The
Oration
of
Sixtus
the
V.
as
it
was
vttered
in
the
consistory
at
Rome

COnsidering
in
my
minde
both
often
and
earnestly
,
&
bending
my
thoughts
to
muse
vpon
those
things
,
which
by
the
prouidence
of
GOD
are
lately
come
to
passe
:
me
thinks
I
may
rightly
vsurpe
that
saying
of
the
Prophet
Abacuk
,
A
worke
is
done
in
your
daies
which
no
man
will
beleeue
when
it
shall
be
reported
.
The
King
of
France
is
done
to
death
by
the
hands
of
a
Monke
,
for
vnto
this
it
fitly
may
be
applied
,
albeit
the
Prophet
spake
properly
of
another
thing
,
The
heauens
are
the
workes
of
thy
hands
;
and
againe
,
the
seauenth
day
hee
rested
from
all
the
workes
which
hee
had
made
:
but
where
hee
saith
,
It
is
done
,
it
is
vsuall
in
Scripture
to
vnderstand
such
a
thing
as
falleth
not
out
by
blinde
chance
,
by
hap
hazard
,
by
fortune
,
or
at
all
auentures
,
but
by
the
expresse
wil
,
prouidence
,
disposition
&
gouernement
of
God
:
as
when
our
Sauiour
saith
,
Yee
shall
doo
the
workes
which
J
doo
,
and
greater
then
these
shall
yee
doo
,
and
many
such
like
places
in
holy
Scripture
,
but
where
he
saith
it
was
already
done
,
he
speaketh
after
the
manner
of
other
Prophets
,
who
for
the
certainty
of
the
euent
,
are
wont
to
foretell
of
things
to
come
,
as
if
they
were
already
past
;
for
the
Philosophers
say
that
things
past
are
in
nature
of
necessity
,
things
present
in
a
state
of
now
being
,
and
things
to
come
to
be
merely
contingent
,
that
is
their
iudgement
;
in
regarde
of
which
necessitie
,
the
Prophet
Esa
foretelling
a
long
time
before
of
the
death
of
Christ
,
said
euen
as
after
it
was
saide
againe
,
hee
was
lead
as
a
sheepe
to
the
slaughter
,
and
as
a
Lambe
before
the
shearer
,
hee
opened
not
his
mouth
;
And
such
a
thing
is
this
,
whereof
wee
now
intreate
;
this
which
hath
happened
in
these
our
dayes
,
a
worke
famous
,
memorable
,
and
almost
incredible
,
a
worke
not
wrought
without
the
speciall
prouidence
and
gouernement
of
the
almightie
;
a
Monke
hath
slaine
a
King
,
France
,
in
the
middle
of
his
army
,
being
hedged
in
with
his
campe
and
garde
on
euery
side
,
which
in
deede
is
such
a
worke
,
and
so
brought
about
as
no
man
will
beleeue
it
when
it
shall
be
reported
,
and
the
posterity
perhaps
will
repute
it
for
a
fable
.
That
a
King
should
dye
or
should
be
slaine
,
men
are
easily
induced
to
thinke
it
,
but
that
he
should
thus
bee
cut
off
,
the
world
will
hardly
beleeue
it
;
as
that
Christ
should
bee
borne
of
a
woman
,
we
do
easily
acknowledge
it
,
but
if
ye
adde
further
that
he
was
borne
of
a
Virgin
,
my
humane
wit
cannot
subscribe
vnto
it
;
likewise
that
Christ
should
dye
it
is
as
easily
beleeued
,
but
being
dead
to
rise
againe
(
because
that
to
a
naturall
habit
once
wholy
lost
,
there
is
no
retiring
back
againe
)
in
the
reach
of
mans
capacity
it
is
vnpossible
,
and
by
consequence
incredible
;
that
a
man
out
of
his
sleepe
,
out
of
his
sicknes
,
out
of
a
sowne
,
or
of
an
extasie
should
recouer
himselfe
againe
(
for
that
in
the
course
of
nature
such
things
are
vsuall
)
in
humane
reason
we
accord
vnto
it
,
but
a
dead
man
to
rise
againe
in
the
iudgement
of
the
flesh
,
it
seemed
so
incredible
,
that
when
Paule
made
mention
thereof
amongst
the
Athenian
Philosophers
,
they
vpbraided
him
as
a
setter
forth
of
strange
Gods
,
and
other
(
as
Luke
reporteth
)
laughed
at
him
,
and
said
,
we
will
heare
thee
about
this
matter
againe
:
therefore
in
such
things
as
are
not
wont
to
fall
out
according
to
the
custome
of
nature
and
common
course
of
the
world
,
When
as
beholding
in
the
conflict
one
Elephant
more
conspicuous
then
the
rest
,
vpon
which
the
King
was
like
to
bee
,
hee
rushed
violently
amidst
the
route
of
the
enemies
,
and
making
way
on
both
sides
came
to
the
beast
,
gat
vnder
him
,
and
slew
him
with
his
sword
,
which
in
the
fall
fell
downe
vpon
him
,
and
crushed
him
to
death
;
and
heare
for
zeale
,
for
valor
of
minde
,
and
for
the
issue
of
the
thing
attempted
,
we
finde
some
resemblance
and
equality
,
but
for
the
rest
no
one
thing
comparable
.
Eleazar
was
a
profest
Souldier
,
trained
vp
in
armes
and
in
the
field
,
one
purposely
pickt
out
for
the
battaile
,
and
as
it
oft
falleth
out
inraged
with
boldnes
and
fury
of
minde
,
whereas
our
Monke
was
neuer
brought
vp
in
such
broyles
and
martiall
encounters
,
but
by
his
trade
of
life
so
abhorring
from
bloud
,
that
happely
hee
could
scarce
indure
to
see
himselfe
let
bloud
;
hee
knew
before
both
his
manner
of
death
and
place
of
buriall
,
as
that
more
like
one
swallowed
vp
into
the
bowels
,
then
pressed
down
by
the
fall
of
the
beast
he
should
be
intombed
in
his
owne
spoyles
:
but
this
man
was
to
looke
for
both
death
and
tortures
more
bitter
than
death
,
such
as
hee
could
not
dreame
of
,
and
little
doubted
he
to
lye
vnburied
:
besides
many
other
poyntes
of
difference
that
are
betweene
them
.
And
well
knowne
likewise
is
the
famous
story
of
the
holy
woman
Judith
,
Holofernes
,
then
generall
of
the
enemies
forces
,
and
in
the
end
she
did
effect
it
:
in
which
attempt
albeit
there
are
both
many
and
manifest
tokens
of
a
superior
direction
,
yet
in
the
death
of
this
King
,
and
deliuerance
of
the
citie
of
Paris
,
wee
may
see
far
greater
arguments
of
Gods
prouidence
,
in
as
much
as
in
the
iudgement
of
man
,
it
was
more
difficult
and
impossible
than
that
,
for
that
holy
woman
opened
her
purpose
to
some
of
the
gouernours
,
and
in
their
presence
,
and
by
their
sufferance
passed
through
both
the
gates
and
garde
of
the
city
,
so
that
she
could
not
be
in
danger
of
any
search
or
inquisition
,
which
during
the
time
of
assault
,
is
wont
to
be
so
straight
,
Paris
,
which
a
little
before
they
had
surprised
whatsoeuer
Monkes
they
tooke
,
they
either
slaughtered
,
or
else
most
cruelly
intreated
;
Iudith
was
a
woman
,
therefore
no
whit
hated
,
and
yet
often
examined
,
neither
carried
she
ought
about
her
which
might
indanger
her
,
but
this
man
was
a
Monke
,
and
therefore
detested
,
and
came
very
suspiciously
with
a
knife
prouided
for
the
feate
,
and
that
not
closed
vp
in
a
sheath
(
which
had
been
more
excusable
)
but
altogether
naked
and
hid
in
his
sleeue
,
which
had
they
bolted
out
,
Paris
,
which
then
we
vnderstoode
to
be
many
wayes
in
great
perplexity
and
distresse
,
as
also
to
auenge
the
most
heynous
misdeedes
of
the
King
,
and
to
take
him
out
of
the
world
,
by
so
vnhappy
and
reprochfull
a
death
:
&
truely
we
did
heretofore
with
some
griefe
,
foretel
that
it
would
in
time
fal
out
,
that
as
he
was
the
last
of
his
house
,
so
was
he
like
to
come
to
some
strange
&
shamefull
end
,
which
not
onely
the
Cardinalls
of
Ioyeuse
,
of
Lenoncort
,
and
Paris
,
but
the
Embassadour
likewise
,
which
then
was
liedger
with
vs
can
wel
auouch
I
spake
,
for
why
,
we
cal
not
the
dead
,
but
men
aliue
to
witnes
of
our
words
,
which
all
of
them
full
well
remember
:
notwithstanding
,
howsoeuer
wee
are
now
enforced
to
pleade
against
this
haples
King
,
wee
doo
in
no
wise
touch
the
Kingdome
and
royall
state
of
France
,
which
as
we
haue
heretofore
,
so
still
hereafter
we
will
prosecute
with
all
fatherly
affection
and
honorable
regarde
,
but
this
we
haue
spoken
of
the
kings
person
onely
,
whose
infortunate
end
hath
depriued
him
of
all
those
rites
,
which
this
holy
seate
,
the
mother
of
all
the
faithfull
,
and
specially
of
christian
Princes
,
is
wont
to
performe
to
Emperours
and
Kings
after
their
decease
,
which
for
him
likewise
wee
had
solemnised
,
but
that
the
Scripture
in
such
a
case
dooth
flatly
forbid
vs
.
There
is
(
saith
Saint
Iohn
)
a
sinne
vnto
death
,
J
say
not
for
that
that
any
man
shall
pray
,
which
may
be
vnderstoode
either
of
the
sinne
it selfe
,
to
him
which
sinneth
against
the
holy
Ghost
,
there
is
no
remission
either
in
this
world
,
or
in
the
world
to
come
,
where
hee
maketh
three
sortes
of
sinne
,
against
the
Father
,
against
the
Sonne
,
and
against
the
holy
Ghost
,
the
two
former
are
not
so
grieuous
but
pardonable
,
but
the
third
is
not
to
be
forgiuen
:
al
which
difference
(
as
the
schoolemen
out
of
the
Scriptures
deliuer
it
)
ariseth
out
of
the
diuersitie
of
the
properties
,
which
are
seuerally
ascribed
to
the
seuerall
persons
of
the
trinity
:
for
albeit
as
there
is
the
same
essence
,
so
there
is
the
same
power
,
wisdome
and
goodnes
of
all
the
persons
(
as
we
learne
out
of
the
creede
of
Athanasius
,
when
hee
saith
the
father
is
omnipotent
,
the
Sonne
omnipotent
,
and
the
holy
Ghost
omnipotent
)
yet
by
way
of
attribution
vnto
the
Father
is
ascribed
power
,
to
the
Sonne
wisdome
,
and
to
the
holy
Ghost
loue
,
each
whereof
as
they
are
called
properties
are
so
proper
to
euery
person
,
as
they
cannot
be
put
vpon
another
,
and
by
the
contraries
of
these
properties
,
wee
come
to
knowe
the
difference
and
weight
of
sinne
;
the
contrarie
to
power
(
which
is
the
attribute
of
the
Father
)
is
weakenes
,
so
that
whatsoeuer
we
commit
through
infirmitie
and
weakenes
of
our
nature
,
may
be
said
to
be
committed
against
the
Father
:
the
contrarie
of
wisdome
is
ignorance
,
through
which
when
a
man
offendeth
,
he
is
saide
to
offend
against
the
Sonne
,
so
that
those
sinnes
which
are
committed
either
through
mans
frailty
or
ignorance
,
may
easily
obteine
a
pardon
:
but
the
third
which
is
loue
,
Nauarra
,
a
pronounced
and
excommunicate
heretick
,
and
euen
at
the
last
point
and
gaspe
,
he
coniured
both
him
and
such
like
as
were
about
him
,
to
take
vengeance
of
those
whome
he
suspected
to
be
the
authors
of
his
death
:
for
these
and
such
like
manifest
tokens
of
impenitencie
,
our
pleasure
is
that
there
shall
no
dead
mans
rites
be
solemnised
for
him
,
not
for
that
we
doo
in
any
sort
preiudice
the
secret
iudgement
and
mercy
of
God
toward
him
,
who
was
able
according
to
his
good
pleasure
,
euen
at
the
very
breathing
out
of
his
soule
,
to
turne
his
heart
and
haue
mercy
vpon
him
,
but
this
we
speak
according
to
that
which
came
into
the
outward
apparance
.
Our
most
bountifull
Sauiour
,
grant
that
others
being
admonished
by
this
fearefull
example
of
Gods
iustice
,
may
returne
into
the
way
of
life
,
and
that
which
hee
hath
thus
in
mercy
begun
,
let
him
in
great
kindnes
continew
and
accomplish
,
as
we
hope
he
will
,
that
we
may
yeeld
vnto
him
immortall
thankes
,
for
deliuering
his
Church
from
so
great
mischieues
and
dangers
.
Dixit
insipiens
.
And
hauing
thus
definitely
spoken
,
he
dismissed
the
Consistorie
with
a
blessing
.
O
terque
quaterque
beati
.
A
reply
against
the
former
Apologie
.
COnsidering
in
my
minde
both
often
and
earnestly
,
and
bending
my
thoughts
to
muse
vppon
those
things
,
which
by
the
instinct
of
Satan
are
lately
come
to
light
,
me
thinkes
I
may
rightly
inuert
that
saying
of
the
Prophet
Abacuk
:
A
word
is
spoken
in
our
daies
which
no
man
will
beleeue
that
it
should
be
vttered
.
The
King
of
France
is
done
to
death
by
the
hands
of
a
Monke
;
a
deede
prophane
and
irreligious
:
but
yet
I
speake
of
a
sinne
exceeding
that
,
the
deede
is
remitted
,
excused
,
defended
,
commended
,
extolled
,
and
that
by
the
mouth
of
the
Pope
;
heare
O
heauens
,
and
hearken
O
inhabitants
of
the
earth
,
whether
such
a
thing
hath
bin
in
your
daies
,
or
yet
in
the
daies
of
your
fathers
:
When
I
call
to
minde
the
fact
of
the
Monk
,
I
detest
and
abhorre
him
;
but
when
I
heare
the
voyce
of
the
Pope
,
as
one
that
had
seene
a
monster
I
stand
in
a
maze
and
wonder
at
him
:
and
surely
good
cause
there
is
to
wonder
.
I
thought
it
had
been
incident
to
man
onely
to
commit
sinne
,
but
to
commend
sinne
I
iudged
it
proper
only
to
the
diuell
:
Mat.
24.12
.
therfore
Satan
auaunt
:
but
these
are
the
latter
dayes
,
&
iniquitie
must
needes
abound
.
Was
it
not
enough
to
disturbe
the
common
peace
,
to
alienate
the
hearts
of
the
Commons
,
to
stirre
vp
a
restles
and
factious
Rebell
,
to
muster
out
a
league
of
mutinous
and
riotous
conspirators
,
to
discountenance
and
ouerbeare
a
lawfull
King
,
to
weaken
,
to
disauthorize
,
and
last
of
al
most
furiously
to
murder
him
,
but
presently
they
which
stand
in
the
gate
must
laugh
at
it
,
the
drunkards
make
songs
of
it
,
and
thou
thy selfe
Sixtus
like
a
parasite
vpon
a
stage
applaudest
vnto
it
,
factum
pol
optime
,
there
,
there
,
so
should
it
goe
:
but
accursed
be
they
which
reioyce
in
iniquitie
,

