poison and venemous things; so in policie men may learne by the villa∣nous and bloudie carriage of such mens actions, how to manage a iust and lawfull cause in doing execution vpon rebels and traitors: Namely, to do nothing to the halfes: but when the sword of iustice is drawne, to throw the scabberd into the fire.
A post is dispatched to Rome from the sonne to his father, with newes of the stratageme at Sinigaglia. The Pope keepes it secret: sends for the Cardinall Orsini then in towne, to come to Court. He repaires to the Vatican vpon the first summons, in assu∣rance of the late accord, and affiance in the Popes promise. At his coming he is arrested, and committed prisoner to the Castle S. Angelo. The Pope meaneth to make all sure, and to lay hands vpon all the other heads of the family Orsini. Rinaldo the Arch∣bishop of Florence, with the Abbot of Aluiano, and Iacopo Santa Croce, are all sodainly apprehended in their houses, and impriso∣ned. The Cardinall after twenty daies durance, dies; of sicknes, as it was giuen out, but of poison, as it was verily and generally beleeued. The Pope makes present seizure of all their lands.
