Remonstrances
to
the
Duke
de
Mayne
,
Lieu-tenaunt
generall
of
the
Estate
and
Crowne
of
Fraunce
.
Wherein
,
by
way
of
information
,
are
discouered
diuers
priueties
,
concerning
the
proceedings
and
affayres
of
that
Duke
,
and
his
Associates
.
MY
Lorde
,
the
auncient
dutie
that
I
beare
to
your
house
,
&
the
seruice
which
(
after
none
)
I
haue
vowed
vnto
you
:
commaundeth
mee
to
make
you
these
remonstrances
;
which
(
in
most
humble
manner
)
I
beseech
you
to
reade
with
such
affection
as
I
present
them
vnto
you
withal
,
from
him
,
which
(
after
the
honor
of
GOD
)
hath
nothing
in
so
much
esteeme
as
the
repose
of
this
estate
,
and
in
like
manner
of
you
,
&
al
which
is
yours
.
We
all
aspyre
vnto
peace
,
and
yet
there
is
none
that
hopeth
it
:
great
mis-fortune
,
euery
man
diuines
his
owne
ill
,
knoweth
,
and
seeth
the
cause
of
it
:
I
must
tell
you
freely
my
opinion
of
the
matter
.
I
haue
since
these
troubles
alwaies
excused
your
demeanure
vntill
this
day
,
I
say
(
expresly
)
excused
,
although
it
may
seeme
that
this
word
may
fal
vnrespectiuely
from
my
pen
:
but
in
regard
that
the
question
was
not
of
smal
consequence
,
Whether
it
were
standing
with
law
that
a
Subiect
might
take
Armes
against
his
King
?
yet
notwithstanding
,
the
iust
passion
which
you
haue
conceiued
of
the
death
of
my
Lordes
your
two
Bretheren
,
the
people
whom
you
founde
voluntarily
disposed
,
and
aboue
all
,
seeing
he
that
pretends
for
the
Crowne
,
is
diuers
from
our
auncient
Religion
,
al
that
(
I
say
)
considered
,
gaue
you
cause
to
take
Armes
,
&
after
,
not
to
desist
from
the
bearing
of
them
.
So
much
as
concernes
the
first
poynt
,
the
true
blood
cannot
lie
,
none
can
say
how
pleasing
that
reuenge
is
,
but
he
that
hath
receiued
iniury
:
and
withall
,
what
the
fashion
of
their
two
endes
hath
procured
,
may
be
the
more
a
meane
to
good
minds
to
extinguish
the
memory
of
it
,
(
though
doubtles
they
were
of
great
importance
.
)
As
touching
the
second
cause
,
the
people
had
a
farre
off
confirmed
themselues
in
an
obstinate
enuie
to
their
King
,
which
euen
died
of
ioy
to
heare
the
newes
of
Bloys
.
And
as
concerning
the
last
,
it
is
very
hard
to
take
from
vs
the
feare
which
wee
haue
conceiued
of
the
subuersion
of
our
auncient
Religion
,
if
we
submit
our selues
vnto
a
King
diuers
from
vs
therein
.
I
desire
not
to
impeach
the
famous
memorie
of
the
last
King
,
neyther
that
of
my
Lords
your
Bretheren
,
neither
yet
the
proceeding
of
the
King
of
Nauarre
,
and
farre
lesse
your
owne
:
for
it
is
my
intent
to
proceede
with
few
words
,
not
of
sharp
intention
,
or
ceremonies
,
to
the
drift
of
my
discourse
:
for
I
call
God
to
witnes
,
I
haue
no
intention
to
write
in
a
partiall
humor
.
You
represent
(
at
this
time
)
in
the
infortunate
Theater
of
Fraunce
a
mighty
Prince
:
think
not
that
your
proceedings
,
by
howe
much
the
more
they
are
apparant
,
may
not
but
be
so
much
the
more
exposed
to
adulation
,
and
bee
subiect
to
slaunderous
inuectiues
:
and
surelie
it
is
hard
to
iudge
which
of
these
two
is
aptest
to
preiudice
your
fortune
.
Those
which
adapt
themselues
to
impeach
it
with
slaunders
,
say
:
That
neither
reuenge
nor
disorder
in
affayres
beseemes
you
to
take
Armes
,
but
that
they
were
only
pretexts
to
culler
your
desseignes
.
And
as
touching
the
new
religion
of
the
King
,
that
it
is
apparant
by
your
proceedings
,
that
you
take
holde
of
it
,
as
an
opportunity
or
masque
to
shadow
your
pretence
,
&
haue
vsed
the
same
as
a
mist
to
delude
our
eyes
withall
,
whilst
(
meane
while
)
you
couer
in
your
heart
an
vnmeasured
ambition
,
intending
the
subuersion
of
the
whole
state
.
That
vntill
nowe
they
remained
as
blinde
in
conceiued
passion
,
but
now
that
time
hath
taught
them
to
see
cleerly
,
euen
as
before
they
had
their
eares
stopped
against
whatsoeuer
proposition
might
be
obiected
to
you
:
and
that
contrariwise
,
they
haue
both
eyes
&
eares
too
great
to
afflict
your
honor
and
reputation
;
For
first
as
touching
the
reuenge
,
they
all
affirme
vna
voce
,
that
your
own
selfe
was
the
first
and
last
that
condemned
the
progresse
of
my
Lorde
the
deceassed
Duke
of
Guyse
,
your
Brother
his
policies
.
And
firstly
,
because
that
in
the
yeere
1585.
beeing
solicited
by
him
to
enter
into
that
part
of
the
holy
League
,
you
were
sixe
whole
weekes
before
you
would
condiscend
;
Lastly
,
for
that
fiue
or
sixe
daies
before
his
death
,
you
aduertised
the
King
of
an
enterprise
that
he
intended
against
his
Maiestie
.
And
withal
,
these
fellowes
can
tell
that
you
were
not
of
such
internety
with
him
,
but
that
to
infest
,
or
hasten
his
death
,
you
would
sette
fire
in
the
midst
&
euery
corner
of
the
kingdom
:
for
you
complained
your selfe
most
apparantly
at
Vimory
,
that
hee
had
layd
waite
to
butcher
you
,
though
against
his
expectation
you
had
had
good
successe
,
&
at
the
last
adiewe
of
you
two
,
you
failed
to
come
to
the
enterprise
.
If
the
same
be
true
(
or
not
)
you
best
know
:
sure
it
is
that
who
so
wold
enter
into
the
demeanure
of
your
two
Bretheren
with
the
Estates
of
Bloys
,
should
necessarily
be
inforced
to
confesse
,
that
there
was
sufficient
subiect
to
induce
the
King
to
a
dispaire
.
They
had
so
wel
grounded
their
desseignments
,
that
the
three
parts
of
the
Deputies
(
of
which
the
fourth
did
all
,
)
was
at
their
will
and
deuotion
:
the
chiefe
Presidents
of
euery
order
,
were
theyr
principall
partakers
;
There
past
not
any
Holy-daie
in
which
our
Ministers
preach't
not
amongst
the
Iacobins
,
and
with
a
holy
throate
tore
not
in
peeces
the
honour
of
the
King
&
his
Seruaunts
.
From
day
to
day
Embassages
went
betweene
Paris
and
the
two
Bretheren
:
we
continued
euery
day
in
making
prouisions
,
not
against
the
King
of
Nauarre
,
but
against
the
King
our
Soueraigne
.
The
Duke
of
Guyse
made
publique
protestations
,
that
he
would
not
bee
disseuered
from
the
confederacie
betweene
him
and
the
King
of
Spayne
,
and
al
this
,
not
withstood
the
vnion
by
him
sworne
with
the
same
King
vpon
the
holy
Sacrament
of
the
Altar
;
Nothing
was
concluded
in
the
assembly
,
which
before
was
not
at
large
debated
on
betweene
the
two
Bretheren
in
secrete
,
&
which
tended
not
to
the
shame
&
confusion
of
the
King
;
of
all
which
there
were
made
braues
&
vauntings
by
litle
litle
men
,
which
els
had
not
dared
to
haue
lift
vp
theyr
eyes
,
vnlesse
vnder
the
protection
of
these
two
Princes
.
The
King
came
to
prayers
,
as
wel
amongst
the
Deputies
,
to
be
amongst
them
more
acceptable
,
as
to
the
Duke
of
Guyse
to
mollefie
him
.
