heapeth wealth by HATS

<<I saw the movie today. When Saints come into the world...
when reading the history of these Saints, whether of Jesus,
Shakespeare, or Marlowe, I think we should try to keep an open
mind. Quite often, the truth has been altered and corrupted.
.
This movie does point out what happened, when Emperor Constantine and
the Council of Nicea formed the Christian Religion to their own tastes.
.
It's possible that Mary Magdalene could have become a Saint, or even
a successor of Christ. Based on the quotes attributed to Jesus'
appointment of St. Peter as his successor, i.e. giving him the keys
to the Kingdom of Heaven, so that he could bind those on EARTH, so
they could be bound in heaven, I wouldn't want to demote or replace
St. Peter, just based on what I saw in the movie. Jesus could have
had more than one successor, however, that is entirely possible.>>

<<Stephen, taking his ashplant from its leaningplace, followed them
out and, as they went down the ladder, pulled to the slow iron door
and locked it. He put the huge key in his inner pocket. At the foot
of the ladder Buck Mulligan asked: -- Did you bring the key?
-- I have it, Stephen said, preceding them. He walked on.
Behind him he heard Buck Mulligan club with his heavy bathtowel
the leader shoots of ferns or grasses.>>

<<The The statue scene in WT is a strange deviation from Greene's

.
. Why mention Romano?
. Is this some sort of a puzzle for readers to solve?
. If it's a puzzle, here's one possible solution:
.
WT was written about 1610, and the statue scene, a scene of
resurrection, is set in Sicily. Was there a famous Italian artist
painting in Sicily in a very realistic way, as opposed to Mannerist,
who painted a resurrection scene? Why, lo and behold, Michelangelo
Merisi da Caravaggio had painted *The Raising of Lazarus* in
Sicily near the time WT was written. What a coincidence!!

.
<<Most of Caravaggio's religious subjects emphasize sadness,
suffering & death. In 1609 he dealt with the triumph of life
and in doing so created the most visionary picture of his career.
.
Lazarus, the brother of Martha and Mary, was the patron of Giovanni
Battista de' Lazzari, to whom Caravaggio was contracted to paint
an altarpiece in the church of the Padri Crociferi. The Gospel
of St John tells how Lazarus fell sick, died, was buried
and then miraculously raised from the dead by Christ.
.
Once again, the scene is set against blank walls that overwhelm the
actors, who once more are laid out like figures on a frieze. Some of
them, says Susinno, were modelled on members of the community, but at
this stage Caravaggio did not have time to base himself wholly on models
and relied on his memory - the whole design is based on an engraving
after Giulio Romano and his Jesus is a reversed image of the Christ
who called Matthew to join him.
.
There is a remarkable contrast between the flexible bodies of the
grieving sisters and the near-rigid corpse of their brother. In the
gospel Martha reminds Jesus that, as her brother had been dead four
days, he would stink, but here nobody detracts from the dignity of
the moment by holding his nose. Jesus is the resurrection and the
life and in the darkness through him the truth is revealed.>>

[Notes on appearance: The dedication was "center-justified", ie
left-right symmetrical. This will appear approximately correct with
a fixed-width font like Courrier, but the lines will be scrunched
to the left in a proportional font like most readers use. Also,
the hyphens in "well-wishing" and "ever-living" are extremely
short and low-set in the original, almost indistinguishable
from the odd dots between the other words.]
.
This very strange dedication (note: "poet" has to play subject
of "wishes" *and* object of the preposition "by"!) has lead
many people to suspect there is a meaning hidden here. English
physicist I.M. RolleTT discovered the following cipher (and
at the time, he hadn't even heard of the Oxford theory!)--
.
Besides the strained language, there are other oddities. Most striking
are the weird dots between each word-- this suggests someone is counting
the words. Furthermore (more apparent in the original rather than this
crude etext reproduction), the words are arranged in three triangles.
Counting the lines in the triangles, we get a number sequence: 6,2,4.
Using these number, let's now count off[1] the words, marking
the 6th, 2nd, and 4th words, and then repeat the process:

brothers believed in the miraculous powers of Jesus (John vii. 5; Matt.

brother of Jesus, is said by Paul to have seen the risen Jesus in a
vision after Peter, the twelve, and the five hundred had seen him
(I Cor. xv. 7); and when Paul went to Jerusalem to defend his claim
to the assumed apostleship to the heathen, James was the head of
the Church (Gal. i. 19; ii. 9, 12; Acts xii. 17, xv. 13, xxi. 18).

