into the same place of the riuer This stratagem being f●ustrated they fall to a second but will be seene in neither They suborne eight creatures of their owne with plenty of crownes to set Landa on fire One of them mistaking the night and laying his traines was taken by the watch with an other of his companions a counterfeit Monke and both hanged Being also deceiued in the execution of this Gunpowder plot they fall to a third and send forth a certaine Mountebank resolute to death accompanied with some such fellowes as himselfe to set to sale in the Emperours Campe poysoned rings bridels and spurres so deadly inuenomed that if the Emperour had touched any of them he had surely perished But his Maiestie being fore-warned causeth this Marchant to be watched and apprehended Commandeth him to be examined but finding that he scorned both questions and torments without more a-doe hee sendeth him to the gallowes Hadrian as we told you being choakt with a Fly the Cardinals begin to wrangle about the choise of a successor For two and twentie being the Emperours aduersaries would haue chosen Roland of Siena one of those Cardinals whom a little before Hadrian had sent Legat vnto Frederick and Frederick had banished Germanie But nine others adhearing to the Emperor by the suffrages of the Prefect of the Citie and the people created Octauianus a Romane borne Priest and Cardinall of Saint Clements and stiled him Victor But these rash elections being likely to foster infinite dissensions It was agreed betweene the Electors of both parties that neither of the Elected should be confirmed before it was agreed vpon at all hands who should be the Man and the contention quite silenced But the Rolanders being the maior partie falsifying their oathes proclaimed the election of Roland and new christned him Alexander the third From hence arose a mighty Schisme Victor remaineth at Rome Alexander flieth vnto William King of Sicil and there the twelfth day after his election is confirmed Pope And to preuent that this dissension should not draw with it the finall destruction of the Church of Rome by his legats hee intreateth the Emperour Frederick that by interposition of his authority he would vouchsafe to put end to the Schisme The doubtfull issue of a new Schisme much troubled Frederick wherefore finding that both the Elettos being orderly consecrated he could not lawfully determine the strife without the authority of a Councell after the examples of Constantine Theodosius Iustinian and other Emperors knowing that the summoning thereof appertained vnto him he nominateth the day of the Assembly to be held at Papia and thether he warneth both the Bishops to appeare promising also to be there in person to take cognizance of eithers greeuances After proclamation whereof Alexander goeth to Anagnia whereat the Emperour being angrie for his contempt despatcheth his letters vnto him by Daniel and Herman Bishops of Prage and Verdim citing him by the name of Bishop and not of Pope to appeare at the Councell Alexander reiecteth Caesars Ambassadors most contumeliously and in very arrogant termes telleth them plainly That the Romane Bishop was to bee iudged by no mortall creature They doing no good vpon Alexander retire towards Octauianus him they salute as Pope and accompany to Papia There the Councell being assembled and the cause vpon sufficient witnesse through all circumstances iudicially examined Victor is declared Pope and so acknowledged by all the German Bishops by the commandement of Caesar At which pretended iniury Alexander being mooued he accurseth Fredericke and Victor and forthwith dateth his letters of iustification vnto all Christians Kings and Potentates That what He did was done with equitie and good reason But at his returne into the City finding many new vpstart aduersaries openly opposing against him he went to Tarracine And there going on shipbord purposely there layde for him by William of Sicil hee retyred into France where by the good leaue of Philip assembling a Conuenticle in Claremount in all hast he proclaimeth his curse against the Emperor and the Antipope His Maiesty albeit he foresaw the mischiefes likely to arise vpon this dissension notwithstanding he continueth his siege against Millan vntill enforced by famin and wants the inhabitants voluntarily surrendred the City at discretion This dispatched he sent his Ambassadors to the French King to desire that he would call a Councel at Didion Whether if hee would bring his Pope then would his Maiesty also promise to bee there and with him to bring his Pope also What answer these Ambassadours receiued it is not truely known but so much is recorded to memory that the Earle of Blois gaue the Emperor his faith that the King his master would not faile to be there Whereupon at the prefixed day the Emperor with Victor kept promise and