.
and
woe
be
to
them
which
call
euill
good
.
Notwithstanding
,
howsoeuer
the
Apologie
of
so
hatefull
a
fact
were
execrable
,
yet
if
it
had
bin
vndertaken
but
by
some
smooth
tongd
Iesuit
or
pettie
Priest
,
or
had
but
one
Frier
clawed
another
,
I
could
in
some
sort
haue
suppressed
my
griefe
with
silence
:
for
what
is
it
that
hath
thus
incited
me
a
forrainer
to
the
countrey
,
a
straunger
to
the
cause
(
saue
as
it
generally
concerneth
the
whole
Church
)
what
is
it
(
I
say
)
that
thus
hath
prickt
mee
foorth
to
so
austere
a
censure
and
contradiction
,
but
for
that
I
find
the
fact
excused
where
specially
it
ought
to
haue
been
condemned
,
for
that
I
finde
it
commended
where
it
ought
to
haue
béen
seuerely
punished

for
that
no

then
Sixtus
himselfe
,
the
Arch-priest
and
Prelate
of
the
Romish
Sinagogue
,
the
Uicegerent
of
Christ
,
the
porter
of
heauen
,
the
Supporter
of
all
Christendome
hath
vndertaken
so
damnable
a
defence
.
This
is
it
(
I
say
)
which
hath
made
me
a
confuter
,
which
how
well
I
haue
performed
,
or
whether
I
haue
performed
it
or
no
it
mattereth
not
,
I
haue
sufficiently
confuted
whatsoeuer
I
haue

published

face
a
Poet
to
stand

it selfe
at
a

sight

shew
it selfe

&
let
me
speake
it
without
offence
,
in
a
case
so
weightie
and
grieuous
,
from
a
person
so
learned
and
famous
,
I
haue
not
heard
a
more
artles
and
slight
defence
,
wherein
if
you
looke
for
proofes
it
is
drie
and
barren
;
if
for
stile
,
it
is
harsh
,
vnpleasant
and
vntrimmed
;
if
for
method
,
confused
and
independent

loose

impertinent

not
a

word
in
a
whole
Oration

and
yet
sometimes
I
heare
him
discoursing
like
a
graue
Diuine
profoundly
;
sometime
florishing
like
an
Orator
with
Tropes
and
figures
brauely
:
sometime
as
one
inspired
with
a
propheticall
spirit
diuinely
:
sometime
me
thinks
I
heare
the
ghost
of
Aquinas
very
scholastically
:
sometime
one
quoting
Scriptures
learnedly
,
and
at
the
shutting
vp
of
all
,
one
praying
like
a
Saint
deuoutly
:
but
the
diuell
had
Scripture
,
Caiphas
did
prophecie
,
and
Iudas
made
many
a
prayer
;

what
is
that
to
come
neere
to
God
with
thy
lips
,
giue
me
thy
heart

In
the
front
and
entrance
of
this
painted
processe
to
stirre
vp
the
mindes
of
the
hearers
not
so
much
to
attention
as
to
admiration
,
a
place
in
Abacuk
(
to
vse
but
his
owne
phrase
)
is
vsurped
,
A
worke
is
done
in
your
dayes
,
which
no
man
will
credit
when
it
shall
be
reported
.
The
application
whereof
if
it
poynted
to
the
impossibilitie
of
the
work
,
in
the
sequell
of
this
discourse
I
wil
make
it
plaine
that
it
was
both
false
and
friuolous
,
and
to
compare
it
with
the
incomprehensible
mysterie
of
Christes
incarnation
,
I
tell
thee
(
Sixtus
)
it
was
blasphemous
:
but
if
thou
didst
onely
respect
the
rarenes
,
the
foulenes
,
and
deformitie
of
the
worke
,
then
mightest
thou
iustly
say
,
A
worke
is
done
in
our
dayes
,
and
who
will
beleeue
our
report
?
Such
a
barbarous
murther
committed
vpon
the
sacred
person
of
a
Prince
,
Scythians
and
Cannibals
will
hardly
beleeue
it
,
and
the
posteritie
perhaps
will
repute
it
for
a
fable
:
and
so
in
regard
of
that
detestation
,
which
euery
man
at
the
first
hearing
will
conceaue
,
I
graunt
it
was
a
worke
incredible
:
but
when
I
call
to
minde
on
the
other
side
,
and
consider
the
Authors
of
the
worke
,
when
I
heare
that
the
rebellious
and
bloud-thirstie
Leaguers
had
contriued
it
,
that
Sixtus
himselfe
the
high
Priest
of
Rome
had
dispensed
for
it
,
and
that
a
murtherous
and
wretchles
Iacobine
did
performe
it
,
then
all
is
credible
and
probable
enough
,
we
are
easily
drawne
to
beleeue
it
.
And
surely
I
see
nothing
therein
but
as
in
a
matter
of
ordinary
euent
,
nothing
so
exceeding
the
reach
of
mans
capacitie
,
nothing
so
declining
from
the
common
course
of
nature
and
of
the
world
,
for
which
you
should
compare
it
with
the
incarnation
and
resurrection
of
Christ
,
and
in
euery
leafe
to
cry
out
,
A
worke
is
done
in
our
dayes
,
and
who
will
beleeue
our
report
?
Nay
rather
who
will
not
beleeue
it
?
It
is
no
strange
or
vnusuall
thing
to
see
your
hands
distayned
with
bloud
,
your
lawes
are
written
in
bloud
,
your
rising
vp
in
armes
it
is
for
bloud
,
your
courtes
of
Inquisition
are
for
bloud
you
muse
,
you
meditate
,
you
hunger
and
thirst
for
nought
but
bloud
;
or
if
that
adde
any
wonder
to
the
worke
,
or
make
it
more
incredible
that
it
was
wrought
in
the
bloud
of
a
King
,
yet
for
that
the
assiduity
of
euery
thing
taketh
away
the
admiration
,
I
cease
to
wonder
at
that
to
;
indeed
the
elder
adges
did
so
admire
and
reuerence
the
person
of
a
King
,
that
but
to
touch
the
Lords
annoynted
was
irreligious
and
prophane
;

but
see
the
calamitie
of
our
times
,
wherein
there
is
nothing
more
vsuallie
thought
of
,
with
lesse
remorse
attempted
,
or
with
more
boldnes
atteyned
then
the
slaughter
of
Kings
and
Princes
;
it
beseemeth
not
the
Sea
of
Rome
to
shoote
at
euery
shrub
,
they
haue
learned
to
ayme
at
fayrer
markes
,
they
I
say
,
whose
practicall
and
pragnatical
heads
,
can
speculate
of
nothing
else
but
Kings
and
Kingdomes
,
to
dispose
,
depose
,
to
place
,
and
displace
,
what
men
,
or
by
what
meanes
they
like
or
list
,
and
as
easily
they
proceede
to
practise
vpon
a
Prince
,
as
vpon
the
head
of
a
meaner
man
;
the
bleeding
wounds
of
Orange
and
Conde
yet
crying
for
vengeance
from
Heauen
,
can
witnes
well
that
these
practises
are
no
nouelty
,
or
if
they
list
but
recount
the
sundry
and
successeles
attempts
,
against
the
Crowne
and
person
of
our
Soueraigne
Elizabeth
,
they
must
sound
a
retrait
,
and
cease
for
shame
to
cry
,
A
worke
is
done
in
our
dayes
,
past
beliefe
,
impossible
,
incredible
;
but
what
is
it
then
that
maketh
this
worke
so
incredible
,
so
strange
and
wonderfull
?
was
it
,
for
that
it
was
atchieued
by
a
Monke
?
Indeed
it
was
a
worke
vnfitting
that
profession
,
but
neither
was
it
in
regarde
of
nature
vnpossible
,
neither
in
regarde
of
their
common
practise
strange
or
vnprobable
;
for
why
?
His
accesse
being
as
free
(
as
it
was
too
free
)
his
minde
being
as
malicious
,
and
his
toole
as
sharpe
as
another
mans
,
I
see
no
reason
why
hee
might
not
strike
as
deepe
a
stroake
;
and
yet
no
rule
in
nature
violate
;
but
neither
was
it
so
strange
or
vnwonted
,
but
that
your
diuelish
practises
doo
daily
patterne
and
match
it
;
who
was
it
that
tempered
and
presented
an
empoysoned
cup
to
Iohn
King
of
England
,
but
Simon
of
Swinstead
a
Cistercian
Monk
,
of
the
order
of
the
Bernardines
?
Who
made
away
young
Charles
,
the
Sonne
of
Phillip
now
King
of
Spayne
:
but
the
accursed
Friers
of
the
order
of
Saint
Iherome
?
For
how
would
they
spare
to
suck
the
bloud
of
the
Sonne
,
who
imposed
it
as
a
penance
vpon
the
Father
,
to
suffer
a
veyne
in
his
body
bee
cut
,
to
voyde
out
a
little
heretick
bloud
?
Or
tell
me
else
,
how
oft
of
late
your
predecessors
and
your selfe
,
haue
hallowed
the
hands
of
Priests
and
Iesuites
to
offer
violence
,
and
most
vnreuerently
to
rampe
vpon
the
person
of
our
Queene
?
why
therefore
(
Sixtus
)
albeit
the
worke
were
odious
and
accursed
,
yet
was
there
neither
wonder
nor
nouelty
in
it
,
onely
this
was
rare
and
wonderfull
to
heare
,
that
Sixtus
should
be
a
patron
and
defender
of
it
.
But
let
vs
proceede
and
come
to
his
narration
:
A
Monke
(
saith
Sixtus
)
hath
slaine
a
King
:
Make
roome
good
people
,
heare
comes
a
figure
;
A
Monke
hath
slaine
a
King
,
not
a
painted
King
,
where
note
that
Kings
are
of
two
sorts
,
either
painted
Kings
,
or
liuing
Kings
:
not
one
figured
out
vpon
a
peece
of
paper
,
or
vpon
a
wall
,
where
wee
learne
agayne
to
our
great
comfort
,
that
Kings
are
paynted
two
wayes
,
either
vpon
a
peece
of
paper
,
or
vpon
a
wall
,
but
he
hath
slaine
the
King
of
France
,
in
the
middle
of
his
armie
,
hedged
in
,
and
garded
on
euery
side
.
Claudite
iam
riuos
,
sat
dixit
;
And
brauely
was
it
spoken
,
but
alacke
that
such
a
figure
should
haue
such
luck
.
This
figure
in
rethorick
we
call
a
Preoccupation
,
the
speciall
vse
and
grace
whereof
is
to
preuent
an
obiection
,
and
yet
not
euery
one
,
but
such
as
iustly
might
arise
,
or
els
to
preuent
a
false
vnderstanding
of
our
words
,
and
yet
not
euery
one
,
but
such
as
the
hearer
might
easily
fall
into
,
as
when
the
Lord
by
the
mouth
of
Amos
had
sayd
,
I
will
send
a
famine
into
the
land
,
Amos.
8.11
least
the
people
should
grossely
vnderstand
him
of
a
bodily
famine
,
as
easily
they
might
,
he
addeth
further
,
not
a
famine
of
bread
,
nor
a
thirst
for
water
,
but
of
hearing
the
word
of
the
Lord
:
but
was
euer
man
so
fantasticall
,
as
when
Sixtus
had
sayd
,
A
Monke
hath
slaine
a
King
,
presently
to
conceaue
of
a
peece
of
paper
,
or
of
an
Image
,
or
of
a
picture
vpon
a
wall
?
But
these
are
your
popelike
Apologies
,
with
friuolous
trifles
and
toyes
impertinent
to
delude
our
patience
,
to
abuse
our
expectation
.
And
yet
when
I
call
to
minde
againe
the
Author
of
this
Apologie
,
and
considering
it
was
his
holines
which
wrote
it
,
I
cannot
say
it
was
altogether
needles
,
for
well
wee
vnderstand
your
rage
and
furie
to
bee
such
,
that
many
times
when
ye
cannot
wreake
your selues
vppon
the
man
,
ye
coape
and
encounter
with
his
shadowe
,
ye
practise
vpon
his
picture
;
we
knowe
it
(
Sixtus
)
we
knowe
it
well
whose
monuments
ye
haue
mangled
,
whose
pictures
ye
haue
martyred
,
whose
Sepulchers
ye
haue
defaced
,
whose
bones
ye
haue
burnt
,
euen
like
a
fearce
and
angrie
dogge
,
which
because
he
either
cannot
or
dare
not
set
vpon
the
man
,
for
very
madnes
bites
vpon
a
stone
:
and
happely
in
such
a
heate
your
Monke
might
haue
crucified
the
picture
of
his
King
,
or
els
at
vnawares
he
might
haue
spoyled
the
Image
or
sacred
Idoll
of
some
deceased
Prince
;
for
Images
are
men
,
and
Idols
are
a
kind
of
people
to
.
A
stranger
trauailing
sometime
to
Rome
,
and
seeing
their
Churches
,
and
houses
and
streates
,
and
euery
corner
full
of
Images
,
reported
at
his
returne
that
Rome
had
two
sorts
of
people
,
Men
and
Images
;
and
so
in
regard
of
these
double
senses
that
preoccupation
was
not
altogether
amisse
,
A
Monke
hath
slaine
a
King
,
not
painted
or
pictured
vpon
a
wall
,
but
the
King
of
France
,
in
the
middle
of
his
armie
.
But
let
vs
descend
vnto
the
proofes
of
this
Apologie
,
the
arguments
whereof
for
that
they
be
entangled
one
within
another
,
we
will
for
our
better
proceeding
reduce
into
order
,
and
prosecute
them
as
seuerally
and
distinctly
as
we
can
.
In
euery
place
is
vrged
and
much
ado
is
made
about
the
prouidence
of
God
,
the
often
inforcing
whereof
to
what
conclusion
it
directly
tendeth
,
I
do
ingenuously
confesse
it
,
I
cannot
sée
,
but
what
it
should
prooue
&
hath
in
charge
to
prooue
it self
expressely
sheweth
.
It
was
a
work
memorable
(
sayth
Sixtus
)
and
neuer
wrought
without
the
speciall
prouidence
of
the
almightie
.
And
agayne
,
We
may
not
referre
so
notable
and
straunge
a
worke
to
any
other
cause
,
then
to
the
speciall
prouidence
of
God
.
And
agayne
,
These
are
all
so
manifest
tokens
of
Gods
especiall
prouidence
,
as
no
exception
can
be
taken
against
them
.
Et
vitulo
tu
dignus
:
Why
(
Sixtus
)
is
any
man
so
godlesse
to
deny
the
prouidence
of
God
euen
in
those
actions
which
are
of
the
lowest
and
lightest
accompt
?
I
had
thought
that
his
prouidence
had
extended
it selfe
euen
to
Sparrowes
,
Luk.
16.6.7
and
that
not
a
haire
had
fallen
from
our
heads
but
by
his
prouidence
:
and
who
knoweth
not
that
his
eye
doth
so
behold
the
mountaines
,
that
not
a
moate
escapeth
his
sight
,
and
that
his
care
is
so
great
ouer
the
greatest
things
,
that
it
is
no
whit
lesse
ouer
the
least
,
onely
Sixtus
(
I
will
not
say
denieth
it
)
but
in
a
sort
calleth
it
into
question
.
When
the
Scripture
speaketh
of
a
thing
done
(
sayth
Sixtus
)
it
vseth
to
vnderstand
not
such
a
thing
as
is
sayd
to
fall
out
by
chance
,
by
haphazard
,
or
at
auenture
,
but
that
which
falleth
out
by
the
expresse
will
,
prouidence
,
disposition
,
and
gouernment
of
God
.
Where
we
are
to
note
that
some
things
fall
out
by
chance
,
and
at
auenture
,
and
some
by
the
will
and
prouidence
of
God
.
Thus
to
serue
our
turnes
God
shall
gouerne
when
wee
lift
,
and
when
wee
lift
Fortune
shall
be
a
God
,
Tefacimus
fortuna
deam
,
and
prouidence
shall
bee
tyed
to
those
actions
which
we
please
to
grace
and
worship
with
a
wonder
:
O
times
and
manners
,
a
Turke
would
not
haue
sayd
so
much
,
an
Atheist
could
haue
sayd
no
more
.
But
come
wee
to
the
poynt
:
It
was
not
done
without
the
speciall
prouidence
and
disposition
of
God
;
how
then
?
I
hope
the
act
is
not
thereby
iustified
:
for
if
it
be
,
then
let
Iudas
triumph
as
a
Saint
in
heauen
,
because
his
treacherie
was
by
prouidence
,
because
the
Prophet
sayd
before
in
the
person
of
Christ
,
that
he
which
did
eate
bread
with
him
had
lift
vp
his
heele
against
him
.
Psal.
41.9
.
Then
let
Sixtus
call
a
Consistorie
,
and
publish
his
Apologie
in
defence
of
those
disturbers
,
agaynst
whom
Saint
Iude
inueyed
,
Iud.

