illustrious_a family_n of_o that_o state_n namely_o the_o colonnesi_n and_o orsini_n have_v accustom_v themselves_o for_o these_o three_o age_n to_o lead_v body_n of_o arm_a man_n into_o the_o

they_o be_v just_a and_o without_o examine_v aught_o else_o than_o the_o more_o or_o less_o pension_n that_o be_v offer_v they_o they_o resolve_v to_o gain_v they_o to_o their_o side_n and_o begin_v with_o that_o of_o the_o colonnesi_n who_o stand_v not_o upon_o much_o entreaty_n to_o enter_v into_o treaty_n with_o they_o for_o two_o reason_n the_o first_o be_v that_o be_v wed_v to_o the_o

themselves_o at_o the_o expense_n of_o other_o the_o second_o reason_n be_v that_o the_o house_n of_o the_o colonna_n have_v ever_o be_v the_o mark_n of_o the_o vengeance_n of_o the_o pope_n since_o siccara_n one_o of_o its_o most_o signalise_v captain_n have_v surprise_v boniface_n the_o eight_o in_o agnania_n this_o persecution_n have_v make_v it_o close_o with_o the_o party_n of_o the_o gibellin_n and_o treat_v as_o enemy_n all_o those_o that_o have_v declare_v themselves_o for_o the_o sovereign_a pontiff_n thus_o it_o see_v itself_o oblige_v to_o act_v against_o the_o exile_n of_o

irreconcilable_a enemy_n of_o that_o of_o the_o colonna_n it_o be_v sufficient_a for_o it_o to_o see_v the_o colonnesi_n engage_v in_o one_o party_n to_o go_v offer_v immediate_o their_o service_n to_o the_o contrary_a side_n yet_o they_o make_v a_o shift_n to_o bring_v virginio_n the_o head_n of_o the_o family_n to_o a_o negotiotian_n which_o he_o do_v not_o get_v out_o of_o as_o free_a as_o
