The
Contre-Guyse
:
CONTAINING
the
entry
of
the
sayde
Family
into
Fraunce
,
with
their
ambitious
aspirings
,
and
pernitious
practises
for
the
obtaining
of
the
crowne
thereof
.
THings
naturall
,
saith
Plutarch
,
are
subiect
to
a
continual
fluxe
of
generation
and
corruption
,
and
he
onely
immutable
,
who
neuer
had
beginning
,
neyther
shall
haue
ending
.
Man
,
as
touching
his
body
,
hath
certaine
periodes
,
wherein
he
euidently
admitteth
alteration
,
and
according
to
the
same
doth
increase
and
decrease
,
as
the
flower
of
age
is
swallowed
vp
in
olde
age
;
youth
,
in
the
flower
of
age
,
infancie
in
youth
,
and
childhood
in
infancie
.
Herein
dooth
nature
resemble
the
image
of
man
,
and
man
the
figure
of
euery
commonwealth
,
which
how
excellent
and
beautifull
soeuer
,
doth
by
degrees
wax
old
,
as
matter
subiect
to
the
brooke
of
liquide
nature
.
Antiquitie
hath
knowne
some
well
grounded
in
mightines
,
and
triumphing
in
glory
,
but
any
that
haue
withstoode
the
course
of
time
,
hath
no
man
seene
,
or
euer
shall
:
For
as
our
bodies
doo
come
to
be
dissolued
,
eyther
through
outward
bruises
,
proceeding
of
extreme
violence
of
stripes
,
or
bad
proportion
of
humors
,
or
finally
by
beeing
broken
and
worne
with
olde
age
:
euen
so
likewise
doo
commonwealthes
and
publike
affaires
growe
to
their
last
periode
,
and
decay
through
diuers
accidents
:
Some
are
ouerwhelmed
and
drowned
in
desolations
,
which
ouerflow
all
:
some
kindled
with
fire
of
ciuill
dissention
:
and
other
some
vndermined
by
time
,
doo
so
growe
to
the
last
periode
of
continuance
,
and
as
a
person
worne
with
age
doo
take
end
.
To
indeuour
therefore
to
settle
the
course
of
worldly
affaires
,
were
,
with
the
Giants
to
seeke
to
skale
the
heauens
.
But
to
take
such
order
,
that
the
alteration
of
the
commonwealth
may
gently
and
naturally
take
effect
:
to
seeke
all
meanes
to
yeeld
it
sure
footing
:
to
spread
the
sayles
to
all
windes
,
for
the
bringing
of
it
to
the
harbour
of
safegard
:
If
it
bee
sicke
,
to
play
the
phisition
:
if
it
stumble
,
to
lend
it
a
hande
:
if
the
sight
of
it
fayle
,
to
reach
it
spectacles
:
and
finally
,
if
it
be
striken
in
yeares
,
to
become
the
staffe
of
the
old
age
thereof
:
all
these
are
the
partes
of
a
good
and
louing
nature
,
yea
,
of
such
a
nature
,
as
is
vtterly
free
from
all
Cinicall
currishnesse
;
and
to
say
the
truth
,
is
no
more
but
the
discharge
of
our
dueties
vnto
our
country
.
This
is
the
reason
,
O
ye
Frenchmen
,
why
now
that
some
for
the
patching
vp
of
the
olde
broken
walles
of
their
auncestors
ambition
,
doo
goe
about
to
choke
vp
our
quietnesse
,
in
trayning
forward
their
cursed
and
execrable
purposes
,
with
the
expences
of
our
goodes
,
blood
,
and
liues
.
I
cannot
,
as
one
standing
vpon
the
firme
land
,
gaze
vppon
the
shipwracke
of
my
country
,
but
seeing
it
tossed
,
and
floting
in
daunger
,
must
needes
cast
foorth
the
last
sacred
ancker
of
my selfe
,
which
is
,
a
boldnesse
of
free
speech
:
and
because
in
humane
accidents
the
discourse
must
be
deriued
from
the
originall
,
marke
now
the
spring
of
our
miserable
calamitie
.
In

of
Lewis
the
12.
surnamed
the
father
of
the
people
,
Claude
of
Lorrayne
,
or
rather
of
Vaudemont
,
set
foot
in
France
,
where
he
straightwaies
began
to
remooue
euery
stone
for
the
laying
of
the
foundation
of
that
mightines
,
wherevnto
we
now
see
his
successors
ascended
,
and
did
so
dazle
the
eies
of
the
French
with
a
false
shew
of
his
wealth
,
that
in

yeare
1512
about

the

of

fauours
of
Court
vnder
Henry
the
2.
at
whose
coronation
they
so
cunningly
exalted
their
ambition
,
that
they
got
the
chiefe
point
of
honour
and
presidence
before
the
Duke
of
Montpensier
,
a
prince
of
the
bloud
,
as
by
the
acte
reserued
by
du
Thier
Secretary
of
commaundements
,
the
25.
of
Iuly
1547.
which
also
in
the
yeare
1559.
they
put
in
practise
at
the
annointing
of
king
Frauncis
the
2.
in
respect
,
saide
they
,
of
the
antiquitie
of
their

,
wherein
must
bee

of

If

must
be
assembled
,
and
by
them
the
king
prouided
of
a
counsell
for
the
gouernment
of
his
nonage
:
The
custome
is
,
The
Princes
of
the
blood
haue
the
first
place
in
this
counsell
,
as
it
fell
out
,
when
at
the
decease
of
Lewis
the
11.
Charles
the
8.
at
the
age
of
14.
yeares
came
to
the
crowne
.
The
Romane
lawes
will
,
That
hee
that
affecteth
or
intrudeth
himselfe
into
any
tutorship
,
should
be
reiected
as
suspect
.
Besides
,
it
is
a
generall
,
sacred
and
inuiolable
rule
,
That
no
forraine
Prince
hold
degree
in
France
.
But
what
can
reason
doo
in
rage
,
or
custome
among
disorders
?
what
can
right
doo
where
force
beareth
sway
?
or
of
what
force
are
lawes
among
murder
,
blood
,
and
tiranny
?
hauing
assured
themselues
of
his
Maiesties
person
,
they
played
their
game
so
cunningly
,
that
a
new
gard
was
established
vnder
the
Seneschall
of
Agen
:
Diana
of
Poictiers
Duchesse
of
Valentinois
,
banished
the
Court
:
Bertrandi
President
of
Tholouse
,
vnto
whome
Henry
the
2.
had
committed
the
seales
of
Fraunce
,
flatly
deferred
,
though
pacified
vnder
hope
of
better
:
The
superintendence
of
the
Treasurie
taken
from
Auanson
,
and
vnder
colour
of
good
husbandry
,
the
faithfullest
seruants
of
the
crowne
beeing
displaced
,
the
gate
of
honour
was
open
to
none
but
the
confederates
of
two
straungers
,
who
for
their
owne
particular
profite
encroched
to
themselues
all
publike
affaires
,
euen
as
the
winde
Coecias
,
which
(
as
it
is
saide
)
draweth
the
clowdes
to
it
,
and
furnished
the
law
with
men
of
like
stuffe
as
themselues
,
&
such
as
were
vowed
vnto
the
execution
of
their
bad
purposes
:
as
also
at
the
same
time
they
strengthened
their
owne
faction
with
the
amitie
of
the
Marshals
Brissac
&
S.
Andrew
,
&
the
Cardinal
of
Tournon
,
the
Conestables
sworne
enemy
.
Putting
in
practise
also
Andronodorus
counsaile
(
who
abusing
the
minority
of
Hierom
king
of
Sicill
,
whome
he
purposed
to
rob
of
his
estate
,
perswaded
him
to
banish
the
chiefe
of
his
Realme
from
the
Court
)
they
did
vnder
the
kings
auow
craftily
disperse
all
those
that
might
haue
crossed
the
course
of
their
fortune
,
&
with
whome
they
could
by
no
meanes
beare
,
not
so
much
because
of
the
difference
of
their
natures
,
as
for
that
the
French
cannot
put
on
the
Lorraines
nature
,
or
the
Lorraine
the
Frenchmans
,
according
to
the
saying
of
Cicero
,
speaking
of
the
ordinary
controuersies
betweene
the
Romane
Consuls
and
Tribunes
.
The
fire
of
ciuill
dissention
is
kindled
betwene
them
,
not
so
much
through
diuersitie
of
qualities
,
as
by
contrarietie
of
humors
&
complexions
.
And
thus
was
the
Prince
of
Condésent
into
Flaunders
,
vnder
pretence
of
strengthening
the
amitie
with
king
Philip
,
and
after
him
the
Prince
of
Roch-sur-yon
,
who
at
his
returne
was
chosen
togither
with
the
Cardinal
of
Bourbon
,
to
conduct
La.
Elizabeth
into
Spaine
:
The
Duke
of
Montpensier
was
furnished
with
the
gouernment
of
Touraine
,
but
they
appointed
Chauigny
to
be
his
Lieutenant
,
with
such
authoritie
,
that
the
Prince
had
onely
the
title
:
The
Constable
had
the
gentle
thumpe
,
and
among
other
trauerses
lost
the
office
of
Great-maister
,
which
wound
was
afterward
renewed
in
the
controuersie
for
the
countie
of
Dampmartin
,
which
Frauncis
of
Lorraine
Cessionary
of
Rambures
pretended
to
carrie
away
.
The
court
beeing
thus
become
a
widow
of
the
Princes
of
the
blood
,
and
naked
of
the
brauest
of
the
French
knights
,
the
Guysians
began
to
build
vp
their
houses
with
the
decay
of
many
other
,
yea
in
such
sorte
as
they
spared
neyther
freend
nor
foe
,
Papist
nor
Protestant
,
spirituall
goodes
nor
temporall
:
witnesse
the
Countie
of
Nantueil
,
and
the
chiefe
benefices
of
the
Cardinall
of
Lenoncourt
,
a
frend
to
their
family
:
witnesse
the
goods
of
the
Marquise
of
Neelle
,
&
of
the
Lord
of
Grignan
,
the
castle
of
Meudon
,
the
house
of
Marchais
,
&
the
land
of
Cheureus
:
witnesse
the
Monkes
of
Monstier
▪
endé
,
whom
the
Cardinall
thrust
out
,
&
burned
al
the
titles
of
their
church
for
the
enriching
of
his
house
of
Ginuille
:
witnesse
the
Storier
of
S.
Disier
,
whom
he
caused
to
be
burned
for
a
Lutherian
,
notwithstanding
,
by
the
testimonie
of
all
the
country
,
hee
went
ordinarily
to
Masse
,
so
as
the
poore
man
might
say
as
Quintus
Aurelius
,
who
finding
himselfe
in
the
roule
of
those
who
by
placards
were
banished
,
notwithstanding
he
neuer
medled
with
the
Helas
my
house
at
Alle
killeth
me
.
Shall
I
come
to
the
conclusion
and
last
acte
of
the
Tragedy
?
Shall
I
open
a
wound
which
yet
bleedeth
?
Things
grew
to
that
passe
,
that
by
the
Cardinall
and
his
brother
all
lawes
&
good
decrees
were
taken
down
:
the
Parliaments
of
the
Realme
dishonored
,
and
euery
way
derided
:
the
people
choked
with
tyranny
:
the
Prince
of
Condé
imprisoned
at
Orleance
for
fellonie
,
falsly
inuented
,
as
afterward
it
is
declared
by
a
decree
of
the
priuie
councell
,
dated
the
13.
of
March
1560.
and
by
two
decrees
of
the
court
of
Parliament
:
the
La.
of
Roye
imprisoned
at
S.
Germaines
in
Laye
:
the
Constables
house
appointed
to
ruine
and
subuersion
:
his
nephew
the
L.
d'Andelot
discharged
of
the
office
of
Coronell
of
the
French
footmen
:
the
Cardinall
of
Arminacke
banished
the
court
:
the
Vidame
of
Chartres
miserably
detained
in
the
Bastille
:
the
prisons
full
of
poore
innocents
:
the
skaffolds
red
with
blood
:
the
gibbets
ordinarie
:
fiers
kindled
:
all
was
but
destruction
and
desolation
:
but
robbing
of
houses
:
proclamations
of
banishments
:
and
most
cruell
executions
:
in
peace
we
bare
the
effects
of
a
bloody
warre
,
and
in
calme
and
faire
weather
the
face
of
Fraunce
was
horrible
and
fearefull
:
and
yet
do
we
suckle
vp
these
hangmen
with
our
blood
:
we
feed
them
with
our
goods
:
we
make
them
triumph
in
our
shame
,
and
to
them
onely
are
the
gates
of
honors
open
:
but
why
doo
we
not
rather
speake
as
did
Rabirius
by
his
aduocates
mouth
?
Grac●hus
(
said
he
)
would
rather
haue
suffered
1000.
most
cruell
deaths
,
then
haue
seene
the
hang
man
assistant
in
his
court
,
who
by
the
lawes
of
the
Censors
,
ought
to
haue
no
habitation
in
Rome
.
And
yet
is
the
hangman
,
as
the
minister
of
iustice
,
more
tollerable
then
these
,
who
in
their
bloody
executions
were
not
authorised
,
but
by
their
owne
ambition
,
whereto
they
had
so
smoothed
the
way
,
that
there
wanted
no
more
but
with
open
title
to
proclame
themselues
kings
.
For
,
to
giue
prouinces
and
the
treasury
:
to
make
lawes
,
&
to
breake
them
:
to
determine
of
warre
and
peace
:
to
giue
and
take
away
offices
:
to
send
embassages
:
and
in
all
things
to
haue
the
last
voice
,
was
common
among
them
:
what
then
did
they
want
more
then
the
name
,
annointing
,
and
crowne
?
hauing
also
laid
their
principall
plot
vpon
certaine
seditious
ministers
of
their
passions
,
they
drewe
apace
to
the
soueraignitie
,
if
God
,
euen
God
truly
,
the
preseruer
of
France
,
had
not
cast
a
blocke
in
their
way
anno
1560.
by
the
kinges
death
,
whose
name
they
made
their
buckler
to
the
destruction
of
himselfe
and
his
estate
:
and
vnder
whose
pretense
they
made
the
rampier
of
the
vnruly
effect
of
their
immoderate
passions
,
so
that
not
beeing
yet
throughly
fortified
with
all
things
necessary
for
their
purposes
,
they
stumbled
in
the
mid
way
,
and
their
affaires
suffered
a
chaunge
.
But
now
,
Oye
Frenchmen
,
looke
vpon
your
kinges
funeralles
:
his
body
without
any
pompe
or
solemnitie
was
conueied
by
Sansac
and
Brosse
to
S.
Denis
,
where
it
was
simply
buried
.
Blush
ye
Guysians
,
yea
for
shame
hide
your selues
,
when
you
heare
that
Hanniball
bestowed
honorable
funerals
vpon
the
Consul
Caius
Flaminius
,
whom
he
slew
at
the
lake
of
Peruse
:
that
Lucius
Cornelius
did
as
much
for
Hanno
the
generall
of
the
Carthagineans
,
and
Marcus
Antonius
vpon
his
enemy
Arcilaus
:
and
yet
you
without
any
pompe
doo
commit
to
the
earth
the
body
of
so
great
a
king
,
yea
of
that
king
that
raised
you
to
the
tipe
of
honor
.
Hide
,
hide
your selues
,
I
say
,
when
you
vnderstand
that
Alexander
spent
6.
millions
of
gold
vpon
the
funerals
of
Ephestion
,
and
yet
you
that
haue
beene
so
prodigall
of
the
common-wealth
in
your
owne
priuate
affaires
are
become
so
nigardly
in
matter
concerning
the
funerals
of
one
of
the
mightiest
monarckes
of
the
earth
.
The
Emperor
Augustus
euen
in
winter
time
came
from
Rome

