Buckingham himselfe the chiefe of her kindred was but a novice in Nobility his father obscure amongst Gentlemen his mother a Serving-woman and he being infamous for his frequent consultation with the Ring-leader of Witches principally that false Doctor Lamb publickly condemned for witch-craft whereby the Marquesse knowing that the King was so farre bewitched to Buckingham thrt if he refused the match demanded he should find the kings deadly hatred agains him And seeing that Buckinghams Niece was not yet Nubile in yeares and that before the marriage should be consirmed a way might be found out to annull it unto which he was forced by deceitfull importunity therefore he yeelded unto the King desire of the match whereupon Buckingham and his faction fearing that delayes would bring lets urged my Lord Marquesse to send for his sonne upon a Sunday morning be times in all haste from London to Court at Greenwich where never a word was spoken of marriage to the young Lord till a little before Supper and the marriage mad● before the King after Supper And to make it more authenticke Buckingham cause his Neece to be lard in bed with the Marquesse his sonne for a short time in the King Chamber and in his Majesties presence albeit the Bride was yet innubile Many wer● astonisht at the sudden newes thereof all the Marquesse his friends fretting thereat an some writing unto him very scornfull letters for the same The Marquesse having satisfied the Kings demands did what hee could to preve●● the confirmation of the marriage and intended to send his sonne beyond the seas travell through France and so to passe his time a broad untill that meanes were fou● to unty that knot which Buckingham had urged the King to tie upon his sonne But Bucking ham to countermand the Marquesse his designe causes the King and Prince to make the Marquesse his sonne to be sworne Gent to the Princes Bed-chamber and so to be detained with him within the Kingdome untill that the Bride was at yeares ripe for marriage The time expired that Buckinghams neece became marriageable Buckingham sent to the Marques to desire him to make the mariage to be cōpleatly confirmed The marquesse not willing to heare of any such matter answered briefely he scorned the motion This answer reported to Buckingham and seeing himselfe like to be frust ated of his ambitious matching of his neece and perceiving that the Lord Marquesse was able to raise a great faction against him whether King Iames did live or die was mightily incensed against the Marquesse At the first incounter with him did challange him for speaking disdainfully of him and his house The Marquesse replyed he did not remember any offensive words uttered by himselfe against Buckingham Buckingham then proudly said unto him out of the words of thy mouth I will judge thee for you have said you scorne the motion of matching with my house which I made unto you The marquesse answered that if he had said so it became not the Duke to speake unto him in that fashion So Buckingham threatned to be revenged The Marquesse uttered his defiance and thus the quarrell began which foure or five times was reiterated and as often reconciled by Marquesse de Fietta alittle before the Marquesse of Hamelton fell sick wherein it is very evident that the quarrel hath beene very violent that needed so many reconciliations The Dukes fire of his anger being unextinguishable as K.
