"Ask ye, what was the chapel under the Tower beyond the Porche? He was for the reliquaries, and ye did enter hym from the garth on the syde of St. Mary's and uppe four steppes to him, and soe through to the upper garth and ye road to the John's Gate." * * * * * "Wysdom--it was best soe. The Land was ycovered with the houses of God, and the grass he could not grow, and it was in the providence of God that the houses were destroyed, for they held no life. Men desired fuller life in ye world, and to travel far; and the old faith[53] was no longer needed, for the minds of men were no longer as ye beasts that perish, but each man was a light unto himself and did need no father to control him--so it was best, though much loveliness was destroyed in the undoing. The Spirit liveth still, and what we lived for, in new guise we give to you. Grow in the Spirit. We are a symbol of great truths, and ye read the symbol aright. That which we did dream lives on, and in the Spirit we pass it on to you, from symbol to symbol--ever higher, ever wider. [53] _I.e._, the old system. "As great books were we, and our work was in stone--a language handed down for you to read, which we had forgotten, and so fell. "What wold ye?" At this point there was a pause in the writing. Neither F.B.B. nor J.A. were aware of anything that had been written. The sheets were replaced and laid aside as they were filled, and nothing was suggested during the writing by either sitter. There was a little conversation on other subjects. At this point it occurred to F.B.B. (though in ignorance of the question "What wold ye?") to ask the following, and he wrote it down on the paper. _Q._ "_Do you confirm all that was told us of the Italian design of the chapel of the Loretto? Please say what building in Italy was the model chosen by Abbot Richard Bere for this work._" _A._ "Francesco de Padua aedificavit. Two would speak of it--he who made it and I who moved for my fannes and English. We both made hym--I, and he, my friend." "Capella di Marco[54] at Padua--hym by the Key.[55] [54] Not mentioned in Cesare Foligno's _Story of Padua_, but there is a chapel of St. Mark figured in a mediæval map of the town. The mention of this saint tends to explain the lions mentioned in the 1916 script, which had hitherto seemed an incongruous feature, if not quite out of place on a chapel of Our Lady.--F.B.B. [55] The Chapel of St. Mark occupies, in the map, a place not far from the river, and near the mediæval bridge of St. Mathio. As the River Bacchiglione was navigable, it seems quite probable that there would be quays along its banks within the city. "Dominic di Vallera Castiglione[56] aedificavit anno 1497--via St. Ursula." [56] This name is quite unknown to either of us.--F.B.B. At this point the sitting was broken off and resumed on the evening following--17th August, 1917.
