August 3. Numb 38. ADVICE GIVEN VNTO THE STATES OF of the Low-Countries obedient faithfull to his Maiesty of Spaine upon occasion of the Letters written by Count Henry Vanden Bergh the 18. day of Iune 1632. to her Highnesse the Archdutchesse and the Estates in those Dominions As also unto the declaration made by him concerning his discontent received being all fully answered and found to be unjust and unreasonable If the Reader please to compare them together you shall find Henry of the Bergh his Letters and Declaration Printed in our Aviso of Iune the 30. Numb 31. and Iuly 6. Numb 32. Translated out of the French Coppy LONDON Printed by B. A. and T. F. for Nathaniel Butter and Nicholas Bourne 1632. SIRS THere is nothing that makes men more commendable before the face of Heauen and Earth in comparison of true fidelity towards God and their Prince It is a Primitive vertue which is borne with vs and ought not to die but with vs without prejudice or wrong to any forraine Nations it may bee averr'd with preeminence of honour that there is not any place or Nation where the Divine worship is more religiously observed the Churches better maintayned and served the Cleargy more exemplary the Nobility more pious the people more devout and observant in religious duties than in those Provinces of the Low-countries which are subject and obedient to his Majesty M●… tru●… Their Temples are in reputation and in effect to be numbred and esteemed amongst the fairest and most adorned and beautified of all Christendome and the Doctrine of their Prelates in singular esteeme with the Church of Rome As concerning the fidelity due unto their Prince N●… do●… the same is immoveable and constant hath beene so acknowledged and tryed by the continuance and prosecution of many succeeding yeares yea such that maugre all the power devices and stratagems of the enemie and discontented braines the same will still subsist in integrity and true obedience Wee are under a King the best that ever bore Crowne in many ages the most pious and best affectioned unto his sul stitutes and such as are in authority under him At this day when Piety Religion are so lively opposed set upon in his Person and States by impiety and heresie when God and our Prince are both assaulted at once whi●e every man is now putting to his helping hand in the Ship untill the tempest be overpast you will not I assure my selfe wonder if among a multitude and infinite number of good men you shall find one wicked faithlesse servant who turnes his backe to his Master and kissing him betrayes him wonder not I say if among so many faithfull ones you meet with one who under pretence of a Patriot and faithfull supporter of the Countryes opens a way to easement Our enemies are so much the more dangerous by how much more they doe flatter vs. And as the promise of liberty of conscience is nothing else but an Introduction of heresie So is the other of publike liberty tendered by the hand of a disloyall one nothing else but a deceitfull bayte to replunge our Provinces into the fore-passed calamities out of which the mercy of the Omnipotent hath delivered and brought vs forth Our sweetnesse GOD bee blessed is not mixed with any bitternesse our Sacrifices are not intertu●bed or troubled our lives passe along in tranquility and under the manifold blessings of Heaven under the example and government of a Princesse most devout and debonayre and hope and expectation of a young Prince of Royall race What is there now wanting to the height of our happinesse but the accomplishment of a Peace which cannot be with-held from us if wee make but some tryall and proofe worthy of our zeale and good will We can doe much if wee have but the will onely let us have this care that the want of courage turne not to our reproach shame since that our domesticke enemies are discryed brought to light those without shal be inferiour to us Our domesticke enemies are such who under colour and pretence of raysing up the publike liberty labour and endeavour to destroy it by inovation and bury the same in their owne ambitious engrossing And who having no other Religion but that of their ambition and of their owne interest doe neverthelesse make profession of being very good Catholickes The worst cause that ever was in the world wanted not some pretence or other There is nothing so like unto an Angell of light as a Daemon or Devill nothing doth so counterfeyte and appeare like unto the truth as falshood a lye You have my Lords seene the ridiculous pretences of Count Henry de Bergh in those Letters which hee hath sent to her highnesse to the States of the Countrey and the declaration which he made to sollicite the fidelity of soldiers and men of honour You have seene I say his foundation without foundation upon the which he grounds his perverse intentions But the dislike and distast which you have taken against his proceedings hath beene such and your loyalty and fidelity so commendable that even to convince his felony you have with an extraordinary affection love to the good of the Countrey contributed unto the Prince farre greater ayde and helpe than formerly you had done Moreover it is necessary that besides you the world be satisfied which oftentimes doth judge by the outward appearance not knowing the truth of things and that the same may see the truth discovered lest men be abused by the cunning slights and pretences where withall he hides the grossenesse and basenesse of his treason He begins his letter written to her highnesse with insupportable and boldnesse without measure presenting most traytour-like bread in one hand and a flinty stone in the other He exposeth his wicked designes with all submission Never I am sure was there any rebellion declared with more shamelesnesse and impudency After this his fayned Ceremony and complement he complaineth that the Souldiers were withdrawne from his government to the end that they might make him be the cause of their destruction It is lawfull for a man to make his complaint but not perfidious That which he sayes is not truth and the Letters of the Marquise De Sancte Croes doe testifie as much for he required no men from him but onely beacuse he judged that the enemy would attempt nothing on that side leaving all to his owne choise and desiring him to see the Bridge well guarded and provided before Venlo to suffer the troupes to passe over safely which should be seat to relieve the same And put the case that which he affirmeth were true if hee had beene well minded and his intention good he ought to have defended her government to the last man and have kept himselfe in the City of Gelder which is a strong place as he had promised by Letters to her highnesse and allowing that Venlo was able to be