King
Francis
the
second
thus
dead
did
for
a
time
choke
vp
,
not
their
euill
willes
but
theyr
practises
:
For
vnder
Charles
the
9.
although
they
endeuored
to
seed
in
him
a
marueilous
mistrust
of
his
subiectes
,
yet
began
the
estates
at
Orleance
to
taste
them
so
neere
,
and
to
go
about
to
make
them
spue
vp
the
treasures
that
they
had
swallowed
,
that
their
best
waywas
in
hast
to
folow
Tiberius
Gracchus
one
of
the
plagues
of
Rome
,
who
perceiuing
that
the
senate
were
framing
of
his
processe
strooke
saile
quietly
,
so
that
they
thought
it
best
to
ship
into
Lorraine
,
and
thence
into
Germany
,
where
they
promised
the
Princes
of
the
Empire
to
frame
themselues
to
the
confession
of
Ausbourg
,
which
the
Card.
openly
allowed
and
preached
in
the
towne
of
Sauerne
,
shewing
the
greater
testimonie
of
his
conuersion
by
the
rich
gifts
that
he
bestowed
vpon
Brentius
the
D.
of
Wittemberges
minister
,
wherein
these
ij
.
fugitiues
made
themselues
like
vnto
Theramenes
slipper
which
ferued
for
either
foote
.
But
what
?
the
hard
fortune
of
France
soone
after
,
called
them
againe
to
the
end
to
goe
forward
with
their
game
and
make
an
end
of
the
set
:
yea
it
placed
them
in
the
chiefest
degrees
,
contrary
to
the
good
example
of
the
ancients
,
who
shut
vp
the
gates
of
honour
against
such
as
yeelded
no
accompt
of
their
administration
:
vpon
which
ground
Diodetus
and
Aeschines
formed
their
complaint
against
Ctesipho
,
at
whose
instance
the
Athenians
had
bestowed
a
Crowne
of
gold
That
onely
they
had
changed
the
tyrant
,
but
were
not
discharged
from
tyrannie
.
Also
for
their
first
blowes
the
studied
to
feede
the
warre
that
was
hatched
in
their
fathers
and
vnckles
ambition
:
and
in
laps
of
time
,
namely
in
the
yeare
1571
the
kings
fauour
resembling
a
fayre
winde
,
the
first
of
these
three
blinded
with
his
good
fortune
,
and
neglecting
the
meanesse
of
his
race
,
presumed
so
farre
as
to
aspire
to
the
marriage
of
that
goodly
flower
of
France
,
Lady
Margaret
nowe
Queene
of
Nauarre
,
which
comming
to
the
knowledge
of
king
Charles
the
ninth
,
a
Prince
ielouse
of
the
honor
both
of
himselfe
and
of
his
bloud
,
hee
caused
the
Lord
great
Pryor
to
tell
him
,
that
if
he
pretended
to
branche
so
high
,
he
would
bring
him
so
low
,
that
hee
should
be
an
example
to
the
poste●●tie
:
yea
that
if
within
two
monethes
he
married
not
some
other
,
himselfe
would
dagger
him
with
his
owne
hands
.
These
threates
of
so
great
a
Prince
,
cooled
the
boyling
affections
of
this
Lo●raine
,
who
by
hys
iournies
togither
with
the
fauour
of
his
friends
so
well
acquited
himself
,
that
within
the
tearme
to
him
by
the
king
prescribed
,
hee
married
the
widowe
of
the
late
Lord
Prince
of
Porcian
:
as
also
since
his
second
brother
matched
with
the
widow
of
the
late
Lord
of
Mon●pesat
,
or
rather
they
both
married
the
great
goods
of
these
two
Ladies
,
thereby
to
set
a
couler
vpon
their
smalenesse
.
To
enter
into
the
discourse
of
those
tragedies
,
which
at
their
instance
were
played
during
the
raigne
of
king
Charles
the
ninth
,
were
to
refresh
a
wound
which
yet
bleedeth
to
freshly
:
and
who
can
without
teares
looke
vpon
our
France
so
tainted
in
bloud
,
cruelty
,
destruction
,
and
disloyaltie
?
In
the
ende
the
Cardinall
,
whose
life
full
of
discretion
stunck
euen
among
the
Anheistes
and
Epicures
,
ascending
into
Auignon
left
the
Triumuirat
of
his
nephewes
,
who
bring
formed
after
his
lore
,
haue
no
whit
belied
his
actions
,
not
so
much
as
to
admit
anie
companion
of
court
,
or
not
to
hate
those
in
whom
his
maiestie
had
fixed
his
affection
:
The
Lord
of
Ho
being
gotten
farre
into
the
Kinges
fauour
had
a
wry
looke
:
out
hee
so
well
husbanded
his
fortune
,
that
they
could
catch
no
hold
in
he
Lord
of
S.
Maigrin
did
they
mortally
push
with
their
hornes
,
yea
euen
vnder
the
gates
of
the
Lou●re
:
But
the
vicount
of
Riberac
hauing
for
the
●●eathes
of
the
Lords
of
Chelu
and
Maugiron
encurred
the
kinges
indignation
,
wounded
as
he
was
could
finde
no
better
sanct●●ie
then
the
house
of
the
Guyses
,
who
seemed
a
sufficiont
contrepoise
against
the
kings
authoritie
.
Afterwarde
,
because
the
late
Monsieur
was
a
troublesome
thorne
in
their
foote
,
they
framed
a
match
against
him
:
The
bloud
of
Salcedo
executed
at
Paris
yet
speaketh
,
and
the
truth
of
his
deposition
appeareth
plainely
in
these
commotions
.
What
is
it
not
therfore
,
that
as
occasions
haue
fallen
out
,
they
haue
not
enterprised
against
Fraunce
?
What
Prince
,
what
greatnes
haue
they
not
endeuored
to
vndermine
.
The
king
himselfe
,
of
whose
secrets
they
haue
made
a
traficke
,
haue
they
sold
to
the
Spanyard
,
as
flesh
to
the
shambles
,
and
vnder
couered
fire
still
drawing
against
him
,
they
haue
put
in
vre
whatsoeuer
wicked
inuentions
their
euill
angell
hath
to
them
presented
,
whereby
to
cause
their
passions
to
beare
swaye
,
if
not
in
calme
and
faire
weather
,
yet
during
the
tempest
,
amongst
the
blood
,
murder
,
crueltie
,
desolation
,
and
destruction
of
this
poore
estate
:
witnesse
a
Iesuite
of
Pont
à-Mousson
in
Lorraine
,
called
father
Claude
Mathew
,
who
neuer
did
good
but
in
weening
to
doo
euill
,
confect
in
wickednes
,
&
one
of
those
sacred
persons
spoken
of
at
Rome
in
this
Tribunary
law
;
He
shall
not
bee
accounted
a
manslear
,
who
by
the
decree
of
the
people
shall
haue
killed
a
hallowed
man
.
Witnesse
,
I
say
,
this
reuerend
,
this
sparke
of
sedition
,
this
spirit
of
Sathan
,
who
in
two
or
three
of
his
voyages
into
Italy
&
Spayne
,
hath
in●ited
the
Pope
,
king
Philip
,
and
the
Sauoyan
to
the
destruction
of
France
:
and
withall
you
Frenchmen
,
to
the
ende
to
vse
you
as
vipers
against
our
common
mother
,
to
make
you
bath
your selues
in
your
owne
bloud
,
to
change
your
curtesie
into
crueltie
,
your
fidelitie
into
disloyaltie
:
to
be
briefe
,
of
the
faire
face
of
Fraunce
to
make
a
horrible
and
fearefull
spectacle
of
death
,
to
conuert
her
body
into
a
graue
,
her
townes
into
churchyards
,
her
castles
into
broken
walles
,
her
fieldes
into
butcheries
,
her
trees
into
gibets
,
her
riuers
into
bloud
,
her
life
into
pitifull
,
horrible
,
and
fearefull
death
:
to
such
purposes
,
I
say
,
so
furious
,
tragicall
,
and
bloody
,
do
they
loud
and
shrill
sound
out
,
that
they
proceed
out
of
the
stocke
of
Charlemaine
,
and
that
euer
since
Lothair
,
our
kings
haue
their
tables
couered
through
the
vniust
vsurpation
of
Capet
,
&
with
the
expence
of
their
race
the
lawful
inheritour
of
this
crowne
.
Here
doo
I
desire
all
good
Frenchmen
to
marke
one
practise
of
Tarquine
the
proud
,
who
determining
to
rob
Seruius
Tullius
of
the
kingdome
of
Rome
,
began
by
bewitching
the
people
with
the
discourse
of
his
race
,
and
by
repeating
to
them
,
how
that
after
the
death
of
king
Tarquine
his
father
wofully
murdered
,
Seruius
had
ouerthwartly
practised
the
soueraigntie
:
so
that
the
fathers
lulled
on
sleepe
with
his
faire
words
,
&
the
youth
snared
with
the
presents
wherewith
he
laid
a
bridge
to
to
his
purposes
,
he
so
far
slacked
the
bridle
of
his
ambition
,
accompanied
with
rashnes
,
that
in
full
senate
seizing
vpon
Seruius
by
the
body
,
he
caried
him
out
of
the
chamber
,
&
cast
him
downe
the
staires
.
A
tragicall
&
pitifull
example
,
such
a
one
as
might
stand
Fraunce
in
stead
for
a
morning
wake
,
now
that
it
is
thus
baied
at
with
tempests
on
euery
side
:
but
particularly
the
king
,
whose
greatnes
with
like
tooles
as
that
wherewith
Seruius
was
ouerthrowne
,
they
now
vndermine
.
And
king
Clouys
vnderstanding
that
a
Lord
of
Artoys
named
Cannacare
,
puffed
vp
with
wealth
,
gaue
out
that
he
came
of
Clodio
the
hairy
,
&
so
was
lawfull
heire
of
the
crowne
,
being
not
only
quicke
of
hearing
,
but
also
ielous
of
his
greatnes
,
caused
that
sower
of
lies
,
&
al
his
progeny
to
be
rooted
out
.
In
the
meane
time
,
least
the
people
being
ticklish
&
itching
at
euery
new
deuise
,
should
suffer
themselues
to
be
led
away
with
the
perswasions
of
these
abusers
,
I
would
demaund
of
you
Lorraines
,
what
is
the
ground
of
your
pretended
right
?
you
say
that
Hugh
Capet
by
force
carried
away
the
crowne
from
Charles
of
Lorraine
,
vnckle
to
Lewis
the
5.
in
whom
the
race
of
Charlemain
ended
,
&
that
you
are
come
of
the
stocke
of
Charles
:
If
it
were
so
,
why
did
you
lately
make
the
card
.
of
Burbon
your
banner
,
as
he
that
was
fittest
to
succeed
in
this
realme
?
was
it
not
to
shew
that
you
could
not
agree
but
in
contrarieties
?
or
rather
to
imitate
the
wren
,
who
hearing
that
the
birds
made
a
match
who
shuld
be
first
in
heauen
,
hid
himself
vnder
the
eagles
wing
,
from
whence
he
crept
out
in
so
good
time
,
that
he
gat
the
title
of
king
?
you
say
that
Charles
of
Lorraine
had
but
one
sonne
,
named
Ottho
,
and
that
this
Ottho
had
but
a
daughter
.
We
haue
inough
of
this
one
distaffe
to
beat
you
withall
,
wee
,
I
say
,
who
are
freed
from
the
womens
gouernment
,
who
stoppe
not
vnder
the
empire
of
women
,
through
the
benefite
of
the
Salike
lawe
,
a
lawe
that
is
the
onely
oracle
of
France
,
bought
with
the
price
of
our
auncestors
bloud
,
with
the
destruction
of
our
townes
,
with
the
decay
of
our
houses
,
and
with
the
losse
of
two
wretched
battailes
Cressy
and
Poictiers
:
a
law
that
preserueth
vs
from
the
dominion
of
strangers
,
and
that
cutteth
off
all
forraine
fashions
and
kindes
of
life
,
which
long
since
had
filled
ours
with
bastardy
,
sith
it
is
much
easier
to
know
a
fault
in
nature
,
then
any
vnlikelines
betweene
the
Prince
and
the
subiect
,
as
saide
Theodorike
king
of
the
Gothes
in

to

Senate
of

.
But
because
the
enemies
of
this
Realme
,
and
among

our selues
do
reiect
this
so
holy
,
sacred
,
and
hitherto

of

Carlingues

But
vtterly
to
shut
vp
their
mouthes
,
we
doo
in
truth
say
,
that
our
kinges
are
of
the
bloud
of
Charlemaine
,
whose
race
hauing
fayled
in
seuen
geuerations
after
Capet
,
was
renued
in
the
person
of
king
Lewis

