T O TO THE A. D E I N C E it has been my Good Fortune to light upon the enfuing Work, and to offer it to the Publick, fo many Tears after its Author s Death ; That the Reader may have no Sufpicion that any Thing is imposd upon him under the celebrated Name of Sir William Dugdale, / think myfelf obligd to give him this Plain Account, how it came into my Hands. At the beginning of the lafl Tear, being in Company with Mr, Dug- dale, ( fince Deceased, ) at the Right Honourable the Lor d DigbyV, in Warvvick-fliire, upon fome Difcourje that arofe about his Grand- father, Sir William Dugdale, J was fpeaking with Admiration, not only of his great Genius, but his wonderful Induftry, fcarcely to be parallel'd, who had written and publifKd fo many Polios, both in Latin and Englifh, on fuch Uncommon and Difficult Sub]eBs ; and fo written, that their Reputation an / Authority was ffill every Day growing, and their Value increased, Moft of them to Double, and fome to Treble the Trice for which they had once been fold ; ( a thing fcarce known in any other Englifh Books.) Vpon this he told me, That be/ides all that his Grandfather had Publifh'd, he had left no lefs than Eight or Ten Manufcript Folio's, all fairly written in his own fmall Print-hand, which he invited me to come and fee at his Houfe, with kind Offer of Lending me any Thing that I Jhould dejire to Perufe. Though my Genius had never led me to the fame Studies with Sir William Dugdale, yet I readily accepted fuch an Invitation: But when I came, I found thofe Folio's to be only his Adverfaria, or Mifcellany Colletlions of any thing Curious that he met with in the Courfe of his Reading, (which yet might be of good Service to other Learned Antiquaries ) but Nothing that feemd Intended for the Prefix not fo much as a Sketch of any formed Defign, except only this Second Edition of his Hiftory and Antiquities of St. PauTs, which was a all To the READER, all completely fini/Fd with his own Hand, even to the Title-Page, and ready [cord out for the Frefs, with a New Introduction, and many Additions in federal Places, to the Quantity of fome Sheets in all ; bejides an Account of the New Building of St. Paul'j from Tear to Tear, as long as be livd ; with a Catalogue of the fever al Bene- factors, and the Sums they gave towards the Building of it, he being one of the Commijfioners appointed for that Work : And, which is abun- dantly more than all the reft together, An Hiftorical Account of the Northern Cathedral and Collegiate Churches, which is altogether New. This, I told him, was a Treafure, of which he ought not to deprive the World, nor his Grandfather of the farther Honour that it would do to his Name and Memory, when it Should thereby appear, that he was, even at that great Age, labouring for the Publick to the very Time of his Deat h. His Anfwer was to this Effe&, That he was a Stranger at London, unacquainted with Bookfellers, &c. But, which was a much greater Obftacle, that at the Fire at London, Five of the prin- cipal Plates were loft in the Hurry, that could never be recover d by his Grandfather ; And the other Plates, when we came to look into them, were generally worn fo fmooth, that they would want to be Retouch'd, ( as the Engravers call it ) to reftore them to the Beauty they once had, {from the Hand ofHollar, the moft noted Engraver of bis Time:} He told me, however, That ifthefe Difficulties did not difcourage me, Jince I was going to London, he Jhould be glad to put all into my Hands to do with it as I Jhould think fit. Rather than the Book Jhould b& loft, ( with all its Additions and Improvements, ) which was grown in its fir ft Edition fo exceeding fcarce and dear, I was very dejirous to try what could be done. Accordingly, as foon as I came to Town, in the fir ft place I waited on the Right Reverend the Lord Bifhop of London, as principally con- cern d in the chief Subject of the Book ; Then upon the Moft Reverend the Lord Archbijhop of York, and the Right Reverend the Lords Bijhops Durham and Carlifle, as Perjons particularly concern d in the Account given of their RefpeSiive Churches, who feem d very well pleased with the Dtfign in Hand, promijing to give it all proper Encouragement. And having farther communicated it, and had the Opinion of ether proper Judges, and Perfons of Diftinclion, I could Then upon good Grounds give Encouragement to the Bookfeller to un- dertake it, who has indeed not been wanting on his Part in any Thing that To the READER. that might give Advantage to this Edition. He has prefizt to the Book the Author s Life, (never before Printed with any of his Works!) written by the Author himfelf with that Modefiy and Simplicity of Narrative, that becomes an Author /peaking of himfelf : And he has not only caused the Old Plates to be repair d and wrought over again, but Has Jupplyd the Want of thofe five Plates that were loft in the Fire, by five New ones, at his own conjiderable Ezpence. So that Nothing has been fpard either of Pains or Coft, to render This a complete Edition, All the Share I have in the Work, is only my being the happy In* ftrument of bringing it to Light, and the beft Care I could take in the Publication of it : And jhall be well pleased, if I have therein done a Service acceptable to the Publick, and obligd the Lovers of Antiquity, Edward Maynard. 6 - T H E L I F O F Sir WILLIAM DUGDALR E was the only Son of John Dugdale, late of Shu- ftoke, near Coles-Hill, in the County of Warwick, Gentleman, by Elizabeth his Wife, Daughter of Arthur Swynfen, a younger Son of WiUiarn Swynfen, of Swynfen in the County of Stafford, Efquire, and born at Shuftoke the 1 2th of September, Anno 1 605, (the Third Year of King James I. ) This John being the only Child of James Dugdale of Cletherow, in the County of Lancafter, Gent, (which Name and Family had been of long Continuance in thofe Parts,) had his Chief Education in St* Johns College, in the Univerfity of Oxford; where applying himfelf to the Study of the Civil Law, he took the Degree of Matter of Arts ; and continuing there for the Space of Fourteen Years, was for fome Time Clerk of the Ac- compts for that College, and Steward of their Courts, in which Employment Mr. James Whitlccke, (afterwards a Knight, and One of the Juftices of the Court of Kings-Bench, ) fucceeded him. During fome Years of his Stay in that College, being Tutor to William Paulet, only Son tdjfhe Lord Giles Paulet, younger Son to William the firft Marquis of Winchefter, of that Noble Family : Upon his leaving the Univerfity, refolving to fettle in the Country, he took Liking to the Woodland Part of Waf- wickfhire, where Mr. Paulet had a fair Eftate, and Selling his Lands in Lancajhire, gave a large Fine to him for a Leafe of the Im- propriate Re&ory of Shuftoke aforefaid, for the Term of Sixty Years, where rinding the Houfe ruinous, he built it all a-new. Fixing himfelf there, and Marrying as aforefaid, he had only Two Children by his faid Wife, viz. Mary, a Daughter, (who became the Wife of Mr. Richard Seawall, Son to Mr. Henry Seawall an Sir WILLIAM DUG DALE. an Alderman of Coventry) and this William his only. Son, who • had his 6rft Education in Grammar- Learning under Mr. Tbo. Sibley, Curate at Netber-Wbitacre, ( near Shuftoke aforefaid ) un- til! he arrived to the Age of Ten Years, and upwards ; after- wards under Mr. James Cran ford, in the Free-School at Coventry, untill he was near fifteen Years of Age ; but then returning to his Father, he received farther Documents from him, in Read- ing (everal Law-books, beginning with Littletons Tenures. His Father being aged, and very infirm by a Dead Pa Hie in his Limbs, thinking fit to fee him match cl in his Life-time, he thereupon wedded Margery, the fecond Daughter to John Hunt* bache of Seawall, in the Parifh of Bijhbury, in the County of Stafford, Gent, on the 17th Day of Marcb 1622, and 20th Year of King James : After which he tabled with his Wife's Father untill his own Father died, viz. July 4. Anno 1624.; but foon after went to Houfe-keeping at Fittongley, in the faid County of Warwick, where he had an Eftate formerly purchafed by his faid Father. In Anno 1 625, ( 1 Car. 1.) he purchafed the Mannor of Blytbe, in the Parifh of Shuftoke aforefaid ; and the next enfuing Year, (fcilicet, Anno 1626) fold his Eftate in Fillongley, and came to refide at Blythe-Hall. His natural Inclinations being to the Study of Antiquities, he was not a little encourag'd thereto by Samuel Roper Efquire, (a Derbyshire Gentleman, and Barrifter at Law in Lincoln s Inn ) a Perfon much efteem'd for his Abilities therein, with whom (by Reafon that he was Coufin-German to Mr. Richard Seawall, his Sifter's Husband) he had firft Acquaintance about the Year 1615. After he thus fettled at Blythe-Hall, having read the Defcrip- tion of Leicefler-fhire, publifh'd by Mr. William Burton of Lindley, in that County, (about eight Miles diftant from Blythe-HaU) he was introduc'd into his Acquaintance by Mr. Fi/her Dilke, of Shuftoke aforefaid, (a Kinfman of Mr. Burton) and by the faid Mr. Burton, into the Acquaintance of Sir Simon Archer of Tarn* worth, in the faid County of Warwick, Knight, who being much affe&ed to Antiquities, and having made fome Collections ou«-of divers Ancient Writings, did freely communicate to him what he had fo gathered, and brought him acquainted with moft of the Gentlemen of Note in the County ; who being defirous thro' his lncitation,to preferve the Honour of their Families by fome fuch Publick Work, as Mr. Burton had done by thofe in Leicefler* fjnre, did freely communicate unto him the Sight of their An- cient Evidences, amongft the which he found none more know- ing, and forward to encourage fuch a Work, than Sir Simon b Clarke 7"^ LIFE of Clarke, of Broome- Court, in the Parifti of Salford; who imparted to him clivers Things of Confequence, efpecially the Leiger- , .Book of the Priory of Kenilworth. Continuing his Acquaintance and Converfation with the faid Mr. Burton, as alfo with Sir Simon Archer, (which began about the Year 1630) Sir Simon Archer going to London with his Lady in Eafter Term, Anno 1638, much importun'd the faid Mr. Bug- dale to accompany him in that Journey ; whereunto he aflent- ing, Sir Simon being acquainted with the Learned Sir Henry Spelman Knight, ( a Perfon Famous for his Knowledge in Anti- quities) and then near Eighty Years of Age, brought Mr. Dug- dale to him ; who receiving him with great Humanity, and finding upon Difcourfing with him, and the Sight of divers Col- lections relating to The Antiquities of Warwickshire, (which he then fhewed him ) that he had made fome good Progrefs in thole Studies, told him, That being a Perfon fo well inclin'd to that Learning, and fo good a Proficient therein, that he efteemed him very fit to ferve the King in the Office of Arms ; and that the moft Noble Thomas i Earl of Arundel, then EarUMarfial of England, having, by Vertue of that Office, the Nomination of all fuch as were admitted into that Society, would think it a good Service to the Publick to preferr fuch thereunto as were thus naturally qualified, and found Sedulous in thofe Studies, offering to recommend him the faid Mr. Dugdale to hisLord- fhip for that Purpofe. Which he did accordingly ; whereupon he was introduc'd unto that Honourable Perfon ; firft by Sir George GrefieJey, of Drakelorv, in the County of Derby, Baronet, (who was then in London) and well known to his Lordfhip. During this his Stay there, waiting fome time upon Sir Henry Spelman, Sir Henry told him, That there was a Torkjhire Gentleman, one Mr. Roger Dodfworth, who had taken much Pains in Search of Records, and other Ancient Memorials, relating to the Antiquities of that Country, but efpecially as to the Monaftery Foundations in the Northern Parts of this Realm, which Work he did not a little recommend to the Pains and Care of fome induftrious and dili- gent Searchers into Antiquities ; affirming, That out of his own great ArTe&ion thereto, he had in his younger Years got toge- ther the Tranfcripts of the Foundation Charters of divers Mo- nafteries in Norfolk and Suffolk, (himfelf being a Norfolk Man) much importuning Mr. Dugdale to join with Mr. Dodfworth in that commendable Work, which by the Reafon of his Youth and Inclination to profecute thofe Studies, might in Time be brought to fome Perfection. Unto Sir WILLI AM DUGD ALE. vii Unto which Propofal Mr. Dugdale readily affented, and with- in few Days after, cafualJy meeting with Mr. Dodfworth, at Mr. Samuel Roper s Chamber in Lincoln \*Inn, and communicating of what they were in Hand with, as to their farther Progrefs in thole Studies, readily engaged themfelves to each other, to endeavour the gaining of what Tranfcripts they could obtain from any Ancient Leiger- Books, Pnblick Records, Original Charters, or other Manufcripts of Note, in order thereto ; but {till with this Refervation, that Mr. Dugdale ffiould not neglecl: his Collections touching The Antiquities of Warwickshire, where- in he had made a confiderable Progrefs. Being thus in London, and defirous to gain Acquaintance with all Perfons there, of Note, who Mood affe&ed to Antiquities, Mr. Roper brought him to Mr. Henry Lillye, an Arms- Painter in Little* Britain, who according to that Meafure of Learning he had gained, was not a little vers'd in thofe Studies, having been im- ploy'd by divers Perfons of Honour and Quality in Framing their Pedigrees out of Original Evidences, and other warrantable Authorities. Hereupon, converting fome time with Mr. Lillye, he there ac- cidentally met with one Mr. Richard Gafcoigne, aTorkfhire Gentle- man, who alfo flood much afTedted to thofe Studies, efpecially as to Matters of Pedigree, wherein he had taken fome Pains for divers Northern Families, who having great Acquaintance with Sir Cbrifiopher Hatton, of Kirby^ in the County of Northampton, Knight of the Bath^ ('afterwards created Lord Hatton) a Perfon highly affe&ed to thofe Studies, and who had not fpared for Coft in gaining fundry Tranfcripts from Publick Records, Leiger- Books, Ancient Charters, and many Choice MSS. brought Mr. Dugdale to that moft worthy Perfon, by whom he was made Welcome, with all Expreflions of Kindnefs, and Readinefs to further him in thofe his Labours. In order thereunto, Sir Chriftopher made him foon acquainted with Sir Thomas Fanfoaw, ( his near Kinfman) at that time the King's Remembrancer in the Exchequer, ( afterward Lord Vif- count Fan/haw) by Means of which great Office he had the Cu- ftody of divers Leiger-Books, and other Manufcripts of great Antiquity, efpecially that notable Record, cali'd the Red Book ; as alfo, Tefla de Nevill, KirbysQiteft, Nomina Villarum, and others ; to all which, by his Favour, he had free Accefs ; nor was he lefs careful to obtain the like Accefs for him to the Records in the Tower of London, thro' his Intereft with old Mr. Collet^ the Chief Clerk, at that time there under Sir John Burroughs, whom he amply rewarded with fundry Gratuities, for his Kindnefs and Pains The LIFE of Pains in furthering Mr. Dugdale, as to his Collections from thofe Rarities there repofed. During his Stay alfo at London, at that time, he was by the faid Mr. Samuel Roper brought into the Acquaintance of Sir Thomas Cotton Baronet, Son to the moft worthy Sir Robert Cotton, Founder of that incomparable Library in his Houfe at Weftminfter, of moft Rare and Choice Manufcripts, whereby he had alfo Ac- cefs thereto, and made fuch Collections as were of lingular life to him in feveral Volumes, which have fince been made Pub- lick by the Prefs. By the faid Mr. Roper, he was alfo introduc'd into the Ac- quaintance of Mr. Scipio Squire, then one of the Vice- Chamber- lains of the Exchequer, through whofe Kindnefs and Favour he had Accefs to that Venerable Record, call'd Doom J Hay '-Book, as alfo to the Fines, Plea-Rolls, and fundry other Things of Anti- quity remaining in the Treafury. Nor was Sir Cbriftopber Hatton lefs zealous in giving him all pof- fible Encouragement in thefe his Studies : For having feconded Sir Henry Spelman, in recommending him to the Earl of Arundel^ the faid Earl.fent for him in September following, (Anno *6^8.) and obtained the King's Warrant to create him a Purfevant at Arms Extraordinary, by the Name of Blancb^Lyon, and there- upon fo created him at the King's Royal Palace of Richmond, in Surrey, upon the 24-th of that Inftant September. Afterwards, upon the Removal of Mr. Edward Walker, Rouge£roix~?urfevant^ to the Office of Chefter Herald, his Lordftiip obtain'd his faid Majefty's Letters-Patents for Creating him Rouge-Croix'Purfevant in Ordinary, bearing Date 1 8th of March, 1639. By which Means, having a* Lodging in the Heralds-Office, as alfo fome Benefit by Funerals, and otherwife, with the yearly Salary of 20 1, out of the King's Exchequer, for his Support, he thenceforth fpent the greater!: Part of his Time in London, in order to the augmenting his Collections out of thofe Records in the Tower, and other Places, untill by the Influence of a pre- dominant Party in that Parliament, begun at Wefiminfler the third of November, Anno 164.0, which being tainted with Puri- tanical and Antimonarchical Principles, took away the Life of the moft Prudent and Loyal Earl of Strafford, Lord- Lieutenant oHreland,and imprifon'd the moft Reverend Archbifhop of Can* terbury, notwithstanding all fpecious Pretences of Loyalty to the King, Maintenance of Religion by Law Eftablifhed, and Privi- leges of Parliament, he was forced from thence : By their Begin- nings, it was plainly difcern'd by the moft Judicious Men, what afterwards was accompliuYd by the Grand Contrivers in that unhappy Convention, that is to fay, the utter Subveriion of the Sir WILLI AM DUG DALE. the Religion by Law Eftablifh'd, and Extirpation of Monarchic Government, whereby no other could be expe&ed than the Pro- fanation of all Places of God's Publick Worftiip, Deftru&ion of Monuments in Churches, and Defacing whatfoever was Beauti- ful and Ornamental therein. The faid Mr. Dugdale therefore receiving Encouragement from Sir Chriftopher Hutton before- mention'd, then a Member of the Houfe of Commons, (who timely forefaw the near ap- proaching Storm) in Summer, Anno 164.1, having with him one Mr. William Sedgwick, ( a skilful Arms-Painter) repaired firft to the Cathedral of S. Paul in London, and next to the Abbey Church at Weftminfier, and there made exa£t Draughts of all the Monuments in each of them, Copying the Epitaphs accor- ding to the very Letter ; as alfo all Arms in the Windows, or Cut in Stone; and having fo done, rode to Peterborough in Northampton-Jhire, Ely, Norwich, Lincoln, Newark upon Trent, Be* verley, Southwell, Kingfton upon Bull, Tofk, Selby, Chefier, Litch* field, Tarnworth, Warwick, and did the like in all thofe 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 cafe of that Deftru&ion, then imminent,might be preferv'd for future and betterTimes ; which Draughts are in the Cuftody of the now Lord Hatton, being trick'd by the faid Mr. Sedgwick, then Servant to the faid Sir Chri- Jlopher Hatton. And as it was feared, fo it foon fell out ; all Things, through the Influence of the predominant Party in the Parliament, tend- ing every Day more and more that Way, infomuch that in March following, the King himfelf, his Queen, and Royal Iffue, forc'd by Tumults, countenanc'd by thofe great Matters of Mif- chief, were conftrain'd to betake themfelves for Safety to other Places ; that is to fay, the King, Prince, and Duke of Tork, into the City of Tork, the ^th of March 164.1, and the Queen into France. His Majefty being therefore neceffitated thus to continue in thofe Northern Parts, where many of the Nobility attended him ; having alfo, for his better Security, a fpecial Guard of the moft Loyal Gentlemen of that County, by Warrant under his Royal Signet Manual, bearing Date the firft oijune, Anno s 64.2, commanded the faid Mr. Dugdale forthwith to repair thither to him, according to the Duty of his Place ; who thereupon did fo, and continued there till about the midft of July, that he receiv'd his Majefty's Command to wait upon the Earl of Northampton, Lord-Lieutenant of the County of Warwick, into that County where the Earl was, by Vertue of his Majefty's c • Special The LIFE of Special Comrnifrion, under the Great Seal of England, to array and arm all Perfonsable, and of fufficient Strength, for Prefer- vation of the Peace in this Realm. In Obedience whereunto he attended the faid Earl to the Bo- rough of Warwick, and divers other Places in that County, where many of the Train'd-Bands, and other Loyal People, came to his Lordfhip with Horfes and Arms accordingly : But the predominant Party, which then late at Weftminfter, machi- nating the Ruin of Monarchy, and advancing themfelves into all Places of Power and Profit, moft falily fuggefting to the People, That his Majefty had a Defign to fubvert the Religion by Law EftablinVd, and govern'd by an Arbitrary Power, rais'd great Forces throughout all Parts of the Realm, under Colour of Defending the fame, making Garrifons in fundry Places of Strength ; and amongft others, fent many Soldiers with Arms and Ammunition into the Caftles of Banbury vaOaford-fhire, and Warwick, commanded chiefly by Robert Lord Brooke, one of their then greateft Confidents, to the no little Affrightment of moft People in thofe Parts. The Earl of Northampton therefore difcerning in what Danger the County then was, and advertizing his Majefty thereof, pro- cured his Special Warrant, bearing Date at Tork, the 4th of Auguft 1642, directed to the faid Mr. Dugdak, requiring him forthwith, according to the Duty of his Place, to repair to thofe Caftles of Banbury and Warwick, and to command the faid Lord Brooke, and his Adherents, to lay down all their Forces, as well Horfe as Foot, and to deliver up all their Arms and Ammuni- tion to the Commiftioners of Array, and fuch others as by his Majefty were then authoriz'd for that Purpofe ; as alfo to difpofe themfelves, and to return to their refpecHve Homes ; and in cafe of Refufal, to proclaim them Traitors againft the King, his Crown and Dignity. All which being performed by the faid Mr. Dugdale in his Coat of Arms, and Trumpets founding before him, the Caftle of Banbury, with all the Arms and Ammunition therein, was deliver'd up accordingly ; but the Caftle of Warwick being a Fort of far more Strength, and mann'd by a greater Number of Soldiers, under the Command of Sir Edward Veto of Cbefterton, in that County, Knight, moft rebellioufly contemn'd that Sum- mons ; Sir Edward Veto alledging, That he was entrufted with it by the Parliament, and would defend it accordingly. Where- upon he, and all his Adherents there, were proclaim'd Traitors at the Caftle Gates, by the faid Mr. William Dugdale, in purfu- ance of his faid Majefty 's Warrant. That Sir WILLIAM DUG DALE. That thofe Rebels were by this Time grown thus Obftinate, it was no Wonder, having captivated the People with mod bold and falfe Suggeftions of his Majefty 's Purpofe to enflave them by an Arbitrary Power, pretending what Glorious Afler- tors they would be of their Liberties ; fo that in every Part of the Realm they gain'd great Numbers of People, and raifed a powerful Army under the Command of Robert, then Earl of Effex, which being difcerned by the King, he forthwith ere£ted his Royal Standard at Nottingham upon the 12th of Auguft, whereunto very many woYthy Men moft Loyally reforted. Soon after which, divers arm'd Forces rebellioufly poiTeffing themfelves of feveral other ftrong Catties and Towns in other Parts of the Realm, amongft which, the City of Coventry was one of the Firft, ( thro' the Aid of many Sectaries and Schifma- ticks) which flock'd in unto them with Arms and Am muni- tion, efpecially from that populous Town of Birmingham, re- lying much upon the Security of that Place, by Reafon of the Strength of its Walls ) his Majefty upon Advertifement there- of, march'd up from Tork with fome Troops of Horfe, com- manded by the Lord Byron, and coming to Stonley-Houfe, (about Four Miles diftant from Coventry) by his Special Warrant, bearing Date the 20th of Auguft, commanded the faid Mr. Dug* dale to fummon that City, and to require all fuch Perfons as were there in Arms to deliver to fuch Perfons as his Majefty dicl then authorize to receive them, and to depart peaceably to their own Homes ; but in cafe of Refufal to proclaim them Traitors againft his faid Majefty, his Crown and Dignity. All which, upon their obftinate Refufal to give Obedience thereunto, was accordingly perform'd by the faid Mr, Dugdale. During the King's Stay at Stonley, finding the City of Coventry thus Rebellious, and Warwick Caftle garrifon'd by the Lord Brooke, ( as hath been obferved ) his Majefty, upon his Return to Nottingham, plac'd Two Companies of Foot, and One of Dragoons, in his Caftle of Kenilworth, ( the ftrongeft Fort in all the Midland Parts ) fituate betwixt Coventry and Warwick : But within few Days after, having Intelligence that the Power of the Rebels in that County increafed, and fearing that thofe Sol- diers, fo put into Kenilworth Caftle, might be diftrefled by a Siege, he fent Two Troops of Horfe, and One of Dragoons, to fetch off thofe Men, with their Arms and Ammunition ; and becaufe he knew that the faid Mr. Dugdale was well acquainted with the Ways in that County, appointed him to accompany Sir Richard Willis, who commanded that Party, as his Guide, purpoiing to bring them off as privately as might be. To which End they marching from Mount-Sorel! in Leicefter-Jhire, on The L I F E of ' on Sunday Morning, came about Ten of the Clock at Night to Kenilworth, where, though they made fuch Hafte in getting Carriages for their Ammunition, that they march'd out of that Caftle by Seven of the Clock next Morning, neverthelefs, by Intelligence given to the Rebels in Coventry, fo great a Number of thofe with Horfe and Foot purfu'd them, as that they were conftrain'd to make a Stop in Cur d wort b*field, (Two Miles North- ward from Cohs'hill) and to encounter them ; where they charged thofe Rebels, ( tho' Five to One in Number ) lb ftoutly, that they put them to the Rout, and took divers of them Pri- foners, which they brought that Night to Tamworth, and the next Day to Tutbury Caftle ; the faid Mr. Dugdale hafting immediately to Nottingham to acquaint the King therewith. Thefe Soldiers being thus got fafe to Tutbury, join'd with thofe Forces, which ( his Majefty having rais'd at Nottingham ) were on their March towards Shrewsbury, {viz. on the nth of September) unto which Place the faid Mr. Dugdale gave Atten- dance on his Majefty ; and thence, after the compleating of his Army there, to the Battle of Kineton, ( commonly calfd Edge-HiU Battle,^ which happened on the a^d of Offober, and fo to Oxford ; thence alfo to Reading and Brentford, his Ma- jefty then purpofing for London • but finding the Power of the Rebels fo much increafed by the Citizens Confluence to them from that populous Place, after fome Skirmifhes near Brent- ford, ( where the King took many Prifoners ) he returned to Oxford, and there fixed his chief Refidence, fortifying it with Out-works, for the better Security thereof. Oxford therefore being thus made the chief Garrifon, where his Majefty 's Great Officers, viz. Lord-Keeper, Lord-Trea- furer, &c. and Council of State, kept their Refidence, the faid Mr. Dugdale attending his Majefty 's Service there, was ( with divers others of the King's Servants ) admitted to the Degree of Mafter of Arts ; and having taken Notice of the moft re- markable Paflages in Kineton Battle, ( on which he was a Spe- ctator) to the End that the Relation of all Particulars relating thereto might be the better underftood) accompanied with fome Gentlemen of Note, and a skilful Surveyor, he exactly furvey'd, noting where each Army was drawn up, how and where the Cannon on each Part were placed, as alfo the parti' cular Graves wherein all the Slain were buried ; obferving from the Relation of the Neighbouring Inhabitants, the certain Num- ber of Bodies which lay interr'd in every Grave, which in the Whole did not amo&it to full One Thoufand, tho'the general Report of the Vulgar made them no lefs than Five Thoufand. Whence Sir WILLI AM DUG DALE. xiii Whence returning to Oxford, and there^ by his Majefty's Command, continuing until] the Surrender of that Garrifon to the Rebels the 26th of 'June 1646, (which wanted not four Months of four Years) his Eftate in the Country being leque- ftred by the Rebels all that Time, he there perform'd fuch Ser- vice in attending the Funerals of fundry Noble Perfons, and others of great Quality, ( fome of which were flain in thofe Wars) as belong'd to the Duty of his Office ; and upon the Death of Sir John Borrough Knight, then Garter Principal King of Arms, who departed this Life there upon the 1 1 ft of Otlober 1643, Sir Henry St. George Knight, then Norroy King of Arms, being advanc'd to the Office of Garter, and Edward Walker Efq; then Chefter Herald, made Norroy, the fa id Mr. Dugdale was, by Letters Patents bearing Date at Oxford aforefaid, the 16th of Aprils anno 1644, {10 Car. I.) created Cbefter Herald. Continuing thus in Oxford, he thence took a Journey to Worcefter in anno 1 644, within which Diocefe the Southern Part of the County of Warwick lieth, where having Perufal of the Regifters of the Bifhop, as alfo of the Dean and Chapter, he thence extracted the like Materials, in order to his Hiftorical Work of Warwichjhire, ( afterwards made Publick by the Prefs) as he had done at Litchfield, within which Diocefe the reft of the faid County is, as by his Quotations in that Volume are to be feen. And having fufficient Leifure, during that long Time he continued in Oxford, applied himfelf to the Search of fuch An- tiquities as were to be found in the Famous Bodleian Library, as alfo in the Libraries of fuch Colleges, and other Hands, as he thought might any Way conduce towards the Furtherance of that Work of the Monaftery Foundations, defign'd by Mr. Roger Dodfwortb, and himfelf • as alfo of whatsoever might relate to Matter of Hiftory, touching the Ancient Nobility of this Realm ; in which he found very much for that Purpofe,, whereof he made great life in thofe Volumes of The Baronage of England, fince by him publiuYd. But the Rebels at length prevailing through the Aid of the Scots, (who made a fecond Invafion hither with a mighty Army) whereupon the Garrifon of Oxford was deliver'd up unto them upon Articles in June 1646, the faid Mr. Dugdale having the Benefit of thofe Articles, repair'd fhortly after to London, and made his Compofition at Goldfmiths*HalJ, for the Sum of 168/. After which, having formerly proceeded very far in gathering Materials towards his defigned Work of The Antiquities of Warwichjhire, he went again to London, and perfected his Col- d lection xiv The LIFE of lection from the Publick Records of the Tower, wherein he had long before made a large Progrefs ; where hap'ning to meet with Mr. Dodfworth, and acquainting him how he had beftowed his Time InOxford, and elfewhere,in gaining Materials in order to that Work of Monafteries, Mr. Dodfworth imparting the like to him, he found that Mr. Dodfworth had tranfcribed divers Foundation Charters, and other Grants of Confequence, relating chiefly to the Northern Monafteries, which he took from the . very Originals then remaining in fundry large Chefts deposited in St. Mary\-Tcwer at Tork. After which, waiting on the Lady Hatton to Calais, in May 164.8, 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. Francis du Chefne, ( Son to the Learned Andrew du Chefne deceafed ) the fa id Mr. Dugdale had a View of divers Excellent Collections, taken by the faid Andrew, relating to fundry Monafteries in France and Normandy, and other Parts of that Realm : Amongft which finding many Things of Note, touching thofe Religious Houfes in England, call'd Priories* Aliens, ( which were Cells to certain great Abbies in thofe Foreign Parts) he took Co- pies of them, of which he made good life in thofe Volumes, call'd the Monafticon Anglicanumy&zxwdxd. publifhed ; and then returned into England, having Letters of fafe Conduct under the Sign Manual, and Signet of the Queen of England, ( Bemu etta* Maria) bearing Date at St. Germains en I aye, upon the 3d of Auguft. This fo fair a Collection, got together by Mr. Dodfworth, confidering how much Mr. Dugdale had gathered out of fundry Leiger-Books, and other Authentick MSS. at Oxford, encou* raging them to perfect the Work, they then refolv'd to go to the Records in the Tower of London, from which making a thorough Search, .they took Copies of all they had deemed moft Material for the fame. And having fo done, Sir Thomas Cotton (through the Intereft which Mr. Dugdale had with him) gave them free Accefs to his incomparable Library, in his Houfe at Weftminfter, where a Multitude of Leiger-Books being obtained through the Care and Coft of the Famous Sir Robert Cotton, ( his Father) were then preferved. This being accomplished, and finding there many Papers of State made up in large Bundles, which were Original Letters, and Choice Memorials obtain 'd by the faid Sir Robert Cotton from fundry Hands, fome the Tranfactions betwixt Cardinal Wolfey, Cromwell, (afterwards Earl of EJfex) Secretary Paget, CeciU, Sir WILLIAM DUG DALE. CeciU, Lord Burleigh, Secretary Walfingbam, and others, relating as well to Foreign as Domeftick Affairs, as alfo the Letters and Papers of Mary Queen of Scotland, John Duke of Norfolk, and feveral Eminent Perfons in thofe Times, the faid Mr. Dugdah forted them all, both as to Time and otherwife, and caufed them to be bound up with Clafps, with the Arms of Sir Thomas Cotton on each Side of every Book ; all which amounted to about four- fcore Volumes, by which Means they are now made ufeful to all Lovers of Hiftorical Learning. The Collections for the Two Volumes of Monafticon being thus compleated, and the Publiming of them by the Prefs much defired, an Offer was made to feveral Bookfellers of the Copy, on fuch indifferent Terms as might have defray'd the Charge of thofe Tranfcripts, fo made from Records and otherwife, as hath been obferved : But the Bookfellers declining to adventure thereon, the faid Mr. Dodfworth and Mr. Dugdale joyning toge- ther, hired large Sums of Money to do it themfelves ; the Care and Overfight of which Work, as to the Printing Part, lay totally on Mr. Dugdale, by that Reafon Mr. Dodfworth departed this Life in Lancajhire, about the middle of Auguft, anno 1654, before the tenth Part of the firft Volume was difpatch'd at the Prefs. Here it will not ( I prefume ) be amifs to take Notice, that whereas fince his Majefty's happy Reftauration, fome Perfons of Note, who were in great Place and Power in the Time of the late Ufurpation, and as yet are no fmall Countenancers of thofe Separating which are again bufily endeavouring the Ruin of Monarchy, to blaft and vilify this Work of the Monafticons, have malicioufly given out, that the Defign of making it Pub- lick by the Prefs, was purpofely to difcover the Lands fome- titrre belonging to the Religious Houfes in this Realm, to the Intent that upon Reftoring the Romijb Religion, which they would have it believed is much feigned, they might return to their former fuperftitious Ufes. I Ihall there fore here make a brief DigreiTion, clearly to manifeft the Falfenefs and Abiurdity of that Suggestion, by Three irrefragable Inftances. The firft is, that a chief Promoter of the Work was the late Lord Fairfax, the Parliament's General, in their bloody Wars againft the King, (whom none of that Party did ever fufpecl: to be Popijhly affe&ed ) allowing Mr. Roger Dodfworth 4.0 /. per Annum, during his Life, for his Support therein, as is very well known ; and that Mr. John Rujhworth, ( then his Secretary ) through the Influence he at that Time had upon thofe who kept the Records in the Tower of London, procured The LIFE of for the fa id Mr. Dodfworth and Mr. Dugdale free Accefs unto them, with Liberty to make Tranfcripts of vvhatfoever did re- late to this Collection, without Payment of any Fees. Next, th3t the Subftance of thefe Collections, is the Founda- tion of Charters of what the Monasteries had upon their firft Erection, the Donation Charters in After-times being pur- pofely omitted, which are fo Numerous, that Twenty fuch Volumes would not contain them. Laftly, that had thofe Per- fons, who feem to fear the Reftoring of the Romijh Religion, ( and confequently a Return of thofe Monaftery Lands to the Support of fuch Votaries, who may betake themfelves to a Monaftick Life ) a real Senfe thereof, the proper Courfe to prevent a Difcovery of them, would be to deftroy all fuch Publick Records and Memorials as fet them forth at Large, fuch is that General Survey in 26 Hen. VIII. in the Firft-Fruits Office. So likewife thofe other Surveys, which upon the AB of "Diffolution in 31 Hen. VIII. were, brought into the Augmen* tation Court ; as alfo all the Enrolments of thofe Grants as have fince been made from the Crown for pafling them to private Hands. But I return. Which firft Volume being flnimed and made Publick in anno 1655, a Stop was for fome Years made of Printing the other^ untill the greateft Part of that was fold off, whereby Money might be had to proceed therewith. Mr. Dugdale therefore having with no fmall Pains and Charge compleated his Col- lections, in order to his defigned Hiftorical Work, touching The Antiquities of Warwick-ftiire, was at the whole Charge of Printing and Paper for Publiming thereof ; and Lying in London, in order to the Correcting the Prefs himfelf, for near one Year and a half, ('the ordinary Correctors being not skill'd in the Pedigrees) at length, fciL in anno 1656, he expofed it to Sale. In which Time of his Refidence in London, meeting cafu- , ally with Mr, John Reading, a Nottingbam-Jhire Gentleman, who having formerly been Clerk of the Ni/i-Prius, for the Mid* land Circuit, (and with whom before the Rebellion he had been acquainted) he Friendly invited Mr. Dugdale to his Houle at Scrivener s-HaU, (near Silver-ftreet) with Promife to (hew him fome Old Manufcript Books, Original Charters, and other An- cient Writings, who coming thither accordingly, lie brought forth Five Ancient Manufcript Books inF then were, and how that all People were weary of their Op- A , ***** preffions, fo that the Time of his moft happy Return drew'^-^ ' ^ rvA •*:>/ nigh, to prevent the Importunity of others, who aim'd at the ^ j ? Office of Norroy King of Arms, which was then void by the Z^T^' V' 1 Removal of Sir Edward Walker unto the Office of Garter/^' ' Tv Z^i Sir Edward Hyde Knight, then Lord - Chancellor, ( after ward Earl of Clarendon) having feen the Book of Warwick- fhire Aniu iU , >, /;/,] , • qu'ities, and the Firft Volume of The Monafticon Anglicanum,'^ ,f £^J&j£ whilft he was with the King in Foreign Parts, moving his •*/ ^y/ 1 |f • " * e and '* Office ,<7" Majefty on Behalf of the faid Mr. Ttogdak for that Place and h xviii The LIFE of Office of Norroy, readily obtain'd it, with a Special Warrant under the Royal Signet, to prepare a Patent under the Great Seal for the fame ; which pa fled accordingly, bearing Date ( after his faid Majefty's happy Return ) upon the 1 8th Day of June, in the Twelfth Year of his Reign, (Anno,fciL 1660) the Second Volume of the Monaflicon being then in the Prefs, and publifhed in the next Year following, viz. Anno 166 1. Soon after which, Jcil. in Anno 166a, came out of the Prefs his Hiftorical Work of Imbanking and Draining the Fenns and Marjhes of this Kingdom, (adorned with fundry exact Maps of the Parts and Places fo drained) deduced from Publick Records, and Ancient Manufcripts, at the Inftance of the Lord Gorges, Sir John Mar/ham Baronet, and others who were Ad- venturers in that coftly and laudable Work, for Draining the great Level, which extends itfelf into a confiderable Part of the Counties of Cambridge, Huntington, Northampton, Norfolk and Suffolk, After which, having in his many Years Labour in Search of Records for thofe his Works already publifh'd, taken Notes of the Lord Chancellors of England, Lord Treafurers, Mafters of the Rolls, Judges of all the Courts in Wtftminfler-Hall, Kings Attorneys and Sollicitors, and Serjeants at Law, like wife of the Antiquities of our Laws, Courts of Juftice, as alfo of the Inns of Court and Chancery for Students in that Excellent Profeffion, fie compiled that Hiftorical Work 1 intituled, Ori- gines Juridiciales, ( adorned with exact Cuts in Copper- Plates of the Arms in the Windows of all the Inns of Court, and Serjeants Inns ) which was made Publick by the Prefs in Anno 1666. And having been much importuned by the late Archbifliop of Canterbury, ( Dr. Sheldon ) and the then Lord Chancellor, ( Earl of Clarendon ) to perfect that Collection, begun by the , Learned Sir Henry Sfelman Knight, of his intended Second Volume of The Provincial Councils here in England, making diligent Search for fuch Materials as might be found in the Fa- mous Cottonian Library, or otherwife,did make Tranfcripts there- of, and fitted them for the Prefs, the whole Volume amounting to full Two Hundred Sheets in Folio ; all whereof, except Fifty and Seven, were totally of his the faid Mr, Bugdales Collection. So likewife for the whole GlolTary of that Learned Knight, whereof the Manufcript Copy ( written by Sir Henrys own Hand ) was not at all ordered for the Prefs, much of it being loofly written, and with Obfervations, and with fundry Bills of Paper pinn'd thereto, which he took Pains to difpofe of into Sir WILLIAM DUG DALE. into proper Order, tranfcribing many of thofe loofe Papers, marking what was proper to difference the Character, and fo brought it to the Prefs : Both which Works were alio publifhed in the fame Year 1666, without any Alteration from Sir Henrys Copy, as by ibme hath been ignorantly furmifed. Having likewife in this Courfe of his Collections made at Oxford, in the Time of the Rebellion, extracted from fundry Manuscripts, divers Notes relating to the Ancient Nobility of this Realm ; and not being ignorant that thofe Volumes of the Monafricon would yield a multitude of good Materials, in order to an Hiftorical Work of the Baronage, he thought fit to go again to the Tower, Exchequer, and Office of Rolls in Chancery ^Lane, as alfo the Archbifhop's Principal Regifter, and Regifters of the Prerogative- Court of Canterbury, for Wills and Teftarrients, Difpenfations for Marriages, &c. whence, and from many Choice Manufcripts in private Hands, monument tal Infcriptions, and other Authorities^ ( which, after a great Part of Thirty Years Labour he had been gathering) at length he compiled that Large Work in Two Volumes Folio, inti- tuled, The Baronage of England. In making of which Collections he omitted Nothing of Con- fequence which related to the Foundation and Endowment of the Cathedral and Collegiate Churches of England and Wales ^ confirming of Secular Canons, nor what he could elfe obferve concerning the Monafteries, to the end that they might be made ufe of as Additaments to thofe Volumes. And in the Year 167^, publifhed all thofe Additaments, together with what he had fo collected for thofe Cathedrals, and Collegiate Churches before fpecified : But thofe Volumes of the Baronage hanging long at the Prefs, came not out till the Years 1675 and 1676. Towards the End of which laft mentioned Year, (JciL 1676) 2cth February, Sir Edward Walker, Garter Principal King of Arms departed this Life, the faid Mr. Dugdale being then at his Houfe in Warwick-Jhire, whereupon much Difpute grew be- twixt the Right Honourable Henry, then Earl of Norwich, (after* wards Duke of Norfolk) as Earl-Marfhal of England, and the King, touching the Nomination of the Perfon unto whom his Majefty mould, by his Letters-Patents, grant that Office ; the Chancellor of the Garter, on the King's behalf, ftrenuoufly in* lifting upon his Majefty *s Right to nominate, by Reafon that the faid Office of Garter was an Employment chiefly relating to that Honourable Order, for attending at all lnftallations, and Feftivals, and performing other Services unto the Sovereign, and Knights Companions thereof. The The L I F E of The Earl on his Part, as Earl-Marfhal, and Chief Super- intendant of the Office, and Office of Arms, alledging the Ufage of his PredecefTors in that Honourable Office of Earl-Marmal, to recommend and nominate to the King, upon the Death or Vacancy of any King of Arms, Herald or Purfevant, fuch Per- fon and Perfons to fupply the Place as he mould think moft fit for that Service. In which Conteft, one Sir William Howard Knight, (a Per- fon very well qualified with Learning in all Points of Honour and Arms ) having obtained the Favour of divers Noblemen to move the King on his behalf, his Majefty inclined much to him ; and the Earl of Norwich (on the other Part) accounting it a Derogation to his Office of Earl-Marfhal to be refus'd the like Privilege as his PredecefTors therein had been permitted to en- joy ; for which he produced fome late Precedents, but acknow- ledging that he had nothing to do as to any Superintendency over him, as an Officer of the Garter ; neverthelefs, that as Garter is Principal King of Arms, he is fubordinate to his Authority : The King at length asking him whom he had a Defire to re- commend ? He prefently nam'd Mr. Dugdale, whereupon his Majefty immediately replied, Nay, then I am content. Whereupon the Earl-Marmal caus'd his Secretary to advertife Mr. Dugdale thereof by the Poft that Night, ( be being then in Warwickshire ) and earneftly to prefs his fpeedy coming up to London. Which News not a little furprizing him, being fo far from any Thoughts thereof, that upon fome Letters from certain Ho- nourable Perfons, upon the Death of Sir Edward Walker, earneft- ly importuning his fpeedy 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 moft Ancient Officer in the College of Arms, then living, by above Twenty Years than any other, none could pretend to fo fair a Claim ) he exculed himfelf in Refped of his Age. But after ferious Confideration what to refolve on therein, having a far greater Defire to wave it than otherwife, he grew doubtful whether it might not be ill taken by the King, that his Majefty fo freely afTenting to the Earl-Marfhal's Recom- mendation of him, he fhould refufe what was thus intended him as a Favour : And fearing alfo the Earl-Marfhal's Difplea- fure, in cafe he ftiould not comply with him therein; at length concluding with himfelf, that it was by God Almighty's Di- fpofal thus caft upon him, (whofe Great and Wonderful Pro- evidence extendeth to the very leaft of all Humane Actions) he refolved to accept it, and within few Days after rode up to London Sir WILLIAM DUG DALE. London accordingly, being there welcomed by the Earl-Marftial with very Noble Expreflions for thus complying with him therein. Whereupon he paffed his Patent under the Great Seal for that Office of Garter, upon the 26th of April, anno 1677, anc * after- wards, fciiicet, on Thurfday, being the 24th of May ( Aftenfon- Day) was folemnly created into that Office at the College of Arms by the Earl of Peterborough, who then exercifed the Office of Earl-Marfhal as Deputy to the Earl of Norwich, by Vertue of his Majefty's immediate Warrant for that Purpofe, and the Day following, (m Friday the 25 th of May) being brought before the King in the Old Bed-Chamber at White-Hall by the faid Earl* Marfhal, received the Honour of Knighthood, ('much againft his Will by Reafon of his fmall Eftate ) at which Time his Ma- jefty put the Badge of the Order, hung in a Chain of Gold, ( ufualiy worn by Garter King of Arms) about his Neck. After which, upon the firft Day of June next enfuing, in a So- lemn Chapter held by the Sovereign, and divers Knights-Com- panions, in the Red-Room at White-Hall, he took his Oath as Garter, kneeling by the King, which was adminiftred to him by Setb, Bifhop of Salisbury, as Chancellor of that moft Noble Order. As to the Exercife of his Office of Norroy, when he was Pro- vincial King of Arms for the Northern Parts of this Realm, the Books of his Vifitations of the feveral Counties of Derby, Not- tinghiim, Stafford, Chefler, Lancafter, Tork-fbire, Bifhoprick of Dur- bam, Northumberland, Cumberland, Weflmorland, under his Charge, remaining in the Office of Arms, will lufficiently manifeft his Care and Diligence therein, by taking exaft Notice of all Col- laterals, viz. Uncles, Aunts, Brothers and Sifters, in the Defcents by^him entred. Like wife in publickly difclaiming fuch as took upon them the Titles of Efquires or Gentlemen, without juft Right, and faithfully regiftring the Arms of all fuch as could manifeft any juftifiable Right thereto. Alfo in defacing fuch Tablets of Arms as he found in any Churches, or other publick Places, as were fictitious ; and pul- ling down feveral Atchievements irregularly, and againft the Law of Arms hung up in any Churches or Chappels within the Precin&s of his Province ; the Particulars whereof are fully ex- prefs'd in that large Book in the Office of Arms, covered with Ruffet-Leather, call'd The Earl Mar/ha? s Book, which containeth fundry Orders of the Earl-Marfhal of England, and Lord Com- miffioners for the Exercife of that Office, with other Memo- rials of Note. f And xxii The LIFE of And farther, to vindicate the juft Rights of his faid Office, commenc'd a Suit at the Common Law againft one Randal Holme, a Painter in the City of Cbefter, who had boldly taken upon him to invade his Office of Norroy, by preparing Atchievements for the Funeral of Sir Ralph Ajhton of Middleton, in the County of Lancafter, Knight, and given Direction for a Funeral Proceeding at the Solemnity thereof ; whereupon he had a Verdict againft him the faid Holme, at the General Affizes held at Stafford in March, anno 1667, recovering good Damages, and Cofts of Suit. Divers Atchievements alfo fet up in fundry Churches within his faid Province of Norroy, contrary to the Laws of Arms, by the faid Holme the Painter, he pulled down and defaced, viz. in the City of Chefler, at Budworth, Net her -P 'ever , Hooton in Wirrall^ (all in Che/hire) Biddulpb in Staffordshire, as alfo at Chirke in North-Wales \ and likewife defaced many fictitious Arms which he found engraved on Tomb-ftones at Newcaftle upon Tine, in Northumberland, of all which Particulars Mention is made in the faid Regifter-Book, call'd The EarU Mar/hat j Book.