because
they
were
appoynted
by
prouidence
,
and
were
ordayned
of
old
vnto
that
condemnation
.
Indeede
if
God
did
winke
at
the
wickednesse
of
sinners
,
as
neither
regarding
nor
disposing
,
nor
foreseeing
their
abominations
,
I
should
conclude
with
Sixtus
,
that
whersoeuer
there
were
any
print
of
his
prouidence
,
the
action
might
immediatly
be
iustified
and
commended
,
but
well
I
see
his
finger
mouing
,
and
his
prouidence
to
haue
a
sway
and
direction
euen
in
the
course
of
things
vnlawfull
.
Shall
there
be
(
sayth
Amos
)
an
euill
in
a
citie
,
Amos.
5.6
.
and
the
Lord
hath
not
done
it
?
not
charging
God
to
bee
a
principall
agent
and
author
of
euill
things
:
for
God
is
not
the
author
of
euill
,
but
onely
to
be
a
permitter
:
&
so
as
vnlesse
he
permit
,
the
diuell
himselfe
can
do
nothing
.
But
ye
will
say
that
Amos
speaketh
not
of
euill
workes
,
but
of
euill
plagues
,
and
so
God
may
be
a
principall
author
.
But
then
God
sayth
in
another
place
,
I
haue
hardened
Pharaoes
hart
:
Exod.
10.1
.
that
is
,
I
haue
by
prouidence
permitted
the
diuell
to
harden
it
:
so
did
hee
by
prouidence
deliuer
vp
his
sonne
into
the
hands
of
Pilate
,
and
so
did
hee
put
the
life
of
a
worthie
and
lawfull
King
into
the
hands
of
a
base
and
butcherly
Frier
.
But
what
of
this
?
I
graunt
these
actions
in
regard
of
Gods
secret
counsaile
were
most
iust
and
lawfull
:
and
yet
in
respect
of
the
authors
who
had
no
right
or
reason
to
execute
them
,
I
say
they
were
iniurious
and
vnnaturall
.
Therefore
listen
(
Sixtus
)
and
learne
of
me
to
drawe
an
argument
from
Gods
prouidence
.
When
I
see
that
God
by
the
hands
and
ministerie
of
men
hath
wrought
some
straunge
and
wonderfull
worke
,
I
presently
conclude
,
that
in
regard
of
him
the
worke
was
iust
,
because
euen
so
it
was
his
good
will
and
pleasure
:
but
for
the
ministers
and
instruments
of
the
worke
,
except
I
see
that
they
had
right
to
do
it
,
that
their
end
was
honest
and
lawfull
in
it
,
and
that
they
proceeded
by
no
indirect
meanes
vnto
it
,
I
am
not
bound
to
iustifie
or
commend
them
:
for
then
were
euery
theefe
and
murtherer
acquit
at
the
barre
,
because
he
had
to
pleade
that
whatsoeuer
he
did
was
ordered
by
prouidence
:
and
so
the
prouidence
of
God
shall
not
onely
serue
for
a
stale
to
iustifie
all
villanies
alreadie
committed
,
but
to
further
and
helpe
out
whatsoeuer
we
shall
conceaue
or
contriue
hereafter
.
But
lift
a
while
:
It
was
not
onely
done
(
sayth
he
)
by
the
prouidence
and
appoyntment
,
but
by
the
assistance
of
God
:
blasphemous
as
thou
art
,
I
blush
to
heare
thee
:
was
it
not
enough
to
defend
a
bold
and
shameles
murtherer
,
but
must
thou
also
bring
in
God
as
accessarie
and
assistant
to
the
fact
?
I
graunt
that
GOD
permitted
him
:
but
how
shall
I
knowe
,
or
whence
doest
thou
gather
that
his
helping
hand
was
present
with
him
?
Didst
thou
sée
the
spirit
of
God
descending
downe
vpon
him
?
Thou
liest
(
Sixtus
)
we
sawe
when
Iuppiter
in
a
showre
of
gold
assayed
,
and
prooued
,
&
pearced
him
,
with
whom
it
was
as
easie
to
sinke
through
a
Friers
cowle
,
as
through
the
tyles
of
a
fenced
and
garded
tower
.
Indeed
it
was
a
spirit
that
mooued
him
,
but
such
a
one
as
mooued
Iudas
to
betray
Christ
;
not
the
spirit
descending
in
the
shape
of
a
Doue
,
for
that
spirit
induceth
to
meekenes
,
and
not
to
murther
:
Math.
3.16
.
neither
was
it
the
spirit
which
sat
vpon
the
Apostles
in
the
shape
of
clouen
tongues
;
Act.
2.3
.
for
that
spirit
did
so
appeare
to
poynt
out
a
Churchman
his
weapon
,
and
to
shewe
that
he
might
strike
with
no
weapon
saue
with
the
tongue
:
Mat.
26.52
.
and
if
it
happened
that
Peter
should
drawe
out
his
sword
(
as
the
Monke
did
his
knife
)
then
presently
a
voice
was
pronounced
,
put
vp
thy
sword
into
thy
sheath
:
but
that
could
take
no
hold
of
the
Monke
(
sayth
Sixtus
)
for
his
knife
was
without
a
sheath
:
In
a
word
,
it
was
no
celestiall
inspiration
,
it
was
not
the
abundance
of
the
spirit
,
but
the
spirt
of
abundance
which
mooued
him
,
the
onely
argument
which
perswaded
Iudas
,
we
will
giue
thee
thirtie
peeces
of
siluer
,
Mat.
26.11
.
and
he
deliuered
them
the
man
:
for
how
should
wee
thinke
that
he
was
stirred
vp
to
this
act
by
any
secret
instinct
and
zeale
of
conscience
,
in
whose
life
did
neuer
appeare
any
sparke
of
conscience
or
religion
,
but
all
as
an
vndeuout
and
vnordered
Atheist
;
for
humane
Sciences
or
diuine
speculation
nothing
was
in
him
admirable
,
nothing
commendable
,
nay
nothing
vulgar
,
but
as
a
most
rude
and
vnlettered
idiot
,
inferiour
to
the
lowest
of
that
monasticall
societie
;
for
life
and
conuersation
(
I
shame
to
tell
it
)
what
was
he
but
a
most
impure
and
lecherous
Satyr
?
how
oft
was
he
traced
and
found
,
and
fetcht
out
of
the
Stewes
?
how
was
hee
publikely
chastised
for
his
vnchastitie
?
And
to
shewe
that
at
the
first
he
was
enforst
to
that
profession
,
how
oft
did
he
assay
to
deliuer
himselfe
by
flight
,
euen
as
it
were
repenting
his
former
vowe
,
groaning
vnder
the
burthen
of
his
profession
,
and
still
crying
,
Cupio
dissolui
,
I
desire
to
become
a
newe
man
,
looking
alwayes
backe
to
the
lay
mans
life
as
Lots
wife
did
to
Sodom
,
and
in
a
manner
wishing
hee
had
béen
turned
into
a
piller
of
Salt
when
he
was
first
made
a
Frier
,
and
yet
this
Monke
,
this
Frier
Clement
was
the
man
,
the
man
I
say
vnto
so
foule
a
worke
instructed
,
inspired
,
nay
assisted
by
God
.
But
gesse
agayne
and
tell
me
,
how
knowe
ye
that
God
was
assistant
to
the
worke
?
Because
forsooth
he
had
so
promised
to
set
at
libertie
the
citie
of
Paris
,
and
to
make
ye
beholden
to
him
,
and
to
yeeld
him
immortall
thankes
for
deliuering
the
Church
from
so
great
dangers
.
But
soft
a
while
,
your
Church
is
not
yet
deliuered
,
nor
yet
is
Paris
set
at
libertie
;
nay
neuer
was
it
in
such
miserie
:
but
were
all
as
well
as
ye
wish
,
yet
see
I
no
reason
why
GOD
should
be
drawne
in
as
accessary
to
the
murther
of
the
King
,
considering
that
no
act
is
iustified
by
the
successe
.
And
certainly
I
can
not
see
what
cause
ye
haue
to
boast
of
successe
,
or
of
any
great
deliuerance
by
his
death
,
since
whose
death
all
your
forces
haue
been
forceles
,
your
attempts
and
intentations
fruitles
,
and
whatsoeuer
ye
haue
taken
in
hand
it
goeth
backward
:
so
farre
was
God
from
furthering
you
in
the
murther
,
that
euen
for
the
murther
he
hath
scourged
and
afflicted
you
euer
since
;
which
vndoubtedly
if
he
had
furthered
,
as
intending
by
it
to
worke
out
your
deliuerance
and
release
(
as
vainly
ye
boast
)
then
neuer
had
he
installed
Nauarra
,
a
profest
enemie
to
your
practises
and
procéedings
:
but
your
miserie
was
there
but
begun
where
ye
thought
it
had
béen
ended
;
bethinke
with
your selues
,
how
ye
are
now
become
defenders
,
who
before
that
murther
were
the
onely
assailants
and
besiedgers
:
consider
how
often
ye
are
now
inforst
and
driuen
into
holes
,
whose
vncontroled
rebellions
and
tumultuous
assemblies
,
all
France
before
was
hardly
able
to
holde
:
consider
since
that
time
how
many
thousands
of
ye
haue
béen
slaughtered
,
how
your
Nobilitie
hath
declined
,
your
Catholike
townes
haue
reuolted
and
recoyled
:
remember
since
that
time
the
successefull
attempts
of
the
King
against
you
,
his
victorie
at
Diepe
,
his
Ashwednesday
triumph
,
his
entring
into
the
Suburbs
at
Paris
,
the
conquests
obteyned
in
the
countryes
of
Vendosme
,
of
Mayenne
,
and
almost
all
Normandie
:
remember
if
ye
can
with
shame
,
the
shamefull
retreit
of
Parma
,
the
glorious
recouerie
of
Corbeil
,
which
after
it
was
with
18
,
Cannons
the
space
of
fiue
long
weekes
battered
,
besiedged
,
and
in
the
ende
surrendred
,
yet
was
it
in
a
trice
regayned
and
repossessed
by
the
King
;
I
may
not
speake
of
halfe
.
Remember
how
but
yesterday
were
wrested
from
your
hands
the
townes
of
Louuiers
,
of
Noyan
,
of
Mont-morillon
,
and
Chiuigny
:
remember
how
since
that
murther
your
capital
Priests
and
Cardinalls
,
sworne
liedgemen
to
the
Apostolick
sea
,
haue
vnited
and
knit
themselues
against
you
;
as
namely
,
the
Cardinall
d'
Gondi
,
the
Cardinall
of
Armignac
,
the
Cardinall
of
Lenoncourt
,
with
the
yong
Cardinall
d'
Vendome
,
brother
to
the
late
Prince
of
Conde
:
remember
how
of
late
your
great
God
Pan
,
Gregorie
the
14.
now
sweying
the
Scepter
,
and
sitting
vpon
the
Papall
seate
is
debard
and
excommunicate
from
all
Apostolicall
iurisdiction
,
and
how
in
his
stead
a
Primate
in
France
is
created
,
how
his
Bulls
were
burnt
,
how
his
Legat
Laudriano
by
a
bitter
summon
was
cited
to
appearance
;
which
things
no
doubt
are
strange
and
vnheard
of
,
and
portend
to
Babylon
some
speedie
ruine
and
desolation
.
Thus
God
deliuereth
Paris
,
releaseth
your
Church
,
furthereth
your
attempts
,
and
fauoureth
your
murthers
.
You
tell
vs
a
long
tale
of
Iudith
and
Eleazar
,
out
of
which
examples
you
streine
and
striue
to
bring
some
matter
of
commendation
to
your
Monke
:
and
albeit
I
will
not
vtterly
condemne
so
great
aduentures
vndertaken
for
the
Church
;
yet
could
I
haue
wished
in
Iudith
an
honester
meanes
of
proceeding
:
and
truth
to
say
,
I
see
in
Eleazar
neither
meanes
nor
purpose
honest
.
Why
a
woman
in
the
Church
defence
might
not
hazard
her
person
,
I
sée
no
reason
to
countermaund
it
;
but
neither
do
I
see
what
warrant
she
had
,
to
put
her
fame
,
her
good
name
and
honestie
vpon
such
a
venture
,
which
she
ought
to
haue
tendred
as
dearely
as
the
whole
Church
:
wee
may
not
doo
the
least
euill
to
procure
the
greatest
good
;
and
might
Iudith
then
a
modest
and
religious
Matrone
in
the
Church
behalfe
demeane
her selfe
so
vnhonestly
?
might
she
trick
out
her selfe
so
inticingly
,
or
compose
her
countenance
wantonly
?
might
she
paint
out
her
face
,
set
out
her
haire
,
and
strumpetlike
maske
out
in
a
lawne
or
linnen
weede
to
stirre
vp
the
concupiscence
of
a
lewd
and
incontinent
leacher
?