And
to
all
this
there
will
be
no
lystning
.
It
was
not
aboue
foure
or
fiue
dayes
before
theyr
two
endes
,
that
the
Duke
of
Guyse
himselfe
iniured
the
King
about
the
Towne
of
Orleance
:
It
cannot
bee
but
that
some
of
his
seruaunts
(
euen
my
Lady
your
Mother
,
full
of
all
goodnes
and
vnderstanding
)
knowing
that
al
these
goades
might
sting
the
King
to
the
hart
,
and
gyue
hym
cause
to
misdeeme
,
counsailed
him
to
retire
to
Orleance
,
where
his
life
shold
quickly
be
disposed
of
,
for
the
conseruation
of
that
of
my
Lord
the
Cardinal
your
brother
,
which
shoulde
haue
contained
himselfe
within
Bloys
:
your selfe
can
witnes
all
this
.
And
this
is
the
reason
why
these
fellowes
that
impeach
your
proceedings
so
slaunderously
,
say
,
that
measuring
the
opinion
and
respect
of
the
King
by
your
owne
,
you
would
neuer
haue
conceiued
hard
opinion
of
their
ends
,
for
your selfe
fell
into
the
like
desaster
with
Sacremore
,
for
some
(
I
know
not
what
)
desire
he
had
to
attempt
against
the
family
of
your
wiues
house
,
and
after
those
troubles
in
the
person
of
the
Marquis
of
Menelay
,
(
murdered
onely
vpon
a
bare
suspition
that
he
would
broach
newe
deuises
against
your selfe
:
)
And
more-ouer
,
that
you
fel
into
dislike
with
ill
gouernments
of
the
deceased
K.
to
the
end
therby
to
make
your selfe
Protector
of
the
people
;
the
same
contemplatiue
Doctors
play
vpon
you
thus
in
that
respect
,
inferring
that
you
haue
borne
a
great
sway
in
these
matters
,
&
withall
,
for
further
confirmation
,
produce
diuers
Edicts
,
pretending
their
vtter
subuersion
,
which
by
often
importuneties
you
haue
obtained
of
the
King
;
As
for
example
,
that
of
the
particuler
Lieuetenant
of
the
chosen
,
through
all
Citties
,
Townes
,
Borroughes
,
and
townshippes
of
Fraunce
,
the
most
wicked
&
infortunate
that
hath
happened
in
our
age
:
and
to
confirme
this
desire
,
no
better
witnesse
then
your selfe
,
of
Mounsier
Ribault
,
Treasurer
generall
of
your
reuenewes
,
which
then
sollicited
the
pursuit
of
the
verification
,
as
well
in
the
Court
of
wardes
as
elswhere
.
They
persist
and
affirme
,
that
what
countenaunce
so
euer
either
you
or
the
Duke
of
Cuyse
,
had
sette
vpon
the
beginning
of
these
troubles
,
you
intended
to
be
irreconcileable
enemies
to
the
Heretiques
:
and
to
make
that
more
apparant
,
you
had
diuerse
Preachers
in
pay
vnder
you
,
which
shold
serue
you
for
trumpets
:
yet
neuerthelesse
I
know
there
is
no
such
meaning
betweene
GOD
and
your
soule
;
For
that
after
the
death
of
the
Admirall
Chastillon
,
in
the
yeere
1572.
the
house
of
Guyse
was
a
secure
Sanctuary
to
the
most
parte
of
the
Nobility
that
professed
the
religion
:
and
your selfe
(
my
Lord
)
had
neuer
better
meanes
to
reduce
the
Dalphinate
vnder
the
obedience
of
the
last
King
,
then
by
a
truce
wrought
by
your selfe
,
twixt
the
Lord
D'
Ediguire
and
his
partakers
,
which
you
knewe
so
well
to
entertaine
,
that
from
that
time
you
were
surnamed
The
Prince
of
the
fayth
,
by
reason
you
had
so
faithfully
kept
your
faith
and
promise
.
Loe
,
such
be
the
discourses
and
reports
which
these
slaunderous
enemies
of
yours
make
to
your
disaduantage
,
which
I
woulde
desire
might
bee
buried
with
the
death
of
the
deceassed
King
.
How
then
more-ouer
will
you
fore-stall
this
,
if
fortunately
it
shoulde
be
obiected
,
that
you
onely
intende
to
haue
peace
,
which
most
freely
is
profered
by
our
enemies
:
Why
?
all
the
quarrel
that
we
haue
with
the
King
of
Nauarre
,
is
but
for
matter
of
Religion
;
But
take
away
that
obstacle
,
you
cannot
deny
but
that
the
Crowne
is
peculier
to
him
,
notwithstanding
al
the
declarations
that
the
Duke
of
Feria
would
not
long
since
haue
preuented
it
with
;
For
if
after
the
death
of
the
deceassed
King
,
we
should
adiudge
the
Crowne
to
my
Lord
the
Cardinall
of
Bourbon
,
as
next
in
degree
,
(
notwithstanding
the
much
distance
of
consanguinitie
which
there
is
between
them
)
I
see
no
cause
of
sufficient
argument
why
we
should
reiect
this
auncient
and
first
of
the
bloode
,
but
onely
for
this
,
that
we
hold
him
diuers
from
vs
in
regard
of
religion
:
which
might
worthely
be
proued
no
obstacle
at
all
,
if
we
respect
his
promise
which
hee
hath
made
conditionally
,
that
he
would
be
content
to
yeeld
himselfe
,
vppon
the
conuent
of
Estates
and
Prelats
of
his
kingdom
.
Now
,
in
respect
of
the
peace
treated
on
the
last
yeere
,
between
the
Lordes
of
Villeroy
and
Plessis
Mornay
,
the
first
proposition
that
the
first
of
these
two
made
,
(
and
I
thinke
that
hee
did
it
vppon
the
instructions
from
your
own
mouth
)
was
,
that
we
would
acknowledge
the
King
of
Nauarre
for
our
right
and
lawfull
King
,
and
that
wee
had
no
desire
to
force
his
conscience
,
but
recommending
the
whole
to
God
,
whom
it
might
please
to
shyne
forth
the
beames
of
all
happines
on
him
:
insomuch
,
that
all
their
conference
was
vpon
the
assuraunce
required
of
you
.
Which
notwithstanding
it
was
aunswered
euen
to
your
minde
,
yet
vppon
the
last
gaspe
you
reuoked
your
Deputy
,
shewing
in
kinde
(
at
that
time
)
that
you
neuer
had
such
feare
as
that
which
then
returned
vnto
you
,
of
parting
with
any
thing
that
might
detract
from
the
maintayning
of
you
in
your
wonted
greatnesse
.
In
which
,
(
if
poore
I
may
belieued
)
you
did
most
wisely
:
For
,
for
to
mooue
dispute
with
the
King
of
Nauarre
,
(
touching
matter
of
Religion
)
it
was
asmuch
to
say
silently
,
an
accord
,
that
you
had
beene
instructed
,
not
to
lay
by
Armes
after
the
death
of
the
deceassed
King
,
for
other
subiect
then
a
singuler
zeale
:
and
in
so
dooing
,
you
layd
an
especiall
ground
of
your
reputation
in
euery
place
,
but
aboue
all
in
Rome
;
And
there
is
the
principall
drift
of
all
your
affayres
.
Since
which
time
of
treaty
,
you
haue
assembled
the
Estates
of
Prouinces
and
Citties
,
with
intent
to
chuse
vnto
vs
a
King
:
but
before
ouerture
to
this
matter
,
you
made
a
protestation
full
of
all
piety
,
importing
most
expresse
significations
,
that
you
neuer
had
vndertaken
thys
quarrel
,
but
only
in
this
regard
,
that
the
King
of
Nauarre
was
an
Hereticke
:
and
that
when
he
should
be
reconciled
to
the
Church
,
you
would
be
most
content
to
holde
him
for
your
King
.
Protestations
which
awake
both
the
one
&
the
other
,
vppon
which
since
that
time
we
are
entred
into
conference
,
with
an
vnspeakeable
ioy
euen
of
those
which
before
helde
nothing
in
like
feare
with
peace
:
and
in
thys
conference
we
haue
vtterly
derogated
from
that
of
the
last
yeere
;
For
first
wee
sticke
at
this
,
that
it
is
questionable
whether
the
King
of
Nauarre
woulde
make
himselfe
Catholicke
,
or
no
,
declaring
,
that
where
he
woulde
not
be
such
,
that
there
this
conference
was
to
no
effect
:
But
in
case
that
he
were
found
conformable
,
we
should
afterward
bethinke
vs
of
assurance
.
