THE
SECOND
PART
OF
the
Cath.
Apologie
.
1
SVch
as
mislike
the
king
of
Nauarres
cause
,
doe
obiect
against
hym
in
this
libell
fonre
principall
points
,
wherof
three
doe
perticularly
touche
the
qualitie
of
his
owne
person●
,
the
fourth
concerneth
the
auncient
controuersie
betweene
the
Vncle
and
the
sonne
of
the
elder
brother
.
But
we
will
ende●our
to
shewe
that
in
all
and
throughout
all
they
haue
but
a
weake
foundation
.
Concerning
the
first
,
they
aleadge
that
the
said
Lorde
King
of
Nauarre
is
not
borne
in
lawfull
matrimony
of
Anthony
of
Bourbon
,
eldest
sonne
of
the
house
of
Bourbon
,
because
Ladie
Iane
of
Albret
mother
to
the
said
lord
King
was
married
to
the
Duke
of
Cleue
when
she
ioyned
with
the
said
Lord
Anthony
,
and
so
consequently
the
King
of
Nauare
discended
of
the
said
Anthonie
of
Bourbon
,
and
Iane
of
Albret
is
illegitimate
and
vncapable
to
succede
in
the
Crowne
of
France
,
wherin
Basterds
did
neuer
succeede
.
2
This
point
is
easie
to
bee
answered
by
the
trueth
of
the
matter
,
which
is
,
that
the
late
King
Francis
the
first
desirous
to
drawe
to
himselfe
,
and
to
disunite
from
the
Emperour
Charles
the
fifth
the
Duke
of
Cleue
,
vrged
&
forced
his
sister
Lady
Margaret
of
France
,
and
Henry
of
Albret
King
of
Nauarre
father
and
mother
to
the
sayd
Iane
who
then
was
a
yong
Princesse
of
eight
or
nine
yeres
of
age
at
the
most
to
marry
her
to
the
sayd
Duke
of
Cleue
,
with
whom
the
solemnitie
was
accomplished
and
the
maiden
conducted
to
the
nuptiall
bed
in
the
Towne
of
Chastelerauld
:
but
before
the
time
of
mariage
was
lawfully
perfect
and
accomplished
in
the
said
Lady
Iane
,
she
complayned
of
this
pretended
marriage
,
crauing
the
dissolution
thereof
,
which
by
the
sentence
of
the
Church
and
the
Popes
dispensation
afterward
in
the
yeere
1541.
enrowled
in
the
Court
of
Parliament
was
broken
:
After
all
which
acts
,
the
said
Anthony
of
Bourbon
father
to
the
sayd
Lord
King
of
Nauarre
maried
the
sayd
Princesse
.
3
It
followeth
therfore
that
the
pretended
mariage
betweene
the
sayde
Duke
of
Cleue
and
the
sayd
Iane
of
Albret
was
voyde
and
of
no
force
or
effect
,
as
well
by
the
Ciuill
lawe
of
the
Romaines
which
ordinarily
we
do
vse
,
as
by
the
holie
decrees
of
the
Catholicke
Church
.
That
if
a
maiden
vnder
twelue
yeeres
of
age
be
brought
into
her
husbands
dwelling
house
,
hauing
there
accomplished
her
lawful
age
she
may
as
of
age
require
her
dowrie
.
Labeo
vpon
the
propo●ition
of
donations
by
the
husband
made
vnto
his
wife
which
in
lawe
are
prohibited
,
whatsoeuer
the
husband
giueth
to
the
pupill
his
pretended
wife
,
is
in
Romaine
pollicie
good
and
of
force
.
Whatsoeuer
is
bequeathed
to
a
pupill
at
her
day
of
mariage
,
if
she
contract
matrimonie
before
her
perfect
age
,
the
gift
is
deemed
vnprofitable
,
and
the
condition
iudged
not
to
be
performed
:
which
Vlpian
doth
expressely
confirme
.
In
an
other
place
the
same
Author
repeateth
the
rescript
of
the
Emperour
Seuerus
whereby
the
husband
is
forbidden
,
in
the
qualitie
of
a
husband
to
accuse
his
wife
of
adulterie
committed
during
her
noneage
.
Pomponius
hath
left
vs
the
generall
rule
of
this
question
in
writing
,
conteining
,
A
maiden
vnder
twelue
yeeres
of
age
shal
be
a
lawfull
wife
when
in
her
husbands
company
she
hath
atteyned
the
sayd
age
of
twelue
yeeres
.
4
The
holy
decrees
of
the
Cath.
Church
are
full
of
such
decisions
.
Pope
Euaristus
who
held
the
Sea
of
Rome
about
the
yere
of
Iesus
Christ
.
110.
confesseth
that
he
had
learned
of
the
fathers
his
predecessors
,
that
the
inequalitie
and
insufficiencie
of
age
doe
make
the
wife
vnlawfull
.
Wee
reade
a
decre
of
the
Counsaile
of
Foruile
,
holden
vnder
Charlemagne
and
Pepin
his
eldest
Sonne
,
concerning
this
question
.
Moreouer
(
saith
the
text
.
)
For
the
remedying
of
all
,
we
forbid
all
persons
to
ioyne
in
matrimony
before
their
ripe
age
,
also
all
such
as
are
of
vnequall
yeeres
in
any
wise
to
match
together
,
but
only
those
who
in
respect
of
equall
birth
beare
like
minde
and
consent
.
Pope
Nicholas
the
first
who
sat
about
the
yeere
858.
to
the
same
effect
writeth
,
That
where
consent
wanteth
,
it
is
no
mariage
.
Such
therfore
as
doe
make
alliances
of
their
children
being
yet
in
their
cradles
,
do
no
whit
bind
them
,
vnlesse
the
conioyned
,
hauing
atteyned
the
yeres
of
discretion
,
doe
allowe
thereof
,
notwithstanding
their
parents
would
marrie
them
.
Vpon
this
text
also
Iohn
Andrewe
teacheth
vs
that
wee
must
enquire
the
willes
of
the
pupilles
when
they
are
of
ripe
age
,
Pube
,
Malice
is
sayd
to
supplye
age
.
This
the
sayd
Alexander
decreed
by
the
authoritie
of
the
Connsaile
of
Lateran
holden
in
the
yeere
1180.
in
the
assembly
of
280.
to
the
Bishop
of
Ara
,
who
enquired
how
he
was
to
proceed
against
a
maiden
that
had
bene
blessed
and
corrupted
before
her
ripe
age
,
also
against
the
Priest
that
had
ministred
these
ceremonies
.
Whereto
aunswer
was
made
that
the
maid
should
be
seperate
and
the
Priest
put
from
his
charge
.
5
As
in
trueth
in
all
well
ordered
Commonwealthes
there
haue
euermore
bene
established
a
certaine
age
for
the
conioyning
and
mariage
of
the
Citizens
of
the
same
,
f●r
hauing
of
issue
it
is
meete
that
it
be
contracted
at
lawfull
age
:
So
as
by
the
pollicie
of
some
Citties
,
that
the
tyme
of
generation
doth
for
the
most
part
by
nature
ende
in
the
man
at
the
70.
and
in
the
woman
at
the
fiftie
yeere
.
Aristotle
is
of
opinion
that
after
that
age
mariage
is
not
to
be
permitted
.
Whereto
seemeth
to
agree
that
which
is
found
in
the
establishment
of
the
Romaines
.
Among
whom
those
Citizens
were
not
iudged
to
haue
satisfied
the
lawe
Iulia
which
was
made
for
mariages
:
who
to
the
ende
not
to
be
subiect
to
the
penalties
limitted
in
detestation
of
vowed
chastitie
,
did
contract
matrimonie
the
man
after
sixtie
yeres
or
the
woman
after
fiftie
.
For
Iustinian
also
writeth
that
some
accompted
it
almost
a
wonder
in
nature
to
see
a
woman
with
childe
after
she
were
fiftie
yeres
of
age
:
And
it
seemed
such
marriages
were
contracted
not
so
much
in
hope
of
begetting
children
into
the
Common-wealth
,
as
in
respect
of
some
wealth
or
other
perticuler
commoditie
that
the
one
hoped
for
of
the
other
,
by
which
reazon
wee
reade
that
Antigonus
perswaded
his
sonne
Demetrius
to
marrie
an
old
woman
named
Philla
,
vsing
the
authoritie
of
Euripides
which
he
altered
to
his
purpose
,
and
in
liew
that
the
verse
said
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
he
sayd
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
to
the
ende
the
sence
might
importe
that
for
some
benefite
hee
should
not
differ
the
mariage
of
a
wife
,
though
of
a
contrary
age
.
As
on
the
other
side
also
ouermuch
youth
was
neuer
accoumpted
meete
for
the
coniunction
of
mariage
,
because
therein
generation
cannot
bee
but
lame
and
vtterly
vnperfect
:
the
mother
in
greater
daunger
at
her
childbirth
:
the
father
more
vndiscreete
in
the
coniunction
,
and
so
the
more
hindered
from
atteining
to
that
perfection
and
force
which
Nature
reserueth
to
their
bodies
:
wherevpon
the
auncients
imagined
that
the
Idoll
of
Apollo
gaue
the
Trezenians
warning
,
6
Finally
,
concerning
this
present
argument
although
the
sayd
Lady
Iane
of
Albret
had
offended
in
marying
with
the
late
Antonie
of
Bourbon
Duke
of
Vendosme
,
because
she
had
beene
afore
married
to
the
Duke
of
Cleue
,
yet
were
that
no
let
why
the
King
of
Nauarre
now
raigning
should
not
bee
borne
of
the
lawfull
mariage
of
the
sayd
Antony
of
Bourbon
his
father
,
who
doing
amisse
&
that
vpon
simplicitie
vnder
the
authoritie
and
in
the
face
of
the
Church
with
publicke
credite
did
solemnize
the
said
mariage
:
in
which
cace
there
is
no
doubt
but
the
Children
of
a
putatiue
mariage
,
as
say
the
Canonistes
,
are
legitimate
,
because
in
a
doubtfull
cace
sentence
must
passe
in
fauour
of
the
marriage
and
of
the
children
borne
in
the
same
,
the
question
depending
vpon
the
simple
meaning
&
conscience
of
him
that
meaneth
to
marrie
a
wife
:
for
by
the
lawes
and
decrees
of
the
Church
,
opinion
hath
the
vpperhand
of
trueth
:
so
as
by
the
common
resolution
,
it
is
enough
for
the
legitimation
of
children
,
that
either
the
one
or
the
other
of
the
contracters
ment
good
faith
in
that
coniunction
,
beleeuing
it
to
be
a
thing
lawful
for
him
.
7
Their
seconde
obiection
importeth
that
the
sayd
Lorde
King
of
Nauarre
is
an
Hereticke
,
and
therefore
vnworthy
to
succeede
in
the
Realme
of
Fraunce
,
whose
Kings
are
intituled
most
Christian
,
in
respect
of
the
oath
that
they
take
at
their
sacring
in
the
hands
of
the
Archbishop
of
Rheimes
:
which
is
,
that
to
their
powers
they
shall
defende
the
Catholicke
Religion
and
faith
:
which
the
sayd
Lord
King
of
Nauarre
cannot
doe
,
as
professing
an
opinion
already
condemned
by
the
Church
,
and
so
consequently
can
not
pretend
aught
in
the
sayd
Crowne
,
neither
may
the
subiects
thereof
obeye
him
,
according
to
the
decree
of
the
generall
Counsaile
holden
at
Roome
vnder
Innocent
the
third
,
Assuredly
this
obiection
at
the
first
blush
beareth
a
great
shewe
:
but
we
must
therein
of
necessitie
resolue
two
poyntes
,
the
one
of
the
lawe
,
the
other
of
the
deede
.
In
the
first
wee
are
to
dispute
whether
an
heretick
may
be
depriued
of
that
Realme
that
falleth
to
him
by
succession
,
as
this
doth
to
the
King
of
Nauarre
.
In
the
other
,
whether
in
this
present
action
the
King
of
Nauarre
may
bee
termed
an
Hereticke
,
and
as
such
a
one
bee
depriued
of
his
succession
.
8
For
the
first
I
saye
and
maintaine
,
that
those
Ordenances
of
Emperors
,
and
Canonicall
decrees
,
which
doe
depriue
hereticks
of
successions
,
are
written
and
speake
onely
of
particuler
Christians
,
whose
goodes
and
successions
are
subiect
to
the
politicke
lawes
of
the
Magistrates
of
the
land
:
but
it
is
otherwise
in
cace
of
Empires
and
Realmes
,
which
may
not
bee
wrested
out
of
their
handes
that
are
the
true
Lordes
of
the
same
either
for
heresie
or
other
cause
whatsoeuer
,
Counsaile
,
equitie
,
wisedome
&
knowledge
are
myne
,
by
me
do
Kings
raigne
,
and
Counsailors
publish
their
decrees
in
righteousnesse
:
of
me
are
Empires
holden
.
The
like
is
to
be
read
in
the
prophesie
of
Daniell
.
The
sentence
is
according
to
the
decree
of
the
watch
men
,
and
according
to
the
worde
of
the
holy
one
,
to
the
ende
the
liuing
may
knowe
that
the
most
high
hath
power
ouer
the
kingdome
of
men
,
and
giueth
it
to
whomsoeuer
he
will
,
and
appointeth
ouer
it
the
most
abiect
among
men
.
The
same
Prophet
soone
after
saith
as
much
to
Balthazar
King
of
Babylon
,
in
representing
to
him
the
force
of
Nabuchodonozer
the
Monarke
of
Assiria
.
The
Prophet
Ieremie
in
his
speech
of
the
King
of
Kings
teacheth
vs
also
,
I
haue
made
the
earth
,
and
man
and
beast
vppon
the
face
of
the
earth
through
my
force
,
and
with
my
outstretched
arme
,
&
haue
giuen
it
to
whom
it
hath
pleased
me
.
So
that
●ubiects
are
not
to
search
into
their
Kings
,
neither
are
borne
but
to
obey
and
serue
whatsoeuer
their
Princes
be
,
without
any
further
enquirie
of
their
righteousnesse
.
Feare
the
King
,
and
knowe
that
his
election
is
of
God
,
saith
the
Apostle
.
And
when
any
of
them
doe
commaunde
or
wield
the
Scepter
royall
,
it
commeth
of
the
fauour
,
goodnesse
and
grace
that
God
purposeth
to
extende
to
his
people
,
in
graunting
them
a
good
King
endued
with
pietie
,
iustice
and
Christian
Religion
:
the
others
also
are
the
scourges
and
roddes
of
his
wrath
and
iustice
,
whereof
the
Prophet
Ozee
saith
.
In
my
wrath
wil
I
giue
thee
a
King
.
And
Iob
:
Who
maketh
the
hypocrite
to
raigne
for
the
sinnes
of
the
people
:
for
Gods
wrath
being
kindled
against
vs
,
he
will
sende
vs
a
King
,
such
a
one
as
our
offences
shall
deserue
,
because
as
it
is
written
in
the
same
booke
of
Iob
:
If
wee
haue
a
wicked
King
wee
are
yet
worse
then
he
.
The
place
of
Isidore
is
very
fit
to
this
purpose
:
It
is
(
saith
he
)
a
hard
matter
to
make
the
Prince
amend
,
if
he
be
giuen
to
vice
,
for
the
people
stand
in
awe
of
the
Magistrate
,
but
Kings
,
if
they
be
not
withholden
by
the
onely
feare
of
God
and
dred
of
the
torments
of
hell
,
doe
abandon
themselues
to
all
libertie
and
runne
headlong
into
the
bottomlesse
pit
of
sinne
.
I
say
therefore
that
it
is
not
for
the
people
,
otherwise
then
with
humilitie
and
obedience
,
to
controule
the
actions
and
qualities
of
their
King
,
but
their
duetie
is
onely
to
cast
vp
their
eyes
to
heauen
,
and
to
consider
with
themselues
that
by
the
wil
of
God
the
Scepter
is
fallen
into
his
handes
and
power
that
beareth
the
Crowne
,
whether
he
bee
good
or
bad
,
especially
,
being
there
to
called
by
lawful
succession
,
such
as
is
in
our
France
,
wherein
by
the
Monarchiall
lawe
the
people
haue
not
onely
referred
al
their
power
into
the
Kings
hand
and
might
,
but
,
which
is
more
,
haue
also
tyed
their
owne
hands
,
so
as
they
can
haue
no
redresse
so
long
as
any
male
of
the
bloud
royall
doe
remaine
,
according
to
the
lawe
of
the
Realme
,
being
the
neerest
male
in
agnation
to
the
deceased
after
the
generall
custome
of
France
:
sith
they
are
not
free
,
but
subiect
,
they
haue
no
power
to
transferre
the
iurisdiction
or
conferre
the
title
,
neither
is
he
accoumpted
to
haue
giuen
,
that
hath
no
right
to
giue
.
In
an
other
place
the
same
Canon
Doctor
writeth
,
that
the
vassall
cannot
consent
in
the
person
of
any
other
then
his
Lorde
,
no
not
by
prorogation
of
power
,
to
that
purpose
alleadging
many
other
skilfull
persons
opinions
.
Howbeit
all
good
Catholickes
doe
to
their
great
griefe
knowe
that
most
of
the
Ecclesiasticall
persons
and
Clergie
of
Fraunce
doe
seeme
to
bee
parties
in
the
Conspiracie
that
long
since
haue
bene
deuised
against
the
state
of
this
Crowne
:
which
neuerthelesse
I
can
hardly
beleeue
,
notwithstanding
I
heare
our
ordinary
Preachers
openly
in
the
chaire
of
trueth
and
humilitie
,
preach
warre
,
bloud
,
weapons
,
rebellion
,
and
contempt
of
the
King
,
and
the
Princes
of
his
bloud
,
a
matter
detestable
and
abhominable
before
God
.

