PAINTED GLASS WINDOW IN MORLEY CHURCH, DERBYSHIRE. 149 



amid the tonsured group behind is a prior with his staff. The 

 label from the Pope's mouth bears: — fflM Ivms tibi glia. The 

 next two words are uncertain, but Mr. Fox read them as : — 

 ttbi bmt Ijonor. 



The central group is that of the Twelve Apostles headed by St. 

 Peter, bearing the keys, of great size. From him proceed the 

 words : — 1&t hut laws d honor bne. 



The right hand group may represent the Noble Army of 

 Martyrs, for although there are no symbols of martyrdom, the 

 figures all have a saintly halo or nimbus, and consist of kings and 

 queens and men and women of different ages. The legend seems 

 to be : — |it gijcla stmp katta, . 



At any rate, these three groups have no connection with the 

 subjects above them, the whole window being probably composed 

 of the remains of several, of which the connecting links are now 

 past finding out, and can only be conjectured. That which 

 remains is of great interest, and we hope that these ancient frag- 

 ments will always be preserved with scrupulous care, as curious 

 examples both of the faith and of the art of a past period.
