The
Introduction
.
HEauen
beeing
Gods
Throne
,
and
Earth
his
Footstoole
,
it
is
impossible
any
thing
can
bee
here
spoken
and
acted
,
but
wil
there
be
heard
,
revealed
and
detected
;
for
not
onely
our
hearts
but
our
thoughts
,
not
only
our
tongues
but
our
intents
,
lye
open
and
are
obvious
&
transparent
,
to
the
glorious
and
relucent
eyes
of
Gods
most
sacred
Maiestie
,
who
being
the
sole
Architector
,
&
preseruer
both
of
Heauen
and
Earth
,
rules
that
by
his
presence
,
this
by
his
providence
,
and
both
by
his
power
;
and
that
we
Men
are
not
by
many
thousand
degrees
so
great
in
his
eyes
,
as
the
smallest
Pysmires
are
in
ours
;
who
lookes
still
on
our
Designes
and
Actions
,
sometimes
with
approbation
,
now
with
pitie
,
then
with
contempt
,
and
anon
with
Choller
&
Indignation
,
being
himselfe
the
prime
Presydent
,
the
great
Moderator
,
the
mightie
Councellor
,
the
eternall
and
euerlasting
Jehovah
;
who
can
and
will
giue
Lawes
to
all
the
Kings
and
Princes
of
the
earth
,
as
they
doe
to
their
subjects
,
by
their
subordinate
,
and
yet
transcendent
power
,
drawn
from
his
most
sacred
Majestie
of
Heaven
,
as
the
Starres
who
actually
deriue
their
light
,
&
borrow
their
lustre
from
the
refulgent
beames
,
and
glorious
bodie
of
the
Sun
.
And
as
this
great
God
seated
in
his
Coelestiall
throne
of
Glory
,
with
his
all-seeing
and
sacred
eyes
beholds
in
Heaven
the
thoughts
and
actions
of
men
heer
on
earth
,
so
likewise
out
of
his
indulgent
mercy
and
prouidence
he
likewise
giues
the
same
authority
and
power
to
his
Angels
,
Saincts
and
Martyrs
,
to
do
the
like
;
who
clad
in
white
Robes
,
the
Ornaments
of
sanctitie
and
puritie
,
with
Palme
branches
in
their
hands
the
Emblems
of
Peace
and
Ioy
,
and
Crownes
and
Coronets
on
their

the

and

of

Follow

wheresoever

Glory

Peace

By
vertue
of
which
Deuine

the

of
Spaines
boundlesse
Ambition
being
discouered
&
pulled
off
,
in
supporting
the
Pope
,
&
seeking
the
encrease
of
his
spirituall
Iurisdiction
,
whereby
his
Holinesse
in
Exchange
,
may
enlarge
that
of
Spaines
temporall
Monarchy
,
so
as
that
shall
haue
feet
to
goe
,
and
these
wings
to
flie
to
the
height
of
earthly
greatnesse
;
whereby
the
Catholike
Kings
ayme
,
out
of
the
ruines
of
Rome
and
Germany
,
to
erect
another
Empire
in
the
West
,
and
endeauour
by
degrees
to
make
most
of
the
Kingdomes
and
Free
Estates
of
Europe
become
Provinces
unto
Spaine
;
as
,
some
by
force
,
some
by
policie
,
some
by
treachery
,
and
now
England
by
the
Match
of
the
Infanta
his
Daughter
,
with
our
most
Illustrious
and
Royall
Prince
Charles
(
next
to
his
Royall
Father
King
Iames
,
our
most
Dread
Soueraigne
)
the
hope
of
Englands
life
,
and
the
life
of
its
Ioy
and
hope
.
I
say
the
newes
of
these
projects
and
resolutions
of
Spaine
,
hauing
with
as
much
fortunary
as
celeritie
)
passed
the
Clouds
,
and
pierced
the
vaults
and
windowes
of
Heaven
,
it
fast
arriued
there
,
to
the
vnderstanding
of
that
immortall
maiden
Queen
Elizebeth
,
whose
heart
ever
loued
England
as
her
soule
did
Heaven
,
and
of
whose
flourishing
welfare
and
prosperity
I
cannot
truly
averre
,
whether
she
still
remayne
more
jealous
or
ambitious
;
Whereat
grieuing
with
as
much
disdaine
,
as
she
disdained
with
griefe
,
&
knowing
that
her
Nephew
and
God-sonne
Prince
Henry
,
participated
and
burned
in
her
zeale
,
that
the
insatiable
and
bloud-thirsty
Ambition
of
Spaine
,
might
not
erect
his
Trophees
vpon
the
Tombe
of
Englands
downfall
,
and
the
ruines
of
her
subversion
,
she
speedily
acquaints
him
with
it
;
whom
although
Heaven
had
purified
and
devested
of
his
Earthly
passions
,
yet
such
was
this
young
Prince
,
his
never
dying
zeale
to
Englands
ever
living
Glory
,
that
his
Highness
could
not
refraine
from
looking
red
with
anger
,
and
pale
with
feare
,
at
the
report
&
knowledge
thereof
.
They
consult
hereon
,
and
hold
it
both
expedient
and
necessary
to
acquaint
other
English
Princes
herewith
,
especially
those
whom
they
knew
stood
deeply
and
sincerely
affected
to
England
.
So
Prince
Henry
acquaints
his
Mother
Queen
Anne
herewith
,
&
Queen
Elizabeth
her
Brother
King
Edward
6.
and
both
they
their
Father
King
Henry
8.
who
so
upon
advise
hereof
could
not
refraine
to
looke
on
England
with
the
eyes
of
affection
and
pitie
,
and
on
Spaine
with
those
of
indignation
and
contempt
.
So
these
fiue
great
Princes
and
Queens
prepare
themselues
to
Consult
on
this
most
important
busines
,
when
loe
they
are
suddenly
met
and
assayled
,
with
a
doubt
of
no
mean
consequence
and
consideration
viz.
Whether
,
or
no
they
should
admit
and
receiue
Queen
Mary
into
this
their
Consultation
,
whom
not
her
Roman
merits
,
but
the
praiers
,
of
the
Protestants
had
brought
to
Heauen
;
When
at
first
they
considring
that
in
heart
&
soule
,
she
alwaies
loved
,
and
preferred
Rome
and
Spaine
before
England
;
they
resolved
to
exclude
her
,
but
at
last
(
upon
riper
and
more
mature
deliberation
)
considering
that
she
knew
many
secrets
of
Spaine
,
whereof
peradventure
they
were
ignorant
;
as
also
that
from
her
innate
&
inveterate
malice
to
England
,
she
might
(
either
in
jest
or
earnest
)
bewray
somthing
that
might
turne
and
redound
to
the
good
of
England
,
they
all
consented
she
should
bee
advertised
hereof
,
and
so
admitted
;
which
was
instantly
performed
;
and
as
the
rest
of
these
Royall
Princes
envied
Spaines
ambition
,
and
pitied
Englands
dangers
;
So
to
speak
the
truth
,
and
no
more
,
Queen
Mary
(
still
resembling
herselfe
)
both
in
her
speeches
and
lookes
testified
the
contrary
;
Vowing
that
as
she
loued
Philip
the
II.
the
Father
,
so
shee
would
still
honour
Philip
the
III.
his
Sonne
.
Thus
these
three
Princes
and
three
Queenes
,
not
daring
to
consult
in
Heaven
on
any
thing
,
without
permission
of
the
Superiour
powers
,
they
all
reprayre
to
the
sacred
throne
of
the
Lambe
,
(
of
that
Great
Maker
and
conducter
of
Heaven
and
earth
)
whose
Tribunall
is
environed
with
more
sparkling
and
bvrning
Sunnes
,
then
we
see
Starres
in
the
Firmament
;
and
who
is
waited
and
atended
on
by
many
millons
and
Maryades
of
Angels
;
Where
in
signe
of
Gods
glory
and
their
humilitie
,
these
Royall
personages
fall
on
their
faces
to
his
blessed
feet
,
and
so
proffer
vp
their
Petition
to
his
heauenly
Majestie
to
haue
authority
,
and
place
given
them
to
Consult
on
this
important
businesse
betwixt
England
and
Spaine
.
There
petition
read
and
considered
,
God
out
of
the
profunditie
of
his
immense
affection
and
favour
,
towards
the
prosperity
of
England
,
(
Wherein
for
the
space
of
well
neere
One
hundred
yeares
,
his
Sacred
Maiestie
hath
seen
himselfe
truely
served
and
glorified
)
ratifies
their
request
,
and
approues
and
authoriseth
their
sitting
;
When
departing
from
Gods
most
sacred
throne
;
they
were
by
a
full
Quire
of
Angels
with
Trumpets
&
Tymbrels
in
their
hands
,
vshered
into
the
golden
Star-chamber
of
Heaven
,
which
was
purposely
prepared
for
them
;
when
taking
their
severall
seates
,
the
doore
shut
,
and
guarded
by
Englands
Tutulary
Angell
,
with
a
naked
brandished
sword
in
his
hand
,
all
things
being
hushed
vp
in
silence
,
and
all
heavenly
duties
and
ceremonies
performed
,
these
sixe
Royall
personages
begin
their
Consultation
in
this
manner
.
The
Consultation
.
H.
8.
BEfore
we
descend
to
speak
of
Spaines
ambition
and
Envie
towards
England
,
or
of
the
Match
now
in
question
betwixt
England
and
Spaine
,
with
the
dangers
which
threaten
,
&
presage
vs
wil
ensue
therof
it
will
not
be
impertinent
,
rather
necessary
;
that
we
mount
up
the
steps
of
this
last
century
of
yeares
,
and
so
take
a
cursory
,
though
not
a
curious
survey
,
with
what
Ambition
,
Crueltie
,
and
Treachery
,
the
Kings
of
Spaine
from
time
to
time
,
haue
knocked
at
most
Kingdoms
and
Estates
of
Europe
;
in
the
unfolding
and
dilating
whereof
,
you
must
not
expect
much
light
from
me
,
rather
I
from
your selues
,
sith
as
your
yeeres
so
your
raignes
succeed
me
.
Navarre
.
E.
6.
ANd
as
you
all
know
,
my
yeares
were
so
few
and
my
raigne
so
short
,
that
neither
these
,
nor
this
,
made
me
capable
to
diue
into
the
affaires
of
Princes
and
Kingdomes
,
and
yet
I
must
confesse
it
was
both
with
griefe
and
pitie
,
that
I
reade
,
with
what
vsurpation
and
treachery
,
Ferdinand
King
of
Aragon
depriued
Iohn
of
Albret
,
and
Katherine
his
Queene
of
their
flourishing
Kingdome
of
Navarre
,
who
for
meere
griefe
and
sorrow
dyed
immediately
after
,
having
no
other
claime
nor
title
to
this
Kingdome
,
but
an
insatiable
desire
of
Empire
and
Dominion
,
which
the
Aragonois
,
and
Castilians
wonne
with
the
points
of
their
Swords
.
Q.
M.
O
but
Navarre
lay
fit
and
commodious
for
the
Provinces
of
old
Castille
,
Biscay
,
&
Galasia
,
besides
the
Kings
of
Spaine
are
the
Catholique
Kings
,
&
therfore
it
is
both
proper
and
naturall
for
them
to
bee
vniuersall
.
Q.
E.
It
is
indeed
both
naturall
&
proper
to
them
to
be
ambitious
and
tyrannicall
,
for
I
am
confident
,
that
as
Catholique
as
they
are
,
they
loue
Earths
Empire
,
better
then
Heauens
Glory
;
and
sure
I
cannot
but
lament
to
see
Navarre
made
a
Prouince
to
Spain
,
which
more
is
the
griefe
of
Christendome
,
and
the
shame
of
the
Royall
line
of
Burbon
,
now
the
French
King
,
whose
patrimonie
and
inheritance
it
is
,
and
will
not
King
Lewes
recouer
it
.
P.
H.
Had
Great
Henry
his
Father
lived
,
he
would
vndoubtedly
haue
reconquered
Navarre
with
as
much
glory
,
as
it
was
lost
with
shame
and
pitie
;
yea
the
Turrets
of
Pampelone
,
and
Fonterarby
,
had
long
since
cast
off
the
ragged
Staffe
,
to
beate
out
the
three
Flower
de
Luces
.
Q.
A.
So
mought
King
Lewes
his
Son
too
,
if
the
Pope
and
Iesuites
diverted
not
his
thoughts
from
that
honourable
and
glorious
Enterprise
.
E.
6.
Surely
it
is
against
the
lawes
of
Conscience
,
and
the
rules
of
Religion
,
for
the
Kings
of
Spaine
thus
to
vsurpe
Navarre
,
or
were
they
so
just
,
as
they
pretend
they
were
holy
,
they
would
restore
and
not
retayne
this
Kingdome
.
Q.
M.
O
the
Catholique
Kings
are
too
wise
to
commit
such
grosse
Errours
of
State
,
as
to
restore
;
for
it
is
Conquest
and
Possession
,
and
no
way
restitution
,
which
affoords
them
best
melody
;
Besides
,
sith
they
are
the
Catholique
Kings
,
they
cannot
be
irreligious
much
lesse
vncharitable
.
H.
8.
Why
then
Davghter
,
the
Kings
of
Spaine
are
of
Pirrhus
and
Lysanders
mind
,
whose
limits
and
confines
of
their
Countries
they
held
so
farre
,
as
their
Swords
and
Lances
could
extend
them
.
Which
being
so
,
they
are
onely
Catholique
in
title
,
not
in
effect
,
much
lesse
in
heart
or
soule
,
for
if
Vsurpation
be
Religion
,
I
know
not
what
is
Heresie
.
E.
6.
The
Pope
may
,
but
our
Sauiour
Christ
,
never
authorised
or
approved
Vsurpation
.
Q.
M.
But
the
Kings
of
Spaine
know
the
Popes
will
and
pleasure
,
as
they
doe
Gods
,
and
this
beliefe
I
am
sure
is
both
Catholique
and
Apostolicall
.
Q.
E.
See
see
with
how
much
ignorance
&
wilfulnesse
,
with
what
blind
zeale
and
poore
implicit
faith
,
my
Sister
is
perpetually
lincked
to
Rome
and
Spaine
.
P.
H.
If
so
Vsurpation
be
Romes
Doctrine
,
&
Spaines
Delight
and
practise
,
my
soule
did
well
to
make
me
hate
the
one
,
and
detest
the
other
.
The
West
Indyes
,
or
New
Spaine
.
H.
8.
BVt
leaue
we
Nauarre
weeping
and
groaning
vnder
the
burthen
of
the
miserable
seruitude
to
Spaine
;
O
how
since
Columbus
de
Cortez
,
and
Pizarro
,
(
with
as
much
judgement
as
fortunacy
(
discovered
to
Castille
the
rich
America
,
and
in
it
the
Gold
and
Siluer
mines
,
which
hath
giuen
winges
to
his
Ambition
to
flie
to
the
height
of
this
earthly
Greatnesse
,
wherein
we
see
Spaine
seated
and
founded
;
How
it
hath
both
grieued
and
amazed
me
to
vnderstand
,
how
at
Cuba
,
Hayta
,
Peru
,
Panama
,
and
Mexico
,
and
in
all
these
Vast
Iles
and
spacious
Continents
,
that
the
Spaniards
with
a
more
then
hellish
Crueltie
,
haue
slaine
such
infinite
Millions
and
Meryades
of
those
poore
Indians
,
wherby
in
a
manner
they
haue
wholly
depopulated
these
populous
Countries
,
and
not
only
made
rivers
but
whole
seas
of
their
Bloud
;
and
of
whose
inhumain
and
bloudie
Crueltie
,
I
may
justly
say
;
that
as
all
former
ages
cannot
shew
the
like
President
,
so
our
posteritie
will
difficultly
belieue
it
.
And
yet
behold
the
horrible
Hipocrisie
of
these
insulting
and
vsurping
Castillians
;
for
demaund
them
the
reason
of
these
their
bloudie
and
execrable
Massacres
,
of
those
poore
armlesse
and
harmlesse
Indians
,
and
of
the
rooting
out
and
exterminating
of
all
their
Princes
and
Nobility
,
they
with
as
much
falshood
as
impiety
will
affirme
,
that
sith
their
King
is
the
Catholike
King
,
so
this
is
to
plant
the
Catholique
faith
in
the
remote
,
and
new
found
Worldes
of
the
World
;
whereby
wee
may
obserue
,
that
Religion
must
still
bee
the
pretext
,
and
cloke
of
their
bloody
Vsurpation
,
when
Heauen
&
Earth
knowes
and
sees
,
that
it
is
first
gold
,
then
a
greedy
desire
of
Dominion
and
Empire
,
which
is
the
true
cause
,
and
sole
obiect
thereof
.
E.
6.
But
if
that
bloody
resolution
,
against
these
huge
numbers
of
poore
Indians
tooke
place
in
the
heart
and
Councell
of
Charles
5.
must
it
needs
follow
that
the
like
inhumanity
and
cruelty
should
liue
in
this
of
Phill.

his
Sonne
and
Grand-childe
:
so
as
this
blood-thirstie
malice
of
spleene
and
gall
against
there
poore
Indians
,
must
bee
hereditary
to
the
Kings
of
Spaine
,
as
now
by
custome
and
intrusion
,

