A
briefe
discourse
of
the
assault
committed
vpon
the
person
of
the
most
noble
Prince
,
WILLIAM
Prince
of
Orange
,
Countie
of
Nassau
,
Marques
de
la
Vere
&c.
By
Iohn
Iauregui
a
Spaniard
.
MY
Lord
the
Prince
of
Orange
,
after
he
had
heard
the
sermon
in
the
Church
on
Sonday
the
xviij
.
day
of
March
1582.
repaired
to
his
house
,
in
the
place
where
sometime
the
Castel
of
Antwerpe
stoode
,
accompanied
with
manye
Lords
and
Gentlemen
,
of
whom
some
dined
with
him
.
Immediatelie
after
he
had
dined
openly
(
as
he
was
wont
)
in
the
great
Hall
of
the
sayd
house
,
my
Lordes
the
Counties
de
Laual
,
de
Hohenlo
,
my
Lords
his
children
,
and
two
of
his
nephewes
,
children
of
my
Lorde
the
Countie
Iohn
of
Nassau
,
the
Lords
of
Boniuet
,
des
Pruneaux
,
and
other
gentlemen
accompanying
him
The
dinner
was
passed
&
spent
with
many
honest
communications
&
spéeches
,
amongst
all
others
,
was
some
spéeche
had
of
the
cruelties
committed
by
the
Spaniardes
in
these
low
Countries
.
A
little
after
dinner
,
the
sayde
Prince
repayred
into
his
withdrawing
chamber
,
intending
to
go
into
his
bedde
Chamber
with
the
sayd
Lords
and
gentlemen
,
and
as
he
passed
by
,
shewed
them
a
péece
of
tapistrie
,
wherein
were
liuelye
set
forth
the
Spanish
souldiours
.
At
the
sayd
instant
,
a
yong
man
of
low
stature
shot
at
the
sayd
Prince
with
a
dagge
,
charged
with
one
only
pellet
,
the
shot
wherof
hit
him
vnder
the
right
eare
,
&
passed
through
the
pallet
of
his
mouth
and
came
forth
at
his
left
chéeke
,
néere
vnto
his
vpper
iaw
bone
:
the
saide
Lorde
(
as
since
he
hath
said
many
times
)
did
not
know
what
it
was
,
but
thought
that
some
parte
of
the
house
had
fallen
,
for
he
felt
not
himself
to
be
stricken
:
notwithstanding
his
sighte
was
a
little
while
dazeled
.
Immediatelye
some
of
the
Lords
&
gentlemen
then
next
at
hand
,
stroke
the
said
yong
man
twice
or
thrice
into
the
bodie
with
their
swordes
,
and
so
the
saide
Princes
garde
drawing
nigh
,
made
an
ende
of
him
with
their
Haulberds
.
In
the
meane
time
the
sayd
Prince
being
aduertised
what
had
happened
,
&
the
rather
by
féeling
the
fyre
that
had
taken
hold
of
his
haire
,
and
hearing
the
noise
about
the
murderer
,
cried
out
,
kil
him
not
,
I
forgiue
him
my
death
:
and
so
turning
to
sundrie
French
Lords
,
said
vnto
them
:
O
how
faithfull
a
seruaunt
doeth
his
highnesse
lose
and
so
was
straight
ledde
betwéene
two
(
that
helde
him
vp
by
the
armes
)
into
his
chamber
:
for
he
coulde
goe
,
and
fell
not
with
the
blow
.
The
brute
hereof
wente
presentlye
ouer
all
the
towne
,
which
brought
most
men
into
a
maze
,
by
reason
of
so
sodaine
and
vnloked for
a
matter
,
and
that
in
the
person
of
such
a
one
,
as
among
all
men
was
holden
&
reputed
for
a
deliuerer
of
the
Countrie
,
further
,
because
the
murderer
was
presently
dead
,
all
men
iudged
that
the
way
to
verifie
and
iustifie
the
facte
,
was
quite
shut
vp
.
Many
and
dyuerse
were
the
spéeches
hereof
:
some
through
suspition
accusing
others
,
and
few
hitting
vpon
the
truth
and
attributing
the
least
to
them
who
were
the
very
authours
indéede
:
so
as
if
suche
a
déede
had
bene
committed
in
manye
townes
where
the
people
haue
the
bridle
at
libertie
,
and
may
at
their
pleasure
run
from
place
to
place
,
it
had
bene
likelie
that
some
great
mischief
and
inconuenience
might
haue
ensued
:
But
in
the
town
of
Antwerp
(
such
is
the
order
and
obedience
that
all
men
do
yéeld
to
their
Magistrates
,
Coronels
&
Captayns
)
immediately
al
the
citizens
withdrew
themselues
to
their
Ensignes
ech
one
in
his
quarter
,
and
the
chaines
being
drawne
,
&
the
body
of
the
gard
filled
,
there
was
no
way
lefte
for
any
to
departe
from
his
garde
but
the
Captaines
.
My
Lord
the
Duke
of
Brabant
was
spéedily
aduertised
of
this
mishappe
,
and
béeing
at
the
first
certifyed
of
no
other
than
death
,
he
was
greatly
astonied
,
and
sighing
verye
déepely
,
complained
to
himself
of
the
extreme
losse
which
thereby
he
sustained
:
repeating
oftentimes
,
that
if
the
king
his
owne
father
had
bene
aliue
againe
,
he
could
not
haue
bene
more
sorie
for
his
death
,
than
for
the
death
of
the
said
Prince
:
where
on
the
other
side
the
Prince
bewayled
him
no
lesse
,
rehearsing
oftentimes
these
wordes
:
Alas
poore
Prince
,
alas
poore
Prince
,
what
pains
must
thou
yet
take
?
Whiles
most
part
of
his
seruants
that
were
present
,
as
also
those
which
at
the
brute
of
the
newes
were
come
in
,
employed
themselues
about
the
said
L
Princes
person
,
his
sonne
the
Earle
Maurice
,
notwithstanding
his
heauie
mourning
,
departed
not
from
the
dead
corps
which
he
caused
to
be
searched
:
&
first
they
light
vpon
the
dag
which
was
fallen
out
of
his
hande
,
that
caused
them
to
thinke
that
he
had
no
meanes
to
vse
a
dagger
,
which
they
found
naked
in
his
bréeches
.
In
the
meane
season
the
Earle
of
Hohenlo
,
for
feare
of
further
inconuenience
,
causing
the
sayd
Princes
gard
and
diuerse
Gentlemen
to
follow
him
,
seased
vpon
the
doores
of
the
house
,
so
to
kéepe
all
suche
as
were
not
verye
well
knowne
,
from
comming
in
or
going
forth
.
The
dead
corps
being
further
searched
,
they
found
about
him
certaine
papers
and
Pamphlets
which
were
deliuered
to
the
said
Erle
Maurice
,
the
which
at
that
instant
finding
one
of
the
seruants
of
my
Lord
his
father
shewed
him
the
said
Papers
,
and
wéeping
saide
,
behold
what
the
wicked
wretch
had
about
him
:
who
answered
him
,
my
Lord
be
not
discomforted
,
God
is
mightie
and
able
to
preserue
my
Lord
your
father
,
but
kéepe
these
papers
wel
,
for
we
are
greatly
troubled
about
discouering
somewhat
of
this
cursed
wretche
:
for
otherwise
in
this
Town
we
shal
incur
great
peril
.
To
the
which
he
did
replie
,
alas
I
am
afrayde
least
here
be
some
other
villaine
that
may
take
them
from
me
,
this
yong
Lord
being
the
rather
moued
to
say
so
,
because
there
went
a
speeche
through
the
Hall
,
giuen
foorth
by
some
,
that
those
which
had
killed
the
murderer
,
were
partakers
of
the
fact
,
and
that
men
might
be
assured
of
it
,
so
that
the
daunger
beganne
to
fall
likewise
vpon
the
best
friendes
of
the
said
Lord
