Christendom which he knew wel the King their Master did desire with that vehemency so he brought Ashton to joyn with him in pursuance of the busines which was at so fair a pass that they both made of them a great number of rich Liveries against the wedding day the Infanta went by the name of Princess of Wales and the English Ambassadors wold not be coverd before her she had got som extraordinary Masses to be sung for the Prince's safe return to England She had divers new Sutes made for the Prince of rich perfumd Cordovan som embroyderd with Perl som with Gold some with Silk She studied the English language and wore Chapins or high shoos which no young Ladies usd to do in Spain till they are either betr●thd or married Moreover the King of Spain had a purpose to make a Daughter of his a Christian and his Sister a Wife the same day and to that end had commanded that the Baptism and the Marriage shold be solemnizd together to which end a long Tarass was raysd from his Royall Palace to the next Church all coverd with rich Tapistry All the Grandees were summond to be then at Court and the great Ordinance were ordered to be discharged in all the Maritime Towns upon such a day So the long wishd for Ratification came at last compleat and full but as the Stars wold have it as the busines was upon its last period there come four Posts from England within the space of 24 hours with a new Commission from King Iames to the Earl of Bristol intimating that wheras he treated before singly of a match he shold now joyn the Palatinat with it and have a categoricall conclusive answer from the King of Spain for the restitution of it for he wold not marry his son with joy and leave his daughter in tears This struck a strange kind of consternation in the hearts of all men at Madrid who wishd that the Postillions which brought the new Commission to Bristoll had all broke their necks on the way the Infanta retird her self and wore a kind of mourning for som daies and an universall sadness appeard in all faces Hereupon the Earl of Bristol going to the King of Spain to demand a surrender of the Palatinat He answer'd that it was not in his power to do it for hee could not command an Emperour in whose hands it was with whom if England would entertain a Treaty if the Emperour and the Duke of Bavaria wold not com to terms of reason the same arm which got the sayd Palatinat for his Oncle the Emperour shold joyn with the King of England to reconquer it for his son in law But this not satisfying Bristol receiv'd Letters of Revocation and so going to take his leave of the King he pulld off a ring of 1500 l. price off his finger and gave it him sending him afterwards a Cup-board or old Plate valued at 20000. duckets The Prince at his departure left a great rope of Pearl and many boxes of Jewels more for the Infanta valued at 400000. crowns but she would not receive any till the Nuptiall day so they were kept in the custody of one of the Secretaries of State But notwithstanding that intelligence was sent how the two Treaties of Match and Palatinat were dissolv'd by act of Parlement in England and that they were preparing for a War yet the Spaniard comanded the sayd Jewels to be deliverd up to the English Ambassador which after were sent safely to England Out of the premisses it may be inferrd that the Spanyard did really intend a match with England which he saith he hath not broken to this day In Spain the King was young and his Favorit old it was clean contrary in England which made the world abroad to wonder that King Iames shold be transported by the Councell of a young Favorit as to suffer him to strain the conscience of his son so far as to break the Match now most remarkable it is that as the Parlement serv'd him for an Instrument to do it so the Parlement was the chief instrument afterwards of his ruin Thus the Spanish Match which amus'd the world so long and assorded such matter of discours was suddenly dashd that Fabrique which was a rearing so many yeers and brought to such a point of perfection that it only wanted a cover fell down in a moment A little before these times the Duke of Ossuna a little man but of a mighty spirit was Vice-roy of Naples where he had comitted more extravagances then any Vice-roy ever did He raisd a War against the Venetian for a property of Dominion in som part of the Adriatic gulph wherin he causd the Signory to spend much treasure but afterwards it was found that this War was grounded rather upon the Capricio of his brain then any just reason Therupon the King of Spain sent the Cardinall Borja to seize upon the government of Naples and send home the Duke prisoner if he found cause The Cardinall carried the busines very privatly and being com to a little Iland neer Naples the sagacious Duke smelling somthing sent a Bishop to entertain and wait upon him but it was indeed to serve as a Spy to observe his motions The Cardinal made a shew to go a hunting one day in a Sedia wher he had appointed one to be habited just like him in another Sed●a the Bishop being in the Field all the while and seeing a man like him in the Sedia he thought the Cardinal was still there but the Cardinal had privatly got away to the Marine where he had a Soldiers habit for a disguise and a Felucca ready for transporting him to Naples leaving the Bishop waiting stil upon the counterfeit Cardinal in the Field having divers confidents in the Castle where the Duke was he got thither at the close of the day over a small draw-bridg and surprized the Duke so signal being given to the Town the Bells rung and the great guns went all suddenly off so the Collaterall Councell came to salute the new Vice-roy and Ossuna was sent prisoner to Spain with these severall accusations Accusations wherewith the most faithfull Citie of Naples doth charge the Duke of Ossuna I. THat against his Majesties will he entertained a great number of Soldiers who by their miscarriages have committed many outrages rapes and robberies and if any complaind against them the Plaintiffs were sent away with threatnings and checks insteed of satisfaction from the Duke II. He did put his Majesties patrimony in distribution as it appeares by the accounts of the Kings Chamber besides he wasted much of the common treasury of the Town depriving her of many priviledges III. When he sent Soldiers to be billeted in divers parts of this Kingdom the poor people to rid themselves of the trouble charge us'd to resort to the Marchiones of Campolataro whom they were forced to bribe with presents to do them good offices IV. He causd

