THE
LIFE
&
REIGN
OF
JAMES
THE
FIRST
KING
OF
Great
Britain
.
THE
various
hand
of
Time
began
now
to
sheath
the
Sword
of
War
,
An.
Reg.
1.
that
had
been
long
disputing
the
Controversie
,
An.
Christi
1603
which
Religion
and
Policy
(
that
Princes
mix
together
)
had
for
many
years
so
fiercely
maintained
.
The
wearing
out
of
that
old
,
but
glorious
,
and
most
happy
Piece
of
Soveraignty
,
the
late
Queen
,
bating
the
Spanish
Violence
,
and
ending
with
the
Irish-Rebellion
,
and
submission
of
Tirone
,
as
if
the
old
Genius
of
Iron-handed-War
were
departed
,
and
a
New
one
Crowned
with
a
Palm
of
Peace
,
had
taken
possession
of
the
English
Nation
;
Iames
the
sixth
,
King
of
Scotland
,
was
proclaimed
King
of
England
.
For
though
Princes
that
find
here
a
Mortal
Felicity
,
love
not
the
noise
of
a
Successor
in
their
life-time
,
yet
they
are
willing
(
for
the
Peace
of
their
people
)
to
have
One
,
when
they
can
hear
no
more
of
it
.
That
which
the
Queen
could
not
indure
from
others
,
She
was
well
pleased
to
express
her self
,
and
bequeath
in
her
last
Will
,
as
a
Legacy
to
this
,
then
Happy
Nation
.
He
was
thirty
six
years
of
Age
when
he
came
to
the
Crown
.
How
dangerous
the
passage
had
been
from
his
very
Infancy
to
his
Middle
Age
,
is
not
only
written
in
many
Histories
,
but
the
untamed
and
untractable
Spirits
of
most
of
that
Nation
,
are
a
sufficient
Witness
and
Record
.
The
wise
Queen
found
many
petty
Titles
,
but
none
of
that
Power
;
any
other
Hand
that
should
have
reacht
for
the
Crown
,
might
a
caught
a
Cloud
of
Confusion
;
and
those
Supporters
,
and
Props
,
that
held
up
her
Greatness
(
loth
to
submit
to
Equals
)
made
Scaffolds
to
his
Triumphs
.
In
the
Wane
,
or
last
Quarter
of
the
late
Queen
,
the
Court
Motions
tended
(
by
an
Oblique
Aspect
)
towards
this
Northern
Star
,
and
some
of
her
great
Council
in
her
Presence
,
would
glance
at
the
King
of
Scots
as
her
Successor
,
which
would
make
her
break
into
Passion
,
saying
,
Was
this
imputed
to
Essex
as
a
Crime
,
and
is
it
less
in
you
?
Yea
,
Cecil
himself
,
held
his
Correspondencies
,
which
he
was
once
like
to
be
trapt
in
.
For
the
Queen
taking
the
Air
upon
Black-Heath
by
Greenwich
,
a
Post
summoned
her
to
enquire
from
what
Quarter
his
business
came
,
and
hearing
from
Scotland
,
She
staid
her
Coach
to
receive
the
Pacquet
;
but
the
Secretary
,
Sir
Robert
Cecil
,
(
being
in
the
Coach
with
Her
)
fearful
,
that
some
of
his
secret
Conveyances
might
be
discovered
,
having
an
active
Wit
,
calls
for
a
knife
suddainly
to
open
it
,
lest
put offs
,
and
delays
,
might
beget
Suspition
,
and
when
he
came
to
cut
it
,
he
told
the
Queen
,
it
looked
,
and
smelt
ill-favouredly
,
coming
out
of
many
nasty
Budgets
,
and
was
fit
to
be
opened
,
and
aired
before
She
saw
it
;
which
reason
meeting
with
her
disaffection
to
ill
Scents
,
hindred
her
smelling
out
his
underhand
Contrivances
.
Secretary
Cecil
Proclaimed
King
Iames.
But
now
he
may
do
it
openly
,
for
he
was
the
first
that
publickly
read
,
and
proclaimed
the
late
Queens
Will
;
Posts
are
sent
in
hast
,
yet
in
so
calm
and
quiet
a
manner
,
as
if
the
loss
of
so
pretious
a
Mistriss
had
stupified
the
people
.
And
now
the
Great-ones
strive
who
shall
be
most
Obsequious
,
and
Court
their
Happy
Hopes
.
That
Party
that
had
been
Opposite
to
the
late
Earl
of
Essex
(
whose
death
as
some
thought
shortned
the
Queens
life
)
strove
to
ingratiate
themselves
,
by
suppressing
them
,
that
had
any
Relation
to
him
,
assuring
the
King
(
that
always
counted
him
his
Martyr
)
that
he
aimed
at
the
Crown
himself
,
and
Princes
apt
to
be
jealous
soon
take
such
impressions
.
And
now
I
have
stirr'd
the
Ashes
of
great
Essex
,
I
must
revive
his
memory
with
this
short
Character
;
for
Reports
flying
upon
the
Airy
wing
of
the
Times
,
have
variously
exalted
,
or
depressed
him
,
as
the
Serene
for
him
,
or
the
cloudy
fancy
against
him
,
waved
up
and
down
.
He
had
a
Gallant
and
Noble
Spirit
,
full
of
Vrbanity
and
innate
Courtesie
,
which
too
much
took
the
Popular
Eye
,
and
being
a
great
ingrosser
of
Fame
,
it
procured
him
many
Enemies
,
which
made
his
Spirit
boil
into
passion
,
and
that
was
more
suitable
to
his
Enemies
Designs
than
his
own
,
for
they
lighted
their
candle
by
his
fire
,
and
this
heat
being
blown
by
some
fiery
Spirits
about
him
,
gave
to
the
goodness
of
his
Nature
,
a
tincture
of
Revenge
,
which
his
Enemies
made
reflect
upon
the
Queen
,

that
the
Coal
he
strove
to
bring
to
burn
his
Enemies
Nests
,
kindled
his
own
Funeral
Pile
.
But
our
King
coming
through
the
North
,
(
Banquetting
and
Feasting
by
the
way
)
the
applause
of
the
people
in
so
obsequious
and
submissive
a
manner
(
still
admiring
Change
)
was
checkt
by
an
honest
plain
Scotsman
(
unused
to
hear
such
humble
Acclamations
)
with
a
Prophetical
expression
;
This
people
will
spoil
a
gud
King
.
The
King
as
unused
,
so
tired
with
Multitudes
,
especially
in
his
Hunting
(
which
he
did
as
he
went
)
caused
an
inhibition
to
be
published
,
to
restrain
the
people
from
hunting
him
.
Happily
being
fearful
of
so
great
a
Concourse
,
as
this
Novelty
produced
,
the
old
Hatred
betwixt
the
Borderers
not
yet
forgotten
,
might
make
him
apprehend
it
to
be
of
a
greater
extent
:
though
it
was
generally
imputed
to
a
desire
of
enjoying
his
Recreations
without
interruption
.
At
Theobalds
,
The
King
comes
to
Theobalds
.
Secretary
Cecil's
House
,
the
Lord
Chancellor
Egerton
,
the
Lord
Buckhurst
Treasurer
,
the
Earl
of
Notingham
Admiral
,
and
others
of
the
Council
to
the
deceased
Queen
,
met
him
;
and
they
with
him
found
the
Duke
of
Lenox
,
the
Earl
of
Marr
,
the
Lord
Hume
,
and
the
Lord
Kinloss
.
These
with
others
were
made
of
his
Privy-Council
.
The
Bishops
forgot
not
to
strengthen
themselves
,
and
their
Party
,
against
their
opposites
,
the
Non-Conformists
,
who
had
gotten
new
courage
upon
their
hopes
of
the
Kings
compliance
with
them
,
and
the
King
to
please
both
sides
,
went
in
a
smooth
way
betwixt
them
,
at
first
,
not
leaving
out
the
third
Party
,
the
Popish
,
the
most
dangerous
,
whom
he
closed
with
also
,
by
entertaining
into
his
Councils
the
Lord
Thomas
Howard
,
and
the
Lord
Henry
Howard
,
the
one
Son
,
the
other
Brother
to
the
late
Duke
of
Norfolk
,
who
would
have
been
his
Father
,
but
became
a
Sufferer
for
his
Mother
:
The
one
a
plain-hearted
man
,
the
other
of
a
subtile
and
fine
Wit
,
of
great
Reading
and
Knowledg
,
excellent
for
outward
Courtship
,
famous
for
secret
Insinuation
,
and
cunning
Flattery
;
the
first
a
suspected
,
(
though
it
was
otherwise
)
the
last
a
known
Papist
,
bred
up
so
from
his
Infancy
,
yet
then
converted
(
as
he
pretended
)
by
the
King
,
being
the
closest
way
to
work
his
own
ends
.
On
these
he
heaped
Honours
,
making
the
Son
Earl
of
Suffolk
,
and
the
Brother
Earl
of
Northampton
.
And
this
Gentleness
of
the
King
to
the
Popish
party
,
was
so
pleasant
to
them
,
that
they
suckt
in
the
sweet
hopes
of
alteration
in
Religion
,
and
drunk
so
deep
thereof
,
that
they
were
almost
intoxicated
.
Now
every
man
that
had
but
a
Spark
of
Hope
,
Changes
beget
hopes
.
struck
fire
to
light
himself
in
the
way
to
Advancement
,
though
it
were
to
the
Consumption
both
of
his
Estate
and
Being
.
The
Court
being
a
kind
of
Lottery
,
where
men
that
venture
much
may
draw
a
Blank
,
and
such
as
have
little
may
get
the
Prize
.
Those
whose
Hopes
were
almost
quenched
,
like
Water
cast
upon
Lime
,
burn
inward
till
it
breaks
out
into
Flame
;
so
hard
it
is
for
uncomposed
Spirits
(
missing
their
aims
)
to
settle
upon
the
Basis
of
solid
Reason
.
The
Earl
of
Southampton
,
covered
long
with
the
Ashes
of
great
Essex
his
Ruins
,
was
sent
for
from
the
Tower
,
and
the
King
lookt
upon
him
with
a
smiling
countenance
,
though
displeasing
happily
to
the
new
Baron
of
Essingden
,
Sir
Robert
Cecil
;
yet
it
was
much
more
to
the
Lords
,
Cobham
and
Grey
,
and
Sir
Walter
Rawleigh
,
who
were
forbidden
their
attendance
.
This
damp
upon
them
,
being
Spirits
full
of
acrimony
,
made
them
break
into
Murmur
,
A
Conspiracy
against
the
King
.
then
into
Conspiracy
,
associating
themselves
with
two
Romish
Priests
(
men
that
could
not
live
upon
lingring
Hopes
)
and
other
discontented
persons
,
which
every
Change
produces
.
The
ground
of
the
Design
was
to
set
up
the
Lady
Arabella
(
a
Branch
sprung
from
the
same
Stem
by
another
Line
)
and
to
alter
Religion
and
Government
;
disposing
already
to
themselves
the
principal
places
of
Honour
and
Profit
.
The
Lord
Grey
should
get
leave
to
transport
two
thousand
men
into
Holland
,
with
whom
he
should
seise
upon
the
King
and
Prince
;
Sir
Walter
Rawleigh
was
to
treat
with
Count
Arembergh
for
procuring
of
Moneys
,
and
Cobham
to
go
to
the
Arch-Duke
and
the
King
of
Spain
,
to
perswade
their
Assistance
.
This
Embrion
proved
abortive
,
and
they
brought
their
Plea
to
excuse
their
attempting
it
,
as
compleat
a
One
;
That
the
King
was
not
yet
crowned
.
The
Arraignment
was
at
Winchester
,
where
strong
proofs
meeting
weak
denyals
,
they
with
others
were
found
guilty
of
High
Treason
.
George
Brook
,
the
Lord
Cobham's
Brother
,
and
the
two
Priests
suffered
for
it
,
the
rest
found
Mercy
;
the
King
being
loth
to
soil
the
first
steps
to
his
Crown
with
more
blood
.
But
their
Pardon
carried
them
to
the
Tower
,
where
the
Lord
Grey
some
years
after
dyed
,
and
in
his
Death
extinguished
his
Family
.
The
Lord
Cobham
,
Sir
Griffin
Markham
,
and
others
,
discharged
of
imprisonment
,
lived
miserable
and
poor
,
Cobham
at
home
,
and
the
rest
abroad
.
And
Rawleigh
while
he
was
a
Prisoner
,
having
the
Idea
of
the
World
in
his
contemplation
,
brought
it
to
some
perfection
,
in
his
excellent
and
incomparable
History
,
but
when
Liberty
turned
it
to
Action
,
it
taught
him
to
roam
,
so
,
as
the
event
proved
fatal
to
him
.
A
censure
upon
it
.
This
Conspiracy
put
on
such
a
face
,
that
few
or
none
could
discover
,
or
know
what
to
make
of
it
:
That
the
muddy
waters
were
stirr'd
,
was
apparent
,
but
it
was
with
such
a
mixture
,
that
little
could
be
visible
in
it
.
The
Lord
Grey
,
Cobham
,
and
Sir
Walter
Rawleigh
were
Protestants
,
why
should
they
strive
to
alter
Religion
,
though
the
Priests
,
Markham
,
Bainham
,
and
others
might
?
But
it
seems
they
joyned
together
in
a
Politick
way
,
every
one
intending
his
own
ends
;
Discontent
being
the
Ground-work
,
upon
which
they
built
this
slight
Superstructure
,
A
great
mischiefe
intended
to
the
Kings
Majestie
at
his
first
entrance
into
the
Kingdome
of
England
before
his
Coronation
;
Watson
&
Clark
Priests
administring
Oaths
of
secresie
and
applanding
the
project
.
It
came
to
nothing
by
Gods
mercy
.
The
Kings
Majesties
clemency
towards
the
Conspiratours
after
judgment
past
upon
them
.
No
treason
in
England
attempted
but
had
a
Romish
Priest
in
the
practise
.
Watson
Seducing
Noblemen
that
being
hudled
together
,
could
not
stand
long
.
Rawleigh's
greatest
Accuser
was
a
Letter
of
Cobhams
,
which
some
say
after
he
denyed
to
be
his
hand
.
Some
of
the
Conspirators
(
it
may
be
)
desired
to
seem
formidable
,
venting
their
Anger
so
for
being
slighted
;
others
strove
to
make
themselves
so
,
that
they
might
have
the
glory
of
enlarging
the
Roman
Power
,
and
they
joyned
together
,
thinking
their
single
strength
would
not
prevail
.
In
this
Cloud
looking
for
Iuno
,
they
begot
a
Monster
,
which
having
neither
head
nor
foot
,
some
part
lived
,
the
other
dyed
.
While
these
were
provoked
with
Neglects
,
others
were
incouraged
with
Favours
:
Many
of
the
Gentry
that
came
out
of
Scotland
,
with
the
King
,
were
advanced
to
Honours
,
as
well
as
those
he
found
here
,
to
shew
the
Northern
soyl
as
fruitful
that
way
as
the
Southern
;
But
Knights
swarmed
in
every
corner
;
the
Sword
ranged
about
,
and
men
bowed
in
obedience
to
it
,
more
in
Peace
than
in
War
;
this
Airy
Title
blew
up
many
a
fair
Estate
.
The
Scots
naturally
,
by
long
converse
,
affecting
the
French
Vanity
,
drew
on
a
Garb
of
Gallantry
(
meeting
with
a
plentiful
soyl
,
and
an
open-handed
Prince
)
The
English
,
excellent
for
imitation
,
loth
to
be
exceeded
in
their
own
Country
,
maintained
their
follies
at
their
own
charge
.
All
this
came
accompanied
with
a
great
Plague
,
which
hapned
this
year
in
London
,
whereof
above
thirty
thousand
dyed
;
Yet
who
will
not
venture
for
a
Crown
?
For
in
the
heat
of
it
,
on
the
five
and
twentieth
of
Iuly
,
The
King
and
Queen
Crowned
.
being
the
day
dedicated
to
Saint
Iames
,
the
King
,
with
his
Wife
Queen
Anne
,
were
both
crowned
at
Westminster
,
fulfilling
that
old
Prophecy
,
or
rather
Fancy
,
current
among
the
Scots
(
as
they
report
)
before
Edward
the
first
brought
the
Royal
Chair
out
of
Scotland
,
with
the
Stone
in
it
,
and
placed
it
at
Westminster
to
Crown
our
Kings
in
.
Which
Stone
some
old
Saws
deliver
to
be
the
same
that
Iacob
rested
his
head
on
.
Ni

through

of
these
Prophetical
Fancies
,
experience
shews
:
For
't
is
true
,
if
the
Scots
came
so
near
the
Throne
,
as
to
enjoy
the
Stone
,
or
Chair
where
the
English
Kings
are
Inaugurated
,
they
may
hold
the
Crown
.
But
being
only
grounded
upon
Conjecture
,
these
Conceits
are
commonly
made
up
before
they
are
half
moulded
,
or
like
Abortives
,
are
shaped
after
they
are
born
.
When
these
Ceremonies
were
past
,
the
King
retired
from
this
croud
of
Infection
,
gave
some
admission
to
Ambassadors
,
that
from
all
the
neighbouring
Princes
and
States
came
to
congratulate
his
happy
Inauguration
:
For
besides
the
ordinary
Ceremony
among
Princes
,
their
Reason
might
tell
them
,
that
if
his
Predecessors
were
able
to
graple
with
the
growing
Monarchy
of
him
that
coveted
to
be
Vniversal
,
and
to
assist
and
relieve
her
Neighbours
and
Confederates
from
his
oppression
;
He
would
be
much
more
formidable
,
bringing
with
him
,
if
nothing
else
,
Bodies
of
men
,
Warlike
and
industrious
,
hardned
with
cold
and
labour
,
and
active
in
the
difficultest
attempts
(
however
of
late
,
by
what
Divine
Judgment
I
know
not
,
utterly
disheartned
)
to
be
Helpers
,
who
were
formerly
Hinderers
to
all
the
English
Expeditions
;
so
that
in
him
they
courted
their
own
Conveniences
:
For
certainly
,
if
ever
the
English
Monarchy
were
in
its
true
Glory
and
Greatness
,
it
was
by
this
Union
.
But
there
is
a
Period
set
to
all
Empires
.
The
Prince
,
Prince
Henry
made
Knight
of
the
Garter
.
a
little
before
this
,
was
installed
Knight
of
the
Garter
,
the
Earl
of
Southampton
,
and
the
young
Earl
of
Essex
,
were
restored
to
the
right
of
Blood
and
Inheritance
;
and
Honours
were
conferred
so
thick
,
as
if
the
King
intended
a
new
kind
of
Conquest
,
by
a
proceeding
,
that
tended
to
their
,
and
his
own
Ruin
:
For
,
to
subdue
the
greatness
of
the
Nobility
(
who
formerly
could
sweep
such
a
Party
of
People
to
them
,
with
their
long
trains
and
dependencies
,
that
they
were
able
to
graple
with
Kings
)
He
by
a
multiplicity
of
them
made
them
cheap
and
invalid
in
the
Vulgar
opinion
;
For
nothing
is
more
destructive
to
Monarchy
,
than
lessening
the
Nobility
;
upon
their
decline
the
Commons
rise
,
and
Anarchy
increases
.

The
RIght
honourable
CHARLES
BLVNT
Earle
of
Deuon
Baron
Mountioy
and
Knight
of
the
Garter
.
As
the
Papist
was
different
from
the
Protestant
Religion
on
one
side
,
Reformation
in
the
Church
sought
for
.
so
was
the
Puritan
(
as
they
then
called
pious
and
good
men
)
on
the
other
;
both
which
were
active
to
attain
their
own
ends
;
and
the
King
had
the
command
of
himself
,
not
bitterly
to
oppose
,
but
gently
to
sweeten
their
hopes
for
His
:
thinking
himself
unsecure
betwixt
them
.
The
latter
were
now
solicitous
for
a
more
clear
Reformation
.
This
the
Bishops
opposed
,
as
trenching
too
much
upon
them
,
and
the
King
listen'd
to
(
having
experience
of
it
in
Scotland
)
how
much
it
had
incroached
upon
Him
:
For
He
thought
their
dissenting
from
the
established
Government
of
the
Church
,
was
but
to
get
that
Power
into
a
great
many
mens
hands
,
which
was
now
but
in
one
,
and
that
one
had
dependance
upon
him
,
with
whom
He
might
better
grapple
.
The
Prelates
distilling
this
Maxim
into
the
King
,
No
Bishop
,
no
Monarch
;
so
strengthning
the
Miter
by
the
same
Power
that
upholds
the
Crown
:
Yet
to
satisfie
the
importunity
,
a
Conference
is
appointed
at
Hampton-Court
,
Conference
at
Hampton
Court
.
where
the
Bishops
Opponents
,
Doctor
Reynolds
,
Doctor
Sparks
,
Mr.
Knewstubs
,
and
Mr.
Chadderton
,
men
eminent
in
Learning
and
Piety
,
in
themselves
,
as
well
as
in
the
opinion
of
the
people
,
did
desire
in
the
name
of
the
rest
of
their
party
,
That
the
Doctrine
of
the
Church
might
be
preserved
in
Purity
;
That
good
and
faithful
Pastors
might
be
planted
in
all
Churches
;
That
Church-Government
might
be
sincerely
administred
;
That
the
Book
of
Common-Prayer
might
be
fitted
to
more
increase
of
Godliness
.
Out
of
some
of
these
Particulars
,
they
insisted
upon
the
Bishops
power
of
Confirmation
,
which
they
would
have
every
Minister
capable
of
in
his
own
Parish
.
They
disputed
against
the
Cross
in
Baptism
,
the
Ring
in
Marriage
,
the
Surplice
,
the
Oath
ex
officio
,
and
other
things
that
stuck
with
them
,
which
they
hoped
to
get
all
purged
away
,
because
the
King
was
of
a
Northern
constitution
,
where
no
such
things
were
practised
,
not
yet
having
felt
the
Kings
pulse
,
whom
the
Southern
Air
of
the
Bishops
breaths
had
so
wrought
upon
,
that
He
himself
answers
most
of
their
Demands
:
Sometimes
gently
,
applying
Lenitives
,
where
he
found
Ingenuity
(
for
he
was
Learned
and
Eloquent
)
other
times
Corrosives
,
telling
them
these
Oppositions
proceeded
more
from
stubborness
in
Opinion
,
than
tenderness
of
Conscience
;
and
so
betwixt
his
Arguments
,
and
Kingly
Authority
,
menaced
them
to
a
Conformity
,
which
proved
a
way
of
Silencing
them
for
the
present
(
and
some
of
them
were
content
to
acquiesce
for
the
future
)
and
the
King
managed
this
Discourse
with
such
power
(
which
they
expected
not
from
him
,
and
therefore
more
danted
at
)
That
Whitgift
Arch.
Bishop
of
Canterbury
(
though
a
holy
,
grave
,
and
pious
man
)
highly
pleased
with
it
,
with
a
sugred
bait
(
which
Princes
are
apt
enough
to
swallow
)
said
,
He
was
verily
perswaded
,
Arch-Bishop
Whitgift
dies
.
that
the
King
spake
by
the
Spirit
of
God
.
This
Conference
was
on
the
fourteenth
of
Ianuary
,
and
this
good
man
expired
the
nine
and
twentieth
of
February
following
,
in
David's
fulness
of
days
,
leaving
a
Name
like
a
sweet
perfume
behind
him
.
And
Bancroft
,
a
sturdy
piece
,
succeeded
him
,
but
not
with
the
same
Spirit
;
for
what
Whitgift
strove
to
do
by
Sweetness
and
Gentleness
,
Bancroft
did
persevere
in
with
Rigour
and
Severity
.
Thus
the
Bishops
having
gotten
the
Victory
,
strove
to
maintain
it
,
and
though
not
on
the
suddain
,
yet
by
degrees
,
they
press
so
hard
upon
the
Non-conformists
(
whom
they
held
under
the
yoke
of
a
Law
)
that
many
of
them
are
forced
to
seek
Foreign
Refuge
.
They
prevailed
not
only
for
themselves
here
,
but
by
their
means
(
not
long
after
)
the
King
looked
back
into
Scotland
,
and
put
the
Keys
there
again
into
the
Bishops
hands
,
unlocking
the
passage
to
the
enjoyment
of
their
Temporal
Estates
,
which
swel'd
them
so
high
,
that
in
his
Sons
time
,
the
Women
of
Scotland
pulled
them
out
of
their
tottering
seats
.
On
the
other
side
,
the
late
Conspiracy
of
Cobham
and
Grey
,
had
so
chilled
the
Kings
blood
,
that
he
begins
to
take
notice
of
the
swarms
of
Priests
that
flockt
into
the
Kingdom
:
For
though
the
Conspirators
were
of
several
Religions
,
yet
in
their
correspondence
with
Foreign
Princes
,
Religion
was
the
pretence
.
For
in
every
alteration
of
Kingdoms
,
few
are
so
modest
but
they
will
throw
in
the
Hook
of
their
vain
Hopes
,
thinking
to
get
something
in
the
troubled
Stream
.
The
Iesuits
were
not
slack
(
coming
with
the
Seal
of
the
Fisher
)
in
spreading
their
Nets
;
but
a
Proclamation
broke
through
them
.
The
King
being
contented
to
let
them
alone
,
till
they
came
too
near
him
,
willing
to
comply
rather
than
exasperate
;
the
safety
of
his
own
person
,
made
him
look
to
the
safety
of
Religion
;
and
to
secure
both
,
He
found
this
the
best
Remedy
,
Declaring
,
to
all
the
World
,
the
cause
of
this
Restriction
.

Having
(
after
some
time
spent
in
setling
the
Politick
affairs
of
this
Realm
)
of
late
bestowed
no
small
labour
in
composing
certain
Differences
We
found
among
Our
Clergy
,
about
Rites
and
Ceremonies
heretofore
established
in
this
Church
of
England
,
and
reduced
the
same
to
such
an
order
and
form
,
A
Proclamation
against
Jesuits
.
as
We
doubt
not
but
every
spirit
,
that
is
led
only
with
piety
,
and
not
with
humour
,
should
be
therein
satisfied
;
It
appeared
unto
Us
in
debating
these
Matters
,
that
a
greater
Contagion
to
Our
Religion
than
could
proceed
from
these
light
differences
,
was
eminent
,
by
persons
,
common
Enemies
to
them
both
;
namely
,
the
great
numbers
of
Priests
,
both
Seminaries
and
Iesuits
,
abounding
in
this
Realm
,
as
well
of
such
as
were
here
before
Our
coming
to
the
Crown
,
as
of
such
as
have
resorted
hither
since
,
using
their
Functions
and
Professions
with
greater
liberty
than
heretofore
they
durst
have
done
;
partly
upon
a
vain
confidence
of
some
Innovation
in
matters
of
Religion
,
to
be
done
by
Us
,
which
We
never
intended
,
nor
gave
any
man
cause
to
suspect
,
and
partly
from
the
assurance
of
Our
general
Pardon
,
granted
according
to
the
Custom
of
Our
Progenitors
,
at
Our
Coronation
,
for
offences
past
in
the
days
of
the
late
Queen
,
which
Pardons
many
of
the
said
Priests
have
procured
under
Our
Great
Seal
,
and
holding
themselves
thereby
free
from
danger
of
the
Laws
,
do
with
great
audacity
exercise
all
offices
of
their
Profession
,
both
saying
Masses
,
and
perswading
Our
Subjects
from
the
Religion
established
,
reconciling
them
to
the
Church
of
Rome
,
and
by
consequence
seducing
them
from
their
Duty
and
Obedience
to
Us.
Wherefore
We
hold
Our self
obliged
both
in
Consequence
and
Wisdom
,
to
use
all
good
means
to
keep
Our
Subjects
from
being
affected
with
superstitious
Opinions
,
which
are
not
only
pernicious
to
their
own
souls
,
but
the
ready
way
to
corrupt
their
Duty
and
Allegiance
;
which
cannot
be
any
way
so
safely
performed
,
as
by
keeping
from
them
the
Instruments
of
that
infection
,
which
are
Priests
of
all
sorts
,
ordained
in
Foreign
parts
,
by
Authority
prohibited
by
the
Laws
of
the
Land
;
concerning
whom
,
therefore
We
have
thought
fit
to
publish
to
all
Our
Subjects
this
open
Declaration
of
Our
pleasure
,
&c.
Willing
and
Commanding
all
manner
of
Iesuits
,
Seminaries
,
and
other
Priests
whatsoever
,
having
Ordination
from
any
Authority
by
the
Laws
of
this
Realm
prohibited
,
to
take
notice
that
Our
pleasure
is
,
that
they
do
before
the
nineteenth
of
March
next
,
depart
forth
of
Our
Realm
and
Dominions
.
And
to
that
purpose
it
shall
be
lawful
for
all
Officers
of
Our
Ports
,
to
suffer
the
said
Priests
to
depart
into
Foreign
parts
,
between
this
and
said
nineteenth
day
of
March
:
Admonishing
and
assuring
all
such
Iesuits
,
Seminaries
,
and
Priests
,
of
what
sort
soever
,
that
if
any
of
them
after
the
said
time
shall
be
taken
within
this
Realm
,
or
any
of
Our
Dominions
,
or
departing
now
upon
this
Our
pleasure
signified
,
shall
hereafter
return
into
this
Our
Realm
,
or
any
of
Our
Dominions
again
,
they
shall
be
left
to
the
penalty
of
the
Laws
here
being
in
force
concerning
them
,
without
hope
of
any
favour
,
or
remission
from
Us
,
&c.
Which
though
,
perhaps
,
it
may
appear
to
some
a
great
severity
towards
that
sort
of
Our
Subjects
,
yet
doubt
We
not
when
it
shall
be
considered
with
indifferent
judgment
,
what
cause
hath
moved
Us
to
use
this
Providence
,
all
men
will
justifie
Us
therein
.
For
to
whom
is
it
unknown
,
into
what
peril
Our
Person
was
like
to
be
drawn
,
and
Our
Realm
unto
Confusion
,
not
many
Months
since
,
by
Conspiracy
?
First
conceived
by
persons
of
that
sort
.
Which
when
other
Princes
shall
duly
observe
,
We
assure
Our selves
they
will
no
way
conceive
,
that
this
alteration
proceedeth
from
any
change
of
disposition
,
but
out
of
providence
to
prevent
the
perils
otherwise
inevitable
;
Considering
their
absolute
submission
to
Foreign
Iurisdiction
at
their
first
taking
Orders
,
doth
leave
so
conditional
an
authority
to
Kings
over
their
Subjects
,
as
the
same
Power
by
which
they
were
made
,
may
dispense
at
pleasure
,
with
the
strictest
Bond
of
Loyalty
and
Love
,
between
a
King
his
People
Among
which
Foreign
Powers
,
though
We
acknowledg
Our self
personally
so
much
beholden
to
the
now
Bishop
of
Rome
,
for
his
kind
Offices
,
and
private
temporal
Carriages
towards
Us
,
in
many
things
,
as
We
shall
be
ever
ready
to
requite
the
same
towards
him
(
as
Bishop
of
Rome
,
in
state
and
condition
of
a
Secular
Prince
)
Yet
when
we
consider
and
observe
the
course
and
Clame
of
that
See
,
We
have
no
reason
to
imagine
,
that
Princes
of
Our
Religion
and
Profession
,
can
expect
any
assurance
long
to
continue
,
unless
it
might
be
assented
by
mediation
of
other
Christian
Princes
,
that
some
good
course
might
be
taken
(
by
a
general
Council
,
free
,
and
lawfully
called
)
to
pluck
up
those
Roots
of
Dangers
,
and
Iealousies
,
which
arise
about
Religion
,
as
well
between
Prince
and
Prince
,
as
between
them
and
their
Subjects
,
and
to
make
it
manifest
,
that
no
State
or
Potentate
,
either
hath
,
or
can
challenge
power
to
dispose
of
earthly
Kingdoms
or
Monarchies
,
or
to
dispense
with
Subjects
obedience
to
their
natural
Soveraigns
:
In
which
charitable
Action
,
there
is
no
Prince
living
that
will
be
readier
than
We
shall
be
to
concur
,
even
to
the
uttermost
of
Our
Power
,
not
only
out
of
particular
disposition
to
live
peaceably
with
all
States
and
Princes
of
Christendom
,
but
because
such
a
setled
Amity
might
(
by
an
Union
in
Religion
)
be
established
among
Christian
Princes
,
as
might
enable
Us
all
to
resist
the
common
Enemy
.
Given
at
Our
Palace
at
Westminster
the
two
and
twentieth
day
of
February
,
in
the
first
year
of
Our
Reign
,
&c.
This
did
something
allay
the
heat
and
hopes
of
the
Iesuits
,
and
their
correspondents
,
but
it
made
way
for
dark
,
and
more
secret
Contrivances
,
which
afterwards
they
put
in
practice
.
On
the
contrary
,
another
Proclamation
came
out
for
Vniformity
in
Religion
according
to
the
Law
established
,
to
reduce
those
to
Conformity
that
had
not
received
satisfaction
at
the
last
Conference
.
A
Proclamation
for
Uniformity
.
The
Bishops
thought
themselves
unsecure
,
while
so
many
opposites
(
unblameable
in
their
conversations
)
by
their
Pens
and
Preaching
gained
upon
the
people
,
striking
at
the
very
Root
of
Hierarchy
,
that
it
was
a
hard
Question
,
whether
the
Iesuits
,
whose
Principles
would
advance
their
Greatness
,
or
these
that
would
pluck
it
down
,
were
most
odious
to
them
.
And
now
Proclamations
are
the
activest
Agents
,
some
go
abroad
to
please
the
people
,
some
the
King
.
All
Monopolies
(
like
diseases
)
that
crept
in
,
when
the
good
old
Queen
had
not
strength
enough
to
keep
them
out
,
must
be
purged
away
,
and
such
protections
as
licentious
liberty
had
granted
to
hinder
proceedings
in
Law
,
must
be
taken
off
:
Saltpeter-men
,
that
will
dig
up
any
mans
house
by
authority
(
where
they
are
not
well
fee'd
)
must
be
restrained
;
and
Purveyors
,
Cart-takers
,
and
such
insolent
Officers
as
were
grievances
to
the
people
,
must
be
cryed
down
by
Proclamation
.
A
Prince
that
is
invited
,
or
comes
newly
to
a
Kingdom
,
must
have
his
Chariot
wheels
smooth
shod
.
And
yet
the
liberty
of
Hunting
must
be
forbidden
,
the
Kings
Game
preserved
,
and
a
strict
Proclamation
threatens
the
disobeyers
.
Indeed
,
take
this
Kings
Reign
from
the
beginning
to
the
end
,
and
you
shall
find
Proclamations
current
Coin
,
and
the
people
took
them
for
good
payment
a
great
while
,
till
the
multitude
of
them
lessened
their
valuation
.
The
Bishops
could
not
be
so
wary
,
A
Sermon
against
Ceremonies
.
but
some
Courtier
or
other
would
commend
a
Preacher
to
the
King
,
if
they
knew
any
of
excellent
parts
,
so
that
some
preached
before
him
that
were
averse
to
the
Bishops
ways
.
Among
the
rest
one
Mr.
Burges
,
an
excellent
Preacher
,
and
a
pious
man
,
moderately
touching
upon
the
Ceremonies
,
said
,
They
were
like
the
Roman
Senators
Glasses
,
which
were
not
worth
a
mans
life
or
livelihood
:
For
(
saith
he
)
this
Senator
invited
Augustus
Caesar
to
a
Dinner
,
and
as
he
was
coming
to
the
Feast
,
he
heard
a
horrid
Out-cry
,
and
saw
some
company
drawing
a
man
after
them
,
that
made
that
noise
:
the
Emperor
demanded
the
cause
of
that
violence
;
it
was
answered
,
their
Master
had
condemned
this
man
to
the
Fish-ponds
for
breaking
a
Glass
which
he
set
a
high
value
and
esteem
upon
,
Caesar
commanded
a
stay
of
the
Execution
,
and
when
he
came
to
the
House
,
he
asked
the
Senator
,
whether
he
had
Glasses
worth
a
mans
life
?
Who
answered
(
being
a
great
lover
of
such
things
)
that
he
had
Glasses
he
valued
at
the
price
of
a
Province
.
Let
me
see
them
(
saith
Augustus
)
and
he
brought
him
up
to
a
room
well
furnished
.
The
Emperor
saw
them
beautiful
to
the
eye
,
but
knew
withal
they
might
be
the
cause
of
much
mischief
,
therefore
he
broke
them
all
,
with
this
expression
,
Better
all
these
perish
than
one
man
.
I
will
leave
it
(
saith
he
)
to
your
Majesty
to
apply
.
But
the
Bishops
,
got
this
and
some
other
things
against
him
,
by
the
end
,
and
silenced
him
for
venting
any
more
such
comparisons
.
So
that
for
many
years
after
he
practised
Physick
,
and
grew
an
excellent
Physician
.
Put
upon
second
considerations
he
was
admitted
again
to
Preach
,
retaining
both
his
Piety
and
Integrity
(
though
he
writ
a
book
for
the
moderate
use
of
the
Ceremonies
)
ending
his
days
in
a
good
old
age
,
at
Sutton
Cofeld
in
Warwick-shire
,
after
a
journey
into
the
Palatinate
,
as
shall
be
exprest
in
its
time
.
The
fifth
of
August
this
year
had
a
new
title
given
to
it
.
The
fifth
of
August
made
Holyday
.
The
Kings
Deliveries
in
the
North
must
resound
here
.
Whether
the
Gowries
attempted
upon
the
Kings
person
,
or
the
King
on
theirs
,
is
variously
reported
.
It
may
be
,
he
retained
something
of
his
Predecessor
,
and
great
Parent
,
Henry
the
seventh
,
that
made
Religion
give
way
to
Policy
,
oftentimes
cursing
and
thundring
out
the
Churches
fulminations
against
his
own
Ministers
,
that
they
might
be
received
with
the
more
intimate
familiarity
with
his
Foreign
Enemies
,
for
the
better
discovery
of
their
designs
.
I
will
not
say
the
celebration
of
this
Holy-day
had
so
much
Prophaneness
,
for
Fame
may
be
a
slanderer
.
But
where
there
is
a
strength
of
Policy
,
there
is
often
a
power
of
worldly
wisdom
that
manages
,
and
sways
it
.
The
King
forgot
not
the
services
there
done
him
,
or
the
secret
contrivances
acted
for
him
;
for
Erskin
and
Ramsey
,
two
of
his
then
deliverers
,
were
not
long
after
rewarded
with
wealth
and
honour
,
the
one
made
Earl
of
Kellie
,
the
other
Earl
of
Holderness
,
;
the
first
,
prime
Gentleman
of
the
Bed-Chamber
to
the
King
;
and
second
got
to
his
Bedfellow
one
of
the
prime
Beauties
of
the
Kingdom
,
daughter
to
Robert
Earl
of
Sussex
;
and
both
of
them
had
their
Masters
purse
at
command
,
yet
in
our
time
,
the
one
died
poor
with
many
children
,
the
other
poor
and
childless
.
The
Kings
first
going
abroad
was
privately
to
visit
some
of
his
houses
;
for
naturally
he
did
not
love
to
be
looked
on
,
and
those
formalities
of
State
,
which
set
a
lustre
upon
Princes
in
the
peoples
eyes
,
were
but
so
many
burthens
to
him
:
for
his
private
recreations
at
home
,
and
his
hunting
exercises
abroad
,
both
with
the
least
disturbance
were
his
delights
.
While
he
remained
in
the
Tower
,
he
took
pleasure
in
baiting
Lions
,
but
when
he
came
abroad
,
he
was
so
troubled
with
swarms
,
that
he
feared
to
be
baited
by
the
people
.
And
the
Parliament
now
drawing
on
,
which
was
summoned
to
be
the
nineteenth
of
March
,
The
King
,
The
King
and
Queen
ride
through
the
City
.
with
the
Queen
and
Prince
,
four
days
before
,
rode
from
the
Tower
to
Whitehall
;
the
City
and
Suburbs
being
one
great
Pageant
,
wherein
he
must
give
his
ears
leave
to
suck
in
their
gilded
Oratory
,
though
never
so
nauseous
to
the
stomach
.
He
was
not
like
his
Predecessor
,
the
late
Queen
of
famous
memory
,
that
with
a
well-pleased
affection
met
her
peoples
Acclamations
,
thinking
most
highly
of
her self
,
when
she
was
born
up
on
the
wings
of
their
humble
supplications
.
He
endured
this
days
brunt
with
patience
,
being
assured
he
should
never
have
such
another
,
and
his
triumphal
riding
to
the
Parliament
that
followed
:
But
afterwards
in
his
publick
appearances
(
especially
in
his
sports
)
the
accesses
of
the
people
made
him
so
impatient
,
that
he
often
dispersed
them
with
frowns
,
that
we
may
not
say
with
curses
.
So
various
are
the
natures
of
Princes
,
and
their
actions
so
remarkable
,
that
he
may
pass
for
a
good
man
,
that
will
not
pass
for
a
good
Prince
.
The
Speech
he
made
to
the
Parliament
,
both
Houses
being
met
,
and
the
first
,
cannot
be
waved
,
though
it
be
somewhat
long
,
and
printed
in
his
own
Works
;
By
the
crisis
and
constitution
of
it
,
the
temper
of
his
mind
may
be
discovered
;
For
if
ever
he
spake
really
to
his
Parliament
it
was
then
;
And
I
shall
not
comment
upon
it
:
For
I
know
Princes
are
made
of
those
frail
Elements
that
other
men
are
,
but
this
much
I
will
say
;
He
had
strong
abilities
in
some
things
,
that
did
dignifie
the
doer
of
them
,
and
in
other
things
such
weaknesses
,
as
would
have
much
advanced
his
Wisdom
to
have
left
undone
.
But
if
worldly
Greatness
,
and
Glory
,
may
well
make
Princes
more
loth
to
leave
them
,
than
they
that
have
less
,
we
must
give
them
some
allowance
of
fear
to
lose
them
.
The
Speech
was
to
this
effect
.
It
did
no
sooner
please
God
to
lighten
his
hand
,
The
Kings
Speech
to
the
Parliament
.
and
relent
the
violence
of
his
devouring
Angel
against
the
poor
people
of
this
City
,
but
as
soon
I
did
resolve
to
call
this
Parliament
,
and
that
for
three
chief
and
principal
Reasons
.
The
first
whereof
is
(
and
which
of
it self
,
although
there
were
no
more
,
is
not
only
a
sufficient
,
but
a
most
full
and
necessary
Ground
and
Reason
for
convening
of
this
Assembly
)
the
first
Reason
,
I
say
,
is
,
That
you
who
are
here
present
assembled
to
represent
the
Body
of
this
whole
Kingdom
,
and
of
all
sorts
of
people
within
the
same
,
may
with
your
own
ears
hear
,
and
that
I
out
of
my
own
mouth
may
deliver
unto
you
the
assurance
of
my
due
thankfulness
for
your
so
joyful
and
general
applause
,
to
the
declaring
and
receiving
of
me
in
this
Seat
(
which
God
by
my
Birth-right
,
and
lineal
Descent
had
in
the
fulness
of
time
provided
for
me
)
and
that
immediately
after
it
pleased
God
to
call
your
late
Soveraign
of
famous
memory
,
full
of
days
,
but
fuller
of
immortal
Trophies
of
Honour
,
out
of
this
transitory
life
.
Not
that
I
am
able
to
express
by
Words
,
or
utter
by
Eloquence
,
the
vive
Image
of
my
own
inward
thankfulness
,
but
only
that
out
of
my
own
mouth
,
you
may
rest
assured
to
expect
that
measure
of
thankfulness
at
my
hands
,
which
is
according
to
the
infiniteness
of
your
deserts
,
and
to
my
inclination
,
and
ability
,
for
requital
of
the
same
.
Shall
I
ever
?
nay
,
can
I
ever
be
able
,
or
rather
so
unable
in
memory
,
as
to
forget
your
unexpected
readiness
and
alacrity
,
your
ever
memorable
resolution
,
and
your
most
wonderful
conjunction
,
and
harmony
of
your
hearts
,
in
declaring
and
imbracing
me
as
your
undoubted
,
and
lawful
King
and
Governour
?
Or
shall
it
ever
be
blotted
out
of
my
mind
,
how
at
my
first
entry
into
this
Kingdom
,
the
people
of
all
sorts
rid
and
ran
,
nay
,
rather
,
flew
to
meet
me
?
Their
eyes
flaming
nothing
but
sparkles
of
affection
,
,
their
mouths
and
tongues
uttering
nothing
but
sounds
of
joy
;
their
hands
,
feet
,
and
all
the
rest
of
their
members
,
in
their
gestures
,
discovering
a
passionate
longing
,
and
earnestness
to
meet
,
and
imbrace
their
new
Soveraign
.
Quid
ergo
retribuam
?
Shall
I
allow
in
my self
that
which
I
could
never
bear
with
in
another
?
No
,
I
must
plainly
and
freely
confess
here
,
in
all
your
audiences
,
that
I
did
ever
naturally
so
far
mislike
a
tongue
too
smooth
,
and
diligent
in
paying
their
Creditors
,
with
lip-payment
,
and
verbal
thanks
,
as
I
ever
suspected
that
sort
of
people
,
meant
not
to
pay
their
Debtors
in
more
substantial
sort
of
coin
.
And
therefore
for
expressing
of
my
thankfulness
,
I
must
resort
unto
the
other
two
Reasons
of
my
convening
of
this
Parliament
,
by
them
in
action
to
utter
my
thankfulness
:
Both
the
said
reasons
having
but
one
ground
,
which
is
the
deeds
,
whereby
all
the
days
of
my
life
I
am
by
Gods
grace
to
express
my
said
thankfulness
unto
you
,
but
divided
in
this
,
That
in
the
first
of
these
two
,
mine
actions
of
thanks
are
so
inseparably
conjoyned
with
my
person
,
as
they
are
in
a
manner
become
individually
annexed
to
the
same
.
In
the
other
reason
,
mine
actions
are
such
,
as
I
may
either
do
them
,
or
leave
them
undone
,
although
by
Gods
grace
I
hope
never
to
be
weary
of
the
doing
them
.
As
to
the
first
,
it
is
the
Blessings
which
God
hath
in
my
Person
bestowed
upon
you
all
,
wherein
I
protest
,
I
do
more
glory
at
the
same
for
your
weal
,
than
for
any
particular
respect
of
my
own
reputation
,
or
advancement
therein
.
The
first
then
of
these
Blessings
,
which
God
hath
joyntly
with
my
person
sent
unto
you
,
is
Outward
Peace
;
that
is
,
Peace
abroad
with
all
Foreign
Neighbours
:
For
I
thank
God
,
I
may
justly
say
,
that
never
since
I
was
a
King
,
I
either
received
wrong
of
any
other
Christian
Prince
or
State
,
or
did
wrong
to
any
:
I
have
ever
,
I
praise
God
,
yet
kept
Peace
and
Amity
with
all
,
which
hath
been
so
far
tyed
to
my
person
,
as
at
my
coming
here
you
are
witnesses
,
I
found
the
State
imbarked
in
a
great
and
tedious
War
,
and
only
by
mine
arrival
here
,
and
by
the
Peace
in
my
person
,
is
now
Amity
kept
,
where
War
was
before
,
which
is
no
small
blessing
to
a
Christian
Common-wealth
:
For
by
peace
abroad
with
their
neighbours
the
Towns
flourish
,
the
Merchants
become
rich
,
the
Trade
doth
increase
,
and
the
People
of
all
sorts
in
the
Land
enjoy
free
Liberty
to
exercise
themselves
in
their
several
vocations
,
without
peril
or
disturbance
.
Not
that
I
think
this
Outward
peace
so
unseparably
tied
to
my
Person
,
as
I
dare
assuredly
promise
to
my self
,
and
to
you
,
the
certain
continuance
thereof
;
But
thus
far
I
can
very
well
assure
you
,
and
in
the
Word
of
a
King
promise
unto
you
,
that
I
shall
never
give
the
first
occasion
of
the
breach
thereof
,
neither
shall
I
ever
be
moved
for
any
particular
,
or
private
passion
of
mind
,
to
interrupt
your
publick
peace
,
except
I
be
forced
thereunto
,
either
for
reparation
of
the
honour
of
the
Kingdom
,
or
else
by
necessity
for
the
weal
and
preservation
of
the
same
:
In
which
case
,
a
secure
and
honourable
War
must
be
preferred
before
an
unsecure
and
dishonourable
peace
.
Yet
do
I
hope
,
by
my
experience
of
the
by
past
blessings
of
peace
,
which
God
hath
so
long
ever
since
my
birth
bestowed
upon
me
,
that
he
will
not
be
weary
to
continue
the
same
,
nor
repent
him
of
his
grace
towards
me
;
transferring
that
sentence
of
King
Davids
upon
his
by
past
Victories
of
War
,
to
mine
of
peace
;
That
that
God
who
preserved
me
from
the
devouring
jaws
of
the
Bear
,
and
of
the
Lion
,
and
delivered
them
into
my
hand
,
shall
now
also
grant
me
Victory
over
that
uncircumcised
Philistine
.
But
although
outward
peace
be
a
great
blessing
,
yet
it
is
as
far
inferiour
to
peace
within
,
as
Civil
Wars
are
more
cruel
and
unnatural
than
Wars
abroad
.
And
therefore
the
second
great
blessing
that
God
hath
with
my
Person
sent
unto
you
,
is
Peace
within
,
and
that
in
a
double
form
:
First
,
by
my
dedescent
lineally
out
of
the
loyns
of
Henry
the
seventh
,
is
re-united
and
confirmed
in
me
the
Vnion
of
the
two
Princely
Roses
of
the
two
Houses
of
Lancaster
and
York
,
whereof
that
King
of
happy
memory
was
the
first
Vniter
,
as
he
was
also
the
first
ground-layer
of
the
other
peace
(
The
lamentable
and
miserable
events
,
by
the
civil
and
bloody
dissension
betwixt
these
two
Houses
,
was
so
great
,
and
so
late
,
as
it
need
not
be
renewed
unto
your
memories
)
which
as
it
was
first
setled
and
united
in
Him
,
so
it
is
now
re-united
and
confirmed
in
Me
;
being
justly
and
lineally
descended
,
not
only
of
that
happy
conjunction
,
but
of
both
the
Branches
thereof
in
any
Times
before
.
But
the
Union
of
these
two
Princely
Houses
is
nothing
comparable
to
the
Union
of
the
two
ancient
and
famous
Kingdoms
,
which
is
the
other
Inward
peace
annexed
to
my
Person
.
And
here
I
must
crave
your
patience
for
a
little
space
,
to
give
me
leave
to
discourse
more
particularly
of
the
Benefits
that
do
arise
of
that
Vnion
which
is
made
in
my
blood
,
being
a
matter
that
belongeth
most
properly
to
me
to
speak
of
,
as
the
Head
,
wherein
that
great
Body
is
united
.
And
first
,
if
we
were
to
look
no
higher
than
to
Natural
and
Physical
Reasons
,
we
may
easily
be
perswaded
of
the
great
Benefits
that
by
this
Vnion
do
redound
to
the
whole
Island
:
for
if
twenty
thousand
men
be
a
strong
Army
,
is
not
the
double
thereof
,
forty
thousand
,
a
stronger
Army
?
If
a
Baron
enricheth
himself
with
double
as
many
Lands
as
he
had
before
,
is
he
not
double
the
greater
?
Nature
teacheth
Vs
,
that
Mountains
are
made
of
Motes
;
and
that
at
first
,
Kingdoms
being
divided
,
and
every
particular
Town
,
or
little
Country
(
as
Tyrants
or
Usurpers
could
obtain
the
possession
of
a
Signory
apart
)
many
of
these
little
Kingdoms
are
now
in
process
of
Time
,
by
the
Ordinance
of
God
,
joyned
into
great
Monarchies
,
whereby
they
are
become
powerful
within
themselves
,
to
defend
themselves
from
all
Outward
invasions
,
and
their
Head
and
Governour
thereby
enabled
to
redeem
them
from
Foreign
Assaults
,
and
punish
private
transgressions
within
.
Do
we
not
yet
remember
that
this
Kingdom
was
divided
into
seven
little
Kingdoms
,
besides
Wales
?
And
is
it
not
now
the
stronger
by
their
Vnion
?
And
hath
not
the
Vnion
of
Wales
to
England
added
a
greater
strength
thereto
!
Which
though
it
was
a
great
Principality
,
was
nothing
comparable
,
in
greatness
and
power
,
to
the
antient
and
famous
Kingdom
of
Scotland
.
But
what
shall
we
stick
upon
any
Natural
appearance
,
when
it
is
manifest
that
God
by
his
Almighty
Providence
hath
pre-ordained
it
so
to
be
?
Hath
not
God
first
united
these
two
Kingdoms
,
both
in
Language
,
and
Religion
,
and
similitude
of
Manners
?
Yea
,
hath
he
not
made
Vs
all
in
one
Island
,
compassed
with
one
Sea
,
and
of
it self
by
Nature
so
indivisible
,
as
almost
those
that
were
borderers
themselves
on
the
late
Borders
,
cannot
distinguish
,
nor
know
,
or
discern
their
own
Limits
?
These
two
Countries
being
separated
neither
by
Sea
,
nor
great
River
,
Mountain
,
nor
other
strength
of
Nature
,
but
only
by
little
small
Brooks
,
or
demolished
little
Walls
,
so
as
rather
they
were
divided
in
apprehension
,
than
in
effect
;
and
now
in
the
end
and
fulness
of
time
united
,
the
right
and
title
of
both
in
my
Person
,
alike
lineally
descended
of
both
the
Crowns
,
whereby
it
is
now
become
a
little
World
within
it self
,
being
intrenched
and
fortified
round
about
with
a
natural
,
and
yet
admirable
strong
Pond
or
Ditch
,
whereby
all
the
former
fears
of
this
Nation
are
quite
cut
off
:
The
other
part
of
the
Island
being
ever
before
now
,
not
only
the
Place
of
Landing
to
all
Strangers
that
were
to
make
Invasion
here
,
but
likewise
moved
by
the
Enemies
of
this
State
,
by
untimely
Incursions
to
make
inforced
diversion
from
their
Conquests
,
for
defending
themselves
at
home
,
and
keeping
sure
their
Back-door
,
as
then
it
was
called
,
which
was
the
greatest
hindrance
and
Let
my
Predecessors
of
this
Nation
ever
had
,
in
disturbing
them
from
their
many
famous
and
glorious
Conquests
abroad
:
What
God
hath
conjoyned
then
,
let
no
man
separate
.
I
am
the
Husband
,
and
all
the
whole
Island
is
my
lawful
Wife
;
I
am
the
Head
,
and
it
is
my
Body
;
I
am
the
Shepherd
,
and
it
is
my
Flock
:
I
hope
therefore
no
man
will
be
so
unreasonable
as
to
think
that
I
,
that
am
a
Christian
King
under
the
Gospel
,
should
be
a
Polygamist
,
and
Husband
to
two
Wives
;
that
I
being
the
Head
,
should
have
a
divided
and
monstrous
Body
;
or
that
being
the
Shepherd
of
so
fair
a
Flock
(
whose
Fold
hath
no
wall
to
sence
it
,
but
the
four
Seas
)
should
have
my
Flock
parted
in
two
.
But
as
I
am
assured
,
that
no
honest
Subject
,
of
whatsoever
degree
,
within
my
whole
Dominions
,
is
less
glad
of
this
joyful
Vnion
,
than
I
am
;
so
may
the
frivolous
objection
of
any
that
would
be
hinderers
of
this
Work
(
which
God
hath
in
my
Person
already
established
)
be
easily
answered
;
which
can
be
none
,
except
such
as
are
either
blinded
with
ignorance
,
or
else
transported
with
malice
,
being
unable
to
live
in
a
well-governed
Common-wealth
,
and
only
delighting
to
fish
in
troubled
waters
:
For
if
they
would
stand
upon
their
reputation
,
and
privileges
of
any
of
the
Kingdoms
;
I
pray
you
,
were
not
both
the
Kingdoms
Monarchies
from
the
beginning
?
And
consequently
,
could
ever
the
Body
be
counted
without
the
Head
,
which
was
ever
unseparably
joyned
thereunto
?
So
that
as
the
honour
and
priviledges
of
any
of
the
Kingdoms
could
not
be
divided
from
their
Sovereign
;
so
are
they
now
confounded
and
joyned
in
my
Person
,
who
am
equal
and
alike
kindly
Head
to
both
.
When
this
Kingdom
of
England
was
divided
into
so
many
petty
Kingdoms
(
as
I
told
you
before
)
one
of
them
eat
up
another
,
till
they
were
all
united
into
One.
And
yet
,
can
Wiltshire
or
Devonshire
,
which
were
of
the
West-Saxons
(
although
their
Kingdom
was
of
longest
durance
,
and
did
by
Conquest
overcome
divers
of
the
rest
of
the
little
Kingdoms
)
make
Claim
to
Priority
of
place
or
Honour
before
Su●sex
,
Essex
,
or
other
Shires
,
which
were
Conquered
by
them
?
And
have
We
not
the
like
experience
in
the
Kingdom
of
France
,
being
composed
of
divers
Dutchies
,
and
one
after
another
Conquered
by
the
Sword
?
For
even
as
little
Brooks
lose
their
Names
by
running
and
falling
into
great
Rivers
,
and
the
very
name
and
memory
of
great
Rivers
swallowed
up
in
the
Ocean
:
so
by
the
conjunction
of
divers
little
Kingdoms
into
One
,
are
all
these
private
differences
and
questions
swallowed
up
.
And
since
the
success
was
happy
of
the
Saxon
Kingdoms
Conquered
by
the
Spear
of
Bellona
;
how
much
greater
reason
have
We
to
expect
a
happy
issue
of
this
greater
Vnion
,
which
is
only
fastned
and
bound
up
by
the
Wedding-Ring
of
Astrea
?
And
as
God
hath
made
Scotland
(
the
one
half
of
this
Island
)
to
enjoy
my
birth
,
and
the
first
and
most
imperfect
half
of
my
life
;
and
you
here
to
enjoy
the
perfect
and
last
half
thereof
:
so
can
I
not
think
,
that
any
would
be
so
injurious
to
me
,
no
not
in
their
thoughts
and
wishes
,
as
to
cut
asunder
the
one
half
of
Me
from
the
other
.
But
in
this
matter
I
have
far
enough
insisted
,
resting
assured
,
that
in
your
hearts
and
minds
you
all
applaud
this
my
Discourse
.
Now
although
these
blessings
(
before
rehearsed
)
of
inward
,
and
outward
peace
be
great
:
yet
seeing
that
in
all
good
things
,
a
great
part
of
their
goodness
and
estimation
is
lost
,
if
they
have
not
appearance
of
perpetuity
or
long
continuance
;
so
hath
it
pleased
Almighty
God
to
accompany
my
person
also
with
that
favour
,
having
healthful
and
hopeful
Issue
of
my
bod
(
whereof
some
are
here
present
)
for
continuance
and
propagation
of
that
undoubted
Right
which
is
in
my
person
;
under
whom
I
doubt
not
but
it
will
please
God
to
prosper
and
continue
for
many
years
this
Vnion
,
and
all
other
blessings
of
inward
and
outward
Peace
,
which
I
have
brought
with
me
.
But
neither
peace
outward
,
nor
peace
inward
,
nor
any
other
blessing
that
can
follow
thereupon
,
nor
appearance
of
the
perpetuity
thereof
,
by
propagation
in
posterity
,
are
but
weak
pillars
,
and
rotten
reeds
to
lead
unto
,
if
God
doth
not
strengthen
,
and
by
the
staff
of
his
blessing
make
them
durable
;
for
in
vain
doth
the
Watchman
watch
the
City
,
if
the
Lord
be
not
the
principal
defence
thereof
;
in
vain
doth
the
Builder
build
the
house
,
if
God
give
not
the
success
;
and
in
vain
(
as
Paul
saith
)
doth
Paul
plant
,
and
Apollo
water
,
if
God
give
not
the
increase
:
for
all
worldly
blessings
are
but
like
swift
passing
shadows
,
fading
flowers
,
or
chaff
blown
before
the
wind
,
if
by
the
profession
of
true
Religion
,
and
works
according
thereunto
,
God
be
not
moved
to
maintain
and
settle
the
Thrones
of
Princes
.
And
although
since
mine
entry
into
this
Kingdom
,
I
have
both
by
meeting
with
divers
of
the
Ecclesiastical
state
,
and
likewise
by
divers
Proclamations
clearly
declared
my
mind
in
points
of
Religion
,
yet
do
I
not
think
it
amiss
in
this
so
solemn
an
Audience
to
take
occasion
to
discover
somewhat
of
the
secrets
of
my
heart
in
that
matter
.
For
I
shall
never
(
with
Gods
grace
)
be
ashamed
to
make
publick
profession
thereof
upon
all
occasions
,
lest
God
should
be
ashamed
of
me
before
Men
and
Angels
;
especially
lest
at
this
time
men
might
presume
further
upon
the
misknowledg
of
my
meaning
to
trouble
this
Parliament
than
were
convenient
.
At
my
first
coming
,
although
I
found
but
one
Religion
,
and
that
which
by
my self
is
professed
,
publickly
allowed
,
and
by
the
Law
maintained
;
yet
found
I
another
sort
of
Religion
,
besides
a
private
Sect
,
lurking
within
the
bowels
of
this
Nation
.
The
first
is
the
true
Religion
,
which
by
me
is
professed
,
and
by
Law
is
established
:
The
second
is
,
the
falsly
called
Catholicks
,
but
truly
Papists
:
The
third
which
I
call
a
Sect
rather
than
a
Religion
,
is
the
Puritans
and
Novelists
,
who
do
not
so
far
differ
from
us
in
points
of
Religion
,
as
in
their
confused
form
of
policy
and
parity
,
being
ever
discontented
with
the
present
Government
,
and
impatient
to
suffer
any
superiority
,
which
maketh
their
Sects
insufferable
in
any
well
governed
Common-wealth
.
But
as
for
my
course
towards
them
,
I
remit
it
to
my
Proclamations
made
upon
that
subject
.
And
now
for
the
Papists
,
I
must
put
a
difference
betwixt
mine
own
private
profession
of
my
salvation
,
and
my
politick
Government
of
the
Realm
for
the
weal
and
quietness
thereof
.
As
for
my
own
profession
,
you
have
me
your
head
now
among
you
of
the
same
Religion
that
the
Body
is
of
;
As
I
am
no
stranger
to
you
in
Blood
,
no
more
am
I
a
stranger
to
you
in
Faith
,
or
in
matters
concerning
the
House
of
God
.
And
although
this
my
profession
be
according
to
my
education
,
wherein
(
I
thank
God
)
I
suckt
the
milk
of
Gods
Truth
,
with
the
milk
of
my
Nurse
;
yet
I
do
here
protest
unto
you
,
that
I
would
never
(
for
such
a
conceit
of
Constancy
,
or
other
prejudicate
opinion
)
have
so
firmly
kept
my
first
profession
,
if
I
had
not
found
it
agreeable
to
all
reason
,
and
to
the
rule
of
my
conscience
.
But
I
was
never
violent
,
nor
unreasonable
in
my
profession
:
I
acknowledg
the
Roman
Church
to
be
our
Mother
Church
,
although
defiled
with
some
infirmities
and
corruptions
,
as
the
Iews
were
,
before
they
Crucified
Christ
.
And
as
I
am
no
enemy
to
the
life
of
a
sick
man
,
because
I
would
have
his
body
purged
of
ill
humours
;
no
more
am
I
an
enemy
to
their
Church
,
because
I
would
have
them
reform
their
errors
,
not
wishing
the
down-throwing
of
the
Temple
,
but
that
it
might
be
purged
,
and
cleansed
from
corruption
:
otherwise
how
can
they
wish
us
to
enter
,
if
their
house
be
not
first
made
clean
?
But
as
I
would
be
lother
to
dispense
in
the
least
point
of
mine
own
conscience
,
for
any
worldly
respect
,
than
the
foolishest
Precisian
of
them
all
,
so
would
I
be
as
sorry
to
streighten
the
politick
Government
of
the
bodies
and
minds
of
all
my
Subjects
to
my
private
Opinions
:
Nay
,
my
mind
was
ever
so
free
from
persecution
,
or
inthralling
of
my
Subjects
in
matters
of
conscience
,
as
I
hope
those
of
that
profession
within
this
Kingdom
have
a
proof
since
my
coming
,
that
I
was
so
far
from
increasing
their
burthens
with
Rehoboam
,
as
I
have
so
much
as
either
time
,
occasion
,
or
law
could
permit
,
lightned
them
.
And
even
now
at
this
time
,
have
I
been
careful
to
revise
and
consider
deeply
upon
the
Laws
made
against
them
,
that
some
overture
might
be
made
to
the
present
Parliament
for
clearing
these
Laws
by
reason
(
which
is
the
soul
of
the
Law
)
in
case
they
have
been
in
times
past
,
further
,
or
more
rigorously
extended
by
Iudges
,
than
the
meaning
of
the
Law
was
,
or
might
tend
to
the
hurt
as
well
of
the
Innocent
as
of
the
guilty
persons
.
And
as
to
the
persons
of
my
Subjects
which
are
of
that
profession
,
I
must
divide
them
into
two
ranks
,
Clericks
and
Laicks
:
for
the
Laicks
,
I
ever
thought
them
far
more
excusable
than
the
other
sort
,
because
their
Religion
containeth
such
an
ignorant
,
doubtful
,
and
implicite
kind
of
Faith
grounded
upon
their
Church
,
that
except
they
do
generally
believe
whatsoever
their
Teachers
please
to
affirm
,
they
can
not
be
thought
guilty
of
these
particular
Points
of
Heresies
,
and
Corruptions
,
which
their
Teachers
so
wilfully
profess
.
And
again
,
I
must
subdivide
the
Laicks
into
two
ranks
;
which
are
,
either
quiet
and
well-minded
men
,
peaceable
Subjects
,
who
either
being
old
,
retain
their
first
drunk-in
liquor
,
upon
a
certain
shamefacedness
to
be
thought
curious
,
or
changeable
:
Or
being
young
men
,
through
evil
education
,
have
been
nursed
and
brought
up
upon
such
venom
,
instead
of
wholsome
nutriment
;
And
this
sort
of
People
,
I
would
be
sorry
to
punish
their
Bodies
for
the
error
of
their
minds
,
the
reformation
whereof
must
only
come
of
God
,
and
the
true
Spirit
.
But
the
other
rank
of
Laicks
,
who
either
through
curiosity
,
affectation
of
novelty
,
or
discontentment
,
have
changed
their
Coats
,
only
to
be
factious
,
stirrers
of
sedition
,
and
perturbers
of
the
Common-wealth
,
th●s
giveth
a
ground
to
Me

But
of
one
thing
would
I
have
the
Papists
of
this
Land
to
be
admonished
,
that
they
presume
not
so
much
upon
my
lenity
(
because
I
would
be
loth
to
be
thought
a
Persecutor
)
as
thereupon
to
think
it
lawful
for
them
daily
to
increase
their
number
and
strength
in
this
Kingdom
;
whereby
,
if
not
in
my
time
,
at
least
in
the
time
of
my
Posterity
,
they
may
be
in
hope
to
erect
their
Religion
again
.
No
,
let
them
assure
themselves
,
that
as
I
am
a
Friend
to
their
Persons
,
if
they
be
good
Subjects
;
so
I
am
a
vowed
Enemy
,
and
do
denounce
Mortal
War
to
their
Errors
.
And
as
I
would
be
sorry
to
be
driven
,
by
their
ill
behaviour
,
from
the
protection
and
conservation
of
their
bodies
and
lives
;
so
will
I
never
cease
,
as
far
as
I
can
,
to
tread
down
their
Errors
,
and
wrong
Opinions
.
For
I
could
not
permit
the
increase
and
growing
of
their
Religion
,
without
betraying
my self
,
and
my
own
Conscence
,
and
this
whole
Island
,
as
well
the
part
I
am
come
from
,
as
the
part
I
remain
in
,
in
betraying
their
Liberties
,
and
reducing
them
to
the
former
slavish
yoke
,
which
both
had
cast
off
before
I
came
among
them
;
as
also
the
Liberty
of
the
Crown
in
my
Posterity
,
which
I
should
leave
again
under
a
new
Slavery
,
being
left
free
to
me
by
my
Predecessors
.
And
therefore
I
would
wish
all
good
Subjects
that
are
deceived
with
this
Corruption
,
if
they
find
any
beginnings
in
themselves
of
knowledg
,
and
love
to
the
truth
,
to
foster
the
same
by
all
lawful
means
,
and
to
beware
of
quenching
the
Spirit
that
worketh
within
them
.
And
if
they
can
find
as
yet
no
motion
tending
that
way
,
to
be
studious
to
read
and
confer
with
learned
Men
,
and
to
use
all
such
means
as
may
further
their
Resolution
;
assuring
them
,
that
as
long
as
they
are
disconformable
in
Religion
to
us
,
they
cannot
be
but
half
my
Subjects
,
be
able
to
do
but
half
service
,
and
I
shall
want
the
best
half
of
them
,
which
is
their
souls
.
And
here
I
have
occasion
to
speak
to
you
,
my
Lords
the
Bishops
;
Tobie
Matthew
.
for
as
you
my
Lord
of
Durham
,
said
very
learnedly
today
in
your
Sermon
,
Correction
without
Instruction
is
but
Tyranny
:
So
ought
you
,
and
all
the
Clergy
under
you
,
to
be
more
careful
,
vigilant
and
careful
than
you
have
been
,
to
win
souls
to
God
,
as
well
by
your
exemplary
Life
,
as
Doctrine
.
And
since
you
see
how
careful
they
are
,
sparing
neither
labour
,
pains
,
nor
extreme
peril
of
their
Persons
,
to
pervert
,
(
the
Devil
is
so
busie
a
Bishop
;
)
ye
should
be
the
more
careful
,
and
wakeful
in
your
Charges
.
Follow
the
Rule
prescribed
you
by
Saint
Paul
,
Be
careful
to
exhort
and
instruct
,
in
season
,
and
out
of
season
:
And
where
you
have
been
any
way
sluggish
before
,
now
waken
your selves
up
again
with
a
new
diligence
,
remitting
the
success
to
God
,
who
calling
them
either
at
the
second
,
third
,
tenth
,
or
twelfth
hour
,
as
they
are
alike
welcom
to
him
,
so
shall
they
be
to
me
his
Lieutenant
here
.
The
third
Reason
of
my
Convening
you
at
this
time
,
which
containeth
such
Actions
of
my
Thankfulness
towards
you
,
as
I
may
either
do
,
or
leave
undone
,
yet
shall
,
with
Gods
grace
,
ever
press
to
perform
all
the
days
of
my
life
.
It
consists
in
these
two
Points
;
In
making
of
Laws
at
certain
Times
,
which
is
only
at
such
Times
as
this
,
in
Parliament
;
or
in
the
careful
Execution
of
the
Laws
at
other
Times
.
As
for
the
Making
of
them
,
I
will
thus
far
faithfully
promise
unto
you
,
that
I
will
ever
prefer
the
Weal
of
the
Body
above
any
particular
or
private
ends
of
my
Own
,
thinking
ever
the
Weal
of
the
Commonwealth
to
be
the
greatest
Weal
,
and
worldly
felicity
:
A
Point
wherein
a
lawful
King
doth
directly
differ
from
a
Tyrant
.
But
at
this
time
I
am
only
thus
far
to
forwarn
you
in
that
Point
,
that
you
beware
to
seek
the
making
of
too
many
Laws
,
for
two
especial
Reasons
;
First
,
because
In
corruptissima
Republica
plurimae
leges
;
And
the
execution
of
some
good
Laws
is
far
more
profitable
in
a
Common-wealth
,
than
to
burthen
mens
memories
with
making
too
many
of
them
.
And
next
,
because
the
making
of
too
many
Laws
in
one
Parliament
,
will
bring
in
Confusion
,
for
want
of
leisure
,
wisely
to
deliberate
before
you
conclude
;
for
the
Bishop
said
well
to
day
,
That
to
Deliberation
a
large
time
would
be
given
,
but
to
Execution
a
greater
promptness
was
required
.
As
for
the
Execution
of
good
Law
,
it
hath
been
very
wisely
and
honourably
foreseen
,
and
ordered
by
my
Predecessors
in
this
Kingdom
,
in
planting
such
a
number
of
Iudges
,
and
all
sorts
of
Magistrates
,
in
convenient
places
,
for
execution
of
the
same
.
And
therefore
must
I
now
turn
to
you
that
are
Iudges
,
and
Magistrates
under
me
,
as
mine
Eyes
and
Ears
in
this
case
:
I
can
say
no
otherwise
to
you
,
than
as
Ezekias
the
good
King
of
Iuda
said
to
their
Iudges
,
Remember
that
the
Thrones
you
sit
on
are
Gods
,
and
neither
yours
nor
mine
.
And
as
you
must
be
answerable
to
me
,
so
must
both
you
and
I
be
answerable
to
God
for
the
due
Execution
of
Our
Offices
.
That
Place
is
no
Place
for
you
to
utter
your
Affections
in
;
you
must
not
there
hate
your
foe
,
nor
love
your
friend
;
fear
the
offending
of
the
greater
party
,
or
pity
the
misery
of
the
meaner
;
ye
must
be
blind
,
and
not
see
distinctions
of
Persons
;
handless
,
not
to
receive
Bribes
;
but
keep
that
just
Temper
and
Medium
in
all
your
Proceedings
,
that
like
a
just
Ballance
,
ye
may
neither
sway
to
the
right
hand
,
nor
to
the
left
.
Three
principal
Qualities
are
required
in
you
,
Knowledg
,
Courage
,
and
Sincerity
;
that
you
may
discern
with
Knowledg
,
execute
with
Courage
,
and
do
both
in
upright
Sincerity
.
And
for
my
part
,
I
do
vow
and
protest
here
in
the
presence
of
God
,
and
of
this
Honourable
Audience
,
I
never
shall
be
weary
,
nor
omit
occasion
wherein
I
may
shew
my
carefulness
of
the
Execution
of
good
Laws
:
And
as
I
wish
you
that
are
Iudges
,
not
to
be
weary
in
your
Office
,
in
doing
of
it
;
so
shall
I
never
be
weary
,
with
Gods
grace
,
to
take
account
of
you
,
which
is
properly
my
calling
.
And
thus
having
told
you
the
three
causes
of
my
Convening
of
this
Parliament
,
all
three
tending
only
to
utter
my
thankfulness
,
but
in
divers
forms
;
the
first
by
word
,
the
other
two
by
action
,
I
do
confess
,
that
when
I
have
done
,
and
performed
all
that
in
this
Speech
I
have
promised
,
Inutilis
servus
sum
.
When
I
have
done
all
that
I
can
for
you
,
I
do
nothing
but
that
which
I
am
bound
to
do
,
and
am
accountable
to
God
for
the
contrary
.
For
the
difference
betwixt
a
Rightful
King
,
and
an
Usurping
Tyrant
,
is
this
;
That
the
proud
and
ambitious
Tyrant
doth
think
his
Kingdom
and
People
are
ordained
for
satisfaction
of
his
desires
,
and
unreasonable
appetite
;
The
righteous
and
just
King
doth
by
the
contrary
,
acknowledg
himself
to
be
ordained
for
procuring
the
wealth
and
prosperity
of
his
People
,
and
that
his
greatest
and
principal
worldly
felicity
must
consist
in
their
prosperity
:
If
you
be
rich
,
I
cannot
be
poor
;
if
you
be
happy
,
I
cannot
but
be
fortunate
;
and
I
protest
,
that
your
welfare
shall
ever
be
my
greatest
care
and
contentment
.
And
that
I
am
a
Servant
,
is
most
true
;
that
as
I
am
a
Head
and
Governour
of
all
the
People
in
my
Dominions
,
who
are
my
Natural
Vassals
,
and
Subjects
,
considering
them
in
numbers
,
and
distinct
ranks
;
So
if
we
will
take
the
People
as
one
Body
and
Mass
,
then
as
the
Head
is
ordained
for
the
Body
,
and
not
the
Body
for
the
Head
;
so
must
a
righteous
King
know
himself
to
be
ordained
for
his
People
,
and
not
his
People
for
Him
:
For
although
a
King
and
his
People
be
Relata
,
yet
can
he
be
no
King
if
he
want
People
and
Subjects
.
But
there
be
many
People
in
the
World
that
lack
a
Head
;
wherefore
I
will
never
be
ashamed
to
confess
it
my
Principal
Honour
,
to
be
the
great
Servant
of
the
Common-wealth
;
and
ever
think
the
Prosperity
thereof
to
be
my
greatest
felicity
,
as
I
have
already
said
.
But
as
it
was
the
whole
Body
of
this
Kingdom
(
with
an
uniform
assent
and
harmony
)
which
did
so
far
oblige
me
,
so
is
my
thankfulness
due
to
the
whole
State
.
For
even
as
in
Matter
of
faults
,
Quod
à
multis
peccatur
,
impunè
peccatur
;
even
so
in
the
Matter
of
virtuous
and
good
deeds
,
which
are
done
by
the
willing
Consent
and
Harmony
of
the
whole
Body
,
no
particular
Person
can
justly
claim
thanks
,
as
proper
to
him
,
for
the
same
:
And
therefore
I
must
here
make
a
little
Apologie
for
my self
,
in
that
I
could
not
satisfie
the
particular
humours
of
every
Person
that
looked
for
some
Advancement
or
Reward
at
my
hand
,
since
my
entry
into
this
Kingdom
.
Three
kinds
of
things
were
craved
of
me
,
Advancement
to
honour
,
Preferment
to
place
of
Credit
about
my
Person
,
and
Reward
in
Matters
of
Land
or
Profit
.
If
I
had
bestowed
Honour
upon
all
,
no
man
could
have
been
advanced
to
Honour
;
for
the
Degrees
of
Honour
do
consist
in
preferring
some
above
their
Fellows
:
If
every
man
had
the
like
access
to
my
Person
,
then
no
man
could
have
it
:
and
if
I
had
bestowed
Lands
and
Rewards
upon
every
man
,
the
Fountain
of
my
Liberality
,
would
have
been
so
exhausted
,
as
I
should
want
Means
to
be
liberal
to
any
man
.
Yet
was
I
not
so
sparing
,
but
I
may
without
Vaunting
affirm
,
that
I
have
enlarged
my
favour
in
all
the
three
Degrees
,
towards
as
many
and
more
,
than
ever
King
of
England
did
,
in
so
short
a
space
.
No
,
I
rather
crave
your
pardon
,
that
I
have
been
so
bountiful
:
For
if
the
means
of
the
Crown
be
wasted
,
whither
should
I
have
recourse
but
to
you
my
Subjects
,
and
be
burthensome
to
you
?
which
I
should
be
lothest
to
do
of
any
King
alive
.
Two
special
Causes
moved
me
to
be
so
open-handed
,
whereof
the
one
was
reasonable
and
honourable
,
but
the
other
(
I
will
not
be
ashamed
to
confess
unto
you
)
proceeded
of
my
own
infirmity
.
That
which
was
Just
and
Honourable
,
was
,
that
being
so
far
beholden
to
the
Body
of
the
whole
State
,
I
thought
I
could
not
refuse
to
let
some
small
Brooks
run
out
of
the
Fountain
of
my
Thankfulness
to
the
whole
,
for
refreshing
of
particular
Persons
,
that
were
Members
of
that
Multitude
.
The
other
which
proceeded
out
of
mine
own
Infirmity
,
was
,
the
Multitude
and
importunity
of
Suters
.
But
although
Reason
come
by
infusion
in
a
manner
,
yet
Experience
groweth
with
time
and
labour
:
And
therefore
do
I
not
doubt
,
but
Experience
will
teach
the
particular
Subjects
of
this
Kingdom
,
not
to
be
so
importune
and
undiscreet
in
craving
;
and
Me
not
to
be
so
easily
and
lightly
moved
,
in
granting
that
which
may
be
harmful
to
my
Estate
,
and
consequently
to
the
whole
Kingdom
.
And
thus
at
length
having
declared
unto
you
my
mind
,
My
Conclusion
shall
only
now
be
,
to
excuse
my Self
,
in
case
you
have
not
found
such
Eloquence
in
my
Speech
,
as
peradventure
you
might
have
looked
for
at
my
hands
.
I
might
alledg
the
great
weight
of
my
Affairs
,
and
my
continual
business
,
and
distraction
,
that
I
could
never
have
leisure
to
think
upon
what
I
was
to
speak
;
And
I
might
also
alledg
,
that
my
first
sight
of
this
so
Famous
and
Honourable
an
Assembly
,
might
likewise
breed
some
impediment
:
But
leaving
these
excuses
,
I
will
plainly
,
and
freely
,
in
my
manner
,
tell
you
the
true
Cause
of
it
;
which
is
,
That
it
becometh
a
King
,
in
my
opinion
,
to
use
no
other
Eloquence
than
plainness
and
sincerity
.
By
plainness
,
I
mean
,
that
his
Speeches
should
be
so
clear
,
and
void
of
all
ambiguity
,
that
they
may
not
be
thrown
,
nor
rent
in
sunder
,
in
contrary
senses
,
like
the
old
Oracles
of
the
Pagan
gods
:
And
by
Sincerity
,
I
understand
,
that
uprightness
and
honesty
which
ought
to
be
in
a
Kings
whole
Speeches
,
and
Actions
;
that
as
far
as
a
King
is
in
Honour
erected
above
any
of
his
Subjects
,
so
far
should
he
strive
in
Sincerity
to
be
above
them
all
,
and
that
his
tongue
should
be
ever
the
true
Messenger
of
his
heart
.
And
this
sort
of
Eloquence
you
may
ever
assuredly
look
for
at
my
hands
.
Thus
the
Beams
of
Majesty
had
an
influence
upon
every
branch
and
leaf
of
the
Kingdom
,
by
reflecting
upon
the
Root
,
their
Representative
Body
;
every
particular
expecting
what
fruit
this
Sun-shine
would
produce
;
striving
as
much
to
insinuate
into
him
,
as
he
did
into
the
general
,
so
that
there
was
a
Reciprocal
Harmony
between
the
King
and
the
People
,
because
they
courted
one
another
.
But
when
the
Kings
Bounty
contracted
it self
into
private
Favourites
(
as
it
did
afterwards
)
bestowing
the
affection
he
promised
the
whole
people
,
upon
one
man
;
when
the
golden
showers
they
gaped
for
,
dropt
into
some
few
chanels
,
their
passions
flew
higher
than
their
hopes
.
The
Kings
aims
were
,
to
unite
the
two
Kingdoms
,
so
that
the
one
might
corroborate
the
other
,
to
make
good
that
part
of
his
Speech
(
by
this
intermixtion
)
wherein
he
divides
England
and
Scotland
into
halves
:
But
the
English
stumbled
at
that
partition
,
thinking
it
an
unequal
division
,
and
fearing
that
the
Scots
(
creeping
into
English
Lordships
,
and
English
Ladies
Beds
,
in
both
which
already
they
began
to
be
active
)
might
quickly
make
their
least
half
the
predominant
part
.
But
he
was
Proclaimed
King
of
Great
Britain
;
The
King
proclaimed
King
of
great
Britain
.
England
must
be
no
more
a
Name
;
the
Scotish
Coyns
are
made
currant
,
and
our
Ships
must
have
Saint
Georges
and
Saint
Andrews
Crosses
quartered
together
in
their
Flags
;
all
outward
Ensigns
of
Amity
.
But
those
English
that
had
suckt
in
none
of
the
sweets
of
this
pleasant
Stream
of
Bounty
,
repined
to
see
the
Scots
advanced
from
blew
Bonnets
to
costly
Beavers
,
wearing
instead
of
Wadmeal
,
Velvet
and
Satin
,
as
divers
Pasquils
written
in
that
Age
Satyrically
taunted
at
.
Which
is
not
set
down
here
,
to
vilifie
the
Scots
(
being
most
of
them
Gentlemen
that
had
deserved
well
of
their
Master
)
but
to
shew
,
how
cross
to
the
publick
Appetite
the
Hony-comb
is
,
that
another
man
eats
.
But
the
King
(
like
a
wise
Pilot
)
guided
the
Helm
with
so
even
an
hand
,
that
these
small
gusts
were
not
felt
.
It
behoved
him
to
play
his
Master-prize
in
the
Beginning
,
which
he
did
to
the
life
,
for
he
had
divers
opinions
,
humours
and
affections
to
grapple
with
,
as
well
as
Nations
,
and
't
is
a
very
calm
Sea
when
no
billow
rises
.
The
Romanists
bogled
,
that
he
said
in
his
Speech
,
They
were
unsufferable
in
the
Kingdom
,
as
long
as
they
maintained
the
Pope
to
be
their
Spiritual
Head
,
and
He
to
have
power
to
dethrone
Princes
.
The
Separatists
(
as
the
King
called
them
)
were
offended
at
that
Expression
,
wherein
he
professed
willingly
,
if
the
Papists
would
lay
down
King-killing
,
and
some
other
gross
errors
,
he
would
be
content
to
meet
them
half
way
.
So
that
every
one
grounded
his
hopes
,
or
his
fears
,
upon
the
shallows
of
his
own
fancy
,
not
knowng
yet
what
course
the
King
would
steer
.
But
these
sores
being
tenderly
dealt
with
,
did
not
suddenly
fester
,
but
were
skinned
over
.
The
King
desirous
of
the
Title
,
Pacificus
,
did
not
only
close
with
his
own
Subjects
,
but
healed
up
also
that
old
wound
that
had
bled
long
in
the
sides
of
England
and
Spain
,
both
being
weary
of
the
pain
,
both
willing
to
be
cured
.
The
King
of
Spain
,
sent
the
Constable
of
Castile
with
a
mighty
Train
of
smooth-handed
Spaniards
to
close
up
the
wound
on
this
side
,
where
(
the
old
Enmity
being
well
mortified
)
they
were
received
with
singular
Respect
and
Civility
.
The
King
of
England
sent
his
High
Admiral
,
the
Earl
of
Notingham
,
with
as
splendid
a
Retinue
of
English
,
to
close
it
on
that
:
Who
being
Personages
of
Quality
,
accoutred
with
all
Ornaments
suitable
,
were
the
more
admired
by
the
Spaniards
for
beauty
and
excellency
,
by
how
much
the
Iesuits
had
made
impressions
in
the
vulgar
opinion
,
That
since
the
English
left
the
Roman
Religion
,
they
were
transformed
into
strange
horrid
shapes
,
with
Heads
and
Tails
like
Beasts
and
Monsters
.
So
easie
it
is
for
those
Iuglers
,
when
they
have
once
bound
up
the
Conscience
,
to
tye
up
the
Vnderstanding
also
.

and

of

:
Which
Commissioners
shall
have
power
to
assemble
,
meet
,
treat
,
and
consult
with
certain
select
Commissioners
to
be
nominated
and
authorised
by
Authority
of
the
Parliament
of
Scotland
,
concerning
such
Matters
,
Causes
,
and
things
,
as
they
in
their
Wisdoms
shall
think
and
deem
convenient
and
necessary
,
for
the
honour
of
the
King
,
and
common
good
of
both
Kingdoms
.
Yet
the
good
intentions
of
this
Vnion
took
no
effect
,
as
will
follow
in
the
sequel
of
this
History
.
But
there
were
a
great
many
good
Laws
made
,
which
are
too
voluminous
for
this
place
,
having
a
proper
Sphere
of
their
own
to
move
in
.
Thus
the
King
sate
triumphing
as
it
were
,
upon
a
Throne
of
his
Peoples
Affections
;
and
his
beginnings
had
some
settlement
:
for
being
loth
to
be
troubled
,
he
sought
Peace
every-where
.
But
our
inbred
distempers
lay
upon
the
Lee
,
intermixt
with
other
gross
dregs
,
that
the
Princes
lenity
,
and
the
Peoples
luxury
produced
.
For
the
King
minding
his
sports
,
many
riotous
demeanours
crept
into
the
Kingdom
,
the
Sun-shine
of
Peace
being
apt
for
such
a
production
,
upon
the
slime
of
the
late
War
.
The
Sword
and
Buckler
trade
being
now
out
of
date
,
one
corruption
producing
another
(
the
City
of
London
being
always
a
fit
Receptacle
for
such
,
whose
prodigalities
and
wastes
made
them
Instruments
of
Debaucheries
)
divers
Sects
of
vitious
Persons
,
going
under
the
Title
of
Roaring
Boys
,
Roaring
Boys
.
Bravadoes
,
Roysters
,
&c.
commit
many
insolencies
;
the
Streets
swarm
night
and
day
with
bloody
quarrels
,
private
Duels
fomented
,
especially
betwixt
the
English
and
Scots
;
many
Discontents
nourished
in
the
Countries
,
betwixt
the
Gentry
and
Commonalty
,
about
Inclosure
(
the
meanest
gaping
after
new
hopes
)
growing
in
some
places
to
a
petty
Rebellion
.
Daily
discords
(
incident
to
peace
and
plenty
)
betwixt
private
Families
,
Papist
against
Protestant
,
one
Friend
against
another
;
the
Papists
being
a
strong
and
dangerous
Faction
,
missing
their
hopes
,
strove
to
make
the
Scots
more
odious
than
they
could
make
themselves
,
though
some
of
them
went
so
high
as
to
counterfeit
the
Kings
Privy-Seal
,
and
make
Addresses
thereby
to
Foreign
Princes
,
for
which
one
Thomas
Dowglas
,
taken
in
the
fact
,
was
executed
in
Smithfield
.
Others
were
so
insolent
,
as
to
quip
and
jear
the
English
Nobility
;
and
other
misdemeanours
,
which
caused
secret
heart-burnings
,
and
jealousies
betwixt
the
Nations
.
But
then
comes
a
Proclamation
,
like
a
strong
Pill
,
and
carries
away
the
grossest
of
these
humours
.
The
Gun-powder
Treason
.
Something
yet
stuck
,
especially
in
the
Consciences
of
the
Popish
Party
,
that
could
not
be
purged
away
without
a
Toleration
,
which
they
Petition
for
;
but
not
being
granted
,
they
contrived
one
of
the
most
Horrid
and
Stupendious
Mischiefs
,
that
ever
entred
into
the
Hearts
of
Men
:
For
their
heat
of
malice
would
not
be
quenched
with
the
Blood
Royal
,
but
the
Nobility
and
Gentry
,
the
Representative
Body
of
the
whole
Kingdom
,
United
at
Westminster
,
must
be
shattered
in
pieces
,
and
dis-membred
,
by
the
blast
of
six
and
thirty
Barrels
of
Gun-powder
,
which
those
dark
Contrivers
had
hid
in
a
Cellar
under
the
Parliament
House
,
being
discovered
by
a
light
from
Heaven
,
and
a
Letter
from
one
of
the
Conspirators
,
when
the
fire
was
already
in
their
hands
,
as
well
as
rage
in
their
hearts
,
to
put
to
the
Train
.
Principal
Actors
.
The
principal
of
these
Contrivers
,
was
,
Robert
Catesbie
,
a
Gentleman
of
a
good
plentiful
Estate
,
who
first
hatched
and
brooded
the
Plot
,
and
promised
to
himself
the
glory
of
an
Eternal
Name
,
by
the
Propagation
of
it
;
making
choyce
of
Thomas
GUY
FAWKES
.
Executed
in
the
Year
1606.
for
the
GUNPOWDER
PLOT
.
Percy
,
Robert
Winter
,
Thomas
Winter
,
Iohn
Grant
,
Ambrose
Rookwood
,
Iohn
Wright
,
Francis
Tresham
,
Sir
Everard
Digby
,
and
others
,
Gentlemen
of
good
Estates
(
for
the
most
part
)
and
spirits
as
implacable
and
furious
as
his
own
;
who
like
combustible
matter
took
fire
at
the
first
motion
,
their
zeal
to
the
Roman
cause
burning
within
them
,
which
nothing
but
the
blood
of
Innocents
can
quench
.
The
design
thus
set
afoot
,
they
bind
themselves
to
secresie
,
by
those
Sacraments
which
are
the
greatest
ties
upon
the
Soul
,
and
Saint
Garnet
the
Iesuit
was
their
Confessor
.
The
foundation
being
laid
,
every
man
betakes
himself
to
his
work
,
some
to
provide
money
,
some
materials
.
Percy
was
to
hire
the
Cellars
under
the
Parliament
House
,
to
lay
Wood
and
Coal
in
,
for
his
Winter-provision
:
Guido
Faux
,
a
desperate
Ruffian
(
who
was
to
give
fire
to
the
Train
)
was
appointed
to
be
his
man
to
bring
in
the
Wood
and
Coal
.
The
Gunpowder
provided
in
Flanders
,
is
brought
from
Lambeth
in
the
night
,
and
covertly
laid
under
the
Wood.
Thus
they
prepare
all
things
ready
for
a
Burnt-offering
,
against
the
day
the
Parliament
should
meet
,
1604.
which
was
to
be
upon
the
seventh
of
February
.
But
the
King
for
some
Reasons
of
State
(
which
at
that
time
the
dictates
of
Providence
did
much
approve
of
)
prorogued
the
Parliament
of
the
fifth
of
November
following
,
which
scattered
the
Contrivers
at
present
,
and
they
were
at
their
wits
end
;
and
some
of
them
went
beyond
Seas
,
because
they
would
not
beat
too
much
about
the
Covert
,
their
materials
being
fitted
;
others
that
staid
here
persisted
with
Patience
(
made
a
Vice
by
them
)
and
met
often
to
consult
how
they
should
manage
their
great
business
,
if
it
took
effect
.
They
looked
upon
the
King
and
Prince
,
as
already
sacrificed
to
their
Cruelty
:
And
Percy
undertook
to
dispatch
the
Duke
of
York
.
But
because
they
must
have
one
of
the
Blood
Royal
,
that
must
serve
as
a
center
to
adhere
to
,
to
keep
all
from
Confusion
,
they
meant
to
preserve
the
Lady
Elizabeth
,
and
make
her
Queen
,
that
under
her
minority
and
innocency
,
they
might
the
better
establish
their
bloody
Principles
of
Piety
and
Policy
.
They
had
designed
the
fatal
day
to
be
upon
the
fifth
of
November
,
when
the
King
and
both
Houses
were
to
meet
,
and
that
day
they
appointed
a
great
Hunting-match
at
Dunsmore-beach
in
Warwick-shire
,
to
be
nearer
the
Lord
Harington's
House
,
where
the
Lady
Elizabeth
was
.
And
they
had
by
their
horrid
Art
,
and
Experience
,
so
fitted
their
Matches
,
that
were
to
convey
the
fire
to
the
Powder
,
that
they
could
know
a
hundred
Miles
off
,
to
a
minute
,
when
that
Monstrous
Fiery
Exhalation
would
break
out
.
Solacing
themselves
in
this
bloody
expectation
,
and
thinking
their
Conveyances
under
ground
were
not
seen
above
by
the
Divine
Discoverer
,
they
stood
like
Vultures
gaping
for
their
Prey
;
when
,
behold
!
one
tender-hearted
Murderer
among
the
Pack

willing
to
save
the
Lord
Monteagle
,
writ
this
Letter
to
him
.
MY
Lord
,
out
of
the
love
I
bear
to
some
of
your
friends
,
I
have
a
care
of
your
Preservation
,
therefore
I
would
wish
you
(
as
you
tender
your
Life
)
to
forbear
your
attendance
at
this
Parliament
;
A
Letter
to
my
Lord
Monteagle
.
for
God
and
Man
have
concurred
to
punish
the
wickedness
of
this
Time
.
And
think
not
sleightly
of
this
advertisement
;
for
though
there
be
no
appearance
of
any
stir
,
yet
,
I
say
,
they
shall
receive
a
terrible
blow
this
Parliament
,
and
yet
they
shall
not
see
who
hurt
them
.
This
Counsel
is
not
to
be
contemned
,
because
it
may
do
you
Good
,
and
can
do
you
no
Harm:
for
the
danger
is
past
as
soon
as
you
have
burnt
this
Letter
.
I
hope
God
will
give
you
grace
to
make
use
of
it
,
to
whose
Holy
Protection
I
commend
you
.

Execution

In

This
Prodigious
Contrivance
did
not
only
stupifie

with
amazement

Foreign

made
their
Wonderment
also

Catholick
Cause
,
they
might
have
Conscience
enough
to
with
it
had
taken
Effect
;
yet
they
had
Policy
enough
to
Congratulate
the
Discovery
;
and
some
of
them
,
to
take
off
the
asperity
of
the
Suspect
,
sweetned
their
Expressions
with
many
rich
Gifts
,
and
Presents
,
to
the
King
and
Queen
.
But
this
bloody
Design
,
found
in
the
hand
of
the
Malefactors
,
grasping
the
Mischief
,
and
confirmed
by
their
own
Confessions
(
being
such
Spirits
as
were
fit
Boutefeus
for
so
desperate
an
Enterprize
)
was
notwithstanding
father'd
upon
the
Puritans
(
as
Nero
did
the
burning
of
Rome
upon
the
Christians
)
by
some
impudent
and
cunning
Iesuits
(
whose
practice
is
to
deceive
)
if
not
quite
to
clear
their
party
,
yet
by
stirring
this
muddy
water
,
to
make
that
which
is
in
it
to
appear
the
less
perspicuous
;
and
it
is
like
the
rest
of
their
Figments
,
fit
baits
for
Ignorance
to
nibble
on
:
Which
some
years
after
I
had
opportunity
at
Bruges
in
Flanders
,
to
make
Weston
,
an
old
Iesuit
,
active
in
the
Powder-plot
,
ingenuously
to
confess
.
The
Parliament
meet
the
9.
of
Novemb.
This
preceded
the
second
Sessions
of
the
first
Parliament
,
prorogued
till
the
fifth
of
November
,
and
upon
the
ninth
they
met
;
where
with
Hearts
full
of
Fears
and
Jealousies
,
they
ripped
up
the
ground
of
the
Machination
,
for
discovery
of
the
Complotters
;
and
laid
such
a
Foundation
of
good
Laws
against
Papists
,
as
might
serve
for
a
Bulwark
in
the
time
to
come
.
The
King
was
not
unmindful
of
the
Lord
Monteagle
,
the
first
Discoverer
of
this
Treason
,
for
he
gave
to
him
and
his
Heirs
for
ever
,
two
hundred
pounds
a
year
in
Fee-farm
Rents
,
and
five
hundred
pounds
a
year
besides
,
during
his
life
,
as
a
reward
for
this
good
service
.

Henry
Lord
Mordant
,
and
Edward
Lord
Stu●ton
,
not
coming
to
the
Parliament
according
to
their
Writ
of
Summons
,
were
suspected
to
have
knowledg
of
the
Conspiracy
,
and
so
was
the
Earl
of
Northumberland
from
some
presumptions
,
and
all
three
were
committed
to
the
Tower
.
The
two
Barons
(
after
some
imprisonment
)
were
redeemed
by
Fine
in
Star-chamber
,
but
the
Earl
continued
a
Prisoner
there
for
many
years
after
.
In
Iuly
this
year
the
King
of
Denmark
(
Brother
to
the
Queen
)
came
in
Person
as
a
visitor
,
The
King
of
Denmarks
first
coming
.
where
he
found
their
Shakings
somewhat
setled
,
their
Terrors
abated
,
and
met
with
not
only
all
those
varieties
that
Riches
,
Power
,
and
Plenty
are
capable
to
produce
for
satisfaction
,
where
will
and
affection
are
the
dispensers
,
but
he
beheld
with
admiration
the
stately
Theatre
,
whereon
the
Danes
for
many
hundred
of
years
had
acted
their
bloody
parts
:
But
how
he
resented
their
Exit
,
or
the
last
Act
of
that
black
Tragaedy
,
wherein
his
Country
lost
their
interest
,
some
Divine
Power
,
that
searches
the
capacious
hearts
of
Princes
can
only
discover
.
This
short
Month
of
his
stay
carryed
with
it
as
pleasing
a
countenance
on
every
side
,
and
of
their
Recreations
and
Pastimes
,
flew
as
high
a
flight
,
as
Love
mounted
upon
the
wings
of
art
and
fancy
,
the
sutable
nature
of
the
season
,
or
Times
swift
foot
could
possibly
arrive
at
.
The
Court
,
City
and
some
parts
of
the
Country
with
Banquetings
,
Masks
,
Dancings
,
Tilting
,
Barriers
,
and
other
Gallantry
(
besides
the
manly
Sports
of
Wrestling
,
and
the
brutish
Sports
of
bayting
Wild-beasts
)
swelled
to
such
a
greatness
,
as
if
there
were
an
intention
in
every
particular
man
,
this
way
to
have
blown
up
himself
.
The
seven
and
twentieth
of
May
last
,
the
Parliament
was
prorogued
to
the
eighteenth
of
November
following
;
The
fifth
of
Novemb.
made
Holy-day
.
but
before
they
parted
(
having
hearts
full
of
affection
for
Gods
great
deliverance
of
the
whole
Kingdom
from
ruin
and
destruction
)
they
made
an
Act
to
have
the
fifth
of
November
for
ever
solemnized
with
publick
Thanksgiving
:
Imputing
the
Discovery
of
the
Treason
to
Gods
inspiring
the
King
with
a
Divine
Spirit
to
interpret
some
dark
phrases
of
the
Letter
,
above
,
and
beyond
all
ordinary
construction
.
They
attainted
the
blood
of
those
Traitors
that
were
Executed
,
as
also
,
those
that
were
slain
in
the
field
,
or
dyed
in
Prison
.
They
made
many
good
Laws
,
for
the
discovering
and
suppressing
of
Popish
Recusants
.
And
gave
the
King
three
intire
Subsidies
and
six
Fifteens
.
Besides
four
Subsidies
of
four
shillings
in
the
pound
granted
by
the
Clergy
.
But
they
put
off
the
Treaty
of
Vnion
,
by
an
Act
that
referred
it
to
be
done
as
well
any
other
Session
of
Parliament
,
so
willing
they
were
to
keep
close
to
the
Kings
affections
,
and
not
to
start
from
him
.
But
the
next
Session
(
the
King
being
loth
to
be
longer
delayed
)
the
business
of
the
Vnion
was
much
pressed
again
,
by
some
that
knew
the
Kings
mind
,
among
whom
,
Sir
Francis
Bacon
(
now
the
Kings
Solicitor
)
was
a
principal
Instrument
,
who
came
prepared
for
it
,
and
first
moved
the
House
of
Commons
,
that
the
Scots
might
be
Naturalized
by
Act
of
Parliament
;
which
was
opposed
by
divers
strong
and
modest
Arguments
.
Among
which
they
brought
in
the
comparison
of
Abraham
and
Lot
,
Arguments
about
a
Union
.
whose
Families
joyning
,
they
grew
to
difference
,
and
to
those
words
,
Vade
tu
ad
dextram
,
&
ego
ad
sinistram
.
It
was
answered
,
That
Speech
brought
the
captivity
of
the
one
,
they
having
dis-joyned
their
strength
.
The
Party
opposing
said
,
If
we
admit
them
into
our
Liberties
,
we
shall
be
over-run
with
them
,
as
Cattle
(
naturally
)
pent
up
by
a
slight
Hedg
,
will
over
it
into
a
better
soyl
,
and
a
Tree
taken
from
a
barren
place
will
thrive
to
excessive
,
and
exuberant
Branches
in
a
better
,
witness
the
multiplicities
of
the
Scots
in
Polonia
,
To
which
it
was
answer'd
,
That
if
they
had
not
means
,
place
,
custom
,
and
imployment
(
not
like
Beasts
but
Men
)
they
would
starve
in
a
plentiful
soyl
,
though
they
came
into
it
;
and
what
spring-tide
and
confluence
of
that
Nation
have
housed
and
familied
themselves
among
us
,
these
four
years
of
the
Kings
reign
?
And
they
will
never
live
so
meanly
here
as
they
do
in
Polonia
;
for
they
had
rather
discover
their
poverty
abroad
than
at
home
.
Besides
,
there
is
a
question
whether
England
be
fully
peopled
,
witness
the
drowned
Grounds
,
and
Common-wasts
;
the
ruins
and
decays
of
ancient
Towns
in
this
Realm
;
Witness
how
many
serve
in
the
Parliament
for
desolate
Burroughs
;
Witness
our
Wasts
by
Sea
,
as
well
as
by
Land
,
suffering
the
Flemings
to
carry
away
all
our
Fishing
,
the
sinews
of
our
industry
being
slackned
,
we
want
active
spirits
to
corroborate
them
by
their
example
:
Besides
the
planting
Ireland
,
fully
abounding
with
Rivers
,
Havens
,
Woods
,
Quarries
,
good
Soyl
,
and
temperate
Climate
.
No
surcharge
of
people
hath
been
prejudicial
to
Countreys
,
the
worst
will
be
an
honourable
War
,
to
recover
our
ancient
Rights
,
or
revenge
our
Injuries
,
or
to
attain
to
the
honour
of
our
Ancestors
.
We
should
not
forget
the
consideration
of
Amplitude
and
Greatness
,
and
fall
at
variance
about
Profit
,
and
Recknings
,
fitter
for
private
persons
than
Kingdoms
.
The
other
side
objected
,
That
the
Fundamental
Laws
of
both
Kingdoms
are
divers
,
and
it
is
declared
,
they
shall
so
continue
,
and
therefore
it
would
not
be
reasonable
to
proceed
to
this
Naturalization
,
whereby
to
indow
them
with
our
Rights
,
except
they
should
receive
,
and
submit
to
our
Laws
.

