From
Constantinople
.
WHereas
you
haue
a
long
time
expected
some
relation
of
newes
,
and
discourses
concerning
the
affaires
of
Europe
;
alas
,
you
must
consider
what
you
doe
,
when
you
come
into
a
well
furnished
Garden
,
you
see
the
frost
and
the
snow
hath
nipped
the
flowers
,
and
there
is
scarce
any
appearance
either
of
sweet
herbes
or
flourishing
plants
:
only
the
roots
remaine
safe
in
the
ground
,
and
peraduenture
at
the
spring
through
the
warmth
of
the
Sunne
,
and
the
nature
of
the
soile
assume
as
it
were
new
life
,
and
shew
forth
some
beautifull
hansomnesse
,
so
hath
the
winter
delt
with
the
affaires
of
Europe
,
the
Souldiers
haue
beene
glad
of
refreshing
,
and
the
Princes
taken
care
to
make
them
strong
with
ease
and
quietnesse
,
but
now
the
Spring
comming
forward
,
and
the
storme
of
cold
ouer-blowne
,
you
shall
see
peraduenture
the
roots
to
receiue
a
strange
freshnesse
,
and
new
businesse
,
shew
you
a
face
both
of
terrour
and
pleasure
:
till
when
I
will
be
bold
to
vnseale
certaine
Letters
which
shall
tell
you
of
certaine
well
manured
grounds
,
which
euen
this
winter
haue
brought
forth
some
flowers
,
and
simple
although
they
proue
Antipathies
in
nature
to
some
constitutions
:
the
Letters
then
from
Constantinople
assure
vs
thus
much
,
that
whereas
Daout
Bashaw
,
the
setter
vp
of
Mustapha
,
after
the
strangling
of
Osman
,
who
had
married
one
of
the
daughters
of
the
Empresse
,
proiected
not
onely
the
gouernement
of
the
Empire
,
but
the
ouerruling
of
the
Emperour
:
yea
peraduenture
the
aduancing
of
his
posterity
to
the
throne
of
Othoman
,
by
foisting
in
a
sonne
of
his
own
,
and
then
to
strangle
the
yong
brothers
of
Osman
,
and
so
to
follow
with
the
death
of
Mustapha
.
The
new
Viceer
,
called
Huzein
Bashaw
,
comming
from
Gran
Cairo
,
as
a
giuer
of
Antidotes
to
the
poison
of
these
turmoiles
,
had
no
better
meanes
to
adnance
the
frame
of
his
greatnesse
,
then
to
call
Daout
Bashaw
&
the
Empresse
in
question
for
so
perfidious
a
plot
,
and
dangerous
a
treason
:
The
woman
either
transformed
her selfe
,
and
so
was
obscured
:
or
corrupted
the
Officers
of
State
,
&
so
was
remitted
;
or
confessed
all
to
the
principall
Mufty
,
and
so
was
pardoned
.
But
the
Bashaw
,
the
Ianisaries
not
enduring
his
Apology
,
was
presently
cut
in
pieces
:
so
that
Mustapha
after
many
changes
is
now
in
the
hands
of
Huzein
Bashaw
,
who
taking
example
by
the
former
affrightings
,
hideth
as
yet
his
panther
taients
of
policy
concerning
the
augmentation
of
his
owne
honour
,
and
falleth
directly
to
the
setting
vpright
the
staggering
Common-wealth
,
and
adding
as
it
were
a
tincture
to
the
beauty
of
the
Othoman
glory
,
wherein
he
hath
proceeded
in
such
a
manner
,
and
with
so
rare
a
discipline
,
that
when
hee
sacrificed
as
it
were
200.
Ianisaries
,
who
had
beene
delinquents
in
the
murther
to
the
ghost
of
Osman
,
all
the
rest
endured
the
punishment
and
gaue
a
plaudit
to
his
loyalty
.
Mustapha
in
the
meane
time
sits
like
a
shadow
,
and
is
glad
of
the
peace
which
Huzein
Bashaws
gouernment
hath
established
,
louing
him
because
he
hath
effected
the
obseruation
of
the
Souldiers
toward
him
,
and
fearing
himselfe
because
he
hath
already
seene
what
the
malignity
of
time
hath
done
,
and
the
insolent
Souldier
is
ready
to
put
in
practice
.
For
euen
the
other
day
when
the
people
were
distasted
with
Mustaphus
pusillanimity
,
and
remembred
the
heroicke
sprightfulnesse
of
murthered
Osman
,
when
they
heard
of
the
tumults
of
Asia
,
and
the
suspicious
reuolts
of
the
Bashawes
of
Aleppo
and
Babylon
,
when
some
had
whispered
in
their
eares
,
O
what
a
difference
is
there
betweene
the
magnanimous
countenance
and
maiesticall
presence
of
Osman
,
and
the
deiected
aspect
of
Mustapha
,
who
men
would
iudge
to
be
fitter
for
a
Monastry
then
a
Palace
;
or
to
pray
in
a
Cel
rather
then
rule
in
a
Throne
:
they
suddenly
called
for
the
sight
of
Osmans
brethren
,
who
very
politikely
without
any
delay
Huzein
Bashaw
brought
out
of
the
Serali●
,
and
aduanced
in
the
Hippodrame
,
assuring
the
souldiers
,
that
neither
it
was
Mustaphaes
pleasure
,
nor
any
motiues
of
Superiours
,
either
to
obscure
them
or
disappoint
them
:
onely
there
was
reason
by
no
meanes
to
dislocate
Mustapha
now
raigning
,
considering
their
young
yeeres
,
and
the
suspitious
troubles
of
the
confining
Princes
.
For
if
any
new
tumults
should
arise
out
of
the
aduantages
of
disorder
,
God
knowes
what
the
Persian
might
doe
in
Asia
and
Arabia
,
and
the
Emperour
and
King
of
Poland
in
Hungary
and
Transiluania
,
considering
they
had
already
thriued
against
their
enemies
on
euery
side
:
therefore
he
commanded
them
to
quietnesse
and
silence
,
and
demand
of
him
an
account
of
the
Princes
,
when
occasion
should
serue
.
In
this
manner
was
his
wisdome
so
seasonable
,
that
the
flames
of
this
new
sedition
were
delicately
quenched
:
the
Princes
returned
to
the
pallace
:
Mustapha
established
in
the
Throne
,
himselfe
preuailed
with
their
good
opinion
,
and
the
whole
body
of
the
Ianizaries
recouered
from
the
growing
infection
of
reuolts
and
disorder
,
so
that
the
city
was
suddenly
quieted
,
and
all
good
gouernement
obserued
.
Much
about
this
time
,
which
was
in
October
last
,
some
will
haue
the
Persian
Embassador
to
ariue
;
as
well
to
gratefie
the
new
enthronized
Mustapha
,
as
to
renew
the
old
and
customary
treaties
of
peace
:
some
againe
say
there
was
no
new
Embassador
,
but
that
the
Ligier
there
,
had
seuerall
directions
from
Persia
,
both
to
present
the
Emperor
certaine
gifts
,
and
to
gratefie
the
Viceer
for
his
indulgent
care
ouer
the
Common-wealth
,
in
so
dangerous
and
suspitious
times
of
innouation
.
And
also
to
associate
himselfe
with
the
English
Embassador
,
and
present
him
with
a
Target
of
gold
,
and
other
gifts
in
behalfe
of
the
Sophy
his
Lord
,
and
by
reason
of
the
seruices
,
the
English
had
done
him
at
Ormus
,
who
thereupon
tooke
a
conuenient
time
,
and
by
way
of
Visitation
came
vnto
him
,
vsing
these
or
the
like
speeches
.
My
Lord
I
am
commissioned
from
my
great
Master
,
Thus
by
degrees
they
won
the
Iland
,
and
expulsed
the
Portugals
out
of
the
Towne
,
nothing
remaining
but
the
fortified
Castle
,
which
was
detained
but
a
while
;
for
the
defendants
foreseeing
an
vtter
destruction
by
holding
out
,
considering
our
Persians
were
euery
where
so
malitious
and
violent
against
them
,
gained
the
sauing
of
their
liues
by
orderly
composition
,
and
so
quite
abandoned
the
place
,
and
we
were
quickly
masters
of
all
;
which
without
flattery
or
other
insinuation
,
it
pleaseth
my
great
Master
to
attribute
to
the
wisdome
and
vnmatchable
valour
of
the
English
,
and
for
which
he
hath
recompenced
euery
man
according
to
his
deseruing
,
and
is
contented
that
the
trafficke
for
Silke
shal
remaine
free
to
the
English
,
and
halfe
the
customes
of
the
Towne
and
Iland
of
Ormus
be
as
it
were
a
yeerely
compensation
to
the
East
India
Company
at
your
City
of
London
.
And
thus
much
for
Constantinople
.
From
Poland
.
