The historie of the poore boye whome God stirred upp to confounde and deride the Spaniardes and Portingales, when they were devidinge the woride betwene themselves alone, is so well knowen as I nede not stand to repeate it. But it is the Popes manner alwayes to meddle, as in this matter, so in other thinges, where they have nothinge to doe, and to intrude themselves before they be called.

"Why doost withdraw thy hand abacke and hide it in thy lappe? O pluck it out and bee not slacke to give thy foes a rap." "Rap" may have meant a heavier, a mightier blow then than it does now-a-days. Here is another curious verse from the seventieth psalm, "Confounde them that apply and seeke to make my shame And at my harme doe laugh & crye So So there goeth the game."

COSIMO. I beleve that the heddes of you, ordeined in every one of these battailes, be necessarie: albeit, I would doubt, lest that so many commaunders, should confounde all.

Tho gan the Prince of the worlde, when men so gan to delight in thadournyng of the worlde, to sowe vpon the good siede, the pestilente Dernell, that as thei multiplied in nombre, so iniquitie might encrease, to disturbe and confounde this blessed state.

Therefore shall God for eye confounde and pluck thee from thy place. Thy seed and root from out the grounde and so shall thee deface; The just when they behold thy fall with feare will praise the Lord: And in reproach of thee withall cry out with one accord.
