OLD ST. rAUL'S.
Tbe London Alhcnuum, in a re SS..ot "th
Anuala of at. Paul's Cathedral," givea the
following Interesting sketch of the Bite, aul
the building which preceded the preaeiit
one:
Dean Mil wan ignores London before the
Roman period; but li admits that the hill on
Which the. Cathedral alaudi must have been of
importance in every period. The theory that
templa to Diana was erected thero is
Biiecgtheufd by the discovery, in 1830, when
excavations for the fouudatiou of Ooidauiitua
Hall were being luado, of a stone altar bear
ing the image of the goddess. The Dean
adds, in reference to the story of a tainple to
Apollo having preceded the Abbey at West
minster, "My dear frfeud, the Daan of West
minster lnunt produce an image of Apollo, as
like that of the Belvidere as this to the Diana
Cf the Louvre, before ha can fairly compete
with us for the antiquity of heathen worship."
A Roman camp, a Saxon temple, theu an
episcopal see fixed in London by Meilitus, the
companion of fct. Angnatine; next a cathedral
Luilt by Kthelbert King of Kent, with the
eanolion ol Sebert, King of the Eist Angles; a
relapse to heathenism, and finally the resto
ration ol Ht. Paul's by the. famous St. Krkou
wa'.d, ;aly in the seventh century, and often
to be swept by lire, are iuoidents of the early
history tf the great Lutidou hill and its
Summit. Among gifts lu.viu to the church,
that by Lhelbert to the estate of Tilling ham,
lissix, ' even low contributes largely to the
mainteuaiice of the fabric."
Among the bishops of the IS'ormau pariod
perhaps the most remarkable was Gilbert, the
great philosopher, who loved money as union
as philosophy. After his death, his boots,
full of gold and silver, were carried to the
Exchequer, and the people held that the most
consummate of philosophers might bit the
greatest of fools. The king who seized the
oash thought otherwise. After a nutY cathe
dral church had been built, such a on 3 as
made the wielders of Wren's pickaxes
blaspheme as they battered at the ruins
left by the Great Fire, it became the
Scene of high events. The citizens had
acquired such an opinion of their power
that tney believed ttiey possessed, in fact,
what was allowed them in theory, the right
of naming their king when the throne was
vacant. Few things more stirred the Lon
doners to wrath than to hear thdir king called,
in papal decrees, the Pope's "vassal." The
presence ot foreign prelates, lording it in the
capital, stirred the pulses of those valiant citi
zens. The Eugli&h clergy themselves bowed
the head with shame at the subjection and
slavery in which they w-re held by Italiaas,
and many gave loud and iudiguant tongue to
their feelings. Lay citizeu.s and clergy alike
beheld with aversion the gorgeous spectacle
of a papal legate enthroned in St. Pail's,
and placing himself above the sovereign by
enacting laws and enforcing money tributes,
and playing lord paramount over them.
The Londoners were ' men who would not
endure oppression from the King himself;
Btill less would they tolerate that the King
should be accounted- a vassal" by the
Pope. In no place did the national senti
ment on this matter find more lusty expres
sion than in and about St. Paul's. These
Londoners loved not tyranny at any man's
Lands; and they resented ill words the same
as 111 deeds. When they cried, "Dawn with
the Inns of Court I" because they hated the
lawyers generally, and Archbishop Sudbury,
the Chauoellor, in particular, Sudbury was
indiscreet enough to call the sufficiently irri-
fnta1 T.nv-.ilrtiiA.ra "a Q V j vi V.l.la t ff maa
w- an aspersion on their gentility. They, there-
iuie, uuuueu vueir neat suoes, went aooui st.
Paul's, took counsel together, grasped tight
bold of their weapons, and murdered Sud
bury outright. The pious but angry fellows
made a distinction. They would not lay rude
Land on the prelate, they only murdered the
Chancellor.
From a very early period, however, the
popular voioe and. the popular presenoe esta..
Wished themselves somewhat rudely in St.
