Saint Pauls Church.

* 1.1As of the Cathedrall Churches in Canterbury and Rochester, so, I finde Ethelbert, king of Kent, to be the Founder of this, here in London; dedi∣cated to the honour of the euerliuing God, and Saint Paul, Doctor of the Gentiles. These are the words of his Charter, preserued here in the Church.

* 1.2In Christi nomine Aedelbertus Rex Deo inspirante, pro anime sue reme∣dio, dedit Episcopo Melito terram que appellatur Tillingeham, ad Monasterij sui solatium, scilicet Sancti Pauli Apostoli Doctoris Gentium. Et ego Aedel∣bertus ita firmiter concedo tibi Presuli Melito potestatem eius habendi & pos∣sidendi, vt in perpetuum in Monasterij vtilitate permaneat. Si quis vero con∣tradicere temptauerit hanc donationem, Anathema & excomunicatus sit ab omni societate Christiana, vsque ad satisfactionem. Qua de re ego Epis∣copus Melitus vna cum Rege Aedeberto Humfredum Episcopum subscribere rogaui.

Signum manus Humfredi Episcopi. Signum manus Letharij Episcopi. Signum manus Abbane. Signum manus Aethelpaldi. Signum manus Aespine & aliorum multorum.

Besides this his gift of Tillingham in Essex; dedit viginti quatuor Hidas terre iuxta Londoniam (as the Lieger booke of this Church speakes) the

greatest part of which was afterwards diuided into Prebends, as More, Finnesbury, Oldstreet, Wenlocksborne, Hoxton, Newington, S. Pancrace, Kentishtowne, Totenhall, Ragener, Holborne, Portpole, Iseldon, and there onely remained to the Deane and Chapter, Norton Folgate.

King Athelstan at the request of Bishop Theodred (surnamed the good) gaue Monasterio Sancti Pauli in Londonia Ciuitate, &c. decem Mansas ad Sandonam cum Rode, & octo ad Eardlage (now Yerdley) cum Luffenhede, et decem ad Bylchampe cum Picham, et octo ad Lidwolditon (nunc Hey∣bridge) et duodecim ad Runwellam, et triginta ad Edelfesnesam (now Pauls soken in Essex) et decem ad Breytane, et octo ad Berne; et decem ad Neoldune cum Pislesdune.

King Edgar at the request of Bishop Dunstan, and his third sonne (beau∣tifull young Ethelred) pro sexaginta Mancis auri puri (which is threescore Markes of our English money) dedit ad Monasterium Sancti Pauli viginti quinque Mansiones, in loco qui vocatur Nasinstocke: Which were confir∣med by Etheldred, and diuers succeeding kings.

Canutus or Knute the Dane, king of England, not onely confirmes his predecessours gifts, but also founds and endowes the dignitie of the Dean∣ry, with the Church of Lamborne (in Barkshire) pro victu decani qui pro tempore fuerit, The first Deane whereof was Leuegarus (as appeares by an ancient Catalogue of the Deanes amongst the Antiquities of this Church) whom succeeded Godwynus, Syredus, Gulielmus, Elfwynus, Luiredus, and in the Conquerours time Wolfmannus, after him Radulphus de Diceto, that great and iudicious Antiquarie; Qui velut alter Iosephus, aut Philo, (saith Bale Cent. 2.) suae gentis vetera Monumenta, atque inclita facta perpetuare studens, multa retroactis seculis incognita produxit in lucem.

Edward the Confessour confirmes the gift of Wygaley (now West Lee in Essex) which one Ediua a religious woman gaue, Fratribus Sancti Pauli, and also giues himselfe Monasterio Sancti Pauli, octo Mansas ad Berling, et quinque ad Cynford, now Chyngford in Essex.

Kensworth and Caddington, and diuers other lands were giuen to this Church before the Conquest,* 1.3 all which the Conquerour confirmes by his Charter remaining amongst the Records in the Tower, adding thereunto many ample priuiledges and immunities. Quia volo (saith he) vt ista Eccle∣sia ita sit libera in omnibus, sicut volo esse animam meam in die iudicij. More∣ouer, besides this confirmation, he gaue vnto this Church, and Mauritius the Bishop, the Castle of Stortford or Storford in Hertfordshire, with all the appurtenances belonging thereunto, for euer: and namely, the land which William the Deacon, and Raph his brother held of the king.

William Rufus by his deed sealed, freeth the Canons of Pauls from all works to the walls and Tower of London, and withall confirmes all his fathers donations and priuiledges. This deed was dated at Hereford.

Since which time, one Peter Newport (of which name and family many lie entombed in burnt Pelham, within Hertfordshire) gaue vnto this Church two hundred acres of wood, in Hadley, and Thundersey, in Essex, and fourescore Acres of arable land with a Brewhouse; out of which the Deane and Chapter were to pay a certaine summe of money to a Priest to say Masse for his soule.

Sir Philip Basset knight, gaue Drayton to the Deane and Chapter, to the entent that they should pay 15. l. for euer to three Chapleynes, for the like seruice of saying Masse, and his Executours gaue Hayrstead, out of which there was yearely spent fiue pounds for an Obit.

The Executors of Iohn of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, gaue to this Church the Mannors of Bowes, and Pecleshouse in Midlesex, for the maintenance of certaine Priests, to sing Masse for his soule. And of these Mannors the Church was possest vntill the latter end of king Henry the eight.

The Churches of Willesdon, Sunbury, Brickesley, Rickling, and Aue∣ley, were impropriated to the Deane, and Chapter, by diuers Bishops; the Impropriations whereof were theirs at that time.

Besides their lands and reuenues in the countrey, these Churchmen had diuers houses in the Citie, which were granted sometime Deo et Sancto Pau∣lo, sometime Deo et Sancti Pauli seruientibus, sometime Sancto Paulo et Canonicis. Of these I haue seene many deeds, among which one is most remarkable, dated in the yeare 1141. the sixth of king Stephen, and fastened with a labell to the end of a sticke, of what wood I know not, howsoeuer it remaines to this day free from worme-holes, or any the least corruption, not so much as in the barke. Whereby one Robert Fitz-Gousbert, for his soules health, giues vnto this Church a certaine parcell of land, or an house, containing eight foot in breadth, and sixe in length. Vpon which wood, or sticke, these words following are very faire written, Per hoc lig∣num oblata est terra Roberti filij Gousberti super altare Sancti Pauli in festo omnium Sanctorum. Testibus, &c.

But to make an end of this discourse. Primitiua Ecclosie Sancti Pauli London fundatio (saith the Lieger booke) consistit in Episcopo, triginta maioribus Canonicis, duodecim minoribus, et triginta vicarijs: which dif∣fers from her present state, hauing at this time for her gouernours, a Bishop, a Deane, a Precentor, a Chancellour, a Treasurer, and fiue Archdeacons, viz of London, Middlesex, Essex, Colchester, and S. Albons, and thirty Prebendaries; and besides to furnish the Quire in diuine seruice, Pety-Ca∣nons twelue, Vicars Chorall six, and ten Queristers, &c.

This Bishopricke comprehends the Citie of London, with the counties of Middlesex, and Essex, and the Deanries of Saint Albans, and Braughing in Hertfordshire. And is valued in the kings bookes at 1119. l. 8. s. 4. d. and yeelded the Pope from euery Bishop at his first entrance 3000. Florins, besides sixteene pounds ten shillings for Rome-scot, or Peter-pence. But now to the Monuments.

* 1.4Hic iacet Sebba Rex Orientalium Saxonum qui conuersus fuit ad fidem per S. Erkenwaldum Londinens. Episcopum, anno Christi 677. Vir multum Deo deuotus, actibus religiosis, crebris precibus, & pijs eleemosynarum fru∣ctibus plurimum intentus; vitam priuatam et monasticam cunctis regni di∣uitijs & honoribus preferens. Qui cùm regnasset annis 30. habitum religio∣sum accepit per benedictionem Waltheri Londinens.* 1.5 Antistitis qui prefa∣to Erkenwaldo successit, de quo venerabilis Beda in Historia gentis Ang∣lorum.

The same Author further affirmes, that he not onely relinquished his Princely robes, and put on the habite of a Monke (a thing vsuall (as you

haue heard before) with the Saxon kings in the infancie of Christian Re∣ligion) but also instigated his wife to leaue the momentanie pleasures of Courtly estate, and to follow him in his vertuous deuotions, which with much ado he obtained. Here he continued a Monke in this Monastery (for in his time, saith Radulphus de Diceto, were Monkes in this Church) vntill the day of his death, which happened in the yeare 693.

Of this king Sebba thus much out of a late writer, Mich. Draiton, Polyol. Cant. 11.

Then Sebba of his seed, that did them all surpasse, Who fitter for a Shrine, then for a Scepter was. (Aboue the power of flesh his appetite to sterue That his desired Christ he strictly might obserue) Euen in the height of life, in health, and body strong, Perswaded with his Queene, a Lady faire and young: To separate themselues, and in a sole estate, After religious sort themselues to dedicate.

Hic iacet Etheldredus,* 1.6 Anglorum Rex, filius Edgari Regis, cui in die con∣secrationis post impositam Coronam, fertur S. Dunstanus Cantuar. Archiepis∣copus dira predixisse his verbis. Quoniam aspirasti ad Regnum per mortem fratris tui, in cuius sanguine conspirauerunt Angli cum ignominiosa matre tua, non deficiet gladius de domo tua seuiens in te omnibus diebus vite tue, interficiens de semine tuo quousque regnum tuam transferatur in regnum alienum, cuius ritum et linguam gens cui presides non nouit; nec expiabitur nisi longa vindicta peccatum tuum, et peccatum matris tue, & peccata viro∣rum qui interfuere concilio illius nequam. Que sicut à viro sancto predicta erant, euenerunt. Nam Etheldredus varijs prelijs per Swanum Danorum Re∣gem, filium que suum Canutum fatigatus & fugatus ac tandem Londini arcta obsidione conclusus, misere diem obijt anno dominice incarnationis 1017. post∣quam annis 36. in magna tribulatione regnasset.

