A
FAITHFVL
ADVERTISEMENT
OF
SEGNIOR
VASCO
FIGVEIRO
A
GENTLEMAN
OF
Portingale
unto
the
rebellious
French
.
IF
the
Gréek
Achamenides
shewed
himself
so
carefull
for
the
safetie
of
the
Troians
his
sworn
enemies
,
that
after
hauing
discoursed
of
the
horrible
cruelties
,
that
the
Prince
Vlysses
and
his
people
had
receiued
by
the
hand
and
tooth
of
the
cruel
Antropophage
Poliphemus
,
he
admonished
them
to
fly
with
diligence
from
the
Sicilian
shore
,
the
repaire
of
that
inhumane
Cyclops
.
It
séemeth
vnto
me
,
by
a
more
forcible
reason
,
as
well
for
the
auncient
alliance
which
our
nation
hath
had
with
the
French
,
as
also
hauing
bene
disciplined
in
a
better
schoole
,
then
that
of
this
barbareus
infidell
:
that
I
am
obliged
,
by
the
lawes
both
diuine
and
humane
,
to
demonstrate
vnto
you
,
so
much
as
in
me
lyeth
,
the
good
affection
which
I
beare
vnto
you
.
Then
(
Sirs
)
being
induced
by
this
example
,
and
many
other
good
reasons
,
knowing
by
experience
,
the
tyrannicall
and
barbarous
gouernment
of
Philip
king
of
Spaine
,
the
vniust
vsurper
of
our
kingdome
of
Portingale
.
And
séeing
you
Frenchmen
(
I
speake
to
the
ignorant
,
and
those
which
are
gone
astray
)
are
come
like
the
Troians
to
the
Sicilian
shore
,
to
cast
the
anchor
of
your
turbulent
rebellions
,
and
indiscréete
affections
,
still
longing
for
noueltie
,
in
the
daungerous
and
vnassured
port
of
the
inexorable
ambition
of
this
Philip.
My
desire
is
to
aduertise
you
as
a
good
neighbour
&
charitable
friend
,
to
weigh
your
anchors
spéedily
from
this
port
,
making
sayle
to
the
shore
from
whence
you
haue
strayed
:
that
is
,
to
returne
to
the
dutie
of
true
and
naturall
Frenchmen
,
which
the
impetuous
wind
of
a
temerarie
sedition
hath
caused
you
to
abandon
,
and
so
to
cast
your selues
foolishly
into
the
hands
of
a
forraine
Prince
,
which
can
not
tend
but
to
the
euident
ruine
of
your
libertie
.
For
this
is
he
(
who
like
that
infamous
Polyphemus
,
which
acknowledged
no
other
God
but
his
belly
)
so
he
may
féed
his
own
insatiable
ambition
,
careth
not
with
what
garbage
soeuer
it
be
:
&
therfore
maketh
no
conscience
wickedly
to
violate
,
euen
the
law
of
God
it selfe
.
Now
as
this
miserable
Achamenides
made
vnto
the
Troians
,
a
long
narration
,
of
the
inhumanities
of
Polyphemus
,
before
he
exhorted
them
to
flie
,
that
he
might
not
séeme
to
amase
them
,
without
iust
occasion
:
so
am
not
I
ignorant
,
that
I
ought
by
the
same
example
,
to
recount
in
what
maner
Philip
vsurped
our
realme
,
and
with
what
rigor
he
hath
sithens
managed
his
tyrannicall
gouernment
,
lest
I
should
be
thought
to
build
my
discourse
vpon
the
wind
,
and
induce
you
to
auoyd
shipwracke
,
without
yéelding
example
,
or
pertinent
reason
.
I
could
spend
the
time
in
recounting
particularities
,
were
it
not
that
they
are
so
manifest
to
the
world
,
that
it
were
but
lost
labour
to
rehearse
them
.
Notwithstanding
to
satisfie
those
,
which
for
curst
heart
will
yet
stand
in
doubt
,
I
will
speake
a
word
or
two
,
and
so
away
.
It
is
knowne
vnto
all
men
,
that
the
king
Henrie
,
who
before
was
Cardinall
,
the
predecessor
of
Don
Anthonio
our
naturall
and
legitimate
king
▪
in
the
assemblie
of
the
estates
of
his
realme
,
established
fiue
gouernors
for
the
administration
of
the
said
Realme
after
his
death
,
vntill
Don
Anthonio
made
manifest
the
right
which
he
pretended
to
the
crowne
:
ordaining
that
the
other
competitors
should
not
in
the
mean
time
attempt
any
thing
vpon
the
said
Realme
,
vpon
paine
,
of
repelling
their
pretensions
.
But
while
these
things
were
in
doing
,
Philip
hauing
corrupted
by
rewards
and
promises
,
thrée
of
the
said
gouernours
,
and
manie
of
the
nobilitie
,
directly
contrarie
to
this
ordinaunce
of
the
sayd
Henrie
and
the
states
,
entred
the
said
Realme
by
force
of
armes
,
and
seased
him selfe
of
some
especiall
places
.
Which
the
people
and
states
perceiuing
,
without
any
delay
,
because
periculum
erat
in
meum
,
acknowledged
incontinently
Don
Anthonio
for
their
soueraigne
,
beséeching
and
vrgently
pressing
him
,
to
take
vpon
him
,
the
title
and
qualitie
of
king
,
which
after
many
refusals
,
he
condiscended
vnto
.
In
such
sort
,
that
he
was
established
king
,
with
all
the
solemnities
thereunto
required
,
and
sithens
being
assisted
by
part
of
his
good
subiects
,
he
came
in
battell
against
the
said
Philip
,
vnto
whom
the
fortune
of
warre
gaue
the
victorie
:
in
such
sort
,
that
our
said
Don
Anthonio
was
forced
(
hauing
escaped
infinite
dangers
of
death
,
by
the
ambushes
which
were
layd
for
him
by
the
tyranny
of
Philip
)
to
retire
him selfe
into
France
,
and
afterward
into
England
.
The
said
Philip
being
come
to
the
top
of
this
tyrannous
vsurpation
,
hath
pardoned
neither
great
nor
litle
,
neither
anie
sexe
or
qualitie
,
that
he
knewe
had
bene
,
or
might
hereafter
oppose
them selues
to
his
tyrannie
.
The
Princes
,
Lords
,
Gentlemen
,
gouernours
,
captaines
,
officers
,
Ladies
:
both
the
secular
and
regular
,
the
priests
and
religious
,
partly
killed
in
diuerse
maners
,
partly
detained
in
perpetuall
prison
,
partly
banished
the
Realme
,
part
chained
in
galleys
,
and
part
vagabonds
wandering
in
the
forrests
,
and
hiding
themselues
in
dens
,
for
feare
lest
they
should
fall
into
the
hands
of
these
mercilesse
hangmen
,
do
sufficiently
testifie
his
cruel
and
sanguinarie
ambition
.
I
will
content
my selfe
with
naming
of
some
few
hereafter
,
referring
them
which
would
know
farther
,
to
the
copie
of
an
Epistle
written
by
our
king
to
Pope
Gregorie
the
thirtéenth
,
albeit
that
was
but
in
the
beginning
of
our
miseries
and
slaughters
,
which
are
sithens
so
multiplied
,
that
the
number
is
now
infinite
.
The
Spaniard
séeing
him self
enriched
with
the
spoiles
of
our
king
,
contenting
not
him self
with
this
pray
,
imagined
it
should
serue
but
as
a
ladder
,
to
mount
vp
to
the
top
of
an
absolute
monarchy
.
And
being
drunke
with
the
greatnesse
of
this
happy
successe
,
he
began
to
plot
higher
attemps
in
his
spirit
,
as
ambition
neuer
wanteth
matter
,
proposing
France
for
the
marke
of
his
other
enterprises
,
but
knowing
well
that
he
might
not
attempt
openly
,
and
that
herein
force
of
armes
might
turne
rather
to
his
dammage
then
profite
,
he
resolued
to
follow
the
aduise
of
Lisander
,
namely
,
where
the
lyons
skin
is
not
strong
enough
,
to
patch
it
with
a
péece
of
the
fores
.
But
then
he
imagined
,
that
nothing
could
more
securely
,
and
more
soone
eleuate
him
to
the
top
of
this
greatnesse
,
then
a
forcible
ladder
of
gold
,
vnderpropped
with
a
more
then
Punicke
subtilty
,
and
masked
with
a
false
semblance
of
integritie
.
Likewise
séeing
that
he
had
principally
two
great
obstacles
in
France
,
namely
the
late
king
,
and
Monsieur
his
brother
:
he
deliberated
to
remooue
the
lesser
.
And
to
come
to
the
point
of
this
enterprise
,
knowing
the
naturall
auarice
and
ambition
of
the
Dukes
of
Guise
and
Maine
,
(
who
following
the
trace
and
instruction
of
their
father
,
and
their
vncle
the
Cardinall
,
pretended
to
enrich
their
Bonnet
,
with
the
thrée
floure
deluces
:
and
if
not
of
all
three
,
yet
at
least
of
a
part
)
he
easily
corrupted
them
with
rewardes
and
promises
:
in
so
much
that
shortly
they
accorded
vpon
the
death
of
Monsieur
,
either
by
poyson
,
or
otherwise
,
and
that
by
a
Gentleman
of
his
own
traine
named
Salsede
,
who
being
attainted
,
and
conuicted
of
the
said
enterprise
,
was
drawne
in
péeces
with
horses
in
the
citie
of
Paris
,
hauing
first
discouered
and
accused
those
which
had
practised
with
him
.
But
your
king
,
who
ought
according
to
the
enormitie
,
&
importance
of
the
cause
,
to
haue
made
exact
search
,
&
iustice
vpon
the
culpable
,
ouer
whom
at
that
time
he
had
sufficient
puissance
,
caried
not
him selfe
toward
the
truth
,
with
that
diligence
that
the
importaunce
of
the
cause
did
merit
.
Et
haec
prima
mali
labes
.
For
he
knowing
the
humour
of
the
abouesaid
,
he
ought
infallibly
to
haue
held
them
suspect
of
great
mischiefes
in
his
Realme
.
For
all
this
the
Spaniard
altered
not
his
enterprises
,
but
contrarily
continuing
,
and
more
and
more
augmenting
the
pensions
of
his
two
partakers
,
practised
euery
day
new
matters
.
Finally
a
few
yeares
after
he
obtained
that
which
he
had
long
expected
:
for
lo
,
Monsieur
.
being
made
away
,
not
without
euident
suspition
of
poison
,
&
now
the
Spanish
king
not
being
able
any
longer
to
containe
the
heat
of
his
ambition
enclosed
,
or
hidden
,
shewed
himself
so
amorous
of
France
,
that
without
ceassing
he
cheared
&
courted
it
,
solliciting
continually
his
partakers
to
venter
:
and
briefly
,
leauing
nothing
vndone
,
which
he
thought
might
conduct
him
to
the
port
of
his
desires
,
which
being
not
able
to
reach
vnto
,
it
hammered
his
head
,
&
gnawed
his
inwards
with
a
tedious
torment
.
Suppressing
his
passions
,
as
impatient
,
that
his
partakers
could
not
withdraw
or
diswade
her
from
her
fidelitie
:
he
had
recourse
vnto
that
remedie
which
customablie
foolish
and
desperate
louers
vse
,
namely
some
fine
Dariolette
or
Magician
:
and
indéed
he
searched
so
much
and
so
curiously
,
that
at
last
he
recountred
with
a
mischieuous
and
craftie
harlot
,
not
ignorant
in
Magicke
,
who
had
bene
engendred
,
nourished
,
brought
vp
and
entertained
in
the
proud
and
magnificke
Pallaces
of
Rome
:
whom
hauing
furnished
in
abundance
,
with
all
that
was
requisite
for
her
affaires
,
recommending
vnto
her
all
the
artificialnes
of
her
craft
,
but
especially
to
keepe
her selfe
disguised
vnder
the
maske
of
the
Catholike
religion
,
he
presently
sends
her
into
France
.
And
this
is
that
mischieuous
and
traiterous
harlot
,
which
is
called
the
holy
league
:
a
name
truely
fatall
and
pernitious
to
euerie
well
ordered
Monarchie
and
common
wealth
.
This
sorcerie
and
subtletie
of
the
League
is
incontinently
receiued
with
great
applause
of
the
partakers
,
&
pensionaries
of
Philip
king
of
Spaine
,
who
leaue
nothing
vndone
that
they
may
make
her
séeme
plausible
vnto
France
.
The
king
himselfe
maketh
semblance
of
a
faire
countenance
in
entertaining
it
courteously
,
yea
making
great
difficultie
to
giue
credite
to
his
most
faithfull
subiectes
,
friends
and
seruants
,
who
pertinently
declared
that
it
was
not
begun
for
other
end
,
but
to
withdraw
France
from
his
obedience
,
and
finally
to
rauish
her
from
betweene
his
armes
.
But
the
good
prince
is
alreadie
so
charmed
by
her
alluring
speaches
,
that
contrarily
he
sweareth
onely
by
her
,
and
acteth
whatsoeuer
shée
commandeth
,
at
least
giuing
outwardly
sufficient
demonstrations
,
like
to
that
infortunate
Priamus
,
who
was
so
bewitched
with
the
sorceries
and
subtleties
of
Helena
,
that
instéed
of
giuing
credite
to
the
true
speaches
of
his
owne
daughter
Cassandra
(
who
prophesied
vnto
him
the
misfortunes
that
should
in
the
end
fall
vpon
him
and
his
kingdome
by
meanes
of
this
faire
Dame
)
he
not
onely
taunted
her
as
a
foole
,
but
also
detained
her
in
prison
▪
Alas
you
Frenchmen
,
how
manie
true
Cassandras
hath
your
king
had
,
which
foretold
him
the
ruine
both
of
him
,
and
you
.
Notwithstanding
it
is
manifestly
séene
what
small
estimate
,
both
he
and
you
haue
made
of
their
holy
and
profitable
aduertisements
:
nay
you
haue
bin
so
far
from
giuing
credit
to
this
infallible
Oracle
,
that
otherwise
you
haue
mocked
&
searched
for
the
authors
,
as
men
guiltie
of
some
capital
crime
.
And
herein
you
may
be
compared
to
the
Orithains
,
who
after
they
had
whooted
and
hissed
at
Euphraces
the
Orator
,
they
imprisoned
him
as
a
perturber
of
the
people
,
for
that
he
aduertised
them
to
take
héed
least
they
submitted
themselues
vnder
the
tyrannie
of
Philip
king
of
Macedon
,
as
afterward
they
found
it
too
true
.
Now
this
damnable
League
,
this
impudent
courtisan
,
proposing
her selfe
to
corrupt
the
fidelitie
of
France
,
gained
first
of
all
secretly
those
whom
she
knew
gaue
most
credence
vnto
her
,
as
manie
of
the
nobilitie
,
some
of
the
officers
,
as
well
of
the
kings
as
of
the
cities
,
and
in
a
manner
all
the
Ecclesiasticall
persons
:
who
(
oh
horrible
shame
)
made
no
conscience
to
sell
for
ready
money
,
their
eloquence
and
knowledge
(
which
they
ought
to
haue
imployed
in
preaching
the
gospel
,
and
instructing
the
simple
people
in
the
feare
of
God
and
obedience
to
their
king
)
to
corrupt
the
constancie
and
fidelitie
of
France
,
but
Quid
non
mortalia
pectora
cogis
auri
Sacra
fames
?
Where
is
the
time
that
the
kings
of
France
,
and
their
Magistrates
,
yea
all
good
Christians
,
had
in
such
indignation
,
those
which
dared
to
take
either
rewards
or
pensions
of
forraine
Princes
?
that
if
any
were
noted
with
this
crime
,
he
was
sure
without
either
grace
,
or
remission
,
ignominiously
to
loose
his
life
:
for
this
iustice
hath
bene
one
of
the
firmest
pillers
,
which
haue
so
manie
ages
sustained
the
excellencie
of
this
Monarchy
.
But
sithence
that
kings
and
their
officers
haue
neglected
this
vertuous
obseruation
,
it
may
easily
be
perceiued
,
how
the
state
of
their
Monarchie
hath
bene
more
and
more
shaken
.
All
other
kings
&
princes
obserue
inuiolably
this
maxime
,
&
he
which
infringeth
it
is
punished
according
to
the
rigor
of
the
law
:
for
vnder
shadow
of
these
liberalities
,
strangers
take
knowledge
of
the
estate
of
the
realme
,
and
so
seduce
the
subiects
.
