A short worke but which it shewes the lucidnesse of that minde and his felicity in explicating the most arduous things At the end of the said six yeares or not long after there were two occasions out of which it was believed there sprung another disturbance because upon the death of the Generall which was master Gabriel who was created 1603 being fifteene yeares later then the foundation of the designe of that creation was at first laid there was supplyed to that government a nephew of his by the name of Maestro Santo with onely the bare title of Definitor who having his uncles hopes though not his power and especially failing in that aptitude of his to serve the Court at all assaies which the General was allwaies wont to do to whom after his death therewere letters found that Cardinall Aldobrandino had writ with his owne hand and Borghese both nephewes to Popes wherein it was seene that at Venice he had beene a servant to the Court in things that might either have cost him his life or else advanc't him to a greater Prelacy Maestro Santo imitated his uncle in this opinion that if he would domineere over the province it was necessary to remove that mote out of his eye which was the veneration and honor wherewith the father was followed And to this purpose he attempted many exorbitant things among which there was one that was most ridiculous It is a custome when Chapters are called togegether that those that have votes make a scrutiny among themselves to legitimate their Capitular actions And that it might be without exception every one reserves himselfe a fredome to question or oppose whom or whatsoever he thinke good So Maestro Santo and Maestro Arcangelo stood up and to doe nothing with much diligence and with power to make a conspicuous buffonery they oppos'd three heads of exception or reproach against father Paul with the indignation and derision of all the Chapter and they were these That he wore a hat upon his head contrarie to a forme that had beene lately published under Gregory the fourteenth That he wore pantables that were hollowed in the soles of the French fashion alledging falsly that it had beene decreed otherwise upon paine of deprivation of their votes That at the end of Masse he did not use to repeate the Salve Regina Things that were no sooner heard then resolved by the Vicar generall the President and the Provinciall into nothing and exploded by all the assembly being rejected and kickt out And because his pantobles were taken off by order from the Judge and caried to the Tribunall it became a proverbe which is yet in use Esser il Padre Paolo cosi incolpabile integro ebe sivio le sue pianisse erano state canonizate The father Paul is so blameles and pure that his very pantobler were canoniz'd That his not reciting the Salve Regina arose not out of any indevotion It would be too long to deliver the ground or reason inducing him not to doe it True it is that he had reasons so well grounded that it was more lawfully omitted by him at that time then it was added by others against the rights of the masse and derogating by a particular decree of about 30 Friers from the universall order of the Church It was observed that in all that action of proposing examining and exploding those exceptions he never spake word nor shew'd the least signe of being affected with it but went on upon occasion of discourse and as he had used to doe with those his accusers and in specie with Maestro Santo who had forgotten his uncles documents which at his death he left with him viz. That he should never attempt any great thing in the province without the opinion of father Paul So not taking counsell where he should have done and being too confident of his uncles merits with the Court and lastly puft up with vaine hopes from a certaine Abbot who was an impostor and is yet living who sold him those hopes at the price of a good silver goblet He trust up his baggage and carried with him to Rome whatsoever he could get being about five hundred duckats which belong'd to the Monastery which he there spent in foure monthes And whereas he went thither full of great hopes he returned againe ful of maltalent and desperation which sent him into Candy to raise a fortune in merchandise where not long after he left his life having first lost and spent what he had By this time wee may say that the fathers quiet studies and his private life were come to their period and that from hence till the end of his life he entred upon another world or rather came into the world wherein it pleased God to call him into employments which he had never thought he should have applied himselfe to But man is not borne alone for himselfe but principally for his Countrey and for a common good That probleme whether a wise man ought to apply himselfe to government let others dispute This father of ours shall give us an example to refuse no paines nor peril for the service of God and of his Countrey And that an honest and wise man is far from that erroneous doctrine invented by a company of seditious coseners who never speake of secular policy but with disparagement although it were instituted of God and in which an honest man may serve his divine majestie with a vocation as pious as excellent and that no other employment can either exceede it or match it as well for the common good as in obedience to that supreme piety which may be exercised in the Church and whereunto God from time to time and since the very birth of the Church hath called even the greatest Heroes of all the ecclesiasticall order At this time was assum'd to the Pontificate the Cardinall Camillo Borghese of Sienna Paul the fifth about the end of the yeare 1605. either because he had beene Auditor della Camera and had taken a great habite of thundering out censures or perhaps being not well affected to the most severe Republique of Venice or else instigated by some religious men as I have it more certaine and by cleerer arguments who like vipers teare in pieces and poyson that brest of state that gave them breeding and nourishment the pretence of the difference being grounded upon some lawes of that common-wealth which were said to be against church priviledges So that things fell into a manifest dissention among them the Pope pretending that those lawes were not onely unjust but cancelled and abolish't on the contrary side the Repub lique maintained that they were just and good lawes and in no interpretation contrary to the lawfull liberties of the Church This businesse boyling betwixt those two great princes some of the primary Senators who had formerly beene the fathers familiars began to confer strictly with him about this controversie for it could not be concealed not onely in