It
was
answered
,
That
in
the
Administration
of
the
World
under
God
,
the
great
Monarch
,
his
Laws
are
divers
;
one
Law
in
Spirits
,
another
in
Bodies
,
one
Law
in
Regions
Celestial
,
another
in
Elementary
,
and
yet
the
Creatures
are
all
one
mass
,
or
lump
.
That
in
the
state
of
the
Church
,
among
People
of
several
languages
,
and
lineages
,
there
is
a
Communion
of
Saints
,
and
we
are
all
fellow-Citizens
,
and
Naturalizants
of
the
Heavenly
Ierusalem
,
and
yet
divers
Ecclesiastical
Laws
,
Policies
,
and
Hierarchies
;
for
the
Laws
are
rather
Figura
Republicae
,
than
Forma
;
rather
bonds
of
Perfection
,
than
Intireness
.
That
in
Ireland
,
Iersey
,
G●rnsey
,
and
the
Isle
of
Man
,
our
Common
Laws
are
not
in
force
,
and
yet
they
have
the
benefit
of
Naturalization
.
To
which
it
was
replyed
,
that
these
are
only
Flourishes
of
Rhetorick
;
for
God
(
who
is
the
only
Disposer
of
all
his
Creatures
)
keeps
them
in
Order
and
Obedience
to
Him
,
by
a
Law
which
they
cannot
deviate
from
,
unless
he
withdraws
his
preserving
Hand
from
them
:
But
betwixt
Man
and
Man
,
or
Realm
and
Realm
,
there
can
be
no
such
Tie
,
or
Obligation
,
to
hold
an
Vnity
,
where
they
have
various
Laws
,
and
various
Priviledges
.
And
for
the
immunities
given
to
the
Irish
(
for
some
Ages
past
)
they
were
English
Colonies
sent
there
to
plant
,
being
a
great
part
of
them
Natives
with
us
,
of
the
same
blood
and
stock
,
with
whom
we
are
ingrafted
by
Time
,
and
made
(
as
it
were
)
one
Body
,
the
better
to
secure
their
obedience
,
and
hinder
any
League
or
Amity
with
a
Foreign
Nation
.
But
Scotland
hath
an
intire
Vnion
with
the
French
,
continued
for
some
hundreds
of
years
,
that
is
indissolvable
,
and
therefore
incompetent
,
yet
to
the
freedoms
of
England
.
When
we
have
had
as
much
experience
of
the
Friendship
of
Scotland
,
as
of
them
,
we
shall
incline
to
a
more
intimate
Vnion
.
Besides
there
is
an
inequality
in
the
Portunes
of
the
two
Nations
;
and
by
this
Commixture
,
there
may
ensue
advantage
to
them
,
and
loss
to
us
.
To
the
latter
part
was
answered
,
Beatius
est
dare
quàm
accipere
:
And
Edward
the
First
,
among
other
Commendations
of
War
,
and
Policy
,
none
was
more
celebrated
than
his
purpose
and
enterprize
,
for
the
Conquest
of
Scotland
;
as
not
bending
his
Designs
to
glorious
Acquests
abroad
,
but
solid
strength
at
home
;
which
,
if
it
had
succeded
,
could
not
but
have
brought
in
those
inconveniences
,
of
the
Commixture
of
a
more
opulent
Kingdom
with
a
less
;
for
it
is
not
the
yoke
either
of
Laws
or
Arms
,
that
can
alter
the
nature
of
the
Climate
,
or
the
nature
of
the
Soil
;
neither
is
it
the
manner
of
the
Commixture
,
that
can
alter
the
nature
of
the
Commixture
;
and
therefore
if
it
were
good
for
us
then
,
it
is
good
for
us
now
;
and
not
to
be
prized
the
less
,
because
we
paid
not
so
dear
for
it
.
They
strive
further
to
prove
,
That
the
benefit
of
Naturalization
is
by
Law
,
to
as
many
as
have
been
,
or
shall
be
born
,
since
the
Kings
coming
to
the
Crown
;
for
there
is
no
more
than
to
bring
the
Ante-nati
unto
the
degree
of
Post-nati
,
that
Men
grown
may
be
in
no
worse
case
than
Children
,
and
elder
Brothers
in
no
worse
condition
than
younger
Brothers
.
That
if
any
object
the
Law
is
not
so
,
but
that
the
Post-nati
are
Aliens
as
the
rest
,
it
is
contrary
to
the
Reason
of
Law
.
The
Wisdom
of
the
Common
Laws
of
England
is
admirable
,
in
distribution
of
the
Benefit
,
and
Perfection
of
the
Law
,
according
to
the
several
conditions
of
Persons
,
The
Degrees
are
four
,
two
of
Aliens
,
and
two
of
Subjects
:
The
first
Degree
is
of
an
Alien
born
under
a
King
or
State
,
that
is
an
Enemy
;
if
such
an
one
come
into
the
Kingdom
without
safe
conduct
,
it
is
at
his
peril
,
the
Law
giveth
him
no
protection
,
neither
of
Body
,
Lands
,
nor
Goods
;
so
as
if
he
be
slain
,
there
is
no
remedy
by
any
appeal
,
at
the
Parties
sute
,
though
she
were
an
English
Woman
;
though
at
the
Kings
sute
the
Case
may
be
otherwise
,
in
regard
of
the
offence
to
the
Peace
,
and
Crown
,
The
second
Degree
is
of
an
Alien
that
is
born
under
Faith
and
Allegiance
of
a
King
,
or
State
,
that
is
a
Friend
;
unto
such
a
Person
the
Law
doth
impart
a
greater
benefit
and
protection
concerning
things
personal
,
transitory
,
and
moveable
,
as
Goods
and
Chattels
,
Contracts
,
and
the
like
,
but
not
concerning
Free-hold
,
and
Inheritance
;
and
the
Reason
is
,
because
he
may
be
an
Enemy
,
though
he
be
not
;
for
the
State
where
he
was
born
,
may
enter
into
Hostility
;
and
therefore
as
the
Law
hath
but
a
Transitory
assurance
of
him
,
so
it
rewards
him
with
Transitory
benefits
.
The
third
Degree
is
of
a
Subject
,
who
having
been
an
Alien
,
is
made
free
by
Charter
,
and
Denization
:
To
such
a
one
the
Law
doth
impart
yet
a
more
ample
benefit
,
for
it
gives
him
a
power
to
purchase
Free-hold
,
and
Inheritance
to
his
own
use
,
and
likewise
inables
his
Children
(
born
after
his
Denization
)
to
inherit
:
But
yet
he
cannot
make
Title
,
or
convey
any
Pedigree
from
any
Ancestour
Paramount
;
for
the
Law
thinks
not
good
to
make
him
in
the
same
Degree
with
a
Subject
born
,
because
he
was
once
an
Alien
,
and
so
might
have
been
an
Enemy
;
and
Affections
cannot
be
so
setled
by
any
benefit
,
as
when
from
their
Nativity
they
are
inbred
,
and
inherent
.
The
fourth
Degree
,
and
the
perfect
Degree
,
is
of
such
a
Person
,
as
neither
is
Enemy
,
nor
can
be
Enemy
in
time
to
come
,
nor
would
have
been
Enemy
at
any
time
past
;
and
therefore
the
Law
gives
unto
him
the
full
benefit
of
Naturalization
.
Now
if
these
be
the
true
steps
and
paces
of
the
Law
,
no
man
can
deny
,
but
whosoever
is
born
under
the
Kings
obedience
,
never
could
,
in
aliquo
puncto
temporis
,
be
an
Enemy
;
and
therefore
in
reason
of
Law
is
Naturalized
.
So
though
the
Scots
seem
to
be
in
Reason
,
Naturales
ipso
jure
,
yet
it
is
not
superfluous
to
have
it
done
by
Parliament
;
for
it
will
shew
the
World
our
love
to
them
,
and
good
agreement
with
them
.
Then
they
shewed
by
authority
of
History
,
and
Experience
,
the
Inconveniencies
that
may
grow
,
if
this
Vnion
of
Naturalization
doth
not
close
,
and
bind
up
the
Veins
,
so
as
to
make
it
one
perfect
Body
;
For
else
it
may
be
apt
to
open
,
and
break
out
again
upon
all
occasions
,
and
relapse
to
the
detriment
of
both
:
Ripping
up
ancient
Stories
of
the
Romans
and
Latines
,
and
the
Wars
they
had
,
meerly
for
want
of
this
Vnion
,
and
never
were
at
quiet
till
they
injoyed
it
.
Then
between
the
Peloponnesians
,
and
the
Spartans
the
like
.
And
from
ancient
Stories
to
the
Kingdom
of
Arragon
and
Castile
,
united
in
the
Persons
of
Ferdinando
and
Isabella
,
severed
and
divided
from
the
rest
of
Spain
in
Priviledges
,
and
directly
in
this
point
of
Naturalization
,
or
capacity
of
Inheritance
.
But
what
came
of
this
?
A
Rebellion
grew
among
them
,
which
a
Royal
Army
with
difficulty
suppressed
,
and
(
they
being
made
one
incorporated
Body
with
the
rest
of
Spain
)
perpetuated
Peace
to
Posterity
.
The
like
example
was
betwixt
Florence
and
Pisa.
And
whatsoever
Kingdoms
and
States
have
been
United
,
and
that
Vnion
corroborated
by
the
Bonds
of
Naturalization
,
you
shall
never
observe
them
afterward
,
upon
any
occasion
to
break
or
sever
again
:
Whereof
divers
Provinces
in
France
,
by
time
annexed
to
that
Crown
,
are
further
witnesses
.
So
that
except
they
proceed
to
this
Naturalization
,
these
Realms
will
be
in
continual
danger
to
divide
and
break
again
.
Next
they
shew
the
Benefits
to
be
Security
and
Greatness
.
Surety
,
by
stopping
up
the
Postern-gates
of
our
Enemies
,
so
that
we
shall
not
be
so
much
a
temptation
to
the
ambition
of
Foreigners
,
when
their
Approaches
and
Avenues
are
taken
away
:
For
having
so
little
success
when
they
had
these
advantages
,
they
will
have
less
comfort
when
they
want
them
.
And
Greatness
by
this
Vnion
must
needs
follow
:
For
having
so
many
Iron-handed
men
in
these
three
Kingdoms
,
we
shall
not
only
pluck
Gold
from
the
(
once
poor
)
Spaniards
Indian-mines
,
but
by
our
Arms
keep
in
awe
the
whole
Christian
World
.
These
Arguments
prest
with
gilded
Oratory
by
the
Solicitor
and
his
partakers
,
could
not
prevail
,
though
urged
with
all
the
power
Wit
could
invent
,
or
Hope
aim
at
:
For
being
new
budded
in
Court
,
he
was
one
of
those
that
smoothed
his
way
to
a
full
ripeness
;
by
liqu●rish
and
pleasing
passages
,
which
he
at
last
attained
to
,
being
made
Lord
Chancellor
of
England
.
But
such
sweets
,
though
delightful
at
present
,
breed
rottenness
in
the
end
:
for
he
withered
,
and
came
to
nothing
,
as
in
due
time
shall
be
expressed
.
But
the
King
(
like
a
great
Sea
)
being
troubled
when
such
cross-winds
are
boistrous
,
sent
for
both
Houses
of
Parliament
to
White-hall
hall
the
last
of
March
,
An.
Reg.
5.
An.
Christi
1607.
1607.
to
calm
them
;
where
betwixt
a
Sun-shine
of
fair
Words
,
and
a
Cloud
of
Anger
,
he
colours
over
some
of
the
Arguments
that
had
been
used
,
and
urges
others
for
his
best
advantage
,
with
a
plain
natural
bluntness
fit
for
Kings
.
He
tells
them
,
The
Kings
Speech
to
the
Parliament
about
the
Union
.
the
Vnion
he
desires
,
is
of
Laws
and
Persons
,
such
a
Naturalizing
as
may
make
one
Body
of
both
Kingdoms
;
that
as
there
is
but
Vnus
Rex
,
so
there
may
be
but
Vnus
Grex
,
&
Vna
Lex
.
His
intention
is
not
,
as
some
idly
alledg
,
to
give
England
the
labour
and
sweat
,
and
Scotland
the
fruit
and
sweet
,
vainly
talking
of
transplanting
Trees
out
of
barren
ground
into
better
,
and
lean
Cattle
out
of
bad
pasture
into
a
more
fertile
soyl
.
Can
any
man
displant
them
unless
they
will
?
Or
is
Scotland
so
strong
,
to
pull
them
out
of
their
houses
?
Whereas
the
waste
grounds
in
Scotland
would
rather
be
planted
by
Swarms
of
People
that
cumber
the
Streets
here
.
First
,
He
desires
that
all
Hostile
Laws
should
cease
,
being
the
King
of
England
cannot
make
War
with
the
King
of
Scotland
.
Secondly
,
That
there
should
be
Community
of
Commerce
,
he
being
no
Stranger
,
but
descended
of
their
ancient
Kings
:
and
how
can
he
be
Natural
Liege-Lord
to
both
,
and
they
Strangers
to
one
another
?
And
shall
they
that
be
under
the
same
Allegiance
be
no
freer
,
nor
have
no
better
Respect
than
Frenchmen
and
Spaniards
?
Thirdly
,
They
all
agree
they
are
no
Aliens
,
and
yet
will
not
allow
them
to
be
Natural
.
That
he
was
informed
by
their
own
Iudges
and
Lawyers
,
at
his
first
access
to
the
Crown
,
that
there
was
a
difference
between
the
Ante
and
Post-nati
of
each
Kingdom
;
which
caused
him
to
publish
a
Proclamation
,
that
the
Post-nati
were
Naturalized
by
his
accession
;
but
he
confesses
,
Iudges
may
err
,
so
may
the
Lawyer
's
on
their
side
:
Therefore
he
admonishes
them
to
beware
to
disgrace
,
either
his
Proclamations
,
or
the
Iudges
,
for
so
they
may
disgrace
both
their
King
and
Laws
;
who
have
power
,
when
the
Parliament
is
ended
,
to
try
them
both
for
Lands
and
Lives
.
And
for
some
of
them
who
with
their
flattering
speeches
would
have
the
Ante-nati
preferred
,
alledging
their
merit
in
my
service
,
such
Discourses
have
mel
in
ore
,
&
fel
in
corde
;
carrying
an
outward
appearance
of
love
to
the
Vnion
,
but
a
contrary
resolution
in
their
hearts
.
For
the
King
would
have
them
know
,
it
lies
within
the
compass
of
his
Prerogative
to
prefer
whom
he
pleases
to
any
Dignity
Civil
or
Ecclesiastical
.
But
he
is
so
far
from
prejudicing
the
English
,
that
he
is
willing
to
bind
himself
to
reasonable
Restrictions
.
Besides
,
it
is
a
special
Point
of
the
Kings
Prerogative
,
to
make
Aliens
,
Citizens
;
and
in
any
case
wherein
the
Law
is
thought
not
to
be
clear
,
Rex
est
Iudex
;
for
he
is
Lex
loquens
,
supplying
the
Law
where
it
wants
.
But
this
he
speaks
as
knowing
what
belongs
to
a
King
,
not
intending
to
press
it
further
than
may
agree
with
their
loves
,
and
stand
with
the
conveniency
of
both
Nations
.
The
inconveniences
supposed
to
arise
from
Scotland
,
are
pretended
to
be
,
-
1.
An
evil
affection
in
the
Scots
to
the
Vnion
.
-
2.
That
the
Vnion
is
incompetible
.
-
3.
That
the
Gain
is
small
,
or
none
.
If
this
be
so
,
Why
is
there
talk
of
an
Vnion
?
For
the
first
,
They
alledg
the
averseness
of
the
Scots
,
from
the
Preface
,
and
Body
of
their
Act
;
where
they
decare
,
they
will
remain
an
absolute
and
free
Monarchy
,
and
not
alter
the
Fundamental
Laws
of
the
Kingdom
.
And
yet
in
the
beginning
of
this
Session
of
Parliament
,
the
opinion
was
current
,
that
Scotland
was
greedy
of
this
Vnion
,
and
pursued
it
with
so
much
violence
,
that
they
cared
not
for
the
strictness
of
the
Conditions
,
so
they
might
attain
the
substance
,
and
end
.
And
yet
they
now
say
,
they
are
backwards
,
which
is
a
Contradiction
;
for
how
can
they
both
beg
and
deny
the
same
thing
,
at
one
and
the
same
time
?
And
by
preserving
their
Fundamental
Laws
,
they
mean
,
those
Laws
by
which
Confusion
is
avoided
,
and
their
Kings
Succession
,
and
Monarchy
maintained
.
To
which
he
Declares
,
That
he
is
in
descent
three
hundred
years
before
Christ
,
not
meaning
(
as
they
do
)
their
Common
Law
;
for
the
Scots
have
no
Law
but
that
which
is
Ius
Regis
.
And
for
their
desire
of
continuing
a
free
Monarchy
,
he
hopes
they
mean
not
he
should
set
Garrisons
over
them
,
as
the
Spaniards
do
over
Sicily
and
Naples
.
And
then
he
tells
them
,
That
he
governs
Scotland
with
his
Pen
;
he
writes
,
and
doth
more
by
a
Clerk
of
the
Council
,
than
others
could
do
by
the
Sword
.
And
though
he
knows
there
are
many
seditious
Persons
in
that
Kingdom
,
that
may
talk
lewdly
enough
,
yet
none
of
them
ever
spake
dishonourably
of
England
,
as
they
have
done
of
Scotland
:
For
if
any
man
speaks
any
thing
uncomely
there
,
the
Chancellor
by
his
Authority
interrupts
him
;
but
here
they
have
freedom
to
speak
what
they
list
,
and
as
long
as
they
list
,
without
contradiction
.
Then
the
King
shews
what
the
Laws
of
Scotland
are
.
1.
Those
which
concern
Tenures
,
Wards
,
Liveries
,
Signiories
,
and
Lands
,
are
drawn
out
of
the
Chancery
of
England
,
brought
by
Iames
the
First
(
who
was
bred
up
here
)
and
differ
only
in
terms
.
The
second
are
Statute
Laws
,
to
which
he
hopes
they
will
be
no
Strangers
.
The
third
is
the
Civil
Law
,
brought
out
of
France
by
Iames
the
Fifth
;
and
serve
only
to
supply
in
such
Cases
,
where
the
Municipal
Laws
are
defective
:
So
that
he
hopes
it
is
no
hard
matter
to
unite
the
People
together
,
who
are
in
effect
already
subject
to
the
same
Law
.
And
whereas
it
is
Objected
,
that
the
King
of
Scotland
hath
not
a
Negative
Voice
in
Parliament
,
but
must
pass
the
Laws
agreed
on
by
the
Lords
and
Commons
:
He
assures
them
,
that
the
form
of
Parliament
there
,
is
nothing
inclined
to
Popularity
:
For
about
twenty
days
before
the
Parliament
begins
,
Proclamation
is
made
throughout
the
Kingdom
,
that
all
Bills
to
be
exhibited
that
Session
,
be
delivered
to
the
Master
of
the
Rolls
by
a
certain
day
:
Then
they
are
brought
to
the
King
,
perused
,
and
considered
by
him
;
and
only
such
as
he
allows
,
are
put
into
the
Chancellors
hand
,
to
be
propounded
that
Parliament
,
and
no
other
.
And
if
any
man
speak
of
any
other
Matter
than
is
in
this
Form
first
allowed
by
him
,
the
Chancellor
tells
him
,
that
there
is
no
such
Bill
allowed
by
the
King
:
And
when
they
are
past
for
Laws
,
he
ratifies
and
confirms
them
,
first
racing
out
what
he
doth
not
approve
of
.
And
if
this
be
to
be
called
a
Negative
Voice
in
Parliament
,
then
he
hath
one
.
For
the
Vnion
betwixt
the
French
and
the
Scots
,
which
makes
this
Vnion
so
incompetible
;
he
assures
them
,
it
was
a
League
only
made
between
the
Kings
,
not
the
People
.
For
Scotland
being
solicited
by
England
and
France
at
one
Time
,
for
a
League
Offensive
and
Defensive
,
against
each
others
Enemies
.
There
was
a
great
Disputation
maintained
in
favour
of
England
,
that
they
being
our
Neighbours
joyned
in
one
Continent
,
a
strong
and
Powerful
Nation
,
it
would
be
more
Security
to
the
State
of
Scotland
to
joyn
in
Amity
with
England
,
than
with
France
,
divided
by
the
Sea
,
where
they
must
abide
the
hazard
of
wind
and
weather
,
and
other
Accidents
that
might
hinder
relief
.
But
on
the
contrary
,
it
was
alledged
in
the
favour
of
France
,
That
England
ever
sought
to
conquer
Scotland
,
and
therefore
there
would
never
be
kept
any
sound
Amity
:
Whereas
France
,
lying
more
remote
,
claimed
no
interest
,
and
therefore
would
be
found
a
more
constant
and
faithful
Friend
;
so
it
was
concluded
on
their
Part.
But
by
the
Tenour
it
was
ordered
to
be
renewed
,
and
confirmed
from
King
to
King
successively
,
by
the
mediation
of
their
Ambassadors
,
and
therefore
merely
personal
.
And
so
it
was
renewed
in
the
Queen
his
Mothers
time
,
but
not
by
assent
in
Parliament
;
which
it
could
not
have
wanted
,
if
it
had
been
a
League
of
the
People
:
And
in
the
Kings
Time
,
when
it
came
to
be
ratified
,
because
it
appeared
to
be
in
Odium
Tertii
,
it
was
by
him
left
un-renewed
,
in
consideration
of
his
Title
to
the
Crown
.

.
This
urged
with
asseveration
might
have
wrought
much
with
the
Parliament
,
The
Parliament
declined
the
Union
.
but
that
they
apprehended
a
great
inconvenience
in
such
an
Vnion
,
where
the
Laws
and
Government
are
of
different
natures
.
All
were
not
Romans
that
were
born
subjects
to
the
Roman
Empire
,
though
St.
Paul
was
born
one
,
the
Centurion
was
a
purchaser
.
For
notwithstanding
all
the
former
Arguments
by
the
King
,
and
his
Ministers
,
the
Parliament
knew
that
it
is
true
,
That
if
Scotland
had
been
Conquered
,
the
only
way
to
tie
them
to
obedience
,
were
to
let
them
taste
the
sweets
of
English
Liberties
.
But
to
let
them
sit
Triumphing
upon
their
own
priviledges
,
and
roam
about
among
the
English
Freedoms
,
were
to
make
them
straggle
too
much
.
The
Scots
would
not
lessen
,
nor
in
the
least
derogate
from
the
dignity
of
their
long
continued
Monarchy
,
and
the
English
thought
they
had
no
reason
to
come
to
them
to
derogate
from
themselves
.
The
Parliament
only
feared
the
Kings
Power
would
have
such
an
influence
upon
the
Iudges
of
the
Kingdom
;
that
the
Scots
would
be
naturalized
too
soon
,
they
were
resolved
not
to
be
accessary
to
it
:
which
indeed
some
two
years
after
was
confirmed
in
Calvins
case
of
post-nati
,
reported
by
the
Lord
Chief
Justice
Cook
,
who
was
fit
metal
for
any
stamp
Royal
,
and
adjudged
by
him
,
the
Lord
Chancellor
Ellesmere
,
and
most
of
the
Judges
of
the
Kingdom
in
the
Exchequer-Chamber
,
though
many
strong
and
valid
Arguments
were
brought
against
it
(
such
Power
is
in
the
breath
of
Kings
!
)
and
such
soft
stuff
are
Judges
made
of
,
that
they
can
vary
their
Precedents
,
and
model
them
into
as
many
shapes
as
they
please
.
And
thus
this
Case
stood
like
a
Statue
cloathed
by
the
Lord
Chief
Justice
in
the
vulgar
Language
(
when
the
rest
of
his
Reports
spoke
an
unknown
Tongue
)
that
the
Kingdom
might
take
more
particular
notice
,
that
the
Scots
were
as
free
in
England
as
themselves
,
yet
it
fell
not
out
to
their
wishes
.
But
all
that
could
be
gotten
from
the
Parliament
,
was
,
That
the
Laws
of
hostility
that
were
anciently
made
betwixt
England
and
Scotland
were
repealed
,
that
the
old
grudges
which
caused
the
Dis-union
(
the
War
in
the
members
)
might
be
taken
away
.
And
in
the
said
Act
they
provided
,

That
if
a
natural
born
subject
of
England
did
commit
any
misdemeanour
in
Scotland
,
and
sly
into
England
,
he
should
be
tried
where
he
was
taken
,
and
not
carried
into
Scotland
to
receive
his
judgment
there
;
Till
such
time
(
which
are
the
very
words
of
the
Act
)
as
both
Kingdoms
shall
be
made
one
in
Laws
and
Government
,
which
is
the
thing
so
much
desired
,
as
that
wherein
the
full
perfection
of
the
blessed
Vnion
(
already
begun
in
the
Kings
Royal
person
)
consisteth
.
And
further
they
went
not
:
For
they
found
and
feared
the
old
enmity
would
yet
a
while
continue
;
for
since
the
Kings
coming
into
England
,
the
loose
and
uncomposed
Borderers
,
that
lived
upon
rapine
and
spoil
(
seeking
new
benefits
from
new
changes
)
had
broke
out
and
committed
many
insolencies
,
who
though
they
were
suppressed
by
the
Forces
of
Barwick
and
Carlile
,
and
many
of
them
suffered
in
it
,
yet
custom
and
habit
had
bred
in
them
a
natural
Ferity
,
which
could
only
be
restrained
by
giving
freedom
to
the
Laws
,
that
within
a
short
time
gave
bound
to
that
barbarous
animosity
.
The
Laws
made
in
Scotland
to
the
prejudice
of
the
English
were
likewise
repealed
there
,
so
that
all
passages
were
made
smooth
on
both
sides
.
This
Session
also
produced
divers
good
Laws
for
the
benefit
of
the
Common-wealth
.
But
this
Session
brought
in
no
money
,
that
is
as
the
blood
of
the
Subject
,
which
He
(
as
a
wise
Physician
)
would
not
strain
from
them
the
ordinary
way
,
lest
the
sense
of
it
should
bring
the
more
fears
and
faintings
with
it
,
but
by
laying
on
little
Burthens
at
first
,
he
not
only
inured
them
to
bear
greater
,
but
made
them
sweat
out
some
of
that
humor
insensibly
,
though
they
felt
it
afterward
,
when
they
found
the
weight
laid
upon
their
shoulders
,
only
(
as
they
conceived
)
to
daub
other
mens
with
bravery
.
For
the
Kings
Bounty
was
seen
by
the
vulgar
eye
to
overflow
in
many
little
Rivulets
,
who
knew
the
golden
streams
that
out-faced
the
Sun
came
not
from
the
Norths
cold
climate
,
but
were
drained
out
of
the
fountains
of
their
labor
.
They
could
not
endure
to
see
their
fellow
Subjects
grow
fat
,
by
what
should
be
their
nourishment
.
Collecting
that
the
King
had
received
three
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
pounds
subsidies
,
due
to
the
late
Queen
,
besides
what
the
Parliament
had
given
him
.
And
fearing
that
Proclamations
(
who
were
indeed
very
active
Ministers
)
would
now
become
Laws
,
ushering
in
the
Kings
will
with
large
strides
upon
the
peoples
Liberties
,
who
lay
down
while
they
stept
over
them
.
The
ingenious
sort
,
sensible
of
this
incroaching
Monarchy
,
brake
out
into
private
murmur
,
which
by
degrees
(
being
of
a
light
nature
)
carried
a
Cloud
with
it
,
by
which
the
wise
Pilots
of
the
State
,
foreseeing
a
Storm
gathering
,
strive
to
dissipate
it
the
next
Session
of
Parliament
,
which
was
held
the
nineteenth
of
February
,
in
the
seventh
year
of
our
Kings
Reign
.
Thomas
Sackville
Earl
of
Dorset
Not
long
after
this
,
An.
Reg.
7.
An.
Christi
1609.
the
Earl
of
Dorset
,
Lord
High
Treasurer
,
died
suddenly
,
as
he
sate
at
the
Council
Table
;
which
gave
occasion
to
some
persons
disaffected
to
him
(
as
what
eminent
Officer
that
hath
the
managing
of
Moneys
can
please
all
?
)
to
speak
many
things
to
his
Dishonour
.
The
death
of
the
Earl
of
Dorset
suddenly
.
But
they
considered
not
,
that
besides
the
Black
worm
and
the
White
(
day
and
night
,
as
the
Riddle
is
)
that
are
gnawing
constantly
at
the
root
of
this
tree
of
Life
,
there
are
many
insensible
Diseases
,
as
Apoplexies
,
whose
Vapors
suddenly
extinguish
the
Animal
Spirits
;
and
Apostems
both
in
the
upper
,
and
middle
Region
of
Man
,
that
often
drown
and
suffocate
both
Animal
and
Vital
;
who
are
like
imbodyed
Twins
,
the
one
cannot
live
without
the
other
;
if
the
Animal
Spirits
fail
,
the
Vital
cannot
subsist
,
if
the
Vitals
perish
,
the
Animal
give
over
their
operations
.
And
He
that
judges
ill
of
such
an
Act
of
Providence
,
may
have
the
same
hand
,
at
the
same
time
,
writing
within
the
Palace
walls
of
his
own
Body
,
the
same
Period
to
his
Lives
earthly
Empire
.
The
Earl
of
Salisbury
succeeded
him
,
The
Earl
of
Salisbury
made
Treasurer
.
a
man
nourished
with
the
milk
of
Policy
,
under
his
father
the
Lord
Burley
(
famous
for
Wisdom
in
his
Generation
)
a
Courtier
from
his
infancy
,
Batteld
by
Art
,
and
Industry
,
under
the
late
Queen
,
mother
of
her
Country
.
Though
Nature
was
not
propitious
to
his
Outside
(
being
Crooked
backt
)
She
supplied
that
want
with
admirable
indowments
within
.
This
man
the
King
found
Secretary
,
and
Master
of
the
Wards
;
and
to
these
he
added
the
Treasurers
staff
,
knowing
him
to
be
the
staff
of
his
Treasury
:
For
he
had
knowledg
enough
to
pry
into
other
Mens
Offices
aswell
as
his
own
,
and
knew
the
ways
of
disbursing
the
Kings
moneys
.
The
Earl
of
Northhampton
,
he
made
Lord
Privy
Seal
;
and
these
were
the
two
prime
wheels
of
his
triumphant
Chariot
.
The
Earl
of
Suffolk
was
made
Lord
Chamberlain
before
,
but
he
came
far
behind
in
the
management
of
the
Kings
affairs
,
being
a
Spirit
of
a
more
Grosser
Temper
,
fitter
to
part
a
fray
,
and
Compose
the
differences
of
a
disordered
Court
,
than
a
Kingdom
.
Upon
the
Shoulders
of
the
two
first
the
King
laid
the
Burthen
of
his
business
:
For
though
he
had
many
Lords
his
Creatures
,
some
by
Creation
,
and
some
by
insinuation
(
for
Kings
will
never
want
supple-hand
Courtiers
)
and
the
Bishops
,
being
his
Dependents
,
the
most
of
them
tending
by
direct
Lines
towards
him
,
as
the
Center
of
their
advancement
;
so
that
He
(
like
the
Supreme
Power
)
moved
this
upper
Region
,
for
the
most
part
,
and
that
had
an
influence
upon
the
lower
,
in
inferior
Orbs
;
yet
these
two
noble
Men
were
the
two
great
Lights
that
were
to
discover
the
Kings
mind
to
the
Parliament
,
and
by
whose
Heat
,
and
Vigor
,
the
blessed
fruits
of
Peace
,
and
Plenty
,
Salisbury
and
Northampton
Sticklers
for
the
King
.
should
be
produced
.
The
Lord
Treasurer
(
by
a
Command
from
the
King
)
instructs
both
Houses
in
their
business
,
and
what
they
shall
do
well
to
insist
upon
this
Session
.
First
,
To
supply
his
Majesties
wants
.
Secondly
,
To
ease
the
people
of
their
Grievances
.
They
go
commonly
yoakt
together
;
for
the
peoples
Grievances
are
the
Kings
Wants
,
and
the
Kings
Wants
are
the
peoples
Grievances
,
How
can
they
be
separated
?
If
the
King
will
always
want
,
the
people
will
always
suffer
:
For
Kings
when
they
do
want
,
lay
commonly
lawless
impositions
on
the
people
,
which
they
must
take
off
again
with
a
sum
of
money
,
and
then
they
want
again
to
a
continued
vicissitude
.
These
two
Propositions
are
sweetned
by
him
with
a
third
:
Which
is
to
make
the
Parliament
witnesses
of
those
great
favours
,
and
honours
,
that
his
Majesty
intended
his
Royal
Son
,
Prince
Henry
,
in
creating
him
Prince
of
Wales
:
Which
though
the
King
might
do
without
a
Parliament
,
and
that
divers
Kings
his
Predecessors
had
done
so
,
(
as
by
many
precedents
was
manifested
)
yet
being
desirous
to
have
a
happy
Vnion
betwixt
him
and
his
People
,
he
would
have
nothing
resound
ill
in
their
ears
,
from
so
eminent
an
instrument
to
the
Kingdoms
good
as
his
Son
.
Then
they
excuse
the
Kings
necessities
,
proceeding
from
his
great
disbursements
.
For
the
three
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
pounds
Subsidies
,
due
in
the
late
Queens
time
,
he
received
with
one
hand
,
and
paid
her
Debts
with
another
,
redeeming
the
Crown
Lands
which
she
had
morgaged
to
the
City
.
He
kept
an
Army
of
nineteen
thousand
men
in
Ireland
,
for
some
time
a
foot
;
wherein
a
great
many
of
the
Nobility
were
Commanders
,
and
other
deserving
Soldiers
,
that
would
have
been
exposed
to
want
and
penury
,
if
not
supplied
:
And
it
was
not
safe
for
the
King
to
trust
the
inveterate
malice
of
a
new
reconciled
Enemy
,
without
the
Sword
in
his
hand
.
The
late
Queens
Funeral
Charges
were
reckon'd
up
,
which
they
hoped
the
Parliament
would
not
repine
at
:
Nor
was
it
fit
the
King
should
come
in
as
a
private
Person
,
bringing
in
one
Crown
on
his
head
,
and
finding
another
here
;
or
his
Royal
Consort
,
with
our
future
Hopes
(
like
so
many
precious
Ienels
)
exposed
to
Robbers
,
without
a
Guard
and
Retinue
?
How
fit
was
the
Magnificence
at
the
King
of
Denmarks
being
here
?
And
how
just
that
Ambassadors
from
Foreign
Princes
(
more
than
ever
this
Crown
received
)
should
find
those
Entertainments
and
Gratuities
,
the
want
whereof
would
put
a
dim
lustre
abroad
upon
the
most
sparkling
Jewels
of
the
Crown
;
Besides
the
necessary
Charge
of
sending
Ambassadors
to
others
,
being
concurrent
and
mutual
Civilities
among
Princes
.
That
these
are
the
causes
of
the
Kings
wants
,
and
not
his
irregular
Bounty
,
though
a
magnificent
mind
is
inseparable
from
the
Majesty
of
a
King
.
If
he
did
not
give
,
his
subjects
and
servants
would
live
in
a
miserable
Climate
;
And
for
his
Bounty
to
those
that
were
not
born
among
us
,
it
must
be
remembred
,
he
was
born
among
them
;
and
not
to
have
them
taste
of
the
blessing
he
hath
attained
,
were
to
have
him
change
his
Vertue
with
his
Fortune
.
Therefore
they
desire
the
Kings
wants
may
be
supplied
;
a
thing
easie
to
be
granted
,
and
not
to
be
valued
by
Wise-men
,
nor
spoken
of
without
contempt
.
Philosophy
saith
,
that
all
Riches
are
but
food
and
rayment
,
the
rest
is
nugatorium
quiddam
:
And
that
it
is
but
purior
pars
terrae
,
and
therefore
but
crassior
pars
aquae
,
a
thing
unworthy
the
denial
to
such
a
King
who
is
not
only
the
wisest
of
Kings
,
but
the
very
Image
of
an
Angel
,
that
hath
brought
good
tidings
,
and
setled
us
in
the
fruition
of
all
good
things
.
He
whose
depth
of
Knowledge
as
well
as
Conscience
,
deserves
the
Title
of
Fidei
defensor
;
whose
numerous
Issue
makes
Foreign
Princes
study
to
keep
their
own
,
not
look
abroad
.
He
that
hath
shut
the
back-door
of
the
Kingdom
,
and
placed
two
Lions
,
a
red
and
a
yellow
to
secure
it
,
who
would
have
us
live
under
our
own
Olive
,
that
we
may
laetari
&
benefacere
.
That
none
will
wonder
at
the
Want
,
or
startle
at
the
supply
,
but
such
as
study
to
serve
their
own
turns
,
and
believe
nothing
but
what
they
find
written
in
the
stories
of
their
own
ignorance
.
Among
which
those
are
to
be
reckon'd
,
who
(
hearing
of
an
Order
to
bind
up
the
printed
Proclamations
in
a
book
,
that
the
better
notice
may
be
taken
of
the
things
contained
in
them
)
have
raised
a
bruit
,
that
it
was
intended
this
Parliament
to
make
Proclamations
equal
to
the
Laws
,
which
never
entred
into
the
Kings
heart
;
who
is
so
far
from
governing
by
will
and
power
,
that
he
will
yield
to
any
motion
from
them
,
wherein
they
shall
hold
a
just
Diameter
,
and
proportion
among
themselves
,
and
observe
those
Duties
due
to
a
great
and
gracious
King
.
Thus
these
Lords
did
please
themselves
and
the
King
,
by
striving
to
keep
the
people
in
the
milky
way
of
Obedience
,
which
they
had
long
suckt
in
,
and
found
the
sweet
of
it
tending
to
nourishment
,
not
yet
meeting
any
Callous
,
or
Brawny-constitution
(
which
must
harden
them
by
degrees
)
nor
yet
finding
their
own
Tempers
grown
Robust
enough
,
by
so
harsh
a
diet
as
afterwards
they
met
with
.
They
therefore
are
willing
to
go
on
in
the
way
pointed
out
to
them
,
as
Pupils
follow
their
Masters
,
minding
rather
the
smoothness
of
the
Tract
they
saw
,
than
the
roughness
of
the
end
.
Yet
some
of
them
,
whose
hopes
were
not
so
high
mounted
,
and
their
spirits
more
;
spoke
plainly
,
That
the
whole
wealth
of
England
would
not
serve
the
Kings
vast
Bounty
;
therefore
it
was
a
vain
thing
to
give
him
,
that
would
give
it
away
again
:
That
Gold
and
Silver
in
Edenburgh
now
in
our
Solomons
time
are
like
the
stones
in
the
streets
,
never
so
much
glittering
there
,
like
a
perpetual
spring-time
.
Besides
they
look
upon
the
Kings
incroachments
upon
the
publick
liberty
,
by
undermining
the
Laws
,
taking
notice
of
some
expressions
that
fell
from
him
publickly
at
his
dinner
,
in
derogation
of
the
Common
Law
,
extolling
highly
the
Civil
Law
before
it
;
and
approving
a
Book
lately
written
by
Doctor
Cowell
,
a
Civilian
,
against
it
:
Which
netled
our
great
Lawyers
,
that
had
not
some
of
them
been
raised
so
high
,
that
they
could
not
with
that
Court-gag
look
downwards
,
it
had
bred
a
contest
.
The
High-Commission
a
grievance
.
The
High-Commission
also
began
now
to
swell
into
a
Grievance
,
which
the
Parliament
complained
of
.
Seldom
is
Authority
and
Power
exercised
with
Moderation
:
Every
man
must
conform
to
the
Episcopal
way
,
and
quit
his
hold
in
Opinion
,
or
safety
.
That
Court
was
the
Touch
stone
to
try
whether
men
were
metal
for
their
stamp
;
and
if
they
were
not
soft
enough
to
take
such
impressions
as
were
put
upon
them
,
they
were
made
malleable
there
,
or
else
they
could
not
pass
current
.
This
was
the
beginning
of
that
mischief
,
which
when
it
came
to
a
full
ripeness
,
made
such
a
bloody
Tincture
in
both
Kingdoms
,
as
never
will
be
got
out
of
the
Bishops
Lawn
sleeves
.
And
though
these
Apples
of
strife
thrown
in
the
way
did
a
little
retard
the
course
in
hand
,
yet
they
carried
not
the
prize
:
For
the
King
according
to
his
old
wont
(
like
a
cunning
Hunter
)
when
they
began
to
run
counter
,
called
them
off
,
and
at
White-hall
by
one
of
his
Lectures
he
strives
to
bring
them
into
the
way
again
;
By
laying
himself
open
as
in
a
Glass
,
wherein
,
if
they
could
not
see
his
heart
,
they
might
scent
out
his
meaning
,
and
so
follow
the
chace
which
was
to
be
pursued
.
The
Kings
Speech
to
both
Houses
.
He
tells
them
,
though
the
Kings
heart
be
in
the
hands
of
the
Lord
,
yet
he
will
set
it
before
the
eyes
of
the
people
:
Assuring
them
that
he
never
meant
to
govern
by
any
Law
,
but
the
Law
of
the
Land
;
though
it
be
disputed
among
them
,
as
if
he
had
an
intention
to
alter
the
Law
,
and
govern
by
the
absolute
Power
of
a
King
.
He
knew
,
said
he
,
the
Power
of
Kings
,
resembling
it
to
the
Power
Divine
:
For
as
God
can
create
and
destroy
,
make
and
unmake
at
his
pleasure
,
so
Kings
can
give
life
and
death
,
judg
all
,
and
be
judged
of
none
.
They
can
exalt
low
things
,
and
abase
high
things
,
making
the
subjects
like
men
at
Chess
,
a
pawn
to
take
a
Bishop
or
a
Knight
.
(
But
he
left
out
the
power
of
a
Pawn
to
take
a
Queen
,
or
check
a
King
)
.
And
when
he
had
raised
the
Kings
power
to
the
height
,
with
Vos
dii
estis
,
he
brings
them
down
again
,
with
,
They
shall
die
like
men
:
And
that
all
Kings
who
are
not
Tyrants
or
perjur'd
,
will
bound
themselves
within
the
limits
of
their
Laws
,
and
they
that
perswade
them
the
contrary
,
are
Vipers
and
Pests
both
against
them
and
the
Common-wealth
.
Yet
as
it
is
Blasphemy
to
dispute
what
God
may
do
,
so
it
is
Sedition
in
Subjects
to
dispute
what
a
King
may
do
in
the
height
of
his
power
.
And
as
he
will
not
have
his
subjects
discourse
of
what
he
may
do
,
so
he
will
do
nothing
but
what
shall
be
consonant
to
Law
and
Reason
.
Then
he
strives
to
mitigate
the
sharpness
of
the
words
dropt
from
him
at
his
Table
to
the
disparagement
of
the
Common
Law
,
and
assures
them
,
though
he
likes
the
Civil
Law
very
well
,
as
being
Lex
Gentium
,
which
maintains
intercourse
with
foreign
Nations
,
and
sitted
to
the
Ecclesiastical
Courts
,
Court
of
Admiralty
,
and
Courts
of
Request
,
yet
he
is
so
far
from
disavowing
the
Common
Law
,
that
he
protests
,
if
he
were
to
chuse
a
new
Law
for
this
Kingdom
,
he
would
prefer
it
before
any
other
National
Law
,
yea
,
the
Law
of
Moses
,
nay
,
without
blasphemy
,
the
very
Law
of
God
.
Then
he
recalls
himself
,
and
tells
them
,
That
though
for
this
Nation
he
had
preferred
the
Common
Law
to
the
Law
of
God
,
yet
it
is
inferiour
to
the
Iudicial
Law
:
For
no
Book
,
or
Law
is
free
from
corruption
,
but
the
Book
and
Law
of
God
.
And
therefore
he
could
wish
that
three
things
specially
were
purged
out
of
Common
Law
.
First
,
That
it
were
written
in
the
vulgar
Tongue
,
and
made
plain
to
the
peoples
understanding
,
that
they
might
know
what
to
obey
,
that
the
Lawyers
in
the
Law
,
like
the
Romish
Priests
in
the
Gospel
,
might
not
keep
the
people
in
ignorance
.
Secondly
,
That
the
Common
Law
might
have
a
setled
Text
in
all
Cases
,
for
being
grounded
upon
old
Customs
,
Reports
,
and
Cases
of
former
Iudges
,
called
Responsa
prudentum
,
which
are
not
binding
(
for
divers
times
Iudges
disclaim
them
,
and
recede
from
the
Iudgment
of
their
Predecessors
)
it
were
good
upon
mature
deliberation
,
that
the
Exposition
of
the
Law
were
set
down
by
Act
of
Parliament
,
that
the
people
might
know
what
to
depend
upon
.
Thirdly
,
There
is
in
the
Common
Laws
divers
contrary
Reports
and
Precedents
,
and
divers
Statutes
and
Acts
of
Parliament
,
that
do
cross
one
another
,
being
so
penned
,
that
they
may
be
taken
in
divers
senses
,
therefore
he
could
wish
,
they
might
be
reviewed
,
and
reconciled
.
And
whereas
he
is
thought
an
Enemy
to
Prohibitions
,
he
saith
he
is
not
ignorant
of
the
necessity
of
them
,
if
every
stream
might
run
in
its
own
chanel
,
but
the
overflowing
,
and
super-abundance
of
them
,
in
every
Court
,
striving
to
bring
most
grist
to
their
own
Mill
,
was
a
distemper
fit
to
be
cured
,
therefore
he
did
not
disallow
the
Use
but
the
Abuse
.
Then
he
closes
with
the
House
of
Commons
,
and
not
only
thanks
them
for
the
Bonefire
they
made
of
certain
Papers
which
were
presented
Grievances
from
some
discontented
murmuring
spirits
,
but
he
instructs
them
how
to
receive
Grievances
hereafter
:
In
which
he
would
have
them
careful
to
avoid
three
things
.
The
first
,
That
they
meddle
not
with
the
main
points
of
Government
,
that
is
his
craft
,
Tractent
fabrilia
fabri
.
To
meddle
with
that
were
to
lessen
him
,
who
hath
been
thirty
years
at
the
Trade
in
Scotland
,
and
served
an
Apprentiship
of
seven
years
here
,
therefore
here
needs
no
Phormios
to
teach
Hannibal
.
Secondly
,
He
would
not
have
such
ancient
Rights
as
he
hath
received
from
his
Predecessors
accounted
Grievances
,
that
were
to
judg
him
unworthy
to
injoy
what
they
left
him
.
And
lastly
,
That
they
should
be
careful
not
to
present
that
for
a
Grievance
,
which
is
established
by
a
Law
;
for
it
is
very
undutiful
in
Subjects
to
press
their
King
wherein
they
are
sure
to
be
denyed
.
Complaints
may
be
made
unto
them
of
the
High-Commissioners
,
let
the
abuse
appear
then
,
and
spare
not
,
there
may
be
errors
among
them
,
but
to
take
away
the
Commission
is
to
derogate
from
him
,
and
it
is
now
in
his
thoughts
to
rectifie
it
in
a
good
proportion
.
Then
he
shews
the
emergent
cause
of
his
great
expences
,
since
his
coming
to
the
Crown
,
which
makes
him
desire
a
supply
from
them
,
confirming
what
the
Lords
formerly
delivered
;
wherein
he
said
,
when
they
opened
his
necessities
unto
them
,
his
purse
only
labour'd
,
now
his
desires
are
taken
notice
of
both
at
home
and
abroad
,
his
Reputation
labours
as
well
as
his
Purse
;
for
the
World
will
think
it
want
of
love
in
them
,
or
merit
in
him
,
that
both
lessen'd
their
hearts
,
and
tied
up
their
hands
towards
him
.
Thus
the
King
expressed
himself
to
the
Parliament
,
desiring
their
assistance
,
assuring
them
he
had
no
intention
to
alter
the
Government
,
though
he
wished
the
Laws
might
be
rectified
.
But
his
King-craft
(
as
he
calls
it
)
failed
in
striking
at
the
Common
Law
,
and
he
was
convinced
in
it
,
how
dangerous
it
was
to
give
too
much
knowledg
to
the
people
;
the
two
great
Hammers
of
the
State
,
the
Church-man
and
Lawyer
,
that
work
the
people
to
obedience
,
upon
the
two
Anvils
of
Conscience
and
Policy
,
beat
him
to
the
understanding
of
it
,
so
that
ever
after
he
joyned
with
them
,
and
that
three-fold
Cord
was
not
easily
dissolved
.
But
the
times
not
being
ripe
yet
to
produce
any
thing
but
the
fruits
of
obedience
,
they
after
this
Lesson
setled
themselves
to
make
divers
good
Laws
,
which
they
purchased
at
the
rate
of
a
Subsidie
and
a
Fifteen
.

The
Siege
of
Iuliers
.
begot
a
Truce
betwixt
the
King
of
Spain
,
and
the
Low
Countries
;
yet
by
the
death
of
the
Duke
of
Cleve
,
the
War
was
like
to
revive
again
:
For
while
two
petty
Princes
,
Brandenburgh
and
Newburgh
,
strove
for
the
inheritance
,
Spain
,
like
the
Vulture
in
the
Fable
,
attempted
to
catch
it
from
both
,
seizing
upon
Iuliers
,
one
of
the
chief
Strengths
of
the
Country
;
which
the
States
of
the
Netherlands
,
by
the
help
of
our
King
,
and
Henry
the
Fourth
of
France
,
besieged
,
and
recovered
again
.
Sir
Edward
Cecil
,
Brother
to
the
Earl
of
Salisburg
,
commanded
four
thousand
English
at
that
Siege
,
whose
Conduct
gave
Life
to
his
Soldiers
Valour
,
and
that
advanced
the
Glory
of
his
Conduct
.
But
where
such
fiery
Spirits
are
congregated
into
a
Body
,
there
will
be
often
violent
and
thundring
eruptions
.
Sir
Hatton
Cheek
was
next
Commander
to
Sir
Edward
Cecil
,
a
Man
of
a
gallant
and
daring
courage
in
the
difficultest
enterprises
;
who
speaking
to
Sir
Thomas
Dutton
(
one
of
the
Captains
under
his
Command
)
somewhat
hastily
,
An.
Reg.
8.
An.
Christi
1610.
Dutton
disdaining
to
be
snapt
up
(
being
a
man
of
a
crabbed
temper
returned
as
hot
an
answer
,
which
broke
into
a
flame
:
But
Dutton
quenched
it
,
by
telling
Sir
Hatton
Cheek
,
He
knew
he
was
his
Officer
,
which
tied
him
in
the
Army
to
a
strict
Obedience
,
but
he
would
break
that
Bond
,
and
vindicate
himself
in
another
place
:
And
instantly
quitting
his
Command
,
he
went
for
England
.
A
Duel
betwixt
Sir
Hatton
Cheek
,
and
Sir
Thomas
Dutton
.
Some
small
time
after
the
taking
of
Iuliers
,
Cheek
fell
sick
;
and
his
distemper
was
the
greater
,
because
he
had
heard
Dutton
strove
to
defame
him
,
both
in
Court
and
City
:
for
being
full
with
passion
,
he
vented
it
with
freedom
enough
in
every
place
.
Cheek
being
recovered
,
and
heart-whole
,
would
not
give
time
to
his
decayed
limbs
to
suck
in
their
old
vigor
,
but
sends
to
Dutton
that
threatned
him
,
to
give
an
account
of
the
large
expence
of
his
tongue
against
him
;
Dutton
,
that
waited
for
such
a
reckoning
,
willingly
accepted
the
Summons
:
Cheek
took
Pigot
,
one
of
his
Captains
,
to
be
his
Second
;
Dutton
took
Captain
Gosnald
,
both
Men
of
well-spread
fame
;
and
they
four
met
on
Calais
Sands
:
On
which
dreadful
Stage
,
at
first
meeting
,
Dutton
began
to
expostulate
his
injuries
,
as
if
a
Tongue-Combate
might
decide
the
Controversie
;
but
Cheek
would
dispute
it
otherwise
.
Then
their
Seconds
searching
,
and
stripping
them
to
their
Shirts
in
a
cold
morning
,
they
ran
with
that
fury
on
each
others
Sword
,
as
if
they
did
not
mean
to
kill
each
other
,
but
strive
who
should
first
die
.
Their
Weapons
were
Rapier
and
Dagger
,
a
fit
Banquet
for
Death
.
At
the
first
course
,
Cheek
ran
Dutton
into
the
neck
with
his
Rapier
,
and
stab'd
him
in
the
neck
backward
with
his
Dagger
,
miraculously
missing
his
wind-pipe
;
And
at
the
same
instant
,
like
one
motion
,
Dutton
ran
Cheek
through
the
Body
,
and
stab'd
him
into
the
back
with
his
left
hand
,
locking
themselves
together
thus
with
four
bloody
keys
,
which
the
Seconds
fairly
opened
,
and
would
sain
have
closed
up
the
bleeding
difference
:
but
Cheeks
wounds
were
deadly
,
which
he
finding
,
grew
the
violenter
against
his
Enemy
;
and
Dutton
seeing
him
begin
to
stagger
,
went
back
from
his
fury
,
only
defending
himself
,
till
the
others
rage
weakned
with
loss
of
blood
,
without
any
more
hurt
,
fell
at
his
feet
.
Dutton
,
with
much
difficulty
recovered
his
dangerous
wounds
,
but
Cheek
by
his
Servants
had
a
sad
Funeral
,
which
is
the
bitter
fruit
of
fiery
passions
.
HENRY
IIII
ROY
DE
FRANCE
ET
DE
NAVARRE
.
The
venom
of
this
blow
reached
presently
into
England
:
and
came
somewhat
near
our
Kings
Heart
;
therefore
he
took
the
best
way
to
prevent
his
Fears
,
by
striving
to
prevent
his
Dangers
,
having
no
other
end
but
his
own
.
For
when
he
considered
the
horridness
of
the
Powder
Plot
,
and
by
it
the
irreconcileable
malice
of
that
Party
,
he
thought
it
the
safest
policy
,
not
to
stir
those
Ashes
,
where
so
much
Fire
was
covered
;
which
gave
way
to
a
flux
of
that
Iesuitical
humour
to
infest
the
Body
of
the
Kingdom
.
But
now
being
startled
with
this
poysoned
knife
,
A
Proclamation
against
Jesuits
.
he
ventures
upon
a
Proclamation
,
strictly
commanding
all
Iesuits
and
Priests
out
of
the
Kingdom
,
and
all
Recusants
to
their
own
Houses
,
not
to
come
within
ten
miles
of
the
Court
;
and
secures
all
the
rest
of
his
Subjects
to
him
,
by
an
universal
taking
of
the
Oath
of
Allegiance
;
which
the
Parliament
,
both
Lords
and
Commons
,
(
then
sitting
)
began
,
and
the
rest
of
the
People
followed
,
to
the
Kings
great
contentment
.
For
the
last
Session
the
Parliament
was
prorogued
till
the
sixteenth
of
October
this
year
;
and
meeting
now
,
they
were
willing
to
secure
their
Allegiance
to
the
King
out
of
Piety
;
yet
they
were
so
stout
(
even
in
those
youthful
days
,
which
he
term'd
Obstinacy
)
that
they
would
not
obey
him
in
his
incroachments
upon
the
Publick
Liberty
,
which
he
began
then
to
practise
.
For
being
now
season'd
with
seven
years
knowledg
in
his
profession
here
,
he
thought
he
might
set
up
for
himself
,
and
not
be
still
journy-man
to
the
lavish
tongue
of
men
,
that
pryed
too
narrowly
into
the
secrets
of
his
Prerogative
,
which
are
mysteries
too
high
for
them
,
being
Arcana
imperii
,
fitter
to
be
admired
than
questioned
:
But
the
Parliament
were
apprehensive
enough
,
that
those
hidden
mysteries
made
many
dark
steps
into
the
Peoples
Liberties
,
and
they
were
willing
by
the
light
of
Law
and
Reason
,
to
discover
what
was
the
Kings
,
what
theirs
;
Which
the
King
unwilling
to
have
searched
into
(
after
five
Sessions
in
six
years
time
)
dissolved
the
Parliament
by
Proclamation
.

About
this
time
Richard
Bancroft
,
Bancroft
Arch-Bishop

dies
.
Arch-Bishop
of
Canterbury
,
died
;
a
person
severe
enough
,
whose
roughness
gained
little
upon
those
that
deserted
the
Ceremonies
.
One
work
of
his
shewed
his
spirit
better
than
the
ruggedest
Pen
can
depaint
it
:
For
it
was
he
that
first
brought
the
King
to
begin
a
new
Colledg
by
Chelsey
,
wherein
the
choice
and
abiest
Scholars
of
the
Kingdom
,
and
the
most
pregnant
Wits
in
matters
of
Controversies
,
were
to
be
associated
under
a
Provost
,
with
a
fair
and
ample
allowance
,
not
exceeding
three
thousand
pounds
a
year
,
whose
design
was
to
answer
all
Popish
Books
,
or
others
,
that
vented
their
malignant
spirits
against
the
Protestant
Religion
,
either
the
Heresies
of
the
Papists
,
or
the
Errors
of
those
that
strook
at
Hierarchy
,
so
that
they
should
be
two-edged
Fellows
,
that
would
make
old
cutting
and
flashing
;
and
this
he
forwarded
with
all
industry
during
his
time
;

and
there
is
yet
a
formal
Act
of
Parliament
in

for
the
establishment
of
it
.
But
after
his
death
the
King
wisely
considered
,
that
nothing
begets
more
contention
than
opposition
,
and
such
Fuellers
would
be
apt
to
inflame
,
rather
than
quench
the
heat
that
would
arise
from
those
embors
:
For
Controversies
are
often
(
or
for
the
most
part
)
the
exuberancies
of
Passion
;
and
the
Philosopher
saith
,
men
are
drunk
with
disputes
,
and
in
that
inordinateness
take
the
next
thing
that
comes
to
hand
to
throw
at
one
anothers
faces
;
so
that
the
design
fell
to
the
ground
with
him
;
and
there
is
only
so
much
Building
standing
by
the
Thames-side
,
as
to
shew
,
that
what
he
intended
to
Plant
,
he
meant
should
be
well
Watered
,
and
yet
it
withered
in
the
bud
.
I
can
lay
nothing
to
the
charge
of
this
great
man
,
but
from
common
fame
;
yet
this
I
may
truly
say
,
That
for
his
Predecessor
Whitgift
,
and
his
Successor
Abbot
,
I
never
heard
nor
read
any
thing
tending
to
their
disparagement
:
But
on
him
,
some
unhappy
Wit
vented
this
Pasquin
,
Here
lies
his
Grace
in
cold
Earth
slad
,
Who
died
with
want
of
what
he
had
.
The
Queen
was
Mistress
of
Somerset-house
(
as
well
as
the
Prince
was
Master
of
St.
Iames
)
and
she
would
fain
have
given
it
the
name
of
Denmark-house
,
which
name
continued
her
time
,
among
her
people
,
but
it
was
afterwards
left
out
of
the
common
Calender
,
like
the
dead
Emperors
new
named
Month.
She
was
not
without
some
Grandees
to
attend
her
for
outward
glory
:
Masks
in
great
esteem
.
The
Court
being
a
continued
Maskarado
,
where

like
so
many
Sea-Nymphs
,
or
Nereides
,
appeared
often
in
various
dresses
to
the
ravishment
of
the
beholders
.
The
King
himself
being
not
a
little
delighted
with
such
fluent
Elegancies
,
as
made
the
nights
more
glorious
than
the
days
.
But
the
latitude
that
these
high-flying
fancies
,
and
more
speaking
Actions
,
gave
to
the
lower
World
to
judg
and
censure
,
even
the
greatest
with
reproaches
,
shall
not
provoke
me
so
much
as
to
stain
the
innocent
Paper
.
I
shall
only
say
in
general
,
That
Princes
,
by
how
much
they
are
greater
than
others
,
are
looked
upon
with
a
more
severe
eye
;
if
their
Vertues
be
not
suitable
to
their
Greatness
,
they
lose
much
of
their
value
:
For
it
is
too
great
an
allay
to
such
resinedness
to
fall
under
the
common
cognizance
.

Now
all
addresses
are
made
to
Sir
Robert
Car
,
he
is
the
Favourit
in
Ordinary
;
no
sute
,
nor
no
reward
,
but
comes
by
him
;
his
hand
distributes
,
and
his
hand
restrains
;
our
Supreme
Power
works
by
second
Causes
;
the
Lords
themselves
can
scarce
have
a
smile
without
him
.
And
to
give
the
greater
lustre
to
his
power
,
about
this
time
the
Earl
of
Dunbar
,
the
Kings
old
trusty
Servant
(
the
Cabinet
of
his
secret
Counsels
)
died
;
so
that
he
solely
now
took
the
most
intimate
of
them
into
his
charge
,
and
the
Officer
of
Lord
high
Treasurer
of
Scotland
,
which
staff
the
other
left
behind
him
;
and
though
it
could
be
no
great
Supporter
,
yet
the
credit
of
it
carried
some
reputation
in
his
own
Country
,
where
it
was
his
happiness
to
be
magnified
,
as
well
as
in
England
;
for
he
had
Treasure
enough
here
,
where
the
Fountain
was
.
And
to
ingrandize
all
,
the
King
created
him
Baron
of
Brandspech
,
and
Viscount
Rochester
,
and
soon
after
Knight
of
the
Garter
.
1612.
Made
Viscount
.
Thus
was
he
drawn
up
by
the
Beams
of
Majesty
,
to
shine
in
the
highest
Glory
,
grapling
often
with
the
Prince
himself
in
his
own
Sphear
,
in
divers
Conteslations
.
For
the
Prince
being
a
high
born
Spirit
,
and
meeting
a
young
Competitor
in
his
Fathers
Affections
,
that
was
a
Mushrom
of
yesterday
,
thought
the
venom
would
grow
too
near
him
,
and
therefore
he
gave
no
countenance
,
but
opposition
to
it
;
which
was
aggravated
by
some
little
scintils
of
Love
,
as
well
as
Hatred
(
Rivals
in
passion
)
being
both
amorous
,
and
in
youthful
blood
,
fixing
by
accident
upon
one
object
,
who
was
a
third
mans
;
in
which
the
Viscount
got
the
Mastery
,
but
to
his
ruin
.
The
Prince
shewing
his
affection
,
by
his
neglecting
of
her
,
to
be
grounded
rather
upon
envy
to
the
Man
,
than
love
to
the
Woman
.
But
before
this
time
,
The
Earl
of
Essex
marries
the
Lady
Frances
Howard
.
the
Treasurer
Salisbury
,
that
great
Engin
of
the
State
,
by
whom
all
Wheels
moved
,
held
an
intimate
Correspondence
with
the
House
of
Suffolk
,
which
he
had
strengthned
with
an
Alliance
;
marrying
his
eldest
Son
,
the
Lord
Cranborn
,
to
Katharine
,
the
eldest
Daughter
of
that
Family
.
And
being
mindful
of
the
asperity
and
sharpness
that
was
betwixt
him
,
and
the
late
Earl
of
Essex
,
he
thought
it
a
good
Act
of
Policy
,
and
Piety
,
not
to
suffer
Malice
to
become
Hereditary
;
and
therefore
he
was
a
great
means
in
marrying
the
young
Earl
of
Essex
to
the
Lady
Frances
Howard
,
another
of
those
Sisters
,
that
the
Fathers
Enmity
might
be
closed
up
by
the
Sons
Nuptial
Fraternity
.
The
Earl
of
Essex
was
fourteen
years
of
Age
,
and
she
thirteen
,
when
they
married
;
too
young
to
consider
,
but
old
enough
to
consent
:
Yet
by
the
advice
of
Friends
separated
after
marriage
,
she
under
her
Mothers
wing
,
and
he
visiting
France
and
Germany
,
till
Time
should
mature
,
and
ripen
a
happy
Co-union
.
The
Court
was
her
Nest
,
her
Father
being
Lord
Chamberlain
;
and
she
was
hatched
up
by
her
Mother
,
whom
the
sour
breath
of
that
Age
(
how
justly
I
know
not
)
had
already
tainted
;
from
whom
the
young
Lady
might
take
such
a
Tincture
,
that
Ease
,
Greatness
,
and
Court
Glories
,
would
more
distain
and
impress
on
her
,
than
any
way
wear
out
and
diminish
.
And
growing
to
be
a
Beauty
of
the
greatest
Magnitude
in
that
Horison
,
was
an
Object
fit
for
Admirers
,
and
every
Tongue
grew
an
Orator
at
that
Shrine
.
The
Prince
of
Wales
now
in
his
Puberty
,
sent
many
loving
glances
,
as
Ambassadors
of
his
good
respects
,
and
amorous
expressions
are
fit
subjects
for
jealous
reproaches
to
work
on
.
Her
Husband
having
been
now
three
or
four
years
beyond
the
Seas
,
(
sick
with
absence
from
her
whom
his
desires
longed
after
)
came
over
again
,
and
found
that
Beauty
,
which
he
had
left
innocent
,
so
farded
and
sophisticated
with
some
Court
Drug
which
had
wrought
upon
her
,
that
he
became
the
greatest
Stranger
at
home
.
His
Patience
made
way
for
him
a
while
,
and
he
bore
up
with
a
gentle
gale
against
the
stream
of
this
Womans
affections
,
which
ran
altogether
(
unknown
to
him
)
into
another
chanel
.
Nor
was
her
reputation
yet
become
so
rebust
(
being
of
a
tender
growth
)
to
strike
his
ears
with
reproaches
,
and
therefore
he
imputed
her
sly
entertainments
to
a
Maiden
bashfulness
;
till
surfeted
with
that
dull
Potion
(
upon
better
advice
)
he
went
to
the
Earl
of
Suffolk
(
her
Father
)
and
demanded
his
Wife
,
thinking
himself
capable
to
enjoy
both
her
and
her
love
.
The
Father
,
that
thought
there
had
been
an
intimacy
betwixt
them
,
suitable
to
their
Conjugal
Knot
,
made
use
of
his
Paternal
power
,
to
reduce
his
Daughter
to
the
obedience
of
a
Wife
.
But
while
these
things
were
strugling
for
,
a
most
violent
Disease
of
a
poysonous
Nature
,
imputed
to
,
but
far
transcending
the
small
Pox
,
seized
on
the
Earl
of
Essex
;
and
had
not
the
strength
of
Youth
,
and
that
Almighty
Power
that
orders
all
things
,
wrought
out
the
venom
of
it
,
the
Earth
(
as
probably
wished
by
her
)
had
been
his
Marriage
Bed
.
The
Countess
of
Essex
in
love
with
Rochester
.
For
this
Lady
being
taken
with
the
growing
fortunes
of
the
Viscount
Rochester
,
and
grounding
more
hope
upon
him
,
than
the
uncertain
and
hopeless
love
of
the
Prince
,
she
cast
her
Anchor
there
;
which
the
Prince
soon
discovered
,
and
slighted
her
accordingly
.
For
dancing
one
time
among
the
Ladies
,
and
her
Glove
falling
down
,
it
was
taken
up
,
and
presented
to
him
,
by
one
that
thought
he
did
him
acceptable
service
;
but
the
Prince
refused
to
receive
it
,
saying
publicky
,
He
would
not
have
it
,
it
is
stretcht
by
another
,
meaning
the
Viscount
:
This
was
an
aggravation
of
hatred
betwixt
the
Kings
Son
and
the
Kings
Friend
.
The
Countess
of
Essex
having
her
heart
alienated
from
her
Husband
,
and
set
upon
the
Viscount
,
had
a
double
task
to
undergo
,
for
accomplishing
her
ends
.
One
was
,
to
hinder
her
Husband
from
enjoying
her
;
the
other
was
,
to
make
the
Viscount
sure
unto
her
:
For
dishonest
Love
is
most
full
of
jealousie
.
Her
Husband
she
looked
upon
as
a
private
person
,
and
to
be
carried
by
him
into
the
Country
out
of
her
element
(
being
ambitious
of
glory
,
and
a
Beauty
covetous
of
applause
)
were
to
close
(
as
she
thought
)
with
an
insufferable
Torment
,
though
he
was
a
man
that
did
not
only
every
way
merit
her
love
,
but
he
loved
her
with
an
extraordinary
affection
,
having
a
gentle
,
mild
,
and
courteous
disposition
,
especially
to
women
,
such
as
might
win
upon
the
roughest
natures
.
But
this
fiery
heat
of
his
Wives
mounted
upon
the
wings
of
Lust
,
or
Love
,
(
call
it
what
you
will
)
carryed
her
after
so
much
mischief
,
that
those
that
saw
her
face
,
might
challenge
Nature
of
too
much
Hypocrisie
,
for
harbouring
so
wicked
a
heart
under
so
sweet
and
bewitching
a
countenance
.
To
strengthen
her
designs
she
finds
out
one
of
her
own
stamp
,
She
consults
with
Mistriss
Turner
.
Mrs.
Turner
,
a
Doctor
of
Physicks
Widow
,
a
woman
,
whom
Prodigality
and
Looseness
had
brought
low
,
yet
her
Pride
would
make
her
fly
any
pitch
,
rather
than
fall
into
the
jaws
of
Want
.
These
two
consult
together
how
they
might
stop
the
current
of
the
Earls
affection
towards
his
Wife
,
and
make
a
clear
passage
for
the
Viscount
in
the
place
.
And
Forman
about
it
.
To
effect
which
,
one
Doctor
Forman
,
a
reputed
Conjurer
(
living
at
Lambeth
)
is
found
out
:
The
women
declare
to
him
their
Grievances
,
he
promises
sudden
help
,
and
to
amuse
them
,
frames
many
little
Pictures
of
Brass
,
and
Wax
,
some
like
the
Viscount
and
Countess
,
whom
he
must
unite
and
strengthen
;
others
like
the
Earl
of
Essex
,
whom
he
must
debilitate
and
weaken
;
and
then
with
Philtrous
powders
,
and
such
drugs
,
he
works
upon
their
persons
.
And
to
practise
what
effects
his
Art
would
produce
,
Mrs.
Turner
,
that
loved
Sir
Arthur
Manwaring
,
(
a
Gentleman
then
attending
the
Prince
)
and
willing
to
keep
him
to
her
,
gave
him
some
of
the
powder
,
which
wrought
so
violently
with
him
,
that
through
a
storm
of
Rain
and
Thunder
,
he
rode
fifteen
miles
one
dark
night
to
her
House
,
scarce
knowing
where
he
was
till
he
was
there
.
Such
is
the
devillish
and
mad
rage
of
Lust
,
heightned
with
Art
and
Fancy
.
These
things
matured
and
ripened
by
the
cunning
of
this
Jugler
Forman
,
gave
them
assurance
of
happy
hopes
.
Her
Courtly
invitements
,
that
drew
the
Viscount
to
observe
her
,
she
imputed
to
the
operation
of
those
drugs
he
had
tasted
;
and
that
harshness
,
and
stubborn
comportment
she
expressed
to
her
Husband
,
making
him
(
weary
of
such
entertainments
)
to
absent
himself
,
she
thought
proceeded
from
the
effects
of
those
unknown
known
potions
and
powders
,
that
were
administred
to
him
:
So
apt
is
the
Imagination
to
take
impression
of
those
things
we
are
willing
to
believe
.
The
good
Earl
finding
his
Wife
nousled
in
the
Court
,
and
seeing
no
possibility
to
reduce
her
to
reason
,

Earl
of
Essex

Wife
to

.
till
she
were

from

and

of
the
delights
she
suckt
in
there
,
made
his
condition

known

Father

,
imbitter'd

near
him
,
with
wearisome
and
continual
chidings
,
to
wean
her
from
the
sweets
she
doted
on
;
and
with
much
ado
forced
her
into
the
Country
.
But
how
harsh
was
the
parting
,
being
rent
away
from
the
place
where
she
grew
and
flourished
?
Yet
she
left
all
her
Engines
and
Imps
behind
her
;
the
old
Doctor
,
and
his
Confederate
Mrs.
Turner
,
must
be
her
two
supporters
:
She
blazons
all
her
miseries
to
them
,
at
her
depart
,
and
moystens
the
way
with
her
tears
.
Chartley
was
an
hundred
miles
from
her
happiness
and
a
little
time
thus
lost
is
her
eternity
.
When
she
came
thither
(
though
in
the
pleasantest
time
of
Summer
)
she
shut
herself
up
in
her
Chamber
,
not
suffering
a
beam
of
light
to
peep
upon
her
dark
thoughts
▪
If
she
stirred
out
of
her
Chamber
,
it
was
in
the
dead
of
Night
,
when
sleep
had
taken
possession
of
all
others
,
but
those
about
her
.
In
this
implacable
,
sad
,
discontented
humour
,
she
continued
some
moneths
,
always
murmuring
against
,
but
never
giving
the
least
civil
respect
to
her
Husband
,
which
the
good
man
suffered
patiently
,
being
loth
to
be
the
divulger
of
his
own
misery
:
yet
having
a
manly
courage
,
he
would
sometimes
break
into
a
little
passion
,
to
see
himself
sleighted
and
neglected
by
himself
,
but
having
never
found
better
from
her
,
it
was
the
easier
to
bear
with
her
.

combustible
matter
;
for
we
will
never
allow
there
was
any
other
Diabolical
means
used
,
Nature
being
strong
enough
for
such
a
production
;
but
being
not
pertinent
to
the
Story
,
will
leave
it
,
and
follow
them
that
found
the
effects
of
it
,
and
had
affections
suitable
to
it
,
which
they
made
use
of
with
an
unbridled
appetite
,
yet
meeting
closely
in
corners
(
Sin
being
at
first
shamefaced
)
but
afterwards
they
grew
more
bold
;
and
every
hour
that
the
Viscount
could
steal
from
his
Royal
Master
,
he
dedicated
it
to
his
Disloyal
Mistris
;
being
caught
in
this
Net
of
Adulation
,
he
becomes
a
willing
Prisoner
;
Lust
only
getting
liberty
to
all
looseness
and
licentiousness
:
Places
of
frequent
Meetings
are
daily
renewed
,
Persons
fitted
for
such
practices
are
employed
;
and
when
Nature
was
exhausted
,
Art
,
her
subtil
Imitator
,
brought
in
her
store
,
to
contribute
new
Spirits
,
purchased
at
any
rate
.
All
outward
Adornment
to
present
Beauty
in
her
full
Glory
,
were
not
wanting
on
both
sides
,
being
Lusts
fuel
,
which
tended
to
the
Consumption
of
all
Reason
.
And
among
the
rest
,
yellow
starch
,
the
invention
and
foyl
of
Iaundice
Complexions
,
with
great
Cut-work
Bands
,
and
Piccadillies
(
a
thing
that
hath
since
lost
the
name
)
crouded
in
,
and
flourished
among
us
,
Mrs.
Turner
,
being
nominoted
to
be
the
first
Contriver
,
happily
in
England
,
but
the
Original
came
out
of
France
;
which
fashion
and
colour
did
set
off
their
lean
sallow
countenances
.
Thus
did
the
Viscount
get
the
Conquest
of
two
,
the
King
,
and
this
Lady
,
but
could
not
subdue
his
own
lustful
Appetite
.
The
Wheel
of
Fortune
running
towards
the
Scots
,
The
Lord
Sanquir
murthered
a
Fencer
.
turned
by
the
Viscount
Rochester
,
was
unhappily
diverted
upon
the
Lord
Sanquir
,
a
Baron
of
that
Nation
,
and
married
to
a
good
Family
in
England
:
who
some
years
before
meeting
with
a
sturdy
Fencer
,
one
Iohn
Turner
,
who
was
a
Master
of
the
Weapon-Trade
,
in
his
own
School
,
the
young
Lord
strove
to
put
some
affront
upon
him
(
making
it
no
little
Conquest
to
disgrace
a
Master
in
the
Art
,
as
they
termed
it
)
and
the
man
apprehensive
of
the
Attempt
,
with
a
bold
rudeness
prest
so
hard
upon
him
,
that
he
thrust
out
one
of
the
Barons
eyes
.
This
business
was
much
regretted
by
Turner
,
and
the
Baron
being
conscious
to
himself
that
he
meant
his
Adversary
some
ill
,
took
the
Accident
with
as
much
patience
,
as
men
that
lose
one
eye
by
their
own
default
,
use
to
do
for
the
preservation
of
the
other
.
Some
time
after
,
being
in
the
Court
of
the
late
great
Henry
of
France
,
and
the
King
(
courteous
to
Strangers
)
entertaining
discourse
with
him
,
askt
him
,
how
he
lost
his
eye
;
he
(
cloathing
his
answer
in
a
better
shrowd
than
a
plain
Fencers
)
told
him
,
it
was
done
with
a
Sword
:
The
King
replies
,
Doth
the
man
live
?
And
that
question
gave
an
end
to
the
Discourse
,
but
was
the
beginner
of
a
strange
Confusion
in
his
working
Fancy
,
which
neither
Time
nor
Distance
could
compose
;
carrying
it
in
his
breast
some
years
after
,
till
he
came
into
England
,
where
he
hired
two
of
his
Country-men
,
Gray
and
Carlile
(
men
of
low
and
mercenary
spirits
)
to
murther
him
,
which
they
did
with
a
Case
of
Pistols
in
his
own
House
in
White-Fryars
;
many
years
after
the
loss
of
his
bodily
eye
,
thus
the
Baron
lost
the
eye
of
his
Reason
.
This
bold
nefarious
Act
was
very
deeply
resented
at
Court
,
and
the
Kings
Commands
were
so
active
for
apprehension
of
the
murderers
,
that
they
were
all
three
taken
;
one
upon
the
Borders
of
Scotland
,
so
far
had
his
fears
carried
him
;
another
in
a
Ship
bound
for
Hamburgh
,
who
scaping
in
a
Storm
,
the
Seas
delivered
up
;
and
the
Lord
himself
being
obscured
(
in
this
Tempest
of
his
Soul
)
hearing
a
thousand
pound
was
offered
to
bring
his
Head
(
so
liberal
was
the
King
for
Iustice
)
threw
himself
into
the
Arms
of
his
Mercy
,
by
the
mediation
of
the
Arch-Bishop
of
Canterbury
,
to
whom
he
presented
himself
an
Object
of
pity
:
but
no
intercession
could
prevail
,
Is
hanged
.
their
lives
satisfied
the
Law
,
the
Baron
not
having
the
honour
of
a
Noble
death
.
Edward
Earle
of
Dorset
.
Lord
Chamberlaine
to
the
Queene
.
etc.
The
Kings
affections
were
not
so
monopolized
,
Salisbury
not
pleased
with
the
Viscounts
greatness
.
but
that
his
crafty
Servant
the
Earl
of
Salisbury
,
had
a
good
hole
as
well
in
his
Councils
,
as
Treasure
.
And
being
not
well
pleased
to
see
himself
bearded
by
a
Youth
new
started
into
the
affairs
of
the
World
,
and
mounted
by
the
wing
of
love
,
not
of
merit
;
he
cast
out
many
mists
before
him
,
to
hinder
and
damp
his
passage
so
,
that
the
Viscount
could
not
rise
to
that
pitch
(
during
his
life
)
that
he
afterwards
arrived
at
.
And
one
thing
among
the
rest
he
obstructed
was
five
thousand
pounds
the
King
had
given
him
to
maintain
his
Riot
:
Which
sum
the
Treasurer
thought
too
great
a
bulk
to
be
carried
lightly
away
,
and
therefore
he
desired
the
King
might
see
what
he
did
.
And
having
layd
the
money
in
Silver
upon
Tables
in
his
Gallery
at
Salisbury-house
,
he
invited
the
King
to
dinner
,
making
this
the
passage
to
his
entertainment
.
The
King
strucken
suddenly
with
such
heaps
,
asked
the
Treasurer
what
this
money
was
for
;
who
told
him
,
he
had
received
his
Majesties
Commands
to
give
so
much
to
the
Viscount
Rochester
.
The
King
that
either
carelesly
thought
five
thousand
pound
to
be
no
more
than
the
noise
so
much
makes
in
Scotland
(
which
doth
not
amount
to
above
five
hundred
pounds
)
or
,
cunningly
(
if
he
knew
the
value
,
knew
also
the
Treasurers
meaning
)
said
it
was
too
much
for
one
man
,
and
made
him
be
contented
with
less
than
the
half
.
And
now
the
King
casts
his
thoughts
towards
Peterborough
,
The
Queen
of
Scots
translated
to
Westminster
.
where
his
Mother
lay
,
whom
he
caused
to
be
translated
to
a
Magnificent
Tomb
,
at
Westminster
.
And
(
somewhat
suitable
to
her
mind
when
she
was
living
)
she
had
a
translucent
passage
in
the
night
,
through
the
City
of
London
,
by
multitudes
of
Torches
:
The
Tapers
placed
by
the
Tomb
and
the
Altar
,
in
the
Cathedral
,
smoaking
with
them
like
an
Offertory
,
with
all
the
Ceremonies
,
and
Voices
,
their
Quires
and
Copes
could
express
,
attended
by
many
Prelates
and
Nobles
,
who
payd
this
last
Tribute
to
her
memory
.
This
was
accounted
a
Piaculous
action
of
the
Kings
by
many
,
though
some
have
not
stuck
to
say
,
That
as
Queen
Elizabeth
was
willing
to
be
rid
of
the
Queen
of
Scots
,
yet
would
not
have
it
her
action
,
and
being
it
could
not
be
done
without
her
command
,
when
it
was
done
she
renounced
her
own
act
.
So
though
the
King
was
angry
when
he
heard
his
Mother
was
taken
away
by
a
violent
death
,
recalling
his
Ambassador
,
threatning
War
,
and
making
a
great
noise
(
which
was
after
calmed
and
closed
up
with
a
large
Pension
from
the
Queen
)
yet
he
might
well
enough
be
pleased
that
such
a
spirit
was
layd
,
as
might
have
conjured
up
three
Kingdoms
against
him
:
For
Patrick
Grey
that
the
King
sent
to
disswade
Queen
Elizabeth
from
taking
away
his
Mothers
life
,
was
the
greatest
Instrument
to
perswade
her
to
it
;
Distilling
always
into
her
this
Sentence
,
Mortua
non
mordet
.
When
she
is
dead
she
cannot
bite
;
But
the
Love
that
tends
to
self-preservation
,
is
an
adjunct
of
Nature
,
more
powerful
than
Filial
duty
,
and
therefore
there
will
be
no
great
strife
where
there
are
not
adequate
operations
,
The
Palatints
arrival
16.
Octob.
This
time
was
also
presented
unto
us
in
a
various
dress
,
and
the
event
shewed
(
though
some
years
after
)
there
was
more
cause
of
Mourning
than
Rejoycing
,
though
the
latter
got
the
predominance
:
For
the
Prince
Elector
Palatine
came
over
into
England
to
Marry
the
Kings
only
Daughter
,
and
Death
deprived
us
of
the
Kings
eldest
Son
.
Prince
Henry's
death
6.
Nov.
A
Prince
as
eminent
in
Nobleness
as
in
Blood
,
and
having
a
spirit
too
full
of
life
and
splendour
to
be
long
shrouded
in
a
cloud
of
flesh
.
His
gallant
spirit
.
If
that
which
gave
life
to
his
life
had
been
less
,
he
might
happily
have
lived
longer
:
Not
that
there
was
too
much
Oyl
,
or
that
concurrent
Natural
Balsamum
in
this
fair
and
well-composed
Lamp
to
extinguish
it self
,
but
the
light
that
came
from
it
might
cast
so
radiant
a
lustre
,
as
(
by
darkning
others
)
it
came
to
lose
the
benefit
of
its
own
glory
.
Iealousie
is
like
fire
that
burns
all
before
it
,
and
that
fire
is
hot
enough
to
dissolve
all
Bonds
,
that
tends
to
the
diminution
of
a
Crown
.
The
Prince
of
Spain
(
his
contemporary
)
Son
to
Philip
the
second
(
not
long
before
this
)
like
a
young
Phaeton
,
wished
himself
but
one
day
in
his
Fathers
Throne
,
and
he
fell
(
not
long
after
)
into
the
hard
hand
of
an
immature
fate
,
before
he
could
step
into
the
Chariot
.
So
dangerous
are
the
paths
of
Greatness
,
that
the
tongue
(
many
times
)
rouling
aside
,
makes
men
tread
awry
.
Strange
Rumors
are
raised
upon
this
sudden
expiration
of
our
Prince
,
the
disease
being
so
violent
,
that
the
combate
with
Nature
in
the
strength
of
youth
(
being
almost
nineteen
years
of
age
)
lasted
not
above
five
days
.
Some
say
he
was
poysoned
with
a
bunch
of
Grapes
,
others
attribute
it
to
the
venemous
scent
of
a
pair
of
Gloves
,
presented
to
him
(
the
distemper
lying
for
the
most
part
in
the
head
.
)
They
that
knew
neither
of
these
,
are
strucken
with
fear
and
amazement
,
as
if
they
had
tasted
,
or
felt
,
the
effects
of
those
violences
:
Private
whisperings
,
and
suspicions
,
of
some
new
designs
a
foot
,
broaching
Prophetical
terrors
,
That
a
black
CARLO
D'AVSTRIA
PRINCIPE
DI
SPAGNA
Christmas
would
produce
a
bloody
Lent
.
For
the
Spaniard
,
who
opposed
the
marriage
of
the
Prince
Palatine
,
and
saw
their
ruin
growing
up
in
Prince
Henries
towardly
Spirit
,
were
reputed
(
vulgarly
)
the
Mint-masters
of
some
horrid
practices
;
and
that
a
Ship
of
Pocket
Pistols
was
come
out
of
Spain
,
fit
Instruments
for
a
Massacre
.
And
these
Trepidations
were
not
only
in
the
lower
Region
,
but
wrought
upwards
,
so
high
,
that
Proclamations
were
sent
abroad
,
to
forbid
the
making
or
carrying
of
Pistols
,
under
a
foot
long
in
the
Barrel
.
And
all
Papists
are
not
only
dis-armed
(
being
ever
esteemed
Vassals
to
the
Catholick
King
)
but
their
Actions
with
caution
pried
into
.
In
such
dark
clouds
as
these
,
the
whole
Kingdom
was
at
a
loss
;
all
ordinary
Transitions
of
Nature
,
are
imputed
to
prodigious
Omens
;
the
greater
the
fears
are
,
the
more
blazing
is
the
Meteor
that
arises
from
them
.
Some
that
knew
the
bickerings
betwixt
the
Prince
and
the
Viscount
,
muttered
out
dark
Sentences
,
that
durst
not
look
into
the
light
;
especially
Sir
Iames
Elphington
,
who
(
observing
the
Prince
one
day
to
be
discontented
with
the
Viscount
)
offered
to
kill
him
:
but
the
Prince
reproved
him
with
a
gallant
Spirit
,
saying
,
If
there
were
Cause
he
would
do
it
himself
.
Now
whether
these
rumors
begot
a
further
scrutiny
,
or
whether
it
be
the
Court-trick
to
daub
and
slubber
over
things
that
may
be
perspicuous
,
I
know
not
:
But
the
Physicians
about
the
Prince
gave
it
under
their
hands
(
which
was
spread
abroad
in
several
copies
)
that
he
died
of
a
strong
malignant
Feaver
(
so
are
all
violent
dissolutions
,
where
Nature
hath
power
of
resistance
)
that
his
Liver
was
pale
,
and
livid
,
lead-like
;
the
Gall
had
no
Gall
,
but
was
full
of
wind
;
the
Spleen
was
unnaturally
black
,
and
the
Lungs
in
many
places
spotted
with
much
corruption
;
the
Midriff
,
or
Diaphragma
,
blackish
;
and
the
Head
in
some
places
full
of
blood
,
and
in
some
places
full
of
clear
water
.
Thus
was
he
Anatomized
to
amuze
the
World
,
and
clear
the
suspicion
of
poyson
,
as
if
no
venoms
could
produce
these
effects
.
He
died
the
sixth
of
November
,
His
Funeral
.
and
was
carried
on
a
Hearse
(
Triumphing
even
in
Death
)
to
Westminster
,
the
seventh
of
December
following
;
the
pomp
of
the
Funeral
being
fully
compleated
,
with
the
People
tears
and
Lamentations
.
Mourning
laid
aside
.
But
the
King
(
though
he
could
not
but
be
troubled
to
lose
so
near
a
part
of
himself
)
looked
over
all
these
Mists
and
(
like
the
Sun
)
dispelled
all
these
Clouds
and
Vapours
;
commanding
,
no
man
should
appear
in
the
Court
in
mourning
;
he
would
have
nothing
in
his
Eye
,
to
bring
so
sad
a
Message
to
his
Heart
.
The
jollity
,
feasting
,
and
magnificence
of
Christmas
,
must
not
be
laid
down
.
There
were
Princes
,
and
Nobles
,
that
came
out
of
Germany
with
the
prince
Elector
,
that
must
see
the
Glory
of
the
English
Court
;
which
was
presented
with
so
much
eminency
in
gorgeous
Apparel
,
that
the
precedent
mourning
was
but
as
a
sable
foyl
,
the
better
to
illustrute
it
.
The
Prince
Elector
Palatine
,
and
Maurice
Prince
of
Orange
,
were
made
Knights
of
the
Garter
,
Lodowick
Count
of
Orange
being
Maurice's
Deputy
;
Knights
of
the
Garter
made
.
and
Prince
Maurice
took
it
as
a
great
honour
to
be
admitted
into
the
fraternity
of
that
Order
,
and
wore
it
constantly
:
Till
afterwards
,
some
Villains
at
the
Hague
,
that
met
the
Reward
of
their
Demerit
(
one
of
them
a
French
man
,
being
Groom
of
the
Princes
Chamber
)
robbed
a
Ieweller
of
Amsterdam
,
that
brought
Iewels
to
the
Prince
,
this
Groom
tempting
him
into
his
Chamber
to
see
some
Iewelr
,
and
there
with
his
Confederates
they
strangled
the
man
with
one
of
the
Princes
blew
Ribonds
;
which
being
after
discovered
,
the
Prince
would
never
suffer
so
fatal
an
Instrument
to
come
about
his
Neck
.
The
Prince
Palatine
married
to
the
Lady
Elizabeth
.
In
February
following
,
the
Prince
Palatine
,
and
that
lovely
Princess
,
the
Lady
Elizabeth
,
were
married
,
on
Bishop
Valentines
Day
,
in
all
the
Pomp
and
Glory
that
so
much
Grandure
could
express
.
Her
Vestments
were
white
,
the
Emblem
of
Innocency
;
her
hair
dishevil'd
,
hanging
down
her
back
at
length
,
an
Ornament
of
Virginity
;
a
Crown
of
pure
Gold
upon
her
head
,
the
Cognizance
of
Majesty
,
being
all
over
beset
with
pretious
gems
,
shining
like
a
Constellation
;
her
Train
supported
by
twelve
young
Ladies
in
white
Garments
,
so
adorned
with
Iewels
,
that
her
Passage
looked
like
a
milky
way
.
She
was
led
to
Church
by
her
Brother
Prince
Charles
,
and
the
Earl
of
Northampton
;
the
Young
Batchelor
on
the
right
hand
,
and
the
Old
on
the
left
.
And
while
the
Arch-Bishop
of
Canterbury
was
solemnizing
the
Marriage
,
some
eruscations
and
lightnings
of
joy
appeared
in
her
Countenance
,
that
expressed
more
than
an
ordinary
smile
,
being
almost
elated
to
a
laughter
;
which
could
not
clear
the
Air
of
her
Fate
,
but
was
rather
a
fore-runner
of
more
sad
and
dire
Events
:
Which
shews
how
slippery
Nature
is
,
to
tole
us
along
to
those
things
that
bring
danger
,
yea
sometimes
destruction
with
them
.
She
returned
from
the
Chappel
between
the
Duke
of
Lenox
,
and
the
Earl
of
Notingham
Lord
High
Admiral
,
two
married
Men.
The
Feastings
,
Maskings
,
and
other
Royal
Formalities
,
were
as
troublesome
(
't
is
presum'd
)
to
the
Lovers
;
as
the
Relation
of
them
here
may
be
to
the
Readers
:
For
such
splendor
and
gayety
are
fitter
to
appear
in
Princes
Courts
,
than
in
Histories

tired
with
Feasting
and
Jollity
,
about
the
middle
of
April
,
when
the
beauties
of
the
Spring
were
enticing
enough
to
beguile
the
tediousness
of
the
way
,
the
Prince
Elector
willing
to
review
,
and
the
Princess
to
see
what
she
was
to
injoy
;
After
all
the
caresses
,
and
sweet
embraces
,
that
could
be
between
the
King
,
Queen
,
and
Princes
,
that
were
to
be
separated
so
long
,
and
at
such
a
distance
;
And
after
all
the
Shews
,
Pastimes
,
Fire-works
,
and
other
Artifices
that
could
be
devised
,
and
manifested
,
they
parted
at
Rochester
;
The
Lord
Admiral
being
ready
with
a
Royal
Navy
in
the
Downs
for
their
passage
and
conduct
.
The
season
smiled
on
them
,
and
they
arrived
the
nine
and
twentieth
of
the
Moneth
in
Flushing
.
The
Duke
of
Lenox
,
the
Earl
of
Arundel
,
the
Viscount
Lisle
,
and
the
Lord
Harington
,
with
divers
Ladies
and
persons
of
Quality
,
attended
them
to
Heydelburgh
.
Their
entertainment
was
great
and
magnificent
in
the
Low-Countries
,
not
only
suitable
to
the
Persons
,
but
the
place
from
whence
they
came
,
(
The
English
having
been
ever
a
Bulwark
to
the
Netherlands
)
and
now
they
were
in
full
peace
with
Spain
,
which
gave
the
better
rellish
to
their
Banquetings
.
And
in
every
eminent
Town
in
Germany
as
they
passed
,
they
found
that
welcom
which
prolonged
their
time
,
but
made
their
travel
the
less
,
so
that
with
much
ado
they
reached
Heydelburgh
.
And
after
some
time
spent
there
,
to
see
the
beauties
and
delights
of
that
Court
,
and
Country
(
which
were
extended
and
put
forth
to
the
uttermost
)
the
Nobility
and
Ladies
of
England
returned
home
,
only
they
left
the
Lord
Harington
behind
them
,
who
dyed
by
the
way
:
A
Gentleman
much
lamented
in
his
own
person
,
but
much
more
in
his
Sons
(
who
not
long
after
survived
him
)
with
whom
were
buried
,
not
only
those
excellent
indowments
that
make
Noble-men
great
indeed
,
but
the
memory
of
a
noble
Posterity
,
which
makes
them
little
,
or
indeed
nothing
at
all

HENRY
HOWARD
.
End
of
Northampton
.
From
an
Original
Picture
in
the
Collection
of
Mr.
Harding
The
liuely
Portraiture
of
the
worthy
Knight
Sir
William
Wadd
late
Lieutenant
of
the
Tower
&c.
About
the
same
time
,
Rochester
betrays
Overbury
.
the
King
thinking
fit
to
send
an
Ambassador
into
Flanders
,
to
the
Arch-Duke
(
some
say
,
into
France
)
the
Viscount
recommended
Sir
Thomas
Overbury
to
the
King
for
that
Service
(
extolling
his
abilities
,
and
fitness
for
the
same
,
publickly
,
that
more
notice
might
be
taken
of
the
affront
)
and
the
King
made
choice
of
him
for
that
Imployment
.
Which
done
,
the
Viscount
(
under
the
shadow
of
friendship
)
imparts
to
Overbury
what
intentions
the
King
had
towards
him
;
but
he
thought
it
would
not
be
so
convenient
for
him
to
accept
of
it
,
because
he
should
not
only
lose
his
converse
,
and
company
,
by
such
an
alienation
(
which
he
highly
valued
)
but
many
a
fair
opportunity
of
improving
his
respects
to
him
,
in
some
better
way
of
advancement
.
Overbury
had
not
been
so
little
a
Courtier
,
or
a
man
of
so
mean
Reason
,
but
that
he
was
sensible
what
displeasure
he
should
pull
upon
himself
,
by
refusing
the
Kings
Commands
;
And
therefore
he
told
the
Viscount
,
that
betwixt
the
Kings
favours
,
and
his
friendship
,
he
had
a
great
conflict
in
his
spirit
,
being
willing
to
retain
both
;
but
how
he
should
refuse
the
Kings
commands
with
safety
,
he
knew
not
.
But
the
Viscount
,
with
fair
promises
,
prevailed
with
him
to
set
up
his
rest
at
home
,
upon
higher
expectations
(
such
a
sweet
bait
is
Ambition
!
)
protesting
to
take
off
the
asperity
of
the
Kings
anger
from
him
,
and
smooth
his
way
so
,
as
should
be
for
his
better
advantage
.
When
he
had
wrought
Overbury
in
this
forge
,
he
goes
to
the
King
,
and
blows
the
fire
,
incensing
him
with
all
the
aggravations
he
could
;
so
that
the
poor
Gentleman
,
for
his
contempt
,
was
forthwith
committed
to
the
Tower
.
And
to
prepare
all
things
for
his
reception
there
,
Sir
William
Wade
,
the
late
Lieutenant
,
was
removed
;
and
Sir
Iervis
Ellowis
,
a
Person
more
ambitious
,
than
indigent
(
having
made
his
way
by
money
,
the
common
merit
)
was
admitted
to
the
place
.
Now
the
Countess
,
The
Countesses
designs
.
like
another
Alecto
,
drove
furiously
,
her
Chariot
having
two
wheels
,
which
ran
over
all
impediments
:
One
was
,
to
sue
a
Divorce
betwixt
her
and
her
Husband
,
that
she
might
marry
the
Viscount
:
The
other
was
,
to
take
away
Overbury
,
the
blemish
in
her
Eye
,
and
that
laid
such
a
stain
upon
her
,
that
nothing
but
his
blood
could
expiate
.
For
these
she
hath
several
Engins
;
the
one
must
be
acted
Overtly
;
the
other
Covertly
,
in
dark
Corners
;
and
she
and
her
Agents
find
fit
Ministers
for
both
.
The
Earl
of
Northampton
resenting
his
Nieces
grievances
,
Northampton
joyns
with
her
.
makes
the
King
acquainted
with
her
Maiden
bashfulness
,
how
loth
she
is
to
divulge
her
Husbands
infirmities
,
and
how
long
it
is
since
her
Marriage
,
and
yet
she
hath
not
enjoyed
the
happiness
of
a
Wife
;
that
her
Husbands
inability
must
needs
be
an
unnatural
conjunction
,
such
as
neither
Law
nor
Reason
can
admit
of
;
and
that
there
was
a
great
affection
betwixt
the
Viscount
and
her
,
so
as
there
seemed
to
be
a
more
excellent
sympathy
,
and
sweet
composition
of
Soul
in
them
,
more
suitable
Reason
and
Nature
,
than
in
the
state
she
was
in
.
Which
was
seconded
by
the
Viscounts
humble
submissions
to
the
Kings
great
wisdom
,
who
(
he
acknowledged
)
had
not
only
raised
him
to
what
he
is
,
but
may
yet
make
him
more
happy
,
by
uniting
him
to
a
Lady
of
so
much
honour
and
vertue
.
The
King
,
that
took
delight
to
compleat
the
happiness
of
them
he
loved
,
commanded
the
Bishops
to
sue
out
a
Divorce
between
the
Earl
of
Essex
,
and
his
Lady
,
that
the
Viscount
might
marry
her
:
For
he
had
been
practised
formerly
in
Scotland
,
in
his
minority
,
with
the
like
experiment
.

being
married
to
the
Earl
of
March
,
under
pretence
of
impotency
,
but
meerly
for
lust
(
as
the
Author
reports
)
was
Divorsed
from
her
Husband
,
and
married
to
the
Earl
of
Arran
(
the
Kings
Favourite
)
who
had
been
before
a
Partner
in
her
Adulterous
Sheets
(
so
current
is
the
Parallel
,
and
so
equally
are
lust
and
ambition
yoked
together
,
that
they
both
(
with
full
violence
)
draw
one
and
the
same
way
,
)
The
Bishops
,
and
others
,
having
a
Commission
under
the
great
Seal
of
England
to
convent
the
Earl
of
Essex
,
and
his
Countess
,
before
them
,
sent
out
their
Summons
,
and
they
made
their
appearance
accordingly
.
But
before
they
proceeded
,
they
caused
a
Iury
of
twelve
discreet
Matrons
to
be
impannelled
,
to
search
the
Countess
,
whether
she
were
(
as
she
pretended
to
be
,
and
was
reputed
)
a
Maid
still
;
for
if
she
were
a
Maid
,
they
could
fasten
upon
a
Nullity
,
and
so
separate
them
,
for
the
more
honour
of
her
Virginity
.
The
Countess
being
ashamed
,
and
bashful
,
to
come
to
such
a
Tryal
,
would
not
expose
her
face
to
the
light
;
but
being
to
appear
before
the
Matrons
under
a
Veil
,
another
young
Gentlewoman
,
that
had
less
offended
,
was
fobbed
into
the
place
;
〈…〉
and
she
passed
,
in
the
opinion
,
both
of
Iury
and
Iudges
,
to
be
a
Virgin
.
Then
the
Articles
were
drawn
up
,
where
she
accused
her
Husband
of
impotency
(
and
that
he
was
hindred
with
a
perpetual
and
incurable
impediment
,
whereby
he
is
unable
to
have
carnal
copulation
with
her
,
with
frigiditas
quoad
h●nc
,
often
reiterated
,
&c.
)
The
good
Earl
,
willing
to
be
rid
of
so
horrid
a
mischief
,
did
acknowledge
he
had
attempted
to
enjoy
her
many
times
,
but
he
never
did
,
nor
could
carnally
know
her
,
and
believed
he
never
should
.
Upon
these
Grounds
the
Iudges
proceed
to
a
Divorce
.
Declaring
,
That
Robert
Earl
of
Essex
,
and
the
Lady
Frances
Howard
,
contracted
by
shew
of
Marriage
,
did
cohabit
in
one
House
,
and
lie
together
in
one
Bed
,
Nudum
cum
Nuda
,
&
Solus

Sola
;
The
Countess
divorsed
from
her
Husband
.
and
that
the
said
Lady
Frances
did
shew
her self
prompt
,
and
ready
to
be
known
of
him
;
and
that
the
said
Earl
neither
did
,
nor
could
have
knowledg
of
her
,
although
he
did
think
himself
able
to
have
knowledg
of
other
Women
.
And
that
the
said
Lady
Frances
,
by
inspection
of
her
Body
by
Midwives
,
expert
in
matter
of
Marriage
,
was
proved
to
be
apt
for
carnal
copulation
with
Man
,
and
yet
a
Virgin
.
Therefore
we
the
said
Iudges
deputed
in
the
Cause
,
first
invocating
the
Name
of
Christ
,
and
setting
God
before
our
eye
,
do
pronounce
,
decree
,
and
declare
,
That
the
Earl
of
Essex
,
for
some
secret
,
incurable
,
binding
impediment
,
did
never
carnally
know
,
or
was
,
or
is
able
carnally
to
know
,
the
Lady
Frances
Howard
:
And
therefore
we
do
pronounce
,
have
decreed
,
and
do
declare
,
the
pretended
Marriage
,
so
contracted
,
and
solemnized
,
de
facto
,
between
them
,
to
have
been
,
and
to
be
utterly
void
,
and
to
no
effect
;
and
that
they
did
want
,
and
ought
to
want
the
strength
of
the
Law
.
And
that
the
Lady
Frances
was
,
and
is
,
and
so
ought
to
be
free
,
and
at
liberty
,
from
any
Bond
of
such
pretended
Marriage
,
de
facto
,
contracted
and
solemnized
.
And
we
do
pronounce
,
that
she
ought
to
be
Divorsed
,
and
so
we
do
free
,
and
Divorce
her
;
leaving
them
,
as
touching
other
Marriages
,
to
their
Conscience
in
the
Lord
.
Which

not
suit
with
the
Countesses
implacable
humor
,
Their
poysons
set
a
work
.
Weston
is
chid
by
Mrs.
Turner
for
being
so
slow
.
But
he
that
knew
he
might
be
too
active
,
kept
on
his
old
pace
,
as
the
only
way
to
have
it
pass
unsuspected
,
aiming
at
his
own
preservation
,
as
well
as
Overburies
destruction
.
He
gets
therefore
(
by
the
help
of
Franklin
)
several
sorts
of
poysons
,
tempering
them
with
his
broaths
,
and
every
bit
of
meat
he
eat
,
that
he
might
diminish
by
degrees
;
for
his
very
Salt
was
mixt
with
white
Mercury
:
And
besides
these
,
Sir
Thomas
Monson
sent
Tarts
and
Jellies
of
the
Countesses
and
Mrs.
Turners
composition
(
by
some
of
his
servants
)
to
Weston
,
for
the
better
expedition
.
Thus
was
the
poor
Gentleman
tortured
and
rackt
in
a
horrid
distemper
,
who
being
young
,
and
of
a
strong
constitution
,
was
able
to
grapple
a
long
time
with
these
corroding
Tormentors
:
But
his
body
being
not
always
able
to
bear
it
,
at
length
he
fell
extreme
sick
,
and
having
no
friend
that
could
,
or
durst
visit
him
,
none
to
complain
to
but
the
causers
of
his
misery
(
such
strict
guards
were
kept
about
him
)
he
languished
both
in
body
and
mind
.
But
some
friend
by
accident
taking
the
advantage
for
a
visit
,
and
finding
him
very
sick
,
procured
him
a
wholsom
Glister
,
which
Weston
was
willing
enough
to
have
administred
,
because
he
would
not
be
too
quick
,
and
that
retarded
the
work
,
by
carrying
away
some
of
the
poysonous
matter
.
Which
Northhampton
hearing
,
the
Lieutenant
was
checkt
for
being
so
careless
,
and
commanded
that
none
should
come
near
him
,
being
fearful
lest
the
desperateness
of
his
condition
should
make
him
reveal
some
thing
of
high
concernment
,
that
had
been
machinated
among
them
.
And
Mrs.
Turner
rebuked
her
Minister
Weston
,
for
looking
no
better
to
his
charge
,
so
that
they
dealt
with
him
now
upon
a
new
account
.
The
Countess
got
loose
from
her
Husband
grows
wanton
in
her
prosperity
.
Nature
is
unbounded
where
neither
Law
nor
Grace
doth
limit
.
The
good
Earl
of
Essex
must
repay
the
Portion
,
to
do
which
he
is
forced
to
sell
Benington
in
Hartford-shire
,
a
very
gallant
seat
,
and
glad
he
is
rid
of
a
Torment
at
any
rate
.
She
now
mounted
on
her
Car
drives
over
all
oppositions
,
her
Beauties
shine
in
the
Court
(
as
she
would
have
it
)
she
is
the
Kings
Favourite
,
as
well
as
her
Husband
;
the
glories
of
her
Marriage
must
appear
there
,
and
she
is
a
fit
gift
for
the
King
to
bestow
,
he
that
took
her
away
from
one
Husband
,
can
give
her
to
another
,
who
must
be
of
equal
rank
to
her
,
that
she
may
not
descend
,
therefore
he
is
Created
Earl
of
Somerset
;
and
all
the
splendid
Equipage
,
Rochester
made
Earl
of
Somerset
,
4.
Nov.
married
5
Dec.
following
.
and
magnificent
Preparation
,
that
can
either
fill
a
Court
with
delight
,
or
People
with
admiration
,
are
not
wanting
for
the
Marriage
.
She
thinking
all
the
World
ignorant
of
her
sly
practices
,
hath
the
impudence
to
appear
in
the
habit
of
a
Virgin
,
with
her
hair
pendant
almost
to
her
feet
;
which
Ornament
of
her
Body
(
though
a
fair
one
)
could
not
cover
the
deformities
of
her
Soul
:
But
these
,
and
her
high
Elations
,
are
Clouds
to
her
Conscience
,
that
(
though
her
Bauds
might
for
her
)
her
indeed
lovely
Cheeks
did
not
betray
themselves
to
blushes
.
These
glorious
Days
are
seconded
with
as
glorious
Nights
,
where
Masks
and
Dancings
had
a
continued
motion
;
the
King
naturally
affecting
such
high-slying
Pastimes
,
and
banquetings
,
as
might
wrap
up
his
Spirit
,
and
keep
it
from
descending
towards
Earthly
things
.
Feasted
in
London
.
The
City
of
London
,
and
the
Court
at
White-hall
,
like
two
great
Stars
in
Conjunction
,
had
one
and
the
same
influence
,
and
operation
;
they
must
do
something
for
the
Man
whom
the
King
loves
:
Therefore
a
great
Feast
is
prepared
by
them
in
Merchant-Taylors
Hall
(
and
all
the
Grandees
and
Ladies
are
invited
)
with
so
much
magnificence
,
as
if
it
had
been
Competitor
,
and
vyed
with
Whitehall
for
Glory
.
They
all
rod
on
horseback
into
the
City
in
the
Evening
,
following
their
two
Leaders
;
the
Men
attending
the
Bridegroom
,
and
the
Women
the
Bride
;
so
mounted
,
furnished
,
and
adorned
with
Trappings
,
and
so
bespangled
with
Iewels
,
that
the
Torches
,
and
Flambeaux
(
which
were
numerous
)
were
but
little
light
to
the
Beholders
.
Overbury
hears
of
the
Marriage
.
The
noise
of
these
Triumphs
resounding
in
the
closest
Corners
,
brought
the
news
to
Sir
Thomas
Overbury
,
which
was
an
unfit
and
comfortless
Companion
to
a
Man
in
misery
,
conscious
to
himself
,
that
all
his
sufferings
proceeded
from
his
opposition
to
that
which
was
now
in
agitation
;
so
that
in
his
obscure
Prison
,
and
darker
thoughts
,
he
could
not
see
the
least
glimps
of
hope
that
looked
towards
liberty
,
when
he
considered
the
implacable
nature
of
the
Woman
.
But
yet
he
was
not
so
guilty
to
his
own
Reason
,
and
that
friendship
(
as
he
thought
)
that
was
betwixt
him
and
the
Earl
of
Somerset
,
as
utterly
to
despair
,
he
having
so
faithfully
promised
to
procure
his
Release
.
Writes
to
Somerset
.
Therefore
Overbury
writes
to
him
in
the
midst
of
his
glory
,
to
let
him
know
the
sad
condition
wherein
he
was
,
and
how
much
his
health
was
impaired
,
which
he
imputed
to
his
reclusedness
,
and
want
of
Air
,
humbly
imploring
his
assistance
,
that
he
might
no
longer
languish
under
the
burthens
of
his
infirmities
.
Somerset
not
willing
to
have
him
exclaim
made
answer
,
That
the
King
was
now
full
of
great
business
,
but
he
would
take
the
first
opportunity
to
move
him
for
his
Release
(
though
he
was
highly
incensed
against
him
)
and
make
his
indisposition
a
ground
for
the
Kings
mercy
to
work
upon
;
Somerset
sends
poysons
in
his
Answers
.
including
in
the
Letter
a
white
Powder
,
which
he
desired
him
to
take
,
assuring
him
,
that
though
it
made
him
a
little
sick
at
first
,
it
would
do
him
much
good
in
the
end
.
The
poor
abused
Gentleman
took
his
Powder
,
which
having
a
poysonous
Quality
,
added
to
his
affliction
:
But
there
must
be
something
more
violent
to
work
the
Feat
.
The
Lieutenant
of
the
Tower
(
that
was
his
frequent
Visitor
)
opened
his
Breast
to
his
complaints
,
The
Lieutenant
betrays
Overbury
.
and
with
an
outward
pity
received
them
,
against
those
that
were
Authors
of
his
calamities
,
and
discharged
them
again
into
their
bosoms
,
against
whom
they
were
spoken
;
so
that
he
could
say
nothing
that
came
not
to
their
knowledg
,
his
very
words
being
racked
,
as
well
as
his
body
tormented
.
For
the
Lieutenant
confest
after
,
with
repenting
tears
,
as
one
of
his
great
sins
,
that
he
was
unfaithful
and
treacherous
to
him
,
doing
things
to
his
disadvantage
that
he
trusted
him
to
do
,
promising
him
secrecy
,
and
betraying
him
to
satisfie
greatness
.
Thus
he
continued
in
this
dismal
Den
above
four
Months
,
whipt
daily
(
as
it
were
)
with
Scorpions
,
whose
venomous
stings
entred
even
into
his
Soul
.
So
that
his
Enemies
,
being
more
impatient
for
his
enduring
so
long
,
than
he
was
to
endure
so
much
,
forced
Nature
so
,
Overbury
dies
.
with
an
impoysoned
Glyster
,
(
compounded
by
Franklin
)
that
within
a
short
time
after
he
died
.
And
to
kill
him
again
after
death
,
Northampton
reviles
him
.
they
brand
him
with
the
scandal
of
a
lascivious
life
,
giving
out
,
that
he
died
of
the
Pox
:
Which
Northampton
expressed
to
Somerset
in
a
Letter
,
telling
him
of
strange
Sores
,
and
Vlcers
found
upon
his
Body
,
ugly
to
behold
,
stinking
intolerably
,
the
People
forced
to
throw
him
in
a
loose
Sheet
into
a
Coffin
,
and
bury
him
privately
on
Tower-Hill
:
Concluding
,
That
God
is
gracious
in
cutting
off
evil
Instruments
before
their
time
.
Which
Sentence
(
while
he
was
writing
it
)
reflected
the
judgment
on
himself
;
For
Northampton
having
a
great
influence
in
the
Kingdom
,
being
a
prime
Counsellor
to
the
King
,
and
intimate
with
Somerset
,
they
two
grasping
all
Power
,
and
Northampton
having
the
better
head
to
manage
it
,
the
miscarriages
were
,
not
without
cause
,
imputed
to
him
.
For
being
a
Papist
,
he
did
not
only
work
upon
Somerset
to
pervert
him
(
by
letting
him
see
there
was
a
greater
latitude
for
the
Conscience
in
that
Religion
)
but
got
him
to
procure
many
immunities
for
the
Papists
,
as
the
Kings
best
affected
Subjects
.
And
being
Lord
Warden
of
the
Cinque-Ports
,
A.
Reg.
12.
An.
Christi
1614.
he
gave
free
access
to
Priests
and
Iesuits
,
that
abundantly
flockt
again
into
the
Kingdom
,
the
operation
of
the
last
Proclamation
having
now
lost
the
vertue
:
And
a
Letter
being
discovered
which
he
had
written
to
Cardinal
Bellarmine
,
wherein
he
expresses
the
condition
of
the
Times
,
and
the
Kings
importunity
compelled
him
to
be
a
Protestant
in
shew
,
yet
nevertheless
his
heart
stood
firm
with
the
Papists
,
and
if
there
were
cause
he
would
express
it
;
with
much
more
to
this
purpose
.
These
things
first
muttered
,
then
urged
against
him
,
touched
him
to
the
heart
,
so
that
he
retired
,
disposed
of
his
Estate
,
Northampton
dies
.
and
dyed
.
He
had
a
great
mind
tending
towards
eminent
things
,
which
he
was
the
better
able
to
effect
,
by
living
a
Batchelor
to
an
old
Age
,
being
always
attended
(
and
he
loved
it
)
with
Gentlemen
of
Quality
,
to
whom
he
was
very
bountiful
.
His
affections
were
also
much
raised
to
Charity
,
as
by
the
Almshouse
he
erected
appears
,
and
his
Works
shew
him
to
be
a
great
getter
.
But
leaving
no
Issue
to
propagate
his
name
,
he
built
a
fair
House
by
Charing-cross
to
continue
it
,
which
it
lost
soon
after
his
death
,
being
called
Suffolk-house
for
a
time
,
and
now
is
Northumberland-house
.
Such
changes
there
are
in
the
Worlds
measures
!
His
Body
was
carried
to
be
buried
at
Dover
,
because
he
was
Warden
of
the
Cinque-Ports
,
as
was
reported
by
some
of
his
Followers
,
but
it
was
vulgarly
rumored
to
be
transported
to
Rome
.
But
these
actions
of
his
about
Overbury
lying
dormant
,
made
no
great
noise
at
this
time
against
him
;
but
when
they
broke
out
,
they
laid
upon
his
name
as
great
a
stench
as
Infamy
or
Oaium
could
produce
.