And
in
this
manner
Cambyses
espied
&
deceiued
the
Ethiopians
.
Now
the
preachers
(
by
meanes
of
their
mercenarie
tongues
)
forget
no
art
that
may
serue
their
purpose
to
suborne
France
,
but
vse
all
meanes
possible
to
make
the
king
odious
vnto
her
,
in
altering
by
little
and
little
,
by
their
flattering
discourses
the
sincere
amitie
,
and
faithfull
loyaltie
,
which
she
hath
alwayes
held
entirely
towards
him
:
either
exalting
euerie
pettie
imperfecti●●
,
aboue
his
great
perfection
:
either
in
blaming
,
accusing
,
or
attributing
vnto
another
,
the
glorie
onely
due
vnto
him
:
and
contrariwise
in
all
things
magnifying
the
greatnes
,
and
vertues
of
this
amorous
Spaniard
,
whom
they
paint
out
accomplished
with
all
the
perfections
that
may
be
imagined
.
Briefely
,
they
omit
nothing
,
wherby
they
may
substract
France
from
her
king
:
who
séeing
,
vnderstanding
,
and
knowing
all
the
practises
that
were
managed
against
him
,
notwithstanding
flattereth
himself
,
or
rather
is
so
bewitched
by
this
League
,
that
he
will
neither
beléeue
,
nor
chastise
,
the
opprobrious
iniuries
,
which
were
publikely
attached
against
him
,
yea
euen
oftentimes
to
his
face
:
so
much
,
as
it
séemed
,
did
he
feare
to
displease
or
offend
her
,
which
gaue
such
audaciousnes
and
courage
,
to
these
naughtie
packes
,
that
no
man
was
accounted
of
,
vnlesse
he
ranged
himselfe
with
the
League
,
to
vomite
out
a
world
of
iniuries
against
the
authoritie
of
the
king
:
and
he
which
could
gorge
out
most
,
whether
in
preaching
or
writing
,
was
accounted
the
most
honest
man
:
yea
euen
those
who
are
his
owne
creatures
and
fedde
at
his
table
,
are
not
ashamed
to
set
themselues
against
him
,
and
rent
his
renowne
by
all
manner
of
iniuries
&
slanders
.
As
namely
one
called
Roze
,
bishop
of
Senlis
,
the
true
portrature
of
ingratitude
,
who
among
manie
other
iniuries
vttered
one
worthily
meriting
a
corporall
punishment
:
yet
this
good
prince
was
content
onely
for
his
chastisement
to
banish
him
the
court
.
Likewise
an
Aduocat
of
Paris
named
Breton
,
was
so
impudent
as
to
publish
to
the
world
a
book
against
him
repleate
with
mischieuous
calumniations
:
notwithstanding
it
was
euen
against
his
will
that
iustice
was
executed
vpon
him
.
But
for
these
holy
preachers
did
they
approue
this
act
of
iustice
?
nothing
lesse
,
but
rather
reprooued
it
,
as
a
tyrannicall
act
:
so
that
one
of
them
named
Boucher
,
was
so
shameles
as
to
preach
,
that
the
cord
wherwith
the
Aduocat
Breton
was
strangled
,
was
a
thousand
times
more
honorable
,
then
the
scarlet
robe
of
the
president
which
condemned
him
.
I
cannot
here
forget
a
certain
Parisian
,
instructed
and
prompted
by
Madame
de
Mompensier
,
who
faigning
himselfe
mad
,
entered
the
Louure
,
vttering
a
thousand
detestable
words
against
the
person
of
the
king
,
yet
for
his
knauerie
,
he
was
but
simplie
whipped
in
one
of
the
o●●…ces
of
that
place
.
Behold
how
this
prince
brooketh
these
iniuries
which
were
disgorged
,
and
that
impudently
against
him
and
his
authoritie
.
Behold
how
careful
he
is
to
extinguish
the
fire
which
kindleth
to
borne
him
,
and
the
estate
of
his
realme
:
so
that
well
may
it
be
said
of
him
,
Malum
est
quidem
habere
imperatorem
,
sub
quo
nemini
licet
quicquam
facere
:
sed
multo
peius
est
quando
omnia
licent
omnibus
.
The
League
hauing
now
had
a
long
time
to
practise
vpon
France
,
ouer
whom
she
had
alreadie
gotten
this
aduantage
,
that
it
easily
gaue
her
credite
in
whatsoeuer
,
aduised
with
her selfe
that
it
was
now
high
time
to
let
them
,
which
had
set
her
a
work
,
sée
some
better
fruits
of
her
trauell
.
So
that
leauing
off
words
&
such
like
matters
,
she
will
now
venter
vpon
practise
,
wherein
the
dice
chanced
so
well
,
that
her
enterprise
fortuned
euen
to
her
wish
.
And
this
was
when
she
called
the
Duke
of
Guise
,
with
his
other
partakers
into
the
citie
of
Paris
against
the
will
of
the
king
:
who
(
as
well
for
the
more
assurance
of
his
person
,
as
to
ferret
out
certaine
mischeiuous
naughtipackes
,
lurking
priuily
in
the
said
citie
,
which
put
in
feare
the
good
seruants
of
the
king
,
whom
the
League
termed
by
the
name
of
Polliticks
)
placed
the
guards
of
his
body
in
certain
places
of
the
citty
:
but
the
League
caused
him
soone
to
know
,
that
shée
had
so
throughly
altered
the
will
of
the
people
,
that
they
were
farre
more
affectioned
to
the
said
Guysard
,
then
to
him
himselfe
:
which
he
then
perceiued
when
it
was
too
late
to
remedy
.
Thus
within
lesse
then
thrée
or
foure
houres
,
the
Parisians
were
so
animated
against
the
kings
guard
,
by
the
instigation
of
the
Duke
of
Guise
,
(
as
himself
vaunted
and
braued
in
certaine
letters
directed
to
the
nobility
of
France
)
that
they
killed
&
hurt
diuers
of
them
:
yea
the
king
himselfe
was
scarsely
spared
:
for
the
Barricados
were
planted
within
the
gate
of
his
Louure
,
in
such
sort
that
he
thought
his
stay
would
be
far
more
perillous
then
his
departure
.
This
is
that
infortunate
day
,
which
the
preachers
haue
extolled
as
the
most
fortunate
day
which
happened
of
a
thousand
yeares
in
France
,
and
which
they
themselues
in
open
sermon
,
baptised
by
the
name
of
Barricados
:
as
in
truth
it
hath
beene
very
aduantagious
for
the
master
whom
they
serue
.
The
king
hauing
receiued
this
indignitie
of
his
France
,
in
the
capitall
cittie
of
his
realme
,
and
in
the
sight
of
all
the
Princes
in
Christendome
,
who
were
there
resident
in
the
person
of
their
Ambassadours
or
Agents
,
did
he
shew
himselfe
to
be
mooued
or
angrie
?
not
at
all
:
but
as
if
he
had
too
much
let
loose
the
bridle
of
his
malignant
affections
,
fearing
a
worse
euent
,
he
is
content
to
put
vp
the
wrong
,
and
to
accuse
himselfe
.
So
seeking
to
reconcile
himselfe
with
her
,
he
made
it
knowne
,
that
he
would
assemble
the
estates
of
his
realme
,
by
whose
aduise
and
counsell
he
would
hereafter
rule
all
his
actions
:
and
that
he
might
shew
some
confirmation
of
his
will
,
he
casheard
in
one
morning
about
33.
of
his
Edicts
.
At
the
first
bruit
of
this
declaration
,
the
League
séemed
somwhat
male
content
,
fearing
that
if
Fraunce
being
admonished
,
and
reprooued
by
her
king
,
should
haue
any
remorse
of
conscience
for
her
fault
,
shée
would
returne
to
her
former
duety
:
yet
considering
that
she
had
so
practised
her
nearest
counsailors
,
that
they
would
speake
nothing
but
by
her
mouth
(
like
a
good
scholler
that
Fortune
had
put
in
her
hands
,
to
mount
the
more
easily
,
whether
she
aspired
)
made
shew
to
wish
nothing
more
then
the
conuocation
of
the
estates
:
meane
while
letting
not
slippe
an
houre
vnimployed
,
either
in
resolliciting
her
old
partakers
,
or
purchasing
new
:
but
especially
watching
that
none
might
be
at
this
assembly
,
but
those
whom
she
knew
to
be
of
her
partie
,
whom
shée
instructed
from
point
to
point
,
what
they
had
to
do
.
Whilest
the
Prouinces
,
were
assembling
to
prepare
,
their
Articles
,
she
suffered
not
the
time
to
passe
vnprofitably
,
giuing
aduise
to
her
partarkers
in
those
things
which
were
necessarie
for
their
Articles
,
to
some
to
besiege
Boulogne
,
to
others
to
beleager
and
batter
Iamets
,
and
to
others
to
possesse
themselues
of
the
Marqueship
of
Saluce
:
yet
not
forgetting
to
aduertise
her
Master
what
she
had
happely
negociated
,
as
also
the
good
estate
of
the
affaires
which
she
then
managed
,
requiring
him
with
all
spéede
to
imbarke
,
that
puissant
army
which
he
had
so
long
equipped
to
that
end
:
whether
to
vsurpe
England
,
or
to
visite
France
in
forme
of
an
Ambassage
,
whereby
to
make
proofe
of
her
good
affection
,
and
to
encourage
her
reuolt
against
her
king
:
but
either
the
one
or
the
other
might
haue
bene
preiudiciall
to
the
French
king
,
if
the
issue
had
fitted
their
expectation
:
but
God
by
his
grace
myraculously
ouerturned
it
,
for
this
great
Armada
,
which
was
termed
inuincible
was
broken
,
defeated
,
and
dissipated
,
beyonde
all
humaine
expectation
,
by
the
valiauncie
and
magnanimitie
of
the
fléete
,
which
the
Quéene
of
England
had
sent
forth
,
to
defend
the
coastes
of
her
realme
.
Albeit
the
defeating
of
this
Armada
somewhat
vexed
the
Spanyards
,
and
not
without
cause
:
for
that
it
clipped
the
wings
of
their
other
enterprises
:
notwithstanding
the
League
was
not
any
whit
dismayed
,
but
pursued
more
hotly
her
affaires
,
as
willing
to
repaire
this
ruine
,
by
double
diligence
.
And
indéede
shée
effected
so
farre
with
the
king
,
that
he
solemnely
sware
and
protested
to
vnite
himselfe
with
her
,
and
hereafter
to
be
solely
ordered
by
her
counsell
:
so
that
the
king
was
so
blinded
that
he
sware
the
destruction
of
himselfe
,
and
the
extirpation
of
his
,
by
an
Edict
ensuing
,
named
for
this
cause
the
Edict
of
reunion
.
The
time
being
come
,
where
the
estates
ought
to
assemble
,
their
Deputies
showed
themselues
at
Bloys
,
where
the
assignation
was
giuen
.
Then
was
question
made
in
this
assemblie
,
that
the
king
,
and
his
France
,
or
rather
the
League
,
should
giue
understanding
of
their
affaires
,
to
those
which
were
called
to
determine
thereof
.
For
this
part
of
France
,
had
alreadie
retired
their
affection
,
from
their
naturall
king
,
to
yéeld
it
to
the
king
of
Spains
,
yea
from
their
owne
children
and
heires
,
to
commit
it
to
the
said
Spaniards
in
such
manner
,
did
they
effect
that
the
kings
established
,
a
foundamentall
law
of
his
kingdom
,
whereby
no
heretike
,
or
fauourer
of
heresie
might
euer
come
to
the
Crowne
.
In
this
sort
excluding
the
king
of
Nauarre
,
whom
the
League
held
for
an
hereticke
,
and
the
residue
of
the
house
of
Bourbon
,
his
cousins
(
except
some
few
)
from
their
naturall
,
and
legitimat
,
right
,
to
the
Crowne
of
France
.
Thus
the
League
not
onely
depriuing
him
,
but
also
employing
all
their
might
,
to
root
them
out
,
by
force
of
armes
.
Briefly
,
the
French
League
,
might
not
abide
the
sight
of
her
owne
children
,
but
hated
them
,
with
a
most
mortall
hate
.
So
that
hauing
giuen
away
her
soule
from
her
owne
king
,
like
an
vniust
stepmother
,
she
disherited
her
legitimat
children
,
to
inuest
bastards
,
or
straungers
,
in
their
fathers
heritage
.
And
which
is
more
,
she
is
not
contented
to
haue
drawen
away
,
this
great
corner
stone
from
the
foundations
of
the
kings
estate
,
(
for
in
stéede
of
adding
another
good
foundation
for
this
vniust
law
,
she
haled
away
one
of
the
best
,
to
the
end
to
ouerthrow
it
)
as
may
be
séen
,
in
that
she
bound
his
hands
in
the
administration
of
his
Realme
,
yea
euen
to
the
taking
away
of
those
few
which
remained
of
his
most
faithfull
,
auncient
,
and
domesticall
seruants
:
placing
in
their
stéed
,
those
whom
she
thought
most
affectionat
towards
her
.
Thus
was
this
good
Prince
depriued
of
his
legitimat
successours
fallen
in
a
manner
from
his
dignitie
,
diminished
of
his
puissance
,
&
abandoned
of
his
most
faithfull
,
and
loyall
seruants
.
What
resteth
now
therefore
for
vnfaithfull
France
,
but
to
cast
herselfe
betwéene
the
armes
of
her
good
friend
the
Spaniard
?
the
king
so
timerous
,
that
he
dare
not
hinder
her
,
and
albeit
he
durst
,
all
his
meanes
are
remoued
,
hauing
not
one
onely
heire
,
nor
one
,
or
at
least
few
seruants
,
that
either
would
or
could
aide
him
to
retaine
her
.
Furthermore
,
she
hath
bin
so
shamelesse
,
as
to
enterprise
vpon
the
life
of
the
king
,
for
that
being
vtterly
impatient
,
and
transported
with
a
foolish
affection
,
she
sought
all
meanes
to
rid
him
away
:
so
that
treading
vnder
feete
,
the
feare
of
God
,
and
shame
of
men
,
she
resolued
vpon
his
death
,
what
euer
came
of
it
.
She
néeded
not
greatly
trouble
her selfe
,
to
séeke
one
,
to
execute
her
mischieuous
will
,
a
thousand
are
readie
to
enterprise
it
,
euen
to
the
perill
of
their
life
.
Albeit
among
so
great
a
number
,
she
discouered
her selfe
but
onely
to
one
,
whom
she
especially
loued
,
&
put
most
affiance
in
,
who
was
a
hundreth
times
more
readie
to
obey
,
then
she
to
commaunde
.
Yea
,
such
a
one
as
most
inflamed
her
to
practise
vpon
the
enterprise
.
Behold
then
this
good
Prince
,
ordained
by
this
French
League
,
to
a
miserable
death
,
and
who
must
be
the
bloudie
parricide
,
but
the
Duke
of
Guise
?
onely
the
execution
thereof
remained
which
had
not
bin
long
delayed
,
had
it
not
bin
for
the
prouidence
&
mercy
of
our
God
,
who
as
he
hath
a
care
,
especially
ouer
the
person
of
kings
(
Rex
venerandus
curae
est
Deo
,
saith
the
Poet
)
manifested
vnto
the
king
this
bloudy
conspiracie
,
giuing
him
meanes
by
the
aide
of
some
of
his
faithfull
seruants
,
which
yet
remained
,
to
preuent
the
traiterous
,
murtherer
&
parricide
,
who
had
vowed
to
take
away
his
life
,
or
at
least
his
libertie
.
And
thus
was
he
taken
in
the
nett
,
which
he
had
spread
for
others
:
yea
the
hand
of
the
Lord
,
stretched
euen
vpon
the
Cardinall
his
brother
a
man
of
the
same
stampe
.
But
surely
they
had
the
reward
,
which
they
had
rightly
deserued
,
wherewith
Hermeas
was
payed
by
the
king
Antiochus
.
As
also
accustomablie
it
happeneth
,
that
.
Nimium
potentes
,
&
regibus
suis
,
formidofi

,
aut

,
&
tragicum
tandem

,
ab

regibus
,
à
quibus

,
&

,

.
If
France
,
at
the
fall
of
this
man
,
were
meruailously
moued
,
much
more
,
were
the
League
,
and
Phillip
.
Hauing
lost
the
best
feather
of
their
wing
,
and
the
strongest
piller
,
which
supported
their
attempts
.
