he_o have_v raise_v in_o which_o the_o income_n be_v so_o vast_o disproportion_v to_o the_o expense_n that_o the_o most_o pry_a man_n do_v not_o know_v what_o be_v become_v of_o it_o the_o war_n

on_o the_o clergy_n of_o italy_n amount_v to_o more_o than_o he_o have_v lay_v out_o upon_o it_o it_o be_v certain_a it_o have_v not_o cost_v he_o very_o much_o he_o retrench_v all_o expense_n to_o so_o great_a a_o degree_n that_o even_o the_o public_a charity_n be_v lessen_v for_o in_o lent_n there_o be_v a_o weekly_a charity_n of_o a_o julio_n or_o a_o six_o penny_n to_o all_o the_o poor_a that_o come_v and_o ask_v it_o and_o the_o poor_a common_o bring_v their_o child_n with_o they_o so_o that_o they_o get_v as_o many_o julio_n as_o they_o bring_v child_n but_o the_o pope_n limit_v this_o that_o no_o charity_n shall_v be_v give_v to_o any_o under_o such_o a_o age_n as_o i_o remember_v it_o be_v below_o ten_o year_n old_a the_o administration_n of_o the_o revenue_n be_v indeed_o the_o only_a thing_n that_o he_o understand_v and_o in_o which_o he_o employ_v all_o his_o thought_n and_o it_o be_v believe_v that_o the_o true_a secret_n of_o the_o great_a number_n of_o the_o cardinal_n in_o the_o last_o promotion_n be_v the_o advantage_n that_o he_o make_v by_o the_o sale_n of_o the_o office_n which_o they_o hold_v and_o that_o fall_v to_o the_o pope_n upon_o their_o advancement_n out_o of_o which_o it_o be_v think_v that_o he_o gain_v above_o a_o million_o and_o upon_o this_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o what_o i_o have_v learn_v concern_v the_o aversion_n that_o two_o of_o the_o cardinal_n taia_n and_o ricci_n express_v to_o the_o purple_a in_o the_o promotion_n that_o be_v make_v five_o year_n ago_o this_o be_v magnify_v in_o several_a book_n that_o be_v print_v out_o of_o italy_n as_o somewhat_o that_o seem_v to_o approach_v to_o the_o best_a age_n of_o the_o primitive_a time_n when_o man_n refuse_v to_o accept_v of_o so_o great_a a_o dignity_n that_o bring_v they_o within_o a_o step_n of_o the_o supreme_a elevation_n but_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o matter_n be_v they_o be_v both_o man_n of_o fourscore_o and_o not_o like_a to_o live_v long_o as_o they_o both_o die_v within_o a_o year_n of_o their_o preferment_n they_o have_v very_o good_a employment_n which_o they_o have_v buy_v and_o which_o by_o their_o accept_n the_o purple_a be_v to_o fall_v into_o the_o pope_n hand_n beside_o that_o the_o new_a dignity_n be_v not_o to_o be_v enter_v upon_o without_o a_o great_a expense_n so_o all_o this_o be_v consider_v the_o virtue_n of_o refuse_v so_o chargeable_a a_o dignity_n in_o man_n that_o be_v more_o concern_v for_o their_o family_n than_o for_o that_o small_a remnant_n of_o life_n that_o be_v before_o they_o be_v not_o so_o very_a extraordinary_n but_o since_o i_o be_o upon_o the_o discourse_n of_o promote_a of_o cardinal_n i_o will_v tell_v you_o a_o remarkable_a instance_n of_o a_o promotion_n that_o i_o do_v not_o remember_v to_o have_v meet_v with_o in_o any_o book_n and_o the_o dignity_n of_o the_o person_n and_o of_o the_o family_n descend_v from_o he_o make_v i_o think_v it_o worth_a the_o relate_n and_o the_o rather_o because_o i_o have_v it_o from_o no_o ordinary_a person_n but_o from_o one_o of_o the_o exact_a man_n in_o rome_n and_o who_o have_v take_v the_o great_a pain_n to_o be_v well_o
