Page 329, C. I. Dominica prima hujus menfis (Octobris) cum appropinquaverit tempus horas tertise, pulsetur a secretario modice signum minimum quam Skillam vocant, et statim pergant (a clauslro) in dormitorium, et calcient se diurnalibus, et cultellos accipiant; deinde ad Lavatorium veniant, et prius lavent se, et postea pectinent, deinde ad ecclesiam veniant, aquam benedictam sumant, in chorum vadant.

Page 329, c. 2. Quarta et sexta seria, cum tempus processionis secretarius in stare prospexerit, sonet unum de mediocribus signis, quo audito, statim silentium siat in claustro—discalcient se, manus abluant, in ecclesiam vadant.

Page 331, c. I. In nocte dominicae Nativitatis omnia figna primum pulsentur. In tertio nocturnio–tunc fratres qui ad missam induendi sunt vadant ad locum constitutum, ubi sit optimus ignis a samulis camerariis praeparatus: baccilia quo-cue et manutcrgiaet aqua calida adabluendas manus. Hac fola vice antequam lavent, peftent capita sua. Alio enim tempore, prius lavent, postea pectinant. Post haec pergant in ecclefiam, et fasla oratione incluant se ad celebrandam missam: facerdos honorisice, levita, dalmatica, duo subdiaconi tunicis.

Page 332, c. 2. Apparente luce—signo audito, expedite surgentes omnes, et ab-luti manus et sacies, qui ad missam indnendi sunt vadant in oratorium, factaque oratione induantur, ficut ad priorem missam—expleta missa vadant in dormitorium calciare se, postea folito moreloti, et pexi saciant in oratorio orationes ties folitas; dista tertia, omnes induti cappis processionem saciant.

Page 333, cap. 1. In his duabus feriis (Dominica prima quadragessimæ quarta et sexta) post nonam fedeant in claustro—tunc discalcient se omnes et lavent manus, veniantque in chorum.

P. 334, c. 2. Dominica in Palmis ad invitatorium duo in albis—post matutinalem missam benedicatur aqua, ad quam sint omnes albis induti, fiat processio, &c. Post mensam in meridiana hora in leftis suis quiescant. Appropinquante horâ nonâ pulset secretarius lignum minus modice. Tune omnes et lavent manus et facies, et peclent fe, et pergant in ecclefiam, sedeantque in choro. Cum insantes loti suerint etad tersoria ire cœprint, pulsante majus lignum secretario, surgant-omnes de sedilibus et ingressis chorum insantibus sacient prius orationem, poilea cantent nonam.

P. 340, c. 2. Diebus Rogatiomim—cantata sexta vadant in dormitorium, sicut alio tempore quando meridianis horis in ledis quiescere solent, et sasto inter-Vallo parvisiimo, puisetur Ikilla; dehinc nudis pédibus de domitorio descendant, manus abluant, ad ecclesiam vadant, orationem saciant.

Page 341, c, 2. Feria secunda (Pentecostes) post sextam agatur meridiana: a qua surgentes nudis pedibus in claustrum veniant asserentes calciamenta sua: post abluti et pestinati veniant in ecclesiam, et facta oratione, pulsatisque duobus signis inchootinsans Exfurgs Domine, etcetera. Sicut longe fuperius diftum est, hic ordo fervandus est seria quarta et sexta ufque ad sestivitatem Omnium Sanctorum, nifi sit vigilia, cujus missa solennius celebretur, tune enim proceffio ex to to dimittitur.

Post sextam in dormitorium cadant, et post parvissimum interallum pulsato minimo signo descendant, lavent, ad monasterium pergant, sactaque oratione, dictaque litania, missam celebrent.

In Elomeiield's History of Norfolk, v. II. p. 440, is this passage.—' At Norwich monastery, the Ceikrar's lodgings were on the South side of the cloister, on which the Refedtory, or common hall, kitchen, cellar, and buttery, were placed by the dormitory, or dortour, all which are now standing, converted to other uses. On the left hand as you go out of the door of the South-west corner of the cloiiler is the lavatory*, or washing place, where the monks washed their hands there being as much good fellowship in walhing as in eating together.

^{page 130 note [n]} It is, perhaps, worthy of remark, on the subject of the word fontes, used, in the plural number, as mentioned by Mr, Denne, that the French, in speaking of the font, do, to this day, use the plural number. They say, for example, “II a été tenu sur les fonts baptismaux.”

I do not pretend to give any reason for this mode of speaking.

^{page 144 note [z]} On examining the Prelates' will, I noticed the underwritten clause concerning this donation.

“Whereas I formerly gave, for the making and remaking of a font in the cathedral church of Christ, in Canterbury, five hundred pounds, I now further give cat unto the same body five hundred pounds to be beltowed in books for the late erected library.” Would five hundred pounds have been adequate to the expence of constructing two fonts to elegant and costly? Bishop Warner's bequest to the library is not mentioned in “Cantuaria Sacra.”

^{page 145 note [a]} In the specimen of the sacrilegious outrages committed in the parish churches of Cambridge, anno Domini 1643, under the church of St. Giles is this note— “ We brake a dove from the high loft of the font, and a bo'y-water font at the porch door.”

^{page 146 note [b]} Most probably the pulpit in the sermon-house, because he sarcastically adds, “where a sermon had not been preached near twenty years before,” being however studious to conceal from his readers, that during those years sermons had been regularly preached in the choir. For reasons mentioned by Mr. Gostling (Walk, p. 198.), it was judged expedient that the practice should be discontinued of the congregation's moving after prayers from the choir to the sermon-house, which before the Reformation had been the chapter-house of the prior and the convent.
