IN my opinion, my masters, if folly, even as drunkenness hath for the hatching and renewing of her humors, her helps added and her time limited, it is now high time for every of you to reclaim himself, even as the man that being drunken and asleep, hath been transported to the wolfes throat, and to forsake the bottomless pit and dangerous gulf, whereunto this Lorain sly hath at this time cast you headlong consider( I beseech you) whether you are now posted of: judge of the purpose by the event and the cause by the effects,& seek out the beginnings of all the webs of this common snare, acknowledging your blindness and faults, and confess that Ulisses companions were never so sore abused by Circes sorceries, as you haue been through their subtle deceit. It is no longer time to play the idiots, or insensible persons, in discerning of this disease. It is great, yea mortal even such as visibly leadeth our daies to their last ouehthrow. Call to mind the time when the grief thereof first assailed you, and through what gates it pierced the inward parts and enclosures of this estate: It was said to be for the upholding of the catholic, apostolic& Romish Church, at such time as the realm was in best quiet, catholic religion most flourishing, and the supposed fears that had respect to the succession of the state farthest off, even when those of the pretended reformed religion were most detained and restrained under the princes edicts,& all states of the realm best ruled and ordered: then I say was born this iest of Lorraine, whose beginning was the weaker through the life and presence of the Duke of Aniou, who stopped the growth thereof and caused it to whither: neither is it unknown what means were used to take away this let: witness the enterprise of Salcede with his accusations and confessions, and finally the poisoning of this prince practised at Paris. This mighty thunderclap, this Pandore immediately entred armed among us, and strait ways troubled our public tranquillity, she altered the brightness of our world and opening her enchanted box she scattered her poison among all degrees of this land. immediately was the people seen to tremble, the subiects to murmur, the provinces to rise, the whole world to storm, and all things to tend to open rebellion yea, it seemed that God had appointed this fury to be the executrix of his secret reuenge,& the public scourge wherewith he meant to chastise the pride and sins of the french nation. The house of guise were the inventors of this mischief, yea they invented it onely to the end, by that bridge to transport al their fortunes to the highest top of the monarchy,& the rather to seize vpon the state: night and day they still laboured to make it way every where, and to enforce the effects thereof, in such sort, that from thence we see all France as it were with a sudden thunderclap at one instant on sire, and the wars kindled on every side: the causes of this commotion being grounded vpon the ordinary complaints of the malcontents, the common wealth, and the zeal of religion, which dog notwithstanding soon vanished away through the peace that ensued: for this counterfeit rate of the people was converted into a simplo disrussion of their private interests: Al that concerned your relief was trod under foot and that raging zeal of their conscience, which consumed their breasts, was refreshed with the tears and damages of the people themselves, and thus al their blasts of common wealth quai●ed in this fox like bravery.  
Then mark their proceedings: What became of the great army committed to the D. of Maines hands, to quail( as he boasted) al the habitable world? He did sufficiently give you to wet, that against armed men their importunate brags were but a found of Fortune, and childrens pastimes: as also that they were more fit to work some practices among a commonalty, then to fight with the enemy. Then seeing there was nothing for them to get among the Huguenots, they abandoned that dangerous skirmish, and returned to their first play among the people, in the towns counterfeiting notable papists, wearing the great beads at their girdess, oftentimes liberally distributing of holy bread among the people, counterfeiting popularity, and showing themselves openly in all processions, to the end, that the nature of the people being a little mollified by their flatteries, and moistened in these poisons, might slide into their passions, and so be more easily snared in their subtleties, and of less defence against their wil●ss. moreover, to forget nothing that might tend to the disposing of them more friendly to their favour, they won al the ordinary preachers to their love, promising to the Curates Byshoprikes, to simplo chaplens cures and priories, and to other, ordinary portions: so that being corrupt by these interests, of Sorbonistes, they became common strebrands, and of preachers charet of the house of lorraine,& every of their pulpits was turned into a school of policy, You may long( my maisters) remember the day of Barricades, where plainly enough you perceived the D. of Guizes puposes, who under the pretence of hindering the correction of twelve or fifteen scapthrifts& dealers in his practices, armed you, causing you to rise against your king, seeking by some extreme mischief to entangle you( as he did) in his faction, and by that felonious maner to bind you to him. Thus serving his own turn with your simplcity, he so craftily edged your furies, that he made you carry babble, and unworthily war against your country and natural prince. Tel me I beseech you, with what face may that be defended, that he then committed among you even as it were in an enemy town& newly conquered? He seized vpon all the fortresses, violently thrusting ou● the kings seruants that held them: he changed the governor and all the Captaines of the town: he formed a new garrison in it: he armed the most wickedest and infamous persons: to be brief, he did all that a tyrant might do for assuring of himself against the laws of the town: yet was all this but the part of a good catholic: it was no attempt against the state, no not so much: yet was it with a sharp sword in hand, proudly and with great boast to play this king. But who is able to be are the impudency of this denial, when I consider that withall he shewed himself so liuelie a gallant as to sand word to all the towns in the realm not to receive the King? Thereby seeking as it were to debar him of fire and water, and to compel him shamefully to beg his living for Gods sake.  
