We leapt not so lightly to Placentia, M. Harding, but rather rest at Verona, and say the Truth. For Pope Paulus, that should have punished his wicked Son, and have burnt him to death for his abominable outrage, removed not to Placentia, 1but remained still in Rome. Johannes Sleidanus saith, that the young Gentleman, the Bishop of Fanum, upon whom Petrus Aloisius the Popes Son had showed that horrible villainy, shortly after died for shame, and heaviness. Yet, he saith, it is thought of some, that Petrus Aloisius, after his wicked act committed, gave him poison, and so killed him, lest he should make complaint thereof unto the Emperor. He addeth further, Paulus nihil ò secius impensè amabat Filium: & ad ipsius amplificationem omne studium conuertit. Et cùm de eius flagitijs nonnunquam audiret, fertur non admodum aegrè tulisse: & hoc solùm consuevisse dicere, Haec illum vitia non se commonstratore didicisse: Pope Paul nevertheless favoured his Son above measure: and bestowed all his care, to increase him in Honour. And, whereas he heard sometime of his shameful acts, the report is, that he was not much offended therewith: but used only thus to say, Well, yew is he never learned these vices by my example. So cruel, and terrible is the Pope in repressing of Sin.

Yet, he saithe, it is thought of somme, that Petrus Aloisius, after his wicked acte committed, gaue him poison, and so killed him, leaste he should make complainte thereof vnto the Emperoure. He addeth further, Paulus nihil ò secius impensè amabat Filium: & ad ipsius amplificationem omne studium conuertit. Et cùm de eius flagitijs nonnunquam audiret, fertur non admodum aegrè tulisse: & hoc solùm consueuisse dicere, Haec illum vitia non se commonstratore didicisse: Pope Paule neuerthelesse fauoured his Sonne aboue measure: and bestowed al his care, to encrease him in Honoure.
