SIR
WALTER
RAWLEIGHS
GHOST
.
ALthough
the
liberty
of
these
times
(
wherein
your
Currants
,
Gazettas
,
Pasquils
,
and
the
like
,
swarme
too
too
abundantly
)
hath
made
all
Newes
(
how
serious
or
substantiall
soeuer
)
lyable
to
the
iealous
imputation
of
falshood
,
yet
this
relation
I
assure
you
(
although
in
some
circumstances
it
may
leane
too
neare
the
florish
of
inuention
,
yet
for
the
pith
or
marrowe
thereof
,
it
is
as
iustly
allyed
and
knit
to
truth
,
as
the
light
is
to
the
day
,
or
night
to
darkenesse
.
To
hold
thee
then
(
Gentle
Reader
)
in
no
further
suspence
,
be
pleased
to
vnderstand
,
that
some
fewe
dayes
after
the
solemnitie
of
the
Purification
of
the
blessed
Virgin
(
according
to
the
Roman
and
Spanish
computation
)
It
pleased
the
Maiestie
of
Spaine
,
Philip
the
fourth
,
to
retire
himselfe
to
his
delicate
house
of
pleasure
,
called
Casa
del
Campo
,
situated
neare
vnto
the
towne
of
Madrid
or
Madrill
,
where
his
standing
Court
for
the
most
part
continually
remaineth
:
And
the
nearest
in
attendance
vnto
him
(
next
to
the
Cound
de
Oliuares
)
was
the
Cound
de
Gondomar
,
the
Archenemie
to
the
florishing
Estate
of
our
England
,
and
the
Foxe
whose
stench
hath
not
cured
the
Palsey
,
but
rather
impoisoned
&
brought
into
an
Apoplexie
many
Noble
and
some
times
well
deseruing
English
hearts
.
Neither
was
the
King
for
his
pleasure
retyred
to
this
house
of
Pleasure
,
but
rather
through
the
necessity
of
some
special
affaires
,
the
greatest
wherof
seemed
to
be
gathered
from
the
last
attempt
of
the
English
vpon
the
Fort
&
Castle
of
Punetall
&
the
town
of
Cadiz
or
Cales
,
wherin
though
the
losse
was
not
so
great
or
materiall
as
might
either
make
the
Assailant
or
Assailed
offer
Roses
,
or
Nettles
vpon
the
Altar
of
Fortune
;
yet
the
affront
seemed
to
strike
a
more
deepe
impression
in
the
hearts
of
the
Spaniards
,
then
could
be
well
taken
away
with
scorne
(
which
is
the
ensigne
of
their
pride
)
or
with
the
hope
of
future
aduantage
(
which
only
giues
life
vnto
their
Enuie
and
Malice
.
And
therfore
now
at
this
time
&
in
this
place
,
after
many
consultations
held
with
the
Earle
of
Gondomar
,
whom
the
whole
world
Baptized
the
Butteslaue
or
Incendiarie
of
Christendome
,
the
Intelligencer
,
Ambassadour
&
Iesuiticall
Archbishop
Leadger
(
as
his
practises
in
our
Nation
hath
well
witnessed
)
touching
some
notable
reuenge
to
be
had
against
the
State
of
Great
Britaine
,
being
the
onely
Iewell
on
which
Spaine
had
long
since
fixed
her
heart
,
to
make
her
vniuersall
Monarchie
euery
way
full
and
perfect
,
he
is
by
command
from
the
King
(
in
the
person
of
the
Cound
Oliuares
)
to
make
his
appearance
before
the
Popes
Nuntio
,
the
Duke
of
Lerma
,
the
Duke
of
Cea
,
the
Duke
of
Infantasgo
&
the
Constable
of
Castila
,
who
had
a
speciall
Commission
signed
for
that
purpose
,
&
to
deliuer
vnto
them
all
those
secret
aduantages
,
which
he
had
either
by
the
experience
of
time
,
the
continuall
labor
of
his
braine
,
the
corruption
of
his
bribes
,
the
threatnings
&
insinuations
of
his
Popish
Priests
,
the
petulent
flatteries
of
his
Papisticall
English
Mistrisses
dyuing
into
their
husbands
Counsels
,
or
by
any
other
direct
or
indirect
meanes
,
wonne
vnto
him selfe
a
knowledge
or
instruction
for
the
alteration
or
subuerssion
of
that
braue
&
florishing
British
Monarchie
.
And
in
this
charge
the
C.
de
Oliuares
according
to
the
state
and
magnificence
of
the
Spanish
reseruations
,
began
to
make
a
great
florish
of
many
demure
&
austere
circumstances
vnto
the
E.
of
Gondomar
,
concerning
the
greatnes
of
his
ingagement
,
the
high
Trust
reposed
in
his
singular
knowledge
,
&
the
infinit
expectations
the
King
and
the
whole
State
had
fixed
vpon
the
wisedom
of
his
proceeding
;
adding
thervnto
sundrie
admonishments
or
Caueats
to
call
into
his
remembrance
,
touching
many
alterations
in
the
State
of
Great
Britaine
,
some
defenciue
,
some
offenciue
since
his
last
aboad
or
comercement
in
the
same
;
And
amongst
the
rest
as
a
thing
of
most
especiall
note
,
the
Cound
began
to
repeate
many
relations
which
Gondomar
himselfe
had
deliuered
vnto
him
touching
the
generall
,
warlikenesse
of
the
British
Nation
,
affirming
that
he
had
heard
him
say
,
that
he
had
seene
the
very
children
and
boys
in
the
streete
,
make
their
sport
and
play
a
schoole
of
warre
,
and
by
imitation
from
elder
knowledges
to
expresse
in
childe
play
,
the
very
excellencie
and
perfection
of
Martiall
discipline
,
which
had
summoned
in
him
both
matter
of
passion
&
admiration
,
that
he
had
often
cryed
out
,
What
will
the
English
doe
,
euery
childe
will
be
an
Hercules
and
kill
a
Serpent
in
his
cradle
:
This
,
Oliuares
tould
him
was
but
a
small
shadow
or
little
pricke
to
expresse
a
much
greater
substance
now
in
vse
:
for
since
the
death
of
King
Iames
,
of
euer-liuing
and
famous
memorie
,
the
Englishmen
,
who
for
the
space
of
twenty
two
yeares
before
,
had
but
as
it
were
dallyed
and
plaid
with
Armes
,
rather
seeking
to
affect
it
for
nouelty
then
necessity
,
were
now
in
one
yeares
deliberate
and
materiall
exercise
,
become
so
singular
and
exquisite
,
that
the
Netherlands
blusht
to
see
themselues
ouergone
in
a
moment
,
&
that
to
be
made
familiar
in
an
instant
at
which
they
had
laboured
to
obtaine
to
in
diuers
ages
.
Besides
Oliuares
assured
him
that
he
had
receiued
infallible
intelligence
out
of
the
Archduches
Countries
,
that
a
hundred
&
odde
of
the
best
experienced
souldiers
or
firemen
(
being
all
English
)
were
sent
from
the
States
of
the
Vnited
prouinces
,
into
Great
Britaine
,
to
educate
and
instruct
in
Martiall
discipline
euery
seuerall
Country
and
Prouince
,
in
so
much
that
the
whole
Iland
was
nothing
now
but
a
Nurcery
of
excellent
and
exquisite
Souldiers
.
To
this
Gondomar
replyed
that
he
had
from
certaine
Iesuites
in
England
,
receiued
the
like
intelligence
,
and
with
this
addition
,
that
those
excellent
elected
men
in
the
Low-countries
found
their
equall
Schoole-followes
,
nay
many
Tutors
and
experienced
Masters
when
they
came
into
England
,
so
that
indeed
their
necessitie
did
but
conuerte
to
superfluity
and
a
little
losse
,
to
some
that
were
of
much
better
deseruing
.
Yet
said
Gondomar
further
,
for
mine
owne
part
though
this
make
much
for
our
terror
&
amazement
;
and
that
we
must
with
Curtius
leape
wilfully
into
a
Gulphe
of
certaine
ruine
ere
we
can
hope
of
reuenge
or
triumphe
,
yet
doth
this
new
Militarie
course
little
moue
my
blood
;
for
though
I
must
confesse
the
Nether-lands
to
be
the
onely
vnparaleld
Schoole
of
warre
in
the
whole
world
,
yet
the
onely
thing
it
teacheth
is
Forme
and
Fire
,
Intrenchment
and
Besiegement
;
but
for
the
vse
of
the
Sword
,
push
of
the
Pike
,
bringing
of
Grosses
bodie
to
bodie
and
hand
to
hand
,
the
exercise
of
euery
priuate
strength
,
and
the
fortune
of
Battles
;
Things
which
the
English
must
of
necessitie
be
exposed
vnto
,
Hoc
raro
aut
nunquam
;
And
therefore
(
my
Lord
)
I
tell
you
,
I
more
quake
when
I
see
an
old
Irish
Commander
drilling
an
English
Company
,
who
neuer
beheld
an
enemie
but
he
felt
his
Sword
and
knew
his
Target
,
then
when
I
see
infinits
of
golden
fellows
,
teaching
men
onely
dance
to
the
tune
of
Posture
,
or
framing
Chimeras
in
their
braines
,
whether
the
Pike
and
the
Bowe
,
or
the
Pike
and
Dragoone
,
or
Pike
and
long
Pistoll
be
of
greater
importance
:
But
of
these
things
wee
shall
haue
a
larger
time
to
discourse
&
thinke
vpon
,
it
sufficeth
me
that
I
knowe
my
Royall
Masters
pleasure
&
your
honorable
instructions
;
all
which
I
will
studie
,
to
satisfie
onely
diuers
things
are
(
through
other
imployment
,
laid
as
it
were
aside
from
my
memory
,
not
vtterly
forgotten
,
therefore
I
beseech
I
may
haue
the
respite
of
some
fewe
houres
to
recken
with
my
former
knowledge
,
`and
so
yeeld
vp
the
whole
summe
of
my
duty
and
seruice
.
