After this his Holinesse sings the Masse of the day with the commemoration of the said Saint and whilst the Creede is sung three Cardinalls offer unto the said Saint in the Offertory three white waxe lights three turtle doves also white and other birds Masse being done the Pope departs away accompanied with the Cardinalls as he useth to be Of the Popes washing of poore mens feet UPon Munday Thursday after the solemne Benediction the Cardinalls accompany his Holinesse who is carried in his chaire by his Palfreymen unto the Ducall Hall where being arrived he puts off his Papall ornaments and by the Deacon Cardinall assisting him being adorned with a purple stole a red pluniate and a Pluniate is a black long coate plaine Miter he sitts downe in the Pontificall seate prepared for him Then putting incense into the Censer he blesseth the Deacon Cardinal who is to reade the Gospel That done he kisseth the Text which is held forth unto him by the Apostolicall Subdeacon and so being Censed by the said Cardinall Deacon the Anthem of Mandatum novum beginning to be sung by the Singing men he layes by his pluniate and an aprone before him in which habit he washeth the feet of twelve poore men unto each of whom he causeth to be given by the Treasurer Generall successively certaine Medalls of gold and siluer and by the Master of the Houshold the Towell wherewith their feet were wiped That done the Pope returnes unto his seate after he hath put off his aprone washed and dryed his hands the bason of water being held unto him by the greatest secular Noble man or Prince there present and his hands wiped by the chiefe Priest-Cardinal Then putting his red pluniate on againe and laying downe his Myter he sayes the Pater Noster together with the verses and prayer them After this he placeth himselfe anew in his seate puts on his Miter goes on foot to the Chamber of dressing and so returnes to his lodging Of the Cardinalls and their Originall THis word Cardinall signifies no other then Presbyter principalis nam altissimae Caeli portae vocantur cardines ventique inde venientes appellantur cardinales In Parochia in qua erant plures Clerici qui caeteris praeerant in ea parochia qui suberat Episcopo appellabater Presbyter Cardinalis ista convertebantur habebat curam annimarum et erat Presbyter Cardinalis This word as it is likely was found out in the time of Pope Higinius an hundred and fifty yeares after Christ whereas many Priests were placed in Parishes and degrees of them setled whereupon the Office being found it was probable the name was then also found The first mention of the word Cardinall was in the time of Saint Silvester three hundred yeres after Jesus Christ our Lord appeared by the Synod held in Rome under Saint Silvester This word Cardinal is at this day common to three degrees to Priests Deacons and Bishops At the first as we see before it was given to Priests only whose Office it was then in particular to have a care of the buriall of the Faithfull whereunto

water whereupon they being wiped dry he againe blesseth them anew praying in this manner VVe most humbly beseech thee most mercifull Father that thou wilt vouchsafe so to sanctifie and consecrate these immaculate Lambs which we have formed of pure wax to thy honour and glory that whosoever shall devoutly be are them about them may be kept and defended from all dangers both of soule and body through the merits of Jesus Christ our only Lord and Saviour Then the Agnus Dei being laid in their cases againe his Holinesse departeth away usually carrying those Cardinalls which served him in that function to dinner with him We read that Pope Urban the fifth sent three Agnus Dei's to the Greek Emperor with these ensuing verses Balsamus munda cera cum chrismate unda Conficiunt Agnum quod munus do tibi magnum Fonte velut natum per mystica sanctificatum Fulgura de sursum depellit omne malignum Peccatum frangit ut Christi sanguis angit Pregnans servatur simul partus liberatur Dona defert dignis virtutem destruet ignis Portatus mundè de fluctibus eripit undae Of the Benediction of the Golden Rose by the Pope THe Popes are accustomed on the fourth Sunday of Lent when as Laetare Hierusalem is sung in the Church to blesse the Golden-Rose and to give the same to some great Prince if he be present in the Court but if there be no Prince in the Court worthy of so great a gift it is sent abroad to some King or Prince as seemeth best to his Holinesse with the advice of the sacred Colledge for the Pope useth either before or after Masse to call the Cardinalls into his Chamber or to some other place according as it pleaseth him and deliberateth with them to whom the said Rose shall be given or sent whereupon there is a little Altar prepared with two silver Candlesticks on it to which the Pope repairing he kneels down before it and thus prayes O Lord God by whose word and power all things are made and by whose providence the whole world is governed which art the joy and gladnesse of all the faithfull we humbly beseech thy Majesty that thou wilt of thy goodnesse vouchsafe to blesse and sanctifie this Rose which at this present in signe of spirituall joy we hold in our hands And because the Church doth this day to the glory of thy name triumph and rejoyce in this signe be gratiously pleased to impart unto it perfect gladnesse so that to all them which with devotion shall receive it thou wilt grant remission of sins increase of faith thy mercifull protection and all prosperity for his sake who with the liveth reigneth in the unity of the Holy spirit God for ever and ever Amen This prayer ended the Pope anoynts the Golden Rose with Balsamum puts Musk upon it sprinkles it with holy-water and perfumes it with incense all which are ministred unto him by the Lord keeper of the vestry After this the Pope departs away and carryes the said Rose to his Chamber where if he unto whom he intends to give it is present he is called for and to him kneeling at his feet he gives the Rose saying Receive from us who though most unworthy do hold the place of God on earth this Rose whereby is signified the joy of both the Hierusalems namely of the Triumphant and militant Church receive it I say beloved sonne who according to thy noble extraction art indued with greatnesse and power to the end thou mayest be the more enabled with all vertue in Christ our Lord as the Rose planted on the banks of many waters which grace vouchsafe he to grant unto thee of his infinite mercy who is three in one from everlasting to everlasting in the name of the Father of the sonne and of the Holy Ghost Amen Then he unto whom the Rose is given after he hath kissed the Popes foot and hand departs to his owne home accompanied with the whole Colledge of Cardinalls in the midst of two of the ancientest of them and attended upon by the foot posts of the Roman Court who use to receive from him unto whom the Rose is given great rewards Of the manner of the Canonization of a Saint by the Pope AFter that the Fame of the excellencie of life and Holinesse of some certain person together with the miracles he hath done have been spread abroad and that the Pope hath been made acquainted therewith by some King Prince or people which doe pray that the said person being dead may be inrolled in the Catalogue of Saints and be declared and honoured for a Saint his Holinesse doth advise of the matter with his Brethren whereupon if he thinks it fit to proceed to inquisition he requires some Prelates which are resident in those parts where the said person lived and lies buried diligently to informe themselves and carefully to enquire of the fame opinion and peoples devotion concerning the said person which inquisition they are to make without the Legall examination of witnesses and what they finde faithfully to report by their Letters unto the Pope who doth then propound all that hath been related by the said Prelates unto the sacred Colledge and with them deliberates whether their relation seem worthy enough of a further enquirie which if it doe the same or other Prelates are required most diligently to enquire of the matter to examine witnesses and throughly to search into all things which may conduce to the finding out of the truth thereof and articles and interrogatories are sent under the Apostolicall Bull to the said Prelates wherewith they are to examine witnesses upon oath concerning the excellencie and sanctimony of life and purity of Faith of the said person as also touching the miracles he hath wrought which being accordingly performed by them they are to send all that they have done together with the depositions of the witnesses faithfully written in their Letters sealed with their seales to the Court which the Pope having received commits the examination thereof to some Auditors of the sacred Palace who make processes to the end they may see whether the inquisition and probation be legitimate and sufficiently made Then if they report that all is as it ought to be the Pope againe by the advice of his Brethren appoints three Cardinalls diligently to examine the inquisitions proofes and depositions of the witnesses and carefully to consider all things that are to be considered especially concerning the said persons excellency of life and puritie of faith which if they shall be judged by the Colledge to be well proved and worthy of sanctification the Pope with the consent of the Cardinalls proceeds to the approbation of the said persons life and miracles which have been so sufficiently proved and decrees the Cannonization of him After this all the Prelates of the Court with the Pope and sacred Colledge assemble together in the secret Consistory where his Holinesse briefly propounds