.
I
say
that
Iezabel
could
doo
no
more
to
Iehu
:
and
why
she
should
not
stand
answerable
for
his
sinne
whom
she
had
tempted
vnto
sinne
,
let
Sixtus
tell
if
he
can
:
beside
all
this
,
I
speake
not
of
her
odious
flattering
,
her
cunning
dissembling
,
her
lewd
lying
to
insinuate
and
incroach
into
the
bosome
of
Holofernes
,
as
though
that
to
a
lawfull
act
we
might
proceede
by
flattering
,
dissembling
and
lying
,
by
hooke
or
crooke
,
by
all
vnlawful
meanes
,
&
so
we
créepe
in
it
mattereth
not
,
whether
it
be
by
the
doore
or
by
the
windowe
:
but
he
that
entreth
not
in
by
the
doore
is
a
theefe
and
a
robber
:
Ioh.
10.1
.
and
what
though
God
gaue
successe
and
prospered
the
attempt
?
that
hallowed
not
the
meanes
;
for
so
did
he
saue
the
babes
of
the
Israelites
by
the
dissembling
of
the
Midwiues
,
Exod.
1.19
.
and
yet
was
not
their
lye
iustified
.
But
come
wee
to
the
fact
of
Eleazar
,
and
see
what
a
perfect
patterne
it
is
for
a
Monk
and
murtherer
to
work
by
:
Eleazar
aduentured
his
life
to
hazard
the
life
of
Antiochus
;
but
would
to
God
he
had
but
barely
aduentured
it
:
it
is
one
thing
for
a
man
to
put
himselfe
vppon
an
vncertayne
hazard
,
but
another
thing
to
cast
himselfe
desperatly
into
danger
of
ineuitable
death
;
which
how
it
can
be
done
,
and
the
partie
so
proceeding
not
taynted
with
the
guilt
of
his
owne
death
,
I
professe
I
knowe
not
,
I
desire
to
be
instructed
.
But
let
not
Sixtus
tell
me
of
Samson
,
pulling
downe
a
house
vppon
his
owne
head
,
wee
knowe
what
spirit
it
was
that
mooued
him
to
it
;
another
doubtles
then
that
which
mooued
Eleazar
;
for
why
?
your
text
bewrayes
it
to
be
the
spirit
of
vaynglorie
,

he
ieoparded
himselfe
to
deliuer
his
people
and
get
himself
a
perpetuall
name
:
A
speach
vndoubtedly
so
disagreeing
from
the
spirit
of
humilitie
,
as
when
I
reade
it
me
thinks
I
heare
the
voice
of
Aiax
,
of
Hector
,
or
Achilles
:
and
howsoeuer
I
could
haue
borne
it
in
a
Pagan
,
in
Eleazar
it
was
intollerable
:
for
what
could
be
vttered
more
heathnish
or
prophane
?
What
more
derogatory
from
the
glorie
of
God
,
vnlesse
he
had
affected
the
deitie
&
throne
of
God
;
for
glorie
belongeth
to
him
,
and
his
glorie
hee
will
not
giue
to
another
.

The
Saints
of
God
are
alwaies
commended
in
the
Scripture
,
for
that
they
neuer
sought
to
bee
commended
,
but
though
they
had
brought
to
passe
matters
of
great
and
memorable
atchieuement

yet
alwayes
they
cryed
,
not
vnto
vs
O
Lord
,
not
vnto
vs
,
but
to
thy
name
giue
the
glorie
.
When
Dauid
vndertooke
to
encounter
with

,
he
protested
of
himselfe

the
world
might
knowe
that
Israell
had
a
God
.