My
Maisters
,
ye
Bishops
,
Priestes
and
Doctors
,
what
weene
ye
to
doe
?
Is
this
the
commaundement
of
God
?
Is
this
the
doctrine
that
ye
are
bounde
to
plant
in
the
Christian
Church
?
Is
this
the
light
that
you
shewe
to
the
flocke
which
God
hath
committed
vnto
you
?
Is
this
the
peace
that
you
ought
to
teach
,
and
for
the
which
the
Church
poureth
foorth
her
daylie
supplications
?
What
correction
may
the
people
look
for
at
your
hands
,
whiles
your selues
are
the
authors
of
euill
?
Wil
you
doe
or
say
as
Lucifer
,
I
wil
ascend
into
heauen
and
become
like
vnto
the
most
high
God
?
Will
you
iustly
haue
the
name
to
be
the
very
enemies
of
God
,
who
commaundeth
obedience
onely
to
the
Kings
and
powers
that
he
hath
established
,
and
who
taketh
no
delight
in
any
thing
more
then
in
peace
,
hating
all
shedding
of
bloud
?
Doth
the
way
to
cure
the
rage
of
poore
mortall
creatures
consist
in
vnclothing
them
of
all
humanitie
?
in
thrusting
into
their
fist
the
sword
wherewith
to
make
away
them selues
?
by
the
authorising
of
their
furie
with
your
decrees
?
nay
,
which
is
more
,
by
stirring
them
thereto
through
your
Sermons
?
May
wee
not
reproach
vnto
you
that
which
Ieremie
prophesied
in
his
tyme
?
The
Prophetes
haue
prophesied
lyes
,
the
Priests
haue
approued
them
,
and
the
people
haue
embraced
them
?
Must
we
needes
say
of
you
as
Ezechiel
writeth
of
your
like
?
I
will
stretch
foorth
my
arme
ouer
their
Prophetes
that
see
lyes
,
and
those
that
tell
fables
,
or
do
not
serue
for
discipline
to
my
people
whom
they
haue
seduced
:
saying
,
The
peace
of
God
bee
with
you
and
yet
it
is
not
peace
that
they
seeke
?
My
Maisters
,
this
is
not
the
fruit
of
the
spirituall
doctrine
that
you
haue
in
custodie
:
beware
it
be
not
sayd
of
you
,
that
an
euill
tree
cannot
bring
foorth
good
fruite
:
you
preach
warre
,
rebellion
,
disobedience
:
you
contribute
to
Conspirators
against
your
King
and
the
Princes
of
his
bloud
:
you
deliuer
the
Townes
to
them
and
doe
put
your
flockes
into
their
hands
:
you
seeke
out
straungers
to
rule
ouer
you
,
and
doe
set
them
against
your
King
:
where
will
you
become
?
Is
this
the
Catholicke
and
Apostolick
doctrine
that
you
doe
sowe
?
Knowe
you
not
that
Iesus
Christ
is
the
foundation
of
the
Church
,
so
that
whosoeuer
will
lay
any
other
shall
destroye
himselfe
and
whatsoeuer
he
dare
vndertake
?
Is
not
the
doctrine
of
Iesus
Christ
peace
,
humilitie
,
obedience
,
and
clemencie
?
Is
it
not
written
of
you
,
Bee
yee
wise
as
Serpents
and
simple
as
Doues
?
Are
not
you
termed
the
sault
of
the
earth
,
which
beeing
shed
abroade
,
where
may
wee
gather
it
againe
?
I
wote
what
you
will
say
:
There
be
,
say
you
,
a
number
of
heretickes
which
must
bee
rooted
out
with
the
sword
,
because
their
life
is
repugnant
to
Gods
honor
.
No
,
no
,
my
Maisters
,
you
are
yet
deceiued
:
for
you
must
first
shewe
how
they
bee
heretickes
,
and
for
such
cause
then
to
be
lawfully
condemned
,
which
as
yet
you
haue
not
done
:
because
in
●rueth
your
pretended
Counsaile
of
Trent
whereby
you
haue
condemned
them
was
not
lawful
,
as
the
King
of
France
confessed
euen
while
it
was
assembled
,
and
therefore
did
not
onely
forbid
the
Bishops
of
his
Realme
your
predecessors
to
go
thereto
,
but
also
by
his
Embassadour
did
protest
that
he
could
not
accept
it
for
a
lawfull
and
generall
Counsaile
,
but
onely
for
a
particuler
assembly
gathered
together
for
the
profite
and
authoritie
of
the
Pope
and
King
of
Spayne
,
vnto
whom
they
went
about
to
giue
the
presedence
aboue
the
most
Christian
Maiestie
:
furthermore
declaring
that
he
ment
not
that
he
or
his
subiects
should
any
way
be
bound
to
the
decrees
thereof
:
but
that
contrariwise
he
was
determined
,
if
neede
were
,
to
employ
all
remedies
necessarie
which
his
predecessors
had
in
like
cace
vsed
to
procure
the
disanulling
of
the
same
.
Besides
I
saye
vnto
you
that
weapons
are
not
the
meanes
to
cure
this
mischiefe
.
Know
you
not
that
the
doctrine
of
Religion
,
either
the
error
thereof
is
a
disease
of
the
Soule
and
minde
?
seeke
therefore
for
your
partes
the
spirituall
Medicines
wherewith
to
heale
the
same
,
as
admonitions
,
prayer
,
fasting
,
&
amendment
of
your
liues
which
are
the
true
and
onely
Weapons
of
Gods
Church
.
But
what
?
are
you
not
content
with
the
extreeme
diligence
and
care
of
our
most
Christian
and
Catholike
Kings
for
the
revnion
of
their
people
into
one
only
Apostolick
Romish
Religion
?
what
haue
wee
gotten
by
so
many
fyers
,
so
much
blood
,
such
battailes
,
and
destructions
within
this
Realme
for
the
same
?
Those
that
nowe
would
rule
you
,
are
they
not
the
same
persons
that
led
the
armies
and
practized
the
occasions
of
the
passed
wars
?
haue
they
not
sufficiently
proued
,
that
neither
ster
nor
sword
are
meete
remedies
for
this
euill
?
&
that
in
one
day
of
such
troubles
Gods
Church
is
more
hurt
and
offended
through
the
disorder
of
one
lewde
Souldier
,
then
in
a
whole
yeere
of
pacient
tolleration
,
whereby
God
may
be
deuoutly
serued
,
the
King
honored
,
the
Clergie
assured
,
the
Lawe
feared
,
the
gentry
cherished
and
the
people
eased
?
to
bee
briefe
,
euery
one
by
little
and
litle
reduced
into
the
waye
of
good
life
?
which
to
bee
briefe
are
the
effectes
and
glorie
of
the
militant
Church
,
and
of
the
good
Shepherdes
of
the
the
same
.
Wee
haue
burned
them
quick
,
they
haue
quenched
the
fiers
with
their
blood
:
wee
haue
drowned
them
,
they
haue
Spawned
in
the
concauities
of
the
water
:
we
haue
murdered
them
al
in
their
sleepes
,
within
few
daies
they
haue
reuiued
againe
:
We
haue
fought
with
them
and
beaten
them
,
but
haue
not
cast
them
downe
:
To
be
brief
,
if
we
consider
how
we
haue
behaued
our selues
toward
them
,
we
shall
surely
find
that
we
haue
left
no
more
to
doe
,
but
either
to
destroy
our selues
and
perish
all
togither
,
whereby
the
one
shall
not
scorne
the
other
,
either
els
to
let
them
liue
among
vs
one
with
an
other
in
peace
and
libertie
of
conscience
,
and
neuer
be
so
desirous
to
driue
them
into
heauen
with
the
edge
of
the
Sword
.
But
will
you
haue
me
tell
you
the
trueth
?
your
pompe
,
your
pride
,
your
ambition
and
the
ignorance
of
yours
is
cause
of
al
this
mischiefe
.
Notwithstanding
you
see
the
the
Church
on
a
flame
,
who
is
there
among
you
(
I
will
except
some
small
number
)
that
endeuoureth
to
amend
his
life
,
and
to
distribute
the
Church
goods
in
such
sort
as
he
ought
?
See
wee
not
still
the
Kinges
Courtes
,
the
Townes
and
Country
full
of
superfluitie
of
our
Bishops
,
and
other
Clergie
men
?
such
a
number
of
Abbots
called
Commendatories
,
who
are
of
no
professed
order
of
Religion
,
but
doe
neuerthelesse
deuour
the
reuenues
that
belong
to
the
poore
?
so
many
beneficed
persons
with
diuers
Bishoprickes
,
Abbayes
,
Priories
and
Cures
:
some
in
title
,
others
in
commendam
,
of
the
which
they
neuer
see
so
much
as
one
,
vnlesse
it
were
to
the
ende
to
farme
the
same
foorth
?
You
may
see
their
Churches
fall
in
decay
,
and
the
Priestes
whom
themselues
haue
annoynted
begge
their
foode
,
the
rest
of
the
poore
dye
for
hunger
at
their
gates
.
And
in
one
word
to
say
all
,
these
Maisters
haue
no
money
to
doe
their
dueties
withall
,
no
not
so
much
as
to
procure
preaching
which
themselues
can
not
doe
,
or
for
performing
the
deuine
seruice
,
either
to
instruct
the
youth
.
For
euery
one
doth
sufficiently
know
that
the
late
King
Charles
the
nineth
,
whom
God
pardon
,
and
King
Henry
the
third
now
raigning
,
visiting
and
comming
to
those
Townes
wherein
the
principal
Vniuersities
of
their
Realme
are
planted
,
did
ordeine
that
the
Clergie
of
certaine
Dioceses
should
contribute
some
small
portion
toward
the
salaries
of
the
Doctors
and
Regents
of
the
same
,
yet
was
it
neuer
possible
for
these
poore
people
,
who
are
the
seedes
of
iustice
and
vertue
,
to
reape
any
one
penny
.
Our
Maisters
haue
nowe
money
enough
to
helpe
to
maintaine
warre
against
the
King
vnder
an
imaginary
and
false
pretence
of
defending
the
Catholicke
Religion
.
You
deceiue
your selues
if
you
hope
to
conuert
others
before
ye
make
cleane
your selues
,
no
neuer
looke
for
it
:
for
it
will
still
be
obiected
vnto
you
that
you
can
see
a
mote
in
other
mens
eyes
,
but
cannot
take
away
the
whole
blocke
that
blindeth
your selues
.
Why
follow
you
not
the
example
of
Moses
,
who
when
he
beheld
and
sawe
Gods
people
offende
the
deuine
Maiestie
with
Idolatrie
,
did
not
take
the
sworde
to
put
them
to
death
,
but
began
to
crye
:
O
Lorde
this
people
haue
sinned
,
forgiue
them
,
or
els
blot
mee
out
of
thy
booke
which
thou
hast
written
.
Let
vs
liue
well
,
let
vs
reforme
our selues
,
and
let
vs
not
be
so
careful
for
the
wealth
of
the
world
.
We
haue
so
long
cryed
out
against
those
of
the
pretended
Religion
concerning
this
poynt
,
that
now
they
can
say
of
vs
:
The
Doctor
is
to
blame
,
who
reproaueth
other
for
the
fault
that
himself
hath
.
Yea
they
will
saye
worse
,
for
still
they
stand
vpon
the
defensiue
,
you
are
the
assailants
:
They
haue
euermore
acknowledged
the
Kings
Maiestie
for
their
soueraigne
Lord
,
and
neuer
contemned
the
Princes
of
his
bloud
,
as
the
King
himselfe
in
his
Edicts
hath
not
sticked
to
confesse
:
but
you
endeuour
to
enstale
Straungers
against
the
estate
and
dignitie
of
his
Maiestie
,
who
both
before
he
was
King
and
since
hath
prodigally
ventred
his
life
and
hazarded
his
Crowne
for
the
glutting
of
your
desires
,
and
putting
of
your
ouer
rude
counsailes
in
execution
.
What
reason
therefore
haue
you
now
to
match
your selues
with
the
meere
enemies
to
the
peace
of
the
Church
?
enemies
to
your
Common-wealth
?
enemies
to
your
King
and
the
Princes
of
his
bloud
?
I
saye
to
your
most
Christian
,
and
Catholicke
King
,
one
that
feareth
God
,
and
one
who
hath
(
peraduenture
)
done
more
then
he
ought
for
the
getting
by
armes
that
contention
which
you
do
wish
for
.
I
am
moued
so
to
say
,
because
in
trueth
I
beleeue
and
experience
hath
taught
vs
that
the
more
we
stirre
vp
this
euill
,
the
more
it
encreaseth
:
wherefore
herein
the
best
counsaile
that
wise
men
haue
left
vs
,
were
to
resolue
our selues
that
if
this
pretended
reformed
Religion
bee
not
by
the
decree
and
establishment
of
Gods
worde
,
it
will
without
any
warres
perish
and
vanish
of
it self
,
as
haue
done
so
many
former
heresies
:
but
contrariwise
,
if
it
be
according
to
the
wil
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
we
may
crye
out
at
our
pleasures
,
but
it
will
fulfill
his
worke
.
10
But
my
Maisters
,
if
you
be
not
led
by
malice
,
are
you
so
blinde
as
to
thinke
that
the
authors
of
this
conspiracie
,
which
they
terme
a
holy
League
,
bee
ledde
by
any
zeale
of
Catholicke
Religion
?
If
that
were
their
drift
,
wherefore
haue
not
they
also
called
into
the
same
such
Lords
Princes
of
the
bloud
,
as
stil
continuing
Catholickes
,
and
liuing
according
to
the
Romish
Church
,
were
neuer
so
much
as
suspected
to
bee
of
the
pretended
reformed
Religion
?
We
know
very
well
that
the
Lord
Cardinal
of
Bourbon
(
whose
yeres
they
haue
seduced
,
and
whom
vnder
a
vaine
hope
of
smoke
they
make
to
weare
the
knife
wherewith
to
embrue
his
hands
in
his
owne
bloud
,
hauing
wrested
from
him
the
fayrest
and
most
of
his
Benefices
,
whereof
,
by
their
suggestion
hee
hath
depriued
his
owne
Nenewes
)
before
he
altogether
became
vnnaturall
,
&
when
they
bounde
him
to
this
peeuishnesse
,
offering
vnto
him
their
fayned
League
to
signe
,
requested
that
his
Neuewes
the
Lordes
Cardinall
of
Vandosme
,
Prince
of
Conty
and
Earle
of
Soissons
might
bee
included
in
the
same
,
wherto
these
our
Maisters
could
not
intend
.
Whereof
doe
they
suspect
the
Lord
Duke
of
Montpensier
,
and
the
Lord
Prince
of
Dombes
his
sonne
,
both
being
most
Catholicke
Princes
?
onely
that
they
bee
of
the
house
of
Bourbon
which
they
seeke
to
roote
out
,
and
so
doe
make
accoumpt
to
transferre
the
Crowne
into
their
owne
handes
,
trying
themselues
onely
vpon
the
sayd
Lord
Cardinall
,
a
man
worne
and
of
small
continuance
:
so
contenting
themselues
to
make
him
the
standerd
whereby
to
establish
their
armes
:
neither
would
they
auctorize
the
rest
among
their
troupes
,
fearing
least
they
should
haue
better
eyes
then
the
sayd
Lorde
Cardinall
to
discouer
their
wicked
entents
:
besides
that
if
it
shoulde
so
fall
out
that
they
shoulde
come
to
the
drawing
of
l●ttes
for
the
beane
in
the
cake
,
the
people
would
rather
haue
recourse
to
these
Princes
as
to
the
braunches
and
sprigges
of
their
Kings
,
and
those
who
onely
in
their
degrees
and
order
are
capable
of
the
Crowne
of
France
:
either
els
least
the
French
Nobilitie
should
blush
for
shame
at
the
preferring
of
the
tirannous
dominion
of
strangers
,
before
their
French
Princes
and
lawfull
Lordes
.
This
is
not
the
first
day
that
the
house
of
Bourbon
haue
bene
subiect
to
the
enuie
and
malice
of
these
Espaniolized
conspirators
:
for
it
appeared
more
euidently
when
the
Duke
of
Vendosme
father
to
the
now
raigning
King
of
Nauarre
,
maried
the
heire
of
Nauarre
,
whom
one
of
their
predecessors
was
very
desirous
to
match
withall
.
The
said
Lord
of
Montpensier
should
be
very
blinde
if
he
could
not
(
by
the
welcome
that
the
parrisans
gaue
him
lately
at
Orleans
with
Cannon
shot
)
perceiue
that
it
is
not
Catholicke
Religion
that
they
fight
for
,
but
the
rooting
out
of
the
royall
famelie
.
As
also
before
when
in
his
absence
while
he
was
gone
to
accompanie
the
late
Monsier
the
Duke
,
brother
to
the
King
into
Brabant
,
they
procured
the
taking
away
of
the
gouernement
of
Brittaine
from
him
,
which
now
they
clayme
to
be
theirs
,
some
in
the
right
of
their
mother
and
other
of
their
wife
.
But
I
hope
the
King
shall
be
able
notwithstanding
they
endeuour
to
dispossesse
him
,
to
make
himselfe
whole
,
to
the
and
after
to
heare
them
in
their
petitions
,
if
hee
finde
the
same
reasonable
.
Moreouer
to
returne
to
you
my
Maisters
of
the
Clergie
,
I
will
set
you
downe
most
pertinent
demonstrations
of
their
zeale
to
the
Catholicke
Church
,
and
will
tell
you
that
after
they
had
fayled
of
their
enterprise
against
the
Towne
of
Straus
borowe
,
(
by
the
spoyle
whereof
they
hoped
for
meane
sufficient
to
demaunde
Mets
,
Thoul
,
&
Verdun
,
and
therewithall
,
together
with
other
the
Townes
vpon
the
shore
of
Rhine
,
which
easily
they
would
haue
forced
,
to
haue
prosecuted
their
purpose
for
the
rest
of
the
Realme
of
Fraunce
)
they
endeuoured
to
winne
those
of
the
pretended
reformed
Religion
,
vnto
whom
they
promised
not
only
such
free
exercize
of
their
religion
,
as
the
King
now
raigning
had
permitted
them
,
but
also
,
if
neede
were
,
with
greater
libertie
and
assurance
,
and
to
the
same
ende
offered
to
send
their
male
children
and
young
Cousens
for
hostages
into
Germany
,
vnder
the
pretence
of
learning
the
Dutch
tongue
:
perswading
the
French
of
the
sayd
Religion
,
that
they
should
neuer
liue
assured
vnder
the
King
:
that
by
that
which
was
passed
they
might
beleeue
that
he
would
enfringe
his
Edicts
of
Pacification
,
vpon
his
first
oportunitie
:
that
neither
the
King
of
Nauarre
,
neither
the
Prince
of
Condy
had
authoritie
sufficient
to
defend
them
:
to
be
brief
,
that
it
was
their
best
to
offer
themselues
into
their
protection
,
who
had
both
the
men
of
warre
,
the
Clergie
,
and
the
gouernors
of
the
Prouinces
at
their
deuotion
.
To
the
same
effect
they
also
sent
the
late
Lorde
of
May
,
to
Duke
Casemire
,
to
winne
hym
into
this
League
,
and
also
to
practize
the
same
with
those
of
the
pretended
reformed
Religion
,
offering
to
commit
their
forces
into
his
hands
:
besides
setting
before
him
that
he
was
discended
of
the
race
of
Charlemagne
as
well
as
they
:
that
they
might
make
the
one
a
great
Emperour
,
the
other
a
great
King
:
that
the
Capeti●s
had
ouer
long
enioyed
their
inheritance
,
and
that
they
were
resolued
no
longer
to
suffer
it
.
As
in
deede
about
the
time
of
the
siege
of
Fere
,
the
sayd
May
practized
all
that
he
perceiued
discontented
to
signe
the
sayde
conspiracie
,
vntill
he
was
wounded
at
the
said
siege
:
whereof
when
the
chief
of
this
drift
had
notice
,
he
posted
from
Paris
vnto
him
to
get
from
him
the
Articles
of
the
League
:
as
also
after
the
decease
of
the
sayd
May
,
hee
sent
to
his
house
to
make
search
among
al
the
papers
&
remembrances
of
the
sayd
deceased
.
Beleeue
not
therefore
my
Maisters
,
that
it
is
the
loue
of
God
that
leadeth
them
,
either
piety
of
Catholicke
Religion
,
but
say
boldly
that
it
is
no
other
but
ambition
,
a
wicked
and
abhominable
entent
to
lose
and
alter
this
Estate
and
to
get
it
into
their
handes
,
and
so
to
make
you
bondmen
to
their
passions
,
or
executioners
of
their
tyrannie
.
Wherefore
I
beseech
you
to
call
to
minde
the
saying
of
Ioel.
Awake
(
my
Maisters
)
you
that
are
dronken
with
your
Wine
,
weepe
and
lament
,
for
all
your
ioye
and
mirth
is
gone
farre
from
you
.
Put
on
your
mourning
weedes
ye
Priestes
that
serue
at
the
Aulter
,
for
our
land
is
become
miserable
:
and
our
fieldes
doe
now
weepe
,
sith
they
are
become
barren
:
our
Wines
withered
,
our
Oyle
diminished
,
and
our
labourers
brought
into
necessitie
.
And
againe
:
weepe
ye
Clergie
that
serue
God
,
and
in
liew
of
other
weapons
say
,
Lorde
forgiue
this
people
and
forsake
not
thy
enheritance
.
As
for
your
liues
,
direct
them
after
the
example
of
the
Apostle
,
who
sayth
:
Wee
are
as
young
children
among
you
,
or
as
the
nurse
preserueth
her
little
ones
,
euen
so
we
doe
merueilously
loue
you
,
and
doe
couet
not
onely
to
teach
you
,
but
to
offer
our
liues
for
your
preseruation
.
Put
awaye
all
hatred
,
mallice
,
guile
,
emulation
,
enuie
and
backbyting
:
feede
vpon
milke
that
we
growe
therein
to
our
saluation
,
for
almightie
God
is
mercifull
.
My
Maisters
,
I
pray
you
pardon
me
,
I
knowe
I
might
haue
spoken
more
gently
vnto
you
,
but
to
what
purpose
is
it
only
with
the
fingers
to
touch
the
wound
,
or
to
annoynt
onely
the
outside
thereof
with
too
easie
an
oyntment
,
when
you
see
it
is
tyme
to
crush
it
throughly
:
to
expell
all
corruption
that
marreth
the
whole
