THE
METHOD
OF
the
insuing
Discourse
.
THE
method
and
manner
that
I
intend
to
vse
in
this
Discourse
,
shall
bee
after
this
sort
,
First
,
I
will
directe
my
speeches
to
the
vnexperienced
Gentlemen
,
desirous
to
serue
here
in
Spaine
,
shewing
them
in
what
point
of
their
hope
and
expectations
they
doo
faile
,
and
are
deceiued
.
Secondly
,
to
our
credulous
Papistes
at
home
,
vpon
whose
grosenes
and
simplicitie
,
our
rebellyous
traitors
heere
abroade
doo
build
their
chiefest
foundations
of
all
their
villanies
,
whom
while
they
entertaine
with
vaine
expectations
,
in
the
meane
time
with
spies
,
Priests
,
and
traitours
,
which
they
daily
send
ouer
,
they
abuse
with
trecherous
practises
,
to
the
irrepiable
ruine
and
ouerthrow
of
them
and
theirs
.
Thirdly
,
because
many
of
our
countrie
men
liuing
in
great
happinesse
at
home
,
doo
yet
in
their
conceits
mislike
,
surfetting
with
ease
,
the
blessed
estate
they
liue
in
,
and
what
withall
,
the
maner
of
her
Maiesties
most
gracious
and
mercifull
gouernment
,
I
haue
thought
it
my
dutie
somewhat
to
expresse
these
few
things
which
haue
come
to
my
knowledge
,
touching
the
innumerable
benefits
&
blessings
with
which
it
hath
pleased
God
to
adorn
her
royall
Maiestie
,
together
with
the
flourishing
estate
of
that
noble
soile
since
the
time
of
her
Maiesties
raigne
,
so
flourishing
with
peace
,
prosperity
,
and
abundance
,
in
glorie
of
warres
,
so
renowmed
and
victorious
in
arts
,
so
curious
and
excellent
in
iustice
,
euen
to
the
verie
enemie
,
so
admirable
,
and
(
which
surpasseth
all
the
rest
)
in
the
free
,
sweet
,
and
comfortable
vse
of
the
true
religion
,
so
aboue
all
others
blessed
and
fortunate
,
that
I
haue
hearde
the
verie
Spaniardes
themselues
saie
,
they
feare
Iesus
Christ
is
become
a
protestant
.
Withal
,
I
make
some
comparison
betweene
this
and
the
tyrannicall
gouernment
of
the
Spanish
tyrant
,
his
cruell
and
inhumane
vsage
of
his
miserable
subiects
,
their
abolition
of
their
priuiledges
,
and
in
fine
,
the
vnspeakable
bondage
,
slauerie
,
and
desolate
despaire
in
which
they
liue
languishing
.
A
matter
though
farre
vnfit
for
me
to
handle
or
treate
,
but
worthie
of
the
most
graue
and
experienced
men
of
qualitie
and
highest
degree
,
yet
considering
I
shall
not
presume
to
treate
of
matters
of
high
state
or
secrets
,
but
such
as
euerie
good
subiect
may
find
and
pick
out
of
the
heroicall
actions
of
the
one
,
and
the
tyrannicall
insolence
of
the
other
,
both
don
in
the
appearance
of
the
world
,
I
hope
and
so
with
all
lowlynesse
most
humbly
desire
her
most
gracious
and
benigne
Maiestie
to
pardon
me
,
if
I
come
farre
short
of
that
which
men
fitter
for
the
handling
therof
could
say
or
intreat
.
And
so
most
humbly
also
make
petition
,
that
I
may
therein
bee
censured
according
to
the
loyall
zeale
I
beare
to
her
most
princely
Maiestie
,
and
not
to
the
basenes
and
simplicitie
of
my
stile
or
the
handling
thereof
.
But
to
come
to
my
Discourse
,
to
the
end
that
you
and
the
rest
of
your
opinion
,
may
cleerly
and
plainly
discerne
those
things
which
hetherto
your
eies
blinded
with
the
vaile
of
partialitie
,
haue
not
bin
able
to
view
.
I
will
begin
with
the
good
vsage
,
honor
&
aduancement
that
you
and
other
Gentlemen
addicted
to
this
seruice
are
heere
to
expect
,
bringing
vnto
you
for
example
sundrie
braue
and
worthie
Gentlemen
,
Captaines
and
souldiers
,
that
haue
taken
the
like
course
before
you
,
wherby
you
shal
perceiue
it
is
not
all
gold
that
glistreth
,
but
that
whatsoeuer
shew
the
Spaniarde
make
vnto
vs
,
yet
in
his
hart
he
mortally
abhorreth
vs
,
&
by
al
means
possible
seeketh
our
destruction
,
ruine
&
subuertion
,
as
it
euidently
appeareth
by
his
vsage
of
troups
&
companies
of
our
nations
that
haue
serued
him
.
For
example
:
at
the
siege
of
Antwarpe
there
came
vnto
him
vnder
the
conduct
of
Norris
and
Cornish
,
a
troup
of
six
thousand
,
the
tallest
and
best
appointed
souldiers
,
that
euer
I
remember
to
haue
seene
in
all
my
life
,
their
comming
beeing
the
onelie
cause
that
the
towne
was
so
soone
deliuered
vnto
him
as
it
was
.
For
whereas
the
Duke
of
Aniou
laie
vnder
the
wals
of
Gaunt
,
with
sufficient
force
and
most
deliberate
resolution
to
succour
the
sayd
towne
of
Antwarp
vpon
his
mutinie
,
fearing
further
inconuenience
,
he
marched
away
with
his
whole
camp
,
leauing
the
enemie
now
battering
the
towne
,
who
seeing
themselues
frustrate
of
their
expected
hope
,
presently
rendered
the
same
to
the
duke
of
Parma
.
But
how
were
they
recompenced
?
Within
one
yeere
they
were
let
all
to
famish
for
hunger
,
which
some
of
them
seeking
to
releeue
,
by
foreranging
out
vpon
the
Countrie
,
foure
and
twentie
of
them
were
taken
and
carried
to
Antwarp
,
of
whose
beginning
they
were
the
chiefest
,
and
there
openlye
hanged
in
the
market
place
.
Whereas
all
other
nations
had
libertie
to
rob
and
steale
,
and
doo
what
they
list
.
Another
troupe
of
them
of
thirtye
,
beeing
foorth
,
and
lying
in
a
village
neere
Poppering
in
Flanders
,
a
companie
of
Spaniardes
hearing
of
them
,
came
into
the
village
where
they
were
,
&
after
friendly
and
soldierly
salutation
of
each
side
,
as
they
were
all
making
merrie
together
,
on
a
sodaine
the
Spaniards
tooke
them
at
aduauntage
vnarmed
,
and
most
trecherously
and
inhumanelye
murthered
them
euerie
one
.
Sundrie
complaint●s
were
made
to
the
Duke
,
by
the
friends
of
those
that
were
thus
murthered
,
and
by
the
Captaines
of
the
Regiment
,
but
there
could
bee
no
remedie
nor
iustice
obtained
.
But
to
make
amendes
,
because
they
would
bee
the
cleanlier
ridde
of
the
residue
of
this
poore
miserable
troupe
,
the
campe
being
then
before
Winockberghen
,
they
made
them
two
litle
forts
of
purpose
,
in
which
they
willingly
placed
them
in
the
vtmost
quarter
of
the
whole
camp
,
and
neerest
confining
to
the
town
,
to
the
end
they
might
haue
all
their
throates
cut
,
as
in
deede
they
had
verie
few
nights
after
.
At
which
time
the
enemie
assaulting
them
with
great
furie
,
and
they
defending
themselues
most
manfully
aboue
the
space
of
an
houre
,
in
such
sort
,
as
the
alarum
passed
through
the
whol
campe
,
yet
they
were
neuer
releeued
with
any
succour
at
all
,
insomuch
that
the
greatest
part
of
them
being
slaine
in
defence
,
the
enemie
at
last
entered
and
put
the
residue
to
the
swoord
.
To
rehearse
vnto
you
the
sundrie
and
seuerall
calamities
that
these
poore
men
,
as
well
Captaines
as
souldiers
endured
,
during
the
small
time
of
that
their
vnfortunate
seruice
,
especiallye
at
Ganskecke
,
Aske
.
and
Grauer
,
would
seeme
(
I
am
sure
)
vnto
you
for
the
vnspeakable
strangenesse
thereof
,
scarcelye
credible
,
for
they
neuer
receiued
all
the
time
of
their
seruice
anie
one
moneths
paie
.
I
haue
seene
Lieutenants
and
Ensignes
of
them
go
vp
&
downe
the
campe
begging
their
bread
,
couered
only
with
olde
mantles
about
their
shoulders
,
and
haue
my selfe
releeued
some
of
them
.
Shortly
after
came
Pigot
,
who
brought
with
him
Sir
Iohn
Norris
his
regiment
,
being
well
neere
a
thousand
,
as
tall
and
well
appointed
men
as
were
in
Europe
,
whose
seruice
,
how
meritorious
and
beneficiall
it
was
vnto
the
Spaniards
,
I
leaue
to
their
iudgements
that
knowe
the
Countrie
.
For
by
rendering
of
Alost
vnto
him
,
they
were
the
occasion
that
hee
got
Darmounde
the
Sasse
,
the
fortes
of
Leiskins
hooke
,
Saint
Anthonies
,
&
Saint
Margarets
,
the
best
part
of
the
land
of
Wast
,
&
in
manner
Gaunt
it selfe
,
as
the
sequel
shewed
.
Notwithstanding
all
which
seruice
,
they
were
within
two
yeeres
space
,
what
with
hunger
,
the
gallowes
,
&
rigorous
dealing
,
consumed
and
brought
to
nothing
.
And
last
at
Stalbrooke
,
even
against
the
yeelding
vp
of
Antwarp
,
when
all
other
Nations
were
to
receiue
their
count
and
reckoning
,
they
only
were
infamously
cashierd
without
anie
one
moneths
paie
.
And
which
of
all
others
is
most
monstrous
&
scarce
credible
,
whereas
some
of
the
Captains
,
not
long
before
had
made
them
of
their
owne
purses
new
and
faire
Ensignes
,
those
Ensignes
were
violently
taken
awaie
from
those
that
bare
them
and
deteined
.
Which
abuse
and
wrong
though
captain
Tresham
and
the
other
Captaines
complained
off
to
the
duke
with
great
protestations
,
yet
they
could
neuer
obtaine
anie
restitution
.
Somewhat
before
this
time
,
when
the
whole
campe
was
at
the
siege
of
Dermound
paide
two
moneths
,
they
onely
though
of
all
others
most
trauelled
in
the
trenches
,
wading
euerie
night
bosome
high
to
their
wast
,
and
hauing
had
more
men
slain
in
that
siege
than
anie
other
regiment
in
the
whole
campe
,
could
not
receiue
one
pennie
,
notwithstanding
they
had
passed
in
muster
with
he
rest
,
and
some
of
the
Captaines
bribed
the
C●ommissarie
,
thinking
thereby
to
make
a
great
hand
.
But
in
sted
of
mony
,
when
they
shewed
the
Duke
,
they
were
scornfully
by
him
turned
of
,
to
the
Contadores
,
of
whom
they
receiued
the
most
base
&
opprobrious
speeches
that
euer
were
giuen
soldiers
,
&
were
in
fine
reiected
without
euer
receiuing
one
halfpeny
.
And
lastly
,
when
the
Regiment
was
cast
,
whereas
the
paie
of
a
reformed
Captaine
amongst
them
,
of
what
Nation
so
euer
he
be
,
is
fortie
crownes
,
they
giue
onely
to
our
English
captaines
fiue
and
twentie
a
moneth
.
Not
long
before
it
chanced
that
one
of
the
Captains
,
whose
name
was
Edward
Vincent
,
was
taken
in
a
skirmish
by
the
enemie
at
Pernence
,
and
set
at
ransome
at
a
hundred
and
fifty
poundes
,
to
make
which
raunsome
,
his
father
beeing
then
in
Flanders
,
a
poore
olde
man
of
seuenty
yeres
of
age
,
fell
vpon
his
knees
before
the
Duke
,
weeping
and
imploring
his
helpe
.
But
in
sted
of
yelding
him
releefe
,
the
Duke
badde
take
awaie
the
olde
dronken
foole
:
the
griefe
whereof
strake
the
old
man
so
to
the
heart
,
that
he
went
home
and
dyed
within
sixe
dayes
,
and
his
sonne
for
lacke
of
his
raunsome
was
shortly
after
hanged
at
Perges
.
Pigot
himselfe
being
some
three
yeeres
since
taken
,
and
Barne
,
betweene
Gaunt
and
Bruges
,
were
neuer
releeued
with
anie
one
pennie
towardes
theyr
charges
or
raunsomes
,
Pigot
was
suffered
miserably
to
end
his
daies
in
prison
,
and
so
had
Barne
also
,
but
that
his
wife
,
by
her
solicitation
,
found
such
fauour
among
his
priuate
friends
,
that
he
got
as
much
as
paide
his
raunsome
,
but
neuer
could
obtaine
one
pennie
of
the
Duke
,
though
shee
were
an
importunate
sutor
vnto
him
.
Lastly
,
came
sir
W.
Standley
and
R.
Yorke
rendering
vnto
the
King
the
Towne
of
Deuenter
,
&
fort
of
Sutphen
,
the
one
with
a
Regiment
of
foote
,
the
other
with
a
companie
of
Lances
.
Let
vs
see
howe
the
one
and
the
other
was
vsed
.
First
,
sir
William
Standley
was
confirmed
gouernour
of
the
Towne
hee
rendered
,
and
his
Regiment
lefte
there
in
garrison
with
the
receite
of
two
moneths
paie
.
For
a
while
he
liued
in
the
greatest
applause
that
might
bee
:
Cardinall
Allen
was
written
vnto
to
set
down
Priests
to
instruct
this
religious
regiment
:
he
informed
the
Pope
thereof
,
who
both
wrote
ioyntlie
to
the
King
to
be
good
vnto
this
regiment
.
Which
beeing
well
and
liberally
intreated
,
as
they
had
alreadie
at
Rhemes
and
Rome
,
a
Seminarie
of
schollers
to
praie
and
write
for
the
Catholyke
cause
of
our
Countrie
:
So
this
conducted
by
so
worthie
and
Catholike
a
Gentleman
as
sir
William
Standley
was
,
might
bee
a
continuall
nurserie
and
seminarie
of
souldiers
to
fight
for
the
same
.
Downe
came
Priestes
thicke
and
three-folde
,
from
France
and
Italy
,
many
masses
and
much
preaching
there
was
:
Gentlemen
from
all
parts
drew
downe
thether
,
in
hope
of
this
good
paiment
,
and
golden
world
that
then
was
talked
of
.
But
what
followed
within
short
space
,
to
weaken
their
number
,
three
of
their
companies
vnder
colour
of
seruice
,
were
cunninglye
drawen
out
of
the
Towne
by
Verdugo
Haaltephen
,
neuer
from
that
time
after
being
suffered
to
return
to
it
again
:
and
within
a
while
after
sir
,
William
him selfe
with
the
remnant
,
was
commanded
vnder
the
lyke
colour
of
seruice
,
to
come
foorth
,
being
tolde
that
hee
shoulde
presently
returne
into
it
againe
.
And
by
this
fine
meanes
was
eased
of
his
gouernment
,
and
such
goods
as
hee
and
his
souldiers
lefte
,
were
spoiled
&
made
bootie
of
.
And
sithence
that
time
his
seminarie
souldiers
,
with
all
their
religion
,
were
neuer
trusted
in
anie
towne
,
nor
neuer
shal
be
I
warrant
them
.
From
thence
they
were
presently
drawen
downe
into
Brabant
,
where
they
wintered
in
the
field
without
monie
,
and
in
such
great
miserie
and
pouertie
,
that
tenne
weekes
together
theyr
chiefest
foode
and
sustenaunce
in
Turnolt
,
was
vnpoudered
acornes
,
which
they
founde
in
cellers
:
which
dyet
the
Priests
not
liking
of
,
came
to
theyr
Coronell
to
Antwarp
,
who
to
auoide
the
lamentations
and
complaints
of
his
souldiers
,
had
gotten
him
there
a
lodging
,
where
you
should
neuer
haue
found
his
table
without
a
squadron
of
priests
.
Some
did
wonder
,
so
worthy
a
souldier
could
suffer
their
indignities
,
which
to
auoide
,
some
yeeres
since
hee
went
into
Spaine
:
partlye
to
secure
vnto
himselfe
some
estate
of
liuing
,
of
which
he
now
considering
this
dealing
,
began
to
doubt
:
partly
by
the
inuitation
of
the
Iesuites
,
with
which
order
hee
is
exceedingly
inchanted
,
&
to
them
wholy
subiected
:
who
dealt
for
him
in
such
sorte
with
the
Cardinall
,
that
he
presently
sent
Parsons
awaie
into
Spaine
,
to
informe
the
King
of
his
worthinesse
,
vertue
,
and
experience
of
the
sea
coastes
of
England
,
but
especially
of
his
intelligence
about
Irelande
,
which
in
truth
hee
presumeth
to
bee
verie
greate
.
