conceiue by this briefe recitall that Cochino was borne in Florence of poore and meane place and as such an one grew to affect amorously a Ioyners daughter who was called Leonora Galligaia as men said she being placed at the first as an inferiour chamber-maid with the Princesse Maria de Medices whose close stoole shee oftentimes clensed and emptied within a while her continued seruices ioyned with some liberality of minde and spirit obserued in her brought her to be raised and preferred to be in the said Princesse her chamber as an attendant gentlewoman which Princesse at last comming into France to be ioyned in marriage with Henry the Great the said Elenor came along with her and she was also followed by Cochino when arriuing at Marcelles a little boy of about twelue yeeres old was able with all ease to carry their whole luggage and furniture being a French youth and a Parisian borne who died not long since of a dyssenterie or bloody flux in the street called de Beau-bourg when the Princesse came to be Queene out of a franke and most noble disposition she aduanced all her followers and peculiarly the said Elenor who humbly requested her that shee would permit her to marrie the said Cochino which at last she compassed with the Kings pleasure and consent Then either of them insinuating themselues more and more into the Queenes fauour they grew to great fortunes and meanes by commending vnto their Maiesties diuers mens sutes who hauing occasion to sue vnto them were vrged by important occasions and businesses of what nature or quality soeuer God at last for our own vnworthines called the King to his mercy depriuing vs of that glorious Sun leauing to succeed him Lewis the thirteenth whom God maintaine and prosper being then but ten yeeres old who presently by the generall voice and consent of all France was inuested in the flowers de Luce and acknowledged for King and the Queene his mother a lamentable desolate and disconsolate Ladie by the same generall consent was proclaimed Regent The naturall benignitie and noble inclination of this great Queene suffered her not to feare either deceit or trecherie but being her selfe of an vntainted and innocent soule shee thought euery one had the like especially such as were so farre fauoured to come freely into her Maiesties presence and had the credit to speake to her in priuate Now was the time when this ambitious Cochino began by the instrumentall offices of his wise to depraue and detract from the Kings loyall and good seruants for presently hee then caused Syllery the Chancellor and his brother to be dismissed and driuen from his presence and vnder the cloke and colour of Iustice to take from the Parliament of Prouince their resplendant Sonne vnder this colour to propagate his ambition and yet this presently not giuing him such full contentment he must needes take from him the publicke Seales for to conferre them vpon one of his owne creatures then hee must needes remoue from about the King Mounsieur le Cheualier de Vandosme his beloued Minion then his faithfull seruant Luynes forthwith his vigilant and carefull Physitian Erouard and then his good Counsellors presently he gaue one office to one another to another to conclude at one instant he cast al these Officers in a mould the Keeper of Seales the Secretarie of Estate and the Controller generall of the Treasuries by little and little contesting with the greatest for the place of chiefe Gentleman of the Kings chamber vsing all the power possible to marrie his daughter with Mounsieur the Duke of Longueuill who no waies bending to this contract was in great danger to haue lost his gouernment of Picardie and all his credit at Court being inforced to eclipse and retire himselfe During these entercourses that sage Prince the Count de Soissons was called to heauen whose gouernment the Queene kept in her owne hands to appease the great iealousies of those that were competitors for the same constituting therein Cochino somtimes Marquesse d' Ancre and Marshall of France for her Lieutenant Here then you see him Lieutenant of Normandy being Master Commander of the principall places in the same which he fortified with Bastions Ditches and Cannon which he conueied thither out of the Arsenall at Paris But while these occurrents thus passed he drained the Bastile of foureteene millions bitterly checked that Imperiall Parliament about the demonstrations of his disorders preuenting the Princes and great Lords from conuenting and assembling therein At last he found a meanes that the Princes forsooke the Court and Mounsieur le Iay President of the said Parliament the Kings most loyall and trustie seruant was committed prisoner to the Castle of Ambois vnder a colourable and counterfeit pretext he procured that neither his Maiestie nor his faithfull Counsell gaue any eare neither to the manifestation of Mounsier the Prince nor to the complaints and intimations of the other Princes One of which that is to say Mounsier de Vandosme he caused to be imprisoned but that he made a cunning and subtile escape so that by these meanes he laid the foundation of a dangerous warre and of great leuies of souldiers arming neere kinsmen one against another as Mounsier de Guyse against Mounsier de Mayenne his cousine germaine and thus ruinating the Kings poore subiects so that at last by the wise and discreete courses of my Lords the Dukes de Neuers de Ventadour Chancellor Syllery and other ancient Officers of the Crowne a good Treatie should haue been drawne the King being then at Tours and the said Lords Princes at Loudun But because the said Cochino perceiued that the power of these the Kings two faithfull seruants to his minde crossed his ambitions making rather vse of his owne ministers and vpstarts whom himselfe termed Agents of a thousand Frankes of whom he had to the number of eight hundred and wonderfully abusing the Queenes exceeding clemencie and bountie as also the feare and iealousie that both by himselfe and others he possessed her withall that she should be carefull of her selfe and of the Kings minoritie and youth he caused Mounsier the Prince to be takē prisoner on a thursday the first of September anno 1616 and so consequently all the rest vpon this dispersing themselues not daring to returne they were proclaimed Rebels attainted of high Treason all their goods confiscated part of which came into his own hands and then three Armies were hereupon raised to take the spoile of thē and so bring them in aliue or dead Mounsieur de Guyse went of the one part to seaze on Mounsieur de Neuers whom hee dispossessed of many places on the other side Mounsieur de Montigny and Mounsieur the Count de Auuergne went directly to Soissons with 40 Canons Cochino by an imprinted letter promised to the King foorthwith an Armie of fiue thousand foote and eight hundred horse which he entertained for foure moneths at his owne charge sending

