Informations

to
the

agaynst

therby
to
breake
and
diminish
his

,
by
which
he
is
become
dreadful
vnto
the
rest
of
Christian
Princes
,
&
hath
determyned
to
make
himselfe
lord
ouer
al
,
&
monarch
of
the
whole
world
besides
:
more
ouer
the
said
lettre
doth
shew
how
that
the
selfe
same
king
of
Spayne
,
hath
by
violence
taken
away
the
kingdom
of
Portugall
from
Don
Antonio
the
lawful
king
therof
,
lawfully
created
:
moreouer
that
your
intention
is
to
lett
hereafter
the
nauigation
of
this
king
vnto
the
Indians
,
wherby
he
is
wont
to
bring
home
euery
yeare
into
spayne
great
store
of
gold
and
siluer
,
spices
and
precious
stones
,
worth
many
millions
,
by
which
he
is
become
so
rich
,
as
he
hath
commodity
to
molest
and
indanger
al
other
Princes
and
if
he
should
be
let
alone
he
would
grow
to
be
so
powerable
that
at
lenght
it
would
be
hard
to
resist
him
.
Vppon
which
considerations
your
said
Embassador
,
did
make
humble
supplication
vnto
The
petition
of
the
Inglish
Ambassador
William
Harborn
.
our
greatnes
,
that
we
should
vouch
safe
in
the
beginning
of
this
next
spring
to
send
our
imperial
nauy
vppon
the
said
King
,
assuring
vs
that
he
would
not
be
able
to
resist
the
same
,
for
the
great
ouer
throw
and
damage
which
he
hath
receaued
by
your
nauy
of
late
:
and
seing
he
is
scarse
able
to
resist
your
forces
alone
,
no
doubt
but
that
he
would
be
ouercome
if
of
many
sides
he
be
innaded
at
one
tyme
which
would
be
greatly
(
as
you
say
)
to
the
commodity
of
al
Christian
Princes
,
as
also
of
this
our
high
courte
,
to
which
it
appartayneth
to
take
the
protection
of
such
as
fly
vnto
the
same
for
succour
(
as
Don
Antonio
doth
,
being
driuen
out
of
his
kingdome
by
the
said
kinge
of
Spaine
)
and
therfore
,
that
we
should
giue
him
help
&
succour
,
according
to
the
custome
of
our
noble
auncetours

)
who

alwayes

royal
assistance
to
such

were
oppressed
and

Giuen
this
fiftenth
of
Benedicti
Rhamaram
.
Hitherto
is
the
lettre
of
the
greate
Turke
vnto
your
Queene
,
that
is
to
say
,
of
that
greate
proude
and
barbarous
enemy
of
Christes
holy
name
and
religion
,
wheruppon
this
Dydimus
doth
deduce
dyuers
considerations
of
importance
&
consequence
,
as
namly
first
of
al
,
about
religion
,
Considerations
vppon
the
Turkes
letter
.
and
conscience
,
saying
who
would
haue
thought
when
Ingland
vppon
pretence
of
purer
seruing
of
Christ
,
did
first
seperate
it selfe
in
religion
from
the
rest
of
Christian
kingdomes
,
that
it
would
haue
come
in
so
few
yeares
,
to
that
passe
,
as
to
make
recourse
to
Christes
open
enemye
&
persecutor
,
&
that
agaynst
Christians
?
as
also
that
for
the
hatred
of
some
one
Christian
Prince
,
to
seke
to
put
into
Christes
enemyes
handes
,
so
many
millions
of
his
subiects
as
are
in
Spayne
?
and
to
put
in
hazard
al
Christendome
besides
.
The
second
consideration
is
of
wisdome
and
pollicy
temporal
,
for
what
wisdome
or
pollicy
in
the
world
can
ther
be
in
this
,
sayeth
he
(
though
we
set
a
side
al
feare
of
God
and
religion
)
to
call
so
potent
an
enemye
as
the
Turk
is
,
into
Spayne
,
or
to
thinke
that
he
would
be
a
better
frend
to
the
state
and
subiects
of
Ingland
,
that
are
Christians
,
then
the
king
of
Spayne
,
that
is
a
Christian
,
or
to
imagin
that
when
Spayne
should
be
lost
,
Ingland
could
be
safe
,
or
when
this
ambicious
tyrant
should
haue
enthralled
the
spainards
,
he
would
suffer
the
Inglish
to
liue
at
their
liberty
?
was
not
Constantinople
?
was
not
Africa
and
many
other
realmes
lost
from
Christianity
by
this
most
diuelish
and
miserable
enuy
,
of
one
realme
and
Prince
agaynst
a nother
.
A
third
consideration
is
of
honour
and
reputation
,
which
seemeth
excedingly
to
be
touched
and
distayned
by
many
poyntes
in
this
lettre
discouered
,
for
what
a
thing
is
it
sayeth
he
,
that
Ingland
which
was
wont
to
be
a
kingdome
of
so
great
honour
,
nobility
,
and
valor
in
kingly
proceding
,
should
now
come
to
make
such
a
narration
to
the
great
Turke
,
as
here
is
set
doune
,
by
the
tyrants
owne
letter
,
to
witt
,
that
the
kinge
of
Spayne
meant
to
make
him selfe
lord
of
al
Christedome
,
and
monarch
of
al
the
world
;
that
he
hath
taken
Portugal
by
violence
from
Don
Autonio
the
lawful
king
,
&
lawfully
created
,
wheras
al
the
world
knoweth
that
the
Kings
title
to
Portugal
was
decided
by
the
lawes
of
that
kingdom
it selfe
,
and
by
the
approbation
of
the
last
king
Cardinal
of
the
same
,
who
also
pronounced
Don
Antonio
for
an
open
knowne
bastard
,
whom
all
the
nobility
afterwards
refused
and
no
man
euer
created
him
king
,
but
only
a
few
of
his
owne
seruants
and
some
other
of
the
baser
vulgar
people
sollicited
by
them
in
Lisbone
and
other
partes
neare
ther
about
:
and
yet
that
Ingland
to
the
Turke
should
aduoutch
him
playnly
for
a
lawful
king
and
put
out
by
violence
,
exhort
the
Turke
to
restore
him
by
his
forces
according
to
the
custome
of
his
noble
auncestors
who
are
knowne
to
haue
deuoured
so
infinite
christian
bloode
and
haue
destroyed
so
inumerable
christian
estates
wherein
our
Sauiour
was
longe
honored
and
now
Mahomet
is
adored
:
that
Ingland
should
offer
concurrance
in
this
diuelish
action
,
and
should
take
a
commission
from
the
Turck
(
as
in
this
his
letter
is
giuen
)
to
be
a
spie
agaynst
the
rest
of
christianity
,
and
to
aduertiz
him
of
al
new
warres
&
affayres
Great
indignitye
to
Ingland

that
passe
amonge
Christian
Princes
,
&
finally
to
be
a
frend
to
al
his
frendes
,
and
enimy
to
al
his
enimyes
,
which
is
the
highest
infamye
that
euer
could
fal
vppon
any
state
realme
or
kingdome
that
beareth
the
name
ensigne
or
profession
of
Christian
religion
.
Thes
and
other
contemplations
hath
this
author
vppon
this
matter
,
which
I
passe
ouer
and
do
come
to
tel
you
that
besides
thes
bookes
and
tretises
written
in
Latine
,
I
haue
also
seene
diuers
pamphlets
written
in
Inglish
agaynst
this
proclamation
no
lesse
stinging
then
the
other
in
Latin
,
and
al
of
them
both
of
the
one
and
the
other
sorte
,
translated
commonly
into
other
vulgar
tonges
also
,
as
Spanish
Italian
french
and
flemish
,
which
do
make
the
common
subiect
of
ordinary
talke
in
thes
dayes
to
be
of
your
affayres
in
euery
countrey
.
And
last
of
al
,
here
hath
come
forth
a
booke

by
one

a
man
of
very
great
reputation
in

kingdomes

for
his
learning
grauity
and
eloquence
in
this
language
,
and
this
booke
conteyneth
the
storye
of
Inglish
affayres
from
the
yeare
eightie
and
eight
(
vntil
which
time
he
had
set
forth
the
said
story
in
Spanish
before
according
to
the
latin
story
of
the
Inglishe
Schisme
written
by
D.
Sanders
and
Riston
and
other
aduertisments
)
and
now
he
continueth
this
,
euen
vnto
this
yeare
93.
And
in
this
said
story
he
layeth
forth
also
the
said
proclamation
at
large
,
and
afterwarde
writeth
diuers
large
chapters
for
explication
of
the
same
,
wher
of
the
one
is
,
(
as
I
remember
)
that
this

