his Cardinals All without difference were alike made captiues all alike tortured He that was rāsomed to day by the Spanish to morrow was again in durance to the Germans Caesar writeth his letters to the Pope and the King of England that all this happened besides his priuity or command yea that he would not acknowledge such transgressors for his souldiers who durst attempt so wicked a seruice Yet sticketh hee not to attribute the mishap to the secret iudgements of God who would not suffer so grosse an indignity concluded against the Maiesty of the sacred Empire to escape without punishment Bona verba The Pope being restored to liberty maketh shew of great friendship but in secret worketh him all possible vexation For either vpon hope to possesse the Kingdome of Naples a precise condition in the articles or else in desire of reuenge he so wrought with the French king to renue the warre that at his direction Lautrick was sent into Italy for the conquest thereof But such was the euent that Lautrick died the pestilence raged through the Camp and nothing was effected Wherupon the French king for the loue of his children as yet captiues in Spaine was glad to accept of the proffered conditions The Bishop alwaies accustomed to goe with the streame vpon the peace perfected at Cambray betweene the Emperour the French and the other Princes enstalleth Charles at Bononia with the Imperial diadem and aydeth him in the siege and conquest of Florence the people whereof hee saw punished most seuerely But his Holines had not forgotten to requite Charles with many like courtesies if God had bestowed longer life vpon him For within three yeeres after hee had complotted a league with Francis the French King at Marsellis to take Millan from Caesar to inuade Sauoy bestowing his niece Katherin vpon his sonne Henry if to the good of the Christian common-wealth he had not beene by death preuented and that not without the suspition of poison as some suppose Could a more treacherous man be found liuing then this Clement who continually being taken into fauour and alliance with Caesar continually betrayed his faith and of a dissembling friend euermore proued a professed enemie After the decease of Clement succeeded Alexander Farnesius otherwise Paul the third a man almost spent with age yet of a farre more subtile disposition For vpon obseruation that the controuersies in religion did daily more and more augment and propagate with singular affection he studied Caesars fauour but to no other purpose then in thirst of the German bloud to combine his Maiestie and the other Princes in stricter bonds of perseuerance to take armes against the Lutherans hypocritically giuing out to all persons and in all places and that vpon his faith that hee would speedily assemble the Generall counsell so often petitioned and promised to the Germane Nation And surely so he did first proclaiming it to be held at Mantua then at Verona and lastly after the expiration of many yeares at Trent but not with any intention to salue the greeuances of the Christian Common-weale or the distemperature of the Church but that by holding the Germanes in suspence vpon the finall determinations of the Councel meane time he might win time to effectuate his secret resolutions viz. the suppression of the truth and the restitution of Germanie now through the light of the Gospell beginning to shake off Babilonian tyrannie to it pristinat captiuity So in the yeare of our Lord 1546. he celebrateth the Councell at Trent and maketh all possible faire weather with the Germanes But with what intent surely to combine the nobility to instigate his Maiestie to begin the warre against the Protestant Princes and the Euangelicall Cities In the beginning whereof good fortune prognosticated a prosperous progresse vnto Caesar by the taking of Iohn Frederick Elector of Saxonie the Lantgraue of Hessen the confiscating of all Wittembergs estates and the finacing of many confederat Cities yet in being too officious to giue his Holines content in keeping his prisoners more strictly then Honour could warrant and in coyning new articles of religion to the Popes best liking such an alteration followed vpon the rising of Maurice Prince Elector and Albert of Brandenburg and other new confederates that dismissing the captiuated Princes and granting liberty of Conscience through Germanie so disaduantageous were his proofes of papall countenance that he often wished that he had preferred the loues of the Princes before the Popes surest alliance For although to confesse truth the proceedings of Paul against his Maiestie were slower and better caried then those of his predecessors in regard that hee was his Champion to manage bloudy and difficult stratagems against the seruants of God yet vpon the death of Peter Aloysius duke of Parma Placentia murdered by treason for his tyrannie when Ferdinand Gonzaga Caesars Generall and Gouernour of Millan was inuested in his stead the Pope presently mistrusteth Caesar for an author of the murder and in vaine requesting the Restitution of Placentia he strait starteth from Caesar and bethinketh himselfe how to ioyne with the French And had ioyned in deed if hee had longer liued the time offering so fit an opportunity For now Henry vpon the defeature of the Princes and the seizing on Placentia aboue expectation growing into iealousie of the powerfulnesse of Caesar renueth his league with the Switzers and strengthneth his party with friends on all hands But in midst of these reuengefull deuises this miser dyed distracted more through griefe and anguish then any infirmity of Age the tenth day of Nouember 1549.

