AFter
the
shouts
and
acclamatiof
all
true
hearted
English
,
for
the
safe
and
single
returne
of
the
Prince
of
Great
Brittaine
,
had
made
the
roofe
of
Heauen
to
resound
,
and
with
the
noyse
hand
shooke
such
a
terror
into
the
ill
affected
body
of
Spaine
,
that
a
cold
,
and
benumming
feare
,
ran
through
her
ioynts
,
her
friends
began
to
bethinke
themselues
,
of
a
timely
recomfort
,
to
finde
the
meanes
a
fresh
to
rouse
vp
her
spirits
,
(
by
this
time
halfe
repenting
her selfe
of
parting
with
so
pretious
a
pawne
,
(
the
possession
whereof
she
imagined
,
might
haue
tied
vs
to
haue
precisely
kept
day
,
(
though
it
were
likely
to
haue
had
prooued
more
fatall
vnto
her
,
then
euer
was
the
gold
of
Thousouse
to
Cepio's
Souldiers
)
and
as
it
falleth
out
among
sicke
persons
,
some
of
sounder
iudgement
then
the
rest
,
about
her
in
particular
and
euery
one
in
generall
giuing
their
best
opinions
,
vndertooke
(
so
she
would
be
ruled
)
to
rid
her
off
that
fit
and
distempered
perplexity
.
And
for
this
purpose
appoynting
for
a
further
consultation
to
be
at
Seuill
in
Audaluzia
,
whether
already
the
King
with
most
of
the
Nobility
had
retired
themselues
in
regard
(
they
sayd
)
the
English
who
were
in
number
about
seauen-score
,
had
not
long
before
eaten
vp
all
the
prouision
in
Madrid
,
and
within
thirty

about
,
there
came

whither
being
come
,
and
hauing
made
choyce
of
a
goodly
and
faire
Pallace
,
anciently
belonging
vnto
the
D.
of
Beiar
principall
of
the

after
many
an
enterchange
of
complement
,
each
as
his
precedence
required
tooke
his
place
,
like
a
colledge
of
wise
Physitians
to
consult
of
the
state
of
that
body
and
Kingdome
,
how
with
medicines
(
as
Physitians
call
them
)
to
preuent
her
future
danger
,
withall
for
the
present
to
repayre
the
ruine
of
her
reputation
and
credit
with
the
world
,
(
since
now
her
plots
and
practises
are
smoaked
,
their
gordian
knots
vntwisted
euen
by

