THE
ORATION
AND
PROPOSITIONS
made
on
Barnavelt's
and
his
fellow-Prisoners
behalfe
,
by
the
French
Kings
Ambassadors
,
to
the
generall
Estates
of
the
vnited
Prouinces
of
HOLLAND
,
&c.
at
the
presenting
of
his
Maiesties
Letters
vnto
the
said
Estates
.
MY
Lords
,
the
King
our
Master
commanded
vs
,
to
recommend
vnto
you
the
same
which
we
haue
heretofore
at
other
times
motioned
,
touching
the
good
,
and
peace
of
your
estate
:
although
it
hath
not
bin
considered
according
to
the
worthinesse
of
the
merit
of
his
alliance
and
amitie
:
but
in
the
present
state
of
your
affaires
,
his
Maiestie
will
not
cease
to
witnesse
vnto
you
,
that
he
hath
no
lesse
care
thereof
,
then
of
the
peace
and
tranquilitie
of
his
owne
Kingdome
.
We
will
therefore
proceede
to
exhort
you
,
to
continue
stedfast
in
the
vnion
of
your
Prouinces
,
as
the
principall
foundation
of
your
estate
,
and
to
be
carefull
,
that
the
changing
of
Magistrates
and
Counsellors
,
which
hath
bin
made
in
diuers
of
your
Townes
,
doe
not
breede
enmities
and
dissentions
among
your
Citizens
,
instead
of
ceasing
them
;
for
that
,
all
mutations
and
changes
of
Magistrates
,
Lawes
,
and
policies
are
dangerous
to
publique
gouernements
,
if
they
be
not
made
vpon
great
necessity
,
and
so
profitable
for
the
Commons
,
that
no
man
may
haue
cause
to
dislike
them
:
Therefore
it
is
requisite
for
you
to
take
order
,
that
the
Magistrates
,
by
their
good
and
iust
proceedings
and
behauiours
,
may
obtaine
and
deserue
the
good-will
of
the
people
;
and
shew
themselues
so
modest
towards
them
that
are
dismissed
,
that
the
inconstant
multitude
may
haue
no
occasion
to
repine
at
such
alteration
;
and
that
those
that
haue
bin
deposed
from
their
charges
,
should
patiently
endure
and
beare
that
alteration
,
as
being
made
for
the
common
good
of
the
state
.
The
Sinode
which
you
haue
caused
to
be
assembled
,
puts
vs
in
good
hope
that
it
will
be
a
meanes
to
procure
peace
and
concord
touching
those
points
of
Religion
,
which
haue
bred
trouble
and
schisme
in
these
Prouinces
among
you
:
To
make
it
effectuall
and
fruitfull
,
it
is
requisite
that
it
should
be
free
,
and
secure
for
all
those
that
shall
therein
assemble
together
,
and
that
the
points
in
controuersie
should
be
examined
and
disputed
of
,
without
passion
,
or
for
any
other
consideration
,
then
onely
for
the
honour
of
God
,
and
the
peace
of
mens
consciences
.
And
certainely
,
whosoeuer
taketh
vpon
him
to
interpret
,
or
attaine
vnto
those
high
misteries
and
treasures
of
diuine
wisedome
,
without
great
humility
and
submission
;
shall
finde
himselfe
as
farre
off
from
them
,
as
he
thinketh
he
approacheth
neere
vnto
them
.
We
are
likewise
to
tell
you
somewhat
from
the
King
,
touching
your
Prisoners
,
and
to
shew
you
,
how
much
it
concerneth
the
honour
and
reputation
of
your
affaires
,
and
generally
the
peace
of
your
Prouinces
,
and
concord
among
your
subiects
,
to
administer
vnto
them
good
and
speedy
Iustice
.
They
are
accused
of
the
most
inorme
and
detestable
crimes
that
can
be
,
as
of
Treason
against
their
natiue
Countrey
,
secret
intelligence
with
your
enemies
,
and
for
hauing
exposed
your
Townes
vnto
the
danger
of
pillage
,
and
effusion
of
blood
.
If
they
be
culpable
of
these
disloyalties
,
the
King
our
Master
giueth
you
counsell
and
aduise
to
exercise
the
rigour
of
your
Lawes
against
them
.
But
as
those
crimes
are
grieuous
,
and
worthy
of
most
great
punishment
;
so
they
haue
beene
reduced
to
certaine
points
,
whereunto
good
and
wise
Princes
,
and
well
gouerned
common-wealths
would
not
stretch
them
.
To
the
contrary
,
diuers
Princes
haue
shewed
themselues
ready
to
pardon
,
euen
such
enterprises
as
haue
bin
done
against
their
owne
persons
:
and
the
freest
Common-wealths
,
alwaies
vsed
to
spare
the
blood
of
their
Citizens
;
and
that
in
the
greatest
malefactors
;
it
being
one
of
the
principallest
signes
of
liberty
and
freedome
,
not
easily
or
lightly
to
touch
the
life
of
