Against their willes of perill or too farre And how could France dilacerate her State Empty her Treasure at so great a rate Send Forces to a Forraine Prince and leaue Her Natiue children This were to bereaue Them of their dearest Liues For why at home Mischiefe enough in euery Towne did rome Besides vnto Bohemias King there is So great Allyance if I doe not misse That neuer Prince in any Age had more Nor could Catalogue such a Role before Great Brittaine by his Daughter calls him Sonne Denmarke and Norway on his side are wonne The one an Vnckle as is Brunswicke knowne The other as a Friend with Sweden growne The Prince of Orenge is so neere in Blood That I am sure hee 'le doe him any good His other Kindred come from Brandenburgh With many a Count and Duke of Wittenburgh I name not Bolloigne nor Confederates With many Princes in their best estates Nor doe I twenty Prouinces recite With all their Lords of full sufficient might Who are his owne so that if Reason yield They must be drawne into the bloody Field As for the third the matter that doth driue The Mill doth drowne it For if you contriue The Argument from former charitie Or Lawes of Nations louing amitie To ayde distressed Princes then hath France Farre lesse to doe the Austrians to aduance Then help the Palatine For who knowes not When they had newes of both our Henries got And of their murthers they did laugh out right As if they meant remonstrance of despight And when Duke Neuers to Mathias went They with a scornfull Answer home him sent Bidding yong Lewis looke himselfe about him And no way meddle with the thinges without him For why the Message had relation Vnto the concord of each Nation As for the Palatine he friendly stood And with great sommes of Money did them good Therfore if that the succourlesse haue aide To help Bohemia they are well appaide The fourth did no way fasten well together For Treason or reuolts euen choose you whether Were different in States Electiue and Such as by Claime of Heritance did stand Nor was the Austrian house enfeoft so sure Vnto the Empire but it might endure Fraction of nombers As for President They haue example of great consequent First France the Westerne Monarchy possest How e're the Germans could it not digest Then they contriu'd a strong Election Conditionall in the reiection Nor is it Newes an Emperour to haue From other German Princes layde in Graue And so hath Hungar and Bohemia Had Kings at once though not of Austria And therefore this had poorest Inference As hauing to that Crowne a reference So that to name Reuolts in such a case Vpon the scanning would the cause Disgrace As for an Interceding which they bring That Ferdinand was chosen once their King Compulsion they doe Answer is no Lawe And then the Faction kept them all in awe So that it was not orderly contriu'd But soone Reuersde by such as now suruiu'd The last was weakest of them all The Turke Would by this meanes all Europe set on worke Nay saide the Bolloigne Duke if it bee so There is no sence against the King to goe For then the Warres must needs protracted bee And greater troubles wee shall dayly see The onely way our strength for to Increase Is for the Emperor to aske a Peace And with the King of Boheme to Combine A League of amitie or else resigne As from the First vnto Election Of the Seauen Princes whose connection May well if all State matters so dispose As perfect Friends be made of greatest Foes Thus writ the Duke and sauour how it list How er'e your Holines may thinke he mist As not acquainting Rome with these euents Yet wrought it to the People great contents Romano Rather then thus euen I my selfe will goe To Turke and Tartars for their farther woe What shall our Father and the Church submit To Traiterous Heretickes Wee 'l none of it But raise vp Strangers to defend our cause To vnderstand our Canons and our Lawes To breake the necke of contumacious pride And whip these drunken Scismaticks beside And if the Goths were cal'd The Scourge of God Wee 'l bruise them with a Mahumetan Rod. Dominick Come this is frency and no policy No Zeale religion nor morallity Because a finger akes we therefore cut The whole hand off and so still foolish put The body vnto cauterising paine As hauing greater cause still to complaine For thus haue Kingdomes lost their siberty And subiect bene vnto captiuity Britaine for succour sundry Nations cal'd VVho in their seueral times their freedomes thral'd The barb'rous Irish went for Dermonds