Paul's. In Edward the Third's time petty
dealers exposed their wares for gale inside the
church. The more sacred the day the more
active was the maYket; and the fair in nave
and aisles was most thronged while service or
sermon was going on within hearing. With
this there was -orse sacrilege, such as Lam
beth Marsh.-and Bethnal Green cannot now
matcbn their worst Sundays. The summits
Ixirhe pillars, their traoery work, and about
, ""the rich cornices were the coigns of vantage
f oooupied by multitudes of birds, especially
pigeons and jackdaws. It was the delight
of the London lads of the day to carry
their bows and arrows to the interior of the
Cathedral and to amuse themselves in
bringing down the birds, and with them, of
course, some bit of sculptured ornament
struck by their bolts. All sorts of noisy
games were at the same time carried on both
within and without the ehurch, and many
a beautiful and costly painted window was
mutilated by these Londoners, who were,
however, sufficiently pious to pause for 'a
while when they were threatened with ex
communication. When the voioe of the
threatener died out and left no echo, the ap
prentices and nice young gentlemen of those
days were at their iniquitous fun again.
Meanwhile, every possible . iustration of
ecclesiastical grandeur was to be seen there
too; royal funeral pomps, marriage solemni
ties, episoopal enthronations, solemn convo
cations, fierce and uncharitable debatings, and
most memorable the proclamation of the
first capital sentenoe under the writ for burn
ing heretics, A. D. 1400. The proclamation
could not deter free inquirers from reading
the "Lantern of Light," which was a good
look that was a scandal to "ultra Papists."
These cried "lire and fagot I" but
many a wise man in the devout con
gregation of St. Paul's agreed with their
ASishop, Pecock, who averred that "the clergy
Will be condemned at the last day, if by free
Will they draw not men into consent of true
faith otherwise than by fire and sword and
Langment." On the other hand, there were
men of authority in St. Paul's who would not
take even a heretic's life but on warrant of
Scripture When a religious man desired to
destroy a religious opponent who was skepti
cal and inquiring, it was hard if he could not
find a text that should suit his purpose. A
weak spirit or two once breathed a prayer for
mercy towards the Lollards. "Mercy!" cried
one who had that dangerous thing, a "little
learning', "What does St. Paul say, 'Ilereti
cum honiinem post unam et alteram corrup
tionem, devitar "Da vita!" he repeated with
fiercer empbaBis, as meaning not devita,
"Avoid him," but "Out of life with him!"
and heretios were destroyed through this in
terpretation of a clerical jester, who saw no
Joke in heresy.
In the most dangerous of these periods the
cathedral itself hardly illustrated a Berious
religious sentiment. There were preachings,
prayings, and recantings enough in the Church
and at the famous Cross, but the temple was
also a city market, a fashionable place of re
sort, a trysting-polnt for people who met for
various purposes, and an exchange for the
transaction of affairs and collecting of news.
The pillars and the walls of the nave were
covered with adyertlaemeuts, seouUr M well
as clerical. There was a reading ol these, and
a dircussing and a walking to and fro, anl a
chaptering aud milling, with now anl then a
gallant or citizen or buxom wench who would
compound for the profanation by turning a-Hde
for a minute or two to worship at mass or
listen to a sermon when the latter was in
English, ad populum. It is curious to ob
serve how, while these things were tole
rated, email observances were enforced.
If an apprentioe entered the church
with his cap on, or a gallant kept
covered, he was rudely brought to civility by
the vergers. Ueggars would totter in, out of
the hot summer sun or the winter snow, and,
weary, filthy, aud sleepy, would lie down in
the midst of clean worshippers. The vergers
had to ronse these unwholesome visitants aul
bid them move on I The nave, too, was at one
time the favorite walking plaoe of all the frail
and saucy beauty of the city. In very early
times these damsels, when caught, and espe
cially if they were dressed more demonstra
tively than the law allowed, were fiddled out
of the city in mock procession, which only left
the not deeply blushing ollenders at the eu
tiauce to Cock Lane. The readers of "Ned
Ward" will remember that, in more resent
days, the public mad galleries at St. Luke's
were to these persons what St. Paul's wai
before, and the Quadrant became in oar own
period. Dean Milman thinks that in the
eailier times, the instructions for keeping ob
jectionable personages out of the cathedral
were seldom or never carried out with rigid
severity.