Earle

who
was

of

,
&
daughter
to
Charles
the
simple
,
from
whose
successors
Hugh
Capet
tooke
the
right
of
the
crowne
:
of

marriage
of

to

Lewis
,
out
of
whom
as
out
of
a
nursery
of
plants
,
are
issued
the
noble
families
of
Valois
and
Bourbon
.
Yea
I
will
say
more
,
namely
,
that
the
Guyses
cannot
be
of
the
branches
of
Charles
of
Lorraine
,
the

of
Lothair

of

,
&

neither
consequently
of
Charlemaine
:
for
it
is
but
120.
yeares
since
the
race
of
Vaudemont
tooke
lande
in
the
house
of
Lorraine
,
which
in
lesse
then
460.
yeares
hath
fallen
in
seuen
seuerall
families
,
namely
,
from
the
house
of
Charlemaine
into
the
house
of
Ardenne
1005.
from
the
house
of
Arden
into
the
house
of
Bologne
1089.
from
the
house
of
Bologne
into
the
house
of
Lembourg
,
from
the
house
of
Lembourg
into
the
house
of
Louuain
1106.
Then
in
tract
of
time
René
K.
of
Sicile
,
sonne
to
Lewis
of
Aniou
,
maryed
the
heire
of
Lorraine
,
by
whom
he
left
a
son
named
Iohn
,
&
a
daughter
named
Yolande
,
who
was
wife
to
Fredericke
of
Vaudemont
,
&
afterward
in
1464.
inherited
the
duchie
of
Lorraine
,
through
the
decease
of
her
nephew
Nicholas
her
brother
Iohns
onely
son
:
hereby
we
plainly
may
see
that
these
men
are
like
Esops
crow
,
who
disguised
her selfe
with
many
other
fowles
feathers
,
supposing
,
that
processe
of
time
might
serue
for
a
vaile
to
cloke
their
falshood
:
but
it
falleth
out
clean
contrary
,
for
truth
is
the
daughter
of
time
.
Then
persuading
themselues
that
their
Iesuit
(
a
fit
embassador
for
such
potentates
)
had
remoued
both
heauen
&
earth
,
as
well
in
Italy
as
in
Spaine
,
and
that
the
brute
of
their
false
discent
had
brought
such
effects
correspondent
to
their
desires
:
that
the
nobilitie
had
liked
to
lend
them
a
shoulder
,
and
the
people
had
bene
wholy
bent
to
their
passions
they
brake
the
impostume
:
and
to
the
end
to
free
themfelues
from
quietnesse
,
which
was
n●●some
vnto
them
,
and
to
stiffle
vp
all
peace
which
could
no
whit
delight
them
,
euen
as
an
infected
stomacke
that
can
rellish
no
good
food
,
they
did
of
late
put
in
practise
that
game
which
their
predecessors
had
kept
close
and
sealed
vp
,
and
so
began
to
play
at
thrust
out
with
the
king
.
True
it
is
,
that
for
feare
of
going
barefoot
in
so
thorny
a
way
,
they
haue
disguised
their
ambition
with
many
faire
pretences
,
and
to
colour
their
warres
they
haue
propounded
.
1.
The
rooting
our
of
heresie
.
2.
The
nomination
of
a
Catholike
successour
to
the
crowne
.
3.
The
reestablishing
of
the
church
in
her
a●ncient
liberties
.
4.
The
reintegration
of
the
nobility
into
their
former
dignity
.
5.
The
abasing
of
certaine
persons
whom
the
king
hath
exalted
.
6.
The
disburdening
of
the
third
estate
.
Propositions
which
in
outward
apparance
are
good
,
but
bad
in
effect
;
sweet
to
heare
of
,
but
of
bitter
tast
;
wholesome
without
,
but
heauy
within
.
For
the
two
first
are
forged
against
the
king
of
Nauarre
and
the
Prince
of
Condé
:
the
rest
haue
no
other
end
but
to
yeeld
the
king
odious
to
the
clergie
,
hated
of
the
nobilitie
,
and
to
pull
vpon
him
the
malice
of
the
people
.
This
is
the
rediest
way
that
they
can
finde
to
preuent
the
greatnesse
of
the
king
,
and
of
the
two
chief●
princes
of
the
lillie
,
and
to
make
that
agreement
with
vs
,
wherof
Demosthenes
warneth
the
Athenians
by
the
sheepe
and
the
wolues
,
that
willed
the
sheepe
if
they
would
haue
any
peace
with
them
to
deliuer
into
their
hands
all
the
mastifes
that
kept
them
.
Of
the
rest
of
the
Princes
,
they
weene
to
haue
a
great
peny-worth
,
which
all
will
prooue
but
dust
before
the
East
winde
,
and
snow
before
the
same
.
At
the
fame
of
these
propositions
,
as
trumpets
that
giue
warning
of
warres
,
manie
tooke
part
with
their
weapons
,
&
turned
themselues
to
the
fortune
of
these
deceiuers
,
abandoning
an
assured
peace
,
to
the
end
to
follow
a
doubtfull
warre
:
some
being
wonne
with
hope
of
amending
their
estate
:
others
hauing
alreadie
followed
the
warres
,
and
liued
according
as
the
libertie
of
the
time
and
impunitie
had
suffered
them
,
seeing
that
peace
tooke
from
them
all
meanes
of
spoile
.
Some
that
had
miserablie
consumed
al
their
goods
,
and
were
still
brauled
at
by
their
creditors
,
and
as
Those
whose
handes
were
died
in
blood
,
their
tongues
formed
to
lyes
,
their
soules
bent
to
all
wickednesse
,
their
consciences
corrupt
with
sundrie
misdeedes
,
such
as
vndermined
by
pouertie
,
were
assalted
by
iustice
:
Such
outcastes
(
I
say
)
did
willinglie
lend
their
hands
to
these
nouelties
:
and
yet
is
it
a
strange
matter
that
some
Gentlemen
durst
suffer
themselues
to
be
led
at
these
mens
pleasure
,
as
if
they
coulde
not
but
say
well
,
neither
themselues
do
well
but
in
obeying
of
them
:
A
pitifull
case
,
that
they
should
take
the
shadow
for
the
substance
,
smoke
for
fire
,
the
visage
and
lies
,
for
truth
,
without
considering
that
these
pretences
are
but
so
manie
snares
to
entrappe
them
,
that
they
do
wake
them
but
to
bring
them
on
sleepe
,
that
they
instruct
them
but
to
destroy
them
,
and
that
as
an
ancient
man
hath
said
,
There
can
bee
no
lust
cause
to
fight
against
their
countrie
.
But
who
could
choose
but
bee
bewitched
with
so
many
faire
pretences
?
Besides
that
these
fire
brands
haue
left
no
meanes
vnprooued
for
the
continuance
of
the
traficke
of
their
drifts
.
Furthermore
,
to
the
ende
to
keepe
their
confederates
in
breath
,
and
courage
,
and
to
make
others
willing
to
take
their
parts
,
they
promised
vs
mountaines
and
maruels
,
as
knowing
that
oftentimes
things
fained
,
yet
taken
for
true
,
are
of
great
force
in
warres
,
as
Marcus
Portius
,
when
the
Ilergetes
solicited
him
for
succour
:
The
earth
should
tremble
vnder
their
power
:
the
Spanish
weapons
did
alreadie
rattle
vpon
the
frontiers
:
The
Sauoyan
did
but
aske
Where
is
it
?
The
Pope
calleth
forth
the
diuels
,
giueth
them
the
enimies
bodies
,
they
carrie
them
away
,
they
cast
them
in
hell
:
The
Albanians
with
their
Iauelings
,
should
come
to
beate
downe
the
mountaines
,
and
to
put
all
to
fire
and
sword
:
And
as
the
Consull
Varo
said
of
Hanniball
,
These
Guisians
should
ende
the
warres
euen
the
first
day
that
they
shoulde
see
the
Protestants
,
calling
to
minde
the
foolish
enterprise
,
though
not
the
weake
successe
of
La
Brosse
,
who
in
the
yeare
of
our
Lorde
,
1559.
being
by
their
Father
and
Onckle
,
sent
with
the
Bishoppe
of
Amiens
into
Scotland
,
promised
in
one
moneth
to
driue
al
the
Lutherans
out
of
the
lande
:
But
the
Scottish
nobilitie
more
ielous
of
their
liberties
then
wee
,
shewed
him
that
he
reckoned
without
his
hoste
:
and
that
he
ought
not
to
sell
the
Beares
skinne
before
he
see
him
,
especially
considering
that
as
that
noble
Lacedemonian
captaine
Brasidas
saide
,
There
is
not
so
small
a
beast
,
but
is
able
to
saue
his
life
,
if
his
heart
woulde
serue
him
to
defende
himselfe
:
and
the
Consull
Paulus
Aemilius
maruelled
howe
anie
Captaine
could
aforehand
tell
what
was
to
bee
done
in
the
battell
,
before
he
had
seene
either
his
owne
armie
,
or
his
enimies
:
either
situation
of
the
place
,
or
nature
of
the
soile
:
for
his
part
he
would
take
no
other
counsaile
before
the
time
,
then
such
as
the
occasions
did
vsuallie
minister
to
man
,
and
not
man
to
occasions
.
And
indeede
these
Lorrains
doo
resemble
that
great
mountaine
,
which
after
manie
pangs
of
childbirth
brought
forth
but
a
mouse
.
Besides
,
what
promise
haue
they
performed
?
Of
the
Wisigothes
that
Those
that
plow
iniquitie
and
sow
malice
shall
reape
the
same
.
Your
pride
hath
kindled
the
torch
of
diuision
in
the
bowels
of
France
,
and
you
shall
proue
the
sa●ing
of
Salomon
true
,
Pride
goeth
before
destruction
,
and
highnesse
of
minde
before
desolation
.
You
haue
lift
vp
your
nose
against
the
king
,
and
shall
tast
of
the
wise
mans
saying
:
The
wrath
of
the
king
is
as
the
raging
of
the
Lion
,
and
hee
that
displeaseth
him
,
sinneth
against
his
owne
soule
.
You
haue
gone
about
to
bring
a
whole
storme
of
mischiefe
vpon
the
king
of
Nauar
,
and
the
prince
of
Conde
,
and
shall
shortly
,
to
your
costes
,
learne
this
Prouerbe
of
Salomon
:
He
that
casteth
a
stone
at
an
other
,
it
will
light
vpon
him selfe
.
You
shall
learne
that
you
haue
hasted
to
outrunne
your
shadowe
,
and
that
against
them
you
haue
doone
no
more
than
he
,
who