Parsons
plaide
his
part
in
such
sort
,
that
sir
William
was
presently
sent
for
:
who
vpon
his
ariuall
,
did
what
hee
could
,
to
perswade
the
king
to
send
forces
for
Ireland
:
but
belyke
there
was
not
such
credite
giuen
him
as
hee
expected
,
insomuch
that
he
wrote
Letters
to
H.
Holt
the
Iesuite
in
Brusels
(
which
is
one
of
those
on
whom
he
chiefly
relyeth
)
of
great
discontentment
,
signifieng
,
that
his
entertainment
was
far
colder
than
he
expected
.
Within
short
space
after
,
he
was
sent
downe
to
the
kings
Nauie
,
lying
at
Coconia
,
whereas
yet
he
remaineth
.
In
the
meane
time
his
regiment
began
to
drop
and
droupe
awaie
,
in
such
sort
,
that
what
for
lacke
of
sustenance
,
&
what
for
ill
vsage
,
the
number
of
them
was
melted
to
an
hundred
and
fiftie
:
which
base
and
villanous
vsage
the
grauest
and
wisest
of
his
Captaines
seeing
,
especially
abhorring
the
trecherous
practises
of
theyr
Coronell
,
made
by
secrete
meanes
humble
intercession
to
her
most
gracious
MAISTIE
,
to
pardon
theyr
offences
committed
,
and
to
grant
them
libertie
to
liue
in
their
Country
:
which
of
her
most
princely
and
royall
benignitie
shee
graunted
,
so
as
now
they
liue
here
in
honest
and
good
sort
,
&
can
testifie
all
this
which
I
haue
sayd
to
be
true
.
Hauing
gotten
sir
William
out
of
Deuenter
,
yet
Yorke
still
remained
a
blemish
in
their
eie
,
who
alwais
,
notwithstanding
theyr
base
vsage
,
stil
flourished
&
bare
his
head
aloft
,
ranging
ouer
the
whole
coun●rie
with
his
Companie
,
bringing
in
daylye
many
great
and
rich
booties
:
Him
therefore
fairly
on
a
daie
at
dinner
,
they
caused
to
bee
poysoned
,
where
likewise
were
poisoned
with
him
yong
Richard
Souch
,
&
Robert
Fen
priest
:
but
hee
belike
hauing
swalowed
the
best
Boncon
,
they
only
met
with
the
drams
,
so
that
he
dyed
miserablie
,
and
they
fell
sick
and
brake
out
into
many
pustles
&
biles
,
yet
afterwardes
recouered
,
and
did
giue
this
testimony
.
His
breath
was
no
sooner
out
of
his
bodie
,
but
Fiorias
a
Spaniard
,
and
Vandenberg
,
the
newe
gouernour
of
Deuenter
,
rushte
into
his
lodging
to
breake
vp
his
coffers
,
in
which
beeing
withstoode
by
Yorkes
lieutenant
Edward
Boncer
,
and
●is
brother
,
they
caused
their
gards
at
no
one
dayes
to
enter
in
vpon
them
,
and
to
murther
them
both
in
theyr
own
presence
:
which
done
,
they
brake
vp
his
coffers
,
tooke
out
his
iewels
,
plate
,
and
mony
,
of
which
they
found
great
store
,
appropriating
the
same
to
theyr
townes
vse
,
which
he
by
Testament
had
giuen
to
a
little
youth
his
nephew
,
being
nowe
at
this
present
in
England
.
Lastly
,
they
chased
his
whole
companie
out
of
the
towne
,
and
spoiled
theyr
baggage
at
the
gates
.
The
poore
souldiers
beeing
thus
inhumanely
depriued
of
their
Captaine
and
Lieutenant
,
and
seeing
them selues
so
vilely
dealt
with
,
repaired
to
Verslugo
for
releefe
,
who
for
recompence
presentlye
cashierd
them
all
without
the
receit
of
one
pennie
.
Afterwardes
they
gaue
out
and
published
,
that
Yorke
was
poisoned
by
subornation
of
the
counsell
of
England
,
but
,
if
there
had
bene
no
other
proofes
(
as
there
were
infinite
)
yet
the
sequele
of
their
doings
,
their
murthering
of
his
friends
,
and
their
robbing
of
his
treasure
,
shewed
by
whom
it
was
done
,
and
whereat
they
aimed
.
If
these
examples
bee
not
inough
▪
to
serue
the
turne
,
but
that
perchance
you
wil
saie
,
he
hath
delt
better
with
priuate
men
.
If
you
can
name
mee
but
anie
one
that
he
hath
raised
or
aduanced
to
honor
,
or
that
liueth
richly
or
wealthily
in
his
seruice
,
I
wil
name
you
an
hundred
,
that
beeing
Gentlemen
of
good
houses
and
of
worthie
merite
,
haue
consumed
,
languished
,
and
beene
brought
to
nothing
in
his
seruice
,
some
of
them
perished
&
died
for
lacke
of
sustenance
.
You
perchance
will
name
Hugh
Owen
,
and
in
good
faith
hee
is
the
onely
man
that
euer
I
knew
aduanced
,
credited
,
or
graced
in
his
seruice
.
And
yet
(
God
wot
)
all
that
hee
getteth
,
is
no
more
than
to
maintain
him
in
a
meane
estate
and
shew
,
with
a
man
onely
or
two
to
serue
him
.
Where
on
the
other
side
I
will
reckon
you
vp
of
those
that
are
onely
for
want
of
thinges
necessarie
,
and
of
pure
pouertie
consumed
and
dead
,
M.
Copley
,
L.
Dacers
,
Michael
Tempest
,
olde
Norton
,
Tremaine
,
Stradling
,
Henrie
Carew
,
Edward
Allen
,
Southwell
,
with
sundrie
others
of
good
race
and
credite
in
their
Countrie
:
Copley
being
sicke
at
Beuere
,
and
in
vnspeakable
distresse
and
calamitie
,
desired
a
Gentleman
his
kinsman
,
one
Lo.
Lewkner
,
to
beeseech
Pedro
de
Olane
,
who
then
was
Treasurer
,
to
paie
him
vpon
an
assignation
which
hee
had
,
onely
fiue
pounds
,
protesting
that
at
that
present
his
lyfe
might
there
with
be
saued
.
The
Gentleman
performed
his
request
with
all
instance
and
fidelitie
,
as
he
hath
often
times
told
me
,
but
coulde
not
obtaine
one
pennie
.
Wherevpon
hee
mooued
the
Duke
,
but
nothing
woulde
come
,
so
that
without
finding
anie
man
that
tooke
compassion
of
his
distresse
,
his
owne
Countriemen
beeing
vnable
to
helpe
him
,
he
ended
his
lyfe
,
though
with
patience
vertuously
and
well
,
yet
the
state
of
so
honourable
a
Gentleman
considered
,
most
pittifully
,
and
in
great
miserie
.
To
recite
vnto
you
the
names
of
those
that
doo
yet
liue
so
poorely
and
vncomfortably
in
his
pension
,
woulde
bee
too
long
,
and
therefore
take
them
all
in
generall
(
Charles
Paget
onely
excepted
)
and
examine
them
one
from
another
,
from
my
Lord
of
Westmerland
downward
,
euen
to
the
verie
lowest
:
and
if
there
bee
in
the
whole
worlde
a
more
miserable
and
discontented
troupe
of
Gentlemen
than
they
are
,
let
mee
neuer
bee
credited
in
anie
thing
else
that
I
shall
tell
you
.
And
because
you
shall
your selfe
the
better
iudge
,
I
wyll
tell
you
what
paiment
they
haue
,
of
such
pensions
as
the
king
hath
giuen
them
.
They
had
granted
them
at
Bruges
the
first
daie
of
August
,
in
the
yeere
one
thousand
fiue
hundred
eightie
and
eight
,
a
generall
Liberanca
,
to
receyue
three
moneths
paie
a
peece
of
their
pensions
,
since
that
time
they
haue
followed
the
Duke
from
Towne
to
Towne
,
making
vnto
him
sundrye
requestes
for
the
payment
thereof
.
But
if
they
haue
vntill
this
present
daie
obtayned
the
same
,
then
let
mee
not
be
credited
in
anie
parte
of
the
rest
which
I
shall
heere
intreate
of
.
In
deede
some
small
time
past
,
Cosimo
beeing
wearyed
with
their
importunities
and
lamentations
,
addressed
them
to
Baptista
Spinola
,
a
baker
dwelling
it
Antwarpe
,
giuing
them
his
Letter
,
and
sending
the
same
by
one
H.
Haselwood
,
requesting
him
to
relieue
those
distressed
English
Gentlemen
,
and
to
buy
their
Liberanca
,
which
he
doubted
not
but
they
would
sell
good
cheap
,
greatly
to
his
profit
:
the
whole
summe
was
ten
thousand
crownes
,
which
Cosimo
promised
him
should
be
allowed
,
and
paid
in
the
reckoning
he
had
with
the
king
.
Haselwood
in
the
name
of
the
rest
,
offered
him
the
sayd
summe
for
sixe
hundred
.
But
Spinola
vtterly
refused
the
same
,
saying
he
wold
not
take
it
for
two
hundred
,
and
withall
hee
desired
that
hee
might
not
medldle
anie
more
with
the
king
,
wishing
that
hee
had
not
medled
with
him
so
much
.
So
that
they
were
fain
to
returne
pennilesse
,
and
doo
at
this
instant
liue
in
so
poore
and
pittyfull
sort
,
that
truly
my
heart
grieueth
to
see
it
,
insomuch
that
I
knew
a
Gentleman
that
solde
his
parte
there
,
being
foure
and
twentie
pounds
,
for
three
pounds
.
But
perchance
you
will
saie
,
he
giueth
great
pensisions
,
and
entertaineth
manye
of
our
Nation
:
it
is
true
in
deede
,
in
shew
hee
doth
so
,
and
therewyth
doth
bleare
the
worldes
eyes
with
a
shew
of
greate
liberalitie
.
But
his
paiment
and
vsage
considered
,
(
God
is
my
iudge
and
witnesse
)
I
speake
vnfainedly
,
I
account
it
a
farre
happier
estate
to
bee
a
doore-keeper
in
that
your
blessed
soile
,
than
to
be
heere
a
pensioner
to
the
king
of
Spaine
,
I
leaue
the
iudgement
of
the
truth
thereof
,
to
those
that
haue
tryed
it
:
you
haue
many
amongst
you
,
confer
with
them
,
and
examine
them
vppon
their
consciences
:
as
for
my
part
,
in
good
faith
I
cannot
imagine
cause
why
he
entertaineth
vs
,
vnlesse
it
be
to
vse
vs
as
stales
,
to
allure
others
,
considering
the
hatred
that
he
and
his
beare
vs
,
and
so
vnder
the
dissembled
colour
of
a
false
affection
,
to
ouerthrow
vs
all
at
last
.
Thus
much
I
dare
boldly
saie
,
because
through
the
conference
I
haue
had
with
them
,
I
doo
know
assuredly
,
that
euen
those
of
our
nation
which
doo
most
serue
his
turne
,
howsoeuer
in
outward
apparance
they
seem
for
some
particular
causes
to
magnifie
and
extoll
his
liberalitie
,
yet
in
their
owne
secret
conceits
they
do
imagine
&
know
nothing
in
the
world
to
be
more
reprochfull
,
base
,
and
contemptible
,
than
to
be
an
Entertain
do
in
the
king
of
Spaines
seruice
.
As
for
example
:
you
shall
easilie
see
what
account
is
made
of
them
.
At
such
time
as
preparation
was
made
at
Brussels
for
the
voyage
of
Englande
,
when
they
all
expected
to
bee
made
knights
,
coronels
,
captaines
,
and
conducters
of
the
armie
,
and
to
be
filled
with
crownes
,
they
were
so
farre
from
those
matters
with
which
they
flattered
themselues
,
that
in
stead
of
being
honored
and
aduaunced
,
they
were
the
onelye
reiected
and
contemned
people
that
followed
the
Courte
,
all
men
beeing
releeued
with
some
moneths
paie
(
they
onely
excepted
)
and
which
is
more
,
whereas
they
mooued
the
Duke
sundry
times
to
knowe
his
pleasure
,
how
hee
woulde
dispose
of
them
in
this
iourney
,
telling
him
besides
,
that
vpon
the
well
vsage
of
them
,
depended
much
matter
of
importaunce
,
as
the
alluring
&
drawing
vnto
them
other
gentlemen
of
theyr
kinsmen
and
friendes
,
who
vppon
hope
of
the
lyke
good
vsage
,
honour
,
and
aduauncement
,
woulde
bee
able
to
doo
greate
seruice
vppon
their
landing
:
where
contrariwise
,
in
seeing
them
come
ouer
so
poore
in
shew
,
without
credite
,
monie
,
or
armes
,
lyke
lackies
,
for
so
were
the
wordes
of
theyr
request
,
it
woulde
bee
a
cause
to
terrifie
them
from
vndertaking
anie
such
course
.
They
were
by
the
Duke
scornefully
and
with
derision
reiected
,
neither
did
he
vouchsafe
to
giue
them
anie
other
aunswere
,
than
onely
that
hee
woulde
thinke
vppon
it
.
But
on
the
night
that
they
thought
to
embarke
,
he
departed
,
leauing
them
all
behind
,
not
thinking
them
anie
waie
worthie
to
bee
called
vppon
,
or
to
bee
taken
with
him
.
Wherevpon
the
Lord
Westmerland
and
Paget
,
and
sundrie
others
,
layd
their
heads
together
,
and
made
their
complaint
to
the
Duke
of
Pastraua
,
by
whome
they
were
as
basely
and
scornfully
handled
as
by
the
other
,
insomuch
that
a
great
Spaniarde
standing
by
,
asked
them
whether
they
thought
the
king
of
Spaine
not
puisant
inough
to
winne
England
,
without
them
and
theyr
friendes
.
Vppon
which
answere
the
Lord
Paget
,
that
verily
thought
hee
shoulde
haue
beene
made
one
of
the
priuie
Councell
,
and
now
finding
himselfe
to
bee
had
in
so
small
account
,
conceiued
such
an
inward
griefe
,
that
from
that
time
forward
hee
neuer
ioyed
tyll
his
dying
daie
.
Sir
William
Standley
also
tooke
it
in
such
heauie
and
disdainefull
sorte
,
that
he
was
not
called
to
the
counsell
of
warres
,
whereas
hee
presumed
,
and
so
gaue
out
,
that
no
man
in
the
army
knew
more
,
or
was
better
able
in
this
voiage
than
himselfe
,
that
he
sequestred
himselfe
from
the
Country
,
and
came
malecontent
,
and
hired
an
house
in
Antwarpe
,
where
hee
liued
a
most
melancholy
lyfe
foure
or
fiue
moneths
,
and
oftentimes
would
burst
out
into
such
impassionate
speeches
,
that
the
world
verily
imagined
he
wold
haue
professed
himselfe
into
a
cloister
.
Besides
,
the
loue
the
Spaniarde
beareth
vs
,
appeareth
by
the
speeches
hee
dayly
vseth
in
publyke
assemblies
concerning
vs
.
Once
seeing
certayne
Englysh-men
passe
by
,
as
they
stood
a
great
manie
of
them
in
a
ring
,
(
as
they
vse
)
together
vppon
the
bridge
in
Antwarpe
,
they
sayde
,
They
wondered
what
the
king
made
with
such
vermine
in
his
countrie
,
one
of
them
swearing
a
greate
oath
,
that
looke
how
many
English-men
there
were
in
the
Lowe
countries
,
there
were
so
many
spies
and
traitours
.
Another
sayd
,
it
were
an
almes
deede
to
put
them
all
in
sackes
,
and
throw
them
into
the
riuer
.
I
could
recite
a
thousand
more
such
speeches
,
but
that
they
are
not
worth
the
remembring
.
They
are
so
ielous
and
suspitious
of
vs
,
that
if
anie
thing
proue
vntowardly
in
their
seruice
,
they
thinke
it
straight
to
be
done
by
our
especiall
meanes
and
intelligence
.
As
vpon
the
taking
of
Axhil
by
that
braue
and
worthie
souldyer
Sir
Phillip
Sidney
,
of
worthie
memorie
,
Mondragon
presently
imprisoned
Paget
within
the
Castle
,
tooke
awaie
all
things
whatsoeuer
that
hee
had
woorth
anie
thing
,
and
the
rest
he
caused
his
men
to
rifle
and
steale
,
saying
openly
that
we
are
all
traitors
and
spies
.
To
confirme
the
confidence
they
haue
in
vs
,
tell
mee
what
companies
of
English
they
haue
trusted
within
these
ten
yeeres
in
garison
?
I
am
sure
you
cannot
name
one
.
