the Lantgraves Captain was slain by the Walloons which much enraged the Common people against them The Dutchess understanding their danger perswaded her husband to leave them and by the swiftness of his horse to recover some Town for his Security which Mr. Berty attempting to do was eagerly pursued by the Countrymen and the Captains Brother who thought he had been slain indeed And in the pursuit they came so near him that he had certainly been murthered but that as God would have it spying a Ladder standing against a Window he leapt off his Horse and ran up the Ladder whereby he got into a Garret on the top of the house where he defended himself for some time with his Sword and dagger till the Magistrates came and perswaded him to submit to the Law Mr. Berty knowing himself to be clear and the Captain alive yielded himself upon condition to be protected from the rude multitude and delivering up his weapons was committed to Custody till the Case should be heard Mr. Berty then writ to the Lantgrave and the Earl of Erbagh declaring his Case to them and the next morning the Earl came to Town where the Dutchess was now arrived in the Waggon The Earl having before heard of the Dutchess came to see her shewing much civility and respect toward her which the Townsmen observing and finding the Captain was alive they began to shrink away and make Friends to Mr. Berty and the Dutchess not to represent their Actions at the worst And thus through Divine Providence escaping this great danger also they proceeded in their Journey and at last arrived safely in Poland where they were entertained by the King with all humanity and kindness The King likewise settling them safely and Honourably in the Earldom of Crozan where they had as absolute a Power in Government as the King himself so that it proved to them a quiet Haven after so many Troubles in a Tempestuous Sea and there they lived with much Honour and Comfort till the Death of bloudy Q.

Spotswood gives a very notable Relation of the Adventures and Dangers of Mr. John Craig as followeth In the year 1600. Mr. John Craig who had been Minister to King James in Scotland but through Age was compelled to quit the charge departed this Life whilst he lived he was had in great esteem a great Divine and an excellent Preacher of a grave behaviour sincere and inclining to no Faction and which increased his Reputation he lived honestly without Ostentation or desire of outward Glory Many tossings and troubles he indured in his life-time For in his younger years having passed his course in Philosophy in the University of St. Andrews he went from thence into England and waited on the Lord Dacres Children as a Tutor for two years But Wars then happening between England and Scotland he returned home and became a Fryer of the Dominican Order He had not lived long among them when upon suspicion of Heresie he was put into Prison after his Release he went back to England hoping by means of the L. Dacres to have got a place in Cambridge but his expectation being frustrated he went into France and from thence to Rome There he won such favour with Cardinal Pool that by his recommendation he was received among the Dominicans of Bononia and by them was first appointed to instruct the Novices of the Cloyster Afterwards when they perceived his diligence and dexterity in businesse he was employed in their Affairs throughout Italy and was sent in Commission to Chios an Island in the Ionick Sea to redress things that were amiss among those of their Order Herein he discharged himself so well that at his return he was made Rector of the School and thereby had access to the Libraries especially to that of the Inquisition where meeting with Calvins Institutions he was taken with a great liking thereof and one day discoursing with a Reverend Old Man of the Monastery he was by him confirmed in the opinion he had entertained but withall was warned by no means to discover himself or to make his mind known because the times were dangerous But he neglecting the Counsel of the old Man and disclosing his Opinions too freely was accused of Heresie and being sent to Rome after Examination he was Imprisoned for Nine Moneths at the end whereof being brought before the Judge of the Inquisition and making a clear Confession of his Faith he was condemned to be burnt the next day being the 29 of August It happened that the same night Pope Paul 4 died upon the noise of whose death the People came in a Tumult to the place where his Statue in Marble was erected and pulling it down did for the space of three dayes drag it through the Streets and in the end threw it into the River of Tiber During this Tumult all the Prisons were broke open and the Prisoners set free and among others Mr. Craig had his Liberty And as he endeavoured to escape as not thinking it safe to continue in the City two things happened to him not unworthy relating First in the Suburbs as he passed along he met a sort of Outlawed People whom they call Banditi One of the Company taking him aside demanded if he had ever been at Bononia He answered That he had been sometime there Do you not remember said he that walking on a time in the Feilds with some young Noblemen there came a poor maimed Souldier to you intreating some releis Mr. Craig said He did not well remember it But I do said he and I am the man to whom you then shewed kindness be not afraid of us for you shall incur no danger and so conveying him through the Suburbs and directing him the securest way he gave him so much money as might bear his Charges to Bononia for he intended to go thither thinking to find entertainment among his acquaintance there but at his coming to them they looked strangely upon him whereupon being afraid to be betrayed by them he got secretly away intending his Course for Millain By the way another Accident befell him which he afterwards often related to many Persons of Quality as a singular Testimony of Gods Providence and care over him and thus it was when he had travelled some days going out of the High-ways for fear of Discovery he came into a wild and desart Forrest and being sorely tired he lay down among some Bushes on the side of a little Brook to refresh himself lying there Pensive and full of thoughts not knowing where he was nor having money to bear his Charges a Dog with a Purse in his Teeth came fawning upon him and laid it down before him He being struck with fear rose up and judging it to proceed from God's favourable Providence toward him he followed his way till
