HCRABAR16UPU
 (BAR:M:1:) <Actus pri9: Scaea. pria>.
 <Enter Barnauelt, Modes|bargen, Leidenberch>,
 <Vandermitten>.
 <Bar>. The <Prince> of <Orange> now, all names are lost els
 that hee^s alone the Father of his Cuntrie[,
 said you not soe[
 <Leid>. I speake the peoples Language
 <Bar>. That to his Arme, z Sword, the <Prouinces> owe
 their flourishing peace[, That hee^s the Armyes soule
 by which it moves to Victorie[
 <Mod>. So ^tis said, Sr.
 <Leid>. nay: more: that without him, dispaire, and ruyn(n)
 had ceaizd on all, and buried quick our safeties.
 <Vand>. That not had he in Act, betterd #or Counsailes
  and in his execution set them #of,
 all we designd had ben but as a tale
 forgot as soone as told.
 <Leid>. and with such Zeale
 this is deliuerd, that the <Prince> beleeves it;
 For Greatnes in hir owne worth, confident
 doth neuer waigh, but with a covetous hand
 hir lightest meritts: and who add the scale
 seldom offend.
 <Vand>. ^Tis this that swells his pride
  beyond those lymitts, his late modestie
 ever obserud; This makes him Court the Soldier,
 as his owne creature, and to arrogate
 all properous proceedings, to him self,
 detracts from you, and all men: you scarce holding
 the second place.
 <Bar>. When I gave him the first
 I robd myself: for it was iustly mine;
 the labourinthes of pollicie, I haue trod
 to find the clew of saffetie for my Cuntrie
 requird a head more knowing: and a courage
 as bold as his, increasd with all the Armyes though I must say ^tis great.
 his stile of Excellencie, Was my guift;
 Money, the strength and fortune of the War,
 the help of England, and the aide of Fraunce
 I onely can call mine: and shall I then
 now in the sun|#set of my daie of honor
 when I should passe with glory to my rest,
 and raise my Monument from my Cuntries praises,
 sitt downe, and with a boorish patience suffer
 the Harvest that I labord for, to be
 anothers spoile[ the peoples thancks, and praires
 wch should make faire way for me to my grave
 to haue an other obiect[ the choice fruites
 of my deepe proiects, grace anothers Banquet[
 No, this ingratefull Cuntry, and this bold this base people
 vserper of what#^s mine most base to my deserts, shall first wth horror
 know he that could defeat the Spanish counsailes,
 and countermyne their darck works, he that made
 the State what ^tis, will change it once againe
 ere fall with such dishonor.
 (BAR:M:1v:) ##<Mod>. be advisd Sr,
 I love you as a frend: and as a Wiseman
 haue ever honord you: be as you were then
 and I am still the same: had I not heard
 theis last distemperd words, I would haue sworne
 that in the making vp of <Barnauelt>
 reason had onely wrought: passion had no hand in#^t:
 But now I find you are lesse then a man,
 lesse then a com(m)on man; and end that race
 you haue so long run strongly, like a child,
 for such a one old age, or honors surfeyts
 againe haue made you.
 <Bar>. this to me[ ] ##<Mod>. to you Sr.

 for is^t not boyish folly (youthfull heat
 I cannot call it) to spurne downe, what all
 his life hath labourd for[ Shall <Barnauelt>
 that now should studie how to die, propound
 new waies to get a name, or keep a being
 a moneth or two, to ruyn whatsoever
 the good succes of forty yeeres employment
 in the most serious affaires of State
 haue raisd vp to his memory[ and for what[
 Glory, the popular applause, fine purchase
 for a gray beard to deale in.
 <Vand>.   you offend him.
 <Mod>. ^tis better then to flatter him, as You doe,
 Be but yourself againe, and then consider
 what alteration in the State, can be
 by which you shall not loose: Should you bring in
 (as heaven avert the purpose, or the thought
 of such a mischeif) the old Tirrany
 that <Spaine> hath practisd, do you thinck you should be
 or greater then you are, or more secure
 from danger[ Would you change the goverment,
 make it a Monarchie[ suppose this don,
 and any man you fauord most, set vp
 shall yor authoritie by him encrease[
 be not so foolishlie seducd: for what
 can hope propose to you, in any Change
 wch ev^n now, you posses not[
 <Bar>. doe not measure ] my ends by yours.

 <Mod>. I know not what You ayme at:
 for thirtie yeeres (onely the name of King
 you haue not had, and yet yor absolute powre
 hath ben as ample) who hath ben employd
 in office, goverment, or Embassie,
 who raisd to wealth or honor that was not
 brought in by yor allowaunce[ who hath held
 his place without yor lycence[ your Estate is
 beyond a privat mans: your Brothers, Sonnes,
 Frends, Famylies made rich, in trust z honors;
 Nay; this Grave <Maurice>, this now Prince of <Orange>
 whose popularitie you weakely envy
 was still by you com(m)aunded: for when   did he
 enter the Feild, but ^twas by your allowaunce[
 what service vndertake, which you approu^d not[
 what victory was won, in which you shard not[
 what Action of his renownd, in which
 yor Counsaile was forgotten[ Yf all theis then
 suffice not yor Ambition, but you must
 extend it further, I am sorry that
 you give me cause to feare, that when You move next
 you move to yor distruction.
 <Bar>. yf I fall,
 it shall not be alone, for in my ruyns
 my Enemies shall find their Sepulchers:
 <Modes|bargen>, Though in yeeres place you are my equall,
 the fire of honor, which is dead in you,
 burnes hotly in me, and I will preserve
 each glory I haue got, with as much care
 as I acheivd it; read but ore the Stories
 of men most fam^d for courage, or for counsaile,
 and you shall find that the desire of glory
 was the last frailety wisemen ere putt #of:
 be they my presidents
 <Gro>. ^tis like yourself
 like <Barnauelt>, and in that, all is spoken
 <Leid>. I can doe something in the State of <Vtrecht>
 and you shall find the place of Secretarie
 which you conferd vpon me there, shall be
 when you employ me, vsefull
 <Vand>. all I am ] you know you may com(m)aund: ile nere enquire

 what ^tis you goe about, but trust yor Counsailes
 as the Auncients did their Oracles.
 <Mod>. though I speak
 not as a Flatterer, but a frend: propound
 what may not preiudice the State, and I
 will goe as far as any. ||| <Enter 2 Captaines.>
 <Bar>. to all my service,
 ere long you shall know more: What are theis[
 <Leid>. Captaines ] that raild vpon the Comissary.

 <Bar>. I remember.
 ##1.<Cap.> why, you dare charge a Foe i^ the head of his troope,
 and shake you to deliuer a petition
 to a Statesman and a Frend[
 ##2.<Cap.> I need not seek him,
 he has found me; and as I am a Soldier
 his walking towards me, is more terrible
 then any Enemies march I ever mett with
 ##1.<Cap.> we must stand to it.
 <Bar.> you, Sr, you ] ##2.<Cap.> my lord.

 <Bar>. as I vse this, I waigh you: you are he
 that when your Company was viewd, and checkd
 for your dead paies: stood on yor termes of honor;
 cryde out I am a Gentleman, a Com(m)aunder
 (BAR:M:2v:) and shall I be curbd by my lords the States[
 (for thus you said in scorne) that are but Merchants,
 Lawyers, Appothecaries; and Phisitians,
 perhaps of worsser ranck[, But you shall know Sr
 they are not such, but Potentates, and Princes
 from whom you take pay:
 1.<Cap>. this indeed is stately,
 Statesmen doe you call ^em[
 2.<Cap>. I beseech your Lordship:
 ^twas   wine, and anger:
 <Bar>. no Sir, want of dutie:
 but I will make that tongue give him the lye
 that said soe, drunck, or sober: take my word for#^t,
 yor Companie is cast: you had best complaine
 to yor great Generall, and see if he
 can of him self maintaine you: Come <Modesbargen>. ||| <Ext>
 <Leid>. I am sorry for you Captaine: but take comfort,
 I love a Soldier, and all I can doe
 to make you what you were, shall labor for you
 and so good morrow Gentlemen ||| <Exit>
 1.<Cap>. yet ther#^s hope.
 for you haue one frend left.
 2.<Cap>. you are deceiud Sir:
 and doe not know his nature, that gaue promise
 of his assistaunce.
 1.<Cap>. who is#^t[ ] ##2.<Cap>. <Leidenberch>

 one of the Lords, the States: and of great powre too,
 I would he were as honest: This is he
 that neuer did man good: and yet no Suitor
 ever departed discontented from him:
 hee#^ll promise any thing: I haue seene him talke
 at the Church dore with his hat #of, to a Begger
 almost an howre togeather; yet when he left him
 he gave him not a doyt: he do^s profes
 to all an outward pitty, but within
 the devill#s more tender: the great plague vpon him
 why thinck I of him: he#^s no part of that
 must make my peace.
 1.<Cap>. why what course will you take then
 2.<Cap>. a Bribe to <Barnauelts> wiffe, or a kind wench
 for my yong lord his Son, when he has drunck hard,
 ther#^s no way els to doo#^t.
 1.<Cap>. I haue gold good store,
 you shall not want that: and if I had thought #on#^t
 when I left London, I had fitted you
 for a convenient Pagan.
 2.<Cap>. why, is there ] such store they can be spard[

 1.<Cap>. ay they abound Sir,
 and if you fight in the shade to those that serve there
 I meane in the tearme time, for now ther#^s a Truce Sr,
 the Som(m)er#^s their vacation: the poore wretches
 are horribly out of action at a new Play
 when they haue pawnd their smocks, to show their best gownes
 (BAR:M:3:) in the best roomes to the Gallants and hoong forth
 all their allurements, and  said alowd
 come on for we are for you: with a peece
 I could haue prest you one to follow me
 that should haue serud yor turne and, three moneths kept him
 from pickle herrings, oyle and pilchers:
 But to yor busines: let vs leave this fooling
 and try what gold can doe
 2.<Cap>. I thank you Sir ||| <Exeunt>
 <Scaea. 2a. Enter Barnauelt: Modesbargen, Leidenberch>
 <Vandermitten: Grotius: Taurinus, Vtenbogart> ] <Hogerbeets>.
 <Bar>. The States are sitting: all that I can doe
 ile say in litle: and in me, theis Lords
 promise as much. I am of your belief
 in every point you hold touching religion,
 and openly I will profes myself
 of the <Arminian> sect.
 <Gro>. you honor it.
 <Tau>. and all #or praires, and service.
 <Bar>. Reverend men ] Yor loves I am ambitious of: Alreadie

