all times when they tolled the Church-Bell to give men notice of the honour which is to be paid to the Sacrament, on a sudden this Dog went out of the house, after that he returned: When the sign was given that the Priest was going abroad with the H. Sacrament, he hastily returned to the Church, and stayed till he saw them come forth with the H. Eu∣charist under a Canopy, then jumping towards the Children that march∣ed before with the Cymbal, he went and came to this side and that side, as if he would set in order the procession that was made for Jesus Christ. The Dog is gentle and peaceable in his conditions, being accustomed to live among men, but yet at such times, he neither obeys nor owns any person, no not his Master, if he should chance to call him. In this manner he goes along to the sick persons house, waits at the door or in the street; afterwards brings back our Lord to the Church, and stays there till he be again placed in the Tabernacle. One night hearing the Bell for carrying out the Sacrament, he would go away, as his Custom was, and finding the house-door shut, he came to his Masters Chamber, and went round his bed, barking lovingly, that some body would open the door; which not being done, he found a Servant that was yet awake, after he had fawned on him, running round him, he pluckt him by the Coat, and drew him to the Gate, which when he had it open, he went streight to Church, and the H. Sacrament being brought back, he return∣ed home. Another time accompanying the H. Sacrament, he met a Ped∣lar sleeping by a fountain, and taking his Asse by the Halter, he ran bark∣ing at him, and never ceased till he had waked him, and saw him kneel and adore the H. Sacrament. Another time, following the H. Sacrament, he met a Country-woman upon an Asse, immediately he fell a barking a-loud, and leapt upon the woman, who being frighted, no body giving her notice, she alighted and adored the H. Eucharist, and the Dog with∣out making a noise pursued his way, leaving her in peace. Another time following the H. Sacrament, he met a Gentleman of Quality, who not seeming as if he would alight, he thereupon set upon him barking furi∣ously, till be had done so, and had adored Jesus Christ. Nevertheless the horse gave him a kick, which hurt the Dogs foot, which the Gentle∣man commanded his Servant to take care of, but he would not be catch'd, but followed the H. Sacrament limping and holding one foot up; but when he came home, he let them of the house look after his hurt foot, and it was quickly healed. The same Father reports many other respects this Dog had shown, to constrain men to honour God in the H. Sa∣crament; and though some endeavoured to withdraw him from such re∣spects, yet he continued them. The Dog was then alive at Lisbon, when the Reverend Father wrote his History in the year 1635. P.