The
Spaniards
,
the
first
discoverers
,
being
more
covetous
to
grasp
,
than
well
able
to
plant
,
took
possession
of
the
most
precious
places
,
so
that
the
English
,
French
,
and
Dutch
,
caught
but
what
they
left
.
Sir
Walter
Rawleigh
and
others
(
after
Sir
Francis
Drake
)
found
out
that
Country
now
called
Virginia
,
which
was
long
since
planted
with
a
Colony
.
And
in
that
tract
of
Land
more
Northerly
,
New-England
described
.
within
the
degrees
of
40
and
48
of
latitude
,
lies
New-England
,
a
Climate
temperate
and
healthful
,
but
not
so
much
as
the
Old
.
It
is
rather
a
low
than
a
high
Land
,
full
of
Rocky-Capes
or
Promontories
.
The
Inmost
parts
of
the
Country
are
Mountainous
,
intermixt
with
fruitful
Vallies
,
and
large
Lakes
,
which
want
not
store
of
good
Fish
.
The
Hills
are
no
where
Barren
(
though
in
some
places
Stony
)
but
fruitful
in
Trees
and
Grass
.
There
are
many
Rivers
,
fresh
Brooks
and
Springs
,
that
run
into
the
Sea
.
The
Rivers
are
good
Harbors
,
and
abound
with
plenty
of
excellent
Fish
,
yet
are
they
full
of
Falls
,
which
makes
them
not
Navigable
far
into
the
Land
.
The
Seas
bordering
the
Shores
are
studded
with
Islands
,
about
which
great
Shoals
of
Fishes
(
Cod
,
Haddock
,
and
such
like
)
do
wantonly
sport
themselves
.
The
main
Land
doth
nourish
abundance
of
Deers
,
Bears
,
Wolves
,
and
a
beast
called
Moose
,
peculiar
to
those
Regions
;
and
the
Rivers
and
Ponds
are
stored
with
some
Beavers
,
Otters
,
and
Musquashes
.
There
are
also
divers
kinds
of
small
Beasts
,
but
the
most
offensive
are
Foxes
;
Fowls
there
are
store
in
their
several
seasons
,
as
Turkies
,
Geese
,
and
Ducks
;
and
the
soyl
naturally
produces
wild
Vines
with
very
large
Bunches
of
Grapes
,
but
the
extremity
of
heat
and
cold
hinder
their
just
temper
.
There
are
many
other
Fruits
which
are
very
good
,
with
Plants
,
whose
Rinds
or
Barks
transcends
our
Hemp
or
Flax
;
both
Air
and
Earth
concurring
to
bring
forth
most
things
that
Industry
and
Art
can
provide
for
the
use
of
man
.
The
first
that
sent
a
Colony
into
this
Country
,
Planted
first
1606.
was
the
Lord
Chief
Justice
Popham
,
in
the
year
1606.
A
man
highly
renowned
in
his
time
,
for
persecuting
such
as
transgressed
the
Laws
among
Christians
,
living
like
Beasts
of
prey
to
the
prejudice
of
Travellers
.
And
in
this
he
had
a
special
aim
,
and
hope
also
,
to
establish
Christian
Laws
among
Infidels
;
and
by
domestical
,
to
chace
away
those
ferous
,
and
indomitable
Creatures
,
that
infested
the
Land
:
Brave
and
gallant
spirits
having
ever
such
publick
ends
.
But
Planters
are
like
Alchymists
,
they
have
something
in
projection
,
that
many
times
fails
in
production
.
It
is
conceived
the
Romans
were
not
well
advised
to
settle
one
of
their
first
Colonies
at
Maldon
in
Essex
,
whose
soyl
about
,
is
neither
yet
sound
,
nor
Air
salubrious
.
And
the
first
opening
of
ground
in
a
Climate
not
Natural
,
hath
an
extraordinary
operation
upon
the
Bodies
of
Men
,
whose
Senses
must
comply
to
give
entertainment
to
a
Stranger
,
that
often
spoils
the
place
where
it
finds
Hospitality
.
For
the
first
Planters
of
New-England
having
seated
themselves
low
,
few
of
them
were
left
,
to
direct
those
that
succeeded
,
in
a
better
way
.
Yet
People
,
by
dear
experience
,
overcame
it
by
degrees
,
being
yearly
supplied
by
men
,
whose
industry
and
affections
taught
them
,
there
was
more
hope
to
find
safety
in
New-England
than
in
the
Old
.
Somersets
devices
to
get
Money
.
Though
these
found
some
stop
,
yet
our
great
Favourite
,
the
Earl
of
Somerset
,
and
his
business
,
runs
smoothly
,
without

,
since
Overburies
death
.
But
he
must
alter
his
Bias
,
and
go
less
,
or
find
some
new
ways
to
bring
in
Monies
;
the
Revenues
of
the
Crown
are
not
competent
to
maintain
such
vast
Expences
,
accumulated
by
his
Riot
,
though
he
had
all
the
Earl
of
Westmorelands
Lands
at
his
Marriage
,
and
Creation
,
added
to
his
Earldom
.
There
must
be
therefore
a
new
Order
of
Baronets
made
,
in
number
two
hundred
,
that
must
be
next
Degree
to
Barons
,
and
these
must
pay
a
thousand
pound
a
piece
for
their
Honour
,
having
it
by
Patent
under
the
great
Seal
,
and
continued
to
Posterity
with
the
Title
of
Knights
.
Some
of
these
new
Honourable
men
(
whose
Wives
pride
,
and
their
own
Prodigalities
had
pumpt
up
to
it
)
were
so
drained
,
that
they
had
not
moisture
to
maintain
the
radical
humour
,
but
wither'd
no
nothing
.
This
money
thus
raised
,
is
pretended
for
planting
the
North
of
Ireland
,
but
it
found
many
other
Chanels
,
before
it
came
to
that
Sea
.
And
though
at
our
Kings
first
access
to
the
Crown
,
there
was
a
glut
of
Knights
made
,
yet
after
some
time
he
held
his
hand
,
left
the
Kingdom
should
be
cloyed
with
them
:
And
the
World
thriv'd
so
well
with
some
,
that
the
price
was
afterwards
brought
up
to
three
hundred
pounds
a
piece
.
But
now
again
,
the
poor
Courtiers
were
so
indigent
,
that
sixty
pounds
would
purchase
a
Knighthood
,
the
King
wanting
other
means
to
gratifie
his
Servants
.
The
Kings
Bounty
.
Yet
he
was
of
so
free
a
Nature
,
and
careless
of
Money
,
when
he
had
it
(
though
solicitous
to
get
it
)
that
he
batled
in
his
own
bounty
.
For
being
one
day
in
the
Gallery
at
White-hall
,
and
none
with
him
but
Sir
Henry
Rich
(
who
was
second
Son
to
the
Earl
of
Warwick
)
afterwards
Earl
of
Holland
,
a
Gentleman
of
excellent
Natural
Parts
,
but
youthfully
expensive
;
and
Iames
Maxwel
,
one
of
his
Bed
Chamber
;
some
Porters
past
by
them
,
with
three
thousand
pounds
,
going
to
the
Privy
Purse
:
Sir
Henry
Rich
whispering
Maxwel
,
the
King
turned
upon
them
,
and
asked
Maxwel
,
what
says
he
?
what
says
he
?
Maxwel
told
him
,
he
wisht
he
had
so
much
money
;
Marry
shalt
thou
Harry
,
(
saith
the
King
)
and
presently
commanded
the
Porters
to
carry
it
to
his
Lodging
,
with
this
Expression
,
You
think
now
you
have
a
great
Purchase
;
but
I
am
more
delighted
to
think
how
much
I
have
pleasured
you
in
giving
this
money
,
than
you
can
be
in
receiving
it
.
This
Story
intervenes
,
to
shew
the
Temper
of
his
Mind
.
About
this
time
also
Gold
was
raised
to
two
shillings
in
the
pound
,
Gold
raised
.
occasioned
from
the
high
value
set
upon
it
abroad
,
which
made
the
Merchant
transport
it
.
But
the
first
Inhancers
can
make
their
Markets
,
by
ingrossing
great
Sums
;
especially
the
Payments
of
those
times
,
and
all
this
Kings
Reign
,
being
for
the
most
part
in
Gold
so
that
it
might
be
called
the
Golden
Age
;
that
it
is
a
wonder
now
,
what
gulf
hath
swallowed
those
great
sums
,
if
their
golden
wings
be
not
flown
to
the
Sun-rising
.
But
these
little
projects
will
bring
in
but
small
store
of
money
,
to
maintain
the
Work
;
many
such
Materials
must
go
,
to
make
up
a
Royal
Building
,
and
little
Streams
will
not
easily
fill
a
Cistern
that
hath
many
Issues
.
A
Parliament
can
furnish
all
:
but
who
dare
venture
on
such
Refractory
Spirits
?
Yet
there
was
a
generation
about
the
Court
,
A
Parliament
undertaken
.
that
to
please
and
humour
Greatness
,
undertook
a
Parliament
;
as
men
presuming
to
have
Friends
in
every
County
,
and
Borough
,
who
(
by
their
Power
among
the
People
)
would
make
Election
of
such
Members
for
Knights
and
Burgesses
,
as
should
comply
solely
to
the
Kings
desires
;
and
Somerset
is
the
Head
and
Chief
of
these
Vndertakers
.
But
this
was
but
an
Embrion
,
and
became
an
Abortive
.
The
English
Freedom
cannot
be
lost
by
a
few
base
and
tame
spirits
,
that
would
unmake
themselves
,
and
their
Posterity
,
to
ingrandize
one
Man
.
For
the
Parliament
meeting
according
to
their
Summons
,
such
Faces
appeared
there
,
as
made
the
Court
droop
;
who
,
instead
of
Contributing
to
the
Kings
wants
,
lay
open
his
wasts
,
especially
upon
the
Scots
,
with
whom
they
desire
medietatem
linguae
,
a
share
of
favour
:
The
Bread
(
by
our
Saviours
rule
)
properly
belonging
to
the
Children
of
the
Kingdom
.
And
they
beseech
His
Majesty
to
stop
the
Current
of
future
access
of
that
Nation
to
make
residence
here
,
having
enough
to
eat
up
their
own
Crums
.
They
enquire
into
the
Causes
of
the
unexpected
increase
of
Popish
Recusants
,
since
the
Gun-Powder
Plot
,
the
detestation
whereof
(
they
thought
)
should
have
utterly
extinguished
them
;
and
they
find
it
to
the
Admission
of
Popish
Nobility
into
his
Counsels
;
the
silencing
of
many
watchful
,
and
diligent
Ministers
;
the
divers
Treaties
his
Majesty
hath
entertained
,
not
only
for
the
Marriage
of
the
deceased
Prince
Henry
,
but
for
Prince
Charles
that
now
liveth
,
with
the
Daughters
of
Popish
Princes
,
which
dis-heartneth
the
Protestant
,
and
encourageth
the
Recusant
;
laying
open
with
these
,
many
other
miscarriages
in
Government
,
which
the
King
willing
to
have
concealed
,
stopt
them
in
their
Course
,
dissolving
the
Parliament
,
and
committing
to
the
Tower
and
other
Princes
(
the
beginning
of
incroachment
upon
the
publick
liberties
)
such
as
were
most
active
for
the
Common
good
.
These
fair
Blossoms
not
producing
the
hoped-for
fruit
,
they
find
out
new
Projects
to
manure
the
People
;
different
much
in
name
and
nature
;
A
Benevolence
required
.
a
Benevolence
,
extorted
;
a
Free-gift
against
their
wills
was
urged
upon
them
,
and
they
that
did
not
give
in
their
money
,
must
give
in
their
names
,
which
carried
a
kind
of
fright
with
it
.
But
the
most
knowing
men
(
like
so
many
Pillars
to
the
Kingdoms
liberties
)
supported
their
Neighbours
tottering
Resolutions
,
with
assuring
them
,
that
these
kind
of
Benevolences
were
against
Law
,
Reason
and
Religion
.
First
against
Law
,
being
prohibited
by
divers
Acts
of
Parliament
;
and
a
Curse
pronounced
against
the
infringers
of
them
.
Secondly
,
against
Reason
,
that
a
particular
man
should
oppose
his
judgment
and
discretion
,
to
the
wisdom
and
judgment
of
the
King
assembled
in
Parliament
,
who
have
there
denyed
any
such
aid
.
Thirdly
against
Religion
That
a
King
violating
his
Oath
(
taken
at
his
Coronation
for
maintaining
the
Laws
,
Liberties
,
and
Customs
of
the
Realm
)
should
be
assisted
by
the
people
in
an
Act
of
so
much
Injustice
and
Impiety
.
These
,
and
many
other
Arguments
instilled
into
the
people
by
some
good
Patriots
,
were
great
impediments
to
the
Benevolence
:
So
that
they
got
but
little
money
,
and
lost
a
great
deal
of
love
:
For
no
Levies
do
so
much
decline
,
and
abase
the
love
and
spirits
of
the
people
,
as
unjust
Levies
.
Subsidies
get
more
of
their
money
,
but
Exactions
enslave
the
mind
;
for
they
either
raise
them
above
,
or
depress
them
beneath
their
sufferings
,
which
are
equally
mischievous
,
and
to
be
avoided
.
The
King
of
Denmarks
second
coming
.
This
Summer
the
King
of
Denmark
revisited
his
Sister
the
Queen
of
England
,
with
some
forty
Lords
,
Gentlemen
,
and
others
in
his
Train
;
landing
at
Yarmouth
,
and
passing
directly
to
London
,
took
up
his
Lodging
in
our
Common
Inns
,
and
was
not
known
but
for
some
Outlandish
Nobleman
,
till
he
came
to
the
Queens
Palace
in
the
Strand
,
where
she
was
surprized
with
the
unexpected
joy
of
a
Brothers
company
,
distanced
from
her
by
the
interest
of
his
people
,
the
great
Bar
that
hinders
Princes
the
common
civilities
and
happiness
of
their
Inferiors
.
But
the
joy
continued
not
long
;
for
after
some
fourteen
days
interview
,
they
parted
again
.
But
those
days
had
such
a
plenitude
of
all
those
delights
that
contend
to
satisfaction
,
as
if
a
great
deal
of
more
time
had
been
involved
and
contracted
in
them
.

VICECOM:
ROFFEN
:
ETc
The
lively
portraict
of
the
Lady
Francis
Countesse
of
Somerset
Sir
Ralph
Winwood
,
who
had
been
Lieger-Ambassador
with
the
States
in
the
Netherlands
,
for
his
abilities
and
good
service
had
merited
so
much
from
the
King
,
that
he
made
him
Secretary
of
State
;
The
Queen
closes
with
him
,
the
better
to
discover
Somersets
miscarriages
,
and
he
was
ready
enough
to
oblige
her
;
for
Somerset
made
him
but
an
Vnderling
,
grasping
all
Publick
imployments
into
his
own
hand
,
not
caring
whom
he
disobliged
,
or
what
Malice
he
pulled
upon
himself
;
for
like
a
Coloss
he
stood
the
brunt
of
all
the
Tempests
of
Envy
,
making
those
that
carried
the
greatest
sail
to
strike
and
come
under
him
.
Nor
would
he
suffer
any
place
in
Court
,
or
dignity
in
State
,
to
be
bestowed
;
which
was
not
sweetned
with
his
smile
that
gave
it
,
or
their
bounty
that
injoyed
it
;
so
that
(
it
was
thought
)
he
ingrossed
a
mass
of
Coin
,
as
if
his
soul
intended
to
take
her
ease
.
This
Pride
and
Covetousness
added
to
his
other
miscarriages
such
a
number
of
Vnderminers
,
that
he
stood
upon
a
tottering
foundation
,
having
no
support
but
the
Kings
favour
,
which
,
whether
by
Providence
from
above
,
or
purposes
below
(
both
ever
concurring
from
the
Will
to
the
Means
)
was
soon
removed
.
For
about
this
time
the
King
cast
his
eye
upon
a
young
Gentleman
,
George
Villers
a
favourite
.
so
rarely
moulded
,
that
he
meant
to
make
him
a
Master-piece
:
His
name
was
George
Villers
,
he
was
second
Son
to
Sir
George
Villers
,
a
Knight
of
Leicester-shire
,
by
a
second
Venter
:
For
the
old
man
coming
to
Colehorton
in
that
County
,
to
visit
his
Kinswoman
the
Lady
Beaumont
,
found
a
young
Gentlewoman
of
that
name
,
allyed
,
and
yet
a
servant
to
the
Lady
,
who
being
of
a
handsom
presence
,
and
countenance
,
took
his
affections
,
and
he
married
her
.
This
was
the
soil
where
the
glorious
Cedar
grew
?
who
having
only
the
breeding
and
portion
of
a
younger
Brother
,
with
the
Mothers
help
and
travel
,
got
the
addition
of
a
French
garb
,
which
brought
him
to
the
Court
in
no
greater
a
condition
than
fifty
pounds
a
year
is
able
to
maintain
.
The
King
strucken
with
this
new
object
,
A.
Reg.
13.
An.
Christi
1615.
would
not
expose
him
to
so
much
hazard
as
the
malice
of
a
jealous
Competitor
,
nor
him self
to
so
much
censure
,
as
to
be
thought
changeable
,
and
taken
again
with
a
sudden
affection
▪
therefore
he
instructs
some
of
his
Confidents
to
bring
him
in
by
degrees
;
who
intimated
the
Kings
pleasure
to
him
,
that
he
should
wait
Cup
bearer
at
large
,
being
so
,
at
too
strait
a
distance
of
place
,
to
have
any
mark
of
favour
for
suspition
to
level
at
.
And
if
the
King
had
not
received
a
new
Impression
thus
,
the
old
Character
of
Somerset
that
was
imprinted
in
his
soul
,
could
not
so
soon
(
as
many
men
thought
)
have
been
blotted
out
.
But
Courts
that
are
the
wisest
,
though
not
the
most
vertuous
Schools
,
do
teach
their
Scholars
to
observe
the
Seasons
,
and
by
the
Astronomy
of
the
Princes
eye
,
to
calculate
what
Fortune
such
Aspects
,
and
such
Conjunctions
may
happily
produce
:
And
they
found
so
much
as
gave
them
incouragement
to
hear
,
and
boldness
to
discover
,
that
which
pulled
down
the

and

Somersets
decline
1615.
But
Somerset
that
had
the
pulse
of
his
Conscience
always
beating
at
Overburies
door
,
was
as
active
to
preserve
himself
,
as
his
Enemies
were
to
ruin
him
:
and
finding
himself
shaking
(
though
there
was
nothing
yet
laid
to
his
Charge
,
but
the
imbezelling
some
of
the
Crown
Iewels
)
he
throws
himself
at
the
Kings
feet
,
acknowledging
the
great
Trust
his
Majesty
had
reposed
in
him
,
and
the
weight
of
business
lying
on
him
,
might
make
him
incounter
him
with
some
miscarriages
through
youth
and
ignorance
(
great
imployments
often
meeting
with
envy
,
that
jossels
them
in
the
way
)
he
therefore
humbly
besought
his
Majesty
to
grant
him
a
general
Pardon
for
what
was
past
,
that
he
might
not
be
exposed
to
the
malice
of
those
that
would
wrest
all
his
Actions
to
the
worst
meaning
.
The
King
that
raised
this
fair
Edifice
,
being
loth
to
have
it
quite
pulled
down
again
,
gave
order
for
the
drawing
up
of
a
general
Pardon
,
in
so
ample
and
full
a
manner
,
that
it
might
rather
exceed
,
than
take
rise
from
any
former
precedent
;
This
the
King
signed
and
sent
to
the
Great
Seal
;
But
the
Queen
having
notice
of
it
,
and
using
her
Power
with
the
Lord
Chancellor
,
gave
stop
to
the
Seal
till
the
Kings
coming
to
Town
(
who
was
on
his
Progress
in
the
West
)
and
then
what
was
mutter'd
in
corners
before
,
rung
openly
in

Streets
:
For

Sir
Ralph
Winwood
by

his

God
(
by
the
means
and
persuasion
of
the
Bishop
of
London
,
Doctor
King
,
a
man
eminent
for
piety
in
his
time
)
so
wrought
upon
his
heart
,
that
the
eye
of
his
soul
being
opened
to
the
foulness
of
his
sin
,
he
discovered
all
,
so
that
the
whole
Confederacy
were
laid
hold
on
;
Who
falling
into
the
hands
of
the
Lord
Chief
Justice
Cook
(
a
Spirit
of
a
fiery
exhalation
,
as
subtil
as
active
)
he
left
no
stone
unturned
,
till
he
had
ript
up
the
very
foundation
.
But
in
the
mean
time
,
between
Westons
standing
mute
,
and
his
Trial
,
one
Lumsden
a
Scotchman
,
took
upon
him
to
make
a
false
and
libellous
Relation
of
the
business
,
and
delivers
it
to
Henry
Gib
of
the
Bed-Chamber
,
to
be
put
into
the
Kings
hand
;
in
which
Writing
he
falsifies
and
perverts
all
that
was
done
the
first
day
of
Westons
Arraignment
,
turning
the
edg
of
his
imputations
upon
the
Lord
Chief
Justice
Cook
:
which
Bolt
was
boldly
shot
by
him
,
but
it
was
thought
not
to
come
out
of
his
own
Quiver
;
and
it
lighted
into
an
ill
hand
for
him
,
for
the
King
discovered
it
,
and
left
him
an
open
Mark
to
that
Iustice
,
he
had
traduced
.
Weston
was
the
first
that
suffered
by
the
hand
of
the
Law
;
which
Sir
Iohn
Hollis
(
after
Earl
of
Clare
)
out
of
friendship
to
Somerset
;
and
Sir
Iohn
Wentworth
,
a
Person
debauched
and
riotous
(
hoping
from
the
beams
of
of
Somersets
favour
to
increase
his
wanting
fortunes
)
strove
to
blast
in
the
spring
;
Weston
executed
.
for
they
rod
to
Tyburn
,
and
urged
him
at
his
Execution
to
deny
all
,
hoping
that
way
to
prevent
the
Autumn
that
followed
:
but
Westons
Soul
being
prepared
for
Death
,
resisted
their
temptations
,
sealing
penitently
the
Truth
of
his
Confession
with
his
last
.
And
this
attempt
of
Hollu
,
Wentworth
,
and
Lumsden
,
to
pervert
Iustice
being
aggravated
against
them
in
the
Star-Chamber
by
the
Kings
Atturney
,
Sir
Francis
Bacon
,
they
were
sentenced
there
,
and
found
the
reward
of
their
Presumption
.
Mrs.
Turner
.
Mistris
Turner
followed
next
:
A
Pattern
of
Pride
and
Lust
;
who
having
always
given
a
loose
Rein
to
her
life
,
she
ran
this
carreer
at
last
into
the
jaws
of
death
.
Sir
Ierv
.
Ellowis
.
Sir
Iervis
Ellowis
,
Lieutenant
of
the
Tower
,
was
the
third
,
who
suffered
on
Tower
Hill
;
a
Man
much
pitied
,
being
drawn
in
by
the
allurements
of
Northampton
to
be
a
Spectator
rather
than
an
Actor
in
this
bloody
Tragedy
;
but
his
Connivence
cost
him
his
life
.
And
being
a
man
full
of
sorrow
for
his
offence
,
he
left
two
Pillars
behind
him
at
his
death
,
for
Watch-Towers
to
all
that
pass
by
,
in
this
Bark
of
frail
Mortality
,
to
prevent
Shipwrack
.
One
was
,
Not
to
vow
any
thing
to
God
,
but
to
perform
it
.
The
other
was
,
Not
to
take
a
pride
in
any
Parts
,
though
never
so
excellent
.
For
the
first
,
he
said
he
was
a
great
Gamester
,
and
loved
it
;
and
having
lost
one
time
much
money
,
he
seriously
and
advisedly
,
between
God
and
his
own
Soul
,
clapping
his
hand
on
his
breast
,
spake
thus
(
as
it
were
to
God
)
If
ever
I
play
again
,
then
let
me
be
hanged
!
and
breaking
my
Vow
(
said
he
)
now
God
hath
paid
my
Imprecation
home
.
The
second
was
,
He
took
a
great
delight
in
his
Pen
,
And
that
Pen
(
to
use
his
own
words
)
which
I
was
so
proud
of
,
hath
struck
me
dead
,
and
,
like
Absolons
hair
,
hath
hanged
me
;
for
there
dropt
a
word
or
two
from
my
Pen
,
in
a
Letter
to
the
Earl
of
Northampton
,
which
upon
my
salvation
I
am
not
able
to
answer
:
At
my
Arraignment
I
pleaded
hard
for
my
life
,
and
protested
mine
innocency
;
but
when
my
own
Pen
came
against
me
,
I
was
not
able
to
speak
for
my self
,
but
stood
as
one
amazed
,
or
that
had
no
tongue
.
Such
damps
doth
guiltiness
cast
upon
the
Spirit
!
The
fourth
that
fell
by
the
stroke
of
Iustice
,
was
Franklin
,
a
Fellow
as
sordid
in
his
death
,
And
Franklin
.
as
pernicious
in
his
life
,
whose
name
deserves
not
so
much
as
memory
.
JOHN
HOLLES
1st
,
EARL
OF
CLARE
.
She
died
before
him
.
The
Countesses
description
in
her
death
.
Her
death
was
infamous
,
his
without
fame
,
the
obscurity
of
the
rest
of
his
life
darkning
the
splendor
of
it
.
And
though
she
died
(
as
it
were
)
in
a
corner
(
in
so
private
a
condition
)
the
loathsomeness
of
her
death
made
it
as
conspicuous
as
on
the
house
top
:
For
that
part
of
her
Body
which
had
been
the
receptacle
of
most
of
her
sin
,
grown
rotten
(
though
she
never
had
but
one
Child
)
the
ligaments
failing
,
it
fell
down
,
and
was
cut
away
in
flakes
,
with
a
most
nauseous
and
putrid
savour
;
which
to
augment
,
she
would
roul
her self
in
her
own
ordure
in
her
bed
,
took
delight
in
it
.
Thus
her
affections
varied
;
For
nothing
could
be
found
sweet
enough
to
augment
her
Beauties
at
first
,
and
nothing
stinking
enough
to
decipher
her
loathsomeness
at
last
:
Pardon
the
sharpness
of
these
expressions
,
for
they
are
for
the
Glory
of
God
,
who
often
makes
his
punishments
(
in
the
ballance
of
his
Iustice
)
of
equal
weight
with
our
sins
.
For
his
Person
,
Somersets
in
his
life
.
He
was
rather
well
compacted
than
tall
;
his
features
and
favour
comely
,
and
handsome
,
rather
than
beautiful
;
the
hair
of
his
head
flaxen
,
that
of
his
face
tinctured
with
yellow
,
of
the
Sycambrian
colour
:
In
his
own
nature
,
of
a
gentle
mind
,
and
affable
disposition
,
having
publick
affections
,
till
they
were
all
swallowed
up
in
this
gulf
of
beauty
,
which
did
precipitate
him
into
these
dangerous
Contrivances
.
For
that
which
made
his
friendship
false
,
diverted
his
publick
affection
to
his
private
interest
;
and
when
he
found
himself
guilty
of
what
he
thought
might
ruin
him
,
he
grew
covetous
to
heap
that
together
,
which
he
thought
might
preserve
him
;
So
that
at
one
breach
that
our
Corruptions
make
,
many
mischiefs
follow
in
the
crowd
.
And
if
he
had
not
met
with
such
a
Woman
,
he
might
have
been
a
good
man
:
but
trials
,
and
strong
temptations
,
enhanceth
the
Price
of
Vertue
;
the
conflict
is
gallant
,
but
to
be
overcome
debaseth
a
man
the
more
,
by
how
much
his
fall
is
the
greater
.
I
was
loth
to
separate
these
Delinquents
in
their
Trials
(
being
close
woven
)
by
the
length
of
Sir
Francis
Bacons
Speech
in
the
Star-Chamber
,
against
Hollis
,
Wentworth
,
and
Lumsden
.
But
knowing
what
an
Ornament
his
Oratory
will
give
to
this
Story
,
and
how
usual
it
was
for
ancient
Historians
to
insert
their
Harangues
of
State
,
A.
Reg.
14.
An.
Christi
1616.
as
well
as
Military
Orations
,
I
could
not
decline
this
,
though
it
comes
almost
in
the
Rere
;
the
rather
because
it
will
serve
as
a
Seal
and
Confirmation
of
what
is
formerly
written
.
And
thus
it
was
.
Sir
Francis
Bacons
Speech
in
Star-chamber
.
THE
Offence
wherewith
I
shall
charge
the
three
Offenders
at
the
Bar
,
is
a
misdemeanour
of
a
high
Nature
,
tending
to
the
defacing
and
scandal
of
Iustice
,
in
a
great
Cause
Capital
.
The
particular
Charge
is
this
:
the
King
among
many
of
his
Princely
Vertues
,
is
known
to
excel
in
that
proper
Vertue
of
the
Imperial
Throne
,
which
is
Iustice
;
it
is
a
Master
Vertue
,
unto
which
the
other
three
are
ministrant
,
and
do
service
:
Wisdom
serveth
to
discover
,
and
discern
of
Innocencies
,
and
Guiltiness
;
Fortitude
is
to
persecute
,
and
execute
;
and
Temperance
so
to
carry
Iustice
,
as
it
be
not
passionate
in
the
pursuit
,
nor
confused
in
valuing
Persons
,
nor
precipitate
in
Time
.
For
this
his
Majesties
Vertue
of
Iustice
,
God
hath
of
late
raised
an
Occasion
,
and
erected
(
as
it
were
)
a
Stage
,
or
Theatre
,
much
for
his
Honour
,
to
shew
,
and
act
it
,
in
the
pursuit
of
the
violent
untimely
death
of
Sir
Thomas
Overbury
,
and
therein
cleansing
the
Land
from
blood
.
For
if
blood
doth
cry
to
Heaven
in
Gods
ears
,
this
is
a
stench
,
I
may
say
,
in
the
Nostrils
of
God
and
Man
.
This
work
of
Iustice
,
the
greater
and
more
excellent
it
is
,
you
will
soon
conclude
,
the
greater
is
the
offence
of
any
that
have
sought
to
affront
or
traduce
it
.
And
therefore
,
before
I
descend
unto
the
particular
Charge
of
these
Offenders
,
I
will
say
somewhat
of
the
Crime
of
Impoysonment
;
somewhat
of
the
particular
Circumstances
of
this
Fact
upon
Overbury
;
and
thirdly
,
of
the
Kings
great
and
worthy
care
and
carriage
in
this
business
.
The
offence
of
Impoysonment
is
most
truly
figured
in
that
Device
and
Description
which
was
made
of
the
nature
of
Caius
Caligula
,
That
he
was
Lutum
sanguine
maceratum
,
Mire
cemented
with
blood
:
For
as
it
is
one
of
the
highest
offences
in
guiltiness
,
so
it
is
the
basest
of
all
others
in
the
minds
of
Offenders
.
Treason
,
Magnum
aliquid
spectant
,
they
aim
at
great
things
;
but
this
is
vile
and
base
.
I
have
found
in
the
Book
of
God
,
examples
of
all
other
offences
,
but
not
any
one
of
an
Impoysonment
,
or
an
Impoysoner
.
I
find
mention
of
some
fear
of
casual
Impoysonments
;
when
the
Waters
were
corrupted
and
bitter
,
they
came
complaining
in
a
fearful
manner
,
Master
,
Mors
in
olla
:
And
I
find
mention
of
Poysons
of
Beasts
,
and
Serpents
,
The
Poysons
of
Asps
is
under
their
lips
,
saith
the
Psalm
,
but
I
find
no
mention
in
a
Human
Creature
,
of
a
malicious
and
murtherous
Impoysonment
.
Let
their
table
be
made
a
snare
,
is
certainly
most
true
of
Impoysonment
,
but
that
I
think
was
meant
of
the
Treachery
of
Friends
,
that
were
participant
of
the
same
Table
.
This
is
an
offence
that
hath
two
spurs
of
offending
,
Spes
perficiendi
,
&
spes
celandi
,
it
is
easily
committed
and
concealed
.
It
is
an
offence
,
that
is
,
Tanquam
sagitta
nocte
volans
,
it
is
the
Arrow
that
flies
by
night
,
it
discerns
not
whom
it
hits
:
for
many
times
the
poyson
is
laid
for
one
,
and
another
takes
it
.
As
in
Sanders
case
,
where
the
poysoned
Apple
was
laid
for
the
Mother
,
and
the
Child
eat
it
.
And
so
in
that
notorious
Case
,
whereupon
the
Statute
of
22
Hen.
8.
cap.
9.
was
made
,
where
the
intent
being
but
to
poyson
one
or
two
,
poyson
was
put
in
a
little
Vessel
of
Barm
that
stood
in
the
Kitchen
at
the
Bishop
of
Rochesters
house
,
of
which
Barm
,
Pottage
or
Grewel
was
made
,
wherewith
seventeen
of
the
Bishops
Family
were
poysoned
,
nay
,
divers
of
the
poor
that
came
to
the
Bishops-gate
,
and
had
the
Pottage
in
Alms
,
were
likewise
poysoned
.
Here
is
great
talk
of
Impoysonment
,
I
hope
I
am
safe
,
I
have
no
enemies
,
nor
any
thing
men
can
long
for
;
that
is
all
one
;
for
he
may
sit
at
the
Table
by
one
,
for
whom
poyson
is
prepared
,
and
have
a
drench
of
his
Cup
or
of
his
Pottage
,
and
so
(
as
the
Poet
saith
)
Concidit
infelix
alieno
vulnere
,
he
may
die
another
mans
death
,
and
therefore
it
was
most
gravely
,
judiciously
,
and
properly
provided
by
that
Statute
,
that
Impoysonment
should
be
High-Treason
,
because
whatsoever
offence
tendeth
to
the
utter
subversion
and
dissolution
of
Human
Society
is
in
the
nature
of
High-Treason
,
But
it
is
an
offence
,
that
I
may
truly
say
of
it
,
Non
est
nostri
generis
nec
sanguinis
;
It
is
,
thanks
be
to
God
,
rare
in
the
Isle
of
Britain
:
It
is
neither
of
our
Country
,
nor
of
our
Church
;
You
may
find
it
in
Rome
,
and
Italy
,
there
is
a
Religion
for
it
,
if
it
should
come
among
us
,
it
were
better
living
in
a
Wilderness
than
in
a
Court.
For
the
particular
fact
upon
Overbury
;
I
knew
the
Gentleman
,
it
is
true
,
his
mind
was
great
,
but
it
moved
not
in
any
great
good
order
,
yet
certainly
it
did
commonly
fly
at
good
things
;
and
the
greatest
fault
that
ever
I
heard
by
him
,
was
,
That
he
made
his
Friend
his
Idol
.
But
take
him
as
he
was
,
the
Kings
Prisoner
in
the
Tower
,
and
then
see
how
the
Case
stands
.
In
that
place
the
State
is
(
as
it
were
)
a
Respondent
to
make
good
the
Body
of
the
Prisoner
,
and
if
any
thing
happen
to
him
there
,
it
may
(
though
not
in
this
Case
,
yet
in
some
others
)
make
an
aspersion
,
and
reflexion
upon
the
State
it self
:
For
the
person
is
utterly
void
of
his
own
defence
,
his
own
care
and
providence
can
serve
him
to
nothing
;
He
is
in
the
custody
and
preservation
of
Law
,
and
we
have
a
Maxim
in
our
Law
,
that
when
a
State
is
in
preservation
of
Law
,
nothing
can
destroy
it
,
or
hurt
it
,
and
God
forbid
but
the
like
should
be
in
Persons
,
and
therefore
this
was
a
circumstance
of
great
aggravation
.
Lastly
,
To
have
a
man
chased
to
death
,
in
a
manner
,
as
it
appears
now
by
matter
of
Record
(
for
other
privacy
of
Cause
I
know
not
)
by
poyson
after
poyson
:
First
Rosaker
,
then
Arsnick
,
then
Mercury
sublimate
,
then
sublimate
again
,
it
is
a
thing
would
astonish
mans
nature
to
hear
it
.
The
Poets
feign
that
the
Furies
had
Whips
,
and
that
they
were
corded
with
poysoned
Snakes
;
and
a
man
would
think
that
this
subject
were
the
very
Case
:
To
have
a
man
tied
to
a
post
,
and
to
scourge
him
to
death
with
Serpents
,
for
so
truly
may
diversity
of
poysons
be
termed
.
It
pleased
my
Lord
Chief
Justice
to
let
me
know
that
which
I
heard
with
great
comfort
,
which
was
the
charge
that
his
Majesty
gave
to
himself
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Commissioners
in
this
Case
,
worthy
to
be
written
in
Letters
of
Gold
,
That
the
business
should
be
carried
without
touch
to
any
that
was
innocent
,
not
only
without
impeachment
,
but
without
aspersion
,
which
was
a
most
Noble
and
Princely
caution
;
for
mens
Reputations
are
tender
things
,
and
ought
to
be
like
Christs
Coat
without
seam
.
And
it
was
more
to
be
respected
in
this
Case
,
because
it
met
with
two
great
Persons
;
A
Nobleman
that
his
Majesty
had
favoured
and
advanced
,
and
his
Lady
,
being
of
a
great
and
Honourable
House
,
though
I
think
it
be
true
that
the
Writers
say
,
that
there
is
no
Pomegranate
so
fair
,
or
so
sound
,
but
may
have
a
perished
Kernel
.
Nay
,
I
see
plainly
in
those
excellent
Papers
of
his
Majesties
own
hand-writing
(
as
so
many
beams
of
Iustice
issuing
from
that
Vertue
which
so
much
doth
shine
in
him
)
the
business
so
evenly
carried
without
prejudice
,
whether
it
were
a
true
Accusation
on
the
one
part
,
or
a
practice
or
false
Accusation
on
the
other
,
as
shewed
plainly
that
his
Majesties
judgment
was
,
Tanquam
tabula
rasa
,
as
a
clean
pair
of
Tables
,
and
his
ears
,
Tanquam
janua
aperta
,
as
a
gate
not
side
open
,
but
wide
open
to
the
Truth
,
as
it
should
be
discovered
.
And
I
may
truly
affirm
,
that
there
was
never
in
this
Kingdom
,
nor
in
any
other
,
the
blood
of
a
private
Gentleman
vindicated
,
Cum
tanto
motu
Regni
,
or
to
say
better
,
Cum
tanto
plausu
Regni
:
If
it
had
concerned
the
King
or
Prince
there
could
not
have
been
greater
,
or
better
Commissioners
.
The
term
hath
been
almost
turned
into
a
Iustium
,
or
Vacancy
;
the
people
being
more
willing
to
be
lookers
on
in
this
business
,
than
proceeders
in
their
own
.
There
hath
been
no
care
of
discovery
omitted
,
no
moment
of
time
lost
;
and
therefore
I
will
conclude
,
with
the
saying
of
Solomon
,
this
part
of
my
Speech
,
Gloria
Deicelare
rem
,
and
gloria
Regis
scrutari
rem
,
It
is
the
glory
of
God
to
conceal
a
thing
,
and
it
is
the
glory
of
the
King
to
find
it
out
.
And
his
Majesties
honor
is
the
greater
;
for
that
he
shewed
to
the
World
this
business
,
as
it
hath
relation
to
my
Lord
of
Somerset
(
whose
Case
in
no
sort
I
do
fore-judg
,
being
ignorant
of
the
secrets
of
the
cause
,
but
take
him
as
the
Law
takes
him
,
hitherto
for
a
suspect
)
I
say
the
King
hath
to
his
great
honor
shewed
,
That
were
any
man
in
such
a
case
of
blood
,
as
the
Signet
of
his
right-hand
(
as
the
Scripture
saith
)
he
would
put
him
off
.
Now
will
I
come
to
the
particular
Charge
of
these
Gentlemen
And
first
I
will
by
way
of
Narrative
relate
the
Fact
,
with
the
occasion
of
it
.
This
wretched
man
Weston
,
who
was
the
Actor
,
or
Mechanical
party
in
this
Impoysonment
,
the
first
day
being
indicted
by
a
very
substantial
Iury
of
selected
Citizens
,
to
the
number
of
nineteen
,
who
found
Billa
vera
,
yet
nevertheless
at
the
first
stood
mute
.
But
after
some
days
intermission
,
it
pleased
God
to
cast
out
the
Dumb
Devil
,
and
he
put
himself
upon
his
Trial
,
and
was
by
a
Iury
of
great
value
,
upon
his
own
Confessions
,
and
other
testimonies
,
found
guilty
:
So
as
thirty
and
one
sufficient
Iurors
have
past
upon
him
,
and
he
had
also
his
Judgment
and
Execution
awarded
.
After
this
,
being
in
preparation
for
another
World
,
he
sent
for
Sir
Thomas
Overbury's
Father
,
and
falling
down
upon
his
knees
,
with
great
remorse
and
compunction
asked
him
forgiveness
;
and
afterwards
again
of
his
own
motion
,
desired
to
have
his
like
prayer
of
forgiveness
recommended
to
his
Mother
,
who
was
absent
.
And
at
both
times
out
of
the
abundance
of
his
heart
confessed
that
he
was
to
die
justly
,
and
that
he
was
worthy
of
death
.
And
after
again
at
his
Execution
(
which
is
a
kind
of
sealing
time
of
Confessions
)
even
at
the
point
of
death
(
though
there
were
Tempers
about
him
he
did
again
confirm
publickly
,
that
his
Examinations
were
true
,
and
that
he
had
been
justly
and
honourably
dealt
with
.
So
here
is
a
period
of
this
man
,
which
was
the
subject
of
this
calumny
or
affront
of
Iustice
.
Wherein
Mr.
Lumsden
plays
his
part
first
,
who
in
the
time
between
Westons
standing
mute
and
his
Tryal
,
frames
a
most
odious
and
libellous
Relation
,
containing
as
many
untruths
as
lines
,
sets
it
down
in
writing
with
his
own
hand
,
and
delivers
it
to
one
of
the
Bedchamber
to
be
put
into
the
Kings
hands
,
falsifying
all
that
was
done
the
first
day
of
Westons
Arraignment
,
turning
the
pike
and
point
of
his
imputations
upon
the
Lord
Chief
Justice
of
England
,
whose
name
thus
occurring
,
I
cannot
pass
by
,
and
yet
I
cannot
skill
of
this
same
Flattery
,
or
vulgar
Attribute
;
but
this
I
will
say
of
him
,
and
I
would
say
as
much
to
Ages
,
That
never
mans
person
and
his
place
were
better
met
in
a
business
,
than
my
Lord
Cook
,
and
my
Lord
Chief
Iustice
,
in
the
Cause
of
Overbury
.
Now
for
the
person
of
Master
Lumsden
,
I
know
he
is
a
Scotch
Gentleman
,
and
thereby
more
ignorant
of
our
Laws
:
but
I
cannot
tell
whether
this
doth
extenuate
his
fault
,
or
increase
it
;
for
as
it
may
extenuate
it
in
respect
of
ignorance
,
so
it
doth
aggravate
it
much
in
respect
of
presumption
,
to
meddle
in
that
he
understood
not
,
unless
some
other
mans
cunning
wrought
upon
this
mans
boldness
.
The
infusion
of
a
slander
into
a
Kings
ear
,
is
of
all
forms
of
Libels
,
and
Slanders
,
the
worst
.
It
is
true
,
that
Kings
may
keep
secret
their
information
,
and
then
no
man
can
enquire
after
them
,
while
they
are
shrined
in
their
Breast
:
but
where
a
King
is
pleased
that
a
man
shall
answer
for
his
false
information
,
divers
precedents
of
slanderous
Petitions
have
been
as
severly
punished
,
as
slanderous
Libels
.
For
the
Offence
of
Sir
Iohn
Wentworth
,
and
Sir
Iohn
Hollis
,
which
was
,
to
scandalize
the
Iustice
already
past
,
or
to
cut
off
the
thread
of
something
that
is
to
come
,
these
two
Gentlemen
came
mounted
on
Horseback
,
and
in
a
ruffling
and
facing
manner
,
presumed
to
Examin
Weston
,
whether
he
did
poyson
Overbury
,
or
no
;
directly
cross
to
that
which
had
been
tried
,
and
judged
.
For
what
was
the
Point
tried
?
That
Weston
had
poysoned
Overbury
:
And
Sir
Iohn
Wentworth's
question
was
,
whether
he
did
poyson
him
?
A
direct
Contradictory
.
Whereupon
Weston
answered
,
that
he
did
him
wrong
;
and
turning
to
the
Sheriff
,
said
,
You
promised
me
I
should
not
be
troubled
at
this
time
;
and
yet
nevertheless
Wentworth
prest
him
to
answer
,
that
he
might
pray
with
him
.
l
know
not
that
Sir
Iohn
Wentworth
is
an
Ecclesiastick
,
that
he
should
cut
any
man
from
communion
of
Prayer
;
and
for
all
this
vexing
of
the
spirit
of
a
poor
man
,
now
in
the
gate
of
death
,
Weston
stood
constant
,
and
said
,
I
die
not
unworthily
,
my
Lord
Chief
Iustice
hath
my
mind
under
his
hand
,
and
he
is
an
honourable
and
just
Iudg.
Sir
Iohn
Hollis
was
not
so
much
a
Questionist
,
but
wrought
upon
the
other
Questions
,
and
like
a
Counsellor
,
wisht
him
to
discharge
his
Conscience
,
and
to
satisfie
the
World
:
What
World
I
marvel
!
It
was
the
World
at
Tyburn
:
For
the
World
at
Guildhall
,
and
the
World
at
London
,
were
satisfied
before
;
Teste
the
Bels
that
rang
every
where
.
But
men
have
got
a
fashion
now
a-days
,
that
two
or
three
busie
bodies
will
take
upon
them
the
name
of
the
World
,
and
broach
their
own
conceit
,
as
if
it
were
a
general
opinion
.
Well
,
what
more
?
When
they
could
not
work
upon
Weston
,
Sir
Iohn
Hollis
in
an
indignation
,
turned
about
his
horse
,
as
the
other
was
turning
to
his
death
,
and
said
he
was
sorry
of
such
a
Conclusion
.
That
was
to
have
the
State
honoured
or
justified
.
Sir
Iohn
Hollis
offence
hath
another
Appendix
,
before
this
in
time
,
which
was
at
the
day
of
the
Tryal
.
He
presumed
to
give
his
Verdict
openly
,
That
if
he
were
of
the
Iury
he
would
not
doubt
what
to
do
.
Marry
he
saith
he
cannot
well
tell
whether
he
spoke
this
before
the
Iury
had
given
up
their
Verdict
or
after
.
Wherein
there
is
little
gained
;
for
whether
he
were
a
Praejuror
,
or
a
Postjuror
,
the
one
was
to
prejudice
the
Iury
,
the
other
was
to
attaint
them
.
The
offence
of
these
Gentlemen
is
greater
and
more
dangerous
than
is
conceived
.
We
have
no
Spanish
Inquisition
,
no
Iustice
in
a
corner
,
no
gagging
of
mens
mouths
at
their
death
,
but
they
may
speak
freely
to
the
last
;
but
then
it
must
come
from
the
free
motion
of
the
party
,
not
by
tempting
of
Questions
.
The
Questions
that
are
asked
ought
to
tend
to
further
revealing
of
their
own
,
or
others
guiltiness
:
But
to
use
a
Question
in
the
nature
of
a
cross
interrogatory
,
to
falsifie
that
which
is
Res
judicata
,
is
intolerable
.
That
were
to
erect
a
Court
,
or
Commission
of
review
at
Tyburn
,
against
the
Court
of
Westminster
:
For
if
the
Answer
be
according
to
the
Judgment
past
,
it
adds
credit
to
Iustice
;
if
it
be
contrary
,
it
derogateth
nothing
,
yet
it
subjecteth
the
Majesty
of
Iustice
to
a
popular
vulgar
talk
and
opinion
.
My
Lords
,
these
are
great
and
dangerous
offences
;
for
if
we
do
not
maintain
Iustice
,
Iustice
will
not
maintain
us
.
Then
the
Examinations
being
read
,
and
further
aggravated
against
these
three
Gentlemen
,
there
passed
Judgment
upon
them
of
Fine
and
lmprisonment
.
Sir
Thomas
Monson
,
Sir
Thomas
Monson
arraigned
.
another
of
the
Countesses
Agents
in
this
poysoning
contrivance
,
had
past
one
days
Tryal
at
Guildhall
.
But
the
Lord
Chief
Justice
Cook
in
his
Rhetorical
Flourishes
at
his
Arraignment
,
vented
some
expressions
(
which
he
either
deduced
from
Northamptons
assuring
the
Lieutenant
of
the
Tower
,
that
the
making
away
of
Sir
Thomas
Overbury
would
be
acceptable
to
the
King
,
or
from
some
other
secret
hint
received
)
as
if
he
could
discover
more
than
the
death
of
a
private
person
,
intimating
,
though
not
plainly
,
that
Overburies
untimely
remove
had
something
in
it
of
retaliation
,
as
if
he
had
been
guilty
of
the
same
Crime
against
Prince
Henry
,
blessing
himself
with
admiration
at
the
horror
of
such
actions
.
In
which
he
flew
so
high
a
pitch
,
that
he
was
taken
down
by
a
Court
Lure
,
Sir
Thomas
Monsons
Tryal
laid
aside
,
and
he
soon
after
set
at
liberty
,
and
the
Lord
Chief
Justices
wings
were
clipt
for
it
ever
after
.
And
it
was
rumor'd
,
that
the
King
(
heightned
to
so
much
passion
by
this
eruption
of
Sir
Edward
Cooks
)
went
to
the
Council
Table
,
and
kneeling
down
there
,
desired
God
to
lay
a
Curse
upon
him
and
his
posterity
for
ever
,
if
he
were
consenting
to
Overburies
death
.
But
this
cannot
be
asserted
,
being
above
our
Sphere
:
yet
as
Mathematicians
do
propose
to
themselves
imaginary
Circles
,
for
the
several
motions
in
the
Heavens
,
and
though
there
be
none
discovered
,
yet
they
find
the
effects
of
what
they
apprehend
:
So
the
sudden
stopping
of
Monsons
Tryal
,
put
strange
imaginations
into
mens
heads
,
and
those
seconded
by
Reports
too
high
for
private
discovery
,
The
Lord
Chief
Justice
blamed
.
their
operation
only
falling
under
the
common
notion
.
But
the
Lord
Chief
Justice
was
blamed
for
flying
out
of
his
way
;
that
having
enough
to
prosecute
the
business
,
he
would
grasp
after
more
till
he
lost
all
:
For
this
Crime
was
thought
second
to
none
but
the
Gunpowder-plot
;
that
would
have
blown
up
all
indeed
at
a
blow
(
a
merciful
cruelty
)
this
would
have
done
the
same
by
degrees
,
a
lingring
,
but
as
sure
a
way
;
one
by
one
might
have
been
culled
out
,
till
all
opposers
had
been
removed
:
Besides
,
the
other
Plot
was
scandalous
to
Rome
,
making
Popery
odious
,
this
was
scandalous
to
the
Gospel
ever
since
the
first
Nullity
.
The
Devil
could
not
have
invented
a
more
mischievous
practice
to
Church
and
State
.

And
now
the
Temples

being
shut

Warlike
Abilliaments
grew
rusty

Bellona
put

Peace

Ireland
found
the

hers
growing
up
to

Those
Irish
that
had
great
Estates

rude
enough

the

suppled
and
tamed
with
Honours
,
and
they
that

content
calmly
to
suck
in
what
they
had
,

battel'd
by
it
,
so
that
they
wanted
nothing
but
moderation
to
make
them
happy
.
These
Halcion

shined
round
about
us
.
The

almost

was
contented
to
be
bounded

Atlantick
Ocean
,
sucking
in
the
fruits
of
Italy
and
Sicily
,
and
hoarding
up
the
Treasures
of
the
Indies
,
willingly
singing
a
Requiem
to
the

France
wanting
Exercise
surfeited
with

at

by

broke
out

more
frequented
than
those
Theaters
of
Honor
,
where
Industry
brawns
and
hardens
the
Arms
:
Peace
is
a
great
Blessing
,
if
it
bring
not
a
Curse
with
it
;
but
War
is
more
happy
in
its
effects
than
it
,
especially
if
it
takes
away
the
distemper
that
grows
by
long
surfets
,
without
destroying
the
Body
.
But
since
these
buskind
ornaments
are
wanting
,
we
must
imbellish
our
Discourses
with
such
passages
as
paced
up
and
down
in
the
sock
of
Peace
.
There
had
been
in
Prince
Henries
time
a
Treaty
of
Marriage
betwixt
him
and
a
Daughter
of
Spain
,
The
King
think
of
a
match
for
his
Son
Prince
Charles
.
which
took
no
effect
.
Our
King
was
real
in
his
intentions
,
not
willing
to
have
his
Sons
Beams
to
display
themselves
but
in
a
Royal
Horizon
.
The
Spanish
policy
clouded
the
business
with
delays
,
whether
from
the
old
grudg
that
was
betwixt
Queen
Katharine
and
Henry
the
eighth
,
or
the
difference
between
the
Nations
in
Religion
?
But
the
Spanish
Courtesie
being
loth
directly
and
point
blank
to
tell
our
King
,
he
liked
not
the
Conjunction
,
went
with
a
slow-paced
Gravity
,
such
as
he
thought
befitted
the
Civility
of
Princes
,
and
gave
a
little
light
to
hope
that
it
might
be
accomplished
.
But
Salisbury
and
others
that
managed
those
great
affairs
then
,
did
at
this
chink
discover
,
that
their
formalities
were
but
Spanish
Complements
,
which
like
the
air
that
gave
them
being
,
soon
vanished
away
.
After
this
our
Kings
thoughts
cast
about
,
how
he
might
provide
a
fit
match
for
Prince
Charles
,
who
shined
in
the
same
sphere
of
Honor
(
that
his
Brother
left
for
a
better
)
but
not
so
much
inlightned
with
the
peoples
love
,
being
less
active
and
splendid
,
and
(
that
I
may
not
call
it
sullenness
)
more
reserved
.
The
German
Dames
were
discoursed
on
(
where
his
Sister
shined
in
her
Glory
)
as
being
of
the
same
Religion
,
and
more
suitable
in
Christian
Policy
;
but
they
were
(
in
a
manner
)
Subjects
to
the
Emperor
,
and
that
would
give
an
allay
to
the
Super-elementary
extraction
of
Kings
,
which
should
be
of
a
higher
Origine
,
to
amuse
,
and
that
they
might
be
the
more
admired
by
their
people
,
and
therefore
not
so
fitting
in
State-Policy
.
And
seeing
there
were
small
hopes
expected
from
Spain
,
a
Daughter
to
Henry
the
great
,
late
King
of
France
,
was
aimed
at
,
and
Sir
Thomas
Edmonds
,
our
Kings
Lieger
Ambassador
,
had
(
long
before
this
time
)
made
his
little
addresses
,
superficially
,
and
founded
the
Chanel
,
but
he
met
some
Rocks
and
Remoras
in
the
way
,
so
that
he
could
not
discover
clearly
their
intentions
;
and
the
King
was
loth
to
express
himself
plainly
,
lest
he
should
receive
an
affront
.
And
now
sending
(
as
he
thought
it
civilly
necessary
)
an
Extraordinary
Ambassador
to
congratulate
the
King
of
France
his
Marriage
with
Anna
the
Infanta
of
Spain
,
he
thought
it
good
policy
to
take
this
occasion
to
make
a
stricter
scrutiny
whether
there
were
any
ground
to
rest
upon
for
matching
his
Son
.
The
Lord
Hays
sent
into
France
.
And
who
is
fitter
for
that
employment
,
being
only
for
Courtship
and
Bravery
,
than
the
Lord
Hayes
,
a
Gentleman
whose
Composition
of
mind
tended
that
way
?
He
was
born
in
Scotland
,
where
bravery
was
in
no
superfluity
,
bred
up
in
France
,
where
he
could
not
have
it
in
extravagancy
,
but
he
found
it
in
England
,
and
made
it
his
vanity
.
The
King
had
a
large
hand
,
and
he
had
a
large
heart
,
and
though
he
were
no
great
Favourite
ever
,
yet
he
was
never
but
in
favour
.
He
with
a
great
Train
of
young
Noblemen
,
and
other
Courtiers
of
eminency
,
suited
themselves
with
all
those
ornaments
that
could
give
lustre
to
so
dazelling
an
appearance
as
Love
,
and
the
Congratulation
of
it
carried
with
it
.
All
the
study
was
,
who
should
be
most
glorious
,
and
he
had
the
happiest
fancy
,
whose
invention
could
express
something
Novel
,
neat
and
unusual
,
that
others
might
admire
.
So
that
Huntingtons
Prophecy
was
fulfilled
here
,
6
lib.
H.
Hunt
.
when
speaking
of
the
time
of
the
Scots
Conquest
of
England
,
he
said
,
Multimoda
variatione
vestium
&
indumentorum
designaretur
.
I
remember
I
saw
one
of
the
Lord
Ambassadors
Suits
(
and
pardon
me
that
I
take
notice
of
such
petty
things
)
the
Cloak
and
Hose
were
made
of
very
fine
white
Beaver
,
imbroidered
richly
all
over
with
Gold
and
Silver
;
the
Cloak
,
almost
to
the
Cape
,
within
and
without
,
having
no
lining
but
imbroidery
,
The
Doublet
was
Cloth
of
Gold
,
The
Lord
Hayes
rides
in
state
to
the
Court.
imbroidered
so
thick
,
that
it
could
not
be
discerned
,
and
a
white
Beaver-hat
suitable
,
Brim-full
of
imbroidery
,
both
above
and
below
.
This
is
presented
as
an
Essay
,
for
one
of
the
meanest
he
wore
,
so
that
if
this
Relation
should
last
longer
than
his
old
cloaths
,
the
Reader
might
well
think
it
a
Romance
,
favouring
rather
of
Fancy
than
Reality
.
But
this
kind
of
Vanity
had
been
long
active
in
England
:
For
the
last
Parliament
it
was
moved
by
some
well-affected
to
Reformation
of
the
Abuses
of
excess
in
Apparel
,
that
there
might
be
a
Regulation
of
this
kind
of
Gallantry
,
to
the
distinguishing
of
men
one
from
another
;
For
(
it
was
said
)
some
of
means
Fortunes
wore
Garments
fitter
for
Princes
than
Subjects
;
and
many
Gentry
of
antient
descent
had
wasted
,
and
impoverished
themselves
and
their
Posterities
with
this
extravagancy
,
so
that
it
was
very
requisite
to
give
some
stop
to
this
redundant
humor
.
To
which
was
answered
,
That
if
those
of
mean
Fortunes
went
so
richly
attired
,
and
came
not
honestly
by
their
ornaments
,
they
would
be
quickly
found
out
,
and
there
were
good
Laws
enough
for
such
Transgressors
.
But
as
there
is
no
perpetuity
of
Being
on
Earth
,
so
there
is
a
continual
vicissitude
and
revolution
in
all
sublunary
things
,
some
are
advanced
,
and
some
decline
,
God
pulleth
down
one
,
and
setteth
up
another
.
If
any
Noble
,
or
antiently
descended
Family
will
be
so
mad
and
foolish
to
beggar
themselves
and
their
Posterities
with
this
,
or
any
other
excess
,
't
is
very
probable
that
some
man
of
more
wisdom
and
merit
will
injoy
that
which
the
other
hath
so
idlely
and
prodigally
mispent
;
for
to
set
such
limitations
will
damp
the
spirits
of
Industry
.
So
the
motion
was
declined
.
But
to
return
to
the
Lord
Hayes
.
Thus
accoutred
and
accomplished
,
he
went
into
France
,
and
a
day
for
Audience
being
prefixed
,
all
the
argument
and
dispute
betwixt
him
and
his
gallant
Train
(
which
took
up
some
time
)
was
,
how
they
should
go
to
the
Court
,
Coaches
,
like
Curtains
,
would
eclipse
their
splendor
;
riding
on
horsback
in
Boots
,
would
make
them
look
like
Travellers
,
not
Courtiers
;
and
not
having
all
Foot-cloaths
it
would
be
an
unsuitable
mixture
:
Those
that
brought
rich
trappings
for
their
Horses
,
were
willing
to
have
them
seen
,
so
it
was
concluded
for
the
Foot-cloth
,
and
those
that
have
none
(
to
their
bitter
cost
)
must
furnish
themselves
.
This
preparation
begot
expectation
,
and
that
filled
all
the
Windows
,
Balcones
,
and
Streets
of
Paris
as
they
passed
with
a
multitude
of
Spectators
,
Six
Trumpeters
,
and
two
Marshals
(
in
Tawny
Velvet
Liveries
,
compleatly
Suited
,
laced
all
over
with
Gold
,
richly
,
and
closely
laid
)
led
the
way
;
the
Ambassador
followed
with
a
great
Train
of
Pages
and
Footmen
in
the
same
rich
Livery
,
incircling
his
Horse
,
and
the
rest
of
his
Retinue
according
to
their
Qualities
and
Degrees
,
in
as
much
bravery
as
they
could
devise
,
or
procure
,
followed
in
couples
,
to
the
wonderment
of
the
beholders
.
And
some
said
(
how
truly
I
cannot
assert
)
the
Ambassadors
Horse
was
shod
with
Silver-shooes
,
lightly
tackt
on
;
and
when
he
came
to
a
place
where
Persons
,
or
Beauties
of
eminency
were
,
his
very
Horse
prancing
,
and
curveting
,
in
humble
reverence
flung
his
shooes
away
,
which
the
greedy
understanders
scrambled
for
,
and
he
was
content
to
be
gazed
on
,
and
admired
,
till
a
Farrier
,
or
rather
the
Argentier
in
one
of
his
rich
Liveries
,
among
his
train
of
Footmen
,
out
of
a
Tawny
Velvet
bag
took
others
,
and
tackt
them
on
,
which
lasted
till
he
came
to
the
next
troop
of
Grandies
:
And
thus
with
much
ado
he
reached
the
Louure
.
All
Complements
and
outward
Ceremonies
of
State
being
performed
,
the
Lord
Ambassador
made
his
business
known
by
more
private
addresses
,
which
in
appearance
was
well
resented
,
but
indeed
not
intended
,
and
came
to
no
effect
:
For
the
Duke
of
Savoy
had
anticipated
the
young
Ladies
affection
for
the
Prince
of
P●emont
his
Son
.
The
Savoyan
Agents
bringing
more
Gold
in
their
hands
than
on
their
backs
,
had
so
smoothed
the
way
,
that
not
only
those
about
the
Princess
,
but
the
great
ones
themselves
were
made
workers
for
him
.
After
the
Ambassador
had
been
feasted
magnificently
,
with
all
his
gallant
Train
,
in
several
places
,
to
shew
the
Grandure
of
France
,
he
came
over
into
England
,
and
practised
it
here
,
making
many
times
upon
several
occasions
such
stupendious
Feasts
,
and
heaped
Banquets
,
as
if
all
the
Creatures
had
contributed
to
his
excess
.
I
know
not
what
limits
or
bounds
are
set
to
the
glories
of
Princes
Courts
,
or
Nobles
minds
.
We
see
the
Sea
it self
,
and
all
his
tributary
Rivers
,
do
ebb
and
flow
,
but
if
they
swell
so
high
,
to
overflow
that
Bank
,
that
Reason
hath
prescribed
to
keep
them
in
,
what
Inundations
of
sad
mischief
follow
,
Experience
shews

Therefore
to
humble
him
more
,
The
Chief
Justice
is
humbled
.
he
is
brought
on
his
knees
at
the
Council
Table
,
and
three
other
Ingredients
added
to
the
Dose
,
of
a
more
active
operation
.
First
,
He
is
charged
,
That
when
he
was
the
Kings
Attorney
,
in
the
beginning
of
his
Reign
,
he
concealed
a
Statute
of
twelve
thousand
pounds
,
due
to
the
King
from
the
late
Lord
Chancellor
Hatton
,
wherein
he
deceived
the
trust
reposed
in
him
.
Secondly
,
That
he
uttered
words
of
very
high
contempt
as
he
sate
in
the
seat
of
Iustice
,
saying
the
Common
Law
of
England
would
be
overthrown
,
and
the
light
of
it
obscured
,
reflecting
upon
the
King
.
And
thirdly
,
His
uncivil
and
indiscreet
carriage
before
His
Majesty
(
being
assisted
by
his
Privy
Council
and
Judges
)
in
the
Case
of
Commendams
.
The
last
he
contest
,
and
humbly
craved
his
Majesties
Pardon
.
The
other
two
he
palliated
with
some
colourable
excuses
,
which
were
not
so
well
set
off
,
but
they
left
such
a
tincture
behind
that
he
was
commanded
to
a
private
life
.
And
to
expiate
the
Kings
anger
,
he
was
injoyned
in
that
leisurely
retirement
to
review
his
Books
of
Reports
,
which
the
King
was
informed
had
many
extravagant
opinions
,
published
for
positive
and
good
Law
,
which
must
be
corrected
,
and
brought
to
his
Majesty
to
be
perused
.
But
the
Title
of
the
Books
wherein
he
stiles
himself
Lord
Chief
Iustice
of
England
,
was
to
be
expunged
,
being
but
Lord
Chief
Iustice
of
the
Kings
Bench.
And
at
his
departure
from
the
Council
Table
(
where
he
humbly
acknowledged
his
Majesties
mercy
,
and
their
Lordships
justice
)
the
Lord
Treasurer
gave
him
a
wipe
,
for
suffering
his
Coachman
to
ride
bare
before
him
in
the
streets
;
which
fault
he
strove
to
cover
,
by
telling
his
Lordship
,
his
Coachman
did
it
for
his
own
ease
.
But
not
long
after
the
Lord
Treasurer
came
under
his
lash
in
the
Star-Chamber
,
and
he
requited
him
for
it
.

Truly
he
was
a
Man
of
excellent
parts
,
And
short
Character
.
but
not
without
his
frailties
:
for
as
he
was
a
Storehouse
and
Magazine
of
the
Common
Law
,
for
the
present
times
;
and
laid
such
Foundation
for
the
future
,
that
Posterity
may
for
ever
build
on
;
So
his
passions
and
pride
so
were
predominant
,
that
boyling
over
,
he
lost
(
by
them
)
much
of
his
own
fulness
,
which
extinguished
not
only
the
valuation
,
but
respect
to
his
merit
:
So
often
is
that
heat
,
that
gives
life
to
noble
Parts
,
by
a
circular
motion
,
the
ruin
of
them
!
Yet
to
cool
his
distemper
,
and
to
bring
him
to
himself
,
he
is
within
a
short
time
called
to
the
Council
Table
,
the
King
being
loth
to
lose
his
abilities
.

this
time
,
The

weary
of

retire
,
that
he
might
make
use
of
the
short
time
left
him
,
to
cast
up
his
accounts
for
another
World
:
The
King
gave
the
Seal
,

the
place
of
Lord
Chancellor
,
to
Sir
Francis
Bacon
,
his
Attorney
Ceneral
;
and
the
old
Lord
Ellesmer
wore
out
the
remnant
of
his
life
in
quiet
,
dying
in
a
good
old
age
.
and
full
of
virtuous
fame
,
leaving

,
who
enjoy
a
great

with
the
Title
of

of

:
the

matching
them
together
,
like

,
to

betwixt
them
.
But
the

the
Star-Chamber
;
whither
the
business
being
brought
,
the
sore
was
open'd
,
and
all
the
bad
humours
flow
to
the
ill-affected
part
.
Bribery
and
Extortion
is
the
matter
that
appears
,
which
is
squeez'd
out
,
and
aggravated
by
Sir
Edward
Cook
,
(
newly
perkt
up
,
such
is
the
Worlds
bucket
!
)
who
very
learnedly
cited
many
Precedents
of
Treasurers
in
former
Kings
Reigns
,
that
miscarried
,
and
their
several
punishments
.
He
begins
with
Randulphus
de
Britton
,
Treasurer
to
King
Henry
the
third
,
who
had
mis-imployed
the
Kings
Treasure
,
deceived
the
King
in
his
Office
,
for
which
he
was
questioned
,
his
Lands
and
Goods
seized
into
the
Kings
hands
,
and
sent
prisoner
to
the
Tower
,
where
he
submitted
himself
to
the
King
,
confest
his
fault
,
gave
up
his
place
,
&
pro
Gratia
habenda
(
saith
the
Record
)
obtained
Restitution
of
his
Goods
and
Lands
,
paying
only
three
thousand
pounds
Fine
.
This
was
a
piece
of
Wisdom
(
saith
he
)
as
well
as
Humility
;
alluding
to
the
present
Lord
Treasurers
stout
heart
that
would
not
submit
.
The
second
was
Petrus
de
Rivallis
,
who
was
Treasurer
of
Ireland
,
and
Chamberlain
of
England
in
Edward
the
firsts
time
,
who
had
taken
Bribes
in
his
Office
,
Tam
de
Religiosis
,
quam
de
Laicis
.
Of
which
being
convicted
,
he
lost
his
place
,
and
was
put
to
his
Fine
and
Ransom
.
And
in
the
same
Kings
Reign
,
The
Abbot
of
Westminster
,
and
his
virtuous
Monks
,
took
out
of
the
Kings
Treasure
at
Westminster
many
thousand
pounds
,
Ad
inastimabile
damnum
Regis
&
Regni
.
The
Abbot
being
sent
to
the
Tower
,
and
the
Monks
disposed
to
several
prisons
,
and
notwithstanding
they
pleaded
Priviledg
of
Clergy-men
for
their
Tryal
,
yet
in
the
Case
of
imbezelling
the
Kings
Treasure
,
they
had
no
Priviledg
,
but
the
Temporalities
of
the
Abby
were
seized
for
satisfaction
.

In
King
Edward
the
seconds
time
,
Walter
de
Langton
,
a
Bishop
,
was
Treasurer
to
the
King
;
He
did
take
of
the
Earl
of
Montealto
to
be
a
friend
to
him
(
in
agendis
negotiis
versus
dominum
Regem
)
a
hundred
pounds
(
the
said
Earl
being
a
prisoner
)
to
let
him
go
free
to
do
his
business
.
And
this
was
given
,
as
the
Record
speaks
,
De
spontanea
voluntate
,
for
a
Gratuity
,
&
ex
curialitate
sua
,
for
his
courtesie
,
yet
this
was
adjudged
Extortion
and
Bribery
.
Again
,
Iohn
de
Engam
was
indicted
of
Trespass
by
this
Bishop
for
the
Mannor
of
Fisbie
,
whereunto
the
King
pretended
Title
,
and
was
by
the
Bishop
imprisoned
for
the
Trespass
.
But
afterwards
another
Mannor
was
conveyed
to
this
Bishop
,
ob
diversas
curialitates
,
for
courtesies
that
he
had
done
,
and
so
Engam
was
discharged
of
his
Indictment
,
and
though
that
the
Bishop
pleaded
,
that
Voluntas
Regis
potius
ad
imprisonamentam
quam
ad
sinem
,
because
it
was
the
Kings
pleasure
rather
to
punish
by
Imprisonment
than
Fine
,
yet
this
was
adjudged
Bribery
.
Again
,
the
Bayliff
of
Oxford
was
committed
for
Arrerages
of
a
hundred
pounds
in
his
Account
,
and
thereupon
the
Mannor
of
Calcot
was
conveyed
unto
the
Bishop
,
and
the
Bishop
of
his
pure
devotion
did
discharge
him
of
that
Imprisonment
.
But
these
were
Pleas
and
Flourishes
of
guilty
men
,
as
the
Record
saith
,
but
they
were
all
three
judged
Extortion
and
Bribery
;
and
for
these
the
Bishop
was
put
from
his
place
,
fined
,
and
committed
to
the
Tower
.
William
Lord
Latimer
,
in
Edward
the
thirds
time
,
being
appointed
to
pay
the
Kings
debts
,
did
buy
in
some
of
them
at
lower
rates
than
was
due
,
as
eighty
pounds
for
a
hundred
,
and
thirty
pounds
for
forty
;
By
which
course
he
made
the
King
a
Bankrupt
Compounder
,
and
for
this
he
was
fined
,
and
lost
all
his
Offices
.
In
like
case
was
the
Lord
Nevil
,
who
was
trusted
to
pay
the
Army
,
but
he
bought
the
debt
of
them
,
and
justified
,
that
they
gave
him
the
remainder
of
their
free
gift
,
but
for
this
he
was
fined
,
and
committed
to
the
Tower
.
These
,
and
many
other
precedents
and
examples
,
armed
with
Authority
and
Antiquity
,
were
mustered
up
,
and
the
Lord
Treasurers
miscarriages
exasperated
,
especially
for
embezelling
those
Moneys
the
King
lately
received
of
the
State
of
the
Netherlands
for
the
redemption
of
the
cautionary
Towns
,
Flushing
,
and
Brill
,
which
the
King
was
forced
to
relinquish
again
to
the
States
,
because
he
had
no
money
to
pay
the
Soldiers
there
;
and
that
money
being
designed
for
the
lrish
Army
(
which
was
also
in
great
Want
)
it
was
thought
the
more
heinous
,
and
a
double
miscarriage
,
being
it
was
so
dearly
bought
,
and
so
unduly
spent
.
But
the
Earl
himself
being
a
man
of
a
noble
disposition
(
though
too
indulgent
to
his
too
active
Wife
)
had
retained
the
Kings
favour
,
if
he
had
taken
Sir
Edward
Cooks
counsel
,
and
submitted
and
not
strove
to
justifie
his
own
integrity
,
which
he
maintained
with
a
great
deal
of
confidence
,
till
it
was
too
late
,
for
then
his
submission
did
him
little
good
.
But
his
Wives
faults
being
imputed
to
him
,
he
was
fined
thirty
thousand
pounds
,
and
imprisonment
in
the
Tower
;
Sir
Iohn
Bingly
fined
two
thousand
pounds
,
and
imprisonment
in
the
Fleet
:
For
it
was
thought
the
Lord
and
Lady
could
not
have
found
the
way
into
these
obscure
,
low
,
and
dark
contrivances
,
without
the
light
of
his
help
.
Which
Sentence
was
pronounced
by
the
Lord
Chancellor
Bacon
,
who
though
he
were
of
transcendent
parts
,
yet
was
he
tainted
with
the
same
infection
,
and
not
many
years
after
perished
in
his
own
corruption
;
which
shews
,
That
neither
Example
nor
Precept
(
he
having
seen
so
many
,
and
been
made
capable
of
so
much
)
can
be
a
Pilot
sufficient
to
any
Port
of
Happiness
(
though
Reason
be
never
so
able
to
direct
)
if
Grace
doth
not
give
the
gate
.
But
the
King
,
The
King
comes
to
the
Star-Chamber
.
more
to
exalt
Iustice
,
and
to
shew
the
people
,
his
high
abilities
,
came
in
Iune
this
year
to
the
Star-Chamber
,
where
in
a
long
,
and
well-weighed
Discourse
,
he
turns
over
the
volume
of
his
mind
,
that
the
World
might
read
his
excellent
parts
in
lively
characters
.
He
told
the
Lords
he
came
thither
in
imitation
of
Henry
the
seventh
his
great
Predecessor
,
and
the
reason
he
came
no
sooner
was
,
that
he
resolved
with
Pythagoras
,
for
seven
years
to
keep
silence
,
and
learn
the
Laws
of
the
Kingdom
,
before
he
would
teach
others
,
and
the
other
seven
years
he
was
studying
to
find
an
occasion
to
come
,
that
might
not
be
with
prejudice
:
For
in
his
own
cause
he
could
not
come
;
in
a
great
cause
betwixt
man
and
man
,
it
might
be
thought
some
particular
favour
brought
him
thither
;
and
in
a
small
Cause
it
was
not
fit
for
him
to
come
;
but
now
he
had
so
much
to
say
in
relation
to
good
Government
,
that
he
could
no
longer
forbear
.
-
First
,
He
charges
himself
.
-
Secondly
,
The
judges
.
-
Thirdly
,
The
Auditory
in
general
.
In
his
own
Charge
he
lays
a
foundation
for
raising
a
most
excellent
structure
in
Government
,
wherein
he
was
a
Master-workman
,
and
had
a
most
admirable
Theory
,
and
full
abilities
to
put
it
in
practice
,
and
happily
the
bent
of
his
intentions
tended
that
way
,
though
it
had
for
the
most
part
a
loose
strong
.
And
to
that
which
concerned
the
Judges
,
he
not
only
reckons
up
their
Duties
in
their
publick
Relation
,
but
shews
them
the
Iurisdiction
and
power
of
their
several
Courts
,
how
far
every
one
did
extend
,
to
which
he
would
have
them
limited
,
that
they
might
not
clash
and
contest
one
against
another
,
to
shake
the
Basis
on
which
they
were
built
,
but
that
there
might
be
a
harmony
and
sweet
concordance
among
them
,
Expressing
himself
with
such
Elegance
and
Prudence
,
that
the
most
studious
Lawyer
(
whose
design
had
been
to
imbellish
a
Discourse
fitting
for
the
ears
of
his
Prince
)
could
not
have
gone
beyond
what
he
exprest
to
his
People
;
so
strong
and
retentive
was
his
judgment
,
and
memory
,
so
natural
,
and
genuine
that
which
came
from
them
,
that
it
did
emanare
,
flow
from
him
to
the
admiration
of
the
hearers
.
To
the
people
in
general
,
and
under-Officers
,
he
gave
an
admonition
to
submit
to
the
Law
,
and
Justice
of
the
Land
,
and
not
to
go
upon
new
Puritan
strains
(
such
was
his
expression
)
to
make
all
things
popular
,
but
to
keep
themselves
within
the
antient
limits
of
Obedience
:
For
he
feared
Innovation
as
a
Monster
got
loose
,
which
should
be
always
kept
in
such
a
Labyrinth
,
as
none
should
come
at
,
but
by
the
Clew
of
Reason
.
Then
he
commands
the
Judges
in
their
Circuits
to
take
notice
of
those
Justices
of
the
Peace
,
that
were
most
active
for
the
good
of
the
Country
,
that
they
might
have
incouragement
from
him
.
For
(
to
use
his
own
words
)
I
value
them
that
serve
me
faithfully
there
,
equally
with
those
that
attend
my
person
.
Therefore
let
none
be
ashamed
of
this
Office
,
or
be
discouraged
in
being
a
Justice
of
the
Peace
,
if
he
serve
worthily
in
it
.
The
Chancellor
under
me
makes
Justices
,
and
puts
them
out
;
but
neither
I
,
nor
he
,
can
tell
what
they
are
:
therefore
we
must
be
informed
by
you
,
Judges
,
who
can
only
tell
,
who
do
well
,
and
who
do
ill
,
without
which
how
can
the
good
be
cherished
,
and
the
rest
put
out
?
the
good
Justices
are
careful
to
attend
the
service
of
the
King
and
Country
;
the
bad
are
idle
slow-bellies
,
that
abide
always
at
home
,
given
to
a
life
of
ease
and
delight
,
liker
Ladies
than
Men
;
and
think
it
is
enough
to
contemplate
Justice
,
when
as
,
Virtusin
actione
consistet
;
contemplative
Justice
is
no
Justice
,
and
contemplative
Justices
are
fit
to
be
put
out
.
Another
sort
of
Justices
,
are
Busie-bodies
,
and
will
have
all
men
dance
after
their
Pipe
,
and
follow
their
Greatness
,
or
else
will
not
be
content
:
A
sort
of
men
,
Qui
se
primos
omnium
esse
putant
,
nec
sunt
tamen
:
These
proud
spirits
must
know
that
the
Country
is
ordained
to
follow
God
,
and
the
King
,
and
not
them
.
Another
sort
are
they
that
go
seldom
to
the
Kings
service
,
but
when
it
is
to
help
some
of
their
Kindred
or
Alliance
;
so
they
come
to
help
ther
Friends
,
or
hurt
their
Enemies
,
making
Jugice
serve
for
a
shadow
to
Faction
,
and
tumultuating
the
Country
.
Another
sort
are
Gentlemen
of
great
worth
in
their
own
conceit
,
and
cannot
be
content
with
the
present
form
of
Government
,
but
must
have
a
kind
of
liberty
in
the
people
,
and
must
be
gracious
Lords
,
and
Redeemers
of
their
Liberty
;
and
in
every
cause
that
concerns
Prerogative
give
a
snatch
against
Monarchy
,
through
their
Puritanical
itching
after
Popularity
,
some
of
them
have
shewed
themselves
too
bold
of
late
in
the
lower
House
of
Parliament
;
And
when
all
is
done
,
if
there
were
not
a
King
,
they
would
be
less
cared
for
than
other
men
.
So
wise
the
Kings
fears
made
him
,
and
so
wary
to
prevent
the
popular
violence
!
And
even
in
these
Infant-times
,
the
contention
doth
appear
,
which
afterward
got
more
strength
,
when
by
his
power
he
had
gained
in
every
County
such
as
he
made
subservient
to
his
will
:
For
as
the
King
strove
to
loosen
the
Piles
and
Banks
of
the
peoples
liberties
,
so
the
people
strove
to
bound
,
and
keep
off
the
Inundation
of
his
Prerogative
.
Then
he
takes
notice
of
the
swarms
of
Gentry
,
that
through
the
instigation
of
their
Wives
,
or
to
new
model
and
fashion
their
Daughters
(
who
if
they
were
unmarried
mar'd
their
Marriages
,
if
married
,
lost
their
Reputations
,
and
rob
their
husbands
purses
)
did
neglect
their
Country
Hospitality
,
and
cumber
the
City
,
a
general
Nuisance
to
the
Kingdom
,
being
as
the
spleen
to
the
Body
,
which
as
in
measure
it
over-grows
,
the
Body
wasts
;
and
seeing
a
Proclamation
will
not
keep
them
at
home
,
he
requires
that
the
power
of
the
Star-chamber
may
not
only
regulate
them
,
but
the
exorbitancy
of
the
new
buildings
about
the
City
(
which
he
still
much
repined
at
)
being
a
shelter
for
them
;
A.
Reg.
15.
An.
Christi
1617.
where
they
spent
their
Estates
in
Coaches
,
Lacquies
,
and
fine
Cloaths
,
like
French-men
;
living
miserably
in
their
houses
,
like
Italians
;
becoming
Apes
to
other
Nations
:
Whereas
it
was
the
honour
of
the
English
Nobility
and
Gentry
(
above
all
Countries
in
the
World
)
to
be
hospitable
among
their
Tenants
;
Which
they
may
the
better
do
,
by
the
fertility
and
abundance
of
all
things
.
Thus
the
King
pried
into
every
miscarriage
,
being
willing
to
reform
these
(
then
growing
)
abuses
.
Unstable
spirits
mutable
.
But
among
all
the
heights
of
Reason
that
the
spirit
of
man
doth
actuate
,
and
give
life
to
,
the
highest
and
most
transcendent
is
that
of
Religion
,
which
as
it
partakes
more
or
less
of
Faith
,
so
it
inclines
more
or
less
to
Fancy
:
Wavering
and
unstable
minds
are
not
only
blown
about
with
the
wind
of
every
opinion
,
but
pride
and
discontent
(
conjoyned
often
,
though
of
different
operations
)
are
engins
sufficient
to
shake
the
foundation
,
though
never
so
firmly
setled
.
Some
men
turn
over
the
leaf
of
Conscience
,
and
change
a
good
Religion
for
a
worse
;
some
the
leaf
of
Policy
,
leaving
an
evil
Religion
for
a
better
:
but
these
kind
of
spirits
will
not
be
brought
under
by
fasting
and
prayer
,
unless
it
be
by
him
that
can
discover
the
heart
of
hypocrisie
,
though
in
as
variable
a
capacity
as
the
countenance
.
The
Arch-Bishop
of
Spalato
comes
into
England
.
These
times
gave
examples
of
both
these
humours
,
some
that
went
from
us
to
Rome
,
and
some
that
came
from
Rome
to
us
.
Among
the
rest
,
one
of
eminency
,
Marcus
Antonius
de
Dominis
,
Arch-Bishop
of
Spalato
,
a
man
old
and
corpulent
,
unfit
for
Travel
,
being
almost
at
his
journies
end
by
Nature
,
came
into
England
with
as
little
Grace
.
Here
he
preaches
,
rails
,
and
writes
against
Rome
,
(
extolling
the
Protestant
Religion
)
till
he
came
to
be
Dean
of
Windsor
,
and
Master
of
the
Savoy
,
which
some
few
years
he
enjoyed
;
Then
,
whether
he
had
higher
hopes
homewards
,
or
the
humour
and
fancy
altering
,
like
a
wandring
Star
,
he
goes
Retrograde
,
placing
himself
again
in
the
Roman
Calendar
:
but
he
is
made
to
reckon
at
Rome
by
the
Gregorian
account
;
And
though
he
thought
himself
in
a
full
Conjunction
with
the
Stars
there
of
the
greatest
Magnitude
(
having
publickly
recanted
,
and
as
bitterly
reproached
the
Protestant
Doctrine
there
,
as
he
had
exalted
it
here
)
yet
the
Inquisition
had
so
strong
an
influence
upon
him
,
that
it
hindred
the
operation
of
it
,
for
he
died
in
Prison
,
Dies
at
Rome
.
and
they
buried
him
both
like
a
new
Heretick
,
and
an
old
Emperor
,
committing
his
Body
to
the
Flames
.
Such
honour
have
all
such
Saints
!
For
they
hold
it
as
a
Maxim
,
That
that
foundation
is
never
again
to
be
built
upon
,
that
was
once
of
a
tottering
temper

FRANCOIS
DE
BOVRBON
PRINCE
DE
CONTY
.
And
to
conclude
the
first
,
Lewis
the
13.
finding
his
Mothers
power
swell
so
high
,
as
to
threaten
a
deluge
of
Noble
Blood
,
for
the
preservation
of
a
Mechanick
Florentine
,
and
willing
to
be
rid
of
a
Governess
,
who
eclips'd
his
Glory
,
commanded
Monsieur
De
Vitry
,
Captain
of
his
Guard
,
to
seize
on
the
Marquess
at
his
first
access
to
Court
.
The
Marquess
(
being
then
in
his
Government
in
Normandy
,
placing
and
displacing
Officers
,
for
his
greater
security
)
hearing
there
were
new
Whisperers
admitted
to
the
King
,
came
to
the
Court
in
a
full
career
,
with
a
ruffling
Retinue
at
his
heels
,
thinking
to
remove
all
Obstacles
in
his
way
;
but
there
he
met
the
great
One
,
Death
,
waiting
for
him
,
that
his
policy
and
high-flying
thoughts
never
minded
:
For
he
had
no
sooner
entred
the
Gates
of
the
Louure
,
but
De
Vitry
arrested
him
;
and
seeing
him
step
back
upon
his
arrest
,
as
it
were
to
lay
hold
on
his
Sword
:
he
kill'd
him
instantly
with
a
Pistol
;
The
noise
whereof
put
the
whole
Court
into
an
uproar
.
The
King
approved
the
Fact
,
the
Queen
lamented
it
;
but
she
must
mourn
no
longer
in
the
Court
,
therefore
removed
thence
with
a
small
Train
,
to
practice
her
Italian
Artifices
,
as
she
afterwards
did
,
to
the
disturbance
of
most
parts
of
Christendom
The
poor
Marquess
rested
not
in
death
;
for
though
he
was
privately
buried
that
night
,
yet
the
rage
and
malice
of
the
People
lighted
them
to
his
Grave
the
next
day
,
and
tearing
him
thence
,
and
tying
his
naked
body
to
an
Asses
tail
,
drew
him
through
the
Streets
of
Paris
,
and
hanged
him
by
the
heels
upon
a
Gibbet
on
the
new
Bridg
;
where
they
cut
off
flakes
of
his
Body
,
to
send
as
Presents
to
their
Friends
.
And
when
they
had
satiated
themselves
thus
,
they
took
down
the
mangled
Carcass
,
and
made
another
Progress
through
the
City
,
till
wearied
with
their
Delight
,
they
strove
●o
burn
the
Body
,
to
be
rid
of
it
:
but
the
fire
being
not
so
active
as
their
malice
,
they
threw
the
tattered
bones
into
the
River
;
so
that
their
Rage
pulled
him
out
of
the
Earth
,
hung
him
in
the
Air
,
burnt
him
in
the
Fire
,
and
left
him
in
the
Water
.
And
(
as
they
thought
)
to
leave
no
memory
of
him
,
pulled
down
his
house
to
the
ground
;
which
was
afterwards
ratified
by
publick
justice
,
and
his
Wife
was
condemned
by
the
same
,
and
burned
for
a
Witch
.
And
to
make
their
names
the
more
odious
,
their
very
birth-places
were
ripped
up
,
and
they
were
both
found
to
proceed
from
the
dunghils
of
Florence
.
Thus
ended
this
sad
Tragedy
;
which
serves
as
Lights
and
Sea-marks
of
Mortality
,
to
teach
us
how
to
steer
our
brittle
Bark
in
this
Worlds
Tempest
,
that
we
bear
not
too
much
sail
,
but
keep
a
moderate
and
even
course
,
betwixt
the
rocks
of
pride
,
and
shallows
of
contempt
;
both
which
are
equally
dangerous
.
The
King
goes
into
Scotland
.
Our
King
dedicated
this
Summer
to
the
Northern
Climate
;
it
is
now
fourteen
years
Revolution
,
since
the
beams
of
Majesty
appeared
in
Scotland
.
He
begins
his
Journey
with
the
Spring
,
warming
the
Country
as
he
went
,
with
the
Glories
of
the
Court
:
Taking
such
Recreations
by
the
way
,
as
might
best
beguile
the
days
,
and
cut
them
shorter
;
but
lengthen
the
nights
(
contrary
to
the
Seasons
)
For
what
with
Hawking
,
Hunting
,
and
Horse-racing
,
the
days
quickly
ran
away
;
and
the
nights
with
Feasting
,
Masking
and
Dancing
,
were
the
more
extended
.
And
the
King
had
fit
Instruments
for
these
Sports
about
his
Person
,
as
Sir
George
Goring
,
Sir
Edward
Zouch
,
Sir
Iohn
Finnit
,
and
others
,
that
could
fit
and
obtemperate
the
Kings
Humour
:
For
he
loved
such
Representations
,
and
Disguises
in
their
Maskaradoe●
,
as
were
witty
,
and
sudden
;
the
more
ridiculous
,
the
more
pleasant
.
Edward
Somerset
Earl
of
Worcester
.
But
among
all
the
Dances
that
these
Times
were
guilty
of
,
The
Book
of
Sports
obtruded
.
none
of
the
Maskaradoes
presented
so
horrid
a
Vizard
as
the
Churchmans
:
For
some
of
the
Bishops
,
pretending
Recreations
,
and
liberty
to
servants
and
the
common
people
(
of
which
they
carved
to
themselves
too
much
already
)
procured
the
King
to
put
out
a
Book
to
permit
dancing
about
May-poles
,
Church-ales
,
and
such
debauched
Exercises
upon
the
Sabbath
day
after
Evening
Prayer
(
being
a
specious
way
to
make
the
King
,
and
them
,
acceptable
to
the
Rout
)
which
Book
came
out
with
a
command
,
injoyning
all
Ministers
to
read
it
to
their
Parishioners
,
and
to
approve
of
it
,
and
those
that
did
not
,
were
brought
into
the
High
Commission
,
imprisoned
,
and
suspended
.
This
Book
being
only
a
trap
to
catch
some
conscientious
men
,
that
they
could
not
otherwise
with
all
their
cunning
insnare
:
For
they
would
preach
the
Gospel
in
a
Fools-coat
(
as
some
of
them
exprest
)
rather
than
be
silenced
for
a
Surplis
.
And
their
Conjuring
of
them
with
the
Cross
in
Baptism
,
and
the
Circle
of
the
Ring
in
Marriage
,
could
not
make
a
well-composed
Reason
,
and
a
sound
Conscience
then
start
at
it
:
But
when
so
frightful
an
Apparition
as
the
dancing
Book
appeared
,
some
of
the
Ministers
left
all
for
fear
,
others
by
force
,
they
were
so
terrified
with
it
.
These
,
and
such
like
Machinations
of
the
Bishops
,
to
maintain
their
Temporal
Greatness
,
Ease
,
and
Plenty
,
made
the
stones
in
the
Walls
of
their
Palaces
,
and
the
beam
in
the
timber
,
afterwards
cry
out
,
moulder
away
,
and
come
to
nothing
:
Whereas
if
those
in
most
Authority
had
not
been
so
pragmatical
,
but
holy
,
prudent
,
and
godly
men
(
as
some
others
of
the
Function
were
)
their
light
might
have
shined
still
upon
the
Mount
,
and
not
have
gone
out
as
it
did
,
offensive
to
the
nostrils
of
the
rubbish
of
the
people
.
The
King
in
his
return
from
Scotland
made
his
Progress
through
the
Hunting-countries
(
his
Hounds
and
Hunters
meeting
him
)
Sherwood-Forrest
,
Need
wood
,
and
all
the
Parks
and
Forrests
in
his
way
,
were
ransacked
for
his
Recreation
.
And
every
night
begat
a
new
day
of
delight
,
till
he
brought
Holyrood-day
(
not
[
](A66541-e59640-b)*
*
His
House
in
Edenburg
so
called
.
Piety
of
the
Lord
Mayor
of
London
.
Holyrood-house
)
to
White-hall
.
This
new
incroachment
upon
the
Sabbath
gave
both
King
and
people
more
liberty
to
prophane
the
day
with
authority
:
For
if
the
Court
were
to
remove
on
Monday
,
the
Kings
Carriages
must
go
out
the
day
before
.
All
times
were
alike
;
and
the
Court
being
to
remove
to
Theobalds
the
next
day
,
the
Carriages
went
through
the
City
of
London
on
the
Sabbath
,
with
a
great
deal
of
clatter
and
noise
in
the
time
of
Divine
service
.
The
Lord
Mayor
hearing
of
it
,
commanded
them
to
be
stopt
,
and
this
carried
the
Officers
of
the
Carriages
with
a
great
deal
of
violence
to
the
Court
,
and
the
business
being
presented
to
the
King
with
as
much
asperity
as
men
in
authority
(
crossed
in
their
humors
)
could
express
it
;
It
put
the
King
into
a
great
Rage
,
Swearing
,
he
thought
there
had
been
no
more
Kings
in
England
but
himself
;
yet
after
he
was
a
little
cooled
,
he
sent
a
Warrant
to
the
Lord
Mayor
,
commanding
him
to
let
them
pass
,
which
he
obeyed
,
with
this
Answer
,
while
it
was
in
my
power
I
did
my
duty
,
but
that
being
taken
away
by
a
higher
power
,
it
is
my
duty
to
obey
.
Which
the
King
upon
second
thoughts
took
well
,
and
thanked
him
for
it
.
Juggling
of
the
Jesuits
.
As
Prophaneness
crept
in
on
one
side
,
so
did
Idolatry
and
Superstition
on
the
other
;
for
there
was
more
enmity
against
Ministers
of
the
Gospel
than
Popish
Priests
;
they
swarmed
over
the
Kingdom
,
working
miraculous
Projects
in
every
corner
.
One
pack
of
them
got
into
Stafford-shire
,
among
some
of
the
Giffords
in
that
County
,
Gentlemen
of
good
Estates
,
where
they
practised
their
Artifices
to
seduce
the
people
.
There
must
be
a
Ground-work
,
Estates
to
keep
them
(
being
like
the
Gout
,
never
troubling
the
poor
)
and
then
there
must
be
materials
,
Correspondents
to
act
for
them
.
Holiness
and
Piety
must
be
confirmed
by
Miracle
,
and
these
Miracles
must
be
visible
to
the
Peoples
eyes
,
that
they
may
convey
belief
better
to
the
heart
.
If
the
Priests
be
holy
,
and
can
subdue
Satan
,
the
Religion
they
profess
must
be
heavenly
,
that
triumphs
over
principalities
,
and
powers
,
and
spiritual
wickedness
,
bringing
all
to
obedience
.
These
are
finesses
and
subtilties
of
Mastring
Wits
(
calling
them
Piae
Fraudes
,
godly
deceits
,
Worms
to
bring
Fish
to
the
Net
)
and
this
kind
of
frippery
they
are
ever
fraught
with
.
For
about
this
time
there
was
a
Boy
born
at
Bilson
in
that
County
,
The
Boy
of
Bilson
.
whose
father
,
mother
,
neighbours
,
and
many
other
people
,
with
admiration
,
did
absolutely
think
possest
with
a
Devil
;
for
he
had
strange
,
sudden
,
violent
,
distorting
fits
,
that
appeared
to
all
the
beholders
contrary
to
Nature
,
and
being
not
full
fifteen
years
old
,
it
could
not
be
imagined
that
any
thing
of
Impostory
could
result
from
him
,
and
therefore
the
same
of
it
was
the
more
remarkable
.
The
Iesuits
(
that
are
the
best
Physicians
in
such
Distempers
)
hearing
of
it
,
visited
the
Boy
,
prayed
by
him
,
and
used
such
other
Charms
and
Exorcisms
,
as
are
fit
to
make
them
to
be
admired
;
giving
his
Parents
good
hope
of
dispossessing
him
of
that
foul
spirit
,
by
which
might
palpably
be
discerned
,
how
much
Gods
power
was
exprest
in
their
weakness
,
and
difference
the
truth
,
and
holiness
,
betwixt
the
Catholick
Religion
,
and
the
Heresie
professed
among
Protestants
.
So
that
they
that
heard
them
(
as
many
resorted
to
the
place
)
must
needs
take
them
for
very
holy
men
,
by
whom
such
Wonders
were
to
be
accomplished
.
The
Iesuits
visited
him
often
,
sometimes
in
private
.
sometimes
in
Company
;
but
this
kind
of
Spirit
would
not
be
commanded
by
them
,
so
that
they
grew
almost
desperate
of
the
Cure
.
The
Boy
in
his
fits
would
rave
against
an
old
woman
dwelling
near
to
his
Father
,
Accuses
a
Woman
to
be
a
Witch
.
intimating
by
signs
,
and
ghastly
behaviour
,
that
she
had
sent
a
Spirit
to
torment
him
;
and
in
plain
terms
(
when
he
was
out
of
his
fits
)
accused
her
to
be
a
Witch
,
and
the
Author
of
all
his
misery
.
This
old
woman
is
sent
to
the
Bishops
Chancellor
at
Lichfield
to
be
examined
;
the
Boy
is
brought
thither
to
confront
her
,
and
having
his
back
towards
her
,
at
her
coming
into
the
Room
,
where
the
Chancellor
was
,
before
she
yet
entred
or
appeared
,
he
falls
into
a
most
bitter
Agony
,
crying
out
,
Now
she
comes
,
now
my
Tormentor
comes
!
wreathing
and
tearing
himself
in
so
horrid
a
manner
,
that
it
did
not
only
breed
amazement
,
but
pity
in
the
Spectators
,
there
being
many
with
expectation
attending
the
issue
:
Which
,
with
some
other
probabilities
,
were
an
inducement
to
the
Chancellor
to
send
the
woman
to
Stafford
Goal
.
At
the
next
Assizes
for
that
County
,
the
Boy
and
his
Parents
appear
as
Witnesses
against
the
Witch
;
the
Boy
was
placed
in
a
conspicuous
part
of
the
Court
,
with
his
face
to
the
Bench
,
eying
the
Judg
continually
,
in
a
very
peaceable
and
quiet
posture
;
and
as
the
woman
was
coming
in
(
when
the
Court
thought
it
impossible
the
Boy
should
be
sensible
of
her
appearance
)
he
fell
into
a
more
raging
fit
than
ever
he
was
possest
with
before
:
So
stupendiously
unnatural
,
that
it
was
deemed
by
all
that
saw
it
,
that
nothing
but
a
Diabolical
Spirit
could
work
such
horrid
effects
.
This
,
thus
openly
acted
,
and
the
Relation
of
what
was
done
at
Lichfield
,
and
other
probabilities
evidencing
,
the
old
woman
(
that
had
no
good
Reputation
among
her
Neighbours
,
being
of
a
tetrical
and
froward
temper
,
incident
to
old
age
)
found
few
Friends
to
plead
her
Cause
;
so
that
being
indicted
for
Witchcraft
,
She
is
condemned
.
she
was
found
guilty
by
the
Iury
,
and
Condemned
to
die
.
Bishop
Morton
gets
her
Reprieve
.
Doctor
Morton
Bishop
of
that
Diocess
,
a
great
Father
of
the
Anglicane
Church
(
and
happily
then
on
the
Bench
about
Secular
Affairs
)
hearing
that
some
Romish
Priests
had
been
tampering
with
their
Exorcisms
,
to
the
undevilling
of
the
Boy
,
and
finding
little
reason
produced
,
why
,
or
for
what
cause
,
the
Witch
should
use
the
Child
so
ill
,
was
perswaded
,
this
might
be
some
jugling
trick
in
them
,
for
effecting
their
miraculous
ends
.
He
therefore
besought
the
Iudg
to
reprieve
the
woman
till
the
next
Assizes
,
and
he
would
take
the
Boy
home
with
him
,
have
him
carefully
and
strictly
looked
to
,
and
doubted
not
before
than
time
to
find
out
the
Bottom
of
some
secret
and
hidden
●●●rivance
.
The
Iudg
assented
to
the
Bishop's
request
,
and
so
the
Boy
was
carried
to
Eccleshal
Castle
,
the
Bishops
House
,
whither
his
fits
followed
him
with
a
great
deal
of
violence
:
For
being
put
out
of
his
r●ad
(
having
formerly
all
sorts
of
people
come
to
admire
him
,
and
now
being
more
carefully
looked
to
)
he
grew
s●llen
,
and
would
not
eat
sometimes
in
two
or
three
days
,
so
that
his
belly
was
almost
clung
,
and
grown
to
his
back
,
and
he
had
a
new
swelling
about
his
throat
,
which
never
appeared
before
;
lay
in
his
Bed
,
sometimes
as
it
were
senseless
,
sometimes
st●ring
with
his
eyes
,
and
foaming
at
the
mouth
,
sometimes
striking
those
that
stood
near
him
(
his
own
careful
mother
being
one
,
whom
he
made
all
black
about
the
arms
and
breasts
)
never
spoke
but
in
his
fits
,
and
then
a
strange
gibbrish
,
at
other
〈◊〉
he
only
muttered
and
made
signs
.
The
Bishop
visited
him
often
,
striving
sometimes
to
soften
him
with
gentleness
,
at
other
times
he
handled
him
roughly
,
with
objurgations
,
and
threatnings
;
but
his
ill
Spirit
is
capable
of
neither
.
He
spoke
to
him
one
time
some
of
the
Greek
Testament
,
to
see
how
that
would
work
,
and
it
brought
him
into
his
fit
.
At
another
time
,
he
uttered
some
Verses
out
of
the
Greek
Poets
,
which
his
Devil
was
not
so
learned
as
to
distinguish
,
for
that
put
him
into
a
fit
again
;
so
that
the
Bishop
was
confirmed
,
that
he
was
an
Impostor
of
a
most
pernicious
,
and
pernicious
Spirit
;
but
how
to
Conjure
it
out
of
him
was
the
difficulty
.
And
finding
words
and
menaces
made
no
impression
in
him
,
he
fell
to
blows
;
for
taking
him
out
of
his
Bed
,
and
having
one
to
hold
him
,
the
Bishop
gave
him
six
very
smart
lashes
with
a
Rod
,
which
moved
the
Boy
no
more
than
if
he
had
been
an
insensible
stock
.
They
also
thrust
needles
into
his
toes
and
fingers
,
betwixt
the
nails
,
clapt
burning
candles
to
his
eye-lids
,
till
they
singed
the
hair
off
,
to
divert
him
when
he
was
in
his
fits
;
but
with
all
their
persecutions
he
neither
winch'd
nor
stirred
,
so
that
the
Actors
were
more
troubled
to
execute
than
he
to
suffer
.
And
in
this
condition
growing
almost
desperate
,
he
would
make
signs
for
knives
or
any
other
instrument
to
do
himself
a
mischief
,
therefore
strict
care
was
taken
,
and
many
watchful
eyes
set
over
him
to
prevent
any
such
danger
.
Thus
he
continued
almost
a
quarter
of
a
year
,
at
last
his
Vrine
grew
so
black
,
that
the
Physicians
thought
Nature
had
left
her
usual
operations
,
having
never
found
in
any
Human
Body
so
much
Adust
matter
,
to
give
so
deep
and
deadly
a
tincture
.
This
struck
the
good
Bishop
very
near
:
The
Bishop
troubled
for
the
Boy
.
For
he
was
certain
the
Priests
had
been
Hammering
about
him
,
and
now
,
if
he
should
miscarry
under
his
hand
,
those
Mini-masters
of
mischief
would
in
their
dark
shops
coin
such
scandals
against
him
,
as
might
pass
current
in
the
Worlds
opinion
;
therefore
he
used
all
the
means
he
could
possible
,
as
well
to
preserve
him
,
as
to
discover
him
:
But
finding
the
Boy
indure
so
many
Trials
with
patience
,
so
much
tough
hardship
,
and
robustness
,
in
tender
years
,
he
resolved
if
his
water
continued
black
,
to
sit●
the
matter
no
further
.
To
find
out
which
he
set
a
trusty
servant
to
watch
him
through
a
hole
that
looked
into
the
Chamber
upon
the
Bed
,
which
the
Boy
knew
not
of
.
The
Bishop
going
that
morning
with
his
Family
to
a
Lecture
,
all
things
were
very
still
in
the
house
,
and
the
Boy
finding
all
quiet
,
no
noise
about
him
,
he
lifts
himself
up
,
stares
,
and
listens
,
and
at
length
gets
out
of
his
Bed
,
and
in
the
straw
or
mat
under
it
,
takes
out
an
Ink-horn
,
and
makes
water
in
the
Chamber-pot
through
a
piece
of
the
Cotton
,
in
his
hand
,
another
little
piece
of
the
Cotton
he
puts
into
his
Prepuce
,
covering
it
with
the
skin
,
and
that
was
for
a
Reserve
,
if
he
should
be
forced
to
make
water
when
company
is
by
.
Thus
having
cunningly
put
himself
in
order
,
he
hides
the
Ink-horn
again
,
and
returns
to
his
Bed
.
The
man
that
was
appointed
to
watch
him
seeing
all
this
,
The
Impostor
discovered
.
discovered
it
to
the
Bishop
at
his
coming
home
,
who
came
to
him
presently
,
and
askt
him
how
he
did
?
He
according
to
his
usual
manner
pointed
to
his
water
,
looked
ghastly
on
it
,
and
mutter'd
out
his
old
howling
tone
.
The
Bishop
that
meant
now
to
deal
roundly
with
him
,
said
,
Sirrah
,
you
have
Ink
in
your
bed-straw
,
which
you
make
use
of
to
black
your
water
,
and
your
knavery
is
found
out
;
and
calling
in
his
man
,
he
took
out
the
Ink-horn
where
the
Boy
had
hid
it
,
and
the
man
justified
,
that
he
saw
him
make
water
through
the
Cotton
.
Which
(
with
the
Bishops
threatning
to
send
him
to
the
house
of
Correction
)
struck
the
Boy
with
such
a
sudden
terror
,
that
he
rose
from
his
Bed
,
fell
upon
his
knees
,
and
humbly
besought
the
Bishop
to
pardon
him
,
and
he
would
discover
to
him
the
whole
Truth
.
And
as
he
put
on
his
cloaths
,
the
Bishop
laid
open
the
grievousness
of
his
sin
,
which
wrought
so
upon
his
spirit
,
that
he
melted
into
tears
,
crying
to
God
for
mercy
.
A
very
strange
alteration
!
That
,
what
he
did
but
counterfeit
,
the
Devil
had
so
hardned
in
him
,
that
all
the
Torments
and
Pains
,
inflicted
by
man
could
not
produce
a
tear
,
till
God
that
melted
the
Rock
,
had
first
touched
the
heart
.
The
King
took
delight
by
the
line
of
his
Reason
to
sound
the
depth
of
such
brutish
Impostors
,
The
King
discovers
many
Impostors
.
and
he
discovered
many
:
For
in
the
Beginning
of
his
Reign
,
Richard
Haydock
of
New-Colledg
in
Oxford
,
practised
Physick
in
the
day
,
and
Preached
in
the
night
in
his
Bed
.
His
Practice
came
by
his
Profession
,
and
his
Preaching
(
as
he
pretended
)
by
Revelation
:
For
he
would
take
a
Text
in
his
sleep
,
and
deliver
a
good
Sermon
upon
it
,
and
though
his
Auditory
were
willing
to
silence
him
,
by
pulling
,
haling
,
and
pinching
,
yet
would
he
pertinaciously
persist
to
the
end
,
and
sleep
still
.
The
fame
of
this
sleeping
Preacher
flies
abroad
with
a
light
Wing
,
which
coming
to
the
Kings
knowledg
,
he
commanded
him
to
the
Court
,
where
he
sate
up
one
night
to
hear
him
:
And
when
the
time
came
that
the
Preacher
thought
it
was
fit
for
him
to
be
asleep
,
he
began
with
a
Prayer
,
then
took
a
Text
of
Scripture
,
which
he
significantly
enough
insisted
on
a
while
,
but
after
made
an
excursion
against
the
Pope
,
the
Cross
in
Baptism
,
and
the
last
Canons
of
the
Church
of
England
,
and
so
concluded
sleeping
.
The
King
would
not
trouble
him
that
night
,
letting
him
rest
after
his
labours
,
but
sent
for
him
the
next
morning
,
and
in
private
handled
him
so
like
a
cunning
Chirurgion
,
that
he
found
out
the
sore
;
making
him
confess
not
only
his
sin
and
error
in
the
act
,
but
the
cause
that
urged
him
to
it
,
which
was
,
That
he
apprehended
himself
as
a
buried
man
in
the
Vniversity
,
being
of
a
low
condition
,
and
if
something
eminent
and
remarkable
did
not
spring
from
him
,
to
give
life
to
his
Reputation
,
he
should
never
appear
any
Body
,
which
made
him
attempt
this
Novelty
to
be
taken
notice
of
.
The
King
finding
him
ingenuous
in
his
Confession
,
pardoned
him
,
and
(
after
his
Recantation
publickly
)
gave
him
preferment
in
the
Church
.
Some
others
,
both
men
and
women
,
inspired
with
such
Enthusiasms
,
and
fanatick
fancies
,
he
reduced
to
their
right
senses
,
applying
his
Remedies
suitable
to
the
Distemper
,
wherein
he
made
himself
often
very
merry
(
being
happily
practised
,
to
be
taken
notice
of
by
him
)
but
some
of
their
Stories
being
a
little
coarse
,
are
not
so
fit
to
be
here
related
.
And
truly
the
loosness
and
carelesness
of
publick
Iustice
,
sets
open
a
door
to
such
slagitious
and
nefarious
actions
,
as
severer
times
would
never
have
perpetrated
.
Sir
Walter
Rawleighs
West-Indian
Voyage
.
About
this
time
,
that
gallant
Spirit
,
Sir
Walter
Rawleigh
,
(
who
in
his
Recesses
in
the
Tower
,
had
presented
in
lively
Characters
,
the
true
Image
of
the
Old
World
)
made
Accesses
to
the
King
,
whereby
he
got
leave
to
visit
the
New-World
in
America
.
Captain
Kemish
(
one
of
his
old
Seamen
and
Servants
)
shewing
him
a
piece
of
Ore
in
the
Tower
,
of
a
golden
complexion
,
(
a
glittering
temptation
to
begin
the
work
)
assuring
him
,
he
could
bring
him
to
a
Mine
in
Guiana
of
the
same
metal
:
which
(
together
with
Freedom
,
the
Crown
of
Life
and
Being
)
gave
rise
to
this
enterprise
.
The
King
looking
on
Rawleigh
as
a
man
whose
abilities
might
better
the
Nation
,
if
improved
the
right
way
,
gave
him
Liberty
,
and
a
Commission
under
the
great
Seal
,
to
equip
and
set
forth
Ships
,
and
Men
for
that
service
.
His
Reputation
,
and
merit
,
brought
many
Gentlemen
of
Quality
to
venture
their
Estates
,
and
Persons
,
upon
the
Design
;
and
being
gallantly
furnished
with
all
things
necessary
,
either
for
Peace
or
War
,
they
set
out
;
and
met
no
difficulties
,
till
they
came
to
Cape
Vert
in
Africa
;
and
then
they
found
the
Winds
averse
to
them
,
(
contrary
to
the
usual
nature
of
it
)
with
many
violent
Storms
,
which
much
impeded
their
Voyage
:
For
they
that
usually
navigate
betwixt
Cape
Vert
,
and
America
,
run
it
in
less
than
twenty
days
,
but
it
took
them
double
the
time
.
And
being
driven
from
the
Isle
of
Bravo
by
a
Tempest
,
their
left
their
Cables
,
Anchors
,
and
Water-Cask
behind
them
;
so
that
by
the
length
of
the
Time
,
heat
of
the
Climate
,
and
their
want
of
Water
,
great
sickness
fell
among
them
,
and
swept
away
many
of
their
ablest
men
,
both
for
Sea
and
Land
.
But
with
much
patience
and
hardship
,
getting
sight
of
the
Coast
of
Guiana
,
they
came
to
an
Anchor
in
five
Degrees
,
at
the
River
Caliana
,
where
they
landed
their
sick
men
,
set
up
Barges
,
and
Shallops
,
which
were
brought
out
of
England
in
Quarters
,
washed
their
Ships
,
and
took
in
fresh
Water
,
being
fed
and
assisted
by
the
Indians
,
that
Sir
Walter
Rawleigh
had
formerly
known
.
Who
(
in
this
general
contagion
,
having
grappled
long
with
sickness
,
and
not
yet
able
to
move
,
otherwise
than
he
was
carried
in
a
Chair
)
gave
order
to
five
small
Ships
to
sail
into
the
River
Orenoque
(
having
Captain
Kemish
for
their
Conductor
)
towards
the
Mine
,
the
Star
that
directed
them
thither
.
And
in
these
five
Ships
were
five
Foot-Companies
,
under
the
Command
of
Captain
Parker
,
and
Captain
North
,
Brothers
to
the
Lord
Monteagle
,
and
the
Lord
North
;
Captain
Walter
Raleigh
,
the
General
's
eldest
Son
;
Captain
Thornhurst
,
and
Captain
Chidley
,
Gentlemen
of
great
Valour
,
and
infinite
Patience
,
in
suffering
hunger
,
heat
and
labour
.
Major
Pigot
died
in
the
miserable
Passage
,
and
Sir
Warham
Santleger
(
who
was
Lieutenant
Colonel
)
lay
sick
,
without
hope
of
life
;
so
that
the
Command
of
the
five
Companies
being
conferred
upon
George
Raleigh
,
the
General
's
Nephew
(
made
Major
,
in
Pigot's
room
)
he
was
not
so
well
obeyed
,
as
the
Enterprise
required
.
As
they
past
up
the
River
,
the
Spaniards
began
the
War
,
and
shot
at
the
Ships
,
both
with
their
Ordnance
,
and
Musket
:
but
they
landed
their
Forces
,
without
any
great
loss
,
near
unto
a
Town
upon
the
River
,
called
Saint
Thome
,
and
gallantly
charged
the
Enemy
to
the
very
Ports
;
where
finding
some
little
opposition
,
they
at
last
forced
a
passage
,
and
made
themselves
Masters
of
the
Town
.
In
the
Assault
,
Captain
Walter
Raleigh
,
the
General
's
Son
(
a
Man
of
fire
and
courage
,
fitter
to
execute
,
than
to
order
his
Valour
)
was
slain
,
to
the
great
grief
of
the
Conquerours
.
The
other
five
Ships
staid
with
the
General
at
Trinidado
,
having
no
other
Port
capable
of
them
near
Guiana
.
The
first
was
commanded
by
the
General
himself
;
the
second
by
Captain
Iohn
Pennington
,
Vice-Admiral
;
the
third
by
Sir
Warham
Santleger
;
the
fourth
by
Sir
Iohn
Fern
;
the
fifth
by
Captain
Chidley
of
Devonshire
.
The
General
had
twelve
Ships
in
all
,
set
out
with
him
;
But
Captain
Whitney
and
Captain
Wolleston
mutined
against
him
,
and
run
home
again
from
the
Granadoes
.
With
these
five
Ships
they
daily
attended
the
Armada
of
Spain
,
and
had
they
set
upon
them
,
their
Force
divided
(
one
half
being
in
Orinoque
,
a
hundred
and
fifty
miles
from
them
)
they
in
Trinidado
had
not
only
been
indangered
,
but
all
those
in
the
River
had
also
perished
.
And
though
these
five
Ships
with
the
General
were
but
of
little
Defence
against
so
strong
a
power
as
the
King
of
Spain's
Gallions
,
yet
they
would
have
given
them
their
hands
full
,
for
they
were
all
resolved
to
have
burned
,
and
died
by
their
sides
.
But
the
Armada
staid
for
them
at
Margarita
,
by
which
Island
they
expected
them
to
pass
towards
the
Indies
.
For
the
King
,
The
Design
discovered
to
Gondemar
.
unwilling
to
displease
his
Brother
of
Spain
,
commanded
Sir
Walter
Raleigh
upon
his
Allegiance
,
before
he
went
out
,
to
set
down
under
his
hand
,
the
Country
,
and
the
River
,
which
he
was
to
enter
,
the
compleat
number
of
his
Men
,
the
burthen
of
his
Ships
,
and
what
Ordnance
every
Ship
carried
;
which
being
made
known
to
the
Count
Gondemar
,
the
Spanish
Ambassador
here
,
and
by
him
in
Post
to
the
King
of
Spain
,
A
Dispatch
was
made
by
that
King
to
the
Indies
,
and
his
Letters
sent
from
Madrid
,
before
Sir
Walter
Raleigh
with
his
Fleet
departed
out
of
the
River
Thames
.
For
the
first
Letter
sent
by
a
Bark
of
Advice
,
was
dated
the
19th
of
March
,
1617.
at
Madrid
.
The
second
Letter
was
sent
by
a
Carvell
to
Diego
de
Palomeque
,
at
Trinidado
.
The
third
Letter
by
the
Bishop
of
Puerto
Rico
;
and
the
fourth
was
sent
by
the
Farmer
and
Secretary
of
the
Customs
,
at
the
same
time
.
By
that
of
the
King's
hand
there
was
also
a
Commission
,
for
the
speedy
leavying
of
three
thousand
men
,
and
ten
pieces
of
Ordnance
,
to
be
sent
from
Puerto
Rico
,
for
the
defence
of
Guiana
.
These
Provisions
were
made
to
entertain
the
English
,
and
had
they
met
them
,
they
would
have
found
a
harsh
Banquet
.
But
the
Spaniards
at
Saint
Thome
(
their
Supplies
being
not
come
)
were
not
so
numerous
as
to
defend
both
the
Town
,
and
the
Passages
to
the
Mines
;
therefore
they
quitted
the
Town
,
and
fortified
the
way
to
the
Mines
near
the
Town
.
But
the
Passages
leading
to
the
Mine
that
Kemish
had
in
his
Eye
,
were
Aspera
&
fragosa
,
as
Sir
Walter
Raleigh
exprest
them
;
and
Kemish
found
the
River
so
low
,
that
he
could
not
approach
the
banks
,
in
most
places
near
the
Mine
,
by
a
mile
;
and
where
he
found
an
ascent
,
a
Volley
of
Musquets
came
from
the
Woods
,
and
at
one
time
slew
two
of
the
Rowers
,
hurt
six
others
,
and
shot
a
valiant
Gentleman
,
Captain
Thornhurst
,
in
the
head
,
of
which
he
with
great
difficulty
recovered
.
Kemish
seeing
so
much
hazard
in
attempting
to
find
the
Mine
,
the
Passage
to
it
being
full
of
thick
and
impassable
Woods
,
and
thinking
the
English
that
were
left
in
the
Town
of
Saint
Thome
,
would
not
be
able
to
defend
it
,
especially
if
the
Enemy
should
be
recruited
,
the
Country
being
all
in
Alarum
,
he
gave
over
the
Enterprise
,
and
returned
.
For
if
he
should
have
discovered
the
Mine
,
he
had
no
men
(
as
he
pretended
)
to
work
in
it
;
and
being
a
great
way
up
into
the
Land
,
men
would
have
been
got
thither
with
much
danger
,
and
difficulty
.
And
that
was
true
.
The
Spaniards
themselves
complain
for
want
of
Negroes
to
work
in
their
Mines
;
for
the
Indians
cannot
be
constrained
,
by
a
Law
of
Charles
the
Fifth
;
and
the
Spaniards
will
not
,
neither
can
they
endure
the
labour
.
But
this
was
ill
advised
,
to
take
so
much
pains
,
and
run
so
much
hazard
,
to
get
and
possess
that
,
which
when
they
had
it
,
they
could
not
make
use
of
it
;
so
that
which
Kemish
pleaded
(
when
he
returned
)
for
an
excuse
,
reflected
upon
him
as
a
great
miscarriage
.
As
soon
as
he
came
to
Saint
Thome
,
the
English
pillaged
the
Town
,
carried
away
the
best
,
and
most
portable
things
,
and
the
Enemy
not
daring
to
appear
for
the
Redemption
of
it
,
they
set
it
a-fire
,
leaving
behind
them
an
infinite
masse
of
Treasure
,
which
either
for
want
of
knowledge
,
or
power
,
they
could
not
attain
to
.
For
there
were
two
Gold
Mines
near
the
Town
,
the
one
possessed
by
Roderigo
de
Parama
,
the
other
by
Herman
Frontino
,
and
a
Silver
Mine
by
Francisco
Fashardo
:
to
preserve
and
fortifie
which
,
they
imployed
all
their
strength
and
industry
;
so
that
they
needed
not
have
gone
so
far
up
the
River
to
find
a
new
Mine
,
when
they
had
so
many
nearer
them
,
that
either
ignorance
or
want
of
strength
made
them
neglect
.
The
General
,
Raleigh
troubled
.
with
the
news
of
the
death
of
his
Son
,
and
Kemishe's
return
without
effecting
his
work
,
was
perplexed
to
the
very
soul
,
telling
Kemish
he
had
undone
him
,
and
wounded
his
credit
with
the
King
,
past
recovery
;
but
he
must
think
(
he
told
him
)
to
bear
the
weight
of
the
King's
anger
as
well
as
himself
;
for
he
must
a
vow
that
Kemish
knew
the
Mine
,
and
that
with
little
loss
he
might
have
possessed
it
.
Kemish
much
troubled
in
his
mind
,
Kemish
kills
himself
.
retires
to
his
Cabin
,
which
he
had
in
the
General
s
Ship
,
and
presently
after
his
being
there
,
he
shot
himself
with
a
Pistol
;
the
General
hearing
the
noise
,
askt
what
Pistol
it
was
?
Answer
was
made
,
that
Captain
Kemish
shot
it
off
in
his
Cabin
to
cleanse
it
;
but
Kemishe's
man
going
into
the
Cabin
,
found
his
Master
lying
in
his
own
blood
:
the
Pistol
having
a
little
bullet
did
only
crack
the
rib
,
which
being
too
slow
for
his
fury
,
he
desperately
thrust
a
knife
in
after
it
up
to
the
haft
;
and
with
him
the
Glory
of
the
Voyage
expired
.
For
the
Design
being
thus
broken
,
the
Ships
leaky
,
Victuals
failing
,
and
missing
of
those
golden
showers
they
gaped
after
(
that
Radical
moisture
which
fills
the
veins
of
the
affections
,
and
gives
life
and
vigor
to
all
actions
)
some
of
the
men
began
to
mutiny
against
the
General
,
others
were
for
him
;
some
would
have
him
go
home
,
others
would
have
him
stay
;
the
major
part
forced
him
to
swear
not
to
go
home
but
by
their
allowance
;
and
yet
his
Ships
dwindled
away
one
after
another
(
his
strength
was
best
discovered
by
his
weakness
)
ten
Ships
being
reduced
to
four
,
and
those
would
do
what
they
list
.
Some
would
go
for
Italy
,
some
for
France
,
few
for
England
,
fearing
the
Spanish
Power
there
more
than
they
did
in
the
Indies
.
Thus
they
were
shatter'd
in
judgment
,
with
a
greater
Tempest
than
the
Seas
or
Winds
could
produce
.
Miserable
is
that
Government
where
the
Multitude
is
Master
!
At
last
he
is
brought
to
Kinsale
in
Ireland
.
The
news
of
taking
and
burning
St.
Thome
coming
to
Gondemar
,
Gondemar
incenses
the
King
against
Raleigh
.
1618.
he
besieges
,
and
(
as
it
were
)
assaults
the
King
with
importunity
for
Reparation
:
For
he
was
a
man
not
only
of
an
insinuating
and
glosing
spirit
,
but
of
a
violent
and
fiery
temper
,
when
any
cross
accident
blew
up
the
humor
.
The
matter
is
aggravated
with
the
highest
circumstances
by
those
of
the
Spanish
Faction
,
as
if
this
irruption
of
Raleigh's
,
not
only
tended
to
the
breach
of
the
Treaty
of
Marriage
betwixt
Prince
Charles
,
and
the
Infanta
of
Spain
(
that
was
then
in
motion
)
but
to
the
infringement
of
the
Peace
and
Amity
,
established
betwixt
the
two
Crowns
.
The
King's
fears
being
heightned
to
Anger
,
he
disavows
the
Action
,
and
lest
others
of
his
Subjects
should
by
this
example
take
the
boldness
to
attempt
the
like
Hostility
against
the
King
of
Spain
,
he
puts
out
a
Proclamation
,
wherein
he
shews
his
detestation
of
such
proceedings
,
and
threatens
severe
punishment
to
the
enterprisers
,
thereby
to
deter
them
.
Which
gave
Gondemar
some
satisfaction
,
whose
design
being
only
to
get
Sir
Walter
Raleigh
home
(
after
this
brush
)
vented
little
passion
,
but
so
cunningly
skinned
over
his
malice
,
that
when
Raleigh
was
in
Ireland
,
he
found
,
nor
heard
of
no
such
great
difficulties
(
Dangers
often
flying
upon
the
wings
of
rumor
)
but
that
he
might
appear
in
England
,
and
the
men
not
willing
to
be
banished
their
own
Country
(
though
some
of
them
had
France
in
their
eye
)
put
in
at
Plimouth
Raleigh
was
no
sooner
ashore
,
but
he
had
private
intimation
,
which
gave
him
cause
to
suspect
,
the
smoothness
of
this
beginning
would
have
a
rough
end
;
therefore
he
attempted
an
escape
from
●hence
in
a
bark
of
Rochel
:
But
being
apprehended
by
Sir
Lewis
Stukly
(
his
Kinsman
)
who
had
private
warrant
and
instructions
to
that
purpose
(
so
unnatural
and
servile
is
the
spirit
,
when
it
hath
an
allay
of
baseness
,
there
being
many
others
sitter
for
that
employment
)
he
is
brought
to
London
,
and
recommitted
to
the
Tower
.
He
is
committed
to
the
Tower
.
He
was
no
sooner
in
the
Tower
,
but
all
his
Transactions
in
this
business
are
put
to
the
Rack
,
and
tenter'd
by
his
Adversaries
.
They
say
he
knew
of
no
Mine
,
nor
did
Kemish
know
that
the
Mine
he
aimed
at
was
Gold
;
but
Kemish
bringing
him
a
piece
of
Ore
into
the
Tower
,
he
fobb'd
a
piece
of
Gold
into
it
in
dissolving
,
making
the
poor
man
believe
the
Ore
was
right
,
that
by
these
golden
degrees
,
he
might
ascend
to
Liberty
,
promising
the
King
to
fetch
it
where
never
Spaniard
had
been
.
But
when
Kemish
found
by
better
experience
he
was
couzen'd
by
Raleigh
,
he
came
back
from
the
Mine
:
And
Raleigh
knowing
that
none
but
Kemish
could
accuse
him
,
made
him
away
.
This
Vizard
was
put
upon
the
face
of
the
Action
,
and
all
the
weight
of
the
Miscarriage
was
laid
upon
Raleigh's
shoulders
.
Gonaemar
that
looked
upon
him
as
a
man
that
had
not
only
high
Abilities
,
but
Animosity
enough
to
do
his
Master
mischief
(
being
one
of
those
Scourges
,
which
that
old
Virago
,
(
the
late
Queen
)
as
he
called
her
,
used
to
afflict
the
Spaniards
with
)
having
gotten
him
into
this
Trap
,
laid
now
his
baits
about
the
King
.
There
is
a
strange
virtue
in
this
spirit
of
Sol
!
the
intenseness
makes
men
firm
,
the
ductilness
brings
them
to
be
active
.
French
Crowns
are
not
so
pure
,
not
so
piercing
as
Spanish
Pistols
.
Auri
sacra
fames
!
quid
non
mortalia
pectora
cogis
?
The
King
that
loved
his
Peace
,
is
incensed
by
them
that
loved
their
Profit
,
and
the
poor
Gentleman
must
lay
down
the
price
of
his
life
upon
the
old
Reckoning
.
Raleigh
answered
,
That
he
was
told
by
his
Council
,
that
Iudgment
was
void
,
by
the
Commission
his
Majesty
was
pleased
to
give
him
since
under
the
Great
Seal
for
his
last
Employment
,
which
did
give
him
a
new
vigour
and
life
to
that
service
.
The
Lord
chief
Justice
replyed
that
he
was
deceived
,
and
that
the
opinion
of
the
Court
was
to
the
contrary
.
Then
he
desired
that
some
reasonable
time
might
be
allowed
him
to
prepare
for
Death
;
but
it
was
answered
,
That
the
time
appointed
was
the
next
morning
,
and
it
was
not
to
be
doubted
,
but
he
had
prepared
himself
for
death
long
since
.
Raleigh
having
a
courageous
spirit
(
finding
the
bent
of
the
King's
mind
,
and
knowing
Disputes
to
be
in
vain
,
where
Controversies
are
determined
)
acquiesc'd
,
was
conveyed
to
the
Gatehouse
,
and
the
day
following
was
brought
to
the
Old
Palace
yard
at
Westminster
,
And
Beheaded
.
and
upon
a
Scaffold
there
erected
,
lost
his
head
.
He
had
in
the
outward
man
a
good
presence
,
His
character
,
and
description
.
in
a
handsom
and
well-compacted
person
,
a
strong
natural
wit
,
and
a
better
judgment
,
with
a
bold
and
plausible
tongue
,
whereby
he
could
set
off
his
parts
to
the
best
advantage
.
And
to
these
he
had
the
Adjuncts
of
general
Learning
,
which
(
by
Diligence
and
Experience
(
those
two
great
Tutors
)
being
now
threescore
years
of
age
)
was
augmented
to
a
great
perfection
,
being
an
indefatigable
Reader
,
and
having
a
very
retentive
memory
.
At
his
Arraignment
at
Winchester
,
his
carriage
to
his
Judges
was
with
great
discretion
;
humble
,
yet
not
prostrate
;
dutiful
,
yet
not
dejected
:
Towards
the
Iury
affable
,
but
not
fawning
;
not
in
despair
,
nor
believing
,
but
hoping
in
them
;
carefully
perswading
them
with
Reasons
,
not
distemperately
importuning
them
with
Conjurations
;
rather
shewing
love
of
life
than
fear
of
death
.
Towards
the
King's
Council
patient
,
but
not
insensible
neglecting
,
nor
yielding
to
Imputations
laid
against
him
in
words
(
which
Sir
Edward
Cook
,
then
the
King's
Attorney
,
belched
out
freely
)
and
it
was
wondred
a
man
of
his
high
spirit
could
be
so
humble
in
suffering
,
not
being
much
overtaken
in
passion
.
And
now
at
his
last
,
when
Deeth
was
presented
before
him
,
he
looked
upon
it
without
affrightment
,
striving
to
vindicate
his
Actions
,
by
taking
off
the
veil
that
false
Reports
had
cast
upon
them
(
especially
the
Imputation
of
his
glorying
,
and
rejoycing
in
the
fall
,
&
at
the
death
of
the
la●e
E.
of
Essex
,
which
had
stuck
so
many
years
in
his
breast
;
&
this
new
miscarriage
of
Kemish's
of
a
later
date
imputed
to
him
)
for
having
provided
himself
privately
for
heaven
,
clearing
his
Accounts
with
God
before
he
came
to
the
Scaffold
,
He
publickly
at
last
reckon'd
with
man
(
being
to
quit
all
soores
)
and
so
made
an
end

