| This is a curious leaden token, ¼ size. It has been found to be a sacrament token, struck for the use of the communicants of St. Mary Major, Exeter. That church was formerly called "Mary Moore," also "Mary the Moor" (see Dr. Oliver's "History of Exeter," p. 121), which Mr. W. Cotton suggests may have been a corruption of St. Marie-la-Mère. At that date Exeter was in the hands of the Puritans, and as the Presbyterians had then the ascendancy, it is probable their form of worship was adopted at St. Mary Major. In the Presbyterian Church it has always been the rule, even down to the present time, that no person shall be permitted to partake of the sacrament who does not bring with him or her a metallic check, previously procured from the church officers, which is given up to the elders when the communicants stay to take the Sacrament; and doubtless this interesting token was one of those so used at the sacred ordinance in 1651. |
