to come any way to assist them with his habilitie whereby they were driuen to hasten their entering into armes certaine monethes before their time whereof it insued that the state was troubled the said deputies sent away without doing any thing and the crowne frustrate of that great and goodly increase that was then offered Hereby therefore let all France iudge of the nature indeed strange of the captaines of this League who to the end to warrant the K. of Spaine from an vncertaine losse doo cast this realme into an assured shipwracke who do redeeme the Spaniards danger with the Frenchmans death and his diminution with the vtter subuersion of France But these their wicked intents did they cloake with verie beautifull pretences for the vppermost painting was a certaine deuotion a zeale to the church as if the king who was an example to all men stoode in need of armed solliciters to bring him into the way but this hypocrisie was likewise as soone descried through the visarde And indeede the king by an expresse decree declared them to be rebels and guiltie of treason and so would haue all his good subiectes to take them yea and to the same end he writ to his courts of Parliaments to all his bailifs and stewards and to his principal townes and aduertised his ambassadors resident with forreine princes charging them to lay open their conspiracie against his person and crowne expreslie commanding all good Frenchmen to ouerrunne them and their adherents and desiring all princes his neighbours allies and confederates to assist him against these with both men and monie These dispatches I say which his maiestie sent euerie way both within and without the realme do faithfully shew what his iudgement was of them when he termed them Partakers of a publike peace vnder a false shadow of religion when in expresse termes he confesseth that they shoot not at his crown onelie but also at his person likewise the speeches which with his own mouth he vsed both in the Parliament town house which wee all may yet remember And this profession was neither suborned nor wrested by art or by sorce but put foorth of his owne and the most inward motion of his minde for as it hath sufficientlie since appeared what force or counsaile had hee about him to vrge him against the league albeit contrariwise there were some neere to his maiestie that vsed violence in their behalfes And in deede his commandements were then so taken and construed neither was there anie subtiltie sought out but according to the bare letter for sundrie companies of those of the league that were in sundrie places defeated by the gouernors and the dukes of Ioieuse and Espernon with his maiesties forces made open warre against them as also the lord Marshall Matignon with the aduise of the court of parliament of Bourdeux imprisoned the lord of Vailac their partaker and thrust him foorth of Castle Trompet and likewise the lord great prior gouernour of Prouence apprehended those that had enterprised in the behalfe of the league against the towne of Marseilles and were fauored with the succour of sixe gallies of Florence which waited the execution of their purpose to the ende to take possession in the king of Spaines name whose proces was made by the Parliament of Aix with great solemnitie according to the tenure whereof they were put to death in Marseilles These synodall testimonies and soueraigne decrees were sufficient interpreters of the kings intent against those of the league and the rather because these witnesses iudges and executioners were the verie same that sawe deepest into the kings inward minde as hauing shewed greatest rigour to the Huguonets in the former warres and were therefore to them suspected of stomacke in matter of their religion but free from all suspition or exception to those of the holy league Now let vs note the behauiours and actions of the king of Nauarre at the same time hee see himselfe personallie assaulted hee perceiued that hee was both the subiect and obiect of those of the league The speech was of no lesse matter then to take from him both his life and honour and to murther all that hee loued or that ioued him This had beene enough in some to haue bred a stupiditie rather then a patience It was enough to haue moued a warre abruptlie much more to defend himselfe from that which was alreadie mooued On the other side hee perceiued the King highlie offended against the league hee sawe that hee daylie wrote vnto him that hee tooke both the quarrell and the warre to bee his owne that hee perceiued that they shotte both at his estate and life That his name and religion were but pretences but withall that it was requisite to let his people vnderstande as much whome vnder the false shadowe of religion they had miscaried from their dueties This besides the equitie of the cause had also beene enough to arme him both with title and authoritie against the League And had hee thus taken armes no man woulde haue blamed him whereas through want of dooing it in time hee nowe findeth himselfe in trouble In the meane time hee besides the right and naturall feeling being neuerthelesse as all men knowe wise enough in each other thing did yet resolue himselfe from the Kings hande to waite for the remedie for these mischieues Hee conteineth all his friendes and seruaunts in patience and the Protestant townes in peace and silence hee disposeth himselfe to serue his maiestie vppon his token and in time conuenient hee will not for his owne part vndertake anie thing which may either kindle this war which seemed to happen fitlie for him against the League or that anie way may bee a let to the quenching thereof Contrariwise and indeede wee must needes remember it these were the speeches which for the maintenance of peace hee then vsed In matter of religion hee declared to the King also to the states and all degrees of this realme that hee had beene therein euen from his youth brought vp That after he came to yeares of discretion he had neither seene nor heard any thing that might turn him therfro That he beleeued that hee was in the right way of saluation wherein hee had perseuered in the midst of dangers and maugre the intisements of the world Neuerthelesse that he was readie to learne of the Church in a free Councell whether hee would bring both aptnesse and attention to learne for it did euidentlie enough appeare that his perseuerance in his religion was neither ambition nor obstinacie that ambition if he were therewith possessed might be much better satisfied on the other side as for obstinacie it was too preiudiciall vnto him sith it consisted vpon his quietnes honour and state That at this day as well in this realme as throughout Christendom these matters were growne to these termes wherein euen the colledge of Sorbonne was wont to say that either part shoulde beare with other without taxing