.
But
see
the
difference
;
when
Eleazar
vndertooke
to
ouerthrow
Antiochus
,
the
author
of
that
Scripture
sayth
,
his
end
and
purpose
was
to
magnifie
himselfe
,
that
all
the
world
and
after-times
might
know
,
that
Israel
had
an
Eleazar
,
vnto
which
end
howsoeuer
he
might
successefully
arriue
,
yet
he
could
not
but
vnlawfully
aspire
:
for
wisely
the
heathen
Philosophers
teach
vs
,
that
honour
is
a
good
thing
if
it
be
not
sought
for
:
and
Christian
philosophie
teacheth
the
same
,
that
when
it
commeth
vnlookt
for
it
is
the
blessing
of
God
;
but
being
ambitiously
aymed
at
,
he
doth
but
nicke-name
it
that
calleth
it
not
vaynglorie
.
Thus
haue
wée
noted
in
Iudith
an
end
commendable
,
but
meanes
indirect
;
but
in
Eleazar
we
can
commend
neither
end
nor
meanes
as
lawfull
:
for
neither
may
a
man
hang
himselfe
to
pleasure
his
friends
,
neither
pleasure
his
friends
to
get
himselfe
a
name
:
&
yet
these
examples
are
cited
to
appeare
as
honest
witnesses
to
commend
the
fact
of
a
murthering
parricide
.
But
notwithstanding
,
howsoeuer
there
were
in
them
defects
and
corruptions
to
blemish
and
make
them
appeare
vnhonest
,
yet
in
this
are
more
and
farre
more
grieuous
:
for
compare
them
together
,
and
see
what
inequalitie
is
betweene
them
.
For
first
,
neither
did
Iudith
nor
Eleazar
lay
vyolent
hands
vppon
their
owne
Prince
,
as
did
this
sauadge
Monke
vppon
the
person
of
Henry
his
Soueraigne
Lord
and
Liedge
:
neither
of
them
(
I
say
)
distayned
their
hands
with
the
bloud
of
him
to
whom
they
had
sworne
any
fealtie
or
obedience
;
neither
was
Eleazar
to
Antiochus
,
nor
Iudith
to
Holofernes
,
but
as
to
a
stranger
,
and
not
so
onely
but
as
to
a
professed
enemie
,
whom
in
the
time
of
open
hostilitie
,
for
the
benefite
of
our
King
and
Countrey
,
wee
not
onely
may
,
but
must
,
and
by
discipline
of
warre
are
bound
to
endamage
and
annoy
.
Thus
see
I
not
what
matter
here
was
either
to
prouoke
the
Monke
to
so
bloudie
an
execution
,
or
els
to
helpe
out
Sixtus
with
his
prophane
Apologie
.
Secondly
,
as
they
did
execute
their
wrath
vppon
straunge
and
forraine
Princes
,
enemies
to
their
state
and
countrey
,
so
likewise
vppon
the
enemies
of
God
and
of
his
trueth
.
For
well
wee
knowe
that
Antiochus
did
abrogate
the
circumcision
,
burnt
the
bookes
of
the
lawe
,
erected
Altars
of
abomination
,
and
compelled
the
people
to
offer
vp
Swines
flesh
and
vncleane
Sacrifices
vpon
them
:
and
what
was
the
quarrell
of
Holofernes
but
a
matter
of
religion
?
because
the
people
refused
to
adore
and
reuerence
Nabuchadnezzar
as
a
God
:
from
which
so
grieuous
inforcements
and
charging
of
their
consciences
,
who
would
not
ieopard
his
life
to
release
and
set
free
his
countrey
?
But
neither
had
your
holines
nor
that
shaueling
Frier
any
such
cause
of
grieuance
,
as
might
exasperate
and
inrage
him
to
such
crueltie
.
For
why
,
a
Monke
hath
slaine
a
King
,
not
a
strange
or
forraine
King
,
not
a
sworne
or
vowed
enemie
,
not
a
King
of
a
contrary
worship
or
deuotion
,
but
hee
hath
slayne
his
owne
King
,
rightfully
raigning
,
meekely
ruling
,
and
wisely
gouerning
,
a
King
of
his
owne
disposition
,
profession
,
religion
;
without
pitie
cruelly
,
without
conscience
wickedly
,
without
cause
vniustly
.
Ah
Sixtus
,
no
maruaile
is
it
though
ye
seeke
to
drench
your
swords
in
the
bloud
of
protestant
Princes
,
when
ye
spare
not
your
neerest
and
dearest
friends
:
full
well
ye
knewe
that
Henry
was
a
bird
of
your
owne
brooding
,
a
Catholike
of
your
owne
Church
:
full
well
ye
knewe
that
he
had
both
faithfully
serued
you
,
and
studiously
endeuoured
to
please
you
,
when
as
(
God
knoweth
)
hee
little
regarded
to
please
his
Creator
,
and
could
yee
not
winke
at
some
fewe
offences
,
but
must
yee
needes
proceed
to
such
rigour
and
extremitie
?
O
pride
and
tyranny
intollerable
:
how
better
were
it
to
serue
a
Turke
or
Pagan
,
then
to
beare
a
burthen
in
your
yoake
,
from
whose
rage
and
furie
(
when
ye
list
to
bee
furious
)
neither
King
,
nor
kindred
,
nor
loue
,
nor
respect
of
religion
can
priuiledge
or
defend
.
But
Sixtus
happely
will
say
,
he
did
not
compare
them
for
the
honestie
,
but
only
for
the
difficultie
and
wonderment
of
the
work
:
and
certainly
for
ought
I
see
hee
standeth
not
much
vppon
the
honestie
thereof
:
enough
it
is
for
him
to
wonder
at
the
boldnes
of
the
aduenture
,
for
no
other
commendation
hee
giueth
to
his
Monke
,
then
a
man
might
well
affoord
to
a
ryotous
and
desperat
ruffen
.
Therefore
,
since
it
cannot
bee
prooued
to
bee
so
honest
,
let
vs
trye
what
courage
and
valour
,
what
difficulties
and
wonders
abounded
in
it
,
that
it
should
bee
not
onely
compared
,
but
preferred
aboue
the
hardie
aduentures
of
Iudith
and
Eleazar
,
in
regarde
of
whome
,
a
base
and
ruffenly
Fryer
is
not
onely
ioyned
to
susteyne
the
comparison
as
a
competent
match
or
corriuall
,
but
most
highly
magnified
as
exceeding
matchles
and
supereminent
:
for
so
sayth
Sixtus
,
that
albeit
for
zeale
and
valour
of
minde
,
and
for
the
issue
of
the
thing
attempted
,
there
were
some
resemblance
or
equalitie
betweene
them
,
yet
for
the
rest
there
was
no
one
thing
comparable
.
But
wonderfully
hath
his
holines
ouershot
himselfe
:
for
let
vs
suppose
those
examples
to
bee
as
Canonicall
as
some
would
they
were
,
and
see
then
not
onely
to
the
persons
themselues
compared
,
but
vnto
the
spirit
of
GOD
how
foule
an
indignitie
is
offered
:
when
the
holy
Ghost
in
Scripture
proposeth
to
our
view
some
famous
example
as
a
patterne
of
imitation
,
it
lightly
commendeth
such
a
one
as
no
president
of
antiquitie
before
,
neyther
of
the
posteritie
to
come
shall
bee
able
to
affoord
the
like
:
as
,
who
can
either
rayse
vp
from
the
memorie
of
the
dead
,
or
summon
out
an
example
from
men
aliue
to
match
with
Iobe
in
patience
,
with
Moses
in
meekenes
,
with
Abraham
in
faith
,
with
Dauid
in
courage
,
with
Samson
in
might
?
And
if
Sixtus
hauing
searched
through
the
Scripture
for
some
rare
example
and
mirror
of
magnanimitie
,
did
picke
out
and
choose
Eleazar
for
the
best
,
I
would
knowe
what
warrant
his
worship
had
in
a
Cloyster
of
Monkes
,
a
nest
of
Fryers
,
in
a
den
of
Diuells
to
shewe
a
better
:
but
what
did
Fryer
Clement
so
renowned
or
aduentrous
that
Eleazar
came
so
short
of
him
?
If
ye
marke
but
the
manner
of
proceeding
and
passing
forward
to
the
worke
,
Eleazar
did
farre
surpasse
him
:
for
let
Sixtus
bee
iudge
and
tell
mée
whether
hée
did
more
desperatly
aduenture
himselfe
,
which
to
breake
into
the
middle
of
an
Armie
had
no
other
way
but
as
a
knowne
and
open
enemie
through
rankes
and
millions
of
men
to
make
passage
with
his
sworde
,
or
hée
who
as
a
supposed
friend
came
sneaking
in
a
Fryers
weede
vnarmed
,
vnharnest
,
vnweaponed
,
with
a
fauning
looke
,
with
a
letter
of
passeport
in
his
hande
,
with
a
string
of
Beades
at
his
side
,
with
a
Crucifixe
at
his
breast
,
with
all
habiliments
of
his
profession
,
so
as
no
matter
of
suspition
,
of
feare
,
of
doubt
was
ministred
to
indanger
him
,
I
would
knowe
of
Sixtus
who
did
aduenture
most
.
Yea
but
(
sayth
he
)
Eleazar
was
a
profest
Souldier
,
trained
vp
in
armes
and
in
the
field
,
whereas
our
Monke
was
neuer
brought
vp
in
such
broyles
,
and
therefore
in
him
it
was
more
admirable
whatsoeuer
was
atchieued
.
I
answer
agayne
,
that
as
hee
was
a
Souldier
,
so
his
attempt
was
more
martiall
and
Souldierlike
,
so
was
it
executed
without
all
colour
in
the
forme
and
person
of
a
Souldier
brauely
,
by
dint
of
sword
vndauntedly
,
in
the
broade
and
open
field
valiantly
:
and
who
can
admire
a
close
and
priuy
murderer
,
whose
practises
are
so
abhorring
both
from
humanitie
,
as
nature
detesteth
them
for
abhominable
,
and
courage
condemneth
them
as
arguments
of
vndoubted
cowardice
,
and
certainely
I
see
not
what
manhood
is
required
to
slaughter
a
man
in
his
Chamber
,
which
euery
base
and
timorous
minde
may
accomplish
,
yea
euen
he
which
cannot
endure
to
see
himselfe
let
bloud
,
for
vnto
such
kinde
of
reuenge
no
man
for
shame
proceedeth
,
but
he
who
in
great
faintnes
and
weakenes
of
minde
,
continually
meditateth
of
flight
and
escape
:
yea
but
saith
Sixtus
againe
,
Eleazar
knew
both
his
manner
of
death
and
place
of
buriall
:
why
therefore
should
I
thinke
that
his
attempt
was
more
couragious
,
for
where
the
hope
of
life
is
lesse
,
the
aduenture
and
courage
vndoubtedly
is
more
,
but
hee
knew
so
certainely
of
his
death
,
that
he
could
likewise
diuine
of
his
graue
;
but
hardly
I
brooke
to
heare
of
so
foule
an
vntrueth
,
that
your
Frier
was
so
sore
afraide
of
certaine
death
,
and
vncertaine
torments
,
for
why
,
your
factors
and
agents
in
the
cause
,
had
prouided
a
double
medicine
to
salue
that
feare
,
for
so
wisely
they
wrought
to
prouoke
this
parricide
to
resolue
vpon
execution
,
that
notwithstanding
the
aduenture
in
sight
were
perilous
,
yet
both
in
regarde
of
that
policy
which
they
had
at
home
contriued
,
as
also
of
the
furtherance
and
assistance
which
in
the
campe
of
the
King
they
expected
,
there
was
a
double
comfort
ministred
;
at
home
they
had
so
prouided
,
that
so
many
within
the
walls
of
Paris
,
as
were
either
knowne
,
or
suspected
to
be
by
nere
affinity
allyed
,
or
by
affection
carried
to
fauour
either
the
King
or
any
his
ayders
and
associates
,
that
so
many
should
be
apprehended
,
and
laid
vp
as
pledges
and
hostages
,
for
the
safe
returne
of
the
Frier
,
which
doubtles
would
so
bridle
the
fury
of
the
Kings
friends
,
that
notwithstanding
himselfe
before
were
murdered
,
yet
to
ransome
the
liues
and
liberties
of
their
friends
,
they
would
bee
content
to
dismisse
the
Frier
&
send
him
back
to
Paris
:
againe
they
perswaded
him
,
that
in
the
Kings
own
campe
there
was
abundant
hope
of
present
assistance
to
be
supplied
,
for
if
it
so
fel
out
that
the
King
were
dispatcht
,
then
so
many
of
his
traine
as
secretly
fauored
the
League
would
be
present
,
and
at
hand
to
assist
him
,
but
the
contrary
part
would
be
so
amazed
at
the
suddaine
alteration
,
that
euery
man
would
rather
apply
his
wittes
how
to
saue
himselfe
,
then
to
execute
reuenge
vpon
the
malefactor
,
and
so
our
brother
Clement
could
not
choose
but
scape
:
this
most
infallibly
is
the
trueth
,
this
was
the
perswading
and
proceeding
with
the
Frier
,
who
in
a
fooles
paradice
,
and
conceite
of
a
certaine
returne
,
tanquam
asinus
ad
caedem
,
went
forward
to
his
worke
,
which
howsoeuer
it
succeeded
vnluckily
,
yet
out
of
doubt
better
fortune
was
expected
,
in
regarde
of
which
expectation
,
I
affirme
that
there
was
neither
imminent
danger
,
nor
certaine
feare
:
therefore
could
not
the
aduenture
be
so
ventrous
,
that
Captaine
Eleazar
with
Frier
Clement
should
change
a
corselet
to
put
on
a
cowle
.
But
as
we
haue
compared
him
with
Eleazar
,
let
vs
ioyne
and
match
him
with
Iudith
;
I
speak
not
of
a
matrimoniall
coniunction
,
for
Clement
was
a
votary
,
neuer
wedded
to
a
wife
,
neuer
furnisht
with
any
part
of
a
family
,
saue
onely
a
few
children
,
but
I
speake
of
a
ioyning
in
comparison
,
for
what
though
comparisons
bee
odious
,
yet
Eleazar
must
goe
downe
,
and
Iudith
must
stoope
to
aduance
a
bloudy
Frier
to
the
skies
;
therefore
as
his
holines
had
commended
Eleazar
,
so
dooth
he
likewise
extoll
Iudith
,
but
both
to
that
end
that
Clement
might
be
superextolled
,
and
commended
aboue
them
both
,
for
both
men
were
inferiour
to
him
,
and
many
wemen
haue
come
vnder
him
.
But
see
how
Sixtus
extenuateth
the
fact
of
Iudith
,
which
before
he
had
so
highly
magnified
,
and
all
to
enlarge
the
honour
of
a
Monke
;
Iudith
was
a
woman
,
and
therefore
more
gratious
,
therefore
for
her
sex
and
excellent
beautie
,
might
shee
bee
more
easily
admitted
into
the
presence
of
Holofernes
;
I
smile
to
thinke
how
Sixtus
tickleth
at
the
remembrance
of
Iudith
,
but
who
would
not
breake
out
and
laugh
,
to
see
how
hee
beateth
himselfe
with
his
owne
weapon
,
for
if
a
Frier
were
therefore
to
be
commended
aboue
a
Souldier
,
if
Clement
aboue
Eleazar
,
for
that
being
a
man
of
peace
,
and
neuer
trained
vp
to
the
field
,
he
had
ventured
as
far
as
a
profest
Souldier
,
then
doubtles
by
the
same
reason
was
Iudith
to
bee
preferred
before
Clement
,
for
that
being
a
woman
,
and
therefore
by
nature
more
timerous
,
shee
attempted
as
much
and
more
than
hee
;
yea
but
consider
that
as
she
was
a
woman
,
so
she
was
faire
,
and
as
her
sexe
on
the
one
side
did
dispose
her
to
feare
,
so
her
beauty
on
the
other
side
made
her
secure
;
yea
Sixtus
,
wee
consider
it
very
well
,
and
knowe
that
in
Rome
the
argument
is
forcible
;
ful
well
we
knowe
that
your
Lateran
pallace
was
neuer
so
surely
lockt
,
but
a
woman
at
midnight
might
boldly
and
freely
haue
accesse
.
I
let
passe
to
speake
of
Iohn
the
twelft
and
mistris
Rainera
,
of
Pope
Sergius
and
his
Morozia
:
I
come
to
the
matter
,
wherein
against
the
beauty
of
Iudith
,
I
doo
oppose
the
profession
of
Clement
,
for
neuer
was
woman
more
welcome
to
Holofernes
,
then
Monkes
and
Friers
were
to
Henry
.
Ah
silly
man
,
I
rue
to
speake
it
,
his
deuotion
was
fantasticall
,
his
affection
was
ouer
foolish
to
them
,
and
longer
doubtles
had
he
liued
,
if
hee
had
neuer
loued
,
nor
reposed
any
confidence
in
them
,
and
that
those
caitifs
knew
full
well
,
for
which
most
in
humanely
they
repayed
him
that
il
;
therfore
I
say
there
was
no
cause
why
a
Frier
might
not
as
securely
aduenture
himselfe
into
the
hoast
of
the
King
,
as
did
Iudith
into
the
tentes
of
Holofernes
:
therefore
consequently
there
was
no
cause
why
his
exploite
should