PItty O pitty for all hopes are vain Releive my oppressed Christians That they be not torn to peeces by Barbarians O our Father These are they who under the hard Cross Have made and will make war against Thee And they wold use thee worse if thou wert on Earth Which art in Heaven When these Scabbs enter our houses Devoutly with their Beads in hand They seem so holy as if their mouths were Hallowed They make themselves Masters the first day And look about what things are fit for Prey Then they prophane a thousand times a day Thy name The first thing a Spaniard doth He skulking goes in every part of the house And if there be any thing that like 's he sayes Let come Bring hither Sirrah he sayes unto the Master With a swelling breast and such high looks As if with the Giants he wold assault Thy Kingdom Sirrah bring here those Hens and Capons Or els I will hurl thee out of thy window So he obeys saying with a trembling voice Thy will be done O Lord I implore thee for thy passion To free us from these ravenous Wolfs And grant that justice may be done In Earth as it is in Heaven And if perchance we have any thing in store And reservd for another time They presently cry out and bawl Give us this day A poor man who goes to gain a living At the yeers end can scarce put up a penny For these Spanish Dogs continually devour Our daily bread And if by chance they go upon the score Which they too often use to do With swelling words and threats they say Forgive us our debts And we must do it with speed Wiping off their Scores in their presence So that we must forgive them not As we forgive our Debtors Great God restore us our liberties With our ancient Laws and Customes Under the Iron yoak of Usurpators And lead us not We livd far better under the French But under this

deliver us from evil While these Tyrants sit at the Healm And grind our face ni this manner Lord it cannot be sayed that Naples For thine is the Kingdom IT hath been formerly related how illfavoredly matters went betwixt England and Spain after the return of the Prince of Wales for the Treaties both of Match and Palatinat were dissolvd by Act of Parliament where the Puritan bore the greatest sway and the Duke of Buckingham made use both of Parli●ment and Puritan to bring that work about but there being at that time two Ambassadors extraordinary in England and finding that it was chiefly by the practises of Buckingham that the Match was broken they practisd also how they might break his neck and demolish him likewise King Iames was old and they knew the least thing wold make impressions of jealousie in him therfore by a notable way of plotting they gave him intelligence at a privat audience of a dangerous conspiracy against his Royall Authority by the Duke of Buckingham and his Complices The manner of which Conspiracy may be best understood out of the following memoriall or information that Sir Walter Aston remaining still Ambassador in Spain did present unto that King which was as followeth and being so remarkable a passage I thought it worthy to take place here To the King SIR SIr Walter Aston Ambassador to the King of great sayth that the King his Master hath commanded him to represent unto your Majesty that having declard to your Majesty the reasons why he could receive no satisfaction by your Majesties answer of the fift of January and that therby according to the unanimous consent of his Parliament he came both to disolve the treaties of Match and Palatinat he hath receivd another answer from your Majesty wherin he finds less grounds to build upon and having understood that neither by the Padr Maestro or your Majesties Ambassadors who have assisted these daies passd in his Court there was somthing to be propounded and declard touching the busines of the Palatinat wherby he might receive contentment The sayed Ambassadors untill now have not sayed any thing at all to any purpose which being compard with other circumstances of their ill carriage he gathers and doubts that according to the ill affection and depraved intentions wherwith they have proceeded in all things but specially in one particular they have labourd to hinder the good correspondence and so necessary and desired intelligence should be conservd with your Majesty Furthermore he saith that the King his Master had commanded him to give account to your Majesty that in an Auaience which he gave to the Marquess of Inoiosa and Don Charlos Coloma they under cloak and pretext of zeal and particular care of his person pretended to discover unto him a very great conjuration against his per●●n and Royall Dignity which was that at the beginning of this Parliament the Duke of Buckingham had consulted with certain Lords and others of the arguments and means which were to be taken for the breaking and dissolving of the treaties both of Match and Palatinat and their consultations passd so far that if his Majesty wold conform himself to their counsels they wold give him a house of pleasure whither he might retire himself to his sports in regard that the Prince had now yeers