he came to a little Village where he met with some who were travelling to Vienna in Austria whereupon changing his former intentions he went in their Company to that City Whilst he continued there professing himself one of the Dominican Order he was brought to preach before Maximilian 2. Emperor of Germany who likeing the Man and his manner of Preaching would have retained him if by Letters from Pope Paul 3. he had not been required to send him back to Rome as one that was condemned for Heresie The Emperor being unwilling to deliver him and on the other hand not willing to quarrel with the Pope sent him privately away with Letters of safe Conduct and so travelling through Germany he came into England where being informed of the Reformation begun in his own Countrey he went into Scotland and offered his Service to the Church but the long disuse of his Native Language having lived abroad 24 years made him unuseful at the first only now and then he preached a Sermon in Latin to the Learned in Magdalens Chappel in Edenburgh â—nd in the year 1567. having recovered the use of â—he language he was appointed Minister of Holy-rood House Next year he was removed to Edenburgh and was joyned as Colleague with Mr. Knox for Nine years space Then by Order of the General Assembly he was removed to Montress where he continued two years and upon the Death of Adam Heriot was removed from thence to Aberdeen having the inspection of the Churches of Mar and Buchan committed to his care In 1579 he was called to be K. James his Minister and served in that charge till born down with the weight of years he was forced to retire himself After which time forbearing all Publick exercises he lived privately at home comforting himself with the remembrance of the Mercies of God that he had experienced in his life past and this year Decemb. 12. without any pain he died peaceably at Edenburg in the 88 year of his Age. A. B. Spotswood History of Scotland pag. 461. X. The Great King Henry the Fourth of France saith Mr. Howell was as remarkable an Example of the Lubricity and unstableness of Mundane Affairs and of the Sandy Foundation whereon the highest Pomp and purposes of men are grounded as almost any Age can Parallel For this Illustrious Prince having a most potent and irresistible Army composed of Forty Thousand Combatants all choice men led by Old Commanders and the most expert Europe could afford in a perfect Equipage having also a Mount of Gold as high as a Lance estimated at sixteen Millions to maintain this Army having assured his Confederates abroad setled all things at home caused his Queen to be Crowned with the highest Magnificence imaginable and appointed her Regent in his absence behold this mighty King amongst these Triumphs of his Queens being to go next day â—o his Army when his Spirits were at the highest elevation and his heart swelling with assurances rather than hopes of Success and Glory going one Afternoon to his Armory he was stopped in a small streâ—t by so contemptible a thing as a Colliers Carâ— and there from amongst the Arms of his Nobles he was thrust out of the World by the meanest of his own Vassals the Villain Ravilliac who with a Prodigious Confidence put his Foot upon the Coach-wheel reached him over the Shoulders of one of his greatest Lords and stabbed him to the very heart and with a monstrous undauntedness of Resolution making good his first stab with a second dispatched him suddenly from off the Earth as if a Mouse had strangled an Elephant Sic parvis pereunt ingentia rebus And thus the smallest things Can stop the Breath of Kings Let us now see the deserved punishment of this Notorious bloudy Wretch This Francis Ravillac was born in Angoulesme by Profession a Lawyer who after the committing of that Horrid Fact being siezed and put upon the Rack May 25. the 27 he had Sentence of Death passed on him and was executed accordingly in the manner following He was brought out of Prison in his Shirt with a Torch of two pound weight lighted in one hand and the Knife wherewith he Murdered the King chained to the other he was then set upright in a Dung-cart wherein he was carried to the Greve or place of Execution where a strong Scaffold was built At his coming upon the Scaffold he crossed himself a sign that he died a Papist then he was bound to an Engine of wood made like St. Andrew's Cross which done his hand with the Knife chained to it was put into a Furnace then flaming with Fire and Brimstone wherein it was in a most Terrible manner consumed at which he cast forth horrible cryes like one tormented in Hell yet would he not confess any thing After which the Executioner having made Pincers Red hot in the same Furnace they did pinch his Paps the brawns of his Arms and Thighs the Calves of his Legs with other fleshy parts of his Body pulling out Collops of Flesh and burning them before his Face then they poured into those wounds scalding Oyl Rosin Pitch and Brimstone melted together after which they set a hard Roundel of Clay upon his Navel having a hole in the middle into which they poured melted Lead at which he again roared out most horribly yet confessed nothing But to make the last act of his Tragedy equal in Torments to the rest they caused four strong Horses to be brought to tear his body in pieces where being ready to suffer his last Torment he was again questioned but would not reveal any thing and so died without calling upon God or speaking one word concerning Heaven His Flesh and Joints were so strongly knit together that those four Horses could not in a long time dismember him but one of them fainting a Gentleman who was present mounted upon a mighty strong Horse alighted and tied him to one of the Wretches Limbs yet for all this they were constrained to cut the flesh under his Armes and Thighs with a sharp Razor whereby his body was the easier torn in pieces which done the Fury of the People was so great that they pulled his dismembred Carcass out of the Executioners hands which they dragged up and down the dirt and cutting off the fllesh with their Knives the Bones which remained were brought to the place of Execution and there burnt the Ashes were cast in the Wind being judged unworthy of Earths Burial By the same Sentence all his Goods were forfeit to the King It was also ordained that the House where he had been born should be beaten down a recompence being given the owner thereof and never any house to be built again on that ground That within fifteen dayes after the Publication of the Sentence by sound of Trumpet in the Town of Angoulesme his Father and Mother should depart the Realm never to return again if they did to be hanged up presently His Brethren Sisters
