An
Oration
.
&c.
SUch
is
the
state
of
our
tymes
(
right
Honorable
and
beloued
)
that
whiles
euery
man
ordreth
himselfe
after
his
particuler
occasions
,
and
euery
man
plotteth
out
his
owne
purposes
to
the
pretence
of
his
calling
,
God
the
high
orderer
and
wise
disposer
of
all
things
,
looketh
downe
from
his
holy
seate
,
calleth
vnto
vs
&
expostulateth
with
vs
the
great
cause
of
our
ingratitude
towards
him
,
and
(
in
his
wonderfull
workes
as
it
were
)
doth
thus
say
vnto
vs
:
O
ye
men
of
the
earth
,
why
are
ye
so
earthly
?
Why
see
you
not
that
euen
in
these
earthly
descending
bodies
there
are
implanted
heauenly
ascending
myndes
,
wherewith
you
might
looke
vp
to
your
maker
and
giue
glorie
to
the
highest
?
Why
rather
drawe
you
downe
the
height
of
the
Spirite
to
the
basenesse
of
the
flesh
?
O
ye
vnthankfull
,
why
,
why
haue
you
so
abandoned
the
sence
of
your
Soules
and
the
feeling
of
your
Spirites
,
that
therewith
you
may
neither
contemplate
nor
consider
the
wonders
that
I
worke
,
the
wonders
I
say
,
which
I
your
Iehoua
in
whom
you
liue
and
haue
your
being
,
haue
wrought
&
brought
to
passe
as
this
daye
,
in
the
middest
of
your
land
and
habitations
?
Bretheren
and
friends
:
This
vii
.
daye
of
September
witnesseth
vnto
vs
that
there
is
a
Heauen
.
This
day
telleth
vs
there
is
a
God
:
This
day
,
I
meane
the
Birthday
of
our
Elizabeth
(
whome
the
highest
hath
vpholden
to
see
therein
the
approching
daye
that
chaungeth
the
yeere
of
her
most
happie
raigne
)
this
day
I
say
,
hath
offred
to
assure
our
sences
that
from
God
not
from
man
,
from
heauen
,
not
from
earth
,
hath
bene
our
defence
.
The
power
of
man
hath
bene
agaynst
vs
:
The
strength
of
the
earth
hath
attempted
to
inuade
vs
:
Princes
haue
conspyred
,
Nations
haue
combyned
,
Subiects
haue
become
Traytors
,
haue
rebelled
,
but
God
hath
protected
.
If
Princes
,
if
forrayne
Princes
haue
fretted
themselues
agaynst
vs
,
he
the
Iehoua
hath
tamed
them
.
If
they
haue
deuised
to
hurt
vs
,
he
hath
bridled
them
.
If
their
deuises
haue
bene
secrete
,
he
hath
reuealed
them
.
And
what
more
?
If
Princes
,
if
forrayne
Princes
haue
bene
wise
,
he
hath
made
vs
and
our
Prince
wiser
:
If
rich
,
our
riches
haue
not
bin
small
,
but
rather
haue
abounded
.
O
good
God
,
what
heart
can
behold
these
things
and
wonder
not
?
What
eye
can
looke
vpon
England
and
meruaile
not
?
But
what
English
Subiect
can
partake
these
so
rare
blessings
of
our
GOD
,
and
still
remayne
vnthankfull
?
By
what
heauie
iudgement
it
is
come
to
passe
that
men
enioying
so
great
and
so
manifolde
benefites
,
feele
them
not
,
or
feeling
them
,
are
so
grossely
blind
,
that
they
know
not
at
whose
hands
they
receiue
them
:
this
surely
,
to
me
is
so
straunge
and
intrycate
,
that
following
the
rule
of
reason
,
I
conceiue
it
not
:
Nay
,
Reason
is
therein
so
reasonlesse
,
that
Rule
it
yeeldeth
none
whereby
these
things
should
be
measured
or
the
misterie
therof
disclosed
.
If
wee
looke
vpon
the
Paganes
,
we
shall
see
how
vpon
euery
particuler
benefite
they
tooke
occasion
not
onely
to
fill
their
Temples
with
Sacrifices
,
and
to
adorne
their
Princes
with
tytles
,
but
also
to
promise
,
nay
,
in
truthe
to
performe
all
possible
obedience
to
their
lawes
,
and
that
in
such
sorte
,
I
meane
with
such
sinceritie
of
heart
and
aboundance
of
affection
,
as
I
protest
I
haue
bin
mooued
oftentymes
to
think
that
either
there
was
no
such
people
at
all
in
the
worlde
(
but
that
they
are
set
foorth
as
Ideaes
vnto
vs
,
what
by
their
patterne
we
should
bee
)
Or
if
there
were
any
such
,
that
the
people
of
this
Age
are
so
degenerate
from
the
vertues
and
imitation
of
that
Age
:
nay
rather
,
are
so
voyde
not
onely
of
all
godlinesse
and
good
graces
,
but
of
common
sence
and
vnderstanding
,
as
to
commemorate
the
present
blessings
of
our
GOD
,
that
by
meanes
of
her
Maiestie
they
●nioye
,
they
thinke
it
méere
foolishnesse
:
to
offer
vp
thankes
for
his
benefites
that
thus
they
continually
receyue
,
they
acompte
it
superfluous
:
but
to
frame
their
liues
to
the
dutyfull
obedience
of
Gods
or
mannes
good
lawes
,
they
detest
that
as
a
thraldome
and
seruitude
vnmeete
and
importable
.
What
shoulde
I
stande
longer
to
sette
forth
vnto
you
the
performance
of
these
or
the
like
of
the
premisses
in
the
worneoute
ages
,
the
Storyes
thereof
being
so
rife
,
as
that
no
man
almoste
of
any
quality
can
bee
ignorant
therein
?
What
in
explicable
ioye
brake
there
forth
throughout
all
the
Romaine
Empire
vpon
the
death
of
cruel
Domitian
and
the
succession
of
mild
Nerua
?
And
in
the
succession
;
(
from
good
to
better
)
of
Traiane
that
folowed
him
,
how
wonderfull
was
the
applause
of
all
the
people
and
the
conformitie
of
all
nations
to
the
obedience
of
his
gouernment
?
As
for
Antoninus
Pius
the
successor
of
Adrian
,
it
is
almost
incredible
how
the
people
,
not
of
Rome
only
,
but
of
the
whole
Empire
,
with
ioy
and
ardent
affection
,
continually
,
during
al
his
life
,
submytted
themselues
,
as
it
were
with
a
holy
deuotion
and
cherefull
alacritye
,
to
obay
in
all
thinges
whatsoeuer
that
holy
Emperour
shoulde
commaunde
them
.
I
will
not
speake
of
these
,
nor
of
Alexander
Seuerus
the
renowmed
Emperour
.
That
which
may
be
sayde
,
is
this
.
That
as
these
Emperours
were
(
no
doubte
)
for
theire
times
,
the
Lampes
of
the
worlde
:
So
the
people
and
Nations
whome
they
gouerned
,
were
so
thankfull
,
so
ioyfull
,
so
deuoute
in
obeying
them
,
so
carefull
to
please
them
,
so
heedefull
not
to
doe
any
thing
that
might
offende
them
:
as
truly
it
is
harde
to
saye
whither
the
worlde
were
then
more
happie
in
the
renowne
of
those
iuste
Emperours
,
or
those
Emperours
more
renowned
in
the
obedyence
of
that
good
people
.
But
I
will
lette
passe
these
examples
of
Paganes
,
and
will
turne
myself
to
that
one
only
example
in
the
tyme
of
Constantine
the
great
,
the
first
Christian
Emperour
of
the
worlde
,
I
meane
the
firste
that
publiquely
established
the
profession
of
Christianity
in
the
worlde
.
The
storie
by
Eusebius
is
thus
recorded
.
After
the
fierie
clowdes
of
persecution
raysed
by
the
tyrannies
of
Maximianus
,
Seuerus
,
Maxentius
,
Lycinius
,
and
the
rest
of
the
persecuting
Heathen
Emperours
were
dispersed
,
and
the
horrible
Seas
of
Paganishe
Idolatryes
were
euery
where
dryed
vp
,
the
Churche
being
then
prepared
by
that
holy
Emperor
Constantine
for
seruice
of
the
true
God
and
of
his
sonne
Iesus
Christ
:
Then
(
saith
the
storie
)
the
wished
and
desired
sightes
were
seene
of
vs
,
Euseb.
lib.
10.
ca.
3.
to
weete
,
the
celebrating
of
the
dedications
throughout
the
Citie
and
the
Consecrations
of
oratoryes
lately
buylded
,
the
meeting
of
Bishoppes
,
and
the
cominge
togither
of
them
,
which
being
farre
seuered
a
sonder
aboade
in
foreyne
Countryes
,
the
loue
of
Nation
towardes
Nation
,
the
knitting
togither
of
the
members
of
Christe
combyned
or
vnited
into
one
harmonie
,
so
that
according
to
the
foreshewing
of
the
Prophete
,
bone
was
ioyned
to
bone
and
ioynte
to
ioynte
&c.
And
after
wardes
in
the
same
storie
:
All
the
feare
of
them
by
whome
they
were
aforetime
oppressed
,
was
taken
away
and
wyped
from
of
the
face
of
the
earth
.
They
celebrated
solempne
and
royall
feastes
.
All
was
replenished
with
the
brighte
beames
of
ioy
and
gladnes
,
and
they
which
aforetime
full
sadly
beheld
eache
other
,
now
they
did
it
with
gladsome
countenaunce
and
cheereful
eyes
:
They
honored
before
all
things
the
supreame
King
;
the
God
of
Heauen
.
Nexte
to
him
,
the
godly
Emperour
with
songes
and
dawnses
throughoute
Townes
and
Countreyes
.
Moreouer
,
all
olde
Iniuryes
were
cleane
forgotten
,
neyther
was
there
mention
of
any
mannes
impiety
at
al
,
but
al
that
euery
man
stoade
vppon
,
was
the
enioyeing
of
present
prosperity
and
the
expectation
of
goodnes
to
come
.
Which
notable
example
as
an
Introduction
to
all
Christian
posterity
being
layd
before
vs
,
the
poynte
that
I
now
minde
to
sette
forth
vnto
you
is
made
manyfest
:
Namely
,
how
for
benefites
receyued
,
the
good
people
of
former
ages
haue
alwaies
bene
ioyfull
and
thanckfull
to
God
and
their
Princes
,
expressing
the
one
,
to
wete
,
their
ioye
,
by
the
solempnity
of
their
assemblyes
and
drawing
togither
for
the
praysinge
of
God
,
and
the
other
,
by
the
obedyence
of
their
liues
effectually
yeelded
,
as
might
more
at
large
be
handled
if
the
tyme
would
permitte
.
If
I
should
heare
drawe
you
to
the
consideration
of
the
people
of
Israell
,
Gods
owne
chosen
,
as
there
woulde
be
no
ende
in
the
viewe
of
Gods
mercyes
towardes
them
:
so
it
were
a
long
matter
to
deliuer
you
the
maner
and
greate
varieties
of
their
ioyes
and
thankesgiuing
for
the
same
.
The
Storyes
of
their
delyuerance
out
of
Egipte
,
out
of
the
redde
Sea
,
and
out
of
the
captiuityes
of
sondry
foreyne
Nations
,
doe
sette
forthe
the
one
and
the
other
expressely
and
fully
:
But
aboue
all
,
the
Psalmes
of
the
Royall
Prophet
Dauid
are
so
habundant
in
this
behalfe
,
that
neyther
olde
nor
younge
can
be
ignoraunt
thereof
.
I
haue
hitherto
but
summarily
considered
how
God
the
Author
and
disposer
of
all
thinges
,
for
his
benefites
bestowed
,
requireth
thankefulnes
at
the
handes
of
the
receiuers
,
and
is
grieued
and
highly
offended
when
he
seeth
his
graces
contemned
and
his
bowntie
not
regarded
.
It
hath
also
in
brief
béene
touched
what
thanckfulnes
hath
proceeded
euen
from
the
heathen
,
not
for
spyrituall
but
for
earthly
benefites
,
and
what
obedience
of
life
hath
ensewed
thereupon
.
And
amongste
Christians
though
not
of
the
firste
age
,
yet
of
the
firste
open
Countenaunce
and
appearing
of
the
Churches
enlarging
her
boundes
and
setling
her self
in
quiet
state
,
what
Ioye
,
what
thankesgiuing
,
what
reformation
of
life
in
all
sorts
hath
folowed
the
receyuing
of
the
mistery
of
our
faythe
and
the
firste
planting
of
the
open
profession
with
peaceable
possession
of
the
same
?
Now
then
,
if
it
maie
bee
sette
downe
and
manyfested
to
our
vnderstandinges
,
that
the
blessinges
which
our
Englishe
Nation
,
which
England
,
I
say
,
hath
receiued
at
the
hands
of
our
God
by
the
ministery
of
our
soueraigne
his
seruaunt
,
haue
not
bine
lesse
then
any
,
but
equiualent
with
the
moste
and
the
greatest
here
afore
:
Nay
,
if
we
Englishmen
in
the
viewe
therof
shall
be
able
to
saye
vnto
our selues
,
that
not
with
any
Nation
vnder
the
Cope
of
heauen
at
this
daye
,
God
hath
so
delt
as
with
vs
,
good
Lorde
,
what
should
folowe
hereupon
but
that
our
very
soules
shoulde
breake
forth
with
thankesgiuing
and
our
hartes
bee
for
euer
resolued
to
continewe
and
resounde
his
prayses
to
the
ende
of
our
liues
,
yea
if
we
coulde
(
as
we
hope
we
shall
)
without
ending
.
But
what
shall
I
beginne
with
Where
there
hath
kin
no
stinte
nor
measure
of
receiuing
,
how
can
there
be
any
entrance
or
choyse
of
begining
?
If
to
sette
forth
the
ioye
,
I
should
first
beginne
with
the
sorowe
that
ouerwhelmed
the
face
of
this
Land
:
If
to
sette
forth
the
blessing
I
should
beginne
(
as
I
may
say
)
with
the
curse
that
before
did
threaten
vs
.
Or
if
to
descipher
the
good
thinges
that
this
our
Elizabeth
our
souueraigne
brought
with
her
to
the
Crowne
of
England
,
I
should
first
delyuer
vnto
you
what
Seas
of
miseries
possessed
and
wel
neere
ouerflowed
this
little
but
moste
noble
Ilande
:
As
both
these
I
muste
needes
saye
,
in
opposition
were
not
vnneedfull
to
bee
spoken
of
:
so
yet
leaste
the
dilating
of
the
one
might
be
cause
of
the
abridging
of
the
other
,
I
will
for
the
helpe
of
a
iust
proportion
in
the
one
of
these
,
namely
,
in
the
Churches
persecution
,
praye
in
ayde
of
the
moste
famous
Historiographer
of
our
tyme
,
who
briefly
handling
the
miseries
that
imediatly
preceded
the
raigne
of
our
souueraigne
,
after
this
sorte
compendiously
reporteth
them
:
Now
(
sayeth
he
)
after
these
so
great
afflictions
falling
vppon
this
Realme
from
the
firste
beginninge
of
Queene
Maryes
raigne
,
wherein
so
many
men
,
women
and
Children
were
burned
,
so
many
imprisoned
and
in
prison
starued
,
dyuers
exiled
,
some
spoyled
of
goodes
and
possessions
,
a
great
number
dryuen
from
howse
and
home
,
so
many
weeping
eyes
,
so
many
sobbing
hartes
,
so
many
Children
made
fatherlesse
,
so
many
fathers
bereft
of
their
wiues
and
Children
,
so
many
vexed
in
Conseyence
,
and
diu●rs
against
Conscience
constrayned
to
recante
,
and
in
conclusion
,
neuer
a
good
man
almoste
but
suffred
something
during
the
tyme
of
this
bloody
persecution
:
After
all
this
(
sayeth
the
Historien
)
there
was
reste
to
the
persecuted
members
of
Christe
.
Thus
you
see
one
waye
,
what
an
heape
and
generall
deluge
of
wofull
miseries
had
pitifully
ouertaken
,
naye
rather
ouerwhelmed
a
chief
portion
of
this
Realme
of
England
,
I
meane
the
Churche
of
England
:
Religion
defaced
,
Godlynes
hated
,
Truth
oppressed
,
Trew
professors
persecuted
,
Persecution
blody
:
To
be
shorte
,
none
spared
,
all
pursued
euen
to
the
death
,
in
whome
there
was
any
Conscyence
of
the
Faythe
,
or
regarde
of
holy
profession
.
And
as
it
fared
with
the
Churche
of
England
,
so
alas
it
fared
with
the
common
wealth
of
Englande
.
The
lande
possessed
of
straungers
,
those
straungers
most
turbulent
,
most
prowde
,
moste
insolent
,
most
aspyring
,
and
(
as
Englande
and
the
bordering
peoples
about
vs
at
this
daye
,
haue
cause
to
saye
,
nay
rather
by
their
lamentable
experience
,
to
complaine
)
straungers
moste
cruell
,
moste
blodie
,
most
vnsufferable
:
as
by
whome
,
the
sweete
peace
of
this
Realme
was
so
interrupted
,
so
mangled
,
so
defaced
,
that
besides
the
daylie
and
continual
threatened
tumultes
at
home
,
our
welth
of
England
,
the
men
of
England
,
the
munition
and
forces
of
England
were
wholy
imploied
,
nay
constrayned
to
wait
vpon
the
wars
,
I
say
vpon
the
vnnecessary
warres
of
these
so
daungerous
strangers
,
yea
,
to
be
wasted
and
consumed
euen
about
the
quarelles
and
ambytions
of
these
so
pernytious
guests
:
so
that
trulie
,
it
was
then
,
and
is
yet
to
bee
affirmed
that
Englande
whiche
at
that
tyme
had
no
cause
of
warres
or
breach
of
league
with
other
Nations
,
was
enforced
or
rather
violentlie
haled
to
beare
armes
against
them
,
euen
against
Fraunce
(
if
I
may
speake
it
)
for
the
ambytious
seruice
of
Spayne
.
And
whiles
these
thinges
were
thus
sorted
,
whiles
men
,
money
,
munition
and
Armour
were
in
this
wise
expended
,
what
was
the
sequel
thereof
I
pray
you
?
what
was
the
prosperity
and
successe
of
the
same
?
Caleys
was
loste
,
Caleys
the
Kaye
of
England
:
Caleys
,
the
very
Doore
and
passage
into
France
:
Caleys
,
the
honour
of
this
Realme
and
the
ouerlooker
of
the
french
Nation
,
with
the
welth
and
habundance
of
England
,
which
216.
yeares
togither
had
bine
in
the
quiet
possession
of
England
:
I
saye
,
Caleys
,
with
all
this
,
altogither
,
all
at
one
instant
:
at
the
least
with
in
the
compasse
of
iiij
daies
,
was
miserablie
lost
and
vtterly
forgone
.
To
conclude
;
Caleys
being
lost
,
what
ensewed
thereupon
?
After
the
losse
of
Caleys
,
the
losse
of
all
securitie
and
freedome
,
the
losse
of
all
prosperity
and
welfare
came
russhing
vpon
this
lyttle
Iland
,
euen
as
it
had
bine
an
armed
man
vpon
him
that
is
naked
and
despoyled
of
comfort
.
Such
Impositions
,
suche
loanes
,
such
taxes
,
newe
Inuentions
and
deuises
to
drawe
away
the
remaynder
of
the
perticuler
welth
of
Englande
(
the
common
Treasury
thereof
being
wholly
exhausted
and
consumed
)
to
the
maintenaunce
of
the
vnprosperous
warres
of
Kinge
Philippe
,
as
surely
,
if
you
will
but
looke
into
the
Chronicles
of
that
tyme
,
you
shall
see
and
saye
that
if
God
of
his
myraculous
and
extraordinary
power
and
great
mercy
had
not
shortened
those
dayes
,
there
had
wanted
verie
lyttle
of
vtter
desolation
to
this
our
Countrey
,
this
,
I
saye
,
our
auntient
and
florishing
Country
of
England
then
,
euen
then
at
the
instant
to
fall
into
such
miserable
seruitude
and
bondage
as
all
those
Countreyes
are
oppressed
with
all
,
that
in
times
past
haue
bine
famous
Kingdomes
and
other
florishing
estates
and
are
now
languishing
and
spoyled
Prouinces
subdued
to
the
thraldome
of
the
Spanyards
.
But
of
all
that
euer
happened
,
or
which
in
those
dayes
was
deuised
,
suffred
,
or
neglected
against
the
safety
of
this
Realme
,
there
was
neuer
mischief
so
desperat
,
or
Treason
so
vile
,
or
villany
so
greate
or
so
deepe
,
as
was
the
platte
,
purpose
and
intention
to
make
away
and
destroye
the
sacred
persone
of
our
Elizabeth
,
now
our
happie
souueraigne
,
who
then
and
in
those
dayes
,
in
that
moste
myserable
and
perillous
tyme
,
was
reckened
and
accompted
(
as
spes
alit
miseros
)
the
onely
creatur
of
the
earth
,
by
whom
and
through
whom
God
had
reserued
vs
any
hope
of
restauration
,
or
comforte
of
recouerye
to
that
desolation
then
approching
.
This
then
shal
bee
sufficient
for
the
former
parte
of
my
present
purpose
,
namely
,
to
haue
touched
vnto
you
after
a
plaine
and
brief
manner
,
what
miseries
,
what
troubles
and
pitifull
calamities
occupied
the
whole
state
of
this
Realme
,
both
Churche
and
Comon
welth
,
at
such
tyme
as
our
moste
gratious
soueraigne
her
Maistie
that
now
is
,
tooke
vppon
her
the
possession
of
the
Crowne
thereof
:
at
such
tyme
I
saie
,
as
God
in
his
great
mercy
,
looked
vppon
vs
as
he
did
vpon
the
Israelites
in
Egipte
and
their
Captiuities
sending
vnto
vs
in
highe
tyme
,
this
his
holy
handmayden
,
as
it
were
another
Moses
,
(
saued
from
the
same
waters
of
affliction
that
wee
were
plunged
in
)
to
be
our
helper
,
&
aduanced
her
(
and
that
by
iust
tytle
)
to
the
Scepter
and
Dyadem
of
this
(
then
a
moste
wofull
)
Realme
,
whose
princely
persone
before
had
tasted
of
so
greate
daunger
,
that
the
verie
walles
doe
yet
recorde
her
dolefull
posie
,
sicut
ouis
&c.
The
God
of
heauen
whose
only
hand
was
then
and
yet
is
her
helper
and
ours
bee
for
euer
and
euer
extolled
and
the
name
of
his
mercy
be
neuer
forgotten
amongste
vs
.
But
now
,
when
I
should
rest
my selfe
in
the
performance
of
this
portion
,
namely
,
in
the
delyueraunce
from
thraldome
,
and
the
proclaiming
of
peace
to
the
whole
lande
:
outwarde
,
in
the
repose
of
the
Lande
,
inwarde
,
in
the
freedome
of
Conscience
:
whereas
from
the
woe
,
I
should
passe
on
to
the
welfare
,
and
from
the
mournfull
face
of
calamity
I
should
descend
or
rather
ascende
to
the
ioyfull
apparaunce
of
our
blessed
felicitye
:
miserably
,
Naye
deuilishly
,
nay
dampnably
am
I
interrupted
with
the
oppositions
of
Traytors
,
the
ouerthwartinges
of
Rebells
,
the
enchaunting
of
Witches
,
the
charmings
of
Sorcerers
,
the
presagings
and
foretellings
of
Sooth
sayers
,
the
seducings
of
Iesuites
and
Seminaries
,
the
conspyrings
of
domesticall
Hypocrites
and
Traitors
,
the
bandings
of
popish
foreyne
Princes
and
the
cursings
of
the
Pope
himselfe
that
Antychrist
most
accursed
.
What
should
I
say
?
Swéet
peace
had
no
sooner
discouered
the
bountye
of
her
glorious
face
,
and
the
blossomes
of
godly
tranquility
were
no
sooner
séen
sprouting
forth
to
the
gladding
of
the
harts
of
trew
Christians
,
but
presently
&
anon
these
Caterpillers
were
ingendred
,
presently
and
anone
these
Cockaatrices
were
hatched
,
presently
and
anone
these
Tyrantes
were
prouoked
,
yea
presently
and
anone
this
Antichriste
of
Rome
the
father
of
all
mischiefe
and
sonne
of
Perdition
was
furiously
enraged
:
so
that
now
I
saye
,
when
as
by
the
order
of
my
deuision
,
I
shoulde
speake
vnto
you
of
Ioye
and
of
nothing
else
but
ioye
,
these
enemies
of
our
ioye
and
these
enuiers
of
our
happines
(
as
much
as
in
them
lyeth
)
haue
so
ministred
matter
to
the
clogging
vp
of
my
passage
,
that
thereby
they
haue
interrupted
my
proceeding
,
and
not
a
lyttle
hindred
my
discourse
.
But
thancks
be
to
God
,
for
he
againe
of
his
aboundant
mercies
and
endlesse
fauour
hath
so
leuelled
my
way
by
the
ruin
of
their
inuentions
,
and
so
smoothed
my
passage
by
the
total
confusion
of
their
Stratagemmicall
platts
as
on
I
may
goe
,
and
on
I
will
goe
(
by
the
goodnes
of
God
and
your
attention
)
to
deliuer
vnto
you
some
taste
of
the
blessed
exchaunge
that
by
and
through
our
Elizabeth
hath
bin
wrought
and
brought
to
passe
within
this
lande
since
her
Maiesties
gouernment
.
And
to
begin
withall
:
what
greater
obiect
of
our
ioye
can
I
take
vnto
me
,
then
that
which
the
common
enemie
hath
intended
to
bee
the
matter
and
onelye
obiect
of
our
confusion
?
namely
and
especially
,
the
deuine
,
but
yet
expresse
and
visible
deliuerances
of
our
soueraigne
from
time
to
time
since
her
comming
to
the
Crowne
as
before
,
from
all
the
deuices
,
all
the
Treasons
and
all
and
euery
the
plats
,
practizes
and
attempts
whatsoeuer
,
murtherously
,
nay
,
traiterously
intended
against
her
royall
person
:
so
as
yet
in
sauety
shee
liueth
,
and
as
yet
,
(
to
the
eternall
prayses
of
our
omnypotent
God
)
she
sitteth
a
Queene
,
a
prepotent
Quéene
,
mighty
and
preuayling
,
I
saye
,
preuayling
againste
all
and
singuler
the
attempts
and
attemptates
that
eyther
haue
bine
or
are
at
this
present
,
within
the
Realme
or
without
,
at
home
or
abroade
.
And
that
longe
maie
shee
so
sitte
the
Lorde
of
his
glorious
mercie
graunte
we
beseeche
him
.
To
recken
vp
vnto
you
the
particulers
of
the
manifolde
discouered
attempts
against
her
maiestie
with
the
perticuler
ouerthrowes
of
the
same
since
her
firste
comming
to
the
Crowne
,
time
as
now
will
not
suffer
me
.
What
open
Rebellions
there
haue
bine
begonne
,
who
were
the
ringleaders
thereof
,
what
were
their
pretences
,
what
their
power
,
how
farre
they
proceded
,
and
in
what
sorte
they
were
stopped
(
and
that
for
the
moste
parte
)
without
effusion
of
bloode
,
and
finally
howe
and
in
what
maner
the
chiefe
attemptaes
therof
haue
bine
surprised
,
namely
,
and
notably
,
in
the
Rebellion
of
the
North
,
where
the
one
of
the
two
Leaders
was
putte
(
as
I
maie
saie
)
into
her
Maiesties
handes
to
receaue
the
due
rewarde
of
his
Treason
,
and
the
other
when
as
hee
thought
by
his
escape
out
of
the
Realme
,
to
haue
escaped
also
the
punishment
of
his
most
vile
and
trayterous
offence
,
was
by
the
iust
hande
of
God
taken
holde
of
,
and
euen
in
the
place
of
his
hoped
security
,
(
as
I
haue
heard
)
brought
to
penury
and
want
.
Againe
,
to
deliuer
vnto
you
how
oft
and
oft
,
and
euen
nowe
of
late
the
murthering
of
her
Maiesties
person
,
(
my
hart
trembleth
and
abhorreth
to
expresse
the
terme
)
and
the
deuesting
of
her
from
her
royall
possession
,
hath
not
onely
bene
contriued
,
but
euen
in
the
instant
also
dessigned
to
haue
bene
performed
:
By
whom
and
in
what
sorte
,
when
and
in
what
place
,
and
thereuppon
also
the
moste
miraculous
discoueries
therof
,
somtimes
by
the
parties
themselues
,
sometimes
by
the
discouerie
of
others
,
but
alwaies
and
from
time
to
time
by
the
extraordinary
and
very
expresse
hand
of
God
:
These
thinges
I
say
,
to
stand
vpon
them
in
discourse
,
&
to
reckon
vp
vnto
you
the
particulers
therof
so
far
foorth
as
to
vs
may
be
knowne
considering
the
time
is
well
spent
&
the
generall
knowledge
therof
is
rife
&
common
to
all
:
I
should
but
lengthen
the
time
therin
beyond
compasse
,
and
ouer
largely
presume
of
your
borrowed
patience
.
I
will
nowe
therefore
briefely
procéede
to
other
benefites
.
By
the
blessing
of
this
so
blessed
and
miraculous
preseruation
of
her
Maiesties
royall
person
,
howe
great
and
inestimable
the
blessinges
are
,
which
we
haue
receiued
and
doe
enioye
by
the
same
,
would
now
in
a
worde
be
considered
,
First
therfore
and
aboue
all
,
we
haue
and
enioy
by
her
Maiesty
,
the
most
glorious
of
all
glorious
Iewels
,
the
true
and
sincere
worde
of
God
,
with
the
free
,
open
,
and
vniuersall
preaching
and
professing
thereof
:
By
the
which
,
the
errors
of
mans
life
are
disclosed
,
the
affections
of
mankinde
relieued
,
the
knowledge
of
sin
procured
,
the
forgiuenes
of
sinne
proclaimed
,
and
againste
all
sin
and
errour
whatsoeuer
,
the
assurance
of
faith
ingendered
&
confirmed
,
as
by
the
which
and
through
the
which
,
come
death
,
come
life
,
come
what
wil
or
can
come
in
the
world
,
the
pledge
and
earnest
of
our
saluation
in
Christe
Ihesus
is
surely
setled
and
sealed
vp
in
our
soules
euen
vntill
the
day
of
Iesus
Christ
and
of
our
redemption
.
And
let
all
the
Justiciaries
of
workes
in
the
earth
magnifie
to
the
vttermost
of
their
power
and
skil
,
the
vertue
of
whatsoeuer
they
can
or
doe
blasphemously
imagine
to
be
propitiatory
for
sin
:
I
appeale
vnto
the
Consciences
of
al
that
haue
tasted
in
any
measure
of
the
good
word
of
God
and
how
swéete
the
lord
is
,
whether
one
dram
of
true
faith
in
Christ
his
death
and
bloodsheading
,
rightly
grounded
vppon
the
promise
of
his
word
(
this
worde
which
I
speake
of
)
be
or
haue
not
bin
found
vnto
them
more
auaileable
to
the
pacifying
of
their
afflicted
soules
and
consciences
,
then
any
thing
in
Heauen
or
earth
that
coulde
bee
offered
vnto
them
:
In
which
behalfe
I
will
require
no
further
witnesse
then
the
aduersaries
themselues
,
who
haue
bin
often
knowne
in
the
instant
of
their
death
,
to
haue
left
all
and
to
haue
flyne
onely
to
the
Lord
Iesus
,
estéeming
all
other
propitiations
to
be
helpelesse
and
vaine
.
And
thus
much
for
the
blessing
of
the
woorde
of
God
,
which
by
her
Maiesties
meanes
and
propugnation
wee
enioye
.
The
nexte
blessing
(
as
the
effecte
of
Faith
and
of
Gods
woorde
)
that
falleth
out
in
order
to
bee
spoken
to
,
is
worldly
and
externall
peace
.
From
which
well
vsed
,
springeth
plentie
.
And
where
the
abuse
of
these
hath
wrought
among
vs
,
namely
in
disordered
persons
,
Pride
and
dissolution
,
these
things
haue
notwithstanding
by
a
great
blessing
of
godly
gouernment
bin
so
moderated
with
such
mixture
of
those
foure
chiefe
and
cardinall
vertues
,
Prudence
,
Fortitude
,
Iustice
&
Clemencie
,
besides
all
other
Heroicall
vertues
shining
in
her
Maiesty
,
&
vpholding
vnto
vs
the
former
spirituall
and
temporall
blessinges
,
that
of
them
all
seuerally
both
I
should
and
would
haue
spoken
:
but
how
I
am
ouertaken
with
the
short
proportion
of
time
,
you
sée
and
I
perceaue
it
.
And
therefore
for
this
instant
(
drawing
to
a
conclusion
,
)
I
will
bende
my
speeche
(
and
that
but
in
fewe
)
to
the
domesticall
enemies
of
our
peace
,
I
meane
the
enemies
of
her
Maiestie
(
by
whom
God
hath
powred
all
those
blessings
vpon
vs
)
the
moste
peacefull
milde
and
gentle
Soueraigne
that
euer
raigned
in
this
lande
.
Against
which
enemies
me
,
thinkes
I
sée
how
euery
of
you
that
loue
Gods
truth
and
her
Maiesties
safety
,
doe
with
mee
euen
rowse
your selues
,
and
in
the
iust
indignation
of
your
minds
vpbraid
and
challenge
them
with
this
Expostulation
:
O
you
vnkinde
of
all
vnkinde
Subiectes
that
euer
were
,
(
but
why
shoulde
you
bee
called
Subiectes
,
who
as
one
truelye
saith
of
you
,
suppose
your selues
not
to
liue
vnder
her
Maiestie
as
Subiectes
,
but
to
be
holden
as
Captiues
,
and
so
you
yéelde
her
a
seruile
and
involuntary
reuerence
)
you
englishe
Aliens
therefore
I
terme
you
,
you
Italienated
English
,
Tell
mee
I
praye
you
,
what
hath
your
english
Soueraigne
,
what
hath
our
gracious
Elizabeth
so
much
offended
you
,
except
your selues
be
the
cause
of
your
offence
?
Hath
she
dispossessed
you
of
your
goodes
?
Hath
shee
disinherited
you
of
your
landes
?
Hath
she
taken
from
you
your
dwellinges
?
Haue
you
sowed
and
she
reaped
?
Haue
you
planted
and
she
gathered
the
fruite
?
Doth
she
denie
you
the
protection
of
her
writtes
,
or
doe
you
not
enioye
the
benefite
of
her
lawes
?
Surely
surely
,
her
handes
,
yea
I
may
say
her
heart
(
moste
gracious
of
all
Princes
liuing
)
are
cleane
and
innocent
of
all
these
thinges
in
the
presence
of
the
Lorde
and
of
his
people
.
You
sowe
and
reape
the
croppe
,
you
plant
and
eate
the
fruite
:
You
builde
and
inhabite
the
houses
:
you
purchase
and
enioy
the
landes
.
What
is
it
,
what
is
it
amongst
the
faithfullest
Subiects
of
the
Realme
that
you
participate
not
with
equall
benefit
,
or
do
not
enioy
with
the
vtmost
freedom
of
a
Subiect
,
vnlesse
in
wilfull
maner
and
in
the
malice
of
your
heartes
you
will
depriue
your selues
of
the
same
.
O
good
god
,
and
will
you
yet
conspire
against
the
life
and
helth
of
so
benigne
and
merciful
a
Soueraigne
?
Wil
you
take
from
her
a
Crowne
,
will
you
deueste
from
her
a
dyadem
,
who
taketh
not
from
you
any
the
least
Iot
or
portion
of
your
possessions
?
O
harts
,
not
of
men
but
of
Tygres
:
O
handes
,
not
of
trewe
Subiects
to
defende
,
but
of
rancke
Traitors
to
destroie
:
O
broode
of
vipers
,
O
inhumane
,
o
pestylent
,
o
viperous
generation
.
Is
not
euen
the
Sexe
that
you
so
violentlie
conspire
againste
,
atender
Sexe
?
Is
not
the
person
whome
you
woulde
so
Traiterouslie
murther
,
vnto
this
your
Countrey
and
ours
,
a
Princely
Parent
?
Is
not
this
Parent
a
Queene
?
And
is
not
this
Queene
your
Queene
and
lawfull
Soueraigne
?
Hath
not
this
your
Soueraigne
&
ours
euen
to
this
day
,
bin
roially
and
really
,
iustly
&
fully
possessed
in
this
her
Kingdome
?
Hath
not
her
highnes
prosperously
raigned
?
Hath
not
al
the
Realme
(
except
your selues
onely
and
such
as
you
are
)
faithfullie
acknowledged
and
dutifullie
obaied
her
?
And
,
hath
not
god
himself
confirmed
and
established
,
yea
and
from
time
to
time
mightily
blessed
her
?
I
mighte
saie
more
:
Hath
not
this
your
Soueraigne
and
ours
the
moste
rare
ornaments
,
and
Princely
excellencies
that
euer
had
King
or
Queene
within
this
Realme
?
And
what
then
will
you
aunswere
me
?
Lette
me
reason
with
you
a
little
as
heretofore
you
haue
bin
reasoned
with
:
Tell
me
(
I
praie
you
)
to
conspire
againste
this
our
moste
gratious
soueraigne
,
is
it
as
if
you
conspired
againste
an
vsurper
,
a
Nero
,
a
Commodus
,
a
despoiler
of
his
people
and
Countrie
?
No
no
:
no
such
matter
,
but
a
Conspiracy
against
a
most
lawful
and
righteous
Prince
,
againste
our
Queene
Elizabeth
,
a
Prince
(
considering
the
infirmities
of
her
Sexe
)
so
farre
aboue
all
praises
,
as
Englande
had
neuer
a
more
happie
gouernour
among
al
that
haue
bine
Princes
of
this
lande
,
nor
whole
Christendome
matcheth
her
at
this
daie
.
And
to
auouche
these
thinges
in
particuler
:
looke
vpon
this
Ladie
,
beholde
this
your
owne
deere
Soueraigne
(
whome
you
woulde
destroie
)
withdrawe
your
sighte
I
instantlie
intreate
you
,
for
a
little
season
,
from
beholding
that
glorious
Hierarchie
of
Rome
and
from
fixing
your
eyes
to
deepelie
vpon
the
partialities
of
foreyne
Princes
.
See
if
you
finde
not
in
this
your
Princely
Soueraigne
,
a
life
both
knowen
and
seene
to
be
voide
of
all
enormious
abuses
?
See
if
there
be
not
in
this
her
gratious
Maiesty
,
a
mirror
of
excelling
vertues
&
(
as
it
were
)
a
lodge
of
heauenly
graces
,
Constant
firmnes
,
innocent
hands
from
corruption
,
highe
equitie
,
clement
and
mercifull
behauiour
,
faithfulnes
of
minde
,
zeale
and
tender
harte
,
Princelie
Magnanimitie
,
and
in
briefe
,
a
nature
enritched
with
all
admirable
ornaments
of
deuine
and
heauenly
blessinges
?
And
touching
the
thing
you
would
most
of
al
beare
the
world
in
hande
with
,
to
the
deceauing
of
your
owne
soules
,
namely
,
with
the
note
of
seuere
execution
in
her
Maiestie
(
I
woulde
to
God
your
termes
were
no
worse
)
:
Take
an
accompte
of
the
multitudes
that
haue
offended
againste
her
royall
person
:
See
if
of
an
hundred
,
ten
haue
bin
taken
holde
off
:
If
often
that
haue
beene
brought
to
tryall
,
three
haue
receaued
the
rewarde
of
their
offence
?
And
albeit
vppon
tenne
or
moe
at
anye
one
time
vppon
high
and
daungerous
respectes
,
Execution
hath
bin
done
,
Yet
way
therwithall
,
how
manie
participants
haue
escaped
,
howe
fewe
familiers
haue
beene
sifted
,
and
how
greate
and
heinous
purposes
haue
beene
lefte
without
prosecution
,
and
in
a
manner
wholy
past
ouer
.
The
good
Emperour
Nerua
,
as
pitifull
as
he
was
,
yet
when
he
felt
himself
but
touched
,
and
that
with
the
onely
contempt
of
his
Subiects
,
he
tooke
pen
in
hande
and
wrote
this
reuengefull
Poesie
to
Traiane
that
shoulde
succeede
him
;
Phoebe
,
tuis
telis
,
lachrimas
vlciscere
nostras
.
And
the
holie
Emperour
Constantine
,
as
milde
as
hee
was
,
&
as
zealous
in
Christian
profession
,
yet
when
he
saw
the
tirannous
behauiour
of
Licinnius
likewise
a
crowned
Emperour
,
with
him
,
I
say
of
Licinnius
his
copartner
in
the
Empire
and
his
brother
in
lawe
,
as
hauing
maried
his
Sister
Constantia
:
Firste
vppon
the
taking
of
him
at
Chrisopolis
a
Cittie
of
Bithynia
,
he
deposed
him
from
the
Crowne
enioyning
him
to
leade
a
priuate
life
in
Thessalonica
:
And
afterwardes
when
as
hee
saw
the
same
Licinnius
to
endeuour
by
fighting
to
reuenge
his
former
foyle
,
he
commaunded
that
he
should
be
put
to
death
,
and
so
he
was
with
the
good
conformitie
of
all
his
true
harted
Subiectes
and
people
.
But
touching
our
Elizabeth
:
the
whole
Realme
of
England
séeth
,
Nay
,
god
himselfe
witnesseth
that
for
the
very
treasons
that
haue
bin
most
traiterously
intended
against
her
roial
person
,
Crowne
and
life
,
her
highnesse
hath
bin
more
seene
to
sorrow
the
ruine
of
the
offenders
,
yea
euen
of
those
Capitall
offenders
,
for
whose
cause
,
and
with
whose
consent
the
greatest
treasons
that
haue
bin
,
haue
bin
complotted
,
then
to
feare
or
be
dismaide
at
the
daylye
and
howrely
hazardes
of
her
owne
life
.
The
case
then
standing
thus
betweene
our
Prince
and
you
(
you
cruell
and
vnkinde
Englishe
)
that
as
on
the
one
parte
,
your
Treasons
haue
ouermatched
the
Treasons
of
all
Treasonfull
Subiects
that
euer
were
:
so
,
on
the
other
parte
,
her
highnes
compassion
hath
equalled
,
if
not
excelled
the
compassion
of
all
Princes
,
Chrstian
or
Heathen
:
What
can
there
be
possibly
alledged
on
your
behalfe
,
that
(
so
much
as
in
colour
)
may
serue
to
shrowde
the
deapth
of
your
disloyalty
?
If
you
will
nowe
saye
the
freedome
of
your
consciences
(
whereby
I
know
you
meane
the
free
vse
of
your
popish
Religion
)
is
the
matter
you
seeke
after
,
and
being
therof
restrained
,
you
are
thereuppon
thus
drawne
to
the
extremity
of
these
so
outragious
and
violent
attemptes
:
Good
Lord
,
and
can
it
bee
possible
that
any
profession
in
the
worlde
,
taking
vnto
it
the
name
and
tytle
of
religion
,
should
enable
the
professors
therof
to
arme
themselues
against
their
soueraigne
,
and
that
,
for
not
permitting
vnto
them
the
free
vse
of
a
contrary
Religion
?
Tell
me
(
you
religious
,
or
rather
Irreligious
professors
)
was
there
euer
anye
profession
of
Christianity
vnder
the
Heathen
and
persecuting
Emperours
,
which
by
anie
other
meanes
sought
to
preuaile
in
their
Religion
,
then
by
prayers
&
teares
?
Was
there
euer
any
resistance
in
the
primitiue
Church
other
then
by
preaching
or
open
professing
of
the
Truth
,
&
thervppon
,
by
yéelding
vp
the
body
to
persecution
?
True
it
is
that
Heretiques
(
and
none
but
Heretiques
)
haue
sought
to
preuaile
by
Stratagems
and
deuises
.
But
you
will
say
perhappes
(
for
what
is
it
you
will
not
saie
to
the
sclaunder
of
this
blessed
gouernment
?
)
that
her
Maiesties
lawes
made
for
the
ponishing
of
Recusants
,
are
so
sharpe
and
ouer
sharpe
for
the
tender
case
of
a
Religious
and
resolued
Conscience
,
that
hereupon
for
your
contentment
,
you
are
Religiously
and
resoluedly
drawen
to
the
participation
of
highe
and
moste
desperate
Treasons
.
Well
,
leauing
to
call
you
herein
to
the
consideration
of
these
her
Maiesties
lawes
(
which
you
so
terme
to
be
sharpe
and
ouer
sharpe
)
by
comparing
them
with
your
owne
burning
&
bloody
lawes
,
by
which
your
lawes
,
not
the
purse
but
the
persone
,
not
ponishing
but
destroying
,
not
of
olde
but
of
olde
and
yong
,
not
of
men
or
women
,
but
of
men
women
and
Children
,
yea
of
Infants
newly
borne
,
nay
(
I
might
saye
)
scarsely
borne
,
not
for
preaching
or
open
professing
,
but
for
belieuing
only
,
haue
bine
so
heauily
knowen
and
felte
within
this
lande
:
leauing
I
saye
,
to
deale
with
you
in
the
behalf
of
her
Maiesties
moste
godly
and
iuste
lawes
after
any
suche
sort
,
I
only
aske
of
you
a
question
or
two
and
so
I
will
leaue
you
.
Taking
view
of
her
Maiesties
dispensation
of
Iustice
from
the
begnining
of
her
raigne
hitherto
,
what
find
you
therein
(
allowing
vnto
her
highnes
her
soueraigne
power
to
establish
Religion
within
the
lande
)
what
find
you
I
say
therein
,
that
any
Subiect
of
any
Secte
or
profession
in
the
world
may
not
tollerate
and
indure
without
eyther
losse
or
hazard
of
life
or
of
liuing
?
Is
the
difference
of
opinion
in
matters
of
Religion
,
or
the
priuate
mistakinges
in
controuersies
of
Religion
,
in
any
,
of
what
sorte
or
qualitie
so
euer
,
(
not
participating
matter
of
treason
or
of
flat
recusancie
)
any
cause
to
him
or
them
to
feare
either
losse
of
life
,
or
impeachement
of
Honour
or
credite
,
be
it
eyther
in
office
or
in
dignitie
,
or
in
whatsoeuer
else
within
this
Realme
that
may
be
sayde
to
be
of
profite
or
countenance
vnto
the
same
?
I
suppose
no
:
Naye
,
you
your selues
muste
needes
aunswere
me
no.
Go
to
then
(
you
religious
Catholiques
,
or
rather
you
Catholique
Conspiratours
,
)
what
is
it
in
this
our
gouernment
that
makes
you
so
wayward
,
so
treasonfull
,
so
discontented
?
Would
you
haue
her
Maiestie
and
the
state
permitte
and
allowe
vnto
you
Churches
within
this
Realme
for
the
free
excercise
of
your
Popish
Religion
,
and
so
maintaine
two
religions
in
opposition
within
the
Lande
?
It
is
a
Prouerbe
of
greate
antiquitie
,
Multitudo
Imperatorum
,
Cariam
perdidit
.
And
I
would
aske
you
this
question
:
admitting
you
had
so
farre
preuailed
in
the
gracelesse
prosecution
of
some
daungerous
and
abortiue
Title
,
that
you
had
alreadie
brought
to
passe
to
aduaunce
within
this
Realme
,
a
banefull
companion
with
her
Maiestie
in
her
Kingdome
(
whiche
the
Lorde
for
euer
forbidde
)
saie
the
truth
herein
,
would
you
thincke
it
safe
that
these
two
thus
consorted
,
should
continewe
and
remaine
together
in
this
kinde
of
partnershippe
?
Cleerely
,
you
would
not
,
naie
,
you
coulde
not
.
And
feeling
the
mislike
thereof
,
is
it
not
apparant
to
the
world
,
which
of
these
too
you
would
soonest
and
spéediliest
remoue
?
Quisquis
amat
Ranam
,
Ranam
put
at
esse
Dianam
.
And
as
for
loue
and
Lordshippe
(
you
knowe
)
they
will
haue
no
felowshippe
:
Bassianus
the
bloodie
Tyrant
maie
not
long
endure
good
Geta
the
gentle
Caesar
,
no
,
though
Bassianus
might
enioie
more
then
half
the
Empire
for
his
share
.