Lastly
,
how
to
gaine
by
strong
hand
,
what
all
this
while

could
not
compasse
by
artes
and

.
Being
all
set
and
silent
,
the
Duke
of
Medina
Coeli
,
stoode
vp
and
spake
as
followeth
.
My
Lords
,
it
hath
pleased
his
Catholique
Maiesty
the
King
our
Mr.
to
giue
way
to
this
our
meeting
and
Parlamentary
assembly
,
to
consult
and
aduise
among
our selues
,
what
course
is
most
fittest
to
be
holden
of
vs
,
in
these
tempestuous
times
,
for
the
weather
being
changed
,
and
the
bright
beames
of
our
hopes
ouer-cast
,
we
are
from
euery
side
to
expect
rage
and
stormes
.
You
are
not
ignorant
how
there
is
now
a
Parliament
holden
in
England
,
that
bode
vs
no
good
,
in
Holland
a
dayly
consultation
with
present
preparation
,
In
France
a
Councell
together
with
an
vnaminity
of
Kings
and
Peeres
,
for
some
great
vndertaking
:
How
nerely
then
concernes
it
vs
of
Spaine
,
to
be
vigilant
,
and
to
looke
about
vs
:
first
,
for
the
maintenance
and
aduancement
of
the
Catholique
Religion
,
and
holy
Church
:
Secondly
,
for
the
defence
of
his
Maiesties
Kingdomes
and
Territories
:
Thirdly
,
to
heare
the
grieuances
of
the
people
groaning
vnder
the
heauy
burthen
of
exaction
and
oppression
,
though
the
couetuosnesse
of
publique
offices
.
Fourthly
,
for
the
supply
of
the
Treasury
which
a
late
hath
beene
much
exhausted
,
partly
by
preparation
by
Sea
against
our
Common
enemies
,
Turkes
,
and
Hollanders
,
and
partly
by
the
extraordinary
entertainment
of
Charles
Prince
of
Wales
,
the
charge
wherof
amounted
to
49.
thousand
Ducates
.
Fift
,
and
lastly
,
for
giuing
the
world
satisfaction
,
and
the
taking
away
of
those
vile
scandales
and
imputations
,
which
euen
within
these
few
dayes
haue
beene
,
and
are
hourely
cast
vpon
vs
,
especially
,
(
as
they
giue
it
out
)
in
dealing
doubly
and
dishonorably
with
England
,
concerning
the
Treaty
of
the
Match
.
He
hauing
ended
,
the
D.
of
Braganza
the
next
began
thus
.
I
am
sorry
that
I
liue
to
see
the
day
,
that
the
Honor
of
Spaine
which
was
wont
to
dazle
the
eye
of
Europe
with
the
vnsufferable
splendor
of
its
brightnesse
,
should
now
be
ouer
cast
with
the
blacke
cloud
of
disgrace
,
and
the
name
of
a
Spaniarde
so
redoubted
ouer
the
world
,
become
branded
with
the
infamous
attributes
and
epithites
of
false
,
ambitious
,
proud
,
and
cruell
,
and
those
Nations
who
were
wont
to
adore
vs
for
our
faith
,
contemne
,
and
scorne
vs
now
for
treachery
and
falshood
.
Certes
loyalty
and
the
Religious
obseruance
of
our
promises
,
and
faith
,
was
anciently
held
our
prime
vertue
,
insomuch
that
Fey
de
Spagna
grew
into
a
Prouerbe
,
like
the
gold
of
Ophir
out
valewing
any
other
,
that
I
speake
no
new
thing
,
or
vntruth
,
you
may
plainely
perceiue
it
by
the
multitude
of
discourses
,
pamphlets
and
pasquills
that
are
dayly
vented
against
vs
from
all
parts
of
the
World
,
wherein
wee
are
iested
at
,
derided
,
disgraced
,
by
verses
and
vnseemely
Pictures
,
especially
of
late
dayes
,
from
Holland
,
France
,
and
England
:
yea
as
I
vnderstand
in
songs
and
Ballades
,
sung
vp
and
downe
the
Streetes
in
many
places
:
whence
this
imputation
,
vpon
so
iust
and
braue
a
Nation
,
so
potent
a
Monarch
(
at
the
brandishing
of
whose
sword
Europe
trembles
)
should
proceede
,
I
cannot
ghesse
,
yet
desire
to
be
satisfied
herein
,
in
the
King
my
Mr.
and
Kinsmans
behalfe
,
my
Kinsman
,
for
you
all
know
my
neere
alliance
vnto
his
Maiesty
,
and
my
Poesie
may
intimate
no
lesse
vnto
the
world
which
is
Pues
vos
,
nos
,
after
you
,
we
,
being
next
in
blood
if
the
issue
Royall
should
faile
.
But
I
am
a
fraide
the
ill
carriage
of
some
priuate
men
at
home
,
(
perhaps
our
Embassadors
in
Forraine
parts
,
)
haue
throwne
this
aspersion
vpon
vs
,
hauing
eyther
giuen
abroad
to
many
ouertures
of
our
designes
,
or
attempted
their
ends
with
ouermuch
hast
and
violence
,
which
in
time
and
by
gentle
hand
might
haue
beene
easier
won
,
as
a
bough
whose
fruite
we
meane
to
gather
,
is
brough
downe
by
degrees
,
which
else
might
breake
and
we
loose
our
longing
.
Surely
,
in
the
first
,
me
thinke
our
Nation
should
not
easily
offend
,
we
beeing
esteemed
the
most
close
and
reserued
to
our selues
in
the
world
,
as
the
euent
of
our
greatest
and
most
important
actions
haue
sufficiently
shewne
.
Did
we
not
in
88.
carry
our
businesse
for
England
so
cunningly
and
secretly
as
well
,
in
that
well
dislembled
treaty
with
the
English
neere
Ostend
,
whereto
for
vs
were
deputed
,
Aremberge
,
Champigny
,
Richardot
and
other
,
as
in
bringing
our
Nauy
to
their
shores
,
while
their
Commanders
and
Captaines
were
at
bowles
vpon
the
hoe
of
Plimouth
,
and
had
my
Lord
Alonso
Guzman
,
the
Duke
of
Medina
Sidonia
had
but
the
resolution
(
but
in
truth
his
Commission
was
otherwise
)
he
might
haue
suprized
them
as
they
lay
at
Anker
,
and
the
like
.
In
Ireland
when
Don
Ivan
d'
Aquila
had
gotten
footing
in
the
Irish
ground
ere
any
of
the
mist
:
How
were
our
plots
and
correspondence
with
Biron
carryed
▪
with
infinite
the
like
examples
.
Touching
the
latter
,
the
Spanish
Nation
hath
of
all
other
in
the
world
beene
held
for
the
most
sober
,
stayd
,
and
wise
,
and
were
wont
neuer
to
attempt
any
thing
but
vpon
great
and
long
aduice
,
accounting
it
with
Quintus
Fabius
more
honorable
to
bee
accounted
droanes
or
cowards
,
then
to
hazard
our
affaires
,
or
Armies
,
French
like
,
onely
in
a
vaine-glorious
hastinesse
to
gaine
the
Honor
of
charging
the
first
.
So
that
it
seemeth
strange
to
me
that
we
haue
I
know
not
vpon
what
grounds
incurred
the
hate
and
scorne
of
other
Nations
,
and
that
we
especially
of
the
Nobility
should
be
thought
ill
of
since
of
Nobility
ours
of
Spaine
,
hath
beene
euer
held
the
most
illustrious
and
eminent
of
the
world
.
The
Duke
hauing
made
an
end
,
Gondomar
easily
raysing
himselfe
from
his
chayre
wherein
he
sat
vpon
two
downe
pillowes
,
and
resting
himselfe
vpon
a
little
Brasill
staffe
,
spake
as
followeth
.
My
Lords
,
I
can
deriue
this
slaunder
of
our
Country
,
and
hate
of
our selues
from
no
other
fountaine
then
the
Fanaticall
humors
and
distracted
spirits
of
some
of
the
English
,
who
find
themselues
not
a
little
gall'd
and
vexed
with
our
politique
delayes
heretofore
,
and
now
our
finall
reiection
,
and
(
I
hope
)
shaking
hands
with
that
Hereticall
Nation
for
euer
,
for
if
your
Alteses
and
Honors
will
but
consider
what
aduenture
and
boote
we
haue
made
by
them
,
I
thinke
you
will
say
we
might
well
endure
these
British
Northen
and
cold
blasts
:
meane
time
in
so
suffering
for
our
Catholique
King
,
and
in
the
Catholique
cause
we
ought
to
take
such
approbry
rather
as
an
Honor
vnto
vs
then
otherwise
.
Moreouer
,
if
we
shall
consider
who
are
the
Authors
of
these
flying
Plamphlets
,
wee
shall
finde
to
proceede
from
the
pennes
of
light
and
vnstayed
wits
,
with
intent
eyther
to
winne
the
opinion
of
good
intelligencers
and
statistes
together
with
the
aiery
applause
of
the
Vulgar
,
or
to
rayse
to
their
desperate
Fortunes
,
when
the
tempest
is
ouer
,
(
as
it
oft
hath
happened
)
and
now
likely
we
being
fallen
off
from
England
,
and
the
Treaty
at
an
end
.
Yea
,
but
quoth
the
Duke
of
Medina
Caeli
,
what
should
be
the
reason
of
that
inbred
and
Naturall
hate
the
common
people
of
England
should
beare
to
vs
,
and
our
Country
aboue
any
Nation
in
the
world
,
the
Hollanders
,
Turkes
,
and
Indians
excepted
.
Quoth
the
Arch-bishop
of
Toledo
,
herein
we
are
Arch.
B.
Toledo
.
much
deceiued
,
for
his
Catholique
Maiesty
and
our selues
all
haue
very
many
faithfull
and
fast
friends
in
England
,
who
would
not
sticke
to
hazard
their
liues
and
fortunes
in
the
Seruice
of
his
Maiesty
,
might
time
and
occasion
be
offered
,
yea
,
and
some
none
of
the
meanest
.
The
Marquesse
of
Castello
Rodrigo
,
then
arising
vp
with
a
graue
countenance
,
and
a
deliberate
vtterance
sayd
,
is
it
possible
that
any
place
in
the
world
should
bring
forth
such
a
monster
,
as
a
Traytor
to
his
Country
,
or
allow
bread
to
any
one
so
vnnaturally
base
,
as
to
draw
his
sword
,
and
side
with
an
enemy
against
her
,
I
will
say
that
for
our
Spaine
,
I
do
not
remember
or
euer
had
read
,
that
shee
afforded
a
Traytor
,
or
so
much
as
one
that
serued
a
sworne
enemy
against
her
Prince
.
By
your
fauour
,
quoth
Lewes
de
Velasco
,
what
Country-man
was
he
of
Count
Iohn
of
Nassau's
regiment
,
that
tooke
the
Admirant
of
Arragon
prisoner
at
the
battaile
of
Neuport
.
It
is
true
quoth
Gonzales
de
Cordua
,
he
was
a
Spaniard
,
but
examples
hereof
are
very
rare
.
Quoth
Gondomar
,
so
they
are
,
and
though
England
be
the
colder
Country
,
yet
it
hath
bred
more
venemous
Creatures
of
this
Nature
,
then
euer
Spaine
,
yea
euen
vnder
the
Sunne-shine
of
their
mildest
and
most
moderate
gouernments
.
Whence
quoth
the
Duke
of
Escalona
should
this
proceede
.
I
will
tell
you
(
quoth
Gondomar
)
my
opinion
,
the
English
naturally
are
desirous
of
nouelties
,
and
innouations
,
and
as
it
were
sicke
in
the
soft
beds
of
their
long
liberty
,
peace
,
and
plenty
,
(
which
they
enioy
vnder
as
wise
and
as
good
a
King
as
euer
liued
)
they
suppose
nothing
wanteth
to
their
full
happinesse
but
change
and
variety
:
I
must
liken
them
to
Giotto
of
Florence
his
Asse
,
who
when
he
went
along
with
a
rich
saddle
of
beaten
gold
on
his
backe
with
a
Crowne
and
Scepter
lying
thereon
,
yet
he
could
not
choose
but
smell
vpon
a
Carriers
packesaddle
as
it
lay
at
an
Inne
doore
.
Hence
are
strangers
the
most
admired
and
entertayned
amongst
them
,
and
if
of
quality
preferred
many
times
to
place
and
preferment
before
the
English
,
though
perhaps
there
are
many
who
deserue
better
.
I
haue
seene
there
a
torne
and
tatter'd
French
Lacquay
,
but
as
this
day
arriued
out
of
France
,
and
the
next
,
he
hath
ietted
in
the
Court
in
his
Tissue
or
Scarlet
at
the
least
:
what
preferment
came
that
arch-hypocrite
Spalato
vnto
.
Ascanio
the
Frier
,
who
left
his
wife
in
St.
Mantins
lane
,
and
ranne
againe
to
his
Order
.
And
a
poore
and
ignorant
Italian
Mountebanke
,
sought
after
for
his
skill
as
if
Aesculapius
or
Machaon
were
againe
raised
from
the
dead
,
yea
when
but
a
Spanish
gowne
(
happily
of
the
Embassadours
Lady
,
or
of
her
gentlewoman
)
how
was
it
sought
after
by
Ladies
,
and
Taylors
for
the
fashion
,
happy
was
she
that
could
first
get
her
into
the
Spanish
fashion
,
to
their
no
small
charge
,
the
Spanish
garments
exceeding
all
other
in
fulnesse
,
compasse
,
and
length
,
which
by
this
time
it
may
be
they
haue
conuerted
into
Cushions
.
My
Lords
,
you
would
hardly
haue
forborne
laughter
,
to
haue
heard
how
I
haue
beene
enquired
after
for
Maisters
for
the
Spanish
tongue
,
(
that
I
may
say
nothing
of
so
many
bills
set

