A
true
report
of
the
death
of
M.
Campion
Iesuite
and
Preist
,
M.
Sherwin
,
and
M.
Bryan
preistes
.
THE
diuers
and
contrary
reportes
falsely
and
maliciously
bruted
and
published
of
M.
Euerard
Haunse
,
directly
executed
for
cause
of
Religion
,
after
his
late
martyrdome
,
gaue
iust
feare
of
the
like
practise
towards
those
thrée
glorious
Martirs
,
learned
,
meeke
,
stoute
,
and
constant
Priests
,
M.
Edmund
Campion
Iesuite
,
M.
Rodulph
Sherwin
,
and
M.
Alexander
Bryan
preistes
,
who
vpon
the
first
day
of
December
last
past
were
vnder
pretence
of
highe
treason
moste
iniuriously
to
the
great
lamentation
generally
of
all
good
men
,
martired
for
the
Catholike
faith
and
religion
.
Upon
which
occasion
many
good
catholike
gentlemen
desirous
to
be
eye
witnesses
of
that
which
might
hapen
in
the
speach
,
demeinor
,
&
passage
of
those
thrée
rare
paternes
of
piety
,
vertue
,
and
innocencie
,
presented
them selues
at
the
place
of
execution
,
and
my selfe
a
Catholike
preist
pressed
to
that
bloodie
spectacle
,
no
dout
a
liuely
sacrifice
vnto
God
,
and
a
sweete
sauour
vnto
his
Angels
,
with
minde
vpon
occasion
to
referre
uncerely
and
truly
to
my
power
this
tragedie
,
with
suche
accidents
as
did
hapen
in
the
maner
,
course
,
and
ende
thereof
.
Since
which
time
,
vpon
request
of
some
of
my
fellows
and
b●ethren
,
I
wrote
those
dealings
,
to
answere
and
satisfie
our
aduersaries
generally
,
to
content
&
comfort
our
persecuted
brethren
specially
,
and
in
part
to
diminishe
those
sinister
rumors
which
are
raysed
against
these
good
men
by
a
notable
and
most
infamous
libel
,
entituled
,
An
Aduertisement
and
defence
for
truth
against
her
backbyters
,
and
specially
against
the
whispering
fauorers
and
colorers
of
Campions
,
and
the
rest
of
his
confederates
treasons
:
published
there
,
and
openly
read
,
printed
abrode
without
authoritie
of
seen
and
alowed
,
a
pamphlet
,
false
,
impudent
,
and
farssed
with
lyes
and
vntruthes
,
only
to
colour
and
shadowe
with
some
face
of
equitie
those
strange
procedinges
,
my
meaning
is
not
to
refute
in
spetial
falsities
,
that
shamfull
aduertisment
alredy
generaly
confutid
in
all
mens
consciences
,
and
with
priuate
mutteringes
even
of
the
aduers
parte
them selues
flatly
condemned
,
for
I
knowe
,
and
all
men
are
pe●swaded
that
those
inocentes
suffered
only
for
religion
for
our
fathers
faith
,
and
spirituall
inheritance
,
for
seruing
god
in
priestly
function
and
duties
.
And
not
for
treson
,
not
for
conspiring
her
highnesse
death
and
ruin
as
it
shal
more
clerly
apere
by
their
owne
defence
at
the
tyme
of
their
arraignment
,
which
will
shortly
be
published
as
a
testimonie
,
and
expreste
signification
of
their
innocencie
,
together
with
their
dispntations
priuately
had
in
the
tower
,
argumentes
of
their
learning
and
seale
towardes
this
our
natiue
countrie
,
so
devided
dayly
with
nombers
of
newe
faithes
and
religions
,
to
the
ruin
and
damnation
of
many
our
parentes
,
children
,
kinssolkes
&
fréendes
,
for
whose
instruction
&
saluation
only
these
good
men
with
infinite
more
haue
offered
,
and
as
i●
were
,
consecrated
them selues
to
these
daungers
,
and
●erilles
of
our
times
.
But
if
I
●houlde
vpon
that
defeuce
of
their
doings
stand
long
to
the
contrary
,
yet
could
I
not
,
when
all
were
done
,
saye
more
then
other
men
haue
already
alleg●d
,
by
whom
is
declared
howe
our
doings
and
labours
in
these
spiritual
affayres
,
are
misconstred
,
how
truth
is
made
treason
,
religion
rebellion
.