Citizens
.
Therefore
the
crime
of
Treason
ought
to
be
taken
and
vnderstood
in
her
proper
tearmes
,
without
drawing
it
by
consequences
and
inductions
to
other
actions
which
are
not
of
the
same
quality
.
The
contentions
which
oftentimes
arise
and
are
made
in
the
management
of
affaires
,
the
iealousies
of
power
and
authority
,
and
ambition
which
alwaies
drawes
and
driues
men
to
enterprise
and
take
more
vpon
them
then
they
should
,
are
ordinary
euils
in
all
states
;
whereby
many
inconueniences
and
mischiefes
ensew
.
Neuerthelesse
,
they
were
neuer
esteemed
nor
held
to
be
treason
against
the
State
,
because
crimes
and
offences
are
iudged
by
the
will
and
intent
,
and
not
by
the
euent
.
We
doubt
not
,
my
Lords
,
but
that
in
your
integrities
and
wisedomes
you
make
distinction
as
you
should
,
of
the
faith
and
actions
whereof
men
are
accused
;
question
being
made
of
the
liues
of
your
officers
&
subiects
placed
in
authority
,
wherof
one
is
the
auncientest
Counsellor
of
your
state
,
which
is
Monsieur
Barneuelt
,
so
much
commended
for
the
good
and
notable
seruices
by
him
done
for
these
countries
,
whereof
the
Princes
and
States
and
allies
vnto
the
same
are
witnesses
,
that
it
is
hardly
to
be
thought
or
beleeued
,
that
he
should
haue
conspired
treason
against
his
natiue
Countrie
,
for
the
which
you
your selues
know
hee
hath
taken
so
great
paines
:
neuerthelesse
seeing
he
is
called
in
question
by
order
of
Law
,
it
importeth
the
security
of
your
estate
,
that
the
truth
should
be
known
;
which
to
doe
,
you
ought
both
for
him
,
and
the
rest
also
to
appoint
Iudges
that
are
neither
suspected
nor
passionate
,
that
iudge
according
to
the
Lawes
of
the
Countrey
,
vpon
cleere
and
euident
proofes
,
as
equitie
requireth
,
and
not
vpon
coniectures
and
presumptions
,
which
oftentimes
deceiue
Iudges
;
because
there
are
many
things
that
are
apparant
and
very
likely
,
which
neuerthelesse
are
not
true
;
and
others
that
are
true
,
and
yet
haue
no
likelinesse
thereof
:
and
so
by
moderate
and
vpright
Iudgement
,
you
shall
manifest
vnto
the
world
,
that
you
are
worthy
of
the
possession
and
commandement
of
this
estate
,
to
the
gouernement
whereof
God
hath
called
you
.
The
counsell
which
the
King
giueth
you
,
touching
these
Prisoners
,
is
,
not
to
vse
rigour
against
them
;
but
rather
fauour
and
clemency
,
as
most
acceptable
vnto
God
,
and
fit
and
conuenient
to
win
the
hearts
of
the
people
,
&
to
make
them
obedient
.
It
is
the
security
of
States
,
such
as
yours
is
,
to
revnite
your
subiects
which
are
diuided
,
and
to
molefie
and
appease
the
dislikes
and
bitternesse
,
which
is
among
them
;
wherevnto
we
haue
speciall
charge
to
adde
his
Maiesties
request
and
recommendation
,
in
respect
of
the
interest
which
he
hath
in
the
preseruation
of
your
State
,
and
his
knowledge
of
the
great
seruices
,
which
this
Prisoner
hath
done
for
you
;
as
also
of
the
affection
;
which
he
alwayes
bare
to
the
maintenance
of
the
alliance
betweene
France
and
this
State
,
so
notable
actions
and
testimonies
of
his
loyaltie
and
fidelity
,
that
they
seeme
to
exclude
all
suspition
of
treason
and
disloyaltie
;
and
whereof
as
yet
,
his
Maiesty
cannot
hold
or
thinke
him
to
be
culpable
,
vntill
by
euident
proofes
you
make
the
crime
manifest
vnto
him
.
Now
after
so
many
good
aduises
,
which
are
on
the
Kings
behalfe
propounded
vnto
you
,
if
you
,
for
your
parts
,
rather
chuse
a
rigorous
course
,
his
Maiestie
shall
haue
sufficient
glory
and
satisfaction
,
to
haue
,
like
a
true
friend
and
allie
,
giuen
you
wholesome
and
sound
counsels
,
whereof
the
vse
and
euent
will
be
as
happy
and
profitable
for
your
State
,
as
the
contrary
is
hurtfull
and
dangerous
:
And
his
Maiestie
cannot
chuse
but
be
much
offended
at
the
small
respect
which
you
still
make
of
his
counsels
,
requests
,
and
amitie
,
which
thereby
may
procure
as
much
slacknesse
,
as
in
times
past
you
haue
found
promptnesse
and
fauourablenesse
in
your
neede

