' In fact, a notification had been sent to the Pope that the Nuncio in future would be treated as any other ambassador, and the large re- venue drawn by the Papacy from Spain would be in future taken by the King. Upon this the Nuncio was withdrawn, and much trouble ensued.
OLIVARES' DIFFICULTIES 265 libels and foolish inventions of the people against the Conde, you would never desire to be a favourite." ^ Thus affairs in the capital went from bad to worse. Fanaticism spent itself upon the loan-... mongers, mostly Genoese and Jews with Portuguese names, who served Olivares in extremity, and riiany of them, and the richest, fell into the hands of the Inquisition. There were frequent hints, uttered beneath bated breath, that if all men had their due Olivares himself would be burnt in a sambenito outside the gate of Fuencarral, for he had risen by the devilish arts of sorcery, and kept the King in his power by witchcraft.^ Enormous difficulty was experienced in levying troops for the war, for the country was half depopulated, and many able-bodied men fled : the old spirit of confidence in a sacred mission was gone, and they had now no stomach for a fight provoked by the King's favourite.
