these Wars against the Turk and Barberossa to secure Italy and the Pope and that he must of necessity contribute to it The Pope will answer That he has no Money and will manifestly prove his Poverty to him Then the Emperor without disbursing any thing will demand the Duke of Ferrara 's of him which he knows he may command at a word and this is the Mystery of the Matter Yet 't is not certain whether things will be manag'd thus or no. LETTER XV. My Lord YOu ask whether the Lord Pietro Ludovico is the Pope's Legitimate Son or Bastard be assur'd the Pope was never married which is as much as to say that the aforesaid Gentleman is certainly a Bastard The Pope had a very beautiful Sister There is to be seen to this day at the Palace in that Apartment where the Summists reside built by Pope Alexander an Image of our Lady which 't is said was drawn after that Gentlewoman She was married to a Gentleman Cousin to the Lord Rance who being in the War in the Expedition of Naples the said Pope Alexander *** Now the Lord Rance having certain knowledg of the thing gave notice of it to his Cousin Telling him that be ought not to suffer such a wrong done to their Family by a Spanish Pope and that if he would endure it he himself would not In short her Husband kill'd her for which Fact the present Pope griev'd And to asswage his Sorrow Alexander made him a Cardinal being yet but very young and bestow'd several other Marks of his favour upon him At that time the Pope kept a Roman Lady della Casa Ruffina and by her had a Daughter who was married to the Lord Bauge Count of Sancta Fiore who died in this Town since I came hither By her he has had one of the two little Cardinals who is called the Cardinal of Sancta Fiore The Pope likewise had a Son who is the said Pietro Ludovico concerning whom you inquire who has married the Daughter of the Count de Cervelle on whom he has got a whole Houseful of Children and among others the little Cardinalicule Farnese who was made Vice-chancellour by the death of the late Cardinal de Medicis By what is said you may judge why the Pope did not very well love the Lord Rance and vice versâ on the other side the Lord Rance put no great confidence in him Whence arises a great quarrel between my Lord John-Paul de Cere Son to the said Lord Rance and the abovenamed Petro Ludivico for he is resolved to revenge the death of his Aunt But he is quit of it on the part of the said Lord Rance for he di'd the Eleventh day of this Month going a Hunting in which he extremely delighted old as he was The occasion was this He had got some Turkish Horses from the Fairs of Racana and as he was hunting on one of them that was very tender-mouth'd it fell tumbl'd over him and bruis'd him with the Saddle-bow so severely that he did not live above half an hour after the fall This was a great loss to the French for the King in him has lost a good Servant for his Affairs in Italy 'T is rightly said that the Lord John-Paul his Son will be no less hereafter But it will be a long time e're he gets such Experience in feats of Arms or so great a Reputation among the Commanders and Soldiers as the late brave man had I wish with all my heart that my Lord d'Estissac by his death had the County of Pontoise For 't is said it brings a good Revenue To assist at the Funeral and to comfort the Marchioness his Wife my Lord Cardinal has sent to Ceres near Twenty miles from this Town my Lord de Rambouillet and the Abbot of St. Nicaise who was a near Kinsman to the deceased I believe you have seen him at Court he is a little man all life who was call'd the Archdeacon of the Ursins Besides he has sent some others of his Prothonotaries which likewise my Lord of Mascon has done LETTER XVI My Lord I Defer to my next to give you more at large the News concerning the Emperor for his Design is not yet perfectly discovered He is still at Naples but is expected here by the end of this Month. Great preparations are made for his coming and abundance of Triumphal Arches His four Harbingers have been a good while here in Town two of them Spaniards one Burgundian and the fourth a Flemming 'T is great pity to see the Ruins of the Churches Palaces and Houses which the Pope has caused to be demolished and pulled down to make and level him a way For the Charges of his Reception he has laid a Tax on the College of Cardinals on those who have Places at Court and the Artificers of the Town as much as the very Aquarols The Town is already full of Foreigners On the Fifth of this Month the Cardinal of Trent Tridentinus arrived being sent here by the Emperor His Train is very numerous and more sumptuous than the Pope's He had with him above a hundred Germans all drest alike their Gowns were Red with a Yellow Galloon and on their right Sleeve was embroydered a Wheat-sheave ti'd close and round it was written VNITAS I hear he is much for Peace and reconciling all the Christian Princes He eagerly desires a General Council whatever is done in other matters I was present when he said to my Lord Cardinal du Bellay His Holiness the Cardinals Bishops and Prelates of the Church are against a Council and will by no means hear any thing of it though they are pressed by Secular Princes on that Subject but I see the Time at hand when the Prelates of the Church shall be reduced to demand a Council and the Laity will not hearken to it This will be when the Latter have taken from the Church all the Wealth and Patrimony which they had given while Ecclesiastics by the means of frequent Councils maintained Peace and Vnity among the Laity Andrew Doria came to this Town on the Third of this Month in no very good Equipage No manner of particular respect was shewn him at his Arrival save only that the Lord Pietro Ludovico conducted him as far as the Palace of the Cardinal Camerlingo who is a Genoese of the House of Spinola The next day he saluted the Pope and the day after went away for Genoa on the Emperor's behalf to inform himself underhand concerning the Dispositions of the French about the War We have had here a positive Account of the Old Queen of England's Death and they add That the Princess her Daughter lies very ill However The Bull that was to be issued out against the King of England to excommunicate him and to interdict and proscribe his Kindom did not pass at the Consistory because of the Articles De commeatibus externorian commerciis mutuis Of the Passages of Foreigners and Mutual Intercourses
not to sow 'em altogether so early as they do on this side for it is not warm Weather so soon with you as here They may very well sow your Sallads twice a year that is to say in Lent and in November and they may sow the white Cardes or Thistles in August and September the Melons Pompions and the others in March fencing them for some days with Mats and a thin Layer of Horse-dung not altogether rotten when they fear it will freeze Many other Grains besides are sold here as Alexandria Gilliflowers Matronal-Violets and Shrubs with which they refresh their Chambers in the Summer call'd Belvedere and other Physical Herbs But this would be more for my Lady d'Estissac's turn If you please to have of all sorts I will send them you without fail But I am forc'd to have recourse again to your Alms for the Thirty Crowns which you order'd to be paid me here are almost gone yet I have converted none of them to any ill use nor for eating for I Eat and Drink at my Lord Cardinal du Bellay's or at my Lord of Masc●n's But a great deal of Money goes away in these silly Postage of Letters Chamber-rent and wearing Apparel tho I am as frugal as I can be If you will be pleased to send me a Bill of Exchange I hope I shall make use of it wholly to your Service and not remain ungrateful I see in this City a thousand pretty cheap things which are brought from Cyprus Candia and Constantinople If you think fit I will send what I think fittest of them to you and my Lady d'Estissac The Carriage from hence to Lyons will cost nothing Thanks be to God I have made an end of my business and it has cost me no more than the taking out of the Bulls his Holiness having of his own good Nature given me the Composition And I believe you will find the Proceedings right enough and that I have obtain'd nothing by them but what is just and lawful But I have been oblig'd to advise very much with able Counsel that every thing might be according to due form and I dare modestly tell you that I have in a manner hardly made use of my Lord Cardinal du Bellay or my Lord Embassador tho out of their kindness they not only offer'd me their own good Word and Favour but absolutely to make use of the King's Name LETTER XIII My Lord I Have not as yet presented your first Letters to the Bishop of Saintes for he is not yet return'd from Naples whither he went as I writ to you before He is expected here within these three days Then I will give him your second and intreat an Answer of it I understand that neither he nor the Cardinals Salviati and Rodolph nor Phillip Stozzi with his Money have done any thing with the Emperor in their Affair tho they were willing to pay him a Million of Gold upon the Nail in the Name of all the Foreigners and Exiles of Florence also to finish la Rocca the Fortress begun at Florence to maintain a sufficient Garison in it for ever in the Name of the Emperor and to pay him yearly an Hundred thousand Ducates provided and upon Condition he restor'd them to their former Goods Lands and Liberty On the contrary the Duke of Florence was most honourably receiv'd by him at his arrival the Emperor went out before him and Post manus oscula he order'd him to be attended to the Castle of Capua in the same Town where his Natural Daughter has an Apartment she is affianc'd to the said Duke of Florence by the Prince of Salerne Viceroy of Naples the Marquiss de Vast the Duke D'Alva and other Principal Lords of his Court He held discourse with her as long as he staid Kiss'd her and Supp'd with her afterwards the above-mention'd Cardinals the Bishop of Xaintes and Strozzi never left solliciting The Emperor has put them off for a final Resolution to his coming to that Town to the Rocca which is a place of prodigious Strength that the Duke has built at Florence Over the Portico he has caus'd an Eagle to be painted with Wings as large as the Sails of the Wind-mills of Mirebalais thereby declaring and insinuating that he holds of no body but the Emperor And in fine he has so cunningly carried on his Tyranny that the Florentines have declar'd before the Emperor nomine Communitatis in the Name of the Commonalty that they will have no other Lord but him 'T is certain that he has severely punish'd the Foreigners and Exiles A Pasquil has been lately set up wherein 't is said To Strozzi Pugna pro patriâ Fight for thy Country To Alezander Duke of Florence Datum serva What 's given thee keep To the Emperor Quae nocitura tenes quamvis fint chara relinque Quit what will hurt thee tho 't is ne'r so dear To the King Quod potes id tenta Dare what thou canst To the Cardinals Salviati and Rodolph Hos brevitas sensus fecit conjungere bines Pure want of Sense unites these Blocks As petty Tradesmen joyn their Stocks LETTER XIV My Lord I Writ to you that the Duke of Ferrara is return'd from Naples and retir'd to Ferrara Her Highness the Lady Renee is brought to Bed of a Daughter she had another fine Daughter before between Six and Seven years of Age and a little Son of Three years old He could not agree with the Pope because he demanded an excessive Sum of Money for the Investiture of his Lands Notwithstanding he had abated fifty thousand Crowns for the love of the said Lady and this by the Solicitations of my Lords the Cardinals du Bellay and Mascon still to increase the Conjugal Affection of the said Duke towards her This was the occasion of Lyon Jamet's coming to this Town and they only differ'd for Fifteen thousand Crowns but they could not agree because the Pope would have him acknowledg that he held and possess'd all his Lands intirely in see of the Apostolical See which the other would not For he would acknowledg no more than his deceas'd Father had acknowledg'd and what the Emperor had adjudg'd at Bolonia by a Decree in the time of the deceas'd Pope Clement Thus he departed re infectâ without doing any thing and went to the Emperor who promis'd him at his coming that he would easily make the Pope consent and come to the Point contain'd in his said Decree and that he should go home leaving an Embassador with him to sollicite the Affair when he came on this side and that he should not pay the Sum already agreed upon before he heard further from him The Craft lies here that the Emperor wants Money and seeks it on all hands and Taxes all the world he can and borrows it from all Parts When he comes hither he will demand some of the Pope 't is a plain case For he will represent to him That he has made all
