in any English cloth or woollen clothes amongst them Shall wee follow with the losse of the Palatinate the slighting of our Embassadours in Germany the hazard of the Kings children in Prague the bereauing them of their inheritance the bestowing the Electorship vpon Bauaria and all those perils and indignities wee haue endured about that warre when yet we were made to beleeue there should be a more tractable composition or orderly course taken if we would defist from the prosecution Shall wee continue with your disgraces at home how euer many gracious things haue been published to reconcile the peoples opinion to the affecting the Spanish match all which haue yet had the misfortune of diuerting them from it either as disallowing the pamphlets that haue been that way written or esteeming them too triuiall and onely common tricks to get mony With what scorne did a supposed Spanish mad man aduance himselfe into the Chaire of Estate in the presence at White-hall and was onely dismist with a iest from Gondomar and a shipping out of England Was there euer such an abuse offered to a Kings house as the cutting of his pictures in the princely gallery when certaine Spaniards were so kindly entertained to be admitted into such priuat rooms Who could haue had better welcome then that counterfet fugitiue the Archbishop of Spalato and yet in requitall he preached publickly in the Mercers Chappell that the Church of Rome was a true Church of God and in priuate conference argued as if the Ecclesiasticall gouernment of England was but a mongrell Papistry How did Gondomar couzen our hospitalitie and abuse his Maiesties fauor for after he and his Priests had been welcomed to many noble houses in England and discouered the Ladies humors or dotage vpon their Iesuites after he had fraughted himselfe with the knowledge of our kingdome and diued as it were into the arcana regni after he had drawne on the net of political enforcement concerning the profit and honour of both Nations by this match with the iocundity of the Princes in their vnion and penselled out the excellencies of the Infanta Maria after we say that hee had as it were made a faction in England and knew by name who were Hispaniolized and for their priuate ends as all temporisers do neglected the publicke good either of Church or Common-wealth With what a iollitie did hee returne into Spaine and boasted there how easie it was to deceiue your simplicitie insomuch that wee in Scotland heard more particulars then you in England that his arguments were but Elo●chi and wished in our hearts his wisedom might proue Ahitophels and his deuices like Perillus bull of whom Phallaris for his inuention made the first triall Shall we prosecute other matters was it well done thinke you to compose that booke of Rosa Hispanioa and Anglicum punicum and expose it to publike view with an idolatrous and blasphemous frontispeece Christ comming from heauen to marrie them when he himselfe had cursed Israel if they matched with the Canaanites and Nehemiah with pulling their haire from their heads made the people put away their idolatrous wiues and for the booke it selfe the wiser and iudicious sort not onely derided it for the phrase and fantasticall title vnto as fantasticall a man but for the substance and examples which might be euery way and euery one retorted against the other and for the frontispeece the very women in Edenborugh haue made good sport to heare of the iests that haue beene contriued vpon it At the first when a certaine man demanded whom those pictures did personate and answer was made that the one was Charles Prince of Wales and the other the Lady Maria Infanta of Spaine and the third Iesus Christ come from heauen to marry them Not too fast replied the fellow but yet I am glad that Christ is between them for then sure he wil neuer suffer them to ioyn together except God giue her so much grace which seldome happens to a Spaniard to come out of Babilon and not be partakers of her Idolatries After this the book lying long on their stalls and the man ouen angred againe at such lukewarme gospellers and trades-men that care not by what for did meanes and superstitious filthinesse they enrich themselues he asked once againe what those pictures meant and they once againe answered the Prince of Wales and Princesse of Spaine with Christ between them Oh said he that 's impossible For if Christ meant any such matter he would haue dispatcht it before now and questionlesse there would neuer haue been such delayes and rediculous pride amongst them Then followed the Princes iorney into Spaine with rigging out a Nauy and selecting the Commanders to please the King of Spaine as was interpred of some of the principall Catholike Lordes of England who apparrelled their followers honorably and did all things befitting the dignitie of the nation but what followed vpon Brunswicks ouerthrow Spaine with Ixion bosted he must lie with Iuno and the house of Austria swelled so big that if the tumor of pride be not pricked downe it will burst with her own greatnes and presumption that they are not able to raise another Gigantomachia and with Typhon cast the mountaines against heauen for presently the noble Prince found a kind of remisnes and relaxation concerning his first entertainment peraduenture being a pathick to some indignities he and the Navy were all dismist without the Lady or any dispatch of the businesse so that we in Scotland did wonder how so great and so wise a King could either be misinformed or rely on any Temporiser to go forward with vncertainties and yet for all this you in England printed more books of the Princes royall entertainment in Spaine and like childrens wormseed it was trimmed ouer with gold and put into candid stuffe that is it had braue phrases and oratory with some things that sauored of impossibilitie A second booke told you of a second entertainment which the Prince had in Spain and for Spanish businesse had such an exotik phrase that when it came amongst vs we reputed it a very Rhomantidos indeed for the author inuented words neuer in any author before and bestowed as much paines about killing of buls and beasts ioco de cuno and other sports like our countrymen in times past who ran at S. Quintine as Homer did in describing the Troian wars Curtius in Alexanders conquests and Lucan in his Pharsalia Then followed a third booke of the Princes farewell and reciprocall gifts bestowed betweene Spaine and vs and this was as vineger to the teeth and smoake to the eyes of the subiect for had not their hearts been seasoned with the ioy and gladnes for his returne their mouthes had cursed outright and wished such deceiuers the womans reward that for golde betrayed her countrey and so had so much layd vpon her that they pressed her to death These collections most gracious Lords wee haue made not to intercede against