lawes

in
Ingland

An other
chapter
is

is
not

impious
,
but
also
folish

indiscret

A
third
is
,
that

for

semeth
to

this
last
statute
of

al
the

sort
of

to

not

of

which
is
to

Ingland
full
of
prisons
and

,
as
the
flemish

before
insinuated

a

strange

so

THE
SECOND
PARTE
of
this
letter
,
conteyning
certaine
considerations
of
State
vppon
the
former
relation
.
THis
that
goeth
before
I
hadd
written
in
Spayne
to
send
to
you
from
thence
,
but
afterward
ther
being
offred
a
good
passage
by
sea
,
to
returne
to
Holland
with
certayne
company
that
would
needs
haue
me
go
with
them
out
of
hand
,
I
took
my
papers
and
came
hither
,
wher
meeting
with
diuers
gentlemen
,
captaynes
,
schollers
,
and
others
,
as
wel
Inglish
,
Scottish
,
Irish
,
&
French
,
as
also
some
Italians
&
Dutch
men
both
of
this
country
and
high
Germany
(
for
al
sortes
you
know
do
meete
here
now
)
we
fel
by
chaunce
into
talk
of
Ingland
,
and
of
Inglish
affayres
vppon
occasion
of
the
former
bookes
published
in
al
nations
,
as
hath
bene
said
,
against
the
present
procedinge
of
your
state
,
&
namely
agaynst
your
last
proclamation
and
statutes
,
newly
made
about
religion
,
by
which
occasion
also
I
tould
them
what
I
had
seene
,
and
hard
in
Spayne
and
read
vnto
them
the
former
letter
&
narrarion
which
I
had
made
redy
to
seale
vp
&
send
away
presently
vnto
you
by
the
post
,
but
afterwardes
hearing
diuers
politique
and
important
discourses
(
as
to
me
they
semed
)
which
some
of
these
men
made
vppon
this
narration
of
myne
,
and
some
considerations
also
of
state
as
they
termed
them
,
worthy
the
noting
:
thought
good
to
stay
the
letter
by
me
for
some
dayes
to
the
end
I
might
send
you
also
therwith
the
principal
pointes
which
I
hard
debated
,
and
so
now
I
doe
.
The
chiefe
subiect
or
argnment
of
al
their
speech
for
diuers
dayes
meeting
at
an
ordinary
table
,
was
whether
the
present
gouerment
of
Inglish
affayres
,
setting
a
side
al
regard
of
partiality
to
religion
:
were
in
it selfe
and
according
The

.
to
reason
,
experience
and
law
of
pollicy
,
to
be
accounted
,
wise
and
prudent
,
and
consequently
whether
such
as
chiefly
managed
the
same
,
and
namely
the
lord
Burley
,
were
in
truth
a
wise
má
or
no
?
in
which
particuler
though
some
of
the
company
for
affection
to
his
religion
,
did
for
a
tyme
stand
much
in
his
defence
,
yet
so
many
were
the
arguments
of
the
other
side
,
as
in
the
end
they
semed
greatly
to
yeild
,
&
to
wish
nothing
so
much
,
as
that
the
said
lord
had
bin
present
but
for
one
houre
,
if
it
had
bin
possible
,
or
some
other
that
were
priuy
to
his
councelles
,
to
yeild
reason
of
diuers
points
there
called
in
question
,
which
semed
scarse
defensable
,
not
only
for
lack
of
iustice
or
conscience
(
for
that
therof
they
said
they
would
take
no
regard
)
but
that
euen
in
nature
of
humane
wisdome
and
pollycy
set
downe
by
Machauel
him selfe
,
or
by
any
other
of
lesse
conscience
then
he
,
they
seemed
erronions
and
of
thes
are
such
as
hereafter
do
ensue
.
First
some
of
them
said
(
though
not
al
)
that
The
first
consideration
about
chang
of
religion
.
supposing
that
nether
the
Queene
nor
Sir
William
Cecil
,
at
the
death
of
Queene
Mary
had
any
great
repugnance
of
conscience
to
follow
and
continew
on
the
religion
then
setled
in
the
realme
,
as
both
of
them
(
but
especially
Sir
William
Cecil
)
had
oftentymes
protested
&
euer
shewed
by
deedes
during
that
reigne
:
it
semed
a
great
ouersight
in
reason
of
state
to
make
so
vniuersal
a
change
of
religion
(
which
hath
bin
the
cause
of
al
difficulties
and
daungers
since
)
seing
that
without
this
change
the
Queene
and
he
might
haue
brought
about
,
with
much
more
security
,
whatsoeuer
they
pretended
by
this
other
meanes
,
and
hereuppon
,
were
brought
agayne
into
consideration
,
al
those
reasons
and
arguments
of
state
which
at
that
tyme
Sir
William
Cecil
&
M.
Bacon
did
or
could
lay
before
the
Queene
,
to
moue
her
to
this
change
against
both
her
owne
inclination
,
and
the
opinious
of
the
rest
of
her
principal
councellors
which
reasons
concerning
especially
(
as
is
supposed
and
knowne
)
her
Maiesties
affayres
with
the
pope
,
about
her
fathers
mariage
,
and
her
legitimation
,
were
founde
by
euery
mans
censure
here
present
,
to
be
but
playne
illusions
,
for
that
much
easier
should
her
Maiesty
haue
bin
able
to
compound
those
affayres
with
the
pope
,
if
she
had
continewed
in
his
religion
,
then
by
breaking
from
him
,
and
for
all
other
temporal
matters
,
both
for
her
owne
person
&
the
realme
they
had
proceded
(
no
doubt
)
most
prosperously
,
and
neuer
come
into
thes
brakes
&
breaches
wherin
now
the
whole
world
seeth
them
to
be
.
And
as
for
M.
Cecil
and
Bacons
owne
particuler
aduancements
(
which
is
persupposed
were
principally
respected
in
this
persuasion
)
there
would
not
haue
wanted
occasions
enough
to
furder
the
same
also
in
a
catholique
estate
,
as
we
see
by
so
many
aduaunced
&
set
vp
by
catholique
Kinges
of
our
country
in
former
ages
,
and
the
two
late
minions
Ioyous
and
Pernon
,
exalted
in
our
dayes
to
so
great
dignityes
by
the
last
King
of
fiance
.
And

of
a
page
made

Prince
,
and

his
sonnes
Dukes
with
diuers
others

aduanced
by
the
king
of
Spayne
that
nowis
,
&
that
with
much
lesse
enuy
,
hatred
and
abhomination
,
and
with
much
more
security
of
Continuance
to
their
families
,
then
the
greatnes
of
Cecil
and
Bacon
is
like
to
finde
,
say
these
men
,
that
was
procured
by
so
great
a
conunlsion
of
the
whole
common
wealth
,
and
therfore
in
this
first
poynte
and
entrance
to
al
the
rest
,
they
are
thought
to
haue
byn
neyther
wise
nor
lucky
,
as
one
day
their
posterity
wil
testify
to
the
world
,
&
this
is
the
first
point
that
was
discoursed
of
.
The
second
ensewing
on
this
first
,
was
,
that
The
1.
consideration
of
chang
of
religion
to
a
different
from
all
others
.
supposing
that
change
of
religion
had
byn
the
best
,
and
surest
way
for
those
intents
that
were
designed
,
to
witt
of
her
Maiesties
state
and
thes
mens
preferments
,
yet
sayd
most
of
this
our
conference
,
it
had
bin
a
matter
of
farr
more
wisdome
and
pollicy
(
seing
pollicy
was
their
foundation
)
to
haue
made
this
change
to
some
other
religion
receaued
in
the
world
abroad
,
and
therby
to
haue
ioyned
with
some
other
party
,
or
to
the
communion
of
some
other
people
or
prince
,
when
they
brake
from
that
of
the
Catholique
,
so
strong
and
general
ouer
al
Christendome
,
rather
then
to
set
vp
a
party
alone
,
agreeing
with
no
other
what
soeuer
.
As
for
example
,
if
they
had
councelled
her
Maiesty
to
admitt
Luthers
doctrine
and
religion
as
it
lyeth
,
and
is
practised
by
the
followers
therof
they
had
consequently
ioyned
with
some
Princes
of
Germany
,
as
nam
ly
with
the
Duke
of
Saxony
,
King
of
Denmarck
and
others
that
make
profession
of
that
religion
.
Or
if
they
had
persuaded
her
grace
to
haue
imbraced
the
religion
of
Caluin
plainly
and
intirely
as
he
taught
and
exercised
thesame
,
then
had
they
entred
therby
into
communion
and
frenship
with
Geneua
and
diuers
others
states
of
Swizerland
,
as
also
with
the
Princes
of
the
religion
,
called
the
reformed
in
France
Flanders
and
Scotland
,
and
by
thes
meanes
,
at
least
had
they
gayned
some
new
party
to
be
assured
to
our
realme
,
by
this
band
and
vnion
of
religion
,
which
is
the
strongest
and
most
durable
of
al
other
.
But
now
for
them
to
put
downe
the
old
state
of
religion
that
was
so
vniuersal
and
so
wel
backed
,
and
in
place
therof
to
put
vp
a
new
of
their
owne
only
deuise
,
that
hath
no
stay
or
trusty
frend
at
al
,
out
of
your
owne
realme
,
for
that
it
agreeth
with
no
state
,
people
,
nation
or
common
wealth
christian
besides
your selues
:
was
such
a
peece
of
work
(
say
thes
men
)
as
a
man
may
rather
wonder
at
the
boldnes
of
the
deuisers
then
any
way
commend
their
iudgments
considering
the
inconueniences
that
dayly
do
ensew
therof
and
must
doe
euery
day
more
and
more
,
and
is
impossible
in
mans
reason
,
that
it
can
continew
.
And
albeit
in
Ingland
simple
people
are
often
told
and
many
do
beleue
,
that
al
new
religions
No
religion
this
day