Q.
E.
MY
royall
Father
obserued
well
,
that
Religion
was
only
the
pretext
,
but
welth
and
Empire
the
sole
obiect
of
Spaines
ambition
;
for
although
Charles
5.
vsurped
those
places
of
America
from
the
Indians
,
who
indeed
knew
not
Christ
;
yet
what
Religion
or
Catholique
was
that
of
Phill.
2.
his
Sonne
,
vnder
hand
to
precipitate
,
and
throw
Sebastian
King
of
Portingall
into
the
vnnecessary
and
vnfortunate
warres
of
Affrica
against
the
Moores
,
where
hee
losed
his
life
with
his
ambition
:
and
then
after
his
decease
,
to
worke
so
on
the
impotency
,
feare
,
and
ignorance
,
of
olde
King
Henry
his
successour
,
as
(
contrary
to
the
lawes
of
Iustice
and
Nature
)
to
enforce
him
to
illigitimate
Don
Anthony
the
Prior
of
Cra●o
,
who
was
the
first
and
neerest
heire
vnto
that
Crowne
and
Kingdome
,
thereby
to
exclude
him
as
indeed
he
did
,
or
if
he
had
not
an
itching
and
longing
desire
to
swallow
and
devoure
that
Kingdome
of
Portingall
▪
which
all
Christendome
and
Rome
her selfe
knew
was
still
more
Catholique
then
Spaine
,
yea
and
then
when
he
had
ingaged
his
royall
word
to
the
rest
of
the
Pretendants
,
as
the
aforesaid
Don
Anthony
,
the
Dukes
of
Savoy
and
Parma
,
Katherine
of
Maedicis
)
Queene
mother
of
France
)
and
Katherine
Dutchesse
of
Braganca
;
that
he
with
them
would
stand
to
the
sentence
of
the
Chamber
of
Lisbone
,
to
know
to
whom
the
right
of
the
Kingdom
most
properly
and
lineally
descended
.
That
then
this
King
Phill.
2.
forgat
his
conscience
to
God
,
and
his
promise
to
these
Princes
(
fearing
others
right
,
and
distrusting
his
owne
)
brought
an
Army
to
the
gates
of
Lisbone
,
ere
the
Pretendants
,
or
Portingals
themselues
dreamt
thereof
,
or
had
meanes
or
leasure
to
defend
themselues
,
whereby
such
was
insatiable
ambition
,
vsurpation
,
and
couetousnes
,
that
in
a
plain
and
setled
peace
,
he
devoured
this
rich
&
noble
Kingdome
;
making
it
not
only
tributary
but
a
Province
to
Spaine
.
And
was
this
also
Religion
,
or
to
plant
the
Catholique
faith
?
or
rather
was
it
not
manifest
treachery
,
and
apparant
vsurpation
,
sith
if
Don
Anthony
had
not
,
all
the
world
knowes
,
the
Dutches
of
Braganca
had
more
right
to
this
Kingdom
then
King
Phill.
P.H.
Yea
,
that
policy
King
Phil.
learnt
of
the
Emperour
Charles
5
▪
his
Father
,
who
when
himselfe
,
and
King
Francis
the
first
of
France
,
contended
for
the
Empire
of
Germany
,
whiles
Francis
was
bribing
of
the
Electors
,
Charles
brought
an
Army
into
the
field
,
and
so
enforced
them
to
elect
and
chuse
him
.
Q.M.
I
must
confesse
I
have
ever
held
the
Portingalls
,
to
be
zealous
and
good
Romane
Catholiques
;
but
as
Navarre
lay
fit
for
Biscay
and
Galicia
,
so
Portingall
lay
exceeding
commodious
for
Andoulosie
and
so
if
my
husband
King
Phillip
,
had
not
seconded
his
right
of
descent
by
the
law
of
his
sword
,
perhaps
hee
might
have
had
a
bad
neighbour
in
Portingall
,
which
he
and
his
Councell
timely
fore-seeing
,
they
as
wisely
prevented
.
And
howsoeuer
,
although
hee
hated
Don
Anthony
,
yet
I
know
hee
loved
the
Dutchesse
of
Braganca
well
;
but
when
we
speake
of
Crownes
and
Kingdomes
,
Religion
will
make
this
surprise
of
Portingall
a
matter
of
State
,
though
to
speake
truth
,
State
can
never
make
it
a
matter
of
Religion
.
Q.A.
How
well
King
Phillip
loved
the
Dutchesse
of
Braganca
,
I
know
not
,
but
this
I
am
sure
of
,
that
both
Monsieur
de
Boyses
,
Monsieur
de
Bisseaux
,
and
Monsieur
de
Marais
,
(
Ambassadours
with
King
Iames
my
Husband
;
for
the
two
last
French
Kings
,
Henry
4.
and
Lewes
13.
)
tolde
me
that
Phillips
hatred
and
rage
was
so
great
against
Don
Anthony
,
that
he
begged
his
body
which
lyes
in
a
Coffin
of
Lead
,
in
the
Cordeliers
Church
at
Paris
,
to
be
delivered
his
Ambassadours
,
and
so
sent
him
into
Spaine
;
but
as
they
said
,
these
two
most
Christian
Kings
their
Masters
answered
Phillip
,
that
there
was
little
Religion
,
lesse
charity
,
to
take
vp
,
and
remooue
the
ashes
of
a
dead
Prince
and
King
,
as
was
Don
Anthony
,
and
so
his
body
still
remaines
in
Paris
.
P.H.
If
Spaine
were
so
malicious
to
a
dead
Prince
,
how
ought
those
that
are
living
to
beware
and
take
heed
of
him
?
H.
8.
As
a
guilty
conscience
can
never
finde
rest
,
so
it
may
be
,
that
King
Philip
was
afraid
of
a
second
Don
Anthony
,
as
of
a
second
Sebastian
.
P.H.
But
King
Philip
3.
his
sonne
,
hath
farre
more
reason
to
feare
Don
Anthonie
his
two
Princely
Sons
,
Don
Emanuell
,
and
Don
Christopher
,
and
of
Don
Emanuell
,
his
two
generous
and
Illustrious
Sonnes
,
Don
Maurice
and
Don
Lewes
,
all
foure
living
who
are
famous
,
and
royall
reserued
Peeces
of
Shipwrack
of
that
royall
Kingdome
and
blood
of
Portingall
.
Q.M.
O
but
they
are
poore
,
and
want
friends
and
meanes
to
advance
their
iust
title
to
that
Crowne
if
they
have
any
.
E.
6.
Their
right
and
title
to
Portingall
is
iust
,
and
therefore
cannot
,
and
should
not
dye
.
Q.
E.
If
the
French
forces
had
met
mine
,
at
the
Groyne
,
Penecha
,
or
Lisbone
,
or
had
the
Portingalls
risen
,
my
Norris
,
Drake
,
and
noble
Essex
,
in
despight
of
Philip
and
his
forces
,
had
pluck'd
the
Crowne
of
Portingall
from
his
head
,
and
seated
it
on
King
Anthonies
.
P.H.
No
,
no.
Don
Anthonies
Sonnes
are
beloved
of
the
Nobilitie
of
England
,
France
,
and
the
Netherlands
,
and
Don
Emanuels
wife
,
is
Sister
to
that
valiant
and
incomparable
Captain
Maurice
of
Nassaw
,
Prince
of
Orange
.
So
if
fortune
smile
,
and
a
favourable
gale
blowe
,
these
disinherited
Portingall
Princes
may
one
day
prove
prickes
and
thornes
to
the
sides
of
Spaine
.
For
all
Portingall
knowes
,
that
their
veines
and
hearts
streame
with
pure
Portingall
blood
;
yea
,
with
the
remainder
of
the
royall
blood
of
that
Kingdom
;
which
Philip
3.
his
last
entertainement
(
together
with
the
Prince
his
Sonne
)
at
Lisbone
,
had
almost
found
true
:
but
that
his
Maiestie
departed
with
as
much
feare
,
secresie
,
and
shame
,
as
he
came
with
resolution
,
popularity
,
and
glory
:
In
the
intetrim
,
these
Portingal
Princes
remaine
prodigious
and
ominous
Comments
to
Spaine
.
Q.
M.
Did
Spaine
think
so
,
it
would
quickly
make
the
Princes
ride
Poast
into
another
world
.
Q.E.
If
Spaine
should
send
these
Princes
poast
into
another
world
,
either
by
the
backe
doore
of
poyson
,
by
the
wicket
of
poynard
,
and
not
by
the
great
and
fore-doore
of
Nature
,
it
would
draw
the
fists
of
most
Christian
Princes
about
King
Philips
eares
,
and
make
all
Portingall
solemnize
their
Funeralls
with
their
swords
drawne
,
and
their
Cities
gates
shut
.
E.
6.
Indeede
I
have
heard
that
the
Commons
,
and
especially
the
Nobility
of
Portingall
begin
extreamly
to
distaste
the
imperious
pride
,
and
ambitious
cariage
of
the
Spaniards
,
and
many
of
them
let
not
to
say
boldly
and
publiquely
,
that
Philip
enjoyes
the
Kingdome
by
vsurpation
and
not
by
right
.
Q.
M.
Not
by
right
,
Why
Pope
Gregory
14.
approued
his
Title
,
and
confirmed
his
Conquest
of
the
Kingdome
of
Portingall
.
Q.E.
So
did
not
our
Sauiour
Christ
,
whose
Successour
and
Vicar
the
Pope
pretends
himselfe
to
be
.
P.
H.
In
the
meane
time
Spaine
domineeres
at
her
Conquest
of
Portingall
,
and
well
she
may
,
for
it
is
one
of
the
fairest
flowers
of
his
Garland
,
and
of
the
richest
Diamonds
of
his
crowne
.
H.
8.
But
the
other
Kings
of
Chistendome
haue
iust
cause
and
reason
to
grieue
and
storme
hereat
,
for
as
it
was
Portingalls
mischance
then
to
fall
,
and
vaile
Bonnet
to
Spaine
,
so
it
may
be
theirs
to
morrow
,
for
to
a
Prince
and
people
so
greedy
and
ambitious
of
Empire
as
is
Spaine
,
all
fish
is
good
that
comes
to
his
hooke
or
net
.
P.H.
Thus
Spaine
devoures
Kingdomes
as
the
Cyclope
Polephemus
did
passengers
;
for
he
surprizeth
no
more
then
he
meetes
withall
,
and
yet
will
not
Christendome
beware
of
Spaine
.
Italy
.
H.
8.
WE
have
past
from
Navarre
,
the
West
Indies
,
and
Portugall
,
&
now
let
vs
come
to
Italy
to
see
how
Spaine
is
beloued
or
feared
of
the
Italians
,
and
how
he
hath
behaved
himselfe
there
.
E.
6.
In
Italy
the
King
of
Spaine
is
nayled
to
the
Pope
,
as
most
of
the
Colledge
of
Cardinalls
,
and
all
the
Iesuites
are
to
him
;
yea
,
he
hath
the
greatest
and
richest
territories
thereof
,
as
the
Kingdome
of
Naples
,
the
Dutchy
of
Millane
,
and
the
Island
of
Cicily
,
and
(
in
a
manner
,
the
Marquesse
of
Monaco
,
and
Finall
,
the
Dukes
of
Montova
,
Parma
and
Vrbin
;
the
Princes
of
Massa
,
and
Piombino
,
with
the
free
States
Genova
and
Luca
doe
all
march
vnder
his
banner
,
and
call
onely
on
his
name
;
yea
,
he
hath
so
incircled
the
Pope
as
hee
is
rather
his
prisoner
,
then
his
spirituall
Father
,
for
if
his
patrimony
of
St.
Peter
be
the
Temple
,
his
Naples
and
Millane
is
the
Cloyster
to
impall
it
;
so
as
hee
hath
no
impeachment
or
obstacle
from
making
himself
sole
Lord
of
Italy
,
but
the
great
Duke
of
Tuscany
,
and
the
prudent
and
potent
Seignorie
of
Venice
.
Q.M.
O
but
the
Pope
need
not
feare
the
King
of
Spaine
,
for
Spaine
is
the
Popes
hand
,
so
the
Pope
is
Spaines
tongue
:
For
the
Catholike
King
is
his
Holinesse
Champion
;
and
his
Holinesse
the
King
of
Spaines
Oracle
.
E.
6.
I
had
thought
that
the
Popes
alwayes
loved
the
King
of
France
better
then
those
of
Spaine
.
Q.
E.
O
no
,
there
is
reason
to
the
contrary
,
for
Spaine
hath
receiued
Romes
hellish
and
bloody
Inquisition
,
and
France
is
so
wise
and
couragious
,
as
it
reiecterh
and
disdaines
it
.
P.
H.
Nay
,
there
is
another
reason
likewise
;
for
although
the
former
Kings
of
France
were
brave
and
victorious
,
yet
king
Lewes
that
now
is
feares
the
Pope
and
loves
him
not
,
whereas
king
Phill.
of
Spaine
loves
him
,
but
feares
him
not
.
Q.M.
If
the
Popes
had
not
loved
Spain
,
they
would
neuer
haue
given
him
Naples
&
Cicilly
,
nor
permitted
him
to
inioy
that
rich
&
populous
Dutchy
of
Millan
,
which
is
the
patrimony
of
the
house
of
Orleans
,
and
is
now
fallen
to
the
right
of
France
.
Q.E.
Surely
there
is
a
great
Vnion
betweene
the
Popes
and
the
Kings
of
Spaine
,
for
Spaine
makes
the
Pope
ride
on
his
pontificall
Chaire
,
and
the
Pope
makes
Spaine
flie
in
Phaetons
Chariot
,
about
the
foure
corners
of
Christendome
.
P.
H.
But
the
Pope
loued
not
Spaine
so
well
,
to
giue
him
either
the
Marquisat
of
An●●nitana
,
or
the
Dutchy
of
Ferrara
,
when
he
begged
it
of
him
by
his
Ambassadours
.
H.
8.
But
did
Spaine
seeke
Ferrara
,
and
the
Marca
of
Ancona
of
the
Pope
?
Q.M.
Yea
,
and
vpon
good
grounds
and
solid
reasons
too
,
for
that
lay
commodious
for
Millane
,
and
this
for
Naples
,
and
both
would
serue
as
Bridges
to
passe
into
that
braue
and
proud
State
of
Venice
.
The
State
of
Venice
.
Q.E.
NOw
you
speak
of
the
grave
and
Noble
Venetians
;
as
they
haue
long
since
pull'd
off
the
Maske
of
Spaines
itching
desire
to
deflowre
their
beautifull
Adriatike
Sea
Nimph
:
so
they
haue
resolved
no
more
to
trust
Spaniards
.
For
of
late
(
notwithstanding
their
prudent
decree
to
the
contrary
,
grounded
vpon
some
priuate
reasons
of
State
)
they
both
thinke
in
their
hearts
,
and
know
in
their
soules
and
consciences
,
that
it
was
only
the
ambition
&
double
Pistols
of
Spaine
,
that
laid
the
foundation
of
the
last
treacherous
and
execrable
attempt
against
their
Citie
;
and
consequently
against
their
whole
State
,
notwithstanding
that
some
perfidious
Frenchmen
(
degenerating
from
the
honour
of
their
Country
and
Ancestors
)
were
corrupted
and
seduced
(
by
the
gold
and
flattering
promises
of
Spaine
)
to
bee
the
chiefest
Agents
,
and
forlorn
Hope
in
that
damnable
attempt
and
to
make
this
as
cleare
and
apparent
as
the
Sunne
,
That
Illustrious
and
wise
Senate
well
knowes
,
that
at
that
very
instant
,
and
nick
thereof
,
the
Duke
of
Ossuna
(
Vice-roy
of
Naples
)
hovered
with
his
Fleet
and
Land
forces
to
lay
hold
,
and
embrace
that
occasion
.
Q.M.
Sure
Sister
you
wrong
the
Duke
of
Ossuna
,
and
in
him
king
Philip
his
Maister
;
for
I
haue
heard
that
the
said
Duke
did
then
Arme
vpon
newes
of
a
great
Fleet
of
Gallyes
comming
from
Constantinople
to
Rhodes
,
vpon
the
irruption
of
intelligence
betwixt
the
great
Turke
and
the
French
King
,
for
the
eseape
of
the
Polonian
Prince
Coreski
:
for
the
which
the
Barron
of
Sancy
,
the
French
Ambassadour
was
at
least
confined
,
if
not
imprisoned
at
Constantinople
,
and
that
therfore
for
the
safety
of
the
kingdom
of
Naples
,
it
behoved
the
said
Duke
to
fortifie
his
Ports
of
Apulia
,
Ottranto
,
and
Calabria
,
as
well
with
Fleets
as
Regiments
.
P.H.
The
King
of
Spaines
Ministers
never
want
pretexts
and
evasions
for
their
designes
;
but
if
the
Duke
of
Ossuna
for
affirming
hereof
,
should
sweare
Botta
Dios
,
and
par
la
Sanctissiam
Virgina
,
till
he
were
damn'd
,
yet
that
wise
Senate
,
&
especially
the
Councell
of
Tenn
,
will
never
beleeve
him
.
Q.E.
O
but
Ossuna
and
the
King
of
Spaine
his
Master
,
shall
give
me
leave
to
joyne
in
opinion
with
the
prudent
Venetians
;
and
therfore
I
highly
praise
their
foresight
,
and
applaude
their
generosity
,
in

Army
on

Seas
,
and

Garisons
in
their
Castles
and
Cities
,
for
the
security
of
their
State
,
as
also
for
keeping
of

and
their
Arsenall

H.

But
hath
Spaine
offered
the
Seignory
of
Venice
,
no
other
wrongs
and
offronts
but
this
?
Q.E.
O
yes
,
for
although
that
prudent
State
say
little
,
yet
they
remember
,
(
and
will
not
forget
)
how
busie
his
Ambassadour
and
Agents
were
at
Rome
,
to
give
fire
to
the
quarrell
betweene
Pope
Paulus
Quintus
and
themselues
,
about
banishing
the
Iesuites
from
their
State
,
and
for
imprisoning
the
Chanon
of
Vincensa
;
as
also
how
readily
and
earnestly
they
proffered
the
Pope
,
that
a
great
Spanish
and
Neopolitan
Army
should
instantly
enter
their
State
,
and
put
all
to
fire
and
sword
.
P.H.
And
they
likewise
remember
,
how
the
King
of
Spaine
(
that
thereby
his
Regiments
mought
fish
in
troubled
waters
,
&
get
firme
footing
in
their
Country
)
hath
often
incens'd
this
Emperour
Ferdinand
then
Duke
of
Gratz
,
to
invade
their
frontier
Townes
in
Friull
,
and
the
Trevisan
.
Q·E.
But
Nova
Palma
Brescia
,
Pescare
,
and
Verona
,
are
obstacles
and
stops
to
the
Designes
both
of
the
Emperour
,
and
King
of
Spaine
;
yea
that
wise
State
,
is
so
watchfull
and
vigilant
,
that
in
time
of
peace
they
make
their
greatest
preparations
for
Warre
:
And
it
were
a
blessed
happinesse
and
a
safe
felicity
,
for
most
Kingdomes
and
Estates
of
Christendome
,
if
herein
they
would
emulate
and
imitate
the
example
of
these
wise
and
noble
Venetians
,
which
is
neither
to
trust
,
much
lesse
to
feare
Spaine
.
Q.M.
But
as
wise
and
as
strong
as
the
Venetians
are
,
as
their
Church
and
Pallace
of
St.
Marke
,
was
not
built
in
a
day
,
so
are
not
all
the
Designes
and
resolutions
of
the
King
of
Spaine
,
and
therefore
a
time
may
come
,
but
I
say
no
more
▪
Q.
A.
O
,
I
gesse
at
your
minde
!
you
would
have
the
State
of
Venice
made
a
Province
to
Spaine
,
that
thereby
he
may
finde
a
way
for
his
Fleets
,
to
convey
his
Armies
into
high
and
lowe
Germany
.
And
if
Spain
thinke
so
:
Contareno
the
Venetian
Ambassadour
,
resident
with
the
King
my
Husband
;
and
since
him
Donato
likewise
tolde
me
,
that
herein
Spaine
is
deceived
in
the
Arithmetick
of
his
ambition
and
vsurpation
▪
and
thus
to
reckon
,
is
to
reckon
without
his
Hostesse
,
and
without
God
.