body
?
What
had
I
bene
the
better
to
haue
ministred
a
tent
of
lint
,
when
it
wanted
a
sharpe
corosiue
.
Take
therefore
in
good
parte
this
that
I
say
vnto
you
,
for
it
is
the
doctrine
that
I
haue
learned
in
the
Schoole
of
the
Catholicke
Apostolicke
and
Romish
Church
:
the
greatest
Doctors
whereof
without
humaine
passions
will
graunt
that
al
the
Sermons
and
Preachings
wherewith
you
stirre
vp
the
people
to
take
armes
and
shed
bloud
,
are
no
other
then
the
deuilles
Trompets
and
Drommes
:
as
also
surely
if
you
seeke
any
other
weapons
then
clemencie
and
Christian
pietie
doe
teach
,
and
that
with
Tertullian
you
say
not
you
had
rather
be
killed
than
kil
,
I
do
foreshew
vnto
you
the
wrath
of
God
vpon
you
,
and
that
vndoubtedly
the
prophesie
of
Malachie
will
bee
verefied
in
you
in
these
wordes
:
My
wrath
is
kindled
against
the
Shepeheards
,
whom
I
will
visite
among
the
flockes
.
11
Much
lesse
are
we
also
to
care
for
the
complaint
that
some
of
the
vnwisest
of
your
men
doe
lay
vpon
the
King
for
exacting
some
of
your
tenths
,
and
vsing
sometimes
,
as
the
necessitie
of
his
Estate
requireth
,
the
temporalties
of
his
Churches
,
wherein
they
are
much
to
blame
,
and
do
ouergreatly
abuse
the
libertie
that
the
conniuence
of
Princes
haue
tollerated
in
your
predecessors
,
in
respect
of
their
pietie
and
endeuours
in
the
distribution
of
their
meanes
,
possessions
and
almoses
giuen
to
the
poore
vnto
whom
the
Church
goods
doe
appertaine
,
and
not
to
you
.
Besides
that
I
will
by
the
way
tell
you
that
the
wealth
of
the
Church
is
the
onely
poyson
thereof
,
for
that
the
greatnesse
thereof
consisteth
not
in
temporall
goodes
and
worldly
pompe
,
as
the
deuill
hath
perswaded
most
of
our
Clergie
,
but
in
the
holy
and
commendable
life
of
our
Pastors
,
and
in
that
heauenly
foode
that
they
giue
to
their
flockes
ouer
the
which
they
watch
night
&
day
:
It
is
certaine
that
the
common
wealth
is
not
in
the
Church
,
but
contrariwise
the
Church
is
in
the
common
wealth
vnder
the
aucthritie
whereof
she
displaieth
the
Sunne
Beames
of
her
fayre
face
.
Herevpon
doe
wee
reade
that
the
Emperour
Constantine
the
great
,
was
the
kéeper
and
disposer
of
the
treasure
and
goods
of
the
Church
,
after
the
example
of
the
auncient
kings
of
Iuda
,
of
whome
among
other
it
is
found
of
Ioas
,
the
he
,
by
the
counsaile
Ioiadas
the
Priest
,
Inter
claras
,
C.
de
Tri.
written
to
the
Emperour
Iustinian
,
at
such
tyme
as
no
doubt
the
Church
was
vnder
the
dominion
of
the
Emperour
,
They
endeuour
as
much
to
rule
the
Temporall
as
the
Spirituall
.
The
Apostles
would
not
distribute
that
money
which
they
had
common
among
them
.
Our
great
Law-giuer
&
King
Charlemaigne
,
Wee
knowe
Gontran
and
his
neuewe
to
bee
the
children
of
our
Kings
,
but
for
Godoald
we
wot
not
what
he
is
nor
from
whence
:
Prepare
ye
therfore
ye
Frenchmen
,
and
if
Disier
would
force
you
to
doe
this
iniurie
to
your
Kings
,
defend
your selues
,
&
let
him
perish
as
Sigulphus
,
that
he
may
bee
an
example
to
all
other
,
to
the
ende
no
straunger
doe
presume
to
violate
and
taint
the
Maiestie
of
the
Realme
of
France
.
12
To
all
the
premisses
,
&
to
the
discourse
of
the
duetie
and
respect
that
subiects
owe
in
our
cace
to
their
Kings
and
Princes
,
the
disturbers
of
the
peace
&
lawes
of
this
Realme
doe
aunswer
perticulerly
against
the
King
of
Nauarre
,
that
he
shal
neuer
be
King
of
France
,
before
he
bee
after
the
auncient
maner
obserued
(
as
they
weene
)
euer
since
Clouis
the
first
Christian
King
,
consecrated
,
annoynted
,
and
crowned
:
and
that
nature
onely
cannot
make
him
King
,
without
the
ordinary
Ceremonies
obserued
at
the
comming
in
of
a
new
Prince
.
And
so
consequently
they
dare
inferre
that
,
notwithstanding
al
our
former
discourse
be
true
,
yet
can
it
not
bee
applyed
to
the
sayd
Lord
King
of
Nauarre
,
to
whom
the
French
men
cannot
be
bound
without
his
annointing
and
coronation
,
King
liueth
perpetually
,
and
leaueth
the
Realme
to
his
neerest
by
vertue
of
the
law
successiue
;
By
reason
whereof
he
is
true
and
perfect
Lord
before
he
bee
crowned
:
neither
doth
his
coronation
serue
but
for
a
declaration
and
publication
of
the
honor
of
the
marke
of
his
calling
,
which
was
obteyned
to
him
before
,
both
by
nature
and
by
the
lawe
of
succession
,
which
needeth
no
further
declaration
of
the
successor
,
in
that
it
is
not
simply
hereditarie
to
the
deceased
,
but
custumary
and
legitimate
at
the
very
instant
of
the
former
Kings
decease
,
which
seazeth
not
the
natural
successor
of
the
Lordship
and
royall
power
onely
,
but
also
of
the
possession
and
effectuall
enioying
of
the
same
.
Wherevpon
all
our
Interpretors
doe
maintaine
that
in
feudall
causes
and
matters
the
successor
is
in
a
maner
seazed
in
his
predecessors
life
tyme
,
vnder
whom
he
is
halfe
possessioner
without
any
further
inuestiture
:
especially
in
our
France
,
where
it
is
obserued
without
contradiction
.
For
that
concerning
the
Realme
,
the
coronation
ensuing
is
but
the
habite
and
royall
ensigne
,
and
therefore
al
good
men
will
graunt
that
the
King
is
annoynted
and
crowned
because
he
is
King
:
but
contrariwise
that
he
is
not
king
because
he
is
crowned
:
for
so
theeues
and
Tyrants
beeing
the
stronger
might
become
lawfull
Kings
,
and
with
ouer
much
facilitie
alter
the
cause
of
their
possession
through
that
ceremonie
.
So
was
the
Emperour
of
the
Romaines
lawfull
,
after
he
had
beene
elected
and
saluted
,
in
testimonie
and
for
a
proofe
of
which
election
only
he
set
a
Crowne
vpon
his
head
,
a
Scepter
of
Iuorie
in
his
hand
,
and
beeing
apparelled
in
a
Purple
robe
,
did
alwaies
walke
forth
with
fower
and
twentie
Huissiers
,
Pasargades
,
that
the
Priestes
,
might
there
consecrate
them
in
a
Temple
dedicated
to
one
of
the
Goddesses
of
warres
,
where
the
Prince
putting
of
his
own
Robes
,
did
put
on
the
same
that
the
auncient
Cirus
vsed
to
weare
before
he
was
King
:
he
also
did
eate
of
a
Cake
made
with
Figges
and
Turpentine
,
and
drancke
a
potion
made
of
Vineger
and
Milke
.
The
auncient
Kings
of
Greece
,
in
liewe
of
a
Diadem
,
were
wont
to
cary
a
Speare
,
or
a
Staffe
,
which
the
Grecians
termed
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
.
13
It
followeth
,
sith
I
haue
proued
vnto
you
,
that
in
this
cace
the
sayde
King
of
Nauarre
(
whom
the
deepe
dissemblers
dare
not
openly
in
their
Libelles
denye
to
be
the
nearest
of
the
bloud
)
should
be
your
natural
,
true
,
and
lawfull
King
,
let
vs
agree
together
that
it
were
meere
wrong
for
you
to
withstand
or
resist
him
.
I
say
further
,
that
in
this
Realme
there
is
neither
lawe
nor
order
that
debarreth
him
from
lawfull
raigne
and
the
Crowne
,
notwithstanding
he
would
remaine
in
his
now
professed
Religion
.
But
contrariwise
,
that
such
as
are
of
and
doe
professe
the
same
,
are
declared
meete
and
capable
of
all
kindes
of
succession
,
by
infinite
the
Edicts
,
Decrees
,
and
declarations
of
our
Kings
,
published
,
enrouled
,
and
dayly
put
in
execution
by
the
Arrestes
of
the
soueraigne
Courtes
,
and
other
Magistrates
,
who
vnder
his
Maiesties
authoritie
doe
minister
Iustice
in
this
Estate
,
&
whose
common
crye
tendeth
to
obliuion
and
perpetuall
forgetting
of
the
passed
miseries
and
troubles
.
As
also
in
trueth
it
is
more
then
a
Catholicke
passion
to
compare
the
Huguenot
with
a
Iewe
or
Turke
.
For
besides
that
our
Kings
doe
auctorize
and
permit
the
one
,
and
not
the
other
,
in
trueth
and
without
affection
,
(
for
my selfe
am
a
Catholick
,
and
in
the
same
faith
doe
wish
to
dye
)
we
all
doe
agree
in
our
faith
,
so
as
there
remaineth
no
more
but
to
decide
for
the
most
part
of
controuersie
,
the
institution
of
outwarde
ceremonies
,
which
either
the
tyme
or
the
necessitie
of
the
peoples
instruction
haue
procured
to
bee
brought
into
the
Church
,
&
be
not
conteined
or
authorized
in
the
holy
Scripture
.
Sith
therfore
wee
doe
agree
,
that
in
the
first
times
the
Christians
did
liue
and
serue
GOD
without
them
,
we
can
not
now
lesse
doe
then
heare
the
reasons
of
those
that
craue
abolition
before
we
condemne
or
pronounce
them
Heretikes
,
least
the
condemnation
goe
before
the
proofe
,
and
so
they
haue
greater
cause
to
complaine
,
(
as
already
they
doe
)
that
wee
haue
iudged
them
vnheard
,
and
haue
ended
their
Proces
vpon
defaultes
and
contumacie
.
Wherefore
the●
protest
they
are
ready
to
pourge
themselues
,
if
we
would
graunt
them
free
accesse
into
the
assembly
of
the
church
,
and
not
stand
vpon
the
pointes
of
not
receiuing
them
,
grounded
vpon
the
long
time
that
wee
haue
bene
in
possession
of
the
obseruing
of
these
traditions
,
from
hand
to
hand
receiued
by
the
consent
and
common
agreement
of
the
Church
,
because
if
we
had
no
other
argument
,
wee
should
not
be
able
to
deny
,
but
that
our
fathers
when
they
brought
them
in
were
men
,
and
therefore
subiect
to
humaine
frailtie
,
as
in
many
other
things
experience
may
teach
vs
.
I
will
content
my selfe
with
one
onely
example
to
our
purpose
.
Antipodes
,
it
seemed
he
would
also
bring
in
an
other
Christ
.
This
matter
was
debated
before
Vtilo
King
of
Bauiere
,
who
at
the
commaundement
of
Zachary
,
denounced
the
sayd
Virgilius
to
bee
one
of
the
most
abhominable
Heretikes
that
euer
was
:
So
great
was
the
obstinacie
of
the
knowledge
conceaued
in
this
age
of
the
Antipodes
or
Arteques
,
and
yet
since
it
hath
bene
verefied
for
trueth
:
This
neuerthelesse
I
doe
not
alledge
,
to
the
ende
to
reproue
the
institution
of
the
ceremonies
of
the
Church
,
with
which
I
doe
dayly
serue
GOD
,
especially
knowing
,
that
in
alteration
of
Lawes
and
Orders
,
necessity
must
be
very
apparent
in
the
correction
of
matters
long
before
allowed
,
but
onely
to
admonish
all
men
,
that
in
as
much
as
they
are
men
,
it
is
no
meruaile
though
some
will
be
inquisitiue
whether
the
authors
of
the
same
were
led
by
the
will
of
God
,
or
whether
therein
they
enterprised
any
thing
repugnant
thereto
,
especially
,
sith
the
question
concerneth
the
maintenance
of
the
peace
,
liues
,
and
soules
of
so
many
millions
of
parsons
,
who
either
might
,
or
are
already
lost
vpon
this
quarell
.
And
this
I
will
say
more
,
that
sith
the
fault
hath
proceeded
of
our
Prelates
,
who
haue
fallen
a
sleepe
,
and
haue
not
mainteined
the
fare
that
they
ought
for
the
nourishment
of
their
Flockes
,
who
being
ignorant
in
the
most
part
of
the
principles
of
their
religion
,
haue
gone
out
of
their
ranck
,
and
doe
perticulerly
require
the
reasons
thereof
:
it
is
most
necessary
gently
to
giue
them
a
taste
of
the
same
,
without
sword
or
fire
,
vntil
the
condemned
bee
at
large
heard
in
their
defences
and
lawfully
conuict
.
14
Moreouer
I
dare
aduowe
,
that
in
Realmes
and
Empires
natural
Succession
,
receiued
by
the
estates
,
is
of
such
force
,
that
the
best
and
most
Catholicke
Parsons
neuer
enterprized
against
the
progresse
of
the
same
,
as
occasions
haue
bene
ministred
,
no
not
for
Heresie
,
although
it
were
condemned
,
and
with
all
solemnitie
accursed
by
the
Church
of
GOD
:
Notwithstanding
vndoubtedly
by
other
dealing
,
they
might
haue
hoped
for
better
,
and
that
they
were
in
maner
assured
of
manifold
afflictions
at
hand
?
Had
not
certein
Bishops
Arriens
infected
Constantius
,
when
he
succeeded
his
father
,
although
he
were
very
yong
?
What
was
the
cause
that
Zeno
being
an
heritick
,
was
neuerthelesse
made
Emperour
after
his
father
in
lawe
Leo
,
but
that
the
Empire
was
atteyned
for
his
wife
AriadNe
,
and
little
Leo
sonne
to
the
said
Zeno
,
whom
his
Grandfather
had
instituted
to
bée
his
heire
?
in
consideration
whereof
the
Christians
were
content
to
beare
that
affliction
.
Constantine
the
third
and
the
fifth
,
when
they
were
called
to
the
Empire
were
heretickes
,
but
yet
in
asmuch
as
they
were
lawfull
successors
to
the
last
deceased
,
the
Church
would
not
meddle
with
them
.
When
Anastaze
the
first
was
chosen
,
no
other
cause
moued
the
Patriarke
of
Constantinople
and
the
people
to
force
a
promise
from
him
that
afterward
hee
should
be
a
Catholicke
,
or
at
the
least
that
he
should
not
make
any
alteration
or
stirre
vp
any
broyle
in
the
Church
of
God
,
but
onely
because
he
was
then
an
Eutichian
,
who
was
condemned
by
the
Counsaile
of
Chalcedon
:
and
the
same
is
the
onely
caution
that
you
may
exact
or
require
of
your
King
,
in
cace
he
were
other
then
a
Catholicke
,
sith
the
Christian
Church
neuer
desired
greater
assurance
of
the
aforenamed
then
their
faith
and
royall
promise
.
I
might
bee
tedious
if
I
should
rehearse
vnto
you
an
infinite
number
of
other
examples
,
whereby
euery
one
may
manifestly
perceiue
that
the
holy
Primitiue
Church
neuer
accoumpted
it
so
smal
a
matter
to
violate
the
lawes
of
the
Estate
,
or
to
habandon
that
obligation
that
wee
owe
to
such
a
Prince
as
is
either
lawfull
successor
to
the
deceased
,
or
els
solemnly
elected
.
Who
is
he
that
wil
not
thinke
the
Bishoppes
of
those
former
tymes
that
I
speake
of
to
haue
bene
farre
more
zealous
in
their
charge
and
better
liuers
than
the
most
parte
of
ours
?
in
respect
whereof
they
might
euen
with
their
credite
only
haue
sooner
perswaded
the
people
that
thei
gouerned
,
for
Religion
and
godlinesse
sake
,
to
haue
expelled
,
deposed
,
and
banished
those
hereticall
Emperours
,
aswel
as
to
haue
admitted
them
into
that
succession
that
by
the
politick
order
of
the
Empire
was
vnto
them
due
,
either
to
obey
,
or
yeeld
them
al
fidelitie
:
was
it
want
of
power
,
all
the
world
being
Christian
,
euen
in
the
Prime
of
the
Church
about
one
hundred
yeeres
after
that
the
Temples
of
the
Greeke
Idols
had
bene
shut
vp
,
whereby
not
so
much
as
the
memorie
of
them
remained
among
the
subiects
of
this
great
Monarchie
?
I
will
by
the
way
rehearse
vnto
you
a
Decree
of
the
Church
made
for
the
posteritie
of
Kings
,
least
you
shuld
thinck
me
either
to
be
led
by
affection
,
or
to
haue
told
you
fables
.
Heare
therfore
the
wordes
of
the
Fathers
assembled
in
a
Counsaile
.
Like
as
the
Insolencie
of
wicked
Kings
haue
euermore
bene
odious
and
abominable
to
the
subiects
,
so
haue
the
people
alwaies
liked
wel
of
the
prouident
foresight
of
the
good
:
who
therefore
could
suffer
or
beholde
a
Christian
offending
in
that
poinct
,
or
that
were
desirous
to
expell
the
posteritie
or
ligne
Royall
from
such
rights
and
dignities
as
thereto
doe
apperteyne
?
Such
dealing
doe
we
therefore
expressely
forbid
,
&
in
fauour
of
the
posteritie
of
the
most
excellent
Prince
Chintillus
,
we
doe
renew
and
confirme
the
decree
that
was
made
the
last
yere
at
the
Synode
houlden
in
this
Church
concerning
the
loue
and
good
will
that
euery
one
is
bound
to
beare
to
the
Kings
ligne
,
and
to
the
defence
and
preseruation
which
all
subiectes
of
the
Estate
doe
owe
thereto
,
to
the
ende
the
successors
be
not
maliciously
defrauded
of
the
merites
of
their
predecessors
in
the
augmentation
of
their
Crowne
,
or
their
great
liberalitie
toward
their
subiects
.
Also
that
none
doe
enterprize
to
hurt
them
,
because
it
is
meete
that
by
the
authoritie
of
a
Counsaile
we
do
graunt
peace
to
the
succession
and
posteritie
of
those
by
whose
meanes
and
vnder
whose
protection
wee
haue
aforetyme
bene
preserued
.
Admit
therfore
that
the
Church
made
this
Decree
in
respect
of
that
obligation
that
she
deemed
the
subiectes
ought
to
the
posteritie
of
their
Kings
,
either
for
the
loue
and
reuerence
of
those
that
had
well
gouerned
their
Commonwealths
:
euen
as
GOD
,
who
is
the
author
and
holder
vp
of
Monarchies
,
would
neuer
take
the
Scepter
wholy
from
Iuda
,
for
his
seruaunt
Dauids
sake
:
yet
if
our selues
would
but
call
to
mind
so
many
good
Kings
of
this
race
,
especially
the
father
of
the
house
of
Bourbon
,
the
Lorde
S.
Lewes
,
whom
for
his
good
life
the
Church
hath
canonized
,
and
whose
memorie
ought
to
be
vnto
vs
holy
&
honorable
,
we
should
shewe
our selues
most
wicked
,
periurde
,
vnthankful
and
disloyall
persons
,
if
wee
should
seeke
or
but
make
any
countenaunce
to
thinke
vpon
innouating
any
thing
against
this
posteritie
.
15
Good
men
are
not
ignorant
of
the
pretences
that
these
great
bucklers
of
the
faith
doe
take
hold
of
:
which
are
,
first
that
the
King
of
Nauarre
being
King
,
would
polute
,
subuert
&
abolish
Catholick
Religion
in
France
,
and
force
his
subiects
to
become
huguenots
.
But
to
say
the
trueth
,
this
vizard
is
lesse
then
nothing
:
for
his
former
behauiours
will
presently
force
vs
to
confesse
the
contrary
:
because
our selues
haue
seene
with
what
importunacie
he
hath
besought
our
Kinges
,
as
beeing
their
subiect
,
and
perswaded
them
to
suffer
him
and
his
partakers
to
liue
vnder
their
obedience
in
all
libertie
of
conscience
.
Wherefore
then
should
we
thinke
,
that
when
he
were
soueraign
he
would
practize
against
his
people
any
enterprize
repugnant
to
that
lawe
,
which
himselfe
,
being
in
their
race
,
sought
to
enioye
vnder
the
Kings
,
his
Lords
?
Shal
we
presume
that
such
a
Christian
&
wise
Prince
,
instructed
in
the
feare
of
God
,
would
become
a
Tyrant
&
torment
the
soules
of
his
subiects
against
that
Religion
,
which
with
vniforme
consent
haue
so
many
hundred
yeres
bene
receiued
in
the
Church
?
especially
considering
that
himself
could
not
abide
to
haue
his
owne
brought
into
bondage
.
Moreouer
,
with
you
,
ye
trompets
of
sedition
,
I
doe
agrée
that
then
he
should
be
no
more
able
then
now
:
that
such
as
would
perswade
him
that
the
third
part
of
the
French
are
Huguenots
,
are
no
good
Arithmeticians
:
also
that
for
our
preseruation
in
that
estate
wherein
we
now
liue
,
we
neede
no
more
but
to
set
against
him
our
walles
.
I
would
therefore
aske
you
what
cause
you
should
haue
to
feare
that
he
would
endeuour
to
force
you
to
liue
in
any
other
Religion
than
the
same
wherein
he
find
you
and
your selues
doe
desire
,
when
in
so
doing
he
may
happen
to
haue
but
euill
successe
,
and
therewithall
lose
the
loue
of
the
whole
worlde
?
were
not
this
as
much
as
(
according
to
the
Prouerbe
)
to
goe
about
to
shaue
an
Egge
.
16
As
also
the
obiection
that
they
make
,
namely
that
in
the
lands
of
Bearne
and
low
Nauarre