Prince
,
and
vppon
his
houshold
.
Vpon
this
talke
of
the
sayd
yong
Erle
,
the
said
seruaunt
tooke
him
vnder
his
Cloke
,
and
said
vnto
him
,
my
Lord
go
with
me
,
and
I
will
lay
your
Papers
in
safetie
,
whiche
hée
did
,
bringing
him
into
the
roofe
of
the
house
,
where
committing
the
said
papers
to
safe
custody
,
he
perceiued
that
they
were
written
in
Spanish
,
wherefore
he
said
to
the
Earle
,
My
Lord
,
there
is
no
danger
to
be
feared
on
your
part
,
returne
and
cause
further
searche
to
bée
made
:
as
for
me
.
I
go
to
my
Lord
:
which
was
done
.
Then
the
said
seruant
began
to
certifie
euery
one
,
that
it
was
a
Spaniarde
,
and
that
men
should
leaue
the
missconceiued
suspition
which
they
had
.
A
while
after
returned
the
sayd
yong
Earle
,
bringing
mo
Papers
,
Crosses
,
&
an
Agnus
Dei
,
with
a
gréene
wax
Candle
,
&
two
pieces
of
skin
,
like
vnto
a
beauers
:
which
occasioned
many
to
be
of
opinion
that
he
had
about
him
some
Toades
and
enchantments
.
The
saide
seruant
began
to
reade
the
first
Papers
:
whiche
he
founde
to
be
,
partlye
praiers
,
and
partly
vowes
,
and
then
he
brake
the
couer
of
a
packet
of
letters
,
and
found
that
it
was
written
in
Spanish
,
by
one
Spaniard
to
another
,
of
the
whiche
he
did
certifie
euerie
man
,
but
would
not
open
the
rest
alone
A
little
after
came
the
Lord
de
S.
Aldegonde
,
who
had
alreadie
bene
with
his
highnesse
,
and
being
returned
,
saide
to
the
same
seruant
,
we
must
take
aduise
what
is
to
be
done
,
for
there
is
great
trouble
in
the
Town
:
whervnto
he
answered
,
my
Lord
,
if
it
please
you
,
let
vs
withdraw
our selues
for
a
while
to
communicate
therof
,
I
thinke
you
shal
finde
counsell
readie
:
and
then
they
wente
by
themselues
because
of
the
great
preasse
of
people
that
was
about
them
,
and
the
saide
Lord
did
open
the
rest
of
the
saide
packet
,
in
which
were
founde
two
letters
of
exchaunge
,
the
one
of
2000.
crownes
,
and
the
other
of
877.
with
letters
of
aduice
,
all
in
Spanish
,
and
by
Spaniards
:
the
bookes
were
of
seruices
to
be
performed
at
certain
set
hours
:
also
one
Iesuits
Catechisme
&
a
paire
of
tables
written
from
one
ende
to
the
other
.
Then
praising
God
,
that
had
giuen
them
such
light
of
the
matter
,
the
Lord
de
S.
Aldegonde
,
resolued
to
go
straight
to
the
Town
house
,
&
passing
by
the
Gard
,
to
assure
them
that
it
was
done
be
Spaniards
,
whiche
he
did
hope
to
verifie
:
and
would
carrie
with
him
the
writing
tables
and
the
most
parte
of
the
writings
:
appointing
others
to
go
to
his
highnes
with
the
other
part
,
to
aduertise
him
,
and
not
to
depart
from
his
person
:
which
was
done
.
In
passing
by
,
the
said
Lorde
of
Saint
Aldegonde
went
also
in
to
his
highnesse
,
&
shewed
him
the
sayde
Papers
.
In
the
mean
time
was
the
first
dressing
.
And
the
Prince
was
layde
in
his
bedde
,
and
afterward
such
as
were
next
about
him
and
most
skilfull
,
began
to
conceiue
some
sparke
of
hope
,
by
reason
he
had
his
sight
and
spake
well
,
especially
because
his
vnderstanding
&
iudgement
was
very
certaine
,
also
that
being
forbidden
much
speech
,
he
wrote
stedfast
and
quicke
.
While
these
things
were
in
doing
,
there
came
in
one
of
the
Captaines
of
the
towne
,
named
Lion
Petit
,
demaunding
whether
he
were
aliue
or
deade
,
who
,
when
the
said
seruant
requested
him
to
let
the
sayde
L.
Prince
take
his
rest
for
that
time
,
affirming
that
he
hoped
of
his
recouerie
,
answered
that
the
people
would
neuer
be
content
vnlesse
he
assured
them
that
hée
had
séene
him
:
Wherevpon
he
was
caused
to
enter
in
:
then
after
some
spéeches
,
demaunding
what
it
pleased
the
L.
Prince
to
commaund
him
,
he
saide
:
Commend
me
hartily
to
the
people
,
and
will
them
not
to
trouble
themselues
,
&
if
it
please
God
to
take
me
to
him selfe
,
that
they
obey
&
faithfully
serue
this
prince
,
for
I
know
none
in
the
worlde
better
or
more
méete
for
them
.
His
highnesse
hauing
séene
the
letters
of
Exchaunge
and
other
the
writings
brought
vnto
him
,
commended
them
to
Martini
the
Recorder
of
the
town
,
who
then
was
with
him
,
to
cary
them
to
the
Magistrate
of
the
towne
,
and
to
examine
those
to
whome
the
letters
of
Exchaunge
were
directed
:
In
the
meane
time
hauing
assembled
the
counsel
of
Estate
,
he
dispatched
a
Commission
directed
vnto
the
general
Estates
,
the
counsell
of
Estate
,
the
Magistrate
of
the
towne
,
the
Coronells
,
Captaines
,
&
Wardens
of
occupations
,
with
all
diligence
to
procéede
,
commaunding
all
men
vnder
paine
of
death
to
declare
what
they
knewe
concerning
the
sayd
Murderer
.
Nowe
had
the
Magistrate
in
the
meane
time
(
who
already
had
begun
to
procéede
herein
,
and
by
the
sayd
papers
and
writing
tables
had
found
that
the
Murtherer
was
of
the
house
of
a
Spaniard
,
named
Iasper
d'Anastro
)
taken
order
that
all
that
were
in
the
sayd
house
should
be
committed
to
prison
,
which
was
done
.
But
they
found
that
the
sayd
Anastro
himselfe
departed
the
tuesday
before
toward
Bruges
Then
were
the
Coronels
and
Captaines
aduertised
by
the
Magistrate
,
also
all
the
Inhabitants
by
their
Gouernours
,
that
all
this
webbe
was
wouen
by
the
Spanyards
:
whervpon
the
whole
towne
grew
to
quietnesse
,
remainyng
neuerthelesse
in
armes
,
for
the
assistance
of
iustice
.
At
the
first
examination
of
Antony
Venero
they
could
not
finde
any
great
matter
,
but
this
onely
,
that
they
knewe
the
Murtherers
person
:
Howbeit
for
that
he
confessed
that
the
same
day
Masse
had
bene
celebrated
secretly
in
the
sayd
Anastro
his
house
,
at
all
aduentures
vpon
suspition
they
apprehended
one
Antony
Timmerman
,
of
the
order
of
the
white
Friers
.
Neuerthelesse
it
was
decréed
,
that
the
Murderers
body
should
be
set
vpon
a
scaffold
in
the
towne
to
shew
it
to
the
people
,
to
the
end
to
know
it
,
which
thing
was
done
:
but
so
soone
as
he
was
séene
in
the
great
market
place
,
euery
one
knew
it
presently
to
be
the
body
of
Iohn
Iauregui
a
Spaniard
,
the
seruant
of
Iasper
Anastro
:
yea
the
sayde
Venero
séeing
him
dead
,
knew
him
.
The
next
morning
the
xix
.
of
March
,
as
all
the
gates
of
the
towne
of
Antwerp
were
diligently
kept
,
in

