MY
Lord
Ambassadour
,
though
at
the
time
of
my
last
large
writing
to
you
of
the
state
of
this
countrey
,
&
of
our
long
desired
expectation
of
succours
promised
,
I
did
not
thinke
to
haue
had
such
a
sorrowfull
occasion
of
any
second
writing
,
as
nowe
I
haue
of
a
lamentable
change
of
matters
of
estate
here
:
yet
I
can
not
forbeare
(
though
it
be
with
as
many
sighs
as
liues
)
to
aduertise
you
of
the
truth
of
our
miserable
condition
,
as
now
to
me
&
others
of
our
partie
the
same
appeareth
to
be
:
that
by
comparing
of
all
things
past
in
hope
,
with
the
present
nowe
in
despaire
,
your
L.
who
haue
had
the
principall
managing
hitherto
of
all
our
causes
of
long
time
both
here
&
there
in
France
,
betwixt
the
King
Catholique
assisted
with
the
Potentates
of
the
holy
League
,
&
all
our
countrimen
which
haue
professed
obedience
to
the
Church
of
Rome
,
may
now
fall
into
some
new
&
better
consideration
,
how
our
state
both
for
our selues
at
home
,
and
our
brethren
abroade
,
now
at
this
present
fallen
(
as
it
were
)
into
vtter
despaire
,
may
be
reuiued
&
restored
to
some
new
hope
,
with
better
assurance
of
successe
then
hath
happened
hitherto
.
You
know
how
we
haue
depended
in
firme
hope
of
a
change
of
the
state
of
this
countrey
by
the
meanes
of
the
deuout
and
earnest
incitations
of
the
Popes
holines
,
and
the
King
Catholique
,
and
of
other
Potentates
of
the
holy
League
,
to
take
vpon
them
the
Inuasion
and
conquest
of
this
Realme
:
and
by
your
assurances
,
and
firme
promises
,
we
were
now
of
a
long
season
past
perswaded
,
that
the
King
Catholique
had
taken
vpon
him
the
same
glorious
Act
,
and
thereof
from
yeare
to
yeare
we
looked
for
the
execution
:
being
continually
fed
and
nourished
from
you
to
continue
our
hope
,
and
sundrie
times
solicited
by
your
earnest
requests
,
and
perswasions
,
to
encourage
our
partie
at
home
not
to
wauer
,
as
many
were
disposed
,
by
sight
of
continuall
delaies
,
but
to
be
ready
to
ioyne
with
the
outward
forces
that
should
come
for
this
Inuasion
.
Neuerthelesse
the
delayes
and
prolongations
of
times
appointed
for
the
comming
of
the
Kings
forces
,
specially
by
Sea
,
haue
bene
so
manie
,
as
vntill
this
last
Spring
,
we
were
in
despaire
:
at
what
time
you
aduertised
vs
with
great
assurance
that
al
the
Kings
preparations
,
Callice
,
towardes
the
vnknowen
parts
of
the
cold
North
,
all
our
hopes
,
all
our
buildings
,
as
it
now
appeareth
but
vpon
an
imagined
conquest
,
vtterly
ouerthrowen
,
and
as
it
were
with
an
earthquake
,
all
our
castles
of
comfort
brought
to
the
ground
,
which
now
(
it
séemeth
)
were
builded
but
in
the
aire
,
or
vpon
waues
of
the
sea
,
for
they
are
all
perished
,
all
vanished
away
from
our
thoughtes
.
And
here
with
I
am
astonished
what
I
may
best
thinke
of
such
a
worke
so
long
time
in
framing
,
to
be
so
suddenly
ouerthrown
,
as
by
no
reason
could
procéed
of
man
,
or
of
any
earthly
power
,
Excommunication
,
which
was
the
exercise
of
the
spirituall
sword
,
and
in
place
thereof
to
take
the
temporall
sword
,
and
put
it
into
a
Monarches
hand
to
inuade
this
realme
with
force
and
Armes
,
yea
to
destroy
the
Quéene
thereof
,
and
all
her
people
addicted
to
her
:
which
are
in
very
truth
now
féene
,
by
great
proofe
this
yeare
,
to
be
in
a
sort
infinite
,
and
inuincible
,
so
as
some
begin
to
say
that
this
purpose
by
violence
,
by
blood
,
by
slaughter
,
&
by
conquest
,
agréeth
not
with
Christes
doctrine
,
nor
the
doctrine
of
S.
Peter
,
or
S.
Paule
.
And
to
tell
your
Lordship
truly
,
I
finde
presently
a
great
number
of
wise
and
deuout
people
,
though
they
continue
in
their
former
religion
,
yet
do
they
secretely
condemne
this
intended
reformation
by
blood
and
force
.
Insomuch
that
I
heard
a
good
diuine
alledge
a
textout
of
S.
Gregorie
in
these
words
,
Quid
de
Episcopis
qui
verberibus
timeri
volunt
Canones
dicunt
benè
paternitas
vestra
nouit
,
pastores
sumus
non
percussores
.
Noua
enim
est
predicatio
quae
verberibus
exigit
fidem
.
This
sentence
I
obtained
of
him
,
because
it
séemeth
to
be
charitably
written
.
But
leauing
this
authoritie
among
Doctors
,
I
must
néedes
say
that
in
very
trueth
no
one
thing
hath
done
at
this
time
more
hurt
to
the
action
,
then
the
vntimely
hasty
publishing
abroad
in
this
Realme
before
this
Armie
of
Spaine
was
readie
to
come
foorth
to
the
seas
,
These
reports
were
brought
to
this
realme
with
good
credit
,
not
in
secret
but
in
publique
writings
&
printings
,
and
tooke
déepe
roote
in
all
kind
of
people
of
this
land
,
and
in
déede
was
of
the
more
credit
,
Pope
,
to
the
King
Catholique
,
to
execute
the
same
with
his
armies
both
by
sea
and
land
,
and
to
take
the
Crowne
to
him selfe
,
or
to
limit
it
to
such
a
Potentate
as
the
Pope
&
he
should
name
.
