32 II, VIII| those citizens whom they thought most attached to their country
33 II, VIII| danger he might incur, he thought nothing of it; for it was

35 II, I | order of battle, the people thought it imprudent to defer the
36 III, I | against each other, and each thought to obtain the sovereignty
37 III, I | their own ambition, we have thought that as those who assemble
38 III, I | our city prove. Everyone thought that when the Ghibellines

40 III, I | circumstances. These citizens thought rather of extinguishing
41 III, II | presented itself, it was thought that recourse must be had
42 III, II | Albizzi, on the other hand, thought it better to defer, since
43 III, II | either undeserving, or others thought him so, and would therefore

49 III, V | certain citizens who were thought to be lovers of the common
50 III, VI | friends of the plebeians, and thought he had not consented to
51 III, VI | the government, for they thought it would strengthen Benedetto’
52 III, VII | of Jacopo Acciajuoli, who thought of great authority, and
53 III, VII | those of his friends were thought sufficient to make him faithful;
54 III, VII | admonished, was Antonio, who was thought to be quiet and peaceable.
55 IV, I | advocated peace; for they thought Brescia would be defended
56 IV, I | he had done that could be thought a ground of jealousy. This
57 IV, I | suspicions of an ally, and thought his proceedings need not
58 IV, II | to pay them or not, as he thought proper, and that at the
59 IV, III | unwilling to join them, thought it would be advisable to
60 IV, III | by their frequent losses, thought themselves unable to sustain
61 IV, III | far to trust him; for they thought his enmity with the duke
62 IV, III | their cause; so that they thought it no longer safe to trust
63 IV, IV | himself and his forces. Some thought that while Rinaldo conducted
64 IV, IV | Rinaldo, either because he thought the enterprise beneficial
65 IV, IV | was spared, and as Pagolo thought the forgiveness mutual,
66 IV, IV | advantage of Florence. He thought that what could not easily
67 IV, V | have accused ourselves, and thought that either our mismanagement

69 IV, VI | briefly replied, that he thought it necessary to act exactly
70 IV, VII | nearly over, Cosmo, who thought he might turn this visit
71 IV, VII | themselves with friends. Many thought this course safe and requisite;
72 IV, VII | their conclusion; that he thought the fear of external wars (
73 IV, VII | After this citation, Rinaldo thought further delay would be dangerous:
74 IV, VII | possessed; and that if he thought this abominable conduct
75 IV, VII | coming to his knowledge, he thought it a duty suitable to his
76 IV, VII | myself principally for having thought that you, who were expelled
77 V, I | themselves against such as thought proper to assail them, or
78 V, I | perplexed the count, who thought he had lost all his territories;
79 V, II | jealous of the duke’s power, thought it would give him a great
80 V, II | bravery in the action, he thought he had again merited so
81 V, II | liberation of the king, he thought the moment propitious for
82 V, II | citizens, Francesco Spinola thought further delay improper;
83 V, III | needful.” The Florentines thought the war ought to be pushed
84 V, III | refused to cross the Po, thought that by this means he might
85 V, III | be solemnized whenever he thought proper. The prospect of
86 V, III | that of the Italians, and thought themselves able at all events
87 V, IV | was obvious, still it was thought that the pontiff, from necessity,
88 V, IV | portion of his territories. He thought, however, that he should
89 V, IV | Florentines believed him, but thought, with reason, that these
90 V, IV | that he was deceived if he thought the duke, while fortune,

94 V, V | of this, the government thought it would be advisable to
95 V, VI | more at Florence; for they thought that with the aid of the
96 V, VI | bravery of its commander, thought the cowardice of the officer
97 V, VI | composure prevailed in the city, thought he was wasting time, and
98 VI, I | from the evils of war, and thought no more of peace. This was
99 VI, I | neighborhood, from the count; and thought he might easily accomplish
100 VI, II | he had always been, many thought they would follow him wherever
101 VI, II | matter becoming known, he thought it ought neither to be despised
102 VI, II | desired his ruin; for they thought Lombardy could not be taken
103 VI, III | to attack them; and they thought it would be dangerous to
104 VI, III | he had in view; but they thought it desirable to conceal
105 VI, IV | perfectly aware of this, thought it not imprudent, supposing
106 VI, IV | Venetians having taken Crema, thought they need no longer hesitate
107 VI, IV | powerful citizens of Florence, thought it not to the advantage
108 VI, V | motive, which it was not thought proper to disclose. Be this
109 VI, V | having arrived, the Venetians thought it not desirable to defer
110 VI, VI | something worthy of memory, and thought he could not do better than
111 VI, VI | divine and prophetic spirit, thought the event must take place
112 VI, VI | that no such treacherous thought had ever entered his mind,
113 VI, VI | attempting anything, the duke thought of taking the field, on
114 VI, VI | from him. The Venetians thought themselves entitled to Cremona
115 VI, VII | awe into all, that it was thought the end of the world had
116 VI, VII | his castle of Riviera, and thought he had not been rewarded
117 VII, I | him adopt what course he thought proper, that if any trouble
118 VII, I | the government, and they thought he would be compelled to
119 VII, I | peace upon any terms it was thought proper to grant. Whatever
120 VII, II | allied by marriage, they thought they might so confirm their
121 VII, II | what he had himself done, thought he could neither enjoy his
122 VII, II | witnessing a universal peace, thought it a suitable opportunity
123 VII, II | Piero or gratitude to Cosmo, thought he might without difficulty

125 VII, II | the head of a government, thought that of necessity on Piero’
126 VII, II | her husband or not. Agnolo thought Cosmo had not, in this instance,
127 VII, II | leaders of the sedition thought they had the victory in
128 VII, II | was extremely offensive, thought it would be well to endeavor
129 VII, II | method of proceeding; they thought delay would be favorable
130 VII, III | authority of Niccolo, and thought they would be in time enough
131 VII, III | for he perceived that they thought it impossible to remain
132 VII, IV | following words: “I never thought a time would come when the
133 VII, V | not fertile in expedients, thought the advice good, and commanded

136 VII, V | given, asked him what he thought of the taking of Volterra;
137 VII, VI | king to join them if they thought proper, the two latter also
138 VII, VI | Federigo complied; for they thought the same fate awaited him
139 VII, VI | ministers of state, and they thought the people, on account of
140 VIII, I | friends at Rome, it was thought he desired the sanction
141 VIII, I | to forego the journey, he thought that both the brothers might
142 VIII, I | design having failed, they thought that if asked to an entertainment
143 VIII, III | broke forth, and it was thought that if they remained long

145 VIII, IV | such arrangements as he thought most useful for the republic.~
146 VIII, IV | offended the Signory, for they thought the whole had been concerted
147 VIII, IV | transported with rage; the pope thought himself neglected by the
148 VIII, V | become lords of Ferrara, and thought they were justified by circumstances
149 VIII, V | quite a boy, his holiness thought might be easily won; and
150 VIII, V | Venetians to join them if they thought proper. When this was accomplished,

153 VIII, VI | miles; for their generals thought that they would retire to
154 VIII, VI | leaders of the expedition thought it unadvisable to make any
