His Voyage for His Native Country, England MARMADTJKE EAWDON OF TORKE. 63 with a freind that I apoynted to meet here, which soe sone as I have done, I will waite uppon him presently; att which the sarjant, smilinge said, " Sir, your freind is above att Orotava att the maior's howse." "What freind," said Mr. Kawdon. " Captain Vexarano," said the sarjant; att which the busnesse beinge discovered, he knew itt was to noe purposse to stay thir, soe went to his horse, and bid the sarjant goe before and tell his maister, that he would be with him presently. Soe goinge up to the maior's howse, he« found his challenger; soe the maior presently made them freinds. The newes of this was spread all about the Hand, every one addinge some thinge to itt, as thir fancie gave them; soe that common report caried itt to his cossen's eares before he returned home. The next day he went home him selfe, with which his Spanish Eodomontado ended. But now I am affraid I have allmost tird your patience; soe havinge now given you a perticuler of most of thosse threatninge dangers from which itt pleasd God to deliver him, I shall troble you noe more with anie relations of this nature, but will taike leave of the Canaria Hands, and returne to find Mr. Eawdon where we left him, abord Captain Salmon's ship, plyinge his voyage for his native country, England. His Voyage. They set saile from the Hand of TeneriiFe about the beginninge of Dec December in company of fower ships more, all bound for England, where they continued thir voyage with indifferent good weather; and about the eighth day, they beinge then about 300 miles from aney land, thir came an ugly blackesh foule, allmost as big as a bussard or kite, a thinge nott seene before amongst the sea-men, and flew about the ship above an hower. The sea-men lookt uppon itt as some bad omen; but Mr. Eawdon remembringe a passage of Julius Ceasar's, when the Augur Preist beinge att sea told him he thought they should have bad fortune in that voyage, beinge the Augur birds would nott eate; well then, saith Jullius Ceasar, lett them 64 THE LIFE OF drinke, and causd them to be throwne over bord into the sea.a Soe Mr. Kawdon cald for a, musket, thinkinge to have kild itt, but before the musket was brought and chargd, the bird flew away and left the ship.b ...... What sucoeded uppon this was, that within tow dayes they had a violent storme, which continued about seven dayes, most of which time they were forest to lie adrift without a knott of saile, and for most of this time nott able to dresse anie victualls in the cook-rome, the waves still beatinge into the ship and quenchinge the fire; and one day, beinge above in the captaine's round howse att dinner, Doctor Piew sittinge att the upper end of the table, betwixt the tow Mr. Rawdons, a little shutt window beinge att his backe, a wave breake in had almost brooke his necke, threw all the victualls about, • The classical recollections of the biographer are not to be depended upon. This was a favourite story among the Romana, but was never told of Julius Caesar. It belongs to an earlier* period and a less enlightened age. A friend has kindly referred me to several passages in which the incident is related. I will quote one:—" P. Claudius, bello Punico primo, cum prcelium navale committere vellet, auspiciaque more majorum petiisset, et pullarius non exire cavea pullos nuntiasset, abjici eos in mare jussit, dicens, Quia esse nolunt, bibant."—Valerius Max. i. i, 3. The Consul Claudius was the son of the famous blind censor. The naval battle alluded to, is that of Drepanum, B.C. 249. See also Cicero, de Nat. Deor. ii. 3, 7; Suetonius, Vit. Tib. ii. &c. b It was fortunate for Mr. Eawdon that this strange bird, which was most probably an albatross, escaped his murderous intention. The seamen on board Captain Salmon's ship might have been as capricious in their superstition as were the shipmates of the Antient Mariner:— * " And I had done a hellish thing, And it would work 'em woe; For all averred, I had killed the bird That made the breeze to blow. Ah, wretch! said they, the bird to slay, That made the breeze to blow. " Nor dim nor red, like God's own head, The glorious sun uprist: Then all averred, I had killed the bird That brought the fog and mist. 'Twas right, said they, such birds to slay, That bring the fog and mist." MARMADUKE RAWDON OF YORKE. 65 and this wave brooke quite over the pupe, and raikt all the ship over att least tow hundred tun of watter, soe that the captain was affraid the ship would have bene founderd or brooke a peces, but, blessed be God, thir was noe greate hurt done, not soe much as one man washt away or hurt, for the marriners, espynge of itt before itt came, gott such fast hold in and by the stearidge, that they all saved themselves; the captaine opninge the round howse dore in hast to see in what condition the ship was, the first noyce they heard from belowe was a merry noyce of the mariners laughinge att one another that was most wett, and dansinge and shakinge thir cloothes that were wett. In this greate storme they lost all the ships that were in thir company, and were left only to the protection of the all mercifull God, who commanded the mercilesse waves to doe them noe hurte, which were seeminge as high as mountaines, and con- tinually threatninge as if they would devour the ship; but this was not all; about the last day of the storme they had like to have mett with another danger of a different nature, and it was about fower of the clocke in the afternone they espied a ship makinge towards them; said the captaine, " This ship, I believe, is some rogue; letts make up to him to see what he is before night, that we may be prepared for him against to morrow morninge;" for the seas were soe high then, that they could nott, if they would, lay one another abord; soe stearinge thir course one towards another they quickly mett; soe they haild him and askt him from whence he was, he said, from Amsterdame; soe he askt them from whence they were, they told him from White-Hall, which was as much as to say, one of the Protector's ships, or a man of warr; soe he saild by them, and they knew he lied, for he was an Ostender, full of men and new tallowed; soe he saild about them observinge thir strength; soe they went to supper, and after supper went to fitt up thir ship, breakinge downe cabbins that hinderd the traversinge of the guns, stavinge all emptie caskes, and putt the mariners' chests out of the way, fittinge cartrages, lint, stockes, bulletts, and all thinges nescessary for the greate guns. The gentlemen had thir places appoynted, with each halfe a dozen CAMD. SOC. K 66 THE LIFE OF men, to have the care of such and such guns, and to incourage the seamen where thir might be most occasion; all these thinges beinge well orderd, they went to rest themselves, to be the better able to manage thir busnesse the next day, to offend thir enemie, and to defend themselves. The man of warr kept them company very closse, observinge thir actions till midnight, but thinkinge he should have had a hott breakfast of itt, seeinge the ship a lustie ship and well mand, and that by thir preparations they were resolved to fight itt out, a little before breake of day he very fairely saild away, and left them, soe that by day-light he was quite out of sight; they were very glad, beinge a laden ship, that they were rid of soe troblesome a companion. After this they mett with noe more ships, but sailinge on directly thir course, comminge as they thought within a day's saile or tow of England, they threw thir leade and found grownd, and soe continued soundinge all that day and the next, but the soundings were soe variable, that the captaine was much perplext, nott havinge had the benifitt (by reason of foule darke weather), niether of the sun nor Starrs, to know where he was; did nott know wheather he was uppon the coast of England or France. But Mr. Eawdon remembringe his old plott abord Captaine Bright in the like casse, causd the gentlemen abord to make a purse, puttinge each one a pece of eight into itt, and naild itt to the maine mast, givinge notice to the seamen, that he that discoverd land first should have that purse of mony. Soe thir was allwayes some, with an ex- treordnary care, lookinge out for land night and day. After they had bene in this perplexitie about tow dayes, itt pleasd God the third day that one Gappe, a -cabin boy of the ship, and the captaine's sarvant, was got into the fore tope of the ship, and on a sudden cryes out land—land,—soe they askt him wereabouts itt lay; he answered soe and soe; some others went up, but could nott dis- cover itt; this hapned about nine of the cloke in the morninge, soe the captaine who knew the boy to have a cleere sight, and that he had formerly espide the land before other men, causd them to stere the ship towards that place where he said the land lay, and about an MARMADUKE RAWDON OF YOEKE.