Rape To Englands King and so they did not scape The Grecian Empire called Strangers in VVho presently did all their Countries win Yea Spayne hath felt the like when Iulian Count In recconing vp disgraces did surmount In his reuenge about his Daughters crosse When by the Mores it had so great a losse And this will be the end of Turkish aide Nay in my soule I further am affraide That Rome shall feele their tyranny farre worsse Then any Warre or Hereticks foule cursse Pope Yet somthing must be done shall we giue way To all these Treasons and not once assay To adde a Cataplasme vnto this wound Which will the body of the Church confound Shall we let Ferdinand be thus abused And Spayne dispis'd when Austria is refused No sure if God help not the Deuill must If euer man or skill or Arte did trust Dominicke O say not so your Holines may take A calmer course and all extreames forsake Dismisse the bloudy Iesaits from hence With all strange Projects doe your selfe dispence Abstaine from murthers cruelties and rage Doe not the Church exotickly engage But send abroad some holy Priests of Name Who may with quietnes discourse their blame Dispute with reason and religious care Teach them of foule Damnation to beware Plead out for Conscience and true loue of God Who else will whip them with a scourging Rod Vrge their obedience vnto Kings of worth Whose Gouernment such proffit bringeth forth Of Peace and Plenty that what e're befall They doe Religious Zeale professe in all O 't is a comfort When that men be wrought By gentlenes to God and so are taught To yeeld by Loue and not for slauish feare Which makes but temporising and doth beare Two faces in one hood Therefore deare Sir Be rul'd by mee and worke no further stirre Pope Come Pasquill I will talke with thee For these Doe not my humour nor my fancy please What Councell dost thou giue what shall be donne To worke the good of this Imperiall Sonne Pasquill Who I of all the world you wrong me more To aske Aduise of me Why I haue store Of stranger Newes I must proclaime a troth Which Vncompeld I would bee very loth I am to tell you Wonders Prodegies Inuectiues Satyres Rimes and prophesies There 's not a Worde of mine but
a League combine That traytorlike haue Crowned him a King Against his Soueraigne and Encomions sing For many good successes as they thriue In warlike Stratagems and doe contriue To raise more Forces send abroad to Friends Proposing stranger thinges for stranger ends Bohemia has a Prince borne in the Towne The Warres preuaile their Foes are beaten downe Our Ferdinand doth Droope Vienna standes As in a maze folding their Armes and handes The people throng in heapes and flocke a pace In euery Towne to hearken our Disgrace Bucquoy is beaten and Dampire is fled the Polish Cossacks they are slaine and Dead The Troopes are ouercome and in the Field Two thousand lost Foure hundred they did yeeld Anholt and Mansfuld had a glorious Day Besides reuolters who still runne away And leaue their Prince to serue a Strangers turne Oh that consuming Fier might them burne But heer 's not all for now to Vexe vs more Then either they or Wee thought of before They looke for Ayde from Brittaine Horse and Foote With vnbeleeued Sommes of Golde to boote Which London Heretickes of their free Guift For to disburse with Largenes haue made shift Nay when they heare Religion is the Cause They flocke amaine without or stop or pause But when they talke of Romes great ouerthrow They clap their handes for Ioy and so doe show Their Hate to Vs wishing no other Warre Nor recompence for all their Coyne Thus farre These heauy headed Dutch haue wrought their ends And doe increase as wee decay in Friends Caesario Then I perceiue it needes must end with blowes And if successe attend Our Lady knowes To what a mountaine of foule Prodegies Their Pride may rise to with their Victories But are you sure the Emperor hath sent For succour into Spaine as it was ment Rather to breake off Peace Leagues with all Then see the Austrian Diadem to fall And this me thinkes your Holinesse might moue By speciall Embassy and so reproue Their great retardance which hath giuen them leaue Refractary to growe as I conceiue Dominicke Then you conceiue amisse nor are you wise To make your Passion author of aduise Greatest Designes attend on Circumstance And sauerie Pollicie must them Aduance For if hee start from England as it stands Or breake the League with Hollands Netherlands How can Hee all these