Gualterius After this he gave the Original Briefe to the Master of the ceremonies of his Highness who was Signior Carlo Pompeati Canon of the Cathedral Church of Trent a person famous for his birth and education who read it with a lowd and clear voice and then gave it into the hand of the Notary there present My Lord Ho●sterius added some latine words which began Though this thing in open view c. He sate down and was covered according to instruction And here then the cushion being brought before him which as we said before was laid on the last step of the Altar the Queen conducted thither by

with a firme faith and professe all and every thing contained in the Creed of Faith the holy Roman Church us●th namely I believe in one God the Fathe● Almighty Maker of Heaven and Earth of all things visible and invisible and in one Lord Jesus Christ the onely begotten Son of God and borne of his Father before all times God of God Light of Light true God of true God begotten not made consubstantial to the Father by whom all things are made who for us men and our salvation descended from the Heavens and was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary and made man crucifi●d also for us and suffered under Pontius Pilate and was buried And arose the third day accord●ng to the Scriptures and ascended into Heaven sits at the right hand of his father and is to come again with glory to judge the quick and the dead of whose Kingdom there shall be no end And I believe in the Holy Ghost the Lord and giver of life who proceeds from the Father and the Son who together with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified who spake by the Prophets and in one holy Catholick and Apostolical Church I confesse one Baptisme in the remission of sinnes and expect the resurrection of the dead and the life to come Amen I firmly admit and embrace the Apostolical and Ecclesiastical Traditions and the other observances and constitutions of the same Church I likewise admit the sacred Scripture according to the sense our holy Mother the Church hath held and holds to whom it belongs to judge of the sense and interpretation of the holy Scriptures neither will I ever receive and interpret it but according to the unanimous consent of the Fathers I likewise professe seven true and proper Sacraments of the new Law instituted by Christ Jesus our Lord and to the salvation of mankind though al to every one are not necessary namely Baptisme Confirmation Eucharist Penance extream Unction Order and Matrimony and these to conferre grace and of these Baptisme Confirmation and Order cannot be reiterated without Sacriledge I receive and admit the received and approved rites of the Catholick Church in the solemn administration of these Sacraments I embrace and receive all and every thing which have been designed and declared in the holy Council of Trent concerning Original sin and justification I also professe that in the Masse there is offered up to God a true proper and propitiatory sacrifice for the living and the dead and that in the most holy Sacrament of the Eucharist there are truly really and substantially the body and blood with the soul and divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ and a conversion made of the whole substance of the bread into the body and of the whole substance of the wine into the blood of Christ which conversion the Catholick Church calls Transubstantiation I likewise confess that under each kind Christ is whole and entire and a true Sacrament to be received I constantly hold there is Purgatory and the souls there detained are helpt by the suffrages of the faithfull And that in like manner the Saints raigning together with Christ are to be honoured and invocated and that they offer up to God prayers for us and their reliques to be held in veneration I firmely assert the images of Christ and of the blessed Virgin as also of other Saints are to be had and retained and due honour and reverence to be given to them I likewise affirm the power of indulgences is left by Christ in his Church and their use very healthfull to Christian people I acknowledge the holy Catholick and Apostolical Roman Church to be the Mother and Mistress of all Churches And I promise and swear true obedience to the Bishop of Rome the successor of Saint Peter the chief of the Apostles and Vicar of Jesus Christ And all other things delivered defined and declared by the sacred Canons general Councils and especially by the holy Council of Trent I undoubtedly receive and professe and the contrary and all heresies whatsoever condemned rejected and anathematiz'd by the Church I also condemne reject and anathematize This true Catholick faith without which none can be saved which I here professe willingly and do truly hold the same entire and inviolable I will by Gods assistance most constantly retain and confesse and as much as in me lies endeavour that the same may be held taught and preacht by my subjects and those under my command I the said