❧ An Aduertisement to the KJNG of NAVARRE to vnite him selfe with the KING and the Catholique Faithe Beeing in trueth a very slaunderous false and seditious Libell against the said KING o● NAVARRE and other Christian Princes made as an answere to his Book intituled Th● Declaration of the KING of NAVARRE a● touching the slaunders published against him c which is heer extant in English But this beeing subtilly conuayed vnder pretence of winning him to the Romish Religion is therefore the rather set downe in the same nature as it is written to showe a wicked minde against GOD the King and the sinceritie of true Religion Truely translated according to the Copy Printed in French To the Reader BEfore thou enter into this discourse Gentle Reader I am to admonish thee of certaine speciall poyntes whereof I would desire thee to haue some regarde First as concerning this Pamphlet it is made as an answere to a very modest and dutifull declaration written by the KING of NAVARRE to the King his soueraigne Lord as concerning the slaunders published against him c. And heerin by many needlesse shifts and palpable cauilles he laboreth to inueigh against the saide King because of his Christian Religion and for that he wil not stoup to the man of Roome In al which windlasses he dooth but waste time with high woordes and termes of disgrace against those who with all humilitie are content to beare the heauie yoke for their maisters sake which the aduerssenes of the time laieth vppon them and God hath appointed to make triall of his Children Secondly for the contempt he maketh of Religion and aduauncing of the inuentions and traditions of men flatly condemning the Christians who leane only to the woord of God contained in the olde and new Testament and who will beleeue no other doctrine though an Angell should reueale it from Heauen I doubt not but his childish grosse and absurd reasons will be very easely perceiued and specially of the learned who knowe that better wine neuer comes from such vessels nor greater reasons from such sencelesse cauillers therfore rather to be pitied for their folly then enuied because we will shewe more Christian charitie Lastly where he inuaieth against our Cuntry of ENGLAND and entreth into matters aboue my reach I must leaue them to the Iudgement of such who are better acquainted with such high poyntes albeit I beleeue them to be meere false and vttered vpon a mallicious stomack What els is in this lewd ●nd slaunderous Pamphelet of bad na●ure as it is all or hurtfull to any as I ●ould be loth I leaue it to the good consideration of such who dayly beholde the mallice of Sathan and his ministers against the godly and well inclined and therfore to ioyne with me in praier that God wil either soone amend them or end them FINIS ¶ An Aduertisement to the KJNG of NAVARRE to vnite him selfe with the KING and the Catholique Faythe SIR I doo not think that it were sufficient for you to flatter your own humour with the succession of a young Prince healthfull and welbeloued of his Subiects as our King is except considering the state wherin you now stand it were expedient and auailable for you to followe the councell which many take occasion to giue you vpon the chaunce which now of late hath drawne you néerer to this Crowne But because that God often sendes vs many likelyhoods of some prosperitie néere at hand not to the end that we should assure our selues of the end therof But the rather that vpon the doubt of the euent we may change the present condition of our life Therupon I hope that the King our Lord wil not mislike if I set before your eyes how néere you are to his succession to preuaile therwith so farre as it will extend towards you in the estate wherin you are and not as a thing to be hoped for of you neither to be wished for by any other Now it is credible enough that you being such a great Prince in a Realme where the people are séen to be deuided by the contrarietie in religion and beléef as God hath suffered this to be your Maiestie hath on both sides many seruants who are all desirous of your prosperity and doo imbrace by a common vowe the establishment of your good fortune But in respect of things present and those which may be iudged to happen héerafter it is not hard in deliberation to to knowe which of them beareth moste good will to your seruice Those Sir who moste of all haue respect to the welfare and benefit of their Cuntrie and euermore haue cléeued to the fourmes ancient institutions and faithful obedience to their Maister cannot be in any wise suspected to wish maliciously any mutation or chaunge in this estate wherin all things are to them peaceable and happy for so much as they knowe them selues to be in the fauour and good grace of their Prince respected and bearing the good will of the people and estéemed of them who vnder the Kings authoritie haue the gouernment of the Lawes and pollicy of the Realme Furthermore no more hope to be reposed in you then in any other cannot make them desirous to sée you weare this crowne for if you had vpon the chaunce of a Dye lost your parte their good behauiour past and the remembrance of their fidelitie will nothing deminish their hopes whosoeuer shal be lawfull King to finde all fauour and good countenance But if amongst those that haue taken in hand to giue you councell there be some which for the bringing in of nouelties wherby they haue made the estate their enemie haue not their owne estate in good assurance it is your part Sir to Iudge which of them you estéeme to giue you the soundest councel either of such as in danger of shipwrack holde you fast as it were to the Mast or some other sure holde yet deluding you with imagined hopes but beneficiall to their interest or of such who hauing no occasion of feare doo expect of your good Fortune no better condition then that they enioy at this present and make account of ●he same héerafter whosoeuer shall lawful●y succéed in this estate As for the one we néed no better proofe to ●howe you that they giue you no other coun●el but that which they think beneficiall for ●hem selues and not for you If you would consider and mark what they tel you that your return to the Catholique Religion should be but in vaine because it wil neither be acceptable to the King or profitable to the Catholiques therby they sufficiently discouer the consequence which they wil inferre which is that you ought not to haue any other consideratiō of what Religion you be sauing for the profit which you may bring vnto them that doo likewise imbrace the same This I will graunt them alwaies that neither the King nor the Catholiques his good Subiects are drawen by any other respect to call