This Etheldred being neither forward in action,* 1.7 nor fortunate in his pro∣ceedings, was commonly called, The vnready, an oppressour rather then a ruler of this kingdome, cruell in the beginning, wretched in the middle, and shamefull in the end. Of the calamities of these times by the Danish inua∣sion, will it please you heare my old Author.

Swan with his power to Engelond com,* 1.8 In the xxv yer of Etheldreds kingdom, And in the yer of grace a thowsand and thre He cam and dude sorrow inogh no mor myght be So thilke hii come that this londe they gan ouerfulle As hit wer Emettes creeping fro hur hulle * 1.9 Hii ne sparyd Prest, ne Clerk that hii ne slaw to grounde Ne wemen wyth child wher so hii hem found.

Besides the prophesie of Dunstan, here set downe in this Inscription, and thus ratified by the euent; the transferring of this kingdome to other Na∣tions, was further likewise prophetically foretold by an holy Anchorite,

saith, Hen. Hunting: Englished in these words by the Translatour of Ra∣nulph, Monke of Chester.* 1.10

But among all Englyshemen medled togydres is so grete changyng and diuersyte of clothyng and array, and so many manner of diuerse shappes, that well nigh is ther ony man knowen by his clothyng and his array of whatsoeuer degre that he be. Therof prophezyed an holy Anker in K. * 1.11 E∣gelfreds time in this manner.

Englyshmen for as much as they vse to dronkelewnes, to Treason, and to rechlesnes of Goddes hous, first by Danes, and then by Normans, and atte thirde time by Scottes they shall be ouercome.

Suauis victoria Amor populi. The loue of the people was a pleasant sweet Conquest (a Motto which I saw depicted vnder the Armes of our late So∣ueraigne Lord King Iames, ouer one of the gates at Yorke, vpon his first auspicious entrance into that ancient Citie, Ann. 1603. die Aprilis 16.) Thus for a king to ouercome, was but to come, and to be welcome, to bee receiued of his Subiects in all places, with shouts and acclamations of ioy, demonstrations of truest loyaltie, loue, and obedience, and to be conducted and guarded with an admirable confluence of his Nobilitie, Gentrie, and Commons, vnto the Throne of his lawfull inheritance.

* 1.12Hoc in loco requiescit in domino Erconwaldus tertius post Anglosaxonum in Britannia ingressam Episcopus Londinensis, cuius in Episcopatu, & ante Episcopatum vita fuit sanctissima: ex nobili prosapia oriundus. Offe orienta∣lium Saxonum Regis erat filius, ad fidem Christianam à Mellito primo Lon∣dini Episcopo An. Dom. 642. conuersus.

Is priusquam Episcopus factus esset duo preclara construxit Monasteria sumptibus suis, de bonis que ture hereditario sibi obuenerunt. Vnum sibi in fi∣nibus Australium Saxonum loco qui Certesey vocatur: alterum Edelburge sorori sue femine laudatissime ad Berching in ditione Orientalium Saxonum.

In Episcopatum vero anno salutis, 675. à Theodoro D••robernensium siue Cantuarie Archiepiscopo sacratus est: Sebbam Orientalium Saxonum Regem ad Christi sidem conuertit, et salutari Baptismatis vnda suis manibus per fudit, qui statim mundo renuncians, se totum Deo addixit, & in hac ipsa Ecclesia archa marmorea (que ad nostra vsque tempora permanet) sepultus est. Idem Erconwaldus celeberrimum hoc S. Pauli templum nouis edi∣ficijs auxit, prouentibus locupletauit, et eidem immunitates nonnullas à Re∣gibus impetrauit. Tandem circiter annum Domini 685. spiritum Deo red∣didit, postquam annis vndecim in pontificatu sedisset. Et magnifico sepulchro hic conditus est, quod nostra memoria circiter annum Domini, 1533. hoc loco visebatur.

This carefull holy Bishop Erconwald, not onely bestowed great paines and charges vpon the beautifying and enlarging his Church with faire new buildings,* 1.13 which he enricht with more ample reuenues; and many immu∣nities obtained from diuers kings and Princes; but also procured from Pope Agatho the first, sundry important priuiledges for the good of his Canons. Habetur ergo Erkenwaldus (saith Malmesbury) Londonie maxime sanctus, & pro exauditionis celeritate, fauorem Canonicorum nonnihil emeritus.

* 1.14Venerable Bede, and the Annals of this Church (from whom the most) of this Inscription is borrowed) do attribute many miracles to the holinesse

of this man,* 1.15 in regard of which he was canonized, and his Reliques transla∣ted, Anno salutis millesimo centesimo quadragesimo: and the fourteenth day of Nouember, appointed to be kept sacred to his memory. As in our Ka∣lender may be seene.

Hic iacet Eustachius de Fauconberg quondam Episcopus huius Ecclesie qui multa bona contulit ministris Ecclesie S. Pauli.* 1.16

This Bishop, as appeares by an Inscription annexed to his Tombe, had beene one of the Kings Iustices, Lord Treasurer of England, and twice Em∣bassadour into France. And dyed Octob. 31. 1228. hauing gouerned this See seuen yeares and sixe moneths. Of whom I haue read this Epitaph in an old Manuscript.

Hic iacet Eustachius,* 1.17 redolens vt Asyria nardus, Virtutum multis floribus, & meritis. Vir fuit hic magnus, & Episcopus ..... vt Agnus Vita conspicuus, dogmate precipuus. Pro quo qui transis supplex orare memor sis Vt sit ei saties alma Dei facies.

The like Inscription and Table is to the memory of Henry de Wingham (so named of Wingham in Kent the place of his birth) he had been Cham∣berlaine of Gascoigne,* 1.18 Deane of Totenhall, and Saint Martins, twice Em∣bassadour into France,* 1.19 and Lord Chancellour of England. Rex enim de fide∣litate Domini Henrici de Vuengham experta confisus, qui clericus eius et con∣siliarius extitisset specialis, commisit eidem custodiam Sigilli. He enioyed this Bishopricke but a short time, being taken away by death, Iuly 13. 1262. as appeares by this Epitaph.

De Wengham natus Henricus ad astra leuatus* 1.20 Hic nece prostratus iacet, anno Pontificatus, Ter vix, & Domini, Mil. Sexagint. bis, que bis C. Huic sis saluamen, Deus O, te deprecor. Amen.

Hic requiescit in Domino Rogerus cognomento Niger quondam Canonicus huius Ecclesie S. Pauli:* 1.21 ac deinde in Londinens. Episcopum consecratus, Anno salutis 1228. vir in literatura profundus, moribus honestus, ac per omnia laudabilis, Christiane Religionis amator, ac defensor strenuus; Qui cum pastorale officium vigilanter & studiose rexisset; Annis 14. diem suum clau∣sit extremum apud Manerium suum de Stebunheath: 3. Calend. Octob. Ann. Christi 1241. regnante Rege Hen. 3.

Contigit his diebus, dum Episcopus iste Rogerus in hac Ecclesia ante maius Altare staret infulatus ad celebrandum diuina, quod tanta in aere facta est nubium densitas, vt vix alterum discernere possit, quam confestim sequnta est Tonitrui horribilis concussio, cum tanta fulminis coruscatione, ac fetore in∣tollerabili, vt omnes qui aderant rapide fugientes nihil verius quam mortem expectarent. Solus Episcopus cum vno Diacono remansit intrepidus. Aere tandem purgato Episcopus residuum rei Diuine expleuit.

You may reade more of him, in Mathew Paris, how stoutly hee with¦stood the Popes Nuntio, comming here into England with a proling deuise to scrape vp money for his Master. How this good Bishop cried out vpon the vnreasonable and shamelesse couetousnesse of the Court of Rome, and

how hee was the onely meanes of staying the course of such grieuous ex∣actions.

There you may also reade the fearfull story of this Cymerian darknesse, and horrible thunderclap, which happened vpon the day of S. Pauls con∣uersion, in this Cathedrall Church, the Bishop being then at Masse. Many miracles, saith the same Author, were wrought at his Tombe. But let vs heare his Epitaph.

Ecclesie quondam Presul presentis, in anno M. bis C. quater X. iacet hic Rogerus humatus. Huius erat manibus Domino locus iste dicatus: Christe suis precibus veniam des, tolle reatus.

It was this Bishop Roger, who excommunicated the Caursini (a dange∣rous stout attempt in those dayes) called the Popes Merchants, but they were indeed most execrable Romane Vsurers, who had entangled the king himselfe, most of the Nobilitie, and all others that had to do with the Court of Rome, in their cunning snares. They were called Caursini (saith Paris) quasi capientes vrsi: deuouring Beares.

Orate pro anima Roberti Brabroke ..... quondam Episcopi huius Eccle∣sie, cuius corpus hic tumulatur,* 1.22 qui obijt 27. Augusti 1405. cum sedisset, Ann. 20.

This Bishop was aduanced to the honour of being Lord Chancellour, vpon Saint Mathewes Eue, in the sixth yeare of king Richard the second; which office he enioyed no longer then the March following, vpon some disagreement betwixt him and Iohn of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster. Of which you may reade more at large in Tho. Walsingham, Hist. Angl.

