up a White Flagge and desired Parlee but Parlee was denyed because he had combined with Rebells with whom it is not lawfull to hold Parlee Then he demanded that his Company might passe away with their Baggage but neither would this be granted Then he required ●hat some of the chiefer sort might have leave to depart but neither could this be obtained At last when they could prevail in nothing they hanged out the white Flagge again and submitted themselves absolutely without any condition to the Deputies mercy who presently consulteth how to deal with them and this was the Case Their number was well neer as great as the English there was present fear of danger from the Rebells and the English were so destitute of meat and apparell that they were ready to mutiny unlesse they might have the spoyl granted them and besides there were no ships neither to send them away if they were spared For these Reasons it was concluded the Deputy gain-saying and letting tears fall That onely the Leaders should be saved the rest all slain and all the Irish hanged up which was presently put in execution to the great disliking of the Queen who detested the slaughter of such as yeelded themselves and would accept of any excuses or allegations And yet more cