MY LORD,
OUR Lordſhip’s favourable Acceptance of
my Antiquities of Malvern, and of my new
Edition of Sir William Dugdale's Antiquities
of Warwickſhire (for which you were pleaſed
generouſly to reward me, far beyond any De-
ſert of, mine) makes me become a bold Petic
tioner to your Lordſhip for your gracious Protection of the
Book I now preſent unto you, as a publick Teſtimony of my
Gratitude, the only poor Return that I can make unto your
Lordſhip for all your Favours.

your Lordſhip's Cathedral-Church than has been as
yet publiſhed; many Inſcriptions added; and adorned with

the Cuts of the beſt Monuments in it: And the Second gives
an Account of the Lives and Actions of your Lordſhip’s Pre-
deceſſors, from the firſt Foundation of the See, to the Times
of the Reformation, extracted chiefly from your own valua-
ble Regiſters, and from thoſe of your Reverend Dean and
Chapter ; both which furniſhed me with many Materials ;
and from whence I have tranſcribed and added in the Ap-
pendix many Original Papers and Letters, which have long
lain a Prey to Moths and Worms, and are in ſeveral Places
ſcarcely legible.
Ž
Hemming's Chartulary, which gives a great Light to the
Hiſtory of your Lordſhip’s See, and to many Donations of
Lands thereto, I have digeſted in order of Time, and given
an Account of the Deeds therein under every Biſhop's Life,
according to their Dates; whereby it appeareth that many of
them were not the leaſt of Benefactors to it, and that by
their Care, and Diligence, and Piety, it arrived to the Riches
and Affluency it formerly enjoy'd, till plunderd in iniquitous
Times by Covetous Great Men, and ſeven of its beſt Manors
out of twenty-three, taken away from it.
That Chriſtianity was very early planted in this Iſland, is
agreed upon by all our Hiſtorians; one of your Lordſhip’s
learned Predeceſſors hath in his Antiquities of the Britiſh
Churches with great Probability aſſerted, that it was done by
St. Paul himſelf; and where he planted Churches, he ordained
and ſettled Biſhops to feed, direct and govern the ſeveral Flocks
committed to their Charge. This is alſo confirmed by what
your Lordſhip’s immediate Predeceſſor (famous for his great
Accurateneſs in theſe Matters) ſays in his Account of Church
Government in Britain, Ch. iii. p. 71. that the Chriſtian Reli-
gion here was the ſame as was in all other Provinces of the

Roman Empire; and that while that Empire ſtood, the Chri-
ftians of this and the other Provinces were all in Conmunion
together, and conſequently under the fame Government of a
Dioceſan Epiſcopacy, not only in Name, but in Authority,
the ſame as is now eſtabliſhed in this Kingdom; tho' for want
of antient Writings we are left too much in the dark, and
cannot produce plain Inſtances of it, or give a clear Account
how
many
Sees it then had, or the Names of the Biſhops of
them. And no wonder; for upon the coming of the Saxons,
an Heatheniſh rude and barbarous People, the Chriſtians of
this Iſand were drove into a Corner, amongſt Rocks and in-
acceſſible Mountains, and all their Monuments of Learning
deſtroyed; for ſo Gildas tells us, that all their Cities and
Churches were burnt to the Ground, the Inhabitants killed by
the Sword, or buried in the Ruins of Houſes and Altars, which
were defiled with the Blood of the Slain; in which horrible
Devaftation the Rulers of the Cburch and the Prieſts ſuffered
together with the common People. But upon their Converſions
Chriſtianity again Aouriſhed, and St. Auguftin, who began
the Work, founded it on the ſame Foot of Epiſcopal Govern-
ment with the Britiſh that ſtill remained; with whom he had
no Difference about their Order, but about Submiſſion to the
See of Rome; for that denying all uſurped Authority, they
would be ſubject to none but their own Archbiſhop. Four-
fcore and two Years after his coming into this Land, was your
Lordſpip's See firſt erected, taken out of that of Litchfield,
at the Command of Archbiſhop Theodore. Tatfrith, nomi-
nated to.it, dying before Conſecration, Bofel became the firſt
Biſhop, from whom, down to your Lordihip, we have a ve-
ry clear Succeſſion; and many of them are ſaid to have been
very great and learned Men; as, Bofel and Oftfor, bred up at
Hilda's famous Monaſtery of Streonſbale, to whom ſucceeded
pious Egwin, the Founder of Eveſham-Abbey; to him, Wil-

after theſe, Alhun, who built the Church at Kemſey, and
Werefrith, in the Holy Scriptures moſt learned, who at the
Command of King Alfred, elegantly tranſlated Pope Gregory's
Paſtoral into the Saxon Tongue. Under theſe and ſeveral
others, good and pious Biſhops, Virtue flouriſhed among the
Wiccians, and Religion proſpered till King Edgar's Days,
when the Diſputes between the Regulars and Seculars roſe to
a great Height, and Secular Power was called in, to pull
down Secular Prieſts; when under a luftful Prince, Pride,
Ambition, and Luxury too much abounded, and ſcandalous
were the Vices both of Clergy and Laity. Which Diſorders
ended in another Devaſtation, and the Danes were brought
over by God to be a Scourge to the Saxons, as they had been
before to the Britains.
But Cnut put an End to the Daniſh Cruelty; and to
make Amends for the Ravages and Deſolations made by him-
ſelf and his Anceſtors, he built feveral Churches, repaired
many Monafteries, and endowed the fame with many Ma-
nors, believing according to the Opinion of thoſe Times, that
the Monks would ſay ſo many Maſſes and Requiems, as would
atone for the Blood ſhed by them, and pray their Souls out of
Purgatory:
It was not long after, that the Normans came in; Wolftan

of the beſt of them: For Hiſtorians give this Character of
Him, that though he was not very learned, yet he was very
pious, chaſte, ſober, temperate, humble

charitable, for which they gave him the Name of Saint, and

HE See of Worceſter was taken out of that óf
Litch; eld, about the Year 680 or Tooner, Fourſcore
T
and two years after the coming of St. Aufiin in-
to this Iſand, who firſt converted the Saxons to
the Chriſtian Faith. The Province of Wiccia was
33
allotted to it, and the Bithops of it were called,
Ffifcopi picciorum, the Billióps of the Wiccians ; it contained all

Warwick hire, with the Town of Warrick. The Inhabitants of this
Fari of Britain were called by ile Romans, Doliiii,, from Dreifn, or

Duvnn, or Dovain (a). a Britiſh Word, fignitying a Vale, or deep
Land and ſo was moſt of this Province a Vale upon the Rivers Severie
and Avon : But as ſoon as the Saxons ha conquer'd Britain, the
Name of Dol uni was loſt, and the German Name of Wiccii given to
them. Wic, in their Language, fignifying a Bank or Crook of a
River, and they inhabiting upon the Crooks or Windings of the
faid Rivers, were by them properly called Wiccians; and the Hills
which terminate this Vale to the Eaſt, now called Cotſwould, were
then called the Wiccian Hills, Montes Wiccifii ( b ).
The chief City of this Province was then called * Wichirne, Wigurne,
in Latin, Wicornia; and when it was fortified againſt the Incurſions of
the Britains, at that Time driven by the Saxons beyond the Severn,
and a Caſtle raiſed where the River was moſt Fordable; they then
gave it the Name of of Wigurnace aſtre, Wigraceaſtre, V’eareceaftre,
now Worceſter. By whom Built or fortified, is not certain ;
but at the Erection of the Billoprick, this being the Capital Ci-
ty of the Wiccians, the See was here fixed. The firſt Cathe-
dral Church was dedicated to St. Peter, which laſted till Biſhop
Oſwala's Time, and only Secular Prieſts were Alliftants to the
Biſhop in the Execution of his Office :: But he being bred up a Monk,
reſolved to turn out the Seculars and bring in the Reculars. In or-
der to do this, not by. Force but Craft, the Church of St. Peter
being ſmall, he built another in the ſame. Church-yard to tlie
Honourof the Mother of God, where he placed his Manks, and con-
verſed more freely with them than with the Seculars, frequently
performing Divine Offices amongſt theni. The People. feeing this,
flocked liither to him, thinking it a Crime to be without the
Bleſſing of fo Holy a Bijhop. Upon which the Clerks, being left alone,
.choſe rather to put on the Cowl, than at their own Loſs to become
ridiculous to the People. This is the Account (c) Malmsbury gives
us of erecting the Monaſtery of St. Mary, and with him agrees Ead-

nier, in his Life of St. Oſtvald. But (d) Florence of Worceſier and the
Monk of Ramſey intimate, that Force as well as Craft was made uſe
of in turning out the Seculars.
This New Church at the Monaſtery was finiſhed by Oſwald in
the Year of our LORD 983 (e), which ſtood not long before that
and the City were deſtroyed by Hardicute (f), who, to revenge the
Death of two of his Collectors here Nain 4 Nones of May 1041, fent .
his Forces under the Command of ſeveral of his Nobles, enjoining
them to ſlay all without Mercy, to rifle and burn the City, and to
lay waſte the Country. On the ſecond of the Ides of Nov. they be-
gan to put this cruel Command of the King in Execution, and for Four
Days ravaged and ſpoiled at Pleaſure: But the Countrymen (fore-ap-
prized of their Danger) were fled, and the Citizens retired with their
Wives and Children into a ſmall Iſand, called Bevereye, encompaſſed
by the Severn, about two Miles above the City, where they man-
fully defended themſelves, and making their Peace, they had Li-
berty given them to return Home, but found their City fack'd' and
burnt. How long this Church lay in Ruins, or whetlier patched
up for Divine Service before Biſhop Wulf'an's Time, is' not men
tioned by any of our Hiſtorians; but the Worceſter Annals tell us,
that he it was that began to build a New. One a little more to the
South of the Old One, A. D. 1084; and in the Year 1089, Indi&tion

Monaſtery, into which on Wnit ſunday he removed the Monks, whoſe
Nuinber he had augmented from little more than Twelve to Fifty (8 !
And at the ſame Time he offered up at the High Altar his Deed',
whereby he
gave
them for their better Maintenance Fifteen Hides at
Alfefiun, which had been a long time with-held from the Church by
Men in Power, but recovered by him from King Willianz the Firſt,
wih much Labour and Coft. It is ſaid of him, that upon the rema-

St. Oſwald, and the other to St. Peter and St. Wufilan (i). In 1220,
in the Time of William de Bleys, W. de Bradewe being then Sacriſt,
the great Bells: were Caſt and Conſecrated by that Biſhop to the
Honour of our Saviour and his mother, and Hauteclere, to the
Honour of St. John the Evangeliſt (m).
In 1222, about the Feaſt of St. Andrew, a violent Storm of Wind
and Rain and Thunder blew down the two leſſer Towers of the
Church and did a great deal of Damage (n).
In 1224 it was new fronted, Biſhop Bleys laying the Foundation
Stone. The Choir antiently extended Weſtward to the ſecond Pil-
lar below the Belfry, and when carried further Eaſtward.beyond the
Belfry, it was raiſed about Forty Inches, and a Fine Vault made
under it, and the ſide Iles of it, with ſeveral Rows of Fine Stone
Pillars ; the whole. Work being above Eleven Foot high, and is
in Length - 60 Feet, which is half the Length of the Choir and no
more, the Earth that came out of it raiſed the other half where is
King John's Tomb and the high Altar. It has been aſſerted, that
the Corps of King John, if interred here muſt lie within his Tomb
above Ground, and that the Bodies of Biſhop Wolftan de Brainsford,
and a Knight Templar of the Name of Mortimer, in the North
ſide Ile do the ſame, for that there can be no Grave dug in this
Part ; but it is a miſtake, the Vault not reaching to either of theſe
Tombs, ſo that Graves may be eaſily dug there. The Pillars of
this Choir and of our Lady's Chạppel behind it,, were beautified by
Biſhop Giffard (who was alſo. Lord Chancellor of England) by
interlaying little Pillars, as it is ſaid by ſome, of Marble, which
he faſtned to the former with little Rings of Copper guilt ; but
when examined cloſely they appear to be of a caſt Material, which
being poliſhed reſembles grey Marble.
After this in Biſhop Wakefield’s Time, who was high Treaſurer
of England, many great Works were undertaken and finiſhed.

1372 : The Refectory or Monks-hall adjoining to it, where now the
School is kept 120 Feet long and 64 broad was built the ſame
Year. The Tower or Belfry 162 Feet high, was finiſhed in 1374;
for the Building of which, the Church of Wolverly was in ſpecial
Terms impropriate. The vaulted Roof of Stone over the Choir
and the great Croſs Ile in 1376, and that over the Nave of the
Church in 1377, it is of Tufſtone, the Tophus of the Ancients, a
rough light hollow Stone (0). The heigth of it over the Choir is
twenty Yards two Feet, in the great Croſs Ile twenty one Yards
one Foot, in the Nave twenty one Yards one Foot eight Inches. The
Water-Gate, the Library and Dormitory were built the ſame Year
1378. The Infirmary and Stalls in the Choir 1379. The Body
lengthened by the Addition of two Arches, and the great Weſt
Window 1380. The North Porch of the Church 1386. In all
which Years Henry Wakefield was Biſhop, John Lindſey Sacriſt and
Willian Poer Cellerar. The length of the Church from Eaſt to
Weſt is 394 Feet and ſomewhat better, of which the Choir takes
up 120, the breadth of the Body and Side Iles is 78 Feet, and of
the Choir and Side Iles 94.
Upon the finiſhing the great Tower the Bells were taken out
of the Clochium or Leaden Steeple the Baſe of which was Right
Sided. The height of the Stone Work was 60 Feet, equal to the
Battlement of the Church, the Diameter of the Baſe 61 Feet, and
the thickneſs of the Wall ten Feet. On the Baſe ſtood a Spire fifty
Yards high, and the Weather Cock food level to that of St. Andrews.
It was covered with lead, and the whole was in height from the
Ground 70 Yards. St. Andrews Exceeding it but by Seven Yards,
The Timber being all Iriſh Oak, was not ſawed but wrought with

Leaden Spire, with one or two more at Tork, but no certain Ground
for it. The Bells were Anciently but Five, and were probably
equal to thoſe of York, of which the biggeſt or Hauteclere, weighed
6600 lb. There are now Eight, but caſt at ſeveral Times with

During the continuance of the King's Court and Caſtle here,
the Precincts of the Church were very ſtrait or ſcant as it were
pent up between the South-ſide of the Church and the North-ſide
of the Caſtle, to remedy which King Henry 3. in the Year 1232
gave them one Moiety of his Caſtle with all Rights and Privileges
thereto belonging (9), on part whereof the preſent Cloyſter was
afterwards built. Then was the Caſtle divided by the Prior and Con-
vent with an embatteľd Wall from the Remainder of the other Moi-

čalld King Fohn's Tower and ſaid by ſome to be built by him: But it
was much more Antient, having in the Front of it, the Statue of
King Eägar and his two Queens, Ethelfeda and Ethelfrida and the
Street it leads into is called in ſeveral Writings Edgar-Street. With-
out this embatteľd Wall from the Tower they had an unqueſtionable
Right to a Paſſage or Freeboard ot leaſt 16 Feet wide; the Benefit
or Freedom of which Paſſage to the River did much advantage the
convenience and healthfulneſs of all that part of the City, but this
Paſſage is now wholly taken away by the Out-County, the Goal be-
ing contiguous to it, and the Goaler pretending that Paſſage to have
been the Occaſion of the Loſs of ſome of his Priſoners.
In the Weſt Cloyſter there are ſtill to be ſeen the remains of a La-
vatory between the Dormitory and the Refectory, which was ſupply'd
with Water by an Aqueduct from Hilnwick Hill. Tryal had been
made to bring it from the Moors and Springs in the Priors Park at
Batenhall : After that from 'a Spring above Hardwick Court in the
Grounds near St. John's Green, called Swanpool. But the moſt
plentiful Spring being that on Hilnwiek Hill, and the whole Farm
of Hilnwick then belonging to the Church, they brought it from
thence. It was diſtant from the Cloyſter about 1600 Yards, they
brought it along Hilton-Lane, over the City Bridge under the pitch'd
Pavement there, and ſo along the Streets by the ſides of the River
to their Cloyſter. They did this by the King's Authority and the
Conſent of the City. King: Henry the Iyth's Deed injoyning the
Bailiffs and all his Officers to be Aiding and Alliſting to them in
it, and commanding that they ſhould have free Liberty at all Times
to-mend their Pipes when broken, bears Date Sth of May in the 8th
Year of his Reign.(r).
At the ſame time there was a Compoſition made and interchange-
ably Sealed between' tlie Prior and Gonvent on one Part, and the
Bailiffs and Aldermen of the City on the other Part, they having thien

Mayor. The Condition of the Prior and Convents Part was thus.
expreſſed, That for the more worſhip of the Bailiffs and Aldermen,
their Maces might be born before them within the precincts of the
Cemitory or Sanctuary altho out of the Liberty of the City, and like-
wife in the Pariſh of St. John's in Bedwardine. Whither in purſuance
of this Compoſition the Citizens do yearly walk in their Formalities
and with their Maces on the Fair-Day of St. John's, being the
Friday before Palm-Sunday, and the Day before the great Fair at
Worceſter. The Condition on the Part of the Citizens was, That
the Prior and Convent ſhould have Liberty to lead their Conduit-Pipe
of the Aqueduft, over the Bridge and through ſuch Streets and Lanes
es were moſt convenient. Many Houſes and Chimneys were after-
wards built on ſome of thoſe by Lanes, even upon the Leaden Pipe,
but ſo as not to prejudice the Aqueduct, which in the Time of the
Civil Wars was every where Torn up.
There was formerly a fair Stone-Croſs in the Church-Yard, which
was the uſual Preaching-Place, as at St. Paul's London. There were
allo Seats for the Chief of the City on the North-fide of the Church,
but South from the Croſs, much reſembling thoſe of St. Paul's : But
thoſe Seats together with the Sacriſt's Lodgings were turned into a
Houſe for the firſt Prebend.
This Croſs was demoliſhed in the time of the Civil Wars, after which
the place of Preaching was at the bottom of the Cathedral Church;
the Chief Citizens ſate on the Stone-Bench under the great Weſt Win-
dow,a blew Arras Cloth being ſpread thereon, the Biſhop Dean and Pre-
bends fate on the South-ſide of the Church, over-a-gainſt the ſecond
Arch from the Weſt; the Biſhop and Dean in ſeveral Chairs, the
Prebends on a Stone-Bench covered with a like blew Cloth, with
Robert Alchurch Subprior his Fancy or Rebus on it; which at a hun-
dred Years diſtant from his Time look'd very freſh, although it was
uſed Weekly.
Near to the Place where this Croſs ſtood, there was very Antiently a
famous Monumental Building of White-Stone, over the Graves of Duke

little to contain the Multitudes that came to hear him, and that of
St. Mary was not then built : it was pulled down in King Edward's
Days to inlarge the Presbytery. At a Mile diſtance, Northwards from
this Croſs there was juſt ſuch another Structure raiſed of White
Stone, which gave Name to the Place now called Whitftanes, where
alſo ſtood the Nunnery of the White-Ladies.

OW to come to the Monuments : I'will begin with his firſt,
who is the ancienteſt in England of all his Majeſty's Royal
and Lineal Anceſtors from William the Conqueror, King John I mean;
for Henry the Firſt, altho' he was interred in his magnificent Ab-
by at Reading, yet is he involved in the Ruins and deformed Heaps
of that confuſed Chaos. Hither was the Body of thiş King whep
he had clos'd his Eyes in that turbulent Night of this Realm, con-
ducted by his Faithful Subject and Servant, that glorious Son of En-
gland, William Marſhall Earl of Pembroke. In the Choir before the
high Altar, on a fair raiſed Marble Monument, lieth his Portraiture

in his Royal Ornaments, wearing a Crown on his Head, wherein
is written, JOHANNES REX ANGLIÆ, in his right
Hand a Scepter (now broken), his left on his Sword hanging by
his Side, at his Feet a Lyon Rampant Or; and below in eight feve-
ral Panes, Gules, three Lyons Paſſant gardant Or. So ſhineth he
all in Gold, between two Biſhops cenſing him, ſignifying, I think
St. Oſwald, and St. Wolftan, between whoſe two Sepulchres or
Shrines, he bequeathed his Body to Reſt; for on the North-ſide, under v..
the Wall of the Choir St. Oſwald, Archbiſhop of Tork, and Biſhop of
Worceſier was buried, where there was a plain Marble Stonė, now
gone, unleſs that were his Tomb or Monument which being raiſed
on the Outſide of the ſame Wall, reſembleth a Biſhop veſted for
the Altar, with his Mitre on his Head, ſupported with two An-
gels, and a Lyon at his Feet, all under an Arch, and ſomewhat
defaced. And on the South and outward Wall of the Choir, an-
ſwerable to this, is St. Wolſton's raiſed Monument, repreſenting a
Biſhop with a rich Mitre, and gləriouſly veſted in his Pontificali-
bus, at his Head and Feet Angels, and on the side of the Tomb,
St. Peter and St. Paul with other Saints, on ſeveral Panes engraved.
The Figure of the King as big as the Life and the two Biſhops
at his Head in little, are carved in one Stone of grey Marble, which
ſeemeth to be as Antient as the time of Henry the Third; but the
Altar Tomb on which it is placed, is of a Modern Fabrick. It
hath no Inſcription, but in Matth. Paris there is this Epitaph.
Hoc in Sarcophago ſepelitur Regis imago
Qui moriens mult un ſedavit in orbe tumult unz
Et cui connexa dum vixit probra manebant
Hunc mala poſt mortem timor eft nefata Sequantur
Qui legis hæc metuens dum cernis te moriturum
Diſcito quid rerum pariat tibi meta dierun.

Head and Feet, and in three ſeveral Panes, on either ſide quarterly,
France and England, with a Label of three, Argent Above which,

A Survey of the Cathedral
W.
The other Arms, as well of the King as Prince of Wales, becauſe
they were before moſt eminent in the Cappel, I will not here again
blazon.
The laſt I mean to touch, which being the double Roſe
within the Garter, and changeably over the Tomb of a great Lady
buried at the Feet of St. Wolftan, giveth ſome occaſion to a Fable,
that this was the Counteſs of Salisbury, who bluſhing at the Loſs
of her Garter in a Dance, miniſtred Matter to King Edward the
Third to inſtitute the moſt Ancient and Honourable Order of the
Garter, never conſidering, that the terrible Diſſention and Union of
theſe Roſes were many Years after the Death of King Edward the
Third ; wherefore leaving theſe Roſes within the Garter (ſignifying
that Noble Knighthood) as an Ornament only of Prince Arthur's
Chappel, I will digreſs and decend to this Lady's raiſed Monument
lodged in Earth under this ſtately Chapel : On her Head ſhe hath
a Veil, on her Chin a Wymplet or deep Muffler, which I conjecture
to be an Enſign of Honour, in her Hands lifted up to Heaven a
pair of Beads dependant, on her inward Garment in divers ſmall
Eſcocheons, Or, a frett Gules; on her Mantle in like Faſhion Che-
kee, Or and Azure, at her Feet a Talbot, the Side of the Tomb
conſiſting of five Panes 'engraved with the Images of St. Paul and
other Saints. I conjecture by the Arms on her Garment, being the
Lord Verdon's, that ſhe was of that Noble Family, and by thoſe on
her Mantle, being Warren's Earl of Surrey, that ſhe was Counteſs
of Surrey by Marriage. (a).
(a) This is confirmed by the following Paſſage in a Book, intituled, ---Nicolai Uptoni de ſtudio
Militari, libri quatuor. Johannis de Bado aureo, Tractarus de Armis. Henrici Spelmanni Aſpi-
Jogia. Edwardus Biffæus & Codicibus M. S. S. primus publici juris fecit, nontiſque illuftra-
vit. Lond. 1654. fol. In Henricum Spelmannum Notæ, pag. 94.
Monumentum hoc ad auftrum in Choro Ecclefiæ Cathedralis Worceftriæ pofitum, in marmore Juma
ma arte excifum, ob antiquitatem (cum ab Henrici tertii temporibus duraverit, quod ex habitu ifti-
us Domine aliaque Sculptura facile colligimus) hunc locum meruit
. Paterno genere ex familia Verdo-
norum fuit, & conjux cujufdam Comitis Surriæ, « Warrennis ; veftis enim Interior Verdonorum,
babet infignia, Exterior Warrennorum, per quem morem ortum. & conjugia Heroinæ olim exprime-
bant, nec vetuftius ufquam temere reperias, iraque bujus loci merito eft.

In the 'Ile on the North-ſide of this Choir oppoſite to the Door
under the ſecond Window is a raiſed Monument of a Biſhop.veſted
for the Altar and Mitred, ſuppoſed by ſome to be the Tomb of St.
Wolfian de Brainsford. But Mr. Abingdon is doubtful whether it he
a Biſhop or Prior, if it be a Prior, it is the moſt likely to be the
Tomb of John de Eveſham, who died March the 27. '1.370, and was
buried in the North Ile, being one of the firſt Priors interred in the
Church (a): for in the Window over his Tomb in the ſecond
Pane was the Partraiture of a Prior with two Mitres one on his
Head and the other in his left Hand, and in his right a Staff Au-
thority, and written JOHANNES EVESHAM.PRIOR PRIVILE-
GIUM DE MITRA......
On the Ground by him towards the Eaſt, is an antient Tomb
of the holy Voyage armed all in 'Mail ſaving his Face, and clad in
a Soldiers Coat, his right Hand on his Sword, on his left Arm his-
Shield, lis Legs croſſed and at,lis Feet 'a-Lyon, he beareth no Ar-
moty but in the firſt Pane of the Window over him iwas Gules,.a
Frelle between ſex Croſſes Groflets:Or, on tlie Feſſe a Creſcent Sable,
for difference, tle Arms of the Beauchamps, ſo it is probable this
was the Tomb of Sir James. Beauchanip Knight Templar.

Mors vitam eripit, non interimit, quia licet inortui eſſe deſinant, non

et in die noviſſimo reſurgent mortui. Monumentum monet men-
tem non fugæ, fed tranſlationis, non enim e vita fugere, ſed exire
dicimur, ut ubi ſepelitur peccatum cum peccante, reſurgat peccans
ſine peccato. Venientem nemo hilaris mortem recipit, niſi qui ſe
ad illam diu compoſuerit, ſed de tumulo ſollicitus, quod expectat
ſemel certo, exoptat ſæpe ſerio, ut qui in freto laborum diu navi-
gavit, in portu ſecuritatis et ſalutis tandem requieſcat. Hanc ipſam
quam agimus, vitam cum morte dividimus quotidie, quia cum creſ-
cimus ipſi decreſcit vita ; et licet unus ſit vitæ introitus, multi ta-
men ſunt exitus ; Nec enim nobis hac in vita peregrinantibus lia-
bitandi domum, ſed commorandi diverſorium dedit Deus.
He died at Hartlebury 3. July 1641, Aged 94.

Next to this is an Antient raiſed Monument with Marble Pil-
lars and formerly gilded, but being deſtitute of Arms and Infcripti-
ons and in a ruinous Condition, we cannot ſay for whom it was
erected ; tho it is ſaid by ſome to be the Tomb of Lacy Earl of
Lincoln.
Below this on the Ground under the ſecond Window, there is
a Stone Coffin of an Honourable Lady, which was removed hithe
from the South Side of the Chappel of the Charnel Houſe 13. Jan.
1636 thereon is her Portraiture, curiouſly wrought of caft Marbe
and of more than ordinary Sizec, her Head circled with a Cors-
net, and on her Chin a wimplet, uſed antiently by great Perb-
nages only; on her Breaſt her right Hand being bare, and ſomewhat
lower on her Body, her left Hand with her Glove on, and holdng
the Glove of the right Hand, which, according to the ritual of
Marriage fignified a Maiden to be married, but who ſhe was is not
known. Ex Cartis Th. Abing don.

Monument to a Mangle-Tree; but was worthily reſtored by Mr.
Nathaniel Tomkins, who, doubtful wliere it firſt ſtood, placed it here.
It is likely this Portraiture was over ſome Prelate, who being elected.

ing the Word of God, and boldly rebuking the Vices of his Time; in
particular their unlawful Marriages and heatheniih Practices, fetting
before them the dreadful Puniſhments that would follow them. That
he was very remarkable for his Sanctity, Humility, and good Works,
in which he abounded, being a' Father to the Fatherles, a Reliever
of Widows, a Comforter of the oppreſſed. In a Word, one dear to
God and Men, and to the King for his Prudence, Equity, Learnirg,

Pall from Rome (a) where was heard the Cauſe of Abbeſs Hrotware,
the Grand-daughter of Dunnan, and the Daughter of Bucgan, to whom
King Æthelred, with his Viceroy Ojher, had given twenty Caſſats of
Land at pidianoun, now withington, near the River Tillath, there
to build a Monaſtery, in which ſhe alone preſided, and upon lier Death-
bed bequeathed it to her Daughter's Daughter; but ſhe being not of
Age, ſhe left the Management of it, with the Deeds of the Land, to
her Mother, during her Minority; who, when requeſted afterwards
to deliver up the fame, ſhe refuſed, and ſaid they were loſt or ſtol'n.
Upon which the Synod decreed the Abbeſs Hrotware to be in full and
lawful Poſſeſſion of the fame, and anathematized thoſe that had any
hand in ſurreptitiouſly taking away the Writings : As alſo, that after
the Death of Hrotware, the Land ſhould return to the Epiſcopal See
of wegrinceltrt, according as it had been at firſt ſettled. To this
ſubſcribed ſeveral other Billops, beſides Biſhop Wilfrid; among the

Biſhop of Hereford, who came to that See the ſame Year the other
died, ſo that we may truly place it under this Year (1).

appears from the Letters of Boniface, Archbiſhop of Ment2, to the
King and the Archbiſhop of Canterbury, commending the former for
his charitable good Works both to Church and Poor, but blaming him
for leading a looſe debauched Lite, contemning Marriage, and corrup-

upon the Privileges of Churches and Monaſteries, and ſpoiling them

Year 743, he gave to Oſred of the Royal Family of the Wiccians,
twenty Caſſats of Land at Eartune and Natangnafum, aton and

In 747 he was at the great Synod of Coverhoe, and ſubſcribed to the
Canons of it, in which, among other Things it was declared, That
Divine Juſtice could not be ſatisfied by the Merits or good Works of
others. The occaſion of this was a certain rich Man's aſſerting, that
he had made fuch full Expiation for his Sins, by the Faſtings and
Prayers of others, and their recital of Pſalms for him, that if he
ſhould live 300 Years he needed not to faſt, or repeat Pfalms himſelf.
If Divine Juftice, ſays the Council, can be thus appeas'd by others,
why is it ſaid in the Goſpel, that it is eaſier for a Camel to go thro»
a Needle's Eye, than for a rich Man to enter into the Kingdom of
Heaven, when they can ſo readily purchaſe the good Works of others.
Let no Man deceive himſelf, God deceiveth no Man, u ho ſays by his
Apoſtle, We Mall all ſtand before the Judgment Seat of Chriſt, &c.
Our Saxon Anceſtors dream'd of no ſuch Thing as the Penance of one
being communicated to another, or of a Treaſury of Merits in the
Church, or of praying Souls out of Purgatory (a). In his Time King
Ethelt ald freed all the Churches and Monaſteries of his King:lom from
paying any Taxes, except to the building of Forts and Bridges (6).
Not long after his Acceſſion to this See, thefaid King Ethelbaldgave to this

Church of the Ever-bleſſed Virgin Mary, where the Bodies of his
Parents lay buried, Sceppaeirceune, for the better keeping a good
Table, and that the Poor there inhabiting might partake thereof (b).
When this good Biſhop died is not certain ; the Saxon Chronicle
ſays it was in the Year 772. But this muſt be falſe; for in 774, In-
diction 12, there is extant a Deed of his, reciting that he the humble
Biſhop of the Wiccians, with the Servants of God under his Care,
did willingly give to Abbeſs Æthelburgh, the Daughter of Ælfred,
for her Life, the Land belonging to the Monaſtery called Pudiandun,
now Withington, on the Weſt Side of the River Cilath, contain-
ing twenty one Manſes, which Land was given him by Abbefs Hroth-
-beare, the Grandaughter of Dunnan, to whom it was firſt given by
Oſher, Viceroy of the Wiccians, with the Conſent of his Lord King
Ethelred. And it was covenanted, that after her Death it ſhould re-
turn to the Church of St. Peter in meogernce@re, where is the Pon-
tifical See of the Wiccians (C). We muſt therefore place his Death
after this; Florence and the Worceſter Annals are rather to be credited,
who ſay, he died in 775. To him ſucceeded
: WEREMUND, of whom little is left us, but that he was Witneſs to
two Deeds of King Offa's; in the firſt of which he gave five Manſes
at Ductune and Ærig, near Winterburne in Glouceſterſhire, to the

Bucgan, and their Daughter Heburge. This Deed is ſaid to be ſigned

he had from Aelfrid, Etheleard, and Biſhop Egcuuin (b). We find
no more of him, but that he died in the Beginning of the next Year
781. And in his room quickly fucceeded.
EATHORED, HEATHORED, (c) HATHORED, or (d) ETHELRED..
For in this fame Year 781, Indiction 4. (e), at a Synod at øregantford,
where were preſent. King Ofa, Arclibiſhop lambert, and ſeveral
other Biſhops, Abbots and Princes, the King claimed from the Biſhop
of the Wiccians 90 Manſes, at Beatyum, 30 at Stretfogó, 38 at
Stuttg. 14 at Stute in ufmerum, 12 at Breodune, and 17 in
Homture, as the Lands of his near Kinſman King Ethelbald, to which
fie faid they hadi no hereditary Right. To compound this Matter,
Heathored, with the Advice and Conſent of his Family, in Wegerne
City, gave to the King tlie famous Monaſtery at Bath, to hold to
himſelf and his Heirs, and to give to whom he pleaſed :: To which
they added 30 Caſſats of Land, lying on the South Side of the River
afen there, which tliey bought of Cynewulf, King of the Weſt
Saxons. In Conſideration of which; for Unanimity and Peace be-
tween them, the King confirmed' unto them all the other Lands at
Stretford, Stute, Breedone, Homptone, and Sture in Uſmerum,
aforementioned. This Year the King kept his Chriſtmas at Tamopon-

An Account of the
to the Church of St. Mary, inſtead of:8 Caſars at Sapian, the Village
called Jccancumb, or Icarumb (a), both which Deeds bear Date on
St. Stephen's Day, and to both ſubſcribed Billop Heathored. We meet
with nothing more about him till the famous Synod of Calchuty or Chal-
chuth, or Celchithr, which Spelman ſays was in the Year 787, but
in. Hemming's Chartulary it is placed in the Year 789 (6). Whenever it
was, he had there a Controverſy with one Wulfheard, the Son of
Cuffan, concerning the Inheritance of Hemeleſs and Duda, at Intan-
beorg and Bradanlæg, Inkl arcw and Bradley, which they gave
after their Deceaſe to the Church at wrogozncetter, and which
WVulf heard endeavoured to defraud them of. The Biſhop proved his
Right to them, but for Peace fake he agreed that Wulfheard ſhould
have them for his Life, and that at his Death they ſhould be reſto-
red to tlac Church, where the Bodies of Henieleſs and Duda were
depoſited. There has been a Diſpute amongſt our Antiquaries, where
this Calchuth or Chalchuth, or Celchithe, was. The Author of the
Antiquities of the Britiſh Churches, places it in Northumberland (c),
Hollingſhead, more rightly, in the Kingdom of agercia, but where, he
has not told us. Serenus Crely, in his Church Hiſtory taken from
Alford, thinks it was Chelſea (d), which he tells us Cambden found
in an antient Deed written Chelchehith, but that was out of the
Kingdom of mercia. If I may be allowed to give my private Opi-
nion, I take it rather to be Henley upon the Thames, which was the
Calleva Attrebatum ; and in ſome Copies of Ptolemy truly wrote
KALKOUA (e). The Word Calcuth or Chalchith, ſignifies a Station
for Boats at a Chalky Place, and to this the Situation of Henley an-
ſwers, it lying upon the River Thames, at the End of the Chalk ar
Chiltern Hills. It was a noted Town in the Romau and saxon Times,
not far diſtant from Abingdon, formerly called Covelho, where, as.

well as here, were frequently held Councils and Synods under the
Mercian Kings. And at a Synod at Cloveſhoas, held in the Year 794.
37 of Offa, did our Biſhop Heatbored recover from Earl Bynna, five
Manſes at auưan, which had been given by King Ethelred to Ofts-
for, and confirmed by King Ethelbald, and was then unjuſtly with-
held from them (a). In his Time alſo did Of a give to this Church
at Scottanit Shotery, to which he added 3 more at Hellereloge ().
He alſo
gave to the Monks of S.t Mary one Manſe at Bradewelle (c).
About this Time did Duke Wilfrith, with his Lady Alta, give (d)
Lin-drug with its Appurtenances, to the Church of the moſt bleſſed
Prince of the Apoſtles St. Peter, in Wigozne City, where the Bo-
dies of their Parents lay, viz. 15 Caſſats in Onitatun and cowana
ham, and Eardulfeđun, with their Vills. For a Memorial of them,
and of this their Gift, there was erected over their Graves, as ſoon
as buried, a Croſs of White Stone of curious Workmanſhip, after the
Manner of the Antients: Near unto which, in after Times, Biſhop
Oſwald uſed to preach unto the Multitude that flocked to hear him.
The Church of St. Peter's belonging to the Epiſcopal See being too
little to hold them, and the Monaſtery of St. Mary begun to be re-
built by him, being not then finiſhed. Which famous Croſs laſted till
the Time of King Edward, when Alric, Brother of Berteach, enlar-
ging the Presbytery of the Church of St. Peter, took it down, and
mixed the Stone with his other Work. At the Diſtance of one Mile
Northward from this famous Croſs, without the City of Worceſter
there was another erected of white Stone, after the ſame Manner, at
a Place called, from thence to this Day, whiteltan, or whitelfone ;
and this laſted till King William's Time, when it was pulled down,
and the Stone made uſe of for building a Lavatory for the Monks (e)
Between 791 and 795 did Offa, in a Council held at Cloffelhoas, give
for the Health of his Soul, to his faithful Miniſter Æthelmund, 55

An tíccount of the
Callats at Wetvurg, near the River Aven: To which Deed bötlı
the Archbiſhops, Higlert of Litchfield firſt, and then Æthelheard of
Canterbury with Eathored ſubſcribed (a). Now Ethelheard came
to the Sce of Canterbury in the Year 791, and 795 was thc laſt Year
of King Ofa. Soon after this may be placed the Deed we meet
with, Heni. Chart. p. 101, wliere Ofa gave all the Land at Welby-
rig, riz. 60 Manſes, and at veanbyrig 20 more, to Wirogerna:
reifre after his Death, and the Death of his Son Escfrith, for the
Health of his, and his Parents Souls, as long as the Chriſtian Faith
Should remain in Britain (b). For to this Deed ſubſcribed Æthela
heard and Heathored, but not Hyglert, whofe Death Alford in his
Annals places in the Year 795. The next Year, on the 4th of the
Kal. Auguſt, died the famous King Offa, and in a few Months follow-
ing his Son Ecgfrith, who reigned but 141 Days. Before his Death he
gave to his faithful Prince Eshelmund three Caſſats, at Huntenatun,
to hold after the fame Manner as Aldred and Uhtred had granted
thiem formerly to Beorharde (C). This Deed was made in the famous
Monaſtery at Bath, to which ſubſcribed Æthelard, Archbiſhop of
Canterbury, Ealdulf, then elected Biſhop of Litchfield, and our Biſhop
Eathored, who, according to Florence and the Worceſter Annals, di-
ed the next Year 798. And in his room ſucceeded

Beckford, in this Dioceſe (a), which did of old belong to the Church
of Hereford: He ſued for his Procurations, paſiune fum, at theſe two
Places, which Wulf heard refuſed to pay hin, alledging, that for above
thirty Years laſt paſt none of liis Predeceſſors ‘lad received them; but
lie proved that Biſhop Wermund had received them at Beccanfort,
and Biſhop Hathored at Celtanhommi, and that Wulfheard him-
ſelf had given him Money for the ſame; upon which the Archbiſhop
decreed, that for the future he ſhould liave lialf Procurations one Year
at Beccanfoid, and the next, another half at Celtanhomme, to which
he agreed for liis Life, but would not bind his Succeſſors (V). In
this Synod did the fame Biſhop Wulfheard promiſe to Tenel at and
his Family, in Weogozne City, and confirmed it with the Sign of the
Crofs, that he would in no wiſe break the Compact that he had made
with his Predeceſſor Heathored, concerning the Lands at Tutanbron
gan and at Bradanleage, Inkberrow and Bradley (c). There was
another Synod held here at Tlovelho the Year following (d), where
Æthelric, the Son of Æthelmund, produced his Deeds, and proved
his Title to lis Lands at weinenter (e). And it was adjudged by
King. Coenwulf, and Archbiſhop #thelard and his Nobles, and all the
Synod, that it was free for him to give them to wliom he pleaſed.
Theſe he commended to the Care of ſome of his Friends, whilſt he went
to Rome for the Health of his Soul to viſit the Sepulchres of St. Peter
and St. Paul, and upon his Return to his own Country he diſpoſed of
them as follows: To Deorheett, for his Father Æthelmund and lim-
ſelf if he should happen to be buried there, Todanhom and at Sture,
Scræfleh and Cohhanleah, on Condition that they performed wliat
they liad promis'd to him. To Werferthe he gave 11 Manſes, at Brr-
meſgrefan and Tectantom, for his Life, and after that to Wle goz-
naceltre. Thirty Manſes under Dfre lie gave to 6'eawerelre, and

An Account of the
Manſes at Wełmynter and at Stoce, to enjoy them for her Life,
and after that to go to the Church of Wieogozne ; and to this Deed,
among others, Denebyrt ſubſcribed. He was alſo preſent at the Coun-
cil of Celcheth, 6 Kal. Aug. 816 (a), where Cenwulf preſided, with
Archbilliop Wulfred; and among other Things it was there ordained,
that no Biſhop, Abbots or Abbeſſes ſhould grant away any of their
Lands, without Conſent of their Families, and but for one Life; and
that for the future, the Year of our Lord ſhould be put to their Deeds,
as well as their Names ſubſcribed. I ſuppoſe it was ſome little Time
before this Council (there being no Date to the Deed) that with the
Content of his Venerable Family in Wegerna City, he gave to Bal-
thun, a Presbyter of their own Church, a modeſt and good Man,
and a faithful and dear Friend unto it, 6 Manſes, at Beardmodellea,
and eight at Collesbúrnan in Glouceſterſhire, the former for his Life,
and the Life of whomſoever he ſhould leave them to, and the latter
for his Life and two Lives more, and then to return to the ſaid
Church (b). With their Conſent he alſo gave to Eanſwithe two
Çaſſats, at Herefoztune, for her Life (c), and for this ſhe was to
mend and waſh, and augment the Linnen belonging to the Church,
To him, his faithful and venerable Biſhop, and to his Family at Wes-
gerne City, did King Coenwolf give the Diet of twelve Men, which
did of Right belong to that City, and for this they gave him thir-
teen Manſes, viz. the Monaſtery called Bitumæuni, conſiſting of
three Manſes, and ten more on the Weſt Side Severn: And thus an
End was put to ſome Differences that had been between them (d).
This, was done at Tomowozthig; in the Year 814, Indiction 7, on
the 7th of the Kalends of January, and in the eighteenth Year of his
Reign. And by another Deed bearing the fame Date, he gave them
one Caſſat of Land, at yunhamlede (e). And in the ſame Year
he exchanged with them eight Manſes at Sture, for twelve of theirs,

In the Year 817 he gave them three Manſes at Slufond, on the Welt
Side the River Sture; as, alſo Salowarpe and Hamtun, Beorne and
Brodon (©). And by another Deed he gave them after his Death,
terran triginta tributariorun, at Fledanbury (d). Florence of Wor.

done, he died in 814, leaving his Son Kenelm feven Years old, who,
was murthered by the Treachery of his eldeſt siſter Quendrida, in
hopes to ſucceed him, but ſhe iniſs’d of her Aim; for Ceolulph, Co-
enzolf's Brother ſtepped in, and after a Year's Reign was depoſed by
Bernulf in the Year 821. And in the Year following, viz. 822. this

the ſame, where afterwards the Biſhops of Worceſter had a Palace for
the Conveniency of attending the King's Courts and Affairs of Par.

An Account of the
Canterbury, on the 7th Ides of June, being Whitſunday (a), and was
this Year Witneſs to a Deed of ten Manſes at marnanılive, which
one Cered liad purchaſed of Burhred King of the Mercians, for a
thouſand Sicles, and which after liis Death came to his Wife Wer.
thrythe, wlio deſirous to go to Rome, perhaps along with thie King,
fold the fame to Cuthulf, one of the King's Miniſters, in the Preſence
of all the Nobles of the Province of the Wiccians; and he afterwards,
for the Health of his Soul, gave them to the Church of Wigrecef:
tre (b). Soon after this King Burhred being expelled by the Danes
went to Rome, and there died, and was buried in the Church of St.
Mary, belonging to the School of the Saxons. Upon his deſerting his
Kingdom, the Danes ravaged it from one End to the other, and in
the Year 874 fet up Çeolulfus for King, on Condition that whenever
required le ſhould peaceably reſign the ſame unto them (c). This
Ceolwulf, at the Requeſt of Biſhop Werfrithe and his Family in
Weogernaceffre, in the Year 875, granted that the Parochia or Dio-
ceſe of the Hzeiccians ſhould be free from providing Food for the
King's Horſes, and thoſe that led them: Upon which the Biſhop
gave the King fix Manſes at mægleskozd, and promiſed, that in all the
Monaſteries of his Juriſdiction Prayers ſhould be daily made for the
Forgiveneſs of his Sins. Then alſo the King agreed with, and gave
him ſixty Marks of Gold, that lie miglit enjoy this Land for his Life,
and three Lives more, and then to return to Weogerne City (d). In
the fame Year he gave to the Monaſtery of St. Mary fix Caſſats, at
Ufere breodun, or Wiferebiri, with the Villages of Cantuaretun
and pronedoc, and all that belonged thereto (e). How long Ceolwelf
reigned is not faid, nor when he died; but in his Time the Danes
ſpoiled all his Countrey, and wercia remained no more a Kingdom.

and retired into France, but Ethelred, Duke of the Wiccians, ſtaid
behind, and joined himſelf to Aifred, King of the Weft-Saxons, and
was by him made Commander in chief of all his Forces : For in his
Will, ſaid to be made in 881, he ſtyles him his Princeps Militiæ, and
left unto him a Sword and two thouſand Marks (a). He had
been Partaker with him in all his Adverſities, and having with
him eſcaped all Dangers, he made him Ruler over the Wiccians, and
gave him his Daughter Ethelfleda to Wife. This noble Perſon in
883, Indiction 1, with Leave of King Alfred, gave twelve Hides
at Stoce to Cynulfe, the Son of Ceoluhte, for three Lives, and they
ended, to go for ever to the Sec of Wigogncečer. If the Date of
this Deed be true, then Werferth was returned from France, for he
was a Witneſs to it (b). He, no doubt, came over at the Requeſt of
King Alfred again, to take care of his Church: And it is faid that he
brought over along with him a learned Man, named Grimbald (c). In
this fame Year Alford places the coming in of Johannes Erigena Scotus,
called John Scot (c), another learned Man, who had been a long
time in France, in the Service of Charles the Bald: And about this
Time it is very probable that this great King, a true Lover of Learn-
and learned Men, called to his Court Plegmund, afterwards Arch-
biſhop of Canterbury, Æthelſtan and Werwulf, out of Merria, and
ater out of Wales, whom he highly valued and preferred (d). In
886. King Alfred drove the Danes out of London (b), and re-
paired it, and gave the Rule of it to Duke Ethelred, and his Wife
Ethelflede, the noble and worthy Daughter of that noble and worthy
King, and both theſe proved great Benefactors to the Church of Wor-
cefier. For this Ethelred, Duke, and of the antient Nobility of the
Mercians, in the Year 887, Indict. 55 did give to God and St. Peter,
for the Health of his Soul, and the Stability of the Mercian Kingdom,

Ethelred, Viceroy of the Mercians, with the Conſent of the Senators,

goznaceatre granted hini three Manſes at Suth: Dethfeld, for his
Life, and the Lives of three more after his Death (b). Not long after
this, about the Year 894, Æthelred and Æthelflede rebuilt this City,
which had been ruined by the Danes, and with Leave of King Alfred
and his Nobility, they gave to the Church of St. Peter and Biſhop
Werferth, half of all that belonged to the King, whether in the Mar-
kèt or in the Street, for their better Support and Maintenance; upon
which the Biſhop ordered, that at Morning Song, Evening Song, and
Under Song, ſhould be ſaid for them the Pſalm de profundis, as long as
they lived, and after their Death laudate Deun, and every Saturdzy in
St. Peter's Church thirty Pſalms, with Maſſes (C). In 896, at a great
Meeting of the azarena Men at Gleaweceaữre, he recovered liis Riglit
to three Callats at Wuduceafre, which King Ethelbald had given
to the Church, and had been for ſome time unjuſtly detained from

Death of one Wullaf, Lands that liad been given to his See by King
Cenuulf, for the Health of his Soul (e). In 899 this Werefrid, Biſhop

and for his faithful Friendſhip and Duty, five Manſes, at &adbalding-
tun, near Cunelgnan, now called the Colne, for two Lives (f). About

confirmed to Biſhop Wigfrith five Manſes, at Eatun, by the River
Tharwell, the Writings of which had been loft, and ſo he got from

two Hides of Land at Clifford, near Stratford upon aven (8). In
his ſecond Year died King Edward the Elder, after many Battles fuc-

teft his Kingdom, which then extended over all Britain, to his Son
Æthelftan, who in the ſixth Year of his Reign, An. 929, gave, or ra-

This Biſhop ſubſcribed in the Year 940 to the Deed of Edmund, the
King's Brother, in which he gave Peveſey to the Monaſtery at Win-

as became the Monaſtick Profeſſion, and was remarkable for his
great Humility : The Benedi&iires lay Claim to him as a Monk of
their Order (a). He was ſucceeded by the famous
DUNSTAN, Abbot of Gattonbury, to which he had been preferred
by King Ednund, A. D. 942. . He was much in his Favour, as alſo
in Favour with Edred his Succeſſor, in whoſe Reigns he was inſtru-
mental in turning out the Secular Prieſts, and putting Monks in their
Places; but Edwi ſucceeding the Seculars were re-placed, and Dunft an
baniſhed the Realm. The Monks tell us, that the Caule of Dunſtan's
Diſgrace was his boldly reproving Edwi for his Whoredoms: But
the true Cauſe was, that the King perceiving all the Wealth of the
Land to be crept into Monaſteries, which might have been better
employed in fighting the Danes, he recalled the Gifts his Predeceſſor
had made; and when the Monks refuſed to ſurrender, he became
their Enemy, and perfecuted botlı tliem, and Dünftan their Patron (6).
Upon this Account they gave him as vile a Character as Malice could
invent; that he was ( C ) a Lover of Pleaſures more than a Lover of
God, of Luxury, more than of Sobriety; of Luſt, than Chaſtity;
debaſing by lis Deeds of Obſcenity the Royal Dignity, and unjuſtly
perſecuting virtuous Men, whom he little eſteemed. But Hunting-
don gives him no ſuch Character, and ſays the Country flouriſhed un-
der his Government; and feems to lament his Death (d). His Gift
of feplington, and five Salt Furnaces to this Church, liews that he
was no irreligious Perſon. Upon his Death Edgar ſucceeded, and foon
recalling Dunfian, he made him firſt Biſhop of this See, and the next
Year of London, and after that Archbiſhop of Canterbury. That he

An Account of the
held London and forcefier together is certain; tho? Thoyras in his
Hiſtory of England, Vol. I. p. 396, ſays, That he was only intruſted
with the Management of the Biſhoprick of London; and that this led
ſume Writers into the Miſtake of imagining he was Biſhop of Wor-
ceſier and London at the ſame Time: For Malmesbury calls him Bi-
Shop of London (a). And Eadmer, in his Life of Dunſtan ſays, that he
was compelled to hold both the Sees, ſumma neceſſitate, by abſolute
Neceſſity (b). And Mabillon gives us the fame Reaſon for his tranf-
greſſing the Canons in this Caſe (c). Quod præter ſcita Canonuni
de Sede in Sedem tranſlatus, quod fimul Wigornenfem & Londinenſem,
Cathedram occupavit, id non viri optimi cupiditati aut ambitioni,
Jed eximia ejus Sanétitati, Regum urgentiſſimæ voluntati, atque adeo
Eccleſia Anglicanæ neceſſitati tribuendum eft, factumque repugnante
ſemper Dunſiano. That contrary to the Canons he was tranſlated
from See to See; that he held the Biſhoprick of Worceſter and Lon-
don together, was not to be attributed to the Covetouſneſs and Am-
bition of that good Man, but to the Greatneſs of his Sanctity, the
urgent Deſire of Kings, and to the Neceſſity of the Church of Eng-
land, Dunſtan ſubmitting to it always againſt his Will. He held
them not long together, for in the Year 959 lie was made Archbiſhop
of Canterbury. And A. D. 960 ſucceeded
Oswald, to whom the Monks have given a very great Character,
that lie was a religous, meek, and humble Perſon, early Educated in
the Fear of God, and brought up in holy and good Works (d);
that he was of Shape handſome, as well as of blood noble (e),

biſhop of Canterbury, being his Brother's Son (f) This Uncle of

god, a Maſter, for divine and ſecular Learning inoſt famous; who, at
the Command of that Archbiſhop, had wrote in heroick Verſe the
Life of St. Wilfrid (a). Fully inſtructed in the holy Scriptures, as
well as in other Sciences, he was made firſt Canon of Wincheſter,
and afterwards Dean : But perceiving that the Monks begun to be
the only Clergy in Eſteem, with the Advice of his Uncle he left
Wincheſter, then conſiſting of Secular Prieſts, and went to Fleu-
ry, a famous Monaſtery, of the Order of St. Benedict, ſituated on
the Loyre, nine Leagues from Orleans to the Eaſt. Odo ſent along
with him recommendatory Letters, and many Gifts: and here he be-
came a Monk (6). During his Stay in this Monaſtery, which was
about ſix Years, he was ordained both Deacon and Prieit (c),
and was ſo much in love with the Place, that tho'lis Uncle fre-
quently wrote to him, and iniportuned him to return Home, he could
not prevail, till he ſent him Word of his laſt Sickneſs. Oſwald then
deſirous to have ſeen him once more, made Haſte into England, but
he came too late, for landing at Dover he heard he was dead. Upon
which he would have returned to Fleury, but was perſuaded by his
Companions to go ſee his other Relations; and coming to Oskitel
he was very kindly received, and remained with him at York, till, by
the Means ofSt. Dunfian, from a Monk of Fleury he was made Bi-
Siop of Worceſter (d). As ſoon as preferred to this See he joined
heartily with Dunfian and Ethelwold, Biſhop of Wincheſter, in
bringing in the Monks, diſturbing, rather than reforming the
Church of God. To this End he begun with impoveriſhing the Sc-
culars of this See, by giving away, or leaſing out for Lives the Lands
of the Church. In the Year 962 he leaſed out twenty Hides. In
963 he leaſed out twelve Hides more, and in y6y no leſs than forty,
and moſt of them for three Lives. This was the Year, when in

An Account of the
a General Council, held under Dunftan, Archbishop of Canter-
bury, it was decreed, That the Seculars for their Concubinage and
laſcivious Lives' ſhould be turned out, and the ſober and chaſte
Monks ſhould be put in their Places. And accordingly Oſwald
is faid this Year to have ejected all the Clerks out of ſeven Monaſte-
ries, that were in his Dioceſe, and to have put Monks in their
room (a). What he might do in other Places, I cannot ſay, but he
could not do this at Il’urcefier, for the Seculars ſtill kept their Places
here, and were Witneſſes to all thie Deeds he made, till the Year
974, when he gave to Britiafi for his Life, and the Lives of Birth-
wine and Byrktmare, one Manle at Culiny, to which Deed Wynlige,
Dean, with all the Monks, fubſcribed (6). The next Year his great
Patron King Edgar died, and Edward fucceeded, during whoſe Reign,
to ſeven of his Deeds, no Monks ſubſcribed at all, but Presbyters,
Deacons, and Clerks, as uſual, and but to one in 978; and then ten
Monks to ſeventeen Clerks: and afterwards they ſubſcribed as Wit-
effes with the other Clergy, but to eleven of one and thirty Deeds
more: and never above two, and ſometimes but one at a time: So
that he was not able to compafs his End. What he did was by
Craft, by building a New Cliurch at the Monaſtery of St. Mary,
and officiating there, and not at his own Church of St. Peter's. By
which Means he drew niany to him and to the Monks, who thought
it a Crime to be without the Bleſſing of ſo holy a Man; and fo St.
Mary's, by Degrees, became the Cathedral Church (c).
To make good what has been ſaid, I have here ſubjoined an Ac-
count of the Lands he gave away, moſt of them for three Lives, as
I found them in Henning's Chartulary in ſeveral Places, but here di-
geſted in a regular Order, according to their Dates of the Year.

to conſent thereto. (a). In the Year. .972 wlien he was pro-
moted to the See of pork, he held this of wiozceffer in Commendan
with it, following the Example of Dunſtan, his Brother Monk, who
when promoted to London, did the ſame. And this Example
was afterwards followed by Oſwald's Succeſſors, Aldulph and Wola
ſtan; and the two Sees of York and Wozcelter were not fe-
parated till the Year 1023. Theſe his Succeſſors, to palliate theirs
and his Covetouſneſs, pretending that he held the two Sees toge-
ther by a Bull from Pope Formofus, which he ſent him with his
Pall; a miſerable Falfhood for that Pope died 896, above Seven-
ty Years before Oſwald was made Archbiſhop of Pozk, (b).
Under this Year Alford relates from Capgrave, Tliat viſiting his
Dioceſe he came to Ripum, where lay thie bleſſed Wilfrid, buried in a
Monaſtery then in Ruins, and over-run with Thorns. One Night pray-
ing here, it was made known to him by Divine Revelation, that
many
Bodies of Saints lay there buried. As foon as Morning came he
cauſed the Rubbiſh to be removed, and the Place dug, where lre found
the Bodies of ſome of them, and on a Table this Inſcription;
Here reſts St. WILFRID, Primate of York; and the Reverend Ablots
TILBERT, BOTWIN, ALBERT, SIGRED, and WILDEN;
Several of which Reliets he ſent here to Worceſter (c). Eadmer
ſays, when he was made Archbiſhop, he went to Rome for his Pall,
and received it of Pope Johni, who died this Year in the Month of
September (d). Alford places it in the next Year, and fays, he had
it from Benedict (e); but it is doubtful whether he went to Ronie or
not. And Florence mentions nothing of his going, but ſays he had
his Pall from Pope John'; all agree that he had it not from Pope Ste-
phen. As ſoon as he was enthroned in this See, he called to him fe-

An Account of the
veral learned Men from Abroad (a). Of theſe, German was one,
whom in 973 he placed over the Monaſtery at Wetberg in Glou-
ceſterſhire, and under lim Ednoth, to take care of their teniporal
· Affairs, and with theſe ten Monks, the whole Number repreſenting
the twelve Diſciples of our Lord (b). From thence, in a little time,
lie removed him and Ednoth to Kamſey, and ſent over for Abo of
Fleury to inſtruct the Monks there. And upon his being ſettled there,
he again removed German to Winchrumb, to reform that Mona-
ſtery. About the ſame Time le placed Fulbert, another learned
Man at Perthoze, to take care of that Abbey. Ednoth was left be-
hind at Kamſey, where he was afterwards Prior, and at laſt Biſhop
of Dorcheſter (c). Kamfer Monaſtery was founded by Earl Aylwin,
and the Church begun to be built there about the Year 968 (d), and,
'when finithed, St. German went from wellbere to it, and became its
Prior, when it was conſecrated by Oſwald, and Ælfnoth Biſhop of
Dozcheter, 6 Ides of Nov. 974. The firſt Church being built on a
miry Soil, the Foundation ſunk, and the Walls and Towers parted
the one from the other, upon which they were neceſſitated to take it
down and rebuild it. And this laſt was conſecrated by Oſwald and
Biſhop Schwin, or ÆSchrey, 991 (e). This ſeems to be the trueft
Account, about which our Hiſtorians have much differ’d.
Oſwald's reforming of his Monaſteries in this Dioceſe, was cer-
tainly done between the Years 969 and 975; for this. Year his great
Patron King Edgar died, and a Stop was put to all his Projects. For,
notwithſtanding all his Care for his beloved Monks, after the King's
Death, they were turned out in ſeveral Places. Ælphere, Duke of
narcia, with many of his Nobles, deprived thein of all the Bene-
fices they were in Poſſeſſion of in this Province, and brought in

again the Seculars. Hoveden and Florence ſay that they did this, be-
ing blinded with great Bribes, dividing the Manors of the Monaſte-
ries among themſelves (a). Huntindon calls Ælfere upon this Ac-
count Conſul nequiſſimus, the moſt wicked Earl, and ſays this Crime
brought in the Danes (6). Malmesbury tells us, he repented of it
afterwards, but in vain, for God's Vengeance overtook him, and
within an Year he'was eaten up with Lice (c). At this Time, ſays
Ingulphus, the Monks were turned out of the Abbey of Eveſham,
and the Seculars brought in there again; and ſo they were out of
winchelcomb, and German their Abbot retired to Fleury (d). Nor
could Oſwald help it, for during the reſt of the Time that he fate in
'this See they kept their Ground, and were Witneſſes to all the Deeds
he made. He ſurvived Edgar ſeventeen Years, and ſaw his Country
miſerably haraſſed by the Danes, barbarous Enemies to all Religion
and Learning. He died on the ſecond of the Calends of March 992,
Indict. 5, which Year was Biffextile, and February had 29 Days, the
laft of which was the laſt of Oſwald's Life ; it was the third Week
in Lent, feria ſecunda, when the Antiphone ſung at Maſs was Oculi
mei ſemper. ad Dominun (e). He was the ſeventeenth Biſhop of
Worceſter, and fate in this See near 33 Years, and in that of York
above Twenty-two, ſays Godwin: But in that he is miſtaken, for
his Promotion to York is placed by Florence, and the Worceſter
Annals, in 972. Many Years he was thought ſufficient for both the
Sees, but moſt of his Time he ſpent here at Worceſter. He outlived
Dunſtan five Years, and Ethelwold ten, who were the two great Strug-
lers with him in turning out the Šeculars. He was ſo much admired,
that he alone was held equal to the other two, to match the one in
Authority, and the other in Efficacy, and both in Holineſs. The

An Account of the
Day before he died, ſtanding at his Door, he for ſome time ſtedfaſtly
fixed his Eyes on Heaven, and flied Tears for Joy. Thoſe that were
preſent asking hin the Reaſon of this; he ſaid, Suffer me my Brethren
to look up to that place where I intend to go, for I muſt ſhortly put off
this Body, and the Time of my Diſolution draweth near. At which
they wondered, there being no Sign of Sickneſs, and he having taken
more than ordinary Care of himſelf. Coming into the Oratory he called
together the Brethren, and received from them lioly Unction, and the
Sacrament. Being thus prepared, the next Day having, according
to his Cuſtom, waſhed the Feet of certain poor People, as he kneelid
down to ſay tlie Hymn Gloria Patri, he gave up the Ghoſt, and was
buried in the Church of St. Mary (a), which Florence faith he built
from the Foundation. It is ſaid of him that he wrought many Mi-
racles in his Life-time and after his Death. Whilft he was a Monk
at Fleury, one Day ſaying Mals, his Attendant ſaw a Man of a reve-
rend Countenance, holding in his Hands lifted up. a white, ſmall. Piece
of Bread, at which he was fadly frighten'd, and when the Bread, in
the Proceſs of the Solemnity ſeemed to grow bigger and bigger, he
fled out at the Door, and left Oſwald alone; but now and then peep-
ing in he ſaw an Angel, anſwering and miniſtring unto him. When
Mafs was over, and the Angel gone; he came running to him, told
him the Reaſon why he left him, and asked him if he ſaw the Angel
that miniſtred unto him; to which he anſwer'd, That he had ſeen

a Life as he ought to have done. Calling therefore together all the
Monks, he exhorted them to join with him in earneſt Prayer for his
Soul, which they continued to do daily for ſome time, till one Night
the Deceaſed appeared to the Biſhop, as he was praying for him ;
and being asked by him who he was, he anſwered, That he was the
fame Perſon that he prayed for. He then asked him how it had been
with him, and how it was now; hitherto, ſays he, very ill, but now
very well; for by Tour Merits, and Tour Prayers, God ſent liis Angel
Yeſterday, and delivered me out of the Torments I endured. This I
am come to tell you of, and to return you Thanks; which ſạid, he
vaniſhed (a).
When he was building his Monaſtery, a Square Stone lay not
far from it, very fit and neceſſary to be uſed in it, which all
the Artificers could not ftir out of its Place. Oſwald Seeing the
fruitleſs Pains they took, wondered ; but filently praying to God,
his Eyes were opened, and he ſaw ſitting on the Stone a little black
Devil, deriding the Labourers with obſcene Geſtures; upon which
the Man of God making the sign of the Croſs, drove him away;
and the Stone, which eighty Men could not move before, was by
three Perſons eaſily lifted up, and put in the Place deſigned for it (6).
A great Man, ill of a Fever, ſent him Word of it, who bleſſing
Bread, gave it to the Meſſenger, and bid him tell his Maſter to eat
thereof in Faith, which he did, and was reſtored to his former Health.
As he fate at Table, and bleſſed Bread, and diſtributed to thoſe that
fate with him, a few Crumbs fell on the Floor, on which a Mouſe
greedily feeding, was immediately choaked, and died. And left they

Place of fo Holy a Perſon: They aſſaulted him, tormented him, tore

Benedict, and that there God had forgiven him his Sins, for the Me-
rits of his beloved Oſwald; and to the End he might declare the
fame, he was then reſtored to Life. Having ſaid this, he held his
Peace; and having received the Viaticun of our Lord's Body, he re-
mained alive half a Day, and then died (b)..
As he himſelf was carried into the Church, to lye expoſed there,
Eadmere ſays, a white Dove hovered over his Body, and a Globe of
Fire deſcended on the Bier, and here and there about the Church were
heard divine Praiſes, and heavenly Muſick; the white Dove denoting
his Simplicity and Innocence, and the Globe of Fire his fervent Love
of God and his Neighbour (C).

