:898p. 164

Guilielmus Durandus writeth, that when the people go a Procession,¹ the Belles are rung to this end, even to make the devils afraid, and to chase them away. For sayeth he, the devils are wonderfully afraid, when they hear the trumpets of the church militant, I mean the Belles: even as a Tyrant is greatly afraid, when he heareth in his own land the trumpets of some mighty King that is his enemy.² And this is also the cause, why the church, when there is any great tempest, ringeth the Belles, that the devils hearing the trumpets of the everlasting King, should be afraid, and trudge away, and cause no more tempests to arise, &c. Rat. di. off.
