fore that method is fuppofed to have been 

 difcovered. It is dated in his 23d year, 1239,

There is another mandate of his 25th 

 year, for two windows with picfturcs in the 

 hall, and with the motto above mentioned, of 

 which I do not know that any of our anti- 

 quaries have taken notice. 



The two following precepts are fo con- 

 nected with the foregoing, that though re- 

 lating only to building not to painting, I 

 Ihall infert them here, as their mofl proper 

 place. 



" A°. 28. Hen. III. Mandatum eft vice- 

 " comiti Kanciae quod fub omni qua po- 

 ** terit feftinatione emi faciat et cariari ufque