where
he
is
soueraigne
,
the
Catholick
Apostolick
Romish
Religion
is
not
permitted
,
is
in
trueth
full
of
subteltie
,
slaunder
and
enuie
:
for
hereunto
he
doth
pertinently
(
in
my
opinion
)
aunswere
,
that
in
respect
of
the
land
of
Bearne
,
it
was
not
he
that
forbad
it
,
neither
are
his
aduersaries
able
to
proue
any
inhibition
thereof
in
his
name
,
or
from
him
,
but
contrariwise
he
assureth
himselfe
that
it
will
appeare
that
immediatly
or
soone
after
the
decease
of
the
late
Queene
of
Nauarre
his
mother
,
his
Maiestie
by
the
Lord
of
Grāmont
,
dispatched
his
Letters
into
the
country
of
Bearne
,
importing
that
his
will
was
to
restore
and
therein
to
set
vp
againe
the
exercize
of
the
sayd
Religion
:
Vpon
which
commandement
the
States
being
assembled
,
they
denyed
to
put
the
same
in
execution
,
fearing
such
troubles
and
seditions
as
might
ensue
,
the
people
beeing
haughtie
,
mutinous
,
and
difficult
enough
to
bee
contented
,
together
with
such
small
store
of
Catholickes
in
the
sayde
Countrey
to
prosecute
the
execution
thereof
if
need
should
require
.
What
would
you
then
haue
him
to
doe
more
?
He
did
not
the
harme
,
but
went
about
to
cure
it
,
there
was
none
that
desired
to
take
his
medicine
.
What
more
can
the
Phisition
doe
to
his
Patient
but
prepare
him
the
potion
which
may
bee
to
his
health
,
and
for
want
of
the
which
if
he
lose
himself
,
is
he
not
rather
to
blame
his
owne
obstinacie
,
then
him
that
could
not
make
him
take
his
appointment
.
For
since
that
time
,
the
Estates
beeing
diuers
tymes
assembled
in
the
sayde
Countrey
,
did
nener
require
his
Maiestie
to
restore
the
sayd
Catholick
Romish
Religion
,
which
alwaies
hee
offered
to
doe
,
and
still
so
long
as
he
liue
,
wil
,
if
they
doe
require
it
.
As
for
lowe
Nauarre
,
the
exercize
of
Catholicke
Religion
is
there
most
free
:
yea
,
which
is
more
,
throughout
that
Countrey
there
is
no
assembly
of
the
pretended
reformed
Religion
,
but
onely
in
two
places
,
as
is
most
euidently
knowne
,
neither
hath
his
Maiestie
innouated
any
thing
at
his
comming
throughout
the
sayd
lands
of
Bearne
or
Nauarre
.
But
what
,
is
it
meete
for
these
feares
and
friuolous
doubtes
of
a
matter
that
neuer
can
come
to
passe
,
to
destroye
this
poore
Realme
with
immortall
warres
?
and
so
make
vs
miserable
before
the
tyme
?
crye
out
before
we
be
touched
?
and
to
hasten
and
aduaunce
the
sorowes
of
our
pretended
mischiefes
?
will
you
begin
to
crucifie
and
tye
vs
to
a
Caucasus
for
our
whole
life
tyme
?
or
will
you
force
vs
here
to
begin
our
hell
?
Is
not
the
King
(
thankes
bee
to
God
)
yong
enough
,
in
good
health
,
and
of
sufficient
disposition
to
see
the
raking
both
of
the
King
of
Nauarre
,
and
of
the
rest
of
the
Princes
of
his
age
?
why
then
should
we
mistrust
the
grace
of
God
?
17
As
for
the
Protestation
that
the
sayde
Lord
King
of
Nauarre
made
the
yere
1584.
in
a
Synode
by
the
Ministers
of
his
Religion
holden
in
the
Towne
of
Montauban
,
wherby
he
protested
and
declared
that
he
would
liue
and
dye
therein
,
and
defend
the
same
:
I
wot
not
well
why
wee
are
so
slye
as
for
that
cause
to
blame
him
,
or
bee
more
vehement
against
him
then
before
,
as
in
deede
a
number
of
persons
too
much
ouerruled
with
vnreasonable
passions
,
haue
misliked
it
,
and
haue
thervpon
gathered
some
sinister
iudgement
of
the
affection
of
the
sayd
Lord
King
of
Nauarre
to
the
Catholickes
,
whome
most
hartely
I
beseech
with
me
to
consider
.
First
,
that
his
protestation
imported
not
the
rooting
of
vs
out
,
neither
together
with
vs
the
Religion
of
the
Romish
Church
,
as
the
League
doth
him
and
his
partakers
:
so
that
his
protestation
is
simply
defensiue
,
and
could
not
therefore
be
more
gentle
,
for
the
which
wee
are
rather
to
commend
then
to
reproue
him
,
sith
our selues
are
bound
daily
to
make
the
like
profession
in
the
Catholicke
Apostolicke
Romish
Church
:
also
that
euery
faithfull
Christian
is
likewise
bound
by
the
Sacrament
of
Baptisme
to
make
the
like
declaration
:
especially
Kings
and
Princes
,
who
ought
to
be
mirors
&
spectakles
to
their
subiects
:
yea
,
the
confession
of
their
faith
should
serue
for
a
publick
example
in
the
assemblies
made
for
the
Estate
of
the
Church
,
such
as
are
the
Counsailes
,
Sinodes
,
and
other
like
,
wherein
it
hath
euermore
bene
noted
,
that
Emperours
,
Kings
and
Princes
thereat
assistant
,
did
make
profession
of
their
faithes
,
with
protestation
to
defend
the
same
.
Hereof
wee
haue
for
testimonie
Constantine
the
Great
,
in
the
Counsaile
of
Nice
:
Theodose
the
Yonger
,
in
the
Counsaile
of
Ephesus
:
Martian
,
in
the
Counsaile
of
Calcedon
:
Iustinian
the
first
,
in
the
Counsaile
of
Constantinople
:
Charlemaigne
,
in
the
Counsaile
of
Francfort
,
with
infinite
other
Christian
and
Catholicke
Princes
.
Sith
therefore
the
King
of
Nauarre
hath
bene
brought
vp
in
that
Religion
which
he
holdeth
,
and
that
the
King
by
his
Edicts
permitteth
the
free
exercize
thereof
throughout
his
Realme
,
why
should
wee
mislike
that
hee
assisting
at
an
assembly
thereof
,
protesteth
to
liue
and
dye
in
the
defence
of
the
same
?
especially
seing
that
it
is
no
let
,
but
that
when
by
a
lawfull
Counsaile
,
either
generall
or
nationall
,
(
which
the
King
and
his
Counsaile
shall
thincke
most
sufficient
for
that
purpose
)
we
shall
haue
perswaded
him
not
to
bee
caried
awaye
without
reason
,
hee
may
immediatly
returne
and
protest
that
hee
hath
bene
misled
,
and
that
hee
weareth
not
the
sworde
but
for
the
defence
of
the
Romish
Church
,
as
now
hee
voweth
the
vpholding
of
his
owne
.
Moreouer
,
I
would
that
such
as
are
offended
at
the
sayd
Protestation
,
should
know
that
the
occasion
that
moued
the
sayd
Lorde
King
of
Nauarre
to
bee
present
at
the
sayd
assembly
at
Montauban
,
was
not
small
,
neither
of
small
importance
to
the
reputation
of
him
and
his
Estate
:
for
it
is
not
vnknowne
to
all
that
his
enemies
had
raised
a
speech
aswell
among
al
forraine
Nations
,
and
throughout
Europe
,
as
also
perticulerly
in
this
Realme
,
that
the
sayde
Lorde
King
of
Nauarre
,
had
put
from
about
his
person
the
Ministers
of
his
Religion
:
that
hee
went
to
Masse
:
to
be
briefe
,
that
to
the
ende
by
the
death
of
the
late
Mounsier
the
Duke
,
to
insinuate
himselfe
further
in
his
Maiesties
fauour
,
and
to
bee
neerer
vnto
him
he
had
determined
to
al●er
his
Religion
.
Which
was
a
subtile
?
●llicie
both
to
bring
him
into
suspition
with
his
owne
partakers
,
and
into
contempt
among
the
Catholickes
:
so
as
by
that
meanes
both
parts
might
haue
forsaken
and
despised
him
,
and
so
he
might
become
a
pray
to
their
fayned
League
,
as
a
man
light
,
vnconstant
,
and
of
small
stedfastnesse
,
which
is
one
of
the
chiefest
things
that
euery
Christian
Prince
ought
to
abhorre
,
especially
in
causes
of
Religion
,
which
we
may
not
lightly
change
,
neither
without
great
notice
of
the
cause
,
and
the
discourse
thereof
publickly
argued
in
the
Church
of
God
,
but
especially
in
our
awne
consciences
.
Wherefore
good
men
neither
ought
,
ne
can
mislike
that
the
sayd
Lord
King
of
Nauarre
doth
protest
to
liue
and
dye
in
his
Religion
,
permitted
vnder
the
Kings
authoritie
by
his
Maiesties
Edicts
,
published
euen
by
the
decree
of
the
States
of
the
Realm
:
neither
are
wee
to
terme
him
an
hereticke
or
obstinate
person
,
vntill
wee
haue
lawfully
by
a
free
vniuersall
or
nationall
Counsaile
,
(
whether
shall
seeme
most
expedient
)
condemned
that
opinion
which
he
holdeth
.
Will
ye
likewise
that
I
shewe
you
what
mistrust
the
Catholickes
may
conceiue
of
his
goodnesse
and
singuler
clemencie
?
Then
would
I
pray
the
most
passionate
to
consider
and
looke
vpon
his
famelie
:
They
shall
finde
the
same
to
consist
for
the
most
part
of
Catholicke
Officers
.
But
of
what
sorte
?
Euen
such
as
are
neerest
about
his
person
,
who
haue
him
in
their
hands
vpon
their
honors
and
consciences
,
to
whom
he
committeth
himselfe
,
and
vpon
whom
of
himself
he
doth
depend
,
as
vpon
his
keepers
,
Maisters
of
his
Guardrobe
,
Stewardes
,
and
many
others
,
who
before
his
face
with
his
liking
and
contentation
being
in
his
trayne
,
do
ordinarely
go
to
the
Masse
,
&
assist
at
the
deuine
Seruice
ministred
after
the
maner
of
the
Catholick
Romish
Church
.
To
be
brief
,
euen
with
this
qualitie
he
acknowledgeth
them
for
his
good
,
faithfull
and
loyall
seruants
.
This
could
they
not
assure
themselues
of
,
neither
yet
serue
him
with
good
hearts
,
beeing
such
men
of
honor
as
they
are
,
if
in
his
behauiours
they
could
perceiue
any
mistrust
(
which
is
the
nource
of
hatred
and
mallice
)
against
the
professors
of
their
Religion
,
or
if
they
could
finde
(
which
were
easie
to
doe
)
that
he
did
euill
entreate
or
forbid
them
to
serue
God
after
their
maner
,
and
so
sought
to
bee
the
tormentor
of
their
consciences
.
To
conclude
,
al
these
considerations
alledged
against
the
King
of
Nauarre
,
which
are
neither
true
neither
of
any
outwarde
apparence
,
cannot
in
the
consciences
of
good
men
,
&
truely
French
,
debarre
him
from
beeing
sufficient
and
capable
of
the
Crowne
of
France
:
yea
further
,
I
say
that
the
same
notwithstanding
,
he
is
your
true
and
lawfull
King
,
to
whome
onely
you
are
bound
to
obeye
in
cace
during
his
life
,
the
sayde
occasion
of
substitution
should
fall
out
,
which
God
forbid
,
and
which
also
neither
he
ne
wee
ought
or
should
desire
,
if
either
wee
were
Christians
,
either
els
did
beare
any
iot
of
hartie
good
will
or
affection
to
our
King
.
18
To
proceede
,
let
vs
see
whether
a
king
houlding
the
Scepter
,
or
raigning
ouer
any
estate
,
especially
ouer
ours
,
may
appoint
and
nominate
any
other
successor
then
him
whom
nature
and
the
Lawe
of
the
Realme
haue
giuen
him
.
This
question
I
do
not
moue
without
cause
,
for
in
trueth
the
perturbers
of
the
peace
of
this
Crowne
,
and
such
as
iniustly
do
pretend
to
set
thereinto
a
foote
,
haue
made
a
League
which
they
entitle
Holy
.
but
al
good
med
doe
truely
name
Bloody
with
the
Pope
.
the
Spanierd
and
the
Sauoyan
,
the
conspired
enemies
to
France
and
the
Royall
blood
thereof
,
through
whose
helpe
they
hope
to
leauy
an
Army
,
wherwith
to
come
into
the
hart
of
the
Realme
,
onely
,
say
they
,
simply
to
sommon
the
most
Christian
King
to
name
a
successor
at
their
deuotions
.
Oh
what
an
execrable
mischiefe
!
to
seeke
to
force
vs
to
enfringe
the
successiue
lawe
of
this
Realme
,
whereof
we
haue
so
many
worldes
enioyed
the
blessed
good
hap
?
What
impudency
those
that
haue
not
almost
whereof
to
liue
in
their
owne
houses
,
to
goe
about
to
preuent
and
ouerthrowe
the
order
and
Estate
of
so
great
an
Empire
?
This
is
a
wonderfull
bouldnesse
,
to
endeuour
to
compell
so
mightie
a
Monarcke
as
the
French
King
,
and
their
owne
lorde
being
yong
,
healthy
,
and
such
a
one
as
it
if
please
God
,
hee
may
graunt
him
the
blessing
of
the
posteritie
of
Abraham
,
to
choose
him
a
man
to
be
his
Heir
.
But
the
French
men
doe
assure
them selues
,
that
they
haue
a
King
that
is
of
better
bringing
vp
then
so
,
one
that
is
valeant
,
feareth
God
,
and
is
ielous
of
his
honour
,
yea
such
a-one
as
would
not
for
the
getting
of
the
whole
worlde
make
such
a
breache
in
his
conscience
,
reputation
,
vertue
,
and
memory
that
our
,
Children
should
haue
cause
atro
carbone
illum
notare
,
saying
that
he
had
so
farre
hated
himselfe
and
his
owne
blood
,
as
to
haue
corrupted
the
Lawes
,
whereby
after
his
predecessors
he
doth
raigne
euen
since
the
originall
of
the
Monarchie
,
and
to
haue
transferred
the
Crowne
out
of
his
owne
famely
,
for
the
satisfying
of
the
rashnesse
of
those
,
who
finding
them selues
in
Armes
,
might
hasten
his
time
,
to
the
end
,
to
cause
him
the
sooner
to
leaue
them
his
roume
.
For
what
dareth
not
Ambition
and
desire
to
Raigne
vndertake
?
Moreouer
,
I
doe
most
humbly
beseech
his
Maiestie
to
pardon
me
,
though
I
boldly
shew
him
,
that
it
is
a
thing
that
hee
may
not
doe
:
Also
that
the
Lawe
of
the
Realme
,
whereby
him selfe
is
King
,
forbiddeth
hym
to
meddle
therewith
,
because
the
same
taken
order
therin
,
vnto
whom
it
is
commendable
in
the
Maiestie
of
a
Monarke
to
acknowledge
him selfe
bounden
.
And
thus
was
it
iudged
,
declared
,
and
put
in
execution
by
the
Parliament
of
the
Peeres
of
France
for
Charles
the
seauenth
against
the
treaty
which
king
Charles
the
sixt
in
the
yere
1420.
made
in
the
towne
of
Troye
in
Champagne
at
the
Mariage
of
his
daughter
Lady
Katherin
vnto
King
Henrie
the
fifth
of
Englande
,
which
imported
the
graunt
and
minde
of
the
sayd
King
Charles
the
sixt
,
to
be
that
the
sayd
King
of
England
or
his
issue
male
comming
of
the
sayd
mariage
,
shonld
be
called
to
the
Crowne
of
France
,
&
the
said
Charles
the
seueuth
be
thereof
debarred
and
disinherited
for
euer
.
A
man
hauing
two
wiues
,
the
one
loued
,
the
other
hated
,
&
that
thei
haue
both
brought
him
sonnes
,
aswel
the
loued
as
the
hated
,
&
the
sonne
of
the
hated
bee
the
first
borne
,
when
the
tyme
commeth
that
he
will
deuide
his
inheritance
,
he
shall
not
make
the
sonne
of
the
beloued
his
eldest
to
the
preiudice
of
the
sonne
of
the
hated
who
is
the
first
borne
:
but
hee
shall
acknowledge
the
sonne
of
the
hated
for
his
eldest
,
and
he
shall
giue
him
two
partes
of
whatsoeuer
he
hath
,
for
the
same
was
the
beginning
of
his
strength
,
vnto
whom
the
right
of
promogeniture
belongeth
,
saith
the
text
:
so
that
the
nerest
of
the
bloud
is
creditor
:
yea
he
is
moreouer
I
say
factus
dominus
by
the
decease
of
his
predecessor
,
19
Sith
therefore
the
people
and
subiects
to
this
Crowne
may
not
put
to
their
handes
,
neither
dispence
vppon
whatsoeuer
occasion
with
the
oath
that
they
owe
to
their
naturall
Princes
:
moreouer
that
the
King
can
take
no
other
order
then
the
foundation
and
lawe
of
the
Realme
will
beare
:
let
vs
see
whether
it
apperteyneth
to
the
Pope
of
Roome
,
as
head
of
the
Church
,
to
meddle
therein
.
I
knowe
that
the
Pope
worshippers
beeing
more
passionate
then
the
true
Catholicks
,
do
so
thinck
and
beleeue
.
Augustin
of
Ancona
a
Doctor
of
Sorbonne
,
hath
not
forgotten
it
in
his
booke
that
he
sent
to
Pope
Iohn
the
22.
wherein
he
excepteth
not
so
much
as
the
Realm
of
France
:
as
also
doe
not
Iames
of
Terrano
Chamberlaine
to
Vrban
the
sixt
,
in
his
treatize
of
the
Papall
Monarchie
,
wherin
they
do
maintaine
that
vnto
him
belongeth
all
power
both
Spirituall
and
Temporall
,
as
being
head
of
the
Church
,
who
is
Lord
of
the
world
,
both
did
and
ought
to
yeeld
his
oath
of
fidelitte
vnto
them
.
the
sword
of
the
Romaines
,
and
the
inuincible
Cesar
:
of
whom
the
one
fought
two
and
thirtie
pitcht
fieldes
,
the
other
two
and
fiftie
.
The
like
did
Pascall
the
second
,
and
Calixt
the
second
against
Henry
the
fifth
,
Sonne
to
the
aforenamed
,
vpon
the
same
reasons
:
as
did
also
Adrian
the
fourth
and
Alexander
the
third
,
who
set
his
feete
vpon
the
necke
of
the
Emperour
Frederick
Barberousse
:
Neither
was
Innocent
the
third
more
modest
in
the
behalf
of
Philip
sonne
to
the
said
Frederick
,
against
whom
hee
stirred
vp
Ottho
,
sonne
to
the
Duke
of
Saxony
,
who
after
was
Emperour
by
the
name
of
Ottho
the
fourth
,
after
that
with
most
arrogant
,
proud
,
and
commandatory
speeches
,
grounded
vpon
these
words
:
Tues
Petrus
,
Not
that
wee
rulee
ouer
your
faith
,
but
are
helpers
to
your
ioye
.
And
in
an
other
place
:
All
Scripture
is
inspired
from
aboue
,
and
is
profitable
to
teach
,
to
conuince
,
to
correct
,
and
to
instruct
to
righteousnesse
.
to
force
,
or
to
punish
.
Chrisostome
very
carefully
deuideth
the
royall
power
from
the
ministerie
of
the
Gospell
,
saying
that
the
ministerie
is
a
function
committed
by
God
,
to
the
ende
to
teach
without
weapons
,
also
that
it
is
no
power
to
giue
or
take
awaye
Realmes
,
neither
to
make
lawes
for
politick
gouernment
.
Our
French
Bishop
S.
Hilarie
writeth
as
much
to
the
Emperour
Constantius
:
also
against
Auxentius
Bishop
of
Millan
.
And
this
the
good
Fathers
learned
at
the
mouth
of
the
Sonne
of
God
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
The
Kings
of
the
nations
haue
dominion
ouer
them
,
but
it
shall
not
be
so
with
you
.
Let
no
man
that
fighteth
in
the
Lordes
warfare
trouble
himselfe
with
the
matters
of
this
life
:
Againe
,
The
minister
of
the
Lorde
ought
to
be
louing
to
all
men
,
meet
to
teach
,
paciently
bearing
with
the
wicked
,
with
modestie
reprouing
such
as
withstand
the
trueth
.
Briefly
in
one
word
to
say
all
:
there
be
two
kinds
of
Iurisdictions
:
the
one
earthly
committed
into
the
hands
of
Kings
and
Princes
,
to
whome
euery
one
of
whatsoeuer
degree
or
calling
,
Spirituall
or
Temporall
,
Let
euery
soule
bee
subiect
to
the
superiour
powers
,
vpon
which
place
Chrisostome
sayth
the
Apostle
vsed
this
word
euery
,
to
shew
that
there
is
no
creature
that
may
be
exempt
,
whether
he
be
saith
he
,
Apostle
,
Prophete
,
Euangelist
,
Priest
,
Monk
,
or
other
whosoeuer
.
We
also
finde
,
that
in
the
Primetiue
Church
,
before
pride
&
Ambition
tooke
roote
in
the
Bisshops
hartes
,
that
the
Popes
of
Rome
neuer
made
any
question
thereof
.
Wee
haue
also
amoug
vs
a
request
exhibited
by
Boniface
the
first
to
Honorius
Emperour
of
the
West
,
wherein
hee
beseecheth
him
to
decree
,
that
afterwarde
the
Bishops
and
Popes
of
Rome
might
not
bee
chosen
by
fauour
,
or
any
other
vnlawfull
meane
,
Whosoeuer
offendeth
against
God
,
hath
God
a
sufficient
reuenger
.
)
our
good
God
hath
referred
to
himselfe
all
the
punishment
,
to
the
end
the
sinner
may
haue
meanes
to
acknowledge
his
offence
,
and
repent
the
same
in
this
world
.
The
Kingdome
of
God
encreaseth
through
the
meanes
of
earthly
Realmes
,
to
the
ende
such
as
be
of
the
body
of
the
Church
,
if
they
offende
or
blaspheme
,
may
be
punished
by
the
rigor
of
Princes
,
and
so
that
discipline
whereto
the
Church
can
not
binde
them
,
may
neuerthelesse
bee
preserued
through
the
authoritie
of
Monarchies
.
The
like
wherof
haue
bene
vsed
against
heretickes
by
all
Christian
Princes
,
especially
in
our
France
,
by
an
infinite
number
of
lawes
both
olde
and
newe
of
our
most
Christian
Kings
.