 ^tis known I fauor you, and that hath drawne
 Libells against me: but the stinglesse hate
 of those that wryte them, I contempne.
 <Hog>. they are worthie ] of nothing but contempt

 <Bar>. that I confes too:
 but yet we must expect much opposition
 ere yor opinions be confirmd: I know
 the <Prince> of <Orange>, a sworne Enemie
 to yor affections; he h^as vowd to crosse you:
 but I will still stand for you: my advice is
 that having won the Burgers to Yor partie
 perswade them to enroll new Companies
 for their defence against the Insolence
 of the old Soldiers, garisond at <Vtrecht>;
 yet practise on them too: and they may vrge this,
 That since they haue their pay out of that Province,
 iustice requires they should be of their partie:
 all that is don in <Vtrecht>, shalbe practisd
 in <Roterdam>, and other Townes I name not;
 farther directions you shall haue hereafter,
 till when, I leave you.
 <Gro>. with all zeale and care
 we will performe this. ||| <Ext>.
 <Leid>. this foundation ] is well begun.

 <Vand>. and may the building prosper
 <Mod>. yet let me tell you, where Religion
 is made a cloke to #or bad purposes
 they seldom haue succes.
 <Bar>. you are too holly
 we live not now wth Saincts, but wicked men,
 and any thriving way, we can make vse of
 (BAR:M:3v:) what shape soere it weares, to crosse their arts
 we must embrace, and cherish: and this course
 (carrying a zealous face) will countenaunce
 our other actions; make the Burgers ours,
 raise Soldiers for #or guard: strengthen #or side
 against the now vnequall opposition
 of this prowd Prince of <Orange> that Contemns vs: at the worst
 when he shall know there are some Regiments
 we may call ors, and that haue no dependaunce
 vpon his fauor, ^twill take from his pride
 and make vs more respected. ||| <Enter Bredero> ] <Vandort> ] <Officers>
 <Mod>. may it prove soe.
 <Bre>. good day, my Lord,
 <Vand>. good Mounseiur Advocate
 you are an early stirrer.
 <Bar>. ^tis my dutie,
 to wayt yor Lordships pleasure: please You to walke[
 <Bre>. the Prince is wanting: and this meeting being
 touching the oath he is to take, ^twer fitt
 that we attend him.
 <Bar>. that he may set downe
 what he will sweare, prescribing lymitts to vs,
 we need not add this wind by our observaunce
 to sailes too full alredy: oh my lords
 what will you doe[ haue we with so much blood
 maintaind #or liberties[ left the allegeaunce
 (how iustly now it is no time to argue)
 to <Spaine>, to offer vp #or slavish necks
 to one, that only is, what we haue made him[,
 for, be but you yourselves, this Prince of <Orange>
 is but as <Barnauelt>, a Servant to
 yor Lordships, and the State: like me maintaind:
 the pomp he keepes, at yor charge: will you then
 wayt his prowd pleasure; and in that confes
 by daring to doe nothing, that he knowes not
 you haue no absolute powre[
 <Vandort>. I never sawe
 the Advocate so mov^d.
 <Bar>. now to be patient
 were to be treacherous: trust once his counsaile
 that neuer yet hath faild you, make him know
 that any limb of this #or reverend Senate
 in powre is not beneath him: As we sitt
 ile yeild you further reasons: i^the   meane time
 com(m)aund him by the Officers of the Court
 not to presse in, Vntill yor Lordships pleasure
 be made knowne to him.
 <Vand>. ^tis most requisite,
 <Leid>. and for the honor of the Court
 <Vandort> goe on:
 you haue my voice.
 <Bre>. and mine: yet wee#^ll proceed
 as iudgement shall direct vs.
 <Vandort> ^tis my purpose.
 (BAR:F:4:) ##<Bar>. In this disgrace, I haue one foote on his neck,
 ere long ile set the other on his head,
 and sinck him to the Center:
 <Leid>. looke to the dores there ||| <Exeunt>.

 <Or>: #I now, methincks, I feele the happynes
 of being sproong from such a noble Father
 that sacrifizd his honor, life, and fortune
 for his lov^d Cuntry: Now the blood z kindred
 of <Horne>, and <Egmont> (Memories great Martires)
 that must out live all <Alua^s> Tirranies
 and when their Stories told ev^n shake his ashes
 methincks through theis vaines now, now at this instant
 I feele their Cuntries losse: I feele too
 <Henry>. all feele sencibly
  and every noble hart laments their miseries
 and every eie, that labours not with mallice
 sees your great services, and through what dangers
 you haue raisd those noble speritts monuments.
 <Or>. What I haue don, I look not back, to magnifie:
 my Cuntry calld me to it: what I shall yet doe
 with all the industrie z strength I haue lent me
 and grace of heaven to guid, so it but satisfie
 the expectation of the State com(m)aunds me,
 and in my Cuntries eye appeere but lovely
 I shall sitt downe, though old and bruizd, yet happie:
 Nor can the bitter, and bold tounge of mallice,
 that neuer yet spoke well of faire deservings,
 wth all hir course aspersions floong vpon me
 make me for sake my dutie; touch, or shake me,
 or gaine so much vpon me, as an anger,
 Whilst here I hold me loyall: Yet beleeue Gentlemen
 theis wrongs are neither few, nor slight, nor followed
 by liberall tongues, provokd by want, or wine,
 for such were to be smild at, and so slighted,
 but by those men, and shot so neere mine honor,
 I feare, my person too: but so the State suffer not
 I am as easie to forget.
 <Will>. too easie,
 and that feeds vp their mallice to a Monster,
 you are the arme oth^ War:
 <Hen>. the Soldiers sperit:
 the other but dead stories; You the dooer:
 <Col>. it stands not with the honor you haue won Sr,

