said City, and the Bishop of this Church Founder of the Lazar-house of St. Mary Magdalen without the Southgate of the said City, the cause of which exchange was this; the Lazar people did upon every Market day come into the Market with a Clap-dish, and went from one person to another to beg Corn, and all other Victuals there brought to be sold; which liberty they claimed by the grant of Bishop Bartholomew Iscanus, who by his Deed dated 13. Februar. 1163. granted to the said sick people a Toll of all Corn and Bread sold in the several Markets and Fairs of this City, also that they should collect the Citizens Alms on certain days of the week. The poor people having received these the Bishops blessings, came into the said Markets accordingly with their Clap-dishes, demanding the said Toll; but the peo∣ple (having not been acquainted with any such Custom, and withal not brooking such ugly faces, nor the intruding of such sick folk amongst them) some gave them rough speeches, others shunned their company, and the rest forbad them of the said Marker, in∣somuch that the Alms-people found there little relief, wherewith the Bishop was much grieved: which to allay, this permutation was made, that the Bishop and his Successors should from thenceforth be Patrons of St. John's Hospital, and the Mayor and Citizens should be Patrons of St. Mary Magdalen's Hospital aforesaid, which was observed ac∣cordingly.
Bishop Brewer having well governed this Church nineteen years and upwards, 24. Ju∣lii died, and lies buried in the middle of the Quire of his own Church under a very fair Marble-stone, thus inscribed. Hic jacet Willielmus Brewer quondam hujus Ecclesiae Cathedralis Episcopus, Fundator etiam quatu∣or principalium ejusdem Ecclesiae dignitatum.