nay
I
could
haue
no
seruice
almost
done
me
of
my
Mullettors
and
Groomes
,
for
being
employed
in
teaching
the
Spanish
among
Ladyes
and
their
maydes
,
though
I
knew
I
tell
you
,
English
must
be
that
they
were
to
trust
too
when
all
was
done
.
Touching
my selfe
being
Embassadour
there
from
his
Catholique
Maiesty
,
and
the
sole
instrument
in
the
Treaty
for
the
match
,
which
the
Catholiques
there
so
long
thirsted
after
,
if
I
should
relate
vnto
you
the
particulars
of
mine
owne
entertainment
,
you
would
(
I
suppose
)
imagine
I
told
you
wonders
beyond
beleefe
,
for
beside
the
great
and
gracious
respect
I
found
,
and
fauors
I
receiued
from
his
Maiesty
of
Great
Brittaine
,
and
sundry
of
the
Nobility
,
who
seemed
wholy
to
be
compounded
of
curtesie
and
Noblenesse
,
there
passed
not
a
day
wherein
I
was
not
visited
,
by
some
of
the
best
ranke
,
or
receiued
some
present
or
other
,
from
Catholique
Gentlemen
,
or
their
Ladyes
,
(
so
welcome
was
the
very
thought
of
the
Spanish
match
vnto
them
)
I
returning
them
againe
,
with
thankes
,
large
promises
,
and
apparant
hopes
of
preferment
,
when
the
time
should
come
.
And
be
it
spoken
among
our selues
,
since
wee
are
falling
off
from
England
,
I
made
better
vse
of
their
kindnesse
then
so
,
for
there
were
few
Catholiques
in
England
of
note
,
from
whom
in
this
regard
,
I
wrested
not
out
a
good
round
summe
of
money
:
Sir
Robert
Cotton
a
great
Antiquary
,
I
heare
,
much
complaineth
of
me
,
that
from
his
friends
and
aquaintance
onely
I
got
into
my
purse
the
summe
at
the
least
of
ten
thousand
pounds
,
I
deny
it
not
;
and
true
it
is
,
I
borrowed
of
the
good
old
Lady
W.
of
the
Parish
in
St.
Martins
in
the
Feilds
300
pounds
,
or
thereabouts
,
promising
her
repayment
(
whereof
I
will
not
faile
)
so
soone
as
Donna
Maria
,
the
Infanta
should
arriue
in
England
,
and
for
the
vse
hereof
,
I
promised
to
make
her
mother
of
her
maydes
,
perswading
her
,
it
was
not
fit
that
so
graue
and
good
a
Lady
as
her selfe
should
lye
obscured
in
priuate
,
but
rather
attend
vpon
my
young
Mistresse
,
the
brauest
and
most
hopefull
Princesse
of
the
World
,
vpon
these
hopes
she
turned
Catholique
,
and
since
I
neuer
saw
her
.
I
sold
moreouer
,
the
place
of
Groomesse
,
of
her
highnesse
Stoole
,
to
six
seuerall
English
Ladyes
,
who
were
eager
of
it
,
only
cause
be
they
might
take
place
before
their
fellowes
:
I
lost
nothing
neither
by
a
Noble
Gentleman
,
whom
I
caused
to
be
knowne
for
a
kinsman
of
the
King
my
Mr.
for
that
he
was
descended
from
the
Noble
and
ancient
family
of
Aiala
in
Spaine
,
these
are
but
mites
and
crums
in
regard
of
those
great
presents
,
and
many
pentions
I
had
sent
me
vnder-hand
,
from
the
Catholiques
from
all
parts
of
England
during
my
aboade
there
,
had
my
finger
but
aked
,
or
beene
ill
disposed
(
as
I
often
was
in
body
)
I
had
sent
me
iewels
,
sweet-meates
,
perfumes
,
linnen
,
Rose-water
,
and
a
thousand
of
such
trifles
,
only
I
returned
them
thankes
,
and
promised
them
or
their
friends
preferment
,
when
time
serued
.
If
you
were
my
Lord
,
so
nobly
entertained
in
England
,
quoth
Braganza
,
whence
is
it
,
or
vpon
what
occasion
haue
wee
gotten
to
our selues
the
ill
will
and
distast
of
that
Nation
.
I
must
confesse
,
quoth
Gondomar
,
the
common
people
of
England
beare
generally
an
inbred
spleene
toward
vs
,
as
it
seemeth
by
many
rude
affronts
,
we
were
offered
there
by
the
baser
sort
,
contrary
to
the
will
and
pleasure
of
his
Maiesty
of
great
Brittany
,
who
published
many
Edictes
and
Proclamations
in
our
behalfes
,
punishing
many
times
the
offenders
seuerely
as
they
could
be
taken
,
but
why
the
name
of
a
Spaniard
should
be
so
become
odious
vnto
them
,
is
a
question
I
cannot
easily
resolue
.
Some
thinke
that
there
is
a
naturall
antipathy
or
contrariery
of
affection
betweene
our
disposition
and
theirs
,
they
liuing
in
the
North
,
and
we
in
the
South
;
which
being
(
as
Charron
a
French
Author
obserueth
)
neerer
to
the
Sunne
,
the
inhabitants
are
more
crafty
,
politique
,
and
religious
,
(
though
he
his
in
that
)
euen
to
superstition
and
Idolatry
,
where
as
on
the
contrary
,
those
of
the
North
(
howsoeuer
goodlier
in
person
,
better
faced
,
and
more
beautifull
then
our selues
by
reason
of
the
coldnesse
of
the
climate
,
preseruing
inwardly
the
naturall
heate
,
and
radicall
moysture
,
)
are
plaine
simple
,
nothing
so
religious
contemners
withall
,
of
the
glorious
ceremonies
of
our
Church
,
wherewith
we
haue
drawne
more
Heathen
in
eyther
India
to
Christianity
,
in
one
yeare
,
then
they
can
with
their
Lutheran
and
Caluinisticall
Sermons
in
all
their
liues
.
This
very
selfe
same
thing
(
quoth
Gonzales
)
I
once
vrged
by
way
of
Argument
to
an
Earle
of
Germany
who
was
a
professed
Lutheran
Heretique
,
and
his
reply
herein
was
,
so
are
fooles
and
children
taken
with
bells
,
gilt
pouches
,
and
colours
,
and
our
Ladies
and
faire
Gentlewomen
,
(
we
see
)
oftentimes
woed
and
wonne
,
only
with
a
braue
out-side
on
the
backe
of
a
base
knaue
,
when
an
honest
man
,
and
of
deseruing
parts
is
reiected
,
in
a
plaine
and
ordinary
suite
of
clothes
,
and
not
held
worthy
the
looking
after
.
They
talke
as
they
are
(
quoth
Gondomar
)
I
am
sure
these
drew
more
to
my
little
priuate
Chappell
in
Holborne
,
then
their
best
Preachers
of
Sermons
could
doe
to
any
Church
they
had
.
But
quoth
the
Duke
of
Hijaz
,
it
may
be
they
hate
vs
for
the
same
cause
,
that
France
,
Germany
,
Italie
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Countries
of
Europe
,
for
that
many
of
vs
are
discended
of
the
Moorish
race
:
wherefore
we
are
termed
of
them
in
Italy
,
M●rani
,
and
of
other
Moros
Blancos
,
and
Nue
vos
Christianos
:
For
indeede
it
was
but
in
the
yeare
1492.
when
Granado
was
recouered
from
the
Moores
,
Mahomet
sirnamed
the
Little
,
and
sonne
of
Muley
Albohacen
being
King
thereof
,
though
Toledo
and
Cordoua
long
before
,
and
it
may
be
they
hold
vs
still
infected
with
Moorish
minds
,
and
a
spice
of
their
manners
,
though
they
are
assured
we
are
Christians
,
yea
and
the
most
Catholique
too
.
I
heare
(
quoth
Signior
Gondomar
)
it
is
obiected
in
their
now
present
Parliament
,
that
in
all
