ENGLAND
AND
SPAINES
INTERMARRIAGES
,
with
a
briefe
tract
of
the
storie
of
those
Princes
concerning
those
affaires
.
PRescription
and
precedents
,
swaying
with
the
positiue
lawes
of
the
Kingdome
,
they
may
then
farre
better
ouer-rule
,
or
at
least
giue
Reall
satisfaction
,
in
point
of
meere
conceit
,
and
late
conceiued
disaffection
:
reading
our
owne
Annalles
and
Chronicles
,
we
shall
there
finde
many
mutuall
intermarriages
,
to
haue
beene
betweene
the
two
Royall
Crownes
,
of
England
and
Spaine
,
began
in
the
very
infancie
of
our
Monarchy
,
running
in
a
long
discent
,
chayned
and
linked
together
one
with
another
,
making
as
it
were
a
golden
Orbe
and
circle
of
sincere
Princely
loue
and
amity
:
so
that
many
mighty
Kings
of
Spaine
and
Portingale
,
haue
had
Royall
mothers
of
the
English
Nation
,
and
likewise
many
Royall
Princesses
of
Spaine
,
haue
beene
the
blessed
mothers
of
some
puisant
,
and
victorious
Kings
of
England
.
King
William
surnamed
the
conquerour
,
by
whom
England
receiued
his
last
subuersion
,
and
generall
alteration
,
his
courses
of
gouernment
,
institutions
and
lawes
(
by
which
wee
are
now
gouerned
)
being
exactly
executed
,
were
as
linkes
intermutually
fastned
,
made
so
strong
a
Chaine
,
that
it
hath
euer
since
held
together
,
the
whole
frame
of
the
state
in
peace
and
order
,
as
all
the
politique
Regiments
vpon
earth
,
all
the
inter-leagued
societies
of
men
,
cannot
shew
a
straighter
forme
of
combination
.
This
King
first
began
,
contracted
Margaret
his
youngest
daughter
,
to
Alphonsus
King
of
Galicia
:
Richard
the
first
,
surnamed
Cuer
de
Lyon
,
sonne
of
Henry
the
second
,
he
tooke
to
wife
Berengaria
,
daughter
of
Sanctius
King
of
Nauarr.
The
next
intermarriage
wee
finde
,
to
haue
betweene
those
two
Nations
being
England
,
had
thereby
a
Queene
(
therein
)
And
so
for
other
in
like
sort
;
I
will
be
more
particular
;
it
was
in
the
time
of
King
Henry
the
third
,
This
King
when
he
had
raigned
39.
yeares
,
with
infinite
and
daily
troubles
,
of
ciuill
warres
,
with
his
Barons
,
hee
was
suddainly
called
to
another
seruice
from
home
.
Alphonso
King
of
Spaine
,
England
.
Henry
the
third
,
fearing
the
Gascoyners
would
draw
in
the
Spaniards
,
peaceably
as
it
were
in
the
manner
of
a
Progresse
,
repayred
into
Gascoyne
,
Henry
,
Richard
,
and
Iohn
,
Kings
of
England
,
he
had
or
ought
to
haue
:
herevpon
the
King
of
England
sendeth
both
for
his
Queene
,
and
his
sonne
,
(
whom
the
King
of
Spaine
desired
,
Soone
after
,
the
Queene
and
her
sonne
arriuing
in
Gascoyne
,
when
all
things
were
rightly
prepared
,
Prince
Edward
was
thence
presently
sent
into
Spaine
,
where
,
at
the
Citie
of
Burges
,
he
married
the
Lady
Elenor
,
sister
to
the
King
with
great
honour
,
Gascoyne
,
Ireland
,
Bristowe
,
Stamford
,
and
Grantham
:
King
Henry
liued
after
the
marriage
of
his
sonne
seauenteene
yeares
;
during
which
time
,
this
Spanish
Lady
carried
her selfe
,
The
King
and
Queene
not
long
after
taking
their
iourney
together
towards
Scotland
,
the
Queene
in
her
way
thither-wards
,
sickned
and
dyed
in
the
yeare
1284.
The
king
almost
struck
dead
with
sorrpw
,
alters
his
resolution
,
returnes
backe
towards
London
,
with
a
long
and
sorrowfull
iourney
in
a
slowe
and
stately
manner
,
shee
being
conuayed
out
of
Lincolnshire
towards
London
,
in
her
honour
,
the
king
her
husband
,
(
who
loued
her
aboue
all
worldly
creatures
)
caused
those
many
famous
Crosses
to
bee
erected
,
wheresoeuer
her
Royall
corpes
did
rest
.
Our
owne
Writers
affirme
of
this
Queene
,
King
Edward
the
third
,
Iohn
of
Gaunt
Duke
of
Lancaster
,
fourth
sonne
of
King
Edward
the
third
,
did
take
to
wife
Constancia
,
eldest
daughter
of
Peter
King
of
Castile
.
To
whom
in
right
of
his
said
wife
Constancia
,
the
Kingdome
of
Castile
and
Leon
,
did
discend
,
and
they
both
stiled
themselues
King
and
Queene
of
Castile
,
and
Leon
,
which
illustrious
title
is
yet
to
be
seene
,
vpon
his
noble
monument
in
Saint
Pauls
Church
in
London
.
Katherine
the
sole
daughter
of
the
said
Duke
of
Lancaster
,
by
his
aforesaid
wife
Constancia
,
was
married
to
Henry
,
Edmund
Duke
of
Yorke
,
youngest
sonne
of
king
Edward
the
third
,
King
Henry
the
fourth
married
Iohanna
the
daughter
of
Charles
king
of
Nauarr.
The
next
intermarriage
wee
finde
,
betweene
England
and
Spaine
,
was
in
the
time
of
king
Henry
the
seauenth
,
his
owne
marriage
,
his
sonnes
with
Spaine
,
and
marriages
of
his
daughters
,
are
the
greatest
acts
of
State
,
our
English
Annalles
doe
afford
vs
,
first
his
owne
marriage
made
a
Vnion
,
whereupon
after
the
effusion
of
much
bloud
,
to
the
consumption
of
the
greatest
part
of
the
English
Nobility
,
there
followed
,
and
euer
since
continued
,
a
happy
peace
,
and
then
by
the
marriage
of
his
daughter
,
settled
an
vndoubted
and
permanent
succession
,
for
the
Crowne
of
England
,
the
blessed
happinesse
at
this
instant
wee
enioy
.
All
which
with
the
patience
of
the
Reader
,
contrary
to
my
intended
resolution
,
which
was
onely
for
the
story
of
the
Spanish
matches
,
I
will
a
little
digresse
,
and
briefly
touch
,
hauing
one
with
another
dependancy
and
coherence
.
This
king
Henry
the
seauenth
,
for
his
wisedome
was
said
to
be
a
second
Salomon
,
and
lay
somewhat
heauie
on
his
people
,
and
was
Auncestor
to
our
now
Soueraigne
,
who
will
peraduenture
some
way
,
both
for
the
mannaging
of
the
State
,
and
marriage
of
his
children
,
make
him
a
patterne
,
and
precedent
:
But
the
difference
is
(
the
more
is
our
happinesse
)
Henry
the
seauenth
his
gathering
of
treasure
together
,
was
to
heape
vp
in
store
,
as
appeared
being
found
at
Richmond
,
after
his
decease
vnder
his
owne
key
,
and
keeping
eighteene
hundred
thousand
pounds
sterling
.
A
huge
masse
of
money
for
those
times
.
Our
king
hath
expressed
his
Royall
and
Princely
bounty
,
and
exposed
his
treasure
vpon
important
occasions
,
wherevnto
his
Maiestie
hath
beene
necessitated
,
gathered
vp
from
his
Subiects
,
but
as
showers
of
raine
,
that
falls
backe
vpon
the
earth
againe
.
But
it
hath
beene
of
late
,
and
it
is
very
like
hence-forth
it
will
be
imployed
to
repay
,
support
,
and
supply
.
About
the
ninth
yeare
of
king
Henry
the
seauenth
his
raigne
,
there
was
one
Peter
Hyalus
an
Ambassador
,
Peter
Hyalus
the
Spanish
Ambassadour
,
were
two
of
the
happiest
instruments
that
euer
were
,
the
one
for
composing
and
contriuing
the
marriage
betweene
king
Henry
the
seauenth
,
and
Elizabeth
the
eldest
daughter
of
Edward
the
fourth
,
whereby
the
two
houses
of
Yorke
and
Lancaster
were
vnited
,
and
Hyalus
a
fore-runner
of
good
hap
,
was
therefore
by
some
called
an
Elias
,
being
the
first
motiue
and
speciall
meanes
of
the
intermarriage
betweene
England
and
Scotland
,
whereby
we
enioy
our
now
Soueraigne
,
whom
God
graunt
long
to
raigne
ouer
vs
.
The
Spaniards
are
obserued
generally
to
be
acute
and
ingenious
,
and
many
of
them
of
great
wisdome
,
and
deepe
iudgements
,
some
reason
thereof
conceiued
,
for
that
they
are
freer
from
the
dull
discease
of
drinke
,
then
other
Nations
are
.
The
great
Historians
writes
in
this
manner
of
them
.
The
Spaniards
are
more
able
,
To
haue
peace
with
England
doth
vs
betide
,
warres
with
all
the
world
beside
.
These
our
auncient
Writers
affirme
,
The
marriage
with
Spaine
was
almost
seauen
yeares
in
treaty
,
The
second
day
of
October
,
Amongst
the
deuices
,
and
conceits
of
the
tryumphes
at
the
marriage
,
there
was
a
great
deale
of
Astronomy
:
the
Lady
being
resembled
to
Hesperus
,
and
the
Prince
to
Arcturus
:
and
the
olde
king
Alphonsus
,
that
was
the
great
Astronomer
of
kings
(
and
Ancestor
to
the
Lady
)
was
brought
in
to
be
Fortune-teller
of
the
match
:
And
whosoeuer
had
those
toyes
in
compyling
,
they
were
not
altogether
pedanticall
.
But
we
may
be
sure
,
that
king
Arthur
the
Brittaine
(
in
whose
acts
were
worth
enough
to
make
him
famous
,
besides
that
which
is
fabulous
written
of
him
:
)
the
Prince
his
discent
from
him
,
and
the
Lady
Katherine
from
the
house
of
Lancaster
,
was
not
forgotten
;
those
two
particulars
had
a
great
part
in
the
play
:
But
it
seemes
,
it
is
not
good
to
fetch
fortune
from
the
Starres
.
This
young
prince
Arthur
,
drow
vpon
him
not
onely
the
hopes
and
affections
of
his
Country
,
but
the
eyes
and
expectations
of
Forraigners
,
all
frustrated
,
enioying
him
so
little
a
time
,
as
they
did
,
the
great
alterations
,
and
strange
euents
afterwards
ensuing
.
The
marriage
portion
the
Princesse
brought
,
The
Ioyncture
,
The
February
next
following
,
Henry
Duke
of
Yorke
,
afterward
Henry
the
Eight
,
was
created
Prince
of
Wales
,
and
Earle
of
Chester
;
For
the
Dukedome
of
Cornewall
,
deuolued
vnto
him
by
Statute
,
which
was
halfe
a
yeares
distance
taken
for
his
creation
,
and
his
Prince
Arthurs
death
,
which
was
construed
to
be
,
to
exprect
a
full
time
,
whereby
it
might
appeare
,
whether
the
Lady
Katherine
were
with
childe
by
Prince
Arthur
or
not
;
when
this
doubt
was
cleered
,
Henry
the
Prince
of
Wales
,
was
presently
Contracted
to
the
Lady
Katherine
his
brother
Prince
Arthurs
Widow
,
the
reason
of
the
Kings
so
doing
,
some
Writers
affirme
,
was
because
he
was
close
handed
,
and
would
not
part
with
a
second
Dowrie
;
some
others
affirme
(
and
it
is
like
they
are
neerest
the
truth
)
out
of
his
affection
to
Ferdinando
King
of
Spaine
,
with
whom
he
had
euer
a
consent
,
euen
in
nature
and
customes
,
and
out
of
a
politicke
consideration
,
to
continue
his
alyance
with
Spaine
,
being
assured
,
that
the
Lady
was
of
a
most
worthy
,
vertuous
,
and
Princely
disposition
,
and
in
his
profound
iudgement
,
knew
that
wiues
were
casuall
commodities
,
both
for
the
loue
he
bore
to
his
Sonne
,
and
the
kingdome
;
for
that
neither
of
them
should
runne
another
hazzard
,
reteyned
the
Lady
to
be
Queene
of
England
.
The
next
instantly
taken
in
hand
,
The
Mariage
was
in
August
following
consumated
at
Edenborough
,
King
Henry
bringing
his
Daughter
as
farre
as
Colliweston
on
the
way
,
and
then
consigning
her
to
the
attendance
of
the
Earle
of
Northumberland
,
who
with
a
great
troope
of
Lords