And
secondly
,
there
followed
a
large
explanation
of
this
Bull
,
by
sending
hither
a
number
of
English
bookes
printed
in
Antwerp
euen
when
the
Nauy
of
Spaine
was
daily
looked
for
,
the
originall
whereof
was
written
by
the
reuerend
father
Cardinall
Allen
in
Aprill
last
,
Cardinall
of
England
,
which
booke
was
so
violently
,
sharply
,
and
bitterly
written
,
yea
(
say
the
Aduersaries
)
so
arrogantly
,
falsly
,
and
slaunderously
,
against
the
person
of
the
Quéene
,
against
her
father
King
Henrie
the
eight
,
against
all
her
Nobilitie
and
Counsell
,
as
in
very
truth
I
was
heartily
sory
to
perceiue
so
many
good
men
of
our
owne
religion
offended
therewith
,
in
that
there
should
be
found
in
one
accompted
a
father
of
the
Church
,
who
was
also
a
borne
subiect
of
this
crowne
(
though
by
the
Aduersaries
reported
to
be
very
basely
borne
)
such
foule
,
vile
,
irreuerent
,
and
violent
spéeches
,
such
ireful
and
bloody
threatnings
,
of
a
Quéene
,
of
a
Nobilitie
,
yea
of
the
whole
people
of
his
owne
nation
.
Sory
,
There
was
also
to
adde
the
more
credite
to
these
terrible
prognostications
,
Castile
,
of
Andaluzia
,
of
Biscaye
,
of
Guipusque
,
of
Portingall
,
of
Naples
,
of
Sicil
,
of
Ragusa
,
and
other
Countries
of
the
Leuant
,
with
a
masse
of
all
kinde
of
prouisions
,
beyond
measure
,
for
the
said
Armadas
,
sufficient
in
estimation
,
to
be
able
to
make
conquest
of
many
kingdomes
or
countries
.
And
one
great
Argument
is
published
by
the
Aduersaries
to
stirre
vp
the
mindes
of
the
Nobilitie
of
England
against
the
Spaniards
,
which
is
very
maliciously
inuented
,
to
shew
the
intention
of
the
conquest
,
not
only
of
England
,
but
of
the
whole
Isle
of
Britaine
:
mouing
all
men
specially
to
marke
by
the
description
of
the
Armada
,
that
there
are
specially
named
such
a
number
of
Noblemen
,
as
Princes
,
Marquises
,
Condes
and
Dons
,
that
are
called
Aduenturers
,
without
any
office
or
pay
,
&
such
another
number
also
of
men
with
great
titles
of
honour
,
and
many
of
them
named
Captaines
and
Alferez
,
without
office
,
but
yet
in
sold
,
and
therefore
called
Entertenidos
,
as
all
those
being
for
no
seruice
in
the
Armada
may
be
wel
presumed
(
say
they
)
to
haue
come
to
haue
possessed
the
roomes
of
all
the
Noblemen
in
England
,
and
Scotland
:
and
this
fiction
hath
taken
more
place
then
it
is
worth
.
And
though
these
armies
were
in
déede
excéeding
great
and
mightie
,
yet
they
were
so
amplified
beyond
all
measure
in
these
bookes
,
as
in
no
preparation
of
Christendome
in
former
times
against
the
Sarracins
or
Turks
could
be
greater
.
The
numbers
made
ready
in
the
Realme
I
cannot
affirme
of
mine
owne
knowledge
,
but
I
haue
heard
it
reported
,
when
I
was
gréeued
to
thinke
the
same
to
be
so
true
,
that
there
was
through
England
no
quarter
East
,
West
,
North
and
South
,
The
maritime
Countries
from
Cornewall
,
Kent
:
and
from
Kent
Eastward
,
by
Essex
,
Suffolk
,
and
Norfolk
to
Lincolnshire
(
which
Countries
with
their
Hauens
were
well
described
vnto
you
in
perfect
Plots
,
when
Francis
Throgmorton
,
first
did
treat
with
your
Lordship
about
the
same
)
were
so
furnished
of
men
of
warre
,
both
of
themselues
,
&
with
resort
of
aide
from
their
next
shires
,
as
there
was
no
place
to
be
doubted
for
landing
of
any
forrein
forces
,
but
there
were
within
eight
and
fortie
houres
to
come
to
the
place
aboue
twentie
thousand
fighting
men
on
horsebacke
and
on
foote
,
with
field
ordinance
,
victuals
,
pioners
and
cariages
,
and
all
those
gouerned
by
the
principal
Noble
men
of
the
Countries
and
reduced
vnder
Captaines
of
knowledge
.
And
one
thing
I
heard
of
,
that
was
very
politikely
ordered
and
executed
at
this
time
,
as
of
many
late
yeares
was
not
vsed
:
that
as
the
Leaders
&
officers
of
the
particuler
Bands
were
men
of
experience
in
the
warres
:
so
to
make
the
Bands
strong
and
constant
,
But
now
,
such
is
our
calamitie
,
that
it
hath
pleased
God
,
as
I
thinke
for
our
sinnes
,
or
els
for
confounding
of
our
bold
opinions
,
and
presumptions
of
our
owne
strength
,
to
put
in
the
hearts
of
all
persons
here
one
like
mynde
,
&
courage
to
withstand
the
intended
Inuasion
,
as
well
in
such
as
we
accompted
Catholiques
,
as
also
in
the
Heretiques
:
so
as
it
hath
appeared
manifestly
that
for
all
earnest
procéeding
for
arming
,
and
for
contributions
of
money
,
and
for
all
other
warlike
actions
,
there
was
no
difference
to
be
séene
betwixt
the
Catholique
,
and
the
heretique
.
Soueraigne
Lady
and
Queene
,
against
all
forrein
forces
,
though
the
same
were
sent
from
the
Pope
or
by
his
commandement
:
Yea
diuers
of
them
did
offer
that
in
this
quarell
of
inuading
of
the
Realme
with
strangers
,
they
would
present
their
owne
bodies
in
the
formost
rankes
with
their
countrie
men
against
all
strangers
.
Whereupon
I
heard
also
by
a
secrete
friende
of
mine
in
the
Court
,
that
it
was
once
in
some
towardnes
of
resolution
amongst
the
Counsellers
,
that
they
should
haue
bene
returned
and
put
to
their
former
libertie
.
But
the
heate
of
the
warre
being
kindled
with
the
knowledge
of
the
Kings
Armada
,
being
at
that
time
come
to
the
Groigne
,
and
the
Duke
of
Parmas
readines
with
so
great
an
Armie
and
shipping
in
Flaunders
,
daily
looked
for
to
land
in
England
,
yea
to
come
to
London
,
and
a
generall
murmur
of
the
people
against
all
such
Recusants
of
reputation
,
was
the
cause
of
the
staying
of
these
Gentlemen
at
Elie
,
notwithstanding
their
offers
of
their
seruice
to
the
Quéene
:
and
so
they
doe
remaine
in
the
Bishops
pallace
there
,
with
fruition
of
large
walkes
about
the
same
,
altogether
without
any
imprisonment
,
other
then
that
they
are
not
suffred
to
depart
into
the
towne
,
or
countrey
:
and
yet
for
their
religion
,
By
which
kind
of
procéedings
our
Aduersaries
here
do
pretend
,
that
both
these
Gentlemen
,
and
all
other
of
their
qualities
are
fauourably
vsed
,
that
they
are
not
pursued
to
death
for
their
religion
,
as
they
say
it
was
vsed
in
Quéene
Maries
time
,
and
as
it
is
daily
vsed
(
as
they
say
)
most
rigorously
and
barbarously
in
Spaine
against
the
Englishmen
that
come
thither
,
onely
in
trade
of
marchandise
.