treatises
for
the
space
of
these
two
hundred
yeares
,
Spaine
hath
dealt
with
the
English
,
fide
punica
,
neuer
kept
touch
with
them
in
any
serious
capitulation
,
but
euer
aiming
at
her
owne
ends
,
vsed
their
alliance
and
friendshippe
but
as
a
stale
or
stalking-horse
ouer
their
backes
to
shoote
at
others
,
or
serue
her
owne
necessities
for
the
present
,
and
hereof
their
Antiquaries
(
they
say
)
haue
found
many
Presidents
.
Among
others
they
affirme
and
proue
,
to
the
preiudice
of
our
Treaty
,
that
Charles
the
fift
was
first
himselfe
betrothed
to
Queene
Mary
,
and
I
know
vpon
what
tricke
and
policy
he
vntied
himselfe
againe
,
and
vsed
the
meanes
to
conferre
her
vpon
Prince
Philip
his
sonne
.
But
the
very
truth
is
,
they
carry
a
vindictiue
resolution
against
vs
euer
since
our
intended
conquest
of
them
in
88.
and
peraduenture
the
Powder-plot
in
1605.
which
yet
seemeth
Manere
alta
mente
repostum
.
Indeede
Henry
the
4.
of
France
,
sirnamed
the
Great
,
laboured
at
one
time
a
reconciliation
betweene
vs
,
but
he
found
the
rootes
of
eithers
discontent
so
deepe
,
and
the
sore
so
vnsalueable
,
that
hee
gaue
it
ouer
in
the
end
.
Touching
mine
owne
person
,
I
was
generally
hated
,
I
confesse
,
of
the
common
people
:
for
no
other
cause
,
I
imagine
,
then
for
the
great
grace
and
fauour
I
was
in
with
his
Maiesty
,
vnto
whom
I
had
free
accesse
at
all
times
,
and
his
gracious
eare
to
any
reasonable
suite
or
request
I
could
demaund
,
the
particulars
of
the
Seruice
I
did
to
the
King
my
Master
(
whom
God
long
preserue
)
I
thinke
are
not
vnknown
vnto
you
,
I
omitting
no
one
houre
or
minute
of
time
wherein
I
did
not
benefit
either
him
by
my
seruice
,
my selfe
by
experience
,
or
a
friend
by
a
good
turne
.
For
during
the
time
of
my
abode
in
England
,
and
whilest
I
lay
in
London
,
I
got
partly
by
the
meanes
of
well
affected
friends
,
and
partly
by
mine
owne
experience
(
for
in
sommer
,
time
vnder
the
colour
of
taking
the
ayre
,
I
would
take
view
of
the
countrey
)
I
had
perfect
knowledge
of
the
estate
of
the
whole
Land
:
for
there
was
no
Fortification
,
Hauen
,
Creeke
,
or
Landing-place
about
the
Coast
of
England
,
but
I
got
a
platforme
and
draught
thereof
,
I
learned
the
depth
of
all
their
Channels
,
I
was
acquainted
with
all
Sands
,
Shelues
,
Rockes
,
Riuers
that
might
impeach
or
make
for
inuasion
,
I
had
perpetually
in
a
Role
the
names
of
all
the
Ships
of
King
Iames
his
Nauy
Royall
,
I
knewe
to
a
haire
of
what
burthen
euery
ship
was
,
what
Ordinance
she
carried
,
what
number
of
Saylors
,
who
were
the
Captaines
,
for
what
places
they
were
bound
,
which
were
in
repaire
and
fit
for
seruice
,
and
which
not
,
I
knew
the
strength
of
the
Tower
of
London
,
what
Armour
,
Ordinance
,
small
Shot
and
Powder
it
might
affoord
.
You
know
moreouer
my
Lords
,
I
acquainted
the
King
my
maister
with
Sir
Walter
Raleigh's
intended
voyage
to
Guiana
,
and
euery
particular
thereof
,
when
it
was
but
in
embryone
,
and
when
he
himselfe
vowed
onely
three
were
acquainted
with
his
purpose
and
resolution
,
but
the
fourth
should
neuer
know
what
he
intended
vntill
he
had
set
footing
in
America
:
yet
I
say
,
I
knew
what
he
aimed
at
,
what
course
he
meant
to
hold
,
where
to
land
,
what
places
he
meant
to
surprise
,
what
force
he
carried
,
and
by
what
way
he
resolued
to
returne
:
with
all
which
particulars
,
as
I
haue
already
sayd
)
I
acquainted
you
long
ere
he
went
,
and
he
was
no
sooner
gone
but
I
was
assured
I
had
his
head
at
my
deuotion
,
to
take
it
when
I
listed
(
hauing
sufficient
matter
to
all●dge
against
him
)
and
at
last
,
though
his
treason
for
which
he
stood
condemned
many
yeares
before
)
was
the
hatcher
,
yet
the
hand
was
mine
that
gaue
him
the
blow
:
For
it
concerned
vs
aboue
all
the
rest
in
case
we
should
fall
off
from
England
,
and
burst
out
into
our
old
enmitie
,
to
make
away
with
him
,
who
would
haue
proued
the
onely
Boutefeu
and
Cendiarie
of
the
world
,
instirring
●p
the
hatred
of
the
English
and
other
Nations
against
vs
,
he
being
a
Darling
of
our
late
deadliest
enemy
Queene
Elizabeth
,
and
one
of
the
last
men
to
be
borne
of
those
great
Spirits
,
and
experienced
Captaines
the
time
of
her
raigne
produced
.
His
Maiesty
(
I
humbly
thanke
him
)
tooke
especially
notice
of
this
seruice
of
mine
(
and
as
it
was
told
me
)
gaue
me
great
thankes
for
it
aboue
the
rest
.
I
was
no
lesse
diligent
for
the
discouery
of
the
Inland
,
then
for
the
Shores
and
Sea-coasts
:
For
there
was
neu●r
a
Sheire
in
England
,
but
I
better
know
the
estate
,
power
and
quality
thereof
then
the
Inhabitants
,
euen
the
best
of
them
themselues
did
.
I
could
in
particular
relate
the
nature
of
the
soyle
,
what
power
of
men
and
horse
th●y
were
able
to
raise
,
who
were
the
chiefe
and
of
most
ability
and
credit
in
the
Countrey
,
who
the
most
antient
Gentlemen
,
what
they
were
worth
in
their
reuenues
and
estates
,
how
they
stood
affected
in
Religion
,
who
were
Puritanes
,
and
who
Catholiques
,
and
among
Catholiques
who
stood
for
vs
,
and
who
(
for
such
there
were
)
were
indifferent
or
against
vs.
And
which
moreouer
is
of
equall
consequence
,
there
was
not
a
Sermon
preached
at
Paules
Crosse
,
or
indeed
in
any
other
Church
of
the
City
or
place
in
the
Kingdome
,
that
did
but
touch
the
hemme
of
my
maisters
garment
,
or
was
any
way
preiudiciall
vnto
vs
or
the
match
(
which
we
seemingly
intended
)
but
I
had
my
Leame-hounds
ready
in
euery
corner
to
draw
after
them
dry-foote
,
and
fetch
the
Authors
Coram
nobis
,
to
their
cost
,
as
one
Dr.
Euerard
of
St.
Martins
,
was
for
his
bold
and
malapert
inueighing
and
continually
preaching
against
vs
and
the
match
silenced
by
my
onely
meanes
,
for
(
I
sayd
)
and
often
told
my
best
friends
,
till
the
mouthes
of
such
Rabshecahs
were
stopped
,
no
vnitie
or
sincere
reconciliation
of
either
Nation
:
(
for
the
effecting
of
which
now
was
the
time
)
could
possibly
be
expected
.
One
Whiting
,
besides
a
Dr.
of
Diuinity
,
Mr.
Clayton
for
his
Spanish
Ewe
,
in
a
Sermon
at
S.
Paules
Crosse
was
layd
vp
for
his
lauish
tongue
,
and
had
like
before
to
haue
smarted
for
a
Sermon
hee
made
before
his
Maiestie
at
Wansted
in
Essex
in
August

