,
he
intimated
a

great
Ministers
of
the
Court
,
from
his
owne
side
,
vnto
the
Queenes
,
which
is
on
the
other
side
of
the
Palace
,
and
there
hee
found
the
Queene

This

it
pleased
the
Prince
to
command
the
Earle

Afterwards
they

and
with
much
courtesie
tooke

in
all

things
the

his
comportment
was
so
naturall
and
sutable
to
his
qualitie
and
greatnesse
,
that
he
gaue
thereby
iust
cause
to
the
Spaniards
highly
to
honor
him
,
as
it
appeares
they
generally
do
.
From
the
Queenes
side
he
was
conducted
by
his
Maiesty
,
in
the
same
Equipage
that
hee
came
thither
,
vnto
the
Kings

,
where
when

entertained
his
Highnesse
a
while
,
with
beholding
from
a
Window
certaine
Masters
and
Gentlemen
that
exercised
Fencing
before
them
,
his
Maiesty
then
led
him
to
another
window
that
looked
vpon
a
large

before
the
Court
gate
,
and
telling
the
Prince
that
he

only
goe

see
the
Queene
,
tooke
his
Brother
Don
Carlos
with
him
,
leauing
the
Infante
Cardinall
with
the
Prince
,
to
