Thus therefore it is appointed, Cùm Papa per scalam ascendit &c. When the Pope taketh his stairs to mount on Horseback,1 the greattest Prince, that is present, whether he be King, or Emperor, holdeth his Stirrup: and afterward leadeth his Horse a little way forward by the Bridle. But if there were two Kings in presence, the more Honourable of them should hold the Bridle of the Right side: and the other of the least. If there happen no King to be present, then let the worthiest persons lead his Horse.2 But if the Pope would not ride, but he borne on mens shoulders in a Chair, then must four of the worthiest Princes, yea the Emperor him self, or any other mighty Monarch, if he be present, bear the Chair, Pope and all, a little way forward upon their shoulders. Again, Imperator, traditis Pomo, & Sceptro &c. The Emperor delivering over his Golden Apple, and his Sceptre to one of his men, cometh unto the Popes Horse, and in honour of our Lord Jesus Christ, whole person in Earth the Pope heareth, he holdeth the Stirrup, until the• Pope be mounted: and afterward he taketh the Bridle, and leadeth forth his Horse. While the Emperor doth these profitable offices, the Pope ought modestly a little to refuse the same: and yet afterward, with certain good, and gentle words, taking that honour as done to Christ, and not unto him self, he holdeth him self contented.