two
yeares
since

And
I
thinke
Ward
of
Ipswich
escaped
not
safely
for
his
lewd
and
profane
picture
of
88.
and
their
Powder
treason
,
one
whereof
my
L.
Arch-bishop
I
sent
you
in
a
letter
,
that
you
might
see
the
malice
of
these
detestable
Heretiques
,
against
his
Holinesse
and
the
Catholique
Church
.
Neither
was
there
any
publicke
speech
made
openly
in
any
Court
of
Iustice
,
were
it
in
either
house
of
Parliament
;
Starre
Chamber
,
Countrey
Assize
,
yea
,
many
times
vttered
priuately
in
the
Court
,
but
I
got
an
inckling
,
and
made
good
vse
thereof
:
yea
,
I
was
partaker
of
Gossips
newes
in
the
Citty
,
brought
to
mine
owne
bed
chamber
by
my
wel

Mrs.
M.
of
Fleet-streete
.
Indeede
Signior
Gondomar
,
quoth
one
,
herein
consisted
the
pythe
and
marrow
of
your
seruice
,
but
if
you
please
proceed
.
I
againe
entertained
,
to
my
no
small
charge
,
Intelligencers
in
euery
Countrey
(
indeed
Catholicke
Priests
)
whose
liberty
out
of
prison
I
obtained
for
that
very
purpose
:
for
being
abroad
,
they
did
vs
a
threefold
seruice
:
First
they
gained
soules
to
God
,
friends
to
the
King
my
maister
,
and
money
good
store
into
our
purses
:
for
I
got
out
of
English
Catholiques
to
mine
owne
vse
threescore
thousand
pounds
at
the
least
.
For
the
first
,
it
hath
bene
certified
me
for
a
certaine
,
&
by
report
from
many
of
their
own
mouthes
,
that
the
number
of
soules
which
they
haue
gained
into
the
bosome
of
the
Church
since
the
remission
of
the
penall
Lawes
against
them
,
and
their
freedom
by
my
meanes
obtained
,
amounteth
to
the
number
of
eight
and
thirty
thousand
and
odde
.
Secondly
,
they
haue
confirmed
the
Catholicks
,
and
made
them
so
fast
for
the
King
our
Maister
,
that
they
haue
auowed
vnto
me
diuerse
times
,
that
rather
then
misse
of
the
Match
,
they
would
make
vp
the
best
part
of
the
Infanta's
portion
out
of
their
owne
purses
,
yea
,
though
it
were
with
the
selling
or
pawning
of
all
their
plate
and
Iewels
.
Within
the
City
,
for
a
small
matter
,
I
feede
certaine
discontented
and
necessitous
Catholickes
of
the
English
,
to
walke
the
common
and
most
frequented
places
of
the
Citty
of
London
,
as
St.
Paules
Church
,
the
Exchange
,
now
and
then
among
the
Ordinaries
,
to
learne
the
common
newes
,
out
of
which
many
times
I
picked
good
matter
.
Neither
could
the
States
of
Holland
,
or
the
Embassadors
of
any
other
Forraine
Prince
carry
their
businesse
so
close
,
but
with
my
Maisters
golden
Key
,
I
could
finde
a
meanes
to
diue
into
their
Cabbinets
,
reseale
and
seale
againe
their
Packets
,
without
the
helpe
eyther
of
Arthor
Gregory
,
or
his
old
acquaintance
Phillips
.
It
was
not
one
of
my
worst
peeces
,
to
hold
the
English
in
suspence
,
with
an
apparent
ouerture
of
the
match
,
and
a
dilatory
promise
of
golden
mountaines
,

of

with

spoyled
all
,
for
howsoeuer
we
made
a
seeming
shew
of
reioycing
at
his
comming
,
and
did
him
all
Honor
beseeming
so
great
and
worthy
a
Prince
,
yet
to
speake
the
truth
my
Lords
,
you
all
know
wee
wished
him
a
thousand
miles
off
;
and
I
beleeue
some
of
the
English
themselues
were
here
sorry
that
he
had
engaged
himselfe
in
so
long
and
teadious
a
iourney
.
But
quoth
the
Duke
of
Hijaz
standing
vp
and
turning
himselfe
to
the
Duke
of
Medina
Coeli
,
and
the
Archbishop
of
Toledo
.
How
may
it
be
conceiued
that
the
Prince
of
England
his
arriuall
in
Spaine
,
should
either
praeiudice
vs
,
or
the
Treaty
of
the
Match
a
whit
,
since
he
found
here
the
greatest
content
he
could
deuise
,
he
had
a
sight
of
the
Lady
Maria
la
Infanta
his
Mistresse
,
whose
selfe
knowne
and
seene
exceeded
her
same
,
he
was
entertained
and
attended
vpon
by
the
most
compleate
and
generous
Nobles
of
Europe
,
and
had
that
entertainment
,
no
Nation
could
affoord
the
like
.

manner
from

with

(
insolent

we
must

thinke

the
darling
of
that
Nation
,
howsoeuer
he
could

his

we
may
one
day
perhaps
finde
the
fruites
of
our
double
dealing
,

the
effects
of
his
haught

incensed
courage

that

Indeede
my
L.
Olivares
,
you
are
much
blamed
for
that
discouery
and
light
you
gaue
to

The
Infanta
by
her
Fathers
will
,
bequeathed
to
the

Sonne
.
of
our
designe
,
and
the
secret
and
tenor
of
the
last
Kings
will
,
wherein
he
charged
vs
not
to
match
with
England
,
but
rather
to
hold
a
faire
Treaty
with
them
,
hauing
as
you
all
know
bequeathed
Maria
the
Infanta
to
the
Emperours
sonne
,
so
that
now
the
English
suppose
themselues
manifestly
deluded
.
Quoth
the
Duke
of
Sesa
,
they
know
it
well
enough
,
and
I
beleeue
we
shall
finde
them
so
sensible
of
it
,
that
we
had
beene
better
to
haue
played
faire
,
then
to
hazard
the
loosing
of
our
rest
by
such
an
encounter
.
Now
I
pray
you
let
vs
take
into
our
considerations
the
mischiefes
which
are
like
to
follow
.
First
,
it
is
thought
hereupon
they
haue
called
a
Parliament
,
which
consisteth
of
the
King
,
Prince
,
all
the
Lords
Spirituall
,
and
Temporall
,
of
the
Gentry
,
and
Commons
of
the
ablest
iudgements
,
and
vnderstanding
in
the
Land
,
vnto
this
Parliament
:
the
King
(
they
say
)
hath
wholy
referred
himselfe
,
not
onely
for
the
examination
and
redresse
of
all
abuses
and
misdemeanors
at
home
,
but
for
the
discussing
and
searching
into
all
plots
and
practises
of
The

and

.
others
abroad
,
that
may
seeme
any
way
to
preiudice
the
quiet
and
well
gouerned
estate
of
his
Kingdomes
,
without
interposition
or
mediation
,
so
that
the
King
and
people
go
all
on
and
together
,
with
that
alacrity
and
constancy
,
in
prouiding
for
the
good
estate
of
the
Kingdome
,
as
the
like
hath
not
beene
seene
these
many
yeares
,
Prince
CHARLES
himselfe
being
there
earely
and
late
,
Assiduvs
&
accubuus
,
amongst
them
,
whom
(
I
am
informed
)
with
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
,
wee
haue
our
prime
and
principall
opposers
.
A
difference
betweene
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
,
and
Count
Olivares
which
the
papists
giue
out
(
though
falsly
)
to
be
the
first
occasion
of
the
breach
of
the
match
.
I
must
confesse
(
quoth
Count
Olivares
)
there
fell
a
difference
betweene
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
,
and
my selfe
,
which
some
haue
rashly
and
inconsiderately
giuen
out
,
to
be
the
onely
cause
of
this
breach
,
for
they
say
before
that
time
all
things
went
forward
in
as
faire
a
way
as
might
be
.
Indeede
quoth
Toledo
the
Catholiques
of
England
haue
so
giuen
it
out
,
laying
all
the
fault
vpon
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
,
who
is
not
guilty
of
any
such
thing
,
I
will
excuse
him
,
that
peece
was
hammered
vpon
our
owne
Anuile
:
Buckingham
is
a
Noble
,
Wise
,
and
a
Generous
Prince
,
vpon
whom
the
King
his
Maister
hath
deseruedly
conferred
his
grace
,
and
those
transcendent
Honors
,
yea
though
for
no
other
former
merit
else
then
the
resolute
and
wise
carriage
of
himselfe
,
in
the
businesse
of
this
Treaty
amongst
vs
,
whereby
he
hath
not
onely
assured
himselfe
of
the
affection
and
heart
of
the
King
and
Prince
,
but
infinitely
for
his
faithfull
seruice
,
(
another
Fidus
Achates
)
vnto
him
gained
the
generall
loue
of
the
Common
people
,
as
it
not
long
since
appeared
,
when
he
was
ill
after
his
tedious
Voyage
by
Sea
,