To
whose
bookes
I
do
referre
my
deare
countrie
men
eith●r
inwardly
affected
,
or
outwardly
afflicted
by
the
swete
departure
of
these
so
lern●d●
so
m●ke
,
so
vertuous
Priests
,
of
whose
innocencie
,
dutiful
purposes
,
demeinors
,
and
attemptes
towards
our
natiue
countrie
,
our
parentes
and
friendes
,
notwithstanding
that
generall
testimony
of
many
lerned
m●n
,
are
further
and
most
sure
witnesse
their
disputation
publikely
chalenged
,
and
by
the
aduerse
part
priuately
performed
,
their
answeres
wise
,
and
euen
to
the
admiration
of
al
men
discrete
at
their
arraignement
,
their
resolute
denial
and
plaine
disclaming
from
all
such
practises
surmised
,
and
violently
intended
at
their
laste
speach
,
and
that
assured
vpon
the
peril
of
their
souls
,
and
lastly
the
disloyal
and
traterous
practise
of
the
aduers
part
,
againste
M.
Norton
nowe
prisoner
,
who
for
the
better
face
of
his
owne
disloyalty
and
treason
,
procured
these
her
maiesties
true
and
moste
loyal
subiectes
to
be
accused
,
condemned
and
executed
for
treason
.
But
O
alta
iuditia
dei
.
I
say
no
more
,
but
half
those
wordes
he
vsed
,
wonld
haue
byn
made
playne
&
expresse
treason
in
pore
Catholikes
,
howsoeuer
some
will
seme
to
excuse
them
as
rashe
wordes
.
Well
here
as
I
wil
answere
for
myne
owne
sonle
before
God
I
mynde
to
write
sincerly
and
simply
a
truth
concerning
the
behauiour
of
these
men
at
their
departure
,
wherin
of
myne
owne
faith
and
fidilitie
in
reporting
I
call
witnes
of
those
gentilmen
who
before
the
begining
of
this
tragedie
at
Tiborne
disputed
of
the
motion
of
the
Sunne
from
east
to
west
which
was
violent
&
which
was
natural
,
at
whose
backes
I
sta●ed
the
end
of
this
pageant
:
I
mynded
this
end
,
and
they
I
know
atended
the
same
.
this
I
do
implie
to
remember
those
gentilmen
of
the
manner
,
of
the
behauiour
,
meke
,
humble
,
constant
and
resolute
of
those
honorable
martirs
,
nowe
no
doubt
daily
intercessors
for
●his
our
miserable
countrie
,
not
douting
but
that
,
as
they
were
then
charitably
moued
and
affected
with
compassion
,
so
now
they
wil
truely
giue
testimony
of
their
innocencie
and
my
fayth
in
relation
.
Let
therefore
malice
report
treason
,
and
here●ie
sownde
conspiracie
,
a
practise
euen
from
the
infancie
of
religion
and
faith
,
to
brede
hatred
to
religious
&
faithfull
men
,
yet
in
al
these
inuentions
of
quarelling
Lawyers
in
our
doing
in
suche
wise
made
treasonable
,
we
for
them
and
our selues
by
S.
Paules
example
(
who
beeing
charged
before
the
ciuil
magistrate
,
M.
Edmund
Campion
Iesuite
&
Preist
,
a
man
reputed
and
taken
,
and
by
diuers
his
coequals
plainlye
confessed
the
flewer
of
Oxforde
for
that
time
he
studied
there
,
and
since
abrode
in
foreine
countries
one
in
whom
our
countrey
hath
had
great
honor
,
the
frute
of
his
l●rning
,
vertue
,
and
rar●
giftes
,
whiche
as
they
were
in
his
childhood
here
among
vs
wonderful
,
so
they
were
abrode
,
as
in
Italy
,
Germany
,
and
Bohemia
an
honor
to
our
country
,
a
glasse
and
mirror
,
a
light
and
lanterne
,
a
paterne
and
example
to
youth
,
to
age
,
to
lerned
,
to
vnlerned
,
to
religious
,
and
to
the
laytie
of
al
sort
,
state
,
&
condition
,
of
modestie
,
grauitie
,
eloquence
,
knowledge
,
vertue
,
and
pietie
,
of
which
iust
and
due
commendation
,
some
of
our
aduersaries
can
giue
true
and
●erteyn
testimonie
,
who
after
diligent
sifting
and
enquiring
of
his
life
,
maners
,
and
demeinor
,
found
nothing
faulty
,
nothing
worthy
of
blame
.
