The life of Sixtus Quintus, pope of Rome in the reign of Queen Elizabeth : 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 Romish church; and particularly, their intrigues of chusing their popes; and of the most considerable affairs of Europe in that age. An history very diverting and entertaining /
