Its decay was largely the result of the growth of a group of organizations in each town which were spoken of as crafts, fraternities, gilds, misteries, or often merely by the name of their occupation, as "the spurriers," "the dyers," "the fishmongers."

The fables of Aesop are such allegories or examples; and they are useful because they make their point more interestingly than other arguments and more clearly.
