l68 HISTORY OF THE POPES. salvation. With crucifix in hand, the Duke prepared his two companions for their fate, addressing such beautiful Christian words to them that it seemed as if he were only fulfilling the office of a consoler, and not himself about to be executed.^ One cannot but read the letters which Carafa addressed in his last hours to his sister and his only son, Diomede, \\ith deep emotion. " Praised be the name of Oiur Lord, Jesus Christ, for all eternity," he sa\^s in the letter to his son. " This paper contains, I beheve, the last words and ad\ice I shall be able to address to you in this fife ; I pra}' God that the}' may be such as a father should address to his only son. As the first and most necessar}- thing, I must bring to your recollection that in all your dealings and inclinations you must prove yourself a true servant of God, and show that you love His Di\-ine Majesty far above 3'ourself, and set aside your own pleasure, satisfaction and ^^ill, in order not to offend your Creator and Redeemer, even though you were promised worldl}^ greatness, honour and happiness. If 5-ou follow this good and necessar}- rule of conduct, evers-thing else that you do %%dU be weU and honourably accompHshed. As you must be faithful, after God, to the prince whom He has set over us, then serve the Majesty of the Cathohc King, as becomes a true and honourable Christian knight . Flee from sin as it engenders death ; choose rather to die than imperil j'oiir soul ; be the enemy of vice ; seek after honourable and pious company ; go often to confession ; receive frequently the holy sacraments, which are the medicine of the soul, destro}' sin, and preserve man in the grace of God ; have compassion on the miser}- of others ; practise works of piety, and flee from idleness, and from conversations and pursuits which are not fitting for you ; take pains to acquire some knowledge of science and letters, for these are very necessary- for a true nobleman, especially for one who has power and vassals, as well as to be able to enjoy the sweet fruits of the Holy Scriptures, which are so precious for both soul and body. If 3'ou savour such fruits, ^ Cf. the report of Tiepolo, loc. cit., in which, however, the date is ^Tons;.
LETTER OF GIOVANNI CARAFA. 169 then you will despise the things of this sorrowful world, and find no small consolation in the present life. I wish you to show indomitable courage at my death, not behaving like a chUd, but as a reasonable man, and not listening to the promptings of the flesh, or to the love of your father, or to the talk of the world. For your consolation, ponder well the fact that whatever happens is ordained by the decrees of the great God, Who rules the universe with infinite wisdom, and, as it appears to me, shows me great mercy by taking me hence in this manner, rather than in any other way, for which I always thank Him, as you also must do. May it only please Him to exchange this my life for that other, the false and deceitful for the true. Do not be troubled by whatever people may say or write ; say to everyone : My father is dead, because God has shown him great grace, and I hope He has saved him, and granted him a better existence. Therewith I die, but you shall live, and bear no one ill-will of my death. "^ While Giovanni Carafa was writing these lines, the Captain of the mihtary police, Gasparino de Mehs, proceeded to the prison of Cardinal Carafa in the Castle of St. Angelo.^ When ^ The letter of the Duke of Paliano to his son is printed in Cacciaguerra, Epist. spirit. ( /. Novaes, VII., 148), again in Phil. Honorii Thesaur. poli., II., 137, and finally in the Arch, stor. Ital., XII., 458 seq. (trans, by Reumont, Carafa, I., 233 seq., and Beitrage, I., 505 seq.), the letter to his sister, the Marchesa di Polignano, in Fr. Cristofori, II pontificato di Paolo IV. (Miscall. Rom., 2, Ser. i, 1888), 131. Both letters had already been published in a French translation in a rare pamphlet Sentence pYononcee contre le card. Carafa etc., Lyons, 1561. The letter to his son also appeared in a German pamphlet (Abdruck des Herzogen von Paliano schreybens, etc., .s. /. 1561) and was widely read ; see Kluckhohn, Briefe, L, 175. * The execution of Carafa is described in various, for the most part anonymous accounts, in Italian and Spanish. These accounts which agree in essential points, but differ in details, are very often to be found in the collections of manuscripts of the XVIth century ; in the Vatican Library, Cod. Ottob., 2241, p. 262 seq., and Urb. 1670, p. 92 seq. : in the Corsini Library, 44—B— 13, p. 355 seq. ; in the Casanate Library, E. III., 30 (see GoRi, Archivio, II., 302) ;