be
extold
aboue
hers
,
as
farre
more
difficult
and
impossible
;
but
what
doo
we
speake
of
difficulties
?
Sixtus
saith
it
was
full
of
wonders
,
for
after
that
letters
of
commendation
from
them
of
the
contrary
faction
were
fayned
,
which
hee
falsely
saith
were
procured
,
see
what
a
wonder
fell
out
:
Frier
Clement
passed
out
by
that
gate
of
the
citie
which
lead
vnto
the
enemies
campe
:
O
wonderfull
,
as
if
he
should
haue
saide
,
he
went
but
two
miles
when
hee
might
haue
gone
ten
,
hee
tooke
the
nearest
way
,
when
he
might
haue
gone
the
farthest
way
about
,
whereas
hee
might
haue
passed
out
at
a
back
or
pofierne
gate
,
and
so
might
haue
gone
from
thence
to
Rome
,
from
Rome
to
Iericho
,
from
Iericho
to
Vrsa
maior
,
from
thence
to
Tyburne
,
from
Tyburne
to
the
diuell
,
and
from
him
with
a
dispensation
to
the
campe
of
the
King
:
yet
he
(
I
say
)
tooke
the
nearest
way
,
euen
passing
out
by
that
gate
of
the
citie
,
which
lead
vnto
the
enemies
campe
:
Monstrum
horrendum
,
I
thinke
there
was
neuer
such
a
wonder
:
why
Sixtus
doost
thou
wonder
that
he
went
not
the
farthest
way
about
?
Or
that
hee
went
to
the
campe
about
such
a
worke
,
his
feete
being
naturally
so
swift
to
shed
bloud
?
Or
doost
thou
wonder
that
through
that
gate
especially
hee
should
passe
without
examination
,
I
should
rather
haue
wondred
if
any
had
been
so
bold
to
examine
him
,
considering
that
they
who
set
him
about
the
worke
were
not
so
vnwise
,
but
to
take
order
for
his
safe
conduct
out
of
the
citie
,
and
so
there
was
as
free
passage
for
him
out
of
Paris
,
as
there
was
for
Iudith
out
of
Bethulia
;
but
see
,
see
,
here
commeth
another
wonder
;
he
did
not
onely
passe
through
the
gates
of
the
city
,
but
also
through
the
campe
of
the
enemies
,
through
the
seueral
watches
and
sentinells
,
and
through
the
garde
which
was
next
the
body
of
the
King
;
how
say
ye
by
this
?
Was
not
this
a
terrible
wonder
?
His
holines
meruaileth
that
the
Frier
was
so
freely
receaued
in
the
enemies
campe
,
that
he
was
not
examined
,
that
hee
was
not
killed
,
as
though
no
man
should
looke
vpon
a
Frier
,
but
presently
hee
should
drawe
out
his
dagger
and
slabbe
him
:
I
answer
his
holines
againe
,
that
happely
those
watchmen
and
warders
did
not
see
him
,
perhaps
he
went
inuisible
:
When
the
first
dag
was
discharged
at
the
Prince
of
Orange
,
a
priest
in
Antwerp
had
suborned
a
base
scullian
for
the
feate
,
to
whome
very
charily
he
deliuered
a
stone
of
great
valew
,
affirming
that
while
hee
had
it
about
him
,
hee
could
not
choose
but
goe
inuisible
,
yea
though
he
were
in
the
Princes
chamber
;
I
knowe
not
whether
your
Frier
had
such
a
stone
or
no
;
but
suppose
hee
had
not
,
yet
comming
as
an
intelligencer
for
the
campe
,
with
letters
of
credence
from
the
friends
of
the
King
,
in
a
Friers
weede
peaceably
,
with
all
counterfeit
submission
friendly
,
I
knowe
not
why
hee
should
not
be
as
easily
admitted
into
the
Kings
owne
pauilion
,
as
Iudith
was
into
the
tent
of
Holofernes
;
but
this
thing
in
Iudith
was
wonderfull
,
which
his
holines
neuer
considered
,
that
notwithstanding
she
aduentured
her selfe
as
farre
as
shee
did
,
yet
vnpolluted
,
vnhurt
,
vntouched
,
she
returned
home
safe
and
aliue
againe
,
and
if
it
had
so
fallen
out
with
Clement
,
that
after
the
murder
committed
hee
had
handsomely
escaped
and
come
away
,
then
had
it
been
somewhat
,
then
had
it
been
a
wonder
:
but
see
the
hard
hap
,
when
it
came
to
the
issue
,
when
it
stoode
vpon
the
making
or
marring
,
either
to
proue
a
wonder
or
no
wonder
,
why
then
the
miracle
was
marred
,
the
Monke
was
slaine
:
O
that
men
would
therefore
praise
the
Lord
for
his
goodnes
,
and
declare
what
wonders
are
done
among
the
sonnes
of
men
.
But
lift
againe
,
me
thinkes
I
heare
Balaams
asse
speaking
,
the
Pope
is
become
a
Prophet
,
and
to
commend
this
impious
act
,
hee
alleageth
a
prophecie
of
his
owne
,
conspiring
with
the
end
and
fall
of
the
King
,
wee
did
heretofore
with
some
griefe
foretell
that
he
was
like
to
come
to
some
strange
and
shamefull
end
:
how
can
wee
now
but
accept
his
censure
vpon
the
fact
,
who
did
so
diuinely
prophecie
and
foretell
of
the
fact
:
but
will
ye
not
beleeue
that
his
holines
did
so
prophecie
?
Wil
ye
require
our
witnesses
?
Wil
ye
put
vs
to
our
proofes
?
Why
then
we
call
to
witnes
the
Cardinalls
of
Ioyeuse
,
of
Paris
,
and
of
Lenoncort
.
Ah
Sixtus
,
thou
canst
not
so
deceaue
vs
;
the
signes
are
many
,
the
proofes
are
too
pregnant
against
you
;
your self
foretold
his
end
:
we
beleeue
it
,
for
wel
might
you
diuine
of
his
death
,
whose
death
your selfe
had
contriued
,
and
yet
bee
no
more
a
Prophet
,
then
a
Iudge
which
sitteth
vppon
the
bench
,
and
saith
,
this
thiefe
shall
dye
to
morrow
,
not
because
hee
seeth
it
by
diuination
,
but
because
it
is
in
his
hand
to
acquit
or
condemne
him
,
and
so
.
I
may
iustly
say
,
that
Sixtus
did
not
Prophecie
but
threaten
:
for
if
eury
prediction
should
make
a
Prophet
,
then
should
the
diuell
bee
a
great
one
,
who
beholding
the
necessary
concurrence
of
the
causes
,
dooth
many
times
foretell
aright
of
the
effects
;
in
this
order
(
Sixtus
)
and
in
no
other
didst
thou
Prophecie
:
I
apeale
to
thine
owne
conscience
,
when
the
first
relation
of
the
Guize
his
death
was
made
,
when
the
first
newes
were
brought
,
didst
thou
not
then
vow
thy selfe
to
auenge
it
?
Didst
thou
not
afterward
contriue
the
meanes
to
work
it
?
Didst
thou
not
encourage
the
Leaguers
to
it
?
Didst
thou
not
promise
a
perpetuall
pardon
to
him
that
should
attempt
it
?
And
being
now
done
,
hast
thou
not
endited
a
sweete
Apology
for
it
?
And
yet
who
now
is
Sixtus
?
Whome
shall
men
say
that
he
is
?
Is
he
not
Elias
,
or
some
one
of
the
Prophets
?
But
not
he
alone
,
but
many
other
did
thus
Prophecie
,
among
whom
let
Gregory
himselfe
be
one
,
who
as
he
now
succeedeth
Sixtus
in
his
seate
,
so
did
he
exceede
him
in
the
murder
,
for
which
by
a
French
Cardinall
,
his
holines
is
now
notoriously
appealed
;
Thus
treacherie
and
murder
is
impaled
with
a
triple
crowne
;
thus
traitors
and
murderers
sit
in
Peters
chaire
:
beside
,
we
are
to
note
that
he
did
not
onely
and
barely
Prophecie
it
,
but
with
some
griefe
and
feeling
of
his
fall
:
alas
poore
Sixtus
,
how
sorely
his
heart
was
grieued
?
But
shall
we
pittie
him
then
,
or
shall
wee
rather
disdaine
and
detest
him
?
Foule
hipocrite
and
Crocodile
as
thou
art
,
couldst
thou
weepe
for
him
,
when
as
thou
didst
intend
so
mortally
against
him
?
Full
well
thou
mightest
haue
redressed
that
griefe
,
if
thou
hadst
been
truely
aggrieued
;
but
as
Absolon
feasted
Ammon
,
and
Iudas
kissed
Christ
,
so
didst
thou
lament
his
fall
;
for
if
thou
didst
indeede
lament
it
,
what
moued
thee
to
endite
so
triumphing
an
Apology
vpon
it
,
and
to
erect
a
Trophe
,
where
greater
cause
was
to
write
an
Epitaph
?
Why
didst
thou
debarre
him
from
all
dirges
,
masses
,
and
trentalls
,
from
al
dead
mans
rites
and
funerall
solemnities
?
Did
the
feare
of
the
losse
so
afflict
thee
,
and
could
the
losse
be
so
pleasing
to
thee
?
Fie
Sixtus
,
fie
,
dissemble
not
with
the
world
,
thy
hipocrisie
is
too
manifest
,
thou
didst
not
prophecie
,
thou
wast
not
aggrieued
,
nor
canst
thou
so
easily
bleare
our
eyes
.
Hauing
thus
foolishly
mooted
and
declamed
of
thine
own
propheticall
spirit
,
thou
preparest
at
length
by
a
personall
inuectiue
to
disgordge
thy
gall
agaynst
the
King
,
by
the
impeachment
and
defamation
of
whose
honour
thou
addressest
thy selfe
to
conuince
the
execution
done
vpon
him
for
iust
and
warrantable
,
His
great
offences
,
his
shamefull
death
,
his
finall
impenitencie
:
but
albeit
I
must
in
part
confesse
some
of
these
as
true
,
yet
I
loath
to
see
thee
raking
in
the
dust
of
a
dead
mans
bones
,
whose
sinnes
if
they
ought
to
be
buryed
in
silence
,
much
lesse
should
they
be
misreported
and
maliciously
amplified
.
Wee
confesse
the
offences
of
the
King
were
grieuous
,
and
heynous
,
and
of
necessitie
we
must
confesse
what
all
the
world
so
euidently
sawe
,
because
the
sinnes
of
Kings
and
Princes
cannot
be
vnseene
;
neither
can
a
citie
bee
hid
that
is
set
vpon
a
hill
:
but
neuerthelesse
,
we
doo
not
acknowledge
those
for
sinnes
in
wreake
and
reuenge
whereof
this
direfull
tragedie
was
performed
.
For
shall
we
say
his
Maiestie
did
offend
in
executing
iustice
vpon
that
recreant
Guize
,
a
furious
and
braynsicke
rebell
,
together
with
Lodwicke
his
brother
then
Cardinall
of
Lorraine
?
As
though
a
King
may
not
correct
the
misdemeanour
of
his
subiects
,
but
an
Italian
Priest
shall
step
out
to
countermaund
and
controll
it
:
but
how
had
the
Guize
then
misdemeaned
himselfe
,
or
wherein
had
he
passed
beyond
his
bounds
?
Ah
God
,
is
that
now
called
in
question
?
Or
shall
wee
now
begin
to
endite
him
,
at
whose
boldnes
&
rebellion
all
Kings
in
Christendome
for
these
twentie
yeares
haue
stood
amazed
?
whome
neyther
reuerence
of
authoritie
,
nor
feare
of
lawes
,
nor
law
of
nature
could
keepe
within
his
bounds
.
But
let
that
goe
,
wee
speake
of
later
attempts
,
euen
of
the
treacherie
which
then
he
intended
against
the
King
when
he
was
apprehended
and
murthered
,
which
vndoubtedly
hee
had
effected
,
had
not
his
brother
Charles
d'
Maine
opened
&
disclosed
it
before
.
Yea
,
but
suppose
the
Guize
had
offended
,
yet
was
it
tyranny
without
formall
and
iudiciall
processe
of
lawe
preceding
to
fall
to
execution
.
Indeede
(
Sixtus
)
it
is
true
when
delay
is
voyd
of
danger
:
but
if
a
route
of
theeues
haue
so
beset
my
way
as
I
must
eyther
immediatly
slay
,
or
be
immediatly
slayne
,
I
hope
there
is
no
lawe
agaynst
me
if
in
that
distresse
I
neglect
the
triall
of
lawe
,
and
worke
out
my
deliuerance
with
my
sword
:
for
that
is
a
law
which
we
haue
not
learned
,
not
receaued
,
not
heard
,
but
a
lawe
which
wee
haue
suckt
out
of
our
mothers
breasts
,
in
which
we
were
not
informed
,
but
bred
;
not
instructed
,
but
inspired
;
not
by
discipline
composed
,
but
by
nature
prepared
,
that
no
honest
way
of
defending
our
life
and
state
should
bee
left
vntryed
;
and
shall
wee
then
condemne
the
speedie
execution
vppon
the
Guize
and
Lodwicke
his
brother
for
vnhonest
,
which
could
not
bee
one
day
deferred
without
indaungering
the
life
and
dignitie
of
the
King
?
No
(
Sixtus
)
no
,
we
confesse
the
offences
of
the
King
were
grieuous
,
yet
this
was
no
offence
:
but
if
we
list
endite
him
,
wee
could
vbrayd
and
charge
him
with
matters
of
greater
moment
,
which
albeit
wée
are
loath
and
grieue
to
doo
,
yet
in
regard
of
that
Antichristian
tyranny
which
in
his
life
he
practised
,
and
for
which
he
was
punished
in
his
death
we
may
not
be
ouer
silent
,
and
so
much
the
lesse
for
that
we
would
prouoke
ye
to
repentance
,
least
as
ye
haue
excéeded
him
in
his
sinne
,
so
ye
receaue
a
greater
measure
of
iudgement
.
When
in
his
life
tyme
we
called
to
minde
how
sorely
and
bitterly
he
did
afflict
the
Church
,
how
freely
he
suffered
the
confederates
of
the
League
to
assault
and
insult
vpon
them
,
and
how
often
himselfe
had
personally
vnsheathed
his
sword
agaynst
them
,
we
could
not
expect
but
that
though
God
winked
for
a
time
,
yet
in
time
he
would
manifest
his
iudgements
on
him
,
and
when
the
fulnes
of
time
was
expired
it
fell
out
as
wee
feared
:
for
so
soone
as
in
his
last
Parliament
holden
at
Bloys
,
he
had
most
wickedly
vaunted
of
his
victories
agaynst
the
Church
,
and
boastingly
reported
what
harme
and
scath
hee
had
done
them
(
which
was
in
deed
the
fulnes
of
his
sinne
)
this
vengeance
immediatly
fell
vpon
him
,
euen
as
Sixtus
himselfe
(
a
strange
thing
to
consider
)
within
lesse
then
a
yeare
after
his
Apologie
and
triumphing
in
so
notorious
a
murther
,
was
dispatcht
and
taken
out
of
the
world
:
beside
,
we
could
report
how
he
secretly
encouraged
the
Leaguers
to
effusion
of
bloud
,
how
himselfe
was
vp
in
armes
before
the
walles
of
Rochel
,
and
that
for
no
other
cause
but
for
the
Gospell
:
and
that
which
neuer
will
be
wiped
out
,
how
at
that
notable
occision
and
famous
slaughter
,
surnamed
the
great
massacre
,
being
but
a
stripling
boy
hee
bathed
and
embrued
his
hands
with
innocent
bloud
,
which
doubtlesse
hath
since
béen
so
well
repayed
vpon
the
heads
of
the
murtherers
,
as
fewe
of
them
consorted
in
the
worke
whom
God
did
not
after
marke
out
with
some
notable
iudgement
,
in
so
much
as
euen
the
Catholiks
themselues
haue
obserued
that
most
of
them
came
to
euill
ends
:
some
of
them
being
afterward
endited
,
conuicted
,
and
hanged
vp
for
malefactors
:
others
desperatly
murthering
and
hanging
themselues
,
and
they
who
were
inriched
by
the
spoyle
dying
so
beggerly
,
so
miserable
and
poore
,
as
not
a
peny
was
left
to
buy
a
halter
:
but
for
them
who
were
the
slaughter-masters
and
ringleaders
of
that
ryot
,
it
is
playne
and
manifest
how
God
hath
plagued
and
scourged
them
,
considering
how
the
Guize
himselfe
was
prickt
&
stabd
to
death
,
the
Duke
of
Ioyeuse
was
slayne
in
the
battaile
at
Coutraz
,
the
late
King
Henry
murthered
with
an
infectious
knife
,
and
Charles
the
9.
his
brother
(
as
some
say
)
poysoned
,
or
dyed
as
others
report
of
a
fluxe
of
bloud
,
which
at
his
mouth
,
his
eares
,
and
nostrils
,
yea
at
euery
passage
both
vpward
and
downward
issued
from
him
,
euen
as
it
were
vomitting
out
in
his
death
the
bloud
which
in
his
life
hee
had
so
egerly
suckt
:
and
certainly
God
plagued
the
house
of
Valoys
,
for
that
of
foure
brethren
,
wherof
three
successiuely
raigned
,
no
seede
was
left
to
sit
vpon
the
throne
:
I
speake
not
of

