As soon as any Abbey was vacant, it was immediately conferr’d upon one of them, and then as soon as any other good Benifice fell out, it was presented to the other; so that between them, they had all that was rich and worth speaking of, at last both Cardinals, being so full that they could hold no more, would bestow vacant Benifices upon their little Nephews: nay, to above five or six of _Urban’s_ little Cozens, were given Benefices while they were yet in their Cradles; the precedent Popes Decrees being despised, and by these proceedings, the very bread taken out of the mouths of those Prelates, that had served the Church with zeal and care; which was enough almost to make them desperate, seeing little children, scarce born, preferred to them, who had so much deserts. More then this, I think it may be said, that some Benefices were disposed of to those that were not yet born; for in the Articles of marriage of one of the _Barbarines_ with a Lady of the family of _Colonna_, one was, _That a certain Abby should be given to the first-born_; so that in the time of this good Pope, Church lands were bestowed on those, who were not yet in the world, but by imagination; and those that had really, and with great pains, serv’d the Church, were altogether depriv’d of their reward. A certain Prelate of _Bologne_, who with great zeal had bestirred him in his Ecclesiastical employment, went to _Rome_ to receive his recompence, and having presented himself to the _Barbarines_, was desired to stay a little while: This little while proved the space of eight years, in which an infinity of Benefices were vacant, but the good Prelate could get none of them, because that the _Barbarines_ divided all amongst themselves, he seeing this, resolved to return home empty as he came; and as he was going out of _Rome_, some body from the _Barbarines_ told him, that he ought to expect a little longer, and take a little more patience: To whom, with tears in his eyes, he answered, _They must be Saints_, _and not men_, _who can see the bread eaten from their mouths by the_ Barbarines, _and not be cast into despair_. Another, who had stayed as long to no purpose resolved at last to be gone; and being importun’d by his friend to stay a little longer, answered him thus, _If the Church_, _dear friend_, _had as many Popedomes_, _as the Pope hath Nephews and Cozens_, _and that there one that did not see some where_, _I might have some hopes_; _but since there is but one Popedom_, _I should be a fool to expect any part of it from those_, _who do not think it enough to divide among themselves_.
