THE
ENTRANCE
TO
THE
MATTER
.
ONe
d●y
then
of
the
Christmasse
,
we
three
r●tiring
our selves
after
dinner
,
into
a
large
Gallery
,
for
our
recreation
,
(
as
often
wee
were
●ccustomed
to
doe
,
when
other
went
to
car●s
a
&
other●s
pastimes
:
)
this
Lawyer
by
chance
had
in
his
hand
a
little
booke
,
then
newly
set
forth
,
containing
A
defence
of
the
publique
justice
done
of
l●te
in
Engla●d
,
u●on
divers
Priests
and
other
Papistes
for
treason
:
Which
book
,
the
Lawyer
had
read
to
himselfe
a
lit●le
before
,
and
was
now
putting
it
up
into
his
po●ket
;
But
the
Gentl●man
my
friend
,
who
had
read
over
the
same
once
or
twice
in
my
company
before
,
would
needs
take
the
same
into
his
hand
againe
,
●nd
asked
the
Lawyer
his
ju●gement
upon
the
booke
.
The
L●wyer
answered
:
And
in
this
case
also
,
True
Sir
,
said
the
Lawyer
,
And
what
cause
or
circumstance
may
stay
them
I
pray
you
(
said
the
Gentleman
)
when
they
shall
have
ability
and
oportunity
to
doe
a
thing
which
th●y
so
much
desire
?
Divers
causes
(
quoth
the
Lawyer
)
but
especially
and
above
all
other
(
if
it
be
at
home
in
their
owne
Country
)
the
fear
of
servitude
under
forraine
nations
,
In
Flanders
l●kewise
,
And
as
for
Port●g●ll
,
Surely
(
quoth
he
)
I
must
say
of
these
,
Weslme●land
,
Nor●on
,
Sanders
,
After
the
Lawyer
had
sp●ken
this
,
My
masters
howsoever
this
be
which
indeed
appertaines
not
to
us
to
judge
or
discus
,
but
rather
to
perswade
our selves
,
that
th●
state
hath
reason
to
do
as
it
doth
,
and
that
it
must
oftentimes
as
well
prevent
inconveniences
,
●s
remedy
the
same
when
they
are
happened
:
yet
for
my
owne
part
I
must
confesse
unto
you
,
that
upon
some
considerat●ons
which
use
to
come
unto
my
mind
,
I
take
no
s●all
griefe
of
these
differences
among
us
(
which
you
terme
of
divers
and
different
religions
)
for
which
we
are
driven
of
necessity
to
use
discipline
toward
divers
,
who
possibly
otherwise
would
be
no
great
malefactors
.
I
am
not
ignorant
how
that
misery
procureth
amity
,
The
L●wyer
seeing
him
hold
his
peace
and
depart
,
Truly
Si●
said
the
G●ntleman
,
You
know
the
Bear●s
love
,
said
the
Gentleman
,
which
is
all
for
his
own
panch
,
And
su●ely
u●to
me
it
is
a
strange
speculation
,
whereof
I
cannot
pick
out
the
reason
(
but
onely
that
I
do
attribute
it
to
Gods
punishment
for
our
sinnes
)
that
in
so
wise
and
vigilant
a
State
as
ours
is
,
It
●s
much
truly
(
quoth
I
)
that
you
s●y
,
and
it
ministr●●h
not
a
little
m●rvaile
unto
m●●y
,
The
talke
w●ll
never
out
of
many
mouthes
an●
minds
,
Iohn
Du●●ey
,
to
be
the
raine
in
time
of
his
Maj●sties
royall
house
and
blood
,
which
thing
was
●●ke
to
have
been
fulfilled
soon
after
(
as
all
the
world
knoweth
)
upon
the
death
of
King
Edward
,
by
the
said
Dudley
,
this
mans
Fa●her
:
who
at
one
blow
,
procured
to
disp●tch
from
a
possession
from
the
Crown
,
all
three
children
of
the
said
noble
King
.
And
yet
in
the
middest
of
th●se
bloody
practices
against
her
Majesty
that
now
is
and
her
sister
(
wherein
also
this
fellowes
hand
was
so
far
,
as
for
his
age
he
could
thrust
the
same
)
within
sixteen
dayes
before
King
Edwards
death
(
he
knowing
belike
that
the
King
should
dye
)
wrote
most
flattering
letters
to
the
Lady
Mary
(
as
I
have
heard
by
them
who
then
were
with
her
)
prom●sing
all
loyalty
and
true
service
to
her
,
after
the
decease
of
her
brother
,
So
deal●
he
●hen
with
the
most
deare
ch●ldren
of
his
good
King
and
Master
,
by
whom
he
had
b●ene
no
l●sse
exalted
and
trusted
,
then
this
man
is
by
her
M●j●sty
.
And
so
de●ply
d●ssembled
he
then
when
he
had
in
h●nd
the
plot
to
d●stroy
●hem
bo●h
.
And
wh●t
then
(
alas
)
m●y
not
we
feare
and
doubt
of
thi●
his
son
,
who
in
outragious
ambition
and
d●sire
of
reigne
,
is
not
inf●riour
to
his
Fath●r
or
to
any
o●h●r
aspiring
spirit
in
the
world
,
bu●
far
more
i●s●lent
,
c●u●ll
▪
vindi●ative
,
●xpert
,
pote●t
,
subtile
,
fi●e
and
sox
I
●e
the
●ever
he
was
?
●
like
w●ll
the
good
motion
propounded
by
the
foresaid
Gentlema●
to
his
fr●end
at
the
same
time
,
Indeed
(
said
I
)
it
is
very
probable
that
his
Lordsh●p
w●s
in
great
distresse
about
that
time
,
My
L●rd
himselfe
had
given
o●t
a
little
before
at
〈◊〉
▪
Marry
sir
(
qd
the
Ge●tl●man
)
and
I
trow
many
more
would
have
followed
that
example
.
Unto
all
which
fel
city
,
if
the
Lord
in
mercy
should
have
added
also
some
issue
of
their
royall
bodies
(
as
was
not
impossible
,
when
fi●st
this
noble
match
was
mov●d
,
)
we
then
(
doubtl●ss●
)
had
been
the
most
for●unate
people
under
heaven
,
and
might
h●ve
be●n
(
perhaps
)
the
meane
to
h●ve
restored
th●
Gospell
th●oughout
all
Europe
besides
,
as
our
Brethren
of
France
well
co●sidered
and
hoped
.
Of
all
wh●ch
singular
benefits
bo●h
present
and
to
come
,
bo●h
in
Re
and
Sp●
,
his
tyrant
for
his
own
private
lucre
(
f●aring
l●st
he●e●y
his
ambition
might
be
r●strained
,
and
his
treache●y
r●ve●led
)
h●th
bereaved
the
Realme
,
and
done
what
in
him
lyeth
besides
,
to
alienate
for
●ver
and
make
our
mortall
enemy
this
great
Prince
,
wh●
sou●ht
the
love
of
h●r
M●j●sty
with
so
mu●h
h●nour
&
confid●nc●
as
never
Prince
the
like
,
putting
tw●c●
his

p●rson
in
j●opardy
of
the
s●●
,
and
to
the
p●rill
of
his
ma●●●●ons
envio●s
he●e
in
England
,
for
her
M●j●sties
sake
.
Thwarti●gs
call
you
the
defeating
of
all
her
M●j●sti●s
●●st
honour●ble
off●r
,
of
marriage
?
And
for
the
first
th●ee
Suters
,
he
drove
them
away
,
For
that
report
(
quoth
the
Lawyer
)
I
know
that
it
was
common
,
Robin
Dudley
is
,
noble
onely
in
two
descent●
,
and
both
of
th●m
stained
with
the
block
.
from
which
also
himselfe
was
pardoned
but
the
other
day
,
being
codemned
therunto
by
law
for
his
deserts
,
Oh
(
said
the
Gentl●man
laughing
)
you
meane
for
that
he
procured
the
poisoning
of
her
husband
in
his
journ●y
from
Ireland
.
Philip
Sidney
,
whom
the
same
most
concerneth
:
for
that
it
is
lik●
to
deprive
him
of
a
goodly
inheritance
,
if
it
take
place
(
as
some
will
say
that
in
no
reason
it
can
)
not
only
in
r●spect
of
the
precedent
adultery
and
murder
betweene
the
parties
;
but
also
for
that
my
Lord
was
contracted
at
least
,
Edw●●d
Dia●
and
M●ster
Edmond
Tiney
,
both
Court●ers
,
can
be
witnesses
,
and
consumated
the
same
contract
by
generation
of
children
.
But
th●s
(
as
I
said
)
must
be
left
to
be
tried
hereafter
by
them
who
sh●ll
have
most
interest
in
the
case
.
Onely
for
the
present
I
must
advertise
you
,
that
you
may
not
take
hold
so
exactly
of
all
my
L.
doings
in
w●mens
affaires
,
neither
touching
their
marriages
,
neither
yet
th●ir
h●sbands
.
For
first
his
Lordship
hath
a
speciall
fortu●e
,
that
when
he
d●sireth
any
womans
favour
,
then
wh●t
person
so
ev●r
standeth
in
his
way
,
hath
the
lu●k
to
dye
quickly
for
the
finishing
of
his
desire
.
As
for
●xample
,
Ri●hard
Varney
,
Bal●
Buttle●
kinsman
to
my
Lord
,
Long
after
this
he
f●ll
in
love
with
the
Lady
Sheffi●ld
,
whom
I
signified
b●fore
,
and
then
also
had
he
the
same
fortune
to
have
her
husband
dye
quickly
with
an
extreame
rheume
in
his
head
(
as
it
was
given
out
)
but
as
others
s●y
,
of
an
artificiall
ca●●rre
that
stopped
his
breath
.
The
like
good
chance
had
he
in
the
death
of
my
Lord
of
Essex
(
as
I
have
said
before
)
and
that
●t
a
time
most
fortunate
for
hi●
purpose
;
Shandoies
,
W.
Knooles
his
wif●
:
)
my
Lord
of
Ley
hearing
therof
,
want●d
not
a
friend
or
two
to
accomp●ny
the
D●puty
,
as
among
other
,
a
couple
of
the
Earles
owne
servants
,
Neith●r
must
you
m●rvaile
though
all
these
died
d●vers
manners
of
outward
diseases
,
for
this
is
the
excellen●y
of
the
I●●lian
art
,
for
which
this
Chyru●gian
and
Doctor
Iulio
w●re
entertained
so
carefully
,
Robin
●onnies
,
and
others
,
that
were
present
at
Pentereis
the
Merchants
house
in
Dublin
upon
the
Key
,
where
the
murder
was
committed
.
The
matter
was
wrought
especially
by
Crompton
yeoman
of
the
bottels
,
by
the
procurement
of
Lloyd
as
you
haue
noted
before
,
and
there
was
poysoned
at
the
same
time
,
and
with
the
same
cup
(
a●
given
of
curtesie
by
the
Earle
)
one
Mistresse
Al●s
Draykot
,
a
goodly
Gentlewoman
,
Yong
Honnies
also
,
whose
father
is
Master
of
the
ch●ldren
of
her
M●jesties
chappell
,
being
at
that
time
Page
to
the
said
Earle
,
and
accustomed
to
take
the
taste
of
his
drinke
(
though
since
entert●ined
also
among
other
by
my
Lord
of
Leicester
,
for
better
covering
of
matter
)
by
his
taste
that
he
then
tooke
of
the
compound
cup
,
(
though
in
very
small-quantity
,
as
you
know
the
fashion
is
:
)
yet
was
he
like
to
have
lost
his
life
,
but
escaped
in
the
end
(
being
yong
)
with
the
losse
onely
of
his
haire
;
which
the
Earle
perceiving
,
and
taking
compassion
of
the
youth
,
called
for
a
cup
of
drinke
a
little
before
his
death
,
Nicelas
Throgmarton
,
William
Cicill
,
This
then
is
to
shew
the
mans
good
fortune
,
in
seeing
them
dead
,
whom
for
causes
he
would
not
have
to
live
.
And
for
his
art
of
poisoning
,
it
is
such
now
,
and
tea●heth
so
far
,
as
he
holdeth
all
his
foes
in
England
and
elsewhere
,
as
also
a
good
many
of
his
friends
in
fear
therof
,
and
if
it
were
knowne
how
many
he
h●th
dispatched
or
assaulted
that
way
,
it
would
be
marvailous
to
the
posterity
.
The
late
Eale
of
Sussex
wanted
not
a
scruple
for
many
yeers
before
his
death
,
It
ha●h
beene
told
me
also
by
some
of
the
serva●ts
of
the
late
Lady
Lenox
,
who
was
also
of
the
blood
Royall
by
Scotland
,
Leicester
.
Ma●et
also
,
a
stranger
borne
,
that
then
was
about
her
,
a
sober
and
zealous
man
in
religion
,
and
otherwise
well
qualified
,
can
say
somewhat
in
this
point
(
as
I
thinke
)
if
he
were
demanded
.
So
that
this
art
and
exercise
of
poisoning
,
is
much
more
perfect
with
my
Lord
then
praying
,
and
he
seemeth
to
take
more
pleasure
therein
.
Now
for
the
second
point
,
which
I
named
,
touching
marriages
and
contracts
with
Women
:
you
must
not
marvaile
though
his
Lordship
be
somewhat
divers
,
Robin
Sheffi●ld
now
living
,
some
time
brought
up
at
Newington
;
and
the
other
a
daughter
,
borne
(
as
is
knowne
)
at
Dudley
Castle
.
But
yet
after
,
his
concupiscence
changed
againe
(
as
it
never
stayeth
)
he
resolved
to
make
a
retract
of
this
postcon●r●ct
,
Now
by
my
truth
sir
(
quoth
I
)
I
never
heard
nor
read
the
like
to
this
in
my
life
;
But
,
good
sir
,
what
a
compassion
is
this
,
that
among
us
Christians
,
&
namely
in
so
wel
governed
and
religious
a
Common-wealth
as
ours
is
,
The
ex●erpation
of
the
Tarquinions
.
Anno
Dom.
959.
as
appeareth
in
the
example
of
the
Tarquinians
among
the
Romans
.
And
here
also
in
our
owne
Realme
,
we
have
registred
in
Chronicle
,
how
that
one
King
Edwin
above
six
hundred
yeeres
past
,
was
deprived
of
his
Kingdome
,
for
much
lesse
scandalous
facts
then
these
.
I
remember
well
the
story
(
quoth
the
Gentleman
)
&
thereby
doe
easily
make
conjecture
,
The
keeping
of
the
Mother
with
two
or
three
of
her
daughters
at
once
or
successively
,
is
no
more
with
him
,
then
the
eating
of
an
Hen
&
her
chicken
together
.
There
are
not
(
by
report
)
two
noble
women
about
her
Majesty
(
I
speake
upon
some
accompt
of
them
●hat
know
much
)
whom
he
hath
not
solicited
by
potent
wayes
:
neither
contented
with
this
place
of
honour
,
he
hath
descended
to
seeke
pasture
among
the
waiti●g
Gentlewomen
of
her
Maj●sties
great
chamber
,
offering
more
for
their
allurement
,
And
albeit
the
Lord
of
his
great
mercy
,
to
doe
him
good
,
[

](A50030-e3640-b)
*
The
children
of
adulterers
shall
be
consumed
,
and
the
seed
of
a
wicked
bed
shall
be
rooted
out
,
saith
God
,
Sap.

