A
Watch-word
to
all
religious
,
and
true
hearted
English-men
.
IF
I
should
take
vpon
me
to
enter
into
the
enumeration
of
all
the
benefits
and
blessings
,
that
from
the
almightie
haue
been
powred
vpon
this
little
Island
of
England
,
by
,
and
vnder
the
gouernment
of
our
most
gratious
soueraigne
Lady
,
Queene
Elizabeth
;
I
might
both
forgetfully
lessen
the
number
too
farre
,
and
ignorantly
passe
ouer
many
things
notable
,
and
worthie
to
be
obserued
,
and
remembred
.
And
if
I
should
aduenture
to
aime
at
the
particular
iniuries
her
Highnesse
hath
receiued
from
forraine
malice
,
and
home
disloyaltie
;
and
the
particular
daungers
that
haue
followed
her
thereby
,
to
the
hazard
of
her
safetie
in
person
,
and
the
good
estate
of
her
whole
kingdome
;
I
might
gesse
at
very
many
,
and
come
short
of
the
number
;
&
I
might
point
at
very
great
wrongs
and
dangers
,
and
yet
misse
those
that
bee
farre
greater
.
And
therefore
for
the
benefits
we
haue
receiued
by
her
most
happie
entrance
to
sit
in
this
regall
seate
,
as
the
annoynted
of
God
,
to
bee
the
soueraigne
commander
vnder
him
,
ouer
vs
his
people
of
England
,
I
wil
onely
tye
my selfe
to
one
,
as
the
fountaine
and
well-spring
whence
all
the
rest
(
being
an
infinite
number
)
doe
issue
and
flow
.
And
for
the
iniuries
and
daungers
depending
thereupon
,
to
her
person
and
kingdome
,
I
will
tye
my selfe
to
no
number
,
but
aime
at
them
as
I
can
;
and
they
shall
be
such
all
,
as
from
which
also
doe
spring
whatsoeuer
hath
been
offered
,
or
intended
against
her
sacred
person
,
and
this
peaceable
,
and
flourishing
Common-wealth
.
It
is
not
vnknowne
to
many
yet
liuing
,
neither
can
it
be
altogether
hidden
from
the
yonger
sort
that
liue
with
them
,
what
a
darke
mistie
clowde
of
ignorance
(
which
brought
in
Popish
idolatrie
,
and
al
maner
of
superstition
)
did
ouer-shadow
the
whole
land
;
whereunto
was
added
,
and
wherewith
was
mixed
all
bloodie
and
sauage
crueltie
against
those
that
desired
knowledge
,
and
were
any
way
inlightened
(
by
Gods
grace
)
with
a
glimmering
,
or
small
insight
into
true
religion
.
For
though
it
were
but
only
a
desire
to
reade
vpon
the
holy
booke
of
God
,
either
the
old
,
or
new
Testament
;
then
Heretike
was
his
title
,
heresie
was
his
fault
;
and
for
this
was
he
called
before
the
Romish
Cleargie
,
to
receiue
their
censure
:
and
such
neuer
departed
from
their
clutches
,
till
they
had
branded
them
to
the
slaughter
.
But
because
the
Romish
synagogue
persecuting
Christ
in
his
members
,
may
maske
vnder
the
Iewish
vaile
persecuting
Christ
himselfe
,
who
thirsting
after
Christs
blood
,
yet
would
seeme
to
spill
no
blood
,
crying
,
It
is
not
lawfull
for
vs
to
put
any
man
to
death
:
therefore
the
ciuill
Magistrate
must
be
their
butcher
to
execute
their
bloodie
decree
,
and
to
the
stake
they
must
goe
to
be
consumed
with
fire
.
Of
this
their
blood-thirstie
humour
how
many
hundreds
haue
tasted
,
stories
doe
record
,
and
many
yet
liuing
can
in
parte
remember
.
In
these
dark
and
clowdy
daies
,
least
the
Sunne-shine
of
knowledge
should
disperse
the
mists
of
ignorance
,
and
giue
light
to
the
dimme
of
sight
,
whereby
they
might
be
able
to
discouer
the
iugling
and
falshood
,
which
in
that
time
of
darknes
they
vsed
;
this
position
was
set
down
for
their
Maxime
,
or
rule
infallible
,
that
Ignorance
is
the
mother
of
deuotion
:
And
that
sacred
worde
of
God
,
which
was
giuen
from
God
to
be
a
lanterne
to
all
our
feete
,
and
a
light
vnto
all
our
steps
,
was
forbidden
to
the
lay
sort
(
for
so
they
called
them
)
as
matter
vnfit
for
them
to
looke
into
.
By
which
meanes
they
kept
them
blind-fold
,
admitting
them
none
other
guides
but
themselues
,
being
as
starke
blinde
as
beetles
in
all
Christian
and
true
religion
:
and
when
the
blind
doe
leade
the
blind
,
both
are
in
hazard
to
fall
into
the
ditch
.
When
they
thus
had
setled
this
blinde
course
to
keepe
the
people
from
knowledge
,
and
had
deuised
to
fill
their
eyes
with
dumme
showes
to
gaze
vpon
,
and
their
cares
with
bare
sounds
of
wordes
,
farre
from
their
capacitie
to
reach
vnto
,
or
profitably
vnderstande
:
(
much
like
to
Caligula
,
who
bidding
many
guests
,
caused
to
be
set
before
them
golden
dishes
,
and
golden
cups
,
and
bad
them
eate
.
)
Then
they
offer
another
position
,
that
it
was
not
for
lay
men
to
meddle
with
matters
of
religion
,
that
belonged
wholly
and
only
(
as
a
priuiledge
)
to
the
Priests
;
thereby
making
them
secure
and
careles
of
God
,
and
all
godlines
.
Only
if
he
came
diligently
and
deuoutly
to
heare
Masse
,
and
once
a
yere
to
confesse
his
sinnes
to
his
ghostly
father
(
how
slenderly
so
euer
his
sayde
Confessor
were
furnished
with
gifts
of
the
holie
Ghost
in
himselfe
to
instruct
him
)
all
was
safe
:
and
he
that
so
did
,
was
reckoned
as
religious
a
man
(
secundum
vsum
Sacrum
)
as
could
be
wished
.
And
though
he
were
tainted
,
and
to
bee
taxed
with
the
grossest
sins
,
Rome
,
by
the
authoritie
from
their
Vicar
generall
,
had
a
tricke
to
hale
them
into
the
rabble
of
their
saints
,
and
so
to
canonize
him
;
as
wee
haue
example
of
Thomas
Becket
in
Henry
the
thirds
time
,
whose
treasons
to
his
Prince
were
apparant
and
manifest
:
and
yet
after
his
death
was
he
canonized
a
saint
by
the
Pope
,
and
an
holy
day
was
commanded
for
him
.
These
two
irreligious
and
prophane
grounds
being
layd
,
they
proceed
to
a
third
,
and
set
it
down
for
a
popish
ground
,
that
it
was
a
dangerous
and
deadly
sinne
for
any
man
to
disobey
the
Pope
,
and
his
Cleargie
,
in
any
of
their
orders
enioyned
and
commaunded
.
In
such
reuerence
and
regarde
must
he
and
all
his
Cleargy
be
had
,
that
the
meanest
Masse-priest
(
comming
with
authoritie
from
him
)
must
bee
obeyed
,
vnder
paine
of
damnation
;
though
he
command
that
which
is
blasphemous
before
God
in
Christians
,
or
disloyall
to
men
in
subiects
.
And
hauing
thus
made
an
open
passage
(
without
stop
)
to
the
marke
and
matter
he
aymed
at
,
and
so
hemmed
them
in
,
as
they
could
not
see
which
way
to
escape
danger
,
but
by
them
that
had
layd
the
snare
for
them
;
they
propound
vnto
them
a
meanes
of
deliuerie
from
all
daungers
,
(
euen
when
they
sinned
immediatly
against
God
)
which
is
,
A
pardon
from
his
holines
,
and
absolution
from
his
holy
priests
.
But
if
the
decrees
and
ordinances
of
their
Romish
synagogues
were
transgressed
,
hardly
any
mercie
was
to
bee
had
.
Thus
haue
you
the
blind
course
they
sought
to
breede
vs
in
,
by
debarring
vs
the
cleere
light
of
the
holy
written
word
of
God
,
and
the
carelesnes
they
sought
to
settle
in
vs
of
all
religion
,
by
making
it
a
thing
impertinent
to
vs
,
as
though
wee
had
no
soules
to
care
for
;
or
the
narrow
way
that
leadeth
to
saluation
were
so
easily
found
out
,
as
we
neede
no
light
to
guide
vs
,
or
no
furniture
to
arme
vs
with
defence
against
the
dangers
of
our
passing
.
And
yet
,
Search
the
scriptures
,
is
a
watch-word
to
all
that
desire
to
bee
the
seruants
of
God
:
and
,
Put
on
the
whole
armour
of
God
,
is
a
direction
to
all
the
true
children
of
God
here
vpon
earth
:
the
seuerall
parts
of
which
furniture
,
and
to
what
vse
all
of
it
must
serue
vs
,
you
shall
easily
finde
,
if
you
will
take
paines
to
looke
into
and
reade
the
place
.
And
further
you
fee
the
terrour
and
feare
they
cast
vpon
vs
,
if
we
offend
the
Pope
and
his
Massing
priests
:
and
then
the
end
is
,
our
absolution
and
pardon
must
come
from
themselues
,
which
mony
must
purchase
:
and
so
the
best
purse
(
by
their
rule
)
did
speed
best
in
their
religion
.
Yet
our
Sauiour
Christ
telleth
vs
,
that
It
is
as
easie
for
a
Camell
to
goe
through
the
eye
of
a
needle
,
as
for
a
rich
man
to
enter
into
the
kingdom
of
heauen
.
But
the
fattest
purses
are
fitter
for
the
Popish
synagogue
than
the
poore
in
spirit
.
And
yet
,
Blessed
are
the
poore
in
spirit
(
sayth
the
holie
Ghost
by
the
Euangelist
)
for
they
shall
see
God
.
And
,
Godlines
is
great
riches
(
sayth
the
Apostle
)
if
a
man
bee
content
with
that
he
hath
.
But
as
it
is
beyond
my
reach
to
decipher
and
disclose
all
the
grosse
corruptions
of
the
Romish
religion
:
so
it
is
no
part
of
my
meaning
to
search
curiouslie
into
them
;
they
are
already
(
through
Gods
fauour
and
goodnes
)
by
many
learned
,
more
sufficiently
handled
,
discouered
and
confuted
,
than
I
can
,
and
to
their
learned
workes
I
referre
you
;
I
onely
touch
those
few
,
that
by
these
you
may
see
the
blacke
darknes
and
grosse
ignorance
wee
were
brought
into
,
by
such
as
sought
more
their
owne
pompe
&
enriching
,
than
to
set
vs
in
the
right
way
to
sauing
health
and
saluation
,
of
which
they
sought
to
bereaue
vs
.
And
hauing
giuen
you
this
taste
of
those
miserable
times
,
and
dangerous
estate
we
were
brought
into
by
them
,
I
hasten
to
put
you
in
minde
of
our
most
blessed
,
and
happie
deliuerance
out
of
this
spirituall
pit
,
and
thraldome
of
Poperie
and
superstition
,
whereinto
we
were
deeply
plunged
:
for
which
wee
owe
all
dutifull
and
heartie
thankes
to
our
God
,
as
the
author
;
and
all
reuerence
,
loue
,
and
loyalty
to
our
most
gracious
Soueraigne
Ladie
Queene
Elizabeth
,
as
the
instrument
:
whose
perill
and
danger
,
before
she
came
to
that
abilitie
to
performe
this
holie
worke
amongst
vs
,
I
may
not
passe
ouer
.
For
by
Gods
goodnes
onely
and
wholly
she
was
preserued
,
her
life
being
malitiously
,
and
with
great
cunning
shot
at
by
the
Romish
Cleargie
,
then
in
place
of
credit
.
For
Gardiner
,
that
most
proude
and
bloodie
monster
,
left
no
corner
of
his
wit
vnsought
(
being
wise
enough
to
worke
mischiefe
)
but
set
all
his
skill
and
cunning
on
worke
to
shorten
her
dayes
,
and
to
preuent
her
(
by
bloodie
slaughter
of
her
sacred
person
)
from
euer
being
our
Queene
.
And
no
reach
of
man
can
yeeld
me
a
reason
of
her
deliuerance
,
but
the
mightie
God
in
power
,
and
most
rich
God
in
mercie
,
did
(
beyond
all
expectation
of
popish
malice
)
deliuer
her
from
many
dangers
,
and
preserue
her
,
to
free
vs
from
al
the
most
bitter
thraldome
of
this
Romish
Pharaoh
,
&
to
bring
vs
into
the
sweete
and
sincere
libertie
of
Christs
true
religion
and
Gospell
:
euen
as
hee
did
miraculously
preserue
Moses
(
being
destined
to
destruction
)
to
deliuer
his
people
of
Israell
from
the
miserable
taxes
and
torments
they
sustayned
vnder
the
Egyptiacall
Pharaoh
.
Thus
you
see
that
these
their
bloodie
practises
would
take
no
place
:
but
that
the
God
of
Israell
(
who
neuer
fayleth
his
)
hath
brought
this
his
religious
handmayden
,
our
deare
Soueraigne
,
to
the
royall
throne
of
this
flourishing
kingdome
:
and
,
by
her
happie
entrance
into
this
seate
of
gouernment
,
hath
banished
the
Popish
ordinances
and
decrees
,
which
held
vs
in
slauerie
of
conscience
:
and
in
stead
of
this
,
hath
brought
home
vnto
vs
the
cleere
Sunne-shining
light
of
his
glorious
Gospell
,
and
restored
vs
into
the
libertie
of
conscience
long
wished
for
,
and
often
prayed
for
by
all
his
Saints
and
children
.
He
hath
also
established
a
course
of
teaching
by
learned
ministers
and
pastors
,
by
whom
the
glad
tydings
of
saluation
is
pronounced
and
published
to
his
people
,
her
subiects
,
whereby
they
may
be
trayned
vp
in
all
true
knowledge
and
vnderstanding
.
And
surely
the
most
simple
now
may
learne
to
poynt
out
the
vanitie
of
that
superstitious
religion
,
which
was
sent
,
and
brought
to
vs
from
Rome
;
and
may
see
and
feele
how
sweet
the
Lord
Iesus
is
in
the
voyce
of
his
Gospell
:
which
is
a
blessing
that
many
haue
longed
for
,
and
haue
not
yet
attained
vnto
.
For
this
and
all
the
rest
we
owe
our
continuall
thankes
vnto
God
,
and
are
bound
(
euery
mothers
sonne
of
vs
)
to
pray
to
him
for
our
Soueraignes
life
and
raigne
long
to
continue
;
and
with
all
heartie
willingnes
to
shew
the
loyall
loue
of
our
hearts
to
her
Maiestie
,
by
yeelding
our
lands
,
goods
,
and
liues
,
to
be
sold
,
spent
,
and
hazarded
for
her
defence
.
