History of the Popes During the Last Four Centuries

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Polo Capello promises to treat on four subjects: the cardinals, the relations or dispositions of the pope towards the king of France and towards Venice respectively; the intentions (el desiderio) Of his holiness, and what they might expect from him; but as this division of his subject was not founded on any very accurate distinctions, he does not rigidly adhere to it.
