THE VVhole and true Discourse of the Enterprises and secrete Conspiracies that haue bene made against the person of Henry de Valois most Christian king of Fraunce Poland VVherupon followed his death by the hand of a young Iacobin Frier the first day of August 1589. Whereby the enemies of the Crown thought to haue reduced brought all Fraunce to their will deuotion Together with the assembly that the king before his death made of the Princes of the blood Lordes and Gentlemen that were in his Armie with the heads of the straungers to whom he declared his last will Englished out of the French copie printed at Caan in Normandie Imprinted by Thomas Purfoote and are to bee soulde at his shoppe without New-gate ouer against S. sepulchers church 1589. The true discourse of the enterterprise made against the Person of the late deceased King wounded wherof he dyed by a yong Iacobin Frier the first of this moneth of August 1589. YF the holy scripture yea God himselfe expressy forbid vs that with threatning vs to fal into the indignatiō iugdmēt of the higher power that we should not in any wise couch or hurt the anoynted of the Lord It is a matter worthy to bee wondred at that hee who calleth himselfe the preacher of the gospel should so far forget himself as that he neither knewe nor vnderstoode the will of God who so greatly esteemeth and ordaineth to be honoured respected the partie to whom hee committeth the the gouernment of a common weale although he vse rigoure and seueritie And who I pray you from time out of mans memorie can giue vs testimonie of so wretched an act and so worthie of euerlasting blame to haue hapened and to haue bene committed and perpetrated in all christiandome as that which is yet all bloodie in our Fraunce committed against our so gracious and mercifull King Henrie de Valoys King of Fraunce and Polande An act verily vtterlie vnworthy a christiā that would not be beleiued to haue bin exercised amongest the most barbarous nations of the world We find yea in the holy scriptures themselues that there haue bine reuoultings discontentmēts contradictions and murmurings and that in the ende many people haue raysed wars against their kings and princes by reason of the great subsidies impostes and heauie burthens and other charges that were layde vpon their shoulders very h●●● vneasie to be borne But it is not found that there hath an assault and murder ben done nor conspired against the Soueraigne authoritie Wee read of Salomon who had imposed and layd vpon the backes of the people that were committed vnto him by the authoritie of God importable burdens wherewith the subiects felt themselues 〈◊〉 and wholy ●●ressed Ieroboam 〈◊〉 welbeloued s●r●●imt albeit he had receiued 〈◊〉 by A●●as the auncient prophet of God that 〈…〉 raigne 〈◊〉 ten tribes of Israell and that 〈…〉 but o●● of the tribes remaine in the 〈…〉 yet the said I●●oboam being at 〈…〉 had rather 〈…〉 ●●a●omon and 〈…〉 him Not 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈…〉 and his 〈…〉 the kingdome 〈…〉 of the people was 〈…〉 when hee 〈…〉 supplication to the king to ease them of those heauie burdens that his father had layde vppon them Whereto king Roboam woulde not yeilde and they went there waies very greatly discontenced And the sayd Ieroboam raigned ouer tenne of the tribes of Israeli who crowned him kinge ruler ouer them But they long continued not in that estate but the vengeance of God fel vpon them after the death of the saide Roboam And amongest all that is written of this goodly historie in the booke of Paralipomenon the 13 and 14 chapters in the first booke of Kings the 1.2.3.4 other Chapters following there is no mention made though ther wanted no means of the peacusing amongest them of any other meanes nor of any other kinde of assaulting the king though he were constrained to flie vnto Ierusalem nor of Abias his sonne that raigned after him VVee finde also that in the warres many kings haue bene smitten slaine Others also by the iust iudgment of God haue bene killed and wounded by diuerse straunge mortall woundes The reuerence due to the king aswell in the warres as otherwise hath bene and yet is in so great accoumpt that there is an obseruation in the warres when the King is there in person to crie alowde Saue the Kinge faue the King They will aledge it was done vpon wrath and indignation for that which was executed vpon Mounsire de Guyse by hys Maiesties commaundement I aunsweare them it is not the part of a seruant nor of any other whomsoeuer to make himselfe equall and euenlyke nor to compare himselfe with the authority power or highnes of an Emperor King or Magistrace who executeth and disposeth of his affaires as pleaseth himself and according to his good counsell After whose example and in imitation of hym if perticuler persons shoulde take vpon them to make ordinaunces and to entermedle in the rule gouernment of the ciuil estate the affaires of the kingdome What order what gouernment what iustice should we haue therin To whom might it be said that the obedience were due which we protest to yeild in the name of God to our superiours whome he hath ordeined and established ouer his people There is no question nor controuersie but that a long time there hath bene verie secret practising against the king For his maiesties owne selfe hath often discouered verie euident tokens therof whereby hee might easilie bee perswaded of their canckred hearts toward him As may appeare by the serching and sifting that the house of Guize hath made as being descended from Charlemaine vpholding the Bulle of Pope Stephen in the behalfe of Pepin king of Fraunce and of his wife with their two issues males one of the which was the saide Charlemaine the which bull next after the consecrating anoynting of the regality in the person of the said Pepin and his wife by the same Pope conteinech a iudgmēt of curse against them that should presume to enterprise the french scepter preuaile to obtaine the same except they were such as should discend from the said Pepin his race There haue ben other sufficient occasiōs brought to light which I will passe in silence But I wonder why they laid that so long aside and opposed not themselues to them that haue raigned sithencs that time I wotte well that they haue ruled and gouerned in Fraunce in their time and that nothing was done but what they allowed for the most part And to alleadge at this daie that the king had hardely dealt with them hee that had brought to light so many sinister dealinges and enterprises They indeuoring and purposing to aide and defend themselues with a league and association in a manner of all the townes and communalties of all Fraunce where they could get audience This kinde of proceding
