by the Pope himself that he might accompany her to the most desired House of the B. Virgin Vnder the walls of Recanati the godly woman beholding the House of Loreto a far of forthwith came out of her Coach and kneeling downe reuerently saluted the Mother of God from whence performing the rest of that iourney on foote all her traine followed the example of their Lady who came into Loreto in a white and a plaine garment shewing therby the great purity of her mind Her modesty was also very singular For being brought into the most sacred House of the B. Virgin by two Bishops without regard of Cushins or Tapestry she fell downe on her knees on the bare floore deuoutly worshipped the King and the Queene of heauen in time past the Inhabitants but now the Gouernours of that House with flowing teares besought pardon for herself and her hu●band and by praier intreated peaceable wedlocke and issue-male Soone after deuoutly receiuing the sacred Mysteries she spent all the night following in praier with humble supplication before the B. Virgin doing also the like the two daies and nights that followed such strength did her feruent deuotion and piety bring vnto her And at her departure The vvorthy gifts or the great Duchesse of Tuscany she hung vp two harts of gold in golden chaines to be a monument that she was either most deare to her and her husband or els that the B. Virgin the author of concord would make her nusbands hart such a one vnto her as she knew hers to be vnto him And not cotēting herself with these Donaries she departed fully determined to honour the B. Virgin of Loreto with some yearly gift which as lōg as she liued she did more carefully thē she purposed A worthy Image of siluer of Christ Crucified with a great Crosse of Ebony foure curious Candlestickes of siluer of a cubite and a half ornaments for the Bishop Priest Ministers and the Altar made of gold and siluer double curled and imbrodered a golden garment for the B. Virgin made with meruailous art also other furniture for the Altar and the holy Chalices beautified with imbrodery iewells gold and siluer were the worthiest gifts of Ioane de Austria whose praier and Donaries obtained her desire For soone after this Pilgrimage to Loreto she had issue-male by her husbād a patterne of his Mothers piety borne in expectance of his Fathers and almost of a Kingly State who a while suruiuing his Mother erected the mindes of his people to the hope of vndoubted felicity But afterward the Mother dying and by the secret iudgment of God the yong child also following his Mother filled Tuscany with sorrow and lamentation And Ioane de Austria did not onely adorne the House of Loreto with her act but also with her example For not long after Margaret de Austria that out of the same family examples may be shewed not only of vertue in men but also of piety in women the daughter of Charles the V. and wife of Octauius Farnesius Duke of Parma came to Loreto with a great company of Noble mē where rightly receauing the mysteries of Confession and the most holy Eucharist for the space of three daies she was allwaies present in the Church at diuine seruice and in the most Maiesticall Chappell it self praied to God his B. Mother not so long The gift of Margaret de Austria as deuoutly and last of all putting a great quantity of gold into the arke honoured the B. Virgin with gifts worthy such a woman The Duchesse of Loraine being brought to Loreto sicke of the Palsey is cured by Miracle CHAP. XXVI THIS praise was not proper to the women of Austria and Italy Annal. Laur. Rier Victo Brigant Christerne or Christine the daughter of the King of Denmarke and of the Emperours sister Charles the V. being Duchesse of Loraine and a woman of manlike valour exceeding piety great age and much hindered with age and the palsey determined to come to Loreto to performe her vow who at the intreaty of her friends would neuer giue consent that the Pope himself should exchange that vow into other workes of piety so feruent was her desire to see the B. Virgin of Loreto Therefore assoone as she and her most Princely traine came into Italy but specially into Picene she made hast to the place whether she was bound well hoping to recouer perfect health by the help of our B. Lady Wheruppon in the very entrance of the most sacred House her soule was not only replenished with heauenly ioy but also her body restored to perfect health And perceyuing that the vse and strength of those members wherin she was molested was restored vnto her by miracle first beyond her custome she stood on her feet by her self alone to make triall of her strength then seeing the thing succeeded well without any help at all she went ioyfully about the most sacred Cell of the B. Virgin all her familiar friends admiring the miracle and greatly extolling the worthy benefit of God and his B. Mother But Christine whome that thing did most concerne entring againe into the most Maiesticall Chappell with flowing teares of ioy fell downe before the Queene of heauen made no end of praising the diuine benefit no end of thanksgiuing and dedicated her self and all hers to God and his B. Mother And afterward that a monumēt of so great a benefit might euer remaine at Loreto in sight of the B.
