Frenchmen who standing not vpon th●ir number but vpon their valour in a pitcht field ouerthrew him and all his armie consisting of 8000. men and 10. canons and pursued him euen to S. Denis shall one of these dayes send to offer him his seruice desiring pardon for his former faultes and craue to be reconciled with his high and mightie cosin Lieutenant generall to this great king the Monarcke of Spaine France and Italie Oh miserable Leaguers into what frensie are ye entred when ye thinke with your goodly figures of Rhetoricke to perswade those who in one moneth doe heare more Masses then you do in a yeare who vnder the kings auctoritie next to the Princes of his bloud are the very pillers of the state and of our Religion to perswade them I say that they all are heretickes and that none but you onely who are conspired with these new Christiās as yet for the most part in hart Iewes and Sarazins are true Catholiques to the end y t therfore they may yeeld themselues bound into your hāds so that without labour ye may in short time roote out all these great and noble houses all these families fatal for expulsion of strangers out of France No no if your Spanish remembrances import no other matter I do well see that this ould dotard is at an end with all his sleights sith y t to subdue France to him selfe he craueth the helpe of the French Gentlemē who altogither vnder one selfe banner seamed of Flower de Luces haue so often chased his Spanish troupes and who as brethren of one belly crowned with like garlands atchieued in so many battailes shall

because that by his meanes they returned into their coūtrey and recouered their goods their wiues their childrē The ioy of so many good Frēchmē who shall reenter into Paris will be no lesse and y e
