contract a mariage betweene her and Philip. Then againe into Spaine to the said Philip there to cause him to ratifie the conuented Articles Also for Queene ELIZABETH he went Ambassador to the Emperour Maximilian there likewise to contract a match betweene her and Charles Duke of Austria Hee was Lord Deputy of Ireland Gouernor of the Northerne Prouinces of England also the Queenes Chamberlaine chiefe Iustice in Eire of all her Maiesties Forests Parkes and Chases beyond the Riuer Trent famous for the victories hee had obtained against the Hebrides and Scots that made spoile of the frontiers Dyed at London after he had been afflicted with a long disease leauing no issue behinde him albeit hee had had two wiues the Lady Elizabeth Wriothesly and the Lady Francis Sidney and his brother Henry succeeded him in the Earledome Henry Wriothesly likewise Earle of Southampton paid like tribute vnto death a man much deuoted to the Roman Religion and to the Queene of Scots which hee bought with the anger of his Queene and restraint or libertie He was sonne to Tho Wriothesly who for his tryed vertues by Henry the 8 from the dignitie of Baron of Wriothesly of Tichfield and Knight of the Order of the Garter was aduanced to that soueraigne greatnesse of being Chancelor of England and appointed him one of the supervisors of his last Will. And by Edward the 6 he was graced with the style of Earle of Southampton Hee left by his Wife Daughter of Anthony Browne Viscount Mountague Henry his sonne that succeeded him and a Daughter maried to Thomas Lord Arundel Baron of Wardour About the same time Sir Humphrey Gilbert Knight a man acute and deliberate esteemed industrious both in Peace and Warre was by the raging Ocean depriued of life returning from the North parts of America which we call New-found-Land whither he a little before hauing sold his patrimonie made a voyage in hope to build there a Colonie And there by the sound of a Trumpet proclaimed the Countrey to be vnder the English regency For Sebastian Cabot in the yeare 1497 vnder the Reigne of Henry the 7 made the first discouery therof And then diuided the Land seuerally to his companions But he was taught too late by the deuouring seas and default of meanes which forc'd him to breake off his designes teaching others also by his example that it is a matter of greater difficulty by the expences of a priuate man to plant a Colony in farre distant Countries then he and others blind in their owne errors haue to their vtter ouerthrow perswaded themselues Vpon the same instant Edmund Grindal Archbishop of Canterbury Metropolitan and Primate of England being blind and aged aboue sixty yeares breathed his last Who at his returne from exile which hee endured vnder the Reigne of Queene MARY was first inuested Bishop of London then Archbishop of Yorke and finally of Canterbury liuing much honoured with the fauour of Queene ELIZABETH vntill by the foule deceits and treacheries of his enemies hee was suspected to be a fauourer of the Conuenticles of those turbulent Ministers and such as were called Prophets But the reason was indeed because hee condemned as vnlawfull the mariage of Iulius an Italian Physician with another mans wife which much distasted the Earle of Leicester Such small meanes as he had gathered he bestowed in the founding of a Schoole at Saint Bee in Cumberland where hee was borne and to the aduancement of Learning on both the Vniuersities The English besides is bound to him for the bringing in of Tamariske or Tamarin into England for hauing found by experience that it was a soueraigne remedie against the great and indurate passion of the Spleene hee was the first that caused it to be planted there Iohn Whitgift was his successor being aduanced from the Sea of Worcester to the Archbishopricke of Canterbury a man of singular goodnesse and learning He obtained much commendation for his Iustice in the precedencie of Wales and likewise for his great doctrine in the defence of the Ecclesiasticall policy which by his worth wisedome and patience he dayly increased The Queene who held for a maxime that she ought not to be more remisse in Ecclesiasticall affaires then in politick aboue all cōmanded him to re-establish the discipline of the Church of England that as then lay dismembred by the conniuency of Prelates the obstinacie of innouators and by the power of some great ones whilst some Ministers couertly impugned the authoritie of the Queene in things Ecclesiasticall separating the administration of the Sacrament from the preaching of the Word vsing to their owne fantasie new rites of seruices in their priuate houses vtterly condemning the Lethargie and the appointed manner of adminishing the Sacrament as being in many things contrarie to the holy Scripture and therefore many refused to goe to Church but openly became Schismaticks the Papists all this while applauding them and drawing many to their party as though there had been no vnity in the Church of England To abolish which things and to reduce them to an vnitie Hee propounded these Articles to the Ministers by them to bee subscribed FIrst That the Queene had Soueraigne power ouer all those that were borne within her Dominions of what conditions so euer they were and that no other Stranger Prince or Prelate ought to haue any power either Ciuill or Ecclesiasticall within her Maiesties Realmes Secondly that the Booke of Common Prayers and that of the ordination of Bishops and Priests contained not any thing contrarie to the Word of God but might be lawfully vsed and that they should vse that and no other forme of Prayer or administring of the Sacraments Thirdly That they should approue and allow of the Articles of the Synode holden at London the yeare 1562 published by royall Authoritie and should hold them as conformable to the Word of God But it is incredible what Controuersies and Disputations arose vpon this what hatred and reproach hee endured of the factious Ministers what troubles and iniuries hee suffered of certaine Noblemen who by placing men vnfit in the Church increased their estate or else had hopes vpon the goods of the Church But by his constancie and patience he ouercame all difficulties vsing for his Motto this which he chose not rashly Vincit qui patitur Neither was the Church onely tossed and turmoiled by those people within the Realme but by others who had left the Kingdome as by R. Browne a Cambridge Diuine of whom the new Sectaries were called Brownists and by R. Harison Master of an inferiour Schoole For these men presuming to iudge of Religion according to their owne imaginations by certaine books which they set forth at that time in the Countrey of Zealand and dispersed through many places in England vtterly condemned the Church of England as no Church Which bookes notwithstanding were prohibited by Royall Authoritie and strongly confuted by many learned men and two