To
this
Oliuares
seemed
exceeding
willing
,
&
so
the
Earle
to
make
choise
of
his
best
time
,
they
departed
one
from
the
other
,
Oliuares
returning
to
satisfie
the
King
,
&
Gondomar
taking
his
Litter
,
went
backe
to
Madrill
,
where
what
contention
grew
betwixt
him
&
his
old
acquainted
mischieues
,
how
euery
minute
hee
produced
new
and
vnnaturall
Cocks-egges
,
brooded
them
from
the
heat
of
his
malice
,
hatche
them
with
the
deuilishnes
of
his
Policie
,
and
brought
forth
Serpents
able
to
poyson
all
Europe
,
is
a
Discourse
monstrous
and
almost
inexpressable
;
I
will
therefore
omit
this
mutinie
of
his
troubled
thoughts
and
onely
pitch
vpon
this
one
accident
,
no
lesse
strange
then
memorable
;
wherein
as
in
a
Mirror
euery
eye
may
behold
the
weakenesse
of
a
guilty
thought
,
and
how
easily
frailty
is
surprised
and
ouercome
,
when
it
encounters
with
these
two
maine
enemies
of
our
blood
,
Feare
and
Amazement
.
It
so
fell
out
,
that
the
Morning
before
the
Noone
on
which
Gondomar
was
to
appeare
before
the
designed
Commissioners
,
partly
to
refresh
his
perturbed
spirits
with
the
pure
Ayre
,
and
to
recollect
vnto
himselfe
all
those
thoughts
and
circumstances
which
might
make
a
glorious
passage
for
the
huge
and
monstrous
bodie
of
mischiefe
where
withall
he
was
that
day
in
labour
;
he
caused
his
attendants
to
bring
him
in
his
Litter
to
the
Prada
,
neare
vnto
the
Cittie
of
Madrill
,
being
a
place
of
recreation
and
pleasure
for
the
Nobilitie
and
Gallantrie
of
Spaine
,
not
much
vnlike
to
our
new
More
field
walkes
,
neare
to
the
Cittie
of
London
,
onely
that
this
is
more
priuate
and
reserued
;
for
as
ours
is
common
to
all
men
of
all
sorts
,
so
is
this
Prada
onely
but
for
the
King
,
the
Grandies
of
Spaine
,
the
Nobilitie
and
some
Gentlemen
of
the
vppermost
or
best
qualitie
.
After
Gondomar
had
in
this
place
of
recreation
taken
a
turne
or
two
in
his
Litter
,
whether
hee
found
his
ruminations
disturbed
with
the
vneasie
pace
of
his
Mules
,
or
that
he
had
not
elbow
roome
enough
in
his
Litter
,
to
giue
action
and
grace
to
many
of
those
damnable
thoughts
which
in
that
houre
gaue
him
singular
contentment
,
for
the
Spaniard
is
not
of
our
dull
English
qualitie
,
to
let
his
words
passe
from
him
as
neglected
strangers
or
thoughts
out
of
the
compasse
of
his
dearest
familiaritie
,
but
rather
as
deare
children
or
choicest
friends
,
to
lend
them
admiration
with
his
eyes
and
hands
,
to
adorne
them
with
expectation
in
the
shrugge
of
his
shoulders
,
and
with
a
thousand
other
minicke
gestures
,
to
make
a
speech
that
is
as
triuiall
and
vnseasoned
as
folly
it selfe
,
to
appeare
as
serious
as
if
it
were
a
Delphan
Oracle
:
vpon
some
one
or
other
of
these
Spanish
disgusts
,
this
Fox
(
our
Earle
)
vnkennels
himselfe
and
makes
his
seruants
take
him
from
his
Litter
,
then
placing
his
chaire
(
the
true
sworne
brother
,
or
at
least
the
nearest
kinsman
that
might
be
to
a
closse-stoole
)
vnder
the
shadowe
of
certaine
trees
,
in
a
walke
more
reserued
then
the
rest
,
he
commanded
his
attendants
to
withdraw
themselues
;
and
he
had
reason
so
to
doe
for
two
principall
respects
:
the
first
,
least
his
anticke
postures
,
mumps
,
moes
and
Munkey-like
wrye
faces
might
drawe
laughter
or
scorne
from
his
vassals
,
or
lastly
least
the
violence
of
his
studie
and
meditations
might
make
some
words
fall
from
him
,
which
he
thought
too
precious
for
another
mans
bosome
.
Being
obeyed
in
all
his
commandements
,
and
seated
thus
alone
by
himselfe
,
onely
guarded
by
his
two
choise
friends
Malice
and
Mischiefe
,
he
had
not
cald
vp
many
euill
thoughts
to
appeare
before
him
,
when
on
a
sodaine
(
according
to
the
weakenesse
of
his
apprehension
)
there
shined
round
about
him
a
most
glorious
and
extraordinary
light
;
which
might
be
taken
rather
for
fire
or
flaming
,
then
shine
or
glittering
:
and
this
appeared
so
sodainely
,
spred
it selfe
so
largely
and
increased
so
violently
,
that
terror
,
feare
and
amazement
at
one
instant
raised
vpon
the
heart
of
the
Earle
,
and
with
their
colde
qualities
did
so
stupifie
,
dull
and
contracte
all
his
spirits
,
that
as
if
he
had
seene
Medusas
head
,
the
poore
Don
was
become
altogether
a
peece
of
yce
or
marble
;
he
had
no
spirit
to
remember
there
were
spirits
,
his
crossings
and
blessings
,
his
holy
water
and
his
Agnus
Dei
,
his
Monks
charmes
,
and
his
Iesuites
coniurations
were
all
now
turnd
to
quaking
and
trembling
,
to
staring
&
starke
madnes
,
to
gaping
and
groaning
,
to
wante
of
words
through
strife
for
words
,
and
indeed
to
what
not
that
might
shew
the
singularnesse
of
a
perplexed
astonishment
?
his
night-cap
throwes
his
hat
in
the
dust
,
and
his
haire
makes
his
cap
fly
into
the
aire
like
a
feather
;
he
doth
reuerence
but
sees
no
Saint
,
would
faine
vtter
either
salutations
or
curses
,
but
knows
not
by
what
name
to
cal
his
controller
:
In
the
end
starting
and
standing
vpright
,
seeming
to
see
what
he
would
not
see
,
or
to
finde
out
that
with
curiositie
,
which
he
had
rather
loose
with
the
best
care
of
his
spirits
;
stradling
like
a
Colosses
,
as
if
he
neither
respected
present
perils
,
nor
feared
those
which
were
further
off
,
he
lookt
as
if
he
would
look
through
the
pure
ayre
,
and
though
it
haue
truely
no
colour
,
yet
was
his
searche
so
diligent
that
he
appeared
to
find
out
a
constant
complexion
;
yet
all
was
but
his
new
feare
,
which
neither
the
manner
of
his
life
(
which
had
euer
beene
desperate
,
subtile
,
and
reserued
)
the
condition
of
the
times
(
at
that
time
and
in
that
place
free
from
perplexities
and
incumberance
)
the
state
of
his
affaires
(
rather
rising
then
declining
)
nor
his
present
negotiations
strong
enough
to
haue
encountred
with
any
Goliahs
amazement
,
was
able
now
to
keepe
constant
any
one
ioynt
about
him
:
I
haue
read
that
the
Duke
of
Burgundie
had
like
to
haue
dyed
at
the
sight
of
the
nine
Worthies
,
which
a
Magician
had
discouered
but
:
our
Don
Gondomar
is
like
now
to
dye
at
the
sight
of
nothing
but
aire
and
his
owne
imagination
;
for
he
had
euery
symptome
of
death
about
him
,
as
a
body
trembling
,
a
stomach
swelling
,
fore-head
turnd
yellow
,
eyes
dead
or
sinking
,
a
mouth
gaping
,
&
what
not
that
could
say
our
Don
is
now
vpon
the
pitch
of
departing
.
They
say
that
great
Princes
should
neuer
see
the
portraiture
of
feare
but
vpon
their
enemies
backes
;
sure
I
am
Gondomar
now
sawe
both
feare
and
cowardise
vpon
his
owne
heart
.
But
why
should
I
driue
you
off
with
more
circumstance
?
the
nakednes
of
the
truth
is
,
that
as
he
gazed
thus
fearefully
about
,
there
appeared
or
seemed
to
appeare
before
him
the
Ghost
of
Sir
Walter
Rawleigh
Knight
,
a
Noble
famous
English-man
and
a
renowned
Souldier
:
at
this
apparition
the
Earle
fell
downe
flat
to
the
earth
vpon
his
face
(
for
backeward
he
durst
not
,
least
he
might
giue
an
offence
to
his
Surgion
)
and
yet
the
posture
in
which
this
Noble
Gentleman
appeared
,
how
euer
fearefull
to
the
guilte
of
Gondomars
conscience
,
yet
it
was
amiable
and
louely
to
any
pure
and
honest
composition
,
for
he
was
armed
at
all
peeces
,
and
those
peeces
of
siluer
,
which
is
the
ensigne
of
innocence
and
harmlesnesse
:
In
his
right
hand
he
brandished
his
sword
,
which
was
an
instrument
that
had
beene
euer
fatall
to
Spanish
practises
,
and
had
not
the
edge
beene
taken
off
by
this
Foxes
subtilities
,
I
perswade
my selfe
(
by
this
time
)
it
had
neere
made
a
new
conquest
of
the
West
Indies
;
in
his
left
hand
be
seemed
to
carry
a
cup
of
gold
fild
with
blood
,
which
blood
he
sprinkled
,
some
vpon
Gondomar
and
some
vpon
the
ground
,
vttering
in
an
hollow
and
vnpleasant
voyce
,
these
or
the
like
words
following
.