This
man
(
M.
Campion
I
say
)
first
mekely
yelded
himself
and
his
carkasse
to
this
butcherie
,
with
such
humility
&
corage
,
as
moued
most
beholders
to
compassion
and
pity
.
Those
speches
he
vsed
in
the
way
to
diuers
calling
and
crying
vnto
him
,
I
leaue
(
my
selfe
not
able
to
make
relation
therof
)
to
common
report
,
or
to
that
mans
testimonie
,
who
eyther
for
pity
or
affection
wiped
his
face
defiled
with
durt
,
as
he
was
drawen
most
miserably
through
thick
and
thin
,
as
the
saying
is
,
to
the
place
of
execution
:
for
whiche
charity
,
and
happily
some
sodein
moued
affection
,
God
rewarde
him
,
and
blesse
him
.
What
he
spake
openly
,
that
my
meaning
is
to
set
down
truly
,
my selfe
béeing
present
and
very
nere
,
as
hard
by
Syr
Frances
Knoles
,
the
Lorde
Howard
,
Syr
Henry
Lee
and
other
Gentlemen
then
gathered
there
to
see
and
heare
him
.
And
here
I
wil
omit
,
althogh
it
be
very
much
material
,
his
vsage
in
time
of
imprisonment
,
his
constant
patience
in
his
rackinges
,
and
after
his
condemnation
by
report
of
some
very
nere
to
him
,
his
fiue
days
fast
from
temporal
&
bodily
sustenance
,
his
abstinence
from
slepe
and
ordinary
rest
,
which
was
before
his
death
by
credible
report
of
some
,
continued
two
nightes
,
bestowed
in
meditation
&
prayer
.
Who
after
many
conflictes
and
agonies
,
ioyfully
comming
to
receiue
his
reward
and
crowne
,
the
kingdome
of
heauen
,
an
enheritance
certayne
to
such
,
who
in
this
life
refuse
the
worlde
,
thinges
worldly
,
&
themselues
for
Christes
sake
,
after
some
small
pawse
in
the
carte
,
with
graue
countenance
and
swéete
voyce
stoutly
spake
as
followeth
.
Spectaculum
facti
sumus
Deo
,
Angeli
,
&
hominibus
saying
,
Syr
Frauncis
Knowles
and
the
sh●ryfs
,
earnestly
vrging
him
to
confesse
his
treason
against
her
maiestie
,
and
to
acknowledge
himself
gilty
.
To
whom
he
answered
saying●
You
haue
now
what
you
do
desire
,
I
besech
you
to
haue
patience
&
suffer
me
to
speake
a
woorde
or
too
for
discharge
of
my
conscience
.
But
beiug
not
suffered
to
go
forward
,
gaue
answere
to
that
point
they
alwayes
vrged
,
that
he
was
giltlesse
&
innocent
of
all
treason
and
conspiracie
,
crauing
credit
to
be
geuen
to
this
answere
,
as
to
his
last
answere
made
vpon
his
death
&
soule
:
adding
that
touching
this
poynt
both
the
Iurie
might
be
deceauid
,
and
more
also
put
in
the
evidence
then
was
true
:
notwithstanding
he
forgaue
,
as
he
would
be
forgeuen
,
desiring
all
them
to
forgeue
him
whome
he
had
confessed
vpon
the
racke
.
Further
he
declared
the
meaning
of
a
le●ter
sent
by
him self
in
time
of
his
imprisonment
out
of
the
Tower
,
in
which
he
wrote
,
he
would
not
disclos●
the
secretes
of
some
houses
where
he
had
bin
interteined
,
affirming
on
his
soule
,
that
the
secretes
he
m●nt
in
that
letter
,
were
no●
as
some
miscon●tred
them
,
treason
,
or
conspiracy
,
or
any
matter
els
any
way
intended
against
her
Maiestie
or
the
state
,
but
saying
of
Masse
,
hearing
of
confession
,
preaching
,
and
such
like
duties
and
functions
of
Priests
:
this
he
protested
to
be
true
,
as
he
would
answere
before
God
.
