         EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.
         EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).
         The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.
         Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.
         Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.
         Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.
         The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.
         Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

           Now
           ,
           since
           the
           time
           that
           Spain
           came
           to
           this
           height
           by
           such
           a
           marvellous

           since
           these
           huge
           Accumulations

           The
           first
           Countrey
           that
           rose
           up
           and
           revolted
           from
           the
           King
           of
           Spain
           was
           Holland
           with
           her
           five
           considerate
           Provinces

           which
           happen'd
           a
           little
           after
           the
           beginning
           of
           Queen
           Elizabeths

           2.
           
           The
           second
           was
           Catalonia
           ,
           some
           twelve
           years

           The
           third
           was
           the
           Kingdom
           of
           Portugal
           ,
           which
           entirely
           fell
           off
           from
           him
           a
           little
           after
           ,
           and
           setled
           it self
           under
           another
           King
           in
           a
           very
           few
           dayes
           ,
           in
           such
           a
           quietness
           as
           if
           it
           had
           been
           twenty
           years

           The
           last
           that
           banded
           against
           him
           were
           the
           Kingdoms
           of
           Sicily
           and
           Naples
           ,
           which
           happen'd
           about
           four
           years
           since
           ;
           but
           the
           fire
           of
           the
           first
           was
           quickly
           extinguisht
           ;
           yet
           the
           flames
           thereof
           flew
           ore
           the
           Phare
           of
           Messina

           Calabria

           and
           so
           to
           Naples
           ,
           where
           they
           grew
           to
           such
           a
           violence
           ,
           that
           an
           utter
           revolt
           was
           intended

           of
           Holland

           the
           causes
           thereof
           may
           be
           comprehended
           in
           two

           the
           latter

           off
           in

           of

           HISTORY
           Of
           the
           late
           REVOLUTIONS
           IN
           THE
           KINGDOM
           of
           NAPLES
           ,
           And
           how
           suppressed
           and
           ended
           .
        
         
           BEfore
           we
           fall
           upon
           the
           second
           and
           third
           Revolutions
           that
           happened
           in
           the
           City
           and
           Kingdom
           of
           Naples
           ,
           it
           is
           not
           amiss
           ,
           for
           the
           more
           regular
           proceeding
           in
           the
           series
           of
           the
           Story
           ,
           to
           make
           a
           succinct
           recapitulation
           of
           what
           succeeded
           in
           the
           first
           tumult
           ,
           wherein
           some
           signal
           passages
           shall
           be
           imparted
           ,
           which
           were
           omitted
           in
           the
           former
           Narration
           ,
           for
           want
           of
           better
           Intelligence
           .
        
         
           The
           Gabel
           of
           Fruit
           ,
           and
           the
           Act
           confirmed
           ,
           newly
           impos'd
           upon
           the
           most
           faithful
           people
           of
           Naples
           ,
           was
           insupportable
           ;
           to
           which
           purpose
           the
           Viceroy
           made
           the
           Lords
           of
           the
           Customs
           to
           Convene
           divers
           times
           hereabouts
           ;
           and
           it
           was
           at
           last
           determined
           ,
           that
           it
           should
           be
           utterly
           abolished
           ;
           and
           that
           the
           said
           Lords
           should
           find
           
           some
           means
           where
           another
           Imposition
           might
           be
           laid
           for
           satisfaction
           of
           those
           moneys
           which
           the
           Royal
           Court
           had
           rais'd
           upon
           the
           credit
           of
           the
           foresaid
           Gabel
           .
           The
           people
           were
           also
           mightily
           discontented
           for
           other
           Taxes
           which
           were
           laid
           upon
           every
           edible
           thing
           ;
           for
           there
           was
           scarce
           any
           commodity
           scap'd
           ,
           but
           the
           Imposition
           did
           countervail
           well
           near
           the
           value
           of
           the
           thing
           ;
           whereunto
           the
           most
           faithful
           people
           did
           conform
           a
           long
           time
           ,
           as
           holding
           it
           necessary
           for
           the
           support
           of
           the
           Catholick
           Monarchy
           ,
           by
           stooping
           their
           heads
           to
           the
           pleasure
           of
           him
           who
           Reigned
           over
           them
           ,
           and
           preserv'd
           them
           in
           peace
           .
        
