And he sent messengers unto Francis, and his ships remained [p] at Marseilles until they returned, and went unto their country. From Algiers, Haradin journeyed to Turkey; and Solyman received him with gladness, and made him chief of his host. 909. And Solyman promoted Ibrahim Pasha, the Grecian, the oppressor of the Jews, and advanced him above all the princes that were with him†. And he exalted himself in his heart, saying, "I will be king;" and he had dealings with the emperor, and secretly practised mischief against his master. And the thing was known§, and they told it unto the king after his return from the slaughter of the host of the Sofi; and when inquisition was made of the matter, it was found out¶. And the king was very wroth, and his anger burned within him**. And the king commanded on the fifteenth day of the month v'Adar two hundred and ninety-six, in the year one thousand five hundred and thirty-six, and they brought him down to the grave in blood. Then had the Jews light * Gen. xxi. 27. 1 Sam. xxiii. 9. ** Esth. i. 12. † Esth. iii. 1.

And they fought from heaven against him, so that he fell to the ground. The Lord is righteous§. 910. And Genoa rebelled against the duke of Savoy, and against the law of the pope. They turned also after Lutheranism, according as the men of Ivernah|| had done at that time, and they cast down the sanctuaries, where the priest burned incense, for their soul loathed that service¶, and the duke sent men against it to war. And they also gathered together soldiers; and the nobles of Ivernah and the king helped them; and they discomfited the men of the duke with the edge of the sword**; and they that remained returned into Italy with shame; and the king and the nobles of Ivernah took all the cities of the duke, which he had on the other side of the mountain in those days. 911. And the king gathered again a great host of horsemen and footmen; and he sent them into Italy in the month Abib. And his fear fell upon all the nations; all the inhabitants of the land melted away before him. And Monseigneur Danibott, *Esth. viii. 16. Judges v. 20.

And it came to pass, after some days, that they sent unto him. about eight thousand Germans to help him; and his host increased much. 912. From Turin the French went unto Vercelliş; and they drew back, for the pope sought to make peace by the hand of the cardinal Lorena||; but they tarried, and did nothing. And the generals of the imperial host went after them, and encamped near Turin. They went not far off from the city, and the river was between; and they remained there many days. 913. And when the emperor heard the report of Francis, the king, he journeyed also from Naples in the month Abib, and there gathered themselves unto him many nobles and honorable men¶; and they came unto the gates of Rome, and encamped .מונטייאן * Gen. xxxiv. 30. .Lorraine לורינה || .דורה + וירצילי $ Num. xxii. 15. 240 THE ORATION OF CHARLES. קג there. And it happened on the fifth day of the month of April, that they entered the city, and the earth was rent at the voice of the batteringrams. And they came into the street of the city*, and the pope Paul sat upon his throne on the pillar of the temple of their God. And the pope came down to meet him, and the emperor bowed before him, and was content to kiss his foot. And Paul bowed himself also unto the ground, and embraced him. And both of them came into the cathedral, and worshipped their God. And they came out, and went to the castle, and bowed one before the other, and retired to the chamber. And the emperor remained there several days. And it came to pass, one day, that the emperor spake a word unto the pope and his cardinals, saying, "Ye have seen that which I have done in Tunis, for I was envious at the foolish. And that the king has hindered me from still continuing in war against the enemies of our law, as it was in my heart. May the Lord judge between me and him this day§; and may the Lord give to every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.

And Paul and his cardinals honored him, and blessed him; and he went out from them in peace. 914. And he went on his journeys to Sienna, and entered the city on the twenty-third day of the second month, which is the month of April. And the nobles of the city honored him much; but he stayed not many days there*, but departed thence and went to Florence, on the twenty-eighth day of the same month; and the duke and the inhabitants of the city honored him much; and the earth shook at the voice of the battering-rams and of the high-sounding trumpets. And he journeyed thence, and went to Lucca; and the principal men of the city went out to meet him, and brought him into the city with gladness on the eighth day of the month of May; and all the people were very glad. 915. And Henry, the king of England, divorced his consort, Catharine of Aragon, and took Anna Boleyn to himself to wife. And it came to pass, when they were at Greenwicht, in the month of May, joyful and with glad hearts, that a spirit of jealousy came upon him§, and he hated her.
