FORETALK.
Tit Mr. W. H. Cross, the Clerk, and Dr, Norman Moore, the
Warden, of St. Bartholomew’s, publish Part I of their Records of the
Hospital, we cannot complete the Life of Tomas Vioary, for our
Forewords to his Anatomie. But as the Text and Appendix in this
Part of our book need a short temporary Foretalk, with a sketch of
Vicary’s Life, we give it here,
The first tidings of Vicary (who was probably born between 1490
and 1500) are, that he was ‘a meane practiser (had a moderate
practise) at Maidstone,’ and was not a traind Surgeon. In 1525 he
is Junior of the three Wardens of the Barbers’ or Barber-Surgeons’
Company in London. In 1528 he is Upper or first Warden of the
Company, and one of the Surgeons to Henry VIII, at £20 a year,
In 1530 he is Master of the Barber-Surgeons’ Company, and is
appointed—in reversion after the death of Marcellus de la More—
Serjeant of the Surgeons, and Chief Surgeon to the King. This
Headship of his Profession, Vicary takes in 1535 or 1536, together
with its pay of £26 13s. 4d., and holds it (under Edw. VI, Q. Mary,
and Q. Elizabeth) till his death in 1561 or 1562. He is the Paget
of his great Tudor time.
In 1535, a fresh Grant is made to Vicary of either his old
twenty pounds a year, or a fresh one: p. 114, below. In 1539,
Vicary gets from Henry VIII a beneficial lease for 21 years of the
Rectory-house, tithes, &c. of the dissolvd Boxley Abbey in Kent,
close to Maidstone; and as he is a person of influence with the
King, a rich N orthamptonshire syuire, Anthony Wodehull, who has
an infant daughter, and is probably a patient of the chief Court
Surgeon, appoints Vicary as one of the Trustecs of his Will (proved
Oct. 11, 1542), with a view (no doubt) to the protection of his girl’s
property and person during her nonage. In 1541, as the acknow-
ledgd Head of his profession, Vicary is appointed the First Master
33SC69
vi Foretalk.
of the newly amalgamated Companies of Barbers and Surgeons,
and is painted—with other Surgeons, Barbers and Physicians—by
Holbein. In this year 1541, he also gets a beneficial lease for 60
years, from Sir Thos. Wyat, the poet, of lands in Boxley, Kent.
In 1542, he and his son William (also probably a Surgeon) are
appointed by Henry, Bailiffs of Boxley Manor, &c. in Kent, with
yearly salaries of £10 each. In Sept. 1546-7, Vicary is again
Master of the united Company of Barbers and Surgeons. In Dec.
1547, he marries his second wife, Alice Bucke.
In 1546-7, Henry VIII handed over Bartholomew’s (with other
Hospitals, &c.) to the City of London. He gave it a small endow-
ment (nominally £333 odd) out of tumble-down houses, which he
charged with pensions to parsons. The balance of the endowment
was but enough to keep, as patients, ‘thre or foure harlottes, then
being in chyldbedde.’ So the City set to work, raisd £1000 for
repairs, fittings, &c., practically re-opend the Hospital, for 100
patients, and, on 29 Sept. 1548, appointed Chief-Surgeon Vicary
as one of the 6 new Governors of the Hospital to act with the 6
old ones. Vicary must soon after have become Resident Surgical
Governor of the Hospital. He was re-appointed annually; he is
given the old Convent Garden in June 1551; and in June 1552 is
made ‘one of the assistants of this house for the terme of his lyffe’
(extract by Dr. N. Moore). He has 3 Surgeons under him, at £18
(1549), and then £20 (1552) a year each. The Hospital finds him
a Livery gown, and repairs his house. He holds his appointment
till his death, late in 1561, or early in 1562. That to him is due
part of the Hospital organization, and some of the beautiful unselfish
spirit shown in the City ‘ Ordre’ for Barts in 1552, we do not doubt.
This ‘Ordre’ no one can read without admiring.
In Sept. 1548, Vicary was, for the 4th time, elected Master of
the Barber-Surgeons. In 1548 too, he publisht his Anatomie—the
first in English on the subject,—but whether this was after or before
he was made a Governor of Barts, we cannot say. The book was
reprinted by the Surgeons of Barts in 1577, with a few Forewords ;
and from the unique copy of that issue, the earliest now known, our
reprint is made, with added head-lines and side-notes. Frequently
supplemented, Vicary’s little Anatomie held the field for 150 years.
(Unluckily the biographical details of an Italian doctor in one of the
added Treatises, have been lately set down to Vicary.)
Sy
Foretalk. Vil
In 1553, Queen Mary made a special grant to Vicary of the
Arrears of his Chief Court-Surgeons’ Annuity of £26 13s. 4d. which
he came into in 1536, on De la More’s death or resignation. In
1554 he was appointed Surgeon to Mary’s husband, K. Philip; and
in 1555, Philip and Mary re-granted to Vicary—his son William
being doubtless then dead—the Bailiffship of the Manor of Boxley,
&c., and the 2 Annuities of £10, which Henry VIII had granted to
Vicary and his son in 1542. Year by year Vicary quietly workt on,
doing his duty to the sick poor at Barts, and in the Barber-Surgeons’
Company. He had saved money enough by March 1557-8, to lend
his brother-in-law, Thos. Dunkyn, yeoman of St. Leonard’s, Shore-
ditch, £100, which he secures in favour of his nephew Thomas
Vicary, of Tenterden in Kent, clothier ; and possibly about this time
he buys of Jn. Joyce a house and some land next to Boxley Church,
in Kent, which he devises to his nephew Stephen Vicary, son of his
brother William, late of Boxley. In Sept. 1557-8, he is, for the 5th
and last time, Master of the Barber-Surgeons’ Company.
On Jan. 27, 1560-1, Vicary makes his Will; and he probably
dies late in 1561, or early in 1562, as the last payment to him of
his Annuity of £20 is in Sept. 1561, and his Will is proved by his
widow on April 7, 1562. Where he is buried, we have not yet been
able to find. Shortly before his death he was (says Mr. S. Young)
named in a Commission of Queen Elizabeth’s to the Barber-Surgeons’
Company to press Surgeons for her military service.
We hope in our Forewords to give further details about Vicary
and his life and times. Some are in the Appendix in this Part I,
which also contains particulars about Barts not printed before.
These we commend to our readers’ attention. The illustrations will
help to realize the London, Bartholomew’s, and Kent of the good
old Surgeon’s day. For any corrections, information, suggestions, and
notes for our Part II (which will contain a full Index), we shall be
grateful. We desire only to do justice to the old Worthy of Kent,
and the noble Hospital for which he and his fellow-citizens of
London workt in so generous a spirit. May our successors 350 years
hence be able to say of us Victorians as we can of Vicary and the
Londoners of his Tudor time: like Englishmen, they tried to do
their duty !

lished. And albeit this Treatise be small in Volume,
Notwith-

12 cretly and wisely studied and applyed, according to the
true meaning of the Author, Wee haue to tell you hereof,
that therein is great peryl, because, through ignoraunt
Practicio*ners, not knowing the Anatomie, commonly
16 doth ensue death, and seperation of soule and body.
Furthermore, whereas many good and learned men in
these our dayes, doo cease to publishe abroade in the
Englishe toung their workes and trauayles, it is, for
20 that if any one fault or blemishe, by fortune be com-

are blamed, yea, and condemned for ignoraunt men, and
errour-holders. But nowe we here cease’ from these

12 the Anatomie: for to them Galen, the Lanterne of all
Chirurgions, hath set it foorth in his Canons, to the
high glory of God, and too the erudition and know-
ledge of al those that be expertly seene and learned in
16 the noble Science of Chirurgerie. And because al the
noble Philosophers wryting vppon Chirurgerie *doo
condemne al suche persons as practise in Chirurgerie,
not knowing the Anatomie, Therefore I haue drawen
20 into certayne Lessons and smal Chapters a parte of the
Anatomie, but touching a part of euery member par-

[CHAPTER IL]
N the name of God, Amen! Heere I shal
declare vnto you shortly and breefly the say- 12
inges and the determinations of diuers auncient
Authors, in three poyntes, very expedient for al men
to knowe, that entende to vse or exercise the mysterie
or arte of Chirurgerie. The first is, to knowe what 15
thing Chirurgerie is: The Second is, how that a
Chirurgion should be chosen: And the thirde is, with
what properties a Surgion should be indued.
HE fyrst is, to know what thing Chirurgerie is. 20
Heerein I doo note the saying of Lamfranke,
whereas he sayth, Al thinges that man * would
knowe, may be knowen by one of these three thinges :
That is to say, by his name, or by his working, or els by 24
his very being and shewing of his owne properties. So
then it followeth, that in the same manner we may
know what Chirurgerie is by three thinges. First, by
his name, as thus, The Interpreters write, that Surgerie 28
is deriued oute of these wordes, Apo tes chiros, eai tou
ergou, that is too bee vnderstanded, A hand working,
1 orig. of the
Ch. I.] Surgery is Hand-working in Man's Body. 13
and so it may be taken for al handy artes. But noble
Ipocras sayth, that Surgerie is hande working in mans
body ; for the very ende and profite of Chirurgerie is
4 hande working. Nowe the seconde manner of knowing
what thing Chirurgerie is, it is the saying of Anicen to
be knowen by his beeing, for it is verely a medecinal
science: and as Galen sayth, he that wyl knowe the
8 certentie of a thing, let him not busy him selfe to
knowe only the name of that thing, but also the work-
Nowe the thirde
way to knowe what thing Chirurgerie is, It is also to
ing and the effect of the same thing.
12 be knowen by his beeing *or declaring of his owne
properties, the which teacheth vs to worke in mannes
body with handes: as thus, In cutting or opening
those partes that be whole, and in healing those partes
16 that be broken or! cut, and in taking away that that is
superfluous, as warts, wennes, skurfulas, and other
lyke. But further to declare what Galen sayth Sur-
gery is, It is the laste instrument of medecine: That is
20 to say, Dyet, Pocion, and Chirurgerie: of the whiche
three, sayth he, Dyet is the noblest and the most ver-
tuous. And thus he sayth, whereas a man may be
cured with Dyet onely, let there be geuen no maner of
24 medicine. The seconde instrument is Pocion: for and
if a man may be cured with Dyet and Pocion, let there
The thirde and
laste Instrument is Chirurgerie, through whose vertue
28 and goodness is remoued and put away many greeuous
infirmities and diseases, which might not have bene
remoued, nor yet put away, neither with Diet nor with
Pocion. And by these three meanes it is knowen what
32 thing Chirurgerie is. And this suffiseth ffor vs for
that poynt. Nowe it is knowen what thing Chirurgerie
is, there must also be chosen a man apt and mete to
minister Surgerie, or to be a Chirurgion, And in this
not be ministred any Chirurgerie.

