A
Declaratorie
Letter
,
to
the
Queene
,
Mother
of
the
King
,
Regent
in
France
.
MADAME
,
GOD
ordained
in
the
old
Testament
,
that
no
man
should
seethe
the
Kidde
in
the
Milke
of
her
Damme
or
Mother
;
to
instruct
thereby
,
according
to
the
exposition
of
Philo
the
Iew
,
that
hée
shold
not
be
charged
with
new
affliction
,
who
in
other
cases
is
oppressed
.
According
to
this
rule
dictated
of
the
same
nature
,
these
men
of
our
Society
shold
hope
,
that
,
by
this
lamentable
accident
which
hath
shaken
with
dreadfulnesse
the
two
Poles
of
Christendome
;
they
might
(
at
least
)
haue
a
free
breathing
,
to
sigh
after
their
incomparable
losse
:
a
losse
which
to
them
is
as
much
in
particular
,
as
it
is
to
all
in
generall
and
common
.
But
they
pay
the
same
price
,
as
happens
to
them
who
meeting
vnder
the
ruines
of
a
crazed
building
,
where
one
stone
staies
not
for
another
,
doe
couer
and
ouerwhelme
them
altogether
vpon
whom
they
fall
:
we
being
with
hart
and
body
busied
,
for
translation
of
that
precious
pawne
and
remarkable
gage
,
which
it
pleased
your
Maiestie
to
haue
consigned
into
our
handes
,
by
them
of
my
Lord
the
Prince
de
Conty
,
and
whereunto
the
principall
Lordes
of
France
rendered
their
latest
honours
:
when
there
were
some
,
slenderly
affected
to
Catholique
Religion
,
and
to
them
that
are
of
our
profession
;
to
discredit
vs
,
and
make
benefit
of
our
absence
;
who
sowed
abroade
such
bruites
,
so
farre
off
from
true
resemblance
and
probability
,
as
a
man
would
neuer
haue
imagined
,
that
such
calumnies
could
enter
,
(
especially
in
railing
)
into
the
opinion
of
any
reasonable
soule
.
This
came
by
the
occasion
of
a
very
badde
booke
,
the
doctrine
whereof
hath
beene
(
by
good
right
)
condemned
,
by
the
Court
of
Parliament
:
some
maintaining
,
that
the
doctrine
contained
in
that
booke
,
was
common
to
al
the
Iesuites
:
Others
,
that
it
was
in
such
sort
particuler
to
the
Authour
,
as
that
many
of
the
selfe
same
company
had
written
to
the
contrary
,
and
altogether
had
condemned
it
,
in
the
body
of
the
Prouinciall
congregation
,
some
few
yeares
since
.
A
difference
,
which
the
least
passionate
might
determine
,
concluding
,
that
disallowance
should
be
the
reason
,
and
that
it
must
be
attended
,
what
we
should
say
thereof
.
Whereupon
,
I
hauing
beene
named
in
particuler
,
this
is
the
cause
,
Madame
,
that
instantly
made
mée
set
hand
to
pen
,
to
represent
vnto
you
,
(
as
to
her
that
is
equally
affected
to
the
true
Religion
,
the
most
interessed
in
the
good
of
this
State
,
and
the
very
safest
Sanctuarie
that
innocence
can
haue
)
that
which
the
Doctors
of
our
company
haue
written
vpon
this
subiect
.
Knowing
,
that
the
greatnesse
of
affaires
wil
not
easily
permit
you
,
to
looke
into
this
case
your selfe
,
nor
the
little
loue
which
those
detractors
doe
beare
vs
,
make
any
true
report
vnto
you
.
After
all
this
,
I
wil
declare
with
the
selfe
same
breuity
,
what
is
the
common
sense
,
and
what
is
the
opinion
of
our
Societie
,
dispersed
through
the
world
concerning
the
matter
whereof
question
is
made
.
