41: The sentry-box is omitted in the accompanying
illustration.]

[Footnote 42: Believed to be derived from _Collis Dianae_. Dunod found
that _Chaudonne_ was an early form of the name, and so preferred _Collis
Dominarum_, with reference to the house of nuns placed there.]

[Footnote 43: Schmidt was not without the support of example in the
indulgence of his warlike tastes. Thirty-eight years before, the
religious took so active a part in the defence of Dole against Louis
XIII., that the Capuchin Father d'Iche had the direction of the
artillery; and when an officer of the enemy had seized the Brother
Claude by the cowl, the Father Barnabas made the officer loose his hold
by slaying him with a demi-pique. When Arbois was besieged by Henry IV.,
the Sieur Chanoine Pecauld is specially mentioned as proving himself a
_bon harquebouzier._]

[Footnote 44: There is a painting by Vander Meulen, representing this
siege, in the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge.]

[Footnote 45: The Church of S. Philibert, in Dijon, now a forage
magazine, has an inscription let into the wall almost ludicrously out of
keeping with the present desecrated state of the building,--_Dilexi
Domine Decorem Domus tuae_, 1648.]

[Footnote 46: 'Qu'on les laisse pour grain!']

[Footnote 47: In the year 1648, it was suspected that some decay was
going on in the material of this Host, and the following translation
from the Latin describes the investigation entered into by the Dean and
a large body of clergy and laity, in order to quiet the public
mind:--'Apres que tous les susnommes (viz. the Dean, Canons, President
of the Parliament, &c.) etant presents eurent adores le S. Sacrement, la
custode fut ouverte avec tout le respect possible; et alors le dit Doyen
apercut un vermisseau roule en spirale, qu'il saisit avec la pointe
d'une epingle et placa sur un corporal ou chacun l'examina; puis on le
brula avec un charbon pris dans l'encensoir, et ses cendres furent
jetees dans la piscine. On put alors constater tout le dommage que ce
miserable petit animal avait cause aux especes sacrees dont les debris
ici tombaient en poussiere, la se trouvaient ronges et laceres, de telle
sorte que l'Hostie n'avait presque plus rien de sa forme circulaire, et
presentait de profondes decoupures partout ou le vermisseau s'etait
livre a ses sinueus es evolutions.']
