated June 10th, 1229- His benefactions to 
 the fabric of the Church have been already 
 noticed in a former page. Stow calls him “ a 
 learned man, and of much worthinesse, a chanon 
 of St. Paul.” He died, according to his epitaph, 
 at Stepney, the 3d of the Kalends of October, 
 1241. 
 
 XLV. Fulk Basset was chosen bishop in 
 the month of December, 1241. He had pre¬ 
 viously been dean of York, and provost ot the

 crated in the church of St. Mary Overy, Febr. 15,

 “ As to the dignity of this office of Chancellor, 
 
 I find it thus recorded among the archives of 
 the Archbishop of Canterbury, at London, in the 
 Vicar-General’s office ‘ Cancellable S. Pauli

 erunt ab Eleutherio

 prajcipui,Faganus et 
 Dam ianus,ut Regem 
 pranlictum et populum sibi subditum ad Christiana! 
 fidei unitatem inclinarent, Templa, qure variis et 
 falsis diis dedicata fuerunt, ad honorem unius summi 
 et veri Dei consecrarent, et diversis ordinatorum 
 coetibus ordinarent. Ipsi quippe viri, sancto spiritu 
 veritatis edocti, tres sedes metropolilicas in tribus 
 nobilioribus tunc regni Britannige civitatibus, ad 
 laudem et honorem unius et trini Dei statuerunt, 
 
 quibus Episcopatus plurimos subdiderunt: prima 
 sedes London, erat, cui submissa est Loegria et 
 Cornubia, quas provincias Sabrina a Kambria id est 
 Wallia sejungit. Secunda sedes apud Eboracum, 
 cui submissa est Deyra, et Albania, id est Scotia, 
 quam magnum flumen llumbrite a Loegria secernit. 
 I ertia sedes erat in urbe Legionum, cui subjacebat 
 Kambria, quam Sabrina a Loegria sejungit. 
 
 Prima itaque sedes Londonia erat, qum metro-

 annis octo, ut antiquum vaticinium impleretur, 
 dicens sic; Iransmutatio sedium fiet, et dignitas

 viz. quia Tana Idolorutn destroii in eadem £ente 
 minime debeant; sed ipsa, qum in iis sunt, idala 
 destruantur, aqua, benedicta fiat, in iisdem Fanis 
 aspergatur, Altaria eonstruantur, Reliquim compo- 
 nantur: Quia si Fana eadem benii constructa sunt, 
 nccesse est ut a cultu Dremonum in obsequium veri 
 Dei debeant cominutari, ut dum gens ipsa eadem 
 Fana sua non-videt.destrui, de corde errorem de- 
 ponat, et Deuin verum cognoscens et adorans, ad 
 ]oca qum consuevit familiarids currat. Et quia 
 Boves solent in sacrificio Dtemonum multos occi- 
 dere, debet iis etiam hac de re aliqua solennitas 
 immutari, et die Dedications, vel natalitiis sanc¬ 
 torum marlyrum, quorum illic Reliquiae ponuntur, 
 tabernacula sibi circa easdem ecclesias, qum ex 
 Fanis commutata sunt, de ramis arborum faciant, 
 et religiosis conviviis solennitatem celebrent: nec 
 Diabolo jam animalia immolent, sed ad laudem 
 Dei in esu suo animalia occidant, et donatori om¬ 
 nium de satieiate sua gratias referant: et dum iis 
 aliqua extends gaudia reservantur, ad interioia 
 
 gaudia facilius coi^sentire valeant; nam duris men- 
 tibus simul omnia abscindere impossibile esse non 
 dubium est; quia et is, qui summum locum ascen- 
 dere nititur, gradibus vel passibus, non autem 
 saltibus elevatur. Sic Israelitico populo in iEgypto 
 Dominus siquidem innotuit; sed tamen iis sacri- 
 ficiorum usus, qum Diabolo solebat exbibere in 
 cultu proprio reservavit; ut iis in suo sacrificio 
 animalia immolarc prmciperet, quatenus cor mu- 
 tantes aliud de sacrificio amitterent, aliud retine- 
 rent; ut etsi ipsa essent animalia, qum consueverant 
 immolarc, vero tamen Deo hrec et non Idolis immo- 
 lantes jam sacrificia ipsa non essent. Hmc igitur 
 dilectionem tuam prmdicto fratri necesse est dicere, 
 ut ipse in prmsenti illic positus perpendat qualiter 
 omnia debeat dispensare. Deus te incolumem cus- 
 todiat, dilectissime fill. Datum die xv. kal. Juli- 
 arum, imperante Domino nostro Mauricio I iberio 
 piissimo Augusto, anno nonodecimo ; post consu- 
 latum ejusdem Domini nostri anno octavo deciino,

 A ita S. Erkenwaldi, LundoniEe Episcopi. 
 
 Ex praf. Cod. MS. B. f. 20. a. ac ex Cod. MS. in bibl. Cotton. Claudius A. V. 
 
 Post passionem et resurrectionem dominicam, 
 cum Catholica fides per orbem terrarum diffusa 
 esset, atque per suos athletas Dominus sparsim 
 semina vita; erogassel; sicut Davitici canitur in 
 hympnis, in omnera terrain exivit sonus eorum, et 
 in fines orbis terra; verba eorum. Tandem ad 
 usque cceli cacumen erecta Britannia occidentalis 
 advolarunt partibus, per beaturn Augustinum a 
 Gregorio Papa missum, qui primus tramitem tutd 
 docendo in Dorobernensis Ecclesia; sede, quasi solis 
 radius fulgere cepit: Mellitum igitur sancti certa- 
 nnnis commilitonem, partibus orientalium Saxonum, 
 a Cantia destinavit; quorum metropolis civitas 
 Lundonia super flumen Tamense posita est; in qua 
 iEthelbertus Hex, in honorem Doctoris gentium 
 Pauli Ecclesiam construxit, ubi Mellitus prtedictus 
 pontificali fungeretur officio. Igitur ad doctrinam 
 Melliti Episcopi, puerulus quidam, Erkenwaldus 
 nomine, concurrebat, tetate parvus, sed mente ma- 
 
 turus. Inter multa itaque alia legitur in historia 
 Anglorum, vita ejus vel conversatio iuisse tain 
 sanctissima, ut in interiore homine divitias gloria; 
 perscrutatus, caduca vel secularia cuncta postpo- 
 neret. 
 
 Habebat autem germanam Adleburgam nomine; 
 quam ita discipline coelestibus inflammaverat, ut 
 ipsa virgo vita et moribus, et conversatione sanc- 
 tissimS., per omnia Deo placere satageret. Pradictus 
 etenim vir Domini Erkenwaldus mtate temporum et 
 piobitate morum roboratus, polids elegit solitaria 
 antra, quam populanbus interesse curis : nam duo 
 praeclara Monasteria; unum sibi, alterum sorori 
 sute construxerat, quod utrumque regularibus dis¬ 
 ciplinis optimd instituerat. Sibi quidem in regione 
 Sutheria;, juxta fluvium Tamensem in loco qui 
 vocatur Ceroteseya, sorori autem in orientalium 
 Saxonum provincia, in loco qui vocatur Berchin- 
 gum, ubi et constituta est mater animarum.

 Contigit autem ut Episcopus Lundontc® sedis, 
 Cedde vocabulo, migravit ad Dominum, et untvers® 
 plebis vir Dei Erkenwaldus in Cathedra pontifical, 
 jublimatua est: popuiatibus igitur pouipis abre- 
 tiuntiatis, quicqiiid sermone docebat, operuin ex¬ 
 hibitions implere curabat: erat enim sapientia 
 perfectus, sermone inodestus, pervigil in oratiom- 
 bus, corpore castus, lectioni deditus, car.tat.s radice 
 plan talus. Post multa siquitlem iimninentis vita: 
 certamina, sanctus vir artubus corporis ccepil infir- 
 mari : prmcepit verb Feretrum caballarium prm- 
 parari, quo portaretur per vicos et civitales, verbum 
 Domini prmdicando; unde fertur per multa tem- 
 pora, hoc servatum esse a discipuiis, atque plurimi, 
 qualicunque dolore gravati essent, mox eo tacto 
 atque deosculato, ab infirmitate liberabantur : 
 vertlin eliam hastltl® ab eo absciss®, et ad mgrotos 
 allatar, citam eis salutem parabant: advenit ergo 
 tempus, quo talentum pretiosum ccelesli sacrario 
 conderetur, et pii patris manipuli ad horreum 
 dominicale reportarentur. 
 
 Quadam verb die, verbi Dei pabula, comtnisso 
 sibi gregi, ministraturus, dum duarum rotarutn fer- 
 retur vehiculo, infirmitate prapediente, vel sento, 
 contigit ut altera rotarum semitis difficultate axem 
 relinqueret, et ibidem socifi relicta remaneret. 
 Cumque diu rota reliqua, sola officii sui cursum 
 continuaret; ignorabant enim qui aderant, subttb 
 currus ex altera parte vacuus sustentamine cerni- 
 tur; cujus tamen cursus usu novo, imb insolito, 
 rairabiliter perficitur. O Deus mirabilis per omnia; 
 laudabilis super omnia, cui bruta sunt obnoxia 
 insensata obedientia; sed quoniam vir sanctus hu- 
 jus vita laudem fugiebat; dum teternte beatitu- 
 dinis fructum appetebat, remunerator ccelestis, servi 
 sui compensans merita, de valle lachrymarura, et 
 liujus vitas miseria vocat eum ad regna ccelestia: 
 quod ubi vir sanctse conversationis agnovit, voca- 
 tionem suam secretis suis familiaribus imminere 
 prsedixit. 
 
 Beatus verii pater Erchenwaldus, cum Dei dis- 
 positione Bercbingum veniret, infirmitate gravi 
 corripitur, qufi. vitam temporalem finivit: qui disso- 
 lutionem sui corporis imminere prrenoscens, con- 
 vocat filios suos, ac salubri admonitione omnes 
 instruxit; suaque benedictione Deo commendavit; 
 sicque inter manus illorum spiritum exhalavit: in 
 cujus transitu, tarn mirS. suavissimi odoris flagran- 
 tia, cellulam ubi ipse jacebat implevit, ac si ipsa 
 domus tota perfunderetur balsamo. 
 
 Audientes verb Canonici LundonitE, et monachi 
 Certeseyae, sanctum Dei virum, scilicet de hoc 
 mundo transisse, illuc confestim venerunt, ut secum 
 corpus inde tollerent. Quod videntes sanctimo- 
 
 niales, illos scilicet sancti viri corpus inde velle 
 transferre, constanter restiterunt, affiruiantes dignis- 
 sime illic sanctum corpus humandum, quia fundator 
 ac pater loci ipsius exliterat; et de hac causa 
 corpus ejus habere volebant. E contrario, monachi 
 Certeseym responderunt, dicentes; ‘Nobis extitit 
 Abbas, noster erit jam defunctus, et ideo hue veni- 
 mus, ut ejus corpus nobiscum hinc tollamus: 
 scimus enim eum vestram ecclesiam fundavisse; 
 sed tamen prills noster ccenobii fundator extitit; 
 insuper et nos ibi constituit; ac deinde Abbas 
 noster, Deo volente, factus est.’ Turn verb clerus 
 ac populus urbis Lundonise, indignantes de tali 
 certamine, ex abrupto ad utrosque responderunt, 
 dicentes; ‘ Frustra contenditis; quia nec vos ilium 
 habebitis, nec justum est ut eum habeatis: veruni 
 si mos antiquitbs servatur institutus, in urbe, qua 
 praasul ordinatus est, imb de urbe Romulea desti- 
 natus, Deo jubente, sepulchrum habebit. 
 
 Interea, dum ha?c dicerentur, plebs certatim ac* 
 currit Lundoniae, ac Deo annuente sui pontificis 
 corpus inde secum suslulere. Condolentes verb 
 monachi, verbm etiam et sanctimoniales, de beati 
 viri corpore sibi sublato, plorando, beati viri corpus 
 persecuntur ejulantes. Exeuntibus ill is de cceno-* 
 bio, facta est tempestas maxima, videlicet de pluvia 
 et vento ad declarandum viri raeritum, ita ut vix 
 aliquis sufferre posset: nec mirum fuit si cerei 
 ardentes, qui circa beati viri corpus eranl appositi, 
 in tali tempestate fuissent extincti. Sequentes igitur 
 sanctissimum corpus in hujusmodi tempestate, ad 
 fluvium usque venerunt, nomine Hyla b , ubi sine 
 dubio transire putabant: sed cum illuc venissent, 
 invenerunt ipsum fluvium, de seipso tarn magnum 
 atque profundum, qui de silvaticis fluviis ita crevisse 
 ac superhabundasse, ut si quis hunc transire volu* 
 isset, nullo modo absque navis adminiculo transire 
 potuisset: semita nusquam ibi inveniebatur aliqua: 
 navis etiam nulla vel pons ibi aderat, per quern 
 aliquis ultra ire posset. Cumque monachi, simul 
 et sanctimoniales, hoc vidissent, exclamaverunt, 
 dicentes; ‘ Eya, Eya nunc apparet injuria quam 
 nobis intulistis de sanctissimi viri corpore. Dicunt 
 etiam et sanctimoniales; ‘Verb per hanc nimiam 
 aquee inundationem demonstrat hie Dominus, quo 
 in loco ipse disposuerat ut requicscat vir iste tumu- 
 landus: quare vobis summopere curandum est, ut 
 ab isto vestro proposito citissimb redeatis, et corpus 
 ad locum, sibi a Deo destinatum, referatis, ne 
 propter importunitatem et concupiscentiam nos- 
 tram, Deum offendentes, et incomparabile dampnum 
 incurratis: nam idcirco ad nos ilium adhuc in 
 came viventem, atque multis nos exhortationibus 
 spiritualiter corroborantem misit Dominus Deus,

 ut nos saltern post ejus transituni celeberrimum, 
 aique sanctissimum ejus corpus haberemus. Sed 
 vos quidem, Deum nil metuentes, cum summa 
 violentia loca nostra, veluti pervasores crudeliter 
 introistis; et ut lupi famelici caulas gregum irrum- 
 pentes, quajrendo, rapiendo, laniando quoscunque 
 invenire possent, inventasque devorando consumunt; 
 et hie saviendo et minitando nos invasistis; insuper 
 et basilicam vestram de tali ac tanto viro exspo- 
 liastis: quamobrem judicet Deus omnipotens inter 
 nos et vos. 
 
 * Audientes verb hoc cives Lundonias, responde- 
 runt b contra, tali effamine; Diu quidem quod 
 satis paiienter opprobria et convitia vestra susti- 
 nuimus, nihil vobis b contra objicientes ; sed unum 
 pro certo habeatis, et ne diutibs credere differatis; 
 quia nec vos, ut supra diximus, eum habebitis; 
 nec nos unquam a proposito nostro alicujus metu 
 flecti videbitis, neque dampnum aliquod inde nobis 
 evenire gaudebitis. Adhuc autem volumus, et vos 
 scire nos non quasi lupos, sed sicut viros fortes et 
 strenuos per medias acies bellatorum, non segniter 
 irrumpere, et veruin etiam urbes munitissimas armis 
 et gentibus debellare, subruere, atque subvertere, 
 antequam Dei servum et patronum nostrum amit- 
 tamus : quia certb per eum nos et omnis populus 
 Lundoniensis, cum omnibus suis provincialibus, 
 insuper et Ecclesia metropolitana quam ipsejustb 
 et sancte longo rexit tempore, Deo miserante, ipso- 
 que patrocinante, ab inimicorum nostrorum insidiis, 
 prjesentibus scilicet et futuris, credimus et confi- 
 dimus potenter nos eripi atque salvari: ideoque et 
 nos ipsi volumus ut de tali patrono corroboretur et 
 honoretur tarn gloriosa civitas, talisque eonventus.’ 
 
 Interea, cum universa multitudo tumultuaretur 
 pro thesauro sacro sancti corporis obtinendo, qui- 
 dam vir religiosus et eruditus, in disciplinatu ipsius 
 Ponlificis, sancto spiritu plenus, in eminentem locum 
 ascendit et hujuscemodi sermonem, facto silentio, 
 exorsus est. * Voluntas vestra laudabilis est, ac 
 omnipotenti Deo acceptibilis; videlicet quod guber- 
 natorem animarum vestrarum, penes vos habere 
 nitimini: casterum nimis a regula veritatis exorbi- 
 tatis, qui hoc sanctum opus simultate ac odio 
 aggredimini: scriptum est enim, quoniam caritas 
 legis est plenitudo, et qui in uno ofiendit id est 
 in caritate, omnium reus est: si vos ergo estis 
 discordes ac rixantes, quomodo Deus holocostomata 
 precum vestrarum suscipiet, cum ipsum offende- 
 
 ritis: quippe, sicut sacra pagina testatur, Deus 
 caritas est; quapropter unitatem caritatis unanimes 
 servate, et flexis genibus creatorem universitatis 
 implorate, quatenus revelare dignetur, ubi reliquias 
 sui preciosi Confessoris, nostrique patroni collocari 
 velit.’ 
 
 Huic exhortatorim praedicationi omnes assensum 
 voluntarib adhibuerunt; Clerus Letaniam et Psal- 
 modiam gemebundus prrecinnivit; turba verb utri- 
 usque sexus pusilli et majores se in terram prostra- 
 verunt, et gemitibus ac lacrymis Dei misericordiam 
 imploraverunt, ut indicio alicujus signi tantam 
 litem et seditionem divinitus dirimeret, ut Psal- 
 mista perhibet; propb est dominus omnibus invo- 
 cantibus eum in veritate, et deprecationem eorum 
 exaudiet: nain dum proni orationibus unanimiter 
 insudarent, unda fluminis se divisit, et vestigiis 
 illorum siccum iter preebuit, uti quondam fluenta 
 Jordanis siccata sunt, cum filii Israel terram pro- 
 missionis ingrederentur, vel cum Helias in came in 
 requiem intronizandus, siccis pedibus transmeavit. 
 Quod cum vidissent jubilantes et Deum glorifi- 
 cantes, elevato Feretro cum magnS. reverentia et 
 concordia transierunt, et usque ad flumen quod 
 nuncupatur Stratford, iter fecerunt. 
 
 Hie statuerunt paulisper pausare, quoniam locus 
 amoenus erat, viriditate florigera vestitus, donee 
 plebs aliquantisper praecederet; en iterate Deus 
 gloriosus in Sanctis suis, miraculum ostendit nequa- 
 quam praetereundum: etenim dum nimbosa tem- 
 pestas sopita esset, et pluviosaj nubes rarescerent 
 ac decrescerent, ac solis radii rutilantes calorem 
 generarent, cerei circa libitinam ccelitus illuminati 
 sunt: qumsitum est ilico quisnamne ministerium 
 ignis adhibuisset: cum verb cognovissent divina 
 potentia actum esse, multb magis tripudiantes et 
 exultantes, Domini majestatem collaudaverunt et 
 glorificaverunt; et consurgentes, ad eivitatem Lun- 
 doniensem tetenderunt. Cum autem didicissent, 
 qui erant in civitate, adventum sancti Praesulis, et 
 exierunt obviam ei cum hymnis et canticis enar- 
 rabiliter collffitantes, quod locus suus exequiis tarn 
 venerandi pastoris sublimatus sit. Quotquot autem 
 gestatorium sancti viri tetegerunt, a quacunque 
 infirmitate vexabantur, liberati sunt; et cotidib ad 
 tumbam ejus sanitas aegrotis, recto corde peten- 
 tibus, exhibetur, et prostante Domino nostro Jesu

 Carta Regis Athelstani, de Terris apud Sandon, Rode, Ardeleage, Luefenhale, 
 Bylcham, Wicham, Tidwoldintune, Rujiwelle, Eadulfesnesse, Draitune, 
 Berne, Neosdune et Willesdone. 
 
 Ex praf. Cod. MS. B. f. 20. a. Ac ex Libro piloso, f. 38. b. 
 
 In nomine Domini nostri Jesu Christi Salvatoris, 
 ea quae secundum legem salubriter diffiniuntur, licet 
 solus sermo sufficeret, tamen pro evitanda futuri 
 temporis ambiguitate, fidelissimis scripturis et docu¬ 
 ments sunt commendanda: quamobrem ego 
 iEthelstanus Rex Anglorum, pro aeternae retribu- 
 tionis spe, et relaxatione peccatorum meorum, ad 
 laudein Domini nominis, et ad honorem S. Pauli 
 Apostoli, et gentium doctoris, regali auctoritate re- 
 novavi atque restauravi libertatem ad Monasterium 
 ipsius statutum in Londonia civitate ubi diu Sanctus 
 Erkenwaldus Episcopatum tenuit; qui etiam pro- 
 pensius in monasterii studens proficuo, illud privi- 
 legium quod hactenus in praifato habetur monasterio 
 in Romulea urbe petebat; aliaque quam plurima 
 privilegia, qua; nostri antecessores pro redemptione 
 animarum suarum, et pro coelestis regni desiderio 
 constituerunt, in illo monasterio scripta continentur. 
 Hffic est interim ilia libertas, quam ut perpetualiter 
 in siepedicto monasterio permaneat, animo libenti 
 constituo, id est, decern mansas ad Sandonam, cum 
 Rode; et octo ad Ardeleage' cum Luffenhaele; et 
 decern ad Bylcham, cum Wicham ; et octo ad Tid- 
 wolditune®; et duodecem ad Runawella; et tri- 
 ginta ad Eadulfesnesa; et decern ad Draitune; et 
 octo ad Berne ; et decern ad Neosdune, cum Willes- 
 dune. Hanc ergo libertatem pro petitione et am- 
 monitione venerabilis Episcopi Theodorici, qui tunc 
 temporis eidem monasterio praefuit, placabili mentis 
 
 devotione, dictare, scribere, commendare procuravi. 
 Si quis verb, quod non optamus, hujus decreti adver- 
 sitatem infringere temptaverit, aut aliter quam a 
 nobis statutum, mutare prassumpserit, sit a consortio 
 Domini nostri Jesu Christi segregatus, et cum lupis 
 rapacibus ponatur, et ejus ligaturis se constrictum 
 sciat, cui Christus claves ccelestis regni comrnen- 
 dans, ait, ‘ Tu es Petrus, et super hanc petram 
 adificabo Ecclesiam meam, et tibi dabo claves regni 
 ccelorum; et quodcunque ligaveris super terrain, erit 
 ligatum et in coelis.’ 
 