You
haue
often
heard
how
the
Tartars
and
Cossacks
of
Bogdonia
and
Poland
liue
for
the
most
part
vpon
spoile
and
robberies
of
Merchants
,
except
the
wars
imploy
them
,
or
they
imploy
themselues
to
the
seruices
of
other
Princes
,
which
custome
it
seemes
they
still
retain
:
for
euen
the
other
day
as
bad
men
(
though
enemies
)
soone
agree
to
commit
outrages
,
&
any
villanie
to
enrich
themselues
:
so
did
they
combine
to
forrage
into
Russia
,
and
went
so
farre
,
and
preuailed
so
well
,
that
if
an
embucy
from
Mosio
had
not
acquainted
King
Sigismond
with
the
mischiefe
and
forcible
attempts
they
had
questionlesse
kindled
a
fire
which
a
great
deale
of
water
could
not
haue
quenched
:
but
thus
disappointed
at
that
time
,
and
vnderstanding
of
a
truce
and
limited
peace
betweene
the
King
of
Poland
and
King
of
Sweden
,
and
that
also
the
Emperour
of
Germany
,
though
there
were
great
preparations
for
warre
,
was
vnwilling
to
entertaine
them
,
or
to
indure
their
vnrulinesse
either
in
Hungary
or
Bohemia
,
they
went
another
way
to
worke
,
and
concluded
with
the
Tartars
to
lay
a
Plot
vpon
the
City
of
Leopolis
,
which
being
discouered
by
certaine
poore
Pedlars
men
and
women
of
the
same
trade
the
Inhabitants
preuented
.
For
vnderstanding
of
their
abode
and
places
of
association
,
they
made
a
braue
sally
,
and
by
the
assistance
of
the
Villages
,
not
onely
dissipated
their
meetings
and
disappointed
their
pretended
villany
,
but
put
diuers
of
them
to
the
sword
,
and
by
many
fearfull
slaughters
compelled
them
out
of
those
Confines
,
so
that
they
were
enforced
to
hide
themselues
in
the
woods
,
and
flie
to
the
borders
of
the
blacke
Sea
.
From
Transiluania
.
AS
after
great
windes
and
fearefull
tempests
,
though
the
ayre
is
calme
,
and
they
seeme
appeased
,
the
Sea
yet
remaines
turbulent
,
and
the
billowes
mount
a
great
while
:
so
fared
it
with
the
businesse
and
affayres
of
Turky
,
though
the
Citie
was
quieted
,
and
the
Ianizaries
seemed
appeased
,
yet
euery
man
was
almost
affrighted
,
and
the
whispering
Troops
amased
the
Bashawes
,
as
if
the
confining
Princes
were
vp
in
armes
,
not
onely
to
take
reuenge
,
as
acting
one
anothers
part
on
such
traytors
as
durst
lay
hands
vpon
their
Prince
,
and
such
a
Monarch
;
but
to
worke
their
owne
ends
for
such
places
,
and
recouery
of
such
Countries
,
as
the
Turkes
had
vsurped
both
in
Persia
and
Christendome
.
Wherupon
the
Vizier
Hazein
Basshaw
by
way
of
preuention
very
cautelous
demeaned
himselfe
,
and
in
the
name
of
his
Emperour
Mustapha
sent
out
his
seuerall
Ambassadors
for
the
renouation
of
those
ancient
contracts
&
conditions
of
peace
betweene
the
Princes
of
Asia
and
Europe
,
and
yet
retayning
the
maiesty
of
the
Othoman
glory
,
hee
insinuated
with
none
,
but
the
Persian
,
and
Emperour
of
Germany
:
onely
hee
laid
a
strict
command
vpon
the
Basshawes
of
the
Prouinces
,
both
to
maintaine
the
dignity
of
the
Common-wealth
,
and
the
peace
of
the
Cities
.
Among
whom
the
Ambassador
that
came
to
the
Emperour
,
not
onely
obtayned
a
resolute
combination
of
peace
,
but
a
faire
admission
of
amitie
,
insomuch
that
the
Transiluanian
Prince
had
a
relaxation
of
his
tribute
,
and
augmentation
of
his
gouernment
,
so
that
hee
thought
it
meet
to
compound
with
the
Emperour
,
that
he
might
the
better
preuent
the
incursions
and
abuses
of
the
Ianizaries
,
if
they
should
in
this
turbulent
time
either
breake
into
Hungary
,
or
trouble
his
owne
Country
:
but
the
Basshaw
of
Buda
being
as
carefull
as
himselfe
,
had
alwayes
preparations
ready
,
both
to
intercept
the
malignity
of
time
,
concerning
his
own
rebels
,
and
the
terror
of
trouble
from
the
Cofsacks
of
Poland
:
in
all
which
he
was
countenanced
by
the
Emperor
,
and
emboldned
through
this
new
combination
of
peace
betweene
the
Emperour
and
the
great
Turke
.
