Stran 97 - A Catalogue of the Bishops of England, since the first planting of the Christian religion in this island; together with a brief history of their lives and memorable actions, so near as can be gathered of antiquity.
Stran 82 - They were so called because they went as guests to the houses of the noble, the plebeian, the native and the stranger, without accepting either fee or reward, or victuals or drink ; but what they did was to teach the faith in Christ to every one without pay or thanks. Besides which, they gave to the poor and needy, gifts of their gold and silver, their raiment and provisions.
Stran 95 - Nor did they content themselves with this escheated wealth of the church. Almost every bishopric was spoiled by their ravenous power in this reign, either through mere alienations, or long leases, or unequal exchanges. Exeter and Llandaff, from being among the richest sees, fell into the class of the poorest. Lichfield lost the chief part of its lands to raise an estate for lord Paget.
Stran 244 - Of the ten prelates included in it one is said to have been a Cardinal, two became Archbishops ; two, perhaps three, held the office of Lord Chancellor, three that of Lord Treasurer, two of them more than once; three were keepers of the Privy Seal, one was Master of the Rolls; three were Chancellors of the University of Oxford. All but two held distinguished civil positions of one kind or another; most of them are among the principal benefactors of their church and diocese; more than one have a historical...
Stran 227 - They accompanied him and supplied him with honey during his Irish mission ; but ' not desiring to enjoy their company by fraud,' he brought them back to Wales, when ' they fled to their usual place, and David blessed Modomnoc for his humility.' Three times the bees went and returned with Modomnoc ; ' and the third time holy David dismissed Modomnoc with the bees and blessed them ' — saying that henceforth bees should prosper in Ireland, but that they should no longer increase in Glyn Rosyn.
Stran 42 - The centrepiece is not a literal reading of the event of the Nativity, but rather a condensed symbol of it. An Angel has just entered the stable where Christ is newly born, and leads by the hand a King and a Shepherd, who are bowing themselves before the manger on which the Virgin Mother kneels, holding the infant Saviour. The Shepherd kisses the hand, and the King the foot, of Christ, to denote the superiority of lowliness to greatness in his sight ; while the one lays a crook, the other a crown,...
Stran 289 - Puritans," under the title of, " A Vindication of the Government, Doctrine, and Worship of the Church of England, established in the reign of queen Elizabeth :" of which the late bishop Hallifax said, " a better vindication of the reformed church of England, I never read.
Stran 121 - ... a character wholly its own, and which it is very difficult to describe in an intelligible manner. By the employment of vast pendants, which at the sides take the form of immense overlapping capitals to the small shafts already mentioned, the ceiling appears to be supported by a system of segmental arches effecting a threefold longitudinal division of the roof, and crossed by a similar range springing from the walls. Of course these arches in reality support nothing, but are in fact borne up by...
Stran 170 - Shrine here enclo'd resteth the Bones of that noble Lord, Edmund Earl of Richmond, Father and Brother to Kings, the which departed out of this World in the year of Lord God a thousand four hundred fifty and six, the first day of the Month of November, on whose soul Almighty Jesus have mercy. Amen.
Stran 315 - Gryffydh ap Cynan, the last sovereign known by the title of King of Wales, overthrew Trahaern ap Caradoc, and ascended the throne of his ancestors, AD 1079. He was afterwards taken by treachery, and imprisoned in the Castle...