found a better remedy then warme Irons which he carried alwaies in balls wrapt up But at the entrance of Winter his passibilitie increased so much upon him as if his hands and feet had been turned to iron or stone receiving from within no heat and externally but a flying heate His face falne his lips that had wont to bee coloured especially the nether lip with a smiling kinde of sweetnesse were growne livide So it seemed he had chang'd his forme His eyes hollow without their wonted vivacity Nothing could be found to keepe him warme He had lost his appetite that it was not possible to finde that meate for him which after once taking he grew not to loathe and in that he grew to wonder that he had no more command upon himselfe And although that at that age he had all his teeth left yet he began to chew his meate with much difficultie He began to goe double and very heavily scarce able to goe up and downe into his gondola but worse up a paire of staires In his dreames that little that he slept was no more of his wonted non-sence or incongruities but distinct naturall speculative and regularly dicursive which he that observed all things did not onely observe to himselfe but conferred of it with his friends and called a rising by little and little of his soule from the bond and commerce with his body And thus much I doe not finde that others have observed but having told it you of so great a person as this it may perhaps upon some or others make a refection Now nothing more could give him entertainment not so much as to heare a a relation of the successe of affaires how the world went wherein he had from his childhood a speciall delight even to this time One onely delight remained with him in his waking after divine meditations to revolve in his minde his mathematicall and Astronomicall figures and he would say smiling How many words and how many wits have beene framed in my braines He had all the signes of a soule that was ready to take her leave of her old body whose health beginning now to faile was supplied onely by an indefatigablenesse of minde so that he never forsooke his former charge but gave answers to the exhortations of his friends and the authorities of his Patrones concerning the abatement of his travailes saying That this office was to serve and not to live and that every one should alwaies die in his profession above all the Signor Marco Trenisano whose liberty and veracity the father singularly approoved He would often reproach him of a manifest intemperance for seeming to continue his studies and his travell as he had done at other times when his strength was greater and that it was an indiscretion in him not to be sensible of approaching age and other such lilke things which he would heare with delight but yet without ever slacking or letting his bow stand unbent Many times he had so manifest a failing of his strength that he was constrained as he went a long the streete of the Mercery to leane and stay himselfe upon the armes of Fra. Marco And he would not conceale his being ill but gave manifest tokens upon divers occasions of foreseeing his instant end whereof he spoke more then he was wont to doe not onely with a freedome of minde and as of a debt to nature and and an indifferent thing but manifest cheerefulnesse as of a long rest after a weary daies journey And besides his ejaculated praiers which he repeated often with devout sentences of scripture he would most frequently say Nunc dimittis Domine servum tum and to his familiars courage my masters wee are almost at the end of our journey And upon a time as he went to conferre of businesse concerning the government of the province and Particularly the time being at hand that they were to nominate a Prior in this convent of the Servi the father spoke aloud to the provinciall that was present and others A questo pensarete voi here looke you to that I pray you for I shall not be present But he would often say to his familiar friends in a jesting way that he should die in securitie now that at his death there could be no miracles done because Baromus Bellarmine and Colomna and the Pope himselfe were so lately dead before him and almost all those that had written of the Ecclesiasticke part although they were so much younger then he alluding to that rash way of writing which some men use who if a man happpen to die in disgrace with the Romane Court they write that same heavie judgment befell him or that he was strangely dead and that God had inflicted some other punishment upon him as if having formed to themselves a God after their fancies they had also made him the executor of their partiall and interested votes or as if God had nothing else to doe but to punish and afflict such as were fallen into their dissavour or that those that were united in faction to them could be preserved from death more then others And with such petulances as those their writings were for the most part stuft But Christmas being come whereof Father Fulgentio used alwaies to put him minde of being the most holy feast of the nativity of our Lord with accustomed complement which was merely used among themselves to salute the father by saying Ad multos annos sancte pater c. He freely made answer that this was the last that he should see and that so seriously that it was well discern'd to be spoken with more earnestnesse then that which he had wont to say concerning the brevity of his future end And no doubt now he began to feele himselfe very ill and that he was in a high feaver because at other times he had not used to change his custome for any length or continuance of seaver On the day of the Epiphany it appeared that his sicknesse trode upon his heeles and that morning he tooke physick which made him worse because being cal'd to goe to the palace he would not excuse himselfe neither by sicknesse nor that he had taken a medicament such was his modesty So being called the second and third time he went but returned with a manifest impairement of his health being not able for 2 daies following either to take food or rest yet for all this he could not keepe his bed but rising upon sunday about eight a clocke he celebrated masse and went to the table at the refectory where after he had dined came Signor Lingi Scchim to visite him and walkt with him a pretty while Secchim perceived that he was very ill and told him so which he confest and that of necessitie he must goe lie downe which he did according to his custome in his clothes upon a chest causing a coverlet to be throwne over him He continued thus till friday following betwixt such time and his death
