¶ The Aduise and answer of my Lord the Prince of Orenge Coūtie Nassau c. and of the States of Holland and Zeland made by the Estates generall on thisside vpon the Articles cōceiued and and after concluded and accorded ▪ ●n fourm of a pertuall Edict betwéen Lord Don Iohn Duke of Austrich Knight of the Order of the Goldē Fleece of the part and in the name of the Catholick king of Spaine of the one partie and the said generall Estates of the other Translated out of Dutch into English Imprinted at London by Iohn Iugge and Iohn Allde MY Lord the Prince of Orēge and the states of Holland and Zeland hauing seē the credible letterꝭ sēt frō my Lords the generall states of the lowe countries by my Lord of VVillersall and Maister Paule Bays Aduocate of Holland In company of my Lord the Amba●sador from the Emperour and therunto béeing ernestly requested to be brought ouer vnto the aforesaid Lord and Prince and hauing vnderstood ther by that the aforsaid Lords and states destred to haue their aduice vppō any Article concluded on by manner of an euerlasting Edict in the name of the King and confirmation of the peace béeing betwéen the lands ouer and on this side and Dō Iohn of Eastenrick The which Articles hauing been wholy shewed vnto them hauing aunswered and doo answer the same which heerafter foloweth That is to say At the sight of the aforsaid Articles they cannot leaue but commend the ernest zele and great desire which the aforsaid Lordꝭ states doo shewe to haue in setting again our poore distressed natiue Countrey in his perfect quietnes and peace which hath long time béen wished and desired And they vnderstand firmly that the aforsaid Lord and states haue had nōe other regard or meaning in the same then that once they might deliuer these poor oporessed people from so may miseries and calamities wherwith welnigh they alredy haue béen destroyed and ouerwhelmed thorough the cruel and vnsufferable tiranny of the proud Spainish nation and their vnlawful gouernment by them brought in And in the time to come good order and sure remedy as may be appointed that héed after wée fall not in the like daunger with one firm and vnuiolable maintnance of the olde priuiledges lawes and liberties of the lands and that specially hath been their purpose with the aforesaid Articles to defend in all and ouer all the last pacification made and concludes in the citie o● Gaunt the 8. of Nouember last past Such as in all their letters 〈◊〉 and protestations they haue alwaies promised and assured the same beeing surely woorthy of praise and commendation● by all our posteritie But notwithstanding after that the aforesaid Lord and Prince and states of Holland Zeland had perused the aforesaid Articles from point to point according to the present oportunitie of the cause and necessitie of the sāe the which forceth thē to ouerlooke and way all the circumstances like as in the time of our forefathers the which in the like occasions neuer haue left to approue and obtain of their Princes new and commendable Priuileges So then they haue thought that with the aforesaid Articles the good zeal and desire of the aforesaid Lord and states before mentionned is not in all things wholy and perfectly accomplished For first it seemeth that the aforesaid olde priuileges of the lane the which they by all kinde of waies destred to haue established certain byewayes are found which tend greatly to the abridging of the same so that the power and libertie of gathering the generall states togither in them to whom of olde time and right it did appertain couertly taken away as also that the states of the land are bound vnto new bonds and othes hertofore neuer vsed Beside the which men may euidently se the manifest inuiolating of the said priuileges in the vniust withholding of the Countie of Buren who as all the world knoweth was taken and caried away against all lawe reasō and that priuileges of the aforesaid lands the which ought more to haue béen considered of in that at the beginning the said priuileges were so infringed and a matter which manifestly and specially ought to haue serued to the erecting and establishing of the same especially in séeing of one perticuler person the which in no one cause could haue offended whiche giueth small hepe that the same heerafter shal be kept vnto the whose people and Cities in generall Against that which there shall lack no matter for to accuse thē of crimes rebellion Adding therto that in this dealing is handled manifestly against the aforsaid pacificacie of Gaunt and for that it is against the same it tendeth to the subuersion of the whole wherto the aforsaid Articles séem to extend the which more plainly appéereth in that th'approbatiō and agréeing of the same in no part is so plaine and simple as the reason and waight of such a ●ace wel requireth but wholy depending on certain denialis limited and submitted to an vnnumerable of deceitful delayes in all béeing like the same which in the time of madame of Pa … which hath caused this great and terrible bloodshed against the which also was recouered by the Deputie of the aforesaid Lord Prince and states of Holland and zeland protestations and acts belonging to the agreement wel ●eer in like effect doon by the consent of the states Moreouer the aforsaid Lordes Prince and states of Holland and zeland doo finde as they vnderstand some points beeing so cōbersome vnto their natiue countrie that they suppose the remembrance of the same for euer as also vnto their posterit●e should be imprinted an euerlasting shame and stain vnto them in that that we not onely should haue rewarded them their wages that euercharged and vnwoorthely vsed vs but also should tread in composition and agréement with those which wee by open proclamation and the authoritie of the King and of the states haue declared and perticulerly by ●n instruction before t●e states of the holy Empire haue caused to be accused for accent Villayues Rebels the which had made any couenants or conspirasies with the Spaniards And that which is more wée wittingly haue consented and suffered them to cary out of our natiue countrye all kinde of bag and baggage out Iewels money goods merchandise and assesments without any gainsaying Moreouer the aforesaid Lords Prince and states of Holland and zelād do think that there is not sufficiētly seē and neuer wa●ed the respect honour and thankfulnes that we owe to the right noble and moste mightie Quéene of England as also vnto my Lord the Duke and brother to the King of Fraunce the whiche haue shewed their redines with their whole good wil in helping vs with their goods in pulling vs out from the oppressions and slauery wherin we foūd our selues as thē agréeued Therfore reason woulde haue