I
haue
neuer
hearde
a
matter
proceeded
on
with
lesse
simplicitie
,
vnlesse
by
our
enemies
:
for
euen
from
the
first
motion
they
embraced
thys
proposition
,
and
commended
two
Lordes
of
theyr
part
to
communicate
it
to
the
King
:
which
not
by
anie
intreatie
of
his
owne
people
,
but
of
his
proper
motion
,
pronounced
his
wil
not
to
be
of
himselfe
,
but
to
insist
in
that
of
his
own
Bishops
&
Prelats
.
This
worde
was
no
sooner
spoke
,
but
through
all
the
Townes
vnder
him
,
general
Processions
were
made
,
to
giue
God
thanks
that
he
had
inspired
so
holy
a
desire
into
their
Prince
:
We
alone
haue
sung
the
Requiem
,
as
feareful
that
through
this
desperate
passage
,
issue
might
be
found
for
the
soueraneties
which
we
now
hold
hauing
none
aboue
vs
.
Wherin
(
my
good
Lord
)
you
shall
be
pleased
to
giue
mee
thus
much
leaue
,
as
to
say
I
am
nothing
edified
in
one
respect
:
for
before
,
I
coniectured
that
all
these
mischiefes
were
neither
familier
with
GOD
nor
the
diuell
,
or
that
it
was
not
respected
whether
they
were
mad
men
or
Machiauils
.
And
through
this
publique
ioy
in
the
Church
of
God
,
they
are
all
as
we
are
,
true
Romane
Catholicks
,
but
of
a
more
warie
conscience
then
we
.
They
esteeme
that
of
what
religion
soeuer
it
pleaseth
God
to
giue
vs
a
King
,
we
are
all
bound
to
obey
him
:
and
that
wee
are
so
commaunded
by
S.
Peter
in
two
places
,
and
by
S.
Paule
wryting
both
to
the
Romans
and
to
Titus
:
In
briefe
,
that
our
Sauiour
Iesus
Christ
,
vppon
the
moulde
on
which
wee
ought
to
frame
all
our
actions
,
sayd
:
That
we
ought
to
giue
that
to
God
,
which
belongeth
to
God
,
and
to
Caesar
,
that
which
belonged
to
Caesar
:
and
hold
,
that
if
they
do
amisse
after
Iesus
Christ
,
that
then
that
faulte
is
pardonable
.
But
to
the
ende
that
I
may
not
too
long
dwell
vppon
thys
poynt
,
or
to
sounde
deeper
in
theyr
consciences
:
presentlie
after
the
King
had
made
thys
protestation
to
become
Catholique
,
with
solemnities
aunswerable
,
the
wise
Gentlemen
our
Deputies
demaunde
day
of
aunswere
with
deliberation
:
and
after
respette
,
at
length
made
aunswere
:
That
they
sawe
nothing
in
him
that
might
minister
this
hope
vnto
them
:
That
hee
was
onely
in
wordes
,
and
his
Ministers
performed
nothing
.
Ho
,
ho
,
quoth
I
,
is
the
game
to
that
?
And
I
pray
you
what
hinders
,
that
so
much
may
not
be
said
of
my
Lord
the
Duke
de
Mayne
:
That
they
saw
nothing
in
him
why
they
might
iudge
he
would
alter
his
opinion
,
any
of
hys
protestations
not
withstood
:
That
he
is
the
man
that
he
hath
beene
from
the
beginning
of
foure
yeeres
:
That
he
fauours
and
authoriseth
the
Preachers
of
the
Religion
,
which
(
among
all
other
,
)
are
the
principall
Orators
and
ministers
of
these
troubles
;
And
that
it
is
not
to
be
thought
strange
that
theyr
King
desireth
not
to
perseuer
in
error
,
but
will
not
forget
to
prayse
God
,
so
that
hee
receiues
the
instructions
of
our
Church
:
otherwise
,
it
shold
be
a
meane
to
open
a
way
to
Atheisme
&
impiety
.
After
hauing
persused
these
Articles
,
I
returne
vnto
that
by
which
our
Deputies
inferre
,
that
the
King
of
Nauarre
may
receiue
instructions
from
the
Prelates
&
Docters
of
Fraunce
,
but
that
hauing
receiued
it
,
it
appertained
to
the
holy
Father
of
Rome
to
haue
the
especiall
gouernment
in
that
businesse
:
sith
it
was
onely
hee
that
had
authority
to
approue
the
conuersion
,
&
to
giue
hym
absolution
,
without
which
,
he
could
not
be
held
for
one
conuerted
or
reconciled
to
the
Church
.
And
did
I
exclayme
then
?
Loe
here
the
consummation
of
our
work
:
The
phisick
of
the
Duke
of
Feria
hath
not
had
his
operation
in
Paris
,
it
shold
be
carried
to
Rome
there
to
haue
his
working
;
Say
that
you
will
not
goe
,
why
this
were
to
found
a
new
heresie
amongst
the
people
.
But
put
case
that
fortunatly
you
may
goe
,
who
knowes
not
the
Spanish
concetis
,
to
whose
iudgement
you
must
commende
the
conuersion
of
a
Prince
of
the
bloode
?
Hath
not
the
Duke
of
Feria
sufficiently
instructed
you
in
the
grounde
of
his
intended
pollicies
?
which
is
to
no
other
ende
then
to
auere
the
Crowne
of
Fraunce
to
his
owne
state
.
My
good
Lorde
,
the
Legate
which
at
this
instance
is
in
Paris
,
shewes
he
not
by
his
demeanure
,
what
commaundements
he
hath
from
the
holy
Father
?
No
,
I
must
haue
patience
:
it
is
to
you
my
Lord
that
I
must
speake
,
for
I
can
gather
no
other
but
that
this
counsell
proceedes
with
your
owne
aduise
:
as
from
him
that
in
respect
of
the
degree
you
are
in
,
haue
more
reason
to
hinder
the
course
of
these
affayres
:
or
at
the
least
wise
,
that
it
may
not
seeme
so
intricate
,
as
thereby
it
may
appeare
illusiue
vnto
you
whilst
you
gather
vp
the
fruite
of
your
greatnes
.
Say
,
I
beseech
your
excellence
,
when
you
tooke
Armes
against
the
deceassed
King
,
which
wee
acknowledged
for
the
most
Christian
King
in
al
Europe
,
sude
you
to
the
Court
of
Rome
for
lycence
?
Haue
you
since
craued
absolution
of
the
holy
See
;
For
indeed
we
are
not
to
doubt
,
but
that
such
bearing
of
Armes
was
a
very
heresie
,
beeing
borne
against
a
King
so
far
from
being
an
Hereticke
:
Well
then
you
haue
not
doone
so
,
&
yet
will
you
willingly
sende
your
King
?
(
so
I
am
forced
to
name
him
,
if
I
see
him
abiure
that
error
which
he
hath
been
nourisht
in
from
his
infancie
.
)
Certes
you
addresse
your selfe
to
thinke
vpon
your
ill-willers
,
which
respect
not
the
See
of
Rome
,
but
so
much
as
you
profit
by
it
.
Let
vs
shunne
all
shadowe
and
dissimulation
of
thys
quarrell
:
let
vs
leaue
apart
all
ambitions
,
and
let
vs
acknowledge
that
which
is
of
the
auncient
fayth
of
our
Church
,
which
Saint
Ierome
sayde
had
neuer
nourisht
Monsters
,
meaning
(
vnder
that
word
)
Hereticks
.
The
generall
proposition
of
our
Church
,
since
and
from
the
passion
of
Christ
,
was
to
reduce
al
her
thoughts
to
the
vnion
of
the
Romane
Church
:
to
holde
it
for
chiefe
:
to
simbolize
with
it
in
the
Articles
of
our
fayth
:
And
if
our
Prelates
entred
into
any
doubts
touching
it
,
to
haue
recourse
to
it
,
as
the
true
source
from
which
they
ought
to
drawe
all
water
of
life
.