the
Post
of
Bruges
arriued
,
who
hauing
shewed
his

to
the
Garde
of
the
Riuer
gate
,
there
were
found
letters
of
the
sayd
Anastro
directed
to
Venero
,
which
were
caried
to
his
highnesse
and
to
the
Magistrate
of
the
towne
.
Further
,
the
Magistrate
appointed
,
that
the
same
day
the
Murtherers
body
should
be
quartered
,
and
his
head
set
vpon
the
Bulwarke
toward
Ril
,
and
his
quarters
vpon
the
foure
principall
gates
,
which
was
done
.
The
next
day
his
highnesse
and
the
Counsell
of
estate
decréed
,
that
throughout
all
the
Churches
there
should
be
extraordinarie
prayers
vnto
God
for
the
health
of
the
sayde
L.
Prince
.
Also
by
the
Magistrate
of
the
towne

proclaimed
throughout
the
towne

:
also
commaundement
was
giuen
that
euery

to

letters
were
shewed
to
Venero
,
who
séeing
him selfe
thereby
confounded
and
conuicted
,
and
being
,
as
by
his
confession
it
appeareth
,
admonished
by
one
of
the
Coronels
&
others
,
required
paper
and
inke
,
and
with
his
owne
hand
wrote
and
signed
his
second
confession
.
The
Prince
thinking
the
houre
of
his
decease
to
drawe
neare
,
dispatched
the
L.
S.
Aldegonde
with
letters
directed
to
the
generall
estates
,
wherein
,
as
his
last
counsel
,
he
wished
them
to
persist
in
his
highnesse
obedience
declaring
vnto
them
that
he
iudged
him
to
be
the
onely
Prince
that
was
most
fit
for
them
,
according
to
the
tenure
whereof
,
the
sayde
Lordes
sent
their
Deputies
to
his
highnesse
,
to
aduertise
him
of
their
faithfull
affection
.
Vpon
wednesday
following
was
the
fast
with
extraordinary
prayers
celebrated
,
and
that
with
such
multitude
and
concourse
of
people
,
in
all
the
Churches
of
both
languages
,
as
time
out
of
mind
the
like
numbers
of
people
haue
not
bene
séene
in
the
Churches
of
Antwerp
,
neither
so
many
wéeping
eyes
.
Howbeit
for
that
the
Phisitions
and
Surgeons
began
to
conceiue
some
hope
of
the
recouerie
of
the
sayde
Prince
,
the
prayers
were
partely
mixed
with
thankes
giuings
for
this
good
beginning
,
with
humble
supplication
,
that
it
might
please
God
to
accomplish
his
health
.
Now
began
the
sayde
L.
Princes
person
to
drawe
to
amendment
,
and
dayly
did
his
highnesse
carefully
visit
him
,
who
séemed
,
and
in
déede
did
●ake
great
care
for
him
,
as
likewise
the
L.
Prince
did
for
him
,
vppon
euerye
occasion
commending
his
seruice
.
On
the
other
side
,
the
Magistrate
was
as
diligent
in
procéeding
against
the
offendors
:
so
as
finally
he
atteyned
to
the
truth
of
the
whole
matter
,
as
it
wil
appeare
in
the
depositions
of
the
sayd
offendors
.
But
the
L.
Prince
hearing
that
they
purposed
to
procéede
to
definitiue
sentence
,
did
by
writing
expreslye
commaund
the
L.
of
S.
Aldegonde
,
to
request
the
Magistrate
to
punish
them
with
the
easiest
death
that
might
be
:
which
was
done
:
for
by
the
Magistrates
sentence
the
wednesday
28.
of
the
sayd
moneth
they
were
set
at
a
stake
vpon
a
scaffold
in
the
middest
of
the
great
market
,
ouer
against
the
towne
house
,
and
by
the
hangman
strangled
,
their
bodies
quartered
,
and
hanged
ouer
the
chiefe
gates
of
the
towne
,
and
their
heades
pitched
vppon
two
of
the
great
bulwarkes
which
heretofore
were
part
of
the
castle
.
Antony
Timmerman
the
white
Frier
the
same
day
exhibited
his
second
confession
,
wherein
he
acknowledged
that
he
had
bene
of
opinion
that
the
sayd
Iaregui
might
with
a
safe
conscience
execute
the
sayd
enterprise
:
but
that
nowe
being
better
instructed
by
such
good
admonitions
as
had
bene
giuen
him
,
he
confessed
that
he
had
erred
,
&
therefore
besought
the
Lords
of
Iustice
not
to
forget
his
sayd
protestation
,
if
euer
this
processe
were
published
.
Within
few
dayes
after
the
sayd
execution
,
his
highnesse
receiued
from
sundry
places
letters
which
the
Prince
of
Parma
had
written
to
the
townes
,
wherein
he
endeuored
to
perswade
them
to
withdraw
them selues
from
his
obedience
,
laying
his
foundation
vppon
the
death
of
the
sayd
L.
Prince
,
wherevpon
the
sayde
townes
besought
his
highnesse
of
counsaile
.
These
were
the
townes
:
Brussels
,
Gaunt
,
Bridges
,
Malines
,
Ipres
,
Audernarde
,
Dunkirk
,
Berghe
and
sundry
others
.
Finally
the
towne
of
Antwerpe
also
receiued
the
like
letters
.
Annastro
also
sent
letters
to
the
towne
of
Gaunt
,
tending
to
the
same
ende
,
which
Venero
his
deposition
doth
containe
:
so
that
he
wrote
to
all
places
where
he
had
any
accesse
.
All
the
sayd
letters
,
as
well
from
the
Prince
of
Parma
as
from
Annastro
were
grounded
vpon
the
assurance
which
they
had
conceiued
of
the
death
of
the
sayd
L.
Prince
,
whom
God
hath
hitherto
neuerthelesse
preserued
,
and
will
still
of
his
mercie
kéepe
and
preserue
,
if
he
please
.

