" include frontals and upper
frontals, the latter taking the place of the reredos, or being used to
cover it at ordinary times. Some of these hangings may be "riddels" or
curtains to hang at the ends of the altar. These used to hang at right
angles to the reredos, and close to the altar ends.

[49] _I.e._, a funeral pall.

[50] Shamrock or trefoil.

[51] A cushion to lay the altar book upon. Such cushions were often
very rich and handsome, and in the days of large books and fine
bindings were almost necessary. They were much more general than desks.

[52] _I.e._, a frontal; the same word is used in the Canon of 1603,
which orders a frontal.

[53] Four great standard candlesticks to stand on the pavement before
the altar. Large churches often had more than two standard lights. The
pair of small standards (the next entry) were probably for one of the
lesser altars.

[54] Probably included under "Latten" by mistake or carelessness.

[55] _Ibid._

[56] _Ibid._

[57] This ornament was used in one or two processions when the Holy
Eucharist was carried. The "burrall" is the glass in the middle wherein
the Sacrament was placed. Only rich churches possessed this ornament,
which was of very late introduction. It is needless to add that the
still more modern service of Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament was
never in use in England.

[58] Probably to stand on the high altar.

[59] Perhaps held a relic.

[60] To stand on the high altar for ornament.

[61] Two censers were commonly carried side by side in procession in
England.

[62] Incense-boat.

[63] The "maser" is quoted as "given to the Wardens when they meet to
drink on."