and
Ladies
of
Honour
,
brought
her
into
Scotland
to
the
King
her
Husband
.
This
Mariage
had
beene
in
treatie
by
the
space
almost
of
three
yeares
,
from
the
time
that
Hyalus
made
the
first
ouerture
,
and
that
the
King
of
Scotland
shortly
after
,
opened
his
minde
to
Bishop
Foxe
.
The
summe
giuen
in
mariage
portion
by
the
King
,
The
King
as
it
is
reported
,
Margaret
,
Iames
the
Fift
,
Now
seeing
I
haue
gone
thus
farre
in
matters
of
Mariage
,
contrary
to
my
intent
,
as
not
to
haue
medled
with
any
but
those
of
Spaine
,
I
will
now
goe
through
by
way
of
touch
,
rather
then
by
ample
discourse
,
of
the
mariage
of
the
last
,
and
indeed
of
all
the
Daughters
and
children
of
King
Henry
the
Seauenth
;
France
,
Charles
Brandon
Duke
of
Suffolke
,
to
fetch
her
from
thence
,
who
maried
her
,
and
by
him
she
had
issue
:
the
farther
particulars
in
those
affaires
,
I
leaue
the
readers
,
to
the
perusall
of
the
workes
of
many
Writers
,
For
Henry
the
Seauenth
I
will
conclude
,
being
he
himselfe
by
the
generall
concluder
of
all
,
was
concluded
.
(
Only
this
)
he
had
the
fotune
of
a
true
Christian
,
aswell
as
of
a
great
King
,
The
King
according
to
the
contract
made
by
his
Father
,
The
storie
of
the
Kings
life
,
more
or
otherwise
then
it
shall
concerne
the
diuorce
;
the
Ladies
life
and
conuersation
,
I
will
not
here
meddle
;
many
haue
written
of
him
at
large
,
but
the
lesse
is
the
more
,
for
his
commendation
:
Pollidor
Vigill
relateth
,
Parentem
habuit
virum
probum
at
lanium
,
had
an
honest
man
to
his
Father
,
but
a
Butcher
:
then
for
the
particular
story
of
his
life
,
more
then
shall
concerne
this
affaire
,
I
leaue
the
Readers
to
many
other
Authors
that
haue
written
the
same
at
large
;
but
in
briefe
,
he
was
intollerable
wicked
,
pompous
,
and
magnificent
,
and
according
to
the
fate
(
commonly
of
such
men
)
his
end
was
infamous
and
infortunate
;
vpon
some
priuate
grudge
he
bore
to
Queene
Katherine
,
partly
to
be
reuenged
thereby
vpon
her
Nephew
the
Emperour
,
because
he
would
not
make
him
Pope
(
as
secretly
he
had
requested
him
)
and
partly
because
often-times
in
a
most
secret
,
louing
,
and
gentle
fashion
,
she
had
admonished
and
warned
him
of
his
couetousnesse
,
tyranny
;
of
his
extortions
,
oppressions
;
of
his
pride
and
licentious
course
of
life
;
such
men
,
when
they
are
told
of
those
things
,
being
eminent
and
powerfull
,
vsually
will
extend
it
to
the
highest
,
to
execute
their
malice
;
which
Wolsey
so
did
towards
the
Queene
,
as
it
afterwards
fell
out
to
bee
apparant
,
that
to
the
King
in
priuate
hee
had
cast
some
scruples
,
with
some
subtle
disputations
,
concerning
the
lawfulnesse
,
and
nullitie
of
the
Kings
mariage
,
who
hauing
(
as
it
seemed
)
a
desire
to
change
,
as
by
his
hauing
so
many
Wiues
,
afterwards
it
was
somewhat
probable
,
made
a
great
shew
and
expressure
to
the
world
,
that
he
began
to
be
tender
ouer
his
conscience
,
and
prouident
to
establish
the
true
succession
of
the
kingdome
,
in
a
lawfull
heire
;
strucke
so
great
an
impression
into
him
,
and
so
busied
his
cogitations
and
thoughts
,
that
a
religious
sorrow
began
to
seaze
vpon
him
(
and
to
auoide
the
continuance
in
that
incestuous
sinne
)
vntill
by
a
iudiciall
sentence
,
the
doubts
were
cleered
,
he
refrained
from
the
Queenes
bed
;
and
the
Cardinall
to
make
himselfe
more
great
then
he
was
,
procured
a
Commission
from
the
Pope
,
to
be
directed
to
him
,
and
to
his
ancient
brother
Cardinall
Campeius
,
that
before
them
as
supreme
Iudges
,
that
question
(
by
legall
processe
and
proceedings
)
might
be
heard
,
debated
on
,
and
censured
,
according
to
the
lawes
of
God
.
These
two
Legates
(
hauing
receiued
their
Commission
)
informeth
the
Queene
of
their
authoritie
and
power
,
and
she
in
some
passion
accused
Wolsey
,
as
the
principall
brocher
of
that
doubt
,
and
a
maintainer
of
that
contention
,
which
he
denied
,
and
excused
himselfe
.
The
King
pretending
nothing
in
this
businesse
but
truth
,
sinceritie
,
and
Iustice
,
according
to
the
Lawes
of
God
and
man
,
was
well
contented
,
that
the
Queene
should
make
choyse
of
the
greatest
Clerkes
,
and
the
best
learned
men
in
the
kingdome
,
to
defend
,
and
maintaine
her
cause
,
which
she
accordingly
did
,
William
Warham
then
Archbishop
of
Canterbury
,
and
Nicholas
West
Bishop
of
Ely
,
Iohn
Fisher
Bishop
of
Rochester
,
and
Henry
Standish
Bishop
of
Assoph
.
For
the
prosecuting
of
this
businesse
,
a
stately
Court
was
erected
in
the
great
Hall
at
the
Black-Friers
,
where
the
two
Legates
sate
as
Iudges
,
the
King
and
Queene
scited
in
their
owne
persons
,
or
by
their
Procters
to
appeare
.
The
King
by
his
Procter
submitted
himselfe
to
the
Apostulation
authority
and
power
,
which
by
the
Pope
to
the
two
Legates
was
giuen
:
But
the
Queene
her selfe
(
accompanied
with
many
Lords
,
Knights
,
Ladies
,
Gentlemen
and
Gentlewomen
)
and
hauing
first
done
great
reuerence
to
the
two
Legates
)
appealed
from
them
(
as
from
Iudges
,
which
were
not
compotent
,
and
indifferent
,
to
determine
betwixt
the
Queene
and
King
)
to
the
Court
at
Rome
;
This
appeale
they
allowed
not
,
but
in
the
same
Court
they
sate
weekely
,
and
before
them
many
learned
and
subtill
Disputations
,
touching
the
lawfulnesse
;
and
also
concerning
the
insufficiencie
of
that
Mariage
,
were
daily
made
before
them
.
The
King
perceiuing
,
that
no
quicke
dispatch
was
vsed
,
though
oftentimes
they
deliberately
consulted
,
came
with
the
Queene
into
the
said
Court
,
where
his
Maiestie
solemnly
protested
his
infinite
loue
towards
her
,
acknowledging
her
to
be
the
most
amiable
,
Then
was
the
Queene
demanded
,
whether
shee
would
sticke
to
her
appeale
or
no
,
who
answered
yea
,
yet
for
all
that
,
the
Court
proceeded
weekely
,
though
softly
,
as
before
.
The
Queene
presently
rose
vp
,
and
going
about
the
Court
to
the
King
,
fell
downe
on
her
knees
before
his
feete
,
and
in
the
hearing
of
the
people
spake
thus
in
effect
;
The
King
perceiuing
that
she
was
departed
,
The
Court
sate
many
times
after
,
where
many
subtle
and
vebement
allegations
were
vrged
for
the
lawfulnesse
and
nullity
of
the
Mariage
,
the
King
eagerly
bent
to
haue
an
end
,
foresaw
he
should
neuer
there
haue
any
:
whilest
the
businesse
was
in
debate
and
handling
,
he
priuately
imployed
diuers
Lords
,
and
the
greatest
Diuines
within
his
kingdome
,
to
trauaile
into
all
the
Vniuersities
in
the
Christian
world
,
and
there
to
be
resolued
of
their
opinions
,
touching
the
validitie
or
nullity
of
the
mariage
.
And
when
they
all
returned
,
they
brought
with
them
twelue
Instruments
,
sealed
with
the
publike
Seales
of
so
many
of
the
Vniuersities
,
and
also
the
opinions
of
sundry
great
and
famous
learned
men
:
The
King
sent
those
Instruments
vnto
the
Queene
,
desiring
to
be
satisfied
from
her
,
whether
she
would
yeeld
her
consent
to
the
Diuorce
or
no
,
for
the
quieting
of
the
Kings
conscience
,
to
referre
it
to
foure
Prelates
,
and
foure
temporall
Lords
.
The
Queene
thereunto
made
a
long
,
graue
,
noble
,
and
patient
answer
,
positiuely
concluding
,
she
would
not
submit
her selfe
to
any
course
therein
:
vntill
the
Court
of
Rome
which
was
priuie
to
the
beginning
,
had
made
there
a
determination
and
finall
end
:
the
King
hauing
seuerall
times
formerly
sent
vnto
the
Pope
,
had
beene
long
delayed
,
seeing
no
likelihood
of
an
end
,
resolued
no
longer
to
wait
in
his
attendance
on
the
Court
of
Rome
,
went
roundly
and
resolutely
on
in
another
course
,
summons
a
Parliament
,
there
shewing
the
twelue
Instruments
from
the
seuerall
Vniuersities
,
So
here
you
haue
heard
the
relation
of
the
Story
of
this
great
Queene
Katherine
,
though
infortunate
,
was
indeed
,
a
mirrour
and
example
of
wisedome
,
integritie
,
sincerity
,
and
all
Royall
and
Princely
vertues
.
Yet
it
is
vnlike
,
but
that
before
her
comming
ouet
into
this
kingdome
,
she
might
be
detractiuely
expostulated
of
,
and
had
not
she
beene
as
she
is
here
discribed
,
(
as
the
times
afterwards
were
)
she
would
assuredly
haue
had
her
part
of
detraction
from
our
Writers
,
as
they
haue
beene
some
way
sparing
of
her
due
commendation
.
After
her
separation
and
diuorce
from
the
King
,
there
is
little
newes
of
her
,
but
that
within
some
three
yeares
after
at
Kimbleton
in
the
County
of
Huntington
,
The
next
mariage
betwixt
England
and
Spaine
,
King
Philip
the
second
came
ouer
into
England
and
married
Queene
Mary
,
Daughter
to
Henry
the
Eight
,
which
he
had
by
Queene
Katherine
of
Spaine
.
That
Mariage
is
yet
so
fresh
in
memory
,
and
amongst
the
countrie
people
is
indeed
a
great
occasion
of
producing
those
feares
and
doubts
,
they
seeme
to
apprehend
,
these
things
I
must
acknowledge
,
are
too
great
a
consequence
of
State
for
me
to
meddle
withall
,
yet
vnder
fauour
as
a
Moderator
,
I
would
willingly
the
country
people
should
truly
know
and
take
it
into
their
considerations
,
that
for
those
persecutions
in
Queene
Maryes
time
(
it
was
thought
)
she
was
much
the
more
thereunto
drawne
by
her
two
Bishops
,
that
were
such
bloud-hounds
(
Gardener
and
Bonner
)
King
Phillip
was
both
a
mediator
,
and
Moderator
,
what
he
could
,
to
stay
them
,
the
which
with
the
story
of
the
mariage
,
and
other
passages
concerning
the
same
,
I
will
here
as
our
owne
Writers
haue
affirmed
,
briefly
and
truely
relate
.
Queene
Mary
her
intent
to
marry
with
King
Phillip
,
she
caused
to
be
published
:
Stephen
Gardener
then
Lord
Chancellour
,
made
a
speech
to
the
Nobilitie
in
the
Chamber
of
presence
,
setting
forth
the
honour
,
the
riches
,
and
augmentation
of
Titles
to
the
Crowne
of
England
;
yet
was
it
distastefull
to
many
,
great
feares
and
doubts
instantly
conceaued
would
follow
,
as
well
the
Church
reformed
,
as
for
the
pollitique
,
and
State
affaires
of
the
kingdome
.
The
first
beginners
of
commotion
were
,
Henry
Duke
of
Suffolke
,
and
Sir
Thomas
Wyat
,
making
Proclaimations
for
the
abandoning
of
strangers
,
and
to
withstand
the
Queenes
mariage
with
King
Philip
,
the
reasons
they
further
alleaged
and
published
,
their
proceedings
and
infortunate
ends
,
I
leaue
the