  • Religion and the Church in Geoffrey of Monmouth
    Chapter 14 Religion and the Church in Geoffrey of Monmouth Barry Lewis Few authors inspire as many conflicting interpretations as Geoffrey of Monmouth. On one proposition, however, something close to a consen- sus reigns: Geoffrey of Monmouth wrote history in a manner that shows re- markable indifference toward religion and the institutional church. Antonia Gransden, in her fundamental survey of medieval English historical writing, says that “the tone of his work is predominantly secular” and even that he “abandoned the Christian intention of historical writing” and “had no moral, edificatory purpose”, while J.S.P. Tatlock, author of what is still the fullest study of Geoffrey, speaks of a “highly intelligent, rational and worldly personality” who shows “almost no interest in monachism … nor in miracles”, nor indeed in “religion, theology, saints, popes, even ecclesiastics in general”.1 Yet, even if these claims reflect a widely shared view, it is nonetheless startling that they should be made about a writer who lived in the first half of the 12th century. Some commentators find Geoffrey’s work so divergent from the norms of ear- lier medieval historiography that they are reluctant to treat him as a historian at all. Gransden flatly describes him as “a romance writer masquerading as an historian”.2 More cautiously, Matilda Bruckner names Geoffrey among those Latin historians who paved the way for romance by writing a secular-minded form of history “tending to pull away from the religious model (derived from Augustine and Orosius) that had viewed human history largely within the scheme of salvation”.3 This Christian tradition of historiography, against which Geoffrey of Monmouth is said to have rebelled, had its origins in late antiquity in the works of Eusebius, Augustine, and Orosius.