After his Death many Miracles were wrought at his Tomb; the
Water with which they waſhed his Bones gave Sight to the Blind,
made the Deaf to hear, the Lame to walk, and healed all Manner of

little while cloſe thereto, when taking it away, all the Corruption of
the Place ſtuck to it, and his Cheek was made perfectly whole, fa
that
you could not diſcern where it had been amiſs, only in Teſtimo-
ny of ſo great a Miracle, and of the Power of God, that Cheek
was always a little ruddier than the other (b).
One dumb from his Infancy, on a certain Feaſt Day of St. Oſwald's,
faw coming from the Biſliop's Tomb towards him, a certain reverend
Man, unknown to him, with grey Hairs, cloathed with a prieſtly
Garment, and with a Staff in his Hand. As he paſſed by he bowed
to hiin, when with his Staff he ſtruck him on his Neck, and diſap-
peared ; with the Blow he fell to the Ground, and a coagulated Maſs
of Blood coming out of his Mouth, he cried out help, help, caſt me
out preſently, leſt the Church of God be polluted with my Blood,
and when carried forth he voided a great deal, and was cured, and
informed the By-ſtanders how it had been wrought (c).
When the City of Worceſter was on Fire, as ſoon as it came
to his Tomb, it immediately abated, and went out.
At another
Time, when it was again on fire, as the Monks carried his Coffin
into the City, there came one running to them who had lately built
him a fine new Houſe, and cried out, O holy Father, and Paſtor or-
wald, if thou wilt reſcue my Houſe from the preſent Danger of the
Flanes, I will give it to thee, as thy Right for ever; on which they
carried his.Corps in, and tho' the next Houſe was intirely conſumed,

After ten Years, many Miracles liaving been wrought at his
Tomb, lis Body was taken up and found reduced to Powder,
but his Epiſcopal Garment, in which he was wrapped, was as
freſh as when new made, and continued fo, ſays Malmesbury, to
his Time, who lived in the twelfth Century (1), and after to
the Time of Stubbs, when it was to be ſeen at the Church of
Beverley (c). As for Oſwald, he was a great Patron of learned
Men, as well as of the Monks, and a great Benefactor to thoſe at
Fleury, for which Reaſon they have given him the Name of Saint.
ALDULPH or Adulf, or EALDULTH, (d), or EADULF (e),
Abbot of Peterburgh, à Hóly and Reverend Man, fucceeded to
both his Sees. In his Time the Danes continued their Ravages,
and in 994 they had 16000 Pounds given them to be quiet:(f). In
996, with Conſent of the Family in Progonna City, he gave to
Leofenath, a Soldier, forty Fields (8), at Huneſham, with the Fiſhery
thereto belonging, to hold it for three Lives, paying yearly to the
Biſhop fifteen Salmons. Witneſſes, Æthellige, Ælfige, Hxhward, Æthel-

Witneſſes that ſubſcribed to the many Deeds of Oſwald; but we

Bones of St. Oſwald from his Tomb, to a Slırine which he liad
prepared for it ; and not long after, on the Second Nones of
May, died, and was buried in St. Mary's Church in wrigorne (a).
Wharton tells us, that an old Obituary, belonging to Worceſter,
places his Death on the fourth of June, the Obituary of Peter-
burgh on the fifth. The Worceſter Annals make him to have fate
in this See eleven Years and an half, and ſo does a Catalogue, of
the Biſhops in Hemming's Chartulary (6). Malmesbury fays, that
he was a great Benefactor to the Monks of Fleury, and therein
Emulated his Predeceffor Oſwald. He excuſes him for holding the
two Sees together, becauſe of his Sanctity, and did it not out of
Ambition, but Neceſſity; but he does not tell us what that Ne-
ceſſity was. As for his Succeſſor, he leaves him without Excuſe
for doing the ſame, becauſe he differed from him both in Holi-
neſs and Habit (c). And this was
WOLSTAN, nick-named Reprobate.
Nan nimis erravit, dun rebus nos ſpoliavit. For he erred too
much, when he ſpoiled us of our Poſſeſſions, ſaid the Monks.
Whereas the Truth of the Matter was, that during the Continu-
ance of the two Sees being held together, their Lands became con-
fuſed the one with the other, and at their Separation pork be-
ing the more potent See, retained ſeveral Manors belonging to
this of Worceſter; which was as much the Fault of Oſwald and
Aldulf as his; but they being Monks and Saints, no Blame was
to be laid on them, and Wolftan alone was the Criminal Perfon.
Whatever they ſay of him, we have reaſon to believe he was a
worthy good Man. For the learned and pious Ælfrick, in his Book

In the ſame Year that he came to this See, on the 13th of Septem-
ber, being the Feaſt of St. Brice, by the ſpecial Command of King
Ethelred the Danes were murder'd all over the Kingdom. This
brought again that barbarous People, with Swein their King at the
Head of them, to revenge their Deaths, and to ravage and ſpoil the
Kingdom, which they did till the Year 1007, when 30,000 Pounds
ſay ſome (b), 36,000 Pounds ſay others (c), were paid to them to ap-
peaſe their Fury and make Peace. Whilſt it laſted, at the Cominand
of King Ethelred, there was a General Council held at Enfham in
Drfozo Chire, under Ælfeage, Archbiſhop of Canterbury, and our IVOL-
ſtan, Archbiſhop of York, and Biſhop of Worceſter, wherein were
made Thirty-two Canons for the better Reformation and Govern-
ment of Church and State, which they all folemnly promiſed to ob-
ferve (d). But this Peace laſted not long, for they came again 1009,
and ravaged, as uſual, till the Year 1012, when 48,000 Pounds more
were given to them to ceaſe from their Devaſtations. Almoſt
all the Plate and Ornaments of this Church were then taken
away,
to raiſe their Share of this Tribute ; the Tables of their Altars, both
of Gold and Silver, the Claſps of their Books, their Chalices and
their Crucifixes were melted down to raiſe it, and their Lands heavily
taxed (e). And no leſs did they ſuffer under his Son Cnut, when
a Tribute of 72,000 Pounds were paid to that ſavage People.

At this Time of general Devaſtation many Lands were taken from

long as he lived: but after the Death of Ethelred, Edmund his Son
and Cnut contending for the Kingdom, there were great Diſturbances
every where. During which Dean Ægillin dyed, and Ævic, Highı
Sheriff of Staffozdſhire, invaded theſe Lands, and alienated them
from the Monks, there being none in ſo troubled a State that would

a great Favourer of Earngates, hindered it, and kept it by Force.

ſeveral Lands. For an Order being made, that if any Place failed in
the Payment of their Taxes on the Day appointed, any one that
ſliould depoſite the Money to the Sheriff, might preſently take Pof-
ſeſſion thereof. By theſe Means Lorley, Luddington, praiton,
and gọilcote in the County of Warwick, were unjuſtly ſeized on.
But Hemming tells us, that God ſuffered not this Rapine to go unpu-
niſhed; for every one of them that had a Hand in the Fraud, either loſt
their Sight, or the Uſe of their Members, or ran mad, or killed them-
felves (a). In Difoydſhire they loſt bethzop and Kidingtun, the Gift
of King Offa. And in this County one Simund a Dane, a Soldier of Earl
Leofrick’s, endeavoured to diſpoſſeſs them of what they had in Clow!,
for he ſo plagued it with Suits and Treſpaſſes, that he drove away
the Farmers, and they were forced to grant it to him for his Life,
on Condition, that he ſhould ſerve for them in the Wars by Sea and
Land, and ſhould acknowledge the Prior for his Lord, by paying
yearly an Horſe or Money in lieu thereof (b). But to make ſome
Amends for their Loſſes, Earl Leofric, upon the Death of his Father
Leofwine, reſtored to them wuifardilea and Blackwell, which had
for a long Time been with-held from them. And he alſo promiſed to re-
ſtore them at his Death Chadeal, Brolne, Brodun and foxfeld (c).

it was not ſo long, for from the fifth of the Kalends of June 1023,
on which his Predeceſſor departed this Life, to the 14th of the Ka-
lends of September 1033, on which he himſelf died, is but ten Years,
and not quite three Months. He departed this Life at Kemſey, a Vil-
lage aboutthree Miles from Worcefier, where the Biſhops formerly liad

his Return into England he ſent our Biſhop Brihte agrıs, with his Daughi-
ter Gunnilda, into Germany, to give her in Marriage to Conrad, Em-
peror there, others ſay to Henry his Son. When he came back to his
See, he robbed the Church of ſeveral of their Lands, and not regard-

loſt for ever. For they being dead, Richard, the Son of Scrob (6),
a Norman, ſeized on Sapian, and left it to his Son; and Agelric,
the Biſhop's Brother, ſeized on Ælanton, and left it to his Son Go-

Northumberland, and all the other Earls of England, and almoſt
all his Domeſtick Servants, with great Forces, to revenge the
Affront, commanding them to flay all without Mercy, to rifle
and burn the City, and to lay walte the Country.
On the
ſecond of the Ides of November they began to put this cruel
Command of the King's in Execution; they ſpoiled and burnt the
City, and ravaged the Country for the Space of five Days; when
loaded with Plunder they returned every one to their own Hoine.
However it happen'd, that few or no Priſoners were taken, nor many
killed ; for the Countrymen, terrified with the Report of their March,
and foreknowing their Danger, were fled, and the Citizens with
their wives and Children retired into a ſmall Iſland, encompaſſed by
the River Severn, called Beverege, two Miles above their City,
which they fortified, and there manfully defended themſelves, till
their Peace was made (a). The next Year Living being then reſtored
to his See, was very inſtrumental with Earl Godwin, in raiſing Ed-
ward the Confeſſor to the Throne of his Anceſtors (b). A little af-
ter this he had a Controverſy with Swegen or Swain, Earl Godwin's
San, who, full of Pride and Glory, gave out, that he was the Son
of valiant King Cnute, and not of Godwin; which his Parents high-
ly reſenting, his Mother made Oath that he was her Son, and that
Godwin was his Father, and had the fame confirmed by the Oathis
and Teſtimonies of ſeveral noble Ladies of weaſer. This wicked
Man adding Iniquity to Iniquity, and full of Luſt as well as Pride,
took away by Force Edgiva, Abbeſs of Leomgnffre, and cohabited
with her for the space of a Year, upon which he fell under the Cen-
ſures of the Church; and Edji, Archbiſhop of Canterburg, joining
with Living, they threatned to excommunicate him, upon which he
very unwillingly parted with her: and out of Revenge he and his

per Cliberry, with many other Lands in Shropſhire (a). As for
hiinſelf not being permitted to marry Edgiva, he left the Land, and
1049 returned with eight Ships out of Denmark, feigning a Deſire to
come again into the King's Favour; at which Time de barbarouſly
murthered Beorn, his Couſin Gernian, who promiſed to intercede for
him; and loſing fix of his Ships, with the other two he eſcaped into
Flanders, where he remained till Aldred, who ſucceeded Biſhop Liv-
ing, by earneſt Mediation wrought his Peace with the King. Af-
terwards he was baniſhed withi his Father Godwin 1051, and then
touch'd in Conſcience for the Murther of Beorn his Kinſman, and his
other Crimes, he went barefoot to Jeruſalem, and returning home
died either by Sickneſs, or by the Hands of the Saracens in Lycia (b).
But not to digreſs, Biſhop Living, the Year not ſaid, recovered by
Law the Village of Elmlæge, which Biſhop Britegh had given to
a Servant of liis, and reſtored it to the Monaſtery; but afterwards
over-perſuaded by the Intreaties of his Servants, he took it from them
again, and gave it to Egelric, ſurnamed Kiu, a Soldier, for his Life
and then to return to the Monaſtery, binding with a perpetual Curſe
him that ſhould detain it (c). About this Time we may place what
Hemming tells us concerning Toddargcge, which had been granted
in the Year 963 by Biſhop Oſwald to Ælfric, for three Lives. That
one named Spirit, much beloved by Harold and Hardecnute, ob-
tained it of liis Brother Ernwi, a rich and powerful Man, then in
Poſſeſſion of this Place, cauſa hofpitationis, that whenever he went

March 23, 10 Kal. of April 1046, on a Sunday, liaving been Bi-
ſhop of Kirton fifteen Years, and of this See eight (a). At the
Time of his Death there was heard ſuch a Clap of Thunder all o-
ver England, as many thought the Day of Doom had been
been cone
He was buried at Taviťoke, which Monaſtery he had repaired and
endowed, and thereby had gained ſo much Favour with the Monks,
that to the Time of Malmesbury, who gives us the foregoing Ac-
count of his Death and Burial, they continually chaunted the fifteen
Plalms of Degrees for the Repoſe of liis Soul (6).

By this Agatha he had Edgar Atheling, Margaret Queen of Scots
and Mother of Maud the Empreſs and Chriſtina ( a). There are
ſome Deeds in Hemming without Date, which I ſhall here inſert,
as being granted much about this Time. Agelwine, Dean of the
Church of wrigonne and his Brother Ordric, having bought three
Caſlats of Land at Cundico te on the Hills, with the Money of
the Monaſtery, they ſettled them to the uſe of the Monks, where
for the liealth of their Souls, they had cauſed the Son of Ordric
to take the Habit, and Ordric himfelf not long after leaving all that he
had, became a Monk too(b). Wiburg, a Widow, for the health of her
Soul, and to keep up her Memory, gave for ever to the faid Mona-
ſtery Sciranac in the Pariſh of Feckenbam, to come to them af-
ter her Death, on Condition they ſhould bury her there (c).
Three Hides at Teotengton and alfageton (d), which Oſwald
had granted out for Lives, in the Year 963, were now in the
Poſſeſſion of one Toki, a rich and powerful Man who for the Health
of his Soul, and the Love that was between Aldred and him, left them
unto him by his 'laſt Will; but Aki his Son, another rich and
po.
werful Miniſter of the King's. after the Death of his Father, claimed
the Land as his by hereditary Right. Whereupon to end all Strife,
with Conſent of the King and Earl Leofric, and in Preſence of the
Nobles of the Province, the Biſhop gave the faid Aki eight Marks
of Gold to relinquiſhi all his Right and Title to it; and having thus
purchaſed it, he gave it to the Monaſtery, freeing it from all Service
to the Epiſcopal Village of Breadune, to which it was ſaid it did
formerly belong, tho' no Man then remembred the fame (e). He
gave them alſo the Fiſhery at Hallow and Scadwell, with the Lands

when he received Holy Unction from Wolftan, then Dean, and
Wilſtan, who was afterwards Abbot of Gloceſter, he by his Will
reſtored it to them; but Agelwin his Son, aſſiſted by his Uncle Lec-
fric, made void the ſaid will, and added it to his own Poſſeſſions,
for which the juſt Judgment of God came upon him; he ſoon af-
ter loſt his Life and all that he had, ignominiouſly ending his Days
in the Hut of a Cowherd, and ſcarce having two Servants to bury
him (a).
EowIn, another Brother of Earl Leofric, had taken away from them
Bikemerfc in waarwicſcire, wlicbald in Worceterfiire, and Lands
in Shropſcire, but long he enjoyed them not; for he was ſlain by
Griffin, King of Wales, Morte ignominiofa. Thirty Days after this
Father Wolftan, Prior, and Wilſtan, Provoſt, went to alritune, and
demanded the Lands belonging to their Monaſtery, but could get
none of them, except a little Meadow at Darnancive (b). It was
in the Year 1055, that this Griffin enter'd with his Forces into uc:
refojothire, routed the Engliſh, killed many, wounded more, New
ſeven Canons defending the Minſter, ſpoiled and burnt both Mona-

he ſet upon Leofgar the Biſhop, with his Clerks, at a Place called
Glađprig, and flew them too (d), upon which the vacant Biſhoprick
was given in Commendam to Aldred, who, with the Earls, Leofric
and Harold, made Peace between the King and Griffin. Soon after
this, viz. on the ſecond of the Calends of September 1057, died at
Bromleage, Leofrick, Duke of the Mercians, in a good old Age, a
Man of no leſs Virtue than Power in his Time, religious, prudent,

that ſhe might liold the Lands during lier Life, paying yearly ſuch a
Sum of Money, and at her Death to return to the Monaſtery, with

Pzondoc was about this Time reſtored to Prior Wolftan by Nordman
and with it a Son of his. But Sheriff Ralph, with IVilliani, Earl of
Herefozd, took that, and more Lands away from the Monaſtery, and
not long after died in Exile, and Ralph being clapped up in Jayl loft

Earl, Pope Nicholas graciouſly received, made him ſit by his Side in
a Synod, that he had called againſt thoſe that had been guilty of Sy-
mony. Giſo and Walter, free from ſuch a Crime, and not contemp-
tible for their Learning, he conſecrated; but Aldred, by his own Con-
feſſion guilty, of all his Honours he deprived. Having met with
ſuch different Treatment, as they returned home one common Cala-
mity befel them all; for falling into the Hands of Robbers, they
were ſpoiled of all they had, except their Cloaths, and ſo to Home
unhurt they returned again. This Misfortune was to Aldred a Means
of obtaining that Favour which he could not get before. For Earl
Toſti boldly giving out, that the Pope's Excommunications would be
little dreaded by diſtant Nations, when Rogues ſo near feared them
not; that it was wrong to trample on Supplicants, and not be able to
do any Thing againſt Rebels; that if their Goods were not reſtored
by his Authority, by whoſe Miſgovernment they had been loſt, the
King of England, when he heard it, would, no doubt, make them
full Amends out of their Peter-pence; and that as for himſelf he
would not fail to repreſent it to his Majeſty and to puſh on the fame with
his utmoſt Vigour Thoſe about the Pope, much moved at theſe Speeches,
perſuaded him to let Aldred have his Archbiſhoprick and his Pall, for that
it would not look well to have him fent home to his own Countrey
robbed and diſgraced. So he obtained Pork, but with this Condition,
that he ſhould leave Wozceưer (a). Upon his Return, before he did

he had commanded one of the King's Officers to be ſlain (a). We

The firſt Thing we meet with recorded of him, after he was made
Bishop, is his being preſent at the Dedication of St. Peter's Church

to the Damage of the Monks; and feeing that the King had broken
his Coronation Oath, and not defended the Church, nor miniſtred
Juſtice, nor uſed Engliſhnien as favourable as his own Normans, he
ſtuck not to thunder out an Excommunication againſt him too; fay-
ing that now wortbily he had curſed, whom önce' unworthily he had
bleſſed (a), for lie it was that had crowned him. This muſt be done
in 1069, for a little after he died, vix, on the 11th of September,
and in the Lent before it, we may truly fix the ſearching and ſpoiling
of the Monaſteries. · Archbiſhop Aldred, now dead, Wolftan thought
it a proper Time for him to recover the Lands, viz. twelve Villages or
Manors, which had been unjuſtly taken away from his See, and
annexed to that of York (b). Accordingly at the great Council held
at Wincheſter, on the Octaves of Eaſter 1070, where Ermenfred, Bi-
Shop of Sedun, and John and Peter Prieſts, fate as the Pope's Legates,
he demanded Reſtitution according to Juſtice, of the many Lands his
Biſhoprick had been deprived of, and which were now upon Aldred's
Death in the King's' Hands: -But becauſe the Church of York was
then deftitute of a Paſtor, it was adjudged that the Controverſy ſhould
reſt till thắt See Mhould be filled (c).
THOMAŞ, a Nornian, born at Bajeur, and Treaſurer of that
Church, as well as Chaplain to the King (d), was ſoon after made
Archbiſhop of Pozk, and Lanfranc, another Foreigner, Archbiſhop
of Canterbury, Stigand being depoſed (e). And then came on a-
gain the Cauſe between the Sees of pork and Wlozcelter, at a Coun-

Wozcelfer, and to ſubject it to that See, yet it was determined againſt
them, their Deeds were proved falſe and their pretences groundleſs.
So that WVulſtan, the Man of God, not only recovered his
Right to the twelve Manors that had been taken from him, but
all the Priviliges that had in any wife been granted to his See,
as well by the firſt Founders, King Ethelbald and Ojher his
Viceroy; as by Kenred, Æthelbald, Offa, Kenulf King's of the
Mercians: and by their Succeſſors Edward Senior, Æthelſt an ,
Edmund, Edred and Edgar, Kings of England (a) As ſoon as
this Council was ended, Thomas went along with Lanfranc and
Remigius, Biſhop of Dozchetter to Kome, in order to receive
their Palls; and here he made Complaint to the Pope that he had
been forced to ſubmit to Lanfranc againſt Right and claimed a-
gain a Juriſdiction over the See of dúodceller : but the Pope would
not meddle with it, and ordered it to be decided by the King and
his Nobles, and it was by them given againſt him in the Year 1072
at the Caſtle of windleſoze (b ).
At this time it was that Archbiſhop Lanfranc endeavoured to
have Biſhop Wulft an depoſed for Inſufficiency, tho' ſecond, neither
to himſelf nor any other for Holineſs and Virtue, but ſeeing him
in great Favour with the People, or ſtruck with Story of his fix-
ing his Paſtoral Staff in the Tomb of St. Edward, which none could
remove but himſelf, with no little Shame he deſiſted (c.). Ailred,
Abbot of Kievale, in his Life of Edward the Confeſſor, gives us

King which thoſe that delight in ſuch Legends may there

An Account of the
gious Truſt in God is worthy, to be praiſed; for, being ordered to
withdraw, and to give in his Anſwer to what had been alledged a-
gainft him, çoming to his Friends with a compoſed Mind, Believe
me, fays he, we have not ſung horam ſextain, let us therefore fing it;
They anfwering, that firſt they ought to conſult and diſpatch the Bu-
fineſs they were about, that there would be Time enough for them
to chant hereafter, that if the King and his Nobles ſhould hear this
they would laugh him to fcorn. Believe me, firſt, ſays he, let us ſerve
God, and after let us wage the Controverſy. of Men. The Hour
being chanted without any Tergiverſation, or pretending to more
than naked Truth, he immediately went towards, the Council. Hali
,
his Friends, who were very fearful of the. Illye of the Çauſe, endex
voured, to ſtay him, to whom lie replied, know for certain, that I here
ſee viſibly the holy Archbiſhops, Dunſtan of Canterburg and On:
wald of York, who defending me this Day with their Prayers, ſhall
blunt the Edge of all my lying Oppoſers. So giving them his Bleſs
ſing, and making Uſe of a Monk no Ways eloquent, but skilful in
the Norman Language, he ſo pleaded his Cauſe himſelf, that he who
before was thought unworthy of ruling his own Dioceſe, was hum-
bly deſired by the Archbiſhop of Yalk to viſit his; but this, whether
out of Fear of the Enemy, or for Ignorance of the Language of the
Country, he did not care to do (a). The Truth is, the Character
of the Engliſla Clergy, as well as of the Engliſh Nation, at this time
was but very indifferent, and not much inferior to the Rudeneſs and
Wickedneſs of the antient Britains, related by Gildas, wherewith
they provoked God to give them up into the Hands of the Saxons,
as he now did them into the Hands of the Normans : for they were
remai kably notorious for Drunkenneſs, Luft, Pride, and Ignorance (b);
ſo that pious Wulftan at this Time ſhone as a bright Star amongſt
them.

