The
first
Sauoyan
.
Wherein
is
set
forth
the
right
of
the
conquest
of
Sauoy
by
the
French
,
and
the
importance
of
holding
it
.
ALbeit
my
manifold
woundes
receiued
in
the
seruice
of
our
good
Kings
,
Charles
&
his
two
successors
,
haue
chayned
me
to
my
bed
,
and
in
manner
extinguished
all
hope
of
recouerie
of
my
health
,
considering
my
age
:
yet
can
I
not
chuse
(
sith
it
will
be
no
better
)
but
serue
my
king
and
countrey
with
all
that
is
left
mee
,
namely
my
speech
.
In
as
much
therefore
,
as
I
can
not
deliuer
any
thing
so
faire
&
conuenient
,
as
that
excellent
subiect
which
I
haue
vndertaken
,
euen
the
equitie
and
benefite
of
the
conquest
and
presernation
of
Sauoy
:
I
will
without
farther
preface
,
aduow
that
the
King
hath
sufficiently
made
demonstration
to
the
whole
world
,
how
vnwilling
hee
was
to
proceede
by
force
of
armes
,
in
that
he
stood
onely
vpon
his
Marquizate
:
For
as
well
might
hee
haue
called
an
account
of
sixe
times
greater
duties
:
euen
such
duties
as
were
neither
vncertaine
nor
doubtfull
,
but
most
euident
,
and
iustified
by
authenticall
titles
reserued
among
the
treasurie
of
the
charters
of
France
,
whereof
the
most
part
are
sufficiently
knowne
by
the
histories
of
these
three
latter
ages
,
albeit
wee
seeke
no
farther
for
them
.
First
,
the
Earles
of
Sauoy
haue
without
any
colour
or
pretence
,
seyzed
vpon
Nice
and
Villefranch
,
members
of
the
true
,
and
ancient
bodie
of
the
Countie
of
Prouince
,
whereof
the
Earles
of
Prouince
haue
euermore
beene
acknowledged
to
be
Lordes
:
as
Queene
Iane
,
daughter
to
Robert
king
of
Sicile
,
and
Earle
of
Prouence
:
who
enioyed
the
fame
in
the
yeare
1380.
and
with
all
other
her
goods
gaue
them
to
Lewes
the
first
Duke
of
Angeou
:
who
,
as
also
after
him
Queene
Marie
,
in
the
name
of
Lewes
the
second
Duke
of
Aniou
,
did
peaceablie
enioy
them
as
Earles
of
Prouence
.
Howbeit
,
during
the
great
warres
betweene
the
houses
of
Aniou
and
Arragon
for
Naples
,
the
Duke
of
Sauoy
,
without
any
title
or
pretence
,
but
onely
of
seemlinesse
,
seyzed
vpon
the
territories
of
Nice
and
Villefranch
.
Albeit
consequently
the
French
Kings
,
as
heyres
generall
to
the
Earles
of
Prouence
,
are
the
vndoubted
Lords
of
both
these
places
.
Secondly
,
the
house
of
Sauoy
hath
forcibly
&
by
violence
seyzed
vpon
the
countrey
of
Piemont
,
an
other
part
of
the
ancient
bodie
and
patrimonie
of
Prouence
:
For
aduow
of
the
truth
hereof
,
in
the
yeare
1306.
was
the
principalitie
of
Piedmont
vnited
to
the
County
of
Prouence
,
and
the
Earles
thereof
peaceably
enioyed
the
same
,
vntill
the
yeare
1363.
at
what
time
Queene
Iane
was
defeated
of
it
.
Thirdly
,
they
haue
also
encroched
vpon
a
great
part
of
the
Countie
of
Ast
,
which
appertaineth
to
the
house
of
Orleance
,
as
being
giuen
in
dowry
to
Valentine
▪
As
also
they
haue
seyzed
vpon
the
homage
of
Fousigny
,
which
dependeth
vpon
Dauphine
.
Fourthly
,
in
dutie
they
are
to
obey
the
contradictory
sentence
giuen
the
10
of
Iune
,
1390
▪
in
the
parliament
of
Paris
,
where
they
proceeded
,
&
by
all
meanes
defended
themselues
:
for
by
that
decree
the
K.
Dauphin
was
pronounced
soueraigne
Lord
of
the
Marquizat
of
Saluces
.
And
in
execution
of
this
decree
,
the
Duke
of
Sauoy
is
to
yeeld
vp
a
great
deale
of
land
appertaining
to
the
said
Marquizate
,
together
with
the
fruites
of
the
same
.

had
two

The

Margaret
of

who
brought

sixtie
thousand

By

(

is
giuen
the
Countie

this
marriage
issued
a
sonne
called

was

In
the
yeere
1534.
King
Francis
the
first
sent
diuers
times
sundrie
great
personages
to
Charles
the
ninth
,
Duke
of
Sauoy
,
his
Lady
Mothers
halfe
brother
,
to
demaund
his
rights
.
But
this
Duke
,
preuented
by
the
passions
of
his
wife
,
and
lingring
in
hope
of
a
certaine
exchange
most
daungerous
for
vs
,
not
onely
denied
to
doe
him
reason
in
these
so
euident
and
palpable
rights
,
but
also
resolued
to
debarre
the
Kings
passage
,
as
he
was
on
his
iourney
,
to
be
reuenged
vpon
Sforce
,
Duke
of
Millan
,
for
the
most
villanous
act
that
euer
was
committed
,
namely
,
the
beheading
of
the
Lord
Merueilles
,
Ambassadour
of
France
.
Hereupon
did
the
King
denounce
warre
to
the
Duke
of
Sauoy
,
who
wrongfully
detained
his
rights
:
and
according
to
law
of
Nations
,
which
giueth
to
the
strongest
in
true
and
full
proprietie
,
the
goods
of
him
that
hath
denied
him
his
right
:
his
Maiestie
in
the
yeere
1536.
conquered
Sauoy
,
Bresse
,
and
Piedmont
,
which
he
reserued
twentie
three
yeres
:
And
very
presumptuous
he
had
been
,
that
durst
haue
mooued
this
great
King
to
abandon
this
principall
rampier
or
bulwarke
of
the
Gaules
,
for
the
custodie
whereof
,
wee
neede
not
to
crosse
the
seas
,
or
trauaile
through
forrain
Countries
,
but
may
come
to
it
by
firme
footing
.
Thus
are
great
empires
cymented
and
established
.
But
such
was
the
calamitie
of
France
,
that
in
the
yeere
1559.
wee
made
a
treatie
,
whereby
wee
rendered
198.
places
,
where
the
King
held
his
garrisons
,
as
the
Marshall
Monluc
doth
testifie
,
who
tearmeth
it
the
vnfortunate
and
accursed
peace
,
saying
,
that
since
the
same
,
wee
haue
neuer
beene
free
from
misfortunes
.
Also
that
our
Ciuill
wars
haue
wasted
more
valiant
Captaines
in
seuen
yeeres
,
then
any
forraine
warres
in
seuentie
.
Yet
spake
he
not
this
vpon
any
good
will
that
hee
bare
to
those
,
with
whome
wee
were
at
warres
:
for
they
neuer
had
a
sorer
enemie
,
or
any
that
dealt
more
rudely
with
them
.
But
the
Flower
de
Luce
was
painted
in
his
heart
,
and
hee
most
vehemently
did
affect
any
thing
,
that
might
tend
to
the
greatnesse
and
glorie
of
this
crowne
.
In
this
regard
he
could
not
without
griefe
speake
of
so
vnprofitable
a
restitution
,
whereto
our
mishap
had
forced
vs
,
with
a
whole
sequence
of
all
sorts
of
miseries
,
in
that
so
many
warlike
people
(
as
he
termeth
them
)
could
not
otherwise
employ
themselues
,
then
in
most
furious
cutting
each
others
throates
.
Neuerthelesse
we
did
not
at
that
time
so
farre
giue
way
to
the
storme
,
that
tossed
and
turmoyled
this
Realme
,
but
that
wee
retayned
fiue
of
the
principall
and
strongest
townes
of
Piedmont
,
as
pledges
for
the
reason
that
should
be
done
vs
in
our
rights
,
namely
Thurin
,
Quiers
,
Chiuas
,
Pinerol
,
Villeneufue
d'
Ast
,
wherein
we
are
also
to
note
,
that
our
treatie
of
peace
in
1559.
in
expresse
words
imported
,
that
the
King
should
holde
Thurin
,
Chiuas
,
and
Villeneufue
d'
Ast
,
with
all
their
confines
,
territories
,
commaunds
,
iurisdictions
,
and
other
appurtenances
:
and
as
for
Quiers
and
Pinerol
,
the
king
should
hold
them
with
such
confines
&
territories
,
as
he
should
find
to
be
necessarie
for
the
sustenance
and
defence
of
the
sayd
places
.
Now
at
the
same
time
dyed
King
Henry
the
second
,
leauing
king
Frauncis
verie
young
,
which
occasion
the
Duke
of
Sauoy
would
not
ouerslip
:
For
being
still
at
Paris
,
fourteene
dayes
after
the
fathers
death
,
he
obtained
the
sonnes
letters
patents
(
neuer
verified
as
the
treaty
of
peace
was
)
wherein
the
confines
of
these
fiue
townes
were
restrained
to
a
Piedmont
myle
,
which
was
as
much
as
to
abridge
vs
of
the
fiue
sixt
partes
at
the
least
of
all
that
was
left
vs
,
as
if
it
had
not
beene
enough
that
we
had
yeelded
vp
so
many
places
,
vnlesse
wee
were
also
so
straightened
in
the
remainder
of
our
shipwrack
.
All
which
notwithstanding
,
I
would
to
God
things
had
yet
so
remained
:
But
in
the
yeare
62.
during
our
first
ciuill
warres
,
they
that
had
alreadie
found
opportunitie
so
to
shorten
the
territories
,
seeing
the
realme
in
trouble
,
and
King
Charles
but
twelue
yeares
old
,
gaue
the
aduenture
,
&
restored
into
this
Dukes
hands
,
Thurin
,
Quiers
,
Chinas
,
&
Villeneufue
d'
Ast
.
Ten
battelles
would
not
haue
wrested
from
vs
such
places
,
which
had
cost
Fraunce
so
much
gold
and
bloud
.
Not
long
before
,
they
had
in
fit
time
made
away
Marshall
Brissac
,
who
would
rather
haue
cast
himselfe
headlong
from
the
rockes
,
then
in
the
kings
nonage
haue
giuen
vp
townes
of
such
importance
to
the
crowne
,
the
value
whereof
hee
was
better
acquainted
withall
,
then
any
man
aliue
.
His
successor
in
this
gouernment
(
yet
accounted
one
of
the
fayrest
,
in
regard
of
the
great
importance
thereof
)
forgat
no
remonstrance
:
and
in
deed
he
satisfied
all
men
but
himselfe
:
for
thrice
did
he
refuse
the
execution
of
so
wonderfull
hurtfull
an
acte
,
vsing
most
vehement
and
liuely
remonstrances
and
protestations
,
crauing
an
assemblie
of
the
Estates
,
or
at
the
least
considering
the
Kings
minoritie
,
the
verification
of
the
Parliament
of
Peeres
,
sitting
at
Paris
.
Had
they
had
any
hope
to
obtaine
this
promulgation
,
it
had
not
beene
denyed
him
,
especially
considering
that
it
would
haue
stoode
for
a
discharge
to
all
others
:
But
they
knew
very
wel
,
that
such
a
parliament
,
consisting
of
so
many
great
personages
,
practised
in
all
sorts
of
affayres
,
who
also
by
the
reading
of
hystories
were
acquainted
with
the
truth
of
our
rights
mentioned
in
the
beginning
,
would
neuer
by
their
decree
haue
authorized
an
acte
so
preiudiciall
to
the
estate
.
In
this
regard
,
not
daring
to
exhibite
such
letters
to
the
Parliament
of
Fraunce
,
they
grew
to
such
grieuous
and
strange
threates
against
this
Gouernour
,
that
at
the
last
hee
gaue
way
:
howbeit
with
such
and
so
violent
griefe
,
that
it
stucke
by
him
to
his
end
,
and
brought
him
to
his
graue
,
enforcing
him
sundrie
times
to
crie
out
,
that
he
was
accursed
,
that
he
ought
to
haue
dyed
in
Thurin
,
vnlesse
his
master
after
declaration
of
his
maioritie
,
had
of
his
owne
absolute
authoritie
reuoked
him
:
also
that
peraduenture
his
Maiestie
finding
what
a
faire
flower
they
sought
to
plucke
from
his
crowne
,
and
what
a
griefe
and
losse
the
same
might
for
euer
remaine
,
both
to
him
and
his
successors
,
would
haue
altered
his
purpose
,
and
beene
of
another
mind
.
Thus
we
see
how
in
62.
these
foure
places
were
lost
onely
for
Sauillan
,
and
33000.
Franckes
,
for
a
moneths
pay
for
the
Souldiours
,
which
was
no
doubt
a
proper
change
.
All
the
Artillerie
was
drawen
to
Carmaegnolle
,
which
by
this
meanes
was
as
well
stored
as
all
the
rest
of
the
Realme
:
and
in
this
wise
was
the
assurance
and
pledge
of
all
our
rights
reduced
to
two
holds
,
Pinerall
,
one
of
the
fiue
,
and
Sauillan
,
which
was
but
little
worth
:
yet
was
not
the
Duke
of
Sauoy
thus
content
:
for
the
pledge
,
howsoeuer
small
,
did
still
remember
vs
of
our
rights
,
which
he
labored
to
rase
out
of
our
minds
▪
&
therfore