They
all
presupposing
one
verity
,
which
cannot
bée
called
into
controuersie
,
no
,
not
euen
by
the
hatefull
and
enuious
of
this
flourishing
Crowne
:
To
wit
,
that
the
subiect
which
was
debated
in
the
Councell
of
Constance
,
and
which
(
since
then
)
hath
beene
declared
more
amply
by
our
Catholique
Doctors
,
concerning
the
expulsion
of
Tyrants
:
doth
not
any
way
touch
the
happy
renowne
and
most
honourable
memory
,
of
him
whose
death
we
deepely
deplore
,
his
life
hauing
beene
so
farre
from
the
detection
of
tyranny
;
as
it
hath
beene
,
and
for
euer
shall
bee
to
all
the
Monarches
in
the
world
:
the
model
of
Piety
,
Iustice
,
Clemency
,
Valour
,
Debonaritie
,
and
Fatherly
affection
towardes
all
his
Subiects
.
In
the
first
place
,
the
most
Illustrous
Cardinall
Tolet
presents
himselfe
to
our
eyes
,
a
personage
of
rare
knowledge
,
a
Spaniard
by
Nation
,
and
a
French-man
in
affection
.
In
the
first
Booke
of
his
Summe
,
the
sixt
Chapter
,
there
he
teacheth
in
expresse
tearmes
that
it
is
not
lawful
to
attempt
on
the
life
of
a
Prince
although
he
doe
abuse
his
power
.
And
addeth
,
that
to
maintaine
the
contrary
,
is
an
heretical
doctrine
,
condemned
in
the
Councell
of
Constance
.
The
most
Illustrous
and
most
learned
Bellarmine
,
answering
to
the
selfe
same
obiection
,
in
the
third
Chapter
of
his
Apologeticall
answere
to
the
booke
of
the
King
of
great
Brittaine
speaketh
thus
.
I
haue
neuer
read
,
nor
heard
it
said
,
that
eternall
life
should
bee
promised
,
to
them
that
attempt
on
the
life
of
Kinges
.
But
contrariwise
I
haue
read
,
that
the
Article
which
saith
:
Euery
Tyrant
may
and
ought
lawfully
bee
slaine
:
was
long
since
condemned
in
the
first
Session
of
the
Councell
of
Constance
.
Very
true
it
is
,
that
Iohn
Wickliffe
an
English-man
,
hee
whom
the
Protestants
doe
praise
so
much
,
and
of
whose
commendations
they
haue
made
a
Placarde
in
the
frontispice
of
their
Histories
,
teacheth
:
That
he
is
no
longer
a
Lord
,
either
Ecclesiasticall
or
Ciuill
,
after
the
one
or
other
is
fallen
into
any
deadly
sinne
.
An
errour
which
the
said
Councell
condemned
in
the
eight
Session
.
Gregory
of
Valencia
,
a
man
of
eminent
knowledge
,
as
publique
testimony
maketh
proofe
,
which
is
deliuered
of
him
in
Italie
,
Spaine
,
and
Germany
;
he
writing
on
the
second
part
of
Saint
Thomas
,
Question
64
and
conforming
himselfe
to
the
Doctrine
of
other
Schoole
Diuines
,
determineth
:
that
it
is
no
way
permitted
to
attempt
vpon
the
life
of
a
Prince
,
although
he
should
abuse
his
authority
.
Alphonsus
Salmeron
,
in
the
thirteenth
Tome
of
his
workes
,
expounding
the
thirteenth
Chapter
of
the
Epistle
to
the
Romans
,
instructeth
the
very
same
,
he
citeth
the
Councell
of
Constance
,
and
declareth
the
fact
of
Aod
on
Eglon
King
of
the
Moabites
,
Martin
del
Rio
,
who
is
in
like
manner
famous
in
al
kinde
of
good
writings
,
in
his
Commentaries
vpon
Hercules
Furens
in
Seneca
,
number
920.
saith
:
That
the
sentence
of
the
Poet
is
perilous
,
and
alleageth
to
the
contrary
,
the
decree
of
the
Councell
of
Constance
,
which
cannot
be
too
often
inculcated
,
reiterated
,
and
declared
to
the
people
in
this
matter
.