Times
of
Peace
are
accounted
the
happiest
times
,
and
though
they
are
great
Blessings
,
proceeding
from
the
influence
of
supreme
Mercy
,
and
the
showers
of
Grace
,
yet
the
branches
of
the
Tree
of
Knowledge
(
growing
by
this
Sun
shine
)
for
want
of
due
pruning
,
do
often
become
so
exuberant
,
that
their
very
fruits
are
not
only
their
burthen
,
but
sometimes
their
ruin
.
Prosperity
is
of
an
Airy
constitution
,
carried
about
with
the
breath
of
strange
fancies
,
which
mount
sometimes
as
high
as
Omnipotency
;
but
there
finding-resistance
,
they
come
down
amain
,
and
beat
the
lower
Region
with
a
Tempest
of
Strife
and
Malice

Our
Neighbours
of
the
Netherlands
(
that
had
so
long
bounded
the
Spanish
Power
,
&
humbled
their
Pride
so
far
,
as
to
acknowledg
them
a
Free-State
,
before
they
would
so
much
as
listen
to
an
Overture
of
Peace
)
had
a
fire
kindled
in
their
own
bosomes
.
It
is
now
some
time
since
the
12
years
Truce
betwixt
Spain
&
them
began
,
being
in
the
Wain
,
&
last
Quarter
.
While
they
had
their
hands
full
of
business
,
they
had
not
their
heads
full
of
old
Curiosities
.
Now
like
Plethorique
bodies
,
that
want
letting
blood
,
they
break
out
into
distemper
;
A
Schism
in
the
Church
,
and
a
Faction
in
the
State
.
The
first
Author
of
the
Schism
was
Arminius
;
of
the
Faction
,
Barnevelt
;
Persons
of
great
parts
and
power
(
though
of
different
natures
.
)
The
one
had
been
Divinity-Professor
at
Leyden
the
other
the
Manager
of
all
the
great
affairs
of
the
State
.
Distempers
in
Kingdoms
and
States
,
are
like
madness
in
bodies
,
which
doth
not
break
out
till
some
accident
doth
stir
the
humor
.
Arminius
dyed
just
upon
the
beginning
of
the
Treaty
,
which
was
in
the
year
1609.
Leaving
behind
him
the
seeds
of
this
Pelagian
Heresie
,
which
though
it
were
cherished
much
by
some
,
in
whose
bosomes
he
had
sown
it
,
yet
happily
it
might
never
have
taken
root
,
had
not
Peace
and
Ease
manured
it
,
and
made
it
fruitful
.
The
Mysteries
of
Predestination
,
and
the
ineffable
Essence
of
God
(
Quaetremenda
&
admiranda
sunt

non
scrutanda

use
our
King

own
words
)
which
are
to
be
trembled
at
,
and
admired
,
not
pried
into
)
are
the
great
Theme
.
Such
intuitions
are
too
high
for
flesh
and
blood
:
Yet
what
will
not
Pragmatical
spirits
do
,
when
they
proudly
look
into
Divine
things
with
the
Eye
of
Reason
,
not
humbly
with
the
Eye
of
Faith
?

But
long
before
this
time
,
our
King
saw
the
Storm
coming
upon
them
:
Our
King
forewarns
them
of
it
An.
1611.
For
in
the
year
1611
he
forewarns
the
State
,
telling
them
,
that
by
the
unhappy
succession
of
two
such
Prodigies
in
one
Sphere
,
as
Arminius
and
Vorstius
,
some
dreadful
mischief
would
succeed
.
For
Arminius
was
no
sooner
dead
,
but
those
that
drew
on
the
Design
,
had
an
eye
on
Vorstius
his
Disciple
,
to
make
him
Divinity-Professor
in
his
place
;
which
the
King
hearing
of
,
and
having
read
some
of
Vorstius
blasphemous
Writings
,
sends
to
his
then
Ambassador
Sir
Ralph
Winwood
,
Resident
there
,
to
let
the
State
know
that
Vorstius
rather
deserved
punishment
than
promotion
;
that
the
head
of
such
a
Viper
should
be
trod
upon
,
and
crushed
,
that
was
likely
to
eat
his
way
through
the
bowels
of
the
State
.
And
if
they
(
nevertheless
)
would
persist
to
prefer
him
,
he
would
make
known
to
the
World
publickly
in
Print
,
how
much
he
detested
such
abominable
Heresies
,
and
all
allowers
and
tolerators
of
them
.
The
Ambassador
urging
the
King's
desires
,
they
returned
a
long
Answer
in
justification
of
Vorstius
.
First
,
The
States
answer
That
the
Curators
of
the
University
of
Leyden
(
according
to
their
duty
,
and
the
ancient
custom
ever
since
the
foundation
of
that
University
)
having
diligently
made
inquiry
for
some
Doctor
to
be
chosen
in
the
place
of
Divinity-Professor
there
,
at
that
time
void
;
after
mature
deliberation
,
they
made
election
of
Conradus
Vorstius
to
that
place
.
Which
Election
and
Calling
,
was
countermined
presently
after
,
by
certain
persons
,
to
whose
Office
or
Disposal
,
the
business
did
nothing
at
all
belong
;
who
charged
the
said
Vorstius
with
unsoundness
of
Doctrine
;
whereupon
the
Curators
thought
fit
(
with
the
good
liking
of
Vorstius
himself
)
that
both
at
Leyden
,
and
at
the
Hague
,
he
should
appear
in
his
own
justification
,
to
answer
all
Accusers
;
which
he
did
,
and
there
came
none
to
charge
him
.
But
not
long
after
,
six
Ministers
undertook
to
prove
,
That
Vorstius
had
published
false
Doctrine
,
who
being
heard
in
a
full
Assembly
of
the
States
of
Holland
and
Westfrizeland
,
they
could
by
their
Arguments
find
no
reason
,
why
the
Execution
of
what
was
done
by
the
Curators
lawfully
,
ought
to
be
hindred
or
impeached
.
And
they
do
assuredly
believe
,
that
if
his
Majesty
of
Great
Britain
were
well
informed
of
the
true
Circumstances
of
this
business
,
he
would
,
according
to
his
high
wisdom
,
and
prudence
,
conceive
favourably
of
them
,
they
proceeding
in
this
business
with
all
reverence
,
care
and
respect
,
to
his
Majestie
's
serious
admonition
.
Dated
at
the
Hague
1
Octob.
1611.
The
King
seeing
which
way
the
States
went
,
by
the
print
of
the
footing
that
Vorstius
had
set
among
them
,
Vorstius's
Books
burned
by
the
King
.
caused
his
Books
publickly
to
be
burned
in
Paul's
Church-yard
,
and
both
the
Universities
.
And
not
giving
it
over
,
writes
to
them
again
,
to
be
mindful
of
the
glory
of
God
,
and
not
suffer
such
scan
dalous
members
to
remain
in
the
body
of
the
true
Reformed
Church
,
that
maintain
such
execrable
Blasphemies
,
as
to
deny
the
Eternity
and
Omnipotency
of
God
:
Therefore
he
desires
them
so
much
to
mind
the
glory
of
God
,
and
their
own
honour
,
and
safety
,
as
to
extirpate
such
Atheisms
,
and
Heresies
.
But
if
they
suffer
such
pestilent
Hereticks
to
nestle
among
them
(
who
dare
take
upon
them
the
licentious
liberty
to
fetch
again
from
Hell
ancient
Heresies
long
since
condemned
,
and
invent
new
ones
of
their
own
,
to
the
depravation
of
the
true
Catholick
Church
)
he
should
be
constrained
publickly
to
protest
against
them
.
Dated
at
Theobalds
6
Octob.
1611.
Sir
Ralph
Winwood
represented
this
Letter
to
the
States
,
and
finding
them
cold
and
backward
in
proceeding
any
further
against
Vorstius
,
according
to
the
King's
Directions
to
him
,
he
made
this
Remonstrance
to

These
are
,
in
part
,
the
opinions
of
that
great
Divine
,
who
is
chosen
to
domineer
in
the
Chair
at
Leyden
:
In
opposition
whereunto
,
I
mean
not
to
say
any
thing
,
but
that
which
the
Roman
Orator
did
once
pronounce
in
the
like
Case
,
Mala
est
,
&
impia
consuetudo
,
contra
Deum
disputandi
,
sive

;
It
is
an
evil
and
wicked
Custom
to
dispute
against
God
,
whether
it
be
in
earnest
,
or
in
jest
.
Now
my
Lords
,
I
address
my self
unto
you
,
and
according
to
the
Charge
which
I
have
received
from
the
King
my
Master
,
I
conjure
you
by
the
amity
that
is
betwixt
his
Kingdoms
,
and
your
Provinces
,
to
awaken
your
Spirits
,
and
to
have
a
careful
eye
at
this
Assembly
of
Holland
(
which
is
already
begun
)
ne
quid
Respublica

,
that
the
Commonwealth
take
no
harm
;
which
undoubtedly
at
one
time
or
other
will
be
turned
upside
down
,
if
you
suffer
such
a
dangerous
Contagion
to
harbour
so
near
you
,
and
not
remove
it
as
soon
as
possibly
you
may
.
The
Disciples
of
Socinus
(
with
whose
Doctrine
Vorstius
hath
been
suckled
in
his
Childhood
)
do
seek
him
for
their
Master
,
and
are
ready
to
embrace
him
.
Let
him
go

On
the
other
side
,
the
Students
in
Divinity
at
Leyden
,
to
the
number
of
six
and
fifty
,
by
a
dutiful
Remonstrance
presented
unto
the
States
of
Holland
the
sixteenth
of
October
,
the
last
year
,
being
1610.
did
most
humbly
beseech
the
said
States
,
not
to
use
their
authority
in
compelling
them
to
receive
a
Professor
,
who
both
by
the
attestations
of
the
Divinity-Colleges
at
Basil
,
and
Heydelberg
,
as
also
by
manifest
evidence
out
of
his
own
Writings
,
is
convinced
of
a
number
of
manifest
Heresies
.
These
Reasons
therefore
,
namely
,
the
many
enormous
and
horrible
Heresies
maintained
by
him
;
the
Instance
of
his
Majesty
,
grounded
upon
the
welfare
and
honour
of
this
Country
;
the
Requests
either
of
all
,
or
of
the
most
part
of
your
Provinces
;
the
Petitions
of
all
the
Ministers
(
excepting
those
only
which
are
of
Arminius's
Sect
)
should
methinks
prevail
so
far
with
my
Lords
the
States
of
Holland
,
as
they
will
at
the
last
apply
themselves
to
the
performance
of
that
,
which
both
the
sincerity
of
Religion
,
and
the
service
of
their
Country
,
requireth
at
their
hands
.
Furthermore
,
I
have
Commandment
from
his
Majesty
,
to
move
you
in
his
name
,
to
set
down
some
certain
Reglement
in
matters
of
Religion
,
throughout
your
Provinces
,
that
this
licentious
Freedom
of
Disputation
may
be
restrained
,
which
breeds
factions
,
and
part-takings
;
and
that
you
would
absolutely
take
away
the
Liberty
of
Prophesying
,
which
Vorstius
doth
so
much
recommend
unto
you
in
the
Dedicatory
Epistle
of
his
Anti-Bellarmine
,
the
book
whereof
his
Patrons
do
boast
so
much
.
And
his
Majesty
doth
exhort
you
,
seeing
you
have
heretofore
taken
Arms
for
the
Liberty
of
your
Consciences
,
and
have
endured
a
violent
and
bloody
War
the
space
of
forty
years
,
for
the
Profession
of
the
Gospel
,
that
now
having
gotten
the
upper
hand
of
your
miseries
,
you
would
not
suffer
the
Followers
of
Arminius
to
make
your
actions
an
example
for
them
to
proclaim
throughout
the
World
that
wicked
Doctrine
of
the
Apostacy
of
the
Saints
.
The
account
which
his
Majesty
doth
make
of
your
amity
,
appears
sufficiently
by
the
Treaties
which
he
made
with
your
Lordships
,
by
the
succours
which
your
Provinces
have
received
from
his
Crowns
,
by
the
deluge
of
blood
,
which
his
Subjects
have
spent
in
your
Wars
.
Religion
is
the
only
solder
of
this
Amity
.
For
his
Majesty
being
by
the
grace
of
God
Defender
of
the
Faith
,
doth
hold
himself
obliged
to
defend
all
those
who
profess
the
same
Faith
and
Religion
with
him
:
But
if
once
your
zeal
begins
to
grow
cold
therein
,
his
Majesty
will
then
straightways
imagin
,
that
your
friendship
towards
him
,
and
his
Subjects
,
will
likewise
freeze
by
little
and
little
.
The
Right
Honourable
Sr.
RALPH
WINWOOD
Kn.t
This
was
the
effect
of
Sir
Ralph
Winwood's
Remonstrance
,
to
which
,
after
six
weeks
delay
,
he
received
this
cold
and
ambiguous
Answer
.
THat
the
States
General
had
deliberated
upon
his
Majestie
's
Proposition
,
The
States
answer
.
and
Letter
dated
the
6
Oct.
1611.
and
do
give
him
humble
Thanks
for
the
continuance
of
his
Royal
affection
towards
the
welfare
of
their
Country
,
and
preservation
of
Religion
.
And
that
they
had
entred
into
Consultation
concerning
the
Articles
charged
against
Vorstius
;
and
the
Curators
of
Leyden
did
thereupon
make
an
Order
provisional
,
that
Vorstius
should
not
be
admitted
to
the
Exercise
of
his
Place
,
but
remain
in
Leyden
only
as
an
Inhabitant
,
and
Citizen
.
And
in
case
Vorstius
should
not
be
able
to
clear
himself
from
those
Accusations
which
were
laid
to
his
Charge
,
at
or
before
the
next
Assembly
(
which
was
to
be
holden
in
Feb.
following
)
that
then
they
would
decide
the
Matter
with
good
contentment
to
his
Majesty
.
But
this
Answer
still
savouring
of
delays
,
could
not
in
effect
be
esteemed
less
than
an
absolute
refusal
to
yield
to
the
King's
desires
;
besides
,
the
specious
Separation
of
Vortius
as
a
Citizen
,
was
only
to
satisfie
the
King
at
present
;
for
he
(
after
)
notwithstanding
exercised
his
Place
of
Professor
.
Whereupon
Sir
Ralph
Winwood
knowing
the
King's
mind
,
made
this
Protestation
in
their
Publick
Assembly
.
My
Lords
,
THere
is
not
any
one
of
you
,
Sir
Ralph
Winwood's
Protestation
.
I
suppose
,
in
this
Assembly
,
that
will
not
acknowledge
the
brotherly
love
wherewith
the
King
,
my
Master
,
hath
always
affected
the
good
of
your
Provinces
,
and
the
fatherly
care
which
he
hath
ever
had
to
procure
the
establishment
of
your
State
.
In
which
respect
,
his
Majesty
having
understood
,
that
Vorstius
was
elected
Divinity-Professor
of
Leyden
,
a
Person
attainted
by
many
Witnesses
,
Iuris
&
facti
,
of
a
number
of
Heresies
,
is
therewith
exceedingly
offended
.
And
for
the
timely
prevention
of
an
infinite
of
evils
,
did
give
me
in
charge
to
exhort
you
(
which
I
did
the
21
of
September
last
)
to
wash
your
hands
from
that
Man
,
and
not
suffer
him
to
come
within
your
Country
.
To
this
Exhortation
your
Answer
was
,
That
all
due
observance
and
regard
should
be
had
unto
his
Majesty
:
But
his
Majesty
hath
received
so
little
respect
herein
,
that
instead
of
debarring
Vorstius
from
coming
into
the
Country
(
which
even
by
the
Laws
of
Friendship
his
Majesty
might
have
required
)
the
Proceedings
have
been
clean
contrary
;
for
he
is
permitted
to
come
to
Leyden
,
hath
been
received
there
with
all
honour
,
taken
up
his
habitation
,
treated
and
lodged
in
the
quality
of
a
publick
Professor
.
His
Majesty
perceiving
his
first
motion
had
so
little
prevailed
,
writ
a
Letter
to
you
to
the
same
purpose
,
full
of
zeal
and
affection
,
persuading
you
by
many
Reasons
,
not
to
stain
your
own
honor
,
and
the
honor
of
the
Reformed
Churches
,
by
calling
unto
you
that
wretched
and
wicked
Atheist
.
These
Letters
were
presented
to
this
Assembly
,
the
fifth
of
November
last
,
at
which
time
by
his
Majesties
command
I
used
some
speech
my self
to
the
same
effect
.
Some
six
weeks
after
I
received
an
answer
,
but
so
confused
,
ambiguous
,
and
impertinent
,
that
I
have
reason
to
conceive
there
is
no
meaning
at
all
to
send
Vortius
away
,
who
is
at
present
in
Leyden
,
received
,
acknowledged
,
respected
,
and
treated
as
publick
Professor
,
whether
it
be
to
grace
that
University
instead
of
the
deceased
Ioseph
Scaliger
,
or
whether
to
give
him
means
to
do
more
mischief
in
secret
,
which
perhaps
for
shame
he
durst
not
in
publick
,
I
cannot
tell
.
For
these
reasons
,
according
to
that
charge
which
I
have
received
from
the
King
my
Master
,
I
do
in
his
name
,
and
on
his
behalf
,
protest
in
this
Assembly
,
against
the
wrong
,
injury
,
and
scandal
,
done
unto
the
Reformed
Religion
,
by
receiving
,
and
retaining
Conradus
Vorstius
in
the
University
of
Leyden
,
and
against
the
violence
offered
unto
that
Alliance
which
is
betwixt
his
Majesty
and
your
Provinces
;
which
being
founded
upon
the
preservation
,
and
maintenance
of
the
Reformed
Religion
,
you
have
not
omitted
to
violate
,
in
the
proceeding
of
this
cause
.
Of
which
enormous
indignities
committed
against
the
Church
of
God
,
and
against
his
Majestie
's
person
,
in
preferring
the
presence
of
Vorstius
,
before
his
amity
and
alliance
,
the
King
my
Master
holds
himself
bound
to
be
sensible
,
and
if
Reparation
be
not
made
,
and
that
speedily
(
which
cannot
be
by
any
other
means
,
than
by
sending
Vorstius
away
)
his
Majesty
will
make
it
appear
unto
the
World
by
some
Declaration
(
which
he
will
cause
to
be
printed
and
published
)
how
much
he
detests
the
Atheisms
,
and
Heresies
of
Vorstius
,
and
all
those
that
maintain
,
favour
,
and
cherish
them
.
To
this
the
States
promised
a
better
Answer
at
their
next
Assembly
,
but
that
producing
no
good
effect
,
the
King
writes
a
Declaration
against
Vorstius
,
which
is
extant
in
his
own
Works
,
collected
by
Doctor
Iames
Montague
,
son
to
Sir
Edward
Montague
of
Bowghton
in
the
County
of
Northampton
,
Knight
,
then
Bishop
of
Winchester
,
and
Dean
of
his
Majestie
's
Chappel
;
in
which
Volume
is
depainted
the
King's
excellent
spirit
,
and
many
Royal
Graces
tending
to
Religion
and
Piety
.
IOSEPHVS
,
SCALIGER
—
And
after
,
in
the
year
1613.
there
were
many
Discords
among
them
,
which
our
King
hearing
of
,
he
incited
the
States
by
Letters
again
(
so
willing
he
was
to
have
Unity
among
them
)
that
this
War
of
the
Tongue
might
be
pacified
rather
by
publick
Authority
than
School
Disputations
,
Our
King
writes
to
the
States
in
1613.
and
by
his
Mediation
,
for
a
good
time
the
Humor
was
abated
,
or
rested
,
as
in
the
interpolate
Fits
of
Agnes
,
but
the
Rancor
broke
out
again
more
than
ever
.
For
this
year
1618.
(
as
formerly
expressed
)
the
Distemper
came
to
the
State
,
or
height
,
and
had
ever
after
a
decline
.
Our
King
hearing
of
the
Disorders
and
Tumults
among
them
,
looked
upon
them
(
now
)
as
so
many
ill
Omens
,
portending
not
only
the
ruin
of
the
Netherlands
,
but
the
Tempest
growing
greater
might
beat
too
soon
upon
the
British-shores
.
To
stay
therefore
the
swelling
progress
of
this
Gangrene
humor
,
And
now
in
1618.
he
prohibits
his
Subjects
by
Proclamation
to
send
their
children
to
Leyden
,
and
solicits
the
States
by
Letters
again
,
not
only
to
forbid
the
preaching
of
these
Controversies
(
the
Pulpits
being
made
but
the
Bellows
of
Dissention
)
but
commands
his
Ambassador
Sir
Dudley
Carleton
to
shew
them
their
Disease
,
and
then
prescribes
them
the
Cure
.
Their
Disease
was
this
,
Schism
in
the
Church
,
which
usher'd
in
a
Faction
in
the
State
,
jealousie
and
disaffection
among
the
Magistrates
,
hatred
,
and
heart-burning
among
the
Common
people
,
contempt
of
the
Orders
and
Decrees
of
the
chiefest
Courts
of
Iustice
,
distraction
among
the
Souldiers
,
being
tyed
to
several
forms
of
Oaths
,
insurrections
&
commotions
among
the
Companies
new
levied
,
not
well
disciplin'd
(
as
likewise
among
the
common
people
)
which
have
extended
to
blood
,
to
the
affrightment
,
fear
,
and
trouble
of
all
the
Provinces
;
at
which
the
Enemy
smiles
(
who
happily
have
a
hand
in
the
design
)
and
their
friends
lament
to
see
it
so
.
To
cure
which
Malady
,
there
is
no
other
way
than
to
call
a
National
Council
,
where
these
Waters
of
strife
being
kept
in
due
bound
,
the
asperous
edge
of
Opinion
might
be
taken
off
,
by
grave
and
weighty
Reason
,
to
abate
the
Passion
both
in
Church
and
State
.
The
Remonstrants
(
which
the
Arminians
called
themselves
)
carrying
on
their
Resolutions
with
a
full
sail
,
Barnevelt
opposes
the
Pr.
of
Orange
.
would
by
no
means
alter
their
course
,
or
consent
to
the
calling
of
a
Council
;
either
fearing
their
party
in
Council
would
prove
the
weakest
,
or
knowing
their
partakers
in
Action
would
be
the
strongest
;
for
most
of
the
States
and
Governours
of
Provinces
had
tasted
of
this
infected
Cup.
And
Barnevelt
(
the
Head
of
them
)
being
an
active
person
,
and
having
a
nimble
tongue
,
distilling
into
them
a
Iealousie
,
that
Maurice
Prince
of
Orange
(
who
had
the
command
of
all
their
Garrisons
,
as
General
or
their
Army
)
affected
to
make
himself
(
by
his
power
)
sole
Lord
and
Monarch
over
them
;
that
the
Freedom
which
they
had
purchased
with
their
bloods
,
was
now
ready
to
be
trampled
on
;
he
that
was
their
Servant
,
aspiring
to
become
their
Master
;
having
all
power
both
by
Sea
and
Land
,
in
his
own
hand
;
all
Governments
,
and
Offices
at
his
dispose
,
so
that
he
wanted
nothing
but
the
Title
to
make
him
absolute
.
These
sparks
took
fire
with
many
,
and
yet
they
could
not
well
see
by
that
light
,
because
Barnevelt
drew
these
pretences
as
a
Curtain
,
to
get
as
much
power
in
the
Militia
,
as
he
had
in
their
Councils
,
the
better
to
bring
his
ends
about
.
Whereupon
to
ballance
the
Prince
of
Orange's
power
,
new
Companies
are
levied
in
some
of
the
Provinces
secretly
,
specially
in
Utrecht
,
meaning
to
make
that
the
Stage
to
act
their
bloody
parts
on
:
Which
Town
being
much
corrupted
with
the
Leaven
of
bad
Doctrine
,
they
soon
closed
with
the
corruption
of
as
bad
manners
.
The
Prince
of
Orange
goes
to
Utrecht
.
The
Prince
of
Orange
,
and
some
others
affected
to
him
,
did
cut
out
their
time
to
the
length
of
the
others
endeavours
,
proportioning
their
Prevention
suitable
to
the
others
Action
,
so
the
advance
of
the
one
party
ran
upon
the
same
Parallel
with
the
other
,
being
ready
to
tread
on
their
heels
for
hast
.
And
now
the
time
being
ripe
,
25
Iuly
.
The
Prince
goes
to
Utrecht
,
accompanied
with
some
of
the
States
his
intimates
,
Count
Ernest
of
Nassau
,
and
some
other
Commanders
of
the
Army
,
to
seise
upon
,
or
disband
those
new
raised
Forces
;
in
which
he
was
opposed
by
Leydenburgh
and
other
States
of
the
Town
,
who
incited
the
Governour
,
Sir
Iohn
Ogle
,
our
Countryman
,
to
deny
the
Prince
entrance
;
but
he
was
too
much
a
friend
to
the
Honor
of
his
Name
and
Nation
,
to
falsifie
his
trust
.
So
that
the
Prince
encountred
only
with
those
,
whose
unwillingness
had
power
enough
if
they
had
had
hearts
to
oppose
him
.
But
he
finding
it
would
be
an
ill
Precedent
to
the
rest
of
the
Towns
to
meet
a
Repulse
here
,
had
ordered
five
Hundred
foot
from
Arnham
and
the
next
Garrisons
,
to
meet
him
there
,
who
entred
the
Town
that
evening
peaceably
,
and
the
next
morning
about
four
a
clock
disbanded
the
new
levied
Companies
,
before
the
Towns-men
were
well
awake
.
IOHAN
VAN
OLDENBARNEVELD
Binnen
s'Gravenhage
Onthalst
Den
13.
May
1619.
This
giving
some
stop
to
the
carreir
of
the
Remonstrants
in
Utrecht
,
the
rest
of
the
Towns
took
up
,
though
they
had
run
long
uncurbed
.
And
now
the
Prince
and
State
thought
of
nothing
more
than
of
composing
the
Disorders
of
the
Church
,
by
a
National
Council
,
which
Barnevelt
and
his
Faction
opposing
,
they
resolved
to
take
away
those
impediments
that
hindered
the
Peace
and
Tranquility
of
the
Provinces
.
So
that
on
the
19th
of
August
,
the
prime
Ring-leaders
of
the
Sedition
,
Barnevelt
,
Hogenberts
,
and
Grotius
,
were
seised
on
at
the
Hague
,
as
they
were
entring
the
Senate
,
and
committed
to
several
Prisons
.
This
cast
a
general
damp
upon
the
spirits
of
the
Remonstrants
,
as
if
they
had
been
crushed
in
the
head
.
And
some
few
days
after
Leydenburgh
was
sent
from
Utrecht
with
a
strong
Guard
.
These
being
the
four
chief
Pillars
whereupon
this
confused
Building
stood
,
they
being
taken
away
,
it
fell
to
the
ground
.
Leydenburgh
to
prevent
their
mercy
stabbed
himself
in
Prison
with
a
knife
,
that
opened
a
passage
to
let
out
his
life
.
Hogenberts
,
and
Grotius
,
found
something
of
mercy
by
waiting
for
it
,
but
they
were
condemned
to
perpetual
Imprisonment
in
the
Castle
of
Lovestien
.
And
the
latter
of
them
(
Grotius
)
after
some
time
of
Imprisonment
made
an
escape
in
a
Trunk
,
which
his
Wife
pretended
to
the
Soldiers
of
the
Castle
,
to
be
full
of
Arminian
Books
,
which
she
would
send
away
,
because
they
should
not
trouble
her
Husband's
head
.
But
the
Capital
Offender
,
Barnevelt
,
was
Beheaded
at
the
Hague
the
fourteenth
of
May
following
,
being
1619.
His
Sentence
of
death
was
this
,
Barnevelt's
Sentence
and
death
.
That
for
so
much
he
had
endeavoured
to
disturb
the
Peace
of
the
Land
,
and
had
opposed
himself
against
the
wholsom
advice
of
divers
Princes
,
Lords
,
and
excellent
Persons
,
aswel
without
as
within
the
Land
,
and
that
he
had
injured
some
of
their
mightiest
Allies
by
his
secret
practices
(
namely
,
by
calumniating
the
King
of
Great
Britain
,
as
though
he
had
been
the
Author
of
these
troubles
in
the
Low-Countries
.
)
For
that
he
had
kindled
the
fire
of
Dissention
in
the
Provinces
;
had
raised
Souldiers
in
the
Diocess
of
Utrecht
;
had
disreputed
his
Excellency
as
much
as
lay
in
his
power
;
had
revealed
the
secrets
of
the
Council
;
and
had
received
Presents
and
Gifts
from
Foreign
Princes
:
Finally
,
for
that
by
his
Machinations
and
Plots
,
new
States
have
been
erected
in
the
State
,
new
Governments
against
the
Government
,
and
new
Unions
and
Alliances
against
the
ancient
Union
,
to
the
general
perturbation
as
well
of
Policy
,
as
of
Religion
,
to
the
exhausting
of
the
Treasures
of
the
Land
,
to
the
jealousie
and
dislike
,
not
only
of
the
Confederates
,
but
of
the
Natives
of
the
Country
,
who
by
this
means
were
brought
into
danger
,
that
they
were
like
to
fall
into
final
ruine
.
He
was
born
in
Amersford
,
His
Imployments
.
descended
from
the
Antient
Family
of
Olden
Bernevelt
;
in
his
Fortune
a
private
Gentleman
,
but
by
his
Industry
,
Travels
,
and
Studies
at
home
and
abroad
,
he
made
himself
capable
of
managing
the
highest
affairs
,
which
he
did
almost
for
forty
years
together
.
He
was
five
times
Extraordinary
Ambassador
into
England
and
France
;
had
been
in
the
Field
with
the
Princes
of
Orange
,
and
the
Army
,
as
one
of
the
States
,
thirty
two
several
Leaguers
;
nothing
was
acted
without
his
Advice
:
Indeed
he
was
the
Tongue
and
Genius
of
the
State
.
But
whether
Ambition
(
now
in
his
old
Age
)
mounted
him
to
grapple
with
the
Prince
for
power
,
or
whether
that
wild
and
frantick
fancy
,
that
men
often
brand
their
spirits
with
,
and
call
it
Conscience
(
but
is
nothing
but
pertinacy
in
opinion
)
impt
the
wings
of
his
Affections
,
we
cannot
discover
,
being
only
the
secret
Companions
of
his
own
Breast
,
and
let
them
dye
with
him
.
But
thus
he
ended
,
in
the
seventy
first
year
of
his
Age.
He
lived
to
see
(
that
which
he
had
so
much
opposed
)
a
National
Synod
held
at
Dort
,
A
Synod
at
Dort
.
whither
our
King
sent
Doctor
George
Carlton
,
Bishop
of
Landaff
,
Doctor
Ioseph
Hall
,
Dean
of
Worcester
;
Doctor
Iohn
Davenant
,
Professor
Regius
in
Cambridge
,
and
Master
of
Queens
College
;
and
Doctor
Samuel
Ward
,
Regent
of
Sidney
College
in
Cambridge
;
Divines
of
great
Reputation
,
sound
Learning
,
and
well-grounded
Faith
.
Where
they
met
with
divers
Divines
from
Switzerland
and
Germany
,
besides
the
Natives
of
the
Netherlands
;
who
altogether
in
a
full
Synod
,
quashed
,
as
much
as
in
them
lay
,
the
Arminian
Opinions
;
and
though
they
could
not
utterly
extirpate
the
roots
of
the
Heresie
,
yet
they
laid
them
so
low
,
that
they
never
broke
out
there
since
into
exuberant
branches
;
though
some
of
the
Fibrae
,
the
small
veins
left
behind
,
much
tainted
our
Nation
,
as
shall
be
expressed
hereafter
.
A
blazing

And
now

declare
the
Glory
of

A

blazing
Comet

it

,
the
18th
of

year
,
and
vanished
away
on
Wednesday
the
16th
of

following
,
making
,
in
28
days
motion
,
its
Circumgiration
over

extending
its
radiant

These
Apparitions
do
always
portend
some
horrid
Events
here
below
,
and
are
Messengers
of
mischief
to
poor
Mortals
:
The
Divine
Wisdom
pointing
to
us
what
we
should
do
,
to
prevent
these
threatned
dangers
,
that
we
may
have
our
lives
for
a
prey
.
It
appears
first
in
Libra

the
Emblem
of
Iustice
,
and
streams
over
the
Virgin

(

saith

We
must
by
this
Admonition
from
Heaven
,
learn
to
do
justly
;
and
it
is
for
injustice
that
these
sad
Omens
threaten
us
.
What
miserable
Effects
of
War
,
Ruine
,
and
Devastation
,
in
most
parts
of
the
known
World
,
followed
at

is
obvious
to
all
;
and
so
far
as
relates
to
us
,
may
be
declared
(
God
willing
)
in
the
Progress
of
this
History
:
but
I
hope
the
operation
and
power
of
it
is
almost
at
an
end

for
it

took

let
's

it
almost
past
,
For
War
,
like

,
doth
not

.
The
first
remarkable
Accident
that
happened
in
England
after
this
Prodigious
Forerunner
,
The
death
of
Queen
Anne
.
was
the
death
of
Queen
Anne
,
who
died
of
a
Dropsie
at
Hampton-Court
,
and
thence
brought
to
her
Palace
in
the
Strand
,
for
the
more
triumphant
glory
of
her
Obsequies
.
The
Common
People
,
who
naturally
admire
their
Princes
,
placing
them
in
a
Region
above
ordinary
Mortals
,
thought
this
great
Light
in
Heaven
was
sent
as
a
Flambeau
to
her
Funeral
;
their
dark
minds
not
discovering
,
while
this
Blaze
was
burning
the
fire
of
War
that
broke
out
in
Bohemia
,
wherein
many
thousands
perished
.
She
was
in
her
great
Condition
a
good
Woman
,
not
tempted
from
that
height
she
stood
on
,
A
short
Character
of
the
Queen
.
to
embroyl
her
spirit
much
with
things
below
her
(
as
some
busy-bodies
do
)
only
giving
her self
content
in
her
own
House
,
with
such
Recreations
as
might
not
make
Time
tedious
to
her
:
And
though
great
Persons
Actions
are
often
pried
into
,
and
made
Envies
mark
,
yet
nothing
could
be
fixt
upon
her
,
that
left
any
great
impression
,
but
that
she
may
have
engraven
upon
her
Monument
a
Character
of
Virtue
.

Henry

upon

he
was

following
that
blazing
Fore-runner
;
the
House
of
Austria
(
like
Pyrrhus
and
Lysander
,
extending
their
Dominions
no
further
than
the
Sword
could
reach
)
having
long
feathered
their
Nests
with
the
Eagles
plumes
,
grew
formidable
to
the
Princes
and
States
of
Germany
.
And
because
they
found
the
Popes
had
shrewdly
plumed
some
of
their
Predecessors
,
till
they
had
wrested
most
parts
of
Italy
from
the
Empire
,
they
were
content
to
maintain
their
Grandure
by
the
Popes
power
,
and
to
ingratiate
themselves
the
more
,
became
great
Persecutors
of
the
Reformed
Religion
.
A
little
before
this
time
Ferdinand
(
Uncles
Son
to
Matthias
the
Emperor
)
was
Crowned
King
of
Bohemia
,
Anno
1617.
with
this
Reservation
,
that
he
should
not
exercise
the
Power
of
a
King
,
as
long
as
the
old
Emperor
lived
.
This
kind
of
Crowning
of
Kings
(
one
in
the
life
of
another
)
was
the
great
Chain
,
that
(
link
by
link
)
held
the
Empire
,
and
the
two
Kingdoms
of
Hungaria
and
Bohemia
together
in
the
Austrian
Family
;
so
that
the
State
of
either
Kingdom
could
not
,
or
durst
not
,
put
forth
their
Strength
to
shake
them
asunder
.
The
Emperor
kept
his
Court
at
Vienna
,
King
Ferdinand
at
Gretz
in
Stiria
;
so
that
the
Government
of
Bohemia
rested
in
such
Counsellors
as
the
Emperor
Matthias
left
there
for
the
management
of
Publick
Affairs
.
These
Counsellors
,
and
Ministers
,
with
the
Archbishop
of
Prague
broke
out
about
this
time
,
not
only
to
demolish
the
Protestant
Churches
,
but
by
the
help
of
the
Iesuits
(
their
bitter
Enemies
)
strove
to
undermine
the
Religion
it self
.
The
Protestant
States
,
and
Nobles
of
the
Country
,
summoning
an
Assembly
,
to
redress
their
Grievances
,
were
opposed
by
some
of
them
Emperor's
Ministers
of
State
,
the
very
day
of
their
meeting
;
which
exasperated
them
to
such
a
height
of
Passion
,
(
being
backt
by
some
Forces
they
brought
with
them
for
their
Security
)
that
they
threw
Slabata
the
Emperor's
chief
Justice
,
Smesansius
,
one
of
the
Council
of
State
,
and
Fabricius
,
a
pragmatical
,
Secretary
,
from
a
high
Window
in
the
Castle
,
down
into
the
Court
,
though
some
of
them
took
little
hurt
,
and
lived
(
as
reports
go
)
to
this
time
.
This
rash
Action
the
Bohemians
strive
to
palliate
by
Apologies
to
the
Emperor
,
but
withal
strengthned
themselves
,
making
Leavies
both
of
Horse
,
and
Foot
,
the
better
to
secure
their
own
Peace
,
and
banishing
those
Firebrands
the
Iesuits
out
of
Prague
,
whose
malicious
and
distemper'd
Zeal
first
kindled
the
Flame
.
The
Emperor
hearing
of
these
mischiefs
,
raises
an
Army
under
the
command
of
Count
Bucquoy
,
and
the
Protestant
States
finding
the
Emperor
exasperated
,
raise
two
Armies
,
one
commanded
by
Count
Thurne
,
the
other
by
Count
Mansfeldt
:
some
bickrings
past
betwixt
the
Imperial
Army
and
the
Bohemians
,
some
Towns
taken
on
both
sides
;
and
in
the
heat
of
this
stir
the
old
Emperor
dies
.
Ferdinand
King
of
Hungary
,
and
Bohemia
,
and
adopted
heir
of
old
Matthias
,
meeting
(
after
summons
)
at
Frankford
,
with
the
three
Electors
of
Mentz
,
Collen
,
and
Trevers
,
and
only
with
the
Representatives
of
the
other
three
Electors
;
The
Church
carried
it
for
him
,
18
Aug.
and
he
was
chosen
King
of
the
Romans
.
The
States
of
Bohemia
disclaimed
the
election
,
as
invalid
,
because
he
could
not
be
an
Elector
himself
as
King
of
Bohemia
;
for
that
he
had
never
been
actually
in
possession
of
the
Crown
.
And
though
their
dissent
could
not
lessen
Ferdinand's
Election
to
the
Empire
,
yet
they
protested
by
oath
never
to
acknowledge
him
for
their
King
.
These
eruptions
made
a
noise
all
over
Christendom
,
and
most
knowing
men
looked
on
this
heavenly
Torch
,
the
late
Comet
,
as
fit
fuel
to
give
fire
to
such
a
train
.
Our
King
fearing
the
clap
would
fall
heavy
upon
the
Protestant
party
,
Doncaster
Ambassador
.
sent
the
Viscount
Doncaster
,
extraordinary
Ambassador
,
to
mediate
a
Reconciliation
betwixt
the
Emperor
,
and
the
Bohemians
.
But
the
asperity
and
bitterness
was
too
great
to
find
an
allay
by
his
sweet
and
candid
Complements
,
being
sitter
for
the
bosoms
of
Lovers
,
than
the
armed
breasts
of
Uprores
and
Tumults

Our
King
that
looked
upon
his

through
the
Optique
of
the
peoples
mutable
and
unstable
affection
,
would
by
no
means
countenance
such
a
Precedent
as
should
give
them
power
to
dispose
of
an
established
Royal
dignity
,
at
their
pleasure
,
and
upon
every
change
of
humor
;
for
so
he
might
shake
his
own
foundation
,
which
made
the
Barons
addresses
crude
and
nauseous
to
his
Appetite
,
till
time
had
a
little
digested
them
.
And
then
he
dispatched
two
Ambassadors
into
Bohemia
.
Weston
and
Conwey
sent
Amb.
into
Bohemia
.
One
was
Sir
Richard
Weston
,
who
was
afterwards
Lord
high
Treasurer
of
England
,
and
left
to
his
posterity
the
Earldom
of
Portland
,
a
man
of
a
haughty
spirit
,
yet
knew
how
by
suppling
it
,
to
make
his
way
to
the
height
he
arrived
at
:
For
his
Religion
gave
place
to
his
Policy
,
and
mounted
him
till
he
became
one
of
the
great
grievances
of
the
Kingdom
.
The
other
was
Sir
Edward
Conwey
,
a
man
of
a
grosser
temper
;
bred
a
Soldier
,
being
Governor
of
Bril
when
England
gave
over
her
interest
in
the
cautionary
Towns
,
who
was
after
made
a
Viscount
,
and
Secretary
of
State
,
a
rough
impollished
peice
for
such
an
imployment
.
But
the
King
that
wanted
not
his
Abilities
would
often
make
himself
merry
with
his
imperfect
scrouls
in
writing
,
and
hacking
expressions
in
reading
,
so
that
he
would
break
into
laughter
,
and
say
in
a
facetious
way
,
Had
ever
man
such
a
Secretary
,
that
can
neither
Write
nor
Read
?
These
two
were
suited
for
the
imployment
,
happily
upon
design
;
Weston
being
a
kind
of
Papist
,
and
Conwey
a
Protestant
,
the
better
to
close
up
the
breach
between
the
Emperor
,
and
the
King
of
Bohemia
,
But
Ferdinand
being
startled
with
the
flaring
Glory
of
this
new

to
cast
a
damp
upon
it

While
they
were
thus
grappling
in
Bohemia
,
Preparations
for
War
.
the
Marquess
Spinola
was
forming
an
Army
in
Flanders
,
and
the
Protestant
Princes
of
Germany
,
Consederates
to
the
Palatine
(
calling
themselves
the
Princes
of
the
Union
)
raised
Forces
for
the
defence
of
the
Palatinate
,
and
their
own
Interest
,
under
the
Command
of
the
Marquess
of
Ansbach
.
But
our
King
made
no
Preparations
,
yet
he
sent
to
his
Ambassador
at
Bruxels
,
commanding
him
to
enquire
for
what
purpose
Spinola's
Army
was
called
together
,
the
Truce
continuing
betwixt
Spain
and
the
Low-Countries
;
but
the
Ambassador
could
receive
little
satisfaction
,
the
Spanish
subtilty
having
sealed
up
Spinola's
Commission
,
which
he
was
not
to
open
till
the
Army
were
ready
to
march
.
But
men
of
ordinary
understanding
might
apprehend
,
that
an
Army
of
six
and
twenty
thousand
Foot
,
and
four
thousand
Horse
,
with
all
Military
Provisions
,
were
not
to
lye
still
;
and
though
our
King
had
divers
Arguments
presented
to
him
,
that
did
assure
him
that
Army
was
intended
for
the
Palatinate
,
yet
would
not
his
Spirit
be
set
on
work
to
preserve
his
Childrens
Patrimony
;
So
odious
was
the
name
of
War
to
him
!
But
at
length
,
with
much
ado
,
one
Regiment
of
Foot
(
to
joyn
with
the
Princes
of
the
Union
,
and
make
a
little
noise
and
bustle
)
was
extorted
from
him
by
importunities
.
This
Regiment
was
the
gallantest
for
the
Persons
,
and
outward
presence
of
men
,
that
in
many
Ages
(
I
think
)
hath
appeared
either
at
home
or
abroad
:
It
consisted
of
two
and
twenty
hundred
compleat
;
the
chief
Commander
Sir
Horatio
Vere
(
who
was
after
Baron
of
Tilbery
)
a
Person
bred
up
in
the
School
of
War
,
and
a
known
Master
in
the
Art
of
Victory
.
He
was
accompanied
with
the
Earls
of
Oxford
and
Essex
,
young
and
daring
Spirits
,
whose
honour
not
only
descended
from
a
long
Series
of
Noble
Progenitors
,
but
they
made
it
their
own
.
And
out
of
respect
to
them
,
as
well
as
love
to
the
Service
,
this
Regiment
was
almost
furnished
with
Gentlemen
,
who
went
to
make
themselves
capable
of
better
imployment
;
the
English
for
many
years
having
been
truants
in
that
Art
.
The
two
Earls
had
two
hundred
and
fifty
men
apiece
piece
in
each
Company
;
and
so
many
flocked
to
Essex
out
of
love
(
and
he
loth
to
put
them
off
)
that
he
carried
300
men
into
the
Palatinate
,
An.
Christi
.
1620.
paying
fifty
of
them
with
his
own
Money
.
The
King
being
drawn
to
consent
,
that
two
Regiments
more
should
follow
for
these
two
Noblemen
,
which
gave
the
more
encouragement
to
this
petty
Enterprize
.
The
march
of
the
English
into
the
Palatinate
.
The
English
followed
Spinola
,
but
at
a
distance
;
for
he
being
nearer
to
the
Palatinate
,
got
much
the
start
of
them
,
though
they
went
out
of
England
before
he
presented
the
Arch-Dukes
with
the
civilities
of
his
Departure
,
which
was
upon
the
eighth
of
August
.
And
upon
the
last
of
the
same
month
,
by
the
Assistance
of
Maurice
Prince
of
Orange
,
and
the
benefit
of
a
Bridge
of
boats
a
little
below
Weasel
,
they
past
the
Rhine
under
the
Conduct
of
Prince
Henry
of
Nassau
,
who
with
two
thousand
Horse
,
and
four
hundred
Musqueteers
,
taken
out
of
Gulick
and
the
adjacent
Garrisons
,
cleared
the
Countrey
before
them
,
marching
through
Gulickland
,
and
the
barren
Mountains
of
Collenland
,
till
they
came
near
to
Coblentz
,
which
Town
stands
upon
the
Center
of
two
Rivers
,
the
Rhine
,
and
Mosell
.
Giving
out
in
the
march
,
as
if
the
Army
intended
to
pass
the
Mosell
;
but
the
Prince
(
to
divert
the
Enemies
intelligence
)
upon
the
sixteenth
of
September
drew
two
miles
back
from
Coblentz
,
and
past
the
Rhine
in
Punts
,
a
kind
of
Liter
,
advancing
forward
on
the
other
side
of
the
River
three
English
miles
that
night
,
to
a
Village
called
Hembach
,
where
the
Foot
stayed
till
the
Horse
past
the
River
.
And
this
sudden
change
of
resolution
was
one
of
Prince
Henry's
Master-pieces
;
for
he
knew
from
Collen
,
Spinola
would
have
intelligence
by
Curriers
,
which
way
the
bent
of
their
march
tended
;
and
they
had
the
Mosell
in
their
eye
all
the
way
,
but
the
Rhine
in
intention
.
In
the
Halt
before
Coblentz
,
one
bullet
among
others
from
the
Town
,
past
between
General
Vere
,
and
the
Earl
of
Essex
standing
together
,
and
hit
a
Gentleman
,
called
Flood
,
on
the
elbow
:
The
cause
of
shooting
from
thence
(
as
was
conceived
)
proceeded
from
a
Skirmish
the
night
before
,
that
happened
betwixt
some
English
,
and
the
Country
People
of
an
adjoyning
Village
on
the
Mosell
;
for
Captain
Fairfax
being
sent
with
a
Squadron
to
them
,
in
a
peaceable
manner
,
to
desire
the
accommodation
of
bread
and
wine
for
Money
,
the
Bores
shot
at
him
,
and
hurt
some
of
his
men
,
but
he
stoutly
advancing
to
them
,
they
took
their
Boats
,
and
hasted
down
to
Coblentz
.
Some
of
the
Bores
were
reported
to
be
slain
,
for
which
Fairfax
,
upon
the
Prince's
complaint
,
was
committed
,
to
give
the
Country
satisfaction
,
but
the
next
day
released
.

of

Prince
Henry
with
his

,
and
General
Vere
with
the
Foot
,
past
the
River
Main
,
at
a
Ford
not
far
from
Frankford
,
the
Foot
for
the
most
part
marching
up
to
the
middle
through
the
stream
,
and
that
night
they
stood
in
Arms
,
having
two
Alarums
of
Spinola's
approach
,
not
hearing
yet
he
was
retired
.
The
next
day
they
had
a
long
march
to
recover
Darmstat
,
one
half
of
which
Town
belongs
to
the
King
of
Bohemia
,
the
other
part
to
the
Landsgrave
of
Hessen
.
There
Prince
Henry
and
the
Dutch
Companies
left
the
English
,
and
returned
into
the
Netherlands
again
,
and
fifteen
hundred
German
Horse
,
commanded
by
Colonel
Megan
,
met
them
,
by
order
from
the
Princes
of
the
Union
.
The
27
of
September
they
came
to
Beinsheim
,
being
the
first
intire
Town
in
the
Palatinate
they
arrived
at
;
and
upon
the
first
of
October
past
over
the
Rhine
by
Worms
,
upon
a
Bridge
of
Boats
,
and
that
day
were
met
by
the
Marquess
of
Ansbach
,
and
some
others
of
the
Princes
of
the
Union
,
who
stayed
to
see
them
march
by
,
wondering
at
the
gallantry
of
such
Foot
,
who
were
with
them
the
meanest
of
the
people
.
After
two
days
rest
,
The
English
joyn
with
the
Princes
.
the
Princes
with
part
of
their
Army
,
being
4000
Horse
,
and
6000
Foot
,
joyned
with
the
English
,
and
together
marched
towards
Altzi
(
a
Town
in
the
Palatinate
that
the
Enemy
had
taken
in
)
which
they
intended
to
surprize
.
But
hearing
by
their
Scouts
that
the
Enemy
had
quitted
the
Town
as
not
tenable
,
and
that
Spinola
with
his
whole
Army
was
marching
towards
them
,
they
faced
about
to
make
his
way
the
shorter
,
and
within
three
hours
their
Scouts
and
the
Enemies
were
in
Skirmish
,
but
the
German
Princes
,
not
having
their
whole
Army
,
were
not
forward
to
engage
.
Spinola
seeing
them
march
towards
him
(
being
as
weary
as
they
)
took
the
advantage
of
a
Hill
,
and
forced
their
Horse
with
his
Cannon
to
retreat
;
but
the
Princes
drew
their
Cannon
up
another
Hill
on
the
right
hand
of
the
Enemy
,
there
being
a
large
bottom
,
and
a
hill
of
Vineyards
betwixt
the
two
Armies
,
which
were
not
visible
but
from
thence
,
for
the
one
Hill
drowned
the
other
to
them
in
the
bottom
.
As
soon
as
they
saw
how
the
Enemy
strove
to
secure
himself
,
and
that
he
was
loth
to
come
on
,
they
judged
their
strength
not
to
be
great
,
and
therefore
took
a
resolution
to
set
upon
them
.
The
Dutch
in
curtesie
yielded
the
Vanguard
to
the
English
,
which
before
they
stood
upon
,
as
a
Punctilio
of
honor
.
The
English
General
drew
out
of
every
Division
fourscore
Musqueteers
to
give
the
On-set
,
who
were
incouraged
by
that
Reverend
Divine
Doctor
Burges
(
of
whom
mention
is
formerly
made
)
who
accompanied
the
General
from
England
,
and
was
an
instrument
of
much
good
to
that
Regiment
;
though
they
needed
no
incouragement
at
that
time
,
being
spirits
willingly
prepared
for
such
enterprises
.

The

Quarters
again
,
Spinola
and
the

hunt
one
another
.
where
the
Soldiers
found
the
Country
Roots
,
Fruits
,
and
Wine
in
the
Must
,
no
good
preservatives
:
But
after
they
had
stayed
by
it
seven
or
eight
days
,
Spinola
led
them
a
dance
for
digestion
,
pretending
for
Keisars
Luther
,
a
Town
in
the
borders
of
the
Palatinate
,
which
made
the
Princes
advance
their
whole
body
to
attend
him
,
but
as
they
drew
near
he
retreated
,
so
that
they
sported
with
one
another
,
as
children
at
Seek
and
Find
,
though
neither
of
their
Armies
could
be
much
pleased
with
the
sharp
frosty
nights
,
those
desolate
and
naked
Hills
exposed
them
to
;
upon
the
top
of
one
of
them
,
the
English
Commanders
one
night
burnt
a
great
many
of
their
Wagons
to
warm
them
,
the
Frost
was
so
violent
,
and
the
Soldiers
lay
in
heaps
upon
the
ground
close
together
like
sheep
cover'd
as
it
were
with
a
sheet
of
snow
.
Yet
they
spent
the
time
thus
till
their
Stoves
summon'd
them
to
warmer
lodging
.
And
the
English
Regiment
was
disposed
into
three
principal
Garrisons
:
General
Vere
commanded
in
Manheim
,
Sir
Gerard
Herbert
in
Heidelburgh
,
and
Serjeant-Major
Burrows
in
Frankindale
,
imprisoning
themselves
in
Walls
,
while
the
Enemy
romed
round
about
them
,
and
they
had
only
power
to
preserve
themselves
;
For
the
Princes
of
the
Unions
Forces
were
garrison'd
in
their
several
Countries
.
I
have
the
more
particularly
described
this
Expedition
,
because
I
was
an
eye-witness
of
what
passed
;
and
if
we
had
not
had
an
allay
of
Dutch
dulness
,
the
Spaniard
could
not
have
carved
to
himself
so
great
a
share
in
that
Country
,
and
their
opposers
had
not
mouldred
away
their
Forces
as
they
did
afterwards
,
which
makes
this
Relation
harsh
and
unpleasing
.
But
there
was
a
Divine
Fate
attended
not
only
this
Country
,
A
sad
Fate
upon
Germany
.
but
all
Germany
;
For
the
Almighty
Wisdom
that
is
the
Author
of
all
Revolutions
in
the
World
,
hath
his
set
times
for
changes
,
which
often
tends
to
the
imbettering
of
it
.
For
all
the
Northern
Conquests
of
the
Goths
,
Huns
,
Vandals
,
Scyths
,
and
other
ba●barous
Nations
,
were
to
corroborate
the
Southern
bodies
wasted
with
Ease
and
Luxury
.
And
now
in
Germany
a
flood
of
Books
,
that
almost
tended
to
an
inundation
,
overspread
the
World
,
and
was
her
great
disease
:
Besides
the
drunken
Dropsie
,
witness
their
monstrous
swelling
tuns
,
and
vessel
.
In
lieu
of
books
,
War
brings
in
barbarism
▪
which
is
the
first-born
before
Plague
,
or
Famine
.
These
do
not
always
kill
,
but
rectifie
.
Full
bodies
are
apt
to
fall
sick
,
and
then
they
must
be
drawn
very
low
often-times
,
before
they
come
to
perfect
health
.
These
Iudgments
have
faln
heavy
upon
England
,
we
drink
the
dregs
of
the
Cup
;
one
sin
is
not
to
be
pointed
at
,
but
all
;
and
though
it
hath
been
bitter
to
the
taste
,
yet
He
that
knows
the
nature
of
the
Ingredients
may
make
it
wholsom
unto
those
that
love
him
.
A
sad
story
of
Mr.
Duncomb
.
One
thing
both
pitiful
and
remarkable
,
that
hapned
in
the
Palatinate
,
was
almost
omitted
.
There
was
a
Gentleman
whose
name
was
Duncomb
,
that
was
a
Soldier
in
the
Earl
of
Oxford's
company
.
This
young
man
left
a
Gentlewoman
behind
him
in
England
,
to
whom
he
had
vowed
his
heart
,
and
promise
of
marriage
;
but
her
fortune
being
not
fit
for
his
Father's
humor
,
he
threatned
to
dis-inherit
him
,
if
he
married
her
:
and
the
better
to
alienate
him
from
her
,
he
sent
him
so
long
a
journey
,
hoping
time
and
absence
might
wear
out
those
impressions
,
that
the
present
fancy
had
fixed
upon
him
,
charging
him
at
his
departure
,
never
to
think
of
her
more
,
lest
with
the
thoughts
of
her
he
lost
him
for
ever
.
The
young
man
being
now
long
absent
from
her
,
and
having
his
heart
full
with
the
remembrance
of
her
,
could
not
contain
himself
,
but
let
her
know
,
that
no
threats
or
anger
of
Parents
,
should
ever
blot
her
memory
out
of
his
thoughts
,
which
was
illustrated
with
many
expressions
of
love
and
affection
.
But
the
careless
man
writing
at
the
same
time
to
his
Father
,
superscribed
his
Father's
Letter
to
his
Mistris
,
wherein
he
renounces
her
;
and
his
Mistresses
Letter
to
his
Father
,
wherein
he
admires
her
.
The
Father
swoln
with
rage
and
anger
against
the
Son
,
sent
him
a
bitter
Letter
back
again
full
of
menaces
;
and
whether
that
,
or
shame
for
the
mistake
,
that
she
should
see
he
renounced
her
whom
he
profest
to
love
,
did
overcome
his
Reason
,
is
not
known
;
but
he
killed
himself
,
to
the
great
grief
of
all
the
English
there
.
And
by
this
example
Parents
that
are
too
rigid
to
their
children
,
may
see
what
Murderers
they
are
:
For
it
was
not
the
young
man's
hand
,
but
the
old
man's
hard
heart
that
killed
him
.

CXCII
This
was
a
fair
Spring-time
(
the
Battail
being
fought
upon
the
tenth
of
March
)
and
might
have
inhanced
the
hopes
of
a
good
Autumn
:
Bad
success
in
Bohemia
.
But
in
November
following
(
when
the
Princes
of
the
Union
,
and
Spinola
,
were
hunting
one
another
among
the
frosty
Hills
in
the
Palatinate
)
the
Duke
of
Bavaria
coming
with
a
great
Army
towards
Prague
,
and
joyning
Bucquoy
and
Tillie
,
with
all
their
Forces
together
,
like
cruel
Hunters
,
meant
either
to
catch
a
Prey
,
or
be
a
Prey
.
Anhalt
then
had
not
so
closed
with
Count
Mansfeldt
,
as
to
bring
him
up
to
him
(
being
pufft
up
with
his
last
Victory
)
and
some
of
his
Soldiers
being
discontented
for
want
of
Pay
,
it
abated
the
edge
of
their
Courage
;
yet
he
got
with
his
Army
betwixt
the
Imperialists
,
and
Prague
,
and
stood
upon
the
advantage
of
Ground
;
but
all
would
not
do
;
a
Hand
went
out
that
gave
a
Period
to
that
Royalty
:
for
the
Enemy
breaking
through
them
,
forced
his
way
,
and
put
the
Bohemians
into
such
confusion
,
that
happy
was
he
that
could
escape
with
his
life
.
The
Prince
of
Anhalt
,
and
his
Lieutenant
General
Holloc
,
were
the
first
that
fled
,
and
brought
the
news
of
the
defeat
to
the
King
at
Prague
,
who
(
with
his
Queen
astonished
with
the
danger
)
being
in
a
City
not
very
defensible
,
among
a
wavering
People
,
and
a
Conquering
Enemy
in
the
Field
,
took
time
by
the
fore-top
,
and
in
this
hurly burly
,
the
next
morning
,
being
the
9
of
Nov.
left
Prague
,
taking
with
them
their
most
portable
things
,
having
load
enough
within
them
:
But
the
Queen
,
the
more
Gallant
and
Royal
Spirit
,
carried
it
with
most
undauntedness
;
the
King
suffered
doubly
as
he
went
,
The
King
censu●ed
.
being
blamed
for
keeping
his
Soldiers
without
pay
,
having
such
a
masse
of
money
by
him
,
which
he
was
forced
to
leave
behind
to
his
Enemies
,
and
the
imputation
stuck
upon
him
;
but
flying
upon
the
Wings
of
common
Fame
,
I
shall
not
lure
it
into
this
Relation
as
a
known
Truth
.
But
by
a
sad
Accident
that
some
years
after
happened
to
this
unfortunate
King
,
The
loss
of
his
Son
.
it
was
obvious
that
he
left
not
all
behind
him
;
for
going
to
visit
the
Bankers
of
Amsterdam
,
where
his
Treasure
lay
brooding
,
and
passing
in
the
night
over
Harlem
mere
,
the
winds
and
darkness
in
a
conspiracy
,
made
a
cross
Hoigh
to
run
against
the
King's
,
and
bulged
it
in
the
Sea
:
but
before
it
sunk
,
the
King
and
others
got
to
the
Mastring
Vessel
,
and
saved
themselves
;
But
the
Prince
his
Son
(
being
of
a
pregnant
,
hopeful
puberty
)
with
too
severe
a
fate
,
was
left
to
the
broken
Boat
,
which
they
durst
not
approach
again
,
though
they
heard
his
cries
,
so
that
he
was
abandoned
to
be
tormented
to
death
,
which
was
more
grievous
than
death
it self
,
for
the
Waters
being
shallow
,
and
the
Hoigh
sinking
not
far
,
the
next
day
they
found
him
frozen
to
the
Mast
,
embracing
it
as
his
last
Refuge
,
his
Body
half
above
,
half
under
the
water
.
This
Story
,
melting
with
Pity
,
is
here
inserted
,
because
the
glory
of
this
King
expires
.
The
King's
Character
.
And
since
there
will
be
occasion
to
mention
him
no
more
,
because
his
Actions
afterwards
never
mounted
up
one
Story
high
;
Take
this
brief
Character
of
him
.
He
was
a
comely
Personage
for
body
,
of
a
good
stature
,
his
complexion
of
a
duskish
melancholy
;
the
constitution
of
his
mind
rather
fitted
for
those
little
besoignes
of
Accounts
,
and
Reckonings
,
than
any
vigorous
,
or
masculine
heat
,
to
solder
up
the
crackt
Title
of
a
Crown
:
He
was
a
handsom
,
well-built
,
but
slight
Edifice
,
set
on
an
ill
Foundation
,
that
could
not
stand
long
.
The
King
of
great
Britain
(
that
the
Bohemians
built
upon
)
was
not
of
so
firm
a
temper
,
as
to
support
a
Fortress
(
weakly
made
)
that
must
endure
the
Rigorous
Shock
of
War
;
which
made
it
at
the
first
or
second
Assault
thus
totter
and
fall
.
Weston
and
Conwey
return
home
.
The
two
English
Ambassadors
,
Weston
and
Conwey
,
which
our
King
sent
to
mediate
for
the
Bohemians
,
could
make
little
use
of
their
Oratory
,
being
scattered
with
the
rest
in
the
Cloud
of
this
Confusion
:
But
they
brought
the
King
and
Queen
to
Limburgh
,
the
first
days
journey
,
and
after
they
were
gone
towards
the
Netherlands
,
the
Ambassadors
procured
a
safe
Conduct
from
the
Duke
of
Bavaria
to
return
to
Prague
;
But
there
they
could
find
no
words
so
prevalent
and
penetrable
,
as
the
steel
of
a
Conquering
Enemy
;
and
so
they
returned
home
,
re
infecta
,
no
wiser
than
they
went
out
.
The
Princes
of
the
Union

to
Ferdinand
.
This
Defeat
coming
to
the
Ears
of
the
Princes
of
the
Union
,
quailed
their
courage
,
made
them
look
back
into
their
own
condition
;
and
having
not
so
much
faith
as
to
depend
upon
our
King
for
assistance
,
before
the
Spring
they
submitted
themselves
to
the
Emperor
,
leaving
the
almost-ruined
Palatinate
as
a
Prey
to
an
insulting
Enemy
;
the
English
only
giving
Spirits
to
the
Vital
parts
of
it
,
conveyed
by
the
Conduct
of
those
Instruments
,
Vere
,
Herbert
,
and
Burrowes
;
Men
fitter
to
command
Armies
,
than
to
be
confined
within
the
Walls
of
Towns

that
was
rejected
and
slighted
by
Anhalt
makes
good
his
fidelity
,
by
bearing
up
against
the
power
of
the
Emperor
;
not
that
he
was
able
to
grapple
with
his
whole
Force
,
but
being
an
active
spritely
man
,
and
having
a
nimble
moving
Army
of
fourteen
or
fifteen
thousand
men
,
he
did
harasse
the
Countries
,
force
Contribution
from
the
Cities
,
and
when
any
greater
power
came
against
him
,
he
got
from
them
into
another
Country
,
and
harrowed
that
,
to
their
perpetual
vexation
:
So
that
he
was
as
goads
in
their
sides
,
and
thorns
in
their
eyes
.
And
thus
he
continued
in
despight
of
the
Emperor
,
and
the
Duke
of
Bavaria
,
for
almost
two
years
after
,
till
they
were
constrained
to
purchase
their
peace
of
him
at
a
dear
rate
;
to
which
Mansfeldt
was
also
inforced
,
not
finding
assistance
nor
Supplies
to
support
him
.
As
soon
as
the
Princes
in
the
Palatinate
were
retired
to
their
Quarters
,
Essex
solicits
our
King
for
more
Forces
.
before
the
great
loss
at
Prague
came
to
their
knowledge
,
the
Earl
of
Essex
with
a
Convoy
of
Horse
to
Swibruken
,
passed
into
Lorain
,
and
through
France
posted
for
England
,
to
solicit
the
King
to
send
those
Regiments
promised
,
and
other
Supplies
(
if
possible
)
that
the
English
there
,
and
the
whole
Countrey
,
might
not
be
exposed
to
ruine
.
But
when
he
came
into
England
,
he
found
the
Court
Air
of
another
temper
,
and
not
as
he
left
it
,
for
it
was
much
more
inclined
to
the
Spanish
Meridian
.
And
though
Gondemar
,
the
King
of
Spain's
Ambassador
,
at
the
departure
of
one
of
his
Agents
into
Spain
,
facetiously
bad
him
commend
him
to
the
Sun
,
for
he
had
seen
none
here
a
long
while
,
yet
we
had
the
Spanish
influence
hot
among
us
,
the
King
himself
warmed
with
it
;
then
what
will
not
the
Court
be
?
The
King
and
his
Ministers
of
State
had
several
ends
,
Obstructed
by
Gondemar
.
and
drive
different
designs
.
His
was
,
for
the
matching
of
his
Son
with
some
great
Princess
,
aiming
at
no
other
glory
,
though
he
debased
himself
to
purchase
it
.
For
presently
after
he
received
a
Denial
in
France
,
he
sent
to
Sir
Iohn
Digby
,
his
Leidger
Ambassador
in
Spain
,
to
treat
of
a
Marriage
betwixt
the
Prince
of
Wales
,
and
the
Infanta
Maria
,
Sister
to
that
King
,
which
was
in
1617.
No
blood
but
blood
Royal
can
be
a
propitiatory
Offering
for
his
Son
;
yet
the
best
Sacrifice
is
an
humble
spirit
.
No
matter
what
Religion
,
what
Piety
;
that
is
not
the
Question
.
When
Kings
have
earthly
aims
,
without
consideration
of
God
,
God
looks
to
his
own
Glory
,
without
respect
of
man
.
The
little
foundation
of
hope
they
built
upon
at
that
time
,
was
now
raised
to
a
formal
building
,
by
the
cunning
practices
of
Gondemar
,
who
assured
the
King
,
it
was
his
Master's
real
intention
the
Prince
should
marry
the
Infanta
.
And
he
wished
the
King
his
Master
had
all
the
Palatinate
in
his
power
,
to
present
it
as
a
donative
to
the
Prince
with
his
fair
Mistris
.
The
King
(
that
now
heard
all
was
lost
in
Bohemia
,
saw
little
possibility
of
injoying
the
Palatinate
quietly
,
but
by
the
Treaty
of
a
Marriage
)
was
lulled
asleep
with
Gondemar's
windy
promises
,
which
Sir
Iohn
Digby
seconded
,
being
lately
made
Vice-Chamberlain
to
the
King
,
Baron
of
Sherborn
,
and
a
great
manager
of
the
affairs
at
Court
.
Sir
Walter
Aston
being
sent
Leidger
Ambassador
into
Spain
,
for
the
general
correspondence
.
And
the
King
anchoring
his
hopes
upon
these
shallow
promises
,
made
himself
unable
to
prevent
the
Tempest
of
War
that
fell
on
the
Palatinate
,
tying
up
his
own
hands
,
and
suffering
none
to
quench
the
Fire
that
devoured
his
Childrens
Patrimony
.
WILLIAM
HERBERT
Earl
of
PEMBROKE
&c
It
was
thought
the
Papists
did
much
contribute
to
Gondemar's
liberali●y
;
Papists
flourish
.
for
they
began
to
flourish
in
the
Kingdom
,
he
having
procured
many
Immunities
for
them
,
and
they
used
all
their
industry
to
further
the
Match
,
hoping
that
if
the
Prince
did
not
adhere
to
Rome
,
yet
his
Offspring
might
;
and
at
present
looked
for
little
less
than
a
Toleration
.
No
stubborn
piece
of
either
Sex
stood
in
Gondemar's
way
,
Gondemar's
power
.
but
he
had
an
Engin
to
remove
them
,
or
screw
them
up
to
him
.
None
that
complied
with
him
but
found
the
effects
of
his
friendship
;
many
Iesuits
fared
the
better
for
his
intercession
,
he
releasing
numbers
,
among
the
rest
one
Bauldwin
,
an
arch-Priest
,
accused
to
have
had
a
hand
in
the
Gunpowder-Treason
,
and
had
been
seven
years
in
the
Tower
,
a
man
of
a
dangerous
and
mischievous
spirit
,
who
was
(
after
his
release
)
made
Rector
of
the
Iesuits
College
at
St.
Omers
.
By
his
Artifices
and
Negotiations
(
having
been
time
enough
Ambassador
in
England
to
gain
credit
with
the
King
)
he
got
Sir
Robert
Mansel
(
the
Vice-Admiral
)
to
go
into
the
Mediterranean
sea
,
with
a
Fleet
of
Ships
to
fight
against
the
Turks
at
Algier
,
who
were
grown
too
strong
and
formidable
for
the
Spaniard
(
most
of
the
King
of
Spain's
Gallions
attending
the
Indian
Trade
,
as
Convoys
for
his
Treasures
,
which
he
wanted
to
supply
his
Armies
)
and
he
transported
Ordnance
,
and
other
Warlike
Provisions
to
furnish
the
Spanish
Arsenals
,
even
while
the
Armies
of
Spain
were
battering
the
English
in
the
Palatinate
;
so
open
were
the
King's
ears
to
him
,
so
deaf
to
others
:
For
Sir
Robert
Nanton
,
one
of
his
Secretaries
(
a
Gentleman
of
known
honesty
and
integrity
)
shewed
but
a
little
dislike
of
those
proceedings
,
and
he
was
commanded
from
Court
,
and
Conwey
was
put
in
his
place
.
And
Gondemar
had
as
free
access
to
the
King
as
any
Courtier
of
them
all
(
Buckingham
excepted
)
and
the
King
took
delight
to
talk
with
him
;
for
he
was
full
of
Conceits
,
and
would
speak
false
Latin
a
purpose
in
his
merry
fits
to
please
the
King
;
telling
the
King
plainly
,
He
spoke
Latin
like
a
Pedant
;
but
I
speak
it
like
a
Gentleman
:
And
he
wrought
himself
so
by
subtilty
into
the
King's
good
affections
,
that
he
did
not
only
work
his
own
will
,
but
the
King
's
into
a
belief
that
the
Treaties
in
agitation
,
were
(
though
slow
)
real
and
effectual
.
So
easily
may
wise
men
be
drawn
to
those
things
their
desires
with
violence
tend
to
.
And
he
cast
out
his
Baits
not
only
for
men
;
but
if
he
found
an
Atalanta
,
whose
tongue
went
nimbler
than
her
feet
,
he
would
throw
out
his
golden
Balls
to
catch
them
also
.
And
in
these
times
there
were
some
Ladies
,
pretending
to
be
Wits
(
as
they
called
them
)
or
had
fair
Neices
,
Prevails
with
both
Sexes
.
or
Daughters
,
which
drew
great
Resort
to
their
houses
;
and
where
company
meet
,
the
discourse
is
commonly
of
the
times
(
for
every
man
will
vent
his
passion
)
these
Ladies
he
sweetned
with
Presents
,
that
they
might
allay
such
as
were
two
sower
in
their
expression
,
to
stop
them
in
the
course
,
if
they
ran
on
too
fast
,
and
bring
them
to
a
gentler
pace
.
He
lived
at
Ely-House
in
Holborn
,
his
passage
to
the
Court
was
ordinarily
through
Drury-lane
(
the
Covent-Garden
being
then
an
inclosed
field
)
and
that
Lane
and
the
Strand
were
the
places
where
most
of
the
Gentry
lived
,
and
the
Ladies
as
he
went
,
knowing
his
times
,
would
not
be
wanting
to
appear
in
their
Balconies
,
or
Windows
,
to
present
him
their
Civilities
,
and
he
would
watch
for
it
;
and
as
he
was
carried
in
his
Litter
or
bottomless
Chair
(
the
easiest
seat
for
his
Fistula
)
he
would
strain
himself
as
much
as
an
old
man
could
to
the
humblest
posture
of
Respect
.
One
day
passing
by
the
Lady
Iacob's
house
in
Drury-lane
,
she
exposing
her self
for
a
Salutation
,
he
was
not
wanting
to
her
,
but
she
moved
nothing
but
her
mouth
,
gaping
wide
open
upon
him
.
He
wondred
at
the
Ladie
's
incivility
,
but
thought
that
it
might
be
happily
a
yawning
fit
took
her
at
that
time
;
for
trial
whereof
,
the
next
day
he
finds
her
in
the
same
place
,
and
his
Courtesies
were
again
accosted
with
no
better
expressions
than
an
extended
mouth
.
Whereupon
he
sent
a
Gentleman
to
her
,
to
let
her
know
,
that
the
Ladies
of
England
were
more
gracious
to
him
,
than
to
incounter
his
Respects
with
such
Affronts
.
She
answered
,
it
was
true
that
he
had
purchased
some
of
their
favours
at
a
dear
rate
,
And
she
had
a
mouth
to
be
stopt
as
well
as
others
.
Gondemar
finding
the
cause
of
the
emotion
of
her
mouth
,
sent
her
a
Present
,
as
an
Antidote
,
which
cured
her
of
that
distemper
.
ELY

Drawing

The
Earl
of
Buckingham
,
Buckingham
rules
all
.
as
great
in
Title
as
in
Favour
,
was
now
grown
a
Marquess
;
and
lying
all
this
while
in
the
King's
bosom
,
every
man
paid
tribute
to
his
smiles
.
As
the
King
bought
off
Worcester
,
to
make
him
Master
of
the
Horse
;
so
he
bought
off
Nottingham
,
to
make
him
Admiral
.
What
may
not
he
have
,
that
is
not
only
Master
of
his
Horse
,
and
Ships
,
but
his
Heart
also
?
His
Mother
is
created
a
Countess
by
Patent
,
and
her
second
Husband
,
Sir
Thomas
Compton
,
had
no
other
Title
but
an
unworthy
one
,
which
the
People
(
either
out
of
their
anger
,
or
her
misdemeanour
)
imposed
upon
him
.
Her
eldest
Son
,
first
made
Sir
Iohn
Villiers
,
after
Viscount
Purbeck
,
married
to
the
Daughter
and
Heir
of
the
Lady
Elizabeth
Hatton
by
Sir
Edward
Cook
;
a
Lady
of
transcending
beauty
,
but
accused
for
wantonness
.
Purbeck
not
well
able
to
look
down
from
these
great
heights
,
got
a
giddiness
in
his
head
,
which
confined
him
to
a
dark
room
.
Her
other
Son
,
first
made
Sir
Christopher
Villiers
,
was
after
created
Earl
of
Anglesey
,
whose
honour
mixt
with
a
weak
brain
,
could
not
buoy
him
up
from
sinking
into
that
distemper
that
drowns
the
best
Wits
.
Her
Daughter
presently
after
also
shined
in
the
same
Sphere
with
her
,
her
Husband
being
from
a
private
Gentleman
made
Earl
of
Denbigh
.
Happy
is
he
can
get
a
Kinswoman
,
it
is
the
next
way
to
a
thriving
Office
,
or
some
new
swelling
Title
.
The
King
,
that
never
much
cared
for
Women
,
had
his
Court
swarming
with
the
Marquesses
kindred
so
,
that
little
ones
would
dance
up
and
down
the
privy
Lodgings
like
Pharies
;
and
it
was
no
small
sap
would
maintain
all
those
suckers
.
And
now
we
have
named
Sir
Thomas
Compton
,
A
Duel
betwixt
Compton
,
and
Bird.
there
will
follow
a
Story
of
his
youthful
Actions
,
which
though
done
long
since
,
will
not
be
uncomly
to
croud
in
here
.
He
had
the
remark
of
a
slow-spirited
man
when
he
was
young
,
and
truly
his
Wife
made
him
retain
it
to
the
last
.
But
such
as
found
him
so
in
those
vigorous
days
of
Duelling
,
would
trample
on
his
easiness
;
and
there
could
not
a
worse
Character
be
imprinted
on
any
man
,
than
to
be
termed
a
Coward
.
Among
the
rest
,
one
Bird
,
a
roaring
Captain
,
was
the
more
bold
and
in●olent
against
him
because
he
found
him
slow
,
and
backward
(
which
is
a
baseness
of
an
over-daring
nature
)
and
his
provocations
were
so
great
,
that
some
of
Compton's
Friends
taking
notice
of
it
,
told
him
,
It
were
better
to
die
nobly
●nce
,
than
to
live
infamously
ever
;
and
wrought
so
upon
his
cold
temper
,
that
the
next
alfront
that
this
bold
Bird
put
upon
him
,
he
was
heartned
into
the
Courage
to
send
him
a
Challenge
.
Bird
,
a
massy
great
Fellow
,
confident
of
his
own
strength
(
disdaining
Compton
,
being
le●s
both
in
Stature
and
Courage
)
told
the
Second
that
brought
the
Challenge
,
in
a
vapouring
manner
,
That
he
would
not
stir
a
foot
to
incounter
Compton
,
unless
he
would
meet
him
in
a
Saw-pit
,
where
he
might
be
sure
Compton
could
not
run
away
from
him
:
The
Second
,
that
looked
upon
this
as
a
Rodomontado
fancy
,
told
him
,
That
if
he
would
appoint
the
Place
,
Compton
should
not
fail
to
meet
him
.
Bird
making
choice
b●th
of
the
Place
,
and
Weapon
(
which
in
the
vain
formality
of
Fighters
,
was
in
the
election
of
the
Challenged
)
he
chose
a
Saw-pit
,
and
a
single
Sword
,
where
,
according
to
the
time
appointed
,
they
met
.
Being
both
together
in
the
Pit
,
with
swords
drawn
,
and
stript
ready
for
the
encounter
,
Now
Compton
(
said
Bird
)
thou
shalt
not
escape
from
me
;
aand
hovering
his
sword
over
his
head
,
in
a
disdainful
manner
,
said
,
Come
Compton
,
let
's
see
what
you
can
do
now
:
Compton
attending
his
business
with
a
watchful
eye
,
seeing
Bird's
Sword
hovering
over
him
,
ran
under
it
,
in
upon
him
,
and
in
a
moment
run
him
through
the
body
,
so
that
his
pride
fell
to
the
ground
,
and
there
did
spraul
out
its
last
vanity
.
Which
should
teach
us
,
that
strong
presumption
is
the
greatest
weakness
,
and
it
is
far
from
wisdom
in
the
most
arrogant
Strength
,
to
slight
and
disdain
the
meanest
Adversary
.
There
is
yet
in
bleeding
memory
(
even
in
these
Times
of
just
severity
against
this
impious
Duelling
)
one
of
the
same
Family
of
the
Compton's
,
in
some
part
guilty
of
Bird's
Crime
;
for
the
Provoker
to
such
horrid
Encounters
seldom
escapes
,
the
Divine
Iustice
permitting
such
violent
madness
to
tend
to
its
own
destruction
.

rules

and
Advancements
,
yet
his
Mother
,
the
Countess
,
wrought
them
in
effect
,
for
her
hand
was
in
all
Transactions
,
both
in
Church
and
State
;
and
she
must
needs
know
the
disposition
of
all
things
,
when
she
had
a
feeling
of
every
man's
pulse
;
for
most
Addresses
were
made
to
her
first
,
and
by
her
conveyed
to
her
Son
(
for
he
looked
after
his
pleasure
more
than
his
profit
)
which
made
Gondemar
(
who
was
well
skilled
in
Court
Holy-Water
)
among
other
his
witty
pranks
,
write
merrily
in
his
Dispatches
into
Spain
,
That
there
was
never
more
hope
of
England's
Conversion
to
Rome
,
than
now
;
for
there
are
more
prayers
and
oblations
offered
here
to
the
Mother
,
than
to
the
Son
.
For
the
Marquess
himself
,
Buckingham
a
lover
of
Ladies
.
as
he
was
a
man
of
excellent
symmetry
,
and
proportion
of
parts
,
so
he
affected
beauty
,
where
he
found
it
;
but
yet
he
looks
upon
the
whole
race
of
Women
,
as
inferior
things
,
and
uses
them
as
if
the
Sex
were
one
,
best
pleased
with
all
:
And
if
his
eye
cull'd
out
a
wanton
beauty
,
he
had
his
Setters
that
could
spread
his
Nets
,
and
point
a
meeting
at
some
Ladies
House
,
where
he
should
come
(
as
by
accident
)
and
find
Accesses
,
while
all
his
Train
attended
at
the
dore
,
as
if
it
were
an
honourable
visit
.
The
Earl
of
Rutland
,
of
a
Noble
Family
,
had
but
one
Daughter
to
be
the
Mistris
of
his
great
Fortune
,
and
he
tempts
her
,
carries
her
to
his
Lodgings
in
Whitehall
,
keeps
her
there
for
some
time
,
and
then
returns
her
back
again
to
her
Father
.
The
stout
old
Earl
sent
him
this
threatning
Message
,
That
he
had
too
much
of
a
Gentleman
to
suffer
such
an
indignity
,
and
if
he
did
not
marry
his
Daughter
to
repair
her
honour
,
no
greatness
should
protect
him
from
his
justice
.
Buckingham
,
that
perhaps
made
it
his
design
to
get
the
Father's
good
will
this
way
(
being
the
greatest
match
in
the
Kingdom
)
had
no
reason
to
mislike
the
Union
,
therefore
he
quickly
salved
up
the
wound
,
before
it
grew
to
a
quarrel
:
And
if
this
Marriage
stopt
the
Current
of
his
sins
,
he
had
the
less
to
answer
for
.
This
young
Lady
was
bred
a
Papist
by
her
Mother
,
but
after
her
Marriage
to
the
Marquess
,
she
was
converted
by
Doctor
White
(
as
was
pretended
)
and
grew
a
zealous
Protestant
,
but
like
a
morning
dew
,
it
quickly
vanished
:
For
the
old
Countess
of
Buckingham
never
left
working
by
her
sweet
Instruments
the
Iesuits
,
till
she
had
placed
her
on
the
first
foundation
.
So
that
the
Marquess
,
betwixt
a
Mother
and
a
Wife
,
began
to
be
indifferent
,
no
Papist
,
yet
no
Protestant
;
but
the
Arminian
Tenets
taking
root
,
were
nourished
up
by
him
,
and
those
that
did
not
hold
the
same
opinions
,
were
counted
Puritans
.
These
new
indifferences
now
grew
so
hot
in
England
,
that
the
Protestant
Cause
grew
very
cold
in
Germany
.
Which
made
the
spirits
of
most
men
rise
against
the
Spanish
Faction
at
home
,
and
Spain's
incroaching
Monarchy
abroad
.
And
though
the
King
sped
ill
the
last
Parliament
of
Somerset's
undertaking
,
The
King
calls
a
Parliament
.
and
thought
to
lay
them
by
for
ever
(
as
he
often
expressed
)
looking
upon
them
as
incroachers
into
his
Prerogative
,
and
diminishers
of
his
Majesty
,
and
Glory
,
making
Kings
less
,
and
Subjects
more
than
they
are
;
Yet
now
,
finding
the
peoples
desires
high-mounted
for
regaining
the
Palatinate
,
he
thought
they
would
look
only
up
towards
that
,
and
liberally
open
their
Purses
,
which
he
might
make
use
of
;
and
this
Unanimity
and
good
agreement
,
betwixt
him
and
his
people
,
would
induce
his
Brother
of
Spain
to
be
more
active
in
the
Treaty
in
hand
,
and
so
he
should
have
supply
from
the
one
,
and
dispatch
from
the
other
.
But
Parliaments
that
are
like
Physicians
to
the
bodies
of
Common-wealths
,
when
the
humors
are
once
stirred
,
they
find
cause
enough
many
times
to
administer
sharp
Medicines
,
where
there
was
little
appearance
of
Diseases
.
For
in
this
Recess
and
Ease
,
Time-servers
,
and
Flatterers
,
had
cried
up
the
Prerogative
;
And
the
King
wanting
Money
for
his
vast
expenses
,
had
furnished
himself
by
unusual
courses
.
For
Kings
excessive
in
gifts
,
will
find
followers
excessive
in
demands
;
and
they
that
weaken
themselves
in
giving
,
lose
more
in
gathering
,
than
they
gain
in
the
gift
:
For
Prodigality
in
a
Soveraign
,
ends
in
the
Rapine
and
Spoil
of
the
Subject

To
help
himself
therefore
and
those
that
drained
from
him
,
he
had
granted
several
Patents
to
undertakers
,
and
Monopolizers
,
whereby
they
preyed
upon
the
people
by
suits
and
exactions
,
milkt
the
Kingdom
,
and
kept
it
poor
,
the
King
taking
his
ease
,
and
giving
way
to
Informers
;
the
Gentry
grown
debauched
,
and
Fashion-mongers
,
and
the
Commons
,
sopt
,
and
besotted
with
quiet
and
restiness
,
drunk
in
so
much
disability
,
that
it
might
well
be
said
by
Gondemar
,
England
had
a
great
many
people
,
but
few
men
.
And
he
would
smile
at
their
Musters
;
for
through
disuse
they
were
grown
careless
of
Military
Discipline
,
ill
provided
of
Arms
,
effeminate
;
Officers
neglecting
their
charges
and
duties
,
conniving
for
gain
at
their
Neighbours
miscarriages
.
Some
of
the
Officers
in
the
Militia
,
and
Iustices
of
the
Peace
not
a
few
,
being
Church-Papists
,
floating
upon
the
smooth
stream
of
the
times
,
overwhelming
all
others
that
opposed
them
,
stigmatizing
them
with
the
name
of
Puritans
,
and
that
was
mark
enough
to
hinder
the
current
of
any
proceeding
or
preferment
aimed
at
,
or
hoped
for
,
either
in
Church
or
State
.
And
the
Iesuits
ranging
up
and
down
(
like
spirits
let
loose
)
did
not
now
,
as
formerly
,
creep
into
corners
,
using
close
and
cunning
Artifices
,
Jesuits
swarm
.
but
practised
them
openly
,
having
admission
to
our
Counsellors
of
State
;
for
when
Secretaries
,
and
such
as
manage
the
intimate
Counsels
of
Kings
are
Iesuitical
,
and
Clients
to
the
Pope
,
there
can
be
no
tendency
of
Affection
to
a
contrary
Religion
or
Policy
.
Those
were
only
most
active
in
the
Court
of
England
,
that
courted
the
King
of
Spain
most
,
and
could
carry
the
face
of
a
Protestant
,
and
the
heart
of
a
Papist
,
the
rest
were
contented
to
go
along
with
the
cry
:
For
they
hunted
but
a
cold
scent
,
and
could
pick
out
,
and
make
nothing
of
it
,
that
drew
off
,
or
crost
,
or
hunted
counter
.
Which
raised
the
spirits
of
the
people
so
high
against
them
,
that
were
the
chief
Hunters
in
these
times
,
that
they
brought
the
King
himself
within
the
compass
of
their
Libels
and
Pasquils
,
charging
him
to
love
his
hounds
better
than
his
people
.
And
if
this
bad
blood
had
been
heated
to
an
itch
of
Innovation
,
it
would
have
broke
out
to
a
very
fore
and
incurable
Malady
;
every
man
seeing
the
danger
,
few
men
daring
to
prevent
it
.
The
Pulpits
were
the
most
bold
Opposers
,
but
if
they
toucht
any
thing
upon
the
Spanish
policy
,
or
the
intended
Treaties
(
for
the
Restitution
of
the
Palatinate
was
included
in
the
Marriage
before
it
was

must
be
stopt

Gondemar
,
without
the
Lady
Iacob's
Receipt
,
and
(
it
may
be
)
confined
,
or
imprisoned
for
it
:
So
that
there
were
noplain
downright
blows
to
be
given
,
but
if
they
cunningly
,
and
subtily
,
could
glance
at
the
misdemeanors
of
the
Times
,
and
smooth
it
over
metaphorically
,
it
would
pass
current
,
though
before
the
King
himself
.
For
about
this
time
one
of
his
own
Chaplains
,
A
Satyrical
Sermon
.
preaching
before
him
at
Greenwich
,
took
this
Text
,
4
Mat.
8.
And
the
Devil
took
Iesus
to
the
top
of
a
Mountain
,
and
shewed
him
all
the
Kingdoms
of
the
World
,
saying
,
All
these
will
I
give
,
&c.
He
shewed
what
power
the
Devil
had
in
the
World
at
that
time
,
when
he
spake
these
words
,
and
from
thence
he
came
down
to
the
power
of
the
Devil
now
.
And
dividing
the
World
into
four
parts
,
he
could
not
make
the
least
of
the
four
to
be
Christian
,
and
of
those
how
few
went
God's
way
?
So
that
he
concluded
the
Devil
to
be
a
great
Monarch
,
having
so
many
Kingdoms
under
his
command
,
and
no
doubt
he
had
his
Vice
Roys
,
Council
of
State
,
Treasurers
,
Secretaries
,
and
many
other
Officers
to
manage
,
and
order
his
affairs
;
for
there
was
order
in
hell
it self
;
which
after
he
had
mustered
together
,
he
gives
a
character
of
every
particular
Officer
,
who
were
fit
to
be
the
Devil's
servants
,
running
through
the
body
of
the
Court
,
discovering
the
correspondencies
with
Iesuits
,
secret
Pensions
from
Foreign
Princes
,
betraying
their
Masters
Counsels
to
deserve
their
Rewards
,
working
and
combining
to
the
prejudice
of
God's
people
.
And
when
he
came
to
describe
the
Devil's
Treasurers
exactions
and
gripings
,
to
get
mony
,
he
fixt
his
eye
upon
Cranfield
,
then
Lord
Treasurer
(
whose
marriage
into
the
house
of
Fortune
,
and
Title
of
Earl
,
could
not
keep
him
from
being
odious
to
the
people
)
and
pointing
at
him
with
his
hand
,
said
with
an
Emphasis
,
That
man
(
reiterating
it
)
That
man
,
that
makes
himself
rich
,
and
his
Master
poor
,
he
is
a
fit
Treasurer
for
the
Devil
.
This
the
Author
heard
,
and
saw
,
whilst
Cranfield
sat
with
his
hat
pulled
down
over
his
eyes
,
ashamed
to
look
up
,
lest
he
should
find
all
mens
eyes
fixt
upon
him
;
the
King
,
who
sat
just
over
him
,
smiling
at
the
quaint
Satyr
so
handsomly
coloured
over
.
It
seems
Neile
,
the
Bishop
of
Lincoln
was
not
by
him
then
;
for
when
any
man
preached
that
had
the
Renown
of
Piety
(
unwilling
the
King
should
hear
him
)
he
would
in
the
Sermon
time
,
entertain
the
King
with
a
merry
Tale
(
that
I
may
give
it
no
worse
title
)
which
the
King
would
after
laugh
at
,
and
tell
those
near
him
,
he
could
not
hear
the
Preacher
for
the
old
B.
Bishop
.
We
must
confess
,
this
Relation
smells
too
rank
,
but
it
was
too
true
,
and
hope
the
modest
Reader
will
excuse
it
(
We
having
had
divers
hammerings
and
conflicts
within
us
to
leave
it
out
)
seeing
it
proceeds
not
from
any
rancour
of
spirit
against
the
Prelacy
,
but
to
vindicate
God's
Iustice
to
Posterity
,
(
who
never
punishes
without
a
Cause
)
and
such
like
practices
as
these
were
doubtless
put
upon
the
score
,
which
after
gave
a
period
to
that
Hierarchy
.
This
man's
hand
helped
to
close
up
the
Countess
of
Essex's
Virginity
,
when
he
was
Coventry
and
Litchfield
;
his
heart
had
this
kind
of
vanity
when
he
was
Lincoln
;
and
when
he
was
Arch-bishop
of
York
his
head
was
so
filled
with
Arminian
impiety
,
that
in
the
next
King's
Reign
he
was
looked
upon
by
the
Parliament
to
be
one
of
the
great
Grievances
of
the
Kingdom
,
as
will
follow
in
the
Tract
of
this
Story

that
either
thought
these
instruments
were
not
so
active
,
or
that
they
would
not
be
discovered
,
was
resolved
upon
a
Parliament
,
for
the
former
Reasons
,
which
began
the
twentieth
of
Ianuary
this
year
;
yet
not
being
ignorant
of
some
miscarriages
that
passed
by
his
allowance
,
he
strives
to
palliate
them
,
and
gives
the
Parliament
some
little
touches
of
them
by
the
way
,
that
when
they
should
find
them
,
they
might
(
by
his
Anticipation
)
appear
the
less
.
And
being
loth
to
have
the
breach
between
him
and
his
people
made
wider
,
he
thus
strives
to
stop
the
gap
.
MY
Lords
,
The
King's
Speech
to
the
Parliament
.
Spiritual
and
Temporal
,
and
you
the
Commons
,
cui
multiloquio
non
deest
peccatum
.
In
the
last
Parliament
●
made
long
Discourses
;
especially
to
them
of
the
Lower
House
,
I
did
open
the
true
thought
of
my
heart
.
But
I
may
say
with
our
Saviour
,
I
have
piped
to
you
,
and
you
have
not
danced
,
I
have
mourned
,
and
you
have
not
lamented
.
Yet
as
no
man's
Actions
can
be
free
,
so
in
me
,
God
found
some
spices
of
Vanity
,
and
so
all
my
sayings
turned
to
me
again
,
without
any
success
.
And
now
to
tell
the
Reasons
of
your
Calling
,
and
this
Meeting
,
apply
it
to
your selves
,
and
spend
not
the
time
in
long
Speeches
.
Consider
,
That
the
Parliament
is
a
thing
composed
of
a
Head
and
a
Body
;
the
Monarch
,
and
the
two
Estates
:
It
was
first
a
Monarchy
,
then
after
a
Parliament
;
there
are
no
Parliaments
but
in
Monarchical
Governments
;
for
in
Venice
,
the
Netherlands
,
and
other
Free-Governments
,
there
are
none
.
The
Head
is
to
call
the
Body
together
,
and
for
the
Clergy
the
Bishops
are
chief
,
for
Shires
their
Knights
,
and
for
Towns
and
Cities
their
Burgesses
and
Citizens
.
These
are
to
treat
of
difficult
matters
,
and
to
counsel
their
King
with
their
best
advice
,
to
make
Laws
for
the
Commonweal
;
and
the
Lower-House
is
also
to
petition
the
King
,
and
acquaint
him
with
their
grievances
,
and
not
to
meddle
with
their
King's
Prerogative
.
They
are
to
offer
supply
for
his
necessity
,
and
he
to
distribute
in
recompence
thereof
Iustice
and
Mercy
.
As
in
all
Parliaments
,
it
is
the
King's
office
to
make
good
Laws
(
whose
Fundamental
Cause
is
the
peoples
ill
manners
)
so
at
this
time
.
That
we
may
meet
with
the
new
Abuses
,
and
the
incroaching
craft
of
the
times
,
particulars
shall
be
read
hereafter
.
As
touching
Religion
.
Laws
enough
are
made
already
;
it
stands
in
two
points
,
Persuasion
and
Compulsion
.
Men
may
persuade
,
but
God
must
give
the
blessing
.
Iesuits
,
Priests
,
Puritans
,
and
Sectaries
,
erring
both
on
the
right-hand
and
left-hand
,
are
forward
to
persuade
unto
their
own
ends
;
and
so
ought
you
the
Bishops
,
in
your
example
and
preaching
;
but
compulsion
to
obey
,
is
to
bind
the
Conscience
.
There
is
talk
of
the
Match
with
Spain
:
But
if
it
shall
not
prove
a
furtherance
to
Religion
,
I
am
not
worthy
to
be
your
King
:
I
will
never
proceed
,
but
to
the
Glory
of
God
,
and
content
of
my
Subjects
.
For
a
supply
to
my
necessities
.
I
have
reigned
eighteen
years
,
in
which
time
you
have
had
Peace
,
and
I
have
received
far
less
supply
than
hath
been
given
to
any
King
since
the
Conquest
.
The
last
Queen
of
famous
memory
,
had
one
year
with
another
above
a
hundred
thousand
pounds
per
annum
in
Subsidies
.
And
in
all
my
time
I
had
but
four
Subsidies
,
and
six
Fifteens
.
It
is
ten
years
since
I
had
a
Subsidy
,
in
all
which
time
I
have
been
sparing
to
trouble
you
.
I
have
turned
my self
as
nearly
to
save
expence
as
I
may
.
I
have
abated
much
in
my
Houshold-expences
,
in
my
Navies
,
in
the
charge
of
my
Munition
:
I
made
not
choice
of
an
old
beaten
Soldier
for
my
Admiral
,
but
rather
chose
a
young
man
,
whose
honesty
and
integrity
I
knew
;
whose
care
hath
been
to
appoint
under
him
sufficient
men
to
lessen
my
charges
,
which
he
hath
done
.
Touching
the
miserable
dissentions
in
Christendom
.
I
was
not
the
cause
thereof
;
for
the
appeasing
whereof
,
I
sent
my
Lord
of
Doncaster
,
whose
journey
cost
me
three
thousand
five
hundred
pounds
.
My
Son-in-law
sent
to
me
for
advice
,
but
within
three
days
after
accepted
of
the
Crown
;
which
I
did
never
approve
of
for
three
Reasons
.
First
,
for
Religion
sake
,
as
not
holding
with
the
Iesuits
disposing
of
Kingdoms
,
rather
learning
of
our
Saviour
to
uphold
,
not
to
overthrow
them
.
Secondly
,
I
was
no
Judg
between
them
,
neither
acquainted
with
the
Laws
of
Bohemia
.
Quis
me
judicem
fecit
?
ROTTERDAM
View of Rotterdam
You
may
be
informed
of
me
in
things
in
course
of
justice
;
but
I
never
sent
to
any
of
my
Iudges
to
give
Sentence
contrary
to
the
Law
.
Consider
the
Trade
,
for
the
making
thereof
better
;
and
shew
me
the
Reason
why
my
Mint
,
for
these
eight
or
nine
years
,
hath
not
gone
.
I
confess
,
I
have
been
liberal
in
my
Grants
,
but
if
I
be
informed
,
I
will
amend
all
hurtful
grievances
:
But
who
shall
hasten
after
grievances
,
and
desire
to
make
himself
popular
,
he
hath
the
Spirit
of
Satan
.
If
I
may
know
my
errors
,
I
will
reform
them
.
I
was
in
my
first
Parliament
a
Novice
;
and
in
my
last
there
was
a
kind
of
Beasts
,
called
Undertakers
,
a
dozen
of
whom
undertook
to
govern
the
last
Parliament
,
and
they
led
me
.
I
shall
thank
you
for
your
good
Office
,
and
desire
that
the
World
may
say
well
of
our
Agreement
.
Physicians

