116: In the vestry of the church of East Moulsey is suspended a map of considerable size, showing the land that has been left to the parish for the sustentation of the church. The land ought to produce 120_l._ but some years since the parishioners engaged in a law-suit respecting a pew in the church, and lost the suit, and the income from the charity land was year by year absorbed in the payment of the debt then incurred. One evidence brought forward to prove the faculty was the following inscription, which is still (or was till lately) _over the altar_, painted at the foot of a _daub_, having the Ten Commandments surrounded by drapery, &c.:-- "In lieu of the Commandments formerly written on the wall (when by consent of the parish he made his pew) these tables were placed here by--Mr. Benson, MDCCXII." 117: _Gentleman's Magazine_, A.D. 1780, p. 364. 118: We are so used to speak of the _seats_ in church, that we commonly forget the more proper appellation of _kneeling_. This, however, was not always so. An old metal plate formerly on a pew in a church in the diocese of Oxford, has this inscription:-- "No 83. Vicar and Churchwardens, two kneelings. Trustees of Poor House three kneelings." 119: See _History of Pues_, p. 37. 120: "Item. Paid to good wyfe Wells for salt to destroy the fleas _d._ in the _Churchwardens' Pew_ vi. _St. Margaret's Accounts._ _Dublin Review_, xiii. 121: So called, as some suppose, because it could be _folded_ and removed when necessary. 122: Joel ii. 17. 123: Injunctions of Edward VI. and Queen Elizabeth. 124: See _Wheatly on the Common Prayer_, p. 161. 125: "The earliest examples remaining are of wood, many of them beautifully carved, as at Bury and Ramsay, Huntingdonshire; Swancombe, Debtling, and Lenham, Kent; Newport, Essex; Hawstead, Suffolk."--Parker's _Glossary_. There are beautiful examples of brass lecterns at Magdalene and Merton Colleges, Oxford, in most of our cathedrals, and many parish churches. 126: Derived from the French _aile_, a wing. It is no uncommon thing to hear persons who ought to know better talk about _side_ aisles, as if there were any other than side aisles. 127: Derived from the Greek, ἁγιος [hagios], holy, and σκοπἑω [skopeô], to view. There are very good specimens at St. Clement's, Sandwich, and at St. Mary's, Gloucester. The latter has three compartments. 128: In some few churches--as at Rottingdean, Sussex--the chancel, by the deviation of its north or south wall from the line of the nave, represent the inclined head of our Lord upon the cross. 129: The German word for piscina is Wasserhälter, _water-holder_.