Cresce
Cruor
,
Sanguis
satietur
sanguine
Cresce
,
quod
Spero
Sitio
,
ah
Sitio
,

Gondomars
attendants
who
had
all
this
while
(
a
farre
off
)
beheld
their
Lords
actions
,
seeing
him
now
falling
downe
in
this
trance
,
came
with
all
possible
speede
running
vnto
him
,
but
ere
they
could
offer
an
hand
to
his
assistance
,
they
might
heare
him
vtter
words
of
that
strange
nature
and
qualitie
,
that
their
feares
bridled
their
charities
,
and
they
were
rather
willing
to
let
him
lye
still
,
bending
their
attentions
to
his
words
,
then
by
a
too
officious
disturbance
to
break
off
any
parte
of
that
discourse
which
might
either
make
for
the
bettering
of
the
knowledge
of
the
State
,
or
otherwise
be
applyed
to
future
seruice
,
at
which
these
vnnaturall
and
abortiue
accidents
euer
point
,
&
therefore
fixing
their
eyes
and
their
eares
constantly
vpon
him
(
as
he
lay
groueling
on
the
earth
)
they
might
heare
these
,
or
like
words
much
like
vnto
these
,
proceed
from
his
perplexed
and
amazed
spirit
.
Blessed
soule
(
Noble
Sir
Walter
Rawleigh
)
what
haue
I
to
doe
with
thy
goodnesse
,
or
wherefore
hast
thou
left
the
peacefulnesse
of
thy
rest
,
to
torment
and
call
me
to
account
ere
the
prefixed
and
full
day
of
my
tryall
be
comed
,
and
that
I
must
stand
face
to
face
with
thee
and
a
world
of
others
before
the
greatest
Tribunall
,
I
can
confesse
mine
iniquities
,
and
that
I
haue
beene
to
the
King
my
master
,
as
Borgia
Caesar
was
to
Pope
Alexander
the
sixt
,
an
instrument
willing
to
take
vpon
me
any
or
all
manner
of
sinnes
how
odious
or
vild
soeuer
,
so
I
might
but
make
Spaine
looke
fresh
,
&
that
those
imputations
(
which
otherwise
might
haue
drownd
her
)
might
be
but
put
into
the
Catalogue
of
my
seruices
,
though
defame
and
curses
were
heaped
vpon
me
,
in
much
greater
quantities
then
Ossa
,
Pelion
or
Pindus
.
I
doe
confesse
I
haue
beene
the
very
Nose
of
the
Spanish
State
,
through
which
hath
beene
voyded
all
the
excrements
both
of
the
head
and
the
whole
body
:
I
haue
beene
a
channell
or
a
Common-shoare
to
the
Church
of
Rome
,
and
what
either
Pope
,
Priest
,
Knaue
or
Iesuite
could
inuent
,
I
haue
not
left
to
put
in
practise
:
I
knew
the
odiousnesse
of
conspiracies
,
and
how
hatefull
they
are
both
to
God
and
man
,
yet
had
I
neuer
the
power
to
leaue
conspiring
:
I
knew
both
that
the
Law
of
God
and
the
law
of
Honour
,
tyed
Princes
to
detest
conspiracies
,
and
had
many
times
read
ouer
that
notable
Historie
of
Lewis
the
eleuenth
,
and
could
my selfe
repeate
the
noble
and
famous
praises
which
all
Europe
gaue
him
for
aduertising
his
Arch-enemie
the
Duke
of
Burgundie
of
an
attempt
against
his
person
:
but
what
hath
this
wrought
in
me
?
certes
nothing
but
more
flame
and
more
fuell
,
so
long
as
my
thoughts
were
busied
with
the
studie
and
remembrance
of
an
vniuersall
Monarchie
.
I
confesse
I
haue
many
times
said
(
how
euer
I
haue
beleeued
)
that
those
great
ones
which
seeke
to
make
away
their
enemies
otherwise
then
by
Iustice
or
the
euent
of
warre
,
shewes
mind
base
and
coward
,
and
that
their
soules
are
emptie
of
true
courage
,
fearing
that
which
they
should
scorne
:
I
confesse
I
haue
admired
the
goodnesse
of
Faritious
who
deliuered
into
Pirrhus
hand
the
slaue
that
should
haue
poysoned
him
:
I
haue
made
Tiberius
Caesar
a
demy-god
,
for
answering
a
King
of
the
Celtes
which
made
him
an
offer
to
poyson
Arminius
,
That
Rome
did
not
vse
to
be
reuenged
of
her
enemies
secretly
and
by
deceite
,
but
openly
and
by
armes
;
but
haue
I
pursued
this
honorable
tracte
:
haue
any
of
my
ghostly
fathers
the
Iesuites
,
or
my
masters
the
Inquisitors
giuen
examples
for
these
restrictions
?
no
,
their
lessons
are
of
a
cleane
contrarie
nature
;
they
say
Flaminius
was
an
honest
man
when
hee
made
Prusias
the
King
of
Bithinia
violate
all
the
lawes
of
hospitalitie
and
vertue
,
in
the
murther
of
Haniball
,
but
the
whole
Senate
condemd
the
action
for
most
odious
,
accusd
Flaminius
of
crueltie
and
coueteousnesse
,
of
vaine
glory
and
of
ostentation
:
and
questionlesse
had
they
had
any
touche
or
feeling
of
Diuinitie
or
Christianitie
they
could
not
haue
found
any
other
ranke
for
him
,
then
that
next
vnto
Iudas
:
these
faire
paths
I
haue
knowne
,
but
these
I
haue
forsaken
:
and
as
Flaminius
was
the
cause
of
Hanibals
death
out
of
an
ambitious
emulation
,
that
he
might
in
the
Histories
of
succeeding
times
be
made
notorious
and
eminent
for
so
soule
an
action
.
So
I
must
confesse
I
that
haue
the
whole
course
of
my
life
labourd
continually
in
the
deep
myne
of
pollicie
;
haue
not
spared
any
blood
(
how
excellent
soeuer
)
so
I
might
be
remembred
in
our
after
Annals
,
for
one
of
the
chiefe
master
workemen
which
went
to
the
building
vp
of
the
King
my
masters
Vniuersal
Monarchy
:
And
in
this
I
must
confesse
,
most
blessed
soule
,
that
thy
death
,
thy
vntimely
(
&
to
the
Kingdom
of
Great
Britane
)
much
too
early
death
(
which
with
all
violence
&
with
all
the
coniurations
,
perswasions
&
examples
that
could
tye
&
bind
together
the
hearts
and
bodies
of
Princes
I
did
both
plot
,
pursue
,
effect
and
consumate
)
was
one
of
the
greatest
masters
peeces
in
which
I
euer
triumphed
;
I
haue
made
my selfe
fat
with
thy
downefall
:
and
the
blood
which
issued
from
thy
wound
,
was
Nectar
and
Ambrosia
to
my
soule
;
for
from
thy
ending
I
knew
rightwell
must
proceed
Spaines
beginning
:
for
neuer
could
the
Spanish
King
say
as
the
French
King
did
,
Iesuis
Roy
seul
,
I
am
King
alone
of
the
Indies
as
long
as
Rawleigh
liued
,
whose
knowledge
and
experience
was
able
to
diuert
,
conuert
and
turne
topsie turuie
all
his
conquests
,
all
his
proceedings
.
I
say
the
tottering
ground
wheron
my
King
title
to
the
Indies
stood
,
that
it
was
nothing
but
violence
and
force
,
tyranie
and
vsurpation
,
and
that
if
a
stranger
or
more
gentle
army
should
enter
,
how
easie
it
was
to
set
vs
besides
the
cushion
;
this
I
knew
thou
knowest
,
and
what
not
besides
which
belongeth
to
so
great
an
attempt
and
triumphe
?
