lately deceased in England gave him a place in his privy Councell advised with him touching the managing of his greatest wars then in Flanders and made shew to be governed by his onely advise and counsell yea honoured him with the most plausible name of Father and treated with him so familiarly that the popish party began to murmur and say that Charles their King not onely favoured that Hugonet for so in France they nick-name the Protestants as our malignants and papists in England call true Christians Puritans and Roundheads but would they scared shortly himself also become a Hugonet yea I say so extraordinarily and so extreamly as I may say did the King seem thus to hug and honour this most Noble and renowned grave and godly Admirall to free him from all suspitious and relucting jealousies which sometimes were put into him by the advisement of some of his deare and faithfull protestant friends that like honest hearted good Gedaliah touching Ismaels treacherie he could now taste no admonitions or feare any unfaithfulnesse his honest-meaning spirit was so transported with the Kings counterfeit countenance and bewitching words But now see how when all things were ripe for the ensuing wicked worke all those favours and faire worde all K. Charles his deep vowes promises and protestations proved but so many sugred baits to swallow down the smoothlier the Kings most base and bitter pils of horrid and inhumane treachery For when as I say the designed day was now come and all things ready for plotted and resolved ruine and destruction First this good aged Admirall securely reading a petition was suddenly shot at with a Harguebuse which instantly tooke off the forefinger of his right hand and sorely wounded his left arme whereof the King being presently certified by the King of Navarr and the Prince of Conde ô how he swore and tooke on for seeming sorrow ô how he vowed with most bitter execrations to take such speedy and severe revenge on the actors of this outrage as to make his justice exemplary to all the world and fully satisfactory to the good Admirall and all his friend● Whereupon great search was made and the Harguebuse found but the actor having a brave Spanish gennet at the doore below waiting on him was fled and gone and there was all was done For all this proved but a preparatory to a far more bloody Scene and accursed Catastrophe now instantly intended for now the good Admirall being conveyed into a bed-chamber for cure within a day or two at most after this the Duke of Guise by the full consent of King Charles the Queen-mother and others privy to the plot set strong guards of Swissers and such like bloody villaines about the Admirals lodgings and bed-chamber whereinto a servant of the said Dukes first boldly enters and with a naked Sword runnes at the good aged Admirall as he lay wounded in his bed and instantly and desperately thrust him through his body with his Sword then doubles the blow on his head another shoots him into the body with a pistoll a third sorely wounds him on his legs as he lay and then they cast that most Noble and renowned personage dead on the floore whom living and in health the proudest papist in France durst not in a martiall w●y looke in the face This done the devillish Duke of Guise caused his dead body to be cast out of the window to him into the street and those butcherly villaines hurld him downe headlong unto him who having wiped the blood from his besmeared face he said Now I know t is he and so despightfully spurning him with his foot he left him and then set forward the rest of the murtherous and massacring work all over Paris in which interim they left not this noble Admirall thus but an Italian of the Duke of Nevers houshould one of the complotters cut off his head and instantly carried it to the King and Queene-Mother who joyfully causing it to be enbalmed sent it shortly after as a choice present to the Pope for an assurance of the death of his most capitall enemy in France Nay the rage of these French Romish Tygers rested not here but like so many mad-Dogs the rest of the ignoble rabble ran to his dead Corps and one cuts off his hands another his privy-members and for the space of three dayes they dragged his dead carkasle as the Grecians did Hectors about the walls of Troy with all inhumane indignity through the streets of Paris and then hang'd up his thus poore mangled body by the heels on a Gibbet and ceased not this most horrid and hellish massacre till they had most lamentably murthered at least 10000 Protestants men women and children in Paris besides many thousands more in other parts of France at the same time Yea and yet to adde more to all the impiety of this popish therfore faithlesse King He sending now for the King of Navarr and the Prince of Conde gave them both to understand even from himselfe that all this was done by his own speciall command and with all peremptorily resolved the death of both these young Princes too if they on his threats had not as wretchedly they did renounced their religion turning Romish Catholike against the light of their consciences to save their lives and enjoy their honours And thus you have summarily seen the sad effects of this most perfidious princes former deepe vowes promises and protestations And therefore let all the World judge whether in this case that be not most true Jurat Crede minus non jurat credere noli Iurat non jurat hostis ab hoste cave That is Does thy foe swear none of his Oathes believe Swears he or sweares he not fear hee 'll deceive The other example is little inferiour to this former for Popish barbarity and perfidious disloyalty and that was of Ferdinando late Emperour of Germany father of the now present Emperour which in brief was thus After that this Ferdinando had for his disloyall violation of the Bohemian Lawes immunities especially by introducing the Jesuits among them to tyrannize over their Bodies Estates and Consciences been deposed and dispossessed of that Kingdom over which being Electorate the Nobility whole State of Bohemia had chosen him their King afterward by the unanimous consent of the said Nobles and Magistrates the Prince Palatine of the Rhine unhappy son in Law to King Iames of England was in his stead chosen to be their King according to the fundamentall Lawes and power of that Kingdome But not long after it so pleased the Lord the Almighty and most wise disposer of all things that at the great battell fought neere Prague by Bucquoy the said Emperours Generalissimo the Palsgrave the foresaid new elected King of Bohemia's forces were quite defeated and overthrowne by the said Bucquoy and thereby the famous and ancient City of Prague was reduced by conquest to the obedience of Ferdinando this being about 24 or 25 yeares agoe
