D. 1146. the Premâ—nstratensian Order was brought into England their first Monastery being Newhouse in Lincolnshire Two years after the Gilbertine â—rder had its rise at Sempringham in that County The troubles the Kingdom was for a great part of this Reign embroiled in could not restrain the Piety and Charity of the English from building Religious Houses to the number of fifteen of the Benedictine Order twenty five Priories of black Canons thirty five Cistercian Abbies six Houses of the Premonstratensian six of the Gilbertine and four of the Cluniac Rule one College two Preceptories and three Alien-Priories King Henry II. was very obliging to the Clergy especially after the murder of S. Thomas Becket of Canterbury He founded the first house the Carthâ—sians had in England viz. Witham in Somersetshire as also Waltham in Com. Essex Newstede in Com. Nott. Ivy Church in Com. Wilt. and Marton in Com. Ebor. of the Austin Order Newstede in Com. Linc. for Gilbertine Canons Stonely in Com. Warw. for Cistercian Monks and the Alien-Priory of Hagh in Com. Linc. In his Reign were founded twenty two Benedictine thirty Austin eight Premonstratensian four Gilbertine and six Cluniac Monasteries three Collegiate Churches six Preceptories for in the year 1185. the Templers came into England eight Alien-Priories and what is more remarkable almost twenty Cistercian Abbies notwithstanding it was contrary to a Canon made at the general Chapter of the Cistercian Order A. D. 1152 wherein the erection of any more Abbies of that Rule was expresly forbid because there were above five hundred of them already founded In Richard I. time the humour of going to recover Holy Land from the Saracens mightily prevail'd in England as well as in all other parts of Christendom And the mony design'd for pious uses being expended in those Wars and for the Ransom of the King there were few Monasteries built in this Reign viz. six of the Benedictine four of the Austin one of the Cistercian four of the Premonstratensian and two of the Gilbertine Order with one Alien-Priory This King is said to have mortally hated the Black Monks the Cistercians and the Templers and not only those three sorts but also all Religious Men for we do not find that he built one Monastery in England King Iohn tho' he was always prejudiced against the Ecclesiasticks yet he founded a stately Abby for the Cistercians at Beaulieu in Com. Hants to which he made Farendon in Com. Berks. a Cell He built also the Ben. Nunnery of Lambley in Com. Northumb. and made Otterington in Com. Devon an Alien-Priory In his Reign were founded seven Benedictine Abbies and Priories eleven for Regular Canons seven for Cistercian Monks one Preceptory two Premonstratensian Abbies six of the Gilbertine Order and two Alien-Priories In King Henry the third 's long Reign we find but four Benedictine Abbies and Priories built fifteen of the Austin nine of the Cistercian and of the Gilbertine and Cluniac Orders each one as also one of the Premonstratensian viz. Tichfield in Com. Hants which was the last of that Order that was built in England and one Alien-Priory viz. Rumney in Com. Cant. the last that was subjected to any foreign Monastery And the King himself founded only the small Gilbertine Cell of Fordham in Com. Cantab. For during this Reign came the Dominican or Preaching Friers into this Kingdom A. D. 1217. and the Franciscans or Friers Minors A. D. 1224. who for the pretended severity of their lives and their frequent Preaching were at first mightily admired by the people to the great loss of the parish Priests as well as the Regulars King Edward I. succeeded next who built the stately Abby of Vale-Royal in Com. Cest. In this King's time the Charity and Devotion of the English began to be very cold the greatness and riches of the Ecclesiasticks being envied by the Nobility and Gentry and the affections of the people alienated by the Sermons Pamphlets and secret insinuations of the begging Friers The Nobility and Commons being thus prepared the Statute of Mortmain easily passed A. D. 1279. 7. Edw. I. By this Act it was not allowed to any Religious person to enter upon any Fees either to buy them or to receive them of the gift of others without licence of the chief Lords upon pain of forfeiture and the reason of this Statute was because the services due from such Fees and which at the beginning were provided for the defence of the Realm are wrongfully withdrawn and the chief Lords do loose their escheats of the same Upon the making this Statute the Religious seem'd to complain and to supply the loss of new benefactions procured pensions privileges from paying Tithes and what the Church finds the inconvenience of to this very day Impropriations These last thoâ— they were sometimes used before yet after the enacting this law were obtained by Bulls from Rome on every small occasion A. D. 1295. the King seised all the Aliâ—n-Priories the rents and profits which issued out of them to foreign Monasteries in case they received as