The _Pope_, the better to compass his intention, sent to _London_ certain Prelates disguised, who had been heretofore intimate with _Marc Antony_. These, coming to him secretly, promised him not only the _Pope’s_ and the Churches pardon; but also assured him, that he should be made Cardinal at the next promotion. The Archbishop, trusting to the Oaths and Engagement of these Prelates, left _England_, and return’d once more to _Rome_, where he made a recantation of all his Errours, as they call’d them; But a little after, being carefully watched by the _Pope’s_ Spies, they took hold of some words that he said; and having clapt him up in the Inquisition Prison, began to question him for Heresie; and without doubt he had undergone the dreadful fire of the _Roman_ Purgatory, if timely death had not prevented the _Pope’s_ revenge. In a word, this _Pope_ had undertaken the ruine of all Protestant Princes; wherefore he sent great Succours to the Emperour in his war against the Prince _Palatine_ of _Rhine_, who after some resistance was driven out of his Country, and proclaimed Traytor to the Empire: whereupon his dignity of Prince Elector was conferred upon _Maximilian_, Duke of _Baviere_, a Catholick Prince, much protected by the _Pope_. And the Emperour, in acknowledgment of the _Pope’s_ zeal and affection, presented him with the Prince _Palatines_ Library, esteemed, for the great number of Manuscripts in all Tongues, one of the most famous of all _Europe_: The _Pope_, having thanked his Imperial Majesty, caused the Library to be transported to _Rome_ with great charge and expence; and as soon as it came, he solemnly sanctified it with his blessing, and so laid it up. _Paul_ the fifth was almost of the same humour, though he did not undertake things so rashly, but would wisely consider the good and evil that might come of them. It is believed, that in his time an infinite number of Hereticks return’d to the Church of _Rome_; but I am sure, that above a hundred _Italian_ Families forsook their Country, and withdrew into Protestant Princes Territories, where they might freely follow the Rites of their Religion. Particularly, they went to _Geneva_, where great numbers resorted every day, and above all many _Lucheses_, of which some are now aggregated amongst the principal Families of that City. This _Pope_, though so zealous for the Church, was nevertheless very Indulgent to his Family, who did usurp a power and authority, as prejudicial to the Church as it was offensive to Princes; with whom the _Borgheses_, as well as the _Barberins_, would often enter into contest. In the time of this _Pope_, _Italy_ had like to have seen sixteen Cities of it become Protestants, as Monsieur _De Lion_, the French King’s Embassadour told the _Pope_; and thus the occasion was:
