racted

Name of URBAN VIII. as was ſaid before; with the
above-named
Monſignore Corſini Superintendant of the General
Draines
: with Monſignore Piccolomini Arch-Biſhop of Siena:
with
Cardinal Serra: with Cardinal Caponi, who hath ſtudied
much
and writ well upon this Subject; and with Cardinal Gae­
tano
who frequently conſulted with him in his deſign of Drain­
ing
the Fenns of ROMAGNA. Moreover Prince LEO­
POLDO
, and his Brother the Grand Duke had very great
kindneſſe
for him; which ſpeaks no ſmall attractions in him,
conſidering
him as a favourite of the Family of Barberini, be­
tween

Fewd
.
