of a Christian who as saith Socrates the Scholast lib. 7. cap. 15. speaking of the murder of Hipatie ought to haue his handes cleane from bloud And according to an olde saying We must rather debate our right with reasō then with armes Which was the cause that the Athenians and Mitelenians those Periander for an arbitrator in their controuersies for a certaine territory that the Acheans remitted their quarrell with the Argiues to the iudgement of the Mantineans that the Romains before they tooke armes against Hanniball sollicited him to rayse his siege before Sagunt Yea in olde time when necessitie forced them to the taking of armes it was not doone without southsaying and for the most part they asked the counsaile of Oracles so that P. Claudius and L. Iunius being Consuls they were by the decree of the people condemned for sayling away without southsaying as was also Gabinius for leading an army into Aegypt contrary to the tenour of the Sibils bookes and shall the murderers of the commonwealth robbing euen before the magistrates face be accounted the pillers of the Church men that haue not put on armour but to the end to increase their meanesse to fish in troubled water to tryumph vpon the Frenchmens reproch shall they be named the protectors of Saint Peter What benefite my maisters ye Bishops do you looke for of so many mischiefes committed in your fauour you lende your hande to the seditious Is Eccles 7. that the way to retire from the wicked least his sinne fall vpon you Is that your practising of Tertullians counsayle that it is better to be killed then to kill to bee betrayed then to betray and to serue for a marke to the wicked rather then to doo euill What may the Romaines say vnto you Liuy lib. 9. dec 1. they that deliuered the Consull Posthumius vnto the heralds and so returned him bound and fettered vnto the Samnites for making a necessary peace with them of you I say who through passion rather then reason doo fauour an vniust warre For whereof doo you complayne If you say that sundry gentlemen doo holde Abbyes and Bishoprickes in commandement or otherwise wee may aunswere that aforetime they were giuen in portions as we finde that Adolph the second sonne vnto Bald wine the second Earle of Flaunders and Lady Estrilde daughter vnto Elfrede King of England had for his portion the Countie of Saint Pol and Abbey of Saint Berthine Also Robert Earle of Angiers before the decease of his brother of Eude helde the Abbyes of S. Germaine in the medowes S. Crosse and S. Owen Yea and our kings seeing that Abbyes were growne most wealthy and were reduced in manner to the forme of their warlike fauors conferred them to their soldiours who by discretion placed in them a head whom they tearmed Deane which appeareth to haue bene vsed since the raigne of Charles the balde vnto the time of K. Robert If your argument consist vppon the vnfit promotions vnto ecclesiasticall dignities dooth not the imposition of hands and consecration rest in your selues why doo you then giue them to vnwoorthy persons Besides there is no apparance to cut off the kings from their right of presentations because they In the olde historie of S. Denis be the patrons of the churches Yea Pope Adrian held a councell wherein it was decreed that thence forth Charlemaine should haue the inuestiture of Archbishops and Bishops in their prelacies besides that as saith Duarene The installing of Bishops by the authority of our kings is one of the corner stones of this Realme For saith hee who knoweth not the Duaren de sac sanct eccles min. lib. 1. cap. 6 sleights of the Court of Rome how much French blood that horsleach sucketh vp And the exchange of his lead with our gold is growne to a Prouerbe as that in Homer of Glaucus and Diomedes And S. Bernard Bernard lib. 4. de consider ad Eug. euen in his time complaineth that from al parts of the world the ambitious Simonists whoremaisters and incestuous persons ran to Rome to get the honors of the church If you complaine because of some leuie of coine vpon the clergie we may tell you that necessitie hath no law that men are gouerned according to the time not the time according to the men and the occurrences are as it were guides to our actions Wherevpon in the yeare 1171. Lewis the yoong had an aide of the clergie wherewith to send the Earle of Sancerre to the conquest of the holy land Againe in March 1188. king Philip August by the decree of the councell holden at Paris obtained the tenthes of the church for one whole yeare which were tearmed Saladins tenths with part of the like in the time of Theodorike the secōd Charles Martell rewarded such gentlemen as had borne the brunt of the warre against the Saracens Also in the time of Charles the 6. the Earle of Aniou by permission of Clement the Antipope leuyed diuers vpon the clergie Againe in the yeare 1532. king Francis being molested with forraine war had the helpe of the prelats of his realme Besides all which the clergie cannot exempt themselues from tribute because Christ paide it and Ambrose saith Ambrose de Basill trad Theod. lib. 4. cap. 8. If the Emperour requireth it we must not refuse it Valentinian likewise writing to the Bishops of Asia and Phrigia saith that good Bishops are not slacke in contributions yea in such a case the Emperour Constantine threatneth them with grieuous paines And in the time of the Macedonian warres the Romane Senate seeing the people oppressed raised a tax vpon the Priests notwithstanding their oppositions framed vppon such freedomes as Numa Pompilius had graunted them from the which they appealed to the Tribunes who saith Liuy declared the Priestes appeale to come out of season so as they exacted of them the taxes of all the yeares that they had not payed and yet you my maisters doo practise enterprises against your king because that he forced by necessitie doth exact of you some tribute and tickleth you when he might claw you vnto the very bones by a iust reformation grounded vppon the estate of the primitiue church Wake not therefore him that sleepeth neither thinke my maisters that those that do serue their owne turnes by the warres as by a spoonge wherwith to sucke vp the substance of the Church and haue no other goodes but the wealth of the crucifixe will prouide any remedy for your pretended sicknesse and to say that now they will root out the Protestants is but badly to weigh their actions and well worse their power for are they become Briarees since they began to fight vnder our kings authoritie vndoubtedly there is nothing increased in them but folly and desire of dominion At all aduentures if they be led by the feare of God and pietie of Catholike religion why doo they not turne their weapons against Iewes who do scatter the

