Notwithstanding this his highnes determined to depart and so sayled away with fifteene shippes and hee had so fayre a weather whiche continued euen vntill after his entering into Antwerpe and his feasting solemne entertainement there that the heauen the windes the sea and the earth seemed all to fauour his voyage to further y ● gladnesse which the people shewed in receyuing him with so great good-will In the meane time the Prince of Orange seeing the time fit departed from Middleborowgh where hee had taryed the Mounsires comming sixe weekes and more and came to Flushing to take order for

Lorde and Prince are ready to make your othe vnto this Citie and to receyue it at the hande of the Magistrates Burgesses and Citizens thereof in respect of the Citie it selfe and of the Marquesdome of the sacred Empyre Assuring them selues that your heighnesse wilbe vnto them a good righteous and lawfull Prince to gouerne them according to their fraunchises Lawes and Customes And promising mutually on their behalfe to your heighnesse to bee good loyal and faythful subiects vnto you to spend all their goodes yea and their liues in your seruice and in the maintenaunce of your dignitie rightes and preheminences And like as God hath put into your highnes minde to take vpon you first the protection and defence and secondly the whole Souereigntie of the Low Countries and Prouinces which haue entred into league with you vpon hope that the same God will of his gratious goodnesse and mercie so blesse and prosper your dealings and enterprises as that they shall out of hand see the effecte of that communication in the hyest degree to the accomplishment of your royall and Heroycall desires both in the generall and also in the particular delyueraunce of the Countrey from the calamities and miseries of war wherby they shall haue the better cause to acknoweledge the great goodturnes and benefites receiued at your heighnesse hand and to honour loue and serue you as the very Protector of the land and father of their Countrey When Uanderwerk had made an end and the Dukes heighnes had aunswered him conformably to that which hee had spoken without the Towne the said Uanderwerk told the people alowd y t the Duke was ready to take receiue his oth at y t hand of the Magistrate of al the people Inhabiters of the Citie of Antwerp And that god had vouchsafed to sēd thē a Prince of so rare and heroycall vertues of so great puissaunce and the onely brother of so great a king that they might well hope that the same God would inable him to ridde these Countries within a while from the great number of calamities and myseries wherewith they were oppressed And forasmuch as his heighnesse had beene receyued with solempne delyberation of the states confederate yea and with solemne resolution of all the members of that Citie and GOD had commaunded men to loue honour and obey their Princes he exhorted the people to yeelde him all humble obedience according to Gods commaundement To which intent the oth as well which his highnesse should make to the people as which the people shoulde make to his highnes should be read vnto thē Praying God to giue such grace vnto his heighnes as he folowing the same might wel rule gouerne and vnto the Burgesses and Citizens of Antwerp as they might perform their obedience like good loyall and faythfull subiects that Gods name might be sanctified to the benefit prosperitie and safegarde of the Citie and to the great increase of the Dukes puyssaunce honour and glory Then the same Underwerk red the othe which was to be made by the Duke with the style of the Duke of Brabande and all his other tytles Which oth was red to his heighnes in French and receyued by Syr Philip Schonehouen Lorde of Wan●roe Borowhmayster without the Citie Which being don y ● said Uanderwerk red y ● oth which the Magistrate people were to make which was repeated word for worde by the Magistrates and a great number of people which were within the hearing of it And this oth was exacted of the Magistrate and people of Antwerpe by the Amptman in the name and by the commaundemente of the Duke Uppon the finishing of these solemnities the Duke himselfe did cast twoor three handfulles of golde and siluer amonge them and then the Herauldes cryed Alargesse and the trumpettes and drummes were sounded euerye where and many instruments of musicke were played vpon as had beene doone afore at his first arryuall When he was come downe from the scaffolde hee wente into the Townehouse with all the Princes Lordes and Gentlemen which were verye manye where he was receyued by the Worshipfull of the Citie and dyned openly at a very sumptuous and royall feast prepared for him and so that daye passed in great ioye contentation and admiration as wel of his heighnesse and his company as of all the reste of the people Towards night were shot off two peales of great ordinance againe and the fires of ioye were continue● much greater and mo in number tha● afore Thus ended the ioyefull and royall enterteinement of the right noble Prince Frauncis Sonne brother to the kings of France by the grace of God Duke of Braband The rest of the weeke and the daies following the Lordes of the priuy Counsell the Offycers of the Aydes of the Exchecquers of the c●ambers of the accountes and of the other Corporations Colleges and Cōmunalties came to visit his heighnesse and to offer him their humble seruice promising al faythfulnes and obedience All whome hee receyued verye gratiously to their contentation aunswering them so aduisedly with so good grace and fitnesse without omitting anye poynte of that which hee had purposed that all men not onely wondered at him but also were inforced to honour and loue him and to set forth his prayses among the people Fynally the Deputies of the reformed Churches of both the languages being presented vnto him by the Prince of Orendge were gently heard and they spake vnto him as followeth Syr wee be sent vnto your Heighnesse by the reformed Churches of this Citie as well of the language of Lowe Duchland as of the French to shew vnto you with all humilitie reuerence and subiection that wee haue thanked and still doe thanke God with all our heart for voutsafing too bring your heighnes so happily hyther And this our ioy is matched with the toy of all other folkes as wee hope your heighnes hath vnderstoode by the glad and ioyfull receiuing and entertayning of you Also Syr we hope that as the great honour and felicitie which these Countries haue attayned vnto wherein few Countries are able to match them haue beene purchased vnder the souereignetie and gouernmente of the right reno●ed Princes the Dukes of Burgoyn which issued out of the most noble house of Fraunce so vnder your guiding and gouernement being of the same house the auncient renoume of the same dignitie shalbe recouered by your prowesse and mayntained by your wisdome It is little more than three hundred yeares agoe that these Countries being gouerned by sundry Dukes Earles and Lordes had not atteyned the renoume which other nations

