The surplices, vestments, &c.
---- men, to the, 149.

Chapman keeper of the garden at Hamptoncourt, 63, 68, 249, 253.
Chariot horses, brought, 103.
Doctor Percy in his notes on The Northumberland Household Book
conjectures that a chariot "bore no resemblance to the modern
carriage of that name, nor was intended for the same use, but was
simply a large waggon drawn by six or seven of the stronger kind
of horses, called, on that account, 'large trotting horses.'"
Mr. Markland, in his dissertation on Carriages in England,
_Archæologia_, vol. xx. p. 405, coincides with the view taken
of the point by Bishop Percy, and has cited several proofs in
confirmation of it. Unfortunately the entry in question throws no
light on the point, for the words "the chariot horses," might be
used in the modern acceptation or in that of those gentlemen, who
are however borne out in their opinion by the authorities which
they have adduced, and which are farther supported by the will of
Bartholomew Lord Burghersh, in 1369, who speaks of the "chariot"
which shall carry his corpse to the grave. Humphrey, Earl of
Hereford, in 1861, left legacies to his "vj charetters."
Charity, _vide_ Alms.
Chartesaye, _i. e._ Chelsea, 77, 148, _bis_, 253.
Chamley Master, 280.
"Chast greyhounds," the king's brought, 58, 174.
What was meant by the king's chaste greyhounds is difficult to
explain. That certain part of the greyhounds should be confined to
perpetual chastity, is not a little curious, if such was the fact;
but might not the word chaste have been used for "chace," _i. e._
greyhounds kept for the sole purposes of coursing, as distinguished
from those which were admitted to the parlour, and to the presence
of their royal master?
