Geneua sure is his FINIS These Pictures and Vearses did so farre incense the Pope with all the fraternitie of Friers Monkes and Abbey lubbers in Rome that they fell in a rage cursing and condemning with bell booke and candle the Deuiser Painter and Author of those pictures and vearses and did oppose themselues agaynst the authors thereof swearing to pursue them to death if euer they were knowen The Newes from Spaine is THat the King is sickly verie weake and wonderouslie gréeued with his great losses of men munition which he hath sustained within these two yéeres as wel within his owne dominions as also on the coasts of England and Ireland France and Flanders He was lately complotting of a new intended mischiefe and with some conuenient spéede pretended a new Inuasion for England whereto hee made great preparation and to that purpose sent sundrie traiterous persons secretly into England being seminary priests to perswade the people from their obedience and to hearten on leude and wicked members to become fauourers and associates of that Inuasion But I thinke no subiects in England hauing séene the fruites of the Spanish and Popish dissembling will now become fauourers of such treasons nor be harborers of such traitors But all things therin doth fall out contrarie to the King of Spaines expectation For now his owne subiects do resist him and haue made plaine deniall for comming at anie time héereafter in warlike sort agaynst the Realme of England For which cause the King of Spain hath put to death sundrie of his chiefe Captaines and men of good birth and calling and hath sworn the death of the Duke of Medina for that cause onely Who in the defence safetie of himselfe hath taken an Iland and sundrie men of calling and souldiers doe take parts with him and are become verie mutinous against the King of Spaine This Duke de Medina was chiefe Generall of the huge armie of Spaniardes that came by sea to inuade England when it pleased God that the most part of them were slayne with the sword and drowned in the sea the successe of whose voyage danted the heartes of all Spaniardes for euer for inuading this lande Which as the Almightie hath sundrie times defended from danger so no doubt but he will still defend and supporte the same from Turke Pope and all other enimes whatsoeuer which thing is likely by the praiers of good Christians to be the more easily compassed for that God is the anchor-holde of Englands hope and safetie The Newes from Palermo in Cicilie THe certaine newes is that the Nobilitie of Palermo in Cicilie being within the dominiōs of the king of Spain haue of late vtterly banished from thence the Spanish Inquisition which hath of long time continued there amongest them in verie sharpe sort and was vnto them of Palermo wonderfull grieuous for such was the seuere procéedings of those Inquisitours that they would spare no man woman or childe from the fierie and extreame tortures of death that did once repine mislike or speake against the superstition of their Friers and idolatrous religion there vsed Wherevpon the Pope the King of Spaine and chiefe of the Inquisition are determined to send power thether and to make warre against them onely to constraine them againe to receiue the sayd Inquisition which they vtterly refuse to doe and are all sworne to the contrarie The Newes from Geneua THat whereas the Citie of Geneua was lately besieged with a mightie power brought thether by the Duke of Sauoy who intended to haue rased the walls thereof made a conquest of the Citie and to haue put the Citizens with their wiues and children to the sworde yet God be thanked the Citizens haue of late greatly discomforted the Dukes power and caused him to remoue his forces further which is greatly weakned both by sword and sicknes so that there is great likelyhood you shall heare of the Dukes departure thence verie shortly to the better quietnesse of the Citizens thereof The Newes from France and miserie of Paris SInce the most wonderfull and miraculous worke of God now bruted in the cars of the world concerning the great victorie which he gaue vnto the Christian King Henrie of Bourbon a man for his valor worthie euerlasting honor it is not vnknowen how after he had pursued the enemie in chase full fiue houres and more and hauing put many thousands of them to the sword though they were more thē thrée to one And after that he had put the Duke de Main to flight who since hath withdrawen his wife and children from Paris vnto Perone that sundrie towns hath since yéelded them selues to the mercie of the Kings Maiestie as Vernon Mentz and sundrie other townes of strength are nowe presently like to be deliuered into his Maiesties handes Great and likely was the signe that God fought for this gracious King when the night before the battaile hee shewed a miraculous token of victorie to the Kings side namely by a pitched battaile séene in the skie where in fight of many thousand persons the lesser number did ouercome the greater as it fell out afterward by the Kings side who being but a smal number did put many thousands of the greater number to the sword Since which his good successe the King hath gotten the townes of Corbeyle and Melum Corbeyle was yéelded vp vnto his Maiestie but the town of Melum hee won by the sword where was great effusion of bloud vpon the enemie These townes stand vpon the riuer of Seine and Laigney vppon the riuer of Marnes by meanes whereof his Maiestie hath stopt vp all the passages of the riuers so as no aide can come vnto them of Paris The King is at Clow and hauing cut off them at Paris from receiuing in anie succour of victuall or otherwise hee hath besieged Meos and sendeth some of his forces agaynst Saint Dennis The Pope hath lately sent his Legate into France to disch●rge the King of the excommunication which was before pronounced against him saying he did it before by false information and hopeth that hee will become a most Christian King and that the Crowne of France doth of right appertaine vnto him and to that purpose the Pope hath written to the Cleargie commanding them to obey and praie for the King vpon paine of his excommunication It is wonderfull to sée the present and gréeuous estate of the inhabitants of Paris which City is stil with hold from the Kings Maiestie yet they haue sought to the King since the departure of the Duke de Maine to receiue the said Citie vpon conditions whereto the King will not grant Hée willeth them to yéeld it vp vnto him as his right to stand to his mercie which they haue refused to doe but in the end it wil be the worse for themselues They of Paris doe continue séeking to haue spéech at Noyse and doe verily thinke that the Duke de Maine will forthwith send them some great and mightie armie to succor them beeing now hardly pressed vp for want of victualles which thing is vnpossible for him to doe by reason of the passage which is stopt vp as is before specified The greater parte of the inhabitants in the Citie of Paris are ouerruled by their gouernours that they begin to grewe mutinous amongst themselues And the Friers doe dailie preach vnto them perswade them still to resist the King though it be with the losse of their owne liues Which thing the poorer sort are constrained to consent vnto though contrarie to theyr willes and by reason of their want they are readie to kill one another for victuals Death stands there in euerie mans doore and threatneth their vtter ruine for their wilfull stubburnnesse and though the poorest doe liue in greate penurie yet the richest among them doe make many a hungrie meale So that nowe it is the cōmon report of euerie French man in France They of Paris cannot hold out aboue ten or twelue-daies at the most Those of Quillebeufe haue taken a gally which came from Roane laden with goods of the Duke de Aumal and oth●r chiefe men who had taken those goods from out the houses of the Kings seruants Thus haue you heard how wonderfully God hath defended the Kings Maiestie euen in the daunger of death where at such time as the enemie made full account to haue slayne the King in his flight he was by Gods prouidence constrained to the himselfe and in the flight compelled to warme himselfe and to escape in a souldiers iacket This was the will of God to confound him that sought the confusion of his King and as the same God that so defended him hath sent him since towns of great strength to resist and tame the fury of so mightie a so so doubtles the same God wil stil deliuer him from danger and spéedily send him his chiefe and strongest Cities and walled townes yet detained from him and as well deliuer his chiefest enemies into his hande as also to drawe the hearts of all his subiects vnto him maugre the mallice of such miscreant hel-hounds and detestable traitors or the hellish crew of the vnholy League nowe vp in armes agaynst his Maiestie for whose spéedie confusion and ouerthrow all the true and faithfull fauourers of the King will continually praie And for the prosperitie and defence of their most gracious King and Countrie FINIS
