Touching

Article

beginning

First
it
is
said
,
that
the
libertie
,
&c.
SEeing
that
the
whole
substance
of
the
Article
,
onely
retaineth
this
point
,
that
the
countrey
after
fortie
yeares
times
of
warre
may
be
brought
to
peace
and
freedome
:
it
is
before
all
other
things
necessary
,
that
the
soueraigntie
may
be
declared
and
set
downe
,
with
sufficient
,
cleare
,
and
no
doubtfull
words
,
in
regard
that
the
King
of
Spaine
may
otherwise
at
all
times
seeke
his
aduantage
.
Now
euery
man
that
is
of
a
sound
iudgement
,
may
well
vnderstand
,
that
the
words
which
men
seeke
to
make
vs
beleeue
,
do
in
no
sort
containe
nor
include
that
which
we
desire
.
For
we
seek
not
,
neither
is
there
any
need
of
declaring
or
manifesting
of
our
freedome
,
or
of
a
free
state
,
because
that
we
were
alwayes
free
vnder
our
Princes
that
lawfully
ruled
ouer
vs
according
to
the
lawes
and
priuiledges
of
these
countries
,
but
wholy
to
get
out
of
the
long
and
continuall
warre
that
hath
bin
holden
therein
.
Therefore
it
is
requisite
that
our
aduerse
parties
should
clearely
set
downe
their
meaning
,
that
they
promise
neuer
to
pretend
any
thing
touching
the
soueraigntie
of
these
countries
.
For
without
that
,
we
can
haue
no
hope
at
any
time
to
liue
peaceably
,
as
by
all
resolutions
made
touching
this
proposition
,
it
was
manifestly
vnderstood
:
otherwise
that
which
they
promise
vnto
vs
,
without
the
said
declaration
,
serues
to
no
other
end
,
then
to
depend
vpon
pretences
,
and
to
bring
these
countries
vnder
subiection
,
and
the
rather
,
because
the
words
,
not
to
pretend
any
thing
touching
our
freedome
,
take
not
away
the
pretence
touching
the
soueraigntie
,
in
respect
that
the
freedome
and
the
soueraigntie
are
two
seuerall
things
;
and
withall
that
whatsoeuer
is
contained
in
the
treatie
,
doth
expire
with
the
ending
of
the
truce
.
So
that
the
whole
Treatie
,
after
it
is
expired
,
is
esteemed
as
not
to
haue
bin
made
,
vnlesse
the
continuance
of
the
point
for
euer
might
be
expresly
vrged
;
and
the
rather
,
for
that
the
Popes
Nuncios
lying
in
France
,
and
the
Iesuites
vse
all
the
meanes
they
can
,
to
the
end
that
this
forme
set
downe
by
the
Ambassadours
,
might
be
found
to
be
good
and
sufficient
,
therefore
also
this
word
for
euer
ought
the
rather
to
be
required
,
in
regard
that
in
treaties
of
peace
commonly
there
is
an
article
inserted
,
that
the
same
shall
continue
for
euer
.
But
for
that
in
a
treatie
of
truce
,
the
words
for
euer
are
not
set
downe
,
thereby
the
soueraigntie
also
is
pretended
to
end
and
to
cease
with
the
expiration
of
the
truce
.
And
the
States
meaning
is
,
that
the
soueraigntie
shall
continue
for
euer
;
but
the
Deputies
of
the
Archduke
haue
roundly
and
manifestly
declared
the
contrary
,
that
is
,
that
their
Masters
vnderstand
that
the
same
shall
continue
no
longer
then
the
time
of
the
truce
.

knowing
manifestly
that
we

but
herein
it
is
spoken
of
ceasing
from

of

which
cannot

vnlesse

For

the

that

That

expressed
,
in
respect
of
the
nature
of

which

all
ceaseth

the
declaration
that

generall
assembly
of

Lords

States
vpon
the
28
of
this
moneth
(
when
they
propounded
and
deliuered
the
Articles

)
that
they
had
done
all
that

they
could

continued

We

manifestly
sheweth
a
notable
contradiction
,
that
is
,
that
the
forme
set

be
holden

,

rather
that
they
do
it
by
a
manner
of

leauing
it
vnto

And
which
is
more
,
not
onely
the
Archdukes
are
to
hold
their
promises
,
but
also
the
King
of
Spaine
hath
expresly
promised
by
his
act
of
aggregation
,
bearing
date
the
18

to
attaine
his

for
that
in

beginning
of

he
hath
sought
by
bribes
to
bring
the

to
effect
:
and
Lipsius
letter
sufficiently
sheweth
,
how
much
the
subiects
are
to
doubt
of
their
soueraigntie
;
and
without
hauing
the
full
soueraigntie
,
these
countries
in
that
respect
shal
be
brought
into
the
state
of
subiection

we
were
deceiued

The
example
of

&c.
THis
comparison
is
altogether
vnlikely

for
the
Switzers
made
a
Truce
with
an
Earle
of
Habsburch
,
against
whom
in
foure

twentie
yeares
they

to

haue

with
the
mightiest
King
in
Europe

with
whom
,
in

offences
,
we
are
vnreconcileable

As

the
example

downe
in
the
proposition
of

Ambassadors
touching
Christiernus
King
of
Denmarke
,
is
here
of
no
force

it
was
an
electiue
kingdome
,
wherein
the
son
doth
not
succeed
the

IF
in

any

should

the

whereas
to

the
hurt

misfortunes
that

are

as
by

by

the

without

Therefore
our

to

secured

by