 Denique adhuc, pro ampliori firmitatis testamento 
 omnimodo prajcipimus, atq; preecipiendo obsecra- 
 mus, ut maneat ista libertas insolubiliter ab omni 
 seculari servitio, cum omnibus per circuitum ad se 
 ritb pertinentibus, campis, pratis, pascuis, silvis, 
 rivulis; tribus exceptis, Expeditione, Pontis, Arcis- 
 que constructione, et Exercitu. Idcirco verb hujus 
 donationis munificentiam, tarn firmiter atque imnio- 
 biliter iraperamus, quia per hoc a Domino ccelestem 
 beatitudinem accipere speramus ; illo annuente cui 
 est honor, et potestas, et imperium per infinita 
 seculorum secula. Deinde hujus decreti consentiens, 
 testis fuit Adelgarus Archipraesul, et Oskitel Me- 
 tropolitanus Eburacensis Ecclesim ; et iElfstanus 
 Lundoniensis Episcopus, et Adulf Herefordensis 
 basilicas Episcopus, et iElfere dux, et Brithnoth 
 dux ; et iElfric Abbas, et iElstan Abbas, et alii 
 multi.

 In sancto nomine nostri Servatoris Christi,qui nos 
 creavit, quando nosmet ipsi non eramus, et nos 
 redemit cum sua propria vita, quando perditi 
 fuimus ex Diaboli doctrina, et penitus damnati in 
 sternum sulphur: sed ejus magna dementia nos 
 jiberavit ab eo. Nunc ego Athelstanus Rex super 
 Anglicam gentem, notum facio meis sapientibus, et 
 in hoc scripto verbis confirmo; quod liberabo omnem 
 terram ad S. Pauli Monasterium (spectantem :) et 
 insuper constituam istud privilegium; hoc est, sin- 
 gularem immunitatem, in laudem S. Pauli, illius 
 Sancti Apostoli, cui hie locus est sacratus; in 
 animai meae redemptionem, et peccatorum meorum 
 remissionem, secundum quod Sebba Rex eundem 
 (locum) prim6 liberavit, etS. Erkenwaldus; quorum 
 ambo e6 se contulerunt, omuino Deo inservierunt 
 et ilium locum locupletarunt, inagnusq; ille Epis- 
 
 copus S. Erkenwaldus, illud privilegium impetravit 
 Roms quod in hac Charta scribitur : et plura alia 
 privilegia hie inscribuntur, qus mei prasdecessores 
 irrogarunt in animarum suarum redemptionem. 
 Qui hoc privilegium adauxerit, Deus ejus vitam 
 in hoc raundo (conservet) et ei coelorum regni 
 gaudia concedat, quando hinc decesserit. Qui verb 
 quid illinc abstulerit, sive inalium usum converterit, 
 aliter (scilicet) quam hie suprascriptum est; sit ejus 
 vita hie decurtata ; et quando hinc decesserit, sem¬ 
 per sit ejus habitatio in Inferni fundo, nisi id hie 
 ante finem suum diligentids compenset apud ster¬ 
 num Deum, qui omnium rerum habet potestatem. 
 Idcirco tarn firmiter hoc privilegium (observari) 
 praecipimus, ut ita nos omnes denuo possimus simul 
 coelorum regni gaudia assequi cum aeterno Deo, qui 
 omnium rerum habet potestatem, Amen.

 ambiguitatem fidelissimis scripturis et documentis 
 sacris sunt commendanda. Quamobrem ego Ead- 
 wardus Rex Anglorum pro ®tern® retributionis 
 spe, et relaxatione peccaminum meorurn, ad laudem 
 regis ®terni, et ad honorem S. Pauli Apostoli, gen¬ 
 tium Doctoris, regali authoritate renovavi, atque 
 restauravi libertatem ad monasterium ipsius sta- 
 tutum in Lundonia civitate, ubi diu Sanctus Erken- 
 waldus Episcopatum tenuit. H®c est enim libertas 
 ilia, quam ut ®ternaliter in supradicto monasterio 
 permaneat, anirno libenti constituo; id est octo 
 mansas ad Berlings, et quinque ad Cingeford. Hanc 
 ego libertatem pro petilione et ammonitione vene- 
 rabilis Episcopi Erkenwaldi, qui tunc temporis 
 eidem monasterio pr®fuit, placabili mentis devo- 
 
 tione, dictare, scribere, commendare procuravi. 
 Denique adbuc, pro ampliori firmitatis testamento 
 omnimodo pr®cipimus, atque pr®cipiendo obsecra- 
 mus, ut maneat ista libertas, quam pr®fatus Erken- 
 waldus Episcopus in Romulea urbe h venerabili 
 Papa Agatho petebat, insolubiliter ab omni hu¬ 
 man® servitutis jugo, cum omnibus per circuitum 
 ad illud monasterium ritb pertinentibus, tribus so- 
 lummodo exceptis, Expeditione, Pontis arcisque 
 constructione, et Excercitu. Si quis verb, quod 
 non optamus, hujus Decreti aniraadversitatem in- 
 fringere temptaverit, aut aliter quam a nobis sta- 
 tutum est mutare pr®sumpserit, sit a consortio 
 Domini nostri Jesu Christi segregatus, et cum 
 rapacibus ponatur, et cum nefandissimo Juda, qui 
 Christum tradidit, infernales imperpetuum luat 
 pcenas, si ad satisfactionem et emendationem non 
 venerit.

 status fuit optimus, fuerint in alicujus Regis diebus

 possint, et ipsimet voluerint. Et non permittam, 
 ut aliquis in aliquo eos vexet.

 Constitutiones Lanfranci Cantuariensis Archiepiscopi. 
 
 Ex vet. Codice MS. in publics Bibl. Academia Cantab. 
 
 Anno incarnationis Dominic® MLXXV. reg- 
 nante glorioso Anglorum Rege Willelmo, Anno 
 regni ejus IX. congregatum est Lundoniis, in 
 Ecclesia beati Pauli Apostoli concilium Anglic® 
 regionis; Episcoporum videlicet, et Abbatum, nec 
 non et mulfcarum religiosi ordinis personarum, 
 Lanfranco Sanct® Dorobernensis Ecclesi® Archi- 
 
 presule, totiusque Britannic® insula; Primate ; con- 
 sidentibus secum viris veneiabihbus, Thoma Ebo- 
 racensi Archiepiscopo, Y\ illelmo Londoniensi 
 Episcopo, Wulstano Wyricestrensi, et aliis XI. 
 Quia retro multis annis in Anglico regno usus Con- 
 ciliorum obsoleverat, renovata sunt nonnulla qu® 
 antiquis etiam canonibus noscuntur definita. 
 
 Qualiter sit sedendum Episcopis. 
 
 Ex concilio igitur Toletano quarto, Milevitano 
 atque Bracarensi statutum est, ut singuli secundvim 
 ordinationis su® tempora sedeant, pr®ter eos qui 
 
 ex antiqua consuetudine, sive suarum Ecclesiarum 
 privileges, digniores sedes habent. 
 
 Contra Pi'oprietarios Monachos. 
 
 Et tunc decretum est etiam ex regula beati Bene¬ 
 dict in dialogo Gregorii generaliter omnes Monachi, 
 nisi a pr®latis concessa, proprietate careant. 
 
 Siquis verd aliquid proprii, sine prafata licentia 
 habere, in morte fuerit deprehensus; nec ante mor¬ 
 
 tem id reddidit cum penitencia et dolore, peccatum 
 suum confessus; nec signa pro eo pulsenlur, nec 
 salutaris pro ejus absolutione hostia immoletur, nec 
 in cimiterio sepeliatur. 
 
 • Sir William Dugdale, in his Extracts from Domesday, here introduced in the former editions the following passage. It certainly 
 does not appear in the original Survey under Berlikga, and bears no internal evidence of belonging to any of the possessions 
 held by the Canons of St. Paul's. 
 
 “ Sunt in dominio cccciv. acr® terr® arabilis district® per tres seysones, et possunt coli cum tribus carucis, et valet communitcr 
 acra vi. den. per annum. Item sunt ibidem xvrir. acr® qu® aliquando seminantur, et aliqu indo jacent ad pasturam, et valet 
 acra vm. den. per annum. Item c. acr® de marisco, et valet acra communiter per annum in den. Et pascunt in mansco et terris 
 susseinis, ccc. oves cum hurtardis. Et respondet molendinum qualibet septimana de uno bussello bladi libere. Et possunt sus- 
 tentari ibidem sex vacc®, et valet exitus cujuslibet per annum ix. s.”

 De Matrimonio. 
 
 Decretum est etiam, ex decretis majoris Gregorii, 
 nee non minoris; ut nuilus de propria cognatione 
 vel uxoris defuncta seu quam cognatus habuit, 
 
 uxorem accipiat, quoadusque parentela ex alterutra 
 parte ad septimum gradum perveniat. 
 
 Contra Simoniacos. 
 
 Item ut nuilus sacros ordines seu officium Eccle- 
 siasticura, quod ad curam animarum pertinent, emat 
 vel vendat. PIoc enim scelus a Petro Apostolo 
 
 in Simone Mago primitits dampnatum est. Pos- 
 tea a Sanctis patribus vctituin et excommuni- 
 catum. 
 
 Contra Sortilcgia. 
 
 Nec ossa mortuorum animalium, quasi pro vitanda 
 animalium peste, alicubi suspendantur, nec sortes; 
 vel aruspicia, seu divinationes, vel aliqua hujusmodi 
 
 opera Diaboli ab aliquo exerceantur. Hac enim 
 omnia sacri canones prohibuerunt, et eos qui talia 
 exercent, data sententia, excommunicaverunt. 
 
 Contra judicium Sanguinis. 
 
 Iterum ut nuilus Episcopus vel Abbas, seu qui- 
 libet ex clero, hominem occidendum vel membris 
 truncandum judicet: vel judicantibus sua auctori- 
 tatis favorem commodet. Hoc sancitum atque 
 
 confirmatum est coram duobus Archiepiscopis et 
 XII. Episcopis et Aschenillo archidiacono Doro- 
 bernensis Ecclesim, et XXI. abbatibus de Archi- 
 presulatu Cantuai - . 
 
 Dc subjectione Eborac. 
 
 In illis temporibus diversis auctorilatibus pro- 
 batuin atque ostensum est quod Eboracensis Ec- 
 clesia Cantuariensi Ecclesim debeat subjacere. 
 
 ejusque Archiepiscopi ut Primatis tocius Britannia

 nem pertinent in omnibus obedire.

 Scotia, sub regimine Eboracensis Ecclesia affirma- 
 verunt, professionem cum sacramento verb, ob 
 amorem Regis, Eboracensi Archiepiscopo Thoma

 Carta Regis Willielmi Conquestoris, de Libertatibus Ecclesiis restitutis, et Ecclesiasticis 
 
 personis. 
 
 Ex Cod. MS. penbs praf. D. et Cap. not. A. f. 1. a. 
 
 W. Dei gratia Rex Anglorum, R. Bainardo, et 
 G. de Magnavilla et P. de Valoines, caeterisque 
 meis fidelibus de Essex, et Hertfordschire, et de 
 Middelsex salutem. Sciatis vos omnes, et caeteri 
 mei fideles qui in Anglia manent, quod Episcopales 
 leges, qu£E non bent;, nec secundbm sanctorum 
 Canonum priecepta, usque ad mea tempora in regno 
 Anglorum fuerunt, communi concilio, et concilio 
 Archiepiscoporum, et Episcoporum, et Abbatum, et 
 omnium principum Regni mei emendandas judicavi. 
 Propterea mando, et regia, auctoritate prascipio ut 
 nullus Episcopus, vel Archidiaconus de Legibus 
 episcopalibus amplibs in Hundret placita teneant, 
 nec causam, quie ad regimen animarum pertinet, ad 
 judicium secularium bominum adducant: sed qui- 
 cunque secundum episcopales leges, de quacunque 
 causa vel culpa interpellatus fuerit, ad locum quern 
 ad hoc Episcopus elegerit et nominaverit, veniat, 
 ibique de causa vel culpa sua respondeat, et non 
 
 secundum Hundret, sed secundum Canones et epis¬ 
 copales Leges, et rectum Deo et Episcopo suo 
 faciat. Si verb aliquis, per superbiam elatus ad 
 Justiciain episcopalem venire contempserit, et no- 
 luerit, vocetur semel, et secundb et tertib: quod si 
 nec sic ad emendationem venerit, excommunicetur ; 
 et si opus fuerit ad hoc vindicandum, fortitudo et 
 justicia Regis vel Vicecomitis adhibeatur: ille 
 autem qui vocatus ad justiciam Episcopi venire 
 noluerit, pro unaquaque vocatione legem episco¬ 
 palem emendabit. Hoc etiam defendo, et mea 
 auctoritate interdico, ne ullus Vicecomes aut Pra> 
 positus, seu Minister Regis, nec aliquis laicus homo, 
 de legibus qum ad Episcopum pertinent, se intro- 
 mittat; nec aliquis laicus homo alium hominem 
 sine justicia Episcopi ad judicium adducat: judi¬ 
 cium verb in nullo loco portetur nisi in episcopali 
 sede, aut in illo loco, quern Episcopus ad hoc con- 
 struerit.

 De Dignitate Episcopi. 
 
 Ex Cod. MS. penis 
 
 Dignitas Episcopi est in Choro, Capitulo, et in 
 omnibus locis supra omnes Canonicos et Ecclesi® 
 ministros, in exhibitione honoris habere preminan- 
 tiam. Quotiens aulem Episcopus de transmarinis 
 pardbus venerit, oceurrent ei in occidentali ostio 
 Ecclesi®, capis sericis induti, Decanus et totus 
 chorus; pulsatisque in ipsius adventu campanis, 
 honorific^ suscipient eum, Decanus a dextris et 
 
 iVill. Pierpont Arm. 
 
 major persona post eum a sinistris, deducentes eum 
 cum Processione usque ad Altare, canente choro Re- 
 sponsorium “ Sancte Paule, Apostole;” quod etiam 
 fiet in primo adventu post consecradonera, si alibi 
 fuerit consecratus: et in primo adventu suo ad 
 visitationem, et durante Episcopo ante Altare pro- 
 strato. Pieces et oralio sequentes. 
 
 Ordo ad recipiendum Episcopum. 
 
 In pritnis fiat Processio ad ostium occidentale 
 Ecclesim; et ibidem Episcopo asperso cum aqua 
 benedicta, et eo incensato, ducatur cum Processione 
 ad magnum Altare; et eo prostrato, dicat major de 
 Choro prasens v» “ Salvum fac servum tuum Epis¬ 
 copum nostrum; mitte ei auxilium de Sancto; 
 Domine exaudi orationem meam ; Dominus vobis- 
 com ; Oremus.” 
 
 “ Concede qussumus Domine famulo luo N. 
 Episcopo nostro, ut pradicando et exercendo qufe 
 recta sunt, exemplo bonorum operum animas suorum 
 instruat subditorum, et mtern® remunerationis mer- 
 cedem a te piissimo Pastore percipiat, per, &c.” 
 Alias in ipsius adventu duntaxat fit pulsatio cam- 
 panarum sine Processione. 
 
 Idem verb Episcopus, diebus Natalis domini, 
 Paschse, Ascensionis, Pentecostes; in festis etiam 
 beati Pauli, beati Erkenwaldi; diebus etiam Cine- 
 rum, et Ccenre, si commode poterit, in Ecclesia 
 sua ministrare tenetur; et obladones tunc ad manus 
 suas proveuientes, largiri potest, prater Jicentiam 
 ebdomadariorum, secundum arbitrium sum volun¬ 
 tatis : reliquis verb temporibus et diebus, sive in 
 officio solempni sive in exequiis defunctorum mi- 
 nistret in Altari majori, et obladones percipiat, 
 ebdomadariis non prajudicat prasentia Episcopi. 
 Et quotienscunque officium suum executurus est 
 Episcopus in Ecclesia, in festis majoribus; De¬ 
 canus a dextris, et sublimior persona post Decanum, 
 
 a sinistris, vel eo absente alii duo majores person® 
 assistent Episcopo, deducentes eum de Vestiario ad 
 Altare, vel ad sedem cathedralem. Similiter fa- 
 ciant quando iturus est ad incensandum Altare, dum 
 Magnificat et Benedictus cantantur; et ita dedu- 
 cetur in omni Processione majorum Festorum. 
 
 Et cum Episcopus majus Altare incensaverit, 
 revertetur in stallum suum vel cathedram, et ipsi 
 qui deduxerunt eum ibunt ad Altaria incensanda, et 
 redeuntes ad Episcopum thurificabunt eum in stallo 
 suo: Alias autem, sive fuerit in stallo Cathedrali, 
 sive in Choro, cum Chorus fuerit incensandus ad 
 Matutinas et ad Vesperas, per Capellanum ebdoma- 
 darium incensabitur; ad Missam verb per Diaconum 
 in Altari ministrantem. Et quotiens ministrat ad 
 Vesperas vel Matutinas, pontificalibus indutus, stare 
 debent ante eum, vel eum pracedere, duo pueri 
 ornati, duos cereos accensos bajulantes. Prasente 
 insuper Episcopo in suo Cathedrali, seu etiam 
 Decani stallo, cum alius in majori Altari celebra- 
 verit, Benedictiones ab Episcopo petentur, qum i 
 sacerdote peterentur, si absens esset Episcopus; et 
 Textus Evangeliorum, quociens osculandus fuerit, 
 sibi primo exhiberi debet, et Pacis osculum per 
 Decanum vel alium majorem prasentem primitus 
 deferetur: et si Aqua benedicta fuerit spergenda, 
 postquam Altaria conspersa fuerint, tradetur ei as- 
 persorium, et seipsum et majores aspergat. 
 
 Item quotiens in ejus prasentia celebraverit, alius

 dicat Confiteor ad gradus Altaris: et cum in majori 
 sede sua Collectam, vel Capitula dicturus est, vel 
 lectionem lecturus, Cancellarius, si pr®sens est, 
 ministrabit ei librum sustentando. Cum autem fuerit 
 in stallo suo, vel in Cboro in stallo Decani, tarn 
 Decanus qubm omnes alii majores et minores, in- 
 gredientes chorum vel egredientes, ad Episcopum 
 xeverenter inclinare debent. Ipse quidem, tarn xxx 
 Praebendas majores, quam dignitates omnes seu 
 personatus, pr®ter Decanatum, cum vacaverint, pro 
 voluntate sua cui vult assignat; et literas suas 
 Decano et Capitulo mittit super stallo in choro, et 
 loco in capitulo, cuicunque personatum /el Pr®- 
 bendam contulerit assignandis. Praficit etiam Pe- 
 nitentiarium et custodem veteri fabric®, et Capella- 
 
 num Capell® su® propri®. Confert etiam unam 
 Cantariam de provisione Eustachii Episcopi, ad 
 Altare S. Michaelis ordinatam; ac unam libera- 
 tionem panis et cervisi® ad opus scriptoris et liga- 
 toris librorum Ecclesi® deputatam. Confert insuper 
 domos in atrio S. Pauli, dignitatibus et prabendis 
 annexas; et unam domum qu® solet spectare ad 
 fabricam in angulo versus Bracinum: qu® domus 
 omnes et singul® vacantes, esse debent in custodia 
 Decani et Capituli. Item etiam Episcopus omnes 
 quos beneficiat in Pr®bendis, digrlitatibus, alta- 
 ribus et domibus, inittet cum suis literis ad Deca- 
 num et Capitulum instituendos, vel inducendos in 
 possessionem, excepto Capellano Capell® su®. 
 
 De Personis principalibus post Episcopum per ordinem. 
 
 H/e sunt person® principales per ordinem in Essexi®, Archidiaconus Middlesexi®; Archidia- 
 Ecclesia Londoniensi sub Episcopo constitut®; conus Colcestri®; Thesaurarius; Pr®centor; et 
 Decanus; Archidiaconus Londini; Archidiaconus Cancellarius. 
 
 De Creatione Decani. 
 
 Decanus 6iquidem sic creatur. Quotiens De¬ 
 canatum vacare contigerit, Capitulum vacationem 
 ipsam Episcopo literatorie denuncient, et non petita 
 ab eo licentia eligendi Decanum, convocari debent 
 omnes Canonici, tarn dignitate praditi, quam alii 
 in Anglia commorantes, ut certo die in Capitulo 
 conveniant Decanum electuri: liter® verb diri- 
 gend® fratribus convocandis, traduntur in Choro 
 per Camerarium suis Vicariis, ut eas dominis suis 
 transmittant, vel ponuntur in stallis Canonicorum, 
 et alio modo non vocantur fratres absentes pro quo- 
 cunque negotio communiter tractando. Celebrata, 
 verb in formB CanonicB electione Decani, pr®sen- 
 tari debet Episcopo electus; et electione de ipso 
 facta, ut ipsam examinatam confirmet, nisi obstet 
 Canonicum impedimentum ; et cum fuerit confir- 
 mata, Episcopus si pr®sens est, cum Canonicis qui 
 affuerint, electum ad Altare deducet, “ Te Deum” 
 solempniter decantando; ipso siquidcm electo ante 
 magnum Altare inclinato, et orante; Episcopus, 
 finitis “ Te Deum et oratione Dominica,” pronu n- 
 ciet “ Et ne nos,” &c. subjungens “ Salvum fac 
 servum. tuum Domine, Esto ei turris fortitudinis; 
 Nichil proficiet inimicus ; Domine Deus virtutum : 
 Domine exaudi orationem meam: Dominus vobis- 
 cum : Oremus. 
 
 “ Miserere qu®sumus Domine famulo tuo N. et 
 dirige eum secundum tuam clementiam in viam 
 salutis ®tern®, ut te donante tibi placita cupiat; et 
 qu® tibi placita sunt tota dilectione perficiat, per 
 Christum, &c.” 
 
 Tunc surgat electus a prostratione, et osculetur 
 
 Altare : deinde ducatur ad stallum et installetur ab 
 Episcopo, si pr®sens fuerit; vel per alium cui ipse 
 commiserit. Si verb Decanus alibi fuerit confir- 
 matus, remittetur cum literis Episcopi ad Capitulum 
 installandus; et die installations occurrit ei Capi¬ 
 tulum, cum ministrb Ecclesi® in occidental! ostio 
 Ecclesi® cum solempni Processione, ut pr®dictum est 
 de Episcopo, et cum Responsorio “ Sancte Paule,” 
 solempniter decantando, ad majus Altare deduci 
 debet, coraitantibus hinc inde majoribus pr®sen- 
 tibus usque in finem Processionis ubi diclis super 
 eum precibus et oratione supradictis ; et osculate 
 Altari dicitur, ad stallum suurn, installetur a majore 
 pr®sente; dicente, u Dominus custodiat introitum 
 tuum et exitum tuum, ex hoc nunc et usque in 
 seculum.” Tunc Decanus prostratus in stallo suo, 
 ad orationem, subjungat installatus dicta oratione 
 dominica, “ Et ne nos, &c.” ut supra, “ Oremus. 
 
