being vnloaden Philip being now about 8. yeares old got vpon the Asse who by misfortune was cast from his back headlong into a Cellar which thing beinge knowne his parents presently ran with sorrowfull harts to take vp their sonne without hope to find him aliue but when they came to the Cellar they found him safe and souÌ„d to their great astonishment About this Age he was set to schoole who not only profited in learning but in vertue also farre aboue his fellowes And seing he was as it were chosen by the holy Ghost to be a preacher of Gods word he did much delight in visiting and frequenting of churches and hearing of sermons greatly reuerencing the Priests and Preachers of the holy Church WheÌ„ he was sixteene yeares of age and somewhat more his Father sent him into Campania to his Vncle Romulus liuing there in the towne of S. Germans at the foote of Mount Cassine who was a very wellthy maÌ„ and had no children and who had sent for Philip his nephew vnto Florence to the end to make him his Heyre But after he had stayed there a few dayes fearing to be entangled with the world he left his vncle and all other friends and came to Rome in the yeare 1533. When he was come to the Citty he went vnto the house of one Galeot who was a Cittizen of FloreÌ„ce with whome he liued diuers yeares in great sanctity leading an austere life contenting himselfe with bread and water once a day and oftentimes he passed three whole dayes without eating any thing at all delighting himselfe only with meditation of heauenly things in the very youth flowre of his age wherein he spent whole dayes and nightes And that he might be the better able to helpe others afterward in spirituall matters he frequeÌ„ted the schooles and heard Philosophy profiting so well therein that he became equall to any of his fellowes still retayning the innoceÌ„cy of his childhood euen in that age of his and amongst so many dissolute students as then he must needs be conuersant withall When he had now ended his Philosophy and also a good part of his Diuinity he began to bid adue vnto the world thought seriously how he might best imploy himselfe in the honour of God and seruice of his neighbours Wherfore he betooke himselfe vnto the Hospitalls where he comforted the ficke serued them with his owne handes assisted them in any thing he could teaching and instructing theÌ„ how to make a good Confession and to die happily if it should please God to call them He had alwayes a speciall care neuer to come acquainted or be familiar with wicked persoÌ„s He exhorted as many as he saw had good partes to enter into Religion and in this point he happily preuailed with a great nuÌ„ber who by his persuasion daily renounced the world and became Riligious In so much that S. Ignatius of Loyola who then liued in Rome and had newly instituted the Socity of Iesus and with whomthis holy man was greatly acquainted and conuersant was wont to call him the Bell for that by his good sound and pious voyce he called so many to holy Religion And thus labouring on all sides to gaine soules to God he became a most liuely example of Piety and Deuotion vnto all euen whiles he was yet a lay man In the yeare of Christ 1551. He tooke vpon him holy Orders was made Priest by commandement of his Ghostly Father In saying of his Masse he was so rapt oftentimes that he was seene to remayne in the ayre 2 foote aboue the ground and was smetimes so takeÌ„ in extasy through the extreme loue and admitation of that Diuine mistery that he knewe not where he was His hart was also so inflamed with the lolue of the Holy Ghost that often times in the very depth of winter and in the greatest cold weather he was forced to apply outwardly some cooling and refrigeratiue thinge vnto his brest It happened on a time that by his reading certaine Epistles of the Indies In which he tooke great delight he was so mooued with compassion towards the Infidels of those vast and remote CouÌ„treyes for that they were not members of Gods Church that he resolued to goe thither in person with twenty others of his disciples to preach and teach the faith of Christ vnto them for their Conuersion But this busines as all other of moment he first commended seriously to God in his daily prayers and meditations crauing his assistance direction and declaration of his holy will therein At leÌ„gth our Lord put into his mind that concerning this great affaire he should goe and consult and take his direction froÌ„ a Monke of S. Bernards Order who then liued in the Monastery of S. Vincentius and Anastasius in Rome a greet seruant of God and much reuerenced for the holines of his life To him S. Philip presently repayred and expounded vnto him his whole intention and desire who presently demaunded some respite to answere him saying that this busines was to be sought from God for answere by earnest prayer and intercession to know his will wherfore ioyning both their prayers together after some houres of recollection the Holy Monke told him that he was not to goe to the Indies for that work was to be done by another but to remayne still in Rome that Rome must be the Indies and the vineyard which God would haue him to manure and cultiuate Adding further that S. Iohn the Euangelist had appeared vnto him and tould him so and that he should gather together many Disciples in Rome whose workes should be very profitable to that Citty With this answere S. Philip was fully satisfied of the will of God concerning that busines and therfore now began to apply himselfe to the helpe of his neighbours by teacing preaching reading of Saints liues hearing Confessions and the like so that in short time he had many followers and worthy Disciples amoÌ„gst which Caesar Baronius afterward Cardinall that famous Historiographer was one with whom he laid the foundatioÌ„ of his order beginning by little little calling the people together into the Church with a bell at certaine houres of the day wherein after halfe an houre of meÌ„tall prayer speÌ„t which euery one made to himselfe yet altogether in one place there were recited publikely te letanies and other prayers commending therin as well the publike as the priuate affaires of the holy Church This order was obserued on Sundayes Tuesdayes Thursdayes and Saturdayes The other three dayes of the weeke to wit Munday Wednesday day and Friday when they met together thy made a discipline whiles the 50. psalme and the Anthymne of Salue Regina or some other Psalme or Hymne was reading hauing exposed before theÌ„ only the Image of Christ crucified placed in such order in a lanterne that all the Confraternity might behould the same at once in the darke Which custome weekely obserued doth yet remayne in the said Congregation

