_Fossen_, _Thurin_, saith the fourth Verse, _Chief Ferrare shall run away_. _Fossen_, _Thurin_, doth not signifie two Towns, but one onely; for although _Fossen_ and _Thurin_ be two Towns, of which _Fossen_ in the time of the Wars in _Italy_ under _Henry_ II. belonged to the _Spaniard_, and _Thurin_ to the _French_. These two Towns signifie but one, which is that of _Fossen_, to which to distinguish it from _Marseilles_, he giveth the Epithete of _Thurin_, so much as to say, that he speaketh of _Fossen_ a Town of _Piemont_, the chief Town of which is _Thurin_, and not of _Fossen_, which the Author taketh often for _Marseilles_. Which the Author maketh plain, when he saith in the singular number, that _Fossen, Thurin, chief Ferrare shall run away_, to shew that it is onely one Town of which he speaketh, otherwise if he had intended to speake of two, he would have put it in the plural number, which is more manifest by the History, wherein we learn that _Fossen_ belonged to the _Spaniards_, and _Thurin_ to the _French_, and consequently, being of contrary parties, they could neither follow, nor fly from a Town which belonged to one of them. If any one should object, that the sense of the fourth Verse is, that the _Chief Ferrare_ shall fly or follow these two Towns, the preceding reason is repugnant to that sense; because a Town that is of one party, cannot be friend to two Towns, one of which is of its party, and the other of the contrary. The reading of this work shall convince every body, that the Author setteth down sometimes two Towns for one, to distinguish them from others, as he nameth _Paul Mansol_, to distinguish that Town of St. _Paul_, which is three Leagues from the _Rhosne_, over against _Pont_ St. _Esprit_, from that St. _Paul_ which is in _Provence_. Now that _Fossen_ in _Piemont_ shall run from _Cazal_ the chief City of _Montserrat_, because that being taken by the _French_, _Fossen_ could not expect but perpetual damages from it. But why? will you say, doth the Author speak rather of _Fossen_, than of other places that held for the _Spaniards_? I answer, because _Fossen_ was the strongest place that the _Spaniards_ had in _Piemont_ and which could not be taken by the _French_, though her neighbour _Saviliane_ was, as we shall shew hereafter. In the Vulgar impression of this Stanza, there is two faults, one is, that in the first Verse it puts _Aquileya_, which is a Town that is not in _Italy_, truth it is, that there is _Aquilee_ a little above _Venice_, but this hath no correspondency with _Fossen_, _Thurin_, nor the _Chief of Ferrara_.