And
yet
I
and
others
sometimes
priuately
speaking
with
such
our
Aduersaries
,
as
wée
thinke
are
not
maliciously
bent
to
haue
men
prosecuted
to
death
only
for
their
Religion
(
for
to
say
the
truth
,
and
as
the
prouerbe
is
,
not
to
belie
the
Diuel
,
very
many
of
our
Contraries
are
in
that
point
not
vncharitable
)
we
doe
obiect
to
them
the
executions
by
cruell
torments
&
deaths
of
very
many
,
both
here
about
London
,
and
other
parts
of
the
Realme
,
whom
we
accompt
as
Martirs
,
in
that
they
do
witnes
by
their
death
their
obedience
to
the
Pope
,
and
the
Catholique
Church
of
Rome
.
To
which
,
these
our
Aduersaries
pretending
some
small
drops
These
Defenders
of
these
iudgements
and
executions
,
contend
,
and
do
most
earnestly
maintaine
,
that
all
such
Priests
,
Iesuites
,
Seminaries
and
others
,
so
perswading
the
people
against
the
Quéene
,
the
Lawes
,
the
Gouernment
,
and
state
of
the
Realme
,
and
all
others
that
are
so
perswaded
by
them
,
are
manifest
traitors
:
and
so
they
say
that
their
enditements
,
and
all
proces
of
law
extended
and
pursued
against
them
,
doe
manifestly
declare
the
same
.
Wherein
,
these
our
Aduersaries
do
sometimes
for
maintenance
of
their
arguments
,
shew
the
very
copies
of
their
enditements
and
iugdements
,
wherin
there
is
no
mention
made
of
charging
them
with
their
religion
,
but
that
they
haue
attempted
to
perswade
the
Quéenes
subiects
to
forsake
their
Allegeance
,
and
consequently
to
be
Rebels
to
their
Quéene
and
Soueraigne
.
In
this
sort
these
men
for
their
aduantage
,
doe
at
all
times
,
with
these
and
many
like
earnest
arguments
maintaine
their
procéedings
against
the
holy
Priests
&
Iesuites
,
that
haue
suffred
death
for
their
conscience
,
as
iust
&
necessary
.
And
though
,
where
I
and
others
may
reply
without
perill
to
our selues
(
as
surely
in
some
small
companies
we
may
vsing
modest
words
)
we
obiect
the
confession
of
the
Catholique
faith
by
the
parties
at
their
death
,
and
that
with
great
constancie
,
which
our
Aduersaries
cannot
denie
,
And
for
further
maintenance
of
the
coloured
arguments
,
wherewith
I
,
and
others
my
good
,
faithfull
,
and
Catholique
brethren
are
often
troubled
how
to
answere
them
,
it
is
alleaged
that
the
great
number
of
gentlemen
,
&
gentlewomen
,
yea
some
of
honourable
calling
,
These
arguments
in
their
defence
I
doe
not
repeate
as
allowing
of
them
,
but
yet
surely
they
do
moue
me
,
&
some
others
that
are
wise
,
to
thinke
,
that
indéed
the
rashnes
of
diuers
comming
secretely
into
the
Realme
,
&
professing
themselues
to
be
Priestes
,
Iesuites
,
that
more
care
and
choice
be
had
of
such
English
men
as
are
hereafter
to
be
sent
into
England
,
and
not
to
send
euery
yong
man
that
hath
more
boldnesse
,
then
learning
and
temperance
,
for
such
a
function
.
In
the
former
part
of
this
my
declaration
to
you
of
the
vniuersall
concurrence
of
all
men
of
value
,
wealth
,
and
strength
,
in
the
body
of
the
Realme
,
to
serue
and
defend
the
Quéene
&
the
Realme
,
pro
aris
&
focis
.
Of
the
number
and
strength
of
the
Quéenes
owne
ships
of
warre
,
I
thinke
you
haue
bene
sufficiently
enfourmed
many
times
heretofore
.
But
yet
I
will
make
you
a
true
report
of
the
state
of
them
this
present
Sommer
,
what
I
haue
credibly
heard
thereof
:
because
I
haue
bene
very
sory
to
heare
how
you
&
others
haue
bene
therein
abused
:
and
that
not
onely
in
this
matter
of
the
Quéenes
ships
,
but
in
some
other
things
also
of
late
,
whereof
some
part
hath
bene
here
by
very
many
,
maliciously
,
and
in
common
spéeches
,
imputed
to
your
owne
inuention
and
publication
:
whereof
in
a
few
wordes
I
will
make
some
digression
before
I
shall
shewe
the
estate
of
the
Quéenes
Nauie
.
In
this
Sommer
past
there
was
Printed
in
Paris
,
by
your
direction
(
as
it
was
reported
)
a
notable
vntruth
,
Barwicke
,
and
had
won
it
by
assault
,
and
possessed
it
quietly
:
whereof
no
part
was
true
,
nor
any
cause
to
imagine
the
same
,
though
I
wish
it
had
so
bene
:
but
not
for
any
good
will
that
I
now
beare
to
that
King
,
but
for
the
trouble
to
this
Quéene
.
For
in
truth
there
is
no
good
for
vs
to
be
hoped
for
from
the
King
of
Scots
,
howsoeuer
the
Scottish
Bishops
in
France
haue
sought
to
make
you
beléeue
otherwise
,
who
is
so
rooted
in
the
Caluinists
Religion
,
as
there
is
neuer
hope
that
he
can
be
recouered
to
the
church
of
Rome
:
and
so
I
thinke
you
are
of
late
duely
enfourmed
,
and
by
his
violent
actions
against
diuers
Catholiques
,
&
against
all
that
fauour
the
Spaniards
,
may
certainly
appeare
.
And
likewise
another
great
vntruth
was
lately
Printed
(
as
your
enemies
say
)
by
your
direction
also
in
Paris
,
Frances
Drake
.
Upon
these
two
so
notable
vntruthes
,
which
the
Aduersaries
spitefully
called
Don
Bernardin
Mendozas
mendacia
,
But
now
to
leaue
this
digression
,
and
to
returne
to
let
you
know
the
truth
of
the
state
of
the
Quéens
Nauy
this
Sommer
.