* 1.23Here lieth interred the body of Robert Fitz-Hugh, Bishop of London, Doctor of Law, and sometimes Archdeacon of Northampton, who had beene twice Embassadour, once into Germany, and another time to Rome. Hee was elected Bishop of Ely, but died before his intended translation could be perfected, Septemb. 22. Ann. 1435. To which effect thus speakes his Epitaph.

Nobilis Antistes Robertus Londoniensis, Filius Hugonis, his requiescit honor Doctorum, flos Pontificij quem contulit Ely, Rome Basilie Regia facta refert. Plangite eum Rex, grex, tria natio tota, Extera gens, si qua nouerat vlla pium. Gemma pudicitie, spectrum bonitatis, honoris, Famaque Iusticie, formula iuris erat. Mors violenta rapit viuentem vnde cui mors Extitit, et moritur vita beata tulit. Mille quadragentis triginta quinque sub annis In festo Mauri celica regna petit.

* 1.24Infra capellam istam requiescit corpus Domini Thome Kemp, quondam E∣piscopi London fundatoris eiusdem, et vnius Cantarie perpetue in eadem: qui multa bona tempore vite sue Ecclesie Sancti Pauli, et stetit 39. annis: 84.

diebus: Episcopus London: ac obijt 28. die mens. Martij Ann. Dom. 1489. Cuius anime propitietur Deus. Amen.

This Thomas Kempe was Nephew to Iohn Kempe, Archbishop of Can∣terbury, at whose hands hee receiued Consecration, at Yorke place, now called White hall, Ann. 1449. Febr. 8. his Vnkle being as then Archbishop of Yorke. This Bishop, and not Duke Vmphrey (as it is commonly belee∣ued by report) built,* 1.25 for the most part, the Diuinitie Schooles in Oxford, as they stood before Bodleyes foundation; with walls, Arches, Vaults, doores, towers, and pinnacles, all of square, smooth, polisht stone, and ar∣tificially depainted the Doctors Chaire, to the liuely representation of the glorious frame of the celestiall globle. He built also Pauls Crosse in forme as as it now standeth.

Here lieth Iohn Stokesley Bishop of this Church,* 1.26 brought vp at Magde∣lene Colledge in Oxford, and here enthronized Iuly 19. 1530. Who died Septemb. 8. 1539. A part of his Epitaph as yet remaines inlaid in brasse, which approues him to haue beene a good Linguist, and a great Schollar.

Huius in obscuro tumuli interiore recessit, Stokesley cineres ossaque tecta iacent. Cuius fama patens, vite decus, ingenijque Dexteritas .....luce tamen. Iste Deo, Regique suo, populoque fideli Viueret vt charus perpetuo studuit. Exterius siquidem potuit regionibus .... ....................

Artes quid memorem vanas ad quas penetrauit, Quum 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 auctus honore fuit. .............. Virginis & matris cultori certa supremum, Natalem Marie fata dedere diem.

I reade in the Catalogue of Bishops,* 1.27 and other writers (for all the In∣scriptions of any Antiquitie, made to the memory of other Bishops here interred, are altogether erazed or stolne away) that William a Norman, who enioyed this Bishopricke in the Conquerours time, lieth here interred in the body of the Church. Vnto whom the City of London acknow∣ledgeth it selfe greatly beholding, for that the king, by his meanes and in∣stant suite, granted vnto them all kinde of liberties, in as ample manner as they enioyed them in the time of his predecessour Ed. the Confessour. These are the words of the Conquerours grant, written in the Saxon tongue, and sealed with greene waxe.

Williem king grets Williem Bisceop,* 1.28 and Godfred Porterefan, and ealle ya Burghwarn binnen London Frencisce and Englise frendlice, and ickiden eoy, yeet ic wille yeet git ben ealra weera lagay weore, ye get weeran on Eadwards daege kings. And ic will yeet aelc child by his fader yrfnume, aefter his faders daege. And i•• nelle ge wolian yeet aenig man coy aenis

William king greetes William Bishop, and Godfrey Portgraue, and all the Burrow of London, French and English friendly. And I make knowne to you, that ye be worthy to enioy all that Law and priuiledge which ye did in the dayes of King Edward. And I will that euery childe bee his fathers heire after his fathers decease. And I will not suffer that any man doe vnto you any iniurie. God you keepe.

In thankfulnesse hereof, the Citizens caused to bee engrauen an Epitaph vpon his Tombe in Latine, thus Englished by Iohn Stow.

To William, a man famous in wisedome and holinesse of life, who first with Saint Edward the king and Confessour being familiar, of late preferred to be Bishop of London, and not long after, for his prudencie and sincere fidelitie, admitted to be of Councell with the most victorious Prince Willi∣am king of England, of that name the first, who obtained of the same great and large priuiledges to this famous City. The Senate and Citizens of Lon∣don, to him hauing well deserued, haue made this. Hee continued Bishop twenty yeares, and dyed in the yeare after Christ his natiuitie, 1070.

These marble Monuments to thee thy Citizens assigne, Rewards (O father) farre vnfit to those deserts of thine. Thee vnto them a faithfull friend, thy London people found, And to this Towne, of no small weight, a stay both sure and sound. Their liberties restorde to them, by meanes of thee haue beene, Their publike weale by meanes of thee, large gifts haue felt and seene Thy riches, stocke, and beauty braue, one houre hath them supprest, Yet these thy vertues, and good deeds, with vs for euer rest.

But this Tombe was long since either destroyed by time, or taken away vpon some occasion: yet howsoeuer the Lord Maior of London, and the Aldermen his brethren, vpon those solemne dayes of their resort to Pauls, do still vse to walke to the grauestone where this Bishop lyeth buried, in re∣membrance of their priuiledges by him obtained. And now of late yeares an Inscription fastened to the pillar next adioyning to his graue (called, The reuiuall of a most worthy Prelates remembrance, erected at the sole cost and charges of the right honourable and nobly affected Sir Edward Barkham knight, Lord Maior of the Citie of London, Ann. 1622.) thus speakes to the walkers in Pauls:

* 1.29Walkers, whosoere you be, If it proue your chance to see, Vpon a solemnes skarlet day, The Citie Senate passe this way, Their gratefull memory for to show Which they the reuerend ashes owe Of Bishop Norman here inhum'd; By whom this Citie hath assum'd Large priuiledges. Those obtain'd By him, when Conquerour William raign'd. This being by thankfull Barkhams mynd renewd, Call it the Monument of Gratitude.

Here lieth buried Fulk Basset,* 1.30 Bishop of this Church, preferred hither from the Deanrie of Yorke, a Gentleman of an ancient great family, second brother of that Gilbert Basset, who through the stumbling of his horse, fell in a certaine wood,* 1.31 as hee went a hunting in the haruest time, Ann. 1241. and brake so his bones and sinewes, that within a few dayes after he dyed: and shortly after, euen in the same moneth, the onely sonne of this Gilbert, being a childe, died, whereby that lordlie inheritance came to this Fulk Basset: who, as he was a man of great linage, and also of ample, both tem∣porall, and Ecclesiasticall possessions, so was hee a Prelate of an inuincible high spirit; stout and couragious to resist those insupportable exactions which the Popes Legate Rustandus,* 1.32 went about to lay vpon the Clergie, and at such a time when the Pope and the king, like the Shepheard and the Woolfe, ioyned both together to destroy the Sheepfold. Much what about which time, to the same effect, certaine rimes were scattered abroad, as I haue before set downe in the Diocesse of Canterbury.

Such were the Popes rapines and enormous proceedings in those dayes, all which this stout Bishop withstood to the vttermost of his power. Hee died of the plague here in London, Ann. 1258. hauing gouerned this See 14. yeares odde moneths. A Monument was made to his eternall memory, whereupon this Distich was inlaid in brasse.

Prudens & fortis iacet hac Episcopus arca Bone Iesu.* 1.33 Bassettis ortus, cui parcas summe Hierarcha Bone Iesu.

Here lieth entombed in the North wall, Iohn de Chishull,* 1.34 who sometimes had beene Deane of Pauls, Archdeacon and Bishop of London, Lord Trea∣surer of England,* 1.35 and twice Keeper of the great Seale. He was consecrated Aprill 29. 1274▪ and died the tenth, 1279.

Vpon the Monument of Richard Newport,* 1.36 Bishop of this Church here buried, a little inscription not long since was to be read, expressing the day and yeare of his consecration, which was March 26. 1317. And the like of his death, which happened August 24. 1318. the yeare following.

Raph Baldocke,* 1.37 Deane of this Church, was chosen Bishop vpon Saint Mathias day, 1303. but was not consecrated till the yeare 1305. Ianuary 30. which he receiued at the hands of one Petrus Hispanus, a Cardinall, Bishop of Alba, at Lions in France. He was a man very well learned, and amongst other things, writ an History or Chronicle of England, in the La∣tine tongue.* 1.38 In his life time he gaue two hundred Markes toward the buil∣ding of the Chappell on the East end of this Church, now called, The Lady Chappell; wherein he lieth buried: and in his Will bequeathed much to∣ward the finishing of the same. And here by the way, saith mine Author, it shall not bee amisse to note, that in digging the foundation of this build∣ing, there were found more then an hundred heads of cattell, as oxen, kine, stagges,* 1.39 &c. which seeme to confirme the opinion of those that thinke the Temple of Iupiter was scituate in that place before the planting of Chri∣stian Religion;* 1.40 tooke away those idolatrous sacrifices. This Bishop was chosen Lord Chancellour by king Edward the first. Vpon whose death he sent the great Seale to king Edward the second, as then lying at Carliell. This Raph is mistaken by some writers for Robert Baldock, Bishop of Nor∣wich

(yet I finde no such Bishop of that See in the Catalogue) sometime Archdeacon of Midlesex, and Chancellour of England. Much what about that time, a man that liued in the hatred of most people, whom the old English Chronicle calleth a false peeld Priest:* 1.41 these are the words; Robart Baldok his false pilide Chanceler (being as then Chancellour to Ed∣ward the second) and in another place, Ye pilide clerk Robart Baldok, ye fals Chanceler. Yet this pilide fals clerk was euer trew to the King his Lord and Master: for which he was taken and imprisoned in Newgate London, wherein he miserably ended his dayes. Of which thus writeth the Author of the booke of Durham.* 1.42 Robertus de Baldock Cancellarius 1325. captus cum Hugonibus de despensers, quia Clericus fuit & Sacerdos in nona porta Londiniarum poni fecit Edwardus Princeps et Isabella mater eius, vbi pro nimia miseria mortuus fuit infra breue. But to returne to Raph (for I haue somewhat digressed from the matter) Bishop of this Diocesse, who, when from his first confirmation by Robert of Winchelsey, Bishop of Canterbury, he had sate about eight yeares, died on S. Iames his Eue, 1313. at Stell.

