same in time do not so spéedely prouide for the premisses and still he earnestly calleth vpon thē to looke well to the present necessitie in time so for their safetie and defense he doth the part of a good carefull Captaine that in the meane time they resisted and repelled the enemies forces for thrée moneths And he telleth them they should lack no helpe that he could performe or procure any way notwithstanding they of the citie being to too negligent and slow in following his aduice in time shortly after for want of better prouision in due time fiue Ensignes of those English souldiers were constrained to step aside to the enemie contrarie to their promise to the States This towne was rescued by cutting certaine bankes and letting in the sea which drowned many of the enemies troupes In the beginning of the next yéere 1575. the King of Spaine hauing victualles manned and rigged a Nauie of souldiers purposely sent to inuade the Netherlands a great part of the same Nauie ariued by contrary winde and weather vpon the coasts of England all for the most part of these ships were such as they call Assabres Pinasses so small as that they might passe thorow the narrow and deepe riuers of those countries who when they chanced vpon the coast of the I le of Wight in England such a friend was the Quéens Maiestie vnto them that by the helpe of certaine her Highnes and subiects ships they were wafted ouer to Dunkerke where after they had landed their souldiers and conueied their treasure which they brought to the Commaunder staying vpon those coasts the latter part of that winter these ships with those that were left in them by huge and terrible tempests there arising were one frushed with the other quite sunke and cast away a thing surely reputed for Gods wonderfull worke This yeere also the States of Holland and Zeland by the chiefe perswasion of the Prince of Orange after much and graue consultation with no lesse aduice and deliberation determined condescended and agreed to make suite vnto some forreine Prince to protect and defend them from the horrible furies and outragious tyrannies of the Spanish gouernment In that yeere 1575. was Ziricksea also besieged by the enemies forces which continued for nine moneths space where when the Prince of Orange had resisted the enemie what he could with men munition and money to his power it was afterwards sore against this good Princes will yeelded vp vnto the Spanish King and his forces in the next yeere following 1576. The same next yeere following 1576. what time the said Commaunder Generall with his Spaniards and others bent their forces to inuade Antwerpe there then the Marques of Hauery being General and Champigny another valiant Captaine for the States ioyned their forces to the full resisting of that inuasion and valiantly withstood the enemie But then the Earle Obersteyn making haste from the Offerlings house in Antwerpe being pursued by the Spaniards thinking by flight to escape that daunger rushed into a Flemmish ship in the riuer where by the way through the heauines of his armour borne downe he fell from that ships side and was drowned At that inuasion also were missing pursued by the Spaniards certaine others of the chiefest personages of authoritie and valour in Antwerpe There then also the young Count Egmont was taken prisoner in the Abbey of S. Michael and with him Capreyse and Gogneyse two Noble men and so caried captiues away Then the Spaniards thus inuading the noble citie of Antwerpe entring it with fire and sword most furiously sacked ransacked and spoyled the same citie in horrible manner so that they were Lords and conquerours of the same by the fourth day of Nouember in the yeere aforesaid 1576. where I note by the way that on the selfe same day when the noble citie of Antwerpe most tyrannously and most lamentably was thus taken burnt and spoyled by the Spaniards euen then the same day Don Iohn de Austria the bastard sonne of Charles the 5. Emperour before remembred and new sent Commander Generall for the King of Spaine came into the Netherlands to gouerne the same As for the late Commander Don Lewis Requisensius when he had so serued his Prince King Philip as Generall of the Netherlands foure yéeres he deceased at Bruxels vpon whose death by the author were written these verses following IN MORTEM LVDOVICI REquisens Regis Hispan Commendatoris magni praedicti in Belgia 1576.

