Guicciardine their Historian saith, that [Those are called Good Popes, whose Goodness is not worse then other mens wickedness.]
And if you think that now the matter is much mended, read but Claud. Espensaeus in Tit. 1. pag. 75. complaining that the promises made by the Pope of Reformation, at the Council of Trent were all broken, and nothing done but deceit and shows. And of Pope Sixtus the fifth Bellarmine gave out his judgement, that he thought when he dyed, he went to the Devil, saying, [Qui sine paenitentia vivit, & sine paenitentia moritur, proculdubio ad infernum descendit] [He that lives without Repentance, and dyeth without Repentance, undoubtedly goes to Hell.] And saith Watson of him (in Quodl. b. pag. 56, 57.) Bellarmine said to an English Doctor [Conceptis verbis, quantum capio, quantum sapio, quantum intelligo, Dominus noster Papa descendit ad infernum] [As far as I can reach, as far as I have any wisdom, as far as I understand, in plain terms, our Lord the Pope is gone to Hell.] But which way he went thither, all the world knows not, but Barthol. Morisot. in the Life of Henry the Great of France, cap. 17. saith [That when the Spaniards perceived his contrivances to forsake their party, lest he should join with the enemy, they caused him to be strangled in the night by a Franciscan, or one in a Monks habit; and the next day gave out that a Domestic Devil had strangled him, and to make good the report, a Book was written of his life, and printed, where all the wickedness of Pope Alexander the sixth is charged on him.]