From
Vienna
.
THe
Emperor
as
it
were
thriuing
in
all
his
designes
,
in
the
acquisition
of
the
Palatinate
,
and
the
preuailings
of
Bauaria
,
especially
in
the
appeasing
of
a
seditious
tumult
in
Prague
,
where
he
shewed
them
the
power
of
a
stronger
arme
,
and
taught
them
this
discipline
,
that
the
end
of
treason
was
death
,
and
punishment
attended
the
delinquents
against
the
law
;
seemed
yet
weary
of
extremities
,
and
practised
another
way
,
yea
diuers
other
waies
(
as
I
may
say
)
to
corroborate
his
greatnesse
,
and
reconcile
the
affaires
of
the
Commonwealth
.
First
,
he
proclaimed
peace
and
quiernesse
to
all
that
would
returne
to
his
obedience
.
Secondly
,
he
admitted
the
Prince
of
Anholt
and
many
Lords
into
his
fauour
;
yea
he
repealed
the
proscriptions
of
the
Marquesse
of
Iaggendorf
,
the
Counts
of
Thorne
father
and
sonne
,
and
others
who
had
maintained
Glatz
,
and
the
reuolted
Townes
of
Morauia
against
him
;
who
yet
stood
on
their
guard
,
and
kept
themselues
secure
in
their
fast
holds
.
Thirdly
,
hee
countenanced
the
Protestants
in
Vienna
and
many
other
places
,
whereby
they
continued
their
assemblies
,
so
that
you
shall
haue
50.
Coaches
at
a
Sermon
:
and
in
Stiria
,
Carinthia
,
Corrinola
,
Croatia
,
they
meet
without
feare
or
danger
,
yea
they
pray
for
their
brethren
in
the
Valtoline
:
all
which
he
endures
,
and
sees
a
great
alteration
by
this
quiet
course
and
conniuency
.
Fourthly
,
he
hath
changed
many
gouernors
both
in
Morauia
and
Silesia
,
and
written
to
the
Bishops
to
be
as
sparing
in
their
authortty
,
as
may
stand
with
the
dignity
of
the
Romane
Church
.
Fiftly
,
hee
hath
proclaimed
diuers
Diets
and
Assemblies
at
Auspurg
,
Regenspurg
,
Ratisbona
,
and
other
places
,
whither
he
hath
gone
with
his
Empresse
in
person
,
and
beene
entertained
with
triumphs
,
inuiting
as
it
were
the
Princes
of
the
Empire
to
maintaine
their
accustomed
solemnities
,
and
decide
the
present
controuersies
for
the
rectifying
the
disorders
of
the
Common-wealth
.
Last
of
all
,
perceiuing
a
kind
of
thinnesse
in
these
Assemblies
,
and
that
neither
Saxony
,
Brandenburg
,
Brunswicke
,
Hess
,
nor
many
other
Princes
graced
the
places
with
their
presence
;
he
caused
the
Empresse
to
write
vnto
the
Duke
of
Saxony
;
whose
Letters
were
to
this
effect
:
My
Lord
:
I
will
neither
meddle
with
the
Emperors
affaires
,
nor
your
discontents
;
nay
I
would
not
haue
so
much
liberty
giuen
to
a
woman
,
for
feare
of
irregularity
,
especially
in
transcendent
businesse
,
and
aboue
the
short
reaches
of
her
sex
.
l
will
onely
challenge
my
owne
rights
,
and
take
vpon
me
to
defend
the
honour
and
prerogatiue
which
belongs
to
my
place
:
I
had
thought
then
that
for
my
sake
you
would
haue
come
to
the
Dyet
at
Regenspurg
,
and
out
of
noble
respects
either
welcomed
me
into
the
Country
,
or
giuen
good
example
to
others
by
your
obseruation
.
When
I
was
in
my
Fathers
house
,
I
haue
heard
Gonzala
boast
of
Saxonies
loue
,
and
although
we
had
sufficient
matter
to
talke
of
your
greatnesse
,
yet
wee
left
all
to
thinke
of
your
honor
and
affinity
to
the
Emperor
.
