Holand  (Ralph). — To  the  Master  and  Wardens  of  the  Frater-
nity of  Tailors  and  Armourers  of  Linen  Armour  of  S.  John  the
Baptist  in  the  City  of  London  he  leaves  divers  lands  and  tene-
ments at  the  corner  of  Adelane  in  the  parish  of  S.  Alban  de
Wodestrete  and  in  S.  Clement's  Lane  near  Estchepe,  as  well  as


1  What  the  ccmtut  orgamicus  con-
sisted of  appears  open  to  doubt.  Men-
tion is  made  of  it  in  the  'Statutes  of
St.  Paul's  Cathedral,'  edited  by  Dr.  W.
Sparrow  Simpson,  where  it  is  erpressly
forbidden  that  this  kind  of  music  should
be  sung  in  the  vestibule  of  the  church.
For  Sir  John  Stainer's  opinion  as  to
the  nature  of  this  music  the  reader  is
referred  to  Dr.  Simpson's  'Gleanings
from  Old  St.  Paul's  '  (p.  178).  The  late
Mr.  Alchin,  in  his  manuscript  Calendar
of  the  Wills  in  the  Court  of  Husting
(Part  I.,  Introd.,  p.  xxviii),  understood
these  words  to  mean  that  the  clerk  was
to  teach  the  organ.
1  S.  Antony  was  the  patron  saint  of


the  Pepperers  of  London,  from  whom
the  present  Company  of  Grocers  claim
descent.  As  to  the  connexion,  real  or
supposed,  between  the  Fraternity  of
Pepperers  and  the  trading  monks  of
S.  Antony,  the  reader  is  referred  to  the
Introduction  to  Facsimile  of  the  Com-
pany's earliest  Minute-Book  already
mentioned.
*  Stow  mentions  a  John  Carpenter,
D.D.,  as  having  been  Master  of  S.  An-
tony's Hospital  anno  20  Henry  VI.
At  one  time  Provost  of  Oriel  Col-
lege, Oxford,  and  Chancellor  of  Oxford,
Appointed  Bishop  of  Worcester  by  bull,
