Sivu xxiv - Then also he has a pleasant wit; and loves a timely joke, though in mild subdued manner: very amiable to see. A learned grown man, yet with the heart as of a good child; whose whole life indeed has been that of a child,— St. Edmundsbury Monastery a larger kind of cradle for him, in which his whole prescribed duty was to sleep kindly, and love his mother well! This is the Biography of...
Sivu 227 - Fuller, in his Worthies, says, " Whereas pedibus ambulando is accounted but a vexatious suit in other counties, here (where men are said to study law as following the plough-tail) some would persuade us that they will enter an action for their neighbour's horse but looking over their hedge.
Sivu 43 - He also enclosed many parks, which he replenished with beasts of chase, keeping a huntsman with dogs ; and, upon the visit of any person of quality, sat with his monks in some walk of the wood, and sometimes saw the coursing of the dogs ; but I never saw him take part in the sport.
Sivu 62 - He very seldom approved of any one on account of his literary acquirements, unless he also possessed sufficient knowledge of secular matters; and whenever he chanced to hear that any prelate had resigned his pastoral care and become an anchorite, he did not praise him for it. He never applauded men of too compliant a disposition, saying, "He who endeavours to please all, ought to please none.
Sivu 138 - I therefore command that all his debts and his moveable chattels, which are worth, as it is said, two hundred marks, be reduced into a writing, and that one portion be given to the heir, and another to the wife, and the third to his poor kinsfolk and other poor persons. As to the horse which was led before the coffin of the deceased, and was offered to St.
Sivu 61 - Sweet milk, honey, and such like sweet things he ate with greater appetite than other food. He abhorred liars, drunkards, and talkative folks ; for virtue ever is consistent with itself, and rejects contraries. He also much condemned persons given to murmur at their meat or drink, and particularly Monks who were dissatisfied therewith, himself adhering to the uniform course he had practised when a Monk : he had, likewise, this virtue in himself, that he never changed the mess you set before him....
Sivu 1 - A pious and kind man was he, a good and religious monk, yet not wise or farsighted in worldly affairs ; one who relied too much on his officers, and put faith in them, rather taking counsel of others than abiding by his own judgment. To be sure, the Rule and the religious life, and all pertaining thereto were healthy enough in the cloister, but outdoor affairs were badly managed ; inasmuch as every one serving under a simple and already aged lord did what he would, not what he should.
Sivu 44 - ... it into tillage, in all things looking forward to the benefit likely to accrue to the abbey ; but I wish he had been as careful when he held the manors of the Convent in commendam. Nevertheless, he for a time kept our manors of Bradfield and Rougham in hand, making up the deficiencies of the farms by the expenditure of forty pounds ; these he afterwards re-assigned to us, when he heard that dissatisfaction was expressed in the Convent, on account of his keeping our manors in his own hand. Likewise...
Sivu 15 - And these beforenamed two men, in order to remove from themselves the suspicion of such a favourable theft, made a certain hollow trunk, with a hole in the middle or at the top, and fastened with an iron lock ; this they caused to be set up in the great church, near the door without the choir, in the way of the people, so that therein persons should put their contributions for the building of the tower.
Sivu 157 - ... ought to be quit only so far as they are servants, but not when they hold burgage in the town, and when they, or their wives, publicly buy and sell in the market. Also, the Cellarer was used freely to take all the dunghills in every street, for his own use, unless it were before the doors of those who were holding overland; for to them only was it allowable to collect dung and to keep it. This custom was not enforced in the time of Abbot Hugh up to the period when Dennis and Roger of Hingham...
