Some time after the Pope obtained from the Emperour the City of _Novarre_ for his Son _Pietro Luigi_, and made up the match between his Grandchild _Octavio_ and the Princess _Margaret_ Daughter to the Emperour, and widdow of _Alexander Medici_; this done, the Pope undertook the recovery of the City of _Lamerino_, which he pretended to be devoted to the Church by the death of _Giovani Maria Varrano_, who had receiv’d the investiture of that place from _Leo_ the Tenth, and dyed without any male children, and upon this Title made warre against the young _Guido Ubaldo da Feltro_, who by the Womens side pretended a right to it, but not being able to maintain it, was fain to fly and leave the place to the Pope, who having taken it, presently gave the investiture to his Grand-child _Octavio Farneze_, making him Duke of _Camerino_, and Receivour General of the Church, having before made him Prefect of _Rome_ in the place of the Duke of _Urbin_. But this Popes ambition swell’d much higher, for he went about to buy the Dutchy of _Millan_ of the Emperour with the Churches money, and make an unalienable Patrimony of the Family of the _Farnezes_. But the Emperour, though very necessitous and extreamly sollicited by the Pope with a vast summe of ready mony, was nevertheless so prudent as not to dismember from his Empire so considerable a part of it. Besides this the Pope gave to his Son _Pietro Luigi_, against the consent of almost all the Cardinals, the noble Cities of _Parma_ and _Placentia_ in _Lombardy_, which were Fiefs of the Church. The said _Pietro Luigi_ was murdered by the principal Citizens of _Placentia_ in a conjuration layed and carried on by the Emperours order; who all along refused to confirm _Pietro Luigi_ in this new Principality, the Pope pretending that the Emperour should acknowledge him for lawful Lord and Master of these Cities; which he was so far from doing, that he endeavour’d to take them from him; whereupon the Pope was forced, that he might support his Son, to side with the _French_, who failed not to settle his Grand-child _Octavio_, though with this condition that he should renounce _Camerino_, and restore it to the Church, and be content with _Parma_ and _Placentia_, for which he should pay every year seven thousand Crowns to the Apostolick Chamber. Thus the Nipotismo was in great credit and Authority in _Pauls_ time: for this Pope spared nothing to make them great, alienating the Churches Lands, and maintaining them in the possession of their acquisitions with the Churches Mony, which stirr’d the indignation of all Christendome, and made the Hereticks, who by this time were multiplied like Grashoppers, take from them an occasion to deny the Popes authority and primacy.