formerly being conceived of advantage to the Kings enemies In this King's time were founded three Monasteries of the Benedictine Order two Austin Priories three Cistercian Abbies one Preceptory and nine Colleges as also one Gilbertine Priory viz. Pulton in Wiltshire which was the last House of that Order in England In King Edward II. his Reign we find no great stir made about the Monks or their lands Indeed the Knights Templers were seised and their goods and revenues confiscated tho' they were not appropriated to any Secular use but settled on the Knights Hospitalers by Act of Parliament 17. Edw. II. In which Statute there are some things very remarkable which shew the opinion Parliaments in those times had of Church-lands It seemeth good these are the words of the Act to our Lord the King the Noblemen and others assembled in Parliament for the health of their Souls and the discharge of their consciences that whereas the Military Order of Temples were originally instituted for the defence of Christians and the Universal Holy Church subversion of the enemies of Christ and Christians and canoniz'd to the augmentation of the honour of God and liberal almsgiving That the foresaid lands and tenements in demesnes Lordships Services c. according to the wills of the givers shall be assign'd and delivered to other men of most holy Religion to the intent the fruits obventions and profits of the same lands tenements and other things may be converted and charitably disposed of to godly uses I can't meet with any Monastery founded by this unhappy Prince and indeed

given to the Chronicle that records how that St. Wilfrid A. D. 666. introduced that Rule or rather as others say improved the Orders of the English Churches by it And as for the Bull of Pope Constantine commanding that the Monks of Evesham should live under that Rule there are great probabilities that 't is forged and spurious and tho' 't was genuine it does not make much for the Patrons of the Benedictines because it follows in the next words that at that time A. D. 709. that Rule was very little used in England For Bede who hath given us a very accurate account of the state of Religion in this Isle till A. D. 731. hath nothing of Saint Bennet or his Rule And at the first Regulation of the Monks in England by Arch-bishop Cuthbert A. D. 747. in the great Synod at Clovesho there is not the least mention of it In this Council several things were amended relating to the Habit and manners of the Monks and according to the Canons thereof without doubt the Religious especially of the Province of Canterbury walked till the fatal invasions of the Danes who were very barbarous where ere they came in rifling and burning Monasteries and stripping wounding and very often killinâ— the poor Monks During their incursions Monkery and with it Christianity had almost been extinguished and there were scarce any remains of a Monastery save at Glastonbury and Abingdon And even at Winchester and Canterbury in King Alfred's time there was such a scarcity of Monks that Seculars were permitted to assist them in performing the Divine Offices Nay Gervasius saith that before St. Dunstan's time the name of Abbat was scarce heard of and very few had seen a Convent of Monks This Dunstan being promoted to the Archiepiscopal Seâ— and countenanced by King Edgar was the great restorer of the Monastick way of living by repairing the ruinous Churches and Religious Houses and placing Monks and Nuns in the room of Secular Canons It was by his advice that King Edgar made the second Reformation of our ancient English Monks in the Council of Winchester A. D. 965. To this end several Monks were sent for from Fleury and Corby in France who were to inform them in the particulars of St. Bennet's Order So little was that rule known then in England which several fondly imagine was generally received some hundreds of years before At this Synod was framed a general Constitution for our English Monâ—s composed partly out of the Rule of St. Bennet and partly out of the ancient customs of the English Devotees This was called Regularis concordia Anâ—licae Nationis and is published in Saxon and Latin by the Learned Selden in his Spicilegium after Eadmerus According to this Rule were Monasteries founded and governed in the Southern and more civilized part of Britain and their number encreased so very much that 〈◊〉 is King is recorded to have erected or rather re-founded fourty seven Neither were new Monasteries only founded but all the Lands which by the iniquity of the times had been taken away from Religious places were restored by the authority of the King and the care of Dunstan Arch-bishop of Canterbury Ethelwold Bishop of Winchester and Wulstan Bishop of Worcester After this Kings death the Secular Clergy began to lift up their heads again and were encouraged by Elfere Prince of Mercia who expelled the Monks out of all the Monasteries in that Province and restored the Secular Canons These things occasioned the contests between the Monks