The
Parliament
comply
with

King

Si

,
caetera
mem

.
This
Head
is
not
a
weak
one
,
but
subtil
enough
for
the
Body
.
The
Parliament
knew
well
whom
they
had
to
deal
with
,
and
managed
their
business
in
the
beginning
,
that
they
were
the
readier
to
grapple
with
him
in
the
end
.
They
would
not
stir
a
Stone
of
that
foundation
his
Prerogative
rested
on
,
but
those
men
that
had
wrought
themselves
in
,
to
supplant
and
undermine
the
Common
Liberties
,
they
fell
sore
upon
them
.
The
King
was
modest
,
Doncaster's
Ambassy
expensive
.
and
almost
ashamed
to
tell
the
Parliament
,
how
much
Money
the
Viscount
Doncaster's
J●urney
cost
,
therefore
he
minces
it
into
a
small
proportion
.
But
this
we
know
,
when
he
landed
at
Roterdam
,
the
first
night
and
morning
,
before
he
went
to
the
Hague
,
his
Expences
those
two
meals
,
in
the
Inn
where
he
lay
,
came
to
above
a
Thousand
Gilders
,
which
is
a
Hundred
pounds
Sterling
.
And
the
Inn-keeper
at
the
Peacock
at
Dort
(
hoping
he
would
make
that
his
way
into
Germany
)
made
great
Provisions
for
him
,
upon
,
no
other
Order
,
but
a
bare
Fancy
;
and
the
Ambassador
taking
his
way
by
Utricht
,
the
Inn-keeper
of
Dort
followed
him
,
complaining
that
he
was
much
prejudiced
by
his
baulking
that
Town
:
For
hearing
of
a
great
Ambassador's
coming
,
and
what
he
had
expended
at
Ro●erdam
,
I
made
(
saith
he
)
Preparations
suitable
,
and
now
they
will
lye
on
my
hands
:
Which
coming
to
Doncaster's
ear
,
he
commanded
his
Steward
to
give
him
Thirty
pounds
sterling
,
and
never
tasted
of
his
Cup.
And
we
have
been
assured
by
some
of
his
Train
,
that
his
very
Carriages
could
not
cost
so
little
as
Threescore
pounds
a
day
,
for
he
had
with
him
a
great
many
Noblemens
Sons
,
and
other
Personages
of
quality
,
that
the
Germans
might
admire
the
glory
of
the
English
,
as
well
as
the
French
did
in
his
last
Ambassage
.
And
he
was
out
so
long
following
the
Emperor
,
in
his
Progresses
from
City
to
Camp
,
and
from
Camp
to
City
,
a
poor
humble
Solicitor
,
if
not
Petitioner
,
that
his
Expence
could
not
amount
to
less
than
fifty
,
or
threescore
thousand
pounds
.
When
he
was
at
the
Hague
,
He
is
feasted
by
the
Pr.
of
Orange
.
had
made
his
visits
,
and
filled
the
Town
with
the
admiration
of
his
bravery
and
feasts
.
Some
intimates
to
Maurice
Prince
of
Orange
,
advised
him
to
feast
the
great
English
Ambassador
.
Yes
,
yes
,
(
saith
the
Prince
)
bid
him
come
.
When
the
Prince's
Steward
had
notice
of
the
invitation
(
from
other
hand
,
for
the
Prince
gave
no
order
in
it
)
he
comes
to
the
Prince
and
tells
him
,
there
will
be
great
preparations
expected
;
for
the
Ambassador's
ordinary
meals
were
Feasts
;
and
he
had
an
numerous
and
splendid
Train
of
Nobles
and
Gentry
,
that
did
accompany
him
.
Well
(
said
the
Prince
)
fit
me
a
dinner
,
such
as
I
use
to
have
,
and
let
me
see
the
bill
of
fare
.
When
the
Steward
brought
the
Bill
,
the
Prince
liked
it
well
;
but
the
Steward
said
,
Sir
,
This
is
but
your
ordinary
diet
;
now
you
should
have
some
thing
extraordinary
,
because
this
is
an
extraordinary
Ambassador
.
The
Prince
thinking
some
reason
in
the
Steward's
Arguments
,
and
finding
but
one
Pig
nominated
in
the
Bill
,
commanded
him
to
put
down
another
Pig
,
and
that
was
all
the
additions
he
would
make
.
Which
Dish
as
it
is
not
very
pleasing
and
acceptable
to
the
Scots
Nation
for
the
most
part
,
so
we
know
not
whether
it
were
by
accident
,
or
on
purpose
to
displease
him
.
But
this
is
well
known
,
there
could
be
nothing
more
contemptible
to
the
morose
and
severe
temper
of
the
Princes
spirit
,
than
this
comportment
of
Doncaster's
,
which
most
men
interpreted
to
be
pride
and
prodigality
.
But
truly
(
set
those
vanities
of
Grandure
aside
,
for
the
honor
,
His
short
character
.
though
not
profit
of
his
Master
)
He
was
a
Gentleman
every
way
compleat
.
His
Bounty
was
adorned
with
Courtesie
,
his
Courtesie
not
affected
,
but
resulting
from
a
natural
Civility
in
him
.
His
Humbleness
set
him
below
the
Envy
of
most
,
and
his
Bounty
brought
him
into
esteem
with
many
.
A
true
Courtier
for
complying
,
and
one
that
had
Language
enough
to
be
real
as
well
as
formal
;
for
he
could
personate
both
to
the
height
of
expression
.
So
that
he
was
very
fit
for
his
imployment
,
though
it
were
purchased
at
a
dear
rate
.
Digby
goes
into
Germ.
But
to
leave
this
digression
.
Some
small
time
after
the
Parliament
began
,
the
King
,
according
to
his
intentions
and
expressions
in
his
Speech
to
them
,
dispatched
away
the
Lord
Digby
Ambassador
to
the
Emperor
,
where
he
was
to
press
for
a
punctual
Answer
,
whether
the
Palatinate
might
be
recovered
by
Peace
,
or
War
.
Sir
Robert
Cotton
.
From
an
Original
by
P.
Van
Somer
.
His
Autograph
from
the
Original
in
the
Possession
of
John
Thane
.
The
main
things
which
the
Parliament
insisted
on
(
though
many
others
came
by
the
by
)
were
the
three
great
Patents
;
The
peoples
grievances
.
for
Inns
,
Ale-houses
,
and
Gold
and
Silver
thred
.
Upon
every
Inn
,
and
Ale-house
,
there
was
a
great
Fine
and
Annual
Revenue
set
,
throughout
the
Kingdom
,
and
they
that
would
not
pay
so
much
as
the
Patentees
assest
them
at
,
their
goods
and
persons
were
seised
on
till
they
gave
them
satisfaction
according
to
their
voraginous
humours
.
And
they
found
out
a
new
Alchimistical
way
to
make
Gold
and
Silver
Lace
,
with
Copper
,
and
other
sophisticate
materials
,
to
couzen
and
deceive
the
people
;
and
no
man
must
make
,
or
vent
any
but
such
Factors
as
they
imployed
,
so
that
they
ingrossed
all
the
whole
trade
of
that
Ages
vanity
(
which
was
enough
)
and
gave
them
counterfeit
ware
for
their
money
:
And
if
any
man
were
found
to
make
any
other
Lace
than
what
was
allowed
by
them
,
they
were
made
to
know
(
to
their
dear
experience
)
the
power
of
these
Ingrossers
:
And
so
poisonous
were
the
Drugs
that
made
up
this
deceitful
Composition
,
that
they
rotted
the
hands
and
arms
,
and
brought
lameness
upon
those
that
wrought
it
;
some
losing
their
eyes
,
and
many
their
lives
by
the
venom
of
the
vapours
that
came
from
it
.
The
chief
Actors
in
this
Pestilent
business
,
Mompesson
and
Michel
actors
in
them
.
were
Sir
Giles
Mompesson
,
and
Sir
Francis
Michel
:
These
two
moved
all
the
under-wheels
.
Mompesson
had
fortune
enough
in
the
Country
to
make
him
happy
,
if
that
sphere
could
have
contained
him
,
but
the
vulgar
and
universal
error
of
satiety
with
present
injoyments
,
made
him
too
big
for
a
rustical
condition
,
and
when
he
came
at
Court
,
he
was
too
little
for
that
:
So
that
some
Novelty
must
be
taken
up
,
to
set
him
(
if
he
knew
his
own
mind
)
in
Aequilibrio
to
the
place
he
was
in
;
no
matter
what
it
was
,
let
it
be
never
so
pestilent
and
mischievous
to
others
,
he
cared
not
,
so
he
found
benefit
by
it
.
To
him
Michel
is
made
Compartner
,
a
poor
sneaking
Justice
,
that
lived
among
the
Brothels
near
Clerken-well
,
whose
Clark
and
he
pickt
a
livelyhood
out
of
those
corners
,
giving
Warrants
for
what
they
did
,
besides
anniversary
●●ipends
(
the
frequent
Revenue
of
some
Justices
of
those
times
)
for
connivency
.
I
know
how
necessary
and
how
splendent
it
is
for
men
of
publick
minds
to
flourish
in
the
execution
of
Iustice
,
for
weeding
out
,
and
extirpating
vitious
habits
,
radicated
in
every
corner
;
but
this
thing
was
a
poisonous
Plant
in
its
own
nature
,
and
the
fitter
to
be
an
Ingredient
to
such
a
Composition
:
Therefore
he
is
brought
to
Court
,
Knighted
,
and
corroborated
by
these
Letters
Patents
,
whereby
he
took
liberty
to
be
more
ravenous
upon
poor
people
,
to
the
grating
of
the
bones
,
and
sucking
out
the
very
marrow
of
their
substance
.
These
oppressions
were
throughly
ripped
up
,
The
Parliaments
goodness
.
and
laid
open
by
the
House
of
Commons
.
But
together
with
these
proceedings
they
took
notice
of
the
King's
wants
,
and
thought
fit
something
to
sweeten
his
temper
,
that
they
might
not
take
from
him
the
little
profit
he
had
by
those
Patents
,
but
they
would
m●ke
it
up
some
other
way
,
therefore
they
gave
him
two
intire
Subsidles
,
which
were
very
acceptable
unto
him
:
For
those
Contributions
that
flow
from
the
peoples
love
,
come
freely
like
a
Spring-tide
;
But
illegal
Taxes
racked
from
their
bowels
(
coming
through
so
many
Promoters
and
Catchpoles
hands
)
run
very
low
,
and
the
King
hath
the
least
share
.
The
King
hearing
these
Patents
were
anatomized
in
the
House
of
Commons
,
and
willing
to
comply
with
his
people
,
whom
he
found
so
bountiful
unto
him
,
he
comes
to
the
House
of
Lords
to
close
gently
with
them
,
and
excuse
the
granting
of
those
Patents
,
shewing
some
reasons
why
he
did
them
,
and
the
instructions
he
gave
for
the
execution
of
them
,
by
which
he
hoped
to
take
off
that
sharp
reflexion
that
might
light
upon
him
.
But
the
modesty
of
Parliaments
seldom
impute
any
of
these
miscarriages
to
the
Prince
,
but
the
Actors
under
him
must
bear
the
burthen
of
it
.
And
the
time
drawing
near
that
the
Lords
assigned
for
judging
the
Malefactors
,
the
King
comes
again
to
the
House
upon
the
26
of
March
,
and
thus
passed
his
sentence
upon
the
Patents
,
before
the
Lords
should
pass
theirs
upon
the
executioners
of
them
.
My
Lords
,
Thomas
Earle
of
Arundell
&
Surrey
Earle
Marshall
,
&
Lord
high
Steward
of
Englaud
.
etc.
Two
reasons
move
me
to
be
earnest
in
the
execution
of
what
ye
are
to
sentence
at
this
time
.
First
,
That
duty
I
owe
to
God
,
who
hath
made
me
a
King
,
and
tied
me
to
the
care
of
Government
,
by
that
politick
Marriage
betwixt
me
and
my
people
:
For
I
do
assure
you
in
the
Heart
of
an
honest
man
,
and
by
the
Faith
of
a
Christian
King
(
which
both
ye
,
and
all
the
World
know
me
to
be
)
had
these
things
been
complained
of
to
me
before
the
Parliament
,
I
would
have
done
the
office
of
a
just
King
,
and
out
of
Parliament
have
punished
them
,
as
severely
,
and
peradventure
more
than
ye
now
intend
to
do
.
But
now
that
they
are
discovered
to
me
in
Parliament
,
I
shall
be
as
ready
in
this
way
,
as
I
should
have
been
in
the
other
.
For
I
confess
,
I
am
ashamed
(
these
things
proving
so
as
they
are
generally
reported
to
be
)
that
it
was
not
my
good
fortune
to
be
the
only
Author
of
the
Reformation
,
and
punishment
of
them
,
by
some
ordinary
Courts
of
Justice
.
Nevertheless
,
since
these
things
are
now
discovered
by
Parliament
,
which
before
I
knew
not
of
,
nor
could
so
well
have
discovered
otherwise
,
in
regard
of
that
Representative
Body
of
the
Kingdom
,
which
comes
from
all
parts
of
the
Country
;
I
will
be
never
a-whit
the
slower
to
do
my
part
for
the
execution
.
For
(
as
many
of
you
that
are
here
,
have
heard
me
often
say
,
and
so
I
will
still
say
)
So
precious
unto
me
is
the
publick
good
,
that
no
private
person
whatsoever
(
were
he
never
so
dear
unto
me
)
shall
be
respected
by
me
by
many
degrees
as
the
publick
good
,
not
only
of
the
whole
Common-wealth
,
but
even
of
a
particular
Corporation
,
that
is
a
Member
of
it
.
And
I
hope
that
ye
my
Lords
will
do
me
that
right
,
to
publish
to
my
people
this
my
heart
and
purpose
.
The
second
Reason
is
,
That
I
intend
not
to
derogate
or
infringe
,
any
of
the
Liberties
,
or
Privileges
of
this
House
,
but
rather
to
fortifie
and
strengthen
them
:
For
never
any
King
hath
done
so
much
for
the
Nobility
of
England
as
I
have
done
,
and
will
ever
be
ready
to
do
.
And
whatsoever
I
shall
say
,
and
deliver
unto
you
as
my
thought
,
yet
when
I
have
said
what
I
think
,
I
will
afterwards
freely
leave
the
Judgment
wholly
to
your
House
.
I
know
you
will
do
nothing
but
what
the
like
hath
been
done
before
,
and
I
pray
you
be
not
jealous
that
I
will
abridge
you
of
any
thing
that
hath
been
used
:
For
whatsoever
the
Precedents
(
in
times
of
good
Government
)
can
warrant
,
I
will
allow
.
For
I
acknowledge
this
to
be
the
supreme
Court
of
Iustice
,
wherein
I
am
ever
present
by
Representation
.
And
in
this
ye
may
be
the
better
satisfied
by
my
own
presence
,
coming
divers
times
among
you
:
Neither
can
I
give
you
any
greater
assurance
,
or
better
pledge
of
this
my
purpose
,
than
that
I
have
done
you
the
honor
to
set
my
only
Son
among
you
,
and
hope
that
ye
with
him
,
shall
have
the
means
to
make
this
the
happiest
Parliament
that
ever
was
in
England
.
This
I
profess
,
and
take
comfort
in
,
that
the
House
of
Commons
at
this
time
have
shewed
greater
love
,
and
used
me
with
more
respect
in
all
their
proceedings
,
than
ever
any
House
of
Commons
have
heretofore
done
to
me
,
or
I
think
to
any
of
my
Predecessors
.
As
for
this
House
of
yours
,
I
have
always
found
it
respective
to
me
,
and
accordingly
do
I
,
and
ever
did
favour
you
,
as
you
well
deserved
.
And
I
hope
it
will
be
accounted
a
happiness
for
you
,
that
my
Son
doth
now
sit
among
you
;
who
,
when
it
shall
please
God
to
set
him
in
my
place
,
will
then
remember
that
he
was
once
a
Member
of
your
House
,
and
so
be
bound
to
maintain
all
your
Lawful
Privileges
,
and
like
the
better
of
you
all
the
days
of
his
life
.
But
because
the
World
at
this
time
talks
so
much
of
Bribes
,
I
have
just
cause
to
fear
the
whole
Body
of
this
House
hath
bribed
him
to
be
a
good
Instrument
for
you
upon
all
occasions
:
He
doth
so
good
Offices
in
all
his
Reports
to
me
,
both
for
the
House
in
general
,
and
every
one
of
you
in
particular
.
And
the
like
I
may
say
of
one
that
sits
there
,
Buckingham
;
He
hath
been
so
ready
upon
all
occasions
to
do
good
Offices
,
both
for
the
House
in
general
,
and
every
Member
in
particular
.
One
proof
thereof
,
I
hope
,
my
Lord
of
Arundel
hath
already
witnessed
unto
you
,
in
his
report
made
unto
you
of
my
answer
touching
the
Privileges
of
the
Nobility
,
how
earnestly
he
spake
unto
me
of
that
matter
.
Now
,
my
Lords
,
the
time
draws
near
of
your
Recess
;
whether
Formality
will
leave
you
time
for
proceeding
now
to
Sentence
against
all
,
or
any
of
the
persons
now
in
question
,
I
know
not
.
But
for
my
part
,
since
both
Houses
have
dealt
so
lovingly
,
and
freely
with
me
,
in
giving
me
,
as
a
free
Gift
,
two
Subsidies
,
in
a
more
loving
manner
than
hath
been
given
to
any
King
before
,
and
so
accepted
by
me
.
And
since
I
cannot
yet
retribute
by
a
General
Pardon
,
which
hath
by
Form
usually
been
reserved
to
the
end
of
a
Parliament
:
The
least
I
can
do
(
which
I
can
forbear
no
longer
)
is
to
do
something
in
present
,
for
the
ease
and
good
of
my
People
.
Three
Patents
at
this
time
have
been
complained
of
,
and
thought
great
Grievances
.
-
"
1.
That
of
the
Inns
,
and
Hosteries
.
-
"
2.
That
of
Ale-houses
.
-
"
3.
That
of
Gold
and
Silver
Thread
.
My
purpose
is
,
to
strike
them
all
dead
,
and
that
Time
may
not
be
lost
,
I
will
have
it
done
presently
.
That
concerning
Ale-houses
,
I
would
have
to
be
left
to
the
managing
of
Justices
of
the
Peace
,
as
before
.
That
of
Gold
and
Silver
Thread
was
most
vilely
executed
,
both
for
wrong
done
to
mens
persons
,
as
also
for
abuse
in
the
Stuff
,
for
it
was
a
kind
of
false
Coin
.
I
have
already
freed
the
Persons
that
were
in
Prison
,
I
will
now
also
damn
the
Patent
,
and
this
may
seem
instead
of
a
Pardon
.
All
these
three
I
will
have
recalled
by
Proclamation
,
and
wish
you
to
advise
of
the
fittest
Form
to
that
purpose
.
I
hear
also
there
is
another
Bill
among
you
against
Informers
;
I
desire
you
,
my
Lords
,
that
as
you
tender
my
Honour
,
and
the
good
of
my
People
,
ye
will
put
that
Bill
to
an
end
as
soon
as
you
can
,
and
at
your
next
meeting
to
make
it
one
of
your
first
works
:
For
I
have
already
shewed
my
dislike
of
that
kind
of
people
openly
in
Star-Chamber
,
and
it
will
be
the
greatest
ease
to
me
,
and
all
those
that
are
near
about
me
at
Court
,
that
may
be
.
For
I
remember
,
that
since
the
beginning
of
this
Parliament
,
Buckingham
hath
told
me
,
he
never
found
such
quiet
and
rest
,
as
in
this
time
of
Parliament
,
from
Projecters
and
Informers
,
who
at
other
times
miserably
vexed
him
at
all
hours
.
And
now
I
confess
,
that
when
I
looked
before
upon
the
face
of
the
Government
,
I
thought
(
as
every
man
would
have
done
)
that
the
People
were
never
so
happy
as
in
my
time
.
For
even
as
at
divers
times
,
I
have
looked
upon
many
of
my
Coppices
,
riding
about
them
,
and
they
appeared
on
the
outside
very
thick
,
and
well-grown
unto
me
,
but
when
I
turned
into
the
midst
of
them
,
I
found
them
all
bitten
with
in
,
and
full
of
Plains
,
and
bare
Spots
,
like
an
Apple
or
Pear
fair
and
smooth
without
,
but
when
ye
cleave
it
asunder
,
you
find
it
rotten
at
the
heart
:
Even
so
this
Kingdom
,
the
external
Government
being
as
good
as
ever
it
was
,
and
I
am
sure
,
as
learned
Iudges
as
ever
it
had
,
and
I
hope
as
honest
,
administring
Iustice
within
it
;
and
for
Peace
both
at
home
,
and
abroad
,
I
may
truly
say
more
setled
,
and
longer
lasting
,
than
ever
any
before
,
together
with
as
great
Plenty
as
ever
;
so
as
it
was
to
be
thought
,
that
every
Man
might
sit
in
safety
under
his
own
Vine
,
and
Figtree
:
Yet
I
am
ashamed
(
and
it
makes
my
hair
stand
upright
)
to
consider
,
how
in
this
time
my
People
have
been
vexed
,
and
polled
,
by
the
vile
execution
of
Projects
,
Patents
,
Bills
of
Conformity
,
and
such
like
,
which
besides
the
trouble
of
my
People
,
have
more
exhausted
their
purses
than
Subsidies
would
have
done
.
Now
my
Lords
,
before
I
go
hence
,
since
God
hath
made
me
the
great
Iudge
of
this
Land
under
him
,
and
that
I
must
answer
for
the
iustice
of
the
same
,
I
will
therefore
,
according
to
my
Place
remember
you
of
some
things
,
though
I
would
not
teach
you
;
for
no
man's
knowledge
can
be
so
good
,
but
their
memories
will
be
the
better
to
be
refreshed
.
And
now
,
because
you
are
coming
to
give
Iudgment
(
all
which
moves
from
the
the
King
)
that
you
may
the
better
proceed
,
take
into
your
Care
two
things
.
-
"
1.
To
do
Bonum
.
-
"
2.
To
do
it
Bené
.
I
call
Bonum
,
when
all
is
well
proved
,
whereupon
ye
judge
,
for
then
ye
build
upon
a
sure
Foundation
.
And
by
Benè
I
understand
,
that
ye
proceed
with
all
formality
and
legality
;
wherein
you
have
fit
occasion
to
advise
with
the
Iudges
,
who
are
to
assist
you
with
their
Opinions
,
in
Cases
of
that
Nature
,
and
woe
be
to
them
if
they
advise
you
not
well
▪
So
the
ground
being
good
,
and
the
form
orderly
,
it
will
prove
a
Course
sitting
this
High
Court
of
Parliament
.
In
Sentence
ye
are
to
observe
two
parts
:
First
,
to
recollect
that
which
is
worthy
of
Judging
,
and
Censuring
;
And
Secondly
,
to
proceed
against
these
,
as
against
such
like
Crimes
properly
.
We
doubt
there
will
be
many
Matters
before
you
,
some
complained
of
out
of
passion
,
and
some
out
of
just
Cause
of
grievance
:
Weigh
both
,
but
be
not
carried
away
with
the
impertinent
Discourses
of
them
,
that
name
as
well
innocent
men
as
guilty
.
Proceed
judicially
,
and
spare
none
,
where
ye
find
just
Cause
to
punish
:
But
let
your
Proceedings
be
according
to
Law
,
and
remember
that
Laws
have
not
their
eyes
in
their
necks
,
but
in
their
foreheads
.
For
the
Moral
Reason
for
the
punishment
of
Vices
in
all
Kingdoms
,
and
Common-wealths
,
is
,
because
of
the
breach
of
Laws
standing
in
force
;
for
none
can
be
punished
for
breach
of
Laws
by
Predestination
,
before
they
be
made
.
There
is
yet
one
particular
that
I
am
to
remember
you
of
;
I
hear
that
Sir
Henry
Yelverton
(
who
is
now
in
the
Tower
upon
a
Sentence
given
in
the
Star-Chamber
against
him
for
deceiving
my
Trust
)
is
touched
concerning
a
Warrant
Dormant
,
which
he
made
while
he
was
my
Attorney
:
I
protest
I
never
heard
of
this
Warrant
dormant
before
,
and
I
hold
it
as
odious
a
matter
as
any
is
before
you
.
And
if
for
respect
to
me
ye
have
forborn
to
meddle
with
him
,
in
examination
,
because
he
is
my
prisoner
,
I
do
here
freely
remit
him
unto
you
,
and
put
him
into
your
hands
.
And
this
is
all
I
have
to
say
unto
you
at
this
time
,
wishing
you
to
proceed
justly
and
nobly
,
according
to
the
Orders
of
your
House
:
And
I
pray
God
to
bless
you
,
and
you
may
assure
your selves
of
my
assistance
;
Wishing
,
that
what
I
have
said
this
day
among
you
,
may
be
entred
into
the
Records
of
this
House
.
Thus
the
King
strove
to
mitigate
the
asperity
and
sharpness
of
the
humors
contracted
in
the
Body
of
the
Kingdom
,
The
King's
Speech
discanted
on
.
that
they
might
not
break
out
to
disgrace
the
Physician
:
For
he
looked
upon
himself
as
an
able
Director
,
and
yet
he
found
he
might
be
deceived
;
And
therefore
he
brings
the
Lords
into
a
Wood
,
comparatively
to
tell
them
,
that
they
appeared
to
him
well
grown
,
and
fair
,
but
searching
into
them
he
found
them
otherwise
.
But
he
that
pretended
to
the
knowledge
of
all
things
,
(
as
give
him
his
due
he
was
well
known
in
most
)
could
not
be
ignorant
that
the
Patents
he
granted
were
against
the
Liberties
of
the
people
,
but
whether
the
execution
of
them
to
that
extremity
came
within
his
Cognizance
cannot
be
determined
;
his
damning
of
them
shews
his
dislike
at
present
,
condemning
that
which
he
knew
would
be
done
to
his
hand
,
if
he
had
not
done
it
;
and
this
must
not
be
known
only
at
Westminster
,
and
left
upon
Record
to
Posterity
there
,
but
he
commanded
his
Speech
to
be
printed
,
that
all
his
people
might
know
,
how
willing
and
forward
he
was
to
abolish
any
Act
of
his
that
tended
to
a
grievance
.
And
though
he
did
not
accuse
the
Marquess
of
Buckingham
for
giving
way
to
Informers
,
yet
he
was
much
troubled
with
them
till
the
Parliament
began
;
and
in
that
numerous
crowd
those
that
brought
profit
were
doubtless
admitted
with
the
first
:
Buckingham
Master
of
the
Work
.
These
considerations
upon
the
King's
Speech
buzzed
up
and
down
,
and
many
of
the
Parliament
men
looked
upon
the
Marquess
as
the
first
mover
of
this
great
Machine
;
but
the
Wisdom
of
the
House
did
not
rise
so
high
as
to
strike
at
the
uppermost
branches
,
but
they
pruned
those
roundly
they
could
reach
.
Buckingham
,
though
he
were
well
grown
,
had
not
yet
sap
enough
to
make
himself
swell
into
exuberancy
,
as
he
did
afterwards
,
nor
was
the
peoples
malice
now
against
him
so
fertile
,
as
to
make
every
little
weed
,
a
dangerous
and
poysonous
plant
,
being
subtile
enough
(
yet
)
to
crop
off
any
,
that
might
appear
venomous
in
relation
to
himself
,
that
the
mischievous
operations
might
work
upon
others
:
For
all
the
world
knew
Mompesson
was
his
creature
,
and
that
notwithstanding
the
King's
Proclamation
for
his
interception
,
he
got
out
of
the
Kingdom
by
his
Key
:
For
Buckingham
ruled
as
a
Lord
Paramount
,
and
those
that
complied
with
him
found
as
much
refuge
as
his
power
could
secure
unto
them
;
those
that
opposed
him
,
as
much
mischief
as
malice
could
pour
upon
them
.
Sir
Henry
Yelverton
the
King's
Attorney
had
found
the
effects
of
his
Anger
,
by
not
closing
with
his
desires
in
such
Patents
as
he
required
;
so
that
all
his
Actions
being
anatomized
,
some
miscarriages
are
made
criminal
,
he
is
committed
to
the
Tower
,
and
another
put
in
his
place
that
should
be
more
observant
.
The
King
now
lays
upon
him
a
Warrant
Dormant
,
which
did
not
much
startle
him
;
for
he
was
not
long
after
released
and
made
a
Iudge
,
carrying
with
him
this
character
of
honesty
,
That
he
was
willing
to
lay
down
his
preferment
at
the
King's
feet
,
and
be
trod
upon
by
the
growing
power
of
Buckingham
,
rather
than
prosecute
his
Patron
Somerset
,
that
had
advanced
him
,
as
his
Predecessor
Bacon
had
spitefully
done
his
.
But
whether
that
Dialogue
betwixt
Buckingham
and
Yelverton
in
the
Tower
,
mentioned
in
our
King's
Court
,
have
any
thing
of
Truth
,
cannot
be
asserted
here
,
Buckingham
being
not
arrived
yet
to
the
Meridian
height
of
his
Greatness
,
though
the
King
afterwards
had
cause
enough
to
be
jealous
of
his
Actions
.
But
now
comes
the
old
Iustice
,
Michel
censured
.
Sir
Francis
Michell
,
to
his
Censure
,
and
the
crime
he
had
committed
arguing
a
base
spirit
,
he
is
fitted
with
as
suitable
a
punishment
.
First
he
is
degraded
,
with
all
the
ceremonies
of
debasement
;
but
that
being
most
proper
to
his
nature
,
he
was
but
eased
of
a
burthen
,
his
mind
suffered
not
;
but
then
his
kecksie
carkass
was
made
to
ride
Renvers
with
his
face
to
the
horse
tail
(
with
a
p●per
on
his
breast
and
back
,
that
pointed
at
the
foulness
of
the
cause
)
through
the
whole
City
,
suffering
under
the
scorn
,
and
contempt
of
Boys
,
and
rabble
of
the
people
,
besides
the
squeezing
of
him
by
fine
and
confinement
to
prison
,
that
he
might
never
be
more
capable
of
mischief
.
The
same
sentence
had
Sir
Giles
Mompesson
,
but
he
was
so
provident
as
not
to
be
found
to
pay
it
in
his
person
,
though
he
paid
it
in
his
purse
.
Some
others
also
,
their
Instruments
,
though
not
so
sharply
dealt
with
,
had
great
mulcts
laid
upon
them
according
to
their
demerit
,
and
so
this
Gangrene
was
healed
up
.

CVLTOR
DEFVNCTI
ADMIRATOR
H.
P.
This
poor
Gentleman
,
mounted
above
pity
,
fell
down
below
it
,
His
Tongue
,
that
was
the
glory
of
his
time
for
Eloquence
,
(
that
tuned
so
many
sweet
Harrangues
)
was
like
a
forsaken
Harp
,
hung
upon
the
Willows
,
whilst
the
waters
of
affliction
overflowed
the
banks
.
And
now
his
high-flying
Orations
are
humbled
to
Supplications
,
and
thus
he
throws
himself
,
and
Cause
,
at
the
feet
of
his
Iudges
,
before
he
was
condemned
.
To
the
Right
Honourable
the
Lords
of
the
Parliament
,
in
the
Upper
House
assembled
,
The
humble
Submission
and
Supplication
of
the
Lord
Chancellor
.
May
it
please
your
Lordships
I
Shall
humbly
crave
at
your
hands
a
benign
interpretation
of
that
which
I
shall
now
write
:
His
Supplication
.
for
words
that
come
from
wasted
spirits
,
and
oppressed
minds
,
are
more
safe
,
in
being
deposited
to
a
noble
construction
,
than
being
circled
with
any
reserved
caution
.
This
being
moved
(
and
as
I
hope
,
obtained
of
your
Lordships
)
as
a
protection
to
all
that
I
shall
say
,
I
shall
go
on
;
but
with
a
very
strange
Entrance
,
as
may
seem
to
your
Lordships
at
first
:
for
in
the
midst
of
a
State
,
of
as
great
affliction
,
as
I
think
a
mortal
man
can
endure
(
Honour
being
above
Life
)
I
shall
begin
with
the
professing
of
gladness
in
somethings
.
The
first
is
,
That
hereafter
the
greatness
of
a
Iudge
,
or
Magistrate
,
shall
be
no
sanctuary
,
or
protection
to
him
against
guiltiness
,
which
is
the
beginning
of
a
golden
work
.
The
next
.
That
after
this
Example
,
it
is
like
that
Iudges
will
fly
from
any
thing
in
the
likeness
of
Corruption
(
though
it
were
at
a
great
distance
)
as
from
a
Serpent
:
Which
tends
to
the
purging
of
the
Courts
of
Iustice
,
and
reducing
them
to
their
true
honour
,
and
splendor
.
And
in
these
two
Points
(
God
is
my
witness
)
though
it
be
my
fortune
to
be
the
Anvil
upon
which
these
two
effects
are
broken
and
wrought
,
I
take
no
small
comfort
.
But
to
pass
from
the
motions
of
my
heart
,
(
whereof
of
God
is
my
Iudge
)
to
the
merits
of
my
cause
,
whereof
your
Lordships
are
Iudges
,
under
God
and
his
Lieutenant
;
I
do
understand
,
there
hath
been
heretofore
expected
from
me
some
justification
;
and
therefore
I
have
chosen
one
only
justification
,
instead
of
all
others
,
out
of
the
justification
of
Iob.
For
after
the
clear
submission
and
confession
which
I
shall
now
make
unto
your
Lordships
,
I
hope
I
may
say
and
justifie
with
Iob
,
in
these
words
,
I
have
not
hid
my
sin
,
as
did
Adam
,
nor
concealed
my
faults
in
my
bosom
.
This
is
the
only
justification
which
I
will
use
.
It
resteth
therefore
,
that
without
Fig-leaves
,
I
do
ingenuously
confess
,
and
acknowledge
,
that
having
understood
the
Particulars
of
the
Charge
,
not
formally
from
the
House
,
but
enough
to
inform
my
conscience
and
memory
,
I
find
matter
sufficient
,
and
full
,
both
to
move
me
to
desert
my
defence
,
and
to
move
your
Lordships
to
condemn
and
censure
me
.
Neither
will
I
trouble
your
Lordships
,
by
singling
those
Particulars
,
which
I
think
might
fall
off
.
Quid
te
exempla
juvant
spinis
de
pluribus
Uva
?
Neither
will
I
prompt
your
Lordships
to
observe
upon
the
proofs
,
where
they
come
not
home
,
or
the
scruple
touching
the
credits
of
the
Witnesses
.
Neither
will
I
represent
to
your
Lordships
,
how
far
a
defence
might
in
divers
things
extenuate
the
offence
,
in
respect
of
the
time
,
and
manner
of
the
guilt
,
or
the
like
circumstances
:
But
only
leave
these
things
to
spring
out
of
your
more
noble
thoughts
,
and
observations
of
the
Evidence
,
and
examinations
themselves
;
and
charitably
to
wind
about
the
Particulars
of
the
Charge
,
here
and
there
,
as
God
shall
put
into
your
minds
,
and
so
submit
my self
wholly
to
your
piety
and
grace
.
And
now
I
have
spoken
to
your
Lordships
as
Iudges
,
I
shall
say
a
few
words
unto
you
as
Peers
and
Prelates
,
humbly
commending
my
Cause
to
your
noble
minds
,
and
magnanimous
affections
.
Your
Lordships
are
not
simply
Iudges
,
but
Parliamentary
Iudges
;
you
have
a
further
extent
of
Arbitrary
Power
than
other
Courts
;
and
if
you
be
not
tied
by
ordinary
course
of
Courts
,
or
Precedents
in
Points
of
strictn●ss
and
severity
,
much
less
in
Points
of
mercy
and
mitigation
.
And
yet
if
any
thing
which
I
shall
move
,
might
be
contrary
to
your
honourable
and
worthy
end
(
the
introducing
a
Reformation
)
I
should
not
seek
it
;
but
herein
I
besech
your
Lordships
to
give
me
leave
to
tell
you
a
Story
.
Titus
Manlius
took
his
Son's
life
,
for
giving
Battail
against
the
prohibition
of
his
General
.
Not
many
years
after
,
the
l●ke
severity
was
pursued
by
Papirius
Cursor
the
Dictator
,
against
Quintus
Maximus
;
who
being
upon
the
point
to
be
sentenced
was
by
the
intercession
of
some
particular
persons
of
the
Senate
,
spared
.
Whereupon
Livy
maketh
this
grave
and
gracious
observation
,
Neque
minùs
firmata
est
Disciplina
Militaris
,
periculo
Quinti
Maximi
,
quàm
miserabili
supplicio
Titi
Manlii
;
The
Discipline
of
War
was
no
less
established
by
the
questioning
of
Quintus
Maximus
,
than
by
the
punishment
of
Titus
Manlius
.
And
the
same
reason
is
in
the
Reformation
of
Iustice
:
For
the
questioning
of
men
in
eminent
Places
,
hath
the
same
terrour
,
though
not
the
same
rigour
with
the
punishment
.
But
my
Cause
stays
not
there
:
for
my
humble
desire
is
,
that
his
Majesty
would
take
the
Seal
into
his
hands
,
which
is
a
great
downfall
,
and
may
serve
I
hope
in
it self
for
an
expiation
of
my
faults
.
Therefore
if
mercy
and
mitigation
be
in
your
Lordships
power
,
and
no
way
cross
your
Ends
,
why
should
I
n●t
hope
of
your
favour
and
commiseration
?
Your
Lordships
will
be
pleased
to
behold
your
chief
pattern
,
the
King
our
Soveraign
,
a
King
of
incomparable
clemency
,
and
whose
heart
is
inscrutable
for
wisdom
and
goodness
.
And
your
Lordships
will
remember
,
there
sate
not
these
hundred
years
before
a
Prince
in
your
House
,
and
never
such
a
Prince
,
whose
presence
deserveth
to
be
made
memorable
by
Records
&
Acts
,
mixt
of
mercy
and
justice
.
Your selves
are
either
Nobles
(
and
Compassion
ever
beateth
in
the
veins
of
noble
blood
)
or
Reverend
Prelates
,
who
are
the
Servants
of
him
that
would
not
bre●k
the
bruised
Reed
,
nor
quench
the
smoking
Flax.
You
all
sit
upon
a
high
Stage
,
and
therefore
cannot
but
be
sensible
of
the
changes
of
humane
conditions
,
and
of
the
fall
of
any
from
high
place
.
Neither
will
your
Lordships
forget
,
Extortion
and
Bribery
the
Vices
of
the
Times
.
that
there
are
Vitia
Temporis
,
as
well
as
Vitia
Hominis
;
and
the
beginning
of
Reformation
hath
the
contrary
power
to
the
pool
of
Bethesda
;
for
that
had
strength
to
cure
him
only
that
was
first
cast
in
,
and
this
hath
strength
to
hurt
him
only
that
is
first
cast
in
:
And
for
my
part
,
I
wish
it
may
stay
there
,
and
go
no
further
.
Lastly
,
I
assure
my self
your
Lordships
have
a
noble
feeling
of
me
,
as
a
Member
of
your
own
Body
,
and
one
that
in
this
very
Session
,
had
some
taste
of
your
loving
Affections
,
which
I
hope
was
not
a
lightning
before
the
death
of
them
,
but
rather
a
spark
of
that
Grace
,
which
now
in
the
Conclusion
will
more
appear
.
And
therefore
my
humble
sute
to
your
Lordships
is
,
That
my
penitent
submission
may
be
my
sentence
,
the
loss
of
my
Seal
my
punishment
,
and
that
your
Lordships
would
recommend
me
to
his
Majestie
's
Grace
and
Pardon
for
all
that
is
past
.
God's
holy
Spirit
be
among
you
.
Your
Lordships
humble
servant
,
and
suppliant

St.
Albans
Can.
April
22.
1621.
Thus
was
his
great
spirit
brought
low
,
His
censure
.
and
this
humiliation
might
have
raised
him
up
again
,
if
his
offences
had
not
been
so
weighty
as
to
keep
him
down
.
He
lost
his
Peerage
and
Seal
,
and
the
Scale
was
wavering
whether
he
should
carry
the
Title
of
Viscount
St.
Albans
to
his
grave
,
and
that
was
all
he
did
;
having
only
left
a
poor
empty
being
,
which
lasted
not
long
with
him
,
his
honor
dying
before
him
.
And
to
heighten
his
misery
the
more
,
many
others
were
crushed
to
pieces
by
his
fall
;
for
he
had
a
vast
debt
lay
upon
him
,
which
they
were
forced
to
pay
;
and
though
he
had
a
Pension
allowed
him
by
the
King
,
he
wanted
to
his
last
,
living
obscurely
in
his
Lodgings
at
Grays-Inn
,
where
his
loneness
and
desolate
condition
,
wrought
upon
his
ingenious
,
and
therefore
then
more
melancholy
temper
,
that
he
pined
away
.
And
had
this
unhappiness
after
all
his
height
of
plenitude
,
to
be
denied
Beer
to
quench
his
thirst
:
For
having
a
sickly
taste
,
he
did
not
like
the
Beer
of
the
house
,
but
sent
to
Sir
Fulk
Grevil
,
Lord
Brook
,
in
neighborhood
(
now
and
then
)
for
a
bottle
of
his
Beer
,
and
after
some
grumbling
,
the
Butler
had
order
to
deny
him
.
So
sordid
was
the
one
,
that
advanced
himself
to
be
called
Sir
Philip
Sidnie's
friend
,
and
so
friendless
was
the
other
,
after
he
had
dejected
himself
from
what
he
was
.
He
was
of
a
midling
stature
,
His
description
and
character
.
his
countenance
had
indented
with
Age
before
he
was
old
;
his
Presence
grave
and
comely
;
of
a
high-flying
and
lively
Wit
,
striving
in
some
things
to
be
rather
admired
than
understood
,
yet
so
quick
and
easie
where
he
would
express
himself
,
and
his
Memory
so
strong
and
active
,
that
he
appeared
the
Master
of
a
large
and
plenteous
store-house
of
Knowledge
,
being
(
as
it
were
)
Nature's
Midwife
,
stripping
her
Callow-brood
,
and
clothing
them
in
new
Attire
.
His
Wit
was
quick
to
the
last
;
for
Gondemar
meeting
him
the
Lent
before
his
Censure
,
and
hearing
of
his
Miscarriages
,
thought
to
pay
him
with
his
Spanish
Sarcasms
and
Scoffs
,
saying
,
My
Lord
,
I
wish
you
a
good
Easter
;
And
you
my
Lord
,
replied
the
Chancellor
,
a
good
Passover
:
For
he
could
neither
close
with
his
English
Buffoonry
,
nor
his
Spanish
Treaty
(
which
Gondemar
knew
)
though
he
was
so
wise
as
publickly
to
oppose
neither
.
In
fine
,
he
was
a
fit
Iewel
to
have
beautified
,
and
adorned
a
flourishing
Kingdom
,
if
his
flaws
had
not
disgraced
the
lustre
that
should
have
set
him
off
.

Viscount

Wardes

Are
to

sould
by
Iohn
Hinde
In
this
very
time
of
Parliament
,
when
the
King
carried
all
things
with
a
full
sail
,
the
Pilots
of
the
Commonwealth
had
an
eye
to
the
dangers
that
lay
in
the
way
;
for
in
both
Houses
the
King
had
a
strong
Party
,
especially
in
the
House
of
Lords
:
All
the
Courtiers
,
and
most
of
the
Bishops
steer'd
by
his
Compass
,
and
the
Princes
presence
(
who
was
a
constant
Member
)
did
cast
an
awe
among
many
of
them
,
Parties
in
Parliament
.
yet
there
were
some
gallant
Spirits
that
aimed
at
the
publick
Liberty
more
then
their
own
interest
.
If
any
thing
were
spoken
in
the
House
that
did
in
the
least
reflect
upon
the
Government
,
or
touch
(
as
the
Courtiers
thought
)
that
Noli
me
tangere
,
the
Prerogative
,
those
that
moved
in
it
were
snapt
up
by
them
,
though
many
times
they
met
with
stout
encounters
at
their
own
Weapon
;
among
which
the
Principal
were
,
Henry
Earl
of
Oxford
,
Henry
Earl
of
Southampton
,
Robert
Earl
of
Essex
,
Robert
Earl
of
Warwick
,
the
Lord
Say
,
the
Lord
Spencer
,
and
divers
others
,
that
supported
the
Old
English
Honour
,
and
would
not
let
it
fall
to
the
ground
.
Oxford
was
of
no
reputation
in
his
youth
,
being
very
debauched
and
riotous
,
and
having
no
means
,
maintained
it
by
fordid
and
unworthy
ways
;
for
his
Father
hopeless
of
Heirs
,
in
discontent
with
his
Wife
,
squandred
away
a
Princely
Estate
,
but
when
she
and
his
great
Fortune
were
both
gone
,
he
married
a
young
Lady
of
the
ancient
family
of
the
Trenthams
,
by
whom
he
had
this
young
Lord
,
and
two
Daughters
;
she
having
a
fortune
of
her
own
,
and
industry
with
it
,
after
her
Husband's
death
married
her
Daughters
into
two
noble
Families
;
the
Earl
of
Mountgomery
married
the
one
,
and
the
Lord
Norris
,
after
Earl
of
Berk-shire
married
the
other
:
And
finding
her
Son
hopeless
,
let
him
run
his
swing
till
he
grew
weary
of
it
;
and
thinking
he
could
not
be
worse
in
other
Countries
than
he
had
been
in
his
own
,
she
sent
him
to
travel
,
to
try
if
change
of
Air
would
change
his
Humour
.
He
was
not
abroad
in
France
and
Italy
above
three
years
,
and
the
freedoms
and
extravagancies
there
(
that
are
able
to
betray
and
insnare
the
greatest
modesties
)
put
such
a
Bridle
upon
his
inordinateness
,
that
look
how
much
before
he
was
decried
for
a
mean
and
poor
spirit
,
so
much
had
his
noble
and
gallant
comportment
there
gained
,
that
he
came
over
refined
in
every
esteem
;
and
such
a
Valuation
was
set
upon
his
parts
and
merit
,
that
he
married
the
Lady
Diana
Cecil
,
Daughter
to
the
Earl
of
Exeter
,
one
of
the
most
eminent
Beauties
and
Fortunes
of
the
time
.
Southampton
,
though
he
were
one
of
the
King
's
Privy
Councel
,
yet
was
he
no
great
Courtier
;
Salisbury
kept
him
at
a
bay
,
&
pinched
him
so
by
reason
of
his
relation
to
old
Essex
,
that
he
never
flourished
much
in
his
time
,
nor
was
his
spirit
(
after
him
)
so
smooth
shod
,
as
to
go
always
the
Court
pace
;
but
that
now
and
then
he
would
make
a
Carrier
that
was
not
very
acceptable
to
them
:
for
he
carried
his
business
closely
and
slily
,
and
was
rather
an
Adviser
than
an
Actor
.
Essex
had
ever
an
honest
Heart
,
and
though
Nature
had
not
given
him
Eloquence
,
he
had
a
strong
reason
that
did
express
him
better
;
his
Countenance
to
those
that
knew
him
not
appeared
somewhat
stern
,
and
solemn
,
to
intimates
affable
and
gentle
,
to
the
Females
obligingly
courteous
,
and
though
unfortunate
in
some
,
yet
highly
respected
of
most
,
happily
to
vindicate
the
Vertue
of
the
Sex
.
The
King
never
affected
him
,
whether
from
the
bent
of
his
Natural
inclination
to
effeminate
faces
,
or
whether
from
that
instinct
or
secret
Prediction
that
Divine
fate
often
imprints
in
the
apprehension
,
whereby
he
did
fore-see
in
him
(
as
it
were
)
a
hand
raised
up
against
his
Posterity
,
may
be
a
Notation
,
not
a
determination
:
But
the
King
never
liked
him
,
nor
could
he
close
with
the
Court.

though
he
had
all
those
excellent
indowments
of
Body
and
fortune
,
that
gives
splendor
to
a
glorious
Court
,
yet
he
used
it
but
as
his
Recreation
;
for
his
Spirit
aimed
at
more
publick
adventures
,
planting
Colonies
in
the
Western
World
,
rather
than
himself
in
the
King's
favour
:
his
Brother
Sir
Henry
Rich
(
about
this
time
made
Ba●on
of
Kensington
)
and
he
had
been
in
their
youths
two
emulous
Corrivals
in
the
publick
affections
,
the
one's
browness
being
accounted
a
lovely
sweetness
transcending
most
men
,
the
other
's
features
and
pleasant
aspect
equalled
the
most
beautiful
Women
;
the
younger
having
all
the
Dimensions
of
a
Courtier
,
laid
all
the
Stock
of
his
Fortune
upon
that
Soil
,
which
after
some
years
Patience
came
up
with
increase
;
but
the
Elder
could
not
so
stoop
to
observances
,
and
thereby
became
his

Supporter

his
Temper
and
Constitution
ballancing
him
altogether
on
that
Side
,
which
was
contrary
to
the

so
that
he
seldom
tackt
about
or
went

kept
his
Course
steady
in

way
a
long
time

yet
it
appeared
afterwards
,
when
the
harshness
of
the
humour
was
a
little
allayed
by
the
sweet
Refreshments
of
Court
favours
,
that
those
stern
Comportments
supposed
natural
,
might
be
mitigated
,
and
that
indomitable

by
gentle
usage
may
be
tamed

There
were
many
other
noble
Patriots
concentrique
with
these
,
which
like
Jewels
should
be
preserved
and
kept
in
the
Cabinet
of
every
man's
memory
,
being
Ornaments
for
Posterity
to
put
on
;
but
their
Characters
would
make
the
line
too
long
,
and
the
Bracelet
too
big
to
adorn
this
Story
.
About
this
time
Spencer
was
speaking
something
in
the
House
that
their
great
Ancestors
did
,
Spencer
and
Arundel
quarrel
.
which
displeased
Arundel
,
and
he
cuts
him
off
short
,
saying
,
My
Lord
,
when
these
things
you
speak
of
were
doing
,
your
Ancestors
were
keeping
sheep
,
(
twitting
him
with
his
Flocks
which
he
took
delight
in
:
)
Spencer
instantly
replied
,
When
my
Ancestors
(
as
you
say
)
were
keeping
sheep
,
your
Ancestors
were
plotting
Treason
.
This
hit
Arundel
home
,
and
it
grew
to
some
heat
in
the
House
,
whereupon
they
were
separated
,
and
commanded
both
out
of
the
House
,
and
the
Lords
began
to
consider
of
the
offence
.
There
was
much
bandying
by
the
Court
-
Party
,
to
excuse
the
Earl
of
Arundel
,
but
the
heat
and
rash
part
of
it
beginning
with
him
,
laying
such
a
brand
upon
a
Peer
that
was
nobly
descended
,
he
could
not
be
justified
,
but
was
enjoyned
by
the
House
to
give
the
Lord
Spencer
such
satisfaction
as
they
prescribed
;
Arundel
committed
.
which
his
Greatness
refusing
to
obey
,
he
was
by
the
Lords
sent
Prisoner
to
the
Tower
,
and
Spencer
re-admitted
into
the
House
again
.
When
Arundle
was
well
cooled
in
the
Tower
,
and
found
that
no
Power
would
give
him
Liberty
,
but
that
which
had
restrained
him
,
(
rather
blaming
his
rashness
,
than
excusing
his
stubborness
)
his
great
Heart
humbled
it self
to
the
Lords
,
betwixt
a
Letter
and
a
Petition
in
these
words
.
To
the
Right
Honourable
,
the
Lords
Spiritual
and
Temporal
,
in
the
Higher
House
of
Parliament
assembled
.
May
it
please
your
Lordships
,
WHere
as
I
stand
committed
here
by
your
Lordships
Order
,
His
Submission
.
for
having
stood
upon
performing
some
part
of
that
which
was
injoined
me
by
your
Lordships
;
which
I
did
rather
in
respect
the
time
was
short
for
advice
,
than
out
of
any
intent
to
disobey
the
House
,
for
which
I
have
suffered
in
this
place
till
now
:
I
do
therefore
humbly
beseech
your
Lordships
to
construe
of
what
is
past
,
according
to
this
my
profession
,
and
for
the
time
to
come
to
believe
that
I
both
understand
so
well
your
Lordships
power
to
command
,
and
your
nobleness
and
tenderness
to
consider
what
is
fit
,
as
I
do
,
and
will
wholly
put
myself
upon
your
Honors
,
and
perform
what
is
,
or
shall
be
injoyned
me
.
So
beseeching
your
Lordships
to
construe
these
lines
,
as
proceeding
from
a
heart
ready
to
obey
you
in
what
you
command
,
I
rest
Your
Lordships
most
humble
Servant
Thomas
Arundle
Tower
2
June
1621.
Upon
this
submission
the
Lords
commanded
him
to
be
sent
for
,
and
presenting
himself
at
the
Bar
of
the
House
,
with
the
accustomed
Humility
that
Offenders
do
,
he
thus
expressed
himself
,
Because
I
have
committed
a
fault
against
this
House
,
in
not
obeying
all
the
Order
that
your
Lordships
commanded
me
,
I
do
here
acknowledg
this
my
fault
,
and
ask
your
Lordships
pardon
for
the
same
,
and
am
ready
to
obey
all
your
Lordships
commands
.
Thus
this
great
Lord
(
though
he
fluttered
in
the
Air
of
the
Court
,
and
mounted
by
that
means
upon
the
Wings
of
Passion
)
was
glad
to
stoop
when
consideration
lured
him
to
it
,
lest
by
the
heat
that
he
himself
made
(
melting
the
Waxen
Plumes
that
he
thought
would
have
supported
him
)
his
suffering
might
have
been
a
greater
mischief
to
him
than
his
submission
:
so
sour
and
severe
a
School-master
is
Passion
,
to
be
both
Author
and
Punisher
of
our
Errors
:
yea
,
making
the
best
Natures
(
often
)
correct
themselves
most
.

King
being
to
go
his
Progress
,
wherein
some
Lords
,
and
others
of
the
Parliament
were
to
attend
him
:
For
it
seems
his
business
was
not
yet
ripe
for
the
Parliament
,
and
he
was
loth
they
should
have
too
much
leisure
,
therefore
they
were
not
to
meet
again
till
the
eighth
of
February
following
;
which
being
a
long
time
of
Vacancy
,
the
House
of
Commons
before
they
parted
took
the
Miseries
of
the
Palatinate
into
serious
debate
;
and
though
they
felt
the
King's
pulse
,
and
knew
the
beat
of
his
thought
,
when
he
spake
of
providing
an
Army
this
Summer
for
the
recovery
of
it
,
and
would
engage
his
Crown
,
Blood
,
and
Soul
for
it
(
finding
him
apt
to
say
what
he
had
no
will
to
do
)
yet
they
were
so
wise
as
not
to
slacken
or
draw
back
in
so
good
a
work
;
that
if
there
were
a
failing
,
it
should
not
be
on
their
side
,
knowing
how
much
Religion
was
concerned
in
it
(
for
to
the
appearance
of
Reason
,
the
triumphing
Emperor
,
and
Universal
King
,
would
quickly
tread
all
under
foot
)
therefore
with
one
voice
(
none
daring
to
oppose
)
they
made
this
Declaration
.
THe
Commons
assembled
in
Parliament
,
The
Commons
Declaration
.
taking
into
most
serious
consideration
the
present
state
of
the
King's
Children
abroad
,
and
generally
afflicted
estate
of
the
true
Professors
of
the
same
Christian
Religion
,
professed
by
the
Church
of
England
in
Forreign
Parts
,
and
being
touched
with
a
true
sence
and
fellow-feeling
of
their
distresses
,
as
Members
of
the
same
Body
,
do
with
unanimous
consent
,
in
the
name
of
themselves
and
the
whole
Body
of
the
Kingdom
(
whom
they
represent
)
declare
unto
his
most
excellent
Majesty
,
and
to
the
whole
World
,
their
hearty
grief
and
sorrow
for
the
same
;
and
do
not
only
joyn
with
them
in
their
humble
and
Devout
Prayers
unto
Almighty
God
,
to
protect
his
true
Church
,
and
to
avert
the
Dangers
now
threatned
,
but
also
with
one
heart
,
and
voice
do
solemnly
protest
;
That
if
his
Majestie
▪
s
pious
endeavours
by
Treaty
,
to
procure
their
Peace
and
Safety
,
shall
not
take
that
good
effect
which
is
desired
in
Treaty
,
(
wherefore
they
humbly
beseech
his
Majesty
not
to
suffer
any
longer
delay
)
that
then
upon
signification
of
his
Majestie
▪
s
pleasure
in
Parliament
,
they
shall
be
ready
to
the
utmost
of
their
Powers
,
both
with
their
lives
and
fortunes
,
to
assist
him
so
,
as
that
by
the
Divine
Help
of
Almighty
God
(
which
is
never
wanting
unto
those
who
in
his
fear
,
shall
undertake
the
defence
of
his
own
Cau●e
)
he
may
be
able
to
do
that
with
his
Sword
,
which
by
a
peaceable
Course
shall
not
be
effected
.
The
King
took
this
Declaration
of
the
Commons
in
very
good
Part
,
The
King
pleased
with
it
.
and
meant
when
occasion
served
to
make
good
use
of
it
:
For
as
he
found
them
forward
enough
to
begin
a
War
,
so
he
knew
his
own
constitution
backward
enough
(
the
Sword
being
in
his
Hand
)
and
did
fore-see
an
advantage
arising
from
a
Medium
betwixt
the
Parliament
and
him
,
if
he
could
bring
his
Ends
about
,
which
he
after
put
in
practice
;
but
it
broke
all
to
pieces
and
now
away
he
goes
on
his
Progress
.
Towards
Winter
the
Lord
Digby
returns
from
his
soliciting
journey
in
Germany
;
His
first
addresses
he
made
to
the
Emperour
,
his
second
to
the
Duke
of
Bavaria
,
and
his
last
to
the
Infanta
at
Bruxels
,
and
all
to
as
little
purpose
as
if
he
had
stayed
at
home
;
that
three-fold
Cord
,
twisted
by
the
power
of
Spain
,
was
not
easily
to
be
broken
.
Some
little
twilight
and
scintil
of
Hope
,
was
given
him
by
the
Emperour
for
restitution
of
the
Palatinate
,
yet
not
so
much
as
would
discover
the
error
of
our
easie
belief
:
But
the
Bavarian
had
already
swallowed
the
Electurate
,
and
his
Voraginous
appetite
gaped
after
the
possession
of
the
Countrey
,
though
the
English
there
were
bones
in
his
way
.
Digby
being
arrived
at
Court
,
Dighie's
return
.
and
bringing
him
with
doubtful
answers
from
the
Emperour
,
and
sullen
ones
from
the
Duke
of
Bavaria
,
the
King
thought
it
good
Policy
to
shorten
the
long
Recess
till
February
,
and
to
re-assemble
the
Parliament
the
20
th
of
November
,
that
meeting
before
their
Time
,
it
might
more
amaze
them
,
and
intimate
some
extraordinary
Cause
,
which
happily
might
produce
some
extraordinary
effect
if
well
mannag'd
.
And
as
incident
thereunto
,
he
gave
order
to
Digby
as
soon
as
the
Parliament
assembled
,
to
make
relation
to
the
Houses
of
his
proceedings
there
,
which
he
did
in
these
words
.
IT
pleased
his
Majesty
to
command
me
to
give
you
an
account
of
my
last
Foreign
Negotiation
with
the
Emperour
;
His
Relation
to
the
Parliament
who
(
you
know
)
being
much
exasperated
with
the
invasion
of
Bohemia
(
to
which
the
King
never
gave
incouragement
in
the
attempt
,
nor
countenance
in
the
Prosecution
)
hath
upon
the
advantage
of
his
fortunate
success
there
,
invaded
into
the
inheritance
of
his
Son
the
Palatine
:
Whereupon
I
was
directed
by
his
Majestie
's
Commission
to
treat
if
Peace
might
be
compassed
with
fair
endeavours
,
to
which
the
Emperour
seemed
very
inclinable
.
Albeit
,
slow
in
giving
Audience
,
by
reason
that
the
Diet
in
Germany
was
deferred
,
and
he
depended
upon
some
answer
from
the
Princes
.
But
in
conclusion
,
I
received
such
satisfaction
,
as
promised
Restitution
of
the
Palatinate
,
which
only
was
granted
by
Commission
to
the
Duke
of
Bavaria
,
until
it
was
setled
by
absolute
Peace
,
or
further
War
.
And
being
addressed
by
the
Emperour
with
Letters
to
the
Duke
of
Bavaria
,
wherein
he
wished
his
tractable
condescent
to
all
good
Terms
of
Peace
;
Upon
which
occasion
I
urged
,
that
I
had
Authority
from
the
Count
Palatin●e
,
to
cause
the
Count
Mansfield
to
desist
from
War
,
and
likewise
from
the
King
to
his
Body
of
War
under
the
Government
of
Sir
Horatio
Vere
.
The
Duke
of
Bavaria
replied
,
That
he
had
becalmed
Mansfield
with
great
sums
of
money
,
and
when
he
is
quiet
,
my
Peace
is
made
.
To
which
scornful
and
slight
reply
somthing
I
answered
,
and
departed
to
the
Infanta
to
Bruxels
,
who
seemed
to
understand
by
the
Emperour's
Letters
,
that
he
did
rather
prepare
for
War
then
Peace
,
and
would
give
no
direct
answer
till
she
heard
from
the
King
of
Spain
,
who
I
must
ingenuously
confess
,
hath
stood
clear
a
Neutral
,
according
to
his
promise
:
Yet
is
he
now
so
strong
prepared
for
War
(
having
at
this
instant
five
great
Armies
in
motion
)
that
it
will
not
mis-become
the
wisdom
of
the
State
to
fear
the
worst
:
And
to
conclude
,
such
hath
been
the
care
of
the
King
for
his
own
Honour
,
and
Son
's
Right
,
that
he
presumes
you
will
cheerfully
apply
your selves
to
the
necessity
of
the
Times
,
and
this
occasion
;
and
not
only
afford
him
aid
for
his
present
support
,
but
such
further
supply
as
may
help
to
re-invest
his
Son
into
his
inheritance
.
Which
Relation
of
Digbie's
being
seconded
by
some
of
the
King
's
great
Minister
of
State
,
Seconded
.
(
who
had
instructions
suitable
to
their
Errand
)
they
let
the
Parliament
know
,
how
justly
and
necessary
it
was
,
and
how
forward
the
King
would
be
to
accomplish
that
by
War
,
which
he
could
not
recover
by
Peace
;
and
they
set
it
off
with
all
the
slippery
Oratory
they
could
to
draw
in
money
;
for
that
being
the
main
ingredient
,
if
that
were
provided
,
the
rest
of
the
simples
would
easily
be
purchased
,
to
make
up
the
Composition
.
Thus
the
Kings
suits
and
intreaties
were
slighted
,
and
disregarded
abroad
;
and
his
intentions
suspected
,
and
feared
at
home
.
Princes
that
do
grasp
Possessions
with
iron
hands
,
will
not
be
smoothed
out
of
them
by
fair
words
;
the
Sword
,
as
it
is
the
best
determiner
,
so
it
is
the
most
honourable
Treater
:
And
though
the
King
incited
the
Parliament
by
these
his
Ministers
to
contribute
towards
a
War
,
The
King
prevails
not
abroad
nor
at
home
.
yet
they
found
his
inclination
bent
towards
Peace
,
both
in
respect
of
Gondemar's
power
with
him
(
upon
whose
sandy
promises
he
built
a
good
Foundation
of
Hope
)
and
in
regard
of
some
Letters
which
the
King
had
lately
written
to
the
King
of
Spain
,
wherein
great
indulgencies
were
promised
to
the
Papists
,
whereby
they
saw
he
was
too
much
transported
with
a
desire
to
the
Match
:
And
the
King
,
finding
Digbie's
indeavours
fruitless
in
Germany
,
intended
to
send
him
into
Spain
,
extraordinary
Ambassador
to
that
King
whom
he
looked
upon
as
the
great
Wheel
that
moved
the
others
which
way
he
pleased
.
For
he
was
resolved
to
close
some
way
with
the
House
of
Austria
,
either
by
Marriage
or
intreaty
,
to
peece
and
make
up
the
Breach
the
War
had
made
.
But
the
King
had
to
do
with
cunning
Gamesters
that
smiled
to
see
how
earnest
he
was
at
it
,
for
they
had
the
sign
given
out
of
his
hand
,
and
saw
all
the
Game
he
played
,
so
faithless
was
the
Councel
about
him
!
The
English
in
general
,
The
People
and
Parliament
against
the
Match
.
except
Papists
,
were
averse
to
this
Match
,
as
boding
some
evil
event
,
because
the
Papists
did
prune
themselves
,
flutter
up
and
down
,
and
spread
their
Trains
so
publickly
:
This
almost
universal
aversation
of
the
people
had
a
natural
influence
upon
the
Representative
,
the
Parliament
;
who
considering
that
the
King
(
by
Digby
and
others
)
did
inform
them
how
formidable
the
King
of
Spain
was
,
and
did
require
them
to
apply
themselves
to
the
necessity
of
the
Times
,
and
further
him
with
help
to
re-invest
his
Son
in
his
Inheritance
,
thought
there
was
no
better
means
to
be
used
than
to
try
effectually
the
King's
Spirit
,
and
stir
him
up
to
a
war
;
for
so
they
should
know
which
way
their
Money
went
,
at
leastwise
his
mind
,
before
they
tamely
parted
with
it
.
And
therefore
(
like
wise
Physicians
that
never
prescribe
letting
blood
,
but
when
it
tends
to
the
health
of
the
Body
)
first
they
shew
the
Causes
of
the
Distempers
and
Evils
that
were
to
be
feared
.
Secondly
,
what
effects
they
were
likely
to
produce
.
And
lastly
,
the
Remedies
to
prevent
them
,
in
this
Petition
and
Remonstrance
.
Most
Gracious
and
dread
Soveraign
,
WE
your
Majestie
's
most
humble
and
loyal
Subjects
,
A
Remonstrance
of
the
House
of
Commons
.
the
Knights
,
Citizens
,
and
Burgesses
,
now
assembled
in
Parliament
,
who
represent
the
Commons
of
your
Realm
,
full
of
hearty
sorrow
to
be
deprived
of
the
Comfort
of
your
Royal
Presence
,
the
rather
for
that
it
proceeds
from
the
want
of
your
health
,
wherein
We
all
unfainedly
do
suffer
.
In
all
humble
manner
calling
to
mind
your
gracious
answer
to
our
former
Petition
concerning
Religion
,
which
notwithstanding
your
Majesties
pious
and
princely
intentions
,
hath
not
produced
that
good
effect
,
which
the
danger
of
these
Times
doth
seem
to
us
to
require
.
And
finding
how
ill
your
Majesties
goodness
hath
been
requited
by
Princes
of
different
Religion
,
who
even
in
time
of
Treaty
,
have
taken
opportunity
to
advance
their
own
Ends
,
tending
to
the
Subversion
of
Religion
,
and
disadvantage
of
your
affairs
,
and
the
Estate
of
your
Children
.
By
reason
whereof
your
ill-affected
Subjects
at
home
,
the
Popish
Recusants
,
have
taken
too
much
incouragement
,
and
are
dangerously
increased
in
their
Number
,
and
in
their
insolencies
.
We
cannot
but
be
sensible
thereof
;
And
thereof
humbly
represent
what
we
conceive
to
be
the
Causes
of
so
great
and
growing
Mischiefs
,
and
what
be
the
Remedies
.
1.
The
Vigilancy
and
Ambition
of
the
Pope
of
Rome
,
and
his
dearest
Son
,
the
one
aiming
at
as
large
a
Temporal
Monarchy
,
as
the
other
at
a
Spiritual
Supremacy
.
2.
The
Devillish
Positions
,
and
Doctrines
,
whereon
Popery
is
built
,
and
taught
,
with
authority
to
their
Followers
,
for
advancement
of
their
Temporal
Ends.
3.
The
distressed
,
and
miserable
Estate
of
the
Professors
of
true
Religion
in
Foreign
parts
.
4.
The
disastrous
Accidents
to
your
Majesties
Children
abroad
,
expressed
with
rejoycing
,
and
even
with
contempt
of
their
Persons
.
5.
The
strange
Confederacy
of
the
Princes
of
the
Popish
Religion
,
aiming
mainly
at
the
advancement
of
theirs
,
and
subverting
Ours
,
and
taking
the
advantages
conducing
to
that
End
,
upon
all
Occasions
.
6.
The
great
and
many
Armies
raised
and
maintained
at
the
charge
of
the
King
of
Spain
,
the
chief
of
that
League
.
7.
The
expectation
of
the
Popish
Recusants
of
the
Match
with
Spain
,
and
feeding
themselves
with
great
hopes
of
the
consequences
thereof
.
8.
The
interposing
of
Foreign
Princes
,
and
their
Agents
in
the
behalf
of
Popish
Recusants
,
for
connivence
and
favour
unto
them
.
9.
Their
open
and
usual
Resort
to
the
Houses
,
and
which
is
worse
,
to
the
Chappels
of
Foreign
Ambassadors
.
10.
Their
more
than
usual
concourse
to
the
City
,
and
their
frequent
Conventicles
,
and
Conferences
there
.
11.
The
education
of
their
Children
,
in
many
several
Seminaries
,
and
Houses
of
their
Religion
,
in
Foreign
parts
,
appropriated
only
to
the
English
Fugitives
.
12.
The
Grants
of
their
just
forfeitures
intended
by
your
Majesty
as
a
reward
of
service
to
the
Grantees
,
but
beyond
your
Majesties
intention
,
transferred
or
compounded
for
,
at
such
mean
rates
as
will
amount
to
little
less
than
a
Toleration
.
13.
The
licentious
printing
and
dispersing
of
Popish
and
seditious
Books
,
even
in
the
time
of
Parliament
.
14.
The
Swarms
of
Priests
and
Jesuits
,
the
common
Incendiaries
of
all
Christendom
,
dispersed
in
all
parts
of
your
Kingdom
.
And
from
these
Causes
as
bitter
Roots
,
we
humbly
offer
to
your
Majesty
,
that
we
foresee
,
and
fear
there
will
necessarily
follow
very
dangerous
effects
both
to
Church
and
State
.
For
,
1.
The
Popish
Religion
is
incompatible
with
Ours
in
respect
of
their
Positions
.
2.
It
draweth
with
it
an
unavoidable
Dependency
on
foreign
Princes
.
3.
It
openeth
too
wide
a
Gap
for
Popularity
,
to
any
who
shall
draw
too
great
a
Party
.
4.
It
hath
a
restless
Spirit
,
and
will
strive
by
these
Gradations
;
if
it
once
get
but
a
Connivence
,
it
will
press
for
a
Toleration
;
if
that
should
be
obtained
,
they
must
have
an
equality
;
from
thence
they
will
aspire
to
Superiority
:
And
will
never
rest
till
they
get
a
Subversion
of
the
true
Religion
.
The
Remedies
against
these
growing
Evils
,
which
in
all
humbleness
we
offer
to
your
most
excellent
Majesty
,
are
these
,
1.
That
seeing
this
inevitable
Necessity
is
faln
upon
your
Majesty
,
which
no
wisdom
or
providence
of
a
peaceable
and
pious
King
,
can
avoid
,
your
Majesty
would
not
omit
this
just
occasion
,
speedily
and
effectually
to
take
your
Sword
into
your
hand
.
2.
That
once
undertaken
upon
so
Honourable
and
just
grounds
,
your
Majesty
would
resolve
to
persue
,
and
more
publickly
avow
the
aiding
of
those
of
our
Religion
in
foreign
parts
,
which
doubtless
would
reunite
the
Princes
and
States
of
the
Union
,
by
these
disasters
disheartned
and
disbanded
.
3.
That
your
Majesty
would
propose
to
your self
to
manage
this
War
with
the
best
advantage
,
by
a
Diversion
or
otherwise
,
as
in
your
deep
judgment
shall
be
found
fittest
,
and
not
to
rest
upon
a
War
in
these
parts
only
,
which
will
consume
your
Treasure
,
and
discourage
your
people
.
4.
That
the
bent
of
this
War
,
and
point
of
your
Sword
may
be
against
that
Prince
(
whatsoever
Opinion
of
Potency
he
hath
)
whose
Armies
and
Treasures
,
have
first
diverted
,
and
since
maintained
the
War
in
the
Palatinate
.
5.
That
for
securing
of
our
peace
at
home
,
your
Majesty
will
be
pleased
to
review
the
parts
of
our
Petition
formerly
delivered
unto
your
Majesty
,
and
hereunto
annexed
,
and
to
put
it
in
execution
;
by
the
care
of
choice
Commissioners
,
to
be
there
unto
especially
appointed
,
the
Laws
already
,
and
hereafter
,
to
be
made
for
preventing
of
Dangers
by
Popish
Recusants
,
and
their
wonted
evasions
.
6.
That
to
frustrate
their
hopes
for
a
future
Age
,
our
most
Noble
Prince
may
be
timely
and
happily
married
to
one
of
our
own
Religion
.
7.
That
the
Children
of
the
Nobility
and
Gentry
of
this
Kingdom
,
and
of
others
ill
affected
,
and
suspected
in
their
Religion
,
now
beyond
the
Seas
,
may
be
forthwith
called
home
by
your
means
,
and
at
the
charge
of
their
Parents
or
Governours
.
8.
That
the
Children
of
Popish
Recusants
,
or
such
whose
wives
are
Popish
Recusants
,
be
brought
up
during
their
minority
with
Protestant
Schoolmasters
,
and
Teachers
,
who
may
sow
in
their
tender
years
the
seeds
of
true
Religion
.
9.
That
your
Majesty
will
be
pleased
speedily
to
revoke
all
former
Licences
,
for
such
Children
and
youth
to
travel
beyond
the
Seas
,
and
not
grant
any
such
licence
hereafter
.
10.
That
your
Majesties
learned
Councel
may
receive
commandment
from
your
Highness
,
carefully
to
look
into
former
Grants
of
Recusants
lands
,
and
to
avoid
them
if
by
Law
they
can
;
and
that
your
Majesty
will
stay
your
hand
from
passing
any
such
Grants
hereafter
.
This
is
the
sum
and
effect
of
our
Humble
Declaration
,
which
we
(
no
ways
intending
to
press
upon
your
Majesties
undoubted
and
Regal
Prerogative
)
do
with
the
fulness
of
our
Duty
,
and
Obedience
,
humbly
submit
to
your
most
Princely
consideration
,
the
Glory
of
God
,
whose
Cause
it
is
,
the
Zeal
of
our
true
Religion
,
in
which
we
have
been
born
,
and
wherein
(
by
God's
grace
)
we
are
resolved
to
die
,
the
safety
of
your
Majesties
person
,
who
is
the
very
life
of
your
people
,
the
happiness
of
your
Children
and
Posterity
,
the
Honour
and
good
of
the
Church
and
State
dearer
unto
us
then
our
own
lives
,
having
kindled
these
Affections
,
truly
devoted
to
your
Majesty
.
And
seeing
out
of
our
Duty
to
your
Majesty
,
we
have
already
resolved
to
give
at
the
end
of
this
Session
one
entire
Subsidy
,
for
the
present
relief
of
the
Palatinate
only
,
to
be
paid
in
the
end
of
February
next
,
which
cannot
well
be
effected
but
by
passing
a
Bill
in
a
Parliamentary
course
before
Christmas
;
We
most
humbly
beseech
your
Majesty
(
as
our
assured
hope
is
)
that
you
will
then
also
vouchsafe
to
give
life
by
your
Royal
assent
,
to
such
Bills
as
before
that
time
shall
be
prepared
for
your
Majesties
Honour
,
and
the
general
good
of
your
People
.
And
that
such
Bills
may
be
also
accompanied
(
as
hath
been
accustomed
)
with
your
Majestie
's
gracious
Pardon
,
which
proceeding
from
your
own
meer
Grace
,
may
by
your
Highness
direction
be
drawn
to
that
latitude
,
and
extent
,
as
may
best
sort
.
with
your
Majesties
Bounty
and
Goodness
.
And
that
not
only
Fellons
,
and
criminal
offenders
may
take
benefit
thereof
,
but
that
your
good
Subjects
may
receive
ease
thereby
.
And
if
it
shall
so
stand
with
your
good
pleasure
,
that
it
may
extend
to
the
relief
of
the
old
Debts
and
Duties
to
the
Crown
,
before
the
first
year
of
your
Majesties
raign
,
to
the
discharge
of
Alienations
without
licence
,
and
misusing
of
Liveries
and
Oustre
le
main
before
the
first
summons
of
this
Parliament
;
and
of
concealed
Wardships
,
and
not
suing
of
Liveries
and
Oustre
le
mains
,
before
the
twelfth
year
of
your
Majesties
Reign
.
Which
gracious
favour
would
much
comfort
your
good
Subjects
,
and
ease
them
from
Vexation
,
with
little
loss
or
prejudice
to
your
own
profit
.
And
we
by
our
daily
and
devout
prayers
to
the
Almighty
,
the
great
King
of
Kings
,
shall
contend
for
a
blessing
upon
our
endeavours
,
and
for
your
Majesties
long
and
happy
Reign
over
Us
,
And
for
your
Childrens
children
after
you
for
many
and
many
Generations
.
The
King
hearing
that
the
House
of
Commons
were
hammering
upon
this
Remonstrance
,
The
King
vext
at
it
.
went
to
Newmarket
,
a
cold
and
bleak
Air
,
in
as
cold
and
bleak
a
season
,
pretending
his
Health
,
but
indeed
to
be
further
from
the
sound
of
that
noise
(
which
perpetually
possessed
his
Ears
)
of
the
discontent
of
the
Commons
for
the
intended
Match
with
Spain
.
And
as
the
Business
grew
up
,
he
had
intimation
of
it
from
his
creatures
in
the
House
;
for
it
vext
his
Popish
Secretary
,
Sir
George
Calvert
,
Weston
,
and
others
to
find
the
House
so
bitter
against
their
Profession
,
(
though
they
were
cunning
Underminers
,
and
put
on
a
smooth
face
there
)
yet
they
aggravated
the
matter
to
the
King
with
all
the
Acrimony
they
could
,
so
far
as
to
reflect
upon
particular
persons
,
that
were
the
most
Active
instruments
in
it
.
And
what
is
there
in
this
Remonstrance
(
at
such
a
time
when
the
Protestant
Religion
was
in
danger
of
being
extirpated
)
that
put
on
so
horrid
a
Vizard
as
to
affright
or
exasperate
the
King
?
The
Protestant
Religion
in
danger
.
The
Emperor
had
prevailed
in
Germany
,
the
Protestant
Princes
either
subdued
,
or
acquiesced
,
and
laid
down
their
necks
to
the
Yoak
.
The
Protestants
were
persecuted
in
France
,
besieged
and
ruined
by
the
youthful
fury
of
Lewis
the
13.
And
notwithstanding
Our
King's
solicitations
by
Sir
Edward
Herbert
,
since
Baron
of
Cherbery
,
his
Resident
Ambassador
there
,
who
(
after
his
conflict
with
Luynes
the
youthful
Constable
of
France
,
and
Favourite
to
that
King
)
being
sent
for
home
,
the
Viscount
Doncaster
was
sent
again
into
France
,
upon
one
of
his
mediating
imployments
,
who
also
followed
that
King
from
Camp
to
City
,
and
from
City
to
Camp
,
with
as
little
success
,
this
being
no
journey
of
Bravery
,
for
it
almost
cost
him
his
life
there
by
a
tedious
sickness
.
Rochel
and
Montaban
were
besieged
at
one
time
this
very
year
,
Rochel
by
the
Count
of
Soissons
,
and
the
Duke
of
Guise
,
and
Montaban
by
the
King
,
a
great
distance
one
from
another
;
but
Doncaster
could
prevail
for
neither
,
yet
the
French
King
did
not
do
his
work
.
When
man
hath
vented
all
his
malice
,
he
can
go
no
further
than
the
line
God
hath
set
him
.
One
sad
story
intervenes
which
had
a
various
Countenance
,
mixt
with
Bravery
and
Baseness
,
Hicks
and
Fairfax
.
so
that
it
was
doubtful
which
was
most
prevalent
.
One
Hicks
an
English-man
undertook
to
carry
a
Letter
from
Rochel
to
Montaban
,
through
both
Armies
,
to
let
them
know
the
good
State
and
Condition
of
the
Rochellers
were
in
(
maugre
the
fury
and
violence
of
their
Enemies
)
that
those
of
Montaban
might
be
encouraged
to
hold
out
against
the
King's
assaults
.
Hicks
makes
a
clear
passage
through
the
Army
before
Rochell
,
and
came
to
Thoulouse
,
where
the
Viscount
Doncaster
was
,
there
he
consorted
with
the
English
,
insinuating
with
a
young
Gentlemen
,
one
Fairfax
,
of
that
noble
Family
in
York-shire
,
who
was
for
that
journey
one
of
the
Lord
Ambassador's
Train
,
and
Hicks
finding
him
willing
(
being
a
young
and
gallant
Spirit
)
to
see
the
Kings
Leagure
at
Montaban
,
they
rode
thither
together
,
and
under
the
notion
of
being
of
the
Ambassador's
retinue
,
they
had
free
admittance
to
view
all
the
Works
,
and
Avenues
.
Hicks
whose
eye
was
fixt
upon
his
opportunity
to
fly
into
the
Town
,
made
use
of
Fairfax
to
take
his
advantage
with
the
least
Suspicion
,
and
in
the
instant
of
time
,
puts
Spurs
to
his
Horse
,
and
got
into
the
Town
through
a
Shower
of
Bullets
,
leaving
Fairfax
(
astonish'd
at
the
attempt
)
to
be
wrackt
and
tormented
to
death
(
as
he
was
by
the
French
fury
)
to
confess
what
he
never
knew
;
so
that
Hicks
his
Brave●y
deserves
a
Brand
of
Infamy
,
and
Fairfax
his
Innocency
a
memorial
of
pity
.
A
noble
Spirit
must
not
dare
to
do
a
gallant
action
an
unworthy
way
.

THOVLOVSE
But
when
this
Remonstrance
was
brought
to
perfection
,
the
King
had
a
Copy
of
it
before
the
House
had
time
to
send
their
Messengers
with
it
;
in
which
,
something
so
highly
displeased
him
,
that
he
instantly
dispatched
a
Letter
to
the
Speaker
of
the
House
of
Commons
to
forbid
the
sending
of
it
.
To
Our
Trusty
and
Wellbeloved
,
Sir
Thomas
Richardson
Knight
,
Speaker
of
the
House
of
Commons
.
Mr.
Speaker
,
WE
have
heard
by
divers
Reports
,
The
King's
Letter
to
the
Speaker
.
to
our
great
grief
,
that
Our
distance
from
the
Houses
of
Parliament
(
caused
by
Our
indisposition
of
health
,
)
hath
imboldned
some
fiery
and
Popular
Spirits
of
some
of
the
House
of
Commons
,
to
argue
and
debate
publickly
of
Matters
far
above
their
reach
and
capacity
,
tending
to
Our
high
dishonour
,
and
breach
of
Prerogative
Royal.
These
are
therefore
to
command
you
to
make
known
in
Our
Name
unto
the
House
,
that
none
therein
shall
presume
henceforth
to
meddle
with
any
thing
concerning
Our
Government
,
or
deep
Matters
of
State
,
and
namely
not
to
deal
with
our
dearest
Son's
Match
with
the
Daughter
of
Spain
,
nor
to
touch
the
Honour
of
that
King
,
or
any
other
our
Friends
or
Confederates
.
And
also
not
to
meddle
with
any
mans
particulars
,
which
have
their
due
motion
in
our
ordinary
Courts
of
Justice
.
And
whereas
we
hear
they
have
sent
a
Message
to
Sir
Edwin
Sandis
,
to
know
the
Reasons
of
his
late
restraint
▪
you
shall
in
Our
Name
resolve
them
,
that
it
was
not
for
any
misdemeanor
of
his
in
Parliament
;
But
to
put
them
out
of
doubt
of
any
question
of
that
Nature
,
that
may
arise
among
them
hereafter
,
you
shall
resolve
them
in
Our
Name
,
That
We
think
Our self
very
free
and
able
to
punish
any
man's
misdemeanors
in
Parliament
,
as
well
during
their
sitting
as
after
:
which
we
mean
not
to
spare
hereafter
upon
any
occasion
of
any
man's
insolent
Behaviour
there
,
that
shall
be
ministred
unto
Us.
And
if
they
have
already
touched
any
of
these
points
,
which
We
have
here
forbidden
in
any
Petition
of
theirs
,
which
is
to
be
sent
unto
Us
,
it
is
our
pleasure
that
you
shall
tell
them
,
that
except
they
reform
it
before
it
come
to
our
hands
,
We
will
not
deign
the
hearing
nor
answering
of
it
.
This
was
the
effect
of
the
Letter
.
Dated
at
Newmarket
,
Decem.
3.
1621.
When
the
House
had
duly
and
weightily
considered
the
just
Reasons
they
had
to
draw
up
this
Remonstrance
,
in
discharge
of
their
Consciences
and
duties
to
God
,
and
the
King
,
and
found
how
fruitless
their
labours
were
.
Having
(
as
it
were
)
cast
out
one
Anchor
in
a
tempestuous
season
which
would
take
no
hold
,
they
were
forced
to
cast
out
another
,
that
both
together
might
better
fasten
on
the
King
's
good
affections
:
Therefore
they
framed
this
following
Petition
,
and
sent
the
Remonstrance
with
it
,
hoping
yet
to
save
the
beaten
Bark
of
the
Common-wealth
from
ruin
in
so
great
a
time
of
danger
.
And
thus
they
address
themselves
to
their
great
Pilot.
Most
dread
and
gracious
Soveraign
,
The
Parliaments
Petition
.
WE
your
most
humble
and
loyal
Subjects
,
the
Knights
,
Citizens
,
and
Burgesses
assembled
in
the
Commons
House
of
Parliament
,
full
of
grief
and
unspeakable
sorrow
,
through
the
true
sence
of
your
Majesties
displeasure
expressed
by
your
Letter
lately
sent
to
Our
Speaker
,
and
by
him
related
and
read
unto
Us
;
Yet
comforted
again
with
the
assurance
of
your
Grace
and
Goodness
,
and
of
the
sincerity
of
our
own
intentions
and
proceedings
,
whereon
with
confidence
we
can
rely
,
in
all
humbleness
beseech
your
most
excellent
Majesty
,
that
the
Loyalty
and
Dutifulness
of
as
faithful
and
loving
Subjects
as
ever
served
or
lived
under
a
gracious
Soveraign
,
may
not
undeservedly
suffer
,
by
the
mis-information
of
partial
and
uncertain
Reports
,
which
are
ever
unfaithful
Intelligencers
:
but
that
your
Majesty
would
in
the
clearness
of
your
own
Judgment
,
first
vouchsafe
to
understand
from
Our selves
,
and
not
from
others
,
what
our
humble
Declaration
and
Petition
(
resolved
upon
by
the
Universal
Voice
of
the
House
,
and
proposed
with
your
Gracious
favour
to
be
presented
unto
your
Sacred
Majesty
)
doth
contain
.
Upon
what
Occasion
we
entred
into
Consideration
of
those
things
which
are
therein
contained
,
with
what
dutiful
respect
to
your
Majesty
,
and
your
Service
,
we
did
consider
thereof
,
and
what
was
our
true
intention
thereby
.
And
that
when
your
Majesty
shall
thereby
truly
discern
our
dutiful
Affections
,
you
will
in
your
Royal
judgment
free
us
from
those
heavy
Charges
wherewith
some
of
our
Members
are
burthened
,
and
wherein
the
whole
House
is
involved
.
And
we
humbly
beseech
your
Majesty
,
that
you
will
not
hereafter
give
Credit
to
private
Reports
against
all
,
or
any
of
the
Members
of
our
House
,
whom
the
whole
have
not
censured
,
until
your
Majesty
have
been
truly
informed
thereof
from
our selves
,
and
that
in
the
mean
time
,
and
ever
,
we
may
stand
upright
in
your
Majesties
Grace
and
good
Opinion
,
than
which
no
worldly
consideration
is
,
or
can
be
dearer
unto
us
.
When
your
Majesty
had
reassembled
us
in
Parliament
,
by
your
Royal
Commandment
,
sooner
than
we
expected
,
and
did
vouchsafe
by
the
mouths
of
three
honourable
Lords
,
to
impart
unto
us
the
weighty
occasions
moving
your
Majesty
thereunto
;
And
from
them
we
did
understand
these
particulars
.
That
notwithstanding
your
Princely
and
Pious
indeavours
to
procure
Peace
,
the
time
is
now
come
that
Janus
Temple
must
be
opened
.
That
the
Voice
of
Bellona
must
be
heard
,
and
not
the
Voice
of
the
Turtle
.
That
there
was
no
hope
of
Peace
,
nor
any
Truce
to
be
obtained
,
no
,
not
for
a
few
days
.
That
your
Majesty
must
either
abandon
your
own
Children
,
or
ingage
your self
in
a
war
,
wherein
Consideration
is
to
be
had
,
what
foot
,
what
horse
,
what
money
would
be
sufficient
.
That
the
Lower
Palatinate
was
seized
upon
by
the
Army
of
the
King
of
Spain
,
as
Executor
of
the
Ban
there
,
in
quality
of
Duke
of
Burgundy
,
as
the
Upper
Palatinate
was
by
the
Duke
of
Bavaria
.
That
the
King
of
Spain
at
his
own
Charge
had
now
at
least
five
several
Armies
on
foot
.
That
the
Princes
of
the
Union
were
disbanded
,
but
the
Catholick
league
remained
firm
,
whereby
those
Princes
so
dissevered
,
were
in
danger
one
by
one
to
be
ruined
.
That
the
Estate
of
those
of
the
Religion
in
Foreign
parts
was
miserable
.
And
,
That
out
of
these
Considerations
we
were
called
to
a
war
,
and
forthwith
to
advise
for
a
Supply
,
for
keeping
the
forces
in
the
Palatinate
from
disbanding
,
and
to
fore-see
the
means
for
raising
and
maintaining
the
body
of
an
Army
for
the
war
against
the
Spring
.
We
therefore
out
of
our
Zeal
to
your
Majesty
and
your
Posterity
,
with
more
alacrity
,
and
colerity
,
than
ever
was
precedented
in
Parliament
;
did
address
our selves
to
the
Service
commended
unto
Us.
And
although
we
cannot
conceive
,
that
the
honor
and
safety
of
your
Majesty
,
and
your
posterity
,
the
patrimony
of
your
Children
,
invaded
and
possessed
by
their
Enemies
,
the
welfare
of
Religion
,
and
State
of
your
Kingdom
,
are
matters
at
any
time
unfit
for
our
deepest
consideration
in
time
of
Parliament
.
And
though
before
this
time
we
were
in
some
of
these
points
silent
,
yet
being
now
invited
thereunto
,
and
led
on
by
so
just
an
occasion
,
we
thought
it
Our
Duties
to
provide
for
the
present
supply
thereof
,
and
not
only
to
turn
our
eyes
on
a
war
abroad
;
but
to
take
care
for
the
securing
of
our
peace
at
home
,
which
the
dangerous
increase
,
and
insolency
of
Popish
Recusants
,
apparently
,
visibly
,
and
sensibly
did
lead
us
unto
.
The
consideration
whereof
did
necessarily
draw
us
truly
to
represent
unto
your
Majesty
what
we
conceive
to
be
the
Causes
,
what
we
feared
would
be
the
effects
,
and
what
we
hoped
might
be
the
remedies
of
these
growing
Evils
.
Among
which
,
as
incident
and
unavoidable
,
we
fell
upon
some
things
which
seem
to
touch
upon
the
King
of
Spain
,
as
they
have
relation
to
Popish
Recusants
at
home
,
to
the
Wars
by
him
maintained
in
the
Palatinate
against
your
Majestie
's
Children
,
and
to
his
several
Armies
now
on
foot
;
yet
as
we
conceived
without
touch
of
dishonour
to
that
King
,
or
any
other
Prince
your
Majestie
's
Consederate
.
In
the
discourse
whereof
we
did
not
assume
to
our
selves
any
power
to
determin
of
any
part
thereof
,
An
humble
Parliament
.
nor
intend
to
incroach
or
intrude
upon
the
Sacred
bounds
of
your
Royal
Authority
,
to
whom
,
and
to
whom
only
,
we
acknowledg
it
doth
belong
to
resolve
of
Peace
and
War
,
and
of
the
Marriage
of
the
most
noble
Prince
your
Son
.
But
as
your
most
Loyal
and
humble
Subjects
,
and
Servants
,
representing
the
whole
Commons
of
your
Kingdom
(
who
have
a
large
interest
in
the
happy
and
prosperous
estate
of
your
Majesty
,
and
your
Royal
Posterity
,
and
of
the
flourishing
Estate
of
our
Church
and
Common-wealth
)
did
resolve
out
of
our
Cares
and
Fears
,
truly
and
plainly
to
demonstrate
these
things
to
your
Majesty
,
which
we
were
not
assured
could
otherwise
come
so
fully
and
clearly
to
your
knowledg
,
and
that
being
done
,
to
lay
the
same
down
at
your
Majesties
feet
,
without
expectation
of
any
other
answer
of
your
Majesty
touching
these
higher
points
,
than
what
at
your
good
pleasure
,
and
in
your
own
time
should
be
held
fit
.
This
being
the
effect
of
that
we
had
formerly
resolved
upon
,
and
these
the
occasions
and
reasons
inducing
the
same
,
our
humble
suit
to
your
Majesty
,
and
confidence
is
,
that
your
Majesty
will
be
graciously
pleased
to
receive
at
the
hands
of
these
our
Messengers
our
former
humble
Declaration
,
and
Petition
,
and
to
vouchsafe
to
read
,
and
favourably
to
interpret
the
same
.
And
that
to
so
much
thereof
,
as
containeth
our
humble
Petition
concerning
Jesuits
,
Priests
and
Popish
Recusants
,
the
passage
of
Bills
,
and
granting
your
Royal
Pardon
,
you
will
vouchsafe
an
answer
unto
us
.
And
whereas
your
Majesty
by
the
general
words
of
your
Letter
seemeth
to
restrain
us
from
intermedling
with
matters
of
Government
,
or
particulars
which
have
their
motion
in
the
Courts
of
Justice
;
the
generality
of
which
words
in
the
largeness
of
the
extent
thereof
,
(
as
we
hope
beyond
your
Majesties
intention
)
might
involve
those
things
,
which
are
the
proper
Subjects
of
Parliamentary
occasions
and
discourse
.
And
where
as
your
Majesty
doth
seem
to
abridge
us
of
the
ancient
liberty
of
Parliament
for
freedom
of
Speech
,
Jurisdiction
,
and
just
Censure
of
the
House
,
and
other
proceedings
there
(
wherein
we
trust
in
God
we
shall
never
transgress
the
bounds
of
loyal
and
dutiful
Subjects
)
a
liberty
which
we
assure
our selves
so
wise
and
so
just
a
King
will
not
infringe
,
the
same
being
our
ancient
and
undoubted
right
,
and
an
inheritance
received
from
our
Ancestors
,
without
which
we
cannot
freely
debate
,
nor
clearly
discern
of
things
in
Question
before
us
,
nor
truly
inform
your
Majesty
;
in
which
we
have
been
confirmed
by
your
Majesties
most
gracious
former
Speeches
and
Messages
:
We
are
therefore
now
again
inforced
in
all
humbleness
to
pray
your
Majesty
to
allow
the
same
,
and
thereby
to
take
away
the
doubts
and
scruples
your
Majesties
late
Letter
to
your
Speaker
hath
brought
upon
us
.
So
shall
we
your
Loyal
and
loving
Subjects
ever
acknowledge
your
Majesties
justice
,
And
a
Pious
.
grace
and
goodness
,
and
be
ready
to
perform
that
service
to
your
Majesty
,
which
in
the
true
affection
of
our
hearts
we
profess
,
and
powre
out
our
dayly
and
devout
prayers
to
the
Almighty
for
your
Majesties
long
life
,
happy
and
religious
Reign
,
and
prosperous
Estate
,
and
for
your
Royal
posterity
after
you
for
ever
.
The
Parliament
thought
it
strange
that
the
King
in
a
Recess
should
call
them
together
before
the
appointed
time
of
meeting
,
The
King
wanted
money
,
not
advice
.
pretending
Emergent
occasions
,
and
(
by
his
Ministers
of
State
)
persuade
and
incite
to
a
War
,
and
when
(
in
obedience
to
this
command
)
they
shall
proceed
in
their
advice
,
only
to
prevent
the
dangers
abroad
,
and
establish
security
at
home
,
they
shall
be
accounted
presumptuous
and
insolent
.
But
by
this
they
discover
,
(
and
which
the
King
plainly
expresses
in
his
Answer
)
that
he
required
none
of
their
advice
,
he
wanted
only
their
money
,
if
they
had
furnished
him
with
that
instead
of
Counsel
,
it
would
have
been
a
golden
Remonstrance
.
They
are
to
be
his
Bank
,
his
Merchants
,
he
needs
no
other
directions
;
let
them
find
money
,
he
knows
how
to
dispose
of
it
.
This
was
the
great
fault
,
which
this
Petition
strives
to
mitigate
,
accompanied
with
the
Remonstrance
it self
,
and
the
Petition
against
Recusancy
,
for
both
which
it
was
an
intercessor
,
but
it
could
not
with
all
its
Humility
procure
acceptance
for
its
Companions
,
though
sent
by
twelve
select
Members
of
the
House
,
and
the
leading
man
Sir
Richard
Weston
(
who
was
really
the
King's
)
chosen
by
the
Commons
to
make
their
Petitions
the
more
acceptable
.
And
the
House
finding
it
a
great
discouragement
to
them
to
proceed
in
any
business
,
when
there
was
so
great
a
distance
betwixt
the
King
and
them
,
(
the
King
thinking
their
actions
an
intrenchment
upon
his
Prerogative
,
and
they
thinking
the
King's
expressions
an
infringement
of
their
Liberties
)
they
resolved
to
give
over
all
business
,
till
they
had
an
Answer
of
their
Petitions
;
for
they
thought
they
had
as
good
do
nothing
,
as
have
that
they
do
undone
again
.
Which
the
King
hearing
of
was
vexed
at
the
heart
,
and
entertained
their
Messengers
very
roughly
;
and
some
say
he
called
for
twelve
Chaire's
for
them
,
saying
,
Here
are
twelve
Kings
come
to
me
.
But
after
he
had
considered
their
desires
in
their
last
Petition
(
rejecting
the
others
)
he
returns
them
this
answer
to
all
.
An.
Christi
.
1621.
WE
must
here
begin
in
the
same
fashion
that
we
would
have
done
,
if
your
first
Petition
had
come
to
our
Hands
▪
before
we
had
made
a
stay
thereof
,
The
King's
Answer
.
which
is
to
repeat
the
first
words
of
the
late
Queen
of
famous
memory
,
used
by
her
in
answer
to
an
insolent
Proposition
,
made
by
a
Polonian
Embassadon●
unto
her
,
that
is
Legatum
expectabamus
,
Heraldum
accipimus
.
For
we
had
great
reason
to
expect
that
the
first
Message
from
your
House
should
have
been
a
Message
of
thanksgiving
for
Our
continued
gratious
behaviour
towards
our
People
since
your
last
Recess
.
Not
only
by
our
Proclamation
of
Grace
,
wherein
were
contained
six
or
seven
and
thirty
Articles
,
all
of
several
points
of
Grace
to
the
people
;
but
also
by
the
labour
we
took
for
the
satisfaction
of
both
Houses
in
those
three
Articles
recommended
unto
Us
in
both
their
names
by
the
right
Reverend
Father
in
God
the
Archbishop
of
Canterbury
,
and
likewise
for
the
good
Government
of
Ireland
we
are
now
in
hand
with
at
your
request
.
But
not
only
have
We
heard
no
news
of
all
this
,
but
contrary
,
great
complains
of
the
Danger
of
Religion
within
this
Kingdom
,
tacitly
implying
Our
ill
Government
in
this
point
.
And
we
leave
you
to
judge
,
whether
it
be
your
Duties
,
that
are
the
Representative
Body
of
Our
People
,
so
to
distate
them
with
Our
Government
,
whereas
by
the
contrary
,
it
is
your
Duty
with
all
your
indeavours
to
kindle
more
and
more
a
dutiful
and
thankful
Love
in
the
peoples
hearts
towards
us
for
our
just
and
gracious
Government
.
Now
whereas
in
the
very
beginning
of
this
your
Apology
,
you
tax
Us
in
fair
terms
of
trusting
uncertain
Reports
,
and
partial
informations
concerning
your
Proceedings
;
We
wish
you
to
remember
that
we
are
an
old
and
experienced
King
,
needing
no
such
lessons
,
being
in
our
conscience
,
freest
of
any
King
alive
from
hearing
or
trusting
idle
Reports
,
which
so
many
of
your
House
as
are
nearest
Us
,
can
bear
witness
unto
you
,
if
you
would
give
as
good
ear
to
them
,
as
you
do
to
some
Tribunitial
Orators
among
you
.
And
for
proof
in
this
particular
:
We
have
made
your
own
Messengers
confer
your
other
Petitions
sent
by
you
with
the
Copy
thereof
,
which
was
sent
Us
before
,
between
which
there
is
no
difference
at
all
,
but
that
since
our
receiving
the
first
Copy
,
you
added
a
Conclusion
unto
it
,
which
could
not
come
to
our
hands
,
till
it
was
done
by
you
,
and
your
Messengers
sent
,
which
was
all
at
one
time
.
And
if
we
had
had
no
Copy
of
it
before
hand
,
we
must
have
received
your
first
Petition
to
our
great
dishonour
,
before
we
had
known
what
it
contained
,
which
would
have
inforced
us
to
have
returned
you
a
far
worse
answer
than
now
we
do
.
For
then
your
Messengers
had
returned
with
nothing
,
but
that
We
have
judged
your
Petition
unlawful
and
unworthy
of
an
answer
:
For
as
to
your
Conclusion
thereof
,
it
is
nothing
but
Protestatio
contraria
facto
,
for
in
the
body
of
your
Petition
you
usurp
upon
Our
Prerogative
Royal
,
and
meddle
with
things
far
above
your
reach
,
and
then
in
the
Conclusion
you
protest
the
contrary
;
as
if
a
Robber
would
take
a
mans
purse
,
and
then
protest
he
meant
not
to
rob
him
.
For
first
you
presume
to
give
Us
your
advice
concerning
the
Match
of
Our
dearest
Son
with
some
Protestant
,
we
cannot
say
Princess
,
for
we
know
none
of
these
fit
for
him
,
and
dissuade
us
from
his
Match
with
Spain
,
urging
us
to
a
present
War
with
that
King
,
and
yet
in
the
conclusion
,
forsooth
,
ye
protest
ye
intend
not
to
press
upon
our
most
undoubted
and
Regal
Prerogative
;
as
if
the
petitioning
of
Us
in
matters
that
your selves
confess
ye
ought
not
to
meddle
with
,
were
not
a
medling
with
them
.
And
whereas
ye
pretend
that
ye
were
invited
to
this
course
by
the
Speeches
of
three
honourable
Lords
,
ye
thy
so
much
as
your selves
repeat
of
the
Speeches
,
nothing
can
be
concluded
,
but
that
We
were
resolved
by
War
to
regain
the
Palatinate
,
if
otherwise
We
could
not
attain
unto
it
.
And
you
were
invited
to
advise
forthwith
upon
a
Supply
for
keeping
the
Forces
in
the
Palatinate
from
disbanding
,
and
to
fore-see
the
means
for
the
raising
and
maintaining
of
the
Body
of
an
Army
for
that
War
against
the
Spring
.
Now
what
inference
can
be
made
upon
this
?
That
therefore
we
must
presently
denounce
War
against
the
King
of
Spain
,
break
our
dearest
Son's
Match
,
and
Match
him
to
one
of
Our
Religion
,
Let
the
world
judge
!
The
difference
is
no
greater
,
than
if
we
would
tell
a
Merchant
that
We
had
great
need
to
borrow
money
from
him
for
raising
an
Army
,
that
thereupon
it
should
follow
,
that
We
were
bound
to
follow
his
advice
in
the
Directions
of
the
War
,
and
all
things
depending
thereupon
But
yet
not
contenting
your
Selves
with
this
excuse
of
yours
,
which
indeed
cannot
hold
water
,
ye
come
after
to
a
direct
contradiction
to
the
conclusion
of
your
former
Petition
,
saying
,
that
the
Honor
and
Safety
of
Us
and
Our
posterity
,
and
the
patrimony
of
our
Children
invaded
,
and
possessed
by
their
Enemies
,
the
welfare
of
Religion
,
and
State
of
Our
Kingdom
,
are
matters
at
any
time
not
unfit
for
your
deepest
considerations
in
Parliament
.
To
this
generality
,
We
answer
with
the
Logicians
,
That
where
all
things
are
contained
,
nothing
is
omitted
.
So
as
this
plenipotency
of
yours
invests
you
in
all
power
upon
Earth
,
lacking
nothing
but
the
Popes
to
have
the
Keyes
also
both
of
Heaven
and
Purgatory
.
And
to
this
vast
generality
of
yours
,
we
can
give
no
other
Answer
;
for
it
will
trouble
all
the
best
Lawyers
in
the
House
,
to
make
a
good
Commentary
upon
it
.
For
so
did
the
Puritan
Ministers
in
Scotland
,
bring
all
kind
of
Causes
within
the
compass
of
their
Jurisdiction
,
saying
,
That
it
was
the
Churches
Office
to
judge
of
Slander
,
and
there
could
no
kind
of
crime
or
fault
be
committed
,
but
there
was
a
slander
in
it
,
either
against
God
,
the
King
,
or
their
Neighbour
,
and
by
this
means
they
hooked
into
themselves
the
too
fair
a
ground
,
and
opened
them
too
Wide
a
Gate
,
for
Curbing
and
oppressing
of
many
thousands
of
our
Religion
in
divers
parts
of
Christendom
.
And
whereas
you
excuse
your
touching
upon
the
King
of
Spain
,
upon
occasion
of
the
incidents
by
you
repeated
in
that
place
,
and
yet
affirm
that
it
is
without
any
touch
to
his
Honour
,
We
cannot
wonder
enough
that
ye
are
so
forgetful
,
both
of
your
Words
and
Writs
:
For
in
your
former
Petition
ye
plainly
affirm
,
that
he
affects
the
Temporal
Monarchy
of
the
whole
Earth
,
then
which
there
can
be
no
more
malice
uttered
against
any
great
King
,
to
make
all
other
Princes
and
Potentates
both
envie
and
hate
him
.
But
if
ye
list
,
it
may
be
easily
tried
,
whether
that
Speech
touched
him
in
Honour
or
not
:
if
we
shall
ask
him
the
Question
,
whether
he
means
to
assume
to
himself
that
Title
or
no
?
For
every
King
can
best
judge
of
his
own
Honour
.
We
omit
the
particular
ejaculations
of
some
foul
mouthed
Orators
in
your
House
,
against
the
Honour
of
his
Crown
and
State
.
And
touching
your
excuse
of
not
determining
any
thing
concerning
the
Match
of
our
dearest
Son
,
but
only
to
tell
your
opinions
,
and
lay
it
down
at
Our
feet
:
First
,
We
desire
to
know
how
you
could
have
presumed
to
determin
in
that
point
without
Committing
of
high
Treason
.
And
next
you
cannot
deny
,
but
your
talking
of
his
Match
after
that
manner
,
was
a
direct
breach
of
Our
commandment
,
and
Declaration
out
of
Our
own
mouth
,
at
the
first
sitting
down
of
this
Parliament
;
where
we
plainly
professed
,
that
we
were
in
treaty
of
his
Match
with
Spain
,
and
wished
you
to
have
that
Confidence
in
our
Religion
,
and
Wisdom
,
that
We
would
so
manage
it
as
Our
Religion
should
receive
no
prejudice
by
it
.
And
the
same
We
now
repeat
unto
you
,
professing
that
We
are
so
far
engaged
in
that
March
,
as
we
cannot
in
Honour
go
back
,
except
the
King
of
Spain
perform
not
such
things
as
we
expect
at
his
hands
:
And
therefore
We
are
sorry
that
ye
should
shew
to
have
so
great
Distrust
in
Us
,
or
to
conceive
that
We
should
be
cold
in
our
Religion
:
otherwise
We
cannot
imagine
how
Our
former
public
Declaration
should
not
have
stopt
your
mouths
in
this
point
.
And
as
to
your
Request
,
That
We
would
now
receive
your
former
Petition
,
We
wonder
what
could
make
you
presume
,
that
We
would
not
receive
it
;
whereas
in
our
former
Letter
,
We
plainly
declared
the
Contrary
unto
you
,
and
therefore
we
have
justly
rejected
that
suit
of
yours
.
For
what
have
you
left
un-attempted
in
the
Highest
points
of
Soveraignty
in
that
Petition
of
yours
,
except
the
striking
of
Coin
?
For
it
contains
the
violation
of
Leagues
,
the
particular
way
how
to
govern
a
War
,
and
the
Marriage
of
our
dearest
Son
,
both
Negative
with
Spain
,
nay
with
any
other
Popish
Princess
.
And
also
Affirmatively
,
as
to
the
Matching
with
one
of
Our
Religion
;
which
We
confess
is
a
strain
beyond
any
Providence
or
Wisdom
God
hath
given
Us
,
as
things
now
stand
.
These
are
unfit
things
to
be
handled
in
Parliament
,
except
your
King
should
require
it
of
you
,
For
who
can
have
Wisdom
to
judge
of
things
of
that
Nature
?
but
such
as
are
daily
acquainted
with
the
particulars
of
Treaties
,
and
of
the
Variable
or
fixed
Connexion
of
Affairs
of
State
,
together
with
the
knowledge
of
the
secret
ways
,
ends
,
and
intentions
of
Princes
,
in
their
several
Negotiations
:
otherwise
a
small
mistaking
in
matters
of
this
Nature
may
produce
more
effects
than
can
be
imagined
.
And
therefore
Nesutor
ultra
crepidam
.
And
besides
the
intermedling
in
Parliament
with
matters
of
Peace
,
or
War
,
and
Marriage
of
Our
dearest
Son
,
would
be
such
a
diminution
to
Us
,
and
to
Our
Crown
in
forraign
Countries
,
as
would
make
any
Prince
neglect
to
treat
with
Us
,
either
in
matters
of
Peace
or
Marriage
,
except
they
might
be
assured
by
the
assent
of
Parliament
.
False
play
justly
rewarded
.
And
so
it
proved
long
ago
with
a
King
of
France
,
who
upon
a
trick
procuring
his
States
to
dissent
from
some
Treaty
,
which
before
he
had
made
;
was
after
refused
treating
with
any
other
Princes
,
to
his
great
reproach
,
unless
he
would
first
procure
the
Assent
of
his
Estates
to
their
Proposition
.
And
will
you
cast
your
eyes
upon
the
late
Times
,
you
shall
find
that
the
late
Queen
of
Famous
memory
,
was
humbly
petitioned
by
a
Parliament
to
be
pleased
to
marry
:
But
her
Answer
was
,
that
she
liked
their
petition
well
,
because
it
was
simple
,
not
limiting
her
to
place
or
person
,
as
not
besitting
her
liking
to
their
Fancies
;
and
if
they
had
done
otherwise
,
she
would
have
thought
it
a
high
presumption
in
them
.
Judge
then
what
We
may
do
in
such
a
Case
?
having
made
our
public
Declaration
already
(
as
we
said
before
)
directly
contrary
to
that
which
you
have
now
petitioned
.
Now
to
the
points
in
your
Petition
,
whereof
you
desire
an
answer
as
properly
belonging
to
the
Parliament
.
The
first
and
the
greatest
point
is
that
of
Religion
,
concerning
which
at
this
time
We
can
give
you
no
other
answer
than
in
the
General
;
which
is
,
that
you
may
rest
secure
,
that
We
will
never
be
weary
to
do
all
we
can
for
the
propagation
of
Our
Religion
,
and
repressing
of
Popery
.
But
the
manner
and
form
you
must
remit
to
Our
care
and
providence
,
who
can
best
consider
of
Times
and
Seasons
;
not
by
undertaking
a
public
War
of
Religion
through
all
the
World
at
once
;
which
,
how
hard
and
dangerous
a
task
it
may
prove
,
you
may
judge
.
But
this
puts
Us
in
mind
how
all
the
World
complained
the
last
year
of
plenty
of
Corn
,
and
God
hath
sent
Us
a
cooling
Card
this
year
for
that
heat
.
And
so
We
pray
God
that
this
desire
among
you
of
Kindling
Wars
(
shewing
your
weariness
of
Peace
and
Plenty
)
may
not
make
God
permit
Us
to
fall
into
the
miseries
of
both
.
Wars
good
to
prevent
wars
.
But
as
we
already
said
,
Our
care
of
Religion
must
be
such
,
as
on
the
one
part
We
must
not
by
the
hot
persecution
of
Our
Recusants
at
home
,
irritate
forrain
Princes
of
contrary
Religion
,
and
teach
them
the
way
to
plague
the
Protestants
in
their
Dominions
,
whom
with
We
dayly
intercede
,
and
at
this
time
principally
for
ease
to
them
of
Our
profession
,
that
live
under
them
.
Yet
upon
the
other
part
,
We
never
mean
to
spare
from
due
and
severe
punishment
any
Papist
that
will
grow
insolent
,
for
living
under
Our
so
mild
Government
.
And
you
may
also
be
assured
,
We
will
leave
no
Care
untaken
,
as
well
for
the
good
Education
of
the
youth
at
home
,
especially
the
Children
of
Papists
,
as
also
for
preserving
at
all
times
hereafter
the
youth
that
are
or
shall
be
abroad
,
from
being
bred
in
dangerous
places
,
and
so
poisoned
in
Popish
Seminaries
.
And
as
in
this
point
,
namely
,
concerning
the
good
Education
of
Popish
youth
at
Home
,
We
have
already
given
some
good
proofs
both
in
this
Kingdom
,
and
in
Ireland
,
so
will
We
be
well
pleased
to
pass
any
good
Laws
that
shall
be
made
,
either
now
,
or
any
time
hereafter
to
this
purpose
.
And
as
to
your
request
of
making
this
a
Session
,
and
granting
a
general
pardon
,
it
shall
be
in
your
Defaults
,
if
We
make
not
this
a
Session
before
Christmas
.
But
for
the
Pardon
,
ye
crave
such
particulars
in
it
,
as
We
must
be
well
advised
upon
,
lest
otherwise
we
give
you
back
the
double
or
treble
of
that
we
are
to
receive
by
your
entire
Subsidy
,
without
Fifteens
.
But
the
ordinary
course
We
hold
fittest
to
be
used
still
in
this
Case
,
is
,
that
We
should
of
our
free
grace
send
you
down
a
Pardon
from
the
higher
House
,
containing
such
points
as
We
shall
think
fittest
,
wherein
we
hope
ye
shall
receive
good
satisfaction
.
But
We
cannot
omit
to
shew
you
how
strange
we
think
it
,
that
ye
should
make
so
bad
and
unjust
a
Commentary
upon
some
words
of
our
former
Letter
,
as
if
we
meant
to
restrain
you
thereby
of
your
ancient
privileges
and
liberties
in
Parliament
.
Truly
a
Scholler
would
be
ashamed
so
to
misplace
,
and
mis-judge
any
Sentences
in
another
Mans
book
.
For
whereas
in
the
end
of
our
former
Letter
We
discharge
you
to
meddle
with
matters
of
Government
and
Mysteries
of
State
,
namely
,
Matters
of
War
or
Peace
,
or
our
dearest
Sons
Match
with
Spain
;
by
which
particular
denominations
,
We
interpret
,
and
restrain
Our
former
words
:
And
then
after
We
forbid
you
to
meddle
with
such
things
as
have
their
Ordinary
course
in
Courts
of
Justice
:
yet
couple
together
those
two
distinct
Sentences
,
and
plainly
leave
out
these
words
,
Of
Mysteries
of
State
;
err●àbenè
●àbenè
divisis
ad
malè
conjecta
.
For
of
the
former
part
concerning
Mysteries
of
State
,
We
plainly
restrained
our
meaning
to
the
particulars
that
were
after
mentioned
.
And
in
the
latter
we
confess
we
meant
it
by
Sir
Edward
Cook
's
foolish
business
.
And
therefore
it
had
well
become
him
,
especially
being
Our
Servant
,
and
One
of
Our
Consel
to
have
complained
unto
Us
,
which
he
never
did
,
though
he
was
ordinarily
at
Court
since
,
and
never
had
access
refused
unto
him
.
And
although
We
cannot
allow
of
the
stile
,
calling
it
,
Your
Ancient
and
undoubted
right
and
inheritance
,
but
could
rather
have
wished
that
ye
had
said
,
That
your
Privileges
were
derived
from
the
Grace
,
and
permission
of
our
Ancestors
and
Us
(
for
most
of
them
grow
from
Precedents
,
which
shews
rather
a
toleration
than
inheritance
)
yet
we
are
pleased
to
give
you
Our
Royal
assurance
,
that
as
long
as
you
shall
contain
your
selves
within
the
limits
of
your
Duty
,
we
will
be
as
careful
to
maintain
,
and
preserve
your
lawful
Liberties
and
Privileges
,
as
ever
any
of
Our
Predecessors
were
;
nay
,
as
to
preserve
Our
own
Royal
Prerogative
.
So
as
your
House
shall
only
have
need
to
beware
to
trench
upon
the
Prerogative
of
the
Crown
;
which
would
enforce
Us
,
or
any
just
King
to
retrench
them
of
their
Privileges
that
would
pare
his
Prerogative
and
Flowers
of
the
Crown
.
But
of
this
We
hope
there
shall
be
never
cause
given
.
This
was
the
effect
of
the
King's
Answer
,
which
was
dated
at
New-market
the
11.
of
December
1621.
Thus
the
King
acted
his
part
,
and
though
his
answer
might
be
the
Result
of
his
thoughts
,
The
King
and
People
Competitors
.
yet
it
was
some
transcendent
Cause
that
put
it
into
Words
,
for
his
Nature
was
apt
enough
to
fear
the
Sound
of
its
own
impressions
.
But
now
his
Spirit
was
mounted
,
either
the
Breach
of
the
Treaty
with
Spain
,
or
the
Breach
(
as
he
thought
)
upon
his
Prerogative
gave
wing
,
to
raise
his
Anger
higher
than
his
fear
.
Princes
that
never
knew
how
to
obey
,
ride
their
Passions
with
a
loose
rein
,
and
are
easiest
carried
by
that
impulsion
.
The
Prince
and
the
People
are
here
Competitors
,
both
jealous
of
encroachments
,
both
striving
to
prevent
them
.
Liberty
is
a
power
that
gives
a
well
being
,
and
life
to
the
People
.
Power
is
a
liberty
that
Princes
take
to
be
the
very
life
of
their
Being
.
Kings
are
like
the
Sea
,
and
the
people
like
the
land
,
the
industry
of
the
one
striving
with
the
Piles
,
and
Banks
of
good
laws
,
and
Precedents
,
to
bound
the
often-springtides
,
and
over-flowing
of
the
other
.
In
Scotland
the
Land
was
high
,
Rocky
,
and
inaccessible
for
his
Waves
though
never
so
boisterous
;
Here
he
finds
a
smooth
Shore
,
and
the
people
as
tame
in
their
obedience
,
as
they
were
in
their
sufferings
,
which
makes
him
the
bolder
with
them
.
But
the
Parliament
(
weighing
the
King's
answer
by
the
Ballance
of
Reason
,
not
Passion
)
found
that
there
was
little
for
them
to
do
.
Discourses
upon
the
Kings
Answer
.
For
how
is
this
a
mixt
Government
,
when
Kings
do
what
they
please
?
They
Call
their
People
to
a
Parliament
,
where
the
three
Estates
are
said
to
be
the
mixt
Government
,
but
what
is
their
great
Errand
?
to
get
Money
.
If
they
touch
upon
miscarriage
in
Government
,
it
disparages
him
to
his
people
,
(
for
now
the
inside
of
his
Copses
are
well
grown
again
.
)
If
upon
Religion
,
he
knows
well
enough
how
to
order
that
,
if
the
Treaty
with
Spain
goes
on
.
And
for
the
affairs
of
State
,
he
seems
to
imply
as
if
there
were
some
hidden
and
secret
Art
in
those
Mysteries
of
King-craft
,
that
the
Parliaments
apprehension
cannot
reach
.
For
,
who
can
have
wisdom
(
saith
he
)
to
judge
of
things
CAESAR

