A
BRIEFE
DISCOVRSE
DIALOGVEWISE
SHEWING
HOWE
FALSE
AND
DAVNGEROVS
their
reports
are
,
which
affirme
the
Spaniards
intended
inuasion
to
be
,
for
the
reestablishment
of
the
Romish
religion
;
for
her
Maiesties
succors
giuen
to
the
Netherlanders
,
&c.
and
for
Sir
Frances
Drakes
enterprise
three
yeares
past
into
the
West
Indies
.
Epoenetus
,
Philemon
.
AFTER
her
Maiestie
had
taken
(
though
at
the
worst
hand
)
the
offers
of
the
lower
countryes
;
many
,
whom
nothing
(
if
not
fathered
by
them selues
)
can
please
,
affirmed
that
she
receaued
by
that
meane
a
sword
(
as
the
prouerbe
is
)
annointed
with
honie
;
inferring
therby
not
only
a
sweetnesse
,
by
retaining
them
mingled
with
danger
;
but
also
,
that
howsoeuer
she
gouerned
;
whether
by
lenitie
or
rigor
,
they
as
a
people
impatient
of
order
,
would
not
be
prescribed
,
but
would
either
with
the
crabfish
,
being
held
loosly
creepe
forth
;
or
hard
strained
with
the
eele
slip
away
:
by
meane
whereof
she
might
not
onely
liue
doubtfull
of
them
;
but
also
for
their
sakes
,
raise
a
cruel
and
vntractable
enemie
against
her
.
These
things
(
as
noting
the
iniurious
sclaunders
of
this
time
)
I
proposed
in
the
presence
of
diuers
,
amongst
whom
there
was
then
by
occasion
,
a
gentleman
of
those
parts
named
PHILEMON
,
who
after
long
fixing
his
eyes
on
me
,
with
such
countenance
as
he
had
againe
beheld
the
deepe
wounds
of
his
countrey
newly
bleeding
;
at
last
turned
to
the
rest
and
said
.
Nothing
(
Gentlemen
)
hath
in
this
life
bene
dearer
to
me
then
the
libertie
of
my
countrey
,
the
which
with
others
,
whilst
I
might
,
I
endeuored
to
make
eternall
:
neither
had
we
failed
to
effect
so
much
,
had
not
the
ambition
of
strangers
,
meeting
with
our
discension
,
brought
forth
the
first
fruicts
of
our
miseries
:
since
which
time
our
prouinces
haue
bene
so
tost
with
the
contrarie
winds
of
fortune
,
that
fewe
could
keepe
their
ores
,
or
holde
the
sterne
of
gouernement
:
for
whilst
many
commaunded
,
fewer
hauing
learned
to
obey
,
we
were
distracted
into
sundrie
fauors
:
some
as
neuer
acquainted
with
the
condition
of
libertie
,
preferring
the
title
of
Burgundie
,
some
the
neighbourhood
of
the
Empire
,
some
of
France
,
and
others
the
alliance
with
England
,
each
one
bestowing
their
apologies
,
either
in
the
conceits
of
Guses
,
Patriats
,
or
malcontents
:
by
meane
whereof
all
parts
in
steed
of
our
countrey
sports
,
were
so
filled
with
tokens
of
warre
,
that
no
place
was
left
for
good
men
to
bewaile
this
change
.
But
when
after
long
deliberation
,
we
had
,
as
wel
for
our
vnion
with
you
in
matters
of
religion
,
as
our
present
necessitie
both
of
defence
and
intercourse
of
trafficke
,
cast
our selues
into
the
armes
of
England
:
some
hope
remained
of
better
speed
had
not
the
diuision
of
opinions
for
a
time
stayd
her
Maiesties
laudable
endeuors
:
during
which
consultation
,
the
Duke
of
Parma
hauing
speedilier
deliberated
,
bereued
vs
of
Antwerpe
(
the
key
of
our
prouinces
)
by
which
he
hath
since
entered
other
townes
and
forts
of
account
.
And
though
we
tooke
hurt
by
her
Maiesties
cunctation
,
who
according
to
her
wonted
pietie
,
sought
to
reconcile
our
prouinces
to
Spaine
,
yet
we
intermitted
not
any
thing
that
might
concerne
either
our
ancient
alliance
,
or
duties
of
subiectes
,
but
haue
preferred
the
honor
of
her
nation
before
any
,
as
our
importunat
sute
to
be
shadowed
vnder
her
wing
of
iustice
,
and
our
seruice
dayly
attendant
,
haue
made
apparant
.
After
which
speeches
PHILEMON
with
his
eyes
full
of
teares
turning
againe
towards
me
,
said
,
How
miserable
is
our
time
in
which
auarice
and
tyrannie
keepe
weight
,
&
are
higher
priced
then
honestie
?
and
wherein
wolues
quarrell
with
lambes
for
troubling
the
streame
:
and
the
mouth
,
hands
,
and
other
members
conspire
against
the
belly
?
and
herein
moreouer
is
our
sorow
inexplicable
,
that
whilst
her
Maiesty
endeuored
to
haue
due
place
among
the
best
Princes
,
and
we
to
liue
in
the
order
of
good
subiectes
,
that
yet
both
haue
bene
subiect
to
one
sclaunder
,
farre
vnmeete
for
her
royall
dignitie
,
our
innocencie
and
loyaltie
.
To
which
I
answered
.
It
is
true
PHILEMON
that
manie
by
often
lying
beleeue
they
speake
the
only
oracles
of
God
,
by
meane
whereof
all
good
enterprises
are
either
suppressed
,
or
so
obscured
,
that
the
light
of
honour
due
to
them
and
their
authors
,
seemes
either
eclipsed
,
or
cleane
put
out
:
a
practise
drawen
,
as
I
thinke
,
from
the
custome
of
ill
women
,
who
to
be
lesse
blamed
,
accuse
all
vertuous
and
chast
matrons
of
lightnes
,
and
herein
is
our
disgrace
the
greater
,
in
that
we
haue
bred
those
birds
that
haue
not
onely
peckt
at
our
eyes
,
but
also
haue
defiled
their
owne
nest
with
all
infamie
,
not
fearing
(
though
they
would
seeme
the
louing
sonnes
of
our
countrey
,
and
readie
sacrifices
for
her
health
)
to
be
the
obliged
pensioners
of
Spaine
,
iniuriously
reporting
that
the
motions
of
that
kingdome
,
are
for
matter
of
religion
,
her
Maiesties
fauors
towards
your
people
,
and
her
enterprise
into
the
West
Indies
:
slanders
of
so
apparant
danger
,
the
same
extenuating
the
precedent
auarice
and
ambition
of
Spaine
,
meeting
with
the
ill
humors
of
our
people
,
that
I
maruell
those
feigners
should
no
lesse
in
their
conuenticles
lament
their
practise
,
then
Cicero
wondered
the
Aruspices
could
in
deluding
the
people
,
forbeare
laughter
beholding
one
another
.
To
which
PHILEMON
;
the
sunne
hath
not
beheld
anie
thing
more
vnsemely
then
this
pretence
of
iustice
,
cloked
with
a
deepe
desire
of
noueltie
:
those
rumors
being
not
onely
factious
,
but
also
false
,
and
regarding
the
time
,
full
of
perill
and
danger
,
as
you
EPOENETVS
,
said
he
,
may
know
,
if
you
loke
but
as
far
as
the
emperour
Charles
the
fift
,
when
Granuellanus
in
our
prouinces
,
and
Philip
not
long
after
in
this
realme
,
sought
to
make
our
golden
fleece
and
your
Lion
a
pray
for
the
Egles
of
Austria
.
Then
I.
I
am
not
ignorant
PHILEMON
of
either
:
for
whilst
all
places
(
as
with
bright
tropheis
of
papacie
)
were
lightened
with
the
burnt
bodies
of
the
people
;
Philip
hoised
his
first
saile
of
ambition
,
which
as
a
skilfull
maister
he
bare
so
lowe
,
that
many
fauored
his
course
,
and
wished
him
the
good
windes
of
fortune
,
especially
his
wife
Mary
,
who
being
perswaded
by
him
,
it
wold
greatly
aduance
her
authority
,
were
he
crowned
and
made
her
companion
of
dignity
,
seriously
endeuored
(
not
knowing
howe
much
that
ceremony
would
preiudice
her
succession
)
to
effect
his
purpose
.