out in the meane while three or foure hundred Spyes or Intelligencers ouer al the countrie especially into Paris that by this meanes he might discouer and know all such as ordinarily exclaimed against his Tyrannie causing diuers gibbets to bee erected within the citie whereupon to hang his opposites though they armed themselues but for the Kings true and faithfull seruice While all this thus passed the Kings loyall seruants who saw their Masters captiuitie and the vnworthie entreatie of his Maiestie being now of yeers of greater maturitie and ripenes they conuented together and began to enter into a sacred vnion to shake off this yoke of Cochino and all his assistants which aimed at the destruction of all the Princes and so to seaze on their goods I meane not only of those absent and withdrawne as my Lords de Vandosme de Neuers de Longueuille de Bouillon and de Mayenne but also of them present as my Lords the Count de Auuergne de Guyse Ioinuille the Cardinall of Rhemes then of my Lords the Prince of Conde prisoner and Count de Soissons very young but endued with an excellent spirit and a noble impe of great expectation and hopes for his Prince and al France then of the most eminent Officers of the Crowne then of Sieur Erouard chiefe Physition one most loyall to his King of Sieur de Luynes and at last of the King himselfe All this effected Mounsier should haue been seated in the Throne very young the Queene-Mother Regent himselfe Maior of the Palace which dignitie he meant againe to re-erect and then in a little time hauing all the authoritie in his owne hands no body opposing nor contradicting him al the race of Bourbon cleane extinguished through the sudden death of Mounsier the King Cochino should then haue been mounted vpon the Throane and then his wife being made away by some priuie practice of his owne he might haue married whom he would at his pleasure Here you may see a well wouen web for the amputation whereof God who alwaies preserueth this kingdome put into the heart of Lewis beloued of God the spirit of wisedome and vnderstanding as he did sometimes into Salomon and so strengthening the arme of Sieur de Vitry his faithfull Gardian and Captaine caused it to discharge his iust choller vpon the head of this Salmonéas which being too fauourably dealt withall according to the opinion and iudgement of the people when he was buried secretly in the night they dis-interred at high noone day and thinking him vnworthie of buriall they dragged his corps to the foot of Pont neuf there hung vp by the feete on a gibbet he had lately erected then they cut off his nose and his eares pluckt out his eyes couched his head cut off likewise his armes and shamefull parts this being done it was trailed againe through the streetes of the Citie beaten and laid vpon with cudgels part of it burnt before his owne house and some of it once againe retrailed and burnt the second time and what remained was at last throwne into the water Now the longer they had been mute no man daring to speake against him the more they talked sung and writ so loudly and publikely that all the streetes re-echoed with the exulting ioyes and outcries of the inhabitants The blow was no sooner giuen but a miraculous change and alteration was obserued ouer all France especially in Paris for euery one assumed to himself a new forme through such an admirable pleasure and contentment The Armie before Soissons was presently by the Kings commandement dissolued the Lords de Vandosme de Neuers de Mayenne de Longueuille fell downe incontinently at his Maiesties feete who receiued them with a free and royall heart to the confusion and shame of all Cochinoes creatures who at the arriuall of that graue and prudent Chancellor whom his Maiestie sent for and reconfirmed him of his Counsell of the Lords de Vair restored to the keeping of the publike Seales President Ianin and Villeroy together with others who had been formerly dismissed and chased away by this Haman vanished and were dissipated like mists or fogges at the arising of the Suns cleere beames Cochinoes life sometimes Marquis de Ancre and Marshall of France requires a great and entire volume to expresse and relate it at large the which attending and expecting from the learned penne of Piere Matthew in his Historie I haue here abridged in as briefe a forme as possibly I could for a note and marke vnto those which may peraduenture heare talke but of a parcell of his infernall ambition and to be a iust terror to all such Nimrodes from attempting to scale the heauens and to bandy against lawfull Kings who are the annoynted of the Lord principally against such spirits and mindes voide of all gall or bitternes but clement and tractable being of the same yeeres that our King Lewis the 13 beloued of God is for whom all France ought daily to pray that he may be preserued and blessed with a most long and happie life God through his omnipotent holy fauour and grace daily guard and defend him for vs together with al the faithful Princes and Officers of his Crown guiding and instructing his heart for the maintenance and propagation of his holy Church and the benefit and comfort of his poore people Amen FINIS