THE NTRODUCTION. H AT the Event of many Things hath been long forefeen, as well by the Wifdom of Prudent Men, as by the Help of Divine Revelation, is not to be de* nied ; it being no greater Wonder, if we rationally confidi r it, than are fetch Floods, which happen at the Spring of the Tear, in Vallies adjacent to Mountains, that are covered with Snow in Winter. For it is not ordinarily feen, but that real Caufes do produce their proper and natural Effecls. Hence was it, that a Learned and Judicious Perfon *, above Three/core Tears Jince, dif- cerning a great Increafe and Growth of the Separatifts and Secta- ries in this Realm, ferioufty ezpreffed ; That all Coft and Care ■ beftow'd and had of the Church, wherein God is to be ferved and worfhipped, was accounted by thofe People a kind of Po* pery ; fo that Time would foon bring it to pafs, if it were not refitted, that God would be turned out of Churches into Barns, and from thence again into the Fields, and Mountains, and un- der Hedges ; and the Offices of the Miniftry (robb'd of all Dig- nity and Refpe£t) be as contemptible as thofe Places : All Order, Dilcipline, and Church-Government left to Newnefs of Opi- nion, and Mens Fancies : Yea, and foon after, as many Kinds of Religion fpring up, as there are Parifh-Churches within England ; every contentious and ignorant Perfon cloathing his Fancy with the Spirit of God, and his Imagination with the Gift of Revelation, &c How far forth thefe prophetick Words of his are now fulfilled, I need not give Inftance, nor apply them farther to my Furpofe, than freely to acknowledge, that an Eminent and Loyal Member f of the Long-Parliament, calfd by the late King Charles I. of Bleffed Memory ; obferving that all Sorts of Schifmaticks, under Colour of a purer Reformation, had Countenance from a predominant Party, in that moft unhappy Convention : And prudently forefeeing the fad Ef ' feels thereof, which by wojul Experience were foon after miferably felt, The INTRODUCTION. Jcxvii felt, often and earneftly incited me to a fpeedy View of what Monu- ments I could find in the Principal Churches of this Realm ; to the end that by Ink and Paper, the Shadows of them with their In- fcriptions might be preferred for Poflerity, the Things themfelves being fo near to Dejlrutlion. But though I then did not conceive it pojfible, that fuch Impiety tculd be harboured in the Breafls of thofe, who had made fuch free and open Proteftations, for Defence of the Religion here eflabliflid ; and by their Oaths of Supremacy and Allegiance bad folemnly vowed their Fidelity to the King: Tet, fo great a Reverence did I ever bear to fuch ancient Memorials of the Dead, that, in order to tranfmit the Figures of them to the View of thofe, who weU never like to fie them in Specie ; through the Special Favour of that Wor- thy Perfon, in affording me Affijiance 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, whilft we laboured therein \ I ne- glected no Time, nor fpared Pains to take Notice of thofe which were at that Time in this Cathedral, and of what others then flood un* defacd in feveral other, as alfb in fundry other Collegiate Churches of this Kingdom. Which, conjilering the lamentable Devaftation and Spoil that was foon after made of them by thofe great Pretenders to Godlinefs, I cannot but attribute it to a Special Providence, that I be* came Infirumentdl, in thus tranfmitting what I then did to the View of fucceeding Ages. Nor do I account it other than the like Providence, that I was the chief Means of Preferving all thofe Venerable Chartularies, and Re* cords, belonging to this Ancient and Famous Church ; which, upon that facrilegious 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, Cbair~man of the Committee for or* dering the Pojfejfions thereof, were by him cafually communicated to me. Whence, having reduced them out of no little Confujion, and extratled what J have faid in my enfuing Difcourfe of this Cathedral, I kept them in my . Hands, during the whole Time of the late Vfurpation ; and foon after his late Majefiy was moft happily reftored, did faith* fully deliver them unto the then worthy Dean, Dr. Barwick ; by whom being carefully laid up, they are [till preferved for the Be- nefit of After*Ages. Having therefore thus feafonably taken View of the Monuments therein, and framed the Hiflorical Part, relating to its Foundation, and xxviii The INTRODUCTION. and Endowment with Lands and Revenues ; being frequently moved to communicate it to the World, and therein affiled by divers Worthy Perfons, not a little affecled to the Honour of this Nation ; I caufed the enfuing Sculptures of the Tombs and Monuments, ( which, in jhort time after, were barbaroufly deftroyd ) and alfo a lively ProfpeEt * Ann. 1658. of the whole Fabrick in all Parts, to be made Publick * by the Prefs. Which, confidering it was not long after totally mind by that woful Fire of the City, happening in the Tear 1666, hath, in fome Sort, pre* ferved the Memory thereof to Pofierity. The firfi Edition of this Hifiorical Work, making therefore its Pe* riod with the Commencement of the late wicked Rebellion, raifed by the Sectaries, and their Adherents, (as hath been obferved) that which I have, in this Second lmprejfion, added thereto, is a brief Account of what was done in the Repairs of this Church untill the Time that it became deflroyd by that lamentable Fire of LO NDON; And after* •wards what Progrefs hath hitherto been made in its New Strutlure, 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 mofl Pious and Laudable Work, as there are divers Worthy Perfons, which have already not fparingly contributed ; fo, I doubt not, lut that many others, feeing bow far, in a few Tears, it is aU ready advanced, will be no lefs bountiful in the Furtherance thereof^ untill it be fully completed.