I wot not my maisters what charm may suffice to reclaim you from this enchantment, sith all these things are of no force. Yet hereto ad the things that succeeded even until his death: mark his violent behaviours at the states at Bloys: for the king who supposed this assembly to bee necessary for the providing against the disorders of his realm, to content his people,& to assure himself against the manifest practises of this bold enterprise, being present in persent in person was affonted( weening he had been among his good subiectes) to see himself enuyroned with enemies, who laid ambushes for his life and estate, whose captain and director was the Duke of guise, who openly and without farther dealing with subtleties, did what he could to bring all to that pass, that there might rest to the king nomore power, nor for no longer time then he listed, using no other dissimulation then he that layeth his axe to the reat of a three wherewith to cut it down& lay it along. And even as he prepared all things ready to seize vpon this poor prince, and in triumph to led him captive to Paris, God who layeth open the pretences of the wicked,& oftentimes maketh him to stumble at his own threshold that prepareth himself to a long voyage, did of the sudden stop this mighty hunter, and raised him up as vnpitifull friends, as himself had been bloody and vnplacable in the persecution of so many poor protestants, so that his conspiracy being divinely revealed, the king prevented him but of one day, and in respect of the present dangers was compelled( as in such matters of estate the maner is) to begin by execution and with effect. O how great are the iudgments of God; he that vpon the great day of blood, that flaming day of S. bartholomew had fed his eyes with somany murders, and had sung the triumph, was in the end beaten down with the like endeavour. This death seemeth amongst us to haue opened all the flaces, and broken all the locks of hell, yea,& powred forth vpon this miserable estate al the flames of wrath and vengeance:& as francicke& mad men you catched at this occasion as at a touch wherewith to kindle the fire among yourselves. This is not the place whe● I will use many words to show you that the king had dealt justly: that he could not do otherwise,& that he ought to haue done thus or thus and yet by the way I may tell you, that the pope Gregory the last dealt more cruelly: for he, who in respect of his degree, was to keep his hands clean and unpolluted from blood, did by his Bul without form or order of law cruelly slay the Lord Patris, great vicar to the late Car dinall of Arminack, only vpon a suspicion that he favoured the French. Neither was the D. of Main any whit more moder at in the behalf of poor Birague, one of his faithfullest partisans, whom vpon a very weak argument he siue with his own hands. But admit the King had herein done any thing otherwise then well, was it in you to take notice therof, and as mad men and drunken minds to run to arms& to rise against him? For it is certain that if all the other provinces through their immoderate liberties had any probable arguments against him, their losses haue increased your famelies, and your town hath been the spring that is swelied with the public ruins, as also his presence with the haunt of his court hath in ten daies enritched you threefold. Who then solicited you to so infamous a rebellion? Your domestical interests could not do it: public transgressions, or private injuries there were none much less any pretence of religion: the reuenge of the dead belonged not to you, Gods law forbade you, al worldly laws were against you: What then might be the cause of so great a commotion and such fury? No, no, assure you it is God, who with your own weapons and hands will destroy you: your malice was grown to the top: pomp and excess were but too familiar among you: you were too much tied to gain and to the hurt of the poor: you slept too idly in your own delights: your pride and witches made you forget God, and he hath given you over into a reprobate sense.  