as
well
may
be
a
witnesse
of
the
Parents
sinne
and
wickednesse
,
and
of
both
their
wasted
natures
in
iniquity
:
yet
is
this
man
nothing
amended
thereby
,
but
according
to
the
custome
of
all
old
adulterers
,
is
more
libidinous
at
this
day
then
ever
before
,
more
given
to
procure
love
in
others
by
conjuring
,
sorcery
,
and
other
such
meanes
.
And
albeit
for
himselfe
,
both
age
,
and
nature
spent
,
doe
somewhat
tame
him
from
the
act
,
yet
wanteth
he
not
will
,
as
appeareth
by
the
Italian
ointment
,
procured
not
many
yeers
p●st
by
his
Chyrurgion
or
Mountibanke
of
that
Countrey
,
Not
without
good
cause
(
quoth
I
)
but
that
we
are
here
alone
,
and
no
man
heareth
us
.
Wherefore
to
tell
you
the
tale
as
it
fell
out
:
I
gr●w
acquainted
three
months
past
with
a
certain
Minister
,
that
now
is
dead
,
and
was
the
same
man
that
was
used
in
Dudley
Castle
,
for
complement
of
some
sacred
ceremonies
at
the
birth
of
my
Lord
of
Leicesters
daughter
in
that
place
:
and
the
matter
was
so
ordained
,
Here
the
Lawyer
began
to
laugh
a
pace
both
at
the
device
and
at
the
Minister
;
But
yet
(
quoth
the
Gentleman
)
I
had
rather
of
the
two
be
his
wife
,
True
it
is
(
said
the
Lawyer
)
for
he
doth
no●
poison
his
wives
,
Secondly
,
Richard
Varney
at
his
going
thither
,
that
he
should
first
attempt
to
kill
her
by
poyson
,
and
if
that
tooke
not
place
,
then
by
any
other
way
to
dispatch
her
howsoever
.
This
I
prove
by
the
report
of
old
Doctor
Bayly
,
who
then
lived
in
Oxford
(
another
manner
of
man
then
he
who
now
liveth
about
my
Lord
of
the
same
name
)
and
was
Professour
of
the
Physicke
Lecture
in
the
same
University
.
They
seeing
the
good
Lady
sad
and
heavy
(
as
one
that
wel
knew
by
her
other
handling
that
her
death
was
not
far
off
)
began
to
perswde
her
,
that
her
disease
was
abundance
of
melancholly
and
other
humors
,
and
therefore
would
needs
counsaile
her
to
take
some
potion
,
which
she
absolutely
refusing
to
do
,
as
suspecting
still
the
worst
;
they
sent
one
day
,
(
unwares
to
her
)
for
Doctor
Bayly
,
and
desired
him
to
perswade
her
to
take
some
little
potion
at
his
hands
,
But
in
the
men
whom
he
poisoned
,
for
that
they
were
such
valiant
Knights
,
the
most
part
of
them
,
as
he
durst
as
soon
have
eaten
his
scabard
,
as
draw
his
sword
in
publike
against
them
:
he
was
inforced
(
as
all
wretched
irefull
and
dastardly
crea●ures
are
)
to
supplant
them
by
fraud
,
and
by
other
mens
hands
.
As
also
at
other
times
,
he
hath
sought
to
doe
unto
divers
other
noble
and
valiant
personages
,
when
he
was
afraid
to
meet
them
in
the
field
,
as
a
Knight
should
have
done
.
His
treacheries
towards
the
noble
late
Earl
of
Sussex
in
their
many
breaches
,
is
notorious
●o
all
England
.
As
also
the
bloody
practises
against
divers
others
.
But
as
among
many
none
were
more
odious
and
misliked
of
all
men
,
then
those
against
Monsieur
Simiers
,
a
stranger
and
Embassadour
;
whom
first
he
practised
to
have
poisoned
(
as
hath
bin
touched
before
)
and
when
that
device
tooke
not
place
,
Robin
Tider
his
man
)
as
after
upon
his
Ale-bench
he
confessed
)
should
have
slaine
him
at
the
Blackfriars
at
Greenwich
as
he
went
for●h
at
the
garden
gate
;
but
missing
also
that
purpose
,
for
that
he
found
the
Gentleman
better
provided
and
guarded
then
he
expected
,
he
dealt
with
certaine
Flushi●ers
and
other
Pirates
to
sinke
him
at
Sea
,
with
the
English
Gentlemen
his
favourers
,
that
accompanied
him
at
his
returne
into
France
.
And
though
they
missed
of
this
practice
also
,
(
as
not
daring
to
set
upon
him
for
feare
of
some
of
her
Majesties
ships
,
who
to
breake
off
this
designment
attended
by
speciall
commandement
,
to
waft
him
over
in
safety
)
yet
the
foresaid
English
Gentlemen
were
holden
foure
houres
in
chace
at
their
coming
backe
,
as
Master
Rawley
well
knoweth
,
being
then
present
,
and
two
of
the
chasers
,
nam●d
Clark
and
Harris
,
confessed
afterward
the
whole
designment
.
William
Killigre
to
lye
in
the
way
where
Ormond
should
passe
,
But
yet
in
general
,
I
must
needs
say
,
that
it
cannot
be
but
prejudiciall
and
exceeding
dangerous
unto
our
noble
Prince
and
Realme
,
that
any
one
man
whatsoever
(
especially
such
a
one
as
the
world
taketh
this
man
to
be
)
should
grow
to
so
absolute
authority
and
commandry
in
the
Court
,
as
to
place
about
the
Princes
person
(
the
head
,
the
heart
,
Neither
is
this
art
of
aspiring
new
or
strange
unto
any
man
that
is
experienced
in
affair●s
of
former
time
;
This
did
all
these
in
the
Roman
Empire
,
who
rose
from
subjects
to
be
great
Princes
,
and
to
put
downe
Emperours
.
This
did
all
those
in
France
and
other
Kingdomes
,
who
at
sundry
times
have
tyrannized
their
Princes
.
And
in
our
owne
Countrey
the
examples
are
manifest
of
Vortiger
,
Harold
,
Henry
of
Lancaster
,
Richard
of
Warwicke
,
Richard
of
Glocester
,
Iohn
of
Northumberland
,
and
divers
others
,
who
by
this
meane
specially
,
have
pulled
downe
their
lawfull
Soveraignes
.
And
to
speake
onely
a
word
or
two
of
the
last
,
for
that
he
was
this
mans
Father
;
doth
not
all
England
know
,
Wherefore
sir
,
if
my
Lord
of
Leicester
have
the
same
plot
in
his
head
(
as
most
men
thinke
)
and
that
he
meaneth
one
day
to
give
the
same
push
at
the
Crowne
by
the
House
of
Huntington
,
against
all
the
race
and
line
of
King
Henry
the
seventh
in
generall
,
which
his
Father
gave
before
him
,
by
pretence
of
the
House
of
Suffolke
,
against
the
Children
of
King
Henry
the
eight
in
particular
;
he
wanteth
not
reason
to
follow
the
same
meanes
and
platform
of
planting
speciall
persons
for
his
purpose
about
the
Prince
,
for
surely
his
fathers
plot
lacked
no
witty
device
or
preparation
,
but
onely
that
God
overthrew
it
at
the
instant
:
(
as
happely
he
may
doe
this
mans
)
also
notwithstanding
any
diligence
that
humane
wisedome
can
use
to
the
contrary
.
To
this
said
the
Gentleman
:
First
,
in
the
privy
Chamber
,
As
well
appeared
in
the
late
marriage
with
Dame
Essex
,
Francis
Knooles
,
and
others
)
and
this
exactly
known
to
the
whole
Court
,
with
the
very
day
,
the
place
,
the
witnesses
,
and
the
Minister
that
married
them
together
:
yet
no
man
durst
open
his
mouth
to
make
her
Majesty
privy
therunto
,
untill
Monsieur
Simiers
disclosed
the
same
,
(
and
therby
incurred
his
high
displeasure
)
nor
yet
in
many
dayes
after
for
feare
of
Lycester
.
Which
is
a
subjection
most
dishonorable
and
dangerous
to
any
Prince
living
,
to
stand
at
the
devotion
of
his
subject
,
what
to
heare
or
not
to
heare
of
things
that
passe
within
his
own
Realme
.
Hereof
also
ensueth
,
that
no
man
may
be
preferred
in
Court
(
be
he
otherwise
never
so
well
a
deserving
servant
to
her
Majesty
)
except
he
be
one
of
Leycesters
faction
or
followers
:
none
can
be
advanced
,
except
he
be
liked
and
preferred
by
him
:
none
receive
grace
,
Which
thing
himselfe
well
knowing
,
frameth
his
spirit
of
proceeding
accordingly
.
And
first
,
Ierome
B●wes
,
Mr.
Geo●ge
Scot
,
and
others
that
we
could
name
.
To
●h●s
insolency
is
also
joyned
(
as
by
nature
it
followeth
)
m●st
absolute
and
peremptory
de●ling
in
all
things
whereof
it
pleaseth
him
to
dispose
,
The
like
hee
useth
out
of
th●
Court
,
in
all
other
places
where
matters
should
passe
by
order
,
To
this
answered
the
Lawyer
,
Now
verily
,
sir
,
Leycestren
sem
Rempublicam
,
a
Leycestrian
Commonwealth
,
They
which
cal
him
the
hea●t
(
said
the
Gentleman
)
upon
a
little
occasion
more
,
Consider
then
(
I
pray
you
)
that
if
at
that
time
,
in
his
disgrace
,
he
had
his
faction
so
fast
assured
to
himself
:
what
hath
he
now
in
his
prosperity
,
after
so
many
yeares
of
fortification
?
wherin
by
all
reason
he
hath
not
been
negligent
,
And
this
of
the
Court
,
houshold
and
Chamber
of
her
Majesty
.
But
now
if
we
shall
passe
from
Cou●t
to
Councell
,
we
shall
find
him
no
lesse
fortified
but
rather
more
:
And
hereof
(
were
I
not
staied
for
respect
of
some
whom
I
may
not
name
)
I
could
alledge
strang
examples
,
not
so
much
in
affaires
belonging
to
subjects
and
to
privat
men
,
Iohn
Throgmarton
,
of
M.
Rob●nson
and
the
like
;
)
wherin
those
of
the
Councell
that
disliked
his
doings
,
least
d●red
to
oppose
themselves
to
the
same
,
but
also
in
things
that
appertaine
directly
to
the
Crown
and
dignity
,
to
the
State
and
Common-weal
,
and
to
the
safety
and
continuance
therof
.
It
is
not
secure
for
any
one
Councellor
,
or
other
of
authority
,
to
take
notice
of
my
Lords
errours
or
misdeeds
,
but
with
extreame
perill
of
their
owne
ruine
.
For
what
thinke
you
?
durst
any
man
take
notice
hereof
,
or
avouch
that
he
had
seen
thus
much
?
durst
he
that
tooke
it
in
Ireland
,
deliver
the
same
where
especially
hee
should
have
done
?
or
they
who
received
it
in
England
,
for
it
came
to
great
hands
,
use
it
to
the
benefit
of
their
Princesse
and
Countrey
?
No
surely
:
for
if
it
had
beene
but
onely
suspected
that
they
had
seene
such
a
thing
,
it
would
have
beene
as
dangerous
unto
them
as
it
was
to
Action
to
have
seene
Diana
and
her
maidens
naked
:
There
was
also
this
last
Summer
past
,
The
good
Earle
answered
his
servant
and
deare
Privado
courteously
,
and
assured
him
for
his
life
,
howsoever
for
outer
shew
and
complement
the
forme
of
Law
might
passe
against
him
.
But
Gates
seeing
himselfe
condemned
,
and
nothing
now
betweene
his
head
and
the
halter
,
but
the
word
of
the
Magistrate
which
might
come
in
an
instant
,
when
it
would
bee
too
late
to
send
to
his
Lord
:
remembring
also
the
small
assurance
of
his
said
Lords
word
by
his
former
dealings
towards
other
men
,
whereof
this
man
was
too
much
privy
,
he
thought
good
to
sollicite
his
case
also
by
some
other
of
his
friends
,
though
not
so
puissant
as
his
Lord
and
M●ster
,
who
dealing
indeed
,
both
diligently
and
effectually
in
his
affaire
,
found
the
matter
more
difficult
a
great
deale
then
either
he
or
they
had
imagined
:
for
that
my
Lord
of
Leycester
was
not
onely
not
his
favourer
,
but
a
great
hastener
of
his
death
under
hand
;
and
that
with
such
care
,
diligence
,
vehemency
,
and
irresistable
meanes
,
(
having
the
Law
also
on
his
side
)
that
there
was
no
hope
at
all
of
escaping
:
which
thing
when
Gates
heard
of
,
he
easily
beleeved
for
the
experience
he
had
of
his
masters
good
nature
,
and
said
,
that
he
alwayes
mistrusted
the
same
,
considering
how
much
his
Lordship
was
in
debt
to
him
,
and
hee
made
privy
to
his
Lordships
foule
secrets
,
which
secrets
hee
would
there
presently
have
uttered
in
the
face
of
all
the
world
,
but
that
he
feared
torments
or
speedy
death
,
with
some
extraordinary
cruelty
,
if
hee
should
so
have
done
,
and
therefore
hee
disclosed
the
same
onely
to
a
Gentleman
of
worship
,
whom
hee
trusted
specially
,
whose
name
I
may
not
utter
for
some
causes
,
(
but
it
beginneth
with
H.
)
and
I
am
in
hope
ere
it
be
long
,
by
meanes
of
a
friend
of
mine
,
to
have
a
fight
of
that
discourse
and
report
of
Gates
,
which
hitherto
I
have
not
seene
nor
ever
spake
I
with
the
Gentleman
that
keepeth
it
,
though
I
be
well
assured
that
the
whole
matter
passed
in
substance
as
I
have
here
recounted
it
.
Whereunto
I
answered
,
that
in
good
faith
it
were
pitty
that
this
relation
should
be
lost
,
Truly
(
said
the
Gentleman
)
I
am
informed
that
it
lyeth
safely
reserved
in
good
custody
,
Neither
must
you
thinke
that
this
is
strange
,
nor
that
the
things
are
few
which
are
in
such
sort
reserved
in
decke
for
the
time
to
come
,
And
in
this
kind
it
is
not
long
sithence
a
worshipfull
and
wise
friend
of
mine
told
mee
a
testimony
in
secret
,
from
●he
mouth
of
as
noble
and
grave
a
Councellour
as
England
hath
enjoyed
these
many
hundred
yeares
:
I
meane
the
late
Lord
Chamberlaine
,
These
were
that
Noblemans
words
,
whereby
you
may
consider
whether
my
Lord
of
L●ycester
be
strong
this
day
in
Councell
or
no
:
and
whether
his
fortification
be
sufficient
in
that
place
.
But
now
if
out
of
the
Councell
,
we
will
turne
but
our
eye
in
the
Countrey
abroad
,
Consider
then
the
chiefe
and
principall
parts
of
this
land
for
martiall
affaires
,
for
use
and
commodity
of
armour
,
for
strength
,
for
opportunity
,
for
liberty
of
the
people
,
as
dwelling
farthest
off
from
the
presence
and
aspect
of
their
Prince
,
such
parts
(
I
say
)
as
are
fittest
for
sudden
enterprises
,
without
danger
of
interception
:
as
are
the
North
,
the
West
,
the
Countries
of
Wales
,
the
Islands
round
about
the
land
,
and
sundry
other
places
within
the
same
:
are
they
not
all
at
this
day
at
his
disposition
?
are
they
not
all
(
by
his
procurement
)
in
the
onely
hands
of
his
friends
and
allyes
?
or
of
such
,
as
by
other
matches
have
the
same
complot
and
purpose
with
him
?
In
Yorke
is
president
the
man
that
of
all
other
is
fittest
for
that
place
,
that
is
,
In
Wales
the
chiefe
authority
from
the
Prince
is
in
his
owne
brother

law
:
The
West
part
of
England
is
under
Bedford
,
In
Ireland

governour
of

appointed
for
their
purposes

that

him
so
,
(
for
that

)
as
he
said
,
he
would

to

revenged

speeches
and
ingrate
recompences
,
as
he
pretendeth
:
but
indeed
for
that
he
is
knowne
to
bee
of
nature
fyrie
,
and
impatient
of
stay
,
from
seeing
that
Commonwealth
on
foot
,
which
the
next
competitours
for
their
gaine
have
painted
out
to
him
and
such
others
,
more
pleasant
then
the
Terrestriall
Paradise

This
then
is
the
Hector
,
this
is
the
Ajax
appointed
for
the
enterprise
,
when

shall
come

This

be

another
R●c●ard
of
Warwicke
,
to
gaine
the
Crowne
for
Henry
the
ninth
of
the
House
of

:
as
the
other
Richard
did
put
downe
Henry
the
sixt
of
the
House
of
Lancaster
,
and
placed
Edward
the
fourth
,
from
whom
Huntington
deriveth
his
title
therefore
this
man
is
necessarily
to
be
entertained
from
time
to

(
as
we
see
now
he
is

in

come
,
it
is
to
bee
furnished
againe
with
a
sure
and
fast
friend
to
L●ycester
and
to
that
faction
.
Sir
Edward
Horsey
.
Sir
George
Carew
.
but
ye●
the
matter
is
supplied
by
the
succession
of
another
,
no
lesse
assured
unto
him
then
the
former
,
or
rather
more
,
through
the
band
of
affinity
by
his
wife
.
The
two
Ilands
of
Gersey
and
Gernsey
are
in
the
possession
of
two
friends
and
most
obliged
dependents
.
And
these
are
the
chiefe
Keyes
,
Fortresses
,
and
Bulwarkes
,
within
,
without
and
about
the
Realm
,
which
my
Lord
of
Leycester
possessing
,
(
as
hee
doth
)
hee
may
be
assured
of
the
body
within
:
where
notwithstanding
(
as
hath
beene
shewed
)
he
wanteth
no
due
preparation
for
strength
:
having
at
his
disposition
(
besides
all
aydes
and
other
helpes
specified
before
)
her
Majesties
horse
,
Owin
Hopton
his
sworne
servant
,
as
ready
to
rescue
and
furnish
him
with
the
whole
,
if
occasion
served
,
as
one
of
his
predecessours
was
,
to
receive
his
Father
in
King
Edwards
day●s
,
for
the
like
effect
,
against
her
Majesty
and
her
Sister
.
And
in
the
City
of
London
it selfe
,
Whereunto
if
you
〈◊〉
now
his
owne
forces
and
furniture
which
hee
h●th
in
Killingworth
Castle
,
and
o●he●
places
,
as
also
the
forces
of
Huntington
in
particular
,
w●th
their
friends
,
followers
,
allies
and
comparten●rs
,
you
shall
finde
that
they
are
not
behi●de
in
their
preparations
.
And
I
know
th●t
the
estimation
of
this
place
was
such
,
among
divers
,
many
yeares
agoe
:
as
when
at
a
time
her
M●jesty
l●y
dangerously
sick
,
and
like
to
dye
,
at
Hampton
Court
,
a
certaine
Gentleman
of
the
Court
came
unto
my
Lord
of
Huntington
,
The
prop●si●ion
was
well
liked
,
and
the
matter
esteemed
of
great
importance
,
and
consequently
received
wi●h
many
thankes
.
But
yet
afterward
her
Majesty
by
the
good
prov●dence
of
God
,
recovering
againe
,
let●ed
the
execution
of
the
bargain
:
and
my
Lord
of
Huntington
having
occasion
to
joyne
amity
with
Ley●ester
,
had
more
respect
to
his
owne
commodity
,
then
to
his
friends
security
,
(
as
commonly
in
such
persons
and
cases
it
falleth
out
)
and
so
discovered
the
whole
device
unto
him
,
who
forgat
not
after
,
from
time
to
time
,
to
plague
the
deviser
by
secret
means
,
untill
he
had
brought
him
to
that
poore
esta●e
,
as
all
the
world
seeth
:
though
many
men
be
●ot
acquainted
with
the
true
cause
of
this
his
disgrace
and
bad
fortune
.
To
this
answered
the
Lawyer
:
And
for
his
will
,
though
it
be
seldome
Law
,
yet
alwaye●
is
his
power

,
as
Astronomers
have

or
as

North
Pole
.
For
that
(
said
the
Gentleman
)
whether
he
doe
or
no
,
it
importeth
little
to
the
matter
:
Falling

and
every

:
he
that
hath
his
share
in
all
offices
of
great

,
and
holdeth
an
abs●lute
Monop●ly
of

or
of

Chaplains
whom
he
listeth
,
You
h●ve
said
much
sir
,
You
remember
(
I
doubt
not
)
the
story
of
him
that
offered
his
Prince
a
great
yearly
rent
,
And
for
his
lucre
abroad
upon
the
same
cause
,
I
leave
to
other
men
to
conceive
what
it
may
b●
,
In
particular
onely
this
I
can
say
,
that
I
have
heard
of
sundry
Frenchmen
,
that
at
such
time
as
the
treaty
w●s
betweene
France
and
England
,
for
the
re-delivery
of
Callis
unto
us
againe
,
in
the
first
yeare
of
her
Majesties
reigne
that
now
is
,
when
the
Frenchmen
were
in
great
distresse
and
mis●ry
,
and
King
Phi●ip
refused
absolutely
to
make
peace
with
them
,
except
Callis
were
restored
to
England
(
whither
for
that
purpose
he
had
now
delivered
the
French
hostages
:
)
the
Frenchmen
doe
report
(
I
say
)
that
my
Lord
of
Leycester
stood
them
in
g●e●t
stead
at
●hat
necessity
,
A
small
m●tter
in
him
(
said
the
Gentleman
)
for
in
this
he
did
no
more
,
An
evill
race
of
Merchants
for
the
Common-wealth
(
quoth
the
L●wyer
)
but
y●t
,
Sir
,
His
licences
do
stand
thus
▪
first
he
got
licence
for
certaine
great
numbers
of
cloaths
,
To
this
adde
now
his
licence
of
silkes
and
velvets
,
Here
th●
L●wyer
stood
still
a
p●etty
while
,
biting
his
lip
,
It
may
be
(
said
the
Gentleman
)
that
the
secrets
there
in
contained
,
be
such
,
Edmund
Dudlis
book
,
be
the
Prince
and
his
race
:
and
the
fruits
to
be
gathered
from
that
tree
,
bee
riches
,
honours
,
dignities
,
and
preferments
:
then
no
doubt
,
but
as
the
writer
Edmund
was
cunning
therein
:
so
have
his
two
followers
,
Iohn
and
Robert
,
well
studied
and
practized
the
same
,
or
rather
have
,
exceeded
and
farre
p●ssed
the
authour
himselfe
.
The
one
of
them
gathering
so
eagerly
,
and
with
such
vehemency
,
as
he
was
like
to
have
broken
down
the
maine
bough●s
for
greedinesse
:
the
other
yet
plucking
and
heaping
so
fast
to
hims●lfe
and
his
friends
,
as
it
is
and
may
be
,
most
jus●ly
doubted
,
that
when
they
have
cropped
all
they
can
,
from
the
tree
left
them
by
their
father
Edmund
(
I
meane
the
race
of
King
Henry
the
seventh
)
then
will
they
pluck
up
the
Stemme
it self
by
the
rootes
,
as
unprofitable
:
And
howsoever
this
be
,
it
cannot
be
denied
,
Edm.
Dudlis
brood
,
have
learned
by
this
book
,
and
by
other
meanes
to
be
more
c●nning
gatherers
,
then
ever
their
first
progenitor
was
that
made
the
book
.
First
for
th●t
he
made
profession
to
gather
to
his
Prince
(
though
wickedly
)
and
these
men
make
demonstration
,
that
they
have
gathered
for
themselves
:
and
that
with
much
more
iniquity
.
Secondly
,
for
that
E●mund
Dudley
though
hee
got
himselfe
neare
about
the
tree
,
yet
was
he
content
to
stand
on
the
ground
,
and
to
serv●
himselfe
from
the
tree
,
as
commodity
was
offered
:
but
his
children
not
e●teeming
that
●afe
g●th●ring
,
will
needs
mount
aloft
upon
the
tree
,
to
pull
,
croppe
,
and
rifl●
at
their
pleasure
.
Iohn
Dudley
was
more
subt●le
,
then
Edmund
the
Father
:
so
in
a
third
point
,
the
Nephey
Robert
Dudley
is
more
crafty
then
●hey
both
.
For
that
,
hee
seeing
the
evill
successe
of
those
two
that
went
before
him
,
hee
hath
provided
together
so
much
in
convenient
time
,
and
to
make
himselfe
therewith
so
fat
and
strong
,
(
wherein
th●
o●her
two
failed
)
as
he
will
never
be
in
danger
more
,
to
be
call●d
to
any
accompt
for
the
same
.
In
good
faith
Sir
(
quoth
the
Lawyer
)
I
thanke
you
heartily
,
Edmund
Dudleis
tree
of
Common-wealth
.
And
by
your
opinion
,
my
Lord
of
Leycester
is
the
most
learned
of
all
his
kindred
,
and
a
very
cunning
Logitio●er
indeed
,
t●at
can
draw
for
himselfe
so
commo●iou●
conclusion
,
out
of
the
perillous
prem●ss●s
of
his
progenitors
.
No
marvail
(
quoth
the
Gentleman
)
for
that
his
L.
is
Master
of
Art
in
Oxford
,
Tou●hing
Oxford
(
sai●
I
)
for
that
I
am
an
U●ivers●ty
man
my selfe
,
For
our
own
,
I
will
not
s●y
much
,
The
Priests
and
Jesuists
here
executed
within
the
land
,
and
other
that
remaine
either
in
pr●son
,
or
abroad
in
corners
:
are
they
not
all
(
in
a
manner
)
of
that
Universi●y
?
I
speak
not
to
the
disgrace
of
any
good
that
remaine
there
,
or
that
have
issued
out
th●nce
into
the
Lords
Viney●rd
:
but
for
the
most
part
there
,
of
●hi●●ur
time
,
have
they
not
either
gone
beyond
●he
seas
,
or
left
their
places
for
discontentment
in
Religion
,
or
else
become
Serving●en
,
or
followed
the
bare
name
of
Law
or
Physick
,
without
greatly
profiting
therein
,
or
fur●hering
●he
service
of
Gods
Church
,
or
their
Commonwealth
?
And
wherehence
(
I
pray
you
)
ensueth
all
this
,
but
by
reason
that
the
chiefe
Governour
thereof
is

