A
short
admonition
or
warning
vpon
the
detestable
treason
wherwith
sir
William
Stanley
and
Rowland
Yorke
haue
betraied
and
deliuered
for
money
vnto
the
Spaniards
,
the
towne
of
Deuenter
,
and
the
Sconce
of
Zutphen
.
IT
is
a
common
saieng
,
that
loue
couereth
and
turneth
all
things
to
the
best
,
euen
as
hatred
(
to
the
contrarie
)
taketh
&
construeth
all
things
to
the
woorst
.
What
the
Quéene
of
England
hath
latelie
on
these
parts
doone
for
vs
,
wherein
also
my
lord
the
Erle
of
Leicester
was
pleased
in
his
owne
person
to
be
imploied
for
our
sakes
,
is
sufficientlie
knowne
to
all
men
of
any
iudgement
.
If
the
same
hath
bin
doone
vnto
the
thankefull
or
to
the
vngratefull
,
to
welwillers
,
or
to
dissemblers
,
may
be
perceiued
out
of
the
spe●ches
of
them
that
are
dailie
talking
of
the
treason
doone
by
Colonell
Stanley
within
Deuenter
,
and
Capteine
Yorke
in
the
Sconce
before
Zutphen
.
But
those
that
talke
of
it
indifferentlie
,
will
not
nor
cannot
laye
the
blame
on
the
English
nation
,
but
to
acknowledge
,
that
one
man
ought
not
to
beare
the
blame
of
an
others
fault
:
much
lesse
then
a
whole
kingdome
beare
the
blame
for
the
fault
of
one
,
two
,
or
three
traitors
.
If
that
might
be
so
,
then
ought
we
not
to
trust
anie
one
of
the
Lords
of
the
Lowe
countries
,
among
the
which
,
such
treacherous
vngodlie
traitors
haue
beene
found
:
as
in
our
time
,
the
Lord
of
Ville
,
who
did
most
lamentablie
betraie
the
Towne
of
Groeninghen
,
and
caused
to
be
murthered
the
most
vertuous
Burghma●ster
that
he
could
find
in
the
whole
Towne
,
which
procured
these
bloudie
ciuill
wars
,
for
our
punishment
to
happen
amongst
vs.
Also
in
Flanders
the
Prince
of
Chimay
,
who
professing
the
reformed
religion
,
yea
comming
from
the
Lords
Supper
,
did
not
onelie
betraie
and
deliuer
into
the
hands
of
the
enimie
the
Towne
of
Bridges
,
but
also
the
whole
gouernment
of
Flanders
.
And
before
him
the
Lord
of
Bours
,
who
hath
betraied
&
deliuered
Mechelen
:
the
Lord
of
Florence
Phillip
Ville
Lamotte
,
Graueling
.
The
Marquesse
of
Berghen
,
the
castell
of
Wowe
:
the
Lord
of
Fresyn
,
Breda
.
We
omit
the
Generall
that
tooke
in
Brussell
treacherouslie
,
and
the
Lowe
countrie
Collonell
that
would
haue
betraied
Berghen
op
Soome
,
but
through
his
vnskilfulnesse
,
could
not
deliuer
it
,
with
innumerable
others
too
long
to
be
rehearsed
.
With
which
faults
we
neuer
would
,
nor
desired
to
charge
the
nation
of
the
Lowe
countries
:
neither
Princes
,
nor
prouinces
,
who
receiued
and
placed
them
(
notwithstanding
all
faithfull
warning
)
to
be
Gouernours
.
But
héere
may
it
be
knowne
of
what
nature
these
good
people
be
,
which
for
the
fault
of
Stanley
and
Yorke
,
cause
the
whole
English
nation
to
be
suspected
.
But
if
they
be
particular
persons
,
they
erre
either
by
ignorance
,
or
else
they
themselues
bearing
a
traiterous
minde
,
would
rather
haue
the
Spaniards
then
the
Englishmen
.
If
they
be
publike
persons
,
either
they
are
of
the
same
condition
,
or
els
would
rather
remaine
maisters
themselues
.
How
so
euer
it
be
,
they
shew
that
they
beare
neither
faith
nor
loue
vnto
hir
Maiestie
,
his
Excellencie
,
nor
to
the
people
of
England
,
séeing
they
turne
all
things
to
the
woorst
,
to
the
great
preiudice
of
the
guiltlesse
.
If
there
had
not
béene
great
spite
and
iniurious
high
minde
borne
both
to
hir
Maiestie
and
his
Excellencie
,
in
steed
of
thankefulnesse
,
and
namelie
by
those
that
should
haue
béene
a
great
while
agoe
vnder
the
yoake
of
the
enimies
,
if
the
Almightie
GOD
had
not
bent
the
heart
of
hir
sacred
Maiestie
to
assist
vs.