Consider I pray you the estate of your town, the most famous& wealthy in all Europe, into whose hands is it come& under what Eouernours? Had you fetched out of the deserts of Africa all the troops of cruel beasts to dispeople it and lay it wast. Could you sooner haue hasted the ruin thereof? And if we seek after the dogs of this game you shal find them to be no other but such as passed to and fro from door to door to smell after the smokes, beasts of butchery and slaughter, the filthy and most vile excrements of your town: among whom some haue seized vpon one fortress, others vpon another, and all to assure themselves against the power of the magistrate, and the more freely to rob the whole world. Are you not ashamed you ancient Burgesses& marchants that possess the good of righteous gain of whom consisteth the soundest and most entire part of the city, who cannot keep your families without good order and government, to suffer among you these dusty varlets and ravening wolves, and that you gather not together to purge your town of these had members, and to challenge public safety? for to say truth, your town is at this time thorough the presence of these men, become a new Egypt, where all sorts of villainy and open robbery and ransoms are committed. Are you not ready to spew when you see before your eyes these public harpies, as Commissary Louchard, la Rue, clear, Oleuter, Senault and their companions late streetewalkers, and poor varlets, march now up and down among you accompanied with a trame enriched with the spoil of your best houses? Howbeit if you be strangely amazed and so insensible that the destructions of your neighbors, of your Citizens, and of so many honest men can nothing move you, yet at the least open your eyes vpon yourselves, and behold your present ruin: judge what may be the continuance of your governments so violent, so bloody, so confused, and so full of extortion: how long that common wealth can stand upright where al order is perverted, the temple of iustice polluted, offences unpunished, innocency oppressed, violence reigning, the magistrates without commandment, the people disobedient, laws voided of authority, good men speechless, and where the vilest and most wicked do command? yet if all these considerations should cease, what do you think should become of you? ween ye yourselves of ability to bear the burden of so many wars as you haue cast yourselves in to to oppose yourselves against so mighty a king,& the greatest captain 〈◇〉 Europe: against al the nobility& Aristocratical body of France: against all the power of Germany, Sweden, Denmark, England,& Scotland? See you not that it is vpon you, that all their armies will light, and that your town shall be the stage whereupon all the acts of this great tragedy shal be played. What then? shal the other towns that are entred into this league with you, succour you? You are deceived: think that every of them in this public con●●agration shal find enough to do to keep and maintain themselves, without affording any succour to their neighbors. Consider( I pray you) in what perplexities you find yourselves entangled: you shall still haue both your enemies and friends armies at your gates: for whatsoever power the king is able to gather will stil be at you, your prise laeing the glory of his conquests and the reward of his warres, against the which you cannot be able to defend yourselves without a great power within your walls, that shal as much annoy you as your enemies themselves. In to what extremities will your hopes be converted? You will( say some) yield yourselves into the Spaniards arms. Oh what amorous imbrasings rather beleeue that they will much better cast themselves into your wives arms. They be africans, tanned, hot, parched subtle, and such no doubt as will well enough do their business among you: then will there be a goodly mixture of a Parisian and a Spaniard, of a Pigeon and a Puttocke, and a brave society of a fox with a goose, Oh poor people, if you knew the Spaniards nature, you would rather haue recourse to death then to such succour. Set he once a foot in your house, you shall haue an intolerable master, a necessary concubmarie, a violent adulterer, an vnpitifull tyrant, and in lieu of a guest a wolf among your family. learn their behaviours in India, Portugal, Flanders, italy, and in all places so far as their empire doth stretch. ask the Milanors and Neopolitans how sweet their government is: inquire of the Fleminges, whom for the infidelity of their manners, and their impudent conversation, they cannot keep without force of mischiefs and great garrisons. Consider the inequality of these two natures: The French is liberal, trusty, gracious, courageous, courteous, and a lover of simplicity. The Spaniard is proud, covetous cruel, envious, suspicious, insolent, a great boaster and bragger, and therefore incompitable. If once he meddle among you, farewell your wives chastity: farewell all public honesty: farewell your libert●e, and farewell all your ioy. The Inquisition shall strait come among you, and according to your wealth more or less so shall he hold evil opinions of your faith. Your faire wives and goodly houses shall daily make you guilty of heresy: you shall bee as porters and miserable pioners divided in the towns to the trenches,& other the vilest works: by millions shal you be transported to the Indies, there to scrape forth the mines, your gates and public portals shall be repaired with your heads, and all the passages to your towns furnished with gibbets and common gallows for yourselves. inquire I pray you how many millions of men they haue cruelly extinguished