THE
HISTORY
.
OF
THE
Sacred
and
Royal
Majesty
OF
CHRISTINA
ALESSANDRA
QUEEN
OF
SWEDLAND
With
the
Reasons
of
her
late
Conversion
to
the
Roman
Catholique
Religion
.
As
also
a
Relation
of
the
severall
entertainments
given
her
by
divers
Princes
in
her
Journey
to
Rome
,
with
her
magnificent
Reception
into
that
City
.
LONDON
,
Printed
for
T.
W.
and
are
to
be
sold
at
the
Signe
of
the
Bell
in
St.
Pauls
Church-yard
,
1658.
To
the
glory
of
the
Age
,
and
Compendium
of
Honour
and
Nobility
,
her
Grace
the
Dutchess
of
RICHMOND
and
LENOX
.
May
it
please
your
Grace
,
THE
golden-Apple
,
on
which
was
this
Inscription
,
be
it
given
to
the
fairest
,
Paris
presented
to
Venus
,
as
surpassing
the
others
in
beauty
.
The
same
condition
is
annexed
to
this
History
,
which
belonging
of
right
to
the
fairest
,
most
justly
is
presented
to
your
Grace
,
as
surpassing
all
others
in
the
beauty
of
the
body
,
and
mind
.
And
whom
should
a
Queen
so
renown'd
for
her
vertues
,
and
eminent
qualities
,
make
her
addresses
to
,
if
not
to
your
Grace
,
who
like
the
glorious
Sun
among
the
lesser
lights
,
out-shines
all
other
Ladies
with
the
rayes
of
your
Graces
rare
vertues
,
and
admirable
parts
.
These
reflections
(
Madam
)
invited
this
great
Princess
to
recurre
to
your
Grace
,
who
like
the
River
Nilus
,
disdains
to
mix
the
waters
she
brings
from
a
Paradise
,
with
any
other
streame
.
Since
the
offering
then
(
Madam
)
is
no
waies
unworthy
of
your
Graces
noble
Altar
,
where
Hecatombs
are
only
to
be
sacrificed
,
be
pleased
not
to
lessen
it
in
your
Graces
esteem
,
because
presented
by
,
Madam
Your
Graces
most
humble
and
most
devoted
Servant
,
IOHN
BURBERY
.
TO
THE
READER
.
IN
the
Catastrophe
of
the
accidents
,
which
still
are
reducing
this
Age
,
into
a
large
abridgment
of
all
that
are
past
,
the
resolutions
and
talents
of
Christina
Alessandra
,
Queen
of
Swedland
,
have
an
eminent
place
.
That
a
Queen
by
birth
,
of
a
spirit
so
sublime
,
and
the
Epilogue
of
all
vertues
,
should
depose
her
Scepter
voluntarily
,
and
fall
at
the
feet
of
the
Vicar
of
Christ
,
to
receive
there
in
his
blessings
—
a
crown
of
Paradise
,
in
such
a
resolution
,
as
too
much
surpasses
the
capacity
of
man
,
and
not
only
custome
.
The
World
peradventure
hath
not
seen
any
other
,
that
to
purchase
the
true
Faith
,
hath
abandoned
his
own
Kingdoms
,
and
to
be
enriched
with
the
Jewels
of
Heaven
,
hath
divested
himself
of
the
treasures
of
the
earth
.
I
therefore
have
begun
to
compose
a
particular
History
of
it
,
and
hitherto
have
gone
on
with
delight
,
for
it
contains
not
only
a
great
Princesses
rare
qualities
,
and
Prerogatives
,
but
likewise
the
entertainments
,
she
hath
till
now
received
of
the
greatest
Princes
,
and
Monarchs
of
Christendom
,
so
as
it
may
truely
be
said
,
Christina
the
great
in
her
resolutions
,
and
receptions
,
could
meet
with
nothing
equall
to
her
great
desert
,
but
the
mind
,
and
piety
of
a
Philip
,
and
an
Alexander
.
Some
perhaps
may
think
,
I
have
employed
my
Pen
in
certain
little
things
not
suitable
to
the
Majesty
of
the
History
,
but
let
them
remember
,
the
knowledge
of
individuums
,
and
the
memories
of
particular
men
,
provided
they
deserved
well
of
fame
,
encrease
still
in
credit
,
and
delight
with
Posterity
.
In
case
they
persist
in
the
rigour
of
their
scruples
,
they
will
easily
be
satisfied
,
if
they
read
alone
that
part
,
which
pleases
them
most
,
Farewell
.

Reformers

the
study

Padoua

seen
by

Alessandra

repugnant

of

I
Write
in
my
History
,
the
end
of
the
life
of
Gustavus
Adolphus
,
King
of
Swedland
,
who
dy'd
in
the
height
of
his
fortunes
,
in
the
bloody
battell
of
Lutzen
,
a
Prince
,
who
with
the
fame
of
his
valour
,
had
chain'd
the
affections
of
his
subjects
;
drawn
after
him
the
attendance
of
strangers
,
and
purchased
veneration
and
respect
,
among
his
enemies
themselves
.
The
life
and
qualities
of
Gustavus
Adolphus
of
Swedland
.
Never
any
Prince
was
beloved
so
well
,
nor
so
faithfully
serv'd
.
They
,
who
could
not
see
him
,
desir'd
at
least
his
Picture
,
to
reverence
it
,
as
the
Idea
of
Military
valour
.
His
first
inclination
to
Arms
was
promoted
by
a
Genius
,
as
noble
as
generous
,
which
made
him
desirous
of
glory
,
and
ambitious
of
greatness
.
Prudence
was
still
his
companion
,
eloquence
and
sagacity
accompanying
his
discourses
,
vivacity
and
affability
his
treaties
,
and
resolution
,
and
courage
his
enterprizes
.
In
great
affairs
he
wanted
not
Providence
,
readinesse
,
and
Constancy
,
and
the
force
of
his
wit
,
and
strength
of
his
mind
,
was
still
most
resplendent
in
difficulties
;
he
nobly
contemning
the
Lawrells
,
and
Palms
,
which
were
not
augmented
by
labours
,
and
water'd
with
pains
.
Before
the
Battell
,
he
appear'd
not
so
terrible
,
and
dreadfull
,
as
gentle
,
mild
,
and
mercifull
,
when
he
had
obtain'd
the
victory
,
being
undaunted
in
dangers
,
vigilant
in
occasions
,
and
wife
in
each
affair
.
A
Prince
,
in
fine
of
great
understanding
,
and
knowledge
in
all
things
.
He
was
followed
with
a
greater
affection
,
and
applause
,
than
any
Commander
before
him
.
He
gave
satisfaction
to
all
,
with
his
praises
,
hopes
,
or
mildnesse
,
and
especially
his
sincerity
,
actions
of
vertue
being
written
by
him
with
indeleble
Characters
.
He
never
forgat
services
,
whether
little
,
or
great
,
but
rewarded
,
and
valu'd
them
.
He
was
very
wittie
in
his
sayings
,
and
most
affable
in
company
,
still
treating
,
and
speaking
to
all
without
pride
,
and
frequently
asking
when
he
pass'd
by
his
People
,
and
Souldiers
,
how
they
did
,
what
they
would
,
and
desired
.
To
his
Table
and
Court
,
while
he
was
in
the
field
,
he
admitted
all
Gentlemen
,
and
private
Commanders
,
he
usually
saying
,
a
table
is
the
torment
of
a
secret
,
and
a
net
to
catch
friendship
,
and
affection
.
He
could
not
abide
ceremonies
,
and
complements
affected
,
and
to
those
unacquainted
with
his
Genius
,
hee
said
,
or
caused
others
to
say
,
they
should
reserve
their
Courtship
for
the
Queens
minds
of
honour
,
for
he
was
in
the
field
,
to
teach
how
to
fight
,
and
not
to
lead
a
dance
.
He
was
most
severe
in
punishing
the
Souldiers
offences
,
and
exact
in
providing
for
the
peoples
security
.
He
,
like
a
true
souldier
,
to
give
an
essay
of
the
greatness
of
his
mind
,
undertook
not
any
enterprize
,
which
was
without
danger
,
he
that
exhorted
him
,
to
a
care
of
his
life
,
acquiring
his
displeasure
.
It
seem'd
to
him
undecent
,
for
a
Prince
of
a
warlike
constitution
,
to
have
the
thoughts
of
death
,
he
thinking
the
counsell
proceeded
from
fear
,
which
advis'd
him
to
take
heed
of
himself
.
He
called
him
happy
,
that
dy'd
in
his
trade
,
the
volunteer
death
taking
pay
under
him
,
that
feareth
him
not
.
His
designs
were
alwaies
great
,
but
greater
after
the
battell
of
Lipswick
,
he
aspiring
to
the
Empire
of
Germany
.
Even
the
Ottoman
power
began
to
reflect
on
the
fortune
and
valour
of
this
King
,
who
used
to
say
,
In
the
space
of
two
years
,
he
drew
to
his
party
,
either
by
the
force
of
arms
,
or
the
motives
of
his
power
and
reputation
,
of
Fortresses
,
Cities
,
and
wall'd
Town
,
to
the
number
of
a
hundred
and
ninety
.
He
won
many
battels
in
the
field
,
but
crown'd
with
that
of
Lipswick
,
Nothing
but
the
heresy
of
Luther
eclipsed
his
high
qualities
,
who
,
if
he
had
follow'd
the
steps
of
his
Ancestors
,
not
swerving
from
the
path
of
the
true
faith
,
would
have
been
the
Heroe
of
Kings
.
He
left
no
other
Progeny
,
Now
as
their
good
education
,
In
her
minority
,
five
Ministers
and
Officers
of
the
Crown
,
which
were
the
most
conspicuous
,
had
the
government
of
the
Kingdom
,
to
wit
,
Axellius
Oxestern
,
the
great
President
Gabriel
Oxestern
,
the
great
Constable
James
of
the
Garde
,
and
the
great
Treasurer
,
another
Gabriel
Oxestern
.
In
the
mean
time
,
to
her
other
applications
aforesaid
,
she
added
the
instructing
of
her self
,
in
the
knowledge
of
different
tongues
,
to
make
her self
the
fitter
,
and
more
capaple
,
for
the
management
of
the
Kingdom
,
This
Princesse
advancing
with
her
years
,
in
Vertues
and
Sciences
,
She
alwaies
made
use
of
knowing
and
able
persons
,
and
when
any
one
assum'd
to
himself
,
more
authority
,
than
was
fitting
;
she
found
out
a
way
to
moderate
his
animosity
.
She
alone
did
administer
all
the
publique
affairs
,
and
determin'd
them
with
much
ease
,
and
satisfaction
:
She
alone
would
treat
with
Ambassadours
,
and
the
Ministers
of
Princes
,
This
Queen
,
though
young
,
knew
at
the
same
time
,
how
to
make
her self
feared
,
and
belov'd
,
by
her
people
,
and
strangers
.
She
secretly
sounding
the
genius
,
and
thoughts
of
every
one
,
so
us'd
them
to
the
bridle
of
obedience
,
and
respect
,
that
she
saw
her
most
formidable
Commanders
,
though
accustom'd
at
the
head
of
their
Armies
,
On
the
other
side
,
with
the
nobleness
of
her
mind
,
she
still
so
oblig'd
them
,
with
offices
of
such
love
and
affability
,
that
she
animating
their
affections
,
encreas'd
still
towards
her self
their
respect
and
obedience
,
the
true
props
of
a
Kingdom
.
She
beheld
every
writing
presented
her
,
and
quickly
,
and
with
a
clear
voice
,
recited
it
in
it's
language
,
and
with
her
own
hand
wrote
usually
the
Orders
of
importance
,
being
as
shy
and
heedy
,
in
imparting
the
secrets
of
her
mind
,
as
curious
and
cunning
in
penetrating
those
of
others
.
She
generally
affected
all
Natitions
,
vertue
alone
being
only
the
object
of
her
love
.
She
sought
to
mend
the
bad
with
severity
,
and
make
the
good
better
with
favours
and
rewards
;
so
as
't
is
no
wonder
,
that
honour
,
and
the
rarest
conditions
that
sute
with
worthy
men
,
were
seen
to
flourish
more
in
her
Palace
,
than
in
any
other
Court
.
No
Prince
ever
favour'd
more
lovers
of
vertue
,
than
this
Queen
;
her
Majesty
taking
very
great
delight
,
to
discourse
with
knowing
Persons
,
and
endeavouring
to
have
near
her
,
the
learnedst
of
each
Nation
,
whom
she
highly
rewarded
.
She
had
her
maids
of
honour
in
the
Court
for
decorum
,
and
her
own
entertainment
;
but
they
never
withdrew
her
from
her
studies
,
and
exercises
of
vertue
.
No
extreamity
of
weather
,
nor
heat
of
the
Sun
,
nor
Snow
,
Wind
,
Tempests
,
and
Rains
,
nor
any
other
injuries
of
the
season
,
or
accidents
,
could
induce
her
to
that
care
of
her self
,
which
was
due
to
her
royal
condition
.
She
supposed
great
actions
walk'd
not
well
with
delights
,
and
the
Soul
had
no
greater
impediment
,
in
the
gaining
of
vertues
,
The
glorious
enterprizes
,
which
seconded
the
felicity
of
her
Majesties
invincible
arms
,
are
already
eternall
in
Histories
.
She
hath
made
renoun'd
and
famous
,
the
City
of
Stockholm
,
with
the
rule
of
her
directions
,
and
the
happy
remembrance
of
her
government
;
she
having
nothing
more
in
her
thoughts
,
than
the
causing
her
Kingdom
to
abound
with
arts
,
and
wealth
.
Her
Throne
was
the
Theater
of
Glory
,
and
Justice
;
no
Princess
being
ever
beheld
of
so
free
a
mind
,
and
a
courage
so
undaunted
.
But
she
thought
in
the
mean
time
,
of
her
great
retreat
towards
Heaven
,
that
she
might
not
repent
,
she
had
been
in
the
World
.
As
her
great
and
noble
parts
did
charm
the
hearts
of
all
,
that
treated
with
her
,
to
the
fame
of
them
flying
with
speed
,
to
the
most
remote
Nations
;
produc'd
soon
the
usuall
effects
of
curiosity
,
calling
many
of
the
curious
,
and
most
knowing
,
out
of
Italy
and
France
,
to
admire
her
.
'T
is
impossible
to
express
the
Civility
,
and
Courtesie
,
with
which
she
received
every
one
,
and
particularly
,
her
great
liberality
,
in
gratifying
,
caressing
,
and
rewarding
the
vertuous
.
All
the
Princes
in
Europe
amaz'd
at
her
famous
prerogatives
,
To
her
great
and
conspicuous
endowments
,
nothing
was
wanting
,
but
the
light
of
true
Religion
;
but
Heaven
not
suffering
so
beautifull
a
soul
,
and
so
good
a
mind
,
to
wander
in
the
darkness
of
falsehood
,
Divine
grace
awaken'd
her
searching
understanding
,
and
Heavenly
inspirations
began
to
alarum
in
her
mind
,
the
Survay
of
the
dissonancies
,
falshoods
,
and
untru●hs
,
of
the
Sect
she
profess'd
.
But
the
business
was
nice
,
and
she
thought
it
not
good
,
to
trust
her
motives
to
those
Ministers
credit
,
whose
knowledge
she
had
formerly
measur'd
,
with
more
accurateness
,
and
wariness
:
She
consider'd
with
her self
,
that
as
God
was
still
the
same
,
so
his
faith
was
the
same
,
and
the
foundation
of
all
truth
:
insomuch
,
that
with
reason
,
he
could
not
suffer
any
thing
to
be
alter'd
,
and
dissonant
in
the
knowledge
of
that
Individuum
,
which
should
be
only
one
,
and
still
uniform
to
it self
.
She
therefore
began
,
to
discover
the
weakness
of
the
reasons
,
which
Luther
,
and
others
sustain'd
their
new
opinions
,
and
fallacie
with
,
and
began
to
discern
that
the
sacred
Scripture
understood
,
and
respected
,
with
that
Purity
and
Candour
,
with
which
't
is
received
and
taught
in
the
Catholique
Church
;
furnisht
her
with
clearest
arguments
,
to
convince
their
untruths
.
She
perceiv'd
some
sacred
books
were
refus'd
by
the
followers
of
Luther
,
for
no
other
cause
,
but
their
own
meer
capticiousness
,
and
only
for
condemning
their
errours
.
That
of
those
they
retain
,
and
have
in
such
esteem
,
the
greatest
part
they
alter
,
adulterate
,
and
falsifie
,
and
so
variously
interpret
,
that
't
is
not
any
wonder
,
amongst
such
dissentions
&
confusions
,
resembling
so
many
Hydra's
head
,
innumerable
Sects
are
multiply'd
and
produc'd
;
yet
all
disagreeing
,
and
contrary
to
one
another
.
Nay
,
that
now
the
word
of
God
was
so
vilify'd
,
that
each
foolish
tradesman
,
or
ignorant
woman
,
durst
shamelesly
interpret
the
highest
mysteries
of
the
faith
,
which
hardly
the
most
knowing
,
and
most
sublime
wits
understand
.
That
the
Sects
did
encrease
,
or
decrease
,
as
assisted
,
and
fomented
here
on
earth
;
yet
faith
is
a
rare
gift
of
Heaven
,
insomuch
as
the
followers
of
novelties
,
having
nothing
of
assurance
;
nor
probably
the
true
sense
;
t
was
surer
to
rely
on
the
uniform
,
and
agreeing
interpretation
of
so
many
Saints
,
the
Catholique
Church
hath
had
in
all
ages
,
for
doctrine
and
integrity
of
life
,
so
renowned
and
eminent
.
'T
was
therefore
too
evident
a
madness
,
to
depart
from
their
common
consent
,
and
adhere
unto
those
,
who
,
without
the
reputation
of
goodness
,
and
vertue
,
have
for
their
own
passion
,
and
private
advantage
,
endeavoured
to
darken
the
world
,
to
confound
it
,
and
vizard
it
,
with
many
chimeras
,
and
malignities
.
Her
Majestie
observed
,
that
the
very
same
Nations
,
and
particularly
the
Septentrional
,
which
now
do
live
out
of
the
lap
of
the
Roman
Church
,
Besides
she
consider'd
,
the
very
same
Protestants
confess'd
,
the
Spaniards
,
the
French
,
and
Italians
were
of
a
more
elevated
spirit
,
and
more
compos'd
mind
;
of
more
profound
Knowledge
,
and
a
civiller
,
and
soberer
behaviour
,
than
all
other
people
of
the
world
;
and
that
amongst
these
of
the
Northern
Inhabitants
themselves
;
he
was
most
valued
,
that
was
best
acquainted
with
the
customs
,
and
dictates
of
the
Nations
aforesaid
,
insomuch
that
though
Arius
had
in
Spain
spread
the
poyson
of
his
heresie
;
and
France
had
both
open'd
her
bosom
,
and
arms
,
to
the
errours
of
the
neighbouring
Countries
;
yet
those
great
Kings
,
and
most
of
the
Nobility
,
without
ever
changing
their
opinions
,
among
,
so
many
accidents
,
had
continu'd
in
the
obedience
of
the
Catholique
Church
,
and
the
Vicar
of
Christ
,
which
afforded
a
strong
argument
,
for
the
goodness
and
truth
of
his
faith
.
But
,
the
consideration
of
the
qualities
,
of
the
Authors
of
heresies
,
made
a
very
strong
breach
in
this
Princesses
heart
;
her
Majestie
being
now
well
inform'd
,
that
interest
alone
,
and
the
pleasures
of
the
flesh
,
not
the
benefit
of
the
publique
,
nor
integrity
of
the
mind
,
were
the
Councellours
and
Promoters
of
these
novelties
.
She
examin'd
Martin
Luthers
condition●
,
Martin
Luther
.
and
the
other
opposers
of
the
Catholique
Church
,
and
found
they
were
men
of
an
ill
life
,
sensual
,
and
extreamly
ambitious
;
whereupon
like
seditious
persons
,
who
in
a
State-Government
,
do
cloak
their
pretences
with
the
zeal
of
the
publique
good
,
and
the
service
of
the
Prince
,
against
whom
they
fight
,
they
never
had
other
design
,
than
the
ruine
of
the
State
,
and
Monarchy
of
the
Church
,
in
revenge
of
the
wrong
,
they
pretended
to
receive
in
their
minds
;
in
that
the
Popes
of
Rome
comply'd
not
with
their
boundless
desires
;
so
as
she
foresaw
in
the
end
,
that
when
Luther
began
to
impugne
the
value
of
indulgences
,
by
depressing
the
authority
of
the
Pope
,
he
did
it
out
of
envy
and
anger
,
that
the
care
of
delivering
them
in
Sermons
,
was
committed
to
others
,
and
not
to
himself
,
as
he
had
desir'd
.
That
when
Purgatory
was
condemned
by
him
,
he
being
unwilling
to
admit
any
pain
did
remain
to
the
souls
,
which
dy'd
in
the
state
of
grace
;
't
was
meerly
his
invention
,
either
to
discredit
more
the
said
indulgences
,
or
let
loose
the
reins
to
sensuality
,
since
the
contumacy
is
the
greater
,
To
this
pious
Queen
,
the
resolution
of
Henry
the
eigth
King
of
England
,
seem'd
too
sacrilegious
and
wicked
;
who
withdrew
from
the
obedience
of
the
holy
Church
,
a
Catholique
,
and
well
compos'd
Kingdom
,
and
onely
for
the
pleasing
of
his
humours
,
and
abandoning
,
and
debasing
himself
in
the
loves
of
Anne
Bullen
.
With
these
speculations
,
and
the
guide
of
the
holy
Fathers
,
exactly
perpended
by
her
;
she
saw
a
great
light
before
her
eyes
,
whereupon
as
in
the
way
long
chosen
by
her
,
she
discover'd
great
stumblings
,
and
disturbances
;
so
among
these
new
lights
,
she
walking
in
the
best
,
and
readiest
paths
,
began
to
examine
particularly
the
substance
and
foundation
of
the
truest
religion
.
With
great
rewards
she
invited
to
her
,
the
famousest
men
in
the
Lutheran
profession
,
and
under
the
colour
of
learning
what
they
knew
,
extracted
with
admirable
dexterity
,
the
sum
of
their
belief
and
understanding
:
Truth
,
the
only
Catholique
,
Don
Joseph
Pinto
Parera
,
the
Portugall
Ambassadour
arrived
in
Swedland
,
making
his
entrance
into
Stockholm
about
the
end
of
July
,
with
whom
as
his
confessour
,
was
Father
Anthony
Macedo
a
Portugess
,
together
with
his
Companion
,
Father
John
Ardrada
,
both
Jesuits
.
The
Queen
inform'd
of
all
,
was
glad
of
that
encounter
,
by
her
so
desir'd
,
insomuch
as
concealing
in
her
mind
,
a
resolute
inclination
to
the
Catholique
faith
,
she
began
in
her
discourses
,
and
treaties
,
to
shew
some
esteem
and
affection
to
Father
Macedo
.
He
on
the
contrary
side
,
observing
the
Queen
,
when
she
spake
of
the
Pope
,
to
shew
much
respect
and
veneration
,
discover'd
,
her
Majestie
had
a
good
disposition
towards
Catholiques
,
and
therefore
with
dexterity
,
by
opening
,
and
enlarging
the
way
,
so
wrought
,
that
every
day
her
satisfaction
and
confidence
of
him
,
receiv'd
augmentation
.
When
the
Ambassy
was
finisht
,
Macedo
come
home
full
of
joy
,
and
consolation
,
and
beginning
to
consider
of
the
manner
,
how
to
execute
diligently
her
Majesties
desire
,
resolved
to
ask
leave
,
as
he
did
,
of
the
Ambassadour
,
to
go
see
,
for
his
own
curiosity
,
the
fair
and
great
City
of
Hamburg
,
but
could
not
obtain
it
;
so
as
he
return'd
to
the
Queen
,
and
told
her
of
the
difficulties
he
hid
met
with
.
Her
Majestie
hearing
him
of
a
setled
resolution
to
serve
her
,
reply'd
,
you
may
go
,
and
say
nothing
.
The
Father
inform'd
,
that
the
Vessell
,
Francis
Piccolomini
.
Father
Macedo
concluded
his
expressions
,
with
humbly
beseeching
her
,
to
consummate
her
holy
inspirations
,
to
which
she
reply'd
,
that
if
she
had
known
,
the
Roman
religion
,
had
been
best
,
she
would
have
embraced
it
,
and
that
he
should
cause
the
two
Fathers
,
she
desir'd
to
be
sent
,
with
whom
she
might
freely
discourse
,
and
without
all
suspition
,
having
nothing
else
to
say
,
but
entreat
him
again
,
to
be
secret
and
quick
.
The
Father
being
licenc'd
to
depart
,
went
out
of
the
gate
behind
the
Court
,
which
looks
towards
the
Sea
,
and
pass'd
in
a
Feluca
to
a
Rock
,
where
he
remained
that
night
,
since
he
could
not
reach
the
Vessell
by
day
.
The
day
after
he
arrived
at
Balem
,
whether
one
was
now
come
,
dispatcht
by
the
Queen
,
at
the
instance
of
the
foresaid
Ambassadour
,
to
arrest
him
,
and
carry
him
to
prison
;
but
as
he
had
secret
order
from
her
Majestie
,
to
let
him
escape
,
if
he
found
him
,
he
fain'd
he
could
not
find
him
,
and
took
horse
and
returned
to
Stockholm
,
and
the
Father
embarqued
himself
,
and
sayled
towa●ds
Lubeck
on
the
2d
.
of
September
,
where
twelve
daies
after
he
arriv'd
.
The
Ambassadour
soon
gave
out
,
the
Father
was
a
Knave
,
by
his
flying
away
in
that
manner
,
and
others
divulged
,
he
was
become
a
Lutheran
,
and
married
.
From
thence
he
arriving
in
Hamburg
,
steer'd
his
course
towards
Nurenberg
,
and
finally
having
run
many
dangers
,
came
to
Rome
on
the
18.
of
October
,
1651.
Father
Piccolomini
the
Generall
of
the
Society
,
dyed
a
little
before
,
so
as
he
delivered
the
letter
to
Father
Goswin
Nikel
,
who
was
then
Vicar-Generall
,
and
afterwards
Generall
;
a
man
of
great
parts
,
and
born
in
the
City
of
Cullen
.
Francis
Malines
,
Paul
Casate
of
Piacenza
,
a
professour
of
Mathematicks
in
'
the
Roman
Colledge
at
Rome
;
men
,
besides
integrity
of
life
,
of
most
exquisite
understanding
,
and
great
knowledge
,
that
as
persons
desirous
to
travell
,
and
see
the
world
,
they
might
without
delay
,
take
their
journey
for
Swedland
.
They
arrived
in
Venice
on
the
second
of
December
.
1651
,
the
one
comming
out
of
Piemont
,
and
the
other
from
Rome
.
On
the
twelfth
of
the
said
month
,
they
departed
,
and
prosecuted
their
journey
;
In
the
mean
time
,
Father
Godfrey
Franchenius
,
a
Jesuit
,
and
a
man
,
that
was
truly
Apostolicall
,
and
of
excellent
parts
,
was
brought
by
a
Tempest
from
Denmark
into
Swedland
,
who
had
frequently
treated
with
the
Queen
,
and
not
without
profit
,
but
not
being
able
to
stay
there
without
being
known
,
he
before
was
departed
,
and
gone
into
Flanders
.
These
two
Fathers
,
arriving
in
Stockholm
,
were
presently
conducted
to
the
Queen
,
There
's
no
doubt
,
but
she
would
very
gladly
have
resetled
in
Swedland
the
Catholique
faith
,
if
she
could
have
overcome
the
great
,
and
many
difficulties
,
that
lay
in
the
way
.
Too
evident
was
the
danger
of
spoyling
the
consort
of
her
resolutions
,
if
they
had
smelt
the
least
in
that
kind
.
Besides
too
,
the
uncertainty
of
the
end
,
much
time
was
required
,
and
hazard
of
her
conscience
,
in
which
she
was
impatient
to
continue
,
without
the
profession
of
the
Catholique
religion
,
and
she
could
by
no
means
profess
it
occultly
.
She
sent
then
the
Father
to
Rome
,
in
the
Month
of
May
of
the
year
aforesaid
,
but
omitted
at
that
time
,
to
make
any
motion
to
the
Pope
,
because
she
was
not
able
to
renounce
so
soon
her
Kingdom
,
and
in
the
mean
time
,
they
had
no
suspition
at
all
,
of
those
resolutions
,
with
which
Pope
Innocent
was
assistent
to
the
business
.
But
Father
Malines
remained
in
Swedland
,
well
treated
by
the
Queen
,
while
her
Majesty
disposed
,
and
so
ordered
her
affairs
,
that
by
the
States
of
Swedland
,
Charles
Prince
Palatine
(
deputed
before
to
the
Crown
after
her
)
was
after
her
renouncing
it
,
admitted
to
the
Kingdom
,
which
done
,
she
might
securely
depart
.
In
fine
,
when
she
was
to
discover
her
mind
,
and
compleat
her
resolutions
,
she
began
then
,
by
declaring
her
intentions
to
Monsieur
Bordolot
,
a
French
man
,
and
now
Abbot
of
Massay
,
her
trusty
Physitian
,
to
the
end
,
he
repayring
to
the
Court
of
France
,
and
making
no
mention
at
all
of
the
business
of
religion
,
might
onely
treat
there
,
if
,
after
her
renouncing
the
Kingdom
,
she
might
sojourn
in
France
,
as
likewise
she
had
thoughts
of
dispatching
Father
Malines
to
Rome
,
with
her
letters
to
the
Pope
.
Don
Antonio
Pimentel
is
in
Swedland
for
his
Catholique
Majesty
.
While
Bordolot
and
Malines
prepared
to
be
gone
,
the
Queen
having
made
a
discovery
of
the
exquisite
judgement
,
and
great
prudence
of
Don
Antonio
Pimentel
;
who
,
with
the
Title
of
Gentleman
,
sent
from
the
Catholique
King
,
to
complement
the
Queen
,
and
procure
between
their
Majesties
a
good
correspondence
,
had
been
some
Months
before
in
that
Court
,
where
he
had
with
his
rare
parts
,
purchas'd
very
great
credit
,
and
fame
,
resolv'd
to
trust
him
with
her
thoughts
,
and
make
use
of
his
assistance
and
counsell
,
in
a
business
of
that
consequence
.
This
Gentleman
heard
attentitively
the
Queen
,
and
was
as
much
comforted
,
as
astonisht
,
Don
Lewes
de
Aro
,
supposing
besides
,
besides
,
that
Don
Antonio
Pimentel
being
come
to
Madrid
,
whither
he
was
called
,
might
adde
credit
to
her
letters
,
and
solicit
the
effecting
their
Contents
.
And
as
the
greatest
thing
,
that
troubled
her
Majestie
,
consisted
in
secresy
,
to
remove
every
shadow
of
suspition
;
Don
Antonio
aforesaid
,
departed
from
Stockholm
in
the
following
August
,
and
embarquing
at
Gottembourg
,
advanced
not
far
,
when
the
Ship
,
that
sprang
a
leak
,
constrain'd
him
back
thither
;
while
the
Vessell
was
repairing
,
he
went
to
the
Court
,
which
then
was
removed
to
Vesten
,
where
he
received
order
from
Spain
,
to
stay
there
yet
a
while
.
The
Queen
hinder'd
by
that
accident
,
to
make
use
of
Pimentel
,
John
Baptist
Guemes
a
Dominican
,
who
was
in
Denmark
with
the
Earl
of
Rebogliedo
the
Spanish
Ambassadour
to
that
King
,
and
being
to
negotiate
some
business
appertaining
unto
the
said
Earl
,
in
the
Court
of
Madrid
,
was
to
have
,
and
expect
the
conveniency
of
embarquing
himself
with
Pimentel
,
to
which
end
,
in
the
month
of
July
,
1653
,
he
arrived
at
Gottembourg
;
but
the
Ship
,
as
aforesaid
,
coming
back
,
and
he
being
commanded
by
Pimentel
to
continue
with
him
;
went
thence
with
him
to
Vesten
.
The
Queen
knowing
,
he
was
a
man
of
great
prudence
,
and
other
rare
qualities
;
and
considering
she
could
give
no
suspition
by
his
going
into
Spain
,
since
they
knew
long
before
,
he
went
for
the
affairs
of
Rebogliedo
,
she
lost
not
the
conjuncture
of
making
use
of
him
;
for
the
treating
of
that
in
Madrid
,
which
she
had
design'd
should
be
done
by
Pimentel
.
Father
Guemes
departed
with
her
Majesties
dispatches
,
and
Pimentel's
,
on
the
ninth
of
October
,
and
after
many
troubles
,
and
impediments
,
arriving
in
the
Catholique
Court
,
in
the
month
of
March
,
1654
,
very
earnestly
sollicited
there
,
the
Kings
letters
to
the
Pope
,
to
accompany
the
Queens
,
and
so
honourably
,
&
so
faithfully
proceeded
in
this
business
of
consequence
,
that
her
Majestie
afterwards
declaring
,
she
was
infinitely
satisfied
;
was
most
confident
of
him
,
by
making
him
her
Confessour
,
and
using
him
in
her
hardest
,
and
most
scrupulous
resolutions
.
Though
not
onely
by
the
mouths
of
the
foresaid
two
Fathers
Malines
,
and
Casati
,
together
with
the
Dominican
,
After
the
peace
of
Germany
,
the
States
of
Swedland
,
having
soon
bent
their
thoughts
for
the
settlement
of
the
Kingdom
;
had
likewise
found
it
necessary
to
provide
,
that
the
Masculine
succession
fayling
in
the
blood
Royall
,
some
one
might
ascend
the
Throne
quietly
and
peaceably
,
and
the
rather
,
since
the
recalling
the
suffrages
of
the
ancient
elections
,
did
not
seem
good
to
them
,
they
knowing
by
experience
,
that
kind
of
dominion
,
as
not
very
durable
,
and
unsafe
,
had
often
been
replenisht
with
tumults
and
calamities
;
whereupon
they
unanimously
agreed
,
that
her
Majesty
pleasing
her self
with
a
husband
,
that
was
not
of
a
different
religion
,
nor
suspected
by
the
States
,
should
establish
in
her
Progeny
the
security
of
succession
.
The
Queen
,
who
in
her
mind
had
greater
designs
,
making
use
of
the
pretence
of
being
unwilling
by
marriage
,
to
subject
her
own
liberty
to
any
,
declar'd
,
that
as
she
had
been
born
free
,
The
States
seeing
her
firm
in
resolving
not
to
marry
;
pretended
at
least
to
appoint
her
a
Successour
,
to
the
end
,
that
she
fayling
,
there
might
be
no
difficulty
in
a
new
Kings
election
.
And
because
whatsoever
we
can
most
of
all
wish
for
in
a
Prince
,
consists
in
his
valour
,
his
prudence
,
and
goodness
,
in
the
meeting
of
all
the
four
Orders
of
the
Kingdom
,
the
qualities
and
parts
of
the
most
conspicuous
personage
being
maturely
examin'd
,
all
gave
their
votes
and
applauses
,
to
the
foresaid
Prince
Charles
Gustavus
,
Palalatine
,
as
one
,
who
descending
by
Birth
from
Emperours
and
Kings
,
and
having
till
that
time
commanded
the
Swedish
Amies
,
had
given
in
all
occasions
great
experiments
of
his
valour
and
prudence
.
Besides
he
being
passionately
belov'd
by
the
people
and
souldiers
;
could
desire
no
clearer
arguments
of
his
merit
,
Charles
Gstavus
Palatine
is
declared
,
and
substituted
in
the
Kingdom
after
the
death
of
the
Queen
.
for
his
exaltation
to
the
Crown
,
establisht
in
his
Person
,
by
his
substitution
in
the
Kingdom
,
if
Christina
should
fail
.
Some
Polititians
divulged
(
to
meddle
in
their
discourses
with
so
great
an
affair
)
the
Queen
was
not
pleased
,
the
gate
of
dominion
should
be
opend
to
this
Princes
desire
,
since
this
being
the
most
sensible
of
humane
affections
,
and
that
which
soonest
toucheth
the
quick
,
they
might
see
again
acted
on
the
Stage
,
the
offences
of
those
times
,
in
which
many
men
,
thinking
nothing
to
be
villanous
,
and
wicked
;
have
trampled
under
foot
,
to
compasse
soon
their
ends
,
all
respects
,
obligations
,
honour
and
conscience
.
But
the
said
Polititians
have
fail'd
in
the
conceit
,
which
perhaps
they
imagin'd
their
discourses
would
have
rais'd
,
while
that
they
measur'd
her
Majesties
thoughts
,
and
resolutions
,
with
their
own
ordinary
rule
of
the
interest
of
State
.
The
Queen's
designs
had
solider
motives
,
and
deeper
foundations
.
She
sought
to
gain
a
Kingdom
,
where
Angells
inhabit
,
and
therefore
lost
that
willingly
where
men
have
their
residence
.
This
her
Majesties
resolution
discovered
to
some
she
most
trusted
,
it
seem'd
strange
to
them
,
she
would
abandon
voluntarily
the
dominion
of
a
Kingdom
,
than
which
there
is
not
any
thing
more
desired
on
the
earth
:
&
as
in
the
change
of
a
Prince
,
both
the
Cities
,
and
Inhabitants
,
are
oftentimes
subject
to
hurtfull
alterations
,
so
with
the
apprehension
of
future
events
,
and
the
want
of
the
happinesse
they
enjoy'd
,
To
convince
her
understanding
,
and
divert
her
from
so
great
a
resolution
,
many
of
the
knowing'st
and
zealousest
Ministers
,
whom
her
Majestie
did
the
honour
,
to
trust
with
her
design
of
renouncing
her
Kingdom
,
but
not
with
her
change
of
religion
,
advanced
so
far
,
to
presage
unto
her
unlucky
events
,
but
nothing
could
retain
her
in
her
motion
,
which
she
urged
with
all
speed
.
Now
all
things
appertaining
to
that
renunciation
were
in
readiness
;
and
nothing
was
wanting
,
but
to
solemnize
it
,
She
therefore
came
out
of
her
lodgings
that
day
,
about
nine
of
the
clock
in
the
morning
,
and
appear'd
in
the
great
open
gallery
of
the
Court
,
accompany'd
by
the
Senate
,
and
the
Grandees
of
the
Palace
.
She
wore
a
stately
robe
embroyder'd
with
Crowns
of
gold
,
and
with
a
comly
gravity
walking
up
and
down
among
a
great
company
of
Gentlemen
,
and
other
,
who
out
of
curiosity
,
came
to
see
so
renown'd
,
and
unusuall
a
function
,
Zchering
Rosem●hain
a
Senatour
of
the
Kingdom
,
read
with
a
loud
voice
the
instrument
of
donation
,
which
her
Majestie
made
to
the
said
Prince
Charles
Gustavus
Palatine
,
and
a
Patent
;
in
which
the
new
King
engag'd
to
the
said
Queen
,
three
Islands
,
and
diverse
revenues
issuing
out
of
Pomerania
,
with
other
,
regalities
,
to
the
yearly
value
of
two
hundred
thousand
crowns
.
Her
Majestie
accepting
the
writings
,
rose
up
,
and
taking
the
Crown
from
her
head
,
deliver'd
it
to
the
Earl
,
Peter
Bracch
great
Praefect
,
and
principall
Senatour
of
the
Kingdom
.
The
Scepter
,
Sword
,
Globe
of
gold
,
and
a
Key
,
she
consign'd
to
four
great
Personages
,
and
Ministers
of
the
Kingdom
:
to
wit
,
to
Count
Gustavus
Horn
Generall
of
the
Militia
,
to
Count
Gabriel
Oxerstern
,
to
Count
Oxerstern
great
Chancellour
,
and
Count
Magnus
Gabriel
de
la
Gardie
great
Treasurer
.
The
Queen
had
nothing
left
to
put
off
,
but
the
royall
Robe
,
and
she
seeing
that
those
,
to
whom
it
belonged
,
deferr'd
to
unty
it
,
unty'd
it
her self
,
and
in
throwing
it
down
,
sported
with
her
maids
of
Honour
,
and
was
pleasant
with
them
,
while
there
was
not
any
one
,
in
so
great
a
number
of
persons
,
After
this
,
with
a
long
and
most
prudent
discourse
,
In
these
solemnities
,
severall
sorts
of
money
,
of
gold
and
silver
,
●ere
scatter'd
up
and
down
,
as
well
by
the
Queen
,
as
the
King
.
Those
by
the
King
had
his
Picture
on
the
one
side
,
and
the
words
Carolus
Gustavus
,
and
on
the
other
,
a
regal-Crown
,
with
these
words
,
a
Deo
&
Christina
.
Those
by
the
Queen
had
her
Picture
on
the
one
side
,
and
on
the
other
a
Crown
,
with
these
words
,
Et
sine
Te.
The
day
after
the
usuall
Oath
of
loyalty
being
perform'd
to
the
King
by
the
States
,
the
Queen
visited
,
and
honour'd
by
all
;
She
had
made
them
believe
,
With
this
report
she
departed
from
Stockholm
,
three
hours
after
the
setting
of
the
Sun
.
She
would
depart
by
night
,
not
to
see
their
affections
,
and
tears
,
who
apprehended
the
want
of
so
great
a
Queen
,
and
so
good
a
Mother
.
Yet
from
the
royall
Palace
to
the
gate
of
the
City
,
The
King
had
sent
the
greatest
part
of
the
Court
to
accompany
,
and
attend
her
;
among
whom
were
the
Lord
Charles
Soop
,
a
person
of
great
quality
,
with
the
charge
of
high
Steward
,
the
Lord
Tersen
Gentleman
of
the
Chamber
,
and
of
much
desert
and
vertue
with
six
other
Gentlemen
of
his
Majestie
,
all
of
noble
families
and
merit
;
the
Lord
Vlifeldt
great
Master
of
Denmark
,
retyr'd
long
since
into
Swedland
,
under
his
Majesties
protection
,
the
Senatours
Earl
Todt
,
and
Baron
Lind
,
with
Eal
Donoau
,
Lievetenant
Colonell
,
all
three
personages
of
high
worth
,
and
eminent
parts
,
with
severall
others
.
In
her
going
out
of
the
City
,
she
was
saluted
with
the
Artillery
from
the
walls
,
and
the
ships
,
and
as
she
past
along
,
the
Governours
of
Forts
,
and
Provinces
waited
on
her
with
their
Souldiers
.
Mary
Eleanora
her
Mother
,
a
Princesse
of
most
admirable
qualities
,
where
she
onely
stay'd
so
long
to
embrace
her
,
and
give
her
the
last
farewell
,
The
same
night
,
without
taking
any
other
repose
,
she
continu'd
her
journey
towards
Norkopin
,
a
City
,
and
Port
of
the
Sea
,
eight
leagues
distant
from
Nicopin
,
which
was
one
of
the
Forts
,
her
Majestie
had
reserved
to
her self
;
Here
she
stay'd
a
day
to
repose
,
she
having
not
yet
slept
since
her
departure
from
Stockholm
.
The
next
day
she
went
to
Linkopin
,
five
leagues
farther
,
where
she
stayed
a
day
;
and
from
thence
to
Junkopin
,
a
fortresse
fourteen
leagues
off
,
where
she
rested
that
night
.
The
day
following
she
advanced
to
a
house
,
of
a
Swedish
Gentleman
,
call'd
Giornornotte
,
eight
leagues
off
,
and
here
taken
with
a
Plurisy
,
This
City
is
indifferently
handsome
,
encompast
with
strong
walls
,
and
from
the
said
house
some
fifteen
leagues
distant
.
Arriving
at
Laolin
,
a
Castle
in
the
said
Province
,
five
miles
from
Almstat
,
she
caus'd
the
same
night
her
hair
to
be
cut
,
Federichbaug
,
,
seated
in
a
very
fine
prospect
,
three
leagues
onely
distant
from
Helsenor
;
which
,
as
the
place
of
the
delights
of
the
Kings
of
Denmark
,
was
sumptuously
adorned
.
She
came
at
three
hours
in
the
night
to
Rotschilt
a
little
City
seated
on
the
side
of
a
Lake
,
and
from
thence
went
to
Korsor
a
Port
on
the
Baltique
Sea
,
and
the
same
night
pass'd
the
Bect
,
a
branch
of
the
Sea
about
four
leagues
broad
,
which
divides
the
Province
of
Zeland
from
Funen
,
which
belong
all
to
Denmark
.
On
the
9th
of
July
at
the
rising
of
the
Sun
,
she
arrived
at
Nibork
,
which
was
o're
against
Korsor
,
a
Port
of
the
Sea
.
Here
she
entertained
her self
,
till
the
Waggons
were
prepared
for
travailing
,
which
are
all
cover'd
,
and
very

