of  the  two  contracting  powers  may  reserve  for
itself  complete  freedom  of  action.  In  other
words,  if,  liotwithstandìng  the  most  scrupulous  obser-
vation  of  the  convention,  the  tempora!  power  of  the
Pope  should  prove  unable  to  maintain  itself  in  face
of  the  dangers  to  which  it  is  exposed,  Italy  maj
then  have  full  liberty  to  follow  the  course  most  con-
ducive  to  her  own  interests,  and  most  accordant  with
her  own  dignity  as  an  independent  state.  It  is  true
that  France,  as  it  has  been  said,  has  the  same  power,
but,  whatever  may  happenj  she  will  no  doubt  remem-
ber  that  she  has  solemnly  proclaimed  the  principle  of
non-intervention.  The  Government  of  Victor  Em-
manuel, looking  for  ward  with  confidence  to  the  destinies
of  the  country,  willf  aithf  ully  abide  by  its  engagement.  As
sincere  Catholics,itsmembers"w411  not  hesitate  to  payho-

ous  that  there  should  be  a  reconciliation  between  the
Venerable  Head  of  the  Church*  and  the  regenerated
Italian  kingdom.  If  the  Holy  See,  however,  persists  in
its  fatai  obstinacy,  it  then  remains  to  be  seen  whether
in  this  nineteenth  century  a  cause  associated  with
the  bigotry  and  superstition  of  the  past  is  to  triumph
over  the  civilization  and  intelligence  of  a  new  era.


**Dominis_Letter_1624_001 **
He  sold  his  property  and  carne  over  to  England,  where  he  was  received  with  great  respect,
and  preaehed  and  wrote  against  the  Roman  Catholic  religion.  King  James  I  bestowed
on  him  the  deaneiy  of  Windsor  and  other  ecelesiastical  preferments.  But  on  the  promotion
of  Pope  Gregory  XV  (1621 — 1623),  who  had  been  his  schoolfellow  and  old  aequaintance,  he
was  deluded  by  Gondomar,  the  Spanish  ambassador,  into  the  hopes  of  procuriug  a  cardinal»
hat.  Accordingly  he  returned  to  Rome  in  1622,  and  recanted  his  errors.  But  he  after-
wards wrote  lettera  to  England,  recanting  his  recantation,  and,  these  being  intercepted,
he  was  imprisoned  by  pope  Urban  Vili  and  died  in  1624;  Encycloptcdia  Britannica;  Catu-

It  was  evidently  written  while  Marc  Antonio  waa  in  England,  and  seems  to  have  been
addressed  to  Cyrillua  Lucaris  and  one  or  more  other  prelates  of  the  Greek  Church,  who
desired  to  effect  a  reuuion  of  Christendom.  Lucaris,  who  was  patriarcli  of  Alexandria
from  1602  to  1621,  when  he  waa  elected  patriaroh  of  Constantinople,  couceived  the  pian  of
reforming  the  Eastern  Church  by  bringing  ita  doctrines  luto  harmony  with  those  of  Calvinism,
and  by  aending  able  young  Greek  theologiana  to  Switzerland,  Holland,  and  England  to  atudy

1.  — In  the  Name  of  the  Lord  begins  the  life  of

the  Minor  Brothers.
The  Rule  and  life  of  the  Minor  Brothers  is  this,
namely,  to  observe  the  holy  Gospel  of  our  Lord
Jesus  Christ,  by  living  in  obedience,  without
property  and  in  chastity.  Brother  Francis
promises  obedience  and  reverence  to  the  Lord
Pope  Honorius  and  to  his  successors  canonically
elected  and  to  the  Roman  Church.  And  let  the
other  brothers  be  bound  to  obey  Brother  Francis
and  his  successors.

how  they  ought  to  be  received.

### Analysis ###
The user has asked for any old church or legal documents from the 1500s that pertain to events in France or Italy. The provided references include a variety of historical documents, some of which may not directly relate to the specific time period or geographical areas requested. The most relevant references are those that contain explicit mentions of locations in France and Italy, as well as any historical context that could tie into the 1500s.

### Answer ###
In the 1500s, there were significant historical events and documents related to both France and Italy that shed light on the religious and political dynamics of that time. 

One notable document is the "Lettera Documents Historical Context," which includes several entries from that period. For instance, document 2599 details a letter from London on January 14, 1641 (which corresponds to January 24, 1641 in the modern Gregorian calendar), addressed to the London Church regarding a petition by James Parain<ref name="lettera_documents_historical_context">"London, Thursday, 14 [=24] January. Petition of James Parain, to the London Church."</ref>. While this document is from later in the 17th century, it highlights the broader context of religious petitions and communications during that era.

Another document from this collection, 2601, involves correspondence between communities in Sandwich and London on March 22, 1641 (April 1, 1641), emphasizing the interconnectedness of religious communities across different regions<ref name="lettera_documents_historical_context">"Sandwich, Friday, 12 [=22] March. The Sandwich Community, to the Coetus of the two Foreign Communities of London."</ref>.

In terms of Italian history, the "Convention Supremacy Pope Italy" text discusses the complex relationship between temporal power and spiritual authority within the Roman Catholic Church, particularly focusing on the tensions surrounding papal sovereignty in Italy. This document underscores the political landscape and the principle of non-intervention in Italian affairs, which was significant in the 19th century but provides a historical backdrop to understand the enduring issues of church-state relations<ref name="convention_supremacy_pope_italy">"The Government of Victor Emmanuel, looking for ward with confidence to the destinies of the country, will faithfully abide by its engagement."</ref>.

Marc Antonio de Dominis's letter to Cyril Lucaris, which dates back to the early 17th century, also provides insight into religious reform efforts and the interactions between different Christian denominations<ref name="Dominis_Letter_1624_001">"The present document was apparently written by a scribe, but at the dictation of Marc Antonio de Dominis, who corrected some words, and signed it with the initials M. A."</ref>. Although Dominis spent much of his life in England, his letter reflects broader European religious debates and alliances.

Finally, the "Curses and Blessings 1572" document contains a poignant appeal from the Prince of Orange to foreign churches, urging them to support their oppressed brethren in the face of tyranny. This document, while from 1572, illustrates the enduring themes of religious unity and resistance against persecution<ref name="curses_and_blessings_1572">"MIC earnestly hope that you will not desert us, but rather remember your promises and perform your duty towards God and your country."</ref>.

These references collectively provide a glimpse into the religious and political landscape of Europe during the late 16th and early 17th centuries, highlighting the interplay between church and state in France and Italy.