I
must
confesse
I
haue
called
vp
into
my
minde
the
honour
,
the
antiquitie
and
greatnesse
of
thy
great
Familie
,
how
rich
thou
wert
in
blood
and
friends
,
the
whole
West
of
the
English
Nation
depending
on
thine
allyance
:
The
manner
of
thine
education
,
which
was
not
part
but
wholy
Gentleman
,
wholy
Souldier
,
the
edowments
of
thy
vertues
,
which
was
Learning
and
Wisedome
;
the
aduancement
of
those
endowments
,
which
was
to
be
the
greatest
,
the
best
,
the
most
renowned
Princesse
that
euer
breathed
in
Europe
;
and
in
the
greatest
time
of
the
greatest
actions
,
the
busiest
time
of
the
most
troubled
Estates
,
the
wisest
time
for
the
discussion
of
the
most
difficult
affaires
,
and
the
onely
time
that
did
produce
the
excellencie
and
perfection
of
wisedome
,
Warre
and
Gouernment
,
so
that
nothing
could
be
hid
from
thy
knowledge
,
neither
wouldst
thou
suffer
any
thing
to
be
concealed
from
thine
experience
,
for
thou
hadst
euer
a
mind
actiuely
disposed
;
and
howsoeuer
thy
fortune
was
accompanyed
with
all
manner
of
felicities
,
things
able
in
themselues
to
haue
drawne
thy
minde
from
all
other
obiects
,
and
to
haue
setled
thee
vpon
this
Theorie
,
and
solitarinesse
is
the
most
excellentest
condition
belonging
vnto
mankinde
,
in
as
much
as
in
it
he
onely
findeth
the
true
tranquilitie
of
the
minde
,
for
nothing
is
wanting
in
that
quiet
habitation
;
Manna
fals
there
,
the
Rauens
bring
bread
from
heauen
;
if
the
waters
be
bitter
,
there
is
wood
to
sweeten
them
:
If
the
combate
of
Amalec
&
Edom
be
there
,
the
triumphs
of
Moses
&
Iosua
are
likwise
there
,
for
what
cannot
a
life
retired
either
suffer
or
care
in
its
contemplation
;
yet
all
this
thou
didst
neglect
,
and
both
contradict
and
disproue
:
thou
knewest
this
life
vnfit
for
thy
greatnesse
,
and
thou
wert
not
borne
for
thy selfe
but
thy
Countrie
,
thou
knewest
the
Sea
,
wherein
euery
great
soule
should
wander
:
had
not
hauen
but
the
graue
,
and
that
as
they
liued
so
they
ought
euer
to
dye
in
action
.
Hence
it
came
,
that
euen
in
the
very
florish
and
glorie
of
all
thy
great
estate
,
thou
betookest
thy selfe
to
the
Seas
,
and
what
thou
hast
before
by
thy
purse
and
infinit
great
charge
in
the
actions
of
other
men
wonne
and
annexed
to
the
Diademe
of
thy
great
Mistris
,
now
thou
doest
in
thine
owne
person
take
a
vewe
.
and
sutuay
of
the
same
,
applying
knowledge
to
report
,
and
making
thine
owne
experience
a
controller
to
other
mens
relations
:
I
dare
not
(
for
the
honour
of
my
Nation
)
vnfolde
the
woefull
perplexitie
in
which
Spaine
stood
during
this
tedious
voyage
,
how
she
quaked
to
thinke
of
the
generall
viewe
which
thou
hadst
taken
without
impeachement
of
all
the
West
Indies
;
but
most
of
all
when
shee
was
aduertised
of
thy
long
and
laborious
passage
vpon
the
riuer
Or
anaque
,
the
distinguishments
which
thou
hadst
made
betwixt
it
and
the
riuer
of
Amazons
;
and
the
intelligences
which
thou
hadst
gotten
for
thine
ascent
to
the
great
Cittie
of
Manoa
and
Kingdome
of
Guyana
;
defignes
which
if
they
had
beene
pursued
according
to
thy
willingnes
and
knowledge
,
we
had
not
at
this
day
acknowledged
one
foote
of
earth
for
ours
in
all
the
West
Indies
:
O
the
miserable
estate
of
Spaine
if
these
things
had
proceeded
!
she
had
then
,
which
now
threatens
all
,
begd
of
all
;
and
the
Pistolets
of
gold
and
peeces
of
plate
wherewith
it
now
corrupts
and
conquers
Nations
,
had
then
beene
turnd
to
Leather
or
Iron
,
or
some
other
Spanish
stuffe
more
base
and
contemptible
:
Was
it
not
now
high
time
to
conspire
against
thee
,
to
digge
mine
vnder-mine
,
to
enter
into
familiaritie
with
malcontents
,
to
seduce
some
,
to
bribe
others
,
to
flatter
all
;
to
preache
a
thousand
most
damnable
false
doctrines
,
for
the
subuersion
of
Princes
and
the
destruction
of
their
faithfull
seruants
:
was
it
not
time
for
vs
to
make
Religion
a
cloake
for
our
villanie
,
and
vnder-the
Lambs
Furre
to
couer
the
Wolues
policies
?
beleeue
me
(
blessed
shadow
)
had
we
either
made
conscience
of
sin
,
or
scruples
for
the
maintenance
of
Honour
,
we
had
not
subsisted
as
we
doe
,
but
had
sadly
Laine
like
those
which
now
lye
captiued
below
vs
,
can
Spaine
euer
forget
thine
attempt
vpon
her
owne
confines
and
in
her
most
securest
places
,
call
vp
Cadiz
to
witnesse
,
she
will
shew
you
some
of
her
ashes
;
call
the
Kings
great
Armada
to
account
,
which
was
led
by
his
twelue
(
supposed
inuincible
Apostles
)
and
the
most
of
them
must
rise
from
the
bottome
of
the
seas
,
some
must
desimbogue
from
your
our
owne
harbours
:
Let
Pharaoh
in
Portugall
speake
,
and
she
will
confesse
that
her
Church
will
yet
hardly
couer
her
Idols
.
When
I
looke
vpon
the
Ilands
of
the
Azores
,
me
thinkes
I
see
Fiall
burning
in
the
flames
which
you
cast
vpon
her
,
whilst
all
the
rest
bring
in
the
tributs
of
their
best
wealths
,
to
saue
themselues
from
perishing
.
Lastly
but
not
least
,
for
from
it
I
raisd
the
ground-worke
of
thy
fatall
destruction
;
I
cannot
but
recount
thine
action
vpon
the
Towne
of
St
Thoma
standing
vpon
the
riuer
of
Oronoque
,
how
fit
it
lay
as
a
bayte
to
drawe
thee
into
mischiefe
,
and
how
brauely
it
gaue
me
occasion
neuer
to
desist
till
I
saw
thy
ruine
;
alas
,
was
that
despised
Towne
to
be
prised
with
thy
life
,
with
thine
experience
,
with
thine
abilitie
to
direct
,
or
with
the
least
parte
of
thine
actions
?
no
,
it
was
not
onely
my
malice
made
it
inestimable
,
and
my
continuall
solicitations
,
mine
imprecations
,
my
vowes
,
mine
exclamations
vpon
Iustice
,
mine
instances
on
the
actions
of
pious
and
religious
Kings
,
and
the
darings
of
too
bold
and
ambitious
Subiects
,
was
so
importune
and
violent
,
that
but
the
great
forfeiture
of
thy
blood
,
my
furie
could
finde
no
satisfaction
:
hence
you
fell
,
and
that
fall
was
to
me
more
then
a
double
Banquet
;
for
now
mee
thought
I
saw
all
things
secure
about
me
:
Now
said
I
to
my selfe
,
who
shall
shake
any
one
stone
in
our
building
?
who
shall
giue
vs
affright
by
sea
,
or
shew
vs
the
terrors
of
the
land
?
what
shall
hinder
vs
now
to
bring
home
our
gold
in
Caruiles
,
and
our
marchandize
in
Hoys
and
Flyboats
?
all
is
ours
,
the
Ocean
is
ours
,
and
the
Indies
are
ours
:
this
could
wee
neuer
boast
before
,
yet
this
was
my
worke
,
and
in
this
I
triumphed
.
At
these
words
the
Ghost
appeared
to
shewe
anger
,
and
menacying
him
with
frownes
and
the
shaking
of
his
sword
,
the
poore
Don
lifting
vp
his
armes
vnder
his
cloake
,
shewd
his
red
badge
of
the
Order
of
Colotrauta
;
but
finding
the
crosse
vtterly
void
of
vertue
to
diuert
that
charme
,
he
began
to
crye
out
againe
in
this
manner
.
Doe
not
mistake
me
(
blessed
Soule
)
in
that
I
haue
said
I
triumphed
,
for
I
will
now
with
griefe
and
repentance
buy
from
thy
mercy
my
absolution
.
It
is
true
that
then
I
triumphed
,
for
what
is
he
that
takes
in
hand
any
labor
or
worke
of
high
consequence
,
but
when
he
hath
finished
it
to
perfection
,
hee
sits
downe
and
reioyceth
?
So
I
that
saw
(
not
a
farre
off
but
neare
at
hand
)
the
infinite
hinderances
,
rubs
and
impediments
,
which
thy
knowledge
,
thy
valour
,
thy
command
and
experience
,
might
bring
to
any
worke
vndertaken
by
my
King
,
for
the
aduancement
or
bringing
forward
of
his
vniuersall
Monarchie
:
and
when
I
pondred
with
my selfe
,
that
no
Nation
vnder
heauen
was
so
able
in
power
,
so
apt
in
the
nature
and
disposition
of
the
people
,
nor
so
plentifull
in
all
accomodations
,
both
for
sea
and
land
,
as
this
Iland
of
Great
Britaine
,
to
oppose
or
beate
backe
any
or
all
of
our
vndertakings
,
When
I
saw
France
bufie
both
at
home
and
abroad
,
the
Lowe-Countries
carefull
to
keepe
their
owne
,
not
curious
to
increase
their
owne
;
when
I
saw
Germany
afflicted
with
ciuill
anger
,
Denmarke
troubled
to
take
trouble
from
his
dearest
kinsman
:
the
Polender
watching
of
the
Turke
,
and
the
Turke
through
former
losses
,
fearefull
to
giue
any
new
attempt
vpon
Christendome
,
and
that
in
all
these
we
had
a
maine
and
particular
interest
:
when
I
saw
euery
way
smooth
for
vs
to
passe
,
and
that
nothing
could
keepe
the
Garland
from
our
heads
;
or
the
Goale
from
our
purchase
but
onely
the
anger
or
discontent
of
this
fortunate
British
Iland
;
blame
me
not
then
if
I
fell
to
practises
vnlawfull
,
to
flateries
deceitfull
,
to
briberie
most
hurtefull
,
and
to
other
enchantments
most
shamefull
,
by
which
Imight
either
winne
mine
owne
ends
,
or
make
my
worke
prosperous
in
the
opinion
of
my
Soueraigne
.
