the Interdict they should abandon their places and depart that it was the intention of Our Lord so they called the Pope and if they could not depart that they should in this cause suffer martyrdome But to the rented and endowed they gaue to vnderstand that the Pope though hee would haue the Interdict obserued yet hee would not therefore haue the Monasteries abandoned They sent also as Commissaries some of the Regulars of the same Order such as being the most abiect in their Congregations had offered themselues to goe into dangers to acquire to themselues some credit but some had not the boldnesse to enter within the State as also neither by their menaces nor promises were any seduced sauing some few timorous or ambitious who yeelded vpon hope of great recompences Further they suborned some hypocrites or Hermites to enter within the Countrey to excite some troubles among the people but being found vpon the confines loaden with papers and instructions they were sent backe vpon a commandement giuen by the Senate the 24. of May to all Gouernours to take heed that no Religious or Priests from forraine parts should enter with any writings for feare and for preuenting of sedition All these deuises of the spirituall armes and artifices couered with pretext of Religion and piety remained thus without effect within the State of the Republique But in the Courts of Princes these differences were receiued very diuersly In Polonia Lewis Foscarini being come Ambassador expresly to congratulate with that King for his mariage the Nuntio of the Pope in that Kingdome and the Iesuites did what they could to make him receiue some affront The Nuntio first desired the King that the Monitorie might be published wherein he was absolutely denied whereupon addressing himselfe vnto the Religious he gaue order to all of them that they should not admit within their Churches the Ambassador or any of his People And afterwards two of his Gentlemen being gone to heare Masse at the Cordeliers they were put out of the Church of which the Ambassador hauing made complaint to the Marshall of the Court he and the Cardinall of Cracouia commanded those Religious that the day following they should sing a solemne Masse to which they should inuite the Ambassador first demanding him pardon for the affront giuen vnto his Gentlemen The Masse was celebrated with great concourse of people and displeasure of the Nuntio The King approued of that which had beene done by his Officers and by Decree of Parliament was published an Edict prohibiting all men from doing any act that might displease the Republique and he writ vnto the Pope complaining of the attempt of his Nuntio where he added that his Holinesse had great occasion to make esteeme of the Republique to which all his Kingdome and he himselfe inclined being moued both by his owne interest and by that of his Kingdome He said moreouer that for light occasions and where no point of faith was questioned it was not good to make so great stirres and exhorted his Holinesse to be willing to appease these broiles making mention againe how much the enterprise of the Nuntio had displeased him and all his Councell and so much the more because it was a thing vnheard in his Kingdome that they should therin publish Censures against any Prince whatsoeuer seeing it was not done when the Monitories were published against the King Henry 3 and after that in the cause of Ferrara against the Duke Coesar de Este that it did not stand with reason to gouerne thēselues after another fashion toward the Republike of Venice whose cause was common with his Kingdome All these particularities the King imparted to the Ambassador yea himselfe deliuered him a Copie of Lawes of his Kingdome like to those of Venice In the Court of the Emperour by reason of the ordinary difficultie to haue Audience of his Maiestie the Ambassador treated with all the Imperiall Ministers who shewed themselues sensible of the wrongs of the Republique alledging that in all the States of Germany were obserued like constitutions and highly displeased they were for that which the Pope had done because the Protestants would take hence aduantage for to fortifie their reasons to the end to retaine Ecclesiasticall Benefices only the Great Chancellor and the Marshall Prainer inclined for the Pope In the end Francis Soranzo Ambassador had Audience of the Emperour who thanked him for communicating these matters with him and maruelled that the Nuntio had neuer spoken vnto him thereof and exhorted him to finde some temperament of composition But Corpus Christi day being come vpon which the Iesuites are wont to make a very solemne Procession whereat assist al the Ministers of Princes the Fathers did what they could with the Ambassador of the Republique that he would be absent who bitterly reprehending them resolued to be there as he was the Nuntio in the meane while faining himselfe to be indisposed to auoid it But two other being to be made the daies following the Nuntio considered what preiudice it would be to him if they were done as the first And therefore he employed the Ambassadour of Tuscany to deale with him of Venice that he should not be present threatning otherwise he would cause the Church doores to be shut vp and hinder the Procession in as much as he was not to he admitted into the Church being a person Excommunicate Wherefore he might doe well to preuent the scandall that would ensue since all the Protestants would vnite themselues to him and on the other side all Catholiques separate from him Hereupon the Ambassador referred himselfe to be directed by the Emperour but his Maiesty not willing to meddle in these Ecclefiasticall matters the Ambassador resolued to take Physicke and keepe in fearing to receiue some affront by the meanes of the Iesuites and of the Nuntio being herein aided by the Marshall Prainer ill affected to the Republique to whom no other Minister did oppose himselfe vpon hope to haue 100000. crowns frō the Pope for the war against the Turkes But afterwards the Pope hauing refused to giue that succour for want wherof they were constrained to make peace with the Mutiners of Hungary and to yeeld vnto them the places which they had seised with the exercise of their Religion and the Marshall Prainer being dead as also the Nuntio a little softened after that he saw the Nuntio's of France and Spaine had beene made Cardinals without any reckoning of himselfe things there receiued some change and the Ambassador of Venice was freely euery where admitted And there is no doubt that if he had shewed himselfe firme from the beginning he had surmounted all difficulty seeing that a Month after complaining in the name of the Republique to the Emperour and representing vnto him that besides the iniurie done to Him his Maiestie had therein beene wronged in that the Pope should intrude himselfe to command within his Court the Ministers of Princes which were there for to