         
           The
           foresaid
           Lords
           often
           met
           to
           take
           off
           the
           new
           Gabel
           ;
           but
           for
           want
           of
           money
           ,
           and
           for
           the
           calamities
           of
           the
           times
           ,
           they
           knew
           not
           where
           to
           turn
           themselves
           :
           Besides
           ,
           the
           people
           grew
           to
           be
           wonderful
           impatient
           ;
           whereupon
           one
           day
           as
           they
           were
           exacting
           the
           said
           Gabel
           in
           the
           Market-place
           ,
           a
           shrewd
           clash
           happened
           'twixt
           the
           Farmers
           of
           the
           said
           Gabel
           and
           the
           Fruiterers
           ,
           to
           whom
           the
           Costermongers
           did
           closely
           stick
           ;
           and
           the
           business
           being
           aggravated
           by
           multiplication
           of
           words
           ,
           all
           respect
           was
           lost
           unto
           the
           said
           Farmers
           ;
           insomuch
           that
           the
           Toll-house
           was
           burnt
           to
           the
           ground
           ,
           with
           all
           the
           Writings
           therein
           ,
           by
           the
           fury
           of
           Boys
           ,
           and
           others
           of
           the
           poorest
           sort
           of
           people
           ;
           among
           whom
           Massaniello

           a
           poor
           bare-footed
           retailer
           of
           Fish
           ,
           was

           .
           The

           Elect
           of
           the
           people
           ,
           interven'd
           to
           appease
           the
           tumult
           ;
           but
           finding
           the
           business
           too
           hot
           for
           him
           ,
           he
           withdrew
           himself
           ,
           and
           with
           much
           difficulty
           and
           danger
           scap'd
           away
           in

           The
           rabble
           of
           the
           common

           ,
           the
           boys
           went
           up

           By

           Afterwards

           the
           Palace

           where
           they
           furiously
           entred

           The
           Viceroy

           upon
           a
           sudden
           ,
           which
           gave
           a
           general
           discontentment

           That
           night
           there
           was
           nothing

           The
           Viceroy
           thought
           it
           expedient
           in
           policy
           to

           who
           mounting
           on
           horseback
           rode
           up
           and
           down
           Naples
           well
           accompanied
           ,
           asking
           the
           people
           with
           all
           mildness
           what
           they
           would
           have
           :
           they
           cried
           out
           ,
           That
           they
           would
           have

           were
           imposed
           upon
           them
           since
           the
           time
           of
           Charles
           the
           Fifth
           ,
           and
           that
           all
           the
           priviledges
           should
           be
           renewed
           ,
           &
           punctually
           observ'd

           which
           were
           granted
           to
           the
           most
           faithful
           people
           of
           Naples
           by
           that
           Emperour
           .
           The
           Viceroy
           with
           all
           meekness
           said
           it
           should
           be
           done
           ;
           therefore
           he
           suddenly
           caus'd
           a
           Pragmatica
           or
           Proclamation
           to

           and
           publish'd
           to
           that
           purpose
           ,
           with
           the
           advice

             Collateral
             Councel
          
           .
           Yet
           this
           would
           not
           satisfie
           ,
           but
           they
           cried
           out
           that
           the
           Duke
           of

           couzen'd
           them

           therefore
           they
           took

           ,
           whence
           he
           afterwards
           fled
           .
        
         
           After
           dinner
           the
           Prior
           of
           Rovella
           procur'd
           another

           carrying
           it
           about

           and
           so
           went

           But
           this
           neither

           but
           they

           taking
           special
           care
           that
           nothing

           us'd
           him
           with
           the
           same
           punctuality
           :
           Thence
           they
           steer'd
           their
           course
           to
           
             Antonio
             d'
             Angelis
          
           ,
           and
           did
           the
           like
           ;
           Thence
           they
           went
           to
           
             Andrea
             Anaclerio's
          
           Palace
           ,
           who
           was
           the
           Peoples
           Elect
           ;
           and
           though
           't
           was
           late
           ,
           yet
           they
           us'd
           his
           house
           as
           they
           did
           the
           rest
           .
        
