What shall I say of _Leo_ the Tenth, of the most Noble Family of the _Medici_? Where shall I find the good which he did to the Church, spoiling other Princes of their States, to transfer them to his own House? What Title shall we give to _Julius_ the Second, of whom it was not known whether he were inclin’d to the hatred or love of his Relations? What shall I say of _Pius_ the Third, who liv’d not long enough to receive the Visits of his Kindred? But if there be not much to be said of the forementioned _Popes_, there is a super-abundance of matter to be said of _Alexander_ the Sixth, whose very memory raises horror in the breasts of the _Romans_, even to this day. It seems God Almighty thought fit to chastise _Christendom_ with the barbarity of this _Pope_, who, not contented with his own cruel, covetous, and insatiable nature, introduc’d a _Nipotismo_ not degenerating from the manners of their Uncle. Amongst the other _Popes_ and their Nephews, was seen, though in the midst of much ill, some spark and glimmering of good; whereas in the Person of _Alexander_ and his Nephews, was never perceptible the least ray of good, amidst a vast Ocean of evil; deplorable even by future Ages, not only to those which were so unhappy as to see him living. Some strongly believed, That this _Barbarian Pope_ had sworn himself, and caus’d his Kindred likewise to swear, _Never to do good to the Church_. And they had reason to think so, whilst no sort of Reason prevailed with him, or any of them, who acted all things with an Authority not otherwise limited than by their own unbridled Passion. He would not allow that the City of _Rome_ should enjoy certain holy priviledges peculiar to it alone; and therefore in the year 1500, having publish’d an Universal _Jubile_, he granted more Indulgences to those that staid at home than to those who, as the custom is, came to visit the Churches of _Rome_, ordain’d for that purpose. Nevertheless, some were willing to think that he did this out of good policy, as doubting lest, all the people of Christendom being already offended with the wicked carriage of his Sons, there might happen at _Rome_, amidst the variety and confusion of sundry Nations, some resolution to the prejudice of all his House. But such reasons had no place in his mind; for those that came to _Rome_, were led thither by devotion; and the diversity of Nations hinders the Union of a People that would take Arms against their Lord.