,
which
serves
for
a
Haven
,
though
it
be
between
the
land
,
where
the
King
uses
somtimes
to
sojourn
;
she
arrived
at
Hadversleve
a
little
place
,
and
encompast
with
old
walls
.
She
continu'd
thence
her
journey
,
and
the

not
chose

be
glad

very
valiantly
defended

With

conduct
,
than
good
fortune
appear'd
,
the
circumvallation
being
broken
,
and
gain'd
,
which
by
all
was
thought
impenetrable

of
the

Mazarine
,
not
so
much
in
regard
of
his
merits
,
though
he
was
much
esteemed
in
France
,
as
in
token
of
the
said
Cardinalls
gratitude
,
who
in
his
retreat
out
of
France
into
Germany
,
was
honourably
treated
in
the
Spanish
Dominions
.
The
care
of
accompanying
him
,
was
committed
to
Mounsieur
De
Touchanpre
,
The
said
Pimentel
,
embarquing
at
Biscaglia
,
arriv'd
at
Mardick
on
the
twenty
ninth
of
October
,
and
from
thence
went
towards
Antwerp
,
whither
he
came
on
the
fourth
of
December
.
He
went
to
his
first
audience
with
a
most
noble
traine
,
being
a
Gentleman
very
splendid
and
generous
,
and
naturally
affable
and
courteous
.
Here
the
Queen
stay'd
▪
till
all
things
were
prepar'd
for
her
reception
in
Bruxells
,
which
was
to
be
sumptuous
,
according
to
the
orders
the
Catholique
King
had
given
expressly
unto
the
Arch-Duke
,
and
the
rest
of
his
minsters
,
who
fayl'd
not
of
punctually
fulfilling
the
generous
minde
of
his
Majestie
.
While
the
Queen
remained
in
Antwerp
,
Earle
Todt
pass'd
by
there
,
sent
by
the
King
of
Swedland
to
the
Court
of
France
,
who
by
order
of
his
King
,
was
to
complement
her
Majestie
,
which
he
did
with
expressions
,
corresponding
with
the
gratitude
,
that
was
due
from
his
master
,
for
so
great
,
and
extraordinary
a
benefit
.
In
the
meane
time
Count
Pontus
Della
Garda
arriv'd
too
from
Paris
in
Antwerp
,
and
going
to
wait
on
her

who
resident

she
remanded

Shemberg
,
to
return
the
Kings

,
and
come

about
the
lands
appointed
for
her
maintenance
.
When
all
things
in
fine
were
in
readiness
for
her
Majesties
reception
in
Bruxells
on
the
13.
of
December
,
Her

Pages

Being
come
half
way
she
was
welcom'd
by
all
the
Canons
and
Musketts
in
Wi●brouch
,
a
Castle
indifferently
strong
,
seated
on
the
Channell
that
runs
to
Bruxells
,
where
the
Arch-Duke
met
her
,
who
came
with
his
Guards
,
and
a
Noble
and
numerous
attendance
,
as
well
of
his
Court
,
as
the
principall
Gentlemen
of
the
Countrey
.
He
represented
to
her
Majestie
,
with
much
Courtesie
and
respect
,
the
great
satisfaction
he
receiv'd
for
her
arrivall
,
conducting
her
into
a
house
,
where
a
very
sumptuous
dinner
was
provided
,
and
they
sate
down
to
the
Table
,
the
Queen
at
the
upper
end
under
a
cloth
of
state
,
the
Arch-Duke
on
her
right
hand
;
a
little
below
on
the
other
side
of
the
Table
,
but
under
the
same
Cloth
of
state
,
the
Marquest
Mattei
being
her
Cup-bearer
,
and
the
Marquess
of
Beralau
a
Flemming

.
Some
two
hours
after
her
Majestie
continu'd
her
journey
,
on
the
Channell
towardes
Bruxells
in
a
Bucentoro
most
richly
adorn'd
,
and
guilded
within
and
without
,
which
carry'd
twelve
peices
of
Canon
,
and
was
drawn
by
twelve
horses
,
of
which
was
the
Captaine
the
Admirall
of
Antwerp
.
In
this
ship
there
went
none
but
the
Queen
,
the
Arch-Duke
,
and
the
cheife
of
their
Courts
,
the
remainder
being
carry'd
in
o●her
Barques
,
which
staying
now
and
then
in
the
sluces
,
which
keep
up
the
water
,
did
satisfie
in
part
the
Curiosity
of
the
people
,
which
flockt
in
h●ge
throngs
for
beholding
this
Princess
,
all
the
bankes
of
the
Channell
,
all
the
houses
and
the
neighbouring
fields
abounding
with
Persons
of
all
kinds
.
From
Wilbrouch
they
advancing
to
the
bridge
called
Lac
,
which
was
a
league
forward
,
here
the
City
of
Bruxells
began
to
appear
in
a
very
fine
prospect
,
for
the
Countrey
being
open
,
they
so
freely
saw
the
Towers
,
that
the
aire
now
being
dusky
by
the
absence
of
the
Sun
,
and
they
full
of
great
lights
,
it
seem'd
a
new
Sun
was
risen
again
in
the
night
,
and
really
the
light
was
so
great
,
which
with
artificiall
mixtures
,
illuminated
all
the
barks
of
the
Channell
,
that
they
saw
as
in
the
day
.
All
along
the
said
banks
stood
the
Souldiers
in
armes
,
who
now
&
anon
,
with
reiterated
volleys
saluted
her
Majestie
.
Being
come
near
the
City
,
about
three
hours
in
the
Night
,
all
the
Canon
,
Mortarpeices
and
Muskets
,
saluted
her
Majestie
with
a
tuneable
noyse
;
and
when
she
arriv'd
at
the
gate
,
Her
Majestie
being
enter'd
her
Coach
,
took
in
the
Arch-Duke
,
All
the
City
contributed
to
her
happy
arrivall
,
with
the
sensiblest
expressions
,
a
reall
and
reverent
heart
is
capable
of
;
with
Bonefires
,
discharging
of
Canons
,
Mortarpeices
,
and
ringing
of
the
Bells
,
which
being
in
that
Countrey
well
tun'd
,
use
to
make
a
gratefull
harmony
.
Her
Majestie
lighting
at
the
Palace
,
the
Arch-Duke
accompany'd
her
,
to
the
lodgings
assign'd
her
,
which
she
found
hung
with
the
most
excellent
,
and
pretiousest
Tapestries
,
that
are
made
in
that
Countrey
.
And
because
't
was
somewhat
late
,
the
Arch-Duke
soon
dismissed
himself
,
leaving
her
to
her
repose
;
and
so
they
all
did
.
The
rest
of
the
night
,
and
the
two
other
following
,
many
Bonefires
were
made
,
with
discharging
of
the
Ordinance
,
and
ringing
of
the
Bells
.
The
same
Evening
the
Prince
of
Conde
,
Francis
Duke
of
Lorraine
,
and
the
greatest
of
the
Court
came
to
waite
uppon
her
privately
,
and
because
,
t
was
Christmas
Eve
,
they
suspended
other
Ceremonies
,
to
give
no
disturbance
to
devotion
.
Don
Agostino
Boreno
Navarra
,
the
Secretary
of
State
,
made
secretly
profession
of
the
Roman
Catholick
Faith
,
before
Father
Guemes
a
Dominican
.
This
Religious
man
came
from
Spain
into
Flanders
,
with
the
Ambassadour
Pimentel
in
the
quality
of
his
Secretary
,
and
as
he
before
had
been
privy
to
the
businesse
,
so
was
chosen
for
this
function
,
to
keep
it
the
more
secret
,
since
occasion
so
requir'd
.
In
the
foresaid
action
a
thing
of
some
reflection
succeeded
which
was
,
as
the
Queen
had
made
an
end
of
professing
her
Faith
,
while
Father
Guemes
said
the
word
,
I
absolve
,
&c.
all
the
Ordinance
of
the
City
were
discharg'd
,
to
the
wonder
of
all
that
assisted
at
the
Function
,
without
notice
given
to
the
Magistrates
,
who
onely
had
order
,
to
have
them
shot
off
indeterminately
neare
the
time
.
On
Christmas
day
the
Queen
accompany'd
by
the
Arch-Duke
,
and
all
the
Grandees
of
the
Court
went
to
the
Chapell
,
where
there
was
most
rare
Musick
,
and
an
excellent
Sermon
.
Her
Majestie
past
afterwards
into
a
great
hall
,
where
she
dined
in
Publick
,
together
with
the
Arch-Duke
,
where
the
order
held
at
Wilbrouch
was
observed
in
sitting
.
The
Earle
of
Castelmendo
a
Portugese
,
and
Gentleman
of
the
Chamber
to
his
imperiall
Highnesse
,
was
Cup-bearer
to
the
Queen
,
and
Count
Atemis
a
Dutchman
Sewer
.
The
ambassadour
Pimentel
,
&
the
Grandees
of
Spain
assisted
standing
at
the
Table
,
but
with
their
hats
on
.
All
the
rest
,
which
were
many
,
and
the
chief
of
the
City
,
stood
uncover'd
.
That
evening
an
extraordinary
fire-worke
being
to
play
,
On
the
Tenth
of
February
she
went
from
the
Arch-Dukes
Palace
,
to
lodge
in
the
Duke
of
Egmonts
,
at
her
Majesties
own
charge
,
where
she
was
some
time
employ'd
in
receiving
the
visits
,
not
onely
of
the
Princes
,
Princesses
,
Ladies
and
Gentlemen
,
but
of
many
learned
Persons
,
which
came
from
all
parts
,
either
as
lines
to
the
centre
,
or
as
rivers
to
the
Sea
.
Here
her
Majestie
twice
a
week
used
some
vertuous
exercises
,
for
the
entertainment
of
her
noble
and
elevated
mind
,
which
she
did
continue
till
the
death
of
Queen
Mary
Eleonora
her
Mother
,
At
this
sorrowfull
advice
she
quickly
retir'd
to
a
house
without
Bruxells
call'd
Tervoren
,
and
remain'd
there
three
weeks
,
to
divert
her
afflictions
,
returning
thence
afterwards
to
the
City
,
where
all
did
condole
with
her
Majestie
;
she
likewise
put
on
Mourning
in
her
mind
,
depriving
it
of
all
recreation
and
Passetime
.
Now
Father
Malines
was
return'd
from
Spain
to
Rome
,
with
the
Letters
of
the
Catholick
King
,
to
Pope
Innocent
;
to
accompany
the
Queens
,
but
it
being
thought
afterwards
,
the
conjunctures
then
were
not
altogether
proportionable
to
the
quality
,
and
convenience
of
so
weighty
and
important
a
businesse
,
they
deferr'd
the
presenting
them
;
for
the
reasons
we
shall
register
more
diffusely
in
its
place
in
the
universall
History
.
Things
pass'd
in
this
manner
for
some
months
,
the
Queen
entertaining
still
her self
in
Flanders
;
in
the
mean
time
Innocent
the
tenth
,
having
reigned
ten
years
,
three
months
and
twenty
two
daies
,
gave
up
his
soul
to
God
in
the
age
of
eighty
and
one
year
,
on
the
7.
of
January
1655.
Papaly
Cardina●l
Fabius
Chigi
of
Sienna
,
who
with
the
name
he
took
,
renew'd
the
immortall
,
and
still
more
happy
memory
of
Pope
Alexander
the
third
his
Countreyman
and
Kinsman
.
I
cannot
expresse
the
joy
,
The
Queen
was
glad
of
this
so
happy
newes
,
justly
hoping
to
find
in
the
new
shepheard
of
Christs
flock
,
that
charity
and
resolution
,
her
necessities
could
promise
themselves
,
from
a
heart
remov'd
from
all
private
interest
,
and
wholly
intent
to
the
honour
alone
of
God
,
the
exaltatation
of
his
Church
,
and
the
happinesse
,
security
and
repose
of
all
Christendome
.
All
things
were
easily
reconcil'd
,
and
in
the
mean
time
,
fresh
Letters
came
likewise
out
of
Spain
from
that
King
to

who

On

After

she
departed
from

,
and
went
and
lay
that

,
some
four

farther
,
Departing
from
thence
on
the
first
of
October
,
the
Abbot
accompanied
her
to
the
confines
with
two
companies
of
foot
,
and
as
well
at
her
departure
,
as
arrival
,
all
the
Canon
,
in
the
fortresse
saluted
her
.
That
night
,
4
leagues
off
,
she
lay
in
a
poor
village
called
Virembous
,
where
all
her
attendance
endured
as
much
as
they
had
been
feasted
the

dayes
.
From
Virembous
she
went
,
and

,
was
surprized
with
a
little
feaver
,
which
made
her
stay
there
the
remainder
of

day
,
and
the

on
the
fourth
in
the
evening
at
Lembourgh
,
a
little
walled
town
of
the
Elector
of
Triers
,
in
a
manner
wholly
ruined
by
the
former
wars
,
as
all
the
rest
were
in
the
country
thereabouts
,
in
having
been
more
than
any
other
infested
by
souldiers
,
now
of
this
,
now
that
party
,
or
perhaps
for
its
unfortunate
scituation
,
or
because
peradventure
that
territory
is
one
of
the
fruitfulest
and
pleasantest
of
Germany
,
the
fields
,
and
the
hills
abounding
with
fruit
,
and
the
plains
watered
every
where
with
great
quantity
of
brooks
.
She
breakfasted
in
Lambourg
,
and
when
she
was