To
this
she
was
also
greatly
incited
by
the
clergie
,
who
to
make
sure
their
particular
,
by
that
mean
,
cared
not
to
hazard
the
generall
state
of
the
realme
.
But
the
Lords
,
who
by
an
ancient
policie
had
greater
interest
in
matters
of
gouernement
,
hauing
more
cause
to
regard
the
reputation
of
their
houses
(
likely
to
diminish
by
his
neighbourhood
)
then
the
Prelats
their
momentanie
dignities
,
withstood
it
as
a
matter
dangerous
,
and
not
without
common
perill
.
This
purpose
being
ouerthrowne
by
their
prouidence
,
he
taketh
occasion
by
tumults
happening
about
that
season
,
to
perswade
his
wife
to
new
matter
,
seeming
not
only
profitable
,
but
also
necessarie
for
both
,
alledging
that
he
often
departing
this
realme
for
the
affaires
of
his
own
countries
,
could
not
without
danger
performe
the
parts
of
a
louing
husband
towards
her
,
the
blockhouses
standing
which
might
prohibit
his
returne
,
and
the
want
of
common
fauor
remaining
.
For
greater
credit
whereof
he
cited
a
late
act
then
of
the
valorous
Baron
the
Lord
William
Howard
of
Effingham
high
Admiral
of
England
,
who
being
sent
to
conduct
him
with
the
nauie
,
brought
the
kings
ship
in
perill
,
by
deliuering
some
great
shot
,
for
that
he
wouldnot
,
as
the
custome
is
,
strike
saile
,
by
which
ceremonie
he
was
to
acknowledge
the
Queenes
soueraigntie
in
these
seas
.
I
was
,
said
PHILEMON
,
at
that
time
in
the
shipping
of
our
country
with
the
Spanish
fleete
,
and
know
that
to
be
the
onely
cause
why
that
noble
Baron
was
after
remoued
from
his
romth
:
but
proceed
EPOENETVS
.
This
motion
(
said
I
,
returning
where
I
left
)
seeming
iust
,
was
forthwith
effected
:
and
what
lets
soeuer
to
his
returne
,
either
rased
,
or
translated
into
his
seuerall
countries
,
vnder
colour
of
furnishing
him
for
the
warres
of
France
:
so
that
for
atchieuing
his
intention
(
hauing
the
fauor
of
his
wife
and
Prelats
)
he
wanted
litle
more
then
time
(
we
being
in
a
manner
disarmed
)
to
be
made
absolute
,
&
to
apply
the
significant
posie
of
the
golden
fleece
,
PRETIVM
NON
VILE
LABORIS
,
to
the
order
of
our
George
&
Garter
,
which
perhaps
(
being
toucht
in
conscience
with
the
honorable
deuice
and
meaning
of
our
order
,
HON
Y
SOIT
QVI
MAL
Y
PENSE
)
he
would
haue
refused
.
These
proceedings
were
then
suspected
as
tending
to
disbranch
the
naturall
cions
to
ingraffe
him selfe
,
which
he
had
in
nearer
sort
attempted
,
had
he
not
bene
tript
by
the
death
of
his
wife
.
And
notwithstanding
that
he
had
therby
lost
many
occasions
of
time
and
place
,
and
that
his
pray
readie
to
be
deuoured
,
was
by
that
meane
taken
from
betweene
his
teeth
,
he
yet
desisted
not
to
take
occasion
by
the
forehead
,
when
,
and
wheresoeuer
he
met
her
:
for
which
cause
,
and
to
impresse
an
opinion
in
all
nations
of
his
right
to
our
countrey
,
he
ioyned
manie
yeares
after
her
Maiesties
happie
enterance
to
the
Royall
seate
,
the
title
of
England
with
that
of
his
own
dominions
:
which
could
not
be
with
any
good
meaning
,
or
without
great
preiudice
to
her
Maiestie
,
her
heires
,
&
lawfull
successors
.
