Instit ca. 1.

Ambrose saith Let no man be restrained lest while we forbid him a thing lawfull he falleth to vnlawfull They do it because in Euseb they find that Euseb li. 3. cap. 27. S.

not therfore that as occasions haue fallen out they haue not enterprised against Fraunce What Prince what greatnes haue they not endeuored to vndermine The king himselfe of whose secrets they haue

witnesse a Iesuite of Pont à-Mousson in Lorraine called father Claude Mathew who neuer did good but in weening to doo euill confect in wickednes one of those sacred persons spoken of at Rome in this Tribunary law He shall not bee accounted a Lex 12. tabul manslear who by the decree of the people shall haue killed a hallowed man Witnesse I say this reuerend this sparke of sedition this spirit of Sathan who in two or three of his voyages into Italy Spayne hath in●ited the Pope king Philip and the Sauoyan to the destruction of France and withall you Frenchmen to the ende to vse you as vipers against our common mother to make you bath your selues in your owne bloud to change your curtesie into crueltie your fidelitie into disloyaltie to be briefe of the faire face of Fraunce to make a horrible and fearefull spectacle of death to conuert her body into a graue her townes into churchyards her castles into broken walles her fieldes into butcheries her trees into gibets her riuers into bloud her life into pitifull horrible and fearefull death to such purposes I say so furious tragicall and bloody do they loud and shrill sound out that they proceed out of the stocke of Charlemaine and that euer since Lothair our kings haue their tables couered through the vniust vsurpation of Capet with the expence of their race the lawful inheritour of this crowne Here doo I desire all good Frenchmen to marke one practise of Tarquine the proud who determining to rob Seruius Tullius of the kingdome of Rome began by bewitching the people with the discourse of his race and by repeating to them how that after the death of king Tarquine his father wofully murdered Seruius had ouerthwartly practised the soueraigntie so that the fathers lulled on sleepe with his faire words the youth snared with the presents wherewith he laid a bridge to to his purposes he so far slacked the bridle of his ambition accompanied with rashnes that in full senate seizing vpon Seruius by the body he caried him out of the chamber cast him downe the staires A tragicall pitifull example such a one as might stand Fraunce in stead for a morning wake now that it is thus baied at with tempests on euery side but particularly the king whose greatnes with like tooles as that wherewith Seruius was ouerthrowne they now vndermine And king Clouys vnderstanding that a Lord of Artoys named Cannacare puffed vp with wealth gaue out that he came of Clodio the hairy so was lawfull heire of the crowne being not only quicke of hearing but also ielous of his greatnes caused that sower of lies al his progeny to be rooted out In the meane time least the people being ticklish itching at euery new deuise should suffer themselues to be led away with the perswasions of these abusers I would demaund of you Lorraines what is the groūd of your pretēded right you say that Hugh Capet by force carried away the crowne from Charles of Lorraine vnckle to Lewis the 5. in whō the race of Charlemain ended that you are come of the stocke of Charles If it were so why did you lately make the card of Burbō your banner as he that was fittest to succeed in this realme was it not to shew that you could not agree but in contrarieties or rather to imitate the wren who hearing that the birds made a match who shuld be first in heauē hid himself vnder the eagles wing frō whence he crept out in so good time that he gat the title of king you say that Charles of Lorraine had but one sonne named Ottho and that this Ottho had but a daughter We haue inough of this one distaffe to beat you withall wee I say who are freed from the womens gouernment who stoppe not vnder the empire of women through the benefite of the Salike lawe a lawe that is the onely oracle of France bought with the price of our auncestors bloud with the destruction of our townes with the decay of our houses and with the losse of two wretched battailes Cressy and Poictiers a law that preserueth vs from the dominion of strangers and that cutteth