And
further
,
all
hauing
Diocesse
,
had
all
power
and
authority
to
performe
theyr
owne
will
within
their
owne
Diocesses
,
but
onelie
in
matters
of
especiall
importance
;
in
which
they
had
recourse
one
while
to
the
Councels
prouinciall
,
another
while
to
another
place
,
without
any
interposition
of
Romish
Authority
.
And
in
this
order
lyued
they
from
the
death
of
our
Sauiour
,
euen
vntill
the
first
lyne
of
our
Kings
,
and
from
that
to
the
seconde
;
And
howbeit
that
it
was
not
so
when
the
great
Pagan
King
Clouis
reuolted
from
his
paganisme
,
yet
,
did
he
sue
for
pardon
at
Rome
?
surely
no
:
but
hee
receiued
the
holy
Sacrament
of
Baptisme
at
the
hands
of
S.
Remy
,
Archbishop
of
Reims
,
who
was
so
francke
a
Catholicke
,
as
hee
woulde
neuer
haue
done
it
to
the
preiudice
of
the
holy
See
,
if
he
had
thought
that
in
such
matters
recourse
thether
had
been
needfull
.
I
acknowledge
that
vnder
the
seconde
lyne
,
the
See
began
to
authorize
it selfe
more
in
Fraunce
then
before
it
had
done
:
and
why
then
?
but
because
that
King
Pepin
,
to
the
intent
he
might
in
better
sort
vsurpe
the
kingdom
,
had
beene
at
Rome
to
seeke
instructions
for
his
tyrannous
raigne
:
and
coulde
not
sette
any
glosse
on
his
aspyring
,
vnlesse
it
were
by
making
the
See
a
wonderment
aboue
all
things
:
which
is
the
same
artefice
which
nowe
we
infer
as
especiall
engine
of
your
greatnes
.
Neuertheles
,
what
preheminence
soeuer
his
holines
then
tooke
to
himselfe
,
yet
shal
you
neuer
find
,
that
he
made
so
bold
as
to
condemne
any
K.
in
Fraunce
for
what
offence
soeuer
they
had
committed
,
but
did
it
in
an
open
assembled
counsel
of
our
Prelats
,
which
thing
was
continued
vnder
the
3.
line
,
witnesse
the
great
counsell
of
Cleremont
in
Auuergne
.
In
briefe
,
I
see
not
any
one
Pope
which
hath
so
much
forgot
himselfe
,
but
only
(
good-face
,
or
)
Boneface
the
8.
against
Phillip
the
faire
:
but
God
would
that
with
open
signes
he
shold
confesse
the
repentance
of
such
sin
â–ª
to
serue
as
an
example
vnto
his
successors
,
how
to
enterprise
any
thing
against
any
king
.
When
the
Emperor
Theodosius
had
caused
the
generall
massacre
of
the
Thessalonians
to
be
made
,
what
stopt
the
doore
of
the
Church
against
him
?
S.
Ambrose
Archbishoppe
of
Mylan
,
who
opened
it
vnto
him
after
penitence
.
Went
the
Emperor
to
Rome
?
No
,
it
was
the
selfe
same
Ambrose
.
And
are
wee
better
Christians
then
S.
Ambrose
or
S.
Remy
?
Shal
we
condemne
the
actions
of
al
our
auncient
Prelats
of
Fraunce
?
It
shall
folow
that
they
were
hereticks
,
if
the
Maxime
which
we
propounde
to
the
king
of
Nauarre
be
true
:
&
yet
there
is
no
doubt
made
but
that
they
were
all
most
holy
and
sanctified
men
.
But
what
religion
is
this
of
ours
?
Wee
haue
taken
Armes
against
our
most
dread
Soueraigne
and
indoubtable
king
,
without
any
licence
from
the
See
:
we
haue
made
a
Saint
or
canonized
brother
,
Fryer
Iacques
Clement
his
murtherer
,
without
going
to
Rome
:
treading
vnder
feete
the
example
of
Dauid
toward
Saul
.
We
are
commanded
to
obey
our
kings
notwithstanding
they
be
euen
Pagans
.
Now
after
all
this
,
our
King
will
be
Catholick
,
&
do
penance
worthy
his
fault
,
euen
in
the
midst
of
the
French-church
,
&
yet
we
wil
indent
with
him
,
&
turn
him
ouer
to
Rome
.
Good
God
,
what
neede
haue
we
of
further
ceremony
then
that
which
wee
woulde
vse
,
if
willingly
we
would
submit
our selues
to
his
obedience
?
T
is
true
,
but
you
wil
tel
me
that
you
suspect
deceits
.
Call
you
them
deceits
?
when
in
the
face
of
the
church
,
&
before
all
our
Bishops
and
Prelats
,
he
wil
make
confession
of
his
fayth
,
in
the
presence
of
the
Princes
and
the
Officers
of
the
Crowne
,
which
shall
be
there
called
to
witnesse
?
If
he
hyde
any
deceipt
in
his
heade
,
he
will
be
the
first
that
shall
be
deceiued
:
for
GOD
often-times
deceiues
the
deceiuer
.
It
cannot
be
thought
,
but
that
all
good
Catholiques
,
which
haue
made
generall
professions
onelie
on
his
bare
declaration
,
will
be
prompt
enough
to
forsake
him
,
if
he
againe
forsakes
God
;
It
woulde
be
the
greatest
and
easiest
victory
which
you
could
obtaine
of
him
,
if
he
be
so
obstinate
as
not
to
yeeld
,
after
a
faith
plighted
of
all
his
owne
Friendes
.
And
as
touching
you
my
Lord
,
whom
I
honour
and
reuerence
aboue
all
other
,
(
thinking
that
there
could
be
nothing
but
a
holy
zeale
that
did
accompany
your
holie
actions
,
)
thinke
not
but
God
will
confounde
all
those
counsels
and
deceits
,
(
what
masque
soeuer
of
authority
you
passe
them
vnder
,
)
if
it
fortune
so
that
the
King
of
Nauarre
should
but
onely
satis-fie
hys
fayth
.
You
shal
be
neither
the
first
nor
the
last
of
yours
,
which
shal
be
fallen
into
this
desaster
.
I
will
acknowledge
freely
,
that
to
increase
your
greatnes
in
ful
perfection
,
you
haue
not
forgotten
any
one
poynt
;
First
,
seeing
the
fury
of
the
people
to
haue
all
authority
,
you
made
your selfe
altogether
popular
:
leauing
the
Controwlershippe
generall
of
the
Towne
of
Paris
,
to
sixteene
persons
of
most
lowe
condition
,
which
the
lycence
of
time
gaue
reason
to
suspect
:
and
to
one
counsell
of
forty
,
you
commended
almost
all
the
affayres
of
estate
,
in
retayning
them
from
you
,
and
then
dyd
you
scarce
knowe
the
way
of
Paris
:
Not
long
after
,
you
broke
of
this
counsell
of
fortie
,
approching
it
neere
to
your
person
:
The
necessity
after
the
siedge
was
raised
,
taught
vs
for
our
owne
security
not
to
refuse
a
garison
of
Spaniards
;
From
that
time
forward
you
fought
betweene
two
extremities
,
between
the
King
of
Spayne
and
the
Comminaltie
.
For
notwithstanding
you
make
fayre
wether
with
the
King
of
Spayne
,
yet
you
would
be
right
sorry
that
he
shoulde
haue
attained
the
drift
of
all
his
inuentions
;
And
in
like
case
,
although
he
aydes
you
for
the
defray
of
thys
warre
,
yet
he
would
be
sorrie
too
,
that
you
shoulde
haue
your
wish
.
The
Duke
of
Parma
,
the
interpositus
in
these
affayres
,
hath
shewed
it
wel
as
often
as
euer
he
came
to
our
succours
:
well
,
he
is
dead
,
and
that
makes
you
more
assured
of
your
hope
.
The
Sixteene
by
a
desperate
fury
,
haue
lost
the
deceased
Mounsier
,
the
President
Brisson
,
and
Arcter
counseller
in
the
Parliament
.
This
iniustice
inuites
a
publique
choller
of
all
in
generall
,
and
moueth
you
by
these
means
to
make
the
boldest
trait
of
estate
that
euer
was
since
these
troubles
,
because
you
caused
foure
of
these
16.
to
be
hanged
:
and
that
at
one
instant
you
brought
to
beggery
that
little
Tyrant
of
Paris
,
Bussy
le
Cleere
,
chasing
him
from
the
Bastillion
,
the
sanctuary
of
all
his
robberies
and
thefts
.