         
           The
           next
           day
           the
           Viceroy
           commanded
           to
           be
           proclaim'd
           by
           sound
           of
           Trumpet
           ,
           that
           all
           Gabels
           should
           be
           abolish'd
           that
           were
           impos'd
           ever
           since
           the
           time
           of
           Charles
           the
           fifth
           ,
           which
           Trumpeters
           went
           up
           and
           down
           the
           places
           ,
           as
           well
           within
           the
           City
           as
           towards
           the
           Sea
           side
           where
           the
           Gabel
           houses
           stood
           :
           Yet
           for
           all
           this
           they
           ran
           to
           the
           house
           whete
           the
           Magazine
           of
           Powder
           was
           ,
           and
           took
           away
           what
           proportions
           they
           pleas'd
           :
           nor
           would
           this
           serve
           the
           turn
           ,
           but
           they
           set
           fire
           to
           what
           remain'd
           ,
           with
           the
           death
           of
           forty
           men
           ;
           which
           made
           such
           a
           hideous
           noise
           ,
           as
           if
           not
           only
           one
           City
           ,
           but
           the
           whole
           world
           did
           tremble
           :
           Hereupon
           every
           one
           did
           put
           himself
           in
           Arms
           ,
           and
           the
           women
           were
           as
           busie
           as
           any
           .
        
         
           In
           the
           Sellaria
           they
           planted
           five
           pieces
           of
           Ordnance
           ,
           six
           hundred
           Foot
           pass'd
           by
           Magdanela
           bridge
           ,
           to
           be
           imbarked
           in
           some
           Gallies
           for
           the
           Kings
           service
           ;
           but
           the
           rabble
           fell
           upon
           them
           ,
           and
           took
           away
           their
           Arms
           for
           another
           use
           .
           The
           Nobility
           fail'd
           not
           ever
           and
           anon
           to
           court
           the
           Viceroy
           in
           behalf
           of
           the
           people
           ,
           who
           now
           began
           to
           prohibit
           things
           to
           pass
           to
           his
           Palace
           .
           One
           would
           think
           now
           that
           he
           had
           been
           in
           Cocagna
           or
           Lubberland
           ,
           for
           every
           thing
           entred
           into
           Naples
           without
           
           paying
           the
           least
           toll
           ;
           nor
           could
           a
           Sergeant
           be
           scarce
           seen
           in
           the
           streets
           ,
           nor
           any
           Officer
           that
           had
           any
           thing
           to
           do
           with
           the
           Farmers
           of
           the
           Gabel
           .
        
         
           The
           next
           morning
           the
           rabble
           went
           to
           the
           Lord
           Antonio
           Mirabello's
           house
           ,
           whom
           they
           took
           in
           bed
           ,
           and
           he
           hardly
           scap'd
           away
           in
           his
           shirt
           ;
           they
           presently
           burnt
           all
           his
           movables
           ,
           which
           made
           a
           rich
           bonefire
           ;
           thence
           they
           went
           to
           Duke
           
           Caviano's
           house
           ,
           and
           used
           him
           alike
           ,
           with
           many
           other
           sair
           Palaces
           ,
           :
           Then
           they
           came
           to
           Caesar
           Librano's
           house
           ,
           where
           scarce
           a
           pin
           scap'd
           the
           fury
           of
           the
           fire
           :
           In
           the
           same
           manner
           they
           came
           to
           the
           Duke
           of
           
           Ostuin's
           house
           ,
           and
           to
           Dr.
           
           Tavaglo's
           ,
           where
           they
           did
           the
           like
           .
           They
           sent
           to
           
             Andrea
             Mazzola
          
           for
           fifteen
           hundred
           Muskets
           ,
           but
           denying
           he
           had
           any
           ,
           they
           put
           fire
           to
           his
           house
           ,
           and
           took
           out
           the
           said
           Muskets
           :
           Every
           House-keeper
           in
           Naples
           was
           commanded
           to
           put
           himself
           in
           Arms
           immediately
           ,
           under
           pain
           of
           having
           his
           house
           burnt
           .
           There
           were
           some
           sixty
           Spaniards
           in
           garrison
           about
           the
           Tower
           of
           St.
           Laurence
           ,
           but
           the
           rabble
           ran
           thither
           with
           two
           Cannons
           ,
           where
           they
           disarmed
           and
           thrust
           out
           the
           Spaniards
           ,
           and
           possess'd
           themselves
           of
           all
           the
           ancient
           Records
           that
           were
           in
           those
           Archives
           ,
           so
           they
           plac'd
           presidial
           Forces
           of
           their
           own
           there
           .
           Then
           they
           put
           fire
           to
           
             Biasio
             de
          
           Balsamo's
           house
           ,
           whence
           they
           pass'd
           to
           
             Bartholomeo
             d'
             Auqino
          
           of
           Chaia
           ,
           and
           treated
           him
           as
           they
           did
           all
           the
           rest
           ;
           but
           they
           spared
           the
           house
           he
           had
           in
           Pizzifalione
           ,
           which
           they
           turn'd
           to
           a
           fortress
           :
           
