PUBT.TSirED BY THE AUTHGRITT OF HER MAJESTT's TKEASURT. UNDER THE DHIECTION OF THE MASTER OP THE ROLI-S, On tlie 26th of January 1857, the Master of the Rolls suhmitted to the Treasury a proposal for the publication of materials for the History of this Country from the Invasion of the Romans to the Reign of Hemy YIII. The Master of the RoUs suggested that these materials should he selected for publication under competent editors without reference to periodical or chronological arrangement, without mutilation or abridgment, prefer- ence being given, in the first instance, to such materials as were most scarce and valuable. He proposed that each chronicle or historical docu- ment to be edited should be treated in the same way as if the editor were engaged on an Editio Princeps; and for this pm-pose the most correct text should be formed from an accurate collation of the best MS8. To render the work more generally useful, the Master of the Rolls suggested that the editor should give an account of the MSS. employed by him, of their age and their pecuHarities; that he should add to the work a brief account of the hfc and times of the author, and any remarks necessary to explain the chronology; but no otlier note or comment was to be allowed, except what might, be necessary to establish the correctness of the text. a 2 4 The works to be publisliecl in octavo, separately, as they were finished; the whole responsibility of the task resting npon the editors, who were to be chosen by the Master of the Rolls with the sanction of the Treasury. The Lords of Her Majesty's Treasury, after a careful consideration of the subject, expressed their opinion in a Treasury Minute, dated February 9, 1857, that the plan recommended by the Master of the Rolls " was well calculated for the accomplishment of this important national object, in an effectual and satisfactory manner, within a reasonable time, and provided proper attention be paid to economy, in making the detailed arrange- ments, without unnecessary expense." They expressed their approbation of the proposal that each chronicle and historical document should be edited in such a manner as to represent with all possible cor- rectness the text of each writer, derived from a collation of the best MSS., and that no notes should be added, except such as were illustrative of the various readings. They suggested, however, that the preface to each work should contain, in addition to the particulars proposed by the Master of the Eolls, a biographical account of the author, so far as authentic materials existed for that purpose, and an estimate of his Mstorical credibility and value.

This third volume, now presented to the reader, con- Saxon learnii tains some additions to the records of Saxon learning mi^ed. and study as exhibited in the two preceding volumes, showing that om- forefathers, just as we do, made the better knowledge of Kome and Hellas a principal ob- ject of their pursuit. Some may decry the picture thus unveiled to view, as fetching up again the old sages, whose names and writings have been ringing in our ears ever since the days of childhood. They want something deep dyed in heathen lore, full of Thor and Woden and the goddess Hel. These more curious moi-seLs, seasonings of the literary dish, have not been altogether absent before, and there is a savoury sprink- ling of them now. Historic truth, however, offers us no unmingled colours, no whitewashed wall, no grey stucco, as its portraiture of the past, but a varied picture, such as might be drawn of the present day. For as now the general instruction in some Latin poetry and history, some Greek declensions and sentences, tins-es With a foreign complexion the educated classes, and gives them a separate language and different associa- tions from those of the more genuine Englishman; so also in Saxon times, the more inquisitive and leisured men went abroad for increase of knowledge, to the masters of philosophy and science. It ought to be considered no small gain that in the views of the collection now printed we are allowed an insight into ^"^"^ ^"'s'^- the notions and prepossessions upon scientific subjects of the less instructed portion of Saxon society. The unfounded hopes, scruples, and alarms of the ignorant. ignorant by comparison, are justly regarded by tlie wise "with a copious contempt; but tlie ignorant tlius possessed by alarms and scruples are by no means to be contemned ; their terrors, prejudices, and passions axe a power and an embarrassment to the politician, a problem to the historian, a prey to the agitator, a difficulty to the teacher. Saxon mytho- Even the heathenism of the Saxons, even their wild logy based on a uivtholocfy had in it an clement of truth. The greatest true (loctriuc. „ , . , i ^ • f ^ , • i- Woden. of their gods was Woden, Avhose chiet characteristic was his search for wise men everywhere, his encoun- ters of skill with them, and Ids victories in those conflicts. Coming down to a level with the ideas of simple folk, he is i-epresented as solving riddles and hard questions, like a shepherd in Vergilius, or king Solomon in losephus. He rules the universe. His name is etymologically connected with far-spread terms for Wit and Wisdom, He therefore is a corrupted likeness of the Supreme Intelligence. p^i^,,^ Friya is the Saxon Venus, a personification of an instinct wliich seems to pervade The All. Taking her name from Frian, to love, whence we still retain Friend, a lover, she represents the ever active law of com- bination, which the Great XJnslumbering Artificer has given to all elements, that they may never sink into inertness. Thor. TJior is the god of thunder, strikmg with his re- sistless hammer such blows as pass mortal sinew. The liglitning bolt and the thunders roar have ever been powerful to remind the fretful insolence of mannikins that greater than they ho is He who made the world. Tiw was the god of slaughter, who taught the bold overriding forward warrior of the North to follow upon the footsteps of the victor of Babylon and give his severed head a satiety of blood : who with stratagem and retreat baffled the great invasion of Darius; who robbed the Kelt of his fiiir western territories, and armed Hors and Hengist against Britain, The future life was the paradise of the brave : the Valhalln. Christian martyr looked not forward to his heavenly crown with a sincerer feith, than the Saxon, dying in desperate fight, to his endless life in the Hall of Slaughter. And here was at least a virtue encouraged and hoping a reward. Thus did the baptism of blood quahfy for immortality, and religion led to victor}^ Perhaps it was foUy to put any faith in dreams. Dreams. Tlie copying out of dream books does not, however, imply an entire belief in their doctrines, buj; rather an experimental inquisitive spirit. Probably the Saxons wei-e at least not slow to expect some glimpse into the future from these nightly visions. A book is still bouglit and sold and consulted by the less indoctri- nated part of our countrymen, called Mother Shiptons Dream Book, which treats the subject much in the same manner as the Saxon. Upon matters of this kind it is often desirable to inquire what the great freethinkers of the philosopliie age in Greece held and argued; for discussion in that age was hampered so little by institutions and interests, that their views often cast light upon modern questions. Aristoteles ha.s a treatise on Divinations by dreams, in which he does not scoff and mock, as with three words he not rarely cau, at the popular notions, but seems to be balancing his sense of the value of testimony against his foregone conclusions from his fixed opinions. He begins by saying that the choice of refusal of this divination with contempt, or its acceptance as true, is difficult, for that the general persuasion of its value seems the result of experience, but the want of a suffi- cient occasion for such revelation, and its being made to what men soever, and not to the best or wisest, is a reason for distrust. And in this tone he continues. Tliese balanced expressions, indicating no distinct opi- nion, or, indeed, an entire denial of the significance of dreams, were no food for the restless I'eadily alarmed mind of the people. Dream hoolvs. There was, alongside of the sceptic and materialist philosopher, an early doctrine about dreams, and a copious literature. Avtemon, Antiphon, Straton, Philo- choros, Epicharmus, Serapion, Kratippos, Dionysios Rhodios, Hermippos, are named as authors on this sub- ject, and patrons of the common superstition. There were established and frequented dreaming places, as the fanes of Asldepios at Epidauros, of Amphiaraos at Oropos, of Amphilochos at Mallos, of Sarpedon in the Troad, of Trophonios at Lebadea, of Mopsos in Kilikia, of Hermonia in Makedonia, of Pasiphae in Lakonia.' The writings of Hermippos of Berytos filled five volumes. Nowhere was dreaming more rife, nowhere more greedily listened to, than in ludfea, about the Christian era, yet there many of the provocatives to folly had been banished by a pure worship of God. "We may still look through a professed systematic treatise of Judging Dreams in the Oneirokritica of Artemidoros the Ephesian, whose work has been four times printed in the original, and translated into Latin, French, and Italian. Tlie method of composition followed in these Saxon pieces is more like that of Achmet or Apomasar, who pretends to embody the experience of India, Persia, and Ai-abia. Thus, spite of freetliinkers, spite of Moses and the prophets, spite of Gospel and Epistle, couched in the breasts of the people there still lies a strong awe and hope from the fantasms of sleep. Here too the Saxon is a fair parallel to the living Englishman. While his bookish men study theii' Greek and their Latin, their astronomy, cosmogony, and computus, he contents himself with an encylopfedic dream literature, and feeds his fancy instead of loading his head. It is the way of the world. Astrolog}-. The art of foretelling the event of a disease, death or restoration, is a branch of astrology. 'AarfoUyta, astro- logy, is an older name for astronomy, and tlie abuse of ' See TertuUianus de Anima. the study of the stars has been closely connected with its lesfitimate use. Clemens of Alexandria gives some account of the tenets of the astrologers, making the stars indications only of celestial agencies, and attribut- ing to them no power of themselves. By annulling the influence of fate after baptism, he makes astrology more reconcileable with a profession of Christianity.^ St. Augustinus of Hippo tells us he in his youth devoted himself to this divination by the stars, and was recalled from the folly by the advice of one who had pursued it for a profession, and had fathomed the hollowness of it.^ Favorinus'^ denied, and with truth probably, that this science of the Chaldseans was as old as they pretended, and that the founders and authors of it were such as the votaries would have supposed. The early centuries next after the Christian era pro- Books by duced a rank crop of literary forgeries ; not a few of wliich left a progeny of falsehood, which lives even in our days, and secures a band of adlierents given over to believe a lie. Some ingenious scribbler among those forgers constructed his medical book on astronomical principles, giving an account of diseases and their results as depending on-planetary influences, and to secure a better respect for his wares inscribed them with tlie name of Hermes Trismegistos. This great name belonged to the god Buve, who was the author of the Egyptian sacred books. Of them an interesting accoimt is found in Clemens, who by his residence in Alexandria was qualified, and by his lively curiosity and gi-eediness of reading was urged to become acquainted with their contents. The information we receive from him is in itself probable and sufiicient. In the liturgical proces- ' Fragm. 70, 78. He taught a catechetical school at Alexandria, A.D. 188. - ConfcBsioncfl, IV. 0.

What the books sioii; says lie, first advanced, the clianter with two books reallyTeve. ^^'0™' Hermes, one of hymns to the gods, and another of the method of the royal life. After him came the time observer, lie is bound to have ready on his tongue the four books of Hermes of the arrangement of the fixed stars, of the conjunctions and illuminatory powers of the sun and moon, and of their risings. Next came the holy scribe, with wings upon his head, a book in his hands, and a hollow rule, in which is contained the reed for writing and the ink. He must know, what are called hieroglyphics, about the mapping of the universe and the earth, the positions of the sun, moon, ^^nd five planets, the chorography of Egypt and course of the Nile, preparation of holy instruments, and places appropriated to them, and about measures and articles of use in the temples. Then comes the robesman with the cubit of righteousness and the ladle of libation. He must know what are called the educational and sacrificial matters, ten in number, relating to divine ofiices, as sacrifices, firstfruits, hymns, prayers, processions, feasts, and the like. After all these comes the prophet, and behind him those that carry " the outsending of the loaves." The prophet learns by heart the ten hieratic books, about laws and gods and the instruction of the priests. There are then forty two books " necessary to Hermes," thirty six of which embrace the whole philosophy of the Egyp- tians, which the aforesaid learn by heart, and the re- maining six of a medical nature about the treatment of •the body, and diseases, and instruments, and drugs, and the eyes, and womens specialities the carriers of the portable chapels must know. About all this there is a very practical air: a ritual^ without which the public worship would be unduly per- formed, and an instruction for travelling doctors, that 1 The ritual of the dead has heen puhlished and translated. they might cure the ailing. There is no talk of prog- nostics nor horoscopes {jeviOXiuKd.) And indeed one of the antient medical works of the Egyptians has been pub- lished by Brugsch ; nor does it, we say on his authority, contain any such follies. But under the venerated name Forgeries of Hermes were issued books of astronomical forecasts "f Hermes"^™* of diseases, setting forth the evil influence of malignant stars upon the unborn ; telling how the right eye is under the sun, the left under the moon, the hearing under Saturn, the brain under Jupiter, the tongue and throat under Mercury, smelling and tasting under Venus, the parts that have blood under Mars. So that if any of these planets be in a bad aspect at conception or birth, the man will suffer some debility in the correspondino* part of his body. " If a man take to his bed when the " moon is in Aries, Saturn being in opposition, quadrature, " or conjunction with it, especially if the moon is on the " wane, the beginning of the disease will be by a chill; " there will be heaviness of the head and eyes and tonsils, " and mucous runnings about the chest, and sobbings, and " nightly intensifications of the symptoms, inwardly much " heat, with a chiUy surface and cold extremities, and " faintings, and want of appetite and unseasonable perspi- " rations. There are suitable cordials, and laxatives, and " purgatives; but bleeding is of no use. The patient, if no " beneficent planet is in company with, or in opposition " or quadrature, will not get over it, but will die. If, " however, a beneficent planet is in the scope of view,' " after a considerable touch of disease the patient wiU re- " cover, or will out of the one disease drop into another, " and will be subject to nightly dehrium. And if Mars be " in the same position (as was said above of Saturn) the " patient wiU inevitably die, and so till Mars is in oppo- " sition." Among the works attributed to Galenos has been preserved one to the same purpose as that just men- honed. It is intituled, raX-^'vot- Ka-va Kfi<T,u><; ■^foy.c.^riKic « ^cS-^^^K^,; eV.c-rV^^, where " raathematic " means VOT,. TIT. 1 ^.Ifric. IC His friends. " astrological/' It opens with plausible words about inquiries conducted by the Stoics into the nature of life, and tells us that men following the medical art without a knowledge of physics roll about in the dark, and grow old in their stupidity. When it proceeds to its proper doctrine we learn that " Jf the patient takes to his " bed when the moon is in Aries, and in position with " Mars or the sun, the disease will be in the head with " inflammation, and pain of the meninx, or lining mem.- " brane, and constant fevers and sleeplessness and burn- ing and thirst and a roughened tongue, and inflam- " mation of the chest, and disorder of the liver, and " excited irregular pulses. In such cases depletion of « blood wiU be useful, and application of all that cools " and comforts." Such was the origin of the di-eam theories and the prophecies about the event of diseases found in this volume. When the proper astronomical signs ([ and S and 9 and ^ and □ are employed, talk of this kind is enough to captivate the imagination of many a man sober and prudent enough in his daily affairs, and capable of making money. The Greeks read, copied, and transmitted to us such scientific doctrine, and the Saxons should not be over much blamed for doing the like. Upon evidence, which nothing contradicts, but which is not in itself very copious, the authorship of the trans- lation or adaptation of the work of Beda de Temponbus has been attributed to the grammarian iElfric. ^ iElfric was so common a name, that to identify om- man we should observe, he is often associated with the Ealdorman ^SelmfEp and liis son ^];elpeapb by his own writings and cotemporary documents. They were his patrons and friends. In the Chronicle at the date 1017 occui'S the entry; On ]>\]jnm ^eape pref Gabpic ealbojiman oprlajen . . . . ^]7elpeajib ^jjelmsepej' sunu jjieatan.

At the date 1013 Sweyn came to Bath, and there stationed himself, and to him came Mpelmser at the head of the western thanes and made his submission; -j com ^l^elmsep ealbojiman ]?ybep • ^ ]?a pepteyinan Jjejenaj' mib him 'J bujon ealle to Spejene • "j hi pflubon. The two come again together in a charter as granting estates; Uiginti mansiones .... quas -/Sl^elwerdus filio suo ^"Sehnaro longe ante mortem suam donavit. This ^"Sel- weard seems to be the grandfather, a son in law of the gallant Birhtno^, renowned in history and song, and the -ffi'Selweard who is entered in the Chronicle as kings high reeve killed in Hampshire in attempting to repel a landing of the Northmen in 1001. These are the men, or such as these, with whom .^Ifric was on terms of affection. The Latin preface to ^Ifrics Homilies, already pub- His teacher, lished, opens thus; " Ego ^Ifricus alumnus Athelwoldi " beneuoli et uenerabilis prsesulis:" the bishop-^|7e]wold of whom he here speaks, was the aUy of Dunstan and king Eadgar in the reestablishment of the monastic system ia England, bishop of Winchester. Further on in this volume, in the preface to the Historical Frag- ments, some account of him will be found. He occupied the episcopal throne from 963 to 984, and ruled with energy and success. He established or superintended a school at Winchester,^ of which JElfric here declares himself an alumnus. In the unpublished Homilies occur the following words : JJy ysebe eac opt ajjelpolb j-e halja bipceop |7e nu pyjic^ punbpa 'Sujih 50b • f he cu'Se anne mann mib selpeje bij'ceope • ye polbe bpmcan ou lenctene l^onne hine lyfte • pa pume bsej baeb he Jjone bipceop selpeh • blsetpian hip pul • he nolbe ■ pe bypija bpanc ' See page 415. b 2 jElfric not archbishop of Canterbury. butan blsetj'vinje eobe liim ur.

The saintly bishop ^pelwold also often said to us, he who now is working miracles at his tomb, that he knew a man with bishop JSlfheah who had a mind to drink in Lent whenever he pleased. So one day he requested bishop jElfheah to bless his cup. The bishop refused, and the silly felloiv drank without a blessing, and went out. Well, somebody suddenly set a dog upon a bull out there, and the bull ran at the man and gored him, so that he lost his life, and bought the ■untimely drink with that price. In this passage " us " stands for the scholars in the abbey school at Winchester, iElfric himself among them ; and as ^J^elwold frequently re- cited his story, tending to the due observance of lent and a proper appreciation of episcopal dignity, we may conclude that the alumni of ^felwold were receiving an education to fit them for the priestly office. ^Ifheah, who is mentioned, is the bishop of Winchester, 934 to 951, who gave iE)?elwold the tonsure and ordained him priest.^ JElfric wrote a life of his master, and father in Christ, " patris nostri," as he says, and addressed it to bishop Kenulf, who occupied the see but a very short time, his accession and death being put both in the same year, 1006, by Florence of Worcester, confii-med by the Chronicle. In many books it will be found set down for a fact, that .^Ifric, our subject, the vernacular translator, was the same as the archbishop of Canterbury ; but this is impossible, for as he wrote that life in 1006, and calls himself in the first words of it^ " -/Elfricus abbas," he could not be the man who was archbishop of Canterbury from 995 to 1005. There never was any passable authority for the misstatement. ' See page 407. I - ITAB. Vol. TI. p. 255. In tlie second volume of his homilies, as yet unpub- ^ifrictellsa lished, -^Ifric tells another story off his own pen, and ^yin^hes^r from the date assignable to it, it may have come to his knowledge while at Winchester.

