For
the
first
,
which
is
,
Leaving
off
all
treaty
.
BEcause
the
English
in
all
Treaties
taken
in
hand
with
the
Spaniard
and
the
house
of
Austria
,
and
continued
so
many
yeares
with
such
labour
and
charges
,
hath
not
only
bin
vnfortunate
,
but
also
scornfully
abused
by
the
Spaniard
,
who
is
exceedingly
disagreeing
from
the
honest
mind
and
meaning
of
the
English
.
For
so
many
yeares
while
things
stood
stronger
on
the
side
of
the
English
,
nothing
hath
been
effected
by
treatie
:
and
who
can
presume
that
any
thing
will
be
effected
now
,
when
things
are
brought
into
far
worse
case
?
The
King
by
seuen
diuers
Treaties
and
Ambassages
hath
effected
iust
nothing
in
this
cause
,
which
concernes
the
peace
of
Germany
and
the
whole
estate
of
his
Sonne
in
law
.

and

?
2.
The
honor
of
the
King
and
kingdome
requires
,
that
this
tye
of
Treaties
which
they
haue
been
entangled
in
all
this
while
,
should
now
be
broken
off
.
For
if
they
should
continue
that
course
which
hath
brought
no
benefit
to
either
themselues
or
to
others
,
or
to
the
common
cause
,
who
can
excuse
them
?
Besides
,
they
should
expose
themselues
to
contempt
and
scorne
,
by
stumbling
so
often
vnpardonably
at
the
same
stone
;
with
their
friends
and
subiects
they
should
bring
themselues
into
suspition
and
hate
,
by
continuing
a
thing
so
dangerous
;
&
to
strangers
they
shold
not
onely
increase
the
ill
opinion
which
the
world
hath
conceiued
of
their
secure
cariage
,
but
also
they
should
giue
all
men
good
cause
to
forsake
them
hereafter
,
if
they
should
chance
to
haue
need
of
them
3.
By
Treaties
the
English
haue
not
onely
got
and
gained
nothing
;
but
farther
,
all
the
businesses
of
themselues
and
their
friends
haue
euer
gone
backward
to
the
worse
:
the
Spaniards
going
forward
alwaies
with
a
high
looke
and
a
brazen
face
,
and
wisely
making
vse
of
the
faire
forewind
of
fortune
,
turning
their
countenance
to
the
English
,
and
their
mind
to
their
owne
aduantage
.
4.
The
meaning
and
s●ope
of
the
Spaniard
is
directly
opposite
to
that
of
the
English
.
For
his
endeuour
is
by
Treaties
to
circumuent
,
to
gaine
time
,
to
vndoe
his
enemies
by
delayes
,
to
aduance
his
owne
profit
and
dominion
,
to
despise
peace
as
perni●ious
to
him
,
and
his
great
power
to
nourish
warre
,
especially
in
Germanie
,
where
by
the
dissention
of
the
Princes
diuersity
of
Religion
,
&
assistance
of
his
friends
,
he
may
be
sure
not
only
to
lose
nothing
,
but
to
gaine
,
&
to
fish
safely
in
troubled
waters
.
But
the
intention
of
the
English
is
honest
,
viz.
to
giue
peace
to
Europe
,
and
to
euery
one
his
owne
:
neither
doth
he
intend
to
get
benefit
to
himselfe
,
&
rule
ouer
others
.
And
how
can
these
contradictories
be
reconciled
by
Treaties
?
5.
The
very
adverse
part
doth
ill
interpret
and
take
these
treaties
of
the
King
,
as
if
thereby
he
intended
nothing
else
but
to
gain
time
,
and
to
waite
for
the
reuolution
of
fortune
,
or
the
occasion
of
change
,
with
a
minde
altogether
estranged
from
any
peaceable
composition
,
and
onely
pretending
an
intention
of
treating
;
as
the
Archbishop
of
Mentz
doth
in
expresse
words
write
of
the
King
to
the
Elector
of
Saxon.

The
letters
may
be
seene
.
Reasons
for
the
second
:
Of
vndertaking
warre
with
Spaine
.
The
faith
promised
mutually
to
one
another
,
which
they
haue
violated
,
the
breaking
of
the
couenants
confirmed
by
solemne
stipulation
,
the
iniuries
offered
,
the
deeds
and
Instruments
of
the
couenants
falsified
,
and
such
like
as
these
which
follow
:
all
or
any
one
of
these
are
esteemed
of
all
Nations
iust
cause
of
entring
into
warre
.
Now
then
must
we
declare
how
faith
hath
been
violated
,
and
the
solemne
conditions
of
the
League
haue
been
broken
by
them
.
