With the acessiion of that prism, immstromet upon

papacy received fatal blows during the period
alluded to, and the history of toodern Earotaoia
may be
said to have commenced then. Previous *
have mot been in possession of the gooses. which we
have now at command. One remarkable miss of
trainee only lately opened for Spanish history—the
Archives of Elimances--" has held," to use the ex-
pends' of Mr. Prescott, "the secrete of the Spanish
tociaeseby hermetically sealed for ages." Mr.
Pressett has availed himself of the new sources
at his disposal with his usual industry
and diseriminatioo, and the reset is the
most traetworthy history of Philip IL, an far
as it hos goes, that we penmen. 'rho two volumes
already published bring down the history, to the date
of the death of Philip's third wife, Labelle.
There is no reign in which there seems a greater
laity of action than in that of Philip' 11. In spits of
the various episodes that at first appear to distract the
attention of the historical student, such as the revolt
of the Netherlands, we are perpetually kept in
presence of one dominating principle. We see Philip
himself submitting to be tyrannised over by one
grand law, which he takes se the moving impulse of
his life. This law he lays down himself in the fol-
lowing words:—" Pesos and public order are to be
maintained in my dominions only by maintaining the
authority of the Holy 8e.." To carry out this prin-
ciple was the grand object of his marriages, his ware,
his diplomatic activity, end finally his cruelties to his
protestant subjects.
It was this pricy, almost as sure and steady in its opera-
tion as the laws of Nature herself, that may be said te
have directed the march of events thrush the whole of
his bag rigs ; sad it is only by keeping this constantly la
view that the student will be enabled to obtain a clue to
guide him through the intricate passages in the history of
Philip, sad the best mains of solving what word otherwise
remain sarmatied in his conduct.
It was the intensity of his faith in the paramount
importance of the extension of the influence of the
only religion which he believed to be true, which
influenced him in his behaviour to the English during
his residence here :
That he gained largely ea their good will may be inferred
from the casual remarks of more thee see °Weaponry
writer. They bear emphatic testimony to the affability of
his masseur, sto Me to have been expectod from the peps
lam reports of his character. "Among other things," writes
Wottoe, the English minister at the french wort, "one I
have been right glad to hear of is, that the king's highness
earth binned so gently and lovingly to all men. For, to
tell you truth, I have heard wee my, that, when he come
out of Spain into Italy, it was brooms men wished that he
had showed a somewhat more Wigs couutsasnee to the
people than it was said he then did." Another costempo-
rary, in a prints letter, written soon after the kin's as.
trance tato London, after describing Ids penon as " so well
propertiosed that Nature rear week a more perfect pat-
ters " aoudads. with commending him for his " pregnant
wit l'ad most gentle nature."
Philip, from the hour of his Undies, had been onstest la
all his religious observances. "He was as mastual," mays
Michell, " is his attendance at num, sad his rostrums of
all the forms of devotion an monk ;—more so' as muse
people thosght, than Na as
uss ho age and station. The se-
clastastios." he adds, "with whom Philip had constant L-
isteners., talk loudly of hie piety."
Yankton was no hypocrisy in this. However willing
Philip may have been tW his ionsera for the interests of
religion might be sou of men, it is no less true that, as far
as hs understood shoos interests, his ewers was perfectly
sincere. The aster state of Breland may have even operated
as an Inducement with him to overuse his scruples as to
the ensure with Muy. " Better not reign at all," he
often remarked, " than reign over heretics." But what
triumph more glorious than that of couvertisg them heretics,
sad bringing them back again into the bosom of the church f
He woe meet serous to prepare the min hia new sub.
jests for an Wearable reception of the papal legite, Car-
dinal Pole, who was armed with full authority to receive
Car-
the submission of England to the Holy See. He employed
his personal In with the great nobles, and enforced
it cocasionsUy by liberal drafts on those Peruvian ingot&
which he had mat to the Tower. At least, it is asserted
that he gave away yearly pessioss, to the large amount of
between fifty and arty thousand gold aunts, to sundry of
the Queen's ministers. It was does ea the general plea of
recompensing their loyalty to their mistress.
Carious it was that this fixed idea was the source
from which sprung all his misfortunes, and which led
to the dissolution of the most magnificent monarchy
in Europe. Since the days of Philip 11. Spain has
gradually sunk from its position as a first-rate Power.
Its importance at his accession is well described by
Mr. Prescott :
Boom after Philip's arrival in Brauer took place that
memorable semis of the 'Niceties of Charles V., which
occupies the intredutery pages of oar aunties. By this
'wet, Philip saw himself master of the most widely ex-
tended and powerful monarchy fa Europe. He was ring
of Spain, comprehending ander that cams Castile, Aragon,
and Ora:tads, which, after surviving as Indepeadent stars
for centuries, had been first brought under one sceptre la
the taiga of his father, Charles the Fifth. He was King
of Naples and Sicily, and duke of Milan, which important
possessions seared Um to sostrel, to Cgrut octant, the
nicely balanced sears of Italian politic. He was Iced of
French. Color, and of the Lew North's, comprobandles

of England, he eveatually reared ea Wieser, whisk es we
shall see, enabled his to direr the counsels of that country
to his own purposes. Is Atria he possessed the Claps de
