4to. pp. 3 p.l., 31. lacking A1 (blank or portrait?). modern wrs. (title lightly embrowned). Originally published in 1620 under the title 'Vox Populi'', this tract claimed to give an account of Count Gondomar's reception in Madrid in 1618 after settling preliminaries for the marriage of Prince Charles with the Infanta of Spain. "The ambassador is there made to explain his schemes for bringing England into subjection to Spain, to describe with evident satisfaction the crowds which went to assist at mass in his chapel in London, and to recount how he had won over the leading courtiers by his bribes. The whole story was an impudent fabrication, but at the time it was widely received." (DNB) The work includes references to the West Indies, Virginia, Bermuda, and Sir Walter Raleigh. Wing S2083. Sabin 78362 (calling for portrait). cfAlden 620/145.