Gertrude He accepteth their proffer made receiueth the hostages and bearing them in hand if he might be beleeued he would remaine either at Machlin or at Louaine where he would further procéede in treatie according to their former request to him so made In so much as the same being on the 5. of Ianuary 1577. condescended confirmed published by the aforesaid Prince of Orange and the States at Bruxels Don Iohn then as it seemed being moued by many reasons to make vnitie with the States promised them first to send away and quite dismisse the Spanish Kings forces out of those Countries and after that maketh them many faire promises on his part to be performed to the number of 19. Articles which were on the other partie likewise by and for himselfe and his Councell on the 17. of February 1577. condescended confirmed exhibited and published But howsoeuer this appeared in outward shew as the Poet saith it fell out Exitus acta probat caret successibus opto For the Prince of Orange and the States looking into his water more iudicially and prudently preuenting the worst sought by al meanes to prouide in time for their owne securitie and safetie and like prospecting Patriotae for the protection of themselues
till that order was then taken for the same when the Merchants Marriners and their ships were released and dismissed but the goods liable to the value of the Spanish Kings treasures was answered accordingly Thus the crueltie of the time and state in the Netherlands increasing most odious vnto other Christian princes it was Gods good pleasure to put into the mindes of the States of Germanie also of Charles the 9. King of France for mitigation of these calamities to enter a league with William Prince of Orange and Count Nassaw to leuie forces of men and munition vnder conduct of the Count Lodwicke of Nassaw brother to the said Prince being also associated with the two valiant Captaines Ienlisij and the Lord of Laxone who with their said forces part Germans part Frenchmē part Dutchmen and part English voluntaries bending their endeuours to the surprising of the strong towne of Mounts in Henault on the 24. of May in the foresaid yéere obtained the towne by fight and possessed the same by strong fortification thereof In that yéere saith my author King Philip vpon suspition that he had of his only son Charles Prince of Spaine that hee should prepare himselfe with habiliments by sea to step away into the Netherlands and ioyne with the States vz. the Prince of Orange Count de Egmont Graue van Horne and others to manage ciuill warres against his father and his Commander before named for that cause cast his said sonne into prison where continuing a certain time he died yet as it was thought by bléeding The foresaid Gouernesse Duchesse of Parma and Placencia departed about the end of Iuly home into Italy being conducted vpon the way to the sea side by the Commander Generall who returning to his Court at Bruxels cited thither the said Prince of Orange Count de Egmont and Count Horne hauing before proscribed them to appeare vpon their alleageance to the King before him as his Lieutenant generall ouer all those Countries The Prince of Orange kept him aloofe out of his daunger the other were taken laid in prison and afterwards beheaded in the Market place at Bruxels In that yéere also was Tergoas besiged the second time by Tseratius for the Prince and the States who was afterwards made Gouernour of Flushing there at Tergoas hauing made his ditches and plotted his stations for his Ordinance to be discharged by and by made he a breach in two places of the walles At the which assault the French souldiers vnder Monsieur and the English stipendarie hired souldiers vnder Captaine Thomas Morgan and others néere vnto the chiefest gate of the towne being 25 paces broade about midnight made entrance into the Citie whilest Creitius the Colonell being by his Frenchmen greatly furthered therein bestirs him to scale the other side of the gate but being countermaunded by the souldiers within sufficiently defending that place both hée and they were repulsed and forced to giue back frō that assault Whereby Mondragon the Spanish Captaine newly thereupon come thither reserued T●●goas from any further siege himselfe and his souldiers wading thorow déepe waters sent thither in great oportunitie by the Commaunder Generall as it were to resist the assault and rescue the towne which was performed with the losse of two hundred English and French souldiers slaine and fallen into the waters there Frederick the sonne of the Duke of Alua hauing béen with his said father very forward in all actions about the 21. of Nouember 1572. with the forces which he had vnder him from his father besieged Zutphen in Gelderland and shortly after tooke it Thus the Duke of Alua hauing with great crueltie gouerned for the King making hauocke of all with little mercie wheresoeuer hée came casting downe strong holds and killing man woman and child to make an end of his mischiefes when