  • The CAMRA Regional Inventory for London Pub Interiors of Special Historic Interest Using the Regional Inventory
    C THE CAMPAIGN FOR REAL ALE The CAMRA Regional Inventory for London Pub Interiors of Special Historic Interest Using the Regional Inventory The information The Regional Inventory listings are found on pages 13–47, where the entries are arranged alphabetically by postal districts and, within these, by pub names. The exceptions are outer London districts which are listed towards the end. Key Listed status Statutory listing: whether a pub building is statutorily listed or not is spelled out, together with the grade at which it is listed LPA Local planning authority: giving the name of the London borough responsible for local planning and listed building matters ✩ National Inventory: pubs which are also on CAMRA’s National Inventory of Pub interiors of Outstanding Historic Interest Public transport London is well served by public transport and few of the pubs listed are far from a bus stop, Underground or rail station. The choice is often considerable and users will have no di≤culty in easily reaching almost every pub with the aid of a street map and a transport guide. A few cautionary words The sole concern of this Regional Inventory is with the internal historic fabric of pubs – not with qualities like their atmosphere, friendliness or availability of real ale that are featured in other CAMRA pub guides. Many Regional Inventory pubs are rich in these qualities too, of course, and most of them, but by no means all, serve real ale. But inclusion in this booklet is for a pub’s physical attributes only, and is not to be construed as a recommendation in any other sense.

  • St. Alban, Built "When Peaceable Christian Times Were Restored" (Possibly the 4Th Century) and Still in Use in Bede's Time
    Welcome to OUR 18th VIRTUAL GSP class! Britain’s first martyr ST.ALBAN: WHY DO WE HONOR HIM? Presented by Charles E.Dickson,Ph.D. COLLECT FOR ALBAN, FIRST MARTYR OF BRITAIN 22 JUNE Almighty God, by whose grace and power thy holy martyr Alban triumphed over suffering and was faithful even unto death: Grant to us, who now remember him with thanksgiving, to be so faithful in our witness to thee in this world, that we may receive with him the crown of life; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. ANGLICANISM’S TUDOR BEGINNINGS The Church of England (and therefore the Episcopal Church) traces its specifically Anglican identity with its links to the State back to the Reformation. Henry VIII started the process of creating the Church of England after his split with Rome in the 1530s as he ended his marriage with Catherine of Aragon and moved on to Anne Boleyn. The first Act of Supremacy, passed by Parliament in 1534, granted Henry and subsequent monarchs Royal Supremacy, such that they were declared the Supreme Head of the Church of England. ANGLICANISM’S ANGLO-SAXON BEGINNINGS The Church of England often dates its formal foundation to St.Augustine of Canterbury’s Gregorian Mission to England in 597. Like Henry VIII this "Apostle to the English" can be considered a founder of the English Church. Augustine was the 1st and the Most Rev. Justin Welby is the 105th Archbishop of Canterbury. ANGLICANISM’S ANCIENT BEGINNINGS Actually the Church of England’s roots go back to the early church.

His remarks were taken up by Bede (d. 737), so that the two saints have never been forgotten, their cult surviving to this day. the au- thor provides a detailed survey of discussion of Aaron and Julius over the centuries, and argues that their martyrdom was neither at Caerleon (in south-east Wales) nor Chester (in north-west England), as suggested by numerous scholars, but at Leicester, another major city of Roman Britain. Working from epigraphic sources and taking into account ancient models of naming, the author attempts a reinterpretation of Legionum urbs in the original texts by emending it to Legorum urbs “city of the Legores,” the Celtic people of the Leicester region. the latter, by the time of Gildas, was occupied by the Angles, while the city itself was abandoned, which may explain Gildas’s remarks, otherwise unclear if one identifiesLegionum urbs with Caerleon or Chester.

  • Lent | Holy Week | Easter #Lentpilgrim INTRODUCTION
    lent | holy week | easter #LentPilgrim INTRODUCTION his Lent, the Church of England is focusing on pilgrimage. In that spirit, we have created this virtual pilgrimage which T takes us on a journey from the Cathedral to the Cross, from Bristol to the bitter passion of Golgotha. It is not a straight path, as life is not straightforward, but twists and turns through the countries, and across the centuries. Accompanied by saints with links to places along the way, we will journey through Lent as we travel across Britain, France, Italy, and on into the Middle East. As we reach Rome, the pilgrimage retraces the journey of St Paul, in reverse, taking us from Rome, through Sicily, Malta, Rhodes, and beyond, until we arrive in Jerusalem, at the foot of the Cross. In addition to this devotional pilgrimage, from the back page of this booklet you will find details of services on Easter Day and in Holy Week, along with additional events and services such as the Lent Lunches, reading Mark right through, and Stations of the Cross. We pray that you will choose to travel with us for part or all of this journey.
