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