thought to haue excited the hatred of mine own which my greatest enemies hitherto could neuer doe But their wisdome was out of season their designes too farre aduanced and they haue not regarded the euent And I haue easily discouered by these things who haue beene iust on my behalfe and who haue not and doe see well that all your Assembly is composed of foure sorts of persons For some haue beene Architects and Authors others Actors who with sweet words haue perswaded who being perswaded haue accorded to that which was propounded others who haue maruelled at this audacitie kept silence and those in truth are the more excusable Thinke you that I contemne your good and safetie that you ground vpon a Successor or that I will infringe your libertie So farre am I from that that I haue not so much as thought of it For I haue considered that it behooued you to retyre from the pit into which you runne head-long Euery thing hath his season Peraduenture you shall haue after me a wiser Prince but not that loues you more than I doe I know not if I shall liue to see such Assemblies once more but take heede of offending the patience of your Prince and notwithstanding take it for a certaine truth that I haue a good opinion of the most part of you and that I loue you all with all my heart as heretofore Thus the wisdome of a Woman quieted these stirres the time which became clearer caused such a calme that beside the seditious and timorous few were since found to storme for a Successour And certainely all men what face soeuer they set vpon it doe not penetrate more deepely into publique affaires than they finde it necessary for their owne particular Yet that the Successour should more plainely appeare which shee thought could not be doubted of she imprisoned Thornton Reader of the Law at Lincolnes Inne in London because the Queene of Scotland had complained that he called her right in question In these Assemblies of the States besides other things which were for the good of the Common-wealth it was declared with the generall consent of all THat the election consecration and instalment of Arch-bishops and Bishops of England which many by calumniating them had called in question was lawfull and well and duely consecrated according to the Acts and Statutes of the Realme And ordained that all these and those which for the time to come should be consecrated as they had beene were and should be holden well and duely consecrated notwithstanding any Law or Canon For the Papists had detracted them as false Bishops peraduenture because the Vnction the Ring and the Crozier were not vsed with the Benedictions and as if they had not beene solemnely instituted to this Order by three Bishops which could bring their ordination rising from the Apostolique authority receiued from Christ although they most truely could as appeares by the Registers hauing beene consecrated with godly prayers deuout inuocation of the holy Ghost the imposition of hands of such Bishops the preaching of the Word and celebration of the Lords Supper About that time after they had restrained the insolency of some Ruffians who violated these delators which the vulgar call Promoters pursued them through the streetes with cryes and clamours and killed them came the day appointed for the baptizing of the Prince of Scotland The Queene hauing beene intreated to receiue him at the sacred Font sent the Earle of Bedford with the Lauor made of massie Gold for a Present of State and commanded him expresly all the English which accompany him to take heed that they honour Darley with the Title of KING The ceremony being ended the Earle according as he had beene commanded treated with the Queene of Scotland to haue the Treaty of Edenborrough ratified and to accord the domesticke discords which were betweene her and her Husband For some ill-willers both to the one and the other had by craft ruined this agreeable societie of life and loue which was betweene them Shee refused to make this ratification alledging this reason That there was in that Treaty some Articles that did derogate the right which shee and her Children had to England neuerthelesse promised to send Commissioners into England which should treat about it for the altering of some things to wit that she should leaue off the Title and armes of England as long as Queene ELIZABETH or any of hers should liue as if the Treaty had imported that she should giue it ouer altogether and they they should let her see what iniuries shee had receiued by the wicked practices of those which too much abused the ingenious credulitie of her Husband And finding her selfe vnhealthfull shee recommended her Sonne to the trust and Gardianship of Queene ELIZABETH by Letters bearing That although shee knew well I vse her owne termes shee was by right the vndoubted Heire of England after the Queene and that many at their pleasure forged many things against this right She promised neuerthelesse she would not presse her any more to a declaration of it but that shee would assist and adhere to her alwaies and against all with all her affection In the yeere 1566. there dyed two of the Lords of her

A Little before the Commissioners from the Queene of Scotland were arriued a moneth or two after the christening of the Prince of Scotland the King at the age of one and twenty yeers was strangled in his bed in the dead time of the night a dreadfull and horrible wickednesse which was detested of all honest men afterwards throwne into his Garden the House being blowne vp with Gun-powder The report of it being spread through both the Kingdomes the crime was cast vpon Morton Murray and their Confederates who insulting ouer the weaker Sex laide it vpon the Queene Which by bookes as also a Libell written by Buchanan which was imprinted none can be ignorant of But being of the party and carryed away by Murray's bountie the bookes were condemned to be false by the Councell and State of Scotland to which more credit is to be giuen and as I haue heard he himself to the King whose Schoolemaster he was reprehended himselfe for it that hee had vsed so poysonous a penne against the Queene and being ready to dye he wished but to liue so long that hee might take away the staine which he
