Pope Victor the First made a Decree to avoid concurring with the Jews and others who were called Quarto-decumans because they celebrated it the 14th of the Moon on whatever day of the Week it happened The Decree of this Prelate was confirmed in the first General Council of Nice Anno 1679 the Elector of Saxony caused a form to be presented to the Diet of Ratisbone for agreeing on a Kalendar to be received throughout the Empire of Germany Gregory the Thirteenth ordained that the Cardinals of Religious Orders who wore a black Cap or of the colour of their Order should wear it red like the others It was Innocent the Twelfth who gave the Cardinals in the Council of Lions the red Cap as an Hieroglifick that they ought to pour forth their bloud for the support of the Church as it results from the words which the Pope uses in putting it on their heads in these terms Ad laudem Omnipotentis Dei Sanctae Sedis Apostolicae ornamentum accipe Galerum rubrum Insigne singulare dignitatis Cardinalatûs per quod designatur quod usque ad mortem sanguinis effusionem inclusivè pro exaltatione Sanctae Fidei pace quiete populi Christiani augmento statu sacrosanctae Romanae Ecclesiae te intrepidum exhibere debeas In nomine Patris Filii Spiritus Sancti His Holiness sends the red Cap with a Brief to those that are not present at Rome in the Consistory As to the Hat it is given kneeling from the hand of the Pope unless a person be employed in some important Embassie to the holy See in this case the Pope sends it to the Cardinal newly created to authorize him the more and render him more venerable His Holiness's Courrier that carries the Hat from Rome carries with it the form of the Oath of Fidelity and delivers all into the hands of the Prelate appointed to perform that Ceremony which is splendid You must observe that Cardinals that have not received the Hat cannot be Legates of the holy See till they have first taken it as the above-mentioned Claudius Vaurus informs us In the Ceremony of opening the Mouth that is to say in the permission the Pope gives to new Cardinals to opine and to give their Votes and Suffrages he says to them Aperimus vobis os tam in collationibus quam in Consiliis atque in electione summi Pontificis in omnibus actibus tam in Consistorio quàm extra qui ad Cardinales spectant quos soliti sunt exercere In nomine Patris Filii Spiritus Sancti Amen You must observe it was in use above an Age that if a Pope died whilst a new Cardinal had his mouth shut he might enter if he please into the Conclave but he could not be elected Pope nor give his Suffrage for any person unless the sacred Colledge the See being vacant by a special Act of Grace gave him an Active and Passive Voice as it did to Cardinal Conty Pope Pius the Fifth has declared since by a Decree of the 26th of January 1571 That this closing of the mouth does not deprive the new Cardinal of his power and principal Function which consists in the Election of the Pope Gregory the Fifteenth brought in use the Election of Popes by secret Suffrages that the Cardinals might be more free in giving their Votes Formerly 't was said Non fit bis in die Scrutinium Now it is performed in the morning after Mass and in the Evening after the Hymn of the Holy Ghost Vrban the Eighth gave Cardinals the Title Eminentissiums he caused the body and writings of Marc. Anthony de Dominis to be burnt after his death for an example Dominis was Archbishop of Spalathra anciently Salona in Dalmatia Alexander the Seventh received Christan Queen of Sweden into the Communion of the Catholick Apostolick and Roman Church Observations on the reducement of Jubiles under what Popes and in what times BOniface the Eighth Anno 1300. ordained that the celebration of the Jubile should be performed every hundred years both to pay to God solemn acts of Thanksgivings at the end of ●●ch Age and that Christian Rome should not have less acknowledgment for the true God than Profane Rome shewed heretofore to its Idols by the centenary sports or games which it solemnized with an extraordinary concourse of people Clement the Sixth established it for the time to come from fifty to fifty years answering to that of the Hebrews and in consideration of the number of fifty consecrated by the visible descent of the Holy Ghost and also by reason of the shortness of mans life because few persons enjoyed the benefit of this great Treasure Vrban the Sixth as Gretserus tells us reduced it to thirty three years in memory of the thirty three years that the Son of God passed on the Earth Paulus the Eleventh desiring that every man should partake of so great a favour abbreviated the time and established it from twenty five to twenty five years Thomas Friard in his Book of the Jubile taxes this of falshood alleadging that Paul was dead three or four years before this reducement and that it was Sixtus the Fourth his Successor before General of the Cordeliers who sixt it at this number of years If this Writer had dived to the bottom of this matter and had read the Popes Bullary thereon he had found that Paul ordained it as it appears by his Bull.