But to come nearer to my Purpofe, Utz. the Hiftory of this Church. * In c the Year CLXXX V. after our Saviour's Incarnation^Pope j Ex n ff^ Eleutberius fent hither into T5?itain, at the Inftance of King Lu- cI^eL s. clus, two eminent Doctors, Faganus and Damianus, to the end Icffl^a. that they might inftruft him and his Subjects in the Principles of Chriftian Religion, and confecrate fuch Churches, as had been dedicated to divers falfe Gods, unto the Honour of the true God : Whereupon thefe holy Men conftituted three Metropo- litical Sees in the three chief Cities of this Ifland, unto which they fubjected divers Bifhopricks : The firft at tomum,, where- unto all (gnglanti, from the Banks of dumber, Southwards, and ©ebetn Eaftward, belonged : The fecond, f which contain- ed all beyond dumber Northwards, together with ^cotlnnn x The third Caedeon (upon CJgfce) whereunto all Weftward of €>ebenT, with 2Me<$ totally, were fubje£t.

For as Idolatrous Perfons may be converted and live; fo (doubtlefs) may Places where Idola- trous Worfhip hath been exercifed, be^ without Offence to God, converted to his true Worfhip and Service : And this did that holy Man St. Gregory (who fent over the before-fpecified Augu- ftine the Monk into this Nation to convert the Pagan Saxons to the Faith of Chrift) well confider, when he wrote to the faid Mellitus four firft Bifhop here) commanding him to deftroy the Idols, but to referve the Temples wherein they were, for the i h.

O the before^mention'd Richard de Belmeis, fucceeded, in this Epifcopal See, Robert farmmed de Sigillo; of whom I have feen no more in reference to this Cathedral, than a Con* 1 "•/• ? 3. a. firmation of f his, to the Dean and Chapter (about the feventh Year of King Stephens Reign) of the Lordfliip of CDbutg&tom which Ranulfh Peverell (whofe Body lay here interred) had gi* ven Saint P A U LV Cathedral p ven to the Lights burning therein. For the Support of which Lights, I likewife find, s that Ralph de Cornhull, very foon after 2 a '$ 2 ^' a ' gave lid. yearly Rent, towards the Maintenance of that in particular, burning before the Altar of St. Erkenwald m 7 and as much for that at the Altar of St. parries. About this time, William de Beimels, then a Canon of Paul s, and Nephew of Richard de Beimels, the Bifliop before fpoken of, for the Health of his faid Uncle's Soul, and of the Soul of Robert de Beimels, his Father, gave h to the Canons of this h Expr*f. Church, by the -Confcnt of Gilbert Foliot, the then Bifliop, thefg^^. Church of St. Pancras, with all the Ty thes and other Obventi- ons thereto belonging: And foon after, one Osbert de" Camera, being vifited with great Sickneis, granted 1 unto them in pure iExpr^xoi. Alms, for the Health of his Soul, certain Lands and Houfes,^^ 7 * lying near ^aggelmie, in the Parifli of St. BenediB ; giving Pof- feffion of them with his Gold Ring,- wherein a Ruby was fet ; appointing, that the fame Gold Ring^ together with his Seal, mould forever be fixed to the Charter, whereby he fo dif- pofed them : The Revenue of which Lands to be divided into three Parts ; wz, one for the Clerks belonging to the Quire of PauPs ; the other to the Almoner, for the Behoof of poor People, on the Day of his Anniverfary ; and the third Part for the Fabrick of the Church. But before I gq on to obferve how and wherein this famous Cathedral had an Acceflion of farther Endowments and Privi- leges, it will not beamifs, here to take notice of the School, be* The school, longing thereto. That this was very ancient, is manifeft by the Charter k of the before-fpecify'd Richard Bifliop of lontiott, k 28. ». in the Time of King Henry I. who thereby granted to one Hugh the Schoolmafter, and his Succeffors in that Employment, the Habitation of Durandus, at the Corner of the Turret (id eft, the Clochier or Bell Tower) where William the Dean of PauPs had placed him, by his, the faid Bifliop's, Command ; together with the Cuftody of the Library belonging to this Church. To which Hugh fucceeded, in that Place, Henry 1 a Canon of the x , fame Bifhop's, that had been educated under the faid Hugh;™* 1 ' unto whom the before-fpecify'd Bifliop, befides the Houfe which he -the fame Hugh enjoyed, granted m a Meadow at jfulfjam, to- gether with the Ty thes of f\it\Q& and QpmUp : Which Henry had fuch great Refpeft in thofe Days, that Henry de Bloys, that fa- mous Bifliop of SHmfljeffo: ( who was Nephew to the King ) commanded, n that none fliould prefume to teach School with- n #./. 29 ., # in the whole City of LouBmt, without his Licenfe; excepting the Schoolmafters of St. Mary Bow, and St. Martins Le Grand. And in farther Augmentation of its Revenues, Richard furna- D med id The HISTORY of hiedMgeJ, who fate Bifhop here, in King Richard the FsTime, gave unto this School all the Tythes arifing in his Demefns at jFttl&am and ^ojfete ; with an Acre of Land in the faid Town of$po?fcte, for the Reception of them ingathering. And having now done with what relates to that ancient School i I (hall obferve,that the Knight's Fees in ^flfe* and sptitilefer, P vb. rub. in w hich the Bifhop of lontrott had in thofe Days, were p no lefs than XXXVI. by which the total Extent of his Poffeffionsmay in fome fort be gueffed at. 5 h Tr?ata. About the fame Time, the Office of Treafurer was conftitu- ted in this Cathedral, the firft that underwent the Truft thereof, Js*^ 44 * being one Godfrey, q unto whom Robert de Sigillo, Bifhop here in King Stephens Days, r had given certain Churches which were faid to belong to his own Table : To the Intent therefore, that all Queftion concerning them might be taken off, clear it is, that Richard de Beimels (the fecond Bifhop of lonnon of that Name) by the Advice of Theobald Archbifhop of Canterbury, and certain of his Fellow Bifhops ; as alfo with the Confent of his Chap- s ib.f. J9«^ter, affigned s them to the life of him and his SuccdTors in that Office for ever. Thefe were the Churches of @utmienffre, Sftburpi PeHjam FurmU^ and ij&zVgm-Sarners : But the two latter of them were fo given, as that the faid Godfrey and his Succeffors fhould provide three hundred Pound Weight of Wax, for fix Lamps continually burning in this Church ; as alfo Oil, In- cetife, and Coal, for the Amending and Wafhing the Orna- ments and Veftments belonging thereto : and moreover, for the Sweeping and Cleanflng thereof with Ruffies, Straw, and Mops, yielding the like Allowance to the Sacrift, and three o- ther Servants of the Church, as had heretofore been ufed ; fo as the whole Charge for all thefe Particulars did not amount to more than ten Marks per annum. To which Office of Trea- furer belong'd the Cuftody of the Books pertaining to the * Exvet.i(pt. Church, as appears by a Catalogue * of them, taken in An. w*iw.Hatto! MCCCCLXXXVI. The next Thing whereof I am, in Order liJjS an ' of Time, to take notice, is the fettled Habitation of the Dean, t ht £ X tS?' This, ftanding t within the Precinct of the Church- Yard, and wCCfflT ^ em § tne U Manfion or " R a pb d e Diceto (id eft, tDrfta in Com. Suf.) Dean of Paul\ about the latter End of King Henry the ll's Reign; was, with the Chappel belonging thereto, by him granted w to his Succeffors in that Office for ever ; the Ground whereon they were built, having been given for that Purpofe, by Gilbert Folict the then Bifhop : Which Grant had fuch Eftima- tion with the Canons of this Church -> that by an Inftrument xlb - x under their publick Seal, they affigned x s. to ^e annually paid for ever by the fucceffive Deans, as a Pittance at the Solem- nizing Saint PAUL'S Cathedral II nizing the Anniverfary of that learned Man ; whofe Memory is not a little famous to this Day, for thole elaborate hiftorical Works of his, whereof Baldeus y makes mention; fome oi^ ub^.cmi which 'viz. Abbreviationes Cbronicarum, and Imagines Hifioriarum have been lately z publim'd. **f About this Time alfo, there was an ^ofpftal founded f with- an. Load, in the Liberties belonging to this Cathedral, by Henry de Nor^^' Ho ^. tbampton, a Canon thereof; as is evident by its Confirmation **\ x mogm made by the before-fpecify'd Dean (viz. Raph de Diceto) and his^'*^ Chapter. Which Henry, for the Health of his Soul, gave to God and St. Paul, his Manfion-Houfe, with the Court adjoin- ing, for the Habitation of poor People ; and for their Mainte- nance, granted the whole Tythes belonging to his Prebendary. And for Augmentation thereof, the faid Dean and Chapter con- ferred all their Alms, both in Bread and Mony, which they hadufedto allow to the Poor, according to the ancient Inftituti- ons of this Church. As alfo the Church of St. Pancras, with the Lands and Tythes thereto belonging ; and the Tythes of Cotanelle, * as well in Corn as other Things : Provided, that* mib roc- one Alexander a Clerk (who was then the Tenant of thofe Tythes) nam - Court, might hold them of the faid Hofpital, as he did of the faid Dean and Chapter : And referving to themfelves a certain year- ly Penfion to be paid by the faid Hofpital : Adding laftly, the Church of Tnnz thereto, with the Glebe and Tythes to it be- longing. Not long after this, it was,that Henry de Cornhull, Chancellor of lotiHon, gave a to his SuccefTors in that Office (by the Confent or " c a o /^/ r rf-j Roger [urnamed Niger the then Bifhopjhis Dwelling- Houfe, with/; 29 . <*• the Appurtenances, fituate Southwards from this Church, refei^^ncdio^ ving a Mark yearly to be paid on the Day of his Anniverfary ; of London ' viz. half thereof to the Canons then prefent at the Commemora- tion of the Dead ; and the refidue to the other Clerks of the Quire, at that Time likewife there. And as the former Kings did by their feveral Charters confirm all the Lands and Poflefrions, which, through the great Munificence of their PredecefTors, had been given to this Cathedral, granting unto the Canons here ferving God, fundry Immunities and Privileges in them : So alfo did King John, and much more amply, as by his Char- ter b dated at §jjo$am XVI. Jttm'i^ in the very firft Year of his bl/6 ^ 4< Reign, appeareth : Adding f afterwards (viz. in the fifth Year + f<- of his Reign ) the Church of Sfjojetrttcf), for the Founding of a Chief Chanter here, for the good Eftate ofhimfelf, and for the chief Chan- Health of the Soul of King Henry the II. his Father : And in ter " the XVI. of his Reign, gave * unto William de 5. Maria, the then * lb - b ' Bilhop ° iz The HISTORY of Bifhop of ionHon, and his Succeffors, his Mannour of ^tofcejW ta (£>ulDefo?ti in Com. Surr. Touching I now return to the Fabrick, but principally the Eaft Part; ■j , Fabrick. the Body of the Church, with the CrofsIIes, being perfefted long before ; and fo likewife the Quire, which it then had, as is yet evident from the Undercroft whereon it ftood : But that the faid Quire was not afterwards thought beautiful enough,thougti in Uniformity of Building itfuited with the Church,is very plain : So that, refolving to make a better, they began with the Stee- Dun^pk'nPle, which was finiQYd c in Anno MCCXKI. (5 H. g?) and ww. cotton. t hen going on with the Quire, according to the like Form of Architecture, as we yet fee, perfected it in Anno MCCXL. (24. H. 3.) as may feem by the new Dedication d of the Church, in that very Year : At which great Solemnity, Eadmund then ?iiutione f ' weto" Archbifhop of Canterbury and fix other Bifhops were f prefent s ; g i jlc w£ a? 0«othe Pope's Legate, and King Henry the third, him- ! raum eg. felf, with a Multitude of People ; Roger furnamed Niger > then Laur ' Bifliop of lonuon, being the main Caufe thereof ; who procu- red an Indulgence of XL Days Pardon, to all fuch, as fliould (de peccatis fuis were poenitentibus, confejfis & contritis^) being truly confefs'd and contrite of their Sins) come with Devotion there- to; which Indulgence was to ftand good alfo, on the Anniver* fary of the faid Dedication for ever. That this Roger was a great Benefactor to the before^fpecify'd h ib. f. 6.x. Fabrick, cannot be doubted ; for I find h that in 14 H. 3. he confirmed whatfoever Maurice, his PredecefTbr , had granted thereto ; and moreover ratify 'd all thofe Oblations, made at Whitfontide, which Euftace de Fauconbrigge (the immediate foregoing Bifhop) had reftored for the fame Purpofe. That he was likewife, for his fingular Piety, canonized for a Saint, ap- *'m!f. S pc- peareth by an Indulgence * of XXX. Days Pardon, granted in *\n s '%.*c MCCLII by Hugh de Balfham Bifliop of Clp, to all fuch as Cdp ' being truly penitent and confefs'd of their Sins,(hould for Prayer or Devotion's Sake, vifithis Tomb (a true Reprefentation where- of, I have in its Place exhibited.) In which Pardon he is thus mention'd, viz. — Beati Rogeri Epifcopi & Conf efforts : Soalfoin the like Indulgence f in An. MCCLXIX. by John Breton Bifhop of §>erefotti* Concluding therefore, the Tower Steeple finiflied as above- faid ; and fo much as the Quire, at that Time was then begun ; I (hall now demonftrate, how the molt of the Charge in carry- ing on fo great a Work, became fupported : Which, in brief, was by the Bounty of good People, throughout both the Realms of Stifflmrti and 3[telaitH, whofe fervent Devotion, to the Advance- ment Saint P A U Us Cathedral. merit of God's Service, incited them moft willingly to further all Works of this Nature, as Occafion was offered. And that this was the Way by which they herein proceeded to raife Monies, the fundry Letters ' of the feveral Bifhops of J ff p j£ ia * both Nations to the Clergy under their Charge for Recommeri^f- ^ dation of the Bufinefs to their particular Congregations, is moft evident ; a Multitude whereof I have feen and read : By which Letters there are Indulgences extending to a certain Number of Days for fuch Penance as they had Injunction to perform, granted to all thofe, as being truly lorry for their Sins, and confefs'd, mould afford their Helps towards this pious Work. The firft of them that I have met with being by Hugh Foliot Bifhop of ^crcfojt!, to the Clergy and others of his Diocefe, dated on the Day of the Exaltation of the Holy Crofs (commonly called Holy Rood Day) in An. MCCXXV1IL (13 H Ill ) for XX. Days Penance, was to be in force for feven Years. The like did R'cbard Wether/bed Archbifhop of Canterfutcp grant for XL. Days Penance to thofe of his in An. MCCXXX. So alfo Anfelm Bi- fhop of St. Datiss in An. MCCXXX 111. And two Years after, fcil. An. MCCXXX V. Henry Archbifhop of Colein (in German?) being then in (Snjrlmiti, exciting all Per- fons whatfoever thus to further this noble Work, granted the like to them for Relaxation of L. Days Penance, as by his Let- ters bearing Date at the Brtu CempU in lontian on the Day of the Invention of the Holy Crofs appeareth. Not long after this (for I take it to be before the 20th. of Henry III. tho' the Inftrument have no Date) there was Provi^ (ion of fitting Timber made for the Stalls in the Quire, the Bifhops ftill perfifting to ifTue out their Letters hortatory, as abovefaid, in order as followeth, wz.

So did alfo that from Richard Bifhop of Ccetet in An. MCCLII. In which Year Pope Innocent III. fending out his Pardon for Releate of XL.

Howbeit, this Work of the Quire was not all ; for clear it is, that either the Roof of the old Structure was made new, or fubftantially repaired about this Time, it being then in a rui- nous Condition : For in thofe Letters hortatory, fent out by Fouk Bafjet Bifliop of ton&ott, in An. MCCLV. to ftir up the People to liberal Contributions, and wherein he fpecially de- fires, that all Perfons in their Teftaments will take fuch Confi- deration of this Building, as to bequeath fomewhat thereto, mentions the great Decay of the faid Roof thus quod Eccle* ■ Jia S.

That the Church of St. Paul was in Times paft Jo Jloatterd by Tempers, that the whole Roof thereof feemed very ruinous. But how munificent the People were in thofe Days, and in what an ample Manner they then contributed to fuch 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. Faittis Church, which being intended long before, as may * e x amog. feem from an Affignation * for that Purpofe of certain new im~ V SV^' D ' proved Lands lying in Cfcttmergfa^, made in An.

But, about this time, it feems that the main Brunt was over; for afterwards I find but few more of thofe Letters hortatory, the next p being not till more than ten Years following, by the p lh - fame Richard Bifhop of pmiop, in Anno MCCXCIIII. and for XL.

And having now done with the main Structure of this goodly wfewV Cathedral, I may not omit to obferve, that Henry de Lacy, Earl l Sn^Anxn- °f ttncolrt, was a very great Benefactor w to that Part of it, called Me< . Cftc JRetu 20o$ 3 for which Refpe£t he was buried at the Eaft cofton.yii 'End thereof in S. Vimftans Chapel, where flood a goodly Mo- ^'g° 3 th ^ nument for him, with his Image in Armour of Male, Crofs- 165. a . leg'd, as I have there reprefented. So alfo was Rapb de Baldock ; firft whilft he was Dean, and afterwards Bifhop, who likewife had Sepulture in the midft of that Part of it, which is called Out tafcp Cfjapcl, at the Head of Bifhop Braybroke's Monument: But his Portraiture in Brafs, and Epitaph, were long fince torn from the Marble under which his Body refted. The next Thing which I conceive moft proper to be taken notice of, is, of what elfe I have feen that relates to the inward or outward Part thereof, either efTentially, or in Point of Orna- ment, as I find Mention of them in Order of Time, beginning with the High Altar. The high ai- This, as appeareth by the indented Covenants x betwixt Tixautog. Raphe de Baldock Bifhop of iontJOtt, and one Richard Tikerell a A(hmoll a ^ Citizen, had a beautiful Tablet made and fitted to fet thereon Am. • in An. MCCCIX. (3 £.11.) varioufly adorned with many precious Stones, and enamel'd Work ; as alfo with divers Images of Metal : ; Which Tablet ftood betwixt two Columns, within a Frame of Wood to cover it, richly fet out with cu- rious Pidtures, the Charge whereof amounted to CC.

By the Favour alfo of which Bifhop, there was then granted an Indulgence c of CL. Days Pardon, annually, to en- dure for the Space of XX VII. Yeafs. In the fame Year alfo there was an exadt Meafure d taken of dUfe. this Irately and magnificent Church, both in Length, Breadth^ th^cSh, and Height : By which the Length thereof was found to con- tain fix hundred and ninety Foot ; the Breadth Cxxx. Foot, the Height of the Roof of the Weft Part from the Floor CIL Foot, the Height of the Roof of the new Fabrick (wz. Eaft from the Steeple) from the Pavement Lxxxviii. Foot : The whole Body of the Church CL. Foot ; the Space of Ground, on which it itands, extending to three Acres and a half, one Rood and a half, and fix Perches. The Height of the Tower-Steeple from the Level Ground CCLX. Foot : The Height of the Spire of Wood (covered with Lead) CCLXXIV. Foot; and yet the whole, viz. Tower and Spire exceeded not five hundred and twenty Foot : The Ball above the Head of the Spire being fo 3 arge as it would contain within it ten Bufhels of Corn ; the Length of the Crofs, above the faid Ball or Pomel xv. Foot, and the Traverfe of the faid Crofs VI. Foot. All which being written e in a certain Tablet, with large Characters, heretofore -^^^ hung on the North Part of the Quire. ^.Cantab. The next Thing, as to the inward Ornament (that hath come piaure of to my View) is the Picture of St. Paul, richly painted, and s ' F sJ' Mt ^ placed f in a beautiful Tabernacle of Wood on the Right Hand f . the High Altar, in Anno MCCCXCVIII. (** R. II.) the Price 2 ® of its Workmanfhip amounting s to xii /. xvi j. In which glorious Condition I fhall for a while leave this fa- mous Church, and proceeed in taking notice of what elfe hath been moft remarkable therein ; whereof the firft that I have met with, is that fignal Grant h made to the Dean and Canons by r^/^f; Sir William le Baud Kt. in 3 E.

Son and Heir to the before-fpecify'd Sir William, by his Deed, bearing Date on the Ides of July 30 E. 1. for the Health of his Soul, and for the Souls of his Progeni- tors and Heirs, confirming his faid Father's Grant, did oblige himfelf and his Heirs, as alFb his Lands and Tenements for the the future, in Manner and Form following; that every Year for ever, on the Day of the Converfeon of Saint Paul in Winter, there fhould be a good fat Doe brought by one of his or their fitting Servants, and not the whole Family, at the Hour of Proceffion, and through the mid ft thereof, and offer'd at the high Altar, without exading any Thing, for the faid Service, of the beforemention'd Dean and Chapter. And on the Day of the Commemoration of St. Paul, in Summer, a fat Buck, by fome fuch Servant, attended with as many of the Family as had heretofore been ufual, and fo carried through the midft of the Proceffion, offer'd at the faid high Altar, as afore* faid, the faid Dean and Chapter, after the Offering thus per- formed, giving by the Hands of their Chamberlain 1 a d.

Junii in the thirteenth Year of his Reign, to the Honour of God and holy Church, and of thofe Saints whofe Bodies were buried therein, as alfo for the better Security of the Saint P A U Us Cathedral. I p the Canons and Officers belonging thereto, granted unto the faid Dean and Canons Licenfe to include the fame Church- Yard with a Wall on every Side, with fitting Gates and Pofterns therein, to be opened every Morning, and clofed at Night. About this Time, Richard de Grawefende being Bifhop of JLottUon, confidering k with himfelf, that though in divers other ic > p a t. 2 .E. Cathedrals of this Realm, fome learned Doctors in Divinity i£p£^; had anciently read in that Faculty, but not in this. of Lon&on, ^"'y u * which was more famous than any ; fo that they were conftrain- ed to procure others from far to that Purpofe ; at his very flrft Ordination, by the Confent of his Chapter, decreed, 1 that the Chancellor of this Church, as a Man moft proper for fuch a Ser- vice, by reafon of his Office, mould undergo the fame Lecture for the time to come ; and that thenceforth none might be or- dained Chancellor there, unlefs he were a Matter, or a Batchelor in Divinity; and who by himfelf mould perform that Task; or in cafe he were lawfully hindred, procure another fit Perfon to do it: And forafmuch as the Revenues, belonging to the Chancellor, were not a fufficient Support for the Undergoing of this Duty, and that of his Office too ; it appears, that Raph de Baldok % the fucceeding Biffiop, by his Grant m bearing 111 #< Date at tontioir, the Morrow after the Feaft of Saint Andrew the Apoftle, a E. a. by the Advice and Confent of his Chap- ter, in farther Augmentation of the Revenues belonging to that Office of Chancellor, gave and appropriated thereunto, the Church of ^Hmg, excepting x /. per annum payable out of it for the Maintenance of a: Vicar. The next Thing, that is obfervable concerning this Cathe- dral (that I have met with) is that Immunity n granted unto the n Canons thereof in 7 E. 0. throughout all the Mannours belong^'*'*' ^ ing thereto, that no Purveyor of the King's fhould take any f™™ u t h e ty Corn within the Precin&sof them : Which Mannours are parti- King's p U r- cularly enumerated : viz.

Having thus fhewed by«what Degrees it amounted to fo great J^ ^ a Height in its Buildings, and Opulency in its outward Re- jewels, efr. venues ; I fhall now take notice of the Splendor that it had by the inward Furniture in thofe Days belonging thereto ; which, confifting in a Multitude of glorious Jewels,mafly Plate,rare and coftly Manufcripts, fumptuous Shrines, rich Veftments, magnifi- cent zo The HISTORY*/ cent Suits of Hangings, and other Ornaments, as are to Ao% miration, doth fufficiently make evident unto us, what earned Zeal was borne to God himfelf, by thofe our pious Anceftors^ who (luck not at that Charge tor the Adorning of his Houfe; o ex ccdMs.o as t ^ e y are regiftred upon a Survey made by Rapb de Baudak in ^:^jf.anno MCCXCV.