BVt
how
do
the
warlike
Cantons
of
Swissers
trust
the
King
of
Spaine
?
Q.
A.
As
they
doe
the
Emperour
Ferdinand
,
his
brother
Leopaldus
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Austrian
Princes
:
for
they
know
his
ambition
and
their
malice
,
and
so
neither
feare
him
,
nor
love
these
.
Q.
M.
But
they
love
the
double
Pistols
of
Spaine
,
doe
they
not
?
Q.E.
Yes
,
but
they
say
the
French
Crownes
of
the
Sunne
are
farre
purer
and
truer
gold
,
and
therefore
passe
currenter
with
them
.
E.
6.
The
Austrian
Princes
,
and
the
Swissers
,
I
haue
still
heard
,
are
from
Father
to
Sonne
,
hereditary
and
irreconcilable
Enemies
.
P.
H.
Yea
,
the
Swissers
draw
good
vse
and
benefit
hereof
;
for
by
this
meanes
they
live
not
in
security
as
some
other
States
doe
;
but
are
still
armed
and
ready
to
march
and
follow
their
Colours
.
Q.E.
But
there
is
no
Warre
would
be
so
acceptable
and
pleasing
to
them
as
vp
to
Millane
,
or
downe
to
the
free
County
,
Brabant
,
and
Heynault
;
if
France
,
Savoy
,
and
Venice
,
would
command
them
the
first
,
and
England
,
France
,
and
Holland
,
ordaine
and
give
way
to
the
second
.
Q.
A.
What
is
not
past
is
yet
to
come
.
Q.M.
Yea
,
but
the
Councell
of
Spaine
hath
policy
enough
,
to
insinuate
and
temporize
with
all
these
Princes
and
States
;
and
so
to
divert
their
Designes
,
and
frustrate
their
resolutions
,
if
they
were
bent
that
way
.
P.H.
It
hath
indeede
hitherto
proved
so
by
Spaine
:
for
their
policy
and
treachery
,
hath
purchased
and
gotten
them
more
Countries
,
then
either
their
valour
or
swords
.
Q.
M.
These
easie
Conquests
are
still
sweet
and
pleasing
to
Spaine
.
P.
H.
Yea
,
but
they
are
neither
honest
nor
just
.
E.
6.
But
hath
not
Spaine
cavill'd
with
the
Swissers
for
their
confines
and
limmits
?
Q.E.
Yes
,
two
wayes
,
next
Germany
by
Leopaldus
,
and
betwixt
Losanna
and
Gray
in
the
free
County
by
the
Archduke
Albertus
.
Q.
M.
Yea
,
yea
,
the
King
of
Spaine
will
angle
so
long
till
he
take
.
Q.E.
But
hath
not
Spaine
attempted
by
his
Ambassadours
and
Agents
,
to
sowe
discention
and
discord
amongst
these
Helvetian
Cantons
;
to
oppose
them
one
against
the
other
,
and
so
to
debauch
and
withdraw
them
first
from
the
French
Kings
seruice
,
and
then
to
his
owne
.
P.
H.
Yes
many
times
,
but
that
tricke
of
Spaine
is
now
growne
olde
and
thrid-bare
;
so
as
the
Swissers
vowe
to
remedy
the
first
,
and
the
French
Kings
to
prevent
the
second
.
Q.M.
But
the
Catholique
King
will
watch
those
Swissers
a
good
turne
,
and
if
the
Ephinaerides
of
his
envie
,
ambition
,
and
greatnesse
faile
him
not
,
either
his
Spinola
,
or
his
Pedro
de
Toledo
,
shall
one
of
these
dayes
dine
with
him
at
Berne
,
Eriburg
,
or
Soleurre
,
ere
their
table-cloathes
be
layed
.
Q.
E.
But
Sister
you
are
deceived
in
the
Swissers
;
for
their
Table
cloathes
are
alwayes
nayled
to
their
Tables
;
yea
,
they
haue
so
great
a
quantity
of
Swords
Pikes
,
and
Muskets
in
a
readinesse
,
to
give
any
enemy
of
theirs
a
bloudy
banquet
,
that
if
Philip
King
of
Spaine
dare
assault
them
,
they
doubt
not
but
to
vse
him
as
they
haue
formerly
done
Philip
Duke
of
Burgundy
,
whom
they
ouerthrew
in
three
severall
pitchd
battels
,
at
Granson
,
Morat
,
and
Nancy
,
where
he
losed
his
treasure
,
his
men
,
and
his
life
.
The

H.

BVt
how
stand
the
Grisons
affected
to
Spaine
.
E.
6.
Spaine
through
the
vicinity
of
Millane
,
doth
so
often
knocke
at
their
doores
,
that
if
they
keepe
them
not
fast
shut
,
they
know
,
or
at
least
feare
that
hee
will
shortly
enter
by
the
Voltaline
and
Chiavena
.
Q.M.
O
though
of
late
they
made
a
shew
of
resistance
,
yet
the
gold
of
Spaine
,
the
neighbourhood
of
Millane
,
the
Fort
Fuentes
,
but
chiefly
their
owne
credulity
and
security
,
hath
almost
brought
them
to
the
King
of
Spaines
▪
lure
.
Q.E.
This
people
were
both
warlike
and
wise
.
P.H.
But
Spaine
will
briefly
make
them
fooles
and
cowards
if
they
will
hearken
to
him
.
Q
M.
As
how
Nephew
?
pray
be
not
bitter
against
Spaine
.
P.
H.
Why
,
first
Spaine
will
nussell
them
vp
in
peace
and
security
till
matters
be
ripe
,
or
else
he
will
engender
factions
,
and
sowe
discords
among
themselues
,
either
for
Religion
,
or
ranke
,
or
betwixt
them
and
their
dearest
friends
the
Swissers
;
and
so
when
he
sees
all
things
ready
,
and
the
Iron
hot
,
then
hee
will
march
,
and
strike
,
and
not
faile
to
vnite
and
annex
the
Cantons
of
the
Grisons
to
Millane
,
as
he
hath
already
done
Millane
to
Spaine
.
H.
8.
If
the
Grisons
at
any
time
lose
the
Swissers
friendship
,
or
their
owne
vigilancy
and
generosity
,
it
will
not
be
long
,
ere
they
shake
hands
with
their
liberty
and
lives
.
Q.M.
So
Spaine
hopes
,
for
if
warre
cannot
worke
and
effect
it
,
they
make
no
doubt
but
peace
shall
.
Q.E.
If
the
Grisons
hearken
to
the
Charmes
of
Spaine
,
they
are
halfe
lost
.
Q.M.
If
they
hearken
not
to
Spaine
,
they
are
wholly
vndone
,
but
if
they
listen
to
Spaine
,
all
will
be
well
.
H.
8.
Yea
Daughter
,
I
beleeue
for
the
Spaniards
,
but
not
for
the
Grisons
.
Q.
E.
To
trust
to
Spaine
,
is
to
rely
on
a
broken
staffe
,
and
to
harbour
a
Serpent
in
our
own
bosomes
.
P.H.
To
trust
to
the
promises
of
Spaine
,
is
to
commit
our selues
to
the
mercy
and
protection
of
a
Lyon
who
will
devoure
vs
.
Q.M.
The
Grisons
will
see
,
and
say
the
contrary
E.
6.
So
will
I
say
,
if
I
see
the
contrary
;
till
when
I
feare
the
Grisons
will
buy
their
peace
,
as
well
with
teares
as
blood
.
Savoy
.
H.
8.
BVt
how
doth
Savoy
brooke
Spaine
?
for
I
take
it
this
present
Duke
Charles
Emanuell
,
married
this
King
Philip
3.
his
second
Sister
;
the
Infanta
Katherina
Michaela
.
P.H.
Savoy
loves
Spaine
,
as
it
hath
deserved
of
it
;
for
the
noble
and
generous
Duke
thereof
cries
out
;
God
defend
mee
from
such
a
brother
in
law
as
King
Philip.
Q.M.
I
beleeve
if
the
Catholique
King
offered
that
Duke
any
vnkinde
office
,
it
was
nothing
but
because
hee
was
so
neere
a
neighbour
to
Geneva
,
as
hee
and
the
Pope
suspected
his
Highnesse
would
turne
Caluinist
.
Q.
E.
Alas
that
good
Citie
of
Geneva
,
why
all
the
world
knowes
the
Dukes
loue
to
it
,
and
its
Religion
,
witnesse
the
Barron
of
Attignac
and
his
Consorts
,
as
also
Terraill
and
Bastide
;
but
if
there
were
once
a
Spanish
Garison
in
this
Citie
,
Savoy
would
soone
know
how
to
distinguish
betwixt
good
and
bad
neighbours
.
E.
6.
But
it
is
the
laughture
of
the
world
,
to
say
that
Spaine
hates
Savoy
because
he
loves
the
Religion
of
Geneva
.
P.
H.
Yet
this
is
as
true
as
many
other
of
Spaines
colours
,
pretexts
and
evasions
,
when
hee
hath
a
purpose
and
plot
to
vsurpe
.
Q.M.
Why
wherein
hath
the
King
of
Spaine
abused
,
or
wronged
the
Duke
of
Savoy
.
P.H.
First
,
in
being
himselfe
the
chiefe
cause
and
subiect
,
and
then
making
him
the
Instrument
and
executioner
,
to
cut
off
the
two
noble
heads
of
Biron
in
Paris
,
and
D'
Albigny
in
Turin
.
Q.M.
Why
the
Catholique
King
is
the
vniversall
King
,
and
therefore
it
is
not
strange
,
if
in
all
Countries
of
the
world
,
hee
haue
his
farre
fetch'd
policies
,
Agents
,
and
Instruments
to
make
his
stratagems
and
resolutions
take
effect
,
for
those
who
are
obstacles
to
his
will
and
pleasure
;
his
verball
friendship
shall
alwayes
prove
their
reall
overthrow
and
subversion
;
howsoeuer
he
and
his
Ministers
pretend
,
and
make
shew
of
the
contrary
.
Q.A.
Nay
,
let
vs
leaue
Biron
and
D'Albigny
in
their
Graves
,
for
mee
thinkes
it
is
a
poore
charity
to
rake
vp
the
ashes
of
the
dead
.
And
for
our
better
information
,
let
vs
take
a
survey
of
the
courtesie
,
or
rather
of
the
cruelty
that
Spaine
hath
offered
Savoy
.
E.

None
knowes
nor
can
deliuer
the
particular
truth
thereof
,
so
well
as
your
Royall
Sonne
Prince
Henry
.
Q.M.
But
I
feare
my
Nephew
will
be
too
partiall
in
the
delivery
hereof
,
betweene
the
King
of
Spaine
,
and
the
Duke
of
Savoy
,
because
I
haue
heard
that
of
the
two
Princesses
their
daughters
;
he
preferd
that
of
Savoy
before
this
of
Spaine
.
H.
8.
No
,
no
;
my
Nephew
Henry
is
a
iudicious
and
iust
Prince
,
therefore
I
know
hee
will
not
wrong
Spaine
to
doe
right
to
Savoy
.
Q.
A
He
resembles
King
Iames
his
Father
to
well
,
whoe
will
still
loue
the
King
of
Spaine
,
although
therein
he
hate
him selfe
,
therefore
speake
on
fayre
Sonne
.
P.
H
When
Great
Henry
of
France
(
my
honoured
Vncle
)
made
warres
vpon
the
present
Duke
of
Sauoy
for
the
recouery
of
his
Marquisat
of
Saluses
,
then
this
Phillip
King
of
Spaine
,
(
vnder
the
pretence
and
shewe
to
ayd
the
Duke
his
brother
in
Lawe
against
the
French
)
sent
him
many
troopes
and
Regiments
of
Spanyards
for
the
preseruation
of
his
State
;
when
the
peace
being
made
betwixt
the
King
and
the
Duke
,
and
the
exchange
for
Saluses
,
with
the
Countreyes
of
Bresse

ratified

These
Spanish
Regiments
being
quartered
in
Carbonieres
,
Mountemellion
,
Savillan
,
Pignoroll
and
other
places
of
Sauoy
&
Piedmont
,
they
vpon
no
reqvest
or
assommons
made
them
by
the
Duke
,
would
depart
thence
,
but
being
commaunded
the
Contrary
by
the
Count
de
Fuentes
(
Viceroy
of
Millan
)
as
he
was
from
the
King
his
Master
from
Spaine
,
they
peremptorily
resolued
and
vowed
to
keepe
firme
footing
which
they
along
time
did
,
vntill
at
last
that
wise
&
Valiant
Duke
being
thereunto
constrained
for
the
securitie
of
his
estate
,
whose
emmynent
and
vtter
subuersion
he
apparantly
sawe
before
his
eyes
,
he
very
nobly
cutt
all
their
throates
.
H.

Beleeue
me
his
Highnesse
of
Sauoy
did
well
,
for
it
was
an
act
most
worthy
of

iudgement
and
generositie

Alimes
,
his
Highnesse
Ambassadours
at
Lyons
,
that
the
Kinge
his
master
would
Contribute
towards
the
Exchange
of
the
marquisat
of
Saluces
,
conditionally
it
remayned
on
that
side
the
Alpes
from
the
French
;
and
since
how
his
Catholique
Maiestie
hath
performed
nothing
.
He
remembers
Spaines
Plott
vpon
his
Castle
of
Nice
(
the
key
not
only
of
his
Countryes
,
but
of
Italy
)
when
his
Spanish
Galleyes
lay
at
Villa
franca
to
bereaue
him
of
his
Children
,
He
remembers
how
the
Spanish
Cardynalls
oppose
his
precedency
at
Rome
,
with
the
Duke
of
Florence
,
and
how
the
Catholike
King
,
or
his
Viceroy
of
Millan
for
him
;
was
the
match
and
Incendiary
to
set
fire
twixt
the
Duke
of
Mantoua
&
him
,
for
the
Marquisate
of
Montferrad
.
Q.
E.
Wee
may
see
what
a
kind
brother
in
Lawe
the
King
of
Spaine
is
,
and
what
it
is
to
build
vpon
his
affiance
,
afinity
,
promises
and
asistance
.
P.
H.
I
am
glad
the
Duke
of
Savoy
,
and
the
Princes
his
children
haue
now
purchased
the
length
of
Spaines
foote
.
E.
6.
They
haue
reason
to
haue
it
,
for
they
were
all
enforced
to
take
it
with
their
swordes
,
Pikes
,
and
Lances
,
at
Cassall●
,
Verceile
and
other
wheres
.
Q.
A.
As
longe
as
Savoy
loues
not
Spaine
,
The
Marquis
of
Lullius
and
Monseur
De
Gabaleon
told
me
,
it
needes
not
feare
it
.
Q.
M.
O
but
as
long
as
Spaine
Knockes
at
the
gates
of
Sauoy
and
Piedmond
he
may
at
last
enter
.
Q.
E.
Sauoy
hath
reason
to
enter
Millan
,
not
Spaine
Sauoy
.
Q.
M.
But
tyme
and
the
policie
and
Swords
of
Spaine
cut
all
donations
and
rightes
in
peeces
.
P.
H.
Savoy
hath
had
warninges
enough
to
beware
of
Spaine
and
therefore
as
I
euer
loued
that
generous
Duke
,
soe
I
hope
that
he
and
the
Illustryous
&
valliant
Princes
,
his
Sonnes
,
will
neuer
want
armes
of
steele
,
and
heartes
of
Diamonds
to
our
braue
Spaine
who
with
such
ambition
and
malice
seekes
to
out
braue
it
.
France
.
H.
8.
But
what
sayes
France
of
Spaine
.
Q.
M.
My
honoured
father
all
the
world
knowes
that
Spaine
hath
euer
loued
France
well
.
Q.
E.
Yea
too
too
well
,
and
so
well
as
France
will
neuer
loue
Spaine
,
much
lesse
trust
it
in
requitall
.
Q
M.
Why
hath
not
Spaine
reason
to
ballance
and
counterpoise
the
power
and
greatnesse
of
France
.
P.
H.
Yea
,
but
not
to
seeke
to
make
that
famous
&
flourishing
Kingdome
become
a
Prouince
to
Spaine
.
Q.
M.
Spayne
neuer
wish't
it
,
much
lesse
attempted
it
.
Q.
E.
Yeares
,
more
often
then
France
hath
Prouinces
,
or
Spayne
Cittyes
.
P.
H.
Why
?
who
was
the
Avthor
and
Protector
of
the
League
,
but
first
Spaine
,
then
the
Pope
,
and
next
the
Devill
.
Q.
M.
O
that
was
onely
to
preserue
Catholiques
,
and
the
Catholique
Religion
,
and
to
exterminate
and
roote
out
Heretiques
,
and
was
not
this
well
done
of
the
King
of
Spaine
,
sith
he
is
the
Catholique
King
.
E.
6.
Nay
,
now
the
least
child
in
France
knowes
that
Religion
was
onely
the
pretext
,
but
Empire
and
Dominion
the
obiect
of
that
League
.
How
else
dared
Mendoza
(
Spaines
Ambassadour
in
Paris
seeke
the
Crowne
of
France
for
the
Infanta
of
Spaine
,
or
how
els
dared
the
Iesuites
his
ministers
,
in
their
seditious
Sermons
,
and
pernicious
Pamphlets
aduance
her
right
to
the
Crowne
and
Kingdome
,
when
God
and
the
world
knowes
shee
had
none
to
it
.
Q.
M.
Why
,
it
was
when
God
had
caused
that
good
Fryer
Iames
Clement
,
to
kill
that
bad
King
Henry
the
third
at
Saint
Clou
,
and
when
indeede
that
Kingdome
was
without
a
head
,
and
then
the
King
of
Spaine
had
reason
to
aduance
his
Daughters
Title
to
France
,
in
right
of
her
mother
Elizabeth
,
(
that
Queene
of
Peace
)
notwithstanding
the
fundamentall
power
of
the
Salique
Law
to
the
contrary
.
H.
8.
You
are
deceiued
daughter
,
for
it
was
a
good
King
,
and
a
bade
Fryer
(
or
rather
a
Diuell
in
a
Fryers
weede
)
to
set
handes
on
the
Lords
anoynted
,
but
this
arrow
came
out
of
the
quiuer
of
Spaine
,
and
Hell
,
for
that
bloudie
and
execrable
murther
was
no
sooner
perpetrated
,
but
then
Instantly
followed
the
proposition
of
the
Infantaes
Title
to
France
,
which
apparantly
makes
the
murther
to
be
Spaynes
.
Q.M.
It
was
the
Dukes
of
Mayene
,
Mercuaeur
who
drewe
the
King
of
Spayne
to
assist
the
League
,
and
in
it
France
.
Q.
E.
No
,
No
,
Contrariewise
it
was
the
Kinge
of
Spayne
,
that
debouchd
and
drewe
these
two
Dukes
,
and
with
them
almost
all
the
Nobilitie
to
forge
and
contriue
this
League
,
and
in
it
to
ruine
France
:
for
already
France
was
almost
Spayne
,
and
the
Infanta
had
vndoubtedly
borne
the
Crowne
:
If
Great
Henry
his
Victorious
sword
had
not
pulld
off
Spaynes
maske
,
and
so
cutt
her
Title
and
its
pretences
in
pieces
.
Q.
M.
But
see
the
equitie
and
Iustice
of
King
Phillipe
,
for
when
Henry
that
Heretique
King
came
to
the
Crowne
,
he
restored
him
Calais
,
Dourlans
,
Valencienes
,
Blauet
,
and
all
other
townes
and
Castles
which
he
had
formerly
wonne
and
Conquered
in
France
.
P.
H.
But
all
this
was
not
worthy
thankes
,
for
Phillipe
alone
restored
that
which
hee
could
not
,
nor
dared
not
to
Keepe
.
Q.
M.
Nay
,
obserue
farther
how
religious
King
Phillip
was
(
in
imitation
of
King
Agesilaus
)
for
hee
kept
his
Fayth
inuiolable
towards
Henry
IIII
although
he
were
an
heretique
King
.
P.
H.
Nay
obserue
how
irreligiously
and
treacherous
Kinge
Phillip
was
to
King
Henry
4.
(
in
imitation
of
Artaxerxes
,
the
son
of
Xerxes
)
for
hee
violated
his
fayth
and
Friendship
towards
him
,
in
debaushing
of
Biron
Mirargues
,
Loste
,
whose
promises
and
gold
made
them
Traytors
to
their
King
and
Country
.
E.
6.
Surelie
I
thinke
it
is
incydent
,
and
I
feare
it
will
proue
hereditary
to
the
Kings
of
Spayne
to
conquer
more
by
treachery
then
by
the
sword
.
Q.
E.
But
had
Great
Henry
liued
,
he
would
haue
requited
,
these
courses
of
Spayne
,
as
also
that
of
Guignard
and
Chastell
;
who
(
although
the
report
runne
otherwise
)
had
their
greatest
light
and
encouragement
from
beyond
the
Pyreene
mountaines
;
for
to
speake
truth
hee
in
heart
could
neuer
be
drawen
to
loue
Spayne
.
P.
H.
Yea
,
that
Spayne
knew
full
well
,
for
when
the
French
Iesuites
his
Ministers
had
vnlocked
the
mistery
they
like
bloody
Schoole-masters
,
soe
diuelishlie
instructed
and
fortified
that
monster
of
men
Rauilliack
(
their
execrable
and
damnable
desciple
)
that
hee
soone
sent
him
hither
in
a
bloody
Coffin
.
Q.M.
But
you
will
not
say
that
the
King
of
Spayne
was
accessary
to
Henry
4.
his
murther
.
P.
H.
No
,
but
I
will
say
that
if
the
truth
were
knowne
,
the
opening
of
that
veine
would
make
many
great
Birds
,
yea
and
many
learned
ones
too
,
bleede
themselues
to
death
,
and
peraduenture
the
wounds
and
scarres
thereof
,
would
bleede
an
hundred
yeares
hence
.
Q.
A.
The
Marshall
of
Lauerdin
whistered
mee
a
word
concerning
this
,
which
I
shall
neuer
forget
,
onely
hee
requested
my
secrecie
therein
:
so
the
King
of
Spaines
Larma
,
and
the
Queene
Mother
of
France
her
D'
Anchre
,
his
Mariana
,
and
her
Cotton
shall
giue
me
leaue
to
thinke
.
Q.
M.
Questionlesse
it
were
the
sinnes
of
that
King
,
and
the
finger
of
Heauen
that
cut
off
the
threed
of
his
life
.
Q.
E.
Questionlesse
you
are
deceiued
Sister
,
for
it
were
the
sinnes
of
France
who
made
the
Knife
,
and
the
treasons
of
Spaine
and
Rome
which
made
that
Parricide
Rauilliack
performe
.
H.