On Palm Sunday branches of olives or other trees are burnt to ashes in the usual ecclesiastical service ; and on the Ash "Wednesday of the year following, a small portion is placed with benediction upon the forehead of each kneeling worshipper. " An illconditioned man was one of the retinue of bishop jElfstan in Wiltshire, at Ramsbury; this man would not go on Ash Wednesday to receive the ashes, as others did who went to mass. His companions urged him to go to the priest and receive the mysteries as they did. He said, I will not. They still urged him; he said he would not, and travelled beyond the subject, saying that he woidd enjoy his wife at the times not permitted. So they left it; and it happened that the heretic rode that week on some errand. So dogs made at him very savagely, and he defended himself till his staff stuck in the ground before him, and the horse earned him for- ward, 80 that the spear went right through him, and he Ml adyvng. So he got buried, and many loads of earth lay atop of him within seven days because he refused a few ashes. If with Professor Stubbs we suppose ^Ifstan to bave been bishop at Eamsbury from 974- to 981, we have here a story iEliric perhaps heard at Winchester. Before we fetch away -^Ifric from Winchester we iElfiics age: must observe that taking the words " Often said to us," ^st_approxi- ^ ^^^g widest sense, as if the' relater were only in the position to be remotely a hearer, and drawing the dates to the strictest point, 984, we may at least suppose that iElfric was fourteen at that date, and born not later than 970. The first of his works known to us are the published iELfrics Ho- homilies. The first volume was finished in the archi- ves, as pub- episcopate of Sigeric, 990 to 994, and dedicated to him. ' Now if .^Elfi-ic were born so late as 970, he shews a His age. knowledge of the Latin language, a force of judgment, and a discretion beyond his years ; we are raduced now to put his birth back beyond 965. ' About the date and the dedication hangs no doubt whatever; here are his own words, " Ego ^Ifricus alumnus Adelwoldi beneuoli " et uenerabilis prsesulis salutem exopto domno archi- " episcopo Sigerico in Domino." The Saxon preface to the same homilies tells us he M\Mc goes to had left Winchester, and gone to Cerne ; that this move took place in the time of ^Ifheah, successor of ^j?el- wold, and bishop of Winchester, 984 to 1005, after that archbishop of Canterbury, and slain by the Danes ; that he was then a priest and had taken the monastic vows, and that he was selected and induced to leave by the ealdorman iE]?elmser. Amongst these words occurs the expression on ^Selpebej- bsd^e in the time of Jdng jE^dred; whence Mr. Thorpe has concluded that "he " speaks of king iE);eh-ed's days as past," that is, that the homilies were published after 1016. But what is then to become of "salutem Sigerico?" In J^lfrics words nothing about past is to be found, and it is clear that he entered the new foundation at Cerne between 984 and 994.

At the end of tbis preface ^l^elweard is mentioned, as having wished for forty four, instead of forty, sermons in his copy. Wanley^ has copied for us the following words on the commemoration sermon for One Confessor: " Hunc ser- " monem nuper rogatu venerandi Episcopi Athelwoldi, " scilicet iunioris, Anglice transtulimus, quern huius " libelli calci inscribi fecimus, ne nobis desit, cum ipse " liabeat." j^ljjelwold, the younger, so called to dis- Eequested by tinguish him from the saint, was bishop of Winchester ^^^^^^^f"^ after Kenulf, from 1006 till 1015. The proximity of translate one in Cerne to Winchester reminds us that the homilies were P^'^*''^'^- put forth while iElfric was in Dorset, and as he says nuper, we may understand at least that this expression does not draw the composition of them down below 1006; but allows a considerable space in earlier years. The homily is at the end of the second book^ of the printed edition. Appended to this first volume or set of homilies we Author of the find the treatise on years and days, and the relation yelrsj^etc.^ generally of the heavens to the earth, in one copy ^ only; and the evidence that the work is yElfries arises from this circumstance only, and a general probability from the method of handling the translation from the Latin, with the difficulty of assigning such a work to any other wi'iter. The two fii'st books of homilies were immediately fol- lowed by another collection, a third and fourth book: " Hunc quoque codicem," says he, " transtulimus de Lati- " nitate ad usitatam Anglicam sermocinationem." These are yet unpublished. In the Latin preface he truly ' Page 125 a. - Vol. n,, p. 548 of the published copies. ' MS. BibL Cant. See Wanley, p. 160 a. Date of the third and fourth books of homilies. iEt)e.lweard his friend. states that an English version did not admit, as it is the language of common sense, of the flourishes which were then the fashion among Latinizers. " Hoc sciendum " etiam quod prolixiores passiones breuiamiis uerbis, nori " adeo sensu, ne fastidiosis ingeratur tedium, si tanta " prolixitas erit in propria lingua, quanta est in Latin a; " et non semper breuitas sermonem deturpat, sed mul- " totiens honestiorem reddit." His patrons iE^elweard dux and ^"SelmtBr are mentioned here also; and as the title of dux is given to ^6elweard, it must be understood that the kings high reeve, killed in 1001, is meant, " Non mihi imputetur quod diuinam scripturam nostre " lingue infero • quia arguet me prtecatus multorum " fidelium et maxime te]relpepbi ducis & seSelmeju nostri " qui ardentissime nostras interpretationes 'amplectun- tur lectitando." The English foreword also sounds in similar tones, and he greets humbly the man of rank, speaking of M^elmser only as a friend.

In the passage here quoted, unless ^Ifric turned upside down the relationship of father and son, this third book of homilies was published before 1001. On a former page it was evident enough that the two first of the whole number of four was published before the death of Sigeric in 994.' Mr. Thorpe will not, without more weighty arguments, persuade me that none of these were written till after 1016. Shortly before and shortly after 994 seems a probable date. In a preface to his translation of the legend of St. Thomas, iElfric expresses some hesitation: St. Augus- tinus of Hippo had offered a moral objection to the vengeful character of part of the story, and concluded to reject it; " licet nobis non credere, non enim est in " catholico canone," because it was not scripture. But ^jjelweard had strongly entreated, and omitting the objectionable passage, MU'ric complied: he here calls him venerabilis dux. The Indian legend of St. Thomas is mere feble from first to last, and it Lad been better left untouched. The abridgement of the Old Testament history was Translates part of the Old Testament. written by iElfric after the Homilies in four books, say °^ after 995 and before the death of JE]7elweard in 1001. The preface to Genesis begins with a humble greeting from the monk ^^Ifric to the ealdorman ^j^elweard; Mlyjxic mumic 5]iec ^Ej^elpeapb ealbopman eabmoblice, and it ends with a declaration that he will translate no more books from the Latin. Ic cpej^e nu f ic ne beafiji • ne ic nelle nane boc geptep pijyepe 0[: Lebene on Gnjlij'c apenban. It is scarcely probable that JElfric was the translator of the Gospels. Other translations of parts of the Scrip- Go°spels.*^^ tures had been made before his time; iE]7elweard had requested him to translate Genesis as far as Isaac son of Abraham, for some one else had provided him with a translation from Isaac to the end of the book : yojx ];am Jje pum o]7ej\ man ]7e hsepbe apenb ppara Ipaace fa boc o]> enbe. A great horror of furnishing any food for mistaken opinions in morals or theology then prevailed among bishops and clergy : they treated men as children are treated now. uSIlfiic did not think it advisable to translate every chapter in Genesis : he says he once knew a priest, his own master at that time, who had a copy of Genesis, and could partially understand Latin ; so said this man concerning the patriarch Jacob, that he had four wives, two sisters, and their two maid ser- vants.'

The citations in the Homilies from the Gospels are not verbally the same as the extant translation; but that bears little on the subject. Beda was at his death employed on a transla- tion of the Gospel of St. John into our own tongue, " in Translates the grammar. The CoUo- quium. What he says to bishop Wulfsige. " nostram linguam." ^ It is of more import by far, that where we expect some mention of such a work from iElfric himself we do not find it. The Excerpts from Priscianns and Donatus, called ^Ifric's Grammar, were translated at least after his col- lection of the whole eighty homilies.

"Si alicui tamen displicuerit nos- " tra interpretatio, dicat qnomodo uult, nos contenti " sumus sicut didicimus in schola a]?elpolbi uenera- " bills presulis, qui multos ad bonum imbuit."

The same purpose and the same date must be assigned to the Colloquium, A collection of rules or canons for the clergy is prefaced by some very outspoken words addressed to bishop Wulfsige, in whose diocese the monastery at Cernel we may presume to have been: for .^Ifiics dimis- sion by Alfheah no ways bears upon the question. iElfricus humilis frater venerabili episcopo Wulfsino salutem in Domino.

Nos vero scrip- titamus banc epistolam, quae Anglice sequitur, quasi ex tuo ore dictata sit et locutus esses ad clericos tibi subditos.^ Wulfsige or Wulfsinus was bishop of Sher- borne, 992 to 1001. That ^Ifric became abbot before 1006 had passed is Becomes abbot, certain. Others have supposed, and with every appear- ^°^*'" ance of truth, that he was the first abbot of Eynesham on the Tha,mes (now Isis), near Oxford. The founda- tion charter is printed by Kemble,^ and in the New Monasticon;^ it bears the date 1005 ; it recites that M\>elmseT gives the endowment, and that he received some of the estates from his father ^J»elweard a good while before his death ; some had come to Mpelweaxd from, his father in law BeorhtnoS, who was killed in defence of the coast in 991 at Maldon. Nothing was more likely than that -^Ej^elmasr should appoint his friend j(Elfric to preside over the community. Accordingly he extracts from bishop ^J^elwolds version of the Be- nedictine rule some part for his society, beginning in Latin thus, calling himself abbot among them, .^Ifricus abbas Egneshamensibus fratribus salutem in Christo. Ecce uideo uobiscum degens, uos necesse habere, quia nuper rogatu ./E]?elmeri ad monachicum habitum ordi- nati estis, instrui ad monachicum habitum dictis aut scriptis.'* ' D.D. p. 141. = CD. 714. I Vol. III. I ' Wanley, p. 110. Abbot again, 1006. A different man from the archbishop of Canterbury. An epitaph. It belongs to the archbishop of Canterbury. In 1006 again we find him introducing his life of iEjjelwold to bisho]3 Kenulf and the Wincliester com- munity with the proper words, ^Ifricus abbas, Winto- niensis alumnus, and so on. Thus we trace from his own writings and contem- porary authority the life of the grammarian to the date 1006, the year of the death of the ^Elfric who was archbishop of Canterbury. No one of this age, in whicb we live, is a more careful scrutinizer nor a more widely read expounder of those early times of our domestic history than Sir Frederic Madden. He has just published his verdict in these words, " Notwith- " standing all that has been written on the subject, " it seems impossible to identify ^Ifric the gram- " marian with JElfric the arcbbishop of Canterbury." He then tells us what the archbishop was, probably abbat of St. Albans, certainly bishop of Eamsbury and Wilton, and then archbishop.^ These were two difie- rent men, each with a home and an abbey and a career of his own. To the glossary which goes by the name of ^Ifric, and which may be his, - are prefixed in the printed text some verses as follows ; Prtesulis hie redolent .zEifrici lypsana summi. Qui rector patriae perstitit Angligenee. Inter pontifices rutilans ceu mystica lampas, Defensor regni, necne salus populi. Heu nostram fera mors extinxit nempe lucernam; Heu nostri cecidit fons quoque consilii. Hunc sexta decimaque kalendas namque Decembris Assumpsit Michael sen dedit Emmanuhel. This is the epitaph of the Archbishop. The Praesul summus, the Kector patritB, the Pontifex, the Salus populi are due to his station ; the Defensor regni, the Fons consilii to his vigour and wisdom; the Redolent ' Matthew Paris IHst. Angl. Pref., p. Ix. to the odour of sanctity in which he died; and the xvi. kal. Dec. to the 16th November, the day of his death. ^ If the glossary is the archbishops well and good. If it be the grammarians those verses are out of place : the original MS. is missing, and we possess only a transcript by Junius " ex membranis Rubenii/' from a MS. the property of the painter Rubens. We cannot therefore examine the handwriting nor the posi- tion of this epitaph. It does not belong to the Gram- marian, and the letter, as printed by Somner on the same page, belongs to the archbishop of York, Wliartons account of an affixed note on the Cam- Our account bridge copy of the Saxon annals, and its defining the "^^6 ^jj^^"' °° year of ./Elfricns birth, has been exploded by Ingram ; abbot, the word is JElfred, and the hand that of archbishop Parker. In the year 1006 .^Ifric the grammarian, monk and abbot, cannot have been less than forty one years of age. Beyond his abbacy of Eynesham I cannot carry him. The Prsesul just examined was not he. His friends were gone; the submission of JEj^elmser the great to Sweyn in 1013 did not save ^pelweard his son from death, 1017, by Cnut. Some people want to make him archbishop of York, Not archbishop who was known for JElfric Puttuc or Putta,^ as much as to say, quite a different .zEliric, who came to the see in 1023 and died 1050, at which date the gram- marian would be eighty five, and who was appointed by Cnut, who slew the grammarians friends and cared nothing for his vernacular; and this posthumous pro- motion the poor man is to obtain without one shred of evidence of any kind. Only somebody wrote an epitaph upon quite a different man and called him Praesul summus. Wharton shews that the death of the archbushop of York occurred ix. kal. Feb. ' Wharton, Anglia Sacra, p. 127, cites a Canterbury raartyrology for the day of the archbishop's death. - F.W. some MSS. Only abbot. The volume of Homilies in the C.CC.C. library, No. 198, has a rubric on the first page of tbe text, " ^Lfricus aT)bas transtulit." Now he was not abbot when he wrote the homilies, that rubric is therefore by the transcriber, and it appears that he, whoever he were, could not raise him higher than an abbacy. Malmsburys ' Malmsbury in his fifth book De Pontificibus makes j^llfric abbot of Malmsbury, with the following erro- neous identification ; " Reliquit aliquantos codices non " exigua ingenii monimenta, vitam sancti Adelwoldi, " antequam eam Wlstanus operosius concinnaret, ab- " breviationem passionis sancti Edmundi, libros multos " ex Latino in patrium sermonem versos." iElfric abbot of Malmsbury, as appears by the previous page of the same writer,^ was appointed by Eadgar in 974, when the author of those sermons in his native tongue was a pupil at Winchester. By favour of N. E. S. A, Hamilton, Esq., I have collated Malmsburys autograph MS. at this passage, and just before these words ap- pears a blank erasure of more than three lines, a proof that Malmsbury had found himself in error, and yet, as now is clear, had not entirely cancelled the mis- take. Matthew Paris Matthew Paris in his account of iElfric abbot of correct. Albans, afterwards archbishop of Canterbury, makes no allusion to such writings, but much more justifies the compliments Defensor patrise necne salus populi.

The mention of his translation of the books of Bangs is to be under- stood of a portion of the as yet unpublished third and fourth volumes of Homilies, which contain a summary of that part of Scripture. Four hides of land at East Heole, where Sigwerd lived, were gTanted in 963 to Abingdon,^ and Abingdon is a very few miles from Eynesham. iElfric had imbibed the tenets of his teachers, and Advocates was a strong advocate of celibacy in the clerical ^^^^.^ order. We find him as abbot defending his position in a piece of which a small fragment remains to us. ^Ifjiic abbob gjiet Sigejrup'S f ppeonblice, CDe if gefseb 5> J>u fsebeft beo me f ic oSep. tashte on senghfcen gepjiiten o8ejx eopep ancoji set ham mib eop tseh'S • fOfi |?an ]>e he fputehce faegS • f hic feo alepb f mseffe- pjieoftef pel moten pipigen • -j mme geppiten pi8cpe&eS ]?yfen.

XJale feliciter in Christo.^ He here also pronounces against marriage of the clergy. Not archbishop I ^ave now shewn that ^Ifric was never archbi.shop of York. of Canterbury, never abbot of Malmsbury, and two or three words will demolish Whartons grounds for clap- ping on his head the mifcre of York. Wharton him- self shews that the archbishop of York had been prce- positus of Winchester. iElfric quitted Winchester at an early age. But he might come back as provost or prior. Yes, but Wharton ought to have remembered that abbot,' which -^Ifric caUs himself, was impossible at Winchester. Where a bishops see was placed, in that cathedral there was never an abbot. Not abbot of The author of the Dissection of the Saxon Chronicle Peterborough. ^^^^ imao-ined yElfric to have been abbot of Peter- borough t but it seems to me that he views history as a subject to be operated on at will by a clever anatomist, who can put a Httle place like Eynesham into 1 Wanley, p. 22 ; DD. 452. his pocket witliout discovery. As I prefer being guided in matters of the past by written tradition, I cannot argue on surmises. ^Ifric accepted the spurious Epistle to the Laodi-Not abbot of ceans : a recent writer on the history of the canon, who rarely speaks without care, has, in mentioning the error, called him abbot of Cerne ; this is, I suppose, a wholly conjectural statement, and, as I have shewn, a false one. In Lord Londesboroughs museum is a plate of lead a relic, arranged as for a cover of a book, Avith two lines of Runic letters, and the first six lines of the Saxon Preface to the first volume of fifties Homilies, ending at j^aj- (i5as).' The Runes have not been deciphered. The book was supposed to have belonged to the abbey of Bury St. Edmunds, but Professor Stephens, whose noble work on Runes is now passing through the press, considers this leaden plate a forgery. Whether all has been included in this collection which should have been admitted, seems somewhat doubtful. For various pieces on the Computus have so ecclesiastical an aspect that they hardly seemed to belong to the department of science 5 but since the Computus is essentiaUy an endeavour to find a remedy for the incommensurability of two quantities, the periodic time of the earths rotation upon its axis, and of its revolution round the focal point of the solar system it IS in reality deeply involved in the intricacies of astro- nomical calculation. However, no known treatise nor account can be produced, the absence of which need be regi-etted, unless it be the Handbook of Brihtfer« of which Wanley^ gives a much less attractive account than the book deserves. While I speak of it, it may ' Miscellanea Gi-aphicn, by Fair- I = Page 103 holt and Wright, p. I2. e • VOL.