These
things
are
well
knowen
to
manie
yet
liuing
:
neither
will
the
Spaniards
by
colour
of
the
authoritie
they
had
gotten
amongst
vs
,
deny
it
as
a
thing
vniust
,
considering
that
the
limitation
of
tyrants
consisteth
in
things
they
can
not
get
:
but
if
these
good
bodies
should
(
appealing
to
the
fauor
of
malcontents
)
complaine
they
are
sclandered
,
let
vs
enter
into
a
scrutiny
of
times
,
and
we
shall
find
them
charged
with
the
munition
,
artillerie
,
and
other
abillements
of
warre
,
which
could
not
be
embezeled
to
any
other
end
then
the
increase
of
their
empire
.
But
if
they
denie
the
hauing
of
it
,
or
that
they
had
it
to
any
such
vse
,
I
will
ioyne
with
them
in
issue
for
both
.
If
they
had
it
not
,
let
them
(
they
running
through
the
store
of
the
realme
)
accompt
how
it
was
bestowed
.
For
Henrie
the
eight
,
being
one
of
the
victorious
kings
of
that
age
,
&
stil
in
action
with
France
and
Scotland
,
(
the
least
of
which
is
able
to
abate
the
high
thoughts
of
a
proud
enemie
)
could
not
,
in
respect
of
his
conquests
,
be
vnfurnished
of
prouision
to
withstand
the
power
of
so
great
aduersaries
.
Agayne
the
time
betweene
this
triumphant
king
,
&
his
daughter
Mary
was
(
in
regard
of
our
expectation
)
but
short
,
in
which
there
was
no
diminution
of
any
thing
within
the
realme
,
as
might
appeare
as
well
by
the
victories
of
that
good
king
Edward
,
being
the
hope
of
Europe
,
as
his
bettering
of
the
gold
,
and
siluer
coines
.
But
how
great
her
Maiesties
charges
grew
by
a
new
prouision
of
all
thing
immediatly
after
her
royall
entrie
,
no
man
is
ignorant
,
no
not
strangers
:
the
dukes
Memorancie
and
Cassimer
greatly
praising
,
vpon
their
view
only
of
her
store
in
the
Tower
,
her
carefull
and
most
wise
prouidence
;
which
they
would
not
haue
done
had
they
knowen
any
part
thereof
not
to
haue
bene
of
her
Maiesties
cost
.
Now
the
question
is
to
be
asked
of
these
temperat
persons
(
our
warlike
furniture
being
at
that
time
their
king
maried
with
her
Maiesties
sister
Mary
comparable
with
any
of
the
greatest
Princes
of
the
west
part
)
who
eloigned
the
same
?
I
must
answere
for
them
(
they
being
occupied
in
hastening
the
fift
monarchie
)
euen
they
who
haue
vowed
to
make
desolate
our
country
,
and
to
murder
a
most
sacred
and
Christian
Princesse
.
The
seisure
of
armour
,
treasure
and
munition
with
the
rasure
of
places
defensiue
vpon
conditions
of
peace
;
is
an
old
stratageme
,
and
vsed
by
the
Turke
in
the
times
of
his
frendship
with
them
,
whom
he
mindeth
to
subdue
:
which
if
any
would
excuse
in
the
Spaniard
as
a
matter
impossible
to
his
iustice
:
how
aunswere
they
his
vsurpation
of
the
title
of
this
realme
,
often
reproued
by
Maister
Man
,
her
Maiesties
liger
in
Spaine
,
to
the
great
hazard
of
his
person
,
as
I
heard
him
and
some
of
his
traine
affirme
,
before
the
same
was
laid
a
part
.
But
they
may
replie
,
that
hee
being
permitted
during
his
abode
in
this
kingdome
by
generall
assent
to
vse
that
title
,
might
without
her
Maiesties
preiudice
continue
the
same
.
But
there
we
may
,
as
the
prouerbe
is
,
lay
a
straw
:
for
whatsoeuer
is
allowed
by
any
authoritie
,
may
be
disanulled
by
the
same
:
againe
,
the
causes
of
any
thing
ceassing
,
the
effectes
of
the
same
proceede
no
further
:
whereby
may
be
concluded
,
that
not
onely
the
Princes
and
people
of
this
kingdome
,
by
whose
fauors
hee
had
that
title
,
haue
power
to
retract
the
same
;
but
also
that
his
wife
dying
without
issue
by
him
,
could
leaue
Phillip
no
greater
interest
then
she
had
;
which
was
but
for
terme
of
her
naturall
life
.
