The chaplain of Douvrend is ill- famed of drunkenness, and the priest of St. Laurent-le- Petit of selling his sacraments. Item, the priest of Etrun, of trading. Item the priest of Bailleul singeth not his vespers in the church. * There were repeated attempts to put down these wakes in England, from at least as early as 1240 to the verge of the Reformation ; see Wilkms, Concilia, I. , 675 ; II. , 706 ; III. , 68, 845 ; Grosseteste Epistolae, p. 74. Abp. Thoresby of York, for instance, ordained "... since it often Cometh to pass that folk assemble in the churches on the eves of holidays, who ought there to busy themselves in divine worship, or in prajdng for souls at the obsequies of the dead, yet who, turning to a reprobate mind, are intent upon noxious games and vanities, and sometimes worse still, grievously ofiending God and His saints whom they feign to honour, and making the house of mourning and funeral- prayer into a house of laughter and excess, to the most grievous peril of their own souls ; therefore we strictly forbid that any who come to these wakes or obsequies, especially within the aforesaid churches, should make or in any way practise wrestlings or foul sports [turpitu- dines], or anything else tending to error or sin.
