But for three days before Easter the bells be silent, as shall be said hereafter. [Footnote 365] Also the bells be silent in time of an interdict, because often for the fault of those put under them the tongue of the preachers is hindered; according to that of the Prophet, 'I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, for they are a rebellious house'; [Footnote 366] that is, for the people are disobedient. [Footnote 365: See Appendix.] [Footnote 366: Ezekiel iii, 26.] The Church also hath organs, of which we shall speak hereafter. [Footnote 367] [Footnote 367: Durandus, in his fourth book, chapter xxxiv, '_Of the Sanctus_,' says, 'Moreover in this conceit of angels and men, the organs do from time to time add their harmony: the which was introduced by David and Solomon, who did cause hymns to be sung at the sacrifice of the Lord, with the concert of organs and other instruments of music, and the people also to join in chorus.'] {81} CHAPTER V OF CEMETERIES AND OTHER PLACES, SACRED AND RELIGIOUS Holiness of Places; its Origin--Difference between Sacred, Holy, and Religious--Different Names for Cemetery--First use of Cemeteries--Who are not to be Buried in the Church--Ancient Method of Burial--Who are to be Buried in a Cemetery. 1. Now we will Speak of cemeteries and other sacred and religious places. Of consecrated places, some be appropriated to human necessity, others to prayers. Those of the first sort be a _xenodochium_ or _xenostorium_, which is the same: a _vasochonium_, a _gerontocomium_, an _orphanotrophium_, a _brephotrophiuin_. For holy fathers and religious princes have founded places of this kind, where the poor, the pilgrims, old men, orphans, infants, men past work, the halt, the weak, and the wounded should be received and attended. And note that _geronta_ in Greek is the same as _senex_ in Latin. But of places appropriated to prayer, there be that are _sacred_, there be that are _holy_, and there be that are _religious_. {82} 2. _Sacred_ be they which by the hands of the bishop have duly been sanctified and set apart to the Lord, and which be called by various names, as hath been said in the section on Churches. _Holy_ be they which have immunity or privilege: and be set apart for the servitors or ministers of the Church, concerning which, under threat of condign punishment, either by the canon law or by special privilege, it is ordained that no man shall presume to violate them. Such be the courts of churches, and in some places the cloisters, within which be the houses of the canons. To which when criminals of whatever kind betake themselves they have safety. And so according to the statutes of the civil law be the gates and theatres of cities.
