ought very well to consider if hee haue lawfull cause and honest right to possesse them and where hee knowes no other Title then that of Religion much more hee ought to be aduised that it bee not a faire and honest Couer of a foule and wicked Couetousnesse Don Pedro the tenth King of Aragon and third of that name hauing raised the greatest forces in his power passed therewith into Affrica to make warre vpon the Moores the ancient enemies of our Christian Religion For which holy purpose he receiued great Aides of money from S. Lewis the most Christian King of France What more worthy action could he haue vndertaken Who would haue found occasion to blame him yet vnder the herbe lay hid the Serpent Iosephus Bonfilis Hist.

This King had sometime before sent into Sicily Iohn Procita who offended by Charles of Anioy his Lord desired to be reuenged disguised in the habit of a Fryar to stirre the mindes of that Nation to rebell who for some ill vsage did shew themselues distasted with the French Gouernment Iohn Procita effected his businesse The Rebellion of the Sicilians and the destruction of the French followed King Charles armed for the recouery of his lost Kingdome and the Rebells to resist him In the meane while Peter of Aragon that scarcely hauing touched the Coast of Affrica was retyred to Sardinia to be nearer Sicily obseruing the time and occasion of his designe fitting suddenly went to Palermo where hee was receiued with great ioy and gladnesse and published and proclaimed King of the Siciltans who flocked to him from all parts of the Island See now your Maiestie with what insidious and cursed Art vnder the colour of Religion the King Don Pedro faining to haue taken Armes against the Enemies of Christianity tooke that Kingdome from a Christian King and foedary of Holy Church and which is more with the help of that Gold which he had receiued from the most Christian King right Brother of King Charles Whereupon the blessed Pope Martin the fourth a man of renowned sanctitie of whom as the Spanish Pontificall and other Histories doe report Igliescas vbi supra were seene many miracles after his death did excommunicate and depriue him of his Kingdomes and absolue his Subiects of their Oath of Allegiance giuing power to any Prince to persecute him as a common Enemy Perhaps the holy Bishop thought that with this rigour the King Don Pedro would be brought to acknowledge his error and to restore what he had ill gotten But it proued without any fruit for hee which made it lawfull vniustly to vsurpe the rights of others did little feare Ecclesiasticall censures for their restitution And what more Catholique and more pious Enterprise could bee imagined then that of India for the enlargement or the sacred Gospell What iuster title then that which the highest Bishop Alexander the Sixt did grant to the Catholique Kings Ferdinand and Isabell in the new world ordeyning them as supreme Emperors ouer those Kings and Infidell Kingdomes But after what thing was more vniust then the Conquest of the immediat Dominion of those Countries I call it a Conquest to enter with warre to subdue the people before they were allured with the peacefull voice of preaching and to take away the life of lawfull Lords and Naturall Princes to vsurpe their States notwithstanding they did not hinder the promulgation of the Gospell but rather were ready to receiue the holy Faith And it is a certaine truth that when also they were not conuerted whilst yet they did not oppose the progresse of Christian Religion they could not be by the way of warre subiected that being contrary to the will of Christ who said Speciosi pedes Euangelizantium pacem And much lesse could they bee spoiled of their Dominion seeing the same Christ when he came into the world did declare that the empire also of the Gentiles is iust lawfull commanding euen his own Apostles to pay tribute to Caesar. Neither is it to bee beleeued that the Pope when hee granted to the Catholique Kings the Soueraign Empire of the Indies had any thought to preiudice the immediate Dominion of Gentile Princes because he could not doe it The which the great Atabaliba King of Peru did know by the onely light of nature to whom Friar Vincenzo di val verde made the most sottish and abominable oration to reduce him to the holy faith that could be imagined amongst other Curious things which he spake this was one El Papa que oy biue diò a nuestro potentissimo Rey de Espana Emperador de los Romanos Igliescas p. 2. lib. 6. c. 26.