Then
he
desired
Syr
Francis
Knowles
,
and
some
other
of
nobility
,
to
heare
him
touching
one
Richardson
condemned
about
a
booke
of
his
,
and
ernestly
besought
them
to
haue
consideration
of
that
man
,
saying
,
he
was
not
that
Richard
son
which
brought
his
booke
,
&
this
he
affirmed
with
vehement
protestation
vpon
his
death
.
Then
one
Hearne
a
seolemaster
,
as
I
lerned
after
,
red
the
new
Aduertisement
openly
with
lowde
voyce
vnto
the
people
,
published
only
to
colour
so
manifest
and
●xpresse
iniury
:
M.
Campion
al
the
time
of
his
reading
deuoutlye
praying
Notwithstanding
which
aduertisement
or
defence
of
theirs
,
aswel
bicause
they
dis●r●s●ed
their
own
po●●cie
in
publication
therof
,
as
that
they
did
also
●●si●e
●me
better
colour
or
faster
v●said
for
their
procedings
,
pressed
him
to
declare
his
opinion
of
Pius
quintus
Bull
concerning
th
excommunication
of
our
Soueraigne
and
queene
.
To
which
d●maunde
he
gaue
no
answere
.
But
being
asked
whether
he
renounced
the
Pope
,
said
he
was
a
Catholike
:
whereupon
one
inferred
,
saying
:
In
your
Catholisisme
(
I
noted
the
worde
)
al
treas●n
is
conteined
.
In
fine
,
preparing
himself
to
drinke
his
last
draght
of
Christ
his
cup
,
was
interrupted
in
his
prayer
by
a
minister
,
willing
him
to
saye
,
Christ
haue
mercy
vpon
me
,
or
suche
like
prayer
with
him
:
vnto
whom
he
looking
backe
with
milde
countenance
,
humbly
saide
.
You
and
I
are
not
one
in
religion
,
wherfore
I
pray
you
content
your selfe
,
I
barre
none
of
prayer
,
only
I
desire
them
of
the
houshold
of
faith
to
pray
with
me●
&
in
mine
agony
to
say
one
Crede
.
Some
also
called
vpon
him
to
praye
in
Engli●h
:
to
whom
he
answered
,
that
he
would
pray
in
a
language
that
he
wel
vnderstood
.
At
the
vpshot
of
this
conflict
he
was
willed
to
aske
the
queene
forgeuenes
,
and
to
praye
for
her
.
He
meekely
answered
:
wherein
haue
I
offended
her
?
In
this
I
am
innocent
,
this
is
my
laste
speache
,
in
this
geue
me
credite
,
I
haue
and
do
pray
for
her
.
Then
did
the
Lorde
Charles
Howard
aske
of
him
:
For
which
quéene
he
prayed
,
whether
for
Elizabeth
quéene
.
To
whom
he
answered
,
Yea
for
Elizabeth
your
queene
,
and
my
queene
,
vnto
whom
I
wish
a
long
quiet
raigne
,
with
all
prosperity
.
And
so
he
meekely
and
sweetly
yelded
his
soule
vnto
his
Sauiour
,
protesting
that
he
dyed
a
perfect
Catholike
.
M.
Campion
hauing
thus
triumfed
on
the
world
,
the
flesh
,
the
diuell
,
and
receiued
his
long
desired
crown
,
M.
Rodulph
Sherwine
,
a
stoute
,
wise
discret
,
and
lerned
Preist
,
was
brought
vnto
the
cart
,
a
man
so
mortifi●d
,
so
febled
with
fasting
,
watching
,
and
suche
like
spirituall
exercise
,
as
was
wonderful
vnto
suche
,
who
had
conuersed
with
him
before
his
imprisonment
.
He
standing
vpon
the
carte
,
with
closed
eyes
,
with
hand●s
lifted
vp
to
heauen
in
contemplation
and
prayer
,
al
men
marking
his
demeinor
,
with
milde
voyce
first
made
this
demaund
:
Doth
the
people
expect
that
I
should
speake
?
