[Vwoolf] Better late than never (an occasional series)

[Stuart N. Clarke]

Partly unidentified quotations, “As for the ‘seven religious men’ and the ‘seven poor folk’ who should, at this very moment, be praying for the souls of Sir John and his parents ...”, in “The Pastons and Chaucer” (E4 20 & 36n3)

may be from Sir John Fastolf’s will, 3 Nov 1459:

“I [...] do founde [...] and indewe withinne the seid mancion a collage of vij. religeous monkys or pristes, to preye for the soules above seyd in perpetuite, [...] they [...] to fynde vij. pore folke yeerly in perpetuite in the seyd mancion of Castre to preye for the soulis above seyd in perpetuite.”
“The Paston Letters”, vol. 3, p. 149.