* 1.43Here lyeth buried Michaell Northbrooke, Bishop of this See, Doctor of Law, who had his election confirmed Iuly 7. 1355. and died of the plague, Septemb. 9. 1361. at Copford. This Bishop gaue a chest with a thousand Markes; which money was to bee lent to the poore vpon securitie: as ap∣peares by his will.

* 1.45Here lieth interred vnder a marble stone, neare to the Monument of Sir Christopher Hatton, the body of Richard Clifford, Archdeacon of Canter∣bury, from which dignitie he was preferred to the Bishopricke of Worce∣ster, which he enioyed about six yeares; and from thence translated to this See of London, which hee laudably gouerned thirteene yeares, and some moneths:* 1.46 and died, August 20. 1421. This Bishop in the yeare 1414. tra∣uelled to the Councell of Constance, and preached in Latine before the Em∣perour, and other Estates there assembled. In this Councell the long schisme was ended, and Martin the fifth, called before Otho Columna, Car∣dinall of Saint George, was chosen the sole Pope. The Councell thinking it meete that thirtie persons should be added to the Cardinals in this election; this our Richard Clifford was one of that number. In which also there were some that named him to the Papacie. Himselfe was the first that named the Cardinall Columna: who thereupon, the rest consenting, was immediately elected.

Betweene the two pillars, next vnto the Steeple, on the North side of the body of the Church, vnder a marble stone, ouer which was built a kind of Tombe,* 1.47 or Chappell of wood, that by the burning of the steeple was consumed, and quite defaced; the body of Rich. Fitz-Iames lieth interred. A gentleman of an ancient house, learned and vertuous: Doctor of Law, brought vp in Merton Colledge in Oxford, and sometimes Warden of the

same;* 1.48 from whence hee was aduanced to the Bishopricke of Rochester, from thence translated to Chichester, and from Chichester to London. He bestowed much money in repairing the Church of S. Martins in Oxford, as also in adorning and beautifying this his owne Cathedrall Church. He died in the yeare 1521.

His first wife Blanch,* 1.50 here buried, died of the plague, saith Io. Stow, Ann. 1369. She ordained for her husband and her selfe, a solemne Obit to bee kept yearely in this Church, where the Maior, being present at the Masse with the Sheriffes,* 1.51 Chamberlaine, and Swordbearer, should offer each of them a pennie, and the Maior to take vp twentie shillings: the Sheriffes either of them a Marke, the Chamberlaine ten shillings, and the Sword∣bearer sixe shillings eight pence, and euery other of the Maiors officers (there present) two and twenty pence a peece: the which Obyte, saith Fa∣bian, to this day is holden. She also founded foure Chantrees in this Church for the soules of her selfe and her husband; and was greatly beneficiall vnto the Deane and Canons.

His second wife Constance died in the yeare 1395. whom hee solemnly and Princely interred by his first wife Blanch.* 1.52 She was (saith Walsingham) mulier super feminas innocens, & deuota: A Lady aboue Ladies, innocent, deuout, and zealous. Of his third wife Katherine, when I come to Lincolne Minster, where she lieth entombed.

Henry Lacy,* 1.53 Earle of Lincolne, lieth here entombed in the new worke, which was of his owne foundation, vnder a goodly Monument, with his armed pourtraiture crosse-legged, as one that had professed his vttermost endeauour for defence of the holy Land. Hee was stiled Earle of Lincolne,

Baron of Halton, Constable of Chester, Lord of Pomfret, Blackburnshire, Ros in Wales, and Rowennocke. Hee was Protectour of England whilest King Edward the second was in Scotland, and Viceroy sometime in the Duchie of Aquitaine.* 1.54 Vir illustris in consilio, strenuus in omni guerra & pre∣lio, Princeps militie in Anglia, & in omni regno ornatissimus, saith the booke of Dunmow. By his first wife Margaret (daughter and heire of Willi∣am Longspee, grandchilde of William Longspee Earle of Salisbury) he had two sonnes, Edmund drowned in a Well in Denbeigh Castle; and Iohn, who died young:* 1.55 both of them dead before their father. And one daughter named Alice, married to Thomas Plantaginet, Earle of Lancaster. He died at his house, now called Lincolnes Inne in Chancerie-lane London, Feb. the fifth, 1310. being threescore yeares of age, as I haue it out of the booke of Whalley,* 1.56 in these words.

* 1.57In the same Chappell, dedicated to S. Dunstan, lieth Laurence Allerthorp, sometimes Canon of this Church, and Lord Treasurer of England, with this Inscription.

Hic iacet Laurentius Allerthorp quondam Thesaurarius Anglie, Canoni∣cus & Stagiarius istius Ecclesie, qui migrauit ex hoc seculo mens. Iulij die 21. 1406.

This Allerthorp being a man of no more eminencie in the Church then a Canon resident, was neuer thought of, or not beleeued, by the * 1.58 Collector of the Lord Treasurers, to haue ascended to such an honour, so that he lies here in a darksome roome, as a sacrifice to obliuion; small notice taken of him, except by some few of the Churchmen. Now giue mee leaue to tell you, by way of digression, that howsoeuer this Allerthorp was but one of the Canons resident, yet he was solely the one, and had most or all the re∣uenues of the rest in his hands; for (as the Records of this Church doe ap∣proue) those thirtie Canons vpon the primarie institution, called Canons Regular (because they led a regular life, and were perpetually resident) and afterwards liuing abroad, and neglecting the businesse of their Church, be∣came to be called Canons secular, contenting themselues with the title of Canon, and some prebend assigned vnto them. Which annexing of lands to the Prebendarie was not till a long time after the first foundation: where∣upon Pope Lucius by his Bull ordained, that the Canons non-resident, should not partake of the profits of the lands assigned to the common af∣faires of the Church, but onely such as were resident (the diuision of the Churches lands hauing beene made before in the time of the Conquerour) and this Laurence Allerthorp, at and before the time of his Treasurship, was solus residentiarius, and had the whole reuenue of the rest at his owne disposing, by way of Option, as it is called in the Lieger booke. But of this enough, if not too much. Then to conclude, howsoeuer this Allerthorp be altogether excluded out of the Treatise of the Treasurers, and Sir Iohn Northberie, knight, keeper of the priuie Garderobe in the Tower, said to be Lord Treasurer in the first, second, and third of king Henry the fourth: in which time the said Allerthorp should enioy that office, or not at all. Yet these words in his Patent, together with this Epitaph, do approue him

to haue beene adorned with the honourable Office of a solicitous Lord Treasurer.

Hic requiescit Simon Burly Banerettus, quinque Portuum prefectus,* 1.60 Or∣dinis Garterij Miles, & Ricardo 2. Consiliarius longe charissimus, connubio sibi coniunctas habuit ex amplissimis familijs duas vxores, alteram Staffor∣die, alteram Baronis de Roos filiam. Verum difficillimo illo tempore cum in∣ter Anglie Proceres omnia sub iuuene Principe simultatibus agitarentur, in tantum nonnullorum odium incurrit, vt Parlamentaria authoritate capite plecteretur. Anno Dom. 1388. Posteri autem eadem postea authoritate sub Rege Henrico quarto sunt restituti.

Edward the blacke Prince tooke such affection to this Sir Simon Burley for his valour, wisedome, and true seruice, that he committed to his gouer∣nance his onely sonne (then liuing) Richard of Burdeux; who, being after∣wards king of England, by the name of Richard the second, aduanced him to high honours, offices, and promotions: and nothing was done in mat∣ters of State without his appointment and direction. Thus hee continued alwayes loyall to his Soueraigne Lord the king; yet liued in the hatred of the Peeres of the Land, as also of the common people, for that he leaned to the partie of Robert de Veere,* 1.61 Earle of Oxford, Duke of Ireland, and the kings fauorite, and was an oppressour of the poore Commons: insomuch that by the sentence of that Parliament, which wrought wonders, An. 11. Ric. secundi, hee was condemned of treason, and beheaded on the Tower hill; as in the Inscription.

He was first Vicechamberlaine to king Richard, who made him Con∣stable of Douer Castle, and Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports; deliuering the keyes of the said Castle to the said Simon in signe of possession: so much would he grace him with his presence, thus recorded.

This flower of our English Garden, this learned father of the Law, this blessed man (as this Epitaph would make him) was no better then a bri∣bing Iudge; for, being a chiefe Commissioner for the gouernment of the kingdome, in the absence of Edward the first, he, with many others of his profession, were, at the kings returne, found guiltie by act of Parliament, of manifest corruption,* 1.64 in their administration of Iustice, and deeply fined for such their intolerable extortions. First this Sir Raph Hengham, chiefe Iustice of the higher Bench, was fined to pay to the king seuen thousand Markes.* 1.65 Sir Iohn Loueton Iustice of the lower Bench 3000. Markes. Sir William Brompton Iustice, 6000. Markes. Sir Salomon Rochester, 4000.

