_Julius_ the third, who succeeded _Paul_, preserv’d his Nipotismo in a handsome condition and rank, but was not so furiously transported with Ambition to settle them in Dukedomes and Principalities. His humour was gay and merry, a good companion, and one that lov’d to eat and drink well with his friends. And yet though this jovial inclination of his made him little enclin’d to warlike attempts, he nevertheless sent great Succours to the Duke of _Florence_, _Cosino_, in his Warre against the _Sienezes_: and this because the said Duke had promis’d him to make his Brother _Baldwin_ Marquis of _Monte san Sabino_; which thing was not only executed, but besides, the Dukes Daughter was promised in Marriage to _Fabian de monti Baldovin_ his Son; she was afterwards married to _Alfonse_ Duke of _Ferrara_. _Giulio_ made also five of his Nephews Cardinals, to wit, _Christopher di Monte_, _Fulvio de la Corgna_, _Innocentia de Monte_, _Geronimo Simoncello_, and _Roberto de Monte pulcrano_. To these he was very liberal, but to say true, not prodigal, as his Predecessors had been. ’Tis true, he did what he could, to make his Brother _Baldwin_ Duke of _Camerino_, and deprive the Church of so good a State, but the Cardinals oppos’d him so vigorously, that he was fain to desist from his design. _Julius_ being dead, the very name of the Nipotismo dyed with him, for in the year 1555 _Marcelius_ the Second was made Pope; who would never endure, that any of his kindred should come neer _Rome_, no not his own Brother. Nay more, he would never suffer that two Nephewes of his, who before his Election liv’d with him, following their Studies in _Rome_ under his care, should receive any visits as his Nephews; and he forbid him to stir out of doors, least in going to School they should be owned in the streets, and receive the Complements of persons of quality. They that knew much of his mind while he was Cardinal, said after his death, That his intention was altogether bent to apply some remedy to the ambition of the Popes; and that he had particularly resolved to give to his Brother and Kindred but just as much as would maintain them like ordinary Gentlemen; but not so much as a simple Barony, much less Dukedomes and Principalities; and to this he would have the advice and consent of the whole Colledge of Cardinals, having a firme purpose of making most secure decrees, by which the Popes should be bound, and kindred from giving any thing to their Kindred without the consent of all the Cardinals. But while he was intent upon so good a work, he was surprized by death twenty dayes after his election; so that in so short a time he did neither good nor harme to the Church.
