Constitution of Archbishop Winchelsea, a.d. 1305, to the like effect 15; title: The prescribed vestments fall into four classes : 16; title: Class 1. Vestments for the parochial incumbent, viz., the cope, the chasuble, the maniple, and in the northern province, the stole 16; title: Class 2. Vestments for his assistants, viz., the alb, amice, girdle 16; title: Class 3. Surplices for non-solemn services   17; title: Class 4. Extra vestments for festival use   17; title: In tracing the origin of these vestments three questions must be dealt with:; title: I. The Obdinaby Dbess of the Clergy.; title: 1. The Roman citizen's dress consisted of (1) an under-garment and (2) an upper garment or planet. The under-garment with sleeves was called a tunic, or without sleeves a rochet (colobus). Those who held any position in society wore between the two (3) a dalmatic 10; title: 2. The ordinary dress of the Roman clergy was the same. This is shewn (1) by the account of St. Cyprian's martyrdom ; (2) by the letter of Pope Celestine to the Gallican bishops, and (8) by John the deacon's account of St. Gregory 20; title: 3. After the seventh century the above-named garments ceased to be the ordinary dress of the people, but continued to be worn by the clergy, and as such were introduced (1) into this country and (2) elsewhere 24; title: II. The Original Litubgical Dress of the Clergy.; title: 1. At first the same as that worn by laymen. The baptismal insignia were (1) the white garment, (2) the royal headband, and (3) the lighted taper 27; title: 2. These continued to be used by laymen as late as the ninth century 30; title: 3. The white garment and headband then combined into one as the chrisom, but remained distinct for the clergy as the alb and amice 31; title: III. Badges of Distinction used by Clergy.; title: 1. The girdle worn at Rome originally only by lower clergy ; in the East by all 39; title: 2. The stole or scarf worn at Rome only by the Pope in the form of the pallium before the tenth century, and then the badge of the deacon; in the East worn by bishops, presbyters and deacons, but put on somewhat differently. 41; title: 3. The ceremonial handkerchief or maniple, originally the deacon's badge, then used by sub-deacons and laymen, and finally adopted by presbyters when they had to discharge the sub-deacon's ceremonial duties 47; title: IV. Origin of the Liturgical Vestments.; title: 1. These vestments come from three sources. (1) Some are the ordinary garments of the Roman citizen, viz., the tunic, dalmatic and planet ; (2) others are liturgical garments common to all Christians, viz., the alb and amice ; (3) others badges of rank or office, viz., the stole, girdle and maniple 49; title: 2. After a.d. 847 the planet developed into two forms, (1) the cope, and (2) the chasuble. The use of the chasuble traced in this country 52; title: 3. Ancient view of all the adjuncts of worship, that they are not valuable in themselves, but became valuable when consecrated by prayer. Hence the wisdom of St. Gregory's advice to Augustine, first Archbishop of Canterbury 57