Being
answered
of
many
,
and
some
of
nobilitie
,
yea
,
yea
,
with
stoute
courage
and
strong
voyce
saide
:
Then
first
I
thanke
the
omnipotent
and
most
mercifull
God
the
father
for
my
creation
,
my
swéete
and
louing
sauiour
Christ
Iesus
for
my
redemption
,
and
the
holy
Ghoste
for
my
sanctification
,
three
persons
and
one
God
.
After
this
thanks
geuing
vnto
the
holy
and
blessed
trinity
,
entring
in
discourse
of
his
faith
,
his
condemnation
and
death
,
was
interrupted
and
stayed
by
Sir
Frauncis
Knowles
and
the
sherifs
,
saying
You
haue
declared
your
faith
,
&
we
know
it
,
come
to
the
poynt
,
and
confesse
your
treason
&
disloyalty
towardes
your
Prince
.
Wherupon
he
constantly
said
:
I
am
innocent
&
guiltles
.
And
being
stil
vrged
,
answred
,
I
wil
not
belye
my selfe
,
for
so
should
I
condemne
mine
owne
soule
.
And
although
I
haue
confusion
in
this
world
yet
I
doubt
not
of
my
saluation
in
Christ
Iesus
,
in
whom
only
I
looke
to
be
saued
,
and
in
whose
death
,
passion
,
and
bloud
I
only
trust
:
and
so
made
a
sweete
prayer
to
Iesus
,
acknowledging
the
imperfection
,
misery
and
sinfull
wretchednes
of
his
owne
nature
,
still
protesting
his
innocency
from
al
treason
and
traiterous
practises
,
and
that
his
going
out
of
this
Realme
beyonde
the
seas
,
was
onely
for
his
soules
health
,
to
lerne
to
saue
his
soule
And
being
againe
interrupted
by
Sir
Frauncis
Knowles
,
said
in
this
wise
:
Tush
,
tush
,
you
and
I
shal
answere
this
before
an
other
Iudge
,
where
my
innocency
shal
be
knowen
,
&
you
see
that
I
am
guiltles
of
this
.
Wherevpon
Sir
Frauncis
saide
,
We
knowe
you
are
no
contriuer
or
doer
of
this
treason
,
for
you
are
no
man
of
armes
,
but
you
are
a
traytor
by
consequence
.
O
miserable
consequence
,
that
hath
depriued
vs
of
so
worthye
members
,
and
is
like
to
imbrue
our
country
&
nation
with
much
innocent
bloud
,
do
not
our
Soueraigne
and
quéene
deny
the
same
so
strangely
inferred
vpon
no
premisses
,
and
turne
her
Highnesse
hande
of
indignation
from
many
our
afflicted
brethren
,
her
hart
to
wonted
mercy
and
clemencie
towards
her
true
,
loyal
,
and
naturall
Catholike
subiectes
.
But
to
M
Sherwine
,
who
boldly
answered
,
If
to
be
a
Catholike
onely
,
if
to
be
a
perfecte
Catholike
,
be
to
be
a
traytor
,
then
(
said
he
)
am
I
a
traytor
.
After
which
wordes
being
by
authoritie
debarred
of
further
speach
,
he
sayd
,
I
forgeue
al
,
who
either
by
general
presumption
,
or
particuler
error
haue
procured
my
death
,
and
so
deuoutly
prayed
vnto
Iesus
:
after
which
prayer
Be
was
vrged
to
speake
his
opinion
touching
the
said
bull
of
Pope
Pius
:
to
which
poynt
he
gaue
no
answere
.
Then
beeing
willed
to
pray
for
the
queenes
Maiesty
,
answered
,
I
haue
and
do
.
At
which
wordes
the
Lords
Howard
againe
asked
,
which
quéene
he
ment
,
whether
Elizabeth
queene
?
to
whom
somewhat
smiling
he
sayd
,
yea
for
Elizabeth
queene
,
I
nowe
at
this
instant
pray
my
Lorde
God
to
make
her
his
seruant
in
this
life
,
and
after
this
life
coheir
with
Christ
Iesus
.
When
he
had
prayed
to
God
to
make
her
his
seruant
,
there
were
,
which
said
openly
,
that
he
ment
,
to
make
her
a
Papist
,
to
whom
he
boldly
replied
,
Els
God
forbid
.
