to the Flemmings was conuerted into a couetous merchandise of the Spaniards Therefore the Scots by such lamentable miseries haue learned not to permit their King vpon any termes whatsoeuer to abandon the royall Seat of his ancient kingdome for to place it in a greater newly fallen vnto him in which case the Scots should vnder their cruell enemies the English be sure to suffer all the calamities which inferiour Nations are wont to endure at the hands of the superiour Some that were present at this Act report how the Spaniards told the King of England that those Scots which had spoken so arrogantly in the presence of his Maiesty were to be seuerely chastised to whom the King of England answered That the Spaniards ought not to giue that counsell vnto others which had proued so pernitious to themselues and thereupon hauing commanded the stay of weighing their Kingdome he assured his Scots that ere long he would giue them all possible satisfaction After this the vast Ottoman Empire was put into the Scale which the last fifteenth yeare arriued to the summe of two and thirty Millions but now was found to bee lesse than sixteene the strangnesse whereof made all the Princes very much to maruell and particularly the Venetians who could not beleeue such a fall whereupon they desired that wich more diligence it might be reweighed and it appeared how in that little time running betweene the first and this second weighing it had fallen eight hundred twenty and two pounds whereby it was manifest that the Ottoman Empire heretofore so terrible to the world now consumed with luxury couetousnesse and idlenesse runneth headlong to his ruine which gaue great contentment to all those Princes Neuerthelesse it was obserued by some of the wisest there present that the Spaniards were not so glad of it as the rest out of a doubt they had that the depression of the Turke would bee the exaltation of the Venetian State Then came the Polach Senators and put into the Scale their Kingdome which in regard of the small authority the King hath there the too much command which the Palatines arrogate vnto themselues made but a poore reckoning for it did not amount to six millions of pounds whereas in times past it alwaies exceeded twelue After them the Signory of the Councell of Te●● put into the Scale the flourishing Estate of the Venetian Common-wealth most admirable for the greatnesse thereof and opportunity of situation fitting for all great enterprises which went beyond all expectation in the weight for it came to eight Millions the cause whereof was said to bee the huge masse of Gold which those wise Senators in so long a time of peace had gathered together into their Treasury Next came the Switzers the Grisons and other free people of Germany and brought their Common-weals to the Scale Howbeit the Princes required that they might be weighed each one seuerally by it selfe wherewith the Germanes were well contented so that it might be done But Lorenzo hauing put the Common-wealth of Basil into the Scale it appeared that the greater part of the other Common-weales of Germany were all so linked together that it was impossible to separate them one from another which put a many of ambitious Princes there in a sweat Then the Duke of Sauoy caused his State to be put into the Scale by his noble Knights of the Annonciata which equalled the weight of the last fifteenth yeere but Lorenzo hauing added into the Scale that most noble prerogatiue of Title which the said Duke Charles Emanuell enioyeth of the prime Souldier of Italy it was seene to aggrauate the weight a Million foure hundreth and twenty pounds After this with a pompe and Maiesty matchable to Kings appeared the Duke of Lorraine whose State though little equalled the weight of great Kingdoms and it was considered that it fell out to bee so by a certaine good fortune which that Prince had to haue his States so happily seated that hee could easily put the Low-Countries into grieuous difficulties by impeaching the passage of those succours which the Spaniards conduct thither out of Italy whereby he hath growne into such reputation that to the most offerer he selleth for ready gold the merchandise of that his adhering in such sort that after he had dreyned the Spaniards asmuch as any the de●outest French Lord of the holy League whatsoeuer siding afterwards with the French hee knew so well how to change his coppy that a King of France such as was Henry the fourth the great Duke of Toscan and the Duke of Mantoua were glad of his alliance And fully to make vp the Spaniards iealousie the famous Venetian Common-wealth drew into her pay a Prince of that House with such affection that if that great Lady had not made a vow of perpetuall chastity and her nature according to the custome of some Indians had not beene stitched vp the first day she was born by the Venetian Signory most iealous of her honour it was verily beleeued by many that she would haue taken him to husband It was obserued that the Duke of Sauoy enuied much the felicity of this Prince because hee finding himselfe also seated betweene the French and the Spaniards of Milan as the Duke of Loraine was betweene the French and the Spaniards of Flanders in stead of so many benefits and so many commodities as fell vpon the Duke of Loraine hee had receiued most cruell kicks not onely from the French then his enemies but from the Spaniards his friends so that it was euident the Duke of Sauoy did now plainly see how that practise of his with the Spaniard was most pernicious for him Then came the Otto di Balia and put into the scale the flourishing State of the great Dukes of Tos●an which by reason of the excellent wits of the Inhabitants perpetuall plenty continuall peace and quiet security it enioyeth answered in weight to many Kingdomes Lorenzo greatly reioyced when he saw how vpon the foundations of those Churches and Hospitals which he and his Predecessors in the time of the Florentine liberty had laid in their Countrey their Successors according to the modell left them by Cosimo the Great had afterwards found meanes to erect strong Cyttadels whereupon Lorenzo to make a glorious shew of the worth and wisdome of the Princes of his house added into the Scale the admirable vnderstanding of Ferdinand the Great with the excessiue weight whereof it was so ouer charged that the huge chayne whereby it hung brake in two so that all went to ground This accident of the Scales so broken was an hindrance that other Italian Princes which remained could not be weighed whereupon it was concluded that comming according to the ancient custome to lay all the Princes and Potentates of Italy in ballance against the Monarchy of Spaine out of the vniuersall weight of the Italian Princes each ones particular would easily appeare Into the midst of the great Hall then was brought an
