Ordynances articulis, and constituciones ordeyned and grarnted by the Worshypfull Maistres and Wardeynes in the Worship of the Bretherhed of Saynt Loye, att the Fest of Ester, with alle the hole company of the crafte of blaksmythes, who assemble in Seynt Thomas of Acres and thence to the Grey Freres of London. Founded and ordeyned atte the Fest of Ester, 1434, 12 Henry VI. These ordinances provide—that every servant (brother) pay 2_d._ quarterly, and every sister 1_d._ Strangers “for yncomyng,” pay 2_s._ A beadle of the Yeomanry to be appointed who was to receive from every brother “for his salari” one-halfpenny quarterly. “And whaune eny brother other sisster be passed to God the seyd bedell to have for his traveyle ij_d_.” Any member disobeying the orders “to be corrected be the Oversseer,” and disobeying the second time he “schalbe put oute of the crafte for evere.” New masters were to be chosen at the feast of St. Loy. “If therbe eny brother that telleth the Counseyle of the seyd Brethered to his master prentis or to eny other man he shall paye to the box ij_s._” Any brother scandalising another to be fined 12_d._ “Also at the quarter dai we will have baken conys as hit was be gonne.” Any master breaking the rule to pay 6_s._ 8_d._ All fines were halved—a moiety each to “the Mastres box,” and the Yeomen’s box. After some other orders follow a list of the fellowship members, sixty-seven in number, headed by John Lamborn, who was then, or had been, “Master of the Yomen.” Two of those signing the rules were the wives of two of the brethren, Stephen Manne and William Mapull. Although the Blacksmiths’ Guild was not in existence when St. Dunstan played his harp, and worked at his forge and anvil, we cannot forbear saying something about a prelate who has, more than any other, raised the reputation of the “art and mystery,” which after 500 years still flourishes within the boundaries of great London City, and at the time we are writing this gives a splendid proof that it is not wanting in will or way to attempt the improvement of the trade by advocating and supporting technical education.