Sebastian
Heissius
,
in
his
Apologeticall
declaration
of
Aphorismes
,
attributed
to
the
Iesuites
doctrine
,
sheweth
by
the
very
wordes
of
Mariana
,
that
he
spake
out
of
his
owne
head
,
and
that
he
himselfe
,
perceiuing
that
he
had
exceeded
the
limites
of
the
common
doctrine
,
did
acknowledge
,
that
he
was
subiect
to
errour
,
and
he
should
be
submitted
to
the
censure
of
whomsoeuer
would
accept
it
,
immediatly
after
,
his
opinion
was
brought
,
and
the
common
censure
of
all
the
Diuines
of
our
company
,
that
he
counterpointed
that
of
the
said
Mariana
.
Martin
Becanus
,
in
his
Answere
to
the
ninth
Aphorisme
,
sendeth
the
Reader
to
the
Councell
of
Constance
,
shewing
,
that
a
lawfull
Prince
cannot
loose
his
superiority
,
although
he
should
become
a
Tyrant
.
Iaques
Gretserus
,
Reader
in
Diuinitie
at
Ingolstad
,
in
his
Booke
intituled
vespertilio
haereticopolicus
,
answering
to
some
obiections
that
had
béene
made
vnto
him
concerning
the
opinion
of
Mariana
;
saith
with
Heissius
:
That
hee
ought
to
holde
with
the
common
consent
,
leauing
the
particular
iudgement
of
Mariana
,
and
that
hee
himselfe
had
submitted
to
that
of
others
.
Leonard
Lessius
Reader
in
Diuinitie
at
Louaine
,
in
his
second
booke
De
iusticia
&
iure
,
the
ninth
Chapter
,
and
fourth
doubt
;
giueth
his
consent
likewise
to
the
common
sentence
,
That
it
is
not
lawfull
to
enterprise
on
the
person
of
a
Prince
,
although
hée
should
abuse
his
power
;
grounding
his
saying
on
the
aduertisement
of
the
Prince
of
the
Apostles
,
Seruants
,
be
yee
subiect
to
your
Masters
,
and
not
onely
to
the
good
and
modest
,
but
also
to
the
sharpe
and
troublesome
,
and
then
hée
alleadgeth

aboue
named
Decrée
of
the
Councell
.
Nicholas
Serier
,
writing
on
the
third
Chapter
of
the
booke
of
Iudges
,
in
the
first
question
,
declareth
,
that
the
Act
of
Aod
,
neither
can
,
or
ought
to
serue
,
for
fore-iudging
or
example
to
detestable
Assassinates
,
Parricides
,
and
murtherers
of
their
Kings
.
Iohn
Azor
,
in
the
second
part
of
his
morall
Institutions
,
the
first
booke
,
fift
Chapter
,
and
tenth
Question
,
shewes
himselfe
a
much
greater
enemie
of
the
audacious
and
sacrilegious
attentates
,
of
such
as
shal
enterprise
vpon
the
liues
of
Princes
,
Instructing
,
that
it
is
not
lawfull
,
to
attempt
on
the
liues
of
them
that
doe
vniustly
possesse
themselues
of
ane
State
,
Grounding
his
saying
principally
vpon
this
;
that
no
man
ought
to
be
condemned
,
before
he
be
heard
,
and
without
knowledge
of
the
cause
,
in
which
case
,
any
one
particular
is
no
competent
Iudge
.