.
sprong
vp
in
thes
dayes
both
in
Germany
,
france
,
Scotland
,
flaunders
&
at
home
,
if
they
be
against
the
Catholiques
,
and
namely
those
of
Lutherans
,
Caluinistes
,
and
protestants
are
but
one
religion
in
effect
,
for
that
they
al
doe
ioyne
in
league
and
frendship
for
the
present
,
to
resist
the
stronger
,
yet
that
is
as
playne
an
error
,
and
deception
as
if
we
should
say
,
that
the
Turk
,
Persian
,
Iew
and
Infidels
,
which
do
ioyne
easily
against
the
Christians
when
and
wher
they
see
him
the
stronger
,
are
al
of
one
religion
,
or
not
enemyes
among
themselues
when
they
see
their
owne
state
free
from
danger
of
the
other
.
Euen
so
,
fareth
it
in
this
cause
proposed
,
the
Lutheran
,
puritan
,
&
protestant
that
haue
taken
ech
one
his
parte
of
the
dominion
which
the
Catholique
possessed
,
and
yet
seing
him
left
so
strong
and
potent
in
Christendom
,
that
euery
day
he
hopeth
and
seketh
to
recouer
agayne
the
possession
that
he
hath
lost
,
no
maruaile
though
they
ioyne
togeather
,
and
wil
seeme
one
for
the
resisting
of
so
vniuersal
and
dangerous
an
aduersary
:
but
if
you
would
see
,
how
thes
men
would
agree
or
be
frendes
together
,
if
once
the
Catholiques
were
extinguished
,
consider
not
only
their
difference
in
doctrine
,
wherby
the
one
part
The
lutrans
and
Caluinistes
&
pu
ritās
great
enimyes

doth
censure
the
others
religion
for
heretical
and
damnable
:
but
much
more
marke
their
manner
of
proceding
in
gouerment
,
where
eyther
part
hath
authority
at
wil
:
as
for
example
,
in
thos
parts
of
Germany
wher
Luthers
religion
is
established
,
is
ther
any
vse
of
Caluins
religion
permitted
?
no
truly
,
nor
the
professois
therof
so
much
as
tollerated
to
liue
in
that
estate
or
to
be
buryed
in
the
same
churches
or
church-yeards
with
them
,
but
are
cast
out
euen
into
the
common
feilds
,
as
people
accursed
,
and
excommunicated
,
wherof
in
particuler
your
Inglish
marchants
that
lyue
and
trafique
in
Hambrough
or
ány
other
townes
vnder
Lutheran
gouerment
can
wel
beare
witnes
.
Or
if
contrary-wise
in
Ingland
or
Geneua
at
this
day
,
any
company
of
people
would
put
vp
the
exercise
of
the
Lutheran
masse
,
defende
the
real
presence
in
the
Sacrament
,
bring
in
the
vse
of
paynted
or
carued
images
in
their
churches
,
practise
confession
,
hold
three
or
fower
sacraments
as
the
Lutherans
do
:
should
they
not
(
think
you
)
be
pursued
and
punished
?
yes
no
doubt
,
and
that
with
reason
,
seing
the
state
of
Ingland
alloweth
not
this
doctrine
,
nor
practise
of
germayne
religion
,
wherby
we
may
gather
what
true
accord
and
frenship
ther
is
or
may
be
,
betwene
thes
professions
,
or
how
thes
people
would
or
could
long
liue
together
in
vnity
if
they
had
no
common
aduersary
.
And
this
of
the
Lutheran
and
reformed
religion
so
called
in
those
parts
of
Germany
,
wher
it
is
receaued
:
But
if
we
consider
the
other
party
of
reformed
or
new
religion
planted
by
Caluin
and
Beza
in
Geneua
,
France
,
Flaunders
and
Scotland
,
albeit
the
state
of
Ingland
do
follow
more
points
therof
in
doctrin
then
of
the
other
before
named
Lutheran
:
yet
how
many
and
great
irreconciliable
differences
ther
be
,
is
abundantly
set
forth
in
the
multitude
of
bookes
written
of
late
the
one
agaynst
the
other
,
&
especially
by
that
set
out
now
presently
by
order
and
authority
of
the
bishops
intituled
.
A

of

discredited
and
made
heretical
,
and
seditions
,
yea
Caluin
and
Beza
themselues
much
disgraced
and
impugned
.
Wherunto
,
if
we
do
add

of
such
as
lately
they
haue
put

in

,

defending
of
this
doctrine
,
&
the
others
resolution
to
suffer
the
same
:
we
may
easely
see
what
would
become
of
thes
two
partes
if
things
went
to
their
owne
willes
,
to
witt
,
that
eyther
the
puritan
had
so
ful
power
to
reuenge
himselfe
of
the
protestant
by
sword
,
as
he
defyeth
him
in
worde
,
or
that
the
protestant
were
so
free
from
suspition
and
danger
of
the
catholique
,
as
he
had
leasure
to
extirpat
the
putitan
as
he
desireth
.
By
this
then
do
we
see
euidently
sayed
thes
men
,
that
the

Sir

Bacon
mad
&
persuaded
the
Queen
vnto
at
the
beginning
,
was
no
wise
or
considerate
choise
:
for
albeit
it
semed
at
that
tyme
,
to
serue
fitly
their
turnes
for
to
put
downe
the
old

bring
al

handes
,
to
place
new
bishops
,
Deanes
,
Atchdeacons
and
other
like
dignityes
vnder
the
name
of
the
Queene
:
yet
was
it
most
dangerous
and
preiudicial
to
the
weal
publique
,
in
that
it
was
peculiar
,
solitary
and
differét
from
al
other
,
as
hath
bin
declared
,
and
consequently
must
needs
expect
a
perpetual
warr
and
contradiction
,
and
that
,
not
only
at
the
catholiques
handes
,
but
much
more
and
sharper
at
the
other
two
parties
aboue
named

if
the
catholique
party
could
be
extinguished
,
so
as
the
laberinth
of
Inglish
state
and
religion
,
seemeth
hereby
to
be
inextricable
,
and
much
approued
was
the
saying
of
S.
Christopher
S.
Christo
phor
Hattons
saying
.
Hatton
late
chauncelor
,
to
a
certayne
secret
frende
of
his
a
lyttle
before
his
death
,
that
the
clew
t●yned
vp
by
thes
deuises
in
Ingland
,
was
so
Intanged
,
as
no
man
possibly
could
vntwist
the
same
but
by
breaking
al
in
peces
,
which
he
spake
to
the
great
grief
both
of
himselfe
and
him
that
heard
it
.
A