Since page 418 of this volume was struck off, I have discovered the same passage about the deathbed oi the saint in another manuscript, which gives the anecdote to Oidilwald, ^j^elwald, or ^Jjelwold, of Lindisfarne, who is spoken of by Beda in more than one passage. He was bishop of Lindisfarne from 724 to 740 A.D., and in the note inscribed in the Durham Euangelarium it is said he hit uta ji^pybe -j ^ibelbe, i^ressed externally cmd adorned it.

Against cough, take virgin honey and seed of marche and seed of dill, pound the seed small, mingle it thick with the honey, and pepper it smartly; take three spoons full at night fasting.

In case a man drink venom, take seed of marrubium, mingle it with wine, administer to be drunk. 11. This is the holy drink against one full of elfin tricks and for all temptations of the devil.

These worts shall serve for a lung salve, bonewort and brownwort, betony and a strawberry plant, southern- wood and hyssop, sage and savine and rue, agrimony and hazel, quitch, meadwort, pellitory. Against head ache, boil in water pulegium and leek, mint, fenmint, and the third kind of mint that hath white ' blooms ; wash the head frequently with this ooze. For a leprous body, delve up sorrel and silverweed so as to draw it out long, pound all well, boil in butter, add a somewhat of salt; that will be a good salve for a leprous body, wash the man with hot ^oater and smear with the salve. 15. For knee wark, take " weed plants " and hedge- rife, pound them well together and add meal, let it stand for some nights space on the Avorts ; administer it to be drunk.^ 16. For an eye salve, take aloes and zedoary, laurel berries and pepper, shave them small, and lay fresh cows butter in water, then take a broad whetstone and rub the butter " on the whetstone with copper so " that it may be pretty tough," then add some part of the worts thereto, then put the paste into a brass vessel, let it stand for nine days, and let some one turn it every day; afterwards melt it in the same brass vessel, strain it through a cloth, afterwards put it into whatever vessel thou wilt, use it when need be.

There are three days in the year which we call jEgyptiaci,"- that is, in our tongue, dangerous days ; in which, by no mians, for no occasion, neither mans -nor beasts blood must be diminished; that is the last Monday in April, the first Monday in August, and the first Monday in January. 118. He who on these three days shall diminish the volume of his blood, be it man, be it beast, as we have heaixl, shall forthwith on the first day or on the fourth day end his life. Or if his life be longer, he will not reach unto the seventh day. Also if he drink any medicinal drinlc on those three days, he will end his life within fifteen days. If any one be born on these days, he will end bis life by an evil death; and whosoever on these three days tastes flesh of goose, will end his life within forty days time. • The Egyptians were reckoned I length of the year ; hut these Dies by Beda good calculators of the j iEgyptiaci are a folly. foi. 191 a.

Here beginneth the book ire§i SiSa^ecov, that is, the setting forth for how many years leech- craft was hidden, and the learned leeches sagaciously investigated about the ascertaining of it. The earliest was Apollo, and his son ^sculapius or 'A(rxX>j7rioV, and Asklepios was uncle of Hippokrates ; these four invented earliest the building up of leechcrafts. About fifteen hundred years after the flood of Noah, in the days of Artaxerxes, who was king of the Persians, they lighted up the light of the leechcrafts. We know that Apollo first invented /xsfloStx^v, that is, the irons, when one healeth men with knives, and ^sculapius sfj.'TtsiptK^v, that is, the leechening, or sanative process of leechcrafts, and Asklepios Xoyixriv, that is, the observance of the law,* and the cupping glass ?, and Hippokrates QsMpixrjv, that is, viewing (diagnosis) of the sicknesses. Then Platon and Aristoteles, the very learned philoso- phers, followed after these, the aforesaid leeches, and they said, that in the human body there are four humoui's, inasmuch as the rainbow is also composed thus, that is the humours in the head, and the blood in the breast, and the raw bile in the inwards, and the swart bile within the gall bladder. And each one of them ruleth for three months, that is, from the fifteenth of December till the twenty-fifth of March, they say, that the humour in the head is waxing. Probably in a purely technical I But I do not endorse the Saxons sense, -with reference to the iidixos I story, among the -works of Hippokrates.

And from the .... of Marcli to the 25th of June tliat the blood is waxing in the breast: from the .I5tha of June to the twenty-lifth of September that the raw l)ile is waxing in the inwards : hence the days are named xovaSsj, that is, the dies caniculares, so that of them there are five and forty days, and in those days no leech can properly give aid to any sick man. And the fourth division is from the fifteenth of September to tlie twenty-fifth of December, that then the black bile waxeth in the gall bladder. This is distinguished according to the four cardinal points of the heaven, and of the earth, and of the air, and of the deep. Then as pleased the Lord was man constituted. That wanteth investigation and method. Now let us first certainly take our commencement with the head.b 2. For erysipelas. Thus shall one work the salve for the erysipelas, and thus he shall be healed. Take twenty shillings weight of litharge, and twenty shillings weight of new lime, and half a sextarius of vinegar, and four shil- lings weight of oil of myrtle, and mingle together, and rub them up thoroughly together with the vinegar, and then let a man take some other oil and mingle there- with and smear the sore therewith. 3. For the scabby. For a head which is swollen, which the " Greeks " call " ulcerosus," that is, head sore.

Eftsoons, if the same disease be troublesome to a child or a in youth. Take a head of garlic, entire with its skin and all, burn it to ashes, and then take the ashes and oil, mingle them together, and smear the sore therewith, and that is excellent against the disease. 7. For wounds that swell. And again, if the wounds swell Take furze and pound it, and lay it upon the swollen part, and it shall soon subside. 8. For a broken head. For a broken or wounded head wliich is caused by the humours of the head. Take betony and pound it, and lay it to the wound; and it abateth all the sore.

For ulcers of the head. For the man whose head acheth ; or if worms rule in the head: take mustard seed and rape seed, and mingle tvith them vinegar, and knead it with the vinegar, that it may be as thick as dough, and smear the forehead therewith, and this is a special leech- craft. 11.

Of purging the head. In case a mans head hath beatings in it, and for all the cleansing of tbe head, and for every ill, it is need- ful that a man should first cleanse his head:—that is to say, two sextarii of soap, and two of honey, and three sextarii of vinegar, and the sextarius shall weigh two pound, by silver weight; and take white fz'ankin- cense and mustard and ginger, of eacli of these twelve pennyweight, and take of rue a hand full, and of origanum a hand full, and an empty pine nut, and put all this into a new pot, and then on the morrow seethe thou it so strongly that the third part may be boiled away, then take it and put it into a glass vessel, and let a stove bath be made, and let the patient bathe himself therein, and then smear the head with the salve. 17. For the ears. This shall serve for the ears which wind or weather forecloseth, thus a man shall cure them: if there be a sound or a sore within the head, in the fii-st place apply this salve.

For glandular swellings behind the ears. For TTCipcoTihg, that is, for the sore which groweth about the ears, and which is named in our language halsgund, oiech ratten; and the halsgund is of two kinds, and they come at whiles upon a man, do these cursed ailments, and on the man most strongly who in a sore sickness di-ioketh cold liquid. And the halsgunds are of two kinds : the one are easy to heal and they pro- duce no scab, and the others are those which the Greeks call xuKWTiKul, that is, cursed,* and they are to be under- stood as was here before said, since they suddenly appear and suddenly depart away, without any leechcraft, and notwithstanding betoken much danger, since they are produced from the swart humour, and they appear red. 19. Thus shall a man heal them; take leaves of way- broad before the rising of the sun, then take bread and salt and fungus, and pound it all up together, and work it to a poultice, and lay it to the sore, then shall it burst, and soon after heal. 20.

If the disorder cometh from the dry heat, then let a man take a cloth and dip it in water, and wash the eyes with the cloth imd rub the eyes with it; and if they be swollen up, or full of blood, then shall a man put a cupping horn upon the temples; and if they turn blind without any soreness, give him, the patient, satureia,*^ savoi^y, to drink, and he will be healed; and eftsoons if any thing fouleth the eyes within, then shall a man take mead or womans milk, and put it into the eyes, and it will soon be better with them. 21. For bleared eyes. This shall he the remedy for the eyes, wliicli have been struck or are bleared; take leaves of verbena and pound them thoroughly; work a poultice, like a little cake, and lay it for a day and a night upon the eye. Again, take olusatrum, and honey, and the white of an egg; mingle together, lay to the eyes, it will soon be well with them. Eftsoons for that ilk. Take new cheese, and shred it into boiling water, and then take the cheese and make as it were little cakes and bind to the eyes for one night. 22. irpos yxuuKwiJ.ciTix. For dimness of eyes. This shall be for dimness of eyes, which the Greeks name y\xvKM[ji,uTcii, that is, dimness of eyes. Thus one must heal it.

Tliis shall be for tendernesses for eyes, which are sores in the eye roots. Take myrtle berries and lay them in honey, and then take the myrtle berries and lay them to the eyes, that the eyes may swell; and then take rue and poimd it, and mingle ashes therewith, and then lay them to the eyes, then first it biteth them; swill the eyelids; and affcer that it cleverly healeth them. 24. For those who cannot see from sunrise to sunset. For voxT«Xw7raj, that is, in our own language, the men who are able to see nothing after sunrise, till he again go to his setting. This then is the leechcraft which thereto belongeth. Take a knee cap of a buck, and roast it, and when the roast sweats, then take the sweat, and SD^ar therewith the eyes, and after that let the blind eat the same roast; and then take a new asses tord, and squeeze it, then let him take the ooze, and smear the eyes therewith, and it will soon be better with them. 25. For a sty in the eye. This shaU be for that which is on eyes, which the "Greeks"a hight hordeolum. This is the leechcraft which thereto belongeth.

Thus must one do for the man who cannot sleep : take wormwood and rub it into wine or warm water, and let the man drink, and soon it will be better with him. 28. For sneezing {hard breathing].^ This is the treatment for the man who is not well able to breathe, and hath much oppression on the head. This is the leechcraft, which thereto belongetb. Take castoreum or helleborum and work it to dust, and put it into the nose, and it will fetch forth the breath. 29. For lip [and tongue] sore. Again this leechdom shall be for the " men " whose lips be sore, or whose tongues and gullet also is sore, so that "he" with difficulty can swallow his spittle. Thus shall one tend him. Take cinqfoil and dry it to dust, and then mingle honey thereto. Then take the salve and smear therewith the lips and the jowls within, and soon it is better with him. 30. For those who suddenly lose their voice. This leechcraft must one apply to the "men who" suddenly turn dumb. Take dwarf dwostle, that is, pu- legium, put it into vinegar, and then take a linen cloth and put the dwarf dwostle into it, and then put it beneath " his" nose, and soon he will be able to speak.

This ought to be done for the men the string under whose tongue is badly swollen, and through the string first, every disorder cometh on the man. Then take thou first the kernel which is within the peach, and kernel of wild cucumber, and colewort stalk, 'pound together, and cut the string under the tongue and put the dust in, and soon it will be better with him. 32. Against the flesh which waxeth about the teeth. Ad gingivas, as the " Greeks" hight them, that is, in our language, the flesh which waxeth about the teeth and maketh the teeth wag, and disturbeth them; take a leek, cut up and pound it, and wring the ooze from it, one spoon fuU, and vinegar one spoon full, and of honey three spoons fuU, and make it boil tlirice. Then take it as hot as the man can bear it, and let him keep a part in his mouth till it be got cool, then eftaoons another part similarly, then the third part similarly. 33. For the teeth. Of the cause of tooth ache. This leechcraft is for human teeth, which the Greeks name opyavov,"' that is in our language named bliss,'' since through the teeth, the bliss shaU upspring, and mans dignity and all necessity is on the teeth. Every man may understand it. And the tongue is companion to the teeth in speech. Further what the Greeks name is first TO/xeTf, that is the first teeth, which first in a manner, receive wisdom.

" eumofcici," these are the teeth which break the meat, after tlie fost have received it. Then^the Greeks name some fj^vxihs ?which we hight grinders, for they grind all that man liveth on. And it is often inquired whe- ther teeth be of bone, since every bone hath marrow, and they have no marrow; and other bones, though they may be broken, may by some leechcraft be healed, and the tooth never, if it be broken. Often the worst humour cometh to the teeth from the head, in such manner as it droppeth off a house upon a stone, then it getteth the better, and drilleth through and pierceth the stone; similarly the moisture of the head from above falleth upon the teeth, and then pierceth through them and causeth them to rot and swell, so that the teeth can endure neither heat nor cold, and especially the grinders teeth, which are fastened, each with four roots; and then they leave their roots, then they turn swart and fall: this then is the leechcraft in that case. Take some part of the hide of a hart, and a new crock, and add water and seethe so strongly that it shall boil thi'ee times as strongly as water [boiling] flesh. Then take the water and let the man keep it in his mouth, as warm as he is able to bear it, till it be cooled ; and when it is cool, let him cast it out of his mouth, and again take warmer, and again when cool get rid of it, and he will soon be mended. 34. Again, for the same. Eftsoons, take pepper and aloes and salt and seed of leek and honey, and mingle all together. Then take the salve and rub the teeth therewith, and the salve putteth to flight all the mischief from the teeth.

Eftsoons, mingle all together, white frankincense, and laurel berries, and vinegar; then take a pan, and make it all lukewarm together, so that it may be luke- warm, and let the man keep it in his mouth so luke- warm. 36. For the uvula. This leechcraft is good for the uvula. Take pepper and cummin and rue, the weight of three shillings, and add thereto a spoon full of honey. Then take a clean pan, and seethe the salve so that it may boil well, and stir it thoroughly, while it is boiling, take a clean vat and put the salve in. Then [cjive] the man to eat two spoons full at evening, two at morning, and he will soon be well, 37. For swelling of a mans thi'oat. This leechcraft is good if a mans throat be swollen, and the jowls, which the Greeks hight ^poyxo^i- This is the leechcraft. Give him to sup roasted half cooked eggs, and honey besides, and get him a broth made of milk, and give him chervil to eat, and fat flesh, which has been well sodden: let him eat, and he will soon be whole. 38. For oppression of the chest. This leechcraft shall be for the men at whose heart there is tightness and at whose throat, so that they not easily are able to speak; of that thus shalt thou relieve liim.

For swelling of the throat. " For a mans jowl that is sore." One must apply this leechcraft to the men whose jowls are sore, which the Greeks hight yapyupKrig, gargle; take new beans and pound them, then take vinegar, or wine, and seethe the beans, and take oil, and mingle with them, or lard, if one have no oil, and add thereto; boil in a pan. Then take wool and dip it into the salve, and bind the wool to the jowl. 42. For sore of the back of the neck. This leechdom is good for the men whose neck is sore, and all the swere is so very sore that the man can scarcely shut his mouth: that sore the Greeks call " o-Trao-jutoj," that is, in our language, sore of the back " Catalepsy, related to epilepsy.

For the evil in a mans neck.''' This leechcraft one must employ to the " men " whose neck with the sinews is distorted ; so that " he" has no power over it, which the Greeks call TeVavoj. This disease is of three kinds, the one kind the Greeks call tetanus; those are the men who go right up ^with neck extended, and for their ailment are not able to bend. And the second disorder thus afiects the neck, so that the sinews draw from the chin to the breast, and the man is not able to shut his mouth for the drawing of the sinews, and this the Greeks name eixTrgoMrovos; and the third kind sitteth so on the neck that the sinews draw from the chin bone to the shoulder, and start the mouth awry.

Then take old wine and old grease; then take a pan, and seethe the grease and the wine strongly till the grease hath drunken in the wine. Then take wool and teaze it, and make it as it were a poultice, and lay the salve upon it, and then bind it to the sore with a cloth. 44. For the same. Eftsoons take butter and oil and mingle together; take then the husks of grapes, and galbanum, and hore- hound, and pound all together, and boil in the butter and in the oil, and apply to the sore, as was here before said. Then procure the patient delicate meats and some good drink, as was before said, as long as he may need. 45. Ad perniones, or chilblains. For sore hands. This leechcraffc is good for sore hands and for sore of the fingers, which the Greeks call m-spvloi, and in Latin perniones it is named. Take white frankincense and silver sinders,a and brimstone, and mingle together, then take oil and mingle it therewith, then warm the hands and smear them therewith, then wrap up the hands in a linen cloth. » Or Cinders : the 2To/t<i^aTo of the writers from whom were derived these medical ideas.

If it cometh of much drink, then shall he observe abstinence. If it cometla of mickle toil or of trouble, tlien shalt thou give him vinegar mingled with honey, or vinegar to drink mingled with leek. If the ailment cometh of the cold, then take thou beavers stones and burn them to dust, and grind pep- per, and mingle pepper and the dust together, and take a spoon full of the mingled dust, and put it into a cup full of wine, and then make lukewarm the wine with the dust, and give it the man to drink. Or take pyrethrum^ mingled with mead, as much as was mingled of the other, and give him to drink. 51. For asthma.

Thus thou shalt heal him: bring him into the liouse, which shall be neither too hot nor too cold, and have a leech let him blood, in the left arm, if he be of age for that; well, if thou mayest not in the arm, then shalt thou let him blood with a cupping glass* between the shoulders in the same wise as a man doth with a.horn.

Then again take chicken meat, a hand full of it, and three " apples" of celandine; then take a half sester of wine, and seethe it till it be well sodden; then give him this to drink for three days, each day one cup full. • Here -um seems to belong to the singular.

There are many infirmities which come on a man through the breast, and sooth it is, that every humour cometh first out of the maw, and through that humour the breast is oppressed, and the heart and sides are filled with ill blood, and after that all the veins are relaxed, and the sinews are fordrawn %uith spasms, and all the body is particoloured, and the shoulder joints are sore, and the shoulder blades draw together, and there are prickings in the shoulders and on the back as if there were thorns there, and the mans countenance is all changed: when thou seest these tokens on the man, then shalt thou let him blood ; and if thou dost not, it will come in him to a mickle and strong illness, for that the veins and the limbs are filled with much foulness: hence we bid in the first place, that one should make him a spew drink, inasmuch as all the mischief which is in the heart and in the breast shall all come away, and the heart and the breast and the head shall be thus well cleansed; and if he then spit out his spittle strong, that is the evil humour which ruleth in the head, and luith which all the body is oppressed and weighed down, just as if the man were come out of mickle toil, and he is all awearied, and except he be sooner healed, it will come to much harm to him.

