Thesethrillingnarratives,working upontheenthusiasticfervotrandromanticspiritwhichhadsprungup withtheCrusades,preparedthepopularmindforanintense,innocent enjoyetientoftheScripturalscenes andcharacters,aspresentedonthe stagebythepiousdramatists,with alltherichdiversityofcharacter, costume,andscenerypeculiartothe peoplesandcountriesoftheEast. Atthesametime,theCorpusChristi Festivalgaveanimpulsetoprocessionsandsplendidpageantsforthe purposeofinspiringduehonourand venerationforthecentraldoctrineof theFaith.Hence,atthebeginning ofthefourteenthcentury,cyclesof plays,andCorpusChristiprocessions,weretohefoundineverypart ofEngland.Withoutdoubt,themiracleplayswereamongthefirst worksofanynotewritteninthe Englishlanguage.Theheretical WickliffereferredtothePaternosterin theEnglishtongue,"asmenseycn isyeplayofYork."Thecycles,pageants,andprocessionsflourished, andcontinuedtodiffuseinstruction andholyjoyamongstthepeople, untiltheso-called