 “ Deus omnipotens officiorum dispositor, et hono- 
 rum omnium distributor, qui ad gubernandas Ec- 
 clesias diversorum graduum dignitates institui volu- 
 isti, devotis mentibus te suppliciter exoramus, ut 
 hunc famulum tuum N. ad regimen Decanatus hujus 
 Ecclesi® deputatura, protectionis tu® gratia munire 
 digneris; eique spiritus sanctus ccelestium charis- 
 matum divisor assistat; ut sicut Doctor gentium 
 Paulus instituit, proficiant ei honoris augmenta, ad 
 incrementa meritorum, sit exemplum et forma jus- 
 tici® ad gubernandum fideliter ministerium sibi 
 deputatum; sicque sibi commissos regere concedas' 
 ut cum vel omnibus regnum promereatur ®ternum, 
 per Christum dominjim nostrum. Amen."

 Deinde ducatur in Capitulum, et in sede sua col-

 quod jura et libertates ipsius Ecclesia? tuebitur; 
 quod approbatas et approbandas Ecclesite consuetu-

 possessiones Ecclesia? inventa servabit, et alienata 
 pro viribus revocabit: quo facto omnes fratres et 
 
 ministri, si Decanus voluerit, tam majores quam 
 minores, promittunt ei canonicam obedientiam, tan- 
 quam Decano; Majores stantes in loco suo, et 
 dicendo; “ Domine Decane, promitto tibi canoni- 
 cam obedientiam, tanquam Decano.” Ipse autem 
 Decanus post confirmationem suam expeditam, 
 jurat Episcopo canonicam obedientiam, Sec. 
 
 T)e Officio Decani. 
 
 Ex alio Codice MS. penes prajfat. W. Pierpont Arm. 
 
 Decanus Ecclesia? S. Pauli, qui primus sit Cano- 
 nicus ipsius Ecclesia? et sacerdos, is residere oportet 
 omnino in Ecclesia S. Pauli, et authoritatem ac 
 officium domini in eadem Ecclesia solicite exerceat, 
 defendat libertates, servet laudabiles consuetudines, 
 et alios observare faciat: bona Ecclesia? servabit 
 inventa, et alienata quoad poterit recuperabit. 
 
 Decani authoritas et officium est in omnes Cano- 
 nicos, Presbyteros, Vicarios: item in omnes Eccle- 
 sise ministros. Item est in eos, qui vel in maneriis 
 Ecclesia?, vel in pra?bendis suis morantui'. In ani- 
 marum regimine, correctione morum, et jurisdic- 
 tioue : quibus quidem iis omnibus prasest ordinaria 
 potestate et immediata. Is omnes causas ad Capi¬ 
 tulum spectantes audit, et Capituli judicio deffinit; 
 excessus omnium corrigit, obstinatos justa animad- 
 versione castigat: majores verci judicio fratrum ; 
 minores autem, et inferioris ordinis clericos, in levi- 
 oribus delictis Cancellario corrigendos assignat. 
 Episcopus autem nihil habet quod agat in causis 
 Praebendarum et personatuum, nisi ad ilium appel- 
 letur; sed omnes ejusmodi causae a Decano etCapi- 
 tulo terminentur. Pro gravioribus delictis, qui obsti- 
 nati sunt et incorrigibiles, ejiciantur a Choro; 
 stipendia et emolumenta eis detrahantur, sed omnia 
 fiant cum discretione, ut quaeque persona pro sua 
 conditione tractetur ad a?dificationem Ecclesia?, non 
 ad destructionem. 
 
 Ut autem errata, et quae male se habent in Ec¬ 
 clesia, cognoscantur, faciat Decanus ut singulo 
 quoque Sabbato celebrentur Capitula ab universis 
 ministris; in quibus diligent! examinatione exqui- 
 ratur quid quisque egit in ebdomada praelerita et 
 suum officium et debitum quod quisque expleverit, 
 ut et laudentur qui benti fecerint, et transgressores 
 corrigantur, semper personarum et criminum sapi- 
 enter observata qualitate. 
 
 Decanus etiam investit Canonicos, et Pra?ben- 
 darios, et impersonates, praesentibus fratribus resi- 
 deutibus, vel aliis canonicis qui commode possunt 
 adesse; et accipit eorum ad quae obligantur jura- 
 
 menta: omnes autem Praebendae, quacunque ratione 
 vocaverint, in manu Decani et Capituli sunt: in 
 invasores autem Praebendarum, in turbatores posses- 
 sionum, jurium, libertatum Ecclesia? Londinensis, 
 Decanus et Capitulum sua authoritate, etgeneralcm 
 et specialem possunt ferre sententiam. 
 
 Decanus primus sedet; primus in Conventu 
 loquitur: ei, vel intranti chorum et Capitulum, vel 
 prietereunti, omnes assurgunt, et justam reveren- 
 tiam exbibent. In stallo suo, quando fuerit, eidem 
 universi, vel ingredientes vel egredientes Chorum 
 reverenter inclinent. In processionibus solus in 
 medio, et po3tremus incedit. In solempnioribus 
 diebus expectatur cjus pra?sentia in Choro, tdm 
 in nocturnis, turn in divinis officiis; quoniam tunc 
 agere officium saltern absente Episcopo ad ilium 
 pertinet hijsce diebus. Etiam solempniores Anti- 
 phonas insonat, vel qui insonet assignat. Confiteor 
 dicat. Benedictionem dat. 
 
 Item in dominicis diebus ad Aquse benedictionem, 
 Aspersionem, et Processionem, expectetur ejus vo¬ 
 luntas veniendi. Is protnovendos ad ordines nomi- 
 nat, et judicet vel scribit ut inducantur. Is beneficia 
 ad Capitulum spectantia una cum Capitulo confert 
 et pra?sentat; in quo negotio nec Decanus sine 
 Capitulo, nec Capitulum sine Decano agere quic- 
 quam potest, nisi forsan periculum et Principum 
 Petitio immineat t 
 
 Is una cum Capitulo admittit qui in Choro ser- 
 viant, extollit qui extollantur, puniunt qui puni- 
 antur. Is dat licentiam residentibus, vel. 
 
 Et residentes et alii omnes si velint, ob justam 
 causam abesse a Decano licentiam debent petere et 
 impetrare. Minoribus autem Canonicis potest De¬ 
 canus per se dare licentiam abeundi, ad octo dun- 
 taxat dies : si ver5 plus exigat, consulat Fratres. 
 
 Decanus universam Decanatum et Capituli juris- 
 dictionem visitet, tertio quoque anno, si poterit; 
 si non poterit alias impeditus, assignet alium ex 
 Capitulo Canonicum, qui id perficiat.

 De Sub-Decano. 
 
 Sub-decanus ex minoribus Canonicis unus 
 maxime idoneus a Decano, Capitulo consentiente, 
 eligitur; qui vices Decani, eo absente, gerat in 
 Choro; quod quidem ordinatum fuit anno Christi 
 MCCLXXXX 0 . tunc Decano Radulfo Baldok, ut 
 ejusmodi Sub-decanus esset. Ejus autem officium 
 et auctoritas est in omnes ministros Ecclesia;, ut 
 videat et notet, quod quisque agat in Choro; et 
 delinquentes admoneat et corrigat. Capitula sin¬ 
 gulis quibusque diebus exerceat, maxim& Sabbato, 
 quo die frequentiores conveniant omnes : Tunc Sub- 
 decanus, absente Decano, omnia faciet proinde ac 
 Decan us ipse, admonendo, et laudando, et corri- 
 gendo, in quo videat semper ut tenorem discretions 
 sequatur; et sic suo utatur officio, ut prosit om¬ 
 
 nibus, noceat nemini: majores autem Canodicos 
 nequaquam attingat; nam eorum correctio, si qui 
 deliquerint, ad Decanum pertinet solum, et Capi- 
 tulum. Is autem Sub-decanus, tametsi hoc minis* 
 terium et officium habet; tamen qure sunt minoris 
 Canonici nihil mutabit; sed par erit reliquis suis 
 fratribus, hoc uno excepto, quod arnictum ex grisio, 
 more majoris Canonici, ferre possit et debet, quod 
 erat ei concessum anno Christi M CCCC°. Willielmo 
 Warham tunc Episcopo. 
 
 Item more majoris Canonici trina incensione ex- 
 honestatur; incrementum accipit ad victum suum 
 in pane et cervisia, vel pro hijs in pecunia, ut hoc 
 operisjust& adimpleat. 
 
 De Cardinalibus Chori. 
 
 Ex minoribus Canonicis a Decano et Capitulo 
 delegantur duo, qui Cardinales Chori vocantur: 
 horum Officium est circumspicere cotiditi et notare 
 omnia in Choro delicta et peccata; scilicet et qui 
 tard& veniunt, et qui ante tempus exierint; et in 
 Choro, qui vel obstinati vel negligentes et desidiosi 
 sunt; atque quos notarunt singulo quoque sabbato; 
 quo die semper frequens Capitulum congreget, De¬ 
 cano et Capitulo, vel admonendum vel puniendum 
 offerre et prsesentare; in quibus castigandum videat 
 
 Decanus, ne nimium piger etfrigidum sit, propterea 
 quod longa impunitas smpenumero licentiam dat 
 plurimam, et audaciam peccandi. Hij duo etiatn 
 Cardinales ministerium Ecclesia?, et firmum eorum* 
 turn sanum, turn aegrotum, Ecclesiastica ministrant 
 Sacramenta: confessiones audiunt et pcenitentias 
 injungunt salutares: mortuorum postremd conve- 
 nientibus tradunt sepulturam. In hac, oblationes, 
 et quicquid devotio contulerit, in subsidiuin laborum 
 percipientes. 
 
 De Thcsaurario. 
 
 Thesaurarius, Capituli minister, totius Ecclcsim 
 thesauri custos est; ut sunt Reliquiae, Libri, Vasa, 
 Vestimenta, Calices, Cruces, Curtini, Pulvini, Pal¬ 
 lia, et id genus similia: hmc omnia ejus fidei etcus- 
 todiffi commissa et tradita, sunt descripta in quodam 
 libro testificante quae et qualia sunt, quae in Ecclesiae 
 
 thesauris numerantur; quorum omnium, ut fidelis 
 custos sit, sacrosancto jusjurando a\ Decano et Capi- 
 tulo astringitur. Is nec immutare quippiam, nec 
 accommodare aliquod alicui potest, Decano et Ca¬ 
 pitulo inconsulto. 
 
 De Sacrista. 
 
 Is Thesaurarius Sacristam sub se habet coadju- 
 torem, et concustodem. Sacrista autem oportet vir 
 probus et justus, ac in officio suo summ& diligens 
 sit: quamobrem, quando novus Sacrista habendus 
 est, Thesaurarius debet eum quaerere et invenire 
 virum aptum et idoneum, et talem qui ignoratur a 
 Decano et Capitulo : inventum debet offerre et pra:- 
 sentare Decano, ut approbetur et adraittatur, cum 
 juramento ut juret se fidelem, diligentem, et in 
 officio suo studiosum fore. 
 
 Officium autem Sacrista; Ecclesire S. Pauli, est 
 vestibuli ostium omni die, in prima matutinali pul- 
 satione aperire. Item in prima Vespertina pul- 
 satione, ut Rectores Chori possiut ingredi, et acl 
 
 divinum se officium prafferant; utque etiam infirm! 
 ministri, et item qui se nunciant, si velint, suas 
 Canonicas horas possint recitare. Is curct ut omnia, 
 qua; ad divinum officium, et ad Altaria in Ecclesia 
 spectant, sint pura, integra, munda, nitida; sicuti 
 sunt vasa, vestimenta, mappas, linthea, offertoria 
 et abstersoria; et id genus omnia, qumcunque sunt, 
 qua; lotione egeant, curet ut suis temporibus laven- 
 tur, et lota Altaribus apponantur, ut area, sacra 
 ministeria, nihil sit nisi id quod et pulchr& splendeat 
 et ben& oleat. In hiis Sacrista, si negligens fuerit, 
 correctioni Decani et Capituli subijeiatur. Is curet 
 etiam ut fracta resareiantur, soluta resolidentur: 
 utque libri omnes ad Decanum et Capitulum per- 
 
346 
 
 3 tppentit;c in ^tstortam 
 
 tinentes, sumptibus ligatoris librorum ligantur, 
 tegantur, et hamulis suis claudantur. 
 
 Is videat et omnino et diligentissime caveat, ut 
 Vestibulo non sit incursus et frequentia hominum. 
 In prirnam domum laicus nemo ingrediatur, nisi 
 cum licentia Decani et Capituli; et nisi quando pro 
 re aliqua ad Ecclesiam necessaria. In secundam 
 domum nemo intret, nisi qui sit ex habitu, et tunc 
 duntaxat quaudo sint in Ecclesia ministraturi. In 
 tertiam domum nemo intret omnino nisi Decanus 
 et residentes, Thesaurarius, et Sacrista, ct sui; ejus 
 nisi sit causa justa cur alius intret aliquando, et 
 tunc id fiat licentia a Decano obtenta. 
 
 Is videat ne sit turba, clamor, vel cantus in vesti¬ 
 bulo : item ne sit confabulatio, jurgatio, jocus. 
 Item ne coramensatio nec compotatio ; nec denique 
 aliquod leve vel inhonestum fiat in vestibulo. Is 
 
 disponat et reponat omnia in locis convenientibus. 
 Ante omnia caveat Sacrista, ne quid mutuet cuique, 
 nec ex thesauris accommodet, maxime ne tradat in 
 manus cujusquam Scripta et Munimenta Ecclesia;, 
 nisi licentiam habuerit a Decano et Capitulo, et id 
 quoquo modo, qua ratione, et quamdiu tradat: 
 aliter quidem si fecerit, agnoscat planti in gravem 
 dedignationem Decani et Capituli, et in periculum 
 amittendi sui officii se incursurum. Item caveat ne 
 depositum aliquod alicujusve extranei recipiat bona, 
 ullo modo, in veslibulum custodiendum : et quod 
 teneat universum vestibulum et domus ejus et orna- 
 menta qua; sunt in domibus suis pura, munda, et 
 sana, tota inoffensa, tota illaesa, ad Dei honorem, 
 et ad sui ipsius laudem et Ecclesia; utilitatem. Is 
 habet sub se servientes, quos Virgiferos vocamus; 
 de quorum officio jam dicemus. 
 
 De Virgifcris. 
 
 Virgiferorum, qui tres numero sunt, officium 
 est diligentissime inservire Ecclesia?, non per alias 
 personas Vicarias, sed per seipsos propriis personis 
 suis ; et id quoque non alternatim per ebdoraadas, 
 uti soliti fuerunt; sed oranes simul omni hebdomada, 
 omni quoque die incessanter: propterea quod 
 Ecclesia, in tauta servientum paucitate, nullius 
 eorum absentiam ferre possit. Semper unus sit in 
 Ecclesia sua ebdomada, nisi refectionis tempore; 
 tunc loco ejus, garcio observet, donee redierit. Si 
 quando abesse voluerint, videatur justa et idonea sit 
 causa ; etiam tunc impetrent licentiam a domino 
 Decano, qui tamdiu et talibus temporibus concedet 
 eis licentiam, quibus Ecclesia maxime illorum 
 prfesentia carere possit. 
 
 Ostia Ecclesia; aperient et claudent horis congruis 
 et opportunis, mane videlicet et vespere. Antequam 
 vero claudant, scrutent omnes Ecclesia; latebras, et 
 si quid sit, quod lateat suspiciosum, excutiatur. 
 Videant et curent, ut pulsationes Campanarum, ex 
 antiquo more Ecclesia;, ril^ et legitim^ fiant, horis 
 debitis et consuetis: hostia Chori et Sanctuarii 
 sollicit& custodiant, laicas personas vel in Chorum 
 vel in Sanctuarium nequaquam ingredi permittant. 
 Si quas agnoverint ingressas fuisse, ea3 honesto et 
 sobrio modo ejiciant. Item Sacerdotes et qui non 
 gerunt habitum Ecclesia;, extra cancellos stare com- 
 pellant, ut Chorus et Sanctuarium tutatum et quietum 
 ministrantibus divinum officium, esse possit. 
 
 In Choro et Sanctuario caveant ne tectis sunt 
 capilibus, nisi causa major urserit quum Decanus 
 simul cum Capitulo, agnoscat et admittat. Quando 
 instant Festasolemniora, verrant Ecclesiam, Ecclesia; 
 pavimenta et scopent. Item muros, fenestras, et 
 areas, et omnes templi superjores partes a firao, 
 pulvere, et araneis liberant. Item obediant Sa- 
 cristse, qui obediat Thesaurario, qui obediat Decano. 
 
 Sacrista; autem obediant in hijs quidem qtice 
 spectant ad Vestibulum, sicuti sunt Capas efferre et 
 inferre; illatas plicare, plicatas reponere. Item in 
 efterendis et inferendis Reliquiis et Vasis, et illius- 
 modi aliis in quibus a Sacrista se et admoneri et 
 juberi pati debeant. 
 
 Infames personas, maxim£ publicas meretrices, 
 portatores onerum per Ecclesiam; mendicos,qui vel 
 foed£ et somniculose jacent in Ecclesia; vel impor- 
 tunii inlerpellant orantes, extra Ecclesiaj fores 
 eijciantet expellant. Assignent in cimiterio foveas 
 ad sepulturas; in quo negotio faciles et benigni 
 sint; et caveant ne plus justo exigant, et quantum 
 accipient. Officii sui perpetuitatem non vendicent; 
 sed singulo anno, ad festum divi Michaelis virgaa 
 suas reddant in manus Decani, et Capituli exami¬ 
 nation! humiliter se subjiciant; promeritum accep- 
 turi vel laudem, vel vituperium; etiam Virgam 
 suam ex spe emendatiouis, si deliquerint; alioquin 
 ab officio perpetuo amoveantur. 
 
 Przeterea, quia res uxoria est smpenumero res 
 negotiosa et turbulenta; atque mariti uxori, ut 
 dorninm sum oportet, studeant.... Virgiferi noslri, 
 matrimoniali sollicitudine distracti, in Ecclesia 
 officium suum negligant aut necessitate coacti (quia 
 duobus dominis nemo bene servire potest) deserant: 
 idcirco statutuin est & domino Decano, Capitulo 
 consentiente, et conclusum, ut deinceps in Ecclesia 
 S. Pauli non sint ullo modo Virgiferi, nisi tales qui 
 sine uxoribus ccelebes vitam ducant, et continen- 
 tiam teneant; quod si talis a Thesaurario preesentetur 
 Decano, qui uxorem habet, audito uxoris nomine 
 statim repellatur. Item ad hoc officium, virgo 
 vidua, si emtera sint paria, prmferatur: convenit 
 enim, ut qui tarn propriii accedunt ad Altare Dei, 
 tarn magnisque ministeriis intersunt, omninb casti 
 et intemerati siut.

 Item statutum est deinceps, ut hij qui Virgiferi 
 sint, in minoribus ordinibus constituentur, et ad 
 minutum gradum Accolitus accipere impellanlur. 
 Item statutum et conclusura est, ut deinceps 
 Virgiferorum officium, nullo modo, nec apertii nec 
 secret^, nec coram hominibus, nec coram Deo, sub 
 ullo colore vendatur et ematur; hoc autem intellecto 
 
 et probato, oblatus ad officium non admittatur, 
 immo in officio positus, si postea constiterit id ilium 
 emisse, e vestigio amoveatur. Hoc totum factum 
 est quidem, ut Virgiferi in Ecclesia nostra perpe- 
 tuitate non vendicent, sed pro meritis semper, vel 
 sustineantur, vel ejiciantur. 
 
 De Gartionibus. 
 
 Gartiones sunt ministri et servi Virgiferorum, hurnile officium exerceant in Ecclesia, ad imperium 
 sub Decano et Capitulo: hii exculpent Ecclesiam, Virgiferorum, qui pro veritate et fide eoruin 
 Campanas pulsant, exsufflent Organa, et omne aliud spondent. 
 
 De Cantore. 
 
 Cantor est in Ecclesia S. Pauli, qui Cantui 
 praiest: ejus officium est examinare Cantum et 
 Cantores; atque vidcre ut omnes in Choro justa 
 modulatione concinnant; assignare quid quisque 
 cantet, suis locum et temporibus ; atque facere ut pro 
 varietate dierum et festorum varii et idonci Cantus 
 observentur. In majoribus festis Antiphonam super 
 “ Magnificat ” et “ Benedictus ” incipere: item 
 “ Processionales cantus ” et sequentias inchoare; et 
 “ Gloria in excelsis.” Canonico celebranti ad divi- 
 
 num Altare intonare ; videre qui pueri introducantur 
 in Chorum, et quos canendi facultatem habent, 
 admittere. Item ad ejus officium pertinet Capas in 
 Choro, quotiens gerantur, pro qualitate personarum, 
 distribuere. Omnera autem correctionem domino 
 Decano et Capitulo relinquat, et seipsum etiam 
 judicio Decani Capitulique subjiciat, cui agnoscat 
 in omnibus, qua: ad ejus officium pertinent, obedire 
 oportere. 
 
 Is sub se Succentorem habet. 
 
 De Succentore. 
 
 ' Succentorum officium est in absentia Cantorum 
 vices ejus gerere; et quod faceret ipse prsesens, 
 quatenus ad Cantum, spectat in Choro facere: 
 admoncreque et jubere quemque ut decet, tarn 
 minores Canonicos quant reliquos omnes ministros, 
 quod canendum sit in Choro, canent: etiam majores 
 
 Canonicos quoscunque qui in Choro sunt; sed ea 
 cum humilitate et cum debita reverentia; in quo 
 obligantur omnes, quod instituerit Succentor in 
 Choro, saltern in Cantu, statim et libenter, exque 
 omni excusatione, faciant. 
 
 De Magistro Schola Cantus. 
 
 Magistrum Scholte Cantus constituit Cantor, multb magis eosdem de vitijs eorum admonere, et 
 Ad eum pertinet eos, qui canere nequeunt in- ad virtutem exhortare. Ad eum etiam pertinet 
 struere, pueros diligenter docere, eis non solum tabulam observare, et qui canunt quemque ordine 
 magistrum Cantus, sed etiam bonorum raorum esse, suo inscribere; ut quid quisque faciat, sine tumultu 
 Nullum.malum exemplum ostendere, sed et agnoscat facile, et exequatur. 
 
 De Cancellario. 
 
 Cancellarius, Ecclesia: et Capituli Scriba 
 est: nam ad eum pertinet componere et scribere 
 Epistolas Capituli; et legere coram Capitulo eas 
 qua: ad Capitulum transmittuntur. 
 
