Prosecution of the Subject.

I Cannot omit the great assistance which the Venetians did this year send unto the Duke of Mantua, it being impossible for his Majesties whole. Army to have been with him soon enough, although some few Troops had already come to him. The King had by his Ambassador negotiated those Succours with the Venetians, upon the first discovery of the House of Austria's design. Now the Venetians were the easier enclined to send these Succours, it being their very great Interest to hin∣der the Spaniards growing power in Italy, especially so neer them, they having so often and so long had designs upon them. Besides they well knew, that they had at that present, several good Towns and places which formerly belonged to the Dutchy of Milan, but had been taken from it, by their Common-wealth; which peradventure the Spaniard might have a mind to recover from them. In conclusion they send divers times, Mony, Victuals, and some Troops unto the Duke of Man∣tua, which did not a little help to preserve him.
