TO
THE
WELL
affected
,
and
loyall

Reader
.
AS
to
the
spirit
and
soule
of
man
nothing
internally
then
a
good
conscience
can
bee
more
comfortable
;
so
externally
,
then
a
good
report
from
others
nothing
can
be
more
precious
.
And
as
for
the
first
,
euery
one
that
will
enjoye
it
,
must
himselfe
alone
by
the
vprightnesse
of
his
owne
actions
,
assure
it
vnto
himselfe
in
the
sincerity
of
his
own
heart
;
so
,
for
the
second
,
as
it
depends
not
vpon
ones
selfe
alone
,
but
vpon
the
tongues
and
reports
of
others
,
euery
Christian
by
the
rules
of
his
profession
is
chargeable
to
his
power
to
seeke
the
preseruation
thereof
towards
others
,
whome
hee
knoweth
to
be
wronged
.
This
being
graunted
(
as
it
cannot
be
denyed
)
if
euery
priuate
mans
good
name
so
neerely
touch
him
,
as
that
for
the
preseruation
thereof
wee
are
all
of
vs
to
others
reciprocally
bound
,
and
by
law
diuine
obliged
.
How
much
more
strictly
then
are
all
faithful
subiects
tyed
,
as
much
as
in
them
lyeth
,
to
maintaine
the
good
name
,
honour
,
and
reputation
of
their
lawfull
Soneraignes
,
by
traytors
,
rebels
,
And
antichristians
,
so
vniustly
,
jmpiously
,
and
jmpudently
taxed
both
in
words
and
writings
.
For
as
his
Majestie
is
our
King
,
by
God
appoynted
to
rule
ouer
his
British
and
Irish
Israell
,
both
in
Church
and
common
wealth
:
and
as
in
dignity
he
is
nulli
secundus
,
nay
more
(
for
that
may
seeme
to
admit
an
equall
)
Primus
inter
omnes
,
without
a
mate
,
highest
:
euen
so
the
blemish
of
good
name
,
honour
,
and
reputation
in
his
Majestie
,
is
of
all
others
most
dishonourable
,
most
scandalous
;
as
his
Majesty
is
of
all
others
most
eminent
,
most
conspicuous
;
and
therefore
by
euery
good
subiect
as
occasion
offereth
it selfe
(
pro
viribus
)
to
be
maintained
.
If
a
naturall
father
haue
a
bad
name
,
though
vndesernedly
,
yet
is
that
in
the
worlds
eye
(
that
cannot
iudge
thereof
,
but
by
report
)
a
scandall
vnto
the
children
.
Our
King
is
more
,
for
he
is
not
onely
Pater
familiae
,
a
father
of
a
priuate
family
,
but
he
is
,
Pater
Patriae
,
a
father
of
our
Country
;
nay
more
,
he
is
,
Pater
multorum
gentium
&
regnorum
,
a
father
of
many
Kingdomes
England
,
Scotland
,
France
,
and
Ireland
,
and
which
is
most
,
hee
is
a
good
Christian
,
&
Christianae

Defensor
,
the
chiefe
Champion
for
defence
of
Christian
faith
,
through
whose
sides
the
enemy
seeketh
to
wound
the
whole
Church
of
Christ
,
and
to
lay
aspersions
of
bloud
and
tyrany
vpon
all
such
as
with
him
professe
the
gospell
of
Christ
.
The
consideration
whereof
(
as
also
a
feruent
desire
to
doe
my
Country
some
publique
seruice
,
in
helping
(
as
much
as
in
me

)
to
stop
the
mouths
of
our
common
aduersaries
the
Papists
,
whose
lauish

haue
spit
out

of

,
and
their

But
also
our

with

,
by
charging
them
as
falsely
,
so
maliciously
with

,
breach
of

,
bloud
,
and
bloudy
persecution
for

)
hath
mooued
mee
to
jmploye
the
best
talent
of
my
small
ability
to
convince
them
of
jmpudent
and
lying
malicious
slaunders
and
reproachfull
vntruths
.
First
in
a
few
following
lynes
directed
vnto
all
Romish
fauorites
,
clearing
my
present
gracious
Soueraigne
of
breach
of
promise
with
Recusants
,
for
toleration
of
Popery
,
wherein
also
I
haue
touched
the
ground
of
that
slaunder
,
with
the
occasion
and
Authors
thereof
,
with
some
other
matters
of
speciall
moment
.
Secondly
,
in
a
tabular
computation
;
by
a
comparatiue
collection
of
all
such
Martyrs
as
were
burned
in
Queene
Maries
days
,
with
all
such
Priests
,
Iesuites
,
&
popish
Recusants
,
as
their
Pseudomartyrologist
I.
W.

