Tawny-Scarfe
,
or
the
Answerer
of
the
Toung-Combat
to
the
Reader
.
IMpartiall
Reader
,
I
am
to
let
thee
vnderstand
by
way
of
Preface
,
that
there
was
no
other
conference
in
the
Tilt-boate
,
then
what
the
Authour
of
the
Tongue-Combate
himselfe
gaue
life
to
,
by
propounding
Arguments
,
and
stirring
opposition
,
howsoeuer
now
hee
would
hide
himselfe
behinde
a
third
person
,
as
if
he
only
were
the
Relater
or
Repeater
,
not
the
first
broacher
of
this
Word-warre
;
but
I
assure
thee
the
contrarie
,
vpon
the
faith
of
a
Souldier
.
As
for
that
which
hee
saith
concerning
the
names
of
the
Disputants
,
that
he
knew
them
not
,
and
therefore
was
forced
to
call
one
Red-scarfe
,
the
other
Tawny-scarfe
,
according
to
the
colour
of
their
Scarfes
,
must
thus
be
vnderstood
;
that
indeed
he
knew
not
my
name
,
and
for
his
owne
,
being
a
man
of
many
names
,
he
knew
not
which
to
assume
for
that
instant
,
but
that
some
of
the
companie
might
haue
knowne
him
by
another
,
worne
in
some
other
place
,
and
therefore
he
did
wisely
dye
himselfe
into
red
;
which
being
in
graine
,
will
without
blushing
warrant
any
falshood
,
and
outface
any
truth
.
This
I
let
thee
know
also
,
that
hee
began
the
Combate
,
though
he
giues
mee
the
honour
to
charge
;
and
that
hee
retired
somewhat
confusedly
in
the
end
,
though
he
saith
(
falsely
)
that
I
ran
away
.
This
shall
be
sufficient
for
a
touch
,
and
to
giue
thee
warning
of
the
rest
,
how
warily
thou
art
to
beleeue
him
.

It
seemeth
strange
vnto
me
,
that
any
of
our
Countrimen
should
rather
resolue
to
serue
the
King
of
Spaine
,
then
the
States
of
Holland
,
considering
how
long
their
Cause
and
Quarrell
had
beene
by
Englishmen
supported
,
and
the
number
of
our
Countrimen
that
continue
to
serue
on
that
Side
.
Red
scarfe
.
It
seemeth
as
strange
vnto
me
,
that
men
of
sense
and
vnderstanding
should
not
rather
regard
the
iustnesse
of
the
Cause
and
Quarrell
which
they
are
to
defend
,
(
especially
when
they
are
not
constrained
,
but
that
their
resolution
lyeth
in
their
owne
choyce
)
then
to
let
themselues
be
blind-folded
and
led
forward
by
sinister
suggestion
,
to
follow
the
vn-understanding
vulgar
Multitude
for
companie
or
custome
sake
,
because
they
haue
continued
so
long
a
time
to
serue
on
that
Side
,
without
knowing
or
caring
wherein
right
or
wrong
consisteth
.
Tawny-scarfe
.
What
care
had
those
,
I
pray
you
,
of
your
Religion
,
to
examine
the
iustnesse
of
the
Cause
in
the
warre
of
Ireland
,
when
they
assisted
the
King
of
Spayne
against
their
owne
Queene
and
Country
?
Or
those
of
France
in
the
holy
League
against
their
King
?
were
those
men
without
sense
or
vnderstanding
or
no
?
and
what
care
haue
you
all
,
in
matters
of
greater
moment
,
euen
such
as
concerne
the
saluation
of
your
soules
,
to
informe
your
vnderstandings
in
the
truth
?
Are
ye
not
blindly
led
on
by
your
forefathers
examples
,
and
by
the
multitudes
of
men
,
who
walke
your
broad
way
leading
to
perdition
?
How
then
can
you
blame
vs
,
if
in
matters
of
lesse
consequence
,
we
should
by
your
authorities
bee
remisse
?
Of
all
others
it
sorts
not
you
to
reprooue
vs.
Yet
you
must
not
thinke
,
that
the
first
resolution
taken
for
the
assistance
of
the
Hollanders
,
was
without
good
consideration
of
the
iustnesse
of
their
cause
;
and
the
same
beeing
once
begun
and
continued
,
what
needed
further
doubt
or
scruple
be
made
thereof
by
the
after-followers
of
it
?
Red-scarfe
.
Because
it
is
no
Article
of
faith
,
to
beleeue
that
the
first
resolution
taken
in
England
for
the
assisting
of
the
Hollanders
,
was
not
without
good
consideration
of
the
iustnesse
of
their
cause
,
diuers
haue
since
penetrated
into
it
,
to
see
whether
it
were
so
or
not
,
but
could
not
so
finde
it
,
and
therefore
those
you
speake
of
,
that
haue
followed
it
without
scruple
,
haue
beene
people
that
were
not
scrupulous
at
all
:
for
there
is
no
cause
be
it
neuer
so
bad
,
but
some
will
be
found
,
without
any
scruple
,
willing
to
follow
it
.
Tawny-scarfe
.
Had
it
beene
warranted
with
a
Bull
from
Rome
,
as
the
Irish
warre
was
,
then
you
durst
not
haue
vnsealed
that
secret
to
examine
the
iustnesse
of
it
,
but
would
haue
beleeued
it
as
an
article
of
faith
,
(
for
the
articles
of
your
faith
ate
in
your
Popes
bosome
)
and
perhaps
obayed
it
too
,
before
the
Commandements
of
God
.
But
now
you
pretend
to
haue
penetrated
the
bottome
,
to
censure
such
as
are
contrary
minded
,
and
to
find
fault
with
the
ground
of
a
Councell
,
which
you
vnderstand
not
.
Red-scarfe
.
If
the
Cause
of
the
Hollanders
by
any
vndisprooueable
reasons
of
yours
,
shall
appeare
vnto
me
to
be
iust
,
I
shall
not
onely
be
sorry
for
mine
error
,
in
not
apprehending
it
so
to
be
,
but
resolue
to
goe
along
with
your selfe
into
their
seruice
.
Tawny-scarfe
.
As
for
your
company
,
assure
your selfe
I
seeke
it
not
:
we
haue
too
many
already
that
we
cannot
trust
.
And
for
perswading
you
to
see
and
be
sorrie
for
your
error
,
it
is
in
vaine
for
me
to
hope
to
worke
such
a
miracle
.
I
know
right
well
,
the
bright
Sunne
makes
Moles
the
more
blinde
;
and
such
as
you
,
who
(
I
feare
)
haue
scared
and
peruerted
consciences
,
wil
sooner
beleeue
lyes
then
truth
:
so
that
all
the
euidence
I
shall
bring
to
cleare
this
point
,
will
but
make
you
the
more
obstinate
and
wilfull
;
and
I
might
hope
to
draw
you
farther
with
a
fained
Legend
,
then
with
lines
drawne
from
the
Booke
of
life
it selfe
.
Yet
since
you
desire
to
trie
your
strength
,
(
for
I
know
you
are
armed
and
studied
to
oppose
)
I
produce
three
reasons
,
inducing
Queene
Elizabeth
of
happy
Memorie
,
to
assist
the
States
Generall
in
these
warres
against
the
King
of
Spayne
.
1
The
first
,
was
the
oppression
and
wrong
done
them
by
the
King
of
Spayne
,
both
in
violating
their
auncient
and
laudable
Lawes
,
Priuiledges
,
and
Liberties
,
(
euen
such
as
were
fundamentall
,
vpon
which
the
State
stood
as
vpon
a
base
)
as
also
in
tyrannizing
ouer
their
consciences
by
a
most
bloody
and
barbarous
Inquisition
.
2
The
second
reason
was
,
because
they
were
our
old
sure
friends
,
and
had
bin
so
,
before
they
had
Earles
,
much
more
before
the
Spanish
Title
in
those
Parts
;
and
we
desired
still
to
keepe
them
our
neere
neighbours
,
rather
then
to
change
them
for
new
friends
,
more
remote
both
in
affection
and
manners
,
whose
propinquity
we
desired
not
,
beholding
it
dangerous
to
Portugall
,
Naples
,
and
all
other
Nations
,
as
ayming
at
an
vniuersall
Monarchy
.
Especially
Queene
Elizabeth
saw
the
perill
,
so
great
a
neighbour
might
bring
to
Her
and
her
State
,
when
shee
and
her
Kingdomes
onely
lay
as
a
blocke
in
the
way
,
to
breake
the
necke
of
His
intended
Greatnesse
.
3
The
third
motiue
and
the
greatest
,
which
outwent
matter
of
State
,
was
the
maintenance
of
the
Gospel
,
and
peaceable
state
of
the
true
reformed
Church
,
which
began
there
to
inlarge
it selfe
;
and
whereof
as
shee
was
styled
,
so
shee
intended
to
prooue
her selfe
(
and
performed
what
she
intended
)
A
true
Desendresse
of
the
Faith
.
Red-scarfe
.
You
haue
here
alledged
sundry
reasons
to
haue
caused
Queene
Elizabeth
to
take
the
Hollanders
parts
,
it
is
reason
then
,
that
if
so
be
I
cannot
allow
them
for
sufficient
reasons
,
I
prooue
them
not
so
to
bee
,
which
by
your
patience
and
permission
I
shall
be
able
to
doe
.
The
first
point
is
about
their
being
oppressed
and
wronged
by
the
King
of
Spayne
,
and
in
danger
to
bee
brought
vnder
the
seueritie
of
a
Spanish
Inquisition
.
That
these
people
liued
in
obedience
of
King
Philip
the
second
of
Spayne
,
as
did
all
other
the
inhabitants
of
the
seuenteene
Netherland
Prouinces
,
acknowledging
him
as
their
true
and
lawfull
Soueraigne
Lord
,
as
they
had
acknowledged
his
Ancestors
before
him
,
from
whom
hee
successiuely
inherited
those
Countries
,
no
man
can
make
any
doubt
or
question
.
The
question
then
is
,
whether
this
King
,
when
hee
came
to
the
possession
of
those
Countries
,
did
impose
vpon
the
people
any
pressures
,
more
then
his
former
Ancestors
had
done
;
but
who
is
able
to
shew
that
he
did
?
the
said
King
beeing
then
in
as
full
and
quiet
possession
of
all
those
Countries
,
as
euer
any
of
his
Ancestors
had
beene
;
and
departing
from
thence
into
Spaine
in
the
yeere
1559.
hee
left
none
of
his
Netherland
subiects
,
for
any
cause
of
innouation
,
in
any
thing
any
whit
disgusted
,
but
in
as
great
tranquilitie
as
euer
they
had
beene
.
He
left
behind
him
in
those
Countries
no
Spanish
Gouernours
nor
souldiers
,
but
gaue
the
particular
Gouernments
to
the
Nobilitie
of
the
Country
it selfe
,
and
the
generall
Gouernement
of
them
all
,
vnto
his
naturall
sister
the
Duchesse
of
Parma
,
beeing
of
the
same
Countrey
borne
:
what
wrong
in
any
respect
was
here
done
them
?
who
complained
of
any
wrong
?
why
was
not
the
good
peace
and
reciprocall
loue
betwixt
this
King
and
his
Netherland
subiects
continued
?
who
began
the
breach
?
what
actions
of
innouation
caused
it
?
proceeded
it
from
this
Prince
,
or
from
the
Netherland
people
?
When
no
thought
or
cogitation
was
in
this
Kings
minde
of
any
breach
betweene
him
and
his
subiects
,
in
the
yeere
of
our
Lord
1566.
certaine
of
the
rascalitie
beeing
suggested
by
sedicious
Preachers
,
and
those
Preachers
set
on
by
some
of
the
Nobilitie
,
little
better
then
bankrupt
,
they
began
in
most
rebellious
rage
,
to
fall
to
the
robbing
and
spoyling
of
Churches
.
The
Duchesse
of
Parma
being
at
Bruxels
when
the
newes
of
this
outragious
and
generall
sacrilegious
theft
was
brought
vnto
her
,
was
much
amazed
thereat
,
and
demanded
of
the
Earle
of
Barlamont
,
(
who
then
was
present
)
what
they
were
that
had
done
this
,
whereunto
hee
answered
her
in
French
,
Ceste
sont
que
de
Geus
,
which
as
much
to
say
,
they
are
but
Rogues
or
Rascals
.
The
Church-robbers
,
and
those
that
set
them
on
worke
,
whereof
some
were
Gentlemen
,
(
though
much
vnworthy
of
that
title
)
hauing
gotten
notice
how
the
name
of
Geus
was
giuen
them
,
did
foorthwith
accept
of
the
name
,
and
wore
in
stead
of
brooches
on
their
hats
,
little
woodden
dishes
,
to
betoken
beggars
dishes
;
and
some
of
that
sort
did
afterwards
weare
Foxe
tailes
in
their
Hats
in
stead
of
feathers
;
so
as
it
seemeth
they
tooke
a
glorie
in
this
worthy
name
:
for
they
also
caused
a
print
or
stampe
of
a
Cocke
to
be
made
,
at
whose
mouth
the
words
Viue
les
Geus
par
tout
le
monde
were
set
downe
,
which
is
as
much
to
say
,
Liue
,
or
flourish
may
the
Rogues
ouer
all
the
world
:
and
the
paper-prints
or
pictures
taken
from
this
stamp
,
were
set
vp
in
all
houses
,
taphouses
,
and
tauernes
where
they
frequented
:
herehence
it
commeth
,
that
in
all
the
Low-countries
,
this
kinde
of
people
doe
vnto
this
day
,
beare
the
name
of
Geuses
,
howbeit
they
haue
since
beene
taught
to
call
themselues
the
Reformed
,
but
Protestants
they
neither
doe
,
nor
euer
did
call
themselues
.
Here
haue
you
the
originall
and
beginning
of
the
breach
betweene
the
King
of
Spaine
,
and
these
his
Netherland
subiects
;
and
as
touching
their
beeing
oppressed
and
wronged
by
the
King
of
Spayne
,
and
in
danger
to
be
brought
vnder
the
seueritie
of
the
Spanish
Inquisition
,
the
blame
that
the
King
of
Spaine
herein
deserueth
is
,
that
he
was
so
much
ouer-shot
,
that
when
hee
heard
of
their
breaking
downe
of
Altars
and
Images
in
Churches
,
of
their
robbing
and
carying
thence
of
siluer
Chalices
,
Paternes
,
Cruets
,
Candlestickes
,
Lampes
,
and
Reliquaries
,
with
the
Tapestrie
,
and
whatsoeuer
they
might
make
money
of
,
euen
to
the
very
Bels
in
the
Steeples
,
he
had
not
commended
it
to
be
wel
done
,
and
sent
them
rewards
for
their
so
doing
,
and
so
haue
let
them
runne
on
euen
to
the
taking
of
the
Crucifixe
out
of
the
Church
,
and
hanging
it
on
the
Gallowes
,
as
they
did
at
Gorcum
in
Holland
;
an
act
,
that
albeit
the
Diuell
,
Iewes
,
and
Geuses
would
take
pleasure
in
,
yet
would
very
Turkes
,
and
Mahometans
bee
scandalized
to
behold
it
.
Now
because
the
King
of
Spayne
had
sworne
at
his
being
in
the
Netherlands
,
to
defend
the
Church
and
Ecclesiasticall
persons
in
their
auncient
and
Christian
Priuiledges
,
and
that
he
apprehended
Church-robberie
to
be
theft
,
he
so
much
wronged
these
people
,
as
to
send
the
Duke
of
Alua
to
punish
this
theft
,
which
(
as
I
take
it
)
was
as
little
wrong
,
as
to
hang
a
Minister
for
stealing
of
a
booke
of
Martyrs
out
of
a
Parish
Church
in
London
.
Tawny-scarfe
.
You
haue
here
said
something
to
no
purpose
:
yet
first
to
answere
your
falshoods
,
and
then
to
adde
that
which
is
true
.
Your
speech
consists
of
two
parts
:
in
the
one
you
labour
to
cleare
the
King
of
Spaine
from
all
oppression
;
in
the
other
,
you
seeke
to
cast
all
the
fault
vpon
the
people
,
and
especially
vpon
those
of
the
Reformed
Religion
,
whom
by
the
way
,
as
farre
as
your
skill
will
serue
you
,
you
spot
with
three
or
foure
crimes
,
which
I
dare
say
,
you
count
proper
to
the
cause
.
First
,
I
willingly
grant
the
quiet
possession
of
Philip
the
second
King
of
Spaine
in
those
Prouinces
,
and
the
generall
obedience
which
the
people
yeelded
to
him
,
during
the
time
of
his
stay
amongst
them
,
all
which
augments
his
obligation
of
loue
.
But
whereas
you
lay
the
cause
of
these
ensuing
warres
,
to
the
rascall
multitude
,
sedicious
Preachers
,
and
bankrupt
Nobilitie
(
as
you
style
them
)
you
shall
finde
your
owne
glorious
and
Catholique
Companie
to
be
these
Rascals
,
your
owne
Popish
Clergie
to
be
the
sedicious
Priests
,
your
owne
bloudie
Nobilitie
,
to
be
these
bankrupts
of
true
Bloud
and
Nobilitie
.
For
the
reprochfull
name
of
Geus
cast
vpon
them
,
which
you
interpret
Rascall
,
they
wore
it
,
and
the
ensignes
and
badges
of
it
,
as
an
honour
,
to
let
the
world
see
,
the
King
of
Spaine
and
his
Councell
,
especially
the
Clergie
,
accounted
no
better
of
them
,
then
of
Rogues
or
beggars
,
and
intended
with
the
vtmost
speed
to
make
them
such
,
which
also
they
exprest
by
the
woodden
dish
.
As
for
the
Foxe
taile
,
which
you
say
,
they
wore
in
their
Caps
,
it
was
perhaps
to
put
you
in
minde
,
that
neither
they
nor
their
Preachers
were
such
Votaries
as
your
chaste
Friar
Cornelius
Adrianson
of
Bruges
;
who
being
a
most
zealous
persecuter
of
the
Geuses
,
and
very
deuoute
and
obedient
to
the
Church
of
Rome
and
the
Catholike
King
,
inuented
an
Order
of
humilitie
and
innocencie
,
and
vsed
to
whip
the
penitent
female
soules
,
that
hee
confest
,
with
a
Foxe-tayle
starke
naked
,
telling
them
it
became
Innocencie
to
bee
seene
so
.
This
must
needes
bee
a
sore
and
seuere
kinde
of
Penance
both
to
them
and
to
him
;
yet
not
so
absurd
and
abhord
,
as
that
Sodomiticall
practise
of
the
Friars
of
Gant
and
Bruges
;
for
which
much
about
that
time
,
many
were
burnt
,
and
many
were
whipt
,
by
the
sentence
of
the
Court
of
Flanders
,
beeing
all
men
of
their
owne
Religion
.
For
the
hanging
vp
of
a
Crucifixe
vpon
the
Gallowes
at
Gorcum
,
wherewith
you
charge
the
people
,
I
must
confesse
I
allow
not
of
the
fact
;
nay
rather
I
condemne
it
as
an
idle
and
scandalous
action
,
neither
can
I
suppose
it
true
;
yet
admit
it
were
so
,
then
doubtlesse
either
it
was
done
by
some
irreligious
persons
,
who
mixed
themselues
with
the
multitude
of
rash
Reformers
;
or
if
by
some
others
,
out
of
blinde
deuotion
and
indiscreet
zeale
,
they
might
defend
themselues
with
these
reasons
,
which
you
can
hardly
refute
.
1
First
,
you
paint
Christ
hanged
on
a
Crosse
,
who
fits
in
glory
at
the
right
hand
of
God
the
Father
:
for
this
they
hang
vp
your
forgerie
;
and
doe
no
more
indeed
in
the
open
ayre
,
then
what
you
did
before
by
the
pensill
,
vnder
the
roofe
of
your
owne
houses
,
or
in
the
Church
.
2
Secondly
,
your
Masse
priests
euery
day
crucifie
againe
the
Lord
of
life
,
at
least
they
make
such
as
you
beleeue
they
doe
so
,
whilst
they
offer
vp
his
bodie
to
God
the
Father
for
sinne
,
as
once
hee
did
for
all
on
the
Crosse
himselfe
.
But
these
onely
did
execute
the
picture
,
whilst
your
Clergie
,
like
Caiaphas
,
Annas
,
Herod
,
Pilate
,
and
Iudas
,
betray
,
accuse
,
and
condemne
him
euery
day
in
person
,
as
they
say
,
if
hoc
est
corpus
meum
,
with
a
crosse
or
two
added
,
haue
power
to
change
a
Cake
into
Christs
bodie
.
3
Thirdly
,
that
Idol
rob'd
God
of
his
glorie
,
and
Christ
of
his
worship
;
whilst
,
either
it
had
all
or
part
of
that
respect
,
which
was
due
to
the
person
.
If
then
a
man
for
meere
necessitie
stealing
a
Surplice
,
Chalice
,
Image
,
or
the
like
,
out
of
your
idolatrous
Temples
,
bee
worthy
of
hanging
,
though
he
bee
the
image
of
God
,
what
,
is
not
your
Idol
worthy
to
bee
hanged
,
who
robs
God
of
his
glorie
,
&
your
soules
of
true
felicitie
?
Christ
himselfe
whipt
theeues
out
of
the
Church
,
and
shall
that
theefe
be
left
there
?
It
is
your
blinde
deuotion
to
preferre
that
Idol
,
before
the
true
,
liuely
,
and
liuing
Image
of
Christ
,
whom
you
daily
hang
vp
for
this
Idols
sake
:
and
so
,
whilst
you
thinke
to
doe
God
good
seruice
,
doe
seruice
to
the
Diuell
,
making
your
owne
sonnes
and
daughters
passe
thorow
the
fire
to
Molech
.
As
for
the
Minister
which
you
bring
in
by
way
of
instance
,
who
should
steale
(
as
you
say
)
a
Booke
of
Martyrs
out
of
a
Parish
Church
in
London
:
if
there
were
any
such
man
,
he
was
worthy
to
be
hang'd
;
but
suppose
hee
had
stolen
your
god
amighty
in
the
siluer
Boxe
,
(
as
hee
was
very
like
to
doe
it
,
had
it
stood
in
his
way
)
what
a
pitifull
case
had
you
beene
in
,
whilst
you
must
haue
pursued
him
as
Laban
did
Iacob
,
saying
,
Gen.
31.30
.
why
haue
you
stolne
away
my
god
?
And
this
for
answer
to
your
naked
and
emptie
allegations
,
which
must
bee
credited
vpon
your
bare
word
.
But
whereas
you
cry
out
,
or
rather
crow
like
a
Cocke
on
a
dunghill
,
demanding
what
wrong
in
any
respect
was
done
the
people
?
who
complained
of
any
wrong
?
why
was
not
the
good
peace
and
reciprocall
loue
betweene
this
King
and
his
Netherland
subiects
continued
?
who
began
the
breach
?
what
actions
of
innouation
caused
it
?
proceeded
it
from
this
Prince
,
or
from
the
Netherland
people
?
I
will
briefly
as
I
may
,
satisfie
all
your
demands
,
shewing
first
the
true
and
naturall
constitution
of
that
mixed
Gouernement
ab
initio
,
and
then
proceeding
to
manifest
what
new
pressures
,
contrary
to
the
fundamentall
Lawes
of
the
State
,
and
what
daily
incroachments
,
stolne
vpon
the
peoples
Liberties
by
policie
,
prouoked
this
warre
,
and
produced
the
dire
effects
following
;
as
a
mirrour
to
warne
all
Magistrates
to
beware
of
tyrannie
,
and
to
bee
content
with
their
owne
in
manly
moderation
,
lest
Lucifer-like
,
seeking
to
become
gods
,
they
prooue
diuellish
Tyrants
,
and
so
lose
their
first
angelicall
seates
of
Soueraigntie
.
But
because
it
is
impossible
in
so
narrow
a
Discourse
as
we
intend
,
to
speake
of
all
particulars
,
and
to
deliuer
seuerally
,
what
euery
Prouince
,
and
euery
City
in
euery
Prouince
,
holds
apart
from
others
,
as
proper
onely
to
themselues
,
I
will
onely
shew
you
a
few
of
those
Principles
(
rather
then
Priuiledges
)
of
State
,
which
these
Nations
haue
preserued
intire
in
generall
,
notwithstanding
the
many
powerfull
hands
they
haue
in
that
time
past
thorow
;
when
,
euen
the
most
noble
and
generous
Nations
,
who
boast
and
glorie
of
vniuersall
Monarchies
,
haue
indured
in
lesse
time
many
violent
changes
,
and
a
totall
and
finall
losse
of
their
Liberties
.
The
Batanians
(
for
that
is
the
most
generall
name
proper
to
this
people
)
were
originally
of
the
Cattens
,
now
called
Hessens
;
they
first
possest
the
Land
which
they
now
hold
,
without
iniurie
to
any
other
Nation
or
person
,
finding
it
not
inhabited
by
reason
of
many
wants
and
inconueniences
,
which
their
inuincible
industries
haue
since
ouercome
;
and
much
of
it
also
not
habitable
,
in
regard
of
sundry
difficulties
which
their
admirable
inuentions
haue
since
remooued
,
or
conuerted
into
profitable
helpes
and
necessarie
commodities
.
Thus
originally
they
are
free
without
forraine
tenure
for
the
place
,
or
complaint
of
any
person
for
elbow-roome
or
intrusion
.
Their
Gouernement
also
was
as
free
as
gouernement
could
possibly
be
:
they
chose
their
Gouernours
themselues
,
were
he
one
or
more
,
King
,
Generall
,
or
Earle
;
and
euer
had
respect
that
their
Liberties
and
welfares
should
not
rest
in
the
bosome
or
disposition
of
one
man
onely
;
but
so
wisely
and
warily
prouided
,
that
were
he
wise
or
foolish
,
vertuous
or
wicked
,
va●●ant
or
cowardly
,
true
or
false
that
ruled
for
the
time
,
he
might
profit
them
,
but
should
haue
no
power
to
ruine
them
himselfe
,
or
betray
them
to
be
ruined
by
the
Tyrannie
of
others
.
For
this
end
also
they
chose
a
certaine
mixed
number
of
the
Nobles
and
Commons
to
sit
in
Councell
,
whom
they
called
States
Generall
;
and
in
these
consisted
a
great
part
of
the
Soueraigntie
,
at
least
power
to
qualifie
the
ouer-swelling
torrent
of
Tyrannie
in
the
Superiour
,
and
to
represse
and
stay
the
headstrong
and
disobedient
fury
of
the
inferiour
,
and
to
stand
in
the
midst
as
a
Moderator
betwixt
Prince
and
people
,
as
our
Parliaments
in
England
vse
to
doe
.
In
these
States
vnited
,
together
with
their
Prince
,
(
whatsoeuer
title
he
bore
)
was
the
Soueraigne
Power
included
;
yet
so
,
as
they
had
reference
in
all
great
affaires
to
the
people
also
;
who
were
not
shut
out
,
(
like
beastes
by
Butchers
against
the
day
of
slaughter
)
but
called
to
counsell
,
if
the
businesse
concerned
them
,
and
the
generall
welfare
.
And
to
say
truth
,
many
of
the
States
were
of
these
Commons
,
who
therefore
would
carefully
looke
to
preserue
the
common
libertie
.
With
this
Councell
of
the
States
all
great
affaires
past
;
without
it
,
nothing
of
moment
.
And
,
that
you
may
apprehend
this
cleare
truth
the
better
,
I
will
produce
some
of
the
Articles
containing
their
freedomes
,
which
their
Princes
vsed
to
confirme
by
oath
in
the
presence
of
the
States
,
before
they
or
the
people
would
acknowledge
them
for
Princes
,
that
is
,
Iudges
and
Executors
of
the
Lawe
.
The
Customes
and
Lawes
fundamentall
of
the
Netherland
Provinces
.
THat
no
Countesse
should
marry
vnto
any
man
,
but
with
consent
and
good
liking
of
the
State
.
That
the
Offices
,
as
of
the
Councell
,
and
Rent-masters
,
and
Pretorships
,
should
be
conferred
vpon
no
other
,
but
vpon
those
that
were
borne
within
the
Land
.
That
the
States
shall
haue
libertie
to
assemble
vpon
them
,
affaires
of
the
State
;
and
that
as
often
as
shall
please
them
,
without
need
to
haue
consent
of
the
Earle
for
that
end
.
That
no
Tolles
might
be
raised
or
imposed
,
neither
any
man
freed
from
those
that
were
formerly
ordeined
,
but
by
consent
of
the
States
.
That
the
Princes
should
vse
the
Dutch
Language
in
all
their
Writings
.
That
the
Coyne
should
be
altered
and
appointed
by
the
Prince
,
according
as
the
States
should
finde
it
conuenient
.
That
the
Prince
might
not
make
away
any
part
of
his
Principalitie
.
That
the
States
may
not
bee
warned
to
assemble
vpon
any
Conuocation
out
of
the
Prouinces
.
That
when
as
the
Prince
should
haue
need
of
any
Impositions
,
Collections
,
or
Contributions
,
that
hee
himselfe
personally
,
and
not
by
mediation
of
his
Lieutenant
,
shall
make
intercession
vnto
the
States
,
without
exacting
any
thing
,
otherwise
then
by
a
willing
and
free
consent
.
That
he
exercise
and
administer
Law
and
Iustice
by
the
hand
of
the
ordinary
Iustices
.
That
the
ancient
Lawes
and
Customes
being
sacred
,
should
be
inuiolably
obserued
;
and
if
the
Prince
should
ordaine
any
thing
contrary
thereunto
,
that
no
man
is
bound
to
obserue
the
same
.
These
Lawes
hauing
bin
long
maintained
by
meere
Custome
,
were
afterwards
registred
into
Articles
,
and
subsigned
by
the
Princes
from
time
to
time
;
to
this
end
,
that
the
natures
of
the
same
Princes
might
not
be
infected
by
the
euill
incitations
of
flattering
Courtiers
,
vnto
the
hope
of
vnlawfull
domination
.
And
at
last
,
in
regard
that
the
States
made
complaint
of
their
Grieuances
,
that
the
most
of
the
fundamentall
points
of
the
ancient
Gouernement
,
by
innouations
were
ouerthrowne
,
euen
then
was
there
a
collection
made
of
all
the
aforesaid
Lawes
;
and
so
by
some
others
,
but
chiefly
by
Mary
Duchesse
of
Burgondy
,
they
were
sealed
vp
,
for
an
euerlasting
memorie
.
This
was
the
state
of
these
Prouinces
,
when
they
came
into
the
hands
of
Charles
the
fift
,
who
beeing
a
mighty
Prince
,
(
too
bigge
for
the
quiet
or
benefite
of
those
Countries
)
sought
by
policie
and
power
to
melt
and
cast
them
into
a
new
forme
of
Gouernement
,
and
to
vnite
the
seuenteene
Prouinces
in
one
solide
body
,
making
thereof
a
Kingdome
,
and
himselfe
absolute
King
of
that
Kingdome
.
But
,
beeing
hindred
by
strong
opposition
at
home
,
and
stronger
ingagements
abroad
,
he
was
forced
to
leaue
that
worke
imperfect
,
to
bee
made
vp
by
the
art
and
industrie
of
his
sonne
Philip
the
second
.
He
onely
had
left
the
rough
draught
,
and
first
patterne
of
that
Monarchie
,
which
the
times
succeeding
should
polish
and
make
perfect
:
to
which
end
hee
resigned
the
Netherlands
to
his
sonne
Philip
the
second
,
very
early
,
to
giue
him
time
,
and
the
aduantage
of
actiue
and
fortunate
youth
,
to
enter
vpon
this
worke
,
and
to
finish
it
.
All
which
was
done
(
the
Kings
secret
intent
onely
reserued
to
himselfe
and
his
Chamber-councell
)
with
the
consent
of
the
States
Generall
,
who
gaue
him
the
Oath
,
which
they
administer
to
all
their
Princes
,
to
obserue
the
Customes
of
the
Prouinces
,
and
preserue
their
Liberties
intire
.
Ignorance
makes
desperate
onsets
both
in
peace
and
warre
:
And
youth
is
naturally
ignorant
:
so
neither
the
King
by
reason
of
his
youth
,
nor
the
Spanish
Councell
,
who
altogether
gouerned
the
King
,
could
tell
how
to
manage
this
people
,
being
vnacquainted
with
their
natures
.
And
there
is
as
great
difference
betwixt
the
Gouernement
of
Spaine
and
the
Netherlands
,
as
betwixt
England
and
Scotland
.
Great
reason
they
should
therefore
be
gouerned
by
Natiues
that
knew
them
,
not
by
strangers
,
that
did
not
loue
them
,
and
meant
onely
to
make
their
profit
of
them
.
The
first
onset
of
this
young
Prince
presently
vpon
his
Inauguration
,
as
an
ouerture
and
omen
to
that
which
followed
,
was
an
excessiue
demaund
of
money
from
the
Netherlands
,
vnder
pretence
of
paying
his
debts
.
But
he
could
not
obtaine
a
moitie
of
that
which
hee
sought
,
neither
would
that
bee
granted
without
a
conuocation
of
the
generall
States
of
the
17.
Belgicke
Prouinces
.
The
which
was
wonderfully
ill
taken
by
the
Spanish
Councell
,
and
by
those
that
inriched
themselues
with
the
treasure
of
the
peoples
ruine
:
so
that
some
Noblemen
and
Gouernours
of
some
Prouinces
and
Townes
,
were
not
onely
in
disgrace
with
the
King
and
his
Councell
,
but
were
also
iudged
guilty
of
high
treason
;
and
the
Noblemen
which
had
in
any
sort
contradicted
this
demand
,
were
marked
vnto
death
vpon
the
first
oportunitie
that
should
be
offered
,
for
that
they
would
not
instantly
yeeld
vnto
the
first
demand
,
without
any
conuocation
of
the
States
.
Notwithstanding
,
that
which
was
granted
him
(
being
called
the
Novenall
ayde
)
amounted
in
all
,
to
fortie
millions
of
Florins
of
Brabant
mony
.
But
this
conuocation
of
the
States
Generall
,
was
both
to
the
King
and
his
Councell
(
as
it
hath
beene
euer
since
)
most
odious
;
Meetings
of
the
Nobles
,
and
councels
of
the
subiects
,
odious
to
Tyrants
.
as
we
shall
see
by
the
beginning
of
the
troubles
which
happened
in
the
s●id
Netherlands
,
whereof
grew
the
warres
,
which
haue
continued
since
the
yeere
1566.
vnto
this
day
.
A
while
after
this
the
King
departs
into
Spayne
,
and
by
the
meanes
of
the
Cardinall
Granvile
,
The
worse
Clergiman
,
the
b●tter
Courtier
.
(
a
gracious
Courtier
;
and
the
more
like
to
bee
so
,
in
that
hee
was
knowen
to
be
a
gracelesse
Church-man
)
Margaret
of
Austria
Duchesse
of
Parma
bastard
daughter
to
the
Emperour
Charles
the
fift
,
and
so
the
Kings
base
si●●er
,
was
made
Gouernesse
of
the
Netherlands
.
Yet
befo●e
his
departure
,
the
warres
with
France
beeing
finished
,
and
peace
concluded
,
the
States
hauing
a
ielous
eye
for
the
publike
libertie
,
and
seeing
the
Spanish
souldiers
g●rrisond
in
the
best
Townes
of
the
Netherlands
,
they
with
the
Nobility
petitioned
to
the
King
,
to
haue
them
sent
away
;
and
to
vrge
it
to
bee
done
with
more
speed
,
they
presented
to
the
King
their
fundamentall
Principles
,
his
Oath
to
preserue
them
inuiolate
,
and
their
farther
ielousies
and
feares
were
not
altogether
denyed
or
dissembled
,
but
rather
plainly
insinuated
and
auouched
.
This
that
they
desired
was
at
last
done
,
though
slowly
,
and
much
against
hayre
and
heart
:
Now
therefore
the
Spanish
Faction
wrought
with
such
of
the
Nobilitie
as
sought
Office
,
or
were
couetous
either
of
fauour
,
wealth
,
or
honour
,
after
a
more
bold
and
open
maner
;
shewing
plainely
,
that
except
the
Countries
were
reduced
to
absolute
obedience
by
forraine
Garrisons
,
Religion
made
the
maske
of
State
,
as
is
●uer
vsed
by
Tyrants
and
Atheists
.
and
the
awe
of
a
conquering
Armie
,
it
was
an
impossible
work
to
punish
the
Heretickes
,
who
would
otherwise
so
increase
,
as
the
Countries
would
be
wholly
lost
.
The
wiser
and
honester
sort
,
of
whatsoeuer
opinion
in
Religion
they
were
,
saw
this
snare
and
shunned
it
,
and
gaue
others
warning
also
.
Notwithstanding
some
there
were
(
as
all
Hiues
haue
some
Drones
,
and
all
States
haue
some
slaues
bred
in
them
)
that
were
contented
to
weare
setters
,
so
they
might
be
made
of
gold
,
and
they
might
helpe
to
make
them
.
But
for
the
effecting
of
this
,
the
Inquisition
must
bee
introduced
,
which
had
before
beene
relected
in
the
time
of
Charles
the
fift
.
No
such
equal
course
as
is
vsed
in
the
Star-chamber
.
Accordingly
a
Commission
was
sent
May
the
11
,
1565.
by
the
which
,
according
to
the
words
thereof
,
ample
and
full
Commission
was
giuen
to
the
Inquisitors
,
to
make
inquisitions
,
proceedings
,
corrections
and
punishments
,
degradations
,
deliuerances
to
the
secular
Power
,
to
vse
imprisonment
,
and
apprehension
of
men
,
making
of
Processes
without
any
forme
of
Iustice
;
choosing
onely
some
one
of
the
Kings
Councell
,
who
should
be
bound
to
giue
sentence
as
they
should
require
,
according
to
the
forme
and
tenor
of
the
Apostolicke
Letters
written
touching
that
,
without
any
attendance
or
requisition
of
the
ordinary
Iudge
,
or
Diocesan
of
the
place
;
and
that
against
those
that
are
suspected
of
Heresie
,
or
that
shall
reade
forbidden
Bookes
,
or
shall
make
Assemblies
,
dispute
or
talke
of
the
holy
Scriptures
.
Item
,
to
call
before
them
as
often
as
they
please
,
all
his
Maiesties
subiects
,
of
what
authority
,
power
,
state
,
quality
or
condition
whatsoeuer
,
be
they
Presidents
,
Councelours
,
Burgomasters
,
Aldermen
or
other
Officers
,
to
sweare
them
by
Oath
,
against
all
those
they
shall
name
,
vpon
paine
to
be
punished
as
suspect
and
fauourers
of
Heresie
.
In
respect
whereof
,
all
Magistrates
,
Gouernours
,
and
Officers
,
were
enioyned
to
giue
all
ayde
,
assistance
and
fauour
vnto
the
said
Inquisitors
,
in
the
execution
of
their
charge
,
whensoeuer
they
should
bee
required
,
vpon
the
same
paines
,
&c.
besides
many
other
things
directly
repugnant
to
all
right
,
and
the
auncient
Priuiledges
and
Customes
of
the
Country
.
Moreouer
,
the
most
apparent
and
notable
persons
,
aswell
among
the
Nobles
,
as
Merchants
and
Artizans
,
and
especially
the
richest
,
were
already
inrolled
in
these
Inquisitors
Bookes
to
proceed
against
them
,
as
against
men
subiect
to
confiscation
both
of
body
and
goods
,
at
the
least
in
case
of
repentance
,
to
great
pecuniary
Fines
.
Thereupon
was
heard
of
all
sides
the
brags
and
threates
of
Inquisitors
,
Priests
and
Monkes
,
daring
to
prescribe
,
yea
to
name
in
their
Sermons
the
most
apparent
;
whereof
not
onely
the
people
of
Antwerpe
,
which
heard
it
,
and
the
Magistrates
,
which
had
beene
daily
informed
,
beare
witnesse
,
but
also
the
townes
of
Lille
,
Tournay
,
Valenciennes
,
and
others
of
the
Countries
of
Flanders
,
Brabant
,
Holland
,
and
Arthoys
,
where
as
these
threates
haue
beene
publiquely
heard
from
the
mouthes
of
the
Priests
and
Preachers
.
Whereupon
those
of
Brabant
began
first
to
intimate
,
that
their
Duchie
was
falne
to
the
King
of
Spaines
Predecessors
by
right
of
Election
,
the
which
depended
vpon
Conditions
sworne
of
either
side
:
all
which
Conditions
they
said
were
broken
,
if
they
brought
the
Inquisition
of
Spayne
into
that
Country
.
Those
of
Brabant
did
also
produce
sixe
principall
Articles
,
among
others
of
their
Priuiledges
,
whereof
the
first
was
:
1
This
was
broken
by
the
introducing
of
the
14.
new
Bishops
and
their
Canons
.
That
the
Duke
of
Brabant
might
not
augment
the
State
of
the
Clergie
,
more
then
it
had
beene
in
old
time
.
2
This
by
the
death
of
diuers
of
the
Nobilitie
,
as
the
Earles
of
Horne
,
Egmond
and
others
.
That
the
Duke
might
not
pursue
ciuilly
or
criminally
,
any
of
his
naturall
subiects
or
strangers
dwelling
there
,
but
by
the
ordinarie
course
of
the
Iustice
of
the
Countrey
,
whereas
the
accused
may
defend
and
iustifie
himselfe
by
his
Councell
.
3
This
was
infringed
by
new
formes
of
exaction
of
the
hundreth
and
twentieth
peny
,
and
of
the
tenth
peny
vpon
merchandize
and
handiworkes
.
That
the
Duke
may
not
rayse
any
tribute
or
other
imposition
,
nor
attempt
any
innouation
,
without
the
consent
of
the
State
of
the
Country
.
4
This
was
infringed
by
making
Spaniards
principall
Officers
in
the
Netherlands
,
whereas
no
Netherlander
had
Office
in
Spaine
.
That
the
Duke
may
not
place
any
strangers
or
forrainers
in
any
Offices
of
Brabant
,
except
in
certaine
petty
exceptions
;
namely
,
in
his
Court
,
where
he
may
haue
two
strangers
of
his
Councell
,
so
as
they
be
of
the
same
Language
;
as
also
one
that
is
not
borne
in
Brabant
,
hauing
for
a
time
enioyed
some
free
Seignory
there
,
may
be
President
in
the
sayd
Court
.
5
That
when
as
the
Duke
would
assemble
all
his
Estates
,
were
it
to
demand
money
,
ayde
,
subsidues
,
or
any
other
thing
of
his
subiects
,
that
those
of
Brabant
,
nor
the
other
Estates
of
the
Countrey
,
should
not
be
bound
to
goe
out
of
the
limits
of
the
Country
,
nor
to
conclude
any
thing
out
of
it
.
6
If
it
should
happen
that
the
Duke
would
restraine
and
infringe
their
Priuiledges
,
were
it
by
force
or
otherwise
,
in
that
case
his
subiects
of
Brabant
hauing
made
a
solemne
protestation
before
,
should
be
freed
and
discharged
of
their
oath
and
homage
,
and
as
freemen
may
prouide
for
themselues
,
as
they
shall
thinke
most
conuenient
.
Which
priuiledges
,
most
part
of
the
Townes
and
Prouinces
did
chalenge
,
and
doe
maintaine
them
to
be
in
like
sort
proper
to
them
,
and
ratified
by
Maximilian
king
of
Romanes
,
in
the
yeere
1488.
the
16.
of
May
;
not
as
if
then
he
gaue
them
any
new
Priuiledges
which
they
had
not
before
,
or
which
lay
in
his
power
to
take
away
at
pleasure
,
but
that
he
onely
ratified
their
old
Principles
,
as
a
iust
Prince
,
who
was
careful
to
discharge
his
dutie
for
their
after-safety
and
libertie
.
Besides
all
these
allegations
and
propositions
,
in
the
end
they
durst
say
openly
,
that
by
the
feodall
Lawes
,
the
Lord
loseth
the
right
of
his
Fee
,
by
the
same
occasion
of
fellony
,
that
the
vassall
forfeits
his
fee
vnto
the
Lord
:
inferring
thereby
,
that
by
reason
of
the
Inquisition
,
the
which
did
attempt
manifestly
against
the
Lands
and
Goods
of
the
Kings
vassals
,
they
might
iustly
forget
their
duty
of
fealty
to
him
that
brought
it
in
by
force
and
fraude
.
Notwithstanding
,
they
proceeded
by
way
of
Petition
both
to
the
King
and
Gouernesse
;
and
after
sundry
Petitions
,
at
length
obtained
onely
this
fauourable
moderation
of
all
tyrannies
and
oppressions
,
that
burning
should
be
turned
into
hanging
;
whereby
we
see
what
Salomon
saith
verified
,
Pr.
12.10
The
mercies
of
the
wicked
are
cruell
.
Yet
the
States
continued
to
petition
to
the
King
,
but
to
no
purpose
;
for
contrarie
resolutions
were
taken
in
Spaine
,
(
where
the
King
was
in
person
,
where
all
councels
were
forged
,
and
from
whence
they
hoped
for
redresse
)
that
all
mens
Goods
and
Lands
,
together
with
all
auncient
Priuiledges
,
should
bee
forfeited
and
lost
.
And
the
Duke
of
Alua
,
a
politicke
Gouernour
,
and
great
souldier
,
was
sent
to
execute
all
by
strong-hand
,
and
reduce
the
Countries
to
absolute
obedience
,
as
if
they
had
not
beene
places
of
inheritance
,
but
Countries
conquered
.
Now
all
these
pressures
were
vpon
purpose
cast
vpon
the
people
to
discontent
them
,
and
force
the
people
to
rebell
,
whereby
hee
might
haue
occasion
of
that
generall
Conquest
,
which
those
high-minded
Spaniards
supposed
to
be
easie
to
their
daring
and
slaue-subduing
spirits
,
though
the
yssue
prooues
they
tooke
their
leuell
too
low
,
and
their
wisedomes
were
deceiued
and
much
mistaken
in
the
maine
matter
.
Red-scarfe
.
But
shall
I
be
so
simple
as
to
beleeue
you
affirming
,
that
the
King
of
Spaine
sought
to
discontent
his
people
,
that
they
might
rebell
,
and
so
hee
finde
occasion
to
inuade
their
Liberties
farther
?
Doth
not
any
King
rather
seeke
to
rule
his
people
in
peace
,
then
prouoke
them
to
rebellion
,
whose
suppression
would
both
bee
chargeable
vnto
him
,
and
also
dangerous
being
vncertaine
?
Tawny-scarfe
.
You
should
shew
your selfe
very
wise
if
you
could
disprooue
it
,
and
very
simple
till
then
not
to
beleeue
it
,
vpon
such
pregnant
proofes
as
hath
or
shall
bee
produced
.
The
fore-mentioned
practise
of
prouoking
people
to
profitable
offences
,
hath
beene
auncient
,
and
is
vsual
with
Tyrants
,
who
finde
no
pleasure
in
commanding
,
except
they
may
be
absolute
.
And
though
perhaps
they
could
bee
content
with
obedience
to
their
absolute
commands
vnder
peaceable
termes
,
yet
if
they
see
the
least
opposition
or
variation
,
presently
they
take
new
Councels
to
mixe
all
in
combustion
and
confusion
,
like
another
Chaos
,
thereby
to
raise
vp
the
worke
new
according
to
their
owne
fancies
,
(
which
they
preferre
before
reason
,
Religion
,
or
all
lawfull
delights
)
by
the
hand
of
power
or
policie
.
Thus
the
insulting
Spaniard
thinkes
it
is
not
enough
,
or
any
thing
worth
,
to
haue
the
addition
of
Countries
by
accesse
of
mariage
or
any
other
title
,
except
also
hee
comes
in
by
a
kinde
of
Conquest
;
or
,
being
let
in
vpon
termes
of
peace
,
proceed
to
fasten
vpon
all
by
force
as
a
Conquerour
;
otherwise
hee
thinkes
hee
cannot
lord
it
enough
,
and
there
is
some
disparagement
to
his
inuincible
arrogancie
.
Let
Arragon
and
Portugal
at
home
,
and
Naples
and
these
parts
abroad
,
be
witnesse
of
this
truth
,
as
also
euery
other
place
whereupon
he
sets
the
print
of
his
feet
;
let
the
first
conditions
of
his
entry
be
what
they
will
,
the
yssue
is
Conquest
,
and
the
worst
that
Conquest
can
doe
.
And
to
resolue
you
yet
farther
of
this
truth
,
first
,
the
Letters
of
Francisco
d'
Allana
,
Ambassadour
for
the
King
of
Spayne
at
the
French
Court
,
written