Which
soundeth
euen
thus
,
as
if
wee
would
scorne
at
all
Princes
and
Potentates
,
when
as
wee
haue
vsed
their
helpe
to
succour
vs
in
our
distresse
.
Kings
and
Princes
which
in
our
affaires
and
matters
past
,
haue
vndertaken
to
venter
heerein
their
monie
and
subiects
,
ought
not
by
such
vniust
censure
to
bee
displeased
,
and
thereby
prouoked
to
alter
their
good
meaning
.
It
may
be
thought
bad
inough
,
that
when
sir
Phillip
Sidney
hath
on
these
parts
shed
his
blood
,
and
lost
his
life
,
and
an
innumerable
number
of
English
Souldiors
,
loste
their
liues
and
perished
for
want
:
Also
certeine
summes
of
money
was
brought
out
of
England
hether
,
and
consumed
:
and
yet
notwithstanding
,
wee
stand
still
in
need
of
further
helpe
.
If
then
I
saye
we
should
enter
into
such
dealings
,
wee
erre
greatlie
,
and
declare
by
our
vnthankfulnesse
,
that
(
not
onelie
)
wee
doo
not
desire
anye
further
aide
,
but
also
determine
to
recompense
the
great
good
and
vnspeakeable
pleasures
past
and
done
vnto
vs
with
méere
vnthankfulnesse
.
The
English
Lordes
and
Gentlemen
haue
béene
conuersant
among
vs
with
all
freendlinesse
,
courtesies
,
and
good
example
,
they
haue
little
regarded
to
venter
their
bodies
and
lines
for
vs
,
as
for
their
owne
natiue
countrie
,
inhabitants
,
and
kindered
.
They
haue
neither
desired
of
vs
lande
or
liuing
,
Lordships
or
iurisdictions
,
but
to
the
contrarie
,
haue
oftentimes
declared
,
that
if
they
maye
bring
to
passe
to
rid
these
countreis
of
Spanish
tyrannie
,
and
made
with
vs
an
euerlasting
couenant
,
to
aide
,
helpe
,
and
to
defend
each
other
(
as
themselues
)
that
then
they
should
desire
no
greater
blisse
of
the
Almightie
God
,
nor
of
vs
anye
other
thankefulnesse
or
recompence
.
Wee
haue
tried
and
had
experience
in
our
countries
,
aswell
of
Spanish
,
French
,
Scottish
,
Italian
,
Hungarians
,
Polanders
,
Highdutch
,
Wallons
,
yea
,
almoste
all
kinde
of
Nations
:
their
tyrannie
,
vnfaithfulnesse
,
falsehood
,
droonkennesse
,
whooredome
,
forceing
of
women
,
rauishing
of
yoonge
maidens
,
vnnaturall
and
intollerable
viciousnesse
,
ambition
,
and
rapines
without
ceasing
.
Wherefore
being
of
some
tyrannised
,
of
others
deceiued
,
we
are
iustlie
fallen
from
them
,
and
conuerting
our selues
to
a
godlie
Christian
Princesse
.
Yea
,
a
Princesse
,
which
when
wee
were
reiected
and
forsaken
of
other
Kings
and
Potentates
,
hath
not
onelie
sent
to
our
aide
and
succour
,
Earles
Lordes
,
Gentlemen
and
Souldiers
,
of
whose
modestie
,
sobrietie
,
vertue
,
and
freendlie
conuersation
,
we
are
to
yeeld
thanks
vnto
aboue
all
other
nations
,
but
also
hath
ordeined
such
a
Prince
for
our
gouernour
,
as
none
hath
béene
hithe●to
knowne
in
these
parts
to
excell
him
,
in
godlinesse
,
vertue
,
righteousnesse
,
fréendlinesse
,
liberalitie
,
courtesie
,
and
kindlinesse
.
Who
hath
also
declared
in
euerie
place
where
he
came
,
that
he
wisheth
no
other
pleasure
of
his
age
,
then
that
in
dooing
the
worke
of
his
Lord
GOD
faithfullie
,
he
might
assure
and
seale
vnto
vs
the
freedom
of
our
lands
and
consciences
,
against
his
and
our
enimies
,
with
his
owne
bloud
.
Euen
as
all
those
that
haue
beene
in
the
field
with
him
,
must
confesse
with
vs
,
that
they
neuer
sawe
him
merrier
and
better
disposed
,
then
when
he
might
come
in
the
sight
of
his
enimie
,
yea
which
is
more
,
when
as
some
Lordes
were
somewhat
dismaied
at
the
approching
of
the
en●mie
,
which
hee
vtterlie
disliking
,
and
shewing
himselfe
to
be
highlie
displeased
,
would
aske
them
this
question
:
If
then
they
thought
to
liue
heere
for
euer
.
