hast it lost That which Charles and others won kept in Barbary from the Turke thys king hath lost through the great desire he hath to make wars in christendome Still warring where thou shouldest aide and that with inickle cost And sith that God hath seated thee to weare his crown in Spaine To yeelde accompt to God of this thou surely shalt be faine For what thy tirants do thou doest sith thou doest giue them leaue And if thou looke not well in time they also will bereaue Thee of thy earthly crowne and rule for that they bring in hate To all the world both thee and thine with all thy roiall state For all who erst haue wronged beene such whose friends had wrōg Do call reuenge and threat reuenge with hope ere it be long If thou do not relent in time for to performe it so That thou with them and they with thee will find it to your woe T is vaine to trust too much in golde or Indias siluer mines Or els to friends that are but friends so long as Fortune shines And seemes to lull thee in her lap but bend shee once her brow Thy friends are gone ere thou beware or scarsely knowest how For friendship forst doth wauer still and waiteth but a time For to reuolt though biding yet till things grow more in prime All are not friends that are thy thrall perforce gainst right and will VVhat shew soeuer they do make their hate remaineth still And still doe hope but for a day to set their shoulders free From seruile yoke and tirants fell appointed so by thee To rule and raigne and bear a sway to murther and to sposle Such as are vnder thy hard hand in any forraine soile Sure God the righter of all wronges doth limit time and age How long all tirants shall remaine and rule in bloudy rage VVhich time and age no man shall passe no not a moment small But at the time that God appoints King Charles the last of that name that consen●ed to the massacre died bleeding at the nose eyes mouth and al other vents in the body The last king and brother to Charles being young was by the Guises proeurement a chiefe actor in the massas cre with D. of Guises was the first that altered his na ture to make him take plesare in the effusion of bloud and therefore by the iust indge ment of God he caused the Guise to be murthered so so daynly that he had no time to repēt perforce they perish all Let Charles of France be in thy minde who did but yeelde consent Vnto that slaughter in his Realme whereof he did repent Yet by his death the Lord would shew his wrath in some degree His vents all bleeding till his corps of life and bloud was free But the cheefe authors of the fact though yet they liued long In time receaude their due desert and recompence of wrong First Guyes that great bloud thirsty beast and auctor of that ill Which neuer seemde to be suffisde or haue of bloud his fill The Lord appointed at the length when now his sin was ripe And growen vp vnto the full that he should haue his stripe By his appointment whome he taught and first inuerd to bloud He of himselfe not being so his nature was more good For by the Guyse he was induste to do what so he did And was partaker of his sinne that els would not haue slidde Therefore the Lord appointed so within his secret deeme That he alone should be the man to send him to his toome Without regard of friendship past the Guyse doth seeke his death The king it knowes which to pr●uent he stops the Guyses breath So makes him wallow in his geare that erst had shed so much Of other mens without remorce and now his death is such Euen like the man that taught his crow to eat and pull out eyes Of Lambes and other simple beasts her huuger to suffice The Crow inured still thereto ere that the man it wiste Shee pluckt an eie out of his head while sitting on his fifte Such are the iudgements of our God and so he brings about The scholler in such vgly sinne doth roote the maister out But Iustice yet not fully done though king repent the deede The Lord will surely be reuengde and make all such to bleede As shed the bloud of Innocents and do his saints such harme His power is naught at all abridgd ne shortened is his arme And who hath he resernde in store to touch the Lords annoine Noate To dare lay hands vppon the king to ioypard such a ioynt Euen they aduanced by him most and whom he loued best And of all the other hypocrites prefer before the rest The Iacobins euen those the Lord appointed for the fact To lay their hands vppon the king The Iacobins are an order of ●●vers whom the king moste preserred they did that bloudy act O depth vnsercht and secrets such as neuer may be knowen By humane wit till thou O Lord vouchsafe to haue it showen In time decreede by thy selfe then all the world shall see Thy holy Iudgements what they are and what thy counsails bee But what shall that vngrations house that durst to be so bold To lay their hands vpon their King escape so vncontrold No sure I know they all shall rue that vile and cursed deed Ere it be long as they deserue I hope to see them speed As of the rest none haue escapte that were the chiefe of al In the massacre done in France vpon both great and smal So sure the rods that whipped them at length must into sire They were but great Iehouahs whips I meane the cursed frire With all his crue that did consent vnto King Henries death Agreeing so amongst themselues as beasts deuoyd of faith Bethinke thee well O King of this and trie where thou be cleere And innocent of such offence as is rehearsed heere Flying fame doth say if she say true that Orange Prince was slaine By thee alone sith thou alone didst promise largely gaine To him that should commit the fact which gaine did bring to passe A Spaniard tooke the same in hand most like a wilfull Asse And did performe it villanously who after had his hire Not of thy gold but cruell death as iustice did require Fame saith more that thou art stainde in death of proper sonne Thinke sure to yeelde accompt of all what euer thou hast done For many things are bruted more which I dare not reporte The Lord doth knowe them euery one both where and in what sorte And where thou shouldest aide such kings whose subiects do rebell How thou it dost this Realme and France may witnes very well Whose subiects neuer woulde haue sturde but by thy prosserd aide Of men and money in their need which makes them not afraide Of God nor Prince nor of the Law that bids vs all obay Our Prince appointed by the Lord

