The executors were the dean and the two archdeacons. After this simple but not surprising will he called for his stole and anathematized all who should knavishly keep back, or violently carry off, any of his goods, or otherwise frustrate his executors. He grew worse. He confessed daily the lightest thought or word of impatience against his nurses.
Whilst D'Artagnan and Porthos were looking on with critical glances, which disguised an extreme impatience to get forward, a magnificent dais approached preceded by a hundred Jesuits and a hundred Dominicans, and escorted by two archdeacons, a treasurer, a penitent and twelve canons.
After gathering captains the next thing was an eight-fold lash for abuses decrees against bribes; against vicars who would not sing Mass save for extra pay; against swaggering archdeacons who suspended churches, and persons beyond their beat. These gentlemen, in the absence of a bishop, seem to have grown into popes at the least. Mass not to be laid as a penance upon any non-priestly person.
No rectors, no vicars, no archdeacons, no bishops, no archbishops, in the chapel, but, O Lord! many such in the church. Protect our sinful brother from his love of lucre. Cleanse from our unawakened brother's breast his sin of worldly- mindedness. The prayer said infinitely more in words, but nothing more to any intelligible effect. Whose? Why, our brother's here present was.
And Daphne's accustomed to be made a lot of, you know. In London there's always a heap of people making up to her and in Paris, too. She talks uncommon good French learnt it in the convent. I don't understand a word of what they talk about but she's a queen I can tell you! She doesn't want Archdeacons prating at her." "It'll be all right when she knows the people."
But, behold! within four-and-twenty hours of the theft, a procession of all the rascality, followed by all the piety, of Alexandria, monks from Nitria counted by the thousand, priests, deacons, archdeacons, Cyril himself, in full pontificals, and borne aloft in the midst, upon a splendid bier, the missing corpse, its nail-pierced hands and feet left uncovered for the pitying gaze of the Church.
Bishop Stephen of Senlis was sent in 1128 to introduce the new discipline, but the archdeacons and canons, supported by royal favour, resisted, and Bishop Stephen was stripped of his revenues and hastened back to his metropolitan, the archbishop of Sens. The archbishop laid Paris under interdict and the influence of St. Bernard himself was needed to compose the quarrel.
And in this they are successful; for, indeed, how could the notion occur to any one that all that has been repeated from century to century with such earnestness and solemnity by all those archdeacons, bishops, archbishops, holy synods, and popes, is all of it a base lie and a calumny foisted upon Christ by them for the sake of keeping safe the money they must have to live luxuriously on the necks of other men?
Next, says Addison, after the clergy of the highest rank, such as bishops, deans, and archdeacons, come 'doctors of divinity, prebendaries and all that wear scarfs. It was an object therefore of some ambition in his day to wear a scarf.
Paul's, in 1450, there were: The bishop, Four archdeacons, The treasurer, The precentor, The chancellor, Thirty greater canons, Twelve lesser canons, Fifty chaplains, and Thirty vicars. These were of the higher rank; there were innumerable others of lower rank, such as the master of the singing-school, the binder, and the translator.