The
last
yeare
a
surcease
of
Armes
for
15
moneths
was
propounded
of
the
Spaniard
,
accepted
of
the
English
,
and
vpon
certaine
Articles
vpon
both
parts
agreed
vpon
,
was
set
downe
in
instruments
,
signed
and
sealed
.
But
the
Spaniard
and
their
Complices
,
both
at
the
very
time
in
which
they
sealed
the
Articles
,
and
also
afterward
,
did
many
wayes
violate
and
pervert
them
,
both
by
leauing
out
what
was
agreed
vpon
,
&
inserting
what
was
not
couenanted
at
all
.
That
Instrument
of
truce
was
exhibited
and
communicated
in
the
Empire
in
the
moneth
of
March
,
many
weeks
before
it
was
either
concluded
or
signed
in
England
.
In
the
meeting
at
Iutterbock
,
to
the
end
that
the
warlike
preparations
of
the
Princes
of
Germanie
might
be
hindered
,
and
in
Hungarie
to
Gabor
that
he
should
not
stirre
,
it
was
exhibited
long
before
it
was
concluded
,
as
if
it
had
bin
fully
concluded
and
sealed
.
And
marke
their
cunning
and
false
practise
,
by
this
exhibition
of
it
,
and
a
false
perswasion
which
they
added
to
it
,
that
all
things
should
shortly
be
accommodated
,
were
the
Princes
of
the
Empire
so
moued
and
perswaded
,
that
they
compelled
the
Duke
of
Brunswick
to
lay
downe
armes
,
and
to
depart
out
of
the
bounds
of
Germanie
,
denying
him
all
prouision
and
passage
.
But
the
Instruments
of
the
Truce
were
not
subscribed
by
the
English
,
but
in
the
21
of
April
old
stile
,
or
the
first
of
May
new
stile
,
and
after
in
the
moneth
of
August
ratified
by
the
Elector
Palatine
.
Moreouer
in
those
instruments
and
deeds
giuen
abroad
there
to
Germanie
by
the
other
partie
,
these
words
in
the
third
Article
(
Declaring
them
enemies
of
the
Empire
and
of
our
Allies
)
were
left
out
,
as
words
that
might
giue
iust
cause
of
offence
to
the
Princes
of
the
Empire
,
when
they
should
see
such
a
hard
declaration
extorted
and
wrung
out
of
the
English
.
But
in
the
instruments
signed
in
England
,
those
words
were
expresly
set
downe
,
notwithstanding
the
exception
made
against
them
by
the
Kings
Sonne
in
law
.
2.
In
the
last
Article
in
their
deeds
,
it
was
left
out
,
That
the
King
of
England
should
send
his
Deputies
for
the
interest
of
his
Son
in
law
,
when
yet
in
that
consisted
the
very
hinge
and
controuersie
of
the
businesse
,
and
the
foundation
of
the
mind
and
will
of
the
King
of
England
,
as
it
is
expressed
in
the
English
instruments
.
There
is
also
a
falshood
to
be
noted
in
the
subscription
of
the
day
.
In
the
English
is
expressed
the
21
of
April
,
English
stile
;
in
theirs
the
first
of
May.
Moe
things
may
be
brought
to
shew
,
that
there
was
either
falshood
or
else
double
deeds
.
Furthermore
,
it
was
also
expresly
prouided
by
way
of
caution
,
That
all
things
should
abide
in
the
Palatinate
in
the
place
and
state
as
they
then
were
during
the
truce
:
that
all
acts
of
hostilitie
should
cease
:
that
neither
Allies
nor
friends
should
be
offended
,
but
that
both
parts
should
enioy
the
peace
of
the
League
.
But
Spaniards
and
their
Complices
did
&
doe
still
in
the
time
of
the
truce
exercise
all
kinds
of
hostilitie
,
by
confiscating
of
their
goods
who
haue
withdrawne
themselues
from
the
ruine
of
their
countrey
,
by
abolishing
religion
,
by
dismembring
&
transferring
vnto
others
the
better
parts
of
the
Palatinate
,
as
was
done
with
the
Lordship
called
the
Bergstras
,
with
the
Diocesses
of
Bleyensteine
and
Nevenhane
,
&
others
;
by
imposing
continuall
seruitudes
,
and
by
often
extorting
new
contributions
from
the
oppressed
;
by
drawing
out
the
bloud
and
soule
of
the
afflicted
,
and
by
wasting
and
wearing
out
all
the
poore
subiects
with
their
insolent
tyrannie
.
The
very
Spaniards
alone
haue
in
that
part
which
they
hold
in
the
Palatinate
imposed
an
exaction
of
aboue
thirty
thousand
Dollars
a
moneth
ouer
and
aboue
the
ordinary
impositions
.