These
matters
,
say
they
(
for
that
they
haue
made
their
will
a
law
)
require
neither
aunswere
nor
excuse
:
no
more
doth
their
bost
made
seuen
yeares
past
in
the
duke
of
Parmas
Camp
before
men
of
account
(
who
by
the
great
prudence
of
that
honorable
counseller
Sir
Francis
Walsingham
now
dead
,
were
appointed
for
speciall
seruice
to
that
place
)
that
they
would
leaue
their
trade
to
Peru
,
our
countrie
being
a
shorter
cut
,
from
whence
they
might
drawe
equall
treasure
.
At
this
time
there
was
no
speache
of
religion
,
neither
of
her
Maiesties
alliance
with
the
Netherlanders
,
or
of
Sir
Francis
Drake
(
who
as
then
had
not
bene
in
the
Indies
)
but
of
their
auarice
,
crueltie
,
and
ambition
;
the
effectes
of
which
,
preceded
any
acte
done
by
her
Maiestie
,
whose
mildnesse
of
neighbourhood
and
contentment
of
state
,
haue
exceeded
the
temperance
of
all
Princes
of
this
or
anie
other
age
.
Now
gentlemen
,
said
I
,
consider
of
the
Spanish
proceedings
,
which
were
broched
in
the
time
of
papacie
,
and
our
greatest
deuotion
to
Philip
and
his
nation
:
before
either
the
reestablishment
of
the
reformed
religion
,
or
of
her
Maiesties
receiuing
the
Netherlanders
,
for
their
ancient
alliance
with
her
kingdome
,
into
her
sauegard
,
or
anie
enterprise
made
into
the
Indies
by
her
authoritie
.
Weigh
moreouer
the
state
and
qualitie
of
iustice
,
which
,
whether
she
gouerneth
betwene
nations
,
or
a
people
of
one
countrey
,
neuer
imposeth
anie
law
,
or
punisheth
by
the
same
,
till
offences
be
committed
:
Iudge
also
whether
his
enterprises
do
stand
with
his
pretence
of
pietie
,
for
if
he
had
bene
(
as
he
feigneth
)
deuoured
with
the
zeale
of
his
religion
,
were
there
not
great
occasions
giuen
him
in
the
time
of
the
French
king
Charles
the
ninth
his
brother
in
law
and
neighbour
,
to
shew
some
effects
of
his
Catholike
title
,
Cassimer
then
departing
France
twise
,
vpon
the
onely
pay
of
the
French
king
?
Nay
hath
he
not
since
then
maintained
at
his
charge
the
Dukes
of
GVISE
and
MAINE
against
his
other
brother
in
law
Henrie
the
third
,
a
deuout
Romanist
,
and
chiefe
ringleader
at
the
great
murder
in
Paris
?
yea
&
which
more
is
,
hath
he
not
consented
to
the
murder
of
the
said
Henrie
(
I
will
not
say
procured
it
)
contrarie
to
the
dignity
of
all
kings
?
did
he
after
(
according
to
the
iustice
&
custome
of
good
princes
)
either
reproue
the
Duke
du
Maine
or
his
complices
for
that
fact
?
or
hath
he
not
since
then
aided
the
said
Duke
rather
more
openly
then
before
,
not
only
with
treasure
,
but
also
with
souldiers
sent
from
the
duke
of
Parma
?
To
conclude
,
hath
not
his
policie
bene
by
nourishing
factions
in
that
and
our
realme
,
to
be
made
absolute
in
the
west
continent
of
Europe
&
Ilands
adiacent
?
and
hath
he
not
for
that
purpose
renewed
his
league
with
the
Turke
,
who
slily
smiling
at
his
madnesse
,
panteth
to
deuour
him
and
the
rest
of
Christendome
by
that
meane
?
No
man
can
denie
it
,
time
hath
proued
it
,
&
the
bloud
of
thousands
crieth
against
it
.
A
reformation
then
of
Religion
,
or
our
ill
neighbourhood
to
him
,
are
no
causes
of
his
motions
(
he
hauing
plotted
our
ruine
,
and
rasure
of
his
Catholike
alie
,
in
his
neerest
friendship
with
both
)
but
the
auarice
,
crueltie
,
and
pride
of
his
people
,
which
neither
the
penurie
of
Spaine
can
satisfie
,
or
the
Pyrene
hilles
,
or
wide
Ocean
can
limit
.