Atheist

Wherefore
to
returne
to
the
speech
where
we
began
:
most
●leare
it
is
,
that
my
Lord
of
L●yceste●
hath
meanes
to
g●ine
and
g●ther
also
by
the
University
,
as
w●l
a●
by
the
country
abroad
.
Wherin
(
as
I
am
told
)
he
beareth
h●mselfe
so
absolute
a
Lord
,
as
if
he
were
their
King
,
and
not
their
Chanc●llour
.
Nay
far
more
then
if
he
w●re
the
generall
and
p●rticular
founder
of

of

no

daring

o●
interrupt
the

with
h●s
extreame

a

more
fit

,
or
some
Governour

,
then
for

Chancellour

To
this
answ●red
the

Hereof

and
in
the
end
were
faine
to
submit
themselves
un●o

,
wi●h
far
worse
conditions
then
in
the

were

unto
them
:
which
thing
wa●
pittifull
indeed
to
b●hold
,

yet
s●●h
is
my

disposition
.
A
noble
disposition
(
quoth
the
Gentleman
,
)
th●t
I
must
give
h●m
my
●oat
,
if
hee
dem●nd
the
●ame
,
and
that
quickly
●lso
,
for
feare
lest
i●
I
stagger

m●ke
doubt
ther●of
,
hee
co●pell
me
to
yeeld
both
coat
and
doublet
,
in
penance
of
my
stay
.
I
have
read
of
some
such
Tyrants
abroad
in
the
world
:
marry
their
end
was
alwayes
according
to
their
life
,
as
it
is
very
like
that
it
will
be
also
in
this
man
,
for
that
there
is
smal
hope
of
his
amendment
,
and
God
passeth
not
over
commonly
such
matters
unpunished
in
this
life
,
as
well
as
in
the
life
to
come
.
But
I
pray
you
si●
,
s●●ing
mention
is
now
made
of
the
former
opp●essi●ns
,
so
much
talked
of
throughout
the
realm
,
tha●
you
will
take
the
pains
to
explain
the
subst●nce
therof
un●o
me
;
for
albeit
in
generall
,
every
m●n
do●h
know
●he
same
,
and
in
heart
doe
detest
the
tyranny
th●reof
;
yet
we
abroad
in
the
Countrey
,
doe
do●
understand
it
so
well
and
distinctly
as
you
●hat
be
Lawyers
,
who
have
seene
and
understood
●he
whole
processe
of
the
same
.
The
case
of
K●llingworth
and
D●nbigh
(
said
the
Lawyer
)
are
much
alike
in
matter
and
manner
of
proceeding
,
But
the
matter
of
Snowden
Forest
,
doth
passe
all
the
rest
,
And
thereupon
he
chose
out
Commissioners
fit
for
the
p●rpose
,
and
sent
them
into
Wales
,
with
the
like
Commission
as
a
certaine
Emperour
was
wont
to
give
his
Majestrates
,
when
they
departed
from
him
to
governe
,
as
Suetonius
writeth
,
Which
when
the
Common●lty
saw
,
and
that
they
profited
nothing
by
their
compla●ning
and
cry●ng
out
of
this
tyranny
:
they
appointed
to
send
some
certaine
number
of
themselves
,
to
London
,
to
m●ke
supplication
to
the
Prince
:
and
so
they
did
;
choosing
out
for
that
purpose
a
dozen
G●ntlemen
,
and
many
more
of
the
Commons
of
the
Countrey
of
Llin
,
to
deale
for
the
whole
.
Who
com●ng
to
London
,
and
exhibiting
a
most
humble
suppli●ation
to
her
M●jesty
for
redresse
of
their
oppression
:
received
an
answer
,
by
the
procurement
of
my
Lord
of
Leycester
,
that
they
should
have
justice
,
if
the
commonalty
would
returne
home
to
their
houses
,
and
the
Gentlemen
remaine
there
,
to
solicite
the
cause
.
Which
as
soone
as
they
had
yeelded
unto
,
the
Gentlemen
were
all
taken
and
cast
into
prison
,
and
there
kept
for
a
great
space
,
and
afterward
were
sent
downe
to
Ludlow
,
(
as
the
place
most
eminent
of
all
these
Countries
)
there
to
weare
papers
of
perjury
,
and
receive
other
punishments
of
infamy
.
for
their
complaining
:
which
punishments
notwithstanding
,
afterward
upon
great
suit
of
the
parties
and
their
friends
,
were
turned
into
great
fines
of
money
,
which
they
were
constrained
to
pay
,
and
yet
besides
to
agree
also
with
my
Lord
of
Leycester
for
their
owne
lands
,
Wherby
not
onely
these
private
Gentlemen
,
but
all
the
whole
Countrey
thereabout
,
was
and
is
(
in
a
manner
)
utterly
undone
.
And
the
participation
of
this
injury
,
reacheth
so
far
and
wide
,
and
is
so
generall
in
these
parts
,
as
you
shall
scarce
finde
a
man
that
cometh
from
that
coast
,
who
feeleth
no●
the
smart
thereof
;
being
either
impoverished
,
beggered
or
ruinated
thereby
.
Or
rather
I
should
feare
the
successe
of
Vitellius
the
third
Emp●ror
after
Nero
,
I
have
read
in
Lean●er
,
in
his
description
of
Italy
,
how
that
in
Spoleto
(
if
I
be
not
d●ceived
)
the
chiefe
City
of
the
Country
of
Umbria
,
But
to
the
purpose
:
seeing
my
Lord
careth
little
for
such
examples
,
and
is
become
so
hardy
now
,
as
he
maketh
no
account
to
injury
and
oppresse
whole
Countries
and
Commonalties
together
;
As
for
example
:
whose
heart
would
not
bleed
to
heare
the
case
before
mentioned
of
M●ster
Robinson
of
Staffordshire
;
What
shall
I
speake
of
others
,
whereof
there
would
be
no
end
?
as
of
his
dealing
with
M●ster
Richard
Lee
,
Ludowick
Grivell
,
by
seeking
to
bereave
him
of
all
his
l●ving
at
once
,
if
the
drift
had
taken
place
?
George
Witney
,
in
the
behalfe
of
Sir
Henry
Le●gh
,
for
inforcing
him
to
forgoe
the
Controlership
at
Woodstock
,
which
he
holdeth
by
Patent
from
King
Hen●y
the
seventh
?
with
my
Lord
Barkley
▪
What
shall
I
say
of
his
intollerable
tyranny
upon
the
last
Ar●hbishop
of
Canterbury
,
Iohn
Th●o●ma●ton
,
Drew
Drew●y
,
No
doubt
(
quoth
the
Lawyer
)
but
these
are
great
matters
,
I
know
not
whether
I
doe
expound
or
declare
my self
well
or
no
;
but
my
meaning
is
,
that
wheras
every
Prince
hath
two
points
of
●ssurance
from
his
subject
;
the
one
,
in
that
he
is
faithfull
,
and
lacketh
will
to
annoy
his
Soveraigne
;
the
other
,
for
that
he
is
weake
and
wanteth
ability
to
do
the
same
:
Considering
then
upon
that
which
hath
beene
said
and
specified
before
,
how
that
my
Lord
of
Leicester
hath
possessed
himself
of
all
the
strength
,
powers
and
sinewes
of
the
Realme
,
hath
drawne
all
to
his
own
direction
,
and
hath
made
his
party
so
strong
,
as
it
seemeth
not
resistable
:
you
have
great
reason
to
say
,
that
her
Majesty
may
justly
conceive
some
doubt
,
for
that
if
his
will
were
according
to
his
power
,
most
assured
it
is
,
that
her
Majesty
were
not
in
safety
.
What
meaneth
his
so
diligent
besieging
of
the
Princes
person
?
I
remember
I
have
heard
oftentimes
of
divers
a●cient
and
grave
men
in
Cambridge
,
Gentleman
.
The
abuse
of
●he
Statute
for
silence
in
the
true
succession
.
No
:
th●y
need
not
(
quoth
the
Gentlema●
)
seeing
their
party
is
so
strong
and
terrible
,
as
no
man
dare
accuse
them
:
seeing
also
they
well
know
,
that
the
procurement
of
that
Statute
,
was
o●ely
to
endanger
or
stop
the
mouthes
of
the
true
Successors
,
whiles
themselves
in
the
meane
space
went
about
under
hand
,
to
establish
their
owne
ambushment
.
Well
:
(
quoth
the
Lawyer
)
for
the
pretence
of
my
Lord
of
Huntington
to
the
Crowne
,
And
that
is
,
first
,
As
for
the
first
,
that
my
Lord
of
Leycester
is
very
well
knowne
to
have
no
title
to
the
Crowne
himselfe
,
either
by
discent
in
blood
,
alliance
or
otherw●yes
.
For
the
second
,
that
his
Lord
.
hath
no
cause
to
be
a
M●lecontent
in
the
present
government
,
nor
h●pe
for
more
preferment
,
if
my
Lord
of
Huntington
were
King
to
morrow
next
,
then
he
receiveth
now
at
her
Maj●sties
hands
;
having
all
the
Realme
(
as
hath
bin
shewed
)
at
his
owne
disposition
.
For
the
first
(
quoth
●e
Gentleman
)
whether
he
meane
the
Crowne
for
hims●lf●
,
The
words
of
his
speciall
Councellour
the
Lord
North
,
Thomas
Layton
,
to
Sir
Henry
Nevile
,
walking
upon
the
Ta●resse
at
Windsor
are
known
,
who
told
him
,
after
long
discourse
of
their
happy
conceived
Kingdome
,
that
hee
doubted
not
,
but
to
see
him
one
day
,
hold
the
same
office
in
Windsor
,
of
my
Lord
of
Leycester
,
which
●ow
my
Lord
did
hold
of
the
Queene
.
Meaning
thereby
the
goodly
office
of
Constableship
,
wi●h
all
Roy●lties
and
honours
belonging
to
the
same
,
which
now
the
said
Sir
Henry
exerciseth
on●ly
as
Deputy
to
the
Earle
.
Which
was
plainely
to
signifie
,
that
,
he
doubted
not
but
to
see
my
Lord
of
Leycester
one
day
King
,
or
els
his
other
hope
could
never
possibly
ta●●
effect
or
come
to
passe
.
To
the
same
point
●ended
the
words
of
Mistress●
Anne
West
,
Da●e
Lettice
sister
,
Anne
Askew
,
in
the
great
Chamber
,
upon
a
day
when
her
broth●r
Robert
K●owles
had
danced
disgratiously
and
scornfully
before
the
Queen
in
p●esence
of
the
French
.
Which
thing
for
that
her
Majesty
tooke
to
proceed
of
wis●in
him
,
●s
for
disl●ke
of
the
strangers
in
presence
,
and
for
the
quarrell
of
his
sister
Essex
;
it
pleased
her
Majesty
to
check
him
for
the
same
,
with
additio●
of
a
reproachfull
word
or
two
(
full
well
deserved
)
as
though
done
for
despite
of
the
forced
abse●ce
from
that
place
of
honour
,
of
the
good
old
Gentlewoman
(
I
mitigate
the
wor●s
)
his
sister
.
Which
words
,
the
other
young
twig
receiving
in
deepe
dudgen
,
brake
forth
in
great
choler
to
her
forenamed
companion
,
and
said
,
Th●t
she
nothing
doubted
,
but
that
one
day
shee
should
see
her
sister
,
upon
whom
the
Queene
railed
now
so
much
(
for
so
it
pleased
her
to
tearme
her
Majesties
sharpe
speech
)
to
sit
in
her
place
and
throne
,
being
much
worthier
of
the
same
,
for
her
qualities
and
rare
vertues
,
then
was
the
other
.
Which
undut●full
speech
,
albeit
it
were
over-heard
and
condemned
of
divers
that
sate
about
them
,
yet
none
durst
ever
report
the
same
to
her
Majesty
,
as
I
h●ve
heard
sundry
Courtiers
affirme
,
in
respect
of
the
revenge
which
the
reporters
should
abide
at
my
Lord
of
Leycesters
hands
,
whensoever
the
m●t●er
should
come
to
light
.
And
this
is
now
concerning
the
opinion
and
secret
speeches
of
my
Lords
owne
friends
,
who
cannot
but
utter
their
conceit
and
judgement
in
time
and
place
convenient
,
whatsoever
they
are
w●lled
to
give
out
publikely
to
the
contrary
,
for
deceiving
of
such
as
will
beleeve
faire
painted
words
,
against
evident
and
manifest
demonstration
of
reason
.
Adde
to
this
,
that
ambition
is
jealous
,
suspitious
and
fearfull
of
it selfe
,
especially
when
it
is
j●yned
with
a
conscience
loden
w●th
the
guilt
of
many
crimes
,
whereof
he
would
be
loth
to
be
called
to
account
,
or
be
subject
to
any
man
that
might
by
au●hority
take
review
of
his
life
&
actions
,
when
it
should
please
him
.
In
which
kinde
,
seeing
my
Lord
of
Leycester
hath
so
much
to
encrease
his
feare
,
as
before
hath
beene
shewed
by
his
wicked
dealings
:
it
is
not
like
,
that
ever
hee
will
put
himselfe
to
another
mans
courtesie
,
for
passing
his
audict
in
particular
reckonings
,
which
he
can
no
way
answer
or
satisfie
:
but
rather
will
stand
upon
the
grosse
Sum
,
and
generall
Quietus
est
,
by
making
himselfe
chiefe
Auditour
,
and
Master
of
all
accompts
for
his
owne
part
in
this
life
,
howsoever
he
do
in
the
next
:
whereof
such
humours
have
little
regard
.
And
this
is
for
the
nature
of
ambition
in
it selfe
.
The
second
argument
may
bee
taken
from
my
Lords
particular
disposition
:
which
is
such
,
Thirdly
,
Naturall
issue
)
to
be
put
into
the
Statute
of
succession
for
the
Crowne
,
against
all
order
and
custome
of
our
Realme
,
and
against
the
knowne
common
stile
of
Law
,
accustomed
to
bee
used
in
Statutes
of
such
matter
:
whereby
hee
might
be
able
after
the
death
of
her
Majesty
,
to
make
ligitimate
to
the
Crowne
any
one
bastard
of
his
owne
,
by
any
of
so
many
hacknies
as
he
keepeth
,
affirming
it
to
bee
the
Naturall
issue
of
her
Majesty
by
himselfe
.
For
no
other
reason
can
bee
imagined
why
the
ancient
usuall
words
of
Lawfull
issue
should
so
cunningly
bee
changed
into
Naturall
issue
;
thereby
not
onely
to
indanger
our
whole
Realme
with
new
quarrels
of
succession
,
but
also
to
touch
(
as
farre
as
in
him
lyeth
)
the
Royall
honour
of
his
Soveraigne
,
who
hath
beene
to
him
but
too
bountifull
a
Princesse
.
Fourthly
,
when
after
a
time
these
fetches
and
devices
began
to
be
discovered
,
he
changed
straight
his
course
,
and
turned
to
the
Papists
and
Scottish
faction
,
pretending
the
marriage
of
the
Queene
in
prison
.
But
yet
after
this
againe
,
finding
therein
not
such
successe
as
contented
him
throughly
,
and
having
in
the
meane
space
a
new
occasion
offered
of
baite
;
he
betooke
himselfe
fiftly
to
the
party
of
Huntington
:
having
therein
(
no
doubt
)
as
good
meaning
to
himselfe
,
as
his
Father
had
by
joyning
with
Suffolke
.
Marry
yet
of
late
,
he
hath
cast
anew
about
,
once
againe
,
●or
himselfe
in
secret
,
by
treating
the
marriage
of
young
Arbella
with
his
Son
,
So
that
by
this
we
see
the
disposition
of
this
man
bent
wholly
to
a
scepter
.
And
albeit
in
right
title
,
and
discent
of
bloud
(
as
you
say
)
hee
can
justly
claime
neither
Kingdome
nor
Cottage
(
considering
either
the
basenesse
or
disloyalty
of
his
Ancestours
:
)
if
in
respect
of
his
present
state
and
power
,
and
of
his
naturall
pride
,
ambition
,
and
crafty
conveyance
,
received
from
his
Father
,
hee
hath
learned
how
to
put
himselfe
first
in
possession
of
chiefe
rule
,
under
other
pretences
,
and
after
to
devise
upon
the
title
at
his
leasure
.
But
now
to
come
to
the
third
argument
:
As
wee
saw
in
the
examples
of
the
reconciliation
,
Wherefore
I
can
never
thinke
that
my
Lord
of
Leycester
will
put
himselfe
in
danger
of
the
like
successe
at
Huntingtons
hands
:
but
rather
will
follow
the
plot
of
his
owne
Father
,
And
what
Huntingtons
secret
opinion
of
Leycester
is
,
(
notwithstanding
this
outward
shew
of
dependance
)
it
was
my
chance
to
learne
,
Well
(
quoth
the
Lawyer
)
it
s●emeth
by
this
last
point
,
Verily
(
quoth
I
)
this
had
beene
an
excellent
Stratageme
,
if
it
had
taken
place
.
O
(
quoth
the
Gentleman
)
you
question
like
a
Schollar
.
Leycester
,
Talbot
,
and
●h●
Co●ntesse
of
Shr●ve●bury
.
And
what
doe
you
thinke
(
I
pray
you
)
of
this
new
T●iumvirat
so
lately
concluded
about
Arbell●
?
(
for
so
I
must
call
the
same
,
though
one
of
the
three
persons
bee
no
Vir
,
but
Virago
;
)
I
meane
of
the
ma●riage
betweene
young
Denbigh
and
the
little
Daughter
of
Lenox
,
whe●eby
the
Father-in-law
,
the
Grand-mother
,
and
the
Uncle
of
the
new
designed
Queene
,
have
conceived
to
themselves
a
singular
triumphant
raigne
.
But
what
doe
you
think
may
ensue
hereof
?
is
there
nothing
of
the
old
plot
of
Duke
John
of
Northumberland
in
this
?
But
either
part
,
in
truth
,
seeketh
to
deceive
other
:
and
therefore
it
is
hard
to
say
where
the
game
in
fine
will
rest
.
Well
,
And
howsoever
these
two
conjoyned
Earles
,
Glocester
,
A●t
.
1.
Edw.
5.
made
an
end
of
him
also
in
the
Tower
,
at
the
the
very
same
day
and
houre
,
that
the
other
were
by
his
counsell
destroyed
in
Pontfret
Castle
.
So
that
where
the
Goale
and
price
of
the
game
is
a
Kingdome
,
there
is
neither
faith
,
neither
good
fellowship
,
nor
faire
play
among
the
Gamesters
.
And
this
shall
be
enough
for
the
first
point
:
(
viz.
)
what
good
my
Lord
of
Leycester
meaneth
to
himselfe
in
respect
of
Huntington
.
Touching
the
second
,
whether
the
attempt
be
purposed
in
her
Majesties
dayes
or
no
,
As
for
that
which
is
alleadged
before
,
for
my
Lord
in
the
reason
of
his
Defenders
:
When
the
Percies
took
part
with
Henry
of
Bolingbrooke
,
Northumberland
,
Wor●ester
,
and
Stafford
together
,
besides
many
other
offices
and
dignities
of
honour
.
In
like
sort
,
when
the
two
Neviles
tooke
upon
them
to
joyne
with
Richard
of
Yorke
,
If
you
say
that
these
men
hated
their
Soveraigne
,
This
he
shewed
evidently
in
the
time
of
his
little
disgrace
,
wherein
hee
no●
onely
did
diminish
,
vilipend
,
and
debase
among
his
friends
,
the
inestimable
benefits
hee
hath
received
from
her
Majestie
,
but
also
used
to
exprobrate
his
owne
good
services
and
merits
,
and
to
touch
her
highnesse
with
ingrate
consideration
and
recompence
of
the
same
;
which
behaviour
,
together
with
his
hasty
preparation
to
rebellion
,
and
assault
of
her
Majesties
Royall
person
and
dignity
,
upon
so
small
a
cause
given
,
did
well
shew
what
minde
inwardly
he
beareth
to
his
Soveraigne
,
And
surely
it
is
a
wonderfull
matter
to
consider
what
a
little
check
,
or
rather
the
bare
imagination
of
a
small
overthwart
,
may
worke
in
a
proud
and
disdainfull
stom●cke
.
The
remembrance
of
his
marriag●
miss●d
,
that
hee
so
much
pretended
and
desired
with
her
Majestie
,
Wherefore
,
For
if
in
the
time
of
their
plotting
,
when
as
yet
their
designements
were
not
published
to
the
world
,
they
had
under
the
countenance
of
the
King
(
as
well
they
might
have
done
)
gotten
into
their
hands
the
two
Sisters
,
and
dispatched
some
other
few
affaires
,
before
they
had
caused
the
young
Prince
to
die
:
no
dobut
,
but
in
mans
reason
the
whole
designement
had
taken
place
:
and
consequently
it
is
to
be
presupposed
,
that
these
men
(
being
no
fooles
in
their
owne
affaires
)
will
take
heed
of
falling
into
the
like
errour
by
delay
:
but
rather
will
make
all
sure
,
by
striking
while
the
iron
is
hot
,
as
our
proverbe
warneth
them
.
At
these
words
the
old
Lawyer
stepped
back
,
And
so
much
more
it
maketh
mee
to
doubt
,
For
(
alas
)
what
should
become
of
this
our
native
Countrey
,
if
God
should
take
from
us
her
most
excellent
Majesty
(
as
once
he
will
)
and
so
leave
us
destitute
upon
the
sudden
,
Christopher
Hattons
Oration
.
I
was
within
hearing
some
six
or
seaven
yeares
agoe
,
when
Sir
Christopher
Hatton
,
in
a
very
great
assembly
,
made
an
eloquent
oration
(
which
after
I
wene
was
put
in
print
)
at
the
pardoning
and
delivery
of
him
from
the
gallowes
,
that
by
errour
(
as
was
thought
)
had
discharged
his
peece
upon
her
Majesties
Barge
,
and
hurt
certaine
persons
in
her
Highnesse
presence
.
And
in
that
Oration
he
declared
and
described
very
effectually
,
what
inestimable
dammage
had
ensued
to
the
Realme
,
if
her
Majesty
by
that
or
any
other
means
should
have
beene
taken
from
us
.
He
set
forth
most
lively
before
the
eyes
of
all
men
,
what
division
,
what
dissension
,
what
bloudshed
had
ensued
,
&
what
fatall
dangers
were
most
certaine
to
fall
upon
us
,
whensoever
that
dolefull
day
should
happen
:
wherein
no
man
should
be
sure
of
his
life
,
of
his
goods
,
of
his
wife
,
of
his
children
:
no
man
certain
whether
to
flie
,
whom
to
follow
,
or
where
to
seeke
repose
or
protection
.
And
as
all
the
hearers
there
present
did
easily
grant
that
he
therein
said
truth
,
and
farre
lesse
then
might
have
beene
said
in
that
behalfe
,
things
standing
as
they
doe
:
so
many
one
(
I
trow
)
hath
heard
these
words
proceed
from
a
Councellour
,
that
had
good
cause
to
know
the
state
of
his
own
Countrey
,
entred
into
this
cogitation
,
what
punishment
they
might
deserve
then
,
Is
there
no
remedy
,
but
that
wee
must
willingly
and
wittingly
runne
into
our
owne
ruine
?
and
for
the
favour
or
feare
of
some
few
aspirours
,
betray
our
Countrey
,
and
the
bloud
of
so
many
thousand
innocents
as
live
within
the
land
?
They
have
good
care
thereof
I
can
assure
you
,
Here
said
I
,
fo●●he
rest
which
you
speake
of
,
besides
the
Watch
word
,
This
Watch-word
is
,
(
said
I
)
Whether
you
be
setled
or
no
?
Schollar
.
Are
you
●atled
.
and
if
you
answer
yea
,
and
seeme
to
understand
the
meaning
thereof
:
then
are
you
knowne
to
be
of
their
faction
,
and
so
to
bee
accompted
and
dealt
withall
for
things
to
come
.
But
if
you
stagger
or
doubt
in
answering
,
as
if
you
knew
not
perfectly
the
mistery
,
(
as
the
Nobleman
my
good
Lord
did
,
imagining
that
it
had
beene
meant
of
his
religion
,
which
was
very
well
knowne
to
be
good
,
and
setled
in
the
Gospell
)
then
are
you
discried
thereby
,
either
not
to
be
of
their
side
,
or
else
to
be
but
a
Punie
not
well
instructed
;
and
consequently
,
Ma●ry
the
Noble
man
,
whereof
I
spake
before
,
perceiving
by
the
demanding
,
that
there
was
some
mistery
in
covert
,
under
the
question
:
tooke
hold
of
the
words
,
and
would
not
suffer
the
propounder
to
slip
away
(
as
he
endeavoured
)
but
with
much
intreaty
brought
him
at
length
to
expound
the
full
meaning
and
purpose
of
the
riddle
.
And
this
was
the
first
occasion
(
as
I
thinke
)
whereby
this
secret
came
abroad
.
Albeit
afterwards
at
the
publique
Communions
,
which
were
made
throughout
so
ma-many
Shires
,
the
matter
became
more
common
:
especially
among
the
stranxgers
that
inhabite
(
as
you
know
)
in
great
numbers
with
us
at
this
day
.
All
which
(
as
they
say
)
are
made
most
assured
to
this
faction
,
and
ready
to
assist
the
same
with
great
forces
at
all
occasions
.
Good
Lord
(
quoth
the
Lawyer
)
how
many
misteries
and
secrets
be
there
abroad
in
the
world
,
Philip
Cominus
setteth
downe
in
his
History
of
our
Countries
calamity
,
by
that
contention
of
those
two
Houses
,
distinguished
by
the
Red
Rose
and
the
White
:
but
yet
both
in
their
Armes
might
justly
have
borne
the
colour
of
Red
,
I
will
not
stand
here
to
set
downe
the
particulars
,
observed
&
gathered
by
the
foresaid
author
,
though
a
stranger
,
which
for
the
most
part
he
saw
himselfe
,
while
hee
lived
about
the
Duke
of
Burgundy
,
and
King
Lewes
of
France
,
of
that
time
:
namely
the
pittifull
description
of
divers
right
Noble
men
of
our
Realme
,
who
besides
all
other
miseries
,
Edward
Plantaginet
Earle
of
Warwick
,
Edward
Plantaginet
Earle
of
Warwick
.
Son
and
Heire
to
George
,
Duke
of
Clarence
;
the
contention
most
happily
was
quenched
and
ended
,
wherein
so
many
fields
(
as
I
have
said
)
were
foughten
between
Brethren
and
Inhabitants
of
our
owne
Nation
.
And
therein
,
and
otherwise
onely
about
the
same
quarrel
,
were
sla●●
murdered
,
and
made
away
,
about
nine
or
ten
Kings
,
and
Kings
Sonnes
;
besides
above
forty
Earles
,
Marquesses
,
and
Dukes
of
name
:
but
many
more
Lords
,
Knights
,
and
great
Gentlemen
and
Captaines
:
and
of
the
Common
people
without
number
,
and
by
particular
conjecture
very
neare
two
hundred
thousand
.
And
for
the
Realme
it
is
evident
,
by
that
it
givet●
roome
to
strangers
,
Competitours
of
the
House
o●
Lancaster
:
better
able
to
maintaine
their
owne
titl●
by
sword
,
then
ever
was
any
of
that
linage
before
t●em
.
And
for
her
Majesties
perill
present
,
it
is
nothing
hard
to
conjectur●
:
seeing
the
same
title
in
th●
fore-said
Earle
of
Warwick
,
was
so
dangerous
an●
troublesome
to
her
Grandfather
(
by
whom
she
holdeth
)
as
hee
was
faine
twi●●
to
take
arm●s
in
defence
of
his
right
,
against
the
said
title
,
which
was
in
those
dayes
preferred
and
advanced
by
the
friend●
of
Clarence
,
before
that
of
Henry
:
as
also
this
of
Huntington
is
at
this
day
,
by
his
faction
,
before
that
of
her
Majesty
though
never
so
unjustly

