and Vri. He builded a strong Castle by his Lords command neare Altorf which in their tongue he named Twing Vri c. Which is as much as the yoake by which those of Vri shall be brought to the vttermost slauerie and obedience This Castle being finished he caused within Altorff to be set vp a high Pole and vpon the top a flat Cap commaunding that euery man with vncouering of the head and bowing of the knee should honour the said Cap as much as if the Emperour or himselfe in person were present knowing well that those which hated the Emperor him would neuer doe the same but he did it to the end that he might haue occasion to attache those which were suspected It chaunced that one William Tell at sundrie times passing by the Cap honoured not the same which being reported to the Gouernour he sought to excuse himselfe in saying that he knew not that the matter was of such importance But Grislerus not content heerewith tooke one of William Tels sonnes whom he knew the Father loued best and laying an Appell vpon the childes head said vnlesse then you shoote of this Appell without hurting the childe thou shalt dye The Father answered that hee would rather dye then aduenture it Well quoth the Gouernour except that thou doost it both thy selfe and thy sonne shall dye William Tel perceiuing that prayers would take no place there tooke the Bowe into his hand and there through Gods helpe shot off the Apell without touching the childe The Gouernour had marked that William Tel had taken two arrowes out of the Quiuer whereof the one he had stucke at his girdell wherfore he asked what he ment thereby William Tel answered that he ment nothing thereby but that it was the order of Archers The Gouernour not content therewith would needs know the grounde of the matter promising him that if hee would tell him the trueth his life should not be touched William Tell vpon these promises said that his intent was if he had slaine his sonne with the one arrow to haue killed the Gouernour with the other O wicked wretch quoth Grislerus thy life will I not take but I will commit thee to a prison where thou shalt see neither sunne nor moone nor speake to any body and there thou shalt end thy daies And causing his hands and feete to be bound tooke him with him in a ship going from Vri to Cusnac When being in the middest of the lake there arose such a mightie storme that they esteemed themselues lost the Marriners not being able to guide the Ship abandoned the same to the mercie of the windes and the waters and Grislerus in this distresse asked if there were no meanes to get a shore whatsoeuer it might cost Wherevpon one of his seruants replyed that he doubted not but they should get a shore if William Tell might stand at the Helme for he was a strong man and very expert at Sea which they hearing vnbound William Tell and set him at the Helme where he laboured greatly to bring the Ship neere the land which within a while did and espying a great Rocke which at this day is yet called Tels Rocke he steered the Barke fully thereupon and at the approaching leauing the Helme and catching his bowe and arrowes leapt ouer boorde vppon the Rocke and withall his might launching the Barke againe ranne into the countrie and the Barke after long tossing some dayes after got to Brunnen from whence Grislerus trauailed towards Cusnac by land William Tell beeing well acquainted with the wayes hid himselfe behinde certaine bushes in a Valley through the which hee knewe Grislerus should passe and hauing his Bowe in a readinesse at the tyrants passing by shot him thorough which done because that he would not be taken he fled to some cheefe persons which hee knew to be great enemies of the Emperours and Gouernours vnto which he declared the matter and hauing consulted vppon it tooke heart and by little and little droue all Albertus officers out of the lande thereby recouering their lost freedome which vntill this daye they holde Compare our Albertus with his Cardinals flatte Cap to this Albertus wherof we haue spoken and you shall finde that two Egges laide by one Henne cannot resemble one another better Beholde the ende Assoone as Albertus got the Scepter in his hande hee made strife and debate in Switzerland The which with subtiltie and afterwardes with strife and odio●s practises he sought to ioyne to his house But Albertus aymed amisse the valiant sturdie Switzers haue for their countries fréedome spared neyther goods nor blood they ioyned togither and played the men vntill such time as they had banished Albert out of the land XI The noble bloud of the house of Nassau a His excellencie hauing driuen the enemy out of Emricke rendered the same willinglye into the hands of the Duke of Cleue without any wayes touching any one in life or goods holdeth yet the same steps which Adolph long agoe shewed them Albert likewise followeth the paces of his Graund-fathers who tyrannized Switzerland he séeketh to teare and seperate the land of Cleue from the Empire as euery one may see b These bloud-suckers were not contented in hauing taken the good Earle of Brookes Castell and imprisoned him but haue against their promises most wickedly murthered him and burnt his body to Ashes Oh cruell tyrants but O worthie Earle who in dying in the right beleefe didst witnesse the true religion with thy blood The goods of this good Lord were publikely with the sounde of Drum and Trumpet solde in the campe euen as the souldiours are vsed to fell the

long will you suffer this how long will you sléepe with open eyes is it not yet enough the Spaniarde himselfe saith that you are Lyons c That some thinke that Albertus with his ayders vpon the writings and requests of any King or Prince would leaue and abandon the confederate citties is in vaine But will do as of late yeares did the Earle Tunis of Oldenborch who hauing forcibly taken the house or castell of Dolmerhorst with the appurtenances Those of Spier in the Emperours name wrote vnto him that he should render the same againe to those vnto whom it did lawfully belong The Earle hauing receiued the Letters after the contents read helde them a prittie while to his eare saying I heare no Gunnes as if he would haue saide what I haue purchased by force of armes I will not suffer to bee taken awaye againe by papers but bite not XII O thou God of hoasts vouchsafe mercifully to beholde thy countrie and defend the same with thy strong arme against these halfe white Moores Suffer
