cc'ts_, 98, where the times of collection are named. [274] See, among others, Ludlow Acc'ts, _Shrop. Archit_. (etc.) _Soc_., iii, 127 (1567), where the name occurs. Also St. Edmund's, Sarum, Acc'ts, _Wilts Rec. Soc_. for 1896, p. 141 (1592). [275] _E.g._, at St. Edmund's, Sarum, or at St. Martin's, Leicester. [276] See, _e.g_., J.E. Foster, _St. Mary the Great_ (Cambridge) _Acc'ts_, 148 ff. Offerings of the masters of arts and of the bachelors form a distinct feature here. [277] See pp. 41 ff. and 59 _supra_. In the _Morebath Acc'ts_ (ed. J.E. Binney, p. 178) we read, _s.a._ 1553-4, as a heading to the receipt items: "Now to pay y'e forsayd dettis & demawndis y'e schall hyre of all our resettis y't we have resseuyed, & how gentylly for y'e moste p[ar]te men have payd of there owne devoc[i]on w[i]t[h] out ony taxyn or ratyng as y'e schall hyre here after." Then follows a list of 30 names. There is evidently some sort of rough assessment here, _e.g_., Nicholas at Hayne pays 4s. 9d., "consyderyng hys bothe bargayns" _(i.e_., small farms). Cf. _St. Edmund and St. Thomas, Sarum, Acc'ts_, p. xviii and p. 317. [278] Five years later, the vicar dead, the clerk was ordered to assist the wardens in receiving the 'paskall pence' whether paid at Easter or at any other time of communion. Hill and Frere, _Memorials of Stepney Parish_, 4-5 and 13-14. [279] Ordered by St. Edmund's, Sarum, vestry in 1628: "that the bread and wyne for the Communion shalbe paid for by the auncyennt paymentt of the halfepence, and yf it shall com[e] to more ... Jt shalbe supplied out of the rest of the mony given after the Co[m]munion." _St. Edmund and St. Thomas Acc'ts (Wilts Rec. Soc.)_, 187. [280] These levies were 2-1/2d. on each householder at St. Margaret, Lothbury, London; 3d. a house at St. Lawrence Pountney, London (_History of St. Laurence Pountney_, by H.B. Wilson [1831], 125 ff.). Etc. At Salehurst, Sussex, the fee was 1d. a poll yearly, heads of households being empowered in 1585 to abate that sum from their servants' wages: _Sussex Arch. Coll_., xxv, 154. At Pittington, Durham, landlords were to answer for their cottagers for a yearly fee of 2d.: _Surtees Soc_., lxxxiv, 29 (1590). Cf. _ibid_., Houghton-Le-Spring Acc'ts, 269. Leverton, Lincoln, Acc'ts, _Archaeologia_, xli, 368 (A penny a poll for the elements. 1612). In the Abbey Parish Church Estate Acc'ts, Shrewsbury, every "gentleman" is to pay 6d. yearly to the wardens for
