which we may make a judgment of the Madness and folly of that old crafty Knave. This Letter is extant in _Rhegino_, a Benedictine Monk, and Abbot of _Prunay_, [Footnote: _Abbot Pruniacensis_] an irrefragable Testimony in an Affair of this Nature; 'tis in _Chron. anni_ 753.--"_Stephen_ the Bishop, Servant of the Servants of God, &c. As no Man ought to boast of his Merits, so neither ought the wonderful Works of God which are wrought upon his Saints without their Desert, to be buried in Silence, but published abroad as the Angel admonished _Tobias_. I being constrained thro' the Oppression of the holy Church, by that most wicked, blasphemous, and not worthy to be named Wretch, _Aistolphus_, to fly for Refuge to that _excellent and faithful Votary of St._ Peter, _Lord_ Pipin, the most _Christian_ King, took my Journey into _France_; where I fell into a mortal Distemper and remained some Time in the District of _Paris_, in the venerable Monastery of St. _Denis_ the Martyr. And being now past Hopes of Recovery, methought I was one Day at Prayers in the Church of the same blessed Martyr, in a Place under the Bells: And that I saw standing before the great Altar our Master _Peter_; and that great Master of the _Gentiles_, our Master _Paul_; whom I knew very well by their Vestments.

Then presently Lord _Denis_ taking a Censer full of Incense, and holding a Branch of Palm-tree in his Hand, accompanied with a Presbyter and Deacon, who assisted him, came near to me, and said, Peace be with thee, Brother, be not afraid, thou shalt not die until thou return in Prosperity to thy own See. Rise and be healed, and dedicate this Altar to the Honour of God, and the Apostles St. _Peter_ and St. _Paul_, whom thou seest standing before thee, with Masses of Thanksgiving. Whereupon I was presently made whole. And being about to accomplish that which I was commanded to do, they that were present said I was mad. So I related all that I had seen, to them, to the King, and all his People, and how I had been cured; and I fulfilled all that I was bid to do. These Things happen'd in the 753d Year, from the Incarnation of our Lord on the Ides of _August_; at which Time being strengthned by the Power of _Christ_, between the Celebration of the Consecration of the above-mention'd Altar, and the Oblation of the Sacrifice, I anointed King _Pipin_ and his two Sons, _Charles_ and _Carloman_, Kings of the _Franks_. Moreover, I laid Hands upon, and