             Jeronymo
             Nacarella
          
           had
           his
           share
           in
           this
           Tragedy
           ,
           who
           had
           a
           sumptuous
           new
           Palace
           made
           level
           with

           House
           ,
           where
           it

           .
           One
           may
           easily
           conjecture
           in
           what
           pickle
           the
           poor

           necessary
           Advenues

           man
           who
           was
           employed

           his
           commands
           with
           that
           reservedness
           and
           punctuality
           that
           't
           was
           wonderful
           ,
           but
           some
           under-dealings

           alter
           his
           habit
           ,
           but
           went
           still
           barefoot
           ,
           and
           in

           so
           that
           the
           common
           cry
           was

           and
           Massaniello
           ,
           and
           there
           was
           such
           an
           opinion
           conceiv'd
           of
           him

           him
           to
           be
           divinely
           inspir'd
           ,
           so
           that
           every
           nod
           of
           his
           went
           for
           an
           absolute
           Command
           :
           This
           opinion
           was
           confirm'd
           by
           a
           strange
           Passage
           ,
           which
           was
           ,
           That
           certain
           Banditos
           and

           Muskets
           at
           him

           but
           they
           did
           
           no
           execution

           all
           Coaches

           the
           Monastery

           whereupon
           he
           thinking
           to
           flee
           under
           a
           disguised

           his
           head
           chopp'd
           off

           with
           three
           servants

           his
           brother
           the
           Duke
           ,
           hereupon
           took
           a
           fair
           pair
           of
           heels

           and
           fled
           towards
           Rome
           ,
           as
           't
           was
           thought
           .
        
         
           Massaniello
           began
           now
           to
           send
           out
           his
           Commands
           very
           magisterially
           ,
           and
           the
           penalty
           of
           his
           Commands
           were
           ,
           
             Sotto
             pena
             della
             vita

             &
             incendio

           under
           pain
           of
           life
           and
           firing
           :
           he
           commanded
           that
           every
           Window
           should
           have
           lights
           in
           them
           ,
           which
           was
           punctually
           perform'd
           ,
           which
           seem'd
           to
           embellish
           the
           City
           ,
           and
           make
           the
           streets
           as
           lightsome
           by
           night

           day
           .
        
         
           Another
           peremptory
           Command
           of
           his
           came
           out
           ,
           that
           all
           should
           go
           
             en
             cuerpo
          
           without
           Clokes
           ,
           which
           extended
           to
           Priests
           and
           Bishops
           ,
           who
           went
           up
           and
           down
           only
           in
           Cassocks
           ,
           Ladies
           and
           Gentlewomen
           were
           forbidden
           likewise
           to
           go
           abroad

           Gowns
           or
           Kirtles
           ,
           and
           the
           reason
           was
           ,
           that
           they
           might
           carry
           no
           arms
           underneath
           .
           A
           report
           did
           fly
           ,
           that
           the
           Duke
           of
           Mataluni
           had
           poison'd
           the
           waters
           of
           Formali
           ,
           which
           serv'd
           the
           City
           ,
           this
           made
           the
           rest
           of
           the
           Nobles
           to
           be
           so
           ill
           look'd
           upon
           ,
           that
           happy
           was
           he
           who
           could
           fly
           away
           first
           from
           the
           City
           .
           The
           women
           up
           and
           down
           did
           wonderfully
           encourage
           their
           husbands
           ,
           and
           all
           traffique
           except
           Market-solks
           was
           quite
           down
           .
        
         
         
           There
           came
           in
           the
           heat
           of
           this
           hurly-burly
           eight
           Napolitan
           Gallies
           ,
           which
           were
           missing
           a
           long
           time
           ;
           the
           Viceroy
           commanded
           they

           enter
           into
           the
           Port

           but
           that
           they
           should
           stay

           who
           with
           much

           Being

           Moreover
           ,
           there
           was
           a
           Declaration

           by
           the

           Sollevation

           be
           a
           Rebellion

           and
           so
           passed
           a
           general
           Pardon
           .
        