que

de

y
a

,
y
Saserd●te
para

y
comulgarme
por
lo

à
la

.
E
yo
el
dic
ho
Antonio
de
Venero
confiando
en
la
palabra
y
nobleza
de
los
dichos
sennores
de
que
assi
lo
cumpliran
,
digo
lo
seguiente
.
PRIMERAMENTE
,
es
,
que
Iuan
do
Ysunca
vezino
de
victoria
,
proueedor
de
fue
de
las
armadas
en
estos
estados
,
escriuio
al
dicho
Annastro
vna
carta
de
Lisbona
,
aura
diez
meses
poco
mas
menos
,
en
que
le
pedia
diuersos
menages
,
sin
aerle
escripto
hastae
entonces
,
diziendole
que
teria
por
cosa
nueua
el
auer
carta
suya
,
mas
que
lo
hazia
por
estar
en
Lisbona
,
supplicandole
le
embiase
lo
que
pedia
.
Y
el
dicho
Gasper
de
Annastro
le
respondiò
con
palabras
cortesanas
,
escusando
se
de
no
embiar
selos
,
auiendolo
hecho
por
no
auerle
embiado
dineros
,
y
por
verse
a
la
sazon
rico
,
y
sin
gana
de
fiarle
lo
que
le
pedia
.
Y
el
dicho
Iuan
de
Ysunca
respondio
à
estio
,
rogandole
se
los
embiasse
,
porque
le
hazian
mucha
falta
,
hallandose
en
Lisbona
por
conseruar
su
autoridad
,
atento
que
entendia
que
su
Magestad
le
queria
dar
vn
cargo
muy
honroso
,
y
que
lo
hiziesse
,
porque
le
communi●
carta
vn
negocio
de
grandissima
importancia
,
y
que
redondaria
en
gran
bien
,
honor
,
y
beneficio
suyo
.
Otra
vez
le
respondiò
con
nueuas
escusas
,
y
d'estilo
cortesano
,
y
en
effecto
jamas
le
embio
dichos
menajes
:
pero
le
escriuio
que
que
negocio
podia
ser
el
que
lo
cometia
,
y
de
tanta
importancia
,
y
que
se
lo
auisasse
.
Estas
des
cartas
arriba
vi
yo
el
dicho
Antonio
de
Venero
,
y
despues
vino
la
respuesta
d'esta
carta
,
en
que
el
dicho
Iuan
de
Ysunça
declaro
el
negocio
,
y
leyo
la
carta
:
y
de
entonces
aca
me
ordenò
a
mi
el
dicho
Antonio
de
Venero
que
no
le
abriesse
ninguna
carta
que
vtniesse
cerrada
à
la
corte
saena
.
Y
en
este
tiempo
,
que
pudieron
ser
cinco
o
seys
meses
,
poco
mas
o
menos
,
anduuieron
los
dichos
Iuan
de
Ysunça
y
Gaspar
de
Annastro
en
demandas
y
respuestas
,
escriutendose
cartas
vnos
a
otros
con
mucho
secreto
,
y
el
dicho
Gaspar
de
Annastro
le
respondia
en
su
camara
siempre
de
su
mano
,
cerrando
las
cartas
con
lacre
,
y
lo
mas
disfraçado
que
podia
.
En
todo
este
tiempo
estuue
yo
el
dicho
Antonio
de
Venero
innocente
de
tal
caso
,
echando
imaginacion
que
le
trataua
casamiento
con
la
hija
de
Iuan
Ruyz
de
Vergara
,
hermano
de
Francisco
Ruyz
de
Vergara
,
que
ha
viuido
en
Anberes
,
por
auerselo
escripto
al
dicho
Gaspar
de
Annastro
donna
Maria
de
Ysunça
su
madre
,
y
que
como
sabian
estaua
rico
,
y
era
de
los
masqualificados
de
dicha
Vitoria
,
se
ladarian
con
muchos
ducados
.
Y
como
digo
yo
el
dicho
Antonio
de
Venero
entendi
que
estos
serian
los
secretos
y
que
tardaeuan
en
resoluerse
,
porque
pediria
el
dicho
Annastro
aun
mas
dote
de
lo
que
offrescian
,
por
gozar
con
mas
larguesa
desu
grauedad
.
Despues
parece
ser
que
se
perdieron
dos
naos
Flamencas
que
yuan
a
Laredo
,
y
que
fue
robada
en
Plemua
la
nao
de
Philipe
Dorio
que
yua
tambien
à
Biscaya
.
En
las
quales
dichas
tres
naos
tuuo
muy
gruessas
perdidas
,
de
que
el
se
vio
con
grandissimo
trabajo
y
descontento
de
espiritu
,
sin
saber
que
hazerse
para
poder
passar
adelante
con
su
honor
.
En
este
instante
esciruio
el
dicho
Iuan
de
Ysunça
al
dicho
Gaspar
de
An̄astro
,
sin
saberlo
yo
tampoco
,
yera
que
hiziesse
matar
a
su
Excellencia
el
Principe
d'Orange
,
y
que
lo
tenta
tratado
con
su
Magestad
en
grandissimo
secreto
,
sin
que
nadie
lo
supiesse
,
sino
entre
los
dos
:
y
auia
hecho
hazer
à
su
Magestad
vna
capitulacion
firmado
de
su
mano
,
en
que
leprometia
,
despues
de
sabido
la
nueua
ciertà
dela
muerte
de
su
Excellentia
,
ochen●
ta
mil
duchados
en
dinero
,
o
el
valor
d'ellos
en
renta
,
y
vn
habito
de
Sanctiago
,
y
que
esto
estaua
por
escrito
,
y
que
aun
haria
otras
muchas
cosas
,
de
darle
cargos
honrosos
:
porque
auia
dicho
y
assegurado
el
dicho
Iuan
de
Ysunça
à
su
Magestad
,
que
el
dicho
Annastr
era
vn
hombre
de
muy
claero
entendimiento
,
y
de
muchas
prendas
.
En
este
instante
ami
el
dicho
Antonio
de
Venero
no
me
consta
que
este
negocio
lo
supiesse
persona
nascida
:
antes
me
asseguro
al
parecer
mio
,
que
por
ningunae
cosa
del
mundo
se
descubriera
el
dicho
Gaspar
de
Annastro
de
n●nguna
nacion
estrangera
para
tal
caso
.
Y
puesto
caso
que
en
Anberes
no
ay
Espan̄oles
à
quien
poderlo
descubrir
,
torno
à
dezir
,
que
verdaderamente
me
paerece
que
no
lo
dixo
à
persona
ninguna
,
y
esto
affirmo
assi
por
poder
penetrar
de
otra
cesa
.
A●ra
tra●este
tiempo
,
aura
como
vn
mes
,
tuuo
recelos
de
otra
desgracia
nueuamente
,
de
que
deuian
de
ester
attaiados
de
haziendo
de
mercaderes
,
con
quien
el
tenta
muy
gruessointeresse
,
de
qui
antidad
de
nueue
mil
quinientas
libras
de
gruesso
,
poco
mas
o
menos
de
mercaderias
qu'
el
le
au●a
emb●ado
,
y
cangazonesque
auiae
hecho
para
embiar
à
ellos
,
por
cuenta
de
algunos
,
Ingleses
de
Londres
,
y
par
letras
de
cambio
que
auiae
acceptado
y
pagaedo
llanamente
por
ellos
.
Y
viendose
in
tantos
trabaios
,
y
que
d'este
vltimo
el
no
tenia
culpa
alguna
,
pues
si
a
el
le
hazias
hancoroto
con
tanta
summa
,
el
no
lo
podia
remediar
en
ningunà
manera
,
de
se
ausentar
tambien
.
Y
en
este
instante
me
llamó
à
su
camara
a
mi
el
dicho
Antonio
de
Venero
,
y
encargandome
mucho
el
secreto
,
y
llorando
muchas
lagrimas
,
me
dixo
la
substancia
declarada
,
y
de
lo
tratado
con
el
dicho
Iuan
de
Ysunca
,
y
me
mostro
algunas
cartas
de
las
qu'l
dicho
Iuan
de
Ysunça
le
auia
escripto
,
en
que
le
hazia
buenas
todas
las
promessas
suso
decluradas
,
y
las
cartas
venian
escriptas
diebolica
e
ingenio
samente
sin
firma
,
y
el
dicho
Iuan
de
Ysunça
paresce
ser
que
dio
cuenta
del
negocio
en
Espanna
a
vn
hijo
suyo
que
estaua
en
Madrid
,
llamado
Pedro
de
Ysunça
Le
Queytio
,
y
este
mismo
tambien
le
escriuia
por
muy
buen
termino
,
assegurandole
la
misma
substancia
con
muchas
prendas
,
y
firmandose
en
la
firma
Apodaca
.
Estas
cartas
quemo
en
el
aposento
despues
de
auerme
mostrado
(
como
digo
)
la
substancia
d'ellas
.
Y
en
esto
comenso
à
discurrir
con
migo
,
dizendo
,
que
no
queria
verse
à
resistir
tantas
affrentas
,
como
se
le
aparetauan
,
y
que
se
queria
encomendar
à
Dios
de
todo
coraçon
,
y
matar
el
mismo
à
su
Excellencia
el
Principe
de
Orange
:
y
que
si
le
acauassen
,
por
cierto
que
el
queria
quador
alli
,
por
que
era
meior
morir
,
que
no
viuir
(
siendo
el
quien
era
)
en
affrenta
,
de
que
le
dixiessen
por
el
en
la
bolsa
de
Anberes
,
mirad
aquel
hombre
que
a
hecho
bancaroto
,
y
que
llegandolas
cosas
a
este
termino
ninguno
,
consideraria
à
que
no
era
la
culpa
suya
:
sino
echarle
mucha
culpa
quando
no
la
tuuiesse
,
y
que
deuia
muchos
dineros
en
Anberes
a
los
principales
,
y
que
tenian
mando
en
la
tierra
,
y
le
perseguirian
cruelmente
,
y
que
assi
determinaua
de
morir
,
y
que
y
a
sabia
que
lleuaua
la
muerte
tragada
:
pero
que
conesto
se
encabriria
,
y
queno
se
attribuyria
a
dar
nombre
de
bancaroto
à
su
desgracia
.
Todo
lo
dezia
llorando
.
E
yo
viendole
tan
de
sconsolado
,
lloraua
mucho
mas
,
y
le
roguè
,
que
por
amor
de
Dios
no
buscasse
con
sus
manos
la
muerte
,
y
que
tuuiesse
patiencia
de
las
cosas
que
Dios
hazia
,
y
que
pues
no
era
suya
la
culpa
,
resistiesse
al
trabaio
que
le
sobreuenia
,
mostrando
rostro
à
sus
acrecdores
,
y
la
razon
en
la
mano
,
que
le
destruyan
Pedro
Nunnez
de
Arbulu
,
y
Pedro
de
çubiaur
,
y
que
con
esto
se
suffriesie
.
El
me
respondia
,
que
no
ternia
rostro
para
mirar
à
nadie
,
y
que
assi
estaua
en
su
proposito
,
e
yo
se
lo
contradezia
mucho
,
diziendo
otra
vez
,
que
lo
encomendasse
todo
à
Dios
y
aguardasse
à
la
desgracia
.
En
estas
platicas
(
que
eran
vndia
de
labor
à
la
tarde
,
despues
de
la
bolsa
)
entro
en
su
aposento
Andres
de
la
Maça
que
viue
en
casa
,
innocente
de
todo
,
y
assi
se
quedo
esto
assi
sin
hoblar
mas
d'ello
a
quello
noche
por
respecto
della
venida
del
dicho
Andres
de
la
Maça
.
Otro
dia
à
la
mannana
(
estando
en
su
camara
)
me
embiò
à
llamar
,
y
dixo
,
Pues
como
os
va
,
Antonio
hermano
?
y
le
respondi
,
que
con
mucha
tristeza
:
y
me
comencò
tratar
otar
vez
de
lo
passado
,
y
que
si
el
no
mataua
à
su
Excellencia
,
no
sabia
à
quien
encomendar
se
,
si
yo
no
fuesse
prouar

