In the speech of king Edgar, a. D. 969, he says, talking of the secular clergy, " I omit that they have no open crown or convenient tonsure ; but lasciviousness in their garments, insolence in their gait, filthiness in their conversation, betray the folly of their hearts. Besides, what negligence is there in (the celebration of) divine offices, as they scarcely deign to be present at the sacred vigils ! and when they are celebrating the holy solemnities of the mass, they appear to have assemble...d together rather to play and to laugh than to sing psalms. Shall I say that the good lament, and the evil-minded ridicule, (their conduct) ? Shall I say with grief, (if indeed it can be told, ) how they abound in feasts, in drinking-bouts, and in every sort of uncleanness, even to overflow ? so that already the houses of the clergy are considered as resorts of harlots, and the conventicles of buffoons. There they have dice, there they have dancing and singing till the middle of the night, with noisy mirth and abominable watchings.