Armes till the confirmation of what the Vice-roy had stipulated before were com from the King of Spain as it was agreed it shold be sent three months after In the mean time Don Iohn of Austria was com hard by with a Fleet of five and forty Galeons and sent word to the Citty that if they were desirous to have a peace and generall pardon the people shold lay down Armes and send them to the Vice-roy to the Castle this they wold not do but offerd to lay them up in their houses untill the Treaty shold be concluded so matters fell off the hinges more then ever the three Castles shot at the Town by Land and Don Iohn by Sea with his great Guns from his Galeons and Gallies which made such a hideous noise as if Heaven and Earth wold meet and in the Town the huge Canons from the Tower of Carmine played incessantly so there grew a perfect War twixt the Cittie and the Castles a great number of fair houses were burnt heads chopd off and the great Bell of Saint Laurence rung out for signall of War The Spaniards on the one side put all to fire and Sword the people on the other side burnt the Goods and destroyed the houses of any whom they suspected Many bloody Skirmiges happend in divers places Don Iohn sent a Cavalier of quality to the Captain-Generall of the people to know the ground of this fury and why they were so active in their own destruction with the ruine of so many innocent Souls and such a glorious Citty but word was sent him back that when the Confirmation was com from the Court of Spain they wold send him a civill answer till then t was but just they shold stand upon their Guard and repell any force by that power which God and Nature had given them for the defence of themselves and their liberties together with their Wives and Children yet with this resolution to continue in a constant obedience to his Catholic Majesty and not to listen to the enchantments of any forrain Prince who began to tamper with them already for a Revolt The Duke of Mataloni in these Confusions did many materiall Services to the Spaniards by sending them recruits of horse and foot from the Country At last the people grew jealous of their Elect and Captain-Generall Prince Turaldo and so gave him his pass-port to hasten to the other world without a head so they chose in his place one Gennaro Arnese a man of a far inferior quality In this hurly-burly the French King sent the people a proffer of two millions of gold with twenty Galeons eighteen Gallies and forty Tartanas which message was sent by a person of quality from ●he French Ambassador resident at Rome The Citty embracd the proposall and so employd an express to go to Rome and treat so a little after the cry up and down the streets of Naples was Viva la Francia let France live and in som places let the Parliament of England live which continued divers daies Don Iohn of Austria and the Vice-roy having notice of these practises twixt the Citty and France were much troubld therat thereupon they got the Pope to us● his Spirituall Armes so this Nuncio in Naples desired to have audience in his Holines name Gennaro Arnese gave it him all clad in cloth of Silver the Nuncio told him that he had receivd an express Mandamus from his Holines brought by a person of quality to exhort the City to conform to a serious treaty of peace otherwise the holy Church must do her duty Gennaro answerd that there could not be expected a sudden answer to so grave a message therfore the most faithfull people desird som respit of time to consult of it so the Nuncio parted and som did laugh in their sleeves at him insomuch that this message took no effect at all The next day after there was a Feluca discoverd chasd by two Gallies but narorwly scaping them she came safe to Port she brought in her the Duke of Guise with foru Servants only who was all this while at Rome he was receivd into the Town with wonderfull applause he told them that his Christian Majesty had an Army in a readines to assist the most faithfull people so they resolvd to make him their Generall and the next day he went to the Arch●bishops Palace to take an Oath of fidelity to the people which he did upon the hearing of Masse and receiving the holy Communion Now the Napolitan Nobles had a considerable Army in the Country about therfore the Duke of Guyse desired to have six thousand Foot and a thousand Horse to go find them out which he did at Aversa but he was utterly routed with losse of above three hundred upon the place and many more wounded and so returnd to Naples The sixth of December there was a Truce concluded for three howers during which time Don Iohn sent notice to the Citty of a Letter sent from his Catholic Majesty wherin he ratified all the Capitulations of peace agreed on by the Duke of Arcos the Letter being sent to the Elect of the people and communicated to the Duke of Guise the sayd Duke seemd to exhort the people to accept of it in regard their King had therin made concession unto them of so many signall graces Therupon the Rabble of the people boyling with heat cryed out that they wold be cut to peeces rather then be slaves to the Spanish Nation any longer therupon the Duke took a Medail from his brest and told them his Christian Majesty had given him that Medail for a pledg that whensoever he sent to him for an Army he shold have one forthwith and he told them there was one already prepard therfore he desired that som Felucas might be dispatchd towards Tolon to hasten their coming which was done accordingly So it was decreed that the Duke of Guise from that day forward shold be treated with Highness others w●ld have him in imitation of Venice to be tearmd Doge of the Napolitan Republic A few dayes after the French Fleet was discoverd which consisted of eight and twenty Vessels the arrivall therof did fill and affect the whole Citty with such a tripudiant humor of joy that people went dancing and singing up and down the streets The French Fleet appeard in form of a half Moon but durst not com in reach of the three Castles or the Spanish Fleet then in Port but kept their distance yet they landed divers sorts of Provision for the use of the Citty they came up to the point of Pusilipo and got off cleer again The first day of the yeer there came Letters from divers places in Apulia that they had twenty thousand good Combatants in a readiness to assist the Royall Republic of Naples The Duke of Arcos began now to be disaffected by the Royall party as well as by the people insomuch that the high Collaterall Councell in the Castle sent him