 Is praecipue Sigillum custodit, et qua: sigillanda 
 sunt sigillat. Is prteest omni lectioni in Choro, et 
 videt, ut quicquid legatur, id rit£, pulchre et 
 distinct^ legatur: docet in hoc genere ignorantes, 
 laudat benefacientes, malfe legentes corripit, et casti-

 gat. Episcopo aliquando legenti ultimam lectionem, 
 ipse Cancellarius librurn sustinens ministrat. 
 
 In majoribus Festis sexta lectio ab ipso Cancel¬ 
 lario legi debeat. Is etiam prnsest literatura:, non 
 solum Ecclesia:, sed etiam totius civitatis. Omnes 
 magistri Grammatices ei subjiciuntur. Is in Schola 
 Pauli Magistrum idoneum, quern ante Decano et 
 Capitulo prsesentaverit, praeficit; et mdes illius 
 Scholse sumptibus suis reficit. Is etiam libros

 Ecclesi® omnes scholasticos custodit, et Magister vital et morum institutionem. Item de numero 
 eruditionis et doctrin® est; et auditoribus legere librorum, et integritate eorum, quotiens vocatus 
 oportet sacras Literas, ad Dei cognitionem, et ad fuerit, reddet rationem. 
 
 De Magistro 
 
 Magister Schol® Grammatic® vir probus 
 et honestus debet esse, atque mult® et laudat® 
 literatur® : is pueros doceat Grammaticam, maxi- 
 me cos qui sint Ecclesi® ; eisdem exemplum bon® 
 vit® ostendat: caveat magnoperb ne scandalizet 
 teneros animos aliqua fceditate, vel facti vel ser- 
 monis; quinimo simul cum casta literatura, imbuat 
 
 Grammatices. 
 
 eos sanctis moribus : sitque eis, non solum Gram- 
 matic®, sed etiatn virtutis Magister. Is loco 
 Cancellarii scribit in tabula, atque notat ordine, 
 quid quisque legat in Ecclesia. Is etiam Magister, 
 habitum gerat in Choro, et in majoribus Festis 
 primam lectionem legat. 
 
 De Subscriba Capitali. 
 
 Habet etiam Cancellarins, sub se, Scribam qui rerum gestarum Ecclesi® literis perpelu® memori® 
 est quasi ejus Subscriba. Ejus officium est acta et commendare, rerum et temporum ordine servato. 
 
 De Canonico Stagiario, 
 
 Ex majoribus Canonicis et residentiariis, eligatur 
 unus, maximb idoneus vir, pr®stans bonitate et 
 prudentia, qui pr®sit Camer® et Pistrino. Ejus 
 officium est speculare, et viderc Camerarium, et 
 cutodem Pistrini; videlicet ex suo uterque officio, 
 
 qui prcesit Camerce et Pistrino. 
 
 rectb omnia agat ad Ecclesi® et fratrum commodi- 
 tatem. Is sub Decano et Capitulo habet imperium 
 in Camerarium et Pistrini custodem; et in eos 
 quoque qui eis subjiciuntur. 
 
 De Camerario. 
 
 Camerarii officium est diligenter curare, ut un- 
 dequaque reditus, qui Camer® debentur, in tempori- 
 bus juste persolvantur: in quorum solutione, si quis 
 tardior reperiatur, Camerarius referat Residentiario 
 illi, qui pr®est Camer® et Pistrino. Is pr®fectus, 
 si se nequeat remedium invenire, Decanum et Capi- 
 tulum consulat. Is Camerarius recipit nummos 
 omnes qui debentur Camer®, et ex ijsdem stipendia 
 et pilantias solvit eis quibus solvi debeant. Panem, 
 
 vinum, ceram, oleum; et quicquid aliud sit quod 
 in domo Dei et quotidianos usus pertinet, quod 
 suvnptibus Decani et Capituli erai debeat, is emit, et 
 empta reponit; ut semper adsit Ecclesi® S. Pauli 
 quod sit necessarium, ad sacra, et ceremonias. Po- 
 stremb cuique quod opus est tradit. Is etiam et 
 recepti et expensi compotum, et totius sui officii 
 rationem reddet Decano et Capitulo. Is sub se 
 habet Colleetorem reddituum. 
 
 De Collectore reddituum. 
 
 Collector reddituum, totius su® Collectionis collecta ad manus Camerarii deferat. Libros col- 
 fidelem compotum reddet Camerario, tridub ante- lectionis su® et compotum de anno in annum faciat. 
 quam Camerarius ille computaverit. Is colliget Hii libri ad perpetuam memoriam in Camera Eccle- 
 redditus omnes et proventus, undequaque nascuntur : si® servati reponuntur. 
 
 De Custode Pistrini. 
 
 Custos Pistrini sub Residentiario pr®fecto, 
 videat sanum et integrum frumentum in pistrinum 
 a firmariis inferatur, id coram pistore examinetur. 
 Is tradit ex pistrino Canonicis et omnibus ministris 
 suam cuique justam portionem : non solventes fru¬ 
 mentum firmarios, vel tardius solventes notet, nomi- 
 natim, et Residentiario prsfecto referat. Laicis 
 
 venditum panem non reddat, nisi ex licentia Decani 
 et Capituli. Claves Panetri® apud se teneat, et 
 quando tradendi sunt panes ipse pr®sens sit, et 
 Talias faciat ipse : panem in pasto videat ponderari: 
 attendat et curct ut pistor et servi honesti sint, et 
 suis stipendiis contenti. Efficiat denique ut Pistri- 
 nura sit sanctum et inviolatum ab omni spurcitia et

 iniquitate. Corapotationes, Concoenationes et mere- 
 tricia communia illic nequaquam fiant, quinimo non 
 patiatur. Suspectas personas domum ingredi om- 
 nino, nec servos quidem Canonicorum, si vilae sunt 
 
 solutioris. Curet hospitium Pistrini suis lioris clau- 
 datur, et clausis apud se teneat, vel fideli custodi 
 tradat. Singulis mensibus de statu Pistrini Resi- 
 denliario prmfecto rationem reddat. 
 
 De Elemosinario. 
 
 Habet etiam Ecclesia S. Pauli Elemosina- 
 bium : is homo pius et pauperum necessitatibus 
 cotnpatiens sit. Ejus officium est statutis diebus 
 Elemosinas distribuere egentibus, uti voluerint illi, 
 qui publicam in elemosinam redditus contulerunt: 
 et pauperes si qui sint qui juxta Ecclesiatn mori- 
 untur, in majori ccemiterio gratis sepelire. Is oeto 
 pueros bona; iudolis et honestm parentelm, habeat; 
 
 quos alat et educet in morum disciplina; videat 
 etiam instruantur in cantu et literaturS., ut in om¬ 
 nibus apti ad ministerium Dei iuChoroesse possunt. 
 Caveat ne quicquam pro admissione eorum accipiat, 
 sed gratam in Ecclesia; elemosinam admittatur; 
 redditus Dlemosinm unde et a quibus solvitur, col- 
 ligat et describat, detque calculum tilm recepti, thm 
 expensi. 
 
 De Custode 
 
 Habet prmterea Decanus et Capitulum Cus- 
 todem nov-e Fabrics et operis. Is dilapidata 
 restauret, fractas fenestras reficiat, post pluvias et 
 nives voltas omnes et tecta exquirat et expurget: 
 nihil fabricari supril in summa parte operis per- 
 mittat, unde aliquid periculi fabrica; possit evenire. 
 Videat ne custos Capella; beata; Maria;, plus justo, 
 
 nova Fabrica. 
 
 accipiat. Qua; pertinent ad refectionem fabric® 
 contra oblationes et testamentorum legata, et quic- 
 quid ex devotione populi pervenerit. Item certi 
 redditus annui in hoc opere quod expendit, et quo- 
 modo, et quando, et quibus de causis, justum cal¬ 
 culum reddat. 
 
 De Canonicis in generali, et unde primum nomen Residentis. 
 
 Canonici in Ecclesia S. Pauli sub domino De- 
 cano, antiquo instituto h triginta sunt numero; qui 
 quondam in principio regularetn duxerunt vitam, 
 uti nomen Canonici declarat, quod est dictu Regu- 
 laris : et in Ecclesia omnes perpetub residcrunt, in 
 obedientia, castitale, charitate, oratione, jejunio, 
 lectione, et contemplatione: aliqui eorum Sacer- 
 dotes, aliqui Diaconi, aliqui Subdiaconi semper 
 existentes. Eorum etiam dim suum quisque habuit 
 vicarium, hominem in sacris ordinibus constilutum. 
 Canonici in Cboro, die noctuque jugiter psallebant. 
 In Altare Dei Sacerdotes vicissim rainistrabant, 
 cotidie eis Canonicis, diaconis et subdiaconis inser- 
 vienlibus; communi consilio omnia Ecclesiae ne- 
 gotia tractarunt, et secundum divi Augustini regu- 
 lam, facultatibus in commune collalis, communiter 
 vixerunt, in victu eorum facta necessaria rerum 
 justa distributione. 
 
 Sed, prob dolor, ut omnia alia benb instituta, ita 
 hoc quoque paulatim successione temporum, in 
 alium statum plane infoelieem devenit : nam Cano¬ 
 nici ctEperunt magis araare mundum quam Deum, 
 et cursum seculi sequi quam cceli; atque alius post 
 alium ccepit sensim et paulatim abire in seculum; 
 abesse sum Ecclesim, et aliis locis degere ; tenentes 
 tantum nomen et titulum Canonici. 
 
 Hii pritniim vecati fucrunt Regulares; tunc 
 tandem Seculares Canonici cceperunt vocitari, 
 quo nomine adhuc dehonestantur, qua abeundi et 
 abessendi licentm Ecclesia prope destituta est. Qui 
 reliqui fuerunt Canonici pauculi, ne omnia miserb 
 pereant, nova se professione, atque novo jusjurando, 
 ut in Ecclesia. perpetub resideant, astrinxerunt, facile 
 contenti; nec alii quo velint abeant absuntque 
 etiam cum titulo nominis sui et aliqua Prmbenda 
 eis pro qualitate persona; assignata, dummodb sinant 
 reliquos qui denub se in EcclesiS. ex veteri more 
 manere professi fuerint, agere et tractare omnia, 
 qua; ad honorem divini cultus et Ecclesim utilitatem 
 videantur pertinere. 
 
 Itaque in ealhedralibus Ecclesiis nomen Resi- 
 dentim ccepit inolere, quod est nomen novae profes¬ 
 sion^, novmque promissae observantia;. Hii revera, 
 Ecclesia;, vera et stabilita membra censeantur : hii 
 sunt, quos Decanus debet verb suos fratres nume- 
 rare, qui volunt et profilentur se cum illo continub 
 manere in Ecclesia, et Deo incessanter et Sancto 
 Paulo inservire. In eorum manibus tota Ecclesia 
 est posita, ut in gratia Dei, earn regant et guber- 
 nent. Quod quidem videntur facilb concessisse isti 
 quos voto abeuntes Canonici, ac quasi jus et inte- 
 resse suum, saltern quatenus ad Ecclesite regimen

350 appenDt* in ^tstonam 
 
 spectat renunciasse, dummodo liceat eis cum sua 
 portione abire, et ubi locorum voluerint, liberc per- 
 manere. 
 
 Hii Residentes in principio sancte et religiosb 
 vixerunt, uti in amitate et hominum turba, sancte et 
 religiose vivere potest: et tales in Cathedralibus Ec- 
 desiis Residentes fuerunt habiti, quales modo apud 
 religiosos observantes ; nam reformationem etobser- 
 vationem regularis vitae professi sunt. Sed iterum 
 exclamo, proh scelus; hii quoque vocati Residen¬ 
 tes, modo, et regula, et disciplina, apostatarunt; et 
 
 sancta ilia Ecclesiastic^ vivendi forma, quae prisca 
 sub patribus Episcopis fuit, longe recesserunt; et 
 tam sunt nunc usquequaque et in vita et in religione 
 deformati, ut non minus quam quondam Canonici, 
 jam Residentes ipsi reformatione egeant: deserunt 
 enim Ecclesias in quibus permanentiam professi 
 sunt, vagantes solutibs, et errant; divinum cultum 
 relinquunt; curam Ecclesia; abjiciunt; propria 
 
 lucra sectantur ; communia bona in privates usus 
 vertunt: nec aliud est in hac infeelieitate et con- 
 fusione temporum in Ecclesia cathedrali residere,' 
 quam proprium commodum qutetere ; ac ut-planihs- 
 loquar, spoliare Ecclesiam, et se ditiores facere ; O 
 scelus nefandum! O detestanda iniquitas! verun- 
 tamen non defuerunt superioribus seculis, trim Epis- 
 copi, turn Decani, qui videntes et experientes, quod 
 omnia progressu temporis labuntur in deterius, ede- 
 rent Leges et Staluta, prohibentia transgressiones 
 et aliquosque ad meliorem formam revocantia. 
 Itaque in hac nostra Ecclesia S. Pauli, partim 
 Episcopi, partim Decani, in Visitationibus suis, quid 
 Residentes faciant, et quam Residentiae regulam 
 observent, definierunt. Quod totum nos Johannes 
 Collet Decanus, utexcerpsimus ex libro Statutorum, 
 postea trademus. Sed primus qua; de majoribus 
 Canonici9 in generali, ut in veteribus Statutis Ec¬ 
 clesia; invenimus, dicamus. 
 
 De CanoJiicis Ecclesia 
 
 Canonicus ab Episcopo nominatus, affert literas 
 Episcopi ad Decanum et Capitulum Prrebenda; col- 
 latitias : Scriba legit; Decanus exquirit statim si 
 nullum reperiatur inductum habitu Canonico: turn 
 Decanus admittit, dicens; “ ISos admittimus te in 
 Canonicum et fratrem, et tradimus tibi regularis 
 observantise formam, in hoc volumine contentam, 
 pro cibo tuo spirituali : item tradimus tibi istum 
 panem, in refectionem tui corporalem.” 
 
 Panis autem per Elemosynarium pauperi traditur. 
 
 Canonicus ille, si non sit initiatus sacris, admo- 
 neatur, ut quam primum ad sacros ordines accedat. 
 Tunc Decanus assignet pro fratribus unum qui 
 Canonicum in suum stallum inducet, dicens, “ Do- 
 minus custodiat introitum tuum, et exitum tuum ex 
 hoc nunc et usque in seculum.” Canonicus pro¬ 
 stratus in genu, Dominicam orationem dicat. Turn 
 qui installaverit, addat, “ Et ne nos inducas in 
 temptationem ; salvum fac servum tuum; mitte ei 
 Domine auxilium de Sancto; nihil proficiat ini- 
 micus in eo: esto ei domine turris fortitudinis; 
 Domine exaudi orationem meam; Dominus Vobis- 
 cum, Oreraus. 
 
 “ Deus omnium bonorum principium et finis, 
 virtutum dator, et meritorum benignissime prae- 
 miator, obsecramus immensam tuee largitatis habun- 
 dantiam, ut per preces et merita Doctoris gentium 
 Pauli, patroni nostri, tribuas huic famulo tuo N. 
 quern nostro dignatus es ascribere collegio, tibi tam 
 pi& jugiter famulari; sicque in hac domo tua per 
 veram charitatem cum fratribus conversari, ut post 
 decursum prasentis vitae stadium, te donante, spe- 
 raturn incorruptibilis vita; braveum comprehendat, 
 per Christum dominum.” 
 
 Post haec surgens ex prostratione Canonicus, sus- 
 
 S. Pauli in genei'ali. 
 
 cipiat Psalmos; agnoscens se illos quotidie, nisi 
 aliter fuerit impeditus, pro benefactoribus Ecclesiue, 
 dicere oportere. Deinde reductus in Capitulum, 
 discumbat in novissimo loco : postea coram Decano 
 et fratribus, tactis sacrosanctis Evangeliis, juret 
 primum ut obediat omnino Decano et Capitulo : 
 quod Ecclesia; S. Pauli fidelis sit: jura et liber- 
 tates Ecclesia; pro posse defendet: laudabiles con- 
 suetudines, ut eas didicerit, servet: Capituli secreta, 
 aliter quam debet, non revelet. Item oportet Ca¬ 
 nonicus, vocatus ad Capitulum, undecunque ad 
 Ecclesia; negotia prestb veniat, inde non recessurus 
 nisi cognita causa, et licentia obtenta. Non veniens 
 
 autem, scriptis se excuset; significetque. 
 
 ipso absente quicquid agerint fratrcs dehabiturum. 
 
 Post longam verb absentiam Canonicus reversus, 
 infra triduum revisat fratres, Decanum maxirne, 
 intellecturus si quid eraerserit in ejus absentia, quod 
 ad ilium videatur pertinere. Item quando intel- 
 lexerit fratrem defunctum, si Canonicus sacerdos sit, 
 funerale officium dicat, et missas decern, vel ab 
 alio dici efficiat. Si Canonicus diaconus, Psalmos 
 decern; Subdiaconus totidem. Hxc omnia polli- 
 ceatur et promittat novus Canonicus. 
 
 Tunc postremb admissus ad osculum primum 
 Decani, thm fratrum, ad sedem suam in pace demit-* 
 tatur, nisi simul tunc admittatur ad aliquam dignita¬ 
 tem. Tunc quidem illi Decanus dicat, “.Amice! 
 ascende superius;” et assignet ei locum dignitatis 
 suce. Si autem ad dignitatem impra;bendatus ad¬ 
 mittatur, duntaxat introducatus in stallum suum, in 
 Choro ulteriori non astrictus juramento, donee ali; 
 quam fuerit Pra:bendam assecutus. Tunc autem 
 jusjurando Canonici alligetur. Si Canonicus desig- 
 natus mittat procuratorem, per ejusmodi nec instal-

 letur Canonicus, nec admittatur; sed duntaxat 
 Procuratori ostendatur stallum in Choro, et Psalmi 
 dicendi, et ministratio prrebendi eidem tradatur. In 
 fratrem verb et Canonicum, nisi in propria persona 
 admitti, nequaquam potest. 
 
 Canonicus autem commutatus Prrebendam, denub 
 admittatur et installetur, et hoc quoque totiens quo- 
 tiens Prrebendre sure possessor fructus statim recipit, 
 si vivo succedat; sin mortuo ad integrum postea 
 annum et tres dies Prrebendre suee fructibus 
 carebit. Vacatio autem Prrebendarum dignita- 
 tum Decani et Capituli est. Legitimb vocatis 
 fratribus ad concilium, ut de rebus Ecclesire neces- 
 sariis, communi consensu tractetur; si non veniant, 
 reliqui procedant, aliorum non expectato judicio; 
 nam qui rarb apparent in Ecclesia, pro consultoribus 
 non habeantur. 
 
 Omnes Canonici, ratione Prrebendarum suarum, 
 soli Decano et Capitulo subjiciuntur, solique eidem 
 juramento aslringuntur. Omnes autem Canonici 
 ad Missarum onera obligentur, ut succesive suis 
 ebdomadibus per se,vel per alios ad summum Altare 
 Missam celebrent, et oblationes accipiant, tertiam 
 partem Diacono et Sub-diacono dividant. 
 
 Canonicus ebdomadarius, cessante Campana- 
 rum pulsatione, per conveniens spatium expectet, 
 donee fratres veniunt, antequam offieium inchoet. 
 Inscriptus aliquis. Canonicus admonitus vel ad 
 lectionem a Cancellario, vel ad Cantum a Prrecen- 
 tore, promptb se exhibcat, etiamsi ad regendum 
 chorum vocetur, vel ad assistendum Decano in Missis 
 ad summum Altare celebranti; quod quidem fiet 
 semper in Festis majoribus, ut majores Canonici, 
 etiam ex non residentibus Chorum regant Primus, 
 Antiphonas, Psalmos, hymnos incipiant, et minis- 
 tranti ad summum Altare assistant. 
 
 Ilrec omnia intelligenda sunt de Canonicis post 
 primum annum; simul atque cccperant ex Prrebenda 
 fructus percipere : tunc enirn quando in Choro 
 apparuerunt, licet Decano et Prrecentori et Can¬ 
 cellario eos ad aliqua officia, ad divinum cultum 
 spectantia imperare. In hyeme nigris, in restate 
 candidis; in nocte semper nigro induantur. 
 
 Canonici ingrediantur ante “ Gloria patri” primi 
 Psalmi, alioquin foris stent. Ingredientes autem, 
 ad Orientem, in ipso Chori medio, primum Deo; 
 turn versi in occidenlem, Decano inclinet; deinde 
 ad. stalla sua accedant, inde non recessuri, nisi major 
 causa exposcat: recedentes etiam, memores sint 
 se in medio Chori, Deum et Decanum salutare opor- 
 tere, in stallum verb, sobrii, simplices, et erecti stent. 
 In Choro caveant a confabulatione, cachinno, risu; 
 aut orent, aut legant, aut psallant, memores eorum 
 facta aliis minoribus ministris exemplum fore. 
 
 In Choro dum stant cum reliquis ministris, sta- 
 tiones, inclinationes, conversiones, prostrationes, et 
 creteros gestus dignos Choro et divino servicio obser- 
 
 vent. Requisiti ut aliquid faciant vel canant, vel in 
 summo Altari ministrent, non recusent; agnoscentes 
 se, dum in choro sunt, legibus Ecclesire inservire 
 oportere. In ebdomada sua, vel die aliquo festo, si 
 quis Canonicus Missam ad summum Altare dicat, 
 prodeat noviter tonsus et rasus, purus, nitidus, quo 
 doceat se omnem quam possit reverentiam Sacra¬ 
 mento exhibere. Supercilicia habeant Candida, 
 Capre eorum nigrre, ne longitudiue nimia defluant, 
 nec nimia brevitate dependeant; modumin omnibus, 
 ut convenit, teneant. Tonsura, vultu, habitu, gestu; 
 omni denique motu tales sint, ut deceat. 
 
 Sacerdotes divino famulitio mancipiantur : collo- 
 quia cum mulieribus ubique, sed in Ecclesia maximb 
 vitent, qure et suspecta et periculosa sunt. In pro- 
 cessionibus bini et bini, servato ordine et justa 
 distantia, i need ant, vultibus in terrain dimissis 
 sobrib, in quibus omninb caveant ne confabuleut 
 cum laicis, et aliis quibuscunque extra processionera, 
 personis ; et si se ingerant, repellantur. 
 
 Tempore divini officii, caveat quisque Canonicus, 
 ne in navi Ecclesire, vel alibi extra Chorum, appa- 
 reat, dedecorosum enim, et apostasire simile est, 
 fratrem in Ecclesia vagare sine habitu Canonicatus 
 sui; prresertim quum reliqui fratres in Choro in 
 divino obsequio occupati sunt. 
 