For
of
how
much
more
precious
account
the
soule
is
than
the
body
,
of
so
much
greater
price
and
estimation
ought
wee
to
reckon
this
spirituall
deliuerance
out
of
this
spirituall
bondage
,
brought
vpon
vs
by
poperie
and
superstition
,
which
we
haue
obtayned
by
her
Maiesties
most
happy
entrance
,
and
enioying
this
seate
of
gouernment
;
in
which
I
pray
God
she
may
long
sit
,
to
his
glorie
,
the
quiet
&
profit
of
her
people
,
both
in
spirituall
and
earthly
things
,
and
the
euerlasting
comfort
to
her
owne
soule
and
conscience
.
But
when
this
our
deare
Soueraigne
Ladie
Queene
Elizabeth
was
fullie
possessed
of
this
her
princely
place
,
and
had
receiued
the
royall
Diademe
and
Crowne
,
with
the
applause
and
liking
of
al
true
hearted
Englishmen
,
both
Nobles
,
Cleargie
and
Commons
;
(
as
a
due
by
right
belonging
vnto
her
)
then
began
Sathan
to
rage
,
and
his
ministers
to
fret
and
chafe
;
in
so
much
as
euen
in
the
first
Parliament
holden
after
her
most
happie
coronation
,
Doctor
Story
,
that
blood-sucker
,
who
had
bathed
his
hands
in
the
blood
of
sundrie
Gods
saints
,
doubted
not
,
without
blushing
,
openly
in
that
most
honorable
Senate
and
Councell
,
to
bewaile
that
his
counsell
was
not
followed
;
and
that
they
had
omitted
the
right
course
of
stopping
vs
from
seeing
,
and
beholding
these
Halcyon
and
blessed
daies
;
which
he
sayd
to
bee
,
the
not
striking
at
the
roote
when
time
serued
;
meaning
,
the
not
bereauing
of
our
deare
Soueraigne
of
her
life
.
A
bloodie
speech
of
a
bloodie
traytor
,
who
would
not
conteine
to
vtter
out
the
poysonfull
conceiued
malice
of
his
heart
to
her
Maiestie
,
though
it
were
when
his
malice
could
not
reach
(
praised
be
God
)
to
doe
her
the
least
harme
.
In
this
arch-traytor
there
is
offered
a
most
notable
obseruation
of
Gods
iustice
and
iudgement
.
For
euen
this
Story
passing
ouer
the
seas
after
this
,
without
touch
,
and
there
exercising
his
lewd
wit
to
inuent
all
slaunders
against
her
Maiestie
,
and
the
whole
state
;
and
(
boyling
in
the
bloodie
malice
of
his
heart
)
did
burst
out
into
all
practises
that
he
could
,
whereby
to
disturbe
our
peace
,
and
to
indanger
her
person
;
it
pleased
our
God
to
assigne
the
time
when
he
shuld
enter
into
an
English
ship
,
deuoid
of
all
feare
to
bee
intrapped
,
and
without
all
hope
in
the
owner
of
the
ship
that
he
shuld
carrie
home
such
a
guest
.
Yet
finding
(
by
certaine
intelligence
)
whom
he
possessed
,
and
the
winde
(
by
Gods
prouidence
)
being
prosperous
to
take
way
for
England
,
hee
hoysed
vp
his
sayles
,
and
tarrieth
for
no
better
fraught
,
arriueth
with
good
speede
in
England
,
and
presenteth
this
his
merchandise
to
the
honorable
Lords
,
by
whom
hee
was
committed
to
the
place
most
fit
for
him
,
and
shortly
after
being
indicted
,
arreigned
,
found
guiltie
,
and
condemned
,
hee
receiued
his
iudgement
at
the
seate
of
iustice
,
and
was
executed
accordingly
,
as
he
had
well
deserued
,
at
Tyburne
:
and
so
may
they
al
speed
that
wish
to
Queene
Elizabeth
,
as
he
did
.
After
this
then
commeth
out
the
thundring
Bull
of
excommunication
against
her
Maiestie
,
and
her
whole
land
,
from
that
impious
Pope
Pius
Quintus
,
wherein
her
Maiestie
is
not
allowed
the
title
of
lawfull
and
rightfull
Queene
,
but
is
termed
The
pretended
Queene
of
England
;
and
all
her
subiects
are
absolued
from
the
oth
of
obedience
which
they
had
taken
,
and
by
right
is
due
from
them
vnto
her
.
And
from
this
Bull
bellowing
out
these
monstrous
sounds
,
as
out
of
another
Troian
horse
,
by
which
all
Troy
was
betrayed
)
all
the
troubles
,
rebellions
,
and
treasons
plotted
against
her
Maiestie
haue
proceeded
.
Hence
the
Northerne
Rebels
did
take
their
warrants
and
grounds
,
though
it
were
before
the
setting
of
it
vp
by
Felton
,
at
the
Bishop
of
Londons
gate
by
Paules
Church
,
as
shall
appeare
plainly
.
For
by
this
Bull
these
Rebels
thought
themselues
to
haue
a
strong
immunitie
and
freedome
from
all
daunger
,
when
such
a
plackard
was
published
from
Rome
:
and
therefore
doubted
not
to
become
traytors
to
their
Prince
,
betrayers
of
their
Countrie
,
and
to
offer
it
for
a
spoyle
to
forrenners
and
strangers
.
As
though
it
were
in
the
power
of
any
one
mortall
childe
of
man
to
dispose
of
kingdomes
,
to
depose
Princes
,
or
to
dispence
with
subiects
for
not
only
disobeying
,
but
rebelling
against
their
lawfull
Soueraignes
.
In
deed
that
worthie
Doctor
Saunders
,
the
Popes
Legate
,
to
comfort
the
Rebels
of
Ireland
,
doubteth
not
to
defend
this
Bull
of
excommunication
to
be
iust
and
lawfull
,
in
his
book
intituled
,
Of
the
visible
Monarchie
.
And
to
prooue
that
this
Bull
was
the
encourager
of
our
two
infortunate
Earles
,
Northumberland
and
Westmerland
,
to
take
armes
against
their
lawfull
Soueraigne
and
liege
Lady
.
This
Saunders
affirmeth
that
Doctor
Morton
was
sent
to
sollicite
such
English
Noble
men
as
he
could
,
that
Elizabeth
,
who
then
was
in
possession
of
the
Crowne
,
was
an
Heretike
,
and
for
that
cause
to
haue
fallen
from
al
dominion
&
power
,
and
that
she
may
be
had
,
or
reputed
of
them
as
an
Ethnicke
,
and
they
are
not
to
be
compelled
to
obey
her
lawes
and
commandements
.
A
noble
embasey
and
message
to
be
sent
from
a
Pope
,
very
fitting
for
his
fatherhood
;
and
this
olde
doting
Masse-priest
was
a
very
fit
ambassadour
for
his
turne
,
who
doted
so
much
vpon
his
Masse
and
Mattens
,
vpon
his
Dirges
&
Trentals
,
and
such
other
trash
(
whereunto
his
corrupt
heart
was
inclined
)
as
he
did
forget
how
farre
it
was
against
the
law
of
God
,
Nature
,
and
Nations
,
to
stir
subiects
to
rebell
against
their
rightfull
Soueraigne
:
and
he
was
so
besotted
with
his
holy
Dad
,
sitting
as
Peters
successour
in
his
pontisicalibus
at
Rome
,
as
neither
law
of
God
,
Nature
,
nor
Nations
,
could
withhold
him
from
satisfying
the
Popes
holines
,
in
this
his
vnholy
and
most
diuellish
direction
and
errand
;
far
contrary
to
our
Sauiour
Christs
direction
to
Peter
,
whom
he
commanded
to
put
vp
his
sword
into
his
sheath
.
And
if
it
were
reckoned
a
fault
in
Peter
to
strike
off
the
high
Priests
seruants
care
;
how
shall
it
not
be
a
fault
in
Peters
successor
to
strike
at
the
head
,
not
of
a
seruant
,
but
of
an
annoynted
Prince
,
onely
because
she
wil
not
forsake
Christ
and
obey
Antichrist
.
If
Doctor
Morton
had
neuer
read
so
farre
in
Gods
booke
;
or
had
liued
so
long
as
to
forget
that
he
had
read
;
the
Lord
from
heauen
commanding
this
to
all
men
on
earth
,
that
euery
soule
should
be
subiect
to
the
higher
powers
:
for
there
is
no
power
but
of
God
;
and
euery
power
is
ordeined
of
God
:
yet
hee
could
not
but
remember
himselfe
to
bee
an
English
man
borne
,
and
that
Queene
Elizabeth
was
the
rightfull
owner
,
and
possesser
of
the
Crowne
of
England
,
by
right
of
birth
,
by
right
of
inheritance
,
and
by
right
of
succession
:
and
therefore
by
the
law
of
Nature
,
and
Nations
,
there
was
obedience
and
loyaltie
due
vnto
her
from
him
.
But
he
was
so
bewitched
with
the
Popes
primacie
,
and
supreme
authoritie
ouer
kings
and
kingdoms
,
as
he
thought
the
Pope
might
depose
when
hee
would
,
and
dispose
Crownes
and
kingdomes
vpon
whom
he
would
;
as
if
he
had
quite
forgotten
himselfe
to
be
an
English
man
.
Whence
this
priuiledge
ouer
kings
and
kingdoms
should
come
vnto
this
proude
Priest
of
Rome
,
I
cannot
finde
,
vnlesse
he
fetcheth
it
from
that
spirit
,
that
brought
our
Sauiour
Christ
vnto
the
top
of
an
high
mountaine
,
shewing
him
all
the
kingdomes
of
the
world
,
and
the
glorie
of
them
,
and
sayd
,
All
these
will
I
giue
thee
,
if
thou
wilt
fall
downe
and
worship
mee
:
hauing
as
much
authoritie
to
dispose
of
them
,
as
Popes
haue
to
depose
Princes
.
But
you
see
what
was
committed
and
commaunded
to
this
doting
Doctor
Morton
by
the
Pope
;
and
how
faithfully
Morton
performed
his
faithles
errand
,
to
the
preiudice
of
his
Prince
,
and
danger
of
his
Countrie
.
I
wish
with
all
my
heart
the
two
Earles
had
been
more
wise
,
than
to
be
misled
by
so
wicked
a
messenger
;
and
more
loyall
,
than
to
bee
miscarried
into
rebellion
by
so
treasonable
a
message
.
Notwithstanding
they
so
embraced
the
messenger
,
and
so
farre
followed
the
direction
of
the
message
,
that
they
fell
into
flat
rebellion
,
and
marched
vnder
the
ensigne
of
trayterous
subiects
:
for
which
the
one
receiued
his
condigne
punishment
,
and
the
other
escaped
by
flying
,
remaining
a
fugitiue
from
his
Queene
and
countrie
,
and
not
daring
to
shew
his
face
in
his
owne
natiue
soyle
,
for
that
hee
had
disloyally
rebelled
against
the
one
,
and
vnnaturally
sought
the
destruction
of
the
other
.
I
finde
some
blushing
in
some
of
this
popish
crew
.
For
a
Romish
discourser
,
in
a
booke
published
,
and
printed
against
the
execution
of
Justice
in
England
for
maintenance
of
publike
peace
;
seemeth
to
wish
that
Saunders
and
Bristow
(
which
both
do
defend
,
and
maintain
the
Popes
Bull
against
Queene
Elizabeth
to
bee
lawfull
and
iust
)
had
spared
to
speake
so
much
in
defence
thereof
.
And
yet
he
doubteth
not
to
affirme
that
these
two
learned
men
,
of
great
zeale
and
excellencie
,
had
their
speciall
reasons
to
doe
so
;
which
he
will
neither
defend
nor
reproue
.
He
further
laboureth
to
smooth
ouer
this
fault
of
theirs
,
by
a
kinde
of
retractation
in
both
:
the
one
leauing
this
out
of
his
booke
in
his
second
edition
;
and
the
other
by
suppressing
to
his
liues
end
,
A
very
learned
booke
made
in
defence
of
Pius
Quintus
his
sentence
against
her
Maiestie
.
Marke
the
Epitheton
he
giueth
to
it
.
For
he
calleth
it
a
very
learned
booke
:
so
as
neither
his
reproofe
,
nor
their
retracting
doth
condemne
the
matter
(
which
is
the
maine
poynt
)
but
some
other
reasons
did
mooue
a
moderation
in
them
,
and
all
the
rest
of
our
nation
(
to
vse
his
owne
wordes
)
which
was
neither
their
condemning
the
seditious
Bull
,
nor
their
approuing
of
her
Maiesties
right
to
the
royall
seate
she
sate
in
,
which
the
Bull
sought
to
impeach
both
amongst
forrainers
and
home
subiects
.
The
ground
and
cause
of
the
moderation
spoken
of
by
this
Popish
politike
discourser
,
appeareth
by
the
suite
made
by
Campion
and
Parsons
,
vnto
Gregory
the
13.
then
Pope
;
wherein
they
desired
that
this
Bull
of
excommunication
might
not
reach
to
touch
the
Catholikes
for
performing
obedience
to
her
Maiestie
,
which
was
graunted
to
them
;
and
the
very
wordes
of
the
dispensation
are
these
.
Where
in
the
Bull
of
Pius
Quintus
all
her
subiects
are
commaunded
not
to
obey
her
;
and
she
being
excommunicated
,
and
deposed
,
all
that
doe
obey
her
,
are
likewise
innodate
and
accursed
:
(
which
point
is
perilous
to
the
Catholikes
:
For
if
they
obey
her
,
they
are
then
in
the
Popes
curse
;
and
if
they
disobey
,
they
are
in
the
Queenes
daunger
:
)
therefore
the
present
Pope
,
to
relieue
them
,
hath
altered
that
part
of
the
Bull
,
and
dispensed
with
them
to
obey
,
and
serue
her
,
without
perill
of
excommunication
:
which
dispensation
is
to
endure
,
but
till
that
it
please
the
Pope
otherwise
to
determine
.
And
these
good
fathers
(
so
called
by
this
popish
discourser
)
are
iustified
&
commended
,
and
thought
worthie
of
great
thankes
,
both
of
the
Queene
,
and
countrie
:
and
yet
you
see
that
euen
in
this
dispensation
,
as
well
as
in
the
Bull
,
our
Soueraigne
is
continued
by
this
Pope
excommunicated
,
and
cursed
,
as
farre
as
the
hand
of
such
a
cursed
creature
can
reach
;
and
so
are
all
her
true
hearted
subiects
.
But
by
this
they
doe
discouer
their
grosse
cunning
.
This
discourser
would
faine
perswade
that
this
was
done
for
the
Queenes
good
,
both
for
the
safetie
of
her
person
,
and
quiet
of
her
countrie
.