Verdugo
in
his
proposition
when
he
imposed
this
exaction
,
was
not
afraid
to
affirm
,
that
it
was
done
with
the
knowledge
and
sufferance
of
the
King
of
England
,
&
that
he
did
to
moue
the
people
.
This
extorsion
hath
now
continued
diuers
moneths
,
and
is
yet
still
exercised
,
Lastly
the
Spaniards
and
their
complices
did
neuer
for
all
the
truce
lay
downe
armes
in
the
Empire
,
but
went
on
with
victorious
warre
against
the
friends
of
the
King
of
England
and
his
Sonne
in
law
:
yea
we
yet
see
them
to
proceed
on
still
scorning
&
breaking
this
league
of
the
truce
,
making
it
a
net
to
catch
their
enemies
in
.
2.
The
Spaniard
hath
by
force
and
armes
possest
himselfe
of
the
Patrimony
of
the
innocent
infants
the
grand
children
of
the
King
of
England
,
hath
cast
his
Daughter
and
Son
in
law
out
of
all
their
estates
and
dominions
,
and
doth
detaine
the
Palatinate
against
the
hope
he
hath
giuen
and
promise
which
hee
hath
so
oft
made
of
restoring
it
:
he
hath
besieged
the
Citie
of
Frankendale
the
Dowrie
of
his
Daughter
,
&
invaded
it
in
hostile
maner
;
neither
would
he
vouchsafe
to
raise
the
siege
at
the
most
earnest
entreaty
of
the
King
of
England
▪
he
compelled
the
forces
of
the
king
of
England
and
his
Generall
sent
thither
,
to
depart
out
of
the
Palatinate
,
scoffing
and
deriding
the
protection
of
England
,
by
which
hee
had
falsly
perswaded
him
that
the
Palatinate
should
be
safe
.
3.
Forsomuch
as
the
Spaniard
doth
oppresse
the
Allies
and
friends
ioyned
in
conferation
and
bloud
with
the
King
,
doth
cast
them
out
of
their
dominions
,
&
doth
pursue
them
with
hostility
euen
against
his
faith
giuen
;
there
is
no
other
course
left
to
help
them
but
by
armes
:
treaties
in
this
case
will
proue
vnprofitable
.
4.
The
safety
of
the
King
and
kingdome
requires
warre
.
For
it
behoues
vs
then
to
look
to
our selues
,
when
our
next
neighbours
houses
are
on
fire
.
Princes
lose
both
power
and
strength
when
their
Allies
do
perish
.
The
encrease
of
a
potent
neighbor
whose
friendship
is
vnsafe
,
as
it
cannot
be
without
iust
suspition
,
so
is
it
also
dangerous
and
hurtful
.
The
liberty
of
Germany
now
ready
to
perish
,
is
to
be
relieued
;
and
the
conseruation
of
it
doth
greatly
concerne
both
the
English
and
all
the
Princes
of
Europe
.
Germanie
is
the
heart
of
Europe
,
for
so
Nature
seems
to
haue
placed
it
;
the
Palatinate
is
the
motion
in
the
heart
,
according
to
the
lawes
.
If
Germaine
as
the
heart
be
possest
by
the
Spaniard
,
who
striues
to
get
the
dominion
ouer
all
Europe
,
the
rest
of
the
Princes
shall
not
long
draw
or
enioy
any
vitall
life
or
spirits
.
The
heart
therefore
must
be
succored
,
if
you
would
haue
the
rest
of
the
members
or
the
body
to
be
safe
.
But
by
these
weake
remedies
of
treaties
you
shal
do
no
good
:
stronger
things
are
to
be
applyed
,
the
disease
still
encreasing
.
5.
Necessitie
requires
warre
.
Great
preparations
for
warre
are
made
by
the
Spaniard
here
neare
at
hand
;
his
mind
and
intentions
are
well
enough
knowne
.
A
potent
Prince
makes
no
reckoning
of
friends
when
he
finds
opportunity
to
oppresse
them
.
The
English
are
now
brought
into
that
extremity
by
their
owne
foresaid
counsels
,
that
vnlesse
they
do
preuent
by
war
,
they
wil
shortly
be
preuented
.
The
Spaniard
knows
ful
wel
,
that
he
may
not
trust
them
any
longer
,
and
that
it
is
the
part
of
an
vnwise
man
to
stay
for
the
first
blow
,
which
is
commonly
the
Crisis
of
the
future
war
,
by
which
we
may
take
a
scantling
of
the
euent
of
it
,
which
is
vsually
ouercome
by
preuention
and
diuersion
,
according
to
the
saying
of
that
prudent
King
.
Politicians
say
,
that
he
which
consults
of
breaking
and
making
war
,
hath
already
broken
;
and
that
he
is
not
well
advised
or
wary
enough
,
who
neglects
to
preuent
his
enemy
.
