Cardinal Ossatus in his 87. Epist. ad D. de Ville-roy, tells us that Pope Clement the eighth (one of the best of all the late ones) did press for the King of France to join with Spain in the Invasion of England, and the Cardinal answered that the King was tied by an Oath to the Queen of England: to which the Pope replied, that [The Oath was made to an Heretic, but he was bound in another Oath to God and the Pope] adding withal [that Kings and other Princes do permit themselves all things (or tolerate themselves in all things) which make for their commodity: and that the matter is gone so far, that it is not (or should not be) ⟨p. 352⟩imputed to them, or taken for their fault: and he alleged the saying of Franciscus Mariae Duke of Urbine, that indeed every one doth blame a Noble man, or Great man that is no Sovereign, if he keep not his Covenants, (or fidelity,) and they account him infamous; but supreme Princes may without any danger of their reputation, make Covenants and break them, lye, betray, and perpetrate other such like things] This was good Pope Clement the eighth. And can we look for better from the rest? You see what Oaths and Covenants are with them.
