space he hath already defeated him of two strong townes cut in peeces the flower of his men of war who now might haue stood him in some steed for the defence of other his strong holds against 12000 men and 20 canons that doe lay sore to them After I say so many great losses and all your great townes so straightly beseeged what hope can there remaine especially this Alexander of Parma being no longer a worlds man True it is that hereafter we may peraduenture haue some succour from the Sauoyan who will bring his great forces to assist his cunning to bee crowned in our citie of Paris for he hath maryed one of the daughters of Spaine and sith that by the aduice of the Doctors of Millan the Salicke law ought to surcease he hath no doubt a part in the succession for at Paris there is no prerogatiue of Eldership amonge the daughters and therefore the towne may well enough be deuided Let the eldest chose either the Loure or the Pallace the one shall hold for Sauoy the other for Spaine But I doubt he hath other matters to thinke vppon he seeth already the french ancients so forward toward the midest of Piedmont that thirty thousand canon shot will hardly roote them out and yet before he come to that he must winne the field against those that haue profered him battaile any time these six monethes whome he dare not encounter in the plaine field with al his owne power and the power of his father in law This is a very Scipios policie Our king hath procured the warre to be transported into Affrica and the firebrand thereof into the dominions of the Spanyard and of his sonne in law who already intituled himselfe Earle of Prouence from whence he hath found one of the heires of Gaston of Foix of the valeant Nogaret that shall not onely expell him but also proceed further euidently giue him notice of the old prouerbe which saith That France was neuer so weake but a man might still find some cause of earnest fight and that either soone or late she will giue him to wit that it is dangerous dealing with her Oh Ingratefull Sauoyan among all earthly people the most vnthankfull France restored to thy mother that which with the swordes point and vppon good cause she had taken from thy grandfather and thou in liew of acknowledging this magnificence and in all manner of good duety reuerencing the maiestie of the french empire dost by notable treasons endeuour to rent and dismember the same still conspiring with her Capitall enemies Remember that I doe prognosticate vnto thee that a Spanish wife shall procure to thee the losse of that which a French wife brought to thy father nothing can defend thee All the cunning speech of the Archbishop of Lions together with the abstract of all the seditious libells and orations spued out against our kings by these pentioners of Castile published vnder the title of a declaration can no whit preuaile with this valeant nobility whose eares and harts are stopped against such Mermaids as seeke to plonge them in the goulfe of all misery All these latter policyes they take as assured arguments that the strength of this detestable conspiracy draweth to decay Your selues doe now know that this busy and seditious communalty is not able to vanquish the French nobility cannot beare the first push of their horses neither may any way abide the glims of their glistering armour What will yee then doe seeke some meanes by faire words to deuide these gallant gētlemen among themselues and in a pitcht field procure them to cut each others throats Oh what a happy day would that be vnto you wherein there should be neuer a blow stroken in vaine where the losse either of the one or the other should be an equall gaine and like aduancement of your drifts which can haue no successe so long as there be any gentlemen in France They are borne to liberty to glory They can brooke no forrein dominion or commandement Any speeches of the king of Spaine of the Sauoyan or of the Lorraines they cannot heare but that needes they must enter into choller into indignation into threats yea and into armes to the end to exalt the name and honour of France aboue all things in the world They cānot abide to heare any king but their owne intituled the great king without ouerrunning of those that dare giue out such seruile Infamous and base speeches They are not acquainted with this tytle Vniuersall king in whatsoeuer language it be disguized They knowe not that ould tirant otherwise then by the name of kinge of Spaine which no man dare now pronounce in their presence for feare least at that onely worde they should call to mind that it is the name of their capitall enemie the sworne enemie to their fathers the same who wrongfully deteyneth from France the one halfe of her prouinces who procured the death of his owne sonne and of his wife the daughter of king Henry the second and since holpe forward the deathes of his two brother in lawes the late Monsieur and our last king Likewise to the end yee may the better know him he was son to Charles the fift the poysoner of the french Dolphine who by treasons stole y e greatest riches of this realme who layd the foundations of his tiranny on the citie of Rome which his sonne hath since perfectly established layd fast purchasing with coyne the voyce of the consistorie and so bringing into the holy sea his nurcelings and pentioners according to the degrees of their affection to Spayne Doe you then meruell that their bulles forged in Madrlt which tooke only their edge at Rome wherwith they indeuor to make France through her diuision tributarie to them haue beene condemned by this imperial and sacred Senate of our king A senate gouerned by a Cato replenished with Phocions and euermore accustomed to reuenge the iniuries of the crowne The french nobility hath sent y e Marquize of Pizani to be assured of the truth If it appeare that Rome is as surely tyed to the Spaniard as Siuill and that their declarations can not be well enterteyned they will well enough prouide remedies necessarie This is not the first time that the holy sea hath beene transferred to this side of the mountes albeit I be very well assured there shall be no such necessitie For the French sworde is strong enough yet once againe to deliuer Rome out of the hands of this Gothik and Sarrazin stocke Neither doe we beleeue that all that is beyond the Alpes doth loue this vniuersal king but that contrariwise the clearer that their sight is naturally the more they doe apprehend the effectes of his insupportable dominion and the execution of the hereditarie purposes of his father Charles This French Cath. Nobilitie is of force sufficiēt to preserue both the Estate and their Religion neither neede they the helpe of these soueraignes of