by the pyke But at length fayling of their purpose and a cleane contrarie happe befalling their expectations I sawe there their heads in ste'ede of helmets couered with coxecombes and in ste'ede of battleaxes bables in their handes so looking heauily one on another none being able to mocke his fellowe for his long noase I listning to their chatte heard an Italian saying softly to himselfe Cattiuo contare sen●al hosto Which I take to be thus in english ill reckoning without the hoast The legges of this vgly shape were as quite chamged as the rest of the members the young lustie Cardinall on the one side with the fatte fedde Bishoppe on she other that earst vpon hope séemed to daunce vnder the ponderous burthen were now readie to sinke right downe vnder the same as not longer able their hope lost to support so great a waight their shoulders were become crooked and their eyes readie to starte out of their heads staring as though they had béene sitting thrée dayes and nightes at the Stillyeard close by the Renish winefatte their legges stoode trembling and quaking at the knées as though they were euen readie to start one part from the other and the faynting Cardinall faynting in his spéech in stéede of his former vsed these wordes spem laborem amitto which I English thus I léese both labour and hope And the fatte mitred Bishoppe making a mouth like an Oyster cryed out Malè sit oneri As much to say the Diuell take burthen and all It should séeme euerie Cardinall hopes to be Pope and euerie such Bishoppe a Cardinall at least iustifying that saying Nemo sua sorte contentus Therefore it behoues all Cardinalles and such Bishoppes to laye to their helping handes in time eare they with the Popedome come all tumbling downe at once And so they doe say our Papistes and though Pope Sirtus be dead and so one of the Leagues heades be cut off yet the Hydra neuer wanteth another to spring vppe in the place And so it is most true Pope Sixtus the fift is dead euen in the fifte yeare of his raygue of whose death there goeth some doubt some say that her Holinesse was poysoned others that she dyed euen of very griefe that her mishapen Elfe had no better successe in his enterprise eyther of these apinions beare shewe of trueth and it may be thought for most certaine that one of these two causes was her death but sure it is the Lordes dooing howe so euer it be for he can vse what meane hée thinketh best when he thinketh good to remooue so cruell a scourge from his Church we are not to hope for any much better but a worse can not come out of Hell it selfe Some say this newe Pope goeth about to bring foorth a newe League others no but that he will cure refresh and patch againe together the olde League hoping that du Mayne and the Duke de Parma will supply more amply the place of the olde Leagues lest arme both together then the Duke of Guyze did alone Once old holde and kéepe there is and they that liue on the spoyle crye out for a newn League out of hande or that the olde may be repayred with all expedition the Cloysterers with the whole rabble of the Romish Clergie doubt greatly least long delaye might bréede great daunger and therefore these people prick the matter forward with no lesse haste thē their néed requireth spéede but euery principall member of the olde League finde themselues at this instant so tyerde that they desire more a little present rest then a great hope of much ease hereafter How so euer the matter falleth out whether there bee a new League made or the olde renewed let not the childe of God dispayre or doubt God is still one and the same no newe League can be made stronger neyther the olde be renewed and made of greater force than the former but could it be made a hundred times stronger it is all one with God to ouercome with a great or small number the greatest hoast that euer was Reioyce therefore O Sion for thy Redéemer liueth and he that kéepeth Israell doeth neyther slumber nor sléepe Let the vniuersall Church be ioyfull and sing prayses with one consent for Babell is falling the mighty Giant that lately defyed heauen is ouerthrowen on earth his bowe is broken and his speare snapt a sunder his ioints are become féeble the whole bodie altogether out of temper the Prince of glorie hath done it and the Lorde of Hoastes hath heard our prayers the righteous God hath reuenged our wronges on the prowdest of our foes and declared to all the worlde how déere the bloud of his Saintes is alwayes in his sight And as he hath ouerthrowen the first so let vs not doubt but he will doe the next Blessed be his name for euer and let all them that loue the peace of Ierusalem say Amen ● ● ● ● VVIde ope thine eyes O mighty king at lēgth begin to see How heauens how earth do threat reuenge vnto thy realm thee Take pitty then on thee and thine while mercy may be found Before Iehouahs wrathfull face fall flatte vnto the ground Repent returne confesse and cry for mercy at his hand Whose members here on earth by thee lye scattered on the land Whose bloud though scorcht on cruell flame and shed by dint of sword Appeareth fresh before his face that is both King and Lord Of thee and all the earth besides for he hath made it all He doth exalt the meeke in hart the proud he maketh thrall His eyes sees all and he doth heare the poore that are opprest And eke the bloud that cries reuenge and cals to be redrest Iulian the emperour who of set purpose did striue against Christ and therefore greuously afflicted the Church at lēgth he finding himself ouercome hee threw dust into the aire cryed calling Christ Gallilean thou Gallilean hast preuailed If still thou striue with him that stroue yet al against the streame Oercome with him at length with him thou also must proclaime Thou Galilean hast preuailde for sure he will preuaile Gainst all that dare resist his power or least of his assaile It is not thou thy nature milde is turnde to bitter gall By them that rule nay ouerrule thy selfe thy realme and all With Pharaos witches they bewitch thy sences mighty king If still thou list to what they say those witches will thee bring To fall with Pharao and his hoast who warning none would take Thy warnings are no lesse then his God grant they may thee make Thy heauy hand to draw a backe from all such silly soules That fly for feare of Tirants thine and hide themselues in holes Forst leaue their lands and natiue soile with infants young poore To saue theyr throats flesh from flame they leese their goods store Retaine remorce if ought be left els seeke the same to haue Relent to
