Their former suspicion and distrust of him revived, and the divines of Magdeburg tilled Germany with writings in which they represented him as the most for midable enemy of the Protestant religion, who treacherously assumed an appearance of zeal for its interest, that he might more eﬂ'ectually execute his schemes for its destruction.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Reign of the Emperor Charles V, Vol. 1 of 4: With a View of the Progress of Society in Europe, From the Subversion of the Roman Empire, to the Beginning of the Sixteenth Century But with respect to the history of foreign states, we must set other bounds to our desire of inf orma tion. The universal progress of science during the last two centuries, the art of printing, and other obvious causes, have filled Europe with such a multiplicity of histories, and with such vast col lections of historical materials, that the term of human life is too short for the study or even the perusal of them. It is necessary, then, not only for those who are called to conduct the aﬂ' airs of nations, but for such as inquire and reason con cemin g them, to remain satisfied with a general knowledge of distant events, and to confine their study of history in detail chieﬂy to that period in which, the several states of Europe having become intimately connected, the operations of one power are so felt by all as to inﬂuence their councils and to regulate their measures.

Ii. 247. By a letter of M. D'urfe, Nov. 5, it appears that the Pope was in such good health, that on the third of that month he had celebrated the anniversary of his corona tion with the usual solemnities. Ibidem, 251. By another letter from the same person, we learn that on the sixth of November, 3 catarrh or de uxion fell down on the Pope's lungs, with such dangerous symptoms, that his life was im mediately despaired of. Ibid. 252. And by a third letter, We are informed that he died November the tenth. In none of these letters is his death imputed to any extraordinary cause. It appears that more than twenty days elapsed be tween Octavio's attempt on Parma and the death of his grand father, and that the disease was the natural effect of old age.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Reign of Emperor Charles V, Vol. 1 of 4: With a View of the Progress of Society in Europe, From the Subversion of the Roman Empire to the Beginning of the Sixteenth Century Some boundary, then, ought to be fixed in order to separate these periods. An era should be pointed out, prior to which each country, little connected with those around it, may trace its own history apart; after which the transactions of every considerable nation in Europe be come interesting and instructive to all. With this intention I undertook to write the history of the Emperor charles V. It was during his administration that the powers of Europe were formed into one great political system, in which each took a station, wherein it has since remained with less variation than could have been expected after the shocks occasioned by so many internal revolutions and so many foreign wars. The great events which hap pened then have not hitherto spent their force. The political principles and max ims then established still continue to Ope rate. The ideas concerning the balance Of power, then introduced or rendered general, still inﬂuence the councils of na tions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Reign of the Emperor Charles 5, Vol. 4 For this purpose, he determined to recal his grant of Parma and Placentia, and after declaring them to be re-annexed to the Holy See, to indemnify his grandson Octavio by a new establishment in the ecclesiastical state. By this expedient, he hoped to gain two points of no small consequence. He, first of all, rendered his possession of Parma more secure; as the Emperor would be cautious of invading the patrimony of the church, though he might seize without scruple a town belonging to the house of Farnese. In the next place, he would acquire a better chance of recovering Placentia, as his solicitations to that effect might decently be urged with greater importunity, and would infallibly be attended with more weight, when he was considered not as pleading the cause of his own family, but as an advocate for the interest of the church.
