[For the repose of a bishop, by Wilfrid's _Canons of Cealcythe_,
A.D. 816, can. X., seven belts of paternosters were to be said;
the prayers being numbered probably by studs fixed on the girdle.
But St. Dominic invented the rosary, which contains ten lesser
beads representing Ave Marias, to one larger standing for a
paternoster.]
