"Et quant il se leva tout esmeu, il trouva icelluy qui mourait de froit, il le porta en sa maison, et alluma du feu, et se estudia à le chauffer, et comme il ne le pouvait eschauffer nullement, il se doubta qu'il ne défaillit par froit, et le porta en son lict, et le couvrit dilligemment. Et, un peu après, celui qui lui était apparu comme malade et lépreux monta très resplendissant ès cieulx et dit à son oste: 'Julien, Notre-Seigneur m'a envoyé à toi et te mande qu'il a receu ta pénitence, et tous deulx reposerez en Notre-Seigneur dedans un peu de temps.' Tantost celluy s'évanouit (_disparut_). Et lors, un peu après, Julien et sa femme, pleins de bonnes œuvres et d'aulmônes, reposèrent en Notre-Seigneur."--_Légende Dorée._ [95] L'abbé Guérin: _Les Petits Bollandists._ [96] So terrible were the Northmen, so outrageous the atrocities which they committed, that the canons of S.

[98] _Nefs_ or _Navettes_ were vessels in the shape of boats used by the church for incense--hence incense-boat. Later on, they took the form of complete ships, with ropes, yards, &c., often upon wheels, and placed in the centre of the table at banquets. They contained spices, wine, drinking-cups, and spoons, in order to guard the guests against that bugbear of the Middle Ages, poison.

[106] From time immemorial, the space to the West of the church was called _Parvis paradisus_, the terrestrial paradise which led by the celestial Jerusalem. [107] This is the date given by Mézeray. Hénaut gives it as the 17th December.