It
is
better
to
stay
the
execution
of
a
good
thing
,
then
to
execute
it
amisse●
yea
it
is
not
possible
(
sayth
Saint
Austen
)
for
the
counsaile
to
be
good
,
when
the
means
are
nought
:
at
the
least
,
that
which
is
to
be
commended
in
the
cause
,
is
to
be
reprooued
in
the
effect
.
Saule
was
desirous
to
knowe
the
issue
of
his
warre
with
the
Philistians
:
this
desire
of
it selfe
was
not
to
be
misliked
;
but
the
vnlawefull
meanes
that
he
vsed
,
made
it
to
stinke
.
These
Lorraines
,
these
great
bucklers
of
the
faith
,
would
cut
vp
the
roote
of
Heresie
,
this
will
is
not
badde
,
but
what
meanes
doo
they
vse
?
The
most
Christian
king
hauing
tryed
all
There
is
nothing
so
naturall
,
as
to
disolue
a
thing
with
the
same
meanes
wherewith
it
was
conioyned
.
And
yet
these
frebrands
,
of
their
own
priuate
authoritie
,
haue
trode
it
vnder
foote
to
the
great
contempt
of
the
king
,
oppression
of
the
people
,
and
destruction
of
this
estate
,
yea
contrarie
to
their
owne
so
solemne
oth
.
Is
it
then
a
good
beginning
,
to
roote
out
heresies
with
infringing
faith
?
Must
we
be
treacherous
to
our
neighbours
,
to
bee
true
to
God
?
Doth
the
true
spirit
of
religion
counsaile
vs
to
violate
publike
lawes
,
to
breake
oths
,
and
to
fill
a
whole
estate
with
murder
and
bloud
?
But
what
colour
do
not
the
suppostes
of
Satan
finde
to
set
a
countenance
vpon
their
actions
?
The
counsell
of
Constance
(
say
they
)
commandeth
vs
to
keepe
no
faith
with
the
enemies
of
the
faith
:
by
which
decree
,
Iohn
Hus
and
Hierome
of
Prague
were
condemned
to
death
,
and
the
Cardinall
S.
Tulian
,
w●
sent
as
legate
into
Hungarie
,
to
breake
the
treatie
of
peace
made
with
the
Turkes
.
Surely
they
haue
reason
,
as
if
we
should
confound
two
seuerall
questions
,
the
one
of
lawe
,
the
other
of
deede
:
If
we
must
breake
promise
with
infidels
,
it
is
a
point
of
lawe
,
for
the
decision
whereof
they
alleage
the
decree
of
this
Councell
,
the
execution
of
two
poore
Priestes
,
and
the
breach
of
peace
with
the
Turke
:
as
if
God
had
not
shewed
the
error
of
that
decree
,
by
the
tragicall
effectes
ensuing
:
for
the
bloud
of
these
two
Doctors
(
who
vnder
Sigismundes
safeconduct
came
to
that
Councel
as
to
a
schole
of
saluation
,
the
better
to
learne
,
if
better
they
might
be
taught
)
did
so
cry
for
vengeance
,
that
Zischa
a
meane
Gentleman
lift
vp
his
head
against
many
Potentates
,
a
handfull
of
nouices
in
matter
of
warre
,
against
many
thousands
of
old
beaten
souldiers
:
whose
courage
surmounted
the
number
.
On
the
other
side
the
king
of
Turkes
,
being
certified
of
the
breach
of
peace
,
did
put
on
Sigismundes
spurres
so
neere
,
that
hauing
giuen
him
sundrie
notable
checkes
,
he
finally
built
his
great
Empire
with
the
spoyles
of
Christendom
.
And
who
dooth
not
in
that
Councell
note
rather
the
cruell
furies
of
Antichrist
,
and
the
bloudie
passion
of
Nicholas
Abbot
of
Palerme
,
principall
author
of
that
decree
,
than
a
milde
inspiration
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
and
an
Apostolicall
voice
?
Or
what
Christian
Potentate
liked
of
that
resolution
,
when
Luther
was
by
the
Popes
Bull
denounced
an
Arch-hereticke
,
the
Emperour
Charles
the
fift
in
the
yeare
1519.
gaue
him
his
faith
to
come
to
the
dyet
at
Wormes
,
where
Eckius
building
vpon
the
decree
of
Constance
,
would
haue
bought
his
life
with
the
price
of
the
Emperours
faith
,
yea
euen
at
the
same
price
as
were
Iohn
Husses
,
and
Hieromes
of
Prague
.
But
there
was
no
Prince
but
detested
that
bloudie
minde
,
and
Luther
was
sent
safe
home
with
a
pasport
and
strong
hande
.
Since
that
time
the
Emperour
Charles
,
hauing
made
a
league
with
the
Soldan
of
Persia
,
and
king
Francis
the
first
with
the
Turke
,
layed
in
no
better
pledges
then
their
owne
faith
:
as
also
Iosua
when
the
Gabaonites
had
deceiued
him
,
woulde
not
neuerthelesse
violate
the
agreement
made
betweene
the
wrath
of
God
that
they
had
sworne
should
fall
vppon
them
.
Vpon
this
ground
did
Pope
Gregory
the
ninth
cut
off
al
those
generally
from
the
Church
,
that
willingly
did
breake
their
othes
.
These
examples
do
stande
with
reason
,
for
if
it
be
lawefull
to
parley
with
Infidels
,
it
is
also
necessarie
to
keepe
promise
with
them
:
otherwise
it
were
the
waye
to
quench
all
hope
of
reconciliation
:
besides
that
it
is
a
manifest
decision
,
That
those
among
whome
there
is
any
communitie
of
right
,
might
mutually
binde
them selues
one
to
an
other
.
For
this
cause
did
the
Romaynes
alwayes
make
a
conscience
of
breaking
their
faith
,
with
banished
persons
,
and
such
as
were
conuict
of
anie
notable
crime
,
because
by
the
saying
of
the
Lawyer
Martian
.
They
doe
participate
in
the
right
of
Nations
.
And
to
whome
Triphonius
willeth
wee
shoulde
restore
the
gage
and
pledge
,
in
respect
of
the
lawe
of
Nations
and
of
Nature
,
which
stretcheth
euen
vnto
theeues
,
to
whom
we
must
keepe
promise
as
did
Augustus
to
Crocotas
,
and
Dagobert
to
the
Bulgarian
robbers
that
were
scatered
all
ouer
Fraunce
:
No
lesse
to
such
as
haue
Wee
must
deceiue
children
with
small
bones
,
and
men
with
cates
.
Will
you
then
call
such
congregations
lawefull
councels
?
or
rather
the
diuelles
great
daies
,
the
assistes
of
Antichrist
,
and
the
generall
estates
of
the
enemies
of
the
faith
.
Moreouer
,
king
Francis
the
first
,
knowing
that
the
Councell
of
Trent
was
framed
onely
for
the
priuate
profite
of
some
,
and
not
for
the
Christian
common
wealth
,
protested
by
the
mouth
of
his
Ambassadour
the
Abbot
of
Bellozane
,
that
neyther
hee
,
neyther
anye
of
his
realme
should
be
bound
by
the
decrees
of
the
same
counsell
.
The
like
did
Henrie
the
second
,
vppon
the
support
of
the
authoritie
of
al
his
parliaments
,
who
euermore
withstood
the
decrees
wouen
at
Trent
,
as
being
of
no
force
and
abusiue
.
But
the
K.
of
Nauar
hath
his
more
particular
exceptions
:
he
is
a
soueraigne
K.
and
one
of
the
auncientest
,
yea
the
fourth
in
the
degree
of
the
kings
of
Christendome
,
yet
was
he
not
called
to
this
councel
,
&
so
consequently
there
can
be
no
default
in
him
,
for
as
saith
Harmogenian
.
Hee
is
a
contumaxe
,
who
hauing
had
three
summons
or
one
peremptorie
day
The
sentences
denounced
against
the
absent
that
haue
not
bin
lawfully
summoned
,
can
haue
no
force
in
the
matter
iudged
.
Yea
in
ciuill
causes
,
the
party
absent
is
ordinarely
restored
:
much
rather
then
in
criminal
causes
,
considering
that
as
the
lawyer
Paul
saith
,
We
ought
to
be
more
enclined
to
absolue
then
to
condemne
.
For
this
cause
would
not
the
Emperor
Valerian
permit
the
determining
of
the
processe
of
the
partie
absent
,
being
burdened
with
trespasses
:
but
that
an
inuentorie
being
taken
of
his
goods
,
he
should
be
summoned
to
purge
himself
of
such
crimes
,
as
he
was
charged
withall
.
These
circumstances
not
obserued
in
the
Tridentine
counsell
do
make
it
void
,
as
also
the
protestations
of
our
kings
,
and
the
parliaments
of
this
realme
,
take
from
it
al
strength
&
beauty
:
what
reasons
then
haue
we
to
conuince
these
protestants
of
heresie
?
Where
they
confesse
not
the
bishop
of
Rome
to
be
vniuersall
,
they
say
S.
Gregory
taught
that
it
was
a
prophane
name
,
sacrilegious
and
a
foregoing
of
if
he
that
is
named
vniuersall
stumbleth
,
the
whole
Church
falleth
.
They
doo
also
alledge
the
3.
Councell
of
Carthage
,
wherein
it
was
forbidden
that
any
shuld
be
called
Prince
of
bishops
.
these
three
things
The
blood
is
water
,
This
is
my
body
,
and
The
stone
was
Christ
are
spoken
figuratiuely
,
by
signe
,
and
by
signification
.
Let
vs
reiect
that
which
Tertullian
writeth
against
Iesus
Christ
hauing
taken
bread
and
broken
it
to
his
disciples
,
made
it
his
body
by
saying
,
This
is
my
body
,
that
is
to
say
,
the
signe
of
my
bodie
.
Let
vs
correct
Ambrose
:
Like
as
in
baptisme
thou
hast
receiued
the
similitude
of
death
,
euen
so
hast
thou
also
in
this
sacrament
dronke
the
similitude
of
the
pretious
bloud
of
Christ
.
Where
as
they
bee
so
grosse
that
they
cannot
comprehend
purgatorie
,
let
vs
prooue
vnto
them
,
that
the
bloud
of
our
Lord
is
not
sufficient
to
purge
vs
from
our
sinnes
:
Let
vs
plainely
shewe
them
the
name
or
doctrine
of
Purgatorie
in
the
scripture
,
and
reiect
this
place
of
Chrisostome
.
When
we
craue
mercie
,
we
do
it
to
the
end
not
to
be
examined
of
our
sinne
,
to
the
ende
not
to
be
dealt
with
according
to
the
rigor
of
iustice
:
to
the
ende
all
punishment
may
cease
,
for
where
there
is
mercie
,
there
resteth
no
farther
torture
,
examination
,
extremitie
or
paine
.
For
eating
flesh
in
Lent
they
do
it
,
say
they
,
by
the
permission
of
Pope
Eleutherius
:
by
the
authoritie
That
hee
durst
freely
eat
flesh
in
lent
,
because
he
was
a
Christian
.
In
that
they
adorne
not
their
temples
with
sundrie
pictures
and
images
,
It
is
,
say
they
,
because
Athanasius
thus
crieth
out
against
the
Gentiles
.
Whie
come
yee
not
to
the
knowledge
of
God
by
the
true
creatures
,
rather
then
by
shadowes
and
remembrances
?
It
is
because
they
credite
the
saying
of
Lactance
Firmian
:
That
God
,
whose
spirite
and
power
is
dispersed
al
ouer
,
can
not
bee
absent
,
and
therefore
that
the
image
is
superfluous
:
It
is
because
they
be
tyed
to
this
place
of
Augustine
.
The
first
bringers
in
of
Images
,
tooke
the
feare
of
God
out
of
the
world
,
and
augmented
error
.
If
their
ministers
marry
,
they
do
it
because
we
say
that
marriage
is
a
sacrament
,
and
the
ministers
of
the
church
ought
to
participate
in
euery
sacrament
:
they
doo
it
because
S.
Ambrose
saith
,
Let
no
man
be
restrained
,
lest
while
we
forbid
him
a
thing
lawfull
,
he
falleth
to
vnlawfull
:
They
do
it
,
because
in
Euseb.
they
find
that
That
he
dare
not
prefer
S.
Iohns
virginity
before
Abrahams
marriage
.
They
do
it
because
Pope
Pius
said
,
that
for
good
cause
they
had
taken
mariage
from
priestes
,
but
for
greater
cause
they
ought
to
restore
it
:
They
doo
it
least
men
should
haue
occasion
,
with
That
God
hath
taken
awaie
sonnes
from
Priests
,
but
the
diuell
hath
giuen
them
Nephenes
.
As
for
other
points
in
controuersie
,
if
we
deepely
and
fully
consider
of
them
,
we
shall
finde
that
they
consist
rather
in
outward
ceremonies
of
the
church
then
in
substance
of
doctrine
,
which
is
not
cause
sufficient
to
denounce
them
heretikes
:
for
heresie
hath
relation
to
the
substantiall
points
of
faith
,
not
to
the
outward
ceremonies
.
But
howsoeuer
it
be
,
by
the
order
of
the
common
and
ancient
decrees
,
they
cannot
be
accounted
heretikes
before
they
haue
bin
admonished
by
sundrie
synodes
&
iudged
by
a
councell
:
whereupon
Pope
Gregorie
the
seuenth
,
writeth
to
the
Princes
of
Germanie
concerning
the
excommunication
of
the
Emperor
Henry
the
fourth
:
thus
:
We
haue
sought
to
bring
him
to
repentance
,
but
to
our
faire
songs
he
hath
lent
the
adders
eare
.
Also
Pope
Innocent
the
third
,
speaking
of
heretikes
,
saith
,
If
a
bishop
with
his
chapter
haue
condemned
any
man
of
heresie
,
let
him
be
accursed
.
He
must
therfore
be
iudged
before
he
be
condemned
,
and
heard
before
he
bee
I
will
giue
them
a
new
hart
to
walke
in
my
commandements
.
As
it
fell
out
in
the
time
of
the
emperor
Theodosius
,
who
by
meanes
of
a
councel
that
he
gathered
togither
at
Constantinople
,
reduced
to
the
knowledge
of
the
truth
an
infinite
number
whom
the
heresies
of
Arrius
,
Nouatus
&
Macedonius
had
seduced
.
It
is
not
therfore
inough
to
say
that
the
ancient
councels
condemn
heresies
,
but
we
must
haue
new
,
to
conuert
heretikes
:
He
erreth
in
faith
,
that
calleth
not
heretikes
from
error
.
So
we
find
in
the
decrees
that
the
ancients
celebrated
the
councels
from
5.
yeares
to
5.
&
from
10.
yeres
to
10.
since
the
vniuersall
crowne
of
Basill
.
Neither
is
it
sufficient
to
hold
one
councell
for
the
reclaiming
of
heretikes
to
the
vnion
of
the
church
,
but
for
so
godly
a
woorke
they
should
not
spare
for
two
or
three
.
Saint
Ambrose
was
not
content
that
the
Arrians
had
sundry
times
beene
conuict
of
heresie
:
but
that
seeing
them
spring
vp
againe
in
France
and
Italy
,
in
an
assembly
of
Bishops
at
Aquilee
,
hee
disputed
against
Palladinus
,
who
was
infected
with
the
same
heresie
.
And
that
wise
Emperour
Theodosius
,
notwithstanding
the
Nicene
councell
,
wherein
the
Arrians
,
Nouatians
,
and
Macedonians
had
beene
condemned
,
caused
them
to
bee
called
to
the
generall
assembly
at
Constantinople
.
According
to
these
examples
we
cannot
find
any
speedier
way
to
preuent
the
pretended
heresie
of
the
Protestants
,
then
by
calling
a
councel
:
they
craue
it
,
let
them
haue
it
:
they
would
lay
downe
their
reasons
,
let
them
be
heard
:
they
would
learne
,
let
them
be
taught
:
they
seeke
light
,
let
them
haue
it
:
yea
,
if
they
stand
in
doubt
,
let
them
be
assured
:
if
they
be
not
assured
,
let
vs
goe
to
them
,
let
vs
dispute
,
let
vs
endeuour
to
take
away
the
causes
of
their
diuision
.
Hereof
are
we
not
without
examples
,
for
when
the
Donatists
infected
Africa
with
their
wicked
doctrine
,
and
that
they
practised
all
kinds
of
crueltie
against
the
Catholikes
,
a
great
number
of
Christian
Bishops
assembled
togither
,
and
besought
them
to
grant
them
time
and
place
to
dispute
,
and
through
a
frendly
conference
to
root
out
their
diuision
:
then
if
the
Protestants
,
beeing
vrged
to
agreement
,
doo
nourish
debate
:
if
they
shut
their
eyes
against
the
light
,
then
let
the
church
vse
her
authoritie
and
power
:
but
if
ourselues
in
lieu
of
instructing
doo
destroy
:
if
in
lieu
of
mitigating
we
doo
make
more
eager
:
if
for
health
we
minister
death
:
if
in
the
chayre
of
iustice
,
clemencie
,
and
truth
,
we
preach
murder
,
bloud
,
and
slaughters
,
are
not
our selues
the
fire-boxes
of
sedition
,
the
trumpets
of
Sathan
,
the
soldiours
of
Antichrist
,
and
the
enemies
of
the
Catholike
church
?
And
yet
these
firebrands
,
without
other
order
of
law
,
would
haue
vs
to
condemne
the
Protestants
for
heretikes
,
and
euen
at
the
first
to
begin
against
them
with
treason
,
disloyaltie
,
and
periury
:
and
of
the
father
of
Fraunce
they
seeke
to
make
an
executioner
of
Frenchmen
:
of
our
most
mercifull
king
,
a
bloody
tyrant
,
a
Phalaris
,
a
Busiris
,
who
should
be
blind
at
the
teares
,
deafe
at
the
lamentations
,
and
inexorable
at
the
most
humble
petitions
of
his
obedient
and
afflicted
subiectes
.
Wherein
therefore
doo
not
these
mad
beastes
resemble
the
cursed
Bertaire
,
who
possessing
the
will
of
his
maister
king
Thierry
,
diswaded
him
from
yeelding
to
the
prayers
,
lamentations
,
and
teares
of
the
poore
Frenchmen
,
who
,
as
men
born
to
beare
the
blame
,
or
thrust
forward
with
the
calamitie
of
the
time
,
were
banished
out
of
their
country
?
But
God
,
whose
helpe
,
as
a
matter
worthie
his
mercie
and
our
hope
,
we
doo
craue
,
will
raise
vp
some
Pepins
against
these
infamous
Bertaires
.
In
the
meane
time
,
ye
Frenchmen
,
let
vs
awake
,
and
let
vs
not
haue
eyes
to
be
blind
,
or
vaines
and
sinewes
to
be
filled
with
lethargy
,
neither
let
vs
account
the
bloody
murderers
of
Frenchmen
to
be
partakers
of
the
French
church
.
If
not
,
of
necessitie
,
we
must
by
armes
set
to
the
last
helpe
for
this
quarrell
for
religion
,
who
may
better
then
my
lords
the
Princes
of
the
bloud
,
that
yet
are
not
departed
out
of
the
bosome
of
the
catholike
church
?
who
rather
then
these
noble
&
religious
children
of
S.
Lewis
,
whose
faith
neuer
came
in
suspect
?
who
may
,
I
say
,
better
then
they
,
take
in
hande
the
thunder
,
the
lightening
,
&
the
three tined
forke
,
to
disperse
all
heresies
?
Next
to
these
Princes
,
what
surer
piller
,
what
stronger
buckler
can
our
church
haue
,
then
that
wise
Fabius
,
that
notable
Scipio
,
the
L.
Marshal
of
Montmorency
?
And
yet
haue
none
of
these
bene
so
much
as
called
to
this
league
:
for
although
they
be
Catholikes
,
yet
be
they
not
good
Catholikes
after
the
maner
of
the
leaguers
,
that
is
,
ambitious
,
trecherous
,
cruel
&
bloody
:
notwithstanding
they
be
euen
thunderbolts
in
war
,
yet
are
they
no
good
warriers
as
the
world
goeth
,
I
meane
,
enemies
to
peace
,
blinded
with
ambition
,
starued
after
goods
,
thirsty
after
bloud
&
void
of
all
humanitie
.
For
whilest
the
Pope
auctoriseth
the
Guisians
,
&
giueth
the
spoile
of
the
K.
of
Nauarre
&
Prince
of
Condies
goodes
,
he
practiseth
not
the
commandement
of
Iesus
Christ
:
Goe
forth
and
preach
,
the
kingdome
of
God
is
at
hand
.
It
is
an
other
lesson
then
S.
Paule
teacheth
,
saying
:
The
armors
of
our
warfare
are
not
carnall
,
but
mightie
in
the
Lord
,
to
bring
all
knowledge
to
the
obedience
of
Christ
.
He
followeth
Let
the
bishops
be
ministers
,
not
maisters
:
for
truth
cannot
be
ioyned
with
force
.
The
persecuted
to
follow
Christ
,
the
persecutor
Antichrist
.
He
is
deafe
to
heare
the
doctrine
of
Lactance
:
Religion
must
be
defended
,
not
by
slaying
,
but
by
offering
to
be
slaine
,
not
by
crueltie
,
but
by
curtesie
,
not
by
wickednesse
,
but
by
faith
.
He
giueth
place
to
the
complaints
of
Hilary
:
What
meaneth
this
(
saith
he
)
that
the
Priests
by
prisons
are
forced
to
feare
God
?
that
the
people
beeing
bound
are
committed
to
warde
among
the
chayned
?
and
the
Virgins
stripped
naked
to
suffer
paine
?
Finally
,
he
taketh
an
other
course
then
God
teacheth
in
the
3.
of
Ieremy
,
speaking
vnto
him
:
Hast
thou
not
seene
that
this
rebell
Israel
hath
done
?
she
hath
gone
a
whoring
into
euery
high
mountaine
,
&
into
euery
greene
tree
:

Returne

thou
disobedient

I
will
not

to

to

as
the

doth
,
yea
euen
in

not

but

To

the
King
of
Nauarre
and
Prince
of
Condé
,
in
the
yeare
1572.
being
brought
home
into
the
bosome
of
our
church
,
do
seeme
in
ther
letters
to
the
Pope
,
dated
at
Paris
the
third
of
October
,
to
confesse
that
before
they
had
bene
detained
in
the
snare
of
error
,
is
as
much
as
to
be
blind
in
the
circumstances
of
the
time
and
place
:
they
were
at
Paris
amongst
their
enemies
,
who
barked
at
their
liues
,
and
were
dyed
red
in
the
bloud
of
their
seruants
,
yea
euen
in
the
time
that
the
Frenchman
was
the
cruell
butcher
&
bloody
murderer
of
Frenchmen
:
that
the
father
cut
his
sons
throat
,
that
the
mother
slew
the
daughter
,
that
the
brother
dispatched
the
sister
,
one
neighbour
killed
another
,
cruelty
triumphed
ouer
clemencie
,
and
rage
ouer
pitie
:
who
then
at
such
a
time
with
a
trembling
hand
would
not
haue
written
whatsoeuer
his
enemies
had
endited
?
But
in
such
cases
the
lawes
of
the
Emperors
,
and
edicts
of
the
auncient
Pretors
doo
declare
all
such
actions
none
,
as
if
they
had
not
beene
:
for
that
is
not
called
consent
that
we
force
him
to
doo
that
is
depriued
of
his
power
:
for
this
cause
doth
Pope
Alexander
the
3.
will
haue
dominion
ouer
the
nations
,
but
it
shall
not
be
so
among
you
:
Feed
(
saith
S.
Peter
)
the
flocke
of
Christ
,
not
as
hauing
dominion
ouer
their
heritage
,
but
so
as
you
may
be
an
example
to
the
flocke
.
Iustinian
In
spirituall
cases
:
and
S.
Bernard
speaking
to
Pope
Eugenius
,
saith
:
It
is
euident
that
the
Apostles
are
forbidden
all
Lordship
:
how
therefore
darest
thou
vsurpe
the
title
of
an
Apostle
in
playing
the
Lord
,
or
play
the
Lord
while
thou
sittest
in
the
Apostolike
sea
?
In
olde
time
also
the
Priests
iudged
of
heresies
,
but
not
of
the
punishment
of
heretikes
:
which
was
the
reason
that
S.
Paule
was
brought
before
Festus
That
he
had
no
lesse
care
of
religion
then
of
his
owne
life
:
and
of
whom
we
read
17.
constitutions
concerning
ecclesiasticall
discipline
.
As
also
our
kings
vppon
the
like
argument
haue
builded
many
goodly
decrees
,
namely
Charlemaine
,
and
Charles
the
7.
who
the
13.
of
Iuly
1438.
published
the
Pragmaticall
sanction
at
Paris
:
&
indeed
,
as
saith
Isidore
,
Emperors
and
Kings
haue
the
first
degree
in
the
Church
,
whose
nurses
they
are
,
according
as
Esay
saith
chap.
49.
which
was
the
cause
that
in
olde
time
they
had
the
greatest
functions
in
the
Church
,
as
commanding
of
fasts
and
calling
of
councels
,
&c.
That
Boniface
the
1.
besought
the
Emperor
Honorius
to
ordeine
that
they
might
lawfully
proceed
to
the
election
of
the
Popes
of
Rome
:
that
Pelagius
the
1.
sware
in
the
hands
of
Ruffin
,
Childebert
K.
of
France
his
embassador
:
that
Leo
the
4.
protested
obedience
vnto
the
lawes
of
Lothair
,
and
that
Gregory
entituleth
himselfe
the
vnworthy
seruant
of
Maurice
.
But
since
the
Popes
gat
a
tast
of
worldly
affaires
,
they
haue
endeuored
to
satisfie
themselues
at
the
costes
of
the
authoritie
of
Kinges
and
Emperours
,
whom
,
notwithstanding
that
according
to
S.
Paule
,
euery
soule
ought
to
bee
subiect
to
them
,
they
haue
gone
about
to
bring
in
subiection
to
the
crosse
of
Rome
,
whereto
their
enterprises
haue
had
so
good
successe
,
that
they
haue
made
the
kings
of
England
,
Arragon
,
Naples
,
Sicill
,
Ierusalem
,
Poland
,
Sardinia
,
Corsica
,
and
the
Canaries
tributaries
to
the
Pope
:
wherupon
the
Clergie
themselues
,
considering
that
they
had
girded
too
far
into
temporall
iurisdiction
,
&
that
oftentimes
their
ambition
opened
the
gate
into
sundrie
schismes
,
were
forced
to
bridle
them
,
and
the
Emperors
to
restraine
their
insolencies
,
as
the
Patricians
were
wont
to
doo
at
Rome
,
who
,
as
witnesseth
Liuie
,
Thought
good
that
the
Salians
and
Flamines
,
should
without
farther
power
and
authoritie
tende
to
their
sacrifices
onelie
.
Thus
in
the
yeare
1046.
the
christian
bishops
seing
the
wound
which
the
church
receiued
through
the
ambition
of
Benet
the
ninth
,
Because
thou
thorough
disloialtie
and
periurie
hast
opened
the
gate
of
honor
:
that
the
Church
of
God
being
tormented
with
thy
newe
inuentions
,
as
with
a
vehement
storme
,
fleeteth
in
danger
:
and
that
thy
life
is
tainted
with
manie
villanies
:
wee
shake
off
the
yoke
of
obedience
,
that
hitherto
we
haue
lent
thee
,
and
as
openly
thou
giuest
out
that
thou
accountest
none
of
vs
to
be
bishops
,
so
doo
not
we
take
thee
to
be
Apostolicall
.
Besides
this
Councell
,
the
Emperor
Henrie
the
fourth
,
summoned
another
at
Bresse
,
anno
1080.
wherein
Gregorie
the
seuenth
,
was
againe
deposed
and
Wigibert
Archbishop
of
Rauenna
,
substituted
in
his
place
:
The
same
Emperor
also
anno
1083.
tooke
Rome
,
and
Gregorie
fledde
to
Salerne
,
either
Innocent
should
plucke
the
royall
diademe
▪
from
Philip
,
or
Philip
the
Apostolicall
mitre
from
Innocent
.
But
in
the
end
all
was
appeased
by
the
Popes
Nephewes
marriage
with
the
Emperors
daughter
.
In
processe
of
time
,
Fredericke
the
second
,
to
whome
the
Church
was
much
bound
,
as
wel
for
raising
an
army
anno
1222.
against
the
Sarazens
in
Sicill
,
Calabria
and
Pouille
,
as
also
These
Popish
insolencies
had
no
better
entertainement
in
France
then
in
Germanie
:
for
in
the
yeare
1198.
when
this
realme
was
by
the
Councell
of
Diion
accursed
,
because
the
king
Philip
Augustus
,
reiecting
Engelberge
sister
to
Cain
king
of
Denmarke
,
had
married
Anne
daughter
to
the
D.
of
Morauia
,
the
king
appealed
to
his
swoords
point
,
and
sharpely
punished
those
that
were
assistant
at
that
Councell
:
so
that
the
Pope
perceiuing
that
so
great
a
Monarch
woulde
not
bee
handled
without
a
snafle
,
endeuored
to
appease
him
,
and
in
the
yeare
1201.
called
a
Councell
at
Soissons
,
where
by
orderly
exhortations
for
bishoppes
,
the
king
tooke
againe
his
wife
Engelberge
.
But
Philippe
the
faire
proceeded
farther
:
for
at
that
time
when
Pope
Boniface
the
eight
had
accursed
the
realme
,
and
abandoned
the
same
as
a
pray
to
the
Emperor
Albert
of
Austrich
,
in
the
presence
of
his
princes
and
councell
,
he
caused
the
Bull
to
be
burned
,
and
sent
into
Italie
Noguarel
with
an
armie
,
&
a
decree
of
seizure
of
bodie
,
by
vertue
wherof
hee
tooke
the
Pope
prisoner
.
Also
Lewes
the
twelfth
,
whose
greatnesse
the
Priest
of
Rome
had
often
bayed
at
,
but
neuer
could
bite
,
perceiuing
that
Iulius
the
second
followed
the
traine
of
his
predecessors
insolencies
,
&
that
hauing
excommunicated
him
&
his
subiects
,
hee
stirred
vp
the
Englishmen
,
Germaines
&
Spaniards
against
him
,
did
openly
by
a
decree
of
his
Parliament
,
rent
the
Bull
of
introduction
,
and
imprison
the
bringers
thereof
:
and
then
by
the
aduise
of
the
French
Bishops
,
assembled
at
Tours
,
about
the
yeare
1511.
did
resolue
,
by
armes
to
withstand
the
Popes
tyrannie
,
who
since
from
time
to
time
hath
still
practised
some
mischiefe
against
France
,
and
as
Martin
du
Bellay
in
the
second
booke
of
his
remembrances
testifieth
,
Pope
Leo
hearing
that
the
French-men
vnder
the
conduct
of
the
Lorde
of
Lautree
,
had
lost
Millanine
,
anno
1521.
conceiued
such
ioy
thereof
,
that
he
died
suddenlie
.
Oh
glorious
death
of
one
of
the
Apostles
successors
!
O
the
holy
father
,
who
doth
not
onely
delight
in
the
mischiefe
that
he
committeth
,
but
also
doth
euen
bathe
himselfe
in
that
harme
that
he
doth
not
!
Since
that
this
Popish
ambition
hath
of
ouerflowed
all
Christendome
,
that
the
Church
is
at
this
present
vtterlie
disfigured
:
witnesse
the
kingdomes
of
England
,
Scotland
,
Denmarke
,
and
Sueden
,
the
seculars
of
the
holie
Empire
,
a
great
part
of
Poland
and
Boheme
,
the
chiefe
Cantons
of
the
Zwitzers
,
and
many
great
townes
and
communalties
of
Germany
that
haue
played
bankerout
with
the
catholike
romish
religion
:
what
thinkest
thou
,
O
thou
Romish
priest
,
howe
goest
thou
to
wrecke
,
and
how
corrupt
is
thy
life
!
Is
thy
holy
water
now
turned
to
bloud
?
Hast
thou
no
other
holy
water
stocke
than
poore
France
,
rent
in
peeces
with
so
many
mischiefes
?
Is
the
knife
the
holy
water
sprinkle
?
Be
the
harquebushes
S.
Peters
kayes
?
Is
thy
courtesie
crueltie
?
and
thy
peace
warre
?
dost
thou
saly
for
to
heale
?
dost
thou
scatter
to
gather
togither
againe
?
dost
thou
prouoke
,
to
appease
?
and
pul
down
,
for
to
build
againe
?
My
kingdome
is
not
of
this
world
,
sayth
Christ
,
and
yet
thou
wilt
lift
vp
thy
crosse
aboue
scepters
,
and
thy
miter
ouer
diademes
.
Nourish
(
sayth
he
)
peace
and
charitie
,
and
thou
sendest
thy
bulles
post
abroad
to
sowe
debate
among
those
that
be
at
one
!
He
sheweth
thee
the
heauens
,
but
thou
beholdest
the
earth
:
he
giueth
thee
the
charge
ouer
soules
,
but
thou
wilt
master
the
bodie
.
Thou
hast
beene
hurt
,
and
yet
seekest
to
refresh
thy
wound
.
For
if
any
heresie
springeth
vp
in
the
worlde
,
thou
shouldest
deale
with
the
mind
,
not
with
the
goods
,
neyther
shouldest
thou
fight
with
kniues
,
but
with
reason
.
If
we
vse
not
to
apply
to
the
body
the
medicines
fit
for
the
soule
,
why
shouldest
thou
apply
to
the
soule
those
that
appertaine
to
the
body
:
like
disease
,
like
medecine
:
like
wound
,
like
oyntment
:
like
occasion
,
like
remedie
.
To
bodily
wounds
,
belong
bodily
medicines
:
and
to
spiritual
diseases
,
spirituall
remedies
.
To
seeke
therefore
by
force
to
root
out
heresies
,
is
to
cure
the
soule
by
the
bodie
:
or
rather
to
slay
and
not
to
heale
:
to
vexe
,
not
to
comfort
:
by
darkenesse
to
shewe
light
,
and
by
crueltie
to
teach
courtesie
.
If
thou
wilt
not
destroy
,
thou
must
vse
instruction
:
to
instruct
,
thou
must
subuert
;
to
subuert
,
thou
must
conuince
,
and
to
conuince
reason
is
necessarie
.
Is
it
reason
to
passe
to
condemnation
before
proofe
?
to
commit
the
stewes
to
the
reformation
of
harlots
,
and
the
execution
of
sentence
to
the
partie
adiudged
?
To
the
generall
reasons
of
this
discourse
the
king
of
Nau.
and
prince
of
Conde
do
adde
particulat
exceptions
.
As
that
by
decree
of
Charles
the
6.
published
anno
.
1369.
it
was
forbidden
to
excommunicate
any
towne
,
communaltie
,
bodie
or
colledge
of
this
realme
:
besides
that
by
the
priuiledges
of
the
lilly
the
Pope
can
not
excommunicate
either
the
k●
or
his
subiectes
:
so
that
Clement
the
5.
by
his
bull
made
voide
the
interdiction
of
Boniface
the
8.
against
Philip
the
faire
,
&
declared
this
realme
exempt
from
the
Popes
power
,
&
so
was
accounted
&
adiudged
by
Alexander
the
4.
Grogory
the
8.
9.
10.
11.
Clement
the
4.
Vrban
the
5.
&
Benedict
the
12.
Also
in
the
yeare
1488.
the
kings
proctor
appealed
as
of
abuse
,
from
the
excommunication
that
the
Pope
had
cast
vpon
the
inhabitantes
of
Gaunt
,
vassals
to
the
crowne
of
France
.
And
the
court
of
Parliament
by
a
decree
of
the
27.
of
Iune
1526.
and
an
other
of
the
last
of
Ianuary
,
1552.
declared
the
clause
by
the
Apostolike
authoritie
,
inserted
into
the
Popes
rescriptes
,
and
sent
into
France
to
be
voide
and
abusiue
.
Againe
when
in
March
,
1563.
the
Romish
inquisition
had
cited
the
Queene
of
Nauarre
personally
to
appeare
before
the
Pope
,
within
6.
months
vnder
paine
of
confiscation
of
goods
,
king
Charles
the
9.
thinking
that
this
adiournment
touched
his
honor
and
the
priuiledges
of
his
realme
,
tolde
the
Popes
Nuntio
,
that
hee
would
chastise
the
authors
of
that
enterprise
.
As
in
the
like
case
did
Lewes
the
young
1143.
deale
with
Tibault
Earle
of
Champagne
,
who
had
procured
Raoul
Earle
of
Vermandois
,
to
be
censured
.
Hereunto
do
I
adde
with
Du
In
France
the
king
neuer
dieth
.
Besides
,
to
corrupt
those
lawes
whereby
hee
reigneth
after
his
predecessors
,
euen
since
the
beginning
of
this
Monarchie
,
were
as
much
as
to
hate
himselfe
:
for
although
we
liue
vnder
a
soueraigne
,
whose
handes
can
not
be
bound
,
yet
must
we
say
with
L.
Valerius
against
the
Oppian
law
.
There
be
lawes
that
be
inuiolable
,
in
respect
of
the
perpetuall
profite
of
the
common
wealth
,
and
there
be
others
necessarie
for
a
time
only
:
those
do
neuer
die
,
but
these
are
mortall
according
to
the
diuersitie
of
occurrences
.
So
that
these
thinges
thus
by
nature
distinguished
,
we
place
first
the
laws
Royall
,
and
such
as
concerne
the
state
of
the
realm
,
because
they
be
annexed
and
vnited
to
the
crowne
,
as
is
this
lawe
of
succession
,
to
the
preiudice
wherof
the
king
can
not
elect
any
other
successor
then
whom
the
same
doth
appoint
him
,
and
in
this
case
we
may
say
that
which
Pacatius
saide
to
the
Emperour
Theodosius
.
That
onely
is
lawfull
for
thee
to
doo
,
that
the
lawes
do
permit
,
and
no
otherwise
,
for
diuerse
considerations
.
First
that
that
is
obserued
in
part
,
must
take
place
in
all
.
But
the
kings
do
holde
it
for
a
generall
rule
,
that
the
publike
demaynes
are
by
nature
holy
,
sacred
,
and
inalienable
.
For
that
cause
was
the
towne
of
Zikeleg
that
Achis
gaue
to
Dauid
neuer
alienated
.
And
the
kinges
of
Englande
,
France
,
Spaine
,
and
Polande
,
do
sweare
neuer
to
dismember
their
demaynes
:
yea
the
king
of
Englande
in
his
treatie
with
the
Pope
and
Potentates
of
Italy
added
this
clause
:
That
they
should
giue
no
part
of
the
demaynes
of
Fraunce
,
for
the
deliuerie
of
king
Frances
.
The
reason
is
,
because
the
demaines
of
the
Crowne
is
a
publike
valuation
in
respect
of
the
prosperitie
thereof
,
the
profite
whereof
is
made
priuate
and
particular
to
the
king
that
reigneth
only
so
long
as
he
liueth
.
This
caused
the
Emperour
Pertinax
to
raze
his
name
that
was
grauen
in
demainiall
inheritances
:
that
Antonine
the
pitifull
would
not
dwell
but
vpon
his
owne
inheritance
:
and
that
Lewes
the
8.
chose
rather
to
sell
his
owne
moueables
&
iewels
for
the
satisfying
of
his
legacies
,
then
to
touch
the
demains
:
which
considering
the
other
rights
of
the
common
wealth
,
can
be
tearmed
but
a
part
thereof
:
so
that
if
the
king
can
not
alienate
,
much
lesse
may
he
passe
away
his
kingdome
and
subiectes
from
one
stocke
to
an
other
.
The
second
consideration
shall
be
taken
of
the
example
of
tutors
,
who
as
witnesseth
Aulus
Gellius
.