* sign. A, iij.
He must. be
learned, expert,
clever, and well-
mannered,
poynt al Authors doo agree, that a Chirurgion should
be chosen by his complexion,! and that his complexion
be very temperate, and al his members wel propor-
tioned. For Rasis? sayth, Whose face is not seemely, it 4
is vnpossible for him for to haue good manners, And
Aristotle, the great Philosopher, writeth in his Epistles
to the noble king Alexander (as in those Epistles more
playnely doth appeare) howe hee should choose al suche 8
persons as should serue him, by the forme and shape
of the face, and al other members of the body. And
furthermore they say, he that is of an euill complexion,
there must needes folowe like conditions. Wherefore 12
it agreeth that a Chirurgion must be both of a good
and temperate complexion, as is afore rehearsed. And
principally, that he be a good lyuer, and a keeper of the
holy commaundements of God, of whom commeth al 16
cunning and grace, and that his body be not quaking,
and his hands *stedfast, his fingers long and smal, and
not trembling ; and that his left hand be as ready as
his right hande, with al his lymmes able to fulfil the 20
good workes of the soule. Nowe here isa man meete
to be made a Chirurgion. And thoughe he haue al
these good qualities before rehersed, yet is he no good
Chirurgion, but a man very fitte and meete therfore. 24
Now then, to knowe what properties and conditions
this man must haue before he be a perfect Chirurgion.
And I doo note foure thinges moste specially that euery
Chirurgion ought for to haue: The first, that he be 28
learned; the seconde, that he be expert; the thirde,
that he be ingenious; the fourth, that he be wel
manered, The first (I sayde), he ought to be learned,
and that he knowe his principles, not onely in Chirur- 32
gerie, but also in Phisicke, that he may the better
defende his Surgery. Also he ought to be seene in

knowing the Anatomie; for they be likened to a blind

letters set foorth, The fourth, I sayde, that he muste
' be wel manered, and that he haue al these good con-
ditions here folowing: First, that he be no spous-
24 breaker, nor no drunkarde. For the Philosophers say,
amongst all other thinges beware of those persons that
followe dronkennes, for they be accompted for tno men,
because they liue a life bestiall: wherfore amongst al
28 other sortes of people, they ought to be sequestred from
the ministring of medicine, Likewise a Chirurgion
must take heede that he deceiue no man with his vague
promises, for to make of a smal matter a great, because
32 he woulde be counted the more famous. And amongest
other thinges, they maye neither be flatterers, nor
mockers, nor priue backbyters of other men. Likewise

should not be hurt of the harde: The thirde is, that
the extremitie of bones and Ioyntes that be gristly,
might the easelyer be folded and moued together with-
4 out hurt: The fourth is, for that it is necessarie in
some meane places to put a grystle, as in the throte
bowel! for the sounde: The fyfth is, for that it is
needeful that some members be holden vp with a
8 grystle, as the liddes of the eyes: The sixth is, that
some limmes haue a sustayning and a drawing abrod,
as in the nose and the eares, &e, :
The Lygament is a member consimple, simple, and
12 spermatike, next in hardnes to the gristle, and of com-
plexion cold and dry, and is flexible and insensible,
and byndeth the bones together. The cause why he
is flexible and insencible is this: If it had bene
16 sensible, he mighte not haue suffred the labour and
mouing of the ioynts: and if it had not ben flexible of
his bowing, one lymme should not haue moued without
another. The se*conde profite is, that he be loyned
20 with sinews, for to make Cordes & Brawnes: The
thirde helpe is, that he be a resting place, to some
sinewes: The fourth profite is, that by him the
members that be within the body be sustayned, as the
24 matrix and kidneys, and diuers other, &c.
The Sinew is a consimiler member, simple and
spermatike, meane betweene harde and softe, and in
complexion colde and drye, and he is both flexible and

meanely sensible and flexible, and in complexion colde 4
and dry, And the Corde or Tendon is thus made:
The synewes *that come from the brayne & from
Mynuea, and go to moue the members, is intermingled
with the Lygamentes; and when the Synewes and 8
Lygamentes are intermingled together, then is made a
corde. And three causes I perceyue why the Cordes
were made; The fyrst is, that the Synewe alone is so
sensible that he may not suffer the great labour and 12
trauel of mouing, without the felowship and strength
of the Lygament that is insencible, and that letteth his
creat feeling, and bringeth him to a perfect temper-
aunce, and so the Cordes moue the limmes to the wil 16
of the soule. And this Corde is associated with a
simple flesh, and so therof is made a brawne or a
wuskel, on whom he might. rest after his trauel. And
this Brawne is called a Muskle. Then when this 20
Corde is entred into this brawne, he is departed into
many smal threeds, the whiche be called ‘wylle.’” And
this wyl hath three properties: The fyrst is in length,
by whose vertue that draweth, it hath might: The 24
seconde’ in breadth, by whome the vertue that casteth
out hath might: The third in thwartnes, in whom the
vertue *that holdeth hath might: and at the ende of
the Brawne those threedes be gathered to make another 28

vtilities why it was ordeyned: the fyrst is, that it de- -
fendeth the Brayne from too muche heate, and too muche
colde, and many other outwarde noyances: The seconde
20 is, it.maketh the forme or shape of the head to seeme
For if the head were
not heyred, the face and the heade should seeme but one
thing ; and therefore the heyre formeth and shapeth the
24 head from the face: The thirde is, that *by the cullour
of the heyre is witnessed & knowen the complexion

28 them. For if there were a sad thing, as the skinne or
other, of the same nature as the heyre is, the fumosities
of the brayne might not haue passed throwe it so
lightly, as it doth by the heyre.
32 The Skinne of the head is more lazartus,! thicker,
and more porrus than any other Skinne of any other
member of the body. And two causes I note why:
One is, that it keepeth or defendeth the brayne from
36 too muche heate and colde, as doth the heyre: The

other, it discusseth to the common wittes of al thinges
that noyeth outwardly, for the heyre is insencible : The
thirde cause why the skinne of the head is more thicker
then any other skinne of the body, is this, that it 4
keepeth the brayne the more warme, and is the better
fence for the brayne, and it bindeth and keepeth the
bones of the head the faster together.
Next followeth the Fleshe, the which is al Mus- 8
culus or Lazartus fleshe, lying vpon pericranium with-
out meane.! *And it is made of subtile Wylle, and of
simple fleshe, Synewes, Veines, & Arteirs. And why
the fleshe that is al musculus or lazartus in euery 12
member of a mans body was made, is for three causes :
the fyrst is, that by his thicknes he shoulde comforte
the digestion of other members that lye by him: The
seconde is, that through him euery member is made
the more formelyer, and taketh the better shape: The
thirde is, that by his meanes euery member of the
body draweth to him norishing, the which others
withholde to’ put foorth from them: as it shal be 20
more playnlyer spoken of in the Anathomie of the

Next followeth Pericranium,? or the couering of the
bones-of the head. But heere it is to be noted of a 24
Veyne and an Artere that commeth betweene the flesh
and this Pericranium, that nourisheth the vtter part of

12 this Pericranium. Also, why this panicle Duramater
is set from the skul, I note two causes: the first A Kepslepart
is, that if the Duramater shoulde haue touched the .
skul, it shoulde lightly haue bene hurt with the
16 hardnes of the bone: The seconde cause is, that the
matter that commeth of woundes made in the head
pearsing the skul, shoulde by it the better be defended
and kepte from Piamater, and hurting of the brayne.
20 And next ynto this panicle there is another pannicle
called Pia mater, or meeke mother, because it is so 9, Pia mater,
softe and tender vnto the brayne. Of whose creation
it is to be noted as of Duramater, for the original of
24 their fyrst creation is of one kind, both from the Hart
and the Lyuer, and is mother of the very substaunce of
the brayne. Why it is called Piamater, is, for because
it is so softe and tender ouer the brayne, that it nour- which
28 isheth the brayne and feedeth it, as doth a louing feads the Brain,
mother vnto her tender childe or babe ; for it is not so papi as ee
tough and harde as is Duramater. In this panicle Pia

Ventricles,
Veynes and Arteirs that are planted,rame*fying through-
out al his substaunce, geuing to the brayne both spirite
and lyfe. And this Pannicle doth circumuolue or lappe
al the substaunce of the brayne: and in same places of 4
the brayne the Veynes and the Arteirs goo foorth of
him, and enter into the diuisions of the brayne, and
there drinketh of the brayne substaunce into them,
asking of the hart to them the spirite of lyfe or breath, 8
and of the Lyuer, nutriment. And the aforesayde
spirite or breath taketh a further digestion, and there
it is made animal; by the elaboration! of the spirite
vital, is turned and made animall. Furthermore, why 12
there bee moo pannicles ouer the brayne then one, is »
this : If there had beene but one pannicle onely, eyther
it must haue beene harde, or soft, or meane betweene
both. If it had beene harde, it should haue hurt. the 16
braine by his hardnes: if it had beene soft, it shoulde
haue beene hurt ‘of the harde bone: and yf it had
beene but meanely neyther hard nor soft, it should
haue hurt the braine by his roughnes, and also haue 20
beene hurte of the harde bone. Therefore God and
nature haue ordeyned two Pannicles, the *one harde,
and the other softe: the harder to be a meane betweene
the softe and the bone; and the softer to be a meane 24
betweene the harder and the braine it selfe. Also
these Pannicles be colde and dry of complexion, and
spermatike.
Next is the Brayne, of which it is marueylous to 28.

and made animal. And ye shal vnderstande, that these
two be the best kept partes of al the body; for a man
shal rather dye, then any of these should suffer any 12
manner of greefes from withoutfoorth ; and therefore
God hath set them farre from the hart. Heere I note
the saying of Haly Abbas,? of the comming of smal
Arteirs from the hart, of whom (sayth he) is made a 16
marucylous net or caule, in the which caule is inclosed
the *Brayne, and in that place is layde the spirite of
feeling ; from that place hath the spirite of feeling his
first creation, and from thence passeth to other mem- 20
bers, &c. Furthermore, ye shal vnderstand that the
brayne is a member colde and moyst of complexion,
thinne, and meanely‘ viscous, and a principal member,
and an official member, and spermatike. And fyrst, 24
why he is a principal member, is, because he is the
gouernour or the treasurie of the fyue wittes: And why
he is an official member, is, because he hath the effect
of feeling and stering: And why he is colde and moyst, 28
is, that he shoulde, by his coldnes and moystnes, abate
and temper the exceeding heate and drought that com-

meth from the harte: Also, why he is moyst, is, that it
should be the more indifferenter and abler to euery
thing that shoulde be reserued or gotten into him:
4- Also, why it is soft, is, that it should geue place and
fauour to the vertue of stering: And why it is meanely
viscous, is, that his senewes should be strong and
meanely toughe, and that they shoulde not be letted in
8 their working throughe his ouermuche hardnes. Heere
Galen *demaundeth a question, which is this, Whether
that feeling and mouing bee brought to Nerues by
one or by diuers? or whether the aforesayde thing be
12 brought substancially or radically. The matter (sayth
he) is so harde to searche and be vnderstoode, that it
were much better to let it alone and passe ouer it,
Aristotle, intreating of the Brayne, sayth: The Brayne
16 is a member continually mouing and ruling al other
members of the body, geuing vnto them both feeling
and mouing; for if the Brayne be let,! al other mem-
bers be let: and if the Brayne be wel, then al other
20 members [of] the body be the better disposed. Also
the brayne hath this propertie, that it moueth and fol-
loweth the mouing of the Moone: for in the waxing of
the Moone, the Brayne followeth vpwardes ; and in the
24 wane of the Moone, the brayne discendeth downwardes,
and vanisheth in substaunce of vertue: for then the
Brayne shrinketh togeather in it selfe, and is not so
fully obedient to the spirit of feeling. And this is
and also