,
a
little
City

a
very
strong
Castle
,
belonging

a

before
the
setting
of
the
sun
,
being
received
with
discharging
all
the
Ordinance
,
and
invited
by
the
Governour
,
who
complemented
her
Majestie
in
the
name
of
the
Elector
his
Master
,
but
her
Majestie
refusing
his
offer
,
would
needs
lodge
in
the
Inne
,
and
defray
too
her selfe
,
staying
there
all
the
sixth
of
Oct●ber
.
The
Resident
of
Charles
the
second
King
of

,
With

the
Duke
of
Glocester
his
Brother

full
of

,
together
with
other
Gentlemen
who
waited
on
the
Queen
,
and
were
received
by
her
with
great
demonstrations
of
esteem
&
affection
.
Her

met
the

on
the
top
of
the
staires
,
accompanying
him
from

.
Being
come
into
the
chamber
,
they
sate
down
,
and
't
was
observed
,
the
King
being
covered
at
first
,
took
off
his
hat
presently
after
,
and
alwayes
stood
bare
,
shewing
very
much
respect
,
who
taking
his
leave
the
same
day
,
returned
thence
to
Franckfort
.
Prince
Robert
the
said
Electors
brother
came
afterwards
,
The
day
after
on
the
seventh
of
October
she
passed
through
the
City
of
Franckfort
,
three
leagues
onely
distant
from
Koningstien
,
and
without
making
any
stay
there
,
went
and
lay
three
leagues
farther
,
at
a
little
walled
Town
called
Steinhain
,
where
her

,
and

Here

Coronel
of
a
Regiment
to
the
foresaid
Elector
,
arrived
,
to
invite
her
Majesty
into
Asschaffemburg
.
The
Queen
would
perhaps
have
been
willing
to
have
staid
a
little
while
in
Franckfort
,
a
free
City
,
great
and
renowned
.
seated
on
the
banks

,
and
among

things
,
very
full
of
copious
Libraries
,
and
abounding
with
the
curiousest
volumes
,
that
have
been
yet
printed
,
but
she
thought
it
better
to
continue
her
journey
,
as
she
did
,
to
avoid
incommoding
that
Senate
,
with
those
entertainments
,
with
which
more
than
others
,
they
would
have
endeavoured
to
manifest
their
gratitude
towards
the
glorious
name
of
King
Gustavus
Adolphus
,
her
Majesties
Father
,
who
was
the
particular
Protector
of
that
City
,
and
who
,
entering
there
with
his
Army
,
preserved
it
from
the
anger
and
severity
,
with
which
it
was
threatned
by
the
Imperial
troups
.
She
therefore
was
saluted
by
all
the

the

acclamations
,

in
extraordinary
throngs

And

them
,
with
all
the
most
affectionate
expressions
of
a
reverend
obsequiousness
to
the
holy
Sea
,
&
particular
respect
.
On
the
30
th
.
in
the
evening
,
my
Lord
Holstenius
having
preunderstood
,
that
the
Baron
Ghirargi
,
cheif
Counseller
and
minister
to
his
Highness
,
had
thoughts
of
conferring
with
her
,
On
the
first
of
November
divine
Office
was
celebrated
in
the
Arch-Dukes
church
by
a
mitered
Abbot
,
where
their
Highnesses
were
present
,
together
with
all
the
Court
,
and
excellent
musick
was
sweetly
accompanied
with
so
tunable
a
consort
and
harmony
of
trumpets
,
tabours
and
drums
,
that
as
a
new
thing
,
and
unheard
of
before
,
it
pleased
their
curiosity
extreamly
,
The
Queen
was
to
hear
it
at
an
open
&
publique
window
,
and
was
very
well
satisfied
and
delighted
.
After
dinner
Holstenius
went
to
visit
Don
Antony
Pimentel
Ambassadour
of
Spain
and
discours'd
long
with
him
on
the
points
of
his
Commission
.
My
Lord
Holstenius
was
cloath'd
then
in
black
,
&
down
to
his
heeles
,
to
distinguish
this
visit
from
that
to
the
Arch-Dukes
,
which
he
made
to
them
cloathed
in
purple
,
so
as
he
desired
the
conveniency
of
a
quarter
of
an
hour
,
to
go
back
to
his
lodging
,
and
change
,
as
he
did
,
his
cloathes
:
So
quickly
returning
,
My
Lord
Holstenius
spake
to
her
in
order
to
his
instructions
,
and
when
she
had
replyed
to
the
congratulation
,
and
expression
of
his
Holinesses
fatherly
affection
,
she
said
,
about
the
principal
businesse
of
her
profession
,
the
Embassadour
without
doubt
had
assured
him
before
of
her
readinesse
to
do
all
things
,
which
by
order
of
his
Holinesse
,
were
commanded
him
,
and
seeming
impatient
to
performe
them
out
of
hand
,
she
resolved
of
her selfe
,
the
said
function
should
be
on
the
following
Wednesday
the
third
of
November
.
When
her
Majesty
had
answered
to
the
heads
proposed
to
her
by

,

presented
her
his

and
sumptuousnesse
.
The
Queen
sate
alone
at
the
upper
end
of
the
Table
under
a
cloath
of
Stare
,
with
a
very
great
carpet
on
the
ground
.
The
Arch-Dukes
were
on
her
right
side
,
a
little
way
off
from
her
Majesty
,
but
under
the
same
Canopy
,
George
Olstein
gave
the
water
for
her
Majesties
hands
,
and
the
Arch-Duke
himself
presented
her
the
Napkin
,
taking
it
from
the
Lord
W●itkunight
chief
Gentleman
of
his
chamber
.
Baron
Sig●smond
of
Welsberg
,
G●ntleman
of
the
Chamber
to
his
Highness
,
was
her
Cupbearer
,
and
the
Baron
of
Stakel-bourg
,
likewise
Gentleman
of
his
chamber
,
was
Sewer
.
Her
Majesty
accompanied
by
their
Highnesses
,
D'
Ambre
without
Inspruch
,
where
she
saw
with
much
delight
,
a
great
quantity
of
ancient
medalls
of
gold
and
silver
,
together
with
other
metalls
,
collected
long
since
by
Arch-Duke
Ferdinand
,
as
likewise
many
very
ancient
manuscripts
,
and
other
fine
curiosities
conserved
in
that
place
.
In
the
mean
time
my
Lord
Holstenius
attended
to
the
ordering
of
the
necessary
things
,
for
the
function
of
the
following
day
,
He
instructed
the
Notary
,
the
Master
of
the
ceremonies
,
the
Priests
,
and
other
Clerks
,
which
were
to
be
assistent
,
as
well
at
the
act
of
Profession
,
as
at
the
solemne
Masse
,
Holstenius
was
to
sing
,
to
the
end
that
each
doing
his
part
,
the
function
might
go
on
with
order
,
quietness
,
and
decorum
,
as
it
happily
succeeded
.
The
Queen
cloathed
in
a
gown
of
black
silk
,
very
plain
,
and
without
any
ornament
but
a
crosse
of
five
faire
and
rich
diamonds
at
her
breast
,
lead
by
the
Arch-Duke
,
was
met
at
the
gate
of
the
Church
with
a
solemne
Procession
of
all
the
Priests
,
and
Clerks
of
the
Court
,
and
by
the
two
Benedictin
Abbots
of
that
Province
,
the
one
of
Tegernsee
,
and
the
other
of
Marieberg
,
both
with
the
Miter
,
Rochet
,
and
Crosier
staffe
.
The
one
gave
her
holy
water
,
and
the
other
presented
her
to
kisse
a
very
fine
Cross
of
Christal
of
the
Mountain
.
My
Lord
Holstenius
followed
after
the
Abbots
,
who
after
a
low
congee
to
her
Majesty
,
and
their
Highnesses
the
Arch-Dukes
,
caused
one
of
the
Abbots
to
begin
,
Come
O
Holy
Ghost
,
&c.
which
was
sung
with
most
excellent
Musick
.
Here
then
Holstenius
stood
up
before
the
chaire
,
expecting
when
the
Queen
,
the
Arch-D●kes
,
and
all
the
Cavaliers
would
sit
down
in
their
places
.
Then
he
,
beheld
by
all
with
silence
and
attention
,
began
with
a
loud
voice
to
declare
his
Commission
by
the
Pop●s
express
Brief
of
the
following
tenor
.
To

.
After
this
he
gave
the
Original

to
the
Master
of
the
ceremonies
of
his
Highness
,
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
the
Arch-Dukes
,
quickly
and
freely
kneeled
down
upon
it
.
Holstenius
presented
her
the
printed
forme
of
the
Profession
,
saying
to
her
the
following
words
.
This
is
the
solemn
and
usual
form
of
Professing
the
Catholick
faith
,
the
holy
Church
of
Rome
useth
,
and
her
Ma●esty
is
to
read
before
me
and
the
witnesses
here
present
,
with
a
clear
and
distinct
voice
,
and
afterwards
with
her
own
hand
subscribe
.
And
both
the
Arch-Dukes
standing
about
the
Queen
,
together
with
Don
Antonio
Pimentel
,
as
witnesses
desired
;
her
Majesty
with
a
clear
,
distinct
,
and
lowd
voice
,
read
the
following
Profession
.
I
Christina
believe
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
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

,
Amen
.
He
afterwards
sate
down
,
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
,
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

very
sumptuous
machins
,
and
scenes
,

succeeded
extreamly
delightfull
.
The
subsequent
night
they
likewise
represented
in
musique
,
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
.

Her
Majesty
remaining
in
Inspruch
,
thought
it
good
to
write
this
following
letter
to
the
King
of
Swedland
,
the
contents
of
which
were
,
Dear
Brother
,
I
Am
happily
arrived
here
,
where
I
found
the
Permission
and
Order
of
his
Holinesse
,
to
declare
my self
what
I
am
,
and
have
been
long
ago
.
I
think
my self
fortunate
in
obeying
him
,
and
have
preferred
this
glory
before
that
of
reigning
o're
the
potent
Dominions
you
possesse
.
You
should
like
my
resolut●on
,
though
you
thought
it
not
good
,
since
to
you
't
is
so
profitable
and
so
glorious
.
However
I
protest
unto
you
,
I
have
not
at
all
changed
the
sense
of
the
friendship
I
have
ever
had
for
you
,
nor
the
love
I
owe
Swedland
,
which
I
will
preserve
as
long
as
I
live
,
and
eternally
be
Dear
Brother
,
Your
most
affectionate
Sister
and
Friend
CHRISTINA

Inspruch

Novemb.

1655.
Two
houres
after
dinner
the
Queen
went
from
Inspruch
with
all
her
attendance
,
accompanied
by
their
Highnesses
some
part
of
the
way
,
and
waited
on
by
the
Baron
of
Freyberg
,
together
with
all
the
Officers
,
and
the
same
train
,
that
went
to
meet
her
,
being
alwaies
very
generously
defrayed
by
that
Prince
,
to
the
very
last
confines
of
his
state
.
Inspruch
,
Holstenius
dispatcht
a
Courier
to
the
Cardinal
Legat
of
Ferrara
,
advising
him
of
her
Majesties
advance
towards
that
place
,
and
that
he
might
be
sure
she
would
be
in
the
Churches
dominions
on
the
two
and
twentieth
following
.
In
the
mean
time
he
continued
in
Inspruch
,
to
perfect
the
publick
instrument
of
the
act
of
Profession
in
the
Notaries
acts
,
and
here
on
that
account
,
he
being
necessitated
to
expect
till
the
next
day
after
noone
,
he
departed
then
likewise
,
and
overtook
the
Queen
just
as
she
was
going
out
of
Stersen
after
dinner
on
the
tenth
.
On
the
eighth
at
night
,
her
Majesty
lay
at
Motera
,
a
little
town
of
Tyrole
,
between
Insp●uch
and
the
mountain
Prainer
,
and
the
following
morning
arrived
there
from
Inspruch
,
John
George
Clinig
Gentleman
of
the
Chamber
to
his
Highnesse
,
and
Count
Francis
di
Lodrone
Gentleman
of
the
Chamber
to
Prince
Sigismond
,
to
visit
her
Majesty
in
the
name
of
their
Masters
,
to
enquire
of
her
health
,
to
wish
her
a
good
journey
,
and
see
if
she
wanted
any
thing
,
Complements
used
by
Princes
among
one
another
in
like
cases
.
From
Stersen
her
Majesty
went
to
Bressanon
,
Anthony
Crolino
,
met
with
a
noble
traine
,
and
lodged
with
all
magnificence
that
night
.
The
day
after
,
on
the
eleventh
,
having
dined
at
Colmar
,
a
place
that
was
halfway
,
her
Majesty
arrived
that
evening
at
Bolgiano
,
a
very
great
Town
between
the
mountains
,
in
the
spatiousest
place
of
the
plain
,
where
the
clear
river
Adice
made
navigable
,
carries
with
a
rapid
current
all
the
Merchandize
sent
into
Italy
,
from
those
noble
Faires
,
which
are
usually
kept
foure
times
a
year
.
A
little
before
they
arrived
at
Bolgiano
,
a
Courier
came
to
Holstenius
,
dispatcht
from
the
Legat
of
Ferrara
,
and
the
Nuntii
,
to
have
an
assurance
of
the
way
,
by
which
her
Majesty
would
come
into
the
Countrey
of
Ferrara
,
to
wit
,
if
through
the
state
of
Venice
,
or
of
Mantoua
,
but
he
being
unable
to
give
them
any
answer
of
that
,
the
Venetians
having
then
not
declared
by
what
place
they
would
give
her
leave
to
passe
,
he
detained
the
Courier
till
he
knew
their
resolution
.
The
four
Nuntii
were
departed
now
from
Rome
,
with
Signior
Fulvie
Servanzii
,
one
of
the
Masters
of
the
Ceremonies
,
and
Signior
Nuntiato
Baldocci
,
one
of
the
Computists
of
the
Apostolical
Chamber
,
and
with
a
great
retinue
and
baggage
,
answerable
to
the
greatnesse
of
their
charge
,
who
going
easie
journeys
through
Umbria
,
Marca
,
and
Romagna
,
were
come
to
Ferrara
.
His
Holinesse
made
choice
of
this
Officer
of
the
Chamber
,
that
he
by
his
conduct
and
integrity
,
might
look
to
the
charges
of
the
lodgings
,
which
were
to
be
defrayed
by
the
Chamber
,
and
see
that
all
things
were
in
very
good
order
,
as
indeed
they
were
alwaies
,
when
directed
by
him
.
And
because
his
Beatitude
was
extreamly
concerned
that
every
thing
should
be
done
very
splendidly
and
punctually
,
his
Holinesse
with
a
Note
of
his
hand
directed
to
my
Lord
Franzoni
,
Treasurer
general
,
gave
order
on
the
23
of
October
of
the
year
1655
that
to
the
said
Baldocci
he
should
cause
to
be
paid
without
any
limitation
,
what
money
he
should
use
,
and
to
the
said
Baldocci
,
he
likewise
gave
authority
to
make
the
reckonings
even
of
himself
,
without
the
accustomed
Congregation
of
accounts
.
And
because
the
charge
of
Computist
of
the
Chamber
,
is
an
Office
of
great
weight
;
in
the
absence
of
Signior
Nuntiato
Baldocci
aforesaid
,
Signiore
Giovanni
his
Brother
had
the
place
,
who
had
given
many
honourable
and
very
worthy
proofes
of
his
experience
in
the
employment
of
Computist
of
his
Holinesses
Souldiers
in
the
siege
of
Castro
,
and
likewise
in
Dalmatia
in
that
of
Collateral
for
the
souldiers
,
which
warred
for
the
Republick
of
Venice
against
the
Turke
,
where
he
was
four
years
exercising
,
besides
for
two
years
together
the
Paymasters
place
,
in
the
absence
of
the
other
.
The
said
Baldocci
,
as
a
Minister
very
zealous
for
his
Holinesses
good
service
,
arriving
at
Civita
Castallana
,
took
Post
,
and
rode
in
great
haste
to
speak
with
all
the
Legates
,
and
Governors
of
the
places
appointed
for
her
Majesties
lodgings
,
presenting
to
them
the
Popes
note
aforesaid
,
as
likewise
the
letters
of
the
Secretary
of
State
,
and
the
Lord
Treasurer
general
,
with
leaving
money
every
where
,
according
to
their
need
,
and
adding
by
word
of
mouth
,
what
seemed
to
him
fit
for
a
businesse
of
that
nature
,
and
wholly
agreeable
to
his
Holinesses
intention
,
and
thus
he
did
all
along
to
Ferrara
,
whither
he
came
six
dayes
before
the
arrival
of
the
Nuntii
,
and
just
in
a
time
,
when
they
had
not
the
least
information
that
the
Queen
was
departed
from
Inspruch
,
insomuch
as
the
time
was
commodious
for
preparing
of
all
things
for
her
Majesties
reception
.
To
Ferrara
came
likewise
opportunely
the
Coach
sent
by
his
Holinesse
,
the
Litter
,
and
Chaire
,
with
the
Quartermasters
,
and
Harbenger
,
for
ordering
of
the
lodgings
,
with
two
noble
beds
,
both
alike
,
with
Chaires
of
the
same
,
to
the
end
that
her
Majestie
should
lye
all
the
journey
in
her
usual
beds
,
and
one
might
go
before
unto
the
other
lodging
.
The
cloath
of
state
,
the
carpet
,
and
many
other
things
were
sent
from
Rome
,
even
the
table
to
eat
on
,
the
gilt
furniture
of
the
Cup-board
,
with
divers
other
Officers
,
all
under
the
command
of
Baldocci
.
Giovanni
Georgio
di
Fermiano
,
a
Gentleman
of
great
spirit
and
parts
,
dispatcht
from
the
Prince
Charles
Emanuel
Madruzzi
,
the
Bishop
of
Trent
,
and
Count
of
Chiullant
,
to
invite
her
to
that
City
,
with
expressions
of
obsequiousnesse
and
respect
.
Her
Majesty
seeming
to
like
the
invitation
,
replyed
with
her
accustomed
civility
,
that
her
passage
was
granted
her
by
the
Republick
of
Venice
,
with
this
expresse
condition
,
that
she
should
not
stay
in
Trent
,
nor
Roveredo
,
and
therefore
she
could
not
have
the
honour
of
his
invitation
.
The
Baron
soon
informed
the
Prince
of
all
,
who
very
desirous
to
serve
her
in
his
state
,
Antonio
della
Cueva
,
to
Count
Montecuccoli
,
and
my
Lord
Holstenius
,
entreating
them
to
use
their
authority
with
her
Majesty
for
obtaining
his
desire
in
order
to
her
lodging
in
Trent
,
since
the
supposition
of
the
plague
was
most
false
,
they
enjoying
perfect
health
in
that
City
.
These
Gentlemen
employed
themselves
joyntly
to
comply
with
the
said
Princes
desire
,
and
the
Baron
of
Fermiano
had
a
very
courteous
audience
of
the
Queen
in
Bolgiano
,
where
he
reinvited
her
,
receiving
this
answer
from
her
Majesty
,
The
Queen
departing
from
Bolgiano
on
the
thirteenth
of
the
month
,
lay
at
Egna
that
night
,
a
town
not
long
before
,
with
another
place
called
Salorno
,
bought
by
Signior
Zenobi
di
Verona
a
Nobleman
of
Venice
.
Here
arrived
a
Courier
from
the
Duke
of
Mantoua
,
with
letters
to
her
Majesty
to
invite
her
to
that
City
.
His
Highness
had
sent
to
that
end
the
Marquess
Andreasi
Captain
of
his
guard
,
but
because
the
passages
were
shut
,
he
had
been
constrained
to
stay
at
Volargna
,
a
village
belonging
to
Verona
,
a
little
way
distant
from
Chiusa
,
which
is
a
narrow
passage
,
and
strong
,
where
there
is
a
constant
Garrison
of
souldiers
,
and
albeit
the
Queen
refused
his
invitation
,
excusing
her self
,
that
she
could
not
go
out
of
the
way
,
she
going
directly
to

The

whose
Officers
and
Train
,
which
alwayes
had
attended

defrayed
her

State
,
took
their
leaves
of
her
Majesty
.
Giovanni
Battista
Allegri
,
and
Marc
Antonio
Chiodo
,
both
Officers
to
take
care
for
the
health
of
the
City
of
Verona
,
and
Gentlemen
of
great
quality
,
and
eminent
birth
,
stood
ready
on
the
confines
,
to
know
of
Don
Antonio
Pimentel
what
company
he
had
in
his
train
,
to
the
end
none
but
they
might
be
suffered
to
passe
,
since
every
thing
was
done
in
his
name
,
the
Queen
not
desiring
to
be
known
,
nor
to
be
met
by
any
,
as
't
was
punctually
observed
.
Her
Majesty
next
to
Hall
,
was
to
lye
in
the
Village
of
Dolce
above
Chiusa
,
whereupon
by
his
Excellencies
order
,
Signior
Paolo
Contarini
the
then
Captain
of
Verona
and
a
Senatour
of
great
quality
,
her
lodgings
were
prepared
as
well
as
the
narrownesse
and
littlenesse
of
the
incommodious
place
would
permit
for
receiving
so
numerous
a
train
,
where
they
wanted
not
any
thing
,
the
season
and
occasion
would
afford
,
the
charge
of
the
reception
being
committed
to
the
Marquis
Sagramoso
Sagramosi
,
and
Count
Giovanni
Paolo
Pompei
,
principal
Cavaliers
of
Verona
,
well
acquainted
,
and
versed
in
the
businesse
.
They
went
with
a
noble
retinue
of
Gentlemen
their
Camrades
,
with
servants
,
and
coaches
with
six
horses
apiece
,
to
receive
Pimentel
aforesaid
at
the
barrs
of
the
passage
,
which
were
ih
the
village
of
Peri
,
Antonio
Pimentel
.
and
here
they
presented
a
letter
from
the
Senatour
Contareno
to
the
Embassador
Pimentel
,
accompanying
it
with
excuses
,
and
expressions
of
good
will
which
are
usually
observed
in
occurrences
of
that
nature
.
The
Embassadour
accepted
their
relation
with
terms
of
much
courtesie
,
and
affectionate
thanks
.
When
they
arrived
at
Dolce
,
they
did
all
they
could
to
accomodate
them
in
their
lodgings
,
where
the
treatment
consisted
of
fish
of
the
lake
of
Garda
,
of
wilde
game
,
shell-fish
,
sweet
meats
,
and
most
excellent
wines
,
as
well
of
that
Countrey
to
wit
,
Muskadine
,
and
Garganicho
esteemed
the
best
,
as
of
other
Greek
wines
,
and
others
brought
from
Venice
,
and
was
very
splendid
and
agreeable
to
the
Venetian
greatnesse
.
de
Cueva
was
surprized
with
a
gentle
feaver
,
occasioned
by
a
defluxion
of
rhume
,
so
as
she
and
the
Signior
della
Cueva
her
husband
were
forced
to
remain
there
some
dayes
,
but
she
was
soon
after
well
,
and
they
pursued
their
journey
,
overtaking
her
Majesty
at
Loretto
.
In
the
mean
time
the
Marquis
Andreasi
a
compleat
Cavalier
appeared
,
Ponte
Molino
an
ancient
Castle
,
where
they
passe
from
the
Countrey
of
Verona
into
that
of
Mantoua
,
a
good
guard
of
foot
.
The
day
the
Queen
moved
from
the
Island
of
Scala
,
the
Marquis
Andreasi
,
who
after
the
ceremony
of
inviting
her
Majesty
in
Dolce
,
as
we
said
before
,
was
returned
to
Mantoua
,
was
sent
by
his
Highnesse
with
a
numerous
and
noble
retinue
to
the
confines
,
to
receive
there
her
Majesty
,
representing
to
her
,
the
Duke
would
be
presently
there
to
wait
upon
her
:
nor
omitted
he
to
expresse
his
Highnesses
discontent
,
Sending
therefore
before
him
his
guards
of
light
Horsemen
,
and
Launciers
in
a
very
good
livery
,
all
appointed
for
the
service
of
her
Majesty
;
his
Highnesse
passed
the
Po
with
very
many
principal
Cavaliers
,
and
went
in
his
coach
to
Ponte
Molino
,
causing
likewise
to
be
led
along
with
him
,
the
horses
richly
fadled
and
adorned
,
with
intention
to
use
them
in
waiting
on
the
Queen
,
but
the
rain
spoiled
all
his
designes
.
When
the
Duke
had
discovered
her
Majesties
Coach
,
When
the
Duke
was
gone
,
her
Highnesse
the
Arch-Dutchess
arrived
,
accompanied
by
many
coaches
,
Here
her
Majesty
passed
the
Po
to
the
opposite
bank
of
Revere
,
The
town
of
Revere
hath
one
long
street
among
the
rest
,
extended
along
the
Po
,
with
houses
on
both
sides
.
Through
this
,
which
was
beautified
with
lights
,
the
Queen
was
carried
in
her
chair
to
the
Palace
of
the
Duke
,
the
24
Pages
aforesaid
preceding
with
torches
in
their
hands
,
and
a
company
of
the
Guard
,
another
company
like
that
,
following
the
Arch-Dutchesse
,
and
the
Ladies
in
the
coach
;
The
Duke
with
his
Cavaliers
,
went
through
a
shorter
way
to
the
Palace
,
which
besides
being
furnisht
most
richly
,
was
kept
by
the
foot-guards
of
his
Highnesse
in
their
live●y
,
and
adorned
with
a
most
noble
and
most
beautifull
row
of
Ladies
,
who
with
the
lustre
of
the
jewells
and
gold
,
with
which
they
were
docked
,
augmented
the
splendour
of
the
infinite
number
of
lights
,
which
were
burning
every
where
.
Her
Majesty
alighted
out
of
her
chaire
in
the
great
hall
of
the
Palace
,
In
the
mean
time
they
made
ready
the
table
in
the
same
antichamber
abounding
with
Nobility
,
which
fill●d
too
the
great
Hall
,
that
was
per●it
,
many
Gentlemen
of
the
neighbouring
Cities
,
besides
the
Cavaliers
of
the
Countrey
,
flocking
thither
in
great
numbers
,
attracted
not
only
by
a
laudable
curiosity
,
but
out
of
their
own
inclination
to
wait
on
that
Prince
,
who
with
the
atraction
of
his
most
sweet
carriage
,
commanded
the
obsequiousnesse
of
the
most
remote
persons
,
not
onely
of
his
neighbours
.
Her
Majesty
sate
at
table
under
a
cloath
of
state
in
perspective
,
on
a
carpet
raised
four
fingers
from
the
ground
,
and
over
against
her
the
Duke
and
Arch-Dutchesse
.
Don
Antonio
Pimentel
,
though
invited
,
was
not
there
,
he
finding
himself
not
very
well
.
The
table
was
adorned
so
artificially
,
that
the
eye
was
not
satisfied
with
seeing
,
nor
the
mind
in
admiring
that
natural
beauty
.
The
quantity
and
delicacy
of
the
meats
,
shewed
the
greatest
imaginable
magnificence
and
generosity
.
Yet
all
was
observed
without
wonder
,
for
every
one
that
knows
what
a
mind
that
Prince
hath
,
which
even
in
little
things
,
is
still
great
,
to
be
answerable
to
the
greatness
of
the
house
of
Gonzaga
,
admired
it
not
at
all
.
Her
Majesties
Cupbearer
was
Count
Luigi
Canossa
,
The
Musick
continued
as
long
as
the
supper
,
and
every
thing
was
most
pleasing
to
her
Majesty
,
who
afterwards
retired
to
her
lodgings
,
as
the
Princess
and
all
the
rest
did
,
On
the
following
day
,
Innocentio
Conti
de
Duchi
de
Poli
a
Roman
.
Campmaster
general
of
the
souldiers
of
the
Ecclesiastical
state
,
and
Commander
in
Ferrara
,
departed
on
the
twentieth
in
the
morning
betimes
with
same
troops
of
horse
,
one
of
which
of
the
Guard
was
commanded
by
the
Marquis
Carlo
Theodoli
,
a
person
of
eminent
quality
,
with
the
Coach
,
Litter
,
and
chaire
,
which
his
Holinesse
had
sent
for
the
meeting
of
her
Majestie
,
on
the
confines
,
but
by
reason
of
the
shortnesse
of
the
time
,
and
the
ill
way
,
they
could
only
advance
two
miles
farther
than
Calto
,
where
discovering
her
Majesties
Coach
,
they
alighted
,
and
the
Queen
did
the
same
,
when
she
was
near
to
them
.
The
Nuntii
here
complemented
her
in
the
name
of
his
Holiness
,
and
presented
her
the
Brief
,
which
her
Majesty
with
great
reverence
received
,
kissing
it
,
and
opened
it
in
the
open
fields
,
though
it
rained
,
which
was
of
the
following
tenor
.
To
our
dearest
Daughter
in
Christ
,
Christina
,
the
illustrious
Queen
of
Swedland
.
Alexander
the
VIIth
Pope
.
OUr
most
dear
Daughter
in
Christ
,
Greeting
and
Apostolical
benediction
.
In
what
great
expectation
we
are
of
your
Majesties
arrival
,
our
venerable
Brothers
,
Hannibal
of
Thebes
,
and
Luke
of
Ravenna
,
Arch-Bishops
,

beloved
sons
Mr.
Inico
Caraccioli
,
Dean
of
the
Apostolical
Chamber
,
and
Philip
Cesarini
Clerk
of
the
same
,
our
extraordinary
Nuntii
to
your
Majesty
will
evidently
declare
.
For
in
this
excesse
of
joy
we
could
scarce
contain
our selves
,
that
the
interpreters
of
it
might
be
kept
within
the
limit
of
the
Churches
Dominions
,
and
expresse
at
your
entrance
the
summe
of
our
gladnesse
and
great
charity
towards
you
.
But
because
we
suppose
you
as
sensible
of
this
joy
and
content
,
we
doubt
not
but
this
intimation
of
our
paternal
love
,
and
earnest
good
will
,
will
likewise
be
most
gratefull
to
you
.
In
the
mean
time
't
is
a
sweet
thing
to
us
,
to
think
of
the
No
small
or
light
portion
of
the
pleasure
of
that
day
,
when
Rome
shall
receive
you
with
the
glad
congratulations
of
all
.
and
you
finde
the
true
fountains
of
wisdom
,
which
you
formerly
have
learned
,
not
from
the
doctrine
of
Christ
,
But
in
the
schoole
of
Philosophers
,
amongst
the
foolish
things
of
this
world
,
and
the
interdicted
,
and
ignoble
,
and
behold
at
the
shrines
of
the
Apostles
,
the
monuments
of
Princes
and
Kings
,
the
Disciples
of
the
Crosse
triumphing
,
as
it
were
'ore
the
pride
and
pomp
of
the
World
.
For
the
rest
,
so
well
are
they
descended
whom
we
send
to
your
Majesty
,
and
such
praises
have
they
purchased
,
besides
,
a
noble
family
,
that
it
will
be
a
hard
thing
for
you
to
determine
what
you
in
each
of
them
shall
most
like
.
Now
God
,
whose
Word
the
winds
,
and
the
tempests
obey
,
be
with
you
in
your
journy
,
and
confer
on
your
Majesty
the
blessings
wee
most
lovingly
impart
.

,
another
place
resembling
it
,
seated
in
an
angle
,
which
is
made
by
the
river
Panaro
in
discharging
it self
into
the
said
Po.
Every
thing
convenient
for
the
lodging
of
so
great
a
train
could
not
be
had
in
time
,
for
computing
that
the
Queen
,
by
reason
of
the
ill
weather
,
could
not
arrive
there
untill
the
21
as
Holstenius
had
written
,
things
were
not
observed
with
that
punctuality
and
necessary
sollicitude
,
to
which
may
be
added
,
that
the
river
grown
tempestuous
with
the
wind
,
suffered
not
to
passe
,
till
the
twentieth
at
evening
,
certain
Officers
and
goods
designed
for
the
lodging
.
However
the
things
were
well
ordered
,
for
though
there
were
that
night
in
that
little
place
about
eight
hundred
horse
of
her
Majesties
train
,
and
the
souldiers
of
the
Militia
,
and
albeit
the
great
rains
were
a
hindrance
to
every
thing
,
the
well
ordered
commands
of
Don
Innocentio
Conti
facilitated
the
endeavours
of
the
Ministers
subordinate
to
Baldocchi
,
who
had
sent
them
thither
from
Ferrara
,
he
by
his
assiduous
applications
in
this
,
and
that
place
,
more
deserving
still
the
name
of
an
accurate
and
diligent
Officer
.
On
the
22
of
November
her
Majesty
dined
in
Figarolo
,
Innocentio
Conti
,
a
Gentleman
of
great
valour
and
conduct
,
having
commanded
five
thousand
foot
,
and
a
thousand
horse
,
had
divided
them
with
that
order
on
those
banks
,
that
he
made
them
seeme
more
numerous
to
the
wonder
of
all
.
My
Lord
B●ssi
,
a
nobleman
of
Viterbo
,
and
a
Prelate
of
great
parts
,
the
Vice-Legate
of
Ferrara
,
with
a
very
great
attendance
of
Gentlemen
of
Ferrara
a
horseback
,
came
near
Figarolo
to
complement
the
Queen
,
informing
her
the
Cardinal
Legate
would
presently
be
there
to
wait
on
her
Majesty
.
His
Eminence
issuing
out
of
the
City
,
advanced
to
Occhiobello
distant
six
miles
,
to
meet
her
with
a
very
good
train
of
Coaches
,
with
six
horses
apiece
,
full
of
principal
Cavaliers
of
that
countrey
.
His
Eminence
discovering
the
Queen
25
paces
off
,
who
was
alone
in
his
Holinesses
Coach
,
alighted
and
met
her
.
The
Queen
causing
her
Coach
to
be
stopt
ten
paces
from
the
Cardinal
,
did
likewise
alight
,
and
here
began
the
Complement
,
in
which
still
her
Majesty
gave
the
title
of
Eminence
.
Then
the
Queen
went
again
into
her
Coach
,
helpt
thither
by
the
Cardinal
,
who
likewise
went
into
his
own
,
and
followed
her
Majesty
,
who
had
on
a
mans
Hungerlin
of
plain
black
velvet
,
with
a
band
,
and
an
upper
safegard
for
women
of
a
dark
grey
colour
,
without
which
she
would
have
lookt
like
a
man
.
Girolamo
Ressetti
,
Cavalier
of
Ferrara
,
of
very
great
spirit
,
and
eminent
parts
.
It
was
made
of
46
great
and
thick
barques
,
with
a
floore
so
broad
,
four
coaches
could
go
over
it
in
a
breast
.
It
reacht
f●om
one
side
to
the
other
,
not
simply
from
the
brink
of
the
water
,
to
the
opposite
part
,
but
from
the
bank
it self
,
on
which
it
stood
.
The
construction
of
the
bridge
was
most
rare
,
and
the
finest
,
peradventure
,
that
hath
been
seen
in
Europe
.
The
Queen
would
needs
go
o're
it
,
though
for
her
there
was
prepared
a
most
splendid
Bucintoro
,
adorned
with
the
Popes
and
her
Majesties
armes
,
and
another
noble
barque
somwhat
lesse
.
When
her
Majesty
was
passed
,
though
the
bridge
was
so
full
of
Coaches
,
horses
,
and
souldiers
,
that
it
could
hold
no
more
,
yet
it
stood
alwayes
firme
,
and
very
strong
without
the
least
disjoynting
.
Francesso
Calcagnini
the
chief
Cavalier
of
the
place
,
and
a
person
endued
with
extraordinary
parts
.
He
was
President
of
the
Councel
,
and
afterwards
with
the
Magistrates
,
the
Colledge
of
Doctors
,
and
his
guard
of
halbardiers
in
the
usual
livery
of
the
City
,
and
great
strore
of
servants
advanced
to
complement
the
Queen
,
who
received
him
with
her
accustomed
affability
.
When
his
complement
was
ended
,
he
waited
on
the
Queen
riding
before
her
with
his
train
,
among
which
were
24
Pages
nobly
born
,
and
clothed
in
plain
black
velvet
,
designed
for
the
attendance
on
her
Majesty
.
The
City
spared
no
cost
,
nor
application
,
for
Count
Julius
Caesar
Nigrelli
,
Embassadour
in
Rome
for
that
Town
,
a
charge
he
had
exercised
with
great
praise
and
attention
,
had
in
order
thereunto
,
advertised
the
Magistrates
of
his
Holinesses
minde
.
At
the
first
she
was
welcomed
with
six
great
Cannons
with
bullets
,
all
discharged
at
the
same
time
,
and
afterwards
by
the
artillery
from
the
walls
,
with
an
infinite
number
of
mortar-pieces
intermingled
.
All
the
gates
,
streets
,
and
breast-works
were
manned
with
souldiers
,
with
lights
in
the
streets
,
and
torches
at
the
Palaces
of
the
Cardinals
,
the
Legate
and
Bishop
,
the
Town-house
,
the
Vice-Legates
,
and
other
particular
Cavaliers
.
She
came
in
her
Litter
to
the
Pillars
before
the
Cathedral
,
She
is
beautifull
,
&c.
The
Cardinal
Legate
coming
out
of
his
coach
,
and
making
a
low
reverence
to
the
Queen
,
went
into
the
Sacristy
to
put
off
his
travelling
cloaths
,
and
put
on
his
long
under-garment
,
his
Rotchet
,
&c.
expecting
there
the
Cardinal
Bishop
.
At
the
entrance
into
the
Church
,
the
Cardinal
Bishop
with
the
Mitre
on
his
head
,
taking
the
sprinkling
brush
from
the
Dean
,
besprinkled
the
Queeen
,
and
the
other
there
present
,
then
made
a
reverence
to
the
Queen
,
and
took
off
the
Mitre
,
while
in
the
mean
time
the
Musitians
began
to
sing
the
Hymne
,
Te
Deum
.
When
the
first
was
ended
,
the
Bishop
put
on
again
his
Mitre
,
and
going
before
the
crosse
in
like
manner
,
and
the
Chapter
went
towards
the
high
Altar
,
on
which
was
exposed
the
most
holy
Sacrament
.
Then
his
Eminence
went
to
the
Epistle
side
,
and
laying
aside
his
Mitre
,
and
kneeling
at
the
verse
,
We
threfore
beseech
thee
,
&c.
stood
up
again
,
and
turning
to
the
Queen
,
as
soon
as
Te
Deum
was
ended
,
recited
the
verses
and
prayers
,
Save
thy
Handmaid
,
&c.
Lord
God
,
by
whose
providence
,
&c.
and
finally
standing
in
the
middle
of
the
Altar
,
gave
the
solemne
benediction
,
and
bowing
to
the
Queen
,
went
thence
into
the
Sacristy
to
put
off
his
Ornaments
,
and
cloathing
himselfe
like
the
Cardinal
Legate
,
they
came
out
of
the
Sacristy
together
,
and
went
both
to
the
Queen
,
who
went
alone
into
her
coach
,
and
the
two
Cardinals
,
the
Nuntii
,
and
the
Embassadour
Pimentel
in
another
,
who
waited
on
her
Majesty
to
the
Castle
,
and
to
her
own
lodgings
.
The
Church
had
the
frontispiece
all
resplendent
with
torches
,
and
within
was
hung
richly
with
tapestries
,
with
a
kneeling
place
for
the
Queen
,
and
cushions
for
the
Nuntii
,
who
alwayes
attended
on
her
Majesty
.
Her
Majesty
staid
two
dayes
in
Ferrara
,
where
she
visited
diverse
Monasteries
of
Nuns
,
and
the
remarkablest
things
of
the
City
,
being
alwayes
accompanied
by
the
two
Cardinals
in
her
Coach
,
their
Eminences
sitting
before
,
and
the
Queen
alone
behinde
.
The
four
Nuntii
followed
after
,
as
they
alwayes
had
done
,
in
another
coach
,
and
all
the
other
Gentlemens
coaches
of
the
traine
,
continued
in
a
row
,
one
after
another
.
She
desired
to
see
the
fortresse
so
famed
,
and
was
much
pleased
with
it
,
and
here
she
her self
was
assistent
in
discharging
some
pieces
of
artillery
.
During
these
two
dayes
,
the
City
onely
feasted
and
rejoyced
,
every
one
endeavouring
to
demonstrate
their
gladnesse
,
fine
maskings
being
seen
,
and
other
rare
shews
,
for
the
pleasing
of
the
eys
,
and
divertisement
of
the
senses
.
The
Queen
at
her
entrance
into
the
Church-dominions
,
sent
by
Post
from
Ferrara
to
Rome
,
Raymund
Montecuccoli
,
to
complement
his
Holiness
in
her
name
,
and
thanks
him
for
all
the
honours
,
his
beatitude
had
been
pleased
to
do
her
,
and
particularly
for
them
she
had
begun
to
receive
in
the
state
Ecclesiastical
,
to
whom
she
consigned
affectionate
letters
for
his
Holinesse
.
This
Cavalier
with
the
usuall
vivacity
of
his
noble
and
eminent
parts
,
gave
a
very
good
account
of
his
employment
,
and
leaving
the
Pope
highly
satisfied
with
his
function
,
returned
from
thence
within
a
few
dayes
,
to
finde
out
the
Queen
in
her
journey
,
and
go
back
with
her
to
Rome
.
The
day
after
her
Majesty
being
willing
to
dine
in
publick
,
a
table
was
prepared
with
a
single
covering
,
under
the
cloth
of
state
,
but
because
she
would
honour
the
Cardinal
Legate
and
Bishop
,
by
taking
them
to
dinner
with
her
,
two
other
coverings
were
brought
,
one
at
the
right
hand
,
and
the
other
at
the
left
of
the
table
,
a
little
way
distant
from
the
upper
end
,
where
the
Queen
was
to
sit
,
each
of
them
being
under
a
little
of
the
Canopy
.
All
the
three
coverings
were
in
gilt
baskets
,
the
Cardinal
Legate
sitting
on
the
right
hand
,
the
Bishop
on
the
left
,
and
the
Legate
saying
grace
.
Don
Luigi
Pio
of
Savoy
,
Prince
of
St.
Gregory
,
Brother
to
the
Cardinal
Bishop
,
gave
the
water
for
her
Majesties
hands
,
and
assisted
at
the
table
,
changing
the
dishes
after
the
manner
of
Germany
.
Don
Innocentio
Conti
presented
her
the
napkin
,
and
the
Marquis
Hippolitus
Bentivoglio
was
her
Cupbearer
and
Sewer
.
The
said
Prince
of
St.
Gregory
came
by
post
from
Rome
to
Ferrara
,
to
wait
on
the
Queen
,
as
one
who
being
curious
of
seeing
the
world
,
when
he
had
been
at
the
Courts
of
Spain
,
France
,
Flanders
,
Holland
and
Denmark
,
passing
likewise
into
Swedland
,
had
received
there
many
honours
of
her
Majesty
,
and
among
other
things
was
accompanied
to
Danzich
by
a
Swedish
man
of
war
,
and
besides
had
her
Majesties
picture
set
with
a
hundred
faire
diamonds
,
a
favour
that
generous
Princesse
was
accustomed
to
shew
to
Embassadours
of
Kings
,
and
Cavaliers
of
eminent
condition
.
He
therefore
had
waited
upon
her
on
the
confines
of
Ferrara
,
and
had
been
received
with
all
courtesie
,
so
as
having
paid
her
his
respects
,
But
returning
to
what
was
observed
at
the
table
,
the
bibbs
were
presented
to
the
Queen
and
the
Cardinalls
.
Their
Eminences
were
in
their
rotchets
,
and
forbare
very
strictly
to
touch
any
meat
,
till
they
saw
what
her
Majesty
liked
,
and
had
eaten
first
of
it
.
The
first
discourse
began
here
by
the
Queen
was
of
the
Painters
at
Rome
,
Peter
di
Cortona
,
and
Cavalier
Bernino
.
She
then
spake
of
the
Musitians
,
and
seemed
well
informed
of
all
the
treble
voyces
,
or
Eunuchs
,
saying
,
Bonaventura
was
the
best
at
that
time
,
and
that
Cavalier
Loreto
of
Spoleti
had
taught
to
sing
handsomly
,
continuing
a
while
in
the
praises
of
musick
,
and
calling
it
the
ornament
of
Princes
,
and
delight
of
the
chambers
.
At
the
first
draught
the
Queen
drank
,
three
great
pieces
of
artillery
were
discharged
.
She
discoursed
then
of
the
Temples
of
Europe
,
and
said
three
were
great
,
to
wit
,
St.
Peter
in
Rome
,
St.
Paul
in
London
,
and
the
Dome
in
Millan
,
but
that
St.
Peters
was
the
fairest
and
greatest
,
adding
likewise
,
as
it
were
with
a
sigh
,
St.
Pauls
Church
in
London
was
now
become
a
stable
,
and
here
she
discoursed
awhile
of
the
English
affaires
.
Then
feeling
it
grew
hot
,
she
caused
the
glasse
of
the
windows
to
be
opened
from
the
top
to
the
botome
,
and
the
people
which
stood
about
the
table
,
retired
then
a
little
.
When
her
Majesty
had
drank
the
second
time
,
she
said
she
had
never
drank
so
much
wine
as
in
Italy
,
where
it
was
very
excellent
.
The
Cardinal
Bishop
replyed
,
your
Majesty
hath
drank
little
of
it
,
for
you
put
much
water
to
it
,
and
we
see
you
carry
with
you
the
vertue
of
the
North
,
which
the
Queen
was
pleased
with
.
In
fine
,
new
dishes
of
meat
still
appearing
,
her
Majesty
praised
Italy
,
as
having
every
thing
within
it selfe
except
druggs
,
the
Cardinal
Legate
replyed
,
what
,
sugars
?
Her
Majesty
answered
,
you
have
them
in
Sicily
.
And
with
these
,
and
such
like
discourses
,
which
use
to
be
the
pastimes
of
great
persons
,
in
their
recreations
at
table
and
feasts
,
the
meat
was
taken
off
,
and
the
Queen
in
the
midst
of
the
two
Cardinals
aforesaid
,
retyred
to
her
chamber
,
where
their
Eminences
stayed
with
her
,
entertaining
themselves
with
several
discourses
.
Her
Majesty
in
her
speeches
shewed
a
great
esteem
,
of
France
,
and
to
be
well
informed
of
all
the
affaires
of
the
world
,
and
especially
of
the
Court
of
Rome
,
and
of
the
last
Conclave
.
That
night
they
saw
a
Comedy
at
the
charge
of
the
Marquis
Cornelius
Bentivoglio
,
a
Cavalier
of
one
of
the
chiefest
families
in
Italy
,
and
who
may
deservingly
be
called
a
true
lover
of
the
vertuous
.
This
play
,
where
the
honours
of
Boreas
with
Orithia
were
represented
,
succeeded
very
well
,
especially
for
the
admirable
beauty
and
finenesse
of
the
machins
.
Her
Majesty
very
worthily
esteeming
so
conspicuous
a
family
,
honoured
with
the
title
of
Gentleman
of
her
Chamber
,
and
her
Cupbearer
the
Marquis
Hippolitus
aforesaid
,
who
together
with
the
Marquis
Cornelus
his
father
,
waited
afterwards
upon
her
to
Rome
;
as
Donna
Constanza
Sforza
likewise
did
,
a
Lady
of
rare
parts
,
and
great
quality
,
and
wife
to
the
said
Marquis
Cornelius
,
who
instead
of
Madam
Cueva
,
who
staid
behind
sick
,
as
we
said
,
supplyed
with
equal
spirit
and
decorum
,
the
charge
of
chief
Lady
of
the
chamber
to
the
Queen
,
attending
on
her
all
the
rest
of
the
journey
to
Rome
.
The
remainder
of
the
night
was
solemnized
with
variety
of
artificial
fireworks
,
&
all
the
demonstrations
of
gladnesse
and
rejoycing
,
which
could
proceed
from
hearts
ambitious
of
conforming
themselves
to
the
generous
and
noble
inclination
of
their
Prince
.
While
the
Queen
staid
in
Ferrara
,
the
Count
St.
Vitale
came
thither
,
a
Cavalier
of
great
quality
,
sent
by
the
Duke
of
Parma
,
with
the
title
of
extraordinary
Embassador
to
complement
her
Majesty
.
The
Cardinal
John
Baptist
Spada
a
Noble
man
of
Lucca
,
John
Baptist

a
person
of
great
worth
and

,
performed
this
legation
to
his
very
great
glory
,
and
in
this
conjuncture
acted
nobly
and
abundantly

part
.
On
the

departed
from
Ferrara
,
Ranuccio
Ricci

Vice-Legate
,
with
the
traine
of
many

who
complemented

in
the
name
of
his
Eminence
Cardinal
John
Jerome
Lomellino
the
Legate
,
and
returned
to
Bologna
,
leaving
the
troop
of
horse
that
had
accompanied
him
thither
,
to
wait
on
the
Queen
.
Her
Majesty
lay
that
night
in
the
Villa
of
St.

,
in
the
Palace
of
the
Senatour
,
the
Marquis
John
Nicholas

,

President

,
and
a
person
highly
qualified
,
her
train
with
the
four
Nuntii
being
lodged
in
the
Palaces
and
neighbouring
houses
,
where
they
were
treated
splendidly
.
The
day
after
she
continued
her
journey
toward
Bologna
,
When
she
was
near
the
City
,
they
began
to
hear
the
noyse
of
the
Artillery
,
which
continued
till
she
got
to
the
Palace
.
At
the
gate
she
was
received
by
all
the
Magistrates
on
horseback
,
who
were
in
their
solemne
robes
.
After
the
like
complements
she
had
had
in
Ferrara
,
she
went
to
the
Church
of
St.
Peter
,
which
is
the
Cathedral
,
and
there
alighting
,
was
received
with
the
same
ceremonies
used
to
her
in
the
Church
of
Ferrara
,
After
this
the
Queen
went
into
the
Hall
of
Hercules
,
where
sitting
under
the
cloth
of
state
on
a
throne
prepared
for
her
,
she
saw
the
dancing
,
where
there
were
above
a
hundred
faire
Ladies
most
nobly
apparreled
.
The
day
following
she
went
to
see
the
Church
of
St.
Dominique
,
The
Duke
of
Modena

the
Queen
was
arrived
in
Bologna
,
sent
the
Marqis
Silvio
Molza
,
a
Cavalier
of
great
spirit
,
and
extraordinary
parts
,
in
the
quality
of
his
Embassadour
to
wait
on
the
Queen
,
but
it
had
no
effect
,
they
could
not
agree
of
the
pretensions
he
had
.
Bologna
,
Caracci
and
Reno
,
and
in
the
Sacristy
the
Saint
Michael
of
Brasse
,
the
excellent
workmanship
of
Albargi
.
She
visited
likewise
at
her
entrance
into
the
Church
,
the
body
of
blessed
Katherine
of
Bologna
,
which
is
kept
still
by
those
all
entire
,
palpable
,
and
sitting
without
any
help
to
hold
it
up
.
Her
Majesty
being
returned
to
the
Palace
,
the
Colledge
of
Bologna
presented
her
with
the
works
in
ten
Volumes
of
Doctor
Aldrovandi
which
she
very
much
esteemed
.
The
same
day
the
Queen
dined
in
publick
with
the
Cardinal
,
Francis
Charls
Caprara
,
nephew
to
Duke
Piccolomini
the
General
,
was
both
Carver
and
Cup-bearer
,
both
persons
of
high
worth
.
After
dinner
she
visited
the
great
Colledge
of
Spain
,
founded
long
since
by
the
famous
Cardinal
Gyles
Albernozzi
,
and
about
three
houres
in
the
night
,
she
went
to
the
lodgings
of
the
Colledge
,
and
thence
to
the
Theater
.
This
was
built
for
that
purpose
,
in
the
forme
of
a
great
ship
,
the
extremities
of
which
arrived
to
the
frontispiece
o're
the
fish-market
,
and
o're
part
of
the
Palace
,
through
a
great
window
of
which
,
her
Majesty
accompanied
by
the
Cardinal
,
passed
o're
a
bridge
very
splendidly
adorned
,
where
there
were
above
140
Ladies
,
all
equally
resplend●nt
with
the
lustre
of
their
beauty
,
and
a
rich
mine
of
pearls
,
and
of
jewels
,
of
inestimable
value
.
The
Theater
,
which
was
covered
,
had
certain
great
lights
on
the
top
,
and
above
300
torches
were
regularly
distributed
here
and
there
round
about
it
,
together
with
other
lesser
lights
,
which
made
it
most
resplendent
.
The
battlements
of
the
Palace
were
deckt
with
several
Carpets
,
some
of
arras
,
and
others
of
silk
of
diverse
colours
.
After
the
appearance
of
the
Masters
of
the
Camp
,
which
were
the
Marquis
Angelelli
,
and
Count
Edward
Pepoli
both
Senatours
,
they
beheld
a
great
guilded
Charriot
come
forth
,
with
24
groomes
apparrelled
in
cloath
of
silver
with
torches
in
their
hands
,
drawn
by
twelve
horses
most
splendidly
set
out
,
on
which
sat
cloathed
like
Pallas
,
Felsina
representing
Bologna
,
for
so
it
was
called
long
since
,
when
it
was
the
royal
City
of
Toscany
.
Somewhat
lower
stood
Peace
,
Fame
,
and
War
,
which
interlaced
the
song
of
Felsina
,
who
when
she
had
walked
up
and
down
in
the
field
,
stood
still
before
the
Queen
,
to
introduce
the
tilting
.
She
singing
then
,
said
,
to
applaud
so
great
a
Majesty
the
Triumviri
who
divided
the
World
on
the
river
Lavino
,
Then
Felsina
was
silent
,
and
departing
with
her
train
,
by
the
Masters
of
the
Camp
,
three
squadrons
were
brought
in
,
the
one

:
every
one
of
them
extravagantly
attired
,
walked
softly
o're
the
field
,
accompanied
by
two
sticklers
,
and
two
Cavaliers
all
in
armour
for
the
tilting
to
follow
of
one
against
another
.
Their
plumes
,
and
the
crests
of
their
helmets
were
high
,
made
of
several
pretious
feathers
,
which
augmented
the
beauty
and
pompe
of
the
shew
.
The
first

two
sticklers
aforesaid
,
the
Counts
Luigi

,
whose

and
Caesar
Hanibal
,
Marsilli
,
and
which
Cavaliers
were
of
the
most
noble
and
most
eminent
Families
of
that
City
.
These
three
Spectators
having
severally
reverenc't
the
Queen
,
ran
at
the
ring
,
breaking
above
130.
lances
with
a
generall
acclamation
of
the
people
.
This
operation
being
ended
,
they
began
the
encounter
of
two
Cavaliers
of
each
squadron
;
of
the
first
were
the
Counts

Bentivoglio
and

,
every
one
of
which
ran
five
lances
a
piece
with
such
courage
and
sprightlinesse
,
that
all
the
spectators
commended
them
extreamly
.
After
this
all
the
the
Squadrons
reduced
themselves
into
a
semicircle
,
made
low
reverences
to
her
Majesty
,
and
gave
her
many
thankes
,
for
the
honour
she
had
done
them
with
her
presence
,
who
seemed
to
be
highly
contented
.
In
her
Majesties
returne
to
her
lodgings
,
she
passing
that
night
through
the
publick
roomes
of
the
Magistrates
of
the
City
,
who
are
called

,
saw
●he
picture
of
Pollio
done
by
the
famous
Painter
Guido
Reni
of
Bologna
,
with
the
picture
of
the
Protectors
of
the
City
,
which
pleased
her
so
much
,
she
desired
to
see
them
again
.
The
honours
done
her
Majesty
by
the
Legate
,
and
all
those
Cavaliers
,
were
very
remarkable
,
as
well
for
the
order
,
as
magnificence
.
The
best
wits
of
the
City
,
omitted
not
to
contribute
abundantly
to
that
entertainment
.
The
Cardinal
Legate
discoursed
very
seriously
with
her
Majesty
,
who
seemed
highly
satisfied
with
him
,
and
among
other
things
represented
to
her
,
that
in
Rome
,
as
a
great
City
,
and
abounding
with
all
Nations
,
she
might
see
different
persons
,
and
given
as
well
to
vertue
,
as
to
vice
,
for
as
the
first
are
apt
to
make
use
of
the
means
,
which
they
think
will
most
advance
their
pretensions
,
so
on
the
other
side
,
the
number
is
so
great
of
the
good
,
and
exemplary
in
their
holy
operations
,
that
her
Majesty
might
have
her
minde
disposed
both
for
pity
and
edification
.

