discovery of Cardinal Cremona till that the designs of both parties being desperate on a sudden he proposed him and getting together his Votes he pass'd immediately to the Adoration and created him Pope It is no easie matter to break an obstinate conspiracy for the Election of a person especially if the Party be considerable unless their practises be destroy'd by the Excluders proposing a person of their own adverse Faction which for the most part has been successful as oft as it has been tryed So it happen'd in the Conclave of Clement the 8th the Spanish party for two months together gave their Votes constantly in favour of San Severina nor was their constancy ever shaken or disturb'd till Cardinal Aldobrandino who was a Spaniard was propos'd by the Excluders who promising the Head of that Faction which was Avila to choose any one Pope that he should name without communicating first with his followers they were disoblig'd in that manner they were all ready to run from his Colours But to pacifie them Aldobrandino was glad to come to an absolute rupture with Avila If the Head of the Including Faction offers the Head of the Excluding Party to assist him at any time in the Election of one of the Excludents let him alwayes be suspicious for his design is rather to separate and divide the Squadron of Excluders than to do him any good in good earnest This Cardinal Montalto found to be true in the Conclave of Leo the 11th when Aldobrandino to separate the Excludents who had strictly engag'd themselves with Montalto propos'd to him to choose one of his party but as he knew very well how to open his eyes and discover Aldobrandino's designs so he knew well enough how to shut his ears and evade them Let a Cardinal in the Conclave avoid all occasions of Rupture as much as he can for if once he be declar'd an Enemy immediately the Spirit of revenge enters into his heart which may perhaps be instrumental to the detriment of his Enemy but shall never be of advantage to himself And this also Aldobrandino found true in the Conclave of Leo the 11th for coming to words and a manifest breach with Avila he presently fix'd his thoughts upon a person he had otherwise never remembred which was Cardinal Meaici one he had no kindness for at all but he chose him to be reveng'd of Avila The like Aphorisms may be seen likewise for the Court seeing that in such cases the pens of the most curious are at work to discover their subtilties for the benefit of the Publique however their pains have not met with so great an applause whereas these Aphorisms of Azolino were commended as soon as they were seen and judg'd very proper for the instruction of the Cardinals during the vacancy of the See especially such as have not been in any Conclave before Experience in such things exceeds all manner of Learning Yet to speak freely I am not displeas'd with the opinion of a Friend of mine who being well vers'd in the interests of the Court discourses liberally in company and will oftentimes have his own judgement prevail before any bodies else He affirms that neither Experience nor Learning are considerable in the Conclaves and maintains it with more arguments than this Paper will contain Be it as it will it is not known which meets with more rubs in the Conclave the Experienc'd or the Learned Cardinals They which by study and revolving of History manage the affairs of the New Pope will not stoop to persons of the greatest Experience because by actual practice they have gain'd some air of reputation in the precedent Conclaves In like manner those who have been Experienc'd do pretend to command those who are thought Learned for having read in some Books or heard discourses of some Conclave or other But I will not condemn either Experience or Learning Experience is good in the Conclaves and Learning is better but Prudence is more necessary than both A little Experience is enough for a prudent Cardinal whereas all the Experience in the World is in vain if they know not how to use it with discretion In several Conclaves there have been several inexperienc'd Cardinals I might say ignorant of the mystery of Election of Popes yet they have prosper'd very well and by their prudence prevail'd with those who doubted not to have gain'd them in a short time Experience interrupts that many times which Prudence contrives whereas Prudence conjoyns that which Experience hath broken In this last Conclave several effects of this nature were seen but not so many as in the two former in which the most Experienc'd lost their Chard of Navigation because they had not the judgement to make use of it with discretion FINIS Books Printed for and Sold by John Starkey at the Miter betwixt the Middle-Temple-Gate and Temple-Bar in Fleet-street Folio's THE World Surveyed or the famous Voyages and Travels of Vincent le Blanc of Marseilles into the East and West-Indies Persia Pegu Fez Morocco Guinny and through all Africa and the principal Provinces of Europe Price bound 10 s.

