A late LETTER From the Citty of FLORENCE VVRITTEN By Signor Fabricio Pisani a Counsellor of the Rota Touching these present Distempers OF ENGLAND VVherein Hee with some of the prime Statesmen in Florence give their Judgments which way the said Distempers may be totally Compos'd VVith som signal Remarks upon the Nativity of CHARLS the second c. LONDON Printed in the Year 1660. A Letter sent from the City of Florence Written by a Great Counsellor there touching the present Distempers of England wherein Hee with som of the Prime Statesmen in Florence passe their Judgements which is the only way to compose the said Distempers My Honored and most Endeared Patron IT is no small diminution to my former happinesse that I have not receiv'd your commands any time these two months which makes me lodg within me certain apprehensions of fear that som disaster might befall you in those new Distractions therefore I pray be pleased to pull this thorn out of my thoughts as speedily as it may stand with your conveniency We are not here so barren of Intelligence but we have weekly advice of your present Confusions and truly the severest sort of speculative persons here who use to observe the method of Providence do not stick to say that the hand of Heaven doth visibly stirr therein and that those Distractions in Army State and City are apparent Judgements from above for if one revolve the Stories of former Times as I have done many but you more he will find that it hath bin allwayes an inevitable Fate which useth to hang over all popular Insurrections to end in confusion and disorders among the chief Actors themselfs at last And we have had divers examples thereof here among us which hath caus'd us to be so long in quietnesse and peace But truly Sir give me leave to tell you that your Nation hath lost much of their Repute abroad all the World over in statu quo nunc Som do laugh at you Others do scorn and hate you And som do pitty and comiserat you They who laugh at you think you are no better than Madmen having strange Magots in your brains bred out of the fat of so long wanton plenty and peace They who scorn and hate you do it for your Sacrilege your horrendous Sacrileges the like whereof was never committed on Earth since Christianity had first a hole to put her in They who pitty you are few and We are of the nomber of Them as well in the common sense of Humanity as for the advantages and improvement of Wealth which this State hath receiv'd by your Trading at Ligorne for that Town doth acknowledge her prosperity and that she is arrived to this flourishing Estate of Riches of Buildings and bravety by the correspondence she hath had this latter Age with England in point of Commerce which yet we find doth insensibly impair evry day and I believe you feel it more Therefore out of the well-wishes and tru affections we bear unto England som of the most serious and sober'st Persons of this place who are well season'd in the World and have studied men under divers Climes and convers'd also much with Heavenly Bodies had lately a privat Junta or meeting whereunto I was admitted for one and two of us had bin in England where we receiv'd sundry free Civilities Our main business was to discourse and descant upon these sad confusions calamitous condition wherin England with the adjoyning Kingdoms are at present involv'd and what might extricat Her out of this laberinth of Distractions and reduce Her to a setled Goverment Having long canvas'd the business and banded arguments pro con with much earnestness all our opinions did concenter at last in this point That there was no probable way under Heaven to settle a fast and firm Government among you then for the Men that are now upon the Stage of power to make a speedy application to their own King their own Liege Lord and Soverain whom God and Nature hath put over them Let them beat their brains scrue up their witts and put all the Policy they have upon the tenterhooks as farr as possibly they can yet they will never be able to establish a durable standing Government otherwise They do but dance in a circle all this while for the Goverment will turn at last to the same point it was before viz. to Monarchy and this King will be restored to his Royal Inheritances Maugre all the Cacodaemons of Hell Our Astrologers here specially the famous Antonio Fiselli hath had notes to look into the horoscope of his Nativity and what predictions hee hath made hitherto of him have prov'd tru to my knowledg Hee now confidently averrs with the concurrence of the rest that the aspect of all the starrs and conjunction of the Planetts much favour him the next two yeers Nam Medium caeli in Genitura Caroli secundi Regis Angliae juxta axiomata Astrologiae Genethliacae dirigitur ad radios Sextiles Lunae Anno Dom. 1660. significat accessum ad Dominium For the Medium caeli in the Geniture of Charles the second according to the axiomes of Genethliacall Astrology is directed to the Sextile rayes of the Moon and signifies an accesse to Dominion Add herunto that a most lucky conjunction followes the same yeer in the very Centre of the said Kings horoscope betwixt Jupiter Sol in the month of September When I was employed by this State in Paris not many yeers agoe I had occasion to make my addresse to your young King and when I observ'd his Physiognomy and the Lineaments of his face I seem'd to discern in it somthing extraordinary above vulgar countenances that he carried a Majesty in his very looks and noting besides the goodly procerity and constitution of his body he seem'd to be cut out for a King Now in point of extraction and linage it cannot bee denied but he is one of the greatest born Princes that ever was in the world for whereas his Gran-Father and Father were allied only if you regard Forren Consanguinity to the House of Denmark the Guyses this King bears in his veins not only that bloud but also the blouds of all the great Princes of Christendom being neerly linked to the House of Bourbon and France to the House of Austria and consequently to the Emperour and Spaine as also to the Duke of Savoy and our Gran-Duke Moreover he is neerly allied to all the greatest Princes of Germany as the Saxe Brandenburg Bavaria the Palsgrave to the Duke of Lorain who descends in the directest line from Charlemain Add hereunto that the young Prince of Orenge is his Nephew and which is considerable hee is a pure Englishman born whereas your two former Kings were Forreners The Queen his mother is of as glorious an extraction which makes me admire the frontlesse impudence of som of your poor Pamphletors who call her ever and anon the Little Queen