And
since
,
you
haue
much
more
familiarisde
your selfe
with
our
Towne
of
Paris
then
erst
:
such
be
the
meanes
,
by
the
which
you
haue
made
your selfe
Maister
of
the
people
,
beeing
assisted
of
the
Spanish
garrison
;
and
hauing
swallowed
downe
the
whole
authoritie
of
those
16.
now
you
haue
to
combat
with
the
king
of
Spayne
,
which
feedes
on
the
wind
of
the
Crowne
of
Fraunce
.
But
to
keepe
him
in
breath
betwixt
hope
and
feare
,
you
enter
into
dyuerse
motions
of
peace
,
which
euen
withall
you
breake
as
soone
as
you
make
them
,
and
that
after
fayre
proffers
;
These
you
break
(
I
say
)
to
shew
that
you
haue
both
peace
and
warre
in
your
hands
,
and
that
you
haue
meanes
to
bring
all
these
Spanish
vanities
to
nought
,
if
he
still
aydes
you
not
with
men
and
money
;
by
this
meanes
stretching
the
very
quintescence
of
euen
halfe
halfe
a
farthing
,
to
make
thereof
the
principall
stay
of
your
greatnes
:
And
since
wee
are
nowe
in
some
path
toward
peace
,
let
Mounsier
the
Spanish
Legate
be
ridde
till
his
backe
be
gauld
.
O
but
you
haue
erected
Marshals
of
the
vnion
,
to
the
intent
that
if
a
peace
should
fortune
,
these
woulde
be
a
singuler
peece
of
good
to
you
:
and
that
beeing
nowe
in
war
,
the
peace
may
confirme
them
.
Is
it
possible
to
haue
acted
with
more
wittie
endeuours
then
you
haue
doone
euen
to
the
end
?
and
yet
I
despayre
to
:
for
I
iudge
it
fatall
to
your
house
to
worke
ruine
to
that
of
Burbon
,
&
to
be
as
circumspect
as
may
be
:
yet
neuerthelesse
at
length
all
vanisheth
to
idle
smokes
,
and
that
euen
then
when
you
thinke
your selfe
neerest
the
perfection
of
your
will
.
Euen
so
did
it
befall
my
Lord
your
Father
in
Orleance
,
the
yeere
1560.
when
vnder
the
authority
of
Frauncis
the
second
,
(
whom
he
was
possessed
of
)
intending
to
spoyle
both
of
lands
,
goods
and
life
,
the
deceassed
King
of
Nauarre
and
the
Prince
of
Conde
,
God
tooke
away
the
king
euen
when
he
thought
that
he
could
not
chuse
but
haue
his
full
will
euery
way
.
Euen
so
of
latest
memory
fortuned
it
to
your
Brothers
,
which
neuer
endeuoured
anie
thing
so
much
,
as
to
declare
the
vnhability
of
the
King
of
Nauarre
,
and
how
incapable
he
was
of
the
Crown
.
Such
fatall
discent
is
there
betweene
your
two
houses
:
bee
it
that
the
quarrell
of
the
house
of
Bourbon
is
more
iust
,
(
in
regarde
of
hys
blood
royall
)
or
that
the
desaster
of
your
house
is
such
.
I
am
not
that
Nostradamus
,
that
by
an
interlaced
coppie
of
words
obscure
,
in
1553.
wold
by
his
fore-smellings
diuine
the
mishaps
in
which
we
are
now
plunged
.
Sure
it
is
,
that
seeing
the
late
Kings
dissolute
liuing
,
had
ingendered
in
the
harts
of
his
subiects
a
generall
discontentment
,
I
held
it
for
sure
,
that
he
should
liue
to
see
the
vtter
ruine
of
his
estate
&
himselfe
:
for
in
his
actions
there
was
such
a
flowing
of
particularities
,
as
the
very
least
was
sufficient
to
ouerthrowe
a
Prince
.
But
when
on
the
otherside
,
I
considered
the
demeanures
of
the
Duke
of
Guyse
,
his
arriuall
vnexpected
in
Paris
:
the
shameful
(
and
yet
happy
)
retreate
of
the
King
,
the
election
of
Prouosts
,
made
of
Merchants
and
chiefe
men
of
that
Towne
in
all
poast
:
the
Brauadoes
that
they
gaue
the
King
,
demaunding
theyr
confirmation
,
assignments
,
and
pryces
of
Townes
to
his
teeth
,
whilst
a
treaty
of
peace
was
concluding
:
the
stay
of
the
verification
of
the
Proclamation
of
vnitie
,
to
disapoynt
entertaining
the
auncient
Captaines
of
the
Towne
and
their
Lieu-tenaunts
,
and
to
suborne
other
to
his
deuotion
,
and
al
that
which
since
that
time
he
enterprised
in
Bloys
,
(
by
me
heere-to-fore
particularised
)
I
promised
vnto
my selfe
no
lesse
matter
and
man
of
him
then
the
king
;
the
one
by
growing
too
loose
in
his
actions
toward
his
Subiects
,
the
other
too
ambitiously
familiar
towards
hys
King
:
insomuch
that
the
ouer-crowing
of
the
people
towardes
their
King
the
day
of
the
Barracades
,
was
euen
the
same
of
the
King
ouer
the
Duke
of
Guyse
the
third
of
December
following
.
You
perhaps
will
tell
mee
,
that
I
doe
nothing
but
recapitulate
things
as
they
haue
fortuned
:
I
pray
God
they
may
most
happily
liue
,
and
ioy
eternall
felicity
,
to
whom
I
haue
afore-hande
(
diuiningly
)
imparted
them
.
There
be
some
matters
of
estates
as
infallible
,
as
the
rules
running
according
to
the
Mathematiques
.
It
is
the
very
same
that
made
me
feare
some
(
I
know
not
what
)
mis-fortune
of
you
:
I
doubt
not
but
the
Baise
les
mains
euidences
,
which
you
receiue
now
,
of
a
troupe
of
such
as
are
slaues
to
your
fortune
,
hath
caused
you
to
fore-see
asmuch
to
theyr
promotions
:
which
fortune
proueth
as
improuedently
to
them
,
as
improuedently
dooth
that
of
you
to
your selfe
.
They
furnish
you
with
sophisticall
memoratiues
,
to
make
this
effect
of
conference
and
agreement
vtterlie
voyde
,
doubting
that
if
such
a
peace
shoulde
fortune
,
theyr
fine
knacks
woulde
haue
no
longer
induraunce
:
none
of
them
are
capable
of
the
auncient
modestie
of
a
Romane
Cincinatus
.
My
Lorde
,
I
most
humbly
beseech
you
,
hold
not
your selfe
scandelisde
,
if
I
terme
those
sophistical
memoratiues
,
the
returne
which
you
commend
to
the
King
of
Nauarre
vnto
the
See
of
Rome
,
whom
we
ought
to
esteeme
for
our
most
dread
Soueraigne
,
whensoeuer
he
shall
be
made
a
true
Catholick
:
for
before
that
time
I
shall
neuer
agree
vpon
that
poynt
or
Article
.
For
our
auncient
decrees
&
Canons
of
Fraunce
,
cannot
,
neither
doe
accord
vpon
this
sending
of
the
king
to
Rome
.
Yet
neuerthelesse
,
if
this
See
of
the
Pope
were
implacable
,
if
in
our
Popes
there
were
not
found
a
thousand
angry
&
intractable
passions
,
towards
those
Princes
which
prosterne
themselues
euen
at
his
feete
:
in
briefe
,
if
they
were
not
disturbers
of
all
estates
politique
when
soeuer
we
suffer
them
to
raigne
ouer
vs
.
Well
,
say
wee
that
wee
may
lawfully
sende
hym
to
Rome
,
yet
euen
in
this
we
trouble
the
estate
of
Fraunce
,
and
that
of
the
holy
Church
thereof
,
which
is
the
especiall
sinew
and
dependant
of
the
Romish
Church
;
but
are
not
all
histories
full
of
the
miserable
spectacles
?
It
is
no
heresie
to
reade
them
,
since
we
read
them
in
one
Platin
,
which
by
reason
they
haue
altogether
beene
nourished
in
the
Court
of
Rome
,
doe
what
they
may
for
the
aduauncement
thereof
.
