you shall finde How Regicides haue still bene cast behinde The Captaines that kild Ishbosheth were slaine And he which fell on Saul lyed all in vaine Thus of the rest But come to later times Was not stout Nassaus murthers counted Crimes Prince of Orenge Reueng'd with punishment abhor'd with hate And made a cause of malice and debate What got we by those Henries of France Kild by our Iacobines whome to aduance With Saint-like honour Rome did nothing spare But then alas the Princes did declare Vpon the same our enemies profest The Hugonites grewe strong and did detest Such crueltie yea with Inuectiues durst For that foule Sinne holde Rome herselfe accurst And as for England as of late was seene The strange Attempts against that peerelesse Queene For so I needs must say how e're wee know Shee was seduced another way to goe Affected with Remorse such as so wrought That Catholickes themselues e'ill of Vs thought But when I once the Powder Treason name I doe protest I tremble at the same And must confesse the Deuill disappointed By such a Stratagem ' gainst Gods annoynted For how so ere Kings in Religion faile Yet Cyrus is Gods seruant to preuaile In his designes and they Vicegerents are For good or bad to manage all his warre Nay come to Fryer Paul of Venice State Whose Life so many wayes was sought of late It makes me thinke vpon the stubborne Iewes Who Paules good Doctrine did so much refuse That Vowes were made to kill him in the way But he preuented them Thus thus I say To kill will doe no good but cause the Foe More stronger with an armed Guard to goe And raise a Scandall on your Fatherhood Tearming the Cardinalls the Serpents broode That haue no better meanes the Truth to teach But Lessons of foule Murther still doe Preach Romano Then let vs doe as Machabans did When the poore Iewes were in the Mountaines hid For feare of proude Antiochas take Armes Rowse vp our Courages with warlike charmes Summon our Friends open our Treasures store Aduance the Churches Standard and before The Armies Catholicke with Blessings goe These Caitiffe Heretickes to ouerthrow Dominick This sauors better then the former twaine For this is Manly Princely Yet againe How shall wee thus preuailingly proceed When our own Countries are not well agreed It is not now as when our Innocent Did treade vpon the Dragon and was bent To sommon Fredericke to Romes high Throne Where that that his Holinesse as on a Stone Did set his Foote vpon the Emperors necke The proudest Monarchies to counterchecke It is not now as when three Dayes together Henry the Third though Caesar in foule weather Did Bare-leg wayte with his Empresse and Sonne Eu'n at your Pallace Gate Men then begun To reuerence the Church and durst not stray From true Religion the wronger way It is not now as when our Pandulph came To Englands Iohn and taught him a strange Game Of poore Submission least French Lewis might Dismisse him of his Dignity and Right It is not now as when Henry the Fift That Germane Prince his Father durst out Lift From the Imperiall Seate at your behest And raisd such Armies when you did request It is not now as when that you Deuisde For Millaine Naples and great State premisde For Charles of France so deare to Peters Chaire So Louing Carefull True and Debonaire That hee brought downe his Troopes to Vs amaine And surely ment the Empire to regaine When of Constantinople hee was Crown'd Chiefe Emperor and so most Warlike found Against your then supposed Foe Vntill That Pauies Battaile wrought a fatall ill It is not now as when the Priests and Friers Stucke to their Beades with limited Desires And went no further then a motion To stirre vp men to true Deuotion Were not transcendent in their Practises Nor past themselues in Forraine extacies For on my Soule If euer Rome had crosse Or Subject must bee vnto greater losse It is the stirring Iesuites that wrought it And they as Clergy polliticks haue sought it Good GOD what hath Religion to doe But with Religion men to stirre and wooe To Holy duties Sanctitie of Life Pennance for sinne to Cure debates and strife To saue the Soules of such as goe astray Like silly Ignorants the wronger way So that I know not as the Case now stands But Mischiefe is on foote in Christian Lands And to my feare I speake when you make tryall The end will bee our Scorne or worse Denyall You send to Albert as a Grandsires Sonne Not doubting but an Vnckles name hath wonne Much of regard An answer soone is made Hee Liues and Dyes vnder the Austrian shade But 'las for him These Flemmish Burgers range As farre as Cleue and stand in euery Grange Strong in their Courts of Guard and will not yeeld To giue him way in any Towne or Field You send to France why France is scarse her owne The Protestants then Catholickes are growne More strong and such are their Great Princes Power That no man knowes against them at this hower Who may preuaile but onely this is plaine They cannot spare a man to goe in vaine You send to Phillip Catholicke and Sonne Who hath so many Crownes Countries wonne But how shall they be kept on Head secure Without great force and how shall he endure To raise a forraine Army for your sake That was compeld a sodaine Peace to make With your worst friends Expect not ayde from thence Sufficiently to further your pretence You send to Pole hath Pole no Warres in hand With Turkes with Swenes or with the neighbour Land And are you sure the Passages are free Silesia's Gates and Countries opened bee Is not Lusatia shut Morania gon And how can Poles reliefe bee hoped on Except some stragling Cosacks heere and there As of all Nations you the like may heare As for the Cantons Swisse and Grisans stout It is but folly for to goe about Their succor's more then Mercenary pay And so to either side they make their way I neede not name your Principates about yee Nor other Prouinces that are without yee Of whome some watch the Turke some are at jarre Amongst themselues some for to raise a Warre Haue little meanes lesse men and lesser minde And so must prooue vnto your Sea vnkinde But in a worde the Princes are so strong Of this last Vnion that the meanest Wrong Done vnto one is done vnto another A Brother cannot better loue a Brother Pope Then it should seeme wee shall let all alone And sigh and weepe and crye lament and grone Pule at this outrage kisse the scourging Rod And onely like a Childe crye out O GOD Giue way to Rumor and with Patience Beare the report of Shame with feeling sence One day doth bring vs newes that Bohem Dare Against their Emperour themselues declare Rejecting Austria as it were in scorne Forsaking Vs as if wee were forlorne Another Day reportes the Palatine With other Lutherans