à

en
el
contador
,
porque
le
parescia

determinado
para
qualqui
era
cosa
,
y
pobre
,
E
yo
el
dicho
Antonio
de
Venero
le
respondi
,
que
seria
grandissimo
cargo
de
consciencia
,
que
el
dicho
Anastro
diesse
occasion
que

dicho
Iuan

p●rque
(
como

tanto
à
su
Excellencia
en
toda
la
tierra
.
)
quando
lo
acabasse
de
hazer
,
le
harian
pieças
.
El
dezia
,
que
no
,
sino
prenderle
,
y
saber
del
à
que
fin
lo
auia
hecho
,
y
que
en
esto
se
passarian
ocho
dias
,
despues
que
el
vuiesse
hecho
el
effecto
,
y
que
para
esto
podia
pàrtir
el
dicho
Annastro
de
Anberes
quatro
dias
antes
que
el
lo
hiziesse
,
y
yria
à
Cales
,
y
de
alla
despacharia
vn
correo
à
Rauayn
,

Le

en

effecto
,
y
que
quedaua
concertado
,
y
que

Y

En

Flamenco
del

,
que
le
lleuo
consigo
,
llamado

que
me
saliesse
del
aposento
,
y
quedo
con
el
en
el
aposento
platicando
.
Y
de
alli
vn
rato
me
llamò
à
mi
,
y
dixo
que
Iaureguy
queria
hazer
aquello
por
amor
d'el
,
y
porsu
honra
,
y
que
le
auia
mostrado
vn
pun̄al
con
que
lo
auia
de
matar
,
estando
en
la
tabla
,
o
en
conuersaecion
,
y
meterle
elpun̄al
por
detras
de
la
oreja
,
y
passarle
,
y
que
e●
Iaureguy
lo
queria
hazer
de
buena
gana
:
à
mi
me
dexo
que
que
me
parescia
,
y
le
respondi
,
que
mirasse
por
lo
que
tecaua
a
la
consciencia
,
y
que
si
tal
fuesse
,
padeceriā
much
as
muertes
los
Espannoles
que
estauan
en
Anberes
,
de
pesar
de
ver
muerto
,
al
Principe
si
le
matassen
,
y
que
yo
me
queriayr
de
la
tierra
por
no
peligrar
de
la
vida
:
y
me
dixo
,
que
nó
tuuiesse
miedo
,
que
como
el
Iaureguy
dixisse
la
verdad
claramente
,
no
tocarian
en
la
casa
,
ni
Encomion
cosa
ninguna
.
En
esto
aconsejo
ad
Iaureguy
que
por
amor
de
su
hōra
y
d'el
,
que
quedasse
resuelto
el
hecho
,
y
que
aquel
mismo
dia
fuesse
à
espiar
como
comia
su
Excellencia
,
y
assi
lo
hizo
tres
o
quatro
vezes
:
y
de
zia
,
que
tenia
gran
esperāça
de
hazerlo
,
y
aqui
tenia
grandes
platicas
con
el
Iaureguy
,
como
persona
que
auia
de
acometer
tal
cosa
.
Y
pensando
mas
en
ello
,
à
la
postre
estuuieron
en
duda
,
de
si
seria
con
pūnal
,
o
pistolete
.
Y
el
Iaureguy
dezia
que
nunca
auia
tir
ado
pistolete
,
ni
sabia
como
tirarlc●y
le
dixo
,
que
lo
fuesse
à
prouar
en
alguna
parte
con
algun
amigo
,
diziendo
que
el
dicho
Iaureguy
fuesse
Flamenco
,
y
que
no
ha
blasse
otra
lengua
:
y
le
dixo
,
de
si
,
como
lo
hizo
,
Andando
en
esto
,
llego
cartade
Londres
,
en
que
dezian
,
que
Pedro
de

y
con

de

y
se
de

El

The

,
which
of
his
owne
motion
he
made
and
willinglie
writ
and
subscribed
with
his
owne
hande
.
I
Anthonie
of
Venero
,
borne
in
Bilbao
,
the
sonne
of
Iohn
of
Venero
of
the
age
of
19.
or
20.
yeares
little
more
or
lesse
,
assistant
in