Now
France
seing
,
that
her
floud
,
was
discouered
,
knew
neither
what
countenance
to
make
nor
what
way
to
take
:
whether
to
entreate
pardon
of
the
king
,
whom
she
had
so
detestably
offended
,
or
following
on
,
with
her
mischieuous
resolution
,
to
perseuere
in
the
amitie
,
which
she
had
sworne
to
Phillip
.
And
I
verilie
beléeue
,
that
she
had
retained
the
former
opinion
,
as
most
safe
:
had
not
the
League
,
in
vsing
,
more
fine
and
artificiall
subtleties
,
then
euer
before
,
by
the
seducing
of
the
vnfaithfull
preachers
,
induced
,
perswaded
,
yea
,
and
constrained
her
,
to
follow
her
last
resolution
,
setting
before
her
eyes
,
the
enormitie
of
all
the
faults
,
that
she
had
committed
against
the
authoritie
of
her
king
:
who
would
be
so
irreconciliable
,
and
inflamed
with
a
desire
of
reuenge
,
that
he
would
neuer
be
induced
to
open
the
gate
of
his
mercie
.
Thus
desperatlie
she
resolueth
,
that
seing
the
dice
was
cast
,
she
would
runne
fortunes
hazard
:
as
also
the
ardent
affection
,
that
she
had
to
change
her
naturall
Prince
,
to
assay
the
gouernement
of
a
stranger
:
which
she
earnestlie
wisheth
for
,
albeit
to
her
common
dammage
,
and
extreme
ruine
.
The
Gaules
(
saith
Caesar
in
his
Commentaries
)
loue
noueltie
,
and
desire
to
change
their
Signorie
:
so
that
there
néeded
no
great
labour
,
to
incite
them
to
a
generall
rebellion
;
&
yet
the
seditious
preachers
adding
oile
to
fier
,
by
their
charming
Sermons
,
and
vniust
declaration
,
make
processe
vpon
the
bodie
,
by
which
processe
,
the
Colledge
of
Sorbone
,
acquited
,
the
people
,
from
the
oth
of
fidelitie
and
obedience
to
their
Prince
:
and
without
any
scruple
of
conscience
to
take
armes
against
him
,
to
extirpat
both
him
,
&
all
those
which
shall
sustaine
,
or
defend
his
quarell
.
As
if
the
Colledge
of
Sorbone
were
aboue
the
king
,
to
licence
his
people
to
violate
the
most
firme
,
and
holie
lawes
of
the
Realme
:
now
in
such
case
,
if
often
hapneth
(
as
Caesar
saith
)
that
some
are
pricked
forward
with
auarice
,
others
with
desire
of
reuenge
,
or
any
other
light
folly
,
which
ordinarilie
aecompanieth
the
common
people
.
Moreouer
the
great
ones
labour
to
set
the
vulgar
sort
in
a
tumult
,
wherein
hauing
committed
some
great
mischief
,
they
may
be
ashamed
to
repent
,
or
craue
mercie
,
others
there
are
,
who
are
drawne
by
a
hope
,
to
become
great
men
:
which
(
as
saith
Salust
)
maketh
men
,
but
of
meane
condition
to
venter
their
life
.
Now
before
this
French
League
will
commit
her
fortune
to
the
field
,
she
would
remoue
all
such
stumbling
blockes
,
as
might
hinder
her
actions
,
or
interrupt
the
course
of
her
vnbridled
rage
,
in
such
sort
that
she
captiuated
or
banished
the
Cities
,
all
those
whom
she
neuer
so
litle
suspected
to
be
seruants
to
the
kings
.
And
then
began
France
,
so
to
ruffle
,
that
the
League
,
&
her
preachers
had
gathered
a
puissant
armie
,
whose
leader
must
be
the
Duke
du
Maine
,
whom
you
cherish
no
lesse
,
than
his
late
deceased
brother
:
but
O
France
,
to
what
end
doest
thou
march
accompanied
with
such
a
terrible
courage
,
as
though
thou
wouldst
affray
,
and
subdue
the
whole
world
?
is
it
to
maintaine
the
authoritie
of
thy
king
?
or
to
conquer
,
new
lands
planting
the
borders
of
thy
Monarchie
,
vpon
thy
neighbours
?
or
finally
to
recouer
those
,
which
the
auncestors
of
thy
Spaniards
,
yea
,
and
he
himselfe
hath
vniustly
robbed
thée
of
?
no
,
no
such
matter
.
It
is
to
abase
,
and
beate
downe
the
greatnes
of
my
king
,
for
that
he
hath
taken
away
the
life
of
my
Minion
,
who
(
might
I
haue
had
my
will
)
should
haue
taken
away
his
.
To
this
end
,
do
I
muster
so
many
men
in
field
,
to
sacrifice
their
bloud
,
for
the
expiation
of
the
offence
perpetrated
by
the
king
vpon
the
person
of
my
fauorite
:
As
also
my
fields
shall
be
ouerflowen
with
the
bloud
of
the
French
,
for
an
earnest
pennie
of
my
Mariage
dower
,
with
Philip
king
of
Spaine
,
for
that
so
is
his
pleasure
,
and
he
instantlie
requireth
it
as
a
token
of
my
affection
.
Ah
miserable
France
,
well
may
it
be
cried
out
against
thée
.
Gallia
,
quis
furor
?
heu
:
quae
tanta
licentia
ferri
.
Gentibus
inuisis
Gallum
praebere
cruorem
?
You
long
for
nothing
so
much
as
a
bloudie
warre
,
and
you
imagine
thereby
to
triumph
incontinently
ouer
your
king
,
to
yéeld
your selfe
afterward
to
a
forraine
Prince
:
but
brainsicke
as
you
are
,
you
consider
not
the
message
,
which
the
great
warrier
Metellus
sent
vnto
king
Bocchus
.
The
entrance
into
warre
(
saith
he
)
is
easie
:
but
the
end
difficult
,
neither
are
the
beginning
,
and
issue
thereof
in
the
power
of
one
,
and
the
same
person
:
euery
one
euen
the
veriest
coward
in
the
world
,
may
easiely
begin
it
,
but
the
end
thereof
is
onely
at
the
pleasure
of
the
conquerour
.
The
king
perceiuing
France
,
to
rush
with
such
furie
vpon
him
,
to
auoid
those
inconueniences
,
whereinto
he
might
fall
,
iudged
that
his
best
remedie
,
was
to
abrogate
and
suppresse
that
iniust
law
,
whereby
at
the
instant
request
of
the
League
,
he
had
declared
his
legitimat
,
and
indubitat
heires
,
incapable
of
succession
to
the
Crowne
,
and
to
recall
them
,
neare
vnto
his
person
:
together
with
all
his
old
,
&
faithfull
seruants
both
to
sustaine
the
assaults
of
his
rebellious
subiects
,
as
also
to
abate
the
pride
of
their
ouer-rash
insolencie
:
who
in
the
meane
while
,
made
a
sodaine
assault
vpon
him
,
in
the
suburbes
of
the
Citie
of
Tours
,
from
whence
they
were
so
valiantly
repulsed
,
that
they
were
constrained
to
make
a
shamefull
retraite
.
The
king
had
no
sooner
made
declaration
of
the
things
aboue
said
,
but
he
might
sée
him selfe
assisted
,
with
a
great
and
couragious
armie
composed
of
the
Princes
of
the
bloud
,
of
the
most
faithfull
,
and
magnagnimous
Nobilitie
,
and
of
the
better
sort
of
his
people
,
friends
,
and
confederates
,
who
neuer
failed
him
at
néed
.
So
that
all
trembled
for
feare
,
where
his
armie
passed
,
the
towns
which
opened
not
their
gates
,
were
soone
ouerthrowen
,
nothing
might
resist
his
puissance
,
and
brieflie
all
stouped
vnder
his
authoritie
.
Thus
hoping
to
moue
France
,
to
acknowledge
her
offences
,
and
to
demande
pardon
,
which
she
might
easilie
haue
obteined
of
his
gracious
clemencie
,
he
caused
his
armie
to
approche
,
euen
to
the
gates
of
Paris
:
then
were
both
France
,
and
the
League
in
extreme
perplexitie
,
without
all
hope
of
safetie
.
France
was
sore
vexed
and
tossed
in
spirite
,
manie
doubts
,
and
difficulties
,
trouble
her
braine
:
the
worme
of
her
conscience
,
doth
gnaw
,
and
pricke
vncessantlie
,
and
so
liuely
,
that
she
féeleth
as
it
were
an
vnsupportable
torment
.
Of
the
one
side
,
she
balanceth
the
enormitie
of
her
mischiefs
,
which
plonge
her
into
a
mortall
dispaire
,
and
on
the
other
side
,
the
great
mercie
of
the
king
,
which
farre
surpassed
the
heaps
of
her
misdéedes
,
lifting
her
to
an
infallible
hope
of
some
great
good
:
and
I
doubt
not
but
that
shortlie
she
had
returned
to
acknowledge
her
faults
,
and
cordially
to
cleaue
to
her
king
,
who
had
handled
her
so
graciously
,
if
God
would
somuch
haue
fauoured
her
,
as
to
take
away
the
vaile
from
before
her
eyes
,
that
she
might
discerne
,
truth
,
from
falshood
,
and
euidentlie
sée
the
errour
whereinto
the
charming
sorceries
,
&
craftie
illusions
of
this
pernicious
League
,
had
caused
her
to
stray
:
and
so
cast
her
headlong
,
into
a
bottomlesse
pit
,
ouerflowing
,
with
all
calamities
,
and
miseries
:
but
it
pleased
not
the
diuine
goodnesse
of
God
,
to
endue
her
with
so
fauourable
a
grace
,
as
one
vnworthie
for
her
detestable
vices
to
receiue
it
:
as
in
truth
full
well
hath
she
deserued
the
paines
that
she
hath
suffered
,
yet
(
so
obstinate
is
she
in
her
wickednes
)
that
she
séekes
no
amendment
.
The
malicious
League
séeing
France
,
in
this
doubtfull
anguish
,
gathered
her
spirits
together
,
to
forge
more
craftie
subtelties
,
then
euer
before
,
to
cause
France
,
to
runne
to
armes
,
after
the
death
of
the
Duke
of
Guise
,
and
so
throughlie
intrudeth
her
,
into
her
former
errours
,
that
waxen
more
fellonious
then
euer
afore
,
she
reconspireth
the
death
of
her
king
:
and
yet
holdeth
an
other
course
then
afore
.
And
therefore
bethinketh
to
enterprise
it
by
treason
,
and
by
such
a
one
as
might
do
it
with
least
suspition
:
so
that
hauing
throughly
discoursed
of
her
affaires
,
she
concludeth
,
that
Religion
,
should
serue
her
as
a
couert
,
to
commit
this
damnable
parricide
.
Then
was
found
out
an
execrable
traitor
,
a
Iacobin
Frier
,
who
driuen
by
a
diabolicall
spirite
,
enterpriseth
to
the
hazard
of
his
life
traiterously
to
murther
his
naturall
Prince
.
O
detestable
crime
,
and
so
horrible
,
that
there
is
not
a
name
so
cruell
or
obhominable
,
as
may
sufficientlie
expresse
it
.
Damnable
Monkes
,
do
you
read
in
the
holie
Scriptures
that
it
is
lawful
for
any
man
to
murther
,
I
say
not
onely
his
king
,
but
euen
the
basest
man
on
the
earth
?
the
law
of
God
expreslie
forbiddeth
to
defile
,
the
hands
in
humaine
bloud
.
God
commaundeth
(
in
the
booke
of
Deuteronomie
)
to
take
the
homicide
from
the
aultar
,
and
to
slay
him
:
but
as
for
kings
,
he
hath
giuen
them
a
particular
priuiledge
,
as
he
saith
by
the
mouth
of
the
Psalmist
.
You
shall
not
touch
mine
annointed
,
much
more
you
shall
not
kill
him
.
Dauid
also
forbore
to
lay
violent
hands
vpon
king
Saul
his
enemie
:
albeit
he
had
him
at
aduantage
.
Did
the
Apostle
teach
you
to
commit
this
execrable
fact
,
when
he
said
.
Obedite
praepositis
vestris
etiam
discolis
?
dare
you
then
in
this
manner
tread
vnder
féete
the
law
of
God
,
whereof
in
wordes
you
vaunt
your selues
to
be
so
zealouslie
affectionate
,
shame
befall
vpon
you
,
mischieuous
,
and
traiterous
hipocrites
,
who
preach
vnto
the
people
,
the
law
of
God
yet
your selues
will
not
follow
it
.
Euen
the
ethnicke
Pagans
shall
condemne
you
in
the
latter
day
:
for
albeit
they
were
ignoraunt
,
yet
they
caried
this
respect
vnto
the
Princes
of
their
land
,
as
to
terme
them
(
in
reuerence
)
the
liuing
pourtraitures
of
the
supreme
diuinitie
.
Harken
what
said
one
of
the
Poets
.
Rex
est
Imago
animata
Dei
.
But
suppose
he
were
so
wicked
as
you
,
and
the
treacherous
Leaguers
would
faine
him
to
be
,
yet
ought
we
to
obserue
this
good
aduertisement
.
Principes
boni
voto
quidem
expetendi
,
qualescunque
;
tamen
tolerandi
.
But
certaine
it
is
,
that
he
was
endued
with
all
the
perfections
requisite
to
make
a
Prince
worthie
of
the
greatest
prayse
,
and
the
onely
imperfection
that
he
had
(
which
was
but
to
great
an
imperfection
in
a
Prince
)
was
,
that
he
showed
himselfe
somwhat
to
negligent
for
the
maintenance
of
his
greatnes
,
and
conseruation
of
his
estate
.
Now
,
then
hath
the
French
League
,
mischieuously
caused
her
king
to
be
murthered
:
who
féeling
the
extremitie
of
death
,
to
approch
neare
vpon
him
,
declared
in
the
presence
of
all
his
Princes
,
and
Lords
of
his
Realme
,
the
king
of
Nauarre
as
naturall
,
and
legitimate
successour
to
the
Crowne
(
as
in
truth
he
is
,
and
that
most
apparent
)
ending
with
these
wordes
the
course
of
his
life
.
Incontinently
all
the
Princes
,
all
the
Lordes
,
and
all
the
Officers
of
the
Crowne
following
the
declaration
,
and
last
will
of
the
deceased
king
acknowledged
the
king
of
Nauarre
,
and
that
according
to
all
equitie
to
be
king
of
France
,
which
all
the
whole
armie
likewise
acknowledged
.
Now
France
being
left
a
widow
of
her
king
,
&
consequently
mistresse
of
her selfe
,
according
to
her
owne
opinion
&
will
(
for
it
is
a
sure
maxime
,
that
the
king
neuer
dyeth
in
France
)
let
vs
accord
to
her
vnreasonable
appetite
:
what
face
setteth
she
vpon
it
?
doth
she
mourne
,
or
is
she
sorrowfully
discomforted
?
Doth
she
show
any
signe
of
sorrow
in
her
widowhead
,
which
ou●…●…o
haue
bin
drowned
in
teares
?
No
,
but
contrariwise
,
she
reioyceth
so
extremely
,
that
she
setteth
publickly
forth
,
a
thousand
,
and
a
thousand
signes
of
ioy
,
as
among
many
others
her
bonfires
being
so
great
,
that
euen
her
furthest
neighbours
,
were
lightned
with
the
flame
thereof
,
whom
notwithstanding
,
she
thinketh
scarcelie
aduertised
by
this
exteriour
signe
,
of
her
vnmeasurable
ioy
,
and
therefore
will
certifie
them
by
expresse
letters
:
poore
vnfortunate
France
,
which
makest
vertue
of
thy
vice
,
and
glorie
of
thy
infamie
:
poore
inchanted
France
,
which
reioycest
when
thou
shouldest
swimme
in
teares
:
but
thou
wilt
not
care
to
doe
otherwise
,
while
thou
art
bewitched
by
the
enchanters
of
this
diabolicall
League
.
But
now
let
vs
sée
,
what
will
become
of
this
widow
:
let
vs
sée
to
what
Prince
France
desireth
to
betroathe
her selfe
:
for
I
thinke
she
will
yéeld
but
onely
to
one
,
otherwise
she
should
doe
contrary
to
the
nature
of
all
other
common
wealths
,
who
finallie
haue
submitted
themselues
vnto
one
onely
Monarke
,
as
approuing
the
gouernement
of
one
to
be
better
then
of
many
:
which
the
Satrapas
of
Persia
,
also
approued
when
as
they
constituted
Darius
for
their
souueraine
Monarche
.
The
Romane
common
wealth
also
,
after
it
had
béen
a
long
time
furrowed
,
and
tossed
by
the
ciuill
warres
of
particular
persons
.