Well
,
in
despight
of
Rome
,
Spaine
and
Hell
,
that
victorious
and
glorious
King
is
wasted
hither
in
triumph
,
therefore
leaue
wee
him
with
God
,
and
God
with
him
,
and
let
vs
see
since
his
deplorable
death
,
how
kinde
K.
Philip
of
Spayne
hath
beene
to
King
Lewes
his
Sonne
.
Q.
M.
So
kinde
that
hee
hath
matched
King
Lewis
to
his
eldest
Daughter
,
the
Ifanta
Anna
;
and
his
eldest
Sonne
,
Prince
Phil.
to
the
Eldest
Princesse
of
France
,
Madame
Elizabeth
,
that
now
these
two
mighty
Kingdomes
and
Houses
seeme
to
bee
but
one
.
Q.
E.
This
is
faire
to
the
eye
of
the
world
,
but
it
will
bee
excellent
if
the
End
of
these
matches
proue
fortunate
for

Who
were
the
Match-makers
?

If
King
Philip
of
Spaine
be
Heyre
as
well
to
his
Fathers
Ambition
as
to
his
Kingdomes
,
hee
will
loue
France
so
well
as
to

But
what
intertainment
had
the
Infanta
of
Spaine
in
France
?
P.
H
Noble
,
Royall
,
Glorious
.
E.
6.
What
traine
of
Spaniards
brought
shee
with
her
into
France
.
P.
H.
A
very
great
traine
,
for
Monsieur
de
Marais
(
the
French
Embassadour
with
the
King
my
Father
)
told
mee
that
Monsieur
de
Bonelle
(
Master
of
the
Ceremonies
to
the
French
King
)
reported
,
that
when
the
first
of
them
were
entring
Paris
at
St.
Iaques
Gate
,
that
the
last
were
but
comming
downe
the
Pyrene
Mountaines
.
Q.
A.
But
what
did
all
this
rabble
of
Spaniards
doe
in
France
?
P.
H.
To
speake
truth
,
they
fell
presently
to
skrewing
and
working
themselues
into
the
State
,
by
begging
and
buying
of
Offices
,
Places
,
Pensions
,
and
gouernments
,
both
in
Church
and
Common-weale
,
and
by
making
Pensioners
for
Spaine
,
and
consequently
a
bridge
and
passage
for
the
King
their
Master
to
enter
.
H.

