high commendation and praise whatever in such an Audience was fit to be said The Popes Answer by Anthony Buradapulius After this was done Anthony Burapadulius made in the Pope's behalf this Answer which in brief was thus That the Kings had done exceeding prudently and religiously and were highly to be commended for thus sending their nearest Relations in an Embassy so expensive long and