28 proued in menne that be lunatike or madde,
nesse, that *be moste greeued in the beginning of the
newe Moone, and in the latter quarter of the Moone.
32 Wherefore (sayth Aristotle) when it happeneth that
the Brayne is eyther too drye or too moyst, then can it
not worke his kinde: for then is the body made colde:
then are the spirites of lyfe melted and resolued away:

the bone is of the Coronal bone. Howebeit there
it is made broade, as yf ther were a double bone,
whiche maketh the forme of the Browes. It is called
the Forhead or Front, from one Eare to the other, and
from the rootes of the Eares of the head before, vnto y°
browes. But the cause why the Browes were set *and
reared vp, was, that they shoulde defende the Eyes from
noyaunce withoutfoorth : And they be ordeyned with
heare, to put by the humour or sweat that cometh from
the head. Also the Browes do helpe the Eyeliddes,"
and do beautifie and make fayre the face; for he that

Muscle, it might happen the Browe to hang ouer the

The Eare is a member semely and grystlye, able to
be folden without, and is the orgayne or instrument of
hearing: It is of complexion colde and drye. But why
the eare was set vp out of the head, is this, that the
16 soundes that be very fugitiue should lurke and abyde
vnder his shadowe, tyl it were taken of the instrumentes
of hearing : Another cause is, that it should keepe the
hole that it standeth ouer, from thinges falling in, that
20 might hinder the hearing. The senewes that are the
Orgayns or Instrumentes of hearing, spring each from
the Brayne, from whence the seuen payre of senewes do

fyrst payre, for in the Anatomie they be the first paire
of senewes that appeare of al senen. And it is shewed
by Galen, that these senews be hollowe as a reede, for
4 two causes. The fyrst is, that the visible spirit might
passe freely to the Eyes: The second is, that the
forme of visible thinges mighte freely be presented
to the common wits. Nowe marke the gooing foorth
8 of these senewes: When these senewes goo out from
the substaunce of the Brayne, he commeth through
the Piamater, of whose substaunce he taketh a Pan-
nicle or a Cote: and the cause why he taketh that
12 Pannicle, is to keepe him from noying;! and before
they enter into the skul, they meete, and are vnited
into one senewe the length of halfe an inche: and
then they depart? agayne into two, and eche goeth
16 into one eye, entring through the brayne panne; and
these senews be called Nerwi optici. And three causes
I finde why these Nerues are ioyned in one before they
passe into the Eye: First, if it happen any diseases in
20 one eye, the other *should receyue all the visible spirite
that before came to bothe: The seconde is, that all
thinges that we see shoulde not seeme two: for if they
had not beene ioyned together, euery thing shoulde
24 haue seemed two, as it doth to a worme, and to other
beastes: The thirde ix, that the Senewe might stay and
helpe the other. But herevpon Lamfranke? accordeth
muche, saying, that these two Senewes come together
28 to the Eyes, and take a Panikle both of Piamater and
of Duramater; and when they enter into the Orbyt of
the Eye, there the extremities are spread abroade, the
which are made of three substances: that is to say, of

be ingendred three Tunikles or Cotes, as thus: Of the
substance that is taken from Duramater, is ingendred
the fyrst cote that is called Secondina: and of Nerui
optici is ingendred the third cote that is called Retina: 4
and eche of them is more subtiller then other, & goeth
about the humours without meane. And it is to be
vnderstoode, that eche of these three Tunicles be
diuided, and so they make sixe: That is to *say, iij. 8
of the partes of the brayne, and three of the parts out-
wardes, and one of Pericranium that couereth the bones
of the head, whiche is called Coniunctiua. And thus
you maye perceyue the springing of them, as thus: of 12
Duramater springeth Sclirotica and Cornua: of Pia-
mater springeth Secondina and Vnia: and of Nerui
optici springeth Coniunctiua.
Nowe to speake of the humors, which be three ; and 16
their places are the middle of the Eyes: Of the whiche
the fyrst is Humor Vitrus, because he is lyke glasse, in
colour very cleare, redde, liquit, or thinne ; and he is in
the inward side next vnto the brayne: and it is thin, 20
because the nutritiue blood of the Crystalline might
passe, as water through a sponge should be clensed and
made pure, and also that the visible spirite mighte the
lightlyer passe through him from the Brayne. And he 24
goeth about the Crystaline humour, vntil he meete with
Albuginus humour, which is set in the vttermost parte
of the Eye. And in the myddest of these humours
Vitrus and Albuginus, is set the Crystalline humour, in 28
whiche is set principally the syght of *the Eye. And
these humours be separated and inuolued with the Pan-
nicles aforesayde ; betweene euery Humour a Panicle.
And thus is the Eye compound and made. But to 32
speake of euery Humour and euery Pannicle in his due
order and course, it would aske a long processe, and
a long Chapter: and this is sufficient for a Chirurgion.
Nowe to begin at the Nose: You shall vnderstande 36

that from the Brayne there commeth .ij. Senews to the
holes of the brayne pan, where beginneth the con-
cauitie of the Nose; and these two be not properly
4 senewes, but organes or instrumentes of smelling, and
haue heades lyke teates or pappes, in whiche is re-
ceyued the vertue of smelling, and representing it to
the common wittes. Ouer these two is set Colatorium,}
8 that we cal the Nose-thrils: and it is set betweene the
Eyes, vnder the vpper part of the Nose. And it is to
be noted, that this concauitie or ditche was made for
two causes: The fyrst is, that the ayre that bringeth
12 foorth the spirite of smelling, might reste in it tyll it
were taken of the organ or instrument of smelling: The
seconde cause is, that *the superfluities of the Brayne
might be hydden vnder it vntill it were clensed. And
16 from this concauitie there goeth two holes down into ‘y®
mouth, of which there is to be noted three profites ;
The fyrste is, that when a mans mouth is close, or
when he eateth or sleepeth, that then the ayre might
20 come through them to the Lunges, or els a mans mouth
should alwayes be open: The seconde cause is, that
they helpe to the relation of the forme of the Nose:
for it is sayd, ‘a man speaketh in his Nose, when any
94 of these holes be stopped: “Lhe thirde cause is, that
the concauitie might be clensed by them when a man
snuffeth the Nose, or draweth into his mouth inwardly.
The Nose is a member consimple or official, appearing
28 without the face, somewhat plicable, because it shoulde
the better be clensed. And it is to be perceyued that
it is compounde and made of skinne and Lazartus
fleshe, and of two bones standing in maner triangle-
32 wise, whose extremities be ioyned in one part of the
Nose with the Coronal bone, and the nether extremities

Also there be two concauities or holes, that if one
were stopped the other should serue: Also there is in £
the Nose two Muskles to helpe the working of hys
office. And Galen sayth, that the Nose shapeth the
Face moste; for where the Nose lacketh (sayth he), al
the rest of the face is the more vnseemely. ‘The Nose 8
should be of a meane bignes, and not to exceede in
length or breadth, nor in highnesse. For Aristotle
sayth, yf the Nose-thrills be too thinne or to wyde, by
great drawing in of ayre, it betokeneth great straightnes 12
of hart and indignation of thought. And therefore it
is to be noted, that the shape of the members of the
body betokneth and iudgeth the affections and wyll of
the Soule of man, as the Philosopher sayth. 16
The temples be called the members of the head,
and they haue that name because of continuall mouing.

vital is sente from the hart to the brayne by Arteirs ; 20
and by veynes and nutrimental blood, where the

4 Muscles commeth Nerues from the brayne, to geue them
feeling and mouing: and also there commeth to them
many Arteirs and Veines, and cheefly about the tem-
ples, and the angles or corners of the Eyes, and the
8 Lippes. And as the Philosophers say, the cheefe
beau*tie in man is in the cheekes; and there the com-
plexion of man is most knowen : as thus, if they be full,
ruddy, and meddled with temperate whitenes, and not
12 fat in substaunce, but meanely? fleshly, it betokeneth
hotte and moyst of compl[e]xion, that is, sanguin and
temperate in culler, And if they be white coloured,
without medling of rednes, and in substaunce fat and
16 soft, quauering, it betokeneth excesse and superfluitie
of colde and moyst, that is flematike: And if they
be browne in colour, or cytrin, yelowe, redde, and thin,
and leane in substaunce, betokeneth great drying and
20 heate, that is cholerike: And if they be as it were
blowen in colour, and of little fleshe in substaunce, it
betokeneth excesse and superfluitie of drynes and colde ;
and that is melancolie, And as Auicen sayth, the Checkes
24 doo not only shewe the diuersities of complexions, but
also the affection and wil of the hart: for by the affec-
tion of the hart, by sodaine ioy or dreede, he waxcth
eyther pale or redde. The bones or bony partes, fyrste

other cause is, that they should be helpers to the pro-
nouncing of the speache. The teeth? are members *con-
simile or official, spermatike, and hardest of any other
members, and are fastened in the cheke bones, and 24
were ordeyned for three causes: First, that they should

might be the sooner digested: The seconde, that they

and Arteirs, ordeyned principally for three causes:
The first is, that when a man eateth, the Toung mighte
helpe to turne the meate tyll it were wel chewed:

The bones of the great arme, that is to say, from the

8 Adiutor bone, whose vpper ende entreth into the con-

bone, hauing no felowe, and it is hollowe, and ful of
marowe ; and it is also crooked, because it shoulde be

because it should be lighter and more obedient to the
steering or mouing of the Brawnes. F urthermore, this
bone hath two emynences, or two knobs in his nether

To speake of Senewes, Lygamentes, Cordes and
Brawnes: Here fyrst ye shal vnderstand that there
commeth from Mynuca,’ thorowe the Spondels of the
necke, foure senewes, which most playnly do appeare in 16
sight, as thus: one commeth into the *vpper parte of
the arme, another into the nether parte, and one into
the inner side, and another into the vtter side of
y® arme; and they bring from the brayne and from 20
Minuca, both feeling and mouing into the armes, as
thus: The senewes that come from the Brayne and
from the marow of the backe that is called Minuca,
when they come to the iuncture of the shoulder, there 24
they are mixed with the Lygamentes of the selfe
shoulder, and there the Lygamentes receyue both feel-
ing and mouing of them; and also in their medling
together, they are made a Corde or a Tendon, Three 28

name they haue of the oylie graine Sesame, the which they somewhat resemble.’

causes I find why the senewes were medled with the
Lygamentes: The first cause is, that the excellent feel
ing of the senewes, whiche many waies be made weery
4 by their continual mouing, should be repressed by the ‘which relieves
insenciblenesse of the Lygaments: The seconde is, that
the littlenesse of the Senewes shoulde be fulfilled

8 the feeblenesse of the senewe, that is insufficiente and
too feeble to vse his offices, but by the strength and and sbrensiliens

three causes I finde why that the simple fleshe is

drought he getteth through his manifold mouing. The

Midriffe was ordeyned : First, that it should diuide the
spirituals from the nutrates: The seconde, that it
should keepe the vital colour or heate to dissende
downe to the nutrates: The last is, that the malicious

vertue retentiue, all thinges are withholden and kept, 8
vntil nature haue wrought his kinde: And by the
vertue expulsiue, is put foorth al thinges when Nature
prouoketh any thing to be done. Galen sayth that
woundes or incisions be more perillous in the middest 12
of the wombe then about the sides, for there the partes
be more tractable, then any other partes be. Also he
sayth, that in wounds persing the womb there shal not
be made * good incarnation, except Sifac be sewed with 16
Myrac.
Nowe to come to y® parts conteyned within: Fyrst,
that which appeareth next vnder the Sifac is Omentum,!
or Zirbus,? the which is a pannicle couering the stomacke 20
and the Intrals, implanted with many Veynes and
Arteirs, and not a little fatnes ordeyned to keepe moyst
the inwarde partes. This Zirbus is an official member,
and is compound of a veyne and an Arteir, the which 24
entreth and maketh a line of the vtter tunikle of the
stomacke, vnto whiche tunikle hangeth the Zirbus,
and couereth al the guttes downe to the shayre. Two
causes I finde why they were ordeyned : one is, that 28
they shuld defend y® nutratiues outwardly : the seconde
is, that through his owne power & vertue he should
strength and comfort the digestion of al the Nutrates,
because they are more feebler then other members be, 32
bicause they haue but a thin wombe or skinne, &c.