I
confesse
I
haue
many
times
abused
the
Maiestie
of
Great
Britaine
with
curious
falshoods
,
I
haue
protested
against
my
knowledge
,
and
vttered
vowes
and
promises
which
I
knew
could
neuer
be
reconciled
:
I
haue
made
delayes
,
sharpe
spurs
to
hasten
on
mine
owne
purposes
,
&
haue
brought
the
swiftest
designes
to
so
slowe
a
pace
,
that
they
haue
beene
lost
like
shadowes
,
and
neither
known
nor
regarded
:
I
lookt
into
your
Common-wealth
,
and
saw
that
two
and
twenty
yeares
ease
had
made
her
grow
idle
;
I
saw
the
East
Indies
eate
vp
and
deuoure
your
Mariners
&
Sea-men
,
&
time
and
old
age
consume
and
take
away
your
land
Captaines
;
and
of
all
,
none
more
materiall
then
your selfe
:
Blame
me
not
then
if
I
made
thine
end
my
beginning
,
thy
fall
the
fulnesse
of
my
perfection
,
and
thy
destruction
the
last
worke
or
master-peece
of
all
my
wisedome
and
pollicie
.
This
is
the
freedome
of
my
confession
,
and
but
from
this
sinne
absolue
me
,
and
I
will
dye
thy
penitent
in
sacke-cloath
and
ashes
.
At
these
words
the
apparition
seemed
(
in
the
fearefull
imagination
of
the
poore
Don
)
to
be
more
then
exceeding
angrie
,
and
lookt
vpon
him
with
such
terror
and
amazement
,
that
Gondomar
fell
(
with
the
affright
)
into
a
trance
or
deadly
sound
,
whilest
the
Ghost
seemed
to
vtter

him
these

Harken
to
my
detection
,
and
though
I
knowe
thou
canst
steale
and
kill
,
sweare
and
lye
,
weepe
and
wound
,
and
indeed
doe
any
thing
that
is
contrarie
to
Truth
and
Iustice
;
yet
in
this
accusation
,
shame
and
thine
owne
putrified
conscience
shall
be
witnesses
so
powerfull
and
vndaunted
,
that
thou
shalt
not
be
able
to
refell
any
one
allegation
or
smallest
particle
.
To
begin
then
with
mine
owne
end
,
though
I
know
the
day
of
my
death
was
the
greatest
Festiuall
that
euer
thy
fortune
did
solemnize
,
though
it
brought
to
Spaine
a
yeare
of
Iubile
,
to
thy
reputation
Absolans
pillars
,
and
to
euery
Papisticall
Minister
in
the
world
,
the
praise
of
his
Artes-master
;
yet
poore
despised
mortall
,
know
,
it
was
not
you
,
but
a
more
diuine
and
inserutable
finger
which
pointed
out
my
destinie
to
this
manner
of
end
&
destruction
,
neither
is
it
fit
for
the
humility
of
ignorant
man
to
open
his
eyes
,
as
daring
to
presume
to
gaze
on
the
radiant
beames
of
that
soueraigne
power
,
which
disposeth
of
second
causes
as
he
pleaseth
:
neither
doe
I
afflict
thee
as
my
particular
executioner
,
but
as
my
Countries
generall
enemy
:
It
sufficeth
me
that
the
great
God
who
is
Iudge
of
life
&
death
,
hath
disposed
of
my
life
,
&
after
this
early
manner
,
that
in
it
he
might
expres
the
effects
of
his
Iustice
;
therefore
trouble
not
thy selfe
with
my
death
which
was
thy
comfort
,
but
be
vexed
at
thine
owne
life
,
which
is
nothing
but
a
continuall
pilgrimage
to
Ambition
,
and
an
vndermining
Moale
to
digge
downe
the
Church
of
God
,
and
to
bring
the
Gospell
of
our
blessed
Sauiour
into
eternall
captiuitie
.
Hast
not
thou
beene
an
vntired
packe-horse
,
trauelling
night
and
day
without
a
baite
,
and
loaden
like
ad
Asse
,
till
thy
knees
haue
bowed
vnder
the
burthen
of
strange
and
vnnaturall
designes
,
by
which
to
aduance
thy
Master
to
the
vniuersall
Monarchie
of
all
Europe
:
This
thy
feare
hath
made
thee
confesse
,
but
this
thy
flatterie
and
falshood
will
deny
,
should
not
the
efficacie
of
truth
make
it
most
apparant
and
pregnant
:
Therefore
to
enter
into
the
first
streames
from
whence
Spaine
hath
gathered
the
great
Ocean
of
its
Soueraigntie
,
there
is
no
fountaine
more
remarkable
then
the
Battle
of
Alcazar
in
Barbarie
,
where
the
too
forward
Don
Sebastian
King
of
Portugall
(
whether
slaine
or
not
slaine
)
ingaging
himselfe
too
vnfortunately
,
gaue
occasion
to
Philip
the
second
of
Spaine
,
to
enter
and
vsurpe
vpon
his
kinsmans
Kingdomes
,
to
expell
Don
Antonio
from
his
right
and
inheritance
,
and
as
it
is
strongly
supposed
,
to
cause
the
true
King
himselfe
to
dye
in
the
Gallies
;
hence
he
became
King
of
all
the
Spaines
and
Portugall
,
puld
to
himselfe
the
Soueraignetie
both
of
the
Ilands
of
the
Canaries
and
of
the
Azores
,
the
one
securing
his
way
forth
,
the
other
securing
his
way
home
from
the
West
Indies
,
and
so
made
the
conquest
thereof
more
safe
and
vndoubded
:
hee
tooke
also
by
the
same
interest
many
strong
holds
&
marchantable
places
in
the
East
Indies
,
so
that
sitting
now
alone
in
Spaine
without
a
competitor
,
and
hauing
treasure
from
the
West
Indies
wherewith
to
pay
Souldiers
,
and
marchandize
from
the
East
Indies
wherwith
to
enrich
his
owne
subiects
,
what
could
he
,
or
what
did
hee
contemplate
vpon
but
the
augmentation
of
his
Monarchie
:
Hence
it
came
that
his
waare
grewe
violent
vpon
the
Low-Countries
and
vnder
the
Gouernments
of
the
Duke
of
Alua
,
and
Don
Iohn
Duke
of
Austria
,
the
tyrannies
so
insufferable
,
that
all
manner
of
freedomes
were
conuerted
to
slaueries
,
and
the
blood
of
the
Nobilitie
made
only
foode
for
the
slaughter-house
,
yea
such
as
were
remote
and
stood
farther
off
from
his
crueltie
,
depending
vpon
their
owne
rights
and
vnder
the
couert
of
their
owne
guards
,
were
not
yet
safe
from
Spaines
conspiracies
,
and
that
witnesseth
the
death
and
murther
of
the
famous
Prince
of
Orange
,
the
imprisonment
and
death
of
his
eldest
sonne
,
and
a
world
of
infamous
practises
against
the
life
of
Count
Maurice
,
the
last
Prince
deceased
,
and
against
the
safetie
of
Count
Henrike
the
Prince
now
suruiuing
:
what
incrochments
were
daily
made
vpon
these
distressed
Prouinces
,
all
the
Princes
of
Europe
blush
to
behold
,
and
had
not
Elizabeth
my
dread
Ladie
and
Mistris
of
famous
and
blessed
memorie
,
taken
them
to
her
Royall
protection
,
they
had
long
since
beene
swallowed
vp
in
the
gulphe
of
his
tyrannie
;
and
none
of
them
now
liuing
had
knowne
the
name
of
free
Princes
:
and
as
this
worke
was
begun
by
Philip
the
second
,
so
it
was
continued
by
Philip
the
third
,
and
is
now
at
this
houre
as
earnestly
pursued
by
Philip
the
fourth
and
his
sister
the
Archduchesse
,
and
rather
with
gaining
then
loosing
;
so
that
should
England
but
turne
its
face
a
little
away
from
their
succour
,
there
would
be
a
great
breache
made
in
the
hope
of
their
subsisting
.
But
you
will
answere
,
that
if
Spaine
had
fixed
down
its
resolution
vpon
an
vniuersall
Monarchy
,
they
had
neuer
then
harkned
to
a
peace
with
the
Nether-Lands
:
to
this
thine
owne
conscience
is
ten
thousand
witnesses
,
that
the
peace
which
it
entertained
was
nothing
else
but
a
politicke
delay
to
bring
other
and
impersit
ends
and
designes
,
to
a
more
fit
and
solid
purpose
,
for
effecting
of
his
generall
conquest
:
for
what
did
this
Truce
,
but
diuert
the
eyes
of
the
Nether-lands
(
which
at
that
time
were
growing
to
be
infinit
great
masters
of
shipping
)
from
taking
a
suruay
of
his
Indies
,
and
brought
a
securitie
to
the
transportation
of
his
plate
and
treasure
,
and
made
him
settle
and
reinforce
his
Garrisons
which
then
were
growne
weake
and
ouertoyled
,
besides
a
world
of
other
aduantages
,
which
too
plainely
discouered
themselues
assoone
as
the
warre
was
new
commenced
.