Maluit
parere
vni
,
quam
pluribus
.
Furthermore
in
priuate
families
one
commandeth
ouer
the
rest
:
as
the
head
ouer
the
inferiour
members
:
Yea
euen
in
nombers
.
The
vnitie
(
as
saith
Plato
is
most
estéemed
)
.
Philo
Iudaeus
in
his
booke
of
the
creation
of
a
Prince
,
teacheth
that
the
gouernement
by
one
onely
,
was
ordained
by
the
commandement
of
God
.
Let
vs
hearken
vnto
the
iudgement
of
Homer
:
Non
bonum
est
multorum
principatus
,
vnus
Princeps
esto
.
It
appeareth
then
,
that
there
is
no
sort
of
gouernment
more
excellent
or
commendable
,
then
the
Monarchie
which
France
is
not
ignorant
of
,
and
therefore
will
not
be
subiect
to
many
:
but
she
will
chuse
one
to
fit
her
own
fancie
,
as
though
she
were
ignorant
,
that
in
a
Monarchie
,
an
election
is
perillous
,
&
that
nothing
hath
made
her
so
redoubted
and
puissant
,
as
an
immediat
succession
of
Princes
barring
the
gate
to
election
,
which
all
Monarchies
and
well
ordered
kingdomes
haue
curiously
obserued
.
But
if
this
poore
abused
France
,
remaineth
still
opiniated
in
her
election
,
yet
the
expresse
commandement
of
God
forbiddeth
her
to
elect
a
forraine
Prince
,
as
it
is
written
in
the
17.
of
Deuteronomie
in
these
wordes
.
From
among
thy
brethren
shalt
thou
make
a
king
ouer
thée
:
thou
shalt
not
set
a
straunger
ouer
thée
,
which
is
not
thy
brother
.
Many
examples
might
be
produced
to
this
purpose
,
of
common
wealthes
and
kingdomes
,
which
haue
béen
destroyed
,
onely
for
trusting
and
subiecting
them selues
too
much
to
strangers
.
For
this
cause
Bartholomeus
Coleon
,
reprehended
the
Venetians
(
who
for
his
merites
toward
their
common
wealth
,
had
erected
his
statue
in
gold
)
as
hauing
to
inconsideratly
aduentured
their
common
wealth
into
the
hands
of
a
stranger
.
The
Corinthes
had
not
fallen
into
a
tyrannicall
gouernement
,
if
they
had
not
submitted
themselues
vnder
Timophanes
a
forraine
leader
.
The
Brittaines
were
chased
their
Realme
by
the
English
Saxons
.
The
Spaniards
by
the
Moores
:
and
the
Gréekes
by
the
Turkes
:
onely
by
crauing
succour
of
them
in
their
warres
:
yet
this
French
League
passeth
a
degrée
further
:
she
not
onely
calleth
in
the
Spaniard
to
aide
to
destroy
her
owne
children
:
but
she
will
wholy
submit
her self
vnto
him
,
and
make
him
her
soueraigne
Lord
:
which
because
she
might
not
as
yet
openly
,
and
absolutly
doe
,
for
some
considerations
,
she
aduiseth
vpon
some
fit
expedient
to
couer
her
mischieuous
intention
:
and
to
the
end
to
cloke
her
theft
,
which
she
secretly
desireth
to
commit
with
the
said
Spaniard
,
she
elected
for
her
king
by
forme
of
acquit
Charles
Cardinall
of
Bourbon
,
a
man
ouerworne
with
age
,
whom
she
had
purchased
to
no
other
end
,
but
to
alienate
the
Crowne
,
being
wel
assured
that
he
could
not
hinder
,
but
rather
profit
much
for
the
negociation
betwéene
the
Spaniard
and
her
,
as
before
times
he
had
alwayes
done
,
for
this
Prince
,
she
had
expreslie
reserued
for
this
affaire
.
But
the
late
king
hauing
(
as
it
séemed
)
foreséen
this
accident
,
to
hinder
him
from
disturbing
the
state
any
more
,
had
committed
him
to
a
place
,
where
being
surely
guarded
,
neither
his
rebels
,
nor
the
Spaniard
,
might
aide
him
at
their
deuotion
,
which
meruailously
disquieted
them
.
For
Fraunce
of
her selfe
could
do
nothing
to
any
effect
without
the
authoritie
of
her
beane
king
,
as
I
may
terme
him
:
whom
she
onely
vsed
as
a
couert
for
her
traiterous
monopolies
,
and
inuentions
against
her
legitimate
and
naturall
king
:
albeit
he
had
not
right
,
or
title
to
the
Crowne
,
the
king
being
liuing
,
whom
to
be
deliuered
of
,
they
would
euen
remoue
heauen
and
earth
,
if
it
were
in
their
power
:
but
seeing
all
this
was
to
no
purpose
,
because
the
said
Cardinall
was
surely
guarded
by
the
good
,
&
faithfull
seruants
of
the
king
,
she
recoursed
vnto
force
of
armes
,
and
setteth
a
great
armie
in
the
field
,
which
charged
vpon
the
king
,
being
at
that
time
,
with
a
small
companie
,
at
Deipe
,
and
there
abouts
:
promising
vnto
themselues
,
either
to
slay
him
,
to
captiuate
his
person
,
or
at
the
least
to
cause
him
flie
the
Realme
:
but
God
so
assisted
him
,
by
his
own
prowesse
,
and
the
valour
of
his
owne
souldiers
,
with
the
succours
sent
vnto
him
by
the
Quéene
of
England
,
that
his
enemies
had
but
onely
the
wil
to
hurt
him
,
&
the
grief
,
because
they
were
altogether
vnable
to
hurt
him
:
for
the
king
defeated
,
and
repulsed
them
valerously
,
and
afterward
searched
them
euen
at
the
gates
of
Paris
,
from
whence
they
durst
not
appeare
,
to
answere
him
in
battaile
which
he
presented
vnto
them
.
The
Spaniard
for
his
part
continually
entertaineth
France
with
faire
wordes
,
&
great
hope
of
new
forces
,
sufficient
enough
aswell
to
set
the
fained
king
at
libertie
,
as
to
defeate
him
,
which
truely
and
by
good
title
is
called
king
.
And
in
déede
fiue
or
six
mouethes
after
the
charge
vpon
Deipe
,
was
the
Countie
Egmond
,
sent
with
a
great
troupe
.
The
Pope
also
sent
his
Legate
,
to
comfort
&
encourage
her
.
In
such
manner
that
a
puissant
armie
presented
it selfe
to
the
king
,
who
sodainely
set
him selfe
in
battaile
aray
in
the
plaine
of
Yury
,
where
God
once
againe
so
miraculously
fauoured
him
(
although
his
enemies
forces
were
twise
as
great
as
his
)
that
he
gained
the
victorie
,
hauing
slaine
the
greatest
part
of
his
enemies
,
among
whom
was
the
Countie
Egmond
,
and
put
the
rest
to
a
shamefull
flight
,
which
sore
troubled
France
:
and
yet
behold
another
worke
of
God
,
who
working
for
his
annointed
,
about
two
monethes
after
tooke
the
Cardinall
to
him selfe
.
This
vnexspected
death
of
the
Cardinall
rechargeth
her
,
with
diuers
and
troublesome
thoughtes
.
She
saw
that
the
king
had
a
puissant
armie
,
which
so
encreased
euery
day
,
that
he
had
conquered
a
good
part
of
his
kingdome
,
and
which
more
tormented
her
,
she
saw
that
he
had
blocked
on
all
sides
the
Citie
of
Paris
,
which
then
suffered
an
extreme
defect
,
both
of
victuals
,
and
other
commodities
:
which
occasioned
the
people
to
open
their
eyes
,
which
superfluitie
of
ease
,
&
the
charmes
of
the
League
,
vntill
then
,
had
shut
vp
and
vailed
:
and
surely
they
would
willingly
haue
yéelded
to
the
king
,
had
not
the
damnable
League
by
her
subtelties
,
&
the
force
of
her
partakers
,
retained
them
in
their
obstinacie
,
whether
they
would
,
or
no.
Then
began
France
to
perceiue
the
fraude
of
the
Spaniard
,
and
the
illusions
of
the
League
,
acknowledging
that
being
foolishly
perswaded
,
she
had
committed
vnpardonable
faultes
against
her
king
,
and
that
perseuering
in
her
follie
,
she
had
rashly
taken
armes
against
him
,
whom
she
ought
to
haue
cherished
more
then
any
Prince
in
the
world
,
who
notwithstanding
is
so
mercyfull
,
that
she
might
haue
promised
her selfe
,
that
he
would
forget
all
that
was
passed
.
So
that
she
fully
determined
to
send
to
his
Maiestie
to
entreate
of
peace
,
but
that
she
was
so
watched
by
the
League
,
and
intangled
in
her
laberinthes
that
she
might
doe
nothing
,
without
her
knowledge
or
consent
,
who
counselleth
her
,
to
propose
vnto
the
king
,
among
other
Articles
these
two
following
.
1.
That
he
should
change
his
Religion
,
into
the
Romish
Catholike
Religion
,
a
thing
that
she
knew
well
that
the
king
,
would
neuer
accorde
vnto
,
especially
at
that
time
.
2.
That
he
should
pardon
all
those
,
which
are
coulpable
of
the
death
of
the
late
king
,
a
thing
which
he
neither
might
,
nor
ought
to
do
.
And
as
touching
the
changing
of
his
Religion
,
albeit
he
holdeth
it
for
the
most
true
,
and
holy
,
notwithstanding
he
hath
alwayes
protested
,
that
he
would
submit
him selfe
to
the
decrées
of
a
holy
,
&
frée
Councell
,
generall
or
nationall
,
assembled
to
determine
of
the
two
Religions
which
are
professed
in
his
kingdome
:
to
the
end
to
embrace
that
,
which
shal
be
iudged
most
Christian
,
&
to
reiect
the
other
.
But
that
he
is
an
heretike
he
denieth
,
for
that
no
Councell
,
hath
condemned
the
Religion
,
which
he
professeth
to
be
heresie
.
But
put
case
his
Religion
were
hereticall
,
yet
it
maketh
not
either
him
,
or
any
other
person
incapable
to
possesse
those
goods
,
which
naturally
and
lawfully
belong
vnto
him
,
and
to
force
his
conscience
in
regard
of
Religion
,
were
a
thing
vneasie
to
doe
.
If
his
Religion
be
not
good
they
néede
not
feare
,
for
that
he
cannot
long
vphold
or
maintaine
it
in
his
Realme
,
séeing
Iesus
Christ
hath
said
,
Euery
plant
,
which
my
heauenly
father
hath
not
planted
,
shal
be
plucked
vp
by
the
roote
.
They
may
sée
,
a
faire
plea
vpon
this
question
,
in
the
5.
of
the
Actes
,
where
a
Doctour
of
the
law
,
named
Gamaliell
,
speaking
of
the
Religion
,
and
doctrine
of
the
Apostles
,
said
vnto
the
high
Priest
,
and
to
the
Iudges
.
If
this
counsell
,
or
worke
be
of
men
,
it
will
come
to
naught
:
but
if
it
be
of
God
,
ye
cannot
destroy
it
,
least
ye
be
found
euen
fighters
against
God
.
And
doe
not
you
,
manifestly
resist
the
word
of
God
,
to
sustaine
a
Religion
by
the
point
of
the
sword
,
and
enforce
men
to
follow
it
?
It
is
euident
God
neuer
planted
his
,
by
the
sword
of
Princes
.
To
hope
also
that
the
French
king
,
will
leaue
his
Religion
,
to
the
end
to
enioy
peaceably
his
kingdome
is
a
vaine
hope
,
and
I
beléeue
he
will
neuer
do
it
,
if
the
Monarchie
of
the
whole
world
were
offered
vnto
him
,
for
that
he
estéemeth
it
,
a
great
breache
both
to
his
conscience
and
honour
,
if
it
be
not
(
as
I
haue
said
)
first
condemned
by
a
Councell
.
The
League
knowing
then
,
that
France
could
not
treate
a
peace
with
the
king
,
vpon
the
conditons
before
said
,
and
that
by
her
obstinacie
she
reaped
such
great
discommodities
,
that
at
the
length
would
bring
her
to
reason
:
she
solliciteth
her
more
,
&
more
to
persist
in
her
mischeiuous
opinion
,
and
the
more
the
people
cry
out
with
famine
,
so
much
the
more
doe
the
preachers
entertaine
them
in
their
rebellion
,
playing
the
Orators
vnto
them
,
like
as
aunciently
Critognatus
,
a
Captaine
of
the
Gaules
,
did
vnto
the
inhabitants
of
Lauxois
,
being
besieged
by
the
Romanes
:
who
propsed
vnto
them
,
that
it
were
farre
more
honorable
,
to
eate
one
an
other
,
then
to
yéelde
them selues
to
the
mercy
of
the
Romaines
.
But
Critognatus
was
farre
different
from
these
preachers
more
inhumane
,
then
the
very
Canibals
,
for
that
he
did
it
for
feare
of
comming
into
bondage
:
and
these
to
the
end
to
yéeld
France
,
and
her
poore
people
,
vnder
the
yoke
of
a
miserable
tyrannie
:
he
showed
him selfe
truely
zealous
of
his
countrey
,
and
the
name
of
the
Gaules
,
and
these
are
thereunto
mortall
enemies
:
for
they
haue
nothing
but
the
French
names
,
whereas
in
heart
they
are
Spaniards
,
aboue
foure
and
twentie
carrects
.
Now
to
the
end
to
comfort
the
people
in
their
aduersitie
,
they
féede
them
with
a
hope
of
succour
,
which
shall
remooue
that
long
,
and
insupportable
siege
.
And
ind
indéede
the
Spaniard
,
after
hée
had
set
all
his
wits
awork
,
caused
the
Prince
of
Parma
to
march
into
France
,
against
the
king
,
who
togither
with
his
nobilty
,
and
other
men
of
warre
,
presented
him
battaile
foure
or
fiue
times
,
with
a
magnanimous
courage
,
so
that
the
Spaniard
for
all
his
brauadoes
,
was
so
astonished
at
the
sight
of
this
valorous
armie
,
that
he
neuer
dared
to
come
to
blowes
,
contenting
himselfe
,
to
lurke
about
Paris
,
to
consume
the
rest
of
that
small
portion
of
victuals
,
which
remained
in
the
countrie
and
townes
thereabout
.
The
king
séeing
that
the
Spaniard
had
taken
this
resolution
,
licensed
some
of
his
nobilitie
to
depart
,
and
separated
himselfe
a
few
leagues
from
Paris
,
making
dayly
couragious
assaults
vpon
the
enemie
,
who
for
all
his
great
brauadoes
,
and
proud
rodomantadies
,
tooke
onely
two
small
Hamlets
,
not
without
the
losse
of
a
great
number
of
his
souldiers
,
which
were
soone
taken
againe
,
and
that
before
his
face
:
and
hauing
done
these
two
memorable
exploits
,
he
thought
it
best
to
trusse
vp
his
baggage
,
and
returne
to
his
lodging
,
for
feare
of
greater
losse
,
to
the
vtter
abasing
of
his
reputation
:
which
he
did
not
so
secreatly
,
but
that
the
king
made
him
fasten
his
spurres
,
and
leaue
part
of
his
glorious
feathers
behind
him
.
For
he
pursued
him
without
cealing
,
now
in
the
forefront
,
now
on
his
wings
,
and
now
at
his
taile
,
euen
vnto
the
borders
of
Flaunders
.
Thus
in
briefe
behold
,
all
the
succours
and
aduancement
,
that
France
receiued
of
her
great
friend
Philip
king
of
Spaine
,
by
the
comming
of
the
Prince
of
Parma
.
Behold
the
people
left
in
greater
calamitie
,
then
euer
before
,
and
their
affaires
still
growing
from
euill
to
worse
:
the
king
surprising
to
day
one
towne
and
to
morrow
another
.
Poore
abused
France
,
dismaske
and
pul
away
the
vaile
,
which
the
League
hath
put
before
your
eyes
,
turne
away
your
eare
,
from
her
craftie
illusions
:
breake
the
bonds
wherewith
she
hath
captiuated
you
,
and
purge
your
braine
with
some
good
antidote
,
against
her
charmes
:
and
then
,
not
till
then
,
shall
you
perceiue
,
in
what
darkenes
,
in
what
errour
,
in
what
captiuitie
you
haue
bene
detained
,
whilest
this
accursed
League
hath
gouerned
you
:
then
your selfe
shall
be
iudge
,
how
much
you
haue
lost
of
your
beautie
,
of
your
authoritie
,
of
your
greatnes
,
of
your
fidelitie
,
of
your
libertie
,
of
your
wisedome
,
and
of
your
forces
:
which
before
,
and
that
from
the
beginning
were
redoubted
,
not
onely
to
your
neighbours
,
but
euen
to
the
most
renowned
nations
,
so
that
if
you
would
looke
backe
vpon
your selfe
,
you
should
sée
,
that
your
visage
is
so
changed
that
you
could
not
know
it
,
nay
you
would
be
afraid
to
behold
it
.
Consider
all
your
members
,
and
Organes
,
apart
by
themselues
,
and
you
shal
finde
all
your
members
defeated
,
beaten
downe
,
féeble
,
and
weak
,
and
your
organs
all
peruerted
and
gone
astray
in
their
offices
.
Your
neighbours
which
were
wont
of
late
,
to
feare
,
and
redoubt
you
,
doe
now
hisse
at
you
,
pointing
with
their
finger
,
and
mocking
at
your
desperate
rage
,
and
miserable
follie
,
which
hath
made
you
more
cruell
then
Medea
,
against
your
owne
innocent
children
,
whom
you
most
cruelly
pursue
,
and
without
all
humanitie
massacre
,
as
if
they
were
your
most
mortall
enimies
,
that
had
conspired
your
death
.
Take
patience
awhile
,
to
hearken
vnto
one
of
your
most
affectionate
neighbours
,
who
will
set
downe
nothing
which
shal
be
vnreasonable
,
but
rather
wholly
to
your
aduantage
and
profite
.
Imitate
that
vertuous
Prince
Antigonus
,
who
fréely
hearkned
vnto
a
plaine
countrey
man
(
whom
he
met
with
by
chance
)
reprehending
the
vices
,
wherewith
he
was
attached
:
and
albeit
he
felt
himselfe
pricked
to
the
quicke
,
yet
he
tooke
all
in
so
good
part
,
that
it
returned
greatly
to
his
profite
:
correcting
afterwards
,
that
which
the
good
man
had
noted
to
be
vicious
in
him
,
and
being
returned
to
his
court
,
he
said
vnto
his
minions
,
that
he
had
learned
that
of
a
peasant
,
which
he
neuer
knew
before
,
namely
,
the
truth
,
which
his
flatterers
had
alwayes
kept
hidden
,
and
disguised
.
In
like
manner
(
miserable
France
)
depart
but
a
little
from
this
fraudulous
League
,
and
her
traiterous
preachers
,
to
learne
,
not
of
one
of
your
domesticall
flatterers
,
and
deluders
,
but
of
a
simple
stranger
,
desirous
for
your
owne
good
&
safetie
,
to
cause
you
to
know
the
sincere
veritie
,
which
this
long
time
you
haue
not
heard
of
,
for
that
you
would
neuer
giue
eare
to
anie
discourses
,
but
those
of
your
deceiuers
,
depart
therefore
but
a
while
out
of
your
court
,
and
I
will
cause
you
sincerely
to
vnderstand
,
what
you
haue
hereafter
to
do
.
Demosthenes
perswading
the
Athenians
to
resist
Philip
of
Macedon
,
exhorted
them
not
onely
to
repulse
the
vsurper
,
but
consequently
to
chase
out
of
their
cittie
certaine
Orators
,
whom
by
rewards
he
had
drawne
vnto
his
faction
.
In
like
manner
I
aduise
you
,
that
to
auoid
the
tyrannie
of
Philip
of
Spaine
,
it
is
néedfull
to
betake
you
to
your
weapons
,
and
more
then
high
time
,
to
exile
this
pernitious
League
,
and
her
corrupted
preachers
if
they
will
not
amend
,
contenting
themselues
to
preach
the
gospel
,
as
Iesus
Christ
hath
enioyned
his
Apostles
,
whose
imitatours
and
successours
they
faine
themselues
to
be
.
Go
(
saith
Christ
)
throughout
the
whole
world
,
preaching
the
gospel
vnto
euery
creature
:
he
commandeth
them
,
not
to
meddle
with
the
estates
of
Princes
,
to
seduce
their
people
,
causing
them
to
reuolt
against
them
,
nor
to
cause
their
doctrine
,
to
be
obserued
by
armes
,
committing
cruel
and
bloodie
butcheries
,
vpon
all
persons
without
any
exception
,
as
these
our
venerable
masters
haue
done
for
these
thirtie
yeares
,
and
do
yet
sollicite
others
to
do
:
and
herein
must
I
néeds
commend
the
policie
of
all
other
kingdomes
,
which
forbid
vpon
grieuous
penalties
,
that
diuines
should
in
their
sermons
dispute
vpon
matters
of
state
.
But
how
dare
I
take
in
hand
to
beate
downe
so
puissant
a
Prince
,
redoubted
to
all
Europe
,
who
hath
so
great
commaundement
ouer
me
,
bieng
subiected
vnder
his
puissance
:
your
naturall
and
legitimate
king
,
of
whom
it
may
be
well
said
,
Rex
quo
iustior
alter
Nec
pietate
fuit
,
nec
bello
,
maior
,
&
armis
.
He
onely
it
is
that
may
vaunt
,
as
sometime
that
great
chieftaine
Abarius
vaunted
:
Sweat
,
dust
,
and
such
like
things
are
more
delectable
vnto
vs
then
the
most
delicate
fare
.
And
briefly
this
is
he
,
who
from
his
cradle
hath
followed
the
counsell
,
that
Plinius
secundus
giueth
to
a
magnanimous
Prince
,
which
desireth
to
be
skilfull
in
militarie
affaires
.
Princeps
(
saith
he
)
vt
sit
Militaris
debet
prius
multum
,
&
dium
bello
periclitatus
esse
:
sic
enim
disciplina
militaris
scientissimus
erit
.
This
is
he
which
is
more
then
sufficient
to
breake
all
the
attempts
and
enterprises
of
the
Spaniard
:
yea
euen
to
pursue
him
into
his
owne
countrie
if
neede
were
,
which
he
knowing
full
well
,
hath
for
this
long
time
sowed
discention
betweene
you
,
and
hath
enterprised
:
to
make
him
odious
vnto
you
,
fearing
that
if
you
should
both
march
vpon
one
foote
,
he
should
be
constrained
to
take
héede
to
himselfe
,
without
enterprising
vpon
his
neighbours
:
so
that
he
should
fal
from
this
high
attempt
to
become
Monarch
of
the
world
.
It
is
méere
simplicitie
in
you
to
redoubt
the
said
Philip
,
séeing
his
greatnes
is
growne
onely
by
the
negligence
,
floath
,
and
malice
of
those
,
ouer
whom
he
hath
tyrannically
vsurped
,
as
namely
ouer
vs
Portingales
.
In
like
manner
would
he
waxe
great
by
your
ciuill
dissentions
,
which
are
vnto
him
as
a
bridge
to
passe
ouer
vnto
your
soueraintie
.
For
making
you
beléeue
that
he
wil
(
as
a
friend
)
succour
you
against
him
,
whom
falsly
you
intitle
your
enimie
,
he
will
vse
the
same
subtletie
that
this
other
Philip
of
Macidone
vsed
,
who
vnder
colour
of
assisting
diuers
people
of
Grecia
against
their
neighbours
(
saying
that
it
was
the
dutie
of
a
friend
,
&
confederate
,
to
lend
succours
to
others
in
their
vrgent
affaires
)
easily
possessed
himselfe
of
their
common
wealths
.
And
thinke
you
,
I
pray
you
,
that
Philip
of
Spaine
,
will
tell
you
by
his
hyred
preachers
(
for
you
will
not
hearken
to
any
other
)
that
he
wil
first
reduce
you
vnder
his
gouernment
,
&
afterward
handle
you
rigorously
?
for
my
part
,
I
thinke
him
more
wise
,
neither
doubt
I
that
you
thinke
otherwise
:
but
rather
to
the
end
to
intrappe
you
,
he
promiseth
you
more
good
,
then
you
dare
hope
or
wish
for
of
your
legitimate
king
.
But
if
you
haue
any
discretion
,
be
it
neuer
so
little
,
you
will
make
no
receit
of
such
excessiue
promises
,
for
that
they
are
too
much
suspect
,
and
too
full
of
distrust
,
which
in
this
case
ought
to
finde
some
place
in
you
.
Men
haue
inuented
diuers
thinges
conuenient
for
the
defence
and
conseruation
of
their
citties
,
as
wals
,
ditches
,
trenches
,
bulwarks
,
bastiles
,
engines
,
artillerie
,
and
such
like
,
which
haue
not
bene
done
without
great
charges
by
ingenious
mechanickes
and
workmen
.
But
sage
discretion
findeth
naturally
in
it selfe
,
an
inexpugnable
rampire
,
especially
in
a
free
people
,
against
the
assaults
and
inuasion
of
a
tyrannous
vsurper
:
and
what
rampier
is
this
?
a
distrustfull
foreséeing
,
wherewith
if
you
be
thoroughly
fortified
,
no
encombrance
shall
annoy
you
,
but
you
shal
conserue
your
deare
libertie
,
wherof
the
Spaniard
is
a
sworne
enimie
,
and
vsurper
.
Good
God
:
how
grieuous
would
it
be
vnto
you
,
if
after
al
this
,
you
make
the
Spaniard
possessour
of
you
and
yours
,
and
that
by
your
owne
meanes
:
murthering
one
king
,
reiecting
another
,
who
is
your
legitimate
king
,
disaduowing
your
owne
children
,
contemning
your
nobilitie
,
disdaining
your
most
faithfull
people
,
ouer
whom
you
haue
made
innumerable
extorsions
.
And
briefly
after
hauing
suffered
all
the
mischiefes
in
the
world
,
on
your
members
afféebled
with
trauell
.
Instéede
of
finding
in
this
Spaniard
all
recreation
,
pleasure
,
swéetnes
,
courtesie
,
rest
,
and
tranquilitie
,
he
should
cause
you
to
enter
from
a
feuer
to
a
frenzie
.
For
to
deliuer
you
from
warre
,
which
you
most
desire
,
what
face
soeuer
you
set
vpon
it
,
for
that
it
is
grieuous
and
wearisome
vnto
you
,
he
cannot
doe
it
though
he
would
,
for
that
he
hath
too
strong
parties
,
not
to
speake
of
strangers
,
which
thing
if
it
may
go
by
vsurpation
,
haue
as
good
right
in
your
kingdome
as
he
.
You
haue
good
example
of
my
saying
at
your
doore
,
euen
Flaunders
his
patrimonie
,
which
is
now
a
thousand
times
lesse
in
peace
,
then
it
was
in
the
beginning
of
their
troubles
.
I
assure
my selfe
that
the
least
warres
that
you
haue
vpon
you
,
as
well
of
his
part
,
as
by
his
occasion
,
shall
be
more
tedious
vnto
you
,
then
all
those
,
which
for
this
thirty
yeares
you
haue
supported
,
yea
comprising
the
last
(
albeit
in
good
earnest
they
felt
the
extraordinarie
rigour
of
the
Spaniard
,
)
which
notwithstanding
in
comparison
of
these
future
,
haue
bene
but
as
childes
play
:
albeit
it
was
long
of
those
which
first
began
them
,
to
the
great
griefe
of
the
most
faithfull
,
who
were
forced
to
defend
themselues
against
the
arrogancy
of
the
Guysards
,
who
would
tread
them
vnder
their
féete
.
And
albeit
herein
they
had
committed
some
fault
,
which
cannot
be
said
,
for
that
they
did
it
for
their
defence
,
yet
are
they
neuerthelesse
in
some
sort
excusable
,
for
that
they
are
houshold
children
.
For
like
as
he
which
is
borne
in
a
rich
and
puissant
family
,
if
he
happen
to
do
any
thing
vnfitting
,
and
contrarie
to
his
duetie
,
is
not
to
be
blamed
,
or
reprehended
so
sharply
as
a
stranger
:
but
if
some
seruant
or
stranger
hath
lost
,
or
wasted
,
that
whereunto
he
hath
not
any
right
,
how
much
more
foully
should
he
fault
?
and
how
much
more
grieuously
were
he
to
be
reprehended
?
Now
it
goeth
farre
otherwise
with
the
Spaniard
,
for
not
onely
he
is
not
French
,
but
also
he
hath
nothing
in
him
worthy
to
be
simbolized
in
the
least
degrée
,
to
the
good
and
laudable
nature
,
I
say
not
of
the
Princes
,
but
of
the
meanest
gentlemen
of
France
.
All
this
notwithstanding
is
nothing
in
regard
of
the
dolourous
heartbreaking
,
which
incessantly
shal
torment
you
,
hauing
in
stéede
of
the
master
,
one
of
his
seruaunts
to
rule
and
gouerne
you
,
by
the
name
of
a
Viceroy
.
Yea
albeit
he
should
giue
you
some
French
Lord
(
but
make
account
he
will
take
héede
to
that
)
he
wil
not
handle
you
better
than
vs
Portugales
,
or
the
Neapolitans
,
and
Milannois
,
and
all
those
which
are
vnder
his
subiection
.
If
the
Grecians
found
it
strange
to
haue
Philip
of
Macedone
absent
from
their
Pithian
games
,
whereat
if
he
assisted
not
himselfe
,
he
caused
some
of
his
court
,
to
be
president
:
will
the
proud
disdaine
of
your
Philip
,
be
more
tollerable
vnto
you
,
when
he
will
not
daigne
,
I
say
not
to
honour
you
certaine
moneths
euerie
yeare
with
his
presence
,
but
not
to
visite
you
at
all
?
and
yet
surely
the
administration
of
such
a
kingdome
,
is
of
farre
more
worth
,
and
importance
,
then
the
feast
of
I
know
not
what
games
,
and
pastimes
.
And
yet
moreouer
,
you
haue
bene
always
accustomed
to
talke
familiarly
with
your
king
,
and
to
remonstrate
vnto
him
,
whether
in
priuate
or
publike
all
your
affaires
:
you
alwayes
saw
your
king
president
in
the
congregation
of
your
estates
.
You
I
say
are
they
,
especially
aboue
all
other
nations
,
who
desire
nothing
more
,
then
to
content
your
eyes
,
with
the
presence
of
your
Prince
.
But
herein
in
my
opinion
he
shal
beare
himselfe
maruellous
discréetely
,
for
that
he
ought
not
to
entertain
himselfe
with
you
,
but
in
a
tedious
manner
,
by
reason
of
the
iust
distrust
he
may
haue
of
your
fidelitie
.
For
séeing
you
haue
falsified
your
faith
to
your
legitimate
Prince
:
séeing
you
haue
killed
your
rightfull
king
,
séeing
you
haue
shewed
your selfe
a
stepmother
to
your
owne
children
,
to
adopt
strangers
,
good
occasion
may
he
haue
to
hold
your
loyaltie
alwayes
in
suspect
:
which
you
may
as
easily
violate
towards
him
,
as
you
haue
done
towards
your
naturall
and
legitimate
Prince
.
And
be
you
sure
,
that
he
will
soone
make
you
tast
of
the
frutes
of
his
distrust
,
by
taking
away
all
those
which
may
any
wayes
be
obstacles
to
his
enterprises
.
Make
account
,
that
he
is
not
ignorant
,
that
Tyrannidis
inducendae
,
ac
stabiliendae
prima
initia
sunt
frequens
accusatio
,
&
in
quouis
crimine
adiuncta
delaesa
maiestate
Principis
.
Itemque
delatorum
authoritas
.
Which
he
throughly
practised
in
Flanders
,
causing
the
Counties
Egmond
and
Horne
to
be
beheaded
:
besides
diuerse
other
,
as
also
the
Prince
of
Orange
,
whom
he
caused
traiterously
to
be
murthered
.
And
as
for
vs
Portingales
,
hath
he
spared
vs
?
I
will
make
you
partakers
of
some
examples
of
his
clemencie
towards
our
Nobilitie
.
The
Countie
de
Vimiose
Constable
of
Portingale
being
slaine
in
fighting
for
the
libertie
of
his
countrie
.
The
Spaniard
confiscated
all
his
goods
,
and
sent
his
mother
with
her
seuen
daughters
,
prisoners
into
Castile
.
Diego
de
Meneses
sometime
Viceroy
of
the
East
Indies
,
and
gouernour
of
the
towne
of
Cascais
,
was
publikely
beheaded
,
and
one
of
the
Captaines
of
the
sayd
to
towne
,
named
Henry
Perera
,
was
ignominiously
hanged
,
notwithstanding
his
nobilitie
.
Emanuel
Serradas
was
executed
by
the
sword
in
the
Ile
of
Tercera
.
And
the
Countie
de
Torres
vedras
gouernour
of
the
sayd
I
le
,
was
in
like
manner
beheaded
.
The
same
end
had
Peter
Alpoen
,
after
that
Philip
vnderstood
that
our
king
Don
Anthonio
was
retired
toward
France
.
Sfortia
Vrsino
a
valorous
Captaine
,
was
likewise
empoysoned
.
These
few
,
which
I
haue
collected
from
a
great
number
,
may
suffise
,
because
I
would
not
be
tedious
vnto
you
.
And
therefore
by
the
example
of
the
miseries
of
our
Realme
,
take
héed
in
good
time
,
least
that
happen
vpon
yours
(
if
the
Spaniard
become
maister
)
which
Tacitus
writeth
,
Sub
tyrannis
&
iniustè
imperium
occupantibus
,
omnia
sunt
bellis
ciuilibus
,
proditionibus
,
mutuis
coedibus
,
exilijs
plena
,
&c.
I
take
you
to
be
so
benigne
a
mother
,
that
you
would
féele
an
extreme
gréefe
,
to
sée
your
Nobilitie
,
the
honour
and
stay
of
your
authoritie
to
be
massacred
or
banished
.
And
albeit
it
had
prouoked
you
by
a
thousand
outrages
,
as
the
League
hath
vndertaken
falsely
to
perswade
you
:
yet
would
you
impatiently
support
this
horrible
and
cruell
tyrannie
.
Now
then
you
sée
into
what
infortunate
calamities
,
this
pernicious
League
would
precipitate
you
into
.
You
sée
,
how
she
séeketh
nothing
but
to
destroy
you
,
to
enrich
Philip
with
your
dammage
.
And
you
sée
that
she
enforceth
her self
to
charge
your
neck
with
such
a
waightie
tyrannie
,
that
you
shal
continually
remaine
courbed
vnder
the
burthen
therof
,
without
being
able
to
redresse
your selfe
.
But
I
hope
that
by
this
time
you
haue
reculed
farre
backe
from
her
,
yea
euen
wholly
chased
her
from
your
eares
,
and
that
returning
to
your selfe
,
you
will
be
gouerned
by
reason
:
by
whose
good
counsell
you
shall
returne
vnto
your
king
,
and
be
appeased
with
your
Nobilitie
,
who
heartely
desire
to
reuiew
you
,
more
excellent
and
magnificall
then
euer
before
:
as
full
easily
you
may
be
,
being
assisted
and
maintained
by
the
most
vertuous
and
magnanimous
king
,
that
euer
swayed
your
crowne
.
Oh
how
comly
wold
it
be
,
to
sée
you
reuested
with
this
faire
French
robe
,
embrodered
with
the
flour deluces
.
Oh
how
neat
it
wold
be
,
ouer
this
Spanish
motley
robe
,
which
for
a
time
you
haue
worne
,
which
hath
made
you
so
vgly
and
deformed
,
that
you
are
become
the
fable
of
all
your
neighbours
,
who
take
you
for
some
foolish
sot
,
not
knowing
you
being
so
foolishly
disguised
:
but
take
but
once
againe
your
owne
habite
,
and
they
will
both
honour
and
reuerence
you
.
These
faire
floure
deluces
will
put
them
in
minde
of
your
integritie
,
and
vnmoueable
constancie
towardes
your
king
,
which
if
you
kéepe
inuiolably
,
then
shall
you
triumph
ouer
the
arrogancie
of
the
Spaniard
,
if
he
should
offer
hereafter
to
disquiet
or
disturbe
your
felicitie
.
But
now
I
come
to
you
people
of
France
,
diuided
principally
into
two
parties
,
whereof
the
first
part
,
which
is
the
lesser
,
hath
continually
remained
entire
and
faithfull
to
their
Prince
,
what
faire
language
,
what
subtleties
,
what
menaces
,
what
prisons
,
what
tortures
,
what
cruelties
,
and
what
losse
of
goods
soeuer
,
that
the
League
and
her
partakers
had
plotted
or
inuented
,
to
leade
them
to
their
deuotion
.
The
other
part
being
farre
greater
,
hath
not
only
run
at
the
first
furie
of
the
League
,
to
reuolt
against
their
king
,
but
also
hath
taken
in
hand
to
intraine
&
corrupt
the
sound
partie
:
and
yet
remaineth
plunged
in
their
obstinacie
.
To
these
two
parties
agreeth
well
the
difference
,
that
Demosthenes
put
betwéene
those
of
Athens
and
Thebes
.
The
Athenians
as
true
citizens
,
and
men
zealous
of
the
common
wealth
,
would
fauour
Philip
of
Macedon
no
further
,
then
honestie
and
vertue
would
permit
them
:
but
the
Thebans
contrariwise
serued
him
for
an
ardent
couetousnesse
of
gaine
and
particular
profit
,
which
they
hoped
to
draw
thereby
,
not
apprehending
any
farther
,
like
men
of
base
vnderstanding
,
the
rigor
of
a
tedious
seruitude
.
Now
as
for
you
sage
Athenians
,
you
faithfull
Frenchmen
,
me
thinketh
you
néede
no
aduertisement
,
to
entertaine
you
in
your
dutie
,
séeing
the
League
,
by
so
many
and
so
many
crosses
,
troubles
,
&
persecutions
,
hath
not
bene
able
to
diuert
you
:
I
estéeme
you
so
constant
,
that
nothing
shal
be
able
hereafter
to
distract
you
:
you
are
men
rather
worthie
of
immortall
praise
,
which
shall
neuer
fayle
you
,
then
any
admonition
,
and
therfore
I
should
be
but
too
tedious
to
exhort
you
to
conserue
that
,
which
I
know
you
do
most
affect
,
namely
your
libertie
&
fidelitie
.
And
albeit
Demosthenes
played
the
orator
often
to
his
Athenians
,
yet
were
if
néedlesse
vnto
you
,
because
you
are
more
vertuous
then
the
Athenians
.
But
it
is
to
you
,
that
it
is
more
then
néedfull
,
not
to
speake
,
but
to
cry
out
,
O
you
senslesse
Thebans
,
you
rebellious
Frenchmen
,
you
traiterous
brokers
of
your
goods
,
your
friends
,
your
parents
,
your
wiues
,
your
children
,
your selues
,
&
your
countrey
,
which
ought
to
be
more
deare
vnto
you
,
then
mischieuously
to
deliuer
ouer
to
a
cruell
tyrannie
.
But
you
are
runne
further
then
the
Thebans
of
Graecia
,
for
they
being
grosse
heads
,
and
without
any
foresight
,
couetous
,
and
such
as
only
respected
their
profit
,
enriched
them selues
by
the
harmes
of
their
fellow
citizens
:
but
you
faile
not
for
want
of
understanding
or
of
ignorance
,
but
rather
through
rage
,
fellonie
,
and
fore
determined
malice
:
like
certaine
Orators
among
the
Orithains
,
or
like
the
Olympians
among
the
Athenians
:
so
you
being
once
infected
by
this
pernicious
League
,
haue
stirred
vp
by
your
flattering
orations
and
lying
pamphlets
,
the
most
simple
to
rebellion
,
and
therein
detaine
them
,
as
it
were
by
force
and
violence
.
For
these
poore
idiots
are
so
drunken
by
your
mellified
and
seducing
sermons
,
that
they
suffer
them selues
to
be
led
by
the
snoute
like
beares
and
elephants
.
What
say
you
now
you
unfaithful
Frenchmen
,
abused
by
the
Sorbonical
seducers
?
because
you
haue
once
shaken
off
the
yoke
of
obedience
to
your
king
,
will
you
neuer
more
receiue
it
?
Well
may
you
be
likened
to
a
sauage
and
outragious
beast
,
séeing
you
haue
taken
such
vnbridled
libertie
:
or
if
you
submit
your selues
to
obedience
,
you
will
chuse
a
head
to
your
owne
fancie
.
And
in
déed
better
it
is
to
obey
in
what
sort
soeuer
it
be
,
them
euilly
to
commaund
,
and
continue
so
long
time
confusedly
,
in
a
chaos
of
Anarchie
,
which
is
most
perillous
,
Nihil
anarchia
periculosius
,
saith
Plato
,
and
herein
you
follow
the
aduice
of
Tacitus
,
Praestat
sub
malo
Principe
esse
,
quam
sub
nullo
.
I
perceiue
then
,
you
would
acknowledge
a
superiour
,
but
not
he
whom
God
and
nature
hath
giuen
you
,
being
induced
to
this
resolution
by
the
prattle
of
your
Preachers
.
And
why
?
forsooth
he
is
not
of
the
Catholicke
religion
,
which
it
may
be
he
will
take
away
from
vs
,
and
constraine
vs
by
violence
to
embrace
his
religion
,
as
the
Quéene
of
England
hath
done
in
her
Realme
:
but
as
for
the
Spaniard
,
he
is
a
Catholike
,
whom
we
loue
better
then
our
naturall
king
,
aswell
for
that
respect
,
as
for
the
promise
he
hath
made
to
gouerue
vs
with
all
clemencie
,
for
that
he
desireth
not
to
be
our
king
,
but
only
to
maintaine
vs
in
the
Catholike
religion
.
Briefly
,
nothing
leadeth
vs
hereinto
,
but
the
conseruation
of
this
religion
,
he
being
at
this
time
the
eldest
sonne
of
the
Romish
Church
.
I
haue
before
satisfied
you
concerning
the
first
part
of
your
obiection
,
when
I
declared
,
that
your
king
will
entertaine
you
in
libertie
of
conscience
,
vntill
a
Councell
haue
determined
of
both
religions
,
and
assure
your selues
for
certaine
,
that
herein
he
wil
inuiolably
obserue
his
faith
and
promise
.
Touching
the
second
obiection
,
that
the
example
of
the
Quéene
of
England
causeth
you
to
mistrust
,
that
your
king
notwithstanding
his
promise
,
will
force
you
to
obserue
the
religion
reformed
.
I
perceiue
that
you
haue
bin
misinformed
of
the
state
of
England
touching
this
point
:
for
the
Quéene
neuer
made
promise
vnto
her
Catholicke
subiects
to
continue
their
religion
:
but
contrariwise
the
Estates
of
her
Realme
caused
her
at
her
coronation
to
sweare
to
maintaine
the
religion
reformed
:
yet
for
all
this
,
it
was
neuer
yet
found
,
that
she
constrained
the
conscience
of
one
onely
Catholicke
,
to
renounce
his
religion
to
liue
in
the
reformed
:
true
it
is
,
that
according
to
her
oth
,
she
hath
forbidden
the
Masse
to
be
publikely
said
.
As
for
the
Catholikes
which
haue
bene
executed
,
they
haue
bin
condenmed
with
all
the
solemnities
requisit
to
the
procéeding
of
rightfull
iustice
,
as
being
attainted
,
and
conuinced
by
their
owne
confessions
of
high
treason
against
her
Maiestie
:
either
for
rising
in
armes
against
their
Soueraigne
,
or
for
being
so
detestable
,
as
to
dare
make
attempt
vpon
her
sacred
life
.
How
much
had
it
auailed
your
late
king
,
if
by
this
laudable
example
he
had
chastised
the
perturbers
of
his
state
,
who
now
finally
haue
digged
his
graue
?
Herein
this
sage
and
vertuous
Princesse
,
hath
caried
her selfe
so
discréetly
&
modestly
,
that
she
is
cherished
and
reuerenced
by
all
the
Princes
of
the
earth
.
And
surely
her
actions
are
so
vertuous
and
laudable
,
that
all
men
beléeue
vndoubtedly
that
the
spirit
of
God
guideth
her
alwayes
,
as
it
were
by
the
hand
.
Yea
I
am
perswaded
,
that
the
greatest
Prince
in
the
world
,
would
estéeme
him selfe
happie
,
if
he
might
second
or
imitate
her
in
the
administration
of
her
estate
.
Yet
notwithstanding
that
impudent
lyer
and
slanderous
deceiuer
,
who
at
the
entrance
of
the
League
,
published
foorth
a
booke
,
intituled
the
English
Catholicke
to
the
French
,
was
plunged
into
such
impudencie
,
as
falsly
to
alledge
actes
so
cleane
contrary
to
the
procéedings
of
this
famous
Quéen
,
as
I
durst
sweare
she
neuer
once
imagined
,
onely
to
the
end
to
cause
you
to
feare
,
&
redoubt
the
gouernment
of
your
legitimate
king
,
a
prince
as
vertuous
as
any
this
day
liuing
vnder
the
sun
.
And
lest
any
man
thinke
,
that
any
particular
affection
hath
incited
me
to
take
her
cause
in
hand
,
I
protest
,
that
nothing
but
the
plaine
and
sincere
truth
(
which
hath
caused
her
innocencie
to
be
knowne
,
against
these
calomnious
falshoods
,
&
maketh
her
praise-worthie
in
all
her
workes
)
hath
incited
me
to
sustaine
the
equity
of
her
cause
:
and
albeit
that
God
and
nature
do
otherwise
sufficiently
bind
me
,
yet
should
I
be
too
ingratefull
,
if
I
should
forget
the
royall
magnificence
,
and
more
then
sisterlike
amitie
,
which
her
benigne
clemency
hath
demonstrated
,
and
dayly
doth
demonstrate
to
our
king
secluded
from
his
kingdome
:
as
also
the
gracious
benefits
which
we
his
poore
exiled
countrimen
haue
receiued
,
and
yet
do
receaue
of
her
vnspeakeable
liberalitie
.
The
last
part
of
your
obiection
is
,
that
nothing
occasioneth
the
Spaniard
to
be
so
desirous
to
command
ouer
you
,
but
only
to
conserue
among
you
the
Catholike
religion
:
ah
poore
senslesse
souls
:
for
gods
sake
do
but
giue
eare
,
to
what
I
shal
briefly
recount
touching
his
actions
in
this
point
:
&
then
shall
you
plainly
perceiue
,
whether
the
zeale
that
he
beareth
towards
your
religion
solliciteth
him
to
be
so
charitable
vnto
you
.
Hath
this
great
Catholike
king
spent
the
treasures
,
or
hazarded
the
life
of
his
subiects
,
only
for
the
aduauncement
of
the
Christian
faith
against
vnchristian
Princes
?
nothing
lesse
.
To
verifie
this
to
be
true
,
Pope
Gregore
13.
proposing
him selfe
to
the
ayd
of
certaine
Christian
Princes
,
to
make
an
enterprise
vpon
the
Persian
,
for
the
augmentation
of
the
Church
,
requested
this
Spaniard
to
giue
them
some
succours
:
which
he
not
onely
flatly
denied
,
but
which
is
more
,
would
not
lend
any
of
his
galleys
,
albeit
the
holy
see
offred
to
fraight
them
at
her
owne
charges
.
Moreouer
how
dealt
he
with
our
late
king
Don
Sebastian
,
whose
death
all
Christendome
hath
sufficient
cause
to
bewaile
:
who
(
desiring
to
assist
Mulei
Mahumet
king
of
Fez
and
Marocco
,
agaiust
Mulei
Maluco
his
brother
,
who
had
expulsed
him
his
Realme
,
a
worke
surely
worthy
of
so
Christian
a
Prince
,
and
aduantagious
to
the
whole
Church
,
for
the
good
conditions
he
had
compounded
with
the
stranger
)
required
the
Spaniard
his
vncle
to
succour
him
in
this
expedition
,
who
accorded
that
he
should
haue
fiftie
gallies
equipped
,
&
iiij
.
thousand
fighting
men
.
Which
Mulei
Maluco
perceiuing
,
incontinently
offred
him
certaine
townes
on
the
sea
side
to
desist
from
his
promise
,
which
he
spéedely
accepted
,
not
shaming
to
breake
his
othsworne
to
his
nephew
,
to
contract
alliance
with
a
barbarous
infidell
:
so
much
did
auarice
raigne
ouer
him
,
as
to
cause
him
violate
the
lawes
of
God
&
men
:
but
he
was
payd
with
the
same
money
that
he
lent
,
for
that
sending
his
Ambassadour
named
Vanegas
,
to
take
possession
of
the
town
of
Rarache
and
others
promised
vnto
him
:
the
Barbarians
mocking
at
his
trecherie
,
constrained
the
Ambassadour
by
force
of
the
Canon
,
to
retire
sooner
then
he
was
willing
.