Lisbone
,
and
of
the
Army
by
land
vpon
the
Sea
coasts
in
Flanders
with
their
shipping
,
deuided
into
thrée
companies
:
the
greatest
vnder
the
charge
of
Charles
L.
Haward
high
Admirall
of
England
,
Norfolke
,
had
also
bene
high
Admirals
afore
him
,
wherof
both
France
and
Scotland
haue
had
proofe
.
An other
company
were
appointed
to
remaine
with
the
L.
Henry
Seymour
second
son
to
the
Duke
of
Somerset
that
was
Protector
in
King
Edwards
time
,
Hartfort
:
and
these
companies
for
a
time
continued
in
the
Narrow
seas
betwixt
England
and
Flanders
,
vnder
the
charge
of
the
said
high
Admirall
,
to
attend
on
the
Duke
of
Parmas
Actions
.
A
third
company
were
armed
in
the
West
part
of
England
towards
Spaine
,
Francis
Drake
:
a
man
by
name
and
fame
knowne
too
too
well
to
all
Spaine
,
and
to
the
Kings
Indias
,
and
of
great
reputation
in
England
:
and
this
was
compounded
,
partly
of
some
of
the
Quéenes
owne
ships
,
and
partly
of
the
ships
of
the
West
parts
.
But
after
that
it
was
certainely
vnderstood
,
that
the
great
Nauy
of
Spaine
was
ready
to
come
out
from
Lisbone
,
and
that
the
fame
therof
was
blowne
abroad
in
Christendome
to
be
inuincible
,
and
so
published
by
bookes
in
print
,
the
Quéene
and
all
her
Counsel
I
am
sure
(
whatsoeuer
good
countenance
they
made
)
were
not
a
little
perplexed
,
as
looking
certainely
for
a
daungerous
fight
vpon
the
Seas
,
and
after
that
for
a
landing
and
Inuasion
.
Whereupon
the
Lord
Admirall
was
commaunded
to
saile
with
the
greatest
ships
,
to
the
West
of
England
towardes
Spaine
to
ioyne
with
Drake
,
whom
he
made
Viceadmiral
,
&
to
continue
in
the
seas
betwixt
France
and
England
to
stop
the
landing
of
the
Nauy
of
Spaine
.
And
with
the
Lord
Admirall
went
in
certaine
of
the
Quéens
ships
,
the
Lord
Thomas
Haward
second
sonne
to
the
last
Duke
of
Norfolke
,
Sheffeld
,
sonne
to
the
Admirals
sister
,
who
is
wife
to
the
Quéenes
Ambassadour
in
France
,
with
a
great
number
of
Knights
of
great
liuelode
:
And
at
that
time
the
Lord
Henry
Seymour
was
left
with
a
good
number
of
ships
in
the
narrow
Seas
,
vpon
the
coast
of
Flaunders
to
attend
on
the
Duke
of
Parma
.
Whilest
these
two
Nauies
were
thus
diuided
,
I
confesse
to
you
that
I
and
others
of
our
part
,
secretely
made
full
accompt
that
none
of
all
these
English
ships
durst
abide
the
sight
of
the
Armada
of
Spaine
:
or
if
they
would
abide
any
fight
,
yet
they
should
all
be
sonke
at
the
first
encounter
.
For
such
constant
opinion
we
had
conceiued
by
the
reports
of
the
world
,
that
the
greatnes
&
number
of
the
ships
,
and
the
Army
of
Spaine
,
being
the
chosen
vessels
of
all
the
Kings
Dominions
,
was
so
eccessiue
monstrous
,
beyond
all
the
Nauies
that
euer
had
bene
seene
in
Christendome
(
not
excepting
the
Armada
at
Lepanto
)
that
no
power
could
abide
in
their
way
.
But
how
farre
deceiued
we
were
therein
,
a
very
short
time
,
euen
the
first
day
,
did
manifestly
,
to
the
great
dishonour
of
Spaine
,
discouer
.
For
when
the
Catholique
Armie
came
to
the
coast
of
England
,
which
in
déede
the
English
confesse
did
séeme
farre
greater
then
they
looked
for
,
and
that
they
were
astonied
with
the
sight
of
them
:
Drake
,
hauing
but
onely
fifty
of
the
English
ships
out
of
the
Hauen
of
Plimmouth
,
where
the
rest
remained
for
a
new
reuictualling
,
without
tarying
for
the
rest
of
the
Nauie
that
was
in
Plimmouth
,
they
did
offer
present
fight
,
&
furiously
pursued
the
whole
Nauie
of
Spaine
,
being
aboue
160.
ships
:
so
as
the
same
,
with
the
furious
and
continuall
shot
of
the
English
one
whole
day
,
fled
without
any
returning
.
Andaluzia
,
and
out
of
the
Admiranta
of
Guipusque
,
and
thirdly
out
of
the
principall
great
Galliasse
of
Naples
great
numbers
were
brought
(
beside
many
moe
killed
and
drowned
)
to
London
,
and
to
sundry
other
portes
of
the
Realme
,
to
the
great
dishonour
of
Spaine
:
amongst
which
prisoners
were
a
great
number
of
Captaines
both
for
land
and
sea
.
And
besides
that
,
which
déepely
blemisheth
the
honour
of
Spaine
,
and
vexeth
me
at
my
heart
,
to
consider
the
inequalitie
of
fortune
,
it
is
vaunted
by
our
Aduersaries
,
that
in
all
the
time
of
these
fightes
so
many
dayes
,
Lutheran
.
And
though
such
spéeches
be
vnaduised
,
and
not
to
be
regarded
:
yet
surely
it
is
most
manifest
,
that
in
all
this
voiage
from
the
comming
of
the
Nauie
out
of
Lisbon
euen
to
this
houre
,
Lutherans
:
which
,
percase
,
may
be
done
for
our
good
,
to
correct
vs
as
putting
our
trust
wholy
in
our
worldly
strength
,
&
to
the
confusion
hereafter
of
the
Lutherans
,
by
puffing
them
vp
,
being
his
enemies
,
with
prosperitie
for
a
time
,
to
be
afterwardes
the
cause
of
their
ruine
.
And
amongest
other
things
reported
to
the
dishonour
of
the
Duke
of
Medina
,
who
,
it
is
said
,
was
lodged
in
the
bottome
of
his
ship
for
his
safetie
,
and
to
a
great
touch
to
the
Commanders
of
the
Spanish
Nauie
,
that
they
neuer
would
turne
their
ships
,
nor
stay
them
,
to
defend
any
of
their
owne
shippes
that
were
forced
to
tary
behind
,
but
suffred
diuers
to
perish
,
as
are
good
witnesses
thereof
the
thrée
great
vessels
.
