et nisi me immerito queri iudicaretis, dicere auderem tam praecipitis animi esse plerosque tamque periculosi, ut sacrosanctam sedem dignitatemque affectare pretio oblato non reformident, remque iam dudum in nundinam mitti auctionemque potuisse, si quam paratus invenitur emptor, venditor tam desperatus inveniretur.
Indeed, were it not that you would think my complaint unfounded, I should dare to say that a great many of them are in such a reckless and dangerous temper that they would not shrink from offering bribes to secure the sacred see and the position that goes with it, and the prize might before now have been put up for auction in the open market if there had existed as conscienceless a seller as there does exist a willing buyer.