late

contemning
the
Salicke

immediatly
perswaded
himselfe
that
he
had
most
apparant
right
to
this
crowne
:
or
that
at
the
least
hee
would
carrie
away
one
of
the
best
partes

broken
shippe

that
the

succession

face

inuaded

Artillerie
no
whit
inferior
thereto
:
for
there
were
laide
vp
the
Canons
,
which
vnder
the
banners
of
the
Flower
de
Luce
had
made
the
proudest
rauelins
of
warlicke
Italie
to
stoop
.
At
the
beginning
of
this
vsurpation
he
sought
sundrie
pretences
,
and
sent
his
Ambassadors
expressely
to
the
King
,
to
assure
him
of
restitution
of
the
whole
into
his
hands
.
But
immediately
he
disgraced
his
Maiesties
officers
,
&
of
his
Ducall
authority
established
others
:
he
pulled
down
&
brake
the
Flower
de
Luces
,
&
raysed
the
armes
of
Sauoy
:
he
furnished
his
towns
with
part
of
our
Artillery
,
&
at
the
same
instant
,
to
acquaint
al
the
world
with
the
trophees
of
his
victorie
,
he
forgeth
a
proud
coyne
,
whereupon
he
stampeth
a
Centaure
,
treading
vnder
his
feete
a
crowne
reuersed
,
with
this
deuise
,
Opportune
.
All
such
as
are
acquainted
with
Histories
,
can
testifie
,
that
since
the
establishment
of
this
great
Monarchie
,
the
most
auncient
in
the
world
,
it
neuer
brooked
such
an
outrage
:
for
if
iniuries
are
much
the
more
aggrauated
by
the
consideration
of
his
weaknesse
from
whom
they
doe
proceede
,
what
greater
shame
,
what
greater
reproach
to
the
chiefe
Crowne
in
Christendome
,
to
the
most
sacred
King
in
the
world
,
the
Prince
ouer
a
Nationa
,
euen
borne
to
Mars
his
occupation
,
the
subduers
of
Asia
and
Affrica
:
at
the
report
of
whose
name
,
euen
the
fiercest
Nations
that
euer
had
dominion
vpon
the
earth
,
haue
trembled
,
then
to
see
his
forts
and
store-house
beyond
the
mounts
,
carryed
away
by
a
pettie
Duke
of
Sauoy
?
Surely
no
true
Frenchman
can
speake
of
this
insolent
brauado
,
without
griefe
and
extreme
anguish
.
All
words
are
too
base
for
such
an
indignitie
,
to
say
that
this
great
&
mightie
kingdome
should
beare
this
reproach
and
blemish
in
her
forehead
for
the
space
of
a
dozen
yeres
,
and
that
it
hath
rested
onely
vpon
this
vnthankfull
person
,
that
hee
neuer
felt
the
punishment
for
such
an
outrage
,
done
to
the
maiestie
and
glorie
of
the
French
name
.
But
it
was
not
Gods
will
,
who
hath
hardened
his
heart
,
that
he
might
receiue
the
reward
of
such
treason
,
accompanied
with
the
most
notable
ingratitude
that
was
euer
heard
of
,
and
with
a
thousand
cruelties
that
haue
insued
the
same
.
For
not
content
with
this
inuasion
,
he
hath
since
practised
all
the
cruelties
that
hee
could
deuise
against
all
such
sorts
of
Frenchmen
,
as
hee
hath
found
resolute
in
the
defence
of
the
liberties
of
their
Countries
,
with
the
price
of
their
bloud
,
or
that
preferred
death
before
bondage
.
Prouence
&
Dauphine
,
which
he
assumed
to
revnite
to
the
Crowne
of
Sauoy
,
as
his
predecessors
haue
done
Piedmont
,
Ast
,
Nice
,
Villefranche
,
and
many
other
places
to
vs
appertainiug
,
doe
yet
groane
vnder
the
anguish
of
such
wounds
,
as
his
cruell
tyrannie
hath
inflicted
vpon
them
:
yea
such
,
so
great
and
intolerable
,
that
euen
they
that
had
opened
him
the
gates
,
were
forced
to
driue
him
out
again
,
wheresoeuer
their
strength
would
serue
.
Afterward
seeing
this
Realme
quiet
vnder
one
of
the
mightest
and
most
excellent
Princes
that
euer
swayed
this
glorious
Scepter
,
a
Prince
growne
vp
among
the
allarmes
,
the
nurse-child
of
legions
,
and
in
all
poynts
requisit
in
a
most
perfect
Captaine
,
most
accomplished
,
and
withall
a
mightie
King
;
he
was
not
so
slender
witted
,
but
that
he
well
perceiued
how
very
difficult
it
was
for
him
,
any
long
time
to
hold
this
Marquizate
by
force
,
especially
considering
,
that
by
the
treatie
euerie
man
was
to
reenter
into
like
estate
,
as
hee
enioyed
before
the
warres
,
at
the
least
,
within
one
yeere
:
besides
,
that
his
Holynes
had
sufficiently
giuen
to
vnderstand
,
that
before
all
things
it
was
requisite
,
fully
to
restore
him
,
that
in
the
time
of
peace
had
perforce
beene
robbed
.
Finding
himselfe
therefore
in
these
perplexities
,
with
the
Kings
permission
,
whom
he
had
assured
euery
way
to
content
,
he
came
to
Paris
,
where
he
was
receiued
with
al
cheerefulnesse
and
honour
that
himselfe
could
desire
:
after
long
and
often
treaties
,
hee
finally
in
the
month
of
February
promised
within
the
first
of
lune
,
to
yeeld
vp
the
Marquizate
in
like
state
as
he
tooke
it
,
or
the
exchange
thereof
agreed
vpon
betweene
his
Maiestie
and
him
:
and
this
was
solemnely
signed
,
as
well
by
the
one
as
by
the
other
.
Afterward
being
returned
into
Piedmont
,
hee
was
so
farre
from
certifying
the
King
that
his
mind
was
changed
,
that
contrariwise
from
day
to
day
hee
entertained
him
with
goodly
promises
of
faithfull
performance
of
all
that
he
had
promised
.
So
that
as
ordinarily
such
men
as
had
rather
incurre
a
thousand
deaths
,
then
break
their
word
,
do
imagine
al
others
to
be
like
themselues
,
especially
where
they
haue
to
doe
with
Princes
,
whose
greatnesse
and
honour
shining
as
well
during
their
liues
,
as
after
their
decease
,
consisteth
in
the
exact
obseruation
of
their
fayth
,
the
Queene
of
men
,
the
sunshine
of
this
world
,
and
the
ornament
of
all
vertues
:
his
Maiestie
accounted
the
restitution
of
his
Marquizate
,
as
sure
as
if
the
Lord
of
Passage
,
a
Gentleman
without
reproch
,
whom
hee
had
chosen
to
bee
Gouernour
,
had
alreadie
beene
entred
with
his
garrison
appoynted
to
that
effect
.
But
the
Prince
of
Piedmonts
purposes
had
a
farre
other
drift
:
he
sought
onely
to
win
moneths
,
weekes
,
and
dayes
,
that
so
the
winter
comming
on
,
might
debarre
the
King
from
any
enterprise
for
that
yeere
,
which
was
alreadie
well
spent
,
assuring
himselfe
,
that
before
the
Spring
he
would
set
so
many
matters
on
broach
,
&
ftir
such
coles
,
that
they
should
haue
other
matters
inough
to
thinke
vpon
,
rather
then
the
Marquizate
of
Saluces
,
withal
conioyning
his
extreme
confidence
that
hee
reposed
in
his
Witches
,
Sorcerers
,
&
prickers
of
waxen
Images
.
But
God
had
otherwise
appoynted
:
for
after
forbearance
of
feuenty
daies
aboue
couenant
,
withall
that
this
Prince
had
declared
,
that
hee
would
not
performe
or
accomplish
that
which
his
Ambassadors
and
pastors
had
aduised
:
the
King
,
whose
wisdome
was
correspondent
to
his
bountie
,
finding
himselfe
thus
vnworthily
intreated
in
the
execution
of
this
accord
,
that
had
beene
made
by
his
predecessor
,
in
the
inuasion
of
his
inheritance
,
did
finally
resolue
by
force
of
armes
to
reuenge
so
many
wrongs
offred
to
this
Crowne
&
withall
,
to
let
all
the
world
,
where
the
fame
of
his
conquests
and
victories
should
be
bruted
,
to
vnderstand
,
that
it
was
neither
want
of
power
in
his
Kingdome
,
neither
feare
of
danger
that
forced
him
to
like
of
the
sayd
accord
,
in
liew
of
sixe
times
as
large
an
inheritance
,
by
this
vnthankfull
wretch
detained
from
him
:
but
rather
for
that
hee