And
whereas
sundrie
Gentlemen
amongst
vs
haue
instantly
sued
to
haue
their
pensions
granted
them
in
the
castle
of
Antwarpe
or
Gaunt
,
because
the
payment
is
there
somewhat
better
:
No
one
hath
hetherto
bene
able
to
attaine
the
same
:
so
vile
&
base
is
the
reckoning
they
make
of
vs
.
I
coulde
alleadge
vnto
you
many
other
examples
,
of
sundry
disgraces
offered
vnto
our
Nation
,
whereby
we
might
(
if
we
list
)
easily
discouer
the
hatred
they
beare
vs
,
the
suspition
they
haue
of
vs
,
and
the
danger
wherein
we
stande
,
to
haue
one
daie
our
throats
cut
.
But
this
I
hope
,
which
I
haue
alreadie
rehearsed
,
shall
suffice
fully
to
assure
and
persuade
you
,
that
here
is
no
aduancement
,
wealth
,
or
reputation
to
be
gotten
,
but
pouertie
,
perill
,
iealousie
,
and
disgrace
.
Now
let
vs
see
,
touching
the
point
of
conscience
,
and
repose
in
religion
,
if
the
same
bee
to
bee
found
here
,
such
as
you
expect
.
In
matter
of
religion
,
I
wil
not
take
it
vppon
mee
to
dispute
,
because
it
were
to
digresse
from
my
purpose
,
and
besides
,
I
neuer
studied
diuinitie
:
onely
making
comparison
between
the
comfortable
freedome
of
the
one
,
and
the
dispayring
slauery
of
the
other
,
laying
on
the
one
side
indulgences
,
pilgrimages
,
forged
relikes
,
fabulous
deuises
,
and
auricular
confessions
:
on
the
other
side
,
the
merites
and
passion
of
our
Sauiour
Iesus
Christ
,
the
inuocation
of
his
holye
name
,
and
true
penitence
proceeding
from
a
contrite
heart
:
on
the
one
side
mens
traditions
,
and
on
the
other
side
,
the
sincere
and
holy
word
of
our
sauiour
.
I
thinke
the
choice
is
not
harde
to
make
for
him
whose
heart
is
not
hindered
with
obstinacle
and
selfe-will
opinion
.
But
leauing
this
,
and
allowing
your
religion
to
be
good
,
let
vs
com●
to
the
conten●ment
which
you
might
heere
receiue
in
free
vsage
of
the
same
,
together
with
the
conseruation
of
such
other
your
countrie
men
which
here
do
professe
the
same
religion
.
First
,
I
thinke
you
are
not
ignorant
of
the
broyles
,
diuisions
,
seditions
,
and
factions
,
which
are
heere
among
them
,
some
they
call
Patriots
,
some
Iesuites
,
some
ouer
negligent
&
carelesse
in
religion
,
other
some
ouer
pure
and
hypocriticall
,
some
dunces
state
men
;
but
the
notablest
of
all
these
factions
,
is
that
betweene
our
Cardinall
Doctor
Allen
,
and
D.
Lewes
Bishop
of
Casane
:
on
these
two
parties
are
all
dependant
,
and
so
must
you
be
also
,
if
you
were
here
,
or
otherwise
cleauing
to
neither
of
them
,
you
shoulde
bee
counted
enemie
to
them
both
,
and
so
within
short
space
might
put
vp
your
pipes
,
for
you
shuld
be
sure
to
be
put
vp
for
a
spye
,
or
at
the
least
so
to
be
crossed
in
all
your
matters
&
pretences
,
that
you
wold
quickly
,
I
warrant
you
,
be
weary
of
such
entertainment
:
on
the
other
side
,
imbracing
the
one
,
what
enuie
,
what
defamation
,
what
slaunder
should
you
not
be
subiect
vnto
?
On
the
other
side
what
oathes
and
solempne
depositions
must
you
make
?
Finally
,
you
woulde
thinke
there
were
no
greater
purgatorie
than
to
liue
among
these
discentions
,
iarres
,
and
tumults
.
These
two
factions
I
tell
you
off
,
haue
sought
to
ouerthrowe
one
anothers
credite
in
the
chiefest
courtes
in
Christendome
,
tossing
to
and
fro
such
foule
and
filthie
defamations
,
that
all
men
almost
cryed
out
agaynst
them
both
.
On
the
other
side
of
the
Cardinall
,
are
dependant
Hugh
Owen
,
with
the
Iesuites
and
their
retinue
of
fauorites
.
On
the
other
side
the
Bishop
of
Dunglane
a
Scottish-man
,
the
Lorde
Paget
whilest
hee
liued
,
Charles
Paget
,
Thomas
Morgan
,
the
two
Throgmortons
,
Ra.
Liggins
,
&c.
The
beginning
heereof
arose
about
the
Cardinalshippe
,
to
which
both
Allen
and
Lewes
were
comptitours
:
each
one
for
the
obtaining
thereof
applyed
his
friendes
to
the
vttermost
,
but
at
length
thorough
the
instant
pursuite
of
the
Iesuites
,
and
of
theyr
faction
,
were
for
euer
after
mortally
hated
,
all
those
that
had
bin
wayes
or
fautors
to
Doctor
Lewes
,
but
chiefely
and
among
the
rest
Thomas
Throgmorton
,
who
had
bene
one
of
the
earnestest
in
that
pursuite
.
The
Iesuites
since
haue
had
many
a
plu●ke
at
him
,
but
Morgan
beeing
wise
,
strengthened
himselfe
alwayes
wyth
such
friendes
,
that
they
coulde
neuer
doo
him
anie
hurt
,
but
rather
secretly
hee
galled
them
:
the
which
they
seeing
,
and
perceiuing
that
that
was
not
the
waie
to
bee
reuenged
of
him
,
they
tooke
another
course
,
and
that
was
this
:
One
euening
as
hee
came
from
the
Church
,
they
caused
him
to
be
assaulted
by
a
young
man
called
Gage
,
who
giuing
him
on
the
sodayne
a
grieuous
blowe
vppon
the
face
,
presently
made
hast
awaie
,
and
so
for
that
time
escaped
,
but
was
afterwardes
by
my
Lorde
Pagets
meanes
and
earnest
pursuite
apprehended
.
The
Iesuites
and
their
parte
seemed
at
the
first
to
denie
that
they
had
beene
the
causers
of
that
fact
,
but
the
sequele
of
theyr
proceedinges
made
it
most
apparant
vnto
the
whole
world
.
For
when
Morgan
,
my
Lorde
Paget
,
and
diuerse
of
their
parte
,
laboured
verie
instantlye
and
with
often
petitions
vnto
the
Duke
,
to
haue
the
rigour
and
seueritie
of
iustice
to
proceede
against
him
,
of
whome
they
had
receiued
this
greate
iniurie
,
they
to
stoppe
theyr
mouthes
,
and
to
preuent
the
mischiefe
that
might
insue
,
found
no
better
meanes
than
to
accuse
Morgan
of
treason
,
laying
to
his
charge
sundrie
pointes
of
trecherie
touching
the
Queene
of
Scotland
.
Besides
,
they
accused
him
to
haue
beene
a
setter
on
of
Gifford
&
his
assistances
,
in
such
practises
as
hee
had
vndertaken
by
sir
Franc●s
Walsinghams
warrant
,
and
to
that
end
sent
Chryton
the
Scottish
Iesuite
,
to
Paris
,
to
take
Gyffords
examination
.
And
withall
,
they
made
some
of
their
adherents
to
take
theyr
oth
before
their
Auditour
generall
,
that
in
theyr
conscience
they
thought
Morgan
to
bee
a
traitour
and
a
spie
:
vnto
the
taking
of
which
oath
also
,
they
laboured
earnestlie
with
sundrie
others
,
which
(
they
not
hauing
theyr
consciences
so
saleable
as
some
of
them
)
had
refused
and
vtterlye
denyed
to
doo
:
yet
in
the
meane
time
while
these
thinges
were
in
hand
,
with
their
forged
accusations
they
wrought
so
,
that
Morgan
was
apprehended
&
clapt
vp
in
close
prison
,
whereas
yet
hee
remaineth
.
But
this
broile
hath
opened
such
foule
matters
,
both
of
the
one
side
and
of
the
other
,
that
the
whole
Nation
is
therewith
infamed
,
and
held
to
be
tra●tors
&
spies
,
and
in
good
faith
,
in
my
iudgement
,
not
vnworthily
.
Good
sir
,
take
it
not
in
ill
parte
,
that
I
write
thus
boldly
vnto
you
:
for
as
neere
as
I
can
,
my
indeuor
is
to
let
you
knowe
what
hell
,
torment
,
and
vexation
it
is
to
liue
heere
,
among
this
vnquiet
,
troublesome
,
&
traiterous
crew
.
I
meane
not
this
by
them
all
,
for
there
are
among
them
some
well
disposed
and
honest
gentlemen
,
whom
they
vse
in
such
malitious
and
wicked
sorte
,
that
they
make
them
in
a
manner
wearie
of
theyr
liues
.
But
the
pretiest
of
all
is
,
to
see
how
smoothly
they
handle
the
matter
with
you
in
England
,
and
how
they
do
abuse
your
simplicitie
.
They
make
you
and
other
Catholykes
of
England
beleeue
,
that
what
practises
and
driftes
so
euer
they
take
in
hand
,
are
all
●or
the
zeale
of
religion
and
aduancement
of
the
Catholike
cause
,
&
the
seely
souls
thinke
all
they
saie
is
Gospell
,
wheras
(
God
wot
)
religion
is
the
least
matter
of
an
hundred
they
thinke
vpon
.
The
only
point
they
shoot
at
,
being
lost
Companies
at
home
;
is
to
make
them selues
great
heere
,
and
to
make
you
hazarde
your
liues
,
reputation
,
and
credit
:
and
therefore
they
are
alwais
breeding
of
practises
and
conspiracies
both
within
and
without
the
realme
,
caring
not
what
successe
they
take
:
if
they
proue
wel
,
then
they
wil
haue
the
praise
,
merite
,
honor
,
and
reward
thereof
:
if
otherwis●
,
then
they
saie
their
good
will
must
be
accepted
,
and
therewith
they
thinke
to
winne
the
reputation
to
be
counted
great
state-men
,
and
contriuers
of
waighty
matters
,
not
caring
in
the
meane
time
,
for
the
securitie
of
them
by
whome
they
worke
,
as
appeareth
by
the
example
and
fall
of
many
braue
Gentlemen
of
England
,
whome
they
by
theyr
trecherous
practises
haue
brought
to
ruine
and
destruction
.
They
verie
well
knew
,
that
when
they
first
began
to
set
abroach
the
matter
of
Babington
and
his
disloyall
confederates
,
that
the
effectation
thereof
was
altogether
vnpossible
,
as
Mendoza
the
Spanish
embassador
told
Ballard
the
priest
,
their
instrument
in
contriuing
the
same
,
when
hee
was
first
brought
vnto
him
in
Paris
by
C.
Paget
,
to
desire
him
with
all
speed
to
informe
the
Kings
his
master
of
their
intention
,
&
withall
,
that
at
a
daie
appointed
they
might
haue
some
force
and
assistaunce
of
men
readie
to
corespond
with
them
:
but
that
was
all
one
,
so
they
might
bee
counted
men
of
greate
reach
,
and
dealers
in
such
high
state
matters
,
they
spared
not
to
proceede
in
inchanting
those
poore
vnexperienced
young
Gentlemen
,
in
such
sorte
,
as
to
the
whole
world
is
manifest
,
and
need
not
to
be
recited
.
Let
all
Gentlemen
in
England
,
especiallye
papists
,
take
heed
and
beware
of
their
mischieuous
broode
of
caterpillers
,
for
they
speake
so
deuoutly
,
looke
so
smoothly
,
and
write
with
such
counterfeited
grauitie
and
holines
,
that
it
is
hard
for
any
man
to
eschue
their
deadly
baits
;
vnlesse
he
thoroughly
doo
first
know
their
trechery
,
vnder
which
they
do
colour
and
shroude
them
.
What
hath
brought
master
shellie
into
these
his
extreame
troubles
and
perill
of
lyfe
,
if
her
gracious
Maiestie
of
her
greate
clemency
&
merciful
disposition
had
not
regarded
him
with
the
eyes
of
pittie
?
Likewise
,
what
hath
brought
the
late
Earle
of
Northumberland
into
trouble
and
calamitie
,
and
finally
to
that
desperate
and
miserable
end
,
but
onely
these
outlandish
practises
,
&
their
conference
with
counterfeit
Mopo
,
I
meane
C.
Paget
,
who
was
sent
out
of
France
by
this
seditious
troupe
,
to
vndermine
and
ouerthrowe
both
the
one
and
the
other
?
What
besides
hath
beene
the
cause
of
bringing
so
many
other
Gentlemen
to
the
losse
of
their
liues
and
liuings
,
that
liued
before
in
ease
,
repose
,
and
securitie
of
conscience
:
and
which
is
more
,
were
it
not
that
that
plot
contriued
the
death
of
the
Queene
of
Scotland
,
by
setting
her
in
continuall
practise
one
vppon
another
,
agaynst
the
sacred
person
and
royall
state
of
our
most
gracious
soueraigne
Queene
,
so
that
of
violent
necessitie
,
her
Maiestie
though
vnwilling
and
with
great
griefe
,
at
the
generall
and
instant
petition
of
all
her
Graces
most
louing
and
faithfull
subiectes
,
whose
onely
weale
and
comfort
dependeth
vppon
her
long
lyfe
and
prosperitie
,
to
satisfie
them
,
and
to
preserue
the
state
of
her
noble
&
florishing
realme
in
quyet
,
was
constrained
by
cutting
off
that
rankled
and
infected
parte
,
to
yeelde
ease
,
remedie
and
comfort
to
the
rest
of
the
whole
bodie
.
I
saye
not
this
onely
of
my selfe
,
though
I
and
all
the
worlde
else
doo
knowe
it
to
bee
verie
true
:
but
these
their
dealings
haue
made
them
hatefull
and
destable
euen
to
those
of
their
owne
religion
.
For
that
a
fresh
Iesuite
tearmeth
them
all
in
generall
in
a
Booke
,
which
hee
hath
written
touching
the
Queene
of
Scotlandes
death
,
a
viperous
,
mischieuous
,
and
faithlesse
kinde
of
people
,
trecherous
to
those
they
deale
withall
,
disdainfull
,
arrogant
,
ambitious
,
and
worthy
to
be
extermined
out
of
the
vtmost
bounds
of
the
worlde
.
Besides
many
other
such
goodly
epethites
,
with
which
hee
beautifies
them
in
their
colours
,
his
whole
booke
beeing
nothing
else
but
railing
against
English
papistes
,
wishing
all
princes
,
noble
men
and
Gentlemen
whatsoeuer
,
to
beware
and
take
heed
of
them
:
and
that
in
such
earnest
,
vehement
,
and
inuectiue
manner
,
that
it
is
not
possible
to
be
more
.
But
some
man
perchance
may
demaund
of
me
what
theyr
meaning
heerein
maye
bee
,
or
what
credite
,
commoditie
or
gayne
might
haue
allured
them
to
enter
into
these
before
sayd
,
so
wicked
and
detestable
imaginations
.
For
aunswere
heereunto
:
first
I
tolde
you
,
that
so
they
might
bee
accounted
and
reputed
for
greate
state-men
,
high
spirited
,
and
greate
of
action
,
to
procure
that
reputation
and
estimation
they
care
not
whose
estate
they
indaunger
.
But
besides
all
this
which
wee
haue
alreadie
spoken
of
,
they
haue
also
further
meaninges
and
driftes
,
as
those
that
doo
looke
deeplyest
and
dilygentest
into
theyr
actions
,
doo
verilye
imagine
,
and
haue
bene
by
sundrie
their
procedinges
euidently
discouerd
,
amongest
which
,
the
chiefest
is
,
that
as
they
are
of
all
people
liuing
the
most
ambitious
,
so
seeing
this
beggerly
seruice
dooth
not
fit
theyr
humour
,
they
doo
feed
themselues
with
an
imagination
of
the
time
to
come
,
I
meane
a
Spanish
or
popish
world
in
this
our
countrie
,
at
which
time
then
they
doubt
not
,
the
long
time
of
their
exile
,
sufferance
,
and
lacke
of
liuing
considered
(
for
so
is
their
phrase
and
manner
of
speech
)
to
become
mightye
and
great
men
,
and
to
haue
the
principall
rule
,
sway
dignitie
,
and
great
authoritie
in
our
countrie
.
Marrie
againe
on
the
other
side
,
considering
that
they
are
but
base
companions
of
births
and
liuing
,
and
that
there
are
in
England
many
gentlemen
of
great
qualitie
and
houses
of
the
same
religion
,
that
wold
disdain
to
haue
such
mates
preferred
before
them
in
race
,
quality
or
degree
:
they
●aue
gon
(
by
al
means
possible
they
can
)
aboute
by
practise
or
colourable
deuises
to
roote
them
out
,
so
seruing
their
turnes
two
waies
:
the
one
to
winne
reputation
of
men
of
seruice
:
the
other
,
to
rid
themselues
of
other
competitours
.
