Soc. , xiii, 207 (" Simp the sumner for his fees for excusing us from Nor- wich"). St. Mary Woolchurch Haw, London, Acc'ts, s. A. 1594 54 The Elizabethan Parish. [356 whom the chief were the apparitors, or summoners, and their underlings. There is a very interesting contemporary ballad entitled "A new Ballad of t\\e Parrator and the Divell, " attributed by its modern editor to not later than 1616, which throws much light on the proceedings of cer- tain unscrupulous apparitors, and reflects also... the strong dislike entertained for the whole tribe of apparitors by people of the time. 184 The devil going a hunting one Sun- day and beating the bushes, up starts a proud apparitor. During several stanzas the apparitor narrates to the devil, as one consummately wicked man to another, all the tricks of his trade to drum up cases for himself and his court. He spies on lovers as they pass unsuspecting; he haunts the ale-houses and overhears men's tales over their cups ; if business be dull he even devises scandal among neighbors, and sets them at enmity.
