84 III, II | together a great number of citizens to their hall to consult
85 III, II | they shut up the shops; the citizens fortified themselves in
86 III, II | S. Spirito, whither many citizens had taken their most valuable

100 III, III | the colleagues and those citizens who with the syndics of
101 III, IV | burned the houses of many citizens, selecting those whose owners
102 III, IV | excited their hatred. Many citizens, to avenge themselves for
103 III, IV | Medici and sixty-three other citizens were made knights, among
104 III, IV | other, soon withdrew. Of the citizens, on the other hand, some,
105 III, IV | Syndics of the trades and some citizens, had resolved to signify
106 III, IV | benefits upon many other citizens, friends of the plebeians;
107 III, IV | together a good number of citizens (for many began to see their

109 III, V | excessive violence against the citizens. And as among others, thus
110 III, V | guard the city. The arrested citizens were examined, and although
111 III, V | had once been, of all the citizens, the man most feared and
112 III, V | making a feast for many citizens, sent him a silver bowl
113 III, V | admonitions, or banishment of citizens; to which must be added,
114 III, V | They admonished thirty-nine citizens, ennobled many of the people,
115 III, V | an interview with certain citizens who were thought to be lovers

120 III, VI | not less injurious to the citizens, or less troublesome at
121 III, VI | limited time; and when the citizens elected had effected the
122 III, VI | a ballot-purse of select citizens, from which, in every Signory,
123 III, VII | armed force, called the citizens to a general assembly or
124 III, VII | from the tyranny of those citizens who were destroying the
125 III, VII | accompanied by a great number of citizens, to the piazza, and proceeded
126 III, VII | that what he and the other citizens might deem most advisable
127 III, VII | 2,000 of the most trusty citizens, who were divided equally
128 III, VII | include the restoration of the citizens. They, at his entreaty,
129 III, VII | this time many discontented citizens were at home, and others
130 III, VII | Balia was formed of many citizens, which sought the delinquents,
131 III, VII | accomplished more if the citizens had lived in unity, and
132 IV, I | fail to acquaint the other citizens with the matter, explaining
133 IV, I | signify his desires. Many citizens were opposed to his design,
134 IV, I | disturbed the minds of the citizens, and made them, apprehensive
135 IV, I | than that of dividing the citizens; one party, that in greatest
136 IV, I | Florentine territory, filled the citizens with apprehension; but what

140 IV, II | destroy the inclination of citizens to offer advice and speak
141 IV, II | enemies.~Thus encouraged, the citizens engaged Count Oddo the son
142 IV, II | They also appointed twenty citizens to levy new taxes, who finding
143 IV, II | with the blood and death of citizens. It began to be the impression
144 IV, II | things, many of the first citizens met together, and it was
145 IV, II | when upwards of seventy citizens assembled in the church
146 IV, II | with so much glory; the citizens would then be subject to
147 IV, III | of the Catasto—The rich citizens discontented with it—Peace
148 IV, III | from 1422 to 1427, and the citizens of Florence were so wearied
149 IV, III | would find plenty of loving citizens who would take pleasure
150 IV, III | necessity, but to impoverish the citizens. The excitement was appeased
151 IV, III | the means of uniting the citizens, not of dividing them; which
152 IV, III | troubles recommenced. The great citizens could not endure the Catasto,
153 IV, IV | where finding him with some citizens, they drew him aside, as
154 IV, IV | subject of war; for the same citizens and people that, during
155 IV, IV | secretly instigated the citizens to hostilities; and these
156 IV, IV | Council together, at which 498 citizens assembled, before whom the
157 IV, IV | bondage to one of her own citizens, had lost her natural vigor

164 IV, VI | partisans of all ranks of the citizens. This mode of proceeding
165 IV, VI | Nigi, two of our principal citizens, have never so fully declared
166 IV, VI | the city from any of her citizens usurping the sovereignty,
167 IV, VI | will of the many; for the citizens, some from ignorance and

