Note 210 — ENGLAND.
Reading edition
La dame. Garencières takes this for St. Paul’s, once dedicated to Diana, who is the ancient dame. We may take it for the mother Church, if we like; and it would not be using much violence if we read le dome, for that might very well mean, as in the Latin, doma, house or church, as St. Jerome uses it—Domus Dei, in fact.
