I my- self was at that same time with the king in Turkey, ( 3 ) and I have also seen the three discs [left] in the church. The church of Sancta Sophia has three hundred gates, which are all of CHAP. 59. ] THE GREEK CHUECH. 81 brass. I was in months at Constantinoppel in the house of the patriarch, but I and ray comrades were not allowed to walk about the city, because they were afraid that the In- fidels would recognise us, and would take us before the em- peror. I would gladly have seen it (th...e city), but it could not be, because the emperor had forbidden it, but even then we sometimes went out with the patriarch's servants.
59. — Of the Greek religion.
It is to be noted, that the Greeks do not believe in the Holy Trinity ; they do not believe in the Chair at Rome, nor in the Pope. They say that their patriarchs have as much power as the Pope at Rome. The sacrament they make of leavened bread, and take it with wine and warm water ; and when the priest changes the body of God, they all fall down on their faces and say : " No man is worthy to look at God/' And when the priest has finished the Mass, he takes the bread that remains, of which he had prepared the sacra- ment, and cuts it into small pieces on a dish, and then men and women sit down.