But
(
God
be
thanked
)
the
chiefest
harme
their
conspiracies
haue
done
hetherto
,
hath
ben
to
themselues
,
and
they
confounded
in
their
own
deuises
.
And
yet
for
all
this
,
so
many
tragicall
endes
of
their
so
many
traiterous
proceedinges
,
are
they
not
moued
with
any
sparke
of
repentaunce
.
Neyther
hath
the
ruine
of
so
many
of
you
their
countrie-men
wrought
and
contriued
by
their
practise
,
allurement
,
and
perswasion
,
bred
in
them
anie
feeling
of
remorse
of
conscience
,
but
rather
are
thereby
animated
&
incouraged
to
set
new
deuises
abroch
,
with
meaning
in
deed
by
sowing
seditions
among
you
,
&
by
opposing
you
against
the
state
,
to
make
you
the
onely
instruments
of
the
others
ruine
,
and
so
to
make
the
waie
open
to
the
Spanish
tyrant
,
to
which
end
there
is
no
weeke
but
they
receiue
spies
and
spials
from
you
.
Insomuch
that
(
I
speake
vpon
good
assuraunce
)
there
are
at
this
instant
among
you
aboue
three
hundred
seditious
beggerlye
priests
,
sent
ouer
by
them
to
no
other
purpose
.
A
little
before
the
comming
of
the
Spanish
fleet
,
they
sent
foure
priests
and
two
Iesuites
,
in
disguised
apparell
,
throughly
instructed
to
sound
the
meaning
of
such
Gentlemen
,
as
they
thought
to
be
of
theyr
religion
,
and
to
incline
their
minds
to
the
Spanish
cause
,
incouraging
them
to
take
Armes
against
her
MAIESTY
,
to
which
end
they
printed
in
English
many
hundreds
of
bookes
in
Antwarpe
,
barrelling
them
vp
vntill
such
time
as
the
Armie
should
haue
bene
landed
,
and
then
their
meaning
was
to
haue
dispersed
them
,
full
of
the
most
blasphemous
speeches
and
proud
traiterous
menaces
,
as
well
agaynst
her
Maiestie
,
as
against
you
all
in
generall
,
as
neuer
(
I
thinke
)
the
like
was
heard
of
.
Besides
,
they
haue
obtained
of
the
Pope
,
and
of
the
king
,
that
as
many
as
had
their
voices
in
the
parliament
house
,
at
such
time
as
the
Queene
of
Scotland
was
adiudged
to
die
,
of
what
degree
so
euer
they
were
,
should
be
depriued
not
onely
of
theyr
liues
and
liuings
,
but
that
their
posteritie
also
shuld
be
for
euer
dis-inherited
and
disanulled
.
The
lyke
also
they
threatned
in
their
bookes
to
all
such
,
as
well
noble
men
as
others
,
that
should
after
the
landing
of
the
Spaniards
armie
,
persist
in
arms
against
the
same
.
But
all
this
by
the
goodnesse
of
God
hath
but
serued
to
discouer
their
wicked
intentions
,
and
to
animate
all
true
Christian
Englishmen
,
to
persist
with
the
greater
loue
,
vnitie
and
courage
in
their
obedience
to
her
Maiestie
.
But
returning
againe
my
speeches
to
you
,
(
O
vnnatural
English-men
)
to
those
whom
you
should
obey
trecherous
and
vnfaithfull
,
and
of
those
that
you
doo
obey
contemned
and
made
slaues
!
how
can
you
indure
to
thirst
after
the
destruction
of
so
sweete
a
countrie
,
in
which
you
receiued
your
being
,
and
that
gaue
you
nuriture
being
yong
?
What
religion
must
that
be
,
that
animateth
you
to
seeke
subuersion
of
so
benigne
a
princesse
and
of
so
glorious
an
estate
?
The
olde
worthie
Romanes
thought
it
the
most
heroycall
thing
that
might
bee
,
to
vowe
themselues
sometimes
to
death
for
their
countrie
,
and
euen
to
spend
their
liues
in
defence
of
their
alters
,
temples
,
and
monumentes
of
their
Elders
:
and
you
seeke
to
see
your
Countrie
bathing
in
the
bloud
of
your
parents
,
kindred
,
and
friendes
,
to
see
your
cities
,
temples
,
and
auncient
monuments
flaming
in
the
fire
,
to
see
your
virgines
defloured
,
and
further
,
to
bring
the
noblest
nations
to
perpetuall
slauerie
and
seruitude
,
yea
,
and
that
of
the
most
base
,
wicked
,
proude
and
cruellest
nation
that
liueth
,
a
nation
not
yet
fully
an
hundred
yeeres
since
wholie
they
receiued
Christianitie
,
and
as
yet
are
in
their
heartes
a
greate
number
of
them
,
pagans
&
moores
,
from
profession
of
which
,
they
are
onelye
helde
by
the
seuere
bridle
of
the
sanguinarye
and
most
cruell
Heathen
Inquisition
.
But
that
Paganisme
of
theirs
,
which
in
theyr
profession
they
dare
not
shew
,
they
do
in
theyr
tyranie
,
blasphemie
,
sodomie
,
crueltie
,
murther
,
adulterie
,
and
other
abhominations
sufficiently
discouer
.
If
the
Nunamantines
,
Saquntines
,
and
Nessatiagis
burnte
their
townes
,
slewe
theyr
wiues
and
children
,
and
familie
themselues
,
rather
than
they
woulde
receiue
the
yoake
of
worthie
and
vertuous
Nations
that
inuaded
them
,
What
should
we
then
doo
,
whome
our
vertuous
auncestours
haue
lefte
honoured
with
the
innumerable
trophies
of
many
victories
,
rather
than
to
indure
the
insolent
,
wicked
,
and
tyrannous
gouernment
of
that
Nation
,
whome
all
Europe
hath
in
horrour
,
leauing
to
our
posteritie
after
vs
a
perpetuall
seruitude
and
bondage
,
and
an
euerlasting
memorie
of
our
cowardise
.
But
leauing
this
vntill
a
fitter
time
,
I
hope
this
that
is
alreadie
sayde
shall
bee
sufficient
to
make
you
cleerely
and
plainely
vnderstande
,
that
there
is
not
to
bee
obtayned
the
sweetnesse
,
lybertie
,
and
tranquilitie
of
conscience
which
you
expecte
and
looke
for
,
but
rather
turmoile
and
griefe
of
minde
,
with
a
perpetuall
grudging
and
remorse
of
conscience
,
scandalized
with
infinite
and
innumerable
examples
of
ill
lyfe
,
impietie
,
sodomie
,
blasphemie
,
defamation
,
and
periurie
.
On
the
other
side
,
towardes
her
Maiestie
and
the
state
of
your
country
,
you
shall
be
helde
&
reputed
as
a
traitor
,
and
of
those
whom
you
shal
here
serue
,
no
better
,
who
make
no
further
reckning
of
any
of
vs
,
than
as
of
base
people
,
fugitiues
out
of
our
cuntrie
for
debt
,
theeuerie
,
or
some
one
hainous
crime
or
other
,
thinking
it
a
matter
impossible
(
howsoeuer
we
disguise
the
same
vnder
pretext
of
religion
)
that
anie
man
beeing
in
his
countrie
of
honest
calling
or
meanes
to
liue
,
should
be
so
senselesse
as
to
exchange
the
same
for
a
condition
so
base
,
beggerly
,
and
infamous
,
as
that
which
wee
doo
heere
indure
:
And
so
did
a
Spanish
Captaine
in
playne
tearms
signifie
●o
sir
William
Standley
,
as
they
passed
in
the
ordinarie
boote
betweene
Antwarp
and
Brussels
.
But
now
to
the
third
point
of
my
Discourse
,
concerning
the
mislike
which
sundrie
of
you
haue
of
her
Maiesties
gouernment
,
and
the
state
of
your
countrie
at
this
present
,
to
seeke
to
transport
your selues
hether
as
into
a
hauen
of
blis
&
securitie
.
I
will
by
comparing
the
one
with
the
other
,
as
neere
as
I
can
,
let
you
see
the
difference
between
them
both
,
and
so
consequently
,
your
errour
,
as
neere
as
I
can
gesse
,
&
by
report
of
sundrie
comming
thence
informed
,
this
your
disliking
proceedeth
of
two
points
:
The
one
,
that
your
lawes
are
too
rigorously
and
seuerely
executed
against
such
as
professe
the
catholike
religion
:
The
other
,
that
the
aduersarie
hath
buzzed
a
feare
into
your
heades
,
making
you
beleeue
that
the
fortes
of
your
state
are
too
feeble
to
resist
so
mightie
and
puisant
an
enemie
as
the
Spanish
king
,
whose
mightie
treasures
,
many
dominions
,
&
armies
of
men
they
magnifie
to
the
skies
,
and
therefore
perchaunce
you
couet
to
ioyne
betimes
,
with
the
partie
which
you
doo
thinke
most
aduantagious
for
your
future
securitie
&
aduancement
.
First
,
touching
the
persecutions
of
Catholikes
,
which
our
traitors
heere
so
much
exclaime
vpon
,
filling
whole
volumes
therewith
,
and
aggreuating
the
same
in
tearmes
most
bitter
and
lamentable
to
foraine
Nations
.
Let
vs
see
what
reason
they
haue
.
I
would
faine
demand
one
question
,
If
euer
they
dyd
reade
,
heare
,
or
knowe
of
anie
one
King
or
Queene
,
that
dyd
with
greater
mildnesse
of
lenitie
tollerate
or
suffer
within
his
or
her
dominion
a
sect
of
religion
opposite
to
the
lawes
by
him
or
her
establyshed
,
especiallye
the
same
hauing
sundrye
times
rebelliously
attempted
against
their
crown
,
state
,
and
dignitie
.
Let
them
looke
(
if
there
be
men
of
iudgement
)
into
the
ages
passed
,
euen
amongest
the
Heathen
,
and
into
the
present
time
among
all
the
Princes
of
Europe
,
and
if
there
bee
not
anie
to
be
found
that
hath
dealt
with
the
lyke
lenitie
as
her
Maiestie
hath
done
,
why
then
doo
they
so
falselye
slaunder
her
?
Doe
they
not
knowe
that
shee
is
the
sacred
and
annointed
Queene
appointed
by
God
to
gouerne
them
?
If
they
doo
,
why
doo
they
not
then
with
all
penitencie
and
humilitie
,
loue
,
honor
,
and
obey
her
,
and
praying
to
God
to
conuerther
(
seeing
such
is
theyr
desire
)
and
not
by
traiterous
mischiefe
seek
to
murther
and
depriue
her
.
They
learned
not
that
of
the
ancient
Christians
in
the
primitiue
church
.
But
they
will
saie
,
she
hath
executed
many
seminary
priestes
:
I
confesse
she
hath
in
deed
by
cutting
them
off
preserued
her
realme
from
many
diseases
that
rankled
within
the
same
.
But
yet
hath
shee
proceeded
therein
in
so
gracious
and
mercyfull
a
sorte
,
that
shee
hath
witnessed
sufficientlye
to
the
worlde
,
howe
loth
shee
is
to
come
vnto
bloud
,
so
long
as
there
is
anie
other
remedie
in
the
world
to
bee
vsed
.
For
her
MAIESTY
knoweth
,
her
councell
knoweth
,
you
and
I
,
and
the
whole
worlde
knoweth
,
that
the
comming
of
these
Seminaryes
,
priestes
,
and
Iesuites
,
to
reconcile
men
,
as
they
tearme
it
,
to
the
obedience
of
the
Romane
church
,
is
directlye
and
absolutely
to
alienate
and
diuerte
their
minds
from
her
Maiestie
,
and
to
incline
them
to
bee
readie
to
assist
anie
enemie
eyther
within
or
without
the
Realme
,
that
shall
colour
his
cause
vnder
the
pretext
of
religion
.
Her
Maiestie
,
I
saie
,
and
Councell
,
and
all
good
subiectes
knowing
this
and
foreseeing
the
daunger
that
might
thereof
insue
,
forbadde
by
Act
of
Parliament
these
Seminaryes
to
enter
into
her
Realme
,
or
to
vse
or
exercise
anye
such
seditious
doctrine
,
limiting
there
withal
a
time
to
such
as
were
within
the
Realme
,
to
departe
out
of
the
same
.
But
this
sufficed
not
,
these
good
fellowes
thinke
no
lawes
good
or
to
bee
obeyed
,
but
such
as
they
make
themselues
.
In
they
came
as
fast
as
before
,
greate
numbers
of
them
were
taken
and
imprisoned
,
whom
though
her
Maiestie
deseruedly
and
with
great
iustice
,
(
especially
the
daylye
mischiefe
stirred
vp
within
the
Realme
by
theyr
seditious
practises
considered
)
might
haue
executed
as
traitours
and
rebelles
,
yet
the
greatnesse
of
her
princely
clemencie
and
compassion
was
so
loth
to
come
vnto
bloud
,
that
shee
caused
them
all
once
more
to
bee
pardoned
,
and
to
bee
put
out
of
the
Realme
,
but
with
expresse
commaundement
neuer
to
returne
in
lyke
sorte
:
in
dooing
otherwise
they
should
bee
sure
to
finde
no
fauour
.
All
this
woulde
not
serue
theyr
turnes
,
but
in
despight
of
her
Maiestie
and
contempt
of
her
lawes
,
sundrie
of
them
returned
,
of
which
some
of
them
beeing
taken
,
haue
receiued
the
hire
of
theyr
gracelesse
disobedience
and
rebellious
attempte
.
But
that
her
Maiestie
seeketh
not
bloud
,
as
they
most
falsely
giue
out
,
appeareth
by
her
clemencie
vsed
to
sundrie
of
them
,
taken
by
her
souldiers
in
the
Lowe
Countries
,
who
though
they
were
of
sir
William
Standley
his
crewe
and
adherents
,
her
most
professed
enemies
,
yet
seeing
they
were
not
taken
within
England
,
shee
graciously
pardoned
them
,
and
caused
to
be
set
at
libertie
,
in
giuing
some
litle
recompence
to
those
souldiers
that
had
taken
them
prisoners
.
Where
is
then
her
rigour
you
speake
of
?
I
hope
the
king
of
Spaine
keepeth
another
manner
of
rule
in
his
Countries
,
ouer
all
Spaine
,
Portugall
,
Lombardie
,
Naples
,
and
Cicilia
,
whosoeuer
speaketh
a
word
,
or
maketh
the
least
sign
in
the
world
to
mislike
his
religion
there
established
,
or
anie
one
pointe
or
ceremonie
thereof
,
his
cruell
ministers
the
Inquisitours
,
cause
without
remission
to
bee
burnt
aliue
:
as
for
example
,
There
was
this
last
yeere
a
Citizen
in
Antwarpe
,
one
Gyles
Rat
a
shoomaker
,
that
going
into
Spaine
about
some
busines
,
was
apprehended
for
smiling
at
the
Image
of
our
Ladie
,
brought
before
the
Inquisitours
,
and
by
them
presentlye
condemned
to
fire
,
and
with
him
an
English-man
for
the
lyke
cause
,
whose
name
the
Gentleman
that
sawe
them
burned
knew
not
:
but
hee
tolde
mee
that
at
the
time
of
their
execution
,
there
mounted
on
a
scaffolde
thereby
two
Iesuites
,
forbidding
the
people
vpon
paine
of
Excommunication
to
praie
for
them
,
saying
that
they
had
deliuered
them
both
ouer
in
bodie
and
soule
to
the
deuill
,
as
those
that
died
obstinate
and
wilful
heretikes
.
I
woulde
faine
knowe
how
hee
would
doo
with
Ministers
,
if
hee
shoulde
catch
them
in
Spaine
,
as
the
Queene
hath
done
priests
in
England
.
As
for
his
Lowe
Countries
,
I
neuer
heard
but
of
two
taken
,
and
that
was
at
the
siege
of
Dermond
,
and
they
were
both
put
in
to
sackes
by
the
Spaniardes
,
and
throwen
into
the
riuer
.
This
is
in
deede
tyrannie
,
and
not
that
which
her
Maiestie
doth
,
who
is
alwaies
readie
to
receiue
into
grace
and
fauour
those
of
whome
shee
hath
anie
hope
that
they
will
become
good
subiects
,
and
hath
(
as
I
haue
heard
)
offered
euen
at
the
houre
of
their
death
her
princely
mercy
and
fauour
to
some
of
them
,
if
they
woulde
haue
promised
to
become
good
subiects
.
Oh
how
different
from
this
is
their
proceeding
heere
which
you
see
so
highly
commended
!
But
it
is
the
nature
of
men
,
especiallye
of
those
,
whose
iudgements
are
not
setled
as
they
shoulde
bee
,
alwaies
to
mislike
and
loath
those
thinges
to
which
they
are
accustomed
,
thinking
other
to
them
vnknowen
far
better
.
