Strana 84 - Greenyard pulpit, and the service-books and singing-books that could be had, were carried to the fire in the public market-place; a lewd wretch walking before the train, in his cope trailing in the dirt, with a service-book in his hand, imitating in an impious scorn the tune, and usurping the words of the litany used formerly in the church.
Strana 106 - ... for books in one corner, and two troughs of a birdcage, with seeds and water. If any mayoress on earth was small enough to enclose herself in this tabernacle, or abstemious enough to feed on rape and canary, I should have sworn that it was the shrine of the queen of the aldermen. It belongs to a Mrs. Cotton, who, having lost a favourite daughter, is convinced her soul is transmigrated into a robin redbreast; for which reason she passes her life in making an aviary of the cathedral of Gloucester.
Strana 71 - Over this place in the roof of the church, in a large oval yet to be seen, was the picture of our SAVIOUR seated on a throne, one hand erected, and holding a globe in the other ; attended with the four Evangelists and Saints on each side, with crowns in their hands : intended, I suppose, for a representation of our SAVIOUR'S coming to judgment. Some of the company espying this, cry out and say, ' Lo, this is the god these people bow and cringe unto ; this is the idol they worship and adore.
Strana 195 - I myself, being a child, once saw in Poule's Church [St. Paul's], London, at a feast of Whitsuntide, where the coming down of the Holy Ghost was set forth by a white pigeon, that was let to fly out of a hole that is yet to be seen in the midst of the roof of the great aisle...
Strana 94 - The south alley was for usury and popery, the north for simony ; and the horse-fair in the midst for all kinds of bargains, meetings, brawlings, murders, conspiracies. The font for ordinary payments of money...
Strana 70 - ... hunted a cat with hounds throughout the Church, delighting themselves in the echo from the goodly vaulted roof; and to add to their wickedness, brought a calf into it, wrapt in linen ; carried it to the font, sprinkled it with water, and gave it a name, in scorn and derision of that holy sacrament of Baptism.
Strana 144 - And to provide for this it prays " that all cathedral churches may be put down, where the service of God is grievously abused by piping with organs, singing, ringing, and trowling of psalms from one side of the choir to another, with the squeaking of chanting choristers, disguised (as are all the rest) in white surplices ; some in corner caps and filthy copes, imitating the fashion and manner of antichrist the pope, that man of sin and child of perdition, with his other rabble of miscreants and shavelings.
Strana 200 - On the eve of Christmas-day they carry mistletoe to the high altar of the Cathedral, and proclaim a public and universal liberty, pardon, and freedom to all sorts of inferior and even wicked people, at the gates of the city, towards the four quarters of heaven.
Strana 67 - The organs and voices did well agree, the one being like a shrill bagpipe, the other like the Scottish tone.
Strana 106 - But here is a modernity, which beats all antiquities for curiosity : just by the high altar is a small pew hung with green damask, with curtains of the same ; a small corner cupboard, painted, carved and gilt, for books, in one corner, and two troughs of a bird-cage, with seeds and water. If any mayoress on earth was small enough to enclose herself in this tabernacle, or abstemious enough to feed on rape and canary, I should have sworn that it was the shrine of the queen of the aldermen.
