If  he  has  passed  from  one  Archiepiscopal  See
to  another,  both  Palliums  are  to  be  buried  with
him ;  the  Pallium  of  the  later  See  in  its  proper
place,  and  the  Pallium  ot  his  former  See  either
under  his  head  or  on  his  body.  The  Pallium  is,
as  we  have  seen,  a  personal^  as  well  as  a  territorial,
adornment.
St.  Gregory  the  Great  in  a  Letter  addressed  by


HUMAN    INSTITUTIONS.  57

him  to  St.  Augustine,  the  Apostle  of  Britain,  in
6oi  says:  'Since  the  new  Church  of  the  Enghsh

*  has  been  brought  to  the  grace  of  Almighty  God,

*  through  the  favour  of  the  sa.me  Lord  and  your
'  labours.  We  grant  you  the  use  of  the  Pallium  to
'  be  used  in  it  (the  English  Church)  exclusively  at

*  the  solemn  celebration  of  the  Mass;  in  order
'  that  you  may  ordain  for  as  many  places  twelve
'  Bishops,  who  shall  be  subject  to  your  rule;  but
'  so  that  the  Bishop  of  the  City  of  London  may
'  in  future  be  consecrated  by  his  own  Synod,
'  and  receive  the  Pallium  of  office  from  this
'  Holy  Apostolic  See,  to  which,  by  God's  ordi-
'  nance,  I  minister.'

St.  Gregory  then  goes  on  to  arrange  for  the
consecration  of  an  Archbishop  of  York,  'that  he

*  also  may  ordain  twelve  Bishops  and  enjoy  the

*  dignity  of  a  Metropolitan ;  for,  if  spared,  we  pro-
'  pose,  with  the  Divine  permission,  to  give  him

*  also  the  Pallium,'  determining,  at  the  same  time,
that  the  Primacy  is  to  remain  with  the  Southern
Archbishopric.