And
stand
these
thinges
thus
(
you
Catholiques
)
in
the
consideration
of
earthly
Kingdomes
,
and
are
you
able
to
conceiue
that
in
this
kinde
of
gouernment
,
your
state
would
become
vnsafe
by
the
rule
of
two
Princes
atonce
,
the
one
altogither
different
from
the
other
in
conditions
?
And
alas
,
are
you
so
grosely
blinde
that
you
cannot
consider
the
like
respects
to
bee
in
the
Empire
and
Kingdome
of
Chrsst
?
Who
is
it
that
sayeth
that
Lighte
and
darcknes
canot
dwell
together
?
And
whose
saying
is
it
that
there
is
but
one
God
,
one
father
&
c
?
To
conclude
then
:
As
the
abhomination
&
detestation
hereof
would
bee
high
and
heinous
in
the
eyes
of
the
Lorde
,
so
no
doubte
,
the
euents
that
would
ensewe
therevpon
,
namely
,
by
displeasing
of
so
highe
a
Maiestie
,
could
be
no
lesse
in
effecte
,
then
the
totall
confusion
both
of
Prince
and
of
people
.
And
for
a
meane
sequel
of
permitting
the
vse
of
too
contrary
religions
,
take
the
Massacres
of
Fraunce
,
looke
into
them
,
waye
them
,
and
so
conclude
with
your selues
that
from
the
like
causes
,
the
like
effectes
would
speedily
fall
out
:
Nulla
namque
fides
affectus
eorum
,
quorum
est
diuersa
fides
.
I
hasten
to
an
ende
with
you
(
you
Catholiques
)
what
is
there
now
then
I
pray
you
,
that
may
further
be
thought
of
,
or
deuised
for
the
pacification
of
your
malcontented
stomackes
?
Would
you
wish
that
her
Maiestie
(
inasmuche
as
now
perhappes
,
you
are
ashamed
to
require
of
her
in
flatte
termes
,
to
abandon
her
owne
profession
for
the
aduauncement
of
yours
,
and
forasmuch
also
as
you
are
or
maie
bee
stopped
to
saie
there
is
sauetie
in
permitting
two
contrary
Religions
within
this
her
lande
:
would
you
now
wish
I
saie
,
that
her
highnes
contenting
herself
with
her
owne
particuler
choyse
in
Religion
,
and
that
,
for
her
owne
gratious
person
onely
,
should
establish
a
contrary
Religion
wholy
&
all-only
amongst
her
Subiects
?
Most
deuilish
would
that
be
to
be
wisshed
,
but
most
gracelesse
to
be
thought
that
euer
her
Maiestie
would
be
so
vnnaturally
enclined
towards
her
so
deere
and
louing
people
.
Hath
her
most
gratious
Maiesty
so
manie
yeres
in
the
highest
care
of
her
Subiects
sauety
(
and
that
,
chiefly
in
the
regarde
of
their
Soules
health
)
exposed
herself
to
perilles
beyond
the
compasse
and
proportion
of
mannes
accompt
,
and
hath
she
for
the
generall
mainteyning
of
the
Gospell
of
Christ
amongst
al
her
whole
people
throughout
her
dominions
,
from
yere
to
yere
,
nay
,
almost
from
moneth
to
moneth
,
endured
the
succession
of
so
many
,
so
horrible
,
so
determined
,
&
so
imminent
attempts
of
Treason
against
her
royall
persone
,
her
Crowne
,
her
life
:
and
would
she
now
(
think
you
)
be
so
satisfied
with
the
loue
of
her
Subiects
,
or
rather
with
louing
her
Subiects
(
whome
her
highnes
séeith
most
insatiable
in
the
loue
of
her
and
of
her
life
and
raigne
)
that
now
louing
,
or
rather
seeming
to
loue
her self
only
,
shee
should
so
highly
neglect
(
in
this
principall
degree
of
loue
and
care
)
the
sauety
of
the
Soules
of
her
so
louing
and
true
harted
people
?
The
lord
forbidde
there
should
be
any
so
wicked
as
in
this
sort
to
think
of
her
Maiestie
.
But
I
wil
abruptly
turne
my selfe
from
you
(
you
irreligious
of
the
land
)
for
you
haue
tourned
your selues
from
the
Lord
,
and
haue
lifted
vp
your
Hornes
againste
his
annoynted
your
Prince
and
Soueraigne
.
Not
I
therefore
,
but
the
Lorde
shall
further
expostulate
with
you
the
cause
of
your
Ingratitude
:
Of
which
sort
of
vnnaturall
english
,
I
hope
there
is
none
here
present
,
&
yet
this
spech
to
them
as
present
,
is
not
vnnecessarie
that
if
any
light
in
company
of
any
such
,
they
may
the
better
arme
them selues
in
thus
challenging
and
reprouing
them
.
And
now
to
you
my
louing
brethren
,
who
reioyce
to
see
the
daies
,
euen
this
present
daye
of
her
Maiesties
prosperity
and
Peace
:
The
chiefe
exhortation
I
haue
to
commend
vnto
you
,
is
the
same
of
the
Apostle
.
Reioyce
in
the
Lord
,
and
againe
I
saye
reioyce
:
Let
your
softnes
be
knowne
vnto
all
men
.
The
Lord
is
euen
at
hand
,
be
carefull
for
nothing
,
but
in
all
prayers
and
supplications
,
let
your
petitions
be
manifest
vnto
god
with
giuing
of
thanks
.
The
time
is
spent
and
it
is
more
then
time
I
had
ended
.
And
yet
if
I
durst
farther
presume
of
your
Honourable
and
worshipful
patience
,
I
would
speake
somthing
more
that
should
not
altogether
be
vnprofitable
for
your
hearing
:
and
sith
your
countenances
do
promise
me
attention
,
I
wil
go
to
it
as
briefly
as
I
can
.
For
as
much
as
it
standeth
cleere
vnto
the
view
of
the
whole
worlde
that
this
long
continued
peace
of
ours
with
all
the
other
blessings
whatsoeuer
wherewith
our
English
state
&
gouernment
hath
for
so
many
yeres
now
passed
,
bin
established
&
(
as
I
might
say
)
amply
enriched
,
hath
had
none
other
existencie
but
in
the
great
power
and
hand
of
our
God
,
openly
manifesting
it selfe
in
the
Ministery
of
her
Maiestie
and
of
her
prudent
and
most
faithfull
Counsailers
:
How
great
an
indignity
therefore
would
it
be
vnto
vs
the
Subiectes
of
this
Lande
,
if
that
whereas
her
Maiestie
with
her
most
honourable
priuie
Counsaile
,
euen
from
the
beginning
of
her
raigne
to
this
day
,
hath
gouerned
vs
by
none
other
rule
then
by
the
rule
of
Gods
most
holy
word
,
nor
by
any
other
lawe
then
by
the
lawe
of
this
lande
,
nor
by
any
other
order
or
manner
of
administration
then
as
maie
best
serue
to
sustayne
and
beare
vp
the
common
with
the
particuler
and
the
particuler
with
the
common
,
in
a
mutuall
regard
and
reciprocation
the
one
to
the
other
:
We
againe
for
our
partes
,
should
bee
so
farre
from
a
dutifull
acknowledgment
hereof
,
as
that
in
stead
of
our
readines
and
zeale
towards
her
Maiestie
and
those
her
most
honorable
Counsaylours
,
wee
should
yeeld
them
murmuring
and
repining
,
and
in
steade
of
our
thanckfulnes
wee
shoulde
yeeld
them
hard
speaking
,
misconceiuing
,
and
(
which
worse
is
)
bitter
detraction
.
O
my
brethren
,
howe
hard
a
case
would
this
be
?
