Henry VII. payments are also recorded for various forms of See also:court revels; and it became See also:regular, apparently, to appoint a See also:special functionary, called Master of the Revels, to superintend the royal festivities, quite distinct from the See also:Lord of See also:Misrule (q.v.). In Henry VII.'s See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

In Henry VIII.'s time, however, the See also:post became more important, and an officer of the Wardrobe was permanently employed to See also:act under the Master of the Revels.

Thomas Cawarden received a patent as. Master of the Revels, he being the first to become See also:head of an independent office, Magister Jocorum, Revelorum et Mascorum omnium et singularium nostrorum vulgariter nuncupatorum Revells and Masks. Cawarden was Master till 1559. Soon after his See also:appointment, the office and its stores were transferred to a dissolved Dominican monastery at Blackfriars, having previously been housed at See also:Warwick See also:Inn in the See also:city, the See also:Charterhouse, and then at the priory of St John of See also:Jerusalem in See also:Clerkenwell, to which a return was made after Cawarden's See also:death. Sir Thomas Benger succeeded Cawarden, and See also:Edmund Tylney followed him (1579-1610); it was the appointment of the latter's See also:nephew, Sir See also:George See also:Buck, as See also:deputy-master, with the reversion to the mastership, which led to so much repining on the See also:part of the dramatist, John See also:Lyly, who was himself a See also:candidate. Under Tylney, the functions of Master of the Revels gradually became extended to a general censorship of the stage, which in 1624 was put directly in the hands of the lord
' There are several analogies in Jewish literature. Thus the Testaments of the XII. Patriarchs—a universalist See also:work—and the See also:Book of See also:Jubilees—a particularistic work—are from different authors, though they are written within a few years of each other by See also:Pharisees and use much See also:common material. Similarly with regard to the See also:Apocalypse of See also:Baruch and 4 See also:Ezra.
2 Several converging lines of testimony tend to prove that John the son of Zebedee was, like his See also:brother See also:- JAMES
- JAMES (Gr. 'IlrKw,l3or, the Heb. Ya`akob or Jacob)
- JAMES (JAMES FRANCIS EDWARD STUART) (1688-1766)
- JAMES, 2ND EARL OF DOUGLAS AND MAR(c. 1358–1388)
- JAMES, DAVID (1839-1893)
- JAMES, EPISTLE OF
- JAMES, GEORGE PAYNE RAINSFOP
- JAMES, HENRY (1843— )
- JAMES, JOHN ANGELL (1785-1859)
- JAMES, THOMAS (c. 1573–1629)
- JAMES, WILLIAM (1842–1910)
- JAMES, WILLIAM (d. 1827)
James, put to death by the See also:Jews. First, we have the See also:express testimony of See also:Papias to this effect, which is preserved in George Hamartolus and in an See also:epitome of See also:- PHILIP
- PHILIP (Gr.'FiXtrsro , fond of horses, from dn)^eiv, to love, and limos, horse; Lat. Philip pus, whence e.g. M. H. Ger. Philippes, Dutch Filips, and, with dropping of the final s, It. Filippo, Fr. Philippe, Ger. Philipp, Sp. Felipe)
- PHILIP, JOHN (1775-1851)
- PHILIP, KING (c. 1639-1676)
- PHILIP, LANOGRAVE OF HESSE (1504-1567)
Philip of See also:Side. Attempts have been made to explain away this testimony by See also:Lightfoot, See also:Harnack, See also:Drummond, and See also:Bernard (Irish See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk
- CHURCH, FREDERICK EDWIN (1826-1900)
- CHURCH, GEORGE EARL (1835–1910)
- CHURCH, RICHARD WILLIAM (1815–189o)
- CHURCH, SIR RICHARD (1784–1873)
Church Quarterly, 1908, 52 sqq.). Secondly, Papias's testimony receives support from Jesus's own words in See also:Mark x. 39; for, as See also:Wellhausen remarks on this passage, " the prophecy refers not only to James but also to John; and if it had remained only See also:half fulfilled, it would hardly have kept its place in the See also:Gospel." The third strand of See also:evidence is found in the Martyrologies, Carthaginian, Armenian and Syrian. Bernard (op. cit.) has tried to prove that the Martyrologies do not imply the martyrdom but only the faithful See also:witness of John. Finally, See also:Clement of See also:Alexandria (Bousset, The Offenbarung, p. 38) furnishes evidence in the same direction; for in Clem. Alex. Strom. iv. 9, 71, the Gnostic See also:Heracleon gives a See also:list of the Apostles who had not been martyred, and these were: " See also:Matthew, Philip, Thomas and See also:Levi " (corrupt for Lebbaeus). If we accept this evidence, the martyrdom cannot have been later than A.D. 69, and may have been considerably earlier. In either See also:case such a fact, if it is a fact, is against an Apostolic origin of the Johannine writings. John the See also:Presbyter is in that case " the See also:disciple whom Jesus loved " and the founder of the Johannine school in See also:Asia Minor. But the question is still at issue.
2 The word " revel " meant properly a noisy or riotous tumult or merry-making, and is derived from 0. Fr. reveler, to See also:rebel, to See also:riot, make a See also:noise; See also:Lat. rebellare.chamberlain, thus leading to the licensing act of 1737 (see DRAMA).