So
they
are
exceedingly
much
grieued
,
to
perceiue
themselues
to

not

motions
,
touching
the
good

according
to
the
merit
of
his

,
because
they
cannot
conceiue
wherevpon
this
complaint
of
dislike
should
be
grounded
;
in
regard
that
they

alwaies
had

most
exactly
to

keepe
all
the

thereof

whereby
the

Neuerthelesse
the
said

,
receiue
and
accept
of
,
(
as
a
most
great
fauour
)
the
good
and
wholesome
counsells
which
it
pleaseth
his
Maiestie
to
giue
them
,
in
this

wherein
their
affaires
now
stand
,
exhorting
them
to
remaine
firme
and
constant
in
the
vnion
of
their
prouinces
,
because
they
are
altogether
conformable
to
their
intents
;
for
they
haue
alwaies
had
the

,
specially
to
be
carefull
of

to
preserue

against

and
to
vse
their
friends

Allies
worthily

according
to
their
quallities
and

.
They
also
say
that
they
haue
not
without
great
&
good
consideration
beene
moued
to
change
certaine
of
their
Magistrates
,
in
some
of
their
Townes
:
whereof
it
may
be
,
the
report
hath
beene
otherwise
spread
abroad
,
then
the
case
requireth
,
seeing
that
the
remedy
was
most
necessary
&
easie
being
wisely
and
moderately
applyed
,
without
any
violence
or
danger
of
bloud-shedding
,
in
such
manner
that
publique
authority
,
vnion
by
peace
,
and
assurance
against
disorders
are
entirely
established
,
which
certaine
ambitious
&
factious
spirits
would
haue
much
altered
,
not
without
great
danger
,
(
if
longer
forbearance
&
patience
had
beene
vsed
)
to
ouerthrow
and
destroy
all
the
state
,
and
to
the
ruine
and
desolation
of
good
men
,
and
to
the
preiudice
of
his
Maiestie
,
&
the
good
of
his
kingdome
.
Besides
that
,
they
haue
onely
made
a
necessary
change
of
some
certaine
persons
,
not
once
thereby
touching
or
altering
the
lawes
,
rights
or
pollicies
of
their
Townes
;
neither
haue
they
had
any
other
intent
or
meaning
in
their
elections
of
new
Magistrates
,
then
onely
to
cease
the
great
partialities
that
haue
crept
in
among
them
,
by
the
practise
of
factious
persons
,
which
in
those
Townes
and
families
proceeded
so
farre
as
to
erect
Alter
against
Alter
:
and
in
the
same
changes
they
haue
placed
none
but
such
persons
as
are
well
quallified
,
faithfull
,
and
affected
to
their
Countrie
,
who
without
doubt
,
by
their
vpright
and
iust
behauiour
,
know
full
well
how
to
procure
and
get
the
good-will
of
the
people
,
and
to
preserue
and
defend
the
State
from
all
violent
alterations
or
motions
;
and
that
in
many
Townes
the
proofe
of
this
lenitie
alreadie
appeareth
,
in
that
the
order
which
hath
beene
reeffablished
for
the
protection
and
defence
of
Innocents
,
against
the
first
oppression
,
is
already
notable
and
pleasing
,
whereby
all
the
members
of
this
State
conspire
and
consent
together
to
cast
off
and
abandon
their
bad
motions
,
and
to
raunge
themselues
vnder
lawfull
obedience
,
by
voluntarie
acknowledging
of
their
superiours
:
And
that
if
this
proceeding
of
their
factious
subiects
had
drawne
them
vnto
any
greatextreamity
,
they
would
hopefully
haue
relied
vpon
the
ordinary
good
will
of
his
Maiestie
,
for
their
support
and
meanes
,
which
might
haue
failed
them
,
by
their
power
to
haue
redressed
those
confusions
,
which
by
the
mercie
and
goodnesse
of
God
they
did
in
time
preuent
,
without
trouble
or
extraordinary
charge
to
their
allies
.
Touching
the
Sinode
,
which
hath
beene
called
and
assembled
together
in
these
Prouinces
,
they
alwaies
certainely
beleeued
,
that
therby
some
means
of
peace
and
concord
concerning
,
those
points
of
religion
which
haue
bin
the
cause
to
administer
trouble
in
the
Churches
of
some
of
their
Prouinces
,
would
be
found
,
esteeming
it
the
most
meet
,
auncient
,
and
lawfull
meanes
thereunto
,
vsed
in
the
primatiue
Church
,
euen
in
the
time
of
the
Apostles
:
But
what
meanes
soeuer
they
haue
heretofore
vsed
to
obtaine
and
publish
that
conuocation
,
it
was
neuer
till
now
in
their
power
to
attaine
to
that
holy
and
wholesome
remedie
,
to
rule
and
stop
the
differences
in
their
first
birth
:
And
his
Maiesty
may
well
call
to
minde
and
remember
,
if
it
pleaseth
him
,
the
intreaties
and
humble
motions
diuers
times
made
by
them
vnto
him
,
to
be
ayded
and
assisted
in
this
good
worke
,
by
the
assistance
of
some
of
his
subiects
,
chosen
out
of
the
reformed
Churches
in
his
Realme
;
but
were