pretends
(
&

pretends
)
to
haue
byn
executed
in
England
(

)
since
the
beginning
of
Q.
Elizabeths
raigne
vntill
this
present
yere
1608.
I
haue
cleared
the
second
accusation
of
cruelty
,
bloud
,
and
bloudy
presecution
for
conscience
,
evidently
proouing
by
their
owne
account
,
vnto
the
vnderstanding
of
the
most
simple
,
that
is
not
wilfully
blind
,
that
many
more
of
the
first
sort
suffered
death
,
and
were
in
fire
consumed
onely
for
their
conscience
,
within
the
lesse
then
six
yeares
raigne
of
Queene
Marie
,
then
of
the
second

Treason
.
Whereby
it
appeareth
how
vnjustly
our
late
woorthy
Queene
,
our
present
gracious
King
&
their
State-ministers
,
haue
been
and
are
most
jmpudently
&
falsely
of
bloud
&
cruelty
accused
&
taxed
.
Nor
haue
I
ought
herein
written
to
giue
satisfaction
to
any
such
(
for
let
them
sincke
in
their
owne
sinnes
)
as
being
ouer
deeply
bewitched
with
Romes
jdolatry
,
doe
hold
that
all
Treasons
,
all
Rebellions
,
all
Attempts
,
vi
,
aut
fraude
,
against
the
persons
and
states
of
our
late
Queene
Elizabeth
,
and
our
now
present
King
,
both
were
and
are
not
only
lawfull
,
but
meritorious
:
But
to
enforme
such
of
them
as
being
of
a
milder
temper
,
(
and
yet
looking
that
way
)
willingly
confesse
and
acknowledge
,
that
all
such
as
haue
beene
or
are
guilty
of
such
crimes
,
haue
deseruedly
been
punished
;
but
yet
doe
,
or
at
least
seeme
to
conceaue
that
their
Priests
and
Iesuites
haue
suffered
onely
for
their
Consciences
,
and
therefore
their
persecution
(
they
being
many
in
nomber
)
is
(
in
their
judgement
)
great
and
lamentable
.
Which
were
it
graunted
,
or
could
(
as
it
neuer
can
)
bee
prooued
that
they
all
dyed
for
their
conscience
onely
,
(
which
yet
is
a
conscience
mis-enformed
)
yet
doth
the
nomber
of
our
true
Martyrs
in
lesse
then
6.
yeres
of
Queene
Maries
raigne
,
(
although
it
should
be
permitted
vnto
them
to
take
also
into
their
number
those
fifty
and
two
lay
persons
,
(
for
so
many
I
thinke
there
are
)
registred
with
the
Priests
and
Iesuites
in
their
owne
Martyrologe
)
not
onely
equallize
,
but
exceed
the
number
of
theirs
in
full
fifty
yeares
since
,
by
the
number
of
almost
100.
persons
.
Insomuch
,
that
if
the
numbers
of
persons
suffering
,
and
the
number
of
yeeres
of
both
sorts
wherein
they
suffered
bee
compared
,
and
the
cause
of
all
their
sufferings
admitted
to
be
alike
just
or
vnjust
(
of
which
there
is
no
comparison
)
yet
did
the
cruelty
of
Queene
Marie
and
her
popish
Clergie
,
out-strip
Queene
Elizabeth
and
king
Iames
conjoyned
,
more
then
tenne
for
one
;
and
therefore
learne
,
you
that
haue
any
sparke
of
grace
remaining
in
you
,
to
be
good
subiects
to
your
King
,
and
cease
now
at
last
to
taxe
your
soueraigne
any
more
of
persecution
,
whose
heart
bleeds
that
he
is
forced
to
draw
bloud
from
others
for
their
jntollerable
demerits
.
As
for
the
truth
of
these

