“fili sordidæ meretricis, tu latro, tu traditor, tu diabole,

_Translation._
As it would have been wrong that Winchester should be deprived
of her due reward for having preserved peace with the Jews, as
has been stated at the beginning of this book[2], the Winchester
Jews, studious (after a Jewish fashion) of their city’s honour,
although clear evidence of the deed was perhaps wanting, yet from
several indications of its commission, gained for themselves a
notorious celebrity by the martyrdom of a lad in Winchester.
The circumstance was as follows: A certain Jew had engaged a
Christian boy, who was a little acquainted with shoemaking,
in the domestic service of his family. He did not remain
permanently at work in the house, nor was he allowed to perform
any great matter at once, lest cohabitation with the family
should show him the destruction prepared for him; as also, that,
being better remunerated for a little labour there than for much
elsewhere, he should, enticed by his presents and deceit, the
more willingly resort to the demon’s house. Now the boy was a
native of France, a minor and an orphan; he was, too, of low
condition and extreme poverty. A French Jew, hypocritically
pitying this his state of wretchedness while in France, persuaded
him by repeated exhortations to seek England, a land flowing
with milk and honey: he extolled the English as liberal and
munificent; adding, that no one who would struggle for an honest
living in that country could die poor. The lad, rather ready,
as is natural with the French, to conform his will to that of
others, taking with him a companion of his own age and country,
girt up his loins for a foreign journey; carrying nothing in his
hand except a staff, nor anything in his scrip besides an awl.
He took leave of his friend the Jew, who thus addressed him. “Go
thy way,” says he, “manfully. May the God of my fathers be thy
leader, according to my desire.” And having laid his hands upon
his head, as if he had been the scape-goat, being now certain of
his prey, he added, after certain guttural croakings and silent
imprecations, “Be of a stout heart: forget thy people and thy
country, for every land is as his country to the brave, even
as is the sea to fish, as to the bird whatever lies before it
on the open globe. On landing in England, shouldst thou go to
London, thou wilt pass through it quickly, for much doth that
city displease me. Every kind of men from every nation under
heaven flows into that place; into that town hath every people
carried its vices and its habits. No one lives there untainted
with crime; there is not a street within that place which abounds
not with sad obscenity; a man is there accounted better in
proportion as he has been a greater adept in iniquity. I am not
ignorant of whom I instruct: thou hast a glow of genius beyond
thy years, a coolness of reflection, and, as the result of these
opposite qualities, a temperateness of the reasoning faculty. I
have no fear for thee unless thou dwell with evil-livers, for
from our associations are our morals formed. Amen! amen! thou
wilt go to London. Lo! I tell thee beforehand, whatever there
is of evil or of wickedness in particular parts of the world,
whatever in all its parts together, in that one city wilt thou
find. Go not among the multitude of the corrupters of youth;
mix not with the crowds issuing from the stews; flee dice and
chess, the playhouse and the pothouse. Thou wilt meet there more
bullies than are in the whole of France, and yet the number of
mean flatterers is infinite. Stage-players, buffoons, bald-pated
reprobates, men living like wild Indians, parasites, infamous
boys, effeminate and scandalous men, lewd music girls, quacks,
wantons, fortune-tellers, harpies, night-walkers, conjurers,
mimics, beggars, shabby scoundrels,--this is the sort of people
with which each house is filled. If, then, thou wouldst not be
a dweller with men of shame, thou wilt not abide in London. My
observations are not directed against men of letters or the
religious, nor against Jews; though, from their very cohabitation
with the wicked, I should believe them to be farther from
perfection there than anywhere else.
“Nor does my advice go the length of dissuading thee from
betaking thyself to a city, since in my opinion thou shouldst
tarry nowhere but in some large town; it is of consequence,
however, in which. If then thou shouldst land near Canterbury,
thou wilt be on the road to destruction; if even thou pass
through it. All that collection of lost men is so devoted to
the service of some lately deified person of their place (I
know not whom)[3], who was archbishop of Canterbury, that they
are dying everywhere in the sun, for want of bread and through
indolence, in the very streets. Rochester and Chichester are mere
villages and offer nothing for which they should be called cities
except their being bishops’ sees. Oxford scarcely, I do not say
satiates, but keeps her clerks alive. Exeter feeds men and beasts
with the same meal. In the depths of valleys, in an exceedingly
dense atmosphere and amid sulphurous vapours, Bath is posited,
yea deposited, at the gates of hell. But neither wilt thou select
for thyself an abode in the northern cities, in Worcester,
Chester, or in Hereford, on account of the Welsh, men prodigal of
human life. York abounds with Scots, who are filthy and deceitful
men, or something less than men. From its surrounding marshes,
the Isle of Ely is one eternal stench. In Durham, Norwich, or in
Lincoln thou wilt hear very few of the higher orders speaking
Latin; of thine own condition, not a soul. At Bristol there is
not a man who is not, or has not been, a soap-boiler: now a
Frenchman loves soap-boilers as well as he does nightmen.[4] Out
of the large towns, every market-town, vill, or petty town has
rude and clownish inhabitants. Thou mayst, moreover, at all times
consider the Cornishmen to be such as thou knowest our Flemings
to be esteemed in France. In fine, the country generally is in
the highest degree blessed with the dews of heaven and with
richness of soil: there are, too, some good men in every place
within it, but fewer by far in all together than in Winchester
alone.
