1847The Natural History of WiltshireThe consistorie of this church (Salisbury) was as eminent for learning as any in England, and the choire had the best method; hence came the saying 'secundum usum Sarum'. Over every stall there was writt 'hoc age'. These old stalles were taken down about 1671, and now they sitt in the quire undistinguisht, without stalles.1873A Simpleton So to church they went; and Staines, whose motto was 'Hoc age,' minded his book. Rosa had intervals of attention to the words, but found plenty of time to study the costumes. 1877The Essays of MontaigneThe Romans, in their religious exercises, began with 'Hoc age' as we in ours do with 'Sursum corda'; these are so many words lost to me: I come already fully prepared from my chamber.Labels: Charles Reade, John Aubrey, Michel de Montaigne