of

borne
in

,
from
the
20.
daye
of
Ianuarie
,
1580.
vnto
the
xiij
.
of
March

do
as
followeth
declare
,
what
hapned
vnto
me
with
the
said
Iasper
of
Annastro
,
being
thereof
examined
by
my
Lordes
the
Marcgraue
,
Borowmaisters
and
Shirifes
of
this
towne
of
Antwerpe
,
and
do
promise
vppon
my
oathe
,
soule
and
conscience
,
to
shew
the
whole
truth
thereof
:
not
to
cloke
or
conceale
anye
thing
,
whervpon
the
saide
Lordes
,
the
Marcgraue
,
Borowmaisters
and
Shirifes
,
haue
by
the
intreatie
of
the
Lord
Steuen
Racquet
Coronel
of
the
saide
towne
of
Antwerpe
,
promised
me
,
that
confessing
whatsoeuer
I
do
knowe
,
they
wil
grant
me
an
honorable
death
,
agréeable
to
my
desire
and
contentation
,
with
a
Prieste
also
to
confesse
me
and
to
conferre
withall
,
because
it
concerneth
the
honour
of
my
stock
:
I
Anthonie
of
Venero
reposing
my selfe
vpon
the
word
and
nobilitie
of
the
saide
Lords
,
touching
the
accomplishment
thereof
,
do
say
as
followeth
.
First
that
Iohn
of
Ysunca
borne
in
Victoria
,
aforetime
Commissioner
euer
the
furniture
of
the
armies
in
these
partes
,
writte
a
letter
to
Iasper
of
Annastro
of
Lisbone
,
aboute
ten
monethes
since
,
wherein
he
requested
of
him
certaine
goods
,
whereof
he
had
neuer
before
written
vnto
him
:
he
saide
it
woulde
be
newes
to
him
to
sée
any
of
his
letters
,
&
that
he
did
this
,
that
so
he
mighte
be
at
Lisbone
requesting
him
to
sende
him
that
which
he
demaunded
.
Hereunto
the
saide
Iasper
of
Annastro
aunswerrd
in
friendlie
wordes
,
excusing
himselfe
for
not
sending
them
,
as
well
vpon
that
he
had
not
sent
money
,
as
because
he
founde
not
him selfe
of
wealth
sufficiente
,
and
so
could
not
trust
forth
that
which
he
demaunded
.
Whereto
Iohn
of
Ysunca
answered
,
requesting
him
to
sende
the
saide
moueables
,
for
that
at
Lisbone
he
stoode
in
greate
néede
of
them
for
the
conseruation
of
his
auctoritie
,
considering
that
his
Maiestie
woulde
committe
vnto
him
a
verie
honorable
office
:
and
that
therefore
he
woulde
doe
it
:
for
hée
woulde
communicate
vnto
him
a
matter
of
verie
great
importance
,
which
would
redound
to
his
great
benefite
&
honour
.
To
the
whiche
the
said
Annastro
replied
againe
with
newe
excuses
and
curtesies
,
but
in
déede
sente
him
not
the
said
moueables
,
only
he
desired
to
vnderstand
what
matter
of
so
great
importance
it
might
be
that
he
would
communicate
vnto
him
,
wherof
he
desired
him
to
aduertise
hym
.
These
two
letters
aforesaid
did
I
the
said
Anthony
of
Venero
sée
,
afterward
came
the
answer
of
this
letter
wherin
the
said
I.
of
Y
sunca
opened
the
matter
,
&
when
Annastro
had
red
the
saide
letter
,
he
commaunded
me
Anthonie
of
Venero
aforesaid
from
thenceforth
not
to
open
any
letter
comming
sealed
after
the
maner
of
the
Court
:
from
that
time
,
which
might
be
about
5.
or
6.
monthes
since
,
the
saide
Iohn
of
Ysunca
and
Iasper
of
Annastro
haue
prosecuted
their
purposes
and
answeres
,
each
writing
to
other
verie
secretlie
,
and
the
saide
Iasper
of
Annastro
still
answering
his
letters
with
his
owne
hande
,
in
his
chamber
closing
his
letters
with
harde
waxe
the
moste
closliest
that
might
be
.
All
this
while
was
I
Anthony
of
Venero
ignoraunt
of
this
facte
,
imagining
that
it
was
some
mariage
matter
with
the
daughter
of
Iohn
Ruiz
of
Vergara
the
brother
of
Fraunces
Ruiz
of
Vergara
,
who
had
dwelt
in
this
towne
of
Antwerpe
,
and
the
rather
because
her
mother
the
Ladie
Marie
of
Ysunca
hadde
written
to
the
sayd
Iasper
of
Annastro
,
also
that
knowing
him
to
be
wealthie
and
of
the
best
qualetied
in
Victoria
they
would
bestow
her
vpon
him
with
some
good
number
of
Duckats
.
And
as
I
say
,
Anthony
of
Venero
supposed
these
to
be
the
secretes
,
and
gessed
that
they
deferred
the
finall
resolution
,
because
the
sayd
Anastro
required
for
her
dowrie
and
to
the
maintenaunce
of
her
porte
,
more
than
they
did
offer
:
It
afterward
(
as
I
remember
)
fell
so
out
,
that
two
Flemish
vessels
sayling
towards
Laredo
wer
drowned
,
also
that
at
Plemue
the
barke
of
Philip
Dorio
which
was
bound
to
Biscay
was
robbed
,
in
which
thrée
vessels
he
lost
much
,
whereby
he
grewe
into
great
care
and
anguish
of
minde
,
as
one
ignorant
how
to
behaue
him selfe
to
saue
his
credit
,
at
which
instant
the
sayd
Iohn
of
Ysunca
writ
to
the
sayd
Iasper
of
Annastro
vnwitting
to
me
:
the
effect
whereof
was
,
that
he
shoulde
procure
the
slaughter
of
the
Prince
of
Orange
,
his
excellencie
:
wherof
he
had
delt
with
his
Maiestie
verie
secretlie
,
in
suche
wise
,
as
none
but
they
two
were
acquainted
therewith
:
also
that
he
had
procured
his
Maiestie
to
set
downe
a
certaine
capitulation
whiche
also
he
had
signed
with
his
owne
hande
,
wherein
his
saide
Maiestie
promised
vpon
the
certaine
news
of
his
excellencies
death
,
to
giue
to
the
said
Annastro
80000.
Duckets
in
siluer
or
the
value
therof
in
lands
,
togither
with
a
commandership
of
S.
Iames
.
That
this
was
set
downe
in
writing
,
also
that
he
woulde
bestow
on
him
great
benefittes
with
sundrie
honorable
offices
:
for
the
saide
Iohn
of
Ysunca
had
told
and
assured
his
Maiestie
that
the
saide
Annastro
was
a
man
of
verie
good
capacitie
,
and
greats
wealth
.
All
this
while
,
I
Anthonie
of
Venero
doe
not
thinke
that
anye
one
was
able
to
speake
thereof
,
but
rather
in
my
opinion
I
durst
assure
my selfe
that
in
any
wise
the
said
Annastro
woulde
not
make
any
of
whatsoeuer
nation
or
condition
,
priuie
therevnto
:
so
that
as
in
Antwerpe
there
be
no
Spaniards
able
to
detect
him
,
so
do
I
againe
affirme
,
that
certainely
I
thinke
he
disclosed
it
to
none
:
which
I
doe
the
rather
verifie
,
because
I
can
not
other
wise
thinke
.
Now
shortly
after
this
,
and
as
it
were
a
moneth
since
he
had
some
inckling
of
an
other
new
mischance
,
namely
of
two
Merchants
,
that
were
aboute
to
break
,
by
whom
he
was
in
hazard
of
9500.
lb.
sterling
,
or
thereabout
,
for
certaine
merchandise
that
he
hadde
sent
them
,
and
other
goods
vppon
accompts
of
sundrie
Englishe
men
of
London
:
as
also
by
reason
of
certain
billes
of
exchaunge
whiche
he
had
accepted
and
faithfully
payed
to
their
vses
:
whereby
séeing
him selfe
entangled
in
so
manye
troubles
,
also
,
that
of
this
last
losse
he
was
in
no
default
,
and
not
knowing
any
remedie
,
but
by
absenting
himselfe
,
considering
they
had
played
bankerupte
with
so
greate
summes
of
his
:
he
caused
me
Anthonie
of
Venero
to
be
called
into
his
Chamber
,
and
charging
me
verie
sore
to
be
secreate
,
wyth
teares
running
down
his
chéekes
,
he
declared
vnto
me
the
substance
of
the
aforesaide
treatie
with
Iohn
of
Ysunça
,
shewing
mee
certaine
of
those
Letters
,
whiche
the
saide
Iohn
of
Ysunça
had
written
vnto
him
,
wherin
he
assured
him
of
all
the
promises
aboue
specified
,
which
letters
were
written
diuelishly
and
subtilly
without
any
subscription
:
and
it
seemed
,
that
the
saide
Iohn
of
Ysunça
,
hath
imparted
this
matter
to
a
sonne
of
his
,
who
remained
at
Madril●
called
Peter
of
Ysunça
le
Queytio
,
who
also
writte
to
him
in
verye
good
spéeches
,
assuring
him
of
the
substance
of
al
the
premises
diuersly
naming
himselfe
in
the
subscription
Apodaca
.
These
Letters
,
hauing
as
I
saide
,
shewed
me
the
substaunce
of
them
,
did
he
burne
in
his
Chamber
:
and
therevppon
entred
into
discourse
with
me
,
saying
,
that
he
neither
woulde
ne
could
digest
so
manye
shames
as
were
prouided
for
him
:
therfore
that
commending
himselfe
to
almightie
God
wyth
all
his
hearte
,
he
would
with
his
own
hands
slay
my
Lord
the
Prince
of
Orange
his
excellencie
,
&
that
in
case
he
were
slaine
about
the
execution
therof
,
yet
in
trueth
he
had
rather
perish
in
the
place
,
as
coueting
rather
to
die
than
to
liue
so
dishonorably
,
that
it
shoulde
be
saide
of
him
in
the
Burse
at
Antwerpe
,
sée
,
yonder
man
is
become
bankerupt
:
whiche
,
if
it
shoulde
so
fall
out
,
no
man
woulde
iudge
where
the
faulte
is
,
but
would
rather
impute
it
vnto
him
,
thoughe
he
were
not
faultie
.
Also
,
that
he
ought
much
money
in
Antwerpe
,
euen
to
the
beste
,
and
to
suche
as
there
bare
authoritie
,
who