How
comes
then
this
slacknesse
to
visit
me
that
am
Gonzalaes
sister
,
and
Ferdinandos
wife
?
Is
it
because
you
are
offended
or
distasted
with
the
affaires
?
Come
a
Gods
name
,
and
leuiate
these
tumors
;
shew
your
griefes
,
and
iustifie
your
Apology
,
and
by
the
faith
of
a
Princesse
,
whose
innocency
warrants
your
safe
conduct
,
I
will
not
leaue
kneeling
before
his
Imperiall
Maiestie
;
nay
our
Ladies
Altar
,
vntill
a
perfect
reconciliation
be
made
,
and
your
Honor
acknowledged
to
be
a
great
supportation
of
the
Empire
.
From
the
Valtoline
.
It
hath
beene
heretofore
generally
proclaimed
that
whosoeuer
would
obey
the
Church
of
Rome
,
and
submit
to
the
Spanish
gouernment
,
should
haue
restauration
of
estates
,
and
quietnesse
of
life
;
but
many
contested
against
it
,
and
the
preuailers
turned
their
admonitions
into
fury
,
and
ran
ouer
the
Country
with
slaughter
:
some
they
beheaded
&
set
vpon
poles
;
some
they
cut
out
their
tongues
,
some
they
punished
in
other
manner
,
and
some
they
sent
into
the
inquisition
at
Millane
;
amongst
whom
as
the
Souldiers
in
their
searches
lighted
vpon
certaine
Ministers
,
and
Noblemen
and
women
,
there
was
a
Gentlewoman
of
great
yeares
in
the
rancke
of
our
Ladies
,
fourescore
at
the
least
,
named
Maddona
Paola
,
who
was
at
the
first
intreated
by
many
perswasiue
reasons
to
forsake
her
Religion
and
come
to
the
vnity
of
the
Mother
Church
:
but
her
reply
was
the
Story
of
the
three
Children
,
who
would
not
kneele
to
Nabuchadnezars
Image
,
and
when
they
added
the
terror
of
the
punishment
,
shee
smiled
in
their
faces
and
told
them
they
should
see
the
Angell
to
protect
her
,
which
answer
they
imputed
to
frenzie
and
the
dotage
of
her
yeares
,
and
so
all
enrag'd
and
exasperated
,
they
reuiled
her
and
condemned
her
to
the
fire
,
yea
to
bee
burnt
in
a
publike
Piazza
:
so
the
inquisitors
went
cautelously
to
worke
,
and
not
only
bound
her
hands
but
gagd
her
mouth
,
and
so
brought
her
to
the
stake
among
them
all
:
but
it
should
seeme
the
fire
had
quickly
power
of
her
cordes
and
her
hands
were
as
quickly
at
liberty
,
so
that
ere
shee
dyed
shee
shewed
such
signes
of
ioy
&
alacrity
of
spirit
,
such
a
liuely
countenance
,
such
clapping
of
her
hands
,
such
lifting
them
vp
to
heauen
,
such
pointing
to
the
people
,
and
then
to
heauen
,
that
ere
she
was
consumed
to
cynders
,
the
thousands
of
people
shed
as
many
teares
,
and
departed
a
way
murmurring
and
discontented
.
In
this
estate
standeth
the
whole
Country
of
the
Grizons
at
this
hower
,
and
so
by
the
aduice
of
the
Swiffe
,
they
haue
implored
the
Maiesty
of
France
,
the
Signory
of
Venice
,
the
King
of
Denmarke
,
the
Princes
of
Germany
,
and
the
States
of
the
vnited
Prouinces
,
to
speak
cheerful
things
to
their
soules
,
and
not
to
see
them
subiect
to
the
authority
of
strangers
.
From
Naples
.
