But no sooner had Cardinal _Panzirollo_ yeilded up his last breath, but _Astalli_ began to perceive the decay of his fortune, and to mistrust that which afterwards befell him; for no sooner had this Cardinal shut his eyes, but the Popes kindred went about to undo him, and easily compass’d their intention, the Pope beginning to revive that affection, which he had formerly born to his Sister in law. One morning then, as the Cardinal _Padrone_ was rising out of his bed, he receiv’d a Message from the Pope, whereof the bearer told him, _That by his Holinesses Order he was banished from_ Rome, _and forbidden the Popes presence for ever_; _that he should lay aside the title of Cardinal_ Padrone, _and renounce the name of Nephew as well as that of_ Pamphilio. And in a word, not only all his Revenue was seised on, but he could not get leave to transport any thing of his houshold-stuffe or moveables. So that the poor Cardinal was fain to forsake _Rome_, seeing that all _wayes_ to justifie himself were shut up, and all the favour he could obtain was, that he might depart in the night, to avoid the derision and mocking of the people. The motive of this so severe a sentence, with which _Astalli_ was treated, as if he had been guilty of high Treason, was this; The _Barbarines_ having been recall’d and reconcil’d to the Pope, were now great with him, and at their perswasion, _Innocent_ had begun to think of taking the Kingdom of _Naples_ from the _Spaniard_; upon which subject there were often Conferences held between him, the _Barbarines_, and his Kindred, excluding still from their Counsels the Cardinal _Astalli_; who thereby perceiving, that the Popes Kindness for him did begin to abate, thought it would be prudently done, to provide in time some other protection, that so his fall might be less, and he might have something to hang by, which might hinder him from falling to the bottom of that precipice, which was digging for him. Having therefore penetrated into these secret designs of the Pope, he gave the _Spaniards_ notice of them closely, and the advice came no sooner to the Catholick Kings ears, but he immediately gave such Orders in the Kingdom of _Naples_, as quite disappointed the _Barbarines_ plot, by shutting that door, which was to give an entrance to the execution of their design. _Azzolini_, a Confident and Spy of _Donna Olympia’s_, took upon him to discover who it was that had betrayed them, and after an exact search found, that it could be no body but _Astalli_; whereupon the Pope banish’d him, and made _Azzolini_ Cardinal for his recompence.
