Death This Controversie was necessary to Cure the Armenians of their Errour in believing that the Souls after the separation neither go immediately to Heaven nor Hell nor yet in Purgatory but that they are preserv'd in a certain place which God assigns them until at the Day of the Universal Judgment they are sent to their Eternal Abode either Happy or Unhappy according to the Merit of their Actions The Controversie was very Solemn again my Lord Argumented in it as before and after him our R. F. Superiour and the R. F. Gaspar White Fryar The Benediction being given and the Complyne ended every body retir'd On the Thursday Friday and Saturday High Masses and Predications were perform'd as before still with a great Concourse of People insomuch that there was a necessity of Preaching twice a day as had been done the Monday and Tuesday before and as we did all the following week On the Monday which was the day on which the Service was to be perform'd in our Church the Arch-Bishop Michael Vertabiet Preach'd about the Wrath of God which extends so far as to Condemn a Soul to the dreadful Pains of Hell On the Friday the R. F. Provincial of the White Fryars Preach●d upon the Torments of the Damn'd and the Eternity of Hell Fire against the Errour of the Armenians who are of Opinion that after some time God will have mercy on the Souls that are in Torment which they ground upon some Traditions of their own and the Translation of their Fathers whereby they are taught that Jesus Christ by his Holy Passion and by his Triumphant Resurrection has vanquish'd and destroy●d Hell This Sermon was Preach'd in the Church of the R R. F. F. Dominicans The following day which was the Saturday I Preach'd in the Church of the Cherimanis the terrible but yet certain truth of the small number of the Elect which surpriz'd every body so much the rather because I shew'd them that it was not only to be understood of the Insidels and Hereticks but also of the Christians and Catholicks I observ●d in this place what I had formerly observ●d in France in my Missions among the Hugonots that the best way to Convert Hereticks and Schismaticks is to Preach Eternal Truths to them and the terrible Maximes of our Religion which being expos'd to them plainly but yet pathetically strikes them and obliges them to declare here what I have often heard them say in France Our Ministers and our Vertabiets deceive us and we have never heard this from them The same Saturday I did what I had done before I went from House to House to Inculcate what had been said in the Churches and to dispose every body to gain the Jubilee But I went particularly among the Slaves and other abandon'd Persons to the end that both Rich and Poor Blind and Lame all might participate to that great Banquet of the Father of the Family whi●● was preper'd for all They began to bring Women to me who desir'd to be Converted and who having never been Confess'd by any Catholick Priest were willing to make their Abjuration in the Tribunal of Penitence The second Sunday in Lent which was also the second Sunday of the Jubilee was very solemn by reason of the Office that was perform'd in the Church of the R. R. F. F. Dominicans High Mass was Sung there by my Lord of Pidou who afterwards Preach'd an Excellent Sermon upon the Subject of Receiving the Sacrament unworthily That Prelate is sufficiently known in France both by the Greatness of his Birth and by the Missions he has made in Poland especially at Leopold where jointly with the Famous Clement Galant Theatin his Master he has establish'd a very fine College maugre all oppositions for the instructing of the Armenians As this Prelate is perfectly acquainted with the Errours of the Armenians having read all their Books besides his being very well vers'd in their Tongue he Combats their Superstitions in a way which they can no wise answer The Devotion was great on the day that Prelate Preach'd A Controversie was held in the Afternoon upon the particular Judgment and the rest as before The next day being Pope St. Gregory's Day so much Reverenc'd by all the Eastern Nations and even by the Armenians whose Schism and Heresie he Condemns absolutely ordering all People to submit to the four first Oecumenical or General Councils and consequently to that of Chalcedon in the same manner as they submit to the four Evangelists We thought it Very necessary to render the Name and Memory of that incomparable Doctor of the Church yet more Famous in a Place where his Authority could be of use Therefore his Festival was Solemniz'd with all the Pomp that could be in our Church where all the Religious assisted with their Copes on and our Scholars in Surplices as the Seminarists are in France High Mass was Sung by Monsieur Samson and Celebrated with all the Regularity and Exactness imaginable And whereas he speaks the Armenian Tongue perfectly well he made a very moving and very pressing Sermon about the Love and Charity we ought to have towards our Enemies He shew'd a Crucifix and drew Tears from all the Auditors The rest follow'd as before On the Tuesday there was nothing extraordinary The Wednesday was Famous by a solemn Service we made for the Souls of the Dead in order thereby to Establish the Truth of Purgatory which the Armenians reject We had erected a Monument in the middle of the Church very neat and very full of Lights The Altar was cover'd with Black Velvet and Satin The R. F. Provincial of the White Fryars Sung High Mass upon it and Preach'd about Purgatory He shew'd that the practice of Praying for the Dead was very necessary and Holy After which the Solemn Absolution was pronounc'd round about the said Monument and all ended with the Benediction of the Crucifix which was expos'd as it is Customary in several of our Churches in France All these Ceremonies being practis'd with Majesty and Devotion move the Armenians extreamly and inspire them insensibly with Love for our Holy Religion For which Reason they say that Rome is above all and that they see nothing like it among them they confess freely as I have already observ'd when they hear us Preach that their Vertabiets who are Reverenc'd among them as their Chief Doctors cannot do it thus by degrees they fall off from them and join with us out of Esteem and Affection The Morning Service being thus ended a Controversie was held in the Afternoon about the same Purgatory The Armenians who had relish'd the preceeding Disputes came to propose their difficulties themselves to the end that they might not have any thing to reproach themselves with upon that Subject Finally to show that the Union we desir'd to Establish between the Latin and Armenian Church was not only an Union in relation to Living Persons but that it ought also to extend to the Dead we