whereat
perhaps

exception
;
vnderstand
that
Mr.
Foxe
that
sometime
reuerend
Father
of
our
Church
,
is
my
Author
,
whome
for
the
number
of
such
professors
of
the
Gospell
as
were
burned
in
Queene
Maries
dayes
,
I
haue
soly
followed
,
who
albeit
happily
(
for
it
is
almost
jmpossible
to
bee
otherwise
)
in
some
things
in
so
large
a
volume
,
hee
might
commit
some
small
errour
in
some
particular
cicumstances
,
because
no
Historian
can
possibly
be
present
euery
where
with
his
owne
eyes
and
eares
,
but
must
of
necessity
giue
credite
vnto
the
relations
of
others
in
many
poynts
;
Yet
the
granity
of
his
person
,
his
excellent
learning
,
his
great
reading
,
his
worthy
and
sober
cariage
,
his
sound
judgement
,
and
therein
his
wise
choyce
of
Authours
,
and
the
generall
report
of
his
honest
and
religious
mind
,
by
an
vniforme
consent
of
all
such
as
knew
him
,
freeth
him
from
taxation
of
any
wilfull
and
grosse
errour
,
or
willing
mistaking
,
and
from
any
malicious
aslertion
against
the
Papists
without
a
probable
ground
,
throughout
his
worthy
woorke
,
in
whose
behalfe
I
thinke
it
needlesse
to
bestowe
much
paines
,
because
the
honester
and
greater
sort
are
honestly
already
of
him
perswaded
,
and
for
the
rest
as
they
are
for
number
fewer
,
and
their
honesty
little
worth
,
so
ate
they
many
of
them

obstinate
and

not

As

Noram
I
disposed
to
cauill
for
that
I
find
diuers
of

noted
in
that

by
one
name
which
yet
I
find
set
downe
in

which
I
note
chiefly
for
this
end
,
that
none
might
be
deceiued
in
thinking
that
more
haue
been
executed
,
then
in
deed
haue
been
,
because
one
and
the
same
persons
are
in
their
and
our
writings
noted
by
different
names
,
for
they
haue
so
many
false
names
,
that
amongst
them
all
I
find
not
one
good
and
true
.

.
I
haue
I
confesse
transposed
some
of
both
sorts
,
both
of
our
Martyrs
and
their
traytors
,
but
only
for
this
end
that
I
might
reduce
them
to
our
account
,
which
beginneth
the
yeare
on
the
25.
of
March
,
according
to
the
tabular
Register
following
,
whereas
both
Mr.
Foxe
&
the
Pseudomartyrologist
began
the
yeare
the
first
of
Ianuary
;
As
for
example
,
Mr.
Foxe
hath
noted
Iohn
Rogers
the
first
Martyr
in
Queene
Marie
her
dayes
,
to
haue
suffered
February
4.
1555.
which
yet
according
to
our
account
was
in
the
yeare
1554.
Likewise
the
Pseudomartyrologist
hath
in
his
Martyrologe
noted
William
Richardson
to
haue
beene
executed
Feb.
27.
1603.
which
might
seeme
to
be
in
the
first
yeare
of
King
Iames
,
which
yet
was
in
the
latter
end
of
Queene
Elizabeth
,
and
in
the
yeare
of
our
Lord
1602.
according
as
in
that
yeare
in
the
table
following
you
may
see
.
Now
hauing
compared
their
numbers
together
,
I
could
not
but
admire
their
jmpudency
in
that
voyde
of
shame
,
modesty
,
religion
,
christianity
,
they
dare
so
publiquely
and
vnjustly
without
blushing
,
reuile
and
slaunder
so
gracious
a
Princesse
as
was
noble
Q.
Elizabeth
,
and
so
mercifull
a
King
as
is
our
Soueraigne
Lord
K.
Iames
,
considering
that
so
many
more
suffered
in
the
lesse
then
six
yeares
raigne
of
Queene
Marie
onely
for
religion
,
then
haue
sithence
by
their
owne
account
beene
executed
in
fiftie
yeares
of
two
succeeding
Princes
(
and
those
not
for
religion
but
for
their
treasons
)
the
number
of
the
true
Martyrs
noted
in
print
,
being
in
all
by
this
account
almost
300.
and
the
number
of
their
Seminary
Priests
,
Iesuites
,
and
Recusants
,
by
their
own
account
not
fully
200.
which
(
number
and
time
considered
)
is
more
then
tenne
for
one
.
Nor
is
there
a
greater
disproportion
in
the
number
,
then
in
the
causes
of
their
sufferings
,
the
former
suffering
only
for
their
conscience
,
the
latter
for
their
treasons
.
I
am
not
ignorant
that
our
aduersaries
do
taxe
Mr.
Fox
of
many