Christina doe promise vow and swear so help me God and these holy Evangelists CHRISTINA Her Majesty read the said Profession with such forcible expression that all remained no less astonisht than toucht with compunction at such an heroick resolution and here 't was observed that at every new period or parcell of the Scripture aforesaid her Majesty lifting up her head and fixing her eyes in the countenance of Holstenius with the freedom of her sight shew'd what resolution and affection her heart labour'd with so as this generous action so soften'd the minds of the assistants that from the eyes of many the teares out of tenderness trickel'd down in abundance The said Holstenius was not able to suppress them without difficulty and violence while he thought with what melting affection the mind of his Beatitude would have been mov'd if he had seen that action the noblest and most memorable of all to be seen in the world Her profession being ended and the oath contain'd in it taken Holstenius stood up and recited the following Verses and Prayers O Lord God of vertues convert us and shew thy face and we shall be safe Arise O Christ and help us and deliver us for thy name sake Let thy

mercy O Lord be upon us as we have hoped in thee O Lord hear my Prayer and let my cry come unto thee Our Lord be with you And with thy spirit Let us Pray O God who shewest the light of thy truth to the erring to the end they may return into the way of justice grant to all of the Christian profession to reject those things that are contrary to this name and correctest those and dispersed gatherest them together and gathered together preservest them We beseech thee mercifully to pour on Chr●stian people the grace of thy union that all division rejected vniting themselves to the true pastor of thy Church they may be able worthily to serve thee OMnipotent eternall God receive this thy sheep with thy fatherly piety withdrawn by thy power from the jawes of the wolfe and renew her to thy flock by thy mercifull ben●gnity that the enemy rejoyce not at the dammage of thy family but that in her conversion and delivery thy Church as a pious mother may congratulate a daughter that is found O●od ●od who man wonderfully created according to thy image dost mercifully repair propitiously behold this thy servant and what is stolne from her by the hostile blindness of ignorance and deceit of the Devill pardon and absolve through the clemency of thy piety that receiv'd by the communion of thy truth shee may be united to thy holy Church through our Lord Jesus Christ thy sonne who liveth and raig●eth God with thee in the Vnity of the holy Ghost world without end Amen He afterwards sate down and was cover'd giving her absolution in the following forme God forgive thee and absolve thee from all thy sinnes and bring thee to life everlasting And I by Apostolicall authority wherewith I am impower'd to this purpose by the speciall Commission of our holy Lord the Pope Alexander the Seventh absolve thee from all tye of excommunication and interdict and other ecclesiasticall sentences censures and punishments howsoever incurr'd and receive thee into the bosome of our holy mother the Roman Church and restore thee to the holy Sacraments of the same and to the Communion and unity of the faithfull in the name of the Father and the Sonne and the holy Ghost Amen After this hee arose up again and gave her the benediction in the following words Confirme O God that thou hast wrought in us From thy holy Temple which is in Hierusalem Behold thus shall the man bee blessed that feares the Lord. Our Lord bless thee from Sion Who hath made Heaven and Earth The blessing of God Almighty the Father and Sonne and holy Ghost descend vpon thee and remaine alwayes with thee Amen Then the Queen stood up and was by their Highnesses conducted to her first place whither Holstenius repairing in a very low posture congratulated her Majestie and incontinently caus'd the Psalme to bee sung Make yee jubilation to God all the earth c. with musique of exquisite voyces of Organs Trumpets Tabours and Drums And while the said Prelate going into the sacristy prepared himself to sing the solomne Mass father Staudacter a Jesuit Preacher to the Arch-Duke made a Sermon in Dutch so elegant learned and so fit for that action that it ravisht the affections and applauses of all After Mass which was celebrated with the greatest sollemnity Holstenius stay'd on the last step of the Altar and began the Te Deum which was sung with the same harmony accompany'd by the roaring of above 50. Peices of artillary many Mortar-peices and an infinite number of muskets as likewise with the ringing of the bells The Mass was sayd after the Roman fashion as they do in Saint Peters and all were well satisfy'd with it The day after my Lord Holstenius sent to Rome an account of all that had succeeded The Queen wrote to the Pope and consigned the letter to Holstenius in which giving his Holiness information of that she had done she