194 V, VI | fruitless. Among the principal citizens was Bartolomeo di Senso,
195 V, VII | a prince in Germany, the citizens would be very much gratified;
196 V, VII | bestow upon her victorious citizens, and they were received
197 VI, II | not tranquil. Among the citizens of highest reputation in
198 VI, II | great suspicion in the other citizens, who, thinking it alike
199 VI, II | Orlandini was known to other citizens, so that they easily persuaded

204 VI, III | complied with it; for her citizens would have surrendered themselves
205 VI, IV | at Milan, it grieved the citizens more than the victory at
206 VI, IV | one of the most powerful citizens of Florence, thought it
207 VI, V | to Milan to confirm the citizens in their resolution of defense,
208 VI, V | the property of private citizens, but could not capture them.
209 VI, VII | sums were raised, and many citizens bore the mark of a red cross

213 VII, I | two principally powerful citizens, Cosmo de’ Medici and Neri
214 VII, I | small number of her own citizens. Luca Pitti, in return for
215 VII, I | rich presents, and all the citizens were emulous in imitation

218 VII, I | perceiving the rapacity of the citizens, even during the life of
219 VII, I | in the way of it.” Some citizens saying to him, after his
220 VII, I | Florence was ruined by her own citizens, and his fortune by his
221 VII, II | frequent intercourse with the citizens he had acquired many friends
222 VII, II | passed were filled with citizens, anxious to catch a glimpse
223 VII, II | persons, both foreigners and citizens; for Cosmo, to acquire partisans
224 VII, II | amounts to be recalled, the citizens, as if he had asked for
225 VII, II | the greater part of the citizens followed them, deceived
226 VII, II | festivals were over, the citizens reverted to the same thoughts
227 VII, II | s ruin, had induced many citizens to subscribe their names
228 VII, III | not only of distinguished citizens, but also of the populace,
229 VII, III | favor to either party. The citizens, especially those who had
230 VII, III | his friends. The principal citizens, the leaders of both factions,

232 VII, III | Rome, and to many other citizens who fled, various places
233 VII, III | it was ordered that the citizens should go in solemn procession
234 VII, III | where previously crowds of citizens had assembled. In the streets,
235 VII, III | in their treachery, many citizens had been seized, imprisoned,

239 VII, IV | to be divided among many citizens; not contented with having
240 VII, IV | misused it.” The reply of the citizens accorded with the time and
241 VII, IV | republic.~Among the principal citizens in the government of Florence,
242 VII, IV | city looked up to him; many citizens waited upon him at his own
243 VII, IV | communications, and told the citizens, it was not his house, but
244 VII, IV | proved to be; and before the citizens departed they swore to regard

256 VIII, I | in competition with other citizens, their claims to distinction,
257 VIII, I | usually observed toward great citizens, so that the Pazzi everywhere

259 VIII, II | lower floors, so that the citizens, who in the uproar, hastened
260 VIII, II | liberty were as dear to other citizens as to himself. Thus deprived
261 VIII, II | that they only wished the citizens to remove Lorenzo de’ Medici,
262 VIII, II | in Perugia; and that the citizens might feel the effect of
263 VIII, II | and the most influential citizens, in the palace, to whom,
264 VIII, II | signors, and you, magnificent citizens, I know not whether I have
265 VIII, II | part. Think, magnificent citizens, to what a dreadful point
266 VIII, II | unfairly to any of your citizens; and such a supposition,
267 VIII, II | While Lorenzo spoke, the citizens were unable to refrain from
268 VIII, III | having failed to murder the citizens, change the government,
269 VIII, IV | greater horror; for those citizens whose possessions lay in
270 VIII, IV | they had endured; and the citizens openly laid the blame upon
271 VIII, IV | presenting himself before the citizens, the impressions he had
272 VIII, IV | formed a council of seventy citizens, in whom the principal authority
273 VIII, IV | detained by discords among the citizens, which, he said, had risen

276 VIII, V | roused the indignation of the citizens, that many offered their
277 VIII, V | consternation, and roused the citizens in arms; but eventually
278 VIII, VI | Hence the affections of the citizens are transferred from the
