This Sixtus was a special Patron of begging Friars,1 granting them to enjoy revenues in this world, and in the world to come everlasting life. Among which Friars, there was one named Alanus de Rupe, 2a black friar, which made the Rosary of our Ladies Psalter,3 and erected a new fraternity upon the same, called Fraternitas Coronariorum, 4pertaining to the order of the Dominikes: of which order, Jacobus Sprenger, one of the condemners of Johannes de Wesalia, was a great advancer: and especially this Sixtus the fourth, who gave unto the said Fraternity large Privileges.