d'
Retz
,
of
Catharine

Medices
Queene
Mother

of
France
,
nor
many
other
moe

whose
deaths
albeit
they
were
suspected
,
yet
for
that
they
were
doubted
I
leaue
them
as
matters
of
vncertaintie
.
But
wonderfull
it
is
to
consider
,
how
manifestly
God
alwayes
auenged
himselfe
vppon
the
Leaguers
and
other
French
persecuters
:
During
the
rage
and
furie
agaynst
the
Saints
which
were
in
Prouence
,
in
Merindol
and
Cabriers
,
which
was
soone
after
the
yeare
1530.
how
did
God
note
out
the
chiefe
persecuters
with
some
apparant
&
memorable
iudgement
?
The
Lord
of
Reuest
high
President
of
the
Parliament
at
Aix
ran
mad
and
dyed
,
Lewis
d'
Vaine
was
drowned
in
the
riuer
of
Durance
,
Bartholomeus
Cassaneus
was
striken
with
a
sodayn
death
,
Miniers
Lord
of
Opede
being
not
able
to
voyd
it
was
burnt
with
his
owne
vrine
,
and
with
much
impatience
and
blasphemie
consumed
away
,
Ihon
de
Roma
a
Iacobine
Monke
and
chiefe
Inquisitor
in
this
persecution
rotted
peece
meale
,
and
dyed
in
such
stench
,
as
being
dead
men
were
fayne
with
a
hooke
to
dregge
him
into
a
ditch
:
Soone
after
all
this
succéeded
Henry
the
second
King
of
France
,
a
grieuous
oppressor
of
the
Church
,
who
aduancing
himselfe
at
the
Turney
,
was
striken
with
a
speare
into
the
brayne
and
dyed
:
after
him
succeeded
Francis
the
second
,
who
after
one
yeares
raigne
and
little
more
,
was
taken
away
by
an
Impostume
in
the
head
.
I
speake
not
of
Francis
the
olde
Duke
of
Guize
,
who
was
slaine
by
Poltrat
with
a
dag
before
Orleans
,
neither
of
the
Marshall
of
Saint
Andrewes
who
dyed
before
Dreux
,
nor
of
the
Constable
of
France
who
was
slayne
at
Paris
,
nor
speake
I
of
the
late
Cardinall
of
Lorraine
shamefully
strangled
with
a
corde
,
nor
of
Francis
of
Valoys
,
whom
some
report
to
haue
dyed
of
a
venereous
contagion
;
others
gather
by
the
arraignement
of
the
Lord
of
Salceede
that
he
was
subtilly
and
secretly
made
away
:
but
as
they
were
profest
enemies
and
persecuters
of
the
Church
,
so
were
they
scourged
for
their
crueltie
:
and
what
shall
befall
the
remainder
,
since
of
so
cursed
a
crue
so
many
still
remayne
,
I
cannot
,
I
dare
not
prophecie
:
but
sure
I
am
that
God
is
iust
,
and
will
not
tolerate
so
foule
offenders
to
triumph
in
impunitie
.
Neuerthelesse
,
what
I
haue
sayd
,
to
this
ende
haue
I
sayd
it
,
that
all
the
world
might
see
that
they
were
not
the
offences
you
dreame
of
,
for
which
GOD
deliuered
vp
this
King
to
so
open
a
iudgement
,
not
for
reciding
or
falling
away
from
you
,
but
rather
for
cleauing
too
fast
vnto
you
,
for
that
foolish
and
indulgent
loue
he
carried
toward
you
,
and
for
his
mortall
hate
agaynst
the
Church
and
Saints
of
God
,
whom
as
with
other
he
persecuted
,
so
with
other
he
perished
:
so
that
whatsoeuer
his
offences
were
,
wee
all
confesse
he
was
a
grieuous
offender
.
But
how
then
?
shall
Peters
successor
therefore
say
to
a
Monke
,
as
the
holy
Ghost
sometyme
sayd
to
Peter
,
Arise
and
kill
?
Was
there
no
choyce
,
no
discretion
,
no
difference
to
bee
made
?