Markes. Sir Richard Boyland 4000. Markes. Sir Thomas Sodington 2000. Markes. Sir Walter Hopton 2000. Markes. These foure last were Iustices Itinerants. Sir William Saham 3000. Markes. Robert Lithbury, Master of the Rolls, 1000. Markes. Roger Leicester 1000. Markes. Henry Bray Es∣cheater, and Iudge for the Iewes, 1000. Markes. Robert Preston 1000. Markes. But Sir Adam Stratton, chiefe Baron of the Exchequer, was fined in thirty foure thousand Markes. And Thomas Weyland (found the great∣est delinquent, and of greatest substance) had all his goods, and whole estate confiscated to the king, and withall banished the kingdome.

This Sir Raph Hengham was a Norfolke man borne, as I haue it out of an old Record; these are the words. Radulphus de Hengham ex eadem ortus esse videtur familia, ex qua, Willielmus filius Ade de Hengham et Richardus de Hengham in Pago Norfolciens plerumque Thetfordie Iusticiarij ad Assi∣sas capiendas, et ad Gaolam deliberandam sub initijs Hen. 3. in Archiuis sepe memorantur, Rot. Parl. He flourished in the raignes of Henry the third, and Edward the first, and died in the first yeare of Edward the second, 1308.

* 1.66Hic iacet Magister Fulco Louel, quondam Archidiaconus Colcestrie floruit sub Hen. 3. Rege. I finde no more of this man then what I reade in this In∣scription; but much more of his name,* 1.67 being both ancient and honourable.

It seemes by his armes vpon the pillars, that this Boys was a great repai∣rer of this Chappell,* 1.68 sacred to S▪ George, wherein he lyeth interred.

And vpon the pillar adioyning to this Monument, these verses follow∣ing are engrauen in brasse:

Vnde superbis Homo cuius conceptio culpa, Nasci pena, labor vita, necesse mori. Vana salus hominum, vanus labor, omnia vana; Inter vana nichil vanius est homine.

His Monument is lately reuiued by the Companie of the mystery of Mercers, to whose charge he committed the ouersight of S. Pauls Schoole, with lands worth an hundred and twenty pounds or better, of yearely va∣lue: for the maintenance of a Master, an Vsher, and a Chaplaine; to teach and instruct one hundred fiftie and three poore mens children freely, with∣out any reward. And (as I am told) Vijs & modis, more comes to the Schoolemaster at this day, then the whole endowment.

Iohn Bale saith,* 1.71 that of twenty and two children which his father Hen∣ry Collet (Mercer, and Lord Maior of London) had by Christian his wife, he was the onely childe liuing at his fathers death▪ that he died of the swea∣ting sicknesse, aged sixtie three yeares: that he was brought vp in Oxford, that he trauelled into France and Italie; that he disputed with the Sorbo∣nists in Paris, from whose Tenets hee much dissented; that hee inuayed against Monkes which did not leade an Euangelicall life; and Bishops, Qui pro Pastoribus lupos agebant: that he was eruditione facundus; that he writ many Treatises left in loose papers, which, but by himselfe, could not bee made perfect: That hee taught in his Sermons that it was vnlawfull for a Clergie-man to accumulate riches, and for any man to worship Images: that by Richard Fitz-Iames, then Bishop of London, and two Minorites, Bricot and Standish, he was accused of heresie, and that his corps had beene cast out of his Tombe and burnt, if an vnexpected accident had not pre∣uented his enemies designes.

This man,* 1.73 integer vitae scelerisque purus, as Bale saith, liued for a certaine time in the Isle of Rhodes, and some yeares in Italie, where hee instructed himselfe in all good literature, and made himselfe perfect in many langua∣ges: withall he was quicke, apprehensiue, and ingenious: and therefore en∣tirely beloued of Sir Thomas Moore. He writ diuers bookes, but he is best knowne by his Grammer. Hee was borne in the Towne of Odiham in Hampshire.

Here lieth buried in a Chappell built by himselfe, wherein he founded three Chaplaines, Sir Iohn Poultney,* 1.80 foure times Lord Maior of London: who founded also a Colledge in the Parish Church of S. Laurence, called Poultney. He built also the parish Church, called little Alhallows in Thames street;* 1.81 and the Carmelite Friers Church in Couentrie: hee gaue reliefe to the prisoners in Newgate, and in the Fleet, and ten shillings the yeare to S. Giles Hospitall by Oldborne (now Houlborne) for euer: and other Lega∣cies too long to rehearse. And died in the yeare 1348.

Here lieth Hamond Chickwell Pepperer,* 1.82 who had beene Lord Maior of this Citie, sixe times within nine yeares. And died about the yeare 1328.

Here lieth the body of Anne, daughter of Iohn, Duke of Burgundie, the wife of Iohn Plantaginet, third sonne of king Henry the fourth, Duke of Bed∣ford, Protector of the Realme of England, and head of the common weale. Who died the yeare 1433.

He died in the yeare 1542.

Sir Iohn Beauchampe,* 1.84 Constable of Douer Castle, Warden of the Cinque Ports, knight of the Garter, and Lord Admirall of England, the second sonne of Guy Beauchampe, Earle of Warwicke; lieth buried here in the body of the Church, within a little Chappell. He died Ann. 1360. 34. Ed. 3.

He was also Constable of the Tower of London, as appeares by ancient Records.

Vpon some displeasure (vpon false suggestions) which the King had ta∣ken against him, he was put by this office, and to the same (the truth being tried) restored againe a little before his death. For proofe.

This deceased Nobleman (saith Stow) by ignorant people,* 1.87 hath beene

erroniously mistearmed, and said to bee Duke Humphrey, the good Duke of Glocester; who lieth honourably buried at S. Albans in Hertfordshire. In Idle and friuolous opinion of whom, some men of late times, saith hee, haue made a solemne meeting at his Tombe, vpon Saint Andrewes day in the morning, and concluded on a breakfast, or dinner, as assuming them∣selues to be seruants, and to hold diuersitie of Offices, vnder the said Duke Humphrey.

On the South side of the same Tombe, is this Inscription in brasse.

* 1.88Hic iacet Dominus Richardus de Piriton, quondam Archidiaconus Col∣cestrie, Canonicus et stagiarius huius Ecclesie, qui obijt 26. Aug. Ann. Dom. 1387. Cuius anime propitietur Deus. Amen.

Vpon the wall ouer the little doore that entreth out of Pauls into Saint Faiths Church, is the image of Iesus, curiously painted, as also the pourtrai∣ture of a Lady kneeling in her mantle of Armes, with some of her progeny. These words thereupon being most artificially pensild.

Iesus our God and Sauiour, To vs and ours be gouernour.

Which imagerie or representation was made to the memory of Margaret Countesse of Shrewsbury, who lieth buried in a Chappell within that doore dedicated to the name of Iesus, with this Inscription, which not long since was there to be read vpon a pillar.

* 1.89Here, before the Image of Iesu, lieth the worshipfull and right noble La∣die, Margaret, Countesse of Shrewsbury, late wife of the true and victo∣rious knight, and redoubtable warrior, Iohn Talbot Earle of Shrewsbury: which worshipfull man died in Guien, for the right of this Land. She was the first daughter, and one of the heires of the right famous and renowned knight, Richard Beauchamp, late Earle of Warwicke (which died in Roan) and of Dame Elizabeth his wife. The which Elizabeth was daughter and heire to Thomas, late Lord Berkeley, on his side, and on her mothers side, Ladie Lisle and Tyes. Which Countesse passed from this world the foure∣teenth day of Iune, in the yeare of our Lord, 1468. On whose soule Iesu haue mercy. Amen.

I haue seene a stone in the body of this Church thus inscribed, without any name; yet Armes were vpon the Monument.

Non hominem aspiciam vltra. Obliuio.

This man yet willingly (saith learned Camden) would not haue beene forgotten,* 1.90 when he adioyned his Armes to continue his memory; not vn∣like to Philosophers which prefixed their names before their Treatises of contemning glory.

Another, in the North Cloister now ruinated, without name, had this Inscription vpon his Graue-stone:

Vixi, peccaui, penitui, Nature cessi.

Which was as Christian (saith the same Author) as that was profane of the Romane:* 1.91

Amici Dum viuimus Viuamus.

I haue read these rimes following, engrauen in brasse, vpon a marble∣stone, in the body of the Church, now stolne away.

Istuc qui graderis paulum te sistere queso Et rogitans quid eris in me, nunc vermibus eso. Esto memor mortis, meditare frequenter Ioua: Mors latet in portis, non est euitabilis hora. Effundens loculos, pro Christo despice mundum. Clarificans oculos, vt cernas quo sit eundum. Nam quod quisque serit presentis tempore vite, Hoc sibi messis erit, cum dicitur, ite venite.

The sleight regard of the house of God, was a maine cause of this king∣domes subuersion, as I haue shewed before vpon the Epitaph of king E∣theldred; and it hath euer beene, and more especia••ly is in these our times, an vse for beastly and vncleane persons, to pollute and beda••be the doores and walls of the place where God is to be worshipped, with pisse, or some other more nastie excrements; against the like irreuerence to this goodly consecrated Edifice of Saint Paul, diuers prohibitions vpon certaine penal∣ties haue beene, and are daily, published in print, and pasted vp in ••••iuers places, in and about the Church. And anciently this Atheisticall vncl••••n∣nesse (if I may so call it) was forbidden by a verse depicted at euery doore of this Church; some part of which at the great South doore is yet re••••••∣ning, which in my time might perfectly be read. Thus it runnes.