would
answer
him
also
sufficiently
in

,
if
his

I

London

Cambridge

and
other
places
,
most
apparently
against

so
I

these

finde
out

set
out
the

For
as

conjunction
of
the
two
adversary
Houses

in

I
know

of

as
lesse

deale
then

of

(
and
I
for

part
meane
not
greatly
to
avow
the
same
,
as
now
it
is
placed
,
being
my selfe
no
favourer
of
forraine
Titles
:
)
yet
indifferent
men
have
to
consider
how
it
was
taken
in
times
past
,
and
how
it
may
againe
in
time
to
come
,
if
contention
should
arise
:
how
many
Noble
personages
of
our
Realme
did
offer
themselves
to
die
in
defence
thereof
:
It
is
to
bee
considered
also
as
a
speciall
signe
of
the
favour
and
affection
of
our
whole
Nation
unto
that
Family
:
that
Henry
Earle
of
Richmond
,
Grecians
,
Carthaginians
,
and
Romans
:
and
as
in
our
dayes
,
the
Kingdome
of
Naples
hath
beene
to
the
Spaniards
,
French-men
,
Germans
,
and
Venetians
;
That
is
,
a
bait
to
feed
upon
,
and
a
game
to
fight
for
.
Wherefore
,
I
beseech
the
Lord
,
to
avert
from
us
all
occasions
of
such
miseries
.
And
I
pray
you
Sir
,
for
that
wee
are
fallen
into
the
mention
of
these
matters
,
to
take
so
much
paines
as
to
open
unto
me
the
ground
of
these
controversies
,
so
long
now
quiet
betweene
Yorke
and
Lancaster
:
seeing
they
are
now
like
to
bee
raised
againe
.
For
albeit
in
generall
I
have
heard
much
thereof
,
yet
in
particular
,
I
either
conceive
not
,
or
remember
not
the
foundation
of
the
same
:
and
much
lesse
th●
state
of
their
severall
titles
at
this
day
,
for
that
it
is
a
study
not
properly
pertaining
unto
my
profession
.
The
controversie
betweene
the
Houses
of
Yorke
and
Lancaster
(
quoth
the
Lawyer
)
took
his
actuall
beginning
in
the
issue
of
King
Edward
the
third
,
Edmond
Crookeback
,
Edmond
Crook-back
beginner
of
the
House
of
Lancaster
.
great
Grandfather
to
Blanch
his
mother
,
Clarence
,
Iohn
of
Gaunts
elder
Brother
,
tooke
the
same
by
force
from
Henry
the
sixt
,
of
the
House
of
Lancaster
,
and
brought
it
backe
againe
to
the
House
of
Yorke
:
where
it
continued
with
much
trouble
in
two
Kings
onely
,
untill
both
Houses
were
joyned
together
in
King
Henry
the
seventh
,
and
his
noble
issue
.
Hereby
wee
see
how
the
issue
of
Iohn
of
Gaunt
,
Duke
of
Lancaster
,
fourth
Son
to
King
Edward
the
third
,
pretended
right
to
the
Crowne
by
Edmond
Crookebacke
,
before
the
issue
of
all
the
other
three
Sonnes
of
Edward
the
third
,
albeit
they
were
the
elder
Brothers
,
whereof
wee
will
speake
more
hereafter
.
Now
Iohn
of
Gaunt
though
hee
had
many
children
,
Henry
Bolingb●ooke
extinguished
,
by
Edward
the
fourth
of
the
House
of
Yorke
.
The
other
Son
of
Iohn
of
Gaunt
,
was
Iohn
,
Duke
of
Somers●t
,
Katherine
Sfinsford
,
his
third
wife
:
which
Iohn
had
issue
another
Iohn
,
and
he
,
Margaret
his
Daughter
and
Heire
,
who
being
married
to
Edmond
Tyder
,
Earle
of
Richmond
,
had
issue
Henry
Earle
of
Richmond
,
who
after
was
named
King
Henry
the
seventh
,
whose
Line
yet
endureth
.
The
two
Daughters
of
John
of
Gaunt
were
married
to
Portugall
and
Castile
:
that
is
,
Edmond
Crookeback
,
as
hath
beene
said
,
was
married
to
Iohn
King
of
Portugall
,
of
whom
is
descended
the
King
that
now
possesseth
Portugall
,
and
the
other
Princes
which
have
or
may
make
title
to
the
same
:
and
Katherin
borne
of
Constan●e
,
Heire
of
Castile
,
was
married
back
againe
to
Henry
King
of
Castile
in
Spaine
,
of
whom
King
Philip
is
also
descended
.
So
that
by
this
,
wee
see
where
the
remainder
of
the
House
of
Lancaster
resteth
,
if
the
Line
of
King
Henry
the
seventh
were
extinguished
:
and
what
pretext
forraine
Princes
may
have
to
subdue
us
,
if
my
Lord
of
Huntington
either
now
,
King
Edward
the
third
,
Henry
Bolingbrooke
,
Duke
of
Lancaster
,
Son
to
John
of
Gaunt
,
as
hath
beene
said
;
and
so
there
ended
the
Line
of
King
Edwards
first
Sonne
.
King
Edwards
second
Sonne
,
was
William
of
Hatf●●ld
,
that
died
without
issue
.
His
third
Sonne
was
Leonell
Duke
of
Clarence
,
whose
onely
Daughter
and
Heire
called
Ph●●ip
,
was
married
to
Edmond
Mortimer
Earle
o●
Marc●
:
and
after
that
,
Anne●he
●he
Daughter
and
Heire
of
Mortimer
,
was
married
to
Richard
Plantagi●et
Duke
of
Yorke
,
Son
and
Heire
to
Edmond
of
Lang●●y
,
the
first
Duke
of
York●
:
which
Edmond
was
the
fift
Son
of
King
Edward
the
third
,
Edmond
Crookback
,
the
beginner
of
the
House
of
Lancaster
.
This
Edmond
Langley
,
then
having
a
Sonne
named
Richard
,
that
married
Anne
Mortimer
,
sole
Heire
to
Leonell
Duke
of
Clarence
,
joyned
two
Lines
and
two
Titles
in
one
:
I
meane
the
Line
of
Leonell
,
and
of
Edmond
Langley
,
who
were
(
as
hath
bin
said
)
the
third
and
the
fift
Sonnes
to
King
Edward
the
third
.
And
for
this
cause
,
the
childe
that
was
borne
of
this
marriage
,
named
after
his
Father
Richard
Plantaginet
,
Duke
of
Yorke
,
seeing
himselfe
strong
,
and
the
first
Line
of
King
Edward
the
thirds
eldest
Son
to
be
extinguished
in
the
death
of
King
Richard
the
second
:
Elizabeth
,
Cicily
,
Anne
,
Katherine
,
and
Briget
.
Whereof
,
the
first
was
married
to
Henry
the
seventh
.
The
last
became
a
Nunne
,
and
the
other
three
were
bestowed
upon
divers
other
husbands
Hee
had
al●o
two
Brothers
:
Richar●
Poole
,
by
whom
she
had
issue
Cardinall
Poole
,
that
died
without
marriage
;
Henry
Poole
that
was
attainted
and
executed
●n
King
Henry
the
eight
his
time
;
(
as
also
her selfe
was
)
and
this
Henry
Poole
left
a
Daughter
married
afterward
to
the
Earle
of
Huntington
,
by
whom
this
Earle
that
now
is
maketh
title
to
the
Crowne
.
And
this
is
the
effect
of
my
Lord
of
Huntingtons
title
.
The
second
Brother
of
King
Edward
the
fourth
,
was
Richard
Duke
of
G●ocester
,
Now
King
Henry
the
seventh
had
issue
three
Children
:
of
whom
remaineth
posterity
.
Archihald
Douglas
Earle
of
Anguish
:
by
whom
shee
had
a
Daughter
named
Margaret
,
which
was
married
afterward
to
Mathew
Steward
,
Earle
of
Len●x
,
whose
Sonne
Charles
Steward
was
married
to
Elizab●th
Candish
,
Daughter
to
the
present
Countesse
of
Shrewsbury
,
and
by
her
hath
left
his
onely
Heire
,
Charles
Brandon
Duke
of
Suffolke
,
by
whom
she
had
two
Daughters
;
that
is
,
Francis
,
of
which
the
Children
of
my
Lord
of
Hartford
do
make
their
claime
:
and
Elenor
,
by
whom
the
issue
of
the
Earle
of
Darby
pretendeth
right
,
as
shall
be
declared
.
For
that
Francis
the
first
Daughter
of
Charles
Brando4
by
the
Queene
of
France
,
was
married
to
the
Marquesse
of
Dorset
,
who
after
Charles
Brandons
death
,
was
made
Duke
of
Suffolke
in
right
of
his
W●fe
,
Charles
Brandon
,
Duke
of
Suffolke
.
and
was
beheaded
in
Queene
Maries
time
,
for
his
conspiracy
with
my
Lord
of
Leycesters
Father
.
And
she
had
by
this
man
three
Daughters
:
that
is
,
Jane
,
that
was
married
to
my
Lord
of
Leycesters
Brother
,
and
proclaimed
Queene
after
King
Edwards
death
,
The
other
Daughter
of
Cha●l●s
Brandon
by
the
Queene
of
France
called
Elenor
,
Georg●
Cliff●rd
Earle
of
Cumberland
,
who
left
a
Daughter
by
her
named
Ma●g●re●
,
married
to
the
Earle
of
Darby
,
which
yet
liveth
,
and
hath
issue
.
And
this
is
the
title
of
the
H●use
of
Suffolke
,
descended
from
the
second
Daughter
of
K.
Henry
the
seventh
,
married
(
as
hath
been
shewed
)
to
Charles
Brandon
Duke
of
Suffolke
.
And
by
this
,
you
may
see
also
how
many
there
be
,
who
do
thinke
their
titles
to
be
far
before
that
of
my
Lord
of
Huntington●
,
if
either
r●ght
,
l●w
,
reason
,
or
co●sideration
of
home
affaires
may
take
place
in
our
Realm
:
or
if
not
,
yet
you
cannot
but
imagine
how
many
great
Princes
and
Potentat●s
abroad
,
are
like
to
joyne
and
buckle
with
Hunting●ons
Line
for
the
preeminence
:
●f
once
the
matter
fall
againe
to
contention
by
excluding
the
Line
of
King
Henry
the
seventh
,
which
God
forbid
.
Truly
Sir
(
quoth
I
)
I
well
perceive
that
my
Lords
turne
is
not
so
nigh
as
I
had
thought
,
They
want
not
pretences
of
barres
and
lets
against
them
all
(
quoth
the
Gentleman
)
which
I
will
l●y
downe
in
order
,
Against
the
second
marriage
of
Ma●g●ret
with
A●chibald
Douglas
wh●●eof
A●bella
is
descended
,
The
same
barre
they
have
against
all
the
house
and
Line
of
Suffolke
,
for
first
they
say
,
that
Charl●s
B●andon
Duke
of
Suffolke
,
had
a
knowen
wife
alive
w●en
he
married
Mary
Queen
of
France
,
and
consequently
,
that
neither
the
Lady
Frances
nor
Elenor
,
borne
of
that
marriage
,
can
be
lawfully
borne
.
And
this
is
all
,
I
can
hea●e
them
say
against
the
succession
of
the
Coun●esse
of
Darby
descended
of
Elenor.
It
is
much
(
quoth
I
)
that
you
have
said
,
if
it
may
be
all
proved
.
Whereto
answe●ed
the
Gentleman
,
To
this
answered
the
Lawyer
,
I
will
gl●dly
,
And
albeit
now
the
commo●
Law
of
our
Country
do
runne
thus
in
generall
,
First
,
As
for
example
,
In
like
manner
,
it
is
a
generall
and
common
rule
,
that
if
a
man
dye
feased
of
Land
in
Fee-simple
,
having
daughters
and
no
sonne
,
his
lands
shall
be
divided
by
equall
portions
among
his
daughters
,
Their
second
reason
is
,
for
that
the
demand
o●
title
of
a
Crowne
cannot
in
true
sense
bee
comprehended
under
the
words
of
the
former
statute
,
Whi●h
thing
maketh
an
evident
difference
in
our
case
,
from
the
meaning
of
the
former
statute
:
for
that
a
Prior
,
Deane
,
or
Parson
,
being
Aliens
and
no
Denizens
,
might
alwayes
in
time
of
peace
demand
lands
in
England
,
in
respect
of
their
corporations
,
notwithstanding
the
said
statute
or
common
law
against
Aliens
,
as
appeareth
by
many
booke
cases
yet
extant
:
as
also
by
the
statute
made
in
the
time
of
King
Richard
the
second
,
which
was
after
the
foresaid
statute
of
King
Edward
the
third
.
The
third
reason
is
,
Infantes
du
Roy
,
that
is
,
the
Kings
off
spring
or
issue
,
as
the
word
Infant
doth
signifie
,
both
in
France
,
Portugall
,
Spaine
,
and
other
Countries
:
and
as
the
Latine
word
Liberi
(
which
answereth
the
same
)
is
taken
commonly
in
the
civill
〈◊〉
.
Neither
may
we
restraine
the
french
words
of
that
Satute
Infant●s
du
Roy
,
Their
fourth
reason
is
,
that
the
meaning
of
king
Edward
and
his
children
(
living
at
such
time
as
this
statute
was
made
)
could
not
be
,
The
fift
reason
is
,
E●gar
Etheling
borne
in
Hungarie
,
and
thence
called
home
to
inherit
the
Crowne
,
by
his
great
unckle
king
Edward
the
Conf●ssor
,
And
since
the
Conquest
,
it
appeareth
plainly
in
king
Stephen
and
king
Henry
the
second
,
both
of
them
borne
out
of
English
dominions
,
and
of
Parents
,
that
at
their
birth
,
were
not
of
the
English
allegiance
;
and
yet
were
they
both
admitted
to
the
Crowne
.
Yong
Arthur
also
Duke
of
Britain
by
his
mother
Constance
that
matched
with
Geffray
king
Henry
the
seconds
sonne
,
was
declared
by
king
Richard
his
unckle
,
Their
sixt
,
is
of
the
judgement
and
sentence
of
King
Henry
the
seventh
,
And
these
are
six
of
their
principallest
reasons
to
prove
,
that
neither
by
the
words
nor
meaning
of
our
common
lawes
,
nor
yet
by
custome
or
practice
of
our
Realme
,
an
Alien
may
bee
debarred
f●om
claim
of
his
interest
to
the
Crowne
,
when
it
falleth
to
him
by
righfull
descent
in
blood
and
succ●ssion
.
of
those
that
are
borne
beyond
the
seas
.
And
in
the
body
of
the
said
statute
,
the
doubt
is
moved
of
children
borne
out
of
English
allegiance
beyond
the
seas
:
whereby
cannot
bee
understood
Scotland
,
for
that
it
is
a
piece
of
the
continent
land
within
the
seas
.
And
all
our
old
Records
in
England
,
that
talke
of
service
to
bee
done
within
these
two
countries
,
have
usually
these
Latin
words
,
Infraquatuor
m●ria
,
or
in
French
deins
l●zqu●tre
mers
,
that
is
,
within
the
foure
Seas
:
whereby
must
needs
be
understood
as
well
S●otland
as
England
,
and
that
perhaps
for
the
reason
before
mentioned
,
of
the
subjection
of
Scotland
by
way
of
Homage
to
the
Crowne
of
England
.
In
respect
whereof
it
may
be
,
that
it
was
accounted
of
old
but
one
dominion
or
allegiance
.
And
consequently
,
no
man
borne
therein
can
bee
accounted
an
alie●
to
Engla●●
.
And
this
shal
suffice
for
the
first
point
,
touching
foragine
Nativity
.
For
the
second
impediment
objected
,
wh●ch
is
the
testament
of
King
Henry
the
eight
,
It
may
be
(
qu●th
the
Gentleman
)
nor
will
I
stand
obstinatly
in
the
contrary
;
The
cause
of
this
is
●vident
(
quoth
the
Lawyer
)
for
that
it
made
not
s●ffi●iently
for
his
purpose
:
A
notable
change
(
quo●h
the
G●ntleman
)
that
a
title
so
much
exalted
of
late
by
the
Father
,
The
King●
Testament
forged
.
and
consequently
not
thought
to
proceed
from
so
wise
and
sage
a
Prince
as
K.
Henrie
was
knowne
to
be
:
but
rather
,
either
the
whole
forged
,
or
at
least
wise
that
clause
inserted
by
other
,
and
the
Kings
stamp
set
unto
it
,
after
his
death
,
or
when
his
Majesty
lay
now
past
understanding
.
And
hereof
there
wanteth
not
divers
most
evident
reasons
and
proofes
.
For
first
,
it
is
not
prob●ble
nor
credible
,
that
King
Henrie
would
ever
go
about
,
The
first
reason
.
against
law
and
reason
,
to
disinherit
the
line
of
his
eldest
sister
,
without
any
profit
or
interest
to
himselfe
:
and
thereby
,
give
most
evident
occasion
of
Civill
war
and
discord
within
the
Realm
,
seeing
,
Injustice
and
improprobabilit●
that
in
such
a
case
of
manifest
and
apparent
wrong
,
in
so
great
a
m●tter
,
the
authoritie
of
Pa●lament
,
taketh
little
effect
,
against
the
true
and
lawfull
inherit●r
:
as
well
appeared
in
the
former
times
and
contentions
of
Henrie
the
sixth
,
Edward
the
fourth
,
and
Richard
the
third
:
in
whose
reignes
,
the
divers
and
contrarie
Parliaments
made
and
holden
,
●gainst
the
ne●t
inheritor
,
held
no
longer
with
any
man
,
then
untill
the
other
was
able
to
make
his
owne
partie
good
.
So
likewise
,
The
example
of
France
.
in
the
case
of
King
Edward
the
third
his
succession
to
F●ance
,
in
the
right
of
his
mother
,
though
he
were
exclud●d
by
the
generall
assembly
and
consent
of
their
Parliaments
;
yet
he
esteemed
not
his
right
extinguished
thereby
:
as
neither
did
other
Kings
of
our
Countrie
that
ensued
after
him
.
And
for
our
present
case
,
if
nothing
else
should
have
restrained
King
Henrie
,
from
such
open
injustice
towards
his
eldest
sister
:
yet
this
cogitation
,
at
least
,
would
have
stayed
him
:
that
by
giving
example
of
supplanting
his
elder
sisters
Line
,
by
vertue
of
a
testament
or
pretence
of
Parliament
;
some
other
might
take
occasion
to
displace
his
children
by
like
pretence
:
as
we
see
that
Duke
Dudley
did
soone
after
by
a
forged
testament
of
King
Edward
the
sixt
.
So
ready
Schollars
there
are
to
be
found
,
which
easily
will
learne
such
lessons
of
iniquity
.
Secondly
,
there
be
too
many
incongruities
and
indignities
in
the
said
pretended
Will
to
proceed
from
such
a
Prince
and
learned
councell
as
King
Henries
was
.
The
second
reason
.
Incongruities
and
indignities
.
For
first
,
what
can
be
more
ridiculous
,
than
to
give
the
Crowne
to
the
heires
of
Francis
and
Elenor
,
and
not
to
any
of
themselves
?
or
what
had
they
offended
that
their
heires
should
enjoy
the
Crowne
in
their
right
,
and
not
they
themselves
?
What
if
King
Henries
Children
should
have
dyed
,
whiles
Lady
Francis
had
been
yet
alive
?
who
should
have
possessed
the
Kingdome
before
her
,
seeing
her
Line
was
next
?
and
yet
by
this
testament
shee
could
not
pretend
her selfe
to
obtaine
it
.
But
rather
having
marryed
Adrian
Stokes
her
horse-keeper
,
Thirdly
,
there
may
bee
divers
causes
and
arguments
alledged
in
law
,
why
this
pretended
will
is
not
authenticall
:
if
otherwise
,
The
third
reason
.
The
presupposed
Will
is
not
authenticall
.
it
were
certaine
that
King
Henrie
had
meant
it
:
first
,
for
that
it
is
not
agreeable
to
the
mind
and
meaning
of
the
Parliament
,
which
intended
onely
to
give
authoritie
for
declaration
and
explication
of
the
true
title
:
and
not
for
donation
,
or
intricating
of
the
same
,
to
the
ruine
of
the
Re●lme
.
Secondly
,
for
that
there
is
no
lawfull
and
authenticall
Copie
extant
thereof
,
but
onely
a
bare
inrolement
in
the
Chancerie
,
which
is
not
sufficient
in
so
weighty
an
affaire
:
no
witnesse
of
the
privie
Councell
or
of
Nobilit●e
to
the
same
:
which
had
been
convenient
in
so
great
a
case
(
for
the
best
of
the
witnesses
therein
named
,
is
Sir
Iohn
Gates
,
whose
miserable
death
is
well
knowne
:
)
no
publike
Notary
,
no
probation
of
the
will
before
any
Bishop
,
or
any
lawfull
Court
for
that
pu●pose
:
no
examination
of
the
witness●s
;
or
other
thing
orderly
done
,
for
lawfull
authorizing
of
the
matter
.
But
of
all
other
things
this
is
most
of
importance
:
that
the
King
never
set
his
owne
hand
to
the
foresaid
Will
,
The
disproving
of
the
Wil
by
witnesses
.
The
Lo●d
Paget
.
but
his
stampe
was
put
thereunto
by
others
,
either
after
his
death
,
or
when
he
was
past
remembrance
:
as
the
late
Lord
Paget
in
the
beginning
of
Queen
Maries
dayes
,
being
of
the
Privie
Councell
,
fi●st
of
all
other
discovered
the
same
of
his
owne
accord
,
and
upon
meere
motion
of
conscience
,
confessing
before
the
whole
Councell
,
and
afterward
also
before
the
whole
Parlament
,
how
that
himselfe
was
privy
thereunto
,
and
partly
also
culpable
,
(
being
drawn
therunto
,
by
the
instigation
and
forcible
authority
of
others
:
)
but
yet
afterward
upon
other
more
godly
motions
detested
the
device
:
and
so
of
his
owne
free-will
,
very
honourably
went
and
offered
the
discoverie
thereof
to
the
Councell
.
E●ward
Montague
,
Lord
chiefe
Iustice
that
had
been
p●ivy
and
present
at
the
said
doings
,
and
one
William
Clarke
,
And
sithence
that
time
in
her
Majesties
dayes
that
now
liveth
,
about
the
11.
or
12.
yeare
of
her
reigne
,
(
if
I
count
not
amiste
)
by
occasion
of
a
c●rtaine
little
booke
spread
abroad
at
that
time
v●ry
s●cretly
,
for
advancing
of
the
house
of
Suffolke
,
by
pretence
of
this
Testament
:
A
meeting
together
about
this
matter
of
the
Nobility
.
I
remember
well
the
place
where
the
late
Duke
of
Norfolke
,
the
Marqu●sse
of
Winchester
(
which
then
was
Treasu●er
)
the
old
Ea●les
of
Arundell
and
Penbroo●e
that
now
are
dead
,
with
my
Lord
of
Penbrook
that
yet
liveth
,
(
as
also
my
Lord
of
Leycester
hims●lfe
,
if
I
bee
not
deceived
)
with
divert
others
,
met
together
upon
this
matter
:
and
after
long
conference
about
the
foresaid
pretensed
will
,
and
many
proofes
and
reasons
laid
downe
,
why
it
could
not
be
t●ue
or
authenticall
:
the
old
Earle
of
Penbrook
protesting
that
he
was
with
the
King
in
his
chamber
from
the
first
day
of
his
sicknesse
unto
his
last
houre
,
and
thereby
could
well
assure
the
falsification
thereof
:
at
length
it
was
moved
,
that
from
that
place
they
should
goe
,
with
the
rest
of
the
Nobility
,
and
procl●ime
the
Queen
of
Scotland
he●re
apparent
in
Cheap-side
.
M●
Lord
of
L●●●est
.
againe
pl●y●●
double
.
Wherein
my
Lord
of
Leycester
(
a●
I
take
it
was
then
as
forward
as
any
man
else
:
how
bee
it
,
now
for
his
profit
,
he
be
turned
aside
,
and
would
turne
back
again
to
morrow
next
for
a
greater
commodity
.
And
albeit
,
for
some
causes
to
themselves
best
known
,
they
proceeded
not
in
the
open
publishing
of
their
determination
at
that
time
:
yet
my
Lord
of
Penbrook
now
living
can
beare
witnesse
that
thus
much
is
true
:
and
that
his
father
,
the
old
Earle
,
The
old
Earle
of
Penbrooks
admonition
to
the
Earl
his
son
,
yet
living
.
at
that
time
told
him
openly
before
the
other
Noblemen
,
that
he
had
brought
him
to
that
assembly
and
place
to
instruct
him
in
that
truth
,
ând
to
charge
him
to
witnesse
the
same
,
and
to
defend
it
also
with
his
sword
(
if
need
required
)
after
his
death
.
And
I
know
that
his
Lordship
is
of
that
honour
and
Nobility
,
as
he
cannot
leave
off
easily
the
remembrance
or
due
regard
of
so
worthy
an
admonition
.
And
this
shall
suffice
for
t●e
second
●mp●diment
,
imagin●d
to
proceed
of
this
supposed
Testament
of
King
Henrie
the
eighth
.
As
for
the
third
impediment
,
of
religion
,
The
thi●d
impediment
of
religion
.
it
is
not
generall
to
all
:
for
that
only
one
person
(
if
I
be
not
deceived
)
of
all
the
Competitors
in
K.
Henries
Line
can
bee
touched
●ith
suspition
of
different
Religion
,
from
the
present
state
of
England
.
Which
person
notwithstanding
(
as
is
well
knowne
)
while
shee
was
in
gove●nment
in
her
owne
Realme
of
Scotland
,
permitted
all
l●berty
of
Conscience
,
and
free
exercise
of
Religion
to
those
of
the
contrary
prof●ssion
and
opinion
,
without
restraint
.
And
if
she
had
not
,
yet
doe
I
not
see
,
either
by
prescript
of
law
,
or
practice
of
these
our
times
,
that
diversity
of
Religion
may
stay
just
Inheritors
from
enjoying
their
due
possessions
,
in
any
state
or
degree
of
private
men
:
and
much
lesse
in
the
claime
of
a
Kingdome
:
which
alwayes
in
this
behalfe
as
hath
been
said
before
)
is
preferred
in
priviledge
.
This
we
see
by
experience
,
in
divers
Countries
and
parts
of
the
world
at
this
day
:
Princes
of
Germany
.
as
in
Germany
,
where
among
so
many
Princes
,
and
so
divided
in
religion
as
they
be
:
yet
every
one
succeedeth
to
the
state
whereto
he
hath
right
,
without
resistance
for
his
religion
.
The
ex●mples
also
of
her
Majesty
that
now
is
,
and
of
her
sister
before
,
is
evident
,
who
being
known
to
be
of
two
different
inclinations
in
religion