Man, well verſed in the Laws of the Land, which were his cheifelt
Study; by which means after the Norman Invaſion, and ruine of
the Engliſh Nobility, he grew into great Authority and Power,
being much favoured by the Conqueror : and the more becauſe Bi-
ſhop Wulftan, the only Man in this County more honourable than

wholly up to the Service of God, ; mindful of the Apoftles : Saying no
man that warreth entangleth himſelf with the affairs of this Life (b).

deceit and flattery defauded them of their Lands and all they had,

the latter died of the Gout, neither reconciled to, nor Abſolved
by the Bishop. Wulftan much concerned at this, fervently and
frequently Offered up liis Prayers unto God, on the behalf of his
Soul; upon which he ſuddenly fell lame himſelf in his Thighs and
Feet, inſomuch that no Phyſicians could give him any Remedy.
When he ſaw that no human Help was to be expected, he betook
him to his uſual refuge of Prayer, and as he told his Monks, one
Night when he Prayed it was revealed unto him, that this infir-
mity had fell upon him, becauſe he ſo often Petitioned for the Ab-
bots Soul ; and if he deſired to be Cured he ſhould do ſo no more,
and deſiſting from it within a few Days, witfiout the help of hu-
man Medicines he became whole and ſound (a). The truth is

learnt them from our Predeceſſors, and have ſeen them obſerved
in our Times, under your Predeceſſor Aldred and your Self, we are

have put an end to the Controverſy of the Prieſts, and have
corroborated the fame, with the Teſtimony of this Holy Synod,
and our Hand and Seal : cautiouſly providing that no Deſſention

who ſhall obſerve this, ; but whoſoever ſhall break it or alter it
for the worſe, may he be Condemned to Eternal Torments with
the Devil and his Angels, Amen (a). As this Biſhop grew Old
in Years, ſo he increaſed in Goodneſs, and having finiſhed the
Monaſtery and Cathedral of Worcellez, and regained the Lands
which had been takee from it, during the Devaſtations of the Danes,
and Rapines of the Normans, and put an end to the Controverſy

of Wetbuzt in Glouclerſhizt, not far from Builol, Founded at

Honourably endowed with Lands. This Monaſtery through the
Iniquity of Times, Negligence of the Priors, and Ravages of Py-

Redeemer Jeſus Chriſt, and his Holy Mother Mary, he Studied
to repair. As to the Lands taken away, and then in Poſſeſſion of

Calends of July on a Wedneſday, to wlrom Wulftan firſt appeared as
he lay at Crikelade, on liis road to Wozcelket, and a ſecond time after
he had been dead thirty Days, when he ſharply reprehended him for
his Negligence, and admoniſhed him to take great Care, as well
for the Amendment of his own Life, as the Amendment of thofe
committed to his Charge : which if he did, he told him he might
quickly obtain the Pardon of his Sins, and expect to be with him
eternally bleſſed in Heaven
The Character that our Hiſtorians give of Biſhop Walltan is
worthy to be mentioned. They ſay he was of moderate Stature,
well made ; of good Health, which by the ſtrictneſs and regularity of
his Life continued to him till old Age. That he was very Chaſt, the
Spirit of which he aſſerted to be divinely given to him. That he was
very Temperate and abſtemious ; his meals Short and not frequent
and when according to the Cuſtom of the Engliſh, they fate after
dinner and drank full Glaſſes, he contented himſelf with a little

Sacrament which he then touched, never more to eat of that fort
of Meat as long as he lived, and he not only kept his Vow, but
oby degrees came to eat no Fleſh at all. That he was very Humble,
the moſt remote from the laughty inſolence of the Times he lived
in. Wlien he put on the Biſhop he put not of the Monk: was
ready to give advice to the Meaneſt Perſon that came to conſult
him, and to grant them what they asked if fitting for them
without any delay : given to no Flattery, nor any Flatterers accep-
table to him : doing Juſtice to Poor and Rich alike, and never
receding from it for the Fear of great Men; when praiſed for
any Good he gave God the Glory, and aſſumed it not unto himſelf :
when blamed by any one he imputed it to the Mans ignorance, and
at the fame time rejoyced in the Teſtimony of his own Conſcience;
but this happened very rarely, for loving and carrying himſelf to every
one as if he were his own Child, every one loved him and looked on him
as if he were their common Father ; he becoming all things to all Men.
As for his Cloathing it was not gay or rich, but clean and plain ; void
of all Pomp, but not wanting of Decency ; rather to keep out the
Cold than to ſet off the Body: to this end he made uſe of woollen
Garments, and when exhorted to clad himſelf with Furrs, Believe
me ſays he, I never heard chanted Cattus Dei but Agnus Dei, and
therefore would not adorn himſelf with Martins but Lambskins.

brought his Purſe along with him, which was the Poor Mens Trea-

for that no one ever begg’d an Alms of him and went away
without it. That he was very Devout, piouſly brought up from his
youth, and exerciſed in good Works to his dying Day. He ſpent not
his Time as others did after Maſs curſorily ſaid, in ſotting or pampering
himſelf or gaming or in worldly gain ; but having Devoutly performed
that Office, the reſt of the Day was cheifly taken up in reading

continued in the Church all Day; and there frequently Baptiſed the
Children of the poor People: for a wicked Cuſtom had then got among.
the Prieſts not to give Baptiſm without Money. When he viſited
his Dioceſs, he ſaid Maſs himſelf, and preached himſelf, and eat not
till he had bleſſed certtain Boys that came to him, and this he did
from Morning till the Afternoon. Tis ſaid he frequently confirmed
two or three thouſand in one Day, and this even in his old Age,
ſo as to tire eight Prieſts that ſucceſſively attended him with the Chris-
matory: Thoſe that came to him to Confeſſion he received kindly,
heard them patiently, reproved them meekly, ſo as many from all
Parts of England came to him for Ghoſty Counſel and Advice, and
among the reſt Harold afterwards King, and that fometimes thirty miles
out of his way to Confeſs his Sins unto him, and to receive Abſolution
from him. Wherever he was he always went into the Church to
Sing Mattins, let it Hail, or Rain, or Snow, and the way never fo
dirty, thither would he go to do it. He heard Maſs conſtantly
twice a Day, and ſometimes would ſing the third himſelf. When he
took a Journey as ſoon as he got on Horſeback he began the Pſalter,
and made no Pauſe till he had ended it, and when it was ended, he
added to it the Litanies and many Collects and Vigils, with Veſpers
for Souls ; if the way was long and Time to do it, he repeated
the Pſalter. When he came to his Inn he entered not his Cham-
ber till he had ſaid his Prayers in the Church : and theſe he had
cauſed to be erceted in all his Manors; and in theſe Houſes of Prayer
after Maſs faid, he frequently ſhut himſelf up till Dinner Time,
there to Contemplate on Divine matters. Whether at the Kings Court
or, at his own Table he never ſate down to eat without ſaying
Grace. In hot weather it was his Cuſtom to ly down and re-
freſh himſelf with a little Sleep ; but he could not do it unleſs

or the Life of a Saint : iſ the Reader did his Duty he ſeem'd to
Sleep ; as ſoon as he left off he awaked. He ſuffered not the pub-
lick Worſhip to be performed negligently : if any of the Monks or
Clerks through Drowſineſs or Drunkenneſs came not to Martins,
he was ſure to reprove and to correct them : he always roſe early
himſelf, and by his Example excited others to do the fame.
If neceſſity called him to a County Court, at his entrance he beſtow-
ed his Curſe on bad, his Bleſſing on good Juries. Then ſitting down, if
any good was in Diſpute he diligently attended to it ; if any.worldly
matter he ſlumbred. If any thing was ſaid againſt himſelf, his Anſwers
were not dull but ſharp, for he was not ſo unlearned as Lanfranc
and the Normans took him to be: tho” he did not underſtand
the Greek and Latin Authors, and was ignorant of the Fables of the
Poets ; yet he underſtood other matters well enough : tho' he was
not skilled in Syllogiſms and Scholaſtick Diſputes, yet he could make
a very handſome Diſcourſe, and that Extempore upon Divine Sub-
jects, ſo as to draw Tears from his Auditors, whilft he movingly
ſpake on the joys of Heaven, and on the Pains of Hell. In a
word he did more good, and more powerfully perſuaded from the
goodneſs of his own Life, which was ſutable to the Soundneſs of
his Doctrine, than they did from the greatneſs of their Eloquence,
his Preaching was not with enticing Words of Mans Wisdom, but
in demonſtration of the Spirit and of the Power of God. He was
very carefull not only for the Souls, but the Bodies of the Faith-
full, not fuſſering any to ride through a Churchyard, or trample
on the places where they lay buried : when he heard of the Death
of

He promoted Pety and Charity abroad as well as at Home,
and eſpecially among the Brethren of the Benedictine Order. Not
long after his being made a Biſhop, he entred into a Fraternity cr
Fellowſhip, with Ægelwig Abbot of Eofeſyam, Wulfwold Abbot of
Thégtſer, tlfsige Abbot of Bath, Edmund Abbot of Pershode, Ralf
Abbot of Winecelcombe, Serlo Abbot of Glouceller, and Ælfſtan of
Wozretter, and all their Brotherhood; that they would truly ſerve
God, St. Mary, and St. Benedict, and be faithfull to their So-
vereign Lord King William, and their Lady Maud, and be true
one to another as if they were cne Monaſtery, one Heart,
and one Soul : . that every Week on Mondays and Frydays they
would Sing two Maſles in each Mynſtre for all the Brother-
hood, for thoſe that were living, and for every Brother that died,
and do other Acts of Charity in Waſhing, Feeding, Shoeing and
Cloathing Poor Men (a). And when Thomås was Prior, he with the
Monks here at Wozcelter made another agreement, with Abbot Alwyn,
and the Brethren at Ramlee, that they alſo would be as one Mon-
aſtery, performing all devout Offices one for another, and have all things
Common (b). It is no wonder if many Miracles are reported
to have been done by ſo good a Man, eſpecially in an Age fruitfull
of Legendary Stories ; thoſe who take pleaſure in reading of them,
may find them in his life wrote by William of Malmsbury, in Flor-
ence, in Capgrave and others. I ſhall here mention but one of them,

and of forgiving others, as we would have Forgiveneſs of our Offen-
ces at God's Hand. Being called by Serlo, Abbot of Glouceſter, to
conſecrate a Church there, he made a Diſcourſe to the People, in
which, among other things, much he ſaid of Peace ſo movingly, that
ſeveral that had been long at Variance immediately forgave each other,
and were reconciled: there was one among them, who by no Admo-
nitions or Perſuaſions could be wrought on to forgive his Enemy the
Death of his Brother'; to whom, being come into the midſt of them,
and after much ſaid to him, he perſiſting in his Uncharitableneſs, he,
faid, Bleſſed are the Peacemakers, for they ſhall be called the Sons of God.
*It is certain, that if the Peacemakers are bleſſed, and the Sons of God;
then thoſe that are at Variance are miſerable, and the Sons of the Devil:
I commend thee to him whoſe Son thou art, and deliver thee up unto San
tan for the Deftruétion of the Fleſh, according to the Command of the
Apoſtle, that thy Spirit may be ſaved in the Day of the Lord Jeſus (a). He
had ſcarce finiſhed theſe Words, but the miſerable Man now in the
Power of his Enémy, began to gnafh bis Teeth, to foam at the Mouth,
his Hair to ſtand upright, and being thrown to the Ground, there to
roll about as one diſtracted. Wulftan intreated to be merciful unto
him, put it off for ſome Time ; but at length preſſed hard, and over-
come with Tears, he commanded Satan to be gone, who departed as
readily as he came : when come to bimſelf, and deſired to forgive
the Crime, with wonderful Imprudence he refuſed : a ſecond Time
tormented, and again releaſed, he ſtill refuſed : but the third Tinie,
when ſhattered in all his Limbs, through the Agitations of the Evil
Spirit, and ready to expire, then he made Peace, and was recon-

his See froni Thetfogd thither (@a: In 1102. he was at a great Coun-
eil held by Archbiſhop Anſelm, wherein many Abbots, French and Eng=
tiſh, were depoſed and deprived of the Honours they had unjully ac-
quired ; anongſt whom was Guido Abbot of Perfjaré (b). In 1108.
his own Son Thomas was elected Archbiſhop of York, between whoni
and Anſelm Archbiſhop of Canterbury there was renewed the Contro-
verſy about the Subjection of one Metropolitan to the other, during
which Anſelm died, 1109 : upon whoſe Death the Biſhops of the
Province being ſummoned by the King, to know what was to be done
in that Affair, he gave his Opinion downright againſt his own Son,
that he ſhould not receive the Pall fent him from Rome, without
making his Profeſſion of Canonical Obedience to the Sée of Canters
bury (C). He was in great favour with King Herzry, who granted
to him and his Succeſſors many Privileges, viz. that ſeveral Hides of
Land in Gloeceftreſhire, wireceffreſhire, and Warwicthire, ſhould
be taxed with his other Lands, and follow his Hundreds (d). And with
his Leave and Confirmation, he granted to Thomas Prior of Wifrecettre
and his Brethren, the Church of Tuluerunhamtone in Staffoadſhire,
with Lands and Poſſeſſions, and all things belonging thereto; as free-
ly and quietly as his Lord King William had given them to him.
Witneſſes to this were Archdeacon Ailric, Frederic, and Ailwin his
Chaplains (e). He alſo confirmed to them the Gift of Osbert the Son
of Richard of the Churches of Bureffune and Dudzenbull, with

placing there the Seculars, according to the firſt Inſtitution of that
Monaſtery, before the Times of Oſwald and Wulſtan, was ſuch a Crime
as not to be pardoned, and becauſe he happened to die there, they
gave it out, that it was a Judgnient upon him for what he had done;
and yet at the ſame time they gave him this Character, that he was
a Man of great Learning, and of no contemptible Eloquence, keep-
ing an handſome Table for himſelf, and being very bountiful to o-
thers, in all things blameleſs, except in this Affair of queſtbury (a).
He was the Twenty fifth Biſhop of Worceſter, and died on Sunday
the third of the Nones of May, 1112 (6), and lies buried before the
Rood Loft, where is now the Organ, at the bottom of the Steps
going up into the Choir. Upon his Death the See was not imme-
diately filled, no more than that of Canterbury was upon the Death
of Anſelm, which had then been void Three Years : and before another
Biſhop ſucceeded, on the 13. of the Kalends of June, or as others ſay of
July (r), the Year after Biſhop Sampſon died, this City, with the Cathe-
dral Church and Caſtle, were conſumed by Fire, and one Monk, and

on Sunday the fifth of the Kalends of July, Ralph Archbiſhop of
Canterbury, in the preſence of many Biſhops, Abbots, and Nobles,
received from Anſelm, the Popes Legate, lis Pall from Rome; which
having put on, he conſecrated in'a ſolemin manner this Theulfus or The
obaldus; Richard Bihop of London, Roger Biſhop of Salisbury,
Heribert of Nozwich, Ralph of Chicheſter, John of Bath, and Har-
vey Biſhop of Ely, aflilling (a). In the Year 1117. he gave to his
Monks his Filhery at Beverey, and all that belonged thereto, with
ſome Land in the Suburbs, for making better Proviſion for their
Table (l); and he confirmed to them the Churches of Bureſton and
Dudzenbull, which Osbert the Son of Richard had given them for the
health of his Soul (c). On the ninth of the Kalends of November, 1121.
he with Richard Biſhop of Herefold, Urban Biſhop of Glamorgan, and
Gregory Biſhop of Dublin, confecrated the great Church at Tewkers
bury (d). I find nothing more of him, but that he died at his Manor
of Hampton 2oth of October, 1123. on a Saturday, and was buried by
his Predeceſſor Sampfon (e). In the beginning of the Year 1125. the King
then in Normandy gave this Bifhoprick to

to his ſecond Queen Adeleide Daughter of Godfrey Duke of Lovati i
after Eaſter he came into England along with the two Archbiſhops Wil-

honourably received at Worceſter on the Eighth of May, being then
Holy Thurſday, from whence he went to Canterbury, where the Arch-

he alſo ſubſcribed, with many other Lords and Prelates, to King Henry's
Charter to the Abbey of Reading (1). He was not preſent at the
great Council held at London in the Year 1127. for he was then be-
yond Sea viſiting his Parents (c) : but he was preſent at that held there
on the Kalends of Auguſt, 1129. about Clergymens Wives (d). Oni
the fifth of the Ides of January, 1130. he conſecrated Reginald a Monk
of Gloucetter to be Abbot of Eveſham, and on the third of the Nones
of Auguſt, Walter Lacy to be Abbot of Glouceſter. On Rogativa
Sunday this Year, he was at the Dedication of the new Church at Calle

was again burnt down by caſual Fire, and the Cathedral Church much

was fummoned to a Council at Rome, whither he went with Thes
obald Archbiſhop of Canterbury, Roger Biſhop of Coventry, Robert
Biſhop of Exeter, Reginald Abbot of Evenham, where they were all
honourably received' by the Pope. During his abſence King Stephen
came to Worceſter within the O&aves of Eaſter, and was received
with a ſolemn Proceſſion of the Clergy and Laity; but within a few
Months after came the Forces of gaud, and took the City, burnt part
of it, and ſpoiled the whole (a). As to the Character of this Biſhop,
William of Palmsbury, who was cotemporary with him, tells
us,
that he was highly eſteemed for his Affability, for the ſweetneſs of his Tem.
per, and for his Munificence, as far as confifted with the Revenues of a
ſmall Biſhoprick (b). We have ſeveral Inſtances of this in our ancient
Regiſters, not mentioned by any of our Hiſtorians ; he gave in perpetu-
al Alms, to the Monaſtery at Worceſter, his Priory of little Palvern,
with the Church of St. Giles there, ſituated and built on his Demelne,
and in his Fee, ordering it to be one inſeparable Body, as well in Coha-
bitation as in Profeſſion, with Worceſter, ſo as no Man ſhould be ad-
mitted to take the Habit in little Malvernt, without the Conſent of
the Biſhop, Prior, and Convent of Worceſter, but to be re-
ceived with a joint Will and Benedictions ; as alſo that it ſhould be
lawful for the Prior of Worcefter, by way of Correction, to remove
the Monks of Walvern to Wloncetter, and place Monks of Wozcetter
in their Rooms, and that the Prior of malvern ſhould be choſen in the
Chapter of Worceſter, as one of the fame Body (c). He reſtored to
them the Right they formerly had to the Church of Weſtbury in

Profeſſion of Canonical Obedience, ſtill reſerved in the Archives of the

liam Peverell, Son and Heir of Peverell de Beauchamp, came and fur-
rendered up unto him all his Right and Title to Codeſton or Cutteſden on
the Hills, confirming the Grant his Father had made thereof to the
Church and Monks of Worceſter. Upon which, in his Preſence, and
with his Conſent, the Biſhop gave Prior Ralph the Poſſeſſion of it, re-
ceiving his Homage, and reſerving the Services due to him and his Suc-
ceſſors; and for this the Prior gave to Peverell two Marks of Silver (6).
Godwin tells us, he gave Bibery to the Abbey of Deney, and the
Manor of Elme Biſhop to his own See, but quotes no Authority. I
believe he read Elme Biſhop for Clive Biſhop, miſtaking the for
an E and the iv for an in, a famous Manor in Gloceſterſhire belonging
to this See for many Years. He was the twenty eighth Biſhop of WOZ:
cetter, and died at Rome Anno. 1158.

all our antient Hiſtorians agree that he died in 1160. ſays Wharton. Al

Years, and that in 1162. Fromund Abbot of Teukeſbury was conſecrat-

Notwithſtanding the Authority of Malmesbury, which Godwin and
Alford follow, it is very certain, that he was the twenty ninth Biſhop of
this See, and immediate Succeffor to John Pagabam, as appears not
only from what Mr. Wharton ſays in his Comment on the Worcetter
Annals, but from the firſt and moſt antient Regiſter of the Dean and

tural Son of King Henry the firſt. He was elected at the frequent Re-
queſt of Archbiſhop Anſelm, in March 1163. being young in
Years, but old in Virtue, and eminent for Piety. He was conſecrated on
the Kalends of September, 1164 by the Archbiſhop, being the firſt Biſhop
he conſecrated, and was inthroned on the fourth of the Nones of Fe-
bruary, 1165.(C). He confirmed to the Prior and Convent all the Grants
of his Predeceſſors concerning the Church of St. Hellens, and the
Chapels tlieręto belonging, allotting, with their Confent, one Moi-

adhered firmly to Thomas Becket Archbiſhop of Canterbury in all his
Sufferings, of which there are abundant Proofs in ſeveral of the ſaid
Archbiſhop's Letters ; after whoſe Murther Roger; with others, was ſent
by King Henry the ſecond 1171. on an Embaſſy to Alexander the third,
to aſſure that Pope, that lie had no hand in the fame, and neither com-
manded or approved of it (b). In 1175. he was at a great Council held at

Simon de Mans gave to the Prior and Convent of Woccetter, for the
Souls of his father and Mother, and his own, the Advowſon of the
Chapels of Dodenham and Knightwich), which Biſhop Roger by his
Deed, ſealed with his Seal, confirmed to them (1). In 1178. the Monks,
not pleaſed with Osbert's Gift of the Church of St. Auguſtin Doderyuli
to the poor Nuns of Weſtwde, in the time of Biſhop Alured, did now
reclaim the fame; but Ralph the Son of Stephen, the King's Chamber-
lain, with others, ſtanding by them, it was referred to Biſhop Roger,
who ended it thus : That the Monks ſhould have the Church of St. Au-
guſtin, and that the Nuns, in lieu thereof, ſhould have all the Land of
Clethal, with the Meadow, and all its other Appurteninces, the Tithes
of their Lands, which they held in the Pariſh of Doderhull at the time
of the making of this Compoſition, to wit, the Tithes of Weffwde, tlie
Tithes of the Land of Clethal, and the Tithes of the Land of Cruche,
the Sepulture and the Obventions of all that dwelt on their faid Lands,
free from any Claim to be laid to them by the Parſon of the Church of
St. Auguſtin (c). Some ſay that this Year he went again to Rome,
and was preſent at the Lateran Council, wlience returning, he
died at Tours in France, Aug. 9, 1179. and was there buried
(d). But Hoveden tells us, that there were but four Biſhops that went
out of England to that Council, and thoſe he ſays were Hugh Biſhop
of Durham, Fohn Biſhop of Nolwich, Robert Biſhop of Herefold;
and Reginald Bithop of Bath (€). He was renarkable for
many Vir-