all forraine fashions and kindes of life which long since had filled ours with bastardy sith it is much easier to know a fault in nature then any vnlikelines betweene the Prince and the subiect as saide Theodorike king of the Gothes in his writing to the Senate of Rome But because the enemies of this Realme and among others our selues do reiect this so holy sacred and hitherto inuiolable a law as some shadow dreame or bugbeare I pray you cast your view vppon custome time out of mind practised in Fraunce and that which hath no lesse force then all the lawes in the world euen by the saying of the Lawyers Thinges brought in by auncient custome doo seeme more iust then those that are commaunded by lawes Childebert left two daughters Cherebert three Gentran nine Lewis Hutin one who succeeded in the Realme of Nauarre but not of France Philip the long three who neuer quarrelled for the crowne to the which in processe of time succeeded Lewis the 12. who excluded Lady Anne Lady Ione the daughters of king Lewis the 11. and sisters to Charles the 8. king Francis the 9. set it vpon his head but not in the right of his wife Queene Claude daughter to king Lewis the 12. Hereto adde that the whole doth ordinarily retaine the nature of his country so that the crowne cannot fall to the distaffe sith that the propertie of the prouisions of the yongers of the house of France dooth euer in default in heires males returne to the crowne and with that condition did Lewis the 8. in February 1223. indue his brother king Philip of Fraunce Earle of Bologne and by his will dated in Iune 1525. left Artois to his second sonne Aniow and Maine to the third Poictou and Auuergne to the fourth with condition for default of heyres males to returne to the crowne The like did S. Lewis in March 1268. with the Countie of Valois to his fifth sonne Iohn of France also Philip the faire in December 1311. to Philip the long his second sonne after whose decease without heires male his daughter Ione of France wife to Eudo the 4. D. of Burgondy instantly challenging the possessory endowment of her father against Charles the 4. was ouerthrowne by decree of Parliament dated the 2● of February 1322. This custome beeing of it selfe strong inough is accompanied with a decision of the law If the Intruders successors doo for the space of one hundred yeares holde the souereigntie in such case the prescription of so long yeares may serue for a title namely if there be no opposition or protestation of the subiects to the contrary as that of the tribune Aquila who tooke away the crowne that had beene set vpon Caesars image so as the successors of Hugh Capet hauing bin maisters of this crowne euer since the yeare 997. haue too important an exception against these Carlingues But vtterly to shut vp their mouthes we doo in truth say that our kinges are of the bloud of Charlemaine whose race hauing fayled in seuen geuerations after Capet was renued in the person of king Lewis the 8. For Philip August or Giuen of God in the yeare 1180. at Bapaulines marryed Isabell the daughter of Baldwin the 4. of that name Earle of Henault who was descended of Hermengarde Countesse of Namure daughter to Charles the simple from whose successors Hugh Capet tooke the right of the crowne of which marriage of king Philip and Lady Isabell was borne the 6. of September 1587. king Lewis the 8. father to S. Lewis out of whom as out of a nursery of plants are issued the noble families of Valois and Bourbon Yea I will say more namely that the Guyses cannot be of the branches of Charles of Lorraine the brother of Lothair the 33. king of France vnckle to Lewis the 5. neither consequently of Charlemaine for it is but 120. yeares since the race of Vaudemōt tooke lande in the house of Lorraine which in lesse then 460. yeares hath fallen in seuen seuerall families namely from the house of Charlemaine into the house of Ardenne 1005. frō the house of Arden into the house of Bologne 1089. frō the house of Bologne into the house of Lembourg from the house of Lembourg into the house of Louuain 1106. Thē in tract of time René K. of Sicile sonne to Lewis of Aniou maryed the heire of Lorraine by whom he left a son named Iohn a daughter named Yolande who was wife to Fredericke of Vaudemont afterward in 1464. inherited the duchie of Lorraine through the decease of her nephew Nicholas her brother Iohns onely son hereby we plainly may see that these men are like Esops crow who disguised her selfe with many other fowles feathers supposing that processe of time might serue for a vaile to cloke their falshood but it falleth out clean contrary for truth is the daughter of time Then persuading thēselues that their Iesuit a fit embassador for such potentates had remoued both heauen earth as well in Italy as in Spaine and that the brute of their false discent had brought such effects correspondent to their desires that the nobilitie had liked to lend them a shoulder and the people had bene wholy bent to their passions they brake the impostume and to the end to free themfelues from quietnesse which was n●●some vnto them and to stiffle vp all peace which could no whit delight them euē as an infected stomacke that can rellish no good food they did of late put in practise that game which their predecessors had kept close and sealed vp and so began to play at thrust out with the king True it is that for feare of going barefoot in so thorny a way they haue disguised their ambition with many faire pretences and to colour their warres they haue propounded 1. The rooting our of heresie 2. The nomination of a Catholike successour to the crowne 3. The reestablishing of the church in her a●ncient liberties 4. The reintegration of the nobility into their former dignity 5. The abasing of certaine persons whom the king hath exalted 6. The disburdening of the third estate Propositions which in outward apparance are good but bad in effect sweet to heare of but of bitter tast wholesome without but heauy within For the two first are forged against the king of Nauarre and the Prince of Condé the rest haue no other end but to yeeld the king odious to the clergie hated of the nobilitie and to pull vpon him the malice of the people This is the rediest way that they can finde to preuent the greatnesse of the king and of the two chief● princes of the lillie and to make that agreement with vs wherof Demosthenes warneth the Athenians by the sheepe and the wolues that willed the sheepe if they would haue any peace with them to deliuer into their hands all the mastifes that kept them Of the rest of the Princes they weene to haue a great peny-worth which all