Harke
(
Sixtus
)
a
Poet
can
teach
thee
wit
:
Etsi
ego
indignus
qui
haec
patiar
tu
tamen
indignus
qui
faceres
:
Euery
man
is
not
meete
to
execute
iustice
vpon
euery
offender
:
suppose
thy
father
had
deserued
death
,
yet
art
thou
an
vnfit
man
to
appeale
him
,
but
more
vnfit
to
bee
his
executioner
.
What
if
Saul
deserued
to
bee
depriued
of
his
kingdome
,
yet
was
not
euery
priuate
man
to
lay
vnhallowed
hands
vppon
him
:
and
graunt
wee
that
Henry
had
heynously
offended
,
will
it
therefore
in
reason
followe
that
euery
miscreant
Monke
shall
dare
to
pray
vpon
him
?
Saint
Paule
could
not
beare
it
that
a
Bishop
or
man
of
a
spirituall
profession
should
be
a
striker
,
and
may
he
be
a
murtherer
?
Nay
,
your selues
deliuer
vp
to
the
secular
authoritie
,
1.
Tim.
3.3
.
whom
before
ye
haue
for
heresie
endited
and
condemned
,
to
shew
that
ye
may
pollute
your
hands
with
no
bloud
,
no
not
of
most
capitall
transgressors
,
and
may
yee
bath
your
hands
in
innocent
bloud
?
We
knowe
he
had
highly
offended
the
Maiestie
of
GOD
,
but
in
regard
of
you
we
dare
auouch
him
innocent
.
But
suppose
he
had
as
deepely
offended
you
;
the
positiue
lawes
giue
this
fauour
to
an
offender
,
that
notwithstanding
hee
hath
been
alreadie
arraigned
,
endited
,
condemned
,
and
at
the
place
of
execution
stand
readie
to
be
executed
,
yet
he
that
shall
offer
violence
to
slay
him
,
shall
stand
as
lyable
to
lawe
as
if
he
had
slayne
another
man
.
Is
there
such
fauour
affoorded
to
an
offender
after
iudgement
,
and
may
ye
murther
him
whom
ye
neuer
condemned
,
neuer
conuinced
,
neuer
accused
?
It
was
requisite
that
before
your
rigorous
and
deadly
execution
,
ye
should
depose
and
depriue
him
from
al
kingly
titles
and
authoritie
;
did
ye
euer
so
depriue
him
?
It
was
expedient
that
before
that
depriuation
yee
should
first
excommunicate
him
,
for
while
he
was
a
member
of
the
Church
he
must
néedes
be
the
head
of
his
kingdome
;
did
yee
euer
excommunicate
him
?
Before
yée
could
proceed
to
the
Ecclesiasticall
censure
agaynst
him
,
ye
should
first
haue
conuinced
him
as
worthie
of
it
;
did
ye
euer
so
conuince
him
?
Where
was
hee
conuented
?
when
was
it
pleaded
?
who
were
the
witnesses
?
what
were
the
crimes
obiected
against
him
?
Forsooth
he
refused
to
assist
the
quarrell
of
the
League
:
a
shamefull
vntrueth
;
he
onely
preuented
the
practises
against
his
person
,
which
were
coloured
by
the
quarrell
of
the
League
.
Yea
but
he
caused
the
Guize
be
slaine
who
was
the
Champion
of
the
Church
:
good
reason
there
was
to
doo
it
,
because
the
Champion
of
the
Church
had
conuerted
his
forces
which
were
bestowed
for
the
Church
defence
,
to
maintaine
&
vphold
a
ciuill
quarrell
,
as
namely
the
subuersion
of
the
king
,
and
inthroning
himselfe
in
the
kingdome
:
beside
all
this
,
I
speake
not
of
that
foule
indignitie
which
he
offered
the
King
when
he
forced
him
out
of
Paris
,
such
a
presumptuous
and
trayterous
deede
as
could
not
bee
punished
with
lesse
then
death
:
but
howsoeuer
the
King
had
trespassed
,
yet
being
a
King
he
ought
to
be
solemnely
endited
,
and
not
secretly
bought
and
sould
:
his
cause
should
be
formally
heard
,
and
not
closely
smothered
;
his
iudgement
should
be
publikely
notified
,
and
not
in
a
corner
contriued
;
&
his
person
should
be
arrested
,
not
murthered
.
Notwithstanding
,
sith
God
in
his
secret
counsaile
had
so
decreed
it
,
let
vs
beare
it
as
we
ought
,
and
lay
the
fault
of
so
foule
a
murther
where
in
right
&
equitie
we
ought
.
You
did
foretel
it
that
he
was
like
to
come
to
some
strange
&
shameful
end
:
but
whose
was
the
shame
?
a
riotous
ruffen
hath
beset
the
way
,
an
innocent
is
intrapped
,
his
mony
is
taken
,
his
life
lost
,
his
body
shamefully
mangled
,
say
foolish
Apologizer
;
whose
is
the
shame
?
Is
this
a
proofe
to
approue
the
murder
of
a
King
?
Suppose
the
tower
of
Silo
had
fallen
vpon
his
head
,
is
he
therfore
a
greater
sinner
?
I
tel
ye
no
;
hast
thou
not
read
it
that
al
things
come
alike
to
all
,
and
that
the
same
condition
is
to
the
iust
and
to
the
wicked
,
and
that
many
times
the
wicked
liue
in
prosperity
and
dye
in
peace
,
that
their
horne
is
exalted
as
the
Cedar
in
Lebanon
,
as
Tabor
among
the
mountaines
,
when
iust
and
vpright
men
are
as
a
bottle
parcht
in
the
smoake
,
when
such
as
Iob
ly
scraping
vpon
a
dunghill
;
did
not
Pilate
sit
vpon
the
bench
,
when
Christ
stoode
at
the
barre
?
were
not
the
Apostles
martyred
,
the
Prophets
murdered
,
the
sauiour
of
the
world
crucified
?
All
cut
off
by
strange
and
shamefull
ends
;
yet
no
man
can
conuince
either
him
for
a
Sinner
,
or
them
for
malefactors
,
and
why
then
should
Henry
so
dying
be
adiudged
to
die
a
reprobate
?
Ah
Sixtus
,
now
doost
thou
speake
as
Antichrist
,
now
doost
thou
vsurpe
the
sword
and
seate
of
Christ
:
art
thou
already
come
to
iudge
the
quick
and
dead
?
Is
there
no
remission
for
his
sinne
,
no
pardon
to
be
expected
,
no
praiers
to
be
powred
,
no
hope
but
hell
?
Uile
murderers
,
how
delight
ye
in
bloud
,
not
content
to
kill
the
body
,
but
to
adiudge
the
soule
;
did
yee
see
his
soule
descending
to
the
lower
partes
?
did
ye
heare
him
desperately
crying
,
my
sinne
is
greater
then
I
am
able
to
beare
?
Did
yée
heare
God
pronounce
the
sentence
vpon
him
;
depart
accursed
?
but
where
then
is
Sixtus
,
and
where
is
Clement
,
if
Henry
be
in
hell
?
full
well
ye
teach
vs
to
despaire
of
your selues
,
who
endeuour
to
rob
vs
of
so
rich
a
hope
:
but
rather
had
I
yee
should
burne
me
for
an
heretick
at
a
stake
,
then
enroll
me
for
a
Saint
in
your
Calender
:
vncharitable
&
vnchristian
wretches
,
condemning
for
reprobates
vnto
euerlasting
death
,
whose
names
God
hath
written
in
the
book
of
life
,
and
canonizing
for
martirs
,
whom
Turkes
and
Pagans
would
detest
as
murderers
:
but
what
ground
had
Sixtus
to
charge
him
with
finall
impenitency
?
Who
euer
saw
so
deepe
into
his
soule
?
Who
knew
what
sobbes
,
what
groning
,
what
secret
griefe
might
harbor
in
his
heart
?
But
neither
did
hee
sorrow
so
in
silence
,
as
no
signe
of
repentance
was
left
behinde
:
in
the
presence
of
the
standers
by
(
who
with
watery
eyes
beheld
him
)
he
made
an
humble
confession
of
his
faith
,
powred
out
his
praiers
to
God
,
receaued
the
Sacrament
,
confessed
himselfe
to
a
Frier
,
desired
pardon
for
his
sinne
,
besought
God
if
it
might
bée
,
to
lengthen
his
dayes
,
that
for
his
life
past
,
hee
might
make
some
amends
:
sée
,
sée
,
what
signes
of
impenitencie
,
what
tokens
of
distrust
are
here
?
After
that
,
bethinking
what
might
become
of
his
people
,
he
bequeathed
them
into
the
hands
of
Nauarra
,
whom
he
specially
charged
to
be
carefull
ouer
them
:
yea
but
he
cried
for
vengeance
vpon
the
authors
of
his
death
,
euen
a
little
before
his
death
:
So
cried
Dauid
vpon
his
death-head
against
Ioab
and
Shimei
,
1.
Kin.
2.5
8
charging
his
Sonne
Salomon
,
that
for
the
offences
they
had
committed
against
him
,
hee
should
not
suffer
them
to
goe
to
their
graues
in
peace
,
and
yet
was
Dauid
neuer
charged
with
impenitence
,
as
Henry
is
for
the
same
reason
;
ye
might
first
haue
inquired
whether
it
were
in
his
hands
to
pardon
them
or
no
,
for
Dauid
doubtles
if
he
could
haue
pardoned
Ioab
or
Shimei
,
had
neuer
exclamed
for
vengeance
on
them
,
but
it
lay
not
in
his
power
to
pardon
them
:
such
offences
as
are
committed
against
our
priuat
state
,
or
particular
person
,
wée
may
and
must
forgiue
them
,
yea
though
they
be
seuenty
seauen
times
committed
,
but
an
indignity
offered
to
the
person
of
a
King
,
toucheth
euen
God
himselfe
,
because
they
represent
the
maiesty
of
God
,
for
which
God
graceth
them
with
a
title
of
his
owne
,
Psal.
82.6
.
I
haue
said
it
,
yee
are
Gods
:
therefore
in
reason
,
the
remission
of
such
offences
must
be
resigned
vp
onely
to
God
;
could
not
Dauid
pardon
Shimei
,
which
had
but
barely
railed
on
him
,
and
must
Henry
either
pardon
a
crue
of
damnable
conspirators
,
which
so
prophanely
murdered
him
,
or
must
he
be
adiudged
to
dye
impenitent
?
But
how
know
ye
he
did
not
pardon
them
?
Because
he
coniured
Nauarra
,
and
such
as
stoode
about
him
,
to
take
vengeance
of
those
whome
he
surmised
to
bee
the
authors
of
his
death
:
yea
so
he
might
,
and
yet
pardon
them
to
,
for
when
Christ
saith
,
forgiue
,
his
meaning
is
not
that
euery
notorious
offender
,
should
be
acquit
from
outward
censure
of
lawe
,
for
that
were
to
peruert
iustice
,
and
to
ouerthrow
all
ciuill
discipline
;
but
to
forgiue
him
,
is
to
intreate
God
for
him
,
that
his
body
being
punished
to
the
example
of
other
,
his
soule
at
the
great
iudgement
might
be
saued
:
and
certainely
if
he
might
punish
a
traitor
in
his
life
,
I
see
no
reason
why
he
might
not
as
well
doo
it
at
the
poynt
of
death
,
for
why
,
the
time
cannot
alter
the
nature
of
the
action
,
but
if
it
were
iniustice
to
remit
him
before
,
hee
could
not
with
equitie
pardon
him
then
;
therefore
well
might
he
say
to
Nauarra
as
Dauid
said
to
Salomon
:
Suffer
not
those
murderers
to
goe
to
their
graue
in
peace
,
&
yet
be
translated
to
Heauen
as
Dauid
was
,
wherof
wee
nothing
doubt
,
but
though
his
sinnes
were
as
red
as
scarlet
,
&
his
hands
all
steyned
with
the
bloud
of
Martyrs
,
yet
through
the
aboundant
grace
of
him
,
who
forgaue
vnto
Paule
those
many
afflictions
he
said
vpon
the
Church
,
we
assure
our selues
that
mercy
is
shewed
vnto
him
,
and
all
is
washed
away
as
white
as
snowe
:
yea
but
what
will
ye
say
,
if
beside
all
this
he
bequeathed
the
succession
of
his
Kingdome
to
Nauarra
,
a
pronounced
and
excommunicate
heretick
,
must
we
not
then
say
he
dyed
in
his
sinne
?
Yea
there
is
your
griefe
,
that
is
it
that
galleth
you
:
but
why
should
Nauarra
be
excluded
,
or
what
should
defeate
him
of
his
lawful
inheritance
?
Because
forsooth
,
yee
had
proclaymed
him
for
an
heretick
,
and
throwne
out
a
thunderbolt
against
him
;
we
know
ye
did
,
and
well
we
remember
how
your
chiefe
agent
the
Guize
,
being
suborned
and
set
on
for
the
worke
,
went
about
by
an
assembly
of
the
estates
holden
at
Bloys
,
to
cause
him
to
be
publikely
declared
,
as
vncapeable
of
al
temporal
inheritance
and
succession
in
France
,
we
know
ye
expelled
and
cast
him
out
:
but
what
saith
Saint
Gregory
,
saepe
qui
foras
mittitur
intus
est
,
&
foris
est
qui
intus
retinetur
:
it
may
fall
out
that
Ionas
shall
be
cast
out
of
the
Ship
,
when
Cham
shall
be
reserued
in
the
Arke
,
and
yet
neither
the
Arke
retaining
the
one
shall
make
him
a
member
of
the
Church
,
nor
shall
the
Sea
swallowing
vp
the
other
,
exclude
him
from
the
presence
of
God
:
the
Pope
is
like
a
waspe
,
no
sooner
angry
,
but
out
commeth
a
sting
,
which
being
out
is
like
a
fooles
dagger
,
ratling
and
snapping
without
an
edge
,
and
though
sometime
their
censure
hath
been
forcible
,
yet
in
these
degenerate
times
,
since
their
first
defection
and
apostacy
,
they
haue
stoode
in
the
holy
place
as
idolls
,
keyes
they
haue
and
open
not
,
stings
they
haue
and
prick
not
:
the
Pope
did
sometime
excommunicate
the
Florentines
,
when
the
lawyers
notwithstanding
pronounced
his
excommunication
voyde
;
and
if
your
censure
against
Nauarra
were
as
iust
as
it
was
famous
,
why
did
ye
not
then
satisfie
the
challenge
,
which
both
he
and
the
Prince
of
Conde
demaunded
at
your
hands
,
wheras
immediatly
after
the
sentence
of
excommunication
passed
out
against
them
,
they
called
for
a
general
counsaile
of
christian
Princes
and
Prelates
,
wherein
they
promised
themselues
in
person
to
debate
,
and
that
hand
to
hand
against
your
holines
,
whether
the
sentence
so
passed
out
against
them
were
lawfull
,
and
vppon
lawfull
causes
pronounced
,
which
challenge
as
it
was
published
to
the
whole
world
,
so
was
it
fastened
vpon
your
pallace
gate
in
Rome
,
and
yet
after
so
foule
a
refusall
,
and
shunning
of
triall
ye
shame
not
still
to
crie
out
,
a
pronounced
heretick
,
an
excommunicate
heretick
;
indéede
we
must
confesse
yee
haue
offered
him
triall
,
but
such
as
neither
the
true
Church
doth
willingly
incline
to
,
neither
trueth
it selfe
will
bée
decided
by
,
when
the
word
faileth
ye
fall
to
the
sword
;
how
often
haue
ye
since
that
time
prouoked
him
?
Since
the
yeare
1586.
fiue
seuerall
armies
haue
yee
brought
into
the
field
against
him
:
thrée
in
Guyen
and
Poictu
,
and
two
in
Daulphin
and
Auergne
:
I
speake
not
of
the
battaile
at
Coutraz
,
1587.
nor
of
the
sundry
inrodes
and
incursions
,
wherewith
since
his
first
inuesting
with
the
Crowne
,
ye
haue
forreyed
out
against
him
;
thus
ye
trie
out
the
trueth
,
defend
your
faith
,
and
maintaine
your
cause
:
but
good
God
,
how
hast
thou
deliuered
him
from
their
hands
,
euen
as
a
bird
escaping
out
of
the
snare
of
the
fowler
?
When
there
was
for
nomber
no
equality
,
for
humane
power
no
proportion
,
when
nothing
was
left
to
increase
any
expectation
or
hope
of
victory
,
then
didst
thou
cause
him
to
triumph
ouer
their
tyranny
,
as
Dauid
treading
vpon
the
carkas
of
Golias
;
which
extraordinary
fauour
of
God
,
if
it
were
but
ordinarily
considered
,
it
would
turne
the
fury
of
a
nomber
into
loyaltie
and
obedience
,
and
teach
them
to
know
,
that
euen
the
angells
in
heauen
are
vp
in
armes
to
garde
him
,
against
whom
they
haue
caryed
armes
so
long
;
but
God
hath
blinded
their
eyes
,
that
they
should
not
sée
:
I
speake
it
to
your
shame
,
ye
frantick
and
vnbridled
Frenchmen
:
whome
haue
yee
thus
mortally
pursued
?
Whome
doo
ye
as
yet
with
daily
endeuour
persecute
?
The
world
is
witnes
that
France
neuer
bred
such
a
flower
:
would
yee
haue
a
martiall
Knight
?
why
then
behold
Nauarra
,
behold
him
(
I
say
)
after
20.
yeares
trouble
,
(
the
siege
of
Troy
twise
told
)
still
conquering
and
suruiuing
,
valiant
in
armes
,
patient
in
labours
,
mercifull
in
victories
,
politick
,
successefull
,
aduentrous
,
a
perfect
souldier
at
all
pointes
;
search
but
your
Chronicles
,
and
tell
me
,
if
Charles
the
great
were
euer
greater
;
would
ye
haue
a
perfect
and
accomplisht
gentleman
?
why
then
behold
him
,
whose
princely
comportment
and
behauiour
,
staineth
all
Spanish
Magnificoes
,
all
Italian
Machiauellists
whatsoeuer
,
a
man
deepely
instructed
,
ciuily
nurtured
,
royally
descended
,
honestly
disposed
,
a
man
affable
without
dissimulation
,
wise
without
subtilty
,
religious
without
hipocrisie
,
meek
,
liberal
,
modest
,
and
euery
way
a
Gentleman
;
but
would
ye
haue
a
catholick
?
then
stay
a
while
,
put
vp
your
swords
,
and
he
wil
proue
himselfe
a
catholick
,
let
but
a
synod
be
assembled
,
a
counsell
called
,
let
both
parts
speak
,
and
the
world
shal
soone
see
who
is
a
catholick
;
in
a
word
,
will
ye
haue
a
King
?
then
looke
vpon
Nauarra
;
to
you
I
speake
you
rebellious
Leaguers
,
which
band
your selues
together
against
the
Lord
and
his
annoynted
,
which
eate
vp
Gods
people
as
bread
,
and
chop
them
in
peeces
as
flesh
for
the
Caldron
;
to
thee
I
speake
thou
great
Leuiathan
,
thou
that
dwellest
in
Lebanon
,
and
makest
thy
nest
in
the
Cedars
,
ye
are
the
men
which
trouble
Israel
:
but
behold
the
time
is
at
hand
wherein
God
will
bring
agayne
the
captiuitie
of
Sion
,
and
deliuer
his
Church
as
a
brand
taken
out
of
the
fire
:
your
sinne
is
now
at
the
height
,
your
desolation
draweth
neere
:
alas
,
the
great
citie
Babylon
,
the
mightie
citie
:
Babel
must
come
downe
and
sit
in
the
dust
,
the
daughter
Babel
must
sit
vpon
the
ground
.
Did
Charles
of
Burbon
lay
siedge
to
Rome
?
did
he
sack
your
citie
?
and
cause
your
Pope
to
be
led
as
a
prisoner
?
Take
heede
of
Henry
of
Burbon
;
the
house
belike
is
fatall
:
beside
,
I
tell
ye
it
is
ominous
that
the
conductor
of
your
League
the
Duke
of
Guize
was
slayne
vpon
Nauarraes
birth-day
,
men
will
shrewdly
think
that
the
comming
in
of
Nauarra
will
be
the
casting
out
of
the
Guize
,
and
take
vp
a
by-word
(
I
feare
me
)
Vbi
Nauarrenus
incipit
Guisij
desinunt
:
as
if
the
exaltation
of
the
house
of
Burbon
should
be
the
ruine
of
Romish
Leaguers
and
of
Rome
,
which
God
in
his
good
time
will
accomplish
:
And
though
he
stay
a
while
,
yet
sure
wee
are
he
sleepeth
not
:
and
though
as
yet
their
abhominations
defile
the
Temple
of
God
,
yet
a
time
shall
come
when
their
idolatrie
shall
be
rooted
out
,
when
thornes
and
thistles
shall
growe
vppon
their
Altars
,
then
shall
Sion
appeare
in
perfect
beautie
,
fayre
as
the
Moone
,
pure
as
the
Sunne
,
and
terrible
as
an
armie
with
banners
;
which
God
for
his
Sonne
sake
,
for
his
mercies
sake
,
for
his
Churches
sake
speedily
accomplish
:
come
Lord
Iesus
,
come
quickly
,
O
Lord
make
no
long
tarying
.
In
despight
of
Antichrist
