Room against the middle of the Table was the Kings Picture at large in his Royal Robes and over against it divers Hieroglyphick figures with the Kings Arms over them The Ambassador having now done his part he was complemented by several great Persons and Academies in Rome being invited to splendid Entertainments accompanied with Musick Orations Poems Plays Masks Dances and other Exercises as every one thought sit to set forth the respect they bore to the King in the Person of his Ambassador The first that invited him was the Queen of Sweden then Cardinal Pamphilio Cardinal Fran isco Barbarini the Fathers of the Gregorian or Roman Colledge the Clementin Colledge the Academicks of the Infecondi and lastly he was entertain'd at the Popes Palace at the Ceremony of giving Cardinals Hats in open Consistory for the Pope was prevail'd with at length to make a new creation of Cardinals and four that is Ciceri Petrucci Caraffa and Medici receiv'd their Hats the 24th of May 1687. Other Hats had been sent where the Cardinal resided as to the Cardinal of Furstemberg c. and now the Ambassador takes his second leave of the Pope and had his Benediction again for his being present at this Ceremony obliged him to see his Holiness tho' he had before had his Audience of leave the Benediction with a pair of Beads at which hung a Gold Medal of our Saviour and on the 23th of June 1687. he left Rome and return'd homeward I do not find that this Ambassadour was much caressed by the Pope but rather slighted for on his telling the Pope that if he were not better used he would leave Rome the Pope reply'd You are Master of that as you please Whether it were because as some say the Pope was a Protestant in his Heart and did not favour the designed Perversion of England or as others with more probability out of his covetous temper because it was look'd upon that little profit was like to accrue from England to that See at least for his time Or rather because the King of England was link'd in alliance with France betwixt whom and the Pope there were continual differances Or lastly which is chiefly insisted upon because the King of England was altogether influenced by the Jesuits and the Ambassador now there gave himself intirely up to their conduct whose Mortification this Pope always endeavour'd and not without reason for as to their Religion he liked not their Morals and as to their Power in all Christian Princes Courts it exceeded his and they were got into such a condition that if differences should arise between him and them they were likely enough to give him some check and in the mean time lessen'd him in that Grandeur of Government which he aspir'd unto by their interposing in the State Affairs of most Nations without concerning themselves with him at all therein He looked upon them as a distinct and Independant Society Subject to none but their General from whom alone they receive all their prefrements and to whom therefore they pay an absolute Obedience without reserve and that they had got great riches in all places and only us'd it for the advantage of the Society This year 1686. November the 5th the River Tyber swell'd to that prodigious height that it not only drown'd the Neighbouring Country but put several quarters of Rome under water which continued to the 7th and then the waters began to decrease this Inundation was not so high as one that happen'd in the year 1657. yet did an unspeakable damage drowning several people and a great number of Cattle and overthrowing many houses and part of the wall of the Castle of St. Angelo and damnifying one of the Bassions so much that it was in danger to fall the Pope took care to have the People assisted with Boats and Provisions and what else they should want 300 Men were employ'd suddenly to build up the wall of St. Angelo's Castle and assistance was given to people towards their losses The Pope now to give some ease to his Subjects took off the Impositions upon Provisions which was farm'd at 65 thousand Crowns per annum In the beginning of December Father Charles de Noyeles General of the Jesuits dyed and in July following the Society chose Father Thyrso Gonsales a Spaniard for their General who had a contest in himself whether he should visit the French or Spanish Ambassador in the first piace he would willingly have wav'd visiting either but that could not be admitted he at length resolves it and visited the French first at which the King of Spain ordered the Jesuits in his Dominions not to own the new General and the French King in retaliation forbade several Religious Orders to obey their Generals being Spaniards On January the 30th 1686. The Duke D'Estrees who had resided 15 years at Rome in the Quality of Ambassador from France dyed of an Apoplexy The Pope now resolv'd to take the opportunity to put the Bull effectually in Execution for regulating of the Franchises which hitherto he had been easy in and accordingly did abolish the Franchises of the Palace of Farnese where the late Ambassador had had his residence and caus'd the Sbirris or Officers of Justice to appear therein of which the Nuntio at Paris acquainted that King who seem'd not willing to quit that point He afterwards let him know also that the Queen of Sweden had voluntarily quitted the Franchises of that quarter adjoyning to her Palace at Rome admitting the Sbirris to execute what belong'd to their Office therein the King notwithstanding shew'd an unwillingness to admit it and hence grew another Controversy between the Pope and the French King as shall be shew'd hereafter And now its time to be making preparations for the next years War In February the Popes Nuntio in Poland undertook to provide Magazines with Provisions c. for the Army of that King and in March the Prince of Lubmirki Great Marshal of Poland came to Court where the Muscovite Ambassadour gave their reasons why they did not advance further the last Campagne and promised for the next year with their Auxilliaries to have a brave Army in the Field Another Ambassador from thence was also at Vienna who went away well satisfy'd yet in the latter end of June they return'd to the borders of Muscovy after they had made some little incursions into the Tartars Country without ever seeing an Enemy The Pope Emperor and King of Poland had formerly sent Envoys to the Sophy of Persia at Hispahan who were there a year before they could be admitted to audience to have answer to the Letters they brought which were to set forth the advantage the Christians had gained over the Turks in the late Wars and to encourage him to bring an Army at so considerable a juncture of time as this was which if omitted he might expect not only to be frustrate of such another opportunity but be also set upon by the Turk

