custodes

Whilst other nations have vaguely asked Quis custodiet custodes?

In those days they were called 'custodes,' chiefly I am afraid because they kept the rods.

For mention of custodes in other dioceses, see Cookhill , Reg.

Therefore you are custodes utriusque tabul, and must bend the force of all your government to the saving of the people's souls.

With these cases compare the appointment of custodes to the worldly Prioress of Easebourne in 1441.
