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

great learning who was expresly there to satisfie her Majesties demands The Queen saw their communion and when the Masse was done a Priest bringing to her the bread that was blessed she tasted some of it The said ceremonies being ended she arose up very gladly having satisfied in that her curiosity which desired to understand and know all things and was accompany'd out of the Church by the Fathers aforesaid and other Cavaliers As she was never idle so to exercise continually her mind and entertain it in noble and vertuous habits besides musicall Consorts which from time to time she had in the evenings in her lodgings at which great Personages were present she gave order to Count Francis Maria Santinelli Gentleman of her Chamber to bring her a list of the persons fam'd for learning and experienced in the Academies of Rome and acquaint them with her Majesties desire to have them hold their Academies in her Palace And as every one justly sought to shew her a dutifull respect not only with the tribute of reverence but with their parts and talents so they were most ready to comply with her desires which no sooner were made known unto them but many fruitfull wits with which the Court of Rome still abounds were employed in her praises The Fathers of the Society who justly may be called the Oracles of the Sciences not permitting their sublime wits to sleep nor their fortunate Pens to be idle as they knew that the Queen so great a lover of learning would see their Roman Colledge the most happy schools of the Sciences and piety so they put those compositions together which they thought not so much to be sutable to the ornament of the place as meet for the reception of a woman who exceeded the capacity of men in the knowledg of the most profound literature And indeed in the rich mine of their sublime wits they found so much matter that all that beheld it were astonisht and amazed at the numerous and proper applications of so many images Mottos Hieroglyphicks and Emblems all alluding to the Person alone of this renowned Princess On the 18th of January after dinner her Majesty came to the said Colledg with her usuall attendance accompanied by so many Persons that she could hardly get in her self though the gate was well lookt to by the Guards of the Switzers set expresly there to hinder the disorders which usually occurre in the like crowds and throngs At the entrance into the said Colledg was a great quadrangle with walkes round about supported by Pillars under which in three parts the Schooles are extended All the Pillars were adorned with the pictures of women remarkable in learning with their medalls of embossed work coloured like brass and under two thick pastboords of the like embossed work In the first they read the elogy of each one which was still applied to the qualities of the Queen and in the second they saw a Motto on the same subject In the semicircles of the Arches the Universities and Colledges in which those Fathers teach were painted with their Inscriptions Between the Pillars and each door of the Schooles were represented the particular donatives of each City offered to the Queen and displaied underneath with an Epigram written within a wreath supported by an Angell The second place was the room of the gate through which they goe into the Colledg In this they represented the statues of the Queenes renowned for their raignes expressed in darkish colours and standing on their bases under which in severall pastboords hung their Elogies all applied to her Majesty Between one statue and another on a great gilt pastboord were the Emblems relating to the vertues required in Princes and under the Epigrams of the Emblem All these roomes seemed adorned with red damaske with twisted gold being so naturally painted that they cozened the eyes in case they were not toucht The leaf-workes had interchangeably on them the Armes of her Majesty and the Mottos alluded to the vertues aforesaid In the third place were extended the little walkes which are behind this roome in the which as contiguous to the garden was painted most excellently a beautifull garden with a prospect of various Pillars in which were written elogies and odes on the Empresses and Queens renowned for their vertues and piety on the doores four Emblems with their Epigrams being delineated The fourth and last place was the space between the sacristy and the Church and there they saw painted the Empresses and Queens come to Rome to honour there the Vicars of Christ The painting represented a plain in which were erected great Pyramides in every one of which was imprinted an Elogie in praise of that picture which still had relation to her Majesty between the one Pyramide and the other was a fained bound of brass which held up an ode on the same subject and on the other between these hung a paper with an Epigramme The Church of the said Colledge dedicated to St Ignatius the founder of the Society of Jesus albeit not yet finished was most beautifully adorned As her Majesty went in at the great gate she saw on the first arch within an inscription containing the argument of all the preparation and in the space between the great gate and the walkes of the Court on the right hand was painted the heavenly wisdom desired by Solomon and preferred before riches and Kingdoms on the left hand Pallas the wisdom of the ancient Gentiles who with her speare made an Olive-tree grow up in opposition to Neptune who caused a horse to appear All this was display'd in 4. odes written on thick past-boards supported by the bounds in four pillars and in four others the Sybills and Muses who with their predictions and verses alluded to her Majesty She went afterwards up into the roome o're the Gate where a throne being prepar'd she was complemented by Father Lodowick Bompiani the Rector of the said University with a Latin oration Being come without the Court she went up and down all the Schooles in every one of which she was welcom'd by one of the most eminent Scholars with a short Epigramme Being afterwards returned into the said roome o're the gate she was by Father Rho the Provinciall informed of the contents of that noble preparation and heard him read the names of those renowned Princesses Thence she went into the Church where she heard a motetto with most exquisite musick and afterwards departed This vertuous preparation was most curious and noble and therefore the concourse of the people to see and admire it was great On the first of February her Majesty went to see the Colledge of Urbane for the propagation of the Faith where Cardinall Capponi as Vice-prefect of that Congregation in the absence of Cardinal Anthony Barberino the Prefect was ready to receive her She was first conducted into the printing-house where they print two and twenty severall tongues and she saw in an
