Certamen Brittannicum Gallico Hispanicum A True Relation of a conference holden between Charles Stuart King of Scots Don Lewis de Haro and the Cardinall Mazarine the two Grande Favorites of the Courts of France and Spaine THE two State Favorites and grande Polititians of Europe Don Lewis de Haro and Cardinall Mazarine the two publike Embassadours for the Kings of Spaine and France to mannage the treaty of marriage between the said King of France and the Infant of Spaine having according to former resolutions met on on the borders of both Kingdomes after many nicetyes satisfied objections resolved and severall ceremonious complements of respect past they began to consult of those things the setling whereof was the foundation of their meeting wherein among other things it fell into consideration who should be included within the articles of the peace to be concluded thereby and who debarred amongst whom the Cardinall desired that the King of Scots might be one in regard his Master had contrary to the Law of Nations friendship and alliance banished him out of his Court and Kingdome whereupon Don Lewis answered there is the more reason he should be taken in for though his neerest kindred who had formerly been obliged to his Father had forced him to retreate from among them yet seeing he had cast himselfe upon his Master he should finde he did not relye on a broken reede which while he trusted would run into his hand but that he would be to him as Castle of defence wherein he might shelter him from the injurious stormes which undeservedly did threaten him so that whether or no he be nominally admitted by you it much matters since he is an allye a friend and confederate of my masters all whose allyes must and shall be necessarily included Many dayes and much time being spent in these debates and notice thereof being brought to the King of Scots he thought it very convenient to goe to the place of meeting and there to make his application to that noble person who had stood up so much for his interest and having at last attained to the end of his journey hoping to Crowne this beginning of his desires with successe he went privately to the Lord Don Lewis who though somewhat astonished at his sudden and unexpected arrivall did yet neverthelesse treate him with many extraordinary civilityes the usuall testimonyes of a condiall affection with promise in convenient time to procure a meeting between themselves and the Cardinall in which they would consult what was necessary and what was fit to be done whereby he should see that no stone should be unturned if it might raise him an advantage or procure him an assistance so as he on his part would not stand in his own light and run himselfe into a Dilemma with too much obstinacy in some particulars at which time they parted with a reassurance of a future meeting suddenly According to his promise about the midst of September last past the Spanish Grandee gained a meeting where they after some respects each reserving to himselfe his own Grandezza Don Lewis began there hath been Sir some controversy between the Cardinall his Eminency and my selfe about your interest I judging it necessary that upon a conclusion of a peace between two the most potent Princes of Europe a third being now distressed through the malevolent dispositions of ill affected and rebellious subjects should not be left out whereunto the Cardinall replyed I confesse it is a work of charity and piety but where the interest of the state whereof I am a subject cannot but suffer by such a concession I must crave pardon you know or at the least have heard how the King my Master was compelled to make a peace with the English State and upon what unequall term we gained the same he left many of his friends and kindred in the in the Lurch and was glad to give Dunkirk and some other places for the purchase therof He was particularly bound to banish this noble person here present and never to aide or assist him but to take all persons his friend and allves to be our enemies so that I cannot saluo honore regiae majestatis conclude any thing as to that point And doth my Cosen truly said the King of Scots so highly prize his so dearly bought peace surely he cannot but know that the person with whom he made it was no better then a regicide a person who washed his hands in the sacred blood of his King without any just or equall quarrell for to him and his villanous retinew all things were lawfull that might any way serve their turn all their actions and passions how diverse and inconstant soever were in their ambition swallowed up and thereinto converted they forbeare no manner of murthers breach of faith and buying other mens fidelity they esteeme as a vertue and think no place strong where an horse laden with gold may enter not any Citty or State unconquerable where any of the greatest hope to be made greater can loose the sense of other mens sorrow and subjection pardon my deviation he that speakes of his owne greifes of his owne troubles speakes sensible such then I say were the men your Masters men subjected himselfe to and I pray for what reason why out of a spirit of revenge the one sought the other did conclude a peace the first to satisfie his desire on the Prince of Conde the other that he might fulyll his cruelty towards me Truly said Don Lewis and that possibly might be the designe of both for I know the King of Spain was tampered with to the same purpose and when by policy and undermining the effect could not be attained then straight a war was included with Spaine Jamarca seized on by violence and Dunkirk with some few other places stollen into by craft but I really beleive that if they should take a veiw of their Treasury and but reckon the men those inconsiderable places have cost them they would quickly find the blood and treasure hugely to over-ballance the worth thereof For what advantage have they gotten thereby for Jamaica is so poore a place that without continuall fresh supplyes the souldyary and people there must