of

,
doe
manifest
this
amongst
many
other
things
;
where
hee
shewes
,
"
That
the
vprore

about

,
which
you
mention
as
an
haynous
and
capitall
crime
,
would
cause
his
Maiestie
to
reape
so
great
a
benefit
,
as
to
see
them
by
that
occasion
reduced
wholly
to
his
obedience
,
and
to
that
estate
and
gouernement
whereunto
his
Predecessours

Anno
1568.
Feb.
16.
And
awhile
after
(
to
finish
and
perfect
this
plot
to
the
full
)
the
Duke
of
Alua
was
sent
with
an
armie
of
strangers
,
to
enter
like
a
Conqueror
,
to
lay
the
yoke
vpon
them
by
force
,
and
to
humble
them
so
farre
,
as
they
should
not
onely
afterward
indure
the
Kings
owne
absolute
commands
,
but
his
seruants
also
;
yea
the
meanest
command
of
the
basest
vassall
that
should
be
borne
Spanish
,
and
be
there
sent
to
domineete
.
Yet
after
the
powring
foorth
of
so
much
bloud
,
when
d'Alua
boasted
,
that
he
had
caused
18000.
persons
to
passe
vnder
the
hands
of
the
common
Executioners
,
besides
those
banisht
and
slaine
in
the
warres
,
or
murthered
by
the
Spanish
souldiers
in
peace
,
he
left
these
Countries
more
imbroyled
,
and
farther
from
the
subiection
desired
,
then
he
found
them
:
hauing
onely
wasted
his
Masters
men
and
money
,
giuing
the
people
a
iust
cause
to
disclaime
his
tyrannous
authoritie
,
and
to
brand
his
beastly
and
sauage
domination
with
these
exceptions
,
and
foule
aspertions
:
First
,
they
charge
him
,
that
hee
had
counselled
the
King
to
vse
all
extremities
in
all
causes
concerning
the
Netherlands
,
and
was
alwaies
the
head
of
such
as
were
worst
affected
vnto
those
Prouinces
.
That
he
was
the
onely
meanes
of
nourishing
the
dislike
and
contention
betweene
Dom
Charles
Prince
of
Spaine
,
and
Dom
Iohn
de
Austria
,
and
betweene
others
and
him
,
by
his
bad
reports
.
And
that
hauing
gotten
the
gouernement
and
charge
of
the
Netherlands
,
that
he
had
procured
his
instructions
and
commission
to
bee
made
according
to
his
owne
will
and
desire
,
conformable
to
that
auncient
hatred
that
he
had
conceiued
against
that
Countrey
;
adding
thereunto
,
that
hee
had
beene
receiued
more
He
hoped
and
sought
resistance
,
tha●
he
might
conquer
:
which
opposition
because
hee
found
not
at
his
entrie
,
he
forced
afterwards
.
peaceably
,
and
more
friendly
into
the
Netherlands
,
then
he
hoped
or
desired
;
which
was
onely
in
regard
of
the
honour
and
dutie
they
owe
vnto
their
naturall
Prince
,
and
vpon
the
promise
made
by
the
Regent
,
the
Duchesse
of
Parma
,
that
shee
would
haue
seene
all
things
past
forgiuen
&
forgotten
,
for
that
euery
one
had
done
his
best
indeuour
,
to
the
vtmost
of
his
power
for
his
Maiesties
seruice
,
and
the
peace
of
the
land
.
But
the
Duke
being
come
,
he
presently
declared
,
that
the
Priuiledges
and
Freedomes
of
the
Countrey
,
the
institution
of
the
Order
of
the
Golden
Fleece
,
and
the
Priuiledges
of
the
Vniuersitie
of
Lovaine
,
(
which
the
King
had
personally
sworne
to
obserue
)
were
all
forfeited
and
lost
;
thereby
to
hold
and
account
the
Land
as
a
strange
Countrey
,
newly
wonne
and
conquered
by
the
sword
,
and
therein
to
rule
and
raigne
according
to
his
will
and
pleasure
.
They
say
further
,
that
his
cruelties
were
so
vnnaturall
and
vngodly
,
that
neither
Nero
,
Pharaoh
,
Herod
,
nor
any
heathen
Tyrant
could
euer
haue
deuised
or
inuented
greater
;
that
hee
had
brought
the
King
into
contempt
and
great
dislike
of
the
Netherlands
,
altho●gh
they
were
his
patrimoniall
inheritance
,
contrary
to
●he
admonition
and
counsell
of
Aristotle
giuen
to
Alexander
the
Great
,
That
to
the
Grecians
he
should
shew
himselfe
a
father
,
and
as
vnto
a
free
Nation
;
but
to
the
conquered
Barbarians
and
strangers
,
as
a
Lord
and
Commander
.
That
he
had
caused
iudgement
to
be
giuen
,
and
execution
to
be
done
vpon
Noblemen
and
great
personages
,
by
strangers
,
defamed
persons
,
and
men
of
base
condition
and
qualitie
,
and
not
without
great
and
particular
desire
of
reuenge
;
being
such
personages
,
without
the
which
the
King
,
nor
the
Emperour
his
father
,
should
euer
haue
attained
to
so
great
estate
and
glorie
.
And
that
in
Bruxels
vnder
pretence
of
hatted
of
Religion
,
he
had
tyed
one
Anthony
Vtenhow
a
Gentleman
,
to
a
stake
with
a
chaine
,
compassing
him
about
with
a
great
fire
,
but
not
touching
him
,
for
the
Spaniards
to
passe
the
time
withall
,
turning
him
round
about
like
a
poore
beast
;
who
was
forced
to
liue
in
that
great
paine
and
extremitie
,
roasting
before
the
fire
so
long
,
vntill
that
the
Hollanders
themselues
hauing
compassion
of
him
,
thrust
him
thorow
,
contrary
to
the
will
and
intent
both
of
the
Duke
and
Spanish
Priests
.
Marke
well
these
wayes
of
Conquest
and
Tyranny
.
That
he
had
mooued
the
King
to
helpe
himselfe
by
foure
tyrannicall
meanes
;
first
,
to
disarme
the
Countrey
,
not
suffering
the
inhabitants
to
exercise
Armes
,
but
imploy
strangers
in
his
warres
:
Secondly
,
to
make
and
keepe
them
poore
by
oppressions
,
and
laying
great
taxes
vpon
them
:
Thirdly
,
by
making
of
Castles
and
Cittadels
(
which
some
call
the
dennes
and
nests
of
Tyrants
)
to
bridle
them
:
and
further
,
by
feeding
and
nourishing
of
Diuision
among
his
subiects
for
Religion
.
They
obiect
,
that
he
had
with
holden
the
King
for
so
many
yeeres
(
notwithstanding
those
great
dangers
the
Country
stood
in
,
and
the
need
of
his
presence
)
from
comming
personally
into
the
Netherlands
,
as
the
Emperour
his
father
did
,
onely
for
the
troubles
of
the
towne
of
Gand
.
That
hee
had
incensed
the
King
so
much
against
the
Netherlanders
,
as
he
would
not
vouchsafe
to
heare
them
,
If
a
Prince
b●gin
once
to
hate
a
people
,
then
his
eares
stand
euer
op●
to
all
sinister
informations
.
And
there
can
be
no
better
flatterie
,
and
so
no
better
Court-seruice
then
to
bring
him
a
f●lse
cal●
to
incense
him
farther
.
but
rather
to
heare
flatterers
,
their
enemies
;
as
it
appeared
by
a
packet
of
Letters
sent
into
Spaine
,
where
they
were
kept
vnopened
nine
moneths
together
,
vntill
the
comming
of
Cardinall
Granville
into
Spaine
.
That
he
had
contemned
the
generall
Estates
of
the
Netherlands
;
persecuting
,
iudging
,
condemning
,
and
executing
the
Nobilitie
and
Gentlemen
thereof
,
as
traytors
to
their
Countrey
,
because
they
onely
presented
an
humble
Petition
to
the
Dutchesse
of
Parma
being
Regent
,
to
craue
an
Assembly
of
the
Generall
Estates
.
That
he
was
not
contented
to
haue
destroyed
and
brought
so
many
Noblemen
,
Gentlemen
,
rich
▪
and
poore
people
vnto
their
ends
,
and
to
haue
banished
and
driuen
so
many
out
of
their
Countrey
,
but
had
so
hardly
and
badly
vsed
those
that
remained
in
the
Countrey
,
as
they
were
falne
into
despaire
,
and
were
pitied
and
lamented
in
all
Kings
and
Princes
Courts
:
whereby
those
that
were
in
the
Land
,
had
beene
compelled
to
ioyne
with
the
banished
persons
,
when
as
they
perceiued