James, surnamed "the Just" on account of his great virtue,

Philip & James, Apostles : Feast day: *Mayday* (now May 3rd)
http://www.saintpatrickdc.org/ss/0503.htm#phil
.
<<Philip was born in Bethsaida, Galilee, & may have been a disciple
of Saint John the Baptist. He is mentioned as one of the Apostles
in the lists of Matthew (10:3), Mark (3:18), Luke (6:14), and
in Acts (1:13). Aside from the lists, he is mentioned only
in John in the New Testament, where he has the gift of
_ *raising the questions everyone else is afraid to ask* .
.
Philip was called by Jesus Himself (John 1:43-48) on the day after
Saint Peter & Andrew and began his evangelizing efforts by bringing
Nathaniel / *Bartholomew* to Jesus. Philip also shows us how to
evangelize: When Nathaniel ask, "Can anything good come from
Nazareth?" He appeals for a personal inquiry: "Come and see."
..........................................................
(GENEVA) John 6:4-7 Now the Passover a feast of the Jews was near. Then
Jesus lifted up his eyes, and seeing that a great multitude came unto
him, he said unto *Philip* , Whence shall we buy bread, that these might
eat? (And this he said to prove him, for he himself knew what he would
do.) Philip answered him, (*) Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not
sufficient for them, that EVERy one of them may take a little.
(*) This sum amounteth to about five pounds sterling.
..........................................................
Philip was the Apostle approached by the Hellenistic Jews from
Bethsaida to introduce them to Jesus (John 12:21ff). Just before
the Passion, Jesus answered Philip's query to show them the Father
(John 14:8ff), but no further mention of Philip is made in the
New Testament beyond his listing among the apostles awaiting
the Holy Spirit in the Upper Room (Acts 1:13).
.
Philip's alleged relics were translated to Rome and placed in
the Basilica of the Twelve Apostles, where an ancient inscription
records that it was originally dedicated to Saints Philip & James.
Later traditions develop the role of Philip's supposed
daughters in the early Church.
..........................................................
James, the son of Alphaeus & Mary, is named in the same lists of
Apostles in Matthew, Mark, and Luke, and in Acts 1:13 is one of
the other apostles in the Upper Room in Jerusalem after Christ's
Ascension. James is mentioned as one of the "brothers" (parthenos)
of the Lord (Matt. 13:55; Mark 6:3) with Joseph, Simon, & Jude and is
called the "brother of the Lord" (most likely meaning a first cousin)
in Galatians 1:19. It was to James that Peter wanted the news of his
miraculous escape transmitted (Acts 12:17), and James seems to have
been regarded as the head of the primitive Church of Jerusalem.
He was the one who suggested that only four Jewish practices
be imposed on Gentile Christians (Acts 15:13-21).
.
Paul reported to him and sought his approval several times.
.
This James seems to be the James of the Epistle of James who opens
the letter by calling himself " *SERVANT* of God and of the Lord
Jesus Christ," which may indicate it was an official Church title.
.
Traditionally, biblical exegetes have considered James, the son of
Alphaeus, as the same James called "the brother of the Lord," the
James who speaks with the voice of authority in the early Church; many
modern scholars, however, hold that there may have been two men named
James, one the son of Alphaeus and one of the Twelve, and the other
"the brother of the Lord" and author of the epistle. Among the reasons
cited is that James speaks of the Apostles in the past tense and does
not identify himself as an Apostle; the apparent distinction between
this James and the Apostle James in 1 Corinthians 15:7; and the
*elegant Greek literary style used* that the author of the epistle,
*which is unlikely to be that of a Galilean peasant*
.
The name *James the LESS* is usually applied to James the son of
Alphaeus, because of the reference in Mark 15:40, where he is called
*James the LESS* or "James the Younger." According to the converted
Jew Heggesippus, a 2nd-century ecclesiastical historian, James was
thrown from the pinnacle of the Temple in Jerusalem by the Pharisees
and then stoned to death about the year 62 AD. The contemporary Jewish
historian Josephus records that the bishop James was stoned to death.
Ancient legendary sources recorded in the Golden Legend say that
*he was killed by the blow of a FULLER's club* after his fall from the
temple. He lived just long enough to forgive his killers. This James
is also known as "the Just." Eusebius contended that the catastrophes
that later struck Jerusalem were a punishment for their treatment
of one "who was the most righteous of men."
.
In art since the 15th century, Saint Philip is portrayed as an apostle
holding a long cross, or a staff with a small cross on it, which
resembles a ceremonial object rather than the instrument of his
crucifixion. It is like the staves used by Saint Michael and Saint
Margaret in overcoming dragon-like demons, and likely refers to
the incident in the Temple of Mars. The cross may be seen in images
of Philip as (1) a weapon against the dragon (paganism); (2) his
instrument of martyrdom; or (3) a sign that he was a missionary
preacher who stressed the victory of the Cross.
.
Philip might also be shown
(1) crucified on a tall cross;
(2) with loaves and fishes;
(3) with a loaf and book;
(4) with a snake or dragon;
(5) with descendit ad inferna on a book or scroll;
(6) baptizing the Ethiopian eunuch;
(7) casting a devil from the idol of Mars; or
(8) with his brother Andrew.
.
Saint James is depicted in art as facially similar to Jesus,
whose cousin he is said to have been. He may be portrayed
(1) with a club or large mallet;
(2) holding his epistle, either as a book or scroll;
(3) with the prophet Haggai and the words credo in Spiritu Sanctu;
(4) as a child with a toy mill; or