 Canonicas boras vigilanter observent; divinum 
 offieium, humiliter et devotb persolvant; veniant ad 
 Ecclesiam, non vage nec solutb, nec cum vana 
 pompa; sed graviter et sobrib, modo convenienti et 
 sobrio, ut decet viros sanctitatis professores ; et hoc 
 non soliim die, sed etiam nocte, ut se probent reli- 
 giosos, et coram Deo et coram hominibus. In 
 Ecclesia autem, maximb in Choro, omni vanitate 
 abjecta, toto se dedant orationi et divino obsequio: 
 confabulationera, risum, levem vultum, qure sunt 
 argumenta levis et solutre mentis, summopere devi- 
 tent. Qure sunt hujus seculi, in Choro nec loquan- 
 tur ipsi, nec alios loqui audiant; immo tales objur- 
 gent, significantes in Choro qui sunt, eos omnia qure 
 sunt mundi oblivisci oportere ; atque ea qure sunt 
 cceli et ccelestia duntaxat meditari; memoresque 
 etiam esse debere eorum, in omni oratione et devo- 
 tione, qui collatis eis beneficiis et elemosynis, tale 
 sibi otium pepererunt, ut sine egestate, in suffici- 
 entia rerum necessariarum, Deo servire possint. 
 
 Negligentes, omittentes, deforme'et inconcinnum 
 committentes, a domino Decano quam asperrime 
 corripiantur, et remotids a bonis et diligentibus in 
 loco, abjecturi, seorsiin spectandi ab omnibus statu- 
 antur, ad tempus, ut eos delicti pudeat et poeniteat; 
 nec foras dedignabundis excurrant; sed in Choro, 
 in loco pcenitentire suo assignato, ad Decani arbi- 
 trium maneat; ut discant tandem in Choro nihil 
 impetum nec indecens, nec verbis, nec factis, nec 
 cogitatione. Item fieri debere, si sunt ignorantes, 
 quid agant humiliter discant.

 De Residentibus in Ecclesia S. Pauli. 
 
 Canonici Residents dicuntur a continua resi- 
 dentia in Ecclesia; eos enim oportet in Ecclesia 
 perpetuo residere; nani ad eos totius Ecclesi® cura 
 pertinet. In Clioro exemplum ostendant. In Ca- 
 piiulo frequentissime negotia Ecclesia tractent, rebus 
 Ecclesia; assidue provideant. Qui autem resideat 
 antea in Capitulo, convocatis fratnbus residentibus, 
 profiteatur se residentem fore, atque laudabili more 
 Ecclesia; S. Pauli facturus quod sit boni Residentis. 
 
 Teuipus autem in quo profiteatur, estuna quatuor 
 Vigiliarum, viz. aut Nativitatis, aut Paschae, aut 
 S. Job. Baptist®, aut S. Mich. Archangeli. Videa- 
 tur qui residentiam inchoat, is sanus sit corpore, et 
 incolumis ad cotidianos in Cboro labores perferendos. 
 Si post inchoationem residenti® ®grotaverit, cum 
 misericordia foveatur. 
 
 In primis Residens in Ecclesia S. Pauli nulla alia 
 
 Ecclesifi quacunque resideat ullo modo; id enim 
 faciens, stalim Ecclesia; S. Pauli non residens cen- 
 seatur, et privetur omni fructu et emolumento 
 residentis. Item alibi Residens, si quos perceperit 
 ex Ecclesia Pauli fructus, eos omnes cogatur resti- 
 tuere; nihil enim tarn detestabile est, nec apud 
 Deurn, nec apud homines tam abhominabile, nec 
 certe Ecclesi® tam pestiferum ac perniciosum, quatn 
 professum aliquem in hac Ecclesia, ad Residentiam, 
 eundem alia in Ecclesia quacunque residere. 
 
 Nullus protestationem faciet in Ecclesia; donee 
 plene et clar£ exoneretur ®re alieno. 
 
 Residens autem in domo aliqua, Ecclesia; vicinfi, 
 maneat, et continuo resideat; quo commodiils etad 
 Ecclesiam accedere, et item a Decano ad Capitula 
 et consilia pro rebus et negotiis Ecclesia;, possit 
 accersiri. 
 
 Quid sit Residens in Ecclesia S. Pauli. 
 
 Residere autem in Ecclesia S. Pauli propri& est, 
 pro viribus et facultatibus in domo vicina Ecclesia;, 
 laudabilem et honestam familiam tenere, servos 
 habere bene moratos ; canonicis horis, turn diurnis 
 trim nocturnis interesse. In principalibus festis, et 
 diebus solempnioribus omnibus, omnino horis adesse; 
 aliis autem diebus, et minimum, uni harum quatuor 
 horarum, viz. aut Vesperis et Completorio a 
 principio usque ad finem; aut Prim® a principio 
 usque ad altam missam ; aut .Alt® Miss® a principio 
 usque ad finem. Item Capitulum in quibus res 
 Ecclesia; publica tractatur, semper adesse, et pr®- 
 sentes esse. Publica onera, officia, et labores pro 
 communi Ecclesia utilitate subire; in otio dare 
 operam studiis sapientiam quarere, et fratres, ac 
 Ecclesia clericos verbo Dei pascere: admonere in- 
 feriores cum omni discretione et pietate. 
 
 In Choro dum sint, et orare et psallere, et ea ad 
 qua deputantur, statim cum omni humilitate et 
 reverentia in divino officio peragere, semper et 
 assidu&; Ecclesia honori et utilitati studere ; pro- 
 
 prium lucrum non quarere; commune bonum pra- 
 ferre; concorditer et in charitate cum fratribus 
 vivere ; scandalum evitare; in omnibus pulchrum 
 et gravitatis et virtutis exemplum ostendere. In 
 Ecclesia S. Pauli solum, et nulla alia in Ecclesia 
 inservire. Hac si fecerit, censeatur tunc rite et 
 legitim^ residere, et dignum distributiombus et aliis 
 Ecclesia fructibus et emolumentis ; alioquin re vera 
 inter Residentibus nequaquam numeretur. 
 
 Quando autem fuerit justa causa alicui Residenti, 
 ut ad tempus aliquod absit causa diligentissim^ 
 agnoscatur, et ut videbitur Decano et Capitulo ei 
 abeundi licentia permittatur; et quantum et quam- 
 diu aberit et quando redierit omnia describanlur: 
 in qua concessione licentia, consideret Decanus et 
 Capitulum circumspectissime, ut sic indulgeat ab- 
 sentias; et eo modo, scilicet, quo posset fieri, cum 
 minori Ecclesia detrimento et eis etiam temporibus 
 quibus Residentia absentiam faciliiis Ecclesia ferre 
 poterit. 
 
 De Vicariis Ecclesia S. Pauli. 
 
 VicARit in Ecclesia, quondam triginta fuerunt 
 minores, ad numerum Canonicorum; et habuit 
 quisque Canonicus Vicarium suum. Canonicus 
 quisque sibi de Vicario suo providit, quern obtulit 
 Decano et Capitulo, qui primilm fuit admissus dun- 
 taxat, ut per unum integrum annum probetur : in 
 quo primo anno dedit operam assidu&, ut Psalterium 
 et fere totum quod commune est et usitatum, in Ec¬ 
 clesia, in divino officio memoriter habeat. Post 
 annum probationis, si aptus et idoneus habebatur, 
 
 tunc ad numerum Vicariorumascriptus fuit; sed trim 
 simul jussum omnino, ut statim proximorum ordinuin 
 eollationem, sacros ordines suscipiat, vel diacona- 
 tum, vel sub-diaconatum. 
 
 In domo una inanserunt; communem mensam 
 simul tenuerunt; duos presbyteros, speculatores 
 eorum morum habuerunt; assidue chorum secuti 
 sunt. Assignati ad missam beat® Mari®, ante 
 inchoationem miss®, cotidi& horas div® Mari®, 
 in Capella Virginis reverenter et devote dixerunt.

 Veritua nunc, nescio quo pacto, alius est humerus 
 eorum, et vita alia, et professio laxior, et forma 
 vivendi liber&, nam sex duntaxat numero sunt, et 
 hii quoque vel uxorati, vel tales qui uxores ducere 
 possunt; domum suam non tenent, nec communiter 
 vivunt in domo Vicariorum ; ita tempore mutantur 
 omnia, et facile in deterius degenerant. At hii qui 
 nunc sunt, quales esse debent, videamus. 
 
 Vicarii sint viri honesti, bona; et laudabilis fauiaj, 
 tales qui timent Deum, et homines maxim& qui in 
 Ecelesia S. Pauli serviunt, revereantur: obediunt 
 Decano et Capitulo, et mandatis ac institutionibus 
 eorum : sectenlur Chorum die nocteque habitu 
 congruo, hoc est superciliciis candidis, et capis 
 inlegris. Sint etiam tales qui habent voces sanas 
 et sonoras; qui habent cum voce artem bene ca- 
 nendi, quod examinent et judicent sermonem suam. 
 Ante omnia sint tales qui studeant in Ecelesia S. 
 Pauli benti vivere, bonos mores habere, exemplum 
 honestatis ostendere; humiliter se gerere erga Ca- 
 nonicos ; cum omnibus, maxim£ cum suis sociis in 
 charitate vivere. Vicarii non sint Procuratores; 
 non Altornati; non Testamentorum Executores, nec 
 
 quodvis aliud officium suscipiant, quod eos a divino 
 officio abstrahat et alienat. 
 
 Missae beatje Marise intersint cotidik, ante Ky- 
 rielesion; diligentes in divino officio laudantur; 
 negligentes et corripiantur et castigantur. 
 
 Eaciat Vicarius residentem dominum suum, si 
 absens sit, certiorem de illis rebus Ecclesim quas 
 eum oportet cognoscere; nam est servus et vice 
 gerens Residentis. 
 
 Item deducat et reducat dominum suum Resi¬ 
 dentem, vel ad Ecclesiain euntem vel ab eadem 
 redeuntem. 
 
 Juret in principio admissionis sure, quod obedilur 
 Decano et Capitulo, quod ilium suum dominum et 
 patrem agnoscat; quod admonitiones et prascepta 
 ejus pareat; denique quod delinquentem se corripi 
 et corrigi patiatur. 
 
 Vicarii non exeunt nec.discurrunt ad alias Eccle- 
 sias in diebus festis eorum ; nec ad doraos magna- 
 tum, nec in tabernas sodalium, ut illis in locis tantum 
 
 suum vel ostentant vel vendant; propter du. 
 
 religionis, quam susciperunt in Ecelesia S. Pauli dis- 
 centis eos oportet temperatiils vivere quam caeteri laici. 
 
 De Canonicis mmoribus. 
 
 Sunt in Ecelesia S. Pauli Canonici, qui Minores 
 appellantur; amictum ex calebro utuntur ; quidem 
 hii Sacerdotes oportet, qui loco majorum Canonico- 
 rum vicissim, et sunt successive ad magnum Altare; 
 missas celebrent, quod debent facere, nihil propterea 
 exigentes omnino a majoribus Canonicis, ne suspilio 
 nascatur simoniacaj pravitatis. 
 
 Item Missa beatae Marias, Missa Apostolorum; 
 Missa Capitularum ad eos pertinet officio vici- 
 citudinario ; in quibus omnibus, alius alium impe- 
 ditum adjuvet, libenter et fraterniter, sicut voluit 
 se impeditos adjuvari. Chorum assidu& et diligen- 
 ter sectentur, thm diebus, turn noctibus, agnoscentes 
 se quidem ad id maxime astrictos et obligatos esse. 
 
 Elegantur Minores Canonici, ex ministris ejus- 
 dem Ecclesim, si fieri potest. Si qui sint qui eli- 
 gantur idonei. Plabeat minor Canonicus, ante 
 omnia, bonam vitam et mores, bonam vocem, sanam, 
 et placentem, bonam artem canendi, qua vocem 
 
 dirigat suam in honorem Dei. Sit memor se, supra 
 Sacerdotem, Canonicum esse in Ecelesia S. Pauli; 
 et supra habitum Sacerdotis, Canonicalem habitum 
 portare, qui revera est habitus sanctitatis et reli¬ 
 gionis ; ac propterea studeat vivere meliori modo 
 quam communes alii Sacerdotes, agnoscens se in 
 Ecelesia S. Pauli esse, ut exemplum sanctioris vitae, 
 aliis in civitate sacerdotibus, ostendat. 
 
 Minor Canonicus non frequentet tabernas, nec 
 vinales, nec cervisiales: Suspectas domos non in- 
 grediatur; cum suspectis personis non confabuletur; 
 castitatem teneat; omni honestati studeat, reveren- 
 tiam exhibeat Canonicis majoribus : cum equalibus 
 suis, viz. cum minoribus Canonicis in charitate ma- 
 neat. Minor Canonicus, nec domum suam, nec 
 quam ipsius partem locet, nisi alicui ex Ecelesia, 
 qui est ex habitu. Si quis sit qui velit earn con- 
 ducere, maxime autem locet earn Minori Canonico, 
 si sit ex eis qui velit earn inhabitare. 
 
 De Capellanis. 
 
 Sunt pneterea in Ecelesia S. Pauli sacerdotes, 
 qui Cantarias habent; qui progressu temporis,devo- 
 tione diversorum hominum, introducti fuerant in 
 Ecclesiain, ad augendum, et amplificandum honorem 
 Dei: quorum quidam secutores Chori; quidam 
 coadjutores; quidam aliis nominibus sortiuntur: 
 omnes autem ad assignata sibi Altaria celebrent. 
 Celebratur autem candidis superpelliciis induti, 
 
 accedant ad Altare ; et super ea sacerdotalia vesti- 
 menta induanl: celebrent autem cotidi£, quatenus 
 possunt, ne debitis suffragiis suos fundatores defrau- 
 dent. Caveant ne alieni et extranei sacerdotes ad 
 sua Altaria Missas dicere assueseant, et tales inge- 
 rentes se, vetent et arceant, donee in ea re volun- 
 tatem Decani et Capituli intellexerint. Ipsi autem 
 Sacerdotes etiam omnes, suis stipendiis contenti. 
 
354 
 
 2tppenDt;c in i^tstortant 
 
 alia aut annua servicia, aut subsidia, aut trigintalia, 
 aut quodvis aliud ejusmodi, quocunque nomine cen- 
 seatur, non accipiant ab alienis extraneis personis, 
 ut pro illis celebrent, sub quocunque colore; abler 
 autetn si fecerint, ad arbitrium Decani et Capituli 
 de slipendiis eorum, pro poena aliqua, portio detra- 
 liatur. 
 
 Omnes majoribus festis intersint, divino officio, 
 Malutinis, Primis, Missis, Vesperis. Chorum autem 
 sectautes qui sunt ii qui dies noctesque divino 
 
 officio.obligantur, omnes una in Collegio S. 
 
 Petri maneant et commeant, et cameram et men- 
 sam illic teneant. Antequam admittentur, exaini- 
 nentur a succentore, vel ab altero cardinalium, si 
 convenientem facultatem canendi habeant, quo pos- 
 sint cotidianis laboribus Chori subvenire, alioquin 
 omnino repellatur. 
 
 In funeribus omnium, qui sunt ex habitu in Ec- 
 clesia S. Pauli, ac in toto funebri officio eorum, 
 
 omnes Sacerdotes et Capellani omninb ex pura 
 eorum caritate, prssentes sint, et pro defuncto 
 orent; memores morituros esse seipsos; ac faci- 
 entes, ut, in simili casu, velint alios pro se facere. 
 
 Nemo habens beneficium Ecclesiasticura, vel 
 aliud quodcunque, quod personalem residenliam 
 requirat, admittatur ad perpetuam Cantariam in Ec- 
 clesia S. Pauli; tabs admissio, si qua tuerit, semper 
 pro nullo habeatur. Item quando aliquis sacerdotum 
 Cantaristarum capellanorum, vel ad beneficium, vel 
 aliud quodcunque quod personalem residentiam de- 
 siderat, vocetur, e vestigio, ejiciatur ab Ecclesia; et 
 ad id, ad quod vocatus est, statim ire compellatur. 
 Omnes habentes Cantarias unitas, sectent Chorum 
 cotidib, pariter cum aliis sectatoribus, ut pro ex- 
 aucto emolumento, exaugeatur labor ; et juramento 
 in admissione eorum astringantur, ut in domo Col- 
 legii S. Petri, iu mensa cum aliis commeant, et suis 
 illic cameris condormiant. 
 
 De Obitibus. 
 
 Obitibus autem judicentur in Capitulo, quod 
 fient; si verb justa causa differatur, ostendatur tunc 
 in quern diem differatur, ut qui velint et possint 
 interesse, intelligant; utque intelligentes, si possint 
 et velint intersint; nam in subsidium defunctorum 
 Obilus, mullitudine suffragiorum celebres esse de¬ 
 bent. Distributio autem in Obitibus, fiat eis dun- 
 taxat, qui praesentes sunt. 
 
 Stagiarii autem propterea, qui onus Ecclesis sus- 
 
 tinent, plus duplo quam alii percipient, nisi voluntas 
 testatoris Canonicis simul Residentibus, et non Re- 
 sidentibus squalitatem diffiniat; tunc quidem om¬ 
 nino voluntas ultima Testatoris sanctb observetur. 
 Portio autem dupla ilia, si qua contingat, ad Sta- 
 giarium quemcunque nequaquam pertineat, nisi prs- 
 sens fuerit ipse, ita ut videri et conspici in Choro 
 possit. Distributio autem fiat, finita et perl’ecta 
 Missfi, ea, qus est pro defunctis.

 Exliibita k Johanne Collet Decano, reverendissimo Patri et Domino Cardinali Eboe. 
 ac Apostolico Legato a latere, pro Reformation Status Residentiariorum in Ecclesia S, Pault,

 De Decano et ejus A ut or it ate 
 
 Secundum antiqua Ecclesias Statuta S. Pauli, 
 Decanus omnibus Canonicis, Presbyteris, Vicariis, 
 ministris prasest, autoritate et potestate ordinaria et 
 immediala. 
 
 Is regimen habet animarum. 
 
 Huic est jurisdictio et correctio delinquentium 
 quorumcunque in Ecclesia, et obstinatorum ac 
 rebellium justa castigatio. 
 
 Is omnes causas ad Capitulum spectantes et 
 audit, et consilio Capituli diffinit; et si qua fuerit 
 ardua in quibus periculuin Ecclesias imminere possit, 
 et quando aliqua testanda sunt communi Sigillo, 
 tunc Decanus non consilio solum Residenciariorum, 
 sed etiam assensu utatur. 
 
 Ei intranti et eunti per Chorum et Capitulum 
 omnes assurgunt. 
 
 In Stallo suo dum sit, reverenter inclinent omnes, 
 
 , ex antiquo Registro Ecclesice. 
 quocienscunque Chorum, vel in parte occidental, 
 vel orientale ingrediuntur, vel egrediuntur. 
 
 Is primu3 sedet, primus loquitur, in omnibus pri¬ 
 mus est. 
 
 In processionibus solus et ultimus, in medio 
 incedit. 
 
 In solenmioribus diebus ejus adventus ad Eccle- 
 siam expectetur, si venire voluerit; et in Dominicis 
 diebus cpgnoscatur voluntas ejus, si ad aspersionem 
 aquas venire voluerit, et si voluerit expectetur. 
 
 Is, absente Episcopo, dicit “ Confiteor” in Choro; 
 et Sacerdoti lecturo Evangelium dat benedictionem. 
 
 In Stallo suo stans thurificetur. 
 
 Item lecturus Lectionem in stallo suo earn legat, 
 puero Iibrum ei ministranti. 
 
 Omnes Decano obediant, ac debitam ei reveren- 
 tiam exhibeant in Choro et Capitulo, et omni alio loco. 
 
Decanus in primis in Ecclesia resideat secundilm 
 ordinationem Domini Warham Episcopi, qui in 
 plena Visitatione sua ordinavit, ut Decanus sacerdos 
 sit omnino et resideat, alioquin pro nullo Decano 
 habeatur. Quaraobrem ante omnia pro bono statu

 De aliis quatuor Residcntibus. 
 
 Quia patrimonium S. Pauli exile est, et onera 
 sunt multa et gravia, idcirco statuimus et ordina- 
 mus, ut sub Decano residente sint alii Residentes 
 quatuor, et tantum quatuor ex Canonicis ejusdem 
 Ecclesi®, tales scilicet qui vitas probitate, et morum 
 houestate et prudential laude excellentiore3 sunt. 
 
 Quum verb aliquis sese sua sponte obtulerit ad 
 Residenciam, consideretur ratio vivendi sua, et sapi- 
 entia, et honestas, et non admittatur ad residentiam 
 ullo pacto, nisi virtus et probitas ejus respondent. 
 Warn quum quatuor duntaxat sint Residentes, valde 
 curandum est, ut hii boni viri et sapientes sint, ut 
 paucitas numeri, pondere et gravitate personarum 
 recompensetur. Cauturn est in antiquis Statutis 
 ctiam ut volens residere, corpore sanus sit. 
 
 Qui residere voluerit, veniat is ex antiquo 
 more Ecclesi® in propria persona sua ad Ecclesiam 
 
 S. Pauli, in una quatuor Vigiliarum, vel Michaelis, 
 vel Natalis, vel Pasch®, vel Joannis Baptist®, et 
 offerat se in Capitulo Decano, vel ejus Locum 
 tenenti, et Residentibus, et si in eum consenserit 
 Decanus cum majori parte Residenciariorum admit¬ 
 tatur ad Residenciam, prius posita coram Decano 
 tunc in eodem loco surnma centum marcarum, 
 secundum ordinationem Martini Pap®; et eadem 
 summa secundbm formam quara tradidit idem Mar- 
 tinus in sua Bulla expendatur. Si verb nullus se 
 obtulerit ad residentiam, tunc invitetur aliquis, et 
 rogetur ex laudatioribus Canonicis, ut velit residere 
 ad honorem Dei et Ecclesi®. In quern verb con¬ 
 senserit Decanus cum majore parte Resideuciari- 
 orum, is Residens habeatur. Invitatus et nolens 
 residere, aliqua pama pecuniaria multetur. 
 
 Residentia solum in Ecclesia S. Pauli.

 distributione eo die quo sic interfuerit, denarii tres- 
 decem : et hac distributio fiat, et solvatur prasen-

 sabbato. 
 
 Et eo die quo non interfuerit, nec praesens fuerit 
 
 in Choro in habitu suo, modo supradicto, carebit 
 ilia distributione denariorum tresdecem: et tunc 
 illi tresdecem denarii distribuentur reliquis residen¬

 De Dispensationibus. 
 