Don
Pedro
de
Valdez
was
taken
:
an
other
Galleon
of
Guipusque
that
was
spoiled
with
fire
:
and
the
noble
Galliasse
wherein
Hugo
de
Moncada
was
slaine
:
of
which
lacke
of
care
by
the
Duke
of
Medina
,
these
Spaniards
that
are
taken
giue
very
euill
report
.
The
like
is
said
in
Zeland
by
the
Spaniards
there
,
that
were
saued
with
Diego
de
Pimentelli
,
Flushing
,
and
so
also
did
another
likewise
perish
for
lacke
of
succour
before
Ostend
.
And
now
I
must
néedes
thinke
that
you
are
stricken
with
some
griefe
of
mind
,
or
rather
with
some
anger
towards
me
,
to
heare
from
me
so
much
of
those
aduerse
things
,
although
they
are
too
true
:
and
therfore
I
also
imagine
you
may
be
disirous
,
for
your
better
contentation
,
to
vnderstand
what
opinions
we
that
are
here
haue
,
being
thus
frustrate
of
our
expected
deliuerie
,
by
the
defeat
of
this
enterprise
:
whether
we
do
comfort
our selues
with
a
conceit
that
this
Action
may
be
,
by
any
probabilitie
,
once
againe
renued
this
next
yeare
,
for
the
recouerie
of
our
lost
hope
this
yeare
,
famously
spoken
of
by
the
number
of
88.
and
so
verified
to
the
losse
of
al
Catholiuqes
.
First
of
the
weaknes
of
the
English
Nauie
:
for
so
you
know
you
were
diuers
waies
this
last
yeare
aduertised
from
hence
,
Next
,
of
a
supposed
euill
contentment
of
a
number
of
people
in
this
land
to
serue
the
Queene
,
and
her
Gouernment
against
her
enemies
.
Lastly
,
and
most
principally
,
of
a
great
strong
partie
that
would
be
found
here
in
the
fauour
of
vs
for
the
Catholique
religion
,
that
should
take
armes
against
the
Queene
vpon
the
first
sight
of
the
Catholique
Nauie
on
the
coasts
of
England
.
Of
all
which
opinions
,
setled
in
good
mens
minds
in
maner
of
iudgements
,
we
know
that
none
in
the
world
did
more
constantly
assure
the
King
thereof
then
you
:
which
,
as
the
matters
haue
euil
succeeded
,
may
,
I
feare
,
bring
you
in
danger
of
his
indignation
,
although
I
know
you
meant
very
wel
therin
.
And
as
these
three
opinions
haue
all
failed
this
yeare
,
so
I
assure
you
,
though
some
of
ours
on
that
side
the
seas
may
persist
in
their
former
opinions
against
the
experience
lately
seen
(
as
it
is
likely
they
may
be
forced
to
do
,
to
maintaine
them selues
in
credit
,
for
continuing
their
necessary
relief
from
the
Pope
,
and
the
King
,
hauing
no
other
means
to
keepe
them
from
steruing
or
begging
)
yet
because
I
would
not
haue
you
further
deceiued
by
them
,
who
haue
not
bene
present
in
the
Realme
to
see
such
contrary
proofs
against
all
their
conceits
,
as
I
and
others
haue
done
:
I
will
shew
you
a
great
number
of
manifest
Arguments
,
though
I
am
sory
at
my
heart
to
remember
them
,
whereby
you
in
your
wisedome
(
if
you
be
not
blinded
by
others
)
shall
see
it
most
certaine
,
that
these
former
opinions
,
for
comfort
to
be
had
from
hence
,
will
proue
the
next
yeare
as
strong
against
vs
,
and
in
some
part
more
strong
then
they
proued
this
yeare
,
if
any
accompt
should
be
made
thereof
.
First
,
for
the
Nauy
of
England
,
which
hath
this
yere
to
the
sight
of
the
world
proued
to
be
of
great
force
&
value
,
for
those
Seas
,
and
able
to
ouermatch
in
their
maner
of
fight
,
double
to
their
number
,
of
the
great
Gallions
,
Carikes
,
Galliasses
,
or
Gallies
,
it
is
certaine
that
it
will
be
greatly
increased
this
next
yeare
.
For
I
know
,
that
within
these
few
dayes
,
bargaines
are
already
made
,
&
Imprest
of
money
deliuered
,
and
certaine
sent
into
the
Estlands
,
for
great
store
of
all
maritime
prouisions
.
And
as
for
the
increase
of
the
number
of
good
shippes
for
the
Thames
,
to
build
a
number
of
ships
of
warre
,
equall
to
these
whose
seruice
was
séene
this
yeare
to
haue
ouermatched
the
great
Armadas
&
Castles
of
Spaine
&
Italy
.
And
furthermore
,
to
ioyne
with
the
Nauie
of
England
this
yeare
following
,
not
onely
the
Hollanders
and
Zelanders
,
but
also
shippes
of
Denmarke
,
&
other
partes
of
Estland
,
will
certainly
be
had
in
great
numbers
,
whereof
there
was
none
at
all
required
this
yeare
past
to
ioyne
with
the
Nauie
of
England
.
Onely
certaine
Hollanders
&
Zelanders
offred
their
seruice
(
according
as
they
are
bound
)
in
the
end
of
this
Sommer
,
Callice
,
to
ioyne
with
some
of
the
English
Nauie
in
the
narrow
seas
,
to
defend
the
issuing
of
the
Duke
of
Parma
out
of
the
ports
of
Flanders
:
&
in
that
seruice
at
this
time
there
are
aboue
fortie
and
sixe
good
ships
of
warre
,
Nassau
:
a
man
that
agréeth
too
well
with
the
English
Nation
,
and
is
a
sworne
enemie
to
all
Spaniardes
,
and
Catholiques
:
&
as
it
is
reported
for
certaine
,
there
are
thréescore
more
comming
out
of
North-Holland
to
the
Seas
,
for
the
same
purpose
:
so
as
it
is
to
be
doubted
,
that
this
Realme
,
this
next
yeare
,
will
be
double
as
strong
as
it
was
this
last
yeare
.