As theperiod of the Reformation approached
and was reached, it cannot be said that man
ners improved. Morals and customs hardly
knew a change. The ruthless destruction of
beautiful realities, as well as of things en
couraging harmless sentiment, was a disgrace
to all concerned. Dean Mihuau alludes to a
curious and not creditable letter about a rich
! cross, adorned with )eweis, secretly taken
from the church by Smyth?, a residentiary,
and presented to Aline lioleyn, with the un
derstanding that he would have her favor iu
certain transactions with the Dean and
Chapter. The things done openly were even
worse than this stealing aud receiving. The
old preaching could not have been in
accordance with practice, or the people would
have thought aud spoken more becomingly of
what the priests had described as the Real
Presence, while they acted as if there WA3
neither Presence nor Reality. Popular slaag
calledjthe mystery of the Saoracueut by
the irreverent appellation of "Jaok-in-the-box."
Popular poets wrote coirse aud vulgar
ballads, which were answered from the other
side in ballads equally coarse and vulgar,
snug iu 6V.pport of religion and purity.
"Ridley preached iu vaiu. Sunday after Suu
day the Cathedral was thromjed, not with
decent and respectable citizens, bat with a
roisy rabble, many of them boys, to hear un
seemly language on that solemn rite, so sacred
to all religious minds, so passionately adored
by those of the old faith."
Yet all laws intended to preserve the Cathe
dral from public profanation seem to have been
disregarded. The people appeared to consider
it their own house and ground, at least when
it was not used for some especially gorgeous
Church or State ceremony. Under the Tudors
the public had established a right of way. The
thoroughfare was theirs as unquestioned as
Cheapside. Lrewers traversed it from north
to south or south to north with their laden
drays drawn by their clattering teams of
heavy horsse; bakers passed through with
their loaves on their head, or drove through
in their carts; mules, horses, dogs, all were
employed, as well as men, iu the porterage of
every species, often of the heaviest wares; and
the noisiest thoroughfare in Loudon was this
road through St. Paul's Cathedral. Every
attempt to suppress the abuse, save the pro
hibition of passage for quadrupeds, seems to
have failed, fine and imprisonment were not
sufficient to deter offenders. Elizabeth, how
ever, took means to succeed better than her
predecessors in restoring something like de
corum and suppressing anything approach
ing to riot. She set up a pillory in the
church-yard, close to the bishop's residence.
The first man fixed in it was condemned for
a fray in the church. Fired is the suitable
term, seeing that he was nailed by the ears to
the post, and he was unfixed simply by cut
ting his head away from them, when the un
lucky fellow was sent earless home.
Elizabeth would have no more shooting, no
more arrow-Hying, no more drawing of dag
gers either within or near the Cathedral; no
more dealing therein was to be allowed, no
walking up and down, nobarganing. loitering,
gossiping, no profanation of any sort, during
divine service. At other hours ot the day
the open Cathedral nave wa3 the show-ground
of fashion the asylum of those who shunned
daylight. Paul's Walk had its moodish
hours and its moodish ways, and gradually
even Queen Less' proclamation became but as
idle thnnder. Horses and mules did not re
cover their right or custom of entry, but
every other nuisance did. The idle went
there out of idleness; the hungry were there
when other men were at the ordinaries; and
the former were said to dine with Duke
Humphrey, whom popular error trans
ferred from his tomb in St. Alban's to one
which was occupied by a Ueauchamp in St
Paul's. In his lifetime the good Dake never
let hungry guest depart with the appetite he
brought with him, for he was the most hospi
table of hosts, and he especially loved to have
scholars at his table. With the idle and the
hungry were plumed cavaliers, and thieve3
looking after their purses; painted women
ogling tools, ana rntuans watching the women.
Merchants congregated qn ground of their
own; gulls read swindling advertisements,
or yielded themselves to rascals who lived
by them. Parasites walked by the
side of haughty patrons, and
llattered them loudlv as they walked;
others made savory jests, at which their
patrons smiled with a scorn as if they were
half indignant that they could be bronght to
sniue ai anymmg. mere was not a more
fashionable, and at the same time a more vil
lainous locality. If it was a scandal to divines,
it was also a study for dramatists. Comedy
and i arce borrowed examples from it, and
exaggerated nothing they had borrowed. The
middle aisle of bt. Paul's occupies the staee
iu me tuiru. nut ui uvu juubou 8 n, rem Man
um of xiis uumor. u is peopled by itffpu
dence, rasoalry, and uncleanness. "Shift,"
the knave of the play, posts, without being
observed, certain bills on the walls, and as
Dean Milman remarks, "Precious bills they
were to be read on the walls of a church!"