 <Or>. why do^st thou keep the dore fast then[
 <Henry> thou Fellow ] thou sawcy fellow; and You that stand by gaping:

 2.<Gu>. We beseech yor Excellencies
 to pardon vs: our duties are not Wanting,
 nor dare we entertaine a thought to crosse ye,
 We are placd here on Com(m)aund. ] ##<Or>. to keepe me out[

 haue I lost my place in Councell[   are my services

 or am I tainted with dishonest actions
 that I am held vnfitt my Cuntries busines[

 this is vnsufferable, most vnsufferable.
 <Or>. now I begin to feele those doubts, I feare still
 <Coll>. so far dare provoke ye, ^tis too monstrous;
 and you forget yor self, your birth, yor honor,
 the name of Soldier if you suffer this:
 suffer from those, those things, those, pox vpon^#t
 those molds of men made noble by yor services, ] yor daylie sweatts[

 1.<Cap>. it must not be endurd thus
 the wrong extends to vs, we feele it seuerally
 2.<Cap>. yor sweet humillitie, h^as made#^em   scorne ye,
 and vs, and all the world that serve their vses,
 and stick them selues vp teachers, masters, Princes,

 <Coll>. let#^s see then who dare stop Ye. ] ##<Guard>. not we, I am sure.

 <Coll>. let^#s see who dare denie ye

 <Or>. stay I com(m)aund ye,
 he that put^s forward first to this wild action
 has lost my love, and is becom mine Enemy,
 my mortall enemie; put vp yor weapons,
 you draw#^em   against order, duty, faith,
 (BAR:F:5:) and let me die, ere render such examples,
 the men you make so meane, so slight account of
 and in yor angers prise, not in yor honors,
 are Princes, powrefull Princesse, mightie Princes,

 and noble ranck, pay, and maintaine their fortunes,
 then any Monarch Europe ha^s, and for this bountie
 if ye consider truly, Gentlemen,
 and honestly, with thanckfull harts remember
 you are to pay them back againe yor service:
 they are your Masters, yor best masters, noblest,
 those that protect yor states, hold vp Yor fortunes,
 and for this good, you are to sacrifize
 yor thancks, and duties, not yor threats, and angers,
 I, and all Soldiers els, that strike with their armes
 and draw from them, the meanes of life, z honor
 are doble tyde in faith to obserue their pleasures,
 <Coll>. a Prince of rare humanitie, and temper:

 or how suspected stand, or wth what cryme blotted
 that this day, from yor felloweship, yor councell

 like a man perishd in his worth, I am exilde

 or.
 <Or>. wayt, my lords[
 <Bar>. nor what we shall designe for the States comfort
 stay yor deliberate crosses; we know you are able
 and every way a wise Prince fitt for counsell,
 but I must tell ye Sir, and tell ye truly,
 the Soldier has so blowne ye vp, so swelld ye,
 and those few services, you call yor owne,
 that now our com(m)endations are too light gales,
 too slack, and emptie windes, to move yor worthes,
 and tempests of yor owne tongue, and the Soldiers ] now onely fill your sailes

 <Bred>. be not so bitter.
 <Bar>. we mix with quiet speritts, staid, and temperate,
 and those that levell at, not great, but good ends,
 dare hold vs their Companions, not their Servants,
 and in that ranck, be ready to supply vs:
 Your Grace is growne too haughtie.
 <Leid>. might it please Ye, ] but thinck Sr. of our honest services

 (I dare not terme them equall) and but waigh well
 in wch I know yor Grace, a perfect Master,
 yor iudgement excellent, and then but tell vs,
 and truly, (which I know yor goodnes will doe)
 why should we seeme so poore, so vndertrodden,
 (BAR:F:5v:) and though not trusted with the State, and Councell,
 why so vnable vallued: pardon great Sir,
 if those complaine, that feele the waight of envy
 if such poore trod on wormes, make show to turne againe,
 nor is it we that feele, I hope nor you Sir
 that gives the cullor of this difference,
 rumor ha^s many tongues, but few speak truth.
 we feele not onely, if we did ^twer happie,
 #or Cuntry Sr, our Cuntrie beares the blow too,
 but you were ever noble.
 <Or>. good my lords, ] let it be free, yor Servant chargd in mallice,

 if not fling #of his crymes, at least excuse#^em
 to you my great correcter: Would to heaven, Sir,
 that syn of pride, and insolence you speake of,
 that pufft vp greatnes, blowne from others follyes,
 were not too neere a kin to yor great Lordship,
 and lay not in yor bosom, yor most deere#^one,
 You taint me Sr, with syns concerne my manners,

 the cure of those would make ye shrinck z shake too, ] shake #of your head.

 <Bar>. you are too weak ith^ hams Sir:
 <Or>. who raisd theis new religious forces, Sir[
 and by what warrant[ what assignement had ye

 even fires of fowle rebellion, I must tell Ye,

 to fright the vnion of the State, to shake it[
 what syns are theis[, you may smile with much comfort,
 and they that see ye, and not looke closely to ye,
 may crye too, er^#t be long.

 <Or>. My lords: to what a monster this man^#s growne,

 <Bred>. we doe not like his carriage
 <Vandort> he do^s all: speakes all: all disposes ] ##<Or>. spoiles all

 vncrossed, and vnprevented; that wretched man
 dare live to see his Cuntry shrinck before him:
 Consider my best Lords, my noblest Masters,
 how most, most fitt, how iust, and necessary
 a sodaine, and a strong prevention.
 <Bred>. we all conceave yor Grace: and all look through him,
 and find him what we feare not yet, but grieve at:
 You shall haue new Com(m)ission from vs all

 <Enter Barnauelt: Leidenberch, Modesbargen>.
 <Bar>. I haue with danger venturd thus far to you,
 that you might know by me, our plot^#s discoverd.
 But let not that discourage you: though <Van|Dort>
 and <Bredero>, with others haue assented
 to force this Towne; stand you still on Yor Guard,
 and on my reputation rest assurd
 wth violence they neuer dare attempt You:
 for that would give the world to vnderstand
 th^#vnited   <Prouinces>, that by their Concord
 so long haue held out ^gainst th^#opposition
 of all <Spaines> Governors, their plotts, and Armyes
 make way to their most certaine ruyn, by ] a Civill warre.

 <Leid>. this cannot be denide
 <Bar>. and so, at any time we may make our peace
 returning to #or first obedience ] vpon what termes we please.

 <Mod>. that is not certaine:
 For should we tempt them once to bring their Forces
 against the Towne, and find we give it vp
 for want of strength to keepe it, the Conditions
 to wch we must subscribe, are in their #will,
 and not our choice, or pleasure.
 <Bar>. you are governd, ] more by yor feare, then reason:

 <Mod>. may it prove soe: ] that way I would be guiltie

 <Bar>. how appeere ] the new raisd Companies[

 <Leid> they stand full and faithfull:
 and for the <Burgers>, they are well affected
 to #or designes: #the^ <Arminians> play their parts too,
 and thunder in their meetings, hell and dampnation ] to such as hold against vs.

 <Bar>. ^tis well orderd;
 But haue you tride by any meanes (it skills not
 how much you promise) to wyn the old <Soldiers>

 <Mod>. they are come. ] ##<Bar>. be earnest with them.

 <R.Giles>. with much #a dooe I haue brought#^em:   the prowd Shellains
 are paid too well, and that makes them forget
 we are their Masters.
 ##1.<Burg>. but when we tooke them on
 famishd allmost for want of enterteinement,
 then they cryde out, they would do any thing ] we would com(m)aund them.

 ##1.<Cap>. and so we say still: ] provided it be honest.

 <Giles>. is it fitt ] that mercinary Soldiers, that for pay

 give vp their liberties, and are sworne t^#expose
 their lyves, and fortunes to all dangers, should ] capitulate with their Lords.

 ##1.<Burg>. prescribing when ] they are pleasd to be com(m)aunded, and for what[

 <Giles>. answeare to this
 <Leiut>. You know #or resolutions, ] and therefore <Captaine> speak for all.

 ##1.<Cap>. I will ] and doe it boldly: We were entertaind

 to serve the generall <States> and not one <Prouince>:
 to fight as often as the <Prince> of <Orange>
 shall lead vs forth, and not to stand against him:
 to guard this Cuntrie, not to ruyn it,
 to beat #of forreigne Enemies, not to cherish
 domestique Factions: And where you vpbraid vs
 wth the poor meanes we haue to feed, not cloath vs,
 fo(r)getting at how deere a rate we buy
 the triffles we haue from you, thus I answeare,
 noe Cuntrie ere made a defencive war
 and gaind by it, but you. what privat Gentleman
 that onely trailes a pike, that comes from England
 or <Fraunce>, but brings gold with him[ wch he leaves here,
 and so enriches you; where such as serve
 the <Polander>, <Bohemian>, <Dane>, or <Turck>,
 though they come almost naked to their Collours
 besides their pay (wch they contempne) the spoiles
 of Armyes overthrowne, of Citties sackd,
 depopulations of wealthie Cuntries
 if he survive the vncertaine chaunce of war,
 returne him home, to end his age in plenty ] of wealth, and honors.