would
with
rigour
procéede
againste
hym
,
and
therfore
that
he
determined
to
die
,
yea
,
and
that
alreadie
he
had
digested
death
,
but
that
by
this
meanes
he
should
couer
and
get
glorie
to
his
bankeruptship
and
discredite
.
All
this
spake
he
with
teares
:
wherevpon
I
séeing
him
so
discomforted
,
wept
much
faster
,
and
besought
him
for
Gods
loue
not
to
seke
his
death
by
his
own
hands
,
but
to
be
patient
in
Gods
doings
:
&
séeing
the
fault
was
not
in
himselfe
,
to
withstand
suche
aduersities
as
might
happen
in
shewing
a
good
face
to
his
creditours
,
and
to
let
them
know
the
reasons
,
how
Peter
Nunnes
of
Arbule
,
&
Peter
of
çubiaur
vndid
him
,
and
that
hée
shoulde
repose
himselfe
vpon
this
,
whereto
he
aunswered
,
that
he
had
not
the
face
to
looke
vpon
any
man
,
and
therefore
that
hée
was
determined
to
persiste
in
his
purpose
:
wherein
I
contraried
him
stiffely
,
sundrye
times
willing
him
to
refer
al
to
God
,
&
to
attend
better
hap
.
Vpon
this
communication
(
which
passed
in
an
euening
vpon
a
working
day
after
Burse
time
)
Andrew
de
la
Maça
,
who
notwithstanding
he
remaineth
in
the
same
house
,
is
innocent
of
al
,
came
into
his
chamber
,
so
that
by
reason
of
the
saide
Andrewes
comming
in
,
we
brake
off
talke
for
that
night
.
The
next
morning
the
saide
Anastro
being
in
his
chamber
,
sent
for
me
,
and
said
:
Now
,
brother
Anthony
how
doe
you
?
I
answered
,
but
heauely
:
herevppon
he
began
againe
to
reenter
into
the
former
matter
,
saying
,
that
if
he
himselfe
shoulde
not
slaye
his
excellencie
,
he
wist
not
to
whom
to
commit
the
doing
thereof
,
excepte
peraduenture
to
his
man
Iohn
Iaureguy
,
borne
in
Bilbao
,
who
holpe
to
write
in
the
Counting
house
,
because
he
semed
a
staied
and
resolute
yong
man
to
any
intent
whatsoeuer
,
and
poore
withall
.
Then
I
Antony
of
Venero
answered
,
that
it
woulde
be
a
great
burthen
to
his
conscience
,
if
the
saide
Annastro
should
procure
the
saide
Iaureguy
any
vile
death
:
for
séeing
his
excellencie
was
so
well
beloued
throughout
the
whole
towne
,
he
coulde
no
sooner
haue
done
the
déede
,
but
he
should
be
hewen
in
péeces
.
Nay
,
said
Annastro
,
but
they
wil
rather
apprehend
him
,
to
the
ende
to
learne
for
what
purpose
he
did
it
,
so
as
7.
or
8.
dayes
after
the
deed
,
would
be
spent
before
any
execution
,
&
that
therefore
the
saide
Annastro
mighte
departe
from
Antwerpe
,
four
dayes
before
the
déede
,
&
so
go
to
Calais
,
from
whence
he
might
dispatch
a
Poste
to
Apodaca
,
who
is
Peter
of
Ysunça
le
Queytio
,
the
sonne
of
Iohn
Ysunça
,
to
the
ende
to
giue
his
Maiestie
to
vnderstande
,
that
he
was
departed
from
the
purpose
agréede
vppon
,
then
that
from
Calais
he
woulde
goe
to
the
Prince
of
Parma
his
Campe
,
and
thence
hauing
newes
of
the
slaughter
,
he
would
send
a
trumpet
to
begge
the
life
of
the
saide
Iohn
of
Iaureguy
:
Also
,
that
Iasper
of
Annastro
himselfe
would
write
concerning
that
matter
,
&
open
himself
vnto
sundrie
hys
friends
in
the
towne
,
requiring
the
life
of
the
said
Iaureguy
,
and
sending
blanckes
signed
by
the
Prince
of
Parma
,
to
the
ende
these
Lords
might
aske
what
they
liste
for
theyr
own
aduantage
concerning
the
Religious
Vreed
and
all
other
matters
,
also
that
there
withal
after
the
prince
of
Orenges
death
they
should
enioy
and
assured
peace
.
Herevpon
a
Flemish
boy
belonging
to
the
said
Annastro
named
Ioannico
,
whom
he
hath
taken
with
him
,
came
into
the
Chamber
,
whom
he
commanded
to
call
Iohn
Iaureguy
who
was
writing
in
the
Counting
house
,
when
he
was
come
he
caused
me
to
depart
out
of
the
Chamber
,
them
hauing
a
while
talked
with
him
,
he
called
me
again
,
and
shewed
me
that
Iaureguy
for
his
sake
and
Honor
would
do
it
,
also
that
he
had
shewed
him
a
dagger
wherewith
he
shoulde
kil
him
either
at
the
Table
or
in
any
other
companie
by
thrusting
in
the
Dagger
and
wounding
him
behinde
the
eare
:
that
Iaureguy
would
doe
this
with
a
verie
good
will
,
whervpon
he
asked
my
opinion
:
I
answered
that
he
shoulde
looke
well
vnto
it
,
because
it
touched
his
conscience
:
further
,
because
that
if
this
matter
were
broughte
to
passe
,
they
would
slaie
all
the
Spaniards
in
Antwerpe
for
sorrow
of
the
Princes
death
,
and
that
therfore
I
had
rather
forsake
the
town
than
venture
my
life
.
But
he
willed
me
not
to
feare
,
saying
that
although
Iaureguy
should
openly
confesse
the
truth
,
yet
would
no
man
medle
with
his
house
,
neither
wold
ther
be
any
further
pursuite
:
and
therfore
he
counselled
the
saide
Iaureguy
in
that
matter
to
continue
stedfast
for
the
loue
of
his
honour
and
himselfe
:
also
the
same
day
to
go
to
espie
in
what
manner
his
excellencie
did
eate
,
whiche
he
did
thrée
or
foure
times
,
so
that
he
saide
he
was
in
good
hope
to
bring
his
purpose
to
passe
.
After
this
he
vsed
much
spéech
with
the
said
Iaureguy
,
as
with
the
man
who
should
commit
such
a
hainous
fact
.
Finally
,
hauing
better
considered
of
the
matter
,
they
began
to
doubte
whether
it
were
better
to
be
done
with
a
Dagger
or
with
a
Dagge
:
for
Iaureguy
said
,
that
he
neuer
shot
in
Dagge
,
neyther
knewe
howe
to
discharge
it
,
the
other
willed
him
to
repaire
to
some
friend
of
hys
to
trie
it
,
and
to
counterfeite
himselfe
to
be
a
Fleming
,
and
not
to
vse
anye
other
language
,
whereto
he
graunted
,
and
did
so
.
During
these
practises
there
came
letters
from
London
,
importing
,
that
Peter
of
çubiaur
had
absented
himselfe
,
vpon
which
occasion
he
thought
best
to
departe
,
so
as
hauing
dispatched
some
at
the
Burse
,
sodainely
vppon
a
Tewsday
or
Wednesday
,
hauing
taken
his
leaue
of
all
the
housholde
,
he
wente
his
way
,
seming
as
if
he
would
shortly
come
againe
,
except
to
the
sayd
Iohn
of
Iaureguy
&
me
Antony
of
Venero
,
and
from
Bruges
he
writ
me
two
Letters
,
the
one
generall
,
the
other
concerning
this
matter
:
The
generall
Letter
I
shewed
to
Martin
of
Varion
,
Peter
de
la
Penna
,
Anthony
Spinula
,
and
some
others
and
so
burned
it
.
The
other
I
deliuered
to
Iaureguy
who
read
it
,
because
therin
he
saide
that
he
thought
the
Dagge
rediest
:
the
other
saide
that
he
could
well
doe
it
so
,
the
which
he
spake
verie
chéerefully
&
then
burned
this
letter
also
,
and
tolde
me
that
he
woulde
be
shriuen
,
and
so
went
forth
of
the
doores
,
neither
did
I
euer
aske
him
to
what
Confessour
he
woulde
goe
.
Afterwarde
hée
tolde
me
that
he
was
shriuen
and
house
led
,
and
that
now
he
was
readie
vpon
anye
opportunitie
without
any
lette
to
execute
hys
purpose
.
Thus
,
vpon
this
last
Sunday
,
the
18.
of
this
moneth
,
about
eleuen
of
the
clock
he
heard
Masse
in
the
house
and
so
departed
,
and
did
that
which
séemeth
to
be
done
,
not
that
I
doe
certainely
know
it
as
yet
:
wherfore
for
the
discharge
of
my
conscience
I
doe
say
,
that
I
cannot
perceiue
any
other
to
bée
guiltie
of
this
déede
,
and
therefore
that
the
others
who
are
apprehended
,
ought
to
be
released
and
deliuered
,
because
in
my
conscience
they
be
innocent
.
Nowe
therefore
,
if
youre
Lordships
would
graunt
to
me
Anthony
of
Venero
pardon
,
&
to
saue
my
life
,
as
hauing
opened
the
verie
botome
of
my
heart
,
and
saide
all
that
I
knowe
,
besides
that
,
he
who
committed
the
mischiefe
,
is
dead
already
,
I
should
be
bound
to
you
all
my
life
long
.
Moreouer
,
the
saide
Iasper
of
Annastro
promised
vnto
vs
the
saide
Iohn
of
Iaureguy
,
and
me
Antony
of
Venero
,
that
this
being
accomplished
,
he
woulde
accompte
vs
as
his
own
naturall
children
:
also
,
that
nothing
should
be
parted
betwéene
vs
,
but
that
all
shoulde
be
our
owne
proper
goodes
,
and
suche
like
spéeches
.
The
saide
Iaureguy
answered
,
that
he
woulde
haue
nothing
,
but
that
that
which
he
did
,
he
did
for
his
loue
,
and
because
he
had
eaten
his
breade
:
and
I
quaking
,
putte
off
my
hatte
,
giuing
him
to
vnderstande
how
sore
I
feared
death
,
whervpon
he
assured
me
that
no
man
wold
once
touch
any
haire
of
my
head
.
This
confession
being
red
vnto
the
saide
deponente
without
the
prison
vppon
the
Bridge
openlye
,
hee
persisted
in
the
same
his
confession
,
confirming
it
to
bee
the
trueth
.

