This work is an attempt to give some idea of the religious beliefs of the man in the street of the Middle Ages and to show how his life was affected by two great ecclesiastical institutions, the Religious House and the Parish Church. It is limited in scope, but it is hoped the scraps may illustrate the point of view of the ordinary man of the time and that the contrast between medieval and modern ideas may prove of interest to the reader.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