Early manuscripts of the Martyrology of Saint Jerome place the feast
of Philip on May 1. The feast of James may have been joined to that
of Philip after the joint dedication of the basilica in Rome to
their honor. The traditional date was moved because May Day
was dedicated to Saint Joseph the Worker in 1955 and
the following day honors Saint Athanasius.>>

<<Mine Honourable Lord; having Translated some 5 or 6 years ago, The
Historie of Don Quixote, out of the Spanish Tongue, into the English,
in the space of forty days: Being therunto more than halfe enforced,
through the importunity of a VERy dear friend, that was desirous to
understand the subject: After I had given hime once a view thereof,
I cast it aside, where it lay long time neglected in a corner,
and so little regarded by me as I never once set hand
to review or correct the same.
Since when, at the entreatie of others of my friends, I was content
to let it come to light, conditionally, that some one or other would
peruse and amend the errors escaped; my many affairs hindering me from
undergoing that labour. Now I understand by the Printer, that the Copy
was presented to your Honour: which did at the first somewhat disgust
me, because as it must pass, I fear much, it will prove far unworthy,
either of your Noble view or protection.
Your Honours most affectionate servitor, Thomas Shelton.
The wording of Shelton's concluding sentence is perhaps significant.
The usual word in this context is *SERVANT* . Shelton has chosen
instead another word which, apart from one letter, is the Spanish
word for *SERVANT* , 'servidor'. It is also unusual for the
*SERVANT* to describe himself as affectionate, unless
he is a member of the same class as the dedicatee.>>

<<Gilbert Shakspere was a HABERDASHER at St. Bride's in 1597 when
he & a local shoemaker put up £19 bail, in the court of Queen's Bench,
for the clockmaker William SAMPSON>> -Honan's _Shakespeare a Life_

HABERDASHER, n. [Prob. fr. Icel. hapurtask trumpery, trifles,
perh. through French. It is possibly akin to E. haversack, and
to Icel. taska trunk, chest, pocket, G. tasche pocket,
and the orig. sense was perh., peddler's wares.]
.
1. A dealer in small wares, as tapes, pins, needles, and thread. [Obs.]
2. A dealer in items of men's clothing: hats, gloves, neckties, etc.
3. A dealer in drapery goods, e.g., laces, silks, trimmings, etc.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
HABERDASHER from hapertas, a cloth the width of which was settled
by Magna Charta. A "hapertas-er" is the seller of hapertas-erie.