In
deede
it
is
the
duetie
of
the
Priestes
and
Bishops
to
know
,
soluti
vel
legati
ab
Ecclesia
:
wherein
onely
consisteth
his
power
to
bind
or
lose
in
heauen
:
as
S.
Hierome
doth
very
well
note
in
his
opening
of
the
place
of
Sainct
Mathewe
,
21
But
in
asmuch
as
the
people
haue
not
to
deale
therewith
,
also
that
the
Bishoppe
of
Roome
in
that
qualitie
which
he
pretendeth
,
hath
no
such
power
,
his
authoritie
beeing
meerely
and
simply
Spirituall
,
and
in
no
poynt
concerning
the
Realmes
of
the
world
:
what
shal
we
then
say
if
Emperours
or
other
soueraigne
Kings
were
(
as
they
are
men
and
subiect
to
corruption
,
)
hereticks
,
or
otherwise
euill
liuers
?
were
it
not
a
marueilous
offence
to
see
them
raigne
with
all
power
,
and
be
as
scourges
and
persecutors
of
Gods
Church
?
In
this
question
I
am
to
desire
the
French
to
weigh
the
aunswer
of
that
wise
and
great
personage
Sainct
Augustin
.
If
Emperours
,
sayth
he
,
be
in
error
,
and
according
to
their
error
do
prescribe
lawes
against
the
trueth
,
wherby
the
righteous
may
be
tryed
and
crowned
,
he
aunswereth
not
that
they
must
be
expelled
or
deposed
of
their
Empire
,
wee
must
not
doe
those
things
that
wickedly
they
commaund
.
Wee
are
(
saith
he
)
discryed
vnto
the
Emperours
Maiestie
,
and
yet
were
the
Christians
neuer
proued
to
bee
Albinians
,
Nigrians
,
or
Cassians
,
who
were
the
conspirators
against
the
Emperors
,
M.
Antonius
the
Philosopher
,
Commodus
,
Pertinax
,
and
Seuerus
,
each
after
other
,
but
contrariwise
those
that
lately
tooke
the
oath
&
condemned
the
Christians
,
haue
bene
found
to
be
the
Emperours
enemies
:
neuer
a
Christian
was
there
in
that
faction
,
as
knowing
that
the
Imperiall
Maiestie
ordeyned
of
God
,
must
bee
loued
,
reuerenced
,
and
honored
,
whose
prosperitie
,
as
also
the
welfare
of
the
whole
Romaine
Empire
,
they
are
to
desire
,
so
long
as
the
world
standeth
,
for
so
long
shall
the
same
continue
.
We
doe
therfore
worship
the
Prince
,
according
as
is
lawfull
and
requisite
,
his
Maiestie
beeing
second
after
God
,

