Containing an account of his parentage; his education; how he became an ecclesiastick, and by what surprising steps he arriv'd first to be a cardinal, and afterwards Pope. In which we have also (by pleasant digressions) a view of the transactions of the Romish Church; and particularly, their intrigues of chusing their popes; and of the most considerable affairs of Europe in that age.