,

were

I
will
not
maintaine

somewhat
excuse
by
way
of

by

out
of

some
such
stories
of
his

But
the

in

surpasse
,
and
one
maine
reason
hereof
,
as
I
take
it
,
is
because
they
hold
the

of

they
haue
their

in
such
a

of

that

to
enforme
them
in
the
truth
,
but
only
such
as
their
traiterous
and

shall
permit
:
And
so
if

,
they
will
neuer
blush
at
whatsoeuer
themselues
say

whatsoeuer
bee

of
them

.
If
any

shall
thinke
that
this
my

might
well
haue
beene
spared
,
because
the

of

the

the

are

and
besides
I
haue
not
medled
with
any
matter
of

but
only
haue
borrowed
out
of
him
the
names
of

as
I
haue
likewise
out

could
also

now

,
it

the

the

busie

that
the

It

not

pleaded

from

,
in
permitting
a
freedome
of

to
his

in

would
inferre
,
that
if
our

would
desire
to
liue
securely
from
any
such
attempts
,
not
needing
to

perill
either
by

let
a
toleration
begraunted

how
sound
their
conclusion
is
,
France
hath
felt
,
England
may
feare
,
and
all
the
world
is
amazed
thereat
.
For
if
the
King
of
France
being
a
Papist
,
and
at
most
but
suspected
to
affect
the
Protestant
Religion
,
could
not
yet
be
secure
in
his
person
,
how
much
lesse
can
our
King
expect
any
assurance
of
saftie
by
a
toleration
,
his
Majesty
being
himselfe
a
professed
Protestant
,
and
directly
opposite
in
Faith
and
Religion
.
Nay
it
might
rather
bee
much
feared
,
that
it
would
bee
a
meanes
to
pull
Gods
just
judgements
vpon
him
and
vs
,
for
permission
of
such
false
worshippe
of
the
true
God
;
for
so
wee
may
read

of

that
when
the
Rulers

fell
away
from

,
God
sent
vpon

many
plagues
,
miseries
,
and

For

that
after
so
many
rare
wits
,

vnrefutable
iudgements
in

,
as

I
should
hope
of

then

I
rather
conclude
with
Abraham

who
told
the

to

from

to

to
warne

that

might
auoyd
the

of

,
That
if
they
will
not
belieue
the
Prophets
,
neither
would
they
belieue
though
one
came
from
the
dead
:
so
if
you
will
not
be
perswaded
by
the
scriptures
,
and
the
strong
and
vn-answerable
arguments
of
such
excellent
Diuines
as

already
laboured

,
neither
will
you
be
perswaded
though
Christ
himselfe
should
descend
from
heauen
in
person
to
confute
you
.
But
my
scope
and
drift
herein
is
,
(
pro
viribus
)
First
to
preuent
the
fall
of
those
who
yet
stand
but
are
ready
to
fall
.
Secondly
,
to
free
my
late
Soueraigne
Queene
Elizabeth
,
that
sometimes
peerelesse
Prince
,
and
my
now
dread
Soueraigne
the
Kings
Majestie
,
and
their
State-ministers
from
many
false
and
Serpentine
jmputations
,
layd
vppon

of

nothing
but
Dishonour

Breach

,
Disgrace
,
Crueltie
,
Bloud
,
Want
of
deuotion
,
Oppression
,
Heresie
,
and
Irreligion
.
These
are
the
motiues
that
enforced
my
pen
▪
these
the
reasons
of
my
non-silence
,
who
otherwise
could
haue
been
contented
quietly
and
securely
to
haue
reposed
my selfe
in
the
joyfull
contemplation
of
Gods
manifold
blessings
and

of
an
extraordinary
nature
towards
this
Nation
,
by
continuance
of
the
Gospell

,
Which
,
that
it
is
the
Truth
,
and
that
he
himselfe
with
his
owne
right
hand
hath
planted
it
,
and
defended
it
by
the
power
of
his
owne
arme
,
the
many
strange
Miracles
(
for
such
say
you
must
needs
approoue
the
Truth
)
which
himselfe
from
time
to

this

For
is
it
possible
that
our
late
famous
Queene
of
euer-blessed
memorie
,
The
Miracles
that
god
hath
wrought
for
confirmation
of
his
gospell
.
and
our
now
Soueraigne
the
Kings
Maiestie
,
should
haue
escaped
the
many
pitts
that
haue
beene
digged
for
them
,
and
not
haue
fallen
therein
?
Is
it
possible
that
Queene
Elizabeth
,
full
of
yeares
but
fuller
of
Renowne
,
should
haue
liued
vnto
a

,
and
quietly

in

,
to
be
maugre

her

Is
it

for
then

Anathematized

Then
the

altered

withdraw

Those

to

you

Wherfore
that

those

of

vnjustly
throwen
vpon

I
will
here
relate
from
whence
by
much
probabilitie
,
this

This

(

I

ambitiously
(
as
it
should
seeme
)
affecting
a
singular
greatnesse
,
not
at
all
regarding
Religion
(
as
some
haue
thought
)
further
then
as
it
might
serue
him
as
a
ladder
to
promotion
,
was
in
shew
outwardly
a
seeming
Protestant
,
but
vnder-hand
and
couertly
,
willing
to
be
held
a
Papist
,
jnsomuch
that
by
his
close
carriage
hee
was
very
honourablie
thought
of
by
his
Majestie
,
&
chosen
by
his
Majestie
to
be
very
neere
vnto
him
,
and
yet
neuerthelesse
highly
accompted
of
and
respected
amongst
the
Romanists
for
a
sure
friend
of
theirs
,
vpon
whom
they
might
hold
a
Dependance
;
Testified
hereby
,
that
with
his
owne
hands
he
deliuered
and
presented
their
Popish
Supplication
vnto
his
Majestie
at
Theobalds
,
for
a
toleration
in
Anno.
1603.
And
that
I
may
not
seeme
maliciously
of
my selfe
without
a
ground
to
taxe
him
herein
of
ambition
,
The

obserue
with
me
,
that
at
his
tryall
(
by
one
for
his
learning
judicious
,
for
his
knowledge
experienced
in
matters
of
State
)
it
was
by
euident
arguments
prooued
that
his
proceedings
argued
a
manifest
Discontentment
,
and
withall
that
all
discontentments
proceeded
from
either
want
,
disgrace
,
or
ambition
;
but
not
from
want
,
for
his
possessions
and
yearely
revenues
were
exceding
great
;
not
from
disgrace
,
for
his
Majestie
had
many
waies
graced
&
highly
honoured
him
;
(
which
graces
as
he
then
did
,
so
I
now
could
particularly
jnstance
,
but
that
thereby
I
must
needsly
discouer
his
person
)
and
therefore
of
necessitie
from
Ambition
.
Likewise
as
then
by
one
was
obserued
his
ambition
in
his
jntentions
and
thoughts
,
so
by
another
of
higher
rancke
and
dignitie
was
noted
his
dissimulation
in
his
actions
,
The
Lord
Archbishop
of
Cant.
for
said
he
,
there
are
in
all
his
proceedings
,
Vestigia
manifesta
,
&