 Adhuc ex priefato cartaceo Registro. 
 
 Quia Dispensationes sunt (ut vocant Juris-periti) 
 Legis et Statutorum plana vulnerationes, iccirco 
 ordinamus et statuimus, ut in hiis nostris Statutis, 
 aut aliqua parte earum, neque liceat ullo in tempore 
 Decano et Capitulo, aut eo absente, qui locum ejus 
 tenet, dispensare, et eadem aliquo pacto relaxare 
 sine consensu nostro, dum vivimus, et post nos sine 
 consensu domini Papa, cujus auctoritate hac ordi- 
 navimus ejus Legatus a latere; ac etiam domini 
 Regis Fundatoris Ecclesia, et domini Episcopi 
 London. Et statuimus, ut multiim minus liceat 
 
 Capitulo Residentiariorum sine capite suo Decano, 
 et sine pradicta etiam auctoritate, in hiis statutis, 
 aut in aliqua eorum parte dispensare; quoniam ex 
 talibus dispensationibus frequentatis a Residenti- 
 ariis una convenientibus inter se superioribus tem- 
 poribus, enervata etdissoluta sunt Leges et Statuta 
 Ecclesiaa S. Pauli; et tales iniqua dispensationes a 
 Residentibus pro legibus fuerunt habita; ex quibus, 
 si non adhibitum fuisset remedium in tenjpore, om- 
 nino Ecclesia secuta esset subversio.

 The Privy Council’s Letter to Bishop Bonner, for the Reformation of certain Masses 
 
 at St. Paul’s. 
 
 Wilk. Concil. tom. iv. p. 34. 
 
 After hearty commendations, having very cre¬ 
 dible notice that within that your Cathedral church 
 there be as yet the Apostles Mass and Our Ladies 
 Masse, and other Masses of such peculiar names, 
 under the defence and commination of Our Ladies 
 Communion, and the Apostles’ Communion, used 
 in private Chapels and other remote places of the 
 same, and not in the Chancel, contrary to the 
 King’s Majesty’s proceedings, the same being for 
 the misuse displeasing to God ; for the place, Pauls, 
 in example not tolerable, for the fondness of the 
 name a scorn to the reverence of the communion 
 of the Lord’s body and blood : we, for the augment¬ 
 ation of God’s honour and glory, and the conso¬ 
 nance of His Majesty’s laws, and the avoiding of 
 murmur, have thought good to will and command 
 you, that from henceforth no such Masses in this 
 manner be in your church any longer used, but 
 that the holy blessed communion, according to the 
 Act of Parliament, be ministred at the high Altar 
 
 of the church, and in no other places of the same; 
 and only at such time as your high Masses were 
 wont to be used, except some number of people 
 desire (for their necessary business) to have a com¬ 
 munion in the morning, and yet the same to be 
 executed at the chancel at the high Altar, as it 
 is appointed in the book of the public service, 
 without cautele or digression from the common 
 order. And herein you shall not only satisfy our 
 expectation of your conformity in all lawful things, 
 but also avoid the murmur of sundry, that be 
 therewith justly offended, and so we bid your 
 Lordship heartily farewel.

 Right Worshipful, 
 
 With most hearty commendations, so it is, this 
 Wednesday the 26 th of June, going to dinner, 
 I received letters from the King’s Council by a 
 pursevant; and the same do I send now herewith 
 unto you, to the intent you may peruse them 
 
 well, and proceed accordingly; praying you in 
 case all be not present, yet those that be now resi¬ 
 dent and supplying the places, may in their absence 
 call the company together of the church, and make 
 declaration hereof unto them. Thus committing 
 you to God right well to fare. Written with speed, 
 this six and twentieth of June, at one of the clock. 
 
 Your loving Brother,

 The Petition of the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul’s, London, about the Archbishop of 
 Canterbury’s Visitation. With His Majesty’s Answer. 
 
 Wilk. Concil. tom. iv. p. 524. ex Reg. Laud. fol. 163. a. 
 
 To the King’s Most Excellent Majesty. 
 
 The bumble Petition of the Dean and Chapter 
 of the Cathedral Church of St. Paul, London, 
 humbly sheweth unto your sacred Majesty, that 
 whereas the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury his 
 Grace, by his summons to that purpose, directed 
 to us the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul, hath 
 signified His Grace’s purpose, by his metropolitical 
 power, to visit the said Church. 
 
 And whereas it doth not appear by any records 
 belonging to His Grace or the Church, that the 
 Dean and Chapter have ever been visited by any 
 metropolitical power, notwithstanding the rest of 
 the Diocese hath been so visited. 
 
 And whereas the said Dean and Chapter do 
 acknowledge that they hold immediately from 
 your Majesty all their privileges, which they take 
 themselves bound by oath to preserve entire, so 
 far as in them lieth; but withal most tender in 
 all things to shew themselves obedient to your 
 Majesty’s pleasure, and the present government 
 of the Church;' do humbly beseech your Majesty 
 you would be graciously pleased to take the pre¬ 
 misses into your Royal consideration, and to give 
 
 such order herein, as your Majesty in your 
 wisdom shall think fit. 
 
 And your Petitioners, as in all duty they are 
 bound, shall ever pray, 8tc. 
 
 At the Court at Whitehall, April 27. M.DC.XXXVI. 
 
 “ His Majesty approves well of the modesty of 
 the Petitioners, but withall is resolved, for the settle¬ 
 ment of Pehce and goo'd Order in the Church, that 
 no place, without special grounds of privilege, shall 
 be exempt from archiepiscopal visitation, and least 
 of all this Church of St. Paul, in regard it appears 
 by their own suggestions that the rest of the Diocese 
 hath been visited; and ‘ de Jure ordinario’ it is 
 known, that the Archbishop or Bishop ought to 
 begin his Visitation at the Cathedral, and they 
 can shew no act in any their Registers, that the 
 Archbishops did not visit the Church at the same 
 time when they visited the Diocese; and therefore 
 His Majesty requires submission of the Dean and 
 Chapter to the Visitation of the present Archbishop 
 of Canterbury and of his successors, and wills that 
 this be registred both in the Archbishop’s Office 
 and in their own accordingly. 
 
 John Coke.”

THE 
 
 DAUNCE OF MACHABREE: 
 
 WHEREIN IS LIVELY EXPRESSED AND SHEWED THE STATE OF MANNE, AND HOW HE IS 
 CALLED AT UNCERTAYNE TYMES BY DEATH, AND WHEN IIE 
 THINKETH LEAST THEREON: 
 
 MADE BY 
 
 DAN JOHN LYDGATE, 
 
 MONK OF S. EDMUNDS BURY. 
 
 THE PROLOGE. 
 
 O ye folkes hard hearted as a stone, 
 
 Which to the world have all your advertence. 
 Like as it should ever lasten in one. 
 
 Where is your wit, where is your providence, 
 To seen aforne the sodayn violence 
 Of cruel death that be so wise and sage, 
 Which slayeth, alas, by stroke or pestilence 
 Both young and old of low and high parage. 
 
 Death spareth nought low ne high degre, 
 Popes, Kings, ne worthy Eraperours, 
 
 When they shine most in felicity 
 He can abate the freshness of her flours, 
 
 Her bright Sun clipsen with his shours, 
 
 Make them plunge fro her sees lowe. 
 
 Mauger the might of all these Conquerours, 
 Fortune hath them from her whele ythrow. 
 
 Considereth this ye folkes that been wise, 
 And it imprinteth in your memorial, 
 
 Like thensample which that at Parise, 
 
 I fonde depict ones in a wall 
 Full notably as I rehearse shall, 
 
 Of a French Clerke taking acquaintance, 
 
 I took on me to translaten all 
 
 Out of the French Macchabrees daunce. 
 
 By whose advise and counsail at the last, 
 Through her stiering and her motion, 
 
 I obeyed unto her request 
 Thereof to make a playn translacyou 
 
 In English tonge, of entencion 
 That proud folkes that been stout and bolde, 
 As in a mirrour toforne in her reason 
 Her ugly tine there clearly may behold. 
 
 By ensample that thei in her entents, 
 Amend her life in every inaner age. 
 
 The which Daunce at Saint Innocents, 
 Portrayed is with all the surplusage; 
 
 Yoven unto us our lives to correct, 
 
 And to declare the fine of our passage, 
 
 Right anone my stile I will direct 
 To shew this world is but a pilgrimage. 
 
 The End of the Prologe. 
 
 The Words of the Translator. 
 
 O Creatures ye that been reasonable, 
 The life desiring which is eternal, 
 
 Ye may seen heer doctrine full notable 
 Your life to lead, which that is mortal. 
 Thereby to learne in special 
 How ye shall trace the daunce of Machabree, 
 To man and woman ylike natural. 
 
 For death ne spareth high ne losv degree. 
 
 In this myrrour every wight may fynde, 
 That him behoveth to gone upon this daunce, 
 Who goeth toforne, or who shall go behind, 
 All dependeth in Goddes ordinance; 
 Wherefore lowly every man his chance. 
 
 Death spareth not poor, ne yet Blood-royal I, 
 Every man therfore have this in remembrance, 
 Of oo matter God hath yforgetl all.

 Death fyrst speaketh unto the Pope, and after 
 to every Degree, as followeth. 
 
 Ye that been set most in high dignity, 
 
 Of all estates in earth spiritual, 
 
 And like as Peter hath the soveraintee 
 Over the church and states temporal!. 
 
 Upon this daunce ye first begin shall, 
 
 As most worthy lord and governour, 
 
 For all the worship of your estate Papall, 
 
 And of Lordship to God is the honour. 
 
 The Pope maketh aunszeer. 
 
 Fyrst me behoveth this daunce for to lede, 
 Which sat in earth highest in my See, 
 
 The state full perillous who so taketh heed, 
 
 To occupie Peters dignity ; 
 
 But for all that death I may not flee, 
 
 On this daunce with other for to trace, 
 
 For which all honour who prudently can see, 
 
 Is little worth that doth so soon passe. 
 
 Death speaketh to the Emperour. 
 
 Syr Emperour, lord of all the ground, 
 Sovereine prince and highest of noblesse. 
 
 Ye mot forsake of gold your apple round, 
 Scepter and swerd, and all your high prowesse ; 
 Behind letten your treasour and your riches, 
 And with other to my daunce obey 
 Against my might is worth none hardinesse, 
 Adams children all they must deye. 
 
 The Emperour maketh aunszeer. 
 
 I note to whom that I may appeal 
 Touching death which doth me so constrein, 
 There is no gin to helyen my querell 
 But spade and pickoys my grave to atteyne; 
 
 A simple sheet there is no more to seyn, 
 
 Tq wrappen in my body and visage, 
 Whereupon sore I me compleyne. 
 
 That great Lordes have little auvantage.

 Death speaketh to the Cardinal. 
 
 Ye been abashed it seemeth and in drede, 
 Syr Cardynal it sheweth by your chere, 
 
 But yet forthy ye follow shall indeed, 
 
 With other folke my daunce for to lere, 
 
 Your great aray all shall leaven here. 
 
 Your hat of red, your vesture of great cost. 
 
 All these thinges reckoned vvell in fear. 
 
 In great honour good advise is lost. 
 
 The Cardinal makcth aunswer. 
 
 I have great cause, certes this is no faile, 
 To be abashed and greatly dread me 
 Sith death is come me sodainly to assaile 
 That 1 shall never hereafter clothed be 
 In grise nor ermine like unto my degree. 
 
 Mine hat of red leuen eke in distresse, 
 
 By which I have learned well and see. 
 
 How that all joy endeth in heavinesse. 
 
 Death speaketh to the King. 
 
 O noble King, most worthy of renoune, 
 Come forth anon for all your worthines, 
 
 That whilom had about you environ 
 Great royalty and passing bye noblesse: 
 
 But right anon all your great highnesse. 
 
 Sole from your men in haste ye shall it lete, 
 Who most aboundeth here in great riches 
 Shall bear with him but a shete. 
 
 The King maketh aunswer. 
 
 I have nought learnd here toforne to dance, 
 No daunce insooth of footing so savage, 
 Where through I see by cleer demonstrance, 
 What pride is worth or force of high linage; 
 Death all fordoth, this is his usage, 
 
 Great and small that in this world sojourne, 
 "Who is most meek I hold him most sage. 
 
 For we shall all to the dead ashes tourne. 
 
 Death speaketh to the Patriarclie. 
 
 Sir Patriarclie all your humble cheer 
 Ne quiteth you nought nor your humility, 
 Your double cross of Gold and Stones cleer. 
 Your power whole, and all your dignity, 
 
 Some other shall of very equity 
 Possede anon as I rehearse can, 
 
 Trusteth never that ye shall Pope be 
 For holy hope deceiveth many a man. 
 
 The Patriarch maketh aunswer. 
 
 AVorldly honour, gret tresour and riches, 
 Have me deceived soothfastly indeed. 
 
 Mine old joyes been turned into tristesse, 
 What availeth such treasures to possede ? 
 
 It climbeth up, a fall hath for its mede, 
 
 Great estates folke wasten out of number, 
 
 Who mounteth high it is sure, and no drede, 
 Great burthen doth him oft encumber. 
 
 Death speaketh to the Constable. 
 
 It is my right to arest you and constreyne 
 With us to dance my master sir Constable, 
 
 For more stronger than ever was Charlemain 
 Death hath afforced and more worshipable. 
 
 For hadines ne knighthood this is no fable, 
 
 Nor strong armure of plates nother of maile, 
 What gayneth armes of folke most notable, 
 When cruel death list him to assaile. 
 
 The Constable maketh aunswer *. 
 
 My purpose was and whole intention 
 To assail Castles and mighty Fortresses, 
 
 And bring folke unto subjection; 
 
 To seek honour, fame, and great richesse, 
 
 But I see that all worldly prowesse 
 Death can abate, which is a great despite. 
 
 To him alone sorrow and eke sweetnesse, 
 
 For against death is found no respite. 
 
 Death speaketh to the Archbishop. 
 
 Syr Archbishop, why do you withdraw. 
 
 So frowardly, as it were by disdain ? 
 
 Ye must approach to my mortall law. 
 
 It to contrare it were nought but in vayne, 
 
 For day by day there is none other gayne, 
 
 Death at the hand pursueth every coast, 
 
 Prest and debte mot be yelde againe, 
 
 And at a day men counten with her host. 
 
 The Archbishop maketh aunswer. 
 
 All as I wote not to what party for to flee, 
 For dread of death I have so gret distresse, 
 
 To escape his might I can no refute see. 
 
 That who so knevt his constraint and duresse, 
 He would take reason to maistresse, 
 
 Adue my treasour, my pornpe, and pride also, 
 My painted cliembers, my port and my freshnes. 
 Thing that behoveth nedes mot be do. 
 
 Death speaketh to the Baron. 
 
 Ye that among Lords and Barons, 
 
 Have had so long worship and renowne. 
 
 For yet your trumpets and your clarions, 
 
 This is no dreame nor simulacion, 
 
 Whilom your custom and entencion, 
 
 Was with Ladies to daunsen in the shade, 
 
 But oft it happeth in conclusion 
 One man breaketh that another made.

 The Baron maketh aunswer . 
 
 Full oft sith I have been auctorised. 
 
 To high enprises and things of gret fame, 
 
 Of high and low my thank also devised, 
 Cherishd with Ladies and women high of name, 
 He never one me was put no defame. 
 
 In Lords of Court which that was notable, 
 
 But deaths stroke hath made me lame, 
 
 Under heaven in earth is nothing stable. 
 
 Death speaketli to the Princess. 
 
 Come forth anon my Lady good Princess 
 Ye must also gon upon this daunce. 
 
 Nought may avayle your great straungeness. 
 Neither your beauty nor your gret pleasance, 
 Your rich aray nother your dalliance, 
 
 That whilom couth so many hold in bond 
 In love for all your double variance 
 Ye mot as now this footing understond. 
 
 The Princess maketh aunswer. 
 
 Alas I see there is none other boot, 
 
 Death hath in earth no lady nor mastres, 
 
 And on this daunce yet mot I nedes fote, 
 
 For there nis Queen, Countess, ne Dutchess, 
 Flouring in bounty, nor in her fayrness 
 That shooe of death mot passe the passage, 
 When our beauty and counterfeit fairness 
 Dieth, adue then our rimpled age. 
 
 Death speaketli to the Bishop. 
 
 My Lord sir Bishop, with Miter and Cross, 
 For all your riches soothly I ensure, 
 
 For all your treasure kept in closse 
 Your worldly goods, and goods of nature, 
 
 Of your sheep the dreadfull ghostly cure, 
 
 With charge committed to your prelacy. 
 
 For to accompt ye shall be brought to lure. 
 
 No wight is sure that climbeth over high. 
 
 The Bishop maketh aunsxvcr. 
 
 Mine heart truly is nother glad ne rnery, 
 
 Of sodein tidinges which that ye bring, 
 
 My feast is turned into simple fery. 
 
 That for discomfort me list nothing syng ; 
 
 The world contraries to me now in working, 
 That all folks can so disherit, 
 
 He all with halt (alas) at our parting, 
 
 All thing shall pass, save only our merit. 
 
 Death speaketh to the Squire. 
 
 Come forth sir Squire right fresh of your aray, 
 That con of daunces all the new guise. 
 
 If ye bate harnes freshly horsed yesterday, 
 
 With spere and shield at your uncouth devise, 
 
 And took on you so many high emprise, 
 Daunseth with us it will no better be, 
 
 There is no succour in no maner wise, 
 
 For no man may fro deaths stroke flee. 
 
 The Squire maketh aunswer. 
 
 Sithence that death holdelh me in his lase, 
 Yet shall [ speak oo word ere I passe, 
 
 Adue all mirth, adue now all solace, 
 
 Adue my Ladies whilom so fresh of face, 
 
 Adue beauty, pleasaunce, and all solace, 
 
 Of deaths chaunge every day is prime, 
 
 Think on your souls ere the death manace, 
 
 For all shall rot, and no man wot what time. 
 
 Death speaketh to the Abbot. 
 
 Come forth sir Abbot with your brode hat, 
 Beetli nought abasht, if ye haven right, 
 
 Great is your head, your belly large and fat, 
 Ye mot come daunce if ye be nothing light. 
 Leaveth your abbey to some other wight. 
 
 Your heyre is of age your state to occupie, 
 Who that is fattest I have him behight, 
 
 In his grave shall soonest putrifie. 
 
 The Abbot maketh aunswer. 
 
 Of these threts have I none envie. 
 
 That I shall now leave all the governance 
 But that I shall as a cloysterer dye, 
 
 This death is to me passing gret grievaunce, 
 My liberty nor my great habundaunce, 
 
 What may they availe in any maner wise. 
 
 Yet aske 1 mercy with heartely repentance, 
 
 If in dying to late men them avise. 
 
 Death speaketh to the Abbesse. 
 
 And ye my Lady gentle dame Abbesse, 
 With your mantles furred large and wide. 
 Your veil, your wimple passing of gret riches, 
 And bedes (sister) you mot not leyn on side, 
 For to this daunce I shall be your guide, 
 
 If ye be tender borne of gentle blood, 
 
 Whiles that you live for your self provide, 
 
 For after death no man hath no good. 
 
 The Abbesse maketh aunswer. 
 
 Alas that death hath thus for me ordaind, 
 That in no wise I may it nought decline, 
 
 If it be so, full oft I have constraind, 
 
 Brest and throte my notes out to twine, 
 
 My chekes round garnished for to shine, 
 Ungird full oft to walken at the large, 
 
 Thus cruel death with all estates flue, 
 
 Who hath no ship must row in bote or barge. 
 
Death speaketh to the Bayly. 
 
 Come forth sir Bayly that know all guise, 
 By your office of trouth and rightwiseness, 
 
 Ye must come to a new assise, 
 
 Extortions and wrongs to redresse; 
 
 Ye be somned as law biddeth expresse, 
 
 To yeve accompts the judge will you charge, 
 Which hath ordained to excluden all falsnes, 
 That every man shall bear his own charge. 
 
 The Bayly maketh aunswer. 
 
 O thou Lord God this is a hard journey, 
 
 To which aforn l took but little hede, 
 
 My chance is turned, and that forethinketh me, 
 Whilom with Judges what me list to spede. 
 Lay in my might by labeur oft for mede, 
 
 But sith there is no rescus by battayle, 
 
 I hold him wise that couth well seen in dede, 
 Again death that none apel may vayl. 
 
 Death speaketh to the Astronomer. 
 
 Come forth master that lookest up so high 
 With instruments of Astronomy, 
 
 To take the grees and height of every starre, 
 What may availe all your astrology ? 
 
 Sith of Adam all the genealogie, 
 
 Made first of God to walk upon the ground, 
 Death with arest thus saith Theologie, 
 
 And all shall dye for an apple round. 
 
 The Astronomer maketh aunswer. 
 
 For all my craft, cunning, or science, 
 
 I can nought find no provision, 
 
 Nother in the stars search out no difference. 
 By domifying or calculation. 
 
 Save finally in conclusion, 
 
 For to describe our cunning every dele, 
 
 There is no more by sentence of reason, 
 
 Who liveth aright mot nedes dye wele. 
 
 Death speaketh to the Burgis. 
 
 Syr Burgis what do you long tary, 
 
 For all your avoyry and your gret riches, 
 
 If ye be strong, deinous, and contrary, 
 Towards this dance ye mot you nedes dress. 
 For of all tresour, plenty, and largesse, 
 
 From other it came, and shall unto strangers: 
 He is a foole that in such business, 
 
 Wot nought for whom he stuffeth his garners. 
 
 The Burgis maketh aunszver. 
 
 Certes to me it is great displeasaunce, 
 
 To leave all this, and mai it nought assure, 
 How these rents, treasour, and substance, 
 Death all fordoth such is his nature; 
 
 The Chanon maketh aunswer. 
 
 My benefice with mony personage 
 God wot ful lite may me now comfort, 
 
 Death hath of me so gret advauntage, 
 
 That all my riches may me nought disport, 
 Amisse of gris they will ayein resort, 
 
 Unto the world a surpless and prebend, 
 
 All is vainglory truely to report, 
 
 To dyen well, each man should entend. 
 
 Death speaketh to the Marchant. 
 
 Ye rich marchant ye mot look hitherward, 
 That passed have full many divers lond. 
 
 On horse and foot, having most regard 
 To lucre and winning as I understond, 
 
 But now to dance you mot give me your hond, 
 For all your labour full litle avayleth now, 
 
 Adue vainglory both of free and bond, 
 
 None more covet then thei that have ynough. 
 
 The Marchant maketh aunswer. 
 