A
third
consideration
of
the
manner
of
proceeding
by
cōp●●●lo
in
matters
of
religion
.
proceding
to
hould
vp
and
sett
forwards
this
forme
of
religion
,
chosen
for
Ingland
:
in
which
poynte
also
thes
men
founde
much
defect
of
fore
sight
and
pollicy
in
thes
that
were
the
first
s●tters
vp
therof
:
for
if
her
maiesty
had
bin
perswaded
at
the
begining
,
to
haue
followed
the
course
of
Germayne
states
and
Princes
,
which
was
to
giue
liberty
of
conscience
to
al
,
and
to
presse
none
by
violent
meanes
,
to
be
of
their
religion
,
but
only
to
inuite
them
with
rewards
of
preferment
:
it
is
very
like
that
matters
had
passed
as
quietly
this
day
in
Ingland
as
they
do
in
Germany
,
where
al
are
quiet
,
and
the
princes
safe
,
and
little
contradictions
or
falling
out
for
such
affayres
.
And
seing
that
Inglish
men
do
come
of
Germayne
race
,
it
may
be
they
would
haue
followed
them
in
this
poynt
also
,
but
howsoeuer
that
be
,
most
likely
it
is
that
matters
had
neuer
come
to
those
open
broyles
,
hatreds
and
mortal
enimyties
that
now
they
are
come
vnto
in
Ingland
:
for
men
being
not
pressed
,
many
would
haue
had
little
care
of
being
zelous
or
heddy
on
eyther
part
:
&
preferment
only
would
haue
moued
infinite
people
to
follow
that
wherby
they
might
haue
profited
:
and
others
not
stinged
or
compelled
to
the
contrary
,
would
haue
remayned
doubtful
,
but
yet
quiet
in
their
consultations
,
what
way
to
follow
,
and
so
should
her
Maiesty
haue
bin
serued
of
al
,
and
hated
of
none
,
and
aduauncments
sufficient
would
haue
remayned
for
al
such
as
would
haue
bin
fotward
in
that
her
Maiesty
had
most
fauored
.
But
now
by
this
other
course
,
that
hath
bin
taken
,
of
tormoyling
,
tormenting
,
and
beating
men
to
their
religion
,
the
state
is
growne
to
be
both
odious
a
broad
,
and
dangerous
at
home
,
and
not
durable
.
First
,
for
that
as
the
poet
saveth
.
Nitimur
inuetitum
semper
,
mans
natural
inclination
,
is
to
esteeme
and
desire
that
which
is
denyed
him
,
and
to
reiect
that
,
which
is
thrust
vppon
him
by
violence
.
But
yet
in
no
one
thinge
so
much
is
this
seene
,
as
in
matters
of
religion
,
which
of
al
other
affayres
,
is
the
poynt
that
most
requireth
liberty
,
both
of
iudgment
and
will
,
&
least
beareth
the
force
of
strayning
:
and
so
we
see
by
experience
,
that
her
Maiesty
at
the
beginning
,
entering
and
raigning
for
some
yeares
with
mildnes
,
found
no
difficulty
,
(
to
speak
of
)
on
any
part
though
at
her
entrance
the
whole
realme
was
,
settled
in
an
other
religion
.
but
now
after
twenty
yeares
pressing
men
with
restraints
,
imprisonments
,
losse
of
goodes
and
liues
,
the
number
is
founde
euery
day
more
greater
of
them
,
that
openly
make
resistance
,
and
do
lesse
respect
and
reuerence
both
prince
law
and
gouuerment
:
and
so
euery
day
wil
be
more
and
more
,
both
of
Catholiques
and
puritans
for
the
reasons
afore
said
.
Which
thing
certayne
pollitick
councellors
of
,
Iulian
the
Emperor
surnamed
the
Apostata
obseruing
by
experience
of
al
the
rigorous
courses
of
former
Emperors
before
hym
,
they
persuaded
him
to
change
that
course
of
forcing
,
into
alluring
,
and
so
he
did
,
and
wrought
more
effect
in
few
yeares
by
that
meanes
,
then
the
other
had
done
by
the
contrary
in
many
,
and
would
(
no
doubt
)
haue
done
much
more
,
if
his
life
and
reigne
had
not
bin
so
short
.
To
this
discourse
said
one
of
the
company
,
if
An
obiection
.
this
be
so
,
how
then
do
catholiques
vse
rigor
in
punishing
them
that
are
not
of
there
religion
,
and
do
preuaile
therin
,
as
we
see
by
experience
of
Spayne
and
other
countryes
,
wheroften
tymes
thes
new
religions
beginning
to
budd
vp
haue
bin
kept
downe
and
vtterly
extinguished
by
punishment
.
To
this
answered
an
other
saying
,
they
wil
The
answere
.
saye
that
the
cause
of
this
is
the
truth
of
their
religion
,
and
the
falshood
of
the
other
,
&
that
it
is
peculiar
to
their
religion
,
by
promise
of
Christ
,
to
endure
for
euer
,
and
triumph
ouer
al
sects
:
but
for
that
this
is
not
graunted
by
al
but
remayneth
in
dispute
,
(
I
wil
quoth
he
)
yeald
an
euident
difference
heerof
in
pollicy
and
reason
,
which
is
,
that
Catholique
Princes
which
by
force
and
punishment
,
haue
extinguished
other
religions
,
and
sects
that
began
to
spting
vp
in
there
realmes
,
did
take
thos
new
blossomes
at
the
begining
whiles
they
were
yet
grene
,
and
not
wel
setled
and
their
followers
not
many
,
&
so
I
do
confesse
that
all
religions
may
be
rooted
out
,
sauing
only
the
trew
which
Christ
himselfe
defendeth
,
and
so
many
do
thinke
that
if
Charles
the
Emperor
had
apprehended
Luther
at
his
first
seing
him
in
Augusta
,
(
as
many
of
his
counsel
perswaded
him
)
he
had
crushed
perhapps
his
doctrine
in
the
very
kyrnel
,
and
the
like
may
be
said
of
Caluin
and
Beza
,
as
also
perchaunce
of
the
puritans
in
Ingland
if
rigor
had
bin
vsed
towards
them
at
their
first
rising
:
though
this
last
of
the
Puritans
be
very
doubt
ful
,
for
that
their
foundation
being
(
as
after
shal
be
shewed
)
the
very
doctrine
it self
that
by
publique
authority
is
set
forth
,
taught
,
and
maynteyned
now
in
Ingland
:
it
must
needes
continually
rise
out
of
the
same
,
as
the
heate
from
the
fyer
so
as
it
is
impossible
to
nourish
the
one
&
extinguish
the
other
.
As
for
the
Catholiques
in
Ingland
,
the
reason
Catholiques
not
easely
extinguished
.
is
far
different
,
for
they
being
no
new
beginers
but
old
possessors
of
the
realme
,
they
were
so
many
at
her
Maiestyes
first
entraunce
to
the
crowne
,
as
they
could
not
wel
be
al
extinguished
together
,
except
the
land
should
haue
bin
left
wast
,
nor
can
be
easely
at
this
day
extinguished
by
force
in
any
reason
of
state
or
probability
that
I
can
see
:
for
I
do
not
comprehende
those
only
by
this
name
,
which
are
recusants
and
discouer
themselues
vnto
the
world
(
for
those
might
easely
perhapps
be
made
away
as
many
do
suspect
is
meant
by
the
late
statute
of
restrayning
them
to
certayne
places
)
but
much
more
do
I
vnderstand
by
this
people
those
also
,
who
goe
not
so
far
forwardes
as
to
discouer
their
religion
(
at
least
wise
to
put
themselues
within
danger
of
lawes
)
and
yet
in
mynde
,
wil
,
and
iudgement
,
are
they
nothing
behinde
the
rest
,
yea
so
much
the
more
feruent
inwardly
,
agaynst
the
state
,
by
how
much
more
they
are
forced
by
feare
to
dissemble
outwardly
their
iudgements
,
and
keep
in
their
affections
,
and
thes
are
also
of
two
sortes
,
the
one
knowne
or
suspected
,
though
nothing
can
be
layed
agaynst
them
by
law
,
but
the
other
not
knowne
nor
suspected
at
al
,
but
of
good
authority
in
the
realme
,
and
so
much
the
more
dangerous
when
occasion
shal
be
offred
.
Agaynst
,
al
thes
then
,
what
doth
the
course
of
seuerity
preuayle
?
those
few
that
are
knowne
recusants
may
be
vexed
and
tossed
,
as
they
haue
bin
thes
later
yeares
,
and
some
particuler
courtyer
may
be
aduanced
by
begging
their
goodes
and
landes
,
but
what
is
this
to
the
common
wealth
?
none
or
few
of
them
are
conuerted
,
ther
number
groweth
euery
day
rather
then
deminisheth
,
and
if
any
do
or
shal
yeald
to
goe
to
the
church
,
what
is
gayned
therby
?
they
change
not
in
iudgment
,
nor
come
with
their
hartes
,
but
with
their
bodyes
or
tong
only
,
their
inward
auersion
is
so
much
the
more
increased
towards
the
state
,
by
how
much
more
violent
this
outward
compulsion
is
:
and
in
the
meane
space
their
frendes
and
kynred
are
more
exasperated
,
their
fellow
catholiques
not
yet
recusants
alienated
:
the
people
seing
their
afflictions
more
moued
to
compassion
towards
them
,
forrayne
princes
more
egged
to
take
their
partes
,
what
then
in
the
end
is
like
to
come
of
this
.
And
if
you

