which though it be a year of repentance yet it is also a year of Jubilee and of spiritual joy and comfort Now because the love of Christ for whom we are Ambassadours to all Nations constraineth us and the zeal which we have for your Souls doth consume our spirit we exhort and beseech you all by the blood which Jesus Christ hath spilt and by his coming in the last day of Judgment especially at this time of Jubilee That every one be converted from the evil of his way and turn unto the Lord with a pure heart and good conscience and faith unfeigned because the Lord is gracious and merciful full of compassion and long-suffering Wherefore according to the duty of our Pastoral Office we do call and chearfully invite you Our dear Children in Christ namely the Emperor the Kings and Catholick Princes with all the faithful of Christ wheresoever dispersed in the most remote parts of the World that they would be present at this joyful solemnity of the Jubilee though we cannot but at the same time be miserably afflicted with consideration of the great numbers of people who have separated themselves from the union and Communion of the Catholick and Apostolical Church within the last Age of one hundred years past did with one mind and heart celebrate this holy year of Jubilee for the eternal salvation of whose souls we would gladly and willingly spill our blood and give our lives Wherefore you who are obedient Children and Catholick and beloved of God and us Venite Ascendite ad locum quem elegit Dominus Come unto this spiritual Jerusalem and to this holy Mount of Sion not according to the letter but Allegorically and by spiritual understanding because that from this place the holy light of Evangelical truth hath from the first beginning of the Primitive Church been diffused through all Nations This is that happy City whose faith the Apostle praises and commends in these words I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole World This is the City where the Chief of the Apostles Peter and Paul did vent their Doctrine with the effusion of their blood that Rome being the sacred Seat of St. Peter might become the capital City of the World the Mother of all the Faithful and the Majesty of all the other Churches Here is the Rock of Faith placed and from hence springs the fountain of the Priestly unity from hence are derived the clear streams of the purest Doctrine here are found the Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven with full power to bind and loose and lastly here is conserved that Treasure of Indulgences which shall never fail of which the Roman High Priest is the principal keeper and Dispenser And though he doth dispense some part hereof every year as occasion doth require yet more especially in this Holy year of Jubilee a greater affluence thereof is dispersed when according to the solemnity of the most antient Churches of Rome when the gates are opened by the pious and liberal hands that so entering into the presence of God with joy and having cast off from their shoulders the yoke of sin and the tyranny of the Enemy you may be reconciled unto God by means of the Sacrament and therefore come you as true Children Heirs of Heaven and Possessours of Paradise Given at Rome near St. Peters in the year of our Lord's Incarnation 1599. June 18. in the 8th year of our Pontificate The Copy of this Letter being sent to all Christian Princes in communion with the Court of Rome the Pope busily employed himself in making preparations and provisions for entertainment of Pilgrims who in the following year of Jubilee crouded in those numbers to gain the Indulgences and Pardons as of Men and Women the account made amounted unto three Millions of Persons But the Pope was not so busily employed in his preparations for the Jubilee but that he attended to the decision of the Controversie of the Marquisat of Saluces which as we have said was at the late Treaty at Vervins put into his hands and power to be concluded and determined in the space of one year In order unto which the President Bruslard was dispatched to Rome in behalf of the French King and the Count d' Archonas of the Duke of Savoy and both met there about the beginning of this year 1599. the Cause being pleaded before the Pope both Parties pressed the Arguments so home in favour of the right of their respective matters that the Pope esteeming the Point difficult to be decided required some longer time before he would undertake to pass his judgment and in the interim proposed that the Marquisat should remain in his hands as a Depositary and an indifferent person between both Parties And though neither the King nor the Duke were well pleased with these delatory proceedings yet the King was contented to allow two Months for such determination but the Duke who had been possessed by the suggestions of his Minister at Rome that the Pope required to be the Depositary with design to bestow the Marquisat on one of his Nephews conceived such a jealousie of the Pope's intentions that he began to decline the Umpirage which when the Pope understood he with great indignation refused to interpose farther resolving neither to meddle with the Arbitration nor the Deposite The King who knew well in what manner to do right unto himself by his Sword was not much concerned for the rejection which the Pope had made of the Arbitration and the Duke being contented to have his Cause pass by other formalities than that of the Consistory judged his right more secure and more easily convincing by a personal Treaty with the King himself which matter being now taken out of the hand of the Pope we leave to the temporal determination of these Princes and proceed to other matters more agreeable to this History Henry IV. of France being in good favour and correspondence with Clement VIII treated with him about obtaining a Divorce or rather a dissolution of marriage between him and Margaret Dutchess of Valois to which this Pope might perhaps be more inclinable and easie on some reflections he made on the ill consequences which the delays of the like Divorce to Henry VIII of England produced to the Papal Power The Cardinal d' Ossac with the President Monsieur de Silery having Orders to prosecute this matter in the Court of Rome represented to the Pope the state of the marriage with Queen Margaret and that though the King their Master had ever since his conversion to the Catholick Religion entertained reverend and obedient thoughts towards the Papal Sea and might on score of being the eldest Son of the Church expected more than ordinary favours yet on consideration of the Nullity of this Marriage he desired nothing more than common justice The Pope who was very desirous to favour and

