Hee that hath largest walkes of lande is most charged with the entries of his wines corne and flesh with the dobling of subsidies with the impost of hostries let vs goe farther hee that hath most lande hath vsually most matters in law and therefore to speake vprightlie it is we that are charged with new presidēts councelers lieutenants offices c. It is we that paie the alternatife receiuers for the spices and are to wage the hereditie of the begging atturneies The launce is first stroken into y e skinne of the pesant of the marchāt of y e officer of the atturnie c The first blood the first siluer cōmeth from them and out of their purse but they fill them selues againe out of the higher partes they licke them selues hole at our cost For the peasant hath skill inough to enhaunce his labour and fruites the marchant to cast his accountes to rayse the price of his marchandize the officer by perticulers to bring in the graunde sum that he hath disbursed the atturnie to enlarge his lignes and set a greater rate of his writing and steps Finallie all of them doe recouer what they haue paide aforehand and of whome forsooth of the gentleman who sticketh to his losses and haue no further or higher degree where to recouer himselfe Concerning our honours you remember that in their protestatiō they shoulde restore each thing into his eminencie lodge euerie one according to his degree cause the gouernmentes to be restored to those from whom they pretende them to bee taken c. And because some men were vexed euen at the heartes to see certeine gentlemen about the K. which through his fauour and good will had at once atteyned to the greatest honours this argument did they vse to poyson vs with all but you maie call to mynde that when the peace was concluded there was no one word spoken thereof neither seemed they to restore anie one of those for whose sakes they seemed to take offence And as for those whome in their vvritinges they so mangled they haue since most vildlye sought their fauours and endeuoured by all meanes to binde them to them and in deede you and they see them both greater and in further auctoritie then euer before I here meddle not with the kinges choice I touch not their deserts I knowe there is no dignitie so great but is opened to the nobilitie or to which the arme of vertue can not reach but onelie I would haue you marke what pretēces they make and howe they doe dallie with vs at pleasure also that we may know that they vse our displeasures our mislikes and our greefes and so sone as they haue done with vs they remember vs no more At the least they haue done good to the Cleargie They haue done somewhat for the Church their chiefe pretence the Clergie that pauned foorth themselues and with so good a vvill sould themselues for them Let vs see they promised to disperse the Protestantes of Fraunce and now beholde they haue more firmelie vnited them Marke how they haue reunited and reconciled them with all other Nations Englishmen Frenchmen Germains Danes Scots Swethians and Switzers see also how they haue made them to associate themselues with our Catholike Princes and the chiefe Lordes of this Realme The faction of the Religion groweth to vnion and ours euen manifestlie disperseth it selfe howe much better had it beene to proceede by holie admonitions by gentle conuersation and by good examples meanes peraduentute too gentle for the vnpatient but at the least healthsome and assured peraduenture lesse agreeable to the pretended Phisitions of our sicknesse but at the least profitable but at the least nothing dangerous to the diseased What had the Cleargie then gained which of all the Bishoppes notwithstāding whatsoeuer his charges cā saie that he hath bene made whole againe that he is anie thing amended by their armies Naie to the contrarie haue not the Lords of Ambrun Lodeue St. Pens others euen of late lost their Bishoprickes How much of their temporalties must they sell for the recouerie of them by force Will not all their affection and heate of pledging selling and contributing bee first wasted like smoke But wil you also see that it was but a pretence The capteins of y e league doe skirmish together as it seemeth For when there was anie speeche of preaching in France they wrested foorth the kings Edict expreslie to stoppe it yet haue they permitted and consented that the Gentlemen of the contrarie part compounding for their houses shal haue free exercise of the Re●igion so that from their saide houses they make no warre against thē They haue offred the like cōditiōs to other townes castles and particular persons They suffer the reistres in the middest of their armies to haue their ministers and sermons who haue preached in their Churchyards and Churches yea and celebrated the supper openlie in their campe That which they permit to some whie should not the K. permit to all Wherefore maie not the K. permit that to his Subiectes which the so voluntarilie doe suffer in strangers Wherefore shal that be a ●●te of heresie in the king which in them is zeale of the Church meritorious or veniall Wherefore shoulde it bee damnable or mortall to their Superior These men haue in the end robbed and polluted the holie places these men haue spoiled and ransommed the preestes and monckes these men vnder pretence of pietie haue committed 1000 impieties these men vpon a merriment haue soaked out all our goods drowned vs in all mischiefes Of such and so great inconueniences what good can redound to vs to the commons to the nobilitie to the cleargie particularlie or generallie And who did euer anie mischiefe at the least if he list to be obstinate in it but for hope of good But maie I yet sale more what good haue they done to themselues For God hath in such sort cursed their actions that in the meane time while they weene to fee their confraries in the Townes vnder pretence of that authoritie that the warre granteth them The best place● that they had surprized are withdrawen from their subiection Agen Auxonne with some other though newlie bought againe by the K. and restored into the League And note that vpon the least discontentment this example will shortlie bee followed in all other places What followeth Sith this League is vnprofitable to it selfe also that was is hurtfull to all Seeing that in one and twenty moneths being in greatest force it hath done nothing to anie purpose but in lieu of going forward hath lost ground what shall wee doe but haue recourse to some other remedie● and neuer stande obstinatelie in this in this corosiue and venemous Antimony which expelleth both good and bad together and manie times the good rather then the bad which vnder colour of driuing foorth the hurtful humors wil make vs voide blood and peraduenture our liues in the blood Truelie we must addresse our selues to our king hee is a mercifull Prince and one that loueth his people ●ee knoweth that a king dieth in the ●eath of his Realme he is vndoubted●●e wounded in vs deeper then our●●lues he wil pitie himselfe in vs and ●● our woundes Let vs therefore pri●atelie open them vnto him shewe ●im such as threaten vs. Let vs with ●pen throate tell him what harme the ●eague doeth vs. Let vs beseech him ●ccording to his singular wisdome to ●●nde some remedie some durable re●edie such as maie consist with the ●sposition of our bodies some such ●●medie as our weakenesse can beare ●●me such remedie as maie conuert ●●pple the humors not such as wee●●g to purge shal wholie ouerthrowe ●●r bodie Let vs aboue all thinges ●aie to God to turne the sweete eie of ●●s mercie toward vs For who is able ●● beare the rigorous countenance of ●●s iustice That it maie please him ●●th his spirite to assist our King in ru●●g his Scepter That he will vouch●●fe to inspire him with good councel ●●d to raise him vp good Counsailers to endue him vvith force and courag● to heale the humors and to stoppe v● the vvounds of this Rea●lme that to saie to quench the cursed subtleties of the league so to restore a holie happie and permanent peace to this Estare