them
to
death
or
driue
them
out
of

what

also

ther

to
come

?
let
vs
gesse
of
the
tyme
to
come
by
that
which
is
past
:
those
hundreths
that
haue
bine
put
to
death
,
haue
they
done
the
state
good
or
hurte
?
abroad
we
see
them
published
for
martyres
,
in
al
bookes
,
tables
,
pictures
and
storyes
that
are
written
,
and
no
one
thinge
euer
moued
strangers
so
much
to
admire
,
Ingland
as
the
sight
&
knowledge
of
this
.
At
home
their
estimation
and
parties
do
increase
hereby
,
seing
ther
is
none
that
eyther
is
banished
or
put
to
death
for
this
cause
,
but
is
eyther
estemed
as

or
confessor
,
by
them
,
&
so
eyther
in

of
his
holynes
or
in
hope
he
may
returne
agayne
to

effects
it

The
increase
of
seminaries

consider
that
before
order
was
giuen
in
Inglish
vniuersities
at
home
,
to
examine
schollers
and
presse
them
to
othes
,
the
Inglish
scholler
was
scarse
hard
of
in
forrayne
scholes
and
vniuersytyes
,
neyther
was
there
mention
of
Inglish
seminaryes
to
be
erected
in
straynge
countries
,
but
after
that
vppon
molestation
at
home
,
schollers
began
to
repayre
ouer
to
Doway
,
and
then
vppon
the
practise
from
Ingland
to
driue
them
from
thence
,
they
fledd
to
Rhemes
and
increased
greatly
in
number
(
though
al
left
not
Doway
but
for
one
remayned
two
places
of
recourse
)
and
then
agayne
vppon
dealing
with
the
king
of
france
for
their
expulsion
from
Rhemes
an
other
Seminary
also
was
erected
by
the
pope
in
Rome
,
and
after
that
agayne
when
this
was
pursued
from
Ingland
by
many
edictes
,
an
other
was
erected
in
Valhodolid
in
Spayne
,
and
after
an
other
proclamation
set
out
agaynst
that
,
an
other
Seminary
presently
was
set
vp
in
Seuil
,
as
before
in
the
narration
hath
bin
touched
,
and
out
of
thes
haue

do
come
euery

into

Priestes
in
such
abundance
,
as
my
Lord
Tresorer
himselfe
confesseth
that

into

put

yet
more
hundreths
grow
of
them
euery
day
,
and
in
the
meane
space
her
Maiesty
waxeth
old
,
the
realme
groweth
to
more
dissention
and
confusion
in

,
the
Puritans
become
very
hoat
and
heady
,
the
people
wearyed
and
amazed
,
whith
thes
manner
of
procedings
,
what
then
shal
be
thee
end
at
lenght
of
this
course
think
you
?
Truely
quoth
one
of
the
company
for
this
poynt
of
the
Catholiques
,
I
know
not
what
to
saye
,
the
euent
being
doubtful
,
for
the
causes
&
experience
which
you
haue
now
alleaged
:
but
for
the
puritans
I
haue
hard
some
men
of
discourse
auouch
in
Ingland
,
that
they
will
certainly
be
extinguished
,
if
the
Queenes
Maiestie
liue
any
number
of
yeares
for
that
the
whol
councell
semeth
fully
bent
therunto
,
&
were
it
not
for
my
L.
Treasorer
who
is
thought
to
fauour
them
in
secret
,
men
iudge
that
it
would
very
quickly
be
brought
to
passe
.
Tush
,
you
are
deceaued
said
the
other
,
nay
Whether
the
Puritans
may
be
rooted
on
t
or
not
in
Ingland
.
much
more
possible
&
likely
it
is
that
the
puritan
shal
ouercome
the
protestant
then
the
contrary
:
for
that
the
puritan
buyldeth
directly
vppon
the
protestants
first
groundes
in
religion
,
&
deduceth
therof
clearly
and
by
ordinary
consequence
al
his
conclusions
,
which
the
protestant
cannot
deny
by
divinity
,
but
only
by
pollicy
&
humane
ordination
,
or
by
turning
to
catholique
answers
contrary
to
ther
owne
principles
:
and
therfore
it
is
hard
for
any
man
sincerly
to
be
a
protestant
,
but
that
he
wil
easily
passe
on
also
more
or
lesse
to
be
a
puritan
:
and
only
they
in
effect
wil
be
agaynst
them
,
who
are
interessed
in
the

laying

are

,
and
seing
the
puritans
now
so
strong
it
may
be
dangerous
to
resist

,
and
that
their
religion
is
not
to
take
any
thing
from
the

,
but
rather
to
bring
vnto
him
,
for
as

it

,
to

any

,
that
hath
not
the
auersion
imprinted
in

as
this

hath
,
to
enkendle
his
zeal
to
be
a
puritan
.
And
this
is
the
likelyhoode
that
I
conceaue
that
puritans
wil
preuaile
in
tyme
against
the
protestants
:
and
this
tyme
I
beleeue
is
not
so
far
of
as
that
you
shal
euer
see
this
act
now
made
agaynst
them
continued
,
or
renued
,
in
any
other
parliament
&
so
it
is
likely
that
those
of
their
partye
wel
vnderstoode
it
when
they
lett
this
statute
passe
in
this
parliament
,
rather
to
awaken
the
puritans
therby
in
deed
then
to
seeke
their
redresse
or
conformitye
in
religion
.
For
what
?
doe
you
thinke
that
any
Puritan
in
the
world
wil
euer
be
forced
to
make
that
forme
of
recantation
and
humiliation
to
the
protestant
,
which
is
set
downe
in
the
statute
?
to
wit
,
that
I
do
humbly
confesse

acknowledge
that
I
haue
greuously
offended

vsing
and

Nay

the

he

before
he
shall
driue
him

.
It
may
chance
driue
him
to
buckle
with
the
protestant
de
summarei
,
somewhat
sooner
then
he
had
thought
before
,
therby
to
try
which
of
them
shall
haue
the
vpper
hand
to
force
the
other
to
recat
,
but
him
I
thinke
,
verely
they
shal
neuer
bring
vnder
,
but
rather
by
egging
of
him
put
him
sooner
vp
,
who
first
or
last
wil
rise
aboue
the
other
,
at
leastwise
this
is
my
iudgment
of
the
matter
take
it
as
you
wil.
And
as
for
the
papist
,
me
thinke
the
difficulty
of
victory
is
much
lesse
agaynst
him
,
eyther
for
putitan
or
protestant
that
wil
be
ridd
of
him
,
seing
that
now
by

(
as
hath

)
they
haue
him
by
the
legg
and
so

as
they
may

for
the

(
sayeth

it
is
certayne
that

for
seing
the
ruyne
that
by
them

iminent
,
as
it
is

,
they

&
wheras
you
say
,
that
ther
is

zeale

wil
easely
passe
on
to
be
a

,
except

it
may
be
so
in
many
,
who
do
only

from

of

and

,
with
such
heate
and
greedines
,
as
they
neuer
looke
further
but
to
that
which
is
before
them

but
in
many
others
it
may

a

hereafter
,
the
matter
is
vncertayne
how
he
would
be
inclined
in
such
a
case
,
and
the
reason
which
you
alleaged
,
that
the
puritan
religion
wil
take
nothing
from
him
,
but
add
much
vnto
him
,
as
bishoprickes
deanryes
and
the
like
,
it
is
very
doubtful
,
with
me
how
it
would
synck
into
him
,
and
to
his
councel
.
For
first
it
is
euident
,
that
the
puritan
religion
taketh
from
the
Prince
al
his
primacy
and
authority
ecclesiastical
,
which
in
a
protestant
gouerment
is
one
of
the
chiefest
pillars
and
foundations
of
al
the
rest
.
The
Brownists
also
do
take
away
his
authority
to
make
lawes
,
appoynt
orders
,
&
subiecteth
him
to
the
excommunications
and
censures
of
vulgar
ministeres
and
mutinous
congregations
,
and
the
practise
therof
we
se
partly
in
Scotland
where
the
king
is
tossed
and
tumbled
by
troblesome
people
as
it
pleaseth
the
ministers
without
heades
,
to
blow
into
their
eares
,
so
as
neyther
he
nor
they
haue
any
certainty
of
stay
at
all
.
The
reason
also
of
adding
bishoprickes
and
other
ecclesiastical
liuings
to
the
crowne
is
very
doubtful
and
ambiguous
with
me
,
for
seing
they
are
alredy
at
the
Princes
disposition
,
I
see
not
what
great
gift
or
addition
it
can
be
to
him
,
if
any
man
wil
pul
them
downe
to
his
handes
:
nay
it
is
now
by
experience
of
some
yeares
brought
in
question
,
whether
it
were
profitable
euen
for
temporal
respects
vnto
king
Henry
the
eight
,
to
pul
downe
the
monasteryes
altogether
and
distribute
there
possessions
to
particular
men
as
he
did
,
or
to
haue
permitted
them
to
stand
,
and
now
and
then
to
haue
fleezed
them
of
ther
wealth
,
seing
many
are
of
opinion
(
and
so
am
I
also
)
that
it
is
more
gayne
ful
to
sheer
euery
yeare
a
sheepe
&
now
and
then
to
pul
of