the

canonized

not

neither
did
his

Iohn

was

neither
did

molest
him
,
in

of
the
curse
that
Innocent
the
third
had
denounced
against
him
in
the
yere
1212.
vntill
he
became
a
Tyrant
and
extreme
oppressor
of
the
people
,
who
then
,
beeing
prouoked
,
vnder
pretence
of
the
sayd
interdiction
,
did
him
some
displeasure
:
Howbeit
,
so
soone
as
hee
seemed
willing
to
mend
his
maners
toward
the
English
nation

fell

Su●noo
King
of
Denmarke
about
the
yeere
of
our
Lord
850.
whom
God
hath
ioyned
together
,
let
no
man
put
a
sunder
.
22
But
let
vs
more
perticulerly
learne
whether
the
sentence
of
excommunication
,
were
lawfully
,
vppon
reasonable
cause
and
exemplary
occasion
,
pronounced
against
a
King
,
and
done
by
the
iudgements
of
many
Popes
of
Roome
within
these
fiue
hundred
yeeres
,
against
such
Kings
and
Emperours
,
to
whom
they
haue
borne
bad
minds
.
Although
I
thinke
it
not
meete
to
ground
any
lawe
vpon
the
examples
of
these
men
,
in
troth
,
full
fraught
with
ambition
,
&
more
then
humaine
affection
:
but
it
is
requisite
to
examine
this
question
by
the
rules
of
Gods
lawe
and
politicke
reason
,
established
for
the
preseruation
of
the
societie
of
mankinde
.
Herein
therefore
I
say
that
the
sentence
of
excommunication
denounced
against
a
King
,
how
iust
soeuer
the
cause
bee
,
and
conteyneth
dispensation
for
the
oath
and
duetie
that
the
subiects
do
owe
vnto
him
,
this
licence
and
tolleration
vnto
the
people
graunted
,
is
repugnant
to
the
lawe
of
God
,
and
all
mans
reason
.
For
,
sith
the
subiects
are
by
Gods
commandement
bound
to
obeye
their
Princes
whatsoeuer
,
without
any
further
enquirie
of
their
consciences
and
behauiours
,
we
are
especially
to
beware
of
those
things
that
cannot
be
receiued
without
great
inconueniences
.
Caesar
shareth
Empire
with
Iupiter
:
neither
is
the
Ecclesiasticall
power
other
then
Spirituall
,
concerning
the
Kingdome
of
heauen
,
and
therefore
vnprofitably
and
wrongfully
they
should
thrust
their
Sythe
into
other
mens
haruest
,
and
without
authoritie
or
Iurisdiction
should
meddle
with
the
gouernment
of
mans
policie
,
and
the
gouernments
of
Realmes
or
earthly
Empires
,
considering
the
kingdome
of
God
,
whereof
they
are
Stewards
and
doe
weare
the
keyes
,
is
not
of
this
world
.
As
also
of
such
dispensation
would
ensue
to
great
iniustice
,
because
that
sith
the
holy
Church
giueth
remission
for
whatsoeuer
sinne
,
and
receiueth
the
excommunicated
,
after
he
hath
made
sufficient
satisfaction
and
done
penance
worthy
his
misdeede
,
it
should
come
to
passe
that
such
a
King
or
Prince
,
notwithstanding
he
were
reunited
to
the
Church
,
and
had
satisfied
the
commaundement
thereof
,
must
neuerthelesse
remaine
banished
from
his
estate
already
possessed
by
the
first
of
his
neighbors
,
that
shall
haue
receiued
this
rebellious
people
,
and
of
this
trouble
taken
occasion
to
become
maister
thereof
,
at
whatsoeuer
price
:
from
whence
it
would
be
vnpossible
to
auoyd
him
without
warres
and
generall
trouble
arising
of
such
dispensation
:
and
so
should
the
domage
done
to
the
excommunicate
King
through
the
sentence
of
excommunication
,
which
was
layd
vpon
him
only
for
correction
and
admonition
to
confesse
his
fault
,
&
to
aske
pardon
openly
of
GOD
and
his
Church
,
remaine
irreparable
.
To
be
briefe
,
of
extreme
lawe
would
arise
extreme
iniurie
,
whereof
this
poore
,
miserable
,
excommunicate
and
desperate
Prince
finding
himselfe
agrieued
with
the
permission
to
his
subiects
to
rebel
,
would
growe
more
obstinate
in
his
vice
for
feare
of
losing
his
Crowne
:
so
in
liew
of
vrging
him
to
penance
and
satisfaction
to
the
Church
for
the
offence
arising
of
his
sinne
,
he
shall
waxe
worse
,
and
the
Ecclesiasticall
discipline
bring
forth
no
fruite
,
and
thereby
growe
into
contempt
:
And
vndoubtedly
therein
consisteth
the
discretion
of
a
Lawyer
and
Iudge
,
so
to
make
his
lawes
,
&
so
well
to
order
his
iudgements
,
that
immediatly
without
difficultie
,
how
notable
soeuer
they
be
,
they
may
bee
put
in
execution
.
23
Consequently
a
question
may
be
propounded
,
whether
it
be
lawfull
for
a
King
or
Prince
to
appeale
therefro
as
of
abuse
,
but
also
by
weapons
to
resist
and
withstande
the
execution
of
such
a
sentence
,
because
it
permitteth
the
subiectes
to
shake
of
the
yoke
of
his
obedience
,
&
refuse
him
the
duetie
of
their
obligation
:
which
is
the
same
question
,
which
Lewes
the
12.
of
Fraunce
moued
to
the
Bishops
assembled
in
Tours
in
the
yeere
1510.
concerning
the
peeuish
and
rash
excommunications
layd
vpon
him
and
his
confederates
by
Iulius
the
second
:
whereto
the
said
Bishops
made
aunswere
,
that
by
all
lawes
the
sayde
King
was
permitted
by
whatsoeuer
meanes
,
yea
euen
by
armes
to
withstand
such
the
Popes
friuolous
and
wrongfull
declarations
.
Which
aunswere
,
in
my
opinion
,
is
founded
vpon
all
reason
aswell
naturall
as
ciuill
,
because
it
is
certaine
and
euident
,
that
the
clause
of
the
sentence
of
excommunication
of
the
King
,
For
if
the
Magistrate
doth
any
thing
iniuriously
,
either
as
a
perticuler
person
,
either
vpon
confidence
of
his
authoritie
,
he
may
be
sued
of
iniurie
.
Besides
that
wee
haue
before
proued
that
the
ordering
,
Iurisdiction
,
and
notice
of
worldly
causes
and
Kingdomes
belongeth
not
to
the
Cleargie
,
to
whom
is
committed
onely
the
publication
of
the
spiritual
and
heauenly
s●orde
,
sentence
pronounced
by
an
incompetent
Iudge
,
is
voyd
in
this
head
,
neither
is
any
man
bounde
to
obeye
that
Magistrate
that
hath
iudged
aboue
his
authoritie
.
To
this
purpose
Pope
Gelasius
,
writing
to
the
Bishops
of
the
East
,
doth
confesse
,
that
if
the
iudgement
be
vniust
,
the
lesse
neede
the
condemned
to
care
,
for
that
such
a
sentence
cannot
make
the
condemned
guiltie
before
God
and
his
Church
.
that
he
should
neuer
sue
for
absolution
,
beeause
it
hurteth
him
not
.
In
an
other
place
Pope
Gregorie
confesseth
,
that
he
cannot
incurre
canonicall
paines
that
is
not
canonically
condemned
.
In
the
interpretation
of
which
place
Iohn
Andrew
the
gloser
doth
teach
vs
,
that
it
is
lawfull
to
withstande
the
execution
of
a
iudgement
knowne
to
be
none
,
and
giuen
by
such
a
one
as
hath
no
authoritie
.
The
same
doth
Celestin
graunt
when
he
speaketh
of
the
election
of
a
Bishop
,
against
the
minds
of
the
Cleargie
of
that
Dioces
where
he
should
sit
:
24
Now
haue
wee
yet
the
second
question
to
enquire
of
,
for
our
better
instructions
in
this
matter
:
That
is
,
whether
the
King
of
Nauarre
bee
an
Hereticke
.
His
aduersaries
doe
say
that
his
opinion
of
Religion
was
lately
condemned
in
the
late
oecumenicall
Counsaile
holden
at
Trent
.
Beleeue
not
euery
spirite
,
but
prooue
whether
they
be
of
God
.
Saiuct
Hierome
also
teacheth
vs
,
that
the
doctrine
of
the
holy
Ghost
is
the
same
which
is
set
downe
in
the
Canonicall
Scriptures
,
against
which
if
the
Counsailes
determine
any
thing
,
it
shall
be
wicked
.
Trye
all
(
sayth
the
Apostle
)
and
hold
that
which
is
good
.
The
worde
of
GOD
is
pure
,
and
feareth
not
the
fiery
tryall
:
for
it
is
a
true
saying
,
The
lawe
that
will
not
bee
tryed
,
may
iustly
be
suspected
.
After
then
that
in
a
generall
and
free
Counsayle
,
all
parties
haue
bene
heard
,
&
that
by
the
onely
worde
of
God
,
and
without
affection
they
haue
debated
their
cause
,
so
that
finally
the
opinion
which
the
sayd
Lord
King
of
Nauarre
holdeth
,
bee
adiudged
hereticall
,
he
is
so
Catholick
and
zealous
a
Prince
,
and
one
that
so
feareth
God
,
that
he
wil
not
stick
publickly
in
the
Church
to
confesse
he
hath
strayed
and
hether
to
bene
mis●ed
.
In
the
meane
tyme
,
and
wayting
for
the
sayd
lawfull
Counsaile
,
neither
the
French
King
,
neither
his
Courtes
of
Parliament
,
would
euer
in
this
Realm
publish
the
decrées
of
the
assembly
of
Trent
,
neither
doe
any
other
receiue
them
then
the
Cleargie
,
who
are
the
suppostes
of
the
Popes
Monarchy
.
But
contrariwise
the
late
King
Henry
the
second
sent
Embassadours
expressely
to
withstande
the
sayd
pretended
Counsaile
,
also
to
declare
that
he
ment
not
in
any
wise
to
allowe
thereof
:
as
in
●rueth
it
cannot
be
admitted
without
infringing
the
rightes
and
authorities
of
the
King
of
France
,
the
auncient
decrees
ordeyned
in
the
generall
Estates
of
the
Realme
,
vnder
the
forme
of
a
pragmaticall
sanction
,
and
the
most
holie
liberties
of
the
French
Church
,
whereby
the
Maiestie
of
this
florishing
Crowne
is
preserued
.
25
Neither
is
it
any
newe
matter
to
say
in
Fraunce
,
that
the
King
and
his
French
Church
will
not
receiue
the
same
Counsaile
,
because
our
Kings
haue
euermore
vpholden
and
preserued
aboue
al
other
,
the
libertie
and
franchize
of
their
Church
,
and
neuer
bound
themselues
to
the
Popes
constitutions
,
or
late
Counsayles
,
no
further
then
the
same
were
conformable
to
the
decrees
of
the
vniuersall
Church
,
&
nothing
derogatorie
to
the
rightes
of
their
Crowne
.
For
proof
therof
,
we
know
that
the
generall
Counsaile
of
Vienna
,
was
neuer
wholy
receiued
in
this
Realm
.
In
that
of
Constance
,
the
libertie
,
franchizes
,
and
priuiledges
of
the
French
Church
were
admitted
,
according
to
the
declaration
exhibited
by
the
Embassadours
of
the
most
Christian
Maiestie
.
As
for
that
of
B●sill
,
King
Charles
the
seuenth
would
not
permit
his
subiects
to
appeare
at
the
conclusion
of
the
same
:
after
the
which
at
Bourges
he
assembled
al
his
Church
,
by
whom
the
decrees
of
the
same
Counsaile
were
perused
,
and
onely
parte
of
them
accepted
with
such
qualifications
as
were
thought
meete
to
that
effect
:
whereupon
was
formed
the
Pragmaticall
sanction
,
soone
after
published
in
the
Parliament
,
wherein
these
words
are
often
repeated
.
Item
,
our
Synode
accepteth
the
decree
following
:
thereby
to
shewe
that
in
France
we
are
not
bound
to
the
Popes
ordenances
,
constitutions
,
or
decrees
,
neither
to
the
assembly
summoned
by
his
authoritie
,
56
Moreouer
the
sayd
Lord
King
of
Nauarre
demaundeth
of
you
,
by
vertue
of
what
doe
you
esteeme
hym
an
Heretick
and
obstinat
parson
?
For
it
is
certaine
,
that
he
onely
may
be
tearmed
an
Heretick
,
who
vpholdeth
a
false
doctrine
contrary
to
the
holy
Scriptures
of
the
ould
and
newe
Testament
,
beleeuing
amisse
in
any
one
of
the
Articles
of
our
faith
,
as
did
the
Manicheans
,
Nestorians
,
Sabellians
,
Arrians
and
their
like
.
Now
to
say
trueth
,
they
would
perswade
vs
,
that
the
opinion
houlden
by
the
saide
Lorde
King
of
Nauarre
was
monstrous
:
we
haue
bene
hallowed
after
them
like
Dogges
:
wee
haue
bene
forbidden
their
company
as
of
infidels
and
miscreants
.
I
beseech
you
therefore
,
let
vs
carefully
looke
into
the
confession
of
their
faith
,
and
we
shall
find
them
Christians
,
such
as
agree
with
vs
in
the
articles
of
our
belief
:
doe
worship
the
same
God
:
seeking
saluation
in
the
same
Iesus
Christ
:
Chrildren
of
the
same
father
:
beleeuing
the
same
Bible
,
assuring
them selues
in
the
same
Gospell
,
as
in
the
same
Buckler
of
their
faith
:
requiring
part
in
the
same
inheritance
and
in
vertue
of
the
same
Testament
,
as
we
.
The
whole
controuersie
betweene
them
and
vs
consisteth
in
that
,
that
they
finding
many
mens
additions
and
constitutions
in
the
Church
,
and
among
the
simple
and
pure
ordenances
of
the
Gospell
,
doe
craue
pourging
and
reformation
,
and
in
cace
of
refusall
thereof
for
feare
of
their
soules
and
desire
of
saluation
haue
withdrawn
themselues
,
as
men
content
with
the
simple
forme
ordeyned
in
the
Primitiue
Church
,
&
wee
haue
thought
that
sauing
our
consciences
wee
may
stay
therein
attending
necessary
reformation
.
Either
of
vs
seeke
saluation
and
tend
to
one
ende
,
and
by
the
same
meanes
are
all
one
and
the
same
woorke
of
Gods
hand
:
all
faithfull
seruants
in
the
faith
in
one
Baptisme
:
all
Grapes
of
one
Vine
:
yea
,
all
braunches
of
one
Grape
:
wee
must
therefore
knowe
why
one
should
be
an
Hereticke
rather
then
an
other
,
sith
wee
are
all
of
like
faith
:
vse
like
bookes
:
&
tend
to
like
end
.
This
is
it
(
in
my
iudgement
)
that
causeth
the
King
of
Nauarre
to
complaine
,
that
wrongfully
he
is
termed
an
Hereticke
,
before
his
opinion
hath
bene
condemned
in
a
free
,
holy
,
and
determined
Counsaile
,
whereat
euery
one
may
safely
appeare
.
As
for
the
obstinacie
to
him
obiected
,
I
would
weete
for
what
benefite
hee
should
in
this
cause
bee
obstinate
?
what
good
?
what
aduancement
?
what
peace
?
what
ease
may
he
therein
hope
for
?
He
hath
habandoned
the
Courte
of
his
Soueraigne
Lord
the
King
:
he
hath
long
through
the
subtelties
and
slaunders
of
his
enimies
,
bene
out
of
his
fauour
,
which
is
the
mishap
that
with
greatest
impatience
he
hath
borne
:
Hee
hath
bene
depriued
of
most
of
his
houses
:
alwaies
in
the
fielde
:
sometimes
badly
prouided
,
armed
,
enuironed
▪
&
his
life
in
a
thousand
daungers
:
where
as
otherwise
he
had
bene
assured
at
his
Maiesties
handes
of
all
fauour
,
amitie
,
honor
,
peace
,
and
humaine
felicitie
.
Any
man
therefore
of
iudgement
can
neuer
be
perswaded
that
this
Prince
,
whom
in
other
matters
we
know
to
be
wise
and
discrete
,
would
haue
chosen
to
haue
spent
the
most
parte
of
the
flower
of
his
youth
in
miserie
and
perpetuall
care
,
only
vpon
a
contradictorie
and
obstinate
mind
,
not
proceeding
other
than
from
his
affection
to
the
honor
of
God
and
the
saluation
of
his
soule
.
Moreouer
,
besides
the
infinite
abuses
of
the
sayd
Counsayle
,
whereby
it
is
vtterly
none
,
it
is
not
vnknowne
to
al
men
that
in
France
the
King
of
Nauarre
is
not
such
a
one
,
as
by
the
policie
of
the
Realme
ought
to
bee
depriued
of
the
succession
of
the
Crowne
when
it
should
fall
to
him
:
because
those
of
his
partie
liuing
therein
vnder
the
Kings
good
liking
and
obedience
are
not
incapable
to
enter
vppon
all
kinde
of
goodes
and
inheritances
which
to
them
may
apperteyne
either
naturally
,
or
ciuilly
,
according
to
the
lawes
commonly
receiued
in
this
Monarchie
,
by
the
ordenances
of
the
generall
Estates
of
the
same
,
as
the
subiects
thereof
doe
knowe
&
ordinarely
it
is
adiudged
in
the
soueraigne
Courts
of
France
,
therein
ensuing
the
Edicts
made
within
these
twentie
yeres
vnder
Charles
the
nineth
,
and
Henry
the
third
now
raigning
:
so
as
to
esteeme
the
sayde
Lorde
King
of
Nauarre
,
to
bee
in
worse
estate
concerning
succession
in
the
Realme
,
then
the
meanest
subiect
thereof
,
and
to
his
preiudice
to
restrayne
the
publicke
and
generall
lawe
,
were
vnder
correction
,
besides
all
reason
,
order
,
or
apparance
,
the
force
of
law
is
to
be
maeinteyned
vntill
the
cause
of
Nullitie
be
decided
:
with
this
exception
,
Quod
praeiudicium
legis
fiat
.
Especially
in
France
where
the
most
Christian
King
and
Soueraigne
Courtes
did
neuer
approue
the
sayde
Counsaile
,
as
it
is
most
certaine
and
euident
.
So
that
although
the
nullities
thereof
might
bee
couered
vnder
a
consequent
approbation
of
the
Counsaile
,
yet
could
not
that
take
place
in
this
Realme
,
which
,
by
the
testimonie
of
the
Popes
themselues
is
not
bound
to
take
law
or
to
accommodate
it self
to
the
sentence
,
publication
or
pleasure
of
any
Prince
or
Potentate
whatsoeuer
in
the
world
.
Let
therfore
the
Spanyard
or
Sauoian
compell
their
subiects
to
liue
according
to
the
decrees
therof
,
yet
haue
not
the
most
Christian
King
and
his
Parliaments
prescribed
it
for
a
lawe
to
them selues
.
Besides
,
to
come
more
perticulerly
thereto
,
the
King
of
Nauerre
,
notwithstanding
he
bee
a
Christian
King
and
soueraigne
Prince
,
and
so
acknowledged
by
his
aduersaries
,
especially
by
the
Pope
,
yet
was
he
neuer
summoned
or
heard
in
the
sayde
Counsaile
,
so
that
consequently
the
decrees
and
iudgements
there
passed
are
not
deemed
against
him
,
to
binde
him
,
either
to
force
him
to
the
obseruing
of
the
same
.
Againe
,
admit
hee
had
bene
heard
,
also
that
the
lawe
of
the
Counsaile
of
Trent
had
bene
lawfull
,
yet
who
did
euer
heare
that
the
sentence
of
death
or
other
punishment
was
executed
against
those
that
sinned
or
did
transgresse
the
law
,
contrarie
to
the
order
established
,
but
the
Magistrate
,
Guardian
,
or
Priest
thereof
had
first
examined
,
heard
,
or
conuinced
them
,
at
the
least
,
called
,
summoned
,
&
proclaymed
them
to
the
outlawrie
or
otherw●se
,
after
exact
obseruing
of
the
solemnities
of
law
.
Doe
ye
vse
(
my
Maisters
)
to
sende
euen
the
ranckest
thiefe
in
the
worlde
to
the
gallowes
,
without
other
forme
of
lawe
?
Will
ye
then
execute
your
passions
vpon
one
of
the
greatest
Christian
Princes
that
Heauen
hath
permitted
to
bee
borne
,
capable
of
ruling
you
whensoeuer
it
shal
please
God
to
permit
?
or
depriue
him
of
that
right
which
Nature
hath
giuen
him
,
without
hearing
,
or
summons
,
either
understanding
of
his
reazons
?
Is
the
maner
to
proceede
in
such
causes
,
to
come
with
the
sworde
drawne
and
force
men
to
beleue
you
,
at
whatsoeuer
price
?
Wil
you
be
his
Iudges
,
that
be
his
enemies
,
and
are
armed
to
depriue
him
of
his
life
and
goodes
?
Shall
the
Pope
,
whose
reformation
is
chiefly
in
question
,
bee
his
partie
?
No
,
no
,
Warres
and
weapons
were
neuer
meanes
to
atteyne
to
vnion
.
If
one
be
in
the
darke
,
men
vse
to
light
him
and
not
to
cut
his
throte
:
If
he
be
infected
he
must
be
washed
,
not
drowned
:
If
he
bee
sicke
,
tende
him
,
ende
him
not
:
Who
so
will
reunite
the
Church
,
must
seeke
to
bring
backe
those
that
are
out
of
the
way
,
and
to
call
againe
such
as
haue
strayed
:
for
on
the
other
side
,
warre
and
rigour
tendeth
to
stay
and
roote
them
out
,
not
to
bring
them
againe
,
but
to
make
them
to
be
no
more
at
all
,
which
in
deede
is
a
remedie
worse
then
the
disease
.
For
so
men
may
say
we
haue
but
a
bad
cause
in
hand
,
when
in
liew
of
reason
we
haue
recourse
to
force
.
But
Christians
,
what
must
ye
then
do
?
as
men
capable
of
reason
ye
must
conuince
the
King
of
Nauarrre
,
and
all
that
be
of
his
opinion
by
apparant
reasons
.
For
the
vnderstanding
whereof
,
assemble
the
Catholicke
Church
,
&
so
consequently
the
Christian
Princes
of
the
same
:
heare
the
parties
:
cause
the
King
of
Nauarre
to
appeare
:
at
the
least
summon
him
to
come
in
in
al
assurance
:
In
such
an
assembly
denounce
him
an
Hereticke
:
excommunicate
him
:
or
deale
otherwise
with
him
,
according
as
the
holy
Ghost
shall
thincke
meete
.
Vntill
you
so
doe
,
you
are
but
theeues
,
enemies
to
the
Catholicke
Church
:
perturbers
of
Christian
peace
:
and
very
Atheistes
,
in
seeking
to
vse
Catholicke
Religion
,
which
you
doe
least
respect
,
to
estabish
your
prosperitie
withall
.
27
It
is
requisite
,
saye
you
,
to
roote
out
Heretickes
.
That
is
a
good
,
godly
,
and
Catholicke
Counsaile
:
I
am
of
your
opinion
:
But
marke
,
ye
Frenchmen
,
the
meanes
,
effects
and
purpose
which
these
zealous
persons
,
these
firme
pillers
of
the
Church
,
and
these
bucklers
of
the
faith
doe
goe
about
to
take
herein
:
Weapons
,
fellonie
,
and
depriuation
of
our
King
both
of
his
Scepter
&
life
:
for
if
wee
flatter
not
our selues
,
this
is
their
marke
.
We
must
giue
almouse
to
the
poore
:
but
not
by
robbing
the
rich
.
We
must
punish
transgressors
:
but
we
must
not
proceede
therto
by
cutting
the
Magistrates
throate
,
whom
we
thinke
ouerslowe
in
perfecting
the
proceducers
.
We
must
relieue
the
people
:
but
neither
wee
,
nor
you
,
nor
any
other
must
deale
therein
or
enterprize
to
do
it
,
chiefly
by
rebellion
or
warres
against
our
King
.
This
is
not
the
first
tyme
that
the
Commons
haue
complayned
of
the
Kings
exactions
,
and
yet
did
they
not
thereupon
take
occasion
to
oppose
themselues
against
their
Maiesties
good
pleasures
:
neither
was
there
euer
found
Cleargie
man
,
being
the
seruant
of
God
,
who
to
the
mutinous
would
become
a
trompet
of
rebellion
against
their
Prince
vpon
such
consideration
as
these
perturbers
doe
represent
vnto
vs
the
Lord
Cardinall
of
Bourbon
,
the
Popes
Legat
in
France
,
and
which
is
more
,
himselfe
a
Prince
and
of
the
race
of
the
Kinges
.
if
they
vsed
the
seruice
of
those
who
now
set
not
a
strawe
by
them
,
they
would
doe
their
endeuours
to
strip
his
Children
into
their
dublets
,
and
his
people
into
their
sherts
:
and
vnhappely
these
Mastiues
haue
so
well
learned
to
barke
,
that
now
they
seeke
to
byte
their
Lord
.
Call
to
minde
ye
Frenchmen
,
a
true
saying
of
Sainct
Austen
,
importing
,
that
it
is
vnpossible
for
that
Counsaile
to
bee
blamelesse
,
whose
meanes
,
ende
,
and
effects
are
vile
,
vicious
,
and
reprehensible
.
Neither
is
it
Religion
or
pietie
that
stirreth
them
vp
,
but
a
South
winde
and
Spanish
heate
,
wherwith
they
be
driuen
,
that
kindleth
them
.
For
in
troth
,
it
is
of
more
importance
for
the
King
of
Wisigotes
wholy
to
subdue
the
King
of
Nauarre
and
to
destroye
him
,
whatsoeuer
it
cost
,
them
to
lose
all
his
low
Countries
,
which
by
that
onely
meanes
hee
might
perpetually
assure
,
together
with
not
onely
the
rest
of
whatsoeuer
hee
wrongfully
nowe
deteyneth
of
the
Realme
of
Nauarre
,
which
seemeth
to
be
already
prescript
,
but
also
generally
of
the
whole
Spaynes
,
and
most
of
his
other
Lordships
,
whereof
he
might
stand
in
great
feare
,
if
GOD
should
permit
him
to
haue
so
strong
and
mightie
an
enemie
as
the
King
of
France
.
Let
not
therefore
the
most
Christian
Maiestie
,
and
the
King
of
Nauarre
,
flatter
themselues
,
but
bee
assured
that
the
Piedmontain
and
the
Pope
with
their
partakers
,
are
determined
to
doe
that
Spaniard
that
good
turne
,
and
to
employe
whatsoeuer
their
habilities
to
assure
him
on
that
side
.
Considering
that
withall
the
purse
of
the
Romish
Court
,
which
findeth
great
ease
in
the
French
Crownes
,
of
the
summe
which
often
do
passe
the
Mounts
by
reason
of
the
Annates
renewed
in
this
Tridentine
conspiracie
,
&
might
in
tyme
stray
by
the
way
,
as
by
the
auncient
Edictes
of
our
Kinges
,
and
arrestes
of
our
Courtes
of
Parliament
they
haue
hetherto
done
,
haue
interest
therein
.
For
this
cause
none
neede
to
maruaile
that
the
Pope
will
not
willingly
forgoe
so
lickerous
a
morsell
and
the
best
dish
on
his
table
.
Besides
,
it
is
most
certaine
that
the
subiects
of
Fraunce
,
and
others
that
are
bound
to
the
Crowne
,
and
Maiestie
of
our
King
,
who
haue
risen
and
doe
dayly
rise
,
are
but
the
instruments
and
gates
whereby
to
make
way
for
the
loades
of
golde
which
the
Spanyard
sendeth
to
doe
his
businesse
in
this
Realme
,
by
the
same
meanes
giuing
them
occasion
to
take
holde
of
and
vse
the
tyme
to
doe
also
their
owne
,
and
if
they
may
,
to
seaze
vpon
this
Crowne
,
which
they
haue
leueled
at
euer
since
the
decease
of
the
late
Henry
the
second
,
without
employing
themselues
in
any
other
affaires
then
seeking
the
meanes
to
atteyne
thereto
:
yea
euen
partly
they
giue
out
that
it
were
better
to
conquer
the
Realme
of
France
,
then
to
goe
to
Hierusalem
to
seeke
for
the
succession
of
Godfrey
of
Buillon
.
I
doe
therefore
most
humbly
beseech
the
Queene
the
Kings
mother
(
whom
our
Espaniolized
Frenchmen
doe
call
vpon
for
their
succour
)
to
be
ware
of
being
deceiued
in
the
faire
pretences
of
these
conspirators
,
but
to
assure
her selfe
,
that
notwithstanding
whatsoeuer
their
flattering
&
sweete
tongue
,
they
will
neuer
bee
satisfied
but
with
the
life
and
Scepter
of
her
sonne
&
her selfe
.
Moreouer
,
I
beseech
God
to
graunt
the
King
the
wisedome
of
Salomon
when
his
mother
Bethsabe
came
to
desire
him
to
like
of
the
mariage
of
Adonias
with
Abisag
the
Sunamite
,