<<As has been observed, Shakespeare's eldest daughter, Susanna, was
married on June 5, 1607, to John Hall, a learned man, a distinguished
physician and a noted citizen. Scandal erupted in the Hall household
in 1613. As a consequence, on July 13, Susanna sought a writ of
slander & brought action for defamation (cf. _Measure for Measure_,
II. i.) in the Consistory (an Ecclesiastical) Court at Worcester.
.
Susanna's charge was against John LANE , whose uncle,
Richard Lane, Shakespeare had asked to be one of the witnesses
for the commission out of Chancery on the Lambert controversy
(through which Shakespeare lost his mother's inheritance finally
in 1599) and had been of Shakespeare's party in the suit
to Chancery on the Stratford tithes. John LANE(Jr.)
had accused Shakespeare's daughter by saying Susanna
.
. "...had the running of the reins
. and had been naught (i.e. immoral) with
. Rafe (Ralph) Smith & John Palmer."
.
. "Sassafras (believed to be a specific for syphilis)"
.
Rafe (Ralph) Smith was *a Stratford HABERDASHER & HATTER* ;
his uncle was Hamlet Sadler, the close friend of Shakespeare
(for whom he named his son). The males of the 2nd generation
of close acquaintances were a threat to the reputation
of his daughters; and in the case of Judith, to come, and,
at first, Susanna, the Shakespeares struck back at the male
contemporaries of the son William no longer had. With this court case,
Susanna has become subject to precisely the slanderous accusation
of adultery as in something of a prophetic manner for Shakespeare's
biography was Hermione in The Winter's Tale, anticipated by Desdemona
in Othello. John LANE, "...a ne'er-do-well, was some years later hailed.
into court for riot and libels against the vicar and aldermen, and was
then described as a drunkard." John LANE did not appear in court
to support the rumors he had spread and was excommunicated.>>

. The Ashbourne Portrait: by David Kathman
.
<<In 1940, Charles Wisner Barrell, an Oxfordian, had X-rays made of the
Ashbourne Portrait, which revealed that the painting had been altered at
some point in the past to look more like Shakespeare (in particular, the
hairline had been pushed back to make the subject bald). Barrell claimed
that the original portrait had been of the Earl of Oxford; he claimed
that a coat of arms visible in his X-ray photos was that of the Earl's
second wife, and that the subject's ring depicted a boar, one of the
Earl's symbols. He also found initials which he interpreted as "C.K.,"
which he in turn interpreted as referring to Cornelius Ketel,
who painted one of the two known portraits of Edward de Vere.
Barrell published his findings in Scientific American.
.
However, in 1979 the painting undewent a restoration in preparation for
a Folger exhibition. Some of the paint was removed, and it turned out
that the coat of arms in the painting was not that of Oxford's second
wife at all, but that of Sir Hugh Hamersley, a prominent member of
the HABERDASHER's Company and onetime Lord Mayor of London. Also,
the painting contains the age of the sitter (47 years old) and the date
(1611), which fits Shakespeare; however, the restoration revealed that
the last "1" in the date had been altered from a 2." Hugh Hamersley,
it turns out, was born in 1565 (one year after Shakespeare),
and thus was 47 years old in 1612.>>

It is said that £50,000 was paid annually to import
this little item, but by the end of the reign of Elizabeth I
the HABERDASHERs were making it themselves. Essential to the
well-dressed woman, whose husband made her suitable allowance,
the trade soon gave rise to the expression "pin money".>>