As
to
the
second
branch
of
our
hope
depending
vpon
opinion
of
some
great
miscontentment
of
sundry
persons
against
the
Quéene
the
proofe
of
the
contrary
so
appeared
this
yeare
,
She
caused
also
an
Armie
to
be
brought
to
incampe
néere
the
Sea
side
,
Thames
,
betwixt
the
Sea
and
the
City
,
twenty
miles
beneath
the
City
:
and
after
the
Army
was
come
thither
,
she
would
not
by
any
aduise
be
staied
,
but
for
comfort
of
her
people
,
and
to
shew
her
owne
magnanimity
of
heart
(
as
she
said
,
she
would
so
do
though
she
was
a
woman
)
she
went
to
that
Armie
lying
betwixt
the
City
and
the
Sea
,
vnder
the
charge
of
the
Earle
of
Leicester
,
placing
her selfe
betwixt
the
enemy
and
her
City
,
and
there
viewed
her
Armie
,
and
passed
through
it
diuers
times
,
lodged
in
the
borders
of
it
,
returned
againe
,
and
dined
in
the
Armie
:
And
first
,
saw
the
people
as
they
were
,
by
their
Countries
,
lodged
and
quartered
in
their
seuerall
campes
,
which
she
viewed
from
place
to
place
.
Afterward
,
when
they
were
all
reduced
into
battailes
,
ready
,
as
it
were
,
to
fight
with
any
enemy
,
she
rode
round
about
them
,
and
did
view
them
curiously
,
being
accompanied
onely
but
with
the
Generall
,
and
thrée
or
foure
others
attending
on
her
:
But
yet
to
shew
her
state
,
I
well
marked
it
,
she
had
the
sword
carried
before
her
by
she
Earle
of
Ormond
.
There
she
was
generally
saluted
with
cries
,
with
shoutes
,
with
all
tokens
of
loue
,
of
obedience
,
of
readinesse
and
willingnesse
to
fight
for
her
,
And
besides
such
particular
Acclamations
the
whole
Army
in
euery
quarter
,
Lord
Hunsdon
Lord
Chamberlein
,
as
Lieutenant
of
that
Army
,
made
ready
from
the
Inland
partes
of
the
Realme
,
to
be
about
her
owne
person
,
without
disarming
the
maritime
Counties
:
so
as
many
marched
out
of
sondry
Countries
towards
her
,
at
the
very
time
that
she
was
in
the
Camp
:
some
came
to
the
Suburbes
&
Townes
neare
London
,
whom
she
remaunded
to
their
Countries
,
because
their
Haruest
was
at
hand
,
and
many
of
them
would
not
be
countermaunded
,
but
still
approched
onward
on
their
owne
charges
(
as
they
sayd
)
to
sée
her
person
,
&
to
fight
with
them
that
boasted
to
conquere
the
Realme
.
But
though
the
greatest
nomber
of
the
said
souldiours
were
compelled
to
returne
,
yet
the
Captaines
,
Leaders
,
and
the
principall
Knightes
and
Gentlemen
came
to
the
Court
to
offer
their
seruice
:
&
those
were
gratiously
accepted
of
her
with
many
thankes
,
and
are
now
for
the
more
part
returned
with
a
full
determination
,
and
firme
promise
to
continue
their
Bands
in
such
redines
,
as
vpon
a
few
houres
warning
they
will
assuredly
returne
with
them
in
good
array
.
Beside
these
foresaid
Argumentes
to
disproue
the
opinion
of
discontentment
of
the
people
,
which
heretofore
hath
bene
thought
a
great
furtherance
to
this
honorable
action
,
I
will
also
remember
you
some
other
more
notable
Actions
,
to
proue
both
contentation
,
and
readines
,
in
all
the
Nobilitie
of
the
Realme
at
this
time
,
that
were
not
tyed
to
abide
in
their
countries
by
reason
of
their
offices
,
as
Lieutenantes
and
Gouernours
there
for
Martiall
seruices
.
For
assoone
as
it
was
heard
that
the
Quéene
was
come
nere
London
,
and
that
the
Armies
were
in
gathering
to
come
out
of
the
countries
,
Argeletiers
,
lodging
their
Bands
round
about
London
,
and
maintaining
them
in
pay
at
their
owne
charges
all
the
time
,
vntill
the
Nauie
of
Spaine
was
certainly
knowen
to
be
passed
beyond
Scotland
.
And
of
these
Noble
men
many
shewed
their
Bands
of
their
horsemen
,
before
the
Quéene
euen
in
the
fields
afore
her
own
gate
,
to
the
great
marucile
of
men
of
good
iudgement
(
as
I
heard
reported
)
for
that
the
number
of
them
was
so
great
,
and
so
well
armed
,
and
horsed
,
as
knowing
that
they
were
no
parcell
of
the
numbers
of
horsemen
limited
in
euery
Countrie
,
and
put
into
Bands
with
the
Armies
described
,
it
was
thought
before
they
were
séene
,
that
there
had
not
bene
so
many
spare
horses
of
such
valour
in
the
whole
realme
,
excepting
the
North
part
of
England
towards
Scotland
,
whose
forces
consist
chiefly
of
horsemen
.
The
first
that
shewed
his
Bands
to
the
Quéene
,
was
that
Noble
,
Viscount
Mountague
,
who
,
howsoeuer
men
do
iudge
of
him
for
opinion
in
Religion
,
yet
to
tell
you
the
truth
,
he
is
reported
alwaes
to
haue
professed
,
as
now
also
at
this
time
he
did
professe
and
protest
solemnely
,
both
to
the
Quéene
,
and
to
all
her
Court
,
in
open
Assemblies
,
that
he
now
came
,
though
he
was
very
sickly
,
and
in
age
,
with
a
full
resolution
to
liue
and
die
in
defence
of
the
Quéene
,
and
of
his
countrie
,
against
all
Inuaders
,
whether
it
were
Pope
,
King
or
Potentate
whatsoeuer
,
and
in
that
quarell
he
would
hazard
his
life
,
his
children
,
his
lands
and
goods
.
And
to
shew
his
minde
agréeably
thereto
,
he
came
personally
himself
before
the
Quéene
,
with
his
Band
of
horsemen
being
almost
two
hundred
:
the
same
being
led
by
his
owne
sonnes
,
and
with
them
a
yong
child
,
very
comely
seated
on
horseback
,
being
the
heire
of
his
house
,
that
is
,
the
eldest
sonne
to
his
son
&
heire
:
a
matter
much
noted
of
many
,
whom
I
heard
to
commend
the
same
:
to
sée
a
grandfather
,
father
,
and
sonne
,
at
one
time
on
horsebacke
afore
a
Quéene
for
her
seruice
,
though
in
truth
I
was
sory
to
sée
our
Aduersaries
so
greatly
pleased
therewith
.