Church Diſcipline. When he heard of a certain Perſon's being elected
to a Biſhoprick, of which he was altogether unworthy, he wrote to

petitioned the King for the Diſafforeſting of the Foreſts of Ambjesiy:
and Borewell; but though then he could nor obtain his Suic buc only for
eight Months(n), yet it was done afterwards in 1229, in che 13th Year
of that King's Reign).
WILLIAM de Bleis, Archdeacon of Buckingham, ſucceeded,
much againſt the Wills of the Monks, who would have choſen a Biſhop
themſelves out of their own Body; but Guala the Pope's Legate hin-
dred them : However, by the Advice and Perſuaſions of the Archbiſhop
of Canterbury, they conſented to his Election, and he was conſecrated
at Weftininfter 7 Oct. 1218. and inthroned the fifth of the Calends of
November, on the Day of St. Simon and Jude (P). In 1229. he held a
Dioceſan Synod, at which the Abbot of Evetham appealed, becauſe he
was not allowed to wear his Mitre, nor fit next to the Biſhop. In this, and
in another held under him not long after, many good Conſtitutions were
made (9). In 1220 he viſited his Convent, and examined very ſtrictly
both into their ſpiritual and temporal Affairs, which was the beginning
of a great Controverſy between them; the Biſhop endeavouring co de-
poſe the Prior, and the Prior appealing to Rome, from whence the next
Year he received Letters from the Pope, injoining that neither he nor
his Succeſſors ſhould be turned out, before the Cauſe was firſt heard by
his Delegates. The Biſhop appealing, the Prior was forced to go for
Rome, and there in 1222 the Pope ſuſpended him from his Office, and
upon his return, the Biſhop depoſed him, and placed William Norman,
Prior of Palvern, in his Room, which was the occaſion of many
Vexations and Troubles all the next Year, buc at laſt was happily ended
in the Year 1224, by Stephen 'Archbiſhop of Canterbury, ypcelin Bi-

of Reading, with ſeveral others, who thus decided the Controverſy be-
tween them : That William Norman ſhould reſign all his Right and
Title to the Priory, which he did, and had the Manor of Clive aſſigned
to him for his Maintenance during his Life. Thac for the future,
whenever the Priory was vacant, the Convent fhould chooſe and pre-
ſent unto the Biſhop ſeven of the moſt eminent Monks amongſt them,
out of which he was to chooſe one without delay to be their Prior.
The Cuſtody of the Priory to be in the Biſhop during the Vacancy, but
upon that account the Ordination of the Prior was not to be delayed ;
and if the Bishop ſhould happen to go out of the Realm, he was to
fubftitute a Perſon in his Abſence to do the fame. As for the Profits a-
riſing from the Tomb of St. Wulftan, at which it was ſaid many Mira'a.
cles were at that Time wrought, it was decreed, that they ſhould be di-
vided between the Biſhop and the Convent. As to the Biſhop's Viſitation
of them, before he entered their Chapter-Houſe, he was to give them
Notice, whether he intended to viſit them in Spirituals, or in Temporals ;
if in Spirituals, he was to enter alone without his Clerks, if in Temporals,
they might come in along with him. And laſtly, that all things being
reſtored that had been taken from them, all Rancor and Wrath ſhould
ceaſe between them, and they ſhould give each other the Kifs of
Peace. This bears date che Thurſday after the Feaſt of St. Michael,
1224 (r). This Year he laid the Foundation of a new Front to his
Cathedral, and in the next he excommunicated all the Perſons chat
were concerned in a great Torneament made in the City of Worefter.
In 1233, the Controverfy between him and the Priory of Great Mato
vern was 'ended, it had begun in Biſhop Roger's Time about Subjection

Convent of Wovelfer about the Church of St. Hellens, the Cauſe being
decided by Sir William de Tyntone, Rector of Kemſey, and Ms. Nicholas :
de Grimeley, to whom it had been referred, thus: That all the Profits
accruing or belonging to the Chapel of St. Hellens on the eaſtern Side
of Severni, ſhould belong to the - Biſhop, ſaving the Maintenance of

River ſhould belong to the Prior and Convent, for their
better keeping of
Hoſpitality, they to maintain Vicars in the Chapels of Wick and .
Wichenford, which were to be preſented to the Biſhop by the ſaid Prior
and Convent (t): And upon this Award, the annual Payment of eight
Marks, which they received from the Church of St. Hellens, ceaſed. In
1235,
he gave to the Sacriſt the Church of Sodbury, for the better
repairing and upholding the Cathedral Church of Toxcelfer ; and in
1236, on the Death of William Furnells, laſt Rector of Buemeſgrave,
with the King's Leave, he appropriated that Church to the Uſe of the
Monks, and having ordained the Vicaridge, he admitted the Vicar up-
on their Preſentation (u). He enlarged the Revenues of his Biſhoprick by
purchaſing ſeveral Lands to it. He gave eight Marks of Silver to Cecily de

my Lord of Canterburry, and many other Peers of the Realm (k). In
the O&aves of the Feaft of St. Martin he was preſent at a great Coun-
eil held by the Legate at St. Paul's Londan; ; where Otta deſigning to de-
prive many who held Ecclefiaftical Benefices contrary to all Right,
hoping by removing fome, to make way to enrich his Friends, and
oblige others baſe born to get Diſpenſations, and ſo to amaſs to him-
félf a good Sum of Money, he was courageouſly oppoſed by this Bis
Thop, who riſing up, and taking off his Mitre, is ſaid thus to have
ſpoken, Thoſe who hold theſe Benefices, Holy Fatber; are. Noble, and are
either old or young ; thoſe that are old, have always hitherto lived
nourably, maintained a ſplendid Family, kepi open Houſe, and have been
very liberal to the Poot: to reduce theſe to Poverty, would be moſt ignomi-
nious and ſcandalcus. As for thoſe that are young, they are fierce and fout,
and will ſooner take up Armsthan leave their Preferments. I myſelf was
always of this Opinion, that I had ratber run the Hazard of all my Bene-
fices, than under the Pretence of ſuch your Conflitution, to depoſe ſo much as
one : we therefore beg you that you will in this matter take no leſsi Care of
Yourſelf than of Us, who in this Cauſe neither can nor dare oppoſe fo gene-
rous a Multitude. But laying it now aſide for your own and our Safety,
when you ſhall return to Rome, adviſe the Pope to act cautiouſly and prii-
dently berein. (1). The Legate frighịned with this Anſwer, dèfifted from
this Attempt, but went on with other Matters, and it is ſaid, he deprived
ſome who had immediately ſucceeded their Fathers in their Benefices,
expreſly contrary to the Canons (m). In 1238, by the Pope's Com-
mand, and with Conſent of Biſhop Walter, and Alexander Biſhop of
Coventry and Lichfield, it was agreed, That the Town and Churches
of Dudley, being in Worceſterſhire, Thould belong to the Biſhop of

In this Year, being the third of his Poncificate, on the eleventh of the

of the King Licence to hold a Fair at Blockley for five Days, another

they all promiſed to ſtand by one another, following the Steps of
Sc: Thomas the Martyr in defending unto Death the Liberty of the

To compromiſe this Matter, were choſen by the Biſhop, Mr. Thomas
Wymundham, and the Prior of St. Thomas of Stafford ; by the Earl,
the Abbot of Evelham, and Sir Robert Walrond, who:met ſeveral Times
to treat about it, at. Glouceſter, at Wincheſter, at London, at Wode:

de Cantilupe all Pleas de Vetito Namio in all his Lands belonging to the

that at the next Sitting of Parliament, an Act ſhould be procured for
the Earl not to pay theſe fix Marks to the Biſhop and his Succeſſors, but

: On the third of May 1273, he left his Dioceſe, and by Ichull, a Ma-

following was at Canterbury, and on the Morrow went over Sea, and
landed at Whitſond, leaving Power with his Brother the Archbiſhop of
Pork, by his Deed dated 2 Id. Maii, to diſpoſe of all vacant Be-

the Calends of May, the Sunday after the Feaſt of St. Mark the Evan-

Epiſcopal Jüriſdiction in their ſeveral particular Dioceſes; upon this he
drew-up ſeveral Petitions, and ſent them to R. de Wych, his Agent as
Rome, to communicate them to the Pope, and deſire his Advice and
Affiſtance.• They beat Date 5 Non. of May 1282, (x). The Arch-
biſhop, it ſeems, proceeded ſo far as to excommunicate the Biſhop of
Herefold, for refuſing to ſubmit to his Orders; and becauſe Biſhop
Godfrey joined with him, he charged him with Simony, and Diſobedience,
and Perjury; upon which he appealed in form for Protection and Re-
dreſs to the Apoſtolick See, 5 Cal. February 1283 (y). But ſoon after
meeting together and ſtating Matters fairly, they were reconciled, and
he notified the ſame to his Chapter, by a Letter dated at Jchull, a Ma-
nor of his own chat he had in Hampſhire, the 13th Kal. of April, the
fame Year, 'Upon this Reconciliation, ſome ill-minded Perſons gave out,
that the Peace between them would not be long lived, for that the Arch-
biſhop was not ſincere in the Matter; upon which he wrote to him
Ides of March, and received from him on the Ides of the ſame a very
gracious and kind Anſwer, aſſuring him of the Sincerity of his Heart,
and of his future Friendſhip (2), and I do not find that they had any dif-
ference afterwards. About the ſame Time that this Controverſy aroſe be-

and the Abbot of Wieflininfter. In his Viſitation of the Priory of Great
Malvern, he had depoſed William Ledbury their Prior, a Man of
very
looſe Morals, and guilty of very great Crimes, but this being a Cell to
Weſtminſter, the Abbot thereof cook the Prior under his Protection,
and denied the Biſhop's Juriſdiction. The Cauſe was hotly controvert-

Year of his Reign, ordered him to be poc in Poffeffion of the ſame (a).
In 1286, he fent John de Butterley, one of his Clerks, to Rome;' to pro-
cure the Appropriation of Cipve to his See, and to make the Church a
Prebend in the Church of Wettbury, together with Leave to make che
Livings in his own Gift Prenbendal Churches of the fame. But he
inet 'not with that'Succeſs he expected, for as to the Appropriation of
flyve, and that too only for his Life, they demanded 200 l. Sterling to
be paid into the Pope's Chamber, and 40. Márks to the Pope's Secretary;
and ás' to the Prebend, and the Prebendal Churches, he could get no
Anſwer. Upon which he wrote to his Proctor ac Rome, John de But-
terley, to try to do what he could as to the Appropriation of the
Church of Clive to him and his Succeffors, and the Prebend in the
Church of Weſtbury, and thoſe Churches in his Patronage, but not to
comply with ſuch extravagant Terms as they demanded, and if inſiſted
on, to recurn home immediately (b). With much ado he got the
Sum lowered to two Hundred and Fifty Marks, and ſo on the 4th of
the Nones of November, 1287, Clive was appropriated to him for the
Uſe of his Table during Life, and as to other Matters they remained
as they were (C). This Bull was ſent to him with all ſpeed, for on the

Meat and Drink, to furniſh the Chapel with all Things neceſſary, to

the
Maſter, promiſed the Biſhop to ; releaſe unto him and his Succeſſors,
their Right and Title to the yearly Rent of ten Pounds out of his Ma-
nor of Henbury in Saltmarſh, and to give up the Writings belonging
to the ſame, which I ſuppoſe he did ; for in 1298, on the Monday after
,
the Feaſt of Șt. Barnaby, the Biſhop reſtored to them that ten Pounds
a Year (e) alſo. In 1288 there began a Controverſy between him and
his Convent, which laſted off and on until the Day of his Deach.
One occaſion thereof was, that when he ordained at Wieſtbury on the
14th of the Calends of Etober this Year, Thomas de Wich, Chantor of
his Cathedral Church, appeared there, and according to antient Cuſtom
(ſay the Worceſter Annals) began to call up thoſe that were to be ordain-
ed (f), when John of Eureux Archdeacon of Glouceſter, the Biſhop's
Nephew, ſtood up and aſſerted, chat that Office belonged to him
the Biſhop favouring of him, the Chantor was thruſt out of the Chancel
by force (s). Upon this, the Priør and Convent appealed in behalf of
the Right of their Church to the Apoſtolick Sèe, and for Protection
to the Court of Canterbury. On Wedneſday before the Feaſt of the
Nativity of our Lord, he gave them Notice by John de Dumbleton his
Sacrift, that on the Thurſday following he would come to the 'Chapter
to treat both of Spirituals and Temporals, according to the Compofition
made in the Time of his Predeceſſor William de Bleys ;' and coming

appear there the next Court Day after the Purification of the Virgin
Mary, bearing Date the Morrday after the Feaſt of St. Andrew 1288 (h).
Thiş being read, the Biſhop alone entered the Chapter-houſe to creat
concerning Spirituals only, and thus began, I am come here to correct
your daily Faults, to whom the Prior anſwered, Father, it dotb not belong
to you. The Biſhop replied, Do you not make Profeſion to me? the Pri-
:or ſaid, No, but to God and the Church ; and teſt he ſhould prejudice
the Convent by exerciſing any ſpiritual Power contrary to the Compofi-
tion, the ſaid Brother Stephen again appealed to the Apoftolick See, and
for Tuition, to the Court of Conterbury, upon which the Biſhop re-
çired (i), but gave them publick Notice by his Sacriſt, that he would
come again and treat of Spirituals only on the Friday before the Trana
flation of St. Wulftan, on which Day, before the Door of the Chapter
Houſe, the ſaid Brother again appealed, alledging on behalf of his. Con-
vent, that the Biſhop had threatned to take away from them the Chapel
of Grafton ; to make the Prior confeſs unto him, and to no other without
his Licence; to correct the daily Exceſſes of the Monks, as being to
them an Abbot ; to cauſe the Archdeacon to be inſtalled by another than
by the Prior, contrary to ancient Cuſtom ; and that he had threatned
to puniſh the ſaid Prior for Irregularity. This Appeal being read, im.
mediately Richard de Micham, Rector of Icumbe, Proctor to the Biſhop,
appealed, alledging on his behalf, That whereas He and his Prede
ceſſors had an undoubted Right to receive the Profeſſions of all the Re-
ligious entering his Convent; to come to their Chapter Houſe, when he
pleaſed, to treat both of Spirituals and Temporals; to correct their daily
Exceſſes, and to appoint whom he pleaſed in the Abſence of his Arch-
deacon, co take care of the Perſons to be ordained, all which had been

and to pay him forty Marks more by 'equal Portions on the Feaſts of
Lady Day, and the Nativity.of. St. John Bapiift. And upon this the
Biſhop by his Deed dated xv Cali February, granted, that all Spiri-
tuals Thould be in the ſame State as they were on the xvth of the Ca-
lends of Ostober, which was the Day before the Chantor was thruſt out
of the Chancel at Weſbury; that the ancient Compoſition made be-
tween them and his Predeceffor William de Bley'sy ſhould ſtand good;
and a stop be put to all further Proceedings. And moreover pro-
miſed that as he had not hitherto, lo neither for the future would he de-
mand any Amerçements of the Prior's Tenants in his Manor of Alweſton,
in the Hundred of Pathelowe, Warwickſhire (R).
· Another occaſion of the Controverſy
' that aroſe between them this
Year 1288, was his annexing the beſt Livings in his Gift to the Colle-
giáte Church of Weſtbuicy, and giving of them to the Prebendaries
there, to which the Prior and Convent would not conſent, as depriving
them of ſeveral Profits and Privileges ariſing therefroin during the Va-
cancy of the See. And when, notwithſtanding their refuſing to ſet their
Seal thereto, he did proceed therein, they appealed to Rome, from whence
in the Year 3289, came a Bull from Pope Nicholas, ſetting forth the
Çomplaint of the Prior and Convent, that the Biſhop had annexed the
Rectories of Kemfey, Budon, Wythindon, Clybe, and Tuleſton, to the
Collegiate Church of Wleftbury, and made them Prebendal-co the fame,
and given them to his own Familiarş: and the Pope therein delegated
the Abbots of Bading and Wigmore, and the Precentor of Wells, to
hear and determine the ſame, dated at Rome xv Kal. of May, the ſecond
Year of his Pontificate. This Bull was ſent to the Biſhop by his Proctor
Mr. John Blundell, and he received it before the prior and Gonvient had

count of his Studies and other Buſineſs, it was left to the Archdeacon of
Drfold, and to the Dean of the Monaſtery of Eveſham, and the Par-
ties were ſummoned to appear before them at the Conventual Church
of Rading on the fifth Court Day after the Feaſt of All Saints (O), on
which Day, being the third of the Ides of February, the Dean of
Evelham came not, but ſent a Letter in Excuſe, and nothing further do
I find done by them in it. But on the Nones of March following, the
Biſhop procured Letters from the King and Queen and many of the Non
bility to the Prior and Convent, to'exhort and perſuade them to comply
with this Requeſt (m), which had no Effect upon them. So the Cauſe
came to an Hearing before the King and Council on Tueſday if Whitfuh

not ſuffet the Chantor to execute his Office. And ſay further, That on

them any Allowance for the Expenſe they had been at in recovering
the ſame in the King's Courts, which amounted to no leſs than 200 l.

the Hearing and Determining of this Matter to himſelf; and ordered
him to cite the Prior and Convent to appcar, before him at his next
Court Day, before the Feaſt of St. Peter ad Vincula;, as alſo in all the
Churches of his City and Dioceſe; to declare all thoſe Excommunicate
that had thrown down and abuſed and trod upon the Friars, when the
Corps was taken from them, diligently to inquire their Names, and
peremptorily to cite the Guilty to appear before him on the ſaid Courg
Day. The Worceſter Annals tell us, that on the Eve of St. James,
the Biſhop made a particular Inquiry into this Affair by a Jury of
ſworn Clerks and Laymen, who returned, that it was the laſt Will of
the deceaſed to be buried in the Church Yard of St. Mary, and that
no one willingly did any hurt to them, but that the Preſs of the Crowd
was ſo great, that ſome of them were thruſt on heaps of Dung on which
they fell
. I find nothing of this in the Biſhop's Regiſter, and it pofi-
tively contradicts the Archbiſhop's Letter and Mandate there recorded
which affert, that the ſaid H. Poche did deſire by his laſt Will and
Teſtament to be buried in the burial Place of the Friars Minors; and for
this Reaſon he ſent poſitive Orders to the Biſhop, that He or his Official
ſhould give Notice to the Prior and Convent, that if they did not with-
in fifteen Days deliver up the Body, both He and the Officers of the
Convent ſhould incur the Pain of the greater Excommunication, and
their Church bė pur' under an Interdiet. So they were forced to
ſubmit, and the Friars promiſing to come privately, and with all the
Modeſty that could be to take it away, it was delivered to them the
Day after St. Thomas the Apoſtle ; but inſtead of coming privately,
they came with a great Pomp and Tumult, declaring their Right, and

Earl of ølouceſter and bertfozd, - and Yoan his Counteſs, about
Trench which they had made on the Top of Palverne Hill, to the
Damage of the Church of Worceſter, which by the Mediation of Ro-

that the Earl and his Counteſs ſhould pay yearly to the Biſhop and his
Succeffors, a brace of Bucks and a brace of Does out of his Chace ar
Dalverne, at his Palace at Kemſey; and in the Vacancy of the See, the
fame to be paid to the Prior and Convent of Wozceſter, demanding
them by their Atrorney at the Caſtle of Qenley ; which Agreement was
afterwards confirmed by King Edward the Firſt ac Dozbam, in the nine-
teepth Year of his Reign (x). In 1293, there was iſlued out a Writ
againſt the Biſhop to the High Sheriff of the County of Southampton
commanding him to ſeize his Manor of Ichull, and all his Lands with-
in his Bayliwick, for his killing a Deer in the Foreſt of Colinggetusge;

Auger his Nephew, and William Savage" his Butler, and Henry his
Huntſman, and Ralph Sprengebuſė, before the King wherever he ſhould

Door of the Chapter Houſe by Mr. Geoffry and two Monks more, who
told them, that they were by no Means to be admitted, it being contrary
to the Agreement made between them, and hitherto obſerved. On the
14th of the Calends of September, being ſtill fick, "he commiffioned
Mr. Robert de Glouceſtre, and Brother Nicholas de Norton Sacrift, to
viſit the Prior and Chapter ; the Sacriſt to do it alone as to Spirituals
,
but both together as to Temporals (). How they were received, or
what they did at this Viſitation, is not ſaid: but at the Viſitation of Ro-
bert de Winchelle Archbiſhop of Canrerbury, on the March'following, ,
they exhibited againſt the Biſhop no leſs than thirty fix Articles, con-
taining all their former Complaints and Quarrels, and ſome other Mat-
ters of leſs Notice, to all which he gave in his particular Anſwers (a).
Theſe, I ſuppoſe, ſatisfied the Archbiſhop ; for, on the 2d of the Ides of
that Month he went and viſited 'him lying fick at Wyke, and was
there handſomely entertained. The next Day he viſited the Prior and
Convent, and on the thirteenth of the Calends of April, he entered
again their Chapter Houſe, and depoſed the Subpriør, the Chantor, and
the Chamberlain, and, upon Pain of Suſpenſion,
commanded the Sacriſt
Nicholas de Norton, and the third Prior, and the Pittanciary, not to go
out of the Bounds of the Monaſtery for a Year (b). This his Sick-
neſs proved fatal cor him, for languiſhing thereofu till the Twenty fixth
of January 1391, on a Friday he died in the Evening, and was buried

St. Wulftan in particular, a golden Buckle,, and eight Candles to burn
before his Tomb. On the fixteenth of April 1301,
he came hither
again with his Queen big with Child, and mindful of the Promiſe he
had made, he gave the Prior and Convent the Advowſon of the
Church of Wirfield, for the Maintenance
of three Monks, and two Lights
burning on the Feaſts of St.Wulftan, and their Octaves, and to be light-

Charter, and then went in a Boat towards kemſey. One more Preſent
I find of this King's, which was after Biſhop Godfrey's Death, viz.
in the Year 1303, when he ſent hicher Cloth of Gold for the Great
Altar, a Gold Chain worth five Pounds or more, nine great Candles, and
twenty eight Shillings in Silver (e). Whilft this Biſhop lived, he made
for himſelf a magnificent Tomb near the Great Altar of the Virgin
Mary’s Chapel, removing the Body of John de Conſtantiis, that he
might be buried in his Grave; but Robert Archbiſhop of Canterbury
offended at his thus diſturbing the Dead, by his Mandate dated 10 Jan.

tells us, that he was a Man doubtleſs of great Blood, and who raiſed

Word to the Prior from London, that he intended to ſet out for his
Dioceſe on the ſecond Sunday in Lent. On the fixth of the Calends of
April, he wrote to him from Kingſwood, to deſire his Aſſiſtance, and
that of his Convent, in defraying the Charges of his Inthronization.
On the third of the Calends of the fame Month, they received Letters
from him by R. de Leycefire, and J. de Rodberwe, and others, preſſing
the fame Matter : and another from Briftol dated on Good Friday, more
preſfing than the former: to all which they ſent an Anſwer by Mr. John
de Bradwas, that they could not comply with his Requeſt; and the
Reaſon given why they would not, was, leſt it ſhould become a Prece-
dent for future Biſhops to demand the ſame (P). On the ſixth of the
Ides of June, he came to kemley, where Brother John de Wyke dined