and Seculars at the Synods of Winchester Caln and Ambresbury in the time of King Edward the elder Where being convinced by pretended miracles or else over-ruled by the power of Arch-bishop Dunstan and others of the Monks party the Seculars made no great stir afterward and so the Monks quietly enjoyed their Lands till the Conquest But this must be understood only of the state of Monasteries in the South parts of the Isle in the Kingdom of the Northumbrians Monasteries were more frequent even from their first receiving Christianity For here the new Converts being mightily taken with the powerfull Preaching and exemplary lives of Aidan and the Scotch Monks were very zealous in building and endowing Religious Houses So great an opinion had they of the sanctity of those Monks and their way of living that it was very usual for their Nobles and very often their Kings and Queens to renounce the world as they call'd it and put on Religious Habits Not to make any mention here of the old Scottish Monks or Culdees of whom we had none in England except at St. Peter's in York because they were the same with the Monks of the Irish Rules As in the South parts of England 't was usual to send their children to France to learn the Monastick way of living so in the North they were sent into Ireland to the Monasteries there to be instructed in Learning But as Sim. Dunelmensis saith after the devastation of that Country by the Danes A. D. 867. who reduced the Churches and Monasteries to ashes Christianity was almost extinct very few Churches and those only built with hurdles and covered with straw were rebuilt but no Monasteries were re-founded for almost two hundred years after The Countrey people never heard of the name of a Monk and were frighted at their very Habit till three Monks from Winchelcomb brought again the Monastick way of living to Durham York and Whitby It may be necessary here to note 1 Something concerning the Nunneries before the Conquest That we had Nuns in the time of the Britains is very probable because the Irish and Scots allowed of them before St. Austin came into England and the Constitution of the British Churches were in a manner the same with them But if Leland's authority be allowed in this case I think it is clear enough to decide the controversie for he tells us of Nunneries in the time of the Britains more than once particularly of one at Caermarden What Monastick Rules so ever St. Austin might introduce we meet with none relating to religious Virgins Yet in the next Century we find them very frequent among the Saxons King Eadbald is recorded to have founded about A. D. 630. a Nunneâ—y at Folkstone in Kent which 't is likely was the first in England So according to this it must be an oversight in Mr. Weaver and Sir W. Dugdale to say that Barking in Essex was the first Nunnery in England which was not built till A. D. 680. About which time without doubt Nuns were in great plenty because we find in that year Domneva to have presided over no fewer than seventy in one Monastery in the Isle of Thanet And A. D. 694. Abbesses were in so great esteem for their Sanctity and Prudence that they were summon'd to the Council at Becanceld and the names of five and not one Abbat subscribed to the Constitutions there made Bishop Aidan
Covent to that purpose whose activeness was such that within the space of two years several Covents were wrought upon and Commissioners sent down to take them at their hands to the Kings use of which number I find that besides the before specified Doctors of Law scil Legh Petre and Layton and Dr. London Dean of Walingford there was Rob. Earl of Sussex Sir John St. Clere Sir Will. Pirton Sir Henry Farington Knights and Richard Devereux sometimes a Frier And of Gentlemen Anthony Fitz-Herbert afterwards one of the Iustices of the Common Pleas John Gage Will. Leland John Williams Tho. Mildmay ... Jobson Richard Cromwell Rob. Southwell Will. Parr Thomas Bedyll Henry Polsted John Anthony Edmund Knightly John Lane George Giffard John Grevill Sim. Mountfort Thomas Holt Roger Wigston Rob. Burgoin Richard Pollard Philip Parys John Smith Edw. Carn Rich. Gwent Will. Barners John Arnold John ap Rice and Rich. Paulet The truth is that there was no omission of any endeavour that can well be imagined to accomplish these surrenders For so subtilly did the Commissioners act their parts as that after earnest solicitation with the Abbats and finding them backwards they first attempted them with the promises of good Pensions during life whereby they found some forward enough to promote the work as the Abbat of Hales in Com. Gloc. was who had high commendation for it by the Commissioners as their Letters to the Visitor General do manifest So likewise had the Abbats of Ramsey and the Prior of Ely Nay somâ— were to be obsequious that after they had wrought the surrender of their own Houses they were imployed as Commissioners to perswade with others as the Prior of Gisborn in Yorkshire for one Neither were the Courtiers unactive