All this Cavalcade pass’d thro’ the Capitol, the Court whereof was hung with Tapestry of red Damask lac’d with Gold Tinsel. The Marquis _Frangipani_, a _Roman_ Senator, receiv’d the Pope, and presented him the Keys of the Capitol, after making a short Speech to him, which the Pope answer’d by a Benediction. At _Campo-Vaccino_, thro’ which the Train pass’d, the Pope found near the _Farnese_ Vineyard a triumphal Arch, which the Duke of _Parma_, as Feudatory of the Holy See, is oblig’d to erect every Time that the new Popes take Possession of the _Lateran_ Church. From the Capitol to the said Church, which is a very considerable Distance, the Streets were hung with Tapestry furnish’d by the _Jews_, who had brought out a great many moth-eaten Rags for the Purpose. When the Pope alighted from his Litter, he was receiv’d at the Gate of St. _John de Lateran_, by the Cardinal _Picus de Mirandola_, Arch-priest of the said Church, who presented the Holy Father with the Cross to kiss, and being preceded by the Chapter of St. _John de Lateran_, conducted him to the Throne which was erected on the Right-side of the great Gate. The Pope being there seated, array’d himself in his _Pontificalibus_, and put on the Mitre, after which he admitted the Chapter to kiss his Foot. Then the Cardinal Arch-priest harangu’d him in the Name of the Chapter, and presented him the Keys of the Church, one of which was of Gold, the other of Silver, in a Silver gilt Bason adorn’d with Flowers.

The Pope kneeling before the Holy Sacrament, made a short Prayer, and went and plac’d himself upon a Throne erected at the Bottom of the Choir facing the Entrance. There he receiv’d the usual Obeisance of the Cardinals, Bishops, Prelates and other Clergy, and then gave his solemn Benediction to the Standers-by, being assisted in this Ceremony by two Cardinal-Deacons, who put on his Mitre, and took it off, just as the Service requir’d. Then his Holiness descended from the Throne, and being seated in his Procession Chair, was carry’d to the _Lateran_ Palace. During this, the Musick play’d Anthems, and the Cardinal Arch-priest read several Prayers. When the Pope arriv’d at the great Pew fronting the spacious Square that opens towards the City of ROME, he ascended a very high Throne, and gave his Benediction twice to all the Christian People. Then he saw some slight Medals scatter’d among the Populace, which were struck with his own Die. After this, he was