haue since that tyme so much wondred at The first that began to giue increase to it was Philip Duke of Burgoyne surnamed the hardy who was brothe● to king Charles the fifth the sonne of king Iohn and graundsonne of king Philip of Ualoys of which kinges your heighnesse is lineally descended from the father to the son For the first Duke of Orleance of whome your heighnes is lineally desended from the father to the sonne was the sonne of King Charles y ● fift as now there be no moe heirs males of the sayde Duke of Orleance but onely your heighnesse and the kinge your brother Whereby it falleth out that the Dukes of Burgoyne are great vncles to your highnesse by the fathers side And therfore wee doubte not but you will followe the footesteppes of their vertues in restoring the state of the Countrie to her auncient renoume and dignitie and also mainteine and increase the honour wherevnto it hath beene aduaunced by those noble princes your Uncles The second duke vnder whom this state hath beene greatly aduaunced was Iohn the second Neuerthelesse it came not to full perfection til y ● time of Philip the second In which perfection it was maintained by Charles y ● last duke of Burgoyne so long as ●e liued The said Philip y ● second to whom y ● honour of stablishing that state most peculiarlye belongeth was one of the most knightlye and val●aunt Princes of his tyme. Hee wan the victorie in nine foughten fieldes in most of the which hee was put to the tryall and hazarde of his person by fighting with his own handes He was a very sage Prince and such a one as had to deale with the greatest Princes in Christendome of whom some were his aduersaries and yet hee behaued himselfe so wisely that he atchieued all thinges to his honour whatsoeuer hee tooke in hande Also hee was very rich insomuch that for all his wars which lasted aboue thirtie yeares hee lefte behinde him more substance and readye monie then any other Prince of his time as the Writers of the hystories of that age doe witnesse vnto vs. And yet notwithstanding for al these great vertues and qualities of his he was not named Philip the sage nor Philip the valiaunt nor Philip the rich but Phillip the good So well doe al folke by generall consent vnderstande which is the vertue that best beseemeth and becōmeth a great Prince and is best lyked of his people namely that a Prince bee good and louing to his subiectes Surely Syr all men hope that your Heighnesse will followe the example of that good Prince the first bringer of the state of this Countrie to perfection a right noble and renoumed prince of the house of France And we praise God for that as manye as haue had the honour to come into your heighnesse presence yeelde record that you haue very great likelyhods of these vertues which we prays God so to accōplish and make perfect in you as al his people may to your great honour receiue the perfect and rype fruits of them And this doe al the rest of the people desire as wel as we Howbeit we haue a most humble suite to make perticularly to your heighnes which we most humbly beseech you to graunt The thing that induceth vs to doe it is that you beare the name of Frauncis For as oft as we heare that name named the remembraunce of that great king Frauncis your heighnesse graundfather commeth to our minde He was a right valiant couragious noble and godlye Prince and yet notwithstanding all the nations of the earth did by one common consent surname him the Father of learning For of a truth since that Emperour and great king of Fraunce called Charles the great there was neuer any king of Fraunce that so heighly fauoured learning as this great king Frauncis And as the sayd king Charles was the founder of the famous vniuersitie of Paris so was king Frauncis the restorer thereof againe and both of them to their great costes charges called men of excellent knowledge thither out of straung countries to teach the languages al kindes of artes and sciences The house of this great king Frauncis was as an vniuersitie and his table was a place of conference concerning al maner of learning And like as other great Princes of his time following his example inriched their dominions and kingdomes with learned men and learning so wee most humbly beseech your heighnes to follow the example of this great king your grandfather in doing the like and to make singular account of learning and to take the professours thereof vnder your protection True it is Syr that through the malice of men war is commōly the ouerthrower of fearning But if a great Prince set himself against the mischiefe he may easily stoppe it Our desire is not that your heighnes shoulde neglect the exercise of chiualrie for to giue your selfe to studie but to follow so the one ●s the other be not left of and forgotten For as we haue seene many cōmonweales florish so long as they professed chiualrie and learning together yet haue falne into the hands of their enemies euen in the chiefe flowre of their skil in sciences by reason of their discontinuing of their former trade of armes after which maner it befel to the Atheniās to come into subiection to the kinges of Macedonie so y ● people which haue professed armes alone without learning haue alwayes become barbarous cruell and vtterly destitute of all humanitie as we see at this day by the Tartars and Moscouits And therfore to our seeming a man may well say that chiualrie is the foundation and sinewes of a commonweale and that learning garnisheth and beauti●eth the body thereof with liuelye and freshe colours seruing it for inrichments and ornaments In respect whereof as wee meant not to desire your heighnesse to forget those which make profession of chiualrie whome you ought to imbrace as your strength so we most humbly beseech you to vouchsafe to succour learning and to maintaine learned men with your gratious fauour Sir very needeful causes moue vs to make this humble petition to your highnes first for that we being professors of learning ought to haue learning in singular estimation and to procure if it be possible for vs that the fruite of the thinges which we haue inioyed for a time may be conueied to our posteritie and secondly for the othes sake which we haue taken at the time of our proceeding in our degrees which is to maintain and further the schooles and learning of the vniuersitie in what degree soeuer wee come vnto And therefore wee hope that your heighnesse will doe vs the honour to take this most humble request of ours in good parte As touching our own persons we promise your heighnesse all obedience faithfulnesse and subtection and that according to our small abilitie wee will doe our indeuour towardes such as we may haue accesse vnto