in driving on this work as may seem by the Lord Chancellour Audley's imploying a special Agent to treat with the Abbat of Athelney and to offer him an hundred marks per annum Pension in case he would surrender which the Abbat refused insisting upon a greater sum And the personal endeavours that he used with the Abbat of St. Osithe's in Essex as by his Letter to the said Visitor wherein it is signified That he had by great solicitation prevail'd with the said Abbat but withall insinuated his desire that his place of Lord Chancellour being very chargeable the King might be moved for an addition of some more profitable Offices unto him Nay I find that this great Man the Lord Chancellour hunting eagerly after the Abby of Walden in Essex out of the ruines whereof afterwards that magnificent Fabrick called by the name of Audley-end was built as an argument the sooner to obtain it did besides the extenuation of its worth alledge That he had in this world sustained great damage and infamy in his serving the King which the grant of that should recompense Amongst the particular arguments which were used by those that were averse to surrender I find that the Abbat of Feversham alledg'd the antiquity of that Monasterie's foundation scil by King Stephen whose body with the bodies of the Queen and Prince lay there interr'd and for whom were used continual suffrages and commendations by Prayers yet it would not avail For resolv'd they were to effect what they had begun by one means or other in so much as they procured the Bishop of London to come to the Nuns of Sion with their Confessor to solicite them thereunto who after many perswasions Took it upon their consciences that they ought to submit unto the King's pleasure therein by God's Law But what could not be effected by such arguments and fair promises which were not wanting nor unfulfilled as appears by the largâ— Pensions that some active Monks and Canons had in comparison of others even to a fift and sixth fold proportion more than ordinary was by terrour and straight dealing brought to pass for under pretence of suffering dilapidation in the buildings or negligent administration of their Offices as also for breaking the Kings injunctions they depâ—ived some Abbats and then put others that were more pliant in their rooms From others they took their Covent Seals to the end they might not by making Leases nor sale of their Iewels raise money either for supply of their present wants or payment of their debts and so be necessitated to surrender Nay to some as in particular to the Canons of Leicester the Commissioners threatned That they would charge them with Adultery and Buggery unless they would submit And Dr. London told the Nuns of Godstow That because he found them obstinate he would dissolve the House by vertue of the Kings Commission in spite of their teeth And yet all was so managed as that the King was solicited to accept of them not being willing to have it thought they were by terrour moved thereunto and special notice was taken of them as did give out that their surrenders were by compulsion Which courses after so many throâ— under hand corruption had led the way brought on others apace as appears by their Dates which I have observed from the very Instruments themselves in so much as the rest stood amazed not knowing which way to turn them Some therefore thought fit to try whether money might save their Houses from this dismal fate so near at hand the Abbat of Peterburgh offering 2500. marks to the King and 300 l. to the Visitor General therein Others with great constancy refused to be thus accessary in violating the donations of their Pious Founders but these as they were not many so did they taste of no little severity For touching the Abbat of Fountains in Yorkshire I find that being charged by the Commissioners for taking into his private hands some Iewels belonging to that Monastery which they called Theft and Sacrilege they pronounced him perjured and so deposing him extorted a private resignation And it appears that the Monks of Charterhouse in the Suburbs of London were committed to Newgate where with hard and barbarous usage five of them died and five more lay at the point of death as the Commissioners signified but withall alledged That the Suppression of that House being of so strict a Rule would occasion great scandal to their doings forasmuch as it stood in the face of the world infinite concourse from all parts coming to that populous City and therefore desired it might be altered to some other use And lastly that under the like pretence of robbing the Church wherewith the before specified Abbat of Fountains was charged the Abbat of Glastonbury with two of his Monks being condemned to death was drawn from Wells upon a Hurdle then hanged upon the Hill called the Tor near Glastonbury his head set upon the Abby gate and his quarters disposed of to Wells Bath Ilchester and Bridgewater Nor did the Abbats of Colchester and Reading speed much better as they that shall consult