that

many

fearing

caused

to
bring
the

so
as
hee
bragged
sitting
at

,
that
he
,
hauing
done
the
best
he
could
doe
to
root
out
all
Heresies
,
had
caused
eighteene
thousand
men
to
be
executed
and
put
to
death
by
the
ordinarie
minister
of
Iustice
,
within
the
space
of
sixe
yeres
that
he
gouerned
the
Netherlands
,
not
accounting
those
that
his
soldiers
in
the
Netherlands
by
the
warres
,
by
their
cruelties
,
and
other
tyrannous
meanes
had
murthered
and
miserably
consumed
and
brought
vnto
their
ends
,
which
without
all
doubt
could
not
chuse
but
bee
an
innumerable
number
:
and
yet
Vergas
the
President
of
his
bloudie
Councell
,
that
went
with
him
into
Spaine
,
complained
and
said
,
that
nimia
misericordia
,
too
much
mercie
,
spoyled
the
Netherlands
:
which
too
much
mercie
of
his
was
such
,
that
a
man
could
hardly
keepe
and
preserue
his
owne
goods
from
spoile
,
because
of
his
and
his
souldiers
couetousnes
;
nor
his
wife
and
daughter
from
abuse
,
because
of
their
lecherie
,
nor
his
life
from
violence
,
because
of
their
bloud-thirstinesse
:
neither
could
Nobilitie
,
riches
,
honestie
,
nor
yet
any
fore-passed
merit
or
seruice
,
helpe
or
auaile
any
man
,
if
he
were
once
fallen
into
hatred
and
dislike
of
him
.
That
he
vsed
to
helpe
himselfe
to
effect
his
will
by
suborning
of
false
witnesses
,
at
it
appeared
at
Dornicke
at
the
death
of
Martin
Hutten
,
who
was
the
Kings
Officer
,
executed
for
the
same
.
That
without
respect
of
any
iurisdictions
and
ordinarie
Customes
of
the
Countrey
,
hee
tooke
all
authority
from
the
Iudges
,
both
of
criminall
and
ciuill
causes
,
which
in
any
wise
might
concerne
the
Confiscations
vsed
and
executed
by
his
bloudie
Councels
;

neither

nor

persons
,

nor

,

,

,

,
nor

Hospitals
,
that
had
iust
and
due
pensions
,
and
yeerely
Rents
comming
,
proceeding
,
and
to
bee
yeerely
payed
vnto
them
out
of
the
reuenues
of
the
banished
and
executed
persons
goods
,
could
be
payed
;
but
he
to
the
contrarie
,
dr●w
it
all
into
his
owne
hands
,
without
giuing
any
charge
to
see
the
said
Rents
payed
out
of
the
confiscated
goods
and
lands
once
registred
,
the
list
whereof
he
sent
vnto
the
King
,
amounting
(
as
he
set
it
downe
)
to
about
eight
millions
of
Guldernes
yeerely
,
that
so
he
might
couer
his
cruelty
with
the
profit
thereof
,
and
thereby
winne
great
commendation
in
Spaine
.
That
the
vnreasonable
and
vnspeakable
exactions
and
taxes
the
one
following
the
other
,
(
besides
the
confiscations
aforesaid
)
exacted
and
laid
vpon
the
poore
people
were
exceeding
great
,
as
the
hundreth
peny
granted
vnto
him
for
sixe
yeeres
,
which
amounted
vnto
many
millions
of
Guldernes
;
the
twentieth
peny
,
and
also
he
asked
the
tenth
penie
of
all
goods
mooueable
and
vnmooueable
,
yea
and
of
all
wares
bought
and
sold
,
and
sought
by
all
the
meanes
he
could
,
to
raise
the
same
(
against
the
aduice
of
all
the
Estates
and
Councels
of
the
Countrey
)
not
onely
proceeding
of
the
cleare
gaines
of
the
things
sold
,
but
the
tenth
and
twentieth
peny
of
the
capitall
and
principall
value
of
all
things
sold
:
so
as
they
should
haue
driuen
all
Trade
of
Merchandize
,
handicrafts
,
and
dealings
(
whereby
the
Inhabitants
for
the
most
part
get
their
liuings
)
out
of
the
Netherlands
;
which
exaction
hee
thought
with
all
rigour
and
extremitie
to
haue
raised
and
put
in
practise
,
if
he
had
not
beene
impeached
and
hindred
from
the
same
by
the
warres
;
wheras
before
that
,
the
Countrey
gaue
him
twenty
hundred
thousand
Guldernes
yeerely
,
besides
certaine
extraordinarie
millions
continually
payed
.
To
conclude
,
he
caused
the
King
and
the
Netherlands
in
sixe
yeeres
gouernement
to
spend
at
the
least
fiftie
two
millions
of
Guldernes
,
which
came
for
the
most
part
out
of
the
Netherlands
purses
That
he
caused
the
English
Merchants
goods
that
did
traffique
in
Antwerpe
,
(
vpon
hatred
of
Religion
,
and
thinking
thereby
to
driue
them
from
thence
)
amounting
to
seuen
hundred
thousand
Guldernes
,
This
money
belonged
to
the
Merchants
of
Genoa
,
as
is
afterward
shewed
.
to
be
arrested
vnder
pretence
of
money
that
should
bee
arrested
and
withholden
from
him
in
England
,
(
which
neuerthelesse
appeared
to
be
none
of
his
)
writing
to
the
King
of
Spaine
to
doe
the
like
,
without
any
consideration
,
that
the
Netherlands
had
more
to
lose
in
England
;
who
thereby
lost
in
England
twelue
hundred
thousand
Guldernes
,
wherewith
the
most
worthy
and
famous
Queene
of
●ngland
recompenced
her
subiects
for
their
losses
:
But
the
Duke
of
Alua
,
neither
yet
the
King
of
Spaine
,
would
not
offer
,
promise
,
or
pay
the
Netherlands
one
peny
;
notwithstanding
afterwards
,
that
by
the
reckoning
made
by
the
Merchants
on
both
sides
,
he
(
hauing
receiued
in
the
Merchants
names
,
about
two
hundred
thousand
Guldernes
of
ouerplus
found
to
be
in
the
English
Merchants
hands
)
would
not
giue
it
vnto
those
persons
that
had
lost
it
,
as
the
Queene
of
England
did
;
but
rather
caused
many
men
(
by
reason
of
stopping
the
Trade
)
to
become
Bankrupts
,
to
the
generall
hurt
and
preiudice
of
the
whole
Countrey
.
Besides
,
for
want
of
paying
his
souldiers
,
hee
suffered
them
,
without
all
militarie
discipline
,
to
vse
all
ryotous
,
disordered
,
and
forcible
actions
;
as
threatning
of
the
people
,
striking
,
robbing
,
ransacking
,
forcing
of
women
,
and
such
like
actions
,
and
to
burne
and
spoile
diuers
faire
Villages
,
as
Catwicke
vpon
the
Sea
,
Santfort
,
Alfen
,
and
many
others
;
and
ra●sacking
diuers
Townes
,
to
murther
the
people
,
thinking
to
haue
entred
forcibly
into
Vtrecht
and
other
townes
,
and
to
haue
spoyled
and
ransackt
the
same
:
what
they
did
to
Dornicke
,
Valencia
,
Ypre
,
Mastricht
,
Deuenter
,
Me●helen
,
Oudenard
,
Dermonde
,
Naerden
,
and
elsewhere
,
is
yet
in
most
fearefull
remembrance
.
In
his
time
in
Bruxels
,
there
was
aboue
one
hundred
and
thirty
Burgers
murthered
,
and
cruelly
brought
vnto
their
ends
by
the
Spaniards
.
In
Gand
in
a
ce●taine
vprore
made
by
the
Spaniards
,
there
was
sixtie
or
seuentie
Burgers
at
one
time
,
and
after
that
an
innumerable
number
of
men
and
women
slaine
and
murthered
.
In
Ypre
likewise
at
the
execution
of
a
Preacher
,
there
was
two
and
twenty
Burgers
shot
thorow
and
killed
,
besides
those
that
were
hurt
.
In
Dornicke
at
a
certaine
vprore
betweene
them
of
the
Castle
,
and
the
townes
Garrison
,
two
Spaniards
beeing
slaine
,
they
cryed
Spania
,
Spania
,
and
therewith
wilfully
killed
fifteene
Burgers
:
and
there
likewise
they
forcibly
entred
into
the
widow
Pottiers
house
in
the
day
time
,
and
killed
her
daughter
and
her
cousin
,
thinking
to
haue
found
great
store
of
money
in
her
house
;
for
the
which
there
was
no
other
execution
done
vpon
the
offenders
,
but
onely
they
that
had
done
the
deed
,
were
sent
away
from
thence
,
and
put
into
another
Garrison
.
In
Flessingue
was
there
not
a
Bill
found
about
Pacieco
,
(
that
was
kept
prisoner
by
them
)
wherein
was
the
names
of
an
innumerable
number
of
men
both
Gentlemen
and
others
of
the
chiefest
Bourgers
,
which
by
the
Dukes
commandement
should
haue
beene
murthered
in
the
yeere
1572.
in
diuers
townes
,
thereby
to
compell
them
to
yeeld
to
the
tenth
penie
?
What
horrible
murthers
were
done
and
committed
in
Naerden
and
Harlem
,
contrarie
to
the
faithfull
promises
made
in
Dom
Frederickes
name
,
is
manifestly
knowne
to
euery
man
:
where
he
caused
all
the
soldiers
(
not
sparing
their
young
boyes
and
Pages
)
to
be
executed
,
suffering
their
dead
bodies
starke
naked
to
lie
a
whole
day
and
a
night
vpon
the
scaffolds
,
and
in
the
market
place
,
to
the
great
shame
and
feare
of
the
women
and
maids
;
and
some
of
them
that
had
deliuered
the
Towne
vnto
him
,
he
determined
to
send
them
into
Spaine
to
be
Galley-slaues
,
and
those
that
lay
in
the
A
Sconce
so
called
neere
Haerlem
.
Fuyck
by
Harlem
,
he
suffered
them
to
die
for
hunger
,
saying
,
That
he
promised
them
their
liues
,
but
not
to
giue
them
meate
.
The
good
Bourgers
he
compelled
to
be
Pioners
before
the
towne
of
Alcmar
,
that
so
hee
might
bring
them
vnto
their
ends
.
There
is
no
honest
nor
godly
Christian
,
but
abhorreth
and
is
ashamed
to
doe
any
iniuries
vnto
the
bodies
of
the
dead
;
and
the
buriall
of
the
dead
is
thought
a
fit
and
an
honourable
thing
amongst
the
Heathens
and
Barbarians
:
but
the
Duke
of
Alua
caused
diuers
dead
bodies
(
to
spite
both
God
and
man
)
after
they
had
beene
buried
and
lien
certaine
dayes
in
the
ground
;
to
be
digged
vp
againe
,
and
to
bee
drawne
vnder
the
Gallowes
,
and
there
to
be
hanged
or
burnt
;
alledging
,
that
they
died
without
receiuing
the
Sacrament
,
or
being
confest
:
but
in
truth
it
was
done
onely
,
that
according
to
his
Proclamation
,
he
might
confiscate
their
goods
.
The
state
of
marriage
(
the
onely
foundation
of
all
societie
in
euery
place
and
Towne
,
and
the
bond
of
loue
and
peace
,
the
right
ground
of
all
good
life
and
conuersation
amongst
men
,
which
most
consisteth
in
true
and
right
consent
)
was
by
the
Duke
of
Alua
broken
and
disannulled
;
for
that
the
parties
that
were
married
in
the
reformed
Assemblies
,
were
held
as
Heretickes
vnlesse
they
married
againe
,
(
which
many
did
)
intending
therby
to
bestow
the
rich
women
vpon
his
souldiers
for
a
prise
.
To
conclude
,
he
did
openly
breake
and
disannull
all
honest
amitie
and
loue
,
that
one
man
is
bound
to
shew
vnto
another
,
murthering
and
executing
women
that
holpe
their
husbands
,
and
children
that
comforted
their
parents
in
their
vttermost
and
greatest
extremities
,
and
such
as
did
but
comfort
them
with
a
Letter
;
as
was
to
be
seene
in
the
towne
of
Mastricht
,
where
the
father
was
cruelly
put
to
death
because
he
lodged
his
sonne
(
that
he
had
not
seene
in
a
long
time
before
)
one
night
;
and
another
,
because
he
gaue
a
poore
widow
(
whose
husband
had
beene
put
to
death
for
Religion
)
certaine
corne
for
almes
;
another
,
for
that
he
sent
certaine
money
vnto
his
friend
which
was
then
in
England
,
and
confiscated
the
goods
of
many
honest
and
rich
women
,
because
they
had
lodged
their
husbands
in
their
houses
,
whereby
they
were
compelled
to
begge
their
bread
.
Hee
likewise
prophaned
the
holy
Sacrament
of
Baptisme
,
causing
the
children
that
had
beene
openly
and
publikely
baptized
in
the
Name
of
the
Father
,
of
the
Sonne
,
and
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
to
be
baptized
againe
,
because
they
had
beene
baptized
(
as
hee
said
)
by
Heretickes
,
which
was
against
the
Decrees
of
Councels
,
and
all
the
Lawes
both
of
God
and
man
.
To
shew
his
extreme
pride
and
high
minde
,
in
the
Castle
of
Antwerpe
he
caused
his
image
to
bee
made
and
erected
of
brasse
,
(
like
Nebuchadnezzar
)
placing
vnder
his
feet
the
Nobilitie
and
States
of
the
Countries
of
the
Netherlands
:
and
at
Antwerpe
in
the
market-place
,
where
he
published
a
Pardon
,
he
caused
a
princely
Throne
to
be
erected
,
which
is
vsed
to
be
set
vp
,
onely
therewith
to
honour
Princes
and
Kings
,
which
he
of
himselfe
caused
to
be
set
vp
and
sate
thereon
,
to
the
diminishing
of
the
Kings
honour
,
which
no
Lieutenant
to
the
King
before
him
durst
attempt
.
This
is
part
of
that
wherewith
the
Countries
of
the
Netherlands
,
both
of
the
one
and
the
other
Religion
doe
charge
your
great
and
glorious
Duke
of
Alua
,
who
went
out
of
his
command
like
a
snuffe
in
the
nostrils
of
all
the
Netherlanders
,
that
loued
their
Countries
liberties
,
howsoeuer
they
varied
in
points
and
opinions
of
Religion
.
After
his
departure
the
King
sent
the
great
Commander
of
Castile
,
not
to
moderate
any
thing
of
his
Predecessors
tyrannie
,
but
to
pursue
it
more
couertly
and
cunningly
.
In
his
time
,
vnder
colour
of
a
mutinie
,
Antwerpe
,
Bruxels
,
Mastricht
,
Alost
,
with
diuers
other
places
,
(
beeing
then
vnder
the
peaceable
gouernement
of
the
King
)
were
surprised
by
the
Spanish
Souldiers
,
ransackt
and
burnt
,
as
if
they
had
beene
townes
of
enemies
,
and
at
last
forced
to
redeeme
their
owne
liberty
,
by
satisfying
the
Souldier
their
vnreasonable
demands
;
so
vnderhand
paying
the
Kings
Army
.
The
Captaine
of
these
counterfeit
Mutineers
was
one
Ieronymo
de
Rhoda
a
Priest
;
who
(
as
it
plainely
appeares
)
had
secret
instructions
to
mutine
,
or
pretend
Rebellion
,
or
doe
,
or
counterfeit
any
other
falshood
,
which
might
impouerish
the
people
,
make
them
vnable
to
resist
any
violence
,
and
so
faciliate
the
Kings
maine
end
of
Conquest
,
and
absolute
subiection
of
those
Countries
to
Tyrannie
.
Accordingly
(
the
great
Commander
being
dead
)
hee
tooke
vpon
him
,
by
some
priuate
instruction
from
Spaine
,
to
rule
all
:
whilst
notwithstanding
by
publike
Decree
the
King
had
established
the
Generall
Estates
in
the
Gouernment
.
But
it
plainely
appeared
,
the
face
and
heart
of
these
designes
and
actions
was
not
all
one
.
For
howsoeuer
the
publike
countenance
stood
for
the
States
,
the
secret
intent
was
that
Rhoda
should
gouerne
;
which
he
knowing
,
vsurped
the
Kings
name
,
authoritie
,
and
Seale
,
and
returning
into
Spaine
afterward
,
in
stead
of
punishment
,
was
well
rewarded
for
it
:
because
,
though
he
crost
the
publike
Act
of
the
King
,
yet
he
performed
the
secret
intent
,
and
priuate
instruction
giuen
him
.
And
this
was
manifestly
discouered
at
the
comming
of
Dom
Iohn
of
Austria
to
gouerne
,
who
was
forbidden
to
speake
,
or
see
Rhoda
,
or
giue
him
any
countenance
,
but
to
demeane
himselfe
towards
him
,
as
if
he
had
beene
an
enemy
and
Rebell
,
yet
vnderhand
to
carry
himselfe
in
the
Gouernment
of
those
Countries
,
onely
as
he
should
be
directed
by
the
instructions
of
Rhoda
.
Thus
Dom
Iohn
seemed
to
hold
altogether
with
the
Nobles
and
with
the
Countrey
,
to
pitie
their
pressures
,
to
promise
a
speedy
redresse
of
all
grieuances
;
notwithstanding
all
this
was
but
fained
to
betray
them
;
for
hee
sought
and
aymed
at
the
same
end
that
all
the
rest
had
done
before
,
though
after
a
new
manner
;
labouring
to
winne
and
conquer
one
part
by
another
,
and
to
diuide
the
Countries
,
that
he
might
rule
as
hee
list
.
All
this
plot
was
disclosed
by
the
prouidence
of
God
,
who
(
being
no
Tyrant
,
but
a
father
himselfe
)
is
an
enemy
to
all
oppression
and
tyranny
;
and
beeing
Truth
it selfe
,
hates
all
dissimulation
and
falshood
:
for
a
Letter
of
the
Kings
to
Dom
Iohn
was
intercepted
,
wherein
all
these
snares
,
traines
,
and
plots
,
were
amply
layd
downe
and
delineated
to
life
,
for
the
better
execution
of
them
when
time
serued
.
Vpon
which
,
the
whole
State
beholding
nothing
that
might
mooue
them
to
hope
for
reformation
,
but
what
might
cause
them
rather
to
despaire
of
faire
dealing
,
they
altogether
agreed
and
resolued
to
renounce
their
allegeance
to
the
King
of
Spayne
,
and
finally
to
declare
him
falne
by
Tyrannie
from
the
Seignorie
,
Principalitie
,
Iurisdiction
,
and
Inheritance
of
those
Countries
;
which
accordingly
they
did
,
Anno
1581.
by
publike
act
.
And
here
you
see
some
of
the
true
causes
of
their
finall
breaking
off
from
their
obedience
,
and
many
of
the
new
pressures
you
so
earnestly
enquire
after
;
all
which
you
must
needes
iustifie
for
reasonable
,
if
you
be
a
reasonable
creature
,
and
haue
not
the
eyes
of
your
vnderstanding
,
as
well
as
of
your
faith
,
seeled
vp
with
a
fether
from
one
of
those
Romish
Geese
that
kept
the
Capitoll
;
or
put
cleane
out
by
the
application
of
Spanish
Catholicon
tempered
with
golden
Drugges
of
the
East
and
West
Indies
.
For
is
it
not
reasonable
,
that
hee
who
disclaimes
his
owne
interest
,
which
is
right
and
just
,
though
not
so
large
as
he
desires
,
and
flyes
to
another
which
is
answerable
to
his
desire
in
the
extent
,
though
vniust
and
violent
,
should
lose
the
iust
title
which
he
disclaymes
,
and
receiue
no
manner
of
benefit
from
it
?
In
case
of
tenures
(
I
haue
heard
)
that
our
Common
Law
(
which
is
for
the
most
part
grounded
vpon
Reason
)
sayth
;
That
if
a
Tenant
for
life
seekes
to
the
prejudice
of
another
person
,
to
chalenge
a
state
of
Inheritance
,
and
to
pleade
it
;
being
euicted
therein
,
he
loseth
his
first
title
,
and
cannot
fall
backe
to
assume
that
Right
which
before
he
disauowed
.
But
you
will
say
,
The
King
of
Spaine
did
not
disauow
his
title
of
Inheritance
by
birth
.
I
answere
,
by
wordes
(
perhaps
)
he
did
not
;
but
it
is
plaine
,
that
by
ouert
acts
hee
did
,
when
he
sought
to
conquer
his
owne
Inheritance
;
and
so
taught
the
people
to
resist
him
as
a
common
and
publike
enemie
,
who
sought
the
subuersion
of
their
fundamentall
Lawes
and
Liberties
,
and
the
bondage
of
their
Countrey
.
Thus
forgetting
his
owne
duty
first
,
hee
taught
them
to
forget
theirs
afterwards
;
and
seeking
to
inthrall
them
vniustly
,
he
gaue
them
a
iust
cause
and
ground
of
farther
liberty
.