As
for
Lewes
Richeome
,
his
Apologies
doe
make
peremptory
proofe
of
the
vnreconcilable
hatred
,
which
he
beares
to
the
doctrine
of
such
,
as
dogmatise
against
the
authority
of
Kings
,
And
that
in
such
maner
,
as
the
Lord
Pasquire
himselfe
,
a
criticke
censurer
of
his
workes
,
after
he
hath
reported
his
words
in
the
third
booke
and
first
Chapter
,
hee
commendeth
him
,
and
saith
,
that
he
cannot
chuse
but
loue
him
,
adding
these
words
,
I
cannot
chuse
but
honor
thee
,
beholding
thee
,
to
portraite
the
Idea
of
obedience
,
which
the
Subiect
oweth
to
his
King
.
A
praise
which
hee
might
giue
to
many
other
of
the
same
Societie
,
who
,
after
they
had
examined
this
matter
with
Saint
Thomas
and
the
whole
Schoole
,
concluded
all
conformably
to
the
Sorbonne
,
and
to
that
which
hath
béene
determined
in
the
Councell
of
Constance
.
Such
then
being
the
sense
,
and
such
the
sentences
of
these
Doctors
,
very
graue
and
signall
men
of
our
company
,
what
preiudice
can
the
particular
opinion
of
Mariana
bring
to
the
reputation
of
a
whole
Order
?
which
Order
being
(
according
to
her
Institution
)
extreamely
iealous
,
for
the
manutention
of
those
holy
ordinances
of
the
Church
,
and
respecting
the
power
and
authority
of
Kings
,
who
,
for
their
temporall
estate
,
doe
depend
onely
vpon
God
:
haue
(
of
long
time
)
disallowed
the
legertie
of
a
drie
penne
,
and
namely
in
the
Prouinciall
congregation
of
Fraunce
,
helde
in
this
Citie
of
Paris
the
yéere
1606.
where
moreouer
,
the
reuerend
Father
Claudius
Aquanina
,
Generall
of
our
Company
,
was
required
,
that
such
as
had
written
to
the
preiudice
of
the
Crowne
of
Fraunce
,
might
be
reprooued
,
and
their
Bookes
suppressed
,
which
the
saide
Reuerend
Father
(
afterward
)
did
very
seriously
and
exactly
:
being
very
sorie
,
that
by
ouer-sight
or
negligence
in
his
absence
,
and
without
sight
of
the
worke
;
any
one
should
presume
vpon
his
admittance
.
The
words
which
he
vseth
in
his
answere
,
are
these
.
We
haue
approued
the
iudgment
and
care
of
your
congregation
,
and
haue
béene
greatly
gréeued
,
that
no
man
will
looke
after
the
impressions
of
such
Bookes
:
which
Bookes
neuerthelesse
,
wée
haue
suddainly
commaunded
to
be
corrected
,
and
shall
haue
most
exact
care
hence-forwarde
,
that
such
things
shall
not
happen
any
more
.
So
that
very
hardly
now
is
to
be
found
one
onely
Copy
of
Mariana
,
except
it
be
by
the
pernitious
liberality
,
of
the
inheritours
of
Wechell
,
who
are
knowne
to
be
of
the
pretended
reformed
Religion
:
and
haue
caused
the
said
Booke
to
be
imprinted
at
their
owne
proper
charges
,
not
so
much
excited
(
as
is
easie
to
be
presumed
)
by
desire
to
the
publique
seruice
,
as
particularly
to
hurt
our
Company
.
Some
are
of
the
mind
,
that
they
haue
added
thereto
somewhat
of
their
own
:
Others
say
,
that
those
Bookes
of
the
first
impression
were
much
worse
,
a
controuersie
seruing
to
no
purpose
:
for
albeit
it
were
so
,
and
that
no
man
had
lent
any
charity
,
to
this
ill-handled
penne
:
yet
is
there
no
reason
why
it
should
rather
incommodate
the
body
of
our
Societie
;
then
the
writings
of
Iohn
Petit
,
and
others
,
the
Uniuersities
and
Orders
whereof
they
were
Schollers
,
Batchelers
,
Maisters
,
and
Doctours
.