And
least
any
man
being
misled
eyther
by
the
error
of
his
owne
iudgement
or
by
the
secrete
insinuation
of
the
malicious
malecontented
,
in
these
troblesome
times
(
and
yet
hitherto
,
thankes
be
to
God
,
more
troublesome
to
our
eares
then
to
our
eyes
)
when
as
they
see
that
by
the
déepe
foresight
of
our
graue
and
godly
gouernours
,
actions
are
otherwhiles
to
be
vndertaken
(
whether
it
be
for
repelling
and
resisting
of
knowne
attempts
,
or
for
the
holding
far
of
,
or
keeping
aloofe
from
vs
the
troubles
abroade
which
otherwise
woulde
approche
vs
,
)
and
that
for
the
performance
hereof
,
some
charge
more
then
ordinary
is
betwixt
while
to
be
raysed
:
They
either
little
considering
or
of
purpose
not
acknowledging
,
how
(
in
a
maner
)
miraculous
a
thing
it
is
that
while
the
whole
world
(
as
I
mighte
say
)
euen
the
kingdomes
,
and
Countries
rounde
about
vs
(
to
vs
a
worlde
)
stand
at
this
day
garboiled
and
oppressed
with
troubles
and
sturres
:
we
,
euen
we
alone
here
in
this
our
England
(
as
it
were
in
a
little
Goshen
)
neither
feeling
dint
of
sword
,
nor
hearing
sounde
of
droomme
,
nor
fearing
either
slaughter
or
depilation
of
the
oppressour
,
sit
vs
still
euery
man
in
his
owne
home
,
hauing
freedome
at
the
full
to
praise
God
in
his
Sanctuary
,
and
safety
at
the
full
to
follow
our
affaires
in
the
common
wealth
:
I
say
,
least
any
ignoraunt
or
seduced
Subiect
,
not
so
sufficiently
pondering
these
blessinges
as
he
ought
to
doe
(
and
as
I
would
to
God
euery
one
of
vs
did
)
should
in
the
vniust
discontentment
of
his
minde
,
eyther
murmure
and
repine
,
or
otherwise
speake
euill
of
such
as
be
in
authority
,
for
some
charge
that
may
happen
vnto
him
for
the
continuaunce
heereof
:
I
would
haue
such
a
one
to
be
taught
,
that
as
he
is
vnable
(
with
all
the
Substaunce
he
hath
)
to
procure
peace
vnto
himselfe
,
if
warre
should
come
vpon
him
:
So
to
preuent
war
is
not
the
wroke
of
a
Subiect
,
it
is
the
onely
worke
of
a
Soueraign
and
that
,
by
the
alone
deliberation
of
a
prudent
and
Honourable
Counsaile
,
(
which
may
often
fall
out
to
bee
with
the
very
purchase
of
peace
)
wherein
as
a
Subiect
standeth
no
further
interested
but
to
obey
,
&
to
be
ready
(
if
neede
be
)
with
body
&
goodes
:
So
how
much
greater
I
pray
you
,
shall
his
safety
be
in
obeying
,
then
if
he
should
repiningly
resist
(
if
so
to
doe
were
in
his
power
)
or
grudgingly
hinder
by
the
withholding
of
some
vsuall
contribution
,
the
good
that
might
be
deuised
vnto
him
?
Againe
,
how
foolish
a
thing
is
it
for
a
Subiect
to
thinke
that
when
as
the
very
being
of
a
Prince
,
doth
consist
in
the
hauing
of
Subiectes
,
and
the
hauing
of
Subiectes
weake
and
depressed
,
is
in
effect
not
to
haue
Subiects
:
It
would
be
safe
for
a
naturall
Prince
by
vnnecessary
impositions
laid
vpon
his
naturall
Subiectes
,
so
to
weaken
and
impouerish
them
,
as
howsoeuer
haply
they
might
retaine
the
hearts
of
true
Subiects
,
they
should
yet
in
the
power
and
hability
of
a
Subiect
,
be
vnfit
for
the
seruice
eyther
of
Prince
or
of
Countrey
?
And
wheras
it
may
fall
out
otherwhiles
,
that
for
the
procuring
of
Peace
,
warre
must
be
vndertaken
,
and
warre
cannot
be
vndertaken
(
with
any
hope
of
successe
)
without
large
prouisions
of
money
,
how
iniurious
woulde
that
Subiect
be
vnto
himselfe
,
if
whiles
he
would
seeme
to
bee
a
louer
of
Peace
and
a
hater
of
warre
,
he
should
by
the
fast
holding
of
that
he
hath
,
from
the
maintenance
of
a
necessary
warre
,
bring
warre
therby
vnto
his
doore
and
spoyle
vnto
his
cofers
?
And
because
herein
the
name
and
tytle
of
Peace
(
being
indeede
a
precious
thing
)
is
vsed
oftentimes
by
many
to
the
hinderance
of
necessary
warre
,
more
for
the
auoiding
of
charges
that
warre
bringeth
with
it
,
then
vpon
any
iust
or
reasonable
respect
:
Therefore
it
is
meete
this
lesson
be
learned
:
That
we
ought
not
to
thinke
those
charges
burdenous
vnto
vs
that
we
spend
and
imploy
for
our
owne
safety
,
but
rather
those
burdenous
,
which
we
are
sure
to
abide
if
we
shall
neglect
this
,
and
omit
to
deuise
to
keepe
our
Countrey
in
peace
by
assigning
of
portions
out
of
our
substance
in
time
,
for
the
defence
of
the
whole
.
But
admitting
againe
,
that
in
this
point
we
were
faultlesse
,
what
were
this
yet
to
the
purpose
,
if
together
with
our
monie
,
we
should
not
also
yeeld
our
good
&
honorable
spéeches
of
those
good
&
honorable
personages
,
who
eyther
abroade
or
at
home
,
haue
any
way
aduentured
themselues
for
our
safety
?
It
is
the
saying
of
Pericles
the
Athenian
Ruler
vpon
like
respect
:
If
when
that
happeneth
hardly
(
saith
he
)
which
you
looked
not
for
,
you
will
then
speake
euill
of
your
Rulers
,
Thucid.
lib.
2.
cap
9.
it
is
a
greate
vnright
that
you
doe
them
,
vnlesse
when
any
prosperity
happeneth
which
you
would
not
haue
thought
of
,
you
doe
likewise
attribute
the
same
vnto
them
.
Whereas
indeede
and
in
truth
,
both
Prosperity
and
aduersity
are
at
the
onely
disposition
of
the
highest
and
he
sendeth
the
one
and
the
other
as
best
pleaseth
his
diuine
Maiesty
to
dispose
it
.
And
this
(
Right
Honourable
and
beloued
)
is
that
part
of
my
speeche
wherewith
I
haue
presumed
(
after
your
great
wearines
)
to
detaine
you
.
Now
last
of
all
,
to
you
my
brethren
and
neighbors
the
Inhabitants
of
this
Towne
of
Windesor
:
If
it
be
an
vniuersall
benefite
farre
passing
other
temporall
b●nefites
,
euen
to
all
the
people
of
her
highnes
dominions
,
that
her
Maiestie
in
the
middest
of
these
euill
daies
,
sitteth
prosperously
and
peceably
in
the
seate
of
her
royall
Kingdome
,
preseruing
the
same
from
all
annoyance
,
to
the
no
lesse
admiration
then
highe
commendation
thereof
in
all
foreyne
Countries
:
Againe
,
if
not
only
the
participation
of
so
high
a
benefite
in
common
with
others
,
but
also
to
ourselues
ward
,
an
assured
hope
to
stand
free
from
her
Maiesties
displeasure
,
and
in
lieu
thereof
,
a
setled
perswation
of
her
Princely
fauour
towards
vs
be
now
seene
amongst
vs
by
meanes
of
her
gratious
presense
:
O
how
much
haue
wee
to
reioyse
,
and
in
the
Lorde
to
boast
,
we
I
say
,
the
Inhabitants
of
this
Burrowe
,
the
rather
,
for
that
,
whiles
many
thousands
of
her
Maiesties
deere
Subiects
can
onely
saie
and
speake
by
the
report
of
others
,
of
the
prosperous
health
of
their
most
naturall
and
louing
Prince
,
we
can
saie
and
see
the
same
to
our
vnspeakable
comfort
?
Whiles
others
doe
heare
her
Maiestie
(
I
must
saie
most
louingly
)
speaking
vnto
them
by
her
lawes
only
,
we
haue
not
only
the
fruition
of
her
Lawes
,
but
also
her
most
amyable
and
royal
persone
at
this
time
,
as
at
sondry
other
times
,
gratiously
speaking
vnto
vs
.
And
therefore
my
good
Brethren
and
my
dere
neighbours
,
let
vs
all
be
thankful
to
God
for
this
benefit
,
pray
for
the
continuaunce
thereof
:
And
in
our
prayers
forget
not
,
forget
not
least
we
proue
vnkinde
,
the
good
estate
of
that
Noble

To
the

and
harty
well

I
commend
his

And
of
great

,
to
the

protection
I
commend
the

of