Know
we
not
the
occasions
of
Dauid
the
Aduocates
(
one
of
the
wickedest
men
that
euer
liued
)
iourney
to
the
Pope
and
Court
of
Rome
,
whose
instructions
these
good
Schollers
doe
from
point
to
point
ensue
?
and
those
men
that
haue
sene
the
same
,
can
tell
whether
their
beginning
and
the
course
that
still
they
take
,
be
not
at
large
therein
conteyned
.
Who
is
he
that
perceiueth
not
the
importance
of
the
disputation
holden
at
Sorbonne
,
about
three
or
foure
yere
since
,
by
a
poore
bachel●r
drawen
in
,
who
had
dedicated
his
Theses
to
the
Abbot
of
Cluny
,
the
late
Card.
of
Lorrains
Bastard
.
Wherein
hee
did
what
in
hym
laye
to
prooue
that
it
was
lawfull
for
the
people
to
depose
,
driue
out
,
kill
and
murder
tyrannous
,
wicked
,
euill
liuing
and
Hereticall
Kinges
?
whereat
the
King
beeing
moued
,
as
at
a
most
daungerous
and
detestable
proposition
,
this
poore
instrument
of
Satan
was
at
the
barre
of
the
sayde
Colledge
of
Sorbonne
,
slaine
by
one
who
of
late
dayes
haue
withdrawen
hym selfe
loaden
with
Spanish
Pistolets
and
Iewels
,
and
then
cloked
this
goodly
deede
,
least
the
author
of
this
so
vnchristian
learning
and
knowledge
should
by
his
mouth
haue
bene
disclosed
.
Might
not
we
haue
noted
what
seruants
were
procured
to
be
placed
abont
Monsier
the
Kings
brother
,
and
to
what
end
,
among
whom
the
forwardest
had
bene
trayned
vp
in
the
Schole
of
these
perturbers
of
our
peace
,
as
being
their
creature
,
witnesse
that
nowe
he
is
with
them
,
and
then
vsed
all
his
endeuour
to
plonge
that
yong
Prince
in
all
voluptuousnesse
,
lechery
and
heate
of
youth
:
yea
hee
did
better
his
businesse
:
for
hee
betrayed
him
to
the
King
of
Spaine
,
&
sould
the
Spaniard
to
the
States
,
and
the
Huguenotes
to
all
others
.
Whereby
hee
made
money
of
all
with
the
price
of
the
honor
,
reputation
and
life
of
his
Maiestie
,
or
rather
of
all
France
.
The
like
did
also
three
or
foure
other
bad
parsons
,
who
all
had
bene
brought
vp
,
and
were
giuen
to
his
highnesse
by
one selfe
hand
,
to
the
ende
to
habandon
hym
for
a
praye
,
to
the
first
mischaunce
that
might
happen
,
among
a
greate
number
that
night
and
day
they
deuised
for
the
atteining
to
their
entents
:
yea
they
went
so
farre
as
to
set
him
at
debate
with
the
King
his
brother
,
and
by
meanes
of
some
of
theirs
that
were
neere
to
either
of
them
,
to
cause
nature
and
bloud
to
liue
in
mistrust
of
it selfe
,
so
to
procure
the
ruine
and
losse
of
one
or
the
other
,
or
of
both
togither
,
and
with
them
of
this
miserable
Realme
.
During
which
their
sleightes
,
they
did
neuerthelesse
perticulerly
thinck
vpon
the
king
,
whom
when
they
found
to
be
merueylous
zealous
in
Catholike
religion
,
they
began
to
practise
some
Spanish
workemen
to
drawe
vnto
him
,
and
vnder
the
vaile
of
Religion
to
bewitch
him
,
and
so
wholy
endeuoured
themselues
,
if
they
could
,
to
haue
cast
him
headlong
into
some
mishap
,
as
great
as
the
same
wherein
they
prolonged
poore
King
Sebastian
of
Portugall
,
who
by
such
meanes
serued
for
a
warme
breakefast
to
the
Spanish
King
,
and
got
hym
a
faire
corner
of
lande
through
the
subtelties
of
the
Spanish
Iesuites
,
concurring
with
the
Portingal
Iesuites
,
or
peraduenture
both
conspired
against
the
estate
of
that
poore
yong
King
,
so
to
cause
hym
desperatly
to
venture
hym selfe
,
whether
he
dyed
,
&
with
him
the
Scepter
of
Portugall
,
which
vndoubtedly
God
had
long
vsed
to
the
great
benefite
&
blesse
of
all
Christiandome
.
These
were
the
driftes
of
the
good
seruants
of
our
Kings
,
who
(
thanked
bee
God
)
was
more
circumspect
and
wary
to
put
from
about
him
such
wicked
spirites
.
Certainly
it
is
most
necessary
and
expedient
for
a
King
to
be
Christian
,
deuout
,
zealous
of
Catholicke
faith
,
and
to
feare
God
:
but
withall
it
is
most
daungerous
for
his
person
and
Estate
,
if
hee
become
supersticious
and
an
hypocrite
.
First
he
thereby
loseth
all
iudgement
to
discerne
the
enuious
friends
or
enemies
to
his
Scepter
:
then
he
forgetteth
the
principall
cause
for
the
which
he
is
a
King
:
which
is
the
care
and
gouernement
of
his
people
,
for
the
exercize
whereof
onely
he
is
bound
,
chosen
and
bound
to
serue
God
in
that
ministerie
:
lastly
,
in
the
world
that
we
liue
in
,
among
the
most
corrupt
soules
that
euer
were
,
the
whole
worlde
doth
mistrust
and
wonderfully
suspect
him
whom
they
see
make
so
great
a
shewe
,
whether
for
enuy
that
euery
one
beareth
to
his
more
then
common
zeale
,
either
els
for
that
in
trueth
it
often
falleth
out
,
that
things
of
greatest
apparance
conteyne
least
trueth
.
Now
then
,
these
malicious
persons
haue
but
one
onely
subtile
entent
left
,
which
also
it
is
meete
for
the
people
to
knowe
.
For
yet
they
goe
reasonably
gently
about
their
matters
,
and
doe
giue
out
that
they
require
onely
abolition
of
the
Edicts
of
pacification
,
and
to
procure
the
exercize
of
one
onely
Religion
in
France
,
to
the
ende
vnder
that
pretence
to
embarke
the
King
,
and
almost
to
force
him
(
as
aforetyme
,
fearing
least
the
ouer
long
peace
of
this
Realme
should
close
vp
the
passed
vlcers
,
they
had
done
)
to
breake
off
that
amitie
and
good
wil
which
it
pleased
him
to
shewe
to
the
King
of
Nauarre
,
and
those
of
the
pretended
reformed
Religion
,
so
that
by
such
meanes
they
will
cause
him
with
the
sworde
that
he
should
holde
in
one
of
his
hands
to
cut
off
the
other
:
wherof
must
ensue
the
losse
and
sworne
death
of
the
sayde
Lorde
King
of
Nauarre
,
against
whose
person
perticulerly
,
as
beeing
their
principall
mark
,
they
are
determined
to
arme
themselues
.
After
whose
end
also
,
if
the
King
(
of
whom
they
shall
then
stand
no
longer
in
neede
)
will
not
in
the
meane
tyme
dye
,
either
through
melancholy
,
or
choller
,
&
so
speedely
quit
them
his
roume
,
they
knowe
in
their
Italian
League
Articifers
enough
to
sende
him
into
Abrahams
bosome
:
whereby
they
shall
for
so
many
good
and
commendable
seruices
done
to
our
France
,
bee
thought
more
worthy
to
be
crowned
then
now
,
notwithstanding
at
this
present
they
cause
ouer
loude
to
bee
song
their
pretended
merites
by
all
the
Spanish
pentioners
,
and
feede
Spyes
in
the
Court
,
at
whose
mouthes
they
set
out
their
woundes
receiued
in
the
wasting
of
this
Crowne
,
after
the
maner
of
the
auncient
Romaines
,
who
exhibited
themselues
naked
to
the
people
in
beggiug
the
Suffrages
of
dignities
and
offices
.
Thus
when
through
their
wisedome
they
shal
haue
killed
the
King
and
the
King
of
Nauarre
,
who
are
the
two
thornes
that
trouble
their
feete
,
for
the
one
they
will
procure
the
singing
of
a
Deprofundis
,
and
for
the
other
Te
Deum
laudamus
,
whereby
,
together
with
an
absolution
sealed
in
leade
in
the
Cource
of
Roome
,
they
shall
bee
whiter
then
Swannes
.
For
of
the
rest
of
the
Princes
of
the
bloud
they
make
no
accoumpt
,
neither
doe
thincke
them
subiect
sufficient
to
put
them
in
any
chafe
about
the
rooting
of
them
out
:
so
greate
is
the
furie
of
Sathan
in
these
daies
.
This
is
the
whole
story
which
those
that
loue
them
are
forced
to
confesse
.
Neuerthelesse
,
it
seemeth
that
we
sleepe
our
our
mishap
,
or
ratherthat
we
make
hast
to
this
fire
,
euen
with
our
backe
burdens
of
woode
to
kindle
it
,
in
stead
of
water
to
quench
it
withall
.