Beleeue
me
EPOENETVS
(
said
PHILEMON
)
a
gentleman
of
good
qualitie
tolde
me
,
that
he
heard
in
Rome
that
the
cardinall
named
Buono
compagno
(
called
since
then
,
Pope
Gregorie
)
being
demanded
at
his
returne
from
Spain
,
how
he
liked
that
kingdome
:
answered
,
there
were
plaines
of
luxurie
,
vales
of
miserie
,
and
hilles
of
pride
.
To
which
I
answered
,
I
am
,
PHILEMON
,
easily
perswaded
to
beleeue
you
,
Monsieur
la
Nouë
a
man
so
wel
qualified
that
few
come
neere
him
in
all
the
vertues
,
&
not
one
goeth
beyond
him
in
anie
,
confirming
some
part
thereof
.
This
noble
gentleman
composing
during
his
captiuitie
amongst
the
Spaniards
diuerse
discourses
both
politike
and
martiall
,
Then
PHILEMON
:
I
would
EPOENETVS
that
all
men
were
(
for
the
common
quiet
)
of
your
mind
:
nothing
breeding
a
greater
resolution
in
this
sort
,
then
to
thinke
they
are
esteemed
sacred
of
them
,
by
whose
promises
they
are
corrupted
:
as
though
they
were
of
the
deepest
trust
,
which
haue
offended
in
the
highest
degree
of
trechery
They
are
not
PHILEMON
,
said
I
,
tyrants
(
although
they
make
no
semblant
thereof
)
euer
fearing
those
by
whom
they
are
aduanced
:
Philip
of
Macedonia
allowing
for
his
profite
those
that
would
betray
their
countrey
,
but
not
those
that
had
betrayed
it
.
And
for
that
their
greedinesse
is
seldome
satisfied
,
whose
countrey
contenteth
them
not
,
it
may
be
still
doubted
(
no
place
being
esteemed
so
deare
as
the
place
of
birth
and
education
)
that
their
lightnesse
can
not
be
stayed
by
change
;
but
rather
impaired
by
loosing
their
first
faith
:
the
iust
recompence
of
which
,
amongst
those
that
are
prudent
,
is
chastisement
.
Vortiger
could
well
band
with
this
racket
,
Selim
the
great
Turke
had
also
great
skill
at
this
game
;
The
like
Caesar
Borgia
the
Spaniard
practised
with
Messire
Remiro
Dorco
,
whom
he
only
vsed
in
all
murders
,
treasons
,
and
oppressions
of
the
people
.
If
this
were
the
bountie
of
tyrants
to
traitors
,
good
kings
I
hope
will
not
be
behind
them
in
iust
punishments
,
whom
they
haue
exceeded
in
due
mainteining
iustice
:
as
the
testimonies
of
Dauid
that
caused
the
Amalec
to
dy
that
bosted
to
haue
slaine
Saul
;
These
are
,
said
PHILEMON
,
presidents
of
rare
iustice
,
&
most
excellent
to
be
followed
of
them
that
care
to
maintaine
the
high
reputation
of
their
calling
:
for
according
to
the
opinion
of
ciuilians
,
who
affirme
,
that
their
lawes
permit
a
gentleman
to
make
any
iniury
done
to
one
of
his
order
,
no
lesse
his
,
then
if
it
were
profered
him selfe
:
which
interest
and
similitude
of
dignitie
(
were
it
duly
regarded
by
persons
of
equalitie
)
would
greatly
abate
the
bold
offers
of
these
disturbers
of
gouernement
:
as
well
for
that
they
ariue
not
amisse
either
into
the
handes
of
bad
,
or
good
Princes
in
regard
of
chastisement
,
as
that
wise
kings
may
suspect
,
that
as
they
many
times
rise
,
they
may
also
fall
by
factious
followers
:
to
whom
(
in
respect
of
their
countries
health
)
to
neglect
money
,
Then
I.
It
is
most
true
,
that
where
this
moath
of
faction
entereth
,
she
eateth
through
the
garmentes
of
peace
,
whether
of
the
long
or
short
robe
.
