office has an interesting See also:place in that of the See also:English See also:stage (see also See also:DRAMA, and See also:THEATRE)

Among the expenses of the royal See also:Wardrobe we find See also:provision made for tunicae and viseres in 1347 for the See also:Christmas Judi of See also:Edward III.; during the reign of See also:- HENRY

Henry VII. payments are also recorded for various forms of See also:court revels; and it became See also:regular, apparently, to appoint a See also:special functionary, called See also:Master of the Revels, to superintend the royal festivities, quite distinct from the See also:Lord of See also:Misrule (q.v.)

In Henry VII.'s See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)
- TIME, MEASUREMENT OF
- TIME, STANDARD
time he seems to have been a See also:minor See also:official of the See also:household
.
In Henry VIII.'s time, however, the See also:post became more important, and an officer of the Wardrobe was permanently employed to See also:act under the Master of the Revels
.
With the patent given to See also:John Farlyon in 1534 as See also:Yeoman of the Revels, what may be considered as an See also:independent office of the Revels (within the See also:general See also:sphere of the lord See also:- CHAMBERLAIN (0. Fr. chamberlain, chamberlenc, Mod. Fr. chambellan, from O. H. Ger. Chamarling, Chamarlinc, whence also the Med.

Thomas Cawarden received a patent as
.
Master of the Revels, he being the first to become See also:head of an independent office, Magister Jocorum, Revelorum et Mascorum omnium et singularium nostrorum vulgariter nuncupatorum Revells and Masks
.
Cawarden was Master till 1559
.
Soon after his See also:appointment, the office and its stores were transferred to a dissolved Dominican monastery at Blackfriars, having previously been housed at See also:Warwick See also:Inn in the See also:city, the See also:Charterhouse, and then at the priory of St John of See also:Jerusalem in See also:Clerkenwell, to which a return was made after Cawarden's See also:death
.
Sir Thomas Benger succeeded Cawarden, and See also:Edmund Tylney followed him (1579-1610); it was the appointment of the latter's See also:nephew, Sir See also:George See also:Buck, as See also:deputy-master, with the reversion to the mastership, which led to so much repining on the See also:part of the dramatist, John See also:Lyly, who was himself a See also:candidate
.
Under Tylney, the functions of Master of the Revels gradually became extended to a general censorship of the stage, which in 1624 was put directly in the hands of the lord
' There are several analogies in Jewish literature
.
Thus the Testaments of the XII
.
Patriarchs—a universalist See also:work—and the See also:Book of See also:Jubilees—a particularistic work—are from different authors, though they are written within a few years of each other by See also:Pharisees and use much See also:common material
.
Similarly with regard to the See also:Apocalypse of See also:Baruch and 4 See also:Ezra
.
2 Several converging lines of testimony tend to prove that John the son of Zebedee was, like his See also:brother See also:- JAMES
- JAMES (Gr. 'IlrKw,l3or, the Heb. Ya`akob or Jacob)
- JAMES (JAMES FRANCIS EDWARD STUART) (1688-1766)
- JAMES, 2ND EARL OF DOUGLAS AND MAR(c. 1358–1388)
- JAMES, DAVID (1839-1893)
- JAMES, EPISTLE OF
- JAMES, GEORGE PAYNE RAINSFOP
- JAMES, HENRY (1843— )
- JAMES, JOHN ANGELL (1785-1859)
- JAMES, THOMAS (c. 1573–1629)
- JAMES, WILLIAM (1842–1910)
- JAMES, WILLIAM (d. 1827)
James, put to death by the See also:Jews
.
First, we have the See also:express testimony of See also:Papias to this effect, which is preserved in George Hamartolus and in an See also:epitome of See also:- PHILIP
- PHILIP (Gr.'FiXtrsro , fond of horses, from dn)^eiv, to love, and limos, horse; Lat. Philip pus, whence e.g. M. H. Ger. Philippes, Dutch Filips, and, with dropping of the final s, It. Filippo, Fr. Philippe, Ger. Philipp, Sp. Felipe)
- PHILIP, JOHN (1775-1851)
- PHILIP, KING (c. 1639-1676)
- PHILIP, LANOGRAVE OF HESSE (1504-1567)
Philip of See also:Side
.
Attempts have been made to explain away this testimony by See also:Lightfoot, See also:Harnack, See also:Drummond, and See also:Bernard (Irish See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk
- CHURCH, FREDERICK EDWIN (1826-1900)
- CHURCH, GEORGE EARL (1835–1910)
- CHURCH, RICHARD WILLIAM (1815–189o)
- CHURCH, SIR RICHARD (1784–1873)

.
Secondly, Papias's testimony receives support from Jesus's own words in See also:Mark x
.
39; for, as See also:Wellhausen remarks on this passage, " the prophecy refers not only to James but also to John; and if it had remained only See also:half fulfilled, it would hardly have kept its place in the See also:Gospel." The third strand of See also:evidence is found in the Martyrologies, Carthaginian, Armenian and Syrian
.
Bernard (op. cit.) has tried to prove that the Martyrologies do not imply the martyrdom but only the faithful See also:witness of John
.
Finally, See also:Clement of See also:Alexandria (Bousset, The Offenbarung, p
.
38) furnishes evidence in the same direction; for in Clem
.
Alex
.
Strom. iv
.
9, 71, the Gnostic See also:Heracleon gives a See also:list of the Apostles who had not been martyred, and these were: " See also:Matthew, Philip, Thomas and See also:Levi " (corrupt for Lebbaeus)
.
If we accept this evidence, the martyrdom cannot have been later than A.D
.
69, and may have been considerably earlier
.
In either See also:case such a fact, if it is a fact, is against an Apostolic origin of the Johannine writings
.
John the See also:Presbyter is in that case " the See also:disciple whom Jesus loved " and the founder of the Johannine school in See also:Asia Minor
.
But the question is still at issue
.
2 The word " revel " meant properly a noisy or riotous tumult or merry-making, and is derived from 0
.
Fr. reveler, to See also:rebel, to See also:riot, make a See also:noise; See also:Lat. rebellare.chamberlain, thus leading to the licensing act of 1737 (see DRAMA)