Hir
Maiestie
thus
hauing
sent
vnto
vs
such
a
Prince
,
witnessing
therby
,
how
greatlie
shée
dooth
loue
&
esteeme
of
vs
,
&
we
on
the
other
part
,
hauing
receiued
such
innumerable
&
vnestimable
benefits
,
&
we
yet
(
neuertheles
)
standing
still
in
great
need
of
the
continuance
therof
,
why
should
we
then
either
doo
vnto
hir
such
vnreasonable
and
detestable
wrong
,
or
once
offer
,
or
suffer
it
to
be
doone
or
offered
,
in
charging
the
English
nation
with
the
fault
of
one
or
two
Traitors
.
And
if
we
charge
them
therewith
,
what
should
we
declare
thereby
,
otherwise
then
that
we
mind
to
depart
from
hir
,
reiect
hir
aide
,
and
reward
the
great
pleasure
and
comfort
doone
vnto
vs
,
with
displeasure
and
discourtesie
.
Finallie
,
if
we
would
prouoke
hir
Maiesties
displeasure
against
vs
,
it
is
euen
like
as
if
we
should
couet
to
be
led
like
Buffes
by
the
nose
,
from
hir
bountifulnes
vnder
the
Spanish
tyrannie
,
from
hir
godlinesse
into
the
vngodlie
papistrie
,
and
to
be
driuen
vnder
the
yooke
,
like
as
a
people
vnworthie
,
vnhappie
,
and
most
slauish
kind
of
creatures
.
Some
say
that
in
England
manie
Traitors
are
punished
,
whose
quarters
are
to
be
seene
round
about
London
in
great
number
.
But
would
to
God
there
were
in
other
places
moe
Londons
,
about
the
which
might
be
seene
the
quarters
of
the
traitors
,
which
in
other
places
escape
their
deserued
punishment
:
then
should
it
be
seene
and
knowne
,
that
the
Spanish
Duckets
and
Pistolets
,
are
of
as
great
force
in
other
places
as
in
England
.
Treason
is
verie
bad
euerie
where
,
but
farre
woorsse
where
it
is
not
punished
:
the
standing
quarters
in
England
shew
Gods
blessing
vpon
that
nation
,
who
dooth
reueale
them
,
and
the
iustice
of
the
countrie
that
doth
punish
them
.
But
where
some
times
they
stand
not
abroad
in
shew
,
betokeneth
Gods
cursse
,
and
the
countrie
sleeping
or
iustice
oppr●ssed
.
It
is
hard
and
dangerous
to
practise
secret
Treason
in
England
against
the
Queene
,
but
most
easie
and
without
danger
against
the
state
where
manie
heads
gouerne
.
For
,
be
it
so
that
the
King
of
Spaine
would
make
war
on
these
countries
with
traitors
,
what
need
were
it
for
him
to
p●t
his
secret
fréends
in
danger
,
seeing
that
the
greatest
seruice
they
could
doo
vnto
him
,
should
be
partlie
in
shortening
the
deliuered
vse
of
the
souereigne
power
,
which
is
aboue
all
things
most
needfull
in
the
handling
of
our
matters
,
partlie
in
the
seuering
of
the
resolutions
,
slacknesse
,
and
great
number
of
reports
,
in
prolonging
of
executions
,
all
which
they
could
or
might
cloake
and
colour
with
faire
trimmed
fauourable
pretexts
and
protestations
of
our
priuileges
,
which
otherwise
should
bee
vtterlie
vnpossible
to
bee
obteined
.
But
it
is
the
papists
money
,
whereby
manie
people
are
deceiued
,
and
sedcued
to
vndertake
such
dangerous
attempts
,
though
the
papists
themselues
are
not
to
boast
of
anye
such
vngodlie
déeds
,
shewing
thereby
their
kind
,
that
they
haue
the
Diuell
to
their
father
,
who
from
the
beginning
hath
béene
a
lier
and
a
murtherer
.
And
as
touching
the
faithfull
,
they
are
to
impute
all
this
to
the
prouidence
and
appointment
of
God
,
who
suffereth
such
things
to
happen
for
a
better
meane
to
stirre
vp
our
slumbring
mindes
,
to
take
the
matter
in
hande
with
greater
and
more
feruent
zeale
,
and
to
praye
and
beseech
the
most
highest
God
,
that
it
may
please
him
to
blesse
vs
in
such
sort
in
these
countries
,
in
the
disclosing
of
such
trecherie
,
as
he
hath
blessed
the
Queene
of
England
before
our
eies
:
and
to
grant
vs
at
last
,
(
for
asmuch
as
he
ordeineth
all
kingdomes
and
gouernements
)
that
such
a
vertuous
,
godlie
,
and
blessed
Princesse
,
may
haue
the
gouernment
ouer
vs.
Whom
God
long
preserue
to
the
vnspeakeable
comfort
of
all
afflicted
Christians
.
Amen
.
