_Gregory_ the Thirteenth had Nephews, who did not degenerate from the Name of _Buoncompagno_; that is to say, they little car’d to do good, and less to do evil. Nevertheless, according to the Instinct which seems natural to _Pope’s_ Nephews, this Family of _Buoncompagno_ could not restrain it self from disgusting some of the principal Persons of the City, by the death of two Gentlemen, pretended to be slain by accident, through the indiscretion of the _Sbirri_ or Serjeants. A Policy observed by all Nephews, to colour their vindicative Outrages upon all occasions. From hence it may be gathered, That the intention of the _Buoncompagni_ propended more to Evil than to Good; and accordingly they fail’d not to give Instances of the former, though ’tis hard to find any of the latter. But if Nephewship ever did good in _Rome_, ’twas in the time of _Pius_ the Fifth, when all the Proceedings of the Nephews were directed to Good, in regard they wanted Spirit to gainsay the good intention of this _Pope_; who could not endure to see them in _Rome_, out of a jealousie, that being fatned with the Treasure of the Church, they might fall into the same wicked Road, which had been trodden out by so many others. _Paul_ the Fourth (for there is not much to be said of _Pius_ the Fourth) took not the same course; for he advanc’d a Nephew, who for the space of neer five years, knew not how to do any thing but evil, and evil so enormous, that his Uncle was forced to drive him out of _Rome_, and his Successor to put him to death in _Rome_. In the beginning of this _Pope’s_ Reign, the Murthers, Rapes, Violences, Robberies, Cheats, Injustices, and a thousand other Enormities and Vices, which surrounded the Ecclesiastical State, to the damage of all _Christendom_, were attributed to the _Pope_, who had set up his Kindred in _Rome_; whom after the _Pope_ had banished the City, his Holiness’s Reputation seem’d to revive in the hearts of the Catholicks, who had been scandalized at him, and now saw, that all the Mischiefs were to be attributed to the _Pope’s_ wicked Relations. ’Tis a strange thing, That amongst so many Nephews great and small of the House of _Caraffa_, into whose hand the _Pope_ had put the Government of the Church, there should not be one into whose head ever came so much as a single thought to do any manner of good to the Church, to _Christendom_, or to the afflicted State Ecclesiastical. The mischief which the Nephews of _Pope Caraffa_ brought to the Church, or rather to the whole World, was so great, that to this present day the People of _Rome_ retain a certain impression of hatred against all that bear the Name of _Caraffa_, however Noble Gentlemen; it not being possible for any so much as to behold one of them, without regret and aversion.