If
you
did
but
once
see
the
tyranous
vsage
&
explication
that
is
vsed
in
matter
of
religion
to
the
poore
people
vnder
the
Spanish
gouernment
in
this
Countrie
,
I
doubte
not
but
you
would
be
of
another
opinion
,
especially
the
woful
slauerie
considered
in
which
the
cleargie
,
or
rather
the
rauening
multitude
of
Iesuites
,
Friers
,
Monkes
and
priests
doo
keepe
their
minde
subiected
.
It
is
not
sufficient
that
they
holde
their
mindes
in
a
perpetuall
despaire
,
pronouncing
vppon
euerie
friuolous
point
damnation
vnto
them
:
but
withal
,
they
compell
them
perforce
to
offeringes
,
to
buying
of
pardons
and
indulgences
,
to
giue
them
money
towardes
the
reparation
of
their
Churches
,
pictures
,
images
,
and
waxe
candles
,
alwaies
hauing
one
deuice
or
other
in
hand
to
robbe
them
,
and
to
drawe
from
them
their
substance
:
for
whosoeuer
yeeldeth
not
to
euerie
of
these
demands
,
is
presentlie
an
heretike
.
The
best
houses
in
the
Towne
they
take
violently
from
the
true
owners
,
and
appropriate
vnto
themselues
,
saying
it
is
meete
that
God
should
first
be
serued
before
man
.
There
is
no
one
daie
but
the
poore
citizens
are
punished
and
pestered
with
one
or
other
of
their
orders
of
Friers
,
Monkes
,
Mendicants
,
Capuchines
,
Candles
,
and
monie
towardes
the
reparation
of
their
Churches
,
and
which
they
must
not
bee
denied
,
vnlesse
you
will
bee
presently
accused
for
an
heretike
.
But
the
best
is
,
to
see
how
busie
and
diligent
they
are
when
they
heare
of
a
wealthie
man
that
lyeth
sicke
,
and
is
in
danger
of
death
▪
This
is
their
chiefest
haruest
and
most
optima
praeda
:
then
they
commend
vnto
him
the
pouertie
of
their
cloister
,
and
the
merite
that
hee
shoulde
gaine
,
as
beeing
for
euer
to
be
remembred
in
theyr
masses
,
as
one
of
theyr
benefactors
:
the
Iesuits
and
Cordelleres
are
at
this
present
in
processe
in
Spaine
about
this
matter
of
visitation
of
sicke
men
,
in
articulo
mortis
.
The
Iesuites
saie
that
it
appertaines
vnto
them
,
because
theyr
profession
is
actiue
,
and
alwaies
stirring
among
the
flocke
,
and
to
doo
good
in
the
worlde
abroade
,
whereas
that
of
the
Cordelleres
is
contemplatiue
,
and
so
by
consequence
,
most
decent
that
they
shoulde
containe
themselues
within
theyr
cloysters
.
The
Cordelleres
on
the
other
side
replie
,
that
theyr
profession
is
meeknesse
,
innocencie
,
and
pouertie
,
and
to
doo
good
vnto
all
men
.
As
for
the
Iesuites
,
that
they
are
proude
,
ambitious
,
aspiring
,
medlers
in
matters
of
state
,
men
of
great
riches
,
and
couetous
of
more
,
and
therefore
by
no
meanes
to
bee
admitted
to
such
as
lye
at
the
article
of
death
,
The
matter
hath
beene
much
argued
of
,
and
greatly
debated
in
Spaine
,
and
besides
,
the
Iesuites
haue
openly
inueighed
agaynst
them
in
the
publyke
schooles
of
Louaine
:
yet
notwithstanding
how
euer
the
crie
goeth
agaynst
them
,
they
holde
theyr
owne
.
But
this
by
the
waie
,
seeing
it
comes
so
well
to
our
purpose
,
I
cannot
choose
but
tell
you
a
pretie
ieast
that
happened
this
last
Summer
in
these
partes
.
A
Marchant
of
Antwarpe
,
whose
name
was
Hamiel
,
beeing
sicke
of
a
consumption
or
feauer
ethike
,
the
Iesuites
knowing
him
to
bee
a
man
of
great
possessions
,
and
without
children
,
presentlye
repayred
vnto
him
vnder
colour
of
spirituall
consolation
,
laying
before
him
the
vanitie
of
this
lyfe
,
and
the
certaintie
of
the
worlde
to
come
:
wyth
sundrie
other
perswasions
,
as
of
all
men
lyuing
they
haue
their
tongues
most
at
will
,
withall
,
commending
vnto
him
their
order
,
as
of
all
other
the
most
meritorious
,
perfect
,
and
acceptable
to
God
,
and
to
which
our
holye
father
the
Pope
and
his
predecessors
haue
granted
more
indulgences
than
to
anie
other
order
whatsoeuer
:
they
brought
the
poore
man
,
being
of
himselfe
simple
,
into
their
societie
,
thinking
that
there
was
no
other
waie
to
bee
saued
,
and
withall
,
before
hand
infeoffed
their
college
with
his
land
,
which
was
two
hundred
pound
a
yeere
,
giuing
them
besides
,
much
goods
and
riche
moueables
,
and
when
he
had
so
done
,
died
within
three
moneths
after
the
same
:
his
next
heires
,
by
counsell
of
their
friends
,
put
the
Iesuites
in
sute
,
agaynst
which
,
though
they
opposed
themselues
withall
vehemencie
,
yet
to
their
great
shame
and
reprehension
,
sentence
was
giuen
agaynst
them
.
Notwithstanding
they
woulde
not
giue
ouer
,
but
by
the
meanes
,
aid
,
and
support
of
president
Pameley
,
who
is
one
of
theyr
best
children
,
they
appealed
from
thence
to
the
councell
of
Brussels
,
getting
the
cause
after
sentence
giuen
to
bee
remooued
,
a
thing
vnusuall
or
scarcely
euer
heard
off
before
,
as
yet
there
the
processe
hangeth
,
by
hooke
or
by
crooke
it
is
thought
they
will
haue
it
in
the
ende
.
Another
time
a
riche
and
wealthie
Marchaunt
of
Antwarp
,
but
one
in
that
point
whose
deuotion
and
scrupulocitie
ouer-went
his
wisdome
,
comming
to
them
in
confession
,
and
telling
them
of
some
vniust
gaine
with
which
he
felt
his
conscience
touched
,
they
presently
with
sundrie
terrifieng
speeches
,
tolde
him
that
hee
was
in
the
state
of
damnation
,
out
of
which
hee
coulde
not
bee
deliuered
,
vntyll
such
time
as
hee
had
made
restitution
as
well
of
that
confessed
,
as
of
all
other
monie
and
goods
that
hee
had
by
vsurie
vnlawfully
gotten
,
laying
before
him
,
Quod
non
dimittitur
peccatum
nisi
restituatur
oblatum
:
with
sundrie
other
such
sentences
,
of
which
they
had
store
:
in
fine
,
they
put
the
poore
man
into
such
feare
of
conscience
,
that
he
yelded
to
make
restitution
,
if
so
the
same
might
bee
done
without
his
vndooing
,
discredite
,
or
shame
.
Whereupon
to
comfort
him
againe
,
but
in
deede
fearing
least
that
if
they
dealt
too
rigorouslie
with
him
they
shoulde
get
nothing
,
they
tolde
him
,
that
if
in
stead
of
all
such
interest
and
iniuries
,
with
which
hee
felte
his
conscience
burdened
,
hee
would
onely
be
content
to
deliuer
vnto
them
some
such
summe
of
monie
,
as
without
his
vndooing
,
he
thought
conueniently
he
might
spare
,
they
woulde
take
it
vppon
their
soules
to
see
the
said
summe
imployed
vpon
good
,
vertuous
,
and
charitable
vses
,
to
the
greater
benefite
and
merite
of
his
soule
,
and
as
a
thing
more
acceptable
to
God
,
and
lesse
scandelous
to
the
world
than
if
he
should
make
restitution
to
whome
it
appertained
,
and
that
were
by
that
his
vsurie
interessed
.
Whereupon
the
Marchant
beeing
well
satisfied
in
conscience
,
gaue
them
the
monie
,
and
they
him
their
absolution
.
But
I
will
holde
you
no
longer
with
the
recitall
of
these
things
,
of
which
,
if
I
would
intreate
,
theyr
impietie
would
yeeld
mee
too
much
matter
.
My
principall
meaning
and
intention
onely
,
beeing
to
let
you
see
,
that
vnder
heauen
there
is
no
state
so
wickedly
,
impiously
,
and
deuouringly
gouerned
in
matter
of
religion
and
conscience
,
as
these
here
vnder
the
Spaniard
.
I
thinke
the
recitall
of
their
miseries
woulde
rather
breede
in
you
admiration
than
beleefe
,
so
farre
doth
the
same
exceed
the
compasse
of
all
other
tyrannies
that
euer
were
vsed
,
there
being
no
calamitie
in
the
worlde
of
which
they
haue
not
tasted
of
.
Their
noble
men
&
rulers
,
in
whose
vertue
and
courage
consisted
their
chiefest
refuge
in
times
past
,
when
they
were
wronged
and
tyrannized
,
haue
bene
murthered
,
strangled
,
poysoned
,
and
slaine
by
the
bloudie
ministers
of
theyr
cruell
king
:
they
are
taxed
in
great
summes
,
and
numbers
of
men
sent
violently
into
France
and
forren
wars
,
and
the
relikes
of
their
nobilitie
forced
to
go
wyth
them
in
person
,
to
their
apparant
slaughter
,
leauing
in
the
meane
time
theyr
countries
in
praie
to
the
enemie
,
theyr
villages
flaming
in
fire
,
&
theyr
towns
battered
about
theyr
eares
with
the
Cannon
,
theyr
priuiledges
are
by
wrong
and
tyrannie
taken
from
them
,
their
cities
that
sometimes
striued
with
oppulencie
and
glorie
with
the
goodliest
and
greatest
of
the
world
,
are
gouerned
by
base
and
barbarous
Spaniardes
,
bridled
with
theyr
garrisons
and
castles
,
and
forraged
and
spoiled
by
them
,
at
such
time
as
their
payment
faileth
.
No
face
of
iustice
in
theyr
common-wealth
,
but
the
same
is
pliable
to
the
wil
of
such
strangers
as
are
gouernors
of
their
towns
,
&
captaines
of
their
castles
,
theyr
goodly
hauens
,
harbouring
sometimes
with
innumerable
shippes
laden
with
marchandise
from
all
partes
of
the
world
,
are
now
frequented
euen
of
the
fisher-boates
,
their
trafficke
ceased
,
and
theyr
townes
almost
desarte
:
in
the
most
of
which
,
of
tenne
houses
together
,
there
are
scarse
three
inhabited
,
theyr
villages
abroade
burned
and
ouergrowen
with
bushes
,
their
goodlye
meddowes
and
fruitefull
pastures
drowned
many
miles
wide
and
longe
,
by
letting
in
of
sluses
,
and
cutting
downe
ditches
.
The
mansion
houses
and
castelles
of
theyr
Nobilitie
abused
and
throwen
downe
,
they
errable
grounde
waste
and
vntilled
,
insomuch
that
there
a
man
maye
haue
as
much
lande
as
hee
will
,
and
thankes
withall
,
for
the
onely
manuring
thereof
.
As
for
the
poore
labouring
people
of
the
countrie
,
for
the
most
parte
they
are
al
starued
and
consumed
with
hunger
,
of
which
disease
,
I
my selfe
haue
knowen
two
thousand
die
in
one
summer
,
so
that
you
may
ride
in
some
places
an
hundred
miles
without
seeing
of
a
man
,
woman
,
or
childe
,
vnlesse
it
be
some
poore
silly
soule
that
commeth
creeping
out
of
the
woodes
hunger
starued
,
more
lyke
confusitated
ghostes
,
than
a
lyuing
christian
creature
.
And
yet
all
these
in
a
maner
happier
,
because
they
are
at
an
ende
of
theyr
miseries
,
than
such
as
doo
liue
within
the
inhabited
places
of
the
countrie
,
as
Cempine
and
the
land
of
Wast
:
and
these
of
all
the
people
in
the
worlde
I
take
to
be
the
most
wretchedst
.
Ouer
euerie
village
of
these
are
appointed
certain
horsemen
,
to
whom
they
are
all
to
paie
monethly
contribution
,
some
ten
poundes
,
some
twentie
,
and
some
thirtie
,
some
more
and
some
lesse
,
I
knew
one
village
that
paide
an
hundred
poundes
euerie
moneth
,
called
Turnolt
:
but
they
paide
it
so
long
,
till
all
the
dwellers
ranne
awaie
,
and
haue
now
in
a
manner
left
it
void
of
inhabitauntes
.
Ouer
this
village
and
the
whole
Countrie
is
appointed
a
Comissarie
called
Sygonio
,
for
the
payment
of
theyr
contributions
,
of
all
tyrantes
liuing
the
most
cruellest
,
and
of
least
conscience
.
Who
if
they
faile
,
and
doo
not
bring
in
theyr
moneie
at
the
last
daie
of
the
moneth
,
hee
sendes
foorth
troupes
of
horse-men
to
take
the
best
of
them
prisoners
,
and
withall
,
to
driue
home
to
their
quarters
or
garrisons
such
sheepe
,
oxen
,
or
cattell
whatsoeuer
as
they
finde
in
those
villages
,
which
hee
causeth
,
if
the
money
followe
not
within
fiue
or
sixe
daies
at
the
furthest
,
to
be
sold
at
the
drum
or
Trumpet
,
and
with●●●
forceth
them
to
paie
a
great
fine
,
the
one
halfe
〈◊〉
●hich
he
retayneth
to
himselfe
,
and
the
other
to
the
souldiers
,
for
their
out-roades
and
forberance
of
the
monie
.
But
the
miserie
of
these
poore
people
endeth
not
here
,
for
besides
all
this
,
they
are
forced
many
times
to
lodge
soldiers
in
their
houses
,
as
they
march
along
the
countrie
vpon
seruice
,
at
which
time
it
is
incredible
what
outrages
they
receiue
,
theyr
cattell
killed
,
their
corne
threshed
out
and
giuen
to
horse
,
their
chests
broken
vp
,
their
goods
euen
to
the
very
sheetes
and
tikes
of
beds
,
stollen
and
carried
awaie
by
the
soldiers
when
they
march
,
themselues
beaten
,
and
their
wiues
and
their
daughters
abused
:
and
in
fine
,
what
else
is
to
the
nature
of
man
grieuous
and
intollerable
,
they
are
constrained
to
indure
.
Neither
is
the
condition
of
the
poore
citizens
or
townes-men
any
better
,
who
being
forced
to
receiue
garrison
,
and
to
lodge
souldiers
in
their
houses
,
imparting
to
them
the
best
chambers
and
commodities
of
the
same
,
neuer
hearing
from
them
anie
other
word
,
especiallie
if
they
please
not
them
in
all
their
exhorbitant
demands
,
than
Perhamengo
,
Lutherano
,
Borchio
,
&c.
Yet
besides
,
they
are
daylye
wearyed
out
with
continuall
exactions
and
taxations
,
as
the
hundreth
pennie
,
the
tenth
pennie
,
and
once
a
yeere
without
faile
,
the
fifthly
pennie
of
all
their
goods
and
landes
,
besides
infinite
other
pillages
and
gatherings
towardes
the
making
of
rampires
,
bulwarkes
,
ballasadowes
,
countercerpes
,
and
the
reparation
of
theyr
wals
,
and
to
giuing
of
munition
,
bread
,
beere
,
and
cheese
,
to
such
souldyers
as
shall
passe
by
theyr
townes
distressed
of
victualles
,
with
infinite
such
like
.
I
haue
knowen
(
I
speake
it
of
my
faith
)
poore
people
of
Antwarpe
forced
to
sell
their
beddes
they
lie
vppon
,
to
satisfie
their
tyrannous
exactions
,
which
if
they
should
not
doo
,
execution
of
their
goods
,
attachment
of
their
persons
,
shoulde
presentlye
followe
.
But
which
is
most
beyond
reason
,
whereas
within
the
townes
the
most
part
of
their
houses
are
vacant
and
vnhired
,
yet
the
owners
of
them
are
taxed
according
to
the
value
in
which
they
were
wont
to
bee
hired
.
Insomuch
,
that
in
Antwarpe
and
other
townes
,
it
is
a
matter
verie
vsuall
for
men
to
disclaime
,
and
quit
their
owne
houses
,
thereby
to
be
exempted
of
such
payment
as
otherwise
by
reason
of
them
they
are
charged
with
,
and
that
they
do
iurisdicially
before
the
magistrate
,
at
which
time
the
Ainan
entereth
in
,
and
ceaizeth
vpon
them
to
the
kings
vse
.
Besides
,
when
as
sundrie
Gentlemen
and
other
the
inhabitants
of
this
countrie
,
hauing
certaine
annuall
rents
issuing
out
and
charged
vpon
the
kings
demaines
in
the
Dutchie
of
Brabant
,
at
least
to
the
yeerelye
value
of
ten
thousand
poundes
,
some
of
the
which
rents
haue
bene
by
themselues
bought
of
the
states
generall
,
some
left
vnto
them
by
their
parents
and
predecessours
.