Next Zirbus, appeareth the Intrals or guttes, of
which Galen saith, that the Guttes were ordeined in
the fyrst creation to conuey the drosse of the meate

And here it is to be noted that there be sixe portions
*of one whole Gutte, which both in man and beast
beginneth at the nether mouth of the stomacke, and
8 so continueth foorth to the end of the Fundament,
Neuerthelesse he hath diners shapes and formes, and
diuers operations in the body; and therfore he hath
diuers names. And here-vpon the Philosophers say,
12 that y° lower wombe of a man is like vnto the wombe
of a swine. And lyke as the stomack hath two
tunikles, in like maner haueal the Guttes two tunikles.
The fyrst portion of the Guttes is called Duodenum,
16 for he is .xij. ynches of length, and couereth the nether
parte of the stomacke,! and receyeth al the drosse of
y* stomacke: The second portion of the Guttes is
called Ietunium,? for he is euermore emptie ; for to him
20 lyeth euermore the chest of the Gal, beating him sore,

sayth, that the stomacke was ordeyned principally for

is, that the stomacke should be a sacke or chest to al : ae on

members of the body. The stomacke is made of two ae oe
pannicles, of which the inner is N erueous, and the
vtter Carneous. This inner pannicle hath musculus

by the seconde necke, he sendeth to the bottome of

was ordeyned there: The first is, that by the melan-

heate, spirite, and lyfe. And in the same maner there
4 commeth a veyne from the Lyuer, that bringeth blood
to nourishe the kydnes, called ‘blood nutrimental.’ The
grease of these kydnes or fatnes is as of other inwarde
members, but it is an official member, made of thinne
8 blood, congeled & cruded *through colde: and there
is ordeyned the greater quantitie in his place, because
it should receyue and temper the heate of the kydnes,
which they haue of the biting sharpnesse of the water.

And first of the partes conteyning, as of Myrac, Sifac,
and Zirbus, there is ynough spoken of in the Anatomie
of the wombe.! But as for the bones of the Hanches,
There be of the partes of the backe, three Spondels 8
of Ossa sacri,? or of the Hanches, and three cartilaginis
spondels of Ossa caude,? called The tayle bonne. And
thus it is proued, that there is in euery man, woman

numbered: In the Necke .vij.,in the Ridge .xij., in
the Reynes .v., and in the Hanches .vj. And it is to
be noted, that euery spondel is hollowe in the middest,
through which holownesse passeth Nuca from the 1
Brayne, or the marowe of the backe. And some
Authors say, that Mynuca is of the same substaunce
that the * Brayne is of, for it is like in substaunce, and

4in woman is an official member, compounde and
Nerueous, and in complexion colde and dry. And it
is the felde of mans generation; and it is an instru-
ment susceptiue, that is to say, a thing receying or
8 taking: and her proper place is betweene the bladder
and the gutte Longaon:; the likenes of it is as it were
a yarde reversed or turned inwarde, hauing testikles
likewise, as aforesaid: also the Matrix hath two con-
12 cauities or selles, and no more; but al beasts haue as
many selles as they haue pappes heades. Also it hath
a long necke lyke an vrinal; & in euery necke it hath
a mouth, that is to saye, one within, and an other
16 without. The inner in the tyme of conception is
shutte, and the vtter parte is open, as it was before:
and it hath in the middest a Lazartus pannicle, whiche
is called in Laten Jentigo.! And in the creation of
20 this Pannicle is founde two vtilities: The first is, that
by it goeth forth the vrin, or els it should be shed
through*out al the Vulua: The seconde is, that when
a woman doth set hir thies abrode, it altereth the ayre
24 that commeth to the Matrix for to temper the heat.
Furthermore, the necke that is betweene these two
foresayde mouthes, in her concauitie hath many in-
uolutions and pleates, ioyned together in the maner of
28 Rose leaues before they be fully spread or ripe, and so
they be shut togeather as a Purse mouth, so that
nothing may passe foorth but vrin, vntil the time of

man and the woman, with consent & wyl of al
members, and is shed into the place of concey*uing,
where, through the vertue of Nature, it is gathered
together in the selles of the matrix or the mother, in
whom—by the way of the working of mans seede,
and by the way-of suffering of the womans seede
mixte together, so that eche of them worketh in other,
and suffereth in other—there is ingendred Embreon.
And further it is to be noted, that this sparme that
commeth both of man and woman, is made & gathered
of the most best and purest drops of blood in all the
body ; and by the labour and chafing of the testikles
or stones, this blood is turned into another kinde, and
is made sparme. And in man it is hotte, white, &
thicke, wherfore it may not spread nor runne abroade
of it selfe, but runneth and taketh temperaunce of the
womans sparme, which hath contrarie qualities ; for the
And as
some Authors holde opinion, when this matter is gathered
into the right side of the matrix, then it happeneth a
male kinde; and likewise on the lefte, the female;
and where the vertue is most, there it sauoureth most.
And further it is to be noted, that lyke as the Renet!
of the Cheese hath by him selfe the * way or vertue of
working, so hath the mylke by way of suffering: and
as the Renet and mylke make the cheese, so doth the
sparme of man and woman make the generation of

Furthermore it is sayde, that of this Embreon is
ingendred the Hart, the Lyuer, the Brayne, Nerues,
veynes, Arteirs, Cordes, Lygamentes, Skinnes, Gristles,
& Bones, receyuing to them by kindly vertue the 4
menstrual blood, of whiche is ingendred both fleshe
and fatnes. And as wryters say, the fyrst thing that
is shapen be the principals, as is the Harte, Lyuer, and
Brayne. For of the Hart springeth the Arteirs, of the 8
Lyuer the Veynes, and of the Brayne the Nerues : and
when these are made, Nature maketh & shapeth Bones
and grystles to keepe & saue them, as the bones of the
head for the * Brayne, the Brest-bones and the Ribbes 12
for the Harte and the Lyuer. And after these springeth
al other member, one after another. And thus is the
childe bred foorth in four degrees, as thus: The first
is, when the sayde sparme or seede is at the fyrst as it 16
were mylke: The seconde is, when it is turned from
that kinde into another kinde, [it] is yet but as a lumpe
of blood; and this is called of Ypocras, Fettus:! The
thirde degree is, when the principals be shapen, as 20
the Hart, lyuer, and Brayne: The fourth and laste, as
when al the other members be perfectly shapen, then
it receyeth the soule wyth life and breath ; and then it
beginneth to moue it-selfe alone. Nowe in these foure 24
degrees aforesayde, in the fyrst, as milke, it continueth
vij. dayes: in the seconde, as Feetus, ix. dayes: in the
thirde, as a lumpe of fleshe ingendring the principals,
the space of ix. dayes: and the fourth, vnto the tyme 28
of ful perfection of al the whole members, is the space
of xviij. dayes: So is there xlvj. dayes from the day
of conception vnto the day of ful perfection and
receyuing of the soule, as God best knoweth. 32

of the payments, including the last, are stated to have been made ‘ to his own

The reader will see that this Annuity of £20 for Wages and
Medicines, is not made under the original Grant of 29 April 1530
(p. 89), but under a fresh Grant of Sept. 20,1535. As it is like
Marcellus de la More’s in being ‘for Wages and Medicines,’ we
suppose that More must have disappeared after receiving his last
£13 6s. 8d. at Easter 1535 (p. 111 above, note 2), and that Vicary
got a fresh Grant from Henry on Sept. 20, 1535, to save him the
trouble of proving More’s death, or resolve not to come back to
England, or otherwise act as Serjeant of the Surgeons, We presume
that this Annuity was in substitution of the £5 a quarter which
Vicary had as one of the Surgeons to the King during More’s life
(see Forewords) ; but it may have been an extra one. Readers must
judge for themselves.

The Book for 3 and 4 Eliz, Oct. 1, 1561 to Sept. 30, 1562 is
unluckily missing; tho’ in it we should hardly find the wonted
mortuus when a payee died after the Account was made up, as Vicary
must have died late in 1561, or early in 1562.
In the Account for 4 and 5 Eliz., Oct. 1, 1562, to 30 Sept. 1563,

EXTRACTS FROM THE CITY OF LONDON REPERTORIES,
JOURNALS, &. AT THE GUILDHALL,
1. Those relating to the Foundation of Bartholomew’s, and to Vicary,
and to his Governorship of the Hospital.
The Act 37 Hen. VIII, ch. 28, past on Feb. 4, 1536, gave the
King all the small Monasteries, &c. whose land was not worth above
£200 a year. After this, the larger Monasteries, &. were gradually
surrenderd to him more or less voluntarily. The Act 31 Hen. VILE
ch. 13 (of the Parliament held, 28 April to 28 June, 1539), vested
in the King the lands of all Monasteries, &c. theretofore! or thereafter
dissolvd. The Priory and Hospital of St. Bartholomew’s, &c. were
surrenderd to Henry VIII on Oct, 25, 1539.2 Foreknowing this,
the City of London saw that it would be left without any houses for
its poor, well or ill, and accordingly askt the King to give them some,
1539, Feb. 11. The City Petition to Henry VIII for the
Hospitals, &¢.

1 645 abbeys, 152 colleges, and 129 hospitals.—Toone,
* Dugdale does not Say expressly when the Hospital was surrenderd to
Henry ; but as it was originally ‘given to the neighbouring priory, and was in
many things subject to it,’ tho’ it had a distinct estate (Monast. Angl. vol, Vi,
pt. 2, p. 626, col. 1), we assume that it past to the King with the surrender of
the Priory by Robert Fuller on Oct, 25, 1539

° This first Petition to Henry VIII is (we find) printed from the City’s
Journal 14, leaf 129, as the Appendix No. I to the “Memoranda. , relating to

This Book or Petition sent to the King, is enterd in Journal 14,
leaf 129, between an entry of 4 March, 1539, and another of 6
March, 1539, so that we may perhaps date the presentation of it,
5 March, 1539. It is printed in the Memoranda re'ating to The
Royal Hospitals 1836, and its reprint of 1863, Appendix, p. 1, where
its date is given as 1538, without any note of ‘ old style.’

