The next day, the 8th of September, the Milanese came forth to humble themselves before the throne of the Emperor, lay themselves at his mercy, and take the prescribed oaths. They walked in procession. The Arch bishop led the way, attended by all the clergy, secular and regular, bearing crucifixes, censers, and other emblems and implements of worship in the Roman Catholic Church. Next came the consuls, municipal Officers, nobles, and knights, barefoot, with their naked swords hanging from their necks. Last in the train appeared the whole male population, rich citizens, shopkeepers, handicraftsmen, and the like, similarly barefoot, and with ropes about their necks. They passed along the lane formed by the army, drawn up in two lines for the occasion, until the foremost ranks reached the steps of the throne, upon which sat the Emperor, encircled by his princes, prelates. And nobles. Then Milan, in the mass, sank prostrate in the dust before him.(8)
