then ascended to q sort OF tower, where
the relics were; and with them there was
q knight OF the emperors household.
They then came forth chanting their
hymns. with lighted tapers, and
many incense bearers before them: and
they placed the relics on high table
covered with a silken cloth, in the body
Of the church.
1.-The relics were contained in a col
ored chest. which was sealed with two
seals of white wax, on two plates OF Sill
YER. They opened It. and took out two
large silver gilt plates, which were placed
on the top of the relics.
"They then produced a bag Of white
dimity, sealed with wax. which they
opened, and took out a small round gold
en- casket, in which was the bread which
our Lord Jesus Christ gave to Judas at
the last supper as q sign who 1t was

Rome.)
1T was as fine as thorn. and Of we'll

On the board. which was covered with
gold, and the iron was not bright but
quite dim.
There was also fixed on this board a
piece OF the cane which they gave our
