And it is seen that his foundations were good, for the Romagna awaited him for more than a month. In Rome, although but half alive, he remained secure; and whilst the Baglioni, the Vitelli, and the Orsini might come to Rome, they could not effect anything against him. If he could not have made Pope him whom he wished, at least the one whom he did not wish would not have been elected.
E ch'e' fondamenti sua fussino buoni, si vidde: ché la Romagna l’aspettò più d’uno mese; in Roma, ancora che mezzo vivo, stette sicuro; e benché Ballioni, Vitelli et Orsini venissino in Roma, non ebbono séguito contro di lui: possé fare, se non chi e' volle papa, almeno che non fussi chi non voleva.
