A. 1642. Articles of the Earle of Bristoll whereby he chargeth the Duke of Buckingham Dated primo Maij Anno. 1626. THat the Duke of Buckingham did secretly combine and conspire with the Conde de Gondomar Ambassadour for the King of Spaine before his the said Ambassadors last returne into Spaine 1622. to carry his now Majesty then Prince into Spaine to the end that he might be informed and instructed in the Roman Religion and thereby have perverted the Prince and subverted the true Religion established in England from which misery this Kingdome next under Gods mercies hath by the wise Religious and constant carriage of his Majesty bin almost miraculously delivered considering the many bold and subtle attempts of the said Duke in that kind 2 That M. Porter was acquainted with it and sent into Spain such Messages at his return framed as might serve for a ground to set on foot this conspiracy which was done accordingly and thereby the King and Prince highly abused and their consents thereby first gotten to the said journey that is to say after the returne of the said M. Porter which was about the end of December or beginning of Ianuary 1622. whereas the said Duke had plotted it many moneths before 3 That the Duke at his arrivall in Spaine nourished the Spanish Ministers not onely in the beleif of his own being popishly affected but did both by absenting himselfe from all exercises of Religion constantly used in the Earle of Bristolls house and frequented by all the Protestant English and by conforming himselfe to please the Spaniards in diverse rites of their Religion even so far as to kneele and adore their Sacraments from time to time give the Span●ards hope of the Prince his conversion which he endeavoured to procure by all meanes possible and thereby caused the Spanish Ministers to propound far worse Questions for Religion than they had been formerly by the Earle of Bristoll and sir Walter Asten setled and signed under their Majesties Hands with a clause in the King of Spaine his Answer of the twelfth of December Anno 1622. That they held the Articles agreed upon sufficient and such as ought to induce the Pope to the granting of the dispensation 4. That the Duke of Buckingham having severall times in the presence of the Ea of Bristoll moved and pressed his late Majesty at the instance of the Conde de Gondomar to write a letter unto the Pope and to that purpose having once brought a letter ready drawn wherwith the Ea of Bristoll by his Majesty being made acquainted did so strongly oppose the writing of any such letter that during the abode of the sayd Earl in England the sayd Duke could not attain it yet not long after the sayd Earle was gone hee procured such a letter to bee written from his late Majesty unto the Pope and to have him stiled Sanctissimus Poter 5. That the Pope being informed of the Duke of Buckingham his inclination and intention in point of Religion sent unto the sayd Duke a particular Bull in parchment for to perswade and encourage him in the pervertion of his Majesty then Prince 6. That the Duke's behaviour in Spaine was such that he thereby so incensed the K. of Spain and his Ministers that they would admit of no reconciliation nor further dealing with them whereupon the Duke seeing that the match would now be to his disadvantage he endeavoured to break it not for any service to the Kingdome nor dislike of the match it selfe nor for that he found as since he hath pretended that the Spanyards did not really intend the same match but out of his particular ends and indignation 7. After that he intended to crosse the marriage he put in practise diverse undue courses as namely making uses of the letters of his Majesty then Prince to his owne ends and not to what they were intended as likewise concealing things of high importance from his late Majesty and thereby overthrew his Majesties purposes and advanced his own ends 8. That the D. of Buckingham as hee had with his skill and artifices formerly abused their Majesties so to the same end hee afterwards abused both Houses of Parliament by finister relations of the carriage of affaires as shall be made apeare almost in every particular that hee spake to the sayd Houses 9. As for his scandall given by his personall behaviour as also the imploying of his power with the King of Spayn for the procuring of favours and Offices which hee bestowed upon base and unworthy persons for the recompence and hire of his lusts these things as neither fit for the Earl of Bristoll to speake nor indeed for the house to hear hee leaveth to your Lordships wisedomes how far you will be pleased to have them examined it hath indeed been great infamy and dishonour to this Nation that a person of the Dukes quality and imployment a privy Counsellor an Ambassadour eminent in his Majesties favour solely trusted with the Prince should leave behind him in a Forreign Court so much scandal as he did by his ill behaviour 10. That the Duke of Buckingham hath been in great part the cause of the ruine and misfortune of the Palsgrave and his estate in asmuch as those affairs had relation unto this Kingdome 11. That the Duke of Buckingham in his relation to both Houses of Parliament wronged the Earl of Bristoll in point of his honour by many sinister aspersions which he hath layd upon him and in the point of his liberty by many undue courses through his power and practises 12. That the Earl of Bristoll did reveale to 〈◊〉 late Majesty both by words and letter in what sort the Duke had deceived him and abused his trust and that the King by severall wayes sent him word that hee should rest assured that hee would heare him but that hee should leave it to him to take his owne time and thereupon few days before his sicknesse hee sent the Earle 〈◊〉 that he would hear him against the Duke as well as he had heard the Duke against him which the Duke heard and not long after his blessed Majesty sickned and dyed having in the interim 〈◊〉 much vexed and pressed by the said Duke FINIS
