The school of the Eucharist established upon the miraculous respects and acknowledgments, which beasts, birds, and insects, upon several occasions, have rendred to the Holy Sacrament of the altar : whence Catholicks may increase in devotion towards this divine mystery, and hereticks find there their confusion / by F. Toussain Bridoul ... ; printed in French at Lille, 1672, and now made English, and published ; with a preface concerning the testimony of miracles.

Mares and Oxen passing through a Marsh, adore our Lord in the H. Eucharist.

IN the year 1399, a Woman and her Daughter that served a Jew at Pos∣nanie in higher Poland, engaged themselves for a great Summ of Money, to deliver consecrated Hosts to the Jews. To effect this, on the day of the Virgins Assumption, they lay hid in the Church of the F. F. Dominicans, and when the Friers were gone to Dinner, the Daughter being upon the watch, the Mother went towards the Tabernacle, and thô the first and second time of her approach she fell backwards, being repuls'd by a divine force, yet she came on the third time and opened it: she took out of the Pix three Hosts which they delivered to the miserable Jews, after they of this Sect had assembled together in a Cellar under-ground, they threw them down contemptuously upon a Table, and after they had uttered many Blasphe∣mies, they stabb'd them with a Dagger, from whence issued out great quan∣tity of Blood, and the first mans face was so covered therewith, that he could never wipe it away, but by the flames of his Punishment; the Cellar also was all full of Blood, which they could not neither any ways get off. The Jews being frighted with these wonders, charged two among them, to hide these Hosts in the Marishes out of the Town: During this journey many Miracles happened.

On Sunday the Octave of the Assumption, a Neat-herd and his Son; led the Mares and Oxen they had the charge of, to these Marishes; the Father left his Son there, whilst he went to be present at the Divine offices. This youth named Paul, saw these three Hosts lifted up in the Air, and fly like Butterflies, which the Mares that passed there, adored kneeling; and the Father at his return saw the same, his Oxen kneeling also down to adore their Creator.

The Neat-herd returning to the Town, reported to the Magistrate that which he had seen, but instead of being believed; he was thrown in Prison for a Fool; where he crying to Heaven for succour, the Prison gates opened

of themselves, and he went out, and presented himself again before the Magistrate, who having observed, that he was no man of tricks, made their report of it to the Bishop, who went thither with great Pomp and Procession; the Hosts were gathered up by a Priest at the Bishops command, and search being made the hardened Jews were burnt, and their Goods confiscated. Ʋladislaus King of Poland caused a Church to be built in that place, under the Title of the Body of Jesus Christ, where God wrought Miracles of all sorts: among which they reckoned 36 raised from the dead, and from the beginning of these Miracles, to the year 1604, their number arrived to 382. This History was written by Tho. Treterus, Almoner to Cardinal Rosius, and afterward Canon and Sacrist of Varme in Poland. Bzovius reports this history in his 5th Tome in the year above noted.
