Excerpt from Calendars of Al-Hallowen, Brystowe: An Attempt to Elucidate Some Portions of the History of the Priory or Ffraternitie of Calendars, Whose Library Once Stood Over the North, or Jesus Aisle of All Saints Church, BristolThe Author requests his readers to observe that though he will occasionally be found using, as in justice he should, the language of praise with respect to the habits of the Calendar Brethren. He does not pledge himself to an unqualified approbation of all that was said, taught, or done, either by themselves or others during the same ages of the Christian Church. That though he has felt that as a Parish Priest he ought to extol devotedness, prayerfulness, and self-denial in religious duties, he is not to be charged with advising these to be performed prem'sely as they were exhibited several centuries ago that though he is bound as a truthful Christian man to recommend certain good habits, now, alas! Rarely adopted, he is not to be accounted an anti-reformer merely because he speaks of persons who practised those habits before the Reformation.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