EctU O . !»*'.'*) i cub. , \ • - ..." icj •» f< particulars TT Come now to fpeak of fuch Things , which had peculiar Se 5" ° Ji Reference to the Bleffed Virgin, in this Church ; whofe Me- ViTgin ' mory was in high Regard in thofe ancient Times. The firft tJ? tne ** e ? tnat * have ^ een ^ ls an Affignation q made by Euftace ® Ca P- de Fauconbrigge, Bifhop of tontion, fhortly after the Beginning of King Henry Hi's Time, of the Church of iBumffetie, which the Prior and Covent of ^tofce, at his Requeft, 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 5 Marks, iffuing out of the Church of jrmc&fngfieRI'? fo that fix Clerks mould be made Choice of every Day, with one Prieft of the Quire, by Turns, to be at the Celebration of the Mafs of our Lady, and alfo to fay Mittens and all other Cano- nical Hours, at her Altar. And in Anno MCCXCIX. (27 E. 1.) the Prior and Covent f Ih ' of Cfjetfo?tJ gave r four Marks per Annum, to be diftributed like- wife amohgft the Clerks, which mould celebrate the Mafs of £X*™ the faid Bleffed Virgin, at her Altar. Which Altar was (doubt- lefs) it that ftood in a certain Chappel, dedicated to the Honour s it* of our Lady, in this Church ; whereunto I find, s that the Exe- cutors of Hugh de Pourte, in 1 1 E. 2. gave 1 8 s. yearly Rent, to maintain one Taper of three Pounds Weight, to burn before it every Day , whilft her Mafs mould be folemnizing ; and at every Proceflion of the Quire, before the fame Altar, image of our J3ut in the Body of the Church, ftood the glorious Image of *g£ the Bleffed Virgin, 1 fix'd to the Pillar, at the Foot of Sir John de Bcaucbamp\ Tomb (viz. the fecond Pillar on the South Side, from the Steeple Weft wards ) Before which, that there might be a Lamp burning every Night, I find a Grant u made to the Dean and Chapter of this Cathedral, in Anno MCCCLXV. (39 E. gOby John Bar net, then Bilhop of OBatf) and G&eite, of one Water-Mil], LXXVI Acres of arable Land, V Acres of Meadow, IX Acres of Pafture, VIII Acres of Wood, and 43 s. yearly Saint PA U Us Cathedral. 21 yearly Tte nt ; lying in JRattofce in the County of €fler. : In which Grant he appointeth, that after Mattens celebrated in the Quire every Day, and thofe prefent thereat gone out, an Anthem of our Lady, fail. Nefciens mater, or fome other folemn one, fuitable to the Time, ihould be fung before the faid Image, with a Verficle : Which being performed, the graveft Perfon then pre- fent, to fay a CoUeEl of the faid Bleffed Virgin ; afterwards the Pfalm of De frofundis, for the Souls of all the Faithful, with the Verficle and Prayer, Deus, cujus miferatione, &c. and then the fame Perfon to fay thus, Anim& omnium fidelium defuntlorum, per Dei ntifericordiam, requiefcant in face. Many and frequent were the Oblations which were made to this Image by devout People and Pilgrims, as by the Accompts w of the Church Officers appeareth : infomuch as the Bifhop ex- * pe<5ted fome Advantage thereby : But to this the Dean and thereto. Chapter not yielding, the Difference was referr'd to the Arbi- tration of Thomas Arundel Archbifliop of Cantetbutp ; who, by his Award x bearing Date the 15th of Feb, An. MCCCCXL* **• (13. H. 4. ) adjudged them totally to the Dean and Canons refident ; forafmuch as it was then proved, that thofe Oblations had been formerly received by their Subftitutes, viz. the Cham- berlain?, and BelMlingers of the Church ; who giving their daily Attendance therein, and taking notice of thofe that offer'd their Tapers burning ; having extinguifrYd the Light, carried them to a Room below the Chapter-Houfe, and there caufed them to be melted, to the life of the faid Dean and Canons. And as for the Oblations of Mony, which were put into an Iron Box, fixt to the fame Pillar, under the Feet of that Image; they were then alfo decreed y by the before-fpecify'd Archbifliop y lbt to the fame Dean and Canons and their SuccefTors for ever. But, befides the before-fpecify'd Chappel or Altar of our Lady, chappei &« in the Body of the Church, as abovefaid, there was another in ^ady, the BetM ©Ho$ {viz. above the Quire) whereof the firft Mention^ Work. w " that I have found, z is in Anno MCCCXXIX. (4 E. 3.) theft** then Dean (fciL John de Everdon) and Canons, granting a feven Tapers, each weighing two Pounds, to burn at the Celebra- tions therein, to the Honour of God, our Lady, and St. Law rence ; and appointed that the Charge of thofe Tapers mould be fupported out of the Oblations made by good People there- to ; who, either for Reverence of thofe Saints, or the Images of St. Lawrence and St. John Baptift ; ftanding about that Chap- pel, or of St. Mary Magdalen, on the Outride thereof, to the Eaft, had recourfe thither. So likewife was there an Image of our Lady, in the faid Part, image of ou« called the jfteto Lei. cut which Place was interred, * under a large Marble, the Body %/> * of Richard Martin, Bifliop of Saint Da\)tU0 in G2Iaie& about the latter End of King Edward IV's Reign ; by whom the Chori^ fters of this Cathedral had a yearly Exhibition given f unto them, for to ring San&e Deus fortis, &c. before the fame Cruet' fix. 1 shfine^ W 'X Now come to the Shrine of Saint Erkenwald (of whom I JL have already made fome brief Mention) which ftood on the Eaft Side of the Wall above the high Altar ; the Bones of this famous Bifhop and ConfefTor, being on the 1 8 Kal. of De- * Mat. weft, cember Anno MCXLV1II. ( fcil. i^Steph.) tranflated e thither out of the Body of the Church, where at firft he was bu^ ried. To this Shrine, for the great Opinion then had of the Mira- cles wrought thereat, were the Oblations very numerons ; and many of them confiderable, as it feems ; for I find, that Walter f ex *utog.pc- de Thorpe, a Canon of this Church, by his Teftament f bear- ™F*S' D ' & { n g j) ate £ nno MCCCXIX. f 3 2 -) g ave thereunto all his Gold Rings and Jewels of what Sort foever : And that in 1 & E. 0. the Dean and Chapter beftowed no fmall Coft in the A- doming thereof, with Gold, Silver, and precious Stones : Yet was it not thought fufficient : For in Anno MCCCXXXIX. E Jht (3 1 E. 3.) there were certain Covenants g made betwixt the then Dean and Chapter, and three Goldfmiths of lonDon, whereby they were retained to work upon it, for no lefs than a whole ■ j Saint PAULV Cathedral. ±j a whole Year ("beginning at Candlemas) one of them at the Wa- ges of 8 s. by the Week, and the other two at 5 s. a piece r By reafon of which Luftre, it grew fo fam'd, that on 5. Cal. Julii^ 34 " 3 ° about three Years after, John, King of jFrance (being then a friibner in CngtarttO vifiting this Cathedral, having heard Mafs at the high Altar, came to it, and made an Oblation h of 1 2 No- *> ** v*. bleS. t pr*f.Z>.&. And *! ifo/w MCCCLXXXVI. (16 & 0.) 2fcW Braybroke Ca *' Bifhop of Honuon, by a folemn Decree 1 ordaining , that^w§ the Da*ys of the Convex fion arid Commemoration of Saint fW, c*p. (to whom this Church was fpecially dedicated) fhould thence- forth be celebrated throughout his Diocefe, equally with the higher* Feftivals, joined therewith, the Day of the Burial of this Saint Erkenxvald, 'viz. ult. Aprilis, and Day of his Tranflation, 'Viz, XVIII. Kal. Dec. (cujus merita gloriofa in eadem Ecclejia miracw hfe corufcant, as faith the Inftrumenr, whofe glorious Merits did Jhine forth miraculoujly in this Church.) Which Day had an- ciently been ufed to be kept holy, as he there affirmeth ; but of late neglected : Allowing to all thofe, which mould fo fo- lemnize them, an Indulgence of 40 Days Pardon, vere faeniten* tibus, contritis & confejfis, being truly penitent and confefsd of their Sins. Which faid Day of Saint Paul's Converfion, though it had not been celebrated through the whole Diocefe (as it feemeth) till this Decree of Bifhop Braybroke, fo made as abovefaid : Yet^ that the Solemnizing of it here was not only of great An- tiquity, but fignally famous for the Venerablenefs and State thereof, we have the Teftimony of a fpecial Record ; * im-^. 3 ».'i/. w porting, that King Henry III. by his. Precept dated at Dober* 17. Jan. in the 28th Year of his Reign, and directed to William de Haverbull, then Lord Treafurer, commanded him to feed fif- teen thoufand poor People in Saint Paul's Church- Yard, upon that Feftival, and to provide xv hundred Tapers, then to be placed within the Church ; the Charge whereof to be allowed out of the Profits of the Bifhoprick of LcmBon, at that Time in the King's Hands, by the Death of Roger Niger the late Re- verend Bifhop of this See. After this, €iz. in 1 5 R Q. I find, k that Richard de Prefion, k lh - a Citizen and Grocer of lonDott, gave to this Shrine his beft Sapphyre Stone, there to remain for curing of Infirmities in the Eyes ; appointing that Proclamation (hould be made of it's Vertues. And in Anno MCCCXCIII. the lame Robert, Bifhop of lontion, to the end that nothing might be deficient at the Ce- lebration of thofe Feftivals, commanded, 1 that all the Clergy 1 of his Diocefe fhould repair hither on fhofe Days in their Copes, accor> 24 The HISTORY of Bo according to the ancient Manner and Cuftoms ufed in the Pro* ceffions of this Church. \ In Anno MCCCC.

Which Place, with the Patronage thereof, he purchafed of Sir Walter Manny Knight. And to the faid Houfe, when fully per- fected, he appointed, that his two beft Silver Bafons fhould be delivered for to ferve at the Altar there, with a Veflel of Silver enameled (in which the Hoft ufed to be put.)

The Truth is, that the Soul, knowing itfelf immortal (as the before-fpecify'd learned Gentleman hath well obfer> hisTravds;. ved ) dotl? deflre that the Body ( her beloved Companion ) might enjoy, as far forth as may be, the like Felicity ; giving thereto, by performing Funeral Dues, and erecting lofty Monuments , all poffible Eternity : And therefore 'tis no Wonder there hath been fo univerfal a Deflre in every Age throughout all Nations, to tranfmit the Memory of worthy Men to Pofterity, by fuch Monuments, that wherefoever we travel, or confult their Stories, the Teftimony thereof will j/ilic.fa ' k e c * ear enou gh- Nay Saint p Auguftin tells us, that the decent and honourable Burial of the Dead builds up the Aflurance that we have of their Refurre&ion ; and inftan- cetn q tne P ra &i ce °f tne Egyptians in that curious Way of preserving their Bodies, to be fuch as it is, by reafon of that their Belief. Who hath not heard of thofe ftupendous Pyramids, the Mo- numents of fome of their Kings ? And what other Reafon is there, probably, for them, than that which Diodorus ticuhts gives; Saint P A U Us Cathedral. 47 t gives; viz. that of this Life they make fmatl Account, irf?**' 1 ' regard it is lb ftiort ; i but that which after Death is joined with a glorious Memory of Vertue, they highly value ? That Greece, and all the old Roman Empire, hath abound- ed with Monuments of famous Men, in various Forms , is there not, befides the Credit of many worthy Writers, the Teftimony of divers obferving Perfons^ who have in our Times travelled into thofe Parts? Yea, that the Northern Na- tions , which have been reckon'd the moft barbarous of any, had no lefs Regard to their deceafed Friends and Kindred, doth not the learned Ohms Wormius s fufficiently declare ? 3 nim*. And what Efteem fuch Monuments have had by fucceding 4m '' Ages , this Example of Otlauius Auguftus may (hew ; who when he faw the Tomb of Alexander the Great, where the Bo- Sueton ^ dy of that famous Conqueror was exhibited alfo to his View, ^u- Corona aurea impofoa, ac floribus afperjis, veneratus eft, faith Sue- urb.\ Grave fend, Raph a de Baldok, Richard b de Newport, Michael f£ Qw , sSm de c Nortbburgb, Richard A Clifford, Richard c Hill, and Richard s vey,£ 367.*.

Of Earls here entombed, there were two, viz. Henry de Lacy, Earl of Lincoln, in the upper End of the South He above the Quire (called S. Dunftans Chappel;) which Earl, in 4 H.

Amongft the feveral other Perfons of Note, whofe Bodies, doubtlefs, are interred here, tho' no known Monument over them hath been in our Time remaining, I muft not forget that famous and learned Radulphus de Diceto (or Difce) fome time kctm.i.n. Dean f tn i s Church (already fpoke of) of whom BaUus k makes this honourable Mention, viz. that he was fam<£ non moritura Do- &or theologus, a DoEtor in Divinity of immortal Fame: Adding, that velut alter Jofephus aut Philo, fua gentis Vetera monumenta, atque inclita facia, perpetuate ftudens, multa retroaEiis feculis incognita, pro* duxitin lucem; and that, as another Jofephus, or Philo, fludying to perpetuate the ancient Monuments, and noble A&s of his Country, he brought Saint P A U L s Cathedral. $l brought to Light many Things unknown to former Ages. Neither Roger de Waltham, a Canon here in King Henry Ill's Time, in regard he was accounted 1 in thofe Days a Man of great Learn- / Ba!*icv»*. ing : Which Roger, for the Health of his own Soul and his An- 4 ' 1 ' ceftors, founded m a Chantry of two Prierrs. to celebrate Divine m f* , -r j i penes prcej. 2?.- Service at the Altar of S. Laurence, oppdiite to the Sextry, as & c ap . is el few here obferved. Nor Adam de Muremuth, a Canon likewife of this Church, who was n a- faithful, tho' not very elegant Writer, and dom-J ^f^!' piled the Story of our Englijh Kings, from the Year 1355, un- o L.e\.coi. to 1 367. : * Of others, farther than what thofe Epitaphs in the following Pages exhibited do import, I can fay no more; forafmuch as the difmal Ruins, formerly made here, have put an End to any future Difcovery that can be made of them : Which unhappy Stop puts me to this fad Contemplation ; 'viz. that if thofe that faw the Temple which King Solomon built, and Nebuchadnezzar deftroyed, wept when they beheld that which was erected in the room thereof, becaufe it only fell fhort of the former in Statelinefs and Beauty ; what may we do, that have lately feen the Deftrudlion of this magnificent Church, once the Glory of our principal City, and of the whole Nation; and the Mo- numents of fo many famous Men in their Times thus torne in Pieces ; yea, their very Bones and Duft pulled out of their Graves, in hope to difcover fome Treafure or Jewels buried with them ? In which barbarous Search, the Body of Sebba (one of our Saxon Kings,) was found curioufly embalmed with iweet Odours, and cloathed in rich Robes ; So likewife feveral Bifhops, lying in their proper Habits, with Miters on their Heads, and Crofters 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 (lender Recompence for fo wicked, facrilegious, and deferrable an Adventure.) Here might it not be improper to take notice of what we find denounced in facred Scripture againft thofe which are De- ftroyers of God's Houfe, (for fo the Church p is called) andP^JM taking away the Pofleffions belonging thereto; as alfo what Temporal Judgments have, by the Stories of our own and o- ther Nations, been obferved to fall upon Offenders in that Kind. But the Subftance of what is to be laid herein, is fo excellently fpoken by that learned and pious Gentleman Sir Henry Sfelman Knt. in his Difcourfe de non temerandis Ecclejiis (which hath been thrice printed) that I will forbear: Concluding with what Sir Walter Raleigh exprefleth * of the wonderful Deftruftion that **$*f d f befell Part of Xerxes his Army, which fack'd the Temple o(^- Ca P- 6 - Apollo 5 **'*' The H I S T O RY of Apollo at Delpbos ; viz. That this Attempt of Xerxes was impious ; for feeing he believed that Apollo was a God, hejbouldnot have dared to entertain a covetous Dejire of enriching himfelf by committing Sacru lege upon his Temple : Wherefore, it may poffibly be true (faith he) that Licenfe to chaftize his Impiety in fuch Manner as is reported {viz. that many of his Soldiers were overwhelm'd by Rocks) was granted unto the Devil by that Holy One, who faith, Will a Man fpoil his Gods? 1 1 now .come to thofe Monumental Infcriptions, together with the. reft of thofe Tombs, which were (landing in Anno MDCXLI. the Shadows whereof are exactly reprefented. : .

The CharneL THis was a Chapel ftanding on the North fide of the Church-yard, in that very place, where a Stationers Houfe and Shop,wz. the Sign of the/fo/e is now fituate; having under it a Vault, wherein the Bones taken out of fundry Graves in that Cimetery, were, with great refpeft and care, decently piled together; but with its original Foundation I have not met.nor feen any thing; more ancient thereof, than a Grant s made s Ex m °$- n about the Beginning of King Edward f . time, by the Lady Di*®cap. onyfia de Montcbenfie ; who, for the health of her Soul, as alfo for the Souls of her Anceftors and all the Faithful deceafed, gave, in her pure Widowhood, one Quarter of good Wheat, to be paid yearly out of her Mannour of ancftie (in Surrey) for the Support thereof ; as alfo of the Priefts there celebrating di- vine Service. After which time feveral Chantries were founded therein; viz, in Anno MCCLXXVI. one by Henry de Edelmeton, a Citizen of lontion > who by his Teftament c bequeathed fix Marks yearly, t \ to a certain Chaplain, to celebrate divine Service therein for hisw> /6 » Soul, and the Souls of his Anceftors; and xx s> annually for the x ' Maintenance of a Lamp. And the next Year following, an- other by u Roger Bevin^ for which he affigned the like Rent of vi. Marks. Another Chantrie was alfo founded w in it about that time, for the Soul of Athelina de S. Olavo; the Prieft celebrating therein having the like Affignation. As to the Government of this Chapel, I find x , that the Warden thereof was to take care of the Ornaments belonging to it; and that the Door fhould be kept open during the Otlaves of the Church's Dedication, as alfo for three Days in Whitfon Week : So likewife in the Feaft of Reliques, from the Hour that the Mafs of the Apoftles fhould be celebrated, until after Vefpers ; and on all the fix Holy Days of the whole Year, from the faid Hour till Noon, to the end that Pilgrims might have free Ac- cefs into it. Which Warden was alfo to procure and receive all Legacies, and Offerings; as alfo Tapers, at the Exequies of the deceafed, throughout the whole City ; fo likewife all Oblations made therein : For which he was to be accountable unto the Warden of the Fabrick of our Bkjfed Lady (feil. The BeUJ £$o?k.) L 1 But i?2 The HISTORY of But, notwithstanding thefe Chantries fo founded therein, as hath been faid, the Revenue belonging thereto, was, in time, fofhrunk, that the Chapel became wholly deftituteof divine Service : Whereupon Jenkyn Carpenter, Executor to the famous Alderman Whitington (Citizen and MercerJ in 8 H. 6. obtained ypat. 8 d.Licenfe y from the King, to found a Chantry for one Prieft, to celebrate divine Service daily thereirf; and to grant Lands, &c, of wit.

HAving now faid what I can, touching this famous Cathe^ dral; as alfo of thofe Places, which belong'd thereto ; I come, laftly, to fpeak again of the Fabrick. The firft thing, that in Order of Time, hath occurred to my View, concerning this glorious Structure, is of a Fire in the Tin> ber-work of the Steeple, which befell a it on Candlemafs Eve in^f;^ Anno MCCCCXLIV. (n H. 6.) occafioned by Lightning; and though happily quenched by the Morrow Mafs Prieft of *Boto, did fuch hurt therein, that it was not fufficiently repaired till the Year MCCCCLXIL (a £. 4.) But then, a coftly Weather^ ^ cock, b made of Copper, and gilt, (the Length whereof from the v ^l^i Head to the Tail, being four Foot ; the Breadth over the Wings, three Foot and a half; and the Weight of it*/ lib) was fet up; the Shaft whereon it (rood (which was zv Foot mi Inches long, and the Traverfe v Foot ten Inches, all of firm Oak) having a Cover of Lead, plated over with Copper ; the Compafs of the Ball being iz Foot and one Inch; as appeared c by meafure, at c tb. the taking down thereof, for its better Repair in Anno MDLIIL^" xe>6im ( 1 Maria) a perfect Reprefentation of all which, as it then ftood, I have here exhibited. But not long after this, viz. 4. Junii Anno MDLXI. (} Eliz) a far worfe Mifchance befell it, by Lightning d alfo; that fet it^-t-iv-*' on fire about three Yards from the Top. But a later * Wri-^f b f ter gives another account of the Caufe.

Web happened through his Negligence only, in leaving carelefly a Pan of Coals, and other Fewel, in the Steeple, when he went to Dinner; which, taking hold on the dry Timber in the Spire, before his Return, was grown fo dangerous, that it was not poffible to quench it : And therefore to no Purpofe (as he conceived) to make any Words of it. Which having confumed the whole Spire, did fpread itfelf to the up- per Roof of the Church and Ifles ; totally burning all the Raf- rers^ and what elfe was combuftible, within the Space of four Hours. Whereupon the Queen, out of a deep Apprehenfion of this lamentable Accident, forthwith directed e her Letters to the Lord Mayor of ionnon 3 requiring him to take fome fpeedy Order for its Repair ; and to further the Work, gave out of her own Purfe, a thoufand Marks in Gold ; as alio Warrant for a thouland Loads of Timber, to be taken in her Woods, or elfewhere. • Nor were the Citizens flack therein ; for having given a large Benevolence, they added f three whole Fifteens, to be fpeedi- ]y paid for that Purpofe (all which amounted to 3247 /. 16 j. 01 d. ob.) the Clergy of (SngiatitJ, within the Province of Can* terbtttp, freely contributing the 40th Part of all fuch Church- Livings as were charged with firft Fruits; and the 30th Part of all other their Benefices, thofe of ionUoit excepted ; who, be- fides the 30th Part of fuch as paid firft Fruits, gave the 20th Part of the reft ; the Particular of which Contributions, from each Bifhoprick, I have here added ; viz. s lontiort cirantetbutp Con. & tit% Ipetetbtwigf) lincoltt St. Dainty St. afapfj Quango? /. /. d. s.

Which good Work was profecuted with fuch Diligence, that h before the Month of April Anno MDLXVI. all the Roofs of* Timber ( whereof thofe large ones of the Eaft and Weft were framed in f oiWxz, and brought by Sea) were perfectly finifh'd and covered with Lead : But the Steeple, though divers Mo- dels were then made o£ it, was let alone. Neither was any Thing more attempted towards it, during the Life of that Queen : No nor in the Time of King James, till the 1 8th Year of his Reign : But then, having been frequently folicited by one Ma- tter Henry Farley, for the Space of eight Years before, (who, tho' a private Man, was fo extremely zealous to promote the Work, that he ceafed not by fundry Petitions to importune that King therein) his princely Heart was moved with fuch Companion to this decayed Fabrick, that for Prevention of its near Ap- proaching Ruin (by the corroding Quality of the Coal Smoak, efpecially in moift Weather, whereunto it had been fo long fub- je£t) confidering with himfelf how vaft the Charge would be; as alio, that without very great and publick Helps, it could not be borne ; to beget the more venerable Regard towards fo worthy an Enterprise, and more effectually to put it forwards, he came in great State thither, on Horfeback, upon Sunday the a6th of March Anno MDCXX. with all the Lords and great Officers of his Court, Sir William Cokain Knight, being then Lord Mayor ; who, with the City in their Liveries, then al- io gave their Attendance. Where alighting, at the Weft Door, having kneeled near the brazen Pillar, and prayed for good Sue- cefs to this his pious Intention, he was received under a Cano- py, fupported by the Dean and Refidentiaries ; the reft of the Prebends and Dignitaries, with the whole Company of Singing Men, going before. And having thus proceeded to the Quire, which was adorn'd with his own Hangings for that Occafion, and there heard an Anthem, he went to the Crofs ; where the then Reverend Bi- fhop of LantJou (Do&or John King) preach'd a learned Sermon ? upon a Text given him by his Majefty^ as pertinent to the Bu- flnefs V 138 The HISTORY of flnefs in hand, viz. on P film 102. ver. 13 & 14. And when Sermon was ended, repaired to the Bifliop's Palace, with his . faid Nobles, and the whole Train of his Servants attending him ; where they were magnificently entertained with feveral let Ban- quets. After which great Solemnity, much Confultation being had, of what was moft fit to be done, in order to the Beginning and Carrying on of fo noble and pious a Work; the faid King, at i m. 18 length, iflued out his Royal Commiffion 1 under the Great Seal 1' Nov An °^ ^"Stanfc, bearing Date the 1 6th Day of November jihen next fol- 1620.

Which Commiffion, importing, that this Church, being the greateft and moft eminent ; as alfo one of the principal Orna- ments of the Realm, and in much Decay ; any fix, or more^ of thefe Commiflioners, whereof three to be of the fa id King's Privy-Council, fhould meet, to make particular Difcovery of the faid Decays ; and likewife, what Houfes, Cellars, ly, to appoint Surveyors and other Officers for the Work, and to make Certificate of their Proceedings therein, into the Chan* eery. Upon Meeting of which Commiflioners, and diligent Search made into the Particulars before fpecified, it was acknowledged^ that the Bifhop of lonticn had peculiar Care of the whole Body of the Church, and the Dean and Chapter, of the Quire : But that what each of them enjoyed as to this Purpofe, was fo lit- tle, as that they yearly expended double as much upon the Roof and other Parts decayed, to preferve them from prefent Ruin. Which being made evident to the Commiflioners; as alfo that in former Times, even from the very firft Foundation thereof, it had been fupported, partly out of the large Oblations of thofe that vifited the Shrines and Oratories therein; and part- ly from fuch publsck Contributions, whereof I have already in my Difcourfe of the Fabrick given inftance ; the Heat of their Enquiry, who under Pretence of this needful Repair, aimed at the Ruin of the Bifhop, and other Members of the Church (as the Earl of Southampton, and fome other Perfons o£ Ho* nour well obferved) began much to cool : And upon a ferious Deliberation of what was moft proper to be done, they conclu- ded ; that, as anciently it had been, fo now, a general Bene* volence throughout the whole Kingdom fhould be attempted ; and that, for the better Encouragement thereof, the Nobility and Gentry, who flood beft affe&ed to fo good a Work, might be moved, to fignify, by Subfcriptions, what they would con- tribute thereto. N n Where- 140 The HISTORY of Whereupon, the King himfelf, to give Example unto others, began the Subfcription, moft of the Nobility, and many more following very chearfully therein ; the then Bifhop giving O. and fubfcribing for fo much annually, as long as he mould continue in that See, which was but a ftiort Time ; for the V»- ^21. next enfuing Year he died. * J n Jl\*'\f Unto whom fucceeded Do&or George Mountain: Which & tif^^M bifhop, being no lefs zealous to promote the Work, disburfed • a considerable Sum of Money, to provide Stone from ISojtlauO to that Purpofe. But the Colleclion of Monies went fo flowly forwards, as that tho' a good Proportion of Stone was brought in by the faid Bifhop, the Profecution of the Work became wholly negle&ed ; fo that Part of the faid Stone lying ufelefs, was after borrowed by the Duke of Ti3uctunctljam for the Building of the Water-gate at^ofcOoufes and there employed for that life, as I have heard. Nor till Dottor Laud became Bifiiop of ILonUon (which An. 1628. was i n Ann. MDCXXVIII. 4. Car.) was any thing more done therein. But this Bifhop being a Perfon of great Parts, and of a moft publick Spirit, as by that noble Enlargement of S.Johns College in £>rfo?lJ, whereof he had been Prefident, and other * sway of his eminent Works and Defigns, k appeareth, highly aiming at a flourifhing Condition of the Church of (ffntfano, as it then prin nei 6 4 o. ftooc j eftabliuYd by the Laws of the Realm, moft cordially un- dertook the Promoting of this famous and neceffary Work ; and within few Years after, procured another Commiffion from King CHARLES for that Purpofe. * Pat. 7.

R e g U i at i on f all Things touching the faid Repair : And in ^car 33 ' next en ^ um Si f h e Work itfelf was begun, the Houfes ad* joining to, and near the Church, being compounded for, and pulled down, and a great Part of the Church-yard paled in for Mafons to work in ; whereby the Sermons, which ufually had been at the Crofs, were removed into the Quire, there being in ready Money then brought in (as by a Certificate appeared) the m Penh pr*- Sum of 5416 /. 1 3 s. 6 d. And on the 06th of June was m if- ^ oh#Web 'fued out soco/. of the faid Money unto Michael Grigg Efq; Pay-mafter for the faid Work. Whereupon an Order was figned the fame Day to Inigo Jones Efq; Surveyor of his Maje- fty's Works, to caufe the Inclofures and Scaffoldings to be fet in handy with Direction to begin the Repair at the South-Eaft End, and to bring it along by the South to the WeftVEnd. And foon after, viz the faid Bifhop, who made ufe of all Opportunities to advance this noble Work, laid the firft Stone at the EaftVEnd thereof : The fecond Stone being then laid by Sir Francis Windebanke Kt. one of his Majefty's Principal Secre* taries of State; the third by Sir Henry Martin, then Judge of the Prerogative Court; and the fourth by the before fpecified Inigo Jones, Surveyor General of this Work. Neither did this worthy Saint PAUL/ Cathedral 143 worthy Bifhop ceafe from the carrying it on, after he was re- * ? q n moved to the See of Canterbury, which was in ^September follow- //J^ W ing; but in all Things fliewed himfelf a pious and powerful /^Az^y^f. _1 t Furtherer thereof.

And in this noble Manner, as we havefeen, it was carried on for the Space of above nine Years, many Perfons moft pioufly tendering God's Glory therein, contributing largely to it. A- mongft which Sir PaulPinder Kt.

So that, the next Year following, (Ifaac Penington being Lord May- ox) the famous Crofs in the Church- Yard, which had been for many ■ 1 645 146 The HISTORY of many Ages the moft noted and folemn Place in this Nation, for thegraveft Divines and greateft Scholars to preach ar, was, with the reft of the Croffes about lanUon and ©Ueffmtnfter, by farther Order of the faid Parliament, pulled down to the . , Ground. 1643. ' And in March enfuing, the Houfes and Revenues belonging to the Dean and Chapter of this Cathedral, were feized on by Order likewife of the faid Parliament ; together with all Money, Goods, and Materials, bought, or given and brought into a- ny Place, for repairing or furnifhing of this Church, or ap- pertaining thereto, in whofe Hands foever : Out of the Pro- fits thereof, it being order'd, that Doctor Cornelius Burgefs (one of the Affiembly of Divines, conftituted by Authority of the fame Long Parliament) fhould receive CCCC I. per An. and the Deanry of PauCs for his Habitation : fiN which was confir- i^f* 23 ' med by an Ordinance of the faid Parliament 23 Apr. Anno MDCXLV. The Repair therefore thus ceafing, as hath been faid, fome ju g .2 9 . Part of the Materials remaining, were by Order of the Houfe of Lords, delivered to the Pa rim i one is of St. Gregorys towards the Rebuilding of that Church ; which, being old, had been pulled down, in regard it was thought to be a Blemifh to this, ftately Cathedral, whereunto it adjoined. And the before fpecify'd Scaffolds affigned to Colonel Jephfons Regiment, for 1746 /. 1 5 s. 08 d. due thereunto from the laid Parliament^ and in Arrear. Whether then, viz. at the Time that the Scaffolds were pulled down, for the Benefit of the Soldiers, it was, that the Stalls in the Quire were all taken away ; as alfo Part of the Pavement torn up, and Monuments, either utterly demoliuYd or defae'd, I cannot fay : But fure I am, that for the better Difpofal of the Timber, fo employed for Scaffolds, and other- wife, much of it was la wed up in the Church, Pits being digg'd for that Purpole, in feveral Places thereof; even where fome reverend Bifhops, and other Perfons of Quality, lay in- terred. Since which T ime, the Body of the Church was fre- quently converted to a Hor ft- quarter for Soldiers ; and Part of the Quire, with the reft of the Building Eaft-wards from it, by a new Partition Wall, made of Brick, in Anno 1 649. dik pofed of for a Preaching Place ; and the Entrance into it, at the uppermoft Window, on the North Side, Eaftwards ; where, for the Advantage of the before fpecified Doctor Burgefs (as I have heard) who had an Aftignation out of the Lands of this Church, of four hundred Pounds per An. for a Lefture ; there were Saint P A U L\r Cathedral. HI CBreviiry ' of the Anhb. of Cant, j Life puh- ^ lifh'd by Mtfter Prynne An. were weekly Sermons, unto which divers Citizens, with fome others, did ufually refort. So that, what the Lord Brooke, paffing £ by Water, upon the Thames, March 1 3. Anno MDCXL. with three other Lords, faid u concerning this famous Cathedral ; viz. That he hoped, that one of them fhould live to fee no one Stone left upon another of that Building, was like enough to have been foon after fulfilled : u For by taking away the inner Scaffolds, which fupported the arched Vaults, in order to their late intended Repair, the whole Roof of the South Crofs tumbled down; and the Reft, in fe.veral Places of the Church, did often fall. Out of a fad Contemplation, therefore, that fo glorious a Stru- dure, thus rais'd, enrich'd, and beautified by the Piety of our deceafed Anceftors, mould be utterly deftroyed, and become a woful Spectacle of Ruin ; I did adventure, though much un- worthy for fuch an Undertaking, to give fome Reprefentation, as well to the prefent Age, as future Times, of what it had been. And having done my beft Endeavour, which in Duty I conceive myfelf obliged unto,meerly as I am a Son of the Church of England (without any other Relation to this particular Ca- thedral whatfoever) to revive the Memory of its noble Foun- ders, and worthy Benefactors; I then concluded this Difcourfe with the Recital of that Prophetick Expreffion, which the Re- verend Hooker long lince made. And for fear left Covetoufnefs alone fhould linger out the Time too much, and not he able to make havock of the Houfe of God, with that** 2 '"' 7? Expedition, which the mortal Enemy thereof did vehemently wijh ; he hath by fome Enchantments jb deeply bewitched Religion itfelf, as to tnake it in the End an earneft Solicitor, and an eloquent Perfuader of Sacrilege 1 urging confidently, that the very beji Service, which Men of Power can do to Chrifi, is, without any more Ceremony, to fweep all, and to leave the Church as bare, as in the Day it was firjt born ; and that they which endowed Churches with hands, poifoned Religion, &c. In a word, that to give unto God, is Error : Reformation of Er* ror, to take from the Church, that which the Blindnefs of former A* ges did unwifely give. By thefe or the like Suggeflions (faith he) received with full Joy, and with like Sedulity pratlis'din certain Parts of the Chrijlian World, they have brought to pafs, that as David doth Jay of Man, Jo it is in Hazard to be verified concerning the whole Religion and Service of God, Pfalm xc. 10. The Time thereof may per adventure fall out to be threefcore and ten Tears ; or if Strength do Jerve unto four jcore, what foUoweth is like to be fmall Joy for them, whatfoever they be that be- hold it.

CONTINUATION OF THE HISTORY O F Saint PAULs CATHEDRAL mm N which lamentable Condition it lay for divers Years, being made a Horfe-Quarter for Soldiers during the whole Time of the late Ufurpation ; the (lately Portico, with beautiful Corinthian Pil- lars, being converted to Shops for Seamftrefles, and other Trades, with Lofts and Stairs amend- ing thereto : For the fitting whereof to that Purpofe, thofe fta'tely Pillars were (hamefulTy hewed and defaced for Support of the Timber- Work; and the Statues of King James, and King Charles the Martyr (erected on the Front thereof) defpite- fully thrown down and broke in Pieces. But fhortly after * the happy Reftoration of King Charles II. (our late gracious Sovereign) that the Bifhop, with the Dean and Chapter, came to enjoy their rightful Pofleffions, Care was not only taken to prepare fome Part of the Fabrick for the Ser- vice of God, according as it flood by Law eftablifh'd, but to proceed in that great Work of its Repair, fo carried on (as hath been obferved) before thofe woful Diftra&ions, which were occasioned by a predominant Party in that unhappy Parliament begun at SHeflmmfler the 3d of November, 164.0. In order whereto, finding the Stalls in the Quire, with the Organ-Loft, totally deftroyed; it was concluded, that, for prefent life, the Eaft Part of the Church above the old Quire, which fince the Demolifliing of Paul's Crofs had been converted to a Preaching-Place, whereunto the Lord-Mayor and Alder- men ofually reforted, 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 fevering it therefrom, ca.ufed Stalls to be placed therein, in- tending / Saint P A U L\r Cathedral 149 tending to make ufe of it accordingly, until the Repairs of the remaining Part of the old Fabrick mould be fully perfected. For the better expediting of which general Repair, the King, by his Letters Patents under the Great Seal of €nglmrt», bearing Date the 1 8th Day of April, in the 1 5th Year of his Reign (Anno fcil 1663) conftituted fundry Perfons of great An - l66 i- Honour, and others, Commiffioners ; who, making no Delay in advancing a Work fo laudable and pious, met fundry Times to confult of railing Monies to defray the Charge thereof, and Contrivance in all Things elfe relating thereto : Whereupon large Sums being brought in by a free Benevolence from the King himfelf, feveral of the Nobility, Bifhops, and many o- ther good People (as by a Catalogue of their Names and par^ ticular Gifts fhall be truly manifefted) the Work was begun upon the firft Day of Augufi the fame Year (fcil. Anno 1663.) In which much Time and Coft was fpent, in taking down thofe Houfes (that had been built during the Dominion of the late Ufurpers) at the Weft End and Sides thereof ; as alfo in fearching the Decays, and in Provifion of Stone from pa?tlan& and l&zzttj likewife in Cranes, Wharfage, and Carriage by Water and Land ; in clearing the Rubbifh ; fitting up Cellars for Deal and other Timber ; for Scaffolds, Ladders, Baskets, Shovels, Wheel-barrows, Ropes, and other Utenfils : Alfo in Pales and Paling; in Lime, Sand, Plaifter, Iron, and Iron- work of fundry Sorts ; in Workmanfhip of Mafons, Sawyers, Carpenters ; as alfo for Lead and Plumbers Work. So that from the faid firft Day of Augufi 1663, until the dreadful Fire of the City, which began on the third of September, 1666, the Expences in thofe Repairs, whereof much was on the Portico, amounted to the Sum of 3586 /. 5 s. 1 d.\. as by the Particu- lars here following doth fully appear ; viz.

On the third Day of which * Month it was,that the great and dreadful Fire of ionUon began in a narrow Lane amongft old rotten Buildings, near to the lower End of ^acecfjutcfrffreer, which in a (hort Time, notwithstanding all the Help that could be, confumed the greateft Part of the City ; in which not only the Parochial Churches were deftroy'd, but alfo this ancient Cathedral : The Roof whereof falling down with a mighty Force, broke through thofe Vaults, called the Vndercroft ; fo that under the Floor of our Lady Chanel (Eaftwards of the Quire) over the Roof of S. Faith's Church, a Coffin of Lead, lying there, was broke open, and in it found the Body of Ro* bert Braybroke, fome time Bifhop of lonHon, (as by the Inscription in Brafs, formerly torne from the Marble covering it, did ap- j& died Aug. pear ) having been there laid two hundred and fixty Years be- h.' 4 o 04 " (5 'fore; whofe Corps was fo dried up, the Flefh, Sinews, and Skin cleaving faft to the Bones, that, being fet upon the Feet, it flood as ftiff as a Plank, the Skin being tough like Leather, and riot at all inclin'd to Putrefaction, which fome attributed to the San&ity of the Perfon, offering much Money for it. The like I then faw of two other Bodies fo dried, which lay in Coffins of Lead over the Vault, in the North Ifle of the Body of this Church; the Coffins being alfo broke open, and the Arches of that Vault fhatter'd. But herein was nothing fupernatural ; for that which caufed the Flefh, Skin, and Sinews to become thus hard and tough, was the Drinefs and Heat of the Duft wherein thofe Bodies lay, which was for the moft part of Rubbifh Lime, mix'd with a Sandy Earth.

Some there are, who confidently affirm, that it was fet on fire by the Papifts, in or- der to an Infurredtion, and confequently to fubvert the Go- vernment, as was that Defign of the Gunpowder Confpirators in An. 1605 (3 Jac.) Of thefe I find Captain Bedlo one, who faith a that lOftUon vfas burnt by Romifh Fire-Balls, which they were wont & Bediov to call CetXtegbUCJ? Mu ft ard- Balls, thrown by Popijh Hands. Others Ss'p^firtt. fuppofe it to have been a Judgment of God Almighty upon tliis^' 46l< great City, for its rebellious A&ings againft the late King Charles the Martyr, and tamely permitting his open and ftiameful Mur- der before the Gates of his own Royal Palace : To counte- nance which Opinion, they vouch that Prophetick Expreffion b bcv« 2 . of Michael Notredamus, (an expert Aftrologian, and Phyfician tb^^*5 r « tt . Henry II. King of JFrance) publifli'd above an hundred Years ni. i». 1556. before ; whofe Words do not only import as much, but point out the very Year when it fhould be fo burnt, which I have here tranfcribed.

Whereunto the extraordinary Drynefs of the Seafon, as a Pre : parative, and the Wind ftrangely turning feveral Ways at that time, did not a little contribute, as is very well known. Others, that it was done by Defign of the Fanaticks, in or- der of getting the Power of the Sword into their own cruel Hands again : For Teftimony whereof they fay, c u That at c London Gtt- the Seffions in the SDlo-TBaUp, John Ratbbone, an old Army- ITIm"!

The better to effect which Hellifh Deflgn, the City was to have been fired, and the Portcullices let down to keep out all Affiftance, the Horfe-Guards to have been furprized in the Inns where they were quartered, feve- ral Oftlers having been gained to that Purpofe : That the Tower alfo was accordingly viewed, and its Surprize or- dered by Boats over the Mote ; and from thence to fcale the Wall. And, that one Alexander (who was not then taken) had diftributed Sums of Money to thofe Confpirators. More^ over, that for carrying on of the Deflgn more effectually, they were told of a Council of the great Ones that fate fre- quently in Idntion, from whom iflued all Orders ; which Council received their Direction from another in Holland^ who fate with the States ; and that the third of September was pitched on for the Attempt, as being found by Lilly V Almanack, and a Scheme ere&ed for that Purpofe, to be a lucky Day, a Planet then ruling, which prognofticated the Downfall of Monarchy. The Evidence againft which Perfons was very full and clear, and they accordingly found guilty of High Treafon. Thus far the Gazette. d obedient But the profound Mr. Baxter d tells us, That this Fire of ionUort rTc? Baxter, voas a Judgment of God for cafting out the faithful Paftors about four p ' 25 4 ' Tears before; putting it upon the Sin of the Corporation Atl, that is for ejecting thofe Minifters to five Miles diftance, which had preach'd feditioufly in Corporations. I will not take upon me to cenfure either Papifi or Fanatick to have had any hand therein, rather fuppefing it to have been an immediate and flgnal Judgment of God for the great Sins of the Nation, efpecially of this Capital City ; having heard from Perfons of Credit, that fome of the Family where the Fire began (it being a Baker's Houfe) have acknowledg'd that they did believe it to have been from a decayed Oven then heated, in which were fome Cracks and Flaws, that might rationally occafion it : But (hall obferve, that the Ceaflng thereof was no lefs ftrange than the Rage of it whilft it continued, as appears from the Infcription engraven upon that fair Pillar in Memory thereof ; which was begun in An. 1 67 1, Sir Richard Forde then being Lord-Mayor, and finifhed in An. 1 677, in the Mayoralty Sir Thomas Davies : The Words are thefe ; Tertio die, cum jam plene euicerat, humana Concilia, Jubfidia omnia ; Ccelitus, ut par eft credere, )u(jus, ftetit fatalis ignis^ & quaquaverfum elangitit, i. e. Upon the third Day, when Saint P A U Us Cathedral. when this fatal Fire had manifeftly triumphed over all that the Wit or Art of Man could do to oppofe it ; it flopped and abated every where, by a Command from Heaven itfelf, that it fhould go no farther. Having made this large (though I hope not impertinent) Di- greffion, I fhall go on where I Jeft. The firft Thing defigned after this deplorable fire, was to fit fome 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 accomplinVd : To which end, upon a judicious View thereof, it was refolv'd, that Part of the Body of it, towards the Weft End, might, with the leaft Charge, be made ufeful for that Purpofe. Where- upon Workmen were fet upon it, and Scaffolds raifed for Search of the Walls, and cutting the Remainder of the un- melted Lead from the high Roof, and other Parts of the Church. In which Employment, as alfo in digging up the melted Lead, clearing the Rubbifh, taking down the Remainder of the vaulted Roof, and Walls, with the greater!: Part of the Tower-Steeple, digging up the Floors, fbrting the Stone, and carrying it to feveral Places, repairing the Convocation-Houfe, and building .new Offices for the Work; no lefs than two Years .(viz. the reft of the Year 1666, the whole Year of 1667, and Part of the Year 1668) were fpent. Towards the latter End of which two Years, they fell to caring fome of thofe great and marly Pillars, which ftood betwixt the Middle Me, and the Side Ifles; beginning with thofe below the little North Door, towards the Weft: But before the third Pillar was per- fectly cafed, (fo weak and unfound had the exceflive Heat of the Fire left it, with the remaining Pillars and Walls, which were all miferably fcaled with the Flame and fhatter'd ; that) upon farther Search into them, they were found to be altoge- ther uncapable of any fubftantial Repair : It was therefore fully concluded, that, in order to a new Fabrick, the Founda- tions of the old Cathedral, thus made ruinous, fhould be to- tally cleared ; and Preparation of Materials and all Things needful made ready, conducing to a new Fabrick. Which Work continu'd until the laft of April, 1674.. An Accompt of the Expences wherein, and of all that was disburfed fince the Fire, till that Time, I have here added ; viz.

De 32 Appendix inW IS T. ~De Canonicis in general^ & unde frimum nomen Refidentis. * sc.VerBuU f^Anonici in Ecclefia S. Panli fub domino Decano, antiquo infti- Um Luaiter.^j tuto * triginta funt numero $ qui quondam in principio regularem SST^*" "duxerunt vitam, uti nomen Canonici declarat, quod eft di&u Regnlaris : & in Ecclefia omnes perpetuo refiderunt, in obedientia, caftitate, chari- tate, oratione, jejunio, le&ione, & contemplatione : Aliqui eorum Sa- cerdotes, aliqui Diaconi, aliqui Subdiaconi femper exiftentes. Eorum etiam olim fuum quifq$ habuit Vicarium, hominem in facris ordinibus conftitutum. Canonici in Choro, die no&uq$ jugiter pfallebant. In Al- tare Dei Sacerdotes viciffim miniftrabant, cotidie eis Canonicis, diaconis & fubdiaconis infervientibus ; communi confilio omnia Ecclefia; negotia tra&arunt, & fecundum divi Angujiim regulam, facultatibus in commune collatis, communiter vixerunt, invi&u eorum facia neceffaria rerum jufta diftributione. Sed, proh dolor, ut omnia alia bene inftituta, ita hoc quoq; paulatim fucceflione temporum, in alium ftatum plane infcelicem devenir : nam Canonici cceperunt magis amare mundum quam Deum, & curfum feculi fequi quam cceli ; atq^ alius poft alium ccepit fenfim & paulatim abire in fcculum 5 abefle fua? Ecclefia?, & aliis locis degere 5 tenentes tantum no- men &: titulum Canonici. Hii primum vocati fuerunt Regulares ; tunc tandem Secul ares Canonici cceperunt voeitari, quo nomine adhuc dehoneftantur, qua abeundi & ab- effendi licentia Ecclefia prope deftituta eft. Qui reliqui fuerunt Canonici pauculi, ne omnia mifere pereant, nova fe profeffione, atq,- novo jusjiz- rando, ut in Ecclefia perpetuo refideant, aftrinxerunt, facile contend - nec alii quo velint abeant abfuntq-, etiam cum titulo nominis fui & aliqua Prsebenda eis pro qualitate perfona? affignata, dummodo finant reliquos qui denuo fe in Ecclefia ex veteri more manere profeffi fuerint, agere 3c traftare omnia, qua? ad honorem divini cultus & Ecclefia? utilitatera vi- deantur pertinere. Itaq$ in cathedralibus Ecclefiis nomen Refidentis ccepit inolere, quod eft nomen novae profefiionis, nova?q$ promiifa? obfervantia?. Hii revera" Ecclefia, vera & ftabilita membra cenfeantur: Hii funt, quos Decanus debet vere fuos fratres numerare, qui volunt & profitentur fe cum illo continuo manere in Ecclefia, fk Deo inceffanter ck SanUo Panto infervire. In eorum manibus tota Ecclefia eft pofita, ut in gratia Dei, earn regant & gubernent. Quod quidem videntur facile conceffifie ifti quos voto ab- euntes Canonici, acquafi jus & interefie fuum, faltem quatcnus ad Eccle- fia? Regimen fpe&at renunciaffe, dummodo liceat eis cum fua portione ab- ire, & ubi locorum voluerint, libere permanere. Hii Refidentes in principio fan&e & religiose vixerunt, uti in amitate & hominum turba fan&e 8c religiose vivere poteft : & tales in cathedra- libus Ecclefiis Refidentes fuerunt habiti, quales modo apud rtiigiofos ob- fervantes ^ nam reformationem & obfervationem .regularis virai profeffi funt. Sed iterum exclamo, prohfcclus; hii quoq^ vocati Refidentes, mo- do, 8cregula,& difctplina, apoftatarunt, & a fanfra ilia Ecclefia frica .Vi- vendi forma, quae prifca fub patribus Epifcopis fuit, longe recefforurJt ; & tarn funt nunc ufquequaq; & in vita & in religione deformati, ut non minus quam quondam Canonici^ jam Refidentes ipfi reformatione egeant: Deferunt enim Ecclefias in quibus permanentiam profeffi' font, va games folutius, & errant; divinum cultum relinquunt ; Curam Ecclefia? abji- ciunt ; propria lucra fcdantur^ communia bona in privatos ufus vertunt : Nec Ecclefice Cath.

Nec afiud eft in hac infoelicitate 8c confufione temporum in Ecclefia cathe- drali refidere, quam propriumcommodum qua;rere ; ac ut planius loquar, fpoliare Ecclefiam, 8c fe ditiores facere ^ O fcelus nefandum !

Itaq^ in hac noftra Eccle fia S. Pauli, partim Epifcopi, partim Decani, in Vi- fitationibus fuis, quid Re(edentes faciant, & quam RefidentU regulam ob- fervent, definierunt. Quod totum nos Johannes Collet Decanus, ut ex- cerpfimus ex libro Statutorum, poftea trademus. Sed primus qua; de ma- joribus Canonicis in generali, ut in veteribus Statutis Ecclefia? invenimus, dicamus. De Canonicis Ecclejide S. Fault in generali. CAnontcus ab Epifcopo nominatus, affert literas Epifcopi ad Decanum 8c Capitulum Pra?benda? collatitias : Scriba legit 5 Decanus exquirit ftatim fi nullum reperiatur indu&um habitu Canonico : turn Decanus ad- mittit, dicens \ Nos admit timus te in Canonicum d*» fratrem, & tradimus tibi regularis obfervantis formam % in hoc volnmine content am, pro cibo tue Spi- ritual? : Item tradimus tibi ijlum panem, in refe&ionem titi corporalem. Panis autem per Elemofynarium pauperi traditur. Canonicus ille, fi non fit iniciatus facris, admoneatur, ut quam primum ad facros ordines accedat. Tunc Decanus affignet pro fratribus unum qui Canonicum in fuum ftallum inducet, dicens, Dominus cuftodiat introi- tum tuum, & exitum tuum ex hoc nunc & ufq; in feculum. Canonicus proftratus in genu, Dominicam orationem dicat. Turn qui inftallaverit, addat, Et ne nos inducas in tempt ationem, Salvum fac fervum tuum^ Mitte ei Domine auxilium de Santto', Nihil proficiat inimicus in eo 5 efio ei do mine turris fortitudinis 5 Domine ex audi orationem meam ; Dominus Vobifcum^ Oremus. Dens omnium bonorum principium & finis, virtutum dator^ & meritorum benignijjime pr£miator, obfecramus immenfam tu£ largitatis habundantiam, ut per preces & merit a Do&oris gentium Pauli, patroni noflri, tribuas huic famulo tuo N. quern nojiro dignatus es afcribere collegio, tibi tarn pie jugi- terfamulari^ ficq^ in hac Domo tua per veram charitatem cum fratribus con- verfari, ut poji decurfum pr£, aut S- Job. Baptifa, aut S. Mich. Archangeli. Videatur qui refidentiam inchoat, is fanus fit corpore, & incolumis ad cotidianos in Choro labores perferendos. Si poft inchoationem refiden- tia? a?grotaverit, cum mifericordia foveatur. In primis Reddens in Ecclefia S. Pauli nulla alia Ecclefia quacunq^ refi- deat ullo modo j id enim faciens, ftatim Ecclefia? S. Pauli non refidens cenfeatur, 8c privetur omni fru&u 8c emolumento refidentis. Item alibi Refidens, fi quos perceperit ex Ecclefia Pauli fru&us, eos omnes cogatur rcftituere 3 nihil enim tarn deteftabile eft, nec apud Deum, nec apud ho- mines Appendix in HIST. mines tarn abhominabile, nec certe Ecclefia? tarn peftiferum ac pernicio- fum, quam profeffum aliquem in hac Ecclefia, ad rxefidentiam, eundem alia in Ecclefia quacunq^ refidere. - Nullus proteftationem faciet in Ecclefia j donee plene Sc dare exonere- tur sere alieno. Refidens autem in domo aliqua, Ecclefia? vicina, maneat, 8c continu.6 refideat ; quo commodius 8c ad Ecclefiam accedere, 8c item a Decano ad Capitula 8c confilia pro rebus & negotiis Ecclefia?, poffit accerfiri. Quid fit Refidens in Ecclefia S. Vault. REfidere autem in Ecclefia S. Vault proprie eft, pro viribus 8c faculta- tibus in domo vicina Ecclefise, laudabilem 8c honeftam familiam tenere, fervos habere bene moratos $ Canonicis horis, turn diurnis turn no&urnis interefle. In principalibus feftis, 8c diebus folempnioribus om- nibus, omnino horis adeffe; aliis autem diebus, 8c minimum, uni harum quatuor borarum, viz. aut Vcfperis 8c Completorio a principio ufq$ ad fi- nem ; aut Matutinis a principio ufq; ad finem ; aut Prima: a principio ufqj ad altam Miriam ; aut alts MhTa? a principio ufq$ ad finem. Item Capi- tulum in quibus res Ecclefia? publica tra&atur, Temper adelTe, 8c praefentes efie, Publica onera, officia, & labores, pro communi Ecclefia? militate fubire : In otio dare operam ftudiis fapientiam quaerere, 8c fratres, ac Ec- clefise clericos verbo Dei pafcere : Admonere inferiores cum omni difcre- tionc 8c pietate.

Hoec fi fecerit, cenfeatur tunc rite 8c legitime refidere, Sc dignum difkibutionibus 8c aliis Ecclefia? fru&ibus 8c emoluments ; alio- quin re vera inter Rejidentibus nequaquam numeretur.