More-ouer
,
I
say
that
if
the
case
were
put
that
such
a
thing
might
be
tollerated
,
(
let
vs
speake
with
a
true
hart
)
the
Pope
which
now
is
,
hath
he
not
beene
and
is
he
not
a
creature
of
the
King
of
Spayne
,
before
but
Cardinall
Cremone
:
a
Towne
at
his
deuotion
,
and
brother
to
one
of
the
greatest
fauorites
?
It
is
well
known
what
bribes
King
Phillip
gaue
to
haue
him
preferd
,
how
much
of
his
purse
was
bestowed
in
effecting
that
complot
,
what
supporters
he
hath
in
Rome
whilst
obstacles
are
layd
,
before
any
that
is
friend
to
the
French-king
.
It
is
well
knowne
how
that
most
wise
and
right
Catholique
Marquis
of
Pisam
hath
beene
intreated
.
All
knowe
,
that
the
Pope
is
content
to
sende
vs
into
a
Fraunce
a
Legate
altogether
Spanish
,
and
yet
to
second
him
he
would
haue
sent
another
,
Cardinall
de
Pelce
,
a
Norman
espaniolised
,
a
man
which
neuer
did
good
but
when
he
intended
worst
,
&
esteemed
for
such
almost
in
euery
Consistory
wheresoeuer
Pope
Sixtus
the
fift
had
to
doe
.
I
hold
that
by
hazard
and
not
by
any
good
policie
he
sent
these
vnto
vs
.
Thinke
you
that
he
dare
incounter
with
the
King
of
Spayne
his
neighbour
,
beeing
so
ambicious
as
hee
is
,
in
regard
of
Naples
and
Sicelie
which
holdes
so
many
intelligences
with
Rome
?
Hath
not
my
Lord
the
Legate
,
(
with
reuerence
be
it
spoken
)
spend
out
all
the
venim
which
he
had
hid
in
his
breast
,
when
hee
sawe
that
the
King
of
Nauarre
was
fully
bent
to
become
a
Catholique
,
and
that
the
matter
of
peace
was
not
spoken
of
wyth
small
likelihoode
?
And
at
his
departing
,
is
there
any
man
(
any
honest
man
I
meane
)
that
beares
but
the
least
zeale
to
the
peace
,
that
would
find
the
sending
of
the
King
of
Nauarre
to
the
See
of
Rome
eyther
honest
or
profitable
,
of
which
if
so
we
would
gratefie
the
King
of
Spayne
,
we
should
find
eternall
matter
of
perpetuall
troubles
.
My
Lord
,
I
desire
to
be
held
,
and
would
that
al
shold
know
,
I
humble
my selfe
as
most
obedient
,
and
desire
to
be
held
most
aunswerable
in
all
seruice
to
you
:
&
to
that
intent
I
haue
vndertooke
thus
much
.
Sure
I
am
that
diuers
about
you
ambitious
of
promotions
,
and
that
feede
themselues
fatte
with
your
ruine
,
will
say
that
I
am
a
turne-coate
,
which
would
make
semblance
to
be
of
your
side
,
notwithstanding
that
otherwise
I
nourish
no
such
intentment
in
my
mind
.
Be
not
wondered
at
my
name
,
let
it
suffice
that
I
am
onely
a
poore
Cittizen
of
Fraunce
,
without
charge
or
publique
office
:
farre
from
ambition
,
that
know
not
what
the
meaning
is
of
riches
or
auarice
,
but
onely
so
farre
as
the
necessities
of
my
house
do
commaund
:
but
happily
auare
and
couetous
of
the
quiet
of
the
Weale-publique
;
Otherwise
,
such
a
man
as
thinks
he
can
haue
no
other
treasure
than
an
honest
liberty
,
with
which
I
accompany
my
actions
:
a
liberty
which
causeth
me
to
tell
you
the
trueth
plainly
.
The
Chirurgion
which
flatters
the
wound
,
spoiles
it
,
and
you
should
haue
no
greater
enemy
then
your selfe
,
in
flattering
your selfe
more
then
needed
.
But
to
what
purpose
is
this
preamble
?
To
tell
you
that
by
this
expedient
of
Rome
which
nowe
is
proposed
,
you
diuert
the
course
of
the
peace
;
I
denounce
and
prognosticate
vnto
you
,
not
a
taxe
,
(
for
the
King
of
Nauarre
was
neuer
familier
with
such
a
beast
)
but
a
ruinous
end
,
and
that
as
certain
as
the
end
of
the
late
King
,
or
as
that
of
my
Lords
your
Brothers
.
Indeed
this
is
somewhat
boldly
sayde
,
and
yet
such
as
beseemes
a
loyall
and
faithful
seruaunt
towards
his
good
Lord
:
I
doubt
not
but
since
you
swallowed
or
receiued
downe
the
whole
authority
of
Sixteene
,
and
since
lost
the
obiect
of
the
Prince
of
Parma
,
that
you
may
haue
gained
45.
to
the
aduantage
.
I
on
the
otherside
feare
very
much
,
that
,
that
on
which
you
shall
establish
your
fortune
,
will
be
the
cause
of
your
mis-fortune
;
For
the
iust
punishment
which
you
layd
on
the
16.
was
a
blood-letting
very
necessary
for
the
health
of
the
people
,
and
to
purge
that
euill
spyrite
of
which
they
were
possessed
:
And
the
life
of
the
Duke
of
Parma
,
nourisht
an
ambitious
feauer
of
our
estate
in
the
body
of
his
Maister
,
knowing
that
so
long
as
he
was
liuing
,
he
woulde
hinder
your
incroach
vpon
his
intentions
:
and
now
that
he
is
deade
,
it
is
vnpossible
to
meete
with
any
man
of
his
own
forces
which
were
a
man
of
like
vallor
.
He
which
would
not
make
himselfe
a
stocke
of
mockery
to
all
strange
Nations
,
it
is
very
easie
to
be
thought
,
that
he
will
haue
finer
conceits
,
when
he
shall
see
that
all
his
hopes
depend
but
vpon
you
onely
,
which
haue
another
mark
in
your
head
,
and
yet
seeme
to
shoote
at
him
.
Yet
neuerthelesse
,
I
pray
you
my
Lord
let
it
be
considered
of
in
your
minde
,
the
meanes
by
which
you
haue
aspired
so
high
;
Hath
it
beene
by
your
owne
grauity
?
I
would
willingly
say
it
was
by
a
popular
fury
,
but
I
dare
not
.
Hath
it
beene
by
your
prowesse
,
which
I
hold
most
high
?
Pardon
me
if
I
sette
before
your
eyes
,
a
good
part
of
that
which
is
past
betweene
the
King
of
Nauarre
and
you
;
All
that
which
was
done
at
Deepe
:
the
battaile
of
Pure
:
the
vnexpected
surprise
of
our
Subburbs
:
the
reducing
vnder
the
Kings
power
the
Country
of
Maine
,
Alancon
,
&
of
the
greater
part
of
Normandie
teach
vs
the
cleane
contrary
:
I
represent
this
vnto
you
in
grosse
,
not
standing
to
particularise
them
:
for
I
woulde
be
humblie
sorry
,
that
it
shoulde
be
thought
I
woulde
obscure
anie
thing
of
your
glory
.
Needes
must
I
affyrme
thus
much
,
that
in
matter
of
ruine
against
a
poore
inhabitant
that
knowes
not
what
warre
meanes
,
we
onely
haue
the
Superficies
,
but
from
Warriour
to
Warriour
I
cannot
say
it
:
If
there
be
any
notable
theefe
,
hee
makes
himselfe
cheefe
in
one
Country
,
vnder
the
Standard
of
punishment
which
hee
awaits
from
vs
,
if
so
it
be
that
by
any
meanes
whatsoeuer
hee
afflicts
the
contrary
parte
,
without
exception
of
persons
;
but
when
we
shal
haue
leaue
to
enioy
a
rightful
combat
,
then
will
we
leaue
the
lystes
,
because
that
euery
one
that
makes
profession
of
theeuery
,
neuer
makes
profession
of
a
lawfull
quarrell
.
In
this
there
lyes
gayne
of
golde
and
Siluer
,
in
that
nothing
els
but
bare
blowes
.
