means I take to be to appeal to your Majesty, being assured
of your piety and singular affection for the peace of the Church
of God and of your great power to continue to assist her in
the present occurrences. Wherefore I have resolved to send
the Sr. D'Hargenlieu, whom I have always known as a
gentleman well affectioned to such an end, to your Majesty,
and have desired the said La Huguerie and Sarrasin to make
the voyage with him, so that you may know how I am assured
that your authority may be used for the advancement of the
Church and the good of the poor Low Countries, on whom
depends the peace of the rest of Christianity. I pray your
Majesty to give credence to D'Hargenlieu and the others
as to myself.—Neustadt, 2 October, 1579.