The

meat
from
the
hands
of
twelve
Gentlemen
that
assisted
at
the
table
.
At
dinner
her
Majesty
had
continuall
discourse
with
the
Cardinall
,
which
was
mixed
with
such
a
Carriage
and
gravity
,
that
she
swerving
not
at
all
from
the
State
of
a
Queen
,
shewed
evidently
,
how
much
she
was
pleased
with
his
Eminences
behaviour
,
an
Academy
in
the
mean
time
being
prepared
,
to
entertain
her
Majesty
in
the
exercises
,
which
as
more
peculiar
to
her
most
refined
understanding
,
might
with
a
more
relishing
change
,
make
her
pass
from
the
food
of
her
body
to
the
aliment
of
her
minde
.
In
this
Academy
,
Francis
Rossetti
,
who
with
a
rare
phancy
introducing
musique
,
silence
,
and
poesy
,
to
sing
the
Queenes
glories
,
was
no
less
harmonious
to
the
eare
,
than
delightfull
to
the
intellect
,
but
it
was
not
effected
,
for
instead
of
abiding
there
that
night
,
the
Queen
would
continue
her
journey
,
so
as
she
rising
from
the
table
,
after
a
short
stay
in
her
Chamber
,
went
to
visit
the
Cathedrall
with
a
singular
example
of
piety
,
which
,
thowgh
it
might
well
appear
naked
,
even
in
the
fight
of
so
great
a
Princess
,
in
being
the
designe
of
the
famous
Architect
Bramante
,
yet
was
all
adorned
with
silke
,
with
such
a
rare
mixture
of
colours
,
that
it
cleerly
shewed
its
joy
,
in
receiving
within
the
compass
of
its
walls
,
whom
the
vastness
of
a
Kingdome
was
not
able
to
containe
.
The
Queen
coming
out
of
the
Cathedrall
,
went
again
into
his
Holinesses
Coach
,
carrying
with
her
the
Cardinall
to
the
confines
of
that
Territory
,
towards
which
she
advanced
in
pursuance
of
her
journey
,
about
two
houres
before
night
,
having
left
imprinted
in
the
minds
of
each
one
,
high
conceits
of
her
most
excellent
qualities
.
The
Queen
seemed
highly
pleased
with
this
Cardinall
,
who
had
,
besides
his
learning
,
and
knowledg
,
in
the
affaires
of
the
world
,
all
the
prerogatives
peculiar
to
a
Gentleman
well
bred
.
He
is

Francis
Barberino
,
nephew
to

,
in
order
to
his
preferment
,
of
the
following
tenor
.
The
troubles
of
our
Countrey
,
and
of
Christendome
will
have
a
short
truce
,
that
I
among
so
many
disgusts
,
may
have
some
time
to
breath
,
seeing
your
Eminences
great
labours
reward●d
with
the
Purple
,
God
be
pleased
with
the
tranquillity
of
Italy
,
to
open
to
the
way
,
that
by
your
continuall
paines
,
he
may
grant
the
same
to
all
of
the
Catholique
Religion
,
and
that
by
your
endeavours
,
your
toylings
,
and
dangers
,
not
unknown
to
the
world
,
it
may
again
flourish
in
the
land
of
great
Brittaine
,
to
the
end
this
d●gnity
deserved
so
well
by
you
,
may
not
be
deprived
of
the
happy
effects
your
Eminence
hath
desired
,
and
cooperated
on
your
part
for
the
publique
good
.
And
I
humbly
Kiss
your

When

the
Coach
,
and
complemented
her

The

,
and
welcomed
with
many

of
Ordnance
and
Muskets
,
alighted
at
the
Dome
,
where
the
Legat
expected
her

who
in

went
the
shortest

She
descended
at
the

before
the

,
and
Kneeling
on
a

prepared
for

Kissed
reverently
the

,
and

,
under
a
Canopy
carried
by
the

of
the
City
,
while
the
clergy
,
that

,
began
the
usuall
Anthem
,
She
is
beautifull
&c.
Which
ended
,
the
Musitians
sang
Te

with
a
very
rare
consort
of
voyces

instruments
,
which
her

heard
kneeling
,
near

on
a

Cushion
the

Legate
was
kneeling
,
and
a
little
more
distant

,
the
four
Nuntij
and
Spanish
Embassadour
.
When
the
Te

was
ended
,
the
Cardinall
descended
the
steps
of
the
Altar
,
and
gave
the
sollemn
blessing
,
after
which
the
Legate
putting
off
his
cope
waited
on
the
Queen
,
leading
her
by
the

into
the

,
a
very
fair
Company
of
the
principall
Ladies
met
,
and
paid
their
respects
to
her

who
encompassing
her
,
did
reverence
,
and
attend
her
to
her
lodgings
,
whither
the
Cardinall
conducted
them
,
who
taking
his
leave
,
she
was
left
to
her
repose
.
In
the
mean
time
the
artificiall
fire-workes
began
to
Play
in
the
Piazza
,
which
with
admirable
order
,
was
light
all
the
night
,
and
the
streets
too
abounded
with
lights
.
The
same
evening
the
Gentlemen
and
Ladies
had
a

the
Queens

Francis
Maria
,
and
Lodowick
Santinelli
Brothers
,

with
the
Lady
Mary
Camilla
Disploratatii
,
but
because
they
danced
with
their
Cloakes
,
and
their
swords
,
the
Queen
desir'd
them
,
for
her
greater
satisfaction
,
to
lay
them
aside
,
to
the
end
she
might
the
better
observe
them
,
which
accordingly
they
did
,
&
danced
a
galliard
,
which
so
pleased
her
Majesty
,
that
she
seemed
desirous
to
see
them
Dance
the
Canaries
,
so
as
they
with
the
Lady
Emilia
Vrbani
,
performed
it
smoothly
,
and
with
admirable
grace
.
Before
they
began
the
said

Cardinall
Legate

to
whom
it
was
dedicated
)
a

composed
by
Count
Francis
Maria
Santinelli
,
the
greatest
part
of

were
in
praise
of
her

,
who
was
much
taken
with
it
,
and
kindly
accepted
it
,
commending
it
as
the
birth
of
a
great
spirit
,
and
eminent
wit
,
as
it
generally
was
held
:
Her

sup't
afterwards

her
Chamber
,
where
she
heard
most
rare
consorts
of

and

,
which
delighted

that
Church

where
she
heard
the
rare
Musique
of
those
Nunns
,
two
of
which
are
reputed
very
exquisite
.
The
went
afterwards
into
the
Monastery
,
to
the
great
consolation
,
and
extraordinary
content
of
the
Nuns
,
who
could
not
praise
enough

in
her
return
to
the
Palace
,
she
was
introduced
to
behold
some
Academical
and
Comicall
representations
,
the
extravagancy
and
novelty
of
which
pleas'd
wonderfully
the
Genius
and
gust
of
her
Majesty
,
All
the
compositions
were
the
fruits
of
the
wit
,

as
conspicuous
for

where
she
arriv'd
after
the
setting
of
the
Sun
,
in
such
rainy
and
windy
weather
,
that
in
hinder'd
the
volley's
of
Shot
for
her
welcome
to
the
City
.
whose
Gates
,
Walls
and
Streets
abounded
with

She
went
directly
to

was
met
by
the
Ladyes

the
pleasure

After
the
Comedy
she
likewise
desired
to
see
the
agility
of
these
two
Cavaliers

they
shewed
in
vaulting
,
and
their
skilfulness
in
fencing
insomuch
that

vertue
accompany'd

nobility
,
not

disposes

forces
the
minds
of

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

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
.
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
into
the
Sea
,
This
City
is
fortify'd
with
strong
walls
,
which
are
very
well
flank't
,
and
a
Castle
well
built
,
which
seated
on
the
Mountain
,
commands
the
haven
.
The
houses
and
streets
are
somewhat
narrow
,
but
of
very
good
architecture
,
and
industriously
order'd
,
which
make
it
fine
and
beautifull
.
The
Citizens
are
courteous
and
kinde
,
particularly
to
Strangers
,
the
commodity
of
the
Sea
bringing
thither
good
traffique
,
and
all
sorts
of
merchandize
.
The
Queen
was
met
on
the
confines
by
my
Lord
Gentile
the
Governour
of
Loretto
,
The
Queen
arriving
at
the
Gate
of
the
City
,
was
receiv'd
by
the
said
Governor
and
the
Magistrates
,
all
the
Artillery
being
discharg'd
from
the
walls
,
and
the
Muskets
which
were
all
in
rowes
in
the
streets
.
At
the
gate
of
the
Church
she
was
after
the
usuall
manner
receiv'd
by
the
Chapter
,
the
Clergy
and
Bishop
,
On
the
8.
of
December
in
the
morning
she
arising
betimes
went
to
Confession
,
and
heard
Mass
,
being
afterwards
present
at
high
Mass
,
sung
at
the
high
Altar
with
exquisite
musick
.
As
soone
as
it
was
ended
,
This
Princess
could
not
perform
the
vowes
of
her
Christian
generosity
,
with
more
proper
,
and
more
significant
representations
.
'T
was
fit
,
that
if
she
,
be
sure
of
the
true
and
weighty
Kingdom
of
Heaven
,
had
renounced
those
on
Earth
,
should
leave
a
rare
remembrance
of
it
in
those
tokens
of
royalty
,
of
which
she
had
divested
her self
.
And
since
she
had
done
all
for
Christs
sake
,
it
was
likewise
necessary
,
she
should
leave
to
his
mother
,
a
dear
and
pretious
memory
of
it
.
After
this
she
returned
to
her
lodgings
,
and
dined
in
publique
,
to
satisfy
the
curiosity
of
the
people
,
flock't
thither
in
great
throngs
out
of
the
Mark
,
and
the
neighbouring
Countries
.
Count
Ferretti
of
Ancona
presented
the
water
for
her
hands
,
and
the
Lord
Bernard
Spada
,
Cardinall
Spadas
nephew
,
the
napkin
.
Count

arrived
at
Loretto
.
After
dinner
Don
Antonia
della
Cueva
,
with
the
Lady
his
wife
,
arriv'd
there
,
who
as
we
said
before
stai'd
behind
in
Ussulengo
,
by
reason
of
her
sickness
,
being
seen
by
the
Queen
with
a
joy
,
and
content
,
correspondent
to
the
love
she
bare
them
Her
Majesty
went
afterwards
to
the
Sacristy
,
where
she
admired
the
treasure
kept
there
of
the
rich
Presents
made
to
that
house
by
the
religious
Piety
of
severall
Princes
,
and
Gentlemen
.
As
she
pass'd
by
the
great
cupboord
,
in
which
were
the
Scepter
and
Crown
presented
by
her
,
t'
was
open'd
for
her
to
behold
them
,
but
with
her
usuall
generous
modesty
,
she
desir'd
it
might
be
shut
,
she
saying
those
trifles
were
unworthy
to
be
seen
.
When
she
had
seen
the
treasure
,
and
the
rest
of
the
curious
things
there
,
she
return'd
thence
to
her
lodgings
,
where
she
was
entertained
with
Musique
,
and
the
Conversation
of
the
Nuntij
,
supping
privately
afterwards
.
The
content
,
joy
and
tenderness
,
which
her
Majesty
felt
in
that
Sanctuary
,
are
incapable
of
expression
.
These
are
gifts
reserv'd
by
Heaven
,
to
let
vs
understand
,
that
God
alone
with
his
gracious
mercies
can
give
vs
in
this
world
,
a
tast
,
though
it
be
little
,
of
the
sweetness
,
he
instills
into
a
soul
enamoured
of
him
.
In
the
mean
time
his
Holinesse
had
received
the
letter
,
she
had
written
from
Inspruch
,
as
was
said
before
,
so
as
it
being
afterwards
seconded
,
with
the
news
of
the
Acts
of
Piety
,
performed
in
that
place
by
the
Queen
,
his
Beatitude
was
very
much
edified
with
those
demonstrations
.
The
said
letter
was
as
followes
.
Most
Blessed
Father
,
Being
arrived
in
the
end
,
to
what
I
desired
so
much
,
my
reception
into
the
lap
of
our
holy
mother
,
I
have
manifested
to
the
world
,
that
to
obey
your
Holiness
,
I
have
left
with
great
gladness
that
Kingdome
,
where
to
honour
you
,
is
held
an
irremissible
sin
,
and
have
laid
by
all
humane
respect
,
to
make
it
appear
,
I
value
more
the
glory
of
obeying
your
Holiness
,
than
that
of
the
most
deserving
throne
.
I
beseech
your
Holiness
to
receive
me
thus
devested
as
I
am
of
all
greatness
,
with
the
fatherly
and
accustomed
Kindness
,

have
hitherto
been
pleased
to
shew
me
.
I
have
here
nothing
else
,
to
sacrifice
to
the
holy
feet
of
your
Holiness
,
but
my selfe
,
together
with
my
blood
,
and
my
life
,
which
I
offer
to
your
Holiness
with
that
blind
obedience
,
that
is
due
,
beseeching
you
to
be
pleased
to
dispose
so
of
me
,
as
you
shall
judge
best
for
the
Publique
good
of
our
holy
Church
,
to
which
and
to
your
Holiness
,
as
the
onely
and
true
head
of
the
same
,
I
have
dedicated
the
remainder
of
my
life
,
with
a
most
ardent
desire
to
imploy
,
and
spend
it
wholy
to
Gods
greater
glory
.
To
this
end
I
wish
your
Holiness
many
fortunate
yeares
,
which
are
so
necessary
for
the
good
,
and
Common
repose
of
Christianity
,
beseeching
our
Lord
to
conserve
in
your
Holiness
,
the
great
gifts
he
hath
given
you
,
and
to
make
me
so
happy
,
I
may
see
the
long'd
for
day
,
in
which
I
may
fall
at
the
holy
feet
of
your
Holiness
,
which
I
humbly
doe
Kiss
,
entreating
you
to
impart
unto
me
your
holy
,
and
paternall
benediction
&c.
Your

continually
,
the
most
venerable

miraculous

all
Christendome
.
From
the
top
of
this
holy
Mountain
,
the
Queen
was
delighted
in
beholding
,
in
a
very
fine
prospect
,
the
Sea
,
many
Castles
,
and
Townes
built
here
and
there
on
those
Mountaines
and

.
She

bon-fires
and
lights
,

the
weather

her

The

,
At
the
Gate
of
the
City
she
was
met
by
my
Lord
Cucc●ni
Romano
the
Governour
,
and
the
Magistrates
who

twelve
Pages

She

of
that
kind

to
make
their

to
her
Majesty
more
splendidly
appear

&
the
like
too

said
Cities
of
Macerata

Camerino
had
done

the
very
ill

The
content

concourse
of
the
neighbouring
Cities
was
great
,

of
Perugia
,
for
having
the
conveniency
of

so

Queen

Sung
by

one

most
holy
Church
,
and
being
afterwards
saluted
again
,
with
discharging

Canon
&
Mortar-peices
,
she
went
in
her
litter
to
the
Palace
of
the
Signior
Giacobilli
,
appointed
for
her
lodging
,
where
with
her
great

and
royall
affability
,
she
kindly
received
the
dutifull
tribute
paid
devoutly
to
her
by
the
Ladies
,
Her
Majesty
din'd
in
publique
with
the
Cardinall
,
Signior
Marcello
Rondinini
,
the
Cardinalls
Brother
being
her
Cupbearer
,
and
Count
Francis
de
gli
Odoli
,
Count
Angelos
Sonne
the
noble
Cavalier
of
Perug●a
,
her
Sewer
,
and
Count
Sforza
Fiumi
of
Assisi
,
presenting
the
napkin
.
To
express
the
dainty
meats
,
and
exquisite
feast
,
it
may
suffice
to
say
,
they
had
what
the
earth
,
the
air
,
and
the
waters
could
afford
,
that
was
excellent
good
,
and
pretious
.
While
her
Majesty
was
at
table
,
the
Nuntij
,
the
Spanish
Ambassadour
,
with
the
rest
of
the
great
Cavaliers
,
and
eminent
Courtiers
,
were
splendidly
feasted
in
the
Convent
of
Saint
Francis
,
where
ten
appartaments
richly
furnish't
were
prepared
.
When
dinner
was
ended
,
her
Majesty
retir'd
into
her
Chamber
,
and
calling
for
my
Lord
Holstenius
,
who
was
then
return'd
from
Saint
Francis
his
convent
,
told
him
,
she
desired
to
see
once
again
one
by
one
the
triumphs
,
or
statues
of
Sugar
,
with
which
they
had
adorned
the
table
,
which
were
brought
in
all
hast
to
her
Majesty
,
who
admired
the
workmans
invention
and
wit
.
And
since
they
were
so
liked
by
her
,
who
with
her
refin'd
understanding
,
can
discerne
in
each
thing
what
is
beautifull
and
good
,
it
will
not
peradventure
be
displeasing
to
the
reader
,
to
have
a
short
description
of
it
,
without
prejudicing
other
feasts
,
where
tables
set
out
in
this
manner
,
we
omitted
to
describe
,
as
a
thing
too
long
,
and
tedious
peradventure
.
In
another
on
a
round
Pillar
the
Goddess
Pallas
,
who
giving
her
spear
and
helmet
to
a
boy
,
stood
presenting
with
her
right
hand
in
a
reverent
posture
,
a
Crown
to
the
Queen
,
seeming
to
yeild
to
her
the
superiority
in
the
Sciences
.
The
said
Pillar
was
adorned
with
embossed
works
covered
with
gold
,
among
which
were
distributed
four
Harpies
of
counterfeit
brass
.
They
saw
afterwards
a
square
pedestall
adorned
with
gilt
medalls
in
embossed
works
,
and
Time
lying
along
,
on
which
in
a
little
Pillar
stood
Fame
,
who
holding
in
her
left
hand
a
trumpet
,
held
with
the
right
o're
her
head
,
a
meddall
representing
the
Queen
.
She
held
Time
bound
with
a
chain
of
gold
,
who
covered
with
his
robe
many
meddalls
of
Heros
,
and
being
so
bound
,
seem'd
subject
to
the
fame
of
her
Majesty
.
At
the
corners
of
the
pedestall
four
flowers
sprowted
up
in
the
forme
of
a
Pinetree
,
which
budded
our
of
feillage
worke
of
gold
,
whose
artificiall
posture
shew'd
art
had
emulated
nature
.
In
the
midst
of
the
front
of
the
pillar
was
a
meddal
of
the
colour
of
a
rose
limn'd
with
gold
,
with
ornaments
about
it
of
severall
flowers
distributed
with
proportionable
simmetry
.
Then
a
clow'd
was
discover'd
in
another
,
all
resplendent
with
gold
,
on
which
was
extended
the
Chariot
of
the
Sunne
,
which
drawn
by
four
horses
,
was
guided
by
Apollo
,
who
carried
in
his
right
hand
a
bundle
of
gilt
eares
of
corn
,
or'e
which
a
little
Angell
supported
a
Crown
of
gold
,
and
with
the
left
hand
held
the
reyns
of
the
horses
finely
barded
with
ribbands
of
gold
and
silver
,
a
little
boy
going
before
them
in
the
air
with
a
torch
in
his
hand
denoting
the
dawning
of
the
day
.
There
was
besides
another
round
Pillar
,
on
which
a
silver
cliffe
squezed
his
locks
wreathed
with
lawrell
,
the
extremity
of
the
Figure
ending
in
a
rock
,
on
which
grew
a
palm
tree
dilating
it's
boughs
over
it
,
and
was
with
the
left
hand
embraced
by
the
same
,
the
right
hand
pointing
to
the
herbes
it
produces
for
the
service
of
Kings
.
About
the
Pillar
were
carved
four
little
ones
,
where
were
as
many
little
boyes
with
Coronets
of
Cedar
,
within
which
they
discovered
the
leaves
of
the
flowers
sustained
by
the
round
Pillar
,
four
Harpies
of
brass
with
gilt
Spanish
olives
,
and
a
Chaplet
of
gold
in
their
hands
,
presenting
each
a
dish
of
Pomegranates
,
which
afterwards
was
intermixed
with
Pine-apple
kernells
in
a
little
guilded
Chaplet
joyn'd
to
the
feillage
work
of
other
fruites
the
earth
does
produce
,
with
carvings
adorned
with
gold
.
When
her
Majesty
had
seen
and
attentively
gaz'd
on
the
said
triumphs
,
she
said
one
of
them
was
wanting
,
which
the
Cardinall
had
sent
to
my
Lord
Sarvantij
one
of
the
Masters
of
the
ceremonies
to
his
Holiness
,
who
lodged
without
the
palace
,
but
her
Majesty
desiring
to
see
it
,
it
was
quickly
brought
to
her
.
This
represented
Immortality
,
which
on
a
square
Pillar
adorned
with
antique
faces
of
gold
,
held
up
with
her
hands
o're
her
head
a
gilt
circle
,
within
which
was
a
meddall
with
the
Picture
of
her
Majesty
,
as
one
that
had
no
confines
,
but
what
were
assigned
her
by
eternity
.
Three
boyes
stood
distributed
on
the
brims
of
the
dish
,
one
of
which
representing
painting
on
a
table
of
gold
,
made
her
Picture
with
the
pensill
,
the
other
signifying
sculpture
carv'd
her
in
marble
,
and
the
third
denoting
history
with
the
pen
,
made
characters
on
a
book
,
all
three
shewing
joyntly
,
they
were
busie
in
perpetuating
the
name
of
her
Majesty
.
Among
them
were
three
little
vases
,
adorn'd
with
antique
faces
cover'd
over
with
gold
,
which
held
gilt
eares
of
corn
,
and
in
the
space
between
the
boyes
,
and
the
vases
,
flowers
of
Sugar
budded
forth
of
admirable
workmanship
,
all
resting
on
candid
Sugar
,
which
ended
in
a
very
fine
Chaplet
.
The
Queen
took
great
pleasure
in
beholding
these
rare
peices
,
not
because
they
contained
her
prayses
,
whose
modesty
and
generosity
contemnes
all
applause
and
Commendation
,
but
onely
for
the
invention
,
and
excellency
of
the
workmanship
.

the
Prince
of
Gallicano
,
and
many
Gentlemen
.
The
two
Prelates
aforesaid
were
there
expresly
to
assist
in
this
service
the
Cardinall
.
The
Prince
came
from
Rome
on
the
11.
in
the
evening
,
on
purpose
to
waite
on
her
Majesty
,
and
being
himself
lodged
in
the
Palace
of
the
Bishop
,
gave
place
to
her
Majesties
traine
,
and
retiring
into
the
house
of
a
Gentleman
his
friend
met
with
the
opportunity
of
paying
his
respects
to
the
Queen
,
who
received
him
very
courteously
,
having
known
long
before
his
deserving
,
and
eminent
qualities
.
The
Cardinall
having
complemented
her
Majesty
returned
into
his
Coach
,
and
went
before
,
to
be
ready
to
receive
her
in
his
Bishoprick
,
who
before
she
arrived
at
the
gate
,
found
many
thousand
Souldiers
in
squadrons
,
who
saluted
her
with
volleys
of
shot
.
The
Magistrates
appearing
with
the
Pompe
peculiar
to
the
sprightly
inhabitants
of
Spoleto
,
presented
her
Majesty
with
their
humble
respects
at
the
gate
of
the
City
,
who
caused
the
Coach
to
be
stop't
,
and
kindly
received
them
.
Diverse
Arch
triumphalls
were
erected
in
the
streets
,
which
were
all
adorned
with
Figures
,
Inscriptions
,
and
other
sprightly
Mottos
.
Among
all
the
foresaid
Arches
,
the
remarkablest
was
that
,
which
was
repaired
o're
an
ancient
gate
of
the
City
,
where
besides
the
Inscription
set
there
,
in
honour
of
the
Queen
,
there
was
another

to
the
place
where
Haniball

Carthage
after
the
battail
won
at
Thrasymenus
,
desiring
to
advance
towards
Rome
,
was
put
to
flight
,
whereupon
the
same
gate
retains
to
this
day
the
name
of
the
gate
of
the
flight
.
The
Queen
passed
through
the
Piazza
reduced
into
the
form
of
a
Theater
.
The
circuite
of
the
laterall
Portici
was
enclosed
with
two
great
gates
,
in
each
of
which
were
Inscriptions
,
Mottos
,
&
fine
Figures
.
This
Theater
was
made
at
the
charge
of
the
Gentlemen
of
the
City
,
incited
by
the
generous
example
of
the
Cardinall
,
who
first
of
all
contributed
to
the
worke
.
They
did
it
supposing
the
Queen
would
have
come
thither
by
night
,
the
better
to
see
the
fireworkes
,
which
were
plac't
upon
it
,
and
played
the
same
evening
.
On
the
great
gates
of
the
Theater
were
the
Arms
of
the
Queen
,
with
severall
Mottos
of
the
Kingdom
of
Swedland
,
on
the
one
side
her
Majesty
,
and
on
the
other
the
King
her
Father
,
both
on
horseback
.
The
Queen
being
entered
the
Palace
of
the
Bishop
,
The
subject
represented
Faith
triumphing
,
which
having
sent
three
Persons
to
Sing
the
Queens
Prayses
,
appeared
at
last
inviting
her
to
enter
into
the
little
ship
of
St.

.
The
Queen
with
some

her
Domestiques

,
and
the

distributed
in
severall
private
houses
,
in
every
one
of
which
were
Gentlemen
of
the
City
deputed
to
their
service
.
The
direction
of
these
lodgings
was
committed
to
the
care
of
Signior
Joseph
Pallettonio
,
a
Gentleman
of
much
spirit
and
active
,
with
the
assistance
of
whom
,
and
the
Signior
Vincent
Pianciani
Treasurer
of
Perugia
,
and
Nicholas
Benedetti
Treasurer
of
Spoleto
,
all
things
were
performed
with
good
order
,
and
punctuality
.
On
the
15th
.
in
the
Morning
her
Majesty
attended
by
the
Cardinall
,
the
Nuntij
,
the
Ambassadours
,
Prelates
,
Princes
,
and
all
the
Nobility
,
went
to
the
Cathedrall
to
hear
Mass
,
When
Mass
was
ended
,
she
returned
to
the
Palace
,
and
dined
in
publique
with
the
Cardinall
Signior
Maffeo
Rosari
Master
of
the
Camp
of
the
Province
,
and
Gentleman
of
the
City
,
presented
her
the
napkin
,
Her
Majesty
resolved
to
goe
after
dinner
to
the
Church
of
the
Dominicans
,
to
see
many
reliques
,
and
particularly
the
holy
naile
of
our
Saviour
,
but
the
great
snow
hindered
all
.
On
Wednesday
in
the
evening
her
Majesty
was
pleased
to
goe
to
the
Town-house
and
hear
there
a
play
Sung
in
musique
by
some
young
Gentlemen
of
the
City
,
with
severall
machines
&
changes
of
Scenes
.
The
Citizens
of
Spoleto
endeavour'd
to
welcome
this
great
Queen
,
with
all
the
expressions
of
gladness
and
joy
,
and
though
to
comply
with
the
genius
of
the
Prince
,
the
subjects
sometimes
use
to
turn
the
sincerest
,
and
purest
affection
into
flattery
,
yet
in
this
occasion
,
the
people
of
Spoleto
very
fully
corresponded
with
their
naturall
ingenuity
,
as
well
with
a
dutifull
respect
,
to
second
the
good
intention
of
his
Holiness
,
as
to
shew
the
partiality
of
their
ancient
inclinations
towards
this
Princesses
great
name
.
Those
of
Spoleto
,
as
the
histories
of
greatest
credit
,
report
,
are
nobly
descended
,
and
happily
propagated
of
the
reliques
of
the
Goths
,
who
after
the
fall
of
their
Kingdome
in
Italy
remained
in
Spoleto
,
as
a
City
very
nobly
adorned
,
and
augmented
by
Theodorick
their
King
.
And
albeit
the
hostility
of
Totilas
may
diminish
,
much
less
renew
afterwards
,
the
least
sense
of
gratitude
,
yet
the
piety
,
and
other
sublime
qualities
of
this
Queen
,
are
advantagiously
sufficient
to
repair
very
fully
whatsoever
,
the
deadly
remembrance
of
the
cruelties
of
that
King
,
had
demolished
,
and
restore
with
ample
recompence
the
memory
of
the
benefits
,
this
Countrey
so
glories
to
have
had
from
the
North.

Civalcata
of
the
Legates
advanced
,
which
for
the
great
quality
,
and
condition
of
the
Persons
there
present
,
and
the
rich
cloathes
,
and
liveries
,
with
which
they
appear'd
,
was
extreamly
remarkable
,
and
commendable
.
It
reached
from
the
Palace
of
the
Medici
aforesaid
,
200.
paces
without
the
gate
of
the
people
,
where
they
leaving
,
their
horses
took
Coach
.
Three
trumpets
,
and
a
tabour
preceded
,
with
the
led
horses
of
Captain
Corradino
,
at
the
head
of
a
hundred
Cuirassiers
well
mounted
and
armed
,
with
his
sword
in
his
hand
.
Five
trumpets
followed
after
,
and
a
tabour
of
the
Cardinall
Landgrave
,
with
Cassocks
of
Scarlet
fringed
with
thick
broad
lists
of
azure
velvet
border'd
on
both
sides
with
rich
trimming
of
silver
,
which
in
that
mixture
of
the
red
and
skie
colour
made
the
shew
very
handsome
,
especially
by
the
waving
of
the
thick
plumes
on
their
heads
,
which
enriched
their
haire
,
and
their
shoulders
.
After
these
came
the
trumpets
of
the
Cardinall
de
Medici
,
who
had
likewise
Cassocks
of
fine
cloth
of
Cinnamon
colour
,
all
trimmed
with
thick
twists
of
gold
,
which
about
twilight
cast
a
mervellous
lustre
.
The
eyes
of
the
spectators
were
greatly
allured
,
with
the
appearance
of
a
numerous
,
and
noble
Company
of
Pages
on
high
metalled
coursers
,
trapped
with
rich
furniture
of
gold
and
silver
,
and
sutable
valizes
.
The
pages
,
besides
their
cloths
trimmed
all
over
with
gold
,
had
either
their
doublets
of
cloth
of
gold
,
or
embroyder'd
with
rich
branched
work
.
Four
trumpets
of
his
Holiness
followed
after
,
with
red
Casocks
listed
with
gold
,
and
about
seventy
Knights
of
the
train
of
the
Cardinall
Legates
,
who
with
their
sumptuous
cloaths
,
and
noble
aspects
,
gave
lustre
to
all
the
retinue
.
Among
these
were
confusedly
mingled
,
without
any
order
of
precedence
,
the
Dukes
Salviati
,
Lanti
,
and
Mattei
,
the
Marquisses
Nari
,
Corsini
,
Tarquinius
Santa
Croce
,
and
Patricii
.
The
Lords
Paul
Francis
Falconteri
,
Baron
Mattei
,
the
Counts
Prainer
,
Slavata
,
Sciaffcutz
,
and
Tilli
,
and
Cavalier
Passionei
,
these
particular
camerads
of
the
Cardinall
Legates
,
with
many
servants
richly
apparrelled
.
Near
these
,
on
two
generous
steeds
came
the
Legates
,
with
their
usuall
Cardinalls
habits
,
of
Purple
waved
tabby
,
and
red
hats
on
their
heads
,
who
gracefull
,
and
most
affable
,
with
a
seriousness
and
sweetness
in
their
faces
,
made
their
Majestique
gravity
resplendent
,
which
induced
every
one
to
a
reverence
,
and
obsequiousness
.
The
Marquiss
Rinuncini
,
and
Cavalier
Baldeschi
the
masters
of
their
Chambers
,
with
Sgnior
Carlo
Carcarasio
the
Second
master
of
the
ceremonies
to
the
Pope
,
went
before
them
,
in
the
midst
of
whom
was
Cavalier
Bellarmini
the
Captain
of
the
guard
to
his
Holiness
.
After
the
Legates
came
the
troop
of
light
horsemen
of
his
Holiness
,
armed
with
cuirasses
,
but
without
lances
,
with
Cassocks
of
red
cloth
fringed
with
gold
.
The
Legates
coming
out
of
the
gate
of
the
people
,
took
Coach
,
as
the
Cavaliers
likewise
did
that
were
with
them
,
the
Pages
,
and
footmen
,
and
pursued
their
journey
.
Each
of
the
Cardinalls
had
five
sumptuous
Coaches
with
six
horses
apeice
,
the
Coachmen
and
grooms
which
were
many
,
having
liveries
like
the
Pages
,
and
trumpetters
.
Before
the
Legates
Coach
,
went
a
Coach
with
the
masters
of
the
Chambers
,
and
another
came
after
them
full
of
noble
Prelates
,
being
followed
by
thirty
others
with
six
horses
a
peice
,
all
rich
and
splendid
,
belonging
to
the
Princes
,
Cavaliers
,
Prelates
,
and
Gentlemen
with
forty
others
with
4
horses
a
peice
.
At
the
Inne
called
la
Storta
eight
mile
off
,
they
found
Don
Antonio
della
Cueva
,
her
Majesties
great
Master
of
the
horse
,
accompanied
by
many
Gentlemen
,
with
the
Coaches
of
the
Queen
.
He
complemented
the
Legates
,
who
went
into
her
Majesties
Coach
made
after
the
Dutch
fashion
,
covered
with
crimson
velvet
fringed
with
gold
,
in
which
they
arrived
at
Olgiata
,
a
mile
beyond
the
said
Inne
.
The
Queen
at
the
entrance
into
the
gate
,
came
down
to
the
foot
of
the
staires
,
with
wonderfull
courtesy
and
kindness
,
receiving
the
Legates
,
and
with
so
much
honour
,
than
it
may
well
be
said
,
this
was
a
true
argument
of
her
piety
,
and
veneration
towards
the
Vicar
of
Christ
,
the
holy
Sea
,
and
the
Sacred
Apostolicall
Colledg
.
In
the
midst
of
the
said
Legates
she
ascended
to
her
lodgings
,
where
they
complemented
her
in
the
name
of
his
Holiness
,
in
order
to
their
instructions
.
Her
Majesty
accepted
the
favour
,
with
all
the
terms
of
reverence
and
esteem
towards
his
Holiness
,
by
declaring
herself
most
highly
obliged
to
the
Pope
,
for
the
many
great
honours
he
had
done
her
.
It
was
somewhat
late
,
and
therefore
without
further
stay
,
the
Queen
,
and
the
Legates
descended
,
and
went
all
three
into
his
Holinesses
Coach
,
sent
thither
for
that
purpose
,
her
Majesty
sitting
alone
,
and
the
Legates
together
.
The
Queen
was
clad
plainly
in
grey
,
with
a
hongerlin
,
and
black
scarfe
on
her
shoulders
,
instead
of
a
band
,
without
any
ornament
of
Gold
,
Silver
,
Jewells
,
Ribbonds
,
or
Flowers
which
she
alwaies
had
abhor'd
,
as
a
vain
and
idle
thing
,
one
little
Ring
on
her
Finger
,
being
all
the
adorning
she
had
.
But
with
her
sprightly
carriage
,
and
masculine
and
majestick
aspect
,
she
discovered
the
greatness
of
her
birth
,
and
the
qualities
of
her
rare
and
vertuous
Prerogatives
.
She
hath
a
very
quick
and
nimble
body
,
and
is
in
her
gestures
and
motion
most
comely
and
gracious
,
of
a
proportionable
stature
,
a
fresh
colour
,
and
royall
features
.
And
since
her
cheekes
are
careless
of
the
deckings
of
roses
and
lilies
,
her
most
comely
face
darts
lightning
from
her
eyes
,
as
which
,
never
nature
made
any
so
lively
and
resplendent
.
She
hath
a
high
forehead
,
and
spatious
,
with
a
fine
and
pleasing
mouth
,
her
haire
seeming
curled
and
browne
.
Her
Majesty
is
supported
with
modesty
,
and
her
sprightliness
and
smiling
with
gravity
,
she
having
above
all
things
a
grace
so
attractive
,
which
together
with
the
heart
,
forces
praises
,
and
applauses
.
She
eats
not
much
,
drinkes
little
,
and
almost
continually
water
.
She
sleeps
but
five
hours
,
and
studies
for
the
most
part
,
the
books
of
Plato
,
ancient
Histories
,
good
Latine
Poets
,
and
the
sacred
Scriptures
being
the
Soul
of
her
Majesties
entertainments
.
She
hates
mortally
idleness
,
and
is
adorned
with
so
many
vertues
,
that
every
Queen
may
easily
envie
her
,
but
very
hardly
imitate
her
.
She
is
of
a
great
and
generous
minde
,
but
her
solid
goodness
hath
nothing
else
to
equall
it
,
but
the
glory
of
her
great
thoughts
,
and
incomparable
resolutions
.
She
arrived
in
Rome
after
two
hours
in
the
night
,
accompanyed
by
the
light
of
an
infinite
number
of
Torches
.
She
came
in
at
the
gate
Pertusa
,
where
she
was
met
by
the
Captain
of
the
Dutch-men
,
with
many
of
the
Switzers
of
his
Holinesses
Guard
,
who
attended
on
her
afterwards
.
She
alighted
at
the
Vatican
on
the
side
of
the
Garden
of
Belvedere
,
where
by
my
Lord
Farnese
the
Popes
Steward
,
and
his
Holinesses
domestick
Prelates
,
she
was
met
and
received
at
the
foot
of
the
stairs
in
the
plain
of
the
Garden
,
whence
her
Majesty
was
conducted
to
her
appartament
,
which
was
most
richly
furnisht
with
all
things
.
The
people
flockt
thither
in
such
throngs
,
that
they
filled
the
very
rooms
that
were
above
,
and
the
Queen
beholding
such
a
multitude
,
said
pleasantly
jesting
,
Use
they
thus
,
to
enter
privately
into
Rome
,
She
no
sooner
had
rested
a
little
,
but
she
sent
Don
Antonio
della
Cueva
to
desire
audience
of
his
Holiness
,
who
speedily
dispatched
to
her
my
Lord
Bonvili
the
Master
of
his
Chamber
,
a
Prelate
of
great
quality
,
attended
by
all
of
the
Privy
Chamber
,
and
severall
other
Gentlemen
.
At
the
head
of
the
Gregorian
Gallery
he
met
the
Queen
,
who
was
coming
in
hast
between
the
two
Cardinall
Legates
,
where
he
complemented
her
Majesty
in
the
name
of
the
Pope
,
who
returning
the
civility
with
all
due
respect
,
went
on
towards
his
Holinesses
lodgings
,
many
of
the
Popes
train
going
before
.
As
she
passed
along
through
so
many
Lodgings
,
Chambers
and
Galleries
,
all
illuminated
with
Torches
,
she
admiring
the
vastness
of
that
great
habitation
,
said
,
that
short
delay
was
more
troublesome
to
her
,
than
all
the
journey
she
had
gone
,
since
her
Majesty
desired
nothing
more
,
than
the
time
to
see
his
Holiness
.
When
she
came
to
the
Popes
anti-Chamber
,
the
door
was
set
wide
open
,
and
stood
in
that
manner
,
all
the
while
she
remained
with
his
Holiness
.
At
the
entrance
into
the
Chamber
,
where
his
Holiness
expected
her
(
my
Lord
Fibei
the
chief
Master
of
the
Ceremonies
instructing
her
so
to
do
)
She
kneeled
the
first
time
,
then
the
second
,
and
the
third
time
with
her
hands
acrosse
on
her
breast
,
and
her
eyes
on
the
ground
,
kissed
first
the
foot
,
and
afterwards
the
hand
of
his
Holiness
,
who
intimating
with
a
smile
an
act
of
the
kindest
reception
,
becken'd
quickly
to
her
with
his
hand
she
should
rise
,
which
no
sooner
she
had
done
,
but
she
sate
down
on
a
royall
Chaire
,
the
Cushion
and
Leaner
being
of
Crimson
Velvet
,
and
sumptuously
adorned
with
Gold
.
They
discoursed
but
little
,
for
his
Holiness
supposing
she
was
weary
with
her
journey
,
cut
off
the
entertainment
,
and
her
Majesty
returned
to
her
appartament
.
His
Holiness
afterwards
to
shew
her
the
greater
respect
,
assigned
her
four
Cavaliers
,
all
his
Chamberlains
of
honour
,
to
the
end
they
might
continually
be
assistant
in
her
Majesties
anti
Chamber
,
which
were
Signior
Dominick
Jacovacci
a
Gentleman
of
Rome
of
known
prudence
,
and
excellent
behaviour
,
Horatius
Marquis
Spada
the
deserving
nephew
of
Cardinall
Bernard
Spada
Bishop
of
Altano
,
James
Mignanelli
a
Gentleman
likewise
of
Rome
,
and
the
Marquis
Bevilacqua
of
Ferrara
,
whose
nobility
is
equall
to
the
qualities
of
his
minde
.
Besides
these
his
Holinesse
likewise
ordered
,
that
five
of
his
demy-lance
men
should
every
day
wait
by
turns
on
her
Majesty
,
to
wit
,
Captain
John
Leo
of
Piperno
,
Guido
Baldo
Ponti
of
Perugia
,
the
Sergeant
Major
Andrew
Paolini
of
V●terbo
,
and
the
Captains
Anthony
Fracassi
of
Cesena
,
and
Marcus
Chi●fa
of
Candia
,
all
Persons
of
worth
and
valour
,
who
executed
their
places
very
well
.
The
following
morning
the
Queen
arose
betimes
,
as
she
used
to
do
,
and
went
into
the
Garden
,
where
she
walked
with
my
Lord
Acarigi
his
Holinesses
Cupbearer
,
still
speaking
French
to
him
.
She
desired
to
see
the
Coach
,
the
litter
,
and
chaire
the
Pope
had
given
her
,
which
were
soone
brought
to
her
,
and
with
them
came
Cavalier
Bernino
the
inventour
of
the
designe
of
the
figures
adorning
them
.
Count
Raymund
Montecuccoli
there
present
,
desired
the
Queen
to
take
notice
of
the
Figures
which
supported
the
Coach-box
,
adding
that
they
were
the
designe
of
Cavalier
Bernino
.
The
Queen
turn'd
about
to
contemplate
them
,
and
the
Cavalier
very
modestly
told
her
Majesty
,
if
there
was
any
thing
that
was
amiss
,
't
was
his
doing
.
The
Queen
at
these
words
turning
about
,
very
gracefully
replyed
,
then
you
have
done
nothing
there
.
Then
causing
the
horse
to
be
brought
,
which
his
Holiness
had
given
her
,
she
rode
him
with
a
foot-cloth
,
and
without
,
and
turning
and
winding
him
here
and
there
,
made
every
one
admire
her
dexterity
and
comeliness
,
she
making
all
good
,
which
fame
had
delivered
before
,
that
there
was
none
in
Swedland
could
mannage
a
Steed
better
than
her
,
nor
sit
him
better
in
his
full
Carrieer
,
of
which
the
King
of
Spain
being
curious
,
desired
to
see
her
painted
in
that
action
.
And
indeed
she
is
so
franck
,
and
dexterous
in
this
,
that
if
she
had
another
Bucephalus
,
she
would
tame
him
as
well
as
an
Alexander
.
Her
Majesty
went
afterwards
with
my
Lord
Holstenius
to
see
the
Vatican
Library
,
and
likewise
his
owne
,
which
was
fine
and
rare
,
and
gave
her
great
content
.
The
day
after
about
23.
hours
she
went
again
in
a
chaire
to
the
Pope
,
with
whom
she
remained
(
the
dores
standing
open
)
above
an
hour
.
On
Wednesday
in
the
morning
,
the
solemn
Cavalcata
should
have
been
,
but
it
was
deferred
till
the
following
day
,
all
the
things
not
being
in
order
.
In
the
mean
time
his
Holiness
went
in
a
chaire
,
to
see
her
in
her
appartament
,
who
no
sooner
heard
of
it
,
but
ran
a
great
pace
through
some
Chambers
to
meet
him
,
at
whose
feet
she
soone
fell
downe
with
great
humility
,
but
he
causing
her
to
rise
,
and
they
going
into
the
Chamber
,
they
walked
up
and
downe
discoursing
together
,
the
Portalls
being
up
.
When
his
Holiness
departed
,
her
Majesty
accompanied
him
to
his
chaire
,
into
which
he
being
entered
,
the
Queen
with
her
owne
hands
endeavoured
to
shut
it
,
as
she
did
other
acts
of
humility
,
and
obsequiousness
,
though
his
Holiness
had
often
dismissed
her
with
his
blessing
,
she
freely
confessing
,
she
never
had
felt
herself
awaken'd
to
more
reverence
,
than
in
seeing
the
Majesty
of
the
Pope
.
The
two
dayes
they
spent
in
musick
,
singing
,
and
other
royall
entertainments
,
in
which
no
cost
was
spared
by
the
magnanimous
Pope
.
The
said
solemn
Cavalcata
was
ordered
on
Thursday
after
dinner
,
of
which
the
Masters
of
the
Ceremonies
had
the
direction
.
The
shops
were
shut
that
day
,
and
the
Tradesmen
commanded
not
to
worke
,
which
every
one
obeyed
very
willingly
,
veneration
and
curiosity
calling
all
to
so
noble
a
spectacle
.
And
as
a
Princes
actions
should
still
be
great
,
and
elevated
,
so
the
Pope
omitted
nothing
,
that
might
make
this
Function
remarkable
.
Count
David
Vidman
,
a
Nobleman
of
Venice
,
brother
to
the
Cardinall
of
this
name
,
and
Sergeant
Major
Generall
of
the
battaile
,
had
the
charge
to
give
the
orders
,
which
he
thought
in
his
prudence
most
convenient
,
to
honour

the

,
dispersed
the

in
a
moment
,
chased
away
the

,
and
brought
back
the
Sun
,
that
he
might
be
likewise
assistant

All

they

the
courtesie
of
this
so
great
Princess
,

scattering
like

Sun
,
the
light
of
her
favours
,
makes
all
that

her
,
pay
tribute
to
her
affability
.

who

,
a
true
mark
of
the
masculine
mind
of
this
Princess
,
who
as
she
does
not
captivate
it
to
the
flatteries
of
effeminate
vanities
,
so
makes
it
appear
,
great
Princes
are
not
famous
for
the
lustre
of
their
bravery
,
but
the
splendour
of
their
actions
.
This
great
Queen
went
in
the
midst
of
her
guard
of
Swissers
all
covered
with
white
arms
,
with
such
a
grace
,
and
daringnes
,
that
like
a
victorious
Generall
of
Armies
,
and
conquered
Provinces
,
she
seem'd
,
among
so
great
a
multitude
of
people
,
to
go

with

in

subdued
the
minds
of
all

her

sprightly
Coursers
.
After
her

Coaches
,
came
three

Prince
Panfilio
,
which
were
very
splendid
,
and
one
among
the

as
noble
and
Majestique

as
could
be
devised
,
it
being
all
of

that
convent
,
the
roaring
of
which
was
answered
by
all
▪
with
an
Echo
of
Prayses
,
and
blessings
.
As
she
passed
through
,
so
many
peopl
who
were
more
desirous
to
see
her
,
than
curious
to
contemplate
the
pompe
of
the
Cavalcata
,
she
saluted
every
one
with
so
cheerfull
a
countenance
,
and
a
carriage
so
tempered
with
decorum
,
and
courtesy
,
that
she
made
it
appear
,
she
could
not
stirre
a
foot
,
but
't
was
measured
with
the
compass
of
her
vertue
.
She
often
turn'd
her self
to

She

where
his

Her

,
went

in
Fonte
,
where

,
and
thence
went

,
accompanied

St.
James
of
the
Spaniards
.
The
Morning

had
been
at
the
Church
of
St.
James
of
the
Spaniards
in
Piazza
Navona
,
where
the
feast
was
kept
of
the
said
Saints
translation
.
At
the
staires
of
the
Church
they
found
the
two
Spanish
Abassadours
,
the
Duke
of
Terranuova
and
Don
Antonio
Pimentell
,
who
received
and
accompanied
her

the
high
Altar
,
which
was
richly

.
Don
Francesco
de
Vides
,
and
Don
Diego
di
Caravachal
Overseers
of
the
said
Church
,
and
Persons
of
great
quality
,
met
her
Majesty
at
the
gate
,
which
was
decked
with
cloth
of
gold
of
great
value
.
In
the
great
chappell
was
erected
a
Pavilion
in
the
forme
of
a
little
Chamber
,
which
served
for
a
cloth
of
state
,
where
her
Majesty
heard
Mass
,
which
was
celebrated
by
my
Lord
Sersale
,
the
Bishop
of
Bari
,
a
Neopolitan
Gentleman
,
after
which
she
went

the
Church
,
observing
the
remarkablest
things
.
She
taking
Coach
afterwards
with
Don
Antonio
Pimentel
,
and
Don
Antonio
della
Cueva
,
being
followed
by
the
Duke
of
Terranuova
,
and
the
train
,
went
round
the
Piazza
Navona
,
to
see
the
fine
fountain
built
there
by
Pope
Innocent
the
tenth
of
happy
memory
.
The
greatness
and
beauty
of
this
structure
exceeds
all
in
Rome
of
this
kind
.
It
represents
a
very
craggy
rock
,
on
the
summit
of
which
is
erected
a
fair
pyramid
.
At
the
four
corners
sit
four
Colóssusses
representing
the
principall
rivers
of
the
four
parts
of
the
world
.
From
these
cliffes
flow
divers
streams
of
water
,
which
fall
into
a
great
marble
cisterne
,
in
the
midst
of
which
all
the
Machine
is
seated
.
The
design
of
the
work
is
of
the
renowned
Cavalier
Sir
Laurence
Bernini
,
whose
Carving
Iron
gives
life
to
the
marbles
themselves
,
which
return
him
the
eternall
applauses
of
glory
.
The
water
brought
thither
,
is
part
of
that
which
comes
from
the
great
fountain
of
Trevi
,
the
most
wholesome
of
Rome
,
which
emulating
the
happiness
of
this
,
sighs
one
day
to
see
finisht
the
designs
begun
by
the
artificer
himself
.
Her
Majesty
saw
likewise
the
beautifull
Palace
with
the
Church
in
the
form
of
the
Rotonda
,
erected
by
the
foresaid

Gosviri
Nickel
,
who
was
accompanied
by
the
fathers
the
Assistents
,
and
all
the
gravest
fathers
,
not
onely
of
the
house
of
the
professed

but
of
the
other
places
,
which
they
have
in
Rome
.
Being
entered
the
house
,
she
first
of
all
went
up
into
the
Domestique
Chappell
of
St.
Ignatius
,
which
is
the
same
roome
,
where
he
lived
,
and
died
,
where
she
honoured
the
remembrance
of
that
Saint
,
and
saw
the
riches
,
and
beautifull
ornaments
answearable
to
that
place
.
From
thence
she
was
conducted
to
the
closet
,
towards
the
high
Altar
,
whence
she
might
see
all
the
Church
,
and
the
very
great
multitude
of
people
,
that
were
there
,
but
because
from
that
place
she
could
not
hear
very
well
the
Musique
,
with
which
they
then
sollemnly
Sung
the
Vespers
,
she
went
to
another
place
,
more
commodious
and
capacious
,
which
had
been
adorned
before
with
rich
Damasks
&
Velvets
,
and
accommodated
in
that
manner
,
that
before
the
place
,
where
the
Queen
stood
with
some
few
,
there
was
a
little
quire
somewhat
bigger
,
which
served
for
an
anti-chamber
.
The
Queen
remained
here
till
Vespers
were
done
,
feeding
both
her
eyes
,
with
the
noble
and
splendid
furniture
,
with
which
the
high
Altar
was
adorned
,
and
her
eares
with
the
excellent
Musique
,
which
was
made
in

Bonifacio
Graziani
the
Master
of
the
Chappell
of
that
Church
,
and
a
Person

When

,
her

having
highly
been
pleased
with
the
dutifull
attendance
of
those
Fathers
,
and
tasted

Her

reverence
the
habitation
of
St.