The
king
vniustlye
and
by
tyrannie
disanulling
the
said
rents
,
hath
,
and
doth
,
without
forme
of
iustice
,
take
into
his
owne
hands
the
sayd
demains
,
appropriating
the
vse
,
commoditie
,
and
reuenue
thereof
to
the
maintenance
of
his
troupes
of
horse
men
.
But
what
shall
I
trouble
you
anie
longer
with
recounting
vnto
you
the
assize
,
impositions
,
taxes
,
extortions
,
pillages
,
and
heauie
intollerable
burthens
laid
vpon
this
afflicted
poore
people
,
by
their
vniust
and
cruell
king
.
Compare
now
(
I
praie
you
)
heerewith
,
your
estate
of
gouernment
at
home
,
and
tell
mee
which
of
them
two
you
thinke
to
bee
most
fortunate
.
Doth
her
MAIESTY
deale
in
this
order
with
you
,
whose
gouernment
you
so
much
mislike
?
Oh
God
,
how
can
you
be
so
peruerse
,
seeing
the
blessednesse
wherein
shee
maintaines
you
,
as
not
to
acknowledge
the
same
?
How
gentle
are
the
helpes
and
subsidies
which
she
exacteth
of
you
,
without
the
vndooing
or
hinderance
of
anie
man
of
whom
they
are
exacted
?
And
on
the
otherside
,
how
profusely
spendeth
shee
her
owne
treasure
for
the
maintenance
of
your
wiues
,
and
children
,
and
parents
,
in
repose
,
iustice
and
securitie
.
Oh
praie
to
God
for
her
long
life
and
prosperous
estate
,
for
in
her
consisteth
the
tipe
of
your
felicitie
!
But
nowe
to
the
other
pointe
of
your
mislike
.
Whereas
the
aduersarie
hath
beaten
into
your
heads
,
that
the
state
standes
daungerous
,
as
beeing
farre
to
feeble
and
not
sufficient
to
withstande
and
resist
so
mightie
and
opposed
an
enemie
as
is
the
king
of
Spaine
,
terrifieng
with
millions
of
gold
and
innumerable
nations
ouer
whome
hee
commandeth
,
I
hope
by
the
cleere
and
euident
reasons
I
shal
shew
you
,
to
make
you
vnderstand
that
the
same
of
him
is
farre
greater
than
his
force
,
and
that
there
is
no
prince
this
daie
in
the
world
whose
estate
standeth
more
tickle
and
readie
to
ruine
than
his
,
and
that
there
is
no
cause
why
we
should
feare
him
,
but
many
why
he
should
feare
vs
,
First
,
that
hee
is
the
most
mightie
and
oppulent
prince
of
Europe
,
I
doo
not
denie
,
if
hee
had
vsed
moderation
in
his
greatnesse
,
and
acknowledged
the
benefites
which
God
hath
bestowed
vpon
him
with
thankfulnesse
.
But
such
is
the
state
whereunto
his
ambitious
aspiring
hath
at
this
present
brought
him
,
or
rather
the
reuengefull
hande
of
God
which
hangeth
ouer
his
head
for
his
horrible
tyrannies
and
odious
offences
,
especiallye
for
his
wicked
pariacide
and
murther
committed
vppon
the
person
of
his
wife
,
his
sonne
,
and
sundrie
others
of
his
best
and
truest
subiects
:
that
he
is
in
the
middest
of
these
his
riches
,
indigent
,
poore
,
and
indebted
,
vnable
to
giue
satisfaction
to
such
souldiers
as
he
maintaineth
,
to
which
end
he
is
forced
to
extort
vpon
his
poore
subiectes
,
and
tyranize
ouer
them
.
Of
this
his
indigency
and
beggerie
,
we
see
euerie
daie
experience
here
before
our
eies
,
his
owne
naturall
subiects
,
the
Spaniards
,
being
the
best
disciplined
souldiers
he
hath
,
and
of
whom
he
maketh
greatest
account
,
are
forced
for
want
of
their
paiment
,
which
is
now
three
yeres
behind
,
to
cease
his
townes
and
artillery
,
to
contemne
his
commandements
and
proclamations
,
&
finally
,
to
bend
their
armes
&
display
their
Ensignes
vpon
the
wals
against
the
Duke
.
To
remedie
which
mutinie
,
there
was
post
vpon
post
sent
into
Spaine
,
yet
in
seuen
moneths
there
could
no
monie
be
found
.
Notwithstanding
many
and
most
important
detriments
,
he
receiued
by
occasion
of
this
mutinie
,
as
the
losse
of
Breda
,
the
retardaunce
of
the
Frenche
succours
,
the
danger
of
Numigen
,
&c.
whereas
the
whole
summe
they
demaunded
was
not
much
aboue
fifteene
thousand
.
Besides
,
doo
but
looke
into
the
manner
of
his
proceedings
in
these
Low
countries
with
his
souldiers
,
(
of
which
because
I
haue
best
experience
I
will
chieflie
speake
)
and
you
shall
finde
nothing
in
the
world
more
beggerly
and
indigent
.
Neither
(
as
I
heare
)
is
it
better
in
his
other
prouinces
,
which
verily
I
beleeue
,
seeing
of
all
others
it
importeth
him
to
vse
them
best
,
as
being
his
eldest
,
perfectest
in
discipline
,
and
best
experienced
troupes
,
and
in
fine
,
those
vnto
whom
he
chiefliest
reposeth
,
as
the
onely
vpholders
and
maintaynance
of
him
in
his
tyrannie
.
Yet
was
there
neuer
in
the
worlde
,
I
dare
vndertake
,
king
nor
prince
,
how
base
,
banquerout
,
or
needie
so
euer
,
in
whose
seruice
so
many
braue
souldiers
haue
died
of
hunger
,
or
that
haue
vsed
such
coosning
trickes
&
shifts
to
stoppe
necessities
,
and
to
deceiue
his
souldiers
as
he
hath
done
.
First
,
the
countrie
not
beeing
yet
fully
consumed
,
wasted
,
and
destroyed
,
he
authorized
his
soldiers
to
spoyle
and
steale
the
goods
and
cattell
of
the
poore
pesants
,
forcing
them
to
raunsome
theyr
houses
from
fire
,
and
their
persons
from
murther
,
by
which
meanes
the
souldiers
lingered
in
such
sort
,
that
I
haue
knowen
them
remaine
three
yeres
together
without
one
moneths
paie
.
But
afterward
Antwarpe
being
rendered
,
and
by
reason
of
the
generall
deuastation
of
the
countrie
,
the
souldiers
failing
to
finde
their
wonted
reliefe
and
praie
,
grewe
into
so
great
and
miserable
extremitie
,
that
it
was
a
great
matter
to
finde
twentie
souldiers
vnder
anie
Ensigne
.
The
Spaniardes
mutined
vpon
the
Staunda
,
whome
they
founde
meanes
to
appease
wyth
some
few
moneths
payment
.
The
Wallounds
mutined
in
Laiskine
,
Hou●ke
,
and
the
lande
of
the
Wast
,
the
Almaines
went
by
hundreds
begging
vp
and
downe
the
streets
of
Antwarpe
bare
legged
and
bare
footed
,
or
in
manner
naked
,
the
Italians
starued
in
their
quarters
,
and
diuerse
of
them
being
in
garison
in
Breda
,
ranne
thence
to
Huisd●n
,
&
to
other
towns
of
the
enemie
.
To
remedie
all
which
inconueniences
,
he
found
meanes
to
deale
with
the
Italian
Bakers
of
Antwarpe
for
cloth
and
silke
,
as
Northerne
kersies
,
pack
clothes
,
baies
,
refuse
Italian
silkes
,
taking
vp
the
same
vpon
excessiue
interest
yeerely
to
a
certaine
summe
:
for
receit
of
which
,
and
deliuerie
out
againe
,
he
appointed
a
Spaniard
,
one
Christopher
Cras●
,
a
man
of
most
wicked
conscience
,
to
be
his
Treasurer
.
Then
he
began
to
grant
paiments
to
the
whole
campe
,
horse
and
foot
,
and
vnto
such
Gentlemen
and
pensioners
as
were
in
great
extremitie
,
and
had
ben
long
sutors
:
which
they
hauing
receiued
,
were
forced
for
want
of
monie
presently
to
make
sale
thereof
for
the
thirde
of
that
value
in
which
they
receiued
it
:
so
that
a
souldier
hauing
foureteene
shillings
a
moneths
paie
,
receiued
only
foure
shillings
and
sixe
pence
.
And
he
hath
his
factors
and
broakers
abroad
to
buy
those
sayd
clothes
and
silkes
again
,
which
he
deliuereth
presently
out
of
the
first
price
to
the
next
that
comes
,
and
so
styll
foorth
deliuering
and
buying
the
same
againe
for
the
third
parte
of
the
price
,
insomuch
that
with
an
hundred
pounds
he
maketh
ten
thousand
poundes
in
a
yeere
,
and
yet
sometimes
he
maketh
them
stay
foure
or
fiue
moneths
before
he
will
deliuer
them
cloth
,
or
anie
contentment
at
all
.
And
sometimes
hee
neuer
troubleth
himselfe
with
the
deliuerie
of
the
cloth
,
but
causeth
their
assignation
to
be
boght
,
as
now
at
this
instant
sir
William
Standley
before
his
departure
had
obtained
a
Liberanc●
for
two
moneths
for
his
Regiment
,
amounting
to
an
hundred
and
fiftie
poundes
,
the
payment
thereof
hath
bene
deferred
till
this
present
,
and
is
nowe
solde
in
Antwarpe
to
one
of
his
factors
for
three
score
poundes
,
and
yet
hee
that
solde
it
made
a
good
bargaine
.
I
haue
knowen
diuerse
that
haue
solde
diuerse
such
Liberancas
for
thirtie
poundes
,
and
eight
and
twentie
pounds
in
the
hundred
.
Yet
this
payment
how
bad
so
euer
hath
somewhat
con●ented
the
souldyers
foure
or
fiue
yeeres
,
rather
hauing
that
than
nothing
.
But
now
also
the
same
is
dryed
vp
and
come
to
nothing
.
Paymentes
haue
bene
this
halfe
yeere
verie
scarse
and
with
much
difficultie
,
for
the
marchants
haue
at
this
instant
vtterly
refused
to
furnish
him
with
anie
more
wares
,
both
because
the
same
wherein
he
standeth
alreadie
indebted
vnto
them
amounteth
to
an
excessiue
matter
,
as
also
he
beginneth
to
wrangle
with
them
,
aboute
the
interest
of
which
hee
craueth
moderation
:
seeing
besides
before
their
eies
so
many
presidents
of
men
ruined
,
vndone
,
and
dishonored
,
such
as
he
hath
delt
withall
,
of
which
,
what
more
apparaunt
example
maye
there
be
than
that
of
S.
Siueres
a
Portugal
marchant
,
and
one
of
the
chifest
&
best
respected
marchant
of
Antwarpe
,
both
for
the
wealth
and
credit
which
he
possessed
,
as
also
for
the
securitie
and
vprightnesse
which
he
handled
:
the
Duke
of
Parma
reducted
of
Antwarpe
,
the
passage
of
the
riuer
shut
vp
,
and
the
countries
and
townes
afflicted
with
great
dearth
&
scarcitie
of
corn
,
at
which
time
rie
was
at
44.
S.
sterling
the
virendell
in
Antwarpe
,
&
withall
being
daily
cried
vpon
by
the
generall
of
Vibres
for
munition
&
come
to
victual
the
camp
,
the
old
store
being
cleane
consumed
:
knewe
no
other
meanes
than
to
deale
earnestly
with
this
S.
Siueres
,
and
other
marchants
that
had
trade
with
Hanborough
,
Lubeck
,
and
the
Easterlings
,
which
countries
were
replenished
with
corne
,
to
make
some
aduenture
thether
for
the
releefe
of
the
countrie
:
he
amongst
the
rest
shewed
not
himselfe
vnwilling
to
enter
into
an
action
so
charitable
and
vertuous
,
if
so
be
his
pains
might
be
requited
,
and
hee
sufficiently
warranted
and
kept
free
from
such
danger
as
might
insue
,
either
by
peril
of
sea
,
taking
of
the
enemies
,
or
losse
in
the
same
:
when
it
came
to
this
end
,
the
duke
sent
into
Spaine
,
and
procured
him
the
kings
Letters
of
assurance
in
the
most
ample
manner
possible
,
incouraging
him
with
much
thanks
and
many
promises
to
proceed
,
which
hee
did
with
the
aduenture
of
most
part
of
his
credite
and
goods
,
insomuch
,
that
hee
laded
three
shippes
,
of
which
one
was
scattered
by
tempest
,
and
cast
awaie
vpon
the
coast
of
Scotlande
,
the
other
two
came
safely
home
to
Callice
,
but
at
that
time
such
was
either
the
ill
luck
of
him
,
or
the
good
lucke
of
the
countrie
,
that
vpon
a
new
plentie
haruest
which
they
had
,
corne
was
abated
from
fortie
foure
shillinges
the
Virendell
,
to
sixe
shillinges
,
at
which
price
the
Duke
,
by
the
kings
appointment
,
bought
his
prouision
and
munition
,
vtterlye
refusing
that
of
Syueres
,
so
that
hee
was
faine
,
whilest
he
made
his
sute
to
the
king
,
to
keepe
the
same
so
long
vpon
his
owne
hands
,
that
it
venowed
and
waxed
mustie
,
in
such
sorte
,
that
he
was
faine
to
throw
the
greatest
parte
awaie
,
without
euer
to
this
daie
beeing
able
to
receiue
of
the
king
one
pennie
of
recompence
,
insomuch
that
hee
was
forced
,
to
the
wonderfull
griefe
,
shame
and
confusion
of
him
,
his
wife
,
his
children
and
friends
,
hauing
before
time
liued
in
the
greatest
honour
and
magnificence
of
anie
Marchant
in
the
Towne
,
to
breake
banquerout
,
and
is
at
this
present
suing
to
the
Duke
,
and
the
priuie
Councell
at
Brussels
,
for
a
protection
to
keepe
his
bodie
from
attachment
.
These
are
the
rewardes
and
recompence
that
this
mightie
Monarch
giueth
to
those
that
imploie
their
indeuours
in
his
seruice
.
Of
which
if
you
doo
desire
to
haue
better
experience
,
looke
but
into
the
office
of
his
Treasurer
at
Brussels
,
and
there
you
shal
dayly
and
hourely
see
a
token
sufficient
of
his
oppulencie
and
great
magnificencie
,
there
shall
you
finde
a
miserable
troupe
of
sutours
,
with
assignations
for
monie
,
graunted
them
by
the
Duke
,
some
of
which
haue
lost
a
legge
or
an
arme
,
eyther
thorough
age
or
infirmitie
,
that
hath
gotten
their
Lisence
and
Pasport
to
depart
into
theyr
Countries
,
some
pretending
one
cause
and
some
another
,
but
no
one
man
able
in
two
yeeres
folowing
to
get
one
pennie
:
so
that
there
is
no
yeere
but
a
greate
number
of
them
die
in
the
pursuite
for
hunger
,
yea
,
and
some
of
them
euen
at
his
gates
.
Of
my
sauation
I
speake
it
,
I
haue
knowen
some
poore
people
,
that
for
the
some
of
sixe
poundes
haue
followed
him
three
yeeres
:
when
eyther
hee
goeth
out
or
commeth
into
his
house
,
hee
is
faine
to
goe
thorough
gardens
and
buy-wayes
,
to
deceiue
his
poore
sutors
,
who
otherwise
assayed
him
,
though
in
vaine
,
with
such
ruthfull
cryes
,
that
it
would
pearse
anie
mans
heart
to
heare
them
.
Which
beggerlynesse
and
miserie
,
sundrie
worthie
souldiers
of
straunge
nations
seeing
,
especially
the
base
and
vnworthie
vsage
which
they
themselues
receiued
,
haue
abandoned
that
banquerout
seruice
,
as
Iohn
Baptista
de
Monte
,
and
Camillo
de
Monte
,
two
warlike
Captaines
,
but
now
retained
vnder
two
mightie
States
,
the
one
Generall
to
the
Duke
of
Florence
,
the
other
to
the
Venetians
,
who
both
lie
in
waite
to
crie
quittance
with
him
,
and
by
Gods
grace
shall
one
daie
haue
meanes
to
accomplish
their
desire
.
Then
sir
Martine
Skinke
,
of
whose
iust
discontentment
and
valerous
reuenge
,
you
your selues
in
England
are
witnesse
.
Where
are
then
the
mountains
of
treasure
that
the
mightie
king
possesseth
?
Or
if
yee
saie
he
spareth
them
to
some
other
end
,
I
praie
you
tell
me
to
what
,
and
when
he
will
vse
them
?
If
not
now
the
danger
of
the
losse
of
his
countrie
,
fame
,
&
religion
,
and
the
greatnesse
of
the
causes
hee
hath
vndertaken
and
considered
.