Hic Locus his sacer est, hic nulli mingere fas est. This house is holy here: vnlawfull ti's For any one, here on her walls to pisse.

And strict orders were likewise published against Beggers, and bearers of burdens, in and thorow the Church: of the later sort these foure lines were sometimes fixed to a pillar, ouer an iron boxe for the poore.

All those that shall enter within the Church doore, With burden or basket, must giue to the poore. And if there be any aske what they must pay, To this Box a penny, ere they passe away.

It could be wished, that walking in the middle Isle of Paules might be forborne in the time of Diuine seruice.

Richard the second,* 1.92 king of England, Ann. Reg. 8. made the pettie Ca∣nons here twelue in number, a Colledge, or fellowship daily to meete and diet together in one Hall; whereas for a long time before they liued disper∣sedly, and could not be so ready to serue the most Highest in their holy ex∣ercises. Hee appointed one Iohn Linton for the first Warden of this Col∣ledge, and gaue vnto the said Warden and Canons of the foresaid Fellow∣ship, certaine lands here in London for their further endowment, and the supporting of diuine seruice. Charging them by his Charter to pray for his prosperous estate liuing, and for his soules health when he should depart this world: and for the soule of Anne his wife, Queene of England: and

for the soules of his and her progenitors, parents, and ancestors, and of all the faithfull people deceased.

* 1.93Howsoeuer the Story of Brute be denied by some learned Authors, or not permitted but by coniecture; as Selden hath it in his Illustrations vpon this verse of Michaell Drayton, which now the enuious world doth slander for a dreame.

Yet because I finde him, in our Annals, to haue beene buried here in this Citie, of his owne foundation, as both by reason and authority it is strong∣ly argued by a most iudicious Antiquarie of the last age; I think it not amisse to speake somewhat of him (especially) in this place, as the truth of the sto∣rie is generally receiued.

* 1.94Brute (the sonne of Siluius, the sonne of Ascanius, who was the sonne of Aeneas the warlike Troian) being deliuered from the long captiuitie vn∣der the Grecians, with his wife Innogen and his people, departed from the coasts of Greece, and arriued in an Island, where they consulted with an Oracle, sacred to Diana. Brute himselfe kneeling before the Idoll, and hold∣ing in his right hand a boule prepared for sacrifice full of wine, & the bloud of a white Hinde; made his imprecation to the Goddesse to this effect in English.

* 1.95Thou Goddesse that doest rule the woods and forrests greene, And chasest foaming boares that fly thine awfull sight: Thou that mayest passe aloft in aerie skies so sheene; And walke eke vnder earth in places voide of light: Discouer earthly states, direct our course aright, And shew where we shall dwell, according to thy will, In seats of sure abode, where Temples we may dight For Virgines that shall sound thy land with voices shrill.

After this prayer and ceremonie done, according to the Pagan rite and custome, Brute abiding his answer, fell asleepe: in which sleepe appeared to him the said Goddesse vttering this answer.

Brute, farre by West beyond the Gallike land is found An Isle, which with the ocean seas inclosed is about. Where Giants dwelt sometime, but now is desart ground, Most meet where thou maiest plant thy selfe with all thy rout. Make thitherwards with speed; for there thou shalt finde out An euer-during seat, and Troy shall rise anew, Vnto thy race, of whom shall kings be borne, no doubt, That with their mighty power the world shall whole subdew.

Brute was no sooner awaked then that he related this his dreame or vi∣sion to such of his companie, as he thought requisite to be acquainted with such a matter of importance; after great reioycing and ceremonious thanks¦giuing, they ioyntly resolued to seeke out this fortunate Island, and so re∣turned to their ships, with great ioy and gladnesse, as men put in comfort to finde out the wished seats for their firme and sure habitations, prophe∣sied

and promised vnto them by the Oracle; not long after

Per varios casus per tot discrimina rerum. Passing through many dangers, by sea, by land, 'mongst strangers:

They landed at Totnes in Deuonshire, about the yeare of the world, 2855. and before Christs natiuitie, 1108. Of which M. Drayton Polyol. Song. 1.

Mye Britaine-sounding Brute; when with his puissant fleete At Totnesse first he toucht.

Brute hauing taken a view of this Island, and destroyed all such as stood against him, commanded that the Isle should be called Brutaine (which be∣fore was called Albion, peopled with gyants) and the inhabitants thereof Britaines, or Brutaines, allusiuely after his owne name. Within a short time after his arriuall, he laid the foundation of a Citie, which he named Troy∣nouant, or new Troy (now London) vpon a plot of ground lying on the North side of the riuer of Thames, which he built in remembrance of that noble City of Troy, from whence hee and his people were descended, as also to bee the seat Royall, and chiefe Chamber of his imperiall king∣dome. He also built a Temple to the honour of his Pagan Gods and God∣desses. Which stood (by coniecture) in the same place where now this Ca∣thedrall Church of Saint Paul is erected: in which idolatrous Archflamen he bequeathed his body to be buried. Here in his new Citie, when he had established certaine lawes, teaching his people to liue after a ciuill order and fashion; also to build townes and villages, to worship the Gods, to till and plow the earth, to weare apparrell, to anoint and trimme their bodies: and to be short, to liue after an humane manner, and had holden the regiment of this kingdome right nobly the space of twenty and foure yeares, hee de∣parted the world. Hauing parted his dominions into three parts, amongst his three sonnes, Locrine, Camber, and Albanact: with condition, that the two younger brethren should hold of the eldest, and to him doe homage and fealtie.

Brute tooke shippe and arriued in Albion;* 1.96 Where Diane said, should been his habitation; And when he came the coasts of it vpon, He was full glad, and made great exultacion.

And afterwards vpon the alteration of the name of Albion, the building of London, the establishing of his lawes, the diuision of his Empire, as also of his death and buriall, the same Author hath these verses.

This Brutus, thus was king in regalite, And after his name, he called this Ile Briteyn; And all his menne by that same egalite He called Briteynes, as croniclers all saine.

So was the name, of this ilke Albion, All sette on side, in Kalandes of a change, And putte awaye with great confusion, And Briteyn hight; so furth by new exchange After Brutus.

The citee great of Troynouaunt so faire He buylded then on Thamys for his delite Vnto the North for his dwellyng, and for his most repaire Whiche is to saie in our language perfite New Troy.

In whiche throughout his peace and law he sette, Whiche been the floures of all regalite; With out whiche, but if thei twoo be mette, There may no Prince hold principalite, Ne endure long in worthy dignite. For if those twoo be nought vpholden than; What is a kyng more worth then his liege man.

This kyng Brute kepte well this Isle in peace; And sette his lawes of Troye with orders, rites, And consuetudes, that might the land encreace, Such as in Troye was most profittes, Vnto the folke, and the common profettes. He made theim wryten for long rememory, To rule the Isle by theim perpetually.

His menne he did rewarde full royally With lands and rentes, that with hym suffred pain▪ And Troynouaunt he made full specially An Archflaume, his sea Cathedrall certain, A Temple thereof Apolyne to opteyne By Troyane lawe of all such dignite As Archbyshop hath now in his degre.

This kyng Brutus made people faste to tylle The land aboute, in places both farre and nere; And sowe with sede, and get them corne full wele, To liue vpon, and haue the sustenaunce clere, And so in fields both farre and nere; By his wysdome, and his sapience, He sette the lande in all suffycience:

And as the fate of death doth assigne That nedes he muste his ghoost awaye relees To his goddas Dyane he did resigne His corps to be buryed withouten lees In the Temple of Apolline, to encreace His soule amonge the goddes euerychone After his merites tronized high in trone.

It is said (saith Sir Edward Coke to the Reader of the third part of his Reports) that Brutus the first king of this land, as soone as hee had setled himselfe in his kingdome, for the safe and peaceable gouernment of his people, wrote a booke in the Greeke tongue, calling it, The Lawes of the Britanes: and he collected the same out of the Lawes of the Troianes. Brute

died after the Creation, 2806. yeares, before the Incarnation, 1103. Sa∣muel then Iudge of Israel.

Robert of Glocester, my old Mss. hath these rimes touching some pas∣sages in this History of Brute.

Brute wende * 1.97 fory in * 1.98 ye lond, and espied vp and doun For to seche a fair plas to mak * 1.99 an heued toun. He com and fond vpe Temese a place fair ynough, A good contre and plenteuous, and * 1.100 yuder his herte drough: Yat shippes out of eche londe myght bryng good ywys; * 1.101Yer he rerd hys chefe toun yat London cleped ys, Yet so ne cleped he it nought, but for honour and ioye Yat he from Troie comen was, he cleped it new Troye. Bruit yis ilke noble Prince, Sones had thre By his wyff Ignogent, noble men and fre: Locryn, and Camber, and Albanack also. Atte last diede Brut. Yo thys was ydo Aftur yat he com into Engelond ye xxiiii yere: I buryed he was at London yat he lette furst arere.

Thus much of king Brute, as the brute of him goes, and as the vulgar receiued opinion is, the maine points of his story being brought into que••stion by many of our learned authenticall writers.

The Conquerour William brought with him from Roane in Normandy certaine Iewes,* 1.102 whose posterity here inhabiting within the prime Cities of the kingdome, did vse sometimes to steale away, circumcise, crowne with thornes, whip, torture, and crucifie some one of their neighbours male chil∣dren, in mockery, despite, scorne, and derision of our Lord and Sauiour Iesus Christ, crucified by the Iewes in Ierusalem.

In the yeare 1235. the 19. of Hen. the third, seuen Iewes were brought before the king at Westminster, which at Norwich had stolne a boy, and kept him from the sight of Christian people, for the space of one whole yeare, and had circumcised him, minding also to haue crucified him at the solemnitie of Easter, as themselues confessed before the king; whereof they were conuicted, their bodies and goods remaining at the kings pleasure.

