Orange received a similar answer from the Count ofAremberg. Either the seeds of distrust which the regent had scatteredamongst the nobility had already taken root, or the fear of theminister's power outweighed the abhorrence of his measures; at any rate, the whole nobility shrunk back timidly and irresolutely from theproposal. This disappointment did not, however, discourage them. Theletter was written and subscribed by all three (1563).

So long as the highest power should be entrusted tohim it would, they declared, be impossible for them to serve the nationand king effectually; on the other hand, all would revert to its formertranquillity, all opposition be discontinued, and the government regainthe affections of the people as soon as his majesty should be pleased toremove this man from the helm of the state. In that case, they added, neither exertion nor zeal would be wanting on their part to maintain inthese countries the dignity of the king and the purity of the faith, which was no less sacred to them than to the cardinal, Granvella.