I
wil
not
say
but
that
at
one
time
or
other
we
may
haue
good
successe
in
warres
,
for
warres
resemble
the
fortune
of
the
Dyce
:
but
so
it
is
,
that
mis-fortune
wils
thus
much
ill
reporte
to
be
sayd
of
you
,
That
you
neuer
durst
encounter
with
the
King
of
Nauarre
but
you
went
by
the
worst
:
which
I
coniecture
to
haue
beene
the
cause
why
you
would
not
come
to
combat
any
more
,
although
he
hath
oftentimes
sommoned
you
;
And
yet
(
O
God
forbid
that
I
should
blame
you
)
for
hauing
conquered
a
great
part
of
Fraunce
without
any
blowes
,
it
is
passing
wisedome
not
to
hazard
all
by
decision
of
one
battaile
.
Let
vs
then
(
if
it
standes
with
your
good
lyking
)
acknowledge
howe
you
came
to
this
highnes
of
your
degree
and
estate
,
which
you
enioy
heere
amongst
vs
;
The
Towne
of
Paris
,
(
vpon
the
modell
of
which
all
other
are
ruled
)
put
it selfe
in
Armes
and
made
you
her
chiefe
,
not
so
much
for
any
amity
or
familiarity
which
it
hath
had
with
you
or
your
house
,
as
for
an
extreame
hate
conceiued
against
the
late
King
:
And
withall
,
remembring
vs
of
the
day
of
the
Barrecades
and
other
things
which
insued
,
that
we
were
put
in
feare
to
be
most
grieuously
punished
,
hauing
lost
Mounsier
De
Guyse
our
chiefe
stay
:
rather
chusing
to
play
to
loose
all
,
then
to
see
our selues
exposed
to
so
ignominious
a
punishment
.
And
so
between
quaking
fearefull
,
and
bloody
hatefull
,
&
muzing
what
might
haue
become
of
your
Bretheren
,
which
ought
to
haue
mou'd
you
,
either
by
honor
or
by
iust
desire
of
vengeaunce
:
we
,
and
(
by
our
example
)
all
other
Townes
,
had
recourse
to
you
.
Loe
heere
in
generall
,
the
cause
why
you
are
entituled
Lieu-tenaunt
generall
of
the
estate
and
Crowne
of
Fraunce
:
to
whom
(
after
the
deceasse
of
the
late
King
)
all
the
sway
of
the
people
generally
inclined
.
And
in
all
this
you
knew
so
well
to
demeane
your selfe
,
that
you
had
diuers
Fryers
ready
,
which
in
their
Pulpits
,
did
openly
declaime
against
the
late
King
,
and
the
King
of
Nauarre
,
which
was
no
small
secrete
in
matter
of
ciuill
warre
.
It
followes
then
(
my
good
Lord
)
that
you
acknowledge
,
to
hold
in
faith
and
homage
to
the
people
,
both
your
promotion
,
the
progresse
thereof
,
and
your
workings
vnder-hand
:
yea
,
&
euen
that
you
had
no
power
of
your selfe
,
to
bring
in
the
Spaniards
into
Paris
,
(
which
nowe
seekes
to
sette
foote
on
her
throate
)
but
by
the
consentment
of
the
same
people
after
the
siedge
,
and
that
for
the
conseruation
and
surety
thereof
.
If
this
foundation
be
true
,
then
withall
you
must
agree
with
me
in
this
,
that
in
like
quantitie
as
the
loue
of
the
people
diminisheth
towards
you
,
euen
so
your
greatnes
must
agree
with
the
same
,
since
it
is
a
generall
and
infallible
rule
of
nature
,
that
all
things
haue
their
decrease
,
with
the
decrease
of
humor
,
from
which
they
haue
life
,
and
increase
themselues
.
But
as
touching
the
hate
betweene
the
late
King
and
the
people
,
it
lies
buried
with
his
body
;
And
as
touching
that
which
remains
towards
the
King
of
Nauarre
,
thinke
not
that
if
hee
abiures
his
error
,
and
that
we
see
him
goe
to
masse
,
and
submit
himselfe
in
as
full
sort
as
we
,
we
would
thinke
himselfe
lesse
Catholicke
then
eyther
you
or
yours
.
Nay
,
but
you
will
say
,
O
he
leaues
the
way
of
Rome
:
so
doth
the
Common-people
to
,
when
we
say
in
common
prouerb
.
Good
Horse
or
ill
man
,
till
the
day
of
Doome
Shall
nere
amend
,
because
he
was
at
Rome
.
So
that
then
the
cause
of
that
hatred
ceasing
,
in
lyke
manner
the
effect
shall
ende
:
Well
may
you
redouble
your
Guardes
,
disperse
them
in
corners
,
create
new
Marshals
,
haue
recource
to
the
Spaniard
,
and
yet
al
these
shal
be
but
so
many
instruments
of
your
ruine
;
You
are
like
the
man
that
would
holde
a
handfull
of
Ants
in
his
fist
perforce
.
The
redoubling
of
the
late
Kinges
Guardes
,
could
not
preuent
the
day
of
the
Barricades
.
The
establishing
of
new
Captains
and
Lieutenaunts
,
made
by
my
Lord
your
Brother
,
could
not
for
stall
his
ill
happe
when
the
time
was
come
.
And
touching
the
Spaniards
,
if
you
hope
to
haue
any
ayde
of
them
,
to
resist
the
common
hate
of
the
people
which
I
see
altogether
framed
against
you
,
I
doubt
not
but
a
while
they
will
bridle
them
,
&
yet
at
last
scape
.
It
was
a
rule
which
neuer
succeeded
well
to
any
Prince
,
when
he
sayd
:
Let
them
hate
me
,
yet
they
shall
feare
me
:
because
that
it
brings
this
comentary
with
it
,
that
there
is
nothing
so
long
a
depositaire
as
feare
.
But
let
vs
giue
all
fashions
that
wee
may
to
our
discourse
,
for
I
desire
nothing
so
much
as
that
I
may
see
you
prosper
.
There
remaines
one
meanes
which
shall
be
more
sweet
and
myld
,
to
haue
recourse
to
Fryers
,
which
oftentimes
tyrannise
our
consciences
by
places
of
the
Scripture
,
which
they
appropriate
to
their
passions
;
That
had
beene
good
at
the
fyrst
,
when
choller
did
transport
and
beare
vs
away
,
for
then
they
might
haue
made
vs
haue
beleeued
,
that
you
were
enterd
into
some
towne
of
Tours
,
into
the
Suburbe
of
the
which
you
were
no
sooner
entred
then
you
retired
:
and
as
touching
the
battayle
of
Yuny
,
sith
victorie
shoulde
doubtedly
haue
been
on
your
side
:
and
when
they
shold
assure
vs
,
that
in
all
the
Townes
of
the
Kings
side
there
was
publique
Religion
preached
.
These
were
thinges
which
be
beleeued
,
and
yet
notwithstanding
the
tyme
hath
proued
them
false
.
Then
we
were
in
a
burning
Ague
,
which
since
is
turned
into
a
Tertian
,
hauing
certain
dayes
of
respit
,
and
some
hope
that
our
Feuer
will
be
gone
.
The
often
letting
of
blood
,
&
long
dyeting
which
we
haue
kept
,
hath
now
healed
vs
.
Wee
begin
nowe
all
(
God
be
thanked
)
to
reknow
our selues
on
al
parts
.
Euerie
man
is
starued
for
want
of
peace
,
and
perhaps
the
Parisians
worst
starued
then
all
the
rest
.
Wee
see
our
great
Suburbs
turnd
topsie turuy
,
which
before
coulde
compare
with
the
greatest
Townes
and
Citties
of
Fraunce
:
We
see
our
noble
Colledges
(
sometime
Nurses
of
all
nobilitie
in
Europe
)
serue
nowe
for
Milk-houses
for
wenches
,
lodgings
for
Souldiours
,
and
stalls
or
Cattell
.
That
great
house
of
Loure
,
the
auncient
place
of
aboade
of
our
Kings
,
to
haue
serued
for
the
pryson
and
execution
place
:
infinite
Citties
to
be
enoblised
with
the
ruine
of
ours
,
which
now
is
now
no
more
then
a
carkasse
:
the
greater
part
of
the
Lords
of
the
Parliament
,
Chamber
of
Accounts
,
&
Generals
of
iustice
,
to
keepe
prison
in
theyr
houses
,
yea
,
and
to
carry
their
prisons
with
them
:
although
to
please
you
they
seeme
not
to
doe
so
.
