euery place of the Court and be in the presence of the Quéene euerie day Then woulde I fayne to giue some gifte vnto her and so on a suddaine giue her such a gifte as should dispatche her for euer styrring more Oh villainous woordes able to make a ●lintie heart to gush foorth aboundaunce of teares to thinke that such a mercifull Princesse should haue so mercilesse an enimie especiallie that any Subiecte should but imagine such a monstrous crueltie Then quoth I vnto him admitte God dyd suffer you to doo such an horrible déede what thinke you would become of you you could not escape away but you must perforce suffer the awarde of Lawe Tushe quoth he what care I for the vttermoste crueltie they would vse to me I that could accomplishe such a famous thing would neuer respect Rack Rope nor any torment For this I knowe that the Popes holynesse would in the remembraunce of me both giue foorth Indulgences and a notable benediction which should be called after my name as the benediction for the Quéene of Scottes is and those that were giuen for Stukely the Bishoppe of Corke Doctour Allen and diuers other Then when any shall haue of my Grana Crosses Medalles and Beades they wyll say these were blessed for such a one that dyd bring to passe in Englande what coulde not be done in many yéeres before then my Beades shall be prayed vpon more then any other Beside my Indulgences should be Plenaria for euer I shoulde haue remission of all my sinnes Masses continually sayd for me all my Coūtrey and fréends haue lybertie of theyr conscience then what is hee that woulde not aduenture the extreamest hazard of his lyfe to gayne s●ch a heauenly and blessed reward I perceyue quoth he to mee you haue but a slender staye of your Faith that would feare to doo such a good déede for your Coūtrey where through your same would be registred for euer bothe in our Martirilogium as diuers of our Countrey are and also through the whole world A great deale more talke they had so trayterous and horrible that no godlie and vertuous minded can suffer to heare it So when wée came to the Seminarie againe because I had béene there but a whyle the same partie brought me theyr Martirilogium wherein hee read to me the execution of the two Nortons the death of Doctour Storie and the Martyrdome of Iohn Felton and other altogeather Imprinted in a great Booke of theyr Sayntes and Martyrs The least report of these traytours which they had there Canonized for Martyres of theyr Churche contayned 〈◊〉 or eyght shéetes in Folio 〈◊〉 of a verie small Letter but in no poynt true because I knewe my selfe the contrarie for that before I went ouer I sawe the execution of them all There were diuers other of their Martirs the discourses of their liues and deathes reserued there to be imprinted in the same Booke as of Barlowe Madder Wilkinson the Iaylor of Yorke Sherwood and Nelson sometime Sexton of the English Church in Roome all these executed at Tiborne for high Treason and there estéemed for their Martires William Filbie at the Barre would chalēge me that there was no such Booke there when I am sure not one of the other will attempt to deny it if they should they be héere in the Cittie that are able to disprooue them A number of such like trayterous spéeches and practises which on my owne knowledge I am able to report but to auoyde tediousnes as also not to offend any chaste and discréete minde I let them passe in silence desiring pardon for that which I haue alreadie set downe And now you may perceyue what affection these fellowes afforde theyr lawfull Quéene and Countrey well is he that can imagine most against her Maiestie and highlie is he estéemed that beareth the most trayterous hart to her Yet Maister Campion and the rest of his fellowes they pleade ignorance in all these causes they bolster vp one another with large protestations rayling woordes and subtyll surmises affyrming that they were not sent hyther for any such intent which is as vntrue as we knowe it for trueth that the Lord God lyueth in Heauen For this I am able to saye my selfe that both then and at diuers other tymes it was whispered among them in the Seminarie that shortlie there shoulde bée Préestes appointed for England to winne the people against the appoynted tyme when as a great Armie shoulde be ready to ioyne with them and Maister Campion who was then at Praga in Bohemia hee was spoken off amongst them all to be a rare and singuler fellowe and therefore generallie was taken for a méete man to bée sent about such a Message so that they iudged that he should be sent for to be a cheefe man in this matter Well sayth Maister Campion it maye be they had such an oppinion of me which in my selfe I finde not to be deserued and it maye be that I was appointed to be sent into Englande according as those other Préestes were for the sauing of Soules and benefite of my Countreye must it followe then that wée are sent to practise the death of the Quéene and to séeke the ruine of our Countrey Alas this is a harde case and I desyre you of the Iewrie to marke it for these are but shadowes without any substaunce This you are to note that we which enter into that blessed societie of the Iesuites we doo as it were forsake the worlde vowing our selues to chastitie and sinceritie of conscience to obeye our Superiours and to be ready to goe whether they shall appoint vs. If they send vs to the Indiaes or to any such places where the people haue not the true Catholique Faith we are bound by duetie in Conscience to goe whether they appoint vs. And shall it then be sayde that wée come for the destruction of the Prince and Countreye where wee settle our selues Alas that were a harde case for Christian charitie wylleth vs to comfort one an other and if we can to gette the Shéepe into the Folde which hath long runne a straye And when we heare confession we doo not perswade them to any disobedience for that is against the nature of Confession God forbyd that wée should once thinke any such thing Beholde the subtyll shifts that he found out still to flie vnto yea though the manifest disproofe laye before them yet would he finde some cauill or other for not onely the euidence of their generall determination beyonde the Seas was showen them but also the trayterous Articles were there read vnto them which Iohn Hart had coppyed out for Doctour Allen concerning the procéeding of these trayterous causes and for which hee went purposelie to Roome to confer with the Pope about and subscribed vnto that they were certayne and true as also theyr owne confessions and writings were layde open before them approouing them notablie guiltie of the matters
