ALthough , at the late arraignments at Westminster of Edmonde Campion , and other his complices condemned there of sundry high treasons , it was manifestly declared and fully proued , how they all , vnder prctence of the names of Iesuites , Seminarie Priests , & other persons of like condition , had secretly come into this Realme by the sending of sundrie persons authorized by the Pope , to moue the people by their secret perswasions to change their professions in the matter of Religion , of long time quietly established in this Realme , and to be reconciled to the obedience of the Pope , and withdrawen from their naturall allegeance due to the Queenes Maiestie , and by these meanes to be readie in their heartes and mindes and otherwise prouided , to ioyne their forces aswell with such as their Heads & superiours which sent them , intended speedily to procure to be sent into this Realme , as with other rebellious Subiectes by them to be thereto also excited , of purpose to depriue her Maiestie of her life , crowne and dignitie , in like maner as lately hath bene notoriously attempted and put in execution by D. Sanders an errant and detestable Traitour , and whilest hee liued one of the saide Campions companions , and by other English and Irish Iesuites and Traitours in Ireland , where they had first by their like secret meanes and perswasions , entised a great multitude of people of that Land , first to change their profession of Religion and to acknowledge the Popes authoritie , and to renounce the iust authoritie of her Maiestie , and so departing from their allegeance vpon the arriuall of forreine forces they did enter into a manifest Rebellion , against the which Almightie God the iust auenger of Rebels , by his goodnesse hath giuen her Maiestie ( through her good ministers ) power to the vanquishing not onely of those forreine forces , but also of a great number of the Rebels there : Yet it is maliciously , falsly , and traiterously by some of the secret fauourers of the said Campion , and other the said condemned Traitours , whispered in corners , that the offences of these traitours , were but for their secret attemptings as Iesuites by exhorting & teaching , with Shriuing , Massing , & such like actes , to moue people to change their Religion , and to yelde their obedience to the Pope as Christes vicar ( although the same are of themselues offences very vainous , and seedes of sedicion not allowable by the Lawes of the Realme ) whereas in very trueth neuerthelesse it did manifestly appeare vpon their Juditements and at their arraignements by sundrie confessions of some of their owne companions , and by many good proofes and witnesses produced and sworne before their faces , that their factes , whereof they were arraigned and condemned , were such as were in trueth high Treasons committed against her Maiesties most Royall person , and against the ancient Lawes and Statutes of this Realme , which many hundred yeeres past were in force against like Traytours , and not for factes of doctrine or Religion , nor yet for offences against any late or newe Statutes , the same being many conspiracies at sundry times beyond the Seas , at Rome in Italie , and other places , and lastly at Rheims in Fraunce , where there are nourished by the Popes authoritie in Seminaries , multitudes of English Iesuites , Seminarie Priestes , and Fugitiues , whereof their Heads & Gouernours vse continually in their Sermons and in their Bookes publiquely printed , as Traitours to declare their traiterous mindes , as farrefoorth as they can , to the depriuation of the Queenes Maiestie of her life and crowne , to which endes the saide Campion & his said Companions , by procurement of their ssaid Heads , came secretly into this Realme to moue the Subiects to renounce their naturall obedience , and according to a Bull of the last Pope Pius published , to perswade all sortes with whom they durst secretly deale , that her Maiestie , by the sayd Popes excommunication , was not the lawfull Queene of the Realme , nor that the Subiects were bounde to obey any of her lawes or Ministers , but that they were all free and discharged of their obedience and allegeance , and that they might lawfully , yea that when time might serue , they ought to take armes against her Maiestie , as in the late rebellion in the North was manifestly by like meanes put in execution , and as nowe also lately was notoriously attempted in Ireland , by stirring vp the people in the Popes name , and vnder his standerd to an open general rebellion , & to haue brought these thinges to passe in this Realme , was the comming into this Realme of the said Campion & his Complices most manifestly tried and proued , as if by Gods goodnesse by their apprehensions after their secret wanderings and disguisings of them selues in a great part of the Shires of the Realme these Traitours had not bene now stayed , and by iust punishments ordered to be executed , there would haue appeared such mischiefe as is lamentable to be thought of , to the danger of her Maiesties person , & to the hazard and ruine of the whole Realme , by inuasion of the same with forreine enemies , & by raising of inward warre within the Realme , the ende and euent whereof , as of all warre ciuil , can not be without great griefe mentioned or imagined .

And to the further reproofe and condemnation of the saide Campion and other the Traitours nowe condemned , they being all seuerally and earnestly required at the place of their arraignement to declare what they thought of the saide Popes Bull ( by which her Maiestie was in the Popes intention depriued of the Crowne ) and of Doctor Sanders , and of Bristowes traiterous writings in maintenance of the saide Bull , and allowance of the Rebellion in the North , and of Saunders trayterous actions in Irelande , and being likewise demaunded what they did thinke if the present Pope should publish the like Bull , none of them all , but one onely named Rushton , coulde be perswaded by any their answeres to shewe in any part their mislykings eyther of the former Bull , or of D. Sanders , or Bristowes traiterous writings or actions , or of the Pope that nowe is , if he shoulde nowe publish the like Bull against her Maiestie , so as they did apparantly shew their traiterous hearts stil fixed to persist in their deuilish mindes against their naturall allegeance : Whereof God giue all good Subiects being true Englishmen borne , grace to beware , and in no sort to giue eare or succour to such pernicious Traitours , howsoeuer they shall be couered with hypocrisie , and false and fained holines of Rome .