with the dignity of the chief Priesthood Now begins contempts irreverences murmurs and many times seditions to arise the Laity by little and little losing the veneration and opinion they had formerly of the Ecclesiastick Piety and Justice And of this you have a good instance and accompt in the banishment of the Ministers of the Apostolical See out of France in the commotions at Avignon in the audacious liberty of those people that heretofore were obsequious and reverent in the whisperings and murmurs of all the other subjects of the Ecclesiastick State and in Schisms and Separations in all the rest both in Italy and other Nations These are the things the memory of which is a sharper affliction to my mind than my infirmites are to my body Our Divine Master most Holy Father taught us in that command Mitte gladium in vagina that there was nothing more undecent in him that had the Government of our Holy Innocent and meek Mother the Church than Temporal Arms and that she ought not to defended M●re Castrorum From hence it is I am greatly afraid that God Almighty being offended at our manifest diffidence in him and our making use of improper means and contrary to the practice of the famous Popes of former ages will leave us to our selves and suffer us to be reduc'd to one of these streights either to be forc'd by our own necessities or our Enemies power to some disadvantagious agreement or else by a long and excessive expence be reduc'd to extreme misery and distress To give way to time and necessity was alwayes the Doctrine of a very wise Prince Paulus quintus undertook but meerly for the cause of God to proceed against the Venetian with his Spiritual Arms and was firmly resolv'd to have joyn'd his Temporal with them but at last out of his great prudence and compassion and upon consideration of his want of money the incapacity of the people to supply him the danger of over-running Italy with Foreigners and perhaps with some new Heresie or other for fear lest by the loss of the liberty of the Italians he should kindle an unextinguishable fire in all Europe and lest he should create too great animosittes against his own Family he suffer'd himself to be brought to a milder temper and perhaps not without some scruples and remorses of Conscience if the Church of God should by his fault receive any considerable damage and diminution Convert most Holy Father your Courage and Arms against the perils of Christendome and the pride of the Turk who as I hear to my extream sorrow is marching into Transilvania and Hungary to overwhelm those Countries as it were with an inundation against the Turk against the Turk let your magnanimity be oppos'd and with a generous emulation of Pius the second your most renown'd fellow Citizen lay aside all unprofitable controversies with your well deserving Son and let him and the other Princes of Christendome unite in a firm League and your Holiness be the Head and the Author of it What better occasion can there be than this to render your Name and Honour Immortal in all Ages If of late necessity constrain'd the impositions of some light Taxes upon those Religions that are now supprest forc'd you to make other use of the tenths impos'd upon the Clergy for the assistance of the Emperour and of the two hundred thousand Crowns left by the late Cardinal Mazarin to be expended in the War against the Turks tying up your hands as it were from actions of Charity and Alms with how much more glory and merit may you do it now Besides in so great and just an opportunity the application of the assignments to other use will open a large field to the maledictions of the people that the Flock of Christ is forsaken and expos'd to the capacity of that Woolf of the East the Patrimony of Christ destroy'd and all to maintain a private and meerly Temporal quarrel and to feather your own nest in the mean while And since by way of incidence I have spoken of Alms I will not omit representing to your Holiness the great trouble I receive by the relations of several Orders and Parishes in Rome of the great miseries that many poor familyes suffer which I shall not for brevity sake name though I am sure it would break your very heart and inforce you to tears should I give you an honest and sincere narrative of what they endure Oh how oft do I remember what before your happy Exaltation your Holiness us'd to tell me when inflam'd with a most charitable zeal you deplor'd the Exaltations that in the preceeding Popes time were obtain'd by the advancing of twenty thousand Crowns out of the Alms-money as if they would have it be believ●d as your Holiness said then that there was no poor to be found in Rome and for that reason it was lawful to put that into their own purses which for their sustenance was gather'd dayly from the Charity of the Faithful They took likewise out of the Office de●la Componenda as your Holiness very well knows the Pontifical Alms-money against which the Hereticks have writ whole Volumns of Invectives and Satyrs not knowing perhaps that the Componenda is nothing but a kind of wholesome Pennance impos'd by the Popes upon such persons as have receiv'd from them some considerable favour not to be granted by any body else which said sum is afterwards to be dristributed amongst the poor or dispos'd for the nourishment of those that embrace our most Holy Religion And so I remember Pope Urban the eight was wont to say that the Popes Purse ought to be open'd freely and administer'd faithfully I humbly beseech your Holiness to take care that the same thing be observ'd in your Holiness his Papacy This Office della Componenda invites me to say something of the Dataria and other Tribunals your Holiness knowing very well that the most noble and most deserving quality that the people admire in any Prince is his generosity and munificence May your Holiness advert that neither the superfluous zeal nor the forward severity of your Ministers be suffer'd to obscure or eclipse your Glory remembring alwayes that amongst the disadvantages in Elective Principalities it is one of the greatest the leaving so much liberty to the Ministers to raise their own fortunes at the charge of their Prince as Pope Innocent knew how to do very well to one of his own That the good or bad report of either Pope or Prince proceeds from the mo●ths of their Friends or Domesticks was the saying of Urban the eight and all the Court of Rome by reason that as they were ill or well satisfy'd so they spread their Characters about the world either to the prejudice or advantage of their Masters To keep the Cardinals poor abject and contemptible the Prelats idle without esteem or reward the Nobility neglected the Courtiers without hopes to see any recompence of their labours and