But
to

,
what
effects
heare
you
is
it
likely
to
produce
,
or
wherein
is
it
thought
to
prooue
praejudicious
to
the
King
our
Maister
,
or
to
the
Catholique
Religion
?
First
replyed
Gondamor
,
it
is
likely
to
goe
worse
with
the
Catholiques
then
euer
,
as
who
must
expect
no
fauour
,
but
must
prepare
themselues
to
vndergo
the
sharpest
censure
,
and
animaduersion
of
the
Law
against
them
,
yea
whosoeuer
shall
be
found
abettors
,
maintainors
,
concealors
of
their
plots
or
harberours
of
their
persons
,
shall
suffer
for
the
same
in
like
manner
;
and
I
heare
say
,
that
there
is
a
Proclamation
eyther
comming
foorth
,
or
published
already
to
that
effect
,
and
how
they
are
to
depart

Realme
by
a
prefixed
day
.
But
what
(
quoth
Count
de
Monterey
)
will
then
become
of
them
,
or
by
whom
shall
they
be
entertained
?
will
they

quoth

proceeded
against
in
this

and
that
for
many
respects
.
First
,
by
reason
of
their
number
,
and
daily
increase
,
whereby
they
became
formidable
to
the
State
.
Secondly
,

Parliaments
,
in
a
word
,
they
were
our
onely
instruments
for
any
imployment
,
were
it
neuer
so
desperate
.
Thirdly
,
(
wherein
I
must
needes
say
,
they
were
to
blame
)
they
abused

,
they
should
haue

of

they
had
beene

For
example
,
vpon
Easter
monday
last
,
in

,
came
a
Iesuite
formally
attired
in

Primrose

the

to

faining
himselfe

hee

neither
knew
he
how
hee

they
seeing
him
in
such
a
case
,
would
haue
carried
him
into
another
roome
,
and
haue
layd
him
vpon
a

,
but
he
refused
it
,
and
hearing
by
chance
Mr.
Primrose
,
and
one
Mr.
White
conferre
in
Latine
together
,
he
suddainly
brake
out

you
not

attendeth

such

,
he
is
my
Brother
and
a
Catholique
,
whereat
Mr.
White
replied
I
pray
get
you
gone
,
I
care
for
no
such
company
,
where
vpon
he
would
haue
drawne
his
dagger
,
and
had
not
company
been
nigh
,
he
had
doubtlesse
slaine
him
;
and
no
sooner
was
hee
out
of
the
Chamber
,
but
he
returned
with
three
or
foure
more
of
his
friends
and

,
daring
him
to
come
forth
,
and
deeply
vowing
to
be
reuenged
vpon
him
,
and
the
rest

&c.
Fourthly
,
because

Yet
now
I
remember
at
my
departure
out

,
I
gaue
it
some
of
them
in
charge
,
to
get
what
they
could
,
of
whom
,
or
by
what
meanes
soeuer
,
because
I
foresaw
their
haruest
would
be
short
,
and
the
money
would
stand
vs
all
instead
,
for
indeede
the
greatest
part
was
at
my
deuotion
,
and
to
be
employed
as
I
saw
cause
.
And
this
stirred
vp
one
Gee
an
Apostate
Calvinist
to
publish
a
pestilent
and
a
malicious
against
the
Priests
and
Iesuites
,
residing
in
and
about
London
,
wherein
after
hee
hath
discouered
their
practises
,
he
setteth
downe
in
a
Catalogue
at
the
end
all
their
names
,
with
the
places
of
their
lodging
,
what
bookes
they
haue
at
any
time
published
,
with
the
names
of
Catholique
Doctors
of

,
and

,
to
their
no

disgrace
,
and
praeiudice
.
The
things

,
at
your
beeing
in

,
were
by
your
meanes
wont
to
be

punished
.
It
is
true
,
quoth
Gondomar
,
either
hanging
or
losse
of
the
Authors
cares
had
ensued
,
or
else
I
had
missed
of
my
ayme
;
but
the
case
is
now
altered
,
I
was
then
powerfull
,
and
in
grace
,
and
by
my
pollicy
effected
those
things
,
which
were
they
now
to
be
wrought
againe
,
would
require
the
labour
and
all
the

of
Hercules
.
But
my

quoth
the

,
what
newes
lately

in
what
state
stand
things
there

and
how
doth

at
this
turbulent

,
and
amidst
the
deepest
of

&
displeasure
against

Well
enough
(

and
the
better
if

to

some
directions

in

the
storme
should
fall
on

,
for
this
was
the
maine
end
of
our
meeting
.
Then
quoth
the
Duke
of
Medina
:
Signior
Gondomar
,
since
you
are
best
acquainted
with
the
state
and
affaires
of
England
,
giue
your
aduise
what
is
best
to
be
done
,
whither
to
haue
open
warre
with
them
,
to
wind
them
vp
still
with
new
pretences
and
ouertures
of
the
Match
,
or
to
entertaine
a
(

)
league
of
amity
and
vnity
,
and
the
Infanta
to
take
her
Fortune
else

For
the
first
,
(
quoth
Gondomar
)
I
vtterly
disallow
it
,
that
we
vpon
no
apparant
ground
,
and
Spaine
vnwilling
to
be
at
oddes
with
England
,
probable
reason
should
prouoake
so
potent
and
irreconcilable

Nation
,
who
are
content
to
let
vs
alone
,
so
that
they
may
enioy
their
peace
and
quiet
,
you
know
the
danger
of
awaking
a
sleepie
Lyon
,
but
hereof
by
the
way
,
I
will
tell
you
a
pretty
and
a
pleasant
accident
of
a
sleepie
dogge
,
that
happened
at
my
beeing
in
England
,
one

well
knowne
about

in

,
(
a

whereto
I
many

resorted
)
for

)
finding
his
Dogge

great
huge
Mastiue
lying
fast
a

A

my
Dogge

a

,
I
will
(
to
wake
him
)
go
hallow
in
his
eare
,
hee
no
sooner
began
to
hallow
,
but
the
Dogge
(
vsed
to
no
such
alarmes
)
leapes
vp
,
and
laying
his
forefeete
on
his
Maisters
shoulders
,
tares
him
downe
on
eyther
cheeke
from
the
eyes
,
almost
to
the
mouth
:
Let
vs
by
no

hallow
in

of
the

For

,
we

For

Kingdoms
in

Asia
,
or

,
Peru
is
the
prime
and
Soueraigne
,
being
aboue
any

in

,
most
abounding
in
gold
,
siluer
,
and

,
where
gold
,
and

is
not
as
in
other

,
only
with
great
labour
,
digged
and
sought
for
,
in
deepe
and
rockey
mines
,
but
here
Nature
hath
disperst
and
throwne
it
about
in
such
plenty
,
that
it
is
ordinarily
found
in
sands
by
the
sea
side
,
and
vpon
the
common
wayes
,
in
wells
,
lakes
,

,
among

,

The
like
successe
(
we
are
certainly
informed
)
they
had
but
this
other
day
(
replyed
the
D.
of
Cea

)
in
going
to
the
East-Indies
vnder
their
Admirall
Eremits
,
by
surprizing
the
strong
Castle
of
Delr●io
,
which
they