was
most
religiously
bent
to
obserue
the
peace
of
Veruins
,
which
since
the
Prince
of
Piedmont
had
on
his
part
broken
,
&
withal
,
shrunke
from
his
promise
so
solemnely
signed
:
as
also
that
God
,
the
great
Iudge
of
both
good
and
badde
meanings
,
who
giueth
victorie
to
the
righteous
quarrell
,
hath
so
prospered
our
armes
,
that
with
his
help
and
a
little
patience
,
we
may
soone
compasse
this
so
important
a
conquest
of
Sauoy
and
Bresse
:
shall
we
then
possibly
find
any
of
our
owne
Nation
,
so
carelesse
of
the
glory
and
safetie
of
their
Countrey
,
as
againe
to
desire
the
presence
of
the
most
mortall
and
passionate
enemie
that
wee
haue
in
this
world
,
on
this
side
the
Alpes
,
on
this
side
the
Bulwarck
of
the
Gaules
,
and
euen
in
our
bowels
?
Nature
,
sayd
our
elders
(
and
in
that
word
we
comprehend
the
power
of
God
)
hath
limited
the
great
Empires
with
deepe
seas
,
with
high
mountains
,
with
mightie
and
swift
riuers
,
perpetuall
and
vnchangeable
bounds
,
farre
more
sure
then
any
made
by
mans
hand
,
which
must
alwayes
bee
repaired
.
The
true
bounds
of
the
Gaules
East-ward
,
are
the
Alpes
:
what
more
profitable
,
and
withall
,
more
honourable
,
can
any
man
imagine
,
then
by
so
iust
a
warre
,
and
so
acknowledged
throughout
Christendome
,
to
driue
all
forraine
Dominion
ouer
the
Mounts
,
and
to
take
such
order
,
that
albeit
all
Transalpine
Gaules
fayle
vs
,
yet
so
much
as
is
on
this
side
,
may
conspire
the
preseruation
of
the
glorie
and
greatnesse
of
the
Flower
de
Luce
?
Hereupon
especially
let
vs
likewise
consider
the
diuers
accidents
that
may
befall
this
great
bodie
,
and
remember
that
when
the
enemies
armies
must
needes
climbe
these
high
Mountaines
,
and
crane
vp
their
Canons
,
a
verie
small
resistance
will
mightily
trouble
them
:
and
contrariwise
,
that
the
estate
wherein
wee
liued
before
this
happie
conquest
,
Dauphine
and
Prouence
lay
open
to
all
inuasions
.
If
they
that
liued
in
former
ages
had
not
regarded
our
safetie
,
as
wee
are
also
to
take
order
for
our
posteritie
,
the
fire
would
dayly
haue
flamed
in
Angoulmois
,
in
Anieow
,
and
in
many
other
parts
of
this
Realme
,
If
our
former
Kings
had
had
no
meaning
to
liue
among
vs
(
as
they
doe
)
through
the
glorie
of
their
great
and
stately
conquests
,
or
that
they
would
haue
surrendred
the
inheritance
of
such
as
durst
presume
to
trie
their
forces
,
and
what
a
French
armie
,
fighting
in
the
view
of
their
Prince
,
is
able
to
doe
:
vndoubtedly
wee
should
now
haue
neither
seas
nor
mountaines
to
bounder
this
Kingdome
.
Neither
is
there
any
person
so
vnexperienced
in
worldly
affaires
,
as
not
to
know
,
that
the
Pyrenian
limits
are
not
vnto
vs
of
greater
vse
and
commoditie
then
the
Alpes
:
for
from
them
we
stand
in
danger
of
the
assault
of
one
onely
Nation
,
which
since
the
creation
of
the
world
,
could
neuer
alone
so
fight
with
the
French
,
but
that
the
honour
hath
rested
with
vs
.
Contrariwise
,
by
the
Alpes
wee
lie
open
to
all
the
most
fierce
,
proude
,
and
most
capable
of
extending
their
Dominion
,
had
the
Ottomans
prosecuted
their
progresse
through
Italy
,
as
well
as
they
caught
sure
footing
by
the
taking
of
Ottranto
,
which
could
not
be
wrested
from
them
vnder
eighteene
moneths
siege
,
after
his
decease
that
conquered
it
,
euen
those
against
whom
we
are
now
to
make
warres
,
must
haue
beene
the
chiefe
bulwarke
of
our
fortresse
to
keepe
it
:
such
men
are
they
to
support
such
cloudes
of
innumerable
men
.
Let
vs
not
imagine
these
considerations
to
be
scar-crowes
,
as
things
vnpossible
,
which
I
would
to
God
they
were
,
for
we
must
confesse
,
that
it
is
not
halfe
so
farre
from
Mont
Senis
to
Zigeth
,
or
into
Esclauonia
,
as
from
thence
to
Constantinople
,
which
Mahomet
tooke
but
in
the
yeere
1453.
Hereby
let
vs
consider
,
in
how
short
a
time
they
may
come
vpon
vs
,
or
vpon
our
children
,
to
whose
good
we
are
to
referre
all
our
labours
:
God
of
his
mercie
keepe
vs
from
this
miserie
:
yet
must
we
thinke
vpon
all
,
and
that
in
time
,
holding
the
Alpes
as
we
doe
,
and
vnited
to
the
Switzers
in
a
sure
league
,
the
greatest
power
in
the
world
is
not
able
to
force
vs
in
a
ground
of
such
aduantage
.
And
this
may
stoppe
the
mouthes
of
some
that
obiect
vnto
vs
the
power
of
Turks
,
to
make
vs
giue
ouer
,
whereas
contrariwise
,
that
is
the
chiefe
matter
that
should
the
rather
mooue
vs
to
the
safe
custodie
of
our
principall
rampier
.
Here
vnto
we
may
adde
,
that
whilest
we
lost
Naples
,
Milan
,
and
Flanders
,
we
did
not
consider
the
Turkes
great
successe
in
the
meane
time
.
When
the
Duke
of
Sauoy
euen
of
late
inuaded
the
Marquizate
,
and
bent
all
his
forces
to
vsurpe
Pronence
and
Dauphine
,
no
man
regarded
whether
the
Infidels
prospered
or
not
:
but
now
that
our
affayres
are
at
a
better
stay
,
&
the
case
altered
,
by
and
by
they
crie
out
,
The
Turke
,
Beware
the
Turke
:
by
these
policies
incroching
vpon
vs
,
when
wee
haue
the
worse
,
and
lingering
and
lulling
vs
asleepe
,
when
our
fortune
smileth
vpon
vs
:
they
haue
made
vs
lose
almost
as
much
as
wee
haue
left
.
Thus
doe
they
dandle
vs
like
children
:
but
let
vs
no
longer
brooke
this
entertainment
;
rather
let
vs
keepe
this
naturall
and
incomparable
rampier
,
that
shall
on
that
side
warrant
and
secure
vs
from
all
sorts
of
enemies
.
The
remainder
of
this
great
Realme
is
bounded
with
the
East
and
West
Seas
,
except
toward
Germany
,
where
our
Germaine
,
francke
and
valiant
brethren
,
men
deuoyde
of
all
malice
,
or
purpose
to
enterprise
,
doe
inhabite
:
vnited
with
them
,
we
shall
at
all
times
so
fiercely
,
and
with
such
courage
defend
our selues
,
that
all
the
world
conspiring
our
ruine
,
shall
not
be
able
to
beare
vs
:
we
neuer
fayled
them
of
helpe
in
their
neede
,
and
therefore
with
great
reason
did
they
account
vs
as
an
arch
pillar
of
their
libertie
,
against
all
that
would
assault
them
.
Neither
haue
we
euer
holden
any
great
warres
against
them
,
except
by
the
policies
and
instigation
of
others
more
politike
,
and
lesse
valiant
then
our selues
,
who
sundrie
times
haue
fleshed
vs
each
against
other
,
to
the
end
to
weaken
both
parts
,
as
our
Histories
doe
testifie
:
but
now
our
eyes
are
open
,
and
these
policies
discouered
and
blowen
vp
:
and
I
doe
certainely
beleeue
,
that
France
and
Germany
were
neuer
greater
friends
then
at
this
day
:
so
as
we
may
say
,
that
God
hath
deliuered
into
our
hands
,
that
which
we
ought
most
feruently
to
defire
,
namely
this
great
bulwarke
against
all
inuasion
:
and
wee
may
truely
say
,
that
this
so
important
a
matter
,
was
our
greatest
want
for
the
accomplishment
of
this
fortresse
.
God
likewise
with
the
eyes
of
his
mercie
hath
looked
vpon
these
poore
Sauoyans
,
that
speake
our
language
,
and
are
our
true
fellow
Countrey
men
,
borne
for
the
most
part
vnder
the
lawfull
Empire
of
our
Kings
,
Francis
the
first
,
and
Henry
the
second
,
who
at
this
day
do
feare
nothing
so
much
,
as
to
returns
vnder
the
proud
