The carrying about of images in “procession,” is another relic of the religion of the Greeks and Romans. For they also carried their idols from place to place, in a kind of chariot, which was peculiarly dedicated to that use, which the Latins called thensa , and vehiculum Deorum ; and the image was placed in a frame or shrine, which they called ferculum : and that which they called pompa , is the same that now is named “procession.” According whereunto, amongst the divine honours which were given to Julius Caesar by the senate, this was one, that in the pomp, or procession, at the Circaean games, he should have thensam et ferculum , a sacred chariot and a shrine; which was as much as to be carried up and down as a god: just as at this day the Popes are carried by Switzers under a canopy.