For 5 years after the above City Petition or Petitions of 1539
(p. 124), nothing was done by Henry in answer to them. Then he
issued Letters Patent of 23 June 1544, creating a new Bartholomew’s
Hospital, a Corporation of a Master (a priest) and 4 Chaplains, to
whom he gave the site, buildings, and church of the old Hospital of
St. Bartholomew’s the Lgss, and all its jewels, goods, and chattels,
but without any other endowment. (The englishing of these Letters
Patent of 23 June 1544 is printed as Appendix II to the Royal
Hospitals, (1836, and) 1863, p. 4—7. The Patent itself is in the
Patent Rolls of 36 Hen. VIII, part 2, membrane 41.
The City of course wanted its Hospitals endowd, in part at
least. On Nov. 23, 1545, Parliament met, and by the Act 37
Hen. VIII, ch. 4, confirmd all Surrenders of Monasteries, &c. made
to the King, set aside all fraudulent and other grants, leases, &c.
of Monastery lands, and empowerd his Commissioners to enter and
seize such lands. In Dee. 1545, the City appointed a Poor-Relief
Committee. In 1546 they agreed to endow the Hospitals jointly
with the King. In 1547, they got the work well under way ; and
- in 1548 appointed their first Surgeon-Governor of Barts, Thomas
Vicary, who soon became Resident Governor, and (practically) Chief
Surgeon.

On 24 April, 3 Eliz. 1561, ‘A Precept for the Poore yn the
Hospitalls’ was issued by the Lord Mayor, appointing Committecs
to sit with the Governors of the Hospitals, to collect weekly Alms
for the poor in the several City-Wards, and not allow foreign (or
strange) beggars or other poor to beg in the parishes. Among the
Governors told off to act with the Committees for the Wards of
Farringdon Without, Aldersgate and Cripplegate, was the Resident
Governor of Bartholomew’s, “‘ M* Vycars,” our Thomas Vicary. This
Precept, with its names of Committees and Governors, is printed from
the Guildhall-Records Journal 17, lf 310, in The Royal Hospitals
(1836) as Appendix XIV, p. 107—111; ed. 1862, p. 100—104. See

Stephen Soame, knight, Maior, Sir John Harte, knight, president,

We don’t find any further entry relating to this matter, but have
no doubt that the Committee’s decision was in favour of Barts, and
that the children were shifted to Christ’s Hospital, especially as Sir
Thomas Lowe was then President of Barts, and Sir Thomas Hayes
and Master Nicholas Stile, Alderman, were Governors : see Repertory

imprisonement of their bodies, at the discretion of the said Lord

‘mansione house, yarde, gardyn, orchard, or other whatsouer place’

The Colne runs into the Thames at Staines in Middlesex. On Nov. 14,
1609, and 23 April, 1610 (in consequence of a charge from Jas, I’s ‘owne
mouth’), the Common Council appointed Committees to guard against the
Plague, to see to new buildings and their inmates, &e. ‘And alsoe for taking
care of apprehending of all sortes of Rogues, vagabondes, and idle persons, to
be punished and delt with according to the lawes and Statutes of this Realme,
Or otherwise for sending such of them as shalbe found within the Cyttie, to

On May 3, 1611, order was made for the continuance of the Committees and
their work: Rep, 30, leaf 112, back.
172 App. II. 4. The grand March- Past, May 1539.
1539. Muster and March of London Citizens before
Henry VIII at Westminster.
On May 8, 1539, was a grand Muster of the Citizens of London
before Henry VIII at Westminster. Armd and in gala array, they
marcht from Aldgate in 3 battalions, and the function is described
enthusiastically by some predecessor of Ben Jonson in the office of
City Chronologer or Chronicler, afterwards held by Thomas Mid-
dleton and Francis Quarles (Remembrancia, 305, 306). His descrip-
tion takes up 7 pages of the Letter Book P, leaves 202-5.1 Had not
our Appendix been so full of other details, we should certainly have
printed (or reprinted) this picture of martial City life; but as matters
stand, we must content ourselves with an extract showing where
the ‘Surgeons’ (the small ‘Fellowship of Surgeons’) were, for the
Barber-Surgeons do not appear. We at first supposed that the
Chronicler had naturally sunk the less dignified ‘ Barbers’ on this
magnificent occasion, but we now think that the Barber-Surgeons, as
a poor Company, could not, or would not, go to the cost of the gay
white sarcenet coats which the other Citizen-soldiers bought for this
grand march-past.
The cause of this manifestation of loyal feeling was, that the
King, having been informd by trusty friends ‘that the cancarde &
venemous serpent, Pawle, Bysshop of Rome [Pope Paul III], by that
Archetraytour Reignolde Poole, enemye to Godes worde & his owne
natraH countrey, had moved, excyted & styrre@ dyuerse greate Prynces
& Potentates of Crystendome, not alonely to envade this Realme of
England with mortal warre, but also by fyer & sworde to extermyn
& vtterly to destroy the hole nacéon & generacéon of y® same.’ Henry
had accordingly gone to the coast, built blockhouses, got his navy
. ready, orderd musters of all able men, reports of armour, &c. all over
the country and in London. These musters had been made in
London, and all the ablest men pickt out. The King promist to sce
the Londoners march past him at Westminster. So they bought
silk coats, silk helmet scarves, brooches, feathers, chains, gilded
their armour and poleaxes, and at 6 a.m. on the eventful 8th of
May, musterd in the fields in the East of London, which ‘ were alt
couered with men in bryght harnes with glystering wepons.’ They
formd 3 Battalions, Vicary was, we fear, not let into the Second,

9, the Lord Mayor, Sir Wm. Forman, in gilt armour, and over it a

gold chain round his neck, and on his head a black velvet cap with a
rich jewel in it; his horse had crimson velvet trappings embroiderd
with gold, and he was attended by four footmen in white satin hose
puft with white sareenet ; 10. his two Pages in crimson velvet and
cloth of gold, on prancing coursers trapt with bells and buttons of

The Beadle drew his lash thro’ his left hand full of red ochre, and left a red
stripe on the culprit’s back, but didn’t hurt him. The Constable thrasht the
3eadle with his cane, and a lass pulld the Constable’s head back by his club

marry ‘ Margaret Johnson, spinster,’ of the City of London, at
St. Margaret, Lothbury, on 23 Jan. 1574-5,— Chester.
3 Boxley is two and a half miles N.E. of Maidstone. As
Vicary “was at first a meane practiser in Maidstone ... untill
the King advanced him for curing his sore legge” (Manning-
ham’s Diary, p. 51), it was but natural that he should buy land
close to Maidstone, and also ask the King for part of the Boxley
Abbey property, and get it.
4 Henry VIII's twenty-one years’ lease to Thos. Vicary of
the tithes and glebe of Boxley Rectory, and the capital messuage
and buildings belonging to it, and the monastery’s ten pieces of
- land, was granted in 1537, and therefore expired in 1558.—Has-
ted’s Kent, ii. 135. See p.91, above. ° No ‘saide’ in filed copy.

™ The Poet, born at Allington Castle, Kent, in 1503; died
at Sherborne, Dorset, Oct. 1542, He was a great favourite of
Henry VIII, though he was twice tried for his life. Had this
Lease anything to do with the fact, that on October 5, 1542,
Henry VIII granted to Thomas Vicary, and his son William,
for the life of the longest liver of them, the office of Bailiff of
the Manor of Boxley and all other Manors there belonging to
the late Abbey? See Hasted’s Kent, ii. 125, and p, 93 and 179,
above, The Vicarys may have afterwards surrendered this post
to the King, as in 1555 it was regranted to Thomas Vicary the
father—no doubt after his son’s death—by K., Philip and Queen
Mary : p. 96, above.

1 The Proof of the Will is also entered in the Probate Act
Book, July 1559 to 1565, with a sidenote as to the Grant of
Letters of Administration to Stephen Vicary.
2 A later sidenote says “v'? Julij 1576: emanauit commissio
Stephano Vicars, nepoti dicti defunct, ad administrandwm
bona et credita eiusdem defuncti per dictam executricem
defunctam non administrata, de bene.”
3 The sidenotes are ‘Ciuitatis London,’ and ‘Fedis. / In-
ventorium exhibitum, primo,’ meaning that Stephen Vicary
was of the City of London, that he had till the Feast of St.
Faith’s [October 6] to exhibit his Inventory of the goods
administered, and that it was exhibited, and put first in some
bundle of like Inventories. The Inventory may be in one of
those boxes of such documents in little rolls of parchment
which Mr, Challenor Smith and Dr. F. J. F. went through to try
to find Shakspere’s Inventory. They only got that of Sir Jn.
Barnard, who married Shakspere’s granddaughter, and found
an entry that the ‘old goods and Lumber > at (Shakspere’s ‘ New
Place’ presumably) Stratford-on-Avon in 1674, were worth £4,
and the rent of it, £4. See New Shaksp. Soc.’s Trans, 1880-6,

of warre, nor ought to use, but onely the besynes and

and of almaner of office beryng any armour, and also of
all enquestes and juries within the Citie of London ;
And also that this Acte in all thynge do extende to all

Heralds,
because their
business was to
help the sick,
And in London,
from their Incor-
poration,
they’ve never
been called on

Therefore, since
the Surgeons are
so few,
and London folk
fall ill,
while many get

It is enacted that

be exempt from

So also shall all

Surgeons,
their number
being kept to 12.
1 We suppose the Statute meant only to limit the Fellowship of Surgeons to
twelve; not to say that if it numbered eleven, only one of the many Barber-
Surgeons admitted as Surgeons should be entitled to the exemption above-
given. Who was to settle which this one was?

200 App. VI. Alien Surgeons not Handicraftsmen.
Acts on Alien
Handicraftsmen,
Star-Chamber
Decree to control
them.
They break the
Statutes,
and help the
King’s enemies.
After Feb. 10,
1529, they must
obey the Decree,
and the Act con-
firming it,
lil.
A. Statement to show the Cause of the neat
Statute, 22 Henry VIL. Ch. XIII, being
passed in 1531.
By the Statutes 1 Ric. III, ch. 9, 10,12; 1 Hen.
VII, ch. 9, 10; and 14-15 Hen. VIII, «. 2, divers
enactments were made regulating the trade, work, and
status, of Alien and Denizen handicraftsmen in Eng-
land, restricting their power of taking more than two
Apprentices, &c. These enactments having been con-
tinually broken by these Aliens, &c., A Decree was, on
April 14, 1528 (20 Hen. VIII), made in the Star
Chamber “ concerninge Straungers Handye-craftesmen
inhabitinge this Realm of England” (Ree. Com. Stat.
lil. 298—301). It recites that the English Artificers
and Handicraftsmen complain of the great detriment
they suffer from the excessive number and unreasonable
behaviour of the said stranger-artificers, who do infringe
and break the said Statutes, sell goods at excessive and
unreasonable prices, import ‘bacon, chese, powdered
[salted] beffes, mottons, and other cominodytes,’ and
when they have made money, take it abroad, and settle
there, and help the King’s enemies, whereby ‘our Sub-
jectes handycraftsmen . . . be sore impoverysshed,
mynyssed, and almoost utterly decayed and destroyed,’
and ‘fall to thefte, murder and other great offences :’
Considering this, and ‘the great scarcyte of grayne
and vytell at this present tyme,’ It is decreed, this
10th of Febr. 1529, that no Alien shall keep more
than two alien Journeymen, though they may have as
many English ones and apprentices as they can get ; that
they shall pay City and Company charges, subsidies,
taxes; shall assist in the Searches required by St. 14
and 15 Hen. VIII, ch. 2; shall be admitted into Com-
panies on swearing fidelity to the King, and obedience
to the Laws ; and that Denizens only shall set up new