the wars which were put in the Garrisons He made also some musters of Horse-men within their quarters that they might not be payed who appeared on horses for the most part borrowed being not able to furnish themselues with horses vnlesse they had receiued their pay He brought also out of ranke some Spanish Souldiers comming downe from Monaco and Final and made them diligently to labour at Pauie in the Castle of Milan for the transporting of the Artillery And the Pope to enduce the Count de Fuentes to serue him with more cheerefulnesse gaue many Benefices in Spaine to his kins-men and to such as he commended and to aid his expences he granted him the Tenthes out of the Clergie of Milan although the Ecclesiastiques assembled by the Cardinall Borromeo for the execution of this Grant did contradict it saying that the charge was new and had neuer beene imposed Wherefore they resolued humbly to intreat his Holinesse and the Count de Fuentes that such a nouelty might not be introduced The Count was not earnest in the affaire and therefore it easily passed without execution He made also a rumor to be scattered that he would haue an armie in readinesse of fiue and twenty thousand men composed of Neapolitans Dutch Suisses and Spaniards but because he began not to execute this Designe till the yeare following we shall speake more thereof in due place In the meane while the Spaniards armed at Naples six and twenty Gallies to be ready vpon any exigent But the Senate at Venice did not so much attend the Preparations of the Pope as to preuent some ambushes and the army at Sea prouided at Naples Therefore besides the eight and twenty Gallies which they had ordinarily they adioined other ten and three great Gallies with twentie lesser Barques whereof each one carried fifty Souldiers They gaue charge vnto the Prouisor Generall in Candie that he should send to Corfu the Gallies appointed for the guard of that Isle well strengthned They commanded all the Sea-Captaines to retaine all Vessels which passed by the Gulfe for what place soeuer and to send them vnto Venice except such as had Patents from the K. of Spaine for his affaires which brought a great disorder on the Coasts of Romagna and the Marquisate of Ancona which by this meanes were in a manner besieged All exportation of Corne was prohibited euen vnto Subiects Ecclesiasticall and the transportation of Gold and Siluer aboue ten Ducates into the State of the Church the Reuenues of such Ecclesiastiques as were out of the State were sequestred which brought many incommodities to the Court of Rome many Prelates being hereby constrained to abridge their Families and expences The leuies of men which had beene made out of Families were discharged to a third part to the end that al heads of Families and men maried should be left behind and that third amounted to the number of twelue thousand foot-men Besides the Garrisons which were ordinarily kept in the Forts they leuyed in the beginning two thousand Italians six hundred Corses and an hundred and fifty Alban Horse vnder three Captaines to whom they ioyned six hundred more vnder the pay accustomed all which were distributed vpon the Continent in seuerall places sending to this effect Nicholas Delfin to be Prouisor on this side the Menzo and Iohn Iames Zanne vpon the Po and in the Polesin of Rouigo And the troubles after increasing they intertained six thousand Italian foot-men the ordinary Bands remaining which were put vnder the charge of certaine Gentlemen of the Continent Subiects of the Signiory which were augmented the yeare following vnto the number of twelue thousand foot besides those of the former leuies and foure thousand horse as shall be said hereafter In the same time the Cities and other particular Subiects offered to contribute whensoeuer they should be commanded and these offers from diuers places amounted to the number of seuen thousand foot-men and twelue hundred horse which were not leuyed because at length peace was concluded As also there was no need to make vse of those Christians Subiects of the Turke whom the Arch-bishop of Philadelphia a man highly esteemed among the Greekes as well for his good life as for his excellent learning offered to cause to come by his authority in such numbers as they would desire and vpon such honest conditions as the Senate should iudge fit whereunto the Turkes also easily accorded Likewise for the same reason they did not imploy the seuerall succours which some French Lords offered among whom the Duke de Maien offered to send his sonnes and the Prince of Ionuile his nephew and Monsieur de Boniuet whose ancestors haue beene alwaies well affected to the Republique was purposing to come himselfe in person And the Protestants of that Kingdome not onely offered voluntarily Captaines and Souldiers but euen sollicited to be therein imployed and although the Senate thanked them with a purpose to serue themselues of them if need required yet had they a firme resolution not to vse them vnlesse they were pressed with extreme necessitie as also not first to begin the Warre in Italie but onely prepare themselues for defence in case they should be assaulted The Count de Fuentes for to maintaine the effect of the promise of his King and of his sleights gaue the Pope often to vnderstand sometime by meanes of the Ambassador of his Master at Rome sometime by expresse persons what he purposed to doe and how he had resolued to hinder the passage of any souldiers into Italy giuing aduise that hee kept a strong guard on the confines of the Grisons to that end and that he was armed in the frontiers of Venice to keepe them in awe All this notwith standing the Pope knew well that by reason of the dearth and famine which was in Naples the Prouisions out of that Kingdome would goe on but slowly and further he saw that hee could not satisfie the demands which were made on the behalfe of Spaine Besides he thought deeply vpon the words which that King had spoken to his Nuntio that his purpose was not to moue any warre but onely to assist the Pope if he were assaulted in his owne State for which cause he imagined that the King of Spaine did rather desire to see Him lose reputation and the Republique driuen to expences then that the affaire should be ended to his aduantage And therefore hee lent an eare to all that spake of the accord and especially because it was ardently desired by his Brethren who had a purpose to buy Regnano of Lucio Sauelli as afterward they did notwithstanding the need which the See Apostolique had of money For these considerations the Pope heard and fauoured greatly the Ambassador of the most Christian King who spake vnto him touching the accord and although the Ambassador of Spaine did the same offices for a Peace his Holinesse neuerthelesse hearkned more willingly to him of France as well because he iudged