But
how
did
the
Parliaments
,
the
Privie
Councell
,
and
the
Nobilitie
of
France
brooke
and
digest
this
?
Q
E.
Yea
,
that
is
a
question
of
State
indeed
.
P.
H.
As
for
the
Parliaments
,
and
Privie
Councell
,
many
of
them
are
so
Iesuitiz'd
,
as
they
are
Spaniards
in
heart
,
though
French
in
tongue
,
and
therefore
they
were
so
farre
from
preuenting
,
as
they
gaue
way
to
it
,
onely
for
the
Princes
and
Nobilitie
(
some
few
excepted
)
they
(
resembling
themselues
)
vowed
and
swore
,
that
their
swords
should
cut
the
Pens
and
Tongues
in
pieces
of
any
Spaniard
whatsoever
,
that
dar'd
propose
or
attempt
it
,
for
they
spake
aloud
and
affirm'd
,
the
Florentines
had
taught
them
wit
.
E.
6.
A
braue
resolution
of
the
French
Nobilitie
;
for
the
greatest
of
a
State
haue
alwayes
the
greatest
interest
in
the
State
;
those
Princes
and
Nobles
are
therefore
highly
to
be
applauded
and
praised
:
and
such
of
the
Privie
Councell
and
Parliament
who
tacitely
are
delinquents
,
and
traytors
to
their
Prince
and
Countrey
,
deserue
to
bee
found
out
,
arraigned
,
and
sacrificed
to
the
good
of
the
Common-weale
,
either
with
a
sword
,
or
a
halter
.
Q.
M.
But
,
what
said
the
Clergie
of
France
to
this
?
Q.
E.
Sister
,
it
is
to
be
fear'd
,
as
you
wish
&
desire
.
P.
H.
Why
they
out
of
passionate
zeale
,
more
then
of
zealous
and
sollid
iudgement
,
approue
of
any
Match
for
their
King
,
so
it
be
not
with
a
Protestant
,
and
yet
of
none
so
well
as
of
this
with
Spaine
;
Demand
their
reason
and
they
will
answer
you
(
with
as
much
vehemency
as
ignorance
)
that
the
King
of
Spaine
is
the
Catholique
King
,
and
if
you
come
further
to
particularize
,
they
reply
,
that
their
Cardinalls
(
who
indeede
are
onely
the
Popes
Creatures
)
shall
deliver
more
at
the
estates
Generall
:
So
the
Clergie
bad
the
Spaniards
well-come
into
France
.
Q.
E.
But
where
are
the
Fire-brands
and
Incendiaries
of
the
State
,
the
French
Iesuites
,
who
indeed
are
the
Fistulaes
and
Botches
of
a
State
,
what
entertainment
gaue
they
to
the
young
Queene
and
her
Spaniards
?
P.
H.
Surely
Aunt
,
they
crouched
very
low
to
the
Queene
;
but
in
Cottons
absence
Arnoux
and
Berrulla
(
their
Tongue
and
Eare
)
whispered
so
secretly
to
her
Maiestie
,
that
I
could
neither
gather
nor
vnderstand
what
they
said
,
but
I
guest
at
it
;
onely
they
gaue
faire
words
and
actions
to
all
the
Spaniards
in
generall
;
and
to
the
nobler
and
wiser
sort
of
them
in
particular
,
they
ingaged
themselues
to
keepe
curious
correspondence
with
the
Catholique
King
,
to
whom
they
affirmed
and
swore
by
their
Semi-God
,
and
sole
Patron
Ignatius
Loyolla
,
they
would
beare
true
observance
,
as
the
Marigold
doth
to
the
Sunne
.
Q.
A.
Are
not
these
two
Iesuites
the
French
Kings
ordinary
Preachers
,
and
yet
dare
they
doe
it
?
Q.
E.
Although
Berrulla
be
the
Father
of
the
Oratory
,
yet
he
is
in
heart
and
soule
a
Iesuite
,
and
Arnoux
is
the
Arch-Iesuite
of
France
,
and
the
Kings
Confessor
,
and
yet
they
dare
,
and
will
doe
it
.
H.
8.
But
how
did
the
Queene
Regent
enterteyne
the
Spaniards
:
P.
H.
Courteously
and
Nobly
,
because
shee
made
the
Match
;
which
since
shee
hath
repented
tho
;
yea
and
the
Duke
of
Mayene
too
,
who
concluded
&
finished
it
:
And
so
did
Villeroy
likewise
,
although
it
were
to
late
.
But
Sillery
and
Du
Vair
loue
Spaine
so
well
,
as
their
courages
are
so
masculine
,
that
though
they
see
their
errours
in
perswading
these
Matches
,
yet
they
rather
persist
then
acknowledge
it
,
for
like
good
cleere-sighted
States-men
,
they
haue
witte
enough
to
beare
vpp
with
the
time
,
for
otherwise
they
know
the
times
will
not
beare
them
vp
.
Q.
M.
But
how
did
the
Commons
of
France
entertaine
the
Spaniards
?
Q.
E.
Truely
I
thinke
they
will
never
be
perswaded
to
like
the
fashion
of
the
little
Hatte
,
and
great
set
Ruffe
.
Q.
A.
Son
Henry
,
pray
answere
Queene
Mary
.
P.
H.
If
we
may
iudge
of
Hercules
by
his
foote
,
so
we
then
may
of
France
,
by
those
of
Paris
)
which
is
the
eye
,
the
heart
,
the
soule
thereof
(
where
the
Citizens
in
all
streetes
,
and
especially
the
Lakeyes
at
the
Lovrre
gate
,
and
the
new
bridge
,
still
salute
the
Spaniards
as
they
passe
by
,
by
these
courteous
Epithites
,
Boracho
,
Pantalones
,
and
Bouriques
.
H.
8.
How
long
remained
all
these
Spaniards
in
France
?
Q.
M.
So
long
I
warrant
you
,
vntill
they
did
all
their
Kings
businesse
,
and
their
owne
too
before
they
departed
.
P.
H.
In
truth
so
long
,
till
all
France
was
weary
,
and
distasted
of
them
and
their
proceedings
,
yea
,
so
many
yeares
,
that
at
last
the
King
and
Councell
were
in
a
manner
constrained
to
send
them
away
by
an
Edict
,
as
they
themselues
,
not
many
yeares
since
,
did
the
Moores
.
Q.
M.
The
banishing
of
the
Moores
was
a
good
and
wholesome
counsell
of
Spaine
.
Q.
E.
And
I
assure
you
Sister
the
sending
home
of
the
Spaniards
was
an
excellent
one
of
France
,
for
vpon
the
matter
,
they
were
but
spyes
,
moaths
and
drones
,
and
would
haue
proved
so
to
France
if
they
had
continued
there
longer
.
E.
6.
But
were
they
all
sent
home
,
and
none
left
at
the
Court
of
France
to
giue
,
and
receiue
packets
to
and
fro
for
the
Iesuits
,
the
King
of
Spaines
Factors
and
Agents
.
Q.
E.
O
,
no
assure
your selfe
,
for
the
Councell
of
Spaine
is
too
wise
to
commit
so
grosse
and
palpable
an
errour
of
State
.
P.
H.
Therefore
to
cast
the
thicker
mist
,
and
to
put
the
better
varnish
on
the
businesse
,
The
Countesse
De
la
Tour
was
left
there
with
the
title
of
gouernesse
to
the
young
Queene
,
and
there
is
as
much
correspondencie
betwixt
her
and
Don
Ferdinand
de
Geron
(
the
Ambassador
of
Spaine
)
as
there
is
betwixt
him
and
the
French
Iesuites
.
Q.
A.
Thus
Spayne
leaues
alwaies
a
Sting
behind
him
,
and
I
feare
France
will
in
the
end
find
it
so
.
Q.
M.
Whereon
is
your
suspition
,
and
feare
grounded
?
Q.
A.
Vpon
the
apparant
symptomes
of
the
Lethargie
,
Feuer
,
or
Consumption
of
France
.
E.
6.
You
say
right
Madam
,
and
the
Noblest
and
truest
hearted
French-men
participate
of
your
apprehension
;
For
the
Iesuites
(
beeing
the
Popes
Factors
,
and
the
King
of
Spaynes
Oracles
and
Agents
)
haue
already
corrupted
the
Parliaments
and
Priuie
Councell
,
who
should
bee
her
Illium
&
Acrocorynth
.
They
haue
vndermyned
and
ruinated
the
Sorbone
,
heeretofore
her
Palladium
,
once
the
Queene
of
Vniuersities
:
Who
now
as
a
mournefull
Widdow
,
sits
with
her
hayre
dandling
about
her
eares
,
and
her
teares
trickling
downe
her
cheekes
,
liuing
onely
in
her
shaddow
or
Ghost
,
or
rather
in
her
ruines
;
for
her
Genius
and
Soule
,
hath
alreadie
made
a
transmigration
to
Clermont-House
;
Yea
,
and
to
speake
true
French
,
in
our
English
tongue
,
they
by
their
diuelish
Aphorismes
and
bloodie
positions
(
vnder
a
false
&
hypocriticall
shew
of
Learning
and
Pietie
)
doe
poyson
and
corrupt
the
Youth
and
prime
Witts
of
France
,
as
the
Iewes
did
the
Springs
and
Fountaines
in
England
.
Q.
E.
Also
,
the
Clergie
of
France
,
degenerates
from
its
Pristine
candor
and
zeale
to
the
good
of
France
,
and
the
glory
of
the
French
Church
,
for
they
receiue
Lawes
from
the
Popes
Nuncio
and
the
Iesuites
,
to
whome
they
should
giue
them
.
How
else
at
the
last
generall
Estates
of
Paris
,
and
the
assemblie
of
Notables
at
Rouen
?
were
they
so
vnwise
,
dishonest
and
cowardly
,
to
referre
themselues
to
the
two
Cardinalls
Perron
and
Gondye
?
who
like
good
Cardinalls
,
but
bad
French-men
(
having
onely
their
Bodies
in
France
,
but
their
Hearts
at
Rome
)
in
thankfulnes
to
the
Pope
for
their
red
Hatts
,
forgat
themselues
and
their
allegiance
so
much
,
as
to
prostitute
and
debase
that
famous
Crowne
and
flourishing
Kingdome
of
France
,
to
be
dependant
to
Rome
in
Temporall
matters
,
notwithstanding
the
Pragmatick
Sanction
,
and
the
prerogatiues
of
the
Crowne
&
Church
of
France
,
to
the
contrary
;
whereat
the
Popes
Nuncio
at
Paris
laught
with
open
mouth
:
So
did
the
Colledge
of
Cardinalls
,
and
the
Pope
himselfe
at
Rome
;
and
likewise
the
Catholike
King
in
Spaine
,
with
all
that
huge
rabble
of
Iesuites
,
whiles
all
the
Kings
,
Soveraigne
Princes
,
and
Free
Estates
of
Europe
(
Spaine
and
Italie
excepted
)
grieued
and
lamented
at
it
,
with
as
much
shame
as
wonder
.
E.
6.
Indeed
these
are
two
maine
points
&
reasons
,
that
the
greatnesse
and
generosity
of
France
declynes
,
and
that
Rome
and
Spaine
will
shortly
shuffle
the
Cards
so
well
,
as
it
must
needs
bee
made
a
Province
to
Spaine
;
for
they
both
haue
consulted
and
finde
,
that
what
could
not
be
effected
during
the
Reigne
of
old
Henrie
,
may
in
these
of
young
King
Lewes
his
Sonne
.
P.
H.
It
is
not
impossible
,
rather
likely
,
for
France
abounds
in
a
monstrous
height
of
Pride
and
Sinne
,
And
the
old
Cleargie
of
France
admit
of
so
many
new
orders
of
Fryers
and
Nuns
,
that
almost
all
is
out
of
order
;
and
the
seuenteene
Millions
which
the
Duke
of
Suilly
left
by
accompt
to
the
Queene
Regent
,
is
all
long
since
spent
,
and
twice
seventeene
more
.
So
as
although
the
Polleta
be
still
on
foote
,
Monopolyes
never
so
rife
,
the
Finnances
,
or
Exchequer
drawne
dry
,
and
exhausted
;
yet
the
King
is
extreamely
in
debt
to
his
Nobilitie
and
Pensioners
;
and
is
not
this
Musicke
for
the
King
of
Spaine
?
H.
8.
Had
Great
Henry
liued
,
he
would
haue
remedied
and
preuented
these
calamities
.
Q.
A.
But
his
Sonne
King
Lewes
is
not
so
happie
to
doe
it
,
no
nor
his
Creator
,
the
Duke
of
Luynes
so
discreet
and
honest
to
aduise
and
councell
him
therevnto
.
P.
H.
The
neglect
thereof
may
make
one
,
or
both
of
them
to
repent
it
,
and
peradventure
the
Kingdome
too
;
for
alreadie
the
Commons
grieue
hereat
,
and
the
Nobilitie
would
,
but
cannot
remedy
it
.
Q.
M.
Spaine
loues
France
,
therefore
France
need
not
feare
Spaine
.
P.
H.
The
Panthers
skin
is
faire
,
yet
his
friendship
is
fatall
,
and
his
breath
infectious
.
Q.
E.
Indeed
if
France
loued
not
Spaine
,
it
need
not
feare
it
.
Q.
M.
King
Philip
loues
King
Lewes
dearely
.
Q.
A.
Not
halfe
so
well
as
he
loues
his
Kingdome
of
France
.
Q.
E.
In
truth
France
hath
reason
to
haue
a
vigilant
eye
ore
Spaine
,
for
as
long
as
shee
sleepes
in
her
bed
of
pleasure
and
securitie
,
perhaps
one
of
these
dayes
,
Spaines
Ambition
may
awake
her
with
Drumme
,
Trumpet
,
and
Cannon
.
P.
H.
O
no
,
not
as
yet
,
for
if
the
King
of
Spaine
were
so
ill
aduised
,
his
Councell
is
not
;
for
they
like
old
experienced
Foxes
;
will
never
permit
him
to
discover
himselfe
,
much
lesse
his
Resolutions
,
and
least
of
all
his
Ambition
and
sword
,
vntill
the
Sunne
hath
attaynd
the
Meridian
.
Q.
M.
I
know
not
what
my
Nephew
meanes
by
this
Mathematicall
Riddle
.
Q.
E.
I
was
never
greatly
skild
in
the
Mathematickes
,
and
yet
consuming
my
Youth
,
Yeares
,
and
Cares
for
England
,
I
haue
reason
to
vnderstand
his
knowledge
.
Wherefore
Sister
,
sith
he
is
a
Noble
and
famous
Prince
,
let
vs
heare
him
,
for
he
hath
some
mystery
to
reveale
twixt
France
and
Spaine
.
Q.
M.
He
loues
France
,
and
hates
Spaine
,
and
which
is
worse
,
he
was
an
Heretique
,
therefore
his
tongue
can
make
no
Spherall
Melodie
.
E.
6.
But
his
Heresie
hath
brought
him
hether
to
Heaven
tho
,
and
he
is
a
famous
and
Noble
Prince
:
therefore
Cosen
Wales
speake
on
,
of
France
and
Spaine
,
for
now
we
are
all
resolved
to
heare
you
.
Q.
E.
I
gaue
him
my
Fathers
name
,
and
he
inheriteth
my
resolution
and
courage
,
and
the
King
his
Fathers
wisedome
,
therefore
he
can
neither
flatter
nor
dissemble
.
Q.
A.
Speake
on
Henry
.
P.
H.
Know
all
men
by
these
Presents
,
that
if
Spaine
did
see
the
Heart
and
Bowels
of
France
weltring
in
its
bloud
,
and
flaming
in
the
fire
of
an
intestine
Civill-warre
,
if
it
did
see
the
Princes
banded
against
the
King
,
or
the
King
against
the
Protestants
,
these
riffeling
of
the
Lovare
,
and
of
Paris
,
and
his
Maiestie
beseiging
of
Rochell
,
Sancerre
,
Sedan
,
Nismes
,
or
Saumury
,
or
denouncing
Warre
to
all
those
of
that
Religion
.
If
it
did
see
sixteene
Parisian
Tribunes
,
carrying
away
the
Court
of
Parliament
prisoners
to
the
Bastille
,
and
Chastellets
the
rebellious
Barycadoes
,
and
a
bloudie
Massacre
in
Paris
;
and
generally
in
all
the
Cities
of
the
Kingdome
,
if
hee
did
see
some
Princes
of
the
bloud
(
or
two
great
Dukes
,
as
were
Du
Mayene
and
Merury
)
Captivating
and
Deboshing
the
obedience
and
affections
of
the
French
Nobilitie
,
Cleargie
and
Commons
,
and
covering
their
pernitious
Designes
and
trecherous
attempts
,
vnder
the
Cloake
of
the
holy
League
;
If
it
did
see
Calais
,
Dourlaus
,
Amiens
,
Montdidier
,
Valencienes
,
Blauet
,
and
Croyden
,
or
other
strong
Cities
;
or
Forts
of
France
,
bearing
out
the
redd
ragged
Crosse
in
stead
of
the
three
yellow
Flower
Deluces
,
and
a
second
Mendoza
for
his
Ambassadour
,
sate
as
premier
President
,
and
Oracle
in
the
Lovare
,
Towne-house
and
Parliament
,
That
then
Phillip
the
III.
of
Spaine
loues
his
Sonne
in
Law
Lewes
the
thirteene
of
France
so
well
,
that
he
would
vse
him
as
King
Phillip
the
second
had
an
eager
desire
,
and
had
almost
done
great
Henry
his
Father
.
Q.
M.
Why
how
was
that
?
P.
H.
Right
as
my
God-mother
Queene
Elizabeth
hath
formerly
told
you
,
nothing
but
to
depriue
him
of
his
Kingdome
.
E.
6.
It
were
better
that
all
the
Iesuites
were
hanged
,
and
the
young
Queene
of
France
sent
home
to
Spaine
,
with
her
Portion
,
to
the
King
her
Father
.
Q.
E.
But
wee
see
strange
alterations
in
the
Court
of
France
,
for
some
dare
,
but
will
not
,
and
others
would
,
but
dare
not
informe
the
King
hereof
.
Q.
A.
France
hath
reason
,
yea
it
it
high
time
for
her
to
looke
to
her selfe
,
for
the
Agents
,
Iesuits
,
and
double
Pistols
of
Spaine
are
busie
,
and
their
Swords
and
Pikes
are
not
Idle
.
For
whiles
France
playes
the
Theorie
,
Spaine
playes
the
Practique
.
Of
the
Netherlands
.
H.
8.
How
doth
Spaine
and
the
Netherlands
agree
.
E.
6.
Spaine
hath
so
long
invred
and
enforced
the
Hollanders
to
bloud
and
warres
,
as
now
at
Sea
and
Land
they
are
become
such
braue
Souldiers
and
Mariners
,
as
they
feare
not
Spaine
,
and
to
loue
Spaniards
they
vow
t
is
impossible
,
much
lesse
to
obey
them
.
Q.
M.
It
is
pittie
that
King
Philip
the
second
ended
not
the
chastising
and
Conquest
of
these
Heretique
Hollanders
,
ere
King
Philip
the
third
beganne
it
,
or
that
he
cannot
reduce
them
to
obedience
,
by
ending
these
warres
with
more
fortunacie
,
and
lesse
danger
and
dammage
.
Q.
E.
Nay
Sister
,
it
is
pittie
that
these
two
Kings
of
Spaine
,
and
the
Archduke
Albertus
and
Isabella
,
haue
from
time
to
time
beene
so
ambitious
,
inhumane
,
cruell
,
and
revengefull
,
to
drowne
the
face
of
the
Netherlands
with
many
deluges
of
blood
,
in
seeking
to
preserue
their
libertie
,
liues
,
and
Consciences
from
the
cruell
Tyranny
and
Inquisition
of
Spaine
.
P.
H.
Indeed
for
this
fortie
yeares
the
Netherlands
hath
beene
the
Schoole
and
Theatre
of
Mars
,
whereon
there
hath
beene
more
braue
Souldiers
and
renowned
Captaines
slaine
,
then
in
any
Country
of
the
world
,
or
in
many
precedent
Ages
;
and
yet
all
this
blood
is
not
capable
to
quench
Spaines
Ambition
and
Tyranny
in
seeking
to
deuoure
those
Provinces
.
Q.
A.
Hath
not
Spaine
assaulted
the
Netherlands
as
well
by
Trechery
as
Hostillitie
?
Q.
E.
Yes
,
witnesse
the
damnable
Villaine
Gerrard
,
who
long
since
murthered
William
the
famous
Prince
of
Orenge
,
their
Lieutenant
Generall
,
and
father
to
Maurice
that
valiant
and
incomparable
Captaine
,
who
now
succeeds
him
in
his
Principalitie
.
Q.
M.
O
Sister
,
cast
not
so
base
an
aspersion
on
King
Philip
my
Husband
,
to
affirme
he
was
accessary
to
the
murther
of
William
Prince
of
Orenge
,
much
lesse
authorised
or
commanded
it
.
P.
H.
All
the
Ocean
betweene
Holland
and
Spaine
,
cannot
wash
off
that
Murther
from
your
Husband
King
Philip
,
for
his
proscription
to
murther
him
beares
it
,
and
his
Lieutenant
the
Duke
of
Parma
commanded
the
Count
Assonuille
to
deale
with
Gerrard
about
this
murther
,
who
promised
him
twenty-fiue
thousand
Crownes
to
effect
it
,
which
,
O
griefe
to
speake
it
,
he
did
.
E.
6.
But
his
valiant
Sonne
hath
long
since
had
revenge
for
the
death
of
his
Father
.
Q.
A.
If
he
haue
not
,
he
resolues
to
haue
it
.
H.
8.
But
hath
not
Spaine
since
attempted
,
or
broached
any
other
Treason
towardes
the
Hollanders
?
P.
H.
O
yes
very
lately
,
for
whilst
Spaine
is
Spaine
,
Holland
will
never
forget
how
neere
hee
was
to
haue
extinguished
her
libertie
,
and
surprized
their
State
,
by
infecting
and
corrupting
their
Secretary
Barnevelt
,
a
man
of
so
profound
wit
,
and
deepe
iudgement
and
experience
in
matters
of
State
,
as
he
was
not
onely
the
Oracle
of
the
Netherlands
,
but
the
Ornament
and
Wonder
of
Europe
,
yea
of
his
time
.
Q.
E.
See
,
see
the
fruites
of
Spaines
Gold
,
and
the
effects
of
his
boundlesse
Ambition
,
for
it
is
a
common
custome
with
him
,
if
not
by
the
mayne
,
yet
surely
by
the
bye
,
to
breake
the
necke
of
great
Princes
,
and
free
Estates
,
publique
Ministers
,
whether
they
are
great
Souldiers
or
great
Statesmen
,
or
both
.
Q.
A.
Yea
,
the
Web
of
this
Treason
was
so
cunningly
wouen
,
and
so
subtilly
and
finely
spun
,
as
if
the
Netherlands
had
not
broken
Barnevelts
necke
,
he
long
ere
this
had
assuredly
broken
the
necke
both
of
their
libertie
and
State
.
Q.
M.
Well
Barnavelt
is
gone
,
and
now
Spaine
needs
not
feare
his
pollicie
.
P.
H.
Nay
,
Barnavelt
being
dead
,
and
Maurice
that
famous
Prince
of
Orenge
liuing
,
Holland
need
not
feare
either
the
trechery
,
or
force
of
Spaine
.
H.
8.
But
Nephew
,
I
heare
that
the
Vnited
Provinces
of
the
Low-Countries
will
this
Spring
haue
Warres
with
Spaine
,
for
their
Peace
is
neere
expired
and
ended
.
P.
H.
A
braue
,
noble
,
and
wise
resolution
of
theirs
.
E.
6.
Heretofore
England
taught
the
Hollanders
wit
and
valour
,
and
now
they
resolue
to
shew
England
the
way
to
those
two
Vertues
.
Q.
M.
But
the
Gold
and
Silver
of
Spaine
will
prevaile
against
them
,
and
weigh
them
downe
.
P.
H.
But
the
Hollanders
had
Ships
enough
of
their
owne
,
and
Gold
,
Silver
,
and
Men
from
England
,
therefore
they
disdaine
to
feare
Spaine
,
nay
,
rather
they
vow
before
the
next
Summer
to
make
Spaine
feare
them
.
H.
8.
See
,
see
,
a
handfull
of
men
dare
attempt
that
against
Spaine
,
which
Great
Brittaines
huge
infinitie
will
not
.
Q.
E.
And
yet
their
cause
and
reason
is
Englands
,
viz.
their
Consciences
,
Liues
,
and
Countries
.
Q.
A.
Pray
God
England
and
France
interpose
not
to
crosse
the
Warres
,
and
seeke
to
conclude
a
Peace
betwixt
Holland
and
Spaine
.
E.
6.
But
the
Hollanders
are
resolued
to
make
King
Iames
a
large
Offer
,
to
protect
them
against
Spaine
.
Q.
M.
But
King
Iames
loues
Spaine
too
well
,
and
therefore
will
not
hearken
to
,
or
regard
their
proffer
,
for
his
Maiestie
is
resolved
not
to
protect
them
.
P.
H.
The
more
is
the
pitty
.
Q.
E.
The
more
my
griefe
.
Q.
M.
And
without
griefe
or
pitty
,
the
more
is
my
ioy
.
Q.
E.
I
protected
the
Netherlands
in
despight
of
Spaine
.
E
6.
But
Spaine
went
neere
by
your
Leicester
,
to
betray
both
you
and
them
.
H.
8.
If
King
Iames
would
now
protect
the
Netherlands
,
how
easily
might
hee
refetch
backe
Flushing
,
the
Brill
,
and
the
Ramekins
?
E.
6.
Nay
,
how
easily
did
his
Maiestie
depart
with
them
to
the
Netherlands
?
P.
H.
It
infinitely
reioyceth
mee
to
vnderstand
the
Hollanders
braue
resolution
and
forwardnesse
to
haue
warres
with
Spaine
.
Q.
M.
But
there
is
a
secret
tricke
to
coole
their
courages
which
they
least
thinke
of
.
H.
8.
As
how
Daughter
?
Q.
M.
Why
,
to
Pistoll
this
Prince
of
Orenge
,
as
they
did
his
Father
.
Q
▪
E.
Heaven
forbid
it
.
P.
H.
God
defend
it
.
Q.
M.
Why
't
is
but
one
for
another
;
for
hee
knowing
Barnauelt
a
Traitor
to
his
Countrey
because
a
Pensioner
to
Spaine
,
caused
the
Lords
States
,
to
put
him
to
death
,
why
then
(
in
exchange
and
requitall
)
should
not
a
Pensioner
of
Spayne
either
poyson
,
or
pistoll
the
Prince
of
Orenge
?
E.
6.
These
diabolicall
resolutions
and
bloudy
Positions
come
from
Hell
.
Q.
E.
And
thither
they
goe
that
professe
and
practise
them
.
Q.
M.
The
King
of
Spaine
is
too
religious
to
authorise
so
execrable
a
Murther
.
Q.
E.
But
the
Pope
as
holy
as
he
is
will
pardon
it
,
and
yet
the
world
,
I
hope
,
knowes
,
that
the
K.
of
Spaine
cannot
be
so
religious
as
his
Holines
.
Q.
A.
It
were
good
then
for
Holland
to
bee
carefull
of
their
Prince
of
Orenge
his
life
;
as
all
the
World
knowes
his
Excellencie
is
of
their
safetie
and
preseruations
.
P.
H.
And
it
will
likewise
behoue
them
to
obserue
withall
(
as
I
hope
they
doe
)
how
subtilly
and
trecherously
Spinola
takes
their
neighbour
Townes
for
the
Emperour
,
and
keeps
them
for
the
King
of
Spaine
his
Master
.
E.
6.
And
if
the
Warres
goe
on
'twixt
Holland
and
Spaine
;
as
I
hope
they
will
,
It
will
be
needefull
for
Spaine
to
haue
a
speciall
care
of
his
West-Indies
from
the
Holland
Fleets
.
H.
8.
Wherefore
onely
Spaines
West-Indies
,
or
rather
why
not
all
the
Worlds
West-Indies
;
sith
their
red
and
white
earth
sets
all
the
World
on
fire
and
in
Combustion
.
Q.
A.
Surely
,
ere
this
Summer
passe
,
and
the
next
appeare
,
the
Hollanders
vow
to
haue
a
heaue
at
them
.
Q.
M.
Nay
,
I
hope
the
contrary
,
for
the
West-Indies
is
the
maine
&
onely
prop
of
Spaine
,
which
if
once
found
out
,
and
taken
away
from
them
,
will
quickly
make
the
greatnesse
of
his
Ambition
and
Empire
to
totter
.
P.
H.
Till
when
,
all
other
Kingdomes
and
Estates
of
Christendome
may
thinke
themselues
exempt
from
Spaines
feare
,
but
shall
never
bee
from
his
danger
.
Q.
E.
This
Holland
perfectly
and
apparantly
knowes
,
and
it
were
a
great
happinesse
for
the
rest
of
Europe
,
if
they
would
heerein
imitate
their
Generosity
,
Valour
and
wisedome
,
who
stand
on
their
Guards
with
their
swords
drawne
,
and
their
match
lighted
ready
to
giue
fire
;
as
being
constantly
and
vertuously
resolued
neither
to
loue
,
trust
,
nor
feare
Spaine
.
ENGLAND
.
H.
8.
But
now
leaue
we
all
other
Countries
,
and
come
wee
to
England
,
from
whence
being
descended
,
wee
by
the
Lawes
of
Nature
,
are
eternally
obliged
to
honour
and
loue
it
;
yea
to
preferre
it
and
its
prosperitie
and
glory
to
all
other
Countries
of
the
world
;
wherfore
let
vs
see
Spaines
Ambition
and
Enuie
towards
it
;
and
how
he
hath
from
time
to
time
borne
himselfe
to
the
English
.
Q.
M.
There
is
no
Kingdome
in
the
world
,
that
Spaines
loues
better
then
England
.
Q.
E.
Nor
no
people
vnder
the
Sunne
that
it
hates
more
then
Englishmen
.
E.
6.
For
Peter
King
of
Castille
most
ingratefully
and
basely
abused
our
famous
and
generous
Edward
the
Blacke
Prince
,
(
the
Ornament
of
Armes
,
the
Glory
of
England
,
and
the
Honour
of
the
World
)
and
his
whole
Army
in
Spaine
,
after
that
he
had
inthronised
&
seated
the
said
Peter
in
his
Kingdome
,
and
with
his
Victorious
Armes
expel'd
Henry
the
Bastard
,
who
Vsurped
it
.
Q.
M.
If
Spaine
had
not
loued
England
and
Englishmen
,
King
Philip
would
never
haue
married
me
.
Q.
E.
He
loued
you
well
Sister
,
but
your
Kingdome
farre
better
,
for
you
were
the
Obiect
of
his
zeale
,
but
England
that
of
his
Ambition
.
H.
8.
But
Elizabeth
,
he
hated
you
more
then
ever
he
loued
Mary
.
Q.
E.
And
yet
I
dare
truely
affirme
,
that
King
Philip
loued
my
Kingdome
farre
more
then
ever
he
hated
my
Person
.
H.
8.
To
speake
truth
Daughter
,
he
neither
loued
you
,
nor
Mary
his
wife
and
Queene
,
but
onely
England
.
P.
H.
And
I
haue
heard
that
if
he
had
neuer
married
my
Aunt
Mary
,
she
had
never
lost
Calais
▪
nor
consequently
,
England
,
France
.
E.
6.
Though
that
Match
were
vnfortunate
to
England
in
the
losse
of
Calais
,
yet
it
was
fortunate
in
that
Philip
and
Mary
had
no
Children
.
Q.
M.
If
we
had
had
any
Males
,
England
had
beene
long
since
a
Province
to
Spaine
.
Q.
E.
God
knew
so
much
,
and
therefore
preuented
it
,
wherein
I
blesse
his
Mercy
and
Providence
,
as
also
your
sterrilitie
.
P.
H.
Aunt
,
and
I
your
resolution
in
speaking
it
.
Q.
M.
The
Kings
of
Spaine
are
the
greatest
and
most
potent
Kings
of
the
World
.
Q.
E.
Yea
,
in
Ambition
and
ostentation
,
but
not
in
power
,
for
I
proued
it
not
so
,
I
found
it
not
so
,
I
left
it
not
so
.
P.
H.
You
Madam
found
Warre
with
Spaine
surer
and
safer
then
Peace
.
Q.
E.
Yea
,
farre
more
safer
,
and
farre
more
profitable
too
for
England
.
Q.
A.
Then
I
wonder
that
King
Iames
my
Husband
so
delights
and
drownes
himselfe
in
his
Peace
with
Spaine
.
Q.
M.
O
but
Spaine
findes
both
policie
and
reason
enough
to
lull
King
Iames
a
sleepe
in
the
Cradle
of
Peace
and
Securitie
.
Q.
E
▪
I
neuer
feared
Spaine
lesse
th●n
when
I
loued
it
not
,
nor
more
then
when
it
made
greatest
shew
to
loue
me
.
P.
H.
And
the
King
my
Father
neuer
loued
it
more
,
then
now
when
he
feares
it
.
E.
6.
But
is
it
possible
King
Iames
feares
Spaine
?
P.
H.
It
seemes
so
,
for
els
he
would
neuer
loue
it
so
excessiuely
.
Q.
E.
Sir
Nicholas
Bacon
my
Chancellor
on
his
Death-bed
wrote
mee
a
Letter
,
that
the
Glory
and
Conservation
of
England
consisted
in
holding
Spaine
at
Rapiers
poynt
;
and
will
not
his
Sonne
Sir
Francys
,
the
now
Chancellor
tell
his
Master
so
much
?
P.
H.
O
no
,
he
is
otherwise
imployed
.
H.
8.
But
tell
me
Daughter
,
was
Spaine
euer
trecherous
to
your
Person
?
Q.
E.
Almost
euery
yeare
Spaine
hatched
me
a
new
Treason
,
witnesse
Pa●y
,
Babbington
,
Williams
,
Yeorke
,
Lopez
,
and
infinite
others
,
who
sought
to
lay
violent
hands
on
my
Person
and
Life
,
but
that
God
in
his
infinite
mercie
and
prouidence
still
protected
and
defended
me
,
to
their
owne
confusion
.
P.
H.
But
King
Philip
II.
chiefely
discouered
his
loue
to
England
,
in
the
trecherous
attempt
of
his
huge
Armado
of
88.
(
tearmed
by
the
Pope
,
in
a
bravery
)
The
Invincible
Fleete
,
)
at
what
time
his
ambition
and
greedie
desire
of
Vsurpation
,
so
farre
oreswayd
him
and
his
Councell
,
as
he
thought
to
haue
made
an
absolute
Conquest
of
England
;
but
he
was
deceived
of
his
hopes
;
for
God
looked
on
England
with
his
indulgent
eye
of
pittie
and
compassion
,
and
on
that
great
and
mightie
Navall
Army
with
contempt
and
detestation
.
Q.
E.
Yea
,
God
was
so
gracious
to
England
,
and
so
mercifull
to
me
,
as
not
onely
my
Ships
and
People
,
but
the
Windes
and
Waues
fought
for
my
defence
,
and
that
of
my
Countrey
,
against
the
pride
and
malice
of
Spaine
,
who
grew
mad
with
anger
,
and
pale
with
griefe
,
to
see
this
his
great
and
warrelike
Armado
beaten
,
foyled
,
and
confounded
,
in
the
midst
of
their
glory
and
ambition
.
E.
6.
But
Sister
,
was
this
all
Spaines
malice
and
trechery
towardes
You
and
your
State
?
Q.
E.
No
,
no
,
for
I
had
forgotten
how
before
that
,
his
Maiestie
in
Spaine
and
his
Lieutenant
the
Duke
of
Alua
in
Flanders
embarg'd
and
confisk'd
a
world
of
Goods
and
Ships
that
belonged
to
my
Subiects
,
contrary
to
all
Lawes
of
Conscience
and
Nations
.
P.
H.
And
no
other
.
Q.
E.
Yes
,
King
Philip
beg'd
my
Kingdome
of
Ireland
of
the
Pope
,
and
so
assisted
the
Rebels
,
and
made
a
confedracy
with
them
for
the
Conquest
thereof
from
me
,
bringing
in
first
Stukley
,
then
Don
Iuan
of
Aquilla
,
into
that
Kingdome
to
the
same
effect
:
But
Heaven
alwayes
laught
at
their
ambition
,
vsurpation
,
and
trechery
,
which
still
prooved
as
vaine
,
as
impious
and
vniust
.
P.
H.
And
yet
see
the
iustice
of
the
cause
,
and
the
●quitie
of
your
Armes
;
for
Essex
landed
at
Caliz
,
and
in
despight
of
Spaine
tooke
and
rifled
it
,
beating
and
sinking
their
best
and
greatest
Ships
,
in
a
maner
without
any
shew
of
defence
or
resistance
.
Q.
M.
O
but
now
the
Times
are
altered
and
changed
,
for
then
Spaine
was
poore
and
England
rich
,
and
now
England
is
poore
and
Spaine
rich
:
Likewise
Spaines
Warres
,
parsimonie
,
and
frugalitie
,
makes
his
Men
Souldiers
;
and
our
Peace
,
pride
,
and
superfluitie
,
hath
made
our
Souldiers
either
Courtiers
or
Cowards
.
H.
8.
France
knew
that
I
found
Souldiers
in
England
when
I
tooke
Tourney
and
Boloigne
.
Q
E.
And
Spaine
felt
that
English
were
Souldiers
,
when
my
Drake
beate
them
on
my
Seas
,
and
Coast
in
88
my
Norris
at
Croyden
in
94
my
Essex
at
Calez
in
96.
and
my
Montioy
at
Kingsale
in
1600.
Q.
M.
But
then
England
was
delighted
in
Combats
,
Warres
and
Victories
,
and
now
in
Stage-Playes
,
Maskes
,
Reuels
and
Carousing
,
so
as
their
courages
are
become
as
rustie
as
their
Swords
and
Muskets
,
which
serue
to
grace
the
walles
,
and
not
the
fieldes
,
except
in
poore
Musters
,
and
sleyght
Traynings
,
and
that
but
once
a
yeare
,
which
vpon
the
whole
,
is
more
for
ostentation
then
Seruice
:
Moreouer
,
then
Englands
Navy-Royall
could
giue
a
law
to
the
Ocean
,
and
now
time
and
negligence
hath
almost
made
all
these
Ships
vnseruiceable
,
who
lye
rotting
at
Chatam
and
Rochester
.
E.
6.
Heere
Queene
Mary
hath
reason
,
for
now
shee
is
in
the
truth
.
Q.
E.
What
(
Sister
and
Brother