 By many a hill, and many a strong vale 
 I have travailed with many marchandise, 
 
 Over the sea down carrie many a bale, 
 
 To sondry lies more then I can devise: 
 
 Mine heart inward ay fretteth with covetise, 
 
 But all for nought now death doth me constrein, 
 For which I see by record of the wise, 
 
 Who all embraceth litle shal constrein. 
 
 Death speaketh to the Chartreux. 
 
 Yeve me your hond with cheke dead and pale 
 Caused of watch and long abstinence, 
 
 Sir Chartreux and your self availe. 
 
 Unto this daunce with humble patience. 
 
 To strive ayein may be no resistance, 
 
 Lenger to live set nought your memory, 
 
 If I be lothsome as in appearance, 
 
 Above all men death hath the victory.

 And every man be he never so strong, 
 
 Dreadeth to dye by kindly motion, 
 
 After his fleshly inclination; 
 
 But please to God my soul to borrow, 
 
 Fro friends might and fro damnation, 
 
 Some arne to day that shall nought be to morrow. 
 
 Death speaketh to the Sergeant. 
 
 Come forth sir Sergeant with your stately mase, 
 Make no defence nor rebellion, 
 
 It may nought avail to grutchen in this case, 
 
 If ye be deyners of condition ; 
 
 For neither pele nor protection 
 
 May you fraunchise to do nature wrong, 
 
 For there is none so sturdy champion, 
 
 If he be mighty, another is also strong.

 How dare this death set on me arest, 
 
 That am the kings chosen officer, 
 
 Which yesterday both East and West, 
 
 Mine office did full surquedous of chere. 
 
 But now this day I am arested here, 
 
 And can nought flee, if I had it sworne, 
 
 Every man is loth to dye both farre and nere 
 That hath nought learned for to be ded aforn.

 Ye may no lenger hold here sojoure, 
 
 There is nothing that may you here respite, 
 
 Agein my might you for to do succour. 
 
 Ye mot accompt touching your labour,

 To earth and ashes turneth every flourc, 
 
 The life of man is but a thing of nought. 
 
 The Monk maketh aunswer. 
 
 I had leaver in the cloyster be 
 At my book and study my service, 
 
 Which is a place contemplatif to see, 
 
 But l have spent my life in mony wise, 
 
 Like as a foole dissolute and nice; 
 
 God of his mercy grant me repentance, 
 
 By chere outward hard is to devise 
 
 All be not merry which that men see daunce. 
 
 Death speaketh to the Usurer. 
 
 Thou Usurer looke up and behold, 
 
 Unto thy winning thou settest ay thy paine, 
 
 Whose covetise never waxeth cold, 
 
 Thy gredy thrust so sore doth the constrein. 
 
 But thou shalt never to thy desyre attaiue, 
 
 Such an Etick thy heart freten shall, 
 
 But that of pity God his honde refraine 
 One perilous stroke will make thee losen all. 
 
 The Usurer maketh aunswer. 
 
 Now behoveth sodeinly to dye, 
 
 Which is to me great paine and eke grevatice. 
 Succour to fynde I see no maner way, 
 
 Of gold nor silver by none chevisance. 
 
 Death through his hast abideth no purveiance 
 Of folkes blinde, that can nought loke well, 
 
 Full oft happeth by kinde of fatall chaunce, 
 Some have fayre eyen that see never adell. 
 
 The Poor Man borroweth of the Usurer. 
 
 Vsurer to God is full great offence 
 And in his sight a great abusion, 
 
 The poor borroweth percase for indigence, 
 
 The rich lend by false collusion, 
 
 Onely for lucre in his intention. 
 
 Death shall both to accompts fet, 
 
 To make reckoning by computation, 
 
 No, no man is quit that is behind of dette. 
 
 Death speaketh to the Physitian. 
 
 Master of Phisike which on your urine, 
 
 So loke and gase and stare against the sun, 
 
 For all your craft and study of medicine, 
 
 All the practike and science that ye cun. 
 
 Your life course so far forth is yrunne. 
 
 Aye in my might your craft may not endure, 
 For all the gold that thereby you have wunne. 
 Good leech is he that himself can recure.

 Full long agon that I unto Phisike

 In speculatife, and also in practike, 
 
 To great a name through mine excellence. 
 
 To fynd out against Pestilence, 
 
 Preservatives to staunche it and to fine, 
 
 But I dare shortly in sentence. 
 
 Say that against death is worth no medicine. 
 
 Death speaketh to the aynerous Squire. 
 
 Ye that be gentle so fresh and amerous, 
 
 Of yeres young, flouring in your grene age. 
 Lusty, fre of hert, and eke desirous, 
 
 Full of devises and chaunge in your courage, 
 Pleasant of port, of loke, and of visage,

 And windes great gon doun with litle reyn. 
 
 Death speaheth to the Gentlewoman. 
 Come forth mistress of yeers yong and grene, 
 Which hold your self of beauty sovereign, 
 
 As fayre as ye was whilom Polyxene, 
 
 Penelope, and the Queen Helein. 
 
 Yet on this daunce they went both tweyne, 
 
 And so shall ye for all your straungenesse, 
 
 If danger long in love hath lad you reyne, 
 
 Arested is your chaunge of doublenesse. 
 
 The Gentlewoman maketli aunswer. 
 
 O cruel death that spareth none estate, 
 
 To old and yong thou art indifferent, 
 
 To my beauty thou hast said check mate, 
 
 So hasty is thy mortal judgment: 
 
 For in mine youth this was my entent, 
 
 To my service many man to have lured, 
 
 But she is a fool shortly in sentment, 
 
 That in her beauty is to much assured. 
 
 Death speaheth to the Man of Law. 
 
 Sir advocate, short processe for to make, 
 
 Ye mot come plete afore the high Judge, 
 
 Many quarels ye have undertake, 
 
 And for lucre done to folke refuge. 
 
 But my fraunchise is so large and huge.

 Tofore the dome, who is nought teint with slouth.

 To appeal from his dreadful sentence. 
 
 Nolher by no sleight me kepen or withdraw. 
 
 Nor nothing in earth may a man preserve, 
 
 Again his might lo make resistance, 
 
 God quiteth all men like as they deserve. 
 
 Death speaheth to Mr. John Rihil Tregetour. 
 
 Master John Rikil whilom Tregetour 
 Of noble Henry, King of England, 
 
 And of France the mighty Conquerour, 
 
 For al the sleights and turning of thine hond, 
 
 Death speaheth to the Person. 
 
 O sir Curat that been now here present, 
 
 That had your worldly inclination, 
 
 Your heart entere, your study and entent, 
 
 Most of your tithes and your oblation, 
 
 Which should have be of conversation, 
 
 Mirrour to other light and exemplary, 
 
 Like your desert shall be your guerdon, 
 
 And to every labour due is the salary. 
 
 The Person maheth aunswer. 
 
 Maugre my will I must condiscend, 
 
 For death assayleth every lively' thing, 
 
 Here in this world who can comprehend 
 His sodein stroke and his unwary turning. 
 Farewel tithes, and farewel mine offering, 
 
 I mot go coumpten by order by and by, 
 
 And for my sheep make a just reckoning, 
 
 And who that so him quiteth I hold he is happy. 
 
 Death speaheth to the Jurrour. 
 
 Master Jurrour which that at assises, 
 
 And at Sheres Quests didst embrace, 
 
 Deper didst lond like to thy devises, 
 
 And who most gave most stode in thy grace. 
 
 The poor man lost both lond and place, 
 
 For gold thou couldest folke disherite, 
 
 But now let see with thy taint face, 
 
 Tofore the Judge how canst thee quite. 
 
 The Jurrour maheth aunswer. 
 
 Whilom I was cleped in my countrey', 
 
 The belweather and that was not alight, 
 
 Nought loved but drad of high and low degree, 
 For whom me list by craft I could endite, 
 Hongen the true and the thefe respite, 
 
 All the countrey by my word was lad, 
 
 But I dare sein shortly for to write, 
 
 Of my death many a man is glad.

 Death speaketh to the Minstral. 
 
 O thou minstral that can so note and pipe, 
 Unto folke for to done pleasaunce, 
 
 By the right hond I shall anon thee gripe, 
 
 With these other to gone upon my daunce. 
 
 There is no scape nother avoydaunce, 
 
 On no side to contune my sentence, 
 
 For in Musike my craft, and accordance, 
 
 Who maister is shevven his sentence. 
 
 The Minstral maketli aunswer. 
 
 This new daunce is to me so straunge, 
 
 Wonder divers and passingly contrary, 
 
 The dredeful footing doth so oft chaunge, 
 
 And the measures so oft sith vary, 
 
 Which unto me is now nothing necessary, 
 
 If it were so that I might assert, 
 
 But many a man if I shall nought tary, 
 
 Oft daunseth but nothing of hert. 
 
 Death speaketh to the Labourer. 
 
 Thou Labourer, which in sorrow and peyn 
 Hast lad thy life in great travayle, 
 
 Ye must eke dance, and therefore nought disdein, 
 For if you do it may thee nought avayle, 
 
 And cause why that I thee assayle, 
 
 As onely this fro thee to discever 
 The false world that can so folkes fayle 
 He is a fool that weneth to liven ever. 
 
 The Labourer maketh aunswer. 
 
 I have wished after death full oft, 
 
 Albe that I would have fled him now, 
 
 I had lever to have lyen unsoft, 
 
 In wind and rain to have gon at the plow, 
 
 With spade and pikoys laboured for my prow, 
 Dolven and ditched and at the cart gone ; 
 
 For I may say and tell platly how, 
 
 In this world there is rest none. 
 
 Death speaketh to the Frere menor. 
 
 Sir Cordelere to you mine hand is raught, 
 
 You to this daunce to convey and lead. 
 
 Which in your preaching han ful oft ytaught 
 How that I am most gastful for to drede, 
 
 Albe that folke take thereto none heed, 
 
 Yet is there none so strong, ne so hardy, 
 
 But death dare him rest, and let for no mede, 
 
 For death every houre is present and ready. 
 
 The Frere maketh aunszcer. 
 
 Wiiat may this be that in this world no man 
 Here to abide may have no surety, 
 
 Strength, riches, nor what so that he can, 
 
 Of worldly wisedom all is but vanity : 
 
 In great estate nor in poverty, 
 
 Is nothing found that may his death defend. 
 
 For which I say to high and low degree, 
 
 Wise is that sinner that doth his life amend. 
 
 Death speaketh to the Child. 
 
 Litle Faunte that wert but late borne. 
 
 Shape in this world to have no plasaunce, 
 
 Ye must with other that gone lierebeforne, 
 
 Be lad in hast by fatal ordinance,

 There may none age escape in soth therefro, 
 
 Let every wight have this in remembrance, 
 Who lengest liveth most shall suffer woe. 
 
 The young Child maketh aunswer. 
 
 A, a, a, a, woorde I canot speake, 
 
 I am so yotige I was borne yesterday, 
 
 Death is so hasty on me to be wreak, 
 
 And list no lenger to make no delay. 
 
 I am but now borne, and now I go my way, 
 
 Of me no more to tele shall be told, 
 
 The will of God no man withstond may, 
 
 As soon dyeth a yong as an old. 
 
 Death speaketh to the young Clerk. 
 
 O ye sir Clerk suppose ye to be free, 
 
 Fro my daunce, or your selfe defend, 
 
 That wend have risen unto high degree, 
 
 Of Benefice or some great Prebend : 
 
 Who climbelh highest, sometime shall descend, 
 Let no man grutch against his fortune, 
 
 But take at gree whatever God him send, 
 Which punisheth all when time is oportune. 
 
 The Clerk maketh aunswer. 
 
 Shall 1 that am so yong a Clerk now die, 
 Of my service and have no better guerdon, 
 
 Is there no gayn ne no better way, 
 
 No better fraunchise nor protection ? 
 
 Death maketh alway a short conclusion, 
 
 To late ware when men be on the brinke, 
 
 The world shall faile, and all possession, 
 
 For much faileth of thing that folkes think. 
 
 Death speaketh to the Hermite. 
 
 Ye that have lived long in wildernesse, 
 
 And there continued long in abstinence, 
 
 At the last yet ye mot you dresse, 
 
 Of my daunce to have experience. 
 
 For there against is no resistance, 
 
 Take now leave of thine Hermitage, 
 
 Werfore every man advert to this sentence,

 Marriage of Prince Arthur, eldest Son of K. Henry Vllth, at Sr. Pauls. 
 
 A. D. 1507. 
 
 Stow's Annals, edit. 1631. p. 482. 
 
 “ The 9. of November Prince Arthur with a goodly company came through Fleetstreet of Lon¬ 
 don to S. Paules, and so to the Wardrobe by the Blacke friers, and there was lodged. And the same 
 day came the Lady Katherine, Princesse, to Lambeth, where she with her ladies was lodged in the 
 Archbishop’s lnne of Canterbury: and upon the Friday next following, about two of the clocke at 
 the afternoone, the saide Lady Princesse accompanied with many Lords and Ladies, in most sump¬ 
 tuous manner apparelled, came riding from Lambeth into Southwarke and so to London Bridge, where 
 was ordained a costly pageant of S. Katherine and St. Ursula, with many virgins : from thence she 
 rode to Grace streete, where was ordeined a second pageant, from thence to the condict in Cornehill, 
 where was another pageant. The great condict in Cheape ran with Gascoine wine, and was furnished 
 with Musicke. Against Soperlane end was another pageant. At the Standard in Cheape was ordeined 
 the 5 Pageant. At Pauls Gate was the 6. Pageant, by which the Princesse rode through Paule’s 
 Church-yard unto the Bishop of London’s palace, where she and her people was lodged. 
 
 Now within the Church of S. Paul, to wit, from the West gate of it unto the uppermost greese or 
 step at the going in of the quier, was made a pace of timber and boords to go upon, from the said 
 West doore unto the forenamed greese, of the height of 6 foote from the ground, or more: and 
 fore a nenst the place where the commissaries court is kept within the said Church, was ordeined a 
 standing, like unto a mountaine with steps on every side, which was covered over with red wusted, and 
 in likewise was all the railes: againste which mountaine upon the north side, within the foresaid place 
 of the Commissaries Court, was ordeined a standing for the King, and such other as liked him to have: 
 and on the south side almost, for against the Kings standing was ordeined a scaffold, whereupon stood 
 the Maior and his brethren. 
 
 Then upon the 14. of November being Sunday, upon the above named mountaine, was Prince Arthur 
 about the age of 15. yeeres, and the Lady Katharine about the age of 18. yeeres, both clad in white 
 sattine, maried by the Archbishop of Canterbury, assisted by 19 bishops and abbots mitered. And 
 the King, the Queene, the Kings mother, stood in the place aforenamed, where they heard and beheld the 
 solemnization, which being finished, the said archbishop and bishops took their way from the moun¬ 
 taine, upon the said place covered under foot with blew rey cloth unto the quier, and so to the high 
 altar, whom followed the spouse and spouses, the Lady Cicile, sister to the Queene, bearing her 
 
 traine:, after her followed a hundred Ladies and gentlewomen, in right costly apparel], then the 
 
 Maior in a gowne of crimson velvet, and his brethren in scarlet, with the sword born before 
 the Maior, and sate in the quier the masse while : the Archbishop of Yorke sate in the Deans place, 
 and offred as chiefe, and after him the Duke of Buckingham, See. Wonderfull it was to behold 
 the riches of apparel worne that day, with the poisant chaines of gold; of which, two were spe¬ 
 cially noted, to wit, Sir T. Brandon Knight, master of the King’s horse, which that day ware a chaine 
 valued at 1400 pound: and the other W. de Rivers Esquire, master of the Kings haukes, whose chaine 
 was valued at a 1000 pound : many mo were of £00. 300. and so forth; these were not noted for 
 
 length, but for the greatnesse of the linkes. Also the Duke of Buckingham ware a gowne wrought 
 
 of needle worke and set upon cloth of tissue, furred with sables, the which gowne was valued 
 at 15001.: and Sir Nicholas Vause Knight ware a gown of purple velvet, pight with peeces of gold

 so thicke and massie, that it was valued in golde, besides the silke and fur, a thousand pound : 
 which chaines and garments were valued by goldsmithes of best skill, and them that wrought 
 them. The masse being finished, the princesse was led by Henry Duke of Yorke, and a Legate 
 of Spain, by the foresaid pace into the palace, going before her men of honor to the number of 
 160. with gentlemen and other. There came unto the Maior, Sir Richard Crofts steward of the 
 princes house, which brought him and his brethren the aldermen into the great hall, and at a 
 
 table upon the west side of the hall caused them to be set to dinner, where honorably were they 
 
 served with 12 dishes to a messe at the first course, 15. the second course, and 18 dishes the 
 third course. In this hall was a cupboord of five stages height, being triangled, the which was set 
 with plate valued 12001. the which was never mooved at that day: and in the utter chamber 
 where the Princesse dined, was a cupboord of gold plate, garnished with stone and pearle, valued 
 above 20000 pound. The Tuesday following the King and Queene, being all this season at Bai- 
 nards castle, came unto Pawles, and heard there masse, and then accompanied with many nobles 
 went into the place, and there dined with the Princesse. This day Sir Nicholas Vause ware a 
 
 collar of esses which weyed, as the goldsmithes that made it reported, 800. pound of nobles. And 
 
 the same day at afternoon, the said Princes were conveyed with many Lords and Ladies unto 
 Pawles wharffe, where the said estate took their barges, and were rowed to Westminster, upon 
 whom the Maior attended, with the aldermen and fellowships in barges, garnished with banners and 
 other devises, musicke, &c. Thus much for that Marriage.”

 procession and sensed by Mr. Richard Pace then beinge Deane of the said Churche. After which 
 ceremonies done there were four Doctors that bare a Canope of cloth of gold over him, goinge to the 
 highe Altar where hee made his oblacon, which done, he proceeded forth as abovesaid to the Crosse 
 in Paule’s Churche yeard, where was ordeined a scaffold for the same cause, and hee sitting under 
 his cloth of estate which was ordeined for him, his two crosses on every side of him; on his right hand, 
 sittinge on the pace where he set his feete, the Popes Embassador, and nexte him the archbyshop 
 of Canterbury; on his left hand the Emperors Embassador, and nexte him the Byshop of Duresme; 
 and all the other Byshops with other noble Prelates sate on twoe formes oute right forthe: and ther 
 the Byshop of Rochester made a Sermon, by the consentinge of the whole clergie of England, by 
 the comandement of the Pope, against Martinus Eleuthereus and all his workes, because he erred 
 sore and spake againste the hollie ritlie, and denounced them accursed which kept anie of his 
 bookes. And there were manie burned in the said churche yeard of his said bookes, during the sermon. 
 Which ended my Lord Cardinall went home to dinner, with all the other Pradates.”

 the Prior of ChristChurch pistoler; the Masse done, the Lord Cardinal] with the other Prelates went 
 unto the Quyre dore where Doctor Capon declared the calamities, miseries, and opprobious deeds and 
 workes, with the great sufferances that our mother the hollie churche hath suffered not alonelie by the 
 Lutherian secte, which was like to have sortyd to an ungracious effecte, but alsoe nowe of late of 
 the greate unhappie delinges of the painims and violators of our Christen faythe, the men of warre 
 belonginge to the Emperor in the sorrowfull destruction of Rome, where they like miscreants 
 nothinge regardinge nether God nor Shame, violentlie toke and by force imprisoned our holie 
 father the Pope which nowe of late by the helpe of our Lord God, w ch see his Church in perdicion, 
 did relieve it againe. In soe much that our said hollie father is escaped theire hands. Wherfore the 
 Lord Legates Grace by the King’s commandement hath here caused as this daye this noble assemblie 
 to be had, thro the intent that lauds, praisings, and congratulations might be given by all 
 trewe Christien people unto Allmightie God and the whole companie of heaven. And thus doinge the 
 Lord Cardinall did give his benediction to all the people; which D r Capon did say much more then 
 I can rehearse; and this done, the said lords retourned to the Aulter where the Lord Cardinall 
 began Te Deum, the which was solemnlie songen with the Kings trumpetts and shalmes, as well 
 Inglish men as Venetians, which done every man repaired home, and the Lord Legate Cardinall went 
 to his Place to dinner and the Embassadours with him.’'

 of the Right Hon. John Earl of Marlborough, Captain General of her Land Forces, by gaining from 
 their Enemies many fortifyed Towns and large Territories in the Low Countrys, and for the glorious 
 Victory gained by the English and Dutch F'leet, and Troops of her and her Allies, under the command 
 of the most noble Prince James Duke of Ormond, General of her Forces on board her said Fleet, 
 and the Right Hon. S r George Rook Kn' Admirall of the said Fleet, and Vice Admirall of England, 
 by burning, sinking, and taking many Ships of War, and great Riches of their Enemies, then lately 
 arrived from the Spanish West Indies in the Port of Vigo in the Kingdom of Gallicia in Spain,

 Her Majesty resolved to render her publick Thanks to Almighty God for the same in the most solemn

 Proceedings; their Lordships resolved to sit in the Area or Body of the Choir of the said Cathedral as a 
 House of Lords, and to be furnished in the same manner as their House was, and that they would 
 be called over, and proceed thither as a House, which was done accordingly. The House of Commons

 the Choir, with the Sergeant at Arras, and their Clark, and Clark Assistant just under him ; the respective

 Procession to St. Paul’s on the Thanksgiving, July 7th, 1713. 
 
 Of this Procession no details are preserved either in the College of Arms or in the London 
 Gazette. 
 
 From the Newspaper called The Post-Boy, however, we learn that “ About noon on that day the 
 Right Hon. the Speaker of the House of Commons went from the Parliament House to St. Paul’s 
 Cathedral, his Coach being followed by near two Hundred others of the Members of that Honour¬ 
 able House, who were richly dressed upon this occasion. After them came the Judges in their 
 proper habits, then the Barons, Bishops, Viscounts, Earls, Marquises, and Dukes, all in their Robes; 
 the Lord President, Lord Treasurer, and Lord Chancellor closed the Procession, which was very 
 solemn and magnificent. The Church musick was as excellent in its performance, as it was exqui¬ 
 site in its composure; and, as to the Sermon, we need say no more, as we can say nothing greater 
 of it, than that it was preached by the Right Reverend the Lord Bishop of Bath and Wells. The 
 Crowds of Spectators, as well in the Houses as Streets thro’ which that illustrious cavalcade was

 side, along the Old Jewry, and Coleman Street, to Moorfields, round which they were formed and

 Church. The Grenadiers lined the great Nave of the Church on each Side, from the outer Door

 The Remainder of the Procession followed in the Order as before marshalled. The Chief Mourner, 
 his Two Supporters and Train Bearer, were sealed on Chairs near the Body, on the Side nearest the 
 Altar: and the Six Assistant Mourners, Four Supporters of the Pall, and Six Supporters of the Canopy, 
 on stools on each Side. 
 