AFter
the
arriuall
of
the
Duke
of
Alua
,
as
Viceroy
,
and
that
the
Seas
were
filled
with
Gallies
and
Turkish
Carmisans
,
which
Hazein
Basshaw
had
sent
abroad
to
watch
the
proceedings
of
Christian
Princes
in
this
time
of
turbulency
on
all
sides
:
the
gouernment
was
so
searcht
and
looked
into
,
and
yet
with
that
affability
and
insinuating
care
,
that
the
mutinies
and
seditions
formerly
raised
,
were
now
appeased
,
the
famine
preuented
,
the
Merchant
welcomed
,
diuers
Noblemen
discharged
out
of
prison
,
the
factions
reconciled
,
many
debts
payed
,
the
money
enhawnsed
,
and
a
generall
reformation
followed
,
which
once
established
,
then
beganne
a
muster
in
Calabria
,
Brutia
,
Apuleia
,
yea
Cicilia
it selfe
,
and
at
last
certaine
troopes
of
horse
and
Companies
listed
for
any
new
emploiment
,
as
the
directions
of
Spain
should
giue
them
notice
:
but
as
yet
they
heare
of
no
filuer
Fleet
arriued
:
so
that
in
truth
,
though
rumour
haue
beene
too
lauish
in
ouer-numbring
the
Souldiers
:
yet
there
is
a
great
probability
,
that
there
shall
an
army
be
raised
in
Italy
to
attend
the
Duke
of
Feria
in
his
proiects
at
Millane
,
where
at
this
houre
there
is
a
great
suspition
of
reuolting
,
as
you
shall
heare
in
due
place
.
From
Rome
.
They
write
from
hence
,
that
there
was
neuer
so
Wise
,
Honourable
,
and
iudicious
a
Counsell
about
the
Pope
,
as
is
now
,
nor
were
there
Cardinals
in
their
Conclaue
so
reposed
,
and
addicted
to
reformation
before
:
Insomuch
that
many
enormities
haue
beene
punished
,
and
both
Priests
,
Fryers
,
and
Curtezans
,
restrained
from
that
former
iustifying
of
their
impious
liues
in
so
publicke
a
manner
,
yea
many
good
decrees
haue
of
late
beene
enacted
,
and
sundry
Constitutions
sent
abroad
to
be
practised
.
1
First
,
that
there
was
a
new
Bull
proclaymed
,
for
auoyding
all
deceit
and
partiality
in
Electing
their
Popes
.
2
Secondly
,
that
those
wonderfull
fulminations
against
Heretickes
,
should
not
be
executed
with
Fire
and
Sword
in
so
publique
a
manner
as
was
wont
:
insomuch
,
that
whereas
the
most
expected
the
Bishop
of
Spalato
should
haue
beene
condemned
to
the
Fire
,
hee
was
pardoned
,
reconciled
,
and
admitted
to
enioy
his
honours
and
substance
.
3
Thirdly
,
Cardinall
Burghesius
falling
out
with
a
Iesuite
,
called
him
busie
body
,
and
tolde
him
to
his
face
,
that
if
euer
the
Church
suffered
Diminution
and
decay
of
glory
,
it
might
thanke
the
Iesuites
,
who
had
beene
the
cause
of
all
the
combustions
of
Europe
.
4
Fourthly
,
that
although
the
rotten
branches
of
the
Vine
were
to
be
broken
,
pruned
,
and
cut
off
,
yea
cast
into
the
Fire
,
which
is
meant
by
obstinate
Heretickes
:
yet
was
it
no
Doctrine
of
the
mother
Church
to
destroy
innocent
soules
with
the
refractary
wicked
,
nor
slaughter
ignorant
Nouices
before
admonitory
counsell
,
and
aduise
for
their
conuersion
.
Last
of
all
,
that
the
Cardinals
should
maintaine
their
eminent
Dignity
and
places
,
how
euer
men
except
against
their
originals
.
From
Venice
.
The
affaires
of
the
Grizons
ouer-clouded
with
so
many
misfortunes
,
drawe
them
from
the
line
of
Nature
to
the
meanes
of
preseruations
,
and
so
by
the
coadiutement
of
the
Swisse
their
neighbours
,
they
not
onely
acquainted
their
confederates
with
the
miseries
,
that
had
plunged
them
into
the
gulph
of
discontent
,
but
implored
the
assistance
of
many
Princes
to
remember
the
Antiqua
foedera
,
&
not
suffer
them
to
be
forsaken
in
this
losse
of
their
Liberty
,
and
troubling
of
their
conscience
:
amongst
whom
it
is
said
,
that
one
Andrea
Planta
was
sent
to
the
Signiory
of
Venice
with
intimation
of
their
Estates
,
and
imploration
of
their
helpe
,
who
was
so
well
entertained
,
that
his
message
was
not
onely
accepted
,
but
many
faire
promises
returned
to
their
satisfaction
:
his
Message
had
these
or
the
like
passages
.
The
Grizons
message
to
Venice
.