pitched his tents neere Didion Thither came also Henrie the second and William kings of England and Scotland But Alexander could not only not be perswaded to come vnder pretence that the assembly was congregated by the Emperor and not by him but he also so wrought with Philip that he came vnto the place indeed but before the Emperor where washing his hands in the riuer hard by forthwith by the voice of an Herauld he summoned his Maiesty as if herein he had satisfied his oath and so departed Wherewith the Emperor the Kings the other Princes being much agreeued wished Victor to returne to his Popedome and they retired euery man to his own home Victor ariued at Lucca in Hetruria fell sicke and died in whose place succeeded Guido Bishop of Cremona called Paschal the third And vnto him at Goslaria the Emperor and all the Princes and Bishops of Germany did their reuerence Alexander who was yet in France to keep Rome in obedience constituted Iohn the Cardinall his Vicar generall and regranted liberty to the Romanes to chuse their owne Consuls prouided that they were such as were fauorites of his faction Then departeth he from France into Sicil foorthwith returneth to Rome and is willingly receiued of the Romanes and Guido reiected Whereupon the cities of Italie incouraged by the comming of Alexander to hope after liberty contrary to their oathes sworne before vnto the Emperor they reedified Millan but lately razed and subuerted by Caesar Then at the instigation of Alexander they enter into actuall rebellion they inuade the Emperors ministers and fauorits some of whom they expell and some they murder Then vsing his further councell and assistance they proceed to the building of a new City called Alexandria in honor of Alexander and contempt of Frederick culling out of euery City fifteen thousand men for inhabitation vnto whome they deuide the territory and assigne portions whereupon to build their dwellings Vpon intelligence of these rebellious combinations Caesar leuieth an armie and prepareth for Italie where inforcing certaine of the rebels to composition he besiegeth Alexandria but this siege proued nothing honourable for

during the short time of his Papacy As a good schoolemaster hee persisted constant in good will towards Caesar And against the French he assisted him with treasure and conioyned him in league with the Florentines the Siennois the Luquois the Roytelets of Italy the Apostolique sea with Henry of England and Lewes of Hungary But Adrian in the second yeere of his Papacy being departed not without suspition of poyson the fatall practises of the Bishops by so much the more eagernesse outflamed by how much they had gathered materialls to worke vpon during the time of the former respiration For Iulius of Medices otherwise Clement the seuenth after much wrangling being elected Pope before his installation was no man more esteemed of Caesar From the Church of Toledo by his bounty he receiued an annuity of ten thousand duckats He reconciled him so throughly into the fauour of Adrian from whence he was fallen that in all affaires of importance Adrian made him only of his counsell But no sooner Pope no sooner traitor Against his Lord hee complotteth league vpon league discharging his bills of account with acquittances of this nature For Francis the French king being in Italy and after the taking of Millan dispersing his forces throughout Lombardy Clement worketh the dis-union of the Hadrian confederacy and forbiddeth the Florentins the Syennois and the Luccois to pay the money which by the conuention they ought to haue sent vnto Caesar By Albert Pius Prince of Carpi he concluded a Clandestine league with king Francis meane time cunningly treating with the Imperialists by way of sequestration and Indifferency to impledge the territory of Millan into his discretion But the deuise being vtterly disliked and fortune against all imagination so crossing his designements that in a memorable defeature Francis was taken prisoner at Paruie and carried captiue into Spaine then to his perpetuall reproch of leuity and inconstancy to flater with Caesar he parted with an infinit masse of mony for his souldiers arrerages yet during these passages in iealouzy that Charles would turne his thoughts to the conquest of Millan which of all his Italian pretendācies was only left vnconquered he goeth to counsel with Loyesse the Queen mother Henry king of England the Venetians and some other Potentates how to expulse the Imperialists out of Italie and redeeme Francis To set forward the execution whereof he dealeth with Ferdinand Dauila a man of eminent place souldiery in Caesars Campe assaieth to draw him to the party and for a bait offereth him the title of the kingdom of Naples Dauila being of a subtill close disposition accepteth learneth the secrets of the enemies proiects and acquainteth his