SIr

no
other
remedie
how
to

taking
of
him
two

wherin
he
must
confesse
that
you
doe
deliuer
the

him
by

then
binde
him

so
may

himselfe
to

Doe

immediatly
,
and
euen
so
soone
as
you

wherefore
I
praye
you
heartelye
let
this
be
done
this

Nagera
will
say
that

that

MY
Lorde
and
brother
I
writ
vnto
you
from
Bruges
and
Dunkirke
.
Two
daies
I
abode
at
Dunkirke
though
farre
against
my
minde
,
because
the
weather
was
so
rough
and
contrarie
that
I
could
not
passe
:
wherefore
the
gouernour
of
Dunkirke
counsailed
mee
to
goe
by
land
(
as
the
better
way
)
and
so
he
made
mee
a
pasport
for
Graueling
,
whether
I
came
two
houres
since
,
from
whence
I
will
to
morrow
depart
by
water
;
(
as
I
thinke
)
to
Callais
,
for
that
betweene
this
&
Callais
the
waies
be
pestered
with
French
men
that
doe
robbe
the
passengers
,
wherevnto
they
would
bee
more
readie
if
they
should
meete
with
any
Spaniards
.

tolde
me
that
Peter
of

,
was
taken
foure
daies
agoe
,
and
that
he
heard
that
hee
was
gone
to
Callais
,
it
may
bee
that
I
maye
finde
hym
there
.

the
best
you
can
concerning
the
exploit
of
merchaundise
,
it
may
be
done
at

,

well
done
,
that
the

finde
no

I
haue
no
more
to

prisoner

readie
to
receyue
his
death
whervnto
he
was
yesterdaye
before
noone
condemned
in
the
Vierschale
by
the
Borrowmaisters
and
Shirifes
of
this
towne
,
saith
and
declareth
in
forme
following
.
First
,
he
sayth
,
that
hauing
better
called
that
whiche
was
spoken
at
the
table
in
the
house
of
Iasper
of
Annastro
,
when
the
saide
deponent
dined
there
,
the
said
Annastro
propounded
and
argued
:
Whether
by
vertue
of
the
proscription
whiche
the
King
of
Spaine
hathe
published
,
anye
man
maye
lawfullye
slaie
his
excellencies
person
,
in
trueth
he
cannot
saye
whether
Andrew
Nassa
were
present
or
not
,
either
thys
spéeche
passed
aboute
the
ende
or
after
dinner
,
adding
moreouer
,
that
he
is
well
assured
and
certaine
,
that
Valentine
of
Meurs
sate
at
the
Table
that
dinner
,
but
was
then
gone
awaye
.
Moreouer
the
saide
condemned
person
acknowledgeth
his
great
ouersight
and
error
whiche
he
helde
,
in
thinking
that
by
vertue
of
the
saide
proscription
it
was
lawfull
to
slay
his
excellencies
person
:
Being
therefore
now
better
informed
by
learned
men
concerning
the
saide
opinion
,
and
hauing
further
considered
of
the
matter
,
he
doeth
by
this
presente
reuoke
the
same
.
Wherefore
he
requesteth
the
Lordes
Magistrates
of
this
Towne
to
pardon
him
hys
sayde
offence
also
to
adde
this
to
his
former
confession
,
and
if
the
other
be
published
,
to
publish
this
withal
,
to
the
end
no
man
thinke
that
he
dyed
in
so
wicked
an
opinion

RIght

woulde
to
God
you
knew
as
well
as

of

I
haue
alwaies
proceeded

procured
the

quiet
and
tranquilitie
of
these

generallie
,
wherof
I
seek
no
greter
nor
more
euident
testimonie

than
the
paines
that
I
haue
taken

to

to
hir
auncient
brightnesse
and
felicitie
,
wherewith
these
Prouinces
were
wont
to
florish

According
wherevnto
,
God
hauing
vsed
the
death
of
the
Prince
of
Orange
,
(
the
one
and
onely
instrument
and
Author
of
so
many
miseries
and
calamities
whiche
you
haue
endured
)
as
a
meane
to
open
the
way
vnto
you
,
I
hope
he
hath
likewise
taken
from
before
your
eies
the
vaile
,
which
stopped
and
kept
you
from
knowing
,
or
more
neerely
considering
the
sleightes
,
suttleties
,
and
inuentions
,
wherewith
the
saide
Prince
nourished
your
mistrusts
,
and
through
hys
owne
couetousnesse
and
ambition
continued
your
miseries
,
yea
so
farre
foorth
,
that
to
the
same
ende
he
sought
to
bring
you
into
the
subiection
&
intollerable
yoke
of
those
,
from
whom
in
former
worlds
you
haue
receiued
such
domages
and
enmities
.
Thus
much
I
thought
good
to
write
vnto
you
,
to
th
ende
to
aduertise
and
assure
you
,
that
in
case
you
wil
preuaile
in
this
occasion
and
commoditie
whiche
God
dothe
offer
vnto
you

you
shall
not

worlde
that
will
aide
and
assiste
you
wyth
more
sinceritie
,
readinesse
and
affection
,
than
I
wil

offering
vnto
you
to
the
same
effect
whatsoeuer
I
may
by
vertue
of
the
authoritie
and
special
power
vnto
me
giuen
by
his
Maiestie

of
whome
I
am
well
assured
that
you
shal
reape
no

fauor

neither
any
worse
entertainement

than
those
haue

,
who
trusting
wholly

,
haue
willingly
caste
themselues

Wherevpon
I

I
pray
God
may
bee
such

I

for