Hereafter
I
pray
you
what
dignitie
or
Maiestie
may
restraine
from
vice
,
those
that
are
so
cruell
to
their
King
,
as
to
take
armes
against
his
person
,
against
the
peace
of
his
estate
whose
subiects
they
are
,
and
against
the
establishment
of
his
Realme
?
Neither
Equitie
,
Iustice
,
Custome
,
Lawes
,
respect
of
land
,
loue
of
their
fellowe
Citizens
,
or
reuerence
to
the
Magistrate
,
can
permit
those
men
that
contemne
the
soueraign
authoritie
of
the
Maiestie
royall
:
and
such
as
without
respect
to
Iustice
or
publick
honestie
,
doe
shew
them selues
more
cruell
and
barbarous
in
procuring
,
vnder
pretence
of
reformation
and
zeale
to
Catholicke
Religion
,
the
engendring
in
France
of
an
immortall
warre
,
the
mother
of
all
impietie
,
wrong
,
reuenge
,
ruine
,
deformation
and
vtter
subuertion
of
most
mightie
Kingdomes
and
florishing
Empires
,
to
blush
for
shame
.
What
eminencie
is
the
Church
to
looke
for
among
the
execrable
blasphemies
and
infinite
sacriledges
that
will
be
committed
in
the
warres
?
What
power
?
what
authoritie
?
what
light
may
wee
attend
of
Iustice
when
she
is
snared
,
mastered
,
become
prisoner
,
and
ouerruled
by
the
weapons
of
the
most
vicious
and
corrupt
persons
of
this
Realme
?
What
honour
?
what
degree
?
what
respect
may
the
Nobilitie
hope
for
,
beeing
in
perpetuall
hazarde
to
loose
life
,
children
,
wealth
,
peace
,
and
free
commandement
ouer
their
vassals
and
subiects
?
What
ease
,
what
profite
,
or
what
encrease
may
the
ouertoyled
laborer
,
the
venterous
Marchant
,
the
quiet
Burgesse
,
or
any
other
whosoeuer
in
this
poore
Realm
,
buyld
vpon
?
Euery
one
must
prouide
for
famine
,
pestilence
,
fire
,
bloud
,
and
spoyle
:
to
be
briefe
,
for
all
the
scourges
that
spring
of
the
disorder
,
barbarousnesse
,
ambition
,
and
insatiable
desire
of
those
,
who
,
if
they
maye
finde
assistance
among
the
French
,
will
neuer
lay
downe
weapons
,
but
either
by
an
establishment
of
a
perfect
tyrannie
proceeding
out
of
their
affections
,
more
grieuous
and
inspportable
to
those
that
shall
remaine
then
warre
it selfe
,
or
els
by
the
selfe
ruine
and
vtter
extirpation
of
their
wretched
followers
,
together
with
most
of
the
good
men
that
shal
haue
withstoode
them
.
Let
vs
not
,
O
Frenchmen
,
perswade
our selues
that
this
mischiefe
will
be
a
matter
of
three
or
fower
moneths
onely
.
For
if
it
be
Religion
,
for
the
which
they
seme
to
bring
you
into
the
fielde
,
your selues
doe
knowe
that
our
Kinges
haue
not
spared
life
,
state
,
meanes
,
or
friendes
for
the
remedying
thereof
within
these
fiue
and
twentie
yeeres
:
which
notwithstanding
,
what
effect
haue
so
many
murders
,
such
plentie
of
battailes
,
and
such
store
of
bloud
spilt
,
wrought
?
Weene
you
that
these
who
so
long
haue
found
meanes
to
defend
themselues
cannot
withstand
you
,
but
must
so
easely
yeeld
vnto
you
?
See
you
not
the
straunger
that
looke
vppon
you
,
and
doe
prepare
to
hasten
our
destruction
,
if
we
bee
so
foolish
as
to
beate
our selues
?
The
authors
of
this
conspiracie
,
being
now
alone
,
are
no
stronger
then
when
they
fought
so
sharply
vnder
the
authoritie
of
King
Charles
the
9.
and
the
King
now
raigning
,
and
were
vpholden
by
the
same
meanes
that
now
they
assure
them selues
of
out
of
Spayne
,
Italy
,
and
other
places
.
You
know
they
were
chiefe
of
their
Maiesties
Counsaile
,
Leaders
of
their
Armyes
,
or
rather
,
authors
of
all
passed
mischiefes
:
enterteyning
the
King
in
that
will
and
opinion
wherein
he
then
was
,
namely
,
that
weapons
were
the
instruments
to
appease
Gods
wrath
,
and
to
reunite
vs
in
one
onely
Religion
,
vntill
his
Maiestie
vpon
better
aduice
confessed
the
fruites
and
effects
of
the
contrary
,
and
by
the
examples
of
his
neighbours
did
very
wisely
consider
,
that
the
disease
of
Religion
is
so
rooted
in
mans
mynd
,
that
he
were
farre
better
to
tollerate
it
,
(
sith
we
all
agree
in
one
belief
and
Creede
of
the
Apostles
,
)
then
to
hazarde
his
whole
Estate
,
by
weening
to
heale
vp
a
wounde
,
which
God
willing
,
maye
by
daylie
conuersation
bee
suppled
:
for
vndoubtedly
some
diseases
are
of
such
a
nature
,
that
it
is
more
expedient
for
the
Patient
to
beare
the
griefe
thereof
,
then
for
his
cure
to
vse
ouer
daungerous
and
doubtfull
remedies
,
whose
tryall
is
more
sharpe
and
intollerable
than
the
disease
it selfe
.
With
which
counsaile
,
truely
royall
,
fatherly
,
and
worthy
a
Christian
and
peaceable
Prince
,
these
zelators
of
their
own
wealth
,
rather
then
of
Christianitie
being
offended
,
doe
now
euidently
shewe
their
bad
mindes
,
and
do
buyld
their
pretences
vpon
the
diuersitie
of
Religions
,
vpon
the
oppressions
of
the
people
,
vpon
the
deformations
of
Iustice
,
and
vpon
the
distribution
of
Dignities
,
notwithstanding
all
men
knowe
,
that
in
respect
of
the
last
they
are
better
prouided
,
and
haue
greater
cause
to
praise
the
parting
,
then
to
complaine
of
that
honor
that
the
King
hath
done
them
.
As
for
the
rest
,
themselues
are
the
onely
cause
of
all
mischiefe
,
engendred
by
ciuill
warres
,
which
euer
since
the
resolution
vpon
their
forecast
thei
haue
nourished
in
this
Estate
:
because
it
is
certaine
that
peace
is
the
mother
of
pietie
,
establishment
of
Iustice
,
and
the
true
spring
of
mans
ease
.
Neither
can
we
denie
the
good
,
holy
,
and
commendable
affection
wherwith
our
most
Christian
and
peaceable
Prince
set
hand
to
the
worke
,
so
long
as
it
pleased
God
to
let
vs
enioy
peace
:
whether
in
the
example
that
he
set
vs
in
his
Religion
,
desire
that
hee
shewed
in
reformation
of
Iustice
,
or
in
the
ease
that
,
so
much
as
he
might
,
he
procured
to
his
good
subiects
.
What
is
there
more
to
doe
then
,
fellowe
countrymen
,
but
againe
to
sheath
vp
our
weapons
,
and
deuoutly
to
pray
to
God
to
graunt
vs
peace
,
and
by
meanes
thereof
to
reunite
vs
in
the
Faith
and
Religion
of
the
Catholicke
Church
?
so
to
serue
him
faithfully
,
&
with
our
good
King
to
set
to
our
shoulders
to
helpe
to
support
the
burthen
of
commaunding
in
this
Realme
,
layd
vpon
him
in
heauen
,
yeelding
our selues
pliant
,
simple
,
and
obedient
to
his
commaundements
,
to
the
end
altogether
we
may
serue
and
praise
the
deuine
Maiestie
holily
,
and
peaceably
,
euery
one
according
to
his
duetie
:
the
Prince
in
peaceable
and
wise
gouernment
of
vs
,
as
hetherto
through
the
grace
of
che
holy
Ghost
,
he
hath
done
:
our selues
in
louing
,
reuerencing
,
obeying
,
and
faithfully
seruing
his
Maiestie
,
as
wee
are
bound
vnder
payne
of
eternall
damnation
.
For
,
so
long
as
we
are
in
this
world
,
if
we
doe
otherwise
,
we
shall
resemble
the
Marriners
that
in
the
Ship
quarrelling
with
their
Pilot
,
oppressed
with
the
tempest
,
and
enuironed
with
the
enemie
,
doe
in
the
ende
finde
themselues
forced
to
saile
away
with
some
mercenary
straungers
,
who
will
no
longer
haue
any
care
of
their
safetie
then
the
commoditie
and
sweetnesse
of
their
wages
shall
continue
.
Surch
surely
will
bee
the
life
that
we
shal
leade
,
in
case
we
become
so
detestable
as
to
disunite
our selues
from
our
King
,
and
the
sacred
bloud
of
his
Crowne
:
abroade
standing
in
feare
of
the
enemie
,
at
home
,
not
onely
of
our
fellowe
Citizens
,
but
also
of
our
domesticall
seruaunts
,
our
allies
,
our
cossens
,
our
brethren
,
our
parents
,
our
wiues
,
and
our
children
,
wherby
we
shal
haue
warre
with
the
straunger
,
sedition
in
the
Citie
,
and
mistrust
in
the
householde
,
alwaies
in
in
feare
,
miserable
,
needy
,
and
stil
past
hope
of
better
:
for
the
good
will
habandon
vs
as
vnworthy
their
succour
,
and
the
bad
will
deuour
vs
.
What
blesse
then
,
what
pleasure
,
what
contentation
may
we
hope
for
so
long
as
vppon
earth
wee
leade
this
life
?
and
bee
led
by
those
that
bely
the
forme
,
countenance
,
gesture
,
speech
,
and
behauiour
of
the
man
that
they
beare
,
no
lesse
than
Satires
,
Apes
,
or
Beares
?
as
also
we
may
rightly
terme
them
Wolues
and
monsters
borne
in
this
Commonwealth
,
for
the
nourishing
and
bringing
vp
of
whom
I
feare
wee
may
bee
called
enemies
to
God
and
our
owne
nature
,
which
by
companying
with
these
wilde
beastes
we
doe
corrupt
.
But
to
returne
to
our
purpose
.
Concerning
the
heresie
falsly
pretended
against
the
King
of
Nauarre
,
although
the
reasons
aforesayd
bee
most
true
,
waightie
,
and
such
as
can
haue
no
contrary
aunswere
vailable
,
yet
as
a
Catholicke
,
I
do
most
humbly
beseech
the
said
King
of
Nauarre
,
diligently
to
thinck
vpon
his
affayres
,
yea
,
although
in
his
minde
hee
could
conceiue
no
other
consideration
then
the
preseruation
and
peace
of
so
much
people
(
in
that
he
by
whom
the
offence
commeth
is
accursed
of
God
)
whether
he
shal
not
more
grieuously
offende
God
and
his
owne
conscience
,
in
being
a
cloake
and
pretence
of
so
many
miseries
to
his
Countrey
and
the
French
nation
,
for
whose
defence
he
is
borne
,
then
with
his
fathers
and
common
custome
of
old
receiued
,
in
erring
,
if
there
be
any
error
therein
.
Let
him
also
iudge
whether
he
bee
not
bound
to
aunswer
before
God
,
for
the
liues
of
so
many
persons
,
who
through
his
occasion
shal
perish
,
also
for
the
blasphemies
that
consequently
will
be
committed
.
Let
him
aduise
himselfe
whether
hee
were
not
better
to
doe
as
the
good
and
gentle
Householder
,
who
sometimes
omitteth
the
seueritie
of
his
age
to
play
with
his
children
,
and
with
clemencie
giueth
them
space
to
measure
the
force
of
his
amitie
excusing
their
insolent
youth
and
bolde
rashnesse
,
ioyning
and
going
close
with
them
:
after
the
example
of
the
wise
and
well
aduised
Athenian
,
when
his
people
were
most
obstinatly
resolued
to
oppose
them selues
directly
against
his
meaning
.
For
my
parte
(
Sir
)
I
beseech
your
Maiestie
to
giue
mee
leaue
to
tell
you
that
all
good
Frenchmen
,
true
Catholickes
,
and
faithfull
subiects
to
you
&
this
Crowne
,
doe
euen
in
humaine
reason
greatly
bewayle
the
state
of
our
poore
Fraunce
,
in
seeing
that
your
enemies
are
so
well
at
ease
,
or
doe
(
peraduenture
)
nourish
about
your
Maiestie
some
such
persons
as
keepe
their
vizarde
from
bee
plucked
off
.
For
in
truth
(
Sir
)
it
lyeth
in
you
through
the
grace
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
to
yeeld
more
fruite
to
the
Church
of
GOD
,
(
for
the
aduauncement
whereof
you
haue
hetherto
thought
to
fight
,
)
and
more
ouer
to
procure
your selfe
to
bee
esteemed
more
profitable
,
commodious
,
and
honorable
to
all
,
by
planting
peace
in
time
in
this
Realm
,
and
giuing
an
example
to
the
rest
of
Christiandom
,
with
assurance
to
the
King
that
raigneth
ouer
you
and
his
subiects
who
looke
vpon
you
by
your
good
life
,
and
gentle
common
conuersation
,
which
in
all
other
actions
your
aduersaries
them selues
doe
seeme
to
confesse
,
then
by
any
other
worldly
meanes
that
you
can
choose
.
Besides
,
that
it
is
an
vndoubted
and
political
maxime
,
mislike
it
who
will
,
that
it
is
not
for
Kings
,
who
haue
authoritie
and
gouernment
ouer
so
many
seuerall
braynes
,
which
GOD
may
reserue
vnto
you
,
if
it
so
please
him
,
or
he
be
so
determined
in
his
priuate
counsaile
,
notwithstanding
all
the
Deuilles
do
rage
,
to
set
other
where
then
in
their
Closets
,
vpon
any
of
these
extremities
:
because
it
would
bee
vnpossible
to
toyne
and
compose
these
together
,
especially
in
the
world
wherin
you
are
borne
,
wherein
also
your selfe
doe
well
knowe
,
and
haue
by
domesticall
examples
learned
,
that
it
behoueth
you
and
all
other
the
Princes
in
this
world
,
to
bow
to
make
your selues
to
be
obeyed
,
&
to
preserue
your
estates
by
meanes
more
then
artificial
,
and
ful
of
humaine
wisedome
,
in
respect
of
the
frowarnesse
,
peeuishnesse
,
and
bad
nature
of
subiects
.
But
more
perticulerly
in
this
case
,
wherein
our
common
enemies
haue
for
these
25.
yeeres
accustomed
the
French
nation
to
the
vse
of
weapons
,
and
the
veryest
fooles
,
(
of
whom
there
are
ouer
many
,
)
to
contemne
the
Maiestie
of
their
King
,
lawe
,
and
Iustice
,
and
to
the
contrary
haue
suborned
,
flattered
,
and
stolne
away
the
most
of
their
hearts
,
vnder
a
false
pretence
and
zeale
of
Religion
,
which
your
seruants
do
wish
you
to
winne
again
,
as
it
were
an
easie
matter
to
doe
,
being
desirous
of
your
quiet
,
honor
,
and
to
the
aduancement
of
Gods
glorie
,
the
peace
of
this
Realme
,
and
the
encrease
of
the
Crowne
of
France
,
fearing
least
all
Christiandome
should
swarme
to
the
tearing
of
it
in
an
hundred
peeces
,
or
the
mutinous
Rebelles
that
are
within
the
Realme
should
rent
and
dismember
this
goodly
Kidney
of
Europe
,
which
without
doubt
is
the
goodliest
and
most
perfect
Kingdome
vpon
earth
.
At
the
least
,
sir
,
sith
these
great
Dukes
of
fained
Catholichisine
,
who
in
a
iolitie
haue
declared
themselues
your
aduersaries
,
doe
beare
for
their
deuise
the
destruction
&
bloud
of
the
innocent
Frenchmen
,
which
by
their
often
murders
they
haue
shed
,
and
are
not
yet
satisfied
,
as
their
Bugbearlike
terrors
that
they
propound
vnto
vs
,
doe
shew
,
I
doe
most
humbly
desire
you
to
the
contrary
to
bee
the
Pelican
,
and
to
beare
the
same
deuise
that
the
Great
Alphonsus
the
10.
of
that
name
King
of
Spayne
,
from
whom
your
predecessors
the
Kings
of
Nauarre
are
discended
,
was
wont
,
viz.
Pro
lege
,
&
grege
,
setting
forth
in
your
actions
,
as
many
desires
of
peace
,
clemencie
,
fatth
,
honestie
,
and
Christian
piette
,
as
they
doe
of
violence
,
bitternesse

and
perfidie
,

against
the
Iustice
of
God