is the way to riches and he that buyes an office pretends to haue right to sell it in selling Iustice as it was once said of that good Spanish Pope who by force of money ascended to the Chaire did dispence for moneyes all Rights of the Church Emerat ille prius vendere iure potest Here I could open the eies of your Maiesty with a like abuse in your own Court and tell you that los Alguazile● or as we call them Marshals or Captaines of Serieants pay for that charge fiue or six thousand Ducats Los Escriuanos or Nota●ies of Magistrates pay some eighteene some twenty thousand Crownes los Alcaldes or speaking in our owne Idioms the Criminall or Ciuill Iudges doe not pay a certaine summe but they neuer climbe to that degree without bestowing large donations vpon the Fauorits of your Maiestie What may then be said of Gouernours and Vice-Kings which you send into remote Prouinces All the Court doth know and the Prouinces are not ignorant that no man gratis doth obtaine these honours but they all passe in the Common way Your Maiestie may well beleeue that your Ministers are not so zealous of the weale publique profusely to expend their owne to goe and wearie themselues to gouerne others though in the most eminent dignitie Whence you may firmely collect that they propose to disburse at Interest and so prouide that the poore Subiects pay them an annuall Tribute not of fiue tenne or twenty but of a hundred for a hundred and sometimes a thousand and that at the end of their Gouernment they doe leuell the Capitall I could read in Cathedra vpon this matter as that which I haue seene with mine owne eyes and whereof in part to my great losse haue had experience But being a publique thing it behooues not that I wearie my selfe therein I returne then to the Tyranny of the Grisons Pompeio Planta aboue mentioned did vsurpe the power of Magistracie in the Praefecture of Forstenau binding all the officers not to intermeddle in any Cause of Importance without his knowledge or of Redolpho Planta his Brother This man who was Prouinciall Captaine of the Valtoline Criminall Iudg of Zernez of the bordering Communities did vsurp the power of Magistracy of the three Leagues exercising therein most great Tyranny in generall and against particular men and did arrogate to himselfe to iudge the lawes and to choose them onely Iudges who to him were pleasing and whosoeuer would not concurre with him was sodainly depriued In which course attempting to doe violence in the vpper Agnadina hee was the cause that six persons did loose their liues He did falsifie the Statutes and ordinances of the Countrey in his Iurisdiction adding and diminishing them as to him it turned best to accom●t He d●d binde the S●biects in many Communities and free Prouince● with various corruptions and presents to elect into many offices men vpon him dependant Of which his followers he after made vse to breake the lawes to excite Commo●●ons against honest men and to gouerne all with violent Tyranny 〈◊〉 his owne disposition Vpon delicts o● little consideration hee gaue most rigorous sentences Conuerting them after into great Ransoms to whosoeuer would redeeme his vexations When he had punished some Delinquent he found occasion to entangle many Innocents saying that the guilty had accused them o● Confederacy or somewhat else and enforced them if they would auoide his persecution to compound with him in great summes of money In Agnadina he did sh●rpen 〈◊〉 quarrells and factions euen amongst Kindred fomenting them with men and 〈◊〉 whereof followed many wounds and many deaths What auaileth it particularly to recount the Tyrannies vsed for many yeares by him and his Brother in Agnadina Valteline and other places And who is able to search the truth of infinite others practised by their ad●erents and followers In summe Pompeio and Rodolfo Planta haue beene Tyrants themsel●es and Heads of Tyrants from them and by them all those Cruelties of the p●o●le wh●ch in the Manifest written in the name of the Valtelin●s 〈◊〉 exaggerated haue proceeded without contradiction they are too true we doe not deny them But let it availe to speake the Truth and who by your fauour are 〈◊〉 b●t factious m●n and Dependents vpon the Ministers of your Maiest●e From whom haue they receiued the monies to support then Tyrannicall Authoritie but of the Ministers of your Maiestie who hath constantly comforted them in their wicked Actions but the Ministers of your Maiestie Then it must necessarily bee concluded that the Ministers of your Maiestie are they who haue seated Tyranny in the Valteline and in other parts of the Grisons following the same designe aboue mentioned to breed Confusion Disunion and finall destruction of those People to the enlargement of the States of your Maiestie and all these workings haue beene carried in a manner so artificiall that though the Grisons did see many things ill done they could not apply a remedie because they knew not from whence the euill did arise So great was the Tyrants power that there was none found who once durst witnesse a truth But at last when it pleased God to bring it to light the Grisons did not neglect to vse all diligence to dig vp the euill by the Roote The Brethren Planta's fled Conscious of their owne Iniquitie whereby not being able to apprehend them they were punished in such sort as was possible by most sharpe exile Looke vpon the writing so often alleadged of the Acts of the Grisons where more distinctly euery particular may be read But for a demonstratiue proofe of the aforesaid matters all the world doth know how these Brothers Planta's after their banishment were alwaies fauoured and sustained by the Ministers of your Maiestie how at their Instigation and with their helpe they wrought the insurrection of the Valteline and how as yet they negotiate worse actions Here are three things fit to be aduised your Maiestie The one the Deceipt which is obtruded by your Ministers The other the Reproach which they bring to your Roiall name by insidious Complots which they alway extend to other Potentates The last is the Impudence wherewith they seeke vnworthily to wound the name and reputation of good Princes against whom they haue often prouoked the Predecessors of your Maiestie and sometime your selfe and still doe attempt earnestly to induce you to actions little reasonable making you beleeue not that they are only iust but holy Vpon this first we shall haue little cause of discourse seeing from the fore-alleaged matters it is euidently collected that the Grisons doe not nor haue not tyrannised their Subiects neither concerning Religion nor in the politike life That all the Tyranny which was vsed in their State was treacherously induced by the Ministers of your Maiestie and that the Rebellion of the Valtelines was not free and voluntary in them but practised procured and in a manner enforced by those wicked Arts I haue
