( 41 ) And to him is owing the beginning of another class among the officers of our CATHEDRAL CHURCH OF WELLS. 85 church, who still remain among us ; I mean the Vicars. The institution of this order is closely connected with certain changes which were going on about this time in our own and in other capitular bodies, and which produced the distinction which I have already men- tioned, and with which we are all familiar, between Residentiary and Non-residentiary Canons. All the old capitular bod...ies were framed upon one general model, the essential features of which they retain to this day. But, amid this general likeness, each church has its own personal peculiarities ; it would be impos- sible to find two Old Foundation cathedrals in England which are exactly alike in the names, numbers, and duties of their officers. And so with the change of which I am now about to speak ; it happened in all the secular cathedrals with the single exception of Llandaff ; but it was not brought about in all by exactly the same stages nor at exactly the same time.