,
then
to

tyme
the
woll
and
flesh
of
the
one
,
or
the
frute
&
wood
together
of
the
other
,
and
this
for
the
protestant
.
In
like
manner
I
do
not
think
the
puritans

agaynst
the
papist
is
like
to
be
so
easy
as

you
imagin
,
for
as
for
the
massacre
(
if
any
such
thing
should
be
mtended
as
I
would
thinke
rather
no
)
at
least
it
is
not
probable
that
it
wil
be
suffred
in
this
Queenes
dayes
;
first
for
the
troble
and
peril
that
such
an
act
might
bring
vnto
the
common
wealth
:
and
secondly
for
that
therby
the
puritan
should
be
strengthned
and
much
armed
to
oppresse
also
the
protestant
,
if
once
this
counterpoyze
of
the
papist
were
cut
of
.
And
as
for
after
her
Maiesties
death
,
vntrl
an
other
Prince
be
setled
,
of
the
many
that
are
like
to
pretende
it
may
be
thought
,
that
the
Catholique
wil
prouide
sufficiently
for
himselfe
,
not
to
be
oppressed
by
any
sudden
violence
;
which
the
more
easily
he
shal
be
able
to
do
,
for
that
it
is
impossible
any
such
matter
to
be
executed
generally
without
some
former
desigments
conferences
and
consultations
,
seing
that
many
must
be
the
executioners
therof
,
and
as
impossible
it
is
,
to
haue
any
such
consultations
or
desigments
,
but
that
some
,
notice
wil
come
to
the
catholiques
before
hande
,
seing
ther
is
no
coure
councel
,
campe
,
or
company
lightly
in
Ingland
,
but
that
it
hath
some
or
other
,
eyther

,
religion
,
kindred
,
allyance
,

,
obligation
or

of

yea
the

themselues
that

,
if
it
be

,
let

forward
other

in
any
religion
as
they
wil
,
yet
is
it
impossible
but
for
some
of
the
afore
sayd
causes
they
wil
shew
some
frenship
,
as
it
is
easely
sene
in
al
the
searches
that
commonly
are
commaunded
,
which
being
concluded
neuer
so
secretly
,
are
yet
commonly
fore knowne
more
or
lesse
by
the
Catholiques
,
and
much
more
wil
be
so
bloody
&
boy
sterous
an
action
as
a
massacre
or

slaughter
would
be
:
and
therfore
my
opinon
is
,
The
conclusion
.
that
thes
three
partyes
and
factions
of
protestants
,
puritans
,
and
papistes
,
wil
buckle
together
longer
yet
,
then
you
do
imagin
,
and
which
part
shal
haue
the
vpper
hand
in

ende
,
God
only
knoweth
:
and
therfore
if
my
L.

,
might
haue
anoyded

garboyle
in

(
as

might

the

into

my

prudence
therin
discussed
,
as
namely
and
among
other
thinges
his
proceding
with
the
nobilitye
,
whether
it
were
true
policy
or
no
to
procede
so
with
the
nobility
as
he
hath
done
,
pulling
downe
the
principal
and
holding
the
rest
out
of
gouerment
,
and
doings
,
which
was
the
fal
and
ruyne
of
Crumwell
,
as
also
the
holding
so
many
chiefe
offices
together
in
his
owne
handes
,
which
must
needes
be
a
most
odious
poynte
,
from
which
in
pollicy
an
ambitious
man
hath
to
fly
for
better
establishing
of
that
which
he
getteth
,
but
in
thes
things
ther
were
so
many
reasons
alleaged
on
the
one
side
&
the
other
,
as
it
was
hard
to
giue
iudgment
which
was
to
be
preferred
in
Filijs

Saeculi
.
Other
poyntes
ther
semed
of
more
importance
Other
considerations
.
and
consequence
as
the
open
breaking
with
al
the
old
leagues
of
Ingland
,
the
spending
of
so
infinite
treasure
in
forrayne
and
vnnecessary
warres
,
for
which
any
Prince
that
shal
follow
must
needes
by
al
probabilyty
cal
him
or
his
vnto
accompt
.
The
authorising
of
so
open
and
ordinary
piracy
by
which
the
honor
,
substance
,
and
subiects
of
the
realme
are
so
notoriously
damaged
,
the
multitude
of
straingers
drawne
into
the
realme
which
deuour
and
impouerish
the
natural
inhabitants
:
the
many
bookes