Marks for his Expenſes; which the Biſhop deſired to conſider of, and to
inquire whether it was cuſtomary, and whether his Predeceffors had
paid the time. From herice he went barefoot up Blobury, and to up
Bc. Mary's Steps by the great Gate of the Priory, into the Church-yard,
where he was received by the Prior and Convent, and Biſhops and Pre
fates in their proper Habits: when he came into the Church, as he ap-
proached the High Altar, he made his Adoration, went up to it and
kiſſed it, offered up three Pieces of Cloth of Gold, and there he fornt
gave his Benediction. Thence deſcending to his Stall, he was inchroniſed
with the uſual Ceremonies; which ended, he gave his ſecond Benedition,
and then went into theVeſtry, waſhed his Feet, put on his Shoes, and câme
and celebrated in a ſolemn Manner the Maſs of St. Wulſtan; which ended
he gave to the Hearers thereof an Indulgence of forty Days, and ſo he
went to his Palace, and there made a grand Entertainment for thoſe
that had attended him (9). His walking barefoot to his Cathedral
Church, was doubtleſs to take the People with a Shew of Humility,

from his being ſo very deli-
tous to have all Things done with an Air of Grandeur, the

newly founded there (8). On the 6th of July, 1311, he was made
Chancellor of England. On the 17th Kal. July 1313, he appropriated
the Church of Wotton to the Abbot and Convent of St. Auguſtine in the
City of Briſtol (b). And his Prior and Convent of Wozcefter ſetting
forth the Loſs of eight Manors and five Churches in the Time of the
Wars, and the Extortions they had undergone from Cunning Men, and
the great Expenſe they were obliged to from the daily Conflux of
People about Law and other Matters, and from Strangers coming thither
to paſs over the Severn, there being no Bridge at that time to paſs the
fame between Glouceſter and Bridgenorth but this, whereby they were
ſo impoveriſhed, that without timely Relief, they muſt leſſen the Num-
ber of their fifty Monks, and retrench their Expenſes; to help them
in this their Neceſſity, and to enable them to keep up their uſual Hof-
pitality, he appropriated to them the Church of Doberbull, otherwiſe
called the Hill Church in Wich, by his Deed dated at London on
Michaelmas Day this fame Year 1313 (:). Soon after he was tranſlated
to Canterbury, by the Pope's Bull bearing Date from the Priory of
Gianfell near Melanlane in the Dioceſe of Valcony, October 1. which he
received ar London on the 2 ift. and it was publiſhed in the Church of
St. Paul's the 4th of January following. To him fucceeded

ſuffered many loſſes by Fire, and Inundations, and War, allotting to the
Vicar Twenty five Marks yearly (x). On the 19th of March following
he was at fladbury, where he appropriated to the Precentor of the
Priory of Worcedter the Church of Tpberton, for the Augmentation of
his Salary, which was before but Forty Shillings per Ann, and thae
too little to defray the Charge incumbent on his Office, of copying out
New Books, and repairing the Old, of exhibiting to Clerks officiating

give in a ſoleinn Manner his Benediction to the People, which he ought
only to have done in his own Province, and not in that of another
whereupon the Archbiſhop of Canterbury, as ſoon as he heard thereof,
ſent two Mandates to our Biſhop, commanding him to excommunicate
the ſaid Arvebbiſhop of Pork and all his Adherents, which he did at the
Priory of Lanthanp
near Glouceſter 5 Non. July 1315, and the Official
of the Archdeacon of Worceſter certified that he had done the ſame in
his Archdeaconry, 14 Kal. of Auguſt following (e). Alſo on the 16th of
the Kal. of February this Year, he appropriated the Church of Bidford
in tatarwickſhire, to the Prior and Convent of Kenilworth, to repair
the Loſſes they had ſuſtained during the Siege of that Caſtle, and to
enable them to rebuild the Nave of their Church (f). In 1316, we
find him again in ſeveral Pares of his Dioceſe, particularly at his Ma-
Bors, of vanipton Epiſcopi, Tzłythindon, Bucedoni

I have been a little more particular in ſetting down the Actions of his
Life whilft Biſhop of Worceſter, which ſeem to have been a continued
Series of Care and Devotion, becauſe I find him labouring under the
Character of a Man infamous for his Life and Converſation ; but no.
thing of this appears in his Regiſter. That he was very poor, is plain
from many Places thereof. On the 27th of March, in the 7th of Ed. II.
as ſoon as he came to London, he took up there of Robert de Dumble-
ton, 10 h. to carry him down to his Dioceſe (i). On the 5th of the
Calends of May, he bought of the Archhiſhop his Stock on the ſeve-
ral Manors of this Biſhoprick for 221 l. 6 s. 6 d. but having not where-
withal to pay, he was forced to give Bond for the ſame, payable at
Chriſtmas following (k); and to pay it then, and to ſatisfy other Credi-
tors, he took up of Robert de Maydenſtone Canon of Chicheſter 244 l.
and of John de Bereford Citizen and Merchant of London 100 l.
more (1). On the firſt of June 1315, he gave Bond to Robert de May-
denſtone for the further Sum of 142 I. (m), and on the 13th of July he
impowered Adam de Murymouth, and Andrew Sapiti, to take

not ready Money wherewithal to pay his Lawyers, and therefore to fa-
tisfy them as well as he could, he granted them yearly Penſions ; to An-
drew de Brugge his Advocate in the Court of Canterbury, five Marks
Sterling, to be paid at Michaelmas and Eaſter; the ſame to John de

This is the Perſon, who, in his Hiſtory, hath tranſmitted down to
Poſterity ſo ill a Character of him; angry, perhaps, for not being bet-
ter rewarded by him. His Death was made known to the Prior and
Convent the 7th of April 1317, on the 13th the Prior was conſtituted
the Archbiſhop's Official during the Vacancy of the See, and on the
joth they received the Conge d'Eſlire from the King (9); but before
this, by his Letter dared the roth of April, he had recommended to the
Pope,
THOMAS COBH A M, “ One worthy of his Favours, born of
noble Blood, of eminent Learning, of good Fame, of bright Morals,
of
great Prudence both in Spirituals and Temporals, and endowed
with an Heap of many Virtues (r)." Upon which he promoted
liim to this Biſhoprick, and he was conſecrated at gbignion, by ibe
Cardinal of Poſia, the 11th Calends of June, 13 17. (3). His Education
was at Cambidge, and, as Chancellor of that Univerſity, he is inſerted

April the 27th 1313, which preceded his Election, on the 24th of
September, he promoted thereto Walter Reynold Biſhop of Worceſter,
and, to make Cobham fome amends, he offered him the ſaid Biſhoprick;
but he refuſing, and boldly inſiſting on the Right of his Election, he
incurred both the Pope's and King's Diſpleaſure
. Worceſter was given
to Maydenſtone ; and Cobham retiring, durft not return to England
till Archbiſhop Walter had reconciled him to the King : and upon
Maydenſtone's Death, he accepted of this Biſhoprick, which before he
had refuſed. James Cobham was his Vicar General during his ſtay be-
yond Sea, who, in his Name, received the Obedience of all his Subjects
of the Archdeaconry of Worceſter in the Cathedral Church there, on
the Tueſday before the Nativity of St. John Baptift, ui Cal. July 1317,
and the ſame of all his Subjects of the Archdeaconry of Glouceſter in
the Monaſtery of St. Peter's Church there, on the 5th of the Calends
of the fame Month (u). In that of November he came into England,
and on the 15th was received at Canterbury with a ſolemn Proceſſion
of the Monks, and there made his Profeſſion of Obedience to the
Archbiſhop. On the 25th he was at London, on which Day his Re-
giſter begins, and that of his Vicar General ends. 1, Before this I ſuppoſe
he was inthroned by Proxy ; for at the End of the Acts of James
Cobham, there is a Note inſerted of Fifty ſeven Pounds ſent him by ſe
veral Perſons as Gifts from them at his Inthronization, fifty Marks
of which, he ſays, he paid to the Merchants, and thirty to the Court
of Rome (x). He went not down to his Dioceſe till the Year 1319,
when in November he viſited his Cathedral, and, on the Morrow after
St. Thomas the Apoſtle, he ordained in St. Nicholas's Church Sub-deacons
43, Deacons 96, Prieſts 91, 'in all 230 (y).

he deſired his Majeſty to excuſe him coming thar way, which he did
by a Letter he received from him on the Morrow after Epiphany ; s for
which he returned his Majeſty many Thanks, and aſſured him, thar he
would ſet forward on his Journey on Tueſday che Feaſt of St. Hilary, or
on the Morrow without fail, and doubted not, with God's Aliſtance,
to be at the Place appointed by the Time prefixed (2). Not long after
his return, he wrote a Letter to the Pope to let
him know how Matters
went, and to defire him to put a helping Hand to the Healing of the
Diviſions of the Kingdom, for that whilft he was at the Treaty, the
Barons had rebelled againſt the King. And another he wrore to Fames,
Cardinal Deacon, on the ſame Subject, as alſo to excuſe himſelf for
noc having preferred ſome Perſons that he had recommended ţo him,
and to both he ſent handſome Preſents (a). Upon the Invaſion of the
Ocuts, the King wrote to him to raiſe and ſend ſoine Soldiers for the
Defenſe of the Realm : to which he returned Anſwer, that there were
none fit for Service to be found in theſe Parts
, all ſuch having been al
ready taken up by his Officers; however, that he might not be thought
wancing in Duty, he had ſent him up 50% exeuſing the Smallneſs of
the Preſent upon the Account of his having fuffered many Loſles, and
on his coming to che Biſhoprick found it ſpoiled and naked; but that
whenever his Affairs ſhould be more proſperous he would aſlift him to
the utmoſt of his Power (b), We meet with a very large Ordination of
his at Ambjelly, 15 Kal. Jan. 1322, Accolytes 120, Subdeacons 102,

labouring under unſupportable Burthens, the Loſs of Twenty eight
Manors, and three Churches (f). On the gd Ides of Auguſt
, 1327,
he appropriated the Church of St. Andrew in Perfhoge to the Mo-
naſtery there, their Church and Houſes having ſuffered very much by
Fire, beſides the Loſs of 30 Manors ſince its Foundation (g). This
Year he was, with others, commiſſioned by the Pope to viſit the Chap-
ter of York, upon the Account of ſome Differences ariſen between them
and their Archbiſhop, from whom he received a Letter dated June 5,
fent by Adam de Hafelbech his Domeſtick Chaplain, deſiring him to
come thither in Perſon, and promiſing to defray all the Charges of his
Journey ; but by his Letter dated June 17 (5), he handſomely excuſed
himſelf, by reaſon he then laboured under a Complication of Diſtem-
pers, which foon after brought him to his End; for he died at bertle-
bury on the 27th of Auguſt following (i). By his laſt Will and Teſta-
ment, he left ſeveral of his Prieſtly Garments, his great Miffal, two
Silver Candleſticks, two Silver Vials, and the Image of the Virgin Ma-
ry, given him by the Abbot of St. Auguſtin Briſtol, to the Altar where
he ſhould be buried. His fine Mitre given him by the Archbiſhop of

received nor a Peny, or the Value of a Peny in Corn or Utenſels, but his
Manors ſpoiled, and his Houſes dilapidated, which he had repaired with
no-little Coft (k). He was a learned and good Man, anda Lover of Learn-
ing. He began a Library at Oxford over the old Congregation Houſe do
bour the Year 1320, or rather lacer, for he died in 1327 before it was fi.
niſhed, and it might have been built in leſs than ſeven
Years ; however
he took care to leave enough to perfect it (). He lieth buried in the
North Iſe of the Cathedral, near to the Altar of St. John Baprif, which

Nands cloſe to the North Wall, above the North Door, and a little bem

Upon the Death of Cobbam, the Monks, with Leave from the King,
choſe their Prior Wolfian de Braunsford to be their Biſhop, which
Election his Majeſty confirmed, took his Oath of Fidelity, and de-
livered up the Temporalities to him; and a Rumour being ſpread
abroad that the Pope had made a Reſervation
of this Biſhoprick to him-
felf, he wrote a Letter to him and to all the Cardinals from Nating,

ADAM de ORLTON or HorLETON, Biſhop of bereford, then
at his Court at Avignion, by his Bull dated September the 28th, 1327.
As ſoon as the King heard of it, he was very angry, and on the 12th
of December, he and his great Council, being then at Coventry,
he ſent him a threatning Letter, ſeverely reprimanding him for what
he had done, and injoining him upon his Fidelity and Oath of Alle-
giance, and upon the Forfeiture of all that he could forfeit, to do no-
thing that ſhould prejudice the Right of his Crown; for if he did, he
was reſolved to puniſh him (o). And on the 26th, a Summons was
ſent him to appear in Perſon before the King and Parliament at Pojk,
on the Sunday after the Feaſt of the Purification of the Virgin Mary, and
not to fail at his Peril (P); but it ſeems the Pope's Authority prevailed,
and
got
the better of the King, who delivered him up the Temporalities
on the ad of March following (9). He was born in the City of Bere:
fold, and was made Biſhop of that See September the 26th, 1317.
which he got the ſame Way that he did this of Tozceſter ; for not-
withſtanding the King had wrote to the Pope in behalf of Thomas de
Cherleton, Doctor of Civil Law, who had many Relations in Herefordſljire
able to aid the King in his Wars againſt the Wleich, and had wrote to
him himſelf, commanding him, as he valued the publick Peace of his
Kingdom, not to accept of it, if offered to him, and to all the Cardi-
nals, if poſſible, to hinder it; yet he minded it not, but relying upon the
Pope's Authority he accepted of it, and gained his Point (r). After-
wards he joined with the Duke of Lancaſter in Rebellion againſt the

Subdeacons 100, Deacons 47, Presbyters 51, in all 419 (d). On the
19th of December 1332, with Leave of the Biſhop of Paris, he or-
dained in the Chapel of his own hired Houſe there. And in the firſt
Week in Lent following, with Leave of the Vicars General of Peter
Biſhop of Soiſſons, he ordained in the Conventual Church of the little
Siſters de Nogent Artaud (e). When Queen Iſabel came into England,
he heartily joined with her and her Followers in their Rebellion, and
preached againſt the King at Dtfożd. When Priſoner at tereſod, he
went and demanded of him his Broad Seal, and was too much con-
cerned in his Murther, by privately conveying Orders to his Keepers,
and with them this Line, Edwardum occidere nolite timere bonum eſt;
which, being differently pointed, bears a different Meaning: for if
ſet the Comma between nolite and timere, it forbideth ; if between ti-
mere and bonum, it exhorteth to do it ; and they knowing his Meaning
too well executed it with the utmoſt Barbarity. After this with his
uſual Inſolence he treated the Son as he had done his Father; for with-
out his Knowledge, he got the Pope by his Authority to tranſlate him
from this See to that of Wincheſter, which he did December the iſt,
1333
This provoked the King to that Degree, that he cauſed him
publickly to be libelled againſt in the Pope's Court, as a Man infamous
for many Crimes, and moſt unworthy of being promoted to ſuch a
Dignity. His Accuſation conſiſted of three Articles : 1. That be cauſed
Robert Baldock, Clerk, to be apprehended and impriſoned, where he died.
He was King Edward the Ild's Chancellor, and taken and brought to
Herefozd with him, and, being a Clergyman, was delivered into this
Biſhop's Hands, who ſoon after took him to London, and entring the
City, with
his Connivance, ſeveral Perſons fell upon him, terribly abu-
ſed him, hurried him away to Newgate, where he ſoon died of the
Blows he received. In his Anſwer to this, he paſſes over his being
beaten and abuſed, only ſays he died a natural Death in Priſon.

but laid, that it was neceſſary by reaſon of King Edward's Cruelty,
which he much aggravates; ſaying, that there was Cauſe to fear ill
Treatment, even after the Death of Hugh Le Diſpenſer. Theſe An-

before him of all our Engliſh Biſhops were tranſlated from a ſecond to
a third Biſhoprick, which gave Occafion for theſe Verſes to be made on

by another Büll dated on the 15th of the fame Month; he gave him Power
to be conſecrated by what CatholiekBiſhop he pleaſed, and that Biſhop
to take his Oath of Canonical Obedience direaly to the See of Rome, and
not to the Archbiſhop of Canterbury; but this not to prejudice for the
future the Right of that Metropolitical See (i). Accordingly he was con-
ſecrated at Came on the 8th Ides of May, by the Biſhop of Lincoln,
aſſiſted by the Biſhops of Bath and Sarum, who took his Oath of Fide-
lity and Obedience to his Holineſs, and to the Church of Rome, of all
which he ſent him a particular Account, dated from Crokham, the 4th
Nones of Auguſt 1334 (k). He was Archdeacon of Canterbury, and the
Pope's Chaplain, in Subdeacon's Orders, and commended by him for a
learned Man of elegant Morals,, of fair Honeſty, of bright Chaſtity,
provident in Spirituals, and circumſpect in Temporals. During his
fitting in this See, the confirmed the Ordination of a Chantry in the
Chapel of Chelneſcote by Thomas de Pakynton of Bayles, January the
4th 1334 (1) : and on the 6th Ides of February following, he confirmed
the Appropriation of the Church of Longdon to the Abbot and: Coni-
vent of Weſtminſter, and ordained the Vicaridge there (m). In 1335,
he viſited his whole Dioceſe, and publickly preached in many Places (n).
In 1336, May the 22d, he reſtored to his Prior and Convent the
Manor of Croule, which had been formerly taken from them, and
was then held of him in Capite , Ifor which they made him Partaker
of all their Prayers, and ordered that the Day of his Death ſhould be

Thanks for the great Favour they had done him, and for the good
Opinion they had of him, when they had ſo many more learned
Members of their own, and much better and fitter to be preferred be-

he ſaid the uſual Prayers, and that Evening and the next Day he magnifi-
cently treated him at his own Expence (s). The Occaſion of this Viſita-
tion was the increaſe of the Lollards, and the ſpreading of the Doctrines
of Wicliff; againſt whom on the firſt of Auguſt 1387, our Biſhop fent
out a ſtrie Mandate, injoining all his Clergy not to ſuffer any
of them
to preach in his Dioceſe, and particularly by Name, N. Hereford,
J. Afhton, 7. Perney, y. Parker, and Robert Swynderby, and forbidding
all the Laity upon Pain of the Cenſures of the Church to go to hear
them, or give them the leaſt Incouragement. He had a Controverſy
with his Prior John Green about the Uſe of the Mitre, Ring, Gloves,
Paſtoral Staff
, Tunick, and Dalmatick; which Epiſcopal Ornaments had
been firſt granted by Pope Clement VI. on January the 8th 1350-1, to
Prior John de Eveſham, and confirmed by Urban V. in 1363, but now
inlarged by Pope Boniface, which the Biſhop would not allow of. The
Archbiſhop intervening and exhorting the Prior to ſubmir, it was thus
ended on the 13th of November 1391. That the Prior might wear in
his Preſence his Mitre fringed with Gold, but without Gems and pre-
cious Stones, as alſo his Ring, but no Paſtoral Staff. In his abſence,
the Biſhop did allow that for the Honour of God, and the bleſſed Kir-
gin Mary, and the Church of Wioxcetter, he might wear his Mitre
adorned with precious Stones, his Ring, his Gloves, his Tunick, his Dal-
matick, and give his Bleffing at Maſs and at Table. And that he might
carry
his Paſtoral Staff; upon condition that it ſhould be much ſhorter
than his, painted with only two Colours white and blue, without
any
gold Colour, or ſet with any Gems or Pearls (t). One thing more I
find he did, that whereas his Predeceſſors had ſeveral Privileges grant-
ed them in their Wood at Fladbury, and the affart Lands within the
Foreſt of Feckenham, but had been frequently diſturbed in the ſame,
he got thein again confirmed by King Richard II. on February the 14th,

In the Beginning of October, he was conſecrated by Thomas Arundell
Archbiſhop of Canterbury, who delivered the Spiritualities to him on
the sth ar Tornam in the Dioceſe of London (m). And from hence it
appears that Bale's Story of William de Badely, a Carmelite Friar,
Confeffor to John of Gaunt Duke of Lancafler, being choſen Biſhop of
this See is falſe (n). In the beginning of the Year 1402, he fummoned
his Clergy of the Archdeaconry.of Worceſter to meet him in his Ca-
thedral Church on the Day after the Feaſt of St. John Baptift, and the
Clergy of 7 the Archdeaconty of Glouceſter, to attend on him in the
Church of St. Mary before the Abbey Gate there, on Friday, the Day
after the Feast of St Peter and Paul, in order to treat with them about
urgent and neceffary Affairs (0) ; but before the Time came, he was
fego away by the King ro Øermany, to treat with the Emperor about a
Marriage between his Son and Lady Blanch the King's eldeſt Daugh-
ter (P), and perceiving that he could not return back time enough to
ineet his Clergy at the Times appointed, at Ipſwich, June the sth, he

fome Rencs lying near Clerkenwell, for the maintaining there two
Scholars born in the Dioceſe of Wlozceiler. Afterwards he became
Rector of Weſton Subege near Campden, Archdeacon of Glouceſter, and
Prebendary of Lincoln and Litchfield (i), Warden of the Collegiare

212 SAT An Account of the hara
and his Anſwer to them, you may ſee in Strype's 25th Chapter of his
Hiſtory of the Reformation, V. 1. where among other Matters, he
charged him with neglect of Duty. His Anſwer was, That he could
fafely ſay, that there had not fix Days paſt fince he came to Clonceller
but he had frequented Common Prayer either in his own Chapel or
Family, or in Churches abroad in his Dioceſe, or elſewhere, and thoſe
fix Days confined by Sickneſs in his Chamber ; moreover, that neither
Sunday nor Holyday, ſaving two only, but what he preached once, if
not twice, beſides his Viſitation and Workday Sermons. He charged
him with Looſeneſs of Morals ; but what was his Anſwer ? “My Life
“ hath never been impeached nor blotted fince I was born ; how I have
« lived from my Youth I have good Teſtimony ſince I was twelve Years
“ of Age ;” and for this he appealed to ſeveral great Men with whom he
had been educated, and who well knew his Converſation. “For my Life
beyond the Seas, he ſaid, I pray your Honours that it may be teſtified
by my Lords of London, Salisbury, Sir Anthony Coke, and Sir Thomas
“Wroth; and ſince my coming Home, I report me to the World.” He
further accuſed him of Coverouſneſs : His Anſwer was, that he was
never charged before with this Crime, for it is a Sin, ſaid he, of all
others far from me, for my greedy getting is ſuch, that I am indebted
a great Sum. But did he not alienate a good Part of the Revenues of
this Church? it has been ſo ſaid, but without any ground of Truth,
as I can find. In the firſt Year of Queen Elizabeth, on April 5, 1559,
an Ad of Parliament paſſed, empowering the Queen upon the Avoid-
ance of any Archbiſhoprick or Biſhoprick, to cauſe the ſame to be
furveyed, and to reſume the Temporal Poſſeſſions into her own
Hands(5), recompenſing the Value of them with Parſonages impropriate;
by Virtue of which Ac, upon Pates's Deprivation, this Biſhoprick
was furveyed, and the Queen took into her own Hands the Manors of

Do Recompence for the fame with Titbes impropriate, as the ſhould
have done. This was before Sandys was made Biſhop, and he had
no hand in the doing of it; for the Temporalities were not delivered
to him till March the 23d, in the ſecond Year of the Queen's Reign
He was ſo far from alienating a good Part of the Revenues of his Church,
chat by his Intereſt with the Queen, he prevailed upon her in the fourth
Year of her Reign, to give a Recompence for the Lands ſhe had taken
away, which was the Impropriation of Biſhampton, formerly belonging
to the Priory of Cookhill, and the Impropriation of Church Lench and
Elmely, together with the Tenths of the Biſkoprick and Archdeaconry of
CHoxeller. What his Senſe of ſuch Doings was, may be learnt from the
Orders he drew up, to be obſerved by the Biſhops and other Ecclefiaftical
Perſons, by their Conſents and Subſcriptions, in the Synod in 1562; the
firſt of which runs thus, " Foraſmuch as Biſhops are not born for
" themſelves, but for their Succeſſors, and are only Poffeſſors for their
own Time, every Biſhop by the Subſcription of his Hand promiſeth
that he hall not either by Leale, Grant, or any other Means, Jer,
* fet, or alienate any of his Manors, or whatſoever heretofore hath
not been in Leaſe, except only for his own Time, and while he is
Biſhop." And that he ſtriatly obſerved this Order himſelf, and four-
ly defended the Patrimony of the Church of Paak, is evident from
what Strype tells us in his Life of Archbiſhop Whitgift (i), where he

“ Deo Sacratam intactum defendit ; the Church's Patrimony, as became a
" Tbing folemnly given to God, he defended as inviolable (1) ”. And another
Author tells us, that departing this Life in the Year 1988, he left be-
hind him an admirable Character for Learning, Probity, and other
Chriſtian Virtues, which drew a Blefing on his Poſterity, three of bis Sons
being knighted, and adorned with all Felicities of Body and Mind (m).
And, to the fame Purpoſe, Fuller, in his Abel Redivivus, hath theſe
Words, « A Man of whom it is hard to be faid whether more famous
" for his fingular Virtues and Learning, or for his noble Parentage and
“ Offspring which he left behind him; for he left many Children, of
“ which three were Knights, and excellent well qualified Gentlemen
“ either for Body or Mind ; but his Son Sir Edwin Sandys proved the
“ learneder, and more famous and dear to his Country. There is a
“ Book of famous Sermons extant in Print of this Prelate's, which is
“ counted a worthy Piece, and doth ſufficiently declare his Piety and
Scholarſhip to ſucceeding Ages.

thop's Vicar General. When Queen Mary came to the Crown, he
abſconded, and one Ihomas Marſhal was put into his Place (). In his
Retirement, he ſtudied Divinity, wherein he obtained a conſiderable
Knowledge ; but when Queen Elizabeth fucceeded, he was made Doctor
of his Faculty at Cambridge, was a Judge Ecclefiaftical in the Arch-
biſhop's Court of Canterbury, and at length was promoted to the E-
piſcopal See of Lincoln ; to which being elected after the Deprivation
of Dr. Thomas Watſon, he was confecrated thereto on January 21, 1559,
and on the 18th of April following, the Temporalities were reſtored
to him. In 1556, he was incorporated Doctor as he had ſtood at Cam.