But
it
may
be
you
will
say
,
he
bare
him selfe
politickly
in
these
two
actions
,
to
conserue
and
maintaine
his
estate
:
as
if
humane
pollicie
were
to
be
preferred
before
the
law
and
honour
of
God
.
I
,
but
for
all
this
he
hath
shewed
him selfe
a
very
zealous
Catholike
,
&
hath
caried
a
particular
respect
toward
those
which
make
strict
profession
of
this
religion
.
Well
,
let
vs
sée
if
that
be
true
.
After
he
had
inuaded
our
Realme
,
and
that
among
infinite
other
Ladies
,
he
had
banished
into
Castile
the
wife
of
the
Agent
of
our
king
Don
Anthonio
,
his
children
and
mother
in
law
,
he
drewe
thrée
of
his
sisters
,
chast
,
and
holy
religious
,
out
of
the
monastery
of
S.
Clare
at
Lisbone
,
and
confined
them
likewise
into
Castile
.
But
he
hath
dealt
maruellous
clemently
with
them
in
sauing
their
liues
,
albeit
seruile
and
miserable
.
Yea
but
sith
the
women
are
thus
dealt
with
,
the
men
must
be
handled
more
rigorously
,
&
surely
herein
he
hath
throughly
acquitted
himself
,
witnesse
a
good
religious
,
named
Frier
Iohn
,
of
the
order
of
the
Iacobins
,
who
for
embracing
the
libertie
of
his
countrey
,
was
hanged
in
the
Ile
of
Madera
:
another
Frier
,
Hector
Pintus
of
the
order
of
S.
Hierome
,
was
committed
to
the
hands
of
certaine
souldiers
in
Castile
,
where
he
was
afterward
empoisoned
.
Frier
Iames
de
Noronba
a
Iacobin
brother
to
the
Counte
de
Mire
,
was
so
cruelly
beaten
,
and
hurt
by
the
souldiers
,
that
he
ended
his
life
.
A
Doctor
named
Frier
Augustine
,
of
the
order
of
S.
Augustine
,
and
Frier
Emanuel
Margues
a
gray
Frier
,
were
chained
together
with
rouers
and
théeues
in
a
galley
,
which
was
afterward
taken
by
the
Turkes
,
vnder
whose
crueltie
,
I
leaue
it
to
your
iudgement
to
imagine
what
torments
these
poore
religious
haue
suffred
.
Frier
Gregory
of
the
order
of
S.
Augustine
,

Frier
Lewes
Soarez
of
the
order
of
the
Trinitie
,
hauing
bin
tortured
with
a
thousand
torments
in
prison
,
was
afterward
exiled
.
Frier
Anthonie
Seneuse
was
constrained
to
lurke
secretly
in
the
forrests
,
to
auoyd
the
bloody
rage
of
this
Philip
king
of
Spaine
.
And
briefly
a
million
of
others
,
who
haue
bene
,
and
are
dayly
,
either
drowned
,
strangled
,
empoysoned
,
prisoners
or
fugitiue
.
You
might
sée
a
sufficient
number
of
them
flie
for
refuge
into
France
,
who
yéeld
more
then
sufficient
testimonie
of
his
cruell
barbarisme
.
But
for
what
occasion
or
to
what
end
were
all
these
cruelties
committed
?
These
good
men
were
faithfull
Portugals
,
contrary
to
your
Preachers
,
&
therfore
he
feared
,
lest
they
should
moue
the
people
to
recouer
their
libertie
.
I
speake
not
of
an
infinite
number
of
the
heads
of
our
Nobilitie
,
wherwith
the
gates
of
our
townes
are
stuffed
,
and
repaired
from
day
to
day
.
Yea
but
he
hath
throughly
gratified
all
those
which
were
fauouring
in
the
vsurpation
of
our
Realme
:
surely
according
to
their
merits
,
and
the
bountie
of
the
sayd
Spaniard
,
a
people
who
commonly
loue
treason
but
hate
the
traitors
,
when
their
own
turnes
are
serued
:
he
hath
made
them
know
when
they
haue
demanded
recompence
for
their
seruice
,
that
albeit
they
haue
sold
&
betrayed
their
countrey
,
yet
he
is
nothing
in
their
debt
,
and
that
a
man
were
ill
aduised
to
buy
that
which
is
his
owne
.
Behold
the
faire
reward
of
their
trecherie
,
and
the
payment
of
their
sale
.
Christian
Var
de
Vegua
gouernour
of
the
Castle
of
S.
Iohn
,
can
beare
witnesse
hereof
,
who
hauing
deliuered
that
place
to
the
Spaniard
,
for
a
good
annuall
pension
during
his
life
,
in
steed
of
enioying
this
promise
,
he
was
incontinently
banished
for
ten
yeares
into
Affrica
to
make
warre
against
the
Moores
.
And
if
you
desire
to
know
further
herof
,
behold
the
request
which
these
traitors
presented
vnto
the
sayd
Spanish
king
,
beséeching
him
to
kéepe
his
promise
:
and
the
answer
which
he
gaue
them
,
you
shall
find
it
in
the
end
of
the
Iustification
of
our
king
Don
Anthonio
,
touching
the
war
which
he
made
vpon
this
Philip
:
so
that
if
he
hath
left
any
(
hauing
chased
away
the
rest
)
in
their
charges
,
and
gouernments
,
which
are
not
of
any
great
importance
,
he
holdeth
them
so
short
,
&
setteth
such
néere
espials
vpon
them
,
that
they
are
as
it
were
in
a
méere
captiuitie
.
Consider
now
if
you
run
not
the
same
race
:
as
for
the
faithfull
Frenchmen
,
whether
secular
or
regular
,
albeit
throughly
Catholikes
,
it
is
alreadie
concluded
(
as
it
were
of
necessitie
)
that
they
shall
passe
through
the
Spanish
butcherie
.
And
as
for
you
faithlesse
traitors
,
make
you
no
better
account
,
for
that
your
naturall
French
humanity
(
which
difficultly
can
be
vtterly
extinguished
)
cannot
long
suffer
the
proud
&
intollerable
Spanish
arrogancie
:
which
the
Spaniard
full
well
knowing
,
at
the
least
suspition
he
may
take
of
your
first
and
naturall
affection
(
as
by
good
right
he
may
alwayes
hold
your
fidelitie
in
suspect
)
will
not
spare
you
any
more
then
the
rest
.
The
reformed
religion
,
as
it
serueth
him
now
for
a
pretext
to
impaire
himself
of
your
kingdome
,
although
you
called
him
not
:
so
shal
it
also
serue
him
as
another
pretext
,
to
couer
his
tyranny
with
a
mantle
of
iustice
,
whilest
he
tormenteth
&
massacreth
those
,
whom
he
shall
perceiue
,
may
giue
him
the
least
trouble
or
impeachment
,
making
them
beléeue
,
that
they
are
of
the
religion
reformed
.
For
my
part
I
beléeue
that
you
are
not
so
voyd
of
iudgement
,
euen
the
most
grosse
among
you
,
that
you
do
not
foresée
what
I
haue
rehearsed
,
whereupon
I
esteeme
you
so
much
the
more
sottish
,
mischieuous
,
&
disloyall
toward
your selues
,
séeing
you
precipitate
your selues
,
as
it
were
with
blinded
eyes
,
from
a
fast
footing
to
so
dangerous
a
perill
,
as
is
imminent
ouer
you
.
Are
these
the
effects
of
a
king
terming
him selfe
so
great
a
Catholike
?
Is
this
the
reuerence
he
beareth
to
the
holy
Apostolicke
see
?
Is
this
to
shew
himself
the
sole
protector
and
piller
of
the
Christian
church
as
he
impudently
vaunteth
in
his
titles
?
Is
this
to
be
the
true
Pastor
of
the
people
,
as
Homer
writeth
of
the
prince
Agamemnon
?
Is
this
to
be
like
the
good
housholder
?
Is
this
to
vanquish
his
will
,
to
handle
those
so
rigorously
,
whom
he
hath
conquered
by
force
of
armes
?
Surely
it
is
farre
worse
then
that
pagan
Cyrus
,
who
curteously
intreated
the
Caldeans
,
whom
he
had
vanquished
.
It
were
good
he
went
to
the
schoole
of
that
excellent
historiographer
Xenophon
,
who
teacheth
this
good
lesson
to
all
vsurpers
,
Noui
populi
bello
parti
,
sunt
beneficio
afficiendi
:
quo
lubentius
nobis
parere
velint
.
Néedlesse
it
were
to
set
before
your
eyes
,
the
dammages
and
miseries
,
which
you
haue
supported
in
these
warres
for
the
Spaniards
sake
:
you
doubt
not
that
the
rich
are
become
poore
,
that
the
néedie
haue
spoyled
other
of
their
goods
,
to
reuest
and
possesse
them selues
therof
.
The
poet
Theognides
yéeldeth
the
principall
reason
thereof
,
when
speaking
of
the
like
sedition
vnto
yours
,
he
saith
,
Baiuli
imperant
,
mali
super
bonos
.
I
néed
not
to
rehearse
the
taking
of
townes
,
by
the
armie
of
your
king
of
townes
(
I
say
)
wherinto
the
souldier
was
constrained
to
enter
by
assault
,
wheras
you
the
inhabitants
haue
not
only
lost
the
most
part
of
your
goods
,
but
also
your
own
honor
and
the
honor
of
your
ancestors
,
who
had
some
interest
therein
.
And
verily
vnworthie
you
are
to
receiue
any
milder
chastisement
,
albeit
all
be
against
the
intention
,
will
,
and
expresse
commandement
of
the
king
,
séeing
you
are
so
hardned
in
your
rebellion
,
that
you
make
all
the
resistance
that
possible
may
be
,
vntil
the
soldier
(
hauing
first
escaped
a
thousand
&
a
thousand
deaths
,
which
you
leuell
vpon
his
head
)
surmount
you
by
violence
of
armes
.
And
yet
which
is
more
to
be
deplored
,
few
towns
become
sage
by
the
misfortune
of
others
:
wherin
may
be
noted
the
iust
vengeance
of
God
,
which
permitteth
not
long
vndelayed
the
punishment
due
to
your
mischieuous
offences
:
yet
do
I
not
think
,
that
you
would
continue
so
obstinate
,
were
it
not
for
those
treacherous
preachers
,
and
others
,
who
haue
Hispaniolized
harts
,
like
Philistides
,
Menippus
,
&
certaine
other
orators
,
and
partakers
of
Philip
of
Macedon
among
the
Orithains
:
for
carelesse
are
they
of
all
your
miseries
,
so
they
may
satisfie
the
desires
&
commandements
of
the
Spanish
king
their
Master
,
who
desireth
nothing
so
much
,
as
the
finall
destruction
of
France
:
which
he
litle
estéemeth
,
so
he
may
possesse
it
,
and
wold
sée
it
wholy
ruinated
,
so
he
might
loose
nothing
of
his
owne
:
&
the
more
it
shal
be
disfurnished
of
power
,
and
disabled
with
men
,
the
more
easily
may
he
Hispaniolize
ouer
it
:
knowing
then
that
he
cannot
subuert
it
,
being
vnited
and
conioyned
,
he
whetteth
his
wits
to
the
end
to
diuide
it
.
Thus
could
not
France
be
subuerted
but
by
it self
,
like
the
common
wealth
of
the
Romans
,
of
whom
it
is
said
,
Mole
sua
ruit
.
Salust
hath
left
written
,
that
the
auncient
Romans
were
accustomed
to
say
,
that
they
felt
themselues
strongly
enflamed
with
vertue
,
when
they
beheld
the
monuments
of
their
ancestors
.
In
imitation
of
these
noble
Romans
,
behold
ye
rebellious
Frenchmen
,
the
images
of
your
ancestors
,
their
vertues
,
&
laudable
actions
,
pourtrayed
and
grauen
in
the
quiers
of
your
histories
,
and
you
shall
sée
,
that
they
haue
alwayes
combated
to
maintaine
the
libertie
of
France
,
sauing
in
the
raigne
of
Charls
the
sixt
,
by
reason
of
the
dissention
betwéen
the
Dukes
of
Orleans
&
Burgundie
:
at
what
time
they
made
a
great
breach
in
their
ancient
constancie
,
diuiding
themselues
,
and
permitting
the
king
of
England
to
take
déep
rooting
in
the
kingdome
of
France
:
which
notwithstanding
Charles
the
7.
sonne
of
the
forenamed
,
wholy
rooted
out
:
and
all
the
French
(
like
men
awaked
out
of
a
profound
sléep
,
which
had
a
long
time
securely
detained
them
)
remembred
them selues
to
be
true
and
naturall
Frenchmen
,
which
haue
neuer
,
at
least
very
seldome
suffred
them selues
to
be
gouerned
by
forrain
Princes
.
If
you
be
curious
to
search
more
anciently
,
the
immouable
constancie
of
the
French
or
Gaules
,
it
is
all
one
,
you
shal
sée
it
liuely
depainted
for
more
then
1650.
yeares
ago
,
in
Caesars
commentaries
,
who
without
great
trauell
&
difficultie
,
could
neuer
subiect
them
to
the
Romane
Empire
:
which
maketh
me
promise
vnto
my selfe
,
that
you
séeing
these
things
,
wil
blush
for
shame
,
so
entirely
to
degenerate
from
their
braue
courage
and
constancie
,
being
rather
in
euery
thing
contrary
vnto
them
.
They
conspired
,
they
reuolted
,
they
tooke
armes
,
they
warred
without
fearing
any
kind
of
death
.
And
why
?
To
conserue
their
libertie
,
their
fréedome
,
&
especially
not
to
receiue
the
garrisons
of
the
Romane
Empire
,
redoubted
,
and
commanding
ouer
the
whole
world
:
of
whom
the
greatest
kings
held
them selues
happy
to
be
called
the
friends
and
confederats
.
Briefly
,
nothing
was
more
odious
vnto
them
then
forraine
garrisons
:
as
Ambrorix
&
the
Captains
of
Tournay
demonstrated
to
Titurius
and
Cicero
the
Lieutenants
of
Caesar
.
But
contrariwise
,
you
league
your selues
,
you
rebel
,
you
run
to
armes
,
you
enter
into
warre
,
and
expose
your
life
to
a
thousand
dangers
.
Against
whom
?
Euen
against
your
natural
and
legitimate
king
,
whole
vertue
is
a
thousand
times
more
commended
of
strangers
then
of
his
owne
subiects
.
To
what
end
?
To
murder
him
,
as
you
haue
done
his
predecessor
,
or
to
chase
him
out
of
his
realme
,
that
you
might
seruilely
subiect
your selues
.
To
whom
?
To
Philip
,
a
Spaniard
,
odious
for
his
ambition
&
tyrannie
to
the
whole
world
:
&
after
to
admit
his
garrisons
,
will
you
nill
you
,
into
your
townes
,
proud
garrisons
,
arrogant
garrisons
insolent
garrisons
,
insupportable
garrisons
:
and
briefly
,
garrisons
more
then
barbarous
:
who
wil
vse
you
,
your
wiues
your
children
&
goods
after
their
own
appetite
,
you
not
daring
to
shew
the
least
semblance
to
take
it
in
euil
part
.
I
speake
not
idlely
,
neither
do
I
recount
fables
or
lies
:
you
shall
not
be
handled
more
curteously
then
your
neighbours
:
the
garrisons
which
shal
bridle
,
&
triumph
ouer
you
,
shall
not
be
compounded
of
lesse
tyrannous
and
cruell
soldiers
,
then
those
whice
presse
vs
so
hardly
,
that
scantly
we
can
take
our
breath
:
nay
happy
shall
you
be
if
it
be
not
worse
.
Your
french
soldiers
,
which
haue
conuersed
any
time
in
the
army
of
the
Prince
of
Parma
wil
witnesse
,
if
so
be
they
will
tell
truly
,
that
I
am
not
a
lier
.
Yet
if
you
desire
to
haue
more
sufficient
testimony
of
my
spéech
,
informe
your selues
of
the
towns
of
Brittaine
,
where
the
Spaniards
haue
long
inough
soiorned
:
yea
which
is
a
country
,
which
the
said
Spaniard
wold
make
you
beléeue
were
appertaining
to
him
:
albeit
he
hath
no
more
right
then
to
the
other
prouinces
of
France
,
for
that
king
Francis
the
first
,
&
since
that
king
Henry
his
sonne
,
vnited
this
dutchie
by
the
consent
of
the
Estates
of
the
countrie
,
to
the
Crowne
of
France
:
in
such
sort
,
that
it
is
of
the
essence
of
that
Crowne
which
neuer
falleth
vnto
the
distaffe
.