crossed
and
put
off
by
them
,
with
a
small
number
of
persons
,
who
contrary
to
all
reason
and
order
of
gouernement
,
neglecting
their
vocation
,
outwardly
made
the
iust
labour
of
the
said
States
vnfruitfull
:
but
now
neuerthelesse
that
by
the
goodnesse
of
God
,
and
the
most
wise
and
resolute
conduction
and
dexterity
of
the
Prince
of
Orange
,
they
haue
assured
their
temporall
state
from
present
danger
,
they
thought
it
not
conuenient
to
neglect
the
care
which
they
ought
to
haue
of
the
Spirituall
:
To
the
which
end
,
the
Sinode
was
freely
opened
,
and
began
to
be
holden
in
the
Moneth
of
Nouember
last
,
as
they
desired
,
with
this
onely
prescription
and
clause
,
not
to
seeke
any
other
thing
thereby
,
then
the
honour
of
God
,
and
the
peace
of
mens
consciences
,
in
the
puritie
of
his
word
,
wherein
there
is
found
and
assembled
so
great
a
number
of
excellent
persons
,
both
for
pietie
and
vprightnesse
,
chosen
and
appointed
thereunto
by
their
superiours
,
that
the
States
haue
good
cause
to
hope
well
of
their
labours
;
and
that
also
,
by
Gods
holy
grace
,
the
euent
will
testifie
their
iust
and
sincere
intentions
,
to
the
contentment
of
his
Maiestie
,
the
good
and
peace
of
their
common-wealth
,
and
the
confusion
of
the
authors
of
this
faction
.
Further
the
said
State
also
esteeme
,
weigh
,
and
thinke
very
well
of
the
reasons
and
considerations
formerly
set
downe
by
the
said
Lords
Ambassadours
,
in
fauour
of
the
Prisoners
,
to
administer
vnto
them
good
and
speedie
Iustice
,
and
to
vse
them
fauourably
,
if
they
haue
not
conspired
the
ruine
of
their
State
,
with
their
enemyes
:
but
for
that
the
said
States
haue
beene
continually
busied
about
setling
the
necessary
securitie
of
their
common-wealth
,
which
had
been
greatly
shaken
by
the
violent
proceedings
of
such
as
aspired
to
nouelties
,
by
alteration
of
Religion
,
Iustice
,
and
fundamentall
Lawes
of
all
polliticke
orders
:
and
that
otherwise
this
conspiracie
grew
so
great
,
that
nothing
was
exempted
from
the
infection
thereof
,
they
thought
it
not
conuenient
to
run
headlong
vpon
such
a
processe
of
so
great
importance
,
&
that
first
it
was
most
fit
seuerally
to
gather
and
collect
all
such
euidences
as
might
tend
vnto
,
and
concerne
the
same
,
for
their
full
instruction
therein
,
clearely
to
make
knowne
and
manifest
the
grounds
and
depth
of
the
cause
,
and
that
such
delay
could
not
be
any
wayes
hurtfull
or
preiudiciall
to
the
Criminells
,
if
they
presumed
to
haue
any
aduantage
to
iustifie
their
innocency
.
Notwithstanding
,
there
hath
not
therein
bin
any
losse
of
time
,
but
things
haue
bin
done
orderly
and
diligently
,
&
haue
already
proceeded
so
farre
,
that
they
are
perswaded
that
iudgement
shall
not
long
be
deferred
,
and
such
without
doubt
,
that
at
the
publication
thereof
,
all
their
allies
,
which
affect
the
prosperity
of
this
State
,
and
specially
his
Maiestie
,
who
is
a
iust
and
vertuous
Prince
,
will
commend
their
vpright
dealing
,
when
they
shall
be
better
informed
of
the
state
of
the
conspiracie
.
In
the
meane
time
,
they
desire
the
said
Lords
Ambassadors
,
to
assure
his
Maiestie
from
them
,
that
they
will
encline
themselues
so
much
to
clemencie
and
fauour
(
wherevnto
they
,
and
the
condition
of
their
gouernment
are
naturally
addicted
)
as
equitie
,
iustice
,
and
the
preseruation
of
their
State
,
may
in
any
wise
permit
them
:
Hoping
that
his
Maiestie
(
in
regard
of
the
cause
)
will
not
be
perswaded
to
prefer
the
important
and
ill-grounded
solicitations
of
certaine
particular
criminels
,
or
of
their
fauourites
,
before
the
generall
interest
of
the
dignitie
and
worthines
of
this
Common-wealth
;
but
to
the
contrary
perswade
themselues
that
his
Maiestie
will
finde
it
more
expedient
for
his
seruice
,
&
the
good
of
the
said
Prouinces
,
to
referre
the
same
to
the
said
States
gouernment
and
iudgement
,
which
they
will
take
paines
to
conclude
and
finish
,
with
so
much
equitie
and
clemencie
among
themselues
,
that
the
obedience
of
their
subiects
shall
by
their
authority
be
confirmed
,
and
with
so
great
wisdome
&
respect
of
their
allies
,
that
his
Maiestie
shall
haue
occasion
to
content
himselfe
with
the
duty
which
they
will
shew
for
the
obseruation
and
maintaining
of
his
alliance
with
them
,
whereof
they
will
truly
yeeld
him
satisfaction
.