And
so
collecting
himself
to
prayer
,
dyed
paciently
,
stoutly
,
and
mildly
,
crying
,
Iesus
,
Iesus
,
Iesus
,
esto
mihi
Iesus
.
Here
I
can
not
omit
a
practise
of
some
of
our
yong
masters
,
slaunderously
geuen
on
t
against
M.
Sherwin
,
dreamed
ou●
by
them
of
his
wordes
here
,
as
that
he
dyed
a
protestant
,
because
he
disclaiming
from
the
wretchednes
of
his
owne
mortalitie
,
and
nature
,
reposed
himselfe
wholy
vpon
Christ
and
his
passion
.
These
minions
would
,
no
doubt
,
make
Catholiks
monsters
in
poyntes
of
religion
and
faith
,
and
do
labour
to
perswade
the
people
,
that
the
Catholike
religion
doth
euacuate
the
comfort
of
our
fraylties
and
price
of
our
souls
,
the
sheding
of
Christes
moste
pretious
bloud
,
in
which
we
do
acknowledge
all
our
suffitiency
,
and
in
which
only
as
the
sole
foundation
spring
and
cause
of
all
merit
,
the
merite
of
all
our
wel
doing
,
so
iniuriouslie
to
Christe
his
passion
abolished
by
protestants
,
is
,

and
shal

with

Truly

and

)
flye
free
in
the
day
from
pursuite
and
wonder
of
other
birds
:
at
whom
nowe
with
the
rest
I
think
the
lerned
and
wise
Catholike
will
looke
and
laugh
,
as
not
worthy
of
refutation
&
answere
,
howsoeuer
some
yonger
scoler
may
shortly
exercise
him selfe
in
reply
vpon
him
whom
all
Englishe
Catholikes
(
as
they
say
)
can
not
answere
.
After
these
two
glorious
Martirs
,
was
brought
vnto
his
martirdome
M.
Alexander
Brian
,
a
man
although
in
lerning
&
knowledge
inferior
to
them
,
yet
equal
in
patience
,
constancie
and
humilitie
,
whose
pressures
in
prison
and
tortures
,
strange
I
dare
say
,
among
heathens
,
more
monstrous
among
Christians
,
may
be
thought
vncredible
,
and
are
signified
vnto
his
brethren
abrode
by
him selfe
.
To
omit
his
rackings
,
what
practise
was
it
of
vncharitable
Protestants
to
put
pinnes
vnder
his
nayles
?
What
hart
could
sée
his
famine
so
extreme
,
that
for
his
corporal
sustenanse
he
was
driuen
to
lick
the
moysture
of
walls
?
His
vsage
is
abrode
in
mens
hands
,
written
by
him selfe
,
a
testimony●
of
their
cruell
and
harde
hartes
,
who
in
sutche
wise
abused
a
sacred
prieste
of
God
.
Being
in
the
cart
prepared
to
death
,
began
first
to
declare
his
bringing
vp
in
the
Catholike
faith
&
religion
,
his
being
in
Oxford
,
vpon
whiche
worde
he
was
stayed
by
one
,
saiing
:
What
haue
we
to
do
with
Oxford
?
come
to
the
purpose
,
and
confesse
thy
treason
.
Wherupon
he
answered
,
I
am
not
guyltye
of
any
suche
death
,
I
was
neuer
at
Rome
,
nor
then
at
Rhemes
,
when
D.
Sanders
came
into
Ireland
,
To
this
ende
he
spake
and
protested
,
as
he
woulde
answere
before
God
.
He
spake
not
much
,
but
where
as
he
was
vrged
more
then
the
other
to
speke
what
he
thought
of
the
said
Bull
of
Pius
quintus
,
he
sayd
he
did
beleue
of
it
as
al
Catholiks
and
the
Catholike
faith
doth
,
and
therupon
protesting
him selfe
to
dye
a
true
catholike
,
saying
Miserere
mei
Deus
,
was
deliuered
of
the
carts
with
more
payn
by
negligence
of
the
hangman
than
either
of
the
other
,
who
after
his
beheading
,
himself
dismembred
,
his
hart
bowels
and
intrels
burned
,
to
the
gret
admiration
of
some
,
being
layd
vpon
the
blocke
his
bellye
downward
,
lifted
vp
his
wholy
body
then
remayning
from
the
grounde
:
and
this
I
adde
vpon
report
of
others
,
not
mine
owne
sight
.
