ECCLESIAE SANCTI PAVLI fundatio .

DE hujus illustris Templi fundatione nonnihil quidem discrepant Scriptores : opinio tamen receptissima est , Primò ab Aethelberto Cantij Regulo , circiter annum redemptionis 610. conditum esse , qui illi possessiones dedit , vt apparet .

Aedelbertus Rex Deo inspirante , pro animae suae remedio , dedit Episcopo Melito terram quae appellatur Tillingham ad Monaster . sui solatium , scilicet S. Pauli : Et ego Rex Aethelbertus ita firmiter concedo tibi Praesuli Melito potestatem eius habendi , & possidendi vt in perpetuum in Monasterij vtilitate permaneat , &c.

Athelstanus , Edgarus , Edovardus nomine Confessor , & alij possessiones illi dederunt .

Rex Guilielmus Victor aedi S. Pauli Mauricioque illo tempore Episcopo & successoribus ejus Stortford arcem , quaeque ad eam pertinent , dedit . Munera etiam majorum suorum confirmavit .

Diploma Guilielmi Victoris huic S. Pauli Templo datum , memoriae proditum in Turre Londinensi conspiciendum est .

Anno 1087. hoc Templum flammis absumptum est , unâque cum illo maxima pars Ciuitatis . Ex quo Mauricius tunc Episcopus novae aedis fundamentum ponebat : opus quod nunquam perfectum iri putabant , eò longitudinis & latitudinis in immensum productum est ; idemque est fornicatis lapidibus ( vt ab igne defendatur ) aedificatum , quod artificium hujus gentis populo prius incognitum est , à Gallis huc allatum , lapides vero à Cano in Normandia adducti sunt .

Hic Mauricius , anno 1107. mortem cum vita commutavit , Richardo Beau●…is ( non Beamor vt ait Stow ) in Episcopatum illi succedente , qui Templum illud mirificè exauxit , proprioque sumptu , omnes circa ipsum plateas & viculos ( in quibus antea habitavit vulgus ) vt in illis pij sanctique homines habitent , inque illorum beneficium nactus est .

Turris vel Pyramis hujus Templi anno 1222. condita est .

Novum ( vt dicitur ) S. Pauli opus , ad Orientem , & à fronte Chori ( velloci in quo canunt ) anno 1251. perfectum est .

Henricus Lacy Comes Lincolniensis , Angliae Custos &c. Et Rodulfus Balduck Episcopus London , magna in hanc aedem ( circiter annum 1310. ) beneficia contulerunt .

Anno 1444. Pyramis secundò , fulmine incensa est , & magno labore , breui tempore , aceto ( vt quidem apparebat , ) restinguebatur : sed paulò post , prorupit rursum ignis , non sine magno cum lignei tum plumbei operis detrimento : sed anno 1462. refecta & renovata est .

Anno 1561. ista Pyramis iterum , caelitus fulmine incensa est , tantaque vi & ardore flagravit , vt brevi tempore tota Pyramis unâ cum tota Templi testudine , cùm ex ligno tum explumbo , consumta sit , non sine magna lamentatione perpetuaque spectatorum ( quorum aliqui adhuc animam ducunt ) memoriâ . Peracto hoc gravi infortunio , Serenissima Regina Elizabetha p. m. ad D. Praetorem ( ut quam celerrimè reparetur , ) literas misit , illáque ipsa pro ingenua sua indole & liberalitate evestigiò 1000. Marcas aureas , & ex sylvis suis 1000. lignorum vehes , ad expeditam ejus restaurationem donabat .

Ut taceam quid de Templi longitudine , latitudinéque , & Pyramidis altitudine ( quae ad hoc non pertinent ) dici possit : Habet hoc Templum Gubernatores , Episcopum , Decanum , Praecentorem , Cancellarium , Quaestorem , & quinque Archidiaconos ; nimirum , London , Midlesex , Essex , Colchester , & S. Albans : habet Praebendarios triginta , & ad Chorum in re divina instruendum , Canonicos parvos ( vulgo Peti-canons ) duodecim , Vicarios chorales sex , Choristas decem .

Collector ad Lectorem .

Episcoporum Catalogum à principio , ad hoc usque tempus , annectendum aequum putavi . De Decanis verò non multis verbis opus est ; non tamen doctissimi illius Ioannis Coleti , veri Euangelij in illa nebulosa tempestate Papistica ( annis ab hinc jam centum ) professoris , nomen , memoriamque foelicem oblivione possum obruere : nec ( ad semicentum annos ) reverendi Alexandri Nowelli illius sanctissimi viri , qui Decanatui quadraginta amplius annis , omnium omnis generis hominum , praecipuè bonorum , summo amore praefuit . Et non solùm nomine bonus appellatus est , sed etiam & in vita sua bonit as apparuit , & in morte bona suà opera illum sunt sequuta , & uberiùs & fusiùs in Effigiebus nostris & vit is illustrium Anglorum cum de Coleto tum de illo apparet : ( quae nunc transmarino habitu vestiendae sunt : ) quare hic illum pluribus prosequi verbis non est opus . Nec omittendum puto ejus successorem Ioannem Ouerall , S. Theologiae Doctorem , virum summa doctrina , ingenio acuto , judicioque sagacissimo praeditum , qui dignitatem bona laude & applausu ( de quo ipse testimonium possum perhibere ) annos tredecim obtinuit : & nunc praesenti anno 1614. illo à supremo nostro Rege Iacobo ad Coventrie & Lichfeldiae Episcopatum provecto ; visum est Majestati suae ad hunc Decanatum Valentinum Carey generosi & ingenui sanguinis , S. Theologiae Doctorem , Christi Collegij Cantabrigiensis Magistrum , virumque , vt dicunt , doctrina & eruditione non multis inferiorem , promovere . Et sic , candide Lector , vale & fruere .

THE FOVNDATION of SAINT PAVLES Church .

ABout the foundation of this famous Church writers do somwhat varie : but the most receiued opinion is , that it was first founded by Aethelbert King of Kent : about the yeere of Christ 610. who gaue thereto lands , as appeareth ;

King Aethelbert , God inspiring him , for the peace of his soule , hath giuen to Bishop Mellitus certaine land called Tillengham , towards the maintenance of his Monastery , of S. Paul : And I Aethelbert the King doe firmely graunt to thee Mellitus the Prelate , full power to haue and to hold it for the perpetuall profit of the said Monasterie , &c.

Athelstane , Edgare , Edward the Confessor and others gaue lands therevnto .

William the Conquerour gaue to the Church of S. Paul , and to Mauricius then Bishop , and his successors , the castle of Stortford with the appurtenances : He also confirmed the gifts of his Predecessours .

The Charter of William Conquerour giuen to this Church of S. Paul is recorded and to bee seene in the Tower of London .

In the yeere 1087. this Church was burnt with fire , and therewith the most part of the Citie : wherevpon Mauricius then Bishop , began the foundation of a new Church : a worke that men thought would neuer haue been finished , it was to them so wonderfull for length and bredth , and also the same was builded vpon arched vaults of stone for defence against fire , which was a manner of worke till then vnknowne to the people of this nation ; brought in by the French , and the stone from Cane in Normandie .

This Mauricius deceased in the yeere 1107. Richard Beauvais ( not Beamor as Stow saith ) succeeding him in the Bishopricke , who did wonderfully increase the said Church , purchasing at his owne cost all the streetes and lanes about it ( wherein before did dwell many lay people ) for religious men to dwell in , and for their benefit &c.

The tower or steple of this Church was finished , ann. 1222.

The new worke of Paules , so called , at the East end aboue the Quier , was finished , ann. 1251.

Henry Lacy Earle of Lincolne , Custos of England &c. and Ralfe Balduck Bishop of London were great benefactors vnto this Church about the yeere 1310. Anno 1444. the steeple was the second time fired by lightning , and by great labour the same was in short time , to appearance , quenched with vineger : but within a few houres the fire burst forth againe and did much hurt to the timber and leaden worke : but in the yeere 1462. it was repaired and amended .

Anno 1561. this steeple was againe set on fire by lightning from heauen , and it burned with such vehemencie , that within a short space all the spire of the steeple , with all the roofes of the Church both leaden-worke and timber-worke were consumed , to the great sorrow and perpetuall remembrance of the beholders ( diuers whereof are yet liuing . ) After this great misfortune , Queene Elizabeth of blessed memory directed letters to the Lord Major for the speedy repayring of the same , and She of her owne gratious disposition and bounty , did giue presently in gold 1000. markes , and a warrant for a 1000. loads of timber to be taken out of her woods , to further the reparation thereof , &c.

To omit what might bee said concerning the height of the steeple , the length and bredth of the Church , as things impertinent ; this Church hath for Gouernours , a Bishop , a Deane , a Precentor , a Chauncellor , a Treasurer , and 5. Archdeacons ; to wit , of London , Middlesex , Essex , Colchester , and S. Albans : it hath Prebendaries 30. and to furnish the Quire in diuine seruice , Pety-canons 12. Vicars chorall 6. Queristers 10. &c.

At the entrance of the North side or I le of the Quire or Chancell .
1 First , lieth Sebba King of the East-Saxons , in a coffin of grey marble with this inscription , hanging by .