In the 39. of the said kings raigne, vpon the 22. day of Nouember; one hundred and two Iewes were brought from Lincolne to Westminster, and there accused, for the crucifying of a child of eight yeares old, named Hugh: these Iewes were vpon examination sent to the Tower: the murther came out by the diligent search made by the mother of the childe; eighteene of them were hanged; the other remained long in prison.

In the seuenth of Ed. the first, the Iewes at Northampton crucified a Christian boy vpon Goodfriday, but did not throughly kill him. For the which fact many Iewes at London after Easter, were drawne at horse tailes and hanged.

Not long after this, to wit, in the eighteenth yeare of this kings raigne, all the Iewes were banished out of England, the number of which so expul∣sed,

was fifteene thousand and threescore persons; to whom was giuen no more money, but onely to beare their charges, vntill they were out of the kingdome. The rest, both goods and lands, was seised vpon for the Kings vse.

But to returne backe againe to the story of the martyred boy, in deroga∣tion and despite of Christian Religion.

* 1.103Vpon the day of the Kalends of August, 1223. Ann. Reg. Hen. 3: the body of a young boy, in the Church-yard of S. Benet at Paules-wharfe, was found buried, vnder whose paps certaine Hebrew letters were inscribed: vpon his body diuers prints, markes, cuts, and rents, caused by rods and whip-cords, besides many other signes of various torments, by the said boy sustained, were easie to be discerned. The name of the boy was found out by those Characters; and withall, how that hee was sold by his Christian parents: but by whom, or to which of the Iewes hee was sold, or to what end, could neuer be knowne. Howsoeuer it was concluded, that the buyers of the boy intended to haue had him crucified. Yet crucified he was not; in regard no print of the nailes, either in his hands or feet, or any wound in his side appeared. Many miracles were said to be wrought at the graue, and by the reliques of this young innocent Martyr. Whereupon the Canons of Saint Pauls Church, tooke forcibly away the sacred remaines of this holy Martyr, out of the said Church-yard, and solemnly enshrined them in their owne Church, not farre from the high Altar.

* 1.104On the North side of this Church was sometime a great Cloyster, inui∣roning a plot of ground, called, Pardon Church-yard, whereof Thomas More, Deane of Pauls, was either the first builder, or an especiall benefactor, and was therein buried.

In this Cloyster were buried many persons; some of worship, and some of honour. The Monuments of whom (saith Stow in his suruay of London) in number and curious workmanship, passed all other that were in the great Church.

About the Cloyster, was artificially and richly painted the dance of Death,* 1.105 commonly called, the dance of Pauls, the Picture of death leading all estates▪

* 1.106In the midst of this Pardon Church-yard, was a faire Chappell, first founded by Gilbert Becket (Portgraue and principall Magistrate (as now the Lord Maior is) of this Citie, father of Tho. Becket the Martyr, Arch∣bishop of Canterbury) who was therein buried; in the raigne of King Stephen. Thomas More Deane of Pauls, before mentioned, reedified, or new builded this Chappell, and founded three Chaplaines there in the raigne of Henry the fifth.

* 1.107In the yeare 1549. on the tenth of Aprill, the said Chappell, by com∣mandement of Edward Duke of Somerset, Lord Protector, was begun to be pulled downe, with the whole Cloyster, the Tombes and Monuments: so that nothing of them was left, but the bare plot of ground, which is since conuerted into a garden, for the Petty Canons.

There was a Chappell at the North doore of Pauls, founded by Walter Sherington,* 1.108 Chancellour of the Duchie of Lancaster, by licence of King Henry the sixth, for two, three, or foure Chaplaines, indowed with fourty

pound by the yeare. This Chappell was also pulled downe, in the raigne of Edward the sixth, at the commandement of the said Protector; and in place thereof an house builded.

There was on the North side of Pauls Churchyard,* 1.109 a large charnell-house for the bones of the dead, and ouer it a Chappell, founded vpon this occasion as followeth.

In the yeare 1282. the tenth of Edward the first, it was agreed, that Henry Walleis, Maior, and the Citizens, for the cause of Shops by them builded, without the wall of the Church-yard, should assigne to God, and to the Church of Saint Paul, ten Markes of rent by the yeare for euer, to∣wards the new building of a Chappell of the blessed Virgine Mary, and al∣so to assigne fiue Markes of yearely rent to a Chaplaine to celebrate there.

And in the yeare 1430. the 8. of Henry the sixth, licence was granted to Ienken Carpenter, Towne-clerke of London (Executour to Richard Whittington) to establish vpon the said Charnell, a Chaplaine to haue eight Markes by the yeare. There was also in this Chappell two Brother∣hoods.

Sir Henry Barton knight (the sonne of Henry Barton of Mildenhall in Suffolcke) Lord Maior of London,* 1.110 in the yeare 1427. Robert Barton, and Sir Thomas Mirfin knight (sonne to George Mirfin of Ely in Cambridge∣shire) Lord Maior of this Citie, the yeare 1518. were entombed with their pourtraitures of Alabaster ouer them, grated, or coped about with iron, before the said Chappell; all which with many other Tombes ann Monu∣ments of the dead, were pulled downe, together with the said Chappell; at the commandement likewise of the forenamed Duke of Somerset.

The bones of the dead couched vp in the Charnell-house, vnder the Chappell, were conuayed from thence into Finsbery field, amounting to more then a thousand cart load (saith Stow) and there laid on a moorish ground; in short space after raised, by soilage of the Citie vpon them, to beare three Mills. The Chappell and charnell-house were conuerted to dwelling houses, warehouses, and sheds before them for Stationers in place of the Tombes.

Neare vnto this Chappell was a bell house with foure Bells,* 1.111 the great∣est in London, they were called Iesus Bells, and belonged to Iesus Chappell, the same had a great spire of timber, couered with lead, with the image of Saint Paul on the top; which was pulled downe by Sir Miles Partridge knight, in the raigne of Henry the eight. The common speech then was (saith Stow) that this Sir Miles Partridge did set an hundred pound vpon a cast at dice against it, and so wonne the said Bell-house and Bells of the King: and then caused the Bells to bee broken as they hung, and the rest pulled downe.

This Sir Miles was hanged on the Tower-hill the 26. of February, in the sixth yeare of Edward the sixth, for matters concerning the Duke of Somerset: howsoeuer guiltlesse of any offence, either against the king, or his Councell, as he tooke it vpon his death.

There was a faire Chappell of the holy Ghost, on the North side of Pauls Church,* 1.112 founded in the yeare 1400. by Roger Holmes, Chancellour and Prebendary of Pauls, for seuen Chaplaines, and called Holmes Colledge.

Their common Hall was in Pauls Church-yard on the South side. This Colledge was suppressed in the raigne of Ed. the sixth.

In this Chappell were buried Adam de Bury, Alderman, and Lord Maior of London,* 1.113 in the yeare 1364.

Anne, the daughter of Iohn, Duke of Burgundy, the first wife of Iohn Plantaginet (third sonne of king Henry the fourth) Duke of Bedford, who died in the yeare 1433.

* 1.114Sir Iohn Poultney knight, foure times Maior of London, in the yeare 1337. builded a faire Chappell on the North side of Pauls Church; where∣in he was buried. He founded a Colledge in the Parish Church of Saint Laurence,* 1.115 called Poultney. Hee builded the Parish Church of little Alhal∣lowes in Thames street, and the Carmelite Friers Church in Couentrey. He gaue releefe in Newgate, and in the Fleet; and ten shillings a yeare to Saint Giles Hospitall by Oldborne for euer. And other Legacies (saith Stow, speaking of the Honour of Citizens) too long to rehearse. He died about the yeare 1348 But of him I haue spoken somewhat before.

Vnder the Quire of Pauls, is a large Chappell, dedicated to the name of Iesu,* 1.116 by whom founded I do not know. But it was thus confirmed in the 37. of Hen. the sixth, as appeareth by his patent thereof, dated at Crow∣downe to this effect.

* 1.117Many liege-men, and Christian people, hauing begun a Fraternitie, and Guild, to the honour of the most glorious name of Iesu Christ our Sauiour, in a place called the Crowds of the Cathedrall Church of Pauls in Lon∣don, which hath continued long time peaceably, till now of late. Where∣upon they haue made request, and wee haue taken vpon vs the name and charge of the foundation, to the land of Almighty God, the Father, the Sonne, and the holy Ghost, and especially to the honour of Iesu, in whose honour the Fraternitie was begun, &c.

It was likewise confirmed by Hen. the 7. the 22. of his raigne, and by H. 8. the 27. of his raigne.

In this Chappell lieth buried, Margaret the eldest daughter and coheire of Richard Beauchampe, Earle of Warwicke, second wife of Iohn, Lord Talbot (the Terrour of France) first of that Surname, Earle of Shrewsbury: But of her I haue spoken before.

Many haue beene here interred, as Iohn of London, vnder the North∣roode, 1266. Iohn Louell; Iohn of Saint Olaue, and Sir Allen Boxhul; with others, as you may reade in the Suruay of London. This Sir Allen Boxhul was knight of the Garter, in Edward the thirds dayes, and neare vpon the first foundation of that honourable order. He was Constable of the Tower, custos of the Forest, and Parke of Clarendon, the Forest of Brokholt, Grouell, and Melchet, a man highly in fauour with the said king Edward. Hee was buried by Saint Erkenwalds shrine; about the yeare 1380. And here I think it will not bee vnfitting to set downe the number of the Shrines sacred to the honour of diuers Saints in the Cathedrall Church, as they stood in the yeare 1245.