by common Voice that the intention of the Council in all and every of their Canons was to maintain the Papal Dignity in its antient Power and Authority without any abatement or diminution thereof And finally an Act was read and published whereby it was declared That the place or rank which any Ambassadour or Representative had holden or possessed in that Council should give no Title or ground of claim for the like degree or place for the future the Council not pretending to determine any thing in prejudice of the rights and priviledges of Kings Princes or States Lastly at the breaking up of the Council Excommunications and Anathemas were read against all Hereticks in general mentioning Luther Zuinglius or others in particular And then the period was closed with loud acclamations in praise of the Pope the Emperor the Kings the Legats and all the Fathers which was performed in a different manner to the practice of other Councils which ended with acclamations and blessings pronounced with the confused noise or murmurings of the whole Assembly but at Trent it was performed by way of Responses or Antiphonas in which the Cardinal of Lorain pronounced the first Sentence and was again answered by all the Prelats which being the part of a Deacon or Chanter seemed an Office too mean to be personated by his Eminence and not onely gave subject of railery to the World but subjected him to a thousand Censures at his return home where it was charged upon him that in the Acclamations or Antiphonas then made there was no mention of the King of France And in the last place it was ordained That all the Prelats should sign the Decrees before their departure upon pain of Excommunication for execution whereof a form of Congregation being appointed the Hands or subscriptions consisted of four Legats two Cardinals three Patriarchs twenty five Arch-Bishops two hundred sixty eight Bishops seven Abbots thirty nine Procurators or Substitutes in behalf of such as were absent and seven Generals of the Religious Orders the subscriptions of the Ambassadours were not required to avoid the late Contestations and Disputes about place And yet notwithstanding this number of Bishops there was not one of Germany present in the last Convocation which was far the most numerous and solemn of any for Hungary or Poland there were very few Bishops present there appeared not one for Sweden Denmark England or the Low-Countries The Bishops of France which came onely towards the latter end being joyned with the Bishops of Spain could not in all make above the number of forty so that of the two hundred and odd Bishops of which this Council was composed there was at least one hundred and fifty of them Italians who were Creatures and Pensioners of the Pope For which reason this Assembly was justly termed the Council of the Pope and his Italians The Council being in this manner broken up every one returned to his home and Country and all things being concluded to the satisfaction of the Pope caused great joy in the Court of Rome where the Legats and the other Favourers thereof were received and welcomed with applause and commendations and the Pope to gratifie his Friends who had taken such pains and served so well in this important Affair promoted nineteen of them to the Dignity of Cardinals and amongst the rest the Arch-Bishop of Taranto was in a singular manner remembred and gratified Nor had the Pope so much taken up his thoughts with the Council but that being transported with a spirit of munificence and Building he could attend to raise and continue his Name by mighty and Excellent Structures and figuring to himself a model of the antient Rome as if he intended to have restored it to its antique glory he commanded the antient Monuments to be conserved the Streets restored and at his great expence the Aqueducts which brought the Water from distant places to the City to be again repaired It was this Pope who re-built the Baths of Diocletian upon Mount Quirinus converting them into a Church and to a Monastery which he personally consecrated He fortified the Castle of St. Angelo and repaired the ruins of the Castle of Civita Vecchia and made many other Structures for convenience and Ornament of the City Whilest he was intent upon these Affairs a certain number of Villains designed to have murthered him and to have perpetrated this wickedness at the time when he was busied in reading a Paper which they were to consign into his hand the Person who was to deliver him the Writing was one Acolti and the Contents or substance thereof was a persuasion to resign up his Papal Authority into the hands of such a Person whom they should describe to him for they pretended to have received a Revelation and seen a Vision that the Successour to this Pope should be of an Angelical Spirit elected by the common consent of all Christendom that he should become the Universal Monarch of all the World reform the Manners of Mankind teach them to live up to the perfection of humane Life and in short convert all People and Nations to the Christian Faith Acolti having delivered his Paper and being about to strike the fatal blow his heart failed him upon which one of the Assassinates discovering the Conspiracy they were all seized and justly executed with such torments as the blackness of the Crime deserved Not long after this being on the 10th of December 1565. the Pope died having governed five years eleven months and a half he had during his time created forty five Cardinals some out of favour to Princes and others in reward of their own worth and merit and had he lived his intention was to have made up his number a full hundred so that they might have been called Centum Patres But he died in the 77th year of his age and his body was buried in the Baths of Diocletian lately converted into a Church by him and called Sancta Maria Angelorum And the Sea was vacant twenty nine days PIVS V. PIVS the Fourth being dead and his funeral Rites after the accustomed manner being performed the Cardinals entered the Conclave to the number of fifty two and by common consent with the concurrence of Cardinal Borromeus afterwards canonized for a Saint and of Cardinal Farnese the two leading Men at that time elected Anthony Ghisler to the Succession in the Papal Chair This Anthony Ghisler so called by Papyrius Massonius but by Cicarella named Michael was born of mean and ordinary Parents at a Town called Boschi not far from Alexandria della paglia which lies between Montferrat and the State of Milan he was entered into the Order of Jacobin Friers at the age of fourteen years and then changed his name to Michael he was ordained Priest at Genua and proved a most strenuous Preacher and Master of a most powerful and moving Eloquence he was afterwards constituted Prior of his Convent of Vigevani and Commissary