but proceeding towards the Evening by way of Access Seven only drew unto him On the Sixth day a second Scrutiny being made Corsini had 27 Votes and at the Access in the Evening 14 only appeared for him However Chigi who managed it for him did not doubt of carrying it till Cardinal Nitardo Ambassador for Spain opposing it drew off the Spanish Party and the Grand Duke of Corsini's Faction followed Chigi then endeavours to gain the French Party but was countermined by Altieri and the Flying Squadron things appearing thus a Party of Cardinals united being called the New Squadron who pretended Zeal for the Church and to be solely moved by a Principle of Piety to promote one eminent for Learning and Wisdom without regard to Secular Interest Cardinal Pravina was a chief among these and at his first entrance into the Conclave had fixed upon our Odescalchi for whom he used all his Endeavours and would not be drawn off and Scrutiny being again made he had so wrought that 36 Voices were in his Favour enough to secure the Election insomuch that it was given out That the Election was made and People came flocking to the Gates so that the Guards were doubled to keep off the Crowd who pressed into the Precincts of the Conclave Yet at the Access some fell off for Altieri and Chigi laboured underhand seducing some in hopes of being preferr'd The Spaniards also were willing on further consideration to spin out the time of giving a final dermination expecting to hear from the Court of Spain The French Cardinals were chiefly for Rospigliosi but in case his Interest should fail they approved best of Odescalchi who though he were a Subject of Spain yet his Vertues and sincere Intentions reconciled him to well-meaning Men and made others shy of opposing him unless they could carry it as their respective Interests lead them which none else could form a Party to do because the New Squadron who were firm to him were 16 in number and with their Adherents could always make above a third part which was enough to prevent any other of his Complement though they could not carry it themselves Barberin and Chigi had a Negotiation for Jachenetti that ballanced the New Squadron and were probable to succeed for on Scrutiny he had 22 Votes but on Access in the Evening 11 only Whereupon the New Squdron renewed the Scrutiny and found 29 in their Candidate's favour By these several Scrutinies it appeared the Conclave were inclined most to Odescalchi which again occasioned a rumour in the Town That he was chosen and the other Parties finding they could not prevail were likely to joyn and indeed the Conclave had then proceeded to have compleated the Choice and by Accession created him Pope had not the Cardinal d' Estree suspended the Proceedings by a Request made That their Eminences would for some time suspend their final determination until the Arrival of some French Cardinals who by that Kings Order were on their Journey towards the Conclave which he said was not to hinder the choice of so worthy a Person for whom he also concurr'd but that his Christian Majesty might have opportunity thereby to joyn with them in so sacred an Election by the consent and approbation which he was ready to yield unto The Conclave in the mean time would be practising and set up others every one being willing to leave no stone unturn'd that might any wise conduce to advance one to the Chair that they propos'd to themselves Interest in or at least to gain it by being the Instruments for their Advancement Azzolino promoted Conti whose Interest being small he with Chigi the Spanish Party and the Great Dukes sets up Piccolomini and to allure Altieri engaged to advance his Friend Bichi to be Cardinal Nephew but Altieri had other designs Chigi failing herein sets up Spinola but no more than 7 Votes could be procured in his Favour on the Scrutiny Then some propos'd Crescentio but the Duke d' Estree Ambassador for the French King esteem'd him an Enemy to France whereby that Party was too great for his Promoters Then on a new Scruti Odescalchi had 14 Voices Carpegna 7. Alberici 9. Gastaldi 9. Albici 5. and Crescentio 3. After this manner divers designs and Intreagues were working till the arrival of the four French Cardinals which was the 13th of August and then a speedy Election was expected but those hopes were soon blasted for still they were embroiled and Arbritio by the dextrous management of Altieri and others was in a fair way but the several designs of others were enough to oppose any one that still they thwarted and no one party could gain his Complement On September 1. the French Cardinals entred the Conclave with a great train and concourse of People after them crying out for a speedy Election and naming Rospigliosi and Odescalchi And the French Party seem'd to encline to the later But their King being greater in the Conclave as well as in other Princes Councils they would not joyn a sufficient number to conclude the matter until they had his approb●tion and an express is sent with their Informations and for Instructions and so still the time was delayed and the Cardinals began to quarrel among themselves on slight matters since they could not carry their designs in the greater nor so well vent their Gaul about it Colonna and Maldachino could not refrain giving one another such reproachful Words as Fool and Beast upon a small account but with others concerned in it grew a contest between Buglion and Howard for that the former had not return'd a Visit that the latter had made him Buglion to excuse himself frankly told him That it was the King's express Command not to acknowledge the Cardinals of the last promotion Howard would not allow his Excuse alledging divers particular respects that the French King had made him and caused him to be treated in all parts of France as he passed through it from London to Rome as a Cardinal and now the others of the same promotion joyn him but the French opposing the Conclave feared that disorder and confusion would ensue and therefore procured the French Cardinals to subscribe a Letter to their King beseeching him to give Orders to his Embassador and Cardinals to visit and own those Cardinals of Clement the Tenth's Promotion which otherwise might cause a Schism and many Inconveniences to the whole Conclave to the disturbance of the present affair until Answers were return'd to the Dispatches Such an Ascendent had this Monarch though at such distance over this great Council that though they pretend to the Conduct of God's good Spirit and sing the Veni Creator yet the Spirit of France must direct them that they would not joyn in an Election till they heard thence which though by making Parties they could somewhat obstruct yet they could not prevail for any other and in divers Scrutinies it was always most favourable for our Odescalchi