declared her self his most obedient daughter with expressions of much duty and very great respect These letters with others written by the said Holstenius to the Legates and Nuntii with the advice of all and with the Calculation that the Queen would arrive in Ferrara on the 22. of November on the fifth of the said month were sent by an extraordinary Courier who comming out of Poland past in hast towards Rome In the discourses Holstenius had with the Queen in order to her reconciliation to the Catholique Church he giving a hint that after the profession of faith she should receive the Sacrament of Confirmation and then the most holy Eucharist her Majesty said her desire was to communicate the first time in publique by the hands of his Holiness himself and asking him diverse particulars about confirmation said she heard in that function she might change her name or adde another to it and therefore would gladly to the name of Chr●st●na adde that of Alessandra in honour of his Holiness Holstenius reply'd the Pope himselfe at her coming to Rome would much better counsell her than any one else The Evening of the day in which the Queen made her profession was solemniz'd with diverse Bonfires of joy the ringing of the bells and roaring of the Canon and with a most noble and most excellent play represented in musique with very sumptuous machins and scenes which succeeded extreamly delightfull The subsequent night they likewise represented in musique a play called Argia a musicall tragicomedy with admirable prospects of scenes and of greatest curiosity The cloaths of the Actors were most noble and most splendid and the musique very exquisite his Highness having neither spar'd paines nor charges to get the best musitians of Jtaly It lasted six whole hours and her Majesty with the rest of the assistants beheld it with great pleasure and attention The other three dayes her Majesty stay'd in Inspruch she was allwayes entertained with vertuous recreations and both the said Playes were reacted since the tast being never orecharg'd while the appetite lasts they saw the Queen and the rest not yet cloy'd with that pleasure The day before their departure appointed on the 8th of December my Lord Holstenius visited Count Raymond Montecuccoli dispatcht from the Emperour not onely to assist at the possession but to waite on her Majesty to Rome and he was by this courteous Cavalier received with geat demonstrations of esteem On the 8th of December in the morning the Arch-Dukes and Don Antonio Pimentel the Spanish Ambassadour together with Holstenius subscribed 4 Copies of the originall of the foresaid Profession confirmed before by her Majesties own hand to the end that one of them should remain with the Queen one in Inspruch in the place of Records one in the Records of the Vatican Library and the other be sent to the Pope The Signature and Subscriptions under the over-written Profession were these Christina I Ferdinand Charles Arch-Duke of Austria have been a witnesse and

The Queen standing up received their complement with her usual and Majestique Civility The twelve Pages were left with her Majesties Coach to attend her the Magistrates remounting and continuing their journey towards the Apostolicall Palace The souldiers stood in rankes along the streets and the houses were adorned with fine tapistries Being come to the Palace she found in the first hall near the gate the Principall Ladies of the City standing in a stately circle who handsomly paid her their respects waiting on her to the door of her Chamber whom her Majesty received and treated with all Kindnesse and affability Having stai'd a little while in her Chamber it wanting then an howre to night she resolved to go see the famous Arch of Trajan the Emperour all wrought with fine Marble The Senate and People of Rome erected it in honour of him of Plotina his wife and Martiana his Sister who were held in veneration as Deities in that time as by the inscriptions read there may be gather'd Her Majesty went thither in a Chaire attended by the Nuntii and the Governour in Coach with others of quality She was welcomed with many tires of artillery from Rivellino which is in the mouth of the Haven from the Ships and other Partes towards the Sea In her Majesties return she observed two Arches of the Apostolicall Palace to wit the first towards the place repolisht of late and with an old inscription which said 'T is made Celestiall while the Princely Sun beholdes the Arche And two great Arms one of the Pope now raigning and the other of the Queen with the Motto in the midst of them The Starr's and Wind favouring In the second they read The immortall vertue of Christina Queen of Swedland raises me to a veneration of her Majesty This Arch of stone reduc'd into the forme of marble of Verona was on the superficies of the Pillars Bases Chapiters and great medalls wrought in Gold and upon it were erected the arms of her Majesty between two great statues one representing the heroicall vertue and