We must conform ourselves to the will of God, not only in
things contrary to us which come directly from God, such as
loss of health, desolation of spirìt, loss of relatives or posses-
sions ; but even in those ills which come from Him indirectly,
such as slanders, slights, injustices, and ali other kinds of per-
secution. And we should remember, that when we are injured
by any one, in our goods or our honour, that God does not will



202 ^xtpwcatiùn for 9eat||

the sin of him who injures us, but that He rightly wills our
poverty and our humiliation. It is certain that whatever hap-
pens, does so by the Divme will. " I forni the light, and create
darkness : I make peace, and create eviL" (Isa. xlv. 7.) The
Preacher had said before, " Prosperity and adversity, life and
death, poverty and riches, come of the Lord." (Ecclus. xi. 14.)
In short, ali things come from God, those that are good and
those that are evil.
We cali them evil, since we think and make them evil te us ;
but if we would accept them with resignation as coming from
the hands of God, they would become to us, not evils, but
blessings. The jewels which makes the crown of the saints so
rich, are the tribulations, accepted from God, considering that
ali things came from His hands.


**ROMANI_09_001 **
23  And  not  onlv  tlie^,  bui  our-
selvcs  also,  which  havc  the  first-
fruits  of  the  Spirit,  even  we  our-
selves  groan  within  ourselves.
waitinff  for  the  adoption,  to  wit,
the  reaemption  of  our  body.
24  For  we  are  saved  by  hope:
but  hope  that  is  seen  is  not  hope  :
for  what  a  man  seeth,  why  doth
he  yet  hope  for?

26  But  if  we  hope  for  that  we  see
not,  then  dowe  with  patience  wait
for  a.
26  Likewise  the  Spirit  also  help-
eth  our  infirmities  :  for  we  know
not  what  we  should  pray  for  as
we  ought:  but  the  Spirit  itaelf
maketh  intercession  for  us  with
groanings  which  cannot  be  ut-
tered.
27  And  he  that  searcheth  the
hearts  knoweth  what  is  the  mind
of  the  Spirit,  because  he  maketh
intercession  for  the  saints  accord-
ine to  the  toill  of  God.
28  And  we  know  that  ali  things
work  together  for  good  to  them
that  love  God,  to  them  who  are
the  called  according  to  his  pur-
pose.
29  For  whom  he  did  foreknow,
he  also  did  predestinate  io  be  con-
formed  to  the  image  of  his  Son,
that  he  might  be  the  firstborn
among  many  brethren.
80  Moreover,  *  whom  he  did  pre-
destinate, them  he  also  called  :  and
whom  he  called,  them  he  also  ius*
titìed  :  and  whom  he  justined,
them  he  also  gloritìed.
31  What  shall  we  then  say  to
these  things  ?  If  Qod  be  for  us,
who  ean  be  against  us  ?

32  He  that  spared  not  his  own
Son,  but  delivered  bim  up  for  us

The references provided span various historical texts, some of which pertain directly to Prosper Colonna and his role as a duke, while others discuss unrelated subjects. The most relevant references are **Columba_1516-1529** and **ROMANI_09_001**, which provide detailed information about Prosper Colonna's visits and his interactions with popes and dukes.

### Answer ###
In the early 16th century, Prosper Colonna played a significant role in the political landscape of Italy, particularly in relation to his ducal title and his interactions with the papacy. 

Prosper Colonna was a prominent figure who frequently appeared at papal audiences and held positions of honor. In 1516, he attended the anniversary of Pope Julius II, where he stood at a high elevation near the pope himself<ref name="Columba_1516-1529">"inanniversariisJulii II, Prosper Columna dux Trajecti comparuit infra missam, et Papa jussit eum poni ad dexleram suam subduce Bari, filio Mediolani ducis."</ref>. This indicates his rising status and the pope’s favor towards him.

In 1517, during Advent, Prosper Colonna again stood prominently at a high elevation beside the pope, demonstrating his continued significance<ref name="Columba_1516-1529">"dom. Adventus Prosper Columna stetit x? tt gradu solii sublimi apud Papam, sic Papa volente, et jubente."</ref>.

On May 15, 1517, the pope himself attended vespers where Prosper Colonna was present, showcasing the duke's influence and proximity to the highest echelons of power<ref name="Columba_1516-1529">"die penult. maii in vig. Pentecostes fuerunt vesperae Papa praesente, qui mihimandumavit, ut honorem d. Prosper de Columna ducem Trajecti."</ref>.

The following year, on December 26, 1521, Ascanius Colonna, Prosper's son, was officially named the duke, maintaining the family's prestigious standing<ref name="Columba_1516-1529">"Ex Diar, Blas. de Caesena sub Hadriani VI. die veneris 26 dec. in festo s. Stephani lil.mus d. Ascanius Columna, ut dux, habuit locum in solio Papae."</ref>.

Furthermore, it is noted that Prosper Colonna's influence extended beyond Rome. His position was recognized and honored even in far-flung regions, as evidenced by his mention alongside other notable figures in the Roman text<ref name="ROMANI_09_001">"Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God."</ref>.

Thus, Prosper Colonna's early 16th-century tenure as the Duke of Trajecti was marked by significant papal recognition and influence, solidifying his family's position in Italian politics during that period.