H E N by the Tranfgreffion of Adam all his Pofterity became fubject to the Divine Ven- geance, it pleafed Almighty God, out of his infinite Compaffion, in the Fulnefs of Time, to fend the promifed Mejfiah into the W orld, for the Redemption of Mankind from that mi- ferable Curfe, which by his Juftice could not be avoided : Who, being born of a pure Virgin, by his mo ft holy Life, divine Inftructions, and wondrous Miracles, apparently ma- nifefted himfelf to be Jefus the Chrift, the only Son of God. But the Jews, who waited for the fo promifed Mejfmh, ex- pecting that he fhould come in great Glory, as a Temporal King, would not believe that this was He, though, by his coming in that low Condition, the Predictions of the holy Prophets were exactly fulfilled ; and therefore perfecuted him, and at length put him to Death upon the Crofs ; a Punifhment by them inflicted upon the greater!: Malefactors. But this blefifed Jefus, railing himfelf to Life the third Day, triumph'd over Death ; and appearing to his Difciples, breathed his holy Spirit upon them, giving them Commiflion to go forth and teach all Nations what they had feen and heard ; to the end that all fuch as mould ftedfaftly believe in him, might through his Merits attain to eternal Life ; and fhortly after afcended into Heaven. Thefe his Difciples therefore, according to that his Divine Precept, went out into 3I«tien, and there preached to the People the Doctrine of eternal Life. But inftead of fuch Entertain- ment as thofe glad Tidings did deferve, they were requited with great Perfecution, and fome of them killed : Whereupon the reft difperfing themfelves, went to the Gentiles, who being meer Heathens, worfhipped falfe Gods : Neverthelefs, by rea- 4 The HISTORY of fon of their moft holy Converfation, auftere Way of Living, and Miracles, which through the Power of Almighty God they wrought, they were received by them with much Refpeft, and converted Multitudes to the true Faith. Baronii An. Amongft thefe (as from the Current of our Hiftorians, and mnci%'i other Authorities we have it) Jofeph of Arimathea, who buried ss- the Body of our Saviour, being driven out of tyferttralem upon the Martyrdom of S. Stephen, was carried to the Sea-fide, and put into a Ship without Stern or Tackle (together with Lazarus, Mary Magdalen, and others) and turn 'd loofe into the Sea ; whence, being protected by the Goodnefs of God, they were driven to ^atfettieS in JFrance: After which he failed into Attain, and there ended his Life. The Occafion of his Journey hither being this : I7hf/u When Phfy the Apoftle, preaching Chrift in ifrancr, had Godwyn,;. 9 . muc h t0 do with the Druides (who had their Beginning and chief Doctors in *B#tam) underftanding that this Ifland was feparated from iTrance, but by a fmall Cut of a few Hours fail, he fent over hither twelve Perfons, the Chief of which was ib. p. it. this Jofeph of Arimathea; who, arriving here in the fixty third Year after our Saviour's Incarnation (and about xxx after his Paflion) did their bed Endeavour for converting the Britans to the Chriftian Faith. ib.p. 9 . Thefe, by the Favour of him who then ruled in thofe Parts, feating themfelves in an Ifland compafled with Lakes, called 3Mon (now ^laffenbtttp) in Somerfet/hire, found Means to build a Chappel there, wherein Jofeph himfelf was afterwards buried, it being the firft Oratory erected in this Kingdom for the Service of God. To the Honour of which holy Man, King Ina, about the Year of Chrift DCCIIH. did there erect a famous Monaftery, dedicating it to his Memory. That from the Seeds of this Divine Do&rine did grow up many devout Chriftians in this Realm, is evident enough from our moft ancient Hiftoriographers, though not a little opprefs'd by the Romans (unto whom this Ifland, with the greateft Part of the World, was then fubjeft ;) efpecially by the Emperor DiocleJIan, about the Year of Chrift CCXC. ib.p.^. As to the Government of the Britijh Church here, though little Mention thereof is made by our Writers, no queftion but that it was by Bifhops ; for plain it is, that Reflitutus, a Britijh Bifhop, was in the Council of Arks in Anno CCCXXV. But of fuch Bifhops 'tis thought there were but few here, till the Coming over of Germanus and Lupus to fupprefs the Pela- gian Herefy, (being hither fent to that Purpofe from the Pre- lates of jfrance) who happily rooting out that dangerous In- fection, the Cathedral at Y O R K. £ fection, confecrated Bifliops in many Places of this Ifland about the Year of Chrift CCCC. But, after that, the Pagan Saxons being called in by the op-/*.?. *?« prefled Brltans to affift them againft the Pi&s (the Romans hav- ing drawn out hence the Flower of their Youth and ableft Men for their Service nearer Home) did not only enflave them by their Strength and Powdr, but drove the Chief of them into the Mountarious Parts of the Land, ifiz. CSIaleg and CojnUmll, overspreading all the other with Paganifm and Idolatry : Un- der which being captivated, they fo remained, till Gregory, then Bifhop of Rome, lihderftanding that the Inhabitants here were 3 9* Pagans, fent Augufiin the Monk about the Year DXCVII. to con* vert them ; who being accompanied by forty others, as his Af- firmants in that good Work, failed hither, and had fuch fair Reception from Etbelbert the fifth King of &ent, of the Saxon a. p. 40. Race, (whole Dominions extended to the Banks of the River dumber) that being permitted to preach unto the People, they had great Succefs therein. After which, Augufiin going into jf ranee, was there confecrated Bifhop by Etberius, Archbifliop/^.41; of 8rlej3 5 and called Epifcopus Anghrum. # The Chriftian Religion being thus begun to be planted in 7 ^ ^ the Eaftern Parts of this Ifland, in Tract of Time it became dilated farther : For in the Year DCXXV. Paulinus (a devout and holy Man) began to preach to thofe in the North, as Wilfride did in the South, and Foelix in Norfolk, and thofe ad- jacent Countries. Upon the Return therefore of Augufiin out'*- of jfrance, Gregory having Notice of his good Succefs here, fent him an Archiepifcopal Pall. This Paulinus, as Beda * reporteth, * *j£ d ^ was a very tall Man, and fomewhat ftooping; black hair'd, XVc^. having a lean Face, hook'd Nofe, but of a grave and venerable i6t ' Countenance. But, to come nearer to my intended Bufinefs, which is touching the See of ^o?fe, I mean the Foundation and Endow- ment of that famous Cathedral, and the Collegiate Churches in that Diocefe ; I (hall firft begin with the Church of ^o#, as to its Endowment with Lands and Tythes ; and afterwards take Notice of its Structure, and of fuch other Buildings as did belong thereto. As to the Lands and Tythes wherewith it was moft antiently endowed, I cannot difcern that there is any exact Memorial thereof. Of what occurrs in the prefent Regifters belonging thereto, or other good Authorities, I fhall not fail to mention ; but of what the Canons of that Church were ever otherwife pof- fefs'd, whereof our publick Records make no Mention, I muft B b b b leave 6 The HISTORY of leave to the Relation of thofe who (hall by diligent Searches hereafter difcover the fame. mom^Anih Of what the Regifters do take Notice, I find, that in the l°!&/.\\l 9 ' Year from our Saviour's Incarnation DCCCCXXX King Atkelftan ** gave thereunto a large Part of that Territory in Lancajhire^ called 8gmim3ernefFe (which he bought of the Danes^ zsGodwyri faith) the Boundary yv hereof is thus fet forth, tiz< From the Mouth of the River Cocttr, all along to the, Head thereof ; and thence overthwart the Country to a Spring called Dulefijope ; and fo following that Rivulet into the Brook named Cornier * fo down along that Stream of Conner, till it falleth into the River EUbble; and thence along the middle of that Stream called ftibblp, till it iffueth into the Sea, which feemeth to be near a fourth Part of Lancafhin. ib.p.i2 9 . a . The next is of Eadwi^ Nephew of the fame King Athelfian (viz. Son to King Eadmund his Brother) who in the Year DCCCCLVIH. gave thereunto twenty Manfion-Houfes in ^utfr tuell ( in Com. Nott.) with all the Lands and Goods thereto be- longing, which I prefume did contain all that great Lordftiip. To whom fucceeded Eadgar^ his Brother ; who in the Year ib. 12%. 4. DCCCCLXIII. gave twenty Manfion-Houfes at ^tcebutne in York* Jbire, with the Lands and Woods thereto belonging; which I alfo fuppofe contained that whole Lordfhip. ib. i 3 o. a. After this, Cnut (the Dane) being King by Conqueft here, gave thereunto forty three Manfion-Houfes in jpatnngtone, in York/hire^ with all the Lands thereto belonging; which 'tis like contained that whole Lordfhip, Alfric being then Arch- bifhop. camd. Brit. About this Time alfo Vlphe, the Son of Tborald, (who ruled in the Weft of Ddra) by realbn of the Difference which was like to rife between his Sons, about the fharing of his Lands and Lordfhips after his Death, refolv'd to make them all alike ; and thereupon coming to ^oik with that Horn wherewith he was ufed to drink, filled it with Wine, and before the Altar of God, and S. Peter, Prince of the Apoftles, kneeling devoutly, drank the Wine, and by that Ceremony enfeoffed this Church with all his Lands and Revenues : The Figure of which Horn (in Memory thereof) is cut in Stone upon feveral Parts of the Choir ; but the Horn itfelf, when the Reformation in King Edward Vl's Time began, and fwept away many coftly Orna- ments belonging to this Church, was fold to a Goldfmith, who took away from it thofe Tippings of Gold wherewith it was adorned, and the Gold Chain afhVd thereto. Since which, the Horn itfelf f being cut in Ivory in an eight Square Form) came to 3 the Cathedral ^ YORK. 7 to the Hands of Thomas late Lord Fairfax, in whofe Poffeffion I faw it in the Year 1666.

Nor was the Conqueror at all kind thereunto, being highly incenfed againft • thofe Northern Parts, for favouring the Sons of King Sweno the Dane; who by feveral Attempts in that County did much difturb his Quiet : So that by the general Survey, taken by^yrd. ^ that King in or about the Year MLXXX. the Lands belonging . to this Archbifhoprick in Torkjbire, by reafon of this great De- valuation, were found to be no more than, In f Bz\3Zt\\ & J£>eIO£l'Ue0 pertinentes xiii. bordarii habentes ix. car.

And having thus redeemed thofe Places in Lin- coln/hire, he beftowed them on Robert Bloet, then Biftiop of Lincoln, his Chancellor. md. At that Time Thomas, a Canon of 'Bayeuj; in jBcrmanUp, was Archbiihop of fofa by the Gift of King William the Conqueror ; to whom King William Rufus was fo kind, as to reftore unto him one Hide of Land, then poflefled by the Church of 0pa« tegfant?, which Aldred his Predeceflbr enjoyed in the Time of King Edward the Confeffor.

He alfo divided thofe Lands into Prebends, allotting a particular Proportion to every Canon ; whereas before they lived together upon the common Charge of the Church at one Table, and appointed a Dean, a Treasurer, and a Chanter, having founded the Office of Chancellor before. To King William Rufus, fucceeded his Brother King Henry \™™$ r \ Angh who beftowed upon this Church of S.

He likewife, to- gether with Maui his Queen, gave the Church of EeWtad as a Prebend thereto. He alfo gave thereunto the Churches of jftal* lop, with the Chappel of ^ace ; ep, and Church of SBtc&tan. Soon after this, another Thomas (Nephew to the former God w. ^ 79 . Thomas, and Chaplain to King Henry I.) being Archbiflhop, erected two new Prebends in this Church. To King Henry I. fucceeded King Stephen, who gave tbsre^Mmfi.

And farther, to manifeft what large PofTeflions did anciently belong to this Church, Pope Innocent III. (in the Time of King Henry III.) reciting thofe Particulars, did ratify and confirm the fame thereto ; viz. the Mannours of faatiton, CLaiittuanff, Tdut< ton, patrinittcm, ©fjttebp, Wgetiott, TSmtlzy, Etppcm, Jpertuoeujam, SDttelep, mytmim, ©ofoelle (id eft ©utfttucll) Lammt, Sutton, Sercbp, Crjiccljention, ©ttm&tion, jDjotjeUanfferfoaft, Eingebp, Cutlmgtotr, and Staliburc, with their Appurtenances : As alfo the Churches of S. John of QBetotlep, S. Wilfrid of ftippon, S. Andrew of tytxtmt* fljam (now called pram ) S. Mary of g>ut&tJ)eII, and S. Ofwald of 74.^75. (the two Metropolitans of CiiGlanii) were not only in Au- thority, Dignity, and Office, but in Number of Suffragan Bifhops, equal : At the Coming in of King William the Conqueror, they of Canterbury inform'd him, that f 0$ ought to be fubjecl: to €antetburv ; alledging it to be moft for the Safety of the King, that one mould be Principal, and the other obedient thereto : For that otherwife, one might fet the Crown on one Man's Head, and the other do as much for fomebody elfe. Hereupon Thomas, then Archbifhop of |0o$, appealed to Eome, but without Succefs; for the Pope referring the Decifion of the Difference to the King, and the Bifhops of CnglanU, they forced Thomas to yield. ^}fr'/f AU ^ Ut an °t n er Thomas, who fucceeded' in this See in the Time H2.z>.&i44- of King Henry I. obtain'd fuch Favour from Calixtus, then Pope, /i.p.132.*. that he was freed from Subjection to Canterbury So likewife did Thmftan, his immediate Succeffor, by the Favour of Pope Innocent II. Whereupon the Cathedral ^ YORK. 1 3 Whereupon William, then King of Scotland, commanded, f^**^* that all the Bifhops of that Realm mould (as anciently they had^H7* been) be fubjecl: unto the See of f o#, as their Metropolitan ; viz. the Bilhops of the ©jcatoeg, the Bifhop of the Jfleg, the Bi- (hop of ©lafgottj, the Bifhop of CattMtia Cafa, &c. the Bifhops of Carleol and Durefme fubmitting likewife thereto. lb - * As to the Liberties and Privileges which this Metropolitical /*. 135. Church enjoyed before the Norman Conqueft, K. Henry I. did by his Royal Charter confirm them ; making this brief Recital in particular, viz. If any Perfon (hall take a Malefactor in the Church-yard, and (hall with-hold him from publick Juftice, his Forfeiture to be fix hundred Fold ; if in the Church, twelve Hundred ; if in the City of £o#, eighteen Hundred. The Penance of every Perfon enjoyn'd in the Hundred, as of ChurctvRobbers, to be 8 /. If any one fh.aH prefume to take away any Perfon from the Fridfloll (id eft, the Chair of Stone next to the Altar) no Satis- faction to fuffice for fuch an Offence. Thefe Forfeitures to be for the life of the Canons, and not for the Benefit of the Archbifhop. For any Offence done in the Church, or Church- yard, or inn. 13$. *, any of the Canon's Houfes, by whomfoever; the Forfeiture for it to be to the Canons, and not to the Archbifhop. If any Canon die, the Archbifhop, with the Confent of the Dean and Chapter, to conftitute a SuccefTor in his Prebendary. In all the Houfes and Lands of the Canons, they to have Soc, Sac, Thol, Tbeam, Into!, and Vttol, and Infangenthet ; as alfo all fuch Liberties and Privileges as the King himfelf had in his own Lands. Likewife, that no Tenant of the Lands belong- ing to the Canons fhould be liable to do Service at the Wa^en* tach, Tridingmot, and Scbirefmot, but the Plaintiff and Defendant to have Right done them at the Door of S. Peters Minfter. It being moreover ordained by the devout Kings of old, in cafe any of the Canons fhould be impleaded, that upon ringing the ' Bell at the Canonical Hour, they ought to return, it being more eafy for them to profecute the Law before the Archbiftiop's Stewards and Knights. Alfo, if any Perfon fhall give or fell Lands to this Church,/*. p. 136. that it fhould thenceforth have the like Privileges and Immu- nities, as thofe which were formerly poflefs'd by it; and that no Man fhall require Soc, Tol, and Tbeam therein. Furthermore, that when the King fhall raife an Army, only one Man to be provided out of the whole Lands belonging to the Canons, and he to carry the Banner of S. Peter : And if the Burghers go, he, with the Captain and Standard-Bearer, to go in the Front. D d d d This fhe HISTORY of This Privilege the Canons likewife to have, viz. that none of the King's Houfhold Servants, nor of his Army, to be quar- ter'd in any of their Houfes, either in the City or without. Moreover, that when any Caufe (hall be tryed in ^o|fe by Com- bat, Oath to be made upon the holy Evangelifts, or upon the Relicks of this Church : And the Combat being ended, the Vi- ctor to offer the Weapons of the Vanquifh'd to this Church, giving Thanks unto God and S. Peter for his Victory. Laftly, if any of the Canons, or their Tenants, {hill commence Suit in the King's Court ; his Caufe, by reafon of the Church's Dignity, to have Precedence before any other, as to the hearing and de- termining thereof. Having now done with its Endowment and Privileges, I defcend to that which meerly relates to the Fabrick, as to its Structure and Repairs. Godw.^58. After Faulinus the Archbifhop (of whom I have already made Mention) had for 36 Days together inftructed the People which continually repaired to him, by Preaching ; or elfe imparted Chrift unto them in Baptifm, which he miniftred in the open Fields and Rivers, there being not any Churches then built. fcMW* Edwyn, at that Time King of BojtJfjumbedann, began alfo to em* brace the Chriftian Faith ; the Circumftances and Occafion con- ducing whereunto, were as followeth. Edwyn being defirous to marry Edilburg, the Sifter of Ead* bald King of &ent, (a vertuous Lady and a Chriftian) and fhe refufing him, in regard he was a Pagan ; he profefled, that if, upon Conference with wife Men, Chriftian Religion fhould feem more holy and worthier of God than his own, he would embrace it. Whereupon fhe was fent unto him to be his Queen : But left, accompanying with Heathen People, fhe and her At- tendants might be infected with Paganifm, the Reverend Paw Units (before-mentioned) was fent with her to inftruct them, and to adminifter the Sacraments unto them ; as alfo to preach unto the Infidels. Finding the King at firft obftinate, at laft hefofar prevailed on him, as that he promifed to become Chriftian, if God would give him Victory againft Guichelm, then King of the Wefl-Saxons, who had confpired his Death : Which accordingly he obtained ; but delaying the Matter for a time, under colour of perfuading firft with his Nobles to be content therewith; Paulinus (the better to prevail,) put him in mind of a Virion which had long before appeared unto him ; viz. that whereas Elfrid, his imme- diate PredecefTor in the Kingdom of the Northumbrians, feeking nothing more than the Death of this Edwyn, unto whom the Crown 14 the Cathedral ^ YORK. I £ Crown of Right appertained ; and Edwyn, to efchew the Dan- ger, privily fled into other Countries. At laft, coming to Red- wald King of the (£aff<8n0;le0, he humbly befought him, that he would protect him from Elfrid his cruel Enemy, which Redwald promifed to do; but being afterwards offer'd a large Sum of Money .to betray him, and threatned with War if he did not, he yielded to gratify Elfrid therein. Which Defign of King Redwald being underftood by a Com- 7 *'M57. panion of Edwyn s, who call'd him out of his Bed in the Night, and acquainted him therewith ; he anfwer'd, that if Redwald fo little efteem'd of his Honour, as to betray him for Money, he would rather periih openly, than by Flight expofe himfelf to certain Deftrudtion. Whereupon his Companion leaving him very penfive, and fitting on a Stone, one came to him, and asked him why he thus fate there when others were afleep, (it being in the dead, of the Night) telling him, that he was not ignorant of the Caufe of that his Sadnefs ; but asked him what he would give to be rid of his Care, and that King Redwald would proted: him. To which he anfwer'd, that he would do any thing that lay in his Power : Whereupon, quoth the other, what if he fhould promife thee the Kingdom due unto thee, and the Overthrow of thofe that feek thy Life, and that thou (halt be the mightieft King, not only of all thy Progenitors, but of all the Saxon Kings that ever were in this Ifle ? To which he replied, that he would do his utrnoft to requite it. Why ^then, quoth he, and laid his Hand on Edwyn s Head, when all thefe Things (hall come to pafs, and that thou (halt be (hewed a more excel- lent Way to direct the Courfe of thy Life than ever was im- parted to any of thy Predeceflbrs ; remember, by this Token ot laying my Hand on thy Head, to follow without Delay the Directions which (hall be given thee ; and having faid fo, va- nished out of his Sight, to his great Aftonifhmcnt. Soon after which, he ft ill fitting there, his Companion came again to him with great Joy, and told him, that King Redwald) through the Perfuafion of the Queen, had alter'd his Purpofe : And refolving to be true to him, forthwith did raife an Army ; and marching in Perfon againft King Edilfrid, (lew him in Bat- tle. Whereupon it came to pafs, that Edwyn^ with full Con- fent of all the People, was acknowledged their King. This Virion being revealed to Taulinus, he came to Edwyn (when King) at a Time when he fate alone, deliberating what Religion it were beft for him to follow ; and laying his Hand on his Head, ask'd him if he knew that Token : Whereat Edwyn became fo furpriz'd, that prefently he fell down at the Feet 16 The HISTORY of Feet of Paulinus, and faid, He knew it very well : Thereupon promifing, that he would thenceforth follow his Dire&ion as to Matters of Religion, and was by him baptiz'd ; which fo encourag'd all the Nobility, and others, to give diligent Ear to Paulinush Preaching, that great Numbers became daily con- verted. Ictfrft Zit. In orc * er t0 which Baptifm, this King Edwyn caufed a little Church to be made of Timber and Boards in the City of and dedicated it to S. Peter ; but afterwards laid the Foundation of a larger Fabrick, encompafling the other; which he not living to carry on, his Succeftbr King Ofwald finifhed. ib.f.^ 9 . Xo Paulinus, fucceeded in this Archiepifcopal See, Cedda; lb - e > 6 '- and to him Wilfrid: Which Wilfrid did much to the compleat- ing of this Fabrick, and bellowing goodly Ornaments thereon. ib.p.tft. The next who greatly added to the State thereof, was Archbifhop Egbert (the feventh from Paulinus) who built a fa- mous Library here, which he furnifh'd with a great Number of excellent Books ; whereof honourable Mention is made by the learned Flaccus Albinus (or Alcuinus) fome time Keeper there- of, and; afterwards Tutor to Charles the Great. $72- After, him, Aldred (the 34th Archbimop) ere&ed a Hall here for the common Refectory of the Canons. ^•575. But in the next Age, Thomas^ a Canon of osapsur (by Birth a Norman) befpg then Archbimop, it happened that this City ib. 576. being aflaulted by the Danes ^ the Cathedral was with it totally deftroy'd by Frrej ;he therefore new cover'd it, and repaired it, fo as to ferve for a Time : But afterwards pulled it down to- tally, and began a new and noble Foundation, according to the Extent and Model of that which now ftandeth. The dif- perfed Canons (by reafon of the late Deftruclion by Fire) he recalled, and made reafonable Provifions for them, building a fair Hall, as alfo a Dorter (or Dormitory) appointing one to be the Provoft, or Governour of the reft ; and, for their better Support, beftow'd divers Lordfhips and Lands upon them, caufing Reftitution to be made of fuch as had been taken away, as is already obferved. Having thus newly built the Church, he furnifh'd it with Books, and all neceflary Ornaments. ib.p.^o. , pj ie ncx t Benefactor thereto was Archbimop Tburftan, in the Time of King Henry I. who afforded to the Canons this fpeciai Privilege, that the yearly Profit of their Prebends being divided into three Parts, it mould be lawful for any of them to bequeath two Parts, arifing out of the Year next after their refpedtive Deaths, allotting the third towards the Repair of the Church : Which Church, in his Time, happened (with almoft the whole the Cathedral ^YORK, 17 whole City) upon the 4th of June, Anno n 37, to be again & deftroy'd by Fire. But this Spoil by Fire fliortly after (viz. in King Henry H's Reign) was much repaired by Roger, Arch- deacon of Canter&urp, . then Archbifliop here ; who being a very provident Man, new built the Quire and Vaults under it; as alfo his own Palace (then likewife burnt to the Ground.) And in Ring Henry Ill's Time, Sewall ("who had been Dean, a-W- but) then Archbifliop, caufed the Stipend of the Priefts of $94 ° S. Sepulc he's Chappel to be augmented, and appointed them to be called Canons. He alfo erected Vicarages in fundry appro> priated Churches, which till then had been very ill ferved. After him (though not immediately) fucceeded in the Arch- biflioprick, John Rumane, who had been Chief Chanter of this Church. This Archbifliop, in the Time of King Edw. I. built the CrofsTle on the North Side towards the Palace, and a goodly Steeple in the middle of the Church, all at his own proper Cofts. He alfo built much in the Hofpital of S. Peter, and with his own Hand laid the firft Stone of the great Body of the Church on the South Side ; but lived not to bring that Work to any Perfection. After him, William de Melton, Archbifliop in King Edw. lVs Ib ' ^ Time, beftowed feven hundred .Marks in finifhing the Weft Part of the Body of it, and inclofed a Place called the Byaty, in ^0$, with a goodly Wall. Next to him fucceeded William la Touch, who in the Time of King Edw. III. began the Foun- /5 -M oc>! dation of a Chappel on the South Side thereof, intending to be buried therein ; but died before it was perfected. Unto this Fabrick of this Cathedral alfo, the Nobility and Gentry of thefe Parts were not a little contributory, as may feem by the Sculptures in Stone of their Arms on both Sides of the great Middle-lie, and depicted alfo in the Windows ; the chief whereof were the Lords Scrope, Nevill, Fitz-Hugh, Moubray, * Robert de Percie, then Lord of Bolton, and Robert le Vavafour of* J* ^'ft- Hajelwode: Which two laft gave the Timber and Stone for that penes D. &> noble Work; in Memory whereof, their Statues placed i n c ^- Ebor - Niches at the Eaft and Weft End, on the Out-fide of the Min- fter ; that of Percie holding a Piece of Timber in the Arms, Momfi.Angi and Vavafour a Stone, do remain to this Day. ^JlTt p ' The next Benefactor of Note was John Thursby, who had been Bifliop, firft of S. Davids, and afterwards of Worcefier. This Archbifliop, in the 10th Year after his Tranflation (viz. 27 Edw. III.) began to build the Choir new, laying the firft Stone himfelf, and giving 500 /. at prefent towards the Work ; as alfo 200 /. per Ann. till it fliould be finiflied. He likewife be- flowed great Coft upon the Lady Chappel, beautifying it with E e e e Images 18 /fcHISTORYo/ Images and Pi&ures of excellent Workmanftiip, in the midft whereof he lieth buried. ib. p. 602. After him, Thomas Arundell, Bifhop of dp, was tranflated hither in the Time of King Richard III. This Archbifhop be* flowed much in Building upon divers of his Houfes, and unto pcJTdT& tms Church gave many rich Ornaments ; viz. one Veft of Cloth cap. Eboi. of Gold, fix Copes of white Velvet, four great Silver Bafons, two of which were gilt ; two large Silver Cenfers gilt, two Cruets of Silver, a Paftoral Staff of Silver gilt, and a Pontifical Ring fet with feveral precious Stones ; to the Vicars a large Silver Cup, and to the Canons a Bowl of Silver of good Value. ib. p. 664. About this Time the great Tower Steeple, now ftanding, DMeiin. an d called the Lantern, was built at the Coft, for f the moft Bodi m - m ' P art ' °^ W a h er Skyrlaw, Bifhop of Durham ; whereupon his coi.cantuar. Arms were cut on each Square on the inner Side thereof in t 53 ' 7 ' 147 ' large Efcutcheons. Domefday In Anno 1 4^5> or thereabouts, Thomas Dalbyn, Archdeacon c^Ebor.of Ricbmund, at his own Charge, added five Super-numeraries to ,28, the feven Chorifters, which were formerly placed in the Choir of this Church, and e&ablifh'd a yearly Rent of 7 /. n s. 8 d. upon them, by his laft Will and Teframent, for Cloth and Diet ; ordering, that from Time to Time they (hould be chofen by the Dean and Chapter for the Time being. In the Time of William Boothe Archbifhop, Anno fcil 1464^ much Hurt was again done by Fire to this Cathedral ; but by the Care of him and his Succeflbrs foon after repaired. He bequeathed alfo a rich Mitre thereto : Another rich Mitre was likewife given by George Nevil, Archbifhop of f o?fe ; alfo feveral Copes and Vefts of good Value, with the NemlW Crofs em- broider'd upon them. ibid. To him fucceeded Laurence Boothe, who purchafed the Man- nour of 'Bnttetfea, near Lontwn, and built a fair Houfe thereon^ which he annexed to this Church of ^oih And to him, Tho* mas Rotheram, who beftowed thereon another rich Mitre. Tfifra A voi' ^ S t0 tne Chapter-Houfe, (fituate on the North Side of this 5. p. i37> Cathedral) which for Curiofity of Work, both in Stone and Glafs, is fcarce to be equalf d ; it feems by the Form of the Windows to have been built about the latter End of King Henry Ill's Reign. ibid. Q n tne ]sj or th Side alfo of this Church there is a beautiful Chappel, dedicated to the blefTed Virgin and the holy Angels, which was built by Archbifhop Roger, in King Henry If s Time, for 1 3 Clerks of divers Orders, to fing Mattens daily according to the Form of Service ufed in the Cathedral ; whereof four were to be Friefls, four Deacons, four $ub*Deacons, and one Sa~ crifi the Cathedral ^ YORK crift, and all at the Direction of the Archbifhop; for whofe Support he endowed the faid Chappel with the Moiety of the Church of ©ttolep, as alfo with the Churches of Cfjertoii, ^aptatr, •BetDefep and button, with the Chappel of %ctcbv : Whereunto alfo there were other Benefactors; wz. William ae Scoty, who &ave the Church of Cafiierlep; William Paynell, the Church of Ddtojt, Aviciq de RumiUy, the Church of ^artuoDej and Adam de Bruce, with Ivetta his Wife, theQiurchof C&o?pe: Appointing, that the Sacrift fhould, at his proper Cofts, every Maunday- Thurfday make Provifion in all fuch Things as belong to the Ca nons of the Cathedral, as well in little Vails, Wine, Beer and Veflels, as Water to wafh the Feet of the faid Canons, and poor Clerks. Alfo for the life of the Poor, i o s. and for their Diet, (viz. Lz. of them) all Things neceflary. Being thus left to the Direction of the Archbifhop, his Sue- ceflbr Sewall, in the Year 1258, at the fpecial Inftance of Gilbert de Tive, at that Time Sacrift of this Chappel,did ordain, that thence* forth, for ever, twelve of the Canons of this Cathedral, as alfo the twelve Prebends belonging to thenv and all other Things which had been by his PredecefTors eftabliftVd in this Chappel, mould for ever ^fter be obferved : Adding, that each Canon of this Chappel refiding in the City, mould every Day or Night re- ceive at the Hands of the Sacrift at Mattens a Penny, < at the High Mafs another, and at Vefpers a third, in cafe he werepre- fent, over and above the Profits of his Prebend. ■Moreover, that in the faid Chappel, befides the faid twelve Canons, there (hould be' two Prieft$ i two Deacons, and two Sub Deacons, at all Canonical Hours ; and at High Mafs, being daily prefent with the other Canons and Minifters, (hould every Day fay Placebo and Dirige, with the other Services for the Dead. And though other of the Canons and Officers fhould be abfent at this Ser- vice, the faid two Priefts, with the Deacons and Sub'deacons, fhould neceffarily be obliged to be there; far which Service, each of the two Priefts to receive yearly at the Hands of the Sacrift five Marks, every of the Deacons three Marks, and each of the Sub-deacons two Marks and an half : And in cafe of Ab- fence at High Mafs, or at the Office for the Dead. ; or if prefent, that any of them mould mif-behave himfelf; to each Prieft fo delinquent, one Penny to be abated, and to each Deacon and Sub-deacon an Half-penny : Giving Power to the Sacrift, in cafe of Incontinency, Infidelity, or Infolence, committed by any of thofe Priefts, Deacons^ or Sub-deacons, to remove them with- out more ado. Farther alfo ordaining, that thofe Canons, having Prieftly Prebends in this Chappel, fhould by Turns weekly celebrate the The HISTORY < the Morning Mafs, and High Mafs, at the Altar in the Cathe> dral, according to the Appointment of ; the Chanter, upon No- tice thereof the preceding Day ; for which Service, to receive every Day (performing the fame) Two-pence at the Hands of the \Sacrift. The Deacon alfo and Sub-deacon miniftririg to the Canons of this Chappel at the faid High Mafs, with the Priefts and Canons, tb receive Two-pence apiece over and above the Benefit of their Prebendaries, befides 1 Three-pence at Mattens\ High Mafs, and Vefpers, in this Chappel, « which by this Ordina- tion they were other wife to receive, asaforefaid. And becaufe this firft Sacrift, Gilbert de Tiwe, had taken fa much Pains for advancing the "Profits of this Chappel, it was ordained, that his Anniverfary ITiould be folemnly kept, as well in the. Cathedral, as in it, every Year for ever. After this, '€& in the Tinie of King Henry VI. there being many Chantry-Priefts, which- daily ferved at fundry Altars in this Cathedral for the Health of the Souls of feverai Perfons that had given Lands or Rents for their Support : " Which Chant ry-Priefts having no fettled Place of Habitation, took Lodgings in Lay-men's rfoufes, where Women were, contrary to the Honour of this Church,- and Order of Priefthood. For the reforming therefore hereof, William Bootbe, then Archbilhop, Henry Earl of Northumberland, the Dean, Chief Chanter , and other/ Officers of this Cathedral, in 33 Henry Ml. procured Licenfe from the King to found a Cotlege for them, and to make them a Body-Corporate^ But this good Wbrk was not then effected, as it feems ; for in the firft Year of King Edward IV. at the Inftance of George Nevill, then Biftiop of Cretec, and his Brother Richard Nevill^ then Earl of flBartrncft, another Licenfe was procured for that very Purpofe. Which College of thofe Chantry Priefts was thus founded to the Honour of S. William^ fome time Archbifhop of this See, and called S. William's College. By this Licenfe they had alfo Power to make Choice of one out of themfelves to be the Provoft, or chief Supervifor of the reft ; as alfo to have a Common Seal, and to purchafe Lands to the Value of 5/. per Annum over and above Reprifes.

