| Have remarked in his letters of the 19th ultimo that the mission to Scotland by the Pope of the reverend Patriarch of Aquileia (fn. 1), may possibly be interpreted in such wise as to prejudice our subjects and affairs. Tell him in reply that they knew nothing whatever of the Patriarch's coming, nor was there even the slightest understanding with them about sending him: but the Pope, to whom, and not to our Signory, prelates render obedience, makes use of them to suit his purpose, as in the present instance, the Patriarch Grimani being at the Court with his Holiness. Have chosen to tell him this for his instruction, so that if spoken to on the subject, or should he think fit to say anything about it, he may be able to do so in confirmation of the truth. It is their intention to proceed in such a manner that no one, and most especially crowned heads, may have this cause to complain of them. | |
