075 | [Continued] (P. 11.) "In the course of the year 1514, it appears that the pestilence was raging in the town, and carrying off daily great numbers of the inhabitants. In order to avert this afflicting calamity, it was judged prudent to Court the favour and protection of the holy church. As an expiation for the transgressions of the people, -- In the year 1544 the Magistrates and council nominated John Leslie, afterwards bishop of Ross, one of the prebendaries of the church. In the time of papal superstition, it was Customary for persons of any consideration in the town to found Chantries with altars, in the Church, near the burial places of their families, and which they frequently endowed with tenements and perpetual annuities, for the support of Chantry priests. ---- It would appear from the number of these institutions, which (P. 13.) were founded by many eminent persons, and dedicated to particular Saints, and from some of the chaplains being distinguished by their literary acquirements, and the public situations which they afterwards filled, that the church of St Nicholas, previous to the Reformation, was in high estimation. These Chantries we shall enumerate, with their several founders. ----- No 1. Chantry of Saint John, the Evangelist --- Richard Cementarius one of the baillies of Aberdeen, founded this Chantry in February 1277, for the celebration of masses for the souls of himself, his wife, his parents, his benefactors,and all the faithful departed." |