1.
THat
Originall-sinne
,
is
no
sinne
,
but
an
occasion
of
Sinne.
.
-
2.
That
the
great
Mercy
of
God
,
is
the
onely
cause
of
mans
good
,
and
that
hee
hath
power
to
accept
or
refuse
it
.
-
3.
That
Faith
,
by
the
vertue
of
Gods
great
mercy
,
is
the
proper
worke
of
man
.
-
4.
That
Gods
prouidence
is
such
,
that
it
foreseeth
all
things
,
but
worketh
not
in
men
particularly
,
whom
he
leaueth
to
their
free-will
.
-

That
the
faithfull
or
beleeuing
Children
of
God
,
in
this
life
,
may
perfectly
accomplish
Gods
commaundements
,
although
they

the
Children
of

That
the
originall
cause
of
Iustification
before
God
,
is
the
passion
of
Christ
,
but
the
workes
of
Obedience
are
the
first
originall
cause
of
this
Iustification

The
Duke
D'Espernons
reuolt
and
pernicious
Designes
,
truely
displayed
and
reprehended
by
one
of
his
Friends
.
IT
is
true
,
and
a
common
saying
,
my
Lord
,
that
those
which
vse
to
play
,
before
they
begin
,
should
be
sure
to
make
a
good
match
:
it
is
the
same
aduise
which
you
your selfe
gaue
to
a
turbulent
spirit
,
that
sought
the
disquietnesse
and
ruine
of
France
:
an
aduise
which
you
suggested
to
be
conuenient
,
by
the
knowledge
that
you
had
,
that
those
who
seeke
to
set
vpon
and
conspire
against
their
King
,
in
the
end
come
by
the
losse
,
I
meane
both
of
honour
and
life
:
And
neuerthelesse
forgetting
your
owne
instructions
,
and
the
examples
which
time
hath
produced
;
you
are
now
fallen
into
the
same
crymes
,
which
formerly
you
abhorred
,
and
thereby
become
disobedient
and
rebellious
:
Crimes
,
so
much
the
more
to
be
blamed
,
as
they
are
committed
by
a
person
,
who
not
onely
ought
to
shun
them
,
but
to
the
contrary
,
is
oblieged
and
bound
by
all
manner
of
duties
,
to
imploy
both
his
body
and
goods
against
those
that
enterprise
them
.
I
am
so
much
grieued
at
your
proceedings
,
that
it
moueth
me
boldly
without
difficulty
to
tell
you
,
(
being
culpable
as
you
are
)
that
my
aduise
is
,
and
instantly
I
beseech
you
,
to
seeke
out
meanes
to
cure
your
malady
,
and
to
procure
your
owne
safety
,
and
therein
to
take
my
counsell
,
haueing
heretofore
giuen
you
warning
of
your
former
actions
,
at
the
least
,
I
shall
discharge
my selfe
of
the
duety
which
I
owe
vnto
you
,
for
the
fauours
I
haue
receiued
at
your
hands
,
and
I
call
heauen
to
witnesse
of
my
sincerity
;
let
me
then
intreat
you
,
to
peruse
these
few
lines
,
and
suffer
the
truth
therein
by
me
set
downe
,
to
worke
some
remorse
of
conscience
in
you
.
Vpon
what
doe
you
thinke
,
I
beseech
you
,
when
you
discharge
your
arrowes
against
the
Kings
Maiesty
,
and
the
peace
of
his
estate
?
you
that
haue
both
the
grace
and
honour
to
be
one
of
the
officers
of
his
crowne
,
and
haue
as
much
charge
and
commoditie
as
any
other
about
him
?
This
is
not
the
way
,
by
waxing
elder
,
to
grow
wiser
,
but
rather
to
counterfeit
the
Ape
,
which
the
older
it
groweth
,
the
vnhappier
it
is
.
What
?
in
a
manner
hauing
one
foote
already
in
the
graue
,
to
damne
his
owne
soule
,
and
disobay
the
King
?
and
not
onely
to
disobay
him
,
but
to
offend
him
,
in
the
dearest
thing
that
he
hath
,
and
not
onely
to
offend
him
therein
,
but
to
take
vpon
you
to
raise
his
Subiects
to
beare
armes
against
him
vnder
light
pretences
,
as
the
truth
well
sheweth
;
I
neither
know
,
nor
can
conceiue
,
how
a
man
esteemed
to
be
wise
,
whose
beard
is
gray
,
and
seemeth
to
be
of
a
stayed
iudgement
,
should
fall
into
so
great
folly
;
pardon
me
for
speaking
so
freely
:
A
Canker
must
be
lanched
and
cut
away
,
your
euill
is
no
lesse
,
and
most
dangerous
.
You
are
not
ignorant
,
that
Kings
are
the
images
of
the
liuing
God
,
that
their
wils
and
commandements
are
Lawes
to
be
specially
obserued
,
and
that
no
man
can
dispense
therewith
,
without
being
guilty
of
high
treason
,
both
diuine
and
humane
,
and
yet
,
you
haue
not
onely
ventred
to
disobey
them
,
but
also
by
a
manner
of
new
interpretation
,
haue
directly
withstood
his
commandements
.
The
King
thought
your
personall
presence
to
be
necessary
in
Metz
,
and
you
thought
the
contrary
,
and
that
your
abode
there
would
not
like
you
,
though
you
were
appointed
thereunto
;
his
Maiestie
desired
your
seruice
in
those
parts
,
and
you
would
perferre
certaine
particular
affaires
,
to
satisfie
your
owne
pleasures
and
inclinations
,
as
if
we
were
at
the
Romaines
Saturnals
.
You
must
grant
mee
this
,
that
there
are
no
examples
for
your
proceedings
,
and
that
if
in