As
he
had
thus
gotten
his
feete
into
the
Nether-lands
,
had
not
Spaine
in
the
same
manner
,
and
with
as
much
vsurpation
,
thrust
his
whole
body
into
Italy
?
let
Naples
speake
,
let
Sicill
,
let
the
Ilands
of
Sardinia
and
Corfica
,
the
Dukedome
of
Millan
,
the
reuolte
of
the
Valtoline
and
a
world
of
other
places
,
some
possest
,
some
lying
vnder
the
pretence
of
strange
Titles
,
but
come
to
giue
vp
their
account
,
and
it
will
be
more
then
manifest
,
that
no
Signorie
in
all
:
Italie
but
stood
vpon
his
guard
,
and
howerly
expected
when
the
Spanish
storme
should
fall
vpon
them
;
how
many
quarrels
hath
beene
piled
against
the
State
of
Venice
,
some
by
the
Pope
,
some
by
the
King
of
Spaine
?
how
many
doubts
haue
beene
throwne
vpon
Tuscanie
?
what
protestations
haue
flowne
to
Genoa
,
and
what
threatnings
against
Geneua
?
and
all
to
put
Italy
into
conbustion
,
whilst
the
Popes
holinesse
,
and
his
Catholicke
Maiestie
,
like
Saturnes
sonnes
,
sat
full
gordgd
with
expectation
to
deuide
heauen
and
earth
betweene
them
.
O
was
it
not
a
braue
politicke
tricke
of
Spaine
,
(
neither
was
thine
aduice
absent
from
the
mischiefe
)
when
the
difference
fell
betweene
Henry
the
Great
of
France
and
the
Duke
of
Sauoye
,
about
the
Marquisate
of
Saluses
;
the
King
then
your
master
vnder
pretence
of
aiding
the
Duke
his
brother
in
Law
,
sent
diuers
Regiments
of
Spaniards
which
were
quartered
some
in
Garbonieres
,
some
in
Montemellion
,
Sauillan
,
Pignoroll
and
diuers
other
places
about
Sauoye
and
Piemont
,
but
when
the
Truce
was
concluded
,
could
the
Duke
vpon
any
intreatie
,
potent
or
message
make
these
Spaniards
to
quit
his
Countrie
?
no
,
by
no
meanes
,
for
they
were
so
farre
from
leauing
●heir
foot-hold
,
hauing
receiued
dtuers
commandments
to
keepe
it
,
both
from
the
Count
de
Fuentes
(
at
that
time
Vice-roy
of
Millan
)
from
thee
by
priuate
letters
,
and
from
the
King
your
Master
by
sundrie
Commissions
;
that
the
chiefes
of
those
Troopes
,
peremptorily
answered
the
Duke
,
that
they
would
hould
their
gettings
,
in
despight
of
all
oppositions
,
and
were
indeed
full
as
good
as
their
words
for
a
long
time
,
till
at
last
the
Duke
(
inforced
thereunto
)
raised
vp
a
strong
Army
,
and
in
a
fewe
dayes
put
them
all
to
the
sword
,
I
would
here
repeate
the
Spanish
attempt
against
the
Castle
of
Nice
,
being
the
very
key
or
opener
of
an
entrance
into
the
very
bowels
of
Italie
;
I
could
speake
of
the
dangerous
quarrel
raisd
betweene
the
Duke
of
Sauoye
and
the
Duke
of
Mantoa
,
for
the
Marquisate
of
Montferrat
,
and
how
fatall
it
was
likely
to
haue
beene
to
the
whole
state
of
Italy
,
wherein
Fuentes
and
thy selfe
,
shewd
all
the
arte
of
practise
that
might
be
,
which
,
should
become
the
master
worke-man
;
but
these
things
are
so
pregnant
and
apparant
that
they
neede
little
discussion
.
Let
mee
now
awaken
thy
memory
with
some
stirrings
vp
or
practises
against
the
Kingdome
of
France
,
no
lesse
but
more
pernitious
then
any
of
the
former
;
who
was
the
head
or
chiefe
soueraigne
(
after
the
the
death
of
Henry
the
third
King
of
France
and
Poland
)
of
that
most
vnchristian
like
combination
,
intituled
the
Holy
,
but
truely
vnholy
League
,
was
it
not
Philip
of
Spaine
one
of
your
most
Catholike
Masters
,
who
made
the
great
and
valiant
Guise
his
sword
and
seruant
,
the
ould
Queene
mother
his
intelligencer
and
admirer
,
the
Cardinals
his
Ministers
and
seducers
,
and
the
Pope
himselfe
a
Prodigall
childe
,
to
bestow
and
giue
away
whatsoeuer
hee
required
?
was
not
all
this
Philip
of
Spaine
your
Catholike
Master
?
How
long
did
he
keepe
Henry
the
fourth
surnamed
the
Great
,
from
his
lawfull
Throne
and
inheritance
?
what
Citties
did
hee
possesse
?
euen
the
greatest
that
France
could
number
:
what
Countries
vnder
his
command
?
all
that
were
rich
or
fruitfull
:
and
what
Nobilitie
had
hee
drawne
from
their
obedience
?
those
that
were
more
powerfull
and
best
beloued
;
in
so
much
,
that
had
not
my
most
excellent
Mistris
Elizabeth
,
of
blessed
and
famous
Memory
,
like
a
strong
Rocke
against
the
rage
of
a
furious
sea
,
taken
the
quarrell
into
her
hand
,
and
by
her
Royall
protection
,
first
vnder
the
conduct
of
the
Lord
Willoughby
,
after
vnder
the
conduct
of
the
Earle
of
Essex
,
staid
and
supported
that
reeling
Estate
,
France
it
is
feared
,
at
this
houre
had
onely
spoken
the
Spanish
language
:
but
God
in
his
great
mercie
had
otherwise
disposed
of
these
practises
,
and
though
with
some
difficulties
,
brought
the
Crowne
of
France
to
its
true
owner
;
a
Prince
so
absolutely
excellent
in
euery
perfection
of
true
honour
and
magnimitie
,
that
his
paralell
hath
not
beene
found
in
all
the
Historie
of
France
,
and
although
hee
had
in
his
very
youth
and
almost
child-hood
preuailed
in
diuers
Battles
,
as
that
at
Montconter
,
and
at
Rene-le-duke
;
and
although
hee
had
beene
assayled
in
the
dayes
of
Henry
the
third
,
and
in
the
space
of
foure
yeares
,
by
ten
Royall
Armies
successiuely
one
after
another
,
and
sent
one
to
refresh
the
other
,
and
vnder
the
conduct
of
great
and
most
glorious
Captaines
,
against
all
which
he
preuailed
,
as
witnessed
his
victorie
at
the
Battle
of
Coutras
and
other
places
,
though
he
had
giuen
succour
to
Henry
the
third
,
and
deliuered
him
from
his
great
danger
at
Tours
,
bringing
to
his
obedience
Gargeau
,
Gien
,
La
Charite
,
Fluuiers
,
Estampes
,
Deurdan
and
diuers
other
places
:
though
hee
had
beene
generally
fortunate
in
all
his
great
actions
,
yet
after
the
death
of
Henry
the
third
,
this
deuillish
combination
,
or
Spanish
knot
of
the
League
is
more
ominous
,
fatall
and
troublesome
vnto
him
,
then
all
his
former
vndertakings
;
and
hee
found
that
although
hee
might
haue
come
to
the
Crowne
of
France
by
succession
,
which
was
the
easiest
way
,
yet
God
to
trie
his
courage
,
to
exercise
the
force
of
his
minde
,
and
to
make
a
foolish
shadowe
or
Ignis
Fatuus
of
Spaines
Ambition
,
presented
the
most
painefull
and
difficult
vnto
him
,
which
was
that
of
Conquest
:
Hee
was
forst
to
raise
on
foote
(
by
the
helpe
of
our
E●glish
Nation
)
three
Royall
Armies
,
which
he
disperst
in
three
Prouinces
;
the
first
,
into
Normandie
,
where
he
was
assisted
by
the
Earle
of
Essex
,
the
second
into
Champaigne
,
and
the
third
into
Picardie
,
where
hee
was
seconded
by
the
Lord
Willoughbie
,
who
brought
him
triumphantly
into
the
suburbs
of
Paris
,
and
by
the
blowing
vp
of
a
Porte
,
offerd
to
deliuer
the
whole
Cittie
to
his
subiection
;
the
Earle
of
Essex
did
as
much
at
Roan
,
but
the
King
desired
to
winne
France
,
not
to
destroy
France
,
yet
ere
the
Earle
departed
,
he
chafed
rebellion
out
of
the
most
part
of
Normandie
:
the
King
gaue
his
enemis
(
the
Spanish
faction
)
battle
vpon
the
plaine
of
Yury
and
wonne
it
,
by
which
he
regained
in
lesse
then
two
months
fifteene
or
sixteene
great
Townes
,
brought
Paris
to
infinit
extreamitie
,
made
the
Spaniards
wish
themselues
on
the
other
side
of
the
Pereneans
:
and
indeede
such
a
generall
amazement
to
all
the
vnhappie
Leaguers
,
that
all
stood
agast
,
as
vncertaine
which
way
to
turne
them
.