Iulius the third is saluted Pope being before his installment of the French faction and after so giuen ouer to belly-cheere and venery that he died of a Lethargy and wanted rather leisure then will to attempt against Caesar But Paul the fourth a most diuelish Hypocrite and next succeeding Marcellus the second a Pope also of a few daies standing by the packing of the Cardinalls wholly deuoted to the French seruice was consecrated High Priest This man during his Cardinalship was Caesars most malitious enemy Insomuch that by his prouocation Paul the third was perswaded to inuade Naples as an apourtenāt of the Church But now enioying fuller meanes to worke fuller despights hee maketh open profession of his late concealed malice and prosecuteth his followers with indignities of deepest fury For no sooner was he seated in the Chaire of the scarlet Beast but he casteth into durance Alexander Farnesius Cardinall of Sanflorian Camillus Collonna and Iulianus Caesar with his brother the Archbishop vpon suspition of a conspiracy complotted against him in fauour of the Imperialists As many the Seruants and ministers of Caesar here and there negotiating his affaires through Italy as he could lay hands on he seazeth and amongst these Tascis master of the forests to his maiesty and don Garzia Lassus a Duke of

against him but causing all things that had beene iniuriously taken from him to bee restored hee presented him moreouer with great masses of Gold Siluer and Iewels And appointing him a time of conference secretly and friendly hee repeated what he knew of his fore passed offences wishing him therafter to abstaine from so grosse and foule enormities To leade a thriftie life to bee an ornament and not a dishonour to the Church That integritie of life was no lesse commendable in a Churchman then Artes and learning For the present the Pope protesteth great hopes of amendment The Emperour reioyceth thereat and leauing Rome iournieth towards Papia there minding to Winter but withall exacteth a solemne Oath from the Bishoppe taken vpon the body of Saint PETER THAT IN HIS ABSENCE HE SHOVLD NO WAY BE ASSISTING TO BERENGARIVS NOR HIS SONNE The Emperour had scarce left the Gates of Rome but the Bishop returning to his wonted inclination not onely followeth his pleasures his Whoredomes his Ryottes his poysenings and all other mischiefes of like nature but also hauing forgotten his plighted faith to the Emperour reuoketh Adelbert from Fraxineto whether hee had fled out of Italy to the Saracens and promiseth him his vtmost assistance against the Emperour Hee dispatcheth also his Legats to make like complaint against him at Constantinople The Emperour vnto whome such grosse and wilfull periurie seemed more then wonderfull vpon the first intelligence thereof thought it not fitte rashly to listen thereunto but dispatcheth certaine of his Seruaunts to Rome to learne the certaintie of the businesse Vpon their returne and iustification of these and more vile indignities the Emperor not vniustly moued to displeasure suddenly hasteth towards Rome where pitching his tents hard vnder the walles Iohn and Adelbert being fled into Campania he is most honorably receiued into the City by the Inhabitants Vnto him they promise faith and loyalty and sweare thereafter neuer to elect a Pope without the consent of the Emperor Otho Caesar Augustus and his Sonne Otho Iohn being thus escaped and for feare of Caesar lurking in Campania in woods and corners after three daies at the instance both of the Clergie and the people desiring a Commission to enquire vpon the life and conuersation of Iohn the Emperor agreeth and proclaimeth a Councell whereunto he calleth all the Bishops and Abbots of Italie such as he knew to bee men of integrity honest and zealous Who appearing vpon the day prescribed although his abominable life was such that euen by the generall opinion of the Councell it could not but be deciphered by the remotest Nations yet this most vertuous Emperor tooke order that they should not proceed to any rash Iudgement but to determine all accusations with mildnesse of mind and deliberate advice Whereupon with the