Further, he shall eat dry bread and cheese, and let him not come into any chill while he is sick, but be in a warm house; and let one heat him a bath as soon as his condition amendeth. Then take roots of water rushes, and root of gladden, and swart mint, and mug wort, and dry them to dust, and add thereto acorns or wheaten bran (?) ; mingle them together; then mingle honey with them, and husks of grapes, and some portion of pitch, and grease of a white goose; then seethe all together in a new crock; then take wool which never got washed, work a poul- tice thereof, lay the salve pretty tliick upon it, then tie it to the breast as hot as the man can bear it; when it is cooled, lay on another one warm, and do thus as long as he may require it. Work him a good drink, which shall both cleanse the breast and the in- wards, and let one also bake him a warm loaf at the hearth, and let him eat for many days the warm loaf.

This leechdom one must apply to the men who are in their hearts or sides out of health. Thus thou shalt understand the mischief: on the man there is disco- loration, just as if he were all beaten to pieces, and he cougheth very heavily, and feels a mickle heaviness at his heart, and what he out hreaketh is very thick, and hath a white hue. Then thus shalt thou cure him : take green tansy and pound it very small, and take an egg and the wort and whip them up together; then take swines grease and a clean pan, then boil the wort with the egg in the swines grease within the pan till it be enough done, and give it to him fasting to eat; and after that he shall fast seven hours ere he eat any other meat; and if thou have not green tansy, take the dust and mash it with the egg; and use this leechcraft till he be hale. 59. For those who spit too much. This shall be for a leechcraffc for the men who spit their spittle out excessively, and they have a very heavy maw. Well, it is good that a man should ascer- tam, when the sickness cometh on, inasmuch as this disease doth not trouble every man alike.

Thou mayst under- stand the disease, since from the mickle heat the spittle is released, and the mickle spittle cometh from the mickle heat, just as the wood that a man lays upon the hearth, by reason of the mickle heat, by which the wood is burnt, there welleth water out of the end of it. Thus thou shalt cure the man. Take of ginger twelve pennyweight, and of pepper four and twenty pennyweight, and of honey eight and forty penny- weight, then mingle all this together, and give to the man fasting to eat thereof two or three spoons full. 60. For the hot water that shooteth up out of the breast. For acidity, that is, the hot water which shooteth up out of the breast, and at whiles out of the maw. The patient then shall drink five " handfuls" of salt water, and again take seed of wormwood, and seethe it in water and mingle with it wine, and let the man drink it; also, take three or five pepper corns, and let him eat thetn. Again, take one pennyweight of betony and seethe in water, and give him to drink fasting. Again, take rue and pound it, and then lay it in vinegar, and give it him fasting to drink. Eft- soons, take seed of lovage, a handful, and let him eat it. CI. To get a vomit. This leechcraft shall be for the men that have a wish to spew.

All this the drink removeth and cleanseth away ; and whatsoever thing is there waxing into mischief in the man, through the drink he shall be soothed and relieved. The spew drink is good before meat and better after meat, since the old leeches write thus of it, that the fast hold of the evil humour in the head, and the overflowing mis- chief in the breast, are stirred after the meat, and the evil humour in the bile is also stirred; then by the drink it is purged, and the dnnk permitteth not that any evil humour be collected there within the maw. Thus thou shalt prepare the spew drink: take small rapes and lay them in vinegar, and add honey, and let it lie a night poured thereon ; then let the man eat it o morning till he be full; then let him drink after it warm water ; then take a feather and dip it into oil, and poke it into his mouth, or let him put his fingers into his mouth, that he may stir up the spew drink ; and again, take a cup full of water and salt, and mingle them thoroughly together till the salt be melted, then put it in a crock for one night; take it o morning, and drain it through a linen cloth, and give it to the man to drink. When the drink stirreth him, then give him warm water to drink frequently, that be may spew the better. 62. A lighter dose for a vomit. And again, if thou hast a wish to give the man a lighter drink; then take warm water and give it him to drink; then dip a feather in oil and put it in his mouth, or let him put his fingers doion his throat, and he will spew soon.

Against over vomiting. One must apply this leechcraft to the men that spew violently, if they wish that it should stop, which the Greeks call aTre^i^jo-jj (?); these are the men who, after they have taken their meat, will spew it up; and at whiles they spew before they eat; and the maw is sore, and the inwards swell, and the man is languid in every limb, and he is thirsty constantly, and the countenance and the feet are swollen up, and his face is pale, and his mie is white, and he will mie frequently. Thus thou Shalt quickly cure him: if he be of suitable age, let him blood from both the feet beneath the ancle; let the blood be so let, that the sick man ftxint not' and that the things which uphold the strength may never for that perish; and the second bloodletting, by which thou Shalt cure the sick, is that thou shalt let hun blood under the tongue, that the bloodletting may relieve the man ; and after the bloodletting hath been performed, thou shalt scarify him; then take salt ajid fealc 1 gmb ]?a punba iriib • Dfim j^anne cicena mete • % pylle cserfen • 1 eorme leafef feb • T; feo|7 hy on patere • hponlice meng ];ar to ele • 1 liuntje • T; pyre |»anne clyj»an ]?erof • 1 leje ]?arto ]?ru bse^ef • T: ]7re ntht. eft fona mm glabenan 1 hlutter pic • 1 meng to gabere • 1 bo to ele 1 pex • T: beferef hei'j^f'an 1 galpanan • 1 panic • T. hpyt cubu • cnuca Jjanne call paf to gabere • T; majce to gabere • meng j^arto ]?anne ecebe T; pyrce clyjjan of |?iffum • 1 le'^e ]7ar to.

For that ilk ; take betony so green, and rub it smaU into water, and then add some pro- portion of honey, and give to the man fasting a cup full to drink. Again, take betony, the weight of three shillings, and seethe it well in honey, and stir it fre- quently, and then work up four great lumps like Httle acorns, and then give them to him fasting to eat in warm water, for four days, every day one lump.

Again, if the man spew, and be not able to eat, give him to drink helenium roots, or leaves of valerian, or milfoil mingled with wine. Again, if the disease be chronic on a man so that it eats through him, take lovage, the lower part of it, and rub it small in wine and water, and give it the man to drink. Again, take helenium and acrcfjaXroe, and seethe in wine, and give the man to drink ; this is the best dose against the disease: and against the same take mastich and aloes and myrrh and ginger and cummin, and grind tliem all together, and add honey, as much as there may be need of; then take a linen cloth and lay the salve upon it, then bind it over the maw; then the salve cleanseth the inwards, and doth away the weariness, and warmeth the maw. For that ilk; take of brimstone eight penny weight and pound it small, then take a half done roasted egg, and put the brimstone in that, and give it the man to eat. Again, if thou wilt do away the weariness from the man; when the evil hath afflicted him from whom thou needst remove it, take mastich and ginger and frankincense and laurel berries and costmary, of each of these equal quantities, then take of other drugs a spoon full, and rub them all togetlier ; then take two parts of water, and of wine the third part; then mingle all together; give this to him to drink.

MS. 64, Ad alfJ^OTTTOlKOVg. For those troubled with blood spitting» which the Greeks call alf/^uToa-Ta^, which is in Latin named Re- iectatio, and in English is hight blood running. Thus doth the blood running trouble them : at whiles the blood runneth through the nose; at whiles, when it lodges in the fundament, it runneth from them thence; but the old leeches said that this malady is composed from four things, that is, from the breast and fi-om the maw and from the kidneys and from the guts. Gale- nos, the leech, out of his wisdom thus wrote of it: If it be in the breast or in the maw, then it may be Galen, vol. viii. known through the spewing or spitting, if it is on the ^i^^' kidneys or the bladder, thou mayst know it through the urine. 65. If the pain and infirmity be in the vitals. If it is of the guis, then mayst thou know it by means of the faecal discharge. It is ascertained of some men that in them the blood welleth out of the head; and at some whiles that it springeth out through the two little holes which be within the gullet, since the veins, which are within the holes, are burst; and at whiles the blood welleth out of the gullet, at whiles out of the tonsils, at whiles out of the sharp bones which are between the breasts, and at whiles out of the lung, at whiles out of the stomach, at whiles out of tlie inwards, at whiles out of the loins. This is the distinction of the modes of treatment.

Further, if it be fi'om the sharp bone, so that he painfully coughs, and spitteth out blood, and " disturbeth much blood," and if besides his breast is made sore; then know thou for certain, that the veins are burst which are set in the drilled passages. Further, if the blood cometh from the lungs, understand thou that thus : if the blood be very red and clean to spit out, and he hreaketh it out with a cough without any soreness. If the blood flow from the inwards, know thou that there are wounds in the guts; and when he goeth to his evacuations, then what goeth from him is much mingled with blood. And further, if it is from the reins or the loins, then the blood cometh from the bladder, and that which he pisseth is swart or white or red, since from an evil disease cometh this upon the man. Thus thou shalt treat him : get him into a warm and well lighted house, and make him up a bed of moor sedge upon the earth; and he must refrain himself from many things ; that is to say, first from much speech, and from ire, and from copulation,. and from all four footed flesh, and from smoke Q^eat it make him cough), and from every impatience; since the veins burst from the supera- bundance of blood, which is in the body and in the veins.

Hippokrates saifch : Hippokrates the leech set forth that in some bodies there be raore veins than in some; ^ and the body is •warmer in those who have more veins than in those who have fewer. When the body and the veins are full of the ill blood, then shalt thou let them blood in the arm, if they have the age for it; and work them next two fresh poultices, and bind the one betwixt the shoulders, the other betwixt the breasts; and give him first of all to eat a roasted mushroom; and if the blood well out from the head, then pound thou a mushroom, and take water and honey, and mingle them together, and give them to him to drink: then take vinegar and honey and mingle them together; then take a feather and dip it therein, and then smear the place with it. See where the blood welleth out; if thou may reach the place, if the blood welleth out of the throat, take colwort, sponge, and a mushroom, and salt, and pound all together, and then bind the poultice upon the throat, and give him first to drink fennel in clear wine, and give him to eat a new honey comb, and it will soon be well with him. And if the blood be from the lung, then take waybroad, and pound it, and wring from it the ooze, and drink. If it be from the sharp bone wliich is between the breasts, then take thou a mush- room cold, and salt, and pound them together; then take a sponge and lay the salve upon it, and bind to the breasts; then pound the mushroom and put it into In Hippocrates nothing is to be found to this eflFect.

If she walks tardy and has hollow eyes, she will bear a boy; if she goes quick and has swollen eyes, she wiU bear a girl. Again another method, take two worts in hand, namely lily and rose ; carry them to a pregnant woman, bid her take whether of the two she chooses of those worts; if she takes a lily, she will bear a boy; if she takes a rose, she will bring forth a gu-1. Again there is another method, by observing if the woman steps more with the heels upon the earth, she will bring forth a boy; if she treads more with the toes, she will have a girl. Again there is another way, if the w^mans belly is high up, she will bear a boy; if it be srfiak down, she will produce a girl. Again another matter, if a woman be four or five months gone with child, and she then is often eating nuts or acorns or any fresh fruits, then it sometimes happens thereby that the child turns out silly. Again there is another matter, if she eats bulls or rams, or bucks or boars, or cocks or ganders flesh, or that of any of the animals that is able to engender, then it sometimes happens thereby that the child is humpbacked and bursted.

ON THE FORMATION OF THE FCETUS. Here beginneth to tell of a mans nature, how in his mothers womb he groweth to be man. First the mans brain is formed in his mothers womb, then the brain is furnished on the outside with membrane in the sixth week. In the second month the veins are formed; they are divided into three hundred and sixty five shorter and longer ones; and the blood then floweth into the feet and hands, and he is then divided into limbs and groweth into one. In the third month he is a man without a soul. In the fourth month he is firm in his limbs. In the fifth month he is quick and waxeth, and the mother is witless; and the ribs are then formed : then there occurs to her many a trouble when the body of the foetus is being formed in her womb. In the sixth month he gets a skin, and the bones are growing. In the seventh month the toes and the fingers are growing. In the eighth month his breast organs are growing, and his heart and his blood, and he is altogether firmly com- pacted. In the ninth month it is known to a woman whetlier she can bring forth. On the tenth month the woman does not escape with her life if the bairn is not bom, since it turns in the belly to a deadly disorder, and oftenest on Tuesnight. K 2 PROGNOSTICS.

A leech tested this doctrine, and let his horse blood on that horn-, and it soon lay dead. Now here- are the days as is said here. The first day in March, that is, in the month Hlyda, and the fourth day before the end of it. In the next month, which we call April, the tenth day is mischievous, and the eleventh before its end. In the month of May, the third day is mischievous, and the seventh before the end of it. In the month of June, the tenth day, and the fifteenth before the end of it. In July, the twelfth, and the tenth before the end. In August, the first day, and the second before the end. In September, the third day, and the tenth before the end. In October, the third, and the tenth from the end. In November, the fifth, and the third from the end. In December, the seventh, and the tenth from the end. In January, the first, and the seventh from the end. In February, the fourth, and the third from the end. In the commencement of this series we have put the month of March, which men call Hlyda, since it is the beginning, after right reckoning, of all the year, and the Almighty God on that month created aU creation.

We have further heard a man say, that no man shouldlive, who had blood let from him on All HaUows day; nor if he were then, wounded. This is no sorcery, but wise men have made experiment of it, through the holy wisdom, as God Almighty dictated to them. There are three days in the twelvemonth, with three nights, on which no woman is bom; and whatever man is born on those days never putrefies in body in the earth, nor turns foul till dooms day. Now one of those days is in the latter part of December, and the remaining two are in the early part of January, and few there s^xe who know or understand these mysteries. On the first night of the moons age, whatever you dream turns out joy. On the second and third, the dream has no efficacy for good nor evil. On the fourth and fifth, it is a good di-eam, keep it earnestly in your heart. On the sixth, let that which you see be firm in your breast, mind your thought do not perish. On the seventh night, whatsoever cometh be- fore the eye will after a time have its fuldlment. On the eighth and ninth, whatever appeared in a dream to you, will become public. If you saw something unpleasant, turn your head to the east, and pray God for mercy. On the tenth, your dream shall pass ofi" without harm. On the eleventh, the dream shall end in joy. On the twelfth and thirteenth, you shall within three days see whatever appeared before in the dream. On the fourteenth, the dream has no accom- f naep'S ^ njiemje ppemebnj-ffe jobef ne yjrelef.

On the twenty fifth and twenty sixth, it betokeneth future terror and troubles, and in nine or ten days it shall be ful- filled ; turn your head to the east, and ask for mercy. On the twenty seventh and twenty eighth, it betokens all joy and [removal of?] all anguish and uneasiness; it promises tranquillity and gladness. On the twenty ninth also as before. On the thirtieth, before two days pass, the dream shall be fulfilled without vexations. If a man is born when the moon is one day old, he shall be long lived and wealthy. If he is born when it is two days old, he shall be always sickly and un- healthy. If he is born when it is three days old, he shall live long. If he is born when it is four days old, he shall always be in words false. If when it is five nights old, he shall decease in youth. If when it is six nights old, he shall be long lived and happy.

A hundred and twenty psalms out of the Psalter are as good as twelve months fasting ; one psalm is as good as one days fasting, or sing the psalm Miserere mei Deus ten times, and as many paternosters, and lay thy cheek upon the earth.

If it seems to him that he sees many eagles at once, that shall be harm and assaults and plots of men. If it seems to you that you see bees carrying honey, it shall prove * to be the earning of money from wealthy persons. If bees sting him, that signifies that his mind shall be much disturbed by foreigners. If he fancy he sees bees fly into his house, that shall be the destruction of the house. If he fancy that he sees many fowls together, that shall be jealousy and chiding. If he seetli fowls figlit one another, that shall be that powerful persons 8 are in contest. If a snake pursue him, let him be on his guard against evil women. When it seems an eagle pursues liim, that is death. If it seems he washes him- self in hot water, that signifies indisposition of body. If he seems to be washing in cold water, that denotes 12 the health and soundness of his body. If it seems that he bathes or washes in the sea, that is bliss. If he sees or travels over a fair piece of water, that is, ease of mind. If he thinks he sees turbid water, that has no significance. If he finds gold, that is a good dream. • A very minute collation eeemed unsuitable in this piece. jecynbe^ ne biS.

" nyclice, MS. The first moon of the lun^r month is useful for all j)urposes. A child born on it will be illustrious, clever, wise, bookleanied ; endangeired on water ; from which if he escapes he wiU be long in life. A maiden then born will be pure, chaste, mild, handsome, acceptable to the men, of a right discrimination. In the latter part of her life she will lie long abed. She will have a token on her mouth or eyebrow. He who takes to his bed that day will be long ill. "Whatever a man dreams will be turned to bliss, since not evil or^ seldom but^ good it betokens. It is a good moon, all day, for bloodletting or withdrawing. The second moon is useful for all purposes : to buy, to sell, to go aboard ship. A child born on it will be wise, mild, astute, lucky. A maiden in like manner. He who takes to his bed will soon recover. A dream hath no fulfilment. This moon is not good for drawing off blood. The third moon is not good to begin works, except to root out what is grown up again : to tame cattle, to castrate boars; do not sow a garden that day, since idle worts will be produced. What is stolen will be quickly found. He who takes to bed will quickly be up again, or will suffer long inconvenience. A child born that day will be spirited, greedy of others property: rarely he will become old ; he will die by a bad death. A maiden likewise, and she will be laborious; she will want many men, and she will not be old. A dream is vain. It is not a good moon to let blood on. The fourth moon is useful to begin works; to put a child to school. He who absconds Vill quickly be found.