is vacant by the Death of a Religious who was an Armenian by Birth come from Abbenner Monsieur Samson Missionary of Hamadam has taken the care of that Church upon him until it be provided for All things being thus regulated by the general Approbation of every body we pitch'd upon the first Sunday in Lent to make the overture of the Jubilee and the third to close it But first we got his Holiness's Bull Translated into the Armenian Tongue and we made three Copies of it which we Adorn'd with his Holiness's Coat of Arms in Gold to please the Armenians who have a great Veneration for those kind of Bulls when they come to them from the Pope or from the Patriarch and they call them Letters of Benediction The Overture of this Jubilee should of right have been perform'd in one of the Franc Churches to make the Armenians sensible that they ought to expect all their Jurisdiction from the Roman Church as from the Spring-head But whereas the main end of this Jubilee was to make both the Ancient Catholicks and Hereticks whose Conversion we aim'd at sensible that the Francs and the Armenians were but one and the same in Jesus Christ we made no difficulty to allow the Armenians to have that Overture made in their Budding Church and to conclude it in ours provided that while a Function should be perform'd in one Church all the Missionaries should assist at it and assemble all the Catholicks of both sides there Thus the Overture of the Jubilee was made on the first Sunday in Lent being the 24th of March in the Armenian Catholick Church of the Cherimanis where a world of People repair'd from all parts to assist at the Reading of the Letter of Benediction of the Holy Pontif of the Universal Church and to learn at the same time whas was to be done to profit of the Favour he imparted to all Christians The Latin Clergy compos'd of twelve Missionaries all with their Copes on and as many Franc Scholars all with Surplices having the Lord Bishop of Bagdat at the head of them appear'd there on one side and on the other the Armenian Clergy compos'd of three Priests four or five Deacons and abundance of Children imploy'd in the Service of that Church having at their Head two Vertabiets Catholick Arch-Bishops who declar'd themselves of late for the Roman Church This Solemnity began with High Mass which was Sung in Latin with Dean and Sub-Dean by my Lord of Bagdat assisted by the other Missionaries and our Scholars who on that occasion did all things with as much Exactness Regularity and Decency as if it could have been done in one of our Cathedrals in France at the Offertory the Arch-Bishop Michel who resides in the Church of the Cherimanis advanc'd to the middle of the Altar and put his Holinesse's Bull upon his head after which he read it with a laudible voice and explain'd it in few words In the next place the R. F. Hely Provincial of the R. R. F. F. the White Fryars who possesses the Armenian Tongue perfectly made a very fine Sermon to explain the importance thereof more at large and at the same time to inform the Armenians who are lately come to our Communion what a Jubilee is The Explication of the Bull being ended the Arch-Bishop took it into his hand again and made every body kiss it and put it upon their heads out of respect beginning by the Clergy and ending by the Franc and Armenian Catholicks The Mass ended and the Benediction of the Holy Sacrament given by my Lord of Babylone concluded that first action which was one of the most Solemn of the Jubilee by the sincere and indissoluble Union it created between the two Franc and Armenian Churches to the admiration of the Hereticks and extream joy and satisfaction of the Catholicks The next day being the Monday of the first week in Lent all the Service was perform'd in our Church which was as well adorn'd as ever I saw any in France with great Tents of China Satin Damask and Tafeta which set it off incomparably well In the morning I sung High Mass there the which was follow'd by the Benediction of the Holy Sacrament according to Custom In the Evening after Complyne was Sung the Reverend Father Provincial of the White Fryars made an excellent Controversie upon the marks of the true Church at which abundance of Hereticks were present out of Curiosity The Controversie was held in the form of a Thesis maintain'd and defended by the same Father and Combated by the Assistants My Lord Bishop Argumented first I was the second and Father Cherubin of the Order of St. Francis was the third and all in the Armenian Tongue The manner of explaining things debated on both sides by way of Syllogisms was very agreeable to the Principal Armenians in that City who have a great deal of wit and are capable of those kind of Disputes particularly by reason that their Litteral Tongue as well as the Arabian does not want necessary Terms for that way of Arguing The Controversie being ended the R. F. Gaspar a White Fryar Preach'd upon the Enormity of the Mortal Sin and after Sermon this second day ended with the Benediction of the Holy Sacrament On the Tuesday every body repair'd to the Church of the R. R. F. F. Dominicans Administred by Monsieur Samson in the absence of those Fathers and every thing was done there as it had been done at ours excepting the Controversie In the Morning High Mass was sung there The Benediction given In the Afternoon the Complyne was Sung The R. F. Cherubin Preach'd upon the importance of Salvation The Benedictioa follow'd as in the Morning which ended the day On the Wednesday which was the third day of the Armenians Great Fast we return'd to the Church of the Cherimanis there to Celebrate the Ceremony of the Ashes which we thought fit to give them in order to use them incensibly to the Holy Practices of the Church of Rome Monsieur Samson who has an excellent Tallent for Languages explain'd that Ceremony to them by a very fine Sermon After which my Lord Bishop of Bagdat perform'd the Ceremony of the Ashes and Administred them to every body High Mass was Sung with Dean and Sub-Dean by our R. F. Superiour and all being ended Coga Mourat who is the third of the Cherimanis would needs treat the Missionaries as Coga Marvara his Brother had done the preceeding Sunday That which afforded most matter of Consolation in those two Banquets of Devotion was That these Gentlemen out of humility and respect would needs serve us at Table themselves with their Children who are the Chief of that City and all made Gentlemen by the King of Persia out of consideration of the Services their Ancestours have done to the Crown The Repast being ended we went back to Church where Father Hely made a Controversie as he had done before with us about the State of Souls after
