that are under the Turk's Dominion cannot take a Wife except they first have obtained permission of the Grand Seignour's Lieutenant This leave being granted they go both into the Cathedral House where they give their Names to be enrolled and having paid a certain Sum of Money to the Patriarch he appoints them the day when they are to be married At the Day appointed they come into the Church and having lighted up several Lamps and Candles in the second and third artition where the Women use to be they begin to sing in the first many Hymns and Prayers in the honour of the Bridegroom and give him several private Exhortations afterwards they conduct him into the third partition commanding him there to set with his Spouse then they sing some Lessons and the Gospel belonging to Matrimony and if the Bridegroom be a Deacon he sings himself the Gospel laid on the Pulpit in the second partition and first in the Coptic Tongue and then in the Arabic These Lessons are taken out of the Book of Genesis where it is spoken of Abraham and Sarah and out of the Apostle St. Paul and the Gospel out of St. John concerning the Marriage in Galelea Which done they lead the Bridegroom solemnly through the Church with many Lamps and Candles and singing many Hymns and Psalms But if the Bridegroom be rich they make several Fire-works wait upon him singing and playing on divers Instruments of Musick and spend so much sometimes in these things as amounteth to more than 3000 Crowns English As for the Dowry which they call the Bond of Matrimony the Husband is obliged to give his Wife according to the Ecclesiastical Canons five and twenty Crowns French Money but several of the Nobility observe not these Canons and thinking it a dishonour to give so little do often bestow some One some Five hundred and some a thousand Crowns The Spouse gives nothing to her Husband but has Cloaths Ornaments and sometimes a House When this Ceremony is ended they are both magnificently conducted into their House where they live in splendour many days and take their pleasure but the second Night after the Marriage the Husband according to the Custom goes into a secret room and the next day early in the Morning ought to shew them that are present the Sign of Virginity that is Sanguinem illum qui effluxit ex persractâ pelliculâ illâ called by all Physitians the Sign of Virginity or Hymen which effluction uses to appear on the Linnen and if it does not the Spouse suffers in her Reputation and if the Husband pleases to use his Right he may send her again to her Parents who shall be bound to pay all the Charges he has been at CHAP. XVI Of the Sacrament of Extream Unction THey very seldom use Extream Vnction or Auricular Confession or Eucharist for they keep none in the Church as do the Papists and Greeks it is given only to them who are in their last agony or dying and if there be present a Minister of the Church he exhorts the sick to be of good Courage and to hope for a more lasting and better Life but if no Minister be present he is encouraged by either his Parents or Relations and when he is gone out of this Life his Corps his brought into the Temple where the Priest reads some Prayers and Hymns used at Funerals which ended they bury him either in the Church or one of the other Platforms or Divisions then they pray at home forty days for the deceased and again at the end of six Months once and as much at the end of the Year Thus they do for their Gentry As for the poor or common people they pray once only after the third day as much after the fortieth and the same at the end of six Months and of the Year And then mention is made of the time of his death both at home and in the Church whilst the Priest reading some prayers incenseth and puts some Frankincense in the Sepulcher They also bestow many Alms upon the poor and Mass is also said for the Soul of the departed CHAP. XVII Of the Worship of Images and Reliques of Saints THey pay Religious Veneration to the Images of Saints and in this they surpass all Nations living under the Sun They have as we said in the Chapter of the Form of the Temple some particular places wherein they set their Images On Holy-days they light up Candles and Lamps before them and if any adversity at any time happens or imminent danger appear they apply themselves to them and with great devotion ask their assistance bowing down to the ground and beating their breasts with their fists and also shedding of many tears But they have nothing graven because they think that an Idol but only Images of Wood pictured according to the manner of the Greeks neither do they use any new Images as the Papists do but only those of the Virgin Mary and some Doctors of the Primitive Church as of Georgius Theodorus and also of Martyrs as Antonius Marcus and of Holy Fathers The Images of God the Father or of the Holy Ghost they have not but that of Christ and of the Virgin they have painted together in their private Houses which they do worship with great devotion CHAP. XVIII Of Monks and the Place of their Habitation THE Monks and those that the French generally call Religious amongst the Jacobites live much more strictly then those that live in Europe for they observe the ancient Orders of St. Anthony and Macarius which were the first amongst them and inhabit to this very day those places wherein they lived formerly as Thebais and Scytia which are parts of Aegypt They carefully abstain from all Victuals provoking sensuality they live all their Life time on Bread and Roots and such things excepting Easter and Christmas and then they eat on Eggs and Fish if they can get them any They never goe into any rich or fine Towns The Priors and Servants of the Monastery only go out and the last of these that they ma beg But if any through necessity which we commonly call the Soveraign Law is forced to go out he obtains leave first of his Abbot or Priour who grants him a certain limited time and if he return not within that time he is punished and forced to undergo a great penance They pass whole Nights and Days in Prayers and Spiritual Exercises except the Laics who serve not at the celebration of Mass but the Clerks of the Monastery ought to do their Office They go not in silken or delicate Apparel but in very poor and course for none of them change their habit as long as they live and if it happens to be sometimes torn they cover it with pieces They wear a Shirt and upon it a Robe made of the coursest Wool and go barefoot in their Monastery tho' sometimes they wear shoes when they go out they wear also a Hood and a
