Four State-Ministers though bound by excessive Rewards to Secresy And what a wonderful thing was the deposition of the Doge Foscari conceal'd by his own Brother Certainly one cannot without Tears observe that in our Times so great a Quality which seem'd to be proper to the Venetian Commonwealth is something altered by the inconsideration of the young Nobility who not out of Disloyalty but too much Freedom do let things slip from them which ought to be conceal'd I think every Venetian Nobleman ought to teach his Children the use of Secresie with their Catechism but the better way were to forbid all talking of Public Concerns out of the place where they are properly to be deliberated on and much less among those who are partakers of the Secret Let the Honours and Dignities of the Commonwealth be dispensed regularly and by degrees avoiding all sudden Flights because they are dangerous To see a Cloud enlighten'd of a sudden is most commonly a sign of a Thunderbolt to come out of it and he that from a private man leaps in an instant to the Port of a Prince has something of the Player Honours given by degrees keep the young Nobility from attaining them before they are ripe for them and we may observe that as in Physick a man moderately Learned but well Experienc'd is safer for the health of the Body Natural So in the Government of the Commonwealth a man often employed though perhaps of less acuteness succeeds best All Matters of Benefices are very properly under the Cognizance of the Great Council but it would be as proper to take away all Appeals to the Quaranties and place them in the Senate because it often happens that these Causes are to be decided according to reason of State and those Quarantia Judges put little value upon those Politick Reasons And besides it seems a great incongruity that a Sentence where the Person of the Doge and the whole Signoria both intervene should afterwards be lyable to the Censure of Forty Persons of lesser value I believe if it were observed to chastise rigorously but secretly all those Lawyers and their Clients who carry these Appeals to the Quarantias the use of them would be less frequent and in time they would be forborn as if they were forbidden If it should fall out that any of your Subjects should procure a Decree in the Rota or Court of Rome you must rigorously command from him a Renunciation ab Impetratis else all beneficiary Causes will be devolv'd to Rome where they are look'd upon as Sacred and so a fourth part of all Civil Causes would be lost for your own Courts Auditors of the Rota are to be with the Commonwealth like Bishops in partibus Infidelium a thing of Title but without Subjects Let the Bishops of the Venetian State be always praecogniz'd in the Consistory by a Venetian Cardinal without the Circumstance of creating him Special Procurator but as Protector which he really ought to be as other Cardinals brag they are so for other States For the Court of Rome to avoid these procurations to Venetian Cardinals would perhaps desist making any of that Nation that so they might oblige the State to have recourse to Strangers which in time would also prejudice the pretence of being treated as Crown'd Heads If the preconisation be made otherwise let the State seize the Temporalities of the Bishoprick and stop all Pensions laid upon it 'T is true that if the Cardinal Nipote should make the Preconisation and enjoy at the same time the priviledge of a Venetian Nobleman it could not well be rejected If it should ever happen that there should be a Pope I won't say a Venetian for that would be of more danger than advantage to the Government but a Foreigner well inclin'd to the Venetian Republick then would be the time to obtain once for all the Grant of the Tenths upon the Clergy as once it was got under Clement the Sixth whose Bull is unfortunately lost for 't is troublesome to get it renew'd every Five Year or Seven Year and it would be a Point gain'd which still would more and more equal the Republick with Crown'd Heads as also if in the Titles given by the Pope to the Doge there could be gain'd the Superlative as Carissimo or Dilectissimo as is usual to Crown'd Heads it would be a new lustre to the Republick which for want of these things and also because that never any Venetian Nuncio was promoted to be Cardinal is look'd upon at Rome as a kind of Third Power between Crown'd Heads and the Ducal State If I say all this could be gain'd by the State from a Pope there might be some return made by making a Law That Church-men in Criminals should not be judged by any Tribunal but the Council of Ten or Delegates from that Council And now I am speaking of that Council I cannot but inculcate That all means possible should be used to hinder an Avogadore from daring to carry the Decrees of the Council of Ten to be re-view'd or censur'd by any other Council but rather if there ought to be any Change made in them let it be by the same Power that made them otherwise the Consequence will be a constant annihilation of their Decrees and a manifest depression of the great Nobility with an Exaltation of the lesser Touching the Authority of this Council I have this more to say That I could wish that the Delegations of its Power were less frequent with great regard to the Dignity of the Persons as well as to the Splendor of the Government which is always more reverenced when it is least communicated like the Sun-beams which in that glorious Body are of Gold but communicated to the Moon are but of Silver Indeed our Ancestors would have deserved well of us if they had lengthened the time of this Magistracy but because that which was not done in those Old Times can hardly be hop'd in these Modern ones the only Remedy would be to obtain a Continuation of the same persons for another year under pretext of avoiding so many various Elections in so short a time as must be made by a Scrutiny in the Pregadi 'T is true that would exempt the persons continued from the Governments of Expence but as long as that Exemption did not extend beyond a year there would be little Inconvenience in it And if it be objected That this would too much strengthen the Authority of the great ones I answer That it lasting but a few months could not be of ill Consequence and on the other side those hands are as it were tied up which ought to be at liberty to do Justice while every week they may be canvass'd and teas'd by a Party of mean Persons both for the Conditions of their Mind and Fortune I have often admired how the Council of Ten having already all the Criminal Power and a good part of the Judiciary in Civil Causes as well as