“That city is the Jerusalem of the Jews in those parts: within
her precincts alone do they enjoy perpetual peace; she is the
school of those who wish to live well and to thrive. There men
are produced; there thou mayst have a sufficiency of bread and
wine for nothing. In that place there are monks of such mercy and
meekness, a clergy so wise and tolerant, citizens of such probity
and so regardful of their fellows’ rights, women so beautiful
and modest, that little withholds me from going thither, and,
among such Christians, myself becoming a Christian. To that
city do I direct thee, the city of cities, the mother of all
and better than all. There is one vice, and only one, in which
she is accustomed to over-indulge. Asking pardon of the men of
letters and the Jews, I must say (that thou mayst be upon thy
guard) that the Winchester people are addicted to lying, yet only
in inventing idle tales; for in no place under heaven, as there,
are so many false reports fabricated with so much facility;
in all other matters they are perfectly veracious. I had yet
much to tell thee of my own affairs; but lest thou shouldst not
comprehend all, or shouldst forget, thou wilt place this small
letter in the hands of a Jewish friend, as I feel confident that
thou wilt one day be rewarded by him.” This was a brief note
written in Hebrew. The Jew had finished his oration; and the
lad, putting the best construction upon everything, arrived at
Winchester.
His awl provided food enough for his companion and himself; and
the cruel kindness and stuttering civility so evilly obtained
him by the Jew’s letter procured him comforts. Wherever these
poor creatures might work separately in the day, or take their
meals, they each night rested on a little bed in the ancient
cottage of an aged woman. Day succeeds day, month month, and
the last hours of this our youth, whom we have thus far so
curiously traced, hasten, by their very escape, their arrival.
The day of the Adoration of the Cross[5] had arrived; and the
boy, working upon that day at his master the Jew’s, in whatever
manner he was made away with, disappeared. Now the next day was
the Passover, the great festival of the Jews. His companion,
wondering at his absence, as he did not return in the evening to
his bed, is terrified that night by many hideous dreams. Having
for several days sought him in every corner of the city without
finding him, he at once asked the Jew if he had sent the lad,
who was his means of support, anywhere; whom when he perceived
to become, contrary to his wont, from the particularly mild man
of yesterday, outrageously bitter,--noticing this change in his
language and his countenance, he immediately took fire, and as
he had a piercing voice, and was gifted with a wonderful flow
of words, he instantly broke out into reproaches, with loud
outcries charging him, with making away with his friend. “Thou
offspring of a filthy harlot!” he exclaims, “thou thief! thou
traitor! thou devil! thou hast crucified my companion! Woe is
me! why have I not yet the strength of a man! I could tear thee
in pieces with my hands.” The cries of the boy vociferating
within the house are heard in the public street; from all sides
Jews and Christians hastily assemble. The boy presses; and,
now become more confident from the presence of the crowd, he
began, having gained their attention, to plead the cause of
his companion. “O men,” he says, “who have here assembled, see
if there be grief like my grief. This Jew is a devil; he hath
torn my heart from within my breast; he hath murdered my only
companion, I even think he hath devoured him. A son of the
Evil One, a certain Jew,--whether he be French-born I neither
understand nor know,--but that Jew gave to my friend a letter,
which was the warrant for his death, directed to this man. Thus
induced,--yea, seduced,--he came to this city. He was often
engaged in the service of this Jew, and in his house was he last
seen.” The boy was not without a witness to some portion of his
tale; inasmuch as there was a Christian woman, who, contrary to
the Canons, had nursed the Jewish children in the same house.
She swore positively that she had seen the lad go down into the
Jew’s store-room, but never return. The Jew denies it; the matter
is referred to the Judges. The accusers fail; the boy because he
was under age, the woman because her ministry to the Jews had
rendered her infamous. The Jew offered a purgation[6] of his
conscience with respect to the infamy. Gold was acceptable to the
judges: Phinees gave it and appeased them, and the stir ceased.
[1] Some of these worthless characters are mentioned in the lines of
Horace:
“Ambubaiarum collegia, pharmacopolæ,
Mendici, mimi, balatrones.”--_Sat._ lib. i. 2.
Others are to be found in Juvenal.
[2] The atrocious massacre above referred to, is related in the
following impious and inhuman terms:--“On that same day of the
coronation, about the solemn hour in which the Son was immolated to
the Father, they began in the city of London to sacrifice the Jews to
their father the devil; and so long was the duration of this famous
mystery, that the holocaust could scarcely be completed on the second
day. Other cities and towns in the country emulated the faith of the
Londoners, and with equal devotion dispatched their bloodsuckers in
their blood to the infernal regions. Somewhat, but not to such an
extent, was at that time enacted against those children of perdition
everywhere throughout the kingdom: Winchester alone spared her
vermin,--a people prudent and forecasting, and a city at all times
respecting her citizens’ rights.”--“Eodem coronationis die, circa
illam sollemnitatis horam qua Filius immolabatur Patri, incœptum est
in civitate Londoniæ immolare Judæos patri suo diabolo; tantaque fuit
hujus celebris mora mysterii, ut vix altera die compleri potuerit
holocaustum. Æmulatæ sunt aliæ civitates regionis et urbes fidem
Londoniensium, et pari devotione suos sanguisugas cum sanguine
transmiserunt ad inferos. Aliquid, sed inæqualiter, ea tempestate
contra perditos paratum est ubique per regnum: sola tantum suis
vermibus pepercit Wintonia, populus prudens et providus, ac civitas
semper civiliter agens.”
[3] Thomas à Becket, who had been murdered a few years antecedently.
[4] Soap was first made in London in 1524; prior to which time it had
been supplied by Bristol.
[5] Good Friday.
[6] It was the custom, where sufficient testimony could not be had,
to allow the accused to clear himself from the charge by his oath:
this was sailed _purgation_. The oath having been made, twelve
persons, called _compurgators_, were produced on the prisoner’s
behalf, who swore, that, from what they knew of his general
character, they believed his oath. This was deemed satisfactory.