No
,
no
,
it
is
pure
want
&
extreame
indigences
that
forceth
him
to
deale
so
,
though
he
be
rich
,
yet
the
greatnesse
of
the
cause
he
is
entered
into
,
doth
farre
exceede
the
meanes
hee
hath
to
maintaine
the
same
.
Vppon
the
comming
downe
of
this
last
fleete
hee
set
vp
his
rest
,
and
lost
it
,
not
onelie
his
owne
,
but
that
also
of
his
friendes
,
the
pope
,
the
Duke
of
Sauoy
,
the
Geneoises
,
&c.
which
set
him
into
such
arrerages
,
that
I
thinke
hee
wyll
not
easily
come
out
of
them
.
As
for
the
treasure
of
his
Indians
,
where
in
deede
consisteth
the
verie
marrowe
,
strength
,
and
substance
of
all
his
puissance
,
I
confesse
the
same
to
bee
greate
,
yet
his
charges
considered
,
making
an
estimate
betweene
the
one
and
the
other
,
it
can
no
waie
bee
able
to
aunswere
and
counteruayle
them
.
And
yet
the
same
hath
beene
reasonable
well
impayred
also
,
since
such
time
as
sir
Fraunces
Drake
and
other
of
your
worthie
English
captaines
by
sea
,
haue
begunne
to
firke
him
in
those
.
For
whereas
before
hee
was
woont
vsually
to
waite
his
Indyan
fleete
home-warde
with
a
Gallyasse
or
two
,
onelye
theyr
returne
accustomed
to
bee
euerie
sixe
moneths
,
hee
is
nowe
forced
to
mayntayne
a
great
and
mightie
Nauie
of
many
shippes
and
gallyes
,
to
his
inestimable
and
continuall
charges
.
Notwithstanding
all
which
,
his
returne
is
seldome
aboue
once
a
yeere
,
and
that
oftentimes
minglingly
as
may
bee
,
and
yet
they
are
sometimes
met
withall
,
some
of
them
scattered
,
some
sunke
,
and
some
of
them
also
taken
by
our
Englyshe
shippes
.
If
you
will
knowe
what
these
his
great
charges
are
,
on
which
hee
is
inforced
to
imploye
them
.
First
,
consider
that
he
scarcely
holdeth
anie
countrie
in
which
hee
is
not
constrayned
to
holde
garrisons
of
souldyers
.
As
for
these
Lowe
countries
,
I
knowe
it
vppon
good
and
assured
grounds
,
there
hath
beene
no
yeere
these
twentie
yeeres
,
but
they
haue
cost
him
one
with
another
two
millyons
and
more
yeerely
aboue
the
reuenewe
and
other
commodities
receyued
thereout
,
and
yet
howe
beggerlie
his
souldyers
are
vsed
,
you
haue
heard
before
.
The
rest
,
for
Naples
,
Cicilia
,
Portugall
maiorque
,
minorque
,
the
frontires
of
Arragon
and
Nauarre
,
and
Lombardie
;
hee
is
fayne
to
bee
at
charge
of
many
strong
and
mightie
garrisons
by
lande
,
and
in
the
most
of
them
manye
Gallyes
or
other
shipping
in
the
Hauens
,
and
all
along
the
Sea-coasts
,
none
of
which
hee
can
for
his
life
diminish
,
for
his
gouerment
is
so
hatefull
,
that
none
of
these
prouinces
are
his
anie
longer
than
hee
hath
their
heades
in
the
bridle
.
And
besides
,
his
prouinces
stande
so
seuered
and
disunited
,
that
the
transporting
of
his
Nauie
from
one
to
another
is
infinite
chargeable
vnto
him
,
insomuch
that
I
haue
heard
some
of
his
Commissioners
here
sweare
,
that
there
is
no
crowne
of
his
that
commeth
from
Spaine
into
these
Countries
by
lande
,
but
standeth
them
in
fiue
roialles
,
so
infinite
is
the
charge
of
carriages
,
conuoyes
,
and
commissaries
,
to
deliuer
and
receiue
the
same
.
Besides
all
this
,
hee
disburseth
yeerely
mightie
summes
of
monie
to
the
Presian
,
to
the
end
to
keep
the
Turke
occupied
,
of
whome
hee
standeth
mightily
in
feare
:
and
truely
he
hath
reason
,
if
her
Maiestie
would
condescend
to
such
conditions
as
haue
beene
by
this
Turke
to
her
proposed
.
But
she
lyke
a
christian
princesse
,
how
greatly
so
euer
to
her
aduantage
the
same
might
be
,
will
not
doo
anie
thing
whereby
Christianine
might
heereafter
seeme
to
receiue
anie
detriment
.
As
for
Polonia
,
the
same
hath
beene
incredible
chargeable
vnto
him
,
as
well
for
the
mightie
bribes
bestowed
vpon
the
nobles
of
the
countrie
,
as
also
the
charges
of
a
great
armie
of
Rewtiers
:
hee
sent
his
kinsman
Maximilian
of
Austria
,
what
by
force
and
what
by
helpe
of
the
parte
which
he
had
gained
,
&
with
his
treasures
,
thought
to
inuest
him
in
the
kingdome
.
The
successe
of
which
enterprise
I
wold
not
write
,
being
to
the
whole
world
notorious
and
knowen
.
In
the
consistorie
of
Rome
hee
is
faine
to
entertaine
a
great
number
of
those
hungrie
Cardidinals
in
pension
and
fee
,
therby
to
gaine
their
voices
when
need
requireth
,
which
liberalitie
of
his
he
cannot
by
anie
meanes
withdrawe
,
for
in
so
dooing
he
should
be
assured
to
haue
them
his
enemies
,
and
contrarie
to
his
proceedings
.
Lastly
,
for
conclusion
,
he
maketh
at
this
instant
open
warres
with
France
,
England
,
and
the
Lowe
countries
:
What
deme
you
then
hereof
?
Hath
he
not
(
trow
you
)
vent
for
his
treasures
?
His
father
was
a
better
souldier
and
a
greater
man
of
warre
than
he
is
,
and
as
mightie
a
prince
euerie
deale
(
his
Portugall
Indians
only
excepted
)
in
place
of
which
he
quietly
inioyed
these
his
Lowe
countries
,
which
in
respect
of
their
great
oppulencie
,
abundance
of
riches
,
&
conuenientnes
of
scituation
,
were
to
them
accounted
nothing
inferior
.
And
yet
he
neuer
dared
attempt
to
make
warres
vpon
France
alone
,
but
he
first
sought
by
all
possible
meanes
to
assure
himselfe
in
friendship
with
England
,
giuing
to
that
end
great
and
mightie
presents
to
Cardinal
Wolsey
,
and
others
of
the
councel
,
that
in
those
daies
were
with
her
Maiesties
father
of
worthie
memorie
K.
Henrie
the
eight
:
whereas
his
sonne
makes
war
with
all
the
world
carelesly
at
once
,
but
the
Italians
haue
a
true
prouerbe
,
Cum
tutto
abracci●nes
iunque
string
.
And
so
I
hope
it
shall
fare
with
him
.
Now
as
touching
those
his
mightie
and
puisant
numbers
of
men
,
which
they
say
he
is
able
to
make
,
I
take
vpon
me
to
know
the
state
of
his
forces
aswel
as
other
,
and
I
herein
of
all
other
men
know
him
to
be
most
needie
and
wanting
.
For
as
for
Spain
,
Naples
,
and
Lombardie
,
of
which
his
only
force
consisteth
,
and
which
are
his
chiefest
store-houses
of
men
,
it
is
sufficiently
knowen
,
that
his
drums
haue
gone
a
whole
yeere
beating
vp
and
downe
,
according
as
their
maner
is
,
to
get
together
six
thousand
men
,
and
those
all
shepheardes
,
hedgebreakers
,
and
such
idle
trewantly
rogues
,
the
most
parte
of
which
he
is
forced
to
put
in
garrison
for
a
yeere
or
two
to
fashion
them
,
before
he
send
them
to
seruice
.
I
saw
about
two
yeres
agone
a
fresh
leuie
that
came
out
of
Pastrauia
,
who
put
them
presently
in
the
castle
of
Antwarp
,
drawing
out
the
olde
garrison
,
the
most
silly
naked
snakes
that
euer
I
sawe
in
my
lyfe
,
such
,
as
in
my
conscience
,
a
man
in
deed
wold
beat
ten
of
them
.
As
for
Germanie
,
out
of
the
which
heeretofore
he
hath
drawen
greate
numbers
,
and
by
theyr
helpe
done
great
matters
before
Mastrig
in
Freisland
and
those
places
,
his
vsage
hath
bene
so
base
and
miserable
vnto
them
,
that
the
old
souldiers
are
all
starued
and
consumed
in
his
seruice
,
whose
calamitie
hath
so
terrified
the
rest
at
home
,
that
no
prince
in
Europe
hath
lesse
credite
to
raise
men
there
than
hee
.
And
though
there
were
no
such
matter
,
yet
they
are
no
waie
bound
vnto
him
more
than
to
an
other
,
theyr
profession
beeing
to
serue
onely
him
that
will
best
paie
them
best
,
and
yet
if
hee
shoulde
raise
anie
of
the
alliaunces
of
her
Maiestie
,
and
the
scituation
of
their
Countrie
considered
,
it
shoulde
be
a
matter
of
great
difficultie
to
ioyne
them
wyth
his
other
troups
.
Where
are
then
his
innumerable
legions
with
which
hee
meanes
to
ouercome
the
world
?
Alliance
he
hath
none
,
vnlesse
it
bee
wyth
the
rebellious
league
of
France
:
of
them
he
can
receiue
no
aide
nor
comfort
,
themselues
being
miserable
and
distressed
,
by
reason
wherof
most
burdenous
vnto
him
,
&
yet
there
is
no
man
liuing
in
the
world
lesse
beholden
vnto
them
than
he
.
For
notwithstanding
all
his
assistance
,
they
woulde
neuer
yeeld
to
receiue
his
forces
into
their
townes
or
fortresses
,
seruing
onely
their
turns
on
him
for
the
present
time
.
As
for
the
pope
and
the
Princes
of
Italye
,
what
fayre
weather
so
euer
they
doo
beare
him
,
he
both
trusteth
them
,
and
they
him
,
and
great
reason
they
haue
so
to
doo
.
And
withall
,
this
malediction
hangeth
vpon
him
,
that
as
hee
is
of
all
forraine
nations
distrusted
,
doubted
,
and
abhorred
,
so
both
he
and
the
very
name
of
a
Spaniard
,
is
most
loathsome
and
hatefull
to
the
rest
of
his
owne
subiectes
.
Insomuch
,
that
in
Millaine
the
young
Gentlemen
haue
a
pastime
by
night
,
which
they
call
Caccia
Marran
,
that
is
,
putting
on
a
visard
on
theyr
face
by
night
,
they
goe
with
theyr
long
rapiers
or
picked
bastinadoes
vnder
they
cloakes
out
in
the
Towne
to
seeke
Spaniardes
in
the
stewes
or
anie
other
place
where
they
thinke
they
are
lykely
to
finde
anie
of
them
,
vnto
whome
they
giue
as
manye
stabbes
and
blowes
that
they
can
laie
vpon
them
,
insomuch
that
the
Spaniards
dare
not
for
their
eares
abide
out
of
the
castle
after
shutting
in
of
the
gates
.
As
for
his
dealing
in
Portugall
,
who
knowes
not
his
cruell
tyranie
,
and
the
hatred
they
beare
him
?
But
now
come
to
her
MAIESTY
,
and
you
shal
find
another
manner
of
state
of
matters
:
her
realme
plentifully
abounding
in
men
of
warlike
disposition
,
of
whom
she
is
loued
&
adored
:
her
warres
are
iust
,
charitable
,
godly
,
&
defensiue
,
for
maintenance
of
which
,
besides
the
trust
that
she
reposeth
in
God
,
who
hath
hetherto
mightily
and
miraculously
defended
her
,
she
is
alied
in
straight
league
,
friendship
&
confederation
with
the
most
victorious
&
christian
king
of
France
,
with
the
kings
of
Denmarke
&
Scotland
,
with
the
Switzers
,
and
with
sundrie
princes
and
states
of
the
Empire
,
al
being
her
neighbors
dominions
,
vnited
with
hers
,
and
thereby
ready
to
assist
,
aid
,
&
succor
one
another
in
all
such
occasions
as
shall
or
may
happen
.
Al
this
then
considered
,
tell
me
,
I
praie
you
,
what
occasion
of
feare
or
misdoubt
you
haue
.
If
you
thinke
the
English
valor
not
to
be
compared
with
that
of
the
Spaniard
,
reade
but
the
Chronicles
,
and
you
shall
finde
how
much
you
are
deceiued
:
you
shall
finde
that
a
smal
armie
of
English-men
,
vnder
the
conduct
of
that
worthie
prince
of
Wales
,
eldest
sonne
to
Edward
the
third
,
passed
in
despight
of
them
thorough
Cauarre
into
Spaine
,
and
there
in
the
middest
and
bowels
of
their
owne
countrie
,
ouerthrew
at
Nadres
their
vsurping
king
,
Henry
the
bastard
(
of
whose
rase
this
man
is
descended
by
his
grandmother
)
being
accompanied
with
the
nobilitie
of
the
countrie
,
and
60000.
of
the
brauest
fighting
men
in
Spaine
,
&
so
vtterly
ouerthrew
him
,
that
they
erected
king
in
his
place
Don
Pedro
,
their
iust
&
lawfull
prince
of
that
kingdome
,
whom
by
maine
force
they
constrained
all
their
cities
and
noble
men
of
the
country
to
receiue
.
Read
besides
the
valerous
conquestes
atchieued
by
Iohn
Duke
of
Lancaster
,
brother
vnto
the
sayd
prince
,
in
Gallicia
,
against
Don
Iohn
,
sonne
of
the
sayd
Henrie
the
vsurping
bastard
:
besides
,
the
chronicles
of
Portugal
are
full
of
the
materiall
prowesse
of
the
English
&
glorious
victories
obtained
in
seruice
of
their
king
,
to
whose
aide
they
were
called
against
the
saide
king
of
Castile
But
what
need
I
run
backe
into
the
passed
ages
to
seeke
examples
?
Looke
but
into
the
incounters
that
haue
bene
of
late
daies
betweene
them
and
vs
either
by
sea
or
land
,
and
you
shall
finde
that
they
haue
alwaies
carried
the
blowes
.
As
by
land
,
at
the
encountering
of
Grane
and
that
of
Sutphen
,
where
the
honor
of
the
world
and
ornament
of
England
,
sir
P.
Sidney
by
his
aduenturous
valor
was
slaine
,
besides
many
other
bickerings
and
skirmishes
of
lesse
moment
needles
to
recite
.
Of
sea
matters
I
account
it
bootlesse
to
speake
,
so
greatly
and
aboue
measure
glorious
is
the
same
,
&
bruited
through
the
world
,
of
the
worthie
voiages
of
sir
F.
Drake
,
sir
I.
Haukins
,
sir
M.
Frobisher
,
C.
Raiman
,
and
the
rest
of
the
braue
and
couragious
Gentlemen
,
who
for
the
benefit
of
their
countrie
haue
not
spared
to
make
aduenture
of
their
liues
and
fortunes
.
But
if
you
desire
one
example
of
all
,
let
that
then
serue
of
his
huge
late
fleet
,
with
which
,
Golyas
like
,
hee
threatned
heauen
and
earth
,
&
with
which
he
thought
to
haue
circumuented
and
surprised
at
vnawares
her
Maiestie
,
whilest
falsely
,
wickedly
,
and
abusiuely
,
hee
entertained
her
Graces
Commissioners
in
Flanders
with
a
treatie
of
peace
.
To
which
her
Highnesse
lyke
a
Christian
princesse
,
and
for
to
auoide
the
effussion
of
Christian
bloud
,
was
verie
vnclinable
.
But
God
,
as
he
hath
alwaies
done
,
so
at
this
time
did
hee
miraculously
protect
her
Maiesty
in
such
sort
,
that
through
the
great
,
careful
,
and
exceeding
valorous
resolution
of
that
most
worthie
and
renowmed
Gentleman
the
Lorde
Admirall
of
England
,
of
whose
couragious
behauiour
and
terrour
,
with
which
he
amazed
them
,
the
verie
enemy
himselfe
,
though
agaynst
his
will
,
makes
worthie
mention
.
They
were
with
a
small
number
of
English
so
fiercely
and
vigorously
encountered
,
that
their
resistance
not
preuailing
them
,
they
were
scattered
,
chased
,
and
vtterly
discomfited
,
in
such
sorte
as
the
whole
world
knoweth
,
so
that
Lucans
verse
,
me
thinkes
,
may
verie
fitly
bee
applyed
vnto
them
,
Territa
quaesitis
ostendunt
terga
Britannis
.
