[597] St Charles Borromeo, Instructions on Eccles. Building, ed. G. J. Wigley, 1857, p. 22. Cf. Latin edition of M. L’Abbé Van Drival, 1855, p. 35. St Charles’s actual words are: “Tuncque id saltem curetur, ut ne ad septentrionem, sed ad meridiem versus si fieri potest, plane spectet.”
[598] The circumstances connected with the building of this church are described by H. D. M. Spence (Dean of Gloucester) in Early Christianity and Paganism, 1902, pp. 485-8. The passage quoted occurs in the “Epistulae” of St Paulinus de Nola, Ep. XXXII. (ad Severum), § 13. One edition inserts “id est, tumulum” after “memoriam,” and Gulielmus de Hartel’s edition, 1894, gives “perspectus” as an alternative to “prospectus.”

[604] Martin Months Minde, orig. edition, 1589 (the tract is not paginated). Cf. E. Arber, Introd. sketch to the Martin Marprelate controversy, 1880. (Eng. Scholar’s Lib., No. 8.) The nickname of the imaginary schismatic is obviously taken from the “Month’s Mind”—a commemorative service which was held on a day one month from the date of the death of the person. The authorship and genesis of the tracts are discussed in W. Pierce’s Hist. Introduction to the Marprelate tracts, 1908. For Martin Months Minde, see pp. 229, 328 of that work.