in the Indies, in Portugall, and in Flanders? In the common places there is nothing to be seen but mens quarters mangled, bodies cut in pieces, pits overflowing with blood and slaughter, and public tokens of human flesh Wanting the pretences of fear and cruelty, they will poison men that they may enjoy their wives and seize vpon their houses and goods. Se therefore in this desperate match what men you haue to deal withal. But the pope( say you) commands you: he hath given you to him, and your consciences do bind you, Oh poor senseless people, it is pity that he giveth you not to the devill, sith you are content that he should do by you as he doth by his Cabals of Iewes, or of the hiers of his courtesans. But if you be such tractable merchandise and of so good sale, the holy father may do better to transport you by whole shiplodes unto the sands of Norea, or egypt, there to sell you to the Turkes& Moores, so should he make more money, then at the king of Spaine● hand. What a mocking of the world is this? What would Phillip A●gust, Phillip the faire, or Lewes the twelfth, most excellent& most catholic kings, if they were now alive again say? they I say, who in their daies so well chastised the Popes insolences? What a mishap,( which seemeth fatal to al christendom) that these good lieutenants of God are stil the firebrands of their ambition, and the field that bringeth forth the weeds and mortal discord among christians: that from age to age they haue been found to be not a lantern to lighten the stern of this ship, but a whole circled of fire to kindle al● Europe,& still to stir up wars among Christians? Within these five hundred yeares they haue sufficiently given us to understand, that they haue received the keys of the succession of S. Peter, not to open therewith and distribute the graces and blessings of heaven, but to encrotch all the treasures both of heaven and earth& to rob al the witches of the world that they haue also received power to bind and loose: not to absolve or bind sins, but to chain up the kings& princes of the earth, and to exercise absolute tyranny over all earthly powers. If those excellent lights of Christendom, S. jerome, S. Augustin and their companions, the founders of this heavenly ship, were now living, what would they say to see in the place of S. Peter the professor of poverty, the Scholmuster of humility, the example of simplicity,& the exhorter to obedience a proud Croesus glistering in gold and riches, crwoned with many crowns, adorned with purple, silver, pearl, bravely betrapped& lifted up aloftlike a Bayazeth or Soliman vpon a proud throne, environed with guards of souldiers, with garrisons& a triumphant court, proudly commanding both heaven and earth, giuing and taking kingdoms and principalities at his pleasure, and treading the whole world under his feet? What would they think to see? would they not think that in ●ew of being here above, to walk through hel, and in steede of a successor to S. Peter, to see Pluto& the God of witches chained to this link of gold? But what, this speech is as much as to carry fire to a wasps neast,& withal to offer stings to the flies therein. I hear them already shout out, heretic, heretic. No, no, let the truth make thē to spite as much as they list,& to swell with rage as a bladder with wind: let them storm at their pleasures, malgre all their fury and violence it will be spoken. I take God to witness of my words, and the eternal to be a revenger if I periure myself, that I am and ever was a catholic, that I did never cleave nor consent to the doctrine of Luther or Caluin, and yet continuing with in this compass, I will not be thought voided of common sense, or accounted as one that hath lost all power, of relishing either good or bad things. For this do I say, that S. Peter never encroached any thing vpon Caesar, neither enterprised any jurisdiction over temporal matters, for God himself forbade it, as also that by the example of his life he shewed such dealings to be repugnant to his profession: therefore that it is a matter that the Pope cannot by Gods law do, but now if he hath done it, it is by violent usurpation. But treading all these reasons under foot, let us see what ye may hope for at the Spaniards. The king is old,& already hath one foot in the pit. His estates do totter and wait when the clock will strike, to shake of their yoke. His Empire is like acarued cubbord composed of sundry pieces set together. It consisteth of unjust conquests, and things ravished. It is grounded only vpon force, holden together by force, and by an other force will one day be scattered: which if it happen as it will, what will become of your succours? you shal find yourselves( according to the proverb) with one hose on, and another off, between two irons in a wafer pan, neither shal you then be able to shun the just punishment of your violated faith, and that by him that justly may do it. How then? Shal the orphan and infant of spain yet cover you? You haue dearly enough tried the value of a foreign womans govern ment, or a childs dominion, and beleeue that in these daies they shall find hindrances enough at home though they spread not their wings over other mens boultings. Agame, granting to all your hopes their course, and that this king live as long as shall be requisite for the getting of France, yea, grant him already the conquest without controlle, what do ye judge will he do with you? Ween you that he knoweth not that your despair more then your love hath delivered you to hun? Imagine you that after the example of your treachery he will not suspect your faith, Also that the offence of your felony