Mind not to keep it before the twenty seventh of November nor after the third ot December; but in the seven days intei-val (inclusively) the day and the Advent may be kept with all honour. Old sages and wise Romans have laid it down in calculation that Easter must never happen before the twentieth of March, nor after the twenty fifth of April. But in this reckoning, within these limits, observe where it falls, let it then be duly kept without any doubt. A Calendar. Computus Ecclesiasticus. On the first of January consider where, after the seventeenth of January, occurs a moon ten days old observe the Sunday. Halleluiah! In February, after the seventh of February, see where you get a moon two days old; the next Sunday will be a holy day. In March, after the twentieth, see where you get a moon fourteen nights old ; the next Sunday is Easter day. If you know not what concurrentes there are in the year, ascertain what day is the thirty first of March ; if it be a Sunday the concurrentes are one ; if a Mon- day the concurrentes are two, and you will have as many concui-rentes for the year as days are gone in the week. And you will have as many epacts in the year as the day the moon is old on the twenty first of March.

And the Sunday next after is Septua- gesima. And if you want to know early how many epacts there are in the year, count how old the moon is on the twenty second of March, and there will be as many epacts in the year as the moon is days old. And if you want to know how old the moon was on the previous year this day, then ascertain how old the moon is to-day: then add twenty, then, if in all there be more than thirty, how many days the moon be (by this reckoning) over thirty, so many was the moon old last year. If you want to know how old the moon will be on this day next year, ascertain how old the moon is to- day ; then, whatever be the result, add eleven; then, however many there be over thirty, so old will be the moon next year on this day. The first Friday to fast on is in March, and the second is before Pentecost, and the first also which liappens in July. The man who keeps this fast need not feai" hell fii'es, unless he be a traitor.

I would also, if I durst, gather some little information Beda, the from the book which Beda the wise teacher set forth and ^ collected from books of many wise doctors about the courses of the year, from the beginning of the world. It is not for a sermon but to be read otherwise by them Avhom it so pleaseth. When then the Almighty Creator formed this world, then said he, " Let there be light," and Genes, i. 3. lio-ht forthwith came into existence. . Then God saw that to the light was good, and divided the light from the dark- ness, and called the light day, and the darkness night, Creation, and then was evening and morning counted for one day. On the second day God formed heaven, which is called iirmament; it is visible and material, but yet we are not able, for its remote elevation and for thickness of the clouds and for tenderness of our eyes, ever to see it. The heaven locketh up in its bosom all the world ; and Heaven ^ , revolves. it turneth ever about us, swifter than any mill wheel, as deep under this earth as it is above it. It is all round and solid, and painted with stars. Well, the other heavens which are above it and beneath it are beyond the discussion and investigation of men. There are how- Plurality of ° • 1 1 heavens, ever more heavens, as the prophet said, " the heaven j Kings viii " of heavens."

Those three days were without sun and moon and stars, and at all times overspread with light and darkness in equilibrium. On the fourth day God made two mickle lights, that is the sun and moon, Sun and moon and assigned the greater light, that is the sun, to the day, ^ ' and the lesser light, that is the moon, to the night. On the same day he wrought aU stars and set times. On the fifth day he formed all creeping things, and the mickle whales, and all fish kind in various and manifold forms. On the sixth day he formed all kinds of beasts, and all cattle that go on four feet, and the two men Adam and Eve. On the seventh day he ended his work, and the week was then gone. Well, every da}-- in this world Day. is from the lighting up of the sun. The sun indeed goeth by Gods arrangement, betwixt heaven and earth, by day above the earth, and by night under this earth. Sun revolves, quite as far down by night time imder the earth as by day it mounts up above it. Ever is it running about this earth, and shineth aU as bright tmder the earth by night time as by day time it doth over our heads. On the side on which it shineth there is day, and on the side on which it shineth not there is night. Ever is there Night, on one side of the earth day, and ever on one side night. The light which we call dawn, cometh from the sun, when it is upward, and it then driveth away the nightly dark- ness with its mickle light. All as thick is the heaven filled with stars by day as by night, but they have no stai-s by day. nane lyhtmje pop |>8ejie sunnan anbpepbnysse. pe hataS senile bsej • ppam sunnan upjanje o'S sejien • ac spa ]>eali is on bocum jetealb to anum b8e5e ppani ]78epe sunnan upjanje oS f heo epc becume • ]?£ep heo ffip upfcali- on ]?am ptece fynb jetealbe peopep "j tpenci tiba • sec funne is spi'Se mycel- eall ppa bpab Leo is • ])3ss ])e bee fecja'S- ppa eall eop'San ymbbpyppc • ac heo jnnjS up spy'Se unbpab- pop |?am ]?e heo ip ppiSe peop^ ppam iipum jesihjmm. ^Ic Ipin^ ^ ]ye hvc^ pypp by-g. j^e hir ])e Itesse ^inj5. ])e majon ]7eah^ lipfO'Sepe cocna- pan be hype leoman f heo uulytel is.

We hight it one Day popularly o 1 ' I and techni- day from sunrise to even, but notwithstanding m books caiiy. it is accounted as one day from the rising of the sun till it again come to the place from which it before arose; in that period are counted four and twenty hours. The sun is very mickle, all as broad is it, according to what books say, as the whole compass of the earth; but to us Sun larger r p than the earth, it seems very unbroad, since it is very lar from our sight. Every thing the further off it is, the less it seem- eth. We maj' however know by its light that the sun is not little. As soon as it mounts up, it shineth over all earth alike, and envelopes the breadth of all the earth. So likewise the stars, which seem to us little, are very Stars large, broad; and from the mickle space which is between them and us, they seem to our sight very small. They would not however be able to send any light to earth from the lofty heaven if they were so minute as to our eyes they seem. Well, the moon and all the stars receive light from Lunar and the mickle sun, and none of them hath any light but to^n-owed^^*^ from the suns light; and although the sun at night time sliine under earth, yet its light on one side of the earth mounts up and lighteth up the stars above us; and when it riseth it overpowers the light of all the stars and also of the moon with its immense splendour. The sun be- Mystical sense, tokeneth our Healer Christ, who is the sun of righteous- ness, as said the prophet, To the men who dread the name Malachi iv. 2.. of God, to them shall arise the sun of righteousness, and healing on his wings.

None of us hath any light of any goodness, except of Christs grace, who is called the sun of true righteousness. We are able to find the first day of this world by First day of means of the day of the vernal equinox, since the day '''*^^*^°°' of the equinox is the fourth day of the formation of this world. There were three days before that day without a sun and a moon and aU stars; on the fourth day of the formation of this world the Ahnighty Creator shaped the sun, and set it in early morning in the midst of the east part, where the Sun then in its ''equator" is accounted to be, in order that it ever°°^^- in the revolutions of the year might there make even in equiUbrium the day and the night. On that same day he set the fuU moon at evening in the eastern Moon full, and quarter along with shining stars, in the course of the autumnal equinox, and he arranged the time of Easter by means of the moons first place.

Night is appointed as a rest for men upon this earth. Night. In the heavenly mansions to be sure no night is known, but there is perpetual light without any darkness. Our The cause of earthly night in fact cometh of the shadow of the earth ; when the sun in evening goeth under this earth, there is the broadness of the earth between us and the sun, so that we have not the lighting up of his ray, till he mounts up again at the other end. Indeed, though it may seem wonderful, this mundane night is nothing but the shadow of the earth betwixt the sun and mankind. Secular philosophers have said, that the shadow mounteth up tiU it cometh to the upward air, and then the moon when it is full sometimes runneth upon the shadow aloft, and turneth coloui- or becometh wholly swart, in as much as it hath not the light of the sun while it runneth over the point of the shadow, till the rays of the sun again light it up.

Yet it Cometh forward in front of the sun, when it is fired up by it. It always tumeth its back to the sun, that is, the round end which is lighted up.

The moon is indeed in some measure swifter than the sun; yet notwithstand- ing, with its swiftness, it would not be able to run under all the twelve constellations within seven and twenty days and eight hours, if it ran so high us as the sun doth. The course of the sun is very roomy. Orbit of the since it is very high up, and the course of the moon is very narrow, since of all heavenly bodies it runneth the nethermost and handiest to the earth. Now mayest thou understand that a man who goeth about a house hath a less circuit to perform, than he who goeth about all the borough ; so also the moon hath run its race earlier in the lesser circuit, than the sun hath on the greater.

In other njoords, the moons. time the moon takes in completing a revolution from conjunction with the sun to conjunction with the sun again, is greater than the time it takes in making a revolution from one given meridian to the same again. In the month from conjunction to conjunction are counted nine and twentj^ days and twelve hours, this is the lunar month ; and its year, from meridian to meridian, is that it runneth under all tlie twelve constellations. In some years the moon is twelve How many times renewed from the holy Easter time till Easter [0°°" again, and in some years it is thirteen times renewed.

The lengthening day is cold, since the earth ^^^^^^^^^^ is i^ervaded by the wintry cold, and it is long before it is warmed again. The shortening day hath milder weather than the lengthening day, since the earth is all warmed with the summer heat, and is not so soon cooled again. Well, the wintry moon goeth Of the shadow cast by the further north than the sun goeth in summer, and moon. for that reason hath a shorter shadow than the sun.

OF THE EQUINOXES. It is tlie tale of many men that the lenten equinox On the day OH wliicli the belongeth rightly to the eighth day before the kalends sun crosses the of April, that is the mass day of Mary. But aU the ^^^^^^0°! Easterns and Egyptians, who are best acquainted with arithmetic, reckoned that the lenten equinox is cer- tainly on the twelfth day before the kalends of April, that is on the mass day of St. Benedict. Again, in the rule which ascertaineth for us about the holy Easter season, it is ordered that the holy Easter day be never celebrated before the lenten equinox be gone, and the length of the day exceeds that of the night. Observe now hence, if it were rightly equinox on the mass day of Mary, that that day would never fall beyond the Easter day, as it oft doth. It is needful for us that The church we hold the holy Easter tide by the true rule, never ^X'^f^J^if) before equinox and overcoming of darkness. Hence we equinox, say truly that the equinox is, as we before said, on the twelfth day before the kalends of April, as the faithful advisers have set it down, and as also sure day measure- ments teach us. Also the other three seasons, that is the summer solstice and the winter one, and the har- vest equinox, are to be adjusted by this equinox, so that they be holden some days before the octave of the kalends. In fact the day of the equinox is one to all VOL. IIT.

In one place they are longer, in another shorter, according to the shadowing of the earth and the circular motion of the sun in the ecliptic. The earth stands in the likeness of a pine nut, and the sun glideth about it siu-ely by the appointment of God, and on the region on which it shineth there is day through One hemi- its lightening up, and the region which it quits is nateTby^t^^' overspread with darkness till it again approach thither, ^S^it- Now the roundness of the earth, and the circuitous course of the sun, is a limitation, so that the day is not in every place of equal length. In India then its shadow turneth in summer southward, and in winter northward. Again, in Alexandiia the sun goeth right The obliquity up vertically on the summer solstice at midday, and there ecliptic is no shadow on any side. This same occurreth also in varied some other places. An island hight Meroe, which is the °^^y^- dwelling of the-^Ethiopians; in that island the longest day in the year hath twelve hom-s and little more than half an hour. In the same part of the world there is a city hight Alexandria, where the longest day hath fourteen hours. In Italy, that is the kingdom of the Romans, the longest day hath fifteen hours. In England the longest day hath seventeen hours.

Thule hight Thule, an island on the north of this island, six days journey by sea, in which there is no night at the summer solstice-where at the summer solstice for six days, since the sun is then gone so lar north, is no night; that it but slightly goeth under the horizon, or ending of the earth, as if it were getting evening, and then right away aroeth up. Again, at the winter solstice . ° •' ° . . . winter solstice thei'e is no day in the aforesaid island, since the sun no day. is then gone so far south, that its rays may not reach to the laud, for the roundness of the earth. It is, however, to be observed that always between day and night together there are four and twenty hours; and on the day of the equinox, that is when the day-A-day of rota- tion is twenty and night are equally long, then either of them hath four hours, twelve hours ; as Christ himself in his gospel hath said: Are there not twelve hours in the day?

Bis is twice, sextus the sixth ; bissextus the sixth twice, inasmuch as we say in that the bissextile year now to day, the sixth before the kalends of March, and again to morrow the sixth be- fore the kalends of March, since there is ever one day and one night more in the fourth year than were in the three preceding.

If further it be lighted Evening new moon. up after the sunset or at midnight or at cock crowing, it is never accounted new, though it have three and twenty hours to pass before it come to the evening on which it was formed. About this there is often Discussions arise on this. much discussion, when the laymen will have the moon be according as they see it, and the learned hold of it by the aforesaid distinction. At whiles the moon is kindled up by the sun at day time, at whiles at night, at whiles at even, at whiles at early morning, and so on, variously ; but notwithstanding it is not new till it seeth the evening. No christian man shaU do any-Witchery by thing of witchery by the moon; if he doth his belief is naught. The longer the day is the higher is the new moon visible, and the shorter the day the . lower is the new moon seen. If the sun illuminates it from above, then it stoopeth; if it illuminates it right athwart, then it is evenly horned; if it lights it up from below, then the moon turneth upwards ; insomuch as On the posture it turneth always its back toward the sun, it is so ° ^ turned as the sun lighteth it up.

Lyft is a very thin substance ; it goeth over all the world, and mounteth up pretty near to the moon; on it fly fowls as fishes swim in water. None of them would be able to fly, were it not for the air Air. which beareth them ; nor hath any man or beast any breath except through the air. The breath which we blow out and draw in is not our soul, but is the air in which we live in this mortal life ; as fishes die if Necessary to they are out of the water, so also each earthly body dieth if it be deprived of the air.

We read in the book which is hight the Liber Kegum, that the prophet Elias prayed to God Elijah, for the perversenesses of the people, and that no rain came over the earth for three years and a half. Then the prophet again prayed to God that he would have mercy on his people, and give them rains and fruits of the earth. Then he went up upon a hill and with Prays for rain, bended knees prayed for the folk, and bid his knave the while look forth to the sea if he saw aught.

It is, as we before said, that the air draweth Evaporation up from the earth and from the sea all the moisture, which is turned to rain. It is the nature of the air that it sucketh up every moisture to it. This he who visible, willeth may see, how the moisture goeth up as with smoke or mist; and if it be salt from the sea it is turned to fresh water through the heat of the sun and the broadness of the aii'. In fact the power of God ordereth Divine order, all weathers; he who manages all things without diffi- culty. He would be not almighty, if any arranging were a difficulty to him.

The air draweth the wet to it from beneath and the heat from above, and when they are gathered in one, the heat and the wet, within the air, then they battle with one another with an awftil noise, and the fire bursteth out through lightning and damageth crops if it be more than the wet. If the wet be more than the fire, then it is of advantage. The hotter the summer is, the more thunder and lightning there is in the year. The thunders, how- ever, which lohannes in the Apokalypse was not to write of, are to be understood in a spiritual sense, and they do not at all belong to the thunder which in this air often awfully pealeth. It is loud from the broadness of the air, and harmful from the shootings of the fire. Let this narrative be thus here ended. May God help my hands. MS. GoU. Galig.

ON EPACTS AND THE LUNAR CYCLE. We may, without hai'm, explain the origin of theEpacts. epacts which are reckoned for this twelvemonth. In the twelvemonth we have three hundred and sixty- five days six hours, as we have before often said. Now it is to be understood by all who would learn the mysteries of this science how many more days there are in the solar year than in the lunar. The solar days we have just mentioned. Now I beg that my explanation may not be tedious to those who know the subject and read this; and that those who have not yet investigated the ma,tter, will think of it ac- cording to the method here pursued. By the revolu- The lunar year, tion of the moon we have three hundred and fifty four days in the year. Now I wish you to consider with noble inquisitiveness how many remain, or how many days there are in the solar year more than in the lunar. Eleven I know you will say. To these eleven add eleven; that makes twenty two. To twenty two add eleven, that makes thirty three: omit thirty, and take the three. So do for all the nineteen years. In the nineteenth year add twelve to the eighteen epacts, then you have tliirty epacts, and so none left, in Latin nullte. It is not to be forgotten that the doctors of the holy church have taught, that there are as many epacts in the year as the moon is days old on the eleventh day before the first of April (March 22). For example, in the twelfth yeai- of the cycle of nineteen years, or The lunar cycle, the lunar decennovennal cycle, you have a moon one day old on that day, and the year has one epact. CHARMS. MS.

Since the man is not alive, who ever heard that any made a talk or summoned before the hundred court, or anywhere to a folk gemot, in a market place, or in a church congregation, as long as he lived. He was without litigation in life, be he on his last bed as he may be. Do as I teach ; be thou with thine, and leave me with mine. I vearn not for thing of thine, neither lathe nor land, nor soke » nor socn.b Neither thou needest me, nor do I mind thee at all. The angel brought this writing from heaven and laid it on the altar of St. Peter at Eome. He who sings this prayer in a church, for him it shall be equivalent to all the Psalms of the Psalter. And he who sings it at the day of his death, for him it shall be equivalent to attendance at the eucharist. And it is also valid for every strange evil, either flying, that is, atmospheric, or travelling, that is, epidemic. If the occasion arise indoors, sing this over water and give it to the sick to di-ink, he will soon amend. If it be out of doors, sing it on fresh butter, and smear the body with that: amendment will soon appear in him. And sing the same prayer at night before you go to bed, then God will shield you against bad dreams, which come on men at night time.

This eye salve is good for annoyance of every sort in the eyes, for pin in the eyes, and for web, and for dimness, and for wateriness, and for insects, and for dead flesh. (Take a) quite new crock; let it be set in the earth up to the brim and these worts, minced very small, be put into the crock, and on the top of these grout (?) or some liquid, that they may be thoroughly moistened; that is to say, bishopwort of two kinds, and glap, and ribwort, and yarrow, and cinqfoil, daisey, and sinful], and brown hove. After that let a brazen vessel, a dish or bowl, be scoured in the lower part, till it quite shine; smear all the shining surface lightly with virgin honey. Then put this upon the crock, so that the vapour may strike upwards, then within thi-ee days wet thy finger with thy spittle and spatter the dish by little and little. And thence take a good eye salve. Let virgin honey, and wine, and juice of rue be mingled together, and in equal quantities be put into a copper vessel, or a latten or a brazen one. Thence take a good eye salve. For blains. Roots of sea mallow sodden, pound them, and add old lard grease; lay to the blains. For head ache. Eat, when fasting, root of clote, raw. Again, pound betony and rub the temples and the top of the head. For breaking. Take groats of oats and sour cream and good oakdrink together, and lay thereon dust of harts hom and dust of oat bran, and eat it with the pith of the oats. y^. contra cotidianas febres Sume de urticis mani- pulum • -j stans flexo [genu] contra orientem bic.

