GOD
placeth
Kings
in
their
Kingdoms
,
and
he
alone
will
haue
the
dissoluing
of
them
.
If
Princes
be
good
,
let
vs
be
thankfull
to
God
for
them
:
if
they
be
tyrannous
,
let
vs
looke
into
our
sinnes
;
for
God
sendeth
Tyrants
,
to
punish
the
sinnes
of
the
wicked
.
Therefore
,
whether
Princes
be
good
or
bad
,
let
subiects
be
obedient
,
lest
(
for
their
disobedience
,
God
take
away
the
good
,
and
double
the
tyrannie
of
the
bad
.
Then
,
I
wonder
,
why
men
are
so
bewitched
with
the
inticements
of
the
Deuill
,
to
lay
violent
hands
vpon
the
Lords
Anoynted
,
knowing
,
that
the
reward
of
such
enterprises
,
is
shame
and
confusion
.
Wherefore
let
all
men
consider
this
,
that
God
by
sundrie
examples
preserueth
the
innocent
,
from
the
violent
hands
of
the
wicked
,
euen
in
the
pride
and
greatest
hope
of
their
purposes
.
Haman
erected
a
gallows
for
Mardocheus
the
Iew
;
and
he
and
his
ten
sonnes
suffred
therevpon
.
The
false
Iudges
had
got
sentence
of
death
against
chaste
Susanna
:
but
by
diuine
prouidence
,
the
stones
dashed
out
their
owne
braines
.
But
where
the
practise
tendeth
to
the
murther
of
Anoynted
Princes
,
the
odiousnes
thereof
so
highly
offendeth
the
Maiesty
of
God
,
as
he
hath
defended
euen
notable
Tyrants
,
from
the
murthering
swords
of
Traytours
.
As
for
example
:
Commodus
was
a
wicked
Emperour
,
and
to
kill
him
,
the
Traitor
Quintianus
wayted
at
his
chamber
This
the
Senate
sendeth
thee
.
By
which
fore-warning
,
Quintianus
was
stayd
,
and
the
Emperour
escaped
vnhurt
.
If
God
plucked
wit
and
prudence
from
Traytors
,
that
purposed
to
kill
such
notable
Tyrants
,
as
this
was
,
it
is
constantly
to
bee
beleeued
,
that
with
the
Shield
of
his
strength
,
he
wil
defend
righteous
Princes
,
amongst
whom
our
most
gracious
King
is
crowned
with
the
soueraigne
renowne
of
vertue
:
in
which
dignity
the
King
of
Kings
long
continue
his
Maiestie
.
The
murther
of
a
Prince
is
so
odious
,
as
euen
nature
it selfe
crieth
out
against
it
.
King
Croesus
had
a
young
sonne
,
that
from
his
birth
was
dumbe●
and
yet
,
when
one
of
King
Cyrus
soldiers
(
taking
him
for
a
common
person
)
was
ready
to
kil
him
,
the
Infant
cryed
out
,
O
,
kill
him
not
;
for
he
is
the
King
my
father
.
Also
I
haue
read
of
a
stranger
matter
;
namely
,
of
a
Kings
sonne
that
brake
forth
of
his
mothers
wombe
,
to
giue
his
father
warning
of
his
enemies
;
&
presently
after
his
birth
,
cryed
out
,
I
am
borne
in
a
wofull
houre
,
to
be
the
messenger
of
no
better
tidings
,
then
that
my
father
is
in
present
danger
,
so
lose
both
his
life
and
kingdome
.
Which
being
spoken
,
the
Infant
presently
dyed
.
We
hereby
perceiue
,
how
the
person
of
an
anoynted
Prince
is
so
sacred
,
as
nature
maketh
a
passage
for
sucking
babes
and
dumbe
persons
,
to
deliuer
the
same
from
danger
;
and
withall
,
the
Traytor
is
so
open
to
destruction
,
as
the
Preacher
saith
to
the
Traytour
,
A
Bird
of
the
ayre
shall
bewray
thy
voyce
,
and
with
her
feathers
shall
discouer
thy
words
.