The
Duke
of
Alua
had
neuer
charge
from
Spaine
,
nor
neuer
intention
of
his
owne
to
bring
an
Inquisition
into
the
Netherlands
;
this
is
but
a
meere
calumnie
which
hath
beene
spread
abroad
,
and
giuen
out
by
the
seditious
,
to
foster
the
obstinacie
of
the
people
:
but
had
the
Inquisition
beene
brought
into
the
Netherlands
,
it
had
but
returned
from
whence
in
long
fore-going
yeres
it
came
:
for
you
must
note
,
that
the
Inquisition
was
neuer
inuented
or
brought
vp
in
Spaine
,
or
there
euer
intended
for
Protestants
,
seeing
it
was
in
the
world
many
ages
before
euer
the
world
was
acquainted
with
the
name
of
the
Protestants
,
or
with
any
such
kinde
of
people
as
Protestants
are
:
for
the
Emperour
Charles
the
Great
,
who
liued
about
eight
hundred
yeeres
past
,
did
first
promulgate
and
put
it
in
practise
;
and
the
cause
was
,
that
after
the
Saxons
in
their
Countrey
of
Saxonie
,
(
Holland
,
and
those
annexed
Prouinces
beeing
at
that
time
part
of
the
nether
Saxonie
)
had
beene
brought
from
Paganisme
to
Christianity
;
this
pious
Emperour
hauing
greatly
furthered
it
,
he
had
no
sooner
turned
his
backe
by
reason
of
his
being
impeached
with
warres
in
other
parts
,
but
these
Saxons
turned
from
Christianity
backe
againe
to
Paganisme
;
and
for
such
Apostata's
and
forsakers
of
the
Faith
,
he
ordayned
an
Inquisition
,
the
memory
whereof
gaue
example
,
that
some
ages
after
it
was
renued
and
put
in
practise
in
Spaine
,
for
such
Moores
and
Iewes
,
as
hauing
receiued
the
character
of
Christ
,
fell
back
againe
to
Mahometisme
and
Iudaisme
;
and
albeit
this
Inquisition
was
neuer
intended
(
as
before
is
said
)
to
haue
beene
renued
in
the
Netherlands
,
yet
peraduenture
it
might
haue
prooued
as
necessarie
,
when
signes
appeared
of
the
good
disposition
of
some
there
aswell
to
Mahometisme
as
to
Iudaisme
.
For
diuers
that
are
yet
liuing
haue
seene
written
vpon
the
Targets
or
Roundasses
which
some
of
these
Geus-gallants
did
beare
,
their
resolution
thereunto
,
in
these
words
,
Rather
Turkish
then
Popish
;
which
is
in
effect
,
Rather
Mahomet
then
Christ
:
and
Hollanders
report
themselues
,
that
some
of
their
Countrimen
haue
beene
so
edified
in
the
present
Synagogue
at
Amsterdam
,
that
they
haue
relinquished
their
Christianitie
,
and
are
become
Iewes
;
and
for
defect
of
an
Inquisition
,
had
not
any
thing
said
vnto
them
for
it
;
nor
must
they
,
where
profession
is
made
of
such
conscience-libertie
,
that
euery
man
may
chuse
what
he
will
beleeue
,
or
whether
he
will
beleeue
any
thing
or
nothing
.
But
this
may
seeme
the
lesse
wonder
,
when
there
haue
beene
found
among
these
Geuses
,
a
companie
that
marched
vnder
the
Ensigne
of
the
Deuill
;
for
so
was
the
Ensigne
called
,
because
there
were
depicted
therein
the
Deuils
clawes
,
which
many
that
are
yet
liuing
,
haue
seene
displayed
in
the
towne
of
Leire
in
Brabant
,
at
such
time
as
it
stood
out
in
rebellion
against
the
King
:
and
so
may
you
now
see
how
rebellion
against
the
King
,
and
rebellion
against
God
doe
concurre
together
;
for
whereas
ancient
good
Christians
hauing
beene
taught
by
the
example
of
the
most
glorious
Christian
Emperour
Constantinus
Magnus
to
fight
vnder
the
signe
of
the
Crosse
,
these
new
contrary
Christians
abhorring
that
signe
,
haue
more
deuotion
to
the
clawes
of
the
deuill
,
a
wel-deuised
and
befitting
ensigne
for
such
as
fought
vnder
it

Whereas
you
say
that
the
Duke
of
Alua
had
neuer
any
charge
from
Spaine
,
or
intention
of
his
owne
to
bring
an
Inquisition
into
the
Netherlands
,
affirming
this
report
to
be
a
meere
calumnie
;
I
must
tell
you
,
he
had
not
onely
instructions
to
bring
in
the
Inquisition
,
as
hath
been
formerly
manifested
;
but
,
as
if
that
had
not
bin
sufficient
to
vexe
and
exasperate
the
people
,
by
violating
their
priuiledges
or
principles
of
State
,
he
creates
a
bloudy
Councell
,
or
Councell
of
troubles
,
whereof
hee
made
some
Netherlandish
Lords
,
(
who
had
giuen
ayme
whilst
their
Country
was
brought
into
bondage
,
or
were
vsed
as
instruments
to
captiuate
it
the
sooner
and
safer
by
their
ayde
)
the
shadow
of
this
Tyranny
,
whilst
Spaniards
onely
(
who
were
ioyned
in
the
same
Commission
)
swayed
the
whole
businesse
;
and
all
other
Councels
,
whether
Prouinciall
,
or
that
of
the
Councell
of
Estate
it selfe
,
were
subiected
to
this
;
and
by
this
means
all
things
reduced
to
the
sole
arbitrement
and
absolute
will
of
the
Duke
himselfe
,
who
had
full
and
soueraigne
authoritie
from
the
King
;
The
King
gaue
the
duke
more
authoritie
then
he
himselfe
had
,
because
by
that
meanes
he
hoped
to
haue
it
the
better
himself
afterward
.
So
he
gaue
what
he
sought
,
to
receiue
backe
with
aduantage
.
An
old
point
of
Law-cunning
,
to
gaine
a

Euery

,
but
was
inuested
with

,
freely
to

in

at
pleasure
.
And
whereas
concerning
the
originall
of
the
Inquisition
,
you
say
(
like
a
learned
Antiquary
)
it
was
begotten
by
Charlemain
the
Emperor
,
who
liued
800.
yeres
since
,
and
brought
vp
in
Germany
not
in
Spaine
,
but
thither
caried
onely
for
the
vse
of
Moores
and
Iewes
,
and
might
be
profitably
(
as
you
say
)
returned
into
the
Netherlands
againe
,
to
keepe
them
from
turning
Turkes
and
Iewes
,
to
which
you
finde
them
very
prone
:
I
answer
in
a
word
,
that
the
tyrannies
of
the
Spaniard
,
and
their
impure
and
beastly
conuersation
,
with
their
abominable
Idolatries
,
doth
more
scandalize
the
Moores
and
Iewes
,
and
keepe
backe
,
and
driue
more
of
them
from
the
Faith
,
then
can
be
reuoked
by
the
Inquisition
,
or
any
other
such
bloudy
course
.
And
me
thinkes
,
it
is
better
,
amongst
euils
,
to
bee
a
profest
Turke
or
Iew
,
then
a
counterfeit
,
cruell
,
proud
,
couetous
,
bloudy
and
barbarous
Christian
;
though
(
as
one
saith
)
it
were
better
to
be
no
man
,
then
either
of
both
.
Wherfore
I
would
haue
a
generall
Inquisition
in
all
countries
of
Christendome
,
onely
to
finde
out
such
as
were
hispaniolized
in
the
Dominions
of
other
Princes
;
and
such
would
I
haue
worthily
put
to
the
same
torments
which
they
inflict
vpon
others
for
their
consciences
.
Those
Turks
and
Iewes
you
speake
of
,
would
I
haue
conuerted
by
prayers
,
disputations
,
and
good
examples
of
vertue
and
justice
:
for
no
man
hath
sure
hold
vpon
that
conscience
,
which
is
retained
by
force
from
its
own
choyce
and
liberty
;
and
therefore
you
finde
fault
very
wisely
,
for
that
euery
man
may
beleeue
what
hee
list
in
the
Netherlands
,
as
if
your
holy
Inquisition
had
power
to
make
a
man
beleeue
what
it
list
in
Spaine
;
you
may
force
men
to
confesse
,
perhaps
,
but
you
cannot
force
them
to
beleeue
;
which
is
an
action
of
the
will
subiect
to
no
violence
,
but
the
force
of
perswasion
,
or
the
holy
Spirits
motion
.
And
therefore
considering
what
a
heauy
iudgment
lyes
vpon
them
,
and
how
their
eyes
,
eares
,
and
hearts
are
seeled
and
sealed
vp
,
that
they
cannot
see

heare

those

may

they
will
,
and
then
speake
as
much
blasphemy
against
Christ
,
as
the
Deuill
will
direct
them
to
doe
.
Thus
haue
I
here
shewed
you
what
great
wrong
the
King
of
Spaine
hath
done
this
people
,
and
what
great
cause
they
haue
to
complaine
of
his
breach
of
their
Priuiledges
,
which
is
alwayes
in
their
mouthes
,
albeit
they
would
neuer
vouchsafe
to
produce
any
old
Priuiledge
for
the
robbing
of
Churches
.
I
haue
also
shewed
you
where
the
Inquisition
began
,
and
the
cause
why
it
was
first
put
in
practise
in
Saxony
,
and
afterwards
in
Spaine
;
the
name
whereof
is
now
as
much
put
in
practise
in
Holland
in
continuall
Pamphlets
and
Preachings
,
as
is
the
name
of
a
Bulbegger

Still
you
harpe
vpon
beleeuing
,
till
you
make
me
beleeue
,
and
all
this
good
company
who
heare
vs
this
day
,
that
you
know
not
what
it
is
to
beleeue
.
All
the
Lawes
of
the
Land
against
Romish
Recusants
,
though
they
were
as
duely
executed
as
they
haue
beene
,
could
hardly
perswade
you
to
beleeue
aright
as
you
should
doe
.
And
all
the
euidence
which
your
eares
haue
heard
before
the
Iudges
on
the
Bench
,
and
eyes
haue
seene
vpon
the
Bridge
,
and
top
of
the
Parliament-house
,
can
hardly
perswade
you
to
beleeue
,
that
those
Romane-catholike
crownes
which
now
pearch
aboue
,
did
once
plot
and
practise
below
,
to
blow
vp
the
State
.
An
Inquisition
were
fit
for
you
therefore
,
lest
you
proue
worse
to
vs
through
your
vnbeleefe
,
then
the
Turkes
of
Tunis
,
or
the
Mahometists
of
Amsterdam
that
you
mention
,
can
doe
.
You
need
not
in
the
sterne
of
your
Discourse
recapitulate
the
notable
pieces
which
you
haue
proued
:
for
all
th●t
you
say
,
doth
but
prooue
how
little
you
are
able
to
say
for
your selfe
and
how
you
are
led
rather
by
your
affection
then
reason
.
You
haue
had
euidence
enough
,
that
the
King
of
Spaine
sought
to
plant
a
tyranny
in
the
Netherlands
;
and
yet
lest
these
should
seeme
in
your
eyes
,
or
the
like
,
not
to
be
sufficient
,
I
produce
an
honorable
Ambassage
sent
from
the
Archduke
Mathias
and
the
Generall
Estates
,
to
a
solemne
Assembly
of
the
Princes
of
the
Empire
,
holden
at
Wormes
in
Germany
,
anno
1578.
where
the
Seignior
of
S.
Aldegond
declared
at
large
,
the
miserable
estate
of
the
Netherlands
,
the
designes
and
intent
of
Spaine
,
the
tyranny
of
the
Duke
of
Alua
,
Dom
Iohn
and
others
;
and
withall
,
what
danger
the
Empire
was
to
expect
thereby
,
whilst
those
Countries
should
be
made
the
seate
of
the
warre
,
a
place
of
retreit
and
ga●rison
,
and
a
ready
and
able
Magazine
,
by
reason
of
their
trading
by
Sea
and
the
nauigable
Riuers
,
to
reduce
all
Germany
,
and
so
consequently
all
Christendome
,
vnder
their
obedience
;
if
yet
their
ambitious
aymes
looked
no
farther
.
This
then
was
thought
sufficient
to
put
all
Christendome
vpon
their
guard
;
and
yet
all
this
is
not
sufficient
to
make
you
beleeue
any
thing
,
but
the
golden
Legend
of
Spaine
.
Then
haue
you
the
resolution
of
the
Queene
of
England
to
helpe
them
,
after
mature
deliberation
and
consideration
of
this
their
cause
,
and
the
question
betwixt
them
and
the
King
;
and
after
she
had
long
and
in
vaine
interceded
for
them
to
the
King
,
and
presented
both
the
iustice
of
their
cause
,
and
the
danger
of
his
iniustice
by
diuers
demonstrations
of
loue
to
him
.
Now
this
her
resolution
must
needs
bee
grounded
vpon
the
manifest
and
apparent
iustice
of
the
cause
,
otherwise
Monarches
,
and
a
timerous
woman
especially
,
would
haue
beene
wary
,
euen
for
consequence
sake
,
if
not
for
conscience

how
they
fauoured
or
supported
the
subiects
of
another
Prince
,
at
least
if
they
iudged
them
Rebels
.
But
it
is
cleere
both
by
the
act
it selfe
whereby
shee
vndertooke
their
protection
,
as
also
by
the
reasons
whereupon
shee
grounded
that
resolution
,
that
shee
tooke
them
for
no
Rebels
,
but
for
distressed
people
tyrannized
ouer
by
a
cruell
,
mercilesse
,
and
bloudy
enemy
,
who
by
strange
dealing
,
had
made
himselfe
a
stranger
to
his
owne
.
This
also
might
appeare
by
the
Duke
of
Anjous
acceptance
of
the
title
of
the
Duke
of
Brabant
and
Flanders
;
and
by
the
King
of
France
his
declaration
made
for
approbation
of
the
cause
,
and
conditioning
for
the
title
after
the
death
of
his
brother
the
Duke
of
Anjou
;
which
he
would
not
haue
done
,
being
of
the
Romish
Religion
also
,
if
hee
and
his
wise
Councell
had
not
by
pregnant
proofes
seene
,
that
the
King
of
Spaine
by
his
tyranny
and
intrusion
,
was
falne
from
his
Right
,
and
had
manumissed
them
from
all
necessary
obedience
.
This
lastly
is
confirmed
beyond
question
,
by
the
last
accord
made
betwixt
the
King
of
Spaine
and
these
States
,
wherein
the
title
he
had
is
wholly
relinquished
;
and
he
treates
and
concludes
peace
with
them
,
as
with
free
States
,
to
whom
he
pretends
no
title
;
and
so
entertained
their
Ambassadours
,
as
the
Ambassadours
of
a
Confederacie
.
Besides
,
the
King
of
great
Brittaine
,
France
,
Denmarke
,
Sweden
,
the
State
of
Venice
,
the
Germane
Princes
,
with
other
Nations
in
Christendom
&
without
,
haue
treated
with
them
vpon
the
same
termes
,
and
haue
concluded
peace
,
and
made
leagues
and
alliances
with
them
as
with
free
States
,
acknowledging
them
to
bee
inuested
with
soueraigne
power
in
the
vnited
Body
.
Now
therefore
it
is
iniustice
for
the
King
of
Spaine
to
fall
backe
from
his
former
conclusion
,
made
so
aduisedly
,
and
to
reuiue
his
title
,
as
an
immortall
cause
of
warre
and
bloudshed
;
yea
it
is
iniustice
in
you
,
or
any
other
person
,
to
defend
that
title
by
tongue
,
pen
,
or
hand
.
For
it
cals
both
the
wisedome
and
honour
of
our
owne
King
,
and
of
all
other
Kings
,
Princes
,
and
States
,
who
haue
made
peace
with
that
State
,
into
question
;
yea
it
censures
and
condemnes
them
all
;
it
dissolues
all
those
Leagues
and
Confederacies
of
trade
and
commerce
,
of
warres
offensiue
and
defensiue
,
concluded
with
them
for
the
generall
good
;
and
sets
all
Christendome
in
combustion
,
with
a
Romish
squib
of
reseruation
,
and
Catholike
equiuocation
.
And
surely
,
howsoeuer
you
,
and
such
as
you
,
may
inconsiderately
thinke
meanely
,
and
speake
basely
of
the
wisest
and
worthiest
persons
employed
in
that
State
,
because
you
finde
them
without
traine
,
or
pompe
,
or
titular
vanities
;
and
many
of
them
raised
for
their
experience
,
fidelity
and
wisedome
,
from
meane
stations
,
to
treade
in
those
high
steps
of
authority
and
superioritie
,
(
as
the
Romane
Consuls
had
wont
,
of
whom
one
sayd
,
they
were
all
Kings
)
yet
whatsoeuer
is
vnfit
to
bee
spoken
of
other
Princes
,
is
vnfit
to
bee
spoken
of
them
in
their
places
;
and
the
iust
attributes
you
giue
other
high
Commanders
,
ought
to
be
giuen
them
in
their
vnited
Body
:
And
that
they
exact
it
not
,
proceedes
from
their
lenity
and
humility
;
that
you
giue
it
not
,
proceedes
from
your
ignorance
,
arrogance
,
malice
,
and
pride
.
Therefore
to
conclude
this
poynt
,
the
scrupulous
souldier
,
who
before
either
would
not
see
the
truth
,
or
could
not
iudge
it
,
may
now
be
resolued
of
the
iustice
of
the
warres
,
euen
from
the
King
of
Spaines
owne
confession
and
concession
,
and
from
the
publike
acts
of
his
owne
Prince
and
State
where
he
liues
.
Besides
,
the
miraculous
blessing
and
prosperity
which
God
hath
giuen
to
their
warres
,
shewes
it
is
of
him
;
and
the
policie
and
power
of
Princes
doth
enuie
it
,
and
oppose
it
in
vaine
.
God
blesseth
them
with
peace
,
and
plenty
,
and
riches
in
the
midst
of
warre
,
and
impouerisheth
and
embroyleth
their
opposers
,
in
the
midst
of
peace
:

at

lip
,
so
these

breake

the
fountaine

Gold
and
Siluer
:
God
by
all
these
meanes
confirming
their
cause
,
and
shewing
himselfe
to
be
their
God
,
if
they
will
be
his
people
.
And
this
(
I
thinke
)
shall
serue
to
satisfie
you
,
at
least
to
silence
your
further
clamour
;
shewing
,
that
the
Queene
of
England
was
mooued
to
take
the
Netherlands
parts
out
of
meere
commiseration
of
their
iust
cause
,
and
the
detestation
of
those
Spanish
cruelties
and
tyrannies
vnder
which
they
groned
.
Now
if
you
be
not
weary
of
your
taske
,
let
vs
come
to
speake
of
the
second
reason
,
inducing
that
good
Queene
to
succour
them
;
which
was
,
partly
domesticke
respects
,
mixed
with
other
important
reasons
of

;
namely
,
Because
of
our
auncient
leagues
with
that
people
,
our
daily
commerce
and
intercourse
,
the
dependancie
of
one
State
vpon
another
,
the
assurance
of
their
good
and
approoued
neighbourhood
,
the
feare
of
Spanish
propinquitie
,
especially
as
the
case
stood
with
the
Queene
,
being
sole
,
of
a
contrary
Religion
,
and
obnoxious
to
the
pretences
and
claimes
of
the
next
Successor
,
who
might
be
colourably
assisted
by
the
inuincible
Arme
of
Spayne
,
to
dismount
the
true
Owner
;
and
then
the
pretender
by
the
same
Arme
hoysted
ouer
the
saddle
,
and
so
himselfe
easily
settled
in
the
seate
of
Soueraignty