(

)
these
with
the
former
making
the
number
of
fifty
good
ships
,
and
for
certaine
it
is
reported
that
they
are
preparing
for
a
third
Nauie
to
follow
the
other
two
out
of
hand
.
I
thinke
(
quoth
L.
De
Velasco
)
the
Diuell
intends
to
giue
them
all
the
kingdomes
of
the
earth
.
But
replied
the
D.
of
Braganza
,
If
I
am
not
deceiued
,
Great
prepararation
of
the
Spaniards
against
the
Hollander
,
but
all
in
vaine
.
they
were
met
withall
by
the
way
,
and
fell
farre
short
of
their
reckoning
,
to
what
end
else
should
his
Maiestie
this
last
yeare
prepare
so
mighty
a
Fleete
,
both
in
Spaine
and
Portugall
,
sending
for
the
shipping
of
Dunkerke
,
Winoxbergen
and
Oostend
:
besides
many
merchant
Ships
arrested
and
stayed
of
England
,
France
,
Lub●●k
,
Hamborow
and
other
places
,
to
be
ioyned
with
his
Nauie
.
Or
what
effect
wrought
the
consultation
at
Madrid
,
and
the
dayly
posting
with
letters
from
thence
to
Bruxells
.
All
came
to
iust
nothing
,
quoth
the
D.
of
Sesa
:
for
euen
in
the
heate
and
threate
of
this
great
preparation
,
the
Hollanders
were
so
bold
as
to
set
vpon
a
goodly
Ship
of
ours
,
whose
lading
was
siluer
,
which
they
tooke
and
brought
safely
home
to
Horne
:
So
that
weighing
all
occurrences
rightly
,
we
shall
finde
it
no
time
to
thinke
of
an
offensiue
warre
with
England
,
for
which
we
are
not
in
case
,
yet
it
is
not
amisse
for
vs
to
pretend
like
Lyons
,
and
seeme
terrible
to
the
world
,
but
necessity
doth
admonish
,
notwithstanding
we
must
eeke
and
lengthen
out
our
hides
with
Foxes
tayle
.
Therefore
in
my
opinion
,
it
is
best
to
make
faire
weather
with
England
,
in
any
case
so
long
at
the
lest
,
till
we
haue
tried
the
vttermost
of
our
strength
against
Holland
,
which
I
hope
his
Catholicke
Maiesty
our
Maister
will
doe
this
Summer
,
and
as
I
am
informed
,
all
those
musters
and
taking
vp
of
men
which
we
heare
are
in
Naples
,
Sicilie
,
the
Dutchy
of
Millan
,
Spaine
,
Artois
,
Henalt
,
Luxemburge
and
other
places
,
are
to
that
end
.
For
the
doore
being
but
halfe
shut
we
had
yet
roome
to
enter
,
if
we
prolong
the
time
we
shall
be
so
bard
and
bolted
,
that
there
will
be
no
hope
of
entrance
at
all
,
except
(
quoth
Don
Lewes
of
Velasco
)
as
my
Lord
Duke
of
Sesa
saith
in
this
interstitium
or
twi-light
of
Treatie
,
or
suspence
betweene
Warre
and
Peace
,
we
take
to
our selues
some
notable
aduantage
,
and
followe
opportunity
close
at
the
heeles
,
we
are
like
howsoeuer
we
flatter
our selues
with
gitting
the
game
,
to
go
away
the
greatest
loosers
:
For
we
see
whatsoeuer
we
entend
the
Hollanders
are
still
in
action
,
dayly
getting
ground
of
vs.
Did
they
not
in
August
last
recouer
Mogodor
in
Aethiopia
from
vs
?
did
not
shortly
after
Graue
Ernest
take
Embden
(
which
Tillie
supposed
to
be
at
his
deuotion
)
bringing
in
to
the
defence
of
the
same
28.
peeces
of
Count
Mansfeilds
great
Ordinance
?
hath
not
the
Prince
of
Orenge
with
as
great
industry
and
care
as
Spinola
on
our
parts
(
presently
after
the
death
of
Obham
the
chiefe
Admirall
of
Holland
,
who
dyed
this
last
yeare
at
the
Hage
)
taken
view
of
all
the
forts
and
Townes
standing
along
the
Mase
Waell
and
the
Rheine
,
put
in
stronger
Garrisons
into
Rauenstein
&
Genn●p
,
and
after
all
this
,
made
vp
full
the
Armie
of
Brunswick
.
Moreouer
,
hath
he
not
strengthened
and
enabled
to
endure
the
longest
siege
Zutphen
,
Denenter
,
Swoll
,
with
the
rest
of
the
frontier
Townes
towards
Frizeland
,
the
passage
we
held
euer
to
be
our
easiest
and
readiest
for
the
subduing
of
the
Netherlands
?
Did
not
those
of
the
Garrison
of
Emmerick
surprise
and
take
Holden
,
a
well
fortified
Towne
hard
by
Dinxlaken
,
tooke
all
our
Spaniards
that
lay
there
in
garrison
,
and
brought
away
the
keyes
of
the
Towne
gate
with
them
.
On
the
other
side
,
if
we
attempt
any
thing
,
it
is
either
discouered
(
so
vigilant
are
the
States
)
ere
it
be
acted
,
or
faileth
in
the
manner
and
meanes
of
the
action
.
As
that
enterprise
of
ours
vpon
Isendike
(
notwithstanding
we
kept
the
gates
of
Antwerpe
shut
for
two
dayes
together
,
and
no
man
suffered
to
go
out
)
which
we
intended
vpon
the
sudden
to
surprise
with
our
scaling-ladders
,
yet
do
what
we
could
they
had
notice
of
our
intent
,
that
when
we
came
before
it
we
might
(
as
they
say
)
throw
our
caps
at
it
,
for
euer
winning
or
comming
within
it
.
And
the
like
attempts
(
to
no
purpose
)
we
made
this
last
winter
vpon
Bortagna
by
Groening
,
and
vpon
St.
Andres
Scorne
,
had
not
the
Prince
of
Orenge
,
thinke
we
,
knowledge
of
Count
Henry
Vandem
Berges
iourney
this
last
winter
into
Frizeland
?
yes
doubtlesse
,
as
the
euent
shewed
.
For
he
(
vpon
my
knowledge
)
was
secretly
informed
that
the
Spanish
Horsemen
had
caused
in
Antwerpe
and
other
places
all
their
horse-shoes
to
be
altered
,
and
as
many
new
to
be
made
as
would
suffice
for
sixe
or
eight
thousand
norse
all
calked
sharpe
and
frost-nayled
of
purpose
for
trauaile
ouer
the
Ice
,
whereby
hee
knew
(
as
hee
is
most
circumspect
and
prouident
)
that
some
enterprise
was
to
be
attempted
vpon
either
The
expedition
of
Count
Henry
Vanden-Berge
,
into
Freezeland
.
Holland
or
Frizeland
:
in
that
time
of
the
great
frost
,
all
Fennes
,
Riuers
,
and
Marishes
,
being
passible
by
reason
of
the
thicknes
of
the
Ice
(
for
it
froze
continually
)
therefore
he
doubled
the
garrisons
within
the
frontier
Towne
,
sent
certaine
troopes
of
horse
,
to
obserue
&
watch
the
most
suspected
places
for
passage
,
and
had
shippes
abroad
to
bring
him
tydinges
vpon
the
least
motion
or
occasion
.
Lastly
,
hee
sent
in
waggons
six
thousand
Skippers
and
Water-men
to
breake
Ice
in
the
most
common
and
likely
places
of
passage
,
in
the
Riuers
of
Rhine
,
Isell
,
the
Wael
,
and
about
the
ditches
of
Townes
,
Marishes
,
and
other
places
,
neither
did
his
Prognostication
faile
him
.
For
Count
Henry
Vandenberg
presently
after
our
consultation
at
Madrill
,
had
his
Commission
at
Brussels
for
eighteene
thousand
horse
and
foote
:
with
which
,
and
eleuen
peeces
of
Ordinance
,
and
a
great
multitude
of
Waggons
,
he
passed
by
Emmerick
,
in
exceeding
bitter
and
cold
weather
towards
Frizeland
,
but
turning
another
way
between
Duisburgh
&
Bronckhorst
(
a
Castle
belonging
vnto
the
Graue
of
Stirumen
which
he
tooke
and
spoyled
)
he
came
to
the
Isell
with
4.
peeces
of
Ordinance
,
wherof
one
(
the
Ice
breaking
)
sunke
,
the
rest
he
left
at
Bronckhorst
,
hauing
passed
the
Riuer
,
he
fortified
his
foote
at
Diterbusch
,
with
trees
he
filled
vp
the
River
.
The
Estates
beleeuing
hee
went
directly
for
Arnhem
,
they
sent
Marquet
with
troopes
of
horse
and
certaine
foote
Companies
,
but
Vandenberge
saluting
the
Towne
with
a
volley
of
small
shot
,
and
beside
,
making
a
shot
or
two
into
the
Towne
with
his
great
Ordinance
departed
,
I
heard
great
(
quoth
Pennatiore
)
outrages
were
by
him
committed
in
that
Iourney
,
wherein
he
spared
neither
Age
nor
Sexe
.
Crueltie
(
replied
Gonzales
)
is
naturall
and
inhaerent
to
our
Nation
,
for
except
our
victories
be
drowned
in
blood
,
we
cannot
tast
them
.
It
is
most
true
that
he
gaue
way
to
his
Souldiers
in
the
depth
and
greatest
bitternes
of
the
frost
and
snow
this
last
winter
,
to
turne
men
and
women
starke
naked
out
of
their
houses
,
to
shift
for
themselues
in
the
open
fieldes
,
to
rauish
yong
girles
not
aboue
eight
or
ten
yeares
of
age
,
wilfully
to
beate
out
the
heads
of
their
wine
and
beere
vessells
,
that
they
might
drinke
only
water
in
that
extremitie
of
cold
weather
,
that
many
infants
(
their
parents
flying
away
for
feare
)
at
their
returne
,
were
found
either
starued
for
food
,
or
frozen
to
death
with
the
cold
,
hauing
neither
fire
,
nor
clothing
.
What
(
quoth
Don
Pedro
)
slept
the
Prince
of
Orenge
all
this
while
?
or
was
no
manner
of
reueng
taken
by
the
Dutch
?
Yes
,
it
seemed
so
(
quoth
Velasco
,
)
for
the
most
part
of
our
Spanish
souldiers
were
cut
off
,
in
their
marching
away
and
retreat
,
by
the
Garrisons
of
Duisburgh
,
Arnhem
,
Daventrie
,
Campen
,
and
Zutphen
,
beside
great
numbers
who
perished
with
extremitie
of
cold
,
some
hauing
their
noses
,
some
their
hands
frozen
and
rotted
off
,
beside
those
that
were
starued
for
want
of
bread
,
so
that
wee
cannot
boast
of
this
voyage
,
wee
staying
in
the
Velue
but
seuen
dayes
,
which
a
Spaniard
had
not
seene
in
aboue
thirtie
yeares
before
.
All
this
discourse
(
quoth
Count
Gondomar
)
had
on
all
sides
,
I
see
tendeth
to
no
other
end
,
then
to
intimate
our
disabilitie
and
disproportion
of
strength
,
if
wee
should
vndertake
a
present
warre
against
the
Netherlands
,
without
either
making
our selues
Masters
of
great
Brittaine
,
a
thing
which
his
Maiesties
Predecessors
for
these
hundred
years
haue
aimed
at
(
and
we
may
truely
say
and
beleeue
is
a
matter
impossible
)
or
by
faire
meanes
entreat
them