Wee
see
a
multitude
of
Brothels
&
Stewes
almost
at
euery
doore
:
and
that
amongst
the
greater
.
(
O
the
good
and
holy
Religion
.
)
If
in
the
Courte
of
the
King
of
Nauarre
such
a
thing
should
be
,
they
should
knowe
and
heare
of
it
.
In
this
meane
season
the
poore
people
die
for
hunger
and
thirst
.
The
gladdest
of
the
Bourgesses
,
is
happy
to
become
a
Cow-heard
to
gette
his
lyuing
,
other
to
liue
by
the
sight
of
a
little
Rabbit
,
as
if
this
great
and
royall
Cittie
were
become
altogether
Desert
.
All
the
playne
Countrie
remains
desolate
and
barren
.
You
haue
promised
euen
from
the
beginning
of
these
troubles
,
vtterly
to
confounde
the
part
of
the
professors
:
and
vnder
these
promises
,
both
you
and
my
Lords
your
Brothers
haue
sette
all
Fraunce
on
fyre
.
Wee
see
not
so
much
as
one
poore
Cottage
where
the
religion
was
exercised
,
which
you
haue
brought
vnder
obedience
to
the
Church
.
It
is
nowe
a
yeere
since
you
made
vs
promise
,
to
make
vs
Maisters
of
Saint
Denis
,
Pont
de
Gournay
,
Corbeil
,
and
Melun
,
which
stop
the
passage
of
our
Conuoyes
;
Where
is
the
execution
of
your
promise
?
For
consolation
of
all
our
ils
,
you
haue
taken
one
poore
Towne
of
Noyon
,
and
is
not
that
a
fayre
peece
of
worke
?
But
what
fruite
haue
we
of
it
in
Paris
?
What
Towne
haue
you
taken
,
in
which
wee
poore
Catholicks
haue
not
indured
more
ils
then
they
of
the
Religion
?
Haue
wee
not
then
great
cause
of
discontentment
against
you
,
that
to
maintain
your
greatnes
,
the
poore
man
hath
neither
foode
nor
peace
.
When
I
say
your
greatnes
,
I
most
humbly
beseech
you
(
my
good
L.
)
to
be
pleased
,
onely
to
open
your
eyes
,
and
but
see
what
are
the
instruments
thereof
.
You
are
entituled
Lieu-tenaunt
generall
of
the
Crowne
of
Fraunce
,
that
Crowne
which
without
a
King
is
but
a
thing
imaginary
.
You
shyne
outwardly
,
but
inwardly
you
conceiue
a
thousand
sorrowes
that
oppresse
your
minde
;
For
notwithstanding
all
the
Lieutenantshippe
generall
that
you
beare
,
neither
Mounsier
de
Nemoux
your
Brother
,
nor
Mounsier
de
Guyse
your
Nephew
,
nor
Mounsier
de
Mercliel
your
Cosin
,
will
scarce
holde
you
for
such
in
those
places
which
they
hold
.
As
concerning
Townes
,
how
many
are
there
which
acknowledge
not
you
but
from
the
teeth
outwarde
?
and
withall
,
woulde
neuer
receiue
garrison
?
and
at
a
neede
,
are
ready
enough
to
deny
you
theyr
gates
?
These
are
populer
estates
in
regarde
of
the
King
of
Spayne
;
you
nourish
the
one
against
the
other
an
inward
malice
among
your selues
.
He
aydes
you
,
vnder
a
sure
purpose
which
he
hath
to
impatronise
himselfe
of
our
Realme
,
and
to
play
you
such
a
tricke
,
as
hee
dyd
the
Duke
De
Horne
,
and
the
Countie
De
Aeiguemont
,
after
that
(
according
to
your
authority
and
guiding
)
the
King
of
Nauarre
shal
be
expulst
.
You
on
the
other
side
,
call
him
to
your
succour
,
esteeming
,
that
when
you
are
come
to
the
height
of
your
work
,
you
shal
haue
meanes
enough
to
frustrate
him
of
his
hopes
.
Call
you
that
raigning
,
or
rather
to
bee
tyrannised
in
your selfe
by
your
proper
conscience
?
And
after
all
these
things
,
you
think
to
haue
the
winde
at
your
will
;
If
the
King
of
Spayne
liue
,
he
will
be
weary
of
that
,
if
hee
die
,
where
are
you
?
If
he
be
not
wearie
of
it
,
the
people
will
be
weary
of
him
and
his
:
for
there
is
nothing
so
incompetible
as
the
nature
of
the
French
with
the
Spanish
.
And
to
seperate
the
will
of
the
people
from
you
,
(
to
speake
in
good
and
true
English
)
is
to
cast
you
away
.
Consider
you
not
the
cheer
and
ioy
that
was
generally
conceiued
,
whilst
yet
there
was
nothing
but
euen
a
litle
speech
of
peace
?
with
what
good
will
it
hath
gathered
together
the
refuges
,
which
vnder
the
publique
faith
of
this
conference
are
entred
into
this
Towne
?
Did
you
not
see
them
at
the
first
present
themselues
before
our
Deputies
in
whole
swarmes
,
beseeching
them
(
in
all
humblenesse
)
to
haue
pittie
on
them
,
&
to
be
Mediators
for
this
so
much
desired
peace
?
You
now
hinder
them
by
deafe
means
.
Did
I
say
deafe
?
nay
,
rather
most
open
:
and
truely
this
ioy
,
these
sightes
,
the
prayers
and
vowes
of
the
poore
for
peace
,
are
but
euen
so
many
instruments
of
the
extraordinary
proces
of
your
fortune
.
We
mourne
most
hartilie
for
the
breach
of
peace
,
and
are
sorry
for
it
in
our
soules
:
you
by
your
presence
make
vs
shed
our
teares
;
God
graunt
that
the
patience
of
the
Parisians
cease
not
,
euen
as
the
headlong
downfall
of
some
Riuer
which
we
would
stop
.
I
feare
,
I
beleeue
,
and
see
,
that
by
the
same
progression
which
the
King
vsed
,
by
the
same
you
will
cast
away
your selfe
.
He
assembled
estates
at
Bloys
,
to
ruine
our
house
,
&
that
was
his
owne
:
you
assemble
the
Estates
at
Paris
,
thinking
to
strike
the
last
blow
at
the
fortune
of
the
King
of
Nauarre
,
God
graunt
it
may
be
the
last
to
your selfe
.
I
hold
opinion
,
that
the
Parisians
of
force
must
accord
to
your
pleasure
,
indeed
there
wants
but
two
or
three
Townes
,
which
should
band
themselues
on
your
side
,
to
serue
for
example
to
all
other
:
euen
so
as
when
wee
forsooke
the
late
King
of
Fraunce
.
Wel
,
I
make
no
doubt
,
that
if
to
oppose
themselues
against
a
King
that
was
their
lawful
and
vndoubted
heyre
,
they
woulde
make
Barracades
against
him
,
they
ende
not
like
your
tragedy
,
that
gourmandize
in
deuouring
them
.
Against
you
(
I
say
)
who
from
henceforth
shall
be
accounted
a
most
notable
vsurper
of
that
greatnes
you
hold
.
You
haue
beene
the
rod
of
God
to
chastice
our
Kings
,
which
I
trust
he
wil
at
last
throw
into
the
fire
of
his
indignation
;
and
if
he
doe
it
not
,
the
most
excellent
victory
which
euer
you
can
obtaine
,
is
that
against
Sampson
,
to
remaine
amidst
all
the
ruines
of
Fraunce
.
It
is
there
where
I
will
end
my
remonstrance
,
which
I
most
humbly
beseech
you
(
my
most
excellent
good
Lord
)
to
read
,
and
examine
in
your selfe
,
which
hauing
done
,
I
shall
haue
attained
the
furthest
of
my
desires
:
but
if
your
leysure
be
not
such
,
yet
at
the
least
wise
,
let
them
be
imparted
to
the
people
.
Conditionally
,
that
if
anie
of
ours
think
that
I
haue
failed
in
any
poynt
,
I
will
not
be
sorry
that
they
make
me
aunswere
,
promising
them
to
shew
that
I
haue
left
more
behind
then
I
haue
spoken
.
