of Nature to the meanes of preseruations and so by the coadiutement of the Swisse their neighbours they not onely acquainted their confederates with the miseries that had plunged them into the gulph of discontent but implored the assistance of many Princes to remember the Antiqua foedera not suffer them to be forsaken in this losse of their Liberty and troubling of their conscience amongst whom it is said that one Andrea Planta was sent to the Signiory of Venice with intimation of their Estates and imploration of their helpe who was so well entertained that his message was not onely accepted but many faire promises returned to their satisfaction his Message had these or the like passages The Grizons message to Venice HIgh and Mighty I come not to renouate your memoryes concerning the combination betweene vs and the amitv of our Countries nor to meddle with the cause of Religion which of it selfe were sufficient to moue a pitty but to plead the policies of State and vrge an ancient position by way of Caution Tum tuares agitur paries cumproximus ardet your Marchants cannot Traficke into Germany and vent the commodities of your Countrey for now all is stopt or blockt vp so that you must with a vigilant eye fore-see the danger to come and preuent the worst you see what is done already neither could the Snow of the mountaines nor the Mountaines themselues the passages of the Woods the cut out-wayes the steepy ascendings the plashing of the pines the anfractus of the Hilles the roaring of the Waters the danger of the pits hinder them but they are come thus farre already They began with the Fort Fuentes they continued with their Garrisons in many places and now they haue ended in a manner with the possession of our whole Territories so that if this inundation be not stopped iudge your selues whether it will flow if it breake down the bankes if we be not relieued in time may it not proue a rub to gall others aswell as our selues therefore I leaue it to your further consideration and so without either aggrauating the cause or exasperating the aduersary I conclude that there is no husbandry in letting these plants ouerspread the ground To this effect was the Message of the Grizons but their Answer was not published onely it was whispered that if the King of France did not send the Duke de Rohan as principall Commaunder they would inuite Count Mansfeld to vndertake the busines and be Lieutenant Generall of those Forces which should be there imployed in the meane while they fortefied all the maritine Townes of Histria and Dalmatia filled the Gulph with Gallyes and sent two Galenzes to lye betweene the point of Calabria and Candy From Geneua The great resort of Noble men and women out of Germany the Grizons and France in the time of these troubles and persecutions to Geneua as a sanctuary hath filled both the Towne so the Countrey that a great dearth and famine followed insomuch that Wheat exceeded our rates a Bushel is worth twenty shillings sterling whereupon the Magistrates feared some greater mischiefe as that the Duke of Sauoy would take aduantage on their distresse and pestring of people because they heard of diuers Mustrings and that the King of France determined to meet him at Lions But God hath the keyes of the hearts of Princes and openeth and shutteth them at his pleasure so they heard no more of hostile inuasion nor a word was whispered of any proiects against them not withstanding they stood on their guard and besides their continuall Prayers within had as continuall Garrisons and watches without so that withall care and diligence they fortified their Ports and manned their Fortifications yea such was the especiall fauour of God towards them that all other prouision bare low prices and for all this scarcity of Corne their very neighbours and aduersaries I meane the Catholike Cantons and Bazill it selfe supplyed their wants and contributed money to their reliefe From Spaine They write from Spaine that howeuer the Souldiers in their fury haue proceeded in the Valtoline yet haue the Inhabitants bin offered faire Conditions of Peace remaining in quiet possession of their estates so they will disclaime the dependancy on any other States acknowledge the King of Spaine their Lord and Protector but whereas report hath sent abroad diuers Thousands of Duckets to pay the Soldiers and discharge some Debts of importance and accompt the truth is the siluer Fleet is not yet arriued but rather is so watched by the Holanders in those parts that they cannot make that speede as is desired so that there is as great complaining for want of money as euer before notwithstanding the King not onely enlargeth his Court but hath proceeded very nobly in diuers reformations and set downe especiall ordinances for the augmentation of his owne honour and detention of the Subiect in modest rules of duty and obseruation so that neither can euery man come to the Court as they were wont nor those that come passe to such places as they accustomed From Fraunce It hath pleased God so to diuert the King from prosecuting the warre against his Subiects that heere is euery where a cheerefull face of concord and amity and we doe not heare of any man that hath opposed against the message of the Swiss and Grizons but that the King is willing to admit of their imploration for the defence or if you will regayning the Valtoline for which purpose there hath beene reciprocall Embassies betweene the Duke of Sauoy and him as farre as sending of Presents and resolution to continue a peace but they neuer met in person onely the Prince of Piemont and his wife haue beene at Lions and great ioy is made on all sides for the hopes men haue to thriue in their expectation especially considering the Archbishop of Rheimes proposeth nothing but obedience to the Church and an Vnity in Religion disclaiming the Iesuites intermedling with State matters and pestilentiall deuises to set all in an vprore againe there hath passed diuers courtesies betweene Duke Hespernon the Prince of Condy the Duke of Guise and others of that side and the Dukes Rohan and Subiss with the Duke of Bulloigne himselfe as for the mustring of Souldiers and great preparation of diuers Armies there is no such matter as yet more then a coniecture that if the King will vndertake the businesse of the Grizons it cannot be done without sufficient forces and worthy Commaunders From the Palatinate The waters haue come downe so fast this Winter that they haue remoued Tilly from Frankendale where that worthy Sergeant Maior Borregh hath not onely defended the place but made many sallyes to the endamaging the Enemy and supplying his own wants but as I beleeue neither Bauaria ●or he hath a purpose to continue there For they neither fortifie themselues nor repaire the decayed places or broken ramparts but rather demolish such holds as may be made inexpugnable