tr●i●ors

right

the

notwithstanding
his

to

And
I
doubt
not

but
th●
King
of

or
Prince

,
King

Prince
of
Condy.
in
the
contrary
part
would
thinke
themselves
gre●tly
injured
by
the
st●te
of

,
which
is
d●fferent
from
them
in

at
this
d●y
,
if
after
the
death
of
th●
Ki●g
that
now
is
,
and
his
brother
without

,
(
if
God
so
dispose
)
they
should
be
barred
from
inheriting
the
Crowne
,
under
pretence
onely
of
thei●
Religion
.
My
Lord
of
Huntington
himselfe
also
,
is
he
not
knowne
to
b●e
of
a
different
religion
from
th●
present
state
of
Engl●nd
?
My
Lord
of

re●igion
.
and
rh●t
,
if
he

he
would

government
,
order
,
condi●ion
,
and
state
of
r●ligion
,
now
used
and
established
within
the
Realme
?
But
as
I
said
in
the
beginning
,
if
one
of
a
whole
family
,
or
of
divers
families
be
culpable
,
The
title
of
those
that
ensue
the
Queene
of
Scots
.
or
to
be
touched
herein
;
what
have
the
rest
offended
thereby
?
will
you
exclude
all
,
for
the
mislike
of
one
?
And
to
descend
in
order
;
if
the
first
in
K.
Henries
line
,
after
her
Majesty
may
be
touched
in
this
point
,
yet
why
should
the
rest
be
damnified
thereby
?
The
K
of
Scotland
her
son
,
that
next
ensueth
(
to
speak
in
equity
)
why
should
he
bee
shut
out
for
his
religion
?
And
are
not
all
the
other
in
like
manner
Protestants
,
whose
discent
i●
consequent
by
nature
,
order
,
and
degree
.
For
the
yong
K.
of
Scotland
(
quoth
I
)
the
truth
is
,
that
alwayes
for
mine
own
part
,
The
yong
King
of
Scotland
I
have
had
great
hope
and
expectation
of
him
,
not
onely
for
the
conceipt
which
commonly
men
have
of
such
Orient
youths
,
borne
to
kingdomes
;
but
especially
for
that
I
understood
from
time
to
time
,
that
his
education
was
in
all
learning
,
princely
exercises
,
and
instruction
of
true
religion
,
under
rare
and
vertuous
men
for
that
purpose
.
Whereby
I
conceived
hope
,
that
he
might
not
onely
become
in
time
an
honourable
and
profitable
neighbour
unto
us
,
for
assurance
of
the
Gospell
in
these
parts
of
the
world
;
but
also
(
if
God
should
deprive
us
of
her
Maiesty
without
issue
)
▪
might
be
a
meane
by
his
succession
to
unite
in
Concord
and
Government
the
two
Realmes
together
,
which
heretofore
hath
beene
sought
by
the
price
of
mary
a
thousand
mens
bloud
,
and
not
obtained
.
Marry
yet
now
of
late
(
I
know
not
by
what
means
)
there
〈◊〉
●egun
in
mens
hearts
a
certaine
mislike
or
grudge
against
him
,
for
that
it
is
given
out
every
where
that
he
is
inclined
to
be
a
Papist
,
and
an
enemy
to
her
Majesties
proceedings
,
which
argueth
him
verily
of
singular
ingratitude
if
it
be
true
,
considering
the
great
helpes
and
p●otection
which
he
hath
received
from
her
Highnes
ever
sithens
he
was
borne
.
The
device
to
set
out
her
Majesty
with
the
young
King
of
Scotland
.
if
hee
had
not
first
perswaded
K.
Edward
the
fourth
,
to
hate
his
owne
brother
the
Duke
of
Clarence
,
which
Duke
stood
in
the
w●y
between
Richard
and
the
thing
,
which
he
most
of
all
things
coveted
:
that
is
,
the
possibilitie
to
the
Crowne
,
and
so
in
this
case
is
there
the
like
device
to
be
observed
.
Fo●
truly
,
for
the
yong
King
of
Scotlands
religion
,
it
is
evident
to
as
many
as
have
reason
,
that
it
can
bee
no
other
of
it selfe
but
inclined
to
the
best
;
both
in
respect
of
his
education
,
instruction
,
and
conversation
wi●h
those
of
true
religion
:
as
also
by
his
former
actions
,
Edicts
,
Government
,
and
private
behaviour
he
hath
declared
.
Marrie
these
men
whose
profit
is
nothing
lesse
,
than
tha●
he
or
any
other
of
that
race
should
doe
well
:
doe
not
cease
dayly
by
all
secret
wayes
,
drifts
,
and
molestations
possible
,
to
drive
him
either
to
mislike
of
our
religion
,
or
else
to
incurre
the
suspition
thereof
,
with
such
of
our
Realme
,
as
otherwise
would
be
his
best
friends
:
or
if
not
this
,
yet
for
very
need
and
feare
of
his
owne
life
,
to
make
recourse
to
such
other
Princes
abroad
,
as
may
most
offend
or
misl●ke
this
st●te
.
And
for
this
cause
,
they
suborne
certaine
busie
fellowes
of
their
owne
crew
and
faction
,
pertaining
to
the
ministerie
of
Scotland
,
The
intolerable
pr●ceedings