Lutsalth "Shift," "If I were to deny the
manuscripts, I were worthy to be br.nished the
middle aisle forever." The noise that pre
vailed there was compared by Liihop Earls
to that of bees "a strange hum mixed of
walking, toDgues, and feet," and, as he
sharply notes, "were the steeple not sanoti
fied, nothing liker Label." It was the very
statute fair of clerical hirelings themselves;
"it is," says L'arb, "the market of young
lecturers whom you may oheapen here,
at all rates and sizes." When reformation
entirely changed this soene, this class of
men still lingered about the plaoe, like
disengaged actors at a stage-door. Iu later
years they were the "tattered cassocks" who
paced the precincts, the "threepenny cu
rates," who dozed iu the hoses of the Chap
ter Coffee House, waiting to be hired. They
were not exacting, as their designation im
plies. They were ready to read service or
sermon for twopenoe and a onp of ooffie.
These men, too, have long sinoe disappears!.
Their immediate successors were the "Jobbing
Parsons," prouder fellows, who would do
another man's duty for a guinea, yet who
were not so proud but they would perform it
for half the money. In the present day
clerical agencies furnish substitutes at rea
sonable prices, and some of these gentlemen
are "ordinals" of the very rarest quality.
Hut to return for an instant to the period of
JJisLop Karla (ob. Hit-hop of Salisbury, IGiJj),
it is to be observed that Paul's Walk then was
what the Sioek Exohange is now, in one re
spect. There were invented half the onrrent
Jokes of the day; there were coined aud
stamped half the lies that bewildered simple,
honest souls. Looking at the plaoe in
another of its phases, it was the "Finish," at
which rakes, blood, swash-bucklers, aud all
fast individuals bv whatever other name de-
sinated, cousummited the day's iniquity.
Alter the play, alter the tavern, after issuing
from places of re-tort which the Liehop names
without scruple, "men have still some oatha
left to swear hre." At Mi time, moreover,
one circumstance iu the fashion of the
place is remarkable. The sisterhood wa3 no
more to be seen tha-i the horses and mules.
"The vi.-iitanta," says the liishop, "are all
men without . exception, but the prin
cipal inhabitants aud possessors are stale
knights aud captains out of service; men of
long rapiers aud breeches," aul so forth. The
very senses are shocked by some of the details
to be read about St. Paul's and the inleoen
cies openly practised there. It was spared no
profanation, in the worst of acts as well as
the worst of words. Heathen temples had
the homage of a cleaner respect from poor
pagans. A couple of snakes painted cross
wise ou the exterior saved each temple from
all ollense; but at St. Paul's there was no
respect for the sacred edifice, outside or
inside.
After fire, neglect, violence, decay, and
other causes hud led to a condition which
necessitated the works of reparation
by Inigo Jonos, in Charle3 the
First's reign, one of the many means
for providing the suui3 required to com
plete the work was the levying of heavy
mulcts for moral delinquencies, aud applying
them for the completion of the Cathedral. The
oftenermen offended against morality the bet
ter for the funds of the Cathedral. Such
offenders were lined heavily for their pleasant
est sins, and we are told "the common saying
spread abrol again that, in another sense,
St. Paul's was restored out of the sins of the
people." We may add that Inigo Jones, with
all his genius, marred what he was set to
make whole. His work wa3 that of a ruthless
restorer, lie defaced what was left of the o'd
Gothic beauty, and faced the west entrance
with a Roman portico. It was like painting
the portrait of a man in mixed costume be
longing to ages wide apart.
The example, however, served bad purpose
in the succeeding century. When the boy
Louis the Fifteenth recovered from the attack,
supposed to be smallpox, the people of Metz
manifested their gratitude to uod by destroy
ing the picturesque glory of their Cathedral.
They added the portico, which still masks its
leautv. The smallpox itself could not more
eliectually distroy the grace ot feature ana
expression in man.
The details of the great fire, which destroyed
this restored St. Paul s, are taken from Pepys,
Evelyn, and Taswell. As a whole, the Cathedral
dated from William the Conqueror, but it had
undereone many a change between its ere
ation and its fall. The Westminster Roys
worked like men in dome their utmost to
check the fire, nnd tho honor is awarded them
ot having been most instrumental in saving
St. Dunstan's-in-the-.b.ast. liurnet remarks
that he never heard of any person being burnt
or tredden to death at the fire. .