the
perusall

that

had

beene

.
Then
there
were
Articles
agreed
on
,
which
were
branched
out
into
tenne
propositions
,
whereunto
King
Philip
subscribed
,
they
were
very
honourable
for
England
:

Then
with
the
consent
of
all
parties
,
Mary
.
Anno
1554.
the
marriage
with
great
state
was
solemnized
at
Winchester
vpon
Wednesday
,
being
the
25.
of
Iuly
on
Saint
Iames
day
,
where
the
Emperours
Ambassadours
presently
pronounced
,
that
in
consideration
of
this
marriage
,
their
Maister
had
giuen
vnto
his
sonne
Philip
,
the
Kingdomes
of
Naples
and
Ierusalem
:
whereupon
their
titles
by
Garter
King
at
Armes
,
was
solemnly
proclaimed
with
these
stiles
as
followeth
.
Philip
and

,
Counties
of

,
and
Tyroll
.
In
Nouember
following
the
marriage
,
the
Queene
was
reported
to
haue
bene
conceiued
with
Childe
:
for
ioy
whereof
,
Te
Deum
was
commaunded
solemnly
to
be
sung
,
and
Processions
and
Prayers
made
for
her
safe
deliuerance
.
The
Queene
tooke
her
Chamber
,
the
Court
was
full
of
Midwiues
and
Gentlewomen
Attendants
,
Rockers
were
prouided
,
the
Cradle
prepared
,
and
all
made
so
certaine
,
that
some
were
punished
for
publishing
doubts
thereof
to
the
contrary
,
in
so
much
as
it
passed
in
Parliament
,
that
if
God
should
take
away
Queene
Mary
,
their
supposed
young
Master
comming
into
the
world
,
Richard
Southwell
Knight
of
the
house
.
should
finde
himselfe
prouided
for
.
It
was
by
Act
of
Parliament
ordayned
,
that
King
Philip
should
be
Protector
of
her
issue
,
and
Gouernour
of
the
Realmes
,
vntill
their
Prince
or
Princesses
should
come
of
able
yeares
.
King
Philip
apprehended
continuall
feares
,
and
doubts
of
the
English
,
in
regard
of
the
maligners
of
his
marriage
:
for
at
his
first
entrance
the
dore
of
his
great
Hall
of
his
Court
,
for
the
most
part
kept
shut
,
or
straightly
guarded
,
not
any
suffered
to
enter
,
vnlesse
his
businesse
was
first
made
knowne
.
The
Lords
some
of
them
hauing
formerly
shewed
themselues
to
haue
been
much
against
the
marriage
,
hauing
leaue
to
depart
London
,
had
straight
commaundement
to
send
all
their
Harnesse
and
Artillary
to
the
Tower
,
which
was
done
.
The
King
was
as
well
doubtfull
of
those
that
beare
a
faire
shew
,
conceiuing
it
vpon
this
ground
:
For
that
a
Noble
man
in
consultation
had
giuen
his
counsell
to
cut
off
Lady
Elizabeths
head
;
whereby
he
assured
himselfe
,
that
those
so
bad
minded
towards
their
owne
naturall
Princesse
,
could
not
be
better
to
him
a
stranger
:
hee
was
graciously
courteous
to
the
English
,
and
endeuoured
all
wayes
and
meanes
to
gaine
their
loues
and
affections
:
For
which
he
layd
a
good
foundation
,
became
an
earnest
mediator
,
King
Philip
at
length
obtained
his
suite
,
that
the
Lady
Elizabeth
was
brought
to
Hampton
Court
,
and
for
14.
dayes
there
locked
vp
,
and
laid
at
by
Gardiner
to
submit
her selfe
,
hauing
not
seene
her
sister
in
two
yeares
before
:
shee
was
sent
for
into
the
Queenes
Chamber
about
tenne
of
the
clocke
in
the
night
,
which
she
no
sooner
had
entered
,
but
falling
vpon
her
knees
,
shee
prayed
to
God
to
preserue
her
Soueraigne
Maiestie
,
protesting
her
loyalty
,
and
truth
to
her
person
whatsoeuer
had
beene
spoken
,
or
instigated
to
the
contrary
.
At
which
time
there
was
betweene
them
long
and
much
debate
,
the
Lady
Elizabeth
made
good
her
innocency
:
Queene
Mary
replied
in
Spanish
(
God
knowes
,
)
and
so
went
away
,
King
Philip
standing
behinde
the
Arras

the
time
.
About
some
weeke
after

she
termed

,
and
Master
Gage
the
Queenes
Gentleman
Vsher
,
were
still
her
Attendants

all
Queene
Maries
time
.
But
the
death
of
Gardiner
immediatly
followed
,
those
stormes
grew
more
calmer
,
and
the
Lady
Elizabeth
euery
day
more
affectionately
respected
.
King
Philip
by
this
his
honourable
and
worthy
act
,
gayned
him
the
loue
of
many
the
Nobility
and
Gentry
of
the
Kingdome
,
and
did
thereby
so
indeare
and
ingratiate
himselfe
into
the
affections
of

Commons

went
to

Father

to
take
possession

Low

where
he
stayed
a
yeare
and
a

the
great
griefe
of

the

,
and
brought
through
London
,
accompanied
with
many
Peeres
of
the
Realme
,
as
in
triumph
against
a
Coronation
.
In
the
Kings
absence
many
conspiracies
had
beene
attempted
,
but
they
were
like
vapours
that
are
drawne
vp
by
the
Sunne
,
and
falls
againe
:
so
those
actors
(
as
commonly
incident
to
such
men
)
were
drawne
vp
with
hemp
by
the
hand
of
Iustice
,
before
they
did
any
hurt
,
The
Emperour
ouer-worne
with
the
affaires
of
the
world
,
Florence
,
Naples
,
Scicilie
,
Tuscane
,
Elbe

and
Calabria
,
perswaded
that
those
mournefull
iarres
of
Christian
Princes
,
Charles
the
Emperour
,
as
he
hath
beene
discribed

those

an
excellent

is
shewed
both
in
that
his
sage
and
graue
obseruation
,
as
also
for
his
like
Councell
giuen
to
his
sonne
Philip.
The
consideration
of
both
are
fitting
,
The

