There is nothing to be said of this Ladies Daughters, except that the Popedom is come in good time into the Family of the _Chigi_, for else they and their Husbands had been brought very low; for when they were married they had nothing, and their Husbands but very little, which was almost consum’d by the charge of children coming on every day. The Pope, to content the Father and Mother, gave these Ladies leave to appear in _Rome_, where they were receiv’d and treated very obligingly, by their brother the Cardinal _Padrone_, and were also visited by all the _Roman_ Nobility, and by the Ambassadours and Princes. _Don Agostino_ was also very kind to them, though with reserve, being somewhat jealous to see them so near the Pope, whose benevolence and good will he would fain ingross for the Masculine line of the Family: And in publick the Pope did not give any demonstrations of particular favour to them, that he might not increase _Don Agostino’s_ jealousies, and the Courts murmurs; but in private he bestowed upon each of them three thousand Crowns; and in giving them this money, he said two or three times, That _what he did was out of charity_; _and that it was not his design to dissipate and spend the Churches Revenue upon his Kindred_: And these Ladies, who were born in _Siena_, and not in _Spain_, were not so scrupulously addicted to preserve the honour of their Gentility, as to refuse such Almes, as a _Spaniard_ would have done: And I believe, Reader, that you would be of the same mind, and be well pleased, if any body would give you a good sum of money, for the love of God, and out of pure charity. Besides this, _Don Mario_, and his Lady, have without doubt, been liberal to them out of that heap of Treasure, which they so well know how to get together; so that these Ladies journey to _Rome_, hath been, no doubt, a golden journey for them, which we may conjecture, by the state they live in now at _Siena_, having bought divers Lands and Houses. This is all that hitherto can be said of this _Nipotismo_: But besides these, the Pope hath another _Nipotismo_, of a remoter consanguinity; who are so many, that they are innumerable; and the Pope hath been hitherto averse to their coming to _Rome_, I believe, because he is unwilling to disoblige the nearest _Nipotismo_; but if his Pontificate last, as it is thought it may, the Pope, who is naturally inclin’d to do good, may by little and little give them a share in his good fortune, by Employments, Benefices, or some wayes. Neither doth the Pope for all this, set aside his own content, which is, to erect noble Buildings and stately Edifices, wherefore he hath doubled the Workmen, in that vast Enterprize of Saint _Peter’s_ Church, being very desirous to see it finished; and having often said to some Cardinals, his Confidents, that he should not dye content, if he dyed before that were ended.