will not still yield the natural savour in his nostrils? whereupon may he establish his new conquest, together with the continuance of your subiection, but upon force, the sword, fetters, the view of gibbet and great garrisons, vpon consideration with what people and men he shal haue to do? never doubt of this, neither think to receive other reward then your deserts are worthy of, But to proceed, accounting all these considerations as nothing, and grant that you be mighty enough to pervert all laws both of God and men, and to reverse the succession of princes, what will nevertheless become of this monarchy? Into how many brooks I pray you shal the water of this great river be divided, if you once break the natural channel thereof? The Spaniard will share out one province, the D. of main will hold another: the Marquize of Pont and the D. of savoy will each of them put in for one: many other lords will be catching. How many petty tyrannies will slip in? How many small common wealths will there be intruded, or how many towns will become cantons? And when this miserable face of our estate shall happen, magine what you shall be, and what shal become of you. You shall be at continual war with your neighbors: one daies journey shall drive you out of the bounds of your country, or as the bird confined into the cage, or the fish taken out of the great seas and thrust into a little brook you shal feel your liberty oppressed, and daily shal you wish that you had never been. But were al worldly reasons dead with you, yet so deal as the kings themselves may be your instruction; never judge of the heat of fire before you touch it, neither of the daylight before you open your eyes: mark what you haue yet gained since the beginning of these troubles, and into what state your affairs are brought. Your town is decayed, your treasures drained, your forces broken, your partakers consumed, and all your particular helps so altered that famine already oppresseth you, and the injustice of your cause crieth out amain. God fighteth against you, his favour flieth from you, his vengeance pursueth you, al your business do go backward, and the successses do condemn your pursuites. Whatsay you to the battle at Senlis, where ten beat an hundred, and an hundred a thousand? Howe think you of so many recounters great and small where you always had the worse? What is your opinion of the charge given at Arcques, where four hundred horse kept head against four thousand? What I say? kept head, nay, they fought, chased and followed them with stripes, eue● into the midst of their army, which consisted of forty thousand men, with the loss of your best Captaines? Who wrought this so glorious an exploit? was not the king always in person the first in the onset and the last in the retreat? And when the L. of Montpensiers pannier-bearers in the midst of Paris proclaimed his loss and overthrow, you see him as a suddame flash of lightning appear at your gates, bring you the armies himself, and with al to your costs felt him force your suburbs with such an astonishment to your protectors and such a public desolation, that there was nothing heard but howling and crying, so as there appeared never a one of your souldiers in the town to descend it and had not this prince more loved your safties then you yourselves did, and withall feared your sack and spoil, you had undoubtedly been his, and your succour had come too late.  
Very sorry I am that stil you remain doubtless, as also that the L. of Monpensiers follies, together with all these small womens drugs which can hardly deceive a child twice, should maintain you in your accustomend garshishnesse. Your lives and fortunes are no longer upheld, but with cullisses, restoratives, and other petty subtleties of the said Lady of Montpensier: she entertayneth you with small portraitures and little books, sometimes the proclaim an over throw: sometimes the death of Rats and mice: otherwhile the death of some captain: and hereof they give you a largess for your money,& whiles you lieutenant general quoiteth you close, whiles he putteth in your hands the babble and the bell, while he putteth on your bible and whiles he disputeth his business among you, your s●lues do appear most miserable. But tell me I pray you, who hath invested the D. of main with this ambitious and magnificent title of lieutenant general of the estate and crown of France? Is not this Emperor, king. monarch, as we term them all Synonymals, are they not all titles foueraign of dignity? haue thirty or forty Louchardes or Oliuers erected in France this new sooner aigne magistrate? As much would the baths of Paris in the time of Charles the sixth, haue done to the Duke of Burgundy, had they failed him, capable of so great folly. What a iest? That this sovereign dignity, which during the kings life, could not be conferred to any whomsoever, no not by the estates of France, should now be given to the O. of main, and that by a small number, even of the basest commoners of Paris, to the extreme contempt of all estates, especially of the nobility, whom as the worthrest member of the monarchy, this matter most earnestly? As also we see never a true Gentleman, so aclowledge him, or march under the banner: but if any haue so done, immediately vpon better advice he hath recanted, accounting him no other then some provost of Marchants and sheriff in Paris, and yet not so solemnly created as the maner is. He is the peoples Tribune, and his war, and yours is the peoples war against the royal and aristocratical estates together with all the nobility of France: for undoubtedly all the world evidently seeth, that all your very purposes do tend to free yourselves into a democraty, and to be governed by Tribunes and popular magistrates to usurp jurisdiction over all other towns in France: to roote out all the nobility, and to seize vpon all their goods. Be not these the ordinary discourses of your seditious preachers, viz. That al the nobility are heretics, that they are enemies to the popular estate: that they oppose themselves against your purposes: and that they must be rooted out. In their mouths, they haue nothing but blood, murder and massacres: They speak of nothing but killing, murdering, burning or hanging, and the society of these words is the delight of their tongues. But who can without horror report the extreme excesses, and violences of these wild wolves, and frantic firebrandes? one impudent and incestuous Pichenard with other five or six companions haue been the begged instruments of so many public wounds, who not contented with the raising up of a desperate friar, most cruelly to kill and murder our king, but after his death haue openly spewed out of their filthy stomachs, all the most villainous and stinking injuries that the most contumelious helhound could possibly invent. What more abominable impiety, then during his life time, to forbid to pray to God for him, and after his death most impudently to continue the same inhibitions? What christian instructions in the mouths of these cruel scythians. God in all places commendeth unto us mercy: he commandeth us to pray for our cruelest enemies, and forbiddeth us to seek reuenge: These be the words and strait paths of our salvation: but these bloody monsters do openly strike up the drums: they preach war and reuenge, and do forbid us to pray for our king alive or dead. If they should preach against God himself, would you beleeue them? Are you so deprived of common sense& all knowledge of God, that you cannot perceive them to be wicked spirites among you, and angels of darkness seducing you? spirites of war and discord, leading you into the way of perdition? But they haue promised you another heroieall example of a monk, and very shortly to procure the slaughter of our king, they haue I say set on foot ten or twelve desperate adventurers, so as he shall hardly escape them all: In your ears they say unto you Patience, you shall shortly see this matter hatched. Oh what Charlatans and bringers of rats on sleep? what hopes of murderers? But God and the love of his good subiectes and servants will preserve him and by his providence their wicked counsels shal be scattered: yet if such a detestable enterprise should succeed, think you to be any whit the better? Or that for one man that now opposeth himself against your offences, God will not raise up an hundred? Onely the sole interests will reunite the countries and men to the pursuit of one selfe benefit, of one selfe public establishment, and of one self cause, doubt ye not. And assure yourselves, that albeit your punishment be for a tune delayed, yet the grievousness of the pain will sufficiently recompense the flacknes of execution. This( my maisters) is the reason why all these desperate parties do show you so many downfalls, that which way soever you turn, your destruction is stil on every side within two steps of you. And yet if you would but return your heads to the way that you shun, you should as soon find together with your assured rest all the good and contentation that your heart can desire. You should haue to do with a prince your natural king, replenished with goodness and clemency, who openeth his arms unto you, and will receive you vpon so just and lawful conditions, that for matters past you shall not need to stand in fear of him. This is the surest party for the French: For as this head is the bonde that reassembleth all the members of the monarchy& conserveth their union, so undoubtedly if he fail this body, it is impossible but all the partes, as it were the pieces of a shipwreck must needs he beaten with the tempests and scattered into contrary places. I know this that the least wind hurteth the tender eyed,& that the smallest wandes do sharpen the smart of those whose minds are set vpon discord, making them to forget all love of peace: But wise men will never suffer bad passions to take any such hold of them, but that there may always be found some good hope or reason. even as the Cork which always ascends, and stil recovereth the top of the waters, so( in my opinion) having so long sought a bottom& finding none, it were your partes to cast anchor in a calmer sea, and to change both your pilot& course. It is a more easy matter then I can say for, and you cannot so soon wish it but it will be done. I know that such as desire to see you burn to the last spark do stil oppose the let of religion,& by those so ridiculous fears do endeavour to shut up the passage into the haven against you. But when you shal once force this enchanted bar, and dispose yourselves to see what is beyond it, you shal find the king in this consideration so reasonable and so well disposed to al lawful means thereof,& to receive instruction, that yourselves and all other good catholics shal haue cause to be content. He is a prince of his faith, a most true prince, and a very honest man: one that feareth God and never went from his word, or failed in his promise. If therefore ye reject these means of peace and this safe shelter, and continue in your obstinacy. I see your health desperate, and your destruction present, inevitable& most assured: and where clmencie can not reclaim you, force shall do it with so notable a correction, that you shall be an example to all posterity.  
FINIS.
