Virgins Fraternities Chanters Warriers and such like Yea what say ye to the Ornaments Albe Stole Girdle Maniple Amist Cope Chasible Platine Pix Censour and many other things A Gentleman being reproued for not vailing his Bonet when the Holy Water was cast on his head answered that if it had that vertue to penetrate to Purgatory it would no doubt goe thorow his Hat well enough In Burgandy neere a Village called Chaseule a Countryman hearing Ringers went into the Church and kneeled before a Crucifix standing neere the Belfry which fell downe and had almost dashed out his braines so that the Ringers were faine to leaue worke to carry him home Vpon his recouery he comes to the same Church againe and findes a yong smiling Crucifix in the place of the old for the other was broken in the fall which looking stedfastly vpon he could forbeare no longer but thus began Cast as good a countenance toward me as thou wilt I will neuer trust thee For if thou liue to be a man thou wilt be as vnhappy as euer was thy father who would haue kill'd me When Pope Leo the tenth was told by his Confessor that hee needed to feare nothing considering he had the keyes of heauen and the treasurie of the Church He answered in this sort Thou knowest that he which hath sold a thing hath no longer right nor interest therein therefore seeing I haue sold heauen and all to others I am afraid I shall haue nothing to doe there my selfe When Pope Iulius the second cast S.
