G. Gualterius After this he gave the Original Briefe to the Master of the ceremonies of his Highness who was Signior Carlo Pompeati Canon of the Cathedral Church of Trent a person famous for his birth and education who read it with a lowd and clear voice and then gave it into the hand of the Notary there present My Lord Ho●sterius added some latine words which began Though this thing in open view c. He sate down and was covered according to instruction And here then the cushion being brought before him which as we said before was laid on the last step of the Altar the Queen conducted thither by the Arch-Dukes quickly and freely kneeled down upon it Holstenius presented her the printed forme of the Profession saying to her the following words This is the solemn and usual form of Professing the Catholick faith the holy Church of Rome useth and her Ma●esty is to read before me and the witnesses here present with a clear and distinct voice and afterwards with her own hand subscribe And both the Arch-Dukes standing about the Queen together with Don Antonio Pimentel as witnesses desired her Majesty with a clear distinct and lowd voice read the following Profession I Christina believe with a firme faith and professe all and every thing contained in the Creed of Faith the holy Roman Church us●th namely I believe in one God the Fathe● Almighty Maker of Heaven and Earth of all things visible and invisible and in one Lord Jesus Christ the onely begotten Son of God and borne of his Father before all times God of God Light of Light true God of true God begotten not made consubstantial to the Father by whom all things are made who for us men and our salvation descended from the Heavens and was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary and made man crucifi●d also for us and suffered under Pontius Pilate and was buried And arose the third day accord●ng to the Scriptures and ascended into Heaven sits at the right hand of his father and is to come again with glory to judge the quick and the dead of whose Kingdom there shall be no end And I believe in the Holy Ghost the Lord and giver of life who proceeds from the Father and the Son who together with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified who spake by the Prophets and in one holy Catholick and Apostolical Church I confesse one Baptisme in the remission of sinnes and expect the resurrection of the dead and the life to come Amen I firmly admit and embrace the Apostolical and Ecclesiastical Traditions and the other observances and constitutions of the same Church I likewise admit the sacred Scripture according to the sense our holy Mother the Church hath held and holds to whom it belongs to judge of the sense and interpretation of the holy Scriptures neither will I ever receive and interpret it but according to the unanimous consent of the Fathers I likewise professe seven true and proper Sacraments of the new Law instituted by Christ Jesus our Lord and to the salvation of mankind though al to every one are not necessary namely Baptisme Confirmation Eucharist Penance extream Unction Order and Matrimony and these to conferre grace and of these Baptisme Confirmation and Order cannot be reiterated without Sacriledge I receive and admit the received and approved rites of the Catholick Church in the solemn administration of these Sacraments I embrace and receive all and every thing which have been designed and declared in the holy Council of Trent concerning Original sin and justification I also professe that in the Masse there is offered up to God a true proper and propitiatory sacrifice for the living and the dead and that in the most holy Sacrament of the Eucharist there are truly really and substantially the body and blood with the soul and divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ and a conversion made of the whole substance of the bread into the body and of the whole substance of the wine into the blood of Christ which conversion the Catholick Church calls Transubstantiation I likewise confess that under each kind Christ is whole and entire and a true Sacrament to be received I constantly hold there is Purgatory and the souls there detained are helpt by the suffrages of the faithfull And that in like manner the Saints raigning together with Christ are to be honoured and invocated and that they offer up to God prayers for us and their reliques to be held in veneration I firmely assert the images of Christ and of the blessed Virgin as also of other Saints are to be had and retained and due honour and reverence to be given to them I likewise affirm the power of indulgences is left by Christ in his Church and their use very healthfull to Christian people I acknowledge the holy Catholick and Apostolical Roman Church to be the Mother and Mistress of all Churches And I promise and swear true obedience to the Bishop of Rome the successor of Saint Peter the chief of the Apostles and Vicar of Jesus Christ And all other things delivered defined and declared by the sacred Canons general Councils and especially by the holy