Another time, he took an occasion of sending some Silver vessels, and some Silk stuffs, to be employed in Ornaments for Churches, with order, that they should be recommended to _Don Mario_, to dispose of them according to the Popes intention; but _Don Mario_, in opening the boxes, found above four Purses full of Gold, Gold all newly coin’d, with the Stamp of the Popes-head upon them. The Embassadours of Princes, and the Cardinals, having perceiv’d, that all this apparent aversion to his Kindred, was but jugling and hypocrisie, made it their business, to induce him by prayers and entreaties to change his resolution; particularly, having observ’d, that the Popes design was, to be thus urged and pressed, that he might gain reputation in the world, and be furnished with an excuse, whensoever, at their request, he should introduce his banished Relations. And indeed, they had gain’d so much upon him, that he did begin to hearken to their reasons with a milder countenance, and less reluctancy: Yet there was one thing which hindred him from coming to the execution of this his design, which was the Oath he had taken before the Crucifix in the beginning of his Popedom, not to receive his Kindred in _Rome_; but the Jesuites, who were his Confessors, and who are as subtle Philosophers as learned Casuists, found out an evasion, which much pleased his Holiness; for it gave him leave to comfort his kindred, to yield to the Prayers and Sollicitations of Princes, and to ease himself of a part of the weight and cares of government. They told him then, that indeed it would have been a breach of his Oath, to receive his kind in _Rome_; but that he might, with a safe conscience, go and meet them half a dayes journey of _Rome_, and so not at all endanger his soul: was much liked, and put in execution by the _Pope_, though it seemed to the Court a ridiculous evasion, which became the subject of their laughter and drollery for a great while. The Pope being then at last resolved, Orders were dispatch’d to _Siena_ to the _Nipotismo_, which was there assembled, in expectation of this news as if they had waited for Manna from Heaven. So _Don Mario_, his Wife and Children, and _Don Agostino_, with a numerous attendance, left _Siena_ and took their journey towards _Calstel Gandelfe_, a House of pleasure of the Popes, where they met his Holiness, who receiv’d them, and embraced them with the greatest demonstrations affection and kindness that was possible; and after some short stay there, came back to _Rome_ with them in triumph. * * * * *
