Vol. I. to ITALY. 107
represent the History of the Fall of Al»m. One of
us, as he passed by the Old Man,ask’d him,since he
kept at a distance from them, whether he was of
the Company ; the poor Creature answer’d very
serioussy, That he was God the Father, and that
if we would slay a little, we fliould see him ad
his part, with his little Dagger-carrier, who was
St. Michael the Arch-Angel. Such is the effed of
the representations which they make of the De-
ity !
A quarter of an Hour after this fine Rencoun-
ter, we pass’d by the Fort of Chemitx,, which
is built between two inaccessible Rocks, and fe-
perates the County of Tirol from the Biflioprick
of Freifinghen. This Biflioprick is in Bavaria ;
and Tirol is one of the Emperor’s Hereditary Pro-
vinces. We came very late to the Village of See-
seld, after we had past thro’ many Turnings and
Windings among the Mountains. There is a
Convent of Augufiines in this Village, and you
may see in their Church two or three pretended
Miracles, with which they make no small noise.
They tell a Story of a certain Gentleman, na-
med Milsr, who lived in the Castle of Schlosberg,
about a quarter of a League from thence; and
was very much dreaded in this Village, that he
was so vain as to desire to Communicate with the
great Flost, which is only for the use of the
Clergy : They endeavour’d to disfwade him from
such a dangerous Frolic ; but all in vain. When
they had put the Host into his Mouth, it cast out,
as they say, a ssood of Blood, and at the same
time the Legs of the Communicant sunk into the
Pavement up to the Knees: He would have sup-
ported himself on the Altar, but the Stone gave
way, and softned under his Hand, and the poor
miserable Man had been swallowed alive, if he
had not been retriev’d by a speedy Repentance.