Before
I
come
to
discourse
about
Queene
Elizabeths
reasons
for
taking
the
Hollanders
parts
,
giue
mee
leaue
,
I
pray
you
,
to
speake
a
little
of
the
vulgar
multitude
here
in
England
,
to
the
end
you
may
consider
of
the
reasons
,
why
they
hate
the
Spaniard
,
and
loue
the
Hollander
,
to
see
how
well
and
wisely
this
loue
and
hatred
is
founded
.
That
England
and
Spaine
haue
anciently
remained
in
great
amity
together
,
Histories
and
Chronicles
wil
witnesse
,
and
the
diuers
alliances
and
marriages
often
made
betweene
these
two
Countries
,
can
also
giue
testimony
thereof
.
True
then
it
is
,
that
the
great
breach
and
hostility
betweene
England
and
Spaine
began
but
in
these
our
dayes
:
let
vs
now
see
and
consider
,
why
and
how
it
began
;
to
wit
,
whether
by
Spaine
or
by
England
.
King
Philip
the
second
of
Spaine
,
as
all
the
world
knoweth
,
did
vpon
the
death
of
Queene
Mary
his
wife
,
giue
place
and
quiet
entrance
vnto
Queene
Elizabeth
;
and
for
further
proofe
of
his
desire
of
continuance
of
peace
and
amitie
with
her
,
hee
freely
gaue
vnto
her
all
Queene
Maries
Iewels
,
they
iustly
belonging
vnto
himselfe
:
he
also
kept
his
Ambassadour
Lidger
in
England
,
as
the
said
Queene
kept
hers
also
in
Spaine
,
professing
outwardly
vnto
him
all
loue
and
amitie
;
and
yet
this
notwitstanding
shee
permitted
secretly
and
vnderhand
,
the
transport
of
Artillery
and
Munition
of
warre
to
the
Moores
of
Granado
,
to
enable
them
to
rebell
,
iust
about
the
very
same
time
,
that
the
Netherland-rebellion
was
determined
to
be
begun
,
that
thereby
the
King
of
Spaine
might
haue
his
hands
full
,
by
beeing
thrust
into
two
wares
at
once
;
both
which
shee
vnderhand
furnished
,
but
more
the
warre
of
the
Netherlands
,
then
that
of
Granado
,
because
of
the
readier
commoditie
.
Soone
vpon
the
contriuing
of
this
plot
,
when
the
King
of
Spaine
,
to
appease
the
Netherland
broyles
in
the
beginning
,
had
sent
the
Duke
of
Alua
with
Forces
into
those
parts
;
and
after
his
arriual
there
,
sent
him
a
supply
of
600000.
crownes
;
some
affirme
it
to
haue
beene
800000
,
She
ceized
vpon
his
money
in
the
west
part
of
England
;
and
hauing
gotten
it
vnder
her
hands
,
did
therewith
assist
his
Netherland
Rebels
,
whereby
this
money
ordained
to
haue
serued
himselfe
against
his
Rebels
,
came
to
serue
his
Rebels
against
him
,
and
bred
besides
this
a
farre
greater
inconuenience
:
for
it
was
the
cause
why
the
Duke
of
Alua
demaunded
the
tenth
penie
of
the
country
peoples
goods
,
whereby
they
became
the
more
alienated
and
apt
to
Rebellion
.
Some
yeeres
after
this
,
Captaine
Drake
was
employed
from
England
to
the
west-Indies
,
where
hee
robbed
the
King
of
Spaine
of
about
a
million
and
an
halfe
of
his
treasure
.
These
and
sundry
other
wrongs
and
detriments
were
done
by
the
said
Queene
vnto
the
King
of
Spaine
,
at
such
time
as
either
had
their
Ambassadours
,
the
ministers
of
peace
,
in
each
others
countrey
,
they
professing
to
each
other
loue
and
amitie
:
the
King
of
Spaine
doing
against
the
Queene
of
England
no
act
whatsoeuer
to
the
contrarie
,
whereas
shee
contrariwise
continued
to
doe
against
him
vnderhand
as
many
wrongs
as
shee
could
,
besides
those
great
notorious
wrongs
here
mentioned
.
But
when
these
grew
so
frequent
,
that
the
smart
vnto
the
King
of
Spayne
became
intolerable
;
and
so
manifested
vnto
the
world
,
that
all
other
Princes
and
people
tooke
notice
thereof
,
how
was
it
possible
that
it
could
stand
with
the
honor
of
a
King
,
and
of
such
a
potent
King
as
is
a
King
of
Spayne
,
still
to
continue
to
put
vp
wrongs
,
as
fast
as
shee
continued
to
doe
them
?
hee
was
therefore
at
the
last
mooued
with
the
preparation
of
his
great
Armada
nauall
of
the
yeere
of
our
Lord
1588.
the
memory
whereof
,
by
the
incessant
clamors
of
puritanicall
enemies
of
peace
,
hath
possessed
more
place
in
the
heades
of
the
inconsiderate
vulgar
multitude
,
then
the
many
great
wrongs
that
inforced
it
.
But
thankes
bee
to
God
,
our
peacefull
King
Iames
comming
to
the
Crowne
,
and
well
knowing
how
matters
had
passed
,
did
(
to
the
great
happines
of
the
Realm
)
salue
vp
this
sore
from
further
festring
,
whereunto
hee
found
Spaine
most
ready
and
willing
,
and
well
content
to
let
passe
and
forget
all
English
iniuries
.
For
to
giue
the
Spaniards
their
due
,
certaine
it
is
,
they
are
men
that
are
not
of
vnreconciliable
and
reuengefull
natures
,
nor
such
long
entertainers
of
desire
of
reuenge
,
as
some
other
Nations
are
said
to
be
:
And
this
appeareth
manifestly
in
this
Nation
more
then
in
others
;
for
notwithstanding
all
fore-going
hostilitie
betweene
Englishmen
and
Spaniards
both
by
sea
and
land
,
and
inuasions
euen
in
Portugal
and
Spaine
it selfe
,
whereof
people
may
remaine
more
sensible
,
then
of
an
vneffectuall
Armada
;
yet
hath
not
any
English
Ambassadour
,
nor
any
other
of
the
English
Nation
beene
by
Spaniards
in
Spaine
barbarously
abused
;
but
I
am
ashamed
(
euen
for
the
honor
of
our
Nation
)
to
repeate
,
how
Spanish
Ambassadors
and
other
Spaniards
haue
beene
vsed
in
England
.
As
for
the
sundry
benefits
which
the
commerce
and
traffique
betweene
England
and
Spaine
hath
brought
vnto
our
Nation
,
I
doubt
not
but
many
of
our
Merchants
,
sea
faring
men
and
others
will
confesse
,
and
farre
more
profit
and
benefite
will
no
doubt
ensue
the
most
honorable
and
great
alliance
now
expected
.
But
let
vs
come
to
our
good
neighbours
and
friends
the
Hollanders
,
and
consider
of
the
gratefull
goodnesse
and
benefits
which
we
reape
by
them
,
that
thereby
wee
may
know
how
well
and
wisely
wee
are
aduised
to
esteeme
them
for
our
good
neighbours
and
friends
,
and
so
friendly
sticking
vnto
them
.
That
we
haue
for
aboue
these
fifty
yeeres
taken
their
parts
is
sufficiently
knowne
;
that
the
people
of
England
haue
oftentimes
generally
smarted
by
the
great
pressures
and
parliamentall
payments
imposed
vpon
them
by
Queene
Elizabeth
,
to
vphold
these
friends
and
neighbours
withall
,
is
likewise
well
enough
knowne
;
as
also
that
great
aboundance
of
English
bloud
hath
beene
shed
in
their
quarrell
,
and
an
infinit
number
of
Englishmens
liues
lost
,
whose
courage
and
valour
was
worthy
of
more
honour
,
then
in
their
base
and
dishonourable
seruice
could
be
deserued
;
and
now
when
all
comes
to
all
,
they
are
so
farre
from
honest
ciuilitie
,
that
they
will
not
acknowledge
any
friendship
done
them
,
and
therefore
can
they
not
entertaine
any
thoughts
of
obligation
or
gratitude
;
nay
,
they
dare
plainely
tell
vs
,
that
wee
are
beholding
vnto
them
,
which
is
as
much
to
say
,
that
they
expect
gratitude
at
our
hands
.
Tawny-scarfe
.
You
long
to
breake
your
malice
vpon
Queene
Elizabeth
,
and
will
goe
farre
about
,
and
much
out
of
the
way
to
doe
it
,
you
should
not
otherwise
shew
your selfe
a
right
Romane
Catholike
,
or
a
right
Spanish
Papist
.
For
our
ancient
Leagues
with
the
Spaniard
which
you
mention
,
we
confesse
it
;
but
you
must
consider
,
then
both
States
were
vassals
to
the
Pope
,
and
England
was
then
accounted
by
that
Strumpet
the
elder
brother
.
Now
Spaine
hath
got
priority
,
and
we
haue
so
much
wit
as
to
know
the
iniury
offered
vs
,
and
to
acknowledge
our
heauenly
progeny
,
renouncing
that
earthly
bastardie
;
and
therfore
must
looke
for
opposition
from
the
Prince
of
this
world
,
and
all
that
take
part
with
him
.
Besides
,
then
Spaine
was
not
so
potent
,
and
so
not
so
formidable
;
the
accesse
of
so
many
Kingdomes
hath
since
possest
him
with
a
more
imperious
spirit
,
and
made
him
terrible
to
his
neighbours
and
confederates
,
rather
then
(
as
he
had
wont
to
be
)
helpefull
vnto
them
.
The
quarrell
betwixt
England
and
Spaine
you
cast
wholly
vpon
Queene
Elizabeth
;
and
by
the
way
,
blame
her
for
suffering
Artillerie
and
Munition
to
bee
caried
out
of
her
Land
to
the
Moores
of
Granado
,
and
for
ceizing
vpon
a
great
summe
of
money
belonging
to
the
King
of
Spayne
,
which
fell
vpon
her
coast
.
Then
you
huddle
vp
that
which
Sir
Francis
Drake
did
against
the
King
of
Spaine
in
the
Indies
,
making
the
King
of
Spaine
like
another
Melchisedec
,
or
king
of
peace
and
iustice
,
to
stand
still
all
the
while
in
a
maiden-like
posture
,
and
neuer
lift
vp
his
hand
to
defend
himselfe
and
annoy
her
,
till
in
88.
he
was
constrained
to
send
that
inuincible
Armado
,
with
a
hope
and
full
purpose
wholly
to
subuert
the
State
of
the
Kingdome
,
and
possesse
himselfe
of
all
.
Now
because
you
finde
a
sort
of
people
;
who
thankfully
and
religiously
keepe
this
deliuerance
in
memorie
,
and
praise
God
for
it
,
those
you
brand
with
the
name
of
Puritans
,
and
are
wonderfully
angry
,
that
they
will
not
giue
the
Catholike
King
and
the
Romane
Catholikes
his
assistants
,
thankes
for
his
courteous
inuasion
,
and
his
royall
,
religious
,
and
gracious
purpose
to
rule
ouer
them
as
mildely
,
as
ouer
the
Netherlands
.
For
answere
to
all
this
,
take
a
view
of
what
the
Councell
of
England
presented
to
her
Maiestie
,
whilst
shee
stood
in
doubt
whether
or
no
shee
should
ayde
the
vnited
Prouinces
against
the
King
of
Spaine
,
where
they
alledge
:
The
great
The
Councel
of
England
say
,
the
King
of
Spaine
hated
the
Queen
&
shew
their
reasons
for
it
:
you
say
vpon
your
bare
word
,
the
Queene
hated
the
King
of
Spaine
,
but
you
shew
no
reason
for
it
.
hatred
conceiued
against
her
by
the
King
of
Spaine
,
for
the
altering
of
his
Religion
in
England
,
which
he
not
long
before
had
planted
therein
:
which
appeared
by
the
treatie
of
peace
made
at
Chasteau
in
Can●bresis
,
holden
in
anno
1559.
wherein
hee
was
very
slacke
and
carelesse
for
procuring
the
deliuerie
of
the
towne
of
The
losse
of
Calls
,
was
a
fruite
of
the
Spanish
match
:
this
killed
Queene
Marie
to
behold
,
when
she
considered
how
contrary
to
the
aduice
of
her
best
Councelors
,
shee
would
proceede
withi
this
marriage
,
though
they
had
warned
her
of
these
euils
aforehand
,
and
told
her
that
the
Spaniards
had
no
respect
but
to
themselues
,
which
shee
would
not
beleeue
,
till
it
was
too
late
to
remedie
.
Calis
vnto
the
English
againe
,
the
which
was
lost
by
meanes
of
his
warres
;
and
on
the
other
side
,
he
caused
the
French
to
deliuer
many
townes
ouer
vnto
the
Duke
of
Sauoy
,
and
left
het
in
warre
both
against
France
and
Scotland
without
any
resistance
.
You
charge
her
for
furnishing
the
Moores
of
Granado
vnderhand
with
munition
,
which
she
is
forced
to
buy
(
as
we
see
)
in
Germany
,
for
her
owne
vse
.
They
shewed
likewise
the
vnkinde
refusall
by
him
made
,
of
passage
thorow
the
Netherland
Countries
with
Munition
,
Armes
,
and
Powder
,
which
shee
as
then
had
caused
to
be
prouided
and
bought
by
her
Factor
Sir
Thomas
Gresham
,
vnto
whom
it
was
denied
.
She
seekes
to
make
leagues
,
and
you
say
shee
desires
to
breake
them
.
Further
,
that
when
her
Maiestie
by
her
Ambassadour
,
the
Lord
Viscount
Montague
,
desired
the
King
of
Spaine
to
reuiew
and
confirme
the
ancient
contracts
made
betweene
his
father
the
Emperor
Charles
the
fift
,
and
her
Predecessors
,
hee
would
by
no
meanes
be
drawne
to
yeeld
thereunto
.
You
complain
of
vs
for
the
Spaniards
and
Spanish
Ambassadors
,
but
will
not
heare
nor
see
this
iniurie
offered
by
them
to
vs
and
ours
.
That
he
had
suffered
the
Inquisitors
in
Spaine
,
to
prosecute
her
poore
subiects
with
all
cruelty
and
extremitie
,
and
commanded
her
Ambassador
out
of
Spaine
,
because
of
his
Religion
.
You
say
,
the
detaining
of
the
Kings
money
was
the
cause
of
this
:
but
could
he
haue
prooued
it
his
,
it
had
not
beene
detained
,
Certaine
Merchants
of
Genoa
layed
claime
to
the
money
.
That
his
Gouernour
,
the
Duke
of
Alua
,
in
the
Netherlands
had
vsed
all
manner
of
hostilitie
and
violence
against
her
subiects
,
arresting
both
their
bodies
and
goods
,
contrary
to
the
ancient
contracts
betweene
England
and
the
Netherlands
.
All
this
is
nothing
in
the
eyes
of
the
Romane
Catholikes
,
who
were
them selues
parties
in
the
busines
,
and
therefore
we
will
heare
with
your
wilfull
blindnesse
:
it
concernes
your
credits
to
ouersee
and
deny
all
this
.
That
he
had
sent
an
Army
into
her
Maiesties
Kingdom
of
Ireland
,
and
with
colours
flying
inuaded
the
sayd
Kingdome
,
vpon
a
supposed
gift
thereof
,
made
vnto
him
by
the
Pope
of
Rome
,
which
he
thereby
excused
,
intending
also
to
enterprise
the
like
against
the
Realme
of
England
,
as
it
manifestly
appeared
by
the
Iesuit
Sanders
letters
to
that
end
dispersed
abroad
,
and
by
the
Iesuit
Chreyghton
,
who
was
then
a
prisoner
:
and
many
other
such
like
practises
also
were
discouered
by
the
dealings
of
bis
Ambassador
Dom
Bernardino
de
Mendoza
in
England
.
Besides
these
many
forepassed
iniuries
,
the
Councell
laid
before
her
Maiestie
the
danger
that
shee
was
to
expect
,
if
the
Spaniard
once
obtained
merum
imperium
,
that
is
,
full
and
absolute
authoritie
in
the
Prouinces
of
the
Netherlands
;
how
hee
would
alter
their
Religion
,
breake
their
auncient
Priuiledges
,
and
subiect
them
wholly
to
his
will
and
pleasure
:
which
done
,
out
of
his
malicious
heart
and
intent
,
hee
would
easily
inuade
England
,
with
the
ayde
of
the
multitude
of
shipping
and
Saylers
of
those
Countries
,
together
with
his
Indian
treasure
:
First
,
Beware
and
looke
about
you
,
all
true-hearted
Englishmen
,
when
you
see
these
practises
reuiued
:
for
they
are
to
the
whole
Kingdome
as
Beacons
fited
,
to
rouze
you
vp
to
watching
and
prayer
,
and
all
other
meanes
to
preuent
these
mischiefes
.
depriuing
England
of
all
trade
of
merchandize
with
the
Netherlands
,
and
within
the
Land
procuring
domesticall
dissention
:
and
that
therefore
shee
was
not
then
to
let
slip
the
present
occasion
,
nor
yet
to
attend
vntill
the
Netherlands
were
fully
planted
with
Spaniards
and
Italians
;
for
that
the
warre
was
not
vndertaken
against
the
Netherlands
,
but
with
a
further
intent
and
meaning
to
make
a
greater
conquest
.
Concerning
that
which
you
say
of
the
good
vse
our
Ambassadors
haue
receiued
in
Spaine
,
and
the
iniuries
the
Spanish
Ambassadors
haue
receiued
in
England
:
I
answere
,
first
you
see
the
English
Ambassadour
was
commanded
out
of
Spayne
for
his
Religion
sake
;
whilst
all
the
Spanish
Ambassadors
haue
had
free
exercise
of
their
superstitions
in
England
,
and
liberty
to
corrupt
others
;
so
as
none
are
barred
from
hearing
of
their
Masses
,
but
all
things
done
as
publikely
as
in
Spaine
.
Besides
,
we
neuer
had
an
Ambassadour
that
plotted
treason
in
Spaine
,
but
the
King
of
Spayne
hath
had
such
in
England
;
as
namely
,
Dom
Bernardin
of
Mendoza
,
who
thereupon
was
chased
out
of
the
Land
like
a
spie
,
and
tooke
not
leaue
like
an
Ambassador
.
The
Chronicles
of
Spaine
cannot
accuse
any
of
our
Ambassadors
to
haue
medled
farther
,
then
in
the
protection
of
Merchants
,
or
discharge
of
duties
and
commands
proper
to
their
places
:
but
how
farre
the
Ambassadours
of
Spaine
haue
intruded
themselues
in
the
affaires
of
England
,
for
the
aduancement
of
the
Romish
Religion
,
and
disposing
Offices
for
that
purpose
,
is
so
notorious
to
the
people
,
as
it
is
no
maruell
,
if
they
haue
suffered
some
indignities
;
nay
,
it
is
a
wonder
they
haue
runne
no
farther
hazard
.
I
make
no
question
had
the
like
actions
beene
vndertaken
in
Spaine
against
the
Romish
Religion
,
by
an
English
Ambassadour
,
the
very
Clergie
of
Spaine
would
haue
stoned
him
out
,
and
the
people
would
scarce
haue
suffered
him
to
passe
vnpunished
,
perhaps
though
the
King
himselfe
would
haue
beene
his
protector
.
The
benefits
of
our
commerce
,
especially
by
this
expected
alliance
you
speake
of
,
the
successe
will
manifest
;
and
we
haue
great
cause
to
hope
it
may
be
good
,
at
least
better
then
it
is
,
in
regard
wiser
heads
haue
the
handling
of
it
,
then
either
yours
or
mine
:
and
yet
I
must
tell
you
,
we
begin
with
no
good
omen
hitherto
,
since
by
way
of
preuention
,
our
Clothes
,
Stuffes
,
and
English
commodities
of
Wooll
are
excluded
,
whereby
the
gaines
wee
get
by
the
alliance
,
will
soone
be
drawne
home
againe
;
Princes
delighting
to
out-reach
one
another
in
these
respects
of
State
.
Had
wee
once
beene
as
wise
to
keepe
our
sheepe
from
thence
;
or
were
we
now
as
warie
to
banish
their
Silkes
,
Veluets
,
Tobacco
,
and
other
needlesse
commodities
from
hence
,
then
wee
might
hap
indeed
to
gaine
by
the
Trading
,
otherwise
we
may
put
the
gaine
in
our
eyes
.
But
the
Customes
would
so
bee
lessened
;
nay
rather
let
the
Commonwealth
sinke
.
For
the
Netherlands
ingratitude
,
I
cannot
accuse
them
,
neither
will
I
excuse
them
:
I
know
many
old
and
worthy
Commanders
,
who
haue
lost
their
bloud
and
bones
in
their
quarrell
,
complaine
of
neglect
,
contempt
,
and
forgetfulnesse
of
former
good
turnes
;
and
perhaps
there
is
too
much
cause
of
their
complaint
:
but
for
my
particular
,
as
I
fight
for
them
,
so
I
haue
my
meanes
from
them
,
and
should
be
taxed
of
ingratitude
my selfe
,
if
I
should
taxe
them
of
what
I
know
not
,
or
feele
not
.
Souldiers
haue
neuer
the
happinesse
to
bee
well
rewarded
,
or
worthily
regarded
as
they
ought
in
any
place
;
the
reason
perhaps
is
,
because
their
employment
is
burthensome
euen
to
those
that
employ
them
:
and
therefore
though
necessitie
procure
their
entertainment
,
yet
that
compulsion
,
together
with
the
person
,
is
alike
vngratefull
.
Looke
into
Greece
and
Rome
,
and
all
great
States
,
how
they
haue
vsed
their
owne
,
and
then
you
will
not
so
much
wonder
,
that
the
idle
,
vnexperienced
,
and
most
inconsiderate
sort
of
people
in
these
Countries
,
vse
strangers
no
better
.
Men
are
apt
to
bury
many
benefits
vnder
the
ruines
of
one
iniurie
:
and
the
West-winde
from
our
Coast
,
blowes
not
so
fauourable
a
gale
vpon
this
as
it
had
wont
;
neither
doe
the
Starres
from
our
Firmament
,
cast
vpon
them
so
happy
an
aspect
and
fruitfull
influence
,
as
heretofore
:
they
therefore
cannot
dissemble
the
alteration
,
but
shew
it
also
in
the
alteration
of
their
lookes
towards
vs.
Another
reason
why
we
receiue
no
better
vse
,
may
be
the
buying
and
selling
of
Places
;
of
which
,
when
the
States
haue
taken
notice
,
as
of
Offices
valuable
at
high
rates
,
they
haue
inquired
into
the
secret
wayes
of
that
gaine
,
and
haue
abridged
it
what
they
could
.
Whereas
,
if
preferment
might
haue
proceeded
the
right
way
in
any
reasonable
manner
,
according
to
the
law
of
Armes
and
Armies
,
that
is
,
freely
to
the
next
successor
as
heire
to
his
predecessor
;
or
to
the
best
deseruer
,
as
purchaser
by
personall
woorth
and
valour
,
then
neither
should
the
Souldier
complaine
of
his
Officer
,
or
the
Officer
of
the
State
:
whereas
now
the
price
is
euer
in
the
eye
of
the
Commander
,
that
he
may
gather
vp
his
money
speedily
by
exaction
,
which
he
hath
disbursed
,
lest
it
proue
too
deare
a
bargaine
;
and
it
is
also
in
the
eye
of
the
State
,
causing
them
to
imagine
the
Commanders
profit
to
be
farre
more
then
it
is
,
for
which
he
venters
so
much
money
,
and
his
life
to
boot
,
as
if
hee
intended
to
buy
danger
.
Another
reason
may
be
,
that
the
State
takes
the
Officer
and
the
Souldier
to
be
incorporated
into
their
Body
;
now
when
naturally
(
of
all
people
in
the
world
)
they
loue
frugalitie
,
(
euen
so
farre
,
as
often
it
turnes
into
a
vice
in
many
)
they
beholding
the
contrarie
prodigalitie
of
our
people
,
especially
in
apparel
and
diet
,
aboue
their
rankes
and
abilities
,
doe
dis-affect
them
as
vnnaturall
ouergrowne
members
to
that
spare
Body
;
not
considering
,
that
brauety
is
tolerable
in
Souldiers
,
if
it
be
so
in
any
profession
.
I
doe
not
meane
that
courtly
and
effeminate
brauerie
of
perfuming
and
powdring
;
(
as
they
vse
to
doe
,
who
would
keepe
corrupt
flesh
from
taynting
)
a
Souldier
neuer
smels
sweeter
,
and
lookes
better
,
no
not
in
the
eye
of
a
Lady
,
then
when
he
is
perfumed
with
sweat
,
and
powdred
with
dust
,
and
painted
or
besmeared
with
bloud
:
nor
yet
doe
I
meane
that
beastly
brauery
,
wherein
the
golden-spangled
Asse
struts
,
and
thinkes
himselfe
better
then
the
man
that
rules
him
and
rides
him
;
but
that
brauery
in
action
(
whilst
euen
the
outward
shew
is
not
affected
nor
neglected
)
which
made
This
is
recorded
for
their
glory
,
and
others
imitation
,
by
the
renowned
Souldier
Sir
Roger
Williams
,
who
was
one
of
those
that
brought
this
kinde
of
brauerie
into
fashion
.
Sir
Francis
Vere
,
and
Sir
Thomas
Baskeruile
(
to
mention
no
more
)
so
notable
in
the
eye
of
the
Prince
of
Parma
and
his
Army
;
when
maintaining
a
breach
furiously
assaulted
,
the
one
was
knowne
by
the
skarlet
Cassocke
dyed
deeper
yet
in
his
owne
and
enemies
bloud
,
and
the
other
by
his
white
Scarfe
and
Fether
,
worne
as
markes
for
his
enuious
and
emulous
enemies
to
shoote
at
in
vaine
,
beeing
aboue
their
reach
.
Now
this
brauery
(
which
is
truely
their
owne
)
may
aswell
bee
performed
in
Buffe
and
Broad-cloath
,
as
in
all
the
anticke
imbroderies
,
and
apish
inuentions
of
our
idle
Age
:
and
this
brauerie
is
not
contemned
,
but
procures
them
honour
and
respect
,
vshers
them
into
the
company
of
best
Princes
and
Peeres
,
makes
their
waies
easie
in
the
greatest
presse
and
crowd
;
attracts
all
eyes
to
gaze
vpon
them
,
though
clad
in
rust
and
copwebs
;
yea
the
more
torne
,
and
rent
,
and
tattered
,
scarified
and
mutilated
euen
to
deformity
,
the
more
faire
,
and
glorious
,
and
admirable
they
shine
both
in
the
eyes
of
this
Nation
,
and
all
others
,
if
they
be
honorable
,
though
they
be
enemies
.
Besides
,
that
brauerie
in
clothes
,
as
it
is
euer
borrowed
of
beasts
,
birds
,
fishes
,
and
wormes
,
so
it
is
often
borrowed
,
or
taken
vp
in
trust
of
poore
men
;
and
this
must
needes
mooue
hate
and
enuie
,
when
the
Souldier
passeth
by
with
the
Merchants
wealth
on
his
backe
,
and
he
in
the
meane
time
,
his
wife
&
children
must
fare
hard
,
goe
thrid-bare
,
and
at
last
breake
for
lacke
of
payment
,
except
by
complaint
he
get
redresse
;
which
nips
the
prodigall
debtor
also
,
and
causeth
him
to
fret
,
rage
,
and
repine
,
as
if
the
iniury
were
done
him
,
because
hee
is
not
suffered
to
doe
what
iniurie
hee
would
,
and
by
his
idle
excesse
to
vndoe
the
industrious
Merchant
and
Artizan
,
of
which
this
Common-wealth
principally
consisteth
.
Now
this
his
profuse
prodigalitie
makes
others
(
though
sober
)
thought
the
worse
of
,
and
so
to
receiue
the
harder
measure
and
censure
at
all
hands
,
as
if
it
were
not
a
personall
and
speciall
fault
,
but
a
generall
disposition
of
the
Nation
,
which
is
a
great
mistake
in
this
matter
.
Lastly
,
the
censorious
Cato's
of
that
Commonwealth
,
seeing
not
onely
themselues
by
trust
,
but
also
their
youth
spoiled
by
the
example
and
conuersation
of
these
ouer-reaching
Gallants
;
and
that
now
their
sonnes
and
daughters
begin
to
reuell
away
their
estates
;
to
shackle
and
manacle
,
to
bridle
and
saddle
themselues
in
silkes
and
veluets
,
in
gold
and
siluer
,
and
to
waxe
wearie
of
that
ancient
and
commendable
frugality
,
which
maintaines
their
liberty
,
must
needes
hate
those
that
they
behold
to
be
the
cause
of
this
vanitie
,
which
threatneth
and
introduceth
slauerie
:
especially
when
they
see
it
proceedes
from
the
imitation
of
the
French
,
English
,
and
Scottish
Nations
,
who
were
first
called
in
by
their
vertue
and
valour
,
to
be
the
bulwards
and
walles
of
their
Commonwealth
;
but
now
pull
downe
with
the
left
hand
,
what
they
built
with
the
right
,
laying
open
by
their
Lucifrian
pride
,
a
breach
wide
enough
for
the
wrath
of
God
,
and
politique
power
of
ambitious
man
,
to
enter
in
front
for
their
destruction
,
These
or
some
of
these
may
be
the
causes
,
why
the
modester
and
better
sort
(
whereof
there
are
many
)
receiue
no
better
vse
,
being
mixt
with
bad
deseruers
;
and
why
(
perhaps
)
they
seeme
to
bee
hated
,
or
at
least
disrespected
,
euen
of
those
for
whom
they
fight
,
and
who
ought
to
prosecute
them
with
all
honorable
attributes
,
reuerent
respects
,
and
ample
rewards
.
But
howsoeuer
,
if
we
compare
their
vse
of
vs
,
with
the
vse
you
haue
and
doe
finde
vnder
the
King
of
Spaine
,
they
will
appeare
most
gratefull
and
respectfull
people
.
How
basely
doe
all
the
English
waite
vpon
the
Spanish
Dons
,
as
if
all
Nations
were
bound
to
fight
for
the
Spaniard
by
a
duty
of
nature
?
You
are
promised
mountaines
at
the
first
entertainment
,
but
are
payed
with
a
bit
and
a
knocke
as
Apes
deserue
.
We
haue
lesse
promised
,
but
that
is
surely
payed
,
though
sometime
something
slowly
.
When
the
King
of
Spaine
is
runne
farre
in
debt
to
any
troupes
,
the
Generals
know
how
(
like
good
husbands
for
their
Masters
profit
)
to
put
such
troupes
vpon
some
desperate
seruice
,
where
few
may
come
off
:
nay
,
they
vse
to
force
them
on
vpon
such
vnassaultable
and
impregnable
workes
,
as
appeared
in
the
siege
of
Bergen
.
So
the
great
Turke
vseth
to
take
townes
,
by
filling
vp
ditches
with
his
owne
men
.
And
this
is
generally
obserued
as
a
difference
betwixt
our
Generals
and
yours
;
your
Generals
care
not
how
many
men
they
lose
to
saue
money
;
our
Generall
cares
not
what
mony
he
spends
in
making
workes
for
the
sauing
of
his
souldiers
liues
vpon
approches
.
The
difference
of
our
accommodation
is
such
,
as
we
neuer
want
victuall
,
and
you
almost
euer
want
it
:
so
that
euery
souldier
with
vs
,
is
,
or
may
be
(
if
his
owne
idlenes
or
ryot
be
not
in
the
fault
)
better
prouided
,
then
the
Commanders
with
you
.
This
appeared
before
Bergen
,
where
1500.
of
your
side
came
running
to
vs
,
driuen
by
meete
necessity
,
for
lacke
of
meat
or
pay
;
of
which
number
,
though
most
were
English
,
yet
there
were
many
of
all
Nations
;
as
Walloons
,
Dutch
,
Italians
,
and
Spaniards
.
Yea
I
my selfe
saw
at
Rees
,
a
seruant
of
the
Earle
of
Gondomare
,
the
late
Spanish
Ambassadour
,
running
away
in
his
Liuerie
,
to
the
English
Beefe
and
Brewesse
:
and
if
such
as
he
,
so
commended
,
fared
so
hardly
,
what
shall
we
thinke
of
other
friendlesse
people
?
And
if
the
Netherlanders
should
say
(
as
you
report
)
that
we
tooke
their
parts
partly
for
our
owne
sakes
,
they
should
say
nothing
but
truth
,
and
it
concernes
vs
so
to
doe
;
yet
this
diminisheth
not
the
cause
of
their
gratitude
;
for
as
in
tennis
the
ball
must
be
tost
to
and
fro
;
so
amongst
friends
,
benefits
and
gratitudes
must
be
interchanged
,
or
else
amitie
ceaseth
,
or
perhaps
dieth
or
turneth
to
enmitie
.
It
concernes
vs
both
equally
therefore
to
keepe
this
ball
vp
,
if
we
intend
to
continue
gamesters
long
;
for
assuredly
were
these
Countries
reduced
to
such
termes
as
the
Spaniard
desires
,
we
could
not
be
safe
,
but
might
certainly
expect
a
present
inuasion
;
and
so
might
they
expect
suddenly
to
be
swallowed
vp
,
if
ours
were
enemie
.
This
the
wisedome
of
their
State
sawe
,
when
they
fought
protection
rather
from
the
Queene
of
England
,
as
beeing
more
fit
,
then
from
the
King
of
France
,
as
being
more
potent
.
And
this
the
wisedome
of
our
State
then
confessed
also
,
when
they
ioyned
with
them
for
the
aptnes
and
oportunity
,
each
State
had
to
helpe
or
annoy
one
the
other
,
aswell
in
commerce
and
trade
,
as
also
in
warres
offensiue
and
defensiue
:
and
I
wonder
thorow
what
new
Spectacles
your
wisdome
,
(
the
wisedome
of
the
present
times
)
sees
the
contrarie
to
the
wisedome
of
the
auncient
,
which
our
experience
hath
proued
&
approued
prosperous
to
both
States
.
Red-scarfe
.
You
say
England
might
feare
an
inuasion
from
Spaine
;
but
what
reason
was
there
,
why
wee
should
haue
any
feare
of
such
an
inuasion
,
but
only
for
our
taking
their
parts
against
their
true
and
lawfull
Soueraigne
the
King
of
Spaine
?
Tawny-scarfe
.
Great
reason
;
for
England
stood
onely
full
in
the
way
to
hinder
his
imaginary
and
intended
Greatnesse
:
and
this
appeares
in
the
Letters
of
Don
Iohn
,
and
Escouedo
his
Secretarie
,
to
the
King
of
Spain
,
discoursing
of
that
point
;
which
were
happily
intercepted
in
their
pass●ge
thorow
Gascoigney
,
to
discouer
that
plot
and
practise
,
and
to
warne
both
the
Queene
and
the
States
,
and
these
times
also
,
if
they
will
bee
warned
,
to
beware
of
that
Snaphance
.
Whereupon
the
Queene
sent
an
Ambassadour
to
the
King
of
Spaine
to
justifie
her
proceeding
,
to
accuse
Don
Iohn
,
to
desire
his
remoouall
from
that
Gouernement
,
and
withall
,
shut
vp
that
message
with
this
conclusion
,
That
if
the
King
should
not
bee
induced
to
like
of
her
proceedings
,
(
wherwith
shee
plainely
made
him
acquainted
)
her
Majesty
should
thereby
discouer
,
that
his
intention
was
,
by
force
of
armes
to
alter
and
dissolue
the
ancient
forme
of
Gouernement
in
the
Netherlands
,
and
by
taking
away
their
ancient
Lawes
and
Liberties
,
to
make
it
a
Land
of
Conquest
,
and
to
people
it
with
Garrisons
of
men
of
warre
;
and
that
the
end
and
scope
of
his
deseignes
should
tend
to
that
which
was
discouered
by
Escouedo's
Letter
,
wherein
he
writeth
,
that
the
enterprise
of
England
is
of
more
facilitie
,
then
that
of
the
Islands
:
whereby
her
Majestie
should
finde
the
disposition
of
so
bad
a
neighbour
to
her
and
her
royall
estate
.
And
then
her
Majesties
resolution
would
be
,
to
imploy
all
the
power
shee
was
able
to
make
,
for
the
defence
of
her
neighbors
,
and
preseruation
of
her
owne
estate
.

But
I
must
tell
you
further
concerning
the
Hollanders
,
that
they
doe
not
only
deny
all
gratitude
where
it
is
due
,
and
vniustly
claime
it
where
they
owe
it
;
but
passing
further
beyond
the
limits
of
reason
and
humanity
,
they
discouer
themselues
to
be
such
monsters
,
as
to
beare
a
very
deuillish
hatred
both
vnto
our
Nation
,
and
to
our
most
gracious
Soueraigne
himself
:
Against
our
Nation
,
their
actions
declare
it
;
against
our
Soueraigne
,
their
villanous
tongues
.
Of
their
most
vile
and
contemptible
vsage
of
our
Nation
in
the
East
Indies
,
I
shall
not
here
need
to
speake
,
the
Letters
written
by
our
Merchants
and
others
from
thence
,
doe
declare
it
;
their
vsage
of
vs
in
Groonland
,
and
the
vndoing
of
our
long-continued
Trade
in
Moscouie
,
I
will
also
omit
;
but
we
find
that
they
are
the
very
caterpillars
and
destroyers
of
our
Commonwealth
,
by
all
the
wayes
and
meanes
they
can
deuise
;
for
they
haue
not
onely
by
meanes
of
their
correspondent
countrimen
,
conueyed
and
drawne
by
stealth
our
Gold
and
Siluer
out
of
the
Realme
,
but
they
haue
brought
the
whole
Realme
in
a
generall
decay
of
traffique
,
to
the
impouerishing
and
vndoing
of
thousands
of
the
inhabitants
,
as
all
that
deale
in
Clothing
in
all
parts
of
the
Realme
will
confesse
.
As
for
their
villanous
speeches
against
our
Soueraign
,
I
could
name
vnto
you
that
Englishman
,
who
passing
not
long
since
betweene
Rotterdam
and
the
Haghe
,
and
hearing
some
of
those
varlets
speake
ill
of
his
Maiestie
,
which
he
(
being
an
Englishman
)
could
not
endure
but
as
became
him
,
did
in
good
manner
reprehend
them
for
it
;
when
straightwayes
a
couple
of
them
drew
their
kniues
vpon
him
to
haue
stabbed
him
;
and
so
had
they
done
,
had
they
not
bin
held
and
kept
backe
by
others
there
present
.
We
haue
a
Prouerbe
,
that
it
is
better
for
some
to
steale
a
horse
,
then
some
to
looke
on
.
What
detriments
indure
we
by
Spaniards
?
where
doe
they
binde
vs
hand
and
foot
,
and
cast
vs
ouer
Indian
rockes
like
dogs
?
where
vndo
they
our
Trade
?
how
impouerish
they
our
Countrie
?
where
rayle
they
vpon
our
Soueraigne
?
are
wee
in
our
right
wits
I
wonder
?
when
we
resolue
to
goe
to
shed
our
bloud
for
those
that
sucke
our
bloud
?
when
we
fight
for
those
at
home
,
that
kill
vs
abroad
?
mee
thinkes
purging
with
Helleborus
were
fitter
nowadayes
to
be
taken
in
vse
of
our
Countrimen
,
then
the
smoake-drinke
of
driueling
Tobacco
.
Tawny-scarfe
.
The
iniuries
and
abuses
offered
to
our
Nation
in
Moscouy
,
Groonland
,
and
the
east-Indies
,
were
not
the
acts
of
the
State
,
but
of
some
wicked
persons
,
who
wearie
of
their
owne
welfare
,
would
as
gladly
haue
the
King
of
Spayne
their
Master
againe
as
you
,
or
any
other
Spanish
Pentioner
could
wish
.
I
know
that
the
baser
and
ignobler
sort
of
these
,
being
mungrell
Spaniards
in
affection
,
and
perhaps
in
bloud
,
where
they
get
the
vpper
hand
,
are
as
mercilesse
as
Moores
or
Spaniards
,
and
like
them
(
being
ouercome
)
are
as
humble
,
seruile
,
and
deiected
.
But
what
meane
you
to
mention
this
?
when
all
the
iniuries
they
haue
done
vs
,
though
they
be
great
,
incredible
,
intolerable
,
vnworthy
that
they
should
inflict
them
,
or
we
suffer
them
,
yet
they
are
nothing
to
that
which
the
Kings
children
haue
suffered
by
a
Spanish
Armie
.
Here
priuate
Merchants
,
or
a
Societie
,
or
Companie
receiued
iniurie
by
them
,
There
the
Kings
children
,
Religion
,
the
Reformed
Church
,
suffered
shipwracke
,
by
the
insulting
,
cruell
,
and
bloudy
Spaniard
;
and
many
thousands
of
Christians
were
martyred
after
a
barbarous
and
butcherly
manner
;
yea
vpon
all
aduantages
,
euen
vnder
tearmes
of
Treatie
and
Peace
.
And
this
whilst
Spaine
had
league
with
our
State
,
yea
whilst
the
Townes
were
vnder
our
Kings
protection
;
whilst
the
Army
was
payed
by
our
King
,
and
the
Generals
hands
bound
for
attempting
against
them
,
yea
almost
from
defending
himselfe
;
and
whilst
an
Ambassadour
lay
vpon
purpose
to
make
their
entrance
more
easie
,
and
to
grant
what
their
ambitious
humours
could
desire
,
in
hope
with
kinde
vsage
to
glut
their
vnsatiable
gorges
,
and
to
force
them
reciprocally
to
returne
some
solide
and
reall
(
besides
complementall
and
verball
)
courtesies
:
yea
whilst
they
were
kissing
the
one
cheeke
of
our
King
,
they
were
smiting
the
other
;
kissing
the
Prince
,
as
if
they
meant
to
deifie
him
,
and
giue
him
all
theirs
;
smiting
his
royall
,
louing
,
and
onely
Sister
,
and
by
force
taking
away
all
that
was
Hers
.
For
that
which
you
say
concerning
the
Netherland
caterpillers
drawing
away
our
Gold
,
and
destroying
our
Trafficke
,
I
acknowledge
it
to
be
partly
true
,
yet
I
doubt
the
Romish
locusts
,
those
Babylonish
Merchants
spoken
of
Reuel
.
9.
and
18.
are
more
in
fault
in
those
respects
,
then
the
Netherlandish
caterpillers
.
If
we
consider
the
pensions
,
the
vnder-hand
gatherings
,
the
maintenance
giuen
towards
Schooles
and
Seminaries
in
all
Popish
Countries
,
euen
out
of
England
;
the
building
of
Nunneries
,
Monasteries
,
and
other
irreligious
Houses
;
the
hee
and
shee
Votaries
,
that
of
late
dayes
(
especially
since
the
Proclamation
commanded
the
contrarie
)
haue
carried
out
their
plentifull
portions
thither
,
you
will
easily
iudge
,
that
the
caterpiller
hath
not
cropt
our
blooming
fruit
of
Hesperides
,
so
much
as
the
locust
;
and
so
by
consequence
,
spirituall
merchandizing
in
Idolatrie
,
hath
more
hindred
our
Trade
,
then
the
vnder-hand
pettie
thefts
(
in
comparison
of
the
other
)
committed
by
a
few
pedling
and
pilfering
Merchants
.
And
all
men
know
,
decay
of
Trade
necessarily
and
naturally
followes
the
decay
of
Coyne
:
so
the
spirituall
traffique
of
Rome
hath
more
decayed
our
Trade
in
all
Countries
,
then
the
temporall
trading
of
Amsterdam
.
For
I
haue
credibly
heard
related
from
the
mouth
of
a
worthy
witnesse
,
that
at
one
time
there
hath
beene
payed
200000.
pounds
in
English
gold
in
to
one
of
those
spirituall
Bankes
,
for
and
toward
the
building
and
repairing
of
certaine
Monasteries
,
and
payment
of
portions
,
and
other
allowances
for
such
of
the
English
,
as
haue
entred
into
religious
Orders
;
for
they
will
take
none
empty-handed
;
and
what
they
take
is
with
a
mort-main
,
whereas
the
Merchant
yet
trades
,
and
returnes
something
againe
that
hath
sauour
.
I
produce
this
one
payment
,
not
as
if
it
were
all
,
but
that
by
this
one
notable
transportation
of
English
treasure
,
we
may
guesse
at
many
others
vnknowne
.
Besides
,
with
what
disaduantage
our
Merchants
trade
by
reason
of
Religion
,
and
how
this
also
deads
their
dealings
,
making
them
obnoxious
to
the
couetous
Spaniards
,
and
so
a
prey
to
their
pleasures
,
all
the
world
knowes
.
I
am
glad
to
heare
you
so
angry
with
those
varlets
that
betwixt
Rotterdam
and
the
Haghe
spake
ill
of
his
Maiestie
:
The
case
is
either
alterd
with
you
since
father
Parsons
died
,
or
else
perhaps
you
thinke
it
becomes
none
to
rayle
but
men
of
your
Religion
;
you
forget
the
bookes
printed
at
Louaine
,
and
those
published
in
Flanders
,
Brabant
,
and
Spaine
,
for
repressing
of
which
,
Ambassadours
haue
beene
sent
from
England
,
and
pensions
giuen
to
some
for
bastinadoing
the
Authors
,
when
no
other
satisfaction
could
be
gotten
of
the
State
.
You
forget
also
those
infinit
songs
,
libels
,
and
obscene
discourses
made
against
his
Maiestie
heretofore
;
for
writing
,
or
venting
,
and
dispersing
whereof
,
such
as
you
haue
gotten
Romish
pensions
.
All
these
are
forgotten
,
or
by
you
past
by
,
though
their
sweet
remembrance
remaines
still
with
many
,
as
the
snuffe
of
a
candle
new
put
out
.
As
for
the
Bores
you
speake
of
,
they
are
as
wide
mouthed
as
you
;
their
throats
open
sepulchres
,
their
tongues
stretcht
out
vpon
the
largest
Last
,
and
in
the
midst
of
their
cups
and
Tobacco
,
will
forget
the
honour
of
God
and
man
,
caring
no
more
to
raile
at
a
Prince
being
out
of
his
reach
,
then
you
do
to
blaspheme
God
himselfe
,
when
a
Priest
stands
at
your
elbow
ready
to
absolue
you
;
nor
to
draw
their
kniues
vpon
you
beeing
inraged
with
drinke
,
then
you
vpon
Kings
,
made
drunke
before
with
the
cup
of
the
Whores
abomination
.
But
this
must
not
be
made
a
fault
of
a
whole
Nation
,
no
more
then
your
personall
follies
shall
be
imputed
to
all
Romane
Catholiques
;
nor
must
wee
for
a
drunken
Skippers
tongue
,
leaue
the
protection
of
our
more
modest
friends
and
neighbours
,
with
whom
these
are
mixed
,
as
base
earth
amongst
gold-Ore
;
such
a
resolution
were
madnesse
,
and
would
require
a
purge
of
Hellebore
indeed
,
as
you
learnedly
aduise
;
though
your
aduice
,
if
it
were
wisely
followed
,
would
be
to
the
great
hinderance
of
the
Spanish
Trade
,
that
we
in
England
should
giue
ouer
Tobacco
,
beeing
a
principall
Commoditie
wee
fetch
from
thence
,
to
the
vndoing
of
our selues
,
and
the
inriching
of
him
and
his
State
,
which
I
am
sure
is
agreeable
to
your
Catholike
wish
.
Lastly
,
where
you
demand
what
detriment
we
endure
by
the
Spaniard
,
and
where
they
binde
vs
hand
and
foote
,
and
cast
vs
ouer
Indian
rockes
like
dogs
,
&c.
I
am
forced
for
answere
to
touch
vpon
two
or
three
strange
and
stupendious
stories
,
amongst
infinite
others
left
behinde
as
ill
or
worse
,
thereby
to
giue
your
blinde
and
wilfull
partialitie
some
satisfaction
.
I
passe
by
all
that
incredible
crueltie
which
the
Spaniards
haue
and
do
exercise
towards
the
Indians
;
the
Lyon
,
History
of
the
West-Indi●s
.
the
Wolfe
,
Dogge
,
Vulture
,
Kite
,
or
if
there
bee
any
other
bird
or
beast
more
rauenous
and
●apacious
,
are
not
so
cruell
to
their
owne
kinde
nor
to
others
,
(
perhappes
as
not
knowing
the
wayes
to
doe
it
)
as
these
men
,
(
if
we
may
call
them
so
)
who
seeme
to
haue
reason
to
no
other
end
,
but
to
exceed
these
bruits
and
beasts
,
in
all
sauage
,
brutish
,
or
(
beyond
that
)
deuillish
cruelties
.
Eyes
,
eares
,
nose
,
lippes
,
hands
,
feet
,
body
,
soule
,
nothing
is
spared
,
but
all
spoyled
for
their
pleasure
:
as
if
it
were
not
this
or
that
man
,
but
mankinde
,
that
they
intended
to
destroy
;
and
with
cursed
Cain
,
would
haue
the
possession
of
the
whole
earth
alone
;
and
with
Ismael
,
hauing
their
hands
against
euery
man
,
would
stirre
euery
mans
hand
against
them
in
their
owne
needfull
defences
.
Neither
will
I
once
mention
what
they
doe
by
Sea
or
Land
to
the
Netherlandish
people
,
who
commonly
pay
them
againe
in
their
owne
coyne
,
hauing
learnt
of
them
to
deface
Gods
images
,
and
to
stampe
the
deuils
there
in
bloud
and
reuenge
,
especially
in
the
East-Indies
.
Neither
yet
will
I
mention
what
the
French
haue
felt
in
Florida
,
History
of
Florida
.
where
Pedro
de
Melendes
hung
vp
all
the
Frenchmen
vnder
the
command
of
Laudouice
,
with
this
inscription
ouer
their
heads
,
I
doe
not
this
as
vnto
Frenchmen
,
but
to
Lutherans
and
Heretiques
.
A
watch-word
and
a
mirrour
to
ours
abroad
in
Virginia
and
the
Bermuda's
,
as
also
to
vs
at
home
,
to
teach
vs
to
beware
,
and
behold
what
courtesie
we
are
to
expect
from
them
where
they
are
masters
;
and
how
they
can
hang
vp
some
for
being
Heretiques
,
others
for
being
of
this
or
that
Nation
,
and
others
for
being
men
,
and
so
spare
none
,
but
in
fine
hang
vp
all
for
their
profit
.
But
they
will
not
deale
thus
by
the
English
;
no
doubtlesse
,
they
loue
their
heart
blouds
too
well
;
looke
vpon
these
examples
that
follow
for
your
learning
,
and
then
tell
me
what
you
thinke
:
for
these
are
knowne
for
truths
to
euery
Sayler
in
Radcliffe
.
About
twelue
or
fourteene
yeeres
since
,
there
was
a
ship
sent
from
London
called
the
Vlysses
,
to
Trinidado
to
trade
for
Tobacco
;
which
our
Merchants
had
wont
to
doe
,
in
the
time
that
Berea
gouerned
there
:
but
at
this
time
the
gouernement
was
changed
,
Berea
beeing
sent
vnto
Mexico
,
and
those
parts
gouerned
by
the
King
of
Spaines
Officers
.
The
Merchants
and
Owners
of
this
ship
thinking
they
might
trade
peaceably
as
they
were
wont
,
shot
off
a
piece
of
Ordinance
according
to
the
custome
,
to
signifie
their
arriuall
,
and
desire
to
trade
as
they
vsed
to
doe
;
vpon
which
the
Spaniards
came
to
the
shores
side
,
shewing
out
their
white
Flagges
in
token
of
peace
:
and
our
Merchants
so
assured
,
after
the
manner
of
all
Nations
that
beleeue
a
God
,
or
loue
men
like
themselues
,
came
ashore
;
where
presently
the
Spaniards
ceized
vpon
all
that
landed
,
to
the
number
of
27.
persons
,
and
kept
them
,
as
they
pretended
,
for
hostages
,
but
would
neuer
deliuer
them
,
till
they
had
for
their
ransome
drawne
the
ship
so
dry
of
Amunition
,
clothes
,
victuals
,
and
all
other
necessaries
,
as
shee
could
spare
no
more
,
hauing
left
her selfe
scarce
enough
to
bring
her
home
:
which
when
the
Spaniards
perceiued
,
●nd
sawe
withall
,
that
they
could
not
by
falshood
possesse
the
ship
,
they
tooke
the
27.
prisoners
;
and
in
stead
of
setting
them
free
,
and
sending
them
home
as
they
promised
and
conditioned
,
bound
each
of
them
to
a
seuerall
tree
,
and
in
the
sight
of
the
Sunne
,
and
in
the
eye
of
their
lamenting
friends
on
shipboord
,
who
could
not
helpe
them
,
cut
their
throates
,
and
left
them
there
and
went
their
wayes
:
so
that
when
their
companions
came
on
shore
,
they
beheld
the
wofull
spectacle
,
but
could
doe
no
farther
courtesie
to
them
,
then
couer
their
bodies
with
earth
,
burying
them
with
a
peale
of
cryes
and
imprecations
sent
to
heauen
,
for
iust
vengeance
to
bee
powred
vpon
that
perfidious
place
and
people
.
About
two
yeeres
after
,
a
ship
of
South-hampton
came
thither
,
the
Merchant
of
which
named
Chamberlaine
,
had
beene
there
the
yere
before
,
and
there
was
owing
to
him
an
hundred
pounds
of
Tobacco
:
hee
,
making
no
question
but
all
had
beene
well
,
leaped
ashore
to
trade
with
the
Spaniards
,
and
was
presently
taken
,
and
his
throat
cut
in
the
sight
of
them
that
were
in
the
Boate
,
who
hardly
scaped
.
In
that
Apologie
written
by
Sir
Walter
Raleigh
a
little
before
his
death
,
he
shewed
,
how
the
Spaniards
in
America
did
tye
the
English
(
out
of
a
ship
wherein
M.
Hall
of
London
and
him selfe
were
partners
)
backe
to
backe
,
and
cut
their
throats
after
they
had
traded
with
them
a
whole
moneth
,
and
trayned
them
ashore
in
trust
of
their
fidelities
,
without
so
much
as
a
sword
or
any
other
weapon
amongst
them
all
to
defend
themselues
.
And
if
(
saith
he
)
the
Spaniards
to
our
complaint
made
answere
,
that
there
was
nothing
in
the
Treatie
against
our
Trading
in
the
Indies
,
but
that
we
might
trade
at
our
perills
,
I
trust
to
God
(
saith
he
)
the
word
perill
shall
euer
be
construed
indifferently
to
both
Nations
,
otherwise
wee
must
for
euer
abandon
the
Indies
,
and
close
all
our
knowledge
and
pilotage
in
that
part
of
the
world
.
Thus
hee
:
And
how
vnreasonable
this
is
,
euen
such
as
looke
into
the
Map
of
America
,
may
judge
at
first
sight
.
America
is
more
then
the
fourth
part
of
the
knowne
world
,
the
hundreth
part
whereof
is
neither
possest
nor
knowne
by
the
Spaniard
,
who
wants
men
to
people
what
hee
hath
grasped
already
.
Why
then
should
not
our
King
employ
his
numerous
Nations
that
way
,
for
the
strengthening
and
enriching
of
his
owne
State
;
enlarging
the
bounds
of
Christendome
,
and
spreading
of
the
Gospel
with
freedome
?
especially
considering
,
as
the
Spaniard
lackes
men
for
his
land
,
so
the
King
lackes
land
for
his
men
,
who
therfore
are
forced
to
people
Poland
,
Sweden
,
Denmarke
,
Germanie
,
France
,
and
to
range
in
those
and
other
parts
,
as
if
th●y
had
no
natiue
habitation
:
for
in
all
these
places
there
are
swarmes
of
our
people
,
who
are
meerely
lost
and
scattered
out
o●
his
Majesties
Dominions
,
to
the
strengthening
of
other
parts
,
and
weakning
our
owne
State
.
Surely
God
intended
not
the
Indies
to
be
ingrost
by
the
Spanish
Nation
alone
,
who
cannot
people
the
least
part
of
it
;
but
rather
for
all
Nations
that
can
plant
it
,
and
withall
plant
and
spread
the
Gospel
of
saluation
through
Iesus
Christ
our
Lord
,
which
belongs
to
all
Nations
as
well
as
to
the
Spanish
;
though
they
,
to
blinde
the
eyes
of
ignorant
and
superstitious
Christians
,
haue
styled
themselues
the
onely
Catholike
Christians
.
Thus
much
by
the
way
,
though
I
hope
I
be
not
out
of
the
way
in
saying
so
much
:
for
this
engrossing
of
the
earth
is
a
note
of
their
cruelty
.
I
now
with
your
patience
,
will
returne
to
the
matter
in
hand
more
directly
.
I
hope
(
saith
the
same
Sir
Walter
Raleigh
a
little
after
)
the
Ambassadour
doth
not
esteeme
vs
for
so
wretched
and
miserable
a
people
,
as
to
offer
our
throats
to
their
swords
without
any
manner
of
resistance
.
The
law
of
the
Land
,
nor
any
powerfull
Proclamation
,
did
euer
intend
to
binde
our
hands
and
feete
,
and
deliuer
vs
like
calues
to
Spanish
butcheries
,
&
neuer-before
heardof
cruelties
;
amongst
which
,
take
this
one
for
conclusion
,
because
it
is
a
prettie
one
taken
out
of
the
Schoole
where
all
kinde
of
extracted
tyrannie
is
taught
,
and
performed
in
imitation
of
the
Spanish
Inquisition
,
which
you
and
so
many
Romish
Catholiques
so
much
like
and
allow
of
,
and
desire
to
h●ue
transported
into
these
parts
,
for
the
profit
of
the
Netherlands
,
and
perhaps
of
England
also
.
The
storie
is
this
;
a
short
one
,
and
a
sweet
one
,
if
honie
could
make
it
so
:
One
M.
Burch
a
Factor
,
beeing
in
the
west
Indies
to
trade
peaceably
,
was
taken
by
the
Spaniards
,
stript
starke
naked
,
bound
to
a
tree
,
anoynted
all
ouer
with
wilde
honie
,
in
a
fennie
place
subiect
to
Musketoes
,
and
so
suffered
either
to
perish
by
famine
,
or
stung
to
death
by
that
new-inuented
torture
of
Flies
.
Was
not
this
a
most
exact
peece
of
crueltie
,
which
none
but
the
great-witted
Spaniards
,
who
daily
trade
in
bloud
vp
to
the
eares
,
could
possible
haue
found
out
?
These
were
their
crafts-masters
in
the
art
of
Murther
;
Phalaris
himselfe
might
here
haue
beene
bound
prentise
.
To
conclude
this
poynt
,
it
is
present
death
for
any
Nation
but
the
Spanish
,
to
bee
found
vpon
that
Westerne
Continent
,
though
they
commit
no
other
fault
;
nay
,
though
they
bee
driuen
by
stormes
vpon
that
Coast
;
but
they
leaue
the
manner
of
●he
death
to
the
arbitrarie
sentence
of
that
person
,
who
gouernes
the
place
where
such
are
taken
;
because
they
know
them
to
bee
very
mercifull
men
,
and
such
as
studie
the
easiest
way
of
vndoing
that
great
Worke
of
humanitie
which
God
hath
made
,
and
of
breaking
that
knot
of
ciuill
Commerce
and
Societie
,
which
man
with
man
hath
found
out
by
Gods
direction
to
Noah
.
And
now
I
hope
you
will
take
heede
how
you
aske
any
more
such
childish
Questions
as
this
,
lest
you
giue
mee
occasion
to
lay
more
of
your
Spanish
courtesies
open
to
the
eare
and
eye
of
euery
hearer
and
beholder
,
much
against
your
gorge
.
Howsoeuer
,
all
that
you
can
say
is
not
auaileable
to
draw
vs
from
this
people
to
a
woorse
,
as
you
would
;
or
to
mooue
vs
to
leaue
that
seruice
wherein
wee
haue
beene
●rayned
vp
in
all
militarie
perfection
.
This
change
might
shew
out
leuitie
,
when
Souldiers
should
doe
actions
that
onely
sauour
of
settled
soliditie
,
a
vertue
proper
for
the
best
men
.
Red-scarfe
.
Nay
Sir
,
you
should
by
leauing
the
seruice
of
that
vngratefull
Nation
,
giue
a
good
example
to
the
rest
of
the
English
to
follow
.
Tawny-scarfe
.
I
haue
serued
some
yeeres
alreadie
in
Holland
,
and
intend
to
returne
thither
againe
with
more
heart
then
euer
before
;
in
regard
I
haue
heard
the
woorst
you
can
say
,
and
that
woorst
is
little
or
nothing
to
the
purpose
,
to
alter
any
mans
resolution
,
that
is
not
before
a
Traytour
or
Turne-coate
,
but
rather
may
serue
to
confirme
them
in
the
iustice
of
those
Warres
.
Red-scarfe
.
I
could
then
wish
,
if
you
bee
obstinately
bent
,
to
returne
and
serue
them
,
that
both
you
and
the
rest
of
your
English
friends
would
resolue
to
serue
them
as
they
ought
to
bee
serued
;
such
trickes
I
meane
,
as
might
reuenge
some
of
the
villanies
and
wrongs
they
haue
offered
vs.
Tawny
scarfe
.
I
guesse
at
your
meaning
;
for
now
you
discouer
your selfe
,
and
appeare
in
your
right
colours
:
but
such
courses
become
not
the
Religion
of
Christians
,
but
Antichristians
;
such
as
were
Stakenbroek
,
Berwoets
,
Merchant
,
Stanly
,
Yorke
,
Patton
,
and
Symple
,
with
many
others
,
who
may
haue
Dispensations
for
their
Oathes
,
and
Vmbrilloes
for
their
humours
,
as
Philip
the
second
had
for
his
Oath
taken
to
maintaine
the
Netherland
Liberties
;
wee
that
know
there
is
a
God
who
will
not
bee
mockt
,
know
,
that
Honour
cannot
bee
without
Honestie
.
Therefore
in
answere
to
this
poynt
,
I
may
vse
the
wordes
of
the
olde
Prince
of
Orange
in
his
Apologie
,
where
hee
sayth
:
If
the
Spaniards
esteeme
such
traytours
for
Gentlemen
,
and
that
men
by
such
meanes
bee
aduanced
to
honour
in
Castile
,
it
is
no
maruell
if
all
the
world
beleeued
,
that
the
most
parts
of
the
Spaniards
(
especially
those
that
held
themselues
Nobles
and
Gentlemen
)
descended
from
the
Moores
and
Iewes
,
and
obserue
that
good
qualitie
,
as
ingrafted
in
them
from
their
Fore-fathers
,
that
betrayed
our
Lord
and
Sauiour
Iesus
Christ
,
and
gaue
Iudas
money
to
deliuer
him
vnto
them
,
that
they
might
crucifie
him
.
The
true
honorable
bloud
of
the
English
know
better
,
except
it
be
tainted
by
Romish
corruptions
,
then
to
dishonour
themselues
,
Countrie
,
and
Nation
,
by
such
perfidious
and
treasonable
Actes
:
yea
if
the
States
should
deserue
as
ill
(
as
Standly
,
Yorke
,
and
the
rest
pretended
for
their
owne
excuses
)
yet
wee
know
,
that
there
is
a
precept
that
willeth
vs
,
to
doe
good
for
euill
.
Red-scarfe
.
That
is
well
done
where
euill
is
thereby
amended
,
but
your
doing
good
where
you
doe
,
makes
evill
become
worse
.
But
let
me
now
returne
to
speake
somwhat
of
Queene
Elizabeths
reasons
to
take
the
Hollanders
partes
.
And
first
I
must
tell
you
,
that
Queene
Elizabeth
did
neuer
take
their
partes
vpon
compassion
of
their
cause
,
in
regard
of
any
wrong
which
she
knew
the
King
of
Spaine
did
them
;
for
she
could
not
but
know
them
to
be
as
very
notorious
rebels
as
euer
were
any
in
the
world
,
and
therefore
was
her
assistance
not
giuen
,
because
she
loued
them
,
but
because
she
hated
the
King
of
Spaine
,
and
so
made
vse
of
them
as
the
instrumentes
of
her
hate
.
Tawny-scarfe
.
All
this
is
answered
before
,
yet
you
must
repeate
old
matter
,
where
you
want
new
.
Wee
must
heere
take
your
word
,
and
beleeue
you
by
an
implicite
faith
,
without
reason
or
proofe
,
before
the
manifest
reasons
of
Religion
and
State
,
and
before
the
honorable
and
publique
protestations
of
that
worthie
among
women
,
Queene
Elizabeth
,
who
never
brake
her
word
.
She
tooke
their
part
,
partly
for
compassion
;
she
neither
knew
them
Rebels
,
nor
counted
them
so
;
but
if
she
hated
the
King
of
Spaine
,
then
must
there
be
cause
why
she
hated
him
;
and
hating
him
,
she
had
reason
to
fauour
and
foster
those
that
hated
him
aswell
as
her selfe
,
or
rather
that
were
hated
by
him
as
she
herselfe
was
.
Reds-carfe
.
I
pray
,
Sir
,
for
the
instruction
of
my
ignorance
,
tell
me
the
cause
why
she
hated
him
.
Tawny-scarfe
.
You
should
tell
the
cause
,
since
you
produce
the
effect
,
and
it
were
enough
for
me
to
say
there
was
no
cause
,
ergo
,
there
could
not
be
such
an
effect
;
yet
because
this
will
not
answere
men
of
your
humor
,
I
say
farther
,
that
I
doe
not
thinke
she
hated
his
person
,
but
rather
prosecuted
it
with
all
honorable
offices
of
loue
;
yet
I
may
imagine
(
and
wee
see
it
euident
)
that
she
feared
his
encroaching
power
;
and
whom
wee
feare
in
any
kinde
,
wee
are
said
to
hate
in
some
sort
.
Red-scarfe
.
You
know
no
iust
cause
nor
any
man
els
,
why
she
should
hate
him
;
but
you
say
,
you
must
imagine
there
was
a
cause
;
but
this
must
is
not
forceable
,
vnlesse
it
were
a
cleere
case
,
that
neuer
any
man
were
causelesly
hated
.
But
to
tell
you
the
true
cause
why
indeed
she
hated
him
,
it
was
no
other
then
for
doing
her
good
.
Tawny-scarfe
.
That
me
thinkes
is
impossible
.
Red-scarfe
.
Impossible
only
to
good
&
gratefull
minds
.
The
King
of
Spaine
in
her
sisters
Queene
Maries
time
,
did
her
no
lesse
good
then
the
sauing
of
her
life
;
and
experience
hath
often
shewed
,
that
there
are
some
kinde
of
people
,
that
can
neuer
abide
those
that
they
are
very
deepely
beholding
vnto
;
because
they
thinke
the
obligation
of
gratitude
to
be
a
bondage
;
whereas
want
of
gratitude
,
when
it
consisteth
in
the
will
,
and
not
in
the
power
,
is
monstrous
and
not
humane
.
Tawny-scarfe
.
In
laying
ingratitude
to
that
blessed
Queenes
charge
,
you
shew
your
malice
,
you
vomit
your
poison
,
and
say
all
that
a
diuelish
aduersarie
can
invent
against
an
innocent
Lady
.
Neuer
could
any
of
her
owne
obliged
men
,
neuer
could
any
priuate
person
accuse
her
of
this
crime
;
much
lesse
would
she
giue
iust
cause
to
such
a
potent
King
,
such
an
able
State
,
apt
to
take
exceptions
,
so
attended
by
viperous-tongued
raylers
of
an
other
Religion
,
to
publish
her
ingratitude
in
this
kinde
to
the
world
.
Besides
,
that
the
King
of
Spaine
saued
her
life
,
can
neuer
be
proued
,
albeit
she
was
imprisoned
in
her
Sisters
time
,
yet
she
was
neuer
brought
to
any
publique
tryall
,
and
so
there
was
no
sauing
of
her
life
needfull
,
she
not
being
by
law
found
guilty
.
Red-scarfe
.
If
it
had
come
to
that
it
had
gone
hard
with
her
,
but
the
King
of
Spaine
preuented
it
,
and
thereby
not
only
saued
her
life
,
but
also
her
honor
.
Tawny-scarfe
.
But
how
is
this
proued
?
Red-scarfe
.
That
there
were
diuers
conspiracies
of
treason
in
her
sisters
time
is
euident
,
that
she
was
apprehended
,
and
put
in
prison
vpon
them
is
euident
;
that
she
was
the
only
hope
and
obiect
of
the
conspirators
is
euident
,
and
that
some
of
them
accused
her
,
is
also
euident
:
for
Religion
her
troubles
were
not
,
because
she
made
profession
of
the
Religion
of
her
sister
,
and
daily
heard
Masse
:
some
cause
there
must
be
of
her
apprehension
,
which
must
also
be
some
great
cause
:
for
no
I
returne
your
owne
interrogation
:
was
neuer
any
apprehended
and
imprisoned
without
cause
to
be
the
Queenes
siiter
&
next
heire
to
the
crowne
,
is
cause
enough
to
worke
iealousie
and
suspicion
amongst
Princes
,
who
will
take
an
easy
occasion
to
imprison
their
Expectant
.
small
cause
can
vrge
the
calling
in
question
&
apprehension
of
the
sister
of
a
Queene
Regnant
,
and
her
next
and
apparent
heire
:
but
I
will
leaue
the
beleefe
of
this
to
your
owne
leisure
and
pleasure
,
when
you
shall
haue
better
thought
vpon
it
,
or
better
enformed
your selfe
about
the
matter
.
Tawny
scarfe
.
Now
you
come
to
supposition
,
collection
,
and
presumption
,
where
you
want
proofe
,
and
so
colour
or
couer
the
hatred
of
your
Popish
Clergie
and
their
cursed
cruelties
against
Queene
Elizabeth
,
with
a
supposed
crime
in
the
cloudes
.
But
this
is
sufficient
to
cleere
her
innocency
,
that
neither
those
who
then
sought
the
ruine
of
her
body
,
nor
you
who
now
seeke
the
ruine
of
her
fame
and
honor
,
could
or
can
produce
any
thing
against
her
,
but
imaginarie
concealements
;
for
if
they
could
,
she
had
not
liued
to
be
the
obiect
of
your
envie
,
&
if
you
could
,
the
whole
world
had
bin
filled
long
before
this
,
with
your
long-tongued
Libels
,
and
bellowing
Buls
against
her
.
Therefore
I
shall
not
neede
to
thinke
vpon
this
point
long
,
as
if
what
you
sayd
were
vnanswerable
:
Queene
Elizabeth
herselfe
hath
saued
me
a
labour
,
where
in
answere
to
an
infamous
libell
written
against
her
in
Italian
,
which
chargeth
her
with
vnthankfulnes
to
the
King
of
Spaine
,
who
(
as
the
authour
reporteth
,
being
a
man
of
your
minde
)
in
her
sisters
Queene
Maries
time
,
had
saued
her
life
,
she
saith
,
That
her
faith
and
fidelity
was
neuer
in
any
such
question
in
her
sisters
time
,
and
much
lesse
that
euer
any
sentence
of
death
was
pronounced
against
her
,
and
that
therefore
he
had
no
cause
why
to
seeke
to
saue
her
life
:
Confessing
and
ingeniously
acknowledging
neuerthelesse
,
that
she
was
as
then
somewhat
beholden
vnto
him
,
and
that
in
all
princely
and
honorable
manner
she
had
been
thankfull
vnto
him
for
the
same
.
Now
therefore
if
you
haue
any
more
to
say
in
this
matter
,
produce
it
;
if
not
,
let
vs
come
to
the
third
reason
of
greatest
importance
mouing
Queene
Elizabeth
to
take
the
Hollanders
part
,
which
was
,
the
cause
of
Religion
:
they
professing
with
vs
one
same
Gospel
.
Red-scarfe
.
I
doubt
whether
they
professe
with
vs
one
same
Epistle
,
but
one
same
Gospell
I
am
sure
they
professe
not
.
Tawny-scarfe
.
You
are
wonderfully
witty
and
merry
in
distinguishing
betwixt
the
Epistle
and
Gospel
,
when
I
am
afraide
you
scarce
vnderstand
what
you
say
:
Perhaps
you
take
nothing
for
Gospel
,
but
what
is
conteined
in
those
partes
or
portions
of
Scripture
which
are
appointed
to
bee
read
in
the
Masse
,
(
though
in
a
strange
tongue
vnknowne
to
the
vulgar
)
for
the
better
vnderstanding
of
the
solemnitie
of
certaine
Feastes
celebrated
to
the
Memory
of
Saintes
,
or
perhaps
,
though
you
be
not
so
neere
of
kinne
to
one
of
Saint
Paules
Ideots
,
yet
you
may
thinke
nothing
Gospel

