The Vicar of Morwenstow: Being a Life of Robert Stephen Hawker, M.A.
Baring-Gould, S. (Sabine)
Hawker, Robert Stephen, 1803?-1875
Mark vii. 21; _cf._ also Prov. xxiii. 6, xxviii. 22; Matt. vi. 23;
Luke xi. 34; Matt. xx. 15.
Footnote 33:
How a thing can be “chronicled in a myth” is not easy to understand.
Myths not infrequently get recorded, not chronicled.—_S. B.-G._
Footnote 34:
This sermon is given approximately only. Mr. Hawker always preached
extempore. It is a restoration; and a restoration from notes can never
equal the original.
Footnote 35:
Afterwards Lord Portsmouth.
Footnote 36:
Four lines in the last verse I have supplied, as the copy sent me was
defective.—_S. B.-G._
Footnote 37:
There is considerable doubt as to the origin of the name Sangraal,
Sangrail or Sangreal. It has been variously derived from Sang-réal,
True Blood, and from Sanc-Grazal, the provençal for Holy Cup. The
latter is the most probable derivation.
Footnote 38:
On 1st Oct., Lammas Day, the eucharistic bread was anciently made of
the new corn of the recent harvest. This custom Mr. Hawker revived.
Footnote 39:
_Institutes_, lib. ii., c. 2, sect. 12.
Footnote 40:
_Ibid._, sect. 18.
Footnote 41:
Note in _Ecclesia_, 1841.
Footnote 42:
Then returned to Yorkshire.
Footnote 43:
In the previous month, October.
Footnote 44:
The photographs taken on this occasion were by Mr. Thorn of Bude
Haven. The most admirable one is of Mr. Hawker standing in his porch
to receive visitors. He was, however, afterwards taken by Mr. Thorn at
Bude, with his wife and children. That of him in surplice and stole is
by Mr. Hawke of Plymouth.
Footnote 45:
Through the kindness of Mr. Hawker’s relatives, I have been furnished
with every letter that passed on the subject of his death, and
reception into Roman communion. In not one of them is it asserted that
he asked to have Canon Mansfield sent for: the last expression of a
wish was, that he might go back to Morwenstow.
Footnote 46:
_De Baptismo Adultorum_: “Amentes et furiosi non baptizentur, nisi
tales a nativitate fuerint: tunc etiam de iis judicium faciendum est,
quod de infantibus atque in fide Ecclesiæ baptizari possunt. Sed si
dilucida habeant intervalla, dum mentis compotes sunt, baptizentur, si
velint. Si vero antequam insanirent, suscipiendi Baptismi desiderium
ostenderint, ac vitæ periculum immineat, _etiamsi non sint compotes
mentis, baptizentur_. Idemque dicendum est de eo, qui _lethargo_ aut
phrenesi laborat, ut tantum vigilans et intelligens baptizentur, _nisi
periculum mortis impendeat_, si in eo prius apparuerit Baptismi
desiderium.”
Footnote 47:
