Of _Don Sigismond_ there is little to be said, only that the Pope doth every day bestow upon him some considerable benefice, waiting only till he be of age to make him Cardinal, being now in the year 1667 but 17 years old, which keeps the Pope from admitting him to that honour, though it is thought, that in the first promotion he will not fail to be created Cardinal, and indeed with great deal more reason then Cardinal _Maldachini_ who was promoted for _Donna Olympia’s_ sake, at 18 years old, though much more unworthy of it then _Don Sigismondo_. ’Tis thought, that if the Pope should dye before he were made Cardinal, his inclinations would rather encline him to marriage then to a Batchelors life. But I am not of that opinion, for _Don Agostino_ his Brother hath prevented him in that, by giving, and procuring for him no other but Church Revenues; as Abbyes, and other Benefices, of which, if he should go to marry, he must be devested, and then he would be so poor that he would not meet with a match suitable to his quality. As for _Don Agostino_, Fortune seems to have espoused his interest; for from his first coming to _Rome_ till this present time, all things have succeeded very Prosperously, and much to his satisfaction, having met with a match according to his desire, and a principality, which was his hearts wish; so he hath nothing left to long for. This abundance of content hath so taken possession of his Soul, that it hath quite blotted out the remembrance of his former poor condition, insomuch that being puff’d up with pride and insolence, he scornes to take notice of the civilities that the Gentlemen of _Rome_ offer him when he goes through the streets; whereupon he hath contracted the Names of haughty and arrogant, and with them the hatred of almost all the _Romans_. He never had any inclination to learning; but he hath a good natural disposition for all those exercises which become a Gentleman, and in which he behaves himself very handsomly; he is about 30 years of Age, of a jovial disposition, loving company and mirth, and little troubling himself to purchase riches and treasure, being sure that there are enough to do it for him. And indeed _Don Mario_, and the rest of the kindred, think of getting what they can every one for themselves; but the Pope takes no care, but for _Don Agostino_, whose purse he has resolv’d to fill as full as he can; and we may conjecture of the Popes tender affection for _Don Agostino_ by three things which he hath done for him since his coming to _Rome_. The first was, that the Nipotismo had no sooner taken possession of the Vatican, but it pretended to give Lawes, not only to _Rome_, but to the Pope himself, and that in the dispensation of his favours to: and thus it was.