To have given only the results at which glossaries ■arrive would have been to leave the whole subject in the confusion in which it has been so long involved; and, if our knowledge is to be advanced at all, it must be permitted to reject absurd and foolish statements, even though robed in the venerable garb of some sort of antiquity. In collecting the passages in which the various names of plants occur out of the genuine and trustworthy books edited in this series, it has been ever present to my memory, watchfully to test the lists of worts as they are prescribed, knowing that the appearance in the same list of two names supposed to belong to the same plant, would necessarily throw suspicion upon one of them. And I rejoice to be able to say that this test has never proved the glossary already given to be in error, while the reconsideration of every separate article has resulted only in reaching, for a few names, a more cleai- and definite conclusion. The failure of the glossaries lies in misinterpreting Latin words, or what came to them in a Latin form, an^ it can be no matter * of surprise that their failures are many. The plants Vergilius mentions are not yet satisfactorily identified. *4 310 SAXON NAMES OF WORTS AND TREES. The eiTors of the glossaries themselves are so numerous, and the further errors of the editors so senseless, as to make these authorities wholly useless without close and toilsome examination. I have already observed that Anchusa, S.jx'^va-dt, became in the hands of the penmen Annuosa; so one finds Gni sacer placed under G, for Ignis sacer; Bena under B, for Avena ; Mula under M, for Inula; with hundreds of others which are riddles. A preposterous editorial blunder is pointed out under ebpoc, and these errors, where the MSS. have been com- pared, are too numerous to be 'worth more than this passing notice: lappa becomes under such treatment lawza; Paranymphus, bpyhtjuma, the best man, or groomsman, becomes bpybjuma, the bridegroom, as if social and holy rites were not understood in early days; May then, written mi]>e, becomes miwe ; and whole lines are omitted and transposed. In very early writing p. and n are scarcely distinguishable, and have been sometimes misread, as in gl. MM, first column, " abilina, hputu," the meaning of wliich is Avellana, hnutu. It is much to be desired that all recoverable Enghsh names of plants could be registered ; for myself I have been collecting for some years, and should be glad to communicate with as many as possible on the subject.

Arbutus, and that among water plants the marsh cinqfoil, -whose leaflets are like those of the arbute, might be the plant. Linne calls it comarus palustris, but from his own account of his nomen- clature the coincidence seems accidental. Hemera, in Gl. Ho£6n., should be gra- tiana not "gentiana."

Yet our best authority, the founder, after the wort gatherers, of this science, Theo- frastos, speaks expressly of "Ooi which have the fruit round, as in pirus, or rather sorbus aucuparia. " They differ," says he, " in the fruits; some produce a " round, some a prolonged, some an egg " shaped fruit." Thus his definition is not limited to the pints or sorbus domes- tied, but includes the aucuparia. At the same time he excludes the pirus aria, P. torminalis, and any other such by his strict description of the leaf. The "Oa " whether male or female has a leaf with " the leafstalk long and sinew like; the " leaflets spring in rows from the sides of " the leafstalk, like fins, so that' the leaf " being one, it has lobes divided down to " the leafstalk; moreover the several leaf- " lets are distant from each other a some- " what considerable distance; and the " tree sheds its leaves not partially, but " the whole finny series at once." .... " All have, at the extremity of the leaf- " stalk, one odd leaflet, so that the whole " number of leaflets makes an odd mmi- « ber." Theof. ed. Schneider, p. By these words this author draws a dis- tinction between the service and pear families, which modem observers have overruled. Yet it is clear, that by ancient authorities, the rowan tree was a service tree, as well as the rare pirus domestica, and the whitten tree was not. [Sissas, C.D. 406. = vol.

Menologium, fol. 111b. And about seven days after the feast of St. James, there comes to town, adorned with summer beauty, the Weedmonth, August. It brings to mighty nations Lammas day. We learn from Lchd. vol. III. p. 292, that hlapneesse derives its name from the blfissing of bread on that day. No trace of a benison of bread is to be found in the Tridentine nor in the Salisbury missal for either the first or the second of August. A work called " Thesaurus Benedictionum a Gelasio di " Cilia," Ratisbon, 1756, informs us that bread is blessed according to modern Roman custom on the feast of St. Agatha (Feb. 5), of St. Blaise (Feb. 3), St. Erhard (Feb. 9), St. Nicolaus of Tolen- tino (Sept. 10), and in Cccna Domini (the Thursday in Holy Week). The Saxon rituals with which I am acquainted, including the splendid Benedictional of the Duke of Devonshire, published in the Archajologia, vol. xxiv., and many un- JMaj-intBSse—cont. published portions of the Saxon brevia- ries and missals, including one fragment, which I found in the binding of a monas- tic chartulary, give no distinct informa- tion on the subject. The Durham Ritual, p. 99, contains a form for blessing the first bread of the harvest, since the words mention " creaturam istam panis novi," and "abundans in annxmi alimentum," nourishment for the year. The kalends of August (p. 63), however, have no di- rections for the use of this collect. The Promptorium Parvulorum puts Lammas Day on the feast of St. Peter ad Vincula, which is Aug. 1; and Mr. Albert Way in his note remarks that " la the Sarum " Manual it is called Benedictio novo- " rum fructuum," but the Sarum Manual furnishes no date nor mark of time for reading that collect, which also differs from the Durham prayer, and is less like the occasion.

III. p. 78) was born in St. Patricks time, at Faugher, two miles north of Dundalk, of Dubtach and Brocessa. She received the vest- ments of a nun from Macaille, one of the bishops disciples of St. Patrick, and founded the abbey of Kildare in the plain of the Liflfey, about twenty miles from Dublin. Here, with a bishop, who ruled other Irish bishops, she was regarded as head and preeminent over all abbesses of the Scots. Ordination of men and consecration of buildings were, with her, essentials of Christian discipline, and even of salvation. (See Todd, St. Patrick, p. 13.) According to the four masters and the Annals of Ulster she died A.D. 525. She was patroness of Ireland, and likened to the Virgin Mary. An ancient Irish hymn is published by Colgan (Trias Thaumaturgus, vol. II. p. 515), in which her praises and miracles are recounted. The Scholiast states this hymn to have been written by St. Brogan, and there- fore about 520. Another ancient hymn in Latin has been published by Colgan Brigita, or St. Bride—cont. and Dr. Todd. Her name is taken from a heathen goddess bpi^ib, of which there were three, the goddesses of physic, smiths, and poets. (O'Donovan.) In this present volume, p. 78, her ancilljE are mentioned. In the extant lives the names of women associated with her own are Darlugdacha, Hinna or Kinna, Daria, Bria.

The state- ment that he was a nephew of St. Patrick is questionable ; it is more probable that he belonged to a somewhat later age, and that a scholiast who states him to have been a disciple of St. Mugint, at Whitern in Galloway, not earlier than A.D. 500, is correct. The scholiast writes thus : " Finnen, of Magh Bile, went to | Eehhoc, Saint—cont. " Mugint for instruction, and Eioc and " Talmach, and several others with him. " Drust was king of Britain then, and " had a daughter, Drustice was her " name, and he gave her to Mugint to " be taught to read, and she fell in love " with Eioc, and she said to Pinnian, " I will give thee all the books which " Mugint has, that thou mayest tran- " scribe them, if thou wilt give me Eioc " in mari'iage.

I HAVE sought permission to print the following hitherto ine^ited fragmeiits, lest no future opportunity should occur of rescuing them from the obscurity of their manu- script condition and the danger of destruction by fire. They are in the first place proofs that, besides the Chi'onicle, other and independent native histories in the English tongue were composed and cared for; next, they are earlier records of the events they narrate than any others now known; and lastly, they speak not in an in- flated and impm-e Latinity, but in the dignity and simple grace of the Old English language. The first fragment, relating to the endowment of the St. Mildri«s, Abbey of St. Mildred, in the Isle of Tanet, ofiers no new facts to the historian. Its narrative is to be found in the Latin of WiUiam of Malmesbury, of Simeon of Dur- ham, of Thomas of Elmham, of Florence of Worcester, in the life of St. Mildred by Goscelin, and in other places. Strange as the tale is, it seems in its main features Tale probably purely historical. In the Corpus copy of the Chronicle, under the year 640, is an interlinear sentence about Ead- bald, king of Kent. hsepbe cpejene j'unu Epmenpeb •j Epcenbejiht. -j j^ej* Epcenbejiht jxixobe reftep hif j:£e- bejx. -j Epmenped jefCjiynbe tpe^en j-unu ];a j-ySSan pupSan ^emaptipobe op -(Sunope. He had two sons, Erraenred and Ercenherht, and this Ercenberht reigned after his father, and Ermenred begat two son^, who ivere subsequently martyred by Thunor. In a charter of Edward the Confessor the story is recited, with Gods judgment upon Dunor.a I am indebted to Mi\ Snell for the information that this interlineation of the C.C.C. chronicle is in red ink, and has been -written with a scratchy pen, squeezed as much as possible into the blank space between the lines and at the end of a line of the old writing, and (that not giving room enough) is continued at the foot of the page. The word pej- is doubtful, and might be, as it has been, read ]>e^. The murder was committed, says Goscelin, at Hestrie, Eastry, near Sandwich. This author makes the archbishop and Hadrianus move first in the exposure and exaction of penalty for the crime ; " habito concilio pontificali et " populari regem arguunt parricidii." The archbishop he names is Theodorus, while the text before ns gives us Deusdedit. Eorcenberht and Deusdedit died both of them on the prid. Id. lulias,^ or on 14 July 664. It was then not Deusdedit who brought the royal crime before the lords of Kent, but Theodorus, and the year may well have been, as is alleged, 670. A Unch stm Thomas of Elmham in his work drew a map of the existing marks island of Tanet, with the devious cou.rse of the hind tie line. marked out upon it, and reports the existence of a limi- tary line, called once " Domnevse meta," and afterwards " meta sanctse Mildredse." Hasted" tells us that the forty eight ploughlands thus ceded to the Abbey con- tain ten thousand acres of the best land in Kent, and are bounded by a linch or broad bank dividing the two capital manors of Minster and Monkton. An abbess Among the tests which modern sceptical criticism Domna or might apply to the narrative here before us is one de- rivable from the name Donaneva. The queens name was Gap, and it is Latinized in the charters as ^bba; from this by prefixing the Latin domna or dompna for domina is obtained Domneva, Dompneva. It wiU be " CD. 900. 1 ' Htistads Kent, vol. iv. p. 315. b Beda, II.A. iv. 1. I readily asserted tliat to prefix domna to a Saxon ladys name in 670 is a proof of falsity, and it will be added that this story must be classed with other Augustinian forgeries. But there is no pretence that this narrative is contemporary; it may have been written three hundred and fifty years after the foundation of the Abbey, and yet be historical. The Eule of St. Benedict gives that title to an abbess, for of an abbot it says : " Abbas vero, " quia Christi vices agere creditur, Domnus et Abbas " vocetur."a Whatever were the subtleties practised by the pens Forged deeds of the monks of Canterbury in defending themselves J^^^ against unreasonable demands, it is clear that their pos- session of their dwellings, their cells and kitchens and refectories, and the dedication of their churches to Chris- tian worship, were evidence beyond all parchments and all inked lines, of the early grants of these premises to such uses. If the Canterbury original charters were destroyed by the Danes or by fire, almost as much fault lay with those who demanded in the imperious tones of superior authority the production of such deeds, as with the monks who, when hard driven, forged, to defend the right, a falsarious document. In the same way the existence of the Minster and of its boundary linch, inclosing its ten thousand acres, are a more powerful evidence to the historical character of this story, than the united credibUity of all the chroniclers. Thomas of Elmham, and others who foUow him, are Thunors low. much mistaken when they read jpunope^ hleap as J;uno- Jier hleap, and interpret it as puteus, pit; it was Low, miloch, and is rightly read by Goscelin as Agger vastus. Among the charters b produced from the muniment a charter not cnests ot St. Augustmes, is one which puts a difierent ^'"^ ' story. «Rcgula S. P. Benedicti, cap, I "Thomas of Elmham, p. 230. I Cod.DiDl.x. Cod. Dipl. X. C 0 2 though not necessarily contradictory face upon the grant of land. In it Os-wynus, rex Cantuariorum, grants to the abbess ^bba, that is Gape, " terram, quae sita est " insula Thanet, xviii. manentes continentem, quam ali- " quando Yrmenredus possidebat." This says that part of the land had once belonged to Eormenred. But the entire charter must be rejected as a poor forgery. There never was a king of Kent such as this Oswynus. Thomas of Elmham himself makes him the same as Oswin of NorShymbria, and out of that personality he was formed. Mr. Kemble ^ puts the same facts in a different view, as editor of charters, which he must not pronounce, if he would edit them, to be utterly worthless. He says, " Oswine, rex Cantuariorum, if there ever were such a " person, is known to us from these charters alone ; and " so little known to us from them, that the compiler " of the chartulary in which they are found, confounds " him with St. Oswine of Northumberland, and notes " discrepancies in the dates upon that supposition." It is related by Beda,b that on the vacancy of the primacy by the death of Deusdedit, a consultation was held by Oswin, then Bretwald, or the great monarch who made his influence everywhere felt throughout this island, and by Ecgberht, king of Kent, as to the appointment of his successor. Thus he becomes a king, historical in Can- terbuiy, and a thin ghost to figure in a forgery of a grant of land at a distant day. In the second fragment Mildri« receives the kiss of peace from " aU the societies," words which make it probable that Dame Eafe ruled a monastery both of monks and nuns, as ^j^eldri^ did at Ely. Ritual used in The first leaf of the second fragment relates to the admitting admission of St. Mildred, as a nun, to the abbey ot bt. Mary in Tanet, by her mother Eva, eape, the abbess. "Codex Dipl. vol. Lpref. p. xxii. | H.E. HI. xxix. According to established ritual, this office of consecration belongs to a bishopj and Goscelinus tells us she was so dedicated by Archbishop Theodorus, though the name of tliat prelate does not appear in the portion of the ser- vice remaining to us here. While, indeed, of all the service, the benediction most fitly and regularly belonged to the bishop, and if from any cause he took no other part, yet this especially would be uttered by him, it is surprising that we find it spoken by Domna Eafe, the abbess. Martene, ii. 526, has printed thirteen various offices for the admission of monks or nuns, and among them one from a pontifical of Ecgbert, archbishop of York, 734 to 766 A.D. ; a Saxon office, " Consecratio " virginis," is found in MS. Cott. Vesp. D. i. fol. 78; in MS. Cott. Claud. A. iii. fol. 99b. is another, with a rubric " Si episcopo visum fuerit canatur," shewing that the bishop was present. With none of these do I see much resemblance in our text. From Calmets Commentary^ on the Eegula Benedicti we learn that in the service of the institution of abbots these words occur: " Con- " firma hoc Deus quod operatus es in nobis," with Gloria. Something very like this occurs in Domna Eafes ser- vice. Generally, however, not only the Saxon, but the ancient liturgies have less in common one with another, less handed down from the earliest ages, than in om* prepossessions we should be willing to expect.^ The information about the building of the priory afc Priory in Minster in Sheppey continuing for thirty years is new, Sheppey. and it is by no means easily reconcileable with established dates. Thirty years may fairly be reckoned from the profession of Seaxburh in 669 till her death in 699, but the words of the Saxon text go beyond that. As she retired from Kent to Ely in 679, and Hlo^here suc- ■works give, is described in H.A.B. vol. II. p. 317. Leofric's missal re- quires a Dishop. - vol. 11. p. 295 ot the Latin edition. A service of an admission of a novice, besides those the ordinary rEEFACJi. ceeded to the throne in G73, her purchase of an estate from him wherewith to endow the prior)', must natu- rally be placed between those years: and then till her death we could not reckon thirty years. But if we suppose two periods of thirty years, then the second, which is mentioned, may end with the accession of Hlo'Shere, and her marriage would be fixed to 044 or 643. Asser mentions The destruction of the priory mentioned in the text is priory ^^^^"^ also dwelt upon by Asser, " Anno Dominicse incarna- " tionis DCCCLI primum hyemaverunt Pagani " in insula, quo3 vocatur Scheapieg, quod interpretatur " insula ovium : quae sita est in Tamesi flumine inter " Eastseaxum et Cantuarios, sed ad Cantium propior est, " quam ad Eastseaxum, in qua monasterium optimum " constructum est." The priory survived the ravages of the Danes, and some of its prioresses are recorded in an obituary book of the priory of nuns at Davyngton, near Rochester. This obituary exists in manuscript in the Cottonian collection, but the days and months, not the years of the deaths of the prioresses of Sheppey are re- corded. It has lately been ascertained to be a Daynton or Davyngton MS, by Sir Frederic Madden. . The third piece is a partly historical postscript to iEhelwolds f j'c^j_T, TL-r,i accountof king bishop ^Jjclwolds paraphrase ot bt. Benedicts ixiile; Eadgar. -j. yaluable as the contemporary statement of the views and measures of those, king Eadgar, archbishop Dunstan, and bishop Myelwold himself, who drove out the secular or canonical clergy from the great ecclesiastical foundations, and in their stead substituted Benedictine monks, who should, if human nature could be sublimed into pure spirituality, live better and holier lives than their predecessors. ■girth of iE]7elwold, a man of great energy and a zealous iE>el\vold, church partisan, was born at Winchester of religiotis parents, who " flourished " in the time of Edwaud the Elder (901 to 925). His mother, while she bore him in her womb, is said to have dreamed that a banner reaching to the skies, inclining downwards towards the earth, enveloped herself in its folds and fringes, and then rose again, steady, to the sky. She dreamed again that a golden eagle springing from her mouth overspread with its wings the whole city of Winchester, and then dis- appeared in the clouds. These tales, if they have no other value, testify to the estimation in which the saint, prelate, and potentate, to whom they relate, was held by his admirers. We are told also, and doubtless are veiy wrong not to believe, that his nurse bearing him in her arms one day proposed to go to the church for her devotions, but was detained by such a storm of rain that she wa.s unable to reach the doors. Bending over the child with holy thoughts she suddenly found herself seated within the church, carried thither by some un- known agency to her utter amazement. ^]7elwold, as a boy, neglected not his studies, nor His ordination, were they wasted on a sluggish soul. When grown, he was introduced to the royal court of iE]?ELSTAN (925 to 940), and by the kings command received the tonsm'e, and was soon after made priest by j^lLf heah, bishop of Winchester (934 to 951 A.D.). ^Ifheah, like many others in those times of unquestioning faith, was endued with the spirit of prophecy, and he said of three whom he had that day ordained, that of them two would be- come bishops, one in Worcester and then in Canterbury, (this was Dunstan), another would succeed himself in his episcopal dignity (this was ^j^elwold), and the third led by the slippery blandishments of pleasure would perish by a miserable end. ^|?elstan, who was the third, wanted to know whether he himself were to be one of the two bishops: he received a rebuke for a reply, so we conclude iEj^elstan to have been a backslider.. When Dunstan became abbot of Glastonbury, Mjyel- His profession, wold followed him, and there, from him, accepted the tnonaatic di-ess. He continued his studied in that cele- brated abbey, learning grammar and metre ; that is to say, acquii-ing a sufficient knowledge of Latin in prose and verse, with the power of writing in that wide spread tongue: he also diligently perused the Catholic authors, that he might be able to give a reason for the faith that was in liim, and decide rightly on affairs. Dunstan made him dean of the foundation. It is also related of him that he tilled the abbey garden, and prepared fruits and pulse for the table of the brethren. According to the usual monastic discipline, as long as he was a simple brother, he would be told off in his turn for the various duties of the house : if if fell to his lot to be one of the hebdomadarii coquinse, he would have to take his share in the labours of the kitchen; if it came round to him to be hebdomadarius in read- ing, he was to perform his part in reading and singing the daily service of the church ; or for his week obeyed the orders of the horderer, or steward, and sweated in the hayfield, the fallow, or the garden. To tEJjEL- STAN succeeded (940 A.D.) Eadmund, and to Eadmund Eadeed (946 A.D.); while iEj^elwold was ripening into a scholar, and a man of the world, and proposing, for his better proficiency in all that adorns a' lite- rary and inquisitive mind, to visit lands beyond sea. The kings mother, Eadgife, persuaded her son to keep the young man at home, and he gave him the half ruined monastery at Abingdon. The active churchman ferreted out some old documents, with which he con- vinced the king and his nobles that a large part of the possessions of the monastery had been seized, and had now fallen into the hands of the Icing. Having proved his case to the satisfaction of the highest court in the kingdom, the land he claimed was reconveyed to the abbey, 955 A.D. The charter expressly says it was the town of Abingdon which was thus restored, having been taken from the abbey by King iElfi-ed, pro victoria, qua functus est de Danis super Esseduno victis,a in 871 A.D. But since that loss the abbey had received such and so numerous grants that it is diffi- cult to believe it poor, though it may have been ruinous. If we pass over all the private charters in the Abingdon volume, and they are numerous, we still find grants to the abbey, of lands at Dumbleton and FleforS, 930 A.D., of Uffington about 931 A.D., of lands at Swin- ford, 931 A.D., of lands at Sandford, 931 A.D., of twenty hides, about two thousand acres, at Hinxey, Seacoiu't, and Witham in 955. And as the grants before the time of .Alfred were large, and the establishment great, we may regard the terms used by the various Writers as relative. ^j^elwold, as abbot of Abingdon, could, not begin Becomes abbot, building tiU the reign of Eadgar, but in three years he completed his church, and a splendid b one it was, in the name of the Virgin Mary. His monks were fifty in number, with some, Osgar, Foldbriht, and Friwe- gar, he brought from Glastonbury accompanying him, Ordbriht from Winchester, and Eadric from London. Osgar he immediately sent to Fleury, to be further in- structed in the observance of St. Benedicts rule, and to fetch home a copy. Before his church was dedicated Made bishop, he was raised, by Eadgar, admiring his vigour, to the bishopric of Winchester (963 A.D.). Remembering the text " Lord, I have loved the beauty of thy house," c he enriched the new temple with requisite ornaments : he gave it a golden chalice of great weight, three crosses of silver and gold, four feet long, afterwards broken up in the time of Stephens civil war, textures threaded with pure silver and gold, precious stones, thuribles, vials, basins, candlesticks, a silver table worth three hundred pounds, which remained unhurt till the time « n.A.13. p. 50. Ma!j»hc, he says himself. ' Psahn XXV. 8 v.—Domino dilexi decorum domus tuaj. of Abbot Vincent, 1130 A.D.; it was carved with the Virgin Mary (?) and twelve apostles, and was placed over the altar; and four bells, two smaller made by himself and two larger by St. Dunstan. He also made a wheel with little bells to be rung on festivals. Some monks of Jumieges at a later period stole part of these valuables, and carried them away into Normandy. Here we read of a man zealously devoted to his profession, and recognize the spirit which now animates men like him. He allowed his monks at each meal as much bread as would balance sixty shillings, and so much cheese, as that an Abingdon pound of it lasted ten days. He defined their refreshment, as was customary in re- ligious houses, that none of these holy men, tempted by the devil, should eat to surfeit; every day was placed on table a generale, or dish for all, such aa fish, or toasted cheese, not conveniently brought up in portions; for each man two messes of soup or broth, and one pittance or separate plateful. He permitted in the refectory a dish or tray of dishes of a steAv mixed with meat. He increased the quantity of food in albis," when the service of the mass was performed " in albis," and " in cappis " when it was celebrated in copes. Chasubles and This consuetudinale reads as if " in albis " signified in copes. white chasubles, for the phrase is often in opposition to " in cappis." The alb was the dress of all in the com- munity, but the celebrant of the mass was always robed " honorifice." ^ In a later custumal of Abingdon ^ not printed in Mr. Stevensons Appendix, the priest whose weekly turn it is, must chant the mass " in alba casula," besides wearing the usual alb.

