At this time Father Ignatius was established in Norwich; it was in after years that he moved to Llanthony Abbey in the Black Mountains, a most appropriate choice of residence; and the campaign of contempt reached a ribald climax in the issue of July 15, 1865, which contained "A Modern Gregorian Tone: a Chaunt pointed according to the Use of Norwich." This Chaunt, which was founded on an actual dissension amongst the brotherhood, gives an extremely diverting account of the mutiny provoked by the rigorous dietary imposed by the Superior--with dispensations in his own favour. It is "funny without being vulgar." But the prose article on the next page, "Ignatius and his Monkeys," deviates into scurrility at the outset:-- It is not true that Brother Ignatius and the monks, his associates, have removed from their monastery at Norwich to the Zoological Gardens, Regent's Park, and there taken up their abode in the Monkey House. Where _Punch_ showed a want of justice as well as of perspective was in treating all or nearly all Ritualists as if they were on the same level with Father Ignatius. In 1869, when Mr. Mackonochie maintained the claim of "Church Courts for Church Causes," _Punch_ was not content with declaring that parsons were unfit to do legal justice; he challenged them to declare whether they were prepared to emulate the example and martyrdom of Becket; he bade them get their heads shaved or betake themselves to Rome. The "Pastoral to Mr. Mackonochie and Co." shows a slightly more conciliatory spirit, and admits that they were gentlemen and scholars, and did a great deal of practical good and hard work among the poor. None the less _Punch_ charges them with playing a game--"a game dangerous to your own morality and that of your party-spirited followers, who almost believe in your infallibility." Hence _Punch's_ final advice: "If you cannot become wholly Roman or wholly Greek, _set up for yourselves_, but do not remain the ecclesiastical mermen you are at present." The Purchas case was treated lightly at first in the lines on "The Dean and the Parson":-- DEAN OF RIPON TO PARSON PURCHAS DEAN (Sings)-- The Judges have spoken. Now don't be irascible: Off with your Tunicle, Stole, Alb and Chasuble. PARSON P. (Sings)-- That's true, Mr. Dean, but they also declare That a cope in Cathedrals all clergy must wear On high days and Sundays-- DEAN (Sings _fortissimo_)-- What me wear a cope! On Sunday or Anyday Go to the ---- Pope. (Exeunt in opposite directions.) [Sidenote: _A Ritualist A B C_]