Of
this
opinion
was
that
noble
gentleman
Monsieur
du
Lant
,
who
(
being
sent
by
the
French
king
Lewes
the
12.
into
Italie
to
restore
diuers
castels
to
the
Florentins
,
taken
from
them
by
the
Duke
Valentino
,
and
the
Vitelli
in
the
vales
of
Treuere
and
Chiana
;
and
finding
there
many
which
bosted
to
be
of
the
faction
of
one
Marzoco
)
greatly
blamed
them
;
alledging
that
if
the
subiectes
of
Fraunce
should
name
them selues
partakers
with
the
king
his
Maister
(
though
spoken
with
dutie
)
they
should
be
chastised
,
as
such
which
suppose
a
contrarie
partie
in
that
realme
against
the
king
:
an
admonition
worthie
to
be
written
with
letters
of
gold
in
publicke
places
,
as
monuments
of
his
singular
prudence
.
For
if
the
vnitie
of
elements
,
humors
,
or
qualities
mainteineth
the
life
either
of
bodies
naturall
,
or
politicke
,
it
cannot
be
,
but
a
disagreement
doth
breed
a
resolution
,
spasme
,
or
some
other
most
daungerous
infirmitie
in
both
.
Examples
of
antiquitie
neede
not
,
we
hauing
too
many
that
be
moderne
of
our
neare
neighbours
:
amongst
which
these
tokens
of
murther
,
IE
SVIS
ROYAL
,
and
,
IE
SVIS
GVISIAN
,
haue
wofully
concluded
their
tragedie
.
For
conclusion
,
to
mainteine
that
the
motions
of
Spaine
issue
from
our
actions
,
is
to
make
accent
vpon
these
wordes
,
I
fauour
the
Spaniard
;
which
are
no
lesse
to
be
forborne
than
these
,
I
take
part
with
Marzoco
,
or
I
am
a
Guisian
;
all
foure
by
implication
being
of
one
nature
.
In
regard
whereof
,
&
that
all
subiects
are
to
esteeme
their
naturall
Prince
,
as
the
Generall
of
God
:
I
would
that
those
who
haue
not
obserued
the
course
of
times
,
should
(
with
the
ancient
French
which
esteemed
all
things
lawful
their
kings
did
in
fauor
of
the
people
)
humbly
reuerence
their
Princes
proceedings
,
as
his
,
who
standing
for
the
publike
benefite
of
his
countrey
,
is
alwayes
blamelesse
,
though
his
pretenses
(
to
the
ignorant
multitude
)
haue
some
shew
of
iniustice
.
For
how
may
he
that
leadeth
a
priuate
life
,
and
neuer
handled
publicke
affaires
,
be
able
to
reason
in
things
meete
,
lawfull
,
or
necessarie
for
gouernement
?
the
true
knowledge
of
which
,
drawing
neere
the
diuine
prouidence
,
is
not
to
be
disputed
in
the
schooles
of
Thersites
,
vnlesse
there
be
some
Vlysses
to
moderate
.
This
hath
bene
touched
by
many
,
but
very
aptly
by
the
expert
and
valiant
knight
Sir
Roger
Williams
,
who
hauing
serued
long
time
in
their
warres
,
hath
with
quicke
colours
described
their
crueltie
towardes
their
faithfull
seruitours
not
being
of
their
nation
.
With
these
therefore
that
keepe
no
mediocritie
,
it
is
most
daungerous
in
matter
of
state
,
to
vse
a
way
consisting
in
a
meane
;
the
same
being
neither
able
to
procure
frendes
or
to
propell
a
weake
or
feble
enemie
.
Which
speaches
ended
,
PHILEMON
,
in
the
behalfe
of
the
rest
,
which
seemed
by
their
silence
desirous
to
depart
;
answered
;
well
EPOENETVS
,
the
time
rather
requiring
to
consider
what
we
ought
to
doe
,
then
what
we
haue
done
;
let
both
our
nations
,
to
expresse
the
good
affections
of
honest
men
,
haue
in
their
standerds
,
guidons
and
ensignes
,
the
deuise
of
a
souldiours
match
burning
,
with
these
wordes
about
the
wreath
,
al
fine
loial
:
which
spoken
,
hee
and
the
company
departed
with
countenances
promising
the
accomplishment
and
performance
of
great
matters
.
