1. 1To bury one before he is dead. An history.

Hillarius. How could she do that?

Hillarius. How could she doe that?

Thomas. She hath done during her life all her good deeds, as she would have that one should do for her after her death, carrying candles, and sprinkling holy water upon the grave in which she would be buried, and causing the Priests to sing, as they should have done if she had been dead. But the same happened well for them. For afterwards she was converted to your law, and the most part of all her parents and kinsfolk. Wherefore the Priests should have lost all that.