Korah
,
Dathan
,
and
Abiram
,
they
,
and
all
that
they
had
,
went
downe
quicke
into
hell
,
because
of
their
rebellion
.
And
certainly
,
whosoeuer
marketh
the
sequel
of
treason
,
shall
find
a
hundred
examples
to
one
,
to
proue
the
end
of
Traytors
to
be
most
miserable
.
By
Statute
law
,
it
is
petty
treason
for
a
seruant
to
murther
his
master
,
being
but
a
subiect
.
How
detestable
treason
is
it
then
,
for
a
sworne
seruant
,
to
lay
violent
hands
on
his
anoynted
Prince
?
The
offence
being
in
the
extremest
degree
of
sinnes
,
the
punishment
ought
to
be
according
to
the
seuerest
censure
of
iustice
.
Euery
mans
house
well
gouerned
,
resembleth
a
Common
wealth
,
wherein
seruants
ought
to
liue
in
the
awe
and
subiection
of
subiects
.
But
the
wicked
policy
of
men
hath
alwayes
bene
such
,
as
where
open
power
was
too
weake
,
ambition
,
enuy
,
and
money
,
allured
the
seruants
of
Emperours
&
Kings
,
and
men
of
all
estates
,
to
lay
violent
hands
on
their
masters
,
and
to
betray
them
to
death
.
Iudas
,
one
of
the
Apostles
,
betrayed
our
Sauiour
Iesus
into
the
hands
of
the
Iewes
.
King
Alexander
was
poysoned
by
his
Physicion
.
The
death
of
the
Emperour
Commodus
,
was
compassed
by
the
practise
of
his
owne
sister
.
Many
haue
had
their
bane
by
their
wiues
;
some
by
their
sonnes
:
but
innumerable
haue
beene
destroyed
by
the
treason
of
their
seruants
.
But
let
all
good
subiects
,
to
their
comfort
,
and
Traytors
,
to
their
confusion
,
know
,
that
the
wicked
dig
a
pit
,
and
fall
therein
themselues
.
The
Iewes
had
Saint
Paul
in
prison
,
where
forty
of
them
vowed
,
that
they
would
neither
eate
nor
drinke
,
vntil
they
had
slayne
him
:
but
God
in
a
due
time
defended
him
.
The
Angell
of
the
Lord
led
Peter
forth
of
prison
.
The
Angell
of
the
Lord
defended
Sidrac
,
Misac
,
and
Abednago
in
the
burning
fire
.
The
Angell
of
the
Lord
stopped
the
Lions
mouthes
,
that
should
haue
deuoured
Daniel
.
And
there
is
no
doubt
but
the
good
Angell
of
the
Lord
,
with
a
drawne
sword
,
will
defend
our
Soueraigne
Lord
King
Iames
,
from
all
his
enemies
.
A
comfortable
saying
it
is
,
that
this
holy
Angell
of
the
Lord
,
with
a
drawne
sword
(
though
not
visibly
seene
)
standeth
between
the
godly
and
their
enemies
.
And
then
,
though
the
wicked
come
armed
with
an
host
of
men
,
they
shall
bee
ouercome
with
their
subtill
deuices
,
and
their
swords
shall
goe
thorow
their
owne
hearts
.
Call
we
now
to
mind
our
late
soueraigne
Lady
Queen
Elizabeth
,
whom
the
Angell
of
the
Lord
,
euen
from
her
cradle
,
did
miraculously
preserue
from
the
tyranny
of
all
her
enemies
.
When
(
for
our
sinnes
)
Queene
Mary
committed
both
the
Word
and
Sword
,
to
the
hypocrisy
and
tyranny
of
the
popish
Cleargy
,
good
Lady
Elizabeths
life
was
then
assayled
with
a
thousand
publike
and
priuate
practises
,
but
the
Angell
of
the
Lord
still
stood
betweene
her
and
her
harmes
;
and
from
the
fetters
of
aduersity
,
loosed
,
and
crowned
her
Maiesty
,
with
the
supreme
dignity
of
this
Realme
.
