page 49 note a Pole is said to have contracted his friendship with Priuli when they were fellow students in the university of Padua: and the Venetian was afterwards his constant attendant. “The senate of Venice having named him among four, out of whom Paul III, was to chose a successor to the Bishop of Brescia, the Pope nominated Priuli, with the greatest commendation of his virtue and abilities. But it was with extreme difficulty that his friends and relationa prevailed on him to accept this reversionary grant, lest the incumbent's death, who was very old, should oblige him to separate himself from the legate. (Poli Vita, p. 37.) Thuanus reports that he refused the purple for the same reason. He survived his illustrious friend only twenty months, which he employed in collecting his effects which were dispersed in various places, and disposing of them with a fidelity equal to the confidence reposed in him.” (Life of Reginald Pole, by Thomas Phillips, 4to. 1764, p. 212.) “All he would accept of so considerable an inheritance was two prayer-books, which the frequent use his friend had made of them had rendered valuable.” (Ibid. p. 211.)