HIC jacet Sebba Rex Orientalium Saxonum , qui conversus fuit ad fidem per S. Erkenwaldum Londinens . Episcopum , anno Christi 677. Vir multum Deo devotus actibus religiosis , crebris precibus , & pijs eleemosynarum fructibus plurimum intentus : vitam privatam & monasticam cunctis regni divitijs & honoribus preferens . Qui cùm regnasset annis 30. habitum religiosum accepit per benedictionem Waltheri Londinensis Antistitis qui prefato Erkenwaldo successit : de quo Venerabilis Beda in Historia Gentis Anglorum .

2 Next vnto King Sebba , lieth King Etheldred , also in a grey marble coffin within the Wall , with this inscription , hanging by .

HIc jacet Etheldredus Anglorum Rex , filius Edgari Regis , cui in die consecrationis hic post impositam Coronam , fertur S. Dunstanus Cantuar : Archiepiscopus dira praedixisse his verbis : Quoniam aspirasti ad Regnum per mortem fratris tui in cujus sanguine conspirauerunt Angli cum ignominiosa matre tua , non deficiet gladius de domo tua seuiens in te omnibus diebus vitae tuae , interficiens de semine tuo quovsque regnum tuum transferatur in regnum alienum , cujus ritum & linguam gens cui presides non novit ; nec expiabitur nisi longa vindicta peccatum tuum & peccatum matris tuae , & peccata virorum qui interfuere concilio illius nequam . Quae sicut à viro Sancto predicta erant , evenerunt : Nam Etheldredus varijs praelijs per Suanum Danorum Regem , filiumque fuum Canutum fatigatus & fugatus ac tandem Londini arcta obsidione conclusus , misere diem obijt anno dominicae incarnationis 1017. postquam annis 36. in magna tribulatione regnasset .

Qui cum pastorale suum officium vigilantèr & studiose rexisset annis 14. diem suum clausit extremum apud Manerium suum de Stebenheth 3. calend . Octob. ann. Christi 1241. regnante Rege Henrico 3.

Contigit hijs diebus dum Episcopus iste Rogerus in hac Ecclesia ante majus Altare staret infulatus ad celebrandum divina , quod tanta in aëre facta est nubium densitas , vt vix alter alterum discernere possit , quam confestim sequuta est tonitrui horribilis concussio cum tanta fulminis coruscatione ac foetore intollerabili , vt omnes qui aderant rapide fugientes nihil verius quam mortem expectarent . Solus Episcopus cum vno Diacono remansit intrepidus . Aëre tandem purgato Episcopus residuum rei divinae expleuit .

Epitaphium eius super tumulo . Ecclesiae quondam Praesul praesentis , in anno M. bis C. quater X. jacet hic Rogerus humatus . Hujus erat manibus D. no locus iste dicatus : Christe suis precibus veniam des , tolle reatus .

HIc infra jacet corpus Magistri Thomae de Evre , Legum Doctoris , istius Ecclesiae S. Pauli quondam Decani , qui die no no mensis Octob. ann. Do. millesimo quadringintesimo & sui Decanatus anno 12. diem suum clausit extremum : cujus animae propicietur Deus , Amen .

Tertiam vero vxorem duxit Catharinam ex equestri familia , & eximia pulchritudine foeminam , ex qua numerosam suscepit prolem : vnde genus ex matre duxit Henricus 7. Rex Angliae prudentissimus : cujus felicissimo conjugio cum Elizabetha Edw: 4.

Then is there these Acrosticke verses following .

Shall Honour , Fame , and Titles of Renowne In clods of clay be thus enclosed still ? Rather will I , though wiser wits may frowne , For to enlarge his Fame extend my skill : Right gentle Reader , be it knowne to thee , A famous Knight doth here interred lie Noble by birth , renowm'd for Policie , Confounding foes which wrought our ieopardie : In forrein Countries their intents he knew , Such was his zeale to doe his Country good , When dangers would by enemies ensue As well as they themselues he vnderstood : Launch forth yee Muses into streames of Prayse , Sing and sound forth praise-worth harmonie : In England Death cut off his dismall day's , Not wrongd by Death but by false treachery . Grudge not at this vnperfect Epitaph , Herein I haue exprest my simple skill , As the first fruits proceeding from a graffe ; Make then a better whosoeuer will . Disce quid es , quid eris , Memor esto quod morieris . E. W.
Next lieth Sr. Philip Sidney , without Tombe , with this Epitaph following , ann. 1586. ENgland , Netherland , the Heauens , and the Arts , The Souldiours , & the World , haue made 6 parts Of the Noble SIDNEY : for none will suppose , That a small heape of stones can Sidney enclose . His body hath England , for shee it bred , Netherland his bloud , in her defence shed : The Heauens haue his soule , the Arts haue his fame , All Souldiours the griefe , the World his good name .

