Tis occafion'd by Iharp Humours, which prick and vel- the Term Cardinal was given not only to Priefts but alio hcate that Orifice, and the adjoining Parts. The Word to Bifhops and Deacons, who were attach'd to

comes from the Greek Mf>JV«, Heart, and **-y, Vain,

SUtncbard makes the Difeafe confift in a Gnawing, and Contraftion of the 'Par vagum, and the intercoftal Nerves implanted in the Stomach ; proceeding from a pungent vel- licating Matter in the Stomach it fclf : which, Tjy reafon of the Confent of Parts, affefls the Heart ; ftraitning and contracting it

Churches ; to diftinguiih 'em from thofe who only i'crv'd 'em en pajfant, and by Commiffion. Titulary Churches, or Benefices, were a kind of Parilhes, i. e. of Churches al- fign'd each to a Cardinal Prieft ; with fome Hated Dillrift depending on it, and a Font for adminiftring of Baptifm, in Cafes where the Bidiop himfelf could not adminilter it as iomctimes to occafion fwoomng.

CARDINAL, a Term ferving to exprefs the Relation, 868, fubferib'd after them. It was not, however, only at

or Quality of Prime Principal, moll Confiderable ; or, the Rome, that Priefls bore this Name ; for we find there were

Foundation of any thing. Thus, we fay, the four Cardinal Cardinal Priefls in France : Thus, the Curate of th» Pa-

The Cardinals are divided into three Gaffes, or Orders 5

Some fay, the Election of the Pope relied in the Cardinals, exclufive of the Clergy, in rhe Time of Alexander III. in jitTo. Others go higher ftill, and fay, that Nicholas II. having been elected at Sienna, in 1058, by the Cardinals alone, occafion'd the Right of Elcaion to be taken from the Clergy, and People of Rome $ only leaving 'em that of confirming him by their Confent ; .!%.?!£ " hlc, 11 wa * " ' en g th ' however, taken from them.

Cardinals, in their firft Inftitution, were only the prin- cipal Priefts, or Incumbents of the Parifhes of Rome. In the primitive Church, the chief Prieft of a Parifh, who immediately follow'd the Biftiop, was call'd Presbyter Cardinalis ; to dittinguim him from the other petty Priefts, brech cornea^e* who had no Church, nor Preferment : Th~ n ' 1 " -- rn

When tne Cardinal Priefts became Bifhops, their Cardi- ««toe became vacant ; they being then fuppos'd to be rais'd to a higher Dignity. Under Pope Gregory, Cardinal Priefis, and Cardinal Deacons, were only fuch Priefts or Deacons, as had a Church or Chapel under their Cure : And this was the original ufe of the Word. Leo IV. in