of
that
Nature
,
but
those
that
are
traded
in
them
?
Every
man
in
his
Profession
!
So
the
Priests
by
their
old
Oracles
did
strive
to
keep
the
World
in
ignorance
,
as
the
Romish
Factors
do
now
.
Whereas
the
true
way
of
Treaties
is
with
Christian
,
not
Machiavelian
policy
.
This
we
require
,
this
answer
we
expect
,
you
shall
have
this
Retribution
from
Us.
If
you
go
about
to
cozen
and
cheat
Us
by
delays
,
and
spin
out
time
for
ends
,
such
Syrens
must
not
be
listened
after
.
Every
State
must
stand
upon
the
foundation
of
its
own
Reason
and
Power
,
and
not
build
Castles
of
paper
.
Hopes
upon
deceitful
promises
,
unless
there
be
such
redundant
Causes
of
dependency
upon
them
,
as
it
is
impossible
to
subsist
without
them
.
It
was
observed
by
Comines
,
that
in
all
Treaties
betwixt
the
English
and
the
French
,
the
English
ever
had
the
worst
;
but
in
all
Wars
and
Conflicts
,
the
English
had
the
better
:
intimating
that
Subtil●y
may
deceive
,
but
plain
down-right
Honesty
is
best
,
and
will
prevail
.
Falsness
is
fit
for
such
spirits
as
Pope
Alexander
,
or
his
Nephew
,
Caesar
Borgia
,
Scipio
,
though
a
Heathen
in
his
pactions
with
Spain
and
Carthage
,
scorned
it
;
and
the
old
Roman
Senate
were
so
Gallant
,
as
to
rebuke
Lucius
Marcius
,
their
Ambassador
and
General
,
because
in
the
managing
of
his
Wars
and
Treaties
,
with
Perseus
King
of
Macedon
,
he
went
about
by
subtilties
to
circumvent
him
.
And
now
an
Ambassador
(
as
one
saith
)
lyes
abroad
,
Reipublicae
causa
,
for
the
good
of
his
Countrey
,
which
tends
rather
to
the
hurt
of
it
.
But
now
they
find
that
the
King
would
only
make
Merchandize
of
the
Common-wealth
,
The
Parliament
the
Kings
Merchants
.
yet
Merchants
look
for
their
Money
again
with
advantage
,
and
therefore
their
Counsel
in
disposing
it
may
be
well
spared
.
But
the
Parliament
it
they
raise
Money
from
the
People
(
which
is
never
to
be
repayed
)
there
is
good
reason
they
should
know
not
only
to
what
purpose
it
is
levied
,
but
how
prudently
and
sitly
laid
out
:
otherwise
as
the
King
tells
them
in
the
comparison
of
the
Robber
(
though
in
relation
to
his
Prerogative
)
if
they
should
be
summoned
to
levy
Money
of
the
people
without
consideration
of
what
it
is
for
,
or
how
it
shall
be
disposed
for
the
good
of
the
Kingdom
,
they
may
very
well
say
and
protest
,
That
they
meant
not
to
take
it
from
them
so
;
that
is
,
not
to
rob
them
of
it
.
But
the
King's
necessities
must
come
under
the
Common
Emergencies
,
which
he
would
not
have
known
;
and
what
will
one
Subsidy
without
fifteens
do
?
The
Protestants
want
in
the
Palatinate
,
so
doth
he
in
England
:
But
he
had
lately
a
great
assistance
from
his
People
,
never
King
of
England
found
greater
love
,
(
as
he
saith
of
himself
)
yet
he
wants
still
,
and
would
have
supply
for
it
under
the
notion
of
a
War
.
They
must
consider
what
Money
is
fit
,
what
Foot
,
what
Horse
necessary
,
but
they
must
not
know
for
what
.
All
that
they
can
imagine
,
is
,
that
the
King
wants
Money
for
his
Favourite
Buckingham
,
and
his
kindred
,
to
furnish
them
against
Christmas
,
for
feasting
,
gaming
,
and
bravery
,
the
three
main
pillars
of
the
Times
licentiousness
,
raised
up
to
a
stupendious
and
excessive
height
,
or
to
send
out
his
Ambassadors
,
or
help
his
indigent
and
expensive
Courtiers
,
and
then
the
Wars
are
ended
;
for
Want
is
a
great
War
.
But
if
the
good
of
the
Kingdom
,
the
establishment
of
Religion
,
the
happiness
of
the
King
and
his
Posterity
be
not
fit
Themes
for
them
to
discourse
of
,
why
are
they
called
?
The
late
Queen
(
whose
memory
will
be
for
ever
famous
)
by
the
King
's
own
relation
liked
the
Parliaments
Petition
well
,
when
they
humbly
besought
her
to
marry
,
because
they
did
not
prescribe
her
place
and
person
,
but
left
that
to
her
Election
,
if
they
had
done
otherwise
,
She
would
have
thought
it
presumption
in
them
.
The
King
thinks
it
presumption
in
the
Parliament
,
humbly
to
beseech
him
(
for
the
good
of
Religion
)
to
permit
his
Son
to
marry
with
a
Protestant
Princess
,
if
they
had
fixt
upon
place
or
person
,
he
would
have
thought
it
High
Treason
.
So
many
degrees
high
was
the
King's
spirit
mounted
above
a
Woman's
to
humble
Subjects
,
and
so
many
degrees
lower
then
Hers
was
his
Spirit
to
daring
Enemies
.
Some
of
these
things
were
publickly
discoursed
of
among
them
in
the
House
,
and
other-some
muttered
and
talkt
of
in
private
(
for
full
breasts
will
find
vent
)
but
the
main
business
that
the
Commons
insisted
on
,
was
the
King's
incroachment
upon
their
Liberties
,
debarring
them
freedom
of
speech
in
Parliament
,
which
was
a
Natural
,
Reasonable
,
and
uncontroul'd
immunity
,
as
long
as
they
kept
themselves
within
the
limits
of
their
duty
,
which
the
House
was
to
be
the
sole
judge
of
.
And
who
can
tax
any
particular
Member
with
miscarriages
that
way
,
that
the
house
hath
not
Censured
hitherto
?
for
now
the
heat
is
but
new
broke
in
among
them
,
and
this
liberty
of
speech
stuck
most
with
them
;
for
if
any
man
should
speak
any
thing
to
displease
the
King
(
though
it
tended
never
so
much
to
the
good
of
the
Kingdom
)
it
might
be
termed
insolent
behaviour
,
and
be
liable
to
punishment
after
Parliament
(
if
not
then
)
as
the
King
threatens
in
his
Letter
;
which
carried
such
a
Terror
and
over-awing
with
it
,
that
they
resolved
to
give
over
all
business
,
left
they
should
offend
.
Which
the
King
hearing
of
,
writes
again
to
his
Secretary
,
Calvert
,
and
the
Speaker
,
to
take
off
the
edge
of
those
sharp
expressions
he
used
in
his
Letters
,
thinking
to
cool
the
heat
among
them
.
But
before
this
heat
was
in
the
House
of
Commons
,
The
higher
House
offended
.
the
Lords
began
to
consider
how
cheap
they
were
made
by
the
multitude
of
Irish
,
and
Scotch
Earls
and
Viscounts
,
the
King
had
accumulated
,
not
the
Natives
of
those
Kingdoms
,
but
private
English
Gentlemen
,
who
had
procured
,
and
assumed
those
Titles
,
to
perch
above
the
English
Baronry
,
to
their
great
regret
and
dishonour
.
And
after
some
debate
,
and
canvassing
in
it
,
they
resolved
,
That
though
they
could
not
debar
the
King
from
making
such
swarms
of
Nobles
with
Outlandish
Titles
,
yet
they
would
let
him
know
what
prejudice
it
was
to
them
,
and
if
it
produced
no
other
good
effect
,
the
King
might
at
least
see
they
took
offence
,
and
were
not
well
pleased
with
it
,
which
made
them
present
him
with
this
Petition
,
thus
Subsigned
.
The
Humble
Petition
of
the
Nobility
of
England
.
THat
whereas
your
Majesty
at
the
importunity
of
some
natural
Subjects
of
this
Realm
of
England
,
They
Petition
.
hath
been
pleased
to
confer
upon
them
,
Honours
,
Titles
,
and
Dignities
,
peculiar
to
other
your
Majestie
's
Dominions
,
by
which
all
the
Nobility
of
this
Realm
,
either
in
themselves
,
their
Children
or
both
,
find
they
are
prejudiced
.
Our
humble
desire
is
,
that
with
your
gracious
allowance
,
we
may
challenge
,
and
preserve
our
Birth-rights
,
And
that
we
may
take
no
more
notice
of
these
Titulars
to
our
Prejudice
,
than
the
Law
of
this
Land
doth
,
but
that
we
may
be
excused
,
if
in
civil
courtesie
,
we
give
them
not
the
respect
or
place
,
as
to
Noblemen
strangers
,
seeing
that
these
being
our
Country
Men
,
born
and
inheritanced
under
our
Laws
,
their
families
and
abode
among
us
,
have
yet
procured
their
Translation
into
foreign
names
,
only
to
our
injury
.
But
in
this
address
to
your
Sacred
Majesty
,
it
is
far
from
Us
to
meddle
with
,
much
less
to
limit
,
or
interpret
the
Power
of
your
Soveraignty
,
knowing
that
your
Majesty
(
being
the
Root
whence
all
Honour
receives
Sap
,
under
what
Title
soever
)
may
collate
what
you
please
,
upon
whom
,
when
,
and
how
you
please
;
Wherefore
in
all
humbleness
We
present
this
to
your
gracious
view
,
confident
of
your
Majesties
equal
favour
herein

Thus
we
see
the
Errors
of
Princes
,
The
King
angry
.
are
sometimes
put
into
the
Scale
,
and
they
bring
with
them
so
much
trouble
and
vexation
that
they
often
weigh
down
their
Glory
and
Happiness
;
for
no
man
can
feel
the
load
and
burthen
of
it
,
but
he
that
wears
a
Crown
.
The
King
was
conscious
to
himself
that
he
had
done
these
Noblemen
injury
,
especially
the
Barons
,
to
advance
their
inferiours
above
them
,
for
a
little
profit
either
to
himself
or
his
Courtiers
.
And
if
he
had
not
heard
of
this
Petition
before
,
such
a
Troop
of
attendance
together
might
have
startled
him
,
but
being
prepared
for
it
,
he
mustered
up
his
Spirits
,
thinking
it
too
great
an
abasement
for
Majesty
to
stoop
at
their
Summons
,
being
so
publick
an
Action
;
or
to
lesson
or
recall
what
he
had
done
.
Yet
he
was
troubled
,
not
knowing
what
quarrels
the
strife
for
place
and
precedency
might
produce
;
or
what
ill
blood
the
discontent
of
so
many
of
the
Nobility
at
one
time
might
ingender
:
Therefore
he
sent
for
them
all
,
or
the
most
eminent
and
leading
men
of
them
,
some
days
after
,
and
expostulated
the
business
with
them
,
one
by
one
,
in
private
,
knowing
he
could
deal
best
with
them
so
,
beginning
with
some
of
them
roughly
,
yet
still
he
closed
with
them
at
last
,
his
anger
being
(
as
it
were
)
raised
to
make
them
humble
,
and
reconcile
themselves
to
him
,
that
he
might
the
better
reconcile
himself
to
them
.
And
to
the
Earl
of
Essex
he
vented
this
Expression
,
I
fear
thee
not
Essex
,
if
thou
wert
as
well
beloved
as
thy
father
,
and
hadst
forty
thousand
men
at
thy
heels
.
Which
words
he
uttered
as
if
he
had
chid
himself
that
they
made
an
escape
from
him
.
And
though
this
Petition
did
not
derogate
from
the
Dignity
of
those
creations
past
,
yet
the
King
willingly
restrained
himself
for
the
time
to
come
.
But
the
House
of
Commons
found
the
King's
Letters
to
entangle
the
way
rather
than
make
a
free
passage
to
their
Liberties
,
The
Commons
discontent
.
for
that
which
was
their
birth-right
would
now
come
to
be
derived
from
his
Ancestors
.
And
for
all
the
King's
finenesses
they
thought
Religion
very
un
secure
:
for
as
long
as
the
bent
of
his
Affections
tended
to
the
Spanish
match
,
there
must
needs
be
a
wide
Gap
open
as
an
inlet
to
Popery
;
and
if
it
may
be
made
Treason
for
his
Parliament
to
advise
him
from
it
,
they
saw
but
a
very
small
door
left
open
to
liberty
.
But
whatsoever
befell
them
,
they
resolved
to
leave
to
posterity
some
prints
and
footsteps
of
their
Parliamentary
Rights
and
Privileges
,
left
them
by
their
great
Ancestors
,
that
though
they
could
not
preserve
them
intire
,
those
that
succeed
them
might
at
least
find
some
Reliques
,
and
ruins
of
what
they
had
;
Which
made
them
make
this
Protestation
recorded
in
their
Iournal
Book
,
19.
Dec.
1621.
THe
Commons
now
Assembled
in
Parliament
,
Their
Protestation
.
being
justly
occasioned
thereunto
,
concerning
sundry
Liberties
,
Franchises
,
and
Privileges
of
Parliament
,
among
others
here
mentioned
,
do
make
this
Protestation
following
.
That
the
Liberties
,
Franchises
,
Privileges
,
and
Iurisdictions
of
Parliament
,
are
the
ancient
and
undoubted
Birth-right
,
and
inheritance
of
the
Subjects
of
England
,
And
that
the
arduous
and
urgent
affairs
concerning
the
King
,
State
,
and
defence
of
the
Realm
,
and
of
the
Church
of
England
,
and
the
Maintenance
,
and
making
of
Laws
,
and
redress
of
Mischiefs
and
grievances
,
which
daily
happen
within
this
Realm
,
are
proper
Subjects
,
and
matter
of
Counsel
,
and
debate
in
Parliament
.
And
that
in
the
handling
and
proceeding
of
those
businesses
,
every
Member
of
Parliament
hath
,
and
of
right
ought
to
have
freedom
of
Speech
,
to
propound
,
treat
,
reason
,
and
bring
to
Conclusion
the
same
.
And
that
the
Commons
in
Parliament
have
likewise
liberty
,
and
freedom
to
treat
of
these
Matters
,
in
such
order
as
in
their
judgments
shall
seem
fittest
.
And
that
every
Member
of
the
said
House
hath
like
Freedom
,
from
all
impeachment
,
imprisonment
,
and
Molestation
,
(
other
then
by
censure
of
the
house
it self
)
for
,
or
concerning
any
speaking
,
reasoning
,
or
declaring
of
any
matter
or
matters
,
touching
the
Parliament
,
or
Parliament
business
.
And
that
if
any
of
the
said
Members
be
complained
of
,
and
questioned
for
any
thing
done
,
or
said
in
Parliament
,
the
same
is
to
be
shewed
to
the
King
,
by
the
advice
and
assent
of
all
the
Commons
assembled
in
Parliament
,
before
the
King
give
credence
to
any
private
information
.
The
King
was
again
Alarum'd
by
this
Protestation
,
The
King's
trouble
increases
.
and
he
that
naturally
loved
Peace
,
both
at
home
and
abroad
,
found
a
loud
War
in
his
own
Breast
,
which
indeed
was
in
effect
raised
by
himself
,
for
no
wisdom
could
resolve
the
Intricacies
of
his
Resolutions
but
his
own
;
for
he
would
have
a
War
with
the
Emperor
in
Contemplation
,
and
a
Treaty
with
the
King
of
Spain
in
Action
,
both
at
one
time
,
who
were
(
as
it
were
)
one
person
;
and
because
the
Parliament
,
like
wise
Mathematicians
,
would
use
the
Practical
part
as
well
as
the
Theory
,
he
was
enraged
against
them
,
and
his
Prerogative
stept
in
as
a
stickler
,
and
broke
out
like
an
Exhalation
,
in
thundring
,
and
terror
,
to
the
Astonishment
,
and
fear
of
his
people
,
which
made
them
shrowd
themselves
from
those
storms
,
by
creeping
under
the
Shelter
of
their
Native
liberties
.
And
now
the
King
flies
from
his
hot
and
intemperate
Region
,
to
soom
cool
Considerations
.
If
he
should
yield
by
Silence
,
or
Connivence
to
this
Protestation
,
it
would
remain
as
an
impregnable
Bulwark
for
the
people
to
Posterity
.
And
what
is
this
terrible
thing
?
their
just
Liberties
.
If
he
should
oppose
it
with
Rigor
,
it
might
produce
such
an
intestine
Division
at
home
,
as
with
all
industry
he
strove
to
prevent
abroad
.
Break
the
Treaty
with
Spain
he
would
not
,
his
Heart
was
too
much
set
upon
it
,
for
he
could
find
no
Protestant
Princess
good
enough
,
the
high
and
elated
Extraction
of
Kings
,
will
raise
the
people
up
to
a
kind
of
Adoration
(
as
the
old
Heathens
did
the
Race
of
their
Gods
and
Heroes
.
)
Whereas
true
Honesty
and
piety
,
finds
out
such
matches
as
may
as
well
bring
Glory
to
God
as
to
man
,
not
worldly
Blessings
only
,
but
heavenly
also
.
Lose
the
love
of
the
people
he
was
loth
,
for
he
thought
his
peaceable
Reign
gained
upon
them
,
and
that
no
King
had
ever
deserved
better
of
a
People
than
he
.
But
Peace
is
a
kind
of
Soft
Rayment
,
or
Masking-dress
,
not
always
to
be
worn
;
Standing
lakes
beget
Corruption
.
The
Pool
of
Bethesda
had
no
Virtue
till
it
was
stirred
.
War
is
necessary
as
Physick
for
unsound
Bodies
.
Iustum
id
bellum
quibus
necessarium
.
When
the
King
had
weighed
every
particular
scruple
,
The
Parliament
is
dissolved
.
by
the
Ballance
of
his
own
Reason
,
and
Councel
about
him
,
he
took
a
Resolution
to
dissolve
the
Parliament
;
which
he
did
,
by
Proclamation
the
sixth
of
Ianuary
,
being
fifteen
days
after
the
Protestation
was
made
,
so
much
time
he
measured
out
by
the
Scale
of
consideration
,
before
he
would
pull
down
such
a
Structure
of
Love
as
never
was
built
by
the
people
for
any
of
his
Predecessors
,
which
he
implies
in
his
Proclamation
▪
laying
there
all
the
blame
upon
the
House
of
Commons
,
and
not
on
them
in
general
,
but
on
some
ill-tempered
Spirits
(
as
he
called
them
)
that
sowed
Tares
among
the
Corn
,
and
frustrated
the
Hopes
of
a
plentiful
Harvest
.
Striving
by
these
imputations
to
take
away
the
Odium
,
that
such
a
Dissolution
might
produce
.
The
Parliament
(
and
consequently
the
Union
between
the
King
and
People
)
being
thus
dissolved
,
A
Proclamation
against
talking
.
every
man's
tongue
is
let
loose
to
run
Riot
.
And
though
the
King
loved
Hunting
above
all
other
exercises
,
and
had
many
good
Hunters
about
him
,
yet
all
those
,
and
the
Strength
of
a
Proclamation
(
put
out
to
forbid
talking
of
State
Affairs
)
could
not
restrain
them
from
mouthing
out
:
That
Great
Britain
was
become
less
than
little
England
;
that
they
had
lost
strength
by
changing
Sexes
,
and
that
he
was
no
King
but
a
Fidler's
Son
,
otherwise
he
would
not
suffer
such
disorders
at
home
,
and
so
much
dishonour
abroad
.
So
dangerous
it
is
for
Princes
by
a
stegmatick
remisseness
,
to
slacken
the
ligaments
of
the
peoples
tongues
,
for
such
an
overflux
of
bad
Humor
may
bring
their
obedience
to
a
Paralytick
!
And
the
Story
of
David
Ricius
written
by
the
King
's
own
Tutor
,
Buchanan
,
had
died
in
every
English
Opinion
,
if
it
had
not
had
a
new
Impression
by
these
miscarriages
.
Edward
Herbert
Lord
Herbert
of
Castle
●Land
and
Lord
H●rbert
of
C●●erbery
in
England
The
Earl
of
Oxford
was
betrayed
,
Oxford
and
Southampton
committed
.
and
accused
by
one
White
a
Papist
,
(
who
was
vulgarly
called
after
in
derision
,
by
the
Name
of
Oxford-White
)
to
have
spoken
some
words
to
the
Dishonour
of
the
King
,
and
disparagement
of
his
Government
,
and
was
committed
to
the
Tower
.
The
Earl
of
Southampton
was
also
committed
to
the
Dean
of
Westminster
.
Oxford
lay
by
it
a
great
while
,
and
being
an
Active
man
,
the
King
sent
him
at
last
to
Sea
,
to
be
one
of
Buckingham's
Vice-Admirals
for
the
English
Coast
,
while
Sir
Robert
Mansell
guarded
the
Coasts
of
Spain
from
being
infested
with
the
Turks
of
Algier
,
Sir
Ed.
Cook
in
disgrace
.
and
Sally
.
Sir
Edward
Cook
that
was
looked
upon
as
one
of
the
great
incendiaries
in
the
House
of
Commons
is
put
from
the
Council
Table
with
disgrace
.
The
King
saying
,
he
was
the
fittest
instrument
for
a
Tyrant
that
ever
was
in
England
.
And
yet
in
the
House
he
called
the
King's
Prerogative
,
a
great
Over-grown
Monster
.
And
how
can
these
agree
.
Unless
because
the
King
would
not
take
his
counsel
,
he
hanged
himself
on
the
other
side
.
But
whether
the
King
had
cause
to
say
the
one
I
know
not
,
but
he
(
it
seems
)
found
cause
enough
to
say
the
other
.
Sir
Thomas
Crew
,
Some
punished
,
some
preferred
.
Sir
Dudly
Digges
,
Sir
Nathaniel
Rich
,
and
Sir
Iames
Perrot
,
men
of
great
Repute
,
and
knowledge
,
active
in
the
House
,
were
sent
into
Ireland
,
and
joyned
with
others
in
commission
,
to
inquire
into
Misdemeanors
committed
there
,
but
(
it
was
thought
)
as
a
punishment
for
what
they
had
committed
here
,
for
they
were
long
detained
from
their
own
occasions
,
under
the
colour
of
an
honorable
imployment
;
And
Sir
Peter
Hammon
of
Kent
and
others
,
were
sent
into
the
Palatinate
.
This
kind
of
punishment
beginning
now
to
be
in
fashion
,
and
not
long
after
this
,
Sir
Iohn
Savile
,
the
Knight
of
York-shire
,
that
carried
all
the
Country
at
a
Beck
,
and
a
powerful
Man
in
the
House
,
is
taken
off
by
the
King
,
made
Comptroler
of
his
Household
,
a
Privy
Councellor
,
and
not
long
after
a
Baron
,
so
the
King
found
out
two
ways
of
silencing
those
that
were
able
to
do
him
mischief
.
Active
Spirits
that
come
too
near
him
,
must
either
come
nearer
to
him
,
or
be
sent
further
from
him
,
which
he
doubts
not
will
take
off
the
edge
,
and
bate
the
sharpness
of
the
Humor
another
time
.
And
these
preferments
and
punishments
were
also
practised
by
his
successor
with
this
Experiment
in
both
,
that
the
most
popular
men
,
as
soon
as
they
wore
the
Court
Livery
,
lost
the
love
of
the
people
;
but
those
that
suffered
for
them
,
were
the
more
beloved
and
admired
by
them
.
The
Commons
of
England
having
more
than
an
ordinary
Genius
to
support
and
strengthen
the
pillars
of
their
Liberties
.
And
as
these
Troubles
bred
disturbance
at
home
,
The
King
dishonoured
abroad
.
so
they
begot
discredit
abroad
,
for
now
(
by
this
Breach
)
they
undervalued
the
King's
power
as
much
as
they
did
before
his
Spirit
:
yea
,
even
in
the
King
of
Spain's
own
Towns
(
whilst
this
beloved
Treaty
was
in
heat
)
they
in
their
Comedies
presented
Messengers
bringing
News
in
haste
,
That
the
Palatinate
was
like
to
have
a
very
formidable
Army
shortly
on
foot
:
For
the
King
of
Denmark
would
furnish
him
with
a
hundred
thousand
picked
Herrings
,
the
Hollanders
with
a
hundred
thousand
Butter-boxes
,
and
England
with
a
hundred
thousand
Ambassadors
.
And
they
picture
the
King
in
one
place
with
a
Scabberd
without
a
Sword
.
In
another
place
with
a
Sword
that
no
body
could
draw
out
,
though
divers
stand
pulling
at
it
.
At
Bruxels
they
painted
him
with
his
pockets
hanging
out
,
and
never
a
penny
in
them
,
nor
in
his
purse
,
turned
upside
down
.
In
Antwer●
they
pictured
the
Queen
of
Bohemia
like
a
poor
Irish
Mantler
,
with
her
hair
hanging
about
her
ears
,
and
her
child
at
her
back
,
with
the
King
her
father
carrying
the
Cradle
after
her
;
and
every
one
of
these
Pictures
had
several
Motto's
expressing
their
Malice
.
Such
Scorns
and
Contempts
were
put
upon
the
King
,
and
in
him
on
the
Whole
Nation
.
And
now
the
Treaty
goes
on
amain
.
The
Lord
Digby
is
sent
into
Spain
extraordinary
Ambassador
.
To
relate
the
manner
of
whose
entertainment
after
his
arrival
there
,
it
may
not
be
impertinent
:
for
by
it
may
be
discovered
the
Course-grain
of
Spanish
civility
,
and
how
much
our
Ambassador
went
against
the
hair
then
,
though
happily
the
way
may
be
smother
now
.
He
landed
at
St.
Andero
in
Biscay
,
a
poor
Maritime
Town
,
where
the
people
for
the
most
part
go
all
barefoot
:
and
there
his
Lordship
had
the
patience
to
stay
a
Fortnight
expecting
the
Court
civilities
,
which
were
then
upon
remove
from
Madrid
to
Lerma
(
being
part
of
the
way
to
St.
Andero
)
without
any
intention
to
meet
his
Lordship
.
When
his
expectations
were
tired
with
attending
their
Formalities
,
he
sent
his
Secretary
,
Simon
Digby
,
to
Madrid
,
to
be
a
Solicitor
to
the
Duke
of
Lerma
(
who
then
bore
the
sway
)
that
he
might
have
his
first
Audience
at
Lerma
.
And
after
some
waiting
time
(
though
he
had
Our
King's
Agent
,
Mr.
Cottington
,
for
his
Assistant
)
he
was
returned
with
a
Spanish
shrug
,
That
the
King
would
by
no
means
admit
of
his
desire
,
because
he
knew
the
Ambassador
came
about
business
,
and
he
went
to
Lerma
only
for
pleasure
.
This
was
a
Rub
in
his
Lordship's
way
,
and
being
impatient
till
it
were
removed
,
he
sent
again
to
Court
a
second
Petition
,
which
was
to
be
presented
with
all
the
power
Cottington
could
make
,
and
his
importunity
got
the
upper
hand
of
the
Spanish
Resolution
(
though
much
against
their
minds
)
that
he
might
come
to
Lerma
;
for
which
his
Lordship
was
so
elevated
in
his
spirits
,
that
he
pleased
himself
in
an
endeavouring
way
to
express
,
That
the
King
of
Spain
would
not
have
done
this
favour
to
any
Ambassador
,
but
the
King
of
England's
;
nor
to
any
that
our
King
should
have
sent
,
but
himself
.
And
it
may
be
partly
true
,
for
none
(
it
is
hoped
)
would
have
begg'd
it
so
shamefully
as
he
did
;
for
there
was
no
business
to
be
expected
;
that
must
be
turned
into
feasting
and
jollity
;
and
if
he
had
not
hunted
after
the
King
of
Spain
for
the
favour
,
they
would
have
let
Don
Iuvan
,
(
as
they
called
him
)
dance
attendance
at
Madrid
till
all
their
Sports
at
Lerma
had
been
finished
.
For
all
his
Train
(
many
of
them
Knights
,
and
Gentlemen
,
of
good
quality
)
,
murmured
to
see
him
so
sleighted
by
the
Spaniard
;
that
being
known
to
be
a
whole
month
in
the
Countrey
,
he
had
not
the
least
message
or
civility
from
the
Court
;
which
extraordinary
miscarriage
,
would
have
put
any
but
an
Extraordinary
Ambassador
out
of
countenance
.
But
his
Lordship
made
Bonne
mine
,
and
pleased
himself
with
the
great
favours
he
should
receive
at
Lerma
,
and
so
came
forward
to
Burgos
,
which
is
within
twenty
English
miles
of
Lerma
:
And
though
the
Court
had
been
a
Fortnight
at
Lerma
,
yet
there
was
no
more
news
of
his
Reception
at
Burgos
,
than
if
he
had
been
still
at
St.
Andero
.
And
now
his
Lordship
fearing
they
would
wholly
neglect
him
,
thought
it
his
best
course
to
send
Cottington
(
who
met
him
at
Burgos
)
to
Lerma
,
to
learn
what
their
pleasure
was
to
do
with
him
;
who
returning
brought
word
,
that
the
next
day
he
should
have
advice
what
Order
would
be
taken
.
And
accordingly
one
of
the
Duke
of
Lerma's
Secretaries
sent
a
poor
fellow
with
a
Letter
,
that
the
next
day
(
being
Sunday
)
there
should
be
two
Coaches
sent
,
to
bring
his
Lordship
on
Tuesday
following
to
Villa
Manza
(
a
Village
a
mile
short
of
Lerma
)
where
his
Lodgings
should
be
ready
,
and
the
King's
Harbingers
attending
to
prepare
all
things
with
Diligence
.
This
gave
new
life
to
his
Lordship's
spirits
;
the
Coaches
came
according
to
the
time
,
and
to
Villa
Manza
they
went
,
every
man
furnished
in
his
best
accoutrements
,
hoping
to
see
the
Count
that
night
:
But
they
only
found
a
pitiful
,
poor
,
ragged
Village
;
where
enquiring
for
the
Lord
Ambassador's
house
,
the
honest
Country
people
told
them
,
surely
they
were
mistaken
,
they
knew
of
no
house
,
nor
Harbinger
,
nor
what
they
meant
;
being
as
much
amazed
at
the
strange
questions
of
the
English
,
as
they
had
cause
to
be
at
their
strange
Entertainment
.
The
English
romed
up
and
down
the
Town
,
and
could
discover
no
house
fit
for
the
Ambassador
to
go
into
,
so
that
he
was
forced
to
sit
in
the
Coach
,
and
sent
Walsingham
Greisley
in
all
haste
to
Lerma
,
to
know
how
he
should
be
disposed
of
:
Greisley
returned
,
and
told
the
Ambassador
,
They
were
all
so
busie
in
seeing
a
Play
,
that
he
could
not
come
to
speak
with
any
man
that
understood
any
thing
relating
to
his
Lordship
.
Which
so
distracted
him
,
that
he
began
to
doubt
whether
Villa
Manza
were
the
place
,
and
it
begot
a
new
Scrutiny
,
but
the
Scruple
was
quickly
removed
,
by
finding
Villa
Manza
in
the
Letter
,
in
very
legible
characters
.
And
now
he
could
no
longer
dissemble
like
an
Ambassador
,
but
supplying
with
impatience
what
he
wanted
in
Authority
,
commanded
the
Coachmen
in
a
very
hasty
manner
to
drive
back
to
Burgos
,
which
they
very
punctually
refused
;
whereupon
his
Lordship
leapt
out
of
the
Coach
,
and
in
a
great
Choller
mounted
on
Horseback
,
crying
to
his
Company
,
Away
.
The
Coachmen
seeing
him
resolute
,
and
fearing
to
lose
their
Reward
,
told
his
Lordship
,
They
would
venture
a
Chiding
to
do
him
service
,
which
dismounted
him
again
,
and
he
entered
the
Coach
;
but
before
the
wheels
turned
about
,
his
mind
changed
,
and
by
some
little
whispering
advice
of
Cottington's
he
now
determined
to
tarry
there
all
night
:
So
that
after
sitting
still
four
hours
in
a
Coach
,
he
made
a
worse
choice
,
entring
into
a
poor
Cottage
,
where
bare
walls
,
and
want
of
such
sitting
furniture
as
helps
Nature's
weariness
,
might
tell
his
Lordship
that
the
Commons
of
England
stand
on
a
better
foundation
than
wooden
shoes
.
Yet
the
Owner
of
this
house
welcomed
his
Lordship
with
as
much
gravity
as
if
it
had
been
a
well
provided
Castle
;
so
that
there
was
little
pleasure
to
be
taken
to
hear
one
so
over-furnished
with
words
,
that
had
such
empty
rooms
.
Francis
Cottington
Lord
Cottington
of
Hannorth
Mr
of
the
Court
of
Wards
Chancellour
of
the
Exchequer
The
next
morning
Cottington
went
to
Court
betimes
,
where
he
spake
with
the
Duke
of
Lerma
,
representing
to
him
the
disorder
that
had
been
at
Villa
manza
,
whereat
the
Duke
seemed
highly
offended
with
the
Officers
;
and
as
he
was
in
his
heat
,
in
comes
the
Harbinger
,
who
being
questioned
for
this
miscarriage
,
told
the
Duke
(
before
Cottington's
face
)
that
the
Ambassador
expected
two
or
three
Grandees
should
be
sent
to
receive
him
,
which
failing
in
,
he
grew
so
cholerick
,
that
when
he
came
to
do
his
service
,
he
threatned
to
throw
him
out
at
the
Window
.
The
Duke
perhaps
glad
of
the
occasion
,
gave
(
by
way
of
Diversion
)
good
ear
to
the
fellow's
words
,
and
putting
on
the
severest
Countenance
,
told
Cottington
,
He
did
not
think
that
so
great
a
Councellor
as
Don
Iuan
,
would
have
so
miscarried
with
passion
,
as
to
menace
,
and
affront
the
King's
Officer
in
that
manner
.
So
that
Cottington's
business
was
quite
perverted
:
for
whereas
he
came
to
complain
of
the
wrongs
his
Lordship
had
received
,
he
was
now
driven
to
excuse
the
Error
he
had
committed
.
So
that
the
Duke
of
Lerma
left
him
in
his
old
House
a
day
or
two
,
to
consider
well
of
it
,
and
then
the
Conde
de
Salazar
,
one
of
the
King
's
Major
Domos
,
was
sent
to
accompany
him
to
the
Court
.
These
were
the
Glories
of
the
Spanish
entertainments
,
the
Honour
they
gave
the
English
,
and
the
ground
work
of
that
Union
betwixt
the
Nations
;
whereon
they
built
up
some
great
formalities
,
which
(
like
Royal
shadows
)
vanished
in
the
end
and
came
to
nothing
.
As
the
Lord
Digby
is
sent
into
Spain
,
to
smooth
the
way
over
the
Pyrene
,
so
Gage
is
sent
to
Rome
to
make
the
Alpes
accessible
;
for
the
Dispensation
must
be
had
from
thence
for
the
Marriage
.
That
Man
of
sin
is
the
Primum
mobile
,
he
turns
about
all
inferiour
Orbs
at
his
pleasure
,
usurping
a
Terrene
Deity
,
and
holds
it
by
the
chains
of
conscience
,
even
now
,
when
the
light
of
Learning
and
Knowledge
,
with
a
marvelous
influence
shines
over
the
Christian
World
.
At
home
the
Prisons
are
set
open
,
Priests
and
Iesuits
walk
about
at
noon
day
to
deceive
.
And
Gondemar
vaunts
of
four
thousand
Recusants
that
his
intercession
had
released
:
either
to
make
his
service
the
more
acceptable
to
his
Master
,
or
to
let
him
see
how
willing
Our
King
is
to
do
any
thing
to
advance
that
Match
that
they
never
intend
.
Who
is
not
so
nice
,
but
that
he
can
stay
for
a
Dispensation
from
Rome
,
to
expedite
which
,
he
writes
to
some
of
the
activest
Cardinals
there
,
and
receives

them

And
that

,
and
in

I
am
to
give
you
to
understand
(
from

Majesty

how
his
Majestie
's
Royal
pleasure
is
,
that
upon
Receipt
of
these
Writs
,
you
shall
make
no
niceness
,

difficulty
to
extend
that
his
Princely
favour

all
such
Papists
as
you
shall
find
prisoners

I

Your

friend
,
JO.
LINCOLN
.
Westminster
Coll.
2
Aug.
1622.
This
Bishop
succeeded
the
Lord
Verulam
,
His
Preferment
,
Character
,
and
part
of
his
Story
.
not
as
Chancellor
,
but
Keeper
of
the
great
Seal
,
he
having
been
by
Buckingham's
means
made
Dean
of
Westminster
,
and
Bishop
of
Lincoln
,
upon
Neils
remove
to
Durham
,
and
for
a
long
time
had
very
gracious
acceptance
with
the
Countess
of
Buckingham
,
who
was
a
great
means
to
smooth
his
passage
to
all
these
places
,
and
the
Marquess
her
Son
was
the
rather
induced
to
it
,
because
he
was
his
creature
,
and
could
mould
him
(
as
he
thought
)
to
serve
his
own
turn
;
though
when
he
had
sifted
and
tried
him
,
he
found
some
Pharisaical
leaven
in
him
,
and
afterwards
in
the
next
King's
Reign
threw
him
by
.
For
though
he
were
composed
of
many
grains
of
good
Learning
,
yet
the
Height
of
his
Spirit
(
I
will
not
say
Pride
)
made
him
odious
even
to
those
that
raised
him
;
happily
because
they
could
not
attain
to
those
Ends
by
him
,
that
they
required
of
him
:
For
great
and
good
Officers
ought
to
be
just
to
their
own
principles
,
and
not
deviate
from
them
for
any
wordly
Respects
.
William
Arch-B
:
of
Canterbury
Primate
of
all
England
etc.
But
that
which
heightned
him
most
in
the
Opinion
of
those
that
knew
him
best
,
was
his
bountiful
Mind
to
Men
in
Want
,
being
a
great
Patron
to
support
,
where
there
was
Merit
that
wanted
supply
.
Among
the
rest
Monsieur
de
Molin
,
a
very
famous
Minister
of
France
,
(
in
the
persecution
there
)
driven
into
England
for
Refuge
.
The
Bishop
hearing
of
him
,
spoke
to
Doctor
Hacket
his
Chaplain
to
make
him
a
Visit
from
him
.
And
because
(
saith
he
)
I
think
the
Man
may
be
in
Want
,
in
a
strange
Country
,
carry
him
some
Money
,
not
naming
the
Sum
,
because
he
would
sound
the
depths
of
his
Chaplain's
mind
.
Doctor
Hacket
finding
the
Bishop
nominate
no
proportion
,
told
him
he
could
not
give
him
less
than
twenty
pound
.
I
did
demur
upon
the
Sum
(
said
the
Bishop
)
to
try
you
.
Is
twenty
pound
a
fit
gift
for
me
to
give
a
man
of
his
parts
and
deserts
?
Take
a
hundred
pounds
,
and
present
it
from
me
,
and
tell
him
he
shall
not
want
,
and
I
will
come
shortly
and
visit
him
my self
.
Which
he
after
performed
,
and
made
good
his
Promise
in
supplying
him
during
his
abode
in
England
.
But
these
great
Actions
were
not
publickly
visible
;
those
were
more
apparent
that
were
looked
on
with
an
Envious
,
rather
than
an
Emulous
Eye
.
For
the
close
and
intimate
Correspondence
,
that
was
betwixt
this
Bishop
and
the
old
Countess
,
set
many
scurrilous
tongues
,
and
Pens
a
work
,
though
he
was
(
as
I
have
been
assured
)
Eunuchus
ad
Utero
,
which
shews
that
nothing
can
prevent
Malice
,
but
such
an
innocence
as
it
cannot
lay
hold
on
.
For
it
hath
ever
been
accounted
a
crime
,
not
to
endeavour
to
prevent
the
voice
of
Calumny
.
His
breach
with
Land
,
Arch-Bishop
of
Canterbury
,
and
the
disgraces
put
upon
him
by
the
Court
,
will
not
fall
in
here
,
nor
his
closing
again
,
and
Strugling
when
he
saw
the
Axe
laid
to
the
Root
of
Episcopacy
.
But
by
this
man's
Actions
(
as
in
a
Mirror
)
may
be
seen
that
a
great
Estate
,
which
(
besides
his
bounty
)
his
places
procured
him
,
is
a
liquorish
Temptation
,
to
make
a
man
Proteus-like
vary
from
one
shape
to
another
,
and
to
shape
no
direct
course
,
but
to
go
still
as
the
wind
blows
.
Not
long
before
this
,
that
Reverend
Prelate
,
George
Arch-Bishop
of
Canterbury
,
a
man
of
a
holy
and
unblamable
life
(
medling
with
edged
Tools
that
he
used
not
to
handle
in
his
Study
)
by
a
sad
accident
killed
a
keeper
with
a
forked
arrow
as
he
was
shooting
at
a
Dear
.
This
was
a
great
perplexity
to
the
good
man
,
and
a
heavy
Knell
to
his
Aged
Spirit
,
which
he
petitioned
the
King
might
ring
a
Requiem
to
his
retired
thoughts
,
Archbishop
Abbat
kills
a
Keeper
.
at
Guildford
,
his
place
of
Birth
,
where
he
had
built
a
very
Munificent
Alms-house
,
for
poor
people
,
and
where
he
went
to
bring
his
Spirit
under
,
to
make
it
more
blessed
than
the
Glories
of
the
World
can
contribute
to
it
.
There
were
very
many
willing
to
have
him
retire
to
his
rest
,
that
gaped
after
his
Dignity
more
than
desert
,
and
though
Doctor
Laud
was
but
newly
initiated
into
his
Bishoprick
of
St.
David's
(
by
other
hands
,
because
those
of
the
Arch-Bishop
were
tinctured
with
blood
,
as
he
saith
himself
)
yet
his
enmity
was
not
small
against
him
,
for
being
a
means
to
let
the
King
know
;
he
was
reputed
a
Papist
in
Oxford
,
and
a
dangerous
turbulent
Spirit
.
But
the
King
granted
out
a
Commission
to
enquire
whether
casual
Homicide
did
make
the
Arch-Bishop
irregular
?
And
in
the
Disquisition
of
it
,
he
found
many
friends
that
restored
him
from
his
Alms-house
to
his
Palace
.
But
this
he
did
,
and
would
have
done
in
either
condition
.
The
widow
of
the
man
that
fell
by
him
was
raised
by
him
,
and
she
and
her
children
(
as
may
be
said
)
built
a
commodious
being
upon
his
grave
.
Arminianisin
flourished
.
The
King's
mercy
and
indulgence
extending
towards
the
Papists
,
taught
many
men
to
come
as
near
Popery
as
they
could
stretch
,
finding
it
the
next
way
to
preferment
,
so
that
Arminius's
Tenets
flew
up
and
down
from
Pulpit
to
Pulpit
,
that
indeed
preaching
was
nothing
but
declamation
,
little
tending
to
Edification
(
such
Orthodox
Ministers
,
as
strove
to
refute
these
erronious
Opinions
being
looked
on
as
Puritans
,
and
Antimonarchical
)
which
continual
rubbing
one
against
another
,
begot
so
much
heat
,
as
might
have
turned
into
a
flame
not
easie
to
be
quenched
.
And
the
King
had
daily
information
how
the
Pulpits
rung
against
the
Spanish
match
.
So
that
to
settle
these
extravagancies
,
he
directs
his
Letters
to
the
Arch-Bishop
of
Canterbury
in
this
manner
for
Regulating
of
the
Ministery
.

trusty

we
greet
you
well

For
as
much
as
the
abuses
and
extravagancies
of

in

with
the

.
Not
only
for
a
help
for
the
Non-preaching
,
but
withal
for
a
Pattern
and
Boundary
(
as
it
were
)
for
the
preaching
Ministers
.
And
for
their
further
instructions
for
the
performance
hereof
,
that
they
forthwith
,
read
over
and
peruse
diligently
the
said
Book
of
Articles
,
and
the
two
books
of
Homilies
.
2.
That
no
Parson
,
Vicar
,
Curate
,
or
Lecturer
,
shall
preach
any
Sermon
or
Collation
hereafter
upon
Sundays
,
and
Holy-days
in
the
afternoon
,
in
any
Cathedral
,
or
parish
Church
,
throughout
the
Kingdom
,
but
upon
some
part
of
the
Catechism
,
or
some
Text
taken
out
of
the
Creed
,
ten
Commandments
,
or
the
Lords
Prayer
(
Funeral
Sermons
only
excepted
)
and
that
those
Preachers
be
most
encouraged
,
and
approved
of
,
who
spend
the
afternoons
exercise
,
in
the
examination
of
children
in
their
Catechism
,
which
is
the
most
ancient
,
and
Laudable
custom
of
teaching
in
the
Church
of
England
.
3.
That
no
Preacher
of
what
Title
soever
under
the
Degree
of
a
Bishop
,
or
Dean
,
at
the
least
,
do
from
Henceforth
presume
to
preach
in
any
Popular
Auditory
the
deep
points
of
Predestination
,
Election
,
Reprobation
,
or
of
the
universality
,
efficacy
,
resistibility
,
or
irresistibility
of
God's
Grace
,
but
leave
those
Themes
rather
to
be
handled
by
the
learned
Men
,
and
that
moderately
and
Modestly
,
by
way
of
use
and
application
,
rather
than
by
way
of
Positive
,
Doctrines
,
being
fitter
for
the
Schools
then
for
simple
Auditories
.
4.
That
no
Preacher
of
what
Title
or
Denomination
soever
,
from
henceforth
shall
presume
in
any
Auditory
within
this
Kingdom
to
declare
,
limit
,
or
bound
out
,
by
way
of
Positive
Doctrine
in
any
Lecture
,
or
Sermon
,
the
Power
,
Prerogative
,
and
Jurisdiction
,
Authority
,
or
Duty
of
Soveraign
Princes
,
or
otherwise
meddle
with
Matters
of
State
,
and
the
differences
between
Princes
,
and
the
People
,
then
as
they
are
instructed
,
and
Precedented
in
the
Homilies
of
Obedience
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Homilies
,
and
Articles
of
Religion
,
set
forth
(
as
before
is
mentioned
)
by
publick
Authority
,
but
rather
confine
themselves
wholly
,
to
those
two
heads
of
Faith
,
and
Good
life
,
which
are
all
the
subject
of
the
ancient
Sermons
,
and
Homilies
.
5.
That
no
Preacher
of
what
Title
or
Denomination
soever
,
shall
presume
causelesly
;
or
(
without
invitation
from
the
Text
)
fall
in
t
bitter
invectives
,
and
undecent
railing
speeches
against
the
Persons
of
either
Papists
,
or
Puritans
,
but
modestly
,
and
gravely
,
when
they
are
occasioned
thereunto
,
by
the
Text
of
Scripture
,
free
both
the
Doctrine
,
and
the
Discipline
of
the
Church
of
England
,
from
the
aspersions
of
either
adversary
;
especially
where
the
Auditory
is
Suspected
to
be
tainted
with
the
One
,
or
the
other
infection
.
6.
Lastly
,
that
the
Arch-Bishops
,
and
Bishops
of
the
Kingdom
(
whom
his
Majesty
hath
good
cause
to
blame
for
this
former
remissness
)
be
more
wary
,
and
choice
in
their
licensing
of
Preachers
,
and
revoke
all
Grants
made
to
any
Chancellor
,
Official
,
or
Commissary
,
to
pass
Licences
in
this
kind
.
And
that
all
the
Lecturers
throughout
the
Kingdom
of
England
(
a
new
Body
severed
from
the
ancient
Clergy
,
as
being
neither
Parsons
,
Vicars
,
nor
Curates
)
be
licensed
henceforward
in
the
Court
of
Faculties
,
but
only
,
from
a
Recommendation
of
the
Party
,
from
the
Bishop
of
the
Diocess
under
his
hand
and
seal
,
with
a
Fiat
from
the
Lord
Arch-Bishop
of
Canterbury
,
a
Confirmation
under
the
great
Seal
of
England
.
And
that
such
as
do
transgress
any
one
of
these
Directions
,
be
suspended
by
the
Bishop
of
the
Diocess
,
or
in
his
default
by
the
Arch-Bishop
of
the
Province
,
ab
officio
&
beneficio
,
for
a
Year
and
a
Day
,
until
his
Majesty
by
the
advice
of
the
next
Convocation
,
shall
prescribe
some
further
punishment
.
The
Directions
the
Archbishop
recommended
to
his
several
Diocesans
,
that
they
might
be
put
in
execution
with
caution
.
And
then
may
be
observed
that
the
King's
affections
tended
to
the
peaceable
comportment
of
his
people
,
that
both
Papist
and
Puritan
might
have
a
quiet
being
;
Observations
upon
the
Directions
.
which
preponderation
of
His
puts
them
in
Aequi-librio
,
nay
,
the
Papist
was
in
the
prime
Scale
.
But
this
new
thing
called
a
Lecturer
,
he
could
by
no
means
endure
,
unless
he
past
through
all
the
Briers
of
his
several
Courts
to
the
Broad
Seal
,
which
was
a
kind
of
pungent
Ordeal
Tryal
,
to
which
he
must
put
his
Teste
me
ipso
,
and
then
it
was
Orthodox
;
so
that
though
Lecturers
were
not
absolutely
forbidden
,
yet
the
charge
and
trouble
to
come
to
it
,
made
the
way
inaccessible
.
Preachers
by
an
Order
of
Star-chamber
in
Heaven
were
first
licensed
,
with
an
Ite
,
praedicate
,
before
Henry
the
Eighth's
time
;
and
certainly
they
have
a
great
Seal
from
thence
for
what
they
do
:
Therefore
it
behoves
them
to
take
heed
what
they
say
,
left
that
Spirit
they
receive
Directions
from
bind
them
not
up
.
But
this
Animosity
of
the
King
's
against
Puritans
,
Papists
the
fomenters
.
was
thought
to
be
fomented
by
the
Papists
,
whose
Agent
Bishop
Laud
was
suspected
to
be
,
though
in
Religion
he
had
a
Motley
form
by
himself
,
and
would
never
(
as
a
Priest
told
me
plainly
in
Flanders
)
bring
his
neck
under
the
obedience
of
the
Roman
Yoak
,
though
he
might
stickle
for
the
grandure
of
the
Clergy
.
And
now
he
began
to
be
Buckingham's
Confessor
(
as
he
expresseth
in
his
own
Notes
)
and
wore
the
Court
Livery
,
though
the
King
had
a
sufficient
character
of
him
,
and
was
pleased
with
Asseveration
to
protest
his
incentive
Spirit
should
be
kept
under
,
that
the
flame
should
not
break
out
by
any
Preferment
from
him
.
But
that
was
now
forgotten
,
and
he
crept
so
into
favour
,
that
he
was
thought
to
be
the
Bellows
that
blew
these
Fires
.
For
the
Papists
used
all
the
Artifices
they
could
to
make
a
breach
between
the
King
and
his
People
,
that
they
might
enter
at
the
same
for
their
own
Ends
:
which
to
accomplish
,
they
slily
close
with
the
chief
ministers
of
State
,
to
put
the
King
upon
all
his
Projects
and
Monopolies
,
displeasing
to
the
people
,
that
they
might
the
more
Alienate
their
Affections
from
him
:
Sowing
their
seeds
of
Division
also
betwixt
Puritan
and
Protestant
;
so
that
(
like
the
second
Commandment
)
they
quite
exclude
the
Protestant
;
For
all
those
were
Puritans
with
this
high-grown-Arminian-popish
party
,
that
held
in
judgment
the
Doctrine
of
the
Reformed
Churches
,
or
in
practice
live
according
to
the
Doctrine
publickly
taught
in
the
Church
of
England
.
And
they
attribute
the
name
of
Protestant
,
1.
To
such
Papists
as
either
out
of
policy
,
or
by
popish
indulgence
,
hold
outward
Communion
with
the
Church
of
England
.
2.
To
such
Protestants
,
as
were
either
tainted
with
,
or
inclinable
to
their
opinions
.
3.
To
indifferent
Men
,
who
imbrace
always
that
Religion
that
shall
be
commanded
by
Authority
.
Or
,
4.
To
such
Neutrals
as
care
for
no
Religion
,
but
such
as
stands
with
their
own
liking
:
so
that
they
allow
the
Church
of
England
the
Refuse
both
of
their
Religion
,
and
Ours
.
Then
they
strive
to
make
a
Division
of
Regians
and
Republicans
;
Regians
and
Republicans
.
The
Regians
are
the
great
Dependents
upon
the
Crown
,
both
in
Church
and
State
,
who
swell
up
the
Prerogative
,
preaching
and
distilling
into
the
King
,
the
Almightiness
of
his
power
.
That
all
that
the
People
hath
is
the
King
's
,
and
that
it
is
by
his
mercy
they
have
a
bare
empty
Being
.
And
this
hoisting
up
of
the
King
they
knew
would
stir
up
the
Republicans
to
oppose
him
in
his
Designs
,
by
which
they
pinch
(
as
the
King
thinks
)
his
Prerogative
;
feeding
a
strife
,
betwixt
Law
and
Prerogative
,
whereby
they
escape
the
Dint
of
both
,
and
hope
the
fire
they
kindle
will
break
out
at
last
to
consume
their
Adversaries
.
That
these
things
were
acted
and
fomented
by
Papists
,
was
very
probable
,
for
they
were
great
Sticklers
about
the
Court
and
Council-Table
.
But
it
was
too
apparent
that
some
of
the
Clergy
(
to
make
their
way
the
smoother
to
their
wished
end
)
began
so
to
adore
the
King
,
that
he
could
not
be
named
but
more
reverence
was
done
to
it
than
to
the
Name
of
God
▪
And
the
Iudges
in
their
itinerant
Circuits
(
the
more
to
enslave
the
people
to
Obedience
)
being
to
speak
of
the
King
,
would
give
him
such
Sacred
and
Oraculous
Titles
,
as
if
their
advancement
to
higher
places
,
must
necessarily
be
laid
upon
the
foundation
of
the
peoples
debasement
.
On
the
other
side
:
The
well
affected
to
Religion
(
that
knew
no
other
inclination
than
the
Dictates
of
their
own
Reason
,
experiences
of
former
times
,
and
the
constant
practices
of
the
Romanists
for
propagating
their
own
designs
)
did
by
their
writings
and
discourses
,
strive
to
warm
the
King
's
cold
temper
,
and
put
fresh
spirits
into
his
chilled
veins
;
shewing
the
Tyranny
of
the
incroaching
Monarchy
of
the
House
of
Austria
(
who
was
Rome's
great
Factor
)
and
how
just
and
secure
the
opposing
of
such
a
growing
power
will
be
;
That
no
Sword
is
so
sharp
,
nor
Arm
's
so
strong
,
as
those
that
are
cemented
with
true
Religion
.
The
security
of
Conscience
,
grounded
upon
the
Word
of
Truth
,
being
not
only
a
Bulwark
to
defend
,
but
the
best
Engin
to
oppose
Idolatry
and
Ambition
.
Thus
stood
the
Kingdom
divided
in
it self
.
But
as
the
King
strove
(
after
this
Rupture
betwixt
him
and
the
Parliament
)
to
settle
things
at
home
,
The
King
active
in
the
Treaty
.
and
keep
his
people
in
obedience
,
so
he
was
as
active
abroad
to
keep
up
his
own
Reputation
:
For
he
made
a
full
account
to
salve
up
all
these
miscarriages
,
by
the
intended
Match
with
Spain
,
that
his
people
might
see
he
could
discern
further
into
the
intrinsical
matters
of
State
than
they
,
and
so
make
the
Error
theirs
.
Therefore
he
plied
it
by
his
Ambassadors
and
Agents
,
and
all
indulgences
to
Recusants
were
admitted
to
sweeten
their
Addresses
.
The
Lord
Vaux
,
a
Papist
,
had
freedom
to
transport
four
thousand
English
,
to
reinforce
the
King
of
Spain's
Armies
,
both
against
our
King's
Confederates
of
Holland
(
under
whose
protection
his
banished
Children
had
refuge
)
and
against
their
Country
it self
the
Palatinate
,
which
the
King
so
much
endeavoured
to
preserve
.
The
Articles
of
Marriage
had
taken
up
much
time
in
debate
,
The
Articles
of
marriage
long
a
setling
.
between
the
Commissioners
of
the
two
Kings
,
before
they
could
be
brought
to
any
form
,
and
the
principal
Articles
(
that
concerned
Religion
)
had
many
various
shapes
put
upon
them
,
till
they
were
drest
to
their
minds
:
And
when
they
were
fitted
and
fashioned
by
them
,
the
Pope
stript
them
naked
,
and
put
upon
them
what
Garment
they
pleased
;
He
hath
his
Index
expurgatorius
in
every
thing
.
And
to
dead
our
King's
hopes
,
the
Pope
urges
,
Quod
Ecclesiastici
nullis
legibus
subjaceant
,
nisi
sourum
superiorum
Ecclesiasticorum
,
That
the
Ecclesiasticks
should
be
subject
to
no
Laws
,
but
what
they
brought
along
with
them
,
which
gave
liberty
to
do
what
they
pleased
,
and
to
be
punished
for
their
ill
doing
how
they
pleased
.
Quo
semel
est
imbuta
Recens
servabit
odorem
Testa
diu
:
—
That
the
children
of
the
Infanta
might
be
brought
up
in
the
Popish
Religion
,
Usque
ad
Annos
nubiles
,
till
it
be
well
rooted
in
them
.
And
that
she
might
have
a
publick
Church
in
the
City
for
all
comers
,
besides
her
Chappel
in
the
Court
,
which
extended
to
little
less
than
an
open
Toleration
.
Some
other
Rubs
the
Pope
threw
in
the
way
,
which
the
King
stumbled
at
,
not
being
in
the
Articles
treated
on
betwixt
him
and
the
King
of
Spain
,
which
He
insists
on
to
that
King
,
disclaims
any
Treaty
with
the
Pope
,
though
his
Agent
Gage
made
daily
addresses
to
him
,
by
Cardinal
Bandino
with
whom
Our
King
held
correspondence
.
And
He
requires
the
Lord
Digby
in
Spain
to
press
that
King
to
a
final
Resolution
,
that
he
might
provide
some
other
Match
for
his
Son
,
if
this
should
not
succeed
:
For
(
saith
He
)
We
have
in
a
manner
already
done
that
which
is
desired
,
as
all
the
Roman
Catholicks
have
found
;
which
if
the
Pope
had
known
,
it
is
to
be
presumed
,
he
would
not
so
much
have
insisted
upon
these
points
.
And
the
sending
,
and
resending
,
betwixt
Spain
and
Rome
,
and
Rome
and
Spain
spends
time
,
and
may
serve
for
a
colour
to
draw
the
Treaty
in
infinitum
.
But
yet
willing
he
was
to
have
some
Anchor-hold
for
his
hopes
;
for
in
the
same
Letter
,
he
saith
,
Nevertheless
if
you
find
it
a
thing
impossible
for
them
to
resolve
without
a
reply
to
Rome
,
Our
King's
Resolution
.
and
that
they
do
earnestly
desire
it
;
We
are
contented
that
you
shall
yield
them
two
months
time
,
after
your
Audience
,
and
longer
we
cannot
expect
.
These
Resolutions
were
sent
Post
into
Spain
,
inclosed
in
this
following
Letter
,
which
is
very
necessary
to
be
inserted
here
,
though
taken
from
Mr.
Prin's
Collection
,
who
had
this
and
others
among
the
Lord
Cottington's
Papers
(
a
great
Agent
afterwards
in
the
Spanish
Affairs
)
and
are
the
bitter
Kernel
,
preserved
by
Cottington
,
when
the
Shell
of
the
Treaty
was
broken
.
RIght
Trusty
,
Sent
to
Digby
in
Spain
.
&c.
Your
dispatch
of
the
ninth
of
August
gave
Us
so
much
Contentment
,
and
so
great
Hopes
of
Satisfaction
,
in
all
those
Business
,
which
you
have
there
to
Treat
with
that
King
,
as
we
could
not
expect
any
further
Difficulties
;
Notwithstanding
by
that
which
hath
come
to
Our
hands
immediately
after
,
as
well
by
George
Gage
from
Rome
,
as
by
our
Ambassador
,
Sir
Richard
Weston
at
Bruxels
,
and
Our
Ministers
in
the
Palatinate
;
We
find
that
neither
the
Dispensation
is
granted
for
the
Match
,
nor
the
Treaty
of
Cessation
so
near
a
conclusion
,
as
We
conceived
it
would
have
been
,
now
that
the
Auxiliaries
and
all
other
Obstacles
are
removed
.
But
on
the
contrary
side
,
that
new
delays
and
excuses
are
invented
,
Our
Garisons
in
the
Palatinate
in
the
mean
time
blocked
up
,
Heidelburg
it self
Actually
besieged
.
Which
proceeding
,
though
Our
Ambassador
hath
expostulated
with
the
Infanta
and
the
Commissioners
,
as
injurious
to
Us
,
and
ill
beseeming
their
Professions
hitherto
,
yet
is
there
not
that
readiness
shewed
to
give
Us
such
contentment
therein
as
We
might
justly
expect
,
but
Answers
still
protracted
,
and
put
off
,
for
advantage
;
whilst
Our
Forces
there
remain
in
great
Distress
,
and
the
Town
and
Castle
of
Heidelburg
likely
in
a
few
Daies
to
be
lost
,
for
it
cannot
hold
out
long
,
as
We
are
informed
.
This
dealing
seems
the
more
strange
unto
Us
,
for
that
the
late
Dispatch
of
the
King
of
Spain
was
(
before
the
news
of
the
Siege
,
and
that
Our
Ambassador
had
propounded
any
thing
concerning
it
)
come
unto
the
Infanta
.
Spanish
jugling
.
But
because
you
shall
be
particularly
informed
of
the
whole
carriage
of
the
business
.
We
have
given
order
that
copies
shall
be
sent
you
of
all
the
Dispatch
,
and
then
you
shall
see
how
these
proceedings
agree
with
the
Hopes
and
Promises
which
are
given
Us
from
thence
.
Hereupon
therefore
Our
pleasure
is
,
That
you
shall
immediately
and
with
as
much
speed
as
you
may
,
crave
Audience
of
that
King
,
and
represent
unto
him
the
merit
which
We
may
justly
challenge
unto
Our self
,
for
Our
sincere
proceedings
with
the
Emperor
,
and
Him
,
in
all
the
course
of
this
business
,
notwithstanding
the
many
invitations
and
temptations
,
which
We
have
had
,
to
engage
Our self
on
Our
Son-in-law's
part
.
That
We
have
had
both
from
the
Emperor
and
him
hopes
given
Us
from
time
to
time
,
of
extraordinary
Respect
,
howsoever
Our
Son-in-law
had
deserved
▪
which
We
have
attended
,
and
expected
even
to
the
very
last
with
much
Patience
,
and
in
despight
(
as
it
were
)
of
all
the
opposition
that
hath
All

;
This
but
a
shadow
,
here
before

That

been
made
to
shake
our
Resolution
in
that
behalf
.
;
If
now
when
all
impediments
are
removed
,
and
that
the
way
is
so
prepared
,
as
that
the
Emperor
may
give
an
end
unto
the
War
,
and
make
some
present
demonstration
of
his
Respects
towards
us
,
in
leaving
Us
the
Honour
of
holding
those
poor
places
,
which
yet
remain
quietly
,
and
peaceably
,
until
the
general
accommodation
,
the
same
shall
nevertheless
be
violently
taken
from
Us
,
what
can
We
look
for
when
the
whole
shall
be
in
his
hands
and
possession
?
who
amusing
Us
with
a
Treaty
of
Cessation
,
and
protracting
it
industriously
(
as
We
have
reason
to
believe
)
doth
in
the
mean
time
seize
himself
of
the
whole
Country
;
which
being
done
,
Our
Ambassador
shall
return
with
Scorn
,
and
We
remain
with
Dishonour
.
I
shall
not
need
to
furnish
you
with
Arguments
for
the
unfolding
and
laying
open
this
unfriendly
Dealing
more
plainly
unto
them
;
your
own
Reason
and
observation
will
find
enough
out
of
the
Dispatches
,
whereof
Copies
are
sent
unto
you
;
as
namely
,
the
withdrawing
of
the
Spanish
forces
,
and
leaving
the
business
wholly
in
the
hands
of
the
Emperor
and
the
Duke
of
Bavaria
;
The
Style
of
the
Infanta
in
answering
Our
Ambassador
with
Recriminations
,
Austrian
jugling
.
which
was
not
her
manner
heretofore
;
The
sleight
and
frivolous
answer
given
by
the
Marquess
of
Bedmar
unto
Our
Ambassador
,
when
he
acquainted
him
with
the
Siege
of
Heidelburg
:
The
quarrellous
occasion
taken
by
the
Emperor
for
calling
the
Diet
at
Ratisbone
,
contrary
to
his
own
promise
,
which
in
his
dispatch
to
Us
he
confesseth
to
have
broken
,
as
you
will
see
by
the
Copy
.
All
which
,
and
many
more
,
which
your
own
judgment
(
in
the
perusal
of
the
Dispatches
)
will
suggest
unto
you
do
minister
unto
Us
cause
sufficient
of
jealousie
on
the
Emperor's
part
,
as
you
shall
plainly
tell
that
King
,
although
We
will
not
do
him
that
wrong
as
to
mistrust
,
that
He
gives
the
least
consent
to
it
.
In
this
confidence
,
with
much
earnestness
,
We
shall
still
solicit
him
,
that
for
the
affection
he
bears
us
,
and
the
desire
which
We
suppose
he
hath
,
that
there
may
continue
for
ever
a
perfect
Amity
betwixt
Us
,
and
the
whole
House
of
Austria
,
he
will
not
cease
to
do
all
good
Offices
herein
;
letting
him
know
directly
,
that
in
these
terms
We
cannot
stand
with
the
Emperor
,
but
that
if
Heidelburg
be
won
,
or
the
Siege
continue
,
or
the
Cessation
be
long
unnecessarily
delayed
,
We
must
recall
Our
Ambassador
from
Bruxels
,
and
treat
no
more
,
as
We
have
already
given
order
,
hoping
that
whatsoever
unkindness
We
shall
conceive
against
the
Emperor
upon
these
occasions
,
it
shall
not
be
interpreted
to
reflect
in
any
sort
upon
the
entire
affection
that
is
at
this
present
,
and
as
We
hope
shall
always
continue
betwixt
Us
and
the
Crown
of
Spain
.
And
therefore
as
we
have
heretofore
sundry
times
promised
,
in
testimony
of
the
sincerity
of
Our
proceedings
,
and
of
Our
great
Desire
to
preserve
the
Amity
inviolable
,
between
Us
,
and
the
whole
House
of
Austria
;
That
in
case
Our
Son-in-law
would
not
be
governed
by
Us
,
that
then
we
would
not
only
forsake
him
,
but
take
part
,
and
joyn
Our
forces
with
the
Emperor
against
him
so
you
may
fairly
represent
unto
that
King
,
An.
Reg.
20.
that
in
like
manner
,
we
have
Reason
to
expect
the
same
Measure
from
him
,
that
(
upon
the
Emperor's
averseness
to
a
Cessation
,
An.
Christi
.
1622.
and
Accommodation
)
he
will
likewise
Actually
assist
Us
,
for
the
Recovery
of
the
Palatinate
,
and
Electoral
Dignity
,
unto
Our
Son-in-law
,
as
it
hath
been
often
times
intimated
from
Spain
.
To
conclude
,
We
shall
not
need
to
say
any
more
unto
you
,
touching
this
Point
;
but
to
let
you
see
,
that
Our
meaning
is
to
carry
all
things
fair
with
that
King
▪
and
not
to
give
him
any
cause
of
Distrust
,
or
jealousie
;
if
you
perceive
that
they
intend
to
go
really
and
roundly
on
with
the
Match
.
Wherein
nevertheless
we
must
tell
you
that
we
have
no
great
Cause
to
be
well
pleased
with
the
Diligences
used
on
that
part
,
when
we
observe
that
after
so
long
an
expectance
of
the
Dispensation
,
upon
which
the
whole
business
(
as
they
will
have
it
)
depends
,
there
is
nothing
yet
returned
but
Queries
and
O●jections
,
Yet
because
we
will
not
give
over
Our
Patience
,
a
while
longer
,
until
we
understand
more
certainly
what
the
effect
thereof
is
like
to
be
;
wherein
we
require
you
to
be
very
Wary
,
and
watchful
,
considering
how
Our
Honour
is
therein
ingaged
;
we
have
thought
fit
to
let
you
know
,
how
far
we
are
pleased
to
inlarge
Our self
▪
concerning
those
points
demanded
by
the
Pope
,
and
set
down
by
way
of
Postil
unto
the
Articles
agreed
upon
,
betwixt
Spain
and
Us
as
you
shall
see
by
the
Power
,
which
Gage
brought
Us
from
Rome
,
whereof
we
have
sent
you
a
Copy
,
and
our
Resolutions
thereupon
Signed
with
our
own
hand
,
for
your
warrant
,
and
Instruction
.
And
further
then
that
since
we
cannot
go
,
without
much
prejudice
,
inconvenience
,
and
dishonour
to
our self
,
and
our
Son
,
we
hope
and
expect
the
King
of
Spain
will
bring
it
instantly
to
an
issue
,
without
further
delay
,
which
you
are
to
press
with
all
Diligence
,
and
earnestness
;
that
you
may
presently
know
their
final
Resolution
,
and
what
we
may
expect
thereupon
.
But
if
any
Respit
of
time
be
earnestly
demanded
,
and
that
you
perceive
it
not
possible
for
them
to
resolve
until
an
answer
come
from
Rome
,
we
then
think
it
fit
that
you
give
them
two
Months
time
after
your
Audience
,
that
we
may
understand
that
King
's
final
Resolution
,
before
Christmas
next
at
the
furthest
.
Wansted
.
9.
Sept.
1622.
This
Letter
doth
not
only
discover
the
shuffling
,
The
King
abused
.
and
Fox-like
contrivances
of
the
House
of
Austria
to
Work
,
and
Earth
themselves
in
the
Palatinate
,
but
also
the
scorns
,
and
reproaches
put
upon
Our
King
,
and
(
if
I
may
so
call
them
)
his
Terriers
,
who
(
with
little
Bayings
only
)
let
them
work
,
till
they
had
got
into
their
Fastnesses
,
and
strong
holds
,
and
then
they
may
Bay
at
leisure
,
and
blame
their
lazy
Belief
.
But
notwithstanding
our
King
threatens
in
his
Letter
,
if
Heidelberg
be
lost
,
and
the
Cessation
delayed
,
he
will
Treat
no
more
,
yet
the
Desire
of
the
Match
was
so
radicated
in
his
Heart
,
that
neither
the
loss
of
Heidleberg
,
or
Manheim
that
succeeded
it
,
nor
the
blocking
up
of
Frankendale
(
the
last
strong
hold
of
his
Son-in-laws
Inheritance
)
could
Mortifie
his
Hopes
.
But
as
the
Emperor
besieged
these
Towns
with
his
Armies
,
so
he
beset
the
King
of
Spain
with
his
Treaties
.
And
the
Lord
Digby
though
quickned
by
this
Letter
,
Digby
faulty
.
did
not
lay
open
the
cunning
carriage
of
these
contrivers
(
which
tended
to
root
out
the
reformed
Religion
in
Germany
)
nor
press
home
these
particulars
as
he
was
injoined
but
only
let
the
King
of
Spain
know
,
That
his
late
Father
,
by
the
advice
of
his
Ecclesiasticks
in
Spain
,
had
consented
to
the
Articles
of
Marriage
,
in
matters
of
Religion
,
five
months
since
,
yet
there
were
demurs
upon
those
points
,
notwithstanding
that
the
King
of
Great
Britain
complied
in
all
things
,
then
demanded
particularly
,
what
he
would
do
in
favour
of
the
Catholicks
;
But
now
after
two
years
time
,
the
Pope
of
his
own
Accord
(
without
any
intimation
to
Spain
)
had
sent
directly
for
England
,
propounding
to
the
King
his
Master
,
not
only
many
alterations
in
the
Capitulations
(
before
a
Dispensation
could
be
granted
)
but
intruded
something
new
,
which
the
King
would
by
no
means
yield
unto
:
wherefore
to
expedite
the
Business
(
the
King
having
neglected
all
other
Treaties
of
marriage
for
his
Son
these
six
years
past
,
only
in
respect
of
this
Treaty
)
he
is
commanded
to
declare
plainly
to
the
King
of
Spain
,
how
far
the
King
his
Master
may
condescend
in
matters
of
Religion
,
and
if
that
will
give
content
,
to
proceed
to
a
conclusion
of
the
Marriage
,
without
more
Delays
,
(
seeing
he
hath
yielded
to
much
more
than
was
capitulated
in
the
late
King
of
Spain's
time
)
if
this
will
not
satisfie
,
that
then
without
loss
of
more
time
,
the
King
his
Master
may
dispose
of
his
Son
,
and
the
King
of
Spain
of
the
Infanta
as
they
please
.
These
things
were
ruminated
on
by
the
slow
paced
Spanish
gravity
,
and
fair
,
and
plausible
answers
presented
,
that
like
fruits
of
Dissimulation
gave
but
small
Nourishment
to
hope
,
yet
it
kept
it
alive
,
(
though
in
a
drooping
condition
)
and
it
was
only
sustained
till
they
could
bring
their
ends
about
.
Which
our
King
now
suspecting
(
as
he
had
good
cause
)
from
the
constant
intelligences
given
him
,
of
the
diminution
of
his
own
Forces
in
the
Palatinate
,
and
the
Growing
strength
of
the
Enemy
,
He
dispatches
this
second
Letter
to
the
Baron
Digby
to
let
the
King
of
Spain
know
how
sensible
he
was
of
being
abused
,
and
how
loath
he
was
to
see
it
.
RIght

2.
Letter
to
Digby
.
&c.
There
is
none
better
knoweth
than
your self
,
how
we
have
laboured
,
ever
since
the
beginning
of
these
unfortunate
Troubles
of
the
Empire
(
notwithstanding
all
opposition
to
the
contrary
)
to
merit
well
of
our
good
Brother
,
the
King
of
Spain
,
and
the
whole
House
of
Austria
,
by
a
long
and
lingering
Patience
,
grounded
still
upon
his
friendship
,
and
promises
,
that
Care
should
be
had
of
our
Honour
,
and
of
our
Childrens
Patrimony
,
and
Inheritance
:
We
have
acquainted
you
also
from
time
to
time
,
since
the
beginning
of
the
Treaty
at
Bruxels
,
how
crossly
all
things
have
there
proceeded
,
notwithstanding
all
the
fair
Professions
made
unto
us
,
both
by
the
King
of
Spain
,
and
the
Infanta
,
and
all
his
Ministers
,
and
the
letters
written
by
him
unto
the
Emperor
,
and
them
Effectually
,
at
least
(
as
they
endeavoured
to
make
us
believe
,
)
but
what
fruits
have
we
of
all
these
?
Whil'st
we
are
Treating
,
the
Town
and
Castle
of
Heidelberg
are
taken
by
force
,
our
Garison
put
to
the
Sword
,
Manheim
besieged
,
and
all
the
Hostility
used
that
is
in
the
power
of
an
Enemy
,
as
you
may
see
by
the
Relation
,
which
we
have
commanded
our
Secretary
to
send
you
.
Our
pleasure
therefore
is
,
that
you
immediately
,
as
soon
you
can
get
Audience
,
let
that
King
understand
,
how
sensible
we
are
of
these
Proceedings
of
the
Emperor
towards
us
,
and
withall
,
are
not
a
little
troubled
to
see
,
that
the
Infanta
(
having
an
absolute
Commission
to
conclude
a
Cessation
,
and
suspension
of
Arms
)
should
now
at
last
when
all
Objections
were
answered
,
and
the
former
(
solely
)
pretended
Obstacles
removed
,
not
only
delay
the
conclusion
of
the
Treaty
,
but
refuse
to
lay
her
Command
upon
the
Emperor's
Generals
to
abstain
from
the
Siege
of
our
Garisons
during
the
Treaty
,
upon
a
Pretext
of
want
of
Authority
:
so
as
for
avoiding
of
further
Dishonour
,
we
have
been
forced
to
recall
both
our
Ambassadors
,
as
well
the
Chancellor
of
our
Exchequer
(
who
is
already
returned
to
our
Presence
,
as
also
the
Lord
Chichester
,
whom
we
intended
to
have
sent
unto
the
Emperor
,
to
the
Diet
at
Ratisbone
.
)
Seeing
therefore
that
meerly
out
of
Our
extraordinary
Respect
to
the
King
of
Spain
,
and
the
firm
Confidence
We
ever
put
in
the
Hopes
and
promises
,
which
He
did
give
Us
(
desiring
nothing
more
then
for
his
Cause
principally
to
avoid
all
occasions
that
might
put
Us
in
ill
understanding
with
any
of
the
House
of
Austria
)
We
have
hitherto
proceeded
with
a
stedfast
patience
,
trusting
to
the
Treaties
,
and
neglecting
all
other
means
,
which
probably
might
have
secured
the
Remainder
of
Our
Childrens
inheritance
(
these
Garisons
which
We
maintained
in
the
Palatinate
,
being
rather
for
Honour
sake
,
to
keep
a
footing
until
the
general
accommodation
,
then
that
we
did
rely
so
much
upon
their
strength
,
as
upon
his
friendship
)
and
by
this
Confidence
and
Security
of
Ours
,
are
now
exposed
to
Dishonour
and
Reproach
.
You
shall
tell
that
King
,
Gondemar
's
Master-piece
.
that
seeing
all
those
endeavours
and
good
offices
,
which
he
hath
used
towards
the
Emperor
in
this
business
,
on
the
behalf
of
Our
Son-in-law
(
upon
confidence
whereof
that
security
of
Ours
depended
,
which
he
continually
by
his
Letters
and
Ministers
here
laboured
to
beget
and
confirm
in
Us
)
have
not
sorted
to
any
other
issue
,
than
to
a
plain
abuse
,
both
of
his
trust
,
and
Ours
,
whereby
We
are
both
of
Us
highly
injured
in
Our
Honour
,
though
in
a
different
Degree
;
We
hope
,
and
desire
,
that
out
of
a
true
sence
of
this
Wrong
offered
unto
Us
,
he
will
as
Our
dear
and
loving
Brother
,
faithfully
promise
,
and
undertake
upon
his
Honour
,
(
confirming
the
same
also
under
his
Hand
and
Seal
)
either
that
the
Town
and
Castle
of
Heidelberg
,
shall
within
Threescore
and
ten
dayes
after
your
Audience
,
and
Demand
made
,
be
rendred
into
Our
hands
,
with
all
things
therein
belonging
to
Our
Son
in
law
,
or
Our
Daughter
(
as
near
as
may
be
in
the
State
they
were
,
when
they
were
taken
)
and
the
like
for
Manheim
,
and
Frankendale
,
if
both
or
either
of
them
shall
be
taken
by
the
Enemy
,
while
these
things
are
in
Treaty
:
As
also
that
there
shall
be
within
the
said
Term
of
seventy
daies
a
Cessation
and
Suspension
of
Arms
in
the
Palatinate
for
the
future
,
upon
the
several
Articles
and
Conditions
last
propounded
by
Our
Ambassadour
Sir
Richard
Weston
,
and
that
the
general
Treaty
shall
be
set
afoot
again
,
upon
such
Honourable
Terms
and
Conditions
,
as
We
propounded
unto
the
Emperour
in
a
Letter
written
unto
him
in
November
last
,
and
with
which
the
King
of
Spain
then
(
as
We
understood
)
seemed
satisfied
.
Or
else
in
case
all
these
Particulars
be
not
yielded
unto
,
and
performed
by
the
Emperour
,
as
is
here
propounded
,
but
be
refused
or
delayed
,
beyond
the
time
aforementioned
:
That
then
the
King
of
Spain
do
joyn
his
Forces
with
Ours
for
the
Recovery
of
Our
Childrens
Honours
and
Patrimony
,
which
upon
this
Trust
hath
been
thus
lost
:
Or
if
so
be
his
Forces
at
this
present
be
otherwise
so
imployed
as
that
they
cannot
give
Us
that
assistance
which
We
here
desire
,
and
(
as
We
think
)
have
deserved
,
yet
that
at
the
least
He
will
permit
Us
a
free
and
friendly
passage
through
his
Territories
,
and
Dominions
,
for
such
Forces
as
We
shall
send
and
imploy
in
Germany
for
his
Service
.
Of
all
which
distinctively
,
if
you
receive
not
from
the
King
of
Spain
(
within
ten
daies
at
the
furthest
after
your
Audience
)
a
direct
Assurance
under
his
Hand
and
Seal
,
without
Delay
,
or
putting
Us
off
to
further
Treaties
and
Conferences
:
That
is
to
say
,
of
such
Restitution
,
Cessation
of
Arms
,
and
proceeding
to
a
General
Treaty
,
as
is
before
mentioned
;
or
else
of
assistance
,
and
joyning
his
Forces
with
Ours
,
against
the
Emperour
;
or
at
the
least
,
permission
of
passage
for
Our
Forces
through
his
,
the
said
King's
Dominions
;
that
then
you
take
your
leave
,
and
return
to
Our
Presence
,
without
further
stay
;
Otherwise
to
proceed
in
the
Negotiation
for
the
Marriage
of
Our
Son
,
according
to
the
Instructions
We
have
given
you
.
This
Letter
was
dated
the
Third
of
October
.
And
presently
after
it
was
sent
away
,
the
King
recollected
himself
,
and
thought
it
good
Policy
to
make
some
advantage
of
this
Breach
with
Spain
(
if
there
were
One
)
by
letting
his
People
see
,
he
would
no
longer
wait
the
Spanish
Delayes
;
(
which
they
were
impatient
enough
of
)
therefore
his
Ambassadours
(
to
hinder
the
knowledge
of
it
at
home
)
must
conceal
the
Breach
abroad
,
stay
still
in
the
Spanish
Court
,
as
if
the
Business
were
in
full
Motion
,
and
ripe
for
projection
;
And
he
must
break
it
to
pieces
here
himself
,
to
make
it
the
more
acceptable
;
either
to
get
the
more
love
or
money
from
the
people
,
or
for
what
other
intention
is
unknown
.
But
the
very
next
day
he
sends
this
further
Direction
by
Endimion
Porter
.
RIght
Trusty
,
3.
Letter
to
Digby
.
&c.
We
have
given
you
certain
Instructions
,
signed
with
Our
hand
,
to
direct
you
how
to
express
unto
the
King
of
Spain
the
feeling
We
have
of
the
Dishonour
put
upon
Us
by
the
Emperour
,
through
Our
Trust
and
Confidence
in
that
King's
Promises
,
wherein
you
have
Order
to
come
away
without
further
delay
,
in
case
you
receive
not
Satisfaction
to
your
Demands
,
in
such
sort
as
We
have
Commanded
you
to
propound
them
.
Nevertheless
,
We
are
to
put
you
in
remembrance
of
that
which
We
have
heretofore
told
you
,
in
case
a
Rupture
happen
between
the
King
of
Spain
and
Us
,
that
We
would
be
glad
to
manage
it
at
Our
best
advantage
.
And
therefore
however
you
do
not
find
the
Satisfaction
,
which
We
in
those
Instructions
crave
from
the
King
of
Spain
,
and
have
Reason
to
expect
,
yet
would
We
not
have
your
instantly
come
away
upon
it
,
but
advertise
Us
first
,
letting
Us
know
privately
(
if
you
find
such
cause
)
that
there
is
no
good
to
be
done
,
nor
no
Satisfaction
as
you
judge
intended
Us
,
(
though
Publikely
,
and
Outwardly
you
give
out
the
contrary
)
that
We
may
make
use
thereof
with
Our
People
in
Parliament
,
as
We
shall
hold
best
for
Our
Service
.
And
this
se●
you
do
,
notwithstanding
any
thing
in
your
other
Instructions
to
the
contrary
.
Dated
4.
Octob.
1622.
The
right
Honorable
John
Digby
Earle
of
Bristol
Baron
of
Shirborne
,
Vice
Chamberlaine
to
his
Mar.
and
one
of
the
Lords
of
his
Maiesties
most
Honorable
privy
Counsell
;
and
Embassador
extraordinary
to
the
high
and
Mightie
Philip
the
fourth
king
of
Spaine
.
Are

be
Souto

William

.
IOANNES
THERCLAES
Comes
de
Tilli
.
While
they
were
thus
Wire-drawing
,
time
spun
out
,
The
Palat.
lost
.
Manheim
the
chief
Strength
and
Fortress
in
the
Palatinate
was
taken
by
Tilly
the
Emperour's
General
,
whereof
Sir
Horatio
Vere
was
Commander
,
surrendred
upon
honourable
Conditions
,
having
neither
strength
of
Men
,
or
means
to
resist
an
Enemy
.
Heidelberg
before
it
(
as
the
King
expressed
)
was
taken
by
Assault
,
Sir
Gerard
Herbert
the
Commander
of
the
Castle
slain
,
after
he
had
repulsed
the
Enemy
from
the
Assault
,
breaking
six
Pikes
upon
them
with
his
own
hand
.
And
now
Tilly
(
Winter
comeing
on
)
greedy
to
finish
his
work
,
sits
down
before
Frankendale
,
whereof
Major
Barrowes
had
the
Command
,
a
man
of
as
much
valour
and
experience
,
as
Time
the
Director
,
and
Spirit
the
Actor
could
make
a
man
capable
of
.
But
all
this
,
and
the
Strength
of
the
Town
to
boot
could
not
have
protected
them
,
(
their
Wants
being
stronger
than
their
Enemy
)
if
Tilly
had
not
been
drowned
up
in
his
Trenches
,
which
forced
his
remove
.
And
though
Our
King
said
in
his
last
Answer
to
the
Parliament's
Petition
,
The
Palatinate
a
strong
Countrey
.
That
the
Enemy
would
have
swallowed
up
his
Forces
in
the
Palatinate
in
eight
daies
,
if
my
Lord
Digby
had
not
succoured
it
;
yet
the
weakest
of
the
three
Places
,
which
is
Heidelberg
,
was
not
taken
in
a
moment
;
for
Tilly
in
Iune
last
set
down
before
it
,
and
was
constrained
to
raise
his
Siege
,
being
not
strong
enough
;
and
coming
again
with
a
greater
Power
in
the
end
of
Iuly
following
,
he
was
there
above
two
moneths
before
he
took
so
much
as
any
of
their
Out-Works
.
And
Manheim
,
and
Frankendale
are
two
such
strong
Holds
,
that
if
they
had
been
well
furnished
with
Men
and
Provisions
,
they
might
have
stood
out
against
Tilly
;
nay
the
great
Turk
,
as
well
,
if
not
better
than
Vienna
the
Imperial
City
.
As
soon
as
the
King
had
notice
of
the
taking
of
Manheim
,
Our
King
satisfied
of
Spaines●
good
intentions
.
he
gives
Bristol
intimation
of
it
,
and
was
very
well
satisfied
of
the
King
of
Spain's
good
intentions
for
the
Relief
of
it
,
though
Order
sent
to
the
Infanta
arrived
not
there
till
the
Town
was
surrendred
.
Which
was
the
old
Spanish
plot
of
Philip
the
Second
to
get
Portugal
into
his
hand
,
wherein
he
cheated
the
Pope
himself
,
delaying
his
solicitations
,
by
his
Legate
,
Cardinal
Riario
(
for
Don
Antonio
Bastard
of
Portugal
)
with
specious
and
pleasing
entertainments
,
till
he
had
gotten
the
Castle
of
St.
Iulians
,
the
greatest
strength
of
the
Kingdom
(
then
besieged
by
him
)
into
his
power
.
And
yet
our
King
looked
upon
this
Apparition
as
Real
,
and
thanked
the
King
of
Spain
for
the
good
he
never
intended
.
Articles
of
Marriage
And
now
the
Articles
of
Marriage
that
had
been
long
hatching
,
flew
up
and
down
from
hand
to
hand
:
The
French
Historians
mention
them
:
so
doth
Mr.
Pryn
in
his
hidden
Works
of
darkness
,
as
they
were
found
among
the
Lord
Cottington's
Papers
.
These
came
to
me
from
the
Nest
,
and
I
have
kept
them
till
this
time
,
and
comparing
them
with
other
Copies
,
there
is
scarce
a
feather
amiss
.
Nor
should
they
have
pestered
this
paper
,
but
to
shew
what
great
pains
was
taken
to
little
purpose
,
what
Huge
pretences
shouldred
in
to
make
way
for
the
Spanish
Designs
,
which
at
last
dwindled
to
nothing
.
The
Articles
are
these
.
-
1.
THat
the
Marriage
be
made
by
Dispensation
of
the
Pope

that

of
Spain

with
all
Solemnity
necessary
to

is
Vassail
to
the

of
Great
Britain
,
without
his
will
and
consent
.

well
the
most
gracious
Lady

That

,
or
in
any
other
Kingdom
of
the
King
of
Great
Britain
,
shall
not

and

.
-

That

(

and

and
enjoy

,
shall
wear
the
Vestment
and
Habit
of
his
dignity
profession
and
Religion
,
after
the
custom
of
Rome
.
-
20.
For
security
that
the
said
Matrimony
be
not
dissolved
for
any
cause
whatsoever
;
The
King
of
Great
Britain
and
Prince
Charles
are
equally
to
pass
the
Word
and
Honour
of
a
King
:
and
moreover
that
they
will
perform
whatsoever

be
propounded

the
Catholike
King
for
further
confirmation
,
if
it
may
be
done
decently
and
fitly
.
-
21.
That
the

and
Daughters
which

and
shall

enjoy

to
the
Kingdoms
as

.
-
22.
That
whensoever
any
place
of
either
Man-servant
,
or
Maid-servant
,
which
the
Lady
Infanta
shall
bring
with
her
(
nominated
by
the
Catholike
King
her
Brother
)
shall
happen
to
be
void
,
whether
by

,
or
by
other

,
all
the
said

-
23.
For

that

Capitulated
may
be

,
The
King
of
Great
Britain
and
Prince
Charles
,
are
to
be
bound
by
Oath
,
and
all
the
King's
Council

Moreover
the

and
Prince

to
endeavour
,
if
possible

that
whatsoever

,
may

-
24.
That
conformable
to
this
Treaty
,
all
these
things
proposed
are
to
be
allowed
and
approved
of
by
the
Pope
,
that
he
may
give
an
Apostolical
Benediction
,
and
a
Dispensation
necessary
to
effect
the
Marriage
.
But
though
our
King
,
and
Prince
,
subscribed
these
Articles
(
as
they
were
sent
to
them
by
the
Earl
of
Bristol
)
in
this
manner
;
Hos

,
Spanish
delusion
.
approving
and
expressing
them
to
be
very
acceptable
unto
them
.
And
after
they
had
wrought
the
King
to
sign
these
large
immunities
to
the
Papists
,
viz.
Quod
Regnorum
suorum
Romano
Catholici
persecutionem
nullam

,
molestiáve
officientur
,
Religionis
suae

,
vel

ejusdem
sacramentorum
,
modò

(
quod
intelligi

inter
privatos

)
nec

,
aut
sub
alio
praetextu

:
That
the
Roman
Catholikes
should
not
be
interrupted
in
the
exercise
of
their
Religion
,
doing
it
privately
without
Scandal
,
nor
be
vext
with
any
oaths
in
order
to
the
same
.
What
rested
but
a
closing
of
both
Parties
?
Yet
all
would
not
do
,
for
the
Spaniard
never
intended
the
Match
at
all
,
as
is
evident
by
a
Letter
of
the
King
of
Spain's
written
to
his
Favourite
,
the
Conde
of
Olivares
,
dated
the
Fifth
of
November
,
1622.
found
among
the
Lord
Cottington's
Papers
.
THe
King
my
Father
declared
at
his
Death
,
That
his
intent
never
was
to
marry
my
Sister
,
The
King
of
Spain's
letter
to
Olivares
.
the
Infanta
Donna
Maria
,
with
the
Prince
of
Wales
,
which
your
Unkle
Don
Baltazer
understood
,
and
so
treated
this
Match
,
ever
with
intention
to
delay
it
,
notwithstanding
it
is
now
so
far
advanced
,
that
(
considering
all
the
aversness
of
the
Infanta
to
it
)
it
is
time
to
seek
some
means
to
divert
the
Treaty
,
which
I
would
have
you
find
out
,
and
I
will
make
it
good
whatsoever
it
be
.
But
in
all
other
things
,
procure
the
satisfaction
of
the
King
of
Great
Britain
(
who
hath
deserved
much
)
and
it
shall
content
me
,
so
it
be
not
in
the
Match
.
Thus
was
our
King's
plain
heartedness
deluded
,
his
Honour
blemished
,
his
Love
among
his
Subjects
diminished
,
the
time
for
a
positive
answer
for
the
Dispensation
from
Rome
long
expired
,
and
prolonged
;
his
Childrens
Patrimony
destroyed
,
and
he
left
so
unsatisfied
,
that
the
Prince
himself
,
and
the
Marquess
of
Buckingham
,
must
go
into
Spain
to
unfold
this
Riddle
,
where
they
found
it
as
full
of
Aenigma's
as
at
first
.
He
that
went
to
tye
a
knot
there
,
found
it
so
intangled
,
that
he
took
some
time
there
to
clear
it
;
and
when
it
was
clear
,
he
thought
it
best
,
Scindere
nodum
,
to
cut
that
at
last
,
which
he
could
not
unloose
at
first
.
Bergen
besieged
by
Spinola
.
The
Marquess
Spinola
having
long
since
left
the
Palatinate
to
the
Imperials
Generals
,
with
a
great
Army
,
consisting
of
above
Thirty
thousand
men
,
the
last
Summer
sits
down
before
Berghen
ap
Zome
,
a
Town
of
very
great
Strength
and
Importance
,
upon
the
Borders
of
Brabant
,
and
incloses
himself
with
two
strong
Lines
of
Circumvallation
,
notwithstanding
all
the
Power
the
Town
could
oppose
from
within
,
or
Prince
Maurice
,
General
of
the
States
Army
without
.
And
though
he
were
well
intrenched
for
his
own
Security
,
yet
the
Works
of
the
Town
were
so
impregnable
,
that
he
could
find
no
way
to
gain
it
,
but
by
starving
them
,
and
that
could
not
be
done
but
by
commanding
the
River
;
and
those
Batteries
that
he
planted
to
hinder
the
access
of
Shipping
with
Relief
into
the
Town
,
were
within
reach
of
their
Cannon
,
so
that
he
found
there
was
little
good
to
be
done
,
tending
to
the
reducing
of
it
.
This
struck
the
Marquess
to
the
Heart
,
that
he
should
bury
his
Honour
,
as
he
had
done
a
great
part
of
his
Army
,
in
those
bloody
Trenches
,
and
therefore
he
gave
scope
to
his
Resolution
,
to
make
use
of
his
time
,
for
he
converted
his
intentions
of
Starving
,
to
Assaulting
,
and
his
assaults
were
the
more
furious
,
because
he
found
they
would
not
last
long
;
and
Old
Morgan
,
that
gallant
Colonel
,
with
his
English
Brigade
,
gave
them
their
hands
full
;
the
Scots
did
Gallant
Service
in
the
Town
,
and
their
Colonel
Hinderson
was
slain
;
but
many
of
the
Enemy
fell
on
every
side
;
for
it
is
a
great
disadvantage
for
living
Bodies
to
fight
against
dead
Walls
,
being
so
high
,
and
unassaultable
.
A
General
that
goes
to
besiege
a
City
,
should
have
his
access
to
it
(
in
his
apprehension
)
as
plain
as
a
Mathematician
hath
a
Demonstration
(
except
it
be
upon
some
emergent
cause
)
otherwise
there
is
an
Error
in
his
account
,
and
there
cannot
be
two
,
for
the
Honour
dyes
in
the
first
,
which
touched
the
Marquess
near
,
being
his
great
trouble
,
and
made
him
,
and
his
enterprise
both
droop
.

