to tell him of it The Venetians are in danger of their Lives at Rome The Popes Discourse in his Anger to the Cardinals His Holynesses Decree against the Venetians Tipoli 's Address to pacifie the Pope Nicholas Ponti extraordinary Embassadour from the Republick to Rome He reconciles the Republick with Gregory the Thirteenth THE HISTORY OF THE WAR of CYPRVS The Fifth Book THE Popes Sickness followed by his Death interrupted the Course of Affairs and stayed Colonni at Rome though all things were ready for his departure The Castles and other Lordships he held in the Ecclesiastical State too much interessed him in the next Election to let him absent himself during the holding of the Conclave But the Cardinals sending for him to the Consistory told him he must not abandon the common Cause in the present Conjuncture and oblig'd him to go and join the Fleet. They gave him Money out of the Churches Treasury to pay the Troops of the Holy See and having taken his Leave of the Sacred Colledge recommending to them his Interests he went immediately to Civita Vecchia where he found another occasion of delay The Great Duke of Tuscany not yet knowing how matters would go touching the Election made a Difficulty of furnishing out the Twelve Gallies the deceased Pope had already hired of him Cardinal Ferdinando de Medicis his Son seeing the other Cardinals highly disgusted at this Refusal cast the Blame on his Fathers Officers and undertook for the Performance of the Treaty made with Pius the Fifth which was no sooner satisfied but Colonni setting sail took his course for Naples thence to pass into Sicily The Cardinals having during the nine days destined to that Ceremony paid their last Duties to the departed Pope entred into the Conclave on the 11th of May and the next day notwithstanding the Powerful Competition of Cardinal Farnese who pretended to the Pontificat they at the solicitation of Cardinal Altemps chose Hugh Buoncompagno who took the Name of Gregory the Thirteenth He was born at Bononia of a very mean Family his Father whose Fortune was no greater than his Birth left nevertheless a great Estate which he got by his Industry and Frugality When Charles the Fifth received at Bononia the Imperial Crown from the Hands of Clement the Seventh this Man who had gotten into Trade made so considerable an advantage of abundance of Wares which the Concourse of Strangers drawn thither by the Pomp of this Ceremony had made dear that he was in a condition to build Stately Houses in a Quarter of the Town call'd The Street of Hell. He caused all his Children to be carefully brought up in Learning and engaged his Son Hugh in the Study of the Civil Law in which he made so great a Progress that having taken his Degree of Doctor he for several years taught publickly in the University of Bononia Being above Forty years of Age when he lost his Father he went soon after to Rome hoping to get there both Wealth and Reputation by following the Profession of the Bar. He there administred some publick Employs with so great Probity and such exact Justice that he successively enjoyed almost all the Chief Offices of the Town He passed several Years without rising to any great Height but his good Fortune in fine declaring it self he advanced much faster in his latter days and was at the Age of Threescore and Ten mounted upon the Papal Throne He was more indebted for his exaltation to the Esteem he had acquir'd of being an Upright Man and a great Justiciary than to Favor or Intrigue He was naturally sullen and slow of Speech but he knew so well how to make advantage of these Defects that his Silence was taken for a Mark of singular Prudence and his Sullenness for an admirable Strength of Wit. Colonni having by the way learnt the Election of the new Pope hasted back to Rome to Congratulate his Holyness who having given him his Orders sent him again to the Fleet. Don John had passed all the Winter in Feasting and Jollity and this Young Prince much more sensible of the Lustre than of the Benefit of his Victory had prepared for the Expedition in Africk not doubting but the Spaniards might engage the Pope and the Venetians in it by perswading them it would not take up much time But having received Advice that it had been resolved at Rome to attack the Infidels in Greece he departed with all his Fleet from Palermo and came before Messina He sent some Vessels of Burden to Corfou and making a shew of no small Impatience at Colonni's stay without whom he could not go against the Enemies he would oblige Leonardo Contareni who was sent to him from the Republick with order to stay there and see the Navy set forth to go and assure the Senate that he would weigh Anchor as soon as ever Colonni whom he daily expected should have join'd him with the Popes Fleet. Colonni being in fine arrived the Venetians under pretence of shewing greater Honour to Don John or to hasten his Departure sent from Corfou into Sicily Five and Twenty Gallies commanded by James Sorancio to meet him and represented to him that his delay was highly prejudicial to the Good of the Common Cause and his own Glory Don John one while shewing an extream Desire to second the Republicks Intentions and other whiles excusing himself upon some Preparatives that were yet wanting to the Fleet. Sorancio in vain redoubled his Instances for Don John had a secret order from the King of Spain not to make War upon the Infidels this year but to keep his Fleet along the Coasts of Sicily This he had imparted to Colonni desiring him to favour his Catholick Majesties Designs and amuse the Venetians Sorancio whom a long experience had rendred very quick-sighted discovered this Mystery through all these Disguises and gave notice to his Holyness who complaining of it to the Spanish Embassador that Minister presented to him a Letter from the King his Master in which Philip the Second represented to the Pope that all France was in Arms. That the Admiral de Coligni Head of the Protestants in that Kingdom had got the chief place in the Young Kings Favour that he had procured a League Offensive and Defensive between France and England That the Admiral sollicited the Flemings to a Rovolt and made at his own charge great Levies in Germany And that his Catholick Majesty was perswaded that the Admiral abus'd the French Kings Weakness and set all manner of Engins at Work to cause Insurrections in the Neighbouring States for no other end than with the greater Facility to attack his That his Holyness ought not to be displeased at the Kings calling back his Fleet for his own particular security besides that it concerned all Christendom as much as himself to oppose the aggrandizing of so Pernicious a Sect.