may
be

and
confined
him
within
the
walls
of
Rome
,
hee
sent
to
Henry
the
French
king
for
ayde
,
and
withall
sent
him
a
tryumphant
Hat
,
with
a
stately
Sword
,
and
thereupon
had
succour
by
the
Guise
,
who
remoued
the
siege
,
and
set
the
Pope
at
liberty
.
But
the
French
decreasing
for
want
of
pay
,
and
the
Spaniard
still
raising
their
Trophees
of
victory
,
the
Pope
thought
it
the
surest
to
hold
with
the
strongest
,
The
occasion
that
Queene
Mary
tooke
for
the
breach
of
the
peace
,
was
more
vpon
pretences
,
Sau●y
,
Brunswike
;
the
Earles
of
Egmonde
,
Horne
,
and
Mansfield
,
inuaded
the
French
confines
,
and
planted
a
strong
siege
against
Saint
Quintens
,
which
shortly
after
by
the
English
,
Monsieur
Mountomorancie
Constable
of
Frunce
,
and
Generall
,
was
taken
prisoner
.
Queene
Mary
contrary
to
her
promise
and
agreement
,
made
vpon
her
marriage
with
King
Philip
,
entangled
her
Subiects
,
with
the
quarrels
of
the
Spaniards
:
The
greatioy
conceiued
for
the
victory
,
was
shortly
after
dashed
,
with
as
much
sorrow
for
the
losse
of
Galice
.
The
English
after
they
had
so
gotten
Saint
Quintens
,
they
afforded
to
themselues
either
little
list
,
or
leasure
more
,
or
otherwise
;
but
betooke
themselues
to
their
delights
,
disorders
,
and
pleasures
,
and
onely
to
keepe
,
and
make
good
what
they
had
newly
gotten
,
grew
negligent
,
and
carelesse
of
the
Towne
of
Calice
,
that
the
Forts
thereabouts
for
defence
being
vnrespectiuely
regarded
(
wonne
by
that
victorious
Prince
Edward
the
third
)
and
that
by
no
lesse
then
eleuen
moneths
siege
(
were
in
the
compasse
of
eight
dayes
besieged
,
surprized
,
and
wonne
)
in
the
depth
of
Winter
,
to
the
worldes
wonder
,
and
not
without
great
suspition
of
treachery
,
which
happened
the
the
12.
day
of
lanuary
:
and
in
the
second
moneth
,
were
surrendred
the
strong
Fort
of
Guies
,
and
Hames
,
whereby
all
the
English
sooting
was
lost
in
the
continent
of
Fraunce
.
So
here
you
may
see
,
that
our
owne
Writers
affirme
,
that
the
breach
of
the
peace
with
the
French
King
,
was
not
any
wayes
by
the
occasion
of
King
Philip
,
nor
the
losse
of
Calice
by
his
default
:
After
his
great
victory
at
Saint
Quintens
,
he
would
admit
no
peace
at
all
with
the
French
,
but
with
restoring
Calice
,
vntill
the
English
themselues
,
without
him
made
their
peace
,
and
renownced
Calice
to
the
French
for
euer
.
These
Iosses
were
greeuous
,
to
the
English
Nobility
,
and
most
of
all
,
to
Queene
Mary
her selfe
:
After
she
had
abolished
the
Gospell
,
restored
the
Popes
Supremacie
,
whatsoeuer
she
tooke
in
hand
,
was
no
wayes
prosperous
,
but
in
all
things
infortunate
:
her
conceptions
failing
,
extreame
dearthes
rayning
,
hurt
done
by
thunders
from
heauen
,
and
Fire
in
the
Royall
Nauy
,
Forraigne
losses
,
Calice
surrendred
,
which
could
neuer
be
recouered
,
vpon
any
composition
;
and
King
Philip
alwayes
in
troubles
,
and
turmoyling
warres
,
occasioned
his
keeping
from
court
,
so
that
Queene
Mary
her
life
(
during
her
raignet
)
was
little
pleasurable
,
or
that
she
scance
●●ioyed
any
delights
,
or
at
lease
little
contentment
as
all
:
which
so
much
augmented
hor
melancholly
,
which
grew
to
a
burning
Feauer
,
when
she
had
raigned
fiue
yeares
;
Now
next
in
course
doth
follow
,
the
relation
of
the
passages
,
betweene
England
and
Spaine
:
after
King
Philip
his
returne
thither
,
which
was
immediatly
after
Queene
Maries
death
,
and
during
the
time
of
the
raigne
,
of
the
late
Queene
Elizabeth
,
where
then
I
come
to
the
Spring
head
,
from
whence
the
auersenesse
,
and
vnwillingnesse
of
the
Commons
doe
rise
,
for
our
Princes
Royall
match
with
Spaine
,
the
remembrance
of
the
late
Hostile
warrs
,
with
other
the
passages
,
which
plebian
like
,
they
haue
by
tradition
,
as
the
Brittaines
had
the
story
of
their
times
deliuered
them
by
their
Druides
.
These
things
,
being
they
concerne
the
breach
of
the
league
betweene
England
and
Spaine
,
may
be
thought
too
deepe
,
and
of
too
great
a
consequence
of
State
,
to
be
medled
withall
:
I
hope
I
shall
minister
no
cause
of
offence
,
nor
innouation
,
but
rather
giue
satisfaction
,
and
occasion
moderation
:
For
here
I
obserue
in
the
Country
,
the
Papists
in
their
discourses
,
magnifying
the
Royall
proceedings
of
King
Philip
,
and
the
Spaniards
in
generall
,
lay
some
taxe
,
and
aspersion
vpon
the
late
Queene
Elizabeth
,
which
is
very
harsh
,
and
much
displeasing
to
the
Protestants
:
And
then
on
the
other
side
,
they
vrge
and
agrauate
against
the
Spaniards
,
with
much
bitternesse
,
and
thereupon
they
fall
into
expostulation
,
Pro
&
Gon
,
of
the
Princes
match
,
neither
vnderstanding
nor
taking
into
their
considerations
,
more
or
farther
,
then
to
make
good
their
owne
part
,
&
conceit
,
which
breedeth
difference
amongst
our selues
,
maketh
and
maintaineth
a
partition
wall
,
betwixt
the
English
and
the
Spaniards
,
in
such
loue
as
should
be
betwixt
Subiects
,
whose
Soueraignes
are
in
league
&
amity
.
That
the
Commons
might
not
so
disobediently
,
in
their
affections
,
muteny
against
that
which
the
King
hath
so
laboured
,
and
doth
so
much
desire
to
bring
to
passe
,
as
also
for
their
so
much
expostulation
thereof
,
the
scope
of
my
endeuours
,
onely
end
,
and
ayme
of
my
ambition
is
,
that
these
my
labours
might
occasion
some
moderation
therein
:
For
the
better
accomplishing
thereof
,
and
giuing
the
better
satisfaction
in
those
particulars
,
I
will
here
relate
some
obseruations
,
which
the
Papists
haue
formerly
collected
,
and
vsually
in
their
discourses
will
vrge
them
:
the
vsage
and
carriage
of
the
Spaniards
towards
the
English
,
and
other
Nations
,
and
the
English
towards
them
,
with
some
other
former
passages
betweene
the
two
Nations
.
I
could
wish
the
Commons
would
beleeue
these
things
,
so
farre
forth
as
their
owne
knowledge
,
or
true
informations
doe
not
extend
the
contrary
,
and
the
Papists
to
doe
the
like
;
for
that
which
is
here
alleaged
either
concerning
the
late
Queene
Elizabeth
,
or
the
King
of
Spaine
,
neither
part
to
be
transported
with
passion
;
but
of
those
things
,
to
make
a
fauourable
,
and
the
best
construction
,
and
mutually
to
take
them
into
a
charitable
and
reconciliable
consideration
:
The
particulars
are
as
followeth
.
The
Papists
alleage
,
Iames
Fitz-Morris
,
and
Sir
Thomas
Stukely
,
Sir
Iames
Fitz-Morris
returning
againe
the
next
yeare
,
to
aske
succours
for
the
Irish
,
to
haue
from
Spaine
some
forces
,
to
carie
for
Ireland
,
denied
the
same
againe
,
vntill
at
the
last
,
at
the
carnest
suite
of
the
Pope
,
for
that
Doctor
Saunders
vpon
his
extreame
zeale
,
had
aduentured
to
goe
thither
before
in
person
,
to
comfort
the
Irish
,
not
hauing
with
him
aboue
50.
men
,
the
King
was
contented
to
winke
at
,
and
say
nothing
,
whiles
Sega
the
Bishop
of
Placentia
,
the
Popes
Nuncio
,
vnder
certaine
of
the
Italian
Captaines
,
did
send
thither
some
fiue
hundred
Souldiers
,
taken
vpon
the
Sea
coasts
of
Italy
,
which
were
those
that
were
slaine
by
the
Lord
Gray
in
Ireland
.
Then
doe
the
Papists
farther
vrge
,
the
Queenes
taking
of
Flushing
,
Brill
,
and
Oste-end
,
and
other
Townes
in
Flaunders
,
and
likewise
the
assisting
,
and
countenancing
of
Duke
Mathias
,
at
his
first
comming
,
and
after
Monsicur
Duke
of
Alenson
;
and
likewise
the
setting
vp
the
title
of
Don
Antonio
King
of
Portugale
:
and
sending
him
into
his
Country
,
with
an
Army
:
The
intercepting
the
King
of
Spaine
his
money
,
first
in
the
Duke
of
Alua
his
time
,
and
many
times
afterwards
,
the
sending
of
Hawkins
,
Frobrisher
,
Drake
,
and
Candish
,
and
others
to
the
Indies
,
and
some
of
them
euen
to
Spaine
it selfe
:
For
which
there
were
speciall
Commissions
graunted
,
that
whatsoeuer
could
be
taken
from
the
Spaniards
,
to
be
held
as
lawfull
reprisalls
,
and
those
Commissions
to
be
specified
,
in
Stowe
his
Chronicles
.
Then
they
alleadge
,
The
Papists
farther
vrge
,
and
haue
collected
,
that
in
Nouember
1591.
Queene
Elizabeth
published
a
strict
Proclamation
for
searching
out
,
apprehending
and
punishing
of
Seminaries
and
Iesuites
,
and
such
as
receiued
and
fauoured
them
in
England
,
sharpe
&
seuere
lawes
,
made
and
executed
vpon
them
,
and
further
both
to
put
feares
and
doubts
into
the
heads
of
the
Commons
,
as
also
to
exasperate
them
against
the
Spaniards
;
Farther
vrging
,
that
the
King
of
Spaine
,
his
great
power
,
forces
,
and
wealth
,
were
dangerous
to
England
,
possessing
more
Crownes
,
Kingdomes
,
and
countries
,
then
euer
any
Christian
Prince
had
before
,
and
yet
ambitiously
seeketh
more
,
endeauouring
to
make
himselfe
absolute
Monarch
of
the
world
,
and
that
his
cariage
towards
other
Princes
and
their
subiects
was
tyrannous
,
and
those
nations
which
he
subdued
,
were
cruelly
dealt
withall
,
and
kept
in
great
slauery
.
The
Papists
for
all
these
particulars
,
hane
collected
appologicall
defences
,
which
in
their
arguments
and
discourses
,
they
will
much
insist
vpon
,
to
the
high
commendations
of
the
Kings
of
Spaine
,
their
royall
and
gratious
proceedings
with
other
Princes
,
and
towards
their
subiects
,
as
also
with
their
owne
,
which
are
as
followeth
.
First
,
they
propose
and
recommend
it
to
consideration
;
For
the
conceaued
opinion
amongst
the
English
,
that
the
Kings
of
Spaine
,
their
gouernment
is
strict
,
or
rather
indeed
somewhat
cruell
,
the
maine
occasion
thereof
is
.
The
countries
,
dominions
,
and
territories
,
are
very
large
and
spacious
,
many
of
them
atchieued
by
conquest
,
formerly
gouerned
by
Roitelets
as
petty
Kings
,
and
now
inhabited
by
seuerall
nations
,
of
seuerall
natures
;
So
that
the
nature
,
necessitie
,
and
disposition
of
the
Kings
of
Spaine
their
affaires
requireth
;
that
they
must
carry
somewhat
a
harder
hand
in
their
gouernment
,
then
ordinarie
,
otherwise
they
cannot
secure
,
nor
make
good
their
plantations
,
nor
retaine
their
subiects
in
obedience
.
And
the
very
name
of
conquest
,
imports
violence
and
misery
,
and
is
of
so
harsh
a
sound
,
and
odious
in
nature
,
that
from
a
Nation
subdued
,
detractions
will
suppresse
all
commendations
a
Conquerour
shall
any
waies
deserue
;
Though
their
gouerning
of
such
like
subiects
may
be
particuler
,
yet
the
aspersion
in
that
kinde
will
runne
in
the
generall
,
and
a
long
time
(
as
it
were
)
in
discent
,
especially
amongst
malignant
dispositions
.
In
remote
parts
of
Kings
Dominions
where
the
gouernment
by
them
is
committed
to
subordinate
Officers
,
&
Commanders
,
sometimes
barbarous
and
in
humane
acts
,
may
be
done
by
them
,
&
the
common
people
,
which
Kings
in
their
nature
may
much
abhorre
and
detest
,
yet
for
the
same
in
their
honour
and
reputation
they
often
suffer
.
Then
they
further
alleage
,
that
the
Kings
of
Spaine
to
the
Turkes
,
Moores
,
and
such
like
Infidels
,
haue
beene
many
times
a
scourge
.
But
then
in
particular
,
with
the
Italians
,
Portugals
,
French
,
English
,
Scottish
,
and
Flemmish
,
their
dealings
with
them
,
to
haue
beene
most
honourable
,
quiet
,
iust
,
and
without
iniurie
offered
to
any
,
which
is
said
to
appeare
,
by
their
owne
testimonies
and
witnesses
,
also
of
many
Writers
.
For
the
warre
,
Hieromme
Francht
a
Genoes
that
was
present
,
and
wrot
the
storie
,
and
in
other
points
sheweth
himself
no
great
friend
to
Spaniards
;
yet
doth
he
so
iustifie
all
the
Kings
actions
,
in
these
affaires
,
euen
by
the
testimonie
of
the
Portugals
themselues
,
as
they
seeme
rather
ouer-scrupulous
then
onely
iustifiable
.
Then
there
is
further
cyted
Genebrard
a
French
Writer
,
that
setteth
out
the
King
of
Spaine
,
his
noble
proceedings
with
France
,
in
all
the
times
of
the
minorities
of
King
Henry
the
second
his
children
,
to
wit
,
Francis
,
Charles
and
Henry
the
third
,
and
how
he
neuer
sought
,
either
to
profit
himselfe
,
or
to
impaire
the
kingdome
of
France
during
those
troubles
,
and
thereupon
giueth
a
touch
by
way
of
taxe
,
for
the
taking
of
Newhauen
by
the
English
;
further
alleaging
,
that
the
King
of
Spaine
at
his
owne
charges
,
sent
aides
of
men
,
horse
,
victuals
,
and
money
often
times
to
the
succours
of
those
young
Princes
,
notwithstanding
the
old
enmities
and
emulation
,
betweene
those
two
Crownes
of
France
and
Spaine
,
and
the
cruell
warres
that
had
passed
betweene
them
many
yeares
.
And
maketh
further
relation
of
the
king
his
clement
proceeding
with
his
owne
subiects
,
that
rebelled
in
the
low
Countries
,
as
appeared
by
his
many
pardons
,
peaces
,
and
tollerations
made
with
them
:
his
liberall
and
noble
dealings
with
the
English
,
Irish
,
and
Scottish
,
especially
such
as
were
subiect
to
troubles
,
for
their
conscience
at
home
,
those
he
sustained
liberally
,
without
requiring
any
seruice
at
their
hands
.
And
lastly
for
the
great
wealth
,
forces
,
strength
,
For
the
manifestation
thereof
,
two
speciall
obseruations
worthy
of
note
haue
beene
collected
,
and
cited
,
the
first
after
that
interleaged
and
indissoluable
knot
of
amity
and
alyance
which
was
betweene
Henry
the
seauenth
,
Ferdinando
and
Isabella
,
King
and
Queene
of
Spaine
,
there
mutually
passed
betweene
them
,
many
Letters
congratulatory
,
amongst
which
,
there
came
Letters
from
Ferdinande
and
Isabella
,
signifying
the
finall
conquest
of
Granada
from
the
Moores
,
which
action
it selfe
so
worthy
,
King
Ferdinando
(
whose
manner
was
)
as
indeed
the
nature
is
,
neuer
to
lose
any
vertue
for
the
shewing
)
expressed
and
displayed
in
his
Leters
at
large
,
all
the
particularities
,
and
religious
punctures
and
ceremonies
,
that
were
obserued
in
the
reception
of
the
Citie
and
king
dome
;
shewing
amongst
other
things
,
that
the
King
would
not
by
any
meanes
in
person
enter
the
City
,
vntill
he
had
first
aloose
seene
the
Crosse
set
vp
vpon
the
greater
Tower
of
Granada
,
whereby
it
became
Christian
ground
:
That
likewise
,
before
lie
would
enter
,
he
did
homage
to
God
alone
,
pronouncing
by
an
Herauld
from
the
height
of
that
Tower
,