dominion
of
the
Piedmontaine
,
whom
they
hate
as
much
,
as
they
honour
and
loue
the
most
excellent
vertues
of
their
true
King
,
at
whose
knees
they
prostrate
themselues
,
that
they
may
not
be
miserably
abandoned
,
sith
God
hath
vouchsafed
,
that
he
that
held
them
so
short
,
hath
shrunk
from
his
word
,
from
whence
may
proceede
the
beginning
of
their
libertie
.
Should
wee
returne
it
into
his
hands
,
we
may
well
thinke
how
these
poore
people
that
were
noted
to
bee
so
ready
to
open
their
gates
to
his
Maiestie
,
shall
bee
tormented
:
besides
that
,
in
so
doing
wee
shal
neuer
find
any
people
willing
to
acknowledge
our
king
,
but
by
extreme
force
:
for
by
that
example
euery
man
shall
see
,
that
in
vs
there
is
no
hold
,
who
make
no
difficultie
to
thrust
out
those
to
the
crueltie
of
our
enemie
,
that
haue
yeelded
themselues
into
his
Maiesties
armes
,
to
liue
and
die
his
most
humb
le
subiects
,
to
whose
preseruation
by
the
law
of
Nations
hee
is
no
lesse
bound
,
then
they
to
obey
his
commandements
in
all
fidelitie
.
It
is
likewise
a
matter
of
great
import
for
the
Kings
seruice
,
with
all
speede
to
roote
out
of
the
mindes
of
his
subiects
in
Sauoy
,
al
doubt
of
passing
away
a
Prouince
of
such
importance
:
for
so
shall
you
soone
see
them
the
more
bold
and
resolute
to
serue
his
Maiestie
in
all
sorts
.
But
some
there
are
,
and
peraduenture
euen
among
our selues
,
who
with
their
coldnesse
,
and
some
speeches
that
slip
them
,
doe
driue
this
poore
people
into
despaire
,
as
imagining
that
we
doe
alreadie
deliuer
them
bound
into
the
hands
of
the
Piedmontaine
.
Well
doe
I
suppose
,
that
the
procurers
of
this
mischiefe
,
do
it
not
maliciously
:
but
some
there
are
both
fearefull
and
too
mistrustfull
,
yet
must
they
bee
gently
admonished
,
to
alter
their
countenance
and
speech
,
and
for
their
more
assurance
,
to
cast
their
eyes
vpon
the
valour
and
good
fortune
of
their
great
King
,
and
of
this
mightie
Empire
,
as
also
vpon
the
ingratitude
and
trecherie
of
our
enemie
,
and
the
iustice
of
this
conquest
.
As
in
truth
,
if
among
all
Nations
reprysals
be
holden
for
a
inft
title
of
Lordship
,
when
one
of
the
two
Soueraignes
is
vnwilling
to
make
restitution
of
things
violently
vsurped
:
If
the
equitie
of
lawfull
warre
,
bee
another
title
throughout
the
world
aduowed
for
iust
,
whereupon
the
greatest
Monarches
are
also
grounded
:
what
man
,
considering
the
enterprises
of
the
House
of
Sauoy
against
that
of
France
,
and
the
Kings
long
patience
before
he
would
enter
into
warres
,
but
must
confesle
his
conquest
to
be
so
iust
,
that
his
Maiestie
hath
as
good
right
to
Sauoy
,
as
to
Paris
it selfe
?
Likewise
,
if
the
Prince
of
Piedmont
by
his
policies
and
mediators
,
should
now
rob
vs
of
the
fruits
of
our
labors
,
and
our
good
fortune
,
what
man
aliue
would
feare
hereafter
to
inuade
vs
,
or
to
falsifie
his
faith
or
word
,
with
ful
resolution
in
all
extremitie
to
follow
his
victorie
(
if
hee
could
obtaine
it
)
when
he
shall
bee
sure
,
being
ouercome
,
alwayes
to
recouer
himselfe
through
the
helpe
of
some
great
mediatour
(
whereof
France
,
to
her
great
hurt
,
was
neuer
destitute
)
as
our
Annales
doe
testifie
,
which
haue
beene
written
principally
to
admonish
nish
vs
to
shunne
the
like
ouersights
?
By
the
same
Histories
doe
we
learne
,
that
the
Monarch
that
pardoneth
his
subiects
,
doth
seldome
repent
it
:
for
they
be
his
children
,
euen
such
as
returning
to
their
duties
,
do
many
times
indeuour
by
notable
seruice
to
make
satisfaction
for
their
former
defaults
,
and
finding
the
discommodities
and
incredible
hindrances
that
they
incurre
by
the
losse
of
their
Princesfauour
,
they
vow
,
and
bind
themselues
for
euer
to
his
seruice
,
and
vtterly
roote
out
all
other
conceits
or
cogitations
out
of
their
mindes
.
But
it
is
farre
otherwise
with
the
Soueraigne
,
who
can
neuer
forget
the
griefe
of
being
ouercome
or
an
incredible
desire
of
reuenge
,
and
continuall
care
to
recouer
the
wants
in
his
estate
,
eyther
to
enter
into
new
leagues
,
and
practises
to
atchieue
the
victorie
in
his
course
,
whereby
the
world
may
be
informed
as
well
of
his
reuenge
,
as
of
his
misfortune
.
The
more
hee
is
bound
to
you
,
the
lesse
will
he
remember
you
:
such
remembrance
will
lie
ouer-heauie
and
intolerable
vpon
his
mind
:
he
wil
,
if
he
can
,
take
you
at
aduantage
,
seeke
by
some
new
quarrel
to
be
freed
from
such
a
wonderfull
and
excessiue
fauor
.
What
must
we
then
do
?
euen
take
from
our
enemie
all
meanes
to
hurt
vs
,
though
he
would
.
And
this
may
we
now
easily
doe
,
if
we
leaue
him
nothing
on
this
side
the
Alpes
,
and
so
crosse
all
his
drifts
for
Lyons
,
where
he
shall
get
small
good
,
by
planting
whole
families
of
his
subiects
at
his
owne
cost
,
to
bee
as
it
were
secret
colonyes
,
when
al
is
gone
on
this
side
the
Mounts
.
Without
Dourlans
,
Amyens
had
neuer
beenetaken
:
Saint
Denys
in
the
end
carried
away
Paris
:
and
had
we
not
giuen
vp
Thurin
,
Carmagnole
had
neuer
beene
lost
.
How
mightily
doe
we
thinke
,
shall
the
Citie
of
Lyons
,
one
of
the
eyes
of
France
,
yea
,
euen
of
Europe
,
the
ordinarie
seate
of
sundrie
Romane
Emperours
,
and
a
place
of
the
greatest
trafficke
in
the
world
,
which
yet
at
this
day
giueth
law
to
all
other
places
,
increase
hereafter
in
wealth
,
and
multitude
of
Citizens
,
being
couered
with
Bresse
and
Sauoy
,
whereas
before
shee
seemed
rather
a
Frontier
towne
,
then
a
Citie
of
the
Realme
?
as
also
in
regard
of
the
multitudes
that
still
arriued
there
from
all
parts
,
and
the
vsuall
passage
of
great
armies
neere
to
her
confines
,
she
was
alwayes
in
danger
to
be
surprized
,
to
the
great
losse
and
incredible
ruine
of
the
whole
estate
?
Euen
this
poynt
is
a
matter
of
great
weight
,
and
worthie
manifold
consideration
:
for
it
is
no
small
matter
to
stop
forraine
armies
,
without
denouncing
of
warre
,
from
making
the
mow
at
such
a
Citie
as
Lyons
,
one
of
the
strongest
in
Christendome
,
and
ofmost
difficult
recouery
,
if
it
should
be
lost
:
wee
cannot
bee
too
iealous
of
such
places
,
neither
too
curious
to
keep
away
all
sorts
of
Courtiers
.
This
proposition
doe
I
hold
,
and
there
of
referre
my selfe
to
all
Captaynes
,
namely
,
that
Lyons
remaining
a
Frontier
town
,
is
one
of
the
easiest
to
be
surprized
,
in
regard
of
the
great
trafficke
,
and
multitude
of
strangers
there
sciourning
,
&
dayly
arriuing
out
of
all
parts
without
suspition
:
which
if
you
ween
to
hinder
,
yee
vndoe
the
towne
:
It
shall
no
longer
bee
Lyons
,
it
must
haue
great
libertie
:
but
standing
at
this
day
so
farre
within
the
Frontiers
,
there
is
no
more
feare
of
it
then
of
Paris
.
I
do
also
hold
this
second
proposition
,
that
Lyons
continuing
a
Frontier
towne
,
is
,
except
Bourdeaux
&
Marseilles
,
the
most
difficult
towne
in
this
land
to
be
recouered
,
if
it
should
be
once
lost
.
Would
not
such
and
so
great
a
blow
,
deserue
the
conclusion
of
the
exchange
propounded
in
the
yeere
of
our
Lord
God
1
5
3

