the thyng that might assure vs of the execution of our charge The same may also ser●…e vs for answer in respect of their cōsistories in as much as both before our commyng yea and euē before there was any publike preachyng the Protestants kept their Consistories for in dede they had their consistories euery where euē in all rymes also because that although we neuer cōsented vnto them yet we neuer saw any likelyhood of trouble to insewe by meanes of them It is very true that to let the assemblyng of the cōmon people vpon euery occasion I affirmed and thought good that some should be appoynted to deale in the name of all the rest because I saw no way els to performe my charge and to mainte●…e and preserue the peace and to auoyd all confusion and disorder Againe I could not perceiue that any inconuenience or danger should folow of their buildyng of Churches as some surmized seeyng that a Church could cause no more euil than a house or any other place and that for as much as I was sent to kepe the citie in peace and tranquilitie it behoued me for the auoyding of all inconueniences rather to disappoynt the occasions and purposings of attaynyng thereunto than to styrre vp prouoke the parties by impeachyng the erection of a Church or by any such other meane a●…d so to giue occasion of other troubles whiche it should haue bin impossible to haue ouerruled afterward without doy●…g directly agaynst our Commission and without settyng of all thynges in a broyle Also this may serue partly for a solution to the last part of the foresayde Suminons which conteyneth that I should suffer the leuying taxing and gatheryng of money to be imployed afterward vpon the reteynyng of souldiers and men of warre For I know of none other leuyinges taxations and gatheryngs than onely such as were made afore my commyng for the reliefe of the poore and the maintenaunce of the Ministers and af●…erwarde for the buildyng of the Churches And it shall neuer be found that any collection was made to my benefite or imployed vpon the leuying of souldiers or vpon the intertaynment of men on myne owne behalf by reason wherof I should haue apparant occasion to suffer the said taxations and collections Moreouer my refuzing of the fiftie thousand Florens that were offered me from the accountantes by the Sates of Holland for the good ser●…is that I had done to the kyng and the Countrey duryng the troubles by appeasing the vprores there dooth as I thinke sufficiently shew that it was not mine intent to suffer any such collections taxations and leuyings which it was not otherwise possible to let in Cities of traffike as in Antwerp where ther was in maner nothing els but gatheryng of money for diuers purposes For as much therfore as I haue most euidently as I hope shewed that no euyl or inordinate affection of mine vpon any ambitious desire to vsurpe aboue the authoritie of the kyng wherof all our countenances sayinges and doinges haue bin cleare yea and cleane contrary to it hath bin the cause of any trouble as wherby we could not haue hoped for any benefite so that I was not the cause of any innouation that might set the people in any broyle or vnquietnesse but that on the contrary part the sayd Cardinall of Granuill was the cause of al the said innouations and of al the mislikyng that was ingendred afterward betweene the king and the people by his vsurping of extraordinary authoritie aboue all the Counsels yea and euen aboue the Regent in hope to mainteyne augment and increase the same his authoritie by institutyng of new Bishops by confirming of the Inquisition and by renewyng of the Iniunctions to satisfi●… his owne ambition and couetousnesse whiche caryed hym away so headlōg at other times also that he dyd set dissension and mi●…iking betweene great Potentates yea and euen betweene the late right high and happy Princes Charles the Emperour and his brother Ferdinand and his sonnes I thinke that such as are of iudgement and haue experience in matters wyll not sticke either to acquit me of the mischiefes and inconueniences that haue happened in the said coūtreys and of the alteration of the appara●… felicitie thereof into extreme bon●…age penurie and wretchednesse or to charge the said Cardinall with them whom men go about to set vp againe in authoritie by the ouerthrow and destruction of the countrey in recompence not of any good seruis of his for the which had he done neuer so many and so great good turnes he and his had sufficiently cut out their own shares already without leauyng any part to the discretion of the kings maiestie but of the mischiefes inconueniences abouesaid and to giue hym oportunitie to worke mo wheras al our seuices done to the great damage and hinderāce both of vs and of our auncetours of whom some haue dyed in his seruis and euen at the fe●…te of his Emperiall maiestie are forgotten and we spoyled not only of our goodes by trifling false and surmised causes reasons and allegations and by such kind of proceedings as are vtterly against all right law and custome as hath bin shewed heretofore and by an other writing of ours but also of our honour and our childe which are things dearer to vs than our lyfe all which is to the preiudice not only of vs but also of the kyngs maiestie of whose couenants bonds othes and promises there is no regard at all had which is so vnorderly vnreasonable and spitefull a kind of dealing as it can not be auoyded but that it must one day breede some inconuenience which I beseech God that the kyngs maiestie being inlightened with his diuine brightnesse and light may turne away and preuent and rightly take intelligence of the dooynges of his good seruants and faithfull subiectes which are now wrongfully selaundered persecuted and afflicted so as the world may know that the thinges which haue passed proceeded not of his maiesties own nature but of the misreportes tales and sclaunders of such as haue disguised the truth and