 <Bar>. this is shrewdly vrgd.
 ##1.<Cap>. Where we, poore wretches, covetous of fame onely
 come hether, but as to a Schoole of war;
 to learne to struggle against cold, and hunger,
 (BAR:M:7:) and with vnwearied steps, to overcome
 a tedious March, when the hot Lyons breath
 burnes vp the Feilds: the glory that we ayme at
 being #or obedience to such as doe
 Com(m)aund in cheif: to keepe #or rancke(s), to fly
 more then the death, all mutenies, and rebellions;
 and would you then, whose wisdomes should correct
 such follies in vs, rob vs of that litle
 that litle honor, that rewards #or service;
 to bring our necks to the Hangmans Sword, or halter[
 or (should we scape) to brand #or foreheads with ] the name of Rebells[

 <Giles>. I am put to a non plus: ] speake mine #<Here> <Secretarie>

 <Leid>. I haue heard ] so much deliuerd by you, and so well,

 yor actions too, at all parts answearing
 what you haue spoken, that I must acknowledge,
 we all stand far indebted to yor service:
 and therefore, as vnto the worthiest
 the faithfullest, and strongest, that protect
 vs, and #or Cuntries, we now seek to You,
 and would not but such men should be remembred
 as principall Assistaunts in the Cure
 of a disease wch now the State lyes sick of:
 I know you love the <Prince> of <Orange>, valiant <Prince> and Yet
 you must graunt him a Servant to the States,
 as you are Gentlemen, and therefore will not
 defend that in him which you would not cherish
 in cold blood in yor selues, for should he be ] disloyall.

 <Leiut>. he disloyall[ ^tis a language ] I will not heare.

 ##2.<Cap>. such a suspition of him ] in one that wore a sword, deserv^d the lye.

 ##1.<Cap>. We know yor oild tongue; and yor rethorique,
 will hardly work on vs, that are acquainted
 wth what faire language yor #ill purposes
 are ever cloathd: nor ever wilbe won
 to vndervalue him, whose least fam^d service
 scornes to be put in ballance wth the best

 and, though my Enemie, while he continues
 a frend to his owne fame, and loyall to

 <Vandort>. this disposition in yor Excellence

 then yet we haue discoverd,
 <Or>. my grave Lords, ] that it hath byn my happines to take in,

 and with so litle blood, so many Townes
 that were falne #of, is a large recompence
 for all my travell; and I would advise

 no sword vnsheathd, the meanes to hurt, cut off,

 against the publique peace) we should end here

 afflict vs, when ^tis found: Something I know
 that I could wish: I nere had vnderstood,
 wch yet if I should speake, as the respect
 and duty that I owe my Cuntry, binds me,
 it wilbe thought ^tis rather privat spleene
 then pious zeale: but that is not the hazard
 wch I would shun. I rather feare the men
 we must offend in this, being great, rich, wise,
 sided wth strong Frends, trusted with the guard
 of places most important, will bring forth
 rather new birthes of tumult, should they be
 calld to their Triall, then appease disorder
 in their iust punishment, and in doing Iustice
 on three or fowre, that are delinquents, loose
 so many thousand inocents, that stand firme
 and faithfull patriots. Let vs leave them therefore
 to the scourge of their owne consciences, perhaps

 the bag of his deserts too, cast behind you)
 impose vpon this Senat[ my poore life
 (wch others envy makes you Instruments
 to fight against) will hardly be a Conquest ] worthie such great performers.

 <Vand>. Mounseiur <Barnauelt> ] ^tis no mans envy, that hath brought vs hether

 to sitt as Iudges on you, but yor owne
 your owne late Actions, they haue raisd a War

 yor Lordships charge me with: yet would gladly heare ] what my faultes are.

 <Vand>. read the Confessions ] of <Leidenberch>, and <Taurinus>.

 <Olden Barnauelt>, late Advocate of <Holland>, and <West|#Frizeland>

 Potentates, as <Spaine>, or <Brabant>, delivering vnto them
 <Vtricht>, <Nimweghen, Bergen op Zone>, and the <Brill>.

 for so yor Lordships take it. ] ##<Bred>. with good reason.

 <Vand>. too many, and strong prooffes invyting vs ] to creadit it

 <Bar>. yf you will haue them such
 all truth I can bring to dyvert Your Lordships
 from your determinate opinion that way
 will not remove them: Yet ^tis strange that man
 should labor to devide those generall States
 that had no weak hand, in vnyting them,
 That <Barnauelt> (a name you haue remembred
 when you haue thought by whom you were made happie)
 That <Barnauelt> (alowd I dare repeat it)
 who, when there was Combustion in the State,
 yor Excellence, <Graue William>, and <Count Henrie>,
 taking Instructions for your Com(m)aunds
 from one that then ruld all: the <Prouinces>
 refucing to bring in their Contributions
 and arguing whether the <West Frizelander>
 and <Hollander> had powre to raise such Tribut,
 When many of the Governors stood #ill
 affected to you; all #or Garrisons
 not sworne then to the Generall States, but others,
 wch the promiscuous multitude gladly followed:
 when <Graues z Vendloe>, were held by the <Spaniard>
 and <Nimweghen> wth violence assaulted,
 Confusion wth one greedy gripe being ready
 to seaze on all; then, when the <Sluice> was lost,
 and all in muteny at <Midleborough>:
 who then rose vp, or durst step in before me,
 to doe theis <Cuntries> service[  who then labourd
 more then the now suspected <Barnauelt>
 t#^appease seditions, and compound all Quarrells[
 who pacified the Malcontents[ who taught you
 to stand vpon yor Guards, and trust yourselves[
 O you forgettfull, all this I performd,
 and in the golden fagot of faire Concord
 bound safely vp those strengthes, which Mutenies,
 Corruption, and home|#bred Traitors scatterd.
 <Vand>. this is a point you often choose to treat of:
 and yet some part of theis good services ] none will deny you.

 <Or>. but to ingrosse all, ] would argue me yor ward, should I give way #too#^t

 and theis grave Lords, your Schollers.
 <Bar> in the #Art ] of Goverment, they scornd not once to be soe,

 (BAR:M:22v:) nor You, to give me hearing: And if ever
 ^twer lawfull th#^vnthanckfull men t^#vpb(ra)id
 vnequalld benefitts, let it not in me
 be now held glorious, if I speake myself.
 I haue five times in regall Embassies
 byn sent the principall Agent for theis Cuntries,
 and, for yor good, haue spoken, face to face
 with mightie Kings: twyce wth that virgin Queene
 our Patronesse of happie memory
 <Elizabeth> of England; twyce in <Fraunce>
 wth that invincible King that worthely
 (though dead) is still^d the Great; <Henry> the <fourth>:
 once with the king of <Britaine>, that now is,
 yet, let my greatest Enemy, name the least
 of theis so high Imployments, in which I
 treated without advantage, and returnd not
 wth proffitt, as with honor, to my Cuntry,
 and let me fall beneath the worst aspersion
 his mallice can throw on me: Besides Soldiers
 so often leavied, by my meanes for you,
 wch to perticularize were teadious
 two Millions, and five hundred thousand pounde(s)
 for wch the <Prouinces> stood bound, I wrought
 freely to be dischargd; the Townes they pawnd
 to be deliuerd vp: And after all
 theis meritorious, and prosperous travells
 t^#vnyte theis States, can <Barnauelt> be suspected
 to be the author, to vndooe that knot
 which with such toyle he fastend[
 <Vand>. you take leave ] to speak of that, which you so oft haue told

 that ^tis the talk of Children. ] ##<Bar>. it may be,

 for by such men as you are ^tis forgot:
 But with my dying breath, ile wryte this new
 vpon theis walls: and you shall nere sitt here
 (if you goe on in yor Iniustice towards me,)
 but all my glorious Actions shall appeere
 so many ghosts to fright you: do you smile[
 you haue me here, and you may vse yor pleasures,
 Ile loose no more breath to you: To yor Highnes,
 to you, I turne my Speech now; Though I haue not
 sometimes preferd what you Com(m)aunded, when
 it lookd not towards the generall good, ^tis monstrous
 if in yor honor, you should not acquitt me
 of any purpose I had to degrade you:
 Nor can you but remember ^twas my Counsaile
 when in one yeere, you did besiege <Breda>,
 tooke in the Fortresse of <Terheide> and <Steinberch>
 wan <Nimweghen, Deuenter, Zutphen, Hulst, Delfs|#Isle>
 and forcd the Prince of <Parma>, to retire
 back wth disgrace to <Antwerpe>, all his works
 razd downe, or standing for our vse, made ours.
 how oft then in yor Camp, I visited you,
 wth what care, Cost, direction, and successe,
 (BAR:M:23:) I saw all things prepard: and made faire way ] to perfect yor design

 <Or>. pawse I beseech you,
 and while you gather breath to fill the Trumpet
 of your deserts, give me leave to deliuer
 a litle for the States, and mine owne honor,
 We haue heard a glorious Catologue of your vertues,
 but not one vice, or slip of yours, remembred:
 but I will help yor memory: who was he
 that gave intelligence of my sodaine com(m)ing
 to surprize <Antwerpe>[ they that brought the <Letters>

 when every step he made, met a Petition,
 and those that are his Iudges now, like Clyents
 haue wayted on him, the whole Court attending
 when he was pleasd to speake, and with such murmors
 as glad Spectators in a Theater
 grace their best Actors with, they ever heard him,
 when to haue had a sight of him, was held
 (BAR:M:24v:) a prosperous omen; when no eye gazd on him
 that was not filld with admiration, not
 as now wth scorne, or pitty: his rude Guard

 or hope for his release (as if he were
 some prodegie, or Monster) each night show him
 to such as greive his fortune, which must be
 to him worsse then ten thousand deathes, made horrid

 yf having the Conspirators in our powre
 we sentence none of them, being convincd too
 of fowre and thirtie Articles, and each treason

 yor officers, placd in authoritie

 be hardly brought to thinck he should conspire
 against those States, for wch yourselues best know

 once more he do^s advice you, to vse mercy:
 Which if you doe, he then shall thinck you merit
 the many fauors, you haue tasted from him,
 yf not, having given you whollsom Counsaile
 yf you refuce it, he must thinck himself
 slighted in his requests: and then perhaps
 hereafter you may misse that promptnes in him
 wch you haue found, when yor wants, most requird it.

