Rome Several very noted persons have flourisht there by reason of the great Revenues of the Bishoprick which has amounted as is seen in the Archives to more than six thousand Crowns Possibly the Bishops had then the force of the Laws and secular Arm more than the Authority of their See and zeal of their preaching to assist them Two Bishops of this Church successively went to the Council of Trent where they were much distinguisht by their merit The first was John Francis Comendon who died during the time of the Council who was succeeded by Petro Delfino a Noble Venetian The Parish Churches of the Greeks comprehending those of the City the Cittadel and others that have been founded out of devotion are about forty four There are likewise a great number in Cephalonia that place being well Peopled There are fifteen in the City in each of which is a plain Altar with the Altar-piece towards the East adorned with paintings after the Greek fashion who permit no Images in Relievo in their Temples The Altar is of stone inclosed with a Rail whose entrance is forbidden to Laicks and Women Nay the Women presently after Child-bed and the Men that are found in any ill action are forbid the Churches but this custom is now neglected When the Arch-bishop happens to die all the Greek Curates of which there is a good number assemble themselves and according to a very ancient custom authorized by the Holy See they give their suffrages in secret to proceed to the election of another The Bishop has no fixt Revenue and maintains himself upon Casualties which the Greeks yearly present to him as in a Quantity of Wheat and other Grain He likewise has a considerable gain by Ordinations and by one way or other his Revenue is very large As a Qualification of a Bishop of this City a man must have been a Monk of the Order of St. Basil upon which account there are so many Monasteries of that Saint's in these Isles The most considerable of which is built on the Rocks commonly called the Strophades of which in their place This Monastery has several Revenues in Zant and Cephalonia and the Greeks have these Monks in Great Veneration because they live very retired from secular affairs These Monks of St. Basil fast the whole year except in case of infirmity or sickness when they may have a dispensation for three days in the week Monday Wednesday and Friday they eat nothing but milk fish and oyl They keep four Lents in the year the first is that of Easter called i Megali Tessara-costi which lasts seven weeks for which time they are not permitted to eat either fish or oyl except two days in the week viz. Saturday and Sunday nor that on Holy Saturday Their nourishment then is only fish that have no blood as oysters dryed fish Caveer which is the Rows of fish salted Botargo which is made of the Row of a Sturgeon dryed and salted c. There are two other days on which they may eat that is the 25 of March being Annunciation-day which they call Euangelismos provided it happen before the Holy week the other is Palm-Sunday which they name Tou Vaghiou The Second Lent is of the Agioi Apostoloi in honour of the Holy Apostles which lasts from the Munday sevennight after Whitsuntide till the Vigil of St. Peter and Paul so that some years it lasts three weeks others more The Third is called T is agias Parthenou dedicated to the Virgin Mary which lasts from the first to the fifteenth of August in which time they eat no fish except on the sixth being the feast of the Transfiguration of Christ which they observe with Solemnity and call it Metamorphosis tou Sotiros The Fourth is called ton Christogenon which begins forty days before Christmass to wit on the fifteenth of November and continues till the twenty fifth of December for which time they may eat fish except on Wednesdays and Fridays The Caloieros besides these four observe three other Fasts the first before St. Demetrius which lasts twenty days the second begins on the first of September fourteen days before the Exaltation of the Holy Cross the third eight days before the feast of St. Michael Beside these all the Greeks in general fast on Wednesdays and Fridays and several of the most zealous on Mondays also Moreover on the day of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross and the Decollation of St. John the Baptist they keep a more severe Fast Except these times they eat flesh all the week after Easter-Sunday and that whole week after Whit-sunday and for twelve days together after Christmass and a week before the great Lent. They keep likewise three other Vigils in the year That of the Epiphany which they name Paramoni on which day the Greeks baptize the Sea with a great Ceremony the second is the Vigil of St. John the Baptist and the third that of the Cross whereon they are forbid to eat fish Thus those Greeks that are not Monks fast about a hundred and thirty days in the year All the Monasteries of the Religious observe the Rites of the Greek Church and if there should be one amongst them of the Latin Church yet they must observe the Greek Rites It is permitted to these Religious on divers occasions to visit their sick Relations and to go about the Cities living without any Cloyster which doubtless is contrary to the Institution of a Monastick Life There is not in these Isles any kind of Hospital for the Poor Except only in Zant there are two little poor Alms-houses one for the Men and another for the Women under the direction of the Citizens of the Place They used to receive into these houses Foundlings and Bastards but that custom is now left off There are also in these Isles many Protestants most of them English There are four Convents one of Preaching Friars two of Friars Minors Conventuals one in Zant the other in Cephalonia and one of Minors Observants in Zant without reckoning the Parish Church of Argostoli which is a jus patronale of the most Serene Republick which it has bestowed on the Minor Observants These People live willingly under the obedience of the Republick which watches continually for their defence against the powerful irruptions of the Turks And besides for that they permit them to live conformable to their own Rites of which they are so zealous being perswaded of their ancient and pure Institution There grows in this Isle very extraordinary Fruit and that in as great abundance as any Isle thereabouts Caroldi reports that the Isle of Zant was sold with the other Isles by Robert Prince of Tarentum Anno 1350.