,
giving
withall
an
jnstance
herein
,
That
this
great
personage
had
admitted
T.
P.
that
Archtraitor
to
be
a
Pentioner
,
The
word
them
vsed
was
,
To
hold
an
Axe
ouer
the
Kings
head
.
but
yet
without
hauing
any
oath
administred
him
,
either
for
his
allegeance
,
or
yet
for
his
particular
discharge
of
that
place
whereunto
he
was
admitted
,
and
yet
vnderhand
giuing
out
that
he
was
sworne
,
wherevpon
he
jnferred
thus
,
That
wheresoeuer
things
were
palliated
which
were
,
or
fayned
to
be
which
are
not
,
there
alwaies
is
some
deceit
.
At
which
time
he
was
by
a
third
honourable
personage
taxed
expreslie
for
his
Hippocrisie
,
as
being
Iacke
on
both
sides
,
whereby
hee
had
made
himselfe
odious
to
both
Protestants
(
so
tearmed
)
and
Papists
:
The
L.
Zouch
.
nor
yet
(
though
these
are
jnough
)
are
these
all
.
But
to
returne
to
our
purpose
and
matter
in
hand
.
Before
he
ascended
vnto
that
height
of
honor
(
which
then
by
the
Kings
speciall
favour
he
was
advanced
vnto
)
I
meane
in
Queene
Elizabeths
time
,
when
his
predecessours
carriage
had
given
just
occasion
of
the
successours
further
disgrace
,
then
[
at
this
very
time
was
the
same
person
imployed
vnto
his
maiestie
with
letters
from
Garnet
the
Iesuites
Prouinciall
,
who
had
about
that
time
receaued
the
Popes
Breues
to
this
purpose
,
Quandocunque

faeminam
(
meaning
Q.

)
ex

,
&c.
that
whensoeuer
that
wretched
woman
should
die
,
the
papists
should
not
admit
of
any
other
to
inherite
,
how
neere
so
euer
in
bloud
,
vnlesse
he
were
a

Romish
)
Catholique
,
and
not
so
onely
,
vnlesse
he
would
also
sweare
to
vphold
to
his
power
the
popish
Religion
.
But
the
Kings
happie
acceptation
with
his
good
Subiects
,
caused
those
to
bee
converted
into
ashes
,
and
then
come

And
how
long
this
?
vntill
they
be
able
to
cast
him
out
whom
they
were
forced
to
receaue
.
And
your
Watson
soone
attempted
that
which
hee
knew
his
vnholy
Father
the
Pope
hartily
wished
.
Hee
was
a
lowe
man
in
person
,
but
he
aspyred
high
when
he
thought
to
bee
Lord
Chancellor
of
England
:
but
missing
that
,
hee
was
aduanced
to
the
Gallowes
for
preferment
,
but
I
thinke
being
purblind
,
he
missed
the
waye
that
hee
meant
]
I
say
did
this
double-hearted
Lord
jmploy
T.
P.
the
Traytor
vnto
the
Kings
Majestie
then
King
only
of
Scotland
,
with
certain
letters
of
advise
,
but
much
in
the
behalfe
of
the
English
Romish
Catholicks
,
aduising
him
that
he
should
at
such
time
as
it
should
please
the
Lord
to
call
him
to
the
possession
of
this
his
kingdome
(
which
as
now
he
doth
,
so
long
Lord
grant
he
may
quietly
enjoye
)
giue
faire
promises
and
hopes
of
tolleration
vnto
the
Papists
,
thereby
(
as
he
therein
pretended
)
to
prepare
a
more
easie
entrance
for
his
Majestie
when
time
should
serue
.
The
Kings
Majestie
(
not
as
then
suspecting
the
depth
of
this
his
Councellors
drifts
,
but
vnderstanding
him
simply
)
returned
him
an
answere
,
with
thankes
for
his
advise
,
but
withall
jnferring
a
clause
directly
(
as
since
it
appeareth
)
contrarie
to
his
Councellors
expectation
.
His
Majesties
words
in
answere
to
the
letter
,
were
in
effect
as
followeth
.
Whensoeuer
it
shall
please
GOD
in
his
due
time
to
call
mee
to
the
possession
of
my
right
in
England
,
I
purpose
not
to
make
any
jnnovation
in
the
State
,
or
to
alter
the
Lawes
and
Ordinances
thereof
,
&c.
Wherevppon
a
wise
man
would
(
as
the
L
L.
did
)
haue
thus
jnferred
:
No
alteration
in
the
State
,
no
changing
of
Lawes
and
Ordinances
therein
established
;
why
then
no
toleration
of
Poperie
,
no
allowance
of
Recusancy
;
&
not
because
it
pleased
the
kings
Majestie
out
of
the
meeknesse
of
his
Spirit
(
voyd
of
guile
and
double
dealing
)
to
returne
him
thankes
for
his
aduise
(
although
hee
did
not
so
much
as
make
shew
that
he
liked
thereof
)
therefore
to
conclude
that
a
toleration
should
be
granted
.
But
he
in
his
ambition
besotted
with
his
own
follie
,
not
expounding
his
Majesties
words
as
he
meant
,
but
as
he
himselfe
conceited
them
,
because
he
so
(
as
it
should
euidently
appeare
)
wished
that
it
might
bee
,
did
so
farre
exceed
the
limits
of
his
commission
,
and
was
so
farre
vainely
transported

it

Conferre

Watson
the
Priest
his
confession
vnto
the
Honourable
Lord
the
Lord
of
Northampton
at
Winchester
;
who
being
by
the
Earle
(
by
his
Majestie
therevnto
appoynted
)
examined
vpon
the
poynt
of
promise
of
toleration
,
freely
confessed
that
albeit
he
were
by
some
falsly
accused
to
be
the
Author
of
that
report
,
yet
it
was
most
true
that
hee
could
neuer
at
any
time
draw
any
comfort
from
his
Maiestie
in
the
point
of
conscience
.
All
which
notwithstanding
(

the
just
cause
that
the

,
and

dangerous
conspiracies

his
Maiesties

shew
any
the
least
prints
(
if
you
can
)
of
bloudy
steppes
in
his
Majesties
Course
:
Nay
rather
I
may
much
more
truely
say
,
hee
is
a
man
composed
all
of
mercy
,
and
not
of
any
earthly
element
,
subiect
to
passions
and
disturbance
,
but
in
a
farre
more
diuine
manner
then
ordinary
men
,

his
Maker
,

Kings

are

And
here
let
me
tell
you
(

voyd
of
any
desire
of
bloud
or
bloudy
courses
,
as
God
can
beare
record
vnto
my

onely
admiring

That
I
greatly
doubt
whether
any
Prince
in
the
world
(
King
Iames
excepted
)
if
the
like
treason
as
was
the
Powder-treason
,
had
been
plotted
against
him
by
persons
of
another
religion
or
sect
whatsoeuer
,
would
haue
suffered
either
man
,
woman
,
or
child
of
so
dangerous
and
damnable
a
profession
,
to
haue
breathed
within
his
Dominions
,
especially
if
the
grounds
of
their
religion
(
as
doth
that
of
yours
by
euident
proofes
elswere
convinced
)
do
allow
of
any
such
doctrine
and
enterprises

Admit
that
the
Kings

had
in
a

pollicy
promised
a
toleration
,
before
he
were
fully
seated
in
his

nay
that
hee
had
so
also
meant
indeed
,
as
some
of
you
haue
falsely

jmpudently
giuen
out
;
yet
had
he
not
,
for
your
extreame
ill
carriage
and
disloyall
demeanour
,
just
cause
to
haue
reuoked
it
?
For
before
that
liberty
could
be
established
for
you
,
there
must
needes
haue
beene
a
repeale
made
of
those
Lawes

Statutes
formerly
made
against
Recusancy
,
which
as
they
were
by
act

confirmed
,
so
must
they
haue
been
by
the

authority
disanulled

These
forward
spirits

they
wold
be

for

Succession
would
yet
haue
bereft

your

thought
to
make
a

cut
then
so
,

to

home

warmed

after

began
to
hisse
at
the

would
with
his
venomous
tongue
haue
stung
him

plainely
bids

to

in

you
false-hearted

that

knowes
how
to

to
hold
you

hollow-hearted
vnto
him
now

because
whiles
you
were
yet
Queene

subiects
,
you
were
then
so
vnto
her
,

to
esteeme
of

Honourably
,

of

now
no

And
albeit
that
for
some
reasons
of
State
vnto
her selfe
best
knowen
,
and
which
no
doubt
but
his
Majestie
now
very
well
vnderstandeth
,
it
pleased
her
to
conceale
the
kings
right
from
the
multitude
,
yet
I
verily
perswade
my selfe
that
his
Majesty
did
neuer
so
much
as
conceiue
a
thought
that
Queene
Elizabeth
did
euer
purpose
or
intend
to
debarre
him
in
his
right
of
lawfull
succession
.
And
in
this
poynt
your
fellow

thought
to
cast
a
Bone
between
his
Majesty
and
his
good
subiects

you
are

who
when

that

as

be
not

although
I

,
can
cause