to
bee
but
onely
Spectators
,
while
wee
wrestle
for
the
remnant
of
our
right
in
the
Low
Countries
,
wherefore
at
the

,
to
end

I
haue
(
with
Aduise

drawne
together
certaine
Heads

Conclusions
,

submit
to

Religion
,
and
timely
to
enable
either

Seminaries

houses

Treasuries
with
money
,
and
we
with
friends
and
instruments
at
all
occasions
.
Concerning
these
two
last
Propositions
,
for
a
conclusion
I
will
produce
a
Letter
vnto
me
subscribed
with
the
hande
of
many
of
the
chiefe
among
them
,
(
whose
pourtraitures
with
their
names
yee
haue
here
inserted
)
of
the
manner
of
their
proceedings
,
and
that
you
may
know
they
spend
not
their
time
in
vaine
in
England
.
For
I
must
my
LL
:
tell
you
I
hold
intelligence
with
the
wisest
and
best
learned
among
them
,
and
where
ever
they
are
transeo
per
medium
illorum
.
Therefore
I
thought
it
not
amisse
by
a
draught
to
let
you
see
them
in
their
Consultation
,
as
they
were
wont
to
sit
at
the
house
of
one
L.
a
Goldsmith
in
Fetter-lane
by
Holborne
L
:
a
Goldsmith
;
and
one
that
furthereth
the
Printing
of
Popish
books
.
in
London
,
this
L.
hath
for
many
yeares
closely
kept
a
Printing
house
,
to
the
great
furtherance
and
increase
of
the
Catholique
Religion
in
that
Land
,
for
by
his
meanes
thousands
&
thousands
of
good
Books
haue
beene
dispersed
over
the
Land
,
which
,
albeit
they
are
sold
at
an
excessiue
rate
,
and
he
hath
beene
a
great
gainer
by
them
,
yet
are
they
printed
and
reprinted
againe
,
and
much
money
gotten
by
them
though
vttered
at
a
third
hand
;
but
I
will
reade
the
Letter
,
it
is
not
long
:
your
Honors
therefore
daigne
it
the
hearing
.
Illustrious

excellent

it
is
now
(

a

we
in
England
here
,
are
like
shortly
to
groane
vnder
the
heavie
and
vnsupportable
burthen
of
persecution
,
but
we
shall
(
I
hope
)
the
better
endure
it
,
so
long
as
our
cause
is
warranted
▪
and
our
constancy
assisted
and
increased
by
the
prayers
&
supplications
of

Catholique
Harvest
,
and
recover
,
(
with
wonderfull
successe
thousands
of
soules
from
the
Abysse
of
Perdition
into
the
bosome
of
the
Church
,
the
onely
difficultie
is
in
concealing
our selues
and
intendments
,
from
that

headded
Monster

Wee

openly
and
haue
our
time
allotted

period
of

If

make

of

Haue

.
Many

From
Sevill
this
6.
of
May
.
Count
Gondomar
having
made
an
end
,
they
all
with
one
voyce
applauded
and
highly
commended
his
directions
and
counsell
,
not
onely
for
his
particular
Letter
,
but
for
the
wise
carriage
of
himselfe
heretofore
in
many
and
weightie
affayres
that
concerned
the
Catholique
Religion
,
the
honor
of
his
Maiestie
,
and
the
generall
good
of
the
Estate
.
Esteeming
him
worthily
honored
with
the
title
of
a
Grande
at
home
in
Spaine
,
and
of
his
Masters
Ambassadour
abroad
,
having
effected
more
by
his
wit
and
policy
,
then
could
haue
beene
wrought
by
the
strength
of
many
Armies
.
And
now
when
they
were
come
almost
to
a
period
,
and
full
conclusion
of
their
Consultation
for
that
time
,
there
came
a
Messenger
in
post
,
who
brought
letters
from
the
King
to
Count
Olivares
his
favorite
,
to
call
him
to
the
Court
vpon
some
speciall
imployment
,
what
it
was
,
could
not
bee
certainely
knowne
,
but
as
I
heard
,
some
complaint
was
lately
come
out
of
England
,
against
the
Ambassadors
resident
there
;
&
moreouer
that
a
great
fight
had
beene
lately
betweene
nine
great
Spanish
ships
,
&
5.
men
(
or
ships
)
of
warre
of
Horne
and
Enchuisen
in
Holland
,
wherein
,
the
report
went
,
the
Hollanders
had
taken
two
,
and
sunke
one
,
whereupon
,
they
all
arose
vp
together
in
a
great
confusion
,
euery
one
hasting
to
his
horse
which
stood
ready
in
a
faire
base
Court
without
,
they
tooke
their
way
,
