For whenever these factions have their cardinals they do not remain quiet for long, because cardinals foster the factions in Rome and out of it, and the barons are compelled to support them, and thus from the ambitions of prelates arise disorders and tumults among the barons.
Né mai staranno quiete queste parti, qualunque volta abbino cardinali, perché questi nutriscono, in Roma e fuora, le parti, e quelli baroni sono forzati a defenderle: e cosí dalla ambizione de' prelati nascono le discordie e li tumulti infra e' baroni.
