ORIGIN OF EPITHET "FACTOTUM."

Sir,--The following expression in Cavendish's _Life of Wolsey_, p.

42.--"He was {44} Dominus fac totum with the king"--seems to point

us to some ecclesiastical origin for the derivation of our familiar

word "factotum." Does any one know the precise whereabouts of such a

phrase in the Ancient Service books?
