séemeth a greater and more particuler intelligence in that Cuntry thē you can haue in this Therfore you ought not look for any greater aide from that Cuntrie then he and with so smalle a number there is no great likelyhood that you should much preuaile in your affaires For if they could conuay into this Realme so great forces that they were sufficient to establish you in the Royaltie the taking of New Hauen hath giuen vs to vnderstand and it is to be presumed that they which doo vpholde the Crown of Fraunce both in their hartes and titles would not vse such Charitie towards you as to trauaile rather for you then for their owne proper selues I wil not héere discourse what woork we might giue them at home wherby we might withdraw them soone out of Fraunce and so driue them to regarde their own Cuntry for you know very well the greatnes and power of that Cuntry And as touching the Germaynes call to your remembrance Sir that when the Huguenots were in their best strength and as on might say in the very flower of their age and that all things séemed to smile on them and that many yéers before by the crop they made in Fraunce they had laid vp great tresures they called to their succour so many Ruitters as they could and yet for al this they cannot make any reckoning of any on victory on their side So that if the Ruitters remember themselues they ought to be more affraid to approche néere the Frenchmen then the Frenchmen should de discouraged to sée them in their Country But now at this time wherin the Huguenots are vpon theire deelining and as it were vpon their graues as commonly we sée that féeble things are of no long continuance and that their shoulders doo bowe with the blowes we haue giuen them yea that they haue not one teaster because they can finde nothing more to gleane in this Kingdome wherupon then can they ground this their imagination to cause the Germaynes to rush foorth into Fraunce to strengthē you If we should make any account of the affection which they doo beare to the cause doo you think Sir they wil be more pricked with deuotion to make you King then they were before to establish the Huguenot Religion As touching the generall grounding of ones Religion it séemeth that all men are prouoked therto by a naturall affection but what occasion haue they so to loue your person as in making you King they would forgoe their owne commodity and quietnes what manner of importance is it to them who were King of Fraunce If therfore you haue made triall that to cause thē mount on horseback you must haue your pursse to be heard Iyngle not speak deafly that since the declining of the Huguenots forces they would not stirre being neuer so often called by them by what reason doo you hope that they would come to you gratis to rule an Estate wherin they haue nothing to doo Put the case that these things were so desperate as they must be called vnder the condition to vse Fraunce as a Cuntry allready gotten should this be any other thing then héertofore hath béen offered them when the likelyhoods did promise some successe to the enterprise and besides this they knowe that the accomplishment of this condition dependeth not on the conuention made but on the victory And if you take them for such as in déed they are that is hirelings and seruing them that offer moste what greater assurance can you giue them now for their pay when you shall finde your selfe in like termes of dispute for the Crowne of Fraunce as in times past Where are your new treasurs where are your demeanes in Fraunce would you not then seaze vpon them what if they would no more to your commaundement then than they doo now As for that you might recouer by way of borowing in England you would be but little the richer therby For when you haue gotten fiftie thousand Crownes vpon Iewels of the value of two hundreth thousād as the Quéene your mother did that would be the vttermoste in all the world yet this suffizeth not to make thrée musters of the two leaste Garrisons which you haue I leaue aside the small commoditie you should finde to send forces to méet the Ruitters to back them when they enter the Realme if in case you had made leuey of them But admit that all things should fall out according as you doo hope for doo you not think that he which shall be consecrated and proclaimed king of Fraunce who should haue in his hand all the Townes and forces of the Realme who shall dispose of the treasure and riches of the same at his owne pleasure and who shall maintaine the ancient alliances of this Crowne doo you not think I say that for a hundred of your Ruitters he will cause that ten thousand shall come Then since you knowe Sir that this nation is accustomed to let out to him their hardines and blood why doo not you perswade your selfe that he which giueth moste shall haue moste of them Haue we not séene that the King hath had more of them and more often then the Huguenots haue and such haue taken the Kings parte against them who first were with them against the King Furthermore are we not able to breake your determinations with the Germains in giuing them more money to tarry at home then you can giue them to come hether to haue their heads broken Are not we able to sowe maintain such diuisions amongst thē which are already partly brought to effect which will bridle them so short and 〈◊〉 them so néerly at home that they shall haue no leisure to think vpon their neighbours affaires Beholde héer Sir the great effects which by all discourse of reason you may expect aswell of England as off Germanye They tell you to put you in comfort that the Huguenots make the third part of Fraunce If you haue registred in the book of your housholde such Calculators for your instructions in Arithmatique that betime you wil crosse them out againe otherwise I forsée that you are in dāger to become a very bad Arithmaticion But to the end you should not rely on such rediculous and fantasticall presumptions what doo it auaile to you how great soeuer the number of Huguenots are in this Realme séeing when it coms to handiblows they are not on your side neither wil strengthen your cause And where vpon can you ground this opiniō that if you were in that poynt euen to striue for the Kingdome that they will showe them selues rather to be on your side then they haue doon héertofore whē you stroue for Religion can one possibly beléeue that they will be more hardly to make you King then they haue béen to authorise their own beléefe surely it should not séeme true Now I come to the inconuenience wherunto you may runne as they alleadge if you forsake the Huguenots
