or there about of whō if wel you remēber at my last being w t you I had some cōmunication with your cousin who said y t he was y e Popes sonne I answered that Lord Giacomo was his father for so it was reported and giuen foorth at his birth after which presently he was caried to his house who to take that skandall and slaunder from his father that might haue ensued thereby was contented to father him vpō which thing was made this Pasquil which not yet thrée wéekes since was giuen me by one of his Courtiers and because the inuention thereof is pretie that I knowe you take great pleasure in readyng of such deuises I haue thought it good to set it downe héere The Pasquill The maketh of it fayneth that Pasquine hauing prepared himselfe to flie from Rome meeteth by chaunce with Marforius who entring into discourse with him sayth M. Pasquine whether goest thou in such hast P. I goe to seeke my fortune for I will stay no longer heere M. Alas what doo I heere and what is the cause that moueth thee to forsake thy deare and naturall countrey P. Because there is no more religion heere M. How many that be and if there be no Religion heere where is there any then P. That knowe not I but well I wote that the holy Trinitie is nothing at all accounted of heere M. Alas for you and where is it more manifestly knowen and openly professed then heare I dare take vpon me to make thee confesse and say that in no place else so much as in this holy Citie P. I pray thee Marforius doo mee that fauour as to make mee perceiue that which if thou doost I promise thee I will not forsake my countrey M. I would doo it willingly but I feare thou wilt but mocke mee being a thing so manifest that euery one may see it and feele it P. I will rather thinke my self beholding to thee then mocke thee wherfore I pray thee proceed M. Is it possible that thou doost not perceiue in the Popes persō the representatiō of the eternal father in the Lord Giacomo that of Iesus Christ his sōne in yoūg Philip begotten of the Pope and fathered vpon L. Giacomo that of the holy Ghost proceeding both from the father and the sonne P. Ha Ha Ha by my faith thou sayest true I must needes confesse that the Trinitie is not so apparently knowen in any other place as it is in Rome and therefore I will euen get me home againe and stay the euent of the Romaine Trinitie And thus endeth the Pasquill But to come to my purpose againe where I left I say that commonly the day after y e Pope is dead they are wont to conuey his carkas in a litter alongst Strasteuere attēded on by his wonted Garde of Swizers and light horsemen to the Consistoriall chamber in Saint Peters Pallace where beyng Pontifically apparelled al in white garments euen as if he should celebrate the sacred seruice he is layd vpon the beare couered with a cloth of gold and silke with letters about it saying Gregorius 13. Pont. Max. and two Cardinals hats at his feete and so he is left vntill the euening at which time the whole Colledge of Cardinales beyng assembled there with all the Bishops and Prelates that then are in Rome and with all the Canons of Saint Iohn Laterane and of S. Peter with their richest Coapes on hee is carried into the Popes Chappell before the high Altar where the Bishops Prelates and such people as be there do kisse his féete after which ceremonie he is carried by the Canons of S. Peters layd before the Sacrament Chappel his Pensioners goyng before with theyr Polares the head downeward accompanyed with the Cardinals apparelled in Purple which maketh a goodly showe where beyng layde the woonted funerall ceremonies vnto the dead carkas are celebrated by one of the Canons of the sayde Church after that he is caried into S. Sixtus his Chappell where for thrée dayes space he is left with his féete towardes the grate to the end that those that list may kisse his féete he being attyred as I haue sayd before with many Torches burning day and night about him with a multitude of Priests tending on him for feare he shoulde run away Thrée dayes being ended he is buried in the sayde Church where it pleaseth best his kinsmen wh●●e nyne dayes after continually many Torches are burning for so long his funerals doo last and therefore they are called Nouendalie which importeth in English nine dayes workes A very high scaffolde in the forme of a Piramides beyng made in the middest of the Church couered all ouer with blacke cloth with his armes rounde about but without the Keyes with letters saying Pope Gregorie the 13. which Piramides is vpheld by many pillars vnder which dooth appeare an Hearce all couered with cloth of golde with coushins of the same where euery morning there is a Masse sung by some Cardinall created by the last Pope which Masse being ended he with foure Cardinals more in black Veluet robes and the Subdeane hauing sayd the Epistle taking the crosse in hand the master of the ceremonies and other his officers assisting all the other Cardinals following they goe about the scaffold or Piramides The dead Popes whole houshold sitting about the same vpon fourmes all in mourning apparel with burning torches in their handes some bigger then other some according to the degrées of the men at each corner of the sayd scaffolde is placed a stoole couered with black vpon which the foure Cardinales in black Veluet doo sit and he that hath sung Masse sitting vpon another stoole in the middest of that side that looketh toward the Altar Then he that sitteth at the right hand beginneth to giue holly water to the beare lying vnder the Key and vntill such time as they haue agréed about the Popes election they be so fast that they can not by any meanes come out Many yéeres since it was woont to be but one hall deuided into so many little chambers with hangings of Tapistrie as there were Cardinals but considering that for want of roome and and ayre many dyed before the election there are nowe two great roomes deuided into more then thrée score litle chambers each one of them being more then sixtéene foote square euery one of them hauing a little cabinet or closet ioyned vnto it for the Cardinales seruing men to be in before the Chambers there is a long gallerie for the Cardinals to walke in No Cardinal can bring in more then thrée men that is to say a Secretarie a Gentleman and a Chamberlaine who so long as the election lasteth can not by any meanes come out All which chambers are dressed as it followeth Those which pertaine to the Cardinales created by the last Pope are hanged with purple with all furnitures pertayning to it of the same as Bedsteds Valences Curtaines Couerlets Pillowes Cushines with silke fring