 will give him certaine, and vnanswerable proofes
 to iustefie our Actions, which we will
 make knowne to all the world, till when, we wish
 he will be pleasd, to give way to the States
 to finish what they haue begon, with Iustice
 temperd with mercy: and that yor good Lordships
 will give his Grace to vnderstand thus much,
 if with the generall voice you doe approve it.
 (BAR:M:26:) ##<Bred>. we will confirme it, with our generall Seale,

 and wth what Sword ye strike, the edge of mallice:
 bethinck ye of the travells I had for ye,
 the throaes, and grones: to bring faire peace amongst ye:
 bethinck ye of the dangers I haue plundgd through,
 and almost gripes of death to make you glorious.
 Thinck, when this Cuntry, like a Wildernes ] brought nothing forth but desolatio
 n,
 fire, Sword, and Famine: when the earth sweatt vnder Ye,
 cold dewes of blood, and Spanish flames hoong ore ye,
 and every man stood markt the child of murder,
 and women wanted wombes to feed theis cruelties,
 thinck then who stept in to you: gently tooke ye
 and bound your bleeding wounds vp: from yor faces
 wipd #of the sweatts of sorrow; fedd, and nurssd ye,
 who brought the plowgh againe, to crowne yor plenty;
 yor goodly meadowes who protected (Cuntrymen)
 from the armd Soldiers furious marches[ who
 vnbard the Havens, that the floating Merchant
 might clap his lynnen wings vp to the windes
 and back the raging waves to bring you profitt[
 thinck through whose care, you are a Nation
 and haue a name yet left, a fruitfull Nation,
 (would I could say as thanckfull,) bethinck ye of theis things
 and then turn back, and blush, blush my ruyne.
 (BAR:F:27*:) ##<1.Lord>. ^Tis strange how this man brags; ^tis a strange impuden
 cenot to be pittied in h(i)s Case not sufferd;
 you breed the peace[, you bring the plowgh againe[
 you wipe the fire, and blood #of from this Cuntry[
 and you restore hir to hir former Beuty[
 blush in thine age, (bad man) thy grave blush for thee,
 and scorne to hide that man that holds no Creadit:
 Beare witnes all the world, y knowes #or Trobles,
 or ever greiu^d #or plagues, what we haue sufferd,
 and, vnder Heaven, by what armes we haue cur^d theis:
 Councells, and Frends; in wch I tell thee (<Barnauelt>)
 and through thy Impudence, I here proclaime it,
 thou hadst the least, and last share: ^Tis not yor face Sr,
 the greatnes of yor frends, corruptly purchasd,
 the Crying vp of yor manie Services,
 wch lookd into wither away like Mushrumps ] shall scandall vs.

 ##2.<Lord> Yor Romaine end, to make men
 imagine yor stung conscience fortefide,
 no, nor yor ground Religion: Examine all men
 branded wth such fowle syns as you now dye for,
 and you shall find their first stepp still, Religion:
 <Gowrie> in <Scotland>, ^twas his maine pretention:
 was not he honest too[ his Cuntries Father[
 those fyery Speritts next, that hatchd in England
 that bloody Powder|#Plot; and thought like meteors
 to haue flashd their Cuntryes peace out in a Moment
 were not their Barrells loden wth Religion[
 were not they pious, iust, and zealous Subiects[
 humble yor soule for shame, and seeke not now Sr
 to tumble from that happines even Angells
 were throwne from, for their pride: Confes, and dye well
 (BAR:F:28:) ##<Lord>. will ye confes yor faultes[
 <Bar>. I come not heather,
 (BAR:F:28v:) to make myself guilty: yet one falt I must vtter
 and ^tis a great one. ] ##<Lord> the greater mercy.

 <Bar>. I dye for saving this Vnthanckfull Cuntry.
 <Lord> play not with heaven:
 <Bar>. my Game#^s as sure as yors is:
 and wth more care, and inocence, I play it:
 take #of my doblet: and I prethee, fellow ] strike without feare:

 <Exec>. I warrant, ile fitt ye:
 I pray forgive me Sir ] ##<Bar>. most hartely:

 and heer#^s my hand: I love thee too; thy phisick
 will quickly purge me from the worldes abuses:
 when I speak lowdest, strike ] ##<Exec>. I shall observe ye.

 <Bar>. farwell my lords: To all your Counsailes, fortune,
 happie succes, and proffit: peace to this Cuntry:
 and to you all that I haue bredd like children
 not a more faithfull father, but more fortunate.
 doe not I stay too long[ ] ##<Lord>. take yor owne time Sir.

 <Bar>. I haue a wiffe, my lords, and wretched Children
 vnles it please his Grace to looke vpon#^em,
 and yor good honors, wth yor eies of fauor.
 ^twill be a litle happines in my death
 that they partake not wth their Fathers ruyns,
 <Lord> let not that troble ye, they shall not find it.
 <Bar>. Com(m)end my last breath to his Excellence,
 tell him the Sun he shot at, is now setting,
 setting this night, that he may rise to morrow,
 for ever setting: now let him raigne alone,
 and wth his rayes, give life, and light to all men,
 May he protect with honor, fight with fortune,
 and dye wth generall love, an old, and good Prince;
 my last petition, good Cuntrymen forget me,
 yor memories wound deeper then yor mallice,
 and I forgive ye all: a little stay me, |||
 Honor, and world, I fling ye thus behind me,
 and thus a naked poore|#man, kneele to heaven:
 be gratious to me, heare me, strengthen me,
 I come, I come: o gratious heaven: now: now:
 now I present ||| ] ##<Exec>. is it well don mine Heeres[

 <Lord>. somewhat too much: you haue strooke his fingers too
 but we forgive yor haste: draw in the body
 and Captaines, we discharge yor Companies.
 <Vandort> Make cleere the Court: vaineglory thou art gon:
 and thus must all, build on Ambition
 ##2.<Lord> Farwell, great hart: full low thy strength now lyes,
 he that would purge ambition this way dies. ||| <Exeunt>