in

a●ainst

●
subornation
of
his
enemies
in

.
(
but
unworthy
of
so
worthy
a
calling
)
to
use
such
insolencie
towards
their
King
and
Prince
,
as
is
not
onely
undecent
,
but
intolerable
.
For
he
may
doe
nothing
,
but
they
will
examine
and
discusse
the
same
in
Pulpit
.
If
hee
goe
but
on
hunting
,
when
it
pleaseth
them
to
call
him
to
their
preaching
:
if
he
make
but
a
dinner
or
supper
,
when
,
or
where
,
or
with
whom
they
like
not
:
if
he
receive
but
a
couple
of
horses
,
or
other
present
from
his
fri●nds
or
kinsemen
beyond
the
seas
:
if
hee
salute
or
use
courteously
any
man
,
or
messenger
which
commeth
from
them
(
as
you
know
Princes
of
their
nob●lity
and
courtesie
are
accust●med
,
though
they
come
from
●heir
enemies
,
as
very
often
hath
beene
seene
,
and
highly
commended
in
her
Majestie
of
England
:
)
If
h●e
deale
famil●a●ly
with
any
Ambass●dor
which
liketh
not
them
:
or
finally
,
if
hee
doe
say
or
signifie
any
one
thing
whatsoever
that
pleaseth
not
their
humour
,
they
wil
presently
as
seditious
Tribunes
of
the
people
,
exclaime
in
publicke
;
and
stepping
to
the
Pulpit
where
the
Word
of
the
Lord
onely
ought
to
be
preached
,
will
excite
the
Communalty
to
discontentation
,
inveying
against
their
Soveraigne
with
such
bitternes
of
speech
,
unreverend
tearmes
,
and
insolent
controlements
,
as
is
not
to
be
spoken
:
Now
imagine
what
her
Majesty
and
her
grave
councell
would
do
in
England
,
if
such
proceedings
should
be
used
by
the
Clergy
against
them
.
No
doubt
(
quoth
I
)
but
that
such
unquiet
spirits
should
be
punished
in
our
Realme
.
Archbish.
of
St.
Andrewes
.
worthy
Prelate
and
Primate
the
Arch-bishop
of
St.
Andrews
,
with
whom
it
was
my
luck
to
come
acquainted
in
London
,
whither
he
was
come
by
his
Kings
appointment
(
as
he
said
)
to
treat
certain
affairs
with
our
Q.
and
Councell
.
And
talking
with
him
of
this
disorder
of
his
ministerie
,
he
confessed
the
same
with
much
griefe
of
mind
,
and
told
me
,
that
●e
had
preached
thereof
before
the
K.
himselfe
,
detesting
and
accusing
divers
heads
therof
,
for
which
cause
he
was
become
very
odious
to
them
and
other
of
their
faction
,
both
in
Scotland
and
England
.
But
he
said
,
that
as
he
had
given
the
reasons
of
his
doings
unto
our
Qu.
so
meaneth
he
shortly
to
do
the
same
unto
Monsieur
Beza
,
and
to
the
whole
Church
of
Geneva
,
by
sending
thither
the
Articles
of
his
and
their
do●ngs
,
prote●●ing
unto
me
that
the
proceedings
and
attempts
of
those
factious
and
corrupt
men
was
most
scandalous
,
seditious
and
perilous
both
to
the
K.
person
,
and
to
the
realm
;
being
sufficien●
indeed
,
to
alienate
wholy
the
yong
Prince
from
all
affection
to
our
religion
,
when
he
shall
see
the
chiefe
Professors
thereof
to
behave
themselves
so
undutifully
towards
him
.
Treasons
plotted
against
the
King
of
Scots
.
That
is
the
thing
which
these
men
,
his
competitors
,
most
d●sire
(
quoth
the
Gentleman
)
hoping
thereby
to
procure
him
most
evill
will
and
danger
,
both
at
home
and
from
England
.
For
which
cause
also
,
they
have
practised
so
many
plots
and
treacheries
with
his
owne
subjects
against
him
;
hoping
by
that
meanes
to
bring
the
one
in
distrust
and
hatred
of
the
other
,
and
consequently
the
K.
in
danger
of
destruction
by
his
own
.
And
in
this
machination
,
they
have
behaved
themselves
so
dexterously
,
so
covertly
used
the
mannage
and
contriving
hereof
,
and
so
cunningly
conveyed
the
execution
of
many
things
:
as
i●
might
,
indeed
,
seem
apparent
to
the
yong
K.
that
the
whole
plot
of
treasons
against
his
Realme
,
and
Person
,
doth
come
from
England
,
thereby
to
drive
him
into
jealousie
of
our
state
,
and
our
state
of
him
:
and
all
this
for
their
owne
profit
.
Neither
is
this
any
new
device
of
my
Lord
of
Leicest
to
draw
men
for
his
own
gain
into
danger
and
hatred
with
the
state
,
under
other
pretences
.
For
I
could
tell
you
divers
stories
and
stratagems
of
his
cunning
in
this
kind
,
and
the
one
farre
different
from
the
other
in
device
:
but
yet
all
to
one
end
.
I
have
a
friend
yet
living
,
that
was
towards
the
old
Earle
of
Arundel
in
good
credit
,
and
by
that
means
had
occasion
to
deal
with
the
late
Duke
of
Norfolk
in
his
chiefest
affaires
before
his
troubles
.
This
man
is
wont
to
report
strange
things
from
the
Dukes
owne
mouth
,
of
my
L.
of
Leicesters
most
treacherous
dealing
towards
him
,
for
gaining
of
his
bloud
,
as
after
appeared
,
cunning
device
for
overthrowing
the
D.
of
Norf.
albeit
the
Duke
when
he
rep●rted
the
same
,
mistrusted
not
so
much
my
Lords
malice
therein
.
But
the
sum
of
all
,
is
this
in
effect
:
that
Leicester
having
a
secret
desire
to
pull
down
the
said
Duke
,
to
the
end
that
he
might
have
no
man
above
himselfe
,
to
hinde●
him
in
that
which
he
most
desireth
;
by
a
thousand
cunning
devices
drew
in
the
Duke
to
the
cogitation
of
that
marriage
with
the
Queen
of
Scotland
,
which
afterward
was
the
cause
or
occasion
of
his
ruine
.
And
hee
behaved
himselfe
so
dexterously
in
this
drift
,
by
setting
on
the
Duke
●n
the
one
side
,
and
also
by
intrapping
him
on
the
other
:
The
impudency
of
Iudas
.
as
Iudas
himselfe
never
plaid
his
part
more
cunningly
when
hee
supped
with
his
Master
,
and
set
himself
so
neer
,
as
he
dipt
his
spoon
in
the
same
dish
,
&
durst
before
others
,
aske
who
should
betray
him
?
meaning
that
night
to
doe
it
himselfe
,
as
he
shewed
soon
after
supper
,
when
he
came
as
a
Captaine
with
a
band
of
Conspir●tors
,
and
with
a
courteous
kiss●
delivered
his
person
into
the
hands
of
them
,
whom
hee
well
knew
to
thirst
after
his
bloud
.
The
very
like
did
the
Earle
of
Leycester
with
the
Duke
of
No●fo●k
for
the
a●t
of
treason
,
though
in
the
parties
b●tr●yed
there
were
great
difference
of
innocency
.
N●mely
,
at
one
time
,
when
her
M●jesty
was
at
Basing
in
Hampshire
,
and
the
Duke
attended
there
to
have
audience
,
with
gre●t
indiff●●ency
in
himselfe
to
follow
,
or
leave
off
his
suit
for
marriage
:
(
for
that
now
he
began
to
suspect
,
her
Majesty
liked
not
greatly
thereof
:
)
my
Lord
of
Leycester
came
to
him
and
counselled
him
in
any
case
to
persevere
,
and
not
to
relent
,
T●e
speeches
of
Leycester
●o
the
Duke
of
Norf.
assuring
him
with
many
oathes
and
pro●est●tions
,
that
her
M●jesty
must
and
should
be
brought
to
allow
thereof
,
whether
she
would
or
no
,
and
that
him●●l●e
would
se●le
th●t
purpose
with
his
blood
N●i●her
w●s
u●to
be
suffered
that
her
Maiesty
should
have
her
will
herein
;
with
many
other
like
speeches
to
this
purpose
:
which
the
Duke
repea●ed
againe
then
presently
to
my
said
friend
:
with
often
laying
his
hand
upon
his
bosome
and
saying
;
I
have
here
which
●ss●reth
me
sufficiently
of
t●e
fidelity
of
my
Lord
of
Leycester
;
cousen●ge
of
t●e
Queene
.
meaning
not
onely
the
foresaid
speeches
,
bu●
also
divers
lette●s
which
he
had
written
to
the
Duke
of
that
eff●ct
,
as
likewise
he
had
done
to
some
other
person
of
more
importance
in
the
Realme
;
which
matter
comming
afterward
to
〈◊〉
,
he
cousened
most
notably
h●r
Majesty
,
by
shewing
her
a
reformed
copie
of
the
said
Letter
,
for
the
Letter
it selfe
.
But
now
how
well
he
perform●d
his
promise
,
in
deali●g
with
her
Majesty
for
the
Duke
or
against
the
Duke
in
this
matter
,
her
Highnesse
can
best
tell
,
and
the
event
it selfe
shewed
.
For
the
Duke
being
admitted
soon
after
to
her
Majesties
speech
at
another
place
,
and
receiving
a
farre
other
answer
than
he
had
in
hop●
conceived
upon
Leycesters
promises
,
retyred
himselfe
to
London
,
The
Duke
of
Norf.
flying
into
Norfolke
where
the
same
night
following
hee
received
Letters
both
from
Leycester
,
and
Sir
Nicholas
Thregmorton
,
upon
Leycesters
instigation
(
for
they
w●re
at
that
time
both
friends
and
of
a
f●ction
)
that
he
should
presently
flye
into
Norfolk
,
●s
he
did
,
which
was
the
last
and
finall
complement
of
all
L●ycest
.
former
devices
,
whereby
to
pl●nge
his
friend
over
the
eares
in
su●pi●ion
and
disgrace
,
in
such
sort
as
he
should
never
be
able
to
d●●w
himselfe
out
of
the
ditch
againe
,
as
indeed
he
was
not
,
but
dyed
in
the
same
.
And
herein
you
see
also
the
same
subtile
and
Machivilian
slight
,
which
I
mentioned
b●fore
,
Machivilian
slights
of
driving
men
to
attempt
somewhat
,
whereby
they
may
incurre
danger
,
or
remaine
in
perpetuall
suspition
or
disgrace
.
And
this
practice
h●
hath
long
used
,
and
doth
dayly
,
against
such
as
he
hath
will
to
destroy
.
As
for
example
,
what
say
you
to
the
device
he
had
of
late
,
to
intrap
his
well
deserving
friend
,
Sir
Christopher
Hatton
,
devices
for
the
overthrow
of
Sir
Christopher
Hatton
.
in
the
matter
of
Hall
his
Priest
,
whom
hee
would
have
had
Sir
Christopher
to
send
away
and
hide
,
being
touched
and
detected
in
the
case
of
Ardent
,
thereby
to
have
drawne
in
Sir
Christopher
himselfe
,
as
Sir
Charles
Candish
can
well
declare
,
if
it
please
him
,
being
accessary
to
this
plot
,
for
the
overthrow
of
Sir
Christopher
:
To
which
intent
,
and
most
devilish
drift
,
pertained
(
I
doubt
not
)
if
the
matter
were
duely
examined
,
the
late
interception
of
letters
in
Paris
from
one
Aldred
of
Lyons
,
then
in
Rome
,
to
Henr.
Vmpton
,
servant
to
Sir
Christopher
,
in
which
letters
,
Sir
Christopher
is
reported
to
be
of
such
credit
and
speciall
favour
in
Rome
,
as
if
he
were
the
greatest
Papist
in
England
.
What
meaneth
also
these
pernitious
late
dealings
against
the
Earle
of
Shrewsburie
,
devices
against
the
Earle
of
Shrewsbury
.
a
man
of
the
most
ancient
and
worthiest
Nobilitie
of
our
Realm
?
what
meane
the
practises
with
his
nearest
both
in
bed
and
bloud
against
him
?
what
meane
those
most
false
and
slanderous
rumours
cast
abroad
of
late
of
his
disloyall
demeanours
towards
her
Maiesty
and
his
countrey
,
with
the
great
prisoner
committed
to
his
charge
?
is
all
this
to
any
other
end
,
but
onely
to
drive
him
to
some
impatience
,
and
thereby
to
commit
or
say
something
which
may
open
the
gate
unto
his
ruine
?
Divers
other
things
could
I
recite
of
his
behaviour
towards
other
noble
men
of
the
Realm
,
who
live
abroad
in
their
countries
much
injured
and
malecontented
by
his
insolency
:
cont●mpt
of
the
ancient
Nobility
of
England
.
albeit
in
respect
of
his
present
power
they
dare
not
complaine
.
And
surely
,
it
is
strange
to
see
how
little
account
he
maketh
of
all
the
ancient
nobilitie
of
our
Realme
:
how
he
contemneth
,
derideth
and
debaseth
them
;
which
is
the
fashion
of
all
such
as
mean
to
usu●p
,
to
the
end
they
may
have
none
who
shall
not
acknowledge
their
first
beginning
and
advancement
from
themselves
.
Not
only
usurpers
(
quoth
the
Lawyer
)
but
all
others
who
rise
and
mount
aloft
from
base
lynage
,
contemptuous
,
contumultuous
,
and
insolent
against
others
of
more
antiquity
And
this
was
evident
in
this
mans
father
,
who
being
a
Buck
of
the
first
head
(
as
you
know
)
was
intollerable
in
contempt
of
others
:
New
men
most
contemptuous
.
as
appeareth
by
those
whom
hee
trod
downe
of
the
Nobilitie
in
his
time
:
as
also
by
his
ordinarie
jests
against
the
Duke
of
Somerset
and
others
.
But
among
other
times
,
sitting
one
day
at
his
owne
table
(
as
a
Counsellor
told
mee
that
was
present
)
he
took
occasion
to
talke
of
the
Earl
of
Arundel
,
jest
at
the
Earle
of
Arundell
.
whom
he
had
then
not
onely
removed
from
the
Counsell
,
but
also
put
into
the
Tower
of
London
,
being
(
as
is
wel
known
)
the
first
and
chiefest
Earle
of
the
Realme
.
And
for
that
the
said
Earle
shewed
himselfe
somewhat
sad
and
afflicted
with
his
present
state
(
as
I
marvel
not
,
seing
himself
in
prison
,
and
within
the
compasse
of
so
fierce
a
Beares
paws
)
it
pleased
this
goodly
Duke
to
vaunt
upon
this
Earles
misery
,
at
his
owne
Table
(
as
I
have
said
)
and
asked
the
noble
men
and
gentlemen
there
present
,
what
Crest
or
Cognizance
my
L.
of
Arundel
did
give
?
and
when
every
one
answered
,
that
hee
gave
the
white
horse
:
I
thought
so
(
quoth
the
Duke
)
and
not
without
great
cause
;
for
as
the
white
Paulfrey
when
he
standeth
in
the
stable
,
and
is
well
provendred
,
is
proud
and
fierce
,
and
ready
to
leape
on
every
other
horses
back
,
still
neying
,
and
prauncing
,
and
troubling
all
that
stand
about
him
:
but
when
he
is
once
out
of
his
hot
stable
,
and
deprived
a
little
of
his
case
and
fat
feeding
,
every
boy
may
ride
and
master
him
at
his
pleasure
:
so
is
it
(
quoth
he
)
with
my
Lord
of
Arundell
.
Whereat
many
marvelled
that
were
present
,
to
heare
so
insolent
speech
passe
from
a
man
of
judgement
,
against
a
Peere
of
the
Realme
cast
into
calamity
.
But
you
would
more
have
marvelled
(
quoth
the
Gentleman
)
if
you
had
seene
that
which
I
did
afterward
,
The
oft
abiect
beha●iour
of
Duke
Dudley
in
adverse
fortunes
.
when
this
Earle
was
sent
to
apprehend
and
bring
him
up
,
as
prisoner
.
If
I
should
tell
you
how
he
fell
down
on
his
knees
,
how
he
wept
,
how
he
besought
the
said
Earle
to
be
a
good
Lord
unto
him
,
whom
a
little
before
he
had
so
much
contemned
and
reproached
,
you
would
have
said
that
himselfe
might
as
well
be
compared
to
this
his
white
Paulfrey
,
as
the
other
:
Albeit
in
this
I
will
excuse
neither
of
them
both
,
neither
almost
any
of
these
great
men
who
are
so
proud
and
insolent
in
their
prosperous
fortune
,
as
they
are
easily
led
to
contemne
any
man
,
albeit
themselves
bee
most
contemptible
of
all
others
,
whensoever
their
fortune
beginneth
to
change
:
and
so
will
my
L.
of
Leicester
be
,
also
no
doubt
at
that
day
,
though
now
in
his
wealth
he
triumph
over
all
,
and
careth
not
whom
,
Sir
,
therein
I
beleeve
you
quoth
I
)
for
wee
have
had
sufficient
tryall
already
of
my
Lords
fortitude
in
adversity
.
base
behaviour
in
adversitie
.
His
base
and
abject
behaviour
in
his
last
disgrace
about
his
marriage
,
well
declared
what
hee
would
doe
in
a
matter
of
more
importance
His
fawning
and
flattering
of
them
,
whom
he
hated
most
:
his
servile
speeches
,
his
feigned
and
dissembled
teares
,
are
all
very
well
knowne
:
deceiving
of
Sir
Chr●stopher
Hatton
.
Then
Sir
Christopher
Hatton
must
needs
be
enforced
to
receive
at
his
hands
the
h●nourable
and
great
office
of
Chamberlainship
of
Chester
,
for
that
he
would
by
any
meanes
re●gne
the
same
unto
him
,
whether
he
would
or
no
:
and
made
him
provide
(
not
without
his
charge
)
to
receive
the
same
,
though
his
Lordship
never
meant
it
,
as
after
wel
appeared
.
For
that
the
present
pange
being
past
,
it
liked
my
Lord
to
fulfill
the
Italian
Proverbe
,
of
such
as
in
dangers
make
vowes
to
Saints
:
Scampato
il
pericolo
▪
gabbato
il
santo
,
the
danger
escaped
,
the
Saint
is
deceived
.
Then
,
and
in
that
necessity
,
no
men
of
the
Realm
were
so
much
honoured
commended
,
&
served
by
him
as
the
noble
Chamberlaine
deceased
,
and
the
good
Lord
Treasurer
yet
living
:
A
pretie
shift
of
my
Lord
of
Leycester
.
to
whom
,
at
a
certaine
time
,
he
wrote
a
letter
in
all
fraud
and
base
dissimulation
,
and
caused
the
same
to
be
delivered
with
great
cunning
in
the
sight
of
her
Majesty
;
and
yet
so
,
as
to
shew
a
purpose
that
it
should
not
be
seen
.
to
the
end
,
her
Highnesse
might
rather
take
occasion
to
call
for
the
same
and
read
it
,
as
she
did
.
For
Mistris
Francis
H●ward
(
to
whom
the
stratagem
was
committed
)
playing
her
part
dexterously
,
offered
to
deliver
the
same
to
the
Lord
Treasurer
,
neare
the
do●re
of
the
withdrawing
Chamber
,
he
then
comming
from
her
Majesty
:
And
to
draw
the
eye
and
attention
of
her
Highnesse
the
more
unto
i●
,
shee
let
fall
the
paper
,
before
it
touched
the
treasurers
hand
,
and
by
that
occasion
brought
her
Majesty
to
call
for
the
same
:
Which
after
she
had
read
and
considered
the
stile
,
together
with
the
metall
and
constitution
of
him
that
wrote
it
,
and
to
whom
it
was
lent
,
Her
Maiesties
speech
of
Leycest●r
to
the
T●e●su●e●
.
her
Highnesse
could
not
but
breake
forth
in
laughter
,
with
detestation
of
such
absurd
and
abject
dissimulation
:
say●ng
unto
my
Lord
Treasurer
there
pres●nt
:
my
Lord
believe
him
not
.
for
if
he
had
you
in
like
case
,
he
would
play
the
Beare
with
you
,
though
at
this
present
hee
fawne
upon
you
never
so
fast
.
But
now
Sir
,
I
pray
you
goe
forward
in
your
speech
of
Scotland
,
for
there
I
remember
you
left
off
,
when
by
occasion
we
fell
into
these
digressions
.
The
danger
of
her
Majesty
by
oppression
of
the
favourers
of
the
Scottish
title
.
doe
proceed
from
the
drift
and
complot
of
these
conspirators
.
Which
besides
the
great
dangers
mention●d
before
,
both
domesticall
and
forraine
,
temporall
,
and
of
religion
,
must
needs
inferre
great
jeopardy
also
to
her
Maiesties
person
and
present
reign
,
that
now
governeth
,
through
the
hope
and
heat
of
the
aspir●rs
ambition
,
inflamed
and
increased
so
much
the
more
by
the
nearenesse
of
their
desired
prey
.
For
as
souldiers
entred
into
the
hope
of
a
rich
and
well
furnished
Citie
,
are
more
fierce
and
furious
,
when
they
have
gotten
and
beaten
downe
the
Bullwa●ks
round
about
:
A
Similie
true
.
and
as
the
greedy
Burgl●rer
that
hath
pierced
and
broken
downe
man
wa●ls
to
come
to
a
treasure
,
is
lesse
patient
of
stay
,
stop
,
and
delay
,
when
he
commeth
in
sight
of
●hat
which
he
desireth
,
or
perceiveth
only
some
partition
of
wane
skot
or
the
like
betwixt
his
fingers
,
and
the
cofers
or
monie
bags
:
so
the●e
men
wh●n
they
shall
see
the
succession
of
Scotland
extinguished
,
together
with
all
friends
and
favour●rs
thereof
,
(
which
now
are
to
her
Majesty
as
Bullwarks
and
wals
,
and
great
obstacles
to
the
aspirors
)
and
when
they
shall
see
onely
her
Mai●sties
life
and
person
,
to
stand
betwixt
them
and
their
fierie
desires
(
for
they
make
little
account
of
all
other
Competitors
by
King
H●nries
line
:
)
no
doubt
but
it
will
bee
to
them
a
great
prick
and
spurre
to
dispatch
Her
Majestie
also
:
the
nature
of
both
Earles
being
well
considered
,
Earle
of
Leycester
.
whereof
the
one
killed
his
own
wife
,
(
as
hath
been
shewed
before
)
onely
upon
a
little
vaine
hope
of
marriage
with
a
Queene
,
and
the
other
being
so
farre
blinded
and
borne
away
with
the
same
furious
fume
,
Earle
of
Huntington
.
&
most
impotent
itching
humor
of
ambition
,
as
his
owne
mother
,
when
she
was
alive
,
seemed
greatly
to
feare
his
fingers
,
if
once
the
matter
should
come
so
neare
,
as
her
life
had
onely
stood
in
his
way
.
For
which
cause
,
the
good
old
Countesse
was
wont
to
pray
God
(
as
I
have
heard
divers
say
)
that
she
might
dye
before
her
Majesty
(
which
happily
was
granted
unto
her
)
to
the
en●
that
by
standing
in
her
sonnes
way
(
who
she
saw
to
her
grief
,
furiously
bent
to
weare
a
Crown
:
The
old
Countesse
of
Huntingtons
speech
of
h●r
sonne
.
)
there
might
not
some
dangerous
extremi●y
grow
to
her
by
that
nearenesse
:
And
if
his
owne
mother
feared
this
mischance
,
wh●t
may
her
Majesty
doubt
at
his
,
&
his
companions
han●s
,
when
she
on●ly
shall
be
the
obstacle
of
all
their
unbridled
and
impatient
de●res
?
Cleare
it
is
(
quoth
the
Lawyer
)
that
the
nearenesse
of
aspirors
to
the
●●owne
,
Lawyer
.
Nea●enesse
in
competitors
doth
incite
th●m
to
adventure
.
Henr.
Bullingb●ook
after
King
H.
the
4
endangereth
greatly
the
present
possessors
,
as
you
have
well
proved
by
reason
,
and
I
could
shew
by
divers
examples
,
if
it
were
need
.
For
when
Henrie
Bullingbrooke
,
Duke
of
Lancaster
,
saw
not
onely
Richard
the
second
to
be
without
issue
,
but
also
Roger
Mortimer
,
Earle
of
March
,
that
should
have
succeded
in
the
Crowne
,
to
bee
slaine
in
Ireland
:
though
before
(
as
is
thought
)
he
meant
not
to
usurpe
,
yet
seeing
the
possibility
and
neare
cut
that
he
had
,
was
inuited
therewith
to
lay
hands
of
his
Soveraignes
blond
and
dignity
as
he
did
.
Duke
of
Gloucester
after
King
Richard
the
third
.
The
like
is
thought
of
Richard
,
Duke
of
Glocester
,
that
he
n●ver
meant
the
murther
of
his
nephewes
,
untill
he
saw
their
father
dead
,
and
themselves
in
his
owne
hands
;
his
brother
also
Duke
of
Clarence
dispatched
,
and
his
onely
sonne
and
heire
●arle
of
Warwick
within
his
owne
power
.
Wherefore
seeing
that
it
hath
not
pleased
Almighty
God
,
for
causes
to
himselfe
best
known
,
to
leave
unto
this
noble
Realm
,
any
issue
by
her
most
excellent
Maiestie
,
it
hath
been
a
poynt
of
great
wisedome
in
mine
opinion
,
The
great
wi●edome
of
her
Majesty
in
conserving
the
next
heires
of
Scotland
.
and
of
great
safety
to
her
Highnes
person
,
state
,
&
dignity
,
to
preserve
hitherto
the
line
of
the
next
