brethren, to add to the senate of the Holy
Roman church for the glory of God and the
utility of the church six more distinguished
men whose names are known to you, who
have shown themselves worthy OF high honor
by the discharge OF the Episcopal functions
with zeal, fortitude, prudence and learning,
or by bearing cruel prosecutions with cour-
age and constancy. We intend to create five
other Cardinals. If, in the dispensation of
God, this Holy See should become vacant be-
fore their names are divulged, they will be
declared in a codicil attached TO our will.
We decree by Apostolic authority that they
may have the right of an active or passive
participation i'm the act of choosing our sue
cessor. The five Cardinals reserved in petto
are as follows: Monsignors Pacco, Viteleschi
Randi, Ninno Gimione and Antiel Matter.