Afterwards
,
in
the
dayes
of
her
Maiesties
most
happy
raigne
,
many
there
were
,
that
with
the
superstition
of
Papistry
were
so
blinded
,
that
they
sought
dayly
to
take
away
this
good
Queenes
life
:
as
Arden
and
Someruile
;
the
one
whereof
was
quartered
,
and
made
a
prey
for
Powles
;
the
other
hanged
himselfe
,
the
night
before
the
appoynted
day
of
his
execution
.
The
dangerous
Traitor
Throgmarton
,
as
cunningly
as
he
disguised
his
odious
treasons
,
was
intrapped
in
the
snares
,
which
he
set
for
his
Countries
destruction
,
and
worthily
dyed
with
the
sword
,
which
hee
had
whetted
for
the
innocent
.
The
odious
Atheist
Parry
likewise
had
the
reward
of
his
fellow
Traytors
,
who
,
though
he
had
the
place
and
opportunity
,
yet
as
gracelesse
as
he
was
,
the
very
Maiesty
of
her
princely
countenance
made
him
lose
his
resolution
.
Many
are
the
falles
of
Traytors
,
which
I
could
bring
in
,
since
the
beginning
of
Queene
Elizabeths
raigne
,
which
for
this
time
I
omit
.
But
surely
,
neither
her
Maiesties
goodnes
,
nor
their
own
duties
could
mouethem
to
obedience
,
that
had
but
once
drunke
of
the
dregs
of
Popery
.
Therefore
all
true
subiects
may
sigh
and
say
,
Alas
:
those
whose
hearts
are
hardened
therein
,
haue
their
iudgements
blind
,
and
their
affections
swift
to
runne
vpon
destruction
.
Pharao
was
warned
with
diuers
plagues
,
that
he
should
not
hinder
the
departure
of
the
children
of
Israel
forth
of
Egypt
:
yet
he
would
needs
follow
them
,
to
his
vtter
destruction
.
Gods
iustice
strooke
Mahomet
with
the
falling
sicknesse
,
to
make
him
know
and
repent
his
blasphemie
:
but
to
strengthen
the
peoples
misbeleefe
,
the
Deuill
taught
him
to
say
,
that
his
traunce
proceeded
of
the
conference
of
an
Angell
,
whose
diuine
presence
could
not
endure
his
earthly
shape
.
Vpon
the
principall
day
of
the
bloudy
murther
at
Paris
in
Fraunce
,
as
a
token
that
Gods
word
should
flourish
,
in
despight
of
their
cruelty
,
a
dead
and
withered
tree
bare
greene
leaues
,
in
that
Churchyard
that
receiued
many
a
murthered
carkase
.
And
yet
the
Papists
,
on
the
contrary
part
,
applied
this
prophesying
example
,
to
the
second
florishing
of
the
Romish
church
.
Thus
blind
they
are
in
their
wicked
imaginations
&
traytrous
attempts
:
and
thus
,
with
such
vaine
hopes
,
are
all
Traytors
led
vnto
the
follies
,
and
falles
of
vnloyall
subiects
.
Wherefore
,
howsoeuer
they
perswade
themselues
,
and
threaten
our
Countrey
with
a
change
of
prosperity
;
so
long
as
we
feare
God
,
and
be
true
to
his
Maiesty
,
our
peace
will
vndoubtedly
last
,
and
the
[

*
Sir
Walter
Rawley
,
disturbers
thereof
are
like
shortly
to
taste
their
own
miserable
fortunes
,
being
already
iustly
condemned
for
their
trayterous
attempts
against
our
most
gracious
King
,
and
God
punished
the
murther
of
Abel
,
committed
by
his
brother
Cain
,
with
a
most
bitter
curse
;
and
yet
that
there
might
bee
no
protection
in
murder
,
God
sayd
himselfe
,
That
whosoeuer
slue
the
reprobate
Cain
,
it
should
be
auenged
seuen
fold
.
