THE CEREMONY.

foot high, made a very handsome speech in his com-
mendation, pronounct it very plain and gracefully. He
insisted upon a parallel between their hopes now and
their former calamyties, though touch't but lightly upon
Parthenius, I suppose for fear of his returne. He compli-
mented the Metropolites and expatr. (ex-patriarchs) with
the presage of future happiness, and their good choyce
he commended, etc. The new Patriarch all the while
lookt humbly down to the ground. After it, he returned
a short and modest answer. Next came up toward the
Sacristia (above the Orator a great deal) the Bishop of
Heraclea, with a pastorall staff, and, holding it in his hand,
made another pretty compliment, partly to the New
Patriarch, partly (turning about) to the company, and then,
going up to him, presented it to him, and kist his hand..
Then he on his left hand, and another on his right, lead
him along to his seat. In the midway, the ex-Patriarchs,
rising from their seats, met him and kist him {alia graeca,
del un ed altro omero1), then return'd to their seats ; he
goes on to his. Then come all the Metropolites, pass in
order, and kiss his hand ; returning to their seats imme-
diately, they passe on towards high masse. The Gospels
are bound very rich in Embroidery gold and silver, and have
the crosse on the side, which, as it was brought back from
the pulpit (in which it was read), the patr., ex-patr., and
the French Embassad. kist. The host, before it is conse-
crated, is brought through the body of the Church, at
which all the Patr., expat., Papa., etc., uncover their heads
(and come downe), which at other times is cover'd with a
black knit kind of Monmouth with eares, and a kind of
course listany hood over it, which they put of and on upon
many occasions. Before consecration and elevation, all
adore to the ground, the patriarch, expat., etc. Masse