so
necessarie
an
exchange
for
the
passage
of
the
armies
into
the
Low
Countries
?
What
know
wee
what
is
alreadie
determined
betweene
so
neere
kinsmen
?
If
this
should
come
to
passe
,
and
this
mightie
towne
be
obstinately
defended
with
the
whole
forces
of
such
a
neighbour
,
into
what
a
miserable
estate
should
we
be
reduced
?
What
should
become
of
Prouence
and
Dauphine
?
Into
what
a
straight
should
foure
or
fiue
other
great
Prouinces
be
brought
?
Had
any
man
told
vs
twentie
yeeres
agoe
,
that
a
handfull
of
people
should
haue
surprized
Amiens
,
wee
would
not
haue
beleeued
him
,
and
indeede
there
was
lesse
likelihood
:
for
it
was
not
so
begarded
with
forraine
families
as
Lyons
.
It
maketh
mee
to
despaire
,
to
see
men
be
such
cowards
,
and
sometimes
purposely
to
amplifie
the
forces
of
our
aduersaries
,
and
yet
when
afterward
we
come
to
propound
these
great
considerations
,
they
make
but
a
mocke
of
it
:
for
indeed
they
care
not
greatly
.
For
my
part
I
feare
no
open
forces
.
Our
Fathers
haue
seene
in
Prouence
50000.
at
the
least
at
once
,
and
whole
cloudes
of
men
in
Champagne
and
Picardy
:
this
neuer
hurt
them
,
it
made
them
not
so
much
as
afraide
,
so
long
as
the
Realme
was
in
itselfe
at
peace
,
as
now
it
is
.
What
should
I
then
feare
?
euen
practises
,
policies
,
and
surprizes
of
our
Frontier
Townes
,
such
as
Lyons
should
bee
,
if
wee
should
render
Sauoy
:
vnlesse
we
should
think
that
we
should
be
loth
to
break
the
peace
for
Lyons
,
sith
wee
would
not
breake
it
for
Carmagnole
.
I
thinke
indeede
that
on
the
behalfe
,
or
by
his
commaund
that
should
send
his
armies
along
our
frontiers
,
wee
should
not
feare
to
incurre
such
a
storme
(
for
wee
must
still
thinke
,
that
great
Princes
do
make
some
account
of
their
fayth
and
honour
)
yet
might
there
bee
some
Generall
of
the
armie
that
would
gladly
be
spoken
of
,
but
neuer
looke
for
the
answere
that
Sextus
Pompeyus
made
,
saying
,
Thou
shouldst
not
haue
told
me
of
it
.
The
most
that
wee
shall
get
,
he
shall
be
disauowed
:
then
must
he
fortifie
himselfe
.
Hereupon
the
warres
are
kindled
,
but
the
smarting
losse
is
ours
,
which
if
it
once
grow
old
,
they
will
forget
to
doe
vs
right
,
vnlesse
at
the
howre
of
death
in
discharge
of
conscience
:
but
if
yee
looke
for
the
execution
of
the
will
,
yee
must
seeke
your
Iudges
at
Pampelune
.
It
is
therfore
a
great
aduantage
,
to
be
out
of
this
continuall
feare
of
Lyons
:
for
vndoubtedly
,
they
with
whom
we
are
at
this
time
so
threatned
,
are
more
craftie
,
more
close
and
secret
then
wee
,
and
their
drifts
haue
a
further
fetch
.
In
the
field
with
open
force
,
wee
shall
alwayes
beate
them
well
inough
:
had
neither
Germaines
nor
English-men
set
in
footing
,
they
would
neuer
haue
had
the
faces
so
much
as
to
looke
vpon
vs
:
three
hundred
French
horses
will
alwayes
beate
a
thousand
of
theirs
.
And
as
for
foot-men
,
ours
are
of
more
force
,
dexteritie
,
and
contempt
of
death
,
but
lesse
discipline
.
It
lieth
in
our selues
to
remedie
the
last
,
the
rest
proceed
from
nature
,
who
hath
giuen
vs
these
aduantages
,
which
wee
must
not
lose
.
We
can
keepe
them
when
wee
list
:
witnesse
the
Ocean
,
which
euen
this
yeere
hath
seene
our
French
aduentures
,
who
cannot
possibly
be
retained
,
vnlesse
we
should
chaine
vp
all
our
youth
.
For
what
can
we
tell
who
shall
escape
?
they
be
no
troopes
or
garrisons
licensed
at
pleasure
,
so
might
there
be
fraud
:
but
they
be
stragglers
,
comming
some
from
one
place
,
some
from
another
,
the
whole
Nation
being
so
borne
to
the
warres
,
that
they
must
seeke
it
where
it
is
,
or
make
it
among
themselues
.
The
Ocean
,
I
say
,
hath
seene
of
these
mad
fooles
,
that
haue
beaten
the
flower
and
choyse
of
the
best
&
oldest
Captains
&
souldiers
,
whom
we
hold
in
such
esteeme
.
Go
ye
therfore
and
report
in
those
countries
,
that
the
French
foote-men
are
nothing
worth
.
But
who
shall
make
it
as
gallant
,
as
firme
,
and
withall
,
bring
it
into
as
good
discipline
as
it
was
at
Cerisoles
,
if
this
our
great
King
cannot
compasse
it
?
Is
hee
of
lesse
abilitie
then
his
vnckle
,
who
was
but
a
most
faithfull
and
most
profitable
seruant
vnto
him
that
swayed
the
Scepter
and
crowne
which
hee
hath
succeeded
?
Eight
yeeres
had
we
held
Sauoy
and
Piedmont
,
when
the
Lord
of
Anguien
,
vnder
the
command
of
King
Francis
,
wonne
that
glorious
day
,
where
our
foot-men
with
the
push
of
the
pike
,
most
furiously
ouerthrew
all
those
old
triumphant
bands
of
two
parts
of
the
world
,
albeit
they
were
a
third
part
more
then
wee
,
and
so
well
armed
,
that
we
wonne
from
them
eight
thousand
corcelets
.
The
storie
telleth
vs
,
without
the
Conquest
of
Sauoy
,
Fraunce
had
missed
of
that
great
and
stately
triumph
,
as
wanting
wherewith
to
haue
fed
the
armie
one
day
.
Had
this
commodious
a
conquest
been
atchieued
before
the
yeere
of
our
Lord
God
one
thousand
fiue
hundred
twentie
and
foure
,
King
Frauncis
,
who
should
haue
found
himselfe
vpon
the
Marches
of
his
estate
,
neere
to
all
succour
,
treasure
,
and
refreshing
,
had
not
fallen
into
that
calamitie
that
hath
stucke
by
vs
euer
since
.
Very
high
had
he
bin
mounted
,
if
the
Lord
of
Anguyen
had
not
caught
him
by
the
throate
,
that
should
haue
wished
him
to
speake
to
his
Lord
the
King
to
yeelde
vp
Sauoy
:
so
long
is
it
since
this
fatal
&
valiant
race
of
the
Bourbons
was
promised
to
restore
the
eminency
and
perfect
glory
of
the
Flowre
de
Luce.
The
ten
first
yeeres
of
his
raigne
were
spent
in
his
establishment
,
that
was
hindered
by
those
that
alwayes
feared
the
greatnesse
of
this
estate
.
At
his
entrie
into
his
second
tenne
yeeres
,
God
hath
vouchsafed
to
adde
vnto
his
Empire
the
highest
mountaines
in
the
world
,
thereby
to
lift
vp
this
Prince
,
and
to
place
him
in
the
view
of
the
whole
worlde
,
as
the
Grand-childe
of
his
beloued
King
Lewis
the
fifth
.
What
men
be
these
then
,
that
seeking
to
plucke
him
from
his
type
of
glory
,
would
fetch
him
sixe
dayes
iourneyes
backe
againe
,
and
in
one
moment
defeate
him
of
that
great
eminent
and
shining
fame
,
which
shineth
euen
into
the
East
,
atchieued
in
fiue
&
twenty
yeres
,
through
his
so
wonderfull
prowesse
and
famous
victories
,
still
following
his
good
fortune
,
and
proceeding
still
forward
,
without
stumbling
or
retyre
?
Is
it
possible
for
this
mighty
Prince
,
who
was
able
to
conquere
his
Kingdome
with
the
swordes
point
,
now
for
euer
to
defraude
his
memory
of
the
glorie
of
this
increase
,
that
is
of
such
importance
to
his
Crowne
?
In
regarde
of
our selues
now
liuing
,
whatsoeuer
his
Maiestie
doe
ordaine
,
or
whatsoeuer
he
do
,
our
perfect
obedience
,
yea
I
will
say
more
,
our
loue
and
feruent
affection
shall
neuer
quaile
:
But
what
will
the
posteritie
say
,
when
they
shall
heare
of
so
happie
a
conquest
,
and
find
the
inconuenience
of
the
not
keeping
of
the
same
such
inconueniences
as
will
happen
either
first
or
last
,
and
those
very
sharp
?
Let
vs
not
flatter
our selues
:
It
is
hard
to
take
away
the
sobs
,
the
sighs
&
bitter
complaints
from
those
that
feele
the
smart
.
Why
haue
they
not
spoken
?
why
haue
they
not
written
of
the
restitution
of
1559
?
and
yet
in
truth
wee
were
forced
thereto
by
an
extreme
mishap
:
besides
that
almost
all
Europe
was
conspired
against
vs
.
But
who
forceth
vs
now
?
what
colour
?
what
retence
shall
our
historie
find
?
what
excuse
shall
ve
make
to
our
nephewes
,
for
giuing
away
such
an
aduantage
?
Surely
I
see
none
:
all
things
do
smile
vpon
vs
,
and
for
one
that
fretteth
at
our
conquest
,
foure
are
glad
of
it
though
they
say
nothing
.
Such
there
are
that
will
intreat
his
Maiestie
,
and
exhort
him
to
let
go
his
hold
,
yea
&
make
orations
vnto
him
for
the
same
,
that
in
heart
would
be
sorie
to
bee
beleeued
.
Here
will
some
man
aske
,
whether
we
must
alwayes
