and thereupon the Cardinals of the kings and the French kings adherents, to depart the Conclave, whereby, repairing to other sure place, they with the residue of the cardinals absent, may proceed to such an election, as may be to Gods pleasure, the weal of his Church, and faith, and of all Christendom, any election that thus by pertinacity may ensue at Rome, notwithstanding. And to the intent the Cardinals may be the better animated to finish the said election to the kings desire,1 the kings said Orators shall as they see good, offer them a presidie of ij or iij.M. men to be in the City of Rome, for the time of the same election, which if they will accept, the said Orators shall see furnished, taking money by exchange and otherwise, for their entertainment, as shall be requisite. Which money or any other that they shall take for conducing this the kings purpose, shall be truly repaid, with 2inpesse and all requisites as they shall assign. And semblably, least terrors or dread of the Imperials in Naples, should induce the Cardinals to any error, the French king hath ordained that Seignior Renzio shall lie in a presidye, between the army of Naples and the City of Rome, like as the Viscount of Turenne is also commanded to lye on the other side, and semblably, the Venetians. So that by those means not only they shall be out of all fear of the Imperials, but also in the more devotion of these two Princes, which shall much confer to the ⟨p. 993⟩kings purpose, and embolden the Cardinals favouring the desire of these two princes, both to persist in their deliberation, and also in time of extreme despair, to protest and depart, as is aforesaid. And because nothing should withdraw the minds of the Cardinals from this purpose, who percase might think that the said L. Legate of York being elected, would not repair to the court of Rome, but 3demore in Avignon or some other place, out of Italy, the kings said Ambassadors shall remove all such suspicions, by two evident arguments and reasons One is, that the said Cardinal of York advanced to that dignity,4 must thereby leave all other his promotions, and consequently should be dispurueyed of any habitation, place, or convenient living, if remaining in an other strange country, he should defer to come unto Rome, where should be the place of his See, and entire living.