times
past
,
there
were
rebels
and
disobedient
Subiects
,
they
alwaies
sought
to
dissemble
,
and
to
couer
and
hide
their
pretences
with
necessity
:
you
vse
not
any
such
meanes
,
but
are
rather
more
hardned
,
&
seeme
directly
and
openly
to
oppose
your selfe
against
his
Maiestie
:
What
punishment
thinke
you
doth
such
a
crime
deserue
?
One
fault
willingly
and
most
commonly
draweth
on
another
.
What
haue
you
done
since
you
came
from
Metz
?
You
haue
borne
away
the
Kings
Mother
,
and
carried
her
to
Angoulisme
,
where
you
spread
the
ensignes
of
reuolt
,
and
there
determine
vpon
warre
,
and
the
subuersion
of
the
State
?
What
audaciousnesse
is
this
,
and
whatan
enterprise
haue
you
vndertaken
,
to
circumuent
the
intents
of
a
good
Mother
,
towards
her
deare
Sonne
;
to
trouble
and
set
at
variance
the
harmony
and
consent
of
their
wils
;
to
shake
,
and
as
it
were
to
breake
the
bond
of
nature
,
and
violently
to
pull
out
of
so
great
a
Princes
brest
,
the
loue
which
she
oweth
to
her
Sonne
,
to
her
King
,
and
to
him
that
specially
loueth
her
?
Miserable
man
,
(
if
I
must
needes
vse
this
tearme
)
what
is
your
pretence
?
To
ruinate
his
Maiesties
affaires
,
and
to
ouerthrow
and
subuert
the
publique
peace
of
the
Land
?
It
is
the
conceit
of
a
franticke
braine
,
gouerned
by
the
author
of
malice
:
Doe
you
not
think
and
perswade
your selfe
,
that
reason
once
taking
place
,
but
that
the
Queene
will
condemne
your
pernicious
designes
,
and
the
proceedings
that
you
haue
caused
her
to
vse
?
there
is
no
doubt
thereof
,
your
forces
cannot
altogether
breake
and
dissipate
the
principall
motions
of
her
suggestions
,
which
are
Nature
and
the
feare
of
God
,
able
and
sufficient
to
driue
away
the
clouds
and
fictions
wherewith
you
serue
your
turne
:
The
common
people
,
manifestly
see
it
,
and
curse
you
,
as
often
as
they
behold
and
looke
into
the
euils
which
you
bring
vpon
them
:
They
know
that
his
Maiestie
is
a
most
Christian
Prince
,
that
he
loueth
his
Mother
perfectly
well
,
and
that
he
neuer
gaue
any
iust
cause
to
procure
this
euasion
:
They
are
assured
and
otherwise
comforted
,
that
this
separation
cannot
continue
long
:
Their
mutuall
desire
already
is
to
see
one
another
,
and
to
shew
the
effects
of
their
reciprocall
loues
:
Expect
not
then
to
fortifie
the
weakenesse
of
your
cause
,
by
the
detention
of
the
Queenes
person
;
you
shall
neuer
haue
the
consent
of
her
heart
and
will
,
to
the
ruine
of
the
State
,
and
her
owne
glory
.
But
this
is
not
all
,
I
must
begin
againe
,
and
leade
you
to
the
execution
of
that
which
this
burning
feuer
enduceth
in
your
fantasie
.
You
haue
disobayed
,
&
allienated
(
as
you
pretend
)
the
Queenes
intents
,
you
must
now
blame
the
gouernement
both
within
and
without
the
Realme
,
and
in
all
places
proclaime
warre
,
and
the
desolation
of
your
Countrey
;
wherein
specially
your
designe
cannot
take
effect
.
Forraigne
Princes
honour
,
&
too
much
desire
the
amity
and
alliance
of
our
Monarch
;
they
haue
seene
miracles
,
as
it
were
,
in
his
actions
,
and
that
in
his
young
yeares
,
with
a
manly
and
resolute
generositie
,
he
hath
danted
the
monsters
of
his
Realme
,
and
by
an
admirable
care
and
wisedome
,
procured
peace
to
those
that
had
warre
;
which
is
the
cause
,
that
by
a
generall
consent
they
giue
him
the
glorious
title
of
the
Arbitrator
of
Christendome
;
and
his
amity
is
so
desirable
and
profitable
,
that
such
as
are
admitted
thereunto
(
how
farre
distant
soeuer
they
be
)
sleepe
and
take
their
rests
,
without
any
apprehension
of
trouble
;
how
then
will
they
vnderstand
your
clamours
,
vnlesse
it
be
to
blame
and
condemne
them
?
The
peace
that
we
enioy
,
is
an
euident
testimony
of
the
piety
,
iustice
,
and
prouidence
of
our
King
;
and
therefore
it
is
impossible
that
your
inuentions
should
destroy
the
truth
,
and
that
which
we
see
with
our
owne
eyes
,
in
such
manner
,
that
if
in
long
time
,
there
hath
beene
a
happy
raigne
in
France
,
it
is
now
at
this
present
,
where
all
Orders
and
degrees
are
seene
to
flourish
;
Vertue
therein
is
commended
,
and
Pietie
(
the
true
support
of
the
State
)
particularly
adored
,
where
our
King
is
as
it
were
,
a
perfect
modell
;
Ecclesiasticall
persons
are
reuerenced
,
and
called
to
counsell
in
his
Maiesties
most
important
affaires
,
they
enioy
and
possesse
their
reuenewes
without
trouble
;
the
Nobility
are
loued
and
respected
;
Iustice
is
indifferently
and
without
feare
executed
;
the
Commons
are
not
oppressed
nor
charged
with
Subsidies
or
new
impositions
;
and
all
estates
together
,
haue
nothing
so
much
in
recommendation
,
nor
so
deare
,
as
this
good
King
,
for
whose
health
and
prosperity
they
daily
make
their
feruent
prayers
vnto
God
.
How
then
should
they
be
moued
to
offence
?
and
that
to
accommodate
your
humours
,
they
should
set
fire
on
their
houses
,
and
ruinate
and
spoile
one
the
other
,
after
that
to
expect
nothing
else
but
misery
in
this
life
,
and
damnation
in
the
life
to
come
?
I
know
assuredly
,
that
you
specially
build
your
designes
vpon
the
inconstancy
of
the
popularity
,
as
if
the
consideration
of
your
person
,
or
of
any
others
,
were
of
more
importance
vnto
them
,
then
the
Kings
,
and
their
owne
preseruation
:
Therein
you
are
deceiued
;
the
loue
and
obedience
that
they
beare
and
owe
vnto
him
,
are
by
Gods
owne
finger
ingrauen
in
their
hearts
,
with
a
caracter
impossible
to
be
defaced
,
and
your
name
is
execrable
,
as
the
sworne
enemy
of
their
good
:
they
openly
report
and
say
,
that
it
is
impossible
that
he
which
is
wicked
&
cruell
against
his
own
children
,
should
euer
be
good
to
others
;
that
he
which
seeketh
the
ruine
&
subuersion
of
his
natiue
Country
,
vnworthy
of
humaine
society
:
that
the
poyson
of
your
venemous
heart
hath
long
time
appeared
,
and
that
it
ought
and
should
be
choaked
in
the
birth
;
that
the
spots
and
vncleanenesse
of
your
soule
,
and
the
counsels
which
your
actions
haue
imposed
vpon
it
,
makes
you
play
the
last
act
of
your
Tragedy
.
To
conclude
and
be
short
,
they
are
willing
to
contribute
and
giue
fire
and
fagot
to
consume
the
author
of
so
many
mischiefes
.
I
disscribe
all
these
circumstances
vnto
you
without
flattery
,
to
let
you
see
the
state
wherevnto
your
affaires
are
reduced
.
Tell
me
now
,
who
hath
brought
you
to
these
extreamities
?
Is
it
the
discontentment
of
the
Queene
?
she
had
no
other
but
that
onely
which
you
haue
procured
;
and
say
that
she
had
,
doth
it
belong
to
you
to
intermeddle
with
the
difference
that
is
between
Princes
?
It
is
not
like
that
of
yours
:
The
Sonne
and
the
Mother
would
soone
haue
agreed
together
,
and
good
endeauour
would
haue
reduced
all
things
to
their
true
ends
:
Therein
you
are
two-fold
culpable
;
one
by
shewing
your
euill
will
;
the
other
by
seeking
to
set
diuision
betweene
the
Sonne
and
the
Mother
,
the
Subiect
and
the
King
,
and
a
loue
which
could
not
be
broken
,
but
by
the
impiteous
windes
of
your
sinister
counsels
.
It
may
be
,
ye
will
alleadge
that
you
are
none
of
his
Maiesties
priuie-Counsellours
,
and
your
honour
is
such
that
you
would
know
all
,
that
you
may
enterprise
much
;
let
vs
reason
boldly
:
The
counsell
which
the
King
now
hath
,
is
the
same
that
his
Father
had
,
who
by
his
valorous
actions
,
and
wise
conduction
,
was
called
the
wonder
of
Kings
:
That
great
King
,
made
profit
of
mens
actions
,
and
perfectly
vnderstood
the
mindes
of
his
subiects
,
and
yet
he
neuer-made
you
priuie
to
the
counsell
of
his
most
important
affaires
:
He
was
content
to
doe
you
good
,
and
to
continue
you
in
the
Offices
that
you
enioyed
;
must
you
then
complaine
,
that
the
King
his
sonne
,
and
successour
in
his
vertues
,
followeth
the
same
course
and
counsell
,
by
the
ayde
and
dexterity
whereof
,
he
had
giuen
vs
a
generall
peace
,
and
almost
a
golden
world
?
Beleeue
mee
,
rather
praise
and
commend
that
good
King
,
who
in
a
manner
had
buried
in
obliuion
the
memorie
of
that
which
you
know
,
and
which
I
dare
not
touch
,
fearing
to
offend
his
indulgence
:
I
leaue
it
to
the
registers
of
the
Court
of
Parliament
.
Is
it
possible
that
you
should
be
discontented
,
that
his
Maiesty
affecteth
,
and
doth
good
to
some
one
of
his
Seruitors
,
more
then
to
you
.
I
thinke
you
are
not
at
that
point
;
for
what
other
should
that
then
be
,
but
to
shew
your selfe
vnthankefull
for
,
and
to
condemne
that
which
Henry
the
third
did
for
you
?
He
loued
you
most
particularly
,
and
gaue
you
all
that
you
enioy
,
besides
8000.
Franks
yearely
reuenews
.
This
your
great
fortune
,
was
much
enuyed
,
and
many
men
spake
thereof
,
to
your
preiudice
,
which
reason
denyed
:
I
remember
that
some
in
respect
of
you
said
,
that
men
in
Kings
hands
,
are
like
vnto
Counters
which
they
make
to
value
as
much
as
they
thinke
good
:
And
that
there
was
neuer
any
Monarch
,
but
that
shewed
some
proofes
of
particular
affections
,
which
in
truth
are
Royall
actions
