| Sir Ralph Winwood to Viscount Rochester | |
| [1612], April 7. | I now make answer to his Majesty's letter by this enclosed, which I beseech you to deliver with the best conveniency, and to be pleased to shadow the imperfections of my writing, which are many, with your favour. The letter is long and tedious, but the negotiation could not be comprised in fewer words. |
| The Count Maurice accepts with grateful respect the honour his Majesty intends to confer upon him; but being in that quality he is with the States he says, after notice given to him of the choice, he first must receive their approbation. | |
| Perhaps it may seem incongruous in this difference between them and his Majesty in the cause of Vorstius that his Majesty should make show that in the bestowing this honour upon their General he has any reference to the esteem he holds of their alliance. But it is not for the good of these countries in whose conservation his Majesty's crowns are deeply interested, that his Majesty should give way to the designs of them who of purpose by their perverseness study to make a divorce between his Majesty's realms and these Provinces, the more easily to precipitate them into the arms of Spain. This negotiation with the Count Maurice being now on foot is to be followed, but with much secrecy, in regard of the place he holds with the States. Therefore until I shall receive other order, I will take the boldness to address my letters to your Lordship; but whether I shall write to his Majesty or to your Lordship I humbly crave your directions. | |
|
I have order from his Majesty by his letters of March 17 to make known
to the States of Holland that the resolution which they pretend to have
taken about Vorstius gives him no satisfaction. But they are separated
to their several towns, neither will they reassemble before the end of this
month. Yet since my return from Wessel I have declared to Mons.
Barnevelt what his Majesty requires, and that no contentment can be
given him but by the banishment of Vorstius out of these countries. He
answered that if the town of Leyden should understand so much he
feared that the magistrates would retain him still in their town. I
replied that if the town of Leyden should retain Vorstius to brave or
despite his Majesty, his Majesty had the means, if it pleased him, to
use them, and that without drawing sword to range them to reason, and
to make the magistrates on their knees demand his pardon. And the
like I said of Rotterdam. At this speech his choler was kindled. He said
he was born in liberty and therefore could not 'disgest' such kind of
language. The King of Spain he said did never speak in so high a style.
I replied that I did well understand that logic; he held his argument to
be drawn a majori ad minus, but I prayed him to believe that the King
of Great Brittany was peer and companion to the King of Spain, and
that his 'Mot' is Nemo me lacessit impune. And upon these terms we
parted for that time. I find this man extremely distempered, and
whatsoever the matter is as extremely distasted with his Majesty; so
that I told him at my last being with him that whatsoever I propounded
in his Majesty's name could find with him neither 'goust' nor grace.
Some say that at his being in England when his Majesty first came to
the crown, he conceived some offence which ever since has rankled in his
heart, and now bursts forth with more violent malice. I held it necessary
for his Majesty's service not to conceal these particularities, which has
made me the bolder to give you this trouble, for which I pray to be
excused. From the Hague, the 7th of April. Holograph Seal over blue silk Endorsed: '7 April, 1612'. 3½ pp. (129 94) |

| Sir Ralph Winwood to James I | |
| 1612, April 7. | Returning from Wessel, where by order from your Majesty I have concluded the treaty with the commissioners sent from the Electors and Princes of the Union, whereof I make a particular account to the Lord Treasurer, I did happily meet with the Count Maurice at Arneham in Guelderland the last of March. Whom after I had saluted 'affectuously' from your Majesty and in your name rendered him many and hearty thanks for his careful endeavours for the maintenance of the truth of religion, lively expressed in prosecuting the cause against Vorstius and his adherents, I said I had express charge from your Majesty to deliver him this message: That your Majesty conferring the present condition of the affairs of these quarters of the world with those advertisements you daily receive from your ministers abroad, together with the nature and disposition of those men who have in their hands the managing of all business in these foreign parts, can make no other judgment than this, that there is a general league complotted for the subversion of religion upon the subsistence whereof your Majesty judges the main welfare, as of your realms, so of these Provinces, solely to consist. Therefore your Majesty had given me charge out of the knowledge you had of his great worth and the confidence you repose in his faith and affection, freely to treat with him of these points, and to pray him in your Majesty's name to deliver his opinion what way he did hold the most compendious and the most assured to 'counterquarr' these complots and to frustrate the malice of these mischievous designs. After the Count had acknowledged with very humble respect the honour your Majesty vouchsafes to do him in holding of him so gracious an opinion, wherein he said you should never be deceived and in exchange whereof he did present to your Majesty his humble and loyal service, he answered that he did concur in judgment with your Majesty that the main scope at which these plots and practices aimed, which he instanced in the alliances between France and Spain, is this, to root out religion and by consequence to bring under the yoke all those countries in which religion is professed. The first attempt he said doubtless was intended against these Provinces. The means to countermine these projected designs he took to be these: the continuance of your Majesty's constant resolution for the protection of religion; then that you would procure a general confederation between the Kings, princes and commonwealths professing religion, namely, Denmark, Sueveland, the Princes of Germany, the Protestant Cantons of the Swisses and these United Provinces, and of this confederation your Majesty to be not only the director but the head and protector. Lastly, that by the favour, yea, and if necessity did so require, by the assistance of these confederates the Protestants of France might be, if not supported, yet at least relieved from that oppression which the alliance with Spain threatens upon them; and on this he long insisted, as the only coupe-gorge of all resultats whatsoever between France and Spain. When he had long and at large discoursed of these points, I asked what appearance there could be of this general confederation when as these Provinces, which heretofore have been accounted a principal member of the reformed church, began to falter in truth of religion; and that he who solely governed in the metropolitan province of Holland was reputed generally, as he best knew, to be the only patron of Vorstius and the protector of the schisms of Arminius? And likewise what possibility that the Protestants of France could expect favour from these Provinces when the same man is known solely to depend at the devotion of France? To my first demand he gave this answer, that though Monsr. Barnevelt had cast off all care of religion and some towns in Holland, wherein his power reigns, were infected with the like neglect, yet so long as so many good towns in Holland stand sound, and all the Provinces, if this confederacy were propounded it would be at the first motion cheerfully accepted. But he confessed that he found difficulty to satisfy my second demand, acknowledging that Barnevelt wholly is devoted to the service of France. For, said he, during the treaty of truce upon some differences between them the President Janin came to him, requiring him in the French King's name to treat Mons. Barnevelt well, whom the King had received into his protection. He added this second reason, that such letters which the States' Ambassador residing in France has written to Barnevelt (and to him all ambassadors address their despatches of importance) the very autographa themselves he sent back into the hands of De Villeroy. And hereupon he entered into a large discourse how suspicious the proceedings of this man are and how dangerous to their state, when one man, who has the conduct of all affairs in his sole power, shall hold underhand intelligence with the ministers of Spain and the Archduke, and that without warrant: whereby he may have the means so to carry the course of affairs that 'wyll they nyll they' these Provinces must fall or stand at the mercy and discretion of Spain. That therefore some good resolution may be taken in time to hold up the State from a sudden downfall, wherein he said much moderation and discretion is to be used. He told me that he had called hither against Mayday his cousin Count William of Nassau, who is a wise and a religious nobleman, that they both together may resolve of some such course which they hope shall preserve these countries from confusion, under the protection of your Majesty's safeguard and the assurance of your subjects which are in this service, who are both the strength and flower of this army. |
|
This is the sum of all that passed between us in this matter: wherein
when the Count had so freely opened himself I made known unto him
your Majesty's purpose to bestow on him the honour of your Order of
the Garter; and withal both for my better credit with him for this
present and my future negotiations prayed him to read your Majesty's
letter sent to me. Which when he had done, he said if your Majesty
should hold him worthy of so great honour he and his family should ever
remain, as ever they have been, bound to your service and to the
service of your royal posterity. Why the States should be offended he
saw no cause, yet holding the charge he does in their service, after he
should have notice of your gracious favour he could not accept it without
first acquainting them therewith and receiving therein their approbation.
To which I answered that your Majesty did well understand in what
quality he lived with the States, and therefore he could not but think
that it was your intention, upon the election of him into your Order,
to be the first that should advertise the States thereof, and to give me
charge to let them know that your Majesty judged that you honoured
the mutual amity between your realms and their provinces by honouring
the virtues of their General, whose services as they have been most
faithful and affectionate, so have they been accompanied with the
blessings of happiness and prosperous success. Which if your Majesty
shall vouchsafe to do, una fidelia duos dealbare parietes, renverse the
designs of them who to facilitate their own practices endeavour to
alienate your affections from the good of these provinces, and oblige
to your service the well affected people, who well know that there is no
surety for themselves, their wives and children but under the protection
of your Majesty's favour. This perhaps may ensue, that the favourers
of Vorstius and Arminius will 'busse' into the ears of their associates
that your Majesty would make a party in these provinces; first, by
maintaining the truth of religion, then by gaining unto you the affections
of their chief commander. But your Majesty may be pleased to pass
forth, whose worthy ends will take their place, which is to honour virtue
where you find it; and the suspicious surmises of malice and envy in one
instant will vanish into smoke. What hereafter your Majesty shall
direct for the continuance of this negotiation, which on my part shall
dutifully be observed with secrecy, I humbly attend; praying daily on
the knees both of body and heart for the preservation of your royal
Majesty. From the Hague, the 7th of April, stilo veteri. Holograph Seal over blue silk Endorsed: '7 April, 1612'. 9 pp. (129 96) |