and
proclamations
which
he
hath
put
forth
with
out
consideration
,
which
haue
giuen
aduantage
vnto
the
enemye
:
al
thes
thinges
(
I
say
)
though
diuers
reasons
and
considerations
were
alleaged
to
defend
or
excuse
them
:
yet
inclined
the
maior
part
of
this
conference
,
to
note
them
rather
of
some
want
of
iudgment
then
otherwise
.
But
of
al
other
thinges
the
matter
of
succession
The
Queenes
not
marrying
.
and
her
Maiestyes
not
marrying
,
was
thought
by
al
mens
verdicts
to
make
demonstration
of
grear
and
notable
wants
in
Sir
William
Cecil
and
M.
Nicholas
Bacon
at
the
begynninge
,
not
only
of
mature
fore
sight
and
wisdome
,
but
also
of
true
loue
and
respect
towards
their
countrey
and
fidelity
towards
her
Maiesty
,
for
that
seing
their
only
ende
in
this
great
affayte
to
perswade
her
Maiesty
not
to
marry
,
vnder
presence
of
more
fiedome
and
liberty
,
and
lesse
subiection
to
her
person
,
could
be
no
other
in
truth
,
but
only
for
their
owne
greater
power
and
hand
ouer
her
,
(
which
they
wel
saw
could
not
hold
so
absolute
if
she
had
euer
taken
a
husband
)
this
consideration
ought
not
to
haue
preuayled
so
much
with
them
,
eyther
in
conscience
,
reason
,
or
pollicy
,
but
that
they
should
haue
looked
to
the
euent
which
now
draweth
on
,
to
wit
the
peril
of
vniuersal
distruction
to
their
countrey
,
wherin
them selues
,
their
children
,
and
posterity
(
for
whose
aduauncement
they
committed
this
error
)
are
also
conteyned
.
Truth
it
is
(
sayd
one
of
the
company
)
that
The
L.
Burlyes
gaine
by
the
Queenes
not
marrying
.
they
two
men
and
especially
my
L.
Burley
,
hath
had
as
long
and
large
and
vniforme
a
reigne
vnder
this
Queene
as
euet
lightly
councellor
or
courtyer
or
fauorite
had
vnder
any
prince
,
and
perhapps
the
like
is
scarse
to
be
read
of
,
especially
so
vniforme
(
as
I
haue
said
)
that
is
,
so
constant
and
like
it selfe
,
and
stil
with
increase
without
ebbes
and
flowes
,
rysings
and
fallyngs
as
other
wise
is
accustomed
to
happen
:
and
certayne
it
is
that
the
chiefest
grownde
of
al
this
,
hath
bin
the
Queenes
being
a
sole
woman
,
who
therby
hath
bin
enforced
to
giue
her selfe
wholy
into
his
handes
,
and
any
husband
that
she
might
haue
had
must
needes
haue
a
bridged
much
of
this
absolute
sway
,
by
taking
into
his
owne
handes
or
to
his
frendes
,
some
part
of
the
gouerment
,
which
this
man
now
hath
possessed
wholy
,
hauing
bin
to
the
Queene
both
husband
,
and
master
,
counceller
,
and
gouernour
thes
many
yeares
.
But
yet
seing
that
the
continuation
and
confirmation
of
thes
things
,
and
namely
the
conseruation
of
titles
,
honors
,
and
riches
by
thes
meanes
gotten
to
his
posterity
,
dependeth
wholy
of
the
succession
of
the
crowne
(
seing
her
Maiesty
cannot
liue
euer
)
it
cannot
be
thought
wisdome
in
my
L.
Burley
that
for
the
respect
of
his
present
particuler
sway
,
he
should
suffer
the
publique
(
and
ther
with
also
his
owne
for
the
tyme
to
come
)
to
fal
into
such
desperat
termes
of
open
peril
as
now
we
see
them
in
,
by
occasion
of
her
Maiesties
not
marrying
.
To
this
one
of
the
conference
sayde
that
he
could
not
imagin
that
this
matter
of
succession
A
bont
the
succession
.
remayned
so
doubtful
and
dangerous
in
the
iudgment
of
my
L.
Tresorer
,
as
it
seemed
to
vs
&
other
men
abroade
,
but
that
he
had
some
secret
and
sure
designement
and
plot
contriued
in
his
owne
head
,
to
put
in
execution
so
sone
as
God
shal
take
her
Maiesty
from
vs
,
as
the
Dukes
of
Northumberland
and
Suffolk
had
in
tyme
of
King
Edward
the
sixte
,
though
other
men
knew
not
therof
,
and
especially
when
they
saw
the
King
,
not
like
to
liue
long
,
and
so
when
all
men
looked
for
a
Mary
Queene
,
they
came
forth
with
a
Queene
Iane
,
and
so
may
this
man
sayeth
he
with
some
Arbella
Queene
or
the
like
,
when
least
it
is
expected
.
No
doubt
(
sayed
another
)
if
his
designment
may
take
place
,
the
lort
shal
fal
vppon
some
woman
or
childe
,
whom
he
may
gouerne
as
he
hath
done
hitherto
,
for
vnder
any
male
Prince
of
age
,
he
wil
neuer
willingly
liue
,
seing
hither
to
he
hath
bin
master
of
wardes
,
both
to
the
realme
,
Queene
,
and
councel
for
so
many
yeares
together
,
and
for
that
ther
be
so
many
pretenders
now
to
the
crowne
as
men
do
saye
(
for
the
fame
goeth
there
wanteth
not
three
or
fowre
at
the
least
)
his
Lord
ship
shal
not
want
store
to
make
his
choise
of
.
And
that
is
our
misery
said
a
Gentleman
lawyer
newly
come
forth
of
Ingland
,
that
ther
be
so
many
pretenders
to
this
garland
,
which
only
one
can
weare
:
and
wheras
you
say
that
ther
be
three
or
fower
,
I
can
auoutch
vnto
you
that
ther
be
more
then
three
tymes
three
which
by
interest
of
succession
may
pretend
therunto
&
stand
in
hope
to
get
the
same
.
You
meane
(
said
an
other
)
by
order
of
succession
The
multitude
of
compititors
to
the
crowne
.
in
longe
tyme
to
come
;
nay
sayeth
he
,
I
meane
immediatly
next
after
the
Queene
that
now
is
,
and
in
the
first
degree
.
For
albeit
ther
be
among
them
(
as
of
necessity
ther
must
)
diners
and
different
degrees
of
discent
;
yet
euery
one
of
them
hath
particuler
reasons
to
perswade
himselfe
and
others
,
that
he
ought
to
be
next
in
possession
,
and
iustly
may
stand
not
only
in
hope
,
but
also
in
defence
therof
by
the
sword
if
he
be
able
,
or
otherwise
by
negotiation
of
his
frendes
,
and
the
more
part
of
them
are
in
such
case
,
as
they
must
neades
take
armes
for
tryal
of
their
title
,
though
they
would
forgo
it
,
for
that
no
security
of
peace
can
be
made
by
them
with
their
fellow
competitors
,
but
with
armes
in
their
handes
,
and
then
imagin
you
(
quoth
he
)
when
so
many
of
the
blood
royall
shall
atme
themselues
,
what
shal
become
of
Ingland
and
Inglish
men
.
To
this
speach
of
the
Gentleman
,
al
that
were
present
stoode
very
attentiue
,
marueling
much
to
heare
him
name
so
great
a
number
of
competitors
to
the
crowne
,
affirming
that
they
had
neuer
hard
that
ther
we
are
so
many
,
or
so
resolute
euery
man
to
make
good
and
set
forwarde
his
particuler
title
.
Some
said
that
in
Ingland
they
had
hard
in
tymes
past
,
that
the
Queene
of
Scots
had
a
title
,
which
men
vnderstood
commonly
,
was
cut
of
by
her
late
attainder
:
some
talke
also
there
had
bin
of
the
Earle
of
hertfords
children
,
and
now
lately
of
one
Arbella
whom
men
saye
that
the
Earle
of
Licester
went
about
to
haue
marryed
her
to
his
sonne
,
and
so
to
haue
made
her
Queene
,
some
speech
ther
hath
bin
also
of
an
old
title
of
the
Earle
of
Huntington
,
which
commonly
men
thought
was
litle
to
the
putpose
:
but
of
so
great
a
numher
as
this
man
speaketh
of
,
and
that
euery
parte
should
hould
so
pregnant
hope
of
preuayling
,
they
saide
they
neuer
imagined
:
and
desired
the
Gentleman
very
earnestly
to
imparte
with
them
more
in
particuler
what
he
knew
in
that
affaire
,
and
so
did
especially
a
certayne
Ciuilian
Lawyer
newly
come
from
Italy
Spayne
and
France
,
wher
he
had
both
trauayled
and
stndyed
as
also
he
had
donne
in
some
partes
of
Germany
,
and
semed
much
giuen
to
matter
of
state
,
and
therfore
made
instance
to
the
Gentleman
to
say
some
what
of
this
argument
,
and
subiect
,
offering
also
to
adioyne
his
verdicte
where
any
thing
should
offer
it selfe
within
the
compasse
of
his
profession
reading
or
experience
.
To
which
the
Gentelman
answered
,
this
is
a
matter
(
quoth
)
he
that
I
haue
studied
diuers
yeares
and
conferred
in
Ingland
with
men
of
diuers
factions
and
affections
in
this
behalfe
,
who
though
the
statute
forbid
treating
of
these
poynts
,
yet
in
secret
do
they
discourse
very
largely
therof
with
men
whom
they
dare
trust
,
and
notable
packing
and
negotiation
ther
is
vnder
hand
about
this
busines
in
secret
,
euery
parte
for
his
prince
pretended
,
and
nyne
or
ten
plotts
I
haue
hard
of
,
for
so
many
persons
that
do
or
may
pretend
it
,
all
which
for
that
you
request
me
sayeth
he
,
and
do
promise
to
say
your
oppinions
also
as
occasion
shal
be
offered
,
and
we
are
now
fallen
into
that
matter
,
&
the
the
tyme
serueth
conuenient
enough
,
I
shall
here
very
willingly
impart
with
you
by
way
of
discourse
,
not
fearing
the
statute
of
treason
for
determinyng
any
mans
right
in
succession
to
the
crowne
,
both
for
that
this
place
is
out
of
Ingland
,
as
also
for
that
I
meane
to
determyne
nothing
at
all
,
bur
rather
to
follow
the
Academical
Philosophers
in
this
affayre
whose
profession
was
to
argue
and
dispute