But
with
many
Necessities
,
The
Battail
of
Fleury
.
in
their
March
through
Lorrain
,
and
Lutzenburgh
,
they
came
to
Fleury
within
eight
miles
of
Namurs
,
where
Corduba
with
a
Spanish
Army
strove
to
hinder
their
passage
;
The
Conflict
was
great
betwixt
them
,
and
many
slain
on
both
sides
,
and
both
triumphed
in
the
Victory
.
For
Corduba
kept
the
Field
,
and
Mansfieldt
kept
his
way
.
But
Mansfieldt's
Victory
was
the
compleatest
,
because
he
attained
to
his
End
,
which
was
,
to
break
through
Corduba
;
But
Corduba
did
not
attain
to
his
End
,
which
was
,
to
hinder
Mansfieldt
.
Yet
the
Spanish
Bravery
was
highly
exalted
with
Bonfires
,
and
rejoycings
both
at
Madrid
,
Brunswick's
Arm
shot
off
.
and
Bruxels
.
The
Duke
of
Brunswicke
lost
his
Bridle
Arm
in
that
service
,
and
many
Gentlemen
both
English
and
Scots
,
out
of
Love
to
the
Queen
of
Bohemia
behaved
themselves
gallantly
,
and
let
the
Spaniard
know
;
it
was
more
than
an
ordinary
shock
they
encountered
with
.
Among
whom
Sir
Charles
Rich
,
brother
to
the
E.
of
Warwick
was
a
Principal
person
,
whose
Voluntary
Spirit
,
not
necessity
,
made
danger
his
Companion
,
where
Honour
attended
it
.
Sir
Iames
Heyes
,
Knevet
,
Humes
,
Heiborn
,
and
other
Commanders
striving
for
Corrivalship
in
Bravery
.
Spinola
raises
his
Siege
.
Spinola
hearing
that
Mansfieldt
was
broken
through
Corduba's
Army
,
and
come
into
Brabant
,
made
the
Court
Splendor
of
Corduba's
Conquest
appear
but
Ignes
fatui
,
which
also
something
extinguisht
the
glory
of
his
own
fame
.
For
he
thought
it
good
policy
(
seeing
he
should
be
necessitated
to
leave
the
Siege
of
Berghen
)
to
do
it
at
that
time
,
when
there
might
be
cause
to
think
it
occasioned
by
that
Accident
,
more
than
his
default
.
And
therefore
as
soon
as
the
Prince
of
Orange
and
Mansfieldt
had
joyned
forces
,
though
Corduba
came
to
him
and
reinforced
his
Army
,
yet
Winter
drawing
on
,
and
his
Army
almost
wasted
,
he
trussed
up
his
Baggage
in
haste
,
set
his
Camp
a-fire
,
and
departed
,
leaving
to
his
Hungry
Enemies
good
store
of
Wine
,
and
other
Provisions
,
in
his
burning
Quarters
.
And
thus
stood
the
Ballance
this
year
betwixt
the
King
of
Spain
and
the
Netherlands
.
Buckingham's
Medicine
to
cure
the
King
's
melancholy
.
But
our
King
receiving
so
many
delays
,
and
dissatisfactions
from
Spain
,
and
Rome
,
they
begot
him
so
much
trouble
,
and
Vexation
,
that
crowding
into
his
thoughts
,
prest
upon
his
Natural
Temper
,
some
fits
of
Melancholy
,
which
those
about
him
with
facetious
Mirth
,
would
strive
to
Mitigate
;
And
having
exhausted
their
inventions
,
or
not
making
use
of
such
as
were
more
pregnant
,
the
Marquess
and
his
Mother
(
instead
of
Mirth
)
fell
upon
Prophaneness
,
thinking
with
that
to
please
him
,
and
perhaps
they
were
only
mistaken
in
the
unseasonableness
of
the
time
,
being
not
then
suitable
to
the
Humor
.
For
they
caus'd
Mistris
Aspernham
,
a
young
Gentlewoman
of
the
Kindred
,
to
dress
a
Pigg
like
a
Child
,
and
the
Old
Countess
like
a
Midwife
brought
it
in
to
the
King
in
a
rich
Mantle
.
Turpin
that
married
one
of
the
Kindred
(
whose
name
was
renowned
for
a
Bishop
in
the
Romances
of
the
Emperor
Charlemain
)
was
drest
like
a
Bishop
,
in
his
Sattin
Gown
,
Lawn
sleeves
,
and
other
Pontifical
Ornaments
,
who
(
with
the
Common
Prayer
book
)
began
the
words
of
Baptism
,
one
attending
with
a
silver
Bason
of
Water
for
the
Service
,
the
King
hearing
the
Ceremonies
of
Baptism
read
,
and
the
squeeking
noise
of
that
Brute
he
most
abhorred
,
turned
himself
to
see
what
Pageant
it
was
,
and
finding
Turpin's
face
,
which
he
well
knew
,
drest
like
a
Bishop
;
and
the
Marquess
,
whose
face
he
most
of
all
loved
,
stand
as
a
Godfather
,
he
cryed
out
,
away
for
shame
,
what
Blasphemy
is
this
?
and
turning
aside
with
a
frown
,
he
gave
them
cause
to
think
that
such
ungodly
Mirth
would
rather
increase
than
cure
his
Melancholly
.
Another
time
at
Theobalds
the
King
wanted
some
papers
that
had
Relation
to
the
Spanish
Treaty
,
so
hot
in
Motion
,
which
raised
him
highly
into
the
Passion
of
Anger
,
that
he
should
not
know
what
he
had
done
with
them
,
The
King's
Choler
.
being
things
so
material
,
and
of
such
conoernment
,
And
calling
his
Memory
to
a
strict
account
,
at
last
he
discharged
it
upon
Iohn
Gib
,
a
Scotchman
,
who
was
of
his
Bedchamber
,
and
had
been
an
old
Servant
to
him
.
Gib
is
called
for
in
haste
,
and
the
King
asks
him
for
the
Papers
he
gave
him
;
Gib
collecting
himself
;
answered
the
King
,
he
received
no
papers
from
him
.
The
King
broke
into
extream
Rage
(
as
he
would
often
when
the
Humor
of
Choler
began
to
boil
in
him
)
protesting
he
had
them
,
and
reviling
him
exceedingly
for
denying
them
.
Gib
threw
himself
at
the
King's
feet
protesting
his
innocency
,
that
he
never
received
any
,
and
desired
his
life
might
make
satisfaction
for
his
fault
if
he
were
guilty
.
This
could
not
calm
the
King's
Spirit
tossed
in
this
tempest
of
Passion
;
and
overcharged
with
it
,
as
he
passed
by
Gib
(
kneeling
)
threw
some
of
it
upon
him
;
giving
him
a
kick
with
his
foot
.
Which
kick
infected
Gib
,
and
turned
his
humility
into
Anger
;
for
rising
instantly
he
said
:
Sir
,
I
have
served
you
from
my
youth
,
and
you
never
found
me
unfaithful
,
I
have
not
deserved
this
from
you
,
nor
can
I
live
longer
with
you
with
this
disgrace
;
Fare
ye
well
Sir
,
I
will
never
see
your
face
more
:
and
away
he
goes
from
the
King's
presence
,
took
Horse
,
and
rode
towards
London
.
Those
about
the
King
put
on
a
sad
countenance
to
see
him
displeased
,
and
every
man
was
inquisitive
to
know
the
cause
,
some
said
the
King
and
Gib
were
faln
out
;
but
about
what
?
some
papers
of
the
Spanish
Treaty
,
the
King
had
given
him
,
cannot
be
found
.
Endimion
Porter
hearing
it
,
said
,
The
King
gave
me
those
Papers
,
went
presently
,
and
brought
them
to
the
King
,
who
being
becalmed
,
and
finding
his
Error
,
called
instantly
for
Gib
;
Answer
was
made
he
was
gone
to
London
:
The
King
hearing
it
,
commanded
with
all
expedition
to
send
post
after
him
,
to
bring
him
back
,
protesting
never
to
Eat
,
His
sanguine
.
Drink
,
or
Sleep
till
he
saw
Gib's
face
.
The
Messenger
overtook
him
before
he
got
to
London
,
and
Gib
hearing
the
Papers
were
found
,
and
that
the
King
sent
for
him
with
much
earnestness
,
returned
to
the
Court.
And
as
he
came
into
the
King's
Chamber
,
the
King
kneeled
down
upon
his
Knees
before
Gib
,
intreating
his
pardon
,
with
a
sober
and
grave
aspect
,
protesting
he
would
never
rise
till
Gib
had
forgiven
him
,
and
though
Gibs
modestly
declined
it
with
some
humble
excuses
,
yet
it
would
not
satisfie
the
King
,
till
he
heard
the
words
of
absolution
pronounced
.
So
ingenious
was
he
in
this
piece
of
Passion
!
Which
had
its
suddain
variation
from
a
stern
and
furious
anger
,
to
a
soft
and
melting
affection
,
which
made
Gib
no
loser
by
the
bargain
.
Thus
the
King
's
Melancholy
,
Cholerick
,
and
Sanguine
constitution
appeared
.
But
of
all
the
Humors
,
Flegm
was
now
the
most
predominant
,
which
made
him
so
tamely
swallow
those
raw
fruits
of
Spain
,
that
all
his
Exercise
could
not
well
digest
.
His
Flegmatick
Humor
.
A
Diet
at
Ratisbone
.
7
Ian.
In
Ianuary
this
year
,
the
Diet
which
the
Emperor
had
summoned
(
contrary
to
his
promise
,
as
our
King
intimates
)
met
at
Ratisbone
,
where
the
Electors
and
divers
other
Princes
of
Germany
assembled
,
either
in
their
own
persons
,
or
by
their
Deputies
.
The
Imperial
design
was
to
take
off
the
edge
of
the
Princes
dissatisfaction
,
for
his
harsh
proceedings
against
the
Prince
Palatine
;
wherein
he
makes
him
the
ground
work
,
and
cause
of
all
the
Wars
,
and
miseries
,
that
have
hapned
in
the
Empire
.
And
thinking
no
man
(
as
he
said
)
would
take
the
boldness
to
mediate
the
Restitution
of
the
proscribed
Palatine
into
the
Electoral
College
,
he
could
do
no
less
than
dispose
of
the
Electorate
,
now
(
plenojure
)
devolved
unto
him
,
as
Emperor
,
which
he
had
bestowed
on
the
Duke
of
Bavaria
for
spending
his
Treasure
,
and
hazarding
his
Blood
in
his
service
,
against
his
own
Nephew
,
the
expulsed
Palatine
,
Wherefore
he
requests
the
illustrious
presence
of
Electors
and
Princes
,
to
give
their
opinions
,
how
the
peace
of
the
Empire
may
be
established
,
to
prevent
all
commotions
for
the
future
.
The
opinion
of
the
Protestant
Princes
.
The
Princes
took
this
Proposition
of
the
Emperor
into
debate
,
and
the
Protestant
Princes
desired
Caesar
to
consider
the
importance
of
the
Business
.
That
though
his
Imperial
Majesty
in
his
own
judgment
may
have
had
Cause
enough
to
publish
the
Ban
against
the
Prince
Palatine
,
yet
they
are
of
Opinion
,
that
in
his
particular
Cause
,
which
so
neerly
concerned
the
disposing
of
an
Electorate
of
the
Empire
,
and
so
principal
a
Person
of
the
Electoral
College
(
the
suddain
doing
whereof
might
occasion
,
long
,
and
tedious
Wars
,
dangerous
to
the
Roman
Empire
)
that
Caesar
should
not
of
himself
have
proceeded
so
rigorously
,
nor
without
the
advice
,
and
consent
,
of
all
the
rest
of
the
Electors
,
according
as
it
was
agreed
upon
in
the
Capitulation
Royal
,
which
is
holden
for
a
fundamental
Law
of
the
Empire
.
Which
course
of
Caesar's
,
even
for
the
manner
of
proceeding
in
it
,
was
distasted
by
Divers
,
because
the
Prince
Palatinate
had
never
been
legally
summoned
,
but
uncited
,
and
unheard
,
without
all
knowledge
of
his
Cause
,
and
contrary
to
all
ordinary
Course
,
had
been
condemned
,
and
against
all
Equity
,
oppressed
by
the
Publication
of
that
Imperial
Ban.
We
purpose
not
to
call
the
Power
Imperial
into
question
,
yet
we
cannot
but
remember
your
Majesty
of
that
Promise
made
in
your
Capitulation
unto
the
Electors
;
and
humbly
We
admonish
Caesar
,
to
stand
unto
his
own
word
,
and
not
to
intermit
the
performance
of
it
.
And
as
for
the
disposing
of
the
Electorate
,
we
desire
nothing
more
than
that
We
could
gratifie
Caesar
with
Our
Suffrages
;
But
perceiving
so
many
,
and
so
great
Difficulties
in
it
,
We
cannot
but
admonish
your
Majesty
of
the
danger
of
it
.
This
being
the
Opinion
of
Our
Electors
,
that
seeing
your
Majesty
hath
graciously
called
the
Diet
for
restoring
Peace
in
the
Empire
,
that
it
were
altogether
necessary
first
to
remove
the
Obstacles
of
Peace
.
And
seeing
that
all
the
stirs
began
in
Bohemia
,
Caesar
should
do
well
to
labour
first
for
the
quieting
of
that
Kingdom
,
and
command
a
stay
to
be
made
of
the
severe
Reformation
,
and
frequent
Executions
there
;
That
so
the
Hearts
of
your
Subjects
being
overcome
with
Grace
and
Mercy
,
might
be
sweetly
joyned
to
you
,
and
all
fear
,
and
distrust
,
utterly
taken
away
;
without
which
,
we
see
no
hope
,
either
how
your
Majesty
can
sit
sure
upon
your
Imperial
Throne
,
or
how
the
Electors
and
Princes
can
be
freed
of
their
fears
;
being
evident
,
that
the
Bohemians
,
and
others
,
made
desperate
by
the
Extremity
of
their
sufferings
,
will
take
any
occasion
to
begin
new
troubles
,
and
to
involve
the
Empire
with
new
Dangers
.
All
the
Lutheran
States
of
the
Empire
,
likewise
,
which
follow
the
Augustan
Confession
,
have
their
Eyes
upon
this
Bohemian
Reformation
,
which
though
it
were
given
out
to
be
for
private
Iustice
,
yet
it
is
so
linkt
with
the
publick
cause
,
that
unless
it
be
speedily
ended
,
and
the
two
Churches
at
Prague
(
granted
by
Rodolphus
the
second
)
not
in
favour
of
some
private
men
alone
,
but
of
Christian
Elector
of
Saxony
,
and
which
had
continued
free
until
of
late
)
were
again
opened
,
and
the
free
exercise
of
Religion
generally
permitted
,
We
see
no
sure
Peace
likely
to
be
in
the
Empire
,
but
utter
ruine
rather
,
and
final
desolation
,
may
every
day
be
feared
.
Seeing
it
was
apparently
known
,
that
it
was
not
those
that
professed
the
Reformed
Religion
,
who
begun
these
troubles
;
but
the
Noblemen
and
great
Officers
,
whose
designs
the
other
were
compelled
to
obey
.
And
for
the
Prince
Palatine
,
seeing
he
is
already
sufficiently
punished
,
it
were
far
more
commendable
in
your
Majesty
,
that
now
at
last
upon
his
submission
,
you
would
be
pleased
to
restore
him
to
his
Lands
and
Dignities
,
otherwise
there
is
no
likelihood
of
Restoring
Peace
to
the
Empire
.
And
in
the
transferring
of
the
Electorate
,
this
main
thing
were
fit
to
be
considered
;
Whether
the
Prince
Palatine
,
excluded
in
his
own
person
,
doth
debar
his
Children
,
who
(
by
the
providence
of
their
Ancestors
)
had
before
this
Act
of
their
Father
,
jus
adquisitum
,
an
Hereditary
Right
unto
the
Electorate
;
or
the
brother
of
the
Prince
Palatine
,
who
hath
no
way
offended
your
Majesty
;
nor
,
by
reason
of
his
Minority
,
could
not
;
Or
others
of
the
Kindred
of
the
Prince
Palatine
,
should
be
,
or
ought
to
be
in
this
Case
neglected
?
If
they
be
,
it
will
be
hardly
taken
of
other
Electors
and
Princes
,
and
occasion
various
Distrusts
,
betwixt
the
Head
and
the
Members
.
For
the
Princes
allied
unto
the
Prince
Palatine
,
who
have
been
quiet
hitherto
,
(
upon
Considence
of
Caesar's
Clemency
)
now
perceiving
all
hope
of
that
Dignity
unto
their
Family
taken
away
,
must
needs
have
Recourse
unto
Arms
,
and
endeavour
the
Recovery
of
it
by
force
.
And
if
Caesar
should
die
,
this
controversie
being
not
compounded
,
it
may
well
be
feared
,
many
inconveniences
will
fall
out
,
contrary
to
Caesar's
desire
.
For
though
upon
the
advantage
of
his
Victories
,
he
hath
had
the
Law
in
his
own
hand
,
if
the
Wheel
should
turn
,
that
side
which
is
lowest
will
get
up
again
.
Therefore
We
hold
it
more
Wisdom
to
advise
Caesar
,
not
to
proceed
too
suddenly
,
but
rather
to
accept
the
intercession
of
other
Electors
and
Princes
,
as
in
such
Cases
hath
hitherto
been
done
.
Considering
the
Prince
Palatine
was
then
but
young
,
abused
by
ill
Councel
,
and
no
ways
the
Author
of
those
stirs
in
Bohemia
,
they
being
in
an
uproar
before
his
coming
among
them
.
And
if
his
Majesty
would
pardon
the
Prince
Palatine
,
he
should
ever
oblige
the
whole
Electoral
College
,
and
all
the
Kings
and
Princes
allied
unto
him
;
and
the
Prince
himself
,
and
all
his
posterity
,
would
be
advised
(
when
they
remember
their
Exile
)
how
they
embroil
themselves
in
such
Business
.
Whereas
if
he
saw
the
door
of
Mercy
quite
shut
,
and
nothing
left
him
but
his
life
,
it
would
make
both
him
,
and
his
,
desperate
to
attempt
,
so
as
there
would
be
no
end
of
the
Troubles
in
the
Roman
Empire
.
Caesar
therefore
should
do
far
righter
,
if
for
his
own
Honour
,
and
the
publick
good
,
he
would
prefer
mercy
before
severity
,
and
not
pursue
these
Extremities
.
To
these
things
the
Catholick
Princes
said
,
That
Caesar
had
shown
Causes
enough
which
he
had
to
deprive
the
Palatine
,
The
opinion
of
the
Popish
Princes
.
and
the
Palatinate
being
devolved
to
him
,
he
might
dispose
of
it
,
without
having
regard
to
the
Palatine
line
,
according
to
his
own
pleasure
.
That
his
Majesty
could
not
well
hold
any
terms
of
Amity
with
him
,
though
he
were
restored
;
and
this
impunity
would
give
occasion
unto
others
to
offend
.
As
for
the
matter
of
Punishment
,
there
would
be
little
difference
between
the
Emperor
,
and
the
Palatine
,
seeing
that
his
Majestie
's
Lands
and
Dominions
,
are
no
less
wasted
than
the
others
,
and
yet
there
is
great
difference
in
the
cause
;
for
this
fell
out
to
Caesar
without
his
Demerit
,
and
the
Palatine
did
the
other
,
having
no
necessity
to
it
.
That
he
had
refused
mercy
,
in
not
acknowledging
his
fault
,
nor
seeking
for
favour
.
And
it
is
an
unequal
Request
for
Caesar
to
accept
of
any
Reconciliation
,
whilst
his
General
Mansfield
is
yet
in
the
field
,
and
prosecutes
his
cause
by
force
of
Arms.
The
safety
of
the
Empire
consisting
in
the
filling
up
of
the
Electoral
College
Caesar
hath
done
very
well
in
a
speedy
resolving
on
it
,
and
other
Emperors
in
the
like
causes
have
done
the
same
before
.
The
Reply
of
the
Protestant
Princes
.
To
which
the
other
party
answered
:
That
for
the
security
of
the
Imperial
Dignity
,
and
safety
of
the
Empire
,
there
is
no
question
,
but
that
it
consisted
in
the
Concord
of
the
Electoral
College
,
with
the
Emperor
.
And
the
Prince
Palatine
hath
(
as
you
say
)
done
amiss
,
yet
if
Caesar
shall
still
use
Rigor
,
the
Princes
of
the
lower
Saxony
are
of
Opinion
,
there
can
be
no
Peace
established
in
the
Empire
,
the
good
of
which
being
most
worthy
to
be
preferred
,
Caesar
should
do
wisely
to
suffer
himself
to
be
intreated
,
and
change
Rigor
into
Clemency
,
making
the
Empire
by
that
means
glad
with
a
desired
Peace
,
otherwise
new
flames
were
likely
to
break
out
,
in
those
places
which
yet
are
preserved
from
burning
.
That
Caesar
had
now
by
the
aid
of
the
Electors
,
and
Princes
,
recovered
his
lost
Provinces
,
and
wanting
nothing
but
quiet
possession
of
them
which
,
this
desired
Reconciliation
was
the
best
means
to
effect
.
The
hand
of
War
may
be
lifted
up
,
but
who
knows
where
the
stroak
will
fall
?
and
Victory
is
so
long
uncertain
,
as
the
adverse
party
hath
power
to
reinforce
his
Arms.
And
for
the
renewing
of
the
War
,
there
is
yet
a
fair
pretence
left
,
for
that
in
bestowing
the
Electorate
,
the
Prince
Palatine's
sons
,
and
brother
have
been
neglected
,
and
with
these
Principles
are
the
minds
of
many
of
the
Princes
of
the
Empire
already
possessed
.
The
King
of
Great
Britain
besides
could
not
but
take
it
ill
,
that
he
should
now
see
all
his
endeavours
take
no
good
effect
,
but
his
only
daughter
and
her
Children
,
left
in
exile
.
And
as
for
the
manner
of
this
Reconciliation
,
there
might
be
a
particular
Treaty
,
and
Consultation
,
wherein
Caesar's
Prerogative
imperial
being
reserved
,
all
parties
might
receive
Satisfaction
,
and
the
Empire
once
again
flourish
in
Peace
.
If
these
Remedies
be
not
applied
it
will
produce
ill
blood
,
yea
Heart-burnings
,
and
distrusts
,
in
the
Electoral
College
it self
.
The
Emperour's
Reply
.
The
Elector
of
Saxony
.
These
several
answers
delivered
to
the
Emperor
,
the
twentieth
of
Ianuary
,
he
replyed
unto
,
thanking
them
for
their
consultations
.
And
though
some
(
saith
he
)
have
wisely
heretofore
resolved
us
,
that
our
proceedings
in
proscribing
the
Palatine
was
both
legal
and
necessary
,
yet
now
we
perceive
some
of
you
are
of
opinion
that
according
to
our
Capitulation
Royal
,
we
ought
not
to
have
proceeded
so
far
,
without
the
Knowledg
,
and
consent
of
the
Electors
.
But
as
we
have
no
ways
gone
begond
this
our
Capitulation
,
but
even
before
we
set
out
the
Ban
,
punctually
considered
all
that
was
necessary
to
be
taken
notice
of
;
so
did
we
also
desire
nothing
more
then
that
a
Diet
might
be
convoked
,
for
the
due
treating
and
advising
upon
this
Business
:
which
meeting
being
impeded
by
the
prosecution
of
the
War
by
the
Palatine
,
we
could
do
no
less
,
to
take
down
his
courage
,
than
publish
the
Ban
against
him
:
which
course
of
ours
,
seeing
it
was
never
intended
to
be
prosecuted
to
the
prejudice
of
the
Electoral
College
,
or
against
our
own
Capitulation
,
we
hope
that
the
Electors
will
not
take
it
otherwise
;
being
that
we
promise
withal
,
so
to
moderate
it
,
that
no
detriment
,
or
prejudice
shall
result
thereby
unto
the
Dignity
Electoral
.
As
for
the
Translation
of
the
Electorate
,
and
your
advice
for
Restoring
of
the
Palatinate
,
there
is
(
I
perceive
)
some
difference
in
your
Opinions
.
One
part
wisely
,
and
in
favour
of
us
,
affirming
the
great
Reason
we
have
to
do
it
.
But
for
the
other
party
,
which
adviseth
his
Restoring
,
we
purpose
not
so
far
to
consent
unto
it
,
as
to
the
restoring
of
him
to
the
Electoral
Dignity
,
seeing
that
in
the
disposing
of
it
other
where
,
we
are
resolved
that
we
shall
do
no
more
than
we
have
just
reason
to
do
:
nor
will
we
defer
the
filling
up
of
the
Electoral
College
,
because
the
dispatching
of
it
doth
so
much
concern
the
Common
good
.
But
for
the
Restitution
of
the
Person
of
the
Palatine
,
you
shall
see
how
much
our
Mind
is
inclined
towards
clemency
▪
and
how
far
we
will
declare
Our self
to
gratifie
the
King
of
Great
Britain
,
the
King
of
Denmark
,
the
Elector
of
Saxony
,
and
other
Electors
,
and
Princes
,
interceding
for
him
.
And
as
concerning
our
forbidding
the
Exercise
of
the
Lutheran
Religion
in
the
City
of
Prague
;
we
do
not
see
how
it
any
way
concerns
this
Diet
to
inquire
of
;
our
Letter
have
signified
the
causes
that
moved
us
to
begin
it
unto
the
Elector
of
Saxony
,
nor
can
we
think
that
what
we
have
done
there
,
any
of
the
Neighbour
States
or
Territories
,
need
be
suspicious
of
seeing
that
we
have
sworn
oftner
than
once
in
the
Word
of
an
Emperour
,
that
we
will
most
Religiously
observe
the
Peace
,
both
of
Religion
,
and
civil
Government
,
throughout
the
Empire
.
And
thus
much
we
could
not
but
advertise
this
Illustrious
Presence
of
Electors
,
and
Princes
,
and
you
the
Ambassadors
of
those
that
are
absent
.
The
Protestants
answer
.
The
Protestant
Electors
,
and
Princes
,
still
persisted
in
their
Resolution
,
that
the
Emperour
could
not
translate
the
Electorate
legally
,
the
words
of
the
Capitulation
,
being
clearly
these
.
In
all
difficult
businesses
,
no
process
ought
to
be
made
,
without
the
knowledg
and
consent
of
the
Electors
;
and
that
without
ordinary
process
,
no
proscription
should
go
out
against
any
one
of
the
States
of
the
Empire
,
before
the
cause
were
heard
.
This
is
the
fundamental
Law
of
the
Empire
,
which
required
no
more
,
but
to
be
constantly
observed
,
nor
is
it
to
be
drawn
into
further
dispute
,
or
deliberation
.
And
it
stood
the
Electors
upon
,
to
be
open
eyed
,
to
see
to
the
observation
of
it
,
being
it
concerned
the
three
Secular
Electors
especially
,
whose
Dignity
,
did
by
an
Hereditary
Right
descend
unto
their
Posterity
,
to
keep
it
safe
,
and
entire
,
which
they
hoped
that
Caesar
would
not
contradict
.
Result
of
all
.
But
the
Emperour
would
not
be
perswaded
from
his
own
Resolution
,
yet
in
conclusion
,
to
gratifie
the
Princes
,
he
was
contented
to
confer
the
Electorate
,
with
a
Proviso
,
that
the
investiture
of
the
Duke
of
Bavaria
,
should
not
be
prejudicial
to
the
children
of
the
Palatine
;
and
so
the
Diet
ended
.
The
ending
of
the
Diet
in
Germany
,
The
Prince's
journey
into
Spain
.
and
our
Prince's
Journey
into
Spain
,
were
much
about
a
time
.
He
went
with
the
Marquess
of
Buckingham
privately
from
Court
the
17.
of
February
to
New-Hall
in
Essex
,
the
Marquess's
House
(
purchased
of
that
unthrift
,
Robert
Earl
of
Sussex
)
and
from
thence
the
next
day
by
Graves-End
the
straight
way
to
Dover
,
attended
onely
by
Sir
Richard
Graham
,
Master
of
the
Marquess's
Horse
,
where
they
were
to
meet
Sir
Francis
Cottington
,
who
was
thought
fit
to
be
the
Prince's
Secretary
,
and
Endimion
Porter
,
who
was
then
taken
from
the
Marquess's
Bed-Chamber
to
wait
upon
the
Prince
.
Cottington
was
at
first
,
Clerk
to
Sir
Charles
Cornwallis
his
Secretary
,
when
Cornwallis
was
Ambassadour
in
Spain
;
and
being
left
there
an
Agent
,
in
the
Intervals
of
Ambassadours
,
was
by
that
means
trained
up
in
the
Spanish
affairs
:
Porter
was
bred
up
in
Spain
when
he
was
a
Boy
,
and
had
the
Language
,
but
found
no
other
Fortune
there
,
then
brought
him
over
to
be
Mr.
Edward
Villers
his
man
,
in
Fleetstreet
,
which
was
before
either
the
Marquess
or
his
Master
were
acceptable
at
White-Hall
.
And
Graham
at
first
was
an
underling
of
low
degree
in
the
Marquess's
Stable
.
It
is
not
hereby
intended
to
vilifie
the
persons
,
being
men
(
in
this
World's
lottery
)
as
capable
of
advancement
as
others
;
but
to
show
in
how
poor
a
Bark
,
the
King
ventured
the
rich
freight
his
Son
,
having
onely
the
Marquess
to
steer
his
Course
.
The
Prince
and
Buckingham
had
false
Beards
for
disguizes
,
By
Dover
.
to
cover
their
smooth
Faces
,
and
the
names
of
Iack
Smith
,
and
Tom
Smith
,
which
they
past
with
,
leaving
behind
them
impressions
in
every
place
(
with
their
bounty
,
and
presence
)
that
they
were
not
the
Persons
they
presented
;
but
they
were
not
so
rudely
dealt
with
as
to
be
questioned
till
they
came
to
Dover
,
and
there
the
Mayor
in
a
Supercilious
Officiousness
(
which
may
deserve
the
title
of
a
careful
Magistrate
)
examined
them
so
far
,
(
being
jealous
they
were
Gentlemen
going
over
to
fight
)
that
the
Marquess
(
though
Admiral
)
was
glad
to
Vail
his
Beard
to
him
in
private
,
and
tell
him
he
was
going
to
visit
the
Fleet
,
so
they
had
liberty
to
take
Ship
,
and
landed
at
Bulloign
the
same
day
,
making
swist
Motion
by
Post-Horses
(
which
celerity
leaves
the
least
impression
)
till
they
came
to
Paris
;
Paris
.
There
the
Prince
spent
one
day
to
view
the
City
and
Court
,
shadowing
himself
the
most
he
could
under
a
Bushy
Peruque
,
which
none
in
former
times
but
bald
people
used
,
but
now
generally
intruded
into
a
fashion
;
and
the
Prince's
was
so
big
,
that
it
was
hair
enough
for
his
whole
face
.
The
Marquesses
fair
Face
was
shadowed
with
the
same
Pencil
,
and
they
both
together
saw
the
Queen
Mother
at
Dinner
,
the
King
in
the
Gallery
after
Dinner
,
and
towards
the
Evening
they
had
a
full
view
of
the
Queen
Infanta
,
and
the
Princess
Henrietta
Maria
,
with
most
of
the
Beauties
of
the
Court
,
at
the
practice
of
a
Masking
Dance
,
being
admitted
by
the
Duke
of
Montbason
,
the
Queens
Lord
Chamberlain
in
Humanity
to
Strangers
,
when
many
of
the
French
were
put
by
.
There
the
Prince
saw
those
Eyes
that
after
inflamed
his
Heart
,
which
increased
so
much
,
that
it
was
thought
to
be
the
cause
of
setting
Three
Kingdoms
afire
:
but
whether
any
spark
of
it
did
then
appear
,
is
uncertain
;
if
it
did
,
it
was
closely
raked
up
,
till
the
Spanish
fire
went
out
;
the
heat
whereof
made
him
neglect
●no
time
till
he
came
to
Madrid
.
Burdeaux
.
At
Burdeaux
,
the
Duke
D'Espernon
,
Governour
there
,
out
of
a
noble
freedom
to
Strangers
,
offered
them
the
Civilities
of
his
House
,
which
they
declined
with
all
bashful
respects
,
and
Sr
Francis
Cottington
who
always
looked
like
a
Merchant
,
and
had
the
least
Miene
of
a
Gentleman
(
fittest
for
such
an
imployment
)
let
him
know
,
they
were
Gentlemen
that
desired
to
improve
themselves
,
and
had
not
Breeding
suitable
to
his
Grandeur
;
which
took
off
the
edge
of
his
invitation
,
whose
subtile
Eye
by
Converse
might
have
pryed
through
those
fictitious
out-sides
,
to
discover
more
then
did
appear
.
MARY
DE
MEDICIS
.
Upon
Saturday
the
sixth
of
March
,
At
Madrid
.
they
arrived
at
Madrid
.
The
Prince
and
Marquess
came
thither
one
day
before
Cottington
,
and
the
others
,
to
make
the
less
noise
in
appearances
.
They
lighted
at
the
Earl
of
Bristol's
House
,
in
the
evening
,
and
the
Marquess
brought
in
the
Portmantua
,
but
his
Master
staid
without
with
the
Guide
,
till
he
had
prepared
a
way
for
Privacy
.
The
Earl
of
Bristol
was
astonished
at
the
sight
,
but
after
he
had
collected
himself
,
his
Diligence
attended
his
Duty
,
and
the
Prince
wanted
nothing
but
Counsel
how
to
order
himself
,
which
they
took
time
(
till
the
next
day
towards
the
Evening
)
to
deliberate
on
.
All
that
morning
the
Town
was
filled
with
Rumours
of
the
arrival
of
some
great
Prince
,
and
though
the
King
of
Spain
had
intimation
by
his
Letters
,
yet
he
kept
all
private
till
the
Prince
exprest
himself
,
which
was
done
that
Evening
.
For
Buckingham
and
Bristol
went
to
the
Court
,
and
had
private
Audience
of
the
King
,
who
sent
his
Grand
favourite
Olivares
back
with
them
to
congratulate
the
Princes
coming
,
who
let
the
Prince
know
how
Happy
the
King
his
Master
was
in
the
Injoyment
of
him
there
,
and
what
addition
of
Grandure
his
presence
would
contribute
to
the
Court
of
Spain
,
and
that
the
obligation
was
so
great
,
that
he
deserved
to
have
the
Infanta
thrown
into
his
Armes
.
All
this
while
kneeling
,
kissing
his
Hands
,
and
embracing
his
Thigh
!
the
Huge
and
swelling
expressions
of
Spanish
Humility
.
And
from
him
he
went
to
the
Marquess
of
Buckingham
,
telling
him
,
That
now
the
Prince
of
England
was
in
Spain
,
his
Master
and
he
would
divide
the
World
betwixt
them
,
with
other
Rodomontado
fancies
.
And
after
he
was
gone
,
about
ten
of
the
Clock
that
night
,
the
King
of
Spain
came
in
a
close
Coach
to
Visit
the
Prince
,
who
having
intimation
of
his
coming
(
such
secret
Hints
among
Princes
being
suitable
invitements
)
he
met
him
in
the
way
,
and
there
they
spent
some
time
in
those
sweet
,
yet
formal
Caresses
and
Imbraces
,
that
are
incidents
to
the
Interviews
of
great
Princes
,
though
their
Hearts
and
Tongues
do
seldom
accord
.
Gondemar
in
consort
was
not
without
his
Strain
of
Complement
,
for
he
told
the
Prince
upon
a
Visit
next
day
;
that
he
had
strange
news
to
tell
him
;
which
was
,
That
an
Englishman
was
sworn
a
privy
-
Councellour
to
the
King
of
Spain
;
meaning
himself
,
who
he
said
was
an
Englishman
in
Heart
,
and
had
lately
received
that
Honour
.
CRUX
FIDEI
COTI●
CULA
All
that
the
Spanish
Court
could
do
was
heightned
into
Gallantry
and
Civilities
to
the
Prince
,
His
Royal
entertainment
.
yet
he
saw
not
his
fair
Mistris
but
at
an
undiscerning
distance
,
and
in
transitu
,
as
she
came
from
Church
.
But
after
all
these
Splendid
,
and
glorious
out-side
Ceremonies
of
Entertainment
,
were
grown
a
little
old
,
the
Prince
began
to
mind
the
Business
he
came
about
,
and
desired
a
more
intimate
access
to
his
Beloved
Infanta
,
which
Olivares
promised
from
day
to
day
to
accomplish
,
but
still
delayed
;
and
at
length
,
when
unperformed
promises
were
heightned
into
Shame
,
he
plainly
confessed
,
That
it
was
agreed
by
the
King
and
his
Council
,
that
he
might
not
see
her
as
a
Lover
,
till
the
Dispensation
came
;
for
it
would
give
scandal
to
admit
him
before
,
yet
not
to
starve
him
quite
in
his
Desires
(
but
to
keep
him
short
that
he
should
not
surfeit
)
he
had
now
and
then
Access
to
her
as
a
Prince
,
in
a
publike
way
,
the
King
of
Spain
being
always
present
,
and
the
Earl
of
Bristol
Interpreter
,
so
that
nothing
could
be
spoken
,
but
those
little
superficial
Compliments
,
that
served
as
Baits
rather
to
nibble
on
,
than
satisfie
.
But
these
small
Repasts
kept
up
the
Appetite
.
The
English
Nobility
flock
into
Spain
.
And
now
the
Glories
of
the
English
Court
left
the
Northern
Sun
declining
to
the
West
,
and
came
to
see
the
Sun
rising
in
Spain
.
The
Marquess
of
Buckingham's
new
Title
of
Duke
came
to
him
also
,
(
that
he
might
be
in
the
highest
Rank
among
the
Spanish
Grandees
)
to
beard
the
proudest
of
them
;
which
afterwards
he
did
.
And
the
Viscount
Doncaster
(
lately
made
Earl
of
Carlile
)
came
in
all
his
Glories
;
of
which
two
,
it
was
observed
by
knowing
Men
,
That
Buckingham
came
into
Spain
of
the
Spanish
Faction
,
and
returned
into
England
of
the
French
Faction
:
Carlile
came
into
Spain
of
the
French
Faction
,
and
returned
into
England
of
the
Spanish
:
thus
varying
the
Scene
by
fits
,
and
acting
their
parts
as
the
present
fancy
moved
them
.
The
Lord
Kensington
Captain
of
the
Guard
to
our
King
,
came
also
to
see
the
Prince
,
so
did
the
Earl
of
Denbigh
,
Edward
,
Son
and
Heir
to
the
now
Earl
of
Manchester
;
The
Viscount
Mandevill
,
the
Viscount
Rochford
,
and
divers
others
of
the
Nobility
;
And
the
Prince
was
so
circled
with
a
Splendid
Retinue
of
his
own
people
,
that
it
might
be
said
,
Spain's
Pallace
.
The
Spanish
strive
to
pervert
the
Prince
.
But
together
with
these
specious
Entertainments
there
were
underworking
Hopes
to
have
the
Prince
turn
Papist
,
for
(
in
intervenient
Discourses
)
Olivares
,
and
others
,
would
press
him
(
with
all
the
Arguments
the
Court
had
instructed
them
in
)
to
a
conversion
;
intimating
how
smooth
a
path
it
would
make
to
the
Infanta's
affections
;
for
when
he
,
that
was
to
be
Lord
of
her
Heart
and
the
best
friend
she
had
,
would
be
an
Enemy
to
her
Religion
,
it
could
be
but
a
great
Obstacle
to
her
Love
.
And
when
the
Danger
of
it
was
proposed
to
them
,
as
likely
to
bring
a
Rebellion
in
the
Nation
,
if
their
Prince
should
be
perverted
;
they
promised
to
assist
him
with
an
Army
against
such
rebellious
people
.
But
if
he
would
not
admit
of
a
present
,
and
suddain
alteration
publikely
,
yet
that
he
would
be
so
indulgent
when
the
Infanta
came
into
England
,
as
to
listen
to
her
in
Matters
of
Religion
,
which
the
Prince
promised
to
do
.
Nay
,
his
own
familiar
friend
Bristol
(
as
it
was
Articled
against
him
afterwards
by
Buckingham
)
did
strive
with
a
gentle
hand
to
allure
him
that
way
,
as
bringing
with
it
an
addition
to
the
Grandure
of
the
King
's
of
England
,
that
none
of
them
could
ever
do
great
things
,
that
were
not
of
that
Religion
.
Thus
was
the
Prince
beset
,
and
Time
ran
away
in
Discourses
:
The
Dispensation
being
purposely
delayed
;
for
some
at
that
time
in
the
Spanish
Court
,
said
it
was
come
,
and
sent
back
again
to
Rome
,
(
being
too
forward
,
and
active
)
that
it
might
have
more
weight
put
upon
it
,
and
then
it
would
not
make
so
much
haste
,
for
now
it
came
too
soon
to
dispatch
their
worke
.
For
the
subtily
considered
,
that
Time
and
continual
dropping
,
might
leave
those
impressions
upon
the
Prince's
spirit
,
that
Dispatches
cannot
effect
.
Therefore
they
made
new
Queries
,
and
clapt
new
Remora's
upon
the
Articles
,
that
being
tangled
in
Disputations
betwixt
England
and
Spain
;
and
in
controversies
of
Religion
betwixt
the
Prince
,
and
some
of
their
cunning
Sophisters
,
(
which
they
set
a
work
)
that
before
the
way
could
be
well
cleared
on
both
sides
,
their
Design
(
which
was
the
Prince's
Perversion
)
might
mature
and
ripen
.
For
the
Earl
of
Bristol
confessed
afterwards
,
That
it
was
a
general
received
Opinion
in
the
Spanish
Court
,
that
the
Prince
came
thither
with
intention
to
be
a
Roman
Catholike
;
And
Gondemar
pressed
Bristol
not
to
hinder
so
pious
a
work
,
assuring
him
,
they
had
the
Duke
of
Buckingham's
assistance
therein
.
So
doth
the
Pope
.
And
it
was
evident
enough
their
hopes
were
great
,
by
the
Pope's
letter
to
the
Bishop
of
Conchen
,
Inquisitor
general
in
Spain
:
Wherein
,
he
excites
him
,
not
to
slip
the
Opportunity
,
providence
had
put
into
his
hand
,
of
extending
his
Piety
to
the
outtermost
Nations
.
The
Prince
of
England
being
now
in
the
Court
of
Spain
,
that
glorious
Temple
(
as
it
were
)
that
hath
been
a
Bulwark
to
the
Pontifical
Authority
,
and
an
Academy
for
propogation
of
Religion
,
he
desires
he
may
not
stay
there
in
vain
,
but
that
some
of
the
impressions
of
the
Piety
,
of
so
many
Catholick
Kings
,
as
have
lived
there
,
may
be
imprinted
on
him
;
that
he
may
be
won
with
all
sweetness
,
as
many
of
his
noble
Ancestors
have
been
,
who
have
submitted
their
Crowned
heads
,
and
Imperiall
power
to
the
Roman
Obedience
.
And
to
his
glorious
Victory

of

the

that
must

,
and
all

,
to
use
the
best
strength
,
and

,
they
can
to
this

.
So
that

was
continually
laid
at

by
the
insinuating
Orations
of
cunning
Iesuits
;
the
fained
,

;
the

;
the
rare

admirable
Pictures
of
their
reputed
Saints
;
besides
many
other
painted
devices
,
and
subtle
Artifices
,
brooded
among
them
.
And
the
Pope
used
all
the
Rhetorick
of
his
Cabalistical
Consistory
,
and
Holy
Chair
,
to
charm
him
to
his
Obedience
,
as
may
be
seen
by
this
Letter
which
he
writ
to
him
himself
.
MOst
Noble
Prince
,
By
his
Letters
.
Health
and
Light
of
Divine
Grace
.
For
asmuch
as
Great
Britain
hath
always
been
fruitful
in
Vertues
,
and
Men
of
Merit
,
having
filled
the
one
and
the
other
World
with
the
Glory
of
Her
Renown
:
She
doth
also
very
often
attract
the
thoughts
of
the
Holy
Apostolical
Chair
,
to
the
consideration
of
her
praises
.
And
indeed
the
Church
was
but
then
in
her
Infancy
,
when
the
King
of
Kings
did
choose
her
for
his
Inheritance
,
and
so
affectionately
,
that
it
is
thought
the
Roman
Eagles
prevailed
not
so
much
as
the
Banner
of
the
Cross.
Besides
that
many
of
her
Kings
instructed
in
the
Knowledg
of
the
true
Salvation
,
have
preferred
the
Cross
before
the
Royal
Scepter
,
and
the
Discipline
of
Religion
before
Covetousness
,
leaving
Examples
of
Piety
to
other
Nations
,
and
to
the
Ages
yet
to
come
;
so
,
as
having
Merited
the
principal
and
chief
Places
of
Blessedness
in
Heaven
,
they
have
obtained
on
Earth
the
Triumphant
Ornaments
of
true
Holiness
.
And
although
now
the
State
of
the
English
Church
be
altered
,
yet
we
see
the
Court
of
Great
Britain
adorned
and
furnished
with
Moral
Vertues
,
which
might
serve
to
support
the
Charity
that
We
bear
unto
Her
,
and
be
an
Ornament
to
the
name
of
Christianity
;
if
withal
She
could
have
for
her
defence
and
Protection
,
the
Orthodox
and
Catholike
Truth
.
Wherefore
by
how
much
the
Glory
of
your
most
Noble
Father
,
and
the
apprehension
of
your
Royal
Disposition
,
delights
Us
,
with
so
much
more
Zeal
,
We
desire
that
the
Gates
of
the
Heavenly
Kingdom
,
might
be
opened
unto
you
,
and
that
you
might
purchase
to
your self
the
Love
of
the
Universal
Church
.
Moreover
,
it
being
Certain
that
Gregory
the
Great
of
most
blessed
Memory
,
hath
introduced
to
the
English
people
,
and
taught
their
Kings
,
the
law
of
the
Gospel
,
and
the
respect
to
Apostolical
Authority
;
We
as
inferior
to
him
in
Holiness
and
Virtue
.
but
equal
in
Name
and
Degree
of
Dignity
,
it
is
very
reasonable
that
We
following
his
blessed
Steps
,
should
endeavour
the
Salvation
of
those
Provinces
,
especially
at
this
time
,
when
your
Happy
Design
(
most
Noble
Prince
)
elevates
Us
to
the
Hope
of
an
extraordinary
advantage
.
And
as
you
have
taken
a
Iourney
into
Spain
to
the
Catholike
King
,
with
desire
to
allye
your
Self
to
the
House
of
Austria
,
so
We
do
commend
your
Design
,
and
indeed
do
testifie
openly
in
this
present
Business
,
That
you
are
he
that
takes
principal
Care
of
our
Prelacy
.
For
seeing
that
you
desire
to
take
in
Marriage
the
Daughter
of
Spain
,
We
may
easily
from
thence
conjecture
,
That
the
ancient
seeds
of
Christian
Piety
which
have
so
happily
flourished
in
the
Hearts
of
the
Kings
of
Great
Britain
;
May
(
God
prospering
them
)
revive
again
in
your
Soul
.
And
indeed
it
is
not
to
be
believed
,
that
he
that
loves
such
an
alliance
should
hate
the
Catholike
Religion
,
and
delight
to
oppress
the
Holy
Chair
.
To
that
purpose
We
have
commanded
to
make
continually
most
humble
Prayers
to
the
Father
of
Lights
,
That
he
would
be
pleased
to
put
you
as
a
fair
Flower
of
Christendom
,
and
the
onely
Hope
of
Great
Britain
,
in
possession
of
that
most
noble
Heritage
,
that
your
Ancestors
have
purchased
for
you
,
to
defend
the
Authority
of
the
Soveraign
High
Priest
,
and
to
sight
against
the
Monsters
of
Heresie
.
Remember
the
dayes
of
old
,
enquire
of
your
Fathers
,
and
they
will
tell
you
the
Way
that
leads
to
Heaven
,
and
what
way
Temporal
Princes
have
taken
to
gain
an
Eternal
Kingdom
.
Behold
the
Gates
of
Heaven
opened
,
the
most
holy
Kings
of
England
(
who
came
from
England
to
Rome
accompanied
with
Angels
)
did
come
to
Honour
,
and
do
Homage
to
the
Lord
of
Lords
and
to
the
Prince
of
the
Apostles
,
in
the
Apostolical
Chair
:
their
Actions
,
and
Examples
,
being
as
so
many
Voices
of
God
,
speaking
and
exhorting
you
to
follow
the
course
of
the
Lives
of
those
,
to
whose
Empire
you
shall
one
day
attain

This
Letter
of
the
Pope's
expresses
not
only
the
sleek
,
The
Pope's
cunning
.
and
smooth
waies
,
that
Soul-merchant
takes
to
purchase
his
Proselytes
,
but
the
end
he
proposes
to
himself
;
which
is
,
to
bring
them
under
the
Roman
Obedience
,
otherwise
whatsoever
they
do
or
profess
is
Heresie
.
And
to
build
up
the
Towers
of
this
great
Babel
,
the
name
of
the
most
High
God
is
brought
down
among
them
,
and
used
as
a
Master
Builder
.
Every
Profession
layes
that
name
as
a
Foundation
,
though
the
Superstructure
be
but
straw
and
stubble
of
Hypocrisie
,
which
a
whirl-wind
shall
scatter
,
and
the
time
is
coming
that
her
Lovers
shall
be
destroyed
,
and
fiery-cloven
tongues
shall
confound
their
Language
.
The
Prince
was
not
slack
in
answering
this
Letter
,
which
happily
he
might
think
would
quicken
the
Pope
to
dispatch
the
Dispensation
,
when
he
should
find
so
little
cause
for
Delayes
,
by
his
closing
so
nearly
with
him
.
Which
whether
out
of
Policy
or
Real
intention
cannot
be
asserted
,
but
the
Letter
was
thus
.
MOst
Holy
Father
,
The
Prince's
answer
.
I
received
the
Dispatch
from
your
Holiness
with
great
content
,
and
with
that
Respect
which
the
Piety
,
and
care
wherewith
your
Holiness
writes
,
doth
require
.
It
was
an
unspeakable
pleasure
to
me
to
read
the
Generous
Exploits
of
the
King
's
my
Predecessors
,
to
whose
Memory
Posterity
hath
not
given
those
praises
,
and
Elogies
of
Honour
that
were
due
to
them
.
I
do
believe
that
your
Holiness
hath
set
their
Example
before
my
Eyes
,
to
the
end
that
I
might
imitate
them
in
all
my
Actions
,
for
in
truth
they
have
often
exposed
their
Estates
,
and
Li●es
for
the
Exaltation
of
the
Holy
Chair
,
And
the
●ou●●ge
with
which
they
have
assaulted
the
Enemies
of
the
Cross
of
Iesus
Christ
hath
not
been
less
then
the
Care
and
thought
which
I
have
to
the
end
that
the
Peace
and
Intelligence
,
which
hath
hitherto
been
wanting
in
Christendom
,
might
be
bound
with
a
bond
of
true
concord
:
for
like
as
the
common
Enemy
of
Peace
,
watcheth
alwayes
to
put
Hatred
and
Dissention
between
Christian
Princes
,
so
I
believe
that
the
Glory
of
God
requires
that
we
should
endeavour
to
unite
them
.
And
I
do
not
esteem
it
a
greater
Honour
to
be
descended
from
so
great
Princes
.
then
to
imitate
them
in
the
Zeal
of
their
Piety
.
In
which
it
helps
me
very
much
to
have
known
the
Mind
and
Will
of
our
Thrice
Honoured
Lord
and
Father
,
and
the
Holy
Intentions
of
his
Catholick
Majesty
to
give
a
happy
Concurrence
to
so
laudable
a
Design
:
For
it
grieves
him
extreamly
,
to
see
the
great
Evil
that
grows
from
the
Division
of
Christian
Princes
,
which
the
Wisdom
of
your
Holiness
foresaw
,
when
it
judged
the
Marriage
,
which
you
pleased
to
design
,
between
the
Infanta
of
Spain
and
my
self
,
to
be
necessary
to
procure
so
great
a
good
;
For
't
is
very
certain
,
that
I
shall
never
be
so
extreamly
affectionate
to
any
thing
in
the
World
,
as
to
endeavour
allyance
with
a
Prince
that
hath
the
same
apprehension
of
the
true
Religion
with
my self
.
Therefore
I
intreat
your
Holiness
to
believe
that
I
have
been
alwayes
far
from
encouraging
Novelties
,
or
to
be
a
Partisan
of
any
faction
against
the
Catholick
,
Apostolick
,
Roman
Religion
.
But
on
the
contrary
,
I
have
sought
all
occassions
to
take
away
the
suspicion
that
might
rest
upon
me
;
and
that
I
will
imploy
my self
for
the
Time
to
come
,
to
have
but
one
Religion
,
and
one
Faith
,
seeing
that
we
all
believe
in
One
Jesus
Christ
.
Having
resolved
in
my self
to
spare
nothing
that
I
may
have
in
the
World
,
and
to
suffer
all
manner
of
Discommodities
,
even
to
the
hazarding
of
my
estate
and
life
,
for
a
thing
so
pleasing
unto
God
.
It
rests
only
that
I
thank
your
Holiness
for
the
permission
which
you
have
been
pleased
to
afford
me
,
and
that
I
may
pray
God
to
give
you
a
blessed
Health
here
,
and
his
Glory
,
after
so
much
travel
,
which
your
Holiness
takes
within
his
Church
.
Signed

STUART

A
fatal
Letter
.
It
may
well
be
a
Quere
,
Whether
this
profession
of
the
Prince
,
in
suffering
all
discommodities
,
even
to
the
Hazarding
of
Estate
and
Life
,
did
not
rest
upon
him
at
his
,
Death
?
as
may
be
said
hereafter
;
But
there
is
a
long
Race
for
him
to
run
,
before
he
come
to
that
End
.
It
seems
he
had
either
a
good
Will
to
write
this
Letter
,
or
a
bad
Council
to
indite
it
,
or
both
conjoyned
,
that
were
as
careful
to
please
the
Pope
as
they
were
hopeful
it
would
never
come
to
see
the
light
,
till
the
flame
of
it
would
be
too
visible
.
For
if
the
Prince
intended
Really
(
when
he
had
power
)
to
introduce
Popery
into
England
;
this
Letter
in
a
bloody
colour
too
apparently
would
have
been
discovered
;
and
if
his
intentions
were
formal
,
and
only
to
close
with
the
Pope
for
his
present
accommodation
,
how
black
would
every
Character
of
this
letter
look
to
the
Roman
Rubrick
,
and
what
a
Tincture
of
Scandal
would
it
leave
upon
the
true
Religion
?
for
Fallere
fallentem
,
may
be
a
fit
Motto
for
a
bad
man
,
not
a
good
Christian
;
so
that
whatsoever
his
Intentions
were
,
the
Act
was
evill
:
And
I
could
suspect
it
is
a
forged
Letter
,
but
that
it
hath
been
asserted
by
so
many
Authors
both
at
home
and
abroad
.
The
Pope
finding
by
this
letter
,
and
some
other
private
intimations
,
the
Princes
good
affections
to
the
Roman
See
,
thought
it
high
time
to
dally
no
longer
,
The
Dispensation
comes
to
Madrid
.
but
to
draw
him
altogether
with
the
Cords
of
Love
;
therefore
he
dispatches
the
Dispensation
to
his
Nuntio
at
Madrid
,
six
months
after
the
Prince's
arrival
there
,
with
a
little
Bob
at
the
Tail
of
it
,
yet
to
amuse
them
:
Which
was
,
That
the
King
of
Great
Britain
,
and
the
Prince
,
should
give
Caution
to
perform
what
was
stipulated
between
them
and
the
King
of
Spain
,
especially
in
those
Articles
which
were
in
favour
of
the
Roman
Catholicks
in
England
,
and
other
his
Majestie
's
Dominions
;
Requiring
at
least
,
some
Soveraign
Catholick
Prince
should
engage
for
them
by
oath
.
This
made
some
little
demur
;
for
being
sent
into
England
,
the
King
answered
,
That
he
could
give
no
other
Caution
but
his
own
,
and
the
Princes
Royal
Words
and
Oaths
,
Confirmed
by
his
Council
of
State
,
and
Exemplified
under
the
great
Seal
of
England
.
But
this
would
not
satisfie
.
Therefore
the
King
of
Spain
undertook
it
,
and
it
was
thought
a
Spanish
Device
,
That
by
undertaking
such
an
engagement
,
he
might
not
only
the
more
endear
himself
to
the
King
of
Great
Britain
,
and
to
the
Prince
his
Brother
,
but
have
a
more
colourable
pretext
to
make
War
against
England
,
if
the
Roman
Catholicks
there
had
not
full
satisfaction
and
freedom
according
to
the
Articles
;
and
the
King
of
Spain
knowing
or
assureing
himself
that
no
Catholick
Prince
would
take
such
an
Oath
,
offered
himself
to
satisfie
the
Pope
.
And
a
Committee
of
Ecclesiasticks
in
Spain
were
appointed
to
debate
the
Case
in
Relation
to
the
King's
conscience
,
whether
he
might
take
such
an
Oath
for
them
?
and
they
(
being
doubtless
resolved
on
it
before
)
concluded
Affirmatively
.
And
that
if
the
King
of
Great
Britain
,
and
Prince
should
fail
in
the
performance
of
these
Capitulations
,
the
King
of
Spain
might
save
his
Oath
,
by
vindicating
the
Breach
thereof
upon
them
with
his
Sword
.
And
now
this
Monster-difficulty
being
overcome
by
the
Spanish
Bravery
,
the
very
same
time
Articles
that
our
King
and
Prince
had
signed
(
as
are
before
related
)
were
sent
into
England
for
our
King
and
his
privy
Council
to
swear
to
,
and
there
was
not
a
Rub
left
for
either
party
to
stumble
at
.
But
whilst
these
things
were
in
motion
in
Spain
,
they
were
much
regretted
,
and
badly
resented
in
England
.
The
Spirit
almost
of
the
whole
Nation
being
averse
to
this
Union
;
which
made
many
vent
their
Passion
by
their
Pens
,
as
well
as
their
tongues
.
Amongst
the
rest
the
Archbishop
of
Canterbury
,
knowing
that
a
Toleration
was
to
be
admitted
(
though
he
stood
tottering
in
the
King's
Favour
,
and
had
the
Badg
of
a
Puritan
clapt
upon
him
)
thought
it
better
to
discharge
his
Conscience
,
though
he
hazarded
all
,
rather
than
be
silent
in
such
a
Cause
,
where
the
Glory
of
God
,
and
the
Good
of
the
Kingdom
were
so
higly
concerned
.
Therefore
he
writes
this
letter
to
the
King
:
May
it
please
your
Majesty
,
The
Archbishops
letter
to
the
King
against
a
Toleration
.
I
Have
been
too
long
silent
,
and
am
afraid
by
my
Silence
I
have
neglected
the
Duty
of
the
Place
it
hath
pleased
God
to
call
me
unto
,
and
your
Majesty
to
place
me
in
.
And
now
I
humbly
crave
leave
I
may
discharge
my
Conscience
towards
God
and
my
Duty
to
your
Majesty
:
And
therefore
I
beseech
your
Majesty
give
me
leave
freely
to
deliver
my self
,
and
then
let
your
Majesty
do
with
me
what
you
please
.
Your
Majesty
hath
propounded
a
Toleration
of
Religion
:
I
beseech
you
,
Sir
,
take
into
your
consideration
,
what
the
Act
is
,
next
what
the
consequence
may
be
.
By
your
Act
you
labour
to
set
up
that
most
Damnable
and
Heretical
Doctrine
of
the
Church
of
Rome
,
the
Whore
of
Babylon
.
How
Hateful
will
it
be
to
God
,
and
grievous
unto
your
good
Subjects
,
the
true
Professors
of
the
Gospel
;
that
your
Majesty
,
who
hath
often
disputed
,
and
learnedly
written
against
those
wicked
Heresies
,
should
now
shew
your self
a
Patron
of
those
Doctrines
,
which
your
Pen
hath
told
the
World
,
and
your
Conscience
tels
your Self
,
are
Superstitious
,
Idolatrous
,
and
Detestable
?
Add
hereunto
what
you
have
done
in
sending
the
Prince
into
Spain
,
without
the
consent
of
your
Council
,
the
Privity
and
Approbation
of
your
People
.
And
though
,
Sir
,
you
have
a
large
Interest
in
the
Prince
,
as
the
Son
of
your
Flesh
,
yet
hath
the
people
a
greater
,
as
the
Son
of
the
Kingdom
,
upon
whom
(
next
after
your
Majesty
)
their
Eyes
are
fixed
,
and
Welfare
depends
.
And
so
tenderly
is
his
going
apprehended
,
as
believe
it
,
Sir
,
however
his
return
may
be
safe
,
yet
the
drawers
of
him
to
that
Action
so
dangerous
to
himself
,
to
desperate
to
the
Kingdom
,
will
not
pass
away
unquestioned
,
and
unpunished
.
Besides
this
Toleration
which
you
endeavour
to
set
up
by
Proclamation
,
cannot
be
done
without
a
Parliament
,
unless
your
Majesty
would
let
your
Subjects
see
,
That
you
will
take
unto
your self
a
liberty
to
throw
down
the
Laws
of
the
Land
at
your
Pleasure
.
What
dreadful
Consequence
these
things
may
draw
after
them
,
I
beseech
your
Majesty
to
consider
.
And
above
all
,
lest
by
this
Toleration
,
and
discontinuance
of
the
true
profession
of
the
Gospel
,
whereby
God
hath
blessed
us
,
and
under
which
this
Kingdom
hath
for
many
years
flourished
,
your
Majesty
do
not
draw
upon
the
Kingdom
in
general
,
and
your Self
in
particular
,
God's
heavy
Wrath
and
Indignation
.
Thus
in
discharge
of
my
Duty
towards
God
,
to
your
Majesty
,
and
the
place
of
my
Calling
,
I
have
taken
humble
Boldness
to
deliver
my
Conscience
.
And
now
,
Sir
,
do
with
me
what
you
please
.
Thus
did
our
Solomon
in
his
latter
time
(
though
he
had
fought
with
the
Beasts
at
Ephesus
,
as
one
saith
of
him
)
incline
a
little
too
much
to
the
Beast
.
Yet
he
made
his
tale
so
good
to
the
Archbishop
of
Canterbury
(
what
reservations
soever
he
had
)
that
he
wrought
upon
the
good
old
man
(
afterwards
)
in
the
Conclusion
of
the
work
,
to
set
his
Hand
as
a
Witness
to
the
Articles
.
And
his
desires
were
so
heightned
to
the
Heats
of
Spain
,
Arguments
for
and
against
a
Toleration
.
(
which
boyl'd
him
to
such
a
Distemper
)
that
he
would
listen
to
nothing
,
and
almost
yield
to
any
thing
,
rather
than
not
to
enjoy
his
own
Humour
.
Divers
of
his
intimate
Council
affecting
Popery
,
were
not
slack
to
urge
him
to
a
Toleration
,
and
many
Arguments
were
used
inciting
to
it
:
As
that
Catholicks
were
the
King
's
best
and
most
peaceable
Subjects
,
the
Puritans
being
the
only
Sticklers
and
the
greatest
Disturbers
of
the
Royal
peace
,
trenching
too
boldly
upon
the
Prerogative
,
and
striving
to
lessen
the
Kingly
power
;
But
if
the
King
had
occasion
to
make
use
of
the
Catholicks
,
he
should
find
them
more
faithful
to
him
,
than
those
that
are
ever
contesting
with
him
,
And
why
should
not
Catholicks
with
as
much
safety
be
permitted
in
England
as
the
Protestants
are
in
France
?
That
their
Religion
was
full
of
Love
and
Charity
(
where
they
could
enjoy
it
with
freedom
)
and
where
Charity
layes
the
Foundation
,
the
upper
Building
must
needs
be
spiritual
,
But
these
Arguments
were
answered
,
and
many
reasons
alledged
against
them
,
proving
the
Nature
of
the
Protestant
Religion
to
be
Compatible
with
the
Nature
of
the
Politick
Laws
of
any
State
,
of
what
Religion
soever
;
Because
it
teacheth
that
the
Government
of
any
State
,
whether
Monarchial
or
Aristocratical
,
is
Supream
within
it self
,
and
not
subordinate
to
any
power
without
;
so
that
the
Knot
of
Allegiance
thereunto
is
so
firmly
tied
,
that
no
Humane
power
can
unloose
or
dissolve
it
.
Whereas
on
the
contrary
,
the
Roman
Religion
,
acknowledging
a
Supremacy
in
another
,
above
that
power
which
swayeth
the
State
,
whereof
they
are
Members
,
must
consequently
hold
,
that
one
stroke
of
that
Supreme
power
is
able
to
unsinew
,
and
cut
in
sunder
all
the
Bonds
which
ty
them
to
the
Subordinate
and
Dependent
Authority
.
And
therefore
can
ill
accord
with
the
Allegiance
,
which
Subjects
owe
to
a
Prince
of
their
own
Religion
,
which
makes
Papists
intolerable
in
a
Protestant
Common-wealth
.
For
what
Faith
can
a
Prince
or
People
expect
from
them
,
whose
Tenet
is
,
That
no
Faith
is
to
be
held
with
Hereticks
?
That
the
Protestants
in
France
had
merited
better
there
,
than
the
Papists
had
done
in
England
:
the
one
by
their
Loyalties
to
their
lawful
King
,
having
ransomed
that
Kingdom
with
their
Bloods
,
in
the
Pangs
of
her
desperate
Agonies
,
from
the
Yoak
of
an
Usurper
within
,
and
the
Tyranny
of
a
Forain
Scepter
without
;
The
other
seeking
to
write
their
Disloyalties
in
the
Heart-Blood
of
the
Princes
and
best
Subjects
of
this
Kingdom
.
That
the
Number
and
Quality
of
the
Professors
of
these
different
Religions
in
either
Kingdom
is
to
be
observed
.
An.
Reg.

1623.
For
in
France
the
Number
of
the
Protestants
were
so
great
,
that
a
Toleration
did
not
make
them
,
but
found
them
a
Considerable
Party
;
so
strong
,
as
they
could
not
have
been
suppressed
without
endangering
the
Kingdom
;
But
a
Toleration
in
England
would
not
find
,
but
form
the
Papists
to
be
a
considerable
party
,
(
witness
their
encrease
by
this
late
Connivency
)
a
thing
which
ought
mainly
to
be
avoided
.
For
the
distraction
of
a
State
into
several
powerfull
parties
,
is
alwaies
weakning
,
and
often
proveth
the
utter
ruine
thereof
.
The
Match
concluded
in
England
.
These
thing
were
laid
open
to
the
King
,
but
all
were
waved
by
the
King
of
Spain's
Offering
.
His
engagement
to
the
Pope
by
oath
,
That
he
and
the
Prince
his
son
should
observe
and
keep
the
Articles
stipulated
betwixt
them
,
did
exceedingly
affect
him
.
And
the
Articles
now
coming
to
close
up
all
,
they
were
ingrossed
,
The
Preamble
to
the
Articles
.
with
a
long
preamble
.
Declaring
to
all
the
World
the
much
desired
Union
betwixt
him
and
the
King
of
Spain
,
by
the
marriage
of
his
son
to
the
Infanta
Maria
,
sister
to
the
King
.
To
which
end
he
had
sent
his
Son
into
Spain
to
treat
and
conclude
the
match
;
together
with
George
Duke
of
Buckingham
,
Iohn
Earl
of
Bristol
,
Sir
Walter
Astone
,
and
Sir
Francis
Cottington
,
Baronets
,
Commissioners
on
his
part
for
the
said
Treaty
.
And
on
the
behalf
of
the
King
of
Spain
,
Iohn
de
Mendoza
and
Luna
,
Marquess
of

,
Didacus
Sarmiento
de
Acuna
Earl
of
Gondemar
,
and
Iohn
de

,
Secretary
to
the
Secret
Council
.
Which
Commissioners
for
both
parts
qualified
by
a
Dispensation
from
his
Holiness
,
after
long
and
deliberate
Dispute
in
so
serious
a

by

had
determined
and
concluded

followed
the

Articles

This
Train
of
Witnesses
are
set
down
to
shew
who
,
were
then
of
Our
King's
Council
,
though
some
of
them
set
their
hands
to
it
much
against
their
wills
;
and
swore
with
as
little
zeal
to
observe
and
keep
(
as
much
as
in
them
lay
)
all
the
aforesaid
Articles
.
Such
Power
have
Kings
over
mens
Reasons
and
Consciences
.
There
was
some
little
Contest
betwixt
our
King
and
the
King
of
Spains
Ambassadours
about
some
particular
Ceremonies
observed
in
swearing
of
these
Articles
.
For
our
King
having
written
,
and
spoken
against
the
Popes
Holiness
,
would
not
admit
him
to
be
so
styled
in
his
Oath
;
But
the
Ambassadours
refused
to
proceed
further
unless
that
Title
were
consented
unto
;
so
that
Our
King
(
affecting
ever
to
be
accounted
a
Peace-maker
)
though
he
where
Defender
of
the
Faith
,
was
forced
to
lay
by
his
Shield
,
(
admitting
him
to
be
holy
,
who
was
most
unholy
)
and
so
the
strife
ended
.
Some
other
little
things
were
stood
upon
by
the
Ambassadours
,
but
the
King's
Patience
surmounted
all
their
Demands
.
And
in
the
Close
of
the
Businesse
,
he
invited
the
Ambassadours
to
a
Royall
Feast
at
Whitehal
;
where
after
dinner
,
retiring
into
the
Council-Chamber
,
The
King
took
another
private
Oath
,
to
observe
certain
Articles
in
favour
of
Roman
Catholicks
,
for
a
free
exercise
of
their
Religion
in
all
his
Dominions
;
Wherein
he
protested
to
do
what
in
him
lay
,
that
the
Parliament
should
confirm
the
same
.
And
thus
was
the
great
Business
accomplished
,
Private
Articles
sworn
to
.
which
gave
Our
King
so
much
content
,
that
(
being
transported
with
an
assurance
of
the
Match
)
he
was
heard
to
say
,
Now
all
the
Devils
in
Hell
cannot
hinder
it
;
So
secure
was
he
of
it
in
his
own
Opinion
!
But
one
that
heard
him
,
said
to
others
standing
by
,
That
there
was
never
a
Devil
now
left
in
Hell
,
for
they
were
now
all
gone
into
Spain
to
make
up
the
Match
.
This
forwardness
of
the
Union
with
Spain
,
Jesuits
swarm
.
and
indulgence
to
Papists
,
made
Iesuits
and
Priests
swarm
in
every
corner
,
setting
up
their
subtile
Traps
to
catch
wavering
Spirits
.
And
they
could
not
hear
of
a
man
of
estate
that
was
sick
(
for
persons
of
Quality
were
only
aimed
at
)
but
they
would
tamper
with
his
weak
conscience
,
and
persuade
him
to
the
Charity
of
their
Religion
,
whereby
his
Soul
(
that
was
tainted
with
earthly
corruptions
,
and
must
needs
be
purged
by
Fire
,
before
it
can
come
to
God
)
should
escape
the
pains
of
Purgatory
;
or
if
it
went
thither
,
their
Prayers
could
redeem
them
thence
;
with
such
stuff
as
this
deceiving
many
poor
Soules
.
But
their
most
specious
jugling
Argument
(
which
did
catch
many
ignorant
persons
)
was
the
Visibility
of
their
Church
in
all
Ages
(
as
they
pretended
)
and
their
great
Question
,
Where
the
Protestant
Church
was
before
Luther
?
Among
the
rest
,
one
Edward
Buggs
Esquire
,
living
in
London
,
aged
seventy
years
,
and
an
old
professed
Protestant
,
was
seduced
by
them
in
his
Sickness
,
and
after
his
recovery
,
being
troubled
in
mind
,
at
his
request
and
desire
there
was
a
publick
conference
and
dispute
appointed
at
Sir
Humphrey
Lind's
House
,
Lind
being
a
friend
to
Buggs
,
Dispute
publickly
.
and
a
Gentleman
of
great
knowledge
,
and
integrity
,
who
was
able
to
grapple
with
the
Iesuits
himself
,
yet
he
modestly
desired
Doctor
White
,
and
Doctor
Featly
,
Protestants
,
to
encounter
with
Father
Fisher
and
Father
Sweet
,
Jesuits
.
Where
Featly
laid
their
jugling
tricks
at
their
Doores
,
protesting
to
acknowledg
himself
overcome
by
them
,
if
they
could
prove
out
of
any
good
Author
(
let
them
brag
what
they
would
of
the
Visibility
of
their
Church
in
all
ages
)
that
in
City
,
Parish
,
or
Hamlet
,
within
five
Hundred
years
next
after
Christ
,
there
was
any
visible
assembly
of
Christians
to
to
be
named
,
maintaining
,
or
defending
,
either
the
Council
of
Trent
in
general
,
or
these
Points
of
Popery

special
.
1.
That
there
is
a
Treasury
of
Saints
Merits

Satisfactions

disposing

are
not

receive
the
Sacrament
of
the

ought

That
Private
Masses

wherein
the
Priest
saith
,
Edite
&
bibite

hoc

,
and
yet
eateth
and
drinketh
himself

)
are
according
to

5.
That
the
Pope's
Pardons
are
requisite
or
useful
,
to
release
Souls
out
of
Purgatory
.
6.
That
the
effect
of
the
Sacrament
dependeth
upon
the
Intention
of
the
Minister
.
Here
Mr.
Sweet
interrupted
him
,
saying
,
These
were
Scholastical
Points
,
not
Fundamental
.
To
which
Doctor
White
replied
,
Those
things
which
are
defined
in
your
Council
of
Trent
,
are
to
you
matters
Fundamental
.
And
whatsoever
Article
denied
,
makes
a
Man
an
Heretick
,
is
Fundamental
.
But
the
denyal
of
any
of
these
,
make
a
Man
an
Heretick
.
Ergo
,
Every
one
of
these
Articles
is
Fundamental
.
To
which
Argument
,
nothing
being
answered
,
Doctor
Featly
proceeded
.
7.
That
extream
Unction
is
a
Sacrament
properly
so
called
.
8.
That
we
may
worship
God
by
an
Image
.
9.
That
the
Sacred
Host
ought
to
be
elevated
,
or
carried
in
solemn
Procession
.
10.
That
Infidels
,
and
impious
persons
,
yea
Rats
and
Mice
,
may
eat
the
Body
of
Christ
.
11.
That
all
Ecclesiastical
Power
dependeth
on
the
Pope
.
12.
That
he
cannot
err
in
matters
of
Faith
.
13.
That
he
hath
Power
to
Canonize
Saints
,
to
dispose
of
Kings
and
Kingdomes
at
his
pleasure
,
&c.
But
the
Iesuits
not
being
able
to
prove
that
any
of
these
things
were
in
practice
in
the
Primitive
Times
of
Christianity
(
but
that
they
wene
fobb'd
in
by
several
Popes
and
Councils
,
in
latter
times
,
to
serve
their
own
turns
)
waved
the
Argument
,
and
insisted
upon
other
particulars
,
not
material
to
the
Point
;
striving
to
confound
one
thing
with
another
(
as
their
manner
is
)
that
they
might
complicate
,
and
wrap
up
in
obscurity
,
all
that
was
spoken
:
Which
Mr.
Buggs
perceiving
,
rested
fully
satisfied
and
confirmed
in
the
Truth
.
But
thus
the
Iesuits
ranged
up
and
down
seeking
whom
they
might
devour
;
A
great
judgment
,
or
an
unfortunate
mishap
.
and
their
Insolency
being
greater
,
and
more
notorious
at
this
time
,
than
at
others
,
the
mischief
that
fell
to
them
in
this
Height
of
their
pride
and
greatness
,
is
very
remarkable
:
For
at
at
a
Sermon
in
Black-Friers
,
where
Father
Drurie
,
a
Iesuit
,
vented
his
pestilent
Doctrine
to
an
Auditory
of
near
three
Hundred
people
,
the
Floor
of
the
Chamber
(
being
an
upper
room
)
fell
down
,
and
killed
the
Preacher
,
and
almost
(
if
not
)
a
full
Hundred
of
his
Auditory
outright
,
maiming
and
bruising
most
of
the
rest
,
many
of
them
lying
a
long
time
under
the
Rubbish
,
crying
for
Help
,
and
with
much
difficulty
recovered
their
broken
Limbs
.
Thus
many
times
we
might
immediately
see
the
hand
of
God
(
who
is
the
Lord
of
Life
and
Death
)
though
through
wilful
stupidity
(
because
we
must
judge
modestly
)
we
look
upon
these
accidents
by
mediate
and
second
causes
,
thinking
an
old
house
can
destroy
so
many
lives
,
without
the
permission
of
that
supreme
Authority
that
orders
all
things
both
in
Heaven
,
and
in
Earth
.
The
Duke
of
Brunswick
this
Spring
(
being
healed
of
his
wounds
received
in
the
last
Battle
with
Mansfeldt
,
Brunswick
raises
an
Army
.
and
having
gotten
an
artificial
Arm
to
manage
his
Horse
,
which
he
could
do
with
a
great
deal
of
dexterity
)
what
by
his
own
interest
and
power
,
and
the
assistance
of
his
friends
(
being
but
a
younger
Brother
,
and
having
nothing
but
the
Bishoprick
of
Haverstat
for
his
portion
)
he
raised
a
great
Army
in
the
lower
parts
of
Germany
,
about
Brunswick
and
Munster
,
consisting
of
about
sixteen
thousand
foot
,
and
five
thousand
horse
,
every
way
compleatly
armed
,
and
accomplished
with
a
gallant
Train
of
Artillery
:
The
Horses
,
Wagons
,
and
Carriages
,
in
such
trim
and
suitable
Equipage
,
as
shewed
by
their
suitableness
in
furniture
,
they
had
not
been
patched
up
,
nor
hastily
hurried
together
.
His
Design
(
being
invited
thereto
)
was
to
joyn
with
the
Prince
of
Orange
,
to
be
revenged
of
the
Spaniard
for
the
loss
of
his
Arm
the
last
year
:
But
the
chief
motive
(
as
he
alwaies
pretended
)
was
his
respects
to
the
Queen
of
Bohemia
,
who
in
those
dayes
(
whether
out
of
pity
for
her
suffering
so
much
,
or
out
of
fear
that
Religion
would
yet
suffer
much
more
)
carried
a
great
stream
of
affection
towards
her
.

That
having
in
their
March
the
Enemie
at
their
Backs
,
if
the
Rear-guard
made
a
Halt
,
Thier
Order
in
Marching
.
the
Battail
should
do
the
same
▪
and
consequently
the
Van-guard
(
according
to
the
best
Discipline
)
attending
with
firm
foot
,
the
cause
of
the
Halt
,
that
they
may
be
ready
to
put
themselves
in
order
for
service
,
if
occasion
were
presented
:
The
Army
thus
coming
to
pass
any
Passage
,
while
the
Van-guard
did
advance
:
the
Battail
and
Rear-guard
should
make
a
stand
,
with
the
front
towards
the
Enemy
.
The
Van-guard
being
past
,
should
face
the
Passage
,
and
stay
for
the
Battail
,
which
being
past
also
should
do
the
same
for
the
Rear-guard
,
that
they
might
be
ready
upon
the
approach
of
an
Enemy
to
assist
one
another
.
With
this
Order
and
Direction
,
they
began
to
march
into
Westfalia
;
Brunswick
trusting
to
Stirem
,
Kniphuisen
,
and
Frenck
;
who
being
Natives
of
the
Country
,
gave
him
assurance
of
the
safe
Conduct
of
his
Army
,
by
wayes
short
and
commodious
.
And
he
commanded
,
especially
the
General
of
the
Horse
,
to
send
out
parties
of
Horse
every
way
,
that
he
might
have
intelligence
of
the
Enemie's
Motions
;
who
gave
him
assurance
that
the
Enemies
Army
was
not
within
thirty
English
Miles
,
when
by
other
hand
at
the
same
time
,
he
had
certain
notice
,
that
the
Enemy
was
within
three
English
Miles
with
his
whole
Power
.
This
miscarriage
made
Brunswick
hast
away
to
Newburgh
,
the
next
Town
,
where
resting
a
little
he
took
a
Resolution
to
march
all
night
,
to
recover
time
,
and
ground
again
;
that
Stirum's
negligence
had
made
him
lazily
lose
.
And
to
that
end
he
commanded
Kniphuisen
,
and
Count
Isenburg
,
to
make
the
Baggage
march
at
eleven
a
clock
at
Night
,
the
Cannon
,
at
Midnight
,
and
the
Army
two
hours
after
;
But
Brunswick
getting
up
at
three
a
clock
in
the
Morning
,
hoping
to
find
his
Commands
obeyed
,
and
the
Army
in
a
good
forwardness
of
advance
,
found
nothing
done
,
and
these
great
Officers
in
their
Beds
.
This
disobedience
of
his
Officers
troubled
Brunswick
much
,
but
he
was
constrained
to
Diligence
,
as
well
as
Patience
;
And
hastning
them
away
,
they
pretended
forwardness
,
but
made
it
eight
of
the
Clock
in
the
morning
,
before
the
Rear-guard
stirred
out
of
their
Quarters
.
The
General
of
the
Horse
falters
.
From
Newburgh
to
Statloo
Bridge
(
a
place
of
Security
)
was
but
fourteen
English
Miles
,
and
there
were
in
that
way
seven
passages
or
Straits
,
where
a
few
men
might
oppose
an
Army
.
The
Baggage
,
Cannon
,
and
Munition
,
(
except
six
pieces
with
Munition
,
that
marched
with
the
Rere-guard
)
had
past
them
all
,
and
the
Foot
three
of
them
without
disturbance
,
but
Count
Stirum
with
the
Horse
loitered
still
behind
at
Newburgh
,
which
caused
Brunswick
to
make
the
whole
Army
face
about
and
stay
for
the
Horse
;
sending
a
strict
Command
to
Stirum
with
all
speed
to
come
up
and
joyn
with
the
Foot
,
and
not
to
skirmish
with
the
Enemy
at
any
rate
.
But
he
stayed
so
long
that
the
Enemy
began
to
charge
him
in
the
Rere
,
before
he
advanced
to
the
third
Passage
,
So
that
he
sent
to
Brunswick
for
five
hundred
Musqueteers
to
amuse
the
Enemy
till
he
had
passed
the
third
Passage
with
his
Horse
.
The
Duke
sent
these
Musqueteers
according
to
Sirum's
desire
,
and
advancing
his
Army
forward
,
he
passed
the
fourth
Passage
,
and
there
made
the
Rere
of
his
foot
face
about
,
the
better
to
favour
and
receive
his
Horse
.
Which
having
done
,
he
speeds
back
towards
Stirum
to
see
how
the
Business
went
with
him
,
and
incountring
Kniphuisen
,
he
asked
him
what
the
Enemy
had
done
?
Who
answered
,
Nothing
,
all
is
well
.
But
Brunswick
going
forward
,
found
the
contrary
,
for
the
Enemy
had
made
a
great
slaughter
,
laying
almost
a
thousand
Horse
upon
the
Ground
.
This
perplexed
Brunswick
exceedingly
,
so
that
with
some
Passion
,
he
sent
a
Command
to
Stirum
to
advance
his
Horse
towards
the
Body
of
the
Army
,
who
had
stayed
three
hours
for
them
at
the
fourth
Passage
,
whither
the
Duke
returned
to
secure
the
same
,
planting
two
Peeces
of
Demi-cannon
at
the
Mouth
of
the
Passage
,
and
leaving
two
thousand
Musqueteers
to
guard
it
,
for
the
assistance
of
the
Horse
,
if
the
Enemy
should
come
to
charge
them
at
the
Entrance
;
and
so
he
marched
forward
with
the
rest
of
the
Army
.
But
Stirum
drew
the
Horse
into
a
Body
under
the
side
of
a
Wood
,
which
was
in
the
middle
of
a
spacious
plain
,
betwixt
the
two
Passages
,
and
that
brought
the
Enemy
to
a
stand
:
for
they
suspected
the
whole
Army
stood
in
Battalia
behind
that
Wood
,
and
therefore
did
not
advance
,
which
shewed
,
they
watched
only
for
advantages
.
And
Stirum
seeing
the
Enemie
at
a
stand
,
drew
his
Horse
towards
the
fourth
Passage
,
which
the
Enemy
observing
made
all
the
haste
after
that
could
be
,
to
pelt
them
in
the
Rere
,
but
the
Horse
passed
the
fourth
Passage
before
the
Enemy
came
up
.
So
doth
the
Sergeant
Major
General
.
Then
Brunswick
drew
off
his
Cannon
,
and
marched
away
to
the
fifth
Passage
,
leaving
Kniphuisen
(
who
undertook
it
voluntarily
)
with
two
thousand
Musqueteers
,
to
make
good
that
Passsage
,
which
was
of
that
advantage
,
that
half
the
men
might
have
done
it
,
and
two
Regiments
of
Horse
were
left
to
give
assistance
to
the
Foot
,
to
bring
them
off
when
they
should
retire
,
and
joyn
with
the
Army
.
But
the
Van-guard
of
Brunswick's
Army
had
scarce
entred
the
fifth
Passage
,
but
he
discovered
some
Musqueteers
running
towards
a
Wood
,
that
was
on
this
side
,
and
not
far
from
the
fourth
Passage
,
and
riding
back
to
see
whether
all
stood
firm
,
he
met
Kniphuisen
,
and
askt
him
if
the
Passage
was
made
good
?
Who
answered
,
Take
you
no
care
,
trust
me
.
But
presently
discovering
some
of
the
Officers
that
had
command
of
the
Musqueteers
running
towards
the
Army
,
he
took
a
more
lively
apprehension
that
the
Passage
was
lost
,
and
meeting
Kniphuisen
,
with
some
heat
,
told
him
he
had
betrayed
him
;
But
Kniphuisen
excused
himself
that
he
could
not
keep
it
against
an
Army
,
and
complained
that
the
Horse
had
abandoned
him
.
But
said
he
,
the
next
Passage
is
of
as
great
importance
as
the
last
,
and
I
will
undertake
to
keep
that
upon
forfeiture
of
my
Head
,
to
redeem
my
Credit
again
,
and
to
that
end
he
desired
an
entire
Regiment
of
Foot
,
which
the
Duke
granted
him
,
but
assured
him
he
should
answer
it
if
any
ill
succeeded
by
his
default
.
Whilest
the
Army
was
passing
the
fifth
Passage
,
the
Duke
sent
to
know
whether
the
Horse
placed
according
to
his
Direction
in
the
Rere
,
made
good
their
Station
,
and
he
had
intimation
,
that
the
Horse
were
retired
close
to
a
Wood
,
and
by
that
means
discovered
the
Foot
to
the
Enemy
.
And
the
Army
was
no
sooner
passed
the
fifth
Passage
,
but
Kniphuisen
quitted
it
to
the
Enemy
,
without
so
much
as
a
Musquet
shot
from
them
.
And
the
more
to
weaken
his
force
(
before
he
quitted
the
Passage
)
he
comes
to
the
Duke
,
and
tells
him
(
but
it
was
not
true
)
that
the
Enemy
with
thirty
Cornets
of
Horse
struck
towards
the
left
hand
,
to
cut
away
to
the
Baggage
,
to
possess
that
;
And
Brunswick
looking
about
,
perceived
within
a
little
Wood
not
far
off
a
Body
of
Horse
,
which
proved
to
be
the
Prince
of
Ouldenburgh
,
who
was
Colonel
of
a
Regiment
of
a
thousand
Horse
,
whom
he
sent
to
resist
the
Enemy
,
if
they
should
attempt
upon
the
Baggage
.
And
advancing
his
Army
to
the
sixth
Passage
,
he
passed
that
also
before
the
Enemy
came
to
it
;
but
here
was
Brunswick's
Error
in
trusting
Kniphuisen
the
third
time
,
which
was
only
as
he
said
to
redeem
his
former
faults
;
for
he
gave
the
keeping
of
this
sixth
Passage
to
him
also
,
which
he
delivered
to
the
Enemy
,
at
their
first
approach
as
he
did
the
others
;
And
drawing
the
Rere-guard
out
of
the
way
on
the
right
hand
,
(
contrary
to
Brunswick's
commands
)
and
the
General
of
the
Ordnance
striking
out
on
the
left
hand
,
with
his
Body
and
Cannon
;
and
Stirum
sheltring
himself
in
the
Woods
with
his
Horse
;
The
Enemy
advanced
freely
,
(
seeing
them
thus
scattered
)
and
charged
on
all
sides
with
his
whole
Power
.
But
little
resistance
being
made
(
the
General
Officers
leaving
the
Field
)
every
one
shifted
for
himself
:
Brunswick's
Army
defeated
.
Some
escaped
over
Statloo
Bridge
,
many
were
drowned
in
the
River
,
the
slaughter
,
and
ruin
was
great
,
so
was
the
Confusion
and
fear
.
Sir
Charles
Rich
being
with
Brunswick
in
this
disorderly
business
,
escaped
a
great
danger
,
for
in
their
flight
,
his
Horse
fell
into
a
Bogg
,
where
Brunswick
and
the
rest
left
him
sticking
;
But
being
a
Spritely
Horse
,
(
that
his
Brother
the
Earl
of
Warwick
had
given
him
)
with
much
labour
he
plunged
himself
out
,
and
saved
both
himself
,
and
his
Rider
.
The
Reliques
of
this
broken
Army
that
scaped
,
the
Author
saw
at
Eltem
on
the
Hill
,
in
Cleveland
,
and
this
Relation
was
made
by
the
Duke
of
Brunswick
to
Maurice
Prince
of
Orange
for
his
own
Vindication
.
And
from
a
French
Copy
that
the
Duke
gave
to
the
Earl
of
Essex
,
he
translated
it
then
into
English
that
some
of
our
Nation
there
might
partake
of
the
true
knowledge
of
his
Misfortunes
.
And
the
Duke
cited
his
chief
Officers
to
appear
before
Prince
Maurice
,
where
he
laid
this
Accusation
to
their
charge
;
but
either
the
Duke
had
no
power
over
them
(
being
in
a
strange
Country
)
or
no
proof
against
them
for
this
strange
Miscarriage
(
being
accounted
among
them
La
Fortane
de
la
Guerre
,
but
Chance
of
War
)
for
they
all
escaped
without
Punishment
.
And
some
years
after
Kniphuisen
was
thought
fit
in
the
Duke
of
Buckingham's
Voyage
to
the
Isle
of
Ree
,
to
be
a
field-Officer
in
the
English
Army
,
which
almost
(
if
not
altogether
)
thriv'd
as
ill
;
So
uncertain
is
the
true
State
of
intricate
Transactions
!
for
that
which
is
obvious
and
visible
may
be
believed
an
Error
;
but
secret
mischiefs
are
left
to
his
Discovery
,
who
only
knows
the
heart
.
The
condition
of
France
.
France
about
this
time
had
her
wounds
bound
up
,
and
stancht
the
bloody
Issue
,
by
the
Pacification
of
Montpelier
;
but
it
broke
out
again
at
Rochel
,
where
some
English
ships
did
the
King
of
France
service
,
pressed
thereto
by
the
Duke
of
Guise
,
Admiral
of
France
,
and
though
it
carried
a
bad
savour
then
,
that
they
should
fight
against
the
Protestants
,
being
forced
thereto
,
yet
it
was
not
so
enormous
,
and
dangerous
to
them
,
as
when
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
afterwards
,
did
force
the
Van-guard
,
a
prime
Ship
of
Our
King
's
,
and
six
other
gallant
Ships
,
out
of
the
English
hands
,
and
put
them
into
French
fingring
,
that
they
might
do
the
mischief
with
them
.
Which
Act
was
laid
upon
the
Duke's
Account
,
among
other
hainous
Crimes
by
him
committed
,
and
he
had
dearly
payed
for
it
,
if
the
Prince
his
Fellow-Traveller
(
in
the
first
year
of
whose
Reign
it
was
done
)
had
not
acquitted
him
.
But
in
their
intimate
and
secret
Counsels
in
France
it
was
debated
,
whether
it
were
not
better
to
pull
such
a
Goad
of
Hereticks
(
as
they
called
the
Protestants
)
out
of
the
side
of
the
Kingdome
,
that
stuck
there
,
to
their
continual
Vexation
and
trouble
,
rather
than
have
their
pain
perpetually
renewed
,
being
impossible
to
heal
the
Sore
,
but
by
such
an
extirpation
;
so
much
rancour
,
and
inveterate
Malice
sprung
up
in
the
Popish
Party
against
them
of
the
Religion
,
that
the
Animosity
of
it
extended
to
little
less
than
another
Massacre
.
And
though
Our
King
(
who
may
be
said
to
love
them
)
gave
them
no
countenance
(
whatsoever
his
Promises
were
)
otherwise
than
by
intreating
for
them
(
being
a
tickle
and
tender
point
(
as
he
thought
)
to
partake
with
Subjects
against
their
Prince
)
yet
God
〈◊〉
them
Deliverance
(
such
are
the
Dispensations
of
his
Providence
)
by
one
that
hated
their
Religion
,
as
much
,
if
not
more
,
than
the
French
.
For
the
King
of
Spain
(
doubling
his
Ambition
)
possest
himself
about
this
time
of
some
parts
of
the
Valtolin
,
thinking
to
bound
France
towards
Italie
(
the
Alpes
being
not
so
high
as
his
thoughts
)
as
the
Pyrenes
had
bounded
it
towards
Spain
;
And
the
French
Activity
being
loath
to
be
cooped
up
,
thought
it
better
to
endure
a
little
inconvenience
at
home
,
than
so
much
prejudice
abroad
,
and
therefore
to
oppose
Him
,
they
closed
with
the
Protestants
.
And
what
was
it
brought
them
in
Obedience
?
The
re-edifying
of
their
ruined
Temples
,
the
restoring
and
maintaining
their
banished
Ministers
,
and
Security
in
their
Religion
and
Consciences
.
So
that
it
was
not
their
Rebellion
that
was
cause
of
the
War
,
but
the
War
made
against
their
Religion
,
caused
it
to
be
called
a
Rebellion
.
Thus
when
all
other
means
failed
,
their
worst
enemies
(
though
much
against
their
wills
)
proved
to
be
their
best
Friends
.
The
Match
concluded
in
Spain
.
But
to
return
to
the
Spanish
Treaty
all
this
while
in
Agitation
.
As
soon
as
the
Articles
Our
King
had
sealed
,
and
sworn
to
observe
,
were
come
into
Spain
,
and
the
Prince
had
ratified
,
and
comfirmed
them
,
and
had
sworn
to
another
Article
there
,
wherein
he
ties
up
his
own
hands
,
and
gave
leave
to
Satan
,
and
all
his
complices
to
buffet
him
(
which
was
,
To
permit
at
all
times
,
that
any
should
freely
propose
to
him
,
the
Arguments
of
the
Catholick
Religion
,
without
giving
any
impediment
;
and
that
he
would
never
directly
,
nor
indirectly
permit
any
to
speak
to
the
Infanta
against
the
same
)
the
two
Kingdoms
of
England
and
Spain
(
as
it
were
)
shook
hands
to
the
Agreement
:
Preparations
were
made
in
England
to
entertain
the
Infanta
,
a
new
Church
built
up
at
Saint
Iames
the
Prince's
house
;
the
Foundation
stone
(
with
much
Ceremony
)
laid
by
Don
Carlos
a
Coloma
the
Spanish
Ambassadour
,
for
the
publick
exercise
of
her
Religion
;
Her
very
Shadows
are
courted
in
every
Corner
,
Painters
being
set
a
work
to
take
the
Height
and
Dimensions
of
this
new
Star
that
was
to
rise
in
the
North
,
before
it
appeared
.
Such
as
hoped
to
flourish
by
her
influence
,
grew
up
to
exuberancy
;
what
would
they
do
then
when
they
found
the
effects
of
it
?
Why
?
be
drowned
in
their
own
redundancy
:
For
the
Moderate
Spirit
did
foresee
what
bad
Omens
this
Apparition
did
threaten
.
On
the
other
side
,
in
Spain
the
Substance
is
as
much
courted
as
the
Shadow
is
here
,
with
the
Title
of
Princess
of
England
,
her
Maiden
Restraints
are
taken
off
,
and
she
may
come
abroad
to
publick
Meetings
,
where
now
their
Eyes
may
prattle
loving
Stories
;
though
the
great
Courtier
Olivares
,
gave
it
no
better
Title
,
than
,
The
Prince
watches
the
Infanta
as
a
Cat
doth
a
Mouse
;
too
gross
〈◊〉
Expression
for
a
Master
of
those
Ceremonies
.
And
in
fine
there
was
such
an
Union
betwixt
the
two
Crowns
,
that
it
might
well
be
said
Philip
and
Iacob
made
one
Holy-day
.
But
this
closing
betwixt
England
and
Spain
,
made
the
breach
the
wider
in
the
House
of
the
Palatine
;
The
Palatine
affairs
waved
.
the
Restitution
of
the
Palatinate
,
and
the
Electorate
,
to
the
Queen
of
Bohemia
,
and
her
Children
,
being
waved
in
the
Treaty
;
and
a
great
sum
of
Money
proposed
as
a
Dowry
,
which
was
also
lessen'd
after
the
first
Proposition
,
and
some
part
of
it
promised
to
be
sent
with
Her
in
Iewels
(
which
as
one
said
might
be
Counterfeit
as
the
rest
of
their
Actions
)
yet
Our
King
accepted
of
all
,
so
eager
was
He
and
greedy
of
the
Match
,
that
no
Obstacle
could
stand
in
his
way
,
which
he
did
not
remove
.
But
there
was
some
under-hand
promise
;
that
the
Infanta
among
the
Courte-Complements
,
should
work
that
feat
,
in
presenting
the
Restorative
of
that
Dignity
,
and
Country
,
for
a
break-fast
,
to
ingratiate
her Self
with
the
Prince
her
Husband
,
and
as
a
pawn
of
her
good
Will
and
Affection
to
the
English
Nation
:
And
these
Promises
with
the
Spanish
stamp
,
were
taken
in
England
for
current
Payment
,
so
that
all
things
tended
to
a
Conclusion
.
New
Resolutions
on
both
sides
.
But
time
in
Spain
came
too
swift
upon
them
,
they
were
willing
the
Infanta
should
winter
there
,
but
knew
not
well
how
to
delay
the
Prince
longer
.
And
as
they
were
in
this
plunge
,
ruminating
upon
,
and
striving
to
find
out
some
new
Remora
;
to
help
them
,
Pope
Gregory
the
fifteenth
(
that
had
granted
the
Dispensation
)
dies
;
and
then
their
Subtilties
flew
upon
that
accident
to
make-the
Dispensation
invalid
;
yet
with
a
Reserve
to
keep
up
our
Prince's
Spirit
that
it
should
be
no
hinderance
to
the
Match
;
for
the
new
Pope
would
instantly
do
it
;
if
not
,
it
should
be
dispatched
by
the
Dean
of
the
Cardinals
;
and
the
King
of
Spain
assured
the
Prince
,
That
if
he
would
stay
till
Christmas
the
Marriage
should
be
really
celebrated
then
.
These
delayes
coming
one
on
the
neck
of
another
,
and
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
having
taken
some
disgust
〈◊〉
Spain
,
presented
all
things
to
our
King
in
the
worst
habit
he
could
put
upon
them
;
For
there
had
been
some
jarrs
betwixt
him
,
and
Olivares
.
Two
great
Favourites
though
of
different
Kingdoms
,
could
not
well
squat
in
one
form
.
Olivares
hunted
Buckingham
so
close
that
he
had
almost
caught
him
in
his
own
Burrow
,
but
instead
of
his
Game
he
incountered
some
Vermin
(
which
darkness
could
not
distinguish
)
who
bit
him
shreudly
;
and
whether
it
were
by
this
Common
Hunt
I
know
not
,
but
I
am
sure
it
was
by
the
Common-Cry
,
that
he
was
so
displeased
with
the
Spanish
for
it
,
that
he
afterwards
much
inclined
to
the
French
.
I
acknowledge
the
Gravity
,
and
Dignity
of
History
,
should
not
appear
in
such
Metaphorical
Habiliments
,
but
that
we
now
live
in
an
Age
where
Truth
is
forced
to
shroud
her self
in
such
Attire
,
lest
she
should
have
imprinted
on
her
face
a
Mark
of
Malice
against
Greatness
;
which
if
it
be
not
ballanced
with
Goodness
and
Piety
,
is
but
an
empty
and
frothy
Title
.
Buckingham
angry
.
But
it
was
said
this
Tetrical
Humour
made
Buckingham
dislike
all
the
Spanish
proceedings
,
and
just
in
the
nick
when
it
was
on
him
,
the
Queen
of
Bohemia
,
by
a
private
message
,
gave
him
some
intimation
,
that
She
and
her
Children
were
to
be
thought
on
,
inviting
him
to
be
a
Witnesse
to
the
Christning
of
one
of
them
,
which
came
fit
to
his
acceptation
,
not
so
much
out
of
affection
to
the
one
Party
,
as
in
opposition
to
the
other
.
And
what
disrelished
with
him
,
gave
an
ill
Savour
to
Our
King
,
who
having
cause
enough
to
dislike
the
Spanish
delates
,
and
finding
the
Hearts
of
the
People
bent
against
the
Match
,
and
some
neer
him
,
as
the
Duke
of
Lenox
,
made
Duke
of
Richmond
when
Buckingham
had
his
Title
,
that
the
Scots
might
still
precede
the
English
;
and
the
Marquess
Hamilton
made
Earl
of
Cambridge
to
intitle
him
a
Peer
the
last
Parliament
,
a
man
of
a
gallant
,
and
stately
presence
;
one
whom
the
King
much
listened
to
,
and
others
having
as
little
affection
to
it
;
The
hopes
of
a
Daughter
of
France
left
to
give
life
yet
to
a
Royal
Race
,
did
bate
something
of
Our
King
's
keen
edge
;
so
that
he
wrote
to
Buckingham
,
That
he
could
not
expect
after
so
long
a
stay
in
Spain
,
and
so
little
done
,
that
they
had
any
cordial
intention
to
perfect
the
Treaty
,
and
therefore
conjured
him
to
bring
his
Son
back
with
all
speed
:
but
if
his
Sonnes
youthful
follies
should
tye
him
to
a
long
expectation
,
he
chargeth
him
by
his
allegiance
to
come
away
and
leave
him
there
.
This
letter
the
Duke
shewed
to
the
Prince
,
and
it
wrought
so
upon
him
,
that
he
took
a
suddain
resolution
to
go
home
.
The
Grandees
of
Spain
having
notice
thereof
,
The
Duke
and
Olivares
quartel
.
were
much
troubled
,
for
their
Design
was
to
detain
the
Prince
there
all
Winter
,
not
only
hoping
thereby
to
turn
him
to
their
Religion
,
but
to
marry
him
to
the
Infanta
,
that
there
might
have
been
a
Co-union
between
them
,
that
she
being
with
Child
before
the
Spring
,
they
might
keep
her
there
till
she
were
delivered
,
that
so
,
the
Child
might
be
bred
up
and
naturalized
a
Spaniard
,
both
in
affection
and
Religion
,
which
this
suddain
Resolution
hindring
,
it
somewhat
startled
them
.
Olivares
told
Buckingham
,
that
he
had
promised
the
Prince
should
admit
of
Communion
with
some
Iesuits
of
theirs
in
Matters
of
Religion
.
And
the
Duke
answered
,
there
had
been
some
already
with
him
,
but
the
Prince
(
he
said
)
was
so
well
setled
in
Religion
,
that
he
was
not
to
be
further
altered
.
Olivares
replied
,
You
gave
me
some
assurance
and
hope
of
the
Prince's
turning
Catholick
.
The
Duke
told
him
,
it
was
false
.
The
Conde
in
a
great
rage
broke
from
him
,
with
so
much
impatience
,
that
he
was
scarce
able
to
contain
himself
,
went
to
the
Prince
,
and
told
him
how
unworthily
-
Buckingham
had
served
him
;
And
after
his
complaints
to
him
he
found
out
the
Baron
Kensington
,
whom
he
looked
on
with
an
eye
of
good
respect
,
his
Civilities
and
Carriage
obliging
every
where
,
venting
his
passion
to
him
;
telling
him
that
Buckingham
had
given
him
the
Ly
,
and
that
there
was
nothing
a
man
of
Honour
could
be
more
sensible
of
.
That
it
bred
a
great
distraction
in
him
,
betwixt
his
affection
to
his
Master's
Honour
,
and
his
own
:
For
if
any
evil
did
redound
to
Buckingham
by
his
hand
,
(
being
a
Person
so
near
the
Prince
who
had
honoured
the
Court
of
Spain
with
his
presence
,
and
run
through
great
and
dangerous
hazards
,
out
of
affection
to
his
Master's
Sister
,
upon
whose
actions
now
all
the
Christian
World
are
gazing
)
it
would
reflect
upon
the
Honour
of
his
Master
,
and
when
his
own
Honour
comes
in
competition
with
his
Master's
,
the
least
must
give
way
to
the
greatest
;
therefore
he
desired
the
Lord
of
Kensington
to
tell
the
Duke
,
That
he
had
so
much
of
a
Gentleman
,
as
to
be
sensible
of
the
injury
,
and
so
much
Power
and
Courage
as
to
revenge
himself
,
but
rather
than
his
Master's
Honour
should
suffer
,
he
would
be
the
sufferer
.
The
Duke
sent
the
Conde
word
again
by
the
said
Lord
,
That
he
laid
a
thing
to
his
charge
that
would
not
admit
of
a
less
sharp
answer
;
for
when
his
Honour
comes
in
competition
with
the
Conde's
he
had
rather
that
should
suffer
than
his
own
.
His
Passion
was
quick
but
not
durable
,
hot
but
not
revengful
;
And
he
held
so
high
an
esteem
of
the
Conde
,
that
he
was
more
willing
to
venture
upon
his
Sword
than
his
Malice
.

had
disfurnished
,
and
made
bare
her
own
Neck
,
to
adorn
the
Breasts
of
Spain
.
The
Pirnce
presenting
his
Mistris
with
such
a
Neck-lace
of
Pearl
,
that
all
Spain
could
not
Parallel
:
Pearls
that
had
been
long
pluckt
from
their
Watry
Beds
,
and
had
left
few
fellows
there
.
For
the
Eastern
and
Western
Divers
throughout
the
Catholic
Empire
,
could
never
yet
find
the
like
.
But
these
upon
the
Breach
were
returned
again
,
though
it
be
now
indifferent
whether
the
French
or
the
Spanish
have
them
.
The
Duke
of
Buckingham
was
not
close
handed
in
distributing
his
Iewels
to
the
Beauties
of
Spain
,
though
his
farewel
was
private
,
his
Bounty
was
public
,
More
suitable
to
his
Masters
Honor
,
than
his
Own
;
which
the
Lord
Treasurer
Middlesex
found
,
and
repined
at
.
The
Prince
took
leave
of
the
Queen
of
Spain
and
the
Infanta
,
The
Prince
leaves
Madrid
.
prepared
for
it
,
in
their
greatest
Magnificence
,
attended
with
all
their
train
of
Grandees
and
Ladies
.
The
Queen
spoke
her
own
Adieu
in
French
,
which
the
Prince
returned
in
the
same
Language
.
But
the
Earl
of
Bristol
was
the
Medium
betwixt
the
Prince
and
his
Mistris
,
who
if
he
may
be
believed
,
set
her
Heart
to
make
Her self
Grateful
,
and
therefore
this
parting
could
not
be
acceptable
to
her
;
one
of
her
Arguments
being
,
If
the
Prince
loved
me
,
he
would
stay
for
me
;
but
now
the
Time
of
parting
approaching
,
those
Arguments
were
laid
aside
,
and
the
Superficial
Ornaments
of
public
Interview
,
like
a
Cloud
,
interposed
it self
betwixt
them
,
so
that
what
was
darkly
lodged
in
their
thoughts
,
could
only
find
light
by
the
Eyes
.
Their
Tongues
(
the
Common
Orator
)
could
tell
what
was
fit
to
say
,
when
there
were
so
many
by
to
hear
,
and
if
the
Eyes
had
learn'd
the
Language
of
the
Heart
,
they
quickly
forgot
it
,
because
they
never
met
again
to
practise
it
.