 The Relations also near them in the Choir; and Garter was seated near the Chief Mourner. 
 
 The Body, when placed in the Choir, was not covered with the Pall, nor the Canopy borne over 
 it: the Rule in that respect being dispensed with, for the reason before mentioned. The Bannerolls 
 were borne on each Side the Body. 
 
 The Officers of the Navy, and the Staff Officers commanding the Troops, were seated near the 
 Altar. 
 
 The Carpet and Cushion (on which the Trophies were afterwards to be deposited,) were laid, by 
 the Gentleman Usher who carried them, on a Table placed near the Grave, which was under the 
 centre of the Dome, and behind the Place which was to be there occupied by the Chief Mourner. 
 
 The Coronet and Cushion, borne by Norroy King of Arms in the absence of Clarencieux, was laid 
 on the Body. 
 
 During the Service in the Choir, an Anthem suitable to the Occasion was sung: and, at the Con¬ 
 clusion, a Procession was made from thence to the Grave, with the Banners and Bannerolls as before, 
 the Officers of Arms preceding with the Trophies ; the Body borne and attended as before : the Choir 
 singing, “ Man that is born of a Woman,” &,c. and the three following sentences. 
 
 The Chief Mourner, with his Supporters, and near them Garter, had Seats at the East End of the 
 Grave: the Train Bearer stood behind the Chief Mourner, and near him the Relations of the 
 Deceased. At the opposite end sat the Right Reverend the Lord Bishop of Lincoln, Dean of the 
 Cathedral, attended by Three Canons Residentiaries. A Supporter of the Pall stood at each Angle. 
 
 The Assistant Mourners, Supporters of the Canopy, and Bearers of the Bannerolls on either Side. 
 
 On the right of the Dean were the Chaplains: on the left, the Officers of the Household of the 
 Deceased. The Great Banner was borne on the North, the Banner of the Deceased as a Knight 
 of the Bath, on the South of the Grave : the Standard and Guidon behind the Dean : the Banner 
 of Emblems behind the Chief Mourner : the Trophies in the Angles. 
 
 Then the Dean read, “ Forasmuch as it hath pleased Almighty God,” See. then the Choir sung 
 
 part of an Anthem, “ His Body is buried in peace; but his Name liveth evermore.” 
 
 The Service at the Interment being over, Garter proclaimed the Style; and the Comptroller, 
 Treasurer, and Steward of the Deceased, breaking their Staves, delivered the Pieces to Garter, who 
 threw them into the Grave.

 Upon a Signal given from St. Paul’s that the Body was deposited, the Troops being drawn up 
 in Moorfields, the Artillery fired their Guns, and the Infantry gave Vollies, by Corps, three times 
 repeated. 
 
 The Interment ended, the Standard, Banners, Batinerolls, and Trophies, were deposited on the 
 Table behind the Chief Mourner; and all Persons in the Procession retired. 
 
 During the whole of this solemn Ceremony, the greatest Order prevailed throughout the Metro¬ 
 polis; and as the Remains of the much lamented Hero proceeded along, every possible testimony 
 of Sorrow and of Respect was manifested by an immense Concourse of Spectators of all Ranks. 
 From the Admiralty to the Cathedral the Streets were lined with the several Volunteer Corps of 
 London and Westminster, the Militia, and many other Military Bodies, both Cavalry and 
 Infantry. 
 
 The Prince Regent’s Procession to St. Pauls, A. D. 1814 . 
 
 From the London Gazette, Saturday, July 9, 1814. 
 
 Whitehall, July 9, 1814. 
 
 Thursday last, the 7th instant, being appointed by the Proclamation of His Royal Highness the 
 Prince Regent, in the name and on the behalf of His Majesty, to be observed as a day of general 
 Thanksgiving to Almighty God for the interposition of his good providence in putting an end to the 
 long, extended, and bloody warfare, in which this United Kingdom had been engaged against France 
 and her Allies ; His Royal Highness was pleased, for the greater solemnity of the day, to go to the 
 Cathedral Church of St. Paul, accompanied by their Royal Highnesses, the Dukes of York, Kent, 
 Sussex, and Cambridge, and His Highness the Duke of Gloucester, and attended by both houses 
 of parliament, the great officers of state, the judges, and other public officers, to return thanks to 
 God for these his great mercies and blessings. 
 
 At nine o’clock in the morning, the House of Commons was called over; and the members set out 
 in their carriages; preceded by the clerks assistants, the chaplain, and deputy sergeant at arms in one 
 of the Speaker’s carriages: the messengers of the house going before on horseback all the way, and 
 the constables of Westminster as far as Temple Bar. Then followed the right honourable the Speaker 
 in his state coach. 
 
 Next came the masters in Chancery, the judges, and, after them, the peers spiritual and temporal, 
 in the order of precedency, as they were marshalled by the officers of arms at Westminster; the 
 youngest Baron going first, and the Lord High Chancellor, in his state coach, closing this part of 
 the procession. Such of the peers as were knights of his Majesty’s orders, wore their respective 
 collars over their parliamentary robes. 
 
 Afterwards proceeded the Royal Family, in order of precedency, with their attendants, escorted by 
 the life guards. 
 
 His Royal Highness the Prince Regent set out from St. James’s palace soon after ten o’clock, in a 
 solemn manner, in the state coach, drawn by eight cream coloured horses (in which were also the 
 officers of state attending His Royal Highness); and proceeded through the gate at the Stable Yard, 
 along Pall-Mall, and through the Strand, amidst the loyal acclamations of a great concourse of 
 people. 
 
 The road from St. James’s was lined by detachments of infantry from different regiments. The 
 streets were lined as far as Temple-Bar by the foot guards, the grenadier companies of which were 
 posted in St. Paul’s Church, and in the Church-yard. The avenues into the streets, through which 
 the procession passed, were guarded by dragoons belonging to the above-mentioned regiments of 
 cavalry. From Temple-Bar to the Church, the streets were lined by the East and West regiments 
 of London militia, the honourable Artillery Company, &c.; the peace officers attending, both within

 &ppentit;c tn $t0tortam 
 
 and without the City, to preserve order. The balconies and windows of the houses were crowded 
 with multitudes of spectators, who testified the greatest joy and loyalty on the occasion. 
 
 At Temple-Bar, His Royal Highness the Prince Regent was met by the Lord Mayor in a gown of 
 crimson velvet, the sheriffs in their scarlet gowns, and a deputation from the aldermen and common 
 council, being all on horseback; when the Lord Mayor surrendered the City sword to the Prince 
 Regent, who, in the name and on the behalf of His Majesty, returned it to him, and he carried it, 
 bareheaded, before His Royal Highness to St. Paul’s. 
 
 His Royal Highness being arrived at St. Paul’s, was met at the West door by the Bishop of 
 London, the Bishop of Lincoln as Dean of the Cathedral, the Chapter, Garter principal king of 
 arms, and the other officers of arms; the band of gentlemen pensioners, and the yeomen of the 
 guard, attending. 
 
 The Sword of State was carried before His Royal Highness the Prince Regent by Field Marshal 
 the Duke of Wellington, wearing the collar of the most noble order of the garter over his 
 parliamentary robes. 
 
 The procession entered the choir*, where the Prince Regent placed himself under a canopy of state, 
 near the west end, opposite to the altar. 
 
 The Royal Family took their seats on the right hand of the canopy of state; and the peers, 
 the members of the house of commons, the foreign ministers, many foreigners and other personages 
 of distinction, placed themselves in the seats which had been previously prepared for their 
 reception. 
 
 The prayers and litany were read and chaunted by the minor canons. The Te Deum, and an 
 anthem composed for the occasion, were sung by the choirs of the Cathedral, of Westminster 
 Abbey, and of the Chapel Royal, who were placed in the organ-loft. The communion service was 
 read by the Lord Bishop of London and the residentiary, and the sermon was preached by the Lord 
 Bishop of Chester.

 Divine Service being ended, His Royal Highness the Prince Regent returned with the same state 
 soon after two o’clock. 
 
 The guns at the Tower, and in the Park, were fired twice; first, upon the setting out of the 
 Prince Regent; secondly, upon the return of His Royal Highness. 
 
 The public demonstrations of the zeal and loyalty of the inhabitants of London and Westminster 
 for His Royal Highness’s person and government, and of their joy on the glorious events, which had 
 conduced to the establishment of peace, were suitable to so great and solemn an occasion. 
 
 The following was the Form of the Installation of the Dean of St. Paul’s in the Chapter House, 
 
 March 12, 1787- 
 
 The Dean presented to the President and Chapter the Bishop of London’s mandate for his installation, 
 and prayed that they would take upon them the execution of such mandate, and proceed according to 
 the tenor thereof; whereupon the President and Chapter directed the mandate to be read, and took upon 
 them the execution, and decreed to proceed to the Dean’s installation. 
 
 A Procession was then made from the Chapter House to Lhe West door of the Church in the following 
 order: 
 
 The two junior Vergers, with their gowns and wands : 
 
 The Choristers, two and two, in their surplices : 
 
 The Almoner in his gown : 
 
 The Vicars choral, two and two, in their surplices: 
 
 The Minor Canons, two and two, in their surplices : 
 
 The Apparitor of the Dean and Chapter, with his gown and staff: 
 
 The Proctor and Actuary, in their gowns: 
 
 The Prebendaries in their surplices, two and two, the juniors first: 
 
 The Commissary of the Dean and Chapter, in his gown : 
 
 The Senior of the three Vergers, with his gown and wand: 
 
 The President of the Chapter, in his surplice : 
 
 The Dean’s Verger, with his gown and wand : 
 
 The Dean, in his surplice. 
 
 When the two junior Vergers came to the entrance of the choir they stopped, and the persons in 
 the Procession made a lane, through which the President and Dean passed, each with a verger before 
 him to the Dean’s stall in the choir, wherein the President placed the Dean ; and the Prebendaries 
 and others repairing to their seats, the President said : “ I Christopher, by divine permission, Bishop 
 « 0 f Bristol, Canon Residentiary of this Cathedral Church of Saint Paul, London, and President of 
 tt t he Chapter of the said Church, by virtue of the authority to me committed, do induct you, the 
 
 u Rev. George Pretyman, Doctor in Divinity, duly and lawfully elected and confirmed Dean of this 
 
 u Church, into the real, actual, and corporal possession of the Deanery of the said Church, with all 
 
 “ and singular its rights, members, and appurtenances; and do (as is the custom) assign to you the 
 
 it sta n i n the Choir, and place and voice in the Chapter in this Cathedral Church, anciently due, 
 “ accustomed, and appertaining to the said Deanery and the Dean thereof. The Lord keep you 
 “ coming in and going out, now and for ever.” 
 
 Then the President began the following suffrages, the Choir answering : 
 
 President. O! Lord, save this thy servant. 
 
 Answer. Who putteth his trust in thee. 
 
 President. Send him help from thy holy place. 
 
 Answer■ And evermore mightily defend him. 
 
 President. O Lord ! hear our prayer. 
 
 Answer. And let our cry come unto thee. 
 
 The President then repeated the following prayer: 
 
 “ Oremus. Deus omnipotens, officiorum depositor, et bonorum omnium distributor, qui ad guber- 
 u n andas ecclesias diversorum graduum, dignitatis institui voluisti devotis mentibus te suppliciter 
 
466

 “ tatum, protection^ turn munire gratia digneris, eique Spiritus Sanctus ccelestium charismatum divisor 
 “ assistat, ut sicut Doctor gentium Paulus instituit, proficiant ei honoris augmenta ad incremenla 
 “ meritorum, sit exemplum et forma justitim ad gubernandum fideliter ministerium sibi deputatum, 
 “ sicque sibi commissos regere concedas, ut cum illis omnibus regimen promereatur seternum, per 
 u Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen.” 
 
 The public prayers were then read in the usual manner, after which the Procession returned to the 
 Chapter House, the Dean going first with his verger before him, the rest following in procession, 
 according to seniority. 
 
 After this, the President placed the Dean in the seat accustomed to be assigned to his office in the 
 Chapter House, saying as follows : 
 
 “ By virtue of the authority to me committed, I do assign this place in the Chapter to you the 
 u Reverend George Pretyman, Doctor in Divinity, as a token of your real and actual possession of 
 “ the Deanery.” 
 
 After which the Dean took the following oath : 
 
 “ Ego Georgius Pretyman, Ecclesim Cathedralis Sancti Pauli Londini Decanus, electus, confirmatus, 
 “ et iustallatus, promitto et juro ad haec sancta Dei Evangelia per me hie inspecta, quod secundum 
 “ approbatum hujus ecclesiee morem in ea residebo, quod jura et libertates ipsius ecclesim tuebor, 
 “ quod approbatas et approbandas ecclesiae consuetudines servabo et observari faciam, quod bona et 
 “ possessiones ecclesiae inventa servabo, et alienata pro viribus revocabo, sic me Deus adjuvet et htec 
 “ Sancta Dei Evangelia! ” 
 
 The oath having been taken, the Prebendaries and Minor Canons severally promised canonical 
 obedience in these words : “ Domine Decane, promitto tibi obedientiam canonicam tanquam Decano.” 
 The vergers and bell-ringers thus: “ Mr. Dean, 1 promise canonical obedience to you as Dean.” 
 
 A sumptuous entertainment was afterwards provided in the Chapter House, at the expense of the 
 new elected Dean. 
 

SUPPLEMENT. 
 
 feiINCE the publication of the former pages of this Work, the Monuments for Lord Nelson, 
 Lord Collingwood, Sir Isaac Brock , General Hoghton, Lieutenant-Colonel Sir 11 illiam Myers , 
 and General Le Marchant , have been erected in St. Paul’s Cathedral. 
 
 The Monument for Lord Viscount Nelson is placed against the south pier, at the entrance ot the 
 choir, opposite to that for the Marquis Cornwallis. 
 
 The description of the Design of this Monument has been kindly supplied by the sculptor, 
 Mr. John Flaxman. “ Britannia is directing the young seamen’s attention to their great example, 
 Lord Nelson. On the die of the pedestal which supports the hero s statue, are figures in basso 
 relievo, representing the Frozen Ocean, the German Ocean, the Nile, and the Mediterranean. On 
 the cornice, and in a frieze of laurel leaves, are the words Copenhagen. Nile. Trafalgar. 
 The British Lion sits on the plinth, guarding the pedestal.’’ The height of Lord Nelson s Statue 
 is seven feet eight inches. The Monument rises eighteen feet from the pavement. The Inscription 
 intended to be placed on the front of the pedestal has not yet been made public. 
 
 Under a window of the south transept, eastward of the entrance, in a situation corresponding 
 with Sir John Moore’s Monument, is that erected to the memory of Lord Collingwood. 
 
 The following is the description of this Monument, as communicated to Miss Hackett by the 
 sculptor, R. Westmacott, Esq. R.A. 
 
 “ The moment for illustration chosen in this composition is the arrival of the remains ot 
 Lord Collingwood on the British shores. The body, shrouded in the colours torn from the enemy, 
 is represented on the deck of a man of war. In the hands of the hero is placed the sword which 
 he used with so much glory to himself and to a grateful country. 
 
 “ On the foreground, attended by the genii of his confluent streams, is Thames, in a cumbent 
 position, thoughtfully regarding Fame, who from the prow of the ship reclines over the illustrious 
 Admiral, and proclaims his heroic achievements. 
 
 “ The alto-relievo on the gunwale of the ship illustrates the progress of Navigation. The genius 
 of man discovering the properties of the nautilus, is led to venture on the expansive bosom of the 
 Ocean: acquiring confidence from success, he leaves his native land-marks, the stars his only guide. 
 The magnet’s power next directs his course; and now, to counteract the machinations ot pirates and 
 the feuds of Nations, he forges the instruments of war*.”

 SUPPLEMENT. 
 
 Against a pannel in the pier, and immediately at the back of Captain Burgess’s Monument, also 
 ill the south transept, is the Memorial for Sir Isaac Brock. The Design consists of a military 
 Monument, on which are placed the Sword and Helmet of the deceased: a votive record, supposed 
 to have been raised by his companions to their Commander. The corpse of the General is repre¬ 
 sented as supported by a British soldier, whilst an Indian pays the tribute of regret which the 
 General’s bravery and humanity had called forth. The following is the Inscription: 
 
 ERECTED AT THE PUBLIC EXPENSE 
 
 to the Memory of 
 Major-General

 RICHARD WESTMACOTT, R. A. 
 
 Ix the western ambulatory ol the north transept is another tabular Monument, executed by 
 F. L. Chantrey, Esq. R. A. to the memory of Major-General Hoghton. 
 
 General Hoghton, while leading his troops to a successful charge on the French at Albuera, 
 leceived a mortal wound; but lived for a moment to witness the total defeat of the enemy. The 
 Design represents General Hoghton starting from the ground, and eagerly stretching out his hand 
 to diiect his men, who are rushing on the enemy with levelled bayonets; while Victory, ascending 
 from the Field of Battle, sustains with one hand the British colours, and with the other proceeds 
 to crown the dying Victor with laurel. The Inscription states the Monument to have been 
 
 erected at the public expense to the memory of 
 
 MAJOR-GENERAL DANIEL HOGHTON, 
 
 WHO FELL GLORIOUSLY THE 16™. MAY 1811. IN THE BATTLE AT ALBUERA. 
 
 Chantrey, sculptor. 
 
 Opposite to General Hoghton s Monument is that for Sir William Myers, who was also killed 
 at Albuera. The Design is intended to represent the union of Wisdom and Valour in Sir William 
 Myeis, whose bust is placed upon the top of the tomb. The figures introduced, are, Minerva for 
 V isdom, and Hercules for Valour, who points with one hand to the bust, whilst the other clasps 
 that of Wisdom. The following is the Inscription: 
 
 ERECTED AT THE PUBLIC EXPENSE TO THE MEMORY OF

SUPPLEMENT. 
 
 471 
 
 In a pannel against the north-east pier, between the Monument to Captains Mosse and Riou and 
 Dr. Johnsons Statue, is the Memorial for General Le Marchant: designed by Mr. James Smith, 
 and executed after his death by Rossi. It represents Spain placing the trophies of Victory on the 
 -warrior’s tomb, while she mourns his fall. Britannia seated, is pointing to the Monument raised to 
 his memory; and is instructing her youth, a military cadet, to emulate his brave example. The 
 Inscription denotes it to have been 
 
 Erected 
 
 at the Public Expense 
 to the Memory of 
 Major-General 
 
 JOHN GASPARD LE MARCHANT, 
 
 WHO GLORIOUSLY FELL 
 
 in the Battle of 
 SALAMANCA 
 July the 22i». 1812. 
 
 J. SMITH, SCULPTOR, 
 
 PORTLAND ROAD. 
 
 Of the greater part of the monuments still to be erected 
 
 in St. Paul’s Cathedral, Drawings and Engravings have been made for the present Work; taken 
 from the Monuments as in part executed, or from the Sculptors’ Models. 
 
 The Monuments for General Picton and General Ponsonby are intended to occupy situations in 
 the north transept, exactly opposite to those of General Moore and Lord Collingwood in the south 
 transept. 
 
 The Design of the Monument to General Sir Thomas Picton represents Genius and Valour 
 rewarded by Victory. The Groupe is surmounted by a Bust of the General, placed upon a shaft 
 of a Pillar. This Monument has been designed, modelled, and sculptured by Mr. Sebastian 
 Gahagan. 
 
 The Monument for Major-General the Hon. Sir William Ponsonby, was designed by William 
 Theed Esq. R. A.; since whose death the Marble has been executed by Mr. E. II. Bayly, A. R. A. 
 The distinguished officer whose memory is recorded, is said to have owed his death partly to the 
 weakness of his horse, which fell with him in the battle while checking the too great ardour of the 
 troops under his command. The Composition represents him receiving a wreath from the hand of 
 Victory in the moment of death. He was found on the field stripped. 
 
 The Monuments for Major-General Hay, and the Generals Gore and Skerritt, are also to occupy 
 spaces to the right and left of the North entrance. 
 
 The Design of the Monument for Major-General Andrew Hay represents him falling into the 
 arms of Valour; while a soldier stands lamenting the loss of his commander. It has been executed 
 by Mr. H. Hopper. 
 
 In the Monument for Generals Gore and Skerritt, Fame is represented consoling Britannia for 
 the loss of her fallen heroes, whose busts are placed on the top of the pedestal; at the foot of 
 Britannia is the British Lion. This Monument, designed by the late Mr. William Tallemach, has 
 been executed in marble by F. L. Chantrey Esq. R. A. 
 
 The Statue of General Gillespie, not yet executed, is intended to be placed near the same spot, 
 in a recess. It is preparing by Mr. Chantrey. 
 
 Exactly opposite to General Gillespie’s statue, but in the south transept, in a recess within a few 
 yards from the Monument of Sir John Moore, it is intended to place the Statue of Sir Samuel 
 Hood, executed by Mr. S. Joseph. 
 
 6 F 
 
SUPPLEMENT. 
 
 472 
 
 The Monument to Colonel Cadoga?i is intended to be placed in a pannel of the pier, at the back 
 of the Monument for Captain Faulknor. The Design is historical. When Colonel Cadogan was 
 mortally wounded at the battle of Vittoria he caused his men to place him on an eminence whence 
 he might contemplate the victory he had assisted to achieve. He is here represented borne off in 
 the arms of his soldiers, with his face to the enemy: his troops having broken the enemy’s ranks 
 with their bayonets. One of the enemy’s Eagles, with its bearer, is represented as trodden on the 
 ground, while another standard bearer is turning to fly. The soldiers who support their leader 
 appear waving their hats in the moment of victory. 
 
 In another pannel, in the same transept, it is proposed to place the Monument for General Ross • 
 designed and executed by Mr. J. Kendrick. It represents Valour laying an American flag upon 
 the Tomb of the departed warrior, on which Britannia is recumbent in tears, while Fame is descend¬ 
 ing with the laurel to crown his bust. 
 
 Another tabular Monument, intended for a similar pannel on the west side of the north transept, 
 has been prepared to the memory of Major-General Bowes. The Design represents the General 
 storming the forts of Salamanca. A shattered wall presents a steep breach, crowded with the 
 enemy and covered with their slain. The General conducts his troops to charge its defenders with 
 the bayonet, the French standard and its bearer fall at his feet, and Victory is already secure, when 
 he receives a mortal wound and falls into the arms of one of the soldiers. 
 
 The Monument for Generals Pakenham and Gibbs, designing by Mr. Westmacott, is intended to 
 be placed in the south transept. The Model, however, not being sufficiently advanced to warrant 
 that it w’ould not be altered, no Drawing could be taken from it for the present Publication.
