That by indirect meanes he had sought for and procured letters from the King of England which he himselfe had first drawne and corrected and then sent them ouer to the Ambassador tending to the furthering of his owne designes which he himselfe deliuered to the generall States but made them not acquainted in what manner he had procured them writing to the said Ambassador that he should not by any means make the Ambassadors at that time in England for the generall States acquainted therewith 8. That for the better furtherance of his designes and pretences by the said Ambassadors meanes he sought to procure the like letters againe from the King of England which when he could not get he did not sticke to presume to tax the said King with being the cause of the troubles that were then risen in the vnited Prouinces 9 That to procure the more and greater trouble in religion hee had placed and brought into the Churches diuers hereticall Diuines and Teachers and in the mannageing of the State had put in such men as he thought to be fit instruments for the effecting and furtherance of his faction 10 That he likewise had brought to passe that his said creatures and instruments at diuers and seuerall times and sundry places contrary to all good order of gouernment had holden diuers conuenticles and secret assemblies where by him and his complices it was determined how they might proceed in their bad pretence and to the end the same might be authorized vnder the names of the States of Holland and West-Freisland he had so plotted that by multitude of voices contrary to the will and desire of some of the chiefest members of Holland they might resolue vpon that which they desired and intended and yet he himselfe confesseth that such priuate assemblies are not to be permitted in a well-gouerned Common-wealth 11 That he did not seeke to hinder the rigorous commissions in some places sent forth against the true professors of religion whereby they were vpon strict penalties forbidden the exercise of the true religion making them hatefull in all places both within and without the Land by the names of strangers and Puritans who there Flanderising caused the subiects to contend with their Gouernors Notwithstanding that all the vnited Prouinces together by many and sundry treaties agreements and resolutions whereof he himselfe as one of the States had beene the author and inuentor had promised and bound themselues one vnto another with body life and goods to maintaine preserue and vphold the reformed euangelicall religion receiued and preached in euery place of those Countries without any alteration thereof whatsoeuer And that for confirmation thereof in Anno 1588. the oathes of all the Gouernors Generals Captaines and souldiers in one point specially mentioned the same which was that they should sweare to bee true and faithfull to the generall States who by the vnitie and faithfull combination of promise should vphold and maintaine the true reformed religion and that in all the treaties and compositions made with such townes as they either won or that yeelded themselues to them one speciall Article was that they should yeeld to the preaching of the aforesaid religion which by all their adherents and allies had beene receiued allowed of and accepted 12 That he esteeming all this not to be sufficient to effect his bad and erroneous designes sought by the meanes of his complices and adherents to perturbe and trouble the politique State deuising to inuent and finde the meanes to reduce and bring the gouernment thereof into disorder and confusion by meanes thereof the better to effect his mischieuous pretence against the securitie and prosperitie of the same 13 That to the same end and for a foundation of his faction vnder diuers speciall pretences hee had kindled the fire of dissention and procured all manner of distrusts betweene the Prouinces and making himselfe head of the faction had caused the Deputies of eight townes in Holland to hold diuers secret assemblies vpon certaine points by them agreed vpon to preuent the rest of the townes and so by pluralitie of voices hauing formerly complotted together in the assemblie of the States of Holland to bring them in and to make such resolutions thereupon as they had formerly determined In which priuate assemblies the Deputies of the said eight townes among other things first complotted and agreed vpon diuers points which at seuerall times were by them debated and concluded to bring to effect 14 That he himselfe had therein inserted the sharpe and seuere resolution made the 18. of August 1617. and against the wills and consents of diuers chiefe members of the said assemblie caused the same to be ratified and confirmed By which resolution the prohibitions of ordinary Iustice made against their pretences were declared and pronounced to be void and of none effect and the Magistrates of the townes warranted not to obey the same and such as were thereunto incited and consenting authorised and allowed of their owne authorities for their defences to raise new companies of souldiers and to giue them another oath contrarie to their oath of allegeance made to the States Generall by the which also all Officers Iustices and those that were by oath bound vnto the particular Prouinces of Holland and West-Freisland were sworne to maintaine and further the said resolution And further ordained that all Generals Captaines and souldiers of the ordinary companies should earnestly be charged and commanded vpon paine of losing of their places to be obedient to the States their pay-masters and the Magistrates of the townes where they lay in garrison notwithstanding any other prohibition or commandement made to the contrary whereby it followed that diuers townes in Holland whereof some before that by his aduice and counsell had begunne to take vp souldiers vpon the same resolution and his secret instigation that they should looke vnto themselues and their securities began to raise a great number of souldiers giuing them a particular oath as aforesaid with speciall charge to be obedient only to their commandements against all men whatsoeuer and particularly against the generalitie and his Excellencie in such cases wherein the said townes so strengthning themselues with new souldiers should iudge and vnderstand the proceedings of the said generalitie and his Excellencie to tend vnto the ouerthrow of their particular rights and priuiledges 15 That he by force of the said resolution was a meanes to procure Commissioners to be sent vnto the Brill who without the knowledge of his Excellencie being State-holder and Captaine generall going thither caused the ordinary garrisons therein to take their oathes in manner aforesaid and such as would not were threatned to bee cashierd 16 That he within few dayes after the said resolution was made went to Vtrecht and counselled some of the States there likewise to raise new companies of souldiers contrary to the accustomed manner and the common oath of the generalitie and his Excellencie as Captaine generall which they