continue
the
warres
.
Whome
I
wil
aunswere
,
that
France
hath
many
times
beene
driuen
to
peace
,
without
the
recouery
of
Naples
,
Millan
,
or
the
soueraigntie
of
Flanders
.
Why
must
we
then
of
necessitie
,
for
the
making
of
peace
,
restore
that
which
we
haue
so
lawfully
conquered
,
sith
wee
haue
so
often
beene
forced
to
agree
without
recouerie
of
our
owne
?
Is
it
because
Fraunce
is
weaker
then
Piedmont
,
or
that
we
are
such
dolts
,
as
to
thinke
all
things
lawfull
for
others
,
and
nothing
for
our selues
?
Let
our
enemie
beg
peace
if
he
list
,
as
well
as
hee
drew
on
and
prosecuted
the
warre
:
but
it
may
please
his
Maiestie
to
call
to
mind
,
that
it
is
were
requisite
that
prosperitie
should
recompence
aduersitie
:
also
that
he
that
so
playeth
that
hee
may
alwayes
lose
and
neuer
winne
,
will
be
soone
vndone
.
True
it
is
,
that
they
reply
that
so
we
shal
draw
on
a
greater
warre
against
vs
.
But
hereto
we
may
find
a
double
answere
:
First
,
that
it
is
vnlikely
,
that
they
that
haue
so
longed
after
peace
,
a
matter
to
them
as
necessarie
as
profitable
to
vs
,
would
now
breake
it
,
especially
vpon
so
bad
and
base
a
title
as
is
the
Prince
of
Piedmonts
.
The
second
answer
is
this
,
that
sith
our
cause
is
good
,
they
that
we
are
threatned
withall
,
will
neuer
enter
warre
against
vs
,
vnlesse
they
haue
before
resolued
vpon
it
for
other
causes
,
and
motiues
farther
fetcht
:
and
in
that
case
it
is
far
better
for
vs
to
keep
our
aduantage
,
then
to
lose
it
,
and
be
sorie
for
it
when
it
is
too
late
.
Withal
,
that
this
ground
standing
fast
,
that
our
enterprise
is
iust
,
and
consequently
the
conquest
thereof
proceeding
:
If
we
be
so
timerous
as
for
a
threat
cowardly
to
forgoe
that
which
wee
haue
so
lawfully
and
happily
atchieued
,
then
farewell
all
:
there
is
no
more
Frenchman
,
no
more
Gaule
in
the
world
.
For
how
can
any
man
imagine
,
that
this
valiant
nation
,
in
former
times
an
actor
in
all
the
greatest
warres
in
the
world
:
a
nation
that
hath
sought
them
from
one
end
of
the
earth
to
another
:
that
hath
taken
the
imperiall
Citie
of
Constantinople
,
and
forced
the
mightiest
cities
in
the
East
and
South
:
that
feared
nothing
but
the
falling
of
the
skie
,
as
assured
to
ouercome
all
that
should
withstand
,
should
at
this
day
bee
so
degenerate
and
so
quailed
,
as
for
a
Rodomontade
or
Spanish
brag
,
to
abandon
that
which
so
iustly
to
vs
doth
appertaine
?
that
is
to
say
,
should
shew
themselues
so
fearefull
and
such
cowards
,
that
through
the
default
of
his
subiects
hearts
,
aforetime
the
terrour
of
all
nations
,
so
great
a
King
should
not
bee
able
to
keepe
his
owne
conquests
?
But
in
deed
wee
are
farre
from
those
termes
.
For
albeit
our
lamentable
warres
haue
greatly
diminished
vs
,
yet
shall
our
experience
,
valour
and
courage
recompence
the
want
of
our
number
:
besides
that
,
our
head
shall
alwaies
be
counted
for
twentie
thousand
:
hee
is
the
great
Lion
that
guideth
the
lesser
to
the
battell
:
his
soldiers
are
not
counted
by
their
number
,
but
by
their
valour
:
yet
if
need
be
,
and
that
this
Empire
must
stirre
vp
her
stumps
in
earnest
,
we
shall
couer
their
largest
fields
with
soldiers
,
&
make
the
earth
to
tremble
vnder
the
feet
of
our
horses
:
wee
shall
drie
vp
the
riuers
,
and
of
these
old
French
armies
bring
forth
a
hundred
or
two
hundred
thousand
warriors
,
as
gallant
and
couragious
as
euer
were
their
ancestors
:
euen
such
as
will
go
to
the
field
with
as
good
courages
as
others
come
thence
.
Let
no
man
therefore
thinke
to
terrifie
vs
with
such
threates
.
We
seeke
peace
with
euerie
one
but
this
vngrateful
person
,
yet
feare
we
not
the
warre
.
If
any
be
resolued
to
set
vpon
vs
,
we
were
fooles
to
shrinke
backe
:
wee
must
pleade
for
all
,
we
must
defend
all
,
or
rather
march
halfe
the
way
to
meet
with
any
that
would
ioyne
with
this
presumptuous
person
,
who
in
liew
of
humble
reuerence
to
the
Maiestie
of
so
great
a
neighbour
kingdome
,
as
nature
and
wisedome
doe
teach
,
and
all
the
world
do
put
in
practise
,
hath
shewed
himselfe
so
presumptuous
and
desperate
rash
,
as
to
seeke
to
ouerrun
a
great
Lyon
,
who
at
one
sole
lift
is
able
to
squeaze
him
asunder
.
But
these
be
vaine
conceits
,
for
there
is
no
prince
in
the
world
willing
to
rayse
warre
against
vs
,
vpon
so
bad
a
quarrell
as
is
the
Prince
of
Piedmonts
.
Well
may
euery
one
intermeddle
to
agree
vs
,
and
we
will
giue
them
the
hearing
:
For
in
the
midst
of
our
weapons
we
seeke
for
peace
,
yet
in
any
wise
let
vs
remember
two
things
:
First
,
that
wee
brooke
no
delay
whilest
our
wind
bloweth
faire
:
as
our
Kings
Lewes
the
12.
Francis
the
1.
and
Henry
the
2.
alwayes
did
.
Our
histories
do
make
mention
,
and
our
ouersights
are
noted
,
but
when
it
is
too
late
.
It
is
not
ynough
to
be
valiant
in
the
field
:
the
chiefe
point
is
to
be
wise
&
circumspect
in
counsell
.
And
in
that
regard
did
Homer
neuer
commend
any
valiant
Captaine
for
his
courage
,
vnlesse
withall
it
were
accompanied
with
wisedome
,
witnesse
his
speech
of
Agamemnon
:
In
armes
valiant
,
and
in
counsell
discreete
.
So
wise
was
Hercules
,
that
his
valour
was
the
least
part
of
his
glorie
.
This
wisedome
&
this
excellent
counsell
,
so
far
as
it
concernes
the
soueraigne
,
consisteth
not
onely
in
the
well
pitching
of
a
field
;
in
the
furious
assault
of
a
great
citie
by
the
weaker
;
or
in
choosing
the
field
:
but
the
chiefest
skill
is
in
the
knowledge
how
to
vse
the
victorie
and
his
forces
,
and
cutting
off
his
enemie
from
all
means
to
take
heart
again
:
as
also
in
the
forecast
how
to
stop
his
eares
against
the
faire
words
of
certaine
intermeddlers
,
that
seeke
no
more
but
to
hinder
the
course
of
such
prosperitie
as
they
do
suspects
that
so
he
haue
no
cause
to
repent
that
he
beleeued
them
,
and
through
this
beliefe
limited
his
good
fortune
and
conquests
,
and
so
lost
the
occasion
of
assuring
his
frontiers
.
It
concerneth
no
lesse
,
and
so
let
vs
remember
.
Secondly
,
we
must
beware
of
ouerbuying
our
quiet
.
Darius
sent
to
offer
Alexander
part
of
his
Empire
:
but
this
great
Prince
,
the
true
image
and
perfect
patterne
of
all
generosity
,
also
of
curtesie
,
so
long
as
the
same
was
not
preiudiciall
to
his
estate
,
answered
in
one
word
:
Behold
where
thou
findest
me
:
I
haue
alreadie
passed
more
then
he
offereth
:
we
must
speake
either
of
atonement
,
or
fight
for
that
that
is
left
him
:
for
all
that
is
behind
me
,
is
past
compromise
.
And
he
said
truth
,
for
a
great
Captain
neuer
returneth
backe
:
he
that
forsaketh
it
,
is
vnworthie
the
prosperitie
that
God
sendeth
him
:
yet
had
Alexander
to
do
with
so
mightie
an
enemie
,
as
soone
after
met
him
with
a
million
of
men
:
albeit
when
he
made
that
braue
answere
,
he
was
not
ignorant
what
forces
this
mightie
Emperour
of
Persia
might
haue
,
yet
could
he
not
be
terrified
,
because
he
was
Alexander
.
But
had
hee
exchaunged
the
hope
of
his
victorie
with
the
agreement
offered
,
both
bodie
and
fame
had
beene
shut
vp
in
one selfe
tombe
,
whereas
now
contrariwise
while
the
world
lasteth
,
he
shal
still
liue
as
fresh
&
famous
as
when
hee
dyed
.
And
in
truth
wee
must
confesse
either
pusillanimitie
,
or
extreme
weakenes
in
those
that
yeeld
vp
that
which
they
haue
lawfully
conquered
.
But
we
are
(
thanks
be
to
God
)
farre
ynough
from
both
.
For
as
for
feare
,
it
neuer
came
neere
our
Kings
heart
:
for
had
he
had
neuer
so
small
a
spice
thereof
,
he
had
long
since
bin
ouerthrowne
,
and
his
estate
couered
vp
in
darkenes
.
Rather
may
we
say
,
that
so
many
valiant
actes
and
so
many
trophees
,
whereby
he
shineth
as
a
faire
Sunne
ouer
the
face
of
the
earth
,
do
but
burgeon
forth
conceits
of
higher
enterprises
against
all
that
dare
giue
him
good
cause
,
as
hauing
the
hope
of
things
to
come
,
still
fighting
in
his