the other liberality and under that was written By yielding she o'recomes by flying quells her enemyes And under the other By parting with her Kingdom she her Empire hath extended And over the arms in a great thick Pastboard By going it encreases That evening about an houre in the night all the Piazze and streets being resplendent with the fires and the lights her Majesty went from her lodgings to those that look't into the Piazza There near the stairs stood a painted machine of wood 36. hands breadths high which with six Mountains a starre and two Oakes represented the arms of his Holyness At the foot of these Mountains was the Tyber which under one hand held a great armes out of which instead of water it actually cast wine with the other supporting the arms of the Queen on which a Lyon lean'd On the one side there was a Virgin which had recourse to the Tyber and on the other a statue which sustaining in her hand Trajans Arch represented the City of Ancona this Motto being at the foot of the Virgin I return safe This machine was full of fire-workes which took very handsomly Many compositions were made in honour of her Majesty among which were certain verses of Count Paul Ferretti a Cavalier of much vertue and of an an●ient Family and Noble he descending from Ulderick Ferretti Lord of the County of Ferretta above Basil towards the County of Burgundy who had a daughter marry'd to Albert the second Duke of Austria The Queen afterwards supp'd in publick in the roome before the Chapell with the Nuntii and Spanish Ambassadour they taking place of him Signior Stefano Renincasa presented the water for her hands and the Marquis Francis Tassoni the napkin The Commender Alexander Fanelli was Sewer and Cavalier Caesar Nappi her Cupbearer and every time her Majestie dranke the signes being given before the Canon of the Fortress were discharg'd My Lord Lewis Gallo Bishop of Ancona the principall Cavalier of Osimo a person of try'd prudence in the charges and mannagement of affairs sustained by him for the holy Sea supposing the Queen in order to his instructions from Rome should quickly have come to his Cathedrall which is the Church of St. Ciriack seated on one of those Promontoryes caused it to be hung with rich Tapistrye and caused too the Altars to be deck'd with the pretiousest Ornaments But he could not have that honour for the said Church being far off from the Palace and on a craggy Mountain the Queen went not thither but instead of going thither the day following when she had heard Mass in the Chapell of the Palace she seeming desirous to see the famous Reliques kept there the Nuntii by the Popes authority gave order that to the said Chapell of the Palace two Canons should bring them with assistance of other Gentlemen and one was the tip of the iron of the lance which open'd the side of our Lord Jesus Christ left in Ancona by the Ambassadour of Bajazet the Emperour of the Turkes in the year 1492 when he passed through that place towards Rome where he gave to Innocent the eighth the head of the speare of the same iron the other the right foot of St. Anne the Mother of the most glorious Virgin Mary with the flesh and the bones given likewise to the said City by the Patriarch of Constantinople Paul Paleolgus in the year 1380. the Queen kneel'd before them and kissed them with great devotion My lord Holstenius who as Canon of the Church of St. Peter had many times handled the relique of the said head of the speare not only assured her Majesty 't was true but likewise affirm'd the colour of the rust was the same as also Pope Clement the eighth passing through Ancona towards Ferrara had that of Ancona confronted with the other of Rome This function being ended the Bishop went to wait on her Majesty who received him most courteously After breakfast she continu'd her journey towards Loretto accompany'd by the said Governour with all the retinue to the bridge of Arciato the Confines of Ancona The Magistrates waited not upon her as at her arrivall because the Master of the Ceremonies told them 't was not necessary At her going away she was saluted by all the Artillery and departed highly satisfy'd with her reception and the honours done her by that noble City Ancona is seated on the side of a Mountain which extending it self

