Excerpt from The History of Italy, Vol. 7 of 20: Written in Italian in Twenty Books

Occasion, and the Election of Charles V. The Beginning and Progress of Luther's Heresy. Causes of War between the Emperor and King of France. Tumults in Spain.

It was expected, after C?sar and the Venetians had laid down their Arms, and all Occasions for a War of the King of France against C?sar and the Catholic King were removed, that Italy, which had been afficted and broken by such a Multitude of Calamities, would have enjoyed Rest for some Years; and more especially since the Swiss, who are a powerful Instrument in the Hands of one who delights in Broils and Disturbances, appeared to be reconciled and to have renewed their antient Friendship with the King of France, without lessening on that Account their Attachments to the other Princes.