of
Rome
,
and
diverse
bodies
of
the
Saints
kept

Before

,
in
which
was
prepared
a
noble
collation
of
sweet-meats
,

Ladies
use

Having

contended
she
had
seen
such
a
beautifull
,
and
regular
Fortress
,
returned
from
thence
to
her
Palace
,
being
saluted
at
her
going
away
,
first
by
the
Muskets
of
the
squadron
aforesaid
,
and
afterwards
by
all
the
Mortar-peices
,
and
Artillerie
,
at
her
entrance
into
the
Castle
.
The
first
Court
of
this
Castle
is
quadrangular
,
and
built
with
much
industry
,
in
the
midst
of
which
is
a
machine
,
or
round
mole
of
great
height
and
largeness
.
This
Fabrick
is
very
ancient
,
being
built
by
Elius
Adrianus
the
Emperour
,
and
therefore
it
was
alwaies
call'd
Adrians
mole
,
till
it
was
chang'd
into
the
title
of
St.
Angelo
,
by
reason
the
Arck-Angell
Michaell
was
seen
on
the
top
of
it
,
to
put
his
bloody
sword
into
the
scabberd
,
just
as
St.
Gregory
,
accompany'd
by
the
Clergie
and
people
of
Rome
,
passed
by
there
to
go
to
St.
Peters
.
Pope
Urbane
the
eighth
of
glorious
memory
,
fortify'd
it
with
several
regular
bulwarks
,
ditches
,
and
rampards
,
and
divers
commodious
Fabricks
for
the
Souldiers
of
the
Garrison
,
having
besides
erected
there
a
store-house
for
Arms
,
and
Artillery
.
In
the
Tower
of
this
Castle
is
the
old
treasurie
,
in
which
Pope
Sixtus
Quintus
kept
his
treasure
,
and
is
never
opened
,
being
seal'd
with
the
Popes
Seale
.
Above
there
is
another
treasurie
,
in
which
the
triple
Crown
of
his
Holiness
is
kept
,
which
is
seen
in
solemn
processions
,
being
richly
empail'd
with
Jewels
of
inestimable
value
.
The●e
is
too
the
treasurie
of
monuments
,
where
the
writings
of
the
holy
Church
,
of
greatest
consequence
,
are
kept
,
of
which
at
present
Signior
Carlo
Cartari
advocate
of
the
Consistory
,
hath
the
keeping
.
There
is
a
covered
walke
from
the
Vatican
to
this
Castle
,
built
by
Pope
Alexander
the
sixth
,
and
now
for
the
quality
of
the
Scituation
and
Walls
,
may
be
said
to
be
one
of
the
best
Fortresses
of
Italy
.
The
rest
of
the
time
was
spent
by
her
Majesty
in
receiving
of
visits
,
and
other
noble
entertainments
,
becoming
her
vertuous
prerogatives
,
and
especially
her
great
talents
in
literature
.
This
learned
Princess
had
therefore
a
particular
desire
to
go
see
the
Sapienza
,
Anthony
Barberino
,
who
as
Chamberlain
is
the
head
of
that
University
,
being
accompany'd
by
my
Lord
Richi
Auditor
di
Rota
,
as
Lieutenant
of
the
Cardinall
Chamberlain
,
and
all
the
Advocates
of
the
Consistory
.
The
great
Hall
,
and
the
less
,
the
antecedent
▪
were
very
richly
furnish't
;
o're
the
door
of
the
first
stood
her
Majesties
picture
at
length
,
and
in
the
said
Hall
was
erected
a
cloth
of
state
,
in
the
midst
of
which
sate
the
Queen
,
and
the
Cardinall
on
her
left
hand
.
The
Advocates
stood
on
one
side
,
and
at
the
bottom
of
the
royall
seat
all
the
Professors
in
a
ring
,
and
the
Bedells
with
maces
of
Silver
in
their
hands
.
On
the
right
hand
was
prepared
a
chair
for
the
Professors
,
whom
her
Majesty
would
hear
speak
.
First
she
desired
to
hear
a
Divine
,
which
place
was
performed
by
Doctor
Peter
Maria
Passarino
of
Modena
,
Procurator
General
of
the
Order
of
St
Dominique
,
who
made
his
rare
parts
,
and
deep
learning
appear
,
after
whom
a
Phisitian
was
desired
by
her
Majesty
,
so
as
Signior
Giouanni
Benedetto
Sinibaldi
,
most
learnedly
,
and
to
his
great
praise
,
discharged
his
part
.
Then
Signior
Henrico
Chifellio
a
Humanist
was
call'd
,
who
though
a
long
time
blind
,
shew'd
he
hâd
seen
much
in
the
knowledge
of
Humanity
.
Her
Majesty
seem'd
afterwards
desirous
to
hear
a
Philosopher
,
and
Dr.
John
Baptist
di
Lezana
a
Carmelite
,
was
not
wanting
to
give
laudable
testimonies
of
his
knowledge
,
whom
Signior
Giacomo
Cincio
a
Canonist
succeeded
,
who
rarely
performed
his
part
,
and
gave
the
Queen
great
satisfaction
.
The
Mathematician
Don
Antonio
Santini
did
the
like
,
who
in
his
demonstration
on
paper
,
came
down
from
the
chair
to
satisfie
her
Majesties
curiosity
,
who
desired
to
see
it
nearer
her
.
The
Queen
was
askt
afterwards
,
if
she
pleased
to
hear
the
Professors
of
tongues
,
and
she
seeming
content
,
severall
of
them
went
into
the
chaire
one
after
the
other
,
fully
satisfying
the
genius
of
her
Majesty
.
The
first
was
Signior
Giouanni
Battista
Giona
Galileo
,
who
in
the
Hebrew
tongue
,
explained
a
passage
in
Genesis
,
the
second
Signior
Gulielmo
Artio
,
who
discoursed
in
Greeke
of
Philosophy
,
the
third
Signior
Abramo
Ecchlensio
,
who
in
the
Syriaq●é
tongue
,
displayed
some
points
relating
to
the
knowledge
of
it
,
and
the
fourth
Don
Philippo
Gua●agnolo
,
who
in
the
Arabick
and
Chaldean
tongue
,
disputed
against
some
points
of
the
Alcoran
of
Mahomet
.
This
royall
entertainment
being
ended
,
the
Advocates
of
the
Consistory
presented
her
Majesty
in
a
hundred
and
twelve
volumes
,
the
works
in
print
of
the
Professors
of
that
study
,
as
well
of
those
now
living
,
as
the
others
lately
dead
,
which
volumes
were
all
bound
richly
in
Gold
,
with
the
Arms
of
her
Majesty
,
she
had
too
a
Catalogue
in
print
of
the
works
aforesaid
,
with
an
elogie
composed
by
Count
Charles
Emanuel
Vizzani
,
one
of
the
Advocates
of
the
Consistory
,
and
a
person
of
great
fame
.
Thus
ended
the
visit
with
extraordinary
satisfaction
to
her
Majesty
for
the
nourishment
,
which
with
her
rare
understanding
,
she
had
found
in
the
qualities
of
such
eminent
Persons
,
this
Princess
being
likewise
astonisht
,
as
well
at
the
various
,
and
solid
literature
,
and
learning
,
as
the
other
great
parts
,
which
with
her
refined
judgement
,
she
discovered
in
the
said
Cardinall
Rapaccioli
.
Her
Majesty
had
likewise
a
desire
to
see
the
noble
Monasterie
of
the
Nuns
of
St.
Catharine
of
Sienna
,
Emilia
Cenci
,
with
other
Nuns
,
which
stood
in
rankes
on
both
sides
,
with
the
Queen
went
in
the
Father
Generall
of
the
Dominicans
of
the
Family
of
the
Marquisses
Marini
of
Genova
,
a
person
much
esteem'd
for
the
nobleness
of
his
birth
,
his
good
life
,
and
great
learning
;
Father
Guemes
her
Majesties
Confessor
,
the
Arch-Bishop
Forregiani
,
and
four
others
of
the
most
eminent
Fathers
of
the
Order
of
St.
Dominique
.
She
went
presently
into
the
Quire
,
where
she
was
welcomed
with
a
consort
of
severall
musical
instruments
,
and
heard
with
much
pleasure
a
Moletto
sung
most
exquisitely
.
From
thence
she
was
conducted
under
a
Canopie
to
the
Hall
,
where
two
tables
were
furnisht
with
a
noble
collation
.
Here
staying
a
little
,
she
afterwards
went
up
into
the
Tower
,
from
which
she
discovering
not
only
all
Rome
,
but
much
of
the
Countrey
there
abouts
,
was
so
pleased
with
the
prospect
,
that
she
staid
there
two
hours
with
great
satisfaction
,
coming
afterwards
down
into
the
Church
,
and
hearing
there
Mass
,
she
return'd
from
thence
to
her
Palace
,
whither
the
Nuns
sent
her
Majesty
many
pretty
devises
,
with
a
little
Cofer
of
Carnation
sattin
embroydered
with
Gold
,
in
which
was
a
relique
of
St.
Catharine
,
and
another
of
San
Romano
,
with
a
relique
of
St.
Nicholas
da
Bari
in
christall
,
and
six
viols
of
Manna
of
the
said
Saint
,
all
embroydered
with
Silver
,
with
severall
flowers
of
ambre
,
and
silke
,
which
her
Majesty
most
kindly
accepted
,
as
a
testimony
of
the
generous
respect
of
those
Ladies
towards
her
person
.
She
was
pleased
too
to
visit
the
Convent
of
the
Nuns
of
St.
Sixtus
,
of
the
most
noble
order
of
St.
Dominick
,
seated
in
Quirinale
on
the
Mountain
Magnanapoli
,
for
nobleness
and
beauty
equall
to
the
other
there
contiguous
,
of
St.
Catharine
of
Sienna
of
the
same
order
.
Her
Majestie
went
in
,
accompany'd
by
my
Lord
Forregiani
,
the
Father
Generall
,
the
Father
Procurator
,
and
her
Majesties
Confessour
,
all
Dominicans
.
The
Prioress
sister
Raimonda
Colonna
,
assisted
by
the
rest
of
the
Nuns
,
received
her
at
the
Gate
,
and
waited
on
her
,
throughout
all
the
Monastery
and
Garden
,
the
fineness
and
neatness
of
which
buildings
,
together
with
the
beauty
of
the
seat
,
pleased
highly
her
Majesty
,
who
had
there
a
noble
Collation
.
On
the
16.
of
January
her
Majesty
going
into
the
Coach
,
John
Rho
,
Provinciall
of
the
Society
of
Jesus
,
and
Father
Octavius
Massa
Rector
of
the
Greeke
Colledge
.
At
her
Majesties
arrivall
they
began
the
Greek
Mass
,
which
was
sung
by
my
Lord
Laurence
Constantino
Arch-Bishop
of
Cassandra
,
with
three
Priests
,
a
Deacon
and
Subdeacon
,
they
using
the
same
ceremonies
the
Greek
Church
is
accustomed
to
do
,
when
the
Bishop
does
solemnly
celebrate
,
the
said
Prelate
vesting
himself
in
a
pontifical
habit
,
in
the
midst
of
the
Quire
on
a
little
throne
.
Her
Majestie
was
much
pleased
with
this
ceremony
,
and
shewing
,
she
understood
well
those
rites
,
discoursed
of
them
with
Signior
Allatio
of
the
City
of
Scio
,
a
person
of
great
learning
,
who
was
expresly
there
to
satisfie
her
Majesties
demands
.
The
Queen
saw
their
communion
,
and
when
the
Masse
was
done
,
a
Priest
,
bringing
to
her
the
bread
that
was
blessed
,
she
tasted
some
of
it
.
The
said
ceremonies
being
ended
,
she
arose
up
very
gladly
,
having
satisfied
in
that
her
curiosity
,
which
desired
to
understand
,
and
know
all
things
,
and
was
accompany'd
out
of
the
Church
,
by
the
Fathers
aforesaid
,
and
other
Cavaliers
.
As
she
was
never
idle
,
so
to
exercise
continually
her
mind
,
and
entertain
it
in
noble
and
vertuous
habits
,
besides
musicall
Consorts
,
which
from
time
to
time
she
had
in
the
evenings
,
in
her
lodgings
,
Francis
Maria
Santinelli
Gentleman
of
her
Chamber
,
to
bring
her
a
list
of
the
persons
fam'd
for
learning
,
and
experienced
in
the
Academies
of
Rome
,
and
acquaint
them
with
her
Majesties
desire
,
to
have
them
hold
their
Academies
in
her
Palace
.
And
as
every
one
justly
sought
,
to
shew
her
a
dutifull
respect
,
not
only
with
the
tribute
of
reverence
,
but
with
their
parts
,
and
talents
,
so
they
were
most
ready
to
comply
with
her
desires
,
which
no
sooner
were
made
known
unto
them
,
but
many
fruitfull
wits
,
with
which
the
Court
of
Rome
still
abounds
,
were
employed
in
her
praises
.
The
Fathers
of
the
Society
,
who
justly
may
be
called
the
Oracles
of
the
Sciences
,
not
permitting
their
sublime
wits
to
sleep
,
nor
their
fortunate
Pens
to
be
idle
,
as
they
knew
,
that
the
Queen
,
so
great
a
lover
of
learning
,
On
the
18th
.
of
January
after
dinner
her
Majesty
came
to
the
said
Colledg
with
her
usuall
attendance
,
accompanied
by
so
many
Persons
,
that
she
could
hardly
get
in
her self
,
though
the
gate
was
well
lookt
to
by
the
Guards
of
the
Switzers
,
set
expresly
there
to
hinder
the
disorders
,
which
usually
occurre
in
the
like
crowds
and
throngs
.
At
the
entrance
into
the
said
Colledg
was
a
great
quadrangle
,
with
walkes
round
about
supported
by
Pillars
,
under
which
in
three
parts
the
Schooles
are
extended
.
All
the
Pillars
were
adorned
with
the
pictures
of
women
remarkable
in
learning
,
with
their
medalls
of
embossed
work
coloured
like
brass
,
and
under
two
thick
pastboords
of
the
like
embossed
work
.
In
the
first
they
read
the
elogy
of
each
one
,
which
was
still
applied
to
the
qualities
of
the
Queen
,
and
in
the
second
they
saw
a
Motto
on
the
same
subject
.
In
the
semicircles
of
the
Arches
,
the
Universities
and
Colledges
,
in
which
those
Fathers
teach
,
were
painted
with
their
Inscriptions
.
Between
the
Pillars
,
and
each
door
of
the
Schooles
were
represented
the
particular
donatives
of
each
City
offered
to
the
Queen
,
and
displaied
underneath
with
an
Epigram
written
within
a
wreath
supported
by
an
Angell
.
In
the
third
place
were
extended
the
little
walkes
,
which
are
behind
this
roome
,
in
the
which
as
contiguous
to
the
garden
,
was
painted
most
excellently
a
beautifull
garden
,
with
a
prospect
of
various
Pillars
,
in
which
were
written
elogies
and
odes
on
the
Empresses
and
Queens
renowned
for
their
vertues
and
piety
,
on
the
doores
four
Emblems
with
their
Epigrams
being
delineated
.
The
fourth
and
last
place
was
the
space
between
the
sacristy
and
the
Church
,
and
there
they
saw
painted
the
Empresses
and
Queens
come
to
Rome
,
to
honour
there
the
Vicars
of
Christ
.
The
painting
represented
a
plain
,
in
which
were
erected
great
Pyramides
,
in
every
one
of
which
was
imprinted
an
Elogie
in
praise
of
that
picture
,
which
still
had
relation
to
her
Majesty
,
between
the
one
Pyramide
and
the
other
,
was
a
fained
bound
of
brass
,
which
held
up
an
ode
on
the
same
subject
,
and
on
the
other
between
these
,
hung
a
paper
with
an
Epigramme
.
Lodowick
Bompiani
the
Rector
of
the
said
University
,
with
a
Latin
oration
.
Being
come
without
the
Court
,
she
went
up
and
down
all
the
Schooles
,
in
every
one
of
which
,
she
was
welcom'd
by
one
of
the
most
eminent
Scholars
,
with
a
short
Epigramme
.
Being
afterwards
returned
into
the
said
roome
,
o're
the
gate
,
she
was
by
Father
Rho
the
Provinciall
,
informed
of
the
contents
of
that
noble
preparation
,
and
heard
him
read
the
names
of
those
renowned
Princesses
.
Thence
she
went
into
the
Church
,
where
she
heard
a
motetto
with
most
exquisite
musick
,
and
afterwards
departed
.
This
vertuous
preparation
was
most
curious
,
and
noble
,
and
therefore
the
concourse
of
the
people
,
to
see
,
and
admire
it
,
was
great
.
Anthony
Barberino
the
Prefect
,
was
ready
to
receive
her
.
She
was
first
conducted
into
the
printing-house
,
where
they
print
two
and
twenty
severall
tongues
,
and
she
saw
in
an
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
World
.
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
.
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
.
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
,
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
,
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
,
where
they
keep
the
Plate
,
and
reliques
of
the
Church
,
with
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
.

The
first
Academy
began
in
the
evening
on
the
24.
of
January
,
in
which
the
Prince
of
Gallicano
made
appear
his
solid
learning
,
and
wit
,
with
a
lecture
in
honor
of
the
Pope
,
Alexander
the
7th
.
the
other
Academians
seconding
with
their
compositions
,
the
applauses
due
to
him
,
who
for
the
fair
union
of
piety
and
learning
,
makes
the
Vatican
throne
resplendent
.
In
the
third
the
Marquis
Frederick
Miroli
made
the
problem
,
who
gave
abundant
testimonies
,
he
was
no
less
conspicuous
in
the
knowledge
of
the
sciences
,
than
in
valour
,
and
armes
.
He
argued
whither
the
day
,
or
the
night
were
more
proper
for
a
poetical
furie
,
and
on
the
same
subject
,
Signior
Gio.
Francesco
Sinibaldi
spake
learnedly
,
who
made
his
vertuous
qualities
appear
.
The
conclusion
was
in
favour
of
the
night
,
which
appear'd
with
the
twelve
hours
before
her
,
who
were
persons
most
beautifully
adorned
,
with
lighted
torches
in
their
hands
,
and
followed
by
four
starres
artificially
,
dress'd
,
which
were
the
two
Brothers
,
the
Counts
Santinelli
,
and
two
others
,
their
friends
.
The
Night
sang
some
verses
in
thanks
to
the
Academians
,
for
the
honour
done
her
in
making
her
the
theater
of
their
wits
,
and
the
four
starres
danc'd
the
Ganaryes
most
gracefully
.
This
was
the
invention
of
Count
Francis
Maria
Santinelli
,
who
being
to
make
the
problem
in
the
fourth
Academie
,
made
his
vertuous
parts
appear
in
an
Academical
lotterye
,
in
which
every
one
recited
something
on
his
chance
.
The
last
problem
,
which
ended
the
Academie
,
was
concluded
by
the
Abbot
,
Francis
Cesis
,
and
Signior
Francesco
Melosi
,
and
't
was
,
whither
the
love
was
more
durable
,
and
powerfull
,
that
comes
on
a
suddain
,
or
that
which
is
bred
by
conversation
.
'T
was
fit
that
some
martiall
entertainments
should
second
those
of
learning
,
and
therefore
the
Prince
of
Palestrina
with
a
company
of
Cavaliers
,
24.
in
number
,
to
shew
his
respects
to
her
Majesty
(
he
imagining
,
to
her
eyes
,
accustomed
to
the
harshness
,
and
wars
of
the
North
,
martiall
objects
might
likewise
be
gratefull
and
pleasing
,
but
much
more
the
sweeter
,
and
calmer
of
Italy
)
resolved
,
di
fare
una
festa
de
Carosselli
.
To
these
recreations
,
the
great
and
generous
Barberines
added
three
musicall
Playes
,
most
splendidly
recited
in
their
Palace
at
the
four
Fountains
.
On
the
last
of
January
in
the
evening
they
recited
first
a
musical
Play
intituled
the
triumph
of
piety
,
or
the
life
of
man
.
The
matter
was
all
morall
,
and
becoming
the
beauty
of
the
scenes
,
A
curtain
being
drawn
,
the
Night
appeared
in
a
shady
scene
.
The
dawning
of
the
day
began
to
be
seen
,
and
afterwards
a
little
by
little
the
summ
,
which
with
wonderful
art
made
the
Theater
all
resplendent
.
The
mornning
from
her
silver
Chariot
,
strewing
many
sweet
flowers
,
and
awaking
the
Shepherds
to
their
businesse
,
was
the
prologue
,
after
which
in
a
very
fine
prospect
,
was
a
City
with
two
opposite
rocks
,
the
one
of
the
understanding
,
and
the
other
of
pleasure
,
who
disputed
very
earnestly
together
,
each
one
endeavouring
to
beat
down
the
reasons
of
the
other
.
Humane
life
coming
afterwards
forth
between
innocence
and
guilt
,
The
understanding
,
and
innocence
on
the
other
side
represented
to
life
,
in
opposition
to
lasciviousness
,
the
beauty
of
temperance
,
which
is
the
foundation
of
a
mans
happy
life
.
Idleness
they
opposed
with
exercise
and
study
,
the
Fathers
of
vertues
and
glory
,
and
gourmandizing
with
abstinence
,
the
true
armes
to
vanquish
the
sensuall
temptations
.
Against
avarice
they
set
liberality
,
the
soul
of
reputation
,
and
guide
to
Paradise
.
Against
pride
humility
,
which
makes
us
worthy
of
compassion
with
men
,
and
of
mercy
with
God
.
Against
anger
patience
,
which
o'recomes
and
conquers
all
difficulties
,
and
in
fine
against
envie
the
contempt
of
earthly
things
,
one
of
the
greatest
parts
of
generosity
.
Life
invaded
by
goods
,
and
provocations
,
now
yielded
to
the
allurements
of
pleasure
and
guilt
,
now
recollected
it self
,
and
adher'd
to
the
admonitions
of
the
understanding
and
innocence
,
and
contending
thus
with
morall
discourses
,
very
learned
,
and
most
excellently
sung
,
they
ended
severall
acts
,
and
changed
the
scene
the
se●ond
time
which
with
admirable
beauty
represented
a
delitious
,
and
well
severed
Garden
,
adorned
with
statues
,
and
such
rare
partitions
,
that
with
the
addition
of
the
fountains
,
and
a
most
strange
fall
of
water
,
made
it
one
of
the
most
beautifull
prospects
,
that
could
possibly
be
seen
.
In
fine
in
the
third
scene
,
in
which
they
saw
a
most
pleasant
meadow
full
of
trees
,
fruit
,
and
flowers
,
and
a
distance
of
place
,
where
the
Vatican
appeared
,
the
Frontispiece
and
Cupola
of
St.
Peters
,
the
new
Suburbes
,
and
Castle
of
St
Angelo
,
guile
and
pleasure
disguised
like
the
understanding
and
innocence
,
endeavour
to
cosen
life
,
with
the
provocations
and
artifices
proper
to
malice
,
and
the
cunning
of
the
wicked
,
but
the
understanding
and
innocence
,
coming
forth
in
their
own
true
appearance
,
and
finding
life
in
those
ambuscados
,
discovering
to
her
the
deceits
,
with
which
pleasure
and
guilt
seek
to
lull
her
asleep
,
and
betray
her
,
make
her
see
her
own
errour
and
frailty
,
and
to
fortifie
and
defend
her
from
all
other
surprizes
and
ambushes
,
give
her
a
ring
of
Gold
,
with
a
deaths-head
in
stead
of
a
Jewell
,
admonishing
her
,
that
if
she
shall
still
think
of
death
,
after
which
the
greatest
thing
is
reduced
to
nothing
,
she
shall
finde
whosoever
thinks
of
death
,
never
ceases
to
live
well
.
In
this
manner
they
ended
the
Play
,
in
which
follow'd
several
intermediums
of
dances
,
and
musical
consorts
,
with
instruments
sutable
to
the
pleasure
of
so
vertuous
a
recreation
,
they
afterwards
concluding
with
a
dance
admirably
performed
by
two
excellent
dancers
,
and
with
the
appearance
of
a
squib
full
of
fire-works
,
accompanyed
with
the
noise
of
many
mortar
pieces
.
When
the
Queen
had
taken
pleasure
in
beholding
the
noble
appartaments
,
and
rich
furniture
of
that
royall
Palace
,
which
was
adorned
with
excellent
Pictures
,
she
went
down
the
private
stairs
to
the
Theater
,
in
the
middle
of
which
within
a
partition
,
and
under
a
cloth
of
state
,
she
heard
with
such
attention
and
content
,
the
morality
of
that
action
,
that
judging
it
very
sutable
to
her
rare
understanding
she
desired
to
be
present
twice
there
,
she
praysing
much
the
subject
,
Marco
Marazzoli
the
famous
Musitian
of
his
Holinesses
Chappell
,
and
the
Actors
were
Signior
Bonaventura
Argenti
,
who
acted