master therewith Caesar laugheth at the mans periury who being the principall architect of all iniurious preiudiciall proceedings against him had notwithstanding himselfe made his enemy priuy to counsels giuen him very serious cautions in future how to proceede in his affaires and how to prouide for his owne security with an intimation to become carefull to bind the loyalties of his men of warre with greater deuotion to his seruice Wherby finding himselfe ouer-reacht by Dauila he giueth not ouer but trieth another way to the wood And thus it was Francis being set at liberty by Caesar and vnwilling to make good these conuentions wherunto by the treaty of Madril he stood obliged he takes hold of the occasion absolueth him of his oath confederateth anew with the French and some others and proclaimeth the confederacy by the name of the Most holy League Inserting amongst the Articles that Caesar also might be cōprehended therin So that he would first re-deliuer vpon a competent ransome the children of France as yet in hostage for their father restore Millan to Sforza and enter Italie for his Coronation with no greater troops then should seeme requisite to the discretions of the Pope and the Venetians What indifferent Reader weighing the originall of this league the time wherein it was concluded and the occasions wherupon it was broched can make any other construction to his vprightest censure but that his Holinesse had small intention by these iniurious breaches of concluded articles to further the publique peace but rather to administer matter of implacable heart-burnings and assured wars between the Princes For by one Apostaticall Breue first the conditions of the peace are prescribed to so high and mighty an Emperor by his subiect and Vassall Sforza of Milan secondly the oath of the French King duely and solemnly taken is pardoned and frustrated thirdly Caesar is commanded to re-deliuer the children of France as if it were not enough by the releasement of the fathers oath to be once deluded Fourthly He is commanded not to winke at but to perpetuate the tyranny of the Italian Kinglings Fiftly he is commanded to forbeare to come vnto Italy vnlesse he proportioned his troops to the shape of the Papal and Venetian limitations Sixtly He is commanded to giue pardon to Traitors and for conclusion in case of not-performance warre is denounced by sea and by land Amidst which dishonorable limitations what could Caesar doe but in true acknowledgement of the vprightnes of his cause reiect these base conditions with as great courage on the one side as they were insolently propounded by the other reposing more hope in his innocency then in the multitude of Horse or shipping And surely God almighty the vnpartiall Iudge of humane actions so moderated the execution of his diuine iustice that whatsoeuer complots this architect of euill counsell meant to haue throwne downe vpon the head of Caesar the very same befell his own person euen when he thought himselfe to stand vpon so sure a ground as to be an onely Spectator of the ensuing troubles For Caesar beeing awakened at the Report of so famous a Confederacie dispatched into Italy the Duke of Burbon Fronsperg Captaines of admirable reputation for their cariage in the last warres with warrant to defend Naples now by the tenor of the league giuen in prey to warre and dis-vnion These Leaders pretending as if they meant to passe by Florence now growen proud by the continuance of peace their mighty Citizen the Pope and the late league at last bending their course by the mountaines and rocks vpon the sixt day of May they solemnly entred Rome droue Clement into the Bastil of Adrian and vpon want of all necessaries his Bulls his Breues and execrations thicke and threefold breathed out against the Germanes and Spaniards standing him in no stead compelled him to yeeld but with so seruile and base conditions as vpon the like neuer did Souldier to this day giue vp his fort The insolency of the Spaniard and the inhumanity of the Germane I am not able in apt words to display See Guicoiardine and the Histories of those times For besides their horrible pillagings their spoiles their rauishments and their wasts no kinde of scorne was left

Whereupon he flyeth to Armes marshalleth his forces and speedily vanquisheth But by the vnexpected comming in of Roger his sonne his Popeship is taken and his Cardinals made prisoners Iulius the second in seauen yeeres space was the cause of the slaughter of two hundred thousand Christian soules He limited a reward to any man that could kill a Frenchman Marching out of the City accoutred with Pauls sword and other such holy Furniture to fight against the French and the confederate Princes He vnsheathed the blade and cast the Keyes into Tiber saying Sithence Peters keies can no longer stead vs welcome the sword of good S.