On six great feasts they had wine. These rules seem fit and moderate ; yet the devil would often suggest discontent, rebellion, and a debauch to some of those reciiises. -i^]j7elwold was a great " sedificator;" we may presume. He was a great not only builder of sacred edifices, but their architect also. In superintending his works a beam fell on him, and broke nearly all his ribs on one side. He recovered. Before the dedication of his ne^y church at Abingdon, As bishop, promotion fell to his lot. The king, Eadgar, whose zeal for the increase of monasticism was equal to his own, gave him the bishopric of Winchester, always a great and gorgeous post. He used his preferment, power, and wealth for the promotion of the object he had at heart. About the marriage of the clergy a ceaseless contest was ever prolonged; popes, bishops, and synods thundered, prosecuted, and persecuted; but the secular clergy were still married men. The advo- cates of the monastic system, changing their ground, attacked clerical husbands in a new way: monks must have no wives ; their vows, their cloistered society, the very nature of things forbad it; and monks should drive the seculars out of all clerical employment. Ex- perience has fully shewn that a widely extended system of monasticism is a mistake in all respects, for the state, for the church, for mankind, for the men themselves. ^)7elwold perhaps did not embrace this error, for men enougli might be found well suited to fill the monasteries he founded. Monks before him were only found, after the troubles from the Danes, in Glastonbury and in " Artocreas. This dietary may be found in II.A.B, vol. 11. p. 279.

Some among such accusations proceed from the copious writer JSlfric, who knew Winchester and iEj»elwold well; but he was, like the king, Dunstan, and the bishop, a partisan, strong and. unreserved, of celibacy in the clergy. ^Ej^elwold himself in the text now printed speaks only of "foulnesses " and "the aforesaid guilts; and we see what the real crime of the canons was; they had wives. Their enemies were ardent, godfearing, and powerful men, and there may have been some non- resident prebendary and some neglect of the ornaments of the cathedral; so a tempest of indictments and censures showered down. The married canons were ejected (764 A.D.); the chapter was then governed directly by the bishop, and he was ^J^elwold; they might appeal to the archbishop perhaps, but he was Dunstan ; they might send a wailing cry to the king, but he was Eadgar. Thus the mitred head and crosiered hand, the prayerful, zealous, bounteous servant of his Master dealt with lus helpless victims. » The lives of iEJ^el-wold, and the [ " tion " allowed, as W.M. says, -was Annalcs de Wintonia.

They stood in some hesitation at the entrance of the church, and heard the chanting reach the words, " Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice unto Mm with " reverence ; lay hold of instruction lest ye perish from " the right way."''' Full of a conviction of their own superior sanctity, they cried, " Why tarry we at the " doors ? See, we are exhorted to enter." ^ The king, at one with the invading bishop, sent his Option allowed attendant, Wulfstan, with his orders to the seculars to *° clergy, withdraw, or to become monks themselves. To the honour of these Englishmen it is related, that they refused, since, of course, the condition implied separa- tion from their wives, submission to unjust power, and a censure on their former lives. This part of the story contradicts the statement that they were not resident. For some reason imknown three agreed to live the life of rule, Eadsine, Wulfsine, and Wilstan.

The king and iE|>elwold soon drove out the clergy from the New Minster, and put monks in their places, with at their head Mpelgar, their abbot, afterwards archbishop of Canterbury, 988 to 990 A.D. Into the nunnery he also introduced his Benedictines, and made the abbess ^jjeldri-S. The king by charter arranged some conflicting claims of these houses.^ The new abbot of Abingdon was his old familiar Osgar.'' Of untiring energy, iEjjelwold next turned his eyes to the re-establishment of the monastery at Ely. He bought by exchange from the king " the minster land " at Ely, of sixty hides ;c the king himself added Mel- deburne, Earmingaford, and NorSwold, and they esta- blished there manyd monks. In one of the Saxon charters*' which recites these grants, the king declares his determination to restore everywhere the deserted monasteries, to plant them with monks and mynchens under the rule of St. Benedict. Ely was no longer a double foundation, men and women, but became of monks only, under abbot Brihtno'S, a disciple of the bishops. Many additions were soon made to the es- tates of Ely, and they bore their jfruit by and by in the noble edifice to the honour of God which aU rearard with admiration.

While so employed, he wrote in fair characters, and ornamented with many ecclesiastical illu- minations, a Benedictional for the bishops use. It was the custom during the service, and not as with ns at the end of it, for the bishop in his place to offer up a prayer for a blessing, and this volume was written and ornamented by Godemann for -^j^elwolds use. ^ King Eadgar established monks at Chertsey, where At Chertsey he appointed Ordbriht abbot, and at Milton Kings, which had Cyneweard set over it. Both these were older foundations. ^J'elwolds name is not connected with the changes. More than forty monasteries and nunneries were placed on a new footing in this reign. Our bishop was " a secretis to King Eadgar, power- M\>e\-wolii an ful in speech and business, and preached as remember- active preacher, iug the command in Isaiah, " Cry and cease not!" St. SwiShuns popularity as a miracle worker began in his time, and was of value to ^]?elwold. MWio oddly observes in his life of SwiShun, that, till miracles be- gan at his tomb, SwiShun was not known to have been much of a saint. Our bishop, not to leave his work unfinished, was careful to visit the monasteries he had built. He had a weakness in his bowels, as Gregorius and His death, others of these abstemious men had, and in his leers. One or two cu-cumstances are related of him, as mira- cles ; the men of those days looked at such events from a different point of view from ourselves. He died in the second year of his episcopate, 984 A.D., on the first of August, " By the most nohle owners per- mission it has been printed in the twenty-fourth volume of the Archa;o- logia. This phrase shall be explained further on. 41G PRBPAOB. Lives of him. Translates the rule of St. Benedict. A minister of the king. A life of this prelate by Wulstan has been printed by Mabillon, and in the Acta Sanctorum for Aug. 1. It differs little from a life by ^Ifric, published in the history of Abingdon, His translation into English of the rule of Benedict was made by command of Eadgar, and he received for it from the king the manor of Southburne.^ The ver- sion is copious and illustrative, not literal, such as brings the translator as well as the author before the readers mind. It has never yet been published. ^]?elwold was keeper of the rolls to King Eadgar. This seems so impetuous an assertion that I have left it over to this point. The life which has ^Elfrics name to it, and which we may reasonably suppose to have been written by that copious and elegant author, though I dissent from those who make him an archbishop, says M]>elwo\d was " a secretis " to the king, That expression may be pulled into many meanings, but its true sense is classical. Suetonius, if my memory fail me not, says that some one was " a manu" to the emperor Vespasianus, and the sense of this expression is ascertained by the low Latin ^' amanuensis." It is not however to be concluded that -^j^elwold was the kings secretary or amanuensis, for his prelatical rank and con- stant occupation forbad that; but the term " a secretis " means that his department concerned the kings "secreta;" nor may that be interpreted as one might be ready to explain it in the reign of Charles the Second, for ^l^elwold was not to be groom of the chambers, and Eadgars life had been reformed, as the bishop himself tells us ; nor yet does it mean that he was of the privy council, for that formal body, an offshoot of Par- liament, had nothing answering to it in early times. To be " a secretis," was to be the kings confidant, and ■ a formal sense. There is a charter of Eadgars m "Thomas of Ely, p. 604. I " CD. 594. relating to the two monasteries at Winchester, the old and new foundations, in which he rearranges the possessions of each by exchanges and compensations, so as to afford to each monastery a property of its own within a ring fence, by a jiymec, an extension, a clearance, of other proprietors and claims, making a convenient estate, for its proprietor monastery. In the exchanges and purchases involved in this transaction, bishop ^j^elwold, and Eadgyfe, the kings daughter, then abbess of the nunnery, are mixed up, the object of all being to give compactness to the several properties, a very sensible and businesslike purpose. In this document occurs a word jebihhjean, which has tormented the interpreters : it has for its root the word bijole, or sometimes bijol, secret, and the sense which the context requires must be reconcileable with this derivation. Now, to enroll in a court of record, is a very suitable sense for the pas- sage, and if the kings formal confidant, his " a secretis," was the keeper of his records, all is easy. The sense then is, " Here is set forth in this writing hoiu IcAng " Eadgar gave orders to enter on record (the posses- " sions of) the monasteries at Winchester, with (ex- " changes and) extension.'' This passage then seems to prove that Eadgar had a court of record, that its title was derived from the idea " secret," and since bishop ^f>elwold was to the king " a secretis," he was the chief officer of his court of record, and Lord High Keeper of the Kolls. The Liber de Hyda and William of Malmsbury at- tribute to king Edred the enlargement of the monastic foundation at Abingdon, which we here learn on the authority of ^J?elwold himself, who was a party in the transactions, to be due to Eadgar. The Liber de Hyda also relates a tipsy royal feast at the opening of the new buildings with an inexhaustible firkiu of " hydromel." The saints iElfric mentions that wonders were wrought by the deceased saint: a fragment of an English inartyrology thus relates one:—"Sonne'Se he he tuelp ^eaji'SjEp punobe Sa eobe he In Sone jepean Ssepe ecan eabmej-j^e • Sas)- {BSelpalbef punbep psep "Ssefc he pppsec to hip liopnjBpa pumum Sa pejimja oSpuijbe he puse he hpsep hpeju hepcnobe • 'Sa ppsesn pe hij- Sejn hme pop hpon he puse bebe • 8a cuse'S he hu mealite Ic bu j-omob In heopon jehepan je hep j-ppaecan ? ? This is evidently a story of his death bed. When he had remained there Uoelve years he ^Mssed away to the joys of eternal felicity. One won- drous fact about this jE^elwold was that on his death bed he was speaJcing to some of his disciples, and then suddenly became silent, as if he were hearkening to somewhat. His attendant inquired why he so did, then said he. How can I do both at once, hear in heaven OMd talk on earth ? Words of saintly faith, and a foretaste of everlasting glory. His friend archbishop Dnnstan visited him in his last illness.

Different, however, or not, it was well to have acquired it, since our information about that line is but scanty. Historians, if they come up to the honours of that name, have complained that less has been handed down to us about the East Saxon kingdom than about any other. Essex not truly It was rather a satrapy than a kingdom, for while the independent. ]iereditary succession, traced not in one but in three lines, goes to vindicate to it the name of kingdom, yet its perpetual dependency on one more powerful state or another reduces it to a province. Thus our acquaintance ' CD. 922. witli Essex begins when it was ruled by Sreberht, and Saoberht was nepliew of iE)jelberht, tlie Bretwalda, and powerful king of Kent. -^Ejjelberht converted to Chi'isti- Follows Kent. anity makes Mellitus bishop of London, reckoned of the kingdom of Essex, and Mellitus forthwith converts the Icing of Essex, who was sub potestate positus eiusdem iEdilbercti (Bed.). Thus things arrange themselves in due subordination. But the Christian king of Kent dies, and Eadbald his successor is a heathen. The two kings of Essex follow suit; they refuse Christianity, pick a quarrel with Mellitus, and drive him off. The power of Oswig or Oswin in Nor'Shymbria was Subject to the great: he dictates his will to Kent. The king of Essex often resorted to his court on friendly terms, " cum fi-e- " quenter ad eum in provinciam Nordanhymbrorum " veniretand as Oswin, liimself a Christian, exhorted his less powerful friend to abandon idols of wood and stone, and explained to him that they could be no gods, the courtier satrap, Sigeberht, shewed his worldly wisdom in accepting a better faith ; he was baptized by St. Finan, and brought St. Cedd into Essex with liim, to establish two missionary settlements or colleges, at Ythancester, now St. Peters on the Wall, and at Tilbury. Sighere and Sebbi were dependent upon Mercia, and To Mercia, are found as witnesses of royal Mercian charters; being but counts, comites, of the greater king. As fortune favoured one or other, the limits between Essex and Kent varied. Essex submitting wisely to a superior lord was sometimes by his appointment para- mount over Kent. Thus in the time of the Mercian predominance, Swefred, son of Sebbe, of Essex, appears in a charter (CD. xiv.) playing the part of Mercian viceroy in Kent; Sebbe his father being present and adding his signatui-e to tlie charter. Another charter (CD. xv.) claims to bo from Swefred: on the manner of wiitina- the name see CD. lii. D D 2 Instructed by this example, we shall think it possible that Sigered in the time of his fathers reign over Essex was himself king of half Kent, rex dimidiai partis prouincise Cantuariorum; in which capacity he grants by charter (CD. cxiv.) twenty ploughlands at Islingham • three miles from Eochester, to the cathedral church there. Little is known of the local history of Kent at this time. London was shorn away from Essex; Londonia tamen cum circumiacentibus regionibus, Merciorum regibus, quamdiu ipsi imperitaverunt, paruit.