32 Hen. VIII, Chapter XL, a.v. 1540 (Record
Stut. iii. 793), exempts the Physicians in London and
its suburbs from serving as Constables, or on watch
and ward, as the Surgeons had been exempted by
5 Hen. VIII, ch. 6. It also lays on four Physicians
chosen by their Company, the duty of viewing yearly
the wares, drugs and stuffs sold by Apothecaries, and
ordering the bad ones to be burnt or destroyed. It
fines Apothecaries resisting the inspecting Physicians,
100s.; and those inspectors who neglect their duties,
40s. It then enacts that Physicians may practise
Surgery :
‘And forasmuche as the science of phisicke dothe

2 New Hall is 1§ miles N.W. of Boreham (which is 33 miles N.E. from
Chelmsford), and stands a mile back from the road. Its fine old avenue of
trees, nearly a mile long, is now much curtaild. It was probably built about
1500, was soon after ownd by Sir Thos. Boleyn, Q. Anne B.’s father, and past
from him to Henry VIII about 1517. He made it a Royal Residence—one of
the grandest in the kingdom—cald it Beaulieu, and in 1524 celebrated the
Feast of St. George there (Hall’s Chronicle, The .xvi. yere, p. 677, ed. 1809).
He enlarged the building. His arms are still over a door at the back of the
Hall, with a Latin inscription saying that ‘K. Hen. VIII, renownd in arms,
executed this sumptuous building.’ Q. Mary livd there several years before
her accession. Q. Eliz. also enlarged New Hall: her arms, with an Italian
inscription, are still over the entrance door. The Palace consisted of 2 large
quadrangles, with all necessary offices. It had a most splendid chapel, with
a grand East window, which is now in St. Margaret’s, Westminster. This
window was originally meant as a present from the magistrates of Dordt in
Holland, to Hen, VII. Perhaps about a fifth of the original building is left

stone facings, The old hall is still intact, and is used as a Chapel. It measures
50 ft. by 20, and is 45 ft. high. New Hall is now a Roman-Catholic school or
training-college, founded by some nuns of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre,
who took refuge there when driven from Lidge by the first Revolution in
1793.—Durrant’s Handbook for Essex, ed. W. H. Utley, p. 48-50.

In Madden’s Privy Purse Expenses of the Princess (afterwards
Queen) Mary, Dec. 1536-44 (London, 1831), Dr. Owen appears as
Physician both to her and Prince Edward :
p. 52. Jan. 1537-8. “Item to Doctour Owen), the Prince
phesition), in likewise [a Dublet clothe of Satten)] KSi11),:"
Then on p. 114, in April 1543, “ Item, payed to Doctowr owen), x ti;”
and afterwards, 3 entries of payments to messengers sent for him :

And on p. 164, Sept. 1544, Mrs. Owen’s servant gets 5s. for bringing
the Princess a present.
Dr. Michael? (? Delasco) was another Physician of the Princess,
and there are several entries relating to him, and gifts of money to
(?) his wife, Mrs. Mary.

2*The same iustrument which appoints John de Sodo apothecary to the
Princess (2ymer, xiv. p. 578), dated 29th Jan. 1537, also nominates Michael
Delasco, “in Medicinis Doctorem” to be her Physician, with a salary of 100
marks sterling per annum; and in the “Book of Payments” his name
occurs in Midsummer, 1539, as “phesicion to the Lady Marye,” with the
quarterly allowance of 167, 13s. 4d. Mrs. Mary Mychaell is presumed to be
his wife; and it is probably her picture that occurs in the list of those at
Westminster (IZS. Harl. 1419, A). She appears in the roll of New Year's
gifts, 1556, and presents “twelve pistyllets,” which are valued at 3/. 14s,, and
receives in return a gilt jug. Quere, whether the above Michael Delasco be

XITI.
THE 185 FREEMEN OF THE BARBER-SURGEONS’
COMPANY,
THE MOST NUMEROUS IN LONDON, IN 1537,
WITH THE NUMBERS OF THE OTHER 38 CITY COMPANIES.
In order to show that the Barbers’ (or Barber-Surgeons’) Com-
pany was
even before its statutory union with the Surgeons—-the
strongest Livery Company in the City of London, the following list
of its 185 Members has been copied from the Return (in the Record
Office) of all the Companies’ members, in 1537, the year in which
Thomas Lewyn was sheriff, with Sir John Gresham, while Sir
Richard Gresham was Lord Mayor (Stow, Survay, p. 445, ed. 1598 ;
p. 532, ed. 1603).
The Barber-Surgeons are 185 strong. Then come the Skinners,
151; the Haberdashers, 120; the Merchant-Tailors are 7th, with
their 96; the Tilers (a Rafe Burbage among them) have 90; wh/le
the others dwindle away so that the Barbers make half-a-dozen (or
more) of them. The point of numbers is of moment, not only as wit-
nessing the importance of the Company to which Vicary belonged,
but also the share which the Barbers took in the civic processions,
and the number of armed men they could produce when called on.
[A.D. 1537.1] Chapter-House Books B 4.

cionnes within the Cytie of London), with the names of euery

of the MS.

SEPT. 1529,
as approvd by the City’s Committee, and submitted (on Oct. 20,
1529) to the Chancellor and Treasurer of England (Sir Thomas
More, and Thomas, Duke of Norfolk), and the Chief Justices of the
King’s and Common Benches (Sir Jn. FitzJames and Sir Robert
Norwich), and by them revised into, and ratified as, the Company’s
Ordinances from May 14, 1530.
(From the Guildhall Letter-Book O, leaves 114 back, to 118.)

248 App. XIV. Barber-Surgeons’ Draft-Rules, 1529.
The late Mr. John Flint South, or his Guildhall copiers, seem
to have mist the following Document, which is described in the 1530
Revision of it printed in South’s Craft of Surgery, p. 339—350, as
‘a Boke conteyning dyuers Statutes, actes and Ordynaunces, here-
tofore devysed, ordeyned and made, for the Fellowship of Barbours
Surgeons, and their Successors, and for the Common weale anil
conservacion of the good estate of the sayd Crafte and Mysterye
of Barbors Surgeons aforesayd, and for the better Rules and ordyn-
aunces of the same Fellowship, establysshed, ordeyned and vsed.’
—ZIb. p. 340.
As the Act 19 Henry VII, chapter 7 (a.p. 1503),! requird all
Ordinances of London Gilds or Fraternities to be examind and
approvd by the Chancellor and Treasurer of England, and the Chief
Justices of the King’s Bench and Common Bench, or three of them,
Vicary and his Brethren, on Oct. 20, 1529,? duly submitted the
Barber-Surgeons’ proposed Rules to these Officials, and on May 14,
1530, had them returnd, revised and duly ratified, with a change
of the order of Clauses and of some words, a Prolog reciting the
Act 19 Hen. VII, ch. 7, and the ‘Boke’ following, &c., and an
Epilog saving the King’s rights, and adding the Proviso on p. 254,
below, that no Freeman of the Company might ‘open any Shoppe
of Barbarye’ till he ownd goods of the value of 10 Marks sterling,
£6 13s. 4d.
1 Statutes, ed. Pulton, p. 434-5. He notes references to 28 Hen. VIII, ch. 5,
and 31 Hen, VIII, ch. 41.
2 The MS. and South’s print give the date a year later, making the Revised
Ordinances of May, 1580, recite these Draft ones as sent-in in Oct. 1530, It
is plain to us that the Draft Ordinances were submitted to More and his Col-
leagues directly they were clear of the City Committee in Sept. 1529.

App. XIV. Barber-Surgeons the 28th Company. 261
The Barber-Surgeons’ right to the 17th Place in the
Order of the City Companies.
Two years after the Barber-Surgeons had got their Ordinances
revised and authorised by Sir Thomas More and his fellows, they
claimd their old place of 17th Company in the City gatherings and
processions, out of which they had been ousted ; and it took them
four years and a half to get the matter {nally settled. The first
document shows them 28th, in 1516; then they were 17th, then
18th ; then they were stopt fora time; but at last they secured their
old 17th place.

First, the disputes for precedence between the Salters and Iron-

declaring that the Salters shall go before the Ironmongers, and that
the Ironmongers ‘shall Charitably & louyngly Folowe next the’
Salters ; and that the Shearmen shall precede the Dyers, who ‘ shalt
Charitably & louyngly folowe next the’ Shearmen. Then comes,
on leaf 6, a cooler for the hot blood stirring in the Dyers:

On Oct. 22, 1534 (Rep. 9, lf. 79), it was agreed that the above
Act of 1533 should be ‘ vtterly Revoked, adnulle& & repely¢,’ and
that an order made in the mayoralty of Sir Wm. Butler (Nov. 1515-
16: p. 261-2, above) as to the order of the Crafts in assemblies, &c.
should be observd, so that the Barbers would be 28th again. And
‘the Wardeyns of the mystery of the Barbour-surgeons of London’
were ‘ orderd that theyre company shaH no more goo yn processyons,
standynges, Rydynges, goynges, & other assembles from hensfurth,
tyH it be otherwyse orderd by thys courte.’
Nevertheless, on March 11, 1535 (Repertory 9, leaf 7) it is
‘agreed that the sayd Company of barbowrs shalbe the xvij company,
& immedyatly to goo afore y* companye of Cutlers, & after the
Pewterers, as they be set yn order yn the tyme of y° mayoraltye of
Master Butler, yn the Repertory N fol/o [6] vltimo die J anuarvd,’
But on March 16, 1535 (Letter-Book P, If. 61), it was again
agreed ‘that the saide Company of Barbours shalbe the xvi] Company,
and ymmediatly to goo afore the Company of Cutlers / and after the
pewterers.’
On July 29, 1535 (Rep. 9, lf. 118, and Letter-Book P, leaf 66, bk.),
this last Act or Order is repeated, and the place of ‘the barbour
surgeons of london’ settled as that of ‘the xvij Company,’ before
the Cutlers and after the Pewterers. On Oct. 12, 1535 (Rep. 9, If.
130, and Letter-Book P, lf. 71, bk.), ‘ the barbowr surgeons’ are again
given the place of ‘the sevyntenth company yn the order of the
emysteryes of the companyes . . yn alt theyre stondynges, goynyes,
Rydynges, & other comon assembles of thys Cytie.’
On Wednesday, Dec. 15, 1535 (Rep. 9, lf. 195, and Letter-Book
P, lf. 78, bk.), a further Order again gives the barbowrsurgeons the
17th place: 1. Mercers, 2. Grocers, 3. Drapers, 4. Fysshemongers,
5, Goldsmythes, 6. Skynners, 7. Merchanttayliours, 8. Haberdasshers,

This Order was confirmd on March 30, 1536 (Rep. 9, If. 166).
Then on July 20, 1536 (Rep. 9, If. 184), it was orderd that the
Barber-Surgeons should have a new Boke or Charter made, under
the Common Seal of the City,! granting them their 17th place for
ever. This was duly made, and is enterd in full in Repertory 9,