The
Spaniard
who
is
naturally
distrustful
,
doth
without
question
construe
&
take
this
consultation
&
alteration
of
minds
in
England
for
a
breach
and
a
war
,
and
experience
will
shortly
shew
it
,
if
prudence
take
not
place
:
but
if
he
see
the
English
men
remisse
,
he
wil
say
that
they
want
not
strength
but
corage
,
and
that
it
is
base
feare
that
keeps
them
back
.
6.
The
King
of
England
in
the
yeare
1621.
the
12
of
Nouemb.
set
downe
the
conditions
of
peace
,
&
what
he
would
haue
to
be
obserued
and
kept
by
his
Son
in
law
,
and
sent
them
to
the
Emperor
for
his
finall
declaration
;
and
did
them
withal
protest
of
the
effusion
of
bloud
that
would
follow
,
&
of
the
warre
which
he
should
be
compelled
vnto
if
the
Emperour
wold
not
subscribe
vnto
those
conditions
.
But
the
Emperour
and
the
Spaniard
haue
not
only
deluded
the
conditions
,
but
went
boldly
on
with
war
against
the
innocent
infants
&
the
Kings
bloud
.
And
is
he
not
now
bound
in
honor
to
recouer
what
he
prescribed
by
war
which
he
threatned
and
denounced
,
that
the
conditions
were
not
performed
.
7.
Suspension
of
arms
was
promised
at
Vienna
to
the
Lord
Digby
,
who
brought
the
Emperors
lettets
with
him
to
Bruxels
concerning
that
businesse
:
yet
by
collusion
was
the
contrary
giuen
in
charge
to
the
Infanta
,
and
sent
thither
either
before
or
at
the
same
instant
insomuch
that
that
suspension
was
changed
into
a
most
cruell
war
;
which
was
executed
with
the
more
immanity
,
because
the
King
of
England
hath
vndertaken
the
protection
of
the
Palatinate
,
and
was
pleased
to
strengthen
and
defend
it
with
his
own
garrisons
.
And
1
when
the
Lord
Digby
had
in
the
Kings
name
long
and
exceedingly
solicited
,
but
in
vaine
,
the
raising
of
the
siege
at
Franckendale
;
this
answer
was
giuen
him
,
That
it
was
against
the
honor
of
the
Spaniards
to
leaue
a
citie
which
they
had
once
besieged
without
the
expresse
commandment
of
the
King
of
Spain
.

In
the
very
time
of
the
treaty
at
Bruxels
,
was
Hendelberg
taken
and
spoiled
.

If
he
could
not
then
obtain
by
treaties
and
entreaties
,
a
thing
vncertaine
and
subiect
to
chance
,
&
which
was
not
in
their
hands
,
but
only
in
hope
,
wil
restitution
of
those
things
which
they
are
possest
of
,
be
now
procured
by
those
former
means
?
The
Spaniards
as
they
will
doe
nothing
for
loue
,
so
will
they
also
refuse
nothing
when
they
are
compelled
by
feare
and
force
;
as
one
of
themselues
hath
confessed
.
8.
The
Proscription
which
is
the
head
of
the
euils
which
haue
followed
,
by
which
the
Kings
son
in
law
was
declared
infamous
,
&
al
his
grandchildren
pronounced
fallen
from
al
right
of
succession
,
was
most
earnestly
solicited
by
the
Archduke
Albert
,
and
was
consulted
of
in
the
Spanish
Ambassadours
house
.
And
is
there
not
then
iust
cause
that
the
Father
should
by
warre
vindicate
the
honour
of
his
Son
?
9.
The
restitution
of
the
Palatinate
cannot
be
procured
by
treaty
:
for
this
course
hath
bin
often
tried
and
vsed
,
euen
by
the
Prince
himselfe
,
but
euer
in
vain
.
Therefore
there
is
now
no
other
meane
to
be
vsed
,
saue
the
way
of
warre
.
10.
The
honour
of
the
King
and
kingdom
requires
,
that
now
these
wrongs
be
fought
to
be
righted
by
warre
,
the
last
arrow
in
necessities
quiuer
,
and
the
onely
meane
now
left
of
preseruing
reputation
.
He
doth
but
draw
on
new
iniuries
,
who
neglects
to
reuenge
the
old
,
especially
so
intollerable
as
haue
been
offered
to
the
English
.
But
if
now
,
after
they
haue
raised
so
good
opinion
&
hope
of
themselues
in
the
world
,
they
should
grow
faint
,
and
fall
backe
into
their
former
lethargie
,
they
should
lose
all
faith
and
reputation
.
I
cease
to
shew
how
magnanimious
Princes
are
more
bound
in
honour
to
recouer
the
estates
of
their
friends
which
they
haue
taken
into
their
protection
,
then
their
owne
goods
.