fancie
with
the
glory
of
things
passed
.
As
for
force
,
it
consisteth
especially
in
money
&
men
:
concerning
the
first
,
the
K.
treasures
well
husbanded
,
as
they
are
wil
go
farther
than
men
ween
for
:
forren
war
doth
somewhat
helpe
to
maintaine
it selfe
.
True
it
is
,
that
it
is
now
high
time
to
begin
(
sith
to
our
great
detriment
,
we
did
it
not
sooner
)
I
say
to
begin
yeerly
to
spare
3.
millions
of
gold
,
which
we
do
wretchedly
consume
in
silkes
which
wee
neede
not
,
whereas
our
neighbours
cannot
forbeare
so
many
of
our
commodities
necessary
for
mans
life
,
which
to
vs
are
in
stead
of
mines
of
gold
and
siluer
.
This
done
,
wee
shall
growe
into
abundance
of
wealth
:
for
as
the
Philosopher
saith
,
Nature
is
neuer
no
loser
:
because
that
that
which
commeth
forth
of
one
place
,
reentreth
into
another
:
euen
so
the
expences
of
this
Realme
do
stand
vs
in
nothing
.
The
3.
millions
,
which
we
so
miserably
for
lacke
of
forecast
,
or
rather
for
want
of
wit
,
doe
yeerely
waste
vpon
wormes
worke
,
through
the
enchanting
speeches
of
such
as
reape
the
benesite
thereof
,
doe
more
empouerish
this
estate
in
6.
moneths
,
then
6.
yeres
of
forren
war
.
Powder
,
Cannon
thot
,
and
most
part
of
our
weapons
are
made
in
the
land
,
&
so
cost
vs
little
to
speake
of
.
The
souldiers
pay
returneth
to
the
hands
of
the
K.
receyuers
,
to
whom
the
commons
that
haue
earned
it
with
their
labor
&
cunning
,
do
returne
for
their
taxes
.
Any
man
that
list
to
deale
with
vs
,
shall
haue
more
neede
of
forraine
souldiours
then
wee
,
and
all
things
reckoned
,
must
spend
more
duckets
then
we
testornes
,
and
so
see
the
bottom
of
his
purse
sooner
then
wee
.
Were
wee
to
be
assaulted
by
such
as
had
a
hundred
millions
ready
gathered
,
the
danger
were
the
greater
:
but
if
wee
haue
any
discommoditie
,
they
that
we
are
threatned
with
,
are
in
necessitie
,
and
in
farre
lesse
credite
then
wee
,
as
being
long
since
with
all
their
partakers
,
drawen
drie
,
through
their
incredible
expences
continued
these
34.
yeeres
,
which
their
last
mishap
must
force
them
to
redouble
,
or
to
lose
all
.
Were
we
throughly
acquainted
with
their
bullion
,
we
should
find
that
they
are
rather
to
stand
in
feare
of
vs
,
then
we
of
them
;
also
that
he
that
threatneth
most
,
is
in
most
feare
.
As
for
multitude
of
men
,
the
conceiued
opinion
that
the
King
at
this
time
would
haue
no
more
,
together
with
the
collection
of
the
fruits
of
a
fruitfull
yeere
,
and
the
beginning
of
winter
,
detained
a
number
in
their
houses
.
But
if
his
Maiestie
should
earnestly
call
for
assistance
,
and
giue
out
that
he
would
find
meanes
to
discerne
the
house-birds
from
the
true
Gentlemen
,
whose
seruice
he
would
haue
truely
recorded
,
to
be
monthly
sent
to
his
Parliaments
and
Chambers
of
accounts
,
that
thither
hee
might
hereafter
haue
recourse
;
wee
should
soone
see
our
armies
increase
,
with
an
incredible
number
of
Gentlemen
,
who
would
be
loth
in
themselues
or
their
posteritie
,
to
beare
so
shamefull
a
badge
,
as
is
the
abandoning
of
their
King
and
Countrey
in
time
of
neede
,
especially
,
in
so
iust
and
honourable
a
warre
,
whereto
from
all
parts
both
great
and
small
haue
recourse
.
No
man
can
complaine
of
such
remembrances
,
as
do
consecrate
to
the
posteritie
,
the
names
and
valour
of
those
,
that
as
the
true
children
of
their
gallant
ancestors
,
haue
hasted
to
the
place
,
whither
the
presence
of
their
King
,
and
glory
of
their
Countrey
hath
called
them
.
Hee
that
would
bee
an
vnprofitable
seruant
to
his
Prince
,
and
yet
misliketh
that
he
should
be
knowne
,
seeketh
to
confound
labour
with
idlenesse
,
valour
with
cowardize
,
and
the
forsaker
of
his
countrie
with
the
true
Gentleman
,
that
alwayes
considereth
in
what
regard
his
ancestors
had
their
lands
giuen
them
,
with
freedome
from
such
charges
as
other
Citizens
doe
beare
.
To
be
briefe
,
he
indeuoureth
to
make
a
mixture
of
all
vice
,
with
the
rarest
vertues
:
yea
,
so
dangerous
a
mixture
,
that
the
greatest
obseruers
of
antiquitie
,
whose
principles
wee
haue
to
our
cost
tryed
to
bee
most
true
,
doe
agree
,
that
when
such
confusions
take
place
,
in
whatsoeuer
forme
of
gouernment
,
the
same
are
an
infallible
token
,
that
that
estate
is
extreme
sicke
:
yet
if
it
be
in
a
Monarchy
,
the
cure
is
both
readie
and
certaine
.
For
the
Prince
may
speedily
reestablish
vertue
in
her
eminencie
,
and
so
open
the
deformitie
and
shame
of
her
contrarie
,
that
for
one
of
his
subiects
that
continue
in
this
filth
,
hee
shall
find
tenne
thousand
hasting
to
that
glorie
,
wherwith
it
may
please
the
soueraigne
to
note
the
affection
,
courage
,
and
trauailes
of
his
faithfull
seruants
:
neither
shall
we
want
men
,
yea
,
as
braue
men
as
euer
the
earth
bare
.
But
in
any
wise
,
ridde
me
from
these
men
that
depend
vpon
our
enemies
wages
,
whose
onely
care
resteth
in
daily
writing
from
the
army
,
that
peace
is
concluded
,
that
is
to
say
,
that
no
man
must
come
.
My selfe
doe
know
,
that
this
policie
hath
within
these
two
moneths
detained
a
hundred
Gentlemen
within
tenne
league
about
the
house
of
my
abode
:
yet
haue
we
one
rule
in
Monarchie
vndoubtedly
true
,
namely
,
that
it
is
in
the
King
onely
to
thinke
vpon
peace
,
when
he
thinks
it
profitable
for
his
estate
,
and
in
the
subiects
no
farther
to
trouble
themselues
,
but
to
keepe
their
hands
nimble
,
and
their
swords
sharp
,
according
to
the
saying
of
Aemilius
,
and
to
vse
no
communication
but
of
weapons
,
of
horses
,
and
of
warre
,
after
it
is
once
proclaimed
.
This
is
it
that
maketh
a
Prince
to
bee
feared
,
yea
,
this
is
it
that
maketh
him
condiscend
vnto
profitable
peace
,
when
he
findeth
that
the
heate
of
his
subiects
,
boyling
in
a
burning
desire
to
fight
,
must
bee
restrained
.
Let
vs
peruse
our
Histories
,
and
we
shal
find
,
that
this
great
Monarchy
was
founded
,
augmented
,
and
preserued
,
not
by
luke-warme
and
effeminate
humours
,
but
by
valour
and
generositie
,
by
entring
into
ferraine
warres
,
not
for
threates
,
but
for
benefite
and
aduantage
.
Ciuill
and
intestine
warres
haue
sundrie
times
,
and
twice
within
these
two
hundred
yeres
,
brought
it
to
the
poynt
of
destruction
,
other
warres
neuer
shooke
it
:
but
contrariwise
,
haue
euer
beene
holden
as
an
exercise
of
our
principall
profession
,
and
as
the
substance
and
theatre
of
our
glory
.
For
as
Lycurgus
referred
all
his
lawes
to
the
warre
:
and
as
the
Romanes
made
their
vaunts
,
that
they
were
not
acquainted
with
any
other
arts
or
occupations
,
but
left
than
all
to
their
subiects
,
as
vnworthie
themselues
,
so
our
ancestors
,
inured
to
the
natures
of
this
war-like
Nation
,
did
vtterly
reiect
from
all
succession
to
the
crowne
,
that
sexe
which
they
thought
vnfit
to
leade
the
French-men
to
the
warres
,
and
withall
,
established
the
foundation
of
this
Empire
,
vpon
the
force
of
armes
,
and
the
perfection
of
militarie
knowledge
,
the
most
generous
of
all
,
and
most
noble
,
as
well
in
the
cause
as
in
the
end
.
Through
the
excellencie
of
this
Art
,
the
Romanes
ouercame
the
multitude
of
the
Cymbrians
,
the
force
and
craft
of
the
Affricans
,
the
wisedome
and
policie
of
the
Grecians
,
and
the
riches
and
power
of
Asia
.
But
when
they
went
about
to
alter
their
braue
and
valorous
principles
,
and
in
liew
of
Iron
to
vse
gold
,
flatterie
for
commaundement
,
treaties
for
battailes
,
and
composition
in
steade
of
victories
and
triumphs
▪
the
resplendent
Maiestie
of
this
mightie
Empire
withered
,
the
fame
thereof
vanished
,
the
subiects
feare
changed
into
contempt
,
and
the
reuerence
of
the
Neighbours
into
dension
.
And
it
was
with
all
men
,
as
with
the
Nations
,
which
beforetime
trembled
at
the
viewe
of
the
Romane
Magistrates
:
but
when
they
saw
themselues
renting
and
dismembring
their
Empire
,
they
also
