Extract

The institution proposed for the subject of the following memoir, is of very ancient and even divine original: and as it has undergone, at times and in different countries, so many alterations and revolutions, and I may add such horrible and scandalous abuses, the history of its various fate and fortune may deservedly become a proper object of enquiry and elucidation.

And in Wales, a person might go out of an asylum, and be safe, if he carried relicks with him, but then the relicks could not uphold or protect him if he committed any evil acts. Legg. Hoel Dda, lib. ii. c. 8. They are held here in the same estimation as a cross or a crucifix, v. infra, p. 34.

One copy there, however, rates the hundred at 61.