Manors, I can find nothing of it, and they both remain in the
Hands of the Biſhop to this Day. Ifaacfon, in his Chronology, ſays,
That his Succeſſor Whitgift, by Friends, Labour, and 300l. recovered
the Corn of Hallow and Grimley, alienated from the See, but by whom
he ſays not. This Reverend Prelate died April the 18th, 1576, and
lies buried on the North Side of the High Alcar, where there is a Mo-
nument erected for him with his Effigies in a Cumbent Poſture, and his
Epitaph above it, which you may ſee in the Survey of the Cathedral
Church, Page 41.
John WHITGIFT, D. D. his Succeſſor was nominated to this
See on March the 24th, 1576, and Licence granted to the Dean and
Chapter to Elect him, on April the 25th, 1577, by the Queen then at
Oozbambury (x); but it muſt be before this, if Strype ſays true, that
his Election was confirmed on April the 16th, and that on Sunday fol-
lowing, April 21, he was conſecrated by the Archbiſhop at Lambeth,
Yohn Biſhop of London, Robert of Wincheſter, and Richard of Chis
chelter affifting; and, in order to the making his Epiſcopal Seal for
ſigning of his publick Inſtruments, Sir Gilbert Dethick, then Gar-
ter King at Arms, granted him a Patent for bearing Or on a Croſs
Fleurete Azure, four Befants (y). He was inthronized by Proxy on
May the sch, Henry Beadle A.M. Prebendary, repreſenting him (z).
The Temporalities were delivered to him May the 10th (a). He was
of the Family of the Wbitgifts of Whitgift in Yorkſhire, born at
Grimsby in Lincolnſhire, A. D. 1530, and went to St. Anthony's School
in London, afterwards to Pembroke Hall in Cambridge, and was put
under the Tuition of the Bleſſed Martyr John Bradford; from thence
was choſen Fellow of Peter Houſe, and ſucceeded Mathew Hutton in the

the Popiſh Prelates foreſeeing wh.
removed him to the Maſterſhip of Trinity College, and made him her
Chaplain. He was before Chaplain to Dr. Cox Biſhop of Ely, who
gave him the Parſonage of Teverſham near Cambridge, and a Prebend
in his own Church of Ely; beſides which, he had another in the
Church of Lincoln. He was made Maſter of Trinity College July the
4th, 1567, Dean of Lincoln Auguſt the 2d, 1571, and removed to this
See 1577, as aforeſaid (b), where he ſate till the 23d of September 1583 (c).
It is ſaid, that at his firſt coming to this Biſhopick, he found it much
impaired by long Leaſes of divers Manors, Parks, and Houſes,
granted by his Predeceſſors; but that which much troubled him, and
wherein he moſt of all ſtirred, was the Letting to Mr. Abingdon, Cofferer
to the late Queen, the Rent Corn of his two beſt Manors Hallow and
Grimley, which through the Interceſſion of his Friends at Court, and
the Payment of 300 l. he regained to his See (d). Which of his Pre-
deceffors it was that granted this Leafe, I cannot find in the Search that
I have made ; but have ſome Reaſon to believe that it was not done by
Sandys or Bullingham, but by Pates; for Strype tells us, in his Hiſtory of
the Reformation, V. I. p. 158, 159. that the Revenues and Incomes of
the Church had been ſo ſtript before the Deprivation of Queen Mary's
Biſhops, that their Succeſſors had little or nothing to live upon,
their Lands, Houſes, and Parks fo few, and fo reduced, as they had
ſcarce enough to keep them out of Debt, and to maintain that Ho-
ſpitality that was looked for at their Hands. 'Tis true, ſays he, ſome
of their Lands and Parks were exchanged againſt their Wills by
Virtue of an Act of Parliament in the ift of Elizabeth; but for the
Patents, and Annuities, conveyed them away for as long a Time as the
Law would then allow them, that their Proteſtant Succeffors might
not enjoy them. But not to digreſs, whilſt he fat in this See he was

neighbouring Pariſh Church, notwithſtanding his important and in-
ceffant Employments otherwiſe (e), and delighting to entertain and
converſe with the Gentlemen of this Dioceſe, and making up the
Breaches that happened to be made in their Friendſhips. One remark-
able Inſtance is given us of his making up a deadly Quarrel between
Sir John Ruſſel, and Sir Henry Berkeley, who camé armed to a Sef-
ſions in Wlozceſter with many Friends and Followers, and great Blood-
Thed was like to have enſued, but the Biſhop wiſely prevented it by
providing a ſtrong Watch at the Gates, and requiring them to bring
both Parties, with their Attendants, well guarded to his Palace ;
where he cauſed them all, to the Number of four or five Hundred, to
deliver their Weapons into his own Servants Cuftody, and after two
Hours Pains taken, ſometimes in perſuading, and otherwhiles in threat-
ning them, he made them ſo good friends, as they both attended him
Hand in Hand to the Town Hall, and there performed the Service of
their Country, in perfect Amity, and without any Diſturbance (f).
The Year after his Conſecration to this Biſhoprick, the Queen made
him Vice Preſident of the Marches of Wales, (Sir Henry Sidney, his
very
honourable Friend, being then Lord Preſident, and at that Time
Lord Deputy of Ireland) in which Poft he behaved himſelf with
great Honour and Integrity (8). Her Majeſty alſo out of her Expe-
rience of his wife and prudent Government, was pleaſed to grant a
Commiſſion to him alone to viſit the two Cathedral Churches of
Litchfield and þereford, Complaint having been made unto her of ma-
ny Diſcords and Diſorders that were therein, upon account of their
Diflike of the Habits, and fome other Rires ; which accordingly he
did, and reformed them both, being very far out of Order (b). She

fi anteceſſores noftri dignitatem eccleſiarum interdum fore per-
ſpexerunt terrenarum opulentia rerum, tamque authoritatis
robur habere, quanta fulciebatur copia divitiarum, digne
tenuitatem ecclefafticam larga amplificare ftuduerunt manu,

APPENDIX
Anglia direpta eft et diſciſla invaſione Danorum, et cum cæteris orna .
mentis ecclefiarum prædictæ civitatis, illud papæ Formoſi privilegium con-
ftat eſſe incenſum. Hic autem chariſſimus noſter Ealdadus epiſcopii curam
fuſcipiens, ejuſdemque ecclefiæ jura requirens, et fciens à beato papa Nicho-
lao Romæ pallio donatus, ad nos ſuper ecclefiæ ſibi commiſſæ dignitate,
apoſtolica fcripta fignata detulit, quibus cum fua fidelitate commoniti, juf-
tam petitionem papæ et ſuam nolumus refutare, quod abfit, præfertim cum
fuper eadem re apoſtolicum preſentavit privilegium. Donavimus igitur, con-
filio Reginæ meæ et aliorum fidelium, ei, ejuſque poſteris, ordinationem
Wireceftriæ epiſcopatus, cum noftro tamen diſponendam confilio, quatenus in
exequendo epiſcopali cura eo fpecialius utatur vicario, utque à beato papa
Nicholao in ejus fcriptum habetur privilegio. Quod fi quis ex regibus pofteris
noftris infringere temptaverit, iram Dei incurrat, et fit anathema, ſecun-
dum fupradictum apoſtoli decretum, nifi reſipiſcat. Ut autem hoc meæ de-
ſcriptionis privilegium perpetuo inviolatum ſervetur, manus noſtræ fignum
ſigillique auctoritas ſubter inſignitur : item reginæ uxoris meæ teſtimonio
munitur, epiſcoporum quoque interminatio cum fingulorum nomine et cha-
ractere exprimitur, abbatum et principum regni noſtri conteſtificatione fulci-
tur. Ego Edwardus Dei gratia Anglorum rex, hoc fcriptum confirmavi.
Ego Editha Dei pietate Anglorum regina, juffu domini mei regis volunta-
rie huic deſcriptioni faveo. Ego Stigandus archiepiſcopus ſubſcribo. Ego

qualiter fe habere debeant in victu et geftu taliter ordinamus ; videlicet,
quod omnes fcolas exerceant, fimul comedant, et in una domo fimul dor-

curie Romane.
Sancto
Ancto ac venerando in Chriſto patri domino fuo domino G. Dei gra-
tia Wygorn. epiſcopo, fuus ubique devotus Johannes de Butterleye
debitum famulatum cum omni reverentia pariter et honore. Die Veneris
proxima poft feftum Nativitatis beate Marie ad curiam Romanam Tibure
tunc exiftentem acceſſi, et literas veſtras domino .... Cardinali Anglico,
ac magiſtro Berard de Niapol. directas preſentavi eiſdem, qui eas reveren-
ter admiſerunt, promittentes fe ea, que in eis continebantur, pro viribus
procurare. De magiſtro Berardo de Niapol. reſponfum habui, quod petitionem
ſuper eccleſia de Clyve domino Pape nuper legit, et quod eam conceſſe-
rat, ut credit. Sed quia non erat quis, qui expeditionem ipfius tunc pro-
ſequeretur, idem dominus Berrard nec petitionem hujuſmodi, nec reſpon-
fionem domini pape ad eam potuit invenire ; aſſeruit etiam, quod do-
minus papa de hujus conceſſione nullatenus recordatur, fed promiſit fe pro-
moturum petitionem, quam ſibi dedi ſuper hujus facto tempore oportuno.
Ceterum literas veſtras una cum literis Mercatorum de recipiendis centum et
quinque libris, et cum quibuſdam veſtris petitionibus, non per puerum ve-
ſtrum, qui apud Malynes, ut dicebatur, infirmus remanfit ; fed per quendam
alium recepi iii. die Octobris affectione devota; et quia in ipſis literis mihi
precepiftis, ut vobis reſcriberem quanta pecunia ad expedienda veftra negotia
indigerem, et etiam que petitiones crederem expediri poffe, ex infrafcriptis e-
licere poteritis, ut eftimo, veritatem. Procurato mihi ingreſſu ad papam hora
valde congrua, cauſas propter quas ſedes epiſcopalis Wygorn. ere alieno one-
ratur, tam de mortalitate pecorum, ſterilitate agrorum de concurſu exercitu-
um, &c. quam de reparatione maneriorum, et alias, ſibi expofui feriatim viva
voce, petens ut hujus expreſſionibus miſericorditer ſubveniret, ac demum lec-
ta eidem petitione fuper eccleſia de Clyve, et intellecta, dixit fe nolle deliberare
fuper ea. Poftea vero, magifter Berard de Niapol. et ego conſiderato, quod
hujuſmodi deliberato remedio indigebat, tractavimus cum magiſtro Berard, ip-
fius domini pape ſecretario, eidem ducentas libras ſterlingorum camere do.
mini pape folvendas promittentes, priuſquam nos voluit exaudire, folvendas
poſtquam dicta petitio feliciter fuerit expedita ; et eidem promifimus quadra-
ginta marcas pro fuo labore : unde ex fua promiffione, qui talia poteſt, et
fine quo nulla ardua expediuntur, ad preſens firmam ſpem et certam habeo,
quod illa petitio de Clyve, faltem ad vitam veftram, quam Deus conſervet in
proſperitate votiva, cum in alia forma ſpes non erat, et illa quod vos pofletis
auctoritate apoſtolica duabus perfonis ydoneis concedere officium tabelliona-
tus, nec non illa quod tractatibus canonicorum eccleſie de Weſtbury in
choro et capitulo poteritis intereſſe, per Dei gratiam expedientur ad votum,
excepto de prebenda retinenda in eadem, de cujus expeditione dubito ve-
hementer. Ifta credo poffe expedire ad minus, fi pecunia non defue-

rit in hac parte. Et certe licet dominus papa, quoad diſpenſationem fu-
per pluralitate beneficiorum dicatur gratiofus, inauditum eſt, quod ipfe un-
quam aliquam ecclefiam in proprios uſus prius concefferat, preter unam.
Dominum Berrard de Niapol. fupradictum, qui circa iſtud negotium non
ceffat laborare, oportet refracere larga manu, 'ille enim circa fada noftra
diligentiam adhibet juxta poſſe. De petitione contra non reſidentes, quam
mihi miſiſti, nichil eft adhuc actum; proponam illam tempore oportu-
Iftas expenfas facere oportet, preter alias, que minoribus officialibus
dabuntur per quorum manus litere tranſibunt. Unde ad minus centum
er fexaginta libras, immo omnimodo ducentas, fi poteftis, pet literas Mer-
catorum, fi placet, celeriter deſtinetis. Ita quod ad tardius dicta
pecunia
fit ad me in curia infra tres feptimanas poft diem fefti Nativitatis Domi-
ni. Perſone enim fupradicte credunt pro certo me pecuniam predictam
in manibus habere promptam folvendam eiſdem, quam cito dicta negotia
fuerint expedita, et fi contrarium, immineatur periculum non modicum
negotiis veſtris, et etiam mihi poterit imminere.
Sciat veftra paterni-
tas, quod per literas ipforum, qui aliquam magnam fummam pecunie ve
ſtre per me receperint, vel per libros Mercatoruñ, aut per manum publi-
cam de folutione pecunie veftre, de quibus et quantum quis acceperit,
conftabit vobis evidenter. Confimiles literas vobis mitto per alium nunti-
um, ne forte iftas caſu fortuito perire contingat. Valeat et vigeat veſtra
paternitas profperis incrementis. Dat' Rome xii. die S. Pr. 1286. Poft

que de noſtro patronatu exiftunt, nobis liceat in dicta eccleſia de Weſtbury
facere prebendales ; ac quartam, quod omnes fructus primi anni omnium
ecclefiarum vacantium in noftra dioceſi integraliter percipere valeamus, cum

Non enim intendimus occafione premiffa tanto debitorum
cumulo nos et noftram eccleſiam Wygorn. gravari ad preſens, à quo non
poſſumus de facili, ut videtur, pro noftrorum dierum fpatio relevari. Quod
fi di&a curia in noftris petitionibus premiſſis, feu tribus duabufve earum, vel

tiam à dicto W. prætextu hujus litis contractis, premiſſa taxatione præ-
miſſorum et dicti W. facramento obſecuto, ftatuerunt, quod conventus
Wigorn, vel eorum prior, ipfi, pro expenſis illis centum marcas perſol-
vat, ita ut in feſto Natalis Domini proxime venturo percipiet viginti
quinque marcas, et in Paſcha ſequenti alias viginti quinque, et in feſto Nata-
lis beati Joannis Baptiſte viginti quinque marcas et reſiduas viginti
quinque marcas in ſequenti feſto beati Michaelis. De monachis etiam,
qui faverant dicto epiſcopo, vel memorato W. providerunt, quod ipſi ad
conventum in bona pace et gratia revertantur ; ita quod, ad invicem
omni injuria fepulta, et rancore ſemoto, ſe fraterna caritate pertractent.
Ordinarunt etiam, quod hac vice nullum habeant priorem de domo fua,
ſed dictus dominus Wigorn. de extraneis monachum aliquem, quem ſe-
cundum conſcientiam fuam idoneum reputaverit, excepto dicto W. jarn
amoto, eis hac vice præficiat in priorem. De cætero autem, vacante prio-
ratu, fic providerunt ordinationem faciendam, ut conventus ſeptem mona-
chos, quos voluerit de gremio fuo (injunctum eſt tamen ut de melioribus
hoc faciat) epifcopo fuo præfentet ; qui neceſſe habebit unum ex illis
feptem, quem voluerit, illis præficere in priorem, quem quidem epiſcopus
Wigorn. non poterit amovere, nec alium priorem deinceps, niſi ex certa
cauſa, ficut prædeceffores fui facere conſueverunt. Circa cuſtodiam autem
prioratus vacantis ordinatum eft fub hac forma : * Ut dominus epifcopus
Wigorn. vacante prioratu, eccleſias ad præſentationem prioris et conven-
tus fpectantes, quas interim vacare contigerit, libere conferat perfonis idoneis.
Cuftodias etiam, eſchaetas, nec non et maritagia libere tenentium etiam
conferat, fi acciderint hi cafus, prioratu vacante, toto reſiduo, tam in
capite prioratus et maneriis eorum, quam in ecclefiis, quas habent in ufu
proprio, nec non in aliis beneficiis ſeu redditibus, ad folius conventus cu-
ſtodiam permanente ; nec per collationem ecclefiarum, cuſtodiarum, eſchae-
tarum, maritagiorum, quæ fiet ab epifcopo, prioratu vacante, aliquid con-
ventui vel priori præjudicium generetur, quin priore eis ordinato, ad ipfos

terur, vacaverint, vel acciderint, prioratu non vacante. Propter præmiſſa
vero, non differatur ordinatio prioris, vel protrahatur, fed quanto commo-
dius fieri poterit, vacante prioratu, deſtinabit conventus ad epifcopum
fuum, ubicunque fuerit in Anglia, aliquos de gremio ſuo, qui ei feptem

tent ; ut fic ordinatio fine difficultate procedat. Si vero epiſcopus exi-

qui unum de ſeptem nominatis à conventu eis priorem præficiat vice
ſua : five jam prioratu vacante, ipſe regnum egredi ftatuerit, live, eo a-
gente extra regnum, contigerit prioratum vacare, ut undique providea-
tur eccleſiæ, ne per abſentiam epiſcpi priore remaneat defolata. Et ſi

tis, vel maritagiis, conferatur, fed illa vacatione pertineant ad folum con.

De proventibus autem tumbæ et feretrorum beati Wolſtani ita ftatuerunt;
ut medietas eorum, de cetero, fpectet ad epiſcopum, medietas ad conventum,
et ad cuftodiam illam epiſcopus pro parte ſua, et conventus pro parte ſua,
quos voluerint cuſtodes, honeftos clericos vel monachos deputabit. Circa in-
greffum vero epiſcopi, ſive modum ingrediendi capitulum, ita providerunt ; ut
cum voluerit epiſcopus capitulum eorum intrare, præmuniat conventum, utrum
tractare velit de ſpiritualibus, ſeu ordinem tangentibus, vel potius de tempo-
ralibus ; et ſi veniat de ſpiritualibus, feu ordinem tangentibus tractaturus, ſolus,
fine clericis, moretur dum tractaverit de premiſlis ; five vero tractaturus veni-
at de temporalibus, libere cum clericis fuis fæcularibus capitulum ingrediatur.
Sed fi inciderit aliquid tra&andum de ſpiritualibus, feu ordinem tangentibus,
ftatim clerici fæculares fine difficultate recedent, epiſcopo ſolo interim, fine
clericis ſuis, remanente. Provifum eft etiam, quod omnes penſiones vel reddi-
tus, ſeu beneficia, quæ confueverunt prior et conventus percipere in eccleſiis
dioceſis Wigorn. et de novo funt retenta, ipſis ſtatim, et ſine difficultate reſti-
tuantur; et epiſcopus eis penſiones, ſeu redditus, nomine perpetui beneficii
confirmabit. Omnia autem alia debita, exceptis præmiſfis, dampna etiam et
expenfa, et alia hinc inde petita, ordinarunt dicti proviſores ad invicem re-
mittenda, et quod dominus epifcopus omnem cum fuis eis offenſam, ranco-
rem, et indignationem remittat, ipſos ad pacis ofculum benignius admittendo;
et quod ipſi et alii monachi, qui fuerant domino epiſcopo, vel memorato W.
una cum eodem W. ad invicem fibi rancorem et indignationem remittant, pacis
oſculo mediante, quod et factum eſt ibidem in preſentia proviſorum.
Si vero

auctoritate illius fuerit reconciliata, libere eam reconciliet, dum tamen fine

juramenti, ut in fingulis capitulis fideliter ordinationem præmiffam obſervent.
Statuentes nichilominus, ipfam futuris temporibus ab epiſcopis et monachis

vocari, vel quod canonicorum amicitie nos incuryent, vel terreant homi-

diſworſhipp of the Church, and Slaunder to the Religion of the bleſſed
Patrone thereof Saynt. Bennet, and many other innumerable bleſſed Con-
feſſors of the fame, the myſlyvyng and diffolute
myflyvyng and diſſolute governaunce of the
Bretheryn that hath byn inhabite

on not obſerved ne kept, but rather the ſeide Bretheryn yn all their de
meanaunce hath byn vagabunde, and lyved lyck Laymen, to the perni-
cious Example of all Criſten Men. And therefore it is a grete preſump-
cion that the grete ruyne of the Church and place, the decay of the
lyvelode, and the grete poverty that the ſeid place hath be now late
yn, was, that Godd withdrew his grace and benyfytes, and for the myf-
gyding thereof was not pleaſed. And foraſmoche as now by his Grace
and Mercy I have bylded your Church, your place of your_logyng is
fufficient repareid, and, as I ſuppoſe, a grete part of the Dett“ of the