But
forasmuch
,
Madame
,
as
I
made
promise
in
the
beginning
,
to
expose
clearely
and
distinctly
what
our
opinion
and
credence
is
,
touching
the
matter
proposed
,
I
come
now
to
the
point
,
which
shall
make
vp
the
last
part
of
this
declaration
.
1.
All
the
Iesuites
in
generall
and
particural
,
will
signe
,
yea
,
euen
with
their
proper
blood
;
that
they
do
not
hold
,
either
in
this
matter
,
or
any
other
whatsoeuer
,
any
other
faith
,
doctrine
,
or
opinion
,
then
that
of
the
whole
vniuersall
Church
.
2.
In
the
second
place
,
that
among
all
the
kindes
of
gouernment
,
and
publicke
administration
,
Monarchie
only
is
the
best
.
3.
That
such
is
the
spirituall
gouernement
of
the
Church
,
as
it
came
to
the
Vicar
of
Iesus
Christ
the
successor
of
Saint
Peter
,
and
such
the
temporall
of
the
State
and
Kingdome
of
Fraunce
,
as
it
holdeth
in
the
person
of
the
King
,
her
soueraigne
Lord
and
Maister
.
4.
That
Kings
are
,
as
Homer
calls
them
,
the
children
,
and
darlings
of
God
,
or
rather
his
soules
image
,
as
Meander
saith
.
5.
That
they
are
annointed
,
and
thereby
surnamed
Christes
of
the
Lord
,
to
the
end
,
saith
Simon
Archbishop
of
Thessalonica
,
that
each
one
may
vnderstand
,
that
they
are
inuiolable
,
and
ought
to
be
respected
,
as
things
holy
and
sacred
.
6.
That
it
is
a
damnable
heresie
(
euen
as
Saint
Ireneus
noted
it
fourtéene
hundred
yéeres
agoe
)
to
beléeue
,
that
Kings
are
giuen
to
men
by
chaunce
or
hap
,
Damieta
,
in
the
most
ancient
paintings
,
wée
behold
a
hand
comming
out
of
heauen
,
that
sets
a
Crowne
vpon
their
head
.
7.
That
whosoeuer
resisteth
Kings
,
or
rebelleth
against
them
,
8.
That
obedience
is
due
vnto
them
,
not
because
they
are
vertuous
,
wise
,
potent
,
or
endued
with
other
commendable
qualities
:
but
because
they
are
Kings
,
established
by
God
.
9.
That
our
Kings
in
Fraunce
,
are
the
eldest
in
the
Church
,
endowed
with
rare
and
signall
priuiledges
,
aboue
the
common
condition
of
other
Kings
in
the
world
.
10.
That
it
is
not
lawfull
to
denie
them
obedience
,
much
lesse
then
to
reuolt
or
turne
against
them
:
although
they
were
vicious
,
hard
to
endure
,
and
froward
,
according
as
the
same
Apostle
speaketh
.
11.
That
in
such
case
,
we
ought
to
pray
for
them
,
as
the
Prophet
willed
it
to
be
done
,
for
the
prosperity
of
Nabuchodonozer
,
and
Balthazar
his
sonne
.
And
that
afflictions
,
losse
of
goods
,
persecutions
,
and
other
discommodities
,
are
to
be
endured
patiently
:
without
rebelling
(
for
any
of
these
)
against
superiours
,
because
such
things
are
most
acceptable
to
God
,
and
conformable
to
the
praise
,
which
(
in
the
like
case
)
S.
Paule
gaue
to
the
Hebrewes
,
and
to
the
ordinance
which
he
had
published
in
the
Church
,
Let
euery
soule
be
subiect
to
the
superiour
powers
.
12.
And
therefore
,
that
not
only
it
is
vnlawfull
,
to
attempt
vpon
their
persons
;
but
also
,
that
it
is
an
execrable
paricide
,
a
prodigious
offence
,
and
a
detestable
sacriledge
.
