_Charles Barbarino_, who is the third, is very obsequious to his Uncle _Francesco_, who does with a great deal of care give him such instructions, as may breed Vertue and Piety in him. Many think that most of his good qualities are feigned; but for my part, I think, we ought to judg well of exteriour probity, and leave the secret of dissimulation to him that knowes the heart; though most say, That he is _Cardinal_ Antonio _within_; _and Cardinal_ Francesco _without_. * * * * * But now it is time to leave the _Barbarines_, and come to _Donna Olympia’s_ brother in Law, that is _Innocentius_ the Tenth, who was chosen in 1649, contrary to the worlds expectation; not but that he was endowed with sufficient good qualities for so high a post: but that is the least thing that is considered by the Nipotismo, who in the creation of a new Pope are very careful not to advance one who should prove the enemy of their family. In this Conclave, the _Barbarines_ had resolved to give their votes; and those of their party, rather to Cardinal _Medici_, then to Cardinal _Pamphilio_; and the sooner, because, that upon the point that the Cardinals were to go into the Conclave, there were divers Pasquins made, and amongst the others this, _Quardateri di far Papa_ Pamphilio _che vi Mandarebbe tutti in Esilio_; and this other, _Pamphilio Mandara le Mosche in Esilio_: So that the chiefest aime of the Nipotismo was to procure the exclusion of _Pamphilio_, not only by means of their creatures, but also by a formal opposition from _France_, which the Cardinal _Antonio_ was very earnest for in that Court; but the more he bestirred himself for this exclusion, the more prognosticks there were of a contrary success. _Innocentius_ being then chosen in spight of the _Barbarines_, began to persecute them most furiously, and with so much rage and passion, that though at first no body pittyed them, yet at last it was thought too severe a proceeding: In the mean time _Rome_ was furnished immediately with another Nipotismo, as if it had been a perpetual custome and tradition of the Church not to be without one.