could
not
passe
away
their
pupils
into
other
mens
power
,
neither
kinges
their
subiectes
,
considering
that
they
are
onely
tutors
to
the
people
,
to
whose
generall
benefite
their
eyes
ought
to
be
more
open
then
to
their
owne
particular
commodities
:
and
by
the
saying
of
an
auncient
man
.
Euen
as
tutorshippe
,
so
the
charge
of
Although
we
be
not
bound
to
the
payment
of
our
most
honorable
late
lorde
and
fathers
debtes
,
for
that
we
take
not
this
crowne
in
title
of
his
heyre
,
but
by
the
lawe
and
custome
generally
obserued
in
this
realme
euer
since
the
first
institution
thereof
,
yet
wishing
to
discharge
our
sayde
Lorde
and
fathers
conscience
,
wee
are
determined
to
pay
so
manie
as
we
shall
finde
iustly
to
be
dewe
,
&c.
Thus
,
sith
the
crowne
commeth
not
by
fatherly
succession
,
but
by
the
lawe
of
the
realme
,
the
king
can
not
take
it
from
him
,
to
whom
the
lawe
giueth
it
.
Furthermore
we
are
in
farre
better
condition
,
then
the
franchized
Romaines
,
who
by
the
constitution
of
the
Emperors
Dioclesian
and
Maximian
might
chose
to
inherite
where
it
pleased
them
,
and
the
heyre
(
as
sayth
Pomponius
)
that
was
charged
to
set
them
free
might
not
without
their
owne
consent
discharge
themselues
by
an
other
:
much
lesse
then
should
any
against
our
willes
,
make
vs
to
bow
our
neckes
vnder
the
power
of
others
then
those
that
are
appointed
vs
by
succession
,
which
is
of
greater
force
then
the
last
will
of
a
testator
.
And
to
say
that
the
king
of
Nauarre
by
reason
of
his
religion
can
not
be
sacred
,
or
receiue
the
oyle
,
obserued
according
to
custom
by
the
Guizians
saying
euer
since
Clouis
the
1.
&
so
consequently
may
not
be
k.
of
France
,
is
to
go
about
to
make
the
accessarie
principall
,
&
of
the
accident
the
essence
:
for
the
sacring
of
a
king
is
no
part
of
the
essence
,
or
else
they
might
serue
for
a
difference
in
the
definition
of
a
king
:
&
euen
as
the
definition
&
thing
defined
ought
to
haue
relation
,
so
should
it
follow
that
he
that
were
annoynted
and
sacred
shoulde
be
king
,
and
euerie
king
should
be
annoynted
and
sacred
.
Which
notwithstanding
throughout
the
whole
line
of
the
Merouing
ans
the
Chronicles
make
no
mention
of
sacring
or
oyle
.
Clouis
the
first
,
by
the
testimonie
of
Gregorie
of
Tours
,
after
his
baptisme
,
was
crowned
and
carryed
about
the
campe
vpon
a
Target
:
likewise
Sigebert
in
steede
of
Chilpericke
that
was
besieged
at
Tournay
.
And
according
to
Aimoinus
,
certaine
Dukes
hauing
conspired
against
the
kinges
Gontran
and
Childebert
,
did
at
Briue
la
galliard
make
Gondeuault
their
king
with
like
ceremonies
which
were
common
to
other
Nations
.
For
Brinion
was
made
Duke
by
the
Kennemer
landes
,
as
saith
Tacitus
:
Valentinian
the
first
,
and
Pliocas
by
the
Romaine
army
as
sayth
Nicephorus
,
and
Hipatius
,
as
saith
Cassiodore
.
Who
then
seeth
not
that
the
enemies
pretended
reasons
are
but
folly
accompanied
with
deceipt
?
Hereto
I
will
adde
,
that
at
the
request
of
these
Guizians
,
this
realme
,
should
be
made
electiue
,
also
besides
the
law
&
reasons
aforesaide
,
the
custome
should
be
violated
:
sith
that
by
the
testimony
of
Agathius
a
greeke
writer
,
who
liued
in
the
yeare
400.
and
of
Cedrenius
,
who
liued
in
the
time
of
Philip
the
first
,
king
of
France
,
the
Frankes
hauing
chosen
the
best
forme
of
common
wealth
,
had
no
king
but
by
successiue
lawe
.
But
what
stone
do
those
men
let
ly
still
,
that
yaune
after
principalities
?
The
house
of
Bourbon
,
say
these
firebrands
,
are
at
this
day
passed
the
tenth
degree
of
agnation
from
the
Royall
house
,
and
therefore
by
the
ciuill
lawe
excluded
from
succession
.
Marke
here
you
French
men
,
how
this
young
Alexander
,
this
beautifull
branch
of
S.
Lewes
,
Henrie
K.
of
Nauar
is
not
alone
the
marke
that
the
wretched
purposes
of
these
strangers
aime

,
but
also
all
the
Princes
of
the
house
of
Bourbon
,
generallie
are
barked
at
.
But
in
what
sort
?
with
some
breach
still
in
the
realme
which
holdeth
of
none
but
God
&
the
sword
.
They
heere
oppose
against
vs
the
lawes
of
the
Romaines
:
and
we
say
they
are
a-bodie
without
a
soule
,
sauing
so
farre
as
they
take
life
at
the
authoritie
of
our
kings
,
as
appeareth
by
the
priuiledges
granted
to
the
vniuersitie
of
Orleance
,
in
the
yeare
The
height
of
the
heauens
,
the
depth
of
the
earth
,
and
the

of

The

at

rather
then
at

But
to
what
purpose
is
this
naming
of
a
successor
?
The
Aegyptians
surnamed
all
their
kings
Pyramis
,
which
signifieth
the
selfesame
thing
,
because
wee
cannot
tearme
anie
thing
good
in
nature
that
is
not

