A00734	The Spaniards monarchie, and Leaguers olygarchie. Layd open in an aduerisement [sic], written by Signor Vasco Figueiro a gentleman of Portingale to the rebellious French: wherein is discouered the tyrannie of the one ouer the kingdome of Portingale, and the treacherous rebellion of the other in the kingdome of France, with a patheticall persuasion to the French to returne to the obedience of their naturall and legitimate king.

Sacra fames Where is the time that the kings of France and their Magistrates yea all good Christians had in such indignation those which dared to take either rewards or pensions of forraine Princes that if any were noted with this crime he was sure without either grace or remission ignominiously to loose his life for this iustice hath bene one of the firmest pillers which haue so manie ages sustained the excellencie of this Monarchy But sithence that kings and their officers haue neglected this vertuous obseruation it may easily be perceiued how the state of their Monarchie hath bene more and more shaken All other kings princes obserue inuiolably this maxime he which infringeth it is punished according to the rigor of the law for vnder shadow of these liberalities strangers take knowledge of the estate of the realme and so seduce the subiects And in this manner Cambyses espied deceiued the Ethiopians Now the preachers by meanes of their mercenarie tongues forget no art that may serue their purpose to suborne France but vse all meanes possible to make the king odious vnto her in altering by little and little by their flattering discourses the sincere amitie and faithfull loyaltie which she hath alwayes held entirely towards him either exalting euerie pettie imperfecti●● aboue his great perfection either in blaming accusing or attributing vnto another the glorie onely due vnto him and contrariwise in all things magnifying the greatnes and vertues of this amorous Spaniard whom they paint out accomplished with all the perfections that may be imagined Briefely they omit nothing wherby they may substract France from her king who séeing vnderstanding and knowing all the practises that were managed against him notwithstanding flattereth himself or rather is so bewitched by this League that he will neither beléeue nor chastise y e opprobrious iniuries which were publikely attached against him yea euen oftentimes to his face so much as it séemed did he feare to displease or offend her which gaue such audaciousnes and courage to these naughtie packes that no man was accounted of vnlesse he ranged himselfe with the League to vomite out a world of iniuries against the authoritie of the king and he which could gorge out most whether in preaching or writing was accounted the most honest man yea euen those who are his owne creatures and fedde at his table are not ashamed to set themselues against him and rent his renowne by all manner of iniuries slanders As namely one called Roze bishop of Senlis the true portrature of ingratitude who among manie other iniuries vttered one worthily meriting a corporall punishment yet this good prince was content onely for his chastisement to banish him the court Likewise an Aduocat of Paris named Breton was so impudent as to publish to the world a book against him repleate with mischieuous calumniations notwithstanding it was euē against his will that iustice was executed vpon him But for these holy preachers did they approue this act of iustice nothing lesse but rather reprooued it as a tyrannicall act so that one of them named Boucher was so shameles as to preach that the cord wherwith the Aduocat Breton was strangled was a thousand times more honorable then the scarlet robe of the president which condemned him I cannot here forget a certain Parisian instructed and prompted by Madame de Mompensier who faigning himselfe mad entered y e Louure vttering a thousand detestable words against the person of the king yet for his knauerie he was but simplie whipped in one of the o●●…ces of that place Behold how this prince brooketh these iniuries which were disgorged and that impudently against him and his authoritie Behold how careful he is to extinguish the fire which kindleth to borne him and the estate of his realme so that well may it be said of him Malum est quidem habere imperatorem sub quo nemini licet quicquam facere sed multo peius est quando omnia licent omnibus The League hauing now had a long time to practise vpon France ouer whom she had alreadie gotten this aduantage that it easily gaue her credite in whatsoeuer aduised with her selfe that it was now high time to let them which had set her a work sée some better fruits of her trauell So that leauing off words such like matters she will now venter vpon practise wherein the dice chanced so well that her enterprise fortuned euen to her wish And this was when she called the Duke of Guise with his other partakers into the citie of Paris against the will of the king who as well for the more assurance of his person as to ferret out certaine mischeiuous naughtipackes lurking priuily in the said citie which put in feare the good seruants of the king whom the League termed by the name of Polliticks placed the guards of his body in certain places of the citty but the League caused him soone to know that shée had so throughly altered the will of the people that they were farre more affectioned to the said Guysard then to him himselfe which he then perceiued when it was too late to remedy Thus within lesse then thrée or foure houres the Parisians were so animated against the kings guard by the instigation of the Duke of Guise as himself vaunted and braued in certaine letters directed to the nobility of France that they killed hurt diuers of them yea y e king himselfe was scarsely spared for the Barricados were planted within the gate of his Louure in such sort that he thought his stay would be far more perillous then his departure This is that infortunate day which y e preachers haue extolled as the most fortunate day which happened of a thousand yeares in France and which they themselues in open sermon baptised by the name of Barricados as in truth it hath beene very aduantagious for the master whom they serue The king hauing receiued this indignitie of his France in y e capitall cittie of his realme and in the sight of all the Princes in Christendome who were there resident in the person of their Ambassadours or Agents did he shew himselfe to be mooued or angrie not at all but as if he had too much let loose the bridle of his malignant affections fearing a worse euent he is content to put vp the wrong and to accuse himselfe So seeking to reconcile himselfe with her he made it knowne that he would assemble the estates of his realme by whose aduise and counsell he would hereafter rule all his actions and that he might shew some confirmation of his will he casheard in one morning about 33. of his Edicts At the first bruit of this declaration the League séemed somwhat male content fearing that if Fraunce being admonished and reprooued by her king should haue any remorse of conscience for her fault shée would returne to her former duety yet considering that she had so practised her nearest counsailors that they would speake