kinsfolkes weeping bewayling the losse of so deare a friend The holy Father exhorted all present to kneele downe with him implore the helpe of the B. Virgin for the sicke man presently they did as he willed and he in the meane space laid his hands vpon his head which done he went his way out of the house the others either not seeing him to depart orels not marking the same being all full of griefe and sorrow But see a wonder he was scarse gone but the sicke man began to opeÌ„ his eyes looke about him and talke as ready and sensibly as euer he did in his health saying he was well and would needes rise out of his hed souÌ„ding forth praises to God and extolling the holines of S. Philip by whose helpe and assistaÌ„ce he had recouered his health he liued after this vntill the yeare of our Lord 1593. coÌ„tinually praysing God and the How Father for the miracle The like happened vnto one Peter Victricius a Cittizen of Parma in the yeare of Christ 1566. who liuing then in Rome fell into a dangerous sicknes which so increased that the Phisirians gaue him ouer for a dead maÌ„ In this meane time came the holy Father vnto him to comfort and assist him for his last passage who holding his hands ouer him and praying earnestly to God for his health he presently felt himselfe better and within a dayor two became perfectly well extolling and praysing the sanctity of S. Philip. The same yeare Iohn Baptista Crescius a yong man of Rome had such an intollerable paine in his eyes by reason of a burning water which ran from them that he could neither endure the light or the ayre or take any rest or repose for many dayes wherby he was in danger of his life the Phisitians determined to make him an issue in his necke but he not willing to haue it desired an vncle of his to lead him to the holy Father Philip which he did desiring him that it would please him to pray to God for his Nephew that he might recouer the health of his eyes The holy man presently touched his eyes with his hands making the signe of the Crosse vpon them and said Thou shalt my Sonne by Gods helpe recouer thy eyes presently he began to open them see persectly could endure the light which before he could not and so within two or three dayes he became perfectly well without applying any thing at all thereunto In the yeare 1569. LaureÌ„tius Christianus a yong man and a Clerke of S. Peters Church fell into a burning feuer which was so vehement that in few dayes he was pronounced for dead by the Phisitians Wherfore hauing made his ConfessioÌ„ receaued deuoutly the holy Eucharist and Sacrament of Extreme Vnction hauing wholy lost his senses he expected the happy houre of his departure The holy Father came to visit him about one a Clocke in the night who hauing asked of the standers by how he did vnderstaÌ„ding that he was past hope of recouery kneeled downe by his bed side and prayed a good while for his health And then rising he said Laurence shall not die of this sicknes and drawing neere vnto him laying his hands vpon his head he called vpon him by his name with a very loud voyce Wherwith the man that was now ready to giue vp the ghost was awaked began to start and opening his eyes after a little pause called for meate eate well and within a few houres arose whole safe from his bed praysing God and extolling the holy Father In the morning the Phisitian was called and feeling his pulse found him perfectly cured saying O Laurence a greater PhisitiaÌ„ theÌ„ my selfe hath cured thee thou hast not bene holpen by humane but by diuine ayde In the yeare of our Lord 1570. there came to Rome from Atella a certaine Gentle woman who was grieuously possessed by the diuell and though she were wholy vnlearned yet did she speake latin and that very elegantly and being also asked any thing in latin she would also answere in the same tongue to the astonishment of all that heard her Moreouer she was so strong that foure lusty men could scarce take her from the ground and lift her vp although she seemed in outward shew to be a very weake and tender woman She was brought vnto S. Philip who began to exorcize her after a strang manner yet in such sort that he made the diuell within a while to forsake her and this was that he beate her very sorely with little iron chaines And though the Diuell cried out a loud saying come beate me strike me kill me and the like yet did the woman not so much as once stir or moue her body all the while but stood still like a statua of stone or wood Which the holy man perceauing left her for that time caused her body to be refreshed with food Vpon this she became so fearfull of S. Philip that when she did but see any one to come towards her she suspected they would carry her to him to be againe exorcized which alwayes they were forced to doe with foure strong meÌ„ S. Philip euery day caused her to be thus beaten together with other exorcismes that he vsed till he forced the Diuell to depart out of her body who the night after he was cast out came to the holy Father in his chaÌ„ber and with threatning eyes burst forth into these words You Sirra you good fellow you haue vsed your pleasure vpon me to day but I will not forget the iniury and so vanished away and the Gentle woman remayned alwayes free afterward to her dying day Whiles the fame of this holy man was spread ouer the Citty for his many miracles and other notable things by him done he had many secret and malignant aduersaries who enuying his workes of piety began to spread abroad some falsities of the man and his life Some accused him that he drew many noble yong youthes from the world and shut them vp in Cloisters Others accused him of simplicity and rudenes Others that in his sermons exhortations he either spake many ridiculous thinges or els did fayle in explicatinge the Doctrine of the Church aright These thinges at last came vnto the eares of Pius Quintus the Pope who being a wise Pastour of his flocke did not so easily belieue euery thing that was said But sending for two Dominican Friars that were very learned commaunded them to goe euery day vnto the Church to heare the Sermons and Exercises which S. Philip made and to relate vnto him truly how the matter went They did accordingly and being one of them present euery day for a long time they neuer found the least fault nor cause of complaint but contrary wise found him to speak with such force efficacy and feruour of spirit that he moued all the Anditory of what matter soeuer he spake Nay which is more when either he handled any
