Excerpt from Memoirs of the Council of Trent: Principally Derived From Manuscript and Unpublished Records, &C, 1834 Good Friday. This was, if we believe the writer, (for he ofi'ers no proof, ) accomplished. The child was slaughtered on the 24th of March, and transfixed in various places, with aecom panying wishes, that, as they killed the God of the Christians, so all their enemies might be eternally confounded. They then cast the body into the river, where it ran under their house, giving it out that it was carried by the stream, till stopped by the grating near their premises. But the truth was divulged by miracles, (what, is not said and the thus convicted Jews were thrown into prison and punished. Alban Butler says they were broke upon the wheel, and burnt. The reader, however, who wishes to form a just estimate of papal fidelity in this instance, as well as obtain some information with respect to the story, may consult the able and convincing Vindiciw Ecc. Ang. Of R. Southey, Esq, p.417, with his references. He will learn, in particular, what is the value of Mr. Alban Butler's assertions in the book referred to. That farrago of truth and falsehood, piety and superstition, has lately obtained stereotype facilities of dissemination; honest Alban, however, has made two or three mistakes. He has mistaken theyear of the birth of the infant, 1472, for the year of his martyrdom, 1475; he has made Simon about two years old when he was above; and he has converted the kidnapper into a physician, the profession of the narrator, Tuberinus - not Tiberinus. But the innocent victim was honoured with many miracles - that was enough. There is a very curious representation of the transaction in a wood-cut in the Nuremburg Chronicle, ed. 1493, fol. Ccliiii.