instant some sheets printed in eight languages in which were the following words May Christina live for ever The languages were Latin Greek Syriaque Arabick Hebrew Caldean Coptick and Armenian She went afterwards into the great Hall which was hung with crimson damask with twisted Gold where her Majesty sate under a cloth of state in a chair raised two steps from the ground the Cardinall sitting on her left hand in a lower chair On the four corners of the said Hall were fastned four Epigramms on the four parts of the VVorld At her entrance she was welcom'd by the Scholars in two and twenty languages none of them exceeding two periods which were afterwards presented her in print in a book with this title The agreement of tongues in celebrating the praises of Christina Queen of Swedland This action ended with an invitation of one of the Scholars to the rest to contract in the Latin tongue alone what could be expressed in the rest by all the Colledge to wit the said words that were printed may Christina live for ever which were seconded not only by the Scholars but all the standers by to her Majesties great content She then accompanyed by the said Cardinall went into the Library in which all the printed books are kept and here they found six Scholars with six great basons of Silver in which in stead of sweet-meats seventy two volumes of severall works in two and twenty languages were presented to her which pleased her extreamly At her Majesties going out of the Library she had some compositions presented her likewise in print in severall tongues in her praise to whom they also shewed a great store-house full of volumes printed for the service of the apostolical missionaries all in severall languages her Majestie confessing that in no other part of the World there was the like printing-house for variety of tongues All the order aforesaid was by the direction of my Lord Dionysius Massari the Secretary of the said Congregation Her Majesty unable for the great throngs of people to see at her ease and as she desired the many Compositions Pictures Mottos and Inscriptions set out in the said Roman Colledge resolved to go thither again and privately entered there at the back door being received by the General Father Rho the Provincial and Father Lodovick Bompiani the Rector and many others of the Society She quickly went into the Library which besides a vast number of choyce volumes is beautifully adorned with the Pictures of all the Cardinalls of the Society others that are famous for their writings as likewise of their noble benefactors among which was more remarkable than the rest the Picture of the deceased my Lord John Baptist Coccino a Venetian who thought he could not better establish the memorie of his glories his immortall pains and incomparable deserts as well towards the service of the apostolicall Sea as all learned men than by leaving to the said Roman Colledge his most pretious and copious Library with all his choice Manuscripts Here her Majesty entertaining her self for some time in viewing the many volumes took pleasure too in looking on the Modell and Platforme of the City of Jerusalem which was left by Father Villal-pando with the description of the streets and holy places consecrated by the journeys and passions of our Lord Jesus Christ She then going about the other sides discovered some Greek and Latin Manuscripts lying open on a Table and could judge of the Authors shewing very great learning She went thence into the gallery that was near where Father Athanasius Nircherius the great Mathematician had prepared many curious and remarkable things as well in nature as art which were in so great a number that her Majesty said more time was required and less company to consider them with due attention However she stayed some time to consider the herb called Phoenix which resembling the Phoenix grew up in the waters perpetually out of its own ashes She saw the fountains and clocks which by vertue of the load stone turn about with secret force Then passing through the Hall where she looked on some Pictures well done she went through the walkes and the garden into the Apothecaries shop where she saw the preparation of the ingredients of herbs plants metalls gemms and other rare things for the making of treacle and balsome of life She saw them distill with the fire of the same furnace sixty five sorts of herbs in as many distinct limbecks She saw the philosophical calcination of ivorie and the like She saw extracted the spirits of Vitriol Salt and Aqua-fortis as likewise a jarre of pure water which with two single drops of the quintessence of milke was turned into true milk the only medicine for the shortness of the breath and affections of the breast In fine being presented with treacle and pretious oyles she went into the sacristy where they opened all the presses vvhere they keep the Plate and reliques of the Church vvith the great candlesticks and vases given them by the deceased Cardinall Lodowick Lodovisio the founder of the Church She honoured particularly the blood of St. Esuperantia a Virgin and Martyr which after a thousand and three hundred years is as liquid as if newly shed Then going into the Church she heard Mass and at her departure gave testimonies to the Fathers of her great satisfaction and content Among these entertainments whither sacred or curious the Queen forgat not those of her mind in the recreations of learning Some principal Gentlemen of the Academy of Rome invited to comply with her Majesties desire very willingly concurr'd with their vertuous attendance and talents to obey her holding once a week an Academy before her They were Don Pompeo Colonna Prince of Gallicano the Prince of St.