HIgh
and
Mighty
:
I
come
not
to
renouate
your
memoryes
,
concerning
the
combination
betweene
vs
,
and
the
amitv
of
our
Countries
,
nor
to
meddle
with
the
cause
of
Religion
,
which
of
it selfe
were
sufficient
to
moue
a
pitty
:
but
to
plead
the
policies
of
State
,
and
vrge
an
ancient
position
by
way
of
Caution
:
Tum
tuares
agitur
,
paries
cumproximus
ardet
,
your
Marchants
cannot
Traficke
into
Germany
,
and
vent
the
commodities
of
your
Countrey
,
for
now
all
is
stopt
,
or
blockt
vp
,
so
that
you
must
with
a
vigilant
eye
fore-see
the
danger
to
come
and
preuent
the
worst
:
you
see
what
is
done
already
,
neither
could
the
Snow
of
the
mountaines
,
nor
the
Mountaines
themselues
,
the
passages
of
the
Woods
,
the
cut
out-wayes
,
the
steepy
ascendings
,
the
plashing
of
the
pines
,
the
anfractus
of
the
Hilles
,
the
roaring
of
the
Waters
,
the
danger
of
the
pits
hinder
them
,
but
they
are
come
thus
farre
already
:
They
began
with
the
Fort
Fuentes
,
they
continued
with
their
Garrisons
in
many
places
,
and
now
they
haue
ended
in
a
manner
with
the
possession
of
our
whole
Territories
,
so
that
if
this
inundation
be
not
stopped
,
iudge
your selues
,
whether
it
will
flow
,
if
it
breake
down
the
bankes
,
&
if
we
be
not
relieued
in
time
,
may
it
not
proue
a
rub
to
gall
others
,
aswell
as
our selues
:
therefore
I
leaue
it
to
your
further
consideration
,
and
so
without
either
aggrauating
the
cause
,
or
exasperating
the
aduersary
,
I
conclude
,
that
there
is
no
husbandry
in
letting
these
plants
ouerspread
the
ground
.
To
this
effect
was
the
Message
of
the
Grizons
,
but
their
Answer
was
not
published
,
onely
it
was
whispered
,
that
if
the
King
of
France
did
not
send
the
Duke
de
Rohan
,
as
principall
Commaunder
,
they
would
inuite
Count
Mansfeld
to
vndertake
the
busines
,
and
be
Lieutenant
Generall
of
those
Forces
,
which
should
be
there
imployed
:
in
the
meane
while
they
fortefied
all
the
maritine
Townes
of
Histria
,
and
Dalmatia
,
filled
the
Gulph
with
Gallyes
,
and
sent
two
Galenzes
to
lye
betweene
the
point
of
Calabria
and
Candy
.
From
Geneua
.
The
great
resort
of
Noble
men
and
women
out
of
Germany
,
the
Grizons
and
France
in
the
time
of
these
troubles
and
persecutions
to
Geneua
,
as
a
sanctuary
hath
filled
both
the
Towne
so
the
Countrey
,
that
a
great
dearth
and
famine
followed
,
insomuch
that
Wheat
exceeded
our
rates
,
&
a
Bushel
is
worth
twenty
shillings
sterling
,
whereupon
the
Magistrates
feared
some
greater
mischiefe
,
as
that
the
Duke
of
Sauoy
would
take
aduantage
on
their
distresse
and
pestring
of
people
,
because
they
heard
of
diuers
Mustrings
,
and
that
the
King
of
France
determined
to
meet
him
at
Lions
:
But
God
hath
the
keyes
of
the
hearts
of
Princes
,
and
openeth
and
shutteth
them
at
his
pleasure
:
so
they
heard
no
more
of
hostile
inuasion
,
nor
a
word
was
whispered
of
any
proiects
against
them
,
not
withstanding
they
stood
on
their
guard
,
and
besides
their
continuall
Prayers
within
,
had
as
continuall
Garrisons
and
watches
without
,
so
that
withall
care
and
diligence
they
fortified
their
Ports
,
and
manned
their
Fortifications
:
yea
such
was
the
especiall
fauour
of
God
towards
them
,
that
all
other
prouision
bare
low
prices
,
and
for
all
this
scarcity
of
Corne
,
their
very
neighbours
and
aduersaries
,
I
meane
the
Catholike
Cantons
and
Bazill
it selfe
,
supplyed
their
wants
,
and
contributed
money
to
their
reliefe
.
From
Spaine
.