         
           Massaniello
           gave
           out
           ,
           That
           what
           Courtesan

           desired
           to

           she
           should

           fifty
           Duckets
           given
           
           her
           .
           He
           went
           then
           among
           the
           Gallies
           ,
           and
           made
           a

           them
           .
           He
           was
           feasted
           in
           the
           Castle

           his
           Wife

           but
           the
           next
           day
           he
           committed
           some
           ridiculous
           Extravagancies
           ,
           as
           leaping
           into
           the
           water
           to
           refresh
           himself
           in
           his
           Clothes
           ,
           so
           that
           some
           thought
           he
           had
           a
           fig
           given
           him
           in
           the
           Castle
           to
           intoxicate
           his
           brains
           ;
           Others
           did
           impute
           it
           to
           want
           of
           repose
           and
           sleep
           ,
           for
           he
           was
           wonderfully
           watchful
           ,
           intentive
           ,
           and
           restless
           in
           his
           business
           .
           But
           he
           began
           now
           to
           lose
           the
           wonted
           respect
           among
           the
           Souldiery
           and
           Citizens
           :

             Vitale
          
           his
           Secretary
           giving
           a
           Captain
           a
           cuff
           before
           the
           Castle

           the
           Captain
           and
           others
           fell
           upon
           him
           and
           slew
           him
           .
        
         
           
             Andrea

           with
           others
           ,
           all
           ventrous
           Blades
           ,
           went
           the
           next
           day
           to
           the
           Church
           of
           Carmine
           ,
           where
           they
           found
           Massaniello
           airing
           himself
           ,
           they
           surpriz'd
           and
           dispatch'd
           him
           ,
           and
           cut
           off
           his
           head
           ;
           'T
           was
           thought
           the
           people
           would
           have
           resented
           it
           ,
           but
           it
           proved
           clean
           contrary
           ,
           for
           they
           followed
           the
           Coach
           wherein
           the
           head
           was
           carried
           to
           the
           Viceroy
           ,
           with
           a
           great
           deal
           of
           applause
           and
           triumph
           :
           His
           body
           was
           drag'd
           up
           and
           down
           by
           the
           Boyes
           of
           the
           City
           .
           So
           fell
           the
           bold
           Fisherman
           of
           Naples
           ,
           who
           had
           reign'd
           as
           absolutely
           as
           any
           Sovereign

           space
           of
           eight
           days
           and
           eight
           hours
           ;
           And
           one
           may
           say
           more
           absolutely
           then
           any
           Kings

           are
           restrained
           by
           Laws
           ;
           but
           Massaniello
           was
           beyond
           the
           bounds
           of
           any
           ;
           For
           during
           this
           short
           time
           ,
           he
           caused
           to
           be
           killed
           by
           his
           own
           order
           two
           hundred
           and
           fifty
           persons
           ,
           and
           that
           suddenly
           ,
           giving
           them
           onely
           time
           to
           confess
           ,
           and
           to
           some
           he
           would
           give
           none
           .
           In
           fine
           ,
           He
           was
           thought
           
           to
           be
           more
           then
           a
           man
           ,
           and
           that
           what
           he
           ordered
           was
           ordained

           After
           this
           Tragical
           Act

           went
           with
           Trumpets
           before

           about

           who
           answered

             That

             not

             Therefore
             the
             most
             faithful
             People
             desired
             some
             time
             to

           in
           their
           sleeves

           when
           he
           was
           gone

           so
           little
           they
           feared
           the

           this
           message
           from
           the
           Pope
           did
           so
           little
           prevail
           ,
           that
           the
           next
           day
           the
           people
           buckled
           themselves
           for
           fight
           more
           earnestly
           then
           ever
           ,
           being
           now
           so
           long
           flesh'd
           in
           blood
           that
           it
           made
           them
           little
           sensible
           of
           danger
           ;
           therefore
           all
           that
           day
           there
           was
           Skirmishing

           Towards
           the
           evening
           there
           was
           a

           discovered
           ,
           which
           had
           been
           chased
           by
           two
           Gallies

           but
           narrowly
           scaped
           them
           ;
           this
           Feluca
           came
           safely
           to
           Port
           ,
           and
           she
           brought

           upon
           some
           disgust

           Hereupon

           the
           Bells

           he
           wondred
           at
           the
           
           rashness
           of

           The
           people
           answered

             the
          
           Spaniards
           
             would
             go
             home

           this
           alteration
           of

           longanimity
           of
           the
           Spaniard
           did
           wonderfully
           appear

           The

           mean
           time
           the

           much
           resolution
           ;
           so
           that
           the
           noise
           of
           the
           Cannons
           was
           heard

           he
           did

           together
           with

           Then
           he
           march'd
           towards
           the
           Palace

           who

           were
           absent
           ,
           which
           was
           a
           mighty
           advantage
           to
           the
           business
           ;
           and
           after
           some
           musket-shot
           the
           Palace
           yielded
           ;
           nor
           would
           the
           great
           Cannon

           was
           planted
           there
           go
           off
           ,
           though
           fire
           was
           put
           to
           it
           ;
           so
           that
           all
           things
           seemed
           to
           conspire
           to
           make
           this
           Enterprize
           happy
           .
        