A FEW NOTES.
p. 64, Zirbus, See Lib, II, Cap. XIII, p. 78 of Opera Chirurgica Ambresii
Puraci, Frankfort, 1594. ‘De Epiploo seu Omento, quod Zirbum etiam ap-
pellant, Post partes continentes, sequuntur contents, quarum prima est
Epiploon, sie dictum, qudd intestinis omnibus innatet.? And on p. 79, in the
references to the icon or woodcut, ‘Omentum, seu zirbum, aut epiploon, in
omnia intestina effusum, vnde & hoc epiploi nomen traxit.’
p. 80, Perfection of the Fetus. For 18 and 46 days, Ambrose Paré allows
30 and 60: Op. Chirurg. 1594, p. 667 -—*Ceterim infans in vtero, vt ante
trigesimum diem conformationem perfectam non adipiscitur, sic, non ante
sexagesimum movetur: quod tempus sepius etiam mulieres latet, propter
motionis exilitatem.’ He also insists that the soul comes to the foetus, not
from man, but from God, and quotes Augustine on the point, ‘Itaque ab
Adamo, aut parentibus, deriuari animam non est credendum: sed singulis
momentis, & in ipso conformati foetus articulo, & Deo creari, & in foetum
infundi,’
p. 153, Gifts to Barts, By his will of May 9, 1399, Thomas de Baumburgh,
clerk, gives all his tenements in ‘Holbourn to the Master and Brethren of the
Hospital of S. Bartholomew de Smethefeld, for providing 2 Friars Regular of
that order to celebrate divine service in the Hospital Church, See Dr. Reg-
Sharpe’s fortheoming Calendar of the Wills in the Court of Husting, Guildhall,
London, Pt. I, p. 487, (A.D. 1888.)
p. 157, Lazar Houses. See the Order, Oct. 15 (3 Edw. VI), 1549, for yearly
appointing Governors of them, in Letter-Book R, If. 36, Guildhall Records,
p. 168, note 2. The Plague of 1563. Among those who must have died
of it, and were buried at St, Giles’s, Cripplegate, was the Rev. Richard Bullein,
writer of a book on the Stone, brother of William Bullein, author of the
Bulnarke 1563, Dialogue 1564, &e. Diet. Nat. Biog., vii. 246/1, (William
Bullein died in 1576.)
p. 177. Archery, 1633 Gerv, Markham. Country Contentments, p. 57.
The markes to shoote at are three, Buts, Prickes. or Roavers: the But is a
levell Marke, and therefore would have a strong Arrow with a very broad
Feather ; The pricke is a marke of some compasse, yet most certaine in the
Distance, therefore would have nimble strong Arrowes with a middle Feather,
all of one weight and flying ; and the Roaver is a marke incertaine, sometimes
long, sometimes short, and therefore must have arrowes lighter, or heavier,
according unto the distance of place.

A Preface to the
Reader.
re’ He wickednes of reporte at thys Daie, good
%2 reader, is growen to such ranckenes, that
nothing almost is able to defend it selfe
against the venyme thereof, but that, either
with open slaunder or priuie whisperyng, it shalbe so
vndermyned, that it shall neither haue the good suc-
cesse, Whiche otherwise it myght, ne the thankes whiche
for the worthines it ought.
It is better knowen by reaporte vnto the nombre,
then weyghed in effect almoste to any, that for the
relief of the sore and sicke of the citie of London, *It
pleased the Kinges Maiestie, of famous memorie, Henry
the eight (father to this our moste drad souereigne
lorde nowe reignyng) to erecte an hospitall in West
Smithfield, for the continual relief & help of an .C.
sore and diseased. And the same endowed with the
yerely reuenues of v. c. Markes, to geue vnto y® sayd
vitie and Citezeins condicionally, that they also, for
their part, should adde other .v. hundred Markes by the
yere. Whiche thyng, with al due thanckefulnesse, thei
receiued at his maiesties handes: And (for that thei
sawe it prociede from his highnesse, aswell of moste
charitable zeale toward the afflicted membres and his
brethren in Christ, as of a singuler fauour toward *the
Citie) very gladly embraced the condicion. Thinkyng
it for their partes rather to litle then enough.
But when they had taken suche suruey therof ‘as
was conuenient for them in this case to do: Although
the Kynges maiesties endowment was after the rate of
his hyghnes moste gracious gifte, yeat founde thet the
nature of the same, and the state of the whole, farre
vnder that that they at the first had hoped. The
raysing of this .v. hundred marke rent, to lie only in a
certeine of houses, some in great decaye, and some
rotten ruynous; And some other to whom better ten-
auntes had happened, alreadie leased out at terme and
rent, skant reasonable for the behofe of y® poore. So
that first to ma*ke them againe worth the wonted

As though this priuie backebityng could not so suftici-
ently and weyghtely set forth this enormitie of the
Citezeins, as semed behouefull for the querele of
~ charitie,—toke vpon them to geue spiede and aucthoritie
to the thyng, eche after his maner. So that the good
Citizeins, which nowe for these .v. yeares space haue
shonned for no lothesomenes, to administer the relief
without other gayne *then that Iesus Christe, God &
man, promiseth, & will vndoubtedly paye, haue here
receyued nothyng elles, but for a commune benefight,
an open detraction, and the pore (as shal afterward
appiere) a larger hynderaunce. Where in the meane

pocques, fystules, filthie blaynes and sores, to the
nombre of .viij. hundred, and thence saufe delivered,

thys place had not vouchedsaufe to be*come a poompe

though they haue at all handes so well deserued, that
harde it ware with the moste fauourable reporte to

may iustely be aunswered to all suche charitie-proc-

alieaged, and the wages of the Cyrurgiens, and such
officiers and seruauntes as nedefully are attendaunt

so many sore and diseased, & the excessyue prices of

endeuoure them selues, with asmuch good reporte and

wipe away the slaunder, as they haue to hinder them
both by the contrary.
But, forasmuch as it is doubtful whether thei wil

to publishe at this present the officiers and ordres by
hym appoincted, and from time to tyme practysed and
vsed by twelue of the Citizeins moste *auncient, in
their courses, as at large in the processe shal appier,
partly for the staye and redresse of such slaundre, and
partly for that it myght be an open wytnesse and
knowledge vnto all men, howe thynges are administred
there, & by whom. Wherein, if any man iudge more
to be set forth in woorde, than in diede is folowed,
there be meanes to resolue him.
But if there be not so muche set furth as is ex-
pedient (as what thyng at the first can atteyne to the
toppe of perfectnesse), or that any manne spieth ought
in this ordre worthie to be refourmed, he shall not
nede to crie it at the Crosse,! but shall fynde those at
the Hospital, that both gladly will & may refourme it.
And where yet by suche * meanes, occasion is founde,
as tofore was sygnified, to withdrawe mennes charities,
by reason that it is thought but folly to bestowe more
relief where there is enough for the nombre already :
The Citie, of their endlesse good wil toward this most
necessarie succour of their pore brethren in Christ,
although at y° first they semed bounde to the precyse
nombre of an hundred, and no more, wyshe al men to
be most assuredly perswaded, that if by any meanes
possible thei might, they desire to enlarge the bene-
fyght to a thousand, as ordinarie as at this daie the
hundred are.
Finally, they wyshe that all Almoisners and houses
of Almoise, knowen either by the name of hospital, or
Sauoy,? might, *by these their doynges, be prouoked
to lyke endeuour & benefyght to the poore, that what
one is not able alone to succour, the other myght in
felowshippe supplie, at this tyme namely, when the
mysery of the poore moste busily semeth to awake.

neither shal any euill dwel with the.

hatest al them that worke vanitie.
Thou shalt destroie them that speake leasyng: the lord will
abhorre both the bloud-thirstie and deceiptfull man.
But as for me, I will come vnto thy house, euen vpon the mul-

For there is no faithfulnes in his mouthe: their inward partes

Destroie thou them, O God; let them peryshe through their

Out of the mouthe of verie babes and sucklinges hast thou

Thou madest hym lower thew the aungels: to crowne him with

Thou madest him to haue dominion of the workes of thy handes :
and thou hast put all thynges in subicetion vnder his fete :
All shepe and oxen: yea, & the beastes of the fielde ;

3chold, I was shapen in wickednesse: and in synne hath my
mother conceiued me.
But lo, thou requirest truthe in the inwarde partes: and shalt
make me to ynderstande wisedome secretly.
Thou shalt purge me with Isope, and I shalbe cleane: thou shalt

Thou shalt make me heare ioye & gladnes: that the bones which

The sacrifice of god is a troubled spirite: a broken and a contrite

Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifice of ryghteousnes,

The Lesson.
Et vs walke in the holy spirite of God, & abhorre the lustes and
desires of oure filthy fleshe; for our fleshe is contrary to our
spirite, and the spirite contrary to the fleshe : these ®are so contrary,
one to another, that we carnot do what we wold. But if we be led
by the spirite of God, then are we not vnder dampnacion. The dedes
of the fleshe are these, aduoutrie, fornication, vnelennes, wantones,
worshyppyng of ymages, witchecrafte, hatred, variaunce, zeale, wrathe,
strief, sedicious sectes, enuieng, murther, dronkenesse, glotony, &
suche lyke. And whatseuer he be that committeth these thinges,
shall not enherit the kyngdome of God. But the frutes of the holy
spirite of God, are contrarie, whiche are these: Loue, peace, long
suffering, gentlenes, goodnes, faythfulnes, mekenes, temperauncie,

Now ye not that al we whiche are baptised in Christ, are bap-
kK tised to die with hym? We are buried with hym by baptisme
for to die, that likewyse as Christe was raysed from death by
the glory of the father, euen so we also shold walke in a newe life ;
for if we be graffed in death like vnto hym, euen so shal 2we be
partakers of the resurrection; knowyng this, that our old man is
crucified with hym also, that the body of synne myght vtterly be
destroied, that hencefurth we should not be seruaurtes vnto sinne,
Wherfore, if we be dead with Christe, we beleue that we shal also
liue with him: knowing that Christe, beyng raised from death, dieth
no more, death hathe no more power ouer him; for as touching that
he died, he died concerning once. And as touchyng that he liueth,
he liueth vnto God. Likewise consider ye also, that ye are dead as
touchynge sinne, but are aliue vnto God, through Iesus Christ our
lord. Let not sinne therefore reigne in youre mortall body, that you
should thereunto obey by the lu’stes of it. Neither geue you your
members as instrumentes of vnrighteousnes vnto sinne, but geue ouer
your selues ynto God, as they that, of deathe, are lyue. And geue
ouer your members, as instrumentes of ryghteousnes vnto God, for
sinne shall no haue power ouer you, because ye are not vnder the
lawe, but vnder grace: what then? Shal we sinne because we are
not vnder the lawe, but wnder grace? (God forbid!) Knowe ye not
how that to whom soeuer ye committ youre selues as seruauntes to
obey, his seruauntes ye are, to whome ye obey, whether it be of sinne
vnto death, or of obedience ynto righteousnes? God be thanked that,
though ye were the servauntes of sinne, ye haue yet obeyed with
*harte vnto the rule of the doctrine that ye be brought ynto; ye are
then made fre from synne, and are become the seruauntes of right-
eousnes. I speake groselie, because of the infirmitie of your fleshe :
as ye haue geuen your members seruauntes to vncleanes and to ini-