,
worthy
of
commendation
.
And
it
is
no
small
good
,
to
a
great
Prince
,
to
make
a
good
choyse
of
,
and
to
haue
faithfull
seruitors
about
him
,
with
securitie
and
familiarity
,
to
whom
hee
may
discouer
and
disclose
his
heart
,
and
thoughts
:
Euery
one
of
vs
see
it
by
experience
,
and
finde
nothing
more
pleasing
and
acceptable
,
then
to
impart
and
vnfold
our
affaires
vnto
,
and
with
those
whose
affections
and
amities
are
well
knowne
vnto
vs
.
Our
King
loueth
with
great
iudgement
,
hee
knoweth
and
will
acknowledge
the
merit
and
fidelitie
wherewith
he
hath
bin
serued
;
I
meane
,
the
more
he
(
specially
)
whom
he
loueth
,
hath
amiable
quallities
and
worthy
the
estimation
of
a
King
.
I
will
not
particularize
them
,
nor
proceed
further
in
this
subiect
,
only
I
will
say
,
that
we
must
hold
all
that
for
Law
,
which
pleaseth
the
Prince
,
and
that
for
their
sake
,
we
must
loue
those
whom
they
loue
,
much
lesse
ought
wee
to
enuye
and
hate
them
:
It
should
in
truth
be
a
most
hard
thing
,
and
without
all
likelihood
or
apparance
of
reason
for
Subiects
to
impose
lawes
to
their
soueraignes
,
and
to
master
their
pleasures
and
affections
,
they
themselues
being
free
in
their
owne
particular
houses
,
to
loue
and
to
doe
good
to
those
to
whom
they
will
;
and
I
say
further
,
that
the
fauour
and
fortune
whereof
wee
speake
,
altereth
not
that
which
is
due
vnto
Princes
,
neither
yet
abateth
any
thing
of
the
aduantage
and
estimation
of
the
Nobilitie
,
nor
vseth
any
violence
or
euill
entertainement
towards
others
,
whereby
we
may
truly
say
,
that
no
man
can
nor
may
dislike
or
contradict
it
,
but
onely
of
meere
enuy
,
the
sworne
enimy
of
all
good
actions
,
and
of
the
aduancement
and
greatnesse
of
vertuous
men
.
This
is
the
Table
or
Portraiture
which
I
thought
good
to
set
before
your
eyes
,
without
dissimulation
,
to
let
you
see
the
greatnesse
of
your
faults
,
and
the
extreamity
whereinto
you
are
falne
.
It
may
be
you
will
be
grieued
that
I
display
them
so
openly
;
I
protest
that
I
haue
not
set
them
all
downe
,
and
that
without
doing
wrong
to
you
,
and
to
mine
owne
intent
,
I
could
not
say
lesse
.
My
purpose
is
herein
to
set
downe
sufficient
to
perswade
you
to
the
truth
,
and
to
search
the
wound
to
the
bottome
,
to
the
end
,
that
hauing
any
feeling
,
you
your selfe
may
seeke
how
to
heale
it
;
you
should
doe
it
while
time
serueth
:
This
is
the
aduice
which
I
will
giue
you
.
A
Lampe
goeth
out
if
you
put
too
much
moysture
vnto
it
;
acknowledge
that
your
too
great
estate
hath
reduced
you
to
this
point
of
great
losse
,
and
not
yours
onely
,
but
your
childrens
,
whom
you
cruelly
drew
into
your
rebellions
.
Kings
haue
Iron
armes
;
for
Gods
sake
stay
not
till
our
King
lifts
vp
his
,
you
will
surely
be
broken
in
pieces
with
the
blow
;
preuent
it
by
humility
,
certainely
his
Matesty
is
iust
and
benigne
;
hee
punisheth
and
exterminateth
obstinate
Rebells
,
but
he
pardoneth
those
that
aske
mercy
and
forgiuenesse
.
It
is
the
onely
hauen
wherein
you
shall
finde
hope
of
reliefe
,
refer
your selfe
with
a
good
heart
freely
vnto
his
bounty
,
and
you
shall
not
be
deceiued
in
your
expectation
.
Suffer
the
Queene
to
be
at
libertie
to
revnite
and
ioyne
her
affections
with
her
Sonnes
;
let
your
children
be
suerties
and
pledges
of
your
libertie
,
let
them
fall
downe
at
his
Maiesties
feete
,
to
protest
and
warrant
your
amendment
,
and
your
most
humble
submissions
to
full
fill
all
obedience
in
time
to
come
:
Discharge
your
Souldiers
,
and
let
euery
place
sound
the
praise
of
so
compleat
a
Prince
,
and
your
resolution
to
die
in
his
seruice
.
I
am
without
doubt
perswaded
,
that
this
proceeding
will
be
acceptable
vnto
him
,
and
that
following
the
example
of
Henry
the
great
,
his
father
,
he
will
imbrace
and
preserue
you
.
What
glory
(
my
Lord
)
will
it
be
vnto
you
to
haue
appeased
the
wrath
of
so
puissant
a
Prince
?
To
haue
of
your selfe
reobtained
his
fauour
?
To
haue
pacified
the
tumult
which
you
had
raised
in
his
Realme
?
To
haue
procured
peace
to
your
owne
soule
,
and
rest
vnto
your
latest
daies
,
and
to
haue
reestablished
the
state
and
fortunes
of
your
Children
.
I
beseech
God
gine
you
grace
earnestly
to
thinke
vpon
these
things
,
and
to
put
them
in
effect
:
I
desire
and
wish
it
more
then
any
other
,
that
I
may
see
you
restored
,
and
haue
the
meanes
hereafter
to
say
,
as
I
haue
hether
done
that
I
rest
Your
most
humble
and
most
affectioned
seruant