But
I
cannot
conceale
it
from
your
Lordships
knowledge
,
because
I
thinke
this
Noble
man
is
knowen
vnto
you
,
hauing
bene
vsed
as
an
Ambassadour
to
the
King
Catholique
many
yeares
past
by
this
Quéene
(
as
I
haue
heard
)
to
require
confirmation
of
the
treaties
of
amitie
,
betwixt
both
their
Fathers
.
And
of
this
Noble
mans
conditions
,
I
thinke
there
be
some
others
,
of
whom
there
is
no
accompt
to
be
made
that
they
will
giue
sauour
to
any
attempt
against
the
Quéene
or
to
any
Inuasion
of
the
Realme
.
There
were
also
many
at
the
same
time
that
made
shewes
of
great
numbers
of
seruiceable
horses
,
Lincolne
,
and
the
Lord
Windesore
,
with
some
Knights
and
Gentlemen
with
them
shewed
their
Bands
,
as
the
Lord
Montague
had
done
:
and
after
them
,
Lord
Chancelour
shewed
goodly
Bands
of
horsemen
and
footmen
at
his
owne
house
,
very
manie
and
strong
.
And
within
one
or
two
daies
after
the
Earle
of
Warwicke
,
Lord
Burghley
Lord
Treasurer
,
Lord
Compton
,
Leycester
,
Lord
Rich
,
Carabins
,
and
a
faire
Band
of
footmen
all
Musketiers
.
This
shew
excéeded
in
number
any
other
particular
Band
,
and
the
Earle
himselfe
with
a
great
number
of
Launces
,
horsed
and
armed
,
did
run
very
many
courses
,
and
specially
with
the
Earle
of
Cumberland
(
as
they
cal
it
)
the
Course
of
the
field
which
I
had
neuer
séene
before
:
Carabines
,
and
his
footemen
to
make
many
skirmishes
there
,
to
the
great
liking
of
the
Quéene
,
and
of
the
multitude
of
people
,
which
were
many
thousands
.
Amongst
whom
I
heard
many
vehement
spéeches
against
all
English
Papists
,
calling
them
all
Traitors
,
wishing
also
that
the
Spaniards
,
had
bene
there
in
that
field
with
treble
the
number
,
to
make
proofe
of
the
value
of
English
men
:
all
which
I
heard
to
my
great
griefe
,
with
many
curses
against
all
their
countrimen
,
saying
,
that
they
as
arrant
Traitors
to
their
natiue
countrie
,
had
villanously
sold
,
as
farre
as
in
them
did
lie
,
the
libertie
of
their
country
to
Spaniards
,
and
other
Papists
.
It
behoued
me
not
there
to
haue
contraried
any
of
them
,
for
surely
if
I
had
,
their
rancour
was
so
stirred
vp
,
by
the
comfort
of
these
faire
shewes
of
horsemen
,
as
they
would
there
in
the
field
in
their
rage
haue
killed
me
,
and
cut
me
in
a
thousand
péeces
.
Besides
these
Lords
aboue
named
,
there
were
brought
to
the
towne
,
other
faire
Bandes
by
the
Earle
of
Worcester
,
Hertford
,
Audeley
,
Morley
,
Dacres
,
Lomeley
,
Mountioy
,
Sturton
,
Darcy
,
Sands
,
Mordant
,
Winchester
,
Hampshire
,
with
the
Earle
of
Sussex
Portemouth
,
and
Lieutenant
also
of
Dorcetshire
.
Next
to
him
is
in
accompt
the
Earle
of
Shrowsbury
Strange
,
The
Earle
of
Bath
Deuonshire
,
had
as
is
said
,
great
forces
of
his
owne
readie
to
haue
impeached
the
landing
of
any
strangers
in
Deuonshire
.
Wiltshire
,
and
Lord
President
of
all
Wales
,
was
ready
to
haue
come
to
the
Quéene
with
thrée
hundred
horsemen
,
and
fiue
hundred
footmen
all
of
his
owne
retinue
,
leauing
all
the
Countries
vnder
his
charge
fully
furnished
.
I
omit
here
to
speake
of
the
Bands
of
horsemen
,
belonging
to
the
Earles
of
Northumberland
Cumberland
,
Callice
.
Where
they
being
in
seuerall
ships
of
the
Quéenes
,
did
with
their
owne
persons
valiant
seruices
against
the
Kings
Armada
.
And
to
shew
the
great
readines
in
a
generalitie
of
sundrie
others
at
the
same
time
,
to
aduenture
their
liues
in
the
said
seruice
,
there
went
to
the
Seas
at
the
same
time
diuers
Gentlemen
of
good
reputation
,
who
voluntarily
without
any
charge
,
&
without
knowledge
of
the
Quéene
,
put
themselues
into
the
Quéens
Nauy
in
sundry
ships
,
wherein
they
serued
at
the
fight
afore
Callice
:
of
which
number
being
very
great
,
I
remember
that
the
names
of
some
of
them
were
these
:
Henry
Brooke
sonne
&
heire
to
the
Lord
Cobham
,
Thomas
Cecil
sonne
and
heire
to
the
Lord
Treasurer
,
William
Hatton
heire
to
the
Lord
Chancellour
Sir
Horatio
Pallauicino
a
Knight
of
Genua
,
Robert
Carie
sonne
to
the
Lord
Hunsdon
,
Charles
Blunt
,
Mountioy
.
Thomas
Gerard
and
William
Heruie
,
to
me
not
knowen
,
but
now
here
about
London
spoken
of
with
great
fame
.
These
two
aduentured
out
of
ship
boate
,
to
scale
the
great
Galliasse
wherein
Moncada
was
,
and
entred
the
same
only
with
their
Rapiers
:
a
matter
commonly
spoken
,
that
neuer
the
like
was
hazarded
afore
,
considering
the
height
of
the
Galliasse
compared
to
a
ship
boate
.
And
yet
to
make
it
more
manifest
,
how
earnest
all
sorts
of
Noble
men
,
and
Gentlemen
,
were
to
aduenture
their
liues
in
this
seruice
,
it
is
reported
that
the
Earle
of
Oxford
,
Treasurer
,
called
as
I
can
remember
,
Robert
Cecil
:
Walter
Ralegh
a
Gentleman
of
the
Queenes
priuie
Chamber
,
and
in
his
company
a
great
number
of
young
Gentlemen
,
amongst
whom
I
remember
the
names
of
the
heire
of
Sir
Thomas
Cecil
,
William
Cecil
,
Edward
Darcy
,
Arthure
Gorge
,
and
such
others
:
with
the
rehearsall
of
whom
I
do
not
comfort
my selfe
,
but
only
to
shew
you
,
how
farre
we
haue
bene
deceiued
to
thinke
that
we
should
haue
had
a
partie
here
for
vs
,
when
as
we
sée
both
by
land
and
Sea
,
all
sorts
of
men
were
so
readie
of
their
owne
charges
,
without
either
commandement
,
or
entertainement
,
to
aduenture
their
liues
in
defence
of
the
Quéene
and
the
Realme
.
