for the necessarie defence of the land and payment of the garrisons to agree vnto the raising and payment of the new companies then raised And also that he thought it conuenient and winked thereat that diuers townes to the eminent danger of the land gaue their consents with strange and vnaccustomed exceptions 26 That to make the seruice and counsell of his Excellencie in all places vnprofitable and of no force he sought to disgrace and scandalize his said Excellencie by diuers calumniations and vtterly to dishonour him making men beleeue that hee sought to haue the soueraigntie of the Land in his owne power and that he had practised the same by premeditated counsell at the very same time and houre that the necessitie of the Common-wealth in the highest degree required his said Excellencies aduice in secret assemblies of certaine Deputies for the gouernment being his confederates with other such like imputations and that thereupon he also had conference with other Countries by letters written in ciphers and by him sent abroad 27 That he by certaine persons expresly sent out in the night time aduertised the Magistrate of Leyden that his Excellencie was to goe from the Hage and that apparantly he would goe thither that they therfore should stand vpon their guard and aduertise other their neighbour townes thereof that they also should looke vnto themselues Vpon which his aduice it followed that the watch-bell being rung the new souldiers and shot ran to armes at midnight and some townes in Holland by them were aduertised with all speed to looke vnto themselues as aforesaid as also that the gates of the said towne were kept shut the next day after vntill hee gaue them other aduice that his Excellencie was gone another way although he had no intent of harme against that nor any other towne 28 That hee confessed that hee was much grieued and discontented when he vnderstood that the towne of Brill to preuent the sending of new companies of souldiers thither was guarded by the ordinary garrison of the Generall States therein placed by his Excellencie and that he wrought from Vtrecht to the ordinary counsels of Holland and West-Freisland to aduertise and forewarne all the townes of the said Prouinces to looke well vnto themselues 29 That also to withdraw the ordinary souldiers from the obedience of the Generall States and of his Excellencie he had laboured by all the meanes he could to make them to vnderstand that they were by oath bound before all others to obey the States of the particular Prouinces their pay-masters though it were against the generall States and his Excellencie as also that they ought and were bound expresly to resist their commandements whensoeuer they should vndertake any thing contrary to the wills or resolutions of the States of the Prouinces and the Magistrates of the townes wherein they should lie in garrison 30 And when the Generall States perceiuing that they could not by any serious aduertisements or instances attaine to the discharging of the new companies of souldiers thought it conuenient to send other committies with his Excellencie to Vtrecht he practised and found meanes that by very few Gentlemen three townes and some counsell of State which had no commission so to doe Hoogerbeets Grotius and some others were appointed Committies to goe to Vtrecht and there in the name of the States of Holland and West-Freesland to profer all aide and counsell to the States and Magistrates of Vtrecht for the staying and letting of the discharge of the new companies giuing letters also to the commanders of the souldiers there that were likely to be discharged drawne by him the said prisoner and yet not read in the assembly then holden whereby they were aduertised that they were bound and obliged to be true and obedient to their pay-masters togither with the States of the respectiue Prouinces wherein they lay in garrison or were otherwise imployed and to aide and assist them in vpholding of all their resolutions without doing or attempting any thing or suffering to be done or attempted to the contrary 31 That he also affirmed that the commission giuen to his Excellencie and other their Committies of the Generall States touching the discharging of the new Companies if it were done without the consent of the States of Vtrecht was contrary to the vnion and would be a cause of force which might be vsed to expell force as well as they did and were compelled to doe against the King of Spaine and his Gouernors whereas he himselfe by his remonstrances giuen out in writing sheweth that all violent courses are corosiue and ruinous for the state of the Land and a right Spanish counsell tending to the subuersion and vtter ruine of these famous Prouinces Whereupon it followed that the aforesaid Hoogerbeets Grotius and other Deputies comming to Vtrecht to the intent aforesaid secretly and in priuate assemblies aduised with some of the States of Vtrecht

discharging of the aforesaid new companies of souldiers had deliuered their letters to the aforesaid ordinarie souldiers 32 That he had reuealed the secrets of the Land and contrary to the acts of soueraigntie of his owne authoritie without the knowledge or consent of any of the Prouinces refused and denied to accept of certaine notable vnexpected alliance which in the highest degree concerned the Common wealth 33 That he procured diuers Courts of Iustice in the administration of their offices by diuers wayes and in seuerall matters contrarie to the lawes priuiledges freedomes and statutes