SIR Philip Sidney , and Sr. Francis Walsingham haue no Tombes : wherevpon Iohn Stow saith a merry Poet wrote thus , Philip and Francis they haue no Tombe , For great CHRISTOPHER takes all the roome .

And no doubt but the merry Poet was the merry old man Stow himselfe .

Stay and behold the mirrour of a dead mans house , Whose liuely person would haue made thee stay & wonder : Looke & withall learne to know how to liue & die renowned : For neuer can cleane life & famous Herses sunder . Hatton lies here vnto whose name Hugh Lupus gaue , Lupus the Silices sonne of William Conquerour , For Nigell his cleare seruants sake worship and land : Loe there the spring , looke here the honor of his Ancestry . When Nature molded him , hir thoghts were most on Mars , And all the Heauens to make him goodly were agreeing : Thence was he valiant , actiue , strong , & passing comely , And God did grace his mind & spirit with gifts excelling Nature commends hir workmanship to Fortunes charge , Fortune presents him to the Court and to the Queene : Queene Eliz. ( ô Gods deere handmayd ) his most miracle , Now hearken Reader , raritie not heard or seene . This blessed Queene , Mirror of all that Albion rul'd , Gaue fauour to his faith & precepts to his hopefull time : First traind him in the stately band of Pentioners , Behold how humble hearts make easie steps to clime . High cariage , honest life , Heart ever loyall , Diligence , delight in dutie , God doth reward : So did this worthy Queene in hir iust thoughts of him , And for her safetie make him Captaine of her Guard . Now doth she prune this Vine and from her sacred breast Lessons his life , makes wise his heart for hir great Counsels , And so Vice-chamberlaine ; where forrein Princes eyes : Might well admire her choice , wherein she most excells . So sweetly tempred was his soule with vertuous Balme , Religious , iust to God and Caesar in each thing : That he aspired to the highest subiects seat Lord Chauncellor , ( measure & conscience of a holy King . ) Robe , Coller , Garter , dead figures of great honour , Almes-deeds with faith , honest in word , franke in dispence , The Poores friend not popular , the Churches piller , This Tombe shewes th' one , the Heauens shrine th' other .

VNder a faire Monument lieth buried anno 1358. Sr. Iohn Beauchamp , Constable of Douer , Warden of the Cinque-Ports , Knight of the Garter ; Sonne of Guy Beauchamp , Earle of Warwicke , as appeareth by his Armes vpon his Tombe . He is by ignorant people abusiuely termed Humphrey Duke of Glocester , who indeed lieth honourably buried at S. Albans .

The Collector to the Reader .

IN memoriall of this deceased Nobleman , falsly termed Duke Humphrey , diuers men of late yeeres , and those no worse than Citizens and Tradesmen , forsooth , on S. Andrewes day before Christmas after they haue met and foole-wisely in the morning come and presented themselues before his Monument , they haue had a feast prepared , and assumed vnto themselues to haue offices vnder the said Duke Humphrey &c.

Secondly , on May-day , a certaine rude company of Tankerd-bearers haue vsed to come betimes in the morning , and there as idle as the others , haue presented themselues before the same Monument , and strewen hearbes , and sprinkled water vpon it , terming themselues Duke Humphreyes seruants in seuerall offices , &c. But I vnderstand that the now liuing Bell-ringers , who keep the Church doores , haue debarred both the one and the other for offering any idle ceremonie at the monument : telling them if they had any thing to doe at Duke Humfreys monument , they should goe to S. Albans , where indeed it is : and vnto them I referre you for a further relation of these vanities .

But thirdly , there are another sort of sworne seruants and resident attendants on this deceased Nobleman , who doe daily giue their attendance , and offer their hungry deuotions vnto his shrine : and yow shall be sure to find some or other of them euery day throughout the yeere there waiting , betwixt the houres of twelue and one at noone : Of whom I haue no more to say , because I hold their punishment sufficient in giuing that attendance .

In the South side Sr. Iohn Beauchamps Tombe , there is also an Inscription in brasse vpon that side of the Monument as followeth ;

HIc jacet Dominus Richardus de Piriton , quondam Archidiaconus Colcestriae , Canonicus & stagiar . hujus Ecclesiae , qui obijt 26. die Augusti , anno Dom. 1387. cujus animae propicietur Deus . Amen .

Medicinae studiosis Oxoniae publicas lectiones duas , Cantabrigiae vnam in perpetuum stabiliuit : In hac Vrbe Collegium Medicorum fieri sua industria curavit , cujus & Praesidiens proximus electus est : fraudes dolosque mire perosus , fidus amicis , omnibus ordinibus juxta charus : aliquot annos antequam obieret Presbyter factus .