Inheritors
by
the
house
of
Scotland
,
(
I
meane
both
the
mother
and
the
sonne
)
whose
deaths
hath
been
so
diligently
sought
by
the
other
Competitors
and
had
beene
long
ere
this
atchieved
,
if
her
Majesties
owne
wisedome
,
and
royall
clemency
(
as
is
thought
)
had
not
placed
speciall
eye
upon
the
conservation
thereof
,
from
time
to
time
.
Which
Princely
providence
,
so
long
as
it
shal●
endure
,
must
needs
be
a
great
safety
and
fortres●
to
her
Majesty
,
not
onely
against
the
claimes
,
aides
,
or
annoyance
of
forraine
Princes
,
wh●
wil
not
be
so
forward
to
advance
strange
titles
while
so
manifest
heires
remain
at
home
,
nor
ye●
so
willing
(
in
respect
of
policy
)
to
●elpe
tha●
line
to
possession
of
the
whole
Island
:
but
also
against
practices
of
domesticall
aspirers
(
as
yo●
have
shewed
)
in
whose
affairs
no
doubt
but
these
two
branches
of
Sc●tland
are
great
b●ocks
,
as
also
speciall
bulwarks
to
her
Majesties
life
and
person
:
seeing
(
as
you
say
)
these
copartners
make
so
little
account
of
the
other
of
that
line
,
who
should
ensue
by
order
of
succession
.
Marry
yet
of
the
two
,
The
K.
of
Scotlands
d●struction
of
more
importance
to
the
conspirators
,
then
his
mothers
I
thinke
the
youth
of
Scotland
be
of
much
more
importance
for
their
purpose
,
to
bee
made
away
,
both
for
that
hee
may
have
issue
,
and
is
like
in
time
to
be
of
more
ability
,
for
defence
of
his
owne
inheritance
:
as
also
for
that
he
being
once
dispatched
,
his
mother
should
soone
ensue
by
one
slight
or
other
,
which
they
would
devise
unwitting
to
her
Majesty
:
albeit
,
I
must
needes
confesse
that
her
Highnesse
hath
used
most
singular
prudence
for
prevention
thereof
,
in
placing
her
restraint
with
so
noble
,
strong
,
dis●rac●d
by
the
competitors
.
and
worthy
a
Peere
of
our
Realme
,
as
the
Earle
of
Shrewsburie
is
,
whose
fidelity
and
constancy
being
nothing
plyable
to
the
others
faction
,
giveth
them
little
contentation
.
And
for
that
cause
the
world
seeth
how
many
sundry
and
divers
devices
they
have
used
,
and
do
use
dayly
to
slander
and
disgrace
him
,
and
thereby
to
pull
from
him
his
charge
committed
To
this
the
Gentleman
answered
nothing
at
all
,
but
stood
st●ll
musing
with
himselfe
,
as
though
hee
had
conceived
some
deep
matter
in
his
head
●
and
after
a
little
pause
he
began
to
say
as
followeth
I
cannot
truly
but
much
marvaile
,
T●e
vigilant
eye
that
her
Maiesties
〈◊〉
h●d
to
the
●olat●rall
li●e
.
when
I
do
compare
some
things
of
this
time
and
government
,
with
the
doings
of
former
Princes
,
Progenitors
to
her
Majesty
.
Namely
of
Henrie
the
7.
and
Henrie
the
8.
who
had
so
vigilant
an
eye
to
the
laterall
line
of
King
Edward
the
4.
by
his
brother
of
Clarence
,
as
they
thought
it
necessary
,
not
only
to
prevent
all
evident
dangers
that
might
ensue
that
way
,
but
even
the
possibilities
of
all
perill
:
as
may
well
appear
by
the
execution
of
Ed.
Earl
of
Warwick
before
named
Son
and
heire
to
the
said
Duke
of
Clarence
,
and
of
Ma●ga●et
his
sister
Countesse
of
Salisbury
,
with
the
Lord
Henry
Montague
her
sonne
,
by
whose
Dau●hter
the
Earle
of
Huntington
now
claimeth
.
Persons
executed
of
the
h●use
of
Cla●ēce
All
which
were
executed
for
avoyding
of
inconveniencies
,
and
that
at
such
times
,
when
no
imminent
danger
could
be
much
doubted
by
that
Line
,
especially
by
the
latter
.
And
yet
now
when
one
of
the
same
house
and
Line
,
of
more
ability
and
ambition
,
than
ever
any
of
his
Ancestors
were
,
maketh
open
title
and
claime
to
the
Crowne
,
with
plots
,
packs
,
and
preparations
to
most
manifest
usurpation
,
against
all
order
,
all
law
,
and
all
rightful
succession
:
and
against
a
special
statute
provided
in
that
behalfe
:
yet
is
he
permitted
,
bo●ne
out
,
favoured
,
and
friended
therein
:
and
no
man
so
hardy
,
as
in
defe●c●●f
her
Majestie
and
the
Realme
to
contr●●le
hi●
for
the
same
.
It
may
be
that
her
Majestie
is
brought
into
the
same
o●inion
of
my
Lord
of
Huntingtons
fidelity
,
The
example
of
Iulius
Caesa●s
destruction
.
as
Iulius
Caesar
was
of
Marcus
Brutus
,
his
dearest
obliged
friend
:
of
whose
ambitious
practises
,
and
aspiring
,
when
Caesar
was
advertised
by
his
carefull
friends
;
he
an●wered
,
that
hee
well
knew
Brutus
to
be
ambitious
,
but
I
am
sure
(
quoth
he
that
my
Brutu●
will
never
attempt
any
thing
for
the
Empire
while
Caesar
liveth
:
●nd
after
my
death
let
him
shift
for
the
same
among
others
,
a●
he
can
.
But
what
ensued
?
Surely
I
am
loath
to
tell
the
event
for
ominations
sake
,
but
yet
all
the
world
knoweth
that
ere
many
moneths
passed
,
this
most
noble
and
●lement
Emperour
was
pittifully
murthered
●y
the
same
Brutus
and
his
partners
in
the
publique
Senate
,
when
least
of
all
he
expected
such
treason
.
So
dangerous
a
thing
it
is
to
be
secure
in
a
matter
of
so
great
sequell
,
or
to
trust
them
with
a
mans
life
,
who
may
pretend
preferment
or
interest
by
his
death
.
Wherefore
,
would
God
her
Majestie
in
this
case
might
be
induced
to
have
such
due
care
and
regard
of
her
own
estate
and
royall
person
,
as
the
weighty
moment
of
the
matter
requireth
:
which
containeth
the
blisse
and
calamity
of
so
noble
and
worthy
a
kingdome
as
this
.
I
know
right
well
,
Too
much
confidence
verie
perillous
in
a
Prince
.
that
most
excellent
natures
are
alwayes
furthest
off
from
diffidence
in
such
people
as
proves
love
,
and
are
most
bounden
by
dutie
:
and
so
it
is
evident
in
her
Maiestie
.
But
yet
surely
,
this
confidence
so
commendable
in
other
men
,
is
scarce
allowable
oftentimes
in
the
person
of
a
Prince
:
for
that
it
goeth
accompanyed
with
so
great
perill
.
as
is
inevitable
to
him
that
will
not
suspect
principally
when
dangers
are
foretold
or
presaged
,
(
as
commonly
by
Gods
appoyntment
they
are
,
f●r
the
speciall
hand
he
holdeth
over
Princes
affaires
)
or
when
there
is
probable
conjecture
,
or
just
surmise
of
the
same
.
We
know
that
the
forenamed
Emperor
Caesar
,
had
not
onely
the
warning
given
him
of
the
inclination
and
intent
of
Brutus
to
usurpation
,
but
even
the
very
day
when
hee
was
going
towards
the
place
of
his
appoynted
destiny
,
there
was
given
up
into
his
hands
a
detection
of
the
whole
treason
,
with
request
to
read
the
same
presently
,
The
example
of
Alexander
the
g●eat
,
bow
hee
was
foretold
his
danger
.
which
he
upon
confidence
omitted
to
doe
.
Wee
read
also
of
Alexander
the
great
,
how
hee
was
not
onely
forbidden
by
a
learned
man
to
enter
into
Babylon
(
whither
he
was
then
going
)
for
that
there
was
treason
meant
against
him
in
the
place
,
but
also
that
he
was
foretold
of
Antipaters
mischievous
meaning
against
him
●n
particular
.
Bu●
the
yong
Prince
h●ving
so
well
deserved
of
Antipat●r
,
could
not
b●
brought
to
mist●ust
the
man
that
was
so
dea●e
unto
him
:
and
by
that
meanes
was
poysoned
in
a
banqu●t
by
three
sons
of
Antipater
,
which
were
of
most
credit
and
confidence
in
the
Kings
Chamber
.
Here
,
truly
,
my
heart
did
somewhat
tremble
with
feare
,
L●te
executions
.
and
so
forward
in
seeking
out
,
and
pursuing
all
such
a●
may
be
t●ought
to
be
d●ngerous
to
her
Majesties
pe●son
,
as
by
the
●und●y
late
executions
wee
have
have
se●n
,
and
by
the
punishments
every
way
of
Papists
we
m●y
perceive
.
Truth
it
is
(
quoth
the
Gentlem●n
)
that
justice
hath
bin
done
upon
divers
of
late
,
Fraud
to
be
feared
in
pursuing
one
part
or
faction
only
.
The
comparison
of
Wolves
and
Rebels
.
I
am
(
beleeve
me
)
often
tempted
to
suspect
fraud
and
false
measure
:
and
that
these
men
deale
,
as
wolves
by
nature
in
other
Countries
are
wont
to
do
:
Which
going
together
in
great
numbers
to
assaile
a
flocke
of
sheep
by
night
,
doe
set
some
one
or
two
of
their
company
upon
the
wind
side
of
the
fold
a
far
off
,
who
parly
by
their
sent
and
o●her
bruteling
,
which
of
purpose
they
make
,
may
draw
the
dogs
and
shepheards
to
pursue
them
alone
,
whiles
the
other
doe
enter
and
slay
the
whole
flock
.
Or
as
rebels
that
meaning
to
surprize
a
Town
,
to
turne
away
the
Inhabitants
from
considering
of
the
danger
,
and
from
defence
of
that
place
,
where
they
intend
to
enter
,
doe
set
on
fire
some
other
parts
of
the
Towne
further
off
,
and
doe
sound
a
false
alarme
at
some
gate
,
where
is
meant
least
danger
.
Which
art
was
used
cunningly
by
Richard
D.
of
Yorke
in
the
time
of
King
Henrie
the
sixt
,
Duke
of
Yorke
.
when
he
to
cover
his
owne
int●nt
,
brought
all
the
Realme
in
doubt
of
the
doings
of
Edmond
Duke
of
Somerset
,
his
enemy
.
A
good
rule
of
policy
.
I
speake
not
this
to
excuse
Papists
,
or
to
wish
them
any
way
spared
wherein
they
offend
:
but
onely
to
signifie
that
in
a
Countrey
,
where
so
potent
factions
bee
,
it
is
not
safe
,
to
suffer
the
one
to
make
it selfe
so
puissant
by
pursuit
of
the
other
:
as
afterwards
the
Prince
must
remaine
at
the
devotion
of
the
stronger
:
but
rather
as
in
a
body
molested
and
troubled
with
contrarie
humours
,
if
all
cannot
be
purged
,
the
best
Physick
is
without
all
doubt
to
reduce
and
hold
them
at
such
an
equality
,
as
destruction
may
not
be
feared
of
the
predominant
.
To
this
said
the
Lawyer
laughing
,
yea
marry
Sir
,
I
would
to
God
your
opinion
might
prevaile
in
this
matter
;
for
then
should
wee
bee
in
other
tearmes
then
now
we
are
.
I
was
,
not
long
since
,
in
company
of
a
cetaine
honourable
Lady
of
the
Court
,
who
,
after
some
speech
passed
by
Gentlemen
that
were
present
,
of
some
apprehended
,
and
some
executed
,
and
such
like
aff●ires
,
brake
into
a
great
complaint
of
the
present
time
,
and
therewith
(
I
assure
you
)
moved
all
the
hearers
to
griefe
(
as
women
you
know
are
potent
in
stirring
of
affections
)
and
caused
them
all
to
wish
that
her
Majesty
had
beene
nigh
to
have
heard
her
words
.
The
speech
of
a
certain
Lady
of
the
Court.
I
doe
well
remember
(
quoth
she
)
the
first
dosen
yeares
of
her
Highnesse
reigne
,
how
happy
,
pleasant
and
quiet
they
were
,
with
all
manner
of
comfort
and
consolation
.
There
was
no
mention
then
of
f●ctions
in
religion
,
neither
was
any
man
much
noted
or
rejected
for
that
cause
:
so
otherwise
his
conversation
were
civill
and
cou●teous
.
No
suspition
of
treason
,
no
talke
of
bloudshed
,
no
complaint
of
troubles
,
miseries
,
or
vexations
,
All
was
peace
,
all
was
love
,
all
was
joy
,
all
was
delight
.
Her
M●jestie
(
I
am
sure
)
took
more
Recreation
at
that
time
in
one
day
,
than
shee
doth
now
in
a
whole
week
:
and
wee
that
served
her
Highnesse
,
enjoyed
more
contentation
in
a
weeke
,
than
we
can
now
in
divers
yeares
.
For
now
,
there
are
so
many
suspitions
every
where
,
for
this
thing
,
and
for
that
,
as
we
cannot
tell
whom
to
trust
.
So
m●ny
melancholick
in
the
Court
,
that
seem
male-contented
,
so
many
complayning
or
suing
for
their
friends
that
are
in
trouble
:
others
slip
over
the
Sea
,
or
retire
themselves
upon
the
suddaine
:
so
many
tales
brought
us
of
this
or
that
danger
;
of
this
man
suspected
,
of
that
man
sent
for
up
,
and
such
l●ke
unpleasant
,
●nd
unsavorie
stuffe
;
as
we
can
never
almost
bee
merry
one
whole
day
together
.
Wherefore
(
quoth
this
Lady
)
wee
that
are
of
her
Majesties
traine
and
speciall
service
,
and
doe
not
onely
feele
these
things
in
our selves
,
but
much
more
in
the
grief
of
her
most
excellent
Majesty
whom
we
see
dayly
molested
herewith
(
being
one
of
the
best
natures
,
I
am
sure
,
that
ever
noble
Princesse
was
indued
withall
:
)
wee
cannot
but
mone
,
More
moderation
wished
in
matters
of
faction
.
to
behold
contentions
advanced
so
far
forth
as
they
are
:
and
we
could
wish
most
heartily
that
for
the
time
to
come
these
matters
might
passe
with
such
peace
,
friendship
,
and
tranquillity
,
as
they
doe
in
other
Countryes
,
where
difference
in
religion
breaketh
not
the
band
of
good
fellowship
.
or
fidelity
.
And
with
this
in
a
smiling
manner
she
brake
off
,
asking
pardon
of
the
company
,
if
she
had
spoken
her
opinion
over
boldly
,
like
a
woman
.
To
whom
answered
a
Courtier
that
fate
next
her
:
Madame
,
The
speech
of
a
Courtier
.
your
L●diship
hath
said
nothing
in
this
behalfe
,
that
is
not
dayly
debated
amongst
us
,
in
our
common
speech
in
Court
as
you
know
.
Your
desire
also
he●ein
is
a
publick
desire
,
if
it
might
be
brought
to
p●ss●
:
for
there
is
no
man
so
simple
,
that
seeth
not
how
perilous
these
contentions
and
divisions
among
us
may
bee
in
the
end
.
And
I
have
heard
divers
Gentlemen
that
be
lea●●●d
,
discourse
at
large
upon
this
argument
:
alleaging
old
examples
of
the
Athenians
,
Lacedemonians
Carthigenians
,
The
perill
of
divisions
&
factions
in
a
Commonwealth
and
Romans
,
who
received
notable
dammages
,
and
destruction
also
in
the
end
,
by
their
divisions
and
factions
among
themselves
,
and
sp●cially
from
them
of
their
own
Cities
and
Countries
,
who
upon
factions
lived
abroad
with
Forrainers
:
and
thereby
were
always
as
fire-brands
,
to
carry
home
the
flame
of
Warre
upon
their
Countrey
.
The
like
they
also
shewed
by
th●
long
experience
of
all
the
great
Cities
and
States
of
Italy
:
which
by
their
factions
and
forucites
,
were
in
continuall
gar-boyle
,
bloud-shed
and
miserie
.
Whereof
our
owne
countrey
hath
also
tasted
her
part
,
by
the
odious
contention
between
the
houses
of
Lancaster
and
Yorke
:
wherein
it
is
marvailous
to
consider
,
what
trouble
a
few
men
oftentimes
,
departing
out
of
the
Realme
,
were
able
to
worke
by
the
part
of
their
f●ction
r●maining
at
home
(
which
commonly
encreaseth
towa●d
them
that
are
absent
)
&
by
the
readines
of
for●ain
Princes
,
to
receive
●lw●yes
,
and
comfort
such
as
are
disconten●●●
in
another
state
:
to
the
end
,
that
by
their
meanes
,
th●y
might
hold
an
Ore
in
their
neighbours
boat
:
Which
Prince●
that
a●e
n●gh
borderers
,
doe
alwayes
above
all
other
things
most
covet
and
d●sire
.
This
was
that
Courtiers
speech
and
reason
,
whereby
I
perceived
,
The
dangerous
sequel
of
dissention
in
our
Realme
.
that
aswell
among
th●m
in
Cou●t
,
as
among
us
in
the
R●alme
and
Coun●ry
abroad
,
the
present
i●
conv●nience
and
dangerous
sequell
of
this
our
home
dis●ention
,
is
espyed
,
and
consequently
most
English
hearts
inclined
to
wish
the
r●medy
or
p●evention
thereof
,
by
some
reasonable
mod●ration
,
or
re-union
among
our selves
.
For
that
the
prosecution
of
these
d●ffer●nces
to
extr●a●itie
,
cannot
but
after
many
wounds
and
exulcerations
bring
matters
finally
to
rage
,
fury
,
and
most
deadly
desperation
.
Whereas
on
the
other
side
,
if
any
sweet
qualification
,
or
small
tolleration
among
us
were
admitted
:
there
is
no
doubt
,
but
that
affaires
would
passe
in
our
Realme
with
more
quietnesse
,
safety
and
publike
weale
of
the
same
,
then
it
is
like
it
will
doe
long
:
and
men
would
easily
be
brought
,
that
have
English
bowells
,
to
joyne
in
the
preservation
of
their
Countrey
from
ruine
,
bloudshed
,
and
forraine
oppression
,
which
desparation
of
factions
is
wont
to
procure
.
I
am
of
your
opinion
(
quoth
the
Gentleman
)
in
that
,
for
I
have
seene
the
experience
thereof
,
Germanie
,
Polonia
,
Boe●land
,
Examples
of
tolleration
in
matters
of
religion
.
and
Hungarie
:
where
a
little
bearing
of
the
one
with
the
other
,
hath
wrought
them
much
ease
,
and
continued
them
a
peace
,
whereof
all
Europe
besides
hath
admiration
and
envie
.
The
first
12
years
also
of
her
Majesties
reign
,
whereof
your
Lady
of
the
Court
discoursed
of
before
,
Wee
see
in
France
,
that
by
over
much
pressing
of
one
part
onely
,
The
breach
&
reunion
again
in
France
.
a
fi●e
was
inkindled
not
many
yea●es
since
,
like
to
have
consumed
and
destroyed
the
whole
:
had
not
a
necess●ry
mollification
been
thought
upon
by
the
wisest
of
that
Kings
Councell
full
contrary
to
the
will
and
inclination
of
som●
great
personages
,
who
meant
perhaps
to
have
gained
more
by
the
other
:
and
since
that
time
we
see
what
peace
,
wealth
,
and
re-union
hath
ensued
in
that
Country
that
was
so
broken
,
dissevered
,
and
wasted
before
.
And
all
this
,
by
yeelding
a
litt●e
in
that
thing
,
which
no
force
can
master
,
but
exulcerate
rather
,
and
make
worse
:
I
meane
the
conscience
and
judgement
of
men
in
matters
of
Religion
.
The
like
also
I
could
name
you
in
Flanders
,
But
what
should
I
talke
of
this
thing
which
is
so
contrary
to
the
desires
and
designements
of
our
puissant
Conspirators
?
Moderation
impugned
by
the
conspira
.
Cicero
.
Cateline
.
What
should
Cicero
the
Senator
use
perswasions
to
Captaine
Cateline
,
and
his
crew
,
that
quietnesse
and
order
were
better
than
hurliburlies
?
Is
it
possible
that
our
aspirors
will
ever
permit
any
such
thing
,
cause
,
or
matter
,
to
be
treated
in
our
state
,
as
may
tend
to
the
stability
of
her
Majesties
present
government
?
No
surely
,
it
standeth
nothing
with
their
wisedome
or
policy
,
especially
at
this
instant
,
when
they
have
such
opportunity
of
following
their
owne
actions
in
Her
Majesties
name
,
under
the
vizard
and
pretext
of
her
defence
and
safety
:
having
sowed
in
every
mans
head
so
many
imaginations
of
the
dangers
present
both
abroad
and
at
home
:
from
Scotland
,
Flanders
,
Spaine
,
and
Ireland
:
so
man
conspiracies
,
The
Conspirators
opportunitie
.
so
many
intended
murthers
,
and
others
so
many
contrived
or
conceived
mischiefes
:
as
my
Lord
of
Leicester
assureth
himselfe
that
the
troubled
water
cannot
be
cleared
againe
in
short
space
,
nor
his
baits
and
lines
laid
therein
,
easily
espyed
:
but
rather
,
that
hereby
,
ere
long
,
he
will
catch
the
fish
he
gapeth
so
greedily
after
:
and
in
the
meane
time
,
for
the
pursuit
of
these
crimes
,
and
other
●hat
he
dayly
will
finde
out
,
himselfe
must
remaine
perpetuall
Dictator
.
But
what
meaneth
this
so
much
inculcating
of
troubles
,
treasons
,
murthers
,
and
invasions
?
I
like
not
surely
these
ominous
speeches
.
And
as
I
am
out
of
doubt
,
that
Leicester
the
caster
of
these
shadowes
,
doth
look
to
play
his
part
first
in
these
troublesome
affaires
:
so
doe
I
heartily
feare
,
that
unlesse
the
tyranny
of
this
Leicestrian
fury
bee
speedily
stopped
,
that
such
miserie
to
Prince
and
people
(
which
the
Lord
for
his
mercies
sake
turne
from
us
)
as
never
greater
fell
before
to
our
miserable
Countrey
,
is
far
nearer
hand
than
is
expected
or
suspect●d
.
And
therefore
for
the
prevention
of
these
calamities
,
to
tell
you
plainly
mine
opinion
(
good
Sirs
)
and
therewith
to
draw
to
an
end
of
this
our
conference
(
for
it
waxeth
late
:
to
be
called
to
account
.
)
I
would
thinke
it
the
most
necessarie
poynt
of
all
for
her
Majesty
to
call
his
Lordship
to
account
among
other
,
and
to
see
what
other
men
could
say
against
him
,
at
length
,
after
so
m●ny
yeares
of
his
sole
accusing
,
and
pursuing
of
others
.
I
know
,
and
am
very
well
assured
,
that
no
one
act
which
her
Majestie
hath
done
since
her
comming
to
the
Crowne
(
as
shee
hath
done
right
many
most
highly
to
be
commended
)
nor
any
that
lightly
her
Majesty
may
doe
hereafter
,
can
be
of
more
utility
to
Her selfe
,
and
to
the
Realme
,
or
,
more
gratefull
to
her
faithfull
and
zealous
subjects
than
this
noble
act
of
Iustice
would
be
,
for
tryall
of
this
mans
deserts
towards
his
Countrey
.
I
say
it
would
be
profitable
to
her
Majesty
,
and
to
the
Realme
,
no●
onely
in
respect
of
the
many
dangers
befo●e
mentioned
,
hereby
to
be
avoyded
,
which
are
like
to
ensue
most
certainly
,
if
his
courses
bee
still
permitted
:
but
also
for
that
her
Majesty
shall
by
this
,
d●liver
Her selfe
from
that
generall
grudge
and
griefe
of
mind
,
with
great
dislike
,
which
many
subiects
,
otherwise
most
faithfull
,
have
conceived
against
the
excessive
favour
shewed
to
this
man
so
many
yeares
,
without
desert
or
reason
.
Which
favour
he
having
used
to
the
hurt
,
annoyance
,
and
oppression
both
of
infinite
severall
persons
,
and
the
whole
common-weal●h
(
as
hath
bin
said
:
)
the
griefe
and
resentment
thereof
,
doth
redound
commonly
in
such
cases
not
only
upon
the
person
delinquent
alone
,
but
also
upon
the
Soveraigne
,
by
whose
favour
&
authority
he
offers
such
iniuries
,
though
never
so
much
against
the
others
intēt
,
d●sire
or
meaning
.
And
hereof
we
have
examples
of
sundry
Princes
,
in
all
ages
and
Countries
,
whose
exorbitant
favour
to
some
wicked
subiect
that
abused
the
same
,
hath
bin
the
cause
of
great
d●nger
and
ruine
;
the
sins
of
the
favourite
being
returned
and
revenged
upon
the
favourer
.
As
in
the
Historie
of
the
Grecians
is
declared
,
by
occasion
of
the
pittifull
murther
of
that
wise
and
victorious
P.