in
all
parts
.
Who
then
Euerie
lighte
beleefe
is
a
foolish
document
,
whie
shoulde
wee
perswade
our selues
that
our
king
is
barren
?
but
let
vs
proceede
to
that
that
goeth
yet
nearer
.
The
Guysians
by
vow
and
profession
ancient
enimies
to
the
blood
royall
of
France
,
weening
to
haue
brought
his
maiestie
to
haue
a
tast
in
practising
the
counsaile
that
Tarquine
the
proud
gaue
his
sonne
Sextus
,
which
was
to
slay
all
the
chiefe
lords
of
the
Gabiens
,
and
thinking
it
an
easie
matter
to
breake
an
eele
with
their
knee
,
and
to
wurry
the
Princes
of
the
blood
,
who
cannot
be
so
much
as
shaken
without
the
totall
destruction
of
this
estate
,
do
by
their
last
propositions
studie
to
bring
al
the
estates
of
this
realme
out
of
tast
with
their
duetie
,
whereto
nature
and
the
law
of
God
doth
bind
them
,
and
vnder
the
kings
support
to
oppresse
the
Princes
of
the
blood
,
and
by
the
subiects
reuolt
to
trippe
away
the
kings
legge
.
This
appeareth
euidently
:
for
in
propounding
Hath
the
church
lost
her
prerogatiues
?
Who
but
he
that
hath
authority
hath
taken
them
away
?
or
who
hath
authority
but
the
K.
onely
?
But
if
,
as
a
certaine
Emperor
said
,
we
ought
not
to
haue
any
sinister
opinion
of
our
Princes
,
who
shal
say
that
our
king
hath
willed
more
then
he
ought
,
or
that
he
hath
not
ruled
his
power
with
reason
?
It
is
,
said
Plinie
to
the
Emperor
Traian
,
the
highest
degree
of
happinesse
to
be
able
to
do
what
a
man
will
,
and
of
greatnesse
to
will
that
which
a
man
may
.
Now
this
power
is
not
measured
according
to
mans
affections
,
but
by
the
foot
rule
of
vertue
and
lawes
.
Herein
do
we
know
tyrants
from
kings
,
for
tyrants
will
haue
their
affections
serue
for
lawes
,
and
kings
haue
no
other
affections
but
lawes
:
&
yet
,
as
if
his
maiesty
had
contrary
to
all
reason
rauished
from
the
church
her
ancient
liberties
,
these
Guysards
wil
restore
them
to
her
againe
.
But
what
doo
these
Mushromes
of
a
nights
growth
call
ancient
?
In
old
time
according
to
the
decrees
of
the
of
Antioch
,
and
since
by
the
ordinances
of
Charlemaine
,
the
Election
of
bishops
consisted
in
the
approbation
Dioscorus
Patriarch
of
Alexandria
.
In
the
fifth
of
Constantinople
,
Menas
Patriarch
of
the
same
place
:
At
Carthage
,
Aurelius
Archbishop
of
the
towne
:
and
S.
Cyprian
speaking
of
the
bishop
of
Rome
,
calleth
him
but
brother
or
companion
.
In
olde
time
the
Guysards
were
no
bodie
,
&
of
late
of
pettie
companions
they
are
growne
vp
at
the
cost
of
the
crucifix
:
Restore
things
then
to
their
first
estate
,
and
ye
make
a
breach
in
the
Popes
authoritie
,
and
the
Guysards
must
lose
their
grace
:
yet
do
they
speake
of
reestablishing
the
Church
in
her
ancient
priuiledges
!
but
from
whence
haue
they
this
authoritie
?
from
their
ambition
.
By
what
meanes
?
by
sucking
the
goods
of
the
Church
,
not
for
the
aduancement
of
the
clergie
,
but
to
smooth
the
way
to
their
pernitious
practises
:
like
as
those
factious
persons
,
Robert
Earle
of
Angiers
,
and
his
brother
Hugh
,
who
seeking
to
wrest
the
scepter
out
of
the
hauees
of
Charles
the
simple
,
hyred
their
men
with
Church
goods
.
But
these
men
will
keepe
her
.
O
what
a
good
keeper
of
the
sheepe
is
the
wolfe
!
How
will
they
keepe
her
?
with
armes
:
as
if
they
might
leuie
armes
without
the
Princes
commandement
:
who
is
the
dispenser
of
the
same
?
Read
ouer
the
lawes
,
you
shall
finde
that
in
Panaetolio
&
Pylacio
consilio
:
also
that
at
Rome
it
lay
in
the
people
to
denounce
,
as
they
did
against
Mithridates
by
the
lawe
Manilia
:
against
Philip
the
second
king
of
Macedon
,
by
the
law
Sulpitia
:
against
the
Pirates
,
by
the
law
Gabinia
.
And
because
Caesar
The
Senate
gaue
the
aduise
,
and
the
people
of
Tarent
granted
the
precept
.
What
lawes
then
,
what
right
,
what
reason
,
what
examples
do
authorise
,
or
rather
do
not
condemne
the
weapons
of
these
perturbers
,
who
of
their
owne
authoritie
haue
kindeled
the
fire
of
an
vniust
,
cruell
,
and
bloody
warre
?
And
shall
these
bee
the
bucklers
of
the
faith
,
and
pillers
of
the
church
?
no
,
but
the
diuels
sergants
,
&
scourges
of
Antichrist
:
for
warre
,
murder
,
and
cruelty
are
no
marks
of
a
Christian
,
who
(
as
saith
Socrates
the
Scholast.

speaking
of
the
murder
of
Hipatie
)
ought
to
haue
his
handes
cleane
from
bloud
.
And
according
to
an
olde
saying
,
We
must
rather
debate
our
right
with
reason
,
then
with
armes
.
Which
was
the
cause
,
that
the
Athenians
and
Mitelenians
those
Periander
for
an
arbitrator
in
their
controuersies
for
a
certaine
territory
:
that
the
Acheans
remitted
their
quarrell
with
the
Argiues
to
the
iudgement
of
the
Mantineans
:
&
that
the
Romains
before
they
tooke
armes
against
Hanniball
,
sollicited
him
to
rayse
his
siege
before
Sagunt
.
Yea
,
in
olde
time
,
when
necessitie
forced
them
to
the
taking
of
armes
,
it
was
not
doone
without
southsaying
,
and
for
the
most
part
they
asked
the
counsaile
of
Oracles
:
so
that
P.
Claudius
and
L.
Iunius
being
Consuls
,
they
were
by
the
decree
of
the
people
condemned
,
for
sayling
away
without
southsaying
:
as
was
also
Gabinius
,
for
leading
an
army
into
Aegypt
,
contrary
to
the
tenour
of
the
Sibils
bookes
:
and
shall
the
murderers
of
the
commonwealth
,
robbing
euen
before
the
magistrates
face
,
be
accounted
the
pillers
of
the
Church
?
men
that
haue
not
put
on
armour
,
but
to
the
end
to
increase
their
meanesse
,
to
fish
in
troubled
water
,
to
tryumph
vpon
the
Frenchmens
reproch
,
shall
they
be
named
the
protectors
of
Saint
Peter
?
What
benefite
,
my
maisters
,
ye
Bishops
,
do
you
looke
for
of
so
many
mischiefes
committed
in
your
fauour
?
you
lende
your
hande
to
the
seditious
:
Is
who
knoweth
not
the
sleights
of
the
Court
of
Rome
,
&
how
much
French
blood
that
horsleach
sucketh
vp
?
And
the
exchange
of
his
lead
with
our
gold
is
growne
to
a
Prouerbe
,
as
that
in
Homer
of
Glaucus
and
Diomedes
.
And
S.
Bernard
Ephraim
is
as
a
cake
on
the
herth
not
turned
:
straungers
haue
deuoured
his
force
,
and
hee
knoweth
it
not
.
Thus
much
for
the
first
attaint
that
they
giue
the
king
:
let
vs
proceed
to
the
rest
.
Their
bad
Angell
,
the
spirite
of
discord
hath
taught
them
,
that
there
is
a
great
sympathie
or
resemblance
betweene
heauen
,
mans
body
,
and
a
monarchy
:
that
in
each
of
them
them
there
are
two
principall
things
.
In
heauen
,
the
sunne
and
the
moone
.
In
mans
body
,
the
head
and
the
hart
.
In
a
monarchy
,
the
king
and
the
nobilitie
.
That
the
eclipse
of
the
sunne
or
moone
darkeneth
the
heauen
,
the
sicknesse
of
the
head
or
heart
disquiet
the
whole
body
;
and
through
controuersie
betweene
the
king
and
his
nobilitie
,
the
whole
monarchie
tendeth
vnto
destruction
.
Following
therefore
this
lesson
,
they
seeke
to
kindle
the
torch
of
diuision
betweene
the
king
and
his
nobilitie
:
for
whereat
I
say
not
that
the
Prince
should
indifferentlie
deuide
honors
,
for
the
reward
of
vertue
being
communicated
Is
this
that
periured
and
breaker
of
alliance
?
Is
this
that
defiler
of
the
common
law
of
nations
?
And
wherefore
do
not
we
with
that
valiant
Romaine
bring
to
ground
with
the
speares
point
those
traitors
,
those
periured
persons
that
do
breake
the
law
of
nations
,
that
doo
delight
only
in
our
displeasure
,
and
do
bring
this
estate
into
combustion
?
To
say
that
they
wil
restore
the
nobility
to
their
first
eminencie
,
is
to
couer
themselues
with
a
wet
sacke
:
for
who
but
their
race
haue
troden
vnder
foote
al
respect
of
French
nobilitie
?
who
but

and

of
their
seruice
were
reuoked
and
made
voide
?
who
but
those
furies
made
the
edict
that
forbad
all
bearing
of
armes
,
yea
euen
the
nobilitie
,
and
reuoked
all
particular
prouisions
to
whomsoeuer
the
same
was
granted
?
And
yet
,
as
if
the
crow
had
ingendered
the
swanne
,
these
men
will
build
vp
that
which
their
father
destroyed
.
Yeeld
then
ye
Guysards
your
affected
gouernements
of
Burgondie
,
Champagne
,
and
Britaine
to
the
domesticall
seruants
,
not
to
strangers
:
referre
the
offices
of
great
master
,
and
chamberlaine
,
that
you
stole
from
the
houses
of
Montmorencie
and
Longueuille
:
Giue
ouer
your
titles
of
Earles
and
Dukes
,
wherewith
within
these
25.
or
thirtie
yeares
,
ye
haue
shadowed
your
meanenesse
:
and
walke
in
that
estate
wherin
your
grandfather
came
into
France
,
weake
of
goods
,
poore
of
honor
,
and
naked
of
dignitie
.
But
what
?
yet
by
their
saying
is
the
king
in
their
debt
;
and
by
their
discontentment
they
do
sufficiently
shew
that
they
wil
not
suffer
the
nobilitie
so
much
as
to
tast
of
those
honors
wherwith
it
ought
to
be
satisfied
,
gleane
where
they
haue
reaped
,
or
gather
any
grapes
where
they
haue
made
their
vintage
:
do
they
then
terme
this
the
restoring
of
the
nobilitie
?
What
aduancement
may
any
French
Gentleman
look
for
,
when
24.
Lorraines
must
haue
dined
before
he
sit
downe
?
&
when
they
must
beglutted
with
honors
before
hee
may
taste
of
any
?
Or
rather
why
doo
we
not
rather
abandon
all
hope
,
considering
that
their
appetite
is
vnsatiable
,
&
that
they
are
men
,
yea
men
that
are
starued
after
honors
,
thirstie
of
goods
,
&
hot
with
ambition
?
Moreouer
,
sith
they
wil
dazle
our
eyes
with
the
false
shew
of
their
seruices
,
know
we
not
that
they
haue
anointed
our
lippes
with
honie
,
but
made
vs
swallow
gall
?
know
we
not
,
since
the
raigne
of
Francis
the
seconde
,
they
neuer
permitted
any
young
peace
to
waxe
old
in
France
?
Or
who
hath
not
seene
them
more
willing
to
hafard
this
realme
for
a
pray
,
then
to
giue
ouer
anie
iot
of
their
particular
passions
?
At
all
aduentures
,
was
there
euer
such
impudencie
as
to
seeke
to
bring
the
King
to
such
passe
that
hee
shall
bee
forced
to
rewarde
their
pretended

