^{page 25 note a} It is not very clear what the words “Penitauncery of Poules” mean. I conceived them to indicate an ecclesiastical court; but it has been suggested, on high authority, that they, more probably, mean an episcopal prison, the use of which, as regarded suspected heretics, was sanctioned by an Act of the 2 Henry IV. I do not however find, in Dugdale's History of St. Paul's, any trace of either a court or prison so named attached to the metropolitical cathedral. Under the word “Pœnitentiaria,” Ducange has “Tribunal Romanum cui præest Pœnitentiarius Major,” and he defines “Pœnitentiarius” to be a dignity instituted in cathedral churches by the Council of Trent (Session 24, cap. 8, and Sess. 14, cap. 7), having power to absolve in reserved cases. He adds, however, that this dignity existed long before the Council of Trent. (Ducange, , v. 326.Google Scholar) The name of an office might very soon pass into the name of a place; and, in modern English, this change has occurred with reference to this very word.