Rodomonte
who
represented

,
Signior
Domenico

the
Actor

of

,
and
Signior
Gioseppe

of
the
prologue
,
all
exquisite
Musitians
,
and
very
fine
Actors
.
In
the
mean
time
the
Queen
on
the
18.
of
February
visited
the
Church
of
St.
Peter
,
all
the
Clergie
receiving
her
at
the
Gate
.
Volto
Santo
,
reliques
so
highly
esteem'd
,
and
kept
with
such
care
,
that
they
cannot
be
seen
near
at
hand
by
any
one
,
albeit
he
were
a
Cardinall
,
unless
he
be
a
Canon
of
the
said
Church
,
without
the
speciall
leave
of
the
Pope
,
who
issues
forth
a
Brief
in
such
cases
,
as
he
did
to
the
Queen
with
this
clause
,
let
her
alone
see
them
.
Her
Majesty
admired
the
said
reliques
with
particular
devotion
,
and
went
thence
to
see
all
the
rest
of
the
things
,
kept
there
for
the
greater
decorum
within
a
Chappell
of
the
Sacristy
.
Two
dayes
after
her
Majesty
went
to
the
Church
of
the
Conventualls
of
St.
Francis
dedicated
to
the
holy
Apostles
,
where
she
was
met
and
attended
by
Father
Fel●x
d'
Ascoli
the
Generall
of
that
Order
,
and
the
most
qualifyed
Fathers
of
the
Convent
.
At
her
Majesties
entrance
into
the
Church
,
they
gave
signes
of
joy
with
ringing
the
Bells
,
and
playing
on
the
Organs
,
and
Musick
,
and
the
Father
aforesaid
gave
her
the
holy
water
when
she
had
ador'd
the
blessed
Sacrament
,
and
visited
the
two
Altars
of
St.
Francis
and
St.
Anthony
of
Padoua
,
in
the
arch-confraternity
of
which
she
desired
to
be
register'd
,
she
heard
Mass
and
departed
.
On
the
following
Sunday
her
Majesty
went
the
second
time
to
the
Benedictine
Nuns
of
the
conception
of
St.
Mary
in
Campo
Martio
,
Campo
Martio
.
and
as
the
first
time
she
saw
only
the
Church
,
she
now
would
see
the
monasterie
,
into
which
she
entered
accompanyed
by
the
Deputy
,
and
received
and
attended
at
the
Gate
by
Dame
Tecla
Rotolante
the
Abbesse
,
Dame
Deodata
Baccini
the
Prioress
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Nuns
.
Her
Majesty
was
conducted
into
the
quire
,
and
heard
Mass
,
a
motetto
being
sung
by
the
angelical
voyce
of
Dame
Maria
Alessandro
Galvani
,
she
went
afterwards
into
a
great
roome
,
furnisht
with
crimson
damask
fringed
with
Gold
,
with
her
state
,
chair
,
and
footstool
of
the
same
,
where
she
heard
,
without
offence
to
her
modesty
,
a
very
fine
motetto
,
which
was
sung
in
her
praise
,
though
she
was
better
pleased
,
when
she
heard
divers
others
,
the
sweetness
of
which
diminished
the
bitterness
instilled
into
her
by
the
first
.
After
this
they
gave
her
Majes●●
a
noble
collation
,
which
was
seconded
with
a
present
of
seven
basons
full
of
severall
fine
devises
,
sent
her
to
her
lodging
,
which
her
Majesty
most
kindly
accepted
.
On
the
fifteenth
of
February
,
her
Majesty
extreamly
desirous
,
Don
Camillo
Panfilio
,
called
Belrespiro
near
San
Pancratio
,
where
she
found
the
said
Prince
accompanyed
by
my
Lord
Torreggiani
,
and
many
Cavaliers
the
Camrades
of
his
Excellence
,
who
waited
on
her
all
about
the
Garden
,
and
the
appartaments
of
the
Palace
,
putting
into
her
hand
a
stick
all
gilt
,
and
beset
with
pretious
stones
.
When
her
Majesty
accompanyed
by
the
Prince
,
whom
she
would
never
suffer
to
be
uncovered
,
had
with
great
content
,
walked
all
about
the
Garden
,
which
is
one
of
the
fairest
,
and
most
lovely
of
Rome
,
and
the
Prince
had
caused
to
be
made
with
designe
and
vast
charge
,
she
went
into
the
Palace
adorn'd
with
the
pretiousest
furniture
,
giving
lustre
and
magnificence
to
a
house
,
where
she
found
prepared
a
royall
collation
of
most
exquisite
sweet-meats
,
Hanibal
Caracci
,
which
the
Prince
perceiving
,
without
speaking
any
thing
caused
to
be
presented
to
her
,
with
another
of
his
best
Pieces
,
just
as
she
returned
to
her
Palace
,
having
at
her
departure
from
the
Vineyard
given
her
the
said
stick
beset
with
Jewels
.
The
Prince
some
dayes
before
,
having
heard
she
would
make
a
little
Coach
for
her
own
use
,
sent
her
one
of
crimson
Velvet
,
and
Silver
,
wrought
majestickly
and
artificially
in
the
gallery
of
the
great
Duke
of
Florence
.
The
Carneval
afterwards
approaching
,
which
in
Rome
begins
only
ten
dayes
before
Lent
,
the
Queen
some
few
dayes
before
had
intimated
to
the
Prince
,
she
would
come
to
his
house
,
to
see
the
maskings
and
horseraces
used
at
that
time
.
His
Excellency
very
glad
of
the
honour
,
the
night
before
the
Saturday
,
on
which
they
begin
,
caused
a
handsome
long
scaffold
to
be
reared
before
his
Palace
in
all
hast
.
It
represented
a
long
pulpet
supported
by
Pillars
,
and
on
the
sides
had
two
arms
bending
inwards
a
little
,
the
one
for
the
Cavaliers
of
her
Majesties
traine
,
and
the
other
for
the
Ladies
.
In
the
middle
with
a
fine
row
of
pillars
,
and
little
chapters
of
Gold
,
and
cornishes
of
mettall
,
the
history
of
Alexander
the
great
was
epitomized
in
fine
and
noble
painting
.
The
box
appointed
for
her
Majesty
,
had
gilt
parapets
of
iron
with
the
arms
of
Swedland
,
and
was
defended
from
the
aire
with
long
windowes
of
fine
glass
wrought
with
gold
,
with
the
arms
of
her
Majesty
.
Within
it
was
hung
with
embroydery
in
Gold
on
blew
Velvet
,
with
a
throne
,
and
royall
state
,
and
the
arms
of
her
Majesty
,
and
her
Kingdoms
,
in
the
richest
purled
twist
.
This
as
each
thing
else
,
that
was
done
in
such
an
occasion
,
was
by
the
designe
and
architecture
of
his
Excellence
himself
,
a
Prince
of
a
sprightly
and
admirable
understanding
in
all
things
.
Every
time
her
Majesty
repaired
to
the
Palace
of
this
Prince
,
she
,
with
her
train
,
had
a
noble
collation
of
sweet-meats
,
and
he
kept
open
house
.
Every
evening
the
boxes
abounded
with
Torches
of
white
wax
,
and
the
first
three
nights
they
made
very
fine
bon-fires
.
The
entertainment
the
Queen
had
the
first
evening
was
a
musicall
Play
,
Giouanni
Lotti
,
and
the
musick
by
Tenalia
,
both
persons
very
famous
.
With
such
recreations
the
Prince
entertained
her
Majesty
till
the
last
night
of
Carneval
,
in
which
he
made
wonderfully
appear
his
own
wit
and
generosity
,
for
after
a
royal
collation
,
and
abounding
with
all
the
new
fruits
they
could
get
in
despight
of
the
harshness
of
the
season
,
he
conducted
the
Queen
into
a
great
roome
,
adorned
with
most
splendid
,
and
inestimable
furniture
,
where
she
saw
,
sitting
under
a
state
,
the
furniture
in
a
moment
vanish
out
of
the
Chamber
,
a
fair
Sea
there
appearing
in
a
beautifull
prospect
,
and
ingeniously
contrived
within
that
narrow
place
:
Venus
being
come
to
the
earth
with
her
Son
,
heard
Cupids
complaints
,
who
accused
the
Ladies
of
Tybur
for
being
too
rigid
,
and
the
authority
of
his
Mother
not
appeasing
his
anger
,
he
shot
some
arrowes
towards
the
Ladies
,
and
together
with
Venus
returned
to
the
Chariot
,
both
of
them
singing
joyntly
the
praises
of
her
Majesty
.
As
they
vanished
they
sang
a
little
song
,
inviting
some
Ladies
,
who
formerly
were
followers
of
Cupid
,
to
give
with
a
dance
some
refreshment
to
them
he
had
subdued
.
The
machine
vanishing
away
,
from
the
sides
of
the
maritime
scene
issued
forth
eight
Ladies
of
the
Princess
aforesaid
,
most
splendidly
apparrel'd
,
with
lighted
Torches
in
their
hands
,
and
danced
a
rare
dance
,
establishing
love
with
those
unstable
motions
,
and
securing
the
motions
of
the
will
with
the
measure
of
short
distances
.
After
this
the
room
was
refurnisht
as
before
,
and
her
Majesty
was
so
highly
contented
,
that
she
publickly
declared
,
she
had
not
seen
any
thing
in
Rome
,
to
her
greater
satisfaction
.
The
words
were
composed
by
the
said
Prince
Don
Camillo
,
who
presented
her
Majesty
with
a
song
made
by
him
on
her
renouncing
of
her
Kingdoms
,
which
was
much
commended
by
her
,
she
celebrating
the
Prince
for
a
very
vertuous
person
,
and
deserving
all
praise
and
applause
.
Still
in
all
these
actions
,
the
Princess
of
Rossano
was
accompanyed
by
many
Princesses
and
Ladies
,
and
severall
Princes
and
Cavaliers
were
with
the
Prince
,
who
had
every
day
rich
cloaths
,
with
strange
and
new
inventions
.
The
same
did
the
Princess
,
who
had
Jewels
of
inestimable
value
.
This
Princess
with
her
prudence
,
and
most
noble
carriage
,
The
Abbot
Caesar
Malvicino
,
and
Signior
Carlo
Centosiorini
,
the
former
the
Secretary
,
and
the
latter
the
chief
Gentleman
of
the
horse
to
the
Prince
aforesaid
,
still
assisted
at
these
functions
,
as
likewise
Signior
Mario
Raviera
his
Excellences
domestick
Gentleman
,
who
applyed
himself
to
it
very
earnestly
.
In
Carneval-time
notwithstanding
these
vertuous
entertainments
,
her
Majesty
shewed
her
piety
in
visiting
severall
Churches
,
and
particularly
that
of
Giesu
,
where
with
a
most
splendid
preparation
,
the
forty
hours
were
exposed
.
On
a
scaffold
in
fine
order
appeared
six
mountains
the
arms
of
his
Holiness
,
At
the
feet
of
the
mountains
they
saw
come
from
all
parts
throngs
of
people
to
do
homage
to
that
great
Monarchess
,
and
captivate
their
understandings
convinced
in
obedience
to
the
Catholick
Faith
.
Those
personages
afterwards
appeared
,
who
thought
it
a
thing
of
glory
,
and
desert
to
preferre
the
reproach
of
the
cross
before
worldly
greatness
.
They
represented
too
the
Princes
,
Kings
,
and
Emperours
,
who
shewed
they
regarded
not
their
titles
,
but
to
have
some
worthy
argument
,
to
make
known
to
the
World
their
esteem
of
the
true
Religion
,
while
for
the
love
of
it
,
they
despised
those
dignities
.
There
were
likewise
Princesses
and
Queens
,
whose
piety
was
as
generous
;
and
as
the
famous
Painters
had
given
life
and
eloquence
with
their
pensills
,
to
the
Pictures
,
so
they
were
all
contented
with
their
state
,
but
in
a
certain
manner
confessed
,
they
were
conquered
with
the
modern
miracle
of
a
couragious
and
masculine
woman
,
who
remarkable
in
the
midst
of
the
rest
,
with
a
countenance
breathing
majestick
,
as
well
as
devotion
,
the
more
she
endeavoured
to
obscure
the
titles
of
a
Queen
,
acquired
them
the
more
.
The
three
Crowns
and
Scepters
,
the
victimes
offered
up
by
her
to
the
Catholick
Faith
,
she
did
not
now
behold
,
but
every
one
admired
them
,
and
it
seemed
she
would
plant
them
in
that
mountain
,
she
judging
it
worthy
to
have
Scepters
for
trees
,
and
Diadems
for
flowers
,
where
Monarchs
,
and
Princes
excited
by
her
singular
example
,
might
,
instead
of
birds
,
build
their
nests
.
To
this
great
Lady
,
the
supream
Commandress
of
the
mountain
bowed
her
face
,
as
if
she
had
said
,
many
daughters
have
heaped
up
riches
,
and
thou
exceedest
them
all
;
You
would
have
thought
,
in
so
pleasing
a
sight
,
the
holy
Church
sucking
consolations
with
her
eyes
,
and
milk
as
it
were
from
so
many
breasts
,
as
there
were
triumphant
soules
,
encreased
to
the
eyes
of
the
beholders
,
and
with
those
mountains
quickened
with
some
invisible
breath
,
was
raised
much
higher
.
Behind
the
Mountains
and
Personages
,
they
discovered
severall
fine
distances
,
which
was
all
in
the
low
region
.
But
the
eye
looking
upwards
,
entered
into
a
Paradise
,
which
being
wide
open
,
while
it
would
be
a
Spectator
of
what
was
done
on
earth
,
became
a
delitious
,
and
fortunate
spectacle
to
way-faring
men
.
It
extended
it self
in
many
circles
proportionably
still
greater
,
and
abounding
with
beautifull
figures
of
knots
,
Seraphins
,
Cherubins
,
Angels
,
and
Saints
,
even
to
the
top
of
the
Arch
,
and
profundity
of
the
royal
Court
,
the
receptacle
of
glory
,
which
could
not
be
bounded
with
limits
,
fine
knots
,
appearing
without
the
Arch.
The
most
holy
Sacrament
the
Ascendent
,
and
Horoscope
of
the
holy
Church
,
was
in
the
midst
of
Heaven
as
it
were
,
nor
could
they
discern
how
,
or
where
it
reposed
,
and
yet
it
stood
fast
.
The
blessed
soules
adoring
it
,
as
they
shewed
,
they
enjoyed
its
glories
,
so
likewise
presaged
,
by
vertue
of
its
influences
,
greater
happiness
to
the
Catholick
World
,
and
it
seemed
they
heard
them
say
to
those
mountains
,
enjoy
peace
O
Mountains
,
at
which
tidings
,
they
shall
skip
for
joy
like
Ramms
,
for
the
hope
,
they
saw
they
had
.
The
Father
eternall
was
Spectator
of
all
,
whom
we
there
represent
,
as
when
he
had
finish'd
the
World
,
and
said
all
was
good
;
so
there
he
appeared
supported
in
himself
,
and
joyning
together
the
high
with
the
low
,
the
Earth
with
the
Heaven
made
one
single
Region
,
as
it
were
.
How
then
that
noble
machine
was
illuminated
,
we
may
guess
by
the
starres
,
that
are
still
resplendent
,
though
the
Sun
,
the
Fountain
of
light
,
be
not
seen
in
the
scene
of
Heaven
.
The
machine
was
every
where
bright
,
but
they
could
not
discover
from
whence
the
light
came
,
nor
tell
if
it
was
in
the
Pictures
,
or
borrowed
from
some
Sun
,
assembled
by
art
;
so
with
many
very
pleasing
deceits
of
near
distances
,
and
distant
nearness
,
fixed
flights
,
and
endings
without
end
,
they
sweetly
lost
their
curiosity
,
and
had
their
devotion
free
,
so
as
they
might
employ
themselves
wholy
in
those
holy
exercises
.
The
German
Colledge
desired
too
the
occasion
of
paying
their
dutifull
respects
to
the
Queen
in
a
musical
Play
called
the
sacrifice
of
Isaack
,
On
the
28.
of
February
in
the
evening
,
in
the
foresaid
Palace
of
the
Signior
Barberini
at
the
four
fountains
.
The
great
Court
of
the
said
Palace
,
which
is
long
and
spatious
,
was
designed
for
the
Theater
.
These
Gentlemen
by
demolishing
some
houses
of
their
own
,
that
were
contiguous
,
caused
two
large
,
and
commodious
ascents
of
degrees
,
to
be
erected
on
the
left
side
capable
of
about
3000.
Persons
,
in
the
midst
of
which
,
a
magnificent
great
gate
was
built
o're
against
the
Queens
place
,
adorned
with
various
figures
,
which
being
about
the
Queens
armes
,
made
a
very
fine
prospect
.
On
the
top
of
the
said
great
Gate
in
four
great
windowes
with
lettises
before
them
,
was
the
Quire
for
the
Musitians
,
who
with
various
instruments
,
made
most
exquisite
musick
.
In
the
side
of
the
Palace
,
two
rowes
of
scaffolds
were
erected
,
the
one
o're
the
other
,
covered
with
rich
tapistries
,
and
so
with
proportionable
symmetrie
,
from
both
the
sides
two
other
ranges
answerable
,
were
extended
,
so
as
by
an
ingenious
industry
,
that
Court
was
reduced
into
the
forme
of
a
beautifull
Theater
.
To
give
light
to
the
field
,
besides
the
thick
Torches
of
white
wax
,
and
artificiall
materialls
,
which
burnt
on
severall
rowes
of
the
Pillars
,
on
the
ascents
of
the
degrees
,
and
at
the
head
of
the
lists
,
there
were
sixteen
great
starres
artificially
composed
of
iron
wire
,
each
of
which
being
set
up
very
high
in
the
aire
,
with
a
new
invention
not
seen
before
in
the
middle
of
the
field
held
sixteen
great
Torches
,
so
as
by
commutation
,
the
lights
alone
cost
above
a
thousand
Crowns
.
In
the
midst
of
the
side
aforesaid
,
on
the
first
floore
of
the
appartaments
,
a
very
capacious
box
was
erected
for
her
Majesty
,
adorned
within
and
without
with
most
rich
cloth
of
Gold
,
with
her
state
of
crimson
velvet
,
bordered
and
fringed
with
Gold
.
All
those
royall
appartaments
were
very
richly
furnished
,
and
altogether
answerable
to
the
greatness
,
and
generosity
of
the
minds
of
the
Barberini
.
Near
her
Majesty
were
four
Cardinalls
,
to
wit
Retz
,
Imperiale
,
Borromeo
,
and
Azzolino
,
and
all
the
Gentlemen
of
her
Court
.
The
other
Cardinalls
had
their
places
somewhat
higher
than
the
Queens
,
and
likewise
all
the
windowes
were
nobly
adorned
,
and
abounded
with
other
eminent
Persons
.
On
the
second
scaffolds
were
the
Princesses
and
Ladies
,
most
finely
attired
,
and
resplendent
,
to
augment
with
the
splendour
of
their
beauty
and
ornaments
,
the
lustre
,
and
Jewels
of
so
handsome
a
spectacle
.
The
pompe
and
majesty
of
this
shew
,
made
all
Rome
curious
to
behold
it
,
together
with
the
neighbouring
Countreys
,
so
as
though
the
concourse
of
the
people
to
get
in
,
was
very
great
,
yet
all
civill
persons
were
let
in
without
confusion
,
by
the
excellent
order
of
Cardinall
Barberin
,
with
whose
good
direction
all
things
were
regulated
.
After
3.
hours
in
the
night
,
they
began
.
The
24.
Cavaliers
,
each
one
of
which
was
most
splendidly
set
out
,
were
divided
into
two
squadrons
.
In
the
first
appearance
were
Signior
Lorenzo
Roberti
,
the
Marquiss
Tarquinius
Santa
Croce
,
Captain
Giuseppe
Marino
Rasponi
,
Baron
Augustine
del
Nero
,
Signior
Fabio
de
Massimi
,
Colonel
Lodovick
Casale
,
Signior
Carlo
Rapaccioli
,
the
Marquis
John
Peter
del
Drago
,
Signior
Guido
Rasponi
,
Signior
Mar.
Antonio
Verospi
,
Signior
Ferdinando
Vecchiarelli
a
Knight
of
Malta
,
and
Signior
Paola
Francesco
Falconieri
,
all
which
were
on
generous
steeds
barded
with
blew
furniture
embroydered
with
Silver
,
to
which
their
sutes
were
answerable
,
and
cloakes
of
the
same
colour
with
very
rich
embroyderies
,
representing
shining
Pearls
,
with
plumes
of
feathers
▪
so
large
and
stately
,
that
't
is
hard
to
say
,
how
they
could
with
the
waving
of
the
aire
,
support
on
their
heads
so
spatious
and
heavy
a
machine
,
the
feathers
costing
each
of
them
above
two
hundred
Crowns
.
Eight
Trumpetters
went
before
,
and
a
hundred
and
twenty
grooms
,
all
cloath'd
in
a
Livery
embroyder'd
with
Silver
on
blew
,
and
great
blew
and
white
feathers
on
their
heads
,
each
of
them
carrying
a
great
lighted
Torch
in
their
hands
,
which
greatly
augmented
the
lustre
and
splendour
,
all
marching
very
orderly
.
After
the
twelve
Cavaliers
came
at
last
a
most
beautifull
Chariot
most
rarely
designed
,
which
was
of
blew
and
silver
adorn'd
with
figures
,
and
admirable
devises
of
embossed
work
.
It
was
so
high
,
it
reached
to
the
box
of
the
Queen
,
and
was
drawn
by
three
Musitians
habited
like
Goddesses
,
and
representing
the
three
Graces
,
one
concealed
within
it
,
moving
it
secretly
,
and
with
great
agility
.
In
it
sate
joyfull
Rome
in
a
most
majestick
manner
,
who
desirous
to
discover
her
joy
for
the
arrival
of
a
Princess
so
great
,
seemed
to
look
like
love
,
which
being
the
Soul
of
the
World
,
elected
her
heart
for
his
unchangeable
throne
,
as
a
City
the
head
of
the
World
.
The
Chariot
come
before
the
Queen
stood
still
,
and
the
three
Graces
,
who
seemed
to
draw
it
,
seconded
singing
sweetly
the
musical
sense
of
love
,
ending
all
in
the
praises
of
her
Majesty
.
After
this
from
the
opposite
side
,
came
forth
the
other
twelve
Cavaliers
,
who
fained
themselves
to
be
Amazons
,
and
they
were
Don
Maffeo
Barberini
Prince
of
Pellestrina
,
Signior
Urbano
Rocci
,
the
Marquis
Ferdinand
Torres
,
Signior
Gasparo
Alveri
,
Ferrante
Count
of
Massa
in
the
roome
of
the
Marquis
Patritii
,
who
fell
sick
,
Signior
Stefano
Pignatelli
,
the
Marquis
Fabritius
Mari
,
the
Marquis
Cintius
Silvestri
,
Signior
Giouanni
Battista
Costaguti
,
Count
Marc.
Antonio
Monte
Marte
della
Corbara
,
Signior
Paola
Mignanelli
,
and
Signior
Angelo
Leonini
,
all
cloathed
in
red
,
and
Gold
,
with
high
plumes
of
feathers
,
very
rich
cloaks
,
noble
trappings
,
and
sprightly
horses
,
eight
Trumpetters
,
and
a
hundred
and
twenty
grooms
going
before
them
,
all
cloathed
in
red
,
embroydered
with
Gold
,
with
great
and
thick
feathers
on
their
heads
,
and
lighted
Torches
in
their
hands
,
who
were
all
,
like
the
first
,
Souldiers
of
fortune
chosen
out
of
good
companies
,
that
their
marching
,
and
rankes
might
be
regular
,
as
they
were
,
they
being
conducted
by
a
very
expert
Officer
who
supplyed
that
place
.
Another
Chariot
like
the
first
,
followed
after
,
disagreeing
in
nothing
but
the
colours
,
this
being
of
red
and
Gold
,
and
varied
with
not
inferiour
ornaments
,
drawn
likewise
by
three
Musitians
in
the
likeness
of
three
furies
.
In
it
with
a
dreadfull
aspect
,
and
menacing
posture
sate
another
Musitian
representing
Disdain
.
This
after
a
handsome
,
and
orderly
motion
,
his
Champions
preceding
,
stood
opposite
to
the
other
of
the
God
of
love
,
who
stopt
before
the
Queen
.
There
between
the
Graces
,
and
the
Furyes
,
was
a
pleasant
and
curious
dialogue
in
musick
,
each
of
the
parties
calling
in
the
end
their
own
warriers
to
arms
,
for
the
decision
of
the
business
.
The
same
contention
had
Love
and
Disdain
,
each
one
concluding
for
the
battail
.
The
Amazons
with
much
courage
and
generosity
,
moved
from
the
other
side
of
the
field
,
and
stood
in
array
at
the
head
of
the
Theater
towards
the
Garden
.
The
Cavaliers
,
as
fierce
and
hardy
,
did
the
same
,
and
went
to
the
opposite
side
in
their
rankes
.
Each
of
these
squadrons
was
followed
by
their
own
Chariot
,
which
moved
in
good
order
.
The
Cavaliers
putting
off
their
high
plumes
of
feathers
,
and
long
Cloakes
for
the
shew
,
were
more
fit
for
the
fight
,
and
putting
on
their
Helmets
,
that
were
easy
and
light
,
were
armed
on
the
bre●st
and
the
back
,
with
brachals
and
gauntlets
.
The
Chariots
retired
aside
,
to
give
no
impediment
to
the
field
,
and
the
Grooms
attending
there
,
filled
all
the
circumference
of
the
Theater
,
making
a
very
fine
prospect
,
which
from
the
light
of
the
Torches
,
and
the
glittering
of
their
clothes
,
received
much
beauty
.
The
Quire
of
the
Musitians
on
the
arch
aforesaid
,
just
against
her
Majesty
,
as
it
did
from
time
to
time
make
most
exquisite
musick
,
so
gave
place
to
the
sound
of
the
Trumpets
,
with
which
they
were
awaked
to
the
battail
,
so
as
three
of
the
Cavaliers
with
pistolls
in
their
hands
rode
a
gallop
towards
the
Amazons
.
The
said
pistolls
were
charged
by
Colonell
Vaini
,
who
being
a
person
nobly
borne
,
and
very
valorous
,
was
honoured
with
that
charge
,
much
esteemed
and
used
in
Germany
.
At
the
motion
of
the
foresaid
Cavaliers
,
three
of
the
Amazons
rode
against
them
,
and
meeting
them
in
the
midst
of
the
Careere
of
the
Theater
enterchangeably
discharged
their
pistolls
,
turning
twice
quickly
about
to
meet
the
second
time
,
which
succeeded
very
well
,
they
afterwards
retiring
in
good
order
.
Four
afterwards
on
a
side
issued
forth
,
and
did
the
same
thing
,
then
five
,
afterwards
six
,
and
lastly
all
twelve
,
they
mingling
themselves
the
one
with
the
other
in
order
,
so
as
between
the
smoake
,
the
fire
,
and
the
noise
of
their
arms
,
they
saw
a
seeming
fray
,
and
pleasant
contention
.
This
no
sooner
was
ended
,
but
a
curtain
being
drawn
,
from
the
arch
,
or
great
Gate
aforesaid
,
came
a
great
machine
representing
a
monstrous
Dragon
,
which
vomited
flames
of
fire
,
and
like
a
great
Chariot
,
carried
on
his
back
another
Musitian
,
who
seemed
the
famous
Hercules
.
He
with
a
shrill
,
and
grave
voice
,
suspending
the
fight
,
offered
,
instead
of
it
,
two
golden
apples
,
taken
violently
by
him
out
of
the
orchard
of
the
Hesperides
,
the
renowned
acquisition
of
his
glorious
labours
.
At
those
words
three
of
the
said
Hesperides
very
finely
attired
,
issued
forth
,
and
bewailing
with
lamentable
accents
the
prodigall
concession
of
that
treasure
,
obtained
the
favours
they
themselves
might
distribute
those
apples
,
which
they
gave
to
the
Cavaliers
,
and
to
the
Amazons
.
This
act
being
ended
,
which
was
boldly
performed
,
and
with
excellent
musick
,
the
Dragon
walked
by
course
o'e
the
field
,
and
returned
to
his
first
station
in
the
great
Gate
.
In
the
mean
time
two
Cavaliers
brake
from
their
troope
,
brandishing
their
shields
in
their
left
hands
,
and
carrying
the
apples
in
their
right
,
and
riding
a
gallop
towards
the
front
of
the
Amazons
,
assailed
them
fiercely
,
and
endeavoured
to
seize
on
their
apples
,
turning
swiftly
on
the
right
hand
,
but
two
Amazons
pursued
them
closely
,
and
charging
them
home
,
followed
them
to
their
own
squadron
.
Then
three
Cavaliers
issuing
forth
,
put
the
Amazons
to
flight
,
and
returned
to
their
own
partie
,
of
which
sometimes
four
in
a
Company
coming
forth
,
then
five
,
and
six
,
and
at
last
,
all
together
,
made
so
handsome
a
mixture
,
so
well
led
,
and
so
dexterous
,
that
the
eyes
of
the
Spectators
could
not
see
it
enough
.
This
skirmish
being
ended
,
which
was
no
less
strange
,
than
delightfull
,
they
came
all
in
rankes
,
with
their
swords
in
their
hands
before
the
Queen
.
Then
from
the
left
side
came
forth
another
great
Charior
,
all
guilded
,
and
adorned
with
various
ornaments
,
representing
that
of
the
Sun
,
on
which
sate
glittering
a
Musitian
in
the
habit
of
Phoebus
,
who
was
attended
by
the
four
seasons
of
the
year
,
with
24.
Virgins
waiting
on
him
,
which
related
to
the
hours
.
The
said
Chariot
was
drawn
by
four
horses
,
of
a
right
murrey
colour
very
well
matcht
,
and
barded
with
Gold
.
This
,
stopping
before
the
Queen
,
reconcil'd
the
hostile
troops
,
and
having
sung
some
verses
,
to
express
the
love
of
Rome
towards
her
honoured
Majesty
,
the
Cavaliers
and
Amazons
united
themselves
together
three
by
three
,
and
preceded
by
all
their
train
,
and
followed
by
the
m●chins
,
they
passing
before
the
Queen
,
retired
into
their
quarters
,
the
shew
ending
in
this
manner
,
after
which
the
Prince
gave
a
splendid
collation
of
most
excellent
sweet-meats
to
the
Ladies
.
The
Queen
ended
afterwards
the
recreations
of
Carneval
,
with
hearing
in
the
Palace
Mazarino
at
Quirinale
a
French
Play
,
intituled
Heraclius
,
done
by
Cornelius
the
famous
Poet
of
France
,
whither
her
Majesty
was
invited
by
Signior
di
Lionne
the
French
Embassadour
to
the
Princess
of
Italy
,
who
then
was
at
Rome
for
the
affairs
of
his
Master
.
This
Minister
in
all
his
great
employments
for
the
service
of
that
Crown
,
as
well
within
,
as
without
the
Kingdom
,
hath
sufficiently
made
known
the
vivacity
of
his
Spirit
,
the
readiness
of
his
wit
,
and
constant
fidelity
.
He
is
of
a
most
affable
behaviour
,
a
vigorous
judgement
,
great
foresight
,
and
rare
capacity
in
every
affair
.
His
wit
is
refined
with
experience
,
his
mind
very
sprightly
,
and
his
thoughts
aime
only
at
glory
,
and
an
excellent
report
.
He
is
full
of
solidity
in
his
discourses
,
of
wariness
,
and
dexterity
in
affairs
,
and
sincerity
,
and
sweetness
in
his
carriage
,
being
especially
a
friend
unto
vertue
,
with
which
he
deservedly
attracts
to
himself
,
the
encomiums
and
praises
of
every
one
that
know
;
him
.
Besides
the
said
Comedy
,
he
presented
her
Majesty
with
a
stately
collation
,
of
most
excellent
sweet-meats
,
and
in
extraordinary
abundance
,
and
gave
her
a
fine
Ball
,
danc'd
after
the
French
fashion
,
by
some
nimble
and
agile
Savoyards
,
with
which
the
Queen
was
very
highly
satisfied
.
On
the
first
day
of
Lent
her
Majesty
went
to
the
house
of
the
Prince
of
St.
Gregory
,
On
the
second
of
March
,
her
Majesty
went
to
the
Church
of
Madonna
della
Scala
the
discalceate
Carinelites
,
an
order
she
loved
well
.
At
the
Gate
of
the
Church
the
was
received
by
Father
Joachim
di
Giesu
Maria
the
Generall
,
accompanyed
by
the
most
eminent
Friars
of
that
order
.
While
she
prayed
before
the
most
holy
Sacrament
,
a
very
fine
Motetto
was
sung
.
Thence
passing
into
the
Convent
,
she
went
into
the
Oratory
,
which
she
found
richly
hung
,
and
adorned
with
Pictures
,
Mottos
,
and
Emblems
.
Here
she
heard
Mass
,
at
which
the
devotion
of
her
mind
was
augmented
with
exquisite
Musick
.
She
then
honoured
a
pretious
relique
of
a
foot
of
St.
Teresia
,
the
foundress
of
that
order
,
and
heard
a
Latin
oration
recited
by
one
of
those
Fathers
.
The
day
after
,
which
was
the
first
Friday
in
March
,
she
visited
St.
Peters
,
as
she
did
all
the
Fridayes
of
the
moneth
aforesaid
,
for
the
gaining
the
treasures
of
that
famous
indulgence
.
She
was
pleased
afterwards
to
visit
the
Colledge
of
the
English
,
This
Colledge
had
desired
,
ever
since
her
arrivall
in
Rome
,
to
testifie
to
her
their
dutifull
respects
,
and
Father
Edward
Courtney
the
Rector
,
employed
soone
his
parts
in
composing
a
book
,
in
which
are
contained
the
Elogies
of
above
fifty
Saint
,
the
Queens
,
or
daughters
of
the
Kings
of
England
,
he
adding
to
each
Elogie
some
verses
very
handsomly
applyed
to
this
Princesses
rare
qualities
.
She
came
thither
accompanyed
by
divers
Princes
and
Cavaliers
,
and
particularly
by
my
Lord
Torregg●ani
,
who
had
invited
thither
her
Majesty
,
she
going
into
the
Church
,
dedicated
to
the
glorious
English
Martyr
St.
Thomas
Arch-Bishop
of
Canterbury
,
found
it
finely
adorned
,
and
abounding
with
the
Pictures
of
Saints
the
Kings
of
England
,
lent
them
by
my
Lord
Somerset
,
Chamberlain
of
Honour
to
the
Pope
,
and
a
Gentleman
nobly
borne
,
who
was
likewise
there
.
Her
Majesties
prayers
were
accompanyed
with
most
admirable
musick
,
and
a
harmony
of
Viols
,
in
which
the
English
excell
.
She
sitting
down
afterwards
under
a
state
,
had
recited
to
her
a
short
Latin
oration
,
with
some
verses
by
two
of
those
young
Scholars
,
they
presenting
to
her
the
said
book
of
printed
Elogies
,
which
her
Majesty
most
courteously
accepted
.
On
the
day
of
St.
Thomas
of
Aquin
,
the
solemne
Feast
of
the
order
of
St.
Dominick
,
her
Majesty
went
to
the
Church
of
Minerva
,
of
the
Fathers
aforesaid
,
one
of
the
chiefest
of
Rome
,
as
well
for
the
service
of
the
Church
,
as
the
sacred
Congregation
of
the
Cardinalls
,
held
in
that
Convent
every
Wednesday
in
the
morning
,
of
the
holy
office
of
the
greatest
importance
in
Rome
.
The
rooms
where
they
hold
the
said
Congregation
,
were
seen
by
the
Queen
,
as
likewise
all
the
Convent
,
her
Majesty
remaining
highly
pleased
with
the
magnificence
both
of
the
one
and
the
other
.
She
was
received
and
attended
by
the
Father
Generall
,
and
Father
Raymund
Capisucchi
Master
of
the
Sacred
Palace
,
and
one
of
the
examiners
of
the
Bishops
,
a
Prelate
of
much
vertue
,
and
rare
parts
,
which
are
the
more
remarkable
by
the
ancient
Family
of
the
Capisucchi
,
which
as
appears
by
authentick
writings
,
and
is
gathered
from
the
very
same
arms
,
is
a
branch
sprowted
out
of
the
most
noble
stock
of
the
Counts
of
Tunn
in
Germany
,
the
head
of
which
now
,
is
the
Prince
Arch-Bishop
of
Saltzbourgh
,
a
Gentleman
of
most
eminent
qualities
.
Her
Majesty
had
likewise
some
thoughts
of
seeing
the
curious
study
of
the
Knight
of
St.
Stephen
Sir
Francis
Gualdo
of
Rimini
,
a
Gentleman
well
deserving
of
the
learnedest
of
the
ancients
,
which
he
gave
to
his
most
Christian
Majesty
,
but
the
ill
weather
,
and
the
greater
affairs
of
this
Princess
,
have
not
yet
permitted
her
to
behold
it
.
I
therefore
forbear
to
speak
of
the
said
study
,
till
a
fitter
opportunity
be
presented
me
.
The
Queen
then
continuing
her
vertuous
entertainments
,
at
the
beginning
of
Lent
,
introduced
the
spirituall
exercise
of
a
devout
oratory
in
her
Palace
every
Wednesday
,
which
was
ordered
by
the
Prince
of
Gallicano
.
They
began
the
second
Wednesday
in
March
,
and
the
history
of
Daniell
was
recited
in
musick
,
a
composition
well
becoming
the
said
Prince
.
In
the
second
Oratory
Father
Rho
,
the
famous
Preacher
,
made
a
Sermon
,
in
the
third
Father
Spinola
,
in
the
fourth
Father
Nicholas
Zucchi
all
Jesuits
,
in
the
fifth
Father
Spinelli
a
Celestine
,
and
in
the
sixth
Father
Don
Carlo
di
Palma
a
Theatine
,
all
Persons
of
great
learning
,
and
worth
.
But
behold
us
at
the
end
of
these
our
relations
.
The
sincerity
of
my
Penne
,
which
cannot
deliver
truly
to
Posterity
,
the
glorious
name
of
Christina
great
without
the
true
Characters
of
a
perpetuall
Panegirique
,
concludes
,
that
as
't
is
doubtless
,
this
great
Princess
deserves
for
a
thousand
respects
,
the
greatest
obsequiousness
,
and
complyance
in
order
to
her
eminent
qualities
,
and
parts
,
so
't
is
to
be
hoped
,
the
fortunate
Climate
of
Rome
,
the
Epilogue
of
Celestiall
,
and
humane
felicities
,
will
deserve
the
good
fortune
to
enjoy
,
and
serve
her
long
.
'T
is
certain
