That the Pope gathereth about a thirty thousand Ducats yearly of these Courtesans by way of an annual pension, which these Defenders affirm,‡ it is utterly false. Cornelius Agrippa, who favoured not the See of Rome, and was imbrued with Heresies, that sprang up in his time, was the first Author of this slander. If they pay the common taxes, which be levied to the Pope, who only hath civil Dominion over that City, they* pay not for that they may be suffered to continue that sinful trade of life, but so as the whole City payeth by polls, for that there they have their abode and habitation.