Here
you
haue
the
speach
and
demeinor
of
these
three
glori●us
martirs
at
their
last
hower
,
and
in
their
last
breth
,
of
the
true
report
whereof
I
doe
referre
my selfe
vnto
diuers
of
nobility
and
worship
,
vnto
those
gallant
and
braue
courtiers
who
beheld
and
hard
the
same
,
who
pitti●d
their
innocency
so
punished
,
who
commended
their
death
so
patiently
sustained
,
who
through
mere
pittye
procured
them
fauor
,
and
preuented
the
bloudy
purposes
of
some
cruel
tormenters
:
for
which
fauour
God
rewarde
that
Gentleman
,
who
after
M.
Sherwin
was
put
from
the
cart
,
turned
back
and
said
,
This
man
was
a
wise
man
.
God
,
I
say
,
rewarde
him
,
God
encrease
his
honour
,
God
make
him
a
sheepe
of
his
foulde
,
a
childe
of
his
Church
,
God
boord
him
in
that
arke
which
hath
,
doth
,
and
shal
preserue
al
Christs
folowers
from
the
floud
and
deluge
,
in
which
only
is
grace
,
security
,
and
saluation
,
out
of
whiche
is
nought
but
desperate
miserie
,
&
perdition
.
To
conclude
,
vpon
this
occasion
I
hane
not
thoght
impertinent
to
remember
al
Catholikes
,
and
specially
vs
Preistes
,
of
some
woordes
of
a
lerned
and
famous
Doctor
,
whiche
to
this
ende
I
haue
,
as
it
foloweth
,
gathered
out
of
his
exhortation
to
martirdome
,
largely
and
sweetely
deliuered
vs
in
an
Apologye
of
the
English
Seminaries
:
That
as
the
cause
,
not
the
paine
,
or
persecution
,
(
whereof
our
Heretikes
only
vaunt
them selues
)
iustifieth
all
men
:
so
Christ
,
and
these
good
mens
,
consciences
formed
in
al
pietie
,
mekenesse
,
and
modesty
,
so
their
last
protestation
,
washed
,
sealed
,
&
confirmed
with
their
blood
,
so
their
resolute
death
for
religion
,
for
our
faith
,
for
the
church
,
no
doubt
by
Gods
grace
shal
animat
and
strengthen
vs
,
who
remayne
eyther
in
the
furnace
of
Gods
probation
,
or
in
the
burden
or
broyle
of
this
hote
haruest
of
our
Lorde
,
or
by
suer
treading
,
threshing
,
and
winewing
,
are
laide
vp
for
well
tried
wheate
in
the
barne
floore
of
Christes
Church
.
And
further
may
moue
her
Maiesties
hart
to
haue
compassion
,
maye
open
her
graue
Counselors
eyes
to
see
our
innocency
,
may
alter
our
enemies
and
ill
informers
mindes
to
loue
and
charitie
,
may
stirre
vp
the
minds
of
al
men
inwardly
&
in
conscience
to
consider
the
cause
of
our
sufferance
,
affliction
,
&
imprisonments
,
and
giue
them
such
sense
,
reason
,
and
religion
,
that
they
may
acknowledge
our
vndeserued
calamities
:
I
saye
,
this
may
the
deathes
of
so
good
and
holy
martirs
worke
,
as
they
did
sufficiently
testifie
,
that
they
were
not
acquainted
with
any
conspiracie
against
our
Prince
and
country
,
but
did
suffer
for
the
honor
,
peace
,
and
vnitie
of
the
Churche
,
for
sauing
of
their
soules
,
and
the
soules
of
our
beloued
parentes
,
children
,
&
friendes
,
for
the
defence
of
Christes
priesthood
and
souerainty
in
earth
,
for
his
eternall
sacrifice
and
sacramentes
,
who
moue
the
hart
of
our
noble
Prince
to
tender
her
true
and
trustiest
subiects
afflicted
Catholikes
.
Amen
.
God
saue
the
Queene
.
