The MANNER of the CORONATION Of the PRESENT Pope ALEXANDER VIII And the Ceremonies thereunto belonging TOGETHER WITH The Order of the Procession In a LETTER from a Gentleman then residing in ROME to his Friend at LONDON Licens'd according to Order J. F. 1689. SIR AS concerning the manner of creating the Popes it hath been different in divers times for in the Primitive Church only the Clergy of Rome had power to make the Election but this right afterwards descended to the Emperor and the People In the Year 684 the Emperor Constantine the IVth parted with this Power and the Clergy alone and the People created the Pope but in the Year 963 Pope Leo the VIII being driven from his Seat by the Roman people who bore in those days so little Respect to the Popes that they us'd to Treat 'em very evilly and sometimes banish 'em and sometimes even put 'em to death as they did Pope Leo the III. Benedict the VI. and Pope John the XIV Then did the Emperor Otho the II. reassume the Right and Power of Electing the Popes which Constantine the IV. had surrendred to the people as aforesaid The Exarchs of Ravenna Lieutenants for the Emperor in Italy and the Roman people had often great Disputes together for the Elections the which caused Schisms such as was that of Innocent the II. against Anaclete the II. the which obliged Victor the IV. to assemble a General Council at Rome at St. John of Lateran's where it was ordein'd That the Clergy alone should give their Suffrages and Pope Celestine the XXI was the first that was created after this manner But a little while after this Right and Propriety was conferr'd upon the Cardinals only and in the Council of Lateran following assembled by the Pope Calistus the III. it was then ordein'd That two thirds of the Suffrages should be requisite and necessary for the Creation of a Pope And in the end at the second Council-General held at Lyons under Gregory the X. it was concluded upon amongst the Rules and Canons that were there and then made touching the Ceremonies of Electing and Creating a Pope That the Cardinals should be shut up in a Conclave from whence they should not come forth until the Election was ended which is performed after this manner following He that ought to be chosen is proposed in the Conclave upon which proposition the Cardinals go to the Scrutiny and finding the number of Suffrages requisite the Masters of the Ceremonies go to the Cell of the Cardinal that is Elected and declare to him the News of his Exaltation after which they conduct him to the Chapel of the Conclave and being there Vested in his Pontifical Habit he there receives the Respects which the Cardinals are wont to render to the Sovereign High-priests After which one Cardinal with one Master of the Ceremonies go to the House of Benediction and there declare to the people his Exaltation and thereupon immediately are heard the Acclamations of Long Live POPE Alexander all the Artillery being discharged with the Chiming of all the Bells in the City Then the Pope being set in his Pontifical Chair is carryed to St. Peter's Church and is there placed upon the Altar of the Apostles whither all the Cardinals go a second time to do him Homage and from thence his Holiness is reconducted to his Apartment after having given his Benediction to the people and some few days after the Ceremonies of his Exaltation and Coronation are performed in the same Church of St. Peter after this manner following Upon the day of his Holiness's Coronation all Cardinals Embassadors of Kings Princes c. and the pri●cipal Lords about the Court wait upon him at his Apartment from thence they accompany him to the Church and even into the Sacristy into which he is carried in a Chair and there his Holiness is Vested in his Pontifical Habit and when he comes from thence he ascends a portable Theatre on which stands his Pontifical Chair and is so carryed up to the Altar across the Church then very full of people being assembled to see that Ceremony and in some parts of that Church there are Scaffolds set up for the chief Lords and Ladies and persons of Quality He is preceded by the Cardinals and Embassadors while all the people kneeling Eccho forth their Acclamations of Long Live Pope A.