,
and
to
let

sacrifising

,
haue
had
no
other
hearse
but
the
field
of

slaine

Iohn

Antony
at

We
find
that
many
french
knights
haue
prodigally
spent
their
blood
in
the
seruice
of
our
kings
:
but
that
any
haue
sought
violentlie
to
wrest
the
reward
of
their
merits
we
find
not
.
Only
we
read
that
one
Sigibert
gouernor
of
Coloine
,
euery
where
shewing
his
wounds
,
&
complaining
of
his
small
recompence
was
by
Clouis
the
first
,
depriued
of
al
his
dignities
:
and
yet
these
good
children
shal
force
the
K.
to
part
his
estate
with
them
.
And
what
king
,
ye
vnsatiable
glotons
,
what
estate
can
satisfie
your
hunger
?
What
sea
,
ye
dropsicke
persons
,
what
waters
can
quench
your
thirst
?
Or
who
can
fill
the
perced
vessels
of
the
Danaides
?
Of
strangers
they
haue
beene
made
housholde
seruants
:
of
Gentlemen
,
Dukes
&
Earles
:
to
aduance
them
we
haue
made
a
breach
in
the
authoritie
of
the
princes
of
the
bloud
:
to
preferre
them
,
a
thousande
braue
gentlemen
haue
bin
put
backe
:
so
as
Sir
,
they
want
no
more
but
the
crowne
,
which
God
,
the
grounded
law
and
custome
of
the
realme
,
haue
set
vpon
your
head
:
and
yet
do
they
gape
after
goods
,
greatnesse
and
glorie
:
or
rather
they
vnfolde
all
meanes
to
winne
the
heartes
of
the
nobilitie
,
and
to
bring
vpon
you
the
hatred
of
the
same
.
For
with
what
impudency
can
they
deny
that
to
be
their
intent
?
You
(
O
most
christian
king
)
are
the
father
of
this
great
family
,
and
Pilote
of
this
It
is
in
manner
the
same
argument
that
they
haue
begunne
,
wherewith
to
bring
the
commons
to
reuolt
against
his
Maiestie
.
For
they
set
before
vs
one
that
is
naked
of
fatte
,
flesh
,
and
bloud
:
they
figure
vs
an
anatomie
of
mans
body
,
hauing
no
more
but
skinne
and
bones
,
which
they
say
,
the
Frenchmen
do
by
a
woonderfull
simpathie
resemble
:
that
we
must
restore
and
make
vp
againe
this
poore
bodie
,
that
we
must
cure
it
of
this
wound
,
that
themselues
will
be
the
Chirurgions
,
and
their
weapons
the
plaisters
:
but
who
is
so
blinde
as
for
sundry
considerations
not
to
iudge
this
proposition
to
haue
a
very
bad
sauour
?
First
,
because
it
toucheth
the
kings
honor
whom
by
this
meanes
with
hue
and
crie
they
proclayme
a
Tyrant
:
and
withall
do
endeuour
to
entangle
him
in
the
same
mishappe
as
Acheus
king
of
the
Lidians
,
whom
his
subiectes
slew
for
the
tributes
which
hee
went
about
to
exact
.
Or
as
Henrie
king
of
Sueden
,
Theodorick
king
of
France
,
and
many
other
Princes
,
who
for
like
cause
haue
beene
depriued
of
their
estates
.
Secondly
,
because
,
(
as
sayth
Plutarch
)
it
is
not
his
part
that
falleth
,
to
lift
vp
:
that
knoweth
nothing
,
to
teach
:
that
is
disordered
,
to
order
:
that
is
vnruly
,
to
rule
:
or
that
can
not
obey
,
to
command
:
but
as
sayde
Licurgus
,
a
man
must
shew
a
thing
in
himselfe
,
that
he
wisheth
to
be
in
others
.
This
was
the
reason
,
wherefore
they
mocked
Philip
k.
of
Macedon
,
who
liuing
at
variance
with
his
wife
Olympiades
and
his
sonne
Alexander
,
was
inquisitiue
of
the
Grecian
life
among
themselues
.
If
therefore
the
Guisards
do
mislike
the
kings
loanes
,
let
not
themselues
borrow
:
If
they
will
needs
discharge
the
people
,
let
them
leaue
the
heauie
burden
of
debtes
that
hangeth
vpon
their
own
armes
&
stop
their
creditors
mouths
that
dayly
doo
cry
after
them
.
But
wherein
will
not
The
third
reason
is
ciuill
:
for
by
the
lawes
it
lyeth
not
in
the
meaner
magistrate
to
command
the
greater
,
neither
may
he
resist
the
iudgement
of
his
superior
,
as
sayth
the
Emperour
Iustinian
,
or
correct
his
acts
,
either
take
notice
of
appeales
from
him
,
as
Vlpian
saith
:
yea
if
he
chance
to
admitte
any
accusations
against
his
superiour
,
he
may
be
taken
for
a
partie
,
and
called
into
an
action
of
iniurie
:
as
Caesar
when
he
being
but
Praetor
,
was
accused
before
a
Quaestor
to
be
a
partie
in
the
conspiracie
of
Cateline
,
he
caused
the
iudge
to
be
condemned
in
great
fines
,
because
he
suffered
a
greater
magistrate
to
be
accused
before
him
.
Also
by
decree
of
the
Parliament
the
7.
of
Ianuarie
,
1547.
all
inferiour
iudges
were
forbidden
to
vse
any
defences
against
the
royall
iudges
,
because
by
an
auncient
saying
,
The
lesser
may
not
commande
the
greater
,
Doth
it
then
beseeme
the
Guisardes
to
receiue
the
peoples
complaintes
,
to
take
notice
of
the
kinges
actions
,
or
to
limitte
the
kinges
will
?
Besides
,
sith
that
vnder
the
benefite
of
peace
,
tilled
by
his
Maiesties
wisedome
,
the
people
were
freed
from
sundrie
impositions
,
what
need
we
now
counterfeit
Hercules
,
Dyon
,
Timoleon
or
Aratus
,
who
were
intituled
correctors
of
tirants
?
must
we
vse
such
corrosiue
medicines
where
there
was
scarce
any
sore
,
&
where
passed
calamities
were
buried
vnder
the
law
Amnestia
?
wold
right
that
we
should
preuent
the
way
of
Iustice
by
the
way
of
deede
?
were
it
reason
the
seruant
should
prescribe
a
law
to
his
master
?
Is
it
not
the
custome
in
case
of
excessiue
exactions
to
haue
recourse
to
the
estates
,
as
we
had
in
the
yeare
1338.
in
the
time
of
Philip
of
Valois
?
Otherwise
to
proceede
to
fire
and
sworde
before
wee
lay
any
playsters
,
is
to
fester
,
not
to
close
vppe
the
wounde
:
to
empaire
,
not
to
amende
the
condition
of
the
people
,
which
had
neuer
good
successe
against
their
king
:
vnder
Philip
the
faire
,
anno
,
1312.
vnder
Charles
the
sixt
,
about
the
yeare
1382.
and
vnder
Henry
the
second
,
the
people
oppressed
with
extraordinarie
taxes
,
sought
by
force
to
shake
off
that
yoke
,
but
the
whole
storme
light
vppon
themselues
.
Not
that
I
meane
herein
to
imitate
Anaxarchus
,
who
to
the
ende
to
comfort
Alexander
,
who
was
oppressed
with
sorrowe
for
the
murder
of
Clitus
,
tolde
him
that
Dice
&
Themis
,
that
is
,
iustice
and
equitie
,
are
Iupiters
assistors
,
thereby
to
shew
that
whatsoeuer
the
princes
actions
can
be
no
other
but
iust
and
right
:
but
contrariwise
I
say
,
that
it
is
euill
done
to
wast
treasures
prodigally
,
and
to
oppresse
the
subiectes
:
as
Tiberius
Caesar
saide
,
It
is
the
part
of
a
good
shepheard
to
sheare
his
sheepe
,
not
to
slea
them
.
I
say
with
Seneca
,
the
more
lawfull
that
all
thinges
are
to
the
king
,
the
lesse
lawfull
they
are
.
And
that
the
father
is
not
more
bounde
to
the
bringing
vp
of
his
children
,
or
the
nurse
to
giue
them
her
breast
,
then
is
the
Prince
to
the
protection
of
his
subiectes
:
But
withall
I
say
,
that
resisting
the
power
by
God
established
,
we
resist
his
ordinance
:
also
that
it
would
proue
a
dangerous
gappe
&
of
great
consequence
,
if
conspirators
might
by
force
and
violence
proceed
to
reformation
,
as
do
these
factious
persons
that
manifestly
do
aspire
to
the
crowne
:
which
is
the
thing
that
hath
armed
them
:
neyther
must
these
hypocrites
alter
the
occasion
,
for
at
whom
are
they
greeued
?
Not
at
the
third
estate
:
for
as
they
say
,
they
purpose
to
discharge
the
same
of
the
burden
of
subsidies
:
neither
at
the
nobilitie
:
for
it
they
will
restore
to
the
auncient
dignitie
:
neither
at
the
Clergie
:
for
they
go
about
to
reestablish
the
Church
in
hi●
ancient
liberties
:
neyther
at
the
Protestantes
:
for
they
shew
all
fauour
to
sundry
of
them
,
besides
that
heretofore
they
haue
sought
to
giue
them
a
desire
to
come
vnder
the
couert
of
their
protection
,
therein
resembling
(
but
with
this
glose

If
sir
,
there
be
no
question
of
your
owne
remayning
in
your
countrie
onely
,
but
also
that
your
countrie
must
dwell
in
it selfe
,
as
Camillus
sayde
to
the
Romaines
,
will
you
suffer
your
France
to
be
made
a
butcherie
,
a
graue
,
and
a
wildernesse
?
If
,
as
it
was
sayde
to
Denis
the
Tyrant
of
Siracuse
,
tirannous
domination
is
no
beautifull
monument
to
be
buried
in
,
what
braue
sepulchre
may
a
king
haue
in
a
lande
all
tainted
with
the
bloud
of
his
poore
subiectes
?
If
,
as
a
certaine
Romaine
sayde
,
Caesar
fastened
his
images
by
raysing
those
of
Pompey
,
what
footing
may
your
estate
take
by
authorising
the
nearest
of
your
bloud
?
If
,
as
sayde
Iason
the
tyrant
of
Thessaly
,
it
be
necessarie
to
doo
wrong
in
retayle
to
the
end
to
doo
right
in
grosse
,
what
were
it
to
redeeme
publike
peace
with
the
life
of
two
or
three
rebelles
?
If
a
king
ought
rather
to
feare
dooing
euill
,
then
receiuing
euill
,
as
the
one
beeing
cause
of
the
other
:
and
that
hee

euill
,
that
hindereth
not
the
doing
of
euill
when
he
may

will
you
Sir

suffer
so
many
bloudie
murders
to
bee
committed
vnder
your
name
and
authoritie
:
and
(
which
is
more
)
by
those
that
clayme
to
them selues
the
branches
of
Charlemagne

that

and
that
doo

both
heauen
and

,
to
pull
vppon
you
the
hatred
of
the
Clergie
,
of
the
Nobilitie
,
and
of
the
people
?
Shall
it
bee
sayde
,
that
vnder
your
scepter
these
young
harebraynes
,
these
lost
children
of
fortune
,
haue
with
incredible
boldnesse
troden
downe
your
edictes
,
violated
your
lawes
,
strangeled
the
peace
whereto
you
were
so
solemnely
sworne
,
and
robbed
and
murdered
your
poore
subiectes
?
Can
you
without
horrour
heare
of
their
bloudie
slaughters
;
without
pittie
,
of
the
destruction
of
your
townes
:
without
teares
,
of
the
desolation
of
your
subiectes
,
and
without
greeuous
displeasure
,
of
that
ease
which
the
strangers
doo
reape
in
your
trauayles
?
Consider
most
mercifull
king
,
that
they
thrust
the
knife
into
your
handes
wherewith
to
shedde
your
owne
bloud
:
that
the
rigour
of
your
weapons
lighteth
vpon
your
subiectes
:
that
getting
the
victorie
ouer
them
,
you
can
not
triumph
,
but
in
your
owne
shame
,
neyther
gaine
,
but
in
your
owne
losse
:
that
those
are
to
bee
feared
that
doo
nothing

vpon
necessitie
,
that
haue
no

in
dispaire

that

,
and
that
haue
nothing
left
but
weapons
and
courage
.
That
the
destruction
of
the
Princes
of
the
bloud
,
and
of
the
members
and
subiectes
of
the
estate
can
not
be
far
from
the
ineuitable
destruction
of
your
crowne
:
That
extremitie
changeth
humanity
into
furie
,
clemencie
into
dispaire
,
and
obedience
into
rebellion
.
That
there
be
certaine
vertues
that
do
openly
fight
against
the
enimies
,
as
force
and
valiancie
,
but
that
those
are
best
which
do
vndermine
the
aduersaries
hearts
,
as
faith
,
clemencie
and
mercie
:
That
the
course
of
reason
must
stay
the
Princes
power
,
in
imitating
the
same
,
which
when
it
is
at
the
highest
in
the
North
part
,
walketh
more
slowly
and
by
slacknesse
maketh
his
course
more
assured
.
Consider
that
those
whom
with
fire
and
sword
they
pursue
,
are
the
same
children
to
whome
you
are
a
father
:
the
sheepe
to
whom
you
are
a
sheepheard
:
the
seruants
to
whom
you
are
a
master
,
the
subiects
to
whom
you
are
a
king
:
euen
the
same
subiects
to
whome
of
late
you
pawned
your
faith
.
And
sith
it
is
accounted
among
matters
of
fortune
,
if
a
Prince
breaketh
promise
,
sith
it
is
a
warrant
to
his
subiects
of
their
mutal
oblagitions
:
with
farre
greater
reason
is
he
debter
to
iustice
in
his
owne
deed
.
Taint
not
therfore
sir
your
so
pure
and
cleaine
faith
,
neither
make
it
a
slaue
to
the
passions
of
a
few
seditious
persons
.
The
people
beholdeth
you
as
the
sunne
that
shineth
equally
vpon
al
:
let
your
loue
therefore
be
generall
(
if
you
desire
to
be
beloued
,
for
loue
naturally
wil
begin
at
the
most
perfect
)
of
the
true
Prince
to
his
subiectes
:
of
the
true
father
to
his
children
,
and
by
a
certaine
reflection
the
children
do
loue
the
father
,
and
the
subiects
the
Prince
.
If
in
your
opinion
any
heresie
buddeth
foorth
in
France
:
if
there
bee
any
maime
in
the
Church
,
let
it
please
your
maiestie
to
consider
that
the
wounde
lieth
in
the
soules
of
the
heretikes
:
that
the
soule
is
a
spirituall
thing
,
which
neither
fire
,
nor
water
can
bite
:
that
for
obtaining
the
victorie
thereof
,
you
must
be
armed
with
spiritual
weapons
:
that
the
disease
is
not
cured
by
the
disease
,
that
to
lay
a
necessitie
where
God
leaueth
a
libertie
,
is
to
make
a
mortall
wound
in
the
conscience
:
that
onely
rigor
causeth
not
men
to
change
aduice
,
but
for
the
most
part
maketh
them
more
resolute
and
to
perseuer
:
That
religion
cannot
be
aduanced
by
the
destruction
of
the
estate
,
and
that
the
estate
is
scattered
by
the
dissipation
of
the
subiectes
.
And
if
there
be
nothing
vppon
earth
more
greater
,
or
more
religious
then
your
maiestie
,
it
may
please
you
to
set
before
you
the
example
of
300.

Councell
of

Councell
of
Ephesus
,
and
630.
in
the
Councell
of
Calcedon
,
who
all
were
of

to
vse
no

than

Nestorius
&
Eutiches

and

Let
your
maiestie
,
if
it
please
you
,
cast
your
view
vpon
the
clemencie
of
Augustus
toward
the
Iewes
,
to
whom
hee
sent
his
ordinary
almes
,
and
sacrifices
to
Hierusalem
:
vppon
Theodoricke
king
of
the
Gothes
,
who
being
a
fauorer
of
the
Arrians
would
not
force
the
consciences
of
his
subiects
:
vppon
the
king
of
the
Turkes
,
who
sent
his
almes
to
the
Calogers
,
Christian
religious
persons
of
mount
Athos
,
to
the
end
they
might
pray
to
God
for
him
:
vpon
the
Pope
,
who
suffereth
the
Iewes
to
set
foote
in
Italie
:
vppon
the
Emperor
Charles
the
fift
,
who
by
prouision
at
Ausbourge
1530.
granted
that
peace
which
we
call
of
the
religion
,
and
in
the
yeare
1555.
conuerted
the
saide
prouision
into
a
perpetuall
edict
:
vpon
your
realme
of
Poland
and
Boheme
,
wherein
sundrie
religions
do
florish
:
And
yet
onely
in
your
realme
of
France
shall
they
endeuour
to
plant
faith
by
armes
?
Other
Princes
do
liue
in
peace
,
and
you
sir
are
wrapped
in
continual
wars
.
After
their
example
most
courteous
Prince
then
,
change
the
labors
of
your
poore
subiects
into
rest
,
and
their
misfortunes
into
prosperitie
.
And
nowe
that
it
seemeth
God
hath
chosen
your
raigne
to
the
end
vnder
the
same
to
repaire
the
breaches
of
his
church
,
with
both
your
hands
,
seise
vpon
this
heauenly
gift
:
prepare
a
councel
,
a
schoole
of
saluation
,
wherein
the
blinde
in
faith
may
bee
lightened
,
the
diseased
consciences
healed
,
the
darkenesse
of
heresies
expelled
,
and
the
truth
may
shine
forth
:
so
shal
God
be
serued
of
you
,
you
of
your
subiects
,
and
this
realme
set
free
from
the
miseries
that
doo
now
oppresse
it
.
This
shal
be
the
right
felicitie
of
a
good
king
