There is a famous Abbey, bearing his Name, at _Compeigne_ in the Isle of _France_, where his Reliques, and those of St. _Cyprian_, are supposed to be kept in the same Shrine. But how can we reconcile this with what we read in the Council of _Reims_, held in 1049. under _Leo_ IX. _viz._ that the Body of St. _Cornelius_ was removed by the Clergy of _Compeigne_, from that City to _Reims_; and received there by the Pope[N6.1]? But, on the other hand, the Council is contradicted by _Aubertus de Mira_, who assures us, that, in 860. the Reliques of Pope _Cornelius_ were translated from the Abbey of _Inde_, standing about Four Miles South of _Aix la Chapelle_, to that of _Rosnay_, which is, at present, a Collegiate Church in _Flanders_, between _Oudenarde_ and _Tournay_. In this Church is still to be seen a Shrine, supposed to contain, as appears from the Inscription, the Bones of St. _Cornelius_ and St. _Cyprian_[N6.2]. Footnote N6.1: Conc. t. 9. p. 1033. 1042. Footnote N6.2: Vide Bolland. 12 Feb. p. 607. et Pamel, p. 23. ----- _Eusebius_ observes, that, in the Time of _Cornelius_, the Church of _Rome_ was in a most flourishing Condition; for, not to mention the People, who were almost without Number, it consisted of 46 Presbyters, 7 Subdeacons, 42 Acolytes, 52 Exorcists, Lectors, and Janitors, or Door-keepers, and 1500 Widows, and other Poor, who were all maintained by the Alms and Offerings of the Faithful[407]. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- GALLUS, LUCIUS, VOLUSIANUS. _Twenty-first_ BISHOP _of_ Rome.
