A Dialogue and complaint made vpon the siedge of Oastend made by the King of Spaine the Archduke the Infanta the Pope the Prince Morrice and the eldest sonne of Sauoye Translated out of French Also a true discourse of that which is hapned in the same towne of Oastend from the fourth day of the moneth of February 1602. VVith certaine newes written towards London from Italy Fraunce Hungary and other places LONDON Printed for Mathew Law 1602. A Dialogue and complaint vpon the siedge of Oastend made by the King of Spaine the Archduke the Infanta the Pope the Prince Morrice and the eldest sonne of Sauoye The Archduke O Mightie God what misfortune O what cruell mishap it is to see this small place which hath stayed the valour of so many good souldiours and cause an armie to be consumed before this pettie place Alas it was well tolde me what discommoditie I should indure before this citie A citie I may ●erme it for Caesar before Munda howbeit much good was lost yet not such store of people as I haue lost before this for I may with trueth say that I haue within these foure moneths lost fiue thousand men or little lesse and among them many valiant Collonels and Captaines and yet I sée not apparence to get the same The Infanta My brother is strong enough to beare all both men and money required to this warre The King of Spaine Sister whatsoeuer I could do for the preseruation of this Flemish countrie I sweare I haue effected to my power The Archduke Sir your maiestie hath sufficiently satisfied the promise of the late Catholick king The king of Spayne To my Father I haue promised for euer to maintayne the Apostolique siege and that which he gaue to you The Archduke Sir your greatnesse is sufficiently knowne in persuing of this with so great charges The king of Spayne I must kéepe this countrie in awe least if in France came troubles I might hereof possesse my selfe The Archduke That shall neuer be séene No Frenchmen hath desire to sée as they haue séene the Spaniards in their townes The king of Spayne Some foole will be found among so many vnfit who for gould will aduance my power The Archduke The Frenchmen haue a king who is not to be prouided and I do more feare that they will enter in this countrie whilst I am busie here and cause the countrie wholy to rebell The king of Spayne This king was at Calles whereat I greatly meruaile for I cannot conceiue what he had to doe there The Archduke He was at Calles not without hauing some affayres but it hath troubled my braynes to thinke what it should be The king of Spayne Do you thinke that this king would haue falsefied his fayth and he would endeauour to get his countrie by craft The Archduke The falcifying of his promise imported not so he thereby may get good profit The King of Spaine There neuer was french king who would so wrong himselfe as to breake the promise of Fraunce The Archduke It hath little béene séene that any heretofore such haue such recompense as this king should haue by falcifying his oath The King of Spaine I do greatly wonder to what purpose the Duke of Biron went to England The Archduke I durst lay that it is about war and nothing els that he made that voyage The King of Spaine And the Duke of Anguillon who came towardes you of what did he speake to you of peace or of warre The Archduke He was sent to yéeld such as he hath done by the great master of my horse The King of Spaine Then to this peace let vs not repose but it is requisite that euery one be ready to resist The Archduke It is well the right meane to preuent that no ill hap come to vs but men cannot resist euery where The King of Spaine What is then to be done you must answere to this point doe you hope shortly to be maister of this place The Archduke It doth consist in God to effect such wonder and not in any humaine power The King of Spaine What doe you then hope that in looking on the same it will through wearysomnesse it will yéeld it selfe The Archduke If it had not béene for your maiesty I durst not haue vndertaken to come neare the same by halfe a leage The King of Spaine It hath béene Spingnola who caused me to be commanded quickly to take the same to the end there to place gallies The Archduke Your maiestie ought not to haue promised to take this place or at the least not so soone The King of Spaine We haue to moch spoke thereof tell me I pray you sonne whether you meane to take it or els to depart from thence The Archduke If it had not béene for shame I would before this time haue gone away from thence for I through obstinacie haue wholy ruyned my campe The King of Spaine Séeing you cannot get it leaue off your will which you haue so bent against the same place The Archduke Flaunders hath furnisht all which my army would haue therefore I cannot from hence depart without dishonor but they would be weary I know their humour And then when they would they are at such great charges that they haue not that power to support the same And though I should yet remayne here foure monethes expecting good succes I neuer shall haue hope to take the same I did well thinke at the first what would become hereof The King of Spaine Doe you beléeue that this Morrice would make peace if hée were thereto requested by some mighty prince The Archduke I haue heretofore promised him the prouince of Holland so he would yéelde to be my subiect The King of Spaine Well séeing he had refused the same what shall we then doe to get him with vs. The Archduke To pray the Pope to be a meanes therein for perchaunce he may perswade him thereto The King of Spaine That cannot be so for it is 〈◊〉 them to frequent him by reason of their beliefe The Archduke This peace may be concluded like that of France for he dooth onely fight for liberty The King of Spaine to the Pope Holy father I am now come to your holines with prayers vnto you to take so much paines as to perswade if it be in your power the estates to yéelde themselues and to promise vnto Morrice and them that yéelding themselues to me they shall be most happy for I will promise them liberty of their conscience The Pope to the King of Spaine My sonne you haue wrong For all my skill doe I imploy to draw those people from their erronious way wherein they doe persist and will you haue me suffer them to continue therein The King of Spaine Holy father pardon him who with griefe doe not know what to say I speake it for a trueth The Pope I would satisfie you if it did consist in my power and that I had authority ouer them but