on
euery
side
,
and
to
conclude
nothing
:
nay
my
very
purpose
shal
be
(
said
he
)
to
shew
you
that
I
do
not
know
what
to
conclude
,
and
that
the
matter
is
so
doubtful
ambiguous
,
and
disputable
,
on
euery
side
,
as
God
only
and
the
sword
must
make
the
conclusion
,
and
this
in
my
opinion
,
is
the
cheifest
and
most
certayne
and
very
worst
poynt
of
al
other
in
this
great
busines
.
If
this
be
so
,
(
said
one
of
the
company
)
why
is
ther
not
order
taken
by
parliament
for
so
great
an
inconuenience
,
and
how
commeth
it
to
passe
that
we
heare
out
of
Ingland
that
some
were
committed
to
prison
this
last
parliament
for
offering
to
treate
in
this
affayre
?
No
maruaile
Why
it
is
for
bidden
in
Ingland
to
treate
of
the
succession
.
said
the
Gentleman
,
for
that
to
treat
of
this
matter
now
,
when
ther
is
none
to
succed
that
may
be
presumed
by
the
neernes
of
bloode
to
desire
more
the
Queenes
safty
then
ther
owne
commodity
,
(
as
it
would
be
if
she
had
children
of
her
owne
)
weare
to
put
her
Maiestyes
state
&
person
in
no
smale
danger
,
which
she
prudently
foreseing
hath
for
bidden
to
haue
the
question
debated
in
her
dayes
.
Wherin
no
doubt
(
sayeth
he
)
she
hath
great
reason
in
allawe
of
pollicy
:
for
that
she
hauing
no
kynred
so
neer
in
bloode
as
obligation
of
nature
may
assure
her
Maiesty
of
ther
fidelity
,
it
were
a
perilous
poynt
to
make
determination
of
her
succession
now
,
for
it
were
to
put
vp
aulter
agaynst
aulter
,
and
a
rising
sonne
agaynst
a
falling
sonne
:
It
were
to
fill
mens
heades
with
new
discourses
hopes
and
designments
,
to
moue
passions
feares
enuies
hatreds
Ielozies
&
ambicions
,
it
were
to
breed
new
practises
negotiations
and
canuasses
,
and
to
fill
the
realme
with
vnquiet
humors
.
And
for
her
Maiesty
,
it
were
to
gyue
her
matter
of
perpetual
care
,
sollicitude
and
danger
for
it
were
in
deade
to
treat
of
her
burial
whiles
she
is
yet
in
health
,
and
to
deuide
her
patrimony
whiles
she
is
yet
in
possession
,
whervnto
I
maruayle
not
yf
she
be
vnwilling
to
yeeld
.
To
this
may
be
added
also
for
iustifying
of
her
Maiesties
proceeding
in
this
poynt
,
so
highly
mislyked
by
dyuers
sortes
of
men
,
that
it
is
not
probable
that
this
prouision
if
it
should
be
made
by
parliament
,
for
the
next
successor
,
and
at
this
tyme
,
and
as
things
now
stande
,
would
be
greatly
auaylable
eyther
to
the
realme
,
or
to
the
party
in
whose
fauour
it
should
be
made
,
not
to
the
realme
,
for
that
wee
see
by
many
experiences
of
actes
of
parliaments
made
for
succession
both
in
King
Henry
the
eight
his
tyme
,
and
much
more
before
,
in
tyme
of
controuersy
betwene
the
two
houses
of
Lancaster
and
York
,
as
also
before
that
agayne
in
King
Richard
the
first
his
dayes
,
for
the
succession
of
Artur
the
Duke
of
Britany
,
and
other
the
like
,
actes
,
that
they
were
neuer
obserued
or
respected
afterwards
,
when
a
stronger
pretendor
came
to
plead
his
cause
,
so
as
those
actes
serued
for
nothing
els
but
to
exasperate
more
the
competitor
agaynst
whom
they
were
made
.
To
the
partye
also
for
whom
they
should
be
made
,
they
do
sealdom
any
good
at
al
,
but
rather
do
put
him
in
far
greater
dainger
then
before
;
and
namely
they
would
do
so
now
in
Ingland
,
things
standing
ther
as
they
do
,
to
witt
,
the
Prince
in
possession
being
so
far
of
in
kyndred
as
she
must
needes
liue
in
Ielosy
of
that
party
,
and
the
other
competitors
being
so
many
,
strong
and
apparent
in
ther
pretences
,
as
they
may
be
egged
heerby
to
work
the
distruction
both
of
the
one
&
the
other
:
for
al
which
respects
and
many
other
that
may
be
alleaged
,
I
thinke
this
order
taken
in
Ingland
,
not
only
needful
,
but
reasonable
also
and
commodious
,
said
this
Gentleman
.
No
doubt
said
the
Ciuilian
,
but
it
is
commodious
yf
you
respect
the
present
only
,
for
that
it
doth
eschu
both
garboyles
to
the
realme
and
cares
and
periles
to
both
partyes
as
you
haue
said
,
I
meane
both
to
the
Queene
and
her
heyre
apparent
that
should
be
declared
,
who
must
needes
be
a
mortal
enimye
vnto
her
Maiesty
the
very
first
hower
that
he
is
declared
,
for
that
his
next
desire
after
such
declaration
once
obteyned
must
needs
be
,
that
her
Maiesty
were
quickly
dead
,
and
he
or
she
in
her
place
;
and
for
that
her
Maiesty
must
needs
know
and
feare
this
,
&
the
other
must
needs
imagine
,
that
she
knowing
and
fearing
it
,
would
seeke
to
preuent
the
same
,
betwene
thes
feares
I
say
and
hopes
,
thes
hatreds
and
suspitions
,
thes
ambitioris
and
Ielosyes
,
no
peace
frenship
or
long
endurance
could
be
expected
.
And
for
that
the
Note
this
poynt
.
hopes
and
hartes
of
men
,
are
set
commonly
much
more
vppon
the
Prince
that
is
to
come
o●
rising
,
then
vppon
him
that
is
in
fading
,
the
greater
dainger
were
like
to
fall
vppon
the
present
possessor
,
wherof
I
could
gyue
(
you
said
he
)
if
neede
weere
,
diuers
examples
out
of
storye
of
our
profession
,
I
meane
pertayning
to
th●
study
of
our
emperial
lawes
,
by
which
is
mad●
most
euident
,
that
more
Caesars
(
who
wer●
heyres
apparent
to
the
empire
as
you
know
haue
put
downe
Emperors
,
then
Emperors
haue
byn
able
to
restrayne
Caesars
albeit
them
selues
were
able
to
make
them
,
so
as
to
the
Prince
in
present
possession
it
is
(
no
doubt
)
very
secure
and
commodious
to
haue
this
prohibition
,
and
that
the
right
of
succession
do
hange
obscure
and
doubtfull
,
and
no
lesse
profitable
is
it
also
in
my
opinion
to
al
the
competitors
,
for
that
by
this
meanes
they
haue
tyme
euery
man
to
prepare
his
frendes
&
worke
his
cause
vnderhand
,
wheras
if
any
should
be
declared
the
rest
should
be
iniured
&
therby
also
exasperated
&
him selfe
putt
in
place
of
enuy
and
dainger
without
power
of
defence
,
as
hath
byn
said
,
but
after
her
Maiestyes
death
,
if
he
put
vp
him selfe
,
it
is
like
he
wil
haue
a
party
to
stick
by
him
to
enable
his
demaund
.
And
this
is
for
the
present
during
her
Maie●ties
life
:
but
as
for
the
future
tyme
it
must
needes
be
a
terrible
threatening
of
extreme
calami●ye
to
the
common
wealth
to
haue
so
many
lye
●n
wait
to
assayle
her
,
as
you
haue
signified
do
●retend
the
crowne
,
which
truly
I
confesse
sayeth
he
)
with
the
residew
here
(
though
●omewhat
perhaps
I
haue
studyed
and
read
more
then
euery
one
of
this
company
)
that
I
euer
estemed
to
be
so
many
in
number
,
and
much
lesse
of
such
consideration
for
their
titles
,
●s
you
seeme
to
hold
them
,
and
therfore
I
pray
●ou
defer
no
longer
to
begynne
the
discourse
which
you
haue
promised
and
we
al
desyre
.
The
Gentleman
answered
that
he
was
content
,
and
so
began
presently
,
and
for
more
perspecuitye
sake
he
reduced
al
the
present
pretenders
to
the
crowne
after
the
Queene
that
now
is
,
to
three
principal
heades
or
branches
,
to
wit●
to
the
house
of
lancaster
a
part
,
to
the
house
o●
Yorck
a
part
,
and
to
the
last
coniunction
of
A
diuision
of
the
pretenders
to
the
crowne
.
both
houses
in
Kyng
Henry
the
seuenth
,
assigning
three
compeditors
of
the
first
branch
,
and
three
of
the
second
,
and
fower
of
the
last
,
of
a
whose
titles
he
discoursed
largely
at
diueres
metings
for
three
or
fower
dayes
one
after
an
other
,
and
the
Ciuilian
also
said
his
parte
,
&
som●
others
put
in
their
verdicts
as
occasion
wa●
offred
,
but
the
two
former
spake
most
and
shewed
great
reading
,
and
had
not
the
Gentleman
shewed
himselfe
somewhat
to
partial
som●
tymes
agaynst
the
Catholique
in
matters
of
religion
as
one
that
had
byn
brought
vp
only
i●
Ingland
he
had
fitted
greatly
my
humor
,
bu●
yours
he
would
haue
fitted
the
more
for
thi●
but
in
truth
his
speach
in
this
matter
of
th●
succession
was
very
pithy
,
and
founded
in
grea●
reason
and
authority
without
partiality
to
an●
party
,
and
I
assure
my selfe
that
you
would
haue
liked
it
extremly
well
if
you
had
hard
it
,
and
presuppose
that
some
of
the
company
hath
taken
it
in
paper
though
I
know
not
well
yet
,
nor
haue
I
now
any
tyme
to
enquire
th●
truth
,
for
that
the
post
is
vppon
his
departure
and
I
will
not
keepe
this
letter
by
me
any
lo●ger
and
now
it
groweth
to
some
bigger
buick
also
then
at
the'
beginyng
I
had
intended
it
,
wherfore
I
shall
here
make
an
ende
,
and
if
I
can
gett
the
other
discourse
hereaster
concerning
the
succession
you
may
perhapps
haue
A
discourse
of
the
succession
promised
.
a
sight
therof
also
,
for
I
know
it
wil
yeld
you
very
great
contentment
.
God
keepe
you

of
