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.
For the reste, The Pope, saithe M. Hardinge, is and olde Man: he rideth in his Pontificalibus: he is loden with Apparel: The Pyxe is weighty: The VVeather is hoate: there is none other Creature to supplie his roome: Therefore it is lately concluded in Louaine in greate solemne sadnesse, that a Horse muste be had in, to plaie the Popes parte, and to carrie the Monstrance.
Here, for as much as M. Harding hath purposely made mention of the Popes riding in his Pontificalibus, and the Solemnity, and Pomp thereof is known to few, it shall not be impertinent, briefly to disclose the order thereof. Thus therefore it is written in the Ceremoniarie of Rome:1 Sic Papa equitat in Pontificalibus in aliquam Civitatem. Cardinales descendunt ex equis, & accedunt reverenter ad Papam, & osculantur illi pedem. Episcopus Civitatis accedit ad Papam cum debitis reverentijs, & offers illi Crucem osculandam: quam Pontifex reverenter, cum Mitra tamen, osculabitur. Non enim commodé poterit ei abstrahi equiti ab ⟨p. 294⟩equestribus. Miracles. Si tamen placuerit & Mitram deponere, non erit inconueniens. Deinde Praelatus incipiat Antiphonam, Ecce Sacerdos Magnus: Thus the Popes Holiness rideth into any City in his Pontificalibus. The Cardinals light from their Horses, and come reverently unto the Pope, and kiss his foot. The Bishop of the City cometh likewise to the Pope with dew reverence, and offereth him the Cross to kiss: which the Pope shall kiss reverently, keeping on his Mitre notwithstanding. For while be sitteth on horse back, his horsemen cannot very easily take of his Mitre, and set it on again. Howbeit, if it shall like him to put of his Mitre, it shall be no great inconvenience. Afterward the Bishop shall begin this Anthem, Behold the Great Priest. And so he pricketh forth in his Pontificalibus.
