Misteries Sentence Examples

The misteries or companies of merchants traded in one or more kinds of wares.

Laws were passed, for example in 1503, requiring that new ordinances of "fellowships of crafts or misteries" should be approved by the royal justices or by other crown officers; and the authority of the companies to fix the price of wares was thus restricted.

This has been aptly called "the disendowment of the religion of the misteries."
