Al Princes are as much bound to observe his lawes and directions , as theire meanest subiects are to regard theirs , for he is the King of kings , and all his Rules and directions are perpetuall lawes ; so immutable and irrevocable that all designes and determinations that are contrary unto them , how faire a shew soever they make of wisdom and a probable good , they are but meere wickednes , and can not establish the Prince that puts them in practise , but rather tend to his undoing : for that is one infallible principle left us by Wisdom , A man can not be established by wickednes , and therefore the Lord saith , Woe to the rebellious children , that take counsell , but not of me , and cover with a covering but not of my spirit : which walke to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh , and trust in the shadow of Egypt as Asa also sought a league with Syria , and relyed on it , and not on the Lord , , and was therefore punished , wherefore Wisdom saith , It is an abhomination to Kings to commit wickednes : for the throne is established by justice : by carrying themselves justly towards God and their people , therefore state policies that stand not with pietie must needes overthrow it .

Which sin the Pagan Indians themselves did exprobrate in the Spaniards with all Detestation , Ignominy and Disgrace : for when they had taken some of them Prisoners ( which was rarely ) they bound them hand and foot , laid them on the ground , and then pouring melted Gold down their Throats , cried out and called to them aloud in derision , yield , throw up thy Gold O Christian ! And this also is as really true as the praecedent Narration ( which the very Tyrants and cruel Murderers cannot deny without the stigma of a lye ) that the Spaniards never received any injury from the Indians , but that they rather reverenced them as Persons descended from Heaven , until that they were compelled to take up Arms , provoked thereunto by repeated Injuries , violent Torments , and injust Butcheries .

     summary: The truth is my Lord ( quoth the Embassador ) that privately what they can , and publickly what they dare , both in England and Scotland all for the most part ( except such as are of our Faith ) oppose this match to the utmost by Prayers , Counsels , Speeches and wishes , but if one be found longer tongued then his Fellows , we have still means to charm their sausiness , to silence them , and expell them the Court , to disgrace them , and cross their Preferment with the Imputation of pragmatick Puritanism , for instance I will relate this one particular , a Doctor of theirs , and a Chaplain in Ordinary to the King , gave many reasons in a Letter against this Marriage , and propounded a way , how to supply the Kings wants otherways , which I understanding , so wrought under●●●nd , That the Doctor was committed , and hardly escaped the danger of his presumptuous Admonition , though the State knew his Intent honest , and his Reasons good , wherein we on the other side ( both here and with the Arch-Duke ) have Books penned , and Pictures printed directly against their King and State , for the which their Embassadors have sought satisfaction of us in vain , not being able to stay the Print , or so much as to touch the Hem of the Authors Garment : Thirdly it was great advantage to match with such , from whom they might break at pleasure , having the Catholick Cause for a Colour , and besides if need were , to be at liberty in all respects , since there was no Faith to be kept with Hereticks ; and if his Holiness may dispence with the Murder of such , and dispose of their Crowns , as what good Catholick doubts but he may ; much more he may , and will he in their Marriages , to prevent the Leprosy-Seed of Heresy , and to setle Catholick-Blood in the Chair of State : to the second Objection the Embassador himself answered , saying , that though the English generally loathed the Match , and would as he thought buy it off with half their Estates , hating the Nation of Spain , and their Religion ( as appears by an uproar and assault a day or two before his Departure from London by the Apprentices , being greedy to vent their own Spleen , in doing him or any of his a mischeif )

     summary: This point of State , or rather of Faith , we see the Catholick Roman Religion hath taught every where , and almost made natural ; so that by a Key of Gold , by intelligence , or by way of confession , my Master is able to unlock the secrets of every Prince , and to withdraw their subjects allegiance , as if they knew themselves rather my Master his subjects in truth , then theirs , whom their birth hath taught to miscal Soveraign ; we see this in France , & in England especially , where at once they learn both to obey the Church of Rome , as their Mother , to acknowledg the catholick King as their Father , & to hate their own King as an Heretick and an Usurper ; so we see Religion , and the State are coupled together ; laugh and weep , flourish , and fade , and participate of eithers fortune growing upon one stock of Pollicy : I speak this the more boldly here in this presence , because I speak here before none but Natives , persons who are partakers both in themselves & issues , of these Triumphs of antient Rome , and therefore such as besides their oaths it concerns to be secret ; Neither need we restrain this freedome of speech from the Nuncio his presence , because besides that , he is a Spaniard by birth , he is a Jessuit by profession and order , devised by the providence of Gods Vicar , to accomplish this Monarchy the better , all of them being approriate thereunto ▪ and as publick Agents , and privy Counsellors to this end , whereas the wisdome of this state is to be beheld with admiration , that in temporal Wars , it imployes , or at least trusts none but Natives ; so in Castile , Portugal , or Aragon : so in Spirituals , it imployes none but the Jesuites , and so imployes them that they be generally reputed ▪ how remote soever they be from us , how much soever obliged to others , yet still to be ours , and to be of the Spanish Faction , though they be Polonians , English , French , and residing in these Countries and Courts ; the penitents therefore , and all with whom they deal and converse in their spiritual traffick , must needs be so too , & so our Catholick King must needs have an invisible Kingdome and an unknown number of subjects in all Dominions , who will shew themselves and their Faiths , by their works of disobedience , whensoever we shall have occasion to use that Jesuitical vertue of theirs ; this therefore being the principal end of all our Councils , according to those holy directions of our late pious King Phillip , the second , to his son now surviving , to advance the Catholick Roman Religion , and the Catholick Spanish Dominion together , we are now met by his Majesties Command , to take an account of you ( Signior Gondomor ) who have been Embassadour for England , to see what good you have effected there , towards the advancement of this work , and what further project shall be thought fit to be set on foot to this end , and this is briefly the occasion of our meeting . Bo●emia , now all labouring for life under our plots , apparently manifest this way ; therefore I bend my Engines in England , as your honours shall particularly hear ; Neither should I need to repeat a Catalogue of all the service I have there done , because this State hath been acquainted with many of them heretofore by the intercourse so wrought , that the State should be rather rob'd and weakned ( which is our aim ) then strengthened , as the English vainly hope ; Besides in a small time , they should work so far into the body of the State , by buying Offices , and the like , whether by Sea or Land , of Justice Civil or Ecclesiastical , in Church or State , all being for Mony exposed to sale , that with the help of the Jesuites , they would undermine them with meer wit , without gunpowder , and leave the King but a few Subjects , whose Faiths he might relie upon , whilst they were of a Faith adverse to his , for what Catholick body that is sound at the heart , can abide a Corrupt and Heretical head .