And
now
to
touch
the
guilt
of
murther
more
neerely
,
God
requireth
the
bloud
of
Innocents
,
at
the
hands
of
Kings
and
anoynted
Princes
,
as
thus
:
To
punish
the
fault
of
King
Dauid
,
in
seeking
the
death
of
Vrius
,
God
tooke
away
the
life
of
the
child
,
which
Dauid
had
by
Vrias
wife
.
Furthermore
,
in
the
time
of
King
Dauid
,
there
were
three
yeres
famine
,
and
Dauid
demaunded
the
cause
why
?
And
the
Lord
sayd
,
It
was
for
Saul
,
and
the
house
of
bloud
,
because
he
slew
the
Gibeonites
.
According
to
the
opinion
of
Erasmus
,
the
consenter
to
murther
,
is
as
gilty
as
the
doer
.
Iudas
that
betrayed
Christ
,
and
Pilate
that
adiudged
him
to
death
,
only
to
please
the
Iewes
,
carried
the
feareful
burthen
of
murther
in
their
consciences
,
and
by
the
horrour
thereof
,
wrought
their
owne
destructions
.
Moreouer
,
nature
hath
taught
the
very
Infidels
and
heathen
people
to
beleeue
,
that
vengeance
followeth
murther
.
Reason
then
may
perswade
all
Christians
,
to
assure
themselues
,
that
the
bloudthirsty
are
worse
then
Infidels
,
and
cannot
escape
the
sword
of
vengeance
.
Now
,
seeing
that
Kings
,
if
they
shead
any
bloud
,
otherwise
then
by
the
sword
of
Iustice
;
and
Iudges
,
if
they
adiudge
death
for
hatred
,
feare
,
or
gayne
,
by
Gods
righteousnes
are
punished
as
murtherers
:
what
may
they
then
expect
,
that
in
corners
lay
violent
hands
on
annoynted
Kings
,
or
without
colour
of
authority
,
murther
the
innocent
?
If
the
eyes
of
their
vnderstanding
were
not
blind
,
they
might
see
a
bad
successe
in
their
purpose
,
and
the
open
confusion
of
themselues
.
I
haue
read
of
a
number
of
good
and
bad
Princes
,
and
also
of
other
which
haue
bene
bereaued
of
their
liues
,
by
the
violent
hands
of
secret
Traitors
:
but
among
a
hundred
,
you
shall
hardly
find
of
one
murtherer
,
that
hath
escaped
the
torture
of
Gods
vengeance
.
Brutus
and
his
partakers
murdered
Iulius
Casar
;
but
not
one
of
them
escaped
a
violent
death
.
Wee
may
yet
remember
the
vnhappy
murther
of
the
King
of
Scotland
,
father
to
our
Soueraigne
Lord
,
King
Iames
(
whose
life
God
long
continue
)
how
villanously
he
was
made
away
:
yet
the
greatest
fauourers
,
&
the
greatest
procurers
of
the
sayd
murther
,
were
by
common
iustice
drawn
to
commit
almost
all
the
murderers
into
the
hands
of
the
hangman
;
and
such
as
escaped
,
and
were
not
bound
to
the
censure
of
the
law
,
could
by
no
meanes
shift
themselues
from
the
vengeance
of
God
.
Iohn
I●r●g●
,
that
first
assailed
the
godly
Prince
of
Orange
,
had
the
common
reward
of
Traytors
.
And
the
most
odious
Atheist
Balthazar
Serack
,
that
slue
the
sayd
Prince
,
for
all
the
blessings
of
the
Pope
,
the
commendations
and
threatnings
of
the
King
of
Spaine
,
exchanged
the
Pistoll
wherewith
hee
slue
him
,
for
most
horrible
tortures
to
bee
executed
vpon
himselfe
,
being
the
iust
reward
for
his
haynous
treason
.
I
could
alledge
infinite
examples
,
to
disswade
men
from
violent
murther
,
which
Gods
prouidence
many
wayes
preuenteth
,
when
as
his
iustice
neuer
leaueth
the
murtherer
vnpunished
.
Yet
if
Traytors
had
reason
to
obserue
the
iudgements
of
such
practisers
,
or
experience
to
looke
into
the
wisdome
of
this
age
,
they
should
see
their
attempt
as
vayne
a
matter
,
as
to
throw
stones
against
the
starres
,
or
with
a
knock
of
their
head
to
leuell
a
mountaine
,
that
seeke
to
displace
a
beloued
Prince
.
But
now
to
wade
into
the
depth
of
our
subiect
,
ambition
and
desire
of
dignity
,
is
the
welspring
of
rebellion
and
treason
:
they
that
will
flye
without
wings
,
are
like
to
fall
before
they
are
wise
.
Hee
that
is
borne
to
bee
a
seruant
,
in
no
wise
ought
to
looke
for
double
attendance
.
Dignity
is
like
a
vane
on
a
high
Tower
,
which
is
subiect
to
the
chaunce
of
fortune
,
as
the
other
is
to
the
chaunce
of
the
wind
.
And
,
who
so
will
sit
surely
vpon
the
seat
of
prosperity
,
must
,
like
the
Snayle
,
get
experience
with
slow
climing
;
lest
in
taking
a
swifter
course
,
like
vnto
a
Bird
,
he
be
remoued
with
the
least
stone
that
is
throwne
,
I
meane
,
with
the
least
disgrace
of
fortune
.
If
mens
minds
grow
bigger
then
their
naturall
conditions
,
there
are
many
examples
of
vertue
to
imitate
,
which
haue
raised
sundry
men
from
the
cart
to
the
highest
degree
of
honour
:
when
otherwise
,
in
clyming
by
treason
,
many
honorable
Estates
dye
dishonorably
,
and
to
their
posterity
,
leaue
no
better
Inheritance
,
then
Infamy
.
Therefore
let
all
ambitious
minded
men
know
,
that
destruction
followeth
presumption
,
and
the
clyming
of
pride
will
haue
a
fall
.
And
now
I
thinke
it
not
amisse
,
to
discourse
vnto
you
the
speaches
of
an
English
Traytour
,
which
hee
spoke
at
his
execution
within
these
few
yeres
:
and
his
words
were
these
,
Oh
,
woe
is
me
,
vnhappy
man
!
I
may
now
rightly
compare
my
estate
to
the
state
of
Adam
,
who
at
first
was
placed
in
Paradise
,
and
there
enioyed
all
the
pleasures
of
the
earth
,
and
was
onely
forbidden
to
eate
of
the
fruite
of
one
tree
:
but
for
his
transgression
,
he
not
onely
procured
misery
vpon
his
owne
head
,
but
vpon
the
heads
of
all
his
posterity
.
So
(
quoth
he
)
I
that
wanted
nothing
,
but
had
health
,
wealth
,
and
friends
,
and
so
might
long
haue
liued
,
if
I
could
haue
forborne
to
haue
bin
vntrue
to
my
Prince
:
but
alas
,
for
my
offence
,
I
haue
brought
my selfe
vnto
this
misery
,
by
which
,
my
good
mother
,
my
louing
wife
,
my
foure
brethren
,
and
sixe
sisters
,
yea
,
and
our
whole
house
(
neuer
before
attaynted
)
is
infamed
,
and
our
posterity
for
euer
like
to
be
vndone
.
By
his
ouerthrow
all
men
are
warned
to
make
choyce
of
good
company
:
for
the
old
Prouerbe
is
verified
,
Euill
company
corrupts
good
maners
.
And
truly
,
the
injury
he
hath
done
to
his
whole
posterity
,
may
be
a
fearefull
example
,
to
feare
men
from
treason
,
especially
the
Nobility
and
better
sort
of
Gentlemen
:
for
they
thereby
not
onely
lose
their
liues
and
liuings
,
but
the
honour
of
their
houses
are
corrupted
.
Contrariwise
,
for
the
vertue
and
dutifull
seruice
of
one
man
,
a
number
of
his
posterity
receiue
both
honour
,
and
many
other
worldly
blessings
.
Hereby
we
may
compare
a
Traytors
offence
to
Adams
fault
,
and
wee
may
liken
the
sacred
Maiesty
of
our
renowmed
King
,
to
the
pleasant
and
glorious
fruit
of
the
tree
of
life
,
so
precious
in
Gods
eyes
,
as
he
forbade
Adam
,
and
all
the
seed
of
Adam
,
to
lay
violent
hands
vpon
.
But
now
,
to
returne
againe
to
the
bad
successe
of
Traytors
in
their
attempts
,
consider
yet
these
fewe
examples
,
that
hapned
in
Queene
Elizabeths
dayes
.
First
,
consider
we
how
Pius
quintus
set
Doctor
M●rt●●
on
worke
(
being
an
English
Fugitiue
)
to
rayse
a
commotion
in
the
North
parts
,
where
the
Earle
of
Westmerland
,
and
other
great
personages
entred
into
open
rebellion
:
yet
the
very
sound
of
her
Maiesties
power
dismayed
them
,
and
happy
was
he
that
could
run
fastest
away
.
The
principals
fled
;
but
escaped
not
the
iustice
due
vnto
Traytors
:
and
the
Earle
of
Westmerland
himselfe
euer
after
liued
in
pouerty
,
and
for
a
bare
allowance
,
was
subiect
to
the
proud
controlement
of
euery
rascall
Spanyard
.
Felton
,
to
draw
her
Maiesties
subiects
from
dutifull
obedience
,
set
vp
the
Popes
Bull
vpon
the
Bishop
of
Londons
gate
:
but
(
God
be
praysed
)
the
hornes
,
that
should
haue
gored
the
innocent
,
turned
into
a
halter
to
hang
the
Traytor
Felton
.
The
Pope
expecting
no
good
successe
by
open
force
,
then
armed
his
practises
with
Machiauils
policies
:
Mader
&
Barlow
,
were
made
Instruments
to
murther
some
principal
Magistrates
:
but
their
confusion
was
speedy
,
and
their
purpose
frustrate
.
The
peace
of
England
was
troubled
with
the
conspiracy
of
Throg●●rton
,
Appleyard
,
Brooke
and
others
;
but
they
had
no
better
successe
,
then
in
helping
themselues
to
the
gallow●
.
Doctor
Story
may
be
an
example
of
Gods
iustice
herein
;
the
Earle
of
Desmond
,
Doctour
Saunders
,
Campion
,
the
foureteene
Traytors
,
and
many
others
may
be
sufficient
witnesses
of
the
miserable
ends
of
Traytors
.
Moreouer
,
we
may
read
in
King
Edward
the
sixt
his
time
,
of
a
generall
rebellion
that
was
almost
throughout
England
:
yet
al
had
bad
successe
.
The
Papists
tempted
the
commons
to
rebellion
,
with
perswasions
to
throw
downe
inclosure
,
and
for
themselues
foysted
in
,
to
haue
their
olde
Religion
againe
.
The
banishment
of
strangers
,
hath
bin
made
the
cause
of
many
commotions
.
Also
the
Northerne
men
had
but
a
bad
proofe
of
two
rebellions
,
when
they
had
the
Crosse
and
Banner
of
fiue
wounds
borne
before
them
.
And
to
conclude
,
thus
you
may
see
the
iust
end
and
due
desert
of
all
Traytors
.
Therefore
my
counsell
is
(
which
I
speake
from
the
true
zeale
of
my
heart
)
that
my
louing
brethren
the
subiects
of
England
,
open
not
their
eares
to
the
subtill
perswasions
of
Papists
,
lest
rebellion
enter
into
their
hea●ts
,
&
so
vengeance
light
vpon
their
whole
bodies
.
If
this
counsell
were
surely
grafted
in
all
mens
hearts
,
then
no
doubt
,
but
the
rotten
braunches
of
rebellion
would
soone
be
cut
off
,
and
vnity
surely
placed
in
England
,
to
the
great
comfort
of
our
Soueraign
Liege
King
Iames
;
whom
the
Lord
of
Hostes
preserue
●nd
keepe
,
and
all
that
wish
him
well
.