And
for
the
Earle
of
Huntingtons
forces
,
Lord
Scroop
,
Lord
Darcy
,
Lord
Euers
.
There
are
also
diuers
other
Lordes
that
are
Lieutenants
of
Countries
,
that
haue
in
readinesse
of
their
proper
charges
good
numbers
of
horsemen
.
As
the
Earle
of
Kent
,
L.
Hunsdon
Lord
Chamberlaine
,
Suffolk
:
the
Lord
Cobham
Kent
:
Lord
Gray
of
Buckinghamshire
:
the
Lord
North
Cambridgeshire
:
Lord
Chandos
Glocestershire
:
Lord
S.
Iohn
Huntingtonshire
:
Lord
Buckhurst
Sussex
:
and
so
by
this
particuler
recital
not
vnméet
for
your
knowledge
,
it
is
to
be
noted
what
disposition
the
Nobilitie
of
the
Realme
had
at
this
time
to
haue
withstood
all
Inuasion
.
And
if
percase
you
shall
peruse
your
ordinary
Catalogue
of
the
grrat
Lordes
of
the
Realme
,
you
shal
find
that
these
are
the
substance
of
all
the
great
Lords
,
Rutland
,
Southhampton
,
and
Bedford
:
all
thrée
brought
vp
in
peruerse
religion
.
And
so
remaineth
to
be
spoken
of
,
the
Earle
of
Arundel
,
who
is
in
the
Tower
for
attempting
to
haue
fled
out
of
the
Realme
,
by
prouocation
of
him
that
now
is
Cardinall
Allen
:
who
,
howsoeuer
he
may
be
affected
to
the
Catholique
religion
:
yet
I
heare
most
certainly
that
he
offereth
his
life
in
defence
of
the
Quéene
against
all
the
world
.
And
where
accompt
was
made
to
haue
a
partie
in
this
Realme
,
which
by
these
former
relations
appeare
could
not
be
possible
,
the
whole
Nobilitie
being
assured
to
the
Quéene
,
and
the
force
of
the
people
not
violently
bent
that
way
:
In
this
very
time
was
offered
to
the
Quéene
as
great
a
partie
for
her
,
to
come
to
her
seruice
,
and
defence
of
the
Realme
,
as
out
of
all
Christendome
,
she
could
not
haue
to
all
respects
a
stronger
.
Which
was
the
King
of
Scots
,
who
hearing
of
the
intended
Inuasion
of
the
Realme
,
As
to
the
last
point
of
the
thrée
foundations
of
the
principal
hope
conceiued
,
And
therefore
now
finding
this
report
very
false
,
many
of
these
prisoners
do
by
name
curse
you
,
King
Ferdinand
.
And
now
for
strength
of
this
countrie
and
people
:
many
of
these
prisoners
hauing
bene
brought
from
the
Sea
coastes
hether
to
London
,
whereby
they
haue
obserued
the
countrie
and
the
people
,
doe
speake
marueilously
thereof
,
counting
the
same
inuincible
,
otherwise
then
by
treason
of
some
great
partie
within
the
Realme
.
But
whether
all
these
spéeches
which
are
commonly
reported
of
them
procéede
from
their
hartes
,
or
that
they
speake
thus
to
please
the
English
,
because
they
are
well
vsed
by
them
,
who
also
are
easily
deceiued
with
flattery
,
I
know
not
:
but
sure
I
am
they
do
thus
speake
dayly
,
with
outward
shewe
of
great
passions
against
such
as
haue
bene
perswaders
to
the
King
for
this
iourney
.
Diuers
of
them
also
which
are
of
good
iudgement
,
&
haue
heard
of
such
of
the
English
banished
men
as
haue
bene
in
Spaine
,
&
haue
knowen
some
of
them
there
(
as
of
long
time
,
Sir
Francis
Englefield
,
&
of
late
,
Lord
Paget
&
his
brother
)
haue
curiously
inquired
,
of
what
power
they
were
&
credit
here
,
to
haue
a
partie
.
They
also
inquired
of
the
Earle
of
Westmerland
:
Thomas
Stukeley
a
priuat
Englishman
,
who
fled
out
of
Ireland
for
debt
&
other
lewd
Actions
into
Spaine
,
not
being
worth
one
peny
,
his
debts
being
paied
,
&
but
the
second
sonne
of
a
meane
Gentleman
,
pretended
,
and
was
beléeued
in
Spaine
(
by
so
intitling
of
him selfe
)
to
be
a
Duke
,
a
Marquis
,
and
an
Earle
of
Ireland
,
and
so
was
a
long
time
enterteined
,
as
a
man
that
could
do
great
seruice
against
the
Quéene
of
England
:
vntill
at
length
the
King
vnderstood
his
falshood
,
and
banished
him
out
of
Spaine
.
And
after
repairing
to
Rome
,
was
by
the
Pope
also
mainteined
for
a
time
,
vntill
he
was
discouered
euen
by
some
good
Catholiques
,
that
could
not
endure
the
Popes
holines
to
be
so
grossely
mocked
:
of
whom
some
of
the
prisoners
vsing
mery
spéeches
,
how
both
the
Emperour
Charles
and
afterward
this
King
,
and
the
Pope
,
were
so
notably
deceiued
by
this
Stukeley
,
do
conclude
merely
,
that
they
thinke
some
of
these
English
that
haue
thus
abused
the
King
,
haue
followed
Stukeleys
steppes
.
And
in
very
truth
,
I
and
many
others
haue
bene
very
often
ashamed
to
heare
so
brode
spéeches
,
of
the
King
,
and
of
the
Pope
,
yea
of
the
Emperour
Charles
,
whom
such
a
companion
as
Stukeley
was
,
could
so
notably
deceiue
:
and
it
was
the
more
to
be
marueiled
,
how
he
could
deceiue
the
King
Catholique
,
considering
he
was
knowen
to
many
of
his
Counsell
,
at
the
Kings
being
in
England
,
to
haue
bene
but
a
vaunting
beggar
,
and
a
Ruffian
,
and
afterwards
,
a
Pirat
against
the
Spaniards
.
Now
my
Lord
Ambassadour
,
And
for
reliefe
of
such
as
are
forced
to
pay
yearely
great
sommes
of
money
out
of
their
reuenue
,
because
they
forbeare
to
come
to
the
Church
,
At
London
the
of
August
.
1588.