in

all
the
Nobles
,

of

at
the

of

,
made
a
speech
vnto
them
,
letting
them
know
that
they
were
assembled
in
that
consecrated
place
,
to
sing
vnto
God
a
new
song
;
for
that
(
said
he
)
these
many
yeares
the
Christians
haue
not
gained
new
ground
,
or
territorie
vpon
the
infidels
,
nor
enlarged
and
set
further
the
bounds
of
the
christian
world
:
But
this
is
now
done
by
the
pronenesse
&
deuotion
of
Feredinando
and
Isabella
,
King
and
Queene
of
Spaine
,
who
haue
(
to
their
immortall
honour
)
recouered
the
great
and
rich
kingdome
of
Granada
,
and
the
populous
and
mighty
citie
of
the
same
name
,
from
the
Moores
,
hauing
beene
in
possession
thereof
by
the
space
of
seauen
hundred
yeares
and
more
:
For
which
,
this
assembly
and
all
Christians
are
to
render
laud
and
thankes
to
God
,
and
to
celebrate
this
noble
act
of
the
King
of
Spaine
,
who
in
this
is
not
onely
victorious
,
but
Apostolicall
in
the
gaining
of
new
Prouinces
to
the
Christian
Faith
;
and
the
rather
,
for
that
this
victory
and
conquest
is
obtained
,
without
much
effusion
of
bloud
,
whereby
it
is
to
bohoped
,
that
there
shall
be
gained
,
not
onely
new
territories
,
but
infinite
soules
to
the
Church
of
Christ
,
whom
the
Almighty
(
as
it
seemes
)
would
haue
to
be
conuerted
.
Herewithall
,
he
did
relate
some
of
the
most
memorable
particulers
of
the
warre
and
victorie
;
and
after
his
speech
ended
,
the
whole
assembly
went
solemnly
in
procession
,
and
Te
Deum
was
sung
.
Then
for
the
other
particuler
obseruation
I
collected
and
cited
,
was
in
the
raigne
of
Philip
the
second
King
of
Spaine
,
here
formerly

And

Princes
,
as
well
for
matters
of

,
as

of
State
,
vpon
hope
of

aduantage
,
he
assembled
a
great
Army
of
Gallies
,
presuming
thereby
to
make
himselfe
Master

Our
Writers
affirme
,
Loe
here
you
see
the
King
of
Spaine
,
his
commendation
by
the
Papists
,
extended
to
the
height
;
with
some
taxe
of
the
late
Queene
Elizabeth
:
wherein
I
haue
beene
sparing
in
my
relation
,
to
that
they
will
speake
in
some
bitternesse
,
they
doe
therein
but
as
men
that
throwe
dust
against
the
winde
.
Her
Royall
worth
is
left
behinde
recorded
,
farre
more
durable
,
then
in
Letters
of
Br4asse
,
a
Princesse
of
blessed
fame
,
and
euerlasting
memory
:
to
write
of
her
commendation
,
any
thing
neere
in
proportion
to
her
deseruing
,
it
is
a
worke
for
excellent
Writers
.
They
may
in
that
faculty
excell
,
but
vpon
that
subiect
neuer
exceede
;
therefore
for
my
particuler
,
I
will
begin
,
and
conclude
both
together
,
she
had
euery
way
as
many
vertues
as
could
liue
,
and
more
then
could
dye
.
I
doe
not
here
reuine
,
nor
make
repetition
of
these
things
,
to
giue
farther
occasion
of
faction
;
but
rather
for
the
present
moderate
,
and
in
the
end
some
way
reconcile
,
and
reclaime
the
disaffections
of
the
common
people
,
presuming
they
will
produce
no
other
effects
,
as
when
the
Country
people
,
especially
those
affected
to
Papistry
,
shall
vnderstand
,
and
take
into
their
considerations
,
former
passages
,
and
then
being
not
so
peremptory
,
and
confident
,
as
now
they
are
to
crosse
,
greeue
,
and
agrauate
against
those
(
that
in
respect
of
religion
)
in
their
affections
,
haue
beene
somewhat
vnwilling
for
our
Princes
Royall
match
:
I
presume
it
cannot
but
rather
farther
moderation
and
community
,
then
otherwise
.
The
Papists
did
not
obserue
,
or
at
least
doe
not
desire
it
should
,
that
though
the
King
of
Spame
did
often
denie
to
afford
succours
to
the
Irish
Rebels
:
yet
at
the
last
(
as
by
their
owne
collections
appeare
)
did
winke
and
say
nothing
,
when
Doctor
Saunders
and
Sega
,
the
one
going
ouer
into
Ireland
in
person
,
the
other
sending
forces
thither
:
so
that
Queene
Elizabeth
,
her
succouring
those
in
Flaunders
,
which
the
King
of
Spaine
held
Rebels
,
she
did
no
more
then
he
did
,
but
onely
the
difference
was
,
she
wont
roundly
and
resolutely
on
,
and
the
King
of
Spaine
somewhat
reserued
,
and
priuately
:
And
the
monies
taken
from
Duke
Alua
,
and
other
rich
prizes
brought
in
,
by
Hawkins
,
Frobisher
,
Drake
,
and
Cauendish
,
they
were
onely
to
pay
the
Souldiers
.
Queene
Elizabeth
was
of
such
a
gracious
&
Royall
disposition
,
she
could
not
endure
but
to
haue
her
Souldiers
payde
the
money
should
haue
payde
Duke
Alua
his
Souldiers
:
but
it
payde
them
that
fought
against
him
,
so
that
it
was
but
misimployed
.
The
king
of
Spaine
doubtlesse
was
desirous
to
haue
continued
his
league
with
England
,
whereof
he
made
many
good
demonstrations
:
therefore
I
could
wish
hee
should
not
loose
his
due
commendation
in
that
particular
:
But
it
seemed
hee
presumed
on
Queene
Elizabeths
patience
,
that
for
suffering
,
as
it
were
,
but
a
handfull
of
Souldiers
of
his
Subiects
,
to
goe
for
Ireland
,
to
assist
the
Rebels
there
,
thought
so
small
an
occasion
,
would
not
haue
broken
the
league
:
But
it
seemes
peace
long
before
,
was
laide
vp
,
that
it
became
a
dry
commodity
,
so
that
it
soone
tooke
fire
.
Then
for
the
Proclamation
,
vrged
against
Queene
Elizabeth
,
published
in
Nouember
1591.
with
the
seuere
lawes
then
made
,
and
executed
against
the
Papists
:
they
were
alwayes
plotting
,
conspiring
,
and
attempting
,
the
taking
away
her
life
;
those
lawes
were
but
like
a
good
and
skilfull
Phisician
,
that
drew
some
bloud
,
to
preserue
much
more
,
the
life
of
our
Soueraigne
,
and
indeede
the
life
and
light
of
the
Gospell
.
Tyrants
shed
bloud
for
pleasure
,
Princes
for
necessity
.
Let
the
proceedings
of
her
predecessor
,
be
put
into
the
other
balance
,
there
will
bee
found
great
difference
:
Wherefore
it
is
best
for
all
parties
,
either
wayes
affected
,
to
let
these
things
alone
vnreuiued
,
neither
weighed
,
nor
farther
discoursed
of
.
I
will
here
(
vnder
sauour
)
presume
to
adde
some
obseruations
,
which
may
some
way
moderate
the
disaffections
of
the
common
people
towards
the
Spaniards
,
concerning
those
particular
passages
before
mentioned
.
The
Pope
you
see
was
Author
,
though
hee
made
the
King
of
Spaine
Actor
,
for
the
breach
of
the
peace
,
as
being
too
much
led
by
the
Pope
,
which
was
no
extraordinary
thing
.
Let
vs
but
reade
our
English
Chronicles
,
wee
shall
there
finde
,
that
many
of
our
most
puissant
and
victorious
Kings
here
in
England
,
their
powers
and
prerogatiues
haue
beene
captiuated
by
the
Pope
,
and
some
by
them
brought
to
vntimely
ends
,
alwayes
working
vpon
them
,
and
the
indisposition
of
the
times
,
where
they
saw
,
either
a
weake
Prince
,
a
factious
Nobility
,
or
a
mutinous
Commons
;
by
their
directions
,
their
Legates
and
Clergie
would
be
alwayes
working
,
to
make
the
Pope
and
themselues
maisters
both
of
the
King
and
Kingdome
.
If
they
would
teach
Kings
truly
the
wayes
of
righteousnesse
,
let
God
alone
with
his
prouidence
,
&
Princes
with
their
inheritances
:
not
to
deuise
and
direct
stratagems
,
nor
be
so
violent
wheresoeuer
they
get
dominion
to
suppresse
the
Protestant
Religion
,
and
aduance
the
Romane
Catholique
,
it
would
bhee
a
most
blessed
happinesse
to
all
Christendome
.
Then
lastly
,
the
King
of
Spaine
his
attempt
in
88.
was
by
the
Popes
instigation
,
&
had
no
doubt
his
benediction
,
for
assurance
of
good
successe
therein
:
but
it
had
a
contrary
effect
,
brought
a
malediction
,
and
an
infausting
vpon
him
,
and
his
King
dome
,
as
an
ill
Prognostick
,
which
in
the
euent
proued
true
.
The
Spaniards
haue
no
cause
to
ioy
at
the
remembrance
thereof
;
the
English
onely
to
thanke
God
for
their
deliuerance
.
If
the
Spaniards
will
forget
and
passe
it
ouer
(
as
being
farre
the
greater
loosers
)
it
is
both
charity
and
religion
,
for
the
English
to
doe
the
like
.
And
the
rather
for
that
,
and
such
like
hostile
actions
,
passing
betweene
the
two
Nations
in
the
time
of
warre
:
and
now
in
peace
,
in
all
Christian
and
religious
considerations
,
enuie
,
and
hatred
,
should
haue
an
end
,
and
not
be
continued
.
States
are
subiect
to
the
wheele
;
times
haue
their
turnings
,
and
great
Princes
themselues
not
free
from
calumny
and
detraction
,
and
many
times
with
much
agrauation
therein
.
For
these
particulars
I
will
conclude
,
with
that
graue
and
sage
obseruation
,
of
Cornelius
Tacitus
,
that
free
tongued
Romane
,
that
wrote
,
they
made
it
a
custome
,
to
make
Kings
the
instruments
of
oppression
;
they
may
many
times
seeme
so
,
and
yet
they
themseues
of
a
most
gracious
and
Royall
disposition
.
Queene
Elizabeth
therein
not
second
to
any
,
and
yet
according
to
the
fate
,
and
fashion
of
great
princes
,
by
some
great
and
graue
Councellours
neere
about
her
,
and
by
some
that
could
thriue
onely
by
warre
;
she
was
much
swayed
and
ruled
,
which
she
thought
was
no
diminution
to
her
commendation
,
though
it
made
not
so
much
for
her
absolutenes
,
yet
it
seemed
she
held
it
the
more
for
her
safety
.
Let
vs
not
be
transported
with
passion
and
doubts
,
beyond
reason
,
good
ground
,
or
probability
;
the
Kings
and
Monarchies
of
England
,
in
their
whole
choise
of
wiues
made
from
all
parts
of
Europe
,
were
neuer
more
fortunate
,
and
happy
in
any
,
then
in
those
Royall
Queenes
,
which
they
had
from
Spaine
.
The
first
in
this
Scene
of
honour
,
shall
be
the
Royall
Queene
Elenor
,
wife
to
Edward
the
first
formerly
mentioned
:
what
was
shee
but
the
wonder
and
myracle
of
her
Sex
?
The
next
,
Queene
Katherine
,
wife
first
to
Prince
Arthur
,
afterwards
to
Henry
the
eight
;
shee
was
the
cleare
mirrour
,
and
example
of
wisedome
,
integrity
,
sanctity
,
and
all
Royall
and
Princely
vertues
;
in
all
which
she
was
farre
more
precious
and
excellent
,
being
so
tryed
as
she
was
,
with
the
touchstone
of
fortune
.
Constancia
,
Izabella
,
Beringaria
,
and
Ioanna
,
Spanish
Princes
,
all
these
were
proper
,
and
peculiar
to
our
English
Monarchy
:
our
owne
Chronicles
telleth
vs
no
otherwise
of
them
,
but
that
they
were
,
as
so
many
glorious
and
conspicuous
lights
of
matrimoniall
faith
,
loue
,
piety
,
and
chastity
.
And
lastly
,
King
Philip
the
second
,
that
married
Queene
Mary
,
our
own
Writers
leaues
him
to
posterity
,
highly
commended
.
So
that
for
those
Princes
;
that
we
haue
formerly
had
from
Spaine
;
England
hath
had
ioy
,
and
comfort
of
them
;
we
haue
loued
them
,
and
they
vs
.
Wherefore
should
we
now
so
much
doubt
,
and
feare
,
for
the
future
,
the
like
successe
?
vnlesse
we
will
conclude
,
our
dispositions
are
growne
worse
,
and
that
the
then
times
deserued
a
great
part
of
their
commendations
:
So
that
here
you
may
see
,
that
no
Nations
in
former
times
,
did
euer
more
faithfully
and
entirely
loue
each
another
,
or
were
in
more
straighter
leagues
,
and
bonds
of
friendship
vnited
together
,
then
the
English
and
Spaniards
,
vntill
by
the
late
warre
they
were
●●●oynted
.

The
greatest
happinesse
of
great
Kings
and
Princes
,
is
to
make
happy
their
Subiects
;
and
that
happinesse
on
each
,
is
esteemed
greatest
,
which
commeth
neerest
to
that
in
heanen
,
consisting
onely
in
the
eternity
of

:
then
consequently
those
Princes
must
be
deemed
most

who
doe

direct
their
Royall

,
and
endeuours
to
bring

of

some
of
our
neighbour
Nations
are
subiect
vnto
;

by
Gods

How
willing
,
desirous
,
and
obseruant
the
Spaniards
haue
beene
,
to
bee
in
peace
and
amity
with
vs
,
let
the
Reader
but
duly
consider
,
that
which
hath
beene
formerly
related
,
and
for
farther
satisfaction
,
to
an
ocular
experience
we
late
had
thereof
.
Spaine
,
Philip
the
third
,
instantly
sent
ouer
his
Ambassadours
,
sought
peace
at
his
hands
,
and
had
it
,
which
euer
since
hath
beene
religiously
,
nobly
&
muioable
kept
,
and
so
continued
his
sonne
now
King
of
Spaine
,
Philip
the
fourth
.
An
ouerture
of
marriage
long
time
in
treaty
for
our
now
Royall
Prince
Charles
,
with
the
Lady
Maria
,
daughter
of
the
said
Philip
the
third
,
by
him
much
desired
,
and
now
as
much
as
her
brother
Philip
the
fourth
,
(
as
it
is
generally
conceiued
)
that
those
two
Royall
Scepters
,
should
be
now
conioyned
in
the
sacred
knot
,
and
bond
of
marriage
,
thereby
to
strengthen
their
auncient
Alliances
,
and
make
a
perpetuall
league
,
and
indissoluble
confederation
of
blessed
peace
and
friendship
betwixt
them
.
Seeing
many
excellent
learned
men
,
meerely
out
of
zeale
,
and
some
others
wise
and
polliticke
in
the
affaires
of
State
,
that
are
true
louers
of
their
countrie
,
haue
written
and
spoken
freely
,
proposing
doubts
,
feares
,
and
dangers
that
may
come
and
ensue
to
England
with
the
mariage
with
Spaine
,
and
also
others
of
both
those
sorts
of
like
ranke
and
quality
(
only
in
religion
contrarily
affected
)
haue
written
,
and
will
speake
as
much
,
for
the
approbation
and
commendation
thereof
,
proposing
the
infinite
&
vnspeakable
good
,
the
match
may
be
to
the
Kingdome
of
England
.
Without
farther
intermedling
,
I
will
leaue
those
things
to
their
learnings
,
and
iudiciall
experiences
:
that
which
I
relate
,
may
be
as
materials
for
them
to
worke
on
,
and
is
intended
but
as
home
made
stuffe
for
the
Country
people
,
who
in
State
affaires
sees
no
farther
then
the
Rhine
,
and
many
of
them
wade
not
so
deepe
,
as
into
the
point
of
Religion
,
yet
in
their
affections
haue
beene
very
auerse
,
and
expressed
vnwillingnesse
,
for
our
Princes
Royall
match
:
I
would
herewithall
cloathe
,
or
at
least
someway
couer
their
bare
opinions
,
that
there
is
no
such
great
cause
of
feares
,
doubts
,
and
dangers
,
as
they
seeme
to
apprehend
,
though
the
Spaniards
were
lately
our
enemies
,
yet
aunciently
they
were
our
friends
,
and
seeme
to
desire
to
be
so
againe
,
to
liue
in
league
and
amity
with
vs
:
I
would
gladly
so
moderate
and
reclaime
the
disaffections
of
the
common
people
,
that
they
might
forget
and
remit
,
all
former
occasions
conceaued
of
distaste
,
and
not
in
their
affections
and
discourses
,
so
disobe
diently
mutinie
,
and
dispute
against
our
Soueraignes
high
commands
,
and
Royall
intentions
.
It
is
incident
for
men
so
to
doe
,
of
some
one
of
the
dispositions
following
.
A
kingdome
composed
of
men
of
diuers
humours
and
dispositions
,
whereof
some
doe
burne
in
hatred
,
some
busied
in
seditious
practises
,
some
distracted
with
factions
,
some
transported
with
dissentions
,
some
carried
headlong
with
furie
,
others
to
saue
themselues
from
some
punishment
they
haue
formerly
deserued
,
or
else
hauing
intangled
,
or
rather
prodigally
consumed
then
inheritance
(
Novandis
quam
gerendis
rebus
aptiores
)
rather
desiring
factions
and
disorders
,
then
to
haue
affaires
of
State
settled
,
as
knowing
they
can
receiue
no
benefit
,
by
the
well
settling
and
composure
thereof
,
as
the
sicke
disrelisheth
all
meates
whatsoeuer
:
so
distempered
dispositions
doe
all
passages
of
State
,
be
they
neuer
so
good
,
and
are
indeed
a
kinde
of
wilde
beasts
,
that
sometimes
brings
themselues
into
the
toyle
,
occasioning
the
vertues
and
loyalties
of
some
good
men
to
be
suspected
;
his
Maiestie
highly
discontented
,
and
the
subiect
thereby
infinitely
preiudiced
.
Both
of
the
Protestants
and
Papists
in
England
to
many
of
them
,
doe
perticipate
of
those
imperfections
,
such
indeed
as
are
drawne
from
the
Lees
of
each
Religion
.
First
for
the
Papists
;
some
of
them
are
growne
so
impetuous
,
vnbounden
,
and
vnlimmited
,
both
in
their
carriage
and
discourses
,
proposing
and
maintaining
dangerous
and
fearefull
positions
,
insolently
intimating
,
what
a
golden
time
they
now
shall
haue
:
these
things
doe
much
grieue
,
and
produce
great
feares
to
many
,
that
are
truly
religious
,
and
zealosly
affected
:
let
vs
not
doubt
,
but
that
by
Gods
grace
,
the
Kings
wisedome
and
integrity
,
they
shall
freely
enioy
that
happinesse
to
haue
quietnesse
,
and
contentment
in
their
courses
of
life
and
consciences
,
vntill
their
liues
end
,
when
many
of
those
Papists
(
who
in
respect
of
their
former
exploits
and
practises
haue
beene
found
very
dangerous
)
shall
haue
a
straighter
hand
carried
ouer
them
then
otherwise
.
Then
there
are
of
those
,
which
only
in
seeming
,
are
somewhat
more
then
Protestants
,
their
farther
discription
would
aske
a
long
discourse
,
which
I
will
omit
:
More
then
this
,
they
thinke
they
haue
much
knowledge
,
when
indeed
it
is
meere
ignorance
,
and
that
engenders
vehemency
,
and
vehemency
produceth
passion
:
then
with
true
,
sincere
,
and
regular
discipline
,
there
is
no
co-operation
.
His
Maiesty
hath
beene
pleased
to
denote
them
long
since
,
in
a
speech
he
made
,
in
his
higher
house
of
Parliament
,
as
saying
they
were
a
people
,
that
were
euer
discontented
with
the
present
gouernment
,
and
impatient
to
suffer
any
superioritie
;
which
maketh
their
sectvnable
to
be
suffered
,
in
any
well
gouerned
Common-wealth
:
many
of
them
thinke
they
cannot
misse
the
way
to
heauen
,
if
they
be
opposite
to
the
Pope
,
and
yet
in
another
way
will
meet
the
Papist
in
superstition
;
they
haue
so
much
talked
,
expostulated
of
our
Princes
Royall
match
,
and
in
their
dispositions
and
discourses
,
mutening
so
much
against
it
,
occasioning
many
to
doe
the
like
,
forecasting
and
seeming
to
foreknow
future
euents
,
preiudicating
dangers
,
both
for
religion
,
and
state
polliticke
of
the
kingdome
,
so
that
they
thereby
,
and
that
sort
of
Papists
before
mentioned
,
with
their
insolencie
and
boldnesse
,
haue
much
preiudiced
the
Common-wealth
,
amuzeth
the
countrie
people
;
making
them
stand
as
it
were
at
a
gaze
,
so
spending
their
time
;
buying
&
selling
,
&
all
dealings
in
the
countrie
,
more
then
for
victuals
and
clothes
,
are
much
out
of
vse
;
great
scarcitie
of
money
euery
where
complained
of
:
they
finde
by
wofull
experience
,
that
royall
Trading
and
commerce
are
much
decayed
,
and
our
money
which
was
wont
to
be
imployed
therein
,
is
now
conuerted
into
the
basterd
and
barren
imployment
of
Vsury
:
Lands
and
Rents
fallen
,
and
cloathing
failed
:
so
that
the
poore
in
that
course
,
neither
scarce
in
any
haue
beene
set
a
worke
:
whereby
they
haue
endured
the
extremity
of
hunger
,
of
all
extremities
the
extreamest
.
The
affaires
and
passages
amongst
men
,
doe
not
runne
so
smooth
as
they
were
wont
to
doe
;
all
cry
out
want
of
money
:
some
that
haue
it
,
sits
as
it
were
abrood
thereon
;
they
will
not
vent
nor
aduenture
it
,
as
saying
they
will
first
see
,
what
will
become
of
the
world
,
which
is
now
a
common
phrase
:
some
now
and
then
,
speaking
as
they
would
haue
it
,
as
saying
the
world
will
mend
:
the
reply
that
follows
is
;
Nay
it
will
be
worse
:
Yet
it
hath
pleased
God
,
out
of
his
infinite
goodnesse
and
mercy
so
to
deale
with
vs
,
(
God
giue
vs
grace
to
be
thankfull
)
that
for
our
enioying
the
fruits
of
the
earth
;
the
times
haue
beene
very
seasonable
,
and
we
haue
,
and
are
like
to
enioy
them
in
great
plenty
.
Yet
the
state
and
condition
we
doe
,
and
are
like
to
liue
in
onely
preiudicated
,
and
chiefly
by
our selues
occasioned
,
will
rather
be
miserable
then
happy
:
We
are
falling
into
the
latter
dayes
,
ignorance
and
heresie
striues
to
get
the
vpper
hand
.
It
is
said
that
God
aboue
all
men
,
doth
inspire
Kings
;
and
then
it
is
like
,
he
doth
and
will
inspire
great
Councellours
of
State
aboue
ordinary
men
;
therefore
let
vs
pray
vnto
God
,
they
may
consult
,
and
debate
of
the
reasons
,
worke
,
and
effect
the
remedies
.
I
am
now
come
neere
the
end
of
my
stage
,
though
some
man
of
better
ability
(
which
had
beene
farre
more
fitter
)
to
haue
vndertaken
this
work
,
I
am
consident
against
all
those
good
Wiues
formerly
mentioned
,
to
haue
come
from
Spaine
,
and
all
the
reasons
that
either
hath
or
can
be
alleaged
,
that
in
all
likelyhood
and
probability
,
the
match
may
be
happy
and
successefull
for
England
;
the
obiection
will
be
,
Exempla
illustrant
,
sed
non
probant
;
in
those
former
times
,
there
was
a
vniformity
of
Religion
,
so
that
now
the
difference
therein
,
is
the
onely
stone
of
offence
,
and
the
maine
occasion
conceaued
of
the
feares
and
doubts
of
dangers
may
ensue
,
as
well
to
the
Church
reformed
,
as
to
the
polliticke
,
and
state
affaires
of
the
kingdome
.
I
must
ingenuously
confesse
,
my
home-bred
imaginations
did
fly
with
the
flocke
:
I
am
no
Courtier
,
(
of
whom
there
be
too
many
)
that
vpon
the
shift
of
euery
King
or
Princes
mariage
,
doe
please
themselues
with
some
probable
proiect
of
preferment
,
before
all
other
respects
or
considerations
whatsoeuer
.
I
doe
not
yet
much
ioy
at
the
match
,
nor
should
sorrow
if
it
should
not
be
:
onely
in
point
of
religion
,
I
will
pray
vnto
God
,
and
hope
,
we
may
haue
cause
to
ioy
thereat
hereafter
;
in
the
meane
time
I
will
not
further
trouble
my selfe
,
as
being
not
the
dutie
of
subiects
,
to
intermeddle
,
or
busie
themselues
with
the
actions
of
their
King
;
neither
in
their
dispositions
and
discourses
,
to
mutiny
against
the
match
,
if
his
Maiestie
and
our
hopefull
Prince
shall
be
pleased
to
proceed
therein
:
all
that
we
haue
to
do
is
only
to
obey
,
and
pray
to
God
to
direct
all
things
for
the
best
,
relying
on
his
prouidence
,
the
Kings
wisdome
and
integrity
,
and
without
our
further
expostulations
,
to
let
his
Maiestie
and
his
Councell
alone
in
the
businesse
.
Certainly
God
will
be
glorified
,
and
whatsoeuer
man
doth
or
shall
determine
,
he
will
dispose
;
It
is
said
by
him
Kings
raigne
,
and
Princes
decree
Iustice
.
I
haue
to
my selfe
both
grounded
and
collected
some
particular
considerations
,
which
giues
me
confidence
and
reall
satisfaction
,
that
there
is
no
such
cause
of
doubts
and
dangers
,
for
the
Protestant
religion
,
or
state
polliticke
of
the
kingdome
,
as
is
generally
feared
;
Which
collections
,
I
will
here
in
my
conclusion
relate
,
onely
inuiting
vnto
them
my
countrie
neighbours
and
friends
:
and
doe
therein
according
to
the
fashion
of
Feasters
,
wish
their
cheere
better
for
their
satisfaction
.
Though
the
eyes
of
humane
prouidence
,
cannot
see
beyond
that
Horizon
,
as
directly
to
discerne
future
contingents
;
yet
can
they
onely
iudge
,
what
seemes
fit
to
be
done
by
probabilitie
grounded
vpon
mature
consideration
and
profound
iudgement
:
therefore
let
vs
not
feare
nor
doubt
,
but
that
by
Gods
infinite
goodnesse
and
mercy
,
the
Kings
great
prouidence
,
iudgement
,
and
integrity
for
religion
,
there
will
be
a
gracious
,
royall
prouision
,
and
preseruation
made
.
Amongst
the
countrie
people
there
is
much
feare
and
doubt
conceiued
,
the
Pope
in
his
power
and
prerogatiue
,
being
so
predominant
bth
in
Spaine
,
and
with
other
forraine
Princes
,
by
them
as
Stales
we
may
be
drawne
into
that
net
.
The
King
,
that
doth
so
much
insist
vpon
his
prerogatiue
here
in
his
owne
kingdome
,
that
will
not
admit
any
dyminution
therein
;
that
he
should
now
giue
way
to
haue
it
subiected
to
such
a
dangerous
sorraine
power
;
there
is
no
manner
of
likelyhood
.
There
haue
beene
many
of
our
Kings
of
England
,
Calixti
the
next
succeeding
Pope
,
at
a
Councell
held
at
Remes
by
ecclesiasticall
sentence
,
caused
Henry
the
Emperour
to
be
declared
an
enemy
to
the
Church
,
and
degraded
him
of
his
Imperiall
dignity
.
The
King
of
England
,
seeing
this
Councell
was
held
in
France
,
composed
chiefly
of
the
Gallicane
Church
,
desirous
to
ouer-master
Louis
the
King
of
France
,
incenses
his
sonne
in
Law
the
Emperour
,
to
set
vpon
him
(
as
the
Popes
chiefe
piller
)
on
one
side
,
and
he
would
assaile
him
on
the
other
;
The
Emperour
easily
wrought
to
such
a
businesse
,
prepares
all
his
best
forces
:
the
King
of
England
doth
the
like
.
The
King
of
France
,
seeing
this
storme
comming
so
impetuously
vpon
him
,
wrought
so
with
the
princes
of
Germante
,
as
they
taking
into
their
consideration
,
the
future
mischiefe
of
a
warre
rashly
,
and
vnaduisedly
taken
,
with
the
importance
of
a
kinde
neighbourhood
,
aduised
the
Emperour
not
to
enter
thereinto
,
till
he
had
signified
to
the
King
of
France
the
causes
of
his
discontent
;
Whereupon
Embassadours
were
dispatched
to
the
King
of
France
,
who
answers
,
that
he
grieued
much
to
see
the
two
greatest
pillers
of
the
Church
thus
shaken
with
those
dissentions
,
which
might
hazzard
the
ruine
of
the
whole
Frame
;
that
he
was
a
friend
to
them
both
,
and
would
labour
and
endeauour
all
he
could
to
mediate
an
attonement
,
rather
then
adde
fewell
to
a
fire
too
fierce
already
,
which
he
desired
to
extinguish
for
the
good
and
quiet
of
Christendome
.
This
Ambassage
and
answer
so
tooke
,
that
the
Emperour
was
diuerted
from
his
former
resolution
,
and
was
glad
to
haue
Louis
a
mediator
of
the
accord
betweene
the
Pope
and
him
,
which
shortly
after
was
concluded
at
Wormes
,
for
the
Popes
aduantage
,
to
whom
the
Emperour
yeelds
vp
the
right
of
the
inuestitures
of
Bishops
and
other
benefices
.
The
King
of
England
expecting
great
matters
to
haue
risen
by
this
businesse
,
was
highly
displeased
,
being
so
disappointed
of
the
Emperours
assistance
;
proceedes
notwithstanding
in
his
intentions
against
Louis
.
Betweene
them
there
were
many
great
conflicts
,
with
the
expence
of
much
bloud
,
and
charges
,
(
which
is
the
onely
fruit
warre
affordeth
)
but
in
the
end
both
wearied
and
tyred
out
,
a
peace
was
concluded
.
Then
of
late
yeares
(
as
it
hath
beene
here
formerly
related
)
in
the
raigne
of
King
Philip
the
second
,
there
was
enmity
and
open
warres
betweene
Pope
Paul
and
the
Spaniard
.
The
Pope
besieged
and
confined
within
the
walls
of
Rome
by
Duke
Alua
;
relieued
by
the
French
King
,
yet
fell
from
him
,
and
reconciled
himselfe
to
the
Spaniard
,
as
to
the
stronger
side
.
That
the
Pope
cannot
erre
in
matter
of
faith
;
his
power
to
depose
Kings
,
and
dispose
of
Kingdomes
;
are
two
mayne
positions
the
Papists
holde
:
both
which
,
I
humbly
leaue
,
to
our
Diuines
to
deale
with
them
therein
.
But
for
those
two
particulars
here
now
mentioned
,
and
many
other
former
passages
of
the
Pope
,
the
vulgar
may
iudge
.
In
the
time
of
Queene
Elizabeth
;
did
familiarly
and
freely
giue
Bishopricks
in
Ireland
:
but
those
that
had
them
so
giuen
,
could
neuer
gaine
possession
.
Then
farther
,
there
can
be
no
such
feares
&
doubts
for
the
alteration
of
Religion
,
as
is
apprehended
,
if
we
take
into
consideration
these
particulars
following
:
First
,
we
hauing
a
well
ordered
and
well
gouerned
Kingdome
,
where
Religion
is
established
,
Rites
and
Ceremonies
ordained
,
and
by
a
long
vse
and
custome
receiued
and
confirmed
;
the
many
apparent
probabilities
of
the
Kings
integrity
,
the
many
rare
and
worthy
learned
men
that
are
in
the
Kingdome
considered
.
