entred into any man's head to counterfeit them in hopes of gain The series of the Popes may be very well compleated out of Silver and Copper Not indeed ever since St. Peter but only from about 250 years ago that is from Martin the Fifth's time about the year of our Lord 1430. For from that time till Alexander the Eighth we have Medals of every Pope either Cast or Stamp'd to the number of between Five or Six hundred which is easily proved by Father Moulinet's Book who had caused all he could meet with to be engraved there with a brief explanation of each of them It is not without reason he maintains That before the time by me assigned there is no Medal to be found coined during their Pontificat but are only restored for it is certain that the Dies or Stamps of Martin the Fifth's Medals and others down to Julius the Second were made in the Pontificat of Alexander the Seventh by the care of the Abbot Bizot supported by the favour of Cardinal Francis Barbarini who would have caused a far greater number to have been restored if the Pope's Death had not spoiled the design he had laid to have had the rest engraved whose Heads he hoped to have got from their Statues Tombs Seals and other Monuments of the Vatican In lieu whereof this Series at present can only be made out from the Leaden Seals of their Bulls where the Name of the Pope is only to be had and not their Representations it being then the Custom to give you but St. Peter's and St. Paul's Sixtus the Fourth is the first that fets his Bust upon his Money which he caused to be stamped with this Inscription Vtilitati publicae in Memory of his beginning to Pave the Streets of Rome With this help a compleat Succession of the Eighth Age may be begun As for the Eugenius IV. of Gold coined during the Council of Florence it is only a piece of Money in the King's Cabinet Notwithstanding what I have said it must be confess'd the design of restoring the Medals of all the Popes since St. Peter has been already thought upon and may be performed by some Body though only with Cast Medals for I my self have several of all Ages for the most part with two or three Reverses as some with two large Keys in Pale and these Words Claves Regni Coelorum Others with the Bust of St. Peter and two small Keys in Saltire with the same Legend Others again with a Veronica or other particular Reverses It will not be amiss to warn you in this place that you confound not with the true Medals of the Popes certain Pieces which the Enemies of the Holy See have coined either to insult or render it odious Such is that of Julius the Third with this Inscription instead of a Reverse Gens Regnum quod non servierit tibi peribit Such that of Paul the Third ΦΕΡΝΗ ΖΗΝΟϹ ΕΥΡΑΙΝΕΙ which must never be ranked amongst Genuine Medals Lastly such are certain ridiculous Medals cast I believe either in Germany Holland or at Geneva some of which represent the Head of a Pope joyned with that of a Devil and on the Reverse a Cardinal 's with a Fool 's The Legend is as impertinent as the Type on one side Johannes Calvinus Haeresiarcha pessimus on the other Stulti aliquando sapite I desire you to tell me what Gust or Learning there is in this There is yet another sort as foolish as this which gives you the head of a Pope joyned to that of an Emperor and on the Reverse that of a Cardinal with a Bishop's Theodosius Imperator Celestinus Pontifex the Reverse is so defaced that no more than these words are legible Episcopus Anno CCCCXXIII Who can guess what is meant by these pleasant conjunctions I should not have designed to mention them if it were not that these simple pieces fall easily into the hands of beginners who torment themselves to no purpose in seeking out their meaning as if we could attribute good sense to the Fantastick Dreams of some ill-contrived heads when they never had any The Series of the Popes may be augmented with all the Ecclesiastical Court as Cardinals Bishops and other distinguished Church-men whose Medals may be found After the set of Popes may be made a very compleat one of the Emperors of the West from Charlemagne provided you admit into it some Monies Oct. Strada has given us a Model having brought his work from Julius Caesar down to the Emperor Matthias who Reigned at the finishing of his Book But that Author must not be much relied upon since the Medals he gives us are almost all false that is either invented by himself to compleat his Series or taken from those which Maximilian made to augment the Idea of the House of Austria's Grandeur Therefore to speak strictly one cannot begin sooner than at Frederick the Third in 1463. who Coined a Medal upon his Entrance into Rome Since which time we can hardly collect Thirty unless those of the Kings of Spain are taken in which set begins but at Philip the First King of Spain and Arch-Duke of Austria Father of Charles the Fifth As the Kingdom is the most Noble and Ancient so the Series of the Kings of France is the most numerous and considerable of all the Modern It 's true for the two first Families one must be contented with Monies Of which M. Bouteroüe has composed a very curious Book in which he has caused a very large quantity of them to be Engraved but from the third we begin to find not only pieces of Money but also some Medals Not to insist too much upon that of Charlemagne with this Inscription Renovatio Regni Franciae which very probably belonged to a later Charles on a piece of Lead which served instead of a Seal M. Bizot affirms none were Coin'd with the Effigies of the Prince before Charles the VIIth's time And the first on which we see any Bust is that which was Coined by the City of Lyons for Charles the VIIIth and Anne of Brittany But the true glory of the Nation is That she can prove by Coins an uninterrupted Succession of her Monarchs ever since Clodoveus for 1200 years which no Kingdom in the World besides can do M. Harlay at this time first President has made a curious Collection of them and he has been pleased to enrich his Majesty's Cabinet He making it his business to Sacrifice all that he hath to the Service and Glory of his August Monarch It is all that can be hoped for in this sort of curiosity for it would be lost labour to pretend to collect all that are Engraved in the le France Metalique they being all made at Will till Charlemagne after whose time also a great many are the Invention of Jaques de Bie and his Associate Du Val. There is now a design on Foot which may yet have a