my
Royall
Navy
lye
rotting
,
who
are
the
Bulwarkes
and
Walles
of
England
,
and
when
I
left
them
were
capable
to
beate
the
power
and
pride
of
Spaine
to
shivers
;
O
this
grieues
me
!
but
I
beleeue
not
that
my
wise
and
prudent
Successour
King
Iames
will
suffer
or
permit
it
,
I
pray
,
God-sonne
and
Nephew
Prince
Henry
,
resolue
me
hereof
.
P.
H.
Indeede
Madam
I
confesse
I
haue
seene
so
much
my selfe
,
when
God
knowes
I
greeued
to
see
it
;
neyther
did
I
fayle
to
put
the
King
my
Father
often
in
remembrance
thereof
;
and
his
Maiestie
still
promised
mee
to
new
builde
and
repayre
that
Royall
Fleete
,
to
which
number
I
added
my
Prince-Royall
,
a
Ship
,
who
had
shee
many
fellowes
,
England
needed
not
feare
all
the
Fleetes
of
the
World
;
but
although
the
old
Lord
Admirall
hath
not
beene
carefull
for
the
preseruation
of
the
Nauy
,
yet
the
new
one
is
.
H.
8.
If
he
be
not
,
I
grieue
for
the
Fleete
.
Q.
E.
And
I
lament
it
.
E.
6.
And
I
pittie
it
.
Q.
A.
And
I
bewaile
it
.
Q.
M.
And
not
to
dissemble
,
both
Gondomar
,
King
Philip
his
Master
,
the
Pope
,
my selfe
,
and
all
the
Romane
Catholiques
of
England
reioyce
hereat
,
for
the
Impotency
and
destruction
of
this
Royall
Nauy
,
is
the
Harbinger
to
prepare
the
way
,
and
a
step
for
King
Philip
to
mount
the
Throne
of
Estate
,
to
plucke
off
King
Iames
his
Crowne
,
and
to
place
and
settle
it
on
his
owne
head
.
Q.
E.
O
my
Ships
,
my
Ships
:
God
knowes
they
were
still
deere
to
me
,
because
still
necessary
to
England
.
Where
is
my
Drake
,
where
my
Cumberland
,
my
Forbisher
,
my
Grinuille
,
my
Cauendish
,
my
Hawkins
,
my
Rauleigh
,
and
the
rest
;
Alas
,
they
want
me
,
and
King
Iames
and
England
wants
them
;
for
when
they
liued
,
and
I
raigned
,
our
Valour
could
stop
the
Progression
of
Spaine
;
Yea
,
my
Ships
domineerd
in
his
Seas
and
Ports
,
and
their
Clouds
of
smoke
and
fire
,
with
their
Peales
of
Thunder
,
strooke
such
amazement
to
the
hearts
,
and
terrour
to
the
courages
of
Castille
and
her
faint-hearted
Castillians
,
that
every
Spanish
Bird
kept
his
owne
Nest
,
not
powerfull
enough
to
defend
themselues
,
much
lesse
to
offend
any
,
and
least
of
all
England
,
who
was
then
in
her
Triumphes
,
in
her
lustre
,
in
her
glory
.
P.
H.
Grieue
no
more
deere
Aunt
for
the
Nauy
Royall
of
England
;
for
although
Nottingham
were
remisse
and
carelesse
herein
,
yet
braue
Buckingham
hath
of
late
yeares
set
a
new
face
on
that
Fleet
;
and
makes
it
not
onely
his
delight
,
but
his
glory
to
re-edifie
and
reforme
them
;
yea
there
is
not
a
yeare
passes
him
,
but
he
brings
some
new
forth
from
their
Dockes
,
and
puts
in
other
olde
,
although
Cranfield
(
resembling
himselfe
)
byte
his
lippes
at
the
Charge
thereof
,
because
he
affirmes
he
hath
other
occasions
to
disburse
,
and
pay
away
the
Kings
Treasure
.
Q.
E.
Nephew
Wales
,
I
am
glad
to
heare
that
Buckingham
is
so
carefull
of
Englands
Fleet-Royall
,
and
in
very
deed
,
his
Ambition
,
Care
,
and
Zeale
herein
,
will
infallibly
purchase
him
much
loue
and
honour
of
the
whole
Kingdome
,
especially
if
he
continue
it
.
H.
8.
Me
thinkes
Scotland
annexed
and
vnited
to
England
,
should
make
it
farre
the
stronger
.
Q.
E.
But
how
can
King
Iames
say
England
and
Scotland
is
strong
,
when
he
feares
the
power
of
Spaine
,
and
will
not
know
or
beleeue
his
owne
.
E.
6.
Yea
,
it
were
much
honour
to
the
King
,
and
happinesse
to
his
Kingdome
and
Subiects
,
if
in
any
poynt
(
knowing
the
weaknesse
thereof
)
he
would
fortifie
and
reforme
it
.
Q.
A.
And
it
were
a
great
happinesse
for
most
Kingdomes
and
free
Estates
of
Europe
,
if
they
would
follow
the
Examples
of
the
Venetians
and
Hollanders
,
who
will
neither
trust
,
nor
loue
,
much
lesse
,
feare
Spaine
.
P.
H.
And
among
the
rest
,
if
England
would
follow
it
,
they
should
draw
securitie
out
of
danger
,
whereas
now
her
apparant
danger
is
drawne
and
deriued
from
her
apparant
securitie
.
Q.
A.
O
that
the
King
my
Husband
would
thinke
hereof
.
P.
H.
O
that
the
King
my
Father
would
make
vse
hereof
.
Q
E.
O
that
King
Iames
my
Heyre
and
Successor
would
not
hearken
or
beleeue
the
contrary
hereof
.
H.
8.
But
this
were
the
way
to
haue
Warres
with
Spaine
,
and
King
Iames
I
vnderstand
,
is
resolued
to
liue
and
dye
in
peace
with
them
.
Q.
M.
Warre
cannot
be
bought
at
a
cheape
rate
.
Q.
E.
But
it
is
pittie
that
peace
should
be
bought
at
too
deare
and
dishonourable
a
rate
.
P.
H.
I
haue
alwayes
beene
informed
that
England
still
gets
by
her
Warres
with
Spaine
.
Q.
E.
I
got
by
my
Warres
with
Spaine
,
and
Spaine
lost
by
it
.
P.
H.
My
Father
and
his
Subiects
lose
by
his
Peace
with
Spaine
,
and
Spaine
gets
by
it
.
Q.
M.
When
England
hath
lost
her selfe
shee
can
lose
no
more
.
Q.
E.
But
Sister
,
your
death
was
the
death
of
the
Popes
hopes
,
and
of
Spaines
pretences
to
England
.
P.
H.
But
they
both
seeme
to
reviue
and
bud
forth
afresh
,
if
the
Match
betweene
my
noble
Brother
P.
Charles
,
and
the
Infanta
of
Spaine
take
effect
.
Q.
A.
May
Heauen
deny
the
first
,
and
the
King
your
Father
never
consent
to
the
second
.
Q.
E.
So
shall
Spaine
euer
feare
England
,
but
neuer
England
Spaine
.
Q.
M.
But
I
hope
the
contrary
;
for
in
these
dayes
the
King
of
Spaines
Gold
and
his
Embassadour
Count
Gondomar
act
wonders
in
England
.
H.
8.
Hath
Gondomar
propounded
this
match
to
King
Iames
?
P.
H.
O
long
since
,
and
he
hath
vowed
to
weare
out
his
red
leather
Coach
,
and
greene
buckeram
Litter
,
but
he
will
see
an
end
of
it
this
Parliament
.
Q.
A.
I
thought
indeede
it
was
not
for
nothing
,
that
he
makes
Aesops
Fables
his
daily
pocket
guest
.
E.
6.
How
doth
King
Iames
relish
this
match
.
Q.
M.
His
Exchequer
is
poore
,
and
King
Philips
Indies
riches
,
and
therefore
his
Maiestie
likes
it
so
well
,
as
he
will
hearken
to
no
other
.
H.
8.
How
doth
Prince
Charles
himselfe
like
this
motion
?
P.
H.
I
know
not
how
my
Brother
likes
it
,
but
for
my
part
,
I
should
ever
haue
preferred
a
Daughter
of
France
to
that
of
Spaine
,
and
I
hope
the
match
will
not
succeed
,
because
my
Noble
Brother
Prince
Charles
is
wise
,
valiant
,
and
generous
.
E.
6.
But
how
doth
the
braue
and
graue
Parliament
savour
this
Spanish
match
?
Q.
A.
Few
loue
it
,
most
feare
it
,
But
as
the
match
,
so
the
Parliament
is
not
yet
ended
.
Q.
E.
This
would
be
Musicke
indeede
for
the
Romane
Catholikes
of
England
,
if
it
should
take
effect
;
for
the
very
first
newes
thereof
,
made
them
flappe
their
wings
,
as
if
they
were
readie
to
crowe
.
Q.
M.
Yea
,
for
they
hope
,
and
which
is
more
,
they
know
,
that
if
it
proue
a
match
,
That
the
Infanta
will
soone
introduce
the
Masse
,
and
Vsher
in
the
Pope
;
therefore
they
haue
reason
to
reioyce
at
it
.
P.
H.
But
if
the
King
of
Spaine
will
not
giue
the
summe
which
my
Father
King
Iames
demands
,
will
not
they
make
it
vp
?
Q.
E.
It
is
probable
and
credible
,
That
their
Holy
Father
the
Pope
and
themselues
will
stretch
both
their
purses
and
credits
to
knit
the
match
.
H.
8.
Why
?
hath
Gondomar
such
power
with
King
Iames
,
to
hope
to
see
this
match
effected
?
Q.
M.
O
yes
;
for
his
Maiestie
saith
,
that
his
Master
is
an
honest
King
,
and
he
a
wise
Servant
:
The
first
all
the
world
knowes
;
and
the
second
,
I
hope
England
shall
shortly
feele
,
at
least
,
if
all
hookes
take
.
P.
H.
Indeed
if
Gondomar
can
effect
this
match
,
it
is
the
direct
way
for
him
to
be
a
Grande
of
Spaine
,
and
to
procure
a
red
Hat
for
his
Sonne
,
or
Nephew
.
Q.
A.
Was
the
Duke
of
Monteleone
so
rewarded
for
his
French
matches
.
Q.
M.
He
is
alreadie
a
Grande
of
Spaine
,
and
hath
the
promise
of
a
Ha●
.
Q.
A.
Why
then
Count
Gondomar
need
not
feare
,
for
he
hath
as
much
policie
as
the
Duke
of
Monteleone
,
though
not
so
much
ostentation
.
H.
8.
Who
made
and
concluded
the
match
with
King
Philip
?
Q.
M.
My selfe
,
and
the
Parliament
.
Q.
E.
Nay
Sister
,
put
in
Woolsey
and
Gardyner
,
and
leaue
out
the
Parliament
;
for
you
onely
proposed
it
them
but
for
forme
,
and
had
secretly
concluded
it
before
hand
your selfe
.
Q.
M.
Suppose
I
did
,
I
might
doe
it
of
mine
owne
authoritie
,
and
prerogatiue
Royall
.
Q.
E.
But
you
offred
no
faire
play
to
the
Parliament
though
,
in
asking
their
aduise
when
the
Contracts
were
ready
to
be
sealed
.
Q.
M.
But
I
had
reason
to
follow
mine
owne
Iudgement
,
not
their
Passions
.
H.
8.
Nay
,
nay
Daughter
,
you
contrariwise
followed
your
own
passion
,
not
their
Iudgements
,
&
so
God
gaue
limits
to
Philips
Ambition
,
and
your
owne
desires
,
by
making
you
forsake
earth
,
&
he
England
.
E.
6.
But
wise
King
Iames
is
opposite
to
my
Sister
Mary
,
aswel
in
Religion
as
sexe
;
and
therfore
I
hope
,
nay
,
I
assure
my selfe
,
he
will
first
consult
this
match
with
his
Parliament
,
ere
he
conclude
it
with
Spaine
.
P.
H.
If
the
voice
of
the
Parliament
be
free
,
and
not
enforced
,
I
make
no
doubt
but
the
Pope
,
the
King
of
Spaine
,
Gondomar
,
and
all
our
Recusants
will
come
short
of
their
hopes
for
the
match
.
H.
8.
Daughter
,
what
benefits
proposed
you
to
the
Parliament
,
by
your
match
with
Spaine
?
Q.
M.
Strength
,
Profit
,
Honour
,
which
England
,
King
Iames
,
and
Prince
Charles
will
likewise
now
find
if
the
match
hold
.
E.
6.
As
for
strength
,
if
England
would
know
its
selfe
,
it
need
not
expect
or
hope
for
any
from
Spaine
:
for
Spaines
assistance
hath
alwayes
proued
fatall
and
ruinous
,
to
those
who
haue
vsed
it
;
And
if
England
would
assume
the
ancient
generositie
of
her
Ancestors
,
and
forsake
her
new fangled
pride
,
and
prodigalitie
,
Wee
know
it
is
strong
enough
to
beate
Spaine
,
and
all
his
Kingdomes
and
Prouinces
,
&
no
way
so
weake
,
to
feare
that
Spaine
should
make
England
a
P●●uince
;
for
it
were
farre
safer
for
England
,
and
Englishmen
,
if
they
wore
worse
cloathes
,
and
had
better
hearts
and
swords
,
and
if
they
were
more
martiall
and
lesse
effeminate
.
Q.
E.
For
Profit
,
what
Indies
are
richer
then
England
?
For
if
England
want
money
,
her selfe
is
still
more
powerfull
and
capable
to
inrich
it selfe
,
if
it
would
be
lesse
vaine
,
and
more
frugall
and
industrious
,
&c.
What
is
a
fewe
hundred
thousand
pounds
to
England
,
if
England
be
thereby
exposed
to
the
danger
of
Spaine
?
or
that
it
be
againe
fetcht
from
them
by
the
Bye
,
as
it
was
brought
in
by
the
Mayne
?
for
was
profit
ever
cheape
when
it
was
bought
with
losse
and
repentance
,
with
teares
and
bloud
?
or
shall
not
euery
Ducket
be
weighed
and
counterpoised
downe
with
a
farre
greater
preiudice
and
inconueniency
:
for
if
the
Match
hold
,
will
not
our
Recusants
looke
a-loofe
?
will
not
Spaniards
be
so
ambitiously
insolent
,
to
attempt
to
out-looke
English
?
will
not
the
Pope
steale
in
by
degrees
,
and
the
King
of
Spaine
breake
in
either
like
a
Torrent
or
a
Thunderbolt
,
when
his
Factors
and
Agents
haue
made
all
things
ripe
and
in
a
readinesse
?
will
this
be
Englands
profit
?
P.
H.
For
Honour
,
England
and
Scotland
were
free
,
Royall
,
and
ancient
Monarchies
;
when
indeed
Spaine
was
not
Spaine
,
but
dis-ioynted
and
dissevered
Provinces
:
yea
,
for
Pompe
,
State
,
and
Glory
,
our
Princes
were
Kings
,
when
their
Kinges
were
scarce
Princes
,
nor
their
Princes
Nobles
:
Therefore
GREAT
BRITAINE
by
the
Match
can
conferre
and
adde
honour
to
Spaine
;
but
not
Spaine
to
GREAT
BRITTAINE
.
Q.
A.
I
could
neuer
yet
affect
the
Match
of
Spaine
,
for
either
of
the
two
Princes
my
Sonnes
:
for
the
Spaniard
is
by
nature
as
trecherous
as
proud
,
and
although
Northampton
perswaded
me
thereto
,
yet
I
loued
true-hearted
Salisbury
,
who
alwayes
diuerted
me
from
it
;
as
(
in
the
depth
of
his
Allegiance
,
and
the
profunditie
of
his
wisedome
&
Iudgement
)
well
fore-seeing
they
would
proue
fatall
and
ruinous
to
England
.
E.
6.
It
is
strange
to
see
with
what
insatiable
desire
and
Ambition
,
Spaine
couets
England
;
for
he
hath
alreadie
attempted
it
by
treachery
,
by
force
,
and
now
by
the
Match
of
his
Daughter
the
Infanta
to
Prince
Charles
.
Q.
M.
You
meane
King
Philip
the
2.
and
not
this
present
King
Philip
the
3
;
And
as
Don
Iuan
de
Taris
(
the
Ambassadour
of
Spaine
)
told
King
Iames
at
his
first
comming
to
the
Crowne
of
England
,
that
the
Ambition
and
malice
of
Spaine
to
England
,
dyed
with
that
Prince
,
and
was
interred
and
buryed
with
him
.
Q.
E.
But
was
this
King
Philip
the
third
and
his
Councell
neuer
acquainted
with
that
horrible
Gunpowder
Treason
,
whereby
it
was
intended
and
resolued
,
that
England
should
haue
beene
blowne
vp
,
ouerthrowne
,
and
ruined
in
a
moment
.
Q.
M.
O
no
,
he
is
too
Catholike
a
King
to
haue
hearkened
,
much
lesse
to
haue
approued
that
Passionate
plot
.
Q.
E.
You
might
haue
said
,
that
execrable
and
damnable
plot
of
treason
,
but
that
you
will
still
seeke
to
diminish
and
extenuate
Rome
and
Spaines
Treasons
.
Q.
M.
You
infinitely
wrong
the
Pope
,
and
King
of
Spaine
,
to
suspect
,
much
lesse
to
beleeue
,
that
they
were
acquainted
with
that
Powder-plot
.
Q.
E.
No
:
went
not
Faulkes
(
that
hellish
Incendary
)
once
to
Rome
about
it
,
and
the
younger
Winter
twice
to
Vallidolide
.
Q.
M.
Yea
,
about
some
other
businesse
it
may
be
,
although
I
must
confesse
it
was
very
immediately
before
that
Treason
was
discouered
.
P.
H.
Gondomar
told
me
,
that
both
the
Pope
and
King
of
Spaine
abhord
that
Treason
.
Q.
A.
I
feare
they
abhord
it
,
for
griefe
it
tooke
not
effect
.
Q.
M.
If
euer
this
King
Philip
hated
England
,
yee
may
be
sure
now
he
loues
it
;
for
else
he
would
neuer
seeke
to
match
his
Daughter
to
it
.
Q.
E.
What
force
and
trechery
cannot
effect
,
now
affection
in
the
match
shall
.
Wherein
King
Philip
is
of
Lysanders
minde
,
who
when
the
Lyons
skinne
will
not
serue
,
he
will
sowe
on
a
peece
of
the
Foxes
tayle
.
E.
6.
So
he
come
into
England
,
he
cares
not
by
which
way
he
ariue
.
P.
H.
So
the
Daughter
come
not
into
England
,
England
neede
not
feare
the
comming
of
the
Father
.
Q.
M.
Count
Gondomar
will
beate
his
head
and
his
horse
shoes
,
but
he
will
bring
in
the
Daughter
,
and
already
his
hopes
&
the
probabilities
are
great
,
for
hee
is
exceeding
great
and
familiar
with
King
Iames.
Q.
E.
Else
he
could
neuer
haue
gotten
open
the
Prisons-doores
for
the
Romane
Priests
and
Iesuites
.
P.
H.
Nor
haue
made
Rauleighs
head
to
caper
beyond
his
body
.
Q.
A.
Nor
haue
kept
backe
an
Armie
from
my
Sonne
and
Daughter
,
the
King
and
Queene
of
Bohemia
,
when
so
many
hundred
thousand
valiant
English
Souldiers
desired
and
longed
to
haue
serued
them
in
their
warres
.
Q.
E.
Nor
haue
shipt
away
so
great
a
quantitie
of
Ordnance
for
Spaine
,
which
one
of
these
dayes
will
returne
Bullets
to
our
hearts
.
E.
6.
Nor
haue
procured
a
gallant
Fleete
to
secure
the
coast
of
Spaine
,
against
the
Turkish
Pyrates
,
vnder
coulour
of
going
to
Argier
and
Barbary
.
P.
H.
That
Fleete
was
fitter
to
haue
gone
to
Mexico
.
Q.
A.
So
indeed
it
might
haue
returned
with
glory
and
Gold
,
whereas
now
I
feare
it
will
with
losse
and
repentance
,
I
will
not
say
with
shame
.
Q.
E.
I
know
by
Experience
,
it
is
an
excellent
thing
for
England
to
fight
with
Spaniards
,
but
not
to
ioyne
with
Spaniards
against
others
.
P.
H.
Why
should
not
our
English
Fleetes
goe
for
the
West
Indies
.
Q.
M.
If
this
Proposition
be
broached
,
then
Gondomar
will
runne
madde
.
E.
6.
What
difference
is
there
betwixt
the
East
and
West
Indies
.
P.
H.
As
much
as
there
is
betweene
Pepper
and
Siluer
,
or
white
Feathers
and
yellow
Gold
.
H.
8.
O
but
England
,
neere
this
twentie
yeares
hath
lost
those
golden
times
of
going
to
the
gardens
of
Hesperides
.
P.
H.
And
now
Holland
after
ten
yeares
tryall
,
and
patience
,
resolues
to
finde
them
.
Q.
E.
Now
we
speake
of
Holland
:
It
againe
exceedingly
grieues
me
,
that
England
goes
from
Holland
,
in
that
it
will
not
protect
it
against
Spaine
.
Q.
M.
And
truely
it
is
my
ioy
and
comfort
to
vnderstand
it
;
for
the
farther
England
goes
from
Holland
,
I
am
sure
the
neerer
Spaine
comes
to
England
.
P.
H.
Nay
,
if
the
match
hold
,
Holland
can
expect
no
assistance
from
England
;
for
the
Pope
,
the
King
of
Spaine
,
Gondomar
,
the
Iesuits
,
and
English
Recusants
,
will
in
few
yeares
so
shuffle
&
deale
the
Cards
,
as
England
shall
not
be
able
to
assist
her selfe
,
much
lesse
her
Neighbours
.
E
6.
Why
that
is
the
way
,
in
a
few
more
yeares
,
to
make
England
a
Province
to
Spaine
.
Q
E.
Yea
,
yea
,
there
is
the
mysterie
;
for
if
the
Match
with
Spaine
hold
,
the
Conquest
of
England
will
vndoubtedly
follow
,
and
then
Gondomar
can
be
no
lesse
then
Vice-roy
,
or
great
Commander
of
England
,
for
the
King
and
Councell
of
Spaine
will
iudge
him
worthy
of
this
honour
,
because
he
hath
deserued
it
.
P.
H.
It
were
better
Spaine
were
hell
,
and
Gondomar
Vice-roy
to
the
Diuell
,
as
he
is
now
Ambassadour
to
the
Catholike
King
.
Q.
A.
But
is
it
possible
that
the
King
of
Spaine
hath
so
little
Iustice
and
Charitie
,
and
so
much
Vanitie
and
Ambition
to
desire
it
?
E.
6.
The
Kings
of
Spaine
make
this
the
tenth
Article
of
their
Creede
,
that
the
Rules
of
the
Empire
and
State
ought
to
giue
Lawes
,
but
not
to
receiue
any
.
Q.
E.
But
this
is
contrary
to
the
Lawes
of
the
KING
of
Kings
.
Q.
M.
But
in
the
Councell
of
Spaine
,
the
Rules
of
State
are
alwayes
too
sublime
and
powerfull
for
those
of
Religion
;
yea
,
the
Pope
will
easily
dispence
with
the
King
of
Spaine
,
to
make
a
Conquest
of
England
,
either
by
trechery
,
hostilitie
,
or
the
match
:
for
it
is
against
an
heretike
King
and
People
,
who
refuse
to
enter
into
the
bosome
of
the
Church
,
&
therefore
lawfull
in
it selfe
;
because
it
tends
to
the
Catholike
cause
,
the
displanting
and
rooting
out
of
Heretikes
,
and
the
establishing
&
preservation
of
the
Romane
Catholikes
in
England
.
Q.
E.
Those
giddie
and
passionate
Romane
Catholikes
of
England
,
who
desire
to
fish
in
troubled
waters
,
who
delight
in
nothing
but
in
innovation
and
noueltie
,
and
who
make
a
May-game
of
Conscience
,
and
an
Ape
of
Religion
,
may
peraduenture
flatter
themselues
with
the
false
sunne-shine
of
these
hopes
;
but
those
of
them
whose
hearts
are
better
lodged
,
and
whose
eyes
and
iudgements
can
see
farther
and
clearer
,
Those
I
say
,
who
know
by
the
Lawes
of
Grace
and
Nature
,
what
they
owe
to
GOD
,
to
their
lawfull
Prince
,
and
Countrie
;
those
remember
,
that
the
Duke
of
Medina
Sydonia
sayd
in
eightie
eight
(
who
was
then
Generall
of
the
Spanish
Fleete
)
that
his
Commission
was
not
to
distinguish
of
Religion
;
but
to
make
a
passage
with
his
Sword
,
ore
both
Religions
without
exception
,
that
thereby
the
King
his
Master
might
haue
the
easier
way
,
and
fairer
passage
to
the
Crowne
and
Kingdome
of
England
:
Therefore
we
neede
no
perspectiue
Glasse
,
or
Spectacles
to
see
,
that
it
is
not
the
establishing
of
the
Romane
Religion
,
but
of
himselfe
in
England
,
whereat
the
King
of
Spaine
still
aymes
.
Q.
M.
But
Count
Gondomar
is
wise
enough
to
provide
a
Playster
for
that
sore
,
for
he
in
netling
the
Nobler
sort
of
Catholikes
with
the
Match
,
hath
in
plaine
tearmes
given
the
lye
to
the
Duke
of
Medina
his
speech
,
and
therefore
he
hopes
they
will
beleeue
him
.
P.
H.
The
nobler
and
more
passionate
and
factious
sort
of
them
may
beleeue
Gondomar
herein
,
but
the
wiser
,
temperate
,
and
conscious
will
not
;
and
yet
the
Feminine
Gender
,
are
Masculine
sticklers
and
solicitors
for
him
,
as
he
and
the
Iesuites
are
for
the
King
his
Master
.
Q.
E.
Nay
,
the
Romane
Catholikes
of
England
haue
reason
to
beleeue
Gondomar
;
sith
King
Iames
loues
him
so
well
,
as
he
esteemes
his
speeches
Oracles
and
Scripture
;
and
who
with
the
quintessence
of
his
Castillian
,
or
rather
Galician
braine
,
hath
now
brought
matters
to
this
passe
,
that
no
cinsere
advise
,
honest
Letter
,
Religious
Sermon
,
or
true
picture
can
point
at
the
King
of
Spaine
,
but
they
are
called
in
;
and
their
Authors
imprisoned
(
in
stead
of
rewarded
)
though
never
so
honest
and
loyall
Subiects
.
H.
8.
But
me
thinkes
that
this
is
no
subtill
policie
of
Gondomar
;
for
the
more
he
striues
to
suppresse
the
truth
,
the
more
it
will
flourish
and
prevaile
;
For
(
for
the
good
of
England
)
if
one
penne
,
or
tongue
be
commanded
to
silence
▪
they
will
occasion
and
set
tenne
at
libertie
to
write
and
speake
;
as
Grasse
or
Cammomell
,
which
the
more
it
is
depressed
,
the
thicker
it
will
spread
and
growe
.
Q.
M.
But
hath
not
Gondomar
reason
to
strike
whiles
he
findes
the
Iron
hot
,
and
to
take
the
benefit
of
the
floud
,
before
the
ebbe
come
or
the
tyde
be
spent
.
Q.
A.
Indeed
they
say
,
he
reports
that
this
Summer
time
,
the
ayre
of
London
and
Islington
is
not
sweete
enough
,
either
for
his
Fistula
,
or
perfumed
braine
,
and
that
he
hath
therefore
gotten
leaue
of
his
Maiestie
,
to
lodge
in
a
part
of
his
Pallace
of
Greenwich
,
which
standes
in
so
pure
an
ayre
,
vpon
the
pleasant
Christall
Riuer
of
Thames
.
Q.
E.
That
were
a
presumptuous
part
of
Gondomar
indeed
,
to
aspire
to
lodge
in
that
pleasant
,
and
Royall
Pallace
of
Greenwich
.
Q
M.
But
if
it
be
so
,
I
thinke
it
is
not
to
lodge
there
himselfe
,
but
onely
to
square
out
the
Infanta's
Lodgings
,
her
Chamber
of
Presence
,
and
a
Plot
to
build
her
Grace
a
Chappell
against
shee
come
,
whereof
Iones
Sir
Innigo
hath
alreadie
the
Modell
in
his
braines
.
P.
H.
If
King
IAMES
my
Father
lodge
Gondomar
this
Summer
in
Greenwich
,
the
next
,
King
Philip
himselfe
will
hope
to
lye
in
White-Hall
.
E.
6.
Nay
soft
,
first
let
his
Daughter
the
Infanta
come
,
for
she
must
breake
the
Ice
,
ere
his
Catholike
Maiestie
will
dare
aduenture
to
come
passe
the
Seas
hither
.
Q.
M.
Aduenture
to
come
?
Why
wherefore
els
,
saith
Count
Gondomar
,
lyes
King
IAMES
his
Fleete
at
Alicant
,
and
Cartagena
,
but
to
transport
her
for
England
this
Summer
?
Q.
E.
Vntill
I
am
inforced
to
vnderstand
,
that
that
Fleete
is
at
Lisbone
the
Groyne
,
or
Saint
Andera
,
I
will
not
beleeue
it
,
but
then
I
will
feare
it
.
Q.
M.
So
the
Heretike
Protestants
of
France
,
feared
their
Spanish
matches
,
and
yet
we
see
they
prosper
.
Q.
A.
It
is
the
end
which
crownes
the
beginning
,
not
the
beginning
the
end
of
a
worke
.
Q.
E.
What
speake
you
Sister
of
the
French
matches
with
Spaine
,
to
this
of
England
and
Spaine
?
for
all
the
world
knowes
,
that
the
Estates
of
England
and
France
,
are
Diametrically
opposite
in
point
of
Religion
;
for
France
hath
fortie
Papists
for
one
Protestant
,
and
England
fortie
Protestants
for
one
Papist
.
Q.
M.
But
those
Protesting
Heretikes
of
England
,
will
sing
another
tune
,
when
they
see
the
King
of
Spaine
hath
made
their
Countrey
his
Prouince
.
P.
H.
Heauen
forbid
,
that
euer
England
should
sing
the
tune
of
Spaines
Ballad
,
or
Spaine
liue
so
long
to
make
England
see
that
dismall
and
bloudie
day
.
Q
▪
E.
It
were
farre
better
,
that
Prince
Charles
were
married
to
an
English
Milke-maid
,
and
the
Infanta
of
Spaine
mew'd
vp
for
a
Nunne
in
a
Cloyster
.
Q.
A.
Yea
,
for
how
can
my
Sonne
Prince
Charles
thinke
the
King
of
Spaine
loues
him
,
when
he
sees
that
vnder-hand
,
he
is
a
mortall
and
professed
Enemy
to
his
Brother
and
Sister
,
the
King
and
Queene
of
Bohemia
.
Q.
M.
You
mistake
Madame
;
for
it
is
the
Emperour
Ferdinand
,
and
not
King
Philip
that
is
their
mortall
Enemy
.
P.
H.
If
Philip
had
not
(
vnder-hand
)
powerfully
assisted
Ferdinand
,
His
Imperiall
Maiestie
,
had
neither
had
legges
to
goe
,
nor
wings
to
flie
into
Prague
,
and
yet
the
King
my
Father
will
not
assist
his
Sonne
in
Law
,
King
Fredericke
.
Q.
A.
Yes
,
to
recouer
the
Palatinate
,
if
that
were
lost
;
But
Gondomar
through
his
slye
Crooches
,
and
sugred
insinuations
,
hath
extorted
a
hope
,
and
some
say
,
wrested
a
Promise
from
King
IAMES
not
to
assist
Bohemia
,
but
I
hope
the
contrary
.
Q.E.
But
will
Spinola
restore
those
townes
he
hath
taken
in
the
Pallatinate
.
Q.M.
Gondomar
promiseth
that
Digby
,
shall
bring
that
home
vnder
his
hand
and
seale
,
onely
hee
saies
,
t
is
fit
that
Spinola
should
be
satisfied
of
his
charges
.
Q.
E.
That
s
an
old
baffle
and
tricke
of
Spaine
,
which
vpon
the
matter
,
will
proue
but
a
flat
denyall
.
Therefore
if
King
Iames
please
to
hearken
to
my
advise
,
I
would
send
an
Army
thither
and
refetch
these
Townes
of
the
Pallatinate
from
Ferdinand
,
Phillip
,
Al●e●tus
,
and
Bavaria
,
with
the
point
of
the
sword
,
in
despight
of
Spinola
,
Tilly
,
and
Cordova
.
P.
H.
If
I
were
againe
living
in
England
,
I
would
so
worke
with
the
King
my
Father
,
that
this
resolution
of
Queene
Elizabeth
,
should
never
dye
,
but
speedily
bee
put
in
execution
;
for
it
is
the
safest
,
cheapest
,
shortest
,
and
Honourablest
way
for
England
;
yea
,
what
would
not
England
doe
for
my
deere
and
Royall
Sister
of
Bohemia
,
if
the
King
my
Father
,
would
but
giue
it
the
word
of
command
?
Q.
M.
But
content
your selfe
Nephew
,
Count
Gondomar
hath
promised
that
his
Master
King
Phillip
will
giue
King
Iames
content
for
the
Townes
of
the
Pallatinate
.
Q.
A.
So
Gondomar
promised
his
Maiestie
,
that
Spinola
should
never
attempt
the
Pallatinate
,
and
yet
wee
see
the
contrary
,
and
being
false
in
this
,
how
,
or
what
reason
haue
wee
to
beleeue
him
to
bee
true
in
the
match
.
Q.
M.
England
must
beleeue
him
,
sith
their
King
doth
,
and
wil.
And
herein
,
I
both
triumph
and
glory
P.
H.
Thus
my
Royall
Father
intreats
,
where
he
should
command
,
and
loues
paine
,
where
he
hath
farre
more
reason
to
hate
it
.
Q.
E.
And
this
is
my
truest
griefe
and
deepest
affliction
,
that
King
Iames
will
●●●ll
delight
in
contemplation
,
when
(
if
his
Maiesty
will
not
)
all
the
world
sees
,
that
King
Phillip
is
(
vnder-hand
)
deepe
in
action
H.
8.
It
may
be
King
Iames
thinkes
King
Phillip
to
be
of
Hannybals
minde
,
who
more
feared
Fabius
not
fighting
,
then
Marcellus
fighting
,
or
of
Pompey
,
or
Marcus
Crassus
their
opinion
;
who
were
more
affraide
of
Cicero's
gowne
,
then
of
Caesars
sword
.
Q.
M.
No
thing
lesse
;
for
King
Phillip
,
loues
King
Iames
his
Gowne
&
Pen
,
yet
no
way
feares
his
sword
.
Q.
E.
But
if
King
Iames
inherited
my
resolution
as
he
doth
my
Kingdomes
,
I
would
make
Spaine
feare
his
sword
,
and
Rome
either
loue
or
obey
his
Pen
,
and
neuer
consent
to
a
Peace
,
much
lesse
to
the
match
.
Q.
M.
But
why
should
King
Phillip
feare
King
Iames
his
sword
,
sith
hee
never
yet
knew
the
way
to
draw
it
:
or
why
should
his
Catholike
Maiestie
feare
the
Councell
of
England
,
sith
it
is
apparant
to
all
the
World
,
that
the
element
and
delight
of
their
King
,
is
bookes
,
not
battailes
,
the
pen
not
the
Pike
.
H.
8.
Why
?
Know
you
not
Daughter
,
that
King
IAMES
hath
lately
established
a
Councell
of
Warre
,
and
wherevnto
thinke
you
tends
that
.
Q.
M.
To
Peace
I
hope
,
or
rather
,
assure
my selfe
.
Q.
E.
Then
Sister
,
yee
are
of
neere
intelligence
with
Gondomar
;
for
not
long
since
in
one
of
his
dispatches
to
Spaine
,
hee
wrote
the
LL.
of
that
Councell
,
that
they
should
not
doubt
or
feare
of
the
Councell
of
Warre
of
England
;
for
it
was
(
said
he
)
but
a
scarre-Crowe
to
feare
,
not
to
hurt
,
and
would
onely
serue
as
a
Vane
on
a
house
top
,
rather
for
ornament
then
vse
.
But
if
King
Iames
were
of
my
minde
,
his
Councell
of
Warre
should
strike
rather
then
threaten
;
and
send
a
Royall
Armie
into
the
bowels
and
heart
of
Castille
,
ere
they
thought
it
could
be
readie
to
depart
from
the
Ports
of
England
.
Q.
M.
Not
into
Castille
;
for
then
the
Peace
were
quite
broken
betwixt
ENGLAND
and
SPAINE
.
P.
H.
Why
then
into
Bohemia
,
the
Palatinate
;
The
Netherlands
;
or
the
States
of
Venice
,
or
wheresoever
the
Castillian
Regiments
disturbe
the
publike
Peace
of
Christendome
.
E.
6.
I
see
no
reason
to
the
contrary
,
but
England
should
be
as
soone
in
Armes
and
Action
as
Spaine
.
Q.
E.
But
it
is
the
inchanting
melody
of
the
Match
,
that
brings
England
out
of
tune
.
Q
M.
But
in
this
Proposition
and
Parlee
of
the
Match
,
the
King
and
Councell
of
Spaine
,
speake
faire
termes
,
and
giue
reall
not
verball
content
to
King
Iames.
Q.
E.
So
,
did
Phillip
your
Husband
,
and
his
Father
by
his
Embassadors
to
mine
at
Bourbourg
,
thereby
to
lull
me
asleepe
when
his
great
Armado
was
in
a
manner
ready
to
weigh
Anchor
,
and
set
Sayle
from
Lisbone
to
inuade
me
and
my
England
.
Q.
M.
But
King
Iames
knowes
Spaines
affection
and
Gondomars
sincerity
to
him
,
and
consequently
to
England
in
seeking
this
Match
.
Q.
A.
But
England
knowes
neither
the
affection
of
the
Master
,
or
the
sinceritie
of
the
Seruant
,
and
therefore
hath
reason
,
though
not
to
feare
,
yet
to
suspect
both
.
H.
8.
It
rather
thinkes
King
Phillip
of
Pericles
his
opinion
and
Ambition
,
who
desired
that
the
Iland
in
the
Port
of
Piree
mought
bee
removed
,
sith
it
was
a
moate
and
beame
in
his
eye
.
P.
H.
The
Morall
is
,
that
Phillip
would
haue
England
a
Prouince
to
Spaine
;
but
if
the
Match
hold
not
:
Spaines
Ambition
,
Gondomares
pollicie
,
and
both
their
trechery
will
proue
too
weake
to
performe
so
strong
an
execution
.
Q.
M.
Then
the
King
of
Spaine
will
hate
Gondomare
,
as
much
as
he
vaunts
the
King
of
England
loues
him
.
But
I
trust
Count
Gondomare
hath
liued
too
long
to
dote
,
or
be
made
a
Child
in
his
old
age
.
P.
H.
No
,
no
,
Gondomare
is
too
young
to
dote
,
and
too
old
to
be
a
child
,
therefore
he
is
Confident
and
sure
that
the
Match
will
hold
;
but
withall
,
he
saith
the
Parliament
must
be
ended
,
ere
these
royall
Nuptiall
Ceremonies
can
begin
,
and
so
I
thinke
to
.
E.
6.
Indeede
this
Castillian
Embassadour
now
sailes
before
winde
and
tyde
,
vnder
fore-sayle
,
and
maine-top-sayle
,
but
very
shortly
hee
hopes
to
hoyst
vp
top
and
top-gallant
.
P.H.
he
may
chance
to
packe
on
so
much
sayle
,
that
hee
may
at
last
cracke
the
maine
Mast
of
his
Policie
,
or
the
maine
stay
of
his
hopes
,
or
bee
so
busie
and
violent
in
the
solicitation
of
this
Match
,
as
hee
himselfe
may
giue
himselfe
a
Shot
,
which
may
sinke
either
his
reputation
,
or
iudgement
,
or
both
,
betwixt
winde
and
water
.
Q.
E.
Intruth
I
found
his
Predicessor
Mendoza
too
busie
and
dangerous
in
my
State
,
and
therefore
I
forbad
him
my
presence
,
and
discharged
him
my
Kingdome
,
whereat
I
know
not
whether
he
,
or
the
King
his
Master
,
more
grieued
,
or
my
Councell
and
my
Countrey
reioyced
.
Q.
A.
Gondomare
hath
had
time
enough
to
know
my
Husband
King
Iames
,
but
it
seemes
King
Iames
hath
not
yet
enough
deepely
pryed
into
Gondamare
.
In
a
word
I
know
his
Maiesty
hath
heard
his
tongue
,
but
not
seene
his
heart
,
much
lesse
the
designes
and
resolutions
of
the
King
and
Councell
of
Spaine
,
which
are
inuelloped
and
hood-winked
vnder
the
Mysterie
of
this
Match
.
H.
8.
Indeede
I
haue
read
that
Philip
K.
of
Macedon
went
neere
to
haue
betraid
Arisba
,
K.
of
Molosses
of
his
kingdome
,
vnder
treating
a
Match
with
him
.
Q.
M.
O
but
that
Philip
of
Macedon
was
a
Heathen
King
,
and
this
Philip
of
Spaine
is
the
Catholike
King
,
therefore
King
Iames
need
not
feare
his
sinceritie
in
the
Match
.
Q.
E.
Sith
you
are
so
Religious
Sister
,
pray
say
,
how
doth
the
Inquisition
of
Spaine
like
to
match
their
Infanta
to
an
Hereticke
Prince
,
for
so
I
know
they
terme
my
Noble
Nephew
Prince
Charles
?
P.
H.
Why
?
Digbye
could
haue
resolved
you
of
that
long
since
,
for
he
knowes
that
the
sacred
and
reverend
Inquisition
of
Spaine
loues
England
,
but
not
the
Match
,
our
Country
,
but
not
our
Religion
and
People
;
and
yet
in
hope
to
root
out
Heretickes
,
and
to
plant
England
with
Romane
Catholiques
,
they
oppose
not
the
Match
,
but
rather
giue
way
to
it
,
and
approue
it
.
Q.
E.
But
can
Royall
King
Iames
,
and
his
Illustrious
Sonne
Prince
Charles
obserue
their
Religion
and
Conscience
,
in
consenting
to
this
Match
,
or
haue
the
Clergie
of
England
warrant
enough
Authenticall
,
out
of
the
Word
of
God
to
say
Amen
to
it
?
Q
A.
O
no
,
for
King
Iames
(
though
not
the
Prince
and
Clergie
)
will
now
make
Religion
and
Conscience
Hand-maides
to
wait
and
attend
on
the
State
.
E.
6.
But
his
Maiestie
should
doe
farre
better
to
defend
the
Faith
(
whereof
hee
is
the
Defender
)
and
therein
the
State
,
which
professeth
the
true
and
sincere
Religion
of
Christ
and
his
Apostles
,
sith
Pietie
is
the
preserver
of
Kingdomes
,
and
all
our
actions
whatsoeuer
should
tend
to
the
glory
of
God
,
which
is
the
banishing
of
Idolatry
and
Superstition
,
with
their
effects
and
Causes
.
Q.
M.
Why
pray
,
what
Marriage
so
religious
as
for
Prince
Charles
to
match
with
the
Catholique
King
his
Daughter
.
Q
E.
Sister
you
haue
still
Religion
in
your
tongue
,
but
I
feare
wee
shall
finde
none
in
your
heart
,
for
pray
what
places
haue
you
of
divine
Scripture
,
to
authorize
and
approue
this
Match
of
Prince
Charles
with
the
Infanta
,
sith
they
are
of
a
different
Religion
and
Beliefe
.
Q.
M.
As
I
confesse
I
haue
none
to
approue
it
,
so
I
am
sure
you
all
cannot
alledge
any
one
to
oppose
and
contradict
it