who

assured
to
have
given
no
offence
of
himself
to
any
of
his
subiects
,
&
consequently
feared
nothing
,
but
conversed
openly
and
confidently
among
them
:
yet
,
for
that
hee
had
favoured
too
much
one

Attalus
,
a
proud

insolent
Courtier
,
and
had
born
him
out
in
certain
of
his
wickednes
,
or
at

not
punished
the
same
after
it
was
detected
and
co●plained
upon
:
the
parties
grieved
accounting
the
crime
more
proper

and
heinous

the
part
of

who
by

should

and
Henrie

:
this
onl●
point
of
too
much
favour
towards
wicked

,
was
the
chiefest
cause
of
destruction

(

of

to

and

with

And
so
likewise
now
to
speak
in
our
particular
case
,
if
there
be
any
grudge
or
griefe
at
this
day
,
any
mislike
,
repining
,
complaint
or
murmure
against
her
Majesties

,
in
the
hearts
of
her
true

subjects
,
who
wish
amendment
of
that
which
is
amisse
,
and
not
the
overthrow
of
that
which
is
well
:
(
as
I
trow
it
were
no
wisedome
to
imagine
there
were
none
at
all
:
)
I
dare
avouch
upon
Conscience
,
that
either
all
,
or
the
greatest
part
thereof
,
proceedeth
from
this
man
;
who
by
the
favor
of
her
Majesty
so
afflicteth
her
peo●le
as
never
did
before
him
,
either
Gaveston
,
Spencer
,
Fere
,
or
Mowbray
or
any
other
mischievous
●irant
,
that
abused
most
his
Princes
●avour
within
our
Realme
of
England
Whereby
it
is
evident
how
profitable
a
thing
it
should
bee
to
the
whole
Realme
,
how
honourable
to
her
Maje●●y
,
and
how
gratefull
to
all
her
subjects
,
if
this
man
at
length
might
be
called
to
his
account
.
Si●
(
quoth
the
Lawyer
)
you
alleage
great
reason
,
As
to
goe
no
further
then
to
the
last
example
nam●d
and
alleaged
by
your selfe
before
:
though
Queen
Margaret
the
wife
of
K
Henrie
the
sixt
,
had
favoured
most
unfortunately
many
yeares
together
,
The
punishment
of
William
Duke
of
Suffolk
.
W●ll●am
Duke
of
Suffolk
(
as
hath
bin
said
)
whereby
he
committed
manifold
outrages
,
and
afflicted
the
Realme
by
sundry
meanes
:
yet
she
being
a
woman
of
great
prudence
,
when
she
saw
the
whole
Communalty
demand
justice
upon
him
for
his
demerits
,
albeit
she
liked
and
loved
the
man
still
:
yet
for
satisfaction
of
the
people
,
upon
so
generall
a
complaint
,
shee
was
content
first
to
commit
him
to
prison
,
and
afterward
to
banish
him
the
Realme
:
but
the
providence
of
God
would
not
permit
him
so
to
escape
:
for
that
he
being
incountred
and
taken
upon
the
sea
in
his
passage
,
he
was
beheaded
in
the
ship
,
and
so
received
some
part
of
condigne
punishment
for
his
most
wicked
,
loose
,
and
licentious
life
.
And
to
seeke
no
more
examples
in
this
case
,
&
we
know
into
what
favour
and
speciall
grace
Sir
Edmond
Dudley
,
my
Lord
of
Leycesters
good
Grandfather
was
crept
,
with
King
Henry
the
seventh
,
in
the
latter
end
of
his
reigne
:
and
what
intollerable
wickednesse
and
mischiefe
he
wrought
against
the
whole
Realme
,
and
against
infinite
particular
persons
of
the
same
,
by
the
polings
and
oppressions
which
hee
practised
:
wherby
though
the
King
received
great
temporall
commodity
at
that
rime
,
The
punishment
of
Edmond
Dudley
.
(
as
her
Majesty
doth
nothing
at
all
by
the
present
extortions
of
his
Nephew
:
)
yet
for
justice
sake
,
and
for
meere
c●mpassion
towards
his
afflicted
subiects
,
that
complained
grievously
of
this
iniquity
:
that
most
vertuous
and
wise
Prince
King
Henrie
was
content
to
put
from
him
this
lewd
instrument
,
and
devillish
suggestor
of
new
exactions
:
whom
his
sonne
Henrie
that
ensued
in
the
Crown
,
caused
presently
before
all
other
busines
,
to
be
called
publickly
to
account
,
and
for
his
deserts
to
leese
his
head
:
So
as
where
the
interest
of
a
whole
Realme
,
or
common
cause
of
many
,
taketh
place
:
the
private
favour
of
any
one
cannot
stay
a
wise
&
godly
Prince
,
(
such
as
al
the
world
knoweth
her
Maiesty
to
be
)
from
permitting
iustice
to
have
her
free
passage
.
Truely
it
should
not
(
quoth
the
Gentleman
)
for
to
that
end
were
Princes
first
elected
,
Gentl.
The
causes
why
Princes
are
chosen
,
and
do
receive
obedience
.
and
upon
that
consideration
doe
subiects
both
pay
them
tribute
and
obedience
;
to
bee
defended
by
them
from
iniuries
and
oppressions
,
and
to
see
lawes
executed
,
and
iustice
exercised
,
upon
and
towards
all
men
with
indifferency
.
And
as
for
our
particular
case
of
my
Lord
of
Leycester
,
I
doe
not
see
in
right
and
equity
how
her
Maiesty
may
deny
this
lawfull
desire
and
petition
of
her
people
.
For
if
her
highnesse
doe
permit
and
command
the
Lawes
dayly
to
passe
upon
thieves
and
murderers
without
exception
,
and
that
for
one
fact
onely
,
as
by
experience
we
see
;
how
then
can
it
be
den●ed
in
this
m●n
,
who
in
both
kinds
hath
committed
more
enormous
acts
,
then
may
be
well
recounted
.
And
as
for
the
second
,
which
is
murther
,
you
have
heard
before
somewhat
said
and
proved
:
Wherein
now
,
if
we
adde
his
other
good
behaviour
,
as
his
intollerable
licentiousnesse
in
all
filthy
kind
and
manner
of
carnality
,
A
heap
of
Leycesters
enormities
that
would
be
ready
at
the
day
of
his
triall
.
with
all
sort
of
Wives
,
Friends
,
and
Kinsewomen
:
if
wee
add
his
iniuries
aod
dishonours
,
done
hereby
to
infinite
:
if
we
adde
his
treasons
,
treacheries
,
and
conspiracies
about
the
Crowne
;
his
disloyall
behaviour
,
and
hatred
against
her
Majesty
,
his
ordinarie
lying
,
and
common
perjuring
himselfe
in
all
matters
for
his
gain
,
both
great
and
smal
;
his
rapes
and
most
violent
extortions
upon
the
poore
;
his
abusing
of
the
Parliament
and
other
places
of
justice
,
with
the
Nobility
and
whole
Communalty
besides
;
if
we
add
also
his
open
injuries
which
hee
offereth
d●yly
to
Religion
,
and
the
Ministers
thereof
,
by
tithing
them
,
and
turning
all
to
his
owne
gaine
;
together
with
his
manifest
and
known
tyranny
practised
towards
all
estates
abroad
,
throu
bout
all
Shires
of
the
kingdome
;
his
dispoyling
of
both
the
Vniversities
,
and
d●scouraging
of
infinite
notable
wits
there
,
from
seeking
perfection
of
knowledge
and
learning
,
(
which
o●herwise
were
like
to
become
notable
)
especially
in
Gods
word
(
which
giveth
life
unto
the
soule
,
)
by
defrauding
them
of
the
price
and
reward
proposed
for
their
travail
in
that
kind
,
through
his
insatiable
Simoniacall
contracts
:
if
I
say
,
we
should
lay
together
all
these
enormities
before
her
Majesty
,
and
thousands
more
in
particular
,
which
might
and
would
be
gathered
,
if
his
day
of
his
triall
were
but
in
hope
to
be
granted
.
I
do
not
see
in
equity
and
reason
,
how
her
Highnesse
sitt●●g
in
throne
,
and
at
the
royall
sterne
,
as
shee
doth
,
could
denie
her
Subiects
this
most
lawfull
request
;
considering
,
that
every
one
of
th●se
crimes
apart
,
requireth
just●ce
of
his
owne
nature
;
and
much
more
all
together
ought
to
obtaine
the
same
,
at
the
hands
of
any
good
and
godly
Magistrate
in
the
World
.
No
doubt
(
quoth
I
but
that
these
considerations
must
needs
weigh
much
with
any
zealous
Prince
and
much
more
with
her
most
excellent
Majesty
whose
tender
heart
towards
her
Realm
and
Subjects
,
Her
Maiesties
tender
heart
towards
the
●ealme
.
is
very
well
known
of
all
men
.
It
is
not
to
be
thought
also
but
that
her
Highnesse
hath
intelligence
of
divers
of
●hese
matters
alleaged
,
though
not
perhaps
of
all
.
But
what
would
you
have
her
Majesty
to
doe
?
perhaps
the
consultation
of
this
affaire
,
is
not
,
what
were
convenient
,
but
what
is
expedient
:
not
,
what
ought
to
bee
done
in
justice
,
but
what
may
bee
done
in
safety
.
You
have
described
my
Lord
before
to
be
a
great
man
,
strongly
furnished
and
fortified
for
a
●events
.
What
if
it
be
not
secure
to
bark
at
the
Bear
that
is
so
wel
britched
?
I
speak
unto
you
,
but
that
which
I
heare
in
Cambr●dge
and
other
places
where
I
have
passed
:
where
every
mans
opinion
is
,
that
her
M●jesty
standeth
not
in
free
choyse
to
doe
what
her selfe
best
liketh
in
th●t
case
,
at
this
day
.
d●sire
that
men
should
thnike
●er
Maiesty
?
to
stand
in
f●are
of
him
.
I
know
said
the
Gentleman
)
that
Leicesters
friends
give
it
out
every
where
that
her
Maiesty
now
●s
their
good
Lords
prisoner
,
and
that
shee
eith●r
will
or
mu●●
be
directed
by
him
for
the
time
to
come
,
except
she
will
do
worse
:
Which
thing
his
Lordship
is
well
contented
should
bee
spread
abroad
,
and
believed
for
two
causes
:
the
one
to
hold
the
people
thereby
more
in
awe
of
himself
,
than
of
their
●overaign
:
and
secondly
to
d●aw
her
Majesty
indeed
by
degrees
to
fear
him
.
For
considering
with
him●elfe
what
hee
hath
done
:
and
that
it
is
imp●ssible
in
truth
that
ever
her
Majesty
should
love
him
again
,
or
trust
him
a●ter
so
many
treacheries
as
he
well
knoweth
are
com●
to
her
Highnes
understanding
:
he
thinketh
that
he
hath
no
way
of
sure
standing
,
but
by
terror
and
opinion
of
his
puiss●nt
greatnesse
;
wherby
he
would
hold
her
Majesty
and
the
Realme
in
thraldome
,
as
his
father
did
in
his
time
before
him
.
And
then
,
for
that
he
wel
remembreth
the
true
saying
,
Malus
custo●
diuturnitatis
,
metus
:
Cicero
in
Officio
.
he
mu●t
provide
shortly
,
that
those
which
feare
him
,
be
not
able
to
hurt
him
:
and
consequently
you
know
what
must
follow
,
by
the
example
of
K.
Edward
,
who
feared
Duke
Dudley
extreamly
for
that
he
had
cut
off
his
two
Vncles
heads
,
A
rule
of
Machivell
observed
by
the
Dudlies
and
the
Duke
took
order
that
he
should
never
live
to
revenge
the
same
For
it
is
a
setled
rule
of
Machiavel
,
which
the
Dudlies
doe
observe
:
That
.
wher
you
have
once
done
a
great
injury
,
there
must
you
never
forgive
.
But
I
will
tell
you
(
my
friends
)
and
I
will
tell
you
no
ū●ruth
,
strong
onely
by
her
Maiesties
favour
.
for
that
I
know
what
I
speak
herein
,
and
am
privie
to
the
state
of
my
Lord
in
this
behalfe
,
and
of
mens
opinions
and
affections
towards
him
within
the
Realme
.
Most
certaine
it
is
,
that
hee
is
strong
by
the
present
favour
of
the
Prince
(
as
hath
bin
shewed
before
)
in
respect
wherof
,
he
is
●dmitted
also
as
chief
patron
of
the
Huntington
faction
,
though
neither
loved
,
nor
greatly
trusted
of
the
same
:
but
let
her
M●jesty
once
turn
her
cou●tenance
aside
from
him
in
good
earnest
,
and
speak
but
the
word
only
,
that
iustice
shall
take
place
against
him
;
●nd
I
will
undertake
with
gaging
of
both
my
life
and
little
lands
that
God
hath
given
me
,
that
without
●●ur
or
trouble
,
or
any
danger
in
the
world
,
the
Beare
shall
be
taken
to
her
Majesties
hand
,
and
fast
chained
to
a
stake
,
An
offer
made
for
taking
and
tying
the
Beare
.
with
mouzell
,
cord
,
collar
,
and
ring
,
and
all
other
things
necess●ry
:
so
that
her
Majesty
shal
ba●t
him
at
her
pleasure
,
without
all
danger
of
byting
,
breaking
loose
,
or
any
oth●r
inconvenience
whatsoever
.
For
(
Sirs
)
you
must
not
think
,
that
this
man
holdeth
any
thing
abroad
in
the
Realme
but
by
violence
,
and
that
onely
upon
her
Majesties
favour
and
countenance
towards
him
.
He
hath
not
any
thing
of
his
owne
,
either
from
his
ancestors
,
or
of
himselfe
,
to
stay
upon
,
in
mens
hearts
or
conceits
:
he
hath
not
ancient
Nobility
,
as
other
of
our
realm
have
,
wherby
mens
affections
are
greatly
moved
.
His
father
John
Dudley
was
the
first
noble
of
his
line
;
what
hee
receiveth
from
his
ancestors
who
raised
and
made
himselfe
big
by
supplanting
of
other
,
and
by
setting
debate
among
the
Nobilitie
:
as
also
his
grandfather
Edmond
,
a
most
wicked
Promoter
,
and
wretched
Petifogger
,
enriched
himselfe
by
other
mens
ruines
:
both
of
them
condemned
Traitors
,
though
different
in
quality
,
the
one
being
a
consener
,
and
the
other
a
tyrant
,
and
both
of
their
vices
conjoyned
,
collected
,
and
comprised
(
with
many
more
additions
)
in
this
man
(
or
beast
rather
)
which
is
Robert
,
the
third
of
their
kin
and
kind
.
So
that
from
his
ancestors
,
this
Lord
receiveth
neither
honour
nor
honesty
,
but
onely
succession
of
treason
and
infamy
.
And
yet
in
himselfe
hath
he
much
lesse
of
good
,
wherewith
to
procure
himselfe
love
or
credit
among
men
,
than
these
ancestors
of
his
had
;
hee
being
a
man
wholy
abandoned
of
humane
vertue
,
and
devoted
to
wickednes
,
which
maketh
men
edible
both
to
God
and
man
.
In
his
father
(
no
doubt
)
there
were
to
be
seen
many
excellent
good
parts
,
if
they
had
been
joyned
with
faith
,
honesty
,
moderation
and
loyalty
.
The
comparison
of
Leycester
with
his
father
.
For
all
the
world
know·
that
he
was
very
wise
,
valiant
,
magnanimous
,
liberall
,
and
assured
friendly
where
he
once
promised
:
of
all
which
vertues
my
Lord
his
son
hath
neither
shew
nor
shadow
,
but
onely
a
certaine
false
representation
of
the
first
,
being
craftie
and
subtile
to
deceive
,
and
ingenious
to
wickednesse
.
For
as
for
valour
,
he
hath
as
much
as
hath
a
mouse
:
his
magnanimity
is
base
sordidity
:
his
liberality
rapine
:
his
friendsh●p
plaine
fraud
,
holding
onely
for
his
gaine
,
and
no
otherwise
,
though
it
were
bound
with
a
thousand
oathes
;
of
which
he
maketh
as
great
account
,
as
hens
doe
of
cackling
,
but
onely
for
his
commodity
:
using
them
specially
and
in
gryatest
number
,
when
most
he
meaneth
to
deceive
.
Namely
,
if
he
sweare
solemnly
by
his
George
,
or
by
the
eternall
God
,
then
be
sure
it
is
a
false
lye
:
for
these
are
observations
in
the
Court
:
and
sometimes
in
his
owne
lodging
;
in
like
case
his
manner
is
to
take
up
and
sweare
by
the
Bible
,
whereby
a
Gentleman
of
good
account
,
and
one
that
seemeth
to
follow
him
,
(
as
many
do
that
like
him
but
a
little
)
protested
to
me
of
his
knowledge
,
that
in
a
very
short
space
,
hee
observed
him
wittingly
and
willingly
to
be
forsworn
sixteen
times
.
This
man
therefore
so
contemptible
by
his
ancestors
,
so
odible
of
himselfe
,
so
plunged
,
The
weaknesse
〈◊〉
Leyces●●r
if
●er
Maj●sty
turne
but
her
counte●●ce
from
him
.
overwhelmed
and
defamed
in
all
vice
,
so
envyed
in
the
Court
,
so
detested
in
the
Country
,
and
not
trusted
of
his
owne
and
dearest
friends
,
nay
(
which
I
am
privie
to
)
so
misliked
and
hated
of
his
owne
servants
about
him
,
for
his
beastly
life
,
nigardy
,
and
Atheisme
(
being
never
seene
yet
to
say
one
private
prayer
within
his
chamber
in
his
life
)
as
they
desire
nothing
in
this
world
so
much
as
his
ruine
,
and
that
they
may
be
the
first
,
to
lay
hands
upon
him
for
revenge
.
This
man
(
I
say
)
so
broken
both
within
&
without
,
is
it
possible
that
her
Majesty
and
her
wise
Councell
should
feare
?
I
can
never
believe
it
,
or
if
it
be
so
,
it
is
Gods
permission
without
all
cause
,
for
punishment
of
our
sins
:
for
that
this
man
,
if
he
once
perceive
indeed
that
they
feare
him
,
will
handle
them
accordingly
,
and
play
the
Beare
indeed
:
which
inconvenience
I
hope
they
will
have
care
to
prevent
,
and
so
I
leave
it
to
God
,
and
them
,
craving
pardon
of
my
Lord
of
Leicester
for
my
boldnes
,
if
I
have
been
too
plain
with
him
.
And
so
I
pray
you
let
us
goe
to
supper
,
for
I
see
my
seruant
expecting
yonder
at
the
Gallery
doore
to
call
us
downe
.
To
that
,
said
the
Lawyer
,
I
am
content
with
all
my
heart
;
The
end
and
departure
from
the
Gallerie
.
and
I
would
it
had
beene
sooner
,
for
that
I
am
afraid
,
lest
any
by
chance
have
ov●rheard
us
here
since
night
.
For
my
owne
part
,
I
must
say
,
that
I
have
not
been
at
such
a
conference
this
seven
years
,
nor
meane
to
bee
hereafter
,
if
I
may
escape
well
with
this
;
whereof
I
am
sure
I
shall
dreame
this
fortnight
,
and
thinke
oftner
of
my
Lord
of
Leicester
,
than
ever
I
had
intended
:
God
amend
him
and
me
both
.
But
if
ever
I
heare
at
other
hands
of
these
matters
hereafter
,
I
shall
surely
be
quake
britch
,
and
thinke
every
bush
a
theefe
.
And
with
that
,
came
up
the
Mistris
of
the
house
to
fetch
us
down
to
supper
,
and
so
all
was
husht
,
saving
that
at
supper
a
gentleman
or
two
began
again
to
speak
of
my
Lord
,
and
that
so
co●formable
to
some
of
our
former
speech
(
as
indeed
it
is
the
common
talke
at
tables
every
where
)
that
the
old
Lawyer
beg●n
to
shrink
and
be
app●led
,
and
to
cast
dry
looks
upon
the
Gentleman
ou●
friend
,
doubting
lest
something
h●d
been
discover●d
of
our
confe●ence
.
But
indeed
it
was
not
so
.