HAT the Church of Etpporr, in the Weft-Riding of Torkjhire, was founded by Wilfride fome time Archbifhop of f 0$, (and for his Holinefs of Life reputed a Saint) is acknowledged by all Hiftorio-^ff'^ graphers that fpeak thereof; certain Lands bordering on that"- »• 20. River carted EUbhle, in the County of iancaffet, being given him to that Purpofe by the King; in Ipacmunoemesi and tanfci?0, confiding of ten Houfholds; and lhortly after another, called Efppon, containing thirty Dwel- lings, which he had formerly given to certain Perfons that fol- lowed the Scottljh Rule for to build a Monaftery there. But becaufe thofe Men chofe rather to be gone from thence, than to celebrate the Feaft of Eafter, and obferve all other Canonical Rites, according to the Ufage of the Roman and Apoftolical Church, he beftow'd that Place on him : At which Time he was at the faid King's Command ordained in that Monaftery by Agilbert, Bifhop of the £Oeff>@aron& to the end he might be his infeparable Companion, Prieft, and Inftru&or. Not long after, the Scottifh Se£t being difcover'd and eje£ted/ /4( King Aldfrid fent him into jf ranee, with the Confent of Ofwi his Father, defiring that he mould be ordained Bifhop by the faid Agilbert, he being at that Time about the Age of 30 Years ; with whom alfo eleven other Bifhops, prefent at his Confirma- tion, did very honourably perform that Solemnity. But he thereupon continuing in thofe Foreign Parts, Chad (a Perfon of great San&ity) was made Bifhop of ^o?h by the Command of King Ofwi, who governing that Church for three Years, and then retiring to his Monaftery at teffmpt, this Wilfrid under- went the Charge of all the. Northern Parts from dumber to £>cotlanti, until he was driven thence by King EcgfriJ, and others placed in his ftead. Whereupon he went towards Eome, to make Complaint to the Pope of this his injurious Expulfion ; but by a ftrong Eafterly Wind was driven into jfrtjelanU, where he found ho- nourable Reception from the barbarous Inhabitants, and Algijfi their King, to whom he preach'd the Faith of Chrift; by which many Thoufands being converted, forfaking their (inful Courfes, were by him baptized ; amongftwhom he continued all the next Winter, and then took his Journey to Eome, where the Caufe of his Complaint being heard by Pope Agatbo, and divers Bifhops, he was by their unanimous Suffrage acquitted of what had been laid to his Charge, and likewife adjudged worthy of his Bifhoprick. I i i i To The HISTORY of To this Narrative Bifhop Godwyn addeth fomething which Bede doth not mention, viz. that Wilfrid coming home, and finding another Man in his Place, lived for fome time a private Life; in which Space he was often invited by WuJpter, King of <$tocla, unto the Bilhoprick of Lttc&fieltJ : But in the end, Chad being removed, he fettled himfelf again at $o$ } and ported Chad to JUtdjfWt!. After which, the flrft Thing he went about, was to finifh his Cathedral there, left unperfecl: by Taulinus, and fince his De- parture very much decay'd, (for the Roof was fallen, and the Walls in many Places ruinous. J This his Church he repaired and finifhed, mending the Walls, covering it with Lead, gla- zing the Windows, and beautifying the fame with many goodly Ornaments. He was alfo fo greatly beloved of all Sorts of People for his Gentlenefs, Affability-, and Liberality, as many then living, but more at their death, (efpecially of the Clergy) would put their Goods and Children into his Hands; the one aMuring themfelves of a faithful Keeper, the other of a difcreet and confcionable Difpehder. Hereby it came to pais, that in a fhort Time he grew exceeding rich, having many Servitors to attend him, and great Store of Plate, with other Houfhold Stuff very fumptubus : The Report whereof coming to Theodore, Archbifhop of Canterbury, it put him in mind of the Greatnefs of that Diocefe, and the Ability of the Country to maintain more Bifhops; for which refpect he went about to appoint two or three -other Bifhdps under him ; which when Wilfrid obfti- nately refnfed, and the other ceafed not to urge very earneftly, he appealed unto the Pope, and went unto him in Perfon, the Pope being then at the Council of Cottffante, where both by him and 1 his Council it was ordered, that the State of the Bi- fhoprick of mould not be alter'd without Wilfrid's own Confent. But Ecgfrid the King fo favoured Theodore s Device, as that Wilfrid, at his Return, perceived well, he muft either yield unto it, or forfake the Country : He therefore rather chofe to leave that Bilhoprick, Country and all, and to live in Poverty and Exile. Hereupon he went into buffer, and there endea- vouring to convert the People of that Country unto the Faith of Chrift, became their Bifhop, and laM.the Foundation of a Cathedral Church at ^coffep, the See being afterwards re- moved to '(Efricljeffer* Howbeit, after ten Y%ars Banifhment, King Ecgfrid dying, Aldfrid, who fucceeded him, fent for Wil- frid, and defired him t6 return to his Se£ of which he did : But after five Years, the King fell out with him, and forced the Collegiate Church at R I P P O N. 35* forced him to Eomc again ; where purging himfelf of all the Accufations laid againft him by the King, he obtained the Pope's Letters in his Favour ; by Means whereof, and Inter* ceffion of many Friends, he was at laft, with much ado, re- ftored once more to his firft Charge : In which, after this his laft Reftitution, he lived peaceably the Space of four Years, and died the nth of Offober, in the Year of our Lord 711, 45 Years after his firft Confecration, being at that Time 76 Years of Age. He was buried in the Monaftery of Etppon, which himfelf built : But that Church afterwards falling down for want of Reparations, Odo, Archbifhop of Canterbury, re- moved his Bones to Canterbury about the Year DCCCCXL. I now return, and proceed with that Narrative which Vene- rable Bede doth farther make of him. At that Time, faith he, that Wilfrid was acquitted by Pope Agatho, and divers Bifhops by their general Suffrage (as before is obferved) that Pope calling a Synod of one hundred and twenty Bifhops concerning thofe who taught one Will and Ope- ration in our BlefTed Saviour, he caufed this Wilfrid to be fent for ; and placing him amongft thofe Bifhops, required him to give an Account of his Faith, and of the Faith pf the Country whence he came : Whereupon, being found Catholick, his Holinefs caufed the fame to be regifter'd amongft the reft of the A&s of that great Council, in this Manner : a Wilfrid, Bifhop of f 0$, beloved of God, having made his Ap* 4t peal to the Apofiolick See, and by the Tower thereof abfolved of a fome uncertain Things, was placed with an hundred and twenty u other Bifhops on the Seat of Judgment in that Synod: And on the a Part of all the Northern Counties of *&#ttiiin ^id UteteuU , inhabited " by the Englifh, Britans, Scots and Picts, hath confeffed the true " Catholick Faith, and confirmed the fame with his Subfcription. w Which done, returning into 'B^ttannv, he converted the South- " Saxons to the Faith of Chrift ; fent Preachers of the Word to the " IJle of OHfggt; and in the fecond Tear of King Aldfrid {Succeffor 1 to King Ecgfrid) took Poffejfion of his Bifhoprick, through the In- c vitation of that King. But at length, after five Tears, being ac* " cufed by the fame King and divers Bifhops, he was ezpetid ; and hath given thee Life. Wherefore I tell thee^ " that the Collegiate Church at R I P P O N. " that tho thou art now recovered of this thy Infirmity, prepare thy/elf, f for four Tears hence I will vijit thee again. When thou returneft U into thy Country, thou {halt repoffefs the. greateft Pari of thofe Lands W which have been taken from thee, and Jhalt end thy Days in Tran* w quillity. Being hereupon reftored to his Health (all rejoycing and giving Thanks to God) he began his Journey, and came into TOtatn ; and having (hew'd his Letters from the Pope to Beru wald, then Archbifliop of Canterbury, and Edilred, formerly King, (but then an Abbot) they readily favoured him : Which Edilred, calling to him Ceonred, whom in his ftead he made King, earneftly defired that he would be a Friend to this Bifhop. Notwithftanding which, Alfrid, King of JISogiKimbecUnttij refufed to accept him ; but he living not long, and Ofied his Son &k> ceeding him, in a Synod held near to the River JOtD, after fome Efifpute, all favouring him, he was admitted to his Bimoprick : After which he enjoy'd it peaceably for the Space of four Years ; and departing this Life upon the fourth Ides of Otlober, in a certain Monaftery of his own called tatttrale, whereof Cutbald was then Abbot, his Body was carried by thofe of that Covent unto Kippotr, and there buried in the Church of S. Peter the Apoftle, near to the South Altar, for whom this Epitaph was compofed.

S to the Antiquity of this Church, if we may credit the Regifter, or Town - Book of OSEietlep, it was | founded in the Time of Lucius, the firft Chriftian King of the Britans, about the Year from our Saviour's Incarnation CXXVI. and deftroyed by Horfa and Hengift, thofe Pagan Saxons who invaded this Land, in Anno CCCCL. What Endowment it then had, I have not feen, nor any thing far- ther that is memorable thereof, till after the Year DCLXXX VII. that John Archbifhop of fo#t (the fifth from Paulinus) did there erecl: a a Monaftery for Monks, conftituting Brithune (his Dea- V^f 4 ?;, con) the firlt Abbot there. ; p. it 9 . t. ». Of this John, whp for the Sandity of his Life is commonly 4 °' S. John of Beverley (by reafon, b that almoft 34. Years after h e p b ^ dw,<(e had been Archbifhop, he retired hither, and here ended his Days) it is believed that he was of good Parentage, and born c at iparpfjam in Torkfhire ; his Education being firft under Hilda^^f^ Abbefs of atffjttbp (who for d her Holinefs of Life was canoniz'd^.^o. a Saint) afterwards e under Theodore, Archbifhop of Canterbury:^!? ' And, being a Student in the Univerfity of £>jCfo#, he afcen- J°^^; a , ded f to the Degree of Doctor of Divinity there. p£> * 6o - After this he became an Heremite at Damefljalg in jftojtfmm-- berlanti, upon the Bank of Cine (near C;e^am.) He was alfo made Bifhop of g iper&am (then called ^aa;ul(fati) fucceeding h H Eate in that See, and much frequented 1 the Oratory of S. Ml-'^y 10 ' *' chael, near fperljam* The famous Bede was a Dilciple k of his :jj^i<*9 <*• So likewife was Brithune, afterwards Abbot of T6eUccicp 3 as"' alfo 1 Herbald, a devout Man, and his ufua I Companion, who 1A| 7°-* was afterwards Abbot of Ctncmoutfj, Of his Miracles Bede siveth m an ample Account, to whom mi/ *- 1 refer my Reader. This pious Archbiftiop finding the Parifh-Church of "Bcfcerlep dedicated to S.John the Evangelift, converted n it to a Mona-J % f ffJ ic - ftery, and afligned it unto Monks; building the Choir a-new,p p. 170. ». and appointing p a Place for the Prior in the Body of the Church. q 10> tf 20, He alfo ereded ^ on the South Part thereof the Oratory of S. Martin, wherein he afterwards placed Nuns; affociating to the 1 ^2 The H 1ST O R Y of the Monks feven Priefts, and as many Clerks in the Body of ri /W(U . 30 .the Church : For the Support of whom he purchafed r the Man- nour of EiWnff0j and then built the Church of S. Nicolas in that Lordfhip ; giving 5 alfo unto them the Church of TBe&etlep, and certain Lands in ^tDMcton, mtM&, QBtlton apd patrtngtotu: t As to its farther Endowments, I find, c that'this holy Man ha- virfg cured the Wife of Puch (a certain Earl in thofe Days, who refided at §>out!j= n >5uttoit, two Miles from TSzbztlzy) of a dange- rous Sicknefs ; Puch made Tolfride, his Daughter, a Nun in this Monaftery, and, thereunto gave with her the Mannour of ccsialk- fngtone: Which Tolfride died the third Ides of March, in the Year DCCXLII. and was buried at TOctlep* u mi n. 40. It appears u alfo, that Addi (an Earl at that Time) gave it to Bo?tl> 'Button* with the Advowfon of the Church. After which the Chappels of lefctnfein and @)co^bttrff (both in that Parifh of 3I3o2t|)'13ucton) ' were erected, which in fucceeding Times became *^.k.$o. Parochial Churches. Alfo, that w Ofred, King of jRojtfjtimbei;* initio gave them the Church of Daltctt. x ^ This Archbifhop John, waxing very old, having been x a *(?^-*Kfccte 33 Years, 8 Months, and 53 Days, refigned y his b) Charge, with the Confent of his Clergy, procuring z Wilfrid his Chaplain to be confecrated in his ftead : Whereupon reti- ring, he lived a privately here at 'Befoetlep 3 and departing b this Life the feventh Day of May, in the Year of Chrift DCCXXL c libid. was buried c in the Church-Porch. After which, viz. in a Convention held at Lonttoit, Anno MCCCCXVL that Day of his Death was d appointed to be kept every Year Holy, in Memory of him. f S utjupn' ^ ne C Qurcn b e * n g thus endowed, did fo continue c for the s> )p. 170. 'a. Space of 1 4.6 Years after his Death ; but then, upon an Inva- v?; " 60, fion of the Pagan Banes, it was by them, with all the Books and Ornaments, totally deftroyed f , and lay defolate for the Space of three Years, that the Priefts and Clerks thither re- turning back, repaired s it. The next and chiefeft Benefactor it had was King Athelftan, (Son and Succeflfor to King Edward the Elder) who began his Reign in the Year DCCCCXXI1IL \) U its Le- This King having h given his Sifter Edithe in Marriage to k>onardi Sythrk, King of l2o?tfKtmbetlantf, who was of the Dariijh Race, m ) Eb ° r ' upon condition he would be a Chriftian ; Sythrk was accord* ingly baptized 1 by Bifhop Wolfian. But, departing this Life fhortly after, Ediths, his Widow, veiled k herfelf a Nun ; and Godfrey, with Aulaffe, his two Sons by a former Wife, entring upon the Government, raged 1 fore againft the Chriftians ; for which knowing they fhould be accountable, drew m Conftantine King « .Si the Collegiate Church at BEVERLEY. 53 King of Scots, and Howel King of ©Uaicsfj.to their Party; and fo marching Southwards, bad n Defiance to Kii)g-Atbe!ftan r for^.. being a Means of their Father's Converfion. pi Athelftan, therefore, with a fmall, but well ordered Army,?> /W - encountred them near the River Crcnt, and obtained Victory a * j over them. Neverthelefs, upon their Submiffion, he gave them uJ Leave p to return into their refpedive; Countries. But after- wards entring into a new Confpiracy, they drew q all the Iri/h they could raife unto their Party, and prepared for another Invafion. But King Athelfian having Notice thereof, advanc'd c towards them with a gallant Army : And in his .March near Lincoln, meeting 5 with a Company of Pilgrims, who made Re- femblance of much Joy ; he enquiring c the Reafon thereof, they told u him, That they were come from %mtky, where did reft a glorious Confeflbr, John by Name; by whofe Merits and Interceffions, the Blind, Lame, and other infirm Perfons, were reftored to their Healths. With which Report the King became fo affected, that he gave w Order for the March of his Army to f ojft $ himfelf, with * 2 feveral of his Nobles, riding x (trait unto 'BetorJev; where with y s ; ^. great Devotion he vifited y S. Johns Sepulchre ; and, laying 2 his I i Knife upon the high Altar, engaged his Promife*, that if he re- b turn'd victorious, he would redeem it at a large Price ; which he foon after did b accordingly perform : For, upon his Battle with the Scots, he pray'd c to God, That at the Interceffion of c\Brom P t°on that great Saint, he would vouchfafe to manifeft, by fome evi-eS^'o. 3 ^ dent Sign, whereby the Prefent and After Ages might know ' 40, that they did of Right owe Subjection to the Englifh. Smiting d , thereupon, a Rock near to the Cattle of Dunbar, with his Sword, he made fo great an Impreffion e into it, that the Stroke was feen to be a full Ell in Depth. Carrying f therefore the Banner of S.Jobn along with him,J a ^^-^ he obtained § the Victory; and upon his Coming back, en-»- «o. ' rich'd h this Monaftery of S.

He alfo built h a new Choir to the old * 1 Church, and added 1 an eighth Prebend thereto. He likewife k \m* adorned k the whole Church with rare Work of Painting fromln) the Choir to the Steeple ; which Painting they called Heaven. Moreover, above the Door which entred the Choir, he placed a Pulpit 1 of Brafs, adorning m it with excellent Teutonic Work of Silver and Gold. To this Church alfo King William the Conqueror was a Bene- fadtor, giving n &fgIeffljo?ne thereto ; ftr idly commanding , thatjj^-^ 1 " his Soldiers fhould do it no Hurt.

Next to thofe, John Maunjell, Treafurer of foi%. Alan : Then Morgan, one of the natural Sons of King Henry II.. who in the Year MCCXV. being advifed by the Pope to profefs himfelf Sir R. Bloeis Son (his Mother's Husband) that after Philip's Death he might be capable of the See of Otitfram ; replied, That he would not re- nounce his Royal Blood for any Promotion. To him Peter of Chefter fucceeded, who was a memorable Benefactor to this Church, purchafing certain Tenements and Lands, which he annexed to that Dignity ; and in all the Mannours belonging thereto, left Goods and Chattels of a conflderable Value. The next was Haymo de Chart, a Foreigner : Then Robert de Alberwick ; and after him in Order, William de Melton, Nicolas de Hugate, William de la Maze, Richard de Ravens, Adam de Lin- derijh, John de Thoyby, and Robert de Man/ley, or Mansfield, who was Prefident of the Chapter, Canon-Refidentiar^, Parfon of Hackney, Prebend of divers Places, and Matter of the Free-School at Maldon, as more at large is fet down by * Symon Rujfel, who gives us this Catalogue to the Year MO CCXVL To him fucceeded William Kinwolmerjh, Lord Treafurer to King Henry V.

What lpecial Ordinances and Conftitutions the Canons of this Church had for their better Government, I have not feen, till King Richard Il's Time, that Thomas Arundell, then Arch- bifhop the Colkjjate Church at BEVERLEY. bifliop of pojti, framed w a new Body of Statutes, whereby (uch \ proper Rules and Directions were made for their regular Living and refpe&ive Duties, that the Service of God, and all Things conducing to their general Welfare, were ftriclly provided for; an exa6t Copy whereof my Quotation doth referr to : Which Ordinances and Statutes do bear Qate here at I5euerlej> the 27th Day of Juty in the Year of our £ord MCCCXCI. That which I find farther moft memorable in reference to this Church, is, That upon the 1 3th Day of September, in the Year of our Lord MDCLXIIII. the Sexton cafually breaking the Ground in the Middle He thereof, for to bury the Corps of one Widow Boothe, a Box of Lead ("about a Quarter of a Yard in Length, and as much in Breadth,) was found ; which being opened, the Relicks of S.

E F O R E I come to the Foundation and Endow- ment of this great and ancient Cathedral, which was erected to the Memory of Cuthbert, a Per- fon of fuch a ftri£t and devout Life, that he hath ever fince been reputed for a Saint ; it will not be improper to take Notice of what is moft confiderable which is faid of him by our chief and authentick Hiftoriographers. In the Heptarchy of the Saxons, and fixth Century after our blefTed Saviour's Incarnation, Ofwald, the Son of King Ethel* frid, then King of jlSotflfmmbetlantr, having embraced the Chri- ftian Faith ; for the better Propagation thereof in that barba- sim.Duneim. rous Country, employ 'd a MefTenger to the Chief of the Scott, ub. 1. cap. 1.

Bedzutfupra. Hereupon they fent Aydan, a learned and pious Monk of that Ifland called pp, (lying on the Weftern Part of that Realm towards 3|relann) wherein was the chiefeft Monaftery of the Scots and Pi&s : Which Aydan (with another Monk he brought with him) was thereupon by that good King commodioufly feated in a certain Ifle, lying Eaftward from jfronbumbetlantJ, called iintiissfacite, (or the ^olu 3flaitn ) where he conftituted an Epifcopal See in the Year DCXXXV. which was the fecond of his Reign, and 59th from the Coming of S. Auguftin, for the Converfion of the Pagan Saxons to the Faith of Chrift. Some Years after the Death of this Bifhop Aydan, a certain young Man named Cuthbert, who in his Youth was a Shepherd, or Keeper of Cattle in the Mountains, near the River ieUer, having a glorious Vifion there in the Night ; that is to fay *, the S£2S?°*Soid of Aydan carried by Angels into Heaven ; the next Morn- /"/>r.j>.67.<.i n g gave up his Charge of thofe Cattle to each particular Owner ; and refolving on a Monnftick Life, repaired to the Abby Dunclm. up. 3.

Which did fo alarm the Men of JBotttmmberlantJ, that, being got together, they forced the City next Morning at every Gate, and fearching about, flew all the Earl's Soldiers, except fome few, which defended the Houfe wherein he himfelf did lodge; who making Refiftance, they burnt the Houfe; the Flame whereof coming near to the Weftern Tower of the Cathedral, fet it on fire : Whereupon the People addreffing their Prayers to S.Cutbbert, to fave the Church, there forthwith arofe an Eafterly Wind, which carried the Flame a contrary Way ; but the Houfe wherein the Earl was, burnt on ; fo that many of thofe which were in it perifhed thereby ; thofe which got out being alfo kill'd by the People: So that the Earl himfelf, and all his Company, except one who got thence, much wound- ed, were then deftroyed.

Neverthelefs, in this Interim, the Soldiers got thither, and made great Spoil in the Church, diverting the Crucifix of thofe Ornaments which had been beftow'd thereon by Earl Tofti and his Wife : Which being told to King William, he became very angry ; and caufing the Tranfgreflbrs to be taken, fent them to the Bifhop and his Clergy to be punifhed, who return'd thein back untouched.

