And on the Morrow, his Maiestie being willing to receiue the Order of the Holy-Ghost, ••eparted from the Bishops Pallace, about ••hree houres after Mid-day, and came to the Church of our Lady. There he heard the E∣••en-song of the Holy-Ghost (Sung by them of ••he Kings Chappell, and Musicall Voices ioy∣••ed with Instruments) and assisted by the As∣••ociates, Prelates, Commanders and Officers ••f the Order, attired in their great Cloaks and Collers of the Order.

At Magnificat, the Bishop of Chartres, Of∣••ciant in Pontificalibus (after he had Encen∣••ed the high-Altar) presented the Encense to ••is Maiestie, sitting vnder his Cloath of State 〈◊〉〈◊〉 the first Chaire of the Quire, entring on the ••ight hand.

After the Prayer of Sanctus Spiritus, said at ••e end of the Magnificat, and the Episcopall ••enediction; his Maiestie went to the Altar, ••here presenting himselfe on his knees, hee ••oke and signed the Oath, as Head and So∣••eraigne of the Order, vpon the true Crosse (as they say) lying on a square Cushion of Cloath of Gold, fairely fringed with Red, ••eld by two Priests, and on the Booke of the ••oly Euangelists, then held by Phillip Hu∣••ult Count de Chiuerny, and de Limoux, Chancellour of France, and of the two Orders of the King. Behold here the tenure of ••he Oath.

Signed Henry

The King hauing made and signed the Oathe, the Lord of Rhodes, Great Mai∣ster of the Ceremonies of France, and Great Prouost of the Order; cloathed his Ma∣iestie with the great Cloake of the

Order. Vpon the Mantelet whereof, the Lord Bishop of Chartres (being the Officiant) pla∣ced the great Coller thereof, making the signe of the Crosse, and saying: In the Name of the Father, and of the Sonne, and of the Holy-Ghost.

The Lord de Beau-Lieu-Ruze, high Treasu∣rer of the Order, deliuered into the Bishops hand, the Crosse of the Order, fastened at a faire Riband of Celestiall Blew Colour, to put about his necke, and a paire of Beades of Tennes, to present them to his Maiestie: who hauing receiued them from the Bi∣shop, gaue them to the Lord de Rocque-Laure to keepe.

These Ceremonies being ended, his Maie∣sty was conducted backe to the Chaire, where the Prelates-Associates, Commanders, and Officers of the Order, went to him, and kis∣sed his hand with all humble reuerence. And Compline being finished, his Maiestie retur∣ned to the Bishops Pallace; with the same Pompe, Traine and Magnificence, as he had when he went to the Church.

The Thirteenth Chapter, was held in the Augustines at Paris, on Sa∣turday, being the seauenth day of Ianuary, in the yeare One thou∣sand fiue hundred foure∣score and fifteene.

ABout three houres after Noone, his Maiestie departed from the Hostell, Sir-named of Hercules, in regard that his imaginarie Labours (reported by Poets) are very ingeniously there figured both with∣in and without it. But yet belonging to the house of Nantouillet at which Hostell, euermore hath bin made the meeting of the Knights of the Holy-Ghost, from the first Institution there∣of, and as often as the Ceremonie hath bin ce∣lebrated at Paris. And thence he went to heare the Euening Seruice at the Augustines, accor∣ding to the accustomed obserued Order.

After the singing of Magnificat, and the Prayer to the Blessed-Spirit: His Maiestie, as∣sisted with the Great Almoner, and Officers of the Order, went and sate somewhat neere to the high Altar. And at this Session, were made Knights and Associates of the Order, as fol∣loweth.

In this present Yeare, One Thousand, Sixe Hundred and Nineteene, when wee finished this long labour, which had well neere worne vs out of breath: His most Christian Maiesty, in the deuotion which he beareth to the holy Sepulchre of our Sauiour in Ierusalem, and to preserue the memory of his Order of the Ho∣ly-Ghost, in those Marches beyond the Seas, caused to be made (for sending to the said ho∣ly Sepulcher) the Ornaments and deckings necessary for the performance of diuine Ser∣uice there.