now the citie of Harlem in Holland had for her own best safegard receiued the Garrison of the said Prince of Orange pitched there his Tents bringing thither his armie consisting of Wallons and Frenchmen vnder their Captaines also Englishmen and their Captaines by name Captaine Turner who serued there some 8. yéeres Captaine Cotton Captaine Christopher Hunter Captaine Candish Captaine George Gascoyne and others which were all voluntaries and of certaine Scottish Regiments sending thither also all kindes of necessarie victuals furniture and prouision for the said armie thither then came the said Frederick sonne to the said Duke of Alua and with his fresh forces of diuers countries sent thither by the King of Spaine laieth great and long siege vnto the same which enduring from the said yéere 1572. néere at ende till the 15. of August 1573. hée at length preuailed so farre that profligating the Princes armie and dispersing them here and there he entred the same citie and obtained and kept it in possession for the King vsing the inhabitants thereof with no little extremitie About the 20. of August in the said yéere 1573. his said father Don Ferdinando Duke of Alua partly his crueltie being by the King perceiued and partly by the States of the Netherlands complai●●d vpon leauing his said sonne to gouerne and bea●e armes for the King with a conuenient retinue departeth out of those Countries not without many a curse banning and exclamation made vpon him for his farewell whē he had so there tyrannized about the space of 6. yéers little more or lesse Vide Hieronymū Connestagium in Historia Portugaliae The Warres in the Netherlands vnder Don Lewis Requisensius Gouernour for the Spanish King ABout the beginning of October 1573. succéeding the said Duke of Alua came thither sent by the King of Spaine another Noble man named Don Lewis Requisensius he taking gouernment vpon him smally enterprised to purpose in the latter end of that yéere In the next yéere following 1574. he bestirreth him by all meanes possible to leuy his forces to besiege diuers townes and to fortifie some others amongst which when the Zelanders had attempted to besiege Midleborow they so farre proceeded that the towne suffered great penurie and distresse of all things both by sea and by land and by meanes thereof was in the end yéelded vnto the said Zelanders for the Prince of Orange who supported their powers and forces therein What time in the yéere aforesaid 1574. this newcome Commaunder brought his forces to besiege the citie of Leyden one of the chiefest cities in Holland the said Prince of Orange sent thither for safegard thereof vnder Lieutenant Edward Chester an Englishman ten Ensignes or companies of English souldiers all voluntaries who appointing certaine of them for a garrison in the citie procureth the citizens to make speedie prouision of corne and graine for the necessarie sustentation of his souldiers But finding the want thereof at his comming and their slownes in preparing the same at that time he complaineth greatly y t they the lesse regarding or foreseeing the
said sonne Philip married with Mary Quéene of England on the 19. of Iuly 1554. and in the next yéere following 1555. he gaue this his said sonne Philip full possession and principalitie ouer the said Countries of the Netherlands which hee had himselfe so gouerned not without some seueritie 38. yeeres Finally omitting larger discourses of this Charles the 5. Emperour of his so many notable and memorable expeditions in in his life time performed let these few words suffice that he made nine into Germanie seuen into Spaine seuen into Italy tenne into the Netherlands foure into France and two into England which in all were nine and thirtie After all this to make an end of his memorials he resigning vp the Empire and iurisdiction thereof vnto the Princes Electors of the same in the yeere of our Lord 1557. and so leauing Germanie departed into Spaine where he finished the race of his mortall life on the 20. day of September in the yeere of our Lord 1558. hauing been Emperour for the full space of nine and thirtie yeeres The third circumstance is this That his aforesaid younger brother Ferdinando succeeding him in the Empire on the 18. day of March 1558. did so godly and so religiously gouerne the same from his first inauguration thereunto that he had much adoe to be confirmed in this Imperiall dignitie by Pope Paul the 4. of that name Bishop of Rome because he this good Emperour granting peace vnto the Churches of Germanie preferring the Gospell the same Pope Paul withstood him in Italy and thwarted him with warlike forces out of France to come of purpose to Rome there to disgrace and disanull his gouernment euen in that same very yeere 1558. aforesaid This good Emperour notwithstanding perseuering an Imperiall sincere Patrone of the sacred religion to his great comfort saw his sonne Maximilian also chosen and crowned King of Romanes in the moneth of Nouember 1564. And so he himselfe