SIC CREDE Printed at London for Cuthbert Burby and are to bee solde at his shop vnder Saint Mildreds Church in the Poultrie 1593. ARTICLES BY diuine and humane right HENRIE of Bourbon ought to be acknowledged of all kings princes Lordes and common-wealths of Christendome especially of the naturall French-men the most christian king of Frāce and Nauarre 2 And so as he ought to be assisted by them in his defence against the Spaniard chiefe of the League who is risen vp to suppresse the libertie as well of the Church as of the French gouernment 3 All those which do discharge themselues of such a dutie do obey the commaundement giuen by the prophets Iesus Christ and his Apostles 4 All those which doo the contrarie are declared to be seditious mutinous and rebellious by the expresse word of God and by the holy Articles of the holy Catholique and Christian church 5 They also declare themselues enimies of nature and violaters of the fundamentall lawes of the realme 6 By their loosenes rebellion treason they tread downe his honour dignitie and the excellencie of his name 7 They manifest themselues fauters of heretikes murderers of their king vsurpers and destroiers of his Crowne 8 Consequently they are scismatiques diuiding in peeces the three estates of the realme the which they doo perpetually desolate and send the poore soules into euerlasting destruction 9 They are execrable periurers breaking the oath which they owe to God to their king to their Countrie 10 They cause this realme to be stinking and infamous to all the nations of the world by their vnnaturall and dishonest rebellion 11 All naturall French-men which doo studie to giue themselues to the obseruation of the three first Articles declare themselues faithfull and affectionated to the glorie of God to the defence of his religion and to the conseruation and good of their Countrie AN ANSWERE TO THE last tempest and villanie of the League vpon the slanders which were imprinted by the same against the French King intituled A Declaration of the crimes whereinto the Catholiques doo fall in taking the king of Nauarre his part IN the yeere of our Lorde God 1585. saith the League Apo 13 came forth of the depth a hideous monster which hauing vndertaken to combat with beate down the state of France tooke for material sword the mines of gold and siluer hidden within the mountaines and dens of the new world Afterwardes the yron and steele of the Pirenee and Alpe mountaines together with the most faire exquisite and most excellent worke that the superficies of the earth could produce out of the regions of Spaine Portugall Piemont Italy Scicilia and Sardaigne with a great number of other Isles and Prouinces By this the general conducter of the leagued band pretended and deliberated to vsurpe not onely the kingdomes of France England and Scotland but all other of Christendome From the which practised tyrannie is nothing else proceeded but a ridiculous dwarfe like to the teeming of the mountaines in olde time And sithence it is come to passe that the desperate children of Moab finding their naturall weapon to be short thought good to take the spirituall of Balaam thereby to tourne awaie the French-men from the obedience which they owe to their prince Num. 22. euen as the false prophet woulde haue caused the people of Israel to turne from their obedience which they did owe to God Also heere ought not to bee omitted the superlatiue craft and subtilty which they haue vsed going about to drawe the Germanes to take their part namely those of the confession of Ausbourge the which they hold for heretikes To whome Pope Sixtus caused to be tolde that if they would acknowledge the dignitie of his seate that in other things he would declare them tollerable Yea euen vnto a Councell By this meanes the League begging as well with the good as with the wicked haue practised the saying of the Poet Flectere si nequo superos Achaeronta mouebo Virg. If I cannot bend the Gods of heauen to helpe me I will prouoke the deuils of hell The demonstration of which iniquities are therefore most necessary seeing that these leaguers wold do in like sort to the noble men of France which accompanie the king as the dragons of India doe to the Elephants when as by dazeling them they cause them to fall Fearing then that some such accident should happen to anie the well affectionate towardes the king Plin. li. 8. ca. 12. wee shoulde cause in like sorte that these dragons may sall themselues beeing quashed asunder vnder the Elephants when as by these refutations and answeres which wee produce against the Articles of this traiterous seditious and leagued Monke shall bee maintained the iust vocation of those which are armed as well for the defence of their king as of their Countrie The which Articles are thirteene in number And as for the first he sayth that the Catholikes helping the king these are his tearmes doe against the commaundement and expresse word of God in confirmation whereof hee alleadgeth seuen textes out of the holy Scripture afterwardes holding it for a thing knowen and confessed that the king is an heretike he pretendeth to maintaine his consequence that is that he is vncapable and vnworthie to succeede the crowne of France Now let vs see whether this be to the matter or whether he turneth awaie from the same texts as a prophane man or not And first to proue in generall the falsehoode of these Articles which concerne all the crime of heresie from the which this slanderer of dignities doth accuse his king We saie that the vice called by the Dialecticians Petitio principij doth declare a manifest ignorance Iud. ver 8. in the arte of disputing that is when one would argue and affirme without proofe or reason And passing further we adde that there commeth a deuillish rage between when the truth is called a lie Within the which two vices this Leaguer and pretended great disputer doth throw down himselfe headlong from all speech If hee obiecteth that the king hath beene iudged and declared an heretike by the Ecclesiasticall Romanes little children will answere him that the contrarie partie cannot bee iudge also that the accused ought to be heard before he bee condemned If he replieth that all this hath beene done let him saie when But hee knoweth not Euen as the house of Lorraine and the Romane Consistorie shal testifie which hauing enterprised to put the Crowne vppon the Guise his head had neede of the false pretence of heresie thereby to take it from the king But let vs come to the point All the
