trechery For conclusion let me bespeak intreat you Reverend Fathers Brethren in the words of a divine Apostle Act. 20. 28. Take heed to your selves and to all the flock wherof the holy Ghost hath made you Bishops to feed the Church of God which he hath purchased with his own bloud 1 Pet. 5. 2. Feed the flock of God which dependeth on you caring for it not by constraint but willingly not for filthie lucre but of a ready mind Not as if ye were Lords over Gods heritage but that you may be ensamples to the flocke And when the Chiefe Shepheard shall appear you shall receive an incorruptible Crowne of glory Soli Deo gloria Pag 4 lin 17. for Soe read Loe.

W. Boswell there is annexed at the end by the same judicious Author of the Historie and wanting in that Copy of Geneva which before I followed a particular and memorable Information touching some essentiall circumstances in the Accommodation of that great Difference Which because it is the life of the whole History and serves much to cleare the Venetian cause from the forgeries of the Court of Rome which was the Authors maine intention I have thought meet here to communicate it with the Reader done out of Italian into English with fidelity as followeth BEing a thing which hath never happened that a Breve of Censures so solemnly published by the Pope and resisted with so great constancy should be abolished without any writing or act done in Rome it hath bred in many persons a curiosity to know the truth of all passages in this businesse and hath given matter to those who in all such contestations would seeme to have the victory and are wont to countenance their Designes with forged writings to use also this same artifice upon this present occasion And therefore they have in this case also counterfaited 4 writings to wit 1. A Breve unto the Card. of Ioyeuse which gives him faculty to take away the Censures 2. An Instrument of Absolution by the said Cardinall dated 21 April 3. An Instrument of the delivery of the Prisoners and 4. A Decree of the Senate for the restitution of the Religious and for releasing the sequestration of the revenewes of such Ecclesiasticks as were gone out of the State Which writings they have not dared to divulge in formall Copies but onely dispersed underhand some abridgments of them with intention it may be that after some time when they may not be so easily detected and confuted as at this present they may be produced and pretended to be true yea and so to be beleeved of necessity as this Policie hath often well succeeded to These men who have many times given colour to many such false writings prejudiciall to divers Princes Now purposing to speake particularly of all those foure false writings we will begin with the first which containes a forged Breve unto the Card. of Ioyeuse giving him power to take away the Censures Whether the Pope hath indeed dispatched such a Breve unto the said Card. prescribing him a form of Absolving from the Excommunication Protestation Reservation and other clauses the summaries whereof are scattered abroad I can neither affirme nor deny Onely I will say that many times at Rome they publish such Breves though they that have interest never saw them which yet are extant and yet the memory doth remaine in the Histories that all the Businesse had passed quite contrary to that which in such Breves is reported Gregory 2. having commantled Alphonsus King of Spaine that leaving the office of the Mozarabes he receive that of Rome Innocentius 3. writeth lib 9. epist 2. that it was accordingly received yet all the Historians of Spaine do agree that the King would never endure any alteration in this office nor admit the Romane In Cap. 1. de postul Praelatorum Innocent 3. in the yeare 1199. saith that the Interdict against France because the K. Philip Augustus had put away his wife Isemberg was observed in that Kingdome Notwithstanding all the French Historians with one voice accord that it was not observed and that the King punished all such of his Clergy as dared to execute the desires or to approve the pretensions of the Pope I will further add that many times when such Bulls have beene published under the name of the Popes they themselves have beene constrained afterwards to deny them or confesse them to have beene extorted Adrian the 2. anno 870. sent a severe Monitorie to Charles the Bald K. of France commanding him to forbeare to seize upon the Kingdome of Lotharius his deceased Nephew and to the same effect writing his Letters to the Prelates and Nobilitie of the Realme The King neverthelesse prosecuting his purposes answered the Pope with freedome and bitternesse Wherefore his Holinesse in his reply to the King first amply commends the Royall vertues wherewith he heard that he was adorned then testifies his great good will towards him and concludes that if hee had formerly received from him any Letters of another tenor or of a more hard or sharp or rough stile hee prayes him to beleeve that he was surprised and that they were stollen from him unawares or when he was sick or happely counterfaited The Lawyers doe all consent that no man can prove himselfe to have Iurisdiction over another by showing a Citation or Decree or Sentence unlesse he can show that the Citation was intimated and the Decree obeyed and the sentence put in execution Be it that the Pope did dispatch this Breve in question unto the Cardinall of Ioyeuse which I neither beleeve nor deny yet seeing it was here never seene either by the Prince or by any publike Minister nor even by any private person of this State so far as that is knowne what ever it contain that cannot bee any prejudice to the Reasons and Rights of this Republique And if any will pretend to found or inferre ought upon this Breve it belongs to him to make proofe that it was received or else presented or finally at least seene or known or brought to some mans notice nothing of which is true in this whereof we speake And if in time to come any Breve be fained or produced of what tenor soever it ought not to prevaile against the faith and testimony of true histories which will beare witnesse to Posterity that no Breve at all passed in this action Wherefore it remaines onely to be considered what the Cardinall hath done or executed Concerning which there is 2 dispersed a certaine Instrument of one