Some time after this, the fame King William returning from StotlanH with his Army, came to Dttrfjam $ and earneftly en- quiring, whether they there had the very Body of S. Cuthbert, or not ; tho' all affirm'd it, he would not credit them : But re- folving to fee it, commanded the Bifhop and Abbots to open the Shrine ; purpofing, in cafe they refuted, to cut off the Heads of all the Gentlemen there, which put them into no little Ter- ror. But being at Mafs with the Bifhop, and intending that Cruelty, he forthwith forfook the Church in a great Fury; and getting to Horfe, rode with Speed to the River Ctife $ by which Token he acknowledged, that the Corps of this blefled Confeffor did reft there, doing no Hurt at all to the People. m. cq. 20. But long after this it was not, that he fent one Ranulpb, to impofe a Tax upon the Inhabitants of that Country ; at which, being not a little grieved, that they fhould undergo new Cu- ftoms, in this Diftrefs they implored the Aid of S. Cutbbert: Whereupon, the Night before this Affefment was to be laid upon them, he appeared to Ranulpb in his Sleep, holding up his Paftoral Staff; and by his Epifcopal Authority, with a ftern the Cathedral Church at DURHAM 6y (tern Countenance, rebuk'd him for thus daring to afflict his People ; threatning him, that he mould not efcape with Im- punity for this Attempt ; and, unlefs he fpeedily got away, worfe fhould befall him : Whereupon, awaking from Sleep^ he found himfelf fo lick, that he could not get out of Bed ; and making Relation thereof to thofe who were then with him^ he defired them to pray to S. Cutbbert for him ; alluring them, that if he lived, he would never do the like, and fent a fair Cover for his Shrine, which (faith my Author) was till his Time kept in Memory thereof ) promising thenceforth to be a faithful and devout Servant to him and his, in cafe he would pardon this his Tranfgreffion. Which, with other Miracles wrought by this Saint, being made known to King William, he thenceforth had him and his Church in high Veneration, and beftow'd divers Gifts thereon, caufing TBrtimg&am, which had been violently taken from it, to be, for the good Eftate of himfelf and his Sons, reftored.

All which being accomplifh'd, this devout Aldwine, zealous for the farther propagating this Monaftick Kind of Life, re* folved to go farther, leaving his Fellow Elfwine to prefide in that Covent at 3arrotu Reinfrid (the third of them) going to aailjttbp (in the Eaft-Riding of Torkjbire) where he began an Habitation for another Covent ; which after his Death remo- ving to go#, the Abby call'd S.

Whence going to $9atltcg, (a decayed and ruinous Monaftery) being much affected with the Solitude of that Place, they had a mind to fettle there. Whereof, when Malcolme, King of g>cot-- ianu, had Notice, (it being within his Dominion) he became very fevere to them, becaufe they refufed to fwear Fealty to him. Hereupon Bifhop Walcber wrote to them, requiring their Return, and threatned them with Excommunication, in cafe of Refufal; but they obeying, he beftow'd on them the Mo- naftery of £2tomcut& ; which being ruinous, they were neceffi- tated to make for themfelves Habitations there with Boughs. ?: Having SBttemoutl) thus given them by Bifhop Walcber, Wil- liam de Kaerlepho, his Succeffor, gave them ©utljeUn'c, the adja- cent Village : Whereupon that Covent augmenting, by the Ac- cefs to them of others from feveral remote Parts, they began to rebuild the Church. l. -53.

But not continuing long in that King's Favour, he was driven from this Bilhoprick, and retired into JI5o?manUp x JMeverthelefs the Monks were kindly dealt with by that King, Turcot the then Prior being gracioully received by him. and authorized to take a great Care of that Covent, as he haa done under • © 5 lib, 7 2 The HISTORY of under the Bifhop. The Monks therefore being thus favoured, built the Refectory during the Bifhop's Abfence. But in the third Year after this his Expulflon, upon the Siege of a Caftle in JI2osmattt>p which the King's Soldiers held, and which was in no little Danger of taking, he being the chief Means of their Relief, and Caufe of railing the Siege, the King received him into Favour, and reftored unto him whatfoever he formerly had in CiifflantJ : Whereupon he came back not empty- handed, but fent before him divers VelTels of Gold and Silver, with feveral Ornaments for the Altar, and Books for this Cathedral ; and being returned, caufed the old Church at Dutfjam, built by Bifhop Aldune, to be pull'd down, a.d. 1093. an( j t h e next en f unl g Year began the Structure of a more large and noble Building; himfelf, with Turgot the Prior, and the reft of the Monks, laying the firft Stones, undergoing the total Charge, on his own Coft, of that great Fa brick ; the Monks, at theirs, erecting all Lodging Rooms, and other Apartments for their Conveniency. Not long after which, he departed this >.Efcneim. Ljf e ^ a. Non. Januarii. A D. MXC VI. and was buried in the Chapter-Houfe at Durham, as himlelf had directed. ^^roDcc About this Time William de Merley (a great Baron in Bop %cj ap ca!b t & llm^,e,:lan * , ) beftowed on thefe Monks of Durham the Lord- DuncimV fhip of ^o^cujic, with its Appurtenances, for the Health of his Soul, and the Soul of his Wife ; as alfo of the Souls of all his Sons : After whpfe Death, Ranulf his eldeft Son, for farther Corroboration or that Gift, delivered Poffeffion to them there- of, by a Knife offered at the Shrine of S. Cutbbert. That this ancient Cathedral, with the Monaftery here at Dutljam, were founded and endowed in Memory of the before- mention'd Cutbbert, whofe Stri&nefs and Aufterity of Life, and other eminent Vertues, gain'd him the Reputation of a Saint, I have already fhewed. But as I have declined to make Rela- tion of the Miracles then believ'd to have been done in his Life- time, as alfo at his Tomb afterwards, by his Interceffion, re- ferring my Reader to the Ecclefiaftick Hiftory of venerable Bede, and the Report of Simeon of Dutfjam (fome time a Monk there ;) fo neither have I meddled, nor fhall do, with the Lives of the Bilhops, farther, than in fuch Matters as relate to the Structure, Endowment, or Adorning thereof; as alfo of the Catties and Manfions which belong thereto, and other fignal Works of Piety. After the Death of William de Caerlepb, the laft mention'd s.Duneim. Bifhop, this Church being void of a Paftor for three Years; *7' M9 '*the King, foil William Rufus, took CCC\ Yearly out of the Re^ venues thereof into his own Treafury, but Nothing from the Monks ; the Cathedral Church at DURHAM. 75 Monks; and at length beftowed the Bifhoprick upon Ranulph his Chaplain ; who, being very powerful with him, was his chief Inftrument for opprefling the People; by Means whereof heRanuiph became fo odious, that his Death was confpired, which he very F ' atabar ' narrowly efcaped. And upon the Death of that King, tuch great Complaints were made of him to King Henry I. that, fearing the Worft, he fled into J12o?mantip to Robert Curthofe, in- citing him to invade this Realm as his Right. During which his Abfence, Carlifle and Cetnottrale, which belong'd to this *M.p. 62. t. Bifhoprick, were pofTefs'd by other Bifhops, which he could never recover : Neverthelefs,. he had fo great an AfFe&ion to this Church, that upon his Return, he raifed the Walls of the^-* 40 * Body of. the Church to the Roof, which his PredecefTor had only begun, and beftow'd thereon divers rich Veftments, and Ornaments of all Sorts. And though the City of traWe:ate, with Arches of Stone : He likewife built a ftrong Caftle * upon an * .telaim high Rock on the Bank of Cfoetie, to reftrain the Incurfion of the Scots, and prevent the Mifchief of Bordering Thieves and Robbers. In the Time of this Bifhop, the Inhabitants of jOo^tljutttbcc-* h. 76. »ty«» !an& laying Claim to the Lordfhips of 'Burmtne, Catlenttme, and^* 34 -^ l|)eneclpfe 5 alledging, that they were a Part of their County • King Henry I. bearing a good Affedion to this Cathedral, con- firm'd them thereto : They alfo claim'd free Liberty to hunt in all the Woods belonging to this Bifhoprick, lying betwixt the Rivers of t£nfe and Ctne 3 and, in Confederation of one Penny ^ to have as much Fewel in thofe Woods as one Cart would carry throughout the whole Year : And for the like Piece of Money, to have the beft Tree they could choofe wherewith to make a Ship ; as alfo certain Cuftoms upon the River of Ctne, which belong'd to thofe Bifhops. And for all thefe they impleaded the faid Ranulf, the then Bifhop in the King's Court, in the Prefence of him and his Barons. But the King put an End to this Suit ; and in the Year MCIX. in a great Council, at that Time held at Bottrnfffjam, ratified to the faid Bifhop and his SuccefTors all thofe their Lands and Liberties. About this Time likewife, Ntgel de Albinei, a potent Man in 35 that Time, pofleffed himfelf of two fair Lordfhips belonging to this Church, feil. ^nmpngbam and ©kermwoftani x But after T 1 1 1 a while 7 74 i .7/^ HISTORY of a while, fatting dangeroufly fick, he became very penitent for Fo doing, and reftored them. inS^t This Bimo P ^ am k h ^y in g io the Ye ar MCXXIX. the Reve- 62. b. nues belonging to this Cathedral were by two Barons of the Biffroprick brought into the King's Coffers for the Space of five Years, within which Time the Body of the Church was finiftied mi p. 6i.

But then one Geffrey was conftituted Bifhop, who beftowed divers Ornaments on the Church; built the Caftle at SU&ertott, and gave it to William, his Nephew, who l. n. ut fw- married the Earl of Albemarle s Niece. In his Time alfo the *s. DiIneim.Chapter-Houfe was new built * by the Monks. Shortly after this, in the Time of King Stephen, William de 5.

' Nephew to King Stephen ; who, by the Command of that King, *$o2Ham. repaired the Caftle * on the Bank of CfoeUe, then deftroy'd by the Scots, which Ranulpb his Predeceflbr formerly built. He alfo enlarged the Church of Dut&am Eaftwards, in length, adorning it with Marble Pillars fetched from far ; as alfo the r. "53. f.%6. Glafs Windows with excellent Painting. At the Weft End alfo of this Cathedral he began another noble Work, into which Women might come who were not permitted Entrance into the more fecret Holy Places. This is it which is called the atibetg;, with the Wapentack thereto belonging ; and in Exchange, for the Service of three Knights Fees, which Philip de Kime held in Lincoln/hire, of his See ; and for the two Knights Fees which Gerard de Camvil held ; one KnightY Fee, which Baldwin Wac, and Roger de Ofevile, in like Sort there held ; the faid King granted unto him, and his Succeflbrs, the Service of Peter Carou, and his Heirs, for one Knight's Fee in ®etcm and Cretan 5 as alfo the Service of Thomas de Hamundevile, and his Heirs, for one Knight's Fee in Cotomand topfojtij and the Service of the Son of Godfrey Roard and his Heirs, for two Parts of one Knight's Fee in ^ttroietcm and tpectfmnt : All which . Lands lying betwixt Cpne and Cetfe, they held of that King. Shortly after this, Henry de Puteaca (id eft, Pudfey) for the^ Health of his Soul, and the Soul of his Father and Mother, as alfo for his Wife's Soul, beftowed on thefe Monks of Dur&am the Monaftery of JFpnfeljaU, with its Appurtenances ; that is to fay, the Towns and Lordfhips of cOpnnpte and Ipefsfoell : Alfo that Land which he obtained of William de Nolefiune, within and without the Borough of Jpetttlpole : Likewife that Houfe in BeUJcaflle, which he had of the Grant of William, the Son of William the Monyer, and Gerard the Provoft ; and the Land which heretofore was Adam Clerkes : Alfo the Town of 8Hipn« 7 6 The HISTORY of Stt&, with its Appurtenances, with the Service of 'Bjome and Htflep ; and like wife fix Score Acres of Land, which Hugh de Pudfey, late Bifhop of £>tttljam 5 gave to him the faid Henry, of his Wafte at T5akftanfo£h Lu utfu. i n t he Year MCCXLIL (a6 H.

Xo this Nicolas de Farnbam fucceeded Walter de Ktrkbam, who gave to thefe Monks of Dutljam the Church of ^enpnrttcm, for the better Support of their Hofpitality, and Relief of the Poor.* $*f.y$u wn ^ cn ^ ^ n( ^ * n tne next ^ ace mo ^ obfervable, is, ' -j That after the Battle of CbeOjam, where the rebellious Barons were totally vanquifrVd, and their Lands thereby forfeited to the Crown, K. Henry III. feized upon the Mannour of ©cetfcam, which belong'd to Peter de Montfort, one of thofe Rebels, and difpofed thereof to Thomas de Clare : But, that the then Biftiop (Robert de Stichall) challenging it as forfeited to him, and mani> refting, that within the Precindts of this Bifhoprick he had Royal Privileges, the King quitted his Claim thereto. mi f. 5 <5. In the Year MCCXC ( 1 8 E. I.) there happened a great Dif- pute betwixt the Monks of Durljam and Raphe Lord Nevill^ touching the Payment of a Stag upon S. Cuthberis Day, in September, by reafon that the faid Lord Nevil, holding the Man- nour of Baftp, with eight adjacent Townfhips, by the Rent of four Pounds yearly and a Stag, did, contrary to the Cuftom in the Time of his Progenitors, claim a large Entertainment for himfelf, and all he mould bring with him, upon Delivery of the Stag; as alfo, that his own Officers and Servants mould perform the Service at Dinner on that Day, fetting afide the Servants and Officers of the Prior and Monks : And, bearing himfelf upon his Greatnefs, had invited many to come with him at that Time ; amongft which, John Lord Baliolof Bernard Caflle was one, who modeftly anfwered, That having been long acquainted with the Cuftoms in that Monaftery, he never heard that the Nevils did challenge any fuch Privilege; and therefore refufed to accompany him : Sir William de Brompton, at that Time the Bifhop's Chief Juftice, publickly alfo de- claring, that he himfelf was the firft who began that Pra&ice; and that when he was a young Man, and delighted in blowing a Horn, he came with the Lord Nevill at the bringing of the Stag, and faid to his Companions ; Come, let us go into the Abby, and wind our. Horns : Whereupon they did fo; but that before this Lord Nevilfs Time, they never ufed fo to do, the former Cuftom the Cathedral Church at DURH A.M. 77 Cuftbm having always been to .bring the Stag into the Hall, and have a Breakfaft, the Lord Nevill himfelf never flaying Dinner, without Invitation. In the Time of King Edw. I. Anthony Bek (a moft magnani- Ms- ^fa- mous Prelate J being Bifhop, there happened great Difference^'' ir ' ,x7 '*' betwixt him and thofe who held Lands of the Bifhoprick, he forcing them twice to attend him with Horfe and Arms into the Wars of ©cottanB 5 and upon their Return from the fecond Ex- pedition, without his Leave, imprifoning them : Whereupon / ^^< they ftourly infifted on their Privileges; alledging, That they Hojy Man ; were * Haliwerfolk, and held their Lands to defend the Corps Sfi^l? of S.

That King alfo feized upon OUerke in Cfne* Hale, $>entet&, and the Church of SpmontJbojne, which this Bi- fhop had appropriated to the Support of his own Table, hav- ing them by the Grant of the King of £^cotIa»ti ; the King al- ledging, that they were forfeited to him before the King of Scots did make that Grant to the Bifhop. Neverthelefs, he was no fmall Benefactor to this Church of ii>id.f. 122. b. Durham * for he beftow'd thereon the Mannour of CUentnati, which he purchafed of John Haunfard, and new built his Man- nour-Houfe at aufelanH, with a fumptuous Chappel there, and fair Lodgings for his Chaplains, who celebrated Divine Service therein ; appropriating the Church of ^o?petf) thereto ; being farther fo munificent to this Cathedral, as that he was permitted to have Sepulture for his Body therein ; whereas, before that Time, no dead Corps, for the Reverence to S. Cuthbert, was » permitted to enter into it. To him fucceeded Richard de Kellaw, a Monk of this Coven t/-f- who built the great Chamber at @>toctott<2Iaffle 5 and the Mannour- Houfe at ©HtlMDall (fixteen ' Miles from ^o#.) This Bifhop dying in the Year MCCCXVL (10 E.

Amongft the reft of the Benefactors to this Cathedral (for i'o I prefume he may be reckoned} was Lewes de Beaumont, Bifhop of Otirljaw, in King Edw.

He maintained alfo a Suit at Law againft John Lord Darcie for the Church of 8>ti>inbo?ne, but died before it was de- termined : And at sptitrte&am (one of the great Lordfhips be^ longing to this Cathedral) built the Kitchen ; as alfo begun the Fabrick of the Hall and Chappel. it. f. ii 7 . b. T ne next Benefactor, in Order of Time, was Raphe Lord Nevill, who departed this Life in the Year MCCCLV. (a 9 E. III.) This Lord, being the firft fecular Perfon who had Burial in this Cathedral, gave thereunto one Veftment of red Velvet richly embroidered with Gold, Silk, and great Pearls ; as alfo with the Portraitures of Saints ftanding in Tabernacles. Be- fides all this, the Lady Alice, his Widow, after his Funeral, ib.f. 138. & jp ent to*he Sacriftof this Church, towards the Repair thereof, CXXK in Money ; and at his Armiverfary, gave thereto one Veftment, two Tunicles, one Cope, three Albes, two Stoles, and three Maniples of black Sattin, with the Arms of the faid Lord Nevill and of Hugh Lord Audley, her Father, embroider'd on the Borders thereof.

The next of the Benefactors thereto was Thomas de Hatfeild r • Biftiop of Durham, and Lord Keeper of the King's Privy Seal, who made a coftly Work on the South Side of the Choir ; in the midft whereof was the Bifhop's Throne, adorn'd with ex^ cellent carved Portraitures round about it, and under it a Place for his Sepulture, ordaining a yearly Penfion out of g&tiftttip near 3ufe!anU, for one Monk to celebrate Divine Service th. re. He likewife repaired all the ruinous Buildings within the Cattle of the Cathedral Church at DURHAM. of Dtrctrtm, and new built the great Hall therein ; as alfo the Hall belonging to the Conftable, and a large Tower, for the better ftrengthening of that Caftle. He alfo built that fair Manfion-Houfe in the Strand, in the Suburbs of lonuon, called Dnr&aM Snmfe, with the Chappel, and divers fumptubus Cham- bers there. He founded likewife Dta*Tjam College in ©jtfotfi for eighth*. Monks and feven Novices, amply endowing it with Lands and Revenues for their perpetual Support; that is to fay, Ten Pounds a Year for every Monk, and five Marks a Year annu- ally for each Novice. Befides all this, he gave to the Covent at SDutljam, over and above thofe Horfes which fhould bring his Corps to be buried there, all thofe Silk Cloths, fringed with Gold, that were to be ofTer'd at his Funeral; as alio all his Stock of Corn and Cattle in OH Etna!!, then valued at CCCC Marks. The next obfervable Benefactor was Walter Skyrlaw, who was^/«H7-* tranflated from the Bifhoprick of TBatD to this of Duc&am, in the Year MCCCLXXXIX. ( 13 R. II.) This Bimop, befides the Building of the Bridges of ^trifclep, fmxm, and auktottD, and the great Gate-houfe at gtifclanlh the large Tower-Steeple at |)oulDefi, and a vaft Sum in Repair of that Church, as alfo the Structure of the Chapter-Houfe, and Mannour^Houfe there: Likewife of the greateft Part of the Lantern of i^k^mffer $ and founding a Chantry there for the Health of his Soul^ ex- pended fix Hundred Pounds in new building the greateft Part of the Cloyfter at Durham, and CCCXXX, Marks towards the Fabrick of the Dormitory. To him, in anno MCCCCVL (7 H.

On the Building of the new Kitchen, he beftowed 1 80 /. 1 8 j, 7 d. and towards the Structure of the Cloyfter, a 3 8 /. 17 s. ob. He alfo new built the Gaol and Gates with Stone, and likewife the Weft Gates at ^oultien, with divers fair Lodging Rooms ad- joining thereto. He recovered, by Suit at Law, on the Behalf of this his Bw^u.

The next was Robert Nevitt^ who, being Biftiop of @alt0&tttp> was tranflated hither in anno MCCCCXXXVIL (16 H. VI.) This Bifhop built that fquare Fabrick here at Ducljam oppofite to the Caftle Gates, called the Exchequer^ with Lodgings thereto, in which the Courts of Chancery, Exchequer, Receiver, and Auditor, were kept. /*./. 150.*. To him fucceeded Laurence Botbe in anno MCCCCLV1L (26 H. VI.) who built the Gate^houfe with Stone at the College of auklanU, and other Edifices on each Side thereof. /*./. 151.*. The next was Rkbard Fox, who was confecrated Bifhop of Dut&am in anno MCCCCXCIUL (9 H. 7.) This Bifliop altered the Form of the Great Hall in the Caftle of Durfjam, there be* ing in it, before his Time, two Royal Seals, the one at the upper End, the other at the lower ; but he took away that at the lower, and made a fair Cupboard and a Pantry there, and over it ere&ed two Seats for Trumpeters, or other Minftrills, in the Time of Service therein : He alfo built there a Lodging Room, a Counting Houfe, a lacge Kitchen, with all Offices thereto belonging, with Chambers over them ; as alfo all that new Work on the Weft Part of the Hall and Kitchen. Befides; this, he began the Structure of the Hall in the high Tower of t(ie faid Caftle, with a Kitchen, and divers other Rooms; but did not finifti them, by reafon that he was tranflated to Wity cfjeffer. tf££j After him (tho' not the next) was Thomas Rutball^ confe- crated Biftiop of Dur&am in anno MDVIII. H. VII.) who built the great Dining Room at 9uManH, and repaired the third Part of the Bridge over Cute Southwards. And after him (but not the next) Cutbbert Tun/tall, tranflated from tontJou hither in anno MDXXX; who erected the great Porch and Chappel ad- joining to it in the Caftle of Durljam, as alfo the Iron Gates there, and made a Conduit for Water to wafh, on the Left Hand the Entrance into the faid Caftle. ib.f.^.a. kfelikewife built a noble Porch at auklaatr, and finiflied the great Window in the Dining Room there, which was begun by Bifhop Ruthall before^mention'd, making large Repairs there and at Bo$)m* He alfo ere&ed the Collboot&e in the Market- place at Dttdjam, and beftow'd it on the Citizens. ml b. j n t h e Time of this Bifhop, Thomas Starke (a right learned Man) being his Suffragan, a moft beautiful Crofs of Marble, which had anciently ftood in the upper Part of that Street, cal- led ^pMffate, in a Place called ^op&'s arbour, was, at the Requeft of the Cathedral Church ^ DURHAM. 81 of William Wright, a Merchant of Dutljant, given to him by the Lord Armftrong, a Scot, then Lord of iftepperr, to be fet up iri the Marketplace at Durham. Which being taken up, there were found in the Bottom thereof the Images of the Twelve Apoftles curioufly carved in Stone, and richly gilt ; Three at each Corner fupporting the lame, it being of a quadrangular Form ; which Crofs was by the faid Suffragan fet up in the Marketplace at Btirfjam* He likewife caufed the Bells to be taken out of the Steeple :/*./.i$6.i. in the ^allilep, which were defign'd to be broken and fold, to be hung up in the great Tower-Steeple of the Cathedral, and a Chime to be made of them. I now come to the laft of its Benefactors, whofe Works of Piety and Charity were fuch, and fo great, as that they far exceeded the moft of his PredecelTors, viz. Dr. John Cofyn, who was confecrated Bilhop of this See in the Year 1 660, Ihortly after the happy Reftauration of our late Sovereign King Charles II. This worthy Prelate was Son to Giles Cojyn, fome time Citi- zen of 5ao?ttuc4) m 39o£olfc who having been educated in Cuius College in Carnage, became at length fo eminent for his Learn- ing, that he was advanced to the Degree of Dodtor in Divinity ; Afterwards Prebendary in this Cathedral of -Durham: Then to the Archdeaconry of the Eaft Riding of Tork/hire ; next, to the Re&ory of 'Bjanfpatk in this County Palatine of Durham $ where he beautify 'd that Parochial Church in an extraordinary Meafure. After which he was conftituted Mafter of S. Peters College (commonly called Peterhoufe) in Cambgftige, and Vice* Chancellor of that Univerfity : Then Dean of Peterborough, and Chaplain in Ordinary to King Charlesl. of bleffed Memory \ as alfo to King Charles 111 In all which Places and Employ* ments, his Deportment was with fuch Gravity and exemplary Piety, as that at the Beginning of the late llnparallel'd Rebel- lion, raifed by the Separatifts, he was miferably perfecuted and oppreffed, by Plunder of his Goods, Sequeftration of all h;** Eftate, and 1 7 Years Exile. Upon the Reftauration of our prefent Sovereign K. Charles IL being confecrated Bilhop of this See, (as abovefaid) and ftudi- oufly aiming at the future Honour and "Benefit thereof, confix dering what Spoil and Devaftation had been made in the Time of the late Ulurpation, throughout all the PofTefliohs belonging thereto ; he forthwith fet upon the Repair of the Caftle here at Oucljam : So likewife of the Caftle at 'Bfltjop's flufclans : Touch* ing which I may not omit this memorable Gbfervntion ; That, whereas that ancient Cdftle (one of the thief Manfions of this X x x x Bifhop) / / The H I S T O R Y o f Bifhop) was, upon the Seizure of the Bi (hop's Lands by the late "Usurpers, beftow'd on Sir Arthur Hafelrigg of l^ouflep, in the County of Leicefter, Bar. (a Member of their then Houfe of Commons, and in thofe unhappy Times one of the moft vio- lent Adors againft the King and Church:) He defigning to make that Place ( fell aufelann) his principal Seat ; not liking the old fafhion'd Building of the Caftle, refolved therefore on a new Structure of a moft noble and beautiful Fabrick, all of one Pile, according to the moft elegant Mode of thofe Times ; taking for his Pattern that curious and ftately Building at djojpe* near peterbo^ougl;, in Northampton/hire^ which Oliver S T John^ then Chief Juftice of the Court of Common Pleas, under thofe mighty Rulers, had, after the Murder of the King, newly ere&ed ; partly out of the Ruins of an ancient and goodly Chappel adjoyning to the Church at jpetccbo?o.ug6 on the North Side thereof, and Part of that Cathedral. To fit himfelf therefore with Materials for this his new Houfe, he pull'd down a moft magnificent and large Chappel ftanding on the South Side of the Caftle at guftlatti) s which Chappel was built in the Time of King Edward I. (near CCCC Years fince) by that great Prelate Anthony Beke, then Bifhop of jDurfjam, and Patriarch of 3ecufalem, (of whom I have already made Mention) with the Stone whereof, and an Addition of what was deficient, he erefted his new Fabrick in a large Court on the Eaft Side of the Caftle. But this worthy Bifhop, foon after his Confecration, taking Notice that the greateft Part of the Materials made ufe of in that Building were what were taken from that confecrated Chappel, not only refufed to make ufe of it for his Habitation, tho' it was moft commodioufly contrived, and nobly built; but took it wholly down, and with the Stone thereof built ano- ther beautiful Chappel on the North Side of that great Court ; and under the Middle He thereof, caufed a convenient Vault to be made for his own Sepulture, covered with a large Stone of Black Marble ; whereon is engraved this Epitaph, compofed by himfelf.

Befides the Cathedral Church ^DURHAM. Belides the Repair of the Caftle at Dut&anu then very rui- nous, he enlarged it with fome additional Buildings, and re* paired the Bifhop's Houfe at Datlm&tort, at that Time alfo in much Decay : He alfo enrich 'd that his new Chappel at auklatttr, and that in the Caftle at Durham, with divers Pieces of fair gilt Plate Books, and other coftly Ornaments, with Purpofe that they mould remain to his Succeflbrs in that Bifhoprick for ever ; the Charge of all which Buildings, Repairs, Ornaments, &c. amounted to no lefs than Twenty Six Thoufand Pounds. He likewife built and endowed two Hofpitals ; the one at 3>!ti;am for eight poor People, the other at aufelant) for four'; the annual Revenue of the firft being LXX\ and the other XXX K And near to that his Hofpital at Duc&am, rebuilt the School-Houfes, to the Charge of CCC 1 .