13.
That
the
Decrée
in
the
Councell
of
Constance
in
the
fiftéenth
Session
,
ought
to
bée
receiued
of
all
men
,
and
also
to
be
maintained
inuiolably
.
14.
That
the
declaration
of
Sorbonne
,
in
the
yéere
141●
.
and
that
of
Iune
this
present
yéere
,
is
good
,
holy
and
wholsome
.
15.
What
euery
one
is
to
be
aduertised
,
to
take
héede
of
diuers
Bookes
,
which
goe
against
the
Edicts
,
the
reading
whereof
is
not
only
in
this
matter
greatly
dangerous
:
but
much
more
to
be
feared
,
that
their
Authors
being
(
to
our
extreame
gréef
)
themselues
deuided
from
the
Catholique
Church
,
doe
hold
(
as
nothing
)
the
Councell
of
Constance
,
all
Catholique
censures
,
and
the
Doctors
before
mentioned
:
but
that
which
is
to
be
deplored
,
they
doe
fortifie
themselues
the
stronger
in
their
opinions
,
by
their
opposition
,
and
séeme
to
render
themselues
so
much
the
more
recommendable
vnto
their
admirers
.
I
would
note
downe
the
places
,
specifie
the
passages
,
and
alledge
the
very
words
:
were
it
not
,
that
it
is
much
better
,
they
should
remaine
buried
in
the
bottomlesse
depth
of
obliuion
:
and
fitteth
more
conueniently
,
to
make
knowne
,
that
innocencie
hath
better
arms
,
then
this
recrimination
.
And
for
this
reason
also
,
I
could
wholly
haue
abstained
from
this
aduertisement
,
had
it
not
béene
my
desire
to
shew
,
that
the
body
of
our
company
,
can
no
more
bee
infected
by
the
opinion
of
one
man
,
then
those
of
the
pretended
reformed
Religion
,
doe
finde
themselues
any
way
interessed
,
by
the
erronious
doctrine
of
some
of
their
owne
ranke
:
whom
they
reiect
,
disallowe
,
and
condemne
,
as
willing
to
liue
(
with
vs
)
vnder
the
lawes
of
the
Kingdome
,
and
with
the
obedience
and
voluntarie
submission
,
which
wée
render
to
the
Scepter
of
our
Kings
.
And
I
am
perswaded
,
that
if
they
had
the
penne
in
hand
,
as
I
haue
,
they
would
say
with
vs
,
and
thunder
out
a
curse
(
euen
in
common
voyce
)
against
such
infamous
Authors
.
Which
being
maturely
and
wisely
considered
,
as
well
by
the
Court
of
Parliament
,
as
by
the
sacred
College
of
Sorbonne
:
they
haue
made
no
mention
at
all
in
their
Arrest
and
Decree
,
of
the
doctrine
of
the
Iesuites
.
Knowing
very
well
,
like
iust
Iudges
and
Doctors
,
that
faults
are
personall
;
that
there
would
bee
no
innocencie
in
the
world
,
if
the
offence
of
one
man
should
be
imputed
to
another
,
and
that
it
hath
beene
a
deplorable
and
incommunicable
property
of
sinne
,
which
was
committed
by
the
first
man
,
to
haue
his
extendure
ouer
others
,
because
his
posterity
was
represented
in
his
person
.
Knowing
also
else-where
,
by
the
reiterated
disposition
of
the
wicked
,
that
Mariana
had
not
in
any
thing
contributed
to
this
execrable
parricide
,
neither
could
he
doe
it
:
considering
,
that
the
villaine
had
not
sufficient
intelligence
,
of
the
tongue
,
wherein
the
said
booke
was
written
.
Wherein
is
discouered
,
the
scarse
charitable
intention
of
such
as
sticke
not
to
say
,
that
he
had
it
all
by
hart
,
to
the
end
,
to
throw
the
publique
hatred
of
this
mishappe
,
on
others
,
then
on
the
culpable
himselfe
.