Archbishops of Liguria Tuscanie Saxonie and France he dispatcheth his letters vnto Iohn reciting therein the cause and maner of his accusation not forbearing to intreat him to make his personall appearance to say for himselfe against his accusers But he returning for answer that it should easilie appeare what slight esteeme he made of that Councell And that he would suddenly proceed to Excommunication in case they presumed to elect Any other the Emperor in a most solemne Oration intimateth to the Councell his periuries towards himselfe and his dishonest conuersation towards the whole Christian world Vpon hearing wherof with one consent the Councell declared this Apostata Iohn for his euill life to be worthilie depriued And Leo chiefe Secretary of the Romane Church was chosen to succeed him In the interim wherof the Emperor not to be burdensome vnto the State of Rome had dismissed many of those companies of Souldiers which at first hee had brought with him into Italie Which comming vnto the vnderstanding of this reprobate Bishop who full well was acquainted with the disloyall and mutable humours of the Italian Nation sendeth his espialls to Rome with exhortations to the people to attempt a surprize vpon the Emperor and his weake companies for which their good seruice he promiseth to reward them with all the Treasures of the Church and Saint Peter The Romans being hereunto incouraged partly by the weaknesse of Caesars army and partly with the conceit of these Golden mountaines arise and at the sound of a Trumpet charge vpon the Emperor He maketh a stand vpon the Bridge of Tiber and there with his fearelesse and old Trained companies valiantly receiueth the charge The Romanes receiue the iust reward of their trechery for being routed and put to flight neither sanctuary nor vnsanctuary could warrant any one mans life the fury of the Souldiers slew the periurd aswell at the Altar as in the Shambles When this was done Caesar stood in good hope that after so great a punishment the Romanes would proue afterwards to be of more quiet and aduised dispositions and in this conceit he hastneth to Spoletum the place of Adelberts rendeuou Vpon which absence Iohn betaking him to his wits through the mediation of certaine good-wenches heretofore of his ancient acquaintance so worketh with many of the Roman gentry that Iohn is receiued into the City and Leo with much labour escaping their hands flieth vnto the Emperor The deposement of Leo and the cruelty of Iohn which he had already inflicted vpon some few being known Caesar repaireth his Army with intention to be revenged vpon the Romans as well for the iniury offered to his own person as for the wrong in deposing a Bishop of his owne institution In midst of which intendment by the iudgement of Almighty God meaning to make this Iohn an exemplary president to the world of his most iust indignation it came to passe that he died a most strange kind of death For when vpon a certain night without the walles of the City hee was sporting himselfe with an other mans wife the diuell gaue him such a knocke on the Temples saith Luitprandus of Ticine that within eight daies he died of the wound Other write that he was wounded by the womans husband and so gaue vp his impure soule to the diuell his master whom he had long serued But death gaue no surcease to the seditions first occasioned by this monster For the Romans in place of the deceased set vp Benedict the fift and afterwards required Confirmation from the Emperor then residing at Spoletum The Emperor disallowing the Election disdainfully dismissed the Romans little mistrusting any such welcome and by fire and sword wasting all things about the City finally compelled them that expulsing or rather yeelding vp Benedict they should accept of Leo binding them by Oth that they should not presume to alter any thing which he had set down for the Churches gouernment Hereupon Leo being restored to his Sea at Barionea and over wearied with the disloyall humours of the Roman people retransferred the whole Authority of chosing the Roman Bishops from the Clergy and people of Rome vnto the Emperor as it is set downe
