text_original: Both men emphatically " fought for their own hands " ; both were more intent on massing great countries under their sway than on really assimilating the possessions which they had already acquired ; both in different ways made, or tried to make, the Catholic Church an instrument of their ambition ; and both seem to have looked upon Europe, or so much of it as they could acquire, as a big estate to be divided among their children or relations.
