THE LAST VVILL AND TESTAMENT of the Marquis d'Ancre TOGETHER WITH HIS Araignment His Obsequies His Wifes teares on his death The Re-union of the King with his men of Warre The rousing of the Soldat François All declaring the diuine iudgement of God on the death of the said Marshall d'Ancre Out of the French Copies printed at Paris and Roan BY WISDOME·PEACE BY PEACE PLENTY LONDON Printed by Felix Kyngston for William Arondell at the Angell in Pauls Church-yard 1617. THE DIVINE IVDGEment of God in the death of the Marquis d'Ancre OH the iust iudgements of God! oh profound and incomprehensible counsell of the Almightie oh soueraigne decree of the diuine prouidence That man is vnhappilie perished that sought to ouerwhelme vs in miserie He that with a disloy all heart would haue procured a tragicall end to France hath tragically ended his daies by the hands of true-hearted Frenchmen and hath buried himselfe in his owne pride that would haue buried the greatnes of Princes and built an absolute power in the ruines and decay of this perpetuall Monarchie But what do I say buried O wonderfull prodigie O prodigious wonder That same man hath bin by the people vnburied and depriued of the sweete repose of the dead who in his life time had depriued France of a peaceable tranquillitie hath bin ignominiously hung vp as a treacherous and calumniating Haman on the same erected gallowes which his owne naturall crueltie and art of wickednesse had ordained for such good Mardocheoses as vndertooke to complaine of his tyrannie or to discouer the many practises of his treasons and disloyaltie against our King Moreouer they hung him with his heeles vpward as if his head so monsterously culpable durst not so much as behold the heauens was with great disgrace and infamie shamefully dragged through the stinking puddles and dunghils of the Citie of Paris he that long since had drawne vpō himself the cords and snares of the diuine iustice and who had infected France with the ordure corruption and stinking sauour of his vices hee which sought to dismember the body of the State himselfe was dismembred and torne in peeces was burned and consumed in the flaming fire who would haue burned and consumed the libertie of the people with the fire of his violence his ashes were scattered in the winde to shew the puffe of his own ambition which was so suddenly turned to ashes He beleeued that the bright skie of his authoritie was free from any cloudes the cleere sunne of his dominion without eclipse the lightsome day of his glorie voyd of darknesse the vast sea of his greatnes without tempest the roses of his good fortune grew without pricks and that all the felicities of the world were perpetually to shine vpon him But hee suddenly found his authoritie lost his dominion smothered his glorie extinguished his greatnesse troden down his good fortunes changed and felt that his former prosperities were but a sweete impoysoned baite of fortune turned into the gall and bitternes of all mishaps Hee was put to death by the Kings command that would haue commanded the King hee ended his daies with violent death that violated the respect due vnto his Maiesty violated Iustice violated the lawes and hee that was indeed altogether nothing but violence it selfe hauing climbed so high that hee could not well be brought low but by death it selfe which Iustice confirmeth the Law approueth and equitie commandeth Right counselleth Reason ordaineth Histories allow and that precedents teach and that cannot be taken in euill part without contradicting the approbation authoritie commandement counsell ordinance confirmation and teaching of the whole world and to accuse of iniquity Iustice law equitie right reason histories examples and all that may be termed vprightnes in the whole vniuerse The infection of his life therfore hath been most iustly but yet with too much honour mingled with his bloud in the midst of his as I may terme thē Court-gallyslaues who did inconsideratly adore the blind Idoll of his greatnes Whence may be learned that vice neuer goes vnpunished although to be vicious of it selfe is punishment sufficient Mounsier de Vitry most faithfull to the King hauing brought both his heart and hand together to the execution of so heroicke an act that Histories shall perpetually record to the memorie of men and shall flow from the pen of the most learned within the Temple of immortalitie No no it was not earth but Heauen had the greatest stroke in his death it was the hand of Angels more then men and the sentence of his tragicall end was first pronounst in Gods counsell before the King decreed it By which it may be gathered how neere this good and wise Monarke is vnited vnto the eternall God in his minde and soule seeing that the will of the most High who holdeth the harts of Princes in his hand agreeth so well with the Kings and that the Protector of the whole world hath been well pleased with the desires of this great King thereby to manifest his consent vnto his wishes Hee ended the course of his life entring into the Louure where he thought himselfe so firmely anchred that hee was neuer to depart thence and felt the icie stroke of death by pistols and fiery weapons who in the midst of his frostie cowardise and temeritie was the kindler and flaming fire-brand of sedition who with an ardent appetite greedily longed to trouble all France with the fire of Ciuill warre And whereas the skie had bin long before euen in the fairest moneth in the yeere ouerspread with a gloomie darknes as being inwardly touched with remorse of our sensible griefes which ascended thither seemed to mourne at our sinister mishaps and to mingle its continual drops with the bitter teares which ouerflowed the eyes and hearts of all true-hearted Frenchmen who could not without extreame griefe vndergoe that vnreasonable tyrannie or as if it would ioyne its moysture together with the bloud which the ouerruling of this execrable Tyrant caused to be spilt by a furious and more then Ciuill warre euen at this instant begā it to re-assume the brightnes of its countenance and to cherish the earth with its seasonable mildnes euen at the fearfull image of this mans death neerely resembling that Herennius who was strook with lightning the skie being without cloudes and the ayre bright and cleere as if by the calmenes of the weather the calme of Peace would be represented vnto vs which France is shortly to enioy by meanes of this long wisht for death and that with his bloud he was to extinguish the flames of warre which his ambition had vnhappily kindled a warre that fought against the publike peace the vnion of subiects the ioy of friends the Kings authority the strēgth of Frenchmen and the good of France a warre that was the motiue of many wars and such a warre whereof his Maiestie desired as much to see an end as of a warre that turned good things into bad
