Monday, 13--l took a little ride to Croydon, one of the seats of the Archbishops of
Canterbury. Was it one of these who ordered, many years ago (for the characters are of old
standing), that dreadful inscription to be placed just over the communion table? "And now,
O ye priests, this commandment is for you. If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to
heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the Lord of hosts, I will even send a curse upon
you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay
it to heart. Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung
of your solemn feasts, and one shall take you away with it" [Mal. 2-1-3].
