Evan? Cathedral in its first institution, writes Bishop Stilling fleet, was as the temple to the whole diocese, where the worship was to be performed in the most decent and constant manner; for which end it was necessary to have such a number of ecclesiastical persons there attending, as might still be ready to do all the omoce which did belong to the Christian Church, such as constant prayers, and hymns, and preaching, and celebration of Sacraments, which were to be kept up in such a church, as the daily sacrifice was in the Temple. The cathedral was designed for the celebra tion of the most solemn service which devotion could devise in a fabric as worthy of its holy purpose as the highest art of man could frame; a daily service cum cantu et jubilations, with chanting and great joy, as the statutes of Ely say.