They
write
from
Spaine
,
that
howeuer
the
Souldiers
in
their
fury
haue
proceeded
in
the
Valtoline
,
yet
haue
the
Inhabitants
bin
offered
faire
Conditions
of
Peace
,
&
remaining
in
quiet
possession
of
their
estates
so
they
will
disclaime
the
dependancy
on
any
other
States
,
&
acknowledge
the
King
of
Spaine
their
Lord
and
Protector
:
but
whereas
report
hath
sent
abroad
diuers
Thousands
of
Duckets
to
pay
the
Soldiers
,
and
discharge
some
Debts
of
importance
and
accompt
,
the
truth
is
,
the
siluer
Fleet
is
not
yet
arriued
,
but
rather
is
so
watched
by
the
Holanders
in
those
parts
,
that
they
cannot
make
that
speede
as
is
desired
,
so
that
there
is
as
great
complaining
for
want
of
money
,
as
euer
before
,
notwithstanding
the
King
not
onely
enlargeth
his
Court
,
but
hath
proceeded
very
nobly
in
diuers
reformations
,
and
set
downe
especiall
ordinances
for
the
augmentation
of
his
owne
honour
,
and
detention
of
the
Subiect
in
modest
rules
of
duty
and
obseruation
,
so
that
neither
can
euery
man
come
to
the
Court
as
they
were
wont
,
nor
those
that
come
,
passe
to
such
places
,
as
they
accustomed
.
From
Fraunce
.
It
hath
pleased
God
so
to
diuert
the
King
from
prosecuting
the
warre
against
his
Subiects
,
that
heere
is
euery
where
a
cheerefull
face
of
concord
and
amity
,
and
we
doe
not
heare
of
any
man
that
hath
opposed
against
the
message
of
the
Swiss
and
Grizons
,
but
that
the
King
is
willing
to
admit
of
their
imploration
for
the
defence
,
or
if
you
will
regayning
the
Valtoline
,
for
which
purpose
there
hath
beene
reciprocall
Embassies
betweene
the
Duke
of
Sauoy
and
him
,
as
farre
as
sending
of
Presents
,
and
resolution
to
continue
a
peace
:
but
they
neuer
met
in
person
,
onely
the
Prince
of
Piemont
and
his
wife
haue
beene
at
Lions
,
and
great
ioy
is
made
on
all
sides
for
the
hopes
men
haue
to
thriue
in
their
expectation
,
especially
considering
the
Archbishop
of
Rheimes
proposeth
nothing
,
but
obedience
to
the
Church
,
and
an
Vnity
in
Religion
,
disclaiming
the
Iesuites
,
intermedling
with
State
matters
,
and
pestilentiall
deuises
,
to
set
all
in
an
vprore
againe
:
there
hath
passed
diuers
courtesies
betweene
Duke
Hespernon
,
the
Prince
of
Condy
,
the
Duke
of
Guise
,
and
others
of
that
side
:
and
the
Dukes
Rohan
and
Subiss
,
with
the
Duke
of
Bulloigne
himselfe
:
as
for
the
mustring
of
Souldiers
,
and
great
preparation
of
diuers
Armies
,
there
is
no
such
matter
as
yet
,
more
then
a
coniecture
,
that
if
the
King
will
vndertake
the
businesse
of
the
Grizons
,
it
cannot
be
done
without
sufficient
forces
,
and
worthy
Commaunders
.
From
the
Palatinate
.
The
waters
haue
come
downe
so
fast
this
Winter
,
that
they
haue
remoued
Tilly
from
Frankendale
,
where
that
worthy
Sergeant
Maior
Borregh
hath
not
onely
defended
the
place
,
but
made
many
sallyes
to
the
endamaging
the
Enemy
,
and
supplying
his
own
wants
:
but
as
I
beleeue
,
neither
Bauaria
●or
he
hath
a
purpose
to
continue
there
.
For
they
neither
fortifie
themselues
,
nor
repaire
the
decayed
places
,
or
broken
ramparts
,
but
rather
demolish
such
holds
as
may
be
made
inexpugnable
,
especially
the
Castle
at
Heidelberg
,
and
the
new
Sconce
at
Mainhem
,
with
other
places
which
Captaine
Dexter
had
bestowed
great
paines
about
.
The
Duke
of
Bauarta
himselfe
is
gone
to
his
owne
Country
to
meete
the
Emperour
and
Empresse
,
who
appointed
to
come
thether
,
&
giue
the
Ambassadors
of
Saxony
and
Brandenburg
audience
.
From
Cullen
.
The
daily
forraging
of
the
Country
by
the
Enemy
on
both
sides
,
hath
raised
diuers
hurliburlies
i●
Cullen
,
so
that
the
Bishop
hath