Notwithstanding
reuerend
father
Saunders
could
,
after
this
,
bee
the
Popes
Legate
,
to
incite
,
and
comfort
Irish
subiects
to
rebell
against
her
Maiestie
:
where
,
if
the
mightie
God
had
not
giuen
a
couragious
heart
,
and
a
strong
hand
to
that
most
vertuous
and
valiant
gentleman
,
the
noble
Lord
Arthur
Gray
,
then
her
Highnes
Deputie
in
that
place
,
Saunders
perswasion
had
made
a
strong
partie
;
and
Spaniards
had
setled
too
strong
a
footing
for
vs
to
recouer
in
haste
.
Further
to
discouer
the
treacherous
hearts
of
all
these
confederates
,
the
conspiracie
of
Babington
,
Barnewell
,
Titchborne
,
and
the
rest
iumping
together
in
one
minde
,
and
combining
together
to
performe
one
bloodie
action
,
which
was
,
to
lay
violent
hands
vpon
Gods
annoynted
:
whence
came
it
,
but
from
Rome
,
and
Rhemes
,
following
the
impious
rules
of
Pius
Quintus
in
his
cursed
Bull
?
Besides
this
,
who
set
Parry
on
worke
to
come
hither
with
an
impudent
and
shameles
face
,
and
here
to
court
it
;
to
bee
one
of
the
high
Court
of
parliament
;
and
to
intrude
himselfe
into
the
houses
,
and
to
the
tables
of
her
Maiesties
chiefest
Counsellors
;
yea
very
often
to
her
Maiesties
owne
presence
,
and
too
often
,
&
too
neere
,
with
allowance
and
liking
;
hauing
with
her
Highnes
large
discourses
,
and
long
conferences
,
but
that
fisher
of
Rome
?
who
fisheth
not
for
mens
soules
,
as
Peter
did
,
to
winne
them
to
God
;
but
after
kingdomes
,
and
segniories
,
that
they
may
be
tributarie
to
him
,
and
that
hee
may
haue
authoritie
to
dispose
of
them
at
his
pleasure
.
For
from
this
,
Parry
came
reconciled
,
and
,
forsaking
his
obedience
to
his
rightfull
Soueraigne
,
became
subiect
to
him
;
and
from
those
parts
he
came
ouer
with
this
bloodie
purpose
to
kill
our
dread
Queene
,
To
assure
this
,
he
gaue
his
word
to
sundrie
to
vndertake
it
;
he
receiued
the
Sacrament
to
doe
it
;
and
he
confirmed
his
bloodie
promise
with
his
hand
,
in
a
letter
sent
to
Rome
,
desiring
therein
his
holines
allowance
for
the
doing
of
this
vnholy
act
,
and
crauing
full
remission
for
all
his
sinnes
:
which
was
performed
to
him
by
this
holie
Vicars
commandement
,
in
a
letter
sent
to
him
from
a
Cardinall
in
Rome
,
wherein
his
purpose
was
sayd
to
be
honorable
,
the
fact
meritorious
before
God
;
and
kinde
requitals
are
promised
to
him
for
vndertaking
the
matter
,
and
for
his
care
had
in
the
busines
.
Therefore
notwithstanding
the
fine
smoothing
of
this
discourser
,
who
would
beare
the
worlde
in
hand
,
that
after
this
Bul
published
,
the
peaceable
gouernment
of
our
gracious
Queene
was
not
by
any
disturbed
;
you
shall
finde
it
most
false
and
vntrue
.
For
if
I
should
stand
to
reckon
vp
all
the
stirres
,
that
troublesome
,
and
trayterous
spirits
(
as
the
vipers
brood
)
would
haue
raised
in
the
bowels
of
their
natiue
countrie
,
I
should
ouerloade
you
with
too
many
odious
and
loathsome
examples
.
For
what
mooued
Frauncis
Throckmorton
to
enter
into
a
new
practise
?
What
was
the
cause
of
Charles
Pagets
going
out
of
England
?
of
the
two
vnhappie
Earles
commitment
?
the
one
being
arraigned
,
and
tried
by
his
Peeres
,
and
(
being
condemned
)
spared
to
liue
by
the
wonderfull
mercie
of
her
most
milde
Maiestie
:
the
other
preuenting
his
trial
,
by
laying
violent
&
bloody
hands
vpon
his
owne
person
:
was
not
all
this
,
and
much
more
than
this
,
to
depose
,
or
(
some
way
or
other
)
to
dispatch
our
most
gracious
and
lawfull
Queene
?
And
yet
,
after
the
publishing
of
this
Bull
of
Pius
Quintus
(
sayth
our
discourser
)
our
Catholikes
(
committing
nothing
against
her
Maiestie
,
or
her
lawes
)
remained
quiet
,
and
did
all
acts
of
homage
and
honor
vnto
her
.
But
,
to
proue
this
his
owne
cleering
of
them
not
to
be
so
cleere
,
he
sayth
presently
after
,
that
the
most
part
of
all
sorts
of
Catholikes
,
both
in
England
and
Ireland
,
haue
done
this
;
onely
a
very
few
Nobles
of
both
countries
taking
armes
for
their
defence
:
so
as
to
an
excuse
of
all
he
addeth
an
accusation
of
some
;
and
,
if
the
matter
of
this
excuse
were
liked
of
by
himselfe
,
and
allowed
;
he
must
needes
condemne
these
some
,
that
were
so
rash
headed
to
take
armes
against
their
Queene
,
and
country
;
and
if
he
allowed
these
same
in
thus
dooing
;
then
his
great
paines
taken
to
excuse
all
Catholikes
to
be
free
from
stirring
disloyallie
,
was
but
a
Popish
florish
of
dissimulation
.
He
proceedeth
to
excuse
all
the
preests
,
and
students
beyond
the
seas
,
and
all
such
as
came
ouer
,
and
faith
,
that
al
of
them
since
that
censure
of
his
holines
(
to
vse
his
owne
words
)
did
vse
all
reuerence
,
and
respect
to
her
Maiestie
,
vttering
in
no
preaching
,
speech
,
or
booke
,
no
not
at
the
houre
of
their
death
,
and
martyrdome
(
as
he
calleth
it
,
though
hee
shall
neuer
proue
a
traytor
to
be
a
martyr
)
nor
euer
before
in
any
their
confessions
to
the
Magistrate
,
any
disloyall
word
against
her
Maiestie
.
But
for
many
proofes
against
this
,
take
one
for
all
,
to
disproue
him
;
and
this
one
proofe
being
from
such
a
one
;
as
the
whole
packe
of
them
did
highly
reuerence
,
and
regarde
,
being
a
Cardinall
;
and
Cardinall
Allen
it
was
.
This
English
traytor
,
though
he
were
a
Cardinal
at
Rome
,
hath
sent
vs
from
thence
many
slaunderous
,
and
seditious
pamphlets
.
Amongst
the
rest
he
vndertaketh
the
defending
of
that
false
faithles
Gentleman
,
Syr
William
Stanley
,
in
his
treasonable
parte
played
against
her
Maiestie
,
in
deliuering
vp
the
towne
of
Deuenter
,
contrarie
to
the
trust
reposed
in
him
;
and
in
that
booke
he
blusheth
not
to
set
downe
these
words
,
that
,
since
her
excommunication
,
and
deposition
by
the
Pope
,
she
hath
no
iust
title
,
or
interest
to
her
crowne
,
and
kingdome
;
and
that
no
act
done
by
her
authoritie
since
the
publishing
of
that
excommunication
,
and
deposition
,
hath
been
,
or
can
be
lawfull
by
the
law
of
God
,
or
man
.
And
therefore
that
no
man
may
lawfully
serue
her
in
any
action
,
be
it
otherwise
neuer
so
iust
.
From
which
he
rusheth
into
an
earnest
perswasion
to
reuolte
,
to
withdraw
her
subiects
from
her
seruice
;
and
to
exhort
them
to
the
seruice
of
the
Romish
catholike
party
,
and
her
enemies
.
Now
let
Master
Discourser
tell
me
,
whether
this
be
to
vtter
in
no
preaching
,
speech
,
or
booke
,
any
disloyall
word
against
her
Maiestie
?
And
if
he
will
be
silent
,
because
he
dare
not
speake
the
truth
,
to
contrary
,
and
controule
his
former
lye
;
yet
let
all
true
hearted
English-men
tell
me
whether
this
iugling
companion
(
the
discourser
I
meane
)
bee
not
an
impudent
,
and
shameles
dissembling
lyar
,
in
perswading
vs
by
a
printed
pamphlet
,
that
all
Catholikes
were
sory
that
Saunders
,
and
Bristow
did
write
in
allowance
,
and
defence
of
the
Bull
,
and
wished
that
such
an
offensiue
matter
had
neuer
been
touched
,
(
they
are
his
owne
words
)
and
that
all
Catholikes
,
both
Preests
,
students
,
and
others
,
did
conteyne
themselues
from
all
disloyall
speeches
,
or
actions
;
when
as
Cardinall
Allen
,
their
Arch-prelate
,
(
on
whose
iudgement
all
the
English
Papists
liuing
did
rely
as
resolutely
,
as
the
Heathen
could
possibly
vpon
the
Oracles
sent
from
their
Gods
)
durst
,
like
an
Arch-traytor
,
thus
villanously
stuffe
his
booke
with
blasphemous
slanders
,
diuelish
perswasions
,
and
impudent
lyes
against
her
Maiestie
.
There
is
no
ende
of
this
humor
in
them
;
their
practises
are
pestilent
,
their
perswasions
perilous
,
and
their
platformes
trayterous
;
and
to
serue
their
turne
,
they
want
not
cunning
to
execute
all
:
so
violent
they
are
in
their
villanies
,
and
treasons
;
and
so
shameles
they
are
in
their
falsehood
,
&
dissimulation
.
I
haue
dwelt
long
in
this
vnsauery
,
and
vnpleasant
argument
of
treacheries
and
treasons
,
and
in
the
enumeration
of
our
godlesse
,
and
vnnaturall
traytors
:
wherein
I
haue
touched
many
matters
,
and
poynted
out
many
persons
:
yet
could
I
very
easilie
adde
many
more
:
but
I
holde
it
needelesse
,
because
the
purpose
of
my
labour
is
onely
to
giue
a
taste
to
my
deare
countrymen
in
this
stirring
world
,
wherein
Rome
,
and
Spaine
,
and
Hell
it selfe
;
are
set
on
fire
against
our
rightfull
Queene
,
and
her
kingdome
;
that
by
this
taste
they
might
see
the
brutish
villanies
of
our
bastard
countreymen
,
and
might
vnderstand
what
iust
cause
there
is
for
them
to
detest
both
the
traytors
,
and
treasons
.
And
surely
the
traytors
themselues
(
if
God
iustly
had
not
blinded
them
)
by
many
stories
,
and
examples
might
knowe
,
that
proditio
placet
,
non
proditor
,
though
it
light
vpon
forreyners
against
a
nation
.
We
reade
of
Mahomet
,
who
intending
to
besiege
Constantinople
,
a
rich
,
but
seditious
Citizen
,
goeth
to
him
,
and
promiseth
to
procure
the
gates
to
bee
set
open
for
him
,
if
hee
would
promise
to
giue
him
his
daughter
in
mariage
with
a
rich
dowry
.
Mahomet
agreeing
,
the
other
performed
his
deuised
treason
.
And
comming
after
to
demaund
his
wages
;
It
is
but
thy
due
,
saith
Mahomet
;
and
so
commaunded
a
great
masse
of
treasure
to
bee
layed
before
him
:
But
because
thou
requirest
my
daughter
(
saith
hee
)
thou
being
a
Christian
,
thou
must
put
off
thy
olde
skinne
,
that
thou
maist
be
fit
to
company
with
a
wife
of
a
new
,
and
strange
religion
to
thee
;
and
withall
commaunded
him
to
bee
flayed
,
and
hot
imbers
,
and
salte
to
be
cast
vpon
the
raw
flesh
,
and
so
to
be
layed
in
a
bed
,
till
a
new
skin
might
growe
;
where
he
ended
his
miserable
life
,
with
a
iust
and
righteous
punishment
for
his
treason
.
At
home
,
and
amongst
our selues
,
Earle
Edrick
,
to
settle
this
kingdome
in
the
handes
of
the
Danes
,
setteth
on
his
sonne
by
some
trayterous
plot
,
or
other
,
to
dispatch
king
Edmunde
,
surnamed
Iron
syde
,
out
of
the
waye
.
Which
hee
indeede
shortly
performed
,
murthering
the
king
,
as
hee
for
necessities
sake
was
sitting
in
a
secret
place
.
The
father
,
with
good
hope
,
but
ill
speede
,
hasteth
to
enforme
Canutus
the
Dane
,
of
this
exploite
performed
for
him
.
But
as
was
his
worke
;
such
was
his
wages
.
Trayterous
was
his
acte
;
and
a
shamefull
death
was
his
end
;
euen
by
Canutus
appoyntment
,
abhorring
the
traytor
,
though
he
got
the
kingdome
by
his
treason
.
Much
more
ought
we
to
be
incensed
with
a
detestation
of
our
traytors
;
the
treason
being
against
England
;
&
the
traytors
being
borne
English
.
For
in
such
a
case
what
true
harted
Englishman
can
brooke
either
?
I
will
now
hasten
to
those
,
to
whom
the
treason
was
,
&
is
pleasant
;
and
that
is
,
the
ambitious
Spaniard
;
whose
minde
is
neuer
quiet
from
aspiring
,
nor
neuer
will
be
satisfied
with
lesse
than
the
possessing
of
an
whole
worlde
of
kingdomes
;
whose
ambition
hath
touched
vpon
many
dominions
,
&
territories
;
&
where
they
preuaile
,
and
can
once
set
a
conquering
foote
,
they
gouerne
not
in
the
mildenes
of
a
rightfull
king
,
but
rule
with
the
crueltie
of
a
bloodie
tyrant
.
Examples
hereof
there
are
many
;
&
sundry
printed
bookes
amongst
vs
doe
publish
,
and
discouer
particulars
of
it
.
This
proud
Spaniard
was
backed
with
all
the
ayde
that
possiblie
Rome
and
all
the
Romanists
could
affoord
him
,
and
encouraged
to
go
on
with
great
hope
of
successe
;
and
offereth
an
inuasion
vpon
this
little
Island
of
England
;
and
strengtheneth
himselfe
to
this
purpose
with
as
great
choice
of
shipping
and
men
,
as
possibly
he
could
;
the
shippes
being
huge
,
great
,
and
strong
;
the
men
,
both
souldiers
and
marriners
,
well
chosen
;
the
guides
,
both
for
land
and
sea
,
of
great
skill
;
the
furniture
strong
,
and
good
;
the
munition
for
powder
and
shot
plentifull
;
the
victuall
sufficient
,
and
seasonable
,
and
all
the
prouision
fit
and
necessarie
for
such
an
exployte
vndertaken
.
And
in
this
Nauie
such
trust
was
reposed
by
Rome
,
by
Spayne
,
and
by
our
home-borne
traytors
,
that
it
was
called
The
inuincible
nauie
.
Yet
they
found
that
it
had
been
good
counsell
,
that
Ahab
gaue
to
Benhadad
,
Let
not
him
that
girdeth
himselfe
with
his
armour
,
boast
,
as
he
that
putteth
it
off
.
For
when
flesh
and
blood
will
bragge
of
his
greatnes
,
glory
in
his
strength
,
and
vaunt
of
his
victories
before
hand
;
there
is
a
God
in
heauen
that
watcheth
ouer
his
chosen
;
and
,
when
the
wicked
meane
most
mischiefe
against
his
annoynted
,
can
disappoynt
their
purposes
,
and
ouerthrow
them
in
their
own
turne
.
So
fell
it
out
to
this
ambitious
Spaniard
,
who
promising
to
himselfe
a
victorious
conquest
ouer
England
,
was
conquered
himself
,
without
any
blow
,
or
not
many
blowes
striken
;
the
Lord
of
hosts
setting
the
boysterous
windes
,
and
surging
seas
to
fight
against
him
;
by
which
many
of
them
were
dispersed
and
drowned
:
not
vnlike
vnto
the
victory
of
Theodosius
vpon
the
Alpes
,
for
whom
the
storie
sayth
,
that
the
great
windes
were
sent
from
God
to
sight
,
and
he
had
a
great
victorie
;
whereupon
Claudeanus
writeth
these
verses
:
O
nimium
dilecte
Deo
,
cui
militat
aether
,
Et
coniurati
veniunt
ad
classica
venti
.
And
so
may
we
say
to
our
Queene
in
her
victory
against
this
boasting
proud
Spaniard
.
O
blest
of
God
,
for
whom
the
skie
it selfe
doth
fight
,
And
boysterous
winds
against
thy
foes
do
band
to
shew
their
might
.
He
is
taught
hereby
what
it
is
to
fight
against
God
,
though
he
thinke
neuer
so
basely
of
Englands
strength
,
or
respect
neuer
so
little
of
the
abilitie
thereof
to
encounter
and
resist
him
.
For
was
not
this
his
ouerthrowe
almost
matchable
with
that
,
that
young
Agesilaus
gaue
to
the
Arcadians
?
For
they
made
warre
against
the
Spartans
,
when
Archidamus
was
aged
,
and
not
able
to
goe
into
the
field
,
and
he
did
send
his
sonne
Agesilaus
against
them
,
who
ouerthrew
the
Arcadians
with
smal
losse
,
or
none
at
al
;
and
it
was
called
The
teare-les
battaile
.
And
,
with
praise
to
God
be
it
spoken
,
he
had
cause
(
to
his
sorrow
and
shame
)
to
thinke
that
our
milde
&
mayden
Queene
wanted
not
ships
,
mariners
,
and
souldiers
to
encounter
him
;
nor
yet
noble
,
and
valiant
conductors
;
to
stop
his
attempt
,
and
resist
his
furie
;
and
(
I
trust
)
she
shall
euer
be
able
to
man
out
shipping
to
master
his
malice
,
and
to
abate
his
pride
;
and
I
rest
assured
of
it
,
because
his
,
and
the
Popes
malice
to
her
,
is
not
because
she
is
daughter
to
King
Henrie
the
8.
and
sister
to
Queene
Mary
;
but
because
she
hath
banished
the
Pope
,
that
Antichrist
of
Rome
,
and
hath
yeelded
her selfe
to
the
obedience
of
Christ
Iesus
,
in
the
voyce
of
his
Gospell
.
Hence
it
is
,
that
the
Pope
rageth
,
and
bestirreth
himselfe
with
his
curses
,
and
sendeth
his
pupills
abroade
amongst
vs
,
to
draw
christians
from
Gods
truth
,
to
his
false
religion
;
and
to
withdraw
subiects
from
obedience
to
their
lawful
Soueraigne
;
a
worke
well
beseeming
Antichrist
,
and
all
his
adherents
.
Against
whom
the
heathen
shall
rise
in
iudgement
,
and
shall
condemne
them
;
who
thought
it
vnhonest
,
and
vnhonorable
,
not
onely
to
plot
,
and
deuise
treasons
,
but
euen
so
much
as
to
hearken
to
any
treason
offered
them
,
though
neuer
so
much
for
their
benefit
.
For
in
the
warre
betweene
Fabricius
the
Romaine
,
and
Pyrrhus
;
the
phisition
of
Pyrrhus
did
offer
for
a
summe
of
mony
to
poison
Pyrrhus
,
that
so
Fabricius
might
get
the
victorie
:
but
Fabricius
was
so
farre
from
accepting
the
offer
,
as
he
sent
backe
the
traitour
to
Pyrrhus
,
and
bad
him
take
heede
how
hee
entertayned
such
traytors
so
neere
him
.
But
the
king
of
Spayne
deale
not
so
with
the
Queene
our
mistres
,
when
her
poysonfull
Portingall
phisition
Lopus
would
haue
poysoned
her
.
For
,
from
such
hopes
hee
taketh
hearte
,
and
hath
alreadie
offered
to
inuade
vs
;
and
hath
been
,
and
is
still
busied
with
vs
in
Ireland
,
and
did
carry
a
full
purpose
this
last
spring
,
to
trye
the
vttermost
of
his
strength
to
get
footing
heere
,
had
not
her
Maiestie
most
prouidently
foreseene
in
her
princely
wisdome
how
fit
it
was
to
speake
with
him
at
his
own
home
,
thereby
to
diuert
his
forces
from
his
intended
inuasion
vpon
vs
,
to
defend
him selfe
;
and
to
that
end
shee
sent
out
a
royall
nauye
vnder
the
conduct
and
commaunde
of
two
honorable
Generalls
;
who
diuiding
themselues
the
one
to
keep
the
seas
,
and
the
other
to
set
foot
vpon
the
spaniards
sayle
.
He
that
desired
to
land
,
left
his
honorable
companion
with
the
greatest
parte
of
the
fleet
,
and
himselfe
hasteth
with
the
companies
agreed
vpon
,
to
the
shore
,
and
with
the
extraordinarie
forwardnes
of
a
Generall
,
he
stayed
not
the
entrance
of
many
before
him
into
the
towne
,
but
to
the
encouragement
of
all
,
both
before
him
and
behind
him
,
he
shewed
little
to
respect
the
safety
of
his
own
person
;
and
more
regarding
the
honour
of
his
Soueraigne
,
his
countrey
,
and
himselfe
,
then
his
owne
life
,
hee
entred
the
towne
with
a
small
number
at
the
first
,
and
would
not
be
daunted
or
driuen
backe
by
the
fiery
furie
of
Spanish
shot
,
setled
in
euery
house
to
annoy
him
:
but
continued
his
course
,
till
he
possessed
the
Market
place
,
where
he
proceeded
in
his
most
valorous
and
victorious
attempt
,
to
the
winning
of
the
towne
:
which
done
,
he
ioyned
himselfe
to
his
most
honorable
companion
againe
,
who
no
doubt
was
prest
and
readie
to
performe
what
belonged
vnto
his
place
,
if
occasion
had
been
offered
.
And
all
England
hath
iust
cause
to
praise
God
,
for
this
blow
of
dishonour
giuen
to
Spayne
,
and
for
the
safe
returne
of
both
the
honorable
Generals
againe
:
who
so
speedily
by
their
diligence
,
so
prouidently
by
their
gouernment
,
and
so
forcibly
by
their
courage
arriued
vpon
his
coast
,
approached
an
attempt
,
and
followed
it
with
such
magnanimitie
,
as
(
by
the
goodnes
of
the
Almighty
)
they
had
most
prosperous
successe
,
without
any
great
losse
of
men
,
or
shipping
;
&
returned
safe
home
,
by
the
assistance
of
the
same
God
,
being
as
ready
to
defend
vs
from
inuasion
,
as
they
haue
shewed
themselues
forward
to
offend
him
at
his
owne
dore
.
And
no
doubt
this
biting
blow
,
lately
giuen
him
by
these
two
noble
Generals
,
hath
no
whit
abated
his
anger
,
but
incensed
him
more
:
so
as
we
are
not
to
doubt
,
but
that
he
wil
no
longer
stay
from
offering
a
reuenge
vpon
vs
,
than
he
can
furnish
himselfe
strongly
to
his
liking
.
And
herein
shall
he
not
want
the
helpe
of
al
his
popish
confederates
,
both
forreine
,
and
at
home
.
For
I
doe
not
heare
that
the
Popes
holines
is
so
purged
from
ambition
,
or
so
reconciled
to
religion
,
as
he
meaneth
not
to
continue
his
claime
for
the
Supremacie
:
or
wil
cease
to
settle
the
dregs
of
his
poyson
,
and
superstitious
doctrine
amongst
vs
.
I
cannot
conceiue
that
the
thirst
of
Parsons
,
and
his
pew-fellowes
is
yet
quenched
,
from
seeking
the
blood
of
our
deare
Soueraigne
,
and
(
in
her
)
the
destruction
of
vs
all
;
the
cause
remayning
stil
,
for
which
heretofore
they
haue
sought
it
;
neither
can
I
be
perswaded
the
Spaynes
malice
to
England
is
yet
abated
,
but
that
the
Queene
our
mistris
,
&
her
kingdome
,
is
accounted
with
him
a
pray
worth
the
enioying
.
Therefore
I
doubt
nothing
of
the
Popes
malicious
forwardnes
to
incite
it
,
and
to
adde
all
the
strength
he
can
to
it
;
nor
of
our
English
traytors
harty
disposition
to
further
it
;
nor
of
the
Spaniards
ambitious
desire
to
take
it
in
hand
,
and
his
willingnes
to
do
the
worst
he
can
.
And
his
worst
let
him
doe
.
For
the
God
of
heauen
is
with
vs
,
who
is
a
iust
defender
of
all
those
that
haue
a
iust
cause
:
and
as
it
was
sayd
of
Constantius
:
Et
causaque
valet
,
causamque
tuentibus
armis
:
So
may
we
say
of
our
Queene
:
Her
cause
is
better
that
she
takes
in
hand
;
Her
force
more
strong
,
Spaynes
malice
to
withstand
.
For
whether
we
respect
the
Pope
,
the
fugitiue
,
and
home-traytors
,
or
the
King
of
Spayne
;
our
cause
is
most
iust
.
With
the
Pope
we
stand
for
Gods
sacred
and
sincere
truth
,
against
his
superstitious
and
Idolatrous
falshood
.
With
the
fugitiue
and
home-traytor
,
wee
stand
for
our
Soueraigne
,
and
countrie
,
against
barbarous
,
vnnaturall
,
and
most
monstrous
bloodie
harted
treasons
.
With
the
ambitious
King
of
Spayne
wee
stand
for
our
rightfull
Queene
,
against
an
vsurping
tyrant
.
And
therefore
there
is
no
Christian
heart
so
senceles
,
that
wil
not
stand
for
God
,
against
the
Diuell
;
for
Christ
,
against
Antichrist
;
for
trueth
,
against
falsehood
:
neither
is
there
any
true
English
heart
so
voyd
of
loyaltie
to
his
Soueraigne
,
and
loue
to
his
countrie
,
but
that
hee
will
stand
for
both
,
against
practises
&
plotformes
of
fugitiues
,
against
the
furie
,
and
madnes
of
home-traytors
;
and
against
the
inuading
humour
of
a
bloodie
tyrant
.
Now
,
deare
countrymen
,
you
haue
a
taste
of
the
black
darknes
,
that
this
our
natiue
,
and
naturall
country
was
in
,
when
the
Popish
cleargie
carryed
the
sway
amongst
vs
;
and
what
a
blessed
change
did
befall
vs
,
when
the
mightie
God
from
heauen
allotted
our
moste
deare
,
and
rightfull
liege
Lady
,
to
be
his
soueraigne
substitute
,
to
gouerne
ouer
vs
,
his
children
,
and
her
naturally
borne
subiects
of
England
;
by
whose
happy
entrance
into
this
seate
of
gouernment
those
darke
and
cloudie
dayes
,
daungerous
both
to
soule
and
bodie
,
were
turned
into
a
cleare
sun-shyne
of
comfort
,
to
all
,
that
had
any
taste
,
and
sauour
of
the
wofull
blindenes
they
were
held
in
;
or
had
any
fence
,
or
feeling
of
their
countryes
miserie
.
And
lastly
you
haue
heard
of
the
manifolde
daungers
,
that
this
our
deare
soueraigne
,
and
supreame
gouernour
(
vnder
God
)
was
in
;
both
in
the
time
of
her
sister
,
Queene
Marie
;
the
bloody
purposes
,
and
practises
against
her
by
the
Romish
cleargie
;
as
also
after
she
was
possessed
of
the
royall
authoritie
,
due
to
her
in
this
flourishing
kingdome
,
by
forreine
malice
,
and
home
treason
;
by
which
the
peace
of
our
land
hath
bene
disturbed
,
her
precious
lyfe
mischieuously
,
and
many
wayes
short
at
;
and
our
whole
countrey
sought
to
be
runiated
,
and
ouer-runne
by
inuasion
from
the
ambitious
tyrant
of
Spayne
.
And
all
these
deuises
against
her
,
and
vs
,
were
plotted
at
Rome
;
from
whence
that
man
of
sinne
(
the
Pope
I
meane
)
hath
incited
and
encouraged
home-borne
subiects
to
become
rebells
,
in
raysing
men
,
and
carrying
armes
against
their
rightfull
Queene
;
and
to
become
bloudy
traytors
in
conspiring
the
death
of
her
,
whose
life
is
moste
precious
vnto
vs
,
and
should
haue
been
most
deare
vnto
them
.
But
our
neuer
fayling
God
hath
cutt
the
throate
of
all
those
platformes
,
and
practises
,
by
disappointing
the
purposes
of
all
these
rebells
,
and
traytors
;
and
preseruing
the
life
of
our
gratious
Soueraigne
Lady
,
beyond
the
reach
of
all
policie
,
and
wit
of
man
:
for
which
we
can
neuer
be
sufficiently
thankfull
to
this
our
good
God
,
for
that
in
the
contynewing
of
her
life
,
(
which
the
Lorde
still
long
contynue
)
true
religion
,
the
liues
of
vs
all
,
and
our
countries
libertie
,
and
tranquillitie
is
preserued
,
and
prolonged
.
This
bloudye
monster
of
Rome
doth
not
stay
here
,
but
hauing
alreadie
stirred
vp
Spaine
to
set
vpon
vs
both
in
Ireland
,
and
in
England
,
doth
still
whet
them
on
,
by
his
vnholy
prouocations
,
to
inuade
;
and
Spaine
beeing
enraged
at
his
former
ill
successe
when
he
was
here
,
and
the
sharp
blowe
now
giuen
him
,
will
not
disobey
his
holy
father
at
Rome
;
nor
refuse
to
giue
a
newe
attempt
vpon
vs
,
to
trye
whether
he
can
speede
better
.
For
Romish
malice
is
not
easilie
abated
;
and
the
thirst
of
a
kingdome
will
hardly
be
quenched
.
To
meete
with
this
proud
popish
champion
,
our
carefull
Soueraigne
,
and
her
prouident
Councel
consult
daylie
,
and
commaund
daylie
.
They
consult
of
the
best
meanes
to
resist
him
,
and
defend
vs
;
and
they
commaund
all
thinges
necessarie
to
be
prouided
by
vs
,
that
wee
may
stand
strongly
for
God
,
for
Queene
,
for
countrie
,
euen
for
the
life
,
and
liberties
of
our selues
,
and
all
belonging
to
vs
.
It
behoueth
vs
therefore
to
bee
carefull
in
our
places
also
,
that
as
her
Maiestie
,
&
her
honorable
Councell
consult
,
and
command
for
the
best
;
so
we
should
obey
,
and
prouide
for
the
best
.
It
is
sayd
of
a
learned
man
,
that
the
felicitie
of
a
Common-wealth
consisteth
in
well
commaunding
,
and
well
obeying
.
For
if
the
commaunders
doe
their
parts
,
if
obedience
faile
,
their
commanding
is
vaine
:
but
if
well
commanding
be
answered
with
dutifull
obeying
,
then
is
religion
safe
,
the
Queene
is
safe
,
the
Common-wealth
is
safe
,
and
we
are
all
safe
.
For
Xenophon
in
his
time
sayth
,
that
,
Quae
hoc
tempore
habemus
bona
,
ob
nullam
aliam
causam
adepti
sumus
,
quàm
ob
praestitam
obedientiam
principi
.
So
sacred
and
holy
a
thing
is
obedience
to
Princes
,
before
God
himselfe
,
who
commandeth
vs
to
obey
:
nay
whom
in
this
point
none
can
disobey
,
being
a
true
Christian
;
and
so
reuerend
a
thing
was
obedience
to
such
as
knewe
not
God
,
who
were
drawne
thereto
by
the
light
of
nature
,
and
by
experience
of
their
owne
feeling
the
sweete
thereof
.
Now
herein
we
haue
an
aduauntage
aboue
them
:
for
wee
haue
both
knowledge
of
God
,
who
commandeth
vs
to
obey
,
and
him
we
may
not
disobey
;
and
we
haue
no
lesse
cause
to
feele
the
benefit
of
godly
and
Christian
obedience
to
our
Christian
prince
,
than
euer
had
,
or
hath
any
nation
of
the
worlde
:
and
to
shewe
our
selues
senceles
of
this
,
were
to
resist
Gods
ordinance
,
to
be
ingratefull
to
our
deare
Queene
,
and
to
shake
off
all
care
to
continue
the
peace
and
prosperitie
of
our
countrie
;
and
consequently
to
neglect
our
owne
priuate
good
.
I
hold
it
a
sound
ground
,
&
not
to
bee
controlled
,
that
euery
Christian
ought
to
striue
to
keep
these
three
things
sound
within
his
breast
;
his
conscience
before
God
,
his
loialtie
to
his
Prince
,
and
his
loue
to
his
countrie
.
All
which
three
for
my
part
I
account
so
neerely
conioyned
each
to
other
,
as
they
cannot
iustly
be
seuered
.
For
in
vaine
do
wee
speake
of
conscience
to
God
,
if
we
be
short
in
loyaltie
,
and
obedience
to
her
Maiestie
:
in
vaine
doe
we
brag
of
loyaltie
to
her
Maiestie
,
if
we
carrie
not
a
loue
to
our
countrie
:
and
in
vaine
do
we
protest
loue
to
our
country
,
if
we
performe
not
all
loue
,
loyaltie
,
and
obedience
to
our
Soueraigne
,
&
labour
not
in
some
measure
to
satisfie
the
dutie
of
a
good
conscience
to
our
good
God
.
Our
conscience
cannot
but
tell
vs
,
that
all
obedience
is
due
to
the
soueraigne
Magistrate
.
For
we
are
taught
it
out
of
the
booke
of
conscience
,
the
holy
Scriptures
;
which
teach
vs
that
wee
must
submit
our selues
to
all
manner
of
ordinance
of
man
,
for
the
Lords
sake
;
whether
it
be
vnto
the
King
,
as
vnto
the
superiour
,
&c.
Our
loyalty
should
tel
vs
,
&
teach
vs
,
that
the
safetie
of
her
Maiestie
consisteth
in
loyall
,
and
true
obedience
from
her
subiects
:
for
obedience
proceedeth
of
loue
;
and
Amor
ciuium
est
regi
inexpugnabile
munimentum
,
sayth
Seneca
.
And
our
loue
should
tell
vs
,
that
the
Common-wealth
is
most
happie
,
where
obedience
is
most
heartilie
performed
.
For
,
as
one
saith
verie
notably
,
Nihil
est
,
quod
regnum
aliquod
reddat
potentius
,
firmins
,
serenius
,
aut
durabilius
,
quàm
obedientia
subditorum
.
Whosoeuer
therefore
hath
any
conscience
before
God
,
any
sparke
of
a
loyall
heart
to
her
Maiestie
,
or
the
least
sound
loue
in
his
bosome
to
his
countrie
;
he
cannot
but
embrace
this
obedience
,
euery
way
in
himselfe
seeke
to
expresse
it
,
and
with
others
earnestlie
labour
to
perswade
it
.
Notwithstanding
we
haue
some
,
and
too
great
a
summe
of
those
amongst
vs
,
that
shake
off
this
obedience
,
and
are
so
vehemently
caried
with
a
preposterous
blinde
zeale
to
popish
Idolatrie
,
that
the
Romish
Antichrist
challenging
to
bee
Christes
Vicar
vppon
earth
,
(
though
it
bee
plaine
that
in
stead
of
Christ
his
simple
and
naked
truth
,
he
setteth
vp
his
vnchristian
,
and
carnal
forgeries
,
and
vntruths
)
is
had
in
more
reuerence
and
regard
,
by
those
recusant
English-borne
subiects
,
than
is
our
most
Christian
,
and
most
rightfull
Queene
Elizabeth
.
For
although
the
commandement
be
giuen
from
God
,
that
wee
should
obey
her
:
yet
dare
they
couer
and
cloake
their
disobedience
vnder
the
colourable
name
of
conscience
:
whereas
it
is
nothing
els
,
but
a
vaine
,
and
superstitious
conceit
,
wrought
in
them
from
Rome
,
besotting
them
with
a
blinde
loue
of
their
dregges
,
and
making
them
(
like
to
the
foolish
Israelties
)
to
preferre
the
leekes
and
onyons
of
Egypt
,
before
the
sweete
Manna
,
wherwith
the
Lord
fed
them
from
heauen
.
So
that
in
them
the
olde
verse
is
fully
verified
:
Quisquis
amat
ranam
,
ranam
putat
esse
Dianam
.
The
foole
that
to
a
frog
his
fancy
ties
,
As
faire
Diana
thinks
it
in
his
eies
.
Now
conscience
must
be
grounded
vpon
knowledge
;
and
knowledge
to
guide
the
conscience
must
bee
fetched
out
of
the
sacred
and
holie
worde
of
GOD
;
the
triall
whereof
they
can
no
more
abide
,
then
can
the
owle
the
light
.
I
note
three
things
in
this
kinde
of
people
,
worthie
to
bee
knowne
and
obserued
.
First
,
the
hurt
they
continually
do
:
secondly
,
the
hurt
they
would
doe
:
and
thirdly
,
their
deepe
dissimulation
.
For
the
first
,
it
would
aske
a
large
discourse
to
discouer
all
the
hurts
done
by
them
,
they
are
so
many
and
manifold
;
I
will
onely
touch
some
.
My
owne
experience
telleth
me
,
that
where
the
gentleman
,
and
man
of
wealth
refuseth
to
come
to
the
Church
,
and
is
in
any
sort
borne
withall
;
there
the
meaner
sort
receiue
infection
,
and
draw
back
from
obedience
.
For
,
A
boue
maiori
discit
arare
minor
.
Of
elder
oxe
the
yonger
steere
doth
learne
.
If
the
men
come
to
Church
,
and
their
wiues
refuse
(
which
is
a
cunning
tricke
much
practised
of
late
yeres
)
then
is
that
houshold
,
both
children
&
seruants
,
in
daunger
wholly
to
bee
corrupted
.
And
sure
it
is
,
that
the
wiues
of
the
meaner
sort
are
infected
greatly
by
them
;
and
the
night
crowes
perswasion
preuaileth
much
;
and
in
mint
owne
knowledge
,
within
these
three
yeares
,
many
of
the
meaner
sort
are
fallen
away
,
and
doe
fall
away
daily
:
Impunitatis
spes
,
magna
peccandi
illecebra
.
Touching
the
hurt
they
would
do
,
who
doubteth
but
they
would
gladly
haue
vp
their
Masse
againe
,
and
banish
the
sincere
worship
of
God
?
Their
whole
catholike
gouernment
and
religion
,
I
am
sure
,
they
long
for
.
And
yet
,
to
pronounce
these
men
to
carrie
hollow
hearts
to
Queene
Elizabeth
,
is
thought
to
bee
an
vncharitable
sentence
.
But
I
pray
you
tell
me
,
Can
God
and
Mammon
;
Christ
and
Boliall
;
the
table
of
the
Lord
,
and
the
table
of
diuels
agree
together
?
Scripture
sayth
they
cannot
;
and
it
becommeth
vs
to
beleeue
it
,
no
more
can
the
Popes
authoritie
,
and
Queene
Elizabeths
stand
together
:
and
yet
must
I
beleeue
that
these
men
carrie
loyall
hearts
to
our
Soueraigne
,
though
they
obey
the
Pope
,
and
disobey
her
.
For
my
part
I
see
no
reason
at
all
to
beleeue
them
;
and
I
wish
all
my
countrimen
to
beware
of
them
,
for
they
are
a
dangerous
breede
;
and
the
more
dangerous
,
because
many
of
them
shew
to
haue
a
good
outward
ciuill
carriage
in
ciuill
matters
.
But
let
not
that
possesse
you
with
too
great
a
regarde
of
them
:
and
to
deliuer
you
from
the
danger
of
such
deceitfull
baytes
,
I
must
assure
you
that
this
is
a
true
position
,
that
,
without
the
true
feare
of
God
there
can
bee
no
true
religion
;
and
vnles
the
religion
be
sound
,
the
face
,
and
shew
of
ciuill
honestie
(
seeme
it
neuer
so
glorious
in
the
eyes
of
flesh
and
blood
)
is
but
a
deceitfull
visour
vpon
a
crabtree
face
,
couering
the
most
vile
,
and
cankered
partes
of
a
most
deceitfull
heart
;
and
so
I
come
to
their
dissimulation
.
These
ciuill
honest
men
,
that
vnder
pretence
of
conscience
rebel
against
God
in
religion
,
and
refuse
to
yeeld
a
loyall
obedience
to
their
liege
Lady
,
and
Soueraigne
(
as
in
religion
,
and
policie
they
ought
,
in
her
moste
iust
,
and
christian
lawes
and
commaundements
)
seeme
to
carry
a
moste
lamentable
resolution
lurking
in
their
bosomes
,
against
Queene
,
Country
,
&
vs
all
,
when
,
they
will
seeke
the
life
of
their
,
and
our
Queene
,
the
thraldome
of
their
,
and
our
countrie
,
and
the
ruine
of
vs
all
,
that
professe
the
gospell
,
to
haue
their
popish
priesthood
,
and
massing
sacrifice
vp
againe
;
and
if
this
be
conscience
,
I
know
not
what
conscience
meaneth
.
And
yet
this
conscience
they
fetch
from
Rome
;
and
,
by
the
plaine
profession
of
them
that
are
fledde
the
realme
,
and
haue
,
(
because
they
thought
them selues
out
of
reache
)
shewed
them selues
in
their
colours
,
wee
may
iustly
doubt
the
affection
of
those
,
that
remayne
with
vs
;
how
demurely
so
euer
they
will
shewe
to
behaue
them selues
.
For
they
are
of
the
horseleach
kinde
;
and
seeme
to
expect
when
they
may
glut
themselues
with
the
blood
of
Gods
saints
:
without
which
they
cannot
haue
their
Dagon
vp
againe
.
The
Recusants
of
our
age
cannot
professe
,
nor
make
greater
shewe
of
loyaltie
,
and
loue
to
our
dread
Soueraigne
:
neither
can
serue
her
outwardly
with
greater
apparance
of
faithfulnes
;
nor
can
protest
more
deepely
by
wordes
and
oathes
,
their
true
and
good
meaning
to
her
,
than
did
Gardiner
,
Boner
,
and
Tonstall
,
to
her
noble
father
,
and
brother
;
which
they
did
confirme
by
printed
bookes
.
For
Gardiner
he
wrote
his
booke
De
vera
obedientia
,
and
Boner
added
his
epistle
before
it
;
And
Tonstall
published
a
flat
treatise
against
the
Pope
.
But
when
these
two
noble
Princes
were
called
to
their
last
,
and
euerlasting
home
,
and
kingdome
in
heauen
,
and
Queene
Marie
possessed
the
gouernement
of
this
kingdome
vpon
earth
;
then
Gardiner
did
teare
off
his
glorious
visour
,
and
shewed
him selfe
in
his
right
colours
,
and
shape
.
For
he
,
and
his
complices
neuea
rested
,
till
they
had
brought
in
the
Spaniard
,
and
had
matched
him
in
marriage
with
the
Queene
;
by
which
they
betrayed
God
,
her
,
and
the
whole
realme
.
This
bloudie
intention
by
this
linck
thus
strengthened
,
then
commeth
Gardiner
out
publikely
in
pulpit
with
this
sentence
,
Hora
est
iam
nos
ê
somno
surgere
:
peruerting
the
sacred
scripture
most
profanely
,
and
blasphemously
to
his
bloodie
purpose
;
and
what
hauock
he
,
and
Boner
,
and
the
rest
made
of
Gods
saintes
,
and
our
deare
brethren
,
and
countrymean
,
stories
make
mention
.
Yea
further
,
as
before
I
haue
set
downe
,
this
bloodie
monster
Gardiner
did
put
hard
at
the
life
of
our
deare
Soueraigne
,
and
mistres
,
by
whom
(
next
,
and
immediatly
vnder
God
)
wee
all
liue
in
peace
,
and
safetie
,
both
of
soule
,
and
body
;
praysed
be
the
almightie
for
her
deliuerance
,
and
long
may
shee
liue
,
to
rule
and
raigne
ouer
vs
,
to
the
wasting
of
poperie
to
the
least
dramme
of
that
religion
(
or
rather
superstition
)
amongst
vs
;
and
to
the
rooting
out
,
and
vtter
ruinating
of
all
treasons
,
and
traytors
;
and
let
all
,
that
truly
feare
God
,
cary
loyall
hartes
to
our
deare
Queene
,
&
loue
their
countrey
vnfeignedly
,
as
faithfull
christians
,
loyall
subiects
,
and
true
harted
English-men
,
say
Amen
.
As
for
the
rest
,
such
of
them
,
as
are
to
be
conuerted
,
I
wish
them
true
,
and
speedie
conuersion
,
with
all
my
heart
;
otherwise
,
rather
than
Gods
true
religion
shoulde
bee
darkened
,
her
Maiesties
least
fingerake
by
treacherie
,
and
treason
;
or
my
countrey
sustaine
the
least
harme
by
their
vnnaturall
practises
,
I
wish
their
speedie
confusion
,
and
ouerthrow
.
For
we
may
well
say
of
them
,
as
Tullie
saide
of
Catiline
the
conspiratour
,
in
one
of
his
orations
,
In
all
,
or
most
of
these
happie
yeres
of
her
Maiesties
most
prosperous
,
&
peaceable
gouernement
,
there
hath
been
no
trayterous
practise
against
her
person
,
or
our
countrey
,
but
it
came
alwayes
from
them
,
and
by
them
;
whome
neither
shame
of
their
villanies
,
nor
feare
of
punishment
,
nor
any
sound
reason
out
of
Gods
booke
,
or
the
rule
of
true
christian
policie
could
withholde
from
pursuing
their
traiterous
purposes
,
and
practises
.
And
to
see
,
or
heare
,
that
the
royall
person
of
our
Soueraigne
Ladie
was
in
danger
,
was
pleasing
to
them
;
as
contrariwise
,
the
news
of
her
happie
escape
,
was
yrksome
;
so
that
,
where
there
is
onely
the
bare
sence
of
a
true
English
heart
,
these
Popish
Recusants
cannot
bewitch
,
or
deceaue
with
their
hypocriticall
holines
,
or
ciuill
honestie
:
and
so
I
leaue
them
.
Now
my
deare
countrymen
,
to
you
,
whome
God
hath
seasoned
with
a
better
spirite
of
knowledge
,
and
whose
hearts
he
hath
taught
to
honor
,
and
loue
your
rightfull
Soueraigne
,
and
Queene
;
and
whom
nature
it selfe
hath
instructed
to
holde
your
natiue
soyle
and
countrey
deare
vnto
you
;
and
to
haue
a
sensible
feeling
of
many
miseries
threatned
against
yourselues
,
your
wiues
,
&
children
;
plucke
vp
your
spirits
,
and
bee
couragious
in
the
Lordes
quarell
,
in
the
Queenes
quarell
,
in
your
countries
quarell
,
and
in
your
owne
quarell
;
know
,
and
acknowledge
this
common
quarell
of
GOD
,
Queene
,
and
Countrey
,
to
be
your
owne
quarel
in
deede
.
For
in
this
busie
bending
of
diuelish
wits
together
to
conspire
;
and
this
ioynt-banding
of
huge
,
and
strong
forces
to
execute
;
your
soules
are
hunted
after
,
that
they
may
bee
imprisoned
in
the
darke
dungeon
of
Popish
Idolatrie
(
which
is
the
ready
way
to
prepare
them
for
the
cheines
of
darknes
for
euer
:
)
your
bodies
are
hunted
after
,
to
be
exposed
to
their
sauage
,
and
intolerable
torments
;
and
here
with
your
wiues
to
be
deflowred
,
your
daughters
to
be
rauished
,
your
sonnes
to
bee
made
slaues
,
and
all
of
you
to
be
tyed
to
a
lingring
tormenting
life
,
or
a
bloody
cruell
death
;
your
landes
and
goods
are
hunted
after
;
not
for
ransomes
to
bee
accepted
for
your
deliuerance
out
of
their
ciuell
hands
,
but
for
prayes
,
and
rewards
to
the
tormenting
Souldier
,
and
proude
tyrannicall
Spaniard
.
Let
vs
therefore
labour
to
bee
instructed
daylie
more
and
more
in
the
knowledge
of
Gods
trueth
,
that
our
consciences
being
grounded
vppon
true
knowledge
,
wee
may
be
armed
against
all
the
subtill
sleights
of
Sathan
,
and
his
Romish
instruments
;
and
with
courage
,
and
with
boldenes
stand
to
Gods
infallible
,
and
eternall
truth
to
our
liues
ende
;
that
when
the
time
of
our
dissolution
commeth
,
we
may
enioy
the
crowne
of
eternall
glorie
;
propounded
to
,
and
prepared
for
all
those
that
make
a
blessed
entrance
into
the
profession
and
practise
of
true
religion
;
continew
therein
with
a
christian
proceeding
;
and
holde
on
with
perseuerance
to
the
end
.
Let
vs
with
all
willingnes
straine
our selues
to
our
vttermost
habilities
,
to
fight
for
God
,
for
Queene
,
for
Countrey
,
and
for
our
owne
selues
.
For
,
what
benefite
shall
we
receiue
of
our
wealth
,
if
the
rauening
Spaniard
catch
holde
on
vs
?
And
what
confort
shall
our
wealth
yeelde
vs
,
though
we
possesse
it
,
if
our
bodies
be
in
bondage
?
And
what
pleasure
can
we
take
of
our
liues
,
if
wee
see
our
wiues
,
and
daughters
rauished
,
and
defloured
,
and
our
sonnes
tyed
to
perpetuall
slauerie
.
For
although
the
ground
(
in
shewe
)
of
the
Spaniards
comming
to
inuade
vs
,
is
his
care
to
obay
the
Popes
commaundement
,
to
reduce
this
land
to
his
obedience
,
in
taking
holde
of
,
and
receauing
his
Romish
religion
,
and
gouernment
;
and
our
simple
Recusants
rae
so
sottish
,
and
so
bewitched
with
the
inchauntments
of
Popish
superstition
,
as
they
beleeue
this
to
be
true
;
and
the
rather
,
because
one
of
our
Arch-runnagate
traytors
,
sworn
to
the
Popes
pantable
,
published
a
seditious
pamphlet
,
before
the
last
inuasion
,
to
perswade
it
;
yet
if
you
will
giue
me
leaue
to
call
to
your
rememberance
the
maner
,
and
meaning
of
his
comming
into
England
,
when
hee
came
,
not
as
an
inuader
,
to
conquer
;
but
as
a
freind
,
to
fasten
a
strong
league
of
amitie
by
a
marriage
,
I
doubt
not
to
discouer
the
treacherous
crueltie
of
his
hearte
.
For
this
marriage
was
sought
for
,
and
intended
also
in
shewe
onely
to
strengthen
the
hand
of
the
Queene
of
England
,
to
bring
in
the
Romish
religion
,
and
gouernement
into
this
land
;
and
to
establish
it
with
continuance
,
with
purpose
,
and
meaning
to
adde
strength
to
all
the
corners
of
christendome
,
to
continue
poperie
where
it
was
;
and
to
bring
it
in
,
where
it
was
not
;
that
so
the
Arch-prelate
of
Rome
might
holde
the
scepters
,
and
power
of
all
princes
,
and
potentates
of
christendome
in
his
hand
,
to
dispose
at
his
pleasure
.
But
the
plots
,
and
practises
,
layed
,
and
pursued
by
the
Spanish
King
,
had
made
a
wofull
proofe
to
England
of
a
further
marke
shotte
at
(
which
was
discouered
in
a
letter
to
some
of
our
nobles
from
a
true
harted
Englishman
in
Spaine
)
had
not
God
almightie
,
in
his
riche
mercie
,
preuented
their
purposes
,
and
defeated
them
in
their
determinations
;
as
it
shall
appeare
hereafter
,
if
I
first
remember
to
you
that
it
is
recorded
of
the
Spaniard
,
that
in
dissimulation
he
surpasseth
all
nations
,
till
he
haue
attained
to
his
purpose
;
and
when
he
can
once
preuaile
,
he
goeth
beyonde
them
all
in
oppression
,
and
tyrannie
;
also
that
he
disdayneth
all
other
nations
;
and
that
in
pride
,
and
carnall
voluptuousnes
no
nation
commeth
neere
him
,
and
these
bee
his
qualities
.
Now
to
proceede
to
laye
open
the
right
marke
,
that
in
deede
hee
shotte
at
,
though
when
hee
made
waye
to
ioyne
in
marriage
with
Queene
Marie
,
hee
made
semblance
of
greate
conscience
to
Catholike
religion
,
and
greate
care
to
bring
the
whole
land
into
the
obedience
thereof
;
and
seemed
to
glorie
much
,
when
it
was
brought
to
passe
;
as
his
letter
to
his
holy
father
at
Rome
written
out
of
England
doth
make
shewe
:
wherein
he
expresseth
what
a
worthie
worke
he
had
done
,
when
he
had
drawen
the
nobles
,
and
commons
of
the
lande
to
submitte
them selues
to
his
holynes
,
as
their
cheefe
(
those
are
the
very
wordes
)
yet
little
did
the
nobles
,
and
commons
knowe
what
was
intended
towardes
them
by
this
Catholike
child
of
Rome
.
For
vnder
this
colourable
name
of
Catholike
religion
,
was
hidden
the
ambitious
humor
of
a
most
proud
vsurping
tyrant
;
whose
resolution
was
,
vppon
mature
deliberation
,
and
consultation
with
his
Machiauellian
counsellers
,
to
seeke
,
by
all
the
possible
kind
meanes
he
could
,
to
winne
the
principall
of
our
nobles
to
affect
him
,
and
in
their
affection
to
possesse
him
of
the
crowne
,
and
so
to
establish
him
in
an
absolute
power
ouer
poore
England
;
&
to
bring
this
to
passe
,
hee
decreed
to
spare
neither
cost
,
nor
kindnesse
.
If
once
hee
had
obtained
the
crowne
,
and
regall
power
into
his
clutches
,
then
(
as
in
that
letter
of
discouerie
is
layed

The
Councell
table
must
bee
filled
with
his
counsellers
;
The
hauen
townes
must
be
possessed
with
gouernours
of
his
appointing
;
Fortifications
must
be
made
by
his
direction
;
&
Souldiers
of
his
owne
must
bee
placed
in
garrison
,
at
places
most
apt
for
strength
to
himselfe
,
and
annoyance
to
this
poore
nation
;
Then
must
the
common
law
of
this
land
bee
altered
,
by
which
Iustice
is
truely
taught
to
al
sorts
;
the
Prince
to
gouerne
,
the
people
to
obay
;
the
nobles
to
liue
of
their
owne
,
with
out
wronging
the
inferiours
;
the
inferiours
to
liue
vnder
the
nobles
,
with
al
loue
,
reuerence
,
and
dutie
,
the
riche
to
dwell
amongst
the
poore
without
oppression
;
the
poore
to
dwell
with
the
rich
without
disorder
;
the
offenders
to
bee
punished
without
partialitie
;
and
the
well
disposed
to
be
defended
,
without
respect
of
persons
.
This
the
law
of
the
land
doth
offer
vnto
vs
,
to
our
comfort
;
and
from
this
he
purposed
to
make
an
exchange
to
his
Spanish
lawes
;
which
beeing
no
better
than
his
Spanish
Inquisition
(
as
in
deede
they
are
not
)
we
could
not
(
out
of
question
)
receiue
great
comforte
by
the
exchange
.
For
the
Inquisition
conuenteth
without
knowen
cause
;
compelleth
to
accuse
without
reason
;
condemneth
without
proofe
;
committeth
to
the
torture
without
colour
;
and
finally
neuer
ceasseth
till
harte
bloud
bee
sucked
out
of
such
,
as
make
their
wofull
appearance
.
Which
vnholy
Inquisition
he
did
most
sauagely
settle
in
most
partes
of
his
dominions
;
and
this
bloudie
Inquisition
would
he
not
haue
failed
to
bring
into
our
land
,
with
all
other
his
lawes
,
and
ordinances
sutable
to
the
same
.
Their
intolerable
taxes
also
we
must
haue
been
pestered
with
;
being
such
(
as
my
author
reporteth
,
who
knew
them
well
)
as
England
(
thankes
bee
to
God
)
was
neuer
yet
acquainted
with
,
neither
,
I
trust
,
euer
shal
be
.
A
tast
whereof
I
will
giue
you
,
as
,
that
for
euerie
chimnie
,
and
other
places
to
make
fyre
in
,
as
ouens
,
fornaces
,
smithes
forges
,
and
such
others
,
a
french
crowne
was
yerely
payed
to
him
.
Hee
had
also
powling
pence
for
all
manner
of
corne
,
bread
,
beefe
,
mutton
,
capon
,
pigges
,
goose
,
hennes
,
ducke
,
chickin
,
butter
,
cheese
,
egges
,
apples
,
peares
,
nuttes
,
beere
,
wine
,
and
all
other
thinges
whatsoeuer
the
people
feedeth
vpon
.
Yea
no
farmer
,
yeoman
,
or
husbandman
durst
eat
a
capon
in
his
house
,
if
his
friende
came
to
him
.
For
if
he
did
,
it
must
cost
him
sixe
shillings
eight
pence
though
the
capon
was
not
worth
twelue
pence
and
so
ioties
quoties
.
These
bee
the
benefites
,
and
blessinges
,
that
this
Catholike
kinge
sought
to
bring
in
hither
by
this
absolute
authoritie
sought
for
.
My
author
doth
further
vnfolde
his
treacherous
purpose
towardes
this
land
,
by
discouering
vpon
his
own
knowledge
,
and
hearing
,
this
kings
intention
to
be
,
by
little
and
little
to
roote
out
the
nobilitie
:
to
keepe
the
commons
in
beggerie
,
and
not
to
suffer
one
to
liue
heere
,
that
was
borne
in
twentie
yeares
before
;
but
either
to
destroy
them
,
or
to
make
them
slaues
amongst
the
Moores
.
The
colour
whereof
was
,
because
they
were
borne
out
of
the
faith
of
the
Catholike
church
of
Rome
:
wherein
he
shewed
a
very
conscionable
regarde
of
their
soules
health
,
and
saluation
,
by
killing
them
,
before
he
sought
to
conuert
them
;
or
by
sending
them
where
no
instruction
was
to
be
had
for
them
.
And
,
to
make
vp
the
full
measure
of
al
impietie
,
the
faster
to
settle
his
crowne
vpon
his
head
from
remouing
(
if
he
had
gotten
it
)
hee
layed
his
plotte
to
destroye
out
deare
soueraigne
Lady
,
Queene
Elizabeth
:
hauing
decreed
with
himselfe
,
that
neither
shee
nor
any
of
that
cursed
nation
(
so
hee
tearmed
it
,
and
yet
the
Popes
holynes
had
absolued
it
)
should
gouerne
England
any
more
.
But
blessed
be
God
,
who
hath
blessed
vs
with
the
life
,
and
raigne
of
our
blessed
Queene
;
who
,
(
I
trust
)
shall
liue
to
giue
him
such
a
deadly
blowe
,
as
neither
his
cursed
selfe
,
nor
any
of
his
cursed
nation
,
(
iustly
so
to
bee
called
,
because
the
Pope
,
that
cursed
man
of
sinne
,
hath
blessed
them
)
shall
euer
see
the
day
to
rule
in
England
.
Whiles
this
plot
was
layde
,
and
the
practise
was
in
hand
,
to
set
the
crowne
vpon
the
Spaniards
head
,
the
Spaniards
them selues
did
,
in
my
authors
hearing
(
as
he
reporteth
)
often
curse
the
time
,
that
euer
their
kinge
maryed
Queene
Marie
,
vnlesse
they
might
get
the
crowne
;
but
if
that
might
bee
brought
to
passe
(
which
was
ment
by
making
of
the
marriage
)
they
should
then
do
well
enough
.
Thus
you
see
that
vnder
the
colour
of
this
marriage
,
saluation
of
soules
seemed
to
be
sought
for
;
but
in
deede
destruction
both
of
our
bodies
and
soules
was
pursued
:
Loue
to
the
nobles
,
and
our
whole
nation
,
was
manifested
in
shewe
,
but
in
substance
,
the
ruine
both
of
nobles
,
and
nation
was
intended
:
Strength
was
saide
to
be
added
by
this
match
to
our
kingdome
;
but
it
is
apparant
they
sought
to
strengthen
them selues
,
by
weakening
vs
,
and
our
kingdome
.
For
without
regarde
of
sexe
,
age
,
or
degree
,
all
were
destined
to
slauerie
,
and
bondage
at
the
least
;
howsoeuer
they
escaped
with
life
.
To
knitt
vp
this
;
If
marriage
(
the
strongest
bonde
of
amitie
to
a
true
religious
christian
heart
)
could
not
drawe
the
least
sparke
of
true
loue
from
him
to
this
noble
Queene
,
who
so
louingly
made
choice
of
him
to
be
her
husband
;
nor
the
honorable
acceptation
of
him
by
the
nobles
,
could
worke
any
sound
loue
in
him
towardes
them
;
nor
his
comming
in
tearmes
of
loue
to
our
countrie
,
coulde
yeeld
better
fruites
,
but
to
seeke
the
ruine
,
and
destruction
thereof
;
what
shall
our
deare
soueraigne
Queene
Elizabeth
,
her
nobles
,
and
all
her
people
looke
for
now
at
his
handes
,
comming
in
open
hostilitie
,
with
banner
displayed
,
shippes
manned
,
swordes
drawne
,
ordinance
charged
,
myndes
fully
bent
to
roote
out
Queene
,
nobles
,
and
people
;
and
to
make
this
flourishing
kingdome
a
praie
to
his
ambitious
bloudie
desire
?
I
looke
for
little
soundnes
from
those
,
that
are
fugitiues
of
our
nation
;
but
I
could
wish
all
English
home
dwellers
should
be
so
farre
from
all
sencelesse
feeling
of
their
countries
miserie
(
wherein
their
owne
share
is
,
of
what
profession
so
euer
they
be
)
as
to
be
not
onely
free
from
treacherous
combining
with
the
enemye
;
but
also
forward
to
stretch
forth
their
handes
to
resist
his
force
.
I
would
haue
none
of
Metius
Suffetius
his
mynde
amongst
vs
;
who
beeing
required
by
Tullus
Hostilius
,
to
ayde
him
in
his
warre
against
his
enemies
,
he
promised
to
come
(
because
he
durst
not
deny
him
)
but
he
stood
a
loofe
off
,
and
beheld
the
fight
,
forbearing
to
ioyne
to
either
partie
,
till
he
might
see
what
waye
the
victorie
would
go
.
But
Hostilius
perceiuing
his
cunning
,
and
falsehood
,
caused
him
to
be
drawne
in
peeces
with
wylde
horses
.
You
maie
reade
also
in
the
booke
of
Iudges
,
that
Meroz
was
cursed
for
not
helping
in
the
warre
against
Sisera
;
and
Jael
,
for
her
forwardnes
therein
was
blessed
.
And
surely
the
curse
of
the
Almightie
must
needs
light
vpon
al
such
English-men
,
as
will
either
by
falsehood
betraye
their
Queene
,
&
countrie
,
for
loue
to
Rome
and
Spayne
;
or
bee
colde
in
prayer
to
God
,
or
faint
in
courage
against
the
enemie
,
or
pinching
in
purse
,
to
make
all
requisite
prouision
for
the
defence
of
their
Soueraigne
,
and
countrie
,
against
Rome
,
and
Spayne
.
Neutralitie
,
in
matters
concerning
christianitie
;
or
loyaltie
,
sauoureth
neither
of
a
true
hearted
christian
,
nor
subiect
.
And
Solon
made
a
lawe
,
that
in
any
stirre
,
or
tumult
,
all
the
Citizens
should
stand
on
one
side
,
or
other
;
he
would
haue
no
neuters
amongst
them
.
Our
Soueraigne
,
and
Countrey
hath
been
assaulted
many
wayes
;
and
they
both
(
through
Gods
great
goodnes
)
haue
escaped
many
dangers
;
And
surely
it
behoueth
vs
to
know
,
and
vnderstand
,
that
a
danger
past
requireth
hearty
,
and
continuall
thankes
to
be
giuen
to
the
author
thereof
;
and
a
perill
depending
,
exacteth
both
prayer
,
and
prouidence
.
It
is
true
,
that
wee
all
,
euery
mothers
childe
of
vs
,
are
very
slacke
both
in
prayer
,
and
thankesgiuing
.
Yet
we
are
more
ready
to
beg
of
God
those
things
we
want
,
than
to
giue
him
thankes
for
that
we
haue
already
receaued
.
Notwithstanding
,
as
Augustine
saith
,
Non
est
dignus
dandis
,
qui
non
est
gratus
de
datis
.
Wee
are
easilie
intreated
in
sicknes
to
praye
for
health
;
in
danger
to
pray
for
deliuerance
;
and
in
any
aduersitie
to
cry
for
helpe
;
but
how
soone
sicknes
is
forgotten
,
when
health
is
restored
;
How
easily
dangers
fall
out
of
memorie
,
when
deliuerance
is
obtained
;
How
little
aduersitie
is
thought
of
,
when
helpe
is
once
graunted
;
many
examples
doe
proue
.
It
is
recorded
for
our
learning
,
and
warning
,
that
tenne
Lepars
were
clensed
by
our
Sauiour
Christ
;
but
onely
one
came
backe
,
to
giue
thankes
.
Againe
wee
reade
that
the
Israelites
were
in
miserable
bondage
vnder
cruel
Pharaoh
;
and
whilest
the
crosse
was
vpon
them
,
they
cryed
hard
for
help
,
and
deliuerance
;
but
being
released
of
their
miserie
,
and
deliuered
from
the
intolerable
burdens
of
Egypt
;
they
are
so
farre
from
being
thankfull
to
God
,
that
they
fall
to
murmur
against
God
;
and
in
steede
of
seruing
him
,
that
had
saued
them
,
they
fall
to
Idolatrie
,
and
false
worship
.
Let
this
warne
vs
to
beware
we
be
not
slacke
in
thankfulnes
to
our
God
,
who
hath
bestowed
so
many
blessings
and
benefits
vpon
vs
,
and
hath
freed
vs
from
many
perils
,
by
so
many
strange
deliuerances
.
For
thankefulnes
for
a
benefite
receiued
,
draweth
on
a
new
blessing
.
And
if
euer
this
thankfulnes
were
needfull
to
appeare
in
vs
,
it
is
now
,
when
,
beyond
the
policie
and
wit
of
man
,
the
life
of
our
gracious
Queene
hath
been
sundrie
times
preserued
;
and
in
her
Gods
true
religion
,
our
owne
liues
,
and
our
countries
liberty
both
in
soule
and
bodie
prolonged
.
Let
vs
know
for
truth
,
that
our
God
hath
not
bound
himselfe
to
continue
a
God
of
fauour
,
and
defence
to
vs
,
vnles
wee
continue
thankfull
to
him
.
Therefore
with
the
holy
Prophet
Dauid
let
vs
say
,
Benedictus
Dominus
,
qui
non
dedit
nos
in
captionem
dentibus
eorum
.
But
is
this
enough
?
surely
no.
For
if
our
thankfulnes
come
from
a
feeling
heart
,
as
it
ought
,
it
will
not
onely
sound
in
words
,
but
will
also
shew
it self
in
action
;
and
that
in
our
continuall
care
,
and
endeuour
,
both
by
practise
&
paines
to
seeke
the
glorie
of
God
,
and
the
good
of
his
Church
.
The
prosperitie
and
welfare
thereof
ought
to
be
more
deare
vnto
vs
,
than
our
own
liues
.
For
no
Common-wealth
hath
promise
from
God
of
peace
,
and
tranquilitie
,
but
in
the
flourishing
of
religion
,
and
true
beautie
of
the
Church
:
and
in
deede
herevpon
the
saluation
of
our
soules
,
and
the
safetie
of
our
Queene
doth
depende
:
and
it
is
most
certaine
,
that
if
the
Queene
bee
in
daunger
,
we
cannot
looke
to
sit
safe
.
I
finde
amongst
the
learned
,
that
sinceritie
of
religion
,
and
loue
of
the
people
,
are
two
especiall
props
and
pillers
of
the
state
of
a
Prince
.
For
sincere
religion
teacheth
to
loue
soundly
;
and
sound
loue
quencheth
all
sparkes
of
disloyaltie
.
Therfore
I
hold
it
for
certaine
,
that
religion
,
and
the
Queenes
safetie
cannot
bee
seuered
.
For
if
religion
flourish
,
the
Queene
must
needes
be
safe
:
and
,
if
the
Queene
bee
safe
,
religion
must
needs
flourish
:
and
,
as
I
thinke
them
to
deale
vnsoundly
,
that
seeke
to
settle
her
safetie
,
without
care
of
religion
;
so
must
I
deeme
them
to
deale
hypocritically
,
that
speake
much
of
religion
,
without
care
of
her
safetie
.
For
he
that
shall
carrie
a
right
and
sound
care
for
Queene
Elizabeths
safetie
,
must
first
loue
religion
,
and
feare
GOD
:
according
to
that
,
which
Constantius
the
Emperour
sayd
,
who
(
grieuing
at
his
peoples
reuolt
from
true
religion
,
vpon
triall
that
he
made
of
them
)
plainly
protested
,
They
that
will
not
be
true
to
God
,
can
neuer
bee
true
to
man
.
And
therefore
such
of
them
as
had
any
office
,
he
putteth
them
out
;
such
of
them
as
were
neere
about
him
,
he
displaced
,
and
freed
himselfe
from
the
daunger
of
such
hollow-hearted
subiects
,
and
seruants
.
Religion
then
is
the
true
guide
to
euery
mans
conscience
,
and
holdeth
euery
mans
conscience
within
the
compasse
of
true
obedience
;
and
this
obedience
containeth
euery
good
subiect
within
the
limits
of
true
loue
and
feare
:
and
where
these
two
meete
together
,
they
make
a
sweete
harmonie
in
the
heart
of
euery
true
subiect
.
For
loue
nourisheth
all
care
to
please
,
and
obey
;
and
such
feare
expelleth
all
disposition
to
offend
;
and
both
ioyne
together
with
a
feeling
consent
,
to
yeeld
continuall
thanks
to
the
almightie
,
for
deliuering
our
Soueraigne
from
daunger
,
and
to
pray
daily
and
hourely
to
his
maiestie
,
that
hee
will
in
mercie
protect
vs
still
.
This
perill
depending
,
it
behoueth
vs
to
bee
prouident
.
For
as
warre
is
denounced
,
and
threatned
from
forraine
parts
;
so
conspiracies
lye
and
lurk
closely
at
home
in
our
owne
bosomes
.
Foris
they
prepare
;
intus
they
conspire
,
and
all
to
giue
a
deadly
blowe
to
the
state
we
liue
in
;
and
to
the
person
,
whom
(
next
vnder
God
)
wee
liue
by
.
For
I
say
it
againe
,
and
I
cannot
say
it
too
often
,
these
preparers
abroade
,
and
these
conspirers
at
home
,
shoote
al
at
one
marke
:
our
religion
they
would
alter
,
&
thereby
bring
our
consciences
into
thraldome
:
our
gouernment
they
would
change
,
and
thereby
bring
our
bodies
into
slauerie
:
and
,
to
effect
these
the
more
easily
,
the
life
of
our
sacred
Soueraigne
they
would
shorten
,
and
thereby
bring
all
miserie
and
mischiefe
vpon
vs
.
These
bee
high
poynts
,
and
of
great
consequence
.
For
who
would
not
rather
dye
,
than
lose
the
libertie
of
his
conscience
?
Who
would
not
depart
with
any
thing
that
hee
hath
,
to
preuent
the
bondage
of
his
bodie
?
and
who
would
spare
the
best
blood
in
his
bodie
(
much
lesse
his
purse
)
to
redeeme
all
danger
from
his
religious
,
louing
,
and
lawfull
Soueraigne
?
I
doubt
not
(
deare
countrimen
)
but
that
you
are
men
of
wisedome
,
and
can
easily
conceiue
what
daunger
wee
stand
in
,
by
that
hath
bin
set
down
before
.
You
are
men
of
iudgement
,
and
therefore
can
easily
consider
,
what
furniture
is
fit
for
the
strengthening
of
vs
,
to
preuent
such
a
danger
(
knowing
treasure
to
bee
the
finewes
of
warre
)
and
you
are
men
religious
,
louing
,
and
loyall
;
and
therefore
will
not
refuse
to
straine
your
purses
farre
,
rather
than
the
religion
of
our
God
,
the
libertie
of
our
Countrie
,
and
the
person
of
our
Soueraigne
shall
be
exposed
to
the
desire
of
Popish
Idolaters
,
Spanish
tyrannies
,
and
bloody
traytors
.
It
is
no
time
for
vs
now
to
plead
pouertie
;
the
cause
requireth
liberalitie
;
and
we
must
bee
liberall
;
the
life
of
religion
,
of
Queene
,
and
countrie
,
is
at
the
stake
.
He
that
is
sicke
of
a
dangerous
disease
,
looketh
not
into
his
abilitie
what
hee
can
spare
;
but
looketh
into
the
necessitie
of
his
case
,
what
hee
must
spare
,
to
worke
himselfe
recouery
.
And
in
this
case
hee
that
would
spare
any
cost
,
al
men
would
hold
him
a
very
sauage
,
and
vnnaturall
miser
.
I
hope
therfore
being
faithfull
Christians
,
loyall
subiects
,
and
true
hearted
Englishmen
;
the
religion
,
and
trueth
of
God
,
the
libertie
of
our
countrie
,
and
the
safetie
of
our
Soueraigne
is
of
greater
price
with
vs
,
than
ten
thousande
liues
;
and
none
of
vs
will
make
dainty
to
spend
the
last
drop
of
blood
in
our
bodies
,
to
ransome
any
of
these
;
much
lesse
therefore
will
he
spare
to
ransacke
the
bottome
of
our
purses
,
to
adde
strength
to
preuent
the
danger
.
Peny
thirst
in
this
case
may
bring
pound
perill
:
and
(
to
speake
plainly
)
with
what
confort
can
a
religious
Englishman
liue
;
I
saye
,
a
religious
man
:
for
I
speake
not
of
the
superstitious
Papist
,
the
godlesse
Atheist
,
nor
the
schismatical
Brownist
)
when
he
shall
lose
the
libertie
of
his
conscience
?
with
what
ioy
shall
a
man
enioy
his
substance
,
when
he
is
brought
into
bondage
and
slauerie
?
and
what
safetie
can
there
bee
to
a
right
Englishman
,
when
Queene
Elizabeth
is
in
danger
?
Seeing
then
they
seeke
to
bring
their
Popish
Idolatrie
to
vs
againe
from
Rome
,
wee
must
seeke
to
entertaine
,
and
holde
fast
the
religion
of
Christ
Iesus
sent
to
vs
from
heauen
;
and
seeing
they
seeke
to
tye
vs
againe
in
the
chaines
of
superstitious
Romish
bondage
,
we
must
seeke
to
holde
fast
,
and
increase
the
libertie
we
enioy
,
in
the
sinceritie
of
Christ
his
gospell
;
seeing
Rome
,
and
Romanists
seeke
enuiously
,
and
trayterously
the
ruine
,
and
ouerthrow
of
our
Queene
,
and
countrey
;
wee
must
seeke
religiously
by
obedience
,
and
assistance
,
to
vpholde
,
&
maintaine
the
right
,
quiet
,
and
prosperitie
of
both
.
It
is
not
in
vs
,
or
our
power
,
to
effect
this
;
but
it
becommeth
vs
to
shew
our
forwardnes
,
and
willingnes
to
effect
it
;
our
lands
,
goods
,
and
liuings
must
not
be
respected
,
in
regarde
of
this
;
all
prayer
,
all
prouidence
,
and
all
endeuour
that
can
be
,
is
little
enough
to
follow
,
and
finish
so
holy
,
and
heauenly
a
worke
;
and
this
is
our
speciall
comfort
,
the
Lorde
himselfe
is
on
our
side
,
for
it
is
his
owne
cause
,
who
is
of
power
sufficiently
able
to
defend
vs
;
who
in
his
mercy
is
forward
,
and
willing
to
defend
vs
:
and
if
wee
can
call
vpon
him
in
faith
,
and
will
walke
before
him
in
feare
,
and
trembling
,
he
will
neuer
fayle
vs
.
For
The
Lord
is
nigh
vnto
all
those
,
that
call
vpon
him
in
faith
,
and
veritie
.
Asah
,
and
al
Iudah
,
the
same
may
be
saide
vnto
our
Soueraigne
,
and
vnto
all
England
;
that
the
Lord
is
with
her
,
and
with
vs
,
whilest
wee
bee
with
him
;
and
if
wee
seeke
him
,
he
will
be
found
of
vs
;
and
if
we
forsake
him
,
he
will
forsake
vs
.
Which
being
vttered
by
this
Prophet
to
them
,
they
make
speede
to
turne
from
their
euill
waies
;
they
haste
hartely
to
call
vpon
the
Lord
;
both
king
and
people
turne
;
both
king
and
people
pray
;
and
they
all
ioyne
in
offering
the
sacrifices
allowed
,
and
looked
for
in
those
times
,
and
make
a
couenant
to
seeke
the
Lord
God
of
their
fathers
,
with
all
their
heart
,
and
with
all
their
soule
;
and
a
law
is
set
,
that
whosoeuer
will
not
seeke
the
Lord
of
Israel
,
shal
be
slaine
,
whether
he
were
small
or
great
,
man
or
woman
;
and
they
take
a
solemne
oth
to
performe
this
to
the
Lord
with
a
lowd
voyce
,
with
showting
,
with
trumpets
,
and
with
cornets
:
and
it
is
sayd
in
the
text
following
,
that
all
Iudah
reioyced
at
the
oth
.
For
they
had
sworne
to
the
Lord
with
all
their
heart
,
and
sought
him
with
a
whole
desire
.
The
blessing
also
that
followed
this
harkening
to
the
Prophet
,
(
bringing
foorth
so
religious
an
obedience
to
his
words
)
is
set
downe
.
For
it
is
sayd
,
The
Lorde
was
found
of
them
,
and
gaue
them
rest
round
about
.
Here
is
a
blessed
watch-word
word
from
the
Prophet
;
a
blessed
obedience
both
from
king
&
people
;
a
blessed
comfort
sent
from
God
;
&
this
happie
issue
followed
;
namely
,
the
ouerthrow
giuen
by
Asah
to
the
Ethiopians
,
who
was
set
vpon
by
Zerah
of
Ethiopia
with
an
hoast
of
ten
hundred
thousand
,
&
three
hundred
chariots
(
as
it
is
recorded
in
the
former
chapter
)
and
it
is
there
said
,
that
Asah
did
goe
out
before
him
,
and
set
his
battaile
;
and
Asah
lift
vp
his
voyce
vnto
the
Lord
his
God
,
and
sayd
,
O
Lord
,
it
is
nothing
with
thee
to
helpe
with
many
,
or
with
no
power
:
helpe
vs
,
ô
Lord
our
God
;
for
we
rest
on
thee
,
and
in
thy
name
are
we
come
against
this
multitude
.
O
Lord
,
thou
art
our
God
,
let
not
man
preuaile
against
thee
.
And
the
text
sayth
,
that
The
Lord
smote
the
Egyptians
before
Asah
,
and
before
Iudah
,
and
the
Ethiopians
fled
.
Here
is
a
liuely
paterne
of
our
state
and
cause
.
Asah
destroyeth
Idolatrie
,
and
banisheth
false
worship
:
he
is
maligned
by
the
Idolatrous
Ethiopians
,
who
send
out
forces
against
him
;
he
prepareth
,
and
setteth
out
against
them
;
he
putteth
his
whole
and
onely
trust
in
the
Lord
;
he
prayeth
vnto
him
;
the
Lord
heareth
him
;
the
Lord
scattereth
his
enemies
,
and
giueth
him
the
victorie
.
Is
not
this
the
very
cause
of
our
liege
and
Soueraigne
?
who
hath
banished
Popish
Idolatrie
,
and
hath
established
the
true
,
and
sincere
worship
of
God
;
and
for
this
is
maligned
by
the
Anti-christian
Pope
,
by
the
ambitious
King
of
Spayne
,
and
by
al
the
popish
confederates
of
Christendome
.
And
did
not
Spayne
man
out
a
huge
Nauie
by
sea
vpon
England
,
as
the
Ethiopian
did
send
out
an
armie
by
land
,
to
set
vpon
Iudah
?
They
prayed
,
and
we
prayed
;
the
Lord
heard
them
,
and
the
Lord
heard
vs
:
the
Ethiopian
armie
the
Lord
of
hoasts
discomforted
,
and
the
Spanish
Nauie
the
Lord
of
hoasts
did
disperse
and
ouerthrow
.
Vpon
this
victorie
the
Prophet
Azariah
warned
Asah
,
and
all
Judah
;
and
both
king
and
people
hearkened
and
obeyed
:
and
since
our
victorie
,
the
Prophets
and
preachers
of
our
time
haue
often
warned
vs
;
and
it
becommeth
vs
to
hearken
and
obey
:
which
if
we
do
,
then
must
we
make
the
like
couenant
with
our
God
that
they
did
;
ioyne
in
the
like
oth
that
they
did
,
and
ioy
when
wee
haue
done
it
,
as
they
did
.
Then
shall
the
same
blessing
bee
promised
and
performed
vnto
vs
,
that
was
vnto
them
;
The
Lord
will
be
found
of
vs
,
and
will
giue
vs
rest
round
about
vs
.
And
if
the
Lord
for
his
owne
glorie
,
and
our
triall
,
giue
a
way
to
Rome
and
Spayne
,
to
set
vpon
vs
againe
(
as
they
bragge
,
and
threaten
that
they
will
)
let
vs
beleeue
with
Asah
,
that
the
Lord
is
of
power
sufficient
to
ouerthrowe
great
and
huge
armies
with
a
smal
number
;
and
let
vs
pray
to
him
with
Asah
,
that
he
will
stand
with
vs
,
and
for
vs
,
in
the
day
of
battaile
;
and
then
,
no
doubt
,
neither
Spayne
,
Pope
,
nor
Diuell
shall
haue
power
to
preuaile
against
vs
.
I
finde
it
recorded
,
that
King
Henrie
the
8.
her
Maiesties
most
noble
father
,
in
the
19.
yeare
of
his
raigne
,
(
before
the
Lorde
had
touched
the
eyes
of
his
heart
,
and
pulled
away
the
scales
that
darkened
his
spirituall
sight
)
shewed
such
zeale
to
that
superstitious
religion
of
Rome
,
which
in
the
time
of
his
blindnes
he
professed
,
that
vpon
warre
threatned
,
and
pursued
by
the
Emperour
against
Rome
,
for
the
sacking
thereof
,
he
suffered
the
Cardinall
to
inioyne
his
whole
land
and
kingdome
,
that
solemne
Processions
,
and
fasts
should
bee
solemnelie
helde
(
after
their
blind
maner
)
for
the
deliuerance
of
Rome
from
his
ruine
intended
towards
it
;
in
so
much
as
this
one
Article
specially
is
added
to
their
Letanie
,
Sancta
Maria
,
&c.
ora
pro
Clemente
Papa
.
Verily
I
could
wish
that
not
onely
commandements
,
and
examples
Canonicall
out
of
the
book
of
God
,
(
whereof
we
haue
plentie
)
should
of
conscience
moue
vs
to
such
holy
exercises
in
these
times
,
because
our
sins
haue
prouoked
the
iudgement
of
God
;
but
also
that
this
zeale
without
knowledge
in
a
false
religion
,
should
euen
for
shame
incite
,
and
stir
vs
vp
with
seruent
zeale
to
seeke
the
glorie
of
our
God
;
and
by
such
godly
religious
necessarie
exercises
to
humble
our selues
before
the
throne
of
his
maiestie
,
to
beg
either
release
of
these
troubles
threatned
against
vs
,
and
hastening
vpon
vs
;
or
his
arme
of
assistance
to
defend
vs
from
the
furie
,
and
deliuer
vs
from
the
danger
.
For
if
they
could
be
drawne
in
a
superstitious
blinde
zeale
,
to
fall
to
their
superstitious
praiers
for
a
priest
;
I
see
not
how
,
with
a
good
conscience
,
we
can
be
slacke
to
fall
to
religious
and
harty
prayers
to
our
God
,
for
our
Christian
religious
Prince
.
If
they
could
be
so
forward
in
England
to
fall
to
prayers
for
an
Italian
stranger
;
much
more
ought
wee
in
England
for
our
naturally
borne
Soueraigne
.
If
they
were
so
readie
to
pray
to
God
for
him
,
to
whom
they
could
not
subiect
themselues
,
and
continue
in
a
true
,
and
holie
obedience
to
their
God
;
much
more
should
wee
haste
to
runne
to
powre
forth
our
prayers
to
the
Almightie
for
her
,
to
whom
wee
ought
to
performe
all
obedience
;
vnlesse
we
will
shew
our selues
to
rebell
,
and
wage
warre
against
God
himselfe
.
I
will
enlarge
this
no
further
,
but
leaue
it
to
the
religious
care
of
such
as
carrie
the
chief
place
in
our
Church
,
who
(
I
doubt
not
)
will
play
Azarias
part
in
warning
our
Asah
;
and
I
assure
my selfe
,
our
Asah
will
hearken
to
it
,
and
her
whole
people
will
follow
with
willing
and
most
ioyfull
hearts
:
which
God
grant
,
that
so
this
extraordinarie
attempt
threatned
,
may
haue
such
extraordinarie
exercises
of
fasting
and
prayer
,
as
were
(
with
the
fruite
of
a
blessed
successe
)
vsed
in
the
yeare
1588.
when
the
Spanyards
last
attempted
inuasion
;
and
those
not
formall
,
but
zealous
;
euen
such
as
may
instruct
the
conscience
,
to
humble
the
heart
,
to
acknowledge
the
sinnes
committed
,
to
meete
the
Lord
by
repentance
;
and
then
no
doubt
the
Lorde
will
heare
vs
,
and
our
victorie
will
follow
.
God
giue
vs
repentant
hearts
for
our
sinnes
,
carefull
and
sincere
hearts
to
our
Soueraigne
,
louing
hearts
to
our
country
,
and
charitable
harts
one
towardes
an
other
.
No
doubt
then
,
out
religion
shal
flourish
,
our
Soueraigne
shall
liue
long
,
and
our
countrie
shall
euer
prosper
,
maugre
the
malice
,
and
practises
of
all
Tyrants
and
Traytors
.
For
this
ought
wee
all
to
pray
;
and
for
this
all
,
that
truly
feare
the
Lorde
,
and
sincerely
affect
his
truth
,
and
gospell
,
will
daylie
,
and
hartely
pray
.
But
for
this
the
superstitious
papist
hath
no
will
to
pray
;
and
the
scorning
Atheist
knoweth
not
how
to
pray
.
From
the
malice
,
and
madnes
of
both
these
,
God
almightie
deliuer
her
Maiestie
,
and
this
flourishing
kingdome
;
that
God
,
and
his
truth
may
be
wholly
,
and
only
reuerenced
,
and
regarded
;
and
such
,
as
oppose
them selues
against
him
,
either
by
corrupting
his
religion
,
or
flatly
denying
him
,
and
al
religion
,
may
either
by
seueritie
of
lawe
be
corrected
,
and
reformed
,
or
else
by
christian
iustice
be
remoued
from
amongst
Gods
people
;
that
our
English
soyle
may
not
be
stayned
with
blasphemous
Papists
,
or
prophane
Atheists
.
Thus
hauing
aduentured
to
make
this
rude
collection
of
a
matter
most
necessarie
to
be
vnderstoode
,
and
thought
of
,
by
al
true
christian
harted
English-men
;
I
will
knit
it
vp
with
this
earnest
request
to
al
my
countrimen
,
that
my
endeuour
may
be
accepted
,
beause
I
haue
vndertaken
it
of
loue
;
that
my
defects
may
be
borne
withall
,
because
my
heart
carrieth
a
good
meaning
;
and
that
the
truth
of
the
matters
herein
conteyned
may
receaue
no
discredit
through
my
particular
rudenes
in
the
collecting
;
nor
the
cause
it selfe
(
requiring
a
speciall
,
and
great
regarde
)
stand
subiect
to
any
disgrace
by
want
of
good
methode
in
mee
to
dispose
it
.
This
obtayned
,
I
desire
no
more
,
but
wish
the
growing
of
Gods
truth
,
and
religion
amongst
vs
,
by
mightie
increases
;
the
prolonging
of
our
deare
Soueraignes
dayes
with
bodily
health
;
and
home
quiet
,
and
the
preseruation
of
this
little
Iland
of
England
from
Popish
ignorance
,
forraine
inuasion
,
and
home
treason
.
God
onely
can
worke
this
;
and
to
God
onely
I
pray
for
this
;
and
vnto
God
alone
I
commend
his
owne
cause
,
which
is
,
religion
,
the
safetie
of
his
annoynted
(
by
whome
,
as
the
meane
,
Religion
standeah
with
vs
)
and
the
defence
of
our
Countrie
,
which
,
without
religion
,
and
her
Maiesties
safetie
,
cannot
long
prosper