Q.
M.
Well
,
whatsoever
you
say
,
this
Match
(
notwithstanding
)
tends
to
Gods
glory
,
and
the
good
of
the
Catholique
and
Apostolique
Church
,
and
in
the
end
you
shall
finde
,
that
Gondomars
policie
and
Spaines
Ambition
will
triumph
ore
your
Scripture
.
Q.
E.
This
Match
tends
onely
to
bring
in
the
Pope
into
our
Churches
,
and
the
King
of
Spaine
into
our
Estate
;
for
that
is
the
ayme
of
the
first
,
the
Ambition
of
the
second
,
and
the
obiect
and
hopes
of
both
,
and
I
feare
a
few
yeares
will
prooue
it
so
;
if
in
time
it
be
not
remedied
and
prevented
:
which
God
of
his
mercie
grant
,
for
't
is
true
all
the
wheeles
of
Gondomars
Art
and
Invention
,
are
at
worke
to
effect
and
accomplish
it
.
Q.
M.
The
Pope
I
must
confesse
(
as
Christs
Vicar
Generall
on
earth
)
desires
that
England
were
Catholique
,
but
for
the
good
King
of
Spaine
,
he
hath
Kingdomes
enough
of
his
owne
,
and
therefore
lookes
not
after
England
,
onely
he
desires
to
see
the
Match
consummated
.
P.
H.
Yes
,
the
King
of
Spaines
tongue
hath
so
long
watred
,
and
his
mouth
gaped
for
England
,
that
after
Spaine
,
he
wisheth
England
were
his
aboue
all
the
Countries
of
the
World
,
and
his
Catholique
Maiestie
is
very
confident
,
that
this
Match
will
giue
a
mayne
stroke
to
the
busines
.
Q.
E.
If
he
once
haue
England
;
he
will
presently
assume
the
Title
of
Emperour
of
the
West
,
as
King
Philip
his
Father
was
resolved
to
doe
a
little
before
his
death
;
yea
his
Ambition
was
so
violent
,
as
he
missing
of
England
,
would
haue
proclaimed
himselfe
Emperour
of
Spaine
;
and
had
not
his
Councell
diverted
and
prevented
him
,
he
would
haue
sayled
to
Mexico
,
and
there
invested
and
intituled
himselfe
Emperour
of
America
:
P.
H.
And
I
haue
heard
that
Gondomar
hath
given
the
King
of
Spaine
his
Master
good
hope
of
England
;
for
't
is
certaine
that
hee
not
long
since
wrote
to
the
Dukes
of
Lerma
and
Pastranna
,
that
the
report
of
the
strength
of
England
resembled
those
huge
Pageants
and
Colosses
erected
at
Rome
,
as
the
Caesars
past
from
the
Melvine
bridge
to
the
Capitoll
in
Triumph
,
who
were
outwardly
glorious
,
but
within
fill'd
onely
with
straw
and
poore
combustible
stuffe
.
E.
6.
Indeed
,
it
is
the
shame
&
weaknes
of
England
,
that
Spaine
is
no
better
acquainted
with
its
strength
.
Q.
A.
And
t
is
my
griefe
that
Spaine
should
see
Englands
weaknesse
,
and
not
feele
its
strength
.
Q.
E.
O
but
it
is
the
Spanish
Match
which
will
giue
fire
to
England
,
and
make
her
welter
in
her
miseries
,
and
flame
in
her
calamities
and
afflictions
.
Q.
M.
No
,
no
,
that
Match
will
keepe
the
Temple
of
Englands
Peace
from
firing
.
H.
8.
Yea
,
as
Erostratus
did
that
of
Diana
of
Ephesus
,
which
in
one
day
consumed
all
the
wealth
that
rich
Asia
had
beene
many
yeares
and
ages
getting
.
Q.
A.
As
Religion
is
the
powerfullest
passion
of
our
Soule
,
so
there
is
no
stronger
lincke
of
Friendship
then
Conscience
,
and
therfore
I
hope
my
sonne
Charles
will
not
consent
to
match
with
the
Infanta
of
Spaine
.
Q.
M.
But
one
of
his
chiefest
Vertues
is
his
obedience
to
the
King
his
Father
;
for
although
the
Prince
be
his
Sonne
,
yet
he
knowes
he
is
his
Subiect
.
Q.
A.
All
the
world
cannot
better
teach
the
Prince
my
Sonne
to
obey
the
King
his
Father
,
then
already
he
knowes
and
doth
;
but
I
could
wish
that
King
Iames
my
Husband
would
not
inforce
his
affection
to
this
Spanish
Match
.
Q.
E.
If
he
marry
the
Infanta
,
shee
may
proue
a
false
and
vnsecret
Secretary
to
the
Prince
her
Husband
,
and
a
dangerous
Princesse
to
the
State
:
for
he
giuing
her
his
heart
,
his
Highnesse
can
hardly
reserue
any
corner
thereof
for
himselfe
.
P.
H.
Yea
then
every
Spanish
Traytor
and
English
Rebell
will
shroud
themselues
vnder
the
authority
and
greatnesse
of
the
Princesse
.
E.
6.
So
if
England
match
with
Spaine
,
Spaine
vndoubtedly
will
in
a
short
time
ouer-match
England
.
Q.
A.
And
infallibly
take
the
Crowne
from
it
.
Q.
M.
Borrow
it
peradventure
,
to
see
it
,
not
to
weare
it
.
P.
H.
I
feare
to
weare
it
,
neuer
to
returne
it
.
H.
8.
Yea
for
once
gone
,
it
is
gone
for
euer
.
Q.
E.
And
then
shall
Englands
strong
men
fall
vpon
the
edge
of
the
Sword
;
her
Virgins
bee
defloured
and
murthered
,
her
Wiues
defiled
and
slaine
in
sight
of
their
dying
Husbands
;
and
their
Children
&
young
Babes
shall
haue
their
braines
dashed
against
the
wals
in
sight
of
their
dead
Parents
.
P.
H.
Yea
then
shall
our
Nobility
and
Gentry
,
dye
vpon
the
swords
of
those
Barbarous
Castillians
,
and
those
who
escape
and
suruiue
their
fury
,
shall
bee
fettered
and
led
Captiues
and
slaues
to
worke
in
the
Mines
of
Peru
and
Mexico
.
E.
6.
Then
shall
our
Priestes
who
are
now
cloathed
in
the
white
robes
of
Righteousnesse
,
bee
drowned
in
those
of
their
owne
scarlet
blood
:
No
Church
,
no
Temple
,
no
Preaching
,
no
Sacraments
,
but
all
couered
with