It
is
then
in
this
case
,
Madame
,
that
you
are
most
humbly
intreated
,
to
imploy
your
supreame
authority
,
and
to
ordaine
,
that
all
those
writings
,
which
,
in
the
beginning
are
small
glimpses
of
rebellion
,
and
(
in
few
houres
)
will
become
flaming
Beacons
of
sedition
;
may
bee
taken
from
the
instant
view
of
the
French
:
you
are
our
Soueraigne
Lady
,
endued
by
God
,
with
a
high
vnderstanding
,
and
with
vertues
no
way
to
be
equalled
,
you
can
clearely
discerne
,
how
much
it
importeth
,
that
we
should
liue
vnited
,
which
séeing
it
cannot
be
,
in
one
and
the
same
faith
,
by
reason
of
the
iniquity
of
time
,
at
least
let
it
be
in
fidelity
,
obedience
and
mutuall
affection
,
for
conseruation
of
our
peace
.
We
haue
a
King
,
who
in
his
young
age
represents
to
vs
,
the
spirit
and
substance
of
great
Henry
,
his
Father
,
your
husband
,
and
who
with
the
increasing
of
his
yeares
,
will
haue
,
(
while
it
pleaseth
God
to
continue
vpon
him
his
benigne
influences
)
his
valour
,
his
wisedome
,
his
good
fortune
,
and
his
experience
.
It
is
for
vs
,
to
cherish
this
treasure
,
to
serue
(
with
good
hearts
)
this
great
and
little
Master
:
And
willingly
to
obey
you
his
most-honoured
Mother
,
our
Regent
and
Mistresse
.
And
to
the
end
,
that
nothing
may
trouble
the
vnion
,
which
onely
can
(
next
vnder
God
)
preserue
this
puissant
Monarchy
,
and
render
it
euermore
dreadfull
to
her
enimies
,
how
much
were
it
to
be
desired
,
Madam
,
that
(
among
vs
)
there
could
no
false
speakers
be
found
?
If
the
imposture
were
banished
,
his
fraternity
should
receiue
the
wages
due
to
their
calumny
;
rancours
would
be
rooted
vp
,
and
when
any
sinister
report
is
brought
vs
,
then
iudgement
would
be
susspended
:
And
in
a
word
,
according
to
the
Councell
of
the
Apostle
,
each
one
would
maintaine
inuiolably
the
band
of
charity
.
Those
Otaconstes
and
Prosagogides
of
these
times
,
are
greatly
to
be
feared
,
and
some
doe
holde
assuredly
,
that
if
it
so
liked
your
Maiesty
,
such
tongues
should
receiue
the
recompence
of
the
auncient
Quadruplatores
.
But
if
they
haue
it
not
from
men
,
let
them
attend
the
ineuitable
iustice
of
him
,
who
is
the
Author
,
protector
,
and
(
in
the
end
)
the
rewarder
of
innocence
.
Our
small
company
is
entred
,
and
(
aboue
al
other
Religious
families
)
most
exposed
to
the
hatred
and
calumny
of
such
,
as
will
not
take
the
paines
to
know
them
.
And
you
doe
know
,
Madam
,
how
many
times
the
deceased
King
our
good
Master
,
did
himselfe
doe
vs
the
fauour
,
to
defend
and
make
vs
knowne
:
you
can
witnesse
it
,
and
no
body
knowes
it
better
then
you
,
that
wheresoeuer
that
great
Prince
was
,
we
had
in
him
a
King
,
a
Father
,
and
a
Defender
.
But
alas
,
it
can
no
more
be
so
,
great
Henry
is
taken
away
from
vs
.
O
Fraunce
,
the
eye
of
Christendome
,
Rose
of
Empires
,
and
Pearle
of
the
world
,
how
great
is
this
losse
for
thée
,
and
how
horrible
this
ship-wracke
?