hauing been Emperour sixe yeeres and vpwards was by the God of peace called out of this troublesome world on the 25. of Iuly Anno 1565. The fourth and last circumstance yet not the least which I gather out of my Authors first booke is this That as the said King Philip of Spaine had been from the yeere of our Lord 1555. aforesaid possessed in his soueraigntie ouer the Netherlands vntill this yeere 1565. aforesaid so his father Charles the 5. Emperour in his time was not so seuere an Eagle but this his sonne now becomes as sore a Lion ioyning hands as it were with the Pope of Rome And whereas they two made other Christian Princes beléeue they became right restorers of Christian policie in processe of time they prooued themselues to be destroyers of the peace and weale publike of a good gouernment in sending foorth the Spanish Inquisition as the ground of al the griefe in the Netherlands and the originall cause of the ciuill warres there now following The originall ciuill Warres in the Netherlands vnder the Duchesse of Parma FOr first by the said Inquisition sent from the Pope and the Spanish King into the Netherlands against the professors of the Gospell or of the reformed religion thus it fell out That the King hauing chosen new Bishops for the purpose sent them thither to execute the said Inquisition amongst them They of the reformed religion hereupon exhibit to the Lady Margaret Duchesse of Parma and Placencia sent by the King thither for their Regent and Gouernesse vnder him a little printed booke wherein they craue mitigation of the Kings Decrée hoping as they alleaged that he would not infringe and frustrate their ancient priuiledges and franchises in those points and for that cause they were reputed and called Geusij viz. poore men Which thing being interpreted to the worst in Spaine and sore stomacked by the King they of the reformed religion perceiuing the same fire euery day more and more to burst foorth to quench or at least as it were to auoide the same by publike assemblies at Sermons and conuenient places doe prouide for their profession and for protection of their particular estates Hereupon on the other side began Idolatrie to outface and disanull their doings by the Papists yet for all this the said Ladie Margaret Duchesse of Parma then Regent was commaunded by the King to graunt securitie vnto the Nobilitie of the professors who had béen before suiters vnto her for the same that they might fréely haue their assemblies and Sermons till further order were taken therein Then they of the reformed religion laid away their weapons and some Idolatrous personages were put to death Meane while the Regent hauing gathered vnder her some forces began to sow discord and debate amongst the reformed Nobilitie whereof the lesser part being stirred vp or rather enforced by her menacings and threatnings doe againe take them to their weapons whereupon at Antwerpe did sedition and tumult arise To auoide future daunger William Prince of Orange and Counte Nassaw hereupon departeth out of the Netherlands in happie time Againe at Antwerpe was commandement giuen in certaine places that Sermons should be prohibited and so all things seeme to stand in vncertaintie though some hoped that the Kings displeasure would be pacified To conclude yet so many as were suspected of the reformed religion were taken and violently put to death many others taken endured long imprisonmēt many others fearing worse to come fled these Low Countries dispersing themselues into diuers parts of Europe And all this continued vnder the said Duchesse of Parma Regent for the space of twentie moneths In the time of these troubles and graunt of an Interim to haue frée libertie in preaching the Gospell there fell out a bloodie conflict neere Antwerpe at a place called Austeruile for one Monsieur de Toloze a Protestant suspecting bad practises of the Regent gathered and assembled two thousand souldiers in a fortification not fullie accomplished at the said Austeruile meaning with that force to aide them of Antwerpe if ill measure were offered them which the Regent went cunningly about for she in all secret manner raised a thousand horse and foure thousand footemen and gaue the charge of them to a gallant Captaine called Monsieur Beauvois albeit a cruell man who immediatly marched priuily towards this new fortification and before Monsieur Toloze could make himselfe strong to withstand his enemies the Regents power in the breake of day set vpon the vnreadie and féeble force of Toloze and charged them so furiously and hotly that they entred the weake fortifications ouerthrew the whole companie of Toloze sauing a few that escaped dangerously into Antwerpe among which souldiers Captaine Churchyard saued himselfe and entred Antwerpe Notwithstanding Toloze being slaine and almost all his men the enemie after the victorie gotten marched with all possible spéede towards Antwerpe where fortie Ensignes of the Regents power were in battell on the Market place readie to