Daughter
Mary
,
wee
are
fiue
against
you
one
,
therefore
the
Match
of
England
and
Spaine
,
hath
end
ere
beginning
,
and
is
absolutely
cast
without
reuocation
.
And
now
let
vs
bre●ke
vp
our
Consultation
,
and
againe
repayre
to
the
Throne
of
the
Lambe
,
(
of
our
sacred
God
both
of
Heaven
and
Earth
)
to
acquaint
his
Diuine
Maiestie
with
all
the
particulars
thereof
,
and
therein
to
receiue
his
Heauenly
pleasure
and
Commaund
;
When
the
Angell
opening
Heauens
Starre-chamber
,
a
great
concourse
and
afluence
of
Saints
and
Angels
(
singing
most
Diuinely
)
conduct
them
to
the
Blessed
Tribunall
,
where
the
whole
newes
of
their
Consultation
,
being
already
arriued
to
the
vnderstanding
of
the
Almightie
;
It
pleased
his
Diuine
and
Coelestiall
Maiestie
,
to
call
foorth
Queene
Mary
whom
he
sharpely
reproues
&
checks
,
in
loving
Spaine
,
to
be
so
vnnaturall
to
hate
her
natiue
Countrey
of
England
.
Then
he
infinitly
Disproues
the
Match
of
Prince
Charles
,
with
the
Infanta
of
Spaine
;
as
derogating
from
his
Diuine
Glory
,
and
Englands
safetie
and
prosperitie
;
and
so
to
Conclude
very
joyfully
&
cheerefully
approues
of
their
Consultation
;
which
for
the
more
grace
and
authoritie
he
makes
and
reputes
as
his
owne
.
When
Commanding
these
three
Princes
,
&
two
Queenes
(
for
Queene
Mary
was
now
put
by
and
excluded
)
to
send

England
(
by
its
owne
Tutulary
Angell

Charles
,
his
Sonne
;
the

to
the
High
Court
of
Parliament
;
and
the
fourth
,
to
the
Lords
of
his
Majesties
most
Honourable
Priuy
Counsel
▪
the
which
in
his
Sacred
presence
was
speedily
performed
and
effected
;
When
a
great
shout
of
Ioy
,
and
an
Vniuersall
plauditie
being
hereunto
giuen
by
all
the
Angels
,
and
Host
of
Heaven
;
These
fiue
Royall
Personages
againe
followed
the
Lambe
CHRIST
IESVS
where
he
went
.
This
Consultation
thus
ended
,
Queene
Mary
biting
the
lippe
at
her
checke
and
Disgrace
;
and
grieuing
to
see
the
Match
of
the
Infanta
with
Prince
Charles
thus
vnexpected
dash'd
;
and
consequently
the
Pope
frustrated
of
his
hopes
,
and
the
King
of
Spaine
of
his
Ambitious
desires
,
Shee
cals
Mercury

,
and
withall
possible
speed
sends