set
vpon
them
,
and
assaulted
them
euen
in
their
Capitoll
,
which
they
haue
so
often
and
so
miserably
sacked
and
razed
,
that
now
there
remaineth
no
more
but
the
sole
tombe
and
cinders
thereof
.
Let
vs
beware
that
wee
fall
not
in
the
like
fault
,
and
that
we
alter
not
our
old
principles
,
both
bold
,
couragious
,
and
in
a
word
,
right
French
,
into
their
contraryes
;
and
withall
,
let
vs
remember
,
that
so
soone
as
we
,
like
women
,
shall
beginne
to
quaile
at
the
threate
of
some
great
warre
,
wee
shall
see
our selues
enuironed
round
about
,
euerie
man
will
ouer-runne
vs
,
one
will
plucke
at
the
one
side
,
another
at
the
other
,
and
wee
shall
bee
the
contempt
and
scorne
of
the
children
of
those
that
could
not
,
without
trembling
,
heare
any
speech
of
our
fore-fathers
.
Yet
doe
I
not
say
,
that
we
should
preferre
a
continuall
warre
before
a
wished
peace
,
which
through
Gods
goodnes
,
and
the
valour
and
wisedome
of
our
great
King
,
wee
doe
at
this
day
enioy
with
all
men
,
except
this
vngratefull
person
,
that
hath
infringed
his
promise
and
fayth
:
but
rather
to
confirme
our
first
proposition
,
namely
,
That
being
iustly
grounded
in
this
warre
,
and
the
Conquest
being
both
iust
,
lawfull
,
and
most
profitable
to
our
estate
,
neither
threate
,
nor
any
other
consideration
,
should
make
vs
to
giue
ouer
that
which
we
hold
,
or
to
steppe
one
foote
backe
againe
.
If
wee
can
firme
our selues
in
these
principles
replenished
with
equitie
,
glorie
,
and
honour
,
and
bee
resolued
couragiously
to
set
vpon
any
that
would
intrude
into
so
wrongfull
warre
against
vs
,
wee
should
euen
against
the
whole
world
,
releeue
the
auncient
glorie
of
this
mightie
Empire
,
yea
,
wee
should
giue
them
to
vnderstand
,
that
it
is
not
good
meddling
with
France
in
her
afflictions
:
also
that
either
first
or
last
,
God
,
who
fauoureth
her
as
the
chiefe
crowne
of
those
that
are
baptized
in
his
name
,
will
enable
her
to
bee
quit
with
her
enemies
.
To
be
briefe
,
that
she
knoweth
how
to
liue
in
peace
with
those
that
account
of
her
amitie
and
alliance
,
and
to
treade
downe
all
such
as
will
attempt
against
her
glorie
and
honour
.
Thus
haue
we
finished
this
discourse
,
and
yet
the
principall
is
behind
,
that
is
,
most
feruently
to
pray
vnto
the
heauenly
goodnesse
,
so
to
vouchsafe
to
touch
the
heart
of
our
King
,
that
he
will
courteously
heare
,
and
at
length
yeeld
to
a
most
humble
petition
,
which
our
iust
feare
of
extreme
perill
hath
wrested
,
not
out
of
my
heart
and
penne
onely
,
but
out
of
the
hearts
and
mouthes
of
all
his
subiects
.
The
Petition
.
SIr
,
your self
are
as
wel
acquainted
with
al
worldly
affaires
,
I
wil
not
say
as
any
Prince
,
but
as
any
man
in
Europe
▪
how
is
it
then
possible
,
that
you
should
not
conceiue
the
principall
drifts
of
your
enemies
▪
If
you
please
attentiuely
to
consider
,
you
shal
vndoubtedly
find
,
that
their
great
hope
is
built
vpon
your
tombe
,
whom
they
see
so
extreme
aduenturous
,
that
euery
houre
,
yea
,
euery
moment
,
they
hearken
after
that
desired
newes
,
euen
the
type
of
all
their
vowes
.
Cut
them
off
,
Sir
,
from
this
hope
,
by
a
moderation
worthie
your
glory
already
atchieued
,
worthie
the
Imperiall
throne
whereto
God
hath
exalted
you
,
and
worthie
the
extreme
necessitie
that
all
your
France
,
and
all
your
confederates
haue
of
the
preseruation
of
your
life
.
So
shall
your
Maiestie
immediatly
see
the
weapons
droppe
out
of
your
enemies
hands
,
all
their
deuices
confounded
,
and
their
drifts
dispersed
.
Indeed
,
Sir
,
we
are
to
confesse
,
that
hitherto
this
great
contempt
of
danger
was
necessarie
for
the
reestablishment
of
your
estate
,
which
was
so
sicke
,
as
vsuall
remedies
could
neuer
haue
recouered
it
.
It
was
requisite
to
aduenture
farther
,
then
stood
with
any
discourse
of
militarie
reason
,
to
execute
before
deliberation
,
and
with
extraordinarie
and
more
then
humane
confidence
to
plunge
your selfe
among
many
dangers
,
yea
euen
the
dangers
of
death
,
But
God
enuironed
you
with
his
Angels
:
for
it
was
no
rashnes
,
but
perfect
valiancie
.
But
now
sir
,
that
he
hath
graced
you
with
the
restitution
of
your
kingdome
,
quiet
and
in
peace
:
also
that
your
Maiestie
haue
the
assistance
of
so
many
great
Princes
,
and
excellent
Captains
,
(
almost
all
trained
vp
at
your
owne
hand
)
and
of
these
,
braue
French
horsmen
,
so
famous
&
so
feared
throughout
the
world
,
followed
with
the
great
squadrons
of
thundring
legions
,
replenished
with
yong
and
gallant
nobilitie
,
who
burne
with
an
incredible
desire
to
ioyne
&
ouerthrow
your
enemies
in
a
pitched
field
,
in
case
they
dare
stand
you
,
or
proudly
to
assault
some
strong
fortresse
.
Seeing
your selfe
also
entred
into
such
and
so
mightie
alliances
as
neuer
any
king
your
predecessor
was
the
like
:
Is
it
not
time
,
sir
,
that
the
same
affection
to
your
subiects
that
caried
you
into
all
these
hazards
,
should
now
make
you
to
reserue
your selfe
to
such
as
are
worthie
of
your
Maiestie
?
If
a
king
,
said
Theophrastus
,
must
needes
die
in
the
warres
,
let
him
die
like
a
king
:
that
is
to
say
,
in
some
fierce
and
bloodie
battell
,
enuironed
with
all
the
gallant
,
noble
&
braue
men
of
his
estate
:
let
him
be
drowned
in
some
maine
sea
of
his
enemies
bloud
,
mixed
with
the
bloud
of
his
owne
soldiers
,
and
neuer
be
slaine
as
some
meane
Captaine
at
the
siege
of
some
towne
,
or
in
some
skirmish
:
For
so
should
his
glorie
and
triumphes
bee
so
farre
from
increase
,
that
they
should
euen
wither
and
decay
:
witnesse
that
great
&
couragious
Captaine
,
that
thought
himselfe
greatly
disgraced
,
in
that
a
quarrel
shot
out
of
Samos
,
light
neere
him
:
wherewith
had
he
beene
slaine
,
his
armie
through
his
default
had
stood
as
a
bodie
without
a
head
at
the
enemies
mercy
,
to
the
reproach
and
ruine
of
his
countrey
.
But
as
the
excellent
Archimedes
,
by
planting
his
engines
,
threw
more
darts
&
shot
at
the
Romanes
,
then
all
the
rest
of
the
Siracusans
together
:
euen
so
your
Maiestie
,
beeing
the
soule
infused
into
the
veynes
,
sinewes
,
&
arteries
of
this
great
body
,
and
proud
preparation
for
warres
,
and
kindling
the
courages
of
all
his
Captaines
and
souldiers
,
doth
alone
make
all
hands
to
walke
,
all
Cannons
to
rore
,
and
all
the
swords
of
his
armie
to
cut
.
Assure
your selfe
therfore
,
Sir
,
that
if
you
wil
vouchsafe
to
yeeld
to
the
feruent
supplications
&
teares
of
all
your
subiects
,
that
prostrate
themselues
at
your
feet
,
onely
to
obtaine
this
sole
request
,
as
the
fulnesse
of
their
felicitie
,
and
so
take
from
them
this
extreme
feare
and
incomparable
terror
,
which
onely
doth
freeze
the
bloud
of
all
your
souldiours
;
you
shall
reuiue
their
courages
,
and
maruailously
cheere
vp
their
forces
,
as
knowing
,
that
so
long
as
your
person
are
in
safetie
from
so
many
Cannons
leueled
at
your
heart
,
the
affayres
of
your
Fraunce
,
euen
of
your
warlike
Fraunce
,
will
prosper
and
grow
from
better
to
better
:
and
contrariwise
,
your
enemies
that
cannot
stand
and
beare
vp
themselues
but
vpon
this
cowardly
&
cursed
hope
,
seeing
themselues
fallen
from
the
same
,
shall
find
their
destruction
,
and
that
they
are
in
worse
estate
,
then
if
they
had
lost
tenne
battailes
.
Doing
this
,
Sir
,
you
shall
surmount
your selfe
,
which
is
the
most
difficult
,
gallant
,
and
glorious
victorie
of
all
other
,
and
withall
,
by
this
great
poynt
of
discretion
,
crowne
all
your
triumphs
and
trophees
,
whose
glorie
and
fame
shall
neuer
be
limited
,
but
with
the
bounds
of
the
earth
,
and
all
eternitie
;
and
besides
,
Sir
,
you
shall
reserue
your
anoynted
〈…〉
to
infinite
Garlands
of
great
victories
,
yet
due
to
your
good
fortune
,
which
it
hath
pleased
God
to
giue
you
,
for
a
faithful
companion
to
your
Heroycall
and
excellent
vertue
.