I = Read t'. OF THE MONASTERY OF ST. MILDRED IN TANET. St. Augustinus baptised ^j^elbriht, king of the Kentish Genealogy, men, cand all his people, in the Name of the Lord. Next, Eadbald, king, was son of .^Jjelbriht and of his queen Berhta; and ^Ej^elburh their daughter, otherwise named Tate, was given to Eadwine, king of the Nor-Shymbrians, for his queen ; and St. Paulinus went with her, and bap- tized the king Eadwine and all his people. After Ead- wines death she returned to Canterbury and to her brother Eadbald, the king, and bishop Paulinus retui-ned with her. She brought her best treasures to the church at Canterbmy for prayers for herself and for the soul of the king her father. They may still be seen therein. Paulinus accepted the bishopric at Rochester by the will of God, and there ended his life, and was received into the kingdom of God. After that Eormem-ed and Eor- cenbriht were kings. These and Eanswi"S were all children of Eadbald and of Iinme his queen, daughter of the king of the Franks. St. Eanswi'S lies at rest at Folkestone, the minster, which she founded. Further, Eornienburh, by another name Dame Eafe, and Eormen- gi-5, and M\)e]xed, and .^^elbriht, were children of Eor- menred and his queen Oslaf Dame Eafe was given into the land of the Mercians to Merwald, son of king Penda, for his queen, and there they begot St. Mildburh and St. Mildri^ and St. MildgiiS and the holy child St. Merefin.

Their eldest daughter, St. Mild- burh, lies at Wenlock, the monastery in Mercia, where her miraculous powers were often exhibited, and are still. St. Mildri'S lies within the island of Tanet ; her miraculous powers were often exhibited, and are still. St. Mildgi'S lies in Nor'Shymbria, where her miraculous powers were often exliibited, and are still. The holy cliild St. Merefin was led away to heaven in his youth.

In early youth they were very discreet and right vsdse, as was the will of God. This offended one of the kinffs counts, who was called punor, and was the kings most valued attendant upon his children, punor dreaded lest, if the Punor plots, young princes lived long, they would become dearer to the king than he would be. So he began secretly to hate them, and to accuse them before the king, and said, that if they should live they would deprive either him or his children of the kingdom. He began to pray that he might se- cretly slay the young princes, but the king would not give him leave, since they were dear to him and rela- tives. Yet punor often and from time to time prayed him to give him leave to do with the young princes as he would : and before long he did as he desired, and Murders the punor at night soon made martyrs of them within the P"'"*''""' kings royal residence, as secretly as he could. He sup- posed that they never would reappear, but by the power of God they were made known, for a beam of light stood up through the roof of the hall up to heaven, and the king himself about the first cockcrowing, was going out, and himself saw that wonder. Then was he terrified and afraid, and ordered punor quickly to be fetched, and demanded of him what he had done with his cousins, um cumen lijepbe he him pojirtolen haspbc • he hrni anb]'po]iobe -j cpse'S. f he fyl}: pij-ce he him j-ecjan. nolbe biiton he nybe fceolbe . he 'Sa fe cynmj cpseS f he be hip pjieonbfcipe hit fecjan fceolbe • he him anbppopobe -j cpae'S he hi mnan hip healle unbejx hip heahpetle Ibebyjijeb hgepbe • 'j he ]>a, fe cynmj ppySe unpoc jepopiben peep- pop J?88p jobep punbjie • pop ]?£epe 5efih|)e ^e he -Sse]! jepepen hsepbe • he )?a be Sam jeajio pipce f he jobe^ aboljen hsepbe^ ppypoji )>onne hip 'Seajxp psepie- -j ]7a on mojijen ppySe hpseb- hce him to jepeccean het hip pitan • 'j hip jjejnap • hi him jejisebbon hptec him be ■Sam felopt Suhte- oSSe to bone psepe • he pa -j hi jejxasbbon mib Ssef sejice- bipceopep pultume • Deufdedit • j3 man heo]\a ppuptoji on mejicna lanbe ]?e hio to popjipen pjej* jepeccean het- to Sam f hio hyjie bpoSpia peji5ilb jecupe • on fpylcum jnnjum ppylce hyjie • hijie nyhptan pjieonbum ]-elopt hcobe • "j hio 6a fpa bybe f hio f pepjelb jeceap jjujxh ^obej- pultum on Sam ijlanbe ];e teneS ip nemneb- f ij- j^onne himb eahtatij hiba lanbep ]7e hio Sseji get \>sem. cynmje onpeonj • -j hit 'Sa ppa ^elamp ]?a pe cynin; •j hio bomne eape sepept j3 lanb jeceap • "j In opep ];a ea comon ]7a cpseS fe cynmj to hipie • hpylcne bsel |;sep lanbep hio onpon polbe hyjie bpioSpnm to pejtjilbe.

He answered him and said that punor con- he had buried them within the kings hall, tmder his ^"^^^es. high seat. Then the king became much disturbed at the divine miracle and the light which he had seen; and thereby he quickly knew that he had angered God more than he had need. And so next day he bid in- stantly fetch him his councillors and thanes, that they should advise him what to them seemed best, or what was to be done. He and they then, with support of Deusdedit the archbishop, arranged that an order should be issued to fetch their sister in Mercia, into which she had been given in marriage, that she should choose her brothers wergild, or compensation to the relatives, of such things as seemed good to herself and to her nearest friends. And she so arranged as to choose by Gods Eafe chooses help the compensation in the island which is called "'wergild. Tanet, that is to say, eighty hides of land, which she there received of the king. And it so happened, when the king and she. Dame Eafe, first chose the land, and they came over the river Wantsume, then the king asked her what part of the land she would take for her brothers wergild. Then she answered him and said that she desired no more than her hind would run round. This hind always ran before her when she was travelling. She said that it had been granted her that she should take so much as the hind directed her. Then the Icing answered her and said that he would gladly consent to that. She then so managed that the. hind kept running before them, and they followed after her, till they came to the place which is now called punors Low; and so punor made his obeisance to the king, and said to him, Sir, how long wilt thou listen to this bumban nytene J?e hit eal pyle lanb utan beypuan- pylc Su liic eal 'Ssepe cpenon pyllan • -j "Sa pona SBj:re]i jjyppum popbuin pe eop.^e tolilSb End.

St. Seaxburh then, St. ^j^eldri^ and St. Wihtburh were daughters of Anna, king of the East Angles. St. ^)7eldri-S was given to two husbands, to Tondbriht, alderman of the men of the South Fens ; and Ecgferth, king of the Nor'Shymbrians, for his queen. She however preserved her virginity till her lifes end, and she chose her bodys resting place in the town of Ely, and there her miracles are often known. Further St. Eormenhild, Eorcenbrihts daughter and Seaxburhs, was given to Wulfhere, son of Penda, king of the Mercians, for his queen ; and in their days the people of the Mercians received baptism. There they begot St. Werburh, the holy virgin, and she lies in the minster which is called Hanbury, St. Eormenhild rests with her mother, and with her mothers sister St. .^]?eldri8, at Ely, and there their miracles are often known.

It was, however, Conversi( by help of the grace of Christ, to whom all thanks- i^ng'and. giving is due, and by means of St, Gregorius, bishop of the see of Rome, saved from the darkness of their . infidelity. Certainly, the aforesaid bishop, through mo- nition of the holy grace of God, began on one occasion to inquire of some natives about the customs of the island, and whether they were Christian.

He found, however, Gregorius St. Augustinus, that most trusty child of the holy faith, ^^^^^ to take his place, and sent him hither, that he should zealously beget so sensible a people and so acceptable to him, for the Almighty Lord, and should be very diligent about the so begetting them. He earnestly admonished and instructed his vicar, St. Augustinus, to build minsters for the praise and glory of Christ, and to teach and appoint the servants of God the same mode of life which the apostles, with their society, at the beginning of our Christianity observed. They were all of one heart and of one soul; nor had any one of them separate possessions, nor even said that aught of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.Hence this same custom was by admonition of the holy man in the minsters of the English race long perpetuated, and thriving.

But that is not to be wondered at, as if it were unusual for God Almighty gloriously to reward every one of those who promise him good, and then fully perform the promise. Cm- Lord Christ is in these things with all gladness of mind very highly to be praised. The Almighty Lord indeed is cognizant of all, he who long before knows all that is to come; and he knew how good a servant Eadgar would ever be to him, and was ever merciful to him, and always destined him all good things for his ad- vantage. As if the i-ight wise and faithful Recompenser, not with words but with deeds, had thus preached and said: Thou now zealously protectest and furtherest my name and my dominion, that is my churches, which I rightly have in my special power : in recompense I will magnify thy name, and enlarge thy kingdom, which thou boldest under my subjection, and will further it with good.

In fact, as soon as a promise of lie was chosen to his kingdom, he was very mindful of ^^^gaj'^fj^ his promise, which he while a young child in his princely estate made to God and to St. Mary, when the abbot invited him to the monastic Hfe. As we before said, hj the recollection of his promise, in the beginning of his kingdom, he very thoughtfully began to improve the place,^ as he before promised in his childliood, and en- riched it with aU things to such a degree that it was nowise different nor inferior to any of those many old foundations, which his ancestors had formerly for a long period encouraged. He soon gave order to have a glorious ^J^J'^^" minster built there in three years time. That will seem ' incredible to all who shall see that minster in after times and do not remember this. He commanded that same minster thus ornamented to be consecrated to St. Mary, to the praise and worship of God ; and there he collected a great society of monks, that they should serve God according to the teaching of the holy (Benedictine) rule. Before that there was but a scant number of monks in a few places in so great a kingdom, living by right rule.T^ That was not more than in one place, called Glastonburj', where his father, king Eadmund, first established monks. From that place the aforesaid abbot" was taken and ordained to the above mentioned monas- tery, which king Eadgar founded and furnished with monks. He was very much rejoiced at that spiritual commencement of monks, and earnestly began to inquire Eadgars own first of all, how he mio;ht rectify his own life with true I'fe wanted rectirymg. religion. It is also written in books: " He who pur- " poses to begin good should try the first of it on him- " self" After he became duly ordered himself, he began » Abingdon.

That was so executed by the supporting grace of God; he l)iinstan brings constantly made use of the advice of Dunstan the arch- pentance" bishop; by his admonition he searched concerning the salvation of his soul; and not only that, but also about all religion and tlie sound condition of his dominion. He cleansed holy places from foulnesses of all men, not Eadgar insists only in the kingdom of the West Saxons, but also in of t^e clergy!'^ the land of the Mercians. For example, he drove out the canons, who v-^ere more than sufficiently notorious for the aforesaid crimes, and in the most important places of all his dominion he established monks to perform a Introduces reverential service to the Saviour- Christ. In some XLnVnTf^^ places also he established mynchens, and entrusted them -And nuns, to his consort ^Ifj^ri^, that at every need she should help them. He ever investigated, himself, about the right conversation of monks, and kindly advised her to imitate him, and in the same way see to the mynchens. He began with earnest scrutiny to seek out and in- quire concerning the precepts of the holy Kule, and was willing to know the instruction of the Rule itself, by means of which is prepared a habit of right living and a honest purpose, and the regulations which draw men to holy virtues. He desired also by means of the Rule to know the wise ordering which is prudently appointed on occurrence of strange events. From a desire of this wisdom he ordered the translation Orders JEWl- of this Rule from Latin into English. Although the j'^^f^^" J^'^f acute and wise men who have a clear knowledsre of the Benedictus. bipartite wisdom, that is, the wisdom of things temporal and spiritual, either of which, it is admitted, consists of three divisions, have no occasion for this English trans- lation ; it is however a necessity for unlearned secular men, who for fear of hell penalty and for love of Christ, (juit this miserable life and turn unto their Lord, and choose the holy service of tlds Rule, lest only unconverted le]' ■^eceoyay, ]>j losy ];e ocnij unsecyppeb po]iolbman fol. 151a. mib mytnej^e unjepitte fiejule]- jeboba abpsece • "j j^aejie tale bjiuce ]5 be yy bseje mij-penje • ]?y he bit; yelpe nyjpte; Ic ]?a [jjap] jej^eobe to micclan jej'ceabe telebe ; pel mjej bu; [an hit naht] mib hpylcan jejieopbe mon yy jeptjiyneb to Jjan yopan jeleapan jepsemeb butan ]70et an py ]7aet he jobe jejanje; Ksebben poji ]>i ]?a unjelgep-eban mlenbipce Jjsep haljan piejulep cy]?]?e jmpih ajenep jejieopibep anppijenneppe • by ]7e ^eojm- licoji 5obe Jjeopien anb nane tale nsebben ]?aDt by J?uph nytennep]"e mij-pon jaijipen; Fop ]?i ponne ic mib ealjie ej-tpulneppe mine septepsenjan bibbe- ]?upb bpibtnep naman balpi^e j^set by |?y]'ep baljau pejulep bi^enc a |?upb cpiptsep jipe ^eycen • -j jobienbe to pulpjiem- ebum enbe jebpencjen; Ne sebypptlaece beona nan ]pupb beoplep mynbjunje o]?];e ]m]ib fenije jitpunje IpseX: be jobep ape jepanije • oj^j^e senijpe mean pece bu beo jepanob peojij^e • oype on lanb ape • oype on Eenejum oj^pum sebtum • j^e Isep ]>e ]?upb pseble "j bse- penleapte jjsepe baljan sepeptneppe pelin aplacije anb mib ealle acobje • pset la nseppe ne jelumpe ; fsey ic pene pio sepEeptnep ]?sep baljan pejulep on eepum tibum jepanob peap]? ]?upb peaplac ypelpa manna • -j ]mpb jej'apunje ]7apa cynenja ];e to jobe lytelne eje bsepbon; Ip ppijje miclan tip eallum to papnienne -j upe bpihten to bibbenne • pset pio ypm]? on upe sepej-tnepj-e nteppe ept ne jepeop'Se; Sbbobipj'um pe eac taeca]? • fol. 151 b. f'^'c 111 mbolbe pm • anb |?8ep baljan pe5olep jebobum eallum mobe j^eopijen anb jobep selmibtijep bebobe beoba]? • |?set beopa nan ne jebypptlsece ]?get beo jobej- lanbape na|7op ne beopa majum ne popolbpicum mib unjepceabe pellen • ne pop pceatte ne lyppetunje; jejjencen j^set hi jobe to bypbuni pm sepette- no to peappum ; Gip beopa lipile mib beoplep coptnunje beppi- cen* pop jobe o]?];e pop populbe jyltij bi]?* ne jlabije on bset no]7ep ne cynmj ne popul[b]pica ppilce bim 5epymeb ' Illegible. secular man with hiiS ignorapce and stupidity should break the precepts of the Eule, and use the excuse that he on that day made a mistake, in that he did not know better. I then have reckoned this translation to make much difference. Well may it be of no consequence with what language a man is begotten unto God and allured to the true faith, provided only that he do come unto God. Unlearned natives therefore may have knowledge of the holy Rule, through an explanation in their own lan- guage, so as more zealously to serve God, and to have no excuse to the effect that from ignorance they must make mistakes. Hence then I with all devotion pray my successors and intreat in the Lords name, that they ever increase the observance of this holy Rule through the grace of Christ, and by mending it bring it to s. perfect end. Let none of thepi by suggestion of the devil, or through any covetousness, venture to diminish the patri- Monastic cn- mony of God, nor seek any excuse by which it may be dowments diminished, either in estates or any other possessions, mdntdn'tluj lest through poverty and penury the fire of holy devotion turn lukewarm and quite cold. May that never happen ! As I suppose, the devout observance of the holy Rule in former times grew cold by reason of the robbery of evil men, and by connivance of the kings who liad little awe for God. We must all very much beware and pray our Lord, that that misery never again come up upon our devotion. We also teach abbesses, that they be loyal, and wdth all their mind serve the biddings of the holy Rule, and enforce God Almightys commands : that none Alienation of of them venture to give Gods estates either to theii'monastic pro- relatives or to men powerful in a temporary sense, with caS.*^^^'^" indiscretion, either for money or for tlie purpose of paying court to them : let them reflect that they are appointed pastors on behalf of God, and not robbers.

On his death, a.d. 6.33, she re- tnrned by sea to Kent with Paulinus (Bed.), and founded the monastery at Limene (Flor.Worc), that is, at Limenea, the river of Tortus Lemannis ; for the river Itother formerly reached the sea at Lymnc (Ilasteds Kent). She was buried here, says Thomas of Elmham, p. 177, and he spells the name Limninge. Ge- neral consent puts her monastery at Liminge, some miles from Linine and its river.

Dies 10 October A.D. 644. Penda, a.d. 626 to 655, king of Mercia, defeated and killed Eadwine, Icing of Nor^hymbria, a.d. 633, at HaeJjfeltS, 12 October. Soon afterwards he killed Sigbekiit and Egric, kmgs of the East Angles. In a.d. 642, in alliance with the British and the Angles, he attacked, defeated, and killed St. Oswald, king of Nor'iShymbria, at MaserfeliS, a few miles from Winwic in Lancashire, a name which commemorates the Gewinn or struggle. The following extract from ^Ifrics Hfe of St. Oswald, supplies many particulars not mentioned by Beda. It shows that Penda carried away with him Oswalds head and right arm into Mercia, and set them upon a stake at Oswaldes treop, or Oswestry, thus solving an historical problem, in close harmony • with Beda, who says Penda set np the kings head and arms on stakes (III. xii.). Hence it appears that the claims of Os- westry and Maserfeld are reconcileable. Oswalds successor Oswm, with a troop of horse, made a bold and successful raid into Mercia, recovering his brothers head and arm from the stake of triumph. pa gej-eahhe Senealecanhij-hyepseen- bun^e • T sebaeb ]:o]i hi)* yo\c \>e j^sep j:eallenbe speolc • t bet£ehce heojia j-apla -) hme ryljme gobe • T J'Uf clypobe on hij- ]-ylle.