but
what
is
expresly
conteined
in
the
writings
of
the
foure
Euangelists
:
so
that
whilest
Saint
Paule
,
and
Saint
Peter
,
Saint
Iames
,
Saint
Iude
,
and
Saint
Iohn
write
Epistles
conteyning
the
doctrine
of
the
Gospel
or
glad-tidings
of
Christ
crucified
,
this
shall
not
be
Gospel
but
Epistle
;
nor
they
Preachers
and
writers
of
the
Gospel
,
but
Epistlers
with
you
,
and
your
grave
vnderstanding
:
So
whilst
S.
Paule
saith
,
Ro
.
2.16
.
In
the
day
when
God
shall
iudge
the
secrets
of
men
by
Iesus
Christ
according
to
my
Gospel
,
you
will
alter
and
correct
the
Apostles
phrase
,
and
for
according
to
my
Gospel
,
put
in
by
your
Index
expurgatorius
,
according
to
my
Epistle
:
leaue
your
wittie
cenceites
if
you
loue
your
owne
credit
,
they
doe
very
vilely
,
and
come
off
against
the
haire
,
according
to
that
prouerbe
,
inuita
Minerva
.
And
here
I
waxe
wearie
with
following
your
wandring
Discourse
,
(
as
he
that
playes
with
a
childe
all
day
,
and
is
tyed
to
treade
in
his
steps
)
wherefore
I
intend
for
that
which
remaines
,
not
altogether
to
take
it
vp
,
as
you
lay
it
downe
,
and
giue
occasion
of
answere
,
nor
yet
to
insert
verbatim
what
I
then
sayd
when
we
discoursed
in
the
Tilt-boate
,
(
though
then
I
made
no
such
idle
and
ayrie
answers
,
as
you
forge
for
me
,
but
forced
you
to
greater
streights
then
you
wil
acknowledge
)
but
I
purpose
directly
to
gather
the
strengh
of
your
Arguments
,
and
lay
them
downe
truly
,
with
such
answers
as
I
did
,
or
might
make
to
such
of
them
,
as
seeme
worthy
of
any
reply
.
You
first
pretend
,
our
Gospel
,
and
that
Gospel
which
is
preached
and
professed
in
the
Netherlands
differ
,
because
there
is
difference
betweene
Protestants
and
Puritans
in
England
;
for
so
you
are
pleased
to
style
such
true
Christians
as
protest
against
your
falshoods
,
and
would
reforme
your
impurities
in
life
and
doctrine
,
Protestants
and
Puritans
.
How
well
this
hangs
together
,
the
premisses
and
conclusion
,
you
cannot
but
see
,
and
smile
to
behold
,
being
a
man
so
merily
disposed
by
nature
as
you
seeme
.
But
you
demand
,
how
contention
should
otherwise
arise
amongst
vs
?
why
else
should
some
bee
silenced
or
banished
?
Doe
the
difference
betwixt
Iesuites
and
secular
Priests
in
England
proue
their
Gospels
differ
?
Doubtlesse
their
Portuces
are
the
very
same
:
why
doe
the
Thomists
and
Scotists
differ
?
Is
their
Gospel
diuerse
?
why
doe
the
Dominicans
and
Franciscans
pursue
each
other
with
deadly
quarrels
,
is
it
because
their
Gospel
differs
?
Doubtlesse
many
of
these
know
not
the
Gospel
;
most
of
them
care
not
for
it
;
nay
,
let
me
say
boldly
,
few
of
them
prize
it
,
as
they
doe
that
which
they
call
their
vnwritten
verities
,
or
traditionall
Gospel
,
whereabout
yet
they
fall
out
with
eagernesse
.
And
had
not
the
Councell
of
Trent
cunningly
trust
vp
all
their
trinkets
,
and
taught
them
what
they
must
hold
,
none
could
haue
known
what
it
had
beene
to
be
a
Papist
:
But
Antichrist
then
vnsealed
the
secrets
of
his
Mysterie
;
Apoc
.
13.16
17.
for
then
it
was
a
time
for
him
to
discouer
himselfe
,
that
such
as
tooke
his
marke
on
their
foreheads
,
or
in
their
hands
,
might
be
knowne
for
counterfeit
Christians
.
You
demand
,
if
our
differences
be
small
,
why
then
are
some
silenced
,
some
banished
.
some
put
to
death
?
Iniurie
may
be
done
somtime
vnder
the
colour
of
iustice
;
and
Mephibosheth
may
be
forced
euen
by
David
himselfe
,
2
Sam
.
16.3
.
2.
Sam
.
19.24
.
to
diuide
his
lawfull
inheritance
with
Ziba
the
tel-tale
,
the
traducer
,
the
traytour
.
Sometime
also
many
iust
occasions
may
prouoke
such
seuere
punishments
to
be
inflicted
vpon
persons
for
circumstantiall
poynts
,
though
they
differ
not
in
fundamentall
verities
contayned
in
the
Gospel
.
But
tell
me
in
good
earnest
,
why
were
the
Iesuites
banished
France
,
and
a
pillar
set
vp
to
eternize
the
memorie
of
their
banishment
,
was
it
for
that
their
Gospel
differed
from
the
French
Church
?
Or
why
were
the
Iesuites
banished
out
of
Venice
?
or
why
are
the
Cardinals
iealous
to
make
a
Iesuite
Pope
?
Is
it
for
that
their
Gospel
differs
from
the
rest
,
whilst
they
hold
all
one
Epistle
?
I
trow
not
.
You
pursue
this
discourse
(
I
suppose
)
to
the
same
end
to
proue
the
difference
of
our
Gospel
from
the
Hollanders
;
for
that
is
the
proposition
.
And
such
as
you
tearme
Puritans
in
England
,
you
call
We
might
with
as
much
,
or
more
reason
call
the
Papists
,
Bellar
minists
,
Parsonists
,
Garnetists
,
&c.
as
your
call
vs
Lutherans
,
Calvenists
,
Gomarists
,
or
the
like
,
●
.
Cor
.
3
.
5●
.
Gomarists
in
Holland
,
because
that
learned
and
vigilant
Minister
Gomarus
opposed
such
as
would
haue
brought
in
the
innouations
of
that
subtill
D.
Arminius
,
and
prepared
the
tenets
of
such
as
imped
out
and
inlarged
his
doctrine
,
fit
for
the
Synods
inspection
,
censure
,
and
decision
.
Now
such
as
these
you
will
haue
by
no
meanes
defended
;
for
then
we
defend
(
as
you
would
say
)
another
Gospel
.
But
you
see
euen
the
Doctors
and
Bishops
who
were
sent
out
of
England
,
ioyned
with
Gomarus
and
the
rest
in
that
memorable
Synod
of
Dort
:
so
that
by
that
vnitie
,
they
declared
a
consent
in
doctrine
,
howsoeuer
they
might
differ
in
some
poynts
of
lesse
consequence
about
ceremonies
;
so
they
had
all
one
Gospell
.
All
agree
,
that
the
Bishop
of
Rome
is
Antichrist
,
and
that
we
should
separate
from
him
;
the
difference
is
,
how
farre
we
should
doe
it
;
some
desiring
it
farther
then
others
iudge
fit
:
yet
those
that
iudge
it
not
fit
to
separate
so
farre
as
others
desire
,
doe
it
not
in
any
other
respect
,
then
because
they
would
winne
the
Papists
to
reformation
,
by
letting
them
see
,
how
they
depart
from
them
in
nothing
,
but
where
they
are
forced
to
doe
it
,
by
the
cleare
euidence
of
Scripture
,
being
willing
otherwise
in
things
indifferent
to
descend
to
their
weaknesse
,
&
rather
to
giue
their
brethren
offence
,
with
whom
they
joyne
in
all
fundamentall
Verities
,
then
these
of
Rome
who
haue
strong
delusions
to
cause
them
to
beleeue
lies
,
2.
Thes
.
2.11
.
and
therefore
must
be
won
by
all
strong
and
gentle
inducements
to
beleeue
the
truth
.
You
see
also
in
that
Synod
,
how
the
Gomarists
(
as
you
call
them
)
can
endure
the
societie
of
Bishops
,
though
not
the
superioritie
;
&
judge
not
the
gouernement
of
Bishops
simply
vnlawfull
,
but
neither
fit
for
them
,
Al
gouernment
from
God
,
this
or
that
forme
from
man
.
nor
to
be
Iure
diuino
.
For
as
they
condemne
not
,
but
commend
Monarchies
,
though
they
doe
not
finde
that
Gouernment
the
best
for
their
dispositions
,
nor
to
be
imposed
vpon
all
Nations
iure
diuino
:
so
they
censure
not
,
at
least
condemne
not
,
Episcopall
Gouernment
,
but
preferre
a
brotherly
communion
,
where
superioritie
is
rather
giuen
then
exacted
;
rather
shunned
,
then
sought
;
And
all
in
giuing
honour
,
Rom.
12.10
.
goe
one
before
another
:
where
with
you
they
take
,
beg
,
and
buy
honour
,
and
plot
and
poyson
for
place
and
preferment
,
that
they
may
goe
one
before
another
.
2.
In
the
second
place
you
labour
to
proue
,
that
such
as
defend
the
cause
of
the
Netherlanders
,
defend
al
the
Religions
,
Sects
or
Schismes
there
tolerated
.
But
this
is
drawne
out
by
a
constrayned
consequence
;
and
by
the
same
consequence
,
he
that
fights
for
the
Pope
of
Rome
fights
for
the
Iewes
there
maintayned
,
nay
worse
,
for
the
maintenance
of
the
male
and
female
slewes
,
and
so
by
your
consequence
,
for
the
defence
of
Sodomitrie
,
practised
in
Rome
and
all
Italy
.
So
he
that
fights
for
the
Emperour
or
Venetian
,
fights
for
the
Iewes
,
vnder
whom
they
find
toleration
:
So
by
consequence
,
he
that
fights
against
the
Catholike
King
,
fights
against
Antichrist
,
whom
the
Catholike
King
defends
and
supports
,
and
he
that
ioynes
with
the
Catholike
King
ioynes
with
Antichrist
,
by
your
artificiall
wire-drawne
Argument
of
euill
consequence
.
You
produce
by
the
way
,
a
sect
of
the
Persectists
there
(
as
you
say
)
profest
.
Perhaps
there
may
be
some
such
mad-men
;
for
Bedlam
containes
not
all
the
crackt-braynd
creatures
in
England
:
you
,
and
many
such
as
you
are
out
:
so
though
there
be
Dull-houses
in
the
Netherlands
,
all
that
deserue
to
be
put
there
,
are
not
.
Yet
why
should
you
finde
fault
?
This
Sect
doth
suprabound
with
you
;
euery
Order
pretends
a
perfection
by
it selfe
,
onely
proper
to
them
and
their
Founder
.
Here
onely
is
the
d●fference
betwixt
your
mad-men
and
these
;
These
place
perfection
in
knowledge
,
yours
in
practise
,
whilst
both
erre
.
These
whilst
they
know
something
,
being
ignorant
of
themselues
,
suppose
they
know
all
things
,
the
first
chapter
of
a
foole
.
Yours
,
whilst
they
fast
from
flesh
,
pray
they
know
not
to
whom
,
and
whip
themselues
they
know
not
why
,
suppose
by
these
parts
of
wil-worship
vnrequired
,
to
deserue
heauen
for
themselues
and
others
too
:
for
from
hence
is
the
treasurie
of
the
Church
,
that
pooremans
Boxe
of
Merit
and
Supererrogation
,
wherewithall
Peters
supposed
successor
is
trusted
,
filled
full
drop
after
drop
,
and
emptied
againe
by
Pardons
and
Indulgences
more
then
a
good
many
.
Thus
yours
also
not
knowing
themselues
,
their
owne
basenesse
,
vilenesse
and
vnworthinesse
,
seeke
perfection
in
themselues
,
and
through
spirituall
pride
ship-wracke
their
owne
soules
,
and
the
soules
of
such
as
depend
vpon
their
rotten
principles
.
Amongst
the
Ethnikes
there
were
diuers
Sects
of
Philosophers
,
which
were
their
wise
men
,
&
supposed
themselues
more
perfect
then
the
rest
.
The
Academickes
,
such
are
your
Iesuites
:
the
Stoickes
,
such
are
your
preaching
Friars
:
the
Peripatetickes
,
such
are
your
begging
Friars
:
the
Epicures
,
such
are
your
Popes
,
Cardinals
,
Bishops
,
and
rich
Abbots
.
You
haue
Cynicks
too
amongst
you
,
who
raile
at
all
they
vnderstand
not
;
Septickes
onely
are
forbidden
,
an
implicite
faith
is
sufficient
by
which
ye
beleeue
the
perfection
of
Romish
dogmatizing
.
Therefore
speake
not
you
of
these
Perfectists
,
they
are
of
your
owne
breed
,
we
disclaime
them
.
They
erre
in
science
,
whilst
they
professe
it
;
you
in
practise
,
whilst
you
laugh
at
their
fooleries
,
and
commit
worse
your selues
.
A
third
Argument
you
bring
to
proue
our
Gospel
and
theirs
differ
,
and
that
wee
seeke
to
defend
a
wrong
Gospell
,
seeking
to
defend
theirs
.
The
reason
,
for
their
Gospel
allowes
of
theft
.
If
it
be
so
,
we
disclaime
their
Gospel
and
the
cause
also
;
marke
the
solide
proofe
therefore
.
The
Netherlands
steale
whole
Prouinces
from
the
King
of
Spaine
,
whilst
they
hang
theeues
for
trifles
,
and
that
by
their
Gospels
warrant
,
for
so
it
must
be
,
or
you
say
nothing
.
Surely
I
thinke
if
they
had
you
,
they
would
scarce
hang
you
,
they
are
so
mercifull
:
many
that
deserue
it
perhaps
as
well
as
you
haue
done
,
doe
yet
scape
,
and
enioy
their
libertie
in
hope
of
amendment
,
as
you
doe
,
if
you
haue
grace
to
make
good
vse
of
it
.
But
if
they
be
theeues
and
steale
Prouinces
from
Spaine
;
How
hath
Spaine
gotten
superioritie
ouer
his
neighbour-Nations
?
how
hath
he
made
many
intrusions
vpon
Savoy
,
Nauarre
,
France
,
Italy
?
How
vpon
the
East
and
West
Indies
?
How
vpon
Ireland
,
and
how
vpon
England
also
,
whose
purse
he
would
haue
taken
,
whilst
you
and
yours
were
setters
and
plotters
for
the
purchase
?
Is
he
a
thiefe
for
this
?
Is
this
Catholike
doctrine
?
I
feare
you
must
passe
vnder
the
rod
of
penance
for
this
ouer-sight
.
Remember
what
the
Pirate
said
to
Alexander
the
Great
:
I
am
a
Pirate
and
a
thiefe
robbing
with
one
ship
,
and
taking
away
a
little
;
and
because
thou
robst
the
whole
world
with
a
Nauie
and
an
Armie
,
thou
art
styled
an
Emperour
.
Indian
gold
is
able
to
purchase
many
more
able
flatterers
and
supporters
,
then
you
are
.
And
what
power
did
euer
want
praise
,
though
neuer
so
wicked
,
tyrannous
,
or
vniust
?
He
cannot
but
be
defended
and
commended
,
who
hath
Antichrist
and
the
whole
Romane
Conclaue
at
his
command
.
That
which
remaines
is
matter
of
controuersie
in
Religion
,
which
you
haue
propounded
at
pleasure
,
making
me
a
very
simple
fellow
fit
to
be
coopled
with
you
for
company
in
the
answers
annexed
by
you
:
Yet
that
which
you
propound
is
such
stuffe
,
and
so
followed
,
as
you
need
not
protest
your selfe
to
be
no
Diuine
;
you
bewray
it
sufficiently
in
your
Discourse
,
though
otherwise
I
might
haue
doubted
a
Priest
or
Iesuite
(
as
they
had
wont
)
might
haue
lurked
vnder
a
buffe
Ierkin
,
a
red
scarfe
and
feather
.
And
indeed
though
I
acknowledge
there
are
many
learned
men
on
your
side
,
yet
me
thinkes
such
kind
of
knowledge
is
a
matter
superfluous
,
and
leading
towards
heresie
,
for
since
that
infallible
spirit
of
decision
,
direction
,
and
exposition
is
in
your
Popes
brest
,
what
need
other
Doctors
,
then
such
simple
and
illiterate
persons
as
Christ
first
chose
to
be
his
Apostles
,
and
to
plant
his
Church
,
since
there
remaines
in
your
Church
still
extraordinarie
and
primarie
power
to
dispose
of
the
spirit
miraculously
,
and
so
to
bestow
the
gifts
of
tongues
and
miracles
,
as
it
was
with
Christ
himselfe
,
and
his
Apostles
after
?
For
which
cause
your
Sea
of
Rome
is
called
the
Apostolique
Sea
,
from
whence
all
that
supernaturall
power
is
deriued
,
as
from
an
ordinarie
Minister
or
Vicar
appointed
by
Christ
to
that
end
.
But
to
leaue
this
still
in
doubt
,
come
to
your
Diuinitie
:
Two
points
you
insist

In
speaking

you
labor

justifie
your

You
first
labour
to

from
Idolatrie

and
say
,
If
Christs
body

that
is
,
as
you
vnderstand
it
,
if
the
bread
be
not
truly
transubstantiated
into
the
bodie
of
Christ
,
then
you
doe
not
intend
any
worship
to
it
,
and
so
you
commit
no
Idolatrie

