THE FRENCH HERALD SVMMONING ALL TRVE Christian Princes to a generall Croisade for a holy warr against the great Enemy of Christendome and all his Slaues VPON THE OCCASION OF the most execrable murther of HENRY the great TO THE PRINCE LONDON Printed by E. Allde for Mathew Lownes and are to be sold at his shop at the signe of the Bishops head in Pauls Church-yard 1611. TO THE PRINCE SIR THis Herald whose very phrase bewraies him enough to be french though he neuer spoke his owne french yet and who rather chose vpon so vrgent a necessity to speake ill in a strange language then not at all now most rightly presents himselfe first vnto your highnes because aswell by your merit as by your fortune you are one of the chiefest if not euen the first vpon whome he calls for the performance of the greatest most Christian and most royall duty that euer was yeelded to the greatest person deceased to the greatest persons living It is no lesse then the cause of God no lesse then the cause of the Gods seing Princes are stiled so by him that onely is so and who by a most excellent fashion aboue all other men after his owne Image made them so And what a more godly ground for all Christians to take the crosse on them against him that vnder a gawdy show of many false crosses the more crossely because closely crosseth the onely and true Crosse of Christ Wherein if it be not your selfe vnder the happy auspices of your glorious father or rather hee himselfe by you then I see no Generall in the world when our Christian Army must come into the field An other reason I haue more especially and wholy to apply to your highnes that which is intended to many A most speciall and holy zeale to your Princely seruice which euen eight yeares agoe brought me into your Country and still working in my hart now enforces me rather to giue you a small touch therof how meane soeuer then it should be longer hid from you how much I am YOVR HIGHNES Most humble most obedient and most ready to be commaunded seruaunt ✚ THE FRENCH HERALD Summoning all truly Christian Princes to a generall Croisado for a Holy VVarr against the great Enemy of Christendome and all his Slaues WHo shall giue me an yron-voice that I may sound out to the foure corners of the Earth the greatest peece of infamy the strangest the wonderfullest treachery the rarest treason which euer was since the foundations of the world were laid But alas who will beleeue my report And now to repeat that which the very Infamy thereof long since hath made so famous through all Nations Is it not in some sort most needles Oh that it were so But since so great so pregnant so extraordinary a cause hath not yet produced conformable effects Needs needs I must remember you as though you knew it not or had forgotten it That that King that King of Fraunce that great King of Fraunce that mighty that tryumphant that victorious that famous Monarch that Thrice-great HENRY honor of his time horror to his enemies that faithfull one to his friends is alas shall I say is when he is no more or if he be yet is nothing but a very nothing dead ô mischiefe twenty yeares before his time in the strength of his age in the current of his glory in the beginning of a new course for more more victories in the very time when most we needed him He is dead but ô Lord how is he dead It is a great thing when a King euen a meane King dyes a thing that shakes often the deepest foundations of his Kingdome sometimes of his neighbours a thing where of all the world will speake thinke much though dead euen leasurely and by the ordinary way But when a great King and such a great one as our great HENRY If euer the like haue ben or shall be comes to an vntimely end not by that easy course of Nature but suddainly snatched violently plucked away from his owne from the very armes of his owne by the base desperat attempt of a mad beast who not able not daring to endure the beames of his royall face giues him his death before from behind It is a case so strange so rare so vnheard of that if there can be any such wonder it were onely not to wonder at it and would to God we might passe no further We wonder at the furious fashion of Lyons euen if tame or when we looke vpon them thorow their grates we wonder at the roaring of the waters euen a farre off But if we see them once let loose and enraged vpon vs If the streames ouerflowing their bankes haue once couered our champions and we be caryed away by the currents swimming between the apprehensions of a weake hope and the pangs of a deadly Ship-wrack Then leaue we wondring and begin fearing by so much more fearfull as the former wonder was great and full of it selfe Who shall giue me an yron-voyce that I may thunder out the most high the most lamentable complaint that euer was heard in the world since our losse is the greatest that euer was in the world Alas not the Lyons not the fiercest beasts of Affrick but the infernall Furies the enchained spirits of the bottomles pit the Dogs the Wolues the Tygers the Lyons the Vipers the Serpents the Dragons of hell are let loose vpon vs walke and wander among vs vnder the shape and name of Frenchmen to worke our mischiefe for french must needs be that hand that must kill Fraunce though Strangers thrust it on as though they could find no where els so much boldnes or so much desperate wickednes Alas not one riuer not many but a whole Ocean of miseries hath ouerwhelmed our whole land now that royall mound now that brazen wall now that sacred trench is broken which with-held it from swelling against vs. What poore hope now if feare may be so tearmed but of a huge if not a generall flood of woes Terror and death enuiron vs round about which could not enter vpon vs but by that gap And we are left swimming together among the direfullest monsters of the deepe in such a heauy case as those which the merciles mouth of the sea will spare shall not escape their hungry bellies And yet French-men there is a small sparke left vs of a better hope if we can be wise Who shall giue me an yron-voyce that I may break into their minds whose eares the sound of my doleful cōplaint hath pierced That I may stir them vp no longer to a silent wonder no longer to a melting compassion but to a bloody anger and no lesse pittiles then iust reuenge of so wonderfull so pittifull so wrongfull a treason The so miserable losse I say of so great a King a losse alas I cannot say it enough so great so publick so generall so vniuersall so farre and
