directions to tell your Lordship which he will transmit unto you by Letter now he cannot goe him● selfe that whereas it is insisted upon by the Pope that the Children of this Marriage should be brought up Catholiques under the Mother untill they be twelve or fourteen yeeres of age His Majesty having limitted their education under the Mother onely to seven yeeres NOTE His Majesty is contented to yeeld thus much farther that howbeit in the publique Articles which in that point he desires not to be altered he mention but seven yeeres he will oblige himselfe privately by a Letter to the King of Spaine that they shall be brought up sub Regimine Mairis for two yeeres longer that is untill the age of nine yeeres if that will give any satisfaction which your Lordship may manage as you see best for His Majesties service And so I rest Saint Martens-lane Octob. 14. 1622. After this about the 25. of October King Iames writ a private Letter with his own hand to the Earl of Bristoll which Secretary Calvert sent away with all speed and secrecy by Master Gage to limit the Spaniard unto two moneths to gaine the Popes Resolution and Dispensation from Rome as is evident by the Copy of this Secretaries Letter to the Earle from St. Martens-lane Octob. 26. 1622. The King of Spaine hereupon deludes King Iames with faire dilatory promises as if he intended the hastening of the Marriage but how farre he was from any such reall intention is evident by this Letter of his to his grand favourite Conde of Olivares dated the fifth of Novemb. 1622. found among the Lord Cottingtons papers THe King my Father declared at his death that his intent never was to marry my Sister the Infanta Donna Maria with the Prince of Wales NOTE which your Uncle Don Baltazar understood and so treated this March ever with intention to delay it notwithstanding it is now so farre advanced that considering all the aversnesse unto it of the Infanta it is time to seeke some meanes to divert the Treaty which I would have you find out and I will make it good whatsoever it be but in all other things procure the satisfaction of the King of Great Brittaine who hath deserved much and it shall content me so that it be not in the Ma●ch To colour the matter the better he pretended no Dispensation would be granted at Rome unlesse the Pope received further satisfaction in the time of the Childrens education by the Mother and point of Ecclesiasticall persons exemption from all secular jurisdiction to remove with obstructions King Iames was content to comply in these particulars further then he had done before as His ensuing Letter to the Earl of Bristoll clearly demonstrates which Letter was drawne and written for his Majesties signature by Master now Lord Cottington theu Secretary to the Prince To the Earle of Bristoll RIght Trusty c. We have seene your Letters of the 21. Octob. both those directed unto Our Selfe as also to Our Secretary Sir George Calvert and in them doe observe your discreet proceeding both in the businesse concerning the restauration which We expect to be made to the Prince Palatine Our Sonne-in-law as also in the Treaty of the Marriage of Our deare Sonne the Prince of Wales Touching the first We perceive what professions the King and his Ministers have againe made unto you of a resolution to assist Us with his Armes in case by a faire Mediation and Treaty the restitution may not be obtained and how much in that kind he hath ingaged his Honour and his word unto you And howsoever the order given to the Infanta for the reliefe of Manheim arrived so late and after the Towne was yeelded into the hands of Tilly yet must We acknowledge it to be a good effect of your Negotiation and an Argument of that Kings sincere and sound intention By what We have now given in charge unto Our Secretary to advertise you in his Letters you will understand the present estate of this businesse and how constantly VVe doe still expect the performance of that ingagement from the King of Spaine without giving way to any thing that on Our behalfe may any way disturbe it And therefore you shall now doe well in Our name to presse him to a finall and effective resolution representing to him and to hi● Ministers how much it concernes Us in honour and in reputation besides the interest of Our Sonne-in-law not to admit any further delay And as touching the two points in the Treaty of the Marriage wherein you desire Our further direction and resolution you have by this time understood by the dispatch which George Gag● carried you NOTE how We were contented to permit the breeding and education of the Children under the government of their Mother untill the age of nine yeeres which We doubt not will give good satisfaction seeing their demand is but vntill ten yet seeing it is but one yeere more in case you shall not be able to draw them to be contented with nine We will not sticks at it And for the other point which concernes the exemption of the Ecclesiasticke from secular jurisdiction We shall be contented that the Ecclesiasticall Superior doe first take notice of the offence that shall be co●mitted and ●●●cording to the merit therenf either deliver him by degradation to the secular Iustice or banish him the Kingdome according to the quality of the delict which VVe conceive to be the same that is practised in Spaine and other parts Your dispatches are in all points so full and in them VVe receive so good satisfaction as in this VVe shall need nor to enlarge any further but onely to tell you that VVe are well pleased with the diligence and discreet imploying of your endeavours in all that concern●s Our service and so are VVe likewise with the whole proceedings of Our Ambassadour Sir Walter Aston Thus VVe bid you heartily farewell From New-market 24. Novemb. 1622. The King of Spaine after many delatories and much pressing by King Iames and his Ambassadour for a finall answer to his demands touching the Pala●mate and Match on the 12. of Decemb. 1622. returned this Answer in writing The Answer appointed by his Majesty to be given unto the Earle of Bristoll Extraordinary Ambassadour from the King of Great Brittaine touching those things which he hath represented from the said King unto his Majesty concerning the Marriage now in Treaty and the businesse of the Palatin●te is this which followeth Touching the Marriage THat his Majesty hath given order that his resolution be delivered unto him in writing and therein as the Earle of Bristoll himselfe hath seene hath endeavoured what he may to conforme himselfe with that which the King of Great Brittaine hath answered unto the Popes propositions so desirous hath his Majesty been from the beginning to overcome all difficulties that might hinder this Vnion that both here and at Rome he hath not slacked