If
you
submit
your
towns
to
the
tyrannie
of
Philip
,
looke
hardly
to
sée
in
them
,
by
these
impudent
garrisons
,
that
which
we
dayly
sée
in
ours
,
the
churches
profaned
by
a
thousand
filths
,
villanies
,
and
horrible
sacrileges
:
virgins
violated
,
matrons
defloured
:
&
briefly
the
places
and
stréets
regorging
with
the
blood
of
poore
slaughtered
innocents
.
Yea
these
infamous
soldiers
haue
borne
so
litle
affection
to
the
Catholike
religion
,
as
to
fix
publikly
vpon
the
gates
of
the
Cathedral
church
of
Lisbon
,
execrable
propositions
against
the
doctrin
of
the
Gospel
,
&
the
decrées
of
holy
Councels
.
Yea
,
but
if
these
garrisons
be
so
rigorous
as
you
say
,
we
wil
chase
them
out
of
our
townes
,
&
retire
our selues
from
the
seruitude
of
the
Spaniard
.
I
pray
you
was
it
easie
or
possible
to
your
ancient
Gauls
,
notwithstanding
they
enterprised
it
,
to
deliuer
them selues
from
the
subiection
of
the
Romans
,
vntil
after
many
ages
,
&
at
such
time
as
the
said
Romanes
had
worke
cut
out
for
them
in
other
prouinces
of
their
Empire
?
To
the
Grecians
,
from
that
Philip
of
Macedon
,
and
at
this
day
from
that
of
the
Othomans
?
To
the
Brittains
,
from
that
of
the
English
Saxons
?
And
sée
you
not
,
that
we
haue
not
bin
able
to
recouer
our
fréedom
,
whatsoeuer
our
king
might
do
,
either
by
the
succours
giuen
him
by
your
late
king
,
or
by
those
giuen
him
by
the
Quéene
of
England
about
some
26.
months
past
.
No
no
,
when
you
haue
once
suffred
your selfe
to
be
troden
vnder
foot
by
such
a
proud
&
puissant
vsurper
,
it
is
more
then
difficult
to
raise
vp
your selues
.
It
is
not
easie
to
remoue
the
bridle
when
it
is
once
put
within
the
mouth
,
no
more
than
for
Horaces
horse
,
who
permitted
himselfe
to
be
bridled
,
for
the
desire
he
had
to
vanquish
the
hart
in
his
course
:
but
it
fell
out
otherwise
then
he
expected
,
for
he
could
neuer
since
affranchise
him selfe
from
the
bridle
,
nor
seruice
of
man
.
For
Gods
sake
,
ye
Frenchmen
,
after
the
example
of
your
ancestors
,
be
iealous
in
kéeping
your
precious
liberty
,
be
faithful
to
your
prince
,
and
banish
away
from
you
this
disordinate
appetite
of
nouelty
,
in
desiring
to
assay
the
dominion
of
a
stranger
,
what
euer
he
be
.
For
if
it
be
dangerous
(
as
Salust
saith
)
to
make
experience
of
new
seruants
,
it
is
without
comparison
farre
more
dangerous
to
proue
a
new
maister
,
and
principally
so
seuere
and
rigorous
,
as
is
the
Spaniard
.
If
in
the
time
passed
you
haue
offended
,
studie
to
repaire
this
fault
,
&
you
shall
soone
and
with
facilitie
do
it
,
if
you
rid
from
your
heart
this
indiscréet
affection
of
change
,
this
foolish
persuasion
,
that
the
king
wil
take
away
the
Catholike
religion
:
and
this
pestilent
root
of
auarice
,
which
hath
wholly
wasted
and
corrupted
you
,
as
it
hath
done
many
other
people
.
Do
so
hereafter
,
that
Philip
may
not
say
of
France
,
as
Iugurth
somtimes
reproched
the
citie
of
Rome
,
where
for
money
he
had
wrought
all
things
to
his
aduantage
,
and
departing
from
it
,
oftentimes
looking
backe
,
brake
forth
into
these
words
:
O
Citie
readie
to
be
sold
,
and
sodeinly
to
perish
,
if
it
find
out
a
marchant
.
But
your
auarice
hath
alreadie
done
so
much
,
that
France
is
in
farre
worse
estate
,
for
that
it
hath
found
a
marchant
that
hath
alreadie
gone
through
with
it
.
Notwithstanding
thanks
be
to
God
,
he
hath
not
yet
taken
possession
therof
,
and
I
thinke
the
earnest
money
he
hath
giuen
,
will
proue
a
desperat
debt
,
for
that
the
sellers
might
not
warrant
the
sale
,
hauing
no
right
thereunto
,
nor
repay
the
money
without
great
difficulty
:
and
albeit
they
had
some
right
,
yet
the
good
counsell
that
Scipio
gaue
to
Iugurth
,
who
laboured
by
rewards
,
to
purchase
particularly
the
amitie
of
the
people
of
Rome
,
ought
to
haue
made
him
more
wise
.
It
is
dangerous
(
said
Scipio
)
to
buy
that
of
a
few
persons
,
which
appertaineth
to
many
.
Take
good
héed
,
that
this
mischieuous
auarice
take
no
further
hold
on
you
,
lest
you
cause
your
posteritie
and
forraine
nations
to
say
of
this
Philip
,
as
of
ancient
was
said
of
Macedon
:
Non
Philippum
,
sed
aurum
Philippi
subegisse
Graeciam
.
And
of
our
Philip
:
Non
Philippum
Hispanum
,
sed
eius
aurum
subegisse
Galliam
.
I
am
not
ignorant
that
many
among
you
know
not
of
what
force
this
money
of
Philips
is
,
hauing
neuer
touched
it
as
his
partakers
,
many
Captaines
,
officers
,
preachers
,
and
others
,
haue
throughly
done
.
For
these
are
they
which
haue
miserably
sold
you
,
and
assure
your selues
,
that
you
shall
haue
daily
more
&
more
mischiefs
heaped
vpon
you
,
till
you
stop
the
mouth
of
these
faithlesse
preachers
,
or
banish
them
as
a
mortall
pestilence
,
if
they
will
not
as
I
haue
aforesaid
,
teach
onely
the
pure
word
of
God
,
reprehending
vices
,
for
that
is
their
vocation
and
no
other
.
Which
if
you
do
,
and
withall
craue
pardon
of
your
king
for
your
rash
rebellion
and
offences
:
I
dare
promise
,
that
he
will
vse
his
accustomed
clemencie
towards
you
:
and
receiue
you
,
not
only
as
a
benigne
king
his
faithfull
subiectes
:
but
as
a
charitable
father
his
welbeloued
children
.
As
for
our
lamentable
and
desolate
Realme
,
the
blood
of
our
nobilitie
,
and
of
our
best
citizens
,
the
imprisonment
,
exile
and
banishment
of
others
:
our
losses
,
miseries
,
and
briefly
our
hard
captiuitie
,
which
so
hardly
restraineth
our
throte
,
that
scantly
can
we
speake
,
and
albeit
we
could
,
yet
is
it
forbidden
vs
,
least
we
loose
that
benefit
to
complaine
,
exaggerating
and
redoubling
the
paine
of
our
insupportable
martyrdomes
,
either
by
losse
of
life
,
imprisonment
,
or
at
the
least
exile
&
banishment
.
Let
all
this
(
I
beséech
you
)
be
as
a
cleare
mirrour
,
to
the
end
looking
therein
,
you
may
sée
,
may
feele
,
touch
and
apprehend
,
that
which
you
contemplate
:
and
then
,
I
doubt
not
but
it
may
be
sayd
of
you
,
Post
infoelicem
,
rebellionis
successum
,
populus
facilè
inclinari
solet
,
ad
vetus
obsequium
repetendum
.
Suffer
not
your selues
any
longer
to
be
seduced
by
the
subtleties
presents
,
nor
faire
promises
of
this
Spaniard
,
who
herein
,
as
in
all
other
things
,
is
farre
more
malicious
then
the
Ciclops
Polyphemus
,
for
he
vsed
no
artificiall
subtletie
to
draw
men
to
him
,
and
deuour
them
:
but
Philip
like
an
ingenious
architect
of
all
iniquities
,
inuenteth
millions
of
meanes
to
deceiue
,
and
tyrannize
ouer
you
.
Sed
fugite
,
ô
miseri
,
fugite
,
yea
euen
so
soone
as
possible
may
be
,
lest
hereafter
you
be
constrained
to
do
that
which
willingly
you
would
not
do
.
Be
mindfull
to
recouer
,
and
preciously
to
reserue
that
gorgeous
title
,
which
you
haue
alwayes
carried
,
aboue
all
other
people
:
namely
,
inuiolable
fidelitie
towards
your
king
:
retaine
euen
with
both
hands
that
inestimable
libertie
,
which
your
ancestors
haue
conquered
by
a
million
of
dangers
,
and
left
intailed
from
hand
to
hand
to
your
posteritie
.
Finally
let
this
be
engrauen
in
your
hearts
,
that
you
are
French
men
,
that
is
to
say
,
most
affectionatly
zealous
of
your
countrey
,
king
and
libertie
,
yea
redoubted
to
all
other
nations
,
as
being
issued
out
of
the
stocke
of
the
ancient
warlike
Gaules
:
who
oftentimes
by
force
of
armes
haue
terrified
the
Romane
common
wealth
,
being
the
terrour
of
all
other
nations
.
The
Romanes
(
saith
Salust
)
conquered
all
other
nations
,
but
as
for
the
Gaules
,
with
them
they
combated
for
safetie
and
not
for
honor
.
It
would
highly
content
me
,
might
I
vnderstand
that
ye
haue
followed
my
sincere
and
faithfull
aduertisement
:
beléeue
,
that
I
haue
brotherly
aduertised
,
and
faithfully
counselled
you
to
your
great
vtilitie
and
profit
,
and
that
all
the
rigorous
&
more
then
barbarous
cruelties
of
the
Spaniard
which
you
haue
heard
,
are
as
true
,
as
his
tyrannous
iniquities
are
manifest
to
the
whole
world
.
These
things
haue
I
discouered
vnto
you
,
as
an
eye
witnesse
,
hauing
remained
in
Portingale
after
the
departure
of
our
king
,
no
lesse
miserable
then
poore
Achamenides
,
abandoned
of
his
Prince
Vlysses
in
the
deserts
of
Sicilie
.
For
I
haue
alwayes
euen
to
this
present
liued
poorely
in
dens
,
most
often
,
in
forrests
,
rockes
,
and
caues
,
and
sometime
in
some
litle
corner
of
my
friends
house
,
like
a
languishing
prisoner
,
which
hath
continually
hanging
before
his
eyes
,
the
apprehension
of
a
cruell
death
.
Shew
not
your selues
lesse
credulous
to
my
true
spéech
,
then
were
the
Troians
to
that
of
the
Gréeke
Achamenides
,
Most
happie
the
man
which
keepeth
a
care
,
By
other
mens
harmes
to
learne
to
beware
.
Sirs
,
I
haue
declared
vnto
you
how
mischieuously
you
haue
bin
seduced
by
the
Spanish
faction
,
which
pretendeth
to
vsurp
your
realme
,
and
captiuate
your
libertie
:
for
this
is
the
finall
end
of
the
plots
&
Monopolies
which
he
hath
practised
,
and
of
the
dissentions
,
which
he
hath
ingeniously
sowed
among
you
.
Now
therfore
my
desire
is
to
aduertise
you
in
few
words
(
but
especially
those
,
which
may
carrie
an
opinion
,
that
I
haue
compiled
this
discourse
,
not
so
much
for
your
good
,
as
for
the
affection
that
I
haue
to
sée
your
king
,
to
the
particular
contentation
of
him
and
his
,
peaceably
to
possesse
his
kingdome
)
that
nothing
hath
incited
me
to
this
admonition
,
but
the
brotherly
charitie
,
&
the
good
wil
that
I
haue
to
sée
your
troubles
asswaged
:
to
the
end
that
you
be
not
hereafter
tormented
by
ciuill
warrs
,
&
that
the
Spaniard
possesse
not
any
more
your
sottish
affections
:
but
rather
after
so
many
&
so
great
trauels
,
which
willingly
you
haue
heaped
vpon
your selues
,
you
may
enioy
a
long
&
peaceable
tranquillitie
,
which
all
good
men
ought
to
wish
for
,
&
with
hands
lifted
vp
to
demand
of
the
diuine
goodnes
of
God
:
and
not
maliciously
to
nourish
and
enkindle
warre
,
which
finally
heapeth
most
miseries
vpon
those
which
do
most
séeke
after
it
.
Behold
then
your
case
,
taking
all
things
that
I
haue
said
in
the
worst
sort
,
touching
the
estate
of
your
king
,
flattering
your selues
,
that
without
great
difficultie
he
shal
neuer
become
Master
of
his
kingdome
whilest
you
are
his
aduersaries
,
&
fauorise
the
partie
of
the
Spaniard
,
or
any
other
his
enemies
,
&
that
for
this
occasion
,
I
haue
taken
in
hand
to
induce
you
,
to
reconcile
your selues
towards
his
Maiesty
,
&
require
pardon
of
your
follies
.
But
the
case
is
farre
otherwise
,
then
either
you
think
,
or
your
preachers
giue
you
to
vnderstand
.
He
is
not
(
thanks
be
to
God
)
so
disfurnished
of
courage
,
of
good
and
faithfull
subiects
,
nor
of
the
assistance
of
his
affectionat
friends
,
who
are
puissant
&
many
,
but
that
he
can
both
easily
&
speedily
bring
you
to
what
reason
he
will
,
and
wholly
purge
his
realme
of
this
lothsome
Spaniolized
League
,
yea
,
and
follow
the
Master
thereof
by
the
trace
,
were
he
neuer
so
litle
pushed
forward
by
ambition
.
For
you
know
wel
,
how
many
townes
he
hath
forced
&
reduced
to
his
obedience
,
and
that
euen
at
the
first
sight
.
Neither
are
you
ignorant
,
that
his
only
clemencie
hath
retained
his
puissance
from
forcing
,
subuerting
&
saccaging
the
citie
of
Paris
:
herin
shewing
himself
rather
a
father
then
a
king
,
not
willing
to
do
that
against
his
people
,
which
he
well
might
do
,
&
their
obstinat
rebellion
had
iustly
deserued
.
But
me
thinketh
it
is
now
more
than
hie
time
,
not
any
longer
to
abuse
his
patient
clemencie
,
lest
at
length
it
happen
to
your
own
great
harm
,
as
saith
the
prouerbe
,
Patientia
nimium
laesa
conuertitur
in
furorem
.
The
example
of
many
kings
,
yea
of
your
own
kings
,
who
haue
chastised
their
people
according
to
their
merites
,
ought
long
agoe
to
haue
brought
you
to
this
consideration
,
amending
your selues
,
rather
to
day
then
to
morrow
.
And
indéed
there
is
great
apparence
that
he
wil
now
betake
himself
to
rigor
,
séeing
his
clemencie
can
not
vanquish
your
obstinate
courage
,
by
the
great
preparations
of
war
which
forrain
Princes
addresse
to
assist
him
:
as
the
Q
of
England
,
who
hath
already
sent
good
auantcurrors
:
all
the
Princes
of
Germanie
,
many
Princes
of
Italy
,
the
kings
of
Scotland
,
Denmark
&
Sueueland
,
&
other
septentrional
Princes
.
Yea
,
if
he
would
require
the
succors
of
the
great
Turk
,
it
is
certain
he
might
be
furnished
.
In
such
sort
that
I
sée
,
that
if
you
do
not
shortly
remedy
it
,
in
submitting
your selues
to
his
Maiestie
,
the
most
terrible
storme
that
euer
lighted
vpon
France
,
is
euen
now
readie
to
light
vpon
you
,
to
breake
a
sunder
&
subuert
the
very
eybrow
of
your
proud
and
detestable
rebellion
No
no
,
looke
not
that
the
Spanish
king
with
all
his
double
pistolets
,
craftie
subtleties
,
&
arrogant
brauados
shal
be
sufficient
to
turne
away
neuer
so
litle
this
impetuous
&
cruell
tempest
,
hanging
within
two
fingers
of
your
head
.
Recourse
therfore
spéedily
to
your
Prince
,
before
he
hath
exiled
his
mercie
and
clemencie
.
I
verily
hope
that
by
this
you
are
become
wiser
then
you
were
,
&
so
shall
your
monarchie
herafter
become
more
excellent
then
euer
before
,
vnder
the
gouernement
of
so
vertuous
&
magnanimous
a
king
.