* 1.118First, the Shrine of S. Erkenwald, which was very sumptuous, the fourth Bishop of this See, which stood in the East part of the Church aboue the high Altar.

The Shrine of S. Mellitus, first Bishop of this Diocesse, afterwards of Canterbury.

The Shrine of Richard Fitz-Neile, Bishop of London, Ann. 1189.

The Shrine of Egwolphe, or Egtulphe here Bishop, all beset with pre∣cious stones, he was the seuenth Bishop of this Diocesse, as then called Bi∣shop of the East Angles. He was a learned man, and so shewed himselfe in the Conuocation holden by Cuthbert, Archbishop of Canterbury, Ann. 747.

There was also a glorious Shrine, super magnum Altare, but to whose holinesse dedicated I do not reade.

Here sometimes was a Shrine, with a portable coffin, in the same place where Sir William Cockaines Tombe is erected; with an Altar, built to the honour of God, the blessed Virgine, S. Laurence, and all Saints; by one Ro∣ger Waltham, Precentour of the Church, as did appeare by this Inscripti∣on following, which was legible, though somewhat erazed, before the ere∣ction of the foresaid Monument.

Hoc Altare in honore Dei, & beate Virginis Marie Matris eius, ac Sancti Laurentij Martyris, & omnium Sanctorum construxit, & hanc Voltam cum adiacentibus picturis Martyris et Ymaginum in Septis ereis hic posuit: & cum duabus Caglarijs suis per perpetuum .... Dominus Rogerus Waltham, hu∣ius Ecclesie Precent........pro salute anime sue, et pro salute anime Regine ...... & omnium ........ Amen.

There was likewise a Chantrie with an Altar sacred to the blessed Vir∣gine Mary, contiguous to the Bishops pallace, and the body of the Church, founded by Sir Gerard Braybroke knight, Edmund Hamden, Iohn Boys, Es∣quires, and Roger Albrighton, Clerke: for one Chantrie Priest daily to say Masse, and pray for the soule of Robert Braybroke, Bishop of London, then liuing, and for his soule whensoeuer he should passe out of this world. For ••he soule of Nicholas Braybroke, late Canon of this Church: and for the soules of all the faithfull departed. As may appeare by these Deeds follow∣ing, copied out of the originals, vnder seale, in the custodie of Sir Simonds Dewes, knight.

I gather by the premisses, howsoeuer I may be mistaken, I confesse, that the Court of Delegates is kept at this day, in the very place of the old Chantrie.

Many Chantries, Chappels, Oratories, Altars and Shrines, more then I haue notice of, were erected, honoured and founded within the spacious vast Fabricke of this Episcopall Chaire: the beauty whereof is so magnifi∣cent (saith Malmesbury) that it deserueth to be numbered in the ranke of most excellent Edifices.* 1.119 It containeth in length sixe hundred and ninetie foot; the breadth thereof is one hundred and thirtie foot; the height of the West arched roofe from the ground, carrieth an hundred and two foot:

and the new Fabricke from the ground is fourescore and eight foot high. The stone-worke of the Steeple from the plaine ground riseth in height two hundred and threescore foot: and the timber frame vpon the same is two hundred seuenty foure foot high, &c. It was no lesse then fiue hundred and foure and thirty foot high from the ground, before that in the yeare of our Lord, 1087. it was set on fire with lightning, and burnt with a great part of the Citie.

Nostre Dame, the Cathedrall Church in Paris, is much spoken of for her magnitude, whose dimensions are there engrauen to shew the greatnesse thereof, in these verses following.

Si tu veux scauoir comme est ample De Nostre Dame le grand Temple: Il a dans oeuure pour le seur; Dix et sept toises de haulteur, Sur la largeur de vingt quatre•• Et soixante cinq sans rabattre, A de long. Aux tours hault montee•• Trente quatre sont bien comptees Le tout fondé sur pilotis, Ainsi vray que ie te le dis.

Thus, in effect, in English.

If you would know the greatnesse of the great Church of our Lady, the roofe thereof is seuenteene fathome high; it is twenty and foure fathome broad, sixtie and fiue fathome long; the two Steeples are thirtie and foure fathome high aboue the Church, and all founded vpon piles.

Now I leaue it to my Reader (taking a fathome for an Ell) to make the difference betwixt the ample extensure of these two religious structures.

Since the building and foundation of this Church and Bishopricke of London by King Ethelbert (which is much-what about a thousand and twenty sixe yeares ago) eightie and nine Bishops haue succeeded one ano∣ther in this Hierarchie or holy gouernance, which at this day is right wor∣thily ruled, ouerseene, and guided by the right reuerend Father in God, and prudent States-man, William La••d, one of his Maiesties most honou∣rable priuie Councell.

And thus I will take leaue of this sacred Edifice, and make a few steps downe into the Parish Church of Saint Faith; commonly called, S. Faiths vnder Pauls; wherein I do no finde any ancient funerall Inscription much remarkable, excepting one engrauen vpon the marble, which couers the body of one William West, a Canon of Saint Pauls, a Cardinall of the same Church, a good companion, a man vniuersall, affable, and curteous, a Fel∣low of faire demeanour amongst his Brotherhood, as hee is here stiled to his great commendation.

Now a word or two before I set downe his Epitaph, of the title of Car∣dinall; Which is deriued from the Latine word Cardo, the hooke or hing of a doore: for as the doore hangs and depends on the hinges, so the Church on the Cardinalls. Or veluti Cardine regitur ostium, ita Ecclesia regitur bono eorum consilio: As the doore is ruled by its Hinges, so the Church is

gouerned by their good counsell. They are also accounted, by some, ho∣nourable increasers,* 1.120 Rulers and preseruers of all such matters which con∣duce to Christian pietie, and the defence of the Bishops power and au∣thoritie.

In the See of Rome, at this day, they haue the chiefest charge, and are di∣uided into three orders, that is to say, of Bishops, Priests, and Deacons: not that the Cardinals Priests be no Bishops, or that the Deacons be not Priests and Bishops, but for that their first institution was such, some to carrie the titles of Bishops, others of Priests, and some of Deacons.

The Cardinalls which are Bishops, sit neare vnto the Pope, when hee doth celebrate Festiuall dayes: The Cardinalls Priests assist him when he saith Masse: and the Deacons attire him, and serue him at the Altar.

They haue there their Colledge, whereof the Pope is head; the number of them hath not beene certaine in our dayes: at this time there are about sixty and eight; although we find that in former ages, they were but twelue, after the example of the Apostles: They assemble themselues together once or twice a weeke, as affaires of importance come to their considerations; and this their assemblie is called the Consistory; where they treat (or at least they ought to treat) of all things▪ which belong vnto the faith and Reli∣gion; to the peace of Christians, and to the preseruation of the temporall estate of the Church.

I finde nothing of Cardinalls vntill the dayes of Gregory the Great. Quo tempore Episcopi indifferenter Cardinales faciebant,* 1.121 et Papa Cardinales in Episcopos promouebat. Yet some are of opinion, that the first beginning of Cardinals was in the time of Pontianus the Pope, which was circa Ann. 231. and Marcellus after him, circa Ann. 304. ordained fifteene, or rather twenty fiue Cardinals in the Citie of Rome, propter Baptismata et sepultu∣ras hominum. And when as first these Cardinals were instituted in the Ro∣mane Church, Pauperculi erant Romae in suis titulis habitantes. They were poore and necessitous, liuing at Rome in their owne titles.

And Gregory the Great, in one of his Epistles to Maximian the Bishop of Syracusa, writes the like of the pouertie of one Felix, a Deacon Cardi∣nall. For whose sustentation he thus prouides.

* 1.122Sustentationem eius pietatis intuitu prouidentes, in tua Ecclesia Syracu∣sana, eum prenidimus cardinandùm, &c. siue vt officium Diaconatus expleat, se certe vt solae eiusdem officij, pro sustentanda paupertate sua, commoda con∣sequatur.

Howsoeuer then, that the Cardinals of Rome at this day doe abound in all affluence of riches; and like stately Cedars, looke ouer the smaller sprigs of the Clergie: yet considering the Primitiue times, our Cardinals of Saint Pauls are not to be contemned for their meane competencie of liuely hood: hauing sufficient to maintaine their reuerent comportment. Of whom giue me leaue to speake a little out of the Records of the Church.

* 1.123The Church of Saint Paul had before the time of the Conquerour, two Cardinalls, which office still continues.

They are chosen by the Deane and Chapter, out of the number of the twelue petty Canons, and are called Cardinales chori: the Cardinals of the Quire.

Horum officium est circumspicere quotidie & notare omnia in choro de∣licta & peccata,* 1.124 &c.

Their office is to take notice of the absence or neglect of all the Quire, and weekely to render accompt thereof to the Deane and Chapter.

Hi duo etiam Cardinales Ministris Ecclesie & Seruis eorum ••um sanis t••m egrotis Ecclesiastica ministrant Sacramenta.

These two Cardinals doe minister Ecclesiasticall Sacraments to the Mi∣nisters of the Church and their seruants, as well to the healthfull as to the sicke.

Con••essiones audiant & penitentias iniungant salutares; Mortuos postrem•• conuenientibus tradunt Sepulturis.

They heare Confessions, and appoint comfortable Penance: and lastly they commit the dead to conuenient Sepulture.

Not any Cathedrall Church in England hath Cardinals excepting this, neither doe I finde any beyond Seas, to be dignified with this title, sauing the Churches of Rome, Rauenna, Aquileia, Millaine, Pisa, Beneuentana, in Italy, and Compostella in Spaine.

These Cardinals haue the best preheminence in the Quire, aboue all, next to the Subdeane, and the best Stalls.

But at the length let me descend into Saint Faiths, and to the Graue-stone of my Canon and Cardinall William West.