This
when
your
great
Master
beheld
,
and
saw
that
all
his
hopes
were
dying
in
an
instant
,
like
a
cunning
Coniurer
hee
seekes
to
drawe
fire
and
lightning
from
heauen
,
to
consume
what
his
Armies
durst
not
approach
or
disualewe
,
whence
it
came
,
that
he
rouses
vp
Gregorie
the
13.
then
Pope
,
who
indeed
was
the
Oracle
,
or
rather
the
creature
of
Philip
your
master
,
and
makes
him
of
a
common
Father
betweene
the
head
of
a
rebellious
and
vsurping
partie
,
casting
forth
his
fulminations
with
such
violence
and
iniustice
,
that
the
Buls
were
taken
and
burnt
both
at
Tours
and
at
Chalons
;
neither
sent
he
out
these
Buls
by
his
vngodly
and
bloodie
Ministers
the
Iesuites
,
or
such
like
desperate
and
obscure
mal-contents
,
but
with
an
Army
of
a
thousand
cassacks
of
watchet
veluet
,
imbrodred
with
gold
,
and
Ciphers
of
Keys
ioyned
vnto
swords
(
whose
errand
was
,
to
demand
the
execution
of
these
Buls
)
now
seing
the
difficultie
wherein
affaires
stood
,
vpon
the
vew
of
one
hundred
horse
of
the
French
Kings
white
Cornet
,
dare
not
for
all
the
Pope
or
the
King
of
Spaines
hopes
or
commandements
abandon
the
very
shadowe
of
the
walles
of
Verdun
,
but
like
so
many
Foxes
lay
lurking
in
their
kennels
of
security
,
knowing
they
had
to
deale
with
men
,
whose
swords
were
so
well
steeld
,
that
they
feared
not
the
lead
of
Rome
,
onely
like
so
many
Furies
of
hell
they
seeke
to
breake
all
treaties
of
peace
,
and
made
it
an
action
treasonable
and
most
impious
,
to
talke
of
an
vnity
betweene
the
Soueraigne
and
the
subiect
.
But
for
all
this
,
great
Henry
lost
no
time
,
for
first
,
he
passed
into
Normandy
,
secured
his
friends
there
,
thence
hee
went
into
Picardie
,
besieged
Noyon
and
tooke
it
,
euen
in
the
view
of
the
Spanish
Armie
,
who
although
they
were
three
to
one
,
yet
durst
not
to
hazard
the
Battle
:
which
aduantage
the
King
wisely
taking
,
and
turning
head
vpon
his
enemies
,
albeit
hee
was
aduised
to
the
contrary
by
his
chiefest
seruants
,
yet
his
courage
bound
him
rather
to
follow
the
path
of
danger
with
honour
,
then
that
of
safety
with
shame
,
saying
as
Pompey
said
,
That
in
striking
his
foot
against
the
earth
he
would
raise
vp
Legions
:
so
the
Armies
met
together
at
Aumale
,
where
though
vpon
the
first
approach
the
King
was
hurt
with
a
shot
,
yet
he
had
strongth
enough
to
crye
Charge
,
Charge
,
and
breaking
through
his
enemies
,
he
put
the
Duke
of
Parma
and
all
his
Spaniards
to
a
shamefull
retraite
;
as
this
,
so
he
beat
his
enemies
at
Bellencombe
,
he
stripes
them
at
Bure
,
and
made
them
to
quit
Tuetot
with
much
shame
and
losse
.
Thus
this
Royall
Kings
quarrell
being
iust
,
and
maintained
by
a
good
sword
,
the
pride
of
Spaine
found
that
if
the
warre
contained
longer
,
her
Catholike
greatnesse
,
could
haue
more
wood
to
heat
her
Ouen
,
then
corne
to
send
to
the
Mill.
T
is
purposelesse
to
speake
of
the
ruine
of
Quibeuf
,
the
recouerie
of
Espernay
,
or
that
braue
assault
,
where
eight
Horses
put
three
hundred
to
route
;
let
it
suffice
me
in
one
word
to
conclude
,
that
in
despight
of
all
the
engines
which
the
Pope
or
the
King
of
Spaine
could
vse
,
Henry
of
France
became
triumphant
,
and
your
Masters
vniuersall
Monarchie
was
turnd
topsie turuie
:
nay
,
the
League
the
Typhon
of
sedition
from
whence
sprung
so
many
Serpents
and
Vipers
of
disloyalty
,
was
smothered
vnder
the
AEtna
of
her
owne
presumption
and
pride
.
But
did
either
Spaine
or
Rome
here
stay
their
malice
?
fie
no
,
but
rather
Anteus
like
,
they
rose
vp
with
double
vigor
,
and
what
publique
warre
could
not
effect
,
priuate
practise
and
conspiracie
must
bring
to
passe
,
for
ere
the
Great
Henry
was
well
warmed
in
his
Throne
,
Hell
and
the
Spanish
gold
stird
vp
a
wretch
,
who
vndertooke
to
kill
him
;
the
Tyger
staid
his
hand
at
the
shining
of
a
glasse
,
and
after
his
apprehension
,
confest
that
hee
sawe
so
much
pietie
and
zeale
shining
in
the
eyes
of
this
Prince
,
that
he
felt
horrour
in
himselfe
to
offend
the
Soueraigne
dignity
ordained
of
God
among
Angels
and
Men.
Hence
it
came
that
all
France
beheld
and
tooke
notice
of
Spaines
Ambition
,
&
that
indeed
all
their
labour
was
but
to
reduce
that
florishing
Nation
to
a
priuate
Prouince
,
which
the
Parliament
of
Paris
(
after
it
had
vomited
the
phlegme
of
temporizing
)
taking
to
heart
,
made
forth
a
Decree
for
the
dispersing
and
banishing
of
all
the
Spanish
Regiments
:
and
now
fiue
great
Dukes
,
formerly
bewitched
with
Catholike
incantations
,
fall
at
the
foote
of
this
great
King
,
and
confesse
how
they
were
beguyled
.
The
first
,
was
the
Duke
of
Lorraine
,
which
obtained
a
generall
Peace
for
his
Estate
,
through
the
mediation
of
Ferdinand
the
Archduke
of
Tuscanie
;
the
second
was
the
Duke
of
Mayenne
,
who
abtained
pardon
through
the
wisedome
of
his
carryage
,
hauing
still
a
watchfull
eye
,
that
no
generall
ruine
might
happen
to
the
Kingdome
;
The
third
,
was
the
Duke
of
Guise
,
the
losse
of
whose
father
and
vnckle
,
made
his
interest
the
greatest
in
this
quarrell
,
yet
had
he
the
honour
to
receiue
the
Kings
first
imbraces
;
The
fourth
was
the
Duke
of
Ioyeuse
,
who
as
soone
as
hee
had
kist
the
Kings
hand
,
forsooke
the
troubles
of
the
world
,
betooke
himselfe
to
a
solitary
life
;
and
the
last
was
the
Duke
Mercure
,
who
brought
to
the
King
,
not
himselfe
alone
,
but
with
him
the
reduction
of
the
goodlyest
Prouince
in
all
France
:
To
conclude
Philip
of
Spaine
your
Master
,
seing
vpon
what
false
wheeles
his
engins
ranne
,
was
content
to
intreate
for
peace
of
this
great
Cheiftaine
.
But
did
here
conspiracies
and
Spanish
plots
end
?
no
,
nothing
so
:
for
to
come
nearer
to
your
owne
touche
,
and
to
repeate
matters
of
thine
owne
prosecution
,
Is
it
not
an
Historie
most
remarkable
,
and
to
Spaine
most
infamous
,
of
that
desperate
vilaine
borne
at
Negre-pelisse
,
who
going
into
Spaine
vpon
some
discontents
conceiued
against
this
great
Henry
of
France
,
and
as
it
was
strongly
supposed
,
hauing
taken
some
directions
from
you
,
but
full
and
materiall
instructions
from
the
Deuils
post
horses
your
masters
the
Iesuites
,
did
with
all
violence
prostitute
himselfe
to
murther
this
most
Christian
King
;
but
the
matter
being
so
important
,
and
carryed
through
so
many
seuerall
hands
,
had
lost
so
much
strength
of
secrecie
,
that
an
inckling
thereof
came
to
the
eares
of
de
Barrant
,
then
ordinarie
Ambassadour
in
Spaine
for
the
King
of
France
,
who
instantly
out
of
dutie
,
and
the
hatred
which
euery
true
Christian
ought
to
beare
against
these
odious
and
most
Atheisticall
practises
,
complained
to
the
Popes
Nuntio
,
hoping
of
redresse
,
both
against
the
vilaine
himselfe
,
your selfe
and
the
Iesuites
,
who
are
both
vilaines
and
your selfe
;
but
the
matter
was
fully
blancht
,
and
your
impious
eare
(
that
had
listned
to
this
abhominable
sinne
)
was
excused
,
and
the
whole
offence
of
subornation
was
laid
vpon
a
creature
of
yours
;
but
one
of
the
King
of
Spaines
Esquiers
,
named
by
the
place
of
his
birth
Valdomoro
,
who
vpon
examination
(
hauing
his
lesson
fore
taught
him
,
confest
all
the
passages
to
the
Duke
of
Lerma
,
and
that
not
onely
this
slaue
,
but
diuers
others
had
tendred
themselues
to
the
like
seruice
,
yet
this
with
the
greatest
violence
,
assuring
him
that
he
knew
the
meanes
how
to
kill
the
King
;
which
proposition
,
vpon
some
conference
with
a
Iesuite
(
who
neuer
take
distast
at
such
a
practise
)
he
had
accepted
of
,
but
yet
with
that
caution
and
delay
that
nothing
proceeded
therein
,
neither
was
likely
to
proceed
,
and
so
all
things
were
shut
vp
without
any
further
discouerie
,
onely
that
de
Barraut
aduertised
the
King
his
Master
thereof
:
but
was
this
honorable
or
pious
in
Spaine
?
no
,
the
praise
had
beene
more
perfect
,
and
the
merit
more
plaine
and
euident
for
the
Spaniards
,
if
they
had
punished
the
Traytor
,
made
thy selfe
Valdomoro
,
and
the
Iesuite
examples
,
not
to
listen
or
giue
eare
to
such
odious
conspiracies
,
and
by
a
carefull
aduertisement
to
the
King
,
made
others
dread
the
entering
into
so
odious
a
businesse
,
for
it
is
true
in
all
the
lawes
of
hospitalitie
,
that
this
slaue
ought
not
to
haue
come
out
of
Spaine
vnchastised
,
for
all
Kings
are
brothers
,
and
all
Kingdomes
interessed
in
these
attemps
.