receiue from their good maister causeth them to acknowledge him and to terme him The mightie king the vniuersall king the Catholicke king the king of kings the great Monarck victorious both by sea and by land and whatsoeuer other flattery may be inuented they will heape vppon him in exchange of his duckats What more assured testimony cā we craue to proue that such people are no frenchmen The Achayans bring already entered into acknowledgement of the Romane empire Aristaenetus the Megapolitain a man of great credit amongst them on a time in open connsaile said that it were good to honour the Romans and not to shew any ingratitude toward them whervpon Philopoemen a man who iustly was by the history-graphers termed the last Grecian hearing this speech a while held his peace but in the end so pressed with impacience and choller that he could no longer keepe silence said Aristaenetus why makest thou such hast to see the wretched destiny of Greece For thefe thirty yeares haue there bene among vs a geuerall complaint prosecuted not only by the nobility but euen by al men of courage for y t the king of Spaine hath presumed to thinke to cause his Embassadors to take the precedence from ours What frenchman hath not with iust indignation complained hereof and yet now euen at once he that intituleth himselfe the pretector and liutenant of the crowne of the mightienesse and maiestie of France hath shewed himselfe such a coward or rather such a traytor to terme the king of Spaine the great king and in what comparison but that the king of France must be little Why Charles of Lorraine canst thou find any example that by letters patents sealed with the Flower de Luce the title of Great was euer attributed to any forreine kings nay but contrariwise many times haue the fields flowed with blood for the preseruation of the title of Augustus to the kings of France the first the ancientest and the most mighty princes in Christiandome who doe inioy the crowne of liberty and glory aboue all other kings yet now aloud publiquely in letters patents sealed with the Flower de Luce by thee falsified thou callest the Spanyard the great king a title which in our fathers dayes would alone haue cost thee thy life Why Duke of Mayenne art thou in such hast to aduance the wretched destinies of France He hast sayst thou succoured our Catholicke religion nay say thy ambitious and the practizes of thy family against this estate To the ende to vndermine a crowne of many yeares standing and to lay hould againe vppon the sundrie vaine pretences euer since Charlemagne by histories conuicted of falshood as shewing that it is not past sixe score yeares since the race of Vaudemont entered into the house of Lorraine which in lesse then 460. yeares haue fallen into seauen seuerall families To strike I say so great a stroke to extinguish the blood royall and to stepe into their place it is requisite to haue great support and a woonderfull plausible pretence this forteresse is not to be assaulted with weake battery considering that in such actions the lest errors are so perilous The support hath bene the king of Spaine the ancient enemie to France and one who by inheritance purposeth to become Monarck ouer all Christiandome The onely pretence any way to be taken was for religion all others being farre to weake Vpon this ground haue they long since hired those whose tounges haue bene saleable in the pulpits dedicated to the truth by whose meanes they haue cast vppon the people al those charmes that haue brought this estate so neere to distruction Herevppon likewise haue they long since sent the Ieswistes very Spanish Colonies who haue shed forth the poyson of their consperacy vnder the shadow of holinesse and vnder the colour of confession O woonderfull policie haue abused the deuotion of the French nation whom by seceret othes they haue bound to their league Who also in liew of instructing our people in the Catholike religion are become trumpets of warre firebrands of sedition protectors and defenders of murther and robbery to be briefe who are waxen forein leuine to sower the dowe of our France and to alter the fedility into trechery and rebellion so cunningly conducting their masters affaires that they haue filled this realme before flourishing with fire and blood and euen with the French swords murthered so much braue and valiant nobility as had bene of force and power sufficient to reconquer Naples and Millan which this Gothicke race hath stollen from our fordfathers These cursed policies did long lie hidden but at y e last the war begun with all extremity about the yeare 85. against a most Catholicke king and so acknowledged by those that most hated him against a king yet in the flower of his age together with the detestable murder committed vppon his person fower yeares after haue too euidently declared this pretence of religion to be vtterly false and of no apparance This cruell and horrible murder of their king hauing brought them into execration with all courageous persons now to couer their subtilties vsed in the compassing thereof they doe in their declarations giue out this impression to the people that the kings death was a blow from heauen Oh abhominable impiety Oh mightie king whome all the subtilties of thy enemies who abusing thy authority and too much lenity were become masters of thy best townes could neuer stop from inclosing them in the capitall city of thy realme where they found themselues brought into such extreamity that without that knife forged in hell the had bene already chastized for all their notable treazons Oh mightie king who couldest not haue any fuller confession of the victory euen at thy enemies hands then the kinde of thy death is it possible that thy subiectes euen thy children who yet do speake the french language should endure this cruell parricide the like whereof was neuer seene neither any thing so detestable which hath replenished all men with sorrow and teares to bee termed a blow from heauen O God who neuer without punishment sufferest thy holy name to be abused in such and so horrible transgrassions canst thou permit the inuention euen a blow of the diuel who tormenteth mankind to be attributed vnto thee and that thou who art protector of kings shouldest be proclaimed their murderer Suffer not O Lord such blasphemies but with a stripe of thy mightie arme euen a blow indeede from heauen breake the cursed head of these traytors to their king of these bloody paricides who seeke to couer their detestable coniuration and conspiracie vnder the vayle of thy holy name What an indignity is this O ye french nation that they who impudent and shamelesse dare yet though falsey cause themselues to be called as you should bewayle the death of the Duke of Parma whome they intitle of happy memorie a title neuer publickely attributed to other but kings and contrariwise wish vs to beleeue
