Touching the Bishop of Rome,1 it is not for nought, that S. Gregory saith, Rex Superbiae in foribus est: The King of Pride is even at hand. In the Popes own Book of the Ceremonies of Rome, 2it is written thus, Electus Imperator cum suis omnibus, seruato ordine, per gradus ascendit suggestum. Et ut primùm videt Pontificem, detecto capite,3 illum, genu terram contingens, veneratur: & iterum, cùm appropinquat ad gradus Sedis, genuflectit: demum, ubi ad Pontificis pedes peruenit, illos in reverentiam Saluatoris Devotè osculatur: The Emperor Elect going in array with all his train, passeth up the stairs into the Scaffold. And as soon, as he seethe the Pope, he worshippeth him with bare head, touching the ground with his knee: Again, when he cometh to the foot of the Popes throne, he kneeleth down. Last of all, when he cometh unto the Popes Feet, he kisseth them devoutly in the reverence of our saviour. This is ordered, as a special Ceremony, and appointed unto the Emperor, as part of his duty.
