me the waters of Spau for the swelling of my arme to which I had a long time been subject and that the season of the yeere being now fitted for it this journey by her permission would fall out opportunely not onely to remove me from Court but from France also and so the King my husband might understand that being unable to be with him by reason of the Kings distrust I would not remaine in that place where warre was made against him and that I hoped that her wisdome would so dispose of things in time that the King my husband should obtaine a peace of the King and returne into his favour that I would attend to heare that happy news to have then permission to repayre unto him and that in this voyage to the Spau Madame the Princesse of Roche-sur-yon who was there present would doe me the honour to accompany me The Queene my mother did much applaude my resolution and told me that she was glad that I had taken this advise affirming that this evill counsell which the Bishops gave the King not to make good his promises but to breake whatsoever he had contracted with the Huguenots for him had for many considerations brought her much affliction especially seeing this impetuous torrent drew along with it and ruined the most understanding and the faithfullest servants that the King had in his counsell for the King had thereupon removed foure or five of the most noble and apparent in all his Counsell Moreover she affirmed it left a deep impression in her to see the truth of what I represented that staying at Court I could not avoide one of those two evills either that the King my husband would dislike that stay and be off●nded at it or that the King would distrust me supposing that I gave intelligence to the King my husband shee said that she would perswade the King to give consent unto the voyage which she did and the King discoursed with me of it without the least apparence of being angry being well content that he had diverted me from my husband whom he hated more then all the world besides and commanded that a Post should be dispatched to Don John of Austria who commanded in Flanders for the King of Spaine to intreat him to give me necessary warrants to passe freely through the countrey of his Authority because I must of necessitie travell through Flanders to goe to the waters of Spau which are in the lands belonging to the Bishop of Leige This being determined we severed our selves for a little space during which time my Brother imployed himselfe to instruct me in some desired offices concerning his enterprise in Flanders and the King and Queene my mother removed to Poictiers to be neerer the army of Monsieur de Mayenne who besieged Brovage and who from thence was to passe into Gascogny to make warre against the King my husband My brother also was to march with another army of which he was Commander to besiege Issoire and some other Townes which shortly after he took in and I prepared my self for my Journey into Flanders attended with Madame the Princesse of Roche-sur-yon with Madame de Tournon my Dame of honour with Madame de Mouy of Picardie with Madame La Chastelayne of Millon with Madamoselle d' Atrie with Madamoselle de Tournon and with seven or eight Gentlewomen more and with Noblemen as Monsieur the Cardinall of Lenoncourt with Monsieur the Bishop of Langres with Monsieur de Mouy Lord of Picardie with the chiefe Esquires and many other Gentlemen of my house This company gave such delight to strangers who found it so full of state and lustre that they had France in farre more admiration My litter was of Carnation velvet imbroydered with works of Gold and Silke The invention of the worke and the Impresses were easie to be seene this Litter was glazed round and every glasse had a device in it there being in the works of Velvet and in the glasse fourty different Inventions with Italian and Spanish Mottoes on the Sun and his effects this litter was followed with the litter of Madame the Princesse of Roche-sur-yon and with the litter of Madame de Tournon my Dame of Honour and with ten wayting Gentlewomen on Horse with their governesse and with sixe caroaches in which the rest of the Ladies and women were I passed through Picardie where the Citties had commandment from the King to receive me as if himself were present and they did me all the honour that I could desire Being arrived at Castelet which is a fort three miles from the frontire of Cambresis the Bishop of Cambray whose Church acknowledged not then the King of Spaine but for her Protector sent a Gentleman unto me to know the houre of my departure thence intending to meet me at my entrance into his Lands where I found him well attended with people who had the habite and apparence of true Flemmings as they are very grosse in those parts The Bishop was of the House of Barlemont one of the Principall houses in Flanders but who in a Flemmish brest had a Spanish heart as they made it apparent to me being one of those that did most assist Don John but yet he received me with great honour and no lesse Spanish ceremonies I found this Citie of Cambray although not builded with such strong materialls as curs of France yet farre more delightfull the Cities and houses thereof being better disposed and proportioned and the Churches very faire and large a common ornament to all the Townes in France that which I found in this Citie most remarkeable was the Cittadell one of the strongest and fairest in Christendome which being since under the obedience of my Brother the Spaniards to their costs have proved A noble and worthy Gentleman Monsieur de Ainsi was the Governour of it who in grace in presence and all qualities requisite to a perfect Gentleman was nothing inferiour to our most accomplished Courtiers and no way partaking of that naturall clownishnesse which seemeth proper to the Flemmings The Bishop made us a banquet and delighted us after supper with the pleasure of a Maske to which all the Ladies of that Citie came but being there himself not present for suddenly after the supper he retired himself being as I have said of a Spanish and ceremonious humour Monsieur de Ainsi the most apparent in that troupe was left behinde to entertaine me at the Maske and to have me afterwards to a Collation of confects but very unadvisedly as I conceive for this was he who had the charge of the Cittadell I speake this having learned it to my own expence and knowing more then I would desire what belongeth to the guarditg of such a place The remembrance of my brother being not to be divided from my heart because I loved nothing more then him I often did thinke on the instructions which he had given me and seeing a fayre opportunitie offered to
