But the Ancient,1 & worthy Father Chrysostom saithe, Discamus, Christum ex ipsius voluntate honorare: Nam qui honoratur, eo maximè honore laetatur, quem ipse vult: non quem nos optamus: Let us learn to honour Christ after his own vvil. For he that is honoured, delighteth most in that honour, that he him self would have: not in that honour, that we can Fancy. Notwithstanding, when the Sacramental Bread is carried only upon a horse, and the Pope him self is borne aloft, in a Chair of Gold, upon the shoulders of six, or eight Noble men, I pray you, whether of them hath greater Honour?

For the rest, The Pope, saith M. Harding, is and old Man: he rideth in his Pontificalibus: he is laden with Apparel: The Pyx is weighty: The Weather is hot: there is none other Creature to supply his room: Therefore it is lately concluded in Louvain in great solemn sadness, that a Horse must be had in, to play the Popes part, and to carry the Monstrance.
