At the baptism of the hell
they pray literally fir tio bell.

There are more psalms read st
the Baptism of a Bel; _than as
tie Baptism of a Ciiido so 4-2

At • the Baptism of a Belli
there are more Prayers used,
and, ex cepting salv Atkin, greater
things are prayed for,And more blessings on the Bell, than on the
Child. But for the better proof of • this point, I s!tall here give
part of one of the very curioAs prayers put up for the Bell at -its
baptism :
grant that wheresoever this holy Bell, thus
washed [sir baptised] and blessed shalt sound, all deceits of Satan,
all danger of whirivitntl, thunders, lightnings, and tanpests, may
be driven away, and that devotion may anomie in Christian men
when they hear it ! 0 LORD, sanctify it by thy holy spirit, th::
when it soucds'in thy people's ears they may adore-Thee!
.May
their faith and devotion increase, the Devil be.alraldrad tremble
and By at the sound of it ! U I.OkD, pour upon.it thy heavenly
Wow, that the fiery darts of the Devil may be made to
backwards at the sound thereof; that it may denims. from danget
of, wand and thunder, &c. And grant, Lord, that all that come
In the chuich at the wuud of it may be free from all temptations
Mate Devil. 0 1.09 D infuse into it the heavenly dew Of thy
Hay Ghost, that the devil may always fly away before theacounsi
of It, &c. &c.
The doctrine of the Church of Rome tOncerning
bells, is, first, that they have merit, and pray Gon•for
the living and the dead ; secondly, that they produce
devotion in the hearts of believers; thirdly, that they
drive away storms and tempests; and fourthly, that
they drive away devils.
- The dislike of evil spirits to the sound of bells is'er.
tremely well expresssed by Wynkin de Worths, in the
Golden Legend :—" It is said, the evil spirytes that ben
in the region of th' ayre, doubte moche when they
here the belles rongen ; and this is the cause why the
belles ribgen whan it thondreth, and whan grete tem•
peste and outrages of wether happen, to the ende that
the teinds and wycked spirytes should be abashed and
flee, and cease of the movynge of tempeste."
As to the names given to bells, I beg leave to add,
that the bells of Little Dunmow Priory, in Essex, new
cast A.D. 1501, were baptised by the following iamb t
Prima in honore Sancti mmiaelie Archangel'.
Secuada in honore S. Jeknoxis Evangelisti.
Tertia in bonore 8. Jahaffais
Quetta in honor. Assemptieau beat* Mole. •
Quints in hams *Saadi Triiiratit, et omnium saneterens.
In the dodder near Su Paul's stood the four great.
est bells in. England, called Jeser's kilt j against these
Sir Miles Partridge staked £lOO, and won them of
Henry VIII. at a cast of dice.
I conclude with remarking, that the Abbe Cancel.
fieri, of Rome, lately published a work relative to
bells, wherein he has inserted a long letter, written
by Father Ponyard to M. de Saint Vincens, on the
history of bells and steeples., The Abbe wrote this
dissertation on the occasion of two bells having been
christened, which were to be placed within the tower
of the capital.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, '

At Chita Baptism, there are
public Prayers made.

assnim was preparing, as usoal, to exhibit the relics
of their Saints from the gallery of St. Peter's, asto.