Gulp Gnolish Geet Society.
Tux Early English Text Society was started by Dr. Furnivall in 1864
for the purpose of bringing the mass of Old English Literature within
the reach of the ordinary student, and of wiping away the reproach under
which England had long rested, of having felt little interest in the
monuments of her early life and language.
The E. E. T. Soc. desires to print in its Original Series the whole of
our unprinted MS. literature; and in its Extra Series to reprint in careful
editions all that is most valuable of printed MSS. and early printed. books.
The Society has issued to its subscribers 142 Texts, most of them of
great interest; so much so indeed that the publications of its first two
years have been reprinted, and those for its third year, 1866, will follow.
The Subscription to the Early English Text Society, which constitutes
Membership, is £1 1s. a year [and £1 1s. additional for the Extra Series],
due in advance on the lst of January, and should be paid either to the
Society’s Account at the Head Office of the Union Bank, Princes St.,
London, E.C., or by Money Order (made payable at the Chief Office,
London, and crost ‘Union Bank’), or by Cheques or Postal Orders, to
the Hon. Secretary, Wu. A. Datzinx, Esq., 67, Victoria Road, Finsbury
Park, London, N. All Members who subscribe through other channels
than the Hon. See. are askt to send their names to him, in order to insure
an early insertion of them in the List of Members.
, Those Members in the United States of America who want their
Texts posted to them, must add to their prepaid subscriptions is. 4d.
yearly for the Original Series, and 1s. for the Extra Series.
July, 1888. The Society is now again level with its work. The

| July, 1888. With this, go out two Texts for the Extra Series, 1888: No. LII, Part I,
(ihe Text) of Wm. Bullein’s Dialogue on the Fewer Pestilence, 1578, collated with the earlier
ieee of 1564 and 1573, edited by two namesakes of the old Doctor, Messrs. Mark and
. H. Bullen. This work was written directly after the terrible Plague of 1563, the City-of-
tion Regulations about which (from the Guildhall Records) will be found in the Appendix
to the second Text for this year, No. LIII, Part I of the first English Anatomie of the Body
of Man, by Thomas Vicary, Serjeant of the Surgeons, and Chief Surgeon to Henry VIII,
dward VI, Q. Mary, and Q. Elizabeth, five times Master of the Barber- Surgeons’ Company,
And Chief Surgeon to St. Bartholomew’s Hospital after its re-foundation in 1546-7 by Henry
VIII. and the City of London. No copy of the first edition of this little book in 1548 is now
Jenown ; and therefore the now unique copy of it, re-issued by the Surgeons of Bartholomew’s
in 1577, has been reprinted. Diligent efforts have been made to secure all accessible details of
Vicary’s life in its various aspects of—1. ‘a meane practiser at Maidstone’; 2. the head
Court-Surgeon for over forty years ; 3. a member (1527-62) and Master of the Barber-Surgeons’
‘Company; 4. the re-organiser of the recreated Bartholomew’s Hospital ; and 5. a private
citizen. But though fair success has attended the searches under sections 2 and 5, little has
been attained under 1; while for 3 and 4, delay is still needful. Mr. D’ Arcy Power has, by
the kind leave of Mr. South’s widow, lent the Society Mr. South’s full extracts from the
earliest Minute-Book of the Barber-Surgeons’ Company ; but the Governors of the Company
have refused to allow the printing of any of the extracts, inasmuch as Mr. Sidney Young, a
member of the Company, has long been compiling its history from its records, and he dick
~ not wish any of these printed before his book is publisht, which may be some years hence.
With regard to Bartholomew’s Hospital, Part I of its Records is now printing by two Officers
of the Hospital ; and till their First Part is out, the Society’s book cannot be completed.
| This has therefore necessitated the issue of our Text in two Parts, of which the first contains
2 Original Series Books, 1888; both Series 1889. Anglo-Saxon Psalters.
all Vicary’s work, with many illustrative Documents from the Public Record Office, the ‘
Guildhall Records, the Museum MSS., &c., while in the later Part II will be the Notes, |
Indexes, and Forewords, with a Life of Vicary. Nearly all the Forewords, save the Bar-
tholomew’s section—the old Surgeon’s life at the Hospital in 1548-62—are in type. The
New Shakspere Society has sold the Early English Text Society the right to print copies of
its plates of Edward VI’s Coronation Procession through the City of London in 1547, and
Norden’s Plan of London in 1593 ; and other illustrations will be given. The Editors are the
Director, and his son Mr. Perey Furnivall, a student of St. Bartholomew’s Hospital. [¢ is
hoped that Part II of the book will be ready early next year.
For the Original Series for 1888, the first Text has gone out, No. 89: Part I (the text ana
translation) of Dr. Holthausen’s edition of a Treatise on the Vices and Virtues from the Stowe
MS. 240, ab. 1200 a.p. The other Original-Series Texts for 1888 will be the two first ready:
of Mr. T. Austin’s Zwo 15th Century Cookery-Books, Dr. Logeman’s interlinear Rule of St.
Benet, Mr. Rhodes’s edition of the Anglo-Saxon Glosses and Latin text of Bede’s Liber Seiit-
tillarwm, and Mr. Harsley’s edition of Eadwine’s early 12th century Canterbury Psalter, as ta
which see below. These texts are nearly all in type. .
For the Original Series in 1889, Dr. Holthausen’s Part IT, the Introduction, Notes, and
Glossary to the Stowe MS. Vices and Virtues, will probably be ready in January. What
other books will follow, must depend on when any Editor of one of the many works in
preparation for the Society has a Part or the whole of it ready for issue. Lists of these
‘Works are on the last page of the Cover and the first of this inside quarter-sheet. |
For the Extra Series of 1889, Mr. Alexander J. Ellis has already in type over three hundral
pages of Part V of his great work on Harly English Pronunciation, dealing with our modern
Dialects. This will be issued by the Philological and Chaucer Societies jointly with the
Early English Text Society ; but the date of publication must depend on the progress of tho
very intricate and laborious work, and the funds of the several Societies, The Part will
undoubtedly be finisht by May 1889.
The other Extra-Series book for 1889 will be the one first finisht by any Editor.
Dr. Aldis Wright many years ago undertook the editing of the MS. Anglo-Saxon Psalters
for the Society. As a preliminary, he copied the 12th century (?ab. 1150 A.p.) Trinity MS:
of Eadwine’s Canterbury Psalter, which has transitional forms like the change of Anglo-Saxon
¢ to ch (wyrchende for A.Sax. wyrcende), the weakening of full vowels in the endings,
senfullen for A.Sax. synfullan, &e. Dr. Aldis Wright also made notes of all the other Anglo-
Saxon Psalters from the ninth to the twelfth century, and tentatively classified them by the —
Roman and Gallican versions which they respectively gloss. Meantime Dr. Hy. Sweet edited
the oldest MS., the Vespasian, in his Oldest English Texts for the Society. The next step
should have been to collate six or eight Psalms from all the MSS., and see whether one or —
(at most) two texts, with collations, would not have sufficed for the whole body. But as
Mr. Harsley, to whom Dr. Aldis Wright kindly handed his whole material, wanted one text —
printed forthwith for his Doctor’s Dissertation, leave was given for the late Canterbury Psalter
to go to press ; and now the text of it is all printed. Dr. Logeman then raised the question
of how the other MSS. should be treated; and he was authorised to prepare a Parallel-
Text edition of the first ten Psalms from all the MSS., to test whether the best way of
printing them would be in one group, or in two—in each case giving parts of all the MSS. on
one page—under their respetive Roman and Gallican Latin originals. If collation proves
that all the MSS. cannot go together on successive pages, there will be two Parallel-Texts,
one of the A.Sax. MSS. following the Roman version, and the other, of those glossing the
More Money wunted. Saints’ Lives, Anglo-Saxon Hoivilies. 3
Gallican ; but every effort will be made to get the whole into one Parallel-Text. This Text
will be an extravagance ; but as the Society has not yet committed one in Anglo-Saxon, it
will indulge in one now. And every student will rejoice at having the whole Psalter material
before him in the most convenient form. Dr. Logeman and Mr. Harsley will be joint editors
of the Parallel-Text. The Early English Psalters are all independent versions, and will
follow separately in due course.
Through the good offices of Prof. Arber, the books for the Early-English Examinations of
the University of London will be chosen from the Society’s publications, the Committee
having undertaken to supply such books to students at a large reduction in price. The
profits from these sales will be applied to the Society’s Reprints. The Ayenbite of Inwyt is
now reprinting under the supervision of its Editor, Dr. Richard Morris.
Members are reminded that fresh Subscribers are always wanted, and that the Committee
can at any time, on short notice, send to press an additional Thousand Pounds’ worth of work.
Our Jubilee Reprint Fund, for which Mr. M. T. Culley of Coupland Castle has sent a
Letter of Appeal to every Member, has as yet receivd but little support, tho’ Mr. Mortimer
Harris started it with a cheque for two guineas. Further Donations will be welcome, They
should be paid to the Honorary Secretary, Mr. W. A. Dalziel, 67 Victoria Road, Finsbury
Park, London, N,
The Subscribers to the Original Series must be prepared for the issue of the whole of the
Early English Lives of Saints, under the editorship of Dr. Carl Horstmann. The Society
cannot leave out any of them, even though some are dull. The Sinners would doubtless be
much more interesting. But in many Saints’ Lives will be found interesting incidental
details of our forefathers’ social state, and all are worthful for the history of our language,
The Lives may be lookt on as the religious romances or story-books of their period.
_ The Standard Collection of Saints’ Lives in the Corpus and Ashmole MSS., the Harleian
MS. 2277, &c. will repeat the Laud set, our No. 87, with additions, and in right order. The
differences between the foundation MS. (the Laud 108) and its followers are so great, that, to
prevent quite unwieldy collations, Dr. Horstmann decided that the Laud MS. must be printed
alone, as the first of the Series of Saints’ Lives. 'Fhe Supplementary Lives from the Vernon
and other MSS. will form one or two separate volumes. The Glossary to the whole set, the
discussion of the sources, and of the relation of the MSS. to one another, &c., will be put
in a final volume.
When the Saints’ Lives are complete, Trevisa’s englishing of Bartholomeus de Propricta-
_tibus Rerum, the medieval Cyclopedia of Science, &c., will be the Society’s next big under-
taking. Dr. R. von Fleischhacker has kindly said that he will edit it. Before it goes to
wer
press, Prof. Napier of Oxford has been good enough to promise that he will edit for the
Society all the unprinted and other Anglo-Saxon Homilies which are not included in Thorpe’s
edition of Aelfric’s prose,’ Dr. Morris’s of the Blickling Homilies, and Prof, Skeat’s of
_ Aclfric’s Metrical Homilies. Prof. Kolbing has also undertaken for the Society’s Extra Series
—~
a Parallel-Text of all the six MSS, of the Ancren Riwle, one of the most important foundation-
documents of Early English.

In case more Texts are ready at any time than can be paid for by the current year’s income
?
_ they will be dated the next year, and issued in advance to such Members as will pay advance
subscriptions. Last year’s delay in getting out Texts must not occur again, if it can possibly
be avoided, The Director has copies of 2 or 3 MSS. in hand for ‘ture volunteer Editors.
1 Of these, Mr. Harsley is preparing a new edition, with collations of all the MSS. Many copies of
Thorpe’s book, not issued by the Aelfric Society, are still in stock.