         
           He
           marched
           thence
           to
           the
           great
           Market-place

           and
           approaching

           great
           Bastion
           of

           where
           
             Gennaro
             Arnese
          
           was
           ,
           with
           three
           hundred
           select
           Souldiers
           of
           the
           people
           ;
           he
           sent
           him
           word
           that
           it
           was
           expedient
           that
           the
           said
           Torrion
           or
           Bastion
           should
           be
           put
           into
           his
           hands
           for
           his
           Majesties
           Service
           ;
           and
           if
           he
           would
           not
           conform
           to
           so
           just
           a
           demand
           ,
           he
           left
           him
           to
           consider
           what
           an
           act
           of
           disloyalty
           it
           would
           be
           :
           Arnese
           calling
           his
           best
           thoughts
           to
           consultation
           ,
           held
           it
           a
           desperate
           temerity
           to
           refuse
           ,
           considering
           that
           at
           the
           end
           he
           might
           be
           constrained
           to
           do
           it
           ;
           so
           he
           came
           forth
           ,
           and
           presented
           the
           Keys
           to
           his

           prostrating
           his
           person
           before
           him

           Thereupon
           
             Don

           of
           renowned
           valour

           to
           let
           them
           know
           ,
           That
           it
           was
           his
           pleasure
           to
           grant
           them
           an
           Indulto
           or
           general
           Pardon

           with
           an

           and
           of
           all
           faults
           ,
           provided
           they
           did
           presently
           range
           themselves
           to
           their
           wonted
           allegiance
           .
           Hereupon
           the
           people
           remained
           satisfied
           ;
           but
           they
           desired
           to
           have
           that
           grace
           declared
           unto

           of
           Austria
           himself
           ,
           being
           so
           great
           a
           Prince
           of
           the
           Imperial
           House
           of
           Austria
           ;
           So
           when
           he
           came
           out
           of
           the
           Church
           the
           people
           desired
           His
           Highness
           that
           he
           would
           be
           pleased
           to
           pronounce
           with
           his
           own
           mouth
           what
           he
           promised
           by
           the
           Cavalier
           of
           Malta
           ;
           whereupon
           he
           uttered
           aloud
           what
           the
           said
           Cavalier
           had
           said
           before

           assuring
           them
           
           besides
           of
           further
           demonstrations
           of
           Grace
           srom
           his
           Father
           :
           So
           that
           huge
           croud
           of
           people
           gave
           such
           an
           applause
           that
           might
           have
           rent
           the
           Air
           as
           far
           as
           the
           middle
           Region
           .
        
         
           This
           heroick
           Enterprise
           took
           effect
           almost
           without
           any
           effusion
           of
           blood
           at
           all
           ;
           only
           two
           Spanish
           Captains
           perished
           ,
           and
           one
           of
           the
           peoples
           ,
           with
           some
           few
           wounded
           ;
           all
           which
           may
           be
           imputed
           to
           a
           special
           providence
           of
           God
           in
           the
           first
           place
           ,
           and
           then
           to
           the
           prowess
           of
           a
           young
           General
           ,
           and
           prudence
           of
           a
           grave
           Viceroy
           ;
           And
           lastly
           ,
           to
           the
           absence
           of
           the
           Duke
           of
           Guise
           ,
           who
           was
           much
           taxed
           of
           inadvisedness
           to
           leave
           the
           City
           ,
           as
           matters
           then
           stood
           .
        
         
           The
           next
           morning
           betimes
           the
           Duke
           of
           Tursis
           was
           seen
           walking
           among
           the
           people
           in
           the
           Market-place
           ,
           with
           his
           Nephew

           in
           hand
           ,
           among
           a
           great
           confluence
           of
           people
           ,
           who
           cried

           So
           all
           the
           Bells
           rang
           out
           
             à

           ,
           and
           every

           That
           afternoon
           there

           Towards
           night
           the
           French