But
as
an
oth
(
which
is
a

is
not

So
outward

is
not

and
if
it

then
you
do
not
intend
to

but
according
to
the
vnderstanding
of
all
that
behold
you
(
the
eye
being
the
iudge
of
bodily
worship
)
and
they
beholding
you
giue
to
the
bread
the
same
outward
worship
which
they
see
you
giue
vnto
God
,
iudge
presently
and
plainely
,
that
you
commit
grosse
idolatry
:
for
the
same
eye
that
beholdes
your
bodily
and
exterior
worship
,
beholds
withall
,
that
the
obiect
of
that
bodily
worship
is
bread
which
they
see

and
not
the
body
of
Christ
which
they
see
not

to
which
you
say

your

Againe
,
your
worship
which
wee
now
speake
of
being
the
exterior
reuerence
of

must
be

after

Let
all
things
be
done
to
edification
.
Thus
wee
see
the
Apostle
had
a
care
euen
in
things
not
simply
vnlawfull
,
to
giue
no
scandall
or
offence
to
the
vnlearned
;
nay
,
to
giue
such
satisfaction
,
&
to
prouide
,
that
nothing
should
be
done
in
the
Church
,
but
that
which
tended
to
edification
,
and
to
the
opening
of
the
mouthes
of
babes
and
sucklings
to
confesse
him
;
at
least
to
the
stopping
vp
of
their
mouthes
,
that
would
not
confesse
and
praise
him
.
And
wee
see
he
hath
a
care
to
giue
satisfaction
to
the
vnlearned
.
How
then
dare
you
do
an
act
which
is
directly
prohibited
,
&
which
doth
not
only
scandalize
the
Iewes
,
who
hate
the
apparance
of
Idotry
,
but
all
sober
Christians
,
who
are
not
drunke
with
the
whores
cup
of
fornications
,
and
bewitched
with
her
inchantmentes
&
deuillish
incantations
,
whilst
they
see
you
giue
worship
to
that
which
they
see
and
taste
to
be
bread
as
euidently
,
as
they
see
you
kneele
and
worship
?
Must
they
not
needes
count
this
idolatry
,
and
iudge
you
to
be
out
of
your
wits
,
practising
this
publiquely
,
and
defending
this
practise
impudently
and
obstinately
?
This
tends
not
to
edification
of
the
weake

but
to
the
destruction
of

that

when

bread
that
he
made

part
whereof

eate

,
part
whereof
he
crammed

when

and

This
opinion
and
your
Latin

are
well
coopled
together
in

being
direct
euidences
of

The
bold
attempts
,
and
desperate
onsets
,
together
with
the
euill
euents
and
dangerous
successe
of
good
intents
grounded
vpon
ignorant
zeale
,
you
may
obserue
in
your selfe
;
who
,
like
an
Italian
Montbanke
or
Romish
Iuggler
,
play
fast
and
loose
with
your
faith
,
euen
in
the
point
of
worship
,
the
supreme
and
souereigne
seruice
of
Christianity
;
If
the
Cake
be
Christ
,
you
worship
it
;
if
it
be
not
Christ
,
you
intend
no
worship
to
it
.
But
thus
may
the
Heathens
argue
for
themselues
,
That
they
intend
no
worship
to
their
Idols
,
except
they
be
gods
,
but
by
them
they
send
vp
their
worship
to
the
true
God
;
for
what
they
doe
,
they
intend
to
the
true
God
,
or
to
none
.
You
build
vpon
Christs
words
who
cannot
deceiue
,
and
is
sufficient
to
performe
what
he
speakes
:
and
he
hath
said
,
The
bread
is
his
bodie
,
and
were
it
still
bread
,
(
say
you
)
yet
he
hauing
said
,
it
was
his
bodie
,
and
you
beleeuing
it
to
be
so
,
he
cannot
condemne
you
of
mis-beliefe
:
for
if
he
had
neuer
said
it
,
you
had
neuer
beleeued
it
.
We
acknowledge
Christs
truth
and
power
:
but
here
we
looke
to
what
he
did
and
said
,
and
do
not
with
you
presume
to
change
his
words
or
workes
:
He
neither
said
,
the
bread
was
transubstantiated
into
his
bodie
,
nor
did
he
will
his
Apostles
,
or
their
successors
to
worship
it
,
but
to
take
and
eate
it
,
and
doe
it
in
remembrance
of
him
.
Christ
said
,
This
is
my
bodie
:
Luk
.
22.19
.
we
say
so
too
with
him
and
with
you
:
The
difference
is
about
the
manner
of
his
presence
:
You
say
,
the
bread
remaines
not
,
though
you
see
,
feele
,
taste
bread
:
We
say
,
Christs
bodie
is
taken
and
eaten
by
the
soule
of
the
faithfull
,
whilst
his
hand
takes
,
&
mouth
eates
the
bread
.
So
it
is
his
body
(
as
he
intended
)
though
bread
remaines
;
bread
really
,
his
body
Sacramentally
and
Spiritually
,
both
truly
.
Christ
as
concerning
his
bodily
presence
is
in
heauen
at
the
right
hand
of
God
the
Father
,
so
we
are
taught
to
beleeue
;
and
from
thence
as
concerning
locall
decession
,
shall
not
come
,
till
he
comes
in
glorie
to
iudge
the
quicke
and
dead
:
this
we
see
confirmed
,
Act.
3.21

Whom
the
heauens
must
receiue
,
vntill
the
time
of
restitution
of
all

,
which
God
hath
spoken
by
the
mouth
of
his
holy
Prophets
,
since
the
world
began
.
And
Ioh

You
shall
not
haue
me
alwayes
present
in
bodie
for
I
goe
so
vnto
the
Father
,
but
in
spirit
and
power
alwayes
;
for

I
am
with
you
,
so
,
to
the
end
of
the
world

Mat

What
can
be
more
plaine
and
cleare
?
Then
looke
for
a
figuratiue
vnderstanding
of
these
words
,
and
for
a
spirituall
eating
of
Christ
,
or
else
you
denie
your
Creed
,
and
contradict
S.
Peter
and
Christ
himselfe
;
for
the
flesh
profiteth
nothing
,
Ioh
.
6.63
.
It
is
the
Spirit
that
quickeneth
;
not
the
literall
,
but
the
spirituall
vnderstanding
and
eating
nourisheth
the
Spirit
.
That
which
the
bodie
eates
,
cannot
benefite
the
soule
,
that
which
the
soule
eates
cannot
nourish
the
bodie
.
The
bodie
eates
bread
;
the
soule
,
Christ
;
the
one
by
the
teeth
,
the
other
,
by
faith
:
both
are
thus
nourished
according
to
their
seuerall
natures
and
essences
.
If
you
will
not
grant
a
figure
in
these
words
,
what
say
you
to
those
that
follow
immediatly
as
part
of
this
Sacrament
?
1.
Cor
.
11.13
Drinke
ye
all
of
this
;
for
this
is
the
new
Testament
in
my
blood
,
&c.
You
must
beleeue
the
Chalice
is
the
new
Testament
in
Christs
blood
;
that
is
,
transubstantiated
into
the
new
Testament
in
Christs
blood
;
not
the
wine
only
,
but
the
Chalice
also
;
or
else
admit
a
figure
in
the
speech
.
And
if
you
grant
a
figure
in
this
,
why
not
in
the
former
?
the
same
Christ
spake
both
,
the
same
Christ
is
able
alike
,
the
same
Christ
wils
me
to
doe
both
in
remembrance
of
him
,
and
to
beleeue
both
alike
.
Nay
rather
thus
I
may
argue
,
since
you
must
needes
grant
a
figure
in
this
,
by
consequence
,
a
figure
must
be
vnderstood
necessarily
&
properly
in
the
other
,
our
Sauiour
had
else
spoken
improperly
:
words
must
agree
with
the
workes
.
And
this
being
a
figuratiue
or
sacramentall
action
,
must
be
deliuered
in
a
figuratiue
forme
or
phrase
of
speech
,
as
being
most
proper
and
congruous
to
the
occasion
.
Therefore
though
this
errour
of
Transubstantiation
began
to
be
busie
betimes
in
the
Church
,
by
reason
of
diuerse
carnall
eares
who
vnderstood
Christ
as
Nicodemus
did
,
Io
.
3.5.6
.
and
as
the
Capernaits
did
,
Ioh
.
6.51.52.63
.
Yet
it
was
held
indifferent
,
and
not
prest
vpon
any
to
beleeue
the
manner
of
his
presence
till
the
Councell

though
he
were
one
of
yours
,
confesseth
;
but
then
this
errour
was
confirmed
by
Antichrist
and
his
associates
.
Before
,
Christ
was
the
Word
and
spake
it
,
He
tooke
the
bread
and
brake
it
,
And
as
his
Word
doth
make
it
,
So
I
receiue
and
take
it
,
Was
enough
to
be
professed
and
confessed
to
make
a
man
a
worthy
receiuer
,
without
farther
disquisition
into
the
secret
closet
of
the
conscience
,
to
know
if
men
had
reason
and
sence
or
no
,
and
then
to
make
that
a
sufficient
quarrell
to
exclude
them
:
For
now
if
we
will
not
beleeue
that
which
contradicts
sence
,
reason
,
faith
and
Religion
,
from
the
table
we
must
be
cast
and
to
the
fire
we
must
be
haled
as
Heretickes
.
Now
therefore
this
is
the
note
:
Priests
make
Christs
body
and
soule
,
ye
need
not
doubt
;
They
eat
,
they
drinke
,
they
boxe
him
vp
,
and
beare
about
.
One
is
too
little
;
Bread
and
Wine
Holds
him
seuerall
:
so
wee
dine
,
I
with
my
Christ
,
thou
with
thine
.
Is
thy
mouth
the
Virgins
wombe
,
is
bread
her
seed
?
Are
thy
words
the
holy
Ghost
?
Is
this
the
Creed
?
O
presumptuous
vndertaker
,
Neuer
Cake
could
make
his
Baker
:
Yet
the
Priest
can
make
his
Maker
.
What
becomes
of
al
those
Christs
that
Priests
haue
made
?
Doe
these
Hoasts
of
Hoasts
abide
?
or
do
they
fade
?
One
Christ
liues
,
but
all
these
die
:
One
Christ
bides
,
when
all
these
flie
:
One
is
true
,
the
rest
a
lye
.
You
then
from
the
matter
,
fall
to
the
manner
of
celebrating
;
debating
whether
to
doe
it
vpon
a
table
as
we
doe
,
or
on
an
altar
with
you
,
be
the
truest
forme
.
Christ
instituted
it
,
and
celebrated
it
at
a
table
;
this
you
confesse
;
he
is
the
safest
patterne
to
follow
.
Before
I
heare
you
say
;
Hee
hauing
said
,
it
was
his
bodie
,
and
I
beleeuing
it
so
to
be
,
his
iustice
and
goodnesse
is
such
,
that
he
cannot
condemne
me
of
mis-beliefe
,
himselfe
hauing
beene
the
cause
why
I
so
beleeue
;
for
if
he
had
neuer
said
it
,
I
had
neuer
beleeued
it
.
So
say
I
,
and
so
ought
you
to
say
,
he
instituted
it
vpon
a
table
,
not
vpon
an
altar
;
he
gaue
bread
and
wine
,
not
bread
alone
;
he
gaue
common
bread
,
and
broke
it
,
not
printed
wafers
to
be
swallowed
whole
;
he
willed
me
to
eate
,
not
to
swallow
whole
and
vnbroken
;
to
take
it
,
not
to
adore
it
;
to
doe
it
in
remembrance
of
him
,
not
as
if
he
were
present
corporally
:
Till
he
comes
,
saith
S.
Paul
,
not
as
if
he
were
come
;
and
if
he
had
neuer
said
it
,
I
had
neuer
beleeued
it
;
if
he
had
neuer

Besides
,
I
see
S.
Paule
and
the
Corinthians
celebrating
at
a
table
,
I
neither
heare
of
the
bread
transubstantiated
,
nor
of
the
wine
withdrawne
from
the
people
,
nor
of
inuocation
or
adoration
,
but
all
done
as
we
doe
it
,
in
remembrance
of
Christs
death
,
by
way
of
thankfull
acknowledgement
of
the
benefit
wrought
for
mankind
thereby
.
All
the
rest
is
of
your
owne
inuention
,
superstitious
,
idolatrous
,
antichristian
.
Looke
the
place
and
it
will
confirme
you
in
all
these
plaine
and
euident
truthes
:
for
they
tooke
the
Sacrament
at
their
loue-feastes
,
so
far
then
from
superstitious
adorations
,
as
they
were
irreverend
and
almost
prophane
in
not
discerning
betwixt
that
,
being
a
religious
action
,
a
spirituall
meate
,
and
other
ciuill
actions
and
corporall
meates
:
wherefore
the
Apostle
reduceth
them
to
the
primitiue
institution
,
far
from
mad
Idolatry
and
drunken
prophanenesse
,
in
christian
sobriety
as
becomes
persons
made
worthy
partakers
of
so
great
a
Mystery
.
That
which
you
adde
to
auoide
your
Idolatry
,
as
if
the
reuerence
you
doe
to
your
Idoll
in
the
Masse
,
were
no
more
then
what
we
in
the
presence
shew
to
the
Kings
chaire
of
State
,
is
ridiculous
.
Our
reuerence
is
ciuill
,
yours
is
religious
:
all
men
,
yea
the
simplest
old
wife
can
distinguish
ours
from
a
religious
act
of
worship
to
God
;
it
trouples
your
greatest
Doctors
to
cleare
your
point
in
the
Schooles
by
imaginarie
distinctions
;
how
then
in
actions
they
shall
be
distinguished
,
especially
when
they
are
to
be
performed
by
an
old
ignorant
woman
,
it
will
trouble
a
man
no
lesse
wise
then
your selfe
to
imagine
,
much
more
to
manifest
.
That
which
S.
Augustine
saith
of
Images
,
being
Laymens
bookes
,
is
concerning
their
historicall
vse
;
but
we
see
they
haue
taught
the
people
so
many
lies
,
that
if
Augustine
were
now
aliue
,
he
would
barre
them
both
from
preaching
and
praying
in
the
Church
too
.
For
if
a
woman
be
forbidden
to
be
a
teacher
there
,
I
know
not
why
a
dumbe
Idoll
should
be
there
admitted
to
teach
.

I
presume
,
both
the
pretence
and
intent
of
the
first
introducers
was
good
,
to
banish
heathen
Idols
,
to
please
the
new
conuerts
with
something
sutable
to
their
olde
superstitions
;
but
we
see
the
euill
successe
of
this
,
and
of
all
other
points
of
humane
Policie
,
of
worldly
wisdom
intermixt
with
the
worship
of
God
,
either
directly
against
,
or
simply
without
the
authoritie
of
the
word
of
God
it self
,
how
it
brings
confusion
,
&
helps
in
the
issue
to
pul
down
Sion
,
&
build
vp
Babel
.
The
last
point
you
handle
is
auricular
confession
;
for
which
you
bring
a
proofe
from
Scripture
:
The
proofe
is
Christs
generall
commission
giuen
to
the
Apostles
and
their
Successours
,
Receiue
the
Holy
Ghost
,
whose
sinnes
you
shall
forgiue
,
Ioh
.
20.20
.
●1
.
they
are
forgiuen
;
and
whose
sinnes
you
shall
retayne
,
they
are
retayned
.
But
here
you
leaue
out
what
Christ
spake
to
them
before
,
namely
,
As
my
Father
sent
me
,
so
send
I
you
.
Christ
was
sent
to
forgiue
sinnes
,
not
by
hearing
auricular
Confession
,
but
by
preaching
the
Gospel
of
Repentance
,
from
dead
workes
and
faith
in
Gods
promises
made
in
him
;
and
so
sent
he
his
Apostles
,
not
to
heare
priuate
confessions
,
but
to
publish
the
Gospel
for
remission
of
sinnes
,
and
sauing
poore
repenting
and
beleeuing
soules
,
who
made
publique
confession
of
their
sinnes
,
as
the
Apostles
did
publiquely
preach
repentance
and
confession
.
You
bring
in
also
the
example
of
Iohn
Baptist
,
Mat
.
3.

.
Where
the
people
are
said
to
come
out
to
him
to
be
baptized
,
confessing
their
sinnes
;
which
makes
nothing
for
your
purpose
,
to
prooue
auricular
Confession
,
but
shewes
how
glad
you
would
be
to
finde
shelter
to
couer
your
nakednesse
in
the
garden
of
God
,
when
your
owne
figge-leaues
will
not
serue
your
turne
.
The
truth
is
,
they
that
came
to
be
baptized
publikely
,
were
publikely
to
acknowledge
that
guilt
&
sinne
which
they
would
haue
washed
away
,
and
remitted
by
Baptisme
:
for
before
the
receipt
of
cure
,
they
were
to
know
and
acknowledge
themselues
sicke
;
but
all
this
was
publike
and
generall
,
not
priuately
and
particularly
whispered
into
Saint
Iohns
eare
,
as
you
vse
and
imagine
.
A
Monke
of
your
owne
confesseth
this
;

.
For
then
(
saith
he
)
was
not
the
Sacrament
of
auricular
confession
instituted
by
Christ
.
We
allow
confession
,
and
our
Preachers
doe
often
inforce
it
,
what
they
may
,
vpon
the
bleeding
conscience
,
vnable
to
stanch
her
owne
wounds
.
But
herein
is
the
difference
betwixt
you
and
vs
:
1.
Yours
is
of
necessitie
,
ours
voluntarie
.
2.
Yours
requires
an
exact
numeration
,
ours
saith
with
David
,
Psal
.
19.
12
:
Who
vnderstandeth
his
faults
?
Therefore
we
seeke
to
haue
those
confessed
,
which
notwithstanding
our
former
confessing
to
God
,
we
finde
still
to
leaue
a
sting
behind
.
3.
Yours
is
full
of
superstition
,
as
if
the
worke
wrought
,
that
is
,
the
confession
of
the
sinner
,
&
absolution
of
the
Confessor
,
were
sufficient
to
assure
saluation
;
when
with
vs
there
is
no
remission
,
but
by
the
free
grace
of
God
alone
.
4.
Lastly
,
yours
is
horribly
abused
,
to
vnlocke
the
secrets
of
Princes
,
to
rule
ouer
the
consciences
of
men
,
(
for
I
am
master
ouer
that
man
,
whose
naturall
inclination
I
vnderstand
,
and
know
how
to
rule
him
by
his
vices
,
which
are
constant
and
importunate
,
better
then
by
his
vertues
,
which
are
no
fauourites
,
and
are
also
seldome
at
home
.
)
Yea
,
this
hath
beene
,
and
is
too
often
vsed
,
to
deflowre
Virgins
and
Matrons
,
and
to
to
perpetrate
and
faciliate
other
darke
and
blacke
actions
,
for
which
cause
it
was
banished
Constantinople
by
Nectarius
the
Bishop
there
,
and
is
worthy
to
be
banished
all
Christian
Common-wealths
:
for
by
this
alone
,
hauing
either
the
Prince
himselfe
,
or
any
of
his
neere
seruants
or
his
wife
,
or
any
of
theirs
,
vnder
your
imperious
fingers
,
you
know
cunningly
how
to
open
the
closest
cabinet
of
secret
counsell
;
and
to
make
a
superstitious
and
trembling
soule
your
instrument
to
say
,
sweare
,
reueale
,
conceale
,
whatsoeuer
you
command
,
that
may
be
for
the
aduantage
of
your
Catholike
cause
.
And
so
euery
Priest
is
an
absolute
priuie
Councellor
.
But
you
haue
taken
an
oath
to
conceale
all
secrets
deliuered
sub
sigillo
confessionis
.
Indeed
this
must
needs
secure
all
men
;
I
had
forgotten
this
.
Yet
now
I
remember
me
,
you
may
be
absolued
and
dispensed
withall
,
if
you
should
reueale
any
secret
deliuered
in
confession
:
Besides
,
you
haue
taken
an
oath
first
,
to
conceale
nothing
that
may
be
prejudiciall
to
the
Romane
Catholike
Religion
,
but
to
reueale
all
that
may
aduance
it
,
or
any
way
concernes
it
.
Now
the
first
oath
bindes
,
and
assoiles
the
latter
,
which
is
but
secundarie
,
and
with
subordinate
respects
.
And
for
matter
of
meere
conscience
,
howsoeuer
worldly
wisedome
would
thinke
,
and
you
say
,
that
auricular
Confession
serues
to
bridle
sinne
by
shame
,
it
is
farre
otherwise
;
my
experience
knowes
,
that
it
makes
men
and
women
impudent
,
so
that
they
care
not
at
last
who
knowes
or
sees
their
filthinesse
.
I
haue
seene
the
written
confessions
of
some
before
they
were
sent
to
their
Confessors
,
and
that
without
the
least
touch
of
modestie
,
or
sence
of
shame
in
the
impudent
penitents
,
when
I
haue
blushed
to
reade
those
horrible
crimes
,
which
they
gloried
to
iterate
,
both
in
confessing
and
committing
interchangeably
.
Thus
our
new-converted
Gallants
(
who
neuer
had
a
God
before
,
till
now
that
they
haue
gotten
him
about
their
neckes
,
and
in
their
Tobacco-boxes
)
can
goe
to
a
Play
,
and
from
thence
to
a
baudie-house
,
and
from
thence
in
a
morning
to
confession
and
Masse
:
and
thus
make
themselues
new
men
,
that
is
,
of
men
,
monsters
euery
day
.
And
this
is
the
onely
reason
,
they
so
easily
turne
to
be
yours
;
because
,
though
your
confessing
,
and
penance
,
and
whipping
,
and
haire-cloth
shirts
seeme
strange
things
,
and
make
a
faire
shew
at
first
blush
;
yet
they
are
nothing
in
comparison
of
leauing
those
sweet
sinnes
whereunto
we
haue
beene
accustomed
;
and
betaking
our selues
to
holy
and
reformed
courses
,
without
which
our
Preachers
say
,
and
shew
plainely
by
Scripture
,
that
there
is
no
hope
of
saluation
.
And
this
is
the
reason
our
Libertines
easily
turne
Papists
;
(
though
you
cry
out
against
vs
,
and
call
vs
Libertines
,
because
we
professe
the
libertie
of
the
Gospel
,
from
your
Our
soone
to
the
their
best
soone
turne
to
vs.
When
you
be
at
the
best
,
you
are
neerest
vs
,
and
when
we
be
at
the
worst
,
wee
are
neerest
you
.
Iewish
ceremonies
and
superstitions
)
and
this
is
the
cause
your
honestest
Professors
,
who
are
not
intangled
and
kept
backe
by
honours
,
or
pleasures
,
or
profit
,
or
humane
respects
,
are
easily
induced
to
be
ours
,
without
which
they
cannot
be
Christs
and
Gods
.
The
rest
that
remaines
of
yours
,
is
such
extrauagant
stuffe
,
as
shall
need
no
other
answere
then
silence
and
contempt
,
which
I
shall
still
vse
both
towards
you
,
and
all
others
that
take
your
part
in
this
subject
,
or
shall
audaciously
reply
on
your
behalfe
.
Assuring
your selfe
,
that
notwithstanding
all
you
can
say
,
many
of
the
English
who
are
yours
in
Religion
,
doe
assist
the
States
in
their
warres
with
body
and
goods
,
both
in
regard
of
the
iustnesse
of
the
cause
which
you
impugne
,
and
the
necessitie
they
see
of
vpholding
them
,
or
falling
our selues
with
them
to
Spanish
subiection
and
slauerie
,
which
they
are
not
such
traitors
to
permit
;
howsoeuer
you
,
and
such
as
you
wish
it
.
And
for
our
owne
,
I
meane
,
such
as
are
reformed
Catholikes
indeed
,
they
laugh
at
all
that
you
say
,
as
knowing
the
truth
much
better
,
then
to
be
mis-led
by
iuggling
.
And
therefore
you
see
how
easily
they
are
drawne
to
goe
ouer
with
me
to
serue
the
States
General
,
when
you
haue
lien
long
in
London
,
and
spent
much
money
,
&
promised
large
meanes
,
(
much
more
then
you
meane
euer
to
performe
)
yet
goe
ouer
weakely
prouided
;
and
such
as
you
carrie
,
you
haue
gotten
by
faining
your selfe
to
be
for
vs
,
&
now
hold
by
force
,
or
they
would
now
leaue
you
,
and
come
to
vs.
But
the
best
is
,
you
put
the
King
of
Spaine
to
booteles
cost
to
carrie
them
ouer
for
vs
at
his
charge
:
for
within
this
three
moneths
we
shall
haue
all
that
are
left
aliue
,
come
to
vs
,
for
bread
,
or
meanes
,
or
their
Passes
.
And
for
such
as
are
with
vs
alreadie
,
all
that
you
haue
;
or
can
say
,
doth
but
rather
cause
them
to
binde
themselues
more
close
together
,
for
the
cunning
and
industrie
they
see
vsed
on
all
sides
to
diuide
and
seuer
them
.
And
this
(
I
doubt
not
)
will
moue
the
wisdome
of
the
States
General
,
and
his
Excellencie
,
seeing
our
people
at
home
so
well
affected
to
their
Cause
and
Countrey
,
and
the
Commanders
and
Souldiers
so
sure
and
trustie
to
them
,
(
as
persons
interested
in
the
same
quarrell
)
to
vse
them
not
as
meere
mercenarie
and
salarie
Souldiers
,
but
nobly
,
freely
,
and
bountifully
as
Natiues
;
who
though
they
take
pay
,
as
their
owne
,
for
meere
necessitie
,
(
for
who
goeth
to
warfarre
at
his
owne
charge
?
●
.
Cor

)
yet
fight
freely
,
not
with
respect
to
the
money
,
but
loue
of
the
Cause
and
Countrey
;
for
which
they
deserue
to
haue
vsage
as
Natiues
,
to
be
payed
with
aduantage
,
to
haue
their
meanes
advanced
without
exaction
,
or
grieuance
.
And
this
I
wish
for
conclusion
,
and
would
aduise
if
they
wanted
it
,
or
I
were
wise
enough
to
aduise
,
that
the
Lords
would
carefully
foresee
,
that
neither
they
,
nor
the
Coronels
preferre
young
men
vpon
letters
and
commends
,
to
places
of
command
;
for
so
th●y
may
aduance
enemies
,
&
permit
(
through
couetousnesse
)
Indian
gold
in
the
hand
of
a
Spanish
Ambassador
,
Agent
,
or
Pentioner
;
Hee
or
Shee
to
stickle
in
the
Camp
,
as
it
doth
often
in
the
Courts
of
Princes
;
but
haue
an
eye
to
old
Souldiers
of
merit
,
seruice
and
experience
,
and
freely
preferre
them
,
and
then
(
God
being
their
helpe
,
and
still
keeping
them
in
concord
)
they
need
feare
nothing
,
nor
care
what
you
and
your
associates
can
say
,
nor
what
your
Master
and
all
his
ministers
can
doe
against
them
:
Si

To
