haue a quite contrarie operation That the treacherous enterprises vpon Citties and Forts of the French Kings giue great occasion that some day or other a sodaine tirrible reuenge may be vndertaken That the Bookes and famous Libels and odious Ballades whereby they seeke to make the French King and his proceedinges hatefull in the Commons hartes and to make the Rights of Succession of the Crownes of Fraunce and England doubtfull are nothing e●●e but idle prepositions onely tending to the iritation and prouoking of their Maiesties And that in vaine it is attempted to rayse tumultes and dissentions among the Communaltie of th' united Prouinces since that the● prayse vnto Go● their Conditiō considered are in estate a hundred times better and more assured then the Communaltie on the Spanish or their Highnesses side and that they not hauing any reason of mistrust in their lawfull Magistrates nor of their actions do beare themselues most quiet and obedient But that to the contrarie the Commons of the Spanish or Archdukes side beeing that all matters do dayly ware worse and worse That the authoritie of the States Prelats Princes Lordes Nobles and Citties of the Counties both generally and perticulerly more then euer tosore is troden vnder foote and reduced to no regard nor respect Yea that a●l matters haue their foundation and ground vpon Straungers with a deiection of all worthie Inhabitants and home-borne Nobilitie not only in the gouernement of the pricipall Citties and Fortes but ●ufficiently in generall in euery thing except that sometime heere and there Proforma in some matters they seeme to doe some thing to the purpose the which also they once beeing Maisters would soone leaue aside That the Countries and Inhabitants are robbed disrobed and disfurnished not onely of a●l trafficke negotiation nauigation welfare and dealings but also the very three fourth partes of the good Inhabitantes are vtterly destitute of all meanes of maintenaunce The principall Citties conu●rted to Doue-cots the Villages and Countrie groundes euen brought to the extreamest poynt of pouertie eaten vp and ransackt by the men of Warre and ●et the Soul●iers themselues to ill payde that the mutenie o● one partie cannot be appea●ed but there are two l●ke or worse to be expected And that in brie●e it is most euident that all ●ill fall into a most apparant dangerous desperation This then all considered we pray your Excellencies Lordships Worships c. that in effect the nee●efull remedies heereto may be taken in hand and ministred And namely that it may please you to effect thus much as that their Highnesse will vouchsafe to depart out of the Netherlandes to purchase a more quieter and securer partage or portion At which time it wi●l be little difficult for your Excellencies Lordships Worships c. and vs together to make the Spaniards other Strangers to follow them and for the best part of their adherentes to make and conuert vnto good and worthy Netherlanders If now by any one this were helde for an Impossibilitie that your Excel●encies Lordships Worships c. could not securely take nor vse this courte that it may please them then to the contrarie to beleeue that if in case your Excellen●es Lor●sh●ps Worships c. will furnish vs with so much Money and meanes for sixe Monethes as importes the halfe of the oulde or●inarie Taxe of Brabant Flaunders Artois Haynolt Valencinen Lylle Douay Orchies Namen Tournez●e Tourrage and Mechelen to the same which through Gods gracious permission we inten●e this ●eere to performe in maner of Warre And in respect of their Highnesses keepe themselues quiet or tall to vs which we put to your Excellencies Lordships Worships c choyce and good lyking that the matter by Go●s helpe shall be brought to that passe that your Excellencies Lo●dships Worships c. themselues shal iu●ge therein to be most apparant lignes of good successe And touching th' assurance whereon diuers kinde harted and well enclyned persons trouble themselues are kept backe and stand reselute your Excellences Lordships Worships c. shall them selues set or hold such orders as well of the Gouernement as of Religon as themselues shall thinke most meete and conuenient neither neede to put any doubt therein but may be assured that therein by vs nothing shal be done nor attempted Assuring moreouer your Excellences