Here
the
Prince
being
feasted
sealed
the
Proxie
,
and
swore
to
perform
the
Marriage
as
aforesaid
;
And
the
day
of
Departure
being
come
,
there
was
a
Stagg
lodged
in
the
way
,
whose
Chace
gave
the
King
,
The
Prince
feasted
there
.
and
Prince
some
Recreation
.
The
Prince
was
attended
by
the
Lord
Kensington
,
and
the
Earl
of
Bristol
,
who
was
the
Prince's
Interpreter
;
the
King
of
Spain
,
(
by
intention
)
only
with
Olivares
,
and
the
Marquess
D'avila
;
Olivares
was
grand
Master
of
the
Horse
to
the
King
of
Spain
,
and
neerest
Attendant
to
his
Person
,
but
to
shew
the
Spanish
Civility
,
he
always
waited
on
the
Prince
,
and
the
Marquess
D'avila
his
brother-in-Law
attended
on
the
King
of
Spain
.
After
the
Ceremonies
of
the
Staggs
death
were
performed
,
the
King
and
Prince
with
their
Train
declining
into
a
little
Wood
adjoining
found
a
Table
spread
with
Variety
of
Meats
,
and
excellent
Wines
,
provided
for
them
,
which
entertained
them
,
as
well
with
wonder
how
it
came
there
,
as
with
Refreshment
,
after
the
Serenity
of
the
Air
,
and
their
exercise
,
had
quickened
their
appetites
:
concluding
Merrily
,
as
if
the
Stagg
had
been
in
the
Plot
,
and
had
yielded
himself
to
Death
purposely
there
,
because
the
Prince's
necessary
accommodations
were
so
neer
.
After
the
Repast
the
parting
Minute
approaching
,
to
perfect
all
,
they
gave
leave
to
the
exercise
of
Complements
.
The
King
expressing
extraordinary
Respects
to
the
Prince
,
setting
a
high
valuation
upon
his
Merit
,
telling
him
,
Nothing
in
the
World
could
more
oblige
him
,
than
the
confidence
he
had
of
him
,
to
put
himself
into
his
hands
,
being
unusual
with
Princes
:
But
he
that
valued
his
Honor
above
all
earthly
things
,
was
the
more
indeared
to
him
,
in
that
he
gave
him
,
by
this
access
,
an
opportunity
to
express
it
:
and
protested
,
The
King
's
&
Prince's
compliments
parting
.
That
he
earnestly
desired
a
neerer
conjunction
of
Brotherly
affection
with
him
,
for
the
more
intire
Unity
betwixt
them
.
The
Prince
repaying
his
Noble
expressions
with
the
like
Civilities
,
le
ts
him
know
,
how
Sensible
he
was
of
those
high
Favours
he
had
found
during
his
abode
in
his
Court
and
presence
;
which
had
set
such
an
estimation
upon
his
worth
,
that
he
knew
not
how
to
value
it
,
but
he
would
leave
a
Mediatrix
,
that
should
make
good
his
defects
,
if
he
would
do
him
the
honour
,
and
make
him
so
happy
,
as
to
preserve
him
in
the
good
opinion
of
her
,
his
most
fair
,
his
most
dear
Mistris
.
And
so
imbracing
each
other
they
parted
.
This
kind
Farewell
was
upon
the
twelvth
of
September
,
the
King
leaving
the
Prince
to
be
attended
to
the
Sea-side
,
by
a
numerous
train
of
Spanish
Courtiers
,
whereof
the
Principal
were
Cardinal
Zapata
,
the
Marquess
Aytone
,
the
Earl
of
Gondemar
,
the
Earl
of
Monterie
,
the
Earl
of
Baraias
,
who
was
Steward
of
the
King's
houshold
,
but
now
the
Manager
of
the
Prince's
Domestical
Affairs
.
These
Grandees
,
and
others
,
had
at
Saint
Andero
a
fair
opportunity
to
see
some
of
the
Navy
Royal
of
England
,
and
were
feasted
aboard
the
Prince's
Ship
:
But
at
their
return
towards
the
shore
,
The
Prince
in
danger
by
a
Tempest
.
the
Prince
being
with
them
in
the
Barge
,
a
Tempest
overtook
them
with
that
Fury
,
that
they
could
neither
fetch
the
Land
,
nor
make
to
the
Ships
again
,
and
night
and
darkness
joining
with
the
Storm
,
the
Rowers
fainting
with
labour
,
because
they
thought
themselves
at
the
end
of
their
Work
,
their
horror
and
fear
,
almost
heightned
to
Despair
;
In
this
Calamity
yeilding
themselves
to
the
Mercy
of
the
Seas
,
they
spied
a
light
from
a
Ship
,
neer
which
the
wind
had
driven
them
,
that
gave
new
life
to
Hope
,
and
plucking
up
their
Spirits
to
fetch
that
Ship
,
with
the
danger
of
being
broken
to
peeces
by
the
Ships
side
,
at
last
they
got
aboard
.
This
cooled
the
heat
of
their
Ceremonies
so
much
,
so
that
when
the
Tempest
was
over
,
they
parted
.
And
the
Prince
arrived
safely
at
Portsmouth
,
upon
the
fifth
of
October
following
,
and
the
next
day
at
London
,
where
the
Peoples
joy
,
elevated
above
Bonfire-expressions
,
might
teach
misguided
Princes
,
that
LOVE
is
the
firmest
foundation
of
security
,
and
Happiness
.
A
demur
upon
the
espousals
.
When
the
Prince
,
and
Buckingham
,
met
at
Saint
Andero
,
the
Spanish
entertainments
did
not
take
them
off
from
minding
their
Business
:
The
Duke
had
time
in
his
Recess
to
mature
his
Conceptions
;
And
whether
his
adverseness
to
the
Spanish
in
affection
wrought
upon
the
Prince
,
or
whether
the
Prince's
affection
,
that
was
wrought
upon
in
the
Spanish
Court
,
lost
the
Vigor
,
and
Virtue
,
by
losing
the
Object
,
or
whether
the
united
Operations
of
both
,
cannot
be
determined
:
But
one
Clark
a
Creature
of
the
Dukes
,
was
posted
back
to
Madrid
to
the
Earl
of
Bristol
,
to
command
him
not
to
deliver
the
Procuration
for
the
Espousals
(
which
the
Prince
had
sealed
,
and
sworn
to
perform
)
till
he
had
further
Order
from
England
;
pretending
the
Infanta
might
after
the
Espousals
betake
her self
to
a
Cloister
,
and
defraud
him
of
a
Wife
.
Bristol
was
much
troubled
at
this
Restriction
,
That
a
public
Act
of
such
Eminency
,
betwixt
two
such
great
Princes
,
highly
obliging
,
should
be
smothered
up
by
a
private
Command
from
one
of
the
Parties
,
that
had
not
power
to
do
it
,
having
,
in
true
Justice
,
tyed
up
his
own
hands
,
and
when
the
Dishonour
of
it
would
so
much
reflect
upon
the
other
Party
;
and
therefore
he
resolved
(
notwithstanding
the
Prince's
command
)
if
the
Dispensation
came
,
to
make
the
Espousals
within
ten
days
according
to
the
agreement
:
And
he
would
bear
himself
up
,
from
the
authority
he
had
under
the
great
Seal
of
England
to
perfect
this
Work
,
if
he
had
not
within
the
limited
time
a
Command
from
Our
King
to
the
contrary
.
CHARLES
BY
THE
GRACE
OF
GOD
PRINce
of
Wales
,
Duke
of
Cornwell
,
etc.
The
Duke
being
jealous
of
Bristol
,
from
some
particular
Discontents
,
and
ill
Resentments
betwixt
them
,
and
the
Prince
,
fearing
he
would
be
too
forward
in
the
Espousals
,
assoon
as
they
landed
in
England
posted
towards
the
King
(
who
was
then
at
Roiston
)
where
they
gave
him
a
fair
and
plausible
Narration
of
their
Proceedings
,
The
Prince
comes
to
Court
cold
in
his
Spanish
affections
.
laying
the
load
upon
the
Spanish
Delaies
,
and
Bristol's
miscarriages
.
Which
the
King
as
a
Father
to
his
Son
,
and
as
a
friend
to
his
Favourite
,
indulged
to
,
taking
their
Account
without
examination
as
good
and
just
payment
.
And
his
good
Brother
of
Spain
must
now
be
dallied
with
by
Talion
Law
;
not
falling
off
in
a
direct
line
,
but
obliquely
,
that
the
King
might
thereby
measure
out
to
himself
a
way
to
his
Ends.
And
these
two
great
Opposites
to
Spain
,
the
Prince
and
Duke
,
must
prepare
it
,
by
closing
with
those
of
the
Council
about
the
King
,
and
others
of
the
Nobility
,
whose
judgment
,
not
prejudice
,
made
them
averse
to
the
Spanish
Superciliousness
,
cementing
their
Power
with
that
strength
that
a
Parliament
must
be
called
,
and
the
People
consulted
with
;
That
they
discovering
to
the
King
the
fraudulent
proceedings
of
the
Spaniard
,
the
King's
Integrity
and
Justice
in
breaking
the
Treaty
might
the
more
appear
to
the
People
,
and
by
that
means
they
should
be
mounted
upon
the
Wings
of
the
Peoples
affections
,
as
Enemies
to
that
which
was
so
contrary
to
them
.
The
News
of
a
Parliament
to
break
the
Spanish
match
was
quickly
carried
about
,
and
according
to
their
thoughts
,
it
took
much
with
the
People
,
and
gained
them
much
respect
and
Honour
.
But
the
first
thing
they
did
was
to
procure
an
absolute
Command
from
the
King
to
the
Earl
of
Bristol
,
to
suspend
the
delivery
of
the
Proxie
till
Christmas
,
though
the
Dispensation
came
,
which
they
effected
,
and
sent
away
with
all
speed
.
In
which
Letter
,
Bristol
had
instructions
to
demand
the
Restitution
of
the
Pala●inate
and
Electoral
Dignity
,
which
were
both
waved
and
neglected
in
the
Conclusion
of
the
Treaty
;
but
now
are
set
a
foot
again
,
to
let
the
King
of
Spain
see
the
Edge
of
their
Eargerness
was
taken
off
.
For
(
saith
the
Letter
)
It
would
be
a
great
disproportion
for
me
to
receive
one
Daughter
with
joy
,
and
contentment
,
and
leave
another
in
tears
and
sighs
.
But
Bristol's
power
of
deferring
the
Espousals
till
Christmas
,
was
to
be
reserved
to
himself
,
Preparation
in
Spain
for
the
Marriage
.
and
not
made
publick
,
till
the
Dispensation
should
come
to
discover
it
.
And
there
was
a
Clause
in
the
Procuration
left
by
the
Prince
,
that
the
Power
of
that
should
be
in
force
but
till
Christmas
,
and
then
to
expire
;
so
that
the
Execution
of
it
was
to
be
respited
till
it
were
altogether
invalid
.
And
the
Spaniard
for
his
greater
affront
must
make
all
Provision
ready
,
for
accomplishing
so
glorious
a
work
,
that
all
the
Eyes
of
the
Christian
World
looked
upon
either
with
dislike
or
affection
.
The
King
of
Spain
(
to
be
his
own
free
Trumpet
)
sending
into
England
with
the
Prince
,
Don
Mendosa
de
Alcorcana
,
to
our
King
to
congratulate
the
Princes
happy
Voyage
into
Spain
,
and
his
safe
return
into
England
;
And
from
thence
he
had
instructions
to
go
into
Flanders
,
Germany
,
and
Italy
,
to
make
known
to
all
Princes
,
and
Potentates
,
Allies
to
the
King
of
Spain
,
how
neer
the
Treaty
of
Marriage
(
betwixt
the
Prince
of
England
,
and
the
Infanta
of
Spain
)
was
to
be
consummated
.
And
the
Polonian
Ambassadour
at
Madrid
,
that
solicited
to
have
the
Infanta
for
the
Prince
of
Poland
,
when
he
saw
such
preparations
for
the
Match
with
England
,
fainted
in
his
Hopes
,
and
returned
home
.
For
as
soon
as
the
Dispensation
came
from
the
new
Pope
(
which
was
in
the
Beginning
of
December
)
Bonefires
were
made
throughout
all
Spain
,
for
joy
,
and
the
great
Ordnance
every
where
thundred
out
the
noise
of
it
.
The
ninth
of
the
month
was
prefixt
for
the
Mariage
day
,
a
Tarras
being
erected
betwixt
the
Court
,
and
the
next
Church
,
almost
a
quarter
of
a
mile
in
length
,
covered
with
Tapestry
,
for
the
more
magnificence
,
and
all
things
appointed
in
the
highest
State
for
so
great
a
Solemnity
.
Presents
were
providing
in
the
Court
of
Spain
for
Our
King
and
Prince
;
the
Infantas
family
(
to
take
into
England
)
was
setled
,
and
established
;
She
had
used
her
best
skill
among
the
Sweets
of
Spain
,
as
one
of
the
Principal
of
them
,
to
cloth
her
Lord
and
Husband
with
some
suits
of
perfumed
Amber
leather
,
some
imbroidered
with
Pearl
,
and
some
with
gold
;
she
had
practiced
long
the
English
tongue
to
make
it
natural
,
by
the
help
of
her
two
Iesuit
Tutors
,
Wadsworth
and
Boniface
,
and
began
to
draw
the
letters
which
she
intended
to
have
written
,
the
day
of
her
Espousals
,
to
the
Prince
her
Husband
,
and
the
King
her
Father-in-law
;
Her
journeyinto
England
being
resolved
on
about
the
Beginning
of
March
.
In
this
State
and
perfection
were
the
affairs
of
Spain
,
Spanish
delaies
retaliated
.
when
Our
King's
commands
like
a
Cloud
overshadowed
the
Brightness
of
them
.
For
Bristol
had
now
Order
to
declare
positively
to
the
King
of
Spain
,
that
without
the
Restitution
of
the
Palatinate
and
the
Electoral
Dignity
,
the
Treaty
should
proceed
no
further
.
Four
Messengers
,
viz.
Mr.
Killigrew
,
Gresly
,
Wood
,
and
Davies
,
followed
each
other
at
the
heels
,
which
raised
such
a
dust
of
Discontentment
among
the
people
at
Madrid
,
that
as
some
report
,
they
wished
they
had
broken
their
necks
by
the
way
;
so
highly
were
the
Commonalty
of
Spain
affected
with
the
Match
!
And
if
they
felt
the
Influence
of
this
cloudy
Message
,
what
did
the
Lady
Infanta
,
and
the
King
do
?
The
one
to
lose
her
Lover
,
the
other
to
lose
his
Honour
.
She
whose
Heart
was
affected
.
and
He
who
found
himself
affronted
.
But
his
answer
to
Bristol
,
was
,
The
Palatinate
was
none
of
his
to
give
,
and
the
Electorate
was
in
the
Power
of
another
;
but
if
the
Emperor
,
and
the
Duke
of
Bavaria
,
would
not
yield
to
reason
,
he
would
Arm
himself
on
our
King's
part
against
them
.
But
this
would
not
satisfie
,
fair
Promises
having
now
lost
their
Virtue
;
and
the
King
of
Spain
discerning
a
Breach
towards
,
by
this
Various
Motion
,
sent
to
the
Earl
of
Bristol
to
demand
no
more
Audience
of
him
,
to
deliver
no
more
Letters
to
the
Infanta
,
and
gave
command
that
none
should
call
her
hereafter
Princess
of
England
.
This
was
the
end
of
seven
years
Treaty
.
Wherein
the
King
of
England
,
a
King
of
Peace
,
in
spight
of
all
the
Spanish
Armadoes
,
got
the
Victory
,
and
Spain
for
many
years
did
not
receive
so
great
an
overthrow
.
Yet
they
were
paid
in
their
own
Coin
:
For
at
the
first
,
and
in
the
highest
Progress
of
the
Treaty
,
when
Our
King
was
so
eager
for
the
Match
,
in
all
likelyhood
they
never
intended
it
;
But
the
Prince's
Presence
gaining
much
with
both
Sexes
,
his
Journey
into
Spain
being
esteemed
among
them
so
glorious
an
action
,
and
the
hopes
they
had
now
by
this
Marriage
to
propagate
the
Catholick
Cause
;
finding
the
Prince
,
as
they
thought
,
something
inclined
that
way
,
better
digested
their
first
intentions
,
and
brought
it
to
the
state
from
whence
it
declined
.
The
Duke
of
Buckingham
,
Thoughts
of
a
Match
with
France
.
by
the
insinuation
of
a
long
converse
,
having
brought
the
Prince
up
to
his
own
Humor
,
taught
him
to
look
back
to
the
Beauty
he
had
seen
in
France
,
which
was
neerer
to
him
,
that
he
might
remember
the
Spanish
no
more
,
now
esloigned
from
him
.
But
the
Treaty
with
Spain
must
be
first
dissolved
,
to
give
a
tincture
of
Honor
to
a
proceeding
with
the
other
,
and
nothing
but
a
Parliament
shall
do
that
,
which
th●y
had
fore-determined
.
For
a
Parliament
taking
away
the
cause
,
which
was
a
Treaty
of
Peace
,
A
Parliament
Summoned
.
were
best
able
to
make
good
the
effect
,
which
would
be
a
War
that
must
follow
it
.
Therefore
a
Parliament
was
summoned
to
meet
the
12
th
of
February
,
but
a
sad
accident
intervened
which
made
it
to
be
deferred
for
some
few
daies
.
That
morning
the
Parliament
was
to
begin
,
The
Duke
of
Richmond
dies
suddenly
.
the
King
missed
the
Duke
of
Richmond's
attendance
,
who
being
a
constant
observer
of
him
at
all
times
,
the
King
,
as
it
were
,
wanted
one
of
his
Limbs
to
support
the
Grandure
of
Majesty
,
at
the
first
solemn
meeting
of
a
Parliament
,
and
calling
for
him
with
earnestness
,
a
Messenger
was
dispatched
to
his
Lodgings
in
Hast
,
where
the
King's
Commands
,
and
the
Messenger
Importunity
,
made
the
Dutchess
his
wife
,
somewhat
unwillingly
,
go
to
the
Duke's
Bed-side
to
awake
him
,
who
drawing
the
Curtain
found
him
dead
in
his
Bed
.
The
suddenness
of
the
affright
struck
her
with
so
much
Consternation
,
that
she
was
scarce
sensible
of
the
Horror
of
it
,
and
it
was
carried
with
that
violence
to
the
King
,
that
he
would
not
adorn
himself
that
day
to
ride
in
his
Glories
to
the
Parliament
,
but
put
it
off
to
the
nineteenth
of
February
following
,
dedicating
some
part
of
that
time
to
the
Memory
of
his
dead
Servant
,
who
might
serve
as
a
fore-runner
to
the
King
,
and
an
Emblem
to
all
his
People
,
That
in
the
dark
caverns
of
Man's
Body
,
Death
often
lurkes
,
which
no
Humane
Prudence
,
or
Providence
,
is
able
to
discover
:
For
the
Dutchess
to
some
of
her
intimates
confessed
afterwards
,
that
She
found
the
effects
of
his
full
Veines
that
night
that
he
was
found
dead
the
next
Morning
.
The
portraiture
of
the
illustreous
Princesse
Frances
Duchess
of
Richmond
and
Lenox
daughter
of
Thomas
LD.
Howard
of
Bindon
sonne
of
Thomas
Duke
of
Norfok.
whose
mother
was
Elisabeth
daughter
of
Edward
Duke
of
Buckingham
Anno
1623.
When
She
was
Countess
of
Hertford
,
and
found
admirers
about
her
,
She
would
often
discourse
of
her
two
Grand-Fathers
,
the
Dukes
of
Norfolk
and
Buckingham
;
recounting
the
time
since
one
of
her
Grand-Fathers
did
this
,
the
other
did
that
:
But
if
the
Earl
her
Husband
came
in
presence
,
she
would
quickly
desist
;
for
when
he
found
her
in
those
Exaltations
,
to
take
her
down
,
he
would
say
,
Frank
,
Frank
,
How
long
is
it
since
thou
wert
Married
to
Prannel
?
which
would
damp
the
Wings
of
her
Spirit
,
and
make
her
look
after
her
feet
,
as
well
as
gawdy
Plumes
.
One
Little
Vanity
of
this
great
Dutchess
(
with
your
Patience
)
may
yet
croud
in
this
Story
;
She
was
a
Woman
greedy
of
Fame
,
and
loved
to
keep
great
State
with
little
Cost
:
For
being
much
visited
by
all
the
Great
ones
,
Of
her
Visitants
.
she
had
her
formality
of
Officers
,
and
Gentlemen
,
that
gave
attendance
,
and
this
advantage
that
none
ever
eat
with
her
;
Yet
all
the
Tables
in
the
Hall
were
spread
,
as
if
there
had
been
Meat
,
and
men
to
furnish
them
;
but
before
eating
time
(
the
house
being
voided
)
the
Linnen
returned
into
their
folds
again
,
and
all
her
people
grased
on
some
few
dishes
.
Yet
whether
her
Actions
came
into
Fames
fingring
,
her
Gifts
were
suitable
to
the
greatness
of
her
Mind
.
For
the
Queen
of
Bohemia
(
to
the
Christning
of
whose
Child
she
was
a
Witness
)
had
some
taste
of
them
.
And
being
blowing
up
by
Admiration
for
this
Bounty
,
either
by
her
own
design
to
magnifie
her
Merit
,
or
by
others
in
Mockery
to
magnifie
her
Vanity
,
huge
Inventories
of
Massie
Plate
went
up
and
down
,
from
hand
to
hand
,
that
she
had
given
that
Queen
,
and
most
believed
it
;
yet
they
were
but
Paper
presents
,
those
Inventories
had
an
non
est
inventus
at
the
Hague
,
they
saw
the
Shell
,
the
Inventory
,
but
never
found
the
Kernel
,
the
Plate
.
Such
difference
there
is
betwixt
solid
worth
,
and
Airy-paper-Greatness
.
And
it
is
hoped
these
sleight
intermixtures
,
will
be
no
great
transgression
,
because
long
serious
things
do
dull
the
Fancy
.
The
King
having
digested
his
sudain
loss
of
the
Duke
of
Richmond
,
and
fitted
himself
to
make
his
mind
known
to
his
people
,
in
Parliament
;
he
went
to
the
House
the
nineteenth
,
as
is
said
,
and
opened
himself
to
them
to
this
effect
.
The
King's
Speech
to
the
Parliament
.
To
testifie
to
the
World
how
far
my
mind
hath
been
from
esohewing
to
assemble
a
Parliament
,
and
how
willing
I
have
been
upon
all
Occasions
to
have
the
advice
of
my
people
.
I
have
at
this
present
called
you
,
to
approve
unto
you
the
earnest
desire
I
have
ever
had
,
and
still
have
,
to
deserve
the
love
of
my
people
,
by
improving
your
trust
,
and
communicating
unto
you
a
Matter
of
as
great
Consequence
as
ever
King
imparted
to
his
people
,
to
have
their
advice
and
Counsel
in
.
I
shall
say
unto
you
as
Christ
said
to
the
Church
,
I
am
your
Husband
,
and
you
are
my
Spouse
.
And
as
it
is
the
Part
of
a
good
Husband
to
procure
,
and
maintain
the
love
of
his
wife
;
which
he
usually
doth
by
often
visiting
her
,
and
upon
extraordinary
Occasions
communicating
the
secrets
of
his
affairs
unto
her
,
and
by
all
gentle
and
affable
wayes
to
gain
her
Love
:
So
in
the
administration
of
Government
,
I
desire
to
carry
my self
towards
my
People
.
There
are
two
wayes
by
which
a
King
may
shew
his
love
to
his
People
.
One
is
,
by
a
constant
administration
of
Iustice
,
according
to
the
Laws
established
;
the
other
is
,
by
communicating
himself
to
his
People
,
in
their
Representative
,
the
Parliament
.
For
the
first
,
I
know
there
's
no
particular
Man
of
you
that
hath
not
injoyed
the
Blessing
and
Benefit
of
it
;
which
I
will
say
nothing
of
,
because
you
have
been
all
Witness
of
it
;
for
who
hath
not
found
the
fruits
of
it
?
If
he
considers
the
Peace
which
my
Kingdomes
injoy
,
in
the
midst
of
the
Miseries
our
Neighbours
are
afflicted
with
.
And
though
I
cannot
say
my
Government
hath
been
without
Error
,
yet
this
I
can
truly
say
,
and
will
avouch
it
before
God
,
and
his
Angels
,
That
never
King
governed
with
a
more
pure
sincerity
,
and
uncorrupt
Heart
,
than
I
have
done
,
far
from
all
intention
,
and
meaning
of
the
least
Error
,
or
imperfection
in
my
Reign
.
I
have
assembled
you
at
this
time
to
perform
the
other
part
,
which
is
duely
to
impart
unto
you
,
a
Secret
,
and
a
Matter
of
as
great
importance
as
can
to
be
to
my
Estate
,
and
the
Estate
,
of
my
Children
;
I
crave
your
best
,
and
safest
advice
,
and
Counsel
,
as
the
Writ
whereby
you
are
assembled
imports
,
That
the
King
would
advise
with
you
in
matters
concerning
his
Estate
and
Dignity
;
And
as
I
have
ever
indeavoured
by
this
,
and
the
like
waies
,
to
procure
,
and
cherish
the
love
of
my
People
towards
me
,
So
do
I
hope
,
and
fully
believe
,
that
never
any
King
was
more
beloved
of
his
People
(
whom
you
my
Lords
and
Gentlemen
do
here
represent
)
so
I
would
have
you
truly
represent
their
loves
also
to
me
,
that
in
you
as
in
a
true
glass
I
may
perfectly
behold
it
,
and
not
as
a
false
glass
presents
it
,
not
at
all
,
or
otherwise
than
it
is
indeed
.
Give
me
your
free
and
faithful
Counsel
in
this
Matter
,
which
is
that
of
which
you
have
often
heard
,
the
Match
of
my
Son
.
Wherein
as
you
may
know
I
have
spent
much
time
,
with
great
Cost
,
in
long
Treaty
,
desiring
alwaies
therein
(
and
not
without
reason
,
hoping
to
have
effected
my
desires
)
the
advancement
of
my
Estate
,
and
Children
,
and
the
general
Peace
of
all
Christendom
.
Wherein
I
have
alwaies
constantly
laboured
,
depending
too
much
upon
fair
Hopes
and
Promises
.
But
at
the
earnest
instance
of
my
Son
,
I
was
contented
(
although
it
was
of
an
extraordinary
Nature
)
to
send
him
to
prosecute
his
Desires
in
Spain
;
and
for
his
more
safety
I
sent
Buckingham
(
in
whom
I
ever
reposed
the
most
trust
of
my
Person
)
with
him
with
this
command
,
to
be
continually
present
with
him
,
and
never
leave
him
,
till
he
returned
safe
again
unto
me
;
which
he
performed
,
though
not
with
such
effect
as
I
expected
,
yet
not
altogether
without
Profit
;
for
it
taught
me
this
Point
of
Wisdom
,
that
,
Qui
versatur
in
Universalibus
,
&c.
is
easily
deceived
,
and
it
generally
brings
nothing
to
good
issue
;
for
before
any
Matter
can
be
fully
finished
,
it
must
be
brought
to
particulars
.
I
thought
before
their
going
,
the
affairs
had
been
produced
to
a
narrow
Point
(
relying
upon
their
general
Propositions
)
but
when
they
came
to
the
matter
,
it
proved
so
Raw
,
as
if
it
had
been
never
treated
of
,
the
Generals
giving
them
easie
way
to
evade
,
and
affording
them
means
to
avoid
the
effecting
of
any
thing
.
The
Particulars
that
passed
in
the
Treaty
,
I
mean
not
now
to
discover
unto
you
,
the
time
being
too
short
,
I
referre
that
to
Charles
and
Buckingham
,
and
the
Secretaries
,
who
shall
relate
unto
you
all
the
Particulars
.
And
after
that
,
Super
totam
materiam
,
I
desire
your
best
assistance
and
advice
;
what
is
best
and
fittest
for
me
to
do
,
for
the
good
of
the
Common-wealth
,
the
advancement
of
Religion
,
and
the
good
of
my
Son
,
and
my
Children
of
the
Palatine
.
And
of
Our
Estate
I
know
you
cannot
but
be
sensible
,
considering
your
Welfare
consists
in
Ours
,
for
you
shall
be
sure
to
have
your
share
in
what
misery
shall
befal
us
,
therefore
I
need
to
urge
no
further
Arguments
unto
you
for
your
choicest
and
surest
Counsel
.
And
I
assure
you
in
the
faith
of
a
Christian
King
,
that
it
is
Res
integra
,
presented
unto
you
,
and
that
I
stand
not
bound
,
nor
any
wayes
ingaged
,
but
remain
free
to
follow
what
shall
be
best
advised
.
To
plant
is
not
sufficient
,
unless
like
good
Gardiners
you
pluck
up
the
weeds
that
will
choak
your
labours
;
and
the
greatest
weeds
among
you
are
jealousies
,
root
them
out
:
for
my
Actions
,
I
dare
avow
them
before
God
,
but
jealousies
are
of
a
strange
depth
.
I
am
the
husband
,
and
you
the
wife
,
and
it
is
subject
to
the
wife
to
be
jealous
of
her
husband
.
Let
this
be
far
from
you
!
It
hath
been
talked
of
my
remisness
in
maintainance
of
Religion
,
and
suspicion
of
a
toleration
,
but
as
God
shall
judge
me
,
I
never
thought
,
nor
meant
,
or
ever
in
word
expressed
any
thing
that
savored
of
it
.
It
is
true
,
that
at
times
best
known
to
my self
,
I
did
not
so
fully
put
those
lawes
in
execution
,
but
did
wink
,
and
Connive
at
some
things
which
might
have
hindred
more
weighty
Affaires
:
But
I
never
in
all
my
Treaties
agreed
to
any
thing
,
to
the
overthrow
,
or
disagreeing
of
those
Lawes
;
But
in
all
I
had
a
chief
regard
to
the
preservation
of
that
Truth
,
which
I
have
ever
professed
.
And
in
that
respect
as
I
have
a
Charitable
conceit
of
you
,
I
would
have
you
have
the
like
of
me
also
,
in
which
I
did
not
transgress
.
For
it
is
a
good
Horseman's
part
not
alwayes
to
use
the
Spur
,
nor
keep
streight
the
Reign
,
but
sometimes
to
use
the
Spur
,
and
sometimes
to
suffer
the
Reign
more
remiss
;
So
it
is
the
part
of
a
Wise
King
(
and
my
Age
and
experience
have
informed
me
)
sometimes
to
quicken
the
Laws
,
with
strict
Execution
,
and
at
other
times
upon
just
Occasion
to
be
more
remiss
.
And
I
would
also
remove
from
your
thoughts
all
jealousies
,
that
I
might
,
or
ever
did
question
or
infringe
any
of
your
lawful
liberties
,
or
privileges
;
But
I
protest
before
God
I
ever
intended
you
should
injoy
the
fulness
of
all
those
,
that
from
antient
times
give
good
Warrant
and
Testimony
;
of
which
,
if
need
be
,
I
will

Therefore
I
would
have
you
(
as
I
have
in
this
place
heretofore
told
you
,
as
Saint
Paul
did
Timothy
)
avoid
Genealogies
,
and
curious
questions
,
and
quirks
and
jerks
of
Law
,
and
idle
innovations
,
and
if
you
minister

no
just
Occasion
,
I
never
yet
was
,
nor
ever
will
be
curious
or
captious
to
quarrel
with
you
.
But
I
desire
you
to
avoid
all
doubts
,
and
hindrances
,
and
to
compose
your selves
speedily
,
and
quietly
,
to
this
weighty
affair
.
Carry
your selves
modestly
,
and
my
Prayers
shall
be
to
God
for
you
,
and
my
love
shall
be
alwayes
with
you
,
that
a
happy
Conclusion
may
attend
this
Parliament
.
God
is
my
Judge
,
I
speak
it
as
a
Christian
King
,
never
any

faring
Man
,
in
the
burning
,
drie
,
and
sandy
Desarts
,
more
thirsted
for
water
to
quench
his
thirst
,
than
I
thirst
and
long
for
the
happy
success
of
this
Parliament
,
that
the
good
issue
of
this
,
may
expiate
,
and
a●quit
the
fruitless
issue
of
the
former
.
And
I
pray
God
your
Counsels
may
advance
Religion
,
the
publick
weal
,
and
the
good
of
me
,
and
my
Children
.
The
Bishop
of
Lincolns
short
Harangue
.
When
the
King
had
thus
ended
,
the
Lord
Keeper
Williams
,
Bishop
of
Lincoln
,
and
Speaker
to
the
House
of
Peers
(
who
uses
always
to
make
the
King's
mind
further
known
if
there
because
)
told
the
Parliament
,
That
after
the
Eloquent
speech
of
his
Majesty
,
he
would
not
say
anything
;
for
as
one
of
the
Spartan
Kings
being
asked
whether
he
would
not
willingly
hear
a
man
that
counterfeited
the
voice
of
the
Nightingale
to
the
life
,
made
answer
,
He
had
heard
the
Nightingale
.
So
for
him
to
repeat
,
or
rehearse
what
the
King
had
said
,
was
(
according
to
the
Latine
Proverb
)
to
enamel
a
Golden
Ring
with
studs
of
iron
.
He
doubted
not
but
that
the
King's
Speech
had
like
Aeschines
Orations
left
in
their
minds
a
sting
;
And
as
an
Historian
said
of
Nerva
,
that
having
adopted
Trajan
,
he
was
immediately
taken
away
,
Nepost
divinum

mortale
faceret

So
he
would
not
dare
after
his
Majesties
Divinum
et
immortale
dictum
,
mortale
aliquid
addere

But
the
Parliament
,
though
they
knew
there
was
an
intention
of
a
Toleration
of
Popery
upon
the
close
of
the
Spanish
match
,
sealed
up
(
as
it
were
)
their
lips
,
and
would
not
see
the
light
that
discovered
it self
through
this
cloud
that
the
King
cast
before
it
(
though
some
of
the
Commons
had
much
ado
to
hold
,
which
he
takes
notice
of

but
they
went
on
directly
to
his
Business
,
making
it
their
own
,
forgetting
all
former
miscarriages
.
And
upon
the
24.
of
this
moneth
,
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
,
Feb.
24.
Buckinghams
Relation
to
the
Parliament
.
accompanied
with
the
Prince
as
his
Remembrancer
,
made
a
long
Relation
of
all
the
transactions
in
Spain
,
to
both
Houses
,
with
all
the
advantage
he
could
,
to
make
good
his
own
Actions
,
some
of
the
Particulars
whereof
are
already
related
.
And
he
took
the
first
Discovery
of
the
intention
of
the
King
of
Spain
not
to
deal
fairly
with
Our
King
(
touching
the
Restitution
of
the
Palatinate
)
from
the
Arch-dutchess
jugling
in
the
Treaty
at
Bruxels
,
which
was
managed
by
Sir
Richard
Weston
,
our
King's
Ambassadour
there
,
who
urged
for
a
Cessation
of
Armes
in
the
Palatinate
(
the
Arch-Dutchess
pretending
Power
to
draw
off
the
Spanish
Forces
,
if
Our
King
would
first
draw
off
his
)
it
came
to
an
Agreement
;
but
in
the
close
(
after
some
Delayes
)
she
confessed
she
had
no
Power
to
admit
of
a
Cessation
,
till
she
had
more
particular
warrant
for
it
out
of
Spain
.
That
these
shufflings
made
Our
King
send
Porter
into
Spain
for
a
more
resolute
answer
,
in
relation
to
the
Match
,
and
the
Palatinate
,
and
assigned
him
but
ten
dayes
to
stay
there
;
In
which
time
,
Bristol
fed
him
with
Hopes
,
which
he
found
very
Empty
ones
:
whereupon
Porter
went
boldly
to
Olivares
,
who
(
in
an
open-hearted
way
)
told
him
plainly
that
Spain
meant
neither
the
Match
,
nor
Restitution
of
the
Palatinate
.
Bristol
seeing
Porter
would
return
with
this
answer
,
persuaded
him
to
speak
with
Olivares
again
,
who
coming
to
Olivares
,
found
him
much
incensed
,
for
relating
the
private
intimation
he
gave
him
,
to
Bristol
the
Publick
minister
,
and
denyed
to
speak
with
Porter
anymore
.
Bristol
still
puffs
up
Our
King
with
an
assurance
both
of
the
Match
,
and
restitution
of
the
Palatinate
,
but
they
proceeding
slowly
,
the
Prince
desired
that
he
might
go
himself
into
Spain
,
which
Buckingham
first
broke
to
the
King
,
who
with
Reasons
laid
down
for
it
,
was
drawn
to
it
.
When
the
Prince
came
there
,
the
Match
at
first
was
absolutely
denied
,
unless
he
would
be
converted
,
which
Bristol
perswaded
the
Prince
unto
,
at
least
in
shew
,
to
expedite
his
Business
.
Then
the
Spanish
Ministers
urged
for
a
Toleration
of
Religion
in
England
,
which
they
hoped
(
as
some
of
them
expressed
)
would
cause
a
Rebellion
,
and
they
offered
the
Prince
an
Army
to
Assist
him
for
the
Suppression
of
the
same
.
But
the
Prince
finding
the
Spanish
did
but
dallie
with
him
,
left
a
Proxie
with
Bristol
to
conclude
the
Match
,
when
the
Dispensation
came
,
which
the
Prince
forbad
him
to
deliver
;
Bristol
nevertheless
proceeds
,
and
if
Gresley
had
not
brought
a
Revocation
of
the
Proxie
from
the
King
over
night
,
Bristol
had
made
the
Espousalls
the
next
day
.
And
alwaies
at
the
end
of
every
point
,
he
would
look
upon
the
Prince
for
his
approbation
,
and
allowance
,
who
still
as
the
Duke
went
on
,
confirmed
the
same
.
And
so
Buckingham
concluded
,
that
if
the
drawing
of
us
out
of
Darkness
into
Light
,
did
deserve
thanks
,
we
all
owed
it
to
the
Prince
,
who
by
the
Hazard
of
his
Person
,
and
by
his
great
care
and
industry
had
done
this
for
Us.
The
Duke
highly
esteemed
.
The
Parliament
that
looked
upon
the
Duke
with
a
Sour
Eye
for
tempting
the
Prince
to
so
dangerous
a
journey
,
when
they
found
what
excellent
effects
it
had
produced
,
forgot
the
Old
Murmurs
buzzed
against
him
,
and
with
elevated
Voices
could
scarce
be
contained
from
acknowledging
him
The
Preserver
of
the
Nation
.
This
his
discovery
is
Cryed
up
every
where
,
and
who
but
the
Duke
is
become
the
Darling
of
the
Multitude
?
So
dear
then
was
the
Prince
unto
the
People
,
that
they
tendred
his
safety
as
their
own
!
and
so
easily
might
he
have
retained
his
Love
,
if
by
grasping
after
Shadows
,
he
had
not
lost
the
Substance
.
For
those
people
are
the
soonest
deceived
that
love
most
to
admire
.
Little
deserved
.
The
Parliament
were
but
men
,
and
could
at
present
see
no
more
than
the
Duke
was
pleased
to
shew
them
,
through
the
flattering
glass
of
this
Relation
.
But
when
Bristol
came
over
,
and
(
as
afterwards
he
did
)
discover
,
that
the
Duke
carried
the
Prince
purposely
into
Spain
to
be
the
better
instructed
in
Popery
:
That
he
gave
hope
to
the
Spanish
Ministers
of
State
of
the
Prince's
Conversion
,
which
made
them
propound
far
worse
Conditions
for
Religion
than
had
been
formerly
agreed
on
:
That
he
professed
himself
a
Papist
there
;
going
to
Mass
,
kneeling
to
,
and
adoring
their
Sacraments
,
which
the
Pope
being
informed
of
,
sent
the
Duke
a
Bull
,
to
perswade
,
and
incourage
him
to
pervert
the
King
and
Prince
,
An.
Reg.
21.
with
other
pernicious
Crimes
laid
to
his
Charge
in
the
next
King's
reign
(
as
may
appear
in
due
time
)
None
can
blame
the
People
for
Mutable
affections
:
An.
Christi
.
1624.
for
when
false-hood
is
so
impudent
as
to
hoodwink
such
an
Assembly
,
with
the
vail
that
Truth
her self
is
wont
to
put
on
,
who
can
at
an
instant
discover
it
?
But
it
was
a
hard
Condition
for
the
banished
Palatine
to
have
such
Mediators
as
Buckingham
,
Bristol
,
and
Weston
,
to
make
intercession
for
him
,
the
Temper
of
whose
Spirits
was
well
known
,
and
which
way
their
affections
tended
.
But
now
the
load
is
all
laid
upon
Bristol
;
though
he
were
at
the
distance
of
not
being
sensible
of
it
,
yet
it
was
so
heavy
,
that
most
Men
thought
he
would
never
come
to
have
it
taken
off
.
The
Parliament
advise
the
King
to
break
the
Treaties
with
Spain
.
But
all
things
were
passed
over
by
the
Parliament
that
reflected
upon
particulars
,
having
in
their
eye
the
general
good
of
the
Kingdom
,
which
they
strove
to
manage
with
advantage
.
And
the
Treaty
of
the
Marriage
with
Spain
being
put
into
their
hands
,
they
crushed
the
brood
in
the
nest
,
advising
the
King
to
break
the
Treaty
,
and
proclaim
open
War
with
that
King
.
Which
they
did
not
do
suddainly
,
as
if
they
had
been
eager
upon
a
War
,
but
with
good
advice
,
and
deliberate
consideration
,
as
the
most
immediate
means
for
the
establishment
of
Religion
,
and
setled
Peace
;
protesting
to
assist
the
King
,
for
the
regaining
of
the
Palatinate
with
their
lives
,
and
fortunes
.
Upon
which
Declaration
and
Resolution
,
the
King
determined
to
send
instantly
post
into
Spain
,
to
his
Ambassadors
,
to
signifie
to
that
King
that
the
Parliament
advised
him
to
break
off
the
Treaties
,
and
to
recover
the
Palatinate
by
War
,
and
the
Post
had
his
Dispatch
to
that
purpose
;
when
the
King
repented
him
of
what
he
had
done
,
and
(
like
the
Husband
how
jealous
of
his
Wife
)
writes
to
Secretary
Conway
this
Letter
,
to
impede
and
delay
the
Business
.
The
King's
Letter
to
Secretary
Conway
.
I
doubt
not
but
you
have
heard
what
a
stinging
Petition
against
the
Papists
,
the
Lower
House
have
sent
to
the
Higher
House
this
day
,
that
they
might
joyntly
present
it
to
me
;
you
know
my
firm
Resolution
not
to
make
this
a
War
of
Religion
.
And
seeing
I
would
be
loth
to
be
Conny-catcht
by
my
People
,
I
pray
you
stay
the
Post
that
is
going
into
Spain
,
till
I
meet
with
my
Son
,
who
will
be
here
to
morrow
morning
.
Do
it
upon
pretext
of
some
more
Letters
ye
are
to
send
by
him
,
and
if
he
should
be
gone
,
hasten
after
him
to
stay
him
,
upon
some
such
pretext
,
and
let
none
living
know
of
this
as
ye
love
me
:
and
before
two
in
the
afternoon
to
morrow
you
shall
without
fail
hear
from
me
.
Farewell

By
this
Letter
it
appears
,
Conjectures
on
the
King's
Letter
.
that
the
King
thought
the
Petition
against
Recusants
of
such
high
consequence
,
that
if
he
should
not
give
the
Parliament
a
good
answer
,
it
might
make
a
Rupture
with
them
,
and
therefore
he
will
see
further
in
the
Nature
of
this
Petition
,
before
he
will
break
with
the
King
of
Spain
;
and
know
more
of
the
Prince
,
his
Son's
mind
,
happily
whether
he
would
yet
accept
of
his
Old
Mistris
,
or
expect
a
new
one
.
Or
whether
the
King
feared
that
the
Parliament
would
not
make
good
their
Promises
,
to
stand
with
their
lives
and
fortunes
in
the
Gap
,
when
this
great
Breach
was
made
,
and
so
cousen
him
,
may
be
Mystical
Conjectures
from
Mystical
Expressions
,
grounded
upon
the
Words
of
a
King
:
Or
whether
any
or
all
of
these
(
like
the
King's
Heart
inscrutable
)
are
meant
in
the
Letter
,
is
not
here
determined
.
But
the
King
hastens
to
the
House
,
and
finding
no
such
terrible
things
in
the
Petition
(
the
Lords
being
not
so
quick
in
the
Resolution
of
it
,
as
the
King
was
in
the
apprehension
of
it
)
he
stirs
not
those
Waters
,
but
sounds
the
depth
of
the
Parliaments
Intentions
,
by
propounding
his
Doubts
,
and
requiring
a
solution
to
them
,
in
order
to
a
War
,
with
prudence
and
caution
.
My
Lords
and
Gentlemen
all
.
I
have
cause
first
to
thank
God
with
my
heart
,
The
King
's
2.
speech
to
both
Houses
.
and
all
the
faculties
of
my
mind
,
that
my
speech
which
I
delivered
in
Parliament
hath
taken
so
good
effect
among
you
,
as
that
with
an
Unamine
consent
,
you
have
freely
,
and
speedily
,
given
me
your
advice
in
this
great
Business
,
for
which
I
also
thank
you
all
as
heartily
as
I
can
.
I
also
give
my
particular
thanks
to
the
Gentlemen
of
the
lower
House
,
for
that
I
hear
,
when
some
among
them
would
have
cast
jealousies
,
and
doubts
,
between
me
and
my
people
,
you
presently
quelled
those
Motions
,
which
might
have
hindred
the
happy
agreement
I
hope
to
find
in
this
Parliament
.
You
give
me
your
advice
to
break
off
both
the
Treaties
as
well
concerning
the
Match
,
as
the
Palatinate
.
And
now
give
me
leave
as
an
old
King
to
propound
my
Doubts
,
and
hereafter
give
me
your
answer
.
First
it
is
true
that
I
who
have
been
all
the
dayes
of
my
life
a
peaceable
King
,
and
have
had
the
Honour
in
my
Titles
,
and
impress
to
be
stiled
Rex
pacificus
,
should
without
necessity
,
imbroil
my self
in
a
War
.
Which
is
so
far
from
my
Nature
and
from
the
Honour
I
have
had
both
at
home
and
abroad
,
in
endeavouring
to
avoid
the
effusion
of
Christian
blood
(
of
which
too
much
hath
been
shed
)
and
so
much
against
my
Heart
,
that
unless
it
be
upon
such
a
necessity
,
that
I
may
call
it
(
as
some
merrily
say
it
of
Women
)
Malum
Necessarium
,
I
shall
be
loth
to
enter
into
it
.
And
I
must
likewise
acquaint
you
that
I
have
had
no
small
hopes
given
me
of
Obtaining
better
Conditions
,
for
Restitution
of
the
Palatinate
,
and
that
even
since
the
setting
down
of
this
Parliament
.
But
be
not
jealous
,
nor
think
me
such
a
King
,
that
would
under
pretext
of
asking
your
advice
put
a
scorn
upon
you
,
by
disdaining
or
rejecting
it
.
For
you
remember
,
that
in
my
first
Speech
unto
you
,
for
proof
of
my
Love
to
my
People
,
I
craved
your
advice
in
this
great
and
weighty
affair
.
But
in
a
matter
of
this
Weight
.
I
must
consider
how
this
Course
may
agree
with
my
Conscience
and
Honour
,
and
next
,
according
to
the
Parable
uttered
by
our
Saviour
,
(
after
I
was
resolved
of
the
Necessity
,
and
justness
of
the
Cause
)
to
consider
how
I
shall
be
enabled
to
raise
Forces
for
this
purpose
.
As
concerning
the
Case
of
my
Children
.
I
am
now
old
,
and
would
be
glad
,
as
Moses
saw
the
Land
of
Promise
from
a
high
Mountain
(
though
he
had
not
leave
to
set
his
foot
in
it
)
so
would
it
be
a
great
Comfort
to
me
,
that
God
would
so
long
prolong
my
daies
,
as
,
if
I
might
not
see
the
Restitution
,
yet
at
least
to
be
assured
that
it
would
be
.
That
then
I
might
with
old
Simeon
say
,
Nunc
dimittis
servum
tuum
Domine
!
Otherwise
it
would
be
a
great
grief
unto
me
,
and
I
should
dy
with
a
heavy
,
and
discomforted
Heart
.
I
have
often
said
,
and
particularly
in
the
last
Parliament
,
(
and
I
shall
be
ever
of
the
Mind
)
that
as
I
am
not
ambitious
of
other
Mens
Goods
or
Lands
,
so
I
desire
not
to
enjoy
a
furrow
of
Land
in
England
,
Scotland
,
and
Ireland
,
without
Restitution
of
the
Palatinate
;
and
in
this
Mind
I
will
live
and
dy
.
But
let
me
acquaint
you
a
little
with
the
difficulties
of
this
Case
;
He
is
an
unhappy
man
who
shall
advise
a
King
to
War
,
and
it
is
an
unchristian
thing
to
seek
that
by
blood
,
which
may
be
had
by
Peace
.
Besides
,
I
think
your
Intentions
are
not
to
ingage
me
in
a
War
,
but
withal
you
will
consider
how
many
things
there
are
requisite
thereunto
.
I
omit
to
speak
of
my
Own
Necessities
,
they
are
too
well
known
;
Sure
I
am
,
I
have
had
the
least
help
in
Parliament
of
any
King
that
reigned
over
you
these
many
years
;
I
have
let
you
know
that
my
disabilities
are
increased
,
by
the
Charge
of
my
Son's
Journey
into
Spain
(
which
I
was
at
for
his
Honour
,
and
the
Honour
of
the
Nation
)
by
sending
Ambassadours
,
by
Maintenance
of
my
Children
,
and
by
assisting
of
the
Palatinate
.
I
have
incurred
a
great
Debt
to
the
King
of
Denmark
,
which
I
am
not
able
to
pay
.
The
Low-Countries
(
who
in
regard
of
their
nearness
are
fittest
to
help
for
the
Recovery
of
the
Palatinate
)
are
at
so
low
an
ebb
,
that
if
I
assist
them
not
,
they
will
be
scarce
able
to
subsist
.
The
Princes
of
Germany
that
should
do
me
any
good
,
are
all
poor
,
and
weak
,
and
disheartned
,
and
do
expect
assistance
from
hence
.
For
Ireland
,
I
leave
it
to
you
,
if
that
be
not
a
back-door
fit
to
be
secured
.
For
the
Navy
,
I
thank
God
it
is
now
in
a
better
Case
than
ever
it
was
,
yet
more
must
be
done
,
and
before
it
can
be
prepared
as
it
ought
to
be
,
it
will
require
a
new
Charge
,
as
well
for
the
own
Strength
,
as
for
securing
of
the
Coasts
.
My
Children
(
I
vow
to
God
)
eat
no
bread
but
by
my
means
,
An.
Reg.
22.
I
must
maintain
them
,
and
not
see
them
want
.
My
Customs
are
the
best
part
of
my
Revenues
,
An.
Christi
.
1624.
and
in
effect
the
Substance
of
all
I
have
to
live
on
;
All
which
are
Farmed
out
upon
Condition
,
That
if
there
be
War
,
those
Bargains
are
to
be
anulled
.
Subsidies
ask
a
great
time
to
bring
in
;
and
if
you
assist
me
that
Way
,
I
must
take
them
up
before-hand
upon
Credit
,
which
will
eat
up
a
great
part
of
them
.
This
being
my
Case
,
to
enter
into
a
War
without
sufficient
means
to
support
it
,
were
to
shew
my
Teeth
and
do
no
more
.
In
the
mean
time
,
I
heartily
thank
you
for
your
Advice
,
and
will
seriously
think
upon
it
;
As
I
pray
you
to
consider
of
these
other
Points
.
My
Treasurer
,
to
whose
Office
it
appertains
,
shall
more
at
large
inform
you
of
those
things
that
concern
my
Estate
.
Thus
freely
do
I
open
my
Heart
to
you
,
and
having
your
Hearts
,
I
cannot
want
your
Helps
;
for
it
is
the
Heart
that
opens
the
Purse
,
not
the
Purse
the
Heart
.
I
will
deal
frankly
with
you
,
shew
me
the
means
how
I
may
do
what
you
would
have
me
,
and
if
I
take
a
Resolution
upon
your
Advice
to
enter
into
a
War
,
then
your
own
Deputies
shall
have
the
disposing
of
the
Money
,
I
will
not
meddle
with
it
,
but
you
shall
appoint
your
own
Treasurers
.
I
say
not
this
with
purpose
to
invite
you
to
open
your
Purses
,
and
then
to
slight
you
so
much
as
not
to
follow
your
Counsel
,
nor
ingage
you
before
I
be
ingaged
my self
.
Give
me
what
you
will
for
my
own
means
,
for
I
protest
none
of
the
Money
which
you
shall
give
for
these
Uses
,
shall
be
issued
but
for
those
ends
.
If
upon
your
Offer
I
shall
find
the
means
to
make
a
War
honourable
,
and
sate
,
(
and
that
I
resolve
to
imbrace
your
Advice
)
then
I
promise
you
on
the
Word
of
a
King
,
That
although
War
and
Peace
be
the
peculiar
Prerogative
of
Kings
,
yet
as
I
have
advised
with
you
in
the
Treaties
,
on
which
War
may
ensue
,
so
I
will
not
Treat
nor
accept
of
Peace
,
without
first
acquainting
you
with
it
,
and
hearing
your
Advice
,
and
therein
go
the
proper
way
of
Parliament
,
in
conferring
and
consulting
with
you
:
And
happily
,
Conditions
of
Peace
will
be
the
better
,
when
we
are
prepared
for
War
,
according
to
the
Proverb
,
That
Weapons
breed
Peace
.
Your
kind
Carriage
gives
me
much
Contentment
,
and
that
comforts
me
which
my
Lord
of
Canterbury
said
,
That
there
was
not
a
contrary
Voice
among
you
all
,
like
the
Seventy
Interpreters
,
who
were
led
by
the
breath
of
God
.
I
am
so
desirous
to
forget
all
rents
in
former
Parliaments
,
that
it
shall
not
be
my
default
,
if
I
be
not
in
love
with
Parliaments
,
and
call
them
often
,
and
desire
to
end
my
life
in
that
intercourse
between
Me
and
my
People
,
for
making
of
good
Laws
,
reforming
abuses
,
and
maintaining
the
good
Government
of
the
Common-Wealth
.
Therefore
go
on
cheerfully
,
and
advise
of
these
points
,
and
my
Resolution
shall
be
then
,
declared
.
None
can
blame
the
King
for
being
too
cautelous
,
The
Parliament
close
with
the
King
.
or
wary
in
such
an
Eruption
as
this
,
so
contrary
to
his
Nature
(
as
he
saith
himself
)
a
War
was
a
new
World
to
him
,
fearing
to
lay
out
by
it
more
than
he
should
receive
.
And
in
this
,
he
was
like
the
Man
,
that
when
his
Master
gave
great
Charge
to
go
and
gather
up
his
Rents
in
the
Country
,
and
to
take
a
pair
of
Pistols
with
him
,
to
bring
home
his
Money
with
the
more
security
:
After
the
Master
had
appointed
him
to
pay
so
much
in
one
place
,
and
so
much
in
another
,
that
the
Man
saw
he
should
not
receive
so
much
as
he
should
disburse
,
Bid
his
Master
take
his
Pistols
again
,
he
should
not
use
them
.
So
the
King
fearing
that
when
the
War
was
begun
,
there
would
not
be
where
withal
to
maintain
it
,
Thanked
the
Parliament
for
their
Advice
,
and
he
would
consider
better
of
it
.
And
they
seeling
the
King's
Pulse
by
his
expressions
,
resolved
now
not
to
let
him
flag
,
but
to
keep
up
the
temper
of
his
Spirit
,
that
a
little
thing
would
make
decline
again
.
And
therefore
they
seriously
settled
to
their
Business
,
and
answered
his
Expectation
fully
,
which
they
presented
unto
him
shortly
after
,
in
these
words
,
to
his
great
Satisfaction
.
Most
Gracious
Soveraign
,
WE
your
Majesties
most
Humble
and
Loyal
Subjects
,
Their
Declaration
.
the
Lords
and
Commons
in
this
present
Parliament
assembled
,
do
first
render
to
your
Sacred
Majesty
,
Our
most
Dutiful
Thanks
,
for
that
to
Our
unspeakable
Comfort
,
you
have
vouchsafed
to
express
your Self
so
well
satisfied
with
Our
late
Declaration
made
unto
your
Majesty
,
of
Our
general
Resolution
in
pursuit
of
Our
Humble
Advice
to
assist
your
Majesty
in
a
Parliamentary
way
,
with
Our
Persons
and
Abilities
.
And
whereas
your
Majesty
in
your
Great
Wisdom
and
Iudgment
,
foreseeing
that
it
will
make
a
deeper
impression
,
both
in
the
Enemies
of
that
Cause
,
and
in
your
Friends
and
Allies
,
if
they
shall
not
onely
hear
of
the
Cheerful
Offers
,
but
also
see
the
Real
performance
of
your
Subjects
towards
so
great
a
Work
.
Your
Majesty
was
pleased
to
descend
to
a
particular
Proposition
for
the
advancing
of
this
great
Business
.
We
therefore
in
all
humbleness
most
ready
and
willing
to
give
your
Majesty
and
the
whole
World
an
ample
Testimony
of
Our
Sincere
and
Dutiful
Intentions
herein
,
upon
Mature
Advice
and
Deliberation
,
as
well
of
the
Weight
and
Importance
,
of
this
great
Affair
,
as
of
the
present
Estate
of
this
your
Kingdom
.
(
the
Weal
and
Safety
whereof
,
is
in
Our
Iudgments
apparently
threatned
,
if
your
Majesties
Resolution
for
the
Dissolving
of
the
Treaties
,
now
in
question
,
be
longer
deferred
,
and
that
Provision
for
defence
of
your
Realm
,
and
aid
of
your
Friends
,
and
Allies
,
be
not
seasonably
made
)
have
with
a
Cheerful
Consent
of
all
the
Commons
(
no
one
dissenting
)
and
with
a
Full
,
and
Cheerful
Consent
of
the
Lords
,
Resolved
,
That
upon
your
Majesties
publique
Declaration
,
for
the
Dissolution
,
and
utter
Discharge
of
both
the
said
Treaties
of
the
Marriage
,
and
the
Palatinate
,
in
pursuit
of
Our
Advice
therein
,
and
towards
the
Support
of
that
War
,
which
is
likely
to
ensue
;
And
more
particularly
for
those
four
Points
proposed
by
your
Majesty
.
Namely
,
for
the
Defence
of
this
your
Realm
;
the
Securing
of
Ireland
;
the
assistance
of
your
Neighbours
,
the
States
of
the
United
Provinces
;
and
other
your
Majesties
Friends
,
and
Allies
;
and
for
the
setting
forth
of
your
Royal
Navy
;
We
will
grant
for
the
present
,
the
greatest
Aid
which
ever
was
given
in
Parliament
.
That
is
to
say
,
Three
intire
Subsidies
,
and
three
Fifteens
,
to
be
all
paid
within
the
compass
of
one
whole
Year
,
after
your
Majestie
shall
be
pleased
to
make
the
said
Declaration
;
The
Money
to
be
paid
into
the
Hands
,
and
expended
by
the
Direction
of
such
Committees
,
or
Commissioners
,
as
hereafter
shall
be
agreed
upon
at
this
present
Session
of
Parliament
.
And
We
most
humbly
beseech
your
Majesty
,
to
accept
of
these
First
Fruits
of
Our
Hearty
Oblation
,
dedicated
to
that
Work
,
which
We
infinitely
desire
may
prosper
,
and
be
advanced
.
And
for
the
Future
to
rest
confidently
assured
,
That
We
your
Loyal
and
Loving
Subjects
,
will
never
fail
in
a
Parliamentary
way
,
to
assist
your
Majestie
in
so
Royal
a
Design
;
wherein
your
Own
Honour
,
and
the
Honour
of
your
most
Noble
Son
the
Prince
,
the
Antient
Renown
of
this
Nation
,
the
Welfare
and
very
Subsistence
of
your
Noble
,
and
Onely
Daughter
,
and
her
Consort
,
and
their
Posterity
,
the
Safety
of
your
Own
Kingdom
,
and
People
,
and
the
Prosperity
of
your
Neighbours
,
and
Allies
,
are
so
deeply
ingaged
.
The
Treaties
with
Spain
dissolved
.
The
Parliament
by
this
Declaration
came
up
so
close
to
the
King
,
that
he
could
make
no
evasion
,
but
rested
contented
now
in
his
Latter
time
(
when
the
Almonds
(
as
it
were
)
begun
to
Blossom
upon
his
head
)
to
plunge
himself
into
a
War
:
which
brought
him
again
to
the
Parliament
,
to
thank
them
for
their
Readiness
to
assist
him
;
telling
them
,
That
he
is
willing
to
follow
their
advice
in
the
Anulling
and
Breach
of
these
two
Treaties
.
They
having
given
enough
to
begin
a
War
,
but
when
the
end
will
be
(
he
said
)
God
knows
.
Yet
he
will
ingage
for
himself
and
his
Son
,
his
Successour
,
That
no
means
shall
be
left
unused
for
recovery
of
the
Palatinate
.
And
for
all
his
Old
Age
(
if
it
might
do
any
good
)
he
would
go
in
person
to
further
the
Business
.
But
as
he
is
contented
to
have
the
Parliament
Committees
to
dispose
of
the
Moneys
by
their
Directions
,
so
the
Design
must
not
be
acted
by
publique
Councels
;
For
whether
he
shall
send
Two
thousand
,
or
Ten
thousand
;
whether
by
Sea
or
Land
,
East
,
or
West
,
by
Diversion
or
Invasion
,
upon
the
Bavarian
,
or
the
Emperor
,
that
must
be
left
to
the
King
.
And
this
he
did
,
that
there
might
be
no
jealousies
,
but
to
smooth
every
Rub
betwixt
them
.
And
to
put
it
in
execution
,
a
Council
of
War
is
chosen
out
of
the
old
,
and
long
discontinued
Militia
of
Ireland
,
and
some
others
of
the
Nobility
;
and
upon
result
of
their
Counsels
(
after
some
debate
)
it
was
concluded
,
to
send
fix
thousand
men
for
the
present
into
the
Low
Countreys
,
to
joyn
with
the
States
Forces
,
against
the
King
of
Spain's
mighty
Armies
,
under
the
command
of
Marquess
Spinola
,
that
threatned
the
next
Summer
to
over-run
the
Netherlands
,
that
weakning
the
Spaniard
in
Flanders
,
they
might
have
the
more
free
access
into
Germany
.
The
Dissolution
of
the
Treaties
with
Spain
,
The
Spanish
Ambassadour
accuses
Buckingham
of
Treason
.
and
the
preparation
for
War
resounding
in
every
Ear
,
gave
such
an
Allarm
to
the
Spanish
Ambassadour
,
the
Marquess
of
Inoiosa
,
that
whether
out
of
Truth
,
and
Knowledge
(
as
he
pretended
)
or
Malice
only
,
cannot
be
determined
:
But
he
sent
to
the
King
,
to
let
him
know
,
that
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
had
some
dangerous
Machination
a
foot
,
that
tended
to
his
Destruction
,
and
the
best
he
could
expect
,
would
be
a
confinement
to
a
Countrey-house
,
in
some
Park
during
his
life
;
the
Prince
being
now
in
full
abilities
and
ripe
in
Government
.
This
Concussion
was
strong
enough
to
shake
an
old
Building
,
that
was
of
a
fearful
,
and
tottering
Temper
(
especially
if
he
considered
how
his
Mother
was
put
by
her
Government
,
to
say
nothing
of
Prince
Henry
)
but
the
violence
of
it
did
not
work
,
because
the
Operation
was
somewhat
mitigated
by
the
Duke's
Protestation
of
his
Innocency
.
For
the
King
at
the
next
Interview
saying
to
him
,
Ah
Stenny
,
Stenny
,
(
which
was
the
Familiar
name
he
alwayes
used
to
him
)
Wilt
thou
kill
me
?
The
Duke
struck
into
an
Astonishment
with
the
Expression
,
after
some
little
Pause
,
collected
himself
,
and
with
many
asseverations
strove
to
justify
his
Integrity
;
which
the
good
King
was
willing
enough
to
Believe
;
and
Buckingham
finding
by
some
discourse
,
that
Padre
Macestria
the
Spanish
Iesuit
,
had
been
with
the
King
,
he
had
then
a
large
Theme
for
his
Vindication
,
turning
all
upon
the
Spanish
Iesuitical
Malice
,
which
proceeded
from
the
ruins
of
their
quashed
Hopes
.
And
the
King
knowing
Inoiosa
and
all
that
Party
,
very
bitter
against
Buckingham
;
and
though
he
did
not
directly
accuse
the
Prince
to
be
in
the
Conspiracy
,
with
Buckingham
,
yet
he
reflected
upon
him
;
for
such
an
attempt
could
never
have
been
effected
without
his
Privity
;
therefore
out
of
the
Bowels
of
good
Nature
he
did
unbelieve
it
;
and
after
Examinations
of
some
Persons
the
Duke's
Intimates
,
and
their
constant
denyal
upon
oath
(
which
they
had
no
good
Cause
to
confess
)
the
King
was
content
(
being
loth
to
think
such
an
Enterprize
could
be
fostred
so
neer
his
own
Bosom
)
to
have
the
Brat
strangled
in
the
Womb.
And
he
presently
sent
into
Spain
to
desire
Iustice
of
that
King
,
against
the
Ambassadours
false
Accusation
,
which
he
said
wounded
his
Son's
Honour
through
Buckingham's
side
,
which
Sir
Walter
Aston
represented
to
the
King
of
Spain
(
for
Bristol
was
coming
over
to
justifie
his
Actions
to
the
Parliament
.
)
But
the
Duke
of
Buckinghams
reputation
there
procured
no
other
Satisfaction
,
than
some
little
check
of
formality
;
for
when
Inoiosa
was
recalled
home
,
he
was
not
lessen'd
in
esteem
.
Thus
was
this
Information
waved
,
though
there
might
be
some
cause
to
suspect
,
that
the
great
intimacy
,
and
Dearness
,
betwixt
the
Prince
and
Duke
(
like
the
conjunction
of
two
dreadful
planets
)
could
not
but
portend
the
production
of
some
very
dangerous
effect
to
the
old
King
.
But
the
Duke's
Reputation
,
though
it
failed
in
Spain
,
held
firm
footing
in
England
;
Bristol
sent
to●
the
Tower
.
for
Bristol
no
sooner
appeared
,
but
he
is
clapt
up
in
the
Tower
.
Their
jugling
practices
(
whereof
they
were
Both
guilty
enough
)
must
not
yet
come
to
light
,
to
disturb
the
Proceedings
in
Parliament
.
Bristol
had
too
much
of
the
King's
Commission
for
what
he
did
(
though
he
might
overshoot
himself
in
what
he
said
)
which
was
not
now
to
be
discovered
.
Yet
the
Rigor
of
that
imprisonment
would
have
sounded
too
loud
,
if
he
had
not
had
a
suddain
Release
;
who
finding
the
Duke
high
mounted
yet
in
power
,
and
himself
in
no
Degree
to
grapple
with
him
,
was
content
with
Submission
to
gain
his
liberty
,
and
retire
himself
to
a
Country
privacy
.
The
Lords
being
now
at
leisure
began
to
consider
of
that
stinging
petition
(
as
the
King
called
it
)
against
Papists
,
how
necessary
it
was
to
joyn
with
the
Commons
,
to
supplicate
the
King
to
take
down
the
pride
of
their
high-flying
Hopes
,
that
had
been
long
upon
the
Wing
,
watching
for
their
prey
,
and
now
they
are
made
to
stoop
without
it
.
And
after
some
Conferences
betwixt
both
Houses
about
it
,
the
Petition
was
reduced
to
these
two
Propositions
,
and
presented
to
the
King
as
two
Petitions
.
The
Parliaments
Petition
against
Recusants
.
We
your
Majestie
's
most
humble
and
loyal
Subjects
the
Lords
and
Commons
assembled
in
Parliament
,
do
in
all
humbleness
offer
unto
your
Sacred
Majesty
these
two
Petitions
following
.
1.
That
for
the
more
safety
of
your
Realms
,
and
better
keeping
your
Subjects
in
Obedience
,
and
other
important
Reasons
of
State
,
your
Majesty
would
be
pleased
(
by
some
such
course
as
you
shall
think
fit
)
to
give
present
Order
,
that
all
the
Laws
be
put
in
due
execution
,
which
have
been
made
,
and
do
stand
in
force
against
Jesuits
,
Seminary
Priests
,
and
others
,
having
taken
Orders
by
authority
derived
from
the
See
of
Rome
,
and
generally
against
all
Popish
Recusants
.
And
as
for
disarming
,
that
it
may
be
according
to
the
Laws
,
and
according
to
former
Acts
,
and
Directions
of
State
,
in
that
Case
.
And
yet
that
it
may
appear
to
all
the
World
,
the
Favour
and
Clemency
your
Majesty
useth
towards
all
your
Subjects
of
what
Condition
soever
;
And
to
the
intent
the
Jesuits
,
and
Priests
,
now
in
the
Realm
,
may
not
pretend
to
be
surprized
,
that
a
speedy
and
certain
may
be
prefixed
,
by
your
Majesties
Proclamation
,
before
which
day
they
shall
depart
out
of
this
Kingdom
,
and
all
other
your
Highness
Dominions
;
and
neither
they
nor
any
other
to
return
or
come
hither
again
,
upon
peril
of
the
severest
Penalties
of
the
Laws
now
in
force
against
them
.
And
that
all
your
Majesties
Subjects
may
thereby
also
be
admonished
,
not
to
receive
,
entertain
,
or
conceal
,
any
of
them
,
upon
the
Penalties
,
and
Forfeitures
,
which
by
the
Laws
may
be
imposed
on
them
.
2.
Seeing
We
are
thus
happily
delivered
from
that
danger
which
those
Treaties
now
dissolved
,
and
that
use
which
your
ill-affected
Subjects
made
thereof
would
certainly
have
drawn
upon
us
,
and
yet
cannot
but
foresee
,
and
fear
lest
the
like
may
hereafter
happen
,
which
would
inevitably
bring
much
peril
upon
your
Majesties
Kingdoms
;
We
are
most
humble
Suters
unto
your
Gracious
Majesty
,
to
secure
the
Hearts
of
your
good
Subjects
,
by
the
ingagement
of
your
Royal
Word
unto
them
,
that
upon
no
occasion
of
Marriage
or
Treaty
,
(
or
other
request
in
that
behalf
from
any
forein
Prince
or
State
whatsoever
)
you
will
take
away
or
slacken
the
Execution
of
your
Laws
against
Jesuits
,
Priests
,
and
Popish
Recusants
.
To
which
Our
humble
Petitions
(
proceeding
from
Our
most
Loyal
and
Dutiful
affections
towards
your
Majesty
,
Our
Care
of
Our
Countries
good
,
and
our
own
confident
persuasion
,
that
these
will
much
advance
the
Glory
of
Almighty
God
,
the
everlasting
Honour
of
your
Majesty
,
the
Safety
of
your
Kingdoms
,
and
the
incouragement
of
all
your
good
Subjects
)
We
do
most
humbly
beseech
your
Majesty
to
vouchsafe
a
gracious
Answer
.
The
King
was
prepared
for
the
Petition
,
The
King
prepared
for
it
.
having
given
his
own
Resolution
the
Check
at
present
;
that
whatsoever
he
might
do
hereafter
,
yet
now
he
would
comply
;
and
therefore
he
sends
for
both
Houses
to
Whitehall
,
to
sweeten
them
with
a
gentle
answer
to
this
Petition
,
that
might
take
off
those
sour
aspersions
that
this
miscarriage
in
Government
might
happily
cast
upon
him
.
And
we
will
not
say
but
his
intentions
might
rove
towards
the
End
,
though
he
gave
too
much
liberty
(
through
a
Natural
easiness
in
himself
)
to
those
that
He
trusted
with
Management
of
the
great
affairs
,
by
evil
means
to
pervert
that
end
;
which
made
him
guilty
of
their
Actions
:
For
where
true
Piety
is
not
the
Director
,
Carelesness
as
often
as
Wilfulness
carries
men
out
of
the
way
.
But
he
had
this
Principle
,
and
made
often
use
of
it
,
(
like
ill
Tenants
when
they
let
things
run
to
ruin
)
to
daub
all
up
again
,
when
forced
to
it
,
and
find
no
other
Remedy
.
This
was
the
effect
of
what
he
said
in
his
own
excuse
.
My
Lords
and
Gentlemen
of
both
Houses
,
I
cannot
but
commend
your
Zeal
,
in
offering
this
Petition
to
me
;
yet
on
the
other
side
,
I
cannot
but
hold
my Self
unfortunate
,
that
I
should
be
thought
to
need
a
Spur
to
do
that
which
my
Conscience
,
and
Duty
,
binds
me
unto
.
What
Religion
I
am
of
,
The
Kings
answers
to
the
Parliaments
Petitions
,
23.
Apt.
my
Books
do
declare
,
my
Profession
,
and
Behaviour
doth
shew
,
and
I
hope
in
God
I
shall
never
live
to
be
thought
otherwise
;
surely
I
shall
never
deserve
it
:
And
for
my
part
I
wish
it
may
be
written
in
Marble
,
and
remain
to
Posterity
as
a
mark
upon
me
,
when
I
shall
swerve
from
my
Religion
:
For
he
that
doth
dissemble
with
God
,
is
not
to
be
trusted
with
Men.
My
Lords
,
for
my
part
,
I
protest
before
God
,
That
my
Heart
hath
bled
when
I
have
heard
of
the
increase
of
Popery
.
God
is
my
judge
,
it
hath
been
such
a
great
grief
to
me
,
that
it
hath
been
as
Thorns
in
my
Eyes
,
and
Pricks
in
my
Sides
,
and
so
for
ever
I
have
been
and
shall
be
from
turning
another
way
.
And
my
Lords
and
Gentlemen
,
you
shall
be
my
Confessors
,
that
one
way
or
other
it
hath
been
my
Desire
to
hinder
the
growth
of
Popery
,
and
I
could
not
be
an
honest
Man
,
if
I
should
have
done
otherwise
;
And
this
I
may
say
further
,
That
if
I
be
not
a
Martyr
,
I
am
sure
I
am
a
Confessor
,
and
in
some
sense
I
may
be
called
a
Martyr
,
as
in
the
Scripture
,
Isaac
was
Persecuted
by
Ismael
,
by
mocking
Words
,
for
never
King
suffered
more
ill
Tongues
than
I
have
done
,
and
I
am
sure
for
no
cause
;
yet
I
have
been
far
from
Persecution
,
for
I
have
ever
thought
,
that
no
way
increased
any
Religion
more
than
Persecution
,
according
to
that
Saying
,
Sanguis
Martyrum
est
Semen
Ecclesiae
.
Now
my
Lords
and
Gentlemen
,
for
your
Petition
;
I
will
not
onely
grant
the
Substance
of
what
you
craved
,
but
add
somewhat
more
of
my
own
.
For
the
Two
Treaties
being
already
anulled
(
as
I
have
declared
them
to
be
)
it
necessarily
follows
of
it self
,
that
which
you
desire
,
and
therefore
it
needs
no
more
,
but
that
I
do
declare
by
Proclamation
,
(
which
I
am
ready
to
do
)
That
all
Jesuits
,
and
Priests
,
do
depart
by
a
Day
;
but
it
cannot
be
as
you
desire
,
by
Our
Proclamation
to
be
out
of
all
my
Dominions
;
for
a
Proclamation
here
,
extends
but
to
this
Kingdom
.
This
I
will
do
,
and
more
,
I
will
Command
all
my
Judges
,
when
they
go
their
Circuits
,
to
keep
the
same
Courses
,
for
putting
all
the
Laws
in
Execution
against
Recusants
,
as
they
were
wont
to
do
,
before
these
Treaties
:
for
the
Laws
are
still
in
force
,
and
were
never
dispensed
with
by
me
.
God
is
my
judge
,
they
were
never
so
intended
by
me
.
But
as
I
told
you
in
the
beginning
of
the
Parliament
,
you
must
give
me
leave
as
a
good
Horse-man
sometimes
to
use
the
Reins
,
and
not
always
to
use
the
Spurs
.
So
now
there
needs
nothing
but
my
Declaration
for
the
disarming
of
them
,
that
is
already
done
by
the
Laws
,
and
shall
be
done
as
you
desired
.
And
more
,
I
will
take
order
for
the
shameful
disorder
of
the
Resorting
of
my
Subjects
to
all
forein
Ambassadours
;
of
this
I
will
advise
with
my
Council
how
it
may
be
best
reformed
.
It
is
true
,
that
the
Houses
of
Ambassadors
are
privileged
places
,
and
though
they
cannot
take
them
out
of
their
Houses
,
yet
the
Lord
Mayor
,
and
Mr.
Recorder
of
London
,
may
take
some
of
them
as
they
come
from
thence
,
and
make
them
Examples
.
Another
Point
I
will
add
,
concerning
the
Education
of
their
Children
,
of
which
I
have
had
a
principal
care
,
as
the
Lord
of
Canterbury
,
and
the
Bishop
of
Winchester
,
and
other
Lords
of
my
Council
can
bear
me
witness
,
with
whom
I
have
advised
about
this
Business
:
For
in
good
faith
it
is
a
shame
their
Children
should
be
bred
here
,
as
if
they
were
at
Rome
.
So
I
do
grant
not
onely
your
Desire
,
but
more
:
I
am
sorry
I
was
not
the
first
mover
of
it
to
you
;
But
had
you
not
done
it
,
I
should
have
done
it
my self
.
Now
for
the
second
part
of
your
Petition
;
You
have
there
given
me
the
best
advice
in
the
World
;
For
it
is
against
the
Rule
of
Wisdom
,
that
a
King
should
suffer
any
of
his
Subjects
to
transgress
the
Laws
,
by
the
intercession
of
other
Princes
;
and
therefore
assure
your selves
,
that
(
by
the
Grace
of
God
)
I
will
be
careful
that
no
such
Conditions
be
foisted
in
upon
any
other
Treaty
whatsoever
:
For
it
is
fit
my
Subjects
should
stand
or
fall
to
their
own
Laws
.
If
the
King
had
seriously
and
really
considered
the
Minute
of
this
Petition
,
The
King
promises
much
,
performs
little
.
the
very
last
Clause
,
wherein
the
Glory
of
God
,
and
the
Safety
of
his
Kingdoms
,
so
much
consisted
,
as
the
Parliament
wisely
express
,
and
foresee
,
and
which
the
King
saith
is
the
best
Advice
in
the
World
,
and
which
he
promised
so
faithfully
to
observe
in
the
next
Treaty
of
Marriage
for
his
Son
,
it
might
perhaps
have
kept
the
Crown
upon
the
Head
of
his
Posterity
.
But
when
Princes
break
with
the
People
,
in
those
Promises
that
concern
the
Honour
of
God
,
God
will
let
their
people
break
with
them
to
their
Ruin
and
Dishonour
.
And
this
Maxim
holds
in
all
Powers
,
whether
Kingdoms
or
Common
Wealths
;
As
they
are
established
by
Iustice
,
so
the
Iustice
of
Religion
which
tends
most
to
the
Glory
of
God
,
is
principally
to
be
observed
.
The
King
grants
them
more
than
they
desire
,
but
not
so
much
as
they
hope
for
:
they
have
many
good
words
thick
sown
,
but
they
produce
little
good
fruit
.
Yet
the
Parliament
followed
the
Chace
close
,
and
bolted
out
divers
of
the
Nobility
and
Gentry
of
Eminency
,
Popishly
affected
,
that
had
Earth'd
themselves
in
Places
of
high
Trust
and
Power
in
the
Kingdom
,
as
if
they
meant
to
under-mine
the
Nation
.

But
the
Iesuitical
Party
,
both
here
,
and
there
,
were
incessantly
laborious
for
a
greater
Liberty
,
and
the
King
's
chief
Agent
in
the
Treaty
,
Monsieur
de
Vieuxvill
,
having
pulled
on
him
the
Odium
of
the
people
(
through
some
miscarriages
)
being
committed
Prisoner
by
the
King
,
to
protect
him
from
their
Rage
,
the
Cardinal
Richelieu
entring
then
into
his
Infancy
of
Favour
,
being
preferred
by
the
Queen-Mother
to
be
a
manager
of
the
Treaty
,
whose
Intimate
he
was
,
and
more
Stubborn
for
promoting
the
Catholique
Cause
,
yet
all
this
could
give
no
stop
to
the
Career
,
but
that
the
Match
would
be
made
up
upon
very
easie
Terms
.
But
when
the
King
of
France
understood
by
his
Ministers
,
and
Agents
in
England
,
how
eager
our
King
was
for
the
Match
,
(
for
he
desired
it
above
all
Earthly
Blessings
,
as
one
near
him
said
of
him
)
for
besides
the
Reproach
he
thought
would
fall
upon
him
by
another
Breach
,
he
should
lose
the
Glory
of
a
Conjunction
with
Kings
(
which
he
highly
wound
up
his
Opinion
to
)
to
Sublime
,
and
,
as
it
were
,
Deifie
his
Posterity
in
the
esteem
of
the
people
,
so
that
he
would
almost
submit
to
any
thing
,
rather
than
the
Match
should
not
go
forward
;
which
the
King
of
France
finding
,
he
bated
his
Humour
of
earnestness
for
it
,
and
descended
by
the
same
Steps
and
Degrees
that
he
found
his
Brother
King
advanced
to
it
;
and
got
several
great
Immunities
for
the
Papists
by
it
:
notwithstanding
all
Our
King
's
fair
Promises
to
the
Parliament
,
as
may
be
seen
by
those
Articles
,
seal'd
and
sworn
to
by
Our
King
,
some
few
Months
before
his
Death
.
But
a
little
before
this
,
(
when
the
Hopes
of
the
Match
with
France
began
to
bud
)
the
Earl
of
Carlile
was
sent
over
to
mature
,
and
Ripen
the
proceedings
with
the
Earl
of
Holland
,
to
bring
the
Treaty
to
some
perfection
,
yet
with
private
instructions
,
That
if
they
could
find
by
their
Spanish
Correspondencies
(
as
the
Earl
of
Carlile
was
a
little
Hispanioliz'd
)
that
the
Match
there
had
any
Probability
of
taking
effect
with
the
new
Propositions
;
that
then
they
should
proceed
no
further
in
the
French
Treaty
:
so
earnest
was
the
King
for
the
one
,
so
Violent
for
the
other
;
The
Sophisticate
Drugs
of
the
Spanish
Restitution
of
the
Palatinate
,
having
not
yet
lost
their
Operation
.
Thus
the
Ambition
of
Princes
(
that
devolve
all
their
Happiness
upon
glorious
Extractions
)
doth
choak
and
smother
those
Considerations
,
that
Religion
(
like
a
clear
light
)
discovers
to
be
but
gross
,
and
cloudy
Policy
,
which
vanishes
often
,
and
comes
to
nothing
.
The
Duke
of
Buckingham
swoln
with
Grandure
(
having
two
great
Props
to
support
him
)
doubted
not
to
Crush
any
thing
that
stood
in
his
way
,
The
Lord
Treasurer
questioned
in
Parliament
.
so
that
he
fell
very
heavily
upon
his
Cousen
the
Earl
of
Middlesex
,
Lord
Treasurer
;
for
he
remembred
how
he
repined
at
the
Moneys
that
were
spent
in
Spain
,
and
his
Comportment
to
him
since
his
coming
over
(
Middlesex
being
naturally
of
a
Sullen
and
proud
Humor
)
was
not
such
as
(
he
thought
)
did
become
his
Creature
:
Therefore
he
Resolved
to
bring
him
down
from
that
Height
he
had
placed
him
in
,
and
quickly
sound
the
means
to
do
it
.
For
great
Officers
that
dig
deep
in
Worldly
Treasures
,
have
many
Underminers
under
them
;
and
those
that
are
not
just
to
themselves
or
others
,
must
make
use
of
such
as
will
not
be
so
just
to
them
,
so
that
a
flaw
may
easily
be
found
,
whereby
a
great
Breach
may
be
made
.
And
as
Middlesex
had
not
Innocency
to
Iustifie
himself
,
so
he
wanted
Humility
whereby
others
might
Iustifie
him
,
which
made
him
fall
unpitied
.
The
Prince
(
that
was
Buckingham's
right
hand
)
took
part
against
him
in
the
House
of
Lords
,
where
he
was
Questioned
;
which
the
King
hearing
of
,
writes
to
the
Prince
from
New-Market
,
(
whither
he
often
retired
to
be
free
,
and
at
ease
from
comber
,
and
noise
of
Business
)
That
he
should
not
take
part
with
any
Faction
in
Parliament
against
the
Earl
of
Middlesex
,
but
to
reserve
himself
,
so
that
both
sides
might
seek
him
;
for
if
he
bandied
to
take
away
his
Servants
,
the
time
would
come
that
others
would
do
as
much
for
him
.
This
wise
Advice
speaks
Buckingham
a
little
declining
from
the
Meridian
of
the
King's
Favour
,
or
the
King
from
his
;
For
if
the
King
did
know
that
Buckingham
was
his
chief
Persecutor
,
it
could
not
but
relish
ill
with
the
Duke
to
have
the
King
plead
for
him
;
if
the
King
did
not
〈◊〉
know
,
there
was
not
then
that
intimacy
betwixt
them
that
used
to
be
.
But
the
Treasurer's
Actions
being
throughly
canvased
(
though
he
had
not
had
such
great
Enemies
)
he
was
found
guilty
of
such
misdemeanors
,
as
were
not
fit
for
a
Man
of
Honour
to
commit
,
so
that
the
Parliament
thought
to
Degrade
him
;
but
that
they
looked
on
as
an
ill
Precedent
.
But
though
they
took
not
away
his
Titles
of
Honour
in
Relation
to
his
Posterity
(
who
had
not
offended
)
yet
they
made
him
utterly
uncapable
of
sitting
in
the
House
of
Lords
as
a
Peer
.
And
for
his
fine
,
it
was
so
great
,
that
the
Duke
(
by
Report
)
got
Chelsie
House
out
of
him
for
his
part
of
it
.
There
was
an
odd
accident
hapned
in
Northampton-shire
while
this
Treasurer
was
in
his
Greatness
.
Harman's
story
One
Harman
a
rich
man
(
that
knew
not
well
how
to
make
use
of
his
Riches
)
having
some
bad
Tenants
,
and
being
informed
that
one
of
them
which
Owed
him
money
,
had
furnished
himself
to
go
to
a
Fair
,
to
buy
some
Provisions
for
his
accommodation
:
Harman
walks
(
as
by
accident
)
to
meet
him
in
the
way
to
the
Market
;
when
he
saw
his
Tenant
,
he
askt
him
for
his
Rent
;
the
man
(
that
was
willing
otherwise
to
dispose
of
his
money
)
denied
he
had
any
;
Yes
I
know
thou
hast
money
,
said
Harman
,
(
calling
him
by
his
Name
)
I
prithee
let
me
have
my
Rent
;
and
with
much
importunity
the
man
pulled
out
his
money
,
and
gave
all
,
or
the
most
part
of
it
to
his
Landlord
.
This
coming
to
some
Pragmatical
knowledg
,
the
poor
Man
was
advised
to
indict
his
Landlord
for
Robbing
him
,
and
taking
his
Money
from
him
,
in
the
High-way
;
which
he
did
,
and
Harman
for
his
Sordid
and
base
carriage
,
being
ill
beloved
in
the
Countrey
,
was
found
guilty
,
but
reprieved
by
the
Iudges
;
And
Harman
hearing
the
Lord
Treasurer
had
a
Secretary
of
his
Name
,
he
applied
himself
to
him
,
promising
to
give
him
all
his
Estate
(
having
no
Children
)
if
his
Lord
would
bring
him
out
of
the
Danger
he
was
in
;
which
the
Lord
Treasurer
by
his
power
with
the
King
did
effect
,
and
Harman
his
Man
within
a
short
time
after
(
by
the
other's
death
)
injoyed
an
ample
estate
.
The
King
being
a
good
Master
,
The
Lady
Finch
Viscountess
of
Maidstone
.
did
by
his
Bounty
much
indear
his
Servants
unto
him
,
and
seldom
denied
any
man
a
Reasonable
Sute
;
This
Treasurer
by
his
Greatness
also
procured
the
King
,
by
Patent
(
after
the
example
of
the
Countess
of
Buckingham
)
to
create
Elizabeth
,
the
Widow
of
Sir
Moyle
Fynch
of
Kent
,
Viscountess
of
Maidstone
,
A
Lady
of
a
great
Fortune
,
and
having
a
Mind
suitable
to
it
,
she
laid
the
Foundation
of
a
Noble
Family
,
intailing
not
onely
this
Title
,
but
in
the
next
King's
Reign
,
the
Earldom
of
Winchelsey
,
upon
her
now
flourishing
Posterity
.
But
it
is
thought
this
Treasurer
got
well
by
laying
the
ground-work
to
this
great
Structure
;
For
Copt-Hall
(
a
Noble
Seat
in
Essex
)
came
to
his
hand
from
this
Lady
at
a
small
value
;
which
is
the
principal
House
he
left
to
his
Family
.

While
these
things
were
in
Motion
,
Truth
that
comes
often
with
a
leaden-foot
,
Cruelty
at
Amboina
.
brought
News
out
of
the
East-Indies
,
that
the
year
1622.
gave
Birth
to
a
Mischief
of
so
horrid
a
countenance
(
for
a
private
one
)
that
no
Time
or
Age
could
Parallel
.
The
Dutch
(
while
the
English
,
their
great
Supporters
,
were
fighting
for
them
at
their
own
doors
)
grasping
at
all
the
Treasures
,
and
Spices
of
the
Eastern
World
,
had
not
only
wormed
out
the
Spaniards
,
and
Portugals
,
from
many
Islands
,
and
Colonies
there
,
but
(
unbounded
with
Covetousnes
and
Ambition
)
strove
to
hinder
their
Neighbours
,
and
best
friends
the
English
,
from
that
free
Commerce
with
the
Natives
they
ever
enjoyed
,
so
that
many
Bickerings
hapned
among
them
;
till
the
Controversie
was
taken
up
by
publick
Treaty
,
and
Stipulation
,
agreed
on
betwixt
Our
King
,
and
the
States
of
the
Netherlands
,
in
the
year
one
thousand
six
hundred
and
nineteen
.
And
according
to
this
agreement
,
the
English
,
being
as
they
thought
secure
,
planted
their
Factories
among
them
,
where
,
after
they
had
reaped
the
fruit
of
their
great
danger
,
and
hazard
,
for
some
two
years
with
much
grumbling
,
and
repining
,
the
Dutch
began
to
practise
their
utter
Extirpation
:
Not
by
a
Massacre
,
for
that
had
been
a
merciful
Mischief
,
but
by
torture
(
to
make
their
Cruelty
Iustice
)
in
so
horrid
and
savage
a
manner
,
as
if
they
had
sucked
their
Rage
from
Indian
Tigers
.
Amboina
was
the
bloody
Stage
where
they
acted
this
black
Tragedie
;
The
English
accused
of
Treason
.
and
Fire
,
and
Water
,
were
their
Engins
;
which
are
ever
cruel
Masters
when
they
get
Power
.
For
pretending
the
chief
Agent
Captain
Gabriel
Towerson
,
and
the
rest
of
the
English
Factory
,
had
an
intention
by
the
assistance
of
some
few
poor
Iaponeses
,
to
possess
themselves
of
the
Castle
,
and
expel
the
Dutch
out
of
the
Island
,
they
seized
upon
them
,
and
set
their
bloody
Engins
a
work
,
having
no
other
Accusers
but
them
.
The
racks
extending
their
Sinews
,
drew
them
out
at
length
,
and
the
waters
which
they
subtilly
forced
into
their
Mouths
,
by
their
own
respiration
,
and
breathing
,
swelled
all
their
Bodies
to
a
huge
Proportion
,
making
their
very
eyes
ready
to
bolt
out
of
their
Heads
;
and
such
whose
sturdy
innocence
would
not
be
compelled
to
accuse
themselves
,
they
burned
the
soles
of
their
feet
with
candles
,
till
the
moisture
which
dropt
from
them
extinguished
the
flame
,
and
with
those
burning
instruments
made
such
holes
in
their
sides
,
that
they
might
see
their
entrails
,
yet
would
not
see
their
innocence
.
So
exquisite
were
they
in
their
Devillish
Cruelty
,
as
will
be
gastly
to
express
,
what
was
it
then
to
suffer
!
Thus
having
tired
the
poor
Men
with
Tortures
,
and
they
being
willing
to
the
quickly
,
confest
whatsoever
their
cruel
Tormentors
would
have
them
say
.
The
Dutch
having
in
this
furnace
wrought
them
to
accuse
themselves
,
with
their
pestilent
formality
,
got
their
Confessions
under
their
hands
,
and
so
concluded
their
Barbarism
,
with
cutting
off
some
of
their
heads
.
The
improbability
of
the
Attempt
by
the
English
.
There
were
not
twenty
Englishmen
,
nor
above
thirty
Iaponeses
in
the
whole
Island
,
with
whom
they
were
said
to
machinate
this
Conspiracy
,
and
the
Castle
had
in
it
two
hundred
Dutch
Souldiers
,
and
eight
Ships
riding
before
it
well
manned
,
whereof
two
of
them
were
above
twelve
hundred
tuns
a
peece
;
Besides
,
the
Dutch
had
two
other
Castles
in
the
same
Island
;
and
what
Probability
could
there
be
(
if
the
Plot
were
as
plain
as
their
Malicious
tongues
could
make
it
)
that
so
weak
a
force
should
attempt
upon
so
many
,
having
Men
enough
in
the
Ships
and
Castles
,
to
have
devoured
the
Attempters
?
And
if
they
had
effected
their
work
,
what
would
the
end
have
been
,
but
ruin
to
their
Estates
,
and
everlasting
Infamy
to
their
Memories
?
knowing
the
Dutch
were
by
the
last
agreements
to
have
that
Castle
,
1619
confirmed
by
the
King
,
who
hated
Treason
in
any
Man
,
with
his
very
Soul
.
Whereas
the
Men
were
of
well-known
,
upright
conversation
,
loathing
such
baseness
,
and
every
man
of
them
with
Christian
impressions
,
sealed
the
last
Gasp
of
his
life
with
a
Protestation
of
his
Innocency
.
Ten
of
the
English
lost
their
lives
,
whereof
Captain
Towerson
was
one
;
the
rest
with
racked
,
burnt
,
and
Macerated
Bodies
were
sent
out
of
the
Island
to
other
English
Plantations
,
and
so
the
whole
Factory
was
destroyed
:
The
Dutch
seizing
into
their
hands
greedily
(
which
they
only
gaped
after
)
the
whole
Trade
,
which
they
have
eversince
injoyed
.
And
to
put
a
fairer
Gloss
upon
this
mad
mischief
,
nine
Iaponeses
,
and
one
Portugal
,
that
they
would
needs
have
to
be
Complotters
with
the
English
,
were
racked
(
poor
men
)
to
the
same
Confession
,
and
then
executed
;
there
being
more
Horror
in
the
examination
of
the
fault
,
than
in
the
Punishment
of
it
.
This
Cruelty
had
made
an
incurable
wound
betwixt
the
two
Nations
(
the
noise
of
it
giving
Animosity
enough
)
but
that
it
was
new
skin'd
over
,
the
bloody
Garment
taken
off
by
Dutch
Apologies
,
and
presented
at
the
Court
with
a
face
of
Iustice
.
For
nothing
must
come
thither
but
in
such
attire
,
as
the
great
Ones
about
the
King
will
please
to
put
upon
it
;
who
might
be
wrought
to
any
temper
by
that
Forge
that
could
frame
such
flagitious
Actions
:
for
they
that
had
Babarism
enough
to
perpetrate
the
one
,
had
Baseness
enough
to
practice
the
other
.
But
leaving
their
Consciences
besmeared
with
this
Gore
,
which
they
cannot
wipe
off
,
but
may
stick
to
them
yet
,
Proceed
to
the
Story
.
All
this
while
count
Mansfeldt
wanted
imployment
,
and
having
prepared
his
way
both
in
France
and
England
,
for
gathering
an
Army
,
he
shipt
himself
in
Zealand
,
in
the
Speedwel
(
a
ship
of
King
's
,
commanded
by
Sir
Iohn
Chidley
)
that
was
sent
expressly
for
his
transport
,
which
in
going
out
,
run
upon
the
Sands
,
and
was
with
the
violence
of
foul
weather
,
split
in
pieces
:
Mansfeldt
,
and
some
of
his
followers
,
with
difficulty
escaping
in
her
long
Boat
,
Mansfeldt
goes
into
England
.
got
aboard
a
Pink
that
brought
him
into
England
;
the
Captain
and
the
rest
of
the
company
attending
the
Ships
fate
,
were
swallowed
up
in
the
Sea
.
While
Mansfeldt
remained
in
England
,
after
some
few
nights
he
was
lodged
at
Saint
Iames's
the
Prince's
house
,
served
and
attended
in
great
State
,
by
some
of
the
King's
Officers
,
and
feasted
by
divers
of
the
Nobility
with
much
magnificence
;
In
which
time
a
Press
went
through
the
Kingdom
,
for
raising
twelve
thousand
foot
,
which
with
some
Cavalry
that
Mansfeldt
expected
in
Germany
,
and
France
,
would
make
up
the
Body
of
a
considerable
Army.
Mansfeldt's
design
was
to
go
into
Germany
,
through
France
,
and
he
had
fair
Promises
from
thence
,
not
only
of
admission
to
pass
through
the
Country
,
but
assistance
from
it
.
These
12000
were
digested
into
Six
Regiments
.
The
Collonels
were
the
Earl
of
Lincoln
,
Forces
raised
for
him
.
The
Lord
Doncaster
eldest
Son
to
the
Earl
of
Carlile
,
The
Lord
Cromwel
,
Sir
Charles
Rich
,
Sir
Iohn
Burrows
late
Governour
of
Frankendale
,
and
Collonel
Grey
a
Scotchman
,
that
had
been
an
old
German
Commander
,
one
that
affected
Buff
in
the
time
of
Peace
,
and
wore
it
in
the
face
of
the
Court
;
which
the
King
seeing
him
in
,
and
a
case
of
Pistols
at
his
girdle
(
which
he
never
well
liked
of
)
he
told
him
merrily
,
He
was
now
so
fortified
,
that
if
he
were
but
well
victualled
,
he
would
be
impregnable
.
Two
Troops
of
Horse
were
also
raised
for
this
service
,
the
Earl
of
Lincoln
had
the
command
of
the
one
,
and
one
Gunter
,
an
ordinary
Horse-Rider
,
was
thought
the
fittest
man
to
command
the
other
;
as
if
none
could
command
Horse
,
but
such
as
could
make
them
curvet
in
a
Riding-House
.
And
the
Ignorance
of
these
times
shews
,
that
unpractical
Reason
cannot
put
forth
itself
to
the
height
,
being
bound
up
for
want
of
Exercise
;
for
we
set
a
Valuation
and
esteem
upon
German
and
French
Horse
,
when
(
like
them
)
we
knew
not
our
own
strength
,
for
there
are
not
in
the
World
a
more
gallant
Cavalry
,
both
for
the
Activity
of
the
Riders
,
and
Ability
of
the
Horses
,
than
may
be
formed
in
England
,
as
experience
hath
lately
demonstrated
.
These
being
already
in
Kent
for
Transport
about
the
beginning
of
February
,
The
design
ruined
.
and
Shipping
provided
,
the
French
began
to
falter
in
their
Promises
,
(
notwithstanding
Our
intimate
Correspondence
by
the
Treaty
of
Marriage
agreed
on
)
pleading
many
inconveniencies
,
in
the
passing
of
an
Army
through
the
Country
,
and
the
more
,
because
Our
Men
were
so
unruly
in
Kent
(
where
some
of
them
were
tryed
by
Marshal-Law
)
what
would
they
be
then
in
a
strange
Country
?
These
being
but
demurs
,
not
denials
,
the
whole
Army
is
Shipped
,
and
put
over
to
Callais
,
to
wait
the
French
leisure
;
but
the
charge
of
Shipping
(
being
above
a
hundred
Sail
that
attended
that
service
)
required
more
speed
,
than
their
faint
and
sickly
Promises
did
expedite
:
for
the
French
dallying
with
them
,
and
delaying
them
,
happily
upon
Design
(
the
Queen
of
France
being
then
more
affected
to
the
Spanish
,
and
a
less
enemy
to
her
blood
and
kindred
,
than
they
have
found
her
since
)
after
a
long
stay
,
Mansfeldt
was
forced
to
leave
the
hopes
of
his
French
Horse
,
and
sail
with
his
Army
into
Zealand
.
There
the
Soldiers
lay
at
the
Ramkins
a
long
time
in
their
Ships
,
not
suffered
to
land
:
for
the
States
not
dreaming
of
such
a
Body
of
men
,
could
not
determine
suddenly
what
to
do
with
them
;
besides
,
the
Inland
waters
being
frozen
,
Provisions
would
grow
short
for
their
own
Army
,
much
more
for
them
.
After
some
stay
in
Zealand
,
they
sailed
up
to
Guertenberg
in
Brabant
,
which
Town
being
not
well
provided
with
Victuals
,
they
were
not
suffered
to
land
,
but
continuing
on
Shipboard
,
the
Ships
stuffed
and
pestred
with
men
,
wanting
Meat
,
and
all
manner
of
Necessaries
,
such
a
Stench
and
Pestilence
grew
among
them
,
that
they
were
thrown
into
the
Sea
by
multitudes
,
so
that
many
hundreds
(
if
I
may
not
say
thousands
)
beaten
upon
Shores
,
had
their
bowels
eaten
out
with
Dogs
and
Swine
,
to
the
Horror
of
the
Beholders
.
Those
bodies
that
drive
up
near
those
Towns
where
the
English
were
,
had
great
pits
made
for
them
,
wherein
(
being
thrown
by
heaps
)
they
were
cover'd
with
earth
,
but
upon
those
shores
where
they
were
neglected
,
(
as
they
were
in
many
parts
of
Holland
)
a
great
Contagion
followed
.
And
of
Mansfeldt's
twelve
thousand
men
,
scarce
the
moity
landed
.
This
Winter
Quarter
at
Rosendale
,
was
also
fatal
to
the
Earl
of
Southampton
,
The
death
of
the
Earl
of
Southampton
and
his
son
.
and
the
Lord
Wriothsley
his
Son
.
Being
both
sick
there
together
,
of
burning
Feavers
,
the
violence
of
which
distemper
wrought
most
vigorously
upon
the
heat
of
youth
,
overcoming
the
Son
first
,
and
the
drooping
Father
having
overcome
the
feaver
,
departed
from
Rosendale
with
an
intention
to
bring
his
Son's
body
into
England
,
but
at
Berghen
ap
Zome
he
dyed
of
a
Lethargy
in
the
view
and
presence
of
the
Relator
,
and
were
both
in
one
small
bark
brought
to
Southampton

suspected
to
be
poisoned
;
the
Symptoms
being
very
presumptuous
,
his

body
swelling

an
excessive
greatness

being
all

came
off

brought
the
Skin
with
them
;
and
there
was
a
great
Clamor
of
it
about
the
Court
,
so
that
Doctors
were
sent
to
view
the
Body
,
but
the
matter
was
hudled
up
,
and
little
spoken
of
it
,
only
Doctor
Eglisham
a
Scotch-man
,
was
something
bitter
against
the
Duke
,
as
if
he
had
been
the
Author
of
it
.
The
Marquesses
Son
had
a
little
before
married
the
Earl
of
Denbigh's
Daughter
,
who
was
the
Duke
of
Buckingham's
Neece
,
and
yet
this
Tie
could
not
oblige
a
friendship
betwixt
them
,
because
thee
Marquess
was
averse
to
the
Marriage
.
This
Distance
,
and
other
Discontents
,
occasioned
some
tumorous
Discourses
,
which
reflected
much
upon
the
Duke
,
but
they
never
broke
out
in
this
King's
time
,
being
bound
up
close
(
as
it
was
thought
)
more
by
the
Duke's
Power
than
his
Innocency
.
And
not
long
after
him

whether
our
King's
care
for
his
Grand-children
,
or
the
hazard
and
danger
of
his
own
Person
at
home
(
being
ever
full
of
fears
)
or
his
ingagement
in
a
War
abroad
,
The
death
of
the
King
.
(
being
contrary
to
his
very
Nature
)
or
whether
his
full
feeding
and
continual
use
of
sweet
Wines
,
(
which
he
abundantly
affected
)
set
the
gross
Humors
a
work
,
or
what
other
Accident
caused
his
Distemper
is
uncertain
;
but
he
fell
sick
of
a
Tertian
Ague
,
which
is
not
dangerous
in
the
Spring
(
if
we
believe
the
Proverb
)
and
had
some
few
fits
of
it
.
After
which
he
fell
into
a
Feaver
,
which
was
too
violent
for
him
.
A
little
before
his
Death

he
called
for
the

something

the

up

himself
up

old
Maurice
the
Prince
of

died
;
And
his
Brother
Prince
Henry
(
being
made
General
of
the
States
Army
)
put
his
Fortune
into
an
unhappy
Ballance
,
which
lost
much
of
the
Weight
.
For
either
valuing
his
Soldiers
lives
less
than
his
Brother
,

loss
of
so
brave
a

Phoenix-like
)
from
the
ashes
of
his
Brothers
funerals
(
being
recruited
with
the
Relicks
of
Mansfeldt's
Army
)
he
set
upon
one
of
Spinola's
strong
Works
,
at
Terheiden
,
either
to
relieve
the
Town
,
or
beat
the
Enemy
out

Trenches
;
but
he
failed
in
both
,
and
lost
many
gallant
Men
(
especially
English
)
in
the
Enterprise
.
The
Earl
of
Oxford
having
the
leading
of
the
Van
(
being
a
man
Corpulent
,
and
heavy
)
got
such
a
sweltring

though
he

The

he
brought
Death
along

he

The
other
two
gallant
Collonels
,
Essex
,
and
Willoughby
,
survived
to
command
two
English
Armies
in
a
Civil-War
;
Essex
being
General
for
the
Paliament
,
and
Willoughby
for
the
King
,
in
Kinton-field
in
Warwick-shire
;
where
Essex

his
General
Willoughby

But
Our
King
that
was
very
much
impatient
in
his
Health
,
was
patient
in
his
Sickness
,
and
Death
.
Whether
he
had
receibed
any
thing
that
extorted
his
Aguish
Fits
into
a
Feaver
,
which
might
the
sooner
stupifie
the
Spirits
,
The
King
patient
in
sickness
.
and
hasten
his
end
,
cannot
be
asserted
;
but
the
Countess
of
Buckingham
(
who
trafficked
much
with
Mountebanks
,
and
whose
Fame
had
no
great
savour
)
had
been
tampering
with
him
,
in
the
absence
of
the
Docto●s
,
and
had
given
him
a
Medicine
to
drink
,
and
laid
a
Plaster
to
his
side
,
which
the
King
much
complained
of
,
and
they
did
rather
exasperate
his
Distemper
than
allay
it
:
and
these
things
were
admitted
by
the
insinuating
persuasions
of
the
Duke
her
Son
,
who
told
the
King
they
were
appoved
Medicines
,
and
would
do
him
much
good
.
And
though
the
Duke
after
strove
to
purge
himself
for
this
Application
,
as
having
received
both
Medicine
and
Plaster
,
from
Doctor
Remington
,
at
Dunmow
in
Essex
,
who
had
often
cured
Agues
,
and
such
Distempers
with
the
same
;
yet
they
were
Arguments
of
a
complicated
kind
,
not
easie
to
unfold
;
considering
that
whatsoever
he
received
from
the
Doctor
in
the
Countrey
he
might
apply
to
the
King
what
he
pleased
in
the
Court
;
besides
the
Act
it self
(
though
it
had
been
the
best
Medicine
in
the
World
)
was
a
Daring
not
justisiable
;
and
some
of
the
King's
Physicians
mutter'd
against
it
,
others
made
a
great
noise
,
and
were
forced
to
fly
for
it
;
and
though
the
still
voice
was
quickly
silenced
by
the
Duke's
power
,
yet
the
Clamorous
made
so
deep
impressions
that
his
Innocence
could
never
wear
them
out
.
And
one
of
Buckingham's
great
provocations
was
thought
to
be
his
fear
,
that
the
King
being
how
weary
of
his
too
much
greatness
,
and
power
,
would
set
up
Bristol
his
deadly
enemy
against
him
,
to
pull
him
down
.
And
this
Medicine
was
one
of
those
13
Articles
that
after
were
laid
to
his
Charge
in
Parliament
,
who
may
be
misinformed
,
but
seldom
accuse
any
upon
false
Rumor
,
or
bare
Suggestion
;
and
therefore
it
will
be
a
hard
task
for
any
man
to
excuse
the
King
his
Successor
,
for
dissolving
that
Parliament
,
to
preserve
one
that
was
accused
by
them
for
poisoning
his
Father
.
For
Doctor
Lamb
,
Lamb
a
Witch
.
a
man
of
an
infamous
conversation
(
having
been
arraigned
for
a
Witch
,
and
found
guilty
of
it
at
Worcester
;
and
arraigned
for
a
Rape
,
and
found
guilty
of
it
at
the
Kings-Bench-Bar
at
Westminster
,
yet
escaped
the
stroak
of
Iustice
for
both
,
by
his
favour
in
Court
)
was
much
imployed
by
the
Mother
;
and
the
Son
,
which
generally
the
people
took
notice
of
,
and
were
so
incensed
against
Lamb
,
that
finding
him
in
the
Streets
in
London
in
the
year
1628.
they
ro●e
against
him
,
and
with
stones
and
slaves
knockt
out
his
Brains
,
as
may
be
more
particularly
●elated
in
its
due
time
.
And
besides
Lamb
,
Butler
a
Mountebank
.
there
was
one
Butler
an
Irishman
(
which
vaunted
himself
to
be
of
the
house
of
Ormond
)
who
was
a
kind
of
Montebank
,
which
the
Duke
and
his
Mother
much
confided
in
.
This
Butler
was
first
an
Apprentice
to
a
Cutler
in
London
,
and
before
his
time
expired
quitted
his
Master
,
having
a
running
head
,
and
went
to
the
Barmudoes
,
where
he
lived
some
time
,
as
a
Servant
in
the
Island
,
and
walking
by
the
Sea-side
with
another
of
his
Companions
,
they
found
a
great
Mass
of
Ambergreece
,
that
the
Seas
bounty
had
cast
up
to
them
,
which
they
willingly
concealed
,
meaning
to
make
their
best
Markets
of
it
.
Butler
being
a
subtle
Snap
,
wrought
so
with
his
Companion
,
with
promises
of
a
share
,
that
he
got
the
possession
of
it
,
and
in
the
next
Dutch
ship
that
arrived
at
the
Barmudoes
,
he
shipt
himself
and
his
Commodities
for
Amsterdam
,
where
having
sold
his
Bargain
at
a
good
Rate
,
and
made
his
credit
with
his
fellow
Venturer
cheap
enough
,
ingrossing
all
to
himself
,
he
came
into
England
,
lived
in
a
gallant
,
and
noble
Equipage
,
kept
a
great
and
free
Table
,
at
his
lodgings
in
the
Strand
,
which
were
furnished
suitable
to
his
Mind
,
and
had
his
Coach
with
six
Horses
,
and
many
footmen
attending
on
him
,
with
as
much
State
,
and
Grandure
,
as
if
his
Greatness
had
been
real
:
But
though
his
means
lasted
not
to
support
this
long
,
yet
it
brought
him
into
great
acquaintance
,
and
being
Pragmatical
in
tongue
,
and
having
an
active
pate
,
he
fell
to
some
Distillations
,
and
other
odd
extracting
practices
,
which
kept
him
a
float
,
and
some
men
thought
he
had
gotten
the
(
long-dreamed-after
)
Philosopher's
Stone
;
but
the
best
Recipe
which
he
had
,
to
maintain
his
Greatness
after
his
Amber
money
fumed
and
vapoured
away
,
was
suspected
to
come
from
his
friends
at
White-Hall
;
And
the
Story
of
his
Death
(
if
it
be
true
)
is
one
great
Evidence
of
some
secret
Machination
,
betwixt
the
Duke
and
him
,
that
the
Duke
was
willing
to
be
rid
of
him
,
For
Mischief
,
being
an
ingrosser
,
is
Unsecure
,
and
Unsatisfyed
,
When
their
Wares
are
to
be
vented
in
many
Shops
.
Therefore
he
was
recommended
upon
some
plausible
occasion
by
the
Duke's
means
(
as
same
delivered
it
)
to
some
Iesuits
beyond
the
Seas
;
where
he
was
entertained
with
a
great
deal
of
specious
Ceremony
,
and
Respect
,
in
one
of
their
Colledges
,
or
Cloisters
;
and
at
Night
they
attending
him
to
his
Chamber
with
much
Civility
,
the
Chamber
being
hanged
with
Tapestry
,
and
Tapers
burning
in
stretcht-out
Arms
upon
the
Walls
,
and
when
they
gave
him
the
Goodnight
,
they
told
him
they
would
send
one
should
direct
him
to
his
lodging
,
and
they
were
no
sooner
out
of
this
Room
of
Death
,
But
the
floar
that
hung
upon
great
hinges
on
one
side
,
was
let
fall
by
Artificial
Engins
,
and
the
poor
Vermin
Butler
,
dropt
into
a
Precipice
,
where
he
was
never
more
heard
of
.
That
there
are
such
secret
Inquisition-Conveyances
,
of
a
horrid
Nature
,
is
obvious
,
and
such
close
contrivances
may
fly
up
and
down
upon
the
Wings
of
Rumor
,
but
it
is
impossible
to
find
out
the
bottom
of
such
black
Pitfals
,
but
with
as
much
danger
as
those
that
find
the
bitter
effects
of
them
.
And
this
was
reported
to
be
the
end
of
Butler
.
But
to
conclude
with
Our
King
,
The
Description
of
King
Iames.
whom
this
do
concern
.
He
was
born
a
King
,
and
from
that
heighth
,
the
less
fitted
to
look
into
inferiour
things
;
yet
few
escaped
his
Knowledge
,
being
,
as
it
were
a
Magazine
to
retain
them
.
His
Stature
was
of
the
Middle
Size
;
rather
tall
than
low
,
well
set
and
somewhat
plump
,
of
a
ruddy
Complexion
,
his
hair
of
a
light
brown
,
in
his
full
perfection
,
had
at
last
a
Tincture
of
white
.
If
he
had
any
predominant
Humour
to
ballance
his
Choler
,
it
was
sanguine
,
which
made
his
Mirth
Witty
.
His
Beard
was
scattering
on
his
Chin
,
and
very
thin
;
and
though
his
Clothes
were
seldom
fashioned
to
the
Vulgar
garb
,
yet
in
the
whole
man
he
was
not
uncomely
.
He
was
a
King
in
understanding
,
and
was
content
to
have
his
Subjects
ignorant
in
many
things
.
As
in
curing
the
Kings-Evil
,
which
he
knew
a
Device
,
to
aggrandize
the
Virtue
of
Kings
,
when
Miracles
were
in
fashion
;
but
he
let
the
World
believe
it
,
though
he
smiled
at
it
,
in
his
own
Reason
,
finding
the
strength
of
the
Imagination
a
more
powerful
Agent
in
the
Cure
,
than
the
Plasters
his
Chirurgions
prescribed
for
the
Sore
.
It
was
a
hard
Question
,
whether
his
Wisdom
,
and
knowledge
,
exceeded
his
Choler
,
and
Fear
;
certainly
the
last
couple
drew
him
with
most
violence
,
because
they
were
not
acquisititious
,
but
Natural
;
If
he
had
not
had
that
Allay
,
his
high
touring
,
and
mastering
Reason
,
had
been
of
a
Rare
,
and
sublimed
Excellency
;
but
these
earthy
Dregs
kept
it
down
,
making
his
Passions
extend
him
as
far
as
Prophaness
,
that
I
may
not
say
Blasphemy
,
and
Policy
superintendent
of
all
his
Actions
;
which
will
not
last
long
(
like
the
violence
of
that
Humour
)
for
it
often
makes
those
that
know
well
,
to
do
ill
,
and
not
be
able
to
prevent
it
.
He
had
pure
Notions
in
Conception
,
but
could
bring
few
of
them
into
Action
,
though
they
tended
to
his
own
Preservation
:
For
this
was
one
of
his
Apothegms
,
which
he
made
no
timely
use
of
.
Let
that
Prince
,
that
would
beware
of
Conspiracies
,
be
rather
jealous
of
such
,
whom
his
extraordinary
favours
have
advanced
,
than
of
those
whom
his
displeasure
hath
discontented
.
These
want
means
to
execute
their
Pleasures
,
but
they
have
means
at
pleasure
to
execute
their
desires
,
Ambition
to
rule
is
more
vehement
than
Malice
to
revenge
.
Though
the
last
part
of
this
Aphorism
,
he
was
thought
to
practice
too
soon
,
where
there
was
no
cause
for
prevention
,
and
neglect
too
late
,
when
time
was
full
ripe
to
produce
the
effect
.
Some
Parallel'd
him
to
Tiberius
for
Dissimulation
,
yet
Peace
was
maintained
by
him
as
in
the
Time
of
Augustus
;
And
Peace
begot
got
Plenty
,
and
Plenty
begot
Ease
and
Wantonness
,
and
Ease
and
Wantonness
begot
Poetry
,
and
Poetry
swelled
to
that
bulk
in
his
time
,
that
it
begot
strange
Monstrous
Satyrs
,
against
the
King
's
own
person
,
that
haunted
both
Court
,
and
Country
,
which
exprest
,
would
be
too
bitter
to
leave
a
sweet
perfume
behind
him
.
And
though
bitter
ingredients
are
good
to
imbalm
and
preserve
dead
Bodies
,
yet
these
were
such
as
might
indanger
to
kill
a
living
name
,
If
Malice
be
not
brought
in
with
an
Antidote
.
And
the
tongues
of
those
times
more
fluent
than
my
Pen
,
made
every
little
miscarriage
(
being
not
able
to
discover
their
true
Operations
,
like
small
seeds
hid
in
earthy
Darkness
)
grow
up
,
and
spread
into
such
exuberant
branches
,
that
evil
Report
did
often
pearch
upon
them
.
So
dangerous
it
is
for
Princes
,
by
a
Remiss
Comportment
,
to
give
growth
to
the
least
Error
;
for
it
often
proves
as
fruitful
as
Malice
can
make
it
.
But
alas
good
King
!
here
was
an
end
of
his
earthly
Empire
,
and
little
did
he
imagine
that
the
last
Period
to
great
Britain's
Monarchy
should
not
much
exceed
the
time
of
his
own
Reign
,
and
in
the
true
extent
come
short
of
it
.
Soli
Deo
Gloria