But
the
designes
of
Spaine
lookt
now
an
other
way
,
and
the
Traytor
had
leaue
to
escape
,
who
returning
afterwards
into
France
,
was
by
de
Verdun
first
President
of
Languedoc
,
apprehended
at
Tholouse
and
there
executed
,
and
his
companion
condemnd
to
the
Gallies
.
O
how
farre
was
this
action
shorte
,
of
that
Royall
and
Princely
acte
of
the
famous
late
Queene
Elizabeth
!
who
hauing
receiued
intelligence
of
some
Spanish
mischieues
pretended
against
this
great
King
,
forthwith
gaue
him
intelligence
,
that
a
strange
Gentleman
,
who
was
one
of
his
followers
,
had
no
good
meaning
towards
his
person
,
and
related
vnto
him
euery
circumstance
as
she
had
receiued
it
;
but
such
was
the
bountie
of
this
great
King
,
that
allbe
reason
would
that
he
should
haue
bin
apprehended
,
yet
the
King
neuer
discouered
vnto
him
a
frowne
,
but
he
still
remained
in
the
Court
well
entertained
,
was
mounted
out
of
the
Kings
stable
,
and
honoured
with
many
of
his
trustie
commandements
,
till
in
the
end
torturd
with
his
owne
conscience
,
he
stole
away
from
the
Court
,
&
durst
no
longer
abuse
so
Royall
a
bountie
;
that
this
was
a
Fauorite
of
Spaine
your selfe
cannot
deny
,
that
he
fled
from
France
into
Spaine
,
your
one
Cabanet
is
a
witnesse
,
and
that
you
did
preserue
him
for
the
like
exploits
in
others
places
:
the
marke
on
his
face
,
the
colour
of
his
beard
,
and
his
cloaths
cut
after
the
Walloone
fashion
were
too
apparant
testimonies
.
I
might
here
recounte
this
great
Kings
death
by
Rauiliac
,
from
whose
blood
,
neither
thy selfe
nor
Spaine
can
wash
themselues
,
though
all
the
Riuers
in
the
world
were
exhausted
and
thrust
into
one
entyer
Bath
,
and
so
spent
vpon
your
particular
cleansings
;
but
these
truths
are
so
fresh
in
memorie
,
they
need
neither
repeating
,
nor
amplification
.
I
could
to
these
adde
a
world
of
others
,
as
the
attempts
vpon
the
life
and
safety
of
the
late
Queene
Elizabeth
of
famous
memorie
,
and
the
making
of
all
those
inhumane
creatures
Pentioners
of
Spaine
,
who
had
either
by
rebellion
or
other
treasonable
practise
,
attempted
any
thing
for
her
vntimely
and
sad
destruction
.
Was
our
late
dread
Soueraigne
,
King
Iames
of
blessed
and
happy
memorie
,
that
Salomon
of
his
time
,
a
Prince
so
indulgent
and
carefull
for
euery
good
thing
that
might
happen
to
Spaine
,
a
man
so
tender
and
vigilant
for
her
reputation
,
that
hee
euer
plac'd
it
in
the
next
rancke
to
his
owne
honour
?
was
he
I
say
?
was
this
good
King
free
from
the
bloody
practises
of
Spaine
?
no
,
to
the
eternall
infamie
of
ingratefull
and
bloody
Spaine
;
I
may
euer
proclaime
it
that
he
was
more
deepely
plunged
and
his
like
,
more
bitterly
besieged
and
assaulted
,
then
any
whatsoeuer
before
rehearsed
:
and
to
this
I
call
vp
the
plot
of
all
plots
,
that
Deuill
of
many
legions
of
Deuils
,
the
Gun-pouder
conspiracie
,
that
which
should
haue
destroyed
all
,
not
a
single
Prince
or
a
single
man
,
but
many
Princes
,
many
mens
whole
generations
;
here
was
cruell
Spaine
and
here
indeed
(
had
not
God
preuented
)
was
a
strong
foundation
for
an
vniuersall
Monarchie
;
and
that
Spaine
may
not
in
this
,
pleade
not
guilty
:
let
her
discouer
to
the
world
what
occurrents
they
were
which
drew
Thomas
●inter
into
her
confines
,
what
negotiation
was
●hat
which
hee
held
with
de
Laxis
,
whence
came
his
instructions
and
letters
commendatorie
into
●he
Archduchesse
Countrie
?
where
did
Guy
Faucks
●eceiue
his
breeding
?
who
gaue
information
of
●is
knowledge
in
myning
?
and
who
preferred
●nd
aduancst
him
to
this
peece
of
most
damnable
seruice
?
questionlesse
let
truth
answere
to
any
of
these
positions
,
and
the
speech
it
must
vtter
,
will
be
Spanish
language
;
who
in
all
this
Nation
was
so
intimate
with
you
as
the
Archpriest
Garnet
?
or
who
like
him
found
at
your
hands
equall
protection
?
he
confest
and
absolued
the
Traytors
,
and
thou
didst
absolue
and
confesse
him
,
and
thereby
didst
get
vnto
thy selfe
from
thine
owne
Tribe
,
the
nicke-name
of
Archbishop
Ambassadour
.
Thus
I
haue
brought
Spaines
attemps
for
an
vniuersall
Monarchie
,
from
Portugall
to
the
Netherlands
,
thence
through
Italy
,
so
into
France
;
England
,
was
lookt
vpon
by
the
way
,
in
the
yeare
1588.
but
shee
was
not
so
drowfie
as
others
:
there
is
now
but
Germanie
betwixt
him
and
the
end
of
his
Ambition
,
but
is
that
free
and
vntouched
?
woe
to
speake
it
,
that
of
all
is
the
worst
and
most
horred
:
O
the
lamentable
estate
,
of
those
once
most
happie
Princes
!
how
hath
the
house
of
Austria
drownd
them
in
blood
?
and
by
the
worke
of
ciuill
dissention
,
made
them
in
their
furies
to
deuoure
one
another
.
Is
there
any
thing
in
this
age
more
lamentable
or
remarquable
,
then
the
losse
of
the
Palatinate
?
or
is
there
any
thing
in
which
thy
villany
can
so
much
triumph
as
in
that
politique
defeature
?
why
,
the
lyes
which
thou
didst
vtter
to
abuse
the
Maiestie
of
England
,
and
to
breed
delayes
till
thy
Masters
designes
were
effected
,
were
so
curious
and
so
cunning
,
so
apte
to
catch
,
and
so
strong
in
the
holding
,
that
the
Deuill
(
who
was
formerly
the
author
of
lyes
)
hath
now
from
thee
taken
new
presidents
for
lying
.
I
would
here
speake
of
thy
Archduchesses
dissimulation
,
but
shee
is
a
great
Lady
,
and
their
errours
at
the
worst
are
weake
vertues
.
Therefore
to
thee
that
hast
lent
both
fuell
and
flame
to
all
the
mischiefes
of
Europe
,
and
that
art
now
bigge
in
labour
with
new
troubles
and
vexations
,
arise
and
collect
thy
spirits
,
become
once
hon●st
and
religious
,
let
thy
seruices
depend
vpon
good
and
necessarie
affaires
,
and
not
vpon
malicious
and
bloody
practises
:
for
behold
,
I
thy
Tormentor
will
neuer
be
absent
from
thine
elbow
,
and
whatsoeuer
thou
shalt
contriue
or
plot
for
the
hurt
of
Great
Britaine
,
I
with
the
helpe
of
the
holy
Angels
will
returne
vpon
thine
owne
bosome
and
the
bosome
of
thy
Countrie
,
for
the
good
of
heauen
and
earth
,
who
is
the
Protector
of
the
Innocent
;
hath
made
Royall
King
CHARLES
and
his
Throne
precious
in
his
sight
,
therefore
if
thou
desirest
to
liue
and
see
good
dayes
,
touch
not
his
annointed
and
doe
his
Prophets
no
hurt
.
At
these
words
,
the
glorious
aparition
(
wauing
his
sword
about
)
vanished
out
of
his
sight
,
and
the
poore
Don
as
if
awakened
from
a
deadly
or
mortall
sleepe
rose
vp
,
looking
about
with
such
gastly
amazednesse
as
affrighted
all
that
beheld
him
.
In
the
end
espying
his
owne
seruants
,
with
teares
in
his
eyes
,
terrour
in
his
heart
,
and
a
generall
trembling
ouer
all
his
body
,
he
went
into
his
Litter
,
and
returned
home
,
where
how
he
refresht
himselfe
,
how
hee
appeared
before
the
designed
Commissioners
,
and
how
he
answered
the
expectation
both
of
them
and
the
King
his
Master
,
shall
be
declared
vpon
the
next
returne
of
the
woman
Poste
which
passeth
betwixt
the
English
and
the
Spanish
Iesutis
.
