William Ocham alludes to the story, and John Huss, only too happy to believe it, provides the lady with a name, and asserts that she was baptized Agnes, or, as he will have it with a strong aspirate, Hagnes. Others, however, insist upon her name having been Gilberta; and some stout Germans, not relishing the notion of her being a daughter of Fatherland, palm her off on England. As soon as we arrive at Reformation times, the German and French Protestants fasten on the story with the utmost avidity, and add sweet little touches of their own, and draw conclusions galling enough to the Roman See, illustrating their accounts with wood engravings vigorous and graphic, but hardly decent. One of these represents the event in a peculiarly startling manner. The procession of bishops, with the Host and tapers, is sweeping along, when suddenly the cross-bearer before the triple-crowned and vested Pope starts aside to witness the unexpected arrival. This engraving, which it is quite impossible for me to reproduce, is in a curious little book, entitled "Puerperium Johannis Papæ 8, 1530." The following jingling record of the event is from the Rhythmical Vitæ Pontificum of Gulielmus Jacobus of Egmonden, a work never printed. This fragment is preserved in "Wolfii Lectionum Memorabilium centenarii, XVI.:"-- "Priusquàm reconditur Sergius, vocatur Ad summam, qui dicitur Johannes, huic addatur Anglicus, Moguntia iste procreatur. Qui, ut dat sententia, fœminis aptatur Sexu: quod sequentia monstrant, breviatur, Hæc vox: nam prolixius chronica procedunt. Ista, de qua brevius dicta minus lædunt. Huic erat amasius, ut scriptores credunt. Patria relinquitur Moguntia, Græcorum Studiosè petitur schola. Pòst doctorum Hæc doctrix efficitur Romæ legens: horum Hæc auditu fungitur loquens.