Council of Trent I undoubtedly receive and professe and the contrary and all heresies whatsoever condemned rejected and anathematiz'd by the Church I also condemne reject and anathematize This true Catholick faith without which none can be saved which I here professe willingly and do truly hold the same entire and inviolable I will by Gods assistance most constantly retain and confesse and as much as in me lies endeavour that the same may be held taught and preacht by my subjects and those under my command I the said Christina doe promise vow and swear so help me God and these holy Evangelists CHRISTINA Her Majesty read the said Profession with such forcible expression that all remained no less astonisht than toucht with compunction at such an heroick resolution and here 't was observed that at every new period or parcell of the Scripture aforesaid her Majesty lifting up her head and fixing her eyes in the countenance of Holstenius with the freedom of her sight shew'd what resolution and affection her heart labour'd with so as this generous action so soften'd the minds of the assistants that from the eyes of many the teares out of tenderness trickel'd down in abundance The said Holstenius was not able to suppress them without difficulty and violence while he thought with what melting affection the mind of his Beatitude would have been mov'd if he had seen that action the noblest and most memorable of all to be seen in the world Her profession being ended and the oath contain'd in it taken Holstenius stood up and recited the following Verses and Prayers O Lord God of vertues convert us and shew thy face and we shall be safe Arise O Christ and help us and deliver us for thy name sake Let thy

mercy O Lord be upon us as we have hoped in thee O Lord hear my Prayer and let my cry come unto thee Our Lord be with you And with thy spirit Let us Pray O God who shewest the light of thy truth to the erring to the end they may return into the way of justice grant to all of the Christian profession to reject those things that are contrary to this name and correctest those and dispersed gatherest them together and gathered together preservest them We beseech thee mercifully to pour on Chr●stian people the grace of thy union that all division rejected vniting themselves to the true pastor of thy Church they may be able worthily to serve thee OMnipotent eternall God receive this thy sheep with thy fatherly piety withdrawn by thy power from the jawes of the wolfe and renew her to thy flock by thy mercifull ben●gnity that the enemy rejoyce not at the dammage of thy family but that in her conversion and delivery thy Church as a pious mother may congratulate a daughter that is found O●od ●od who man wonderfully created according to thy image dost mercifully repair propitiously behold this thy servant and what is stolne from her by the hostile blindness of ignorance and deceit of the Devill pardon and absolve through the clemency of thy piety that receiv'd by the communion of thy truth shee may be united to thy holy Church through our Lord Jesus Christ thy sonne who liveth and raig●eth God with thee in the Vnity of the holy Ghost world without end Amen He afterwards sate down and was cover'd giving her absolution in the following forme God forgive thee and absolve thee from all thy sinnes and bring thee to life everlasting And I by Apostolicall authority wherewith I am impower'd to this purpose by the speciall Commission of our holy Lord the Pope Alexander the Seventh absolve thee from all tye of excommunication and interdict and other ecclesiasticall sentences censures and punishments howsoever incurr'd and receive thee into the bosome of our holy mother the Roman Church and restore thee to the holy Sacraments of the same and to the Communion and unity of the faithfull in the name of the Father and the Sonne and the holy Ghost Amen After this hee arose up again and gave her the benediction in the following words Confirme O God that thou hast wrought in us From thy holy Temple which is in Hierusalem Behold thus shall the man bee blessed that feares the Lord. Our Lord bless thee from Sion Who hath made Heaven and Earth The blessing of God Almighty the Father and Sonne and holy Ghost descend vpon thee and remaine alwayes with thee Amen Then the Queen stood up and was by their Highnesses conducted to her first place whither Holstenius repairing in a very low posture congratulated her Majestie and incontinently caus'd the Psalme to bee sung Make yee jubilation to God all the earth c. with musique of exquisite voyces of Organs Trumpets Tabours and Drums And while the said Prelate going into the sacristy prepared himself to sing the solomne Mass father Staudacter a Jesuit Preacher to the Arch-Duke made a Sermon in Dutch so elegant learned and so fit for that action that it ravisht the affections and applauses of all After Mass which was celebrated with the greatest sollemnity Holstenius stay'd on the last step of the Altar and began the Te Deum which was sung with the same harmony accompany'd by the roaring of above 50.