Besides
,
what
better
triall
can
you
haue
of
the
valour
of
their
nation
than
this
,
being
thirtie
thousand
,
the
creame
of
all
theyr
forces
,
and
aboute
the
assembling
of
which
he
had
bene
three
yares
busied
,
yet
when
they
came
vpon
the
coast
of
England
,
dared
not
to
lande
a
man
:
whereas
wee
the
nexte
yeere
following
,
with
a
little
Nauie
,
containing
not
aboue
eleuen
thousand
men
,
vnder
the
conduct
of
the
two
most
renowmed
Captaines
,
sir
Iohn
Norris
and
sir
Frances
Drake
,
landed
in
Spaine
,
burnt
his
shipping
,
put
his
people
to
the
sword
,
&
his
townes
to
the
fire
,
and
coasted
thence
along
into
Portugal
,
and
there
landing
,
marched
in
his
countrie
,
euen
to
his
gates
of
Leisbone
,
with
drums
sounding
,
and
ensignes
displayed
:
from
whence
wee
returned
vnfought
withall
by
anie
of
his
forces
either
by
sea
or
land
.
These
things
well
considered
,
me
thinkes
you
haue
greater
reason
to
hope
one
daie
to
see
English
Ensignes
displayed
in
Madrill
,
together
wyth
the
vtter
ruine
of
that
proude
tyrant
of
Spaine
and
his
holy
Father
the
pope
,
with
all
their
rabble
,
than
anie
waie
to
feare
him
or
his
proceedings
.
And
yet
there
is
one
point
besides
all
the
aboue
rehearsed
,
out
of
which
we
may
receiue
singular
comfort
,
as
that
of
which
all
other
most
deepelye
vexeth
and
afflicteth
his
cogitations
,
and
which
,
no
doubt
before
it
be
long
,
wil
giue
vs
a
great
aduantage
against
him
,
and
that
is
,
the
contention
which
hee
seeth
to
spring
vp
in
his
owne
house
,
of
which
I
will
briefly
discourse
vnto
you
the
occasions
,
because
you
shall
vnderstand
the
same
the
better
.
Hee
hath
by
seuerall
wiues
three
children
liuing
,
two
Daughters
and
one
sonne
,
the
Sonne
young
of
yeeres
,
sicklie
of
bodie
,
pale
and
weake
of
complexion
,
of
wit
poore
and
vnfurnished
,
in
a
manner
a
very
idiot
.
His
eldest
daughter
,
whom
they
cal
La
Infante
of
Spaine
,
a
woman
as
by
birth
great
,
so
proud
exceedingly
,
haughtie
minded
,
and
aboue
measure
aspiring
,
prudent
,
in
her
speeches
maiesticall
,
in
her
countenance
and
actions
couragious
:
her
he
hath
alwaies
norished
vnder
his
own
wing
,
acquainting
her
euen
from
her
cradle
with
matters
of
state
and
gouernment
.
In
which
now
,
by
reason
of
her
long
traine
and
experience
therein
,
shee
is
exceedinglye
practised
and
ripe
.
With
her
,
what
waightie
matter
so
euer
hee
vndertaketh
,
hee
participateth
the
same
before
,
demanding
her
aduice
and
counsell
,
spending
sometimes
whole
halfe
daies
they
two
in
communication
together
.
Vpon
her
(
the
youths
weaknesse
&
simplicitie
of
the
yong
prince
considered
)
are
the
eies
of
all
men
throwen
,
vppon
her
depend
the
nobilitie
,
gentilitie
and
commons
,
and
innumerable
troupes
of
sutors
,
into
whose
harts
she
hath
so
insinuated
her selfe
,
that
they
doo
beare
an
exceeding
loue
and
reuerence
towards
her
,
many
mighty
men
haue
bin
offered
her
in
mariage
,
as
the
Empe●our
Rodolph
,
the
king
of
Scotland
,
and
diuers
other
,
but
she
vntil
she
see
what
wil
become
of
her
father
,
whom
shee
seeth
olde
,
oppressed
with
infinit
cares
,
and
not
likely
long
to
liue
,
vpon
whose
death
,
her
actions
and
manner
of
life
doth
assuredly
shew
,
that
shee
is
not
of
mettall
sufficient
to
giue
place
to
the
yong
idiot
her
brother
,
but
at
least
shee
meanes
to
part
stakes
with
him
.
In
Spaine
she
knowes
there
is
no
lawe
Salike
,
to
bridle
her
ambitious
thoughtes
,
but
women
maye
succeed
as
men
,
for
so
grandmother
Iouina
did
Ferdinando
her
father
.
Hauing
these
examples
before
her
eyes
,
she
feedeth
her
minde
with
high
&
ambitious
desires
,
of
which
she
hath
made
so
cleere
and
euident
demonstrations
,
that
her
Father
to
preuent
this
mischiefe
that
hee
feareth
,
was
forced
this
last
yeere
to
assemble
the
whole
estates
of
Spaine
,
&
to
make
them
sweare
to
be
true
vnto
his
sonne
,
whom
he
presently
caused
to
keepe
his
Court
apart
,
sending
him
sundrie
of
his
councell
,
and
commanding
the
nobilitie
to
be
attendant
on
him
,
acquainting
him
,
as
much
as
in
them
lyeth
,
with
ma●aging
of
matters
of
waight
,
estate
,
and
gouernment
.
Besides
it
is
heere
bruited
for
certaine
among
vs
,
that
the
president
of
Artois
Richardol
,
whom
the
Duke
of
Parma
had
sent
into
Spaine
,
to
make
his
excuses
and
iustifications
against
certaine
pointes
of
treason
,
of
which
he
was
by
the
Duke
of
Pastrauia
and
prince
of
Ascoly
accused
to
the
king
,
is
now
returned
with
commission
to
assemble
the
nobles
&
states
of
these
Countries
,
and
to
cause
them
to
take
the
like
oath
to
his
sonne
,
therby
to
preuent
as
well
his
daughter
as
the
Duke
of
Parma
of
their
conceiued
hopes
.
But
now
to
come
to
his
second
daughter
,
whom
he
hath
long
sithence
bestowed
in
marriage
vpon
the
Duke
of
Sauoy
,
with
absolute
promise
&
solemn
vow
between
him
and
her
,
to
leaue
her
a
kingdome
for
her
dowrie
.
She
is
a
princesse
in
ambition
and
high
desire
nothing
vnequal
to
her
sister
,
but
in
wit
&
courage
far
her
inferior
,
she
&
her
husband
both
alreadie
take
vppon
them
in
their
manner
,
stile
,
and
vsage
,
a
state
and
title
far
beyond
their
dignitie
,
conuenient
onelye
vnto
kinges
.
Altessa
is
the
meanest
phrase
they
will
be
spoken
in
vnto
,
refusing
any
letters
that
are
not
so
intituled
,
for
such
is
the
will
and
pleasure
of
the
king
her
father
.
Naples
&
the
Dutchie
of
Millaine
they
haue
alreadie
deuoured
in
their
hopes
,
which
if
her
Father
at
his
death
leaue
not
quietly
vnto
them
,
they
will
be
so
bold
as
strain
curtesie
with
his
son
,
to
get
them
perforce
if
he
can
.
On
the
other
side
,
the
states
of
Italy
like
not
such
a
mightie
neighbor
amongst
them
,
and
therefore
to
preuent
both
him
and
his
father
in
lawes
desseignment
,
haue
made
a
most
straight
secret
league
&
alliance
among
themselues
,
tearming
the
same
Ragoyne
de
Stato
:
in
which
are
comprised
the
pope
,
the
Venetians
,
the
Duke
of
Florence
,
the
Duke
of
Parma
,
the
Dukes
of
Vrbin
,
Mantua
,
and
Ferrara
:
the
duke
of
Parma
dared
not
to
enter
in
among
them
,
but
is
forced
,
though
none
more
agreed
to
dissemble
and
temporize
than
he
for
a
while
,
he
knoweth
that
the
king
hath
bene
exceeding
ielous
,
and
seeketh
,
though
slily
and
dissemblingly
,
his
life
,
honour
,
&
reputation
.
But
aboue
all
,
the
dissention
of
Portugall
,
to
which
hee
perswadeth
himselfe
to
haue
right
,
as
in
truth
his
title
is
better
than
that
of
the
king
of
Spaines
,
sticketh
deep
in
his
stomacke
,
Manet
alta
monte
repostum
,
and
wee
doubte
not
but
one
daie
when
occasion
shall
serue
,
hee
will
make
the
worlde
witnesse
of
his
discontentment
,
which
the
king
well
knoweth
,
and
greatly
feareth
,
but
he
must
haue
patience
,
for
he
can
hardly
remedie
it
,
vnlesse
the
duke
will
wittingly
ouerthrow
himselfe
,
especially
hauing
these
meanes
in
his
handes
which
hee
hath
,
not
onely
to
worke
his
owne
securitie
,
but
to
crie
quittance
also
when
time
shall
serue
.
But
hauing
now
exceeded
the
limits
of
a
letter
,
it
is
time
I
refraine
my
pen
,
hoping
that
these
alledged
demonstrations
shall
,
if
not
to
worke
the
good
effect
which
I
desire
in
you
&
other
Gentlemen
of
my
countrie
,
yet
at
the
least
to
manifest
the
dutifull
zeale
&
loue
I
beare
vnto
the
state
of
my
Country
,
as
to
all
faithfull
members
thereof
,
in
participating
vnto
them
such
things
as
by
painfull
and
dangerous
experience
I
haue
gathered
,
and
do
thinke
necessarie
to
be
knowen
,
wherein
I
haue
vsed
such
truth
,
that
I
hope
no
man
liuing
shall
be
able
to
disproue
me
,
though
I
doubte
not
but
the
same
shall
bee
by
some
malitiously
censured
,
and
my selfe
subiect
to
abide
the
brunt
of
their
mallice
,
being
assured
that
I
shall
not
auoid
the
poisoned
rancor
of
their
infamous
defaming
tongues
and
pens
.
For
seeing
they
spare
not
in
their
traiterous
speeches
&
infamous
pamphlets
,
princes
,
noble
men
,
&
counsellors
,
men
of
great
authoritie
&
vertue
,
it
were
folly
for
me
to
looke
to
scape
scot-free
.
But
such
is
the
ioye
I
conceiue
in
my
good
meaning
,
that
I
shal
receiue
comfort
thereof
,
as
a
thing
greatly
redounding
to
my
credit
,
of
such
men
as
they
are
to
bee
ill
spoken
of
.
Now
lastly
for
conclusion
,
whereas
you
write
that
if
there
were
no
other
benefite
to
be
gotten
in
these
partes
,
but
attaining
the
languages
of
foreine
nations
,
with
the
knowledge
of
militarie
discipline
and
affaires
of
matter
of
state
,
wherein
you
heare
my selfe
&
others
your
country-men
haue
in
these
parts
greatly
profited
themselues
,
it
were
a
motion
sufficient
not
onely
to
make
you
leaue
your
countrie
for
a
time
,
but
to
hazard
your selfe
to
any
dangers
in
forain
parts
,
I
haue
thought
good
therein
to
let
you
vnderstand
,
that
albeit
I
must
confesse
,
that
I
haue
in
those
thinges
profited
more
perchaunce
,
(
without
ostentation
be
it
spoken
)
than
others
of
our
nation
,
for
the
most
part
haue
done
:
yet
as
the
time
now
serueth
,
and
the
case
now
standeth
at
this
present
,
there
is
no
possibilitie
that
you
or
anie
other
may
in
farre
longer
time
than
I
haue
spent
,
attaine
to
the
like
:
and
if
you
could
,
yet
the
dangers
that
in
aduenturing
the
same
you
shoulde
indure
,
were
farre
greater
than
the
benefites
you
could
possibly
reape
might
in
any
wise
counteruaile
,
were
they
such
as
might
answere
you
expectation
.
In
which
respect
,
I
praie
you
first
consider
,
that
when
I
came
first
ouer
hether
,
the
wars
then
here
vndertaken
seemed
&
were
in
apparance
to
all
the
manner
sort
of
men
in
the
worlde
.
But
intestine
warres
betweene
the
prince
and
his
subiects
,
such
as
no
other
foraine
prince
,
and
most
especially
our
most
noble
Queene
&
Soueraigne
was
then
nothing
interessed
:
whereas
since
it
hath
ben
made
manifest
to
the
world
that
these
wars
and
iniuries
offered
by
the
king
of
Spaine
to
those
of
the
Low
countries
,
whose
laws
,
customs
and
priuiledges
he
hath
most
violently
,
tyranously
,
wrongfully
and
periuredly
broken
,
whereby
hee
hath
freed
them
from
his
subiection
,
yoake
,
and
tyranie
,
and
iustly
and
deseruedly
for
euer
lost
al
such
preheminences
,
prerogatiues
,
authoritie
,
and
iurisdiction
as
he
pretended
ouer
them
,
as
more
amply
appeareth
in
the
ancient
records
of
the
priuiledges
of
these
nations
,
which
both
he
&
his
predecessors
at
their
entrie
of
gouernment
into
these
prouinces
haue
solemnly
vowed
and
sworne
to
maintaine
all
in
generall
,
and
euerie
in
particular
inuiolate
,
&
vppon
that
couenant
and
condition
they
haue
reciprocally
sworn
to
him
due
fidelitie
and
obeisance
,
he
fayling
in
the
one
,
they
to
be
exempted
from
the
other
.
Noreouer
,
her
Maiestie
seeing
the
lamentable
and
most
pittifull
cause
of
her
distressed
neighbours
and
allies
,
finding
no
other
possible
meanes
by
laborers
,
sutes
,
messages
,
&
sundrie
Embassadors
which
she
most
honorably
sent
to
the
king
of
Spain
for
pacifieng
the
sayd
troubles
,
and
reconciling
the
sayd
king
and
those
:
sometimes
his
sayd
subiectes
haue
bene
inforced
to
take
pittie
and
commiseration
of
their
most
miserable
and
afflicted
estate
and
distresse
,
and
for
their
reliefe
,
to
her
excessiue
&
almost
importable
charges
,
to
vndertake
a
most
iust
,
godly
,
and
charitable
defensiue
warre
against
those
that
daily
seeke
the
bloud
,
liues
,
goods
,
lands
and
liberties
of
the
inhabitants
of
the
sayd
distressed
nations
.
Since
which
being
published
,
I
thinke
it
not
onely
vnlawful
,
but
also
a
most
hainous
and
capital
crime
and
offence
for
any
her
Maiesties
subiectes
to
serue
on
the
contrarie
part
.
Besides
,
it
shal
be
good
for
you
&
all
other
good
subiects
of
her
Maiesties
,
to
remember
that
consideration
being
had
by
her
Maiestie
and
her
most
honorable
prudent
councell
,
of
the
loosenes
of
many
of
her
subiects
,
and
small
respect
they
had
to
her
Highnes
&
countrie
,
&
as
litle
to
their
owne
safety
,
hir
Maiesty
hath
caused
to
be
published
&
set
forth
diuerse
lawes
,
ordinances
,
proclamations
,
and
inhibitions
,
whereby
all
her
subiectes
(
except
knowen
marchants
and
strangers
)
are
straightly
forbidden
to
passe
the
seas
into
anie
forraine
partes
without
especiall
lisence
of
her
Maiestie
at
this
time
.
Therefore
if
you
or
anie
other
her
Graces
subiects
,
shall
nowe
attempt
to
passe
the
seas
without
lawfull
lisence
,
there
is
no
reason
why
you
shuld
expect
anie
other
than
the
rigor
of
the
lawes
&
iustice
,
&
to
be
holden
guiltie
of
cases
capitall
,
especiallye
such
as
shall
serue
vnder
so
open
and
professed
an
enemie
to
the
crowne
and
state
.
Further
,
I
praye
you
to
haue
in
consideration
,
that
when
I
came
ouer
hether
,
the
case
so
stoode
as
all
Gentlemen
of
anie
quality
or
merit
,
were
gratefully
receiued
,
and
emploied
in
good
&
honorable
seruices
:
whereas
since
the
Spaniard
hath
professed
himselfe
open
enemie
to
her
Maiestie
and
the
state
of
her
realme
,
he
hath
had
all
English-men
in
verie
base
account
,
beeing
ielous
&
extremely
suspitious
of
those
that
be
most
inwarde
with
him
,
&
who
for
his
sake
haue
made
shipwrack
not
only
of
their
honor
and
credit
,
but
also
of
their
loialty
,
dutie
and
alleageance
to
her
Maiestie
and
their
natiue
Countrie
.
Examples
whereof
are
infinit
,
and
partly
touched
in
my
Discourse
before
set
dowue
.
Besides
,
there
is
of
late
crept
into
that
nation
a
viperous
brood
of
Iesuits
and
priests
,
most
dangerous
&
malitious
enemies
to
her
Maiestie
,
and
to
their
owne
countrie
vile
and
pernitious
,
instruments
of
the
pope
and
his
adherents
,
who
daily
(
as
it
is
manifest
to
them
that
haue
knowledge
and
experience
of
them
&
their
actions
)
seeke
nothing
more
than
the
vtter
ruine
,
pulling
downe
,