Fraunce
,
the
fauorite
of
heauen
,
and
welbeloued
of
God
;
who
hath
taken
away
the
Mantle
of
glory
,
that
couered
thée
,
and
the
crowne
of
honour
,
that
exalted
it selfe
so
highly
vpon
thy
head
?
who
hath
dealt
with
thée
so
,
thou
chosen
of
God
?
who
hath
thus
afflicted
thée
?
But
thou
poore
society
,
that
couldest
not
subsist
,
but
by
the
blessings
of
that
Monarch
,
who
hath
made
thée
so
desolate
?
so
deplorably
abased
,
and
so
miserably
enthralled
?
the
misfortune
is
common
to
all
,
but
it
is
singularly
particular
to
thée
,
this
blow
hath
smitten
the
whole
body
of
the
Kingdom
,
but
it
hath
wounded
thee
(
almost
)
mortally
.
O
how
approuedly
is
it
true
,
and
how
sensibly
dost
thou
féele
it
;
that
griefe
if
it
had
a
tongue
,
could
not
call
it selfe
griefe
?
And
I
,
that
write
these
things
,
how
iust
reason
haue
I
,
yea
,
more
then
all
others
,
to
leaue
my selfe
to
the
sadde
accents
of
a
teares-drowned
voyce
,
and
to
say
,
Adiew
O
thou
wonder
of
Kings
,
Adiew
thou
ornament
of
this
age
,
our
ioy
,
our
glory
,
and
our
honour
,
Adiew
thou
father
of
the
weale
publick
,
restorer
of
the
state
,
second
founder
and
chéefest
benefactor
of
our
companie
.
Adiew
my
King
,
my
Prince
and
my
defender
,
thou
hast
giuen
vs
in
this
vale
of
teares
,
the
rest
that
is
here
to
be
had
:
rest
thée
then
in
peace
,
liue
for
euer
among
the
Lillies
and
the
Roses
,
deliuered
from
the
thorny
charge
of
this
Monarchy
,
and
enioy
the
blessednesse
,
not
of
earth
,
but
of
heauen
.
Here
thou
hast
bin
the
most
eminent
subiect
of
the
grace
of
God
,
be
there
now
on
high
,
and
for
euer
so
continue
,
the
obiect
of
his
mercies
.
The
laurels
of
this
base
earth
,
doe
wither
very
easily
,
let
thy
head
weare
them
that
are
alwaies
verdant
:
Those
victories
,
triumphs
,
and
Empires
,
which
thou
beheldest
here
below
;
are
now
changed
into
a
more
eminent
glory
,
liue
then
for
euer
reioycing
in
that
possession
(
of
all
men
)
most
desired
.
Thy
happinesse
giues
vs
leaue
to
respire
,
thy
absence
iustly
compels
vs
to
suspire
,
and
the
place
where
we
make
no
doubt
thou
art
,
makes
vs
thither
to
aspire
:
for
leaning
on
the
mercy
of
God
,
the
sorrowful
circumstances
of
thy
decease
,
cannot
depriue
vs
of
hope
,
to
méete
thée
in
the
goodly
great
day
,
euen
there
,
where
we
shall
finde
thy
principall
,
and
the
wished
arriuall
,
after
so
gréeuous
a
diuorce
.
And
during
the
sadnesse
of
this
expectation
,
you
Madam
,
with
the
King
his
liuely
Image
,
shall
wipe
away
part
of
our
teares
.
We
doe
acknowledge
his
person
in
your
persons
,
his
Crown
,
in
your
Crowns
,
and
his

Royall
,
in
yours

and
though
all
your

are
bound
thereto
,
by
all
kindes
of
dueties
;
yet
our
company
,
being
thereto
extraordinarily
obliged
:
haue
charged
me
to
present
at

the

which
I
doe

so
much

because
I
am
tied

by
a
very
singular

From