turnes supply together Or keepe his Nauy safe from raging weather Whereas to temporise and to renue A stronger League by Peace this may ensue That all those Forces which hee well can spare With so much Treasure as his Princely care May husband for this purpose shall be sent Vnto th' Imperiall Townes incontinent Then with some more Security they may From Naples Millaine Sicell March away Those trayned Garisons filling their roomes With other Spaniards and new come Groomes Yet take you heede this can but once bee done And that 's well ended which is well begun But marke their Passages so hard to finde As Swisse and Grisons proue to them vnkinde For if your Holines wish for a Brother No way but this You cannot name another From Millaine to Vienna must they goe Ouer fiue Mountaines full of Ice and Snowe And in the Summer which is strange to tell It is not for their Marches halfe so well Yet in extreames there is no remedy Patience beares out the greatest extacy Well let them goe health and good Spirits guide them And all the Saincts of Heauen goe beside them For I am sure whether they March or Troope The third man in the Trauaile needs must Droope Burghesius Then holy Sir your Legate send to France Who cannot but this Cause as much Aduance Or rather more For France is eldest Sonne Vnto our Rome and should with ease bee wonne Dominick Are you a Conclauist and know no more Of France her State you might haue heard before That Condyes Prince and others of esteeme Would with their bloods Religion redeeme And stand ' gainst all Edicts vpon their Guard Hoping at last to haue a good award Yet for all this hath Ferdinando Writ How euer Bolloigne did mislike of it That some Commaunder might him Forces bring With loue and liking of the youthfull King Nor did hee thus as barely without charge But in good Tearmes declare his minde at Large Most Noble Prince remember Charles the Great Supported Rome and got th' Imperiall Seate As of the Church only Protector cal'd Which was by Gothes and Saraceus enthral'd And thereupon is France the eldest Sonne And for true valour hath such honour wonne Then be not now to Catholicks vnkinde But let vs your Reliefe as Princely finde A second Inference he had from Blood Which seem'd amongst the Statists neer as good The Emperour was Vncle to the Queene As may within the Records well be seene This he enforst from bond of Amitie Arising out of Consanguinitie A third was Morall from protection Of other Princes in rejection Oh for to help distressed is a glory As you may read in many an ancient Story The fourth had ground vpon good Policie Of iust reuenge to scourge iniquitie Reuolts I meane and disobedience To lawfull Kings from a strong inference Of Treason in their soule enormous Crimes As hath appeared in all moderne Times The fift was taken from a Holy feare Least that the Turke might of these troubles heare And so the youth of Othoman awake Aduantages of our Distresse to take And then no doubt they might repent too late That e're they durst the Austrian house amate Burghesius And was not this well Vrg'd nay was it not A president for Princes to haue got Of excitation ' gainst so great a Foe That sure will worke more mischiefe and more woe If Poland heard of this or Russis If Denmarke Pomeran and Persia If Triple Crowned Brittaine knew it sure Hee would the same as forcible endure If Venice Sauoy Florence and the rest Were taught this Lesson they would count it best Yea eu'n the Cantons and the Snowy Vales Could not repute it as some olde wiues Tales But for the Good of Christian Nations The League make strong by Combinations Dominick I doe confesse it hath some outward show Of a preualent Reason But on to goe The dogged Duke of Bolloigne as I heare To Burbon and the rest a Dangerous Peere Hath answerd all Retorting Argument To Austria thus of greater Consequent Touching the First Religion is no Plea Nor Ferdinand did so affect our Sea But eu'n the Catholicks of best esteeme Were still enforst their Freedomes to redeeme Affrighted were with Cruelties and Pride Of Austrias house extended on each side Found Great Mathias sterne this man too heady Vnconstant Cruell and in Truth vnsteady And now they liue vnder this Nouelist More quiet farre as doing what they list The second with like reason Answer had The greatest Monarchies though ne'r so bad Were Fathers of their Kingdomes and to looke Vnto their Subjects Peace which they forsooke As Tyrants if they brought them to a Warre
