A Set of Beads, or more strictly a Corona Virginis; it is of fine wrought Ivory dyed a Crimson Colour. A lesser Set, of different Number as well as Workmanship. A much finer Set upon a Crimson Ribband near two Yards long. This was taken from the Image of the Virgin Mary at Alicant, and brought thence by Capt. Cary. Don. D. Fr. Middlebrook. I must confess my self at a Loss for the strict Number of Ave's that compose the Crown of our Lady; the first of these hath 53 Ave's (and six Pater Nosters): That which was used by the Countess of Richmond (Mother to K. Hen. 7th), Bishop Fisher tell us had 63, and this last hath 74. if, according to the different Places, Rome held then the Medium, for the Cardinal saith expresly, that the Countess's was after the Manner of Rome. Of the Virgin's having ten Prayers for one to her Son, see a noted Vicar of Leedes Works †, wherein he refers to a particular Form, wherein were 150 Ave's, yet is quite out-done as to Nubmer by the Jesus Psalter, wherein the Word Jesu is repeated in the 15 Petitions 450 Times: But to give them their due, in the late Edition of King James the IId's Time they are reduced to 150. I have both the Editions.