Queens and numerous Wives Some few Courtiers who among so many Traytors remained faithful to him attended with a doleful silence upon the Emperour and Empress who could neither speak a word nor shed a tear sorrow had taken such entire possession of their hearts Zunchin was a young Prince endowed with all the qualities that might render him amiable to his People His Royal Spouse the Empress loved him with so tender an affection that to testifie the sincerity of her Passion to him she resolved to dye either with or before him The Prince being very pensive and sollicitous how to prevent greater disgraces went together with those who accompanied him towards a little Grove at the entrance of which he stopped and then the Empress guessing at his design approached to him and giving him her last embraces she parted from that person which was the dearest to her of all things upon Earth with all the grief and sorrow that Humane Nature is capable of and then she entred all alone into the Grove and with a Cord hanged her self upon one of the Trees A dreadful spectacle which might make even those who were more sensless than the Trees lament so direful a death of so great an Empress Presently after the Emperour went and placed himself near his Wife whom he saw hanging upon a Tree having finished her Life by a death as violent as that which he had inflicted upon his Daughter Then poor Prince he asked a little Wine of one of the Lords which attended him not that he was a lover of Wine but on the contrary was the most sober and moderate in his pleasures of all the Princes which ever governed the Empire And was so chast toward women that he never frequented his Seraglio which made his Subjects call him the Chast Prince It was not therefore for the love of Wine but a little to revive and refresh his Spirits And doubtless he had need of great courage to put in Execution what he designed When the Wine was presented to him he sipped a little of it and then biting with violence one of his Fingers and squeezing out his blood he writ therewith these following words The Mandorins or Eunuchs are all Villains they have perfidiously betrayed their Prince they all deserve to be hanged and it will be a laudable Act of Justice to execute this Sentence upon them It is fit they should all suffer death that thereby they might instruct those who succeed them to serve their Prince more Loyally As for the People they are not Criminal and deserve not to be punished and therefore to use them ill will be injustice I have lost my Kingdoms which I recieved in inheritance from my Ancestors In me is finished the Royal Line which so many Kings my Progenitors continued down to me with all the Grandeur and Fame suitable to their Majestick Dignity I will therefore for ever close my eyes that I may not see this Empire descended to me thus ruined and ruled by a Tyrant I will go and deprive my self of that Life for which I can never suffer my self to be indebted to the basest and vilest of my Subjects I have not the confidence to appear before them who being born Subjects are become my Enemies and Traytors It is fit the Prince should dye since his whole State is now expiring And how can I endure to live having seen the loss and destruction of that which was dearer to me than Life The Prince after he had thus writ what his just grief dictated to him he untied his Hair and covering his face presently with his own hands he hanged himself upon a Tree near to that on which the Empress remained strangled This was the Tragical Catastrophe of this unfortunate Monarch The Emperour of China remained thus hanging on a Tree the Prince who was the Idol of his people at the very name of whom Millions of men trembled The Soveraign of above an 100 Millions of Subjects the Monarch of a Kingdom as spacious as all Europe He who counted his Souldiers by Millions and his Taxes and Tributes by hundreds of Millions Finally the Potent Emperour of the great Empire of China is hanged upon a tree and his Royal Consort the Empress upon another near him What a weighty load did the trunks of these trees support But of what weight had it need be to make the great men upon earth duly weigh what all their terrible and ambitious Grandeur is which in so few moments passes from the height of the felicities of this Life to an Abyss of misery This unhappy Monarch finished his Reign at the Age of 32 years He dyed very soon but it was his misfortune he dyed no sooner For whatever King or Emperour he be who reckons his years which have been exposed to such direful Tragedies cannot be said to have lived such a number of years but to have undergone a far greater number of miseries and calamities The Report of the Emperours death being soon spread over the City those Loyal Subjects who had hitherto resisted abandoned their resolution So that Ly presently became Master both of the City and Court taking up his quarters in the Imperial Pallace where he saw himself possessed of all the prodigious treasures of that vast State and was soon after Crowned in the Court at Pequin and Proclaimed Soveraign Emperour of China yet he enjoyed his trayterous usurpation a very short time for the Tartars reckoning all Obligations of the former League of peace made void by the death of Zunchin and all the Royal Family Soon after invaded the Empire of China and made an absolute conquest thereof forcing the Tyrant Ly to fly and hide himself in the Northern parts of the Kingdom who has not since been heard of Neither did the treacherous Eunuchs escape vengeance for
