[146] St. Godric is said to have learned (in a poor school at Durham) many things of which he was before ignorant, "by hearing, reading, and chanting them." In the parochial schools, even from St. Dunstan's time, children of the lower orders were taught grammar and church music. Schools of greater or less pretensions were attached to most parish churches, and the scholars assembled in the porch. Thus, in 1300, we read of children being taught to sing and read in the porch of St. Martin's, Norwich. At Stoke-by-Clare there was, besides the extensive college, a school in which boys were taught "grammar, singing, and good manners." To which answer the pictures in Chaucer of the schools in which children were taught,
"That is to say, to singe and to rede,
As small children do in their childhede."
Again:
"As he sate in the scole at his primere,
He Alma Redemptoris heard sing," etc.
[147] This dilemma is nothing at all in Mr. Ffoulkes's eyes. He has recently published a pamphlet in which he proposes to the Council of the Vatican, as a conundrum, the question whether the whole western church is under an anathema.—Ed. Catholic World.
[148] The definition was drawn up by the prelates of the Greek Synod, which sat separately until the act of union had been consummated.—Ed. Catholic World.
[149] "I sign thee with the sign of the cross. I confirm thee with the chrism of salvation."
[150] "May the Lord be in thy heart and on thy lips, that thou mayst truly and humbly confess thy sins."