The
King
,
though
Prince-like
for
his
recreations
,
and
that
his
affections
haue
beene
caried
with
some
delights
and
pleasures
;
yet
hath
he
been
so
studious
,
that
he
is
learned
beyond
expectation
,
and
custome
of
great
Princes
:
and
for
his
integrity
,
it
is
of
fifty
seauen
yeares
growth
,
hath
made
thereof
many
religious
&
worthy
expressions
both
by
his
learned
works
,
and
words
,
and
indeede
hath
shot
such
arrowes
,
which
will
hang
in
the
sides
of
the
Romish
Religion
in
after
ages
,
as
he
is
Defender
of
the
Faith
by
title
,
he
will
so
continue
in
truth
.
The
first
that
had
the
Title
,
was
Henry
the
eight
,
giuen
him
by
Pope
Leo
the
tenth
,
for
writing
against
Luther
.
After
his
conuersion
and
suppression
of
Popery
,
yet
retayned
he
that
stile
,
and
afterwards
during
the
raignes
of
Edward
the
sixth
,
the
late
famous
Queene
Elizabeth
,
and
our
now
Soueraigne
,
it
hath
beene
continued
,
and
doubtlesse
by
him
will
be
maintained
.
Amongst
many
his
worthy
expressions
of
himselfe
therein
in
one
of
his
workes
,
he
thus
declareth
:
that
it
is
one
of
the
principall
parts
of
the
duty
which
appertaines
to
a
Christian
King
,
to
protect
his
true
Church
within
his
owne
Dominions
:
to
extirpate
heresies
is
a
maxime
without
all
controuersies
.
In
which
respect
,
those
honourable
titles
of
Custos
,
Vindex
vtriusque
tabulae
,
keeper
and
reuenger
of
both
tables
of
the
law
,
and
Nutricius
Ecclesiae
,
nursing
Father
of
the
Church
,
doe
rightly
belong
to
euery
Emperour
,
King
,
and
Christian
Monarch
:
so
that
there
is
no
question
or
imagination
,
that
he
will
suffer
the
Religion
now
professed
,
to
come
vnder
the
Egiptian
seruitude
of
the
Pope
:
But
rather
will
be
like
a
goodly
Caedar
tree
,
of
full
growth
,
irremoueable
,
not
to
be
otherwise
,
or
other
where
set
or
planted
:
vnder
whom
his
Subiects
shall
sit
safe
and
protected
.
Our
hopefull
Prince
,
a
branch
thereof
,
will
be
of
the
like
kinde
,
affording
the
same
fruit
,
who
doubtlesse
will
now
be
the
more
precious
in
that
kinde
,
in
respect
of
his
late
trauell
and
triall
,
longed
for
the
sweet
comfort
,
and
preaching
of
the
Gospell
(
according
to
the
saying
of
the
Psalmist
)
euen
as
the
thirsty
Hart
did
for
the
watry
Brook
:
Though
he
hath
bin
amongst
the
Sirens
,
his
eares
would
admit
no
audience
:
a
sound
was
alwayes
in
them
,
as
if
hee
heard
his
religeous
Father
King
Iames
speaking
vnto
him
,
What
an
exceeding
great
comfort
and
ioy
may
we
take
to
see
his
willing
heart
,
and
ready
hand
to
receiue
the
Petitions
and
complaints
of
the
poore
distressed
Subiects
,
and
his
gracious
disposition
to
see
them
relieued
?
which
doubtlesse
will
occasion
the
whole
progression
of
his
life
,
to
bee
much
the
more
happy
and
prosperous
,
gaine
him
blessed
fame
,
and
euerlasting
memory
,
and
a
Crowne
of
glory
in
a
better
Kingdome
.
Positiuely
our
King
and
Prince
,
the
one
for
paternall
affection
,
the
other
for
filial
obedience
,
for
after
ages
may
be
worthy
patternes
.
That
by
the
Spanish
Lady
her
comming
ouer
,
the
Protestant
Religion
should
be
any
wayes
endangered
,
or
subiect
to
alteration
,
there
is
not
so
much
likelihood
,
as
probability
she
may
come
to
be
a
Protestant
,
for
these
reasons
following
:
the
effects
of
true
loue
are
great
,
and
the
rather
,
she
being
a
young
tender
Princesse
,
and
farre
from
her
owne
Country
and
friends
,
amongst
whom
she
hath
bin
bred
,
and
now
come
to
haue
others
new
,
and
liuing
in
their
companies
,
she
may
of
her
owne
accord
by
degrees
haue
her
affections
incorporated
amongst
them
;
borne
and
bred
amidst
the
pleasures
and
delights
of
the
Court
,
accustomed
to
Royall
Courtship
,
may
much
farther
it
.
Townes
before
they
yeeld
,
doe
vsually
parle
;
That
the
Lady
neither
can
nor
will
auoyde
,
and
then
hauing
so
pleasing
an
obiect
to
the
eye
,
and
so
Royall
an
affailant
in
such
a
person
as
our
hopefull
Prince
is
.
These
things
may
goe
neere
the
point
to
doe
it
:
Then
her
Ladies
and
Maydes
of
Honour
,
which
of
like
at
the
first
,
will
be
the
Cabinets
of
her
Councell
,
and
other
her
followers
,
though
Sermons
they
will
not
heare
,
yet
when
in
daily
discourses
they
shall
haue
such
siege
and
battery
laide
to
their
Romish
Religion
,
by
an
Army
of
reuerend
Bishops
,
Doctors
,
and
many
famous
learned
Preachers
in
that
kinde
,
the
whole
forces
of
our
Kingdomes
;
assuredly
it
will
rather
loose
ground
then
gaine
any
:
the
proper
nature
of
Religion
,
is
farre
sooner
to
be
perswaded
by
reason
,
then
forced
by
constraint
.
Those
are
the
two
things
that
Religion
stands
on
:
the
world
cannot
create
a
new
creature
,
be
it
neuer
so
little
:
So
no
law
of
man
,
nor
compulsion
can
make
a
good
Christian
in
heart
,
without
inward
grace
:
wherein
the
Minister
is
to
perswade
,
and
leaue
the
successe
to
God
.
More
famous
,
learned
,
and
worthier
men
,
no
age
euer
afforded
:
who
will
be
a
glory
to
the
age
:
The
King
,
and
they
,
as
the
Sunne
and
Moone
,
and
some
others
of
the
Clergie
,
as
lesser
Starres
will
make
perfection
of
light
,
though
they
contribute
somewhat
lesse
,
will
make
the
light
of
the
Gospell
in
the
course
and
manner
as
it
is
now
professed
,
shine
so
bright
,
that
it
shall
dimme
all
Romish
superstition
and
Idolatry
,
as
the
blessed
Sunne
doth
a
burning
Taper
:
and
there
shall
be
no
such
Curtaine
drawne
to
keepe
out
the
light
,
but
that
it
shall
shine
ouer
the
whole
face
of
the
earth
,
that
wee
shall
see
their
good
workes
,
and
bee
taught
by
them
to
glorifie
our
heauenly
Father
.
The
two
famous
Vniuersities
,
the
Spheares
from
whence
learning
,
and
so
consequently
the
true
knowledge
of
Religion
,
hath
his
motion
,
they
will
not
be
ecclipsed
.
Let
vs
be
confident
,
that
our
Iosuah
and
his
Clergie
being
of
his
house
,
will
professe
(
whatsoeuer
other
Nations
doe
)
hee
and
they
will
serue
the
Lord
.
If
any
of
the
Clergie
,
when
they
shall
come
to
the
touch
,
proue
not
right
(
as
peraduenture
some
of
them
may
not
;
)
it
will
be
said
of
them
,
Yee
children
of
Ierusalem
,
weepe
,
and
lament
,
that
for
want
of
courage
you
betray
your
Master
.
So
in
conclusion
,
wishing
the
countrie
people
,
from
henceforth
in
their
resolutions
would
be
satisfied
,
and
not
to
trouble
themselues
as
now
they
doe
,
in
their
expostulations
of
our
Princes
royall
match
,
nor
take
vpon
them
to
foreknow
and
preiudicate
,
that
dangers
may
ensue
,
either
for
matters
of
religion
or
gouernment
,
but
abandon
all
doubts
,
and
dispaire
of
those
things
,
and
rather
take
it
to
their
comforts
,
hopes
,
or
rather
indeed
assurances
,
that
all
those
things
formerly
related
,
will
rather
so
come
to
passe
then
otherwise
;
and
that
there
will
be
no
more
such
rubbes
in
the
passages
of
State
affaires
as
late
haue
beene
,
but
will
runne
smoothe
,
as
formerly
they
haue
done
,
and
all
dealings
and
passages
betweene
man
and
man
,
will
come
againe
into
their
course
and
current
,
and
the
Iron
age
we
haue
lately
liued
in
will
haue
an
end
,
which
may
be
the
beginning
of
a
golden
world
;
so
soone
as
it
shall
please
God
,
our
Princes
royall
match
be
once
setled
.
For
his
safe
returne
,
and
the
assurance
wee
haue
of
his
integritie
,
with
vnanimous
hearts
,
let
vs
giue
God
hearty
thankes
,
and
pray
that
his
mariage
may
bring
with
it
glory
to
him
on
high
,
peace
and
good
will
to
those
on
earth
,
and
all
happinesse
and
ioy
to
his
Highnesse
,
to
the
compleat
comfort
,
contentment
,
and
good
of
the
King
and
kingdome
,
and
to
Reigne
many
yeares
,
honouring
the
age
wee
now
liue
in
,
with
the
merits
of
their
wisedomes
and
integrities
;
and
finally
,
that
their
selicities
in
this
world
,
may
ouertake
that
in
the
next
,
and
make
them
weare
perpetuall
Crownes
of
Gods
glory
and
their
owne
,
and
that
successiuely
their
Royall
Progenies
may
sit
vpon
the
thrones
of
their
kingdomes
,
euen
to
the
worlds
end
