Note 1254 — XXVI. THE ANGLICAN CHURCH.
Reading edition
Strype’s Parker, Book II. chap. vi. In 1561 the remains were exhumed from the stables of Dr. Marshall, the previous dean of Christ’s Church, and reburied in the church, the precaution being taken of mingling them with the bones of St. Frideswide, so as to prevent any future profanation in case of another revolution of religion. The affair excited considerable attention at the time, and produced the following epigram:
Femineum sexum Romani semper amarunt: Projiciunt corpus cur muliebre foras? Hoc si tu quæras, facilis responsio danda est: Corpora non curant mortua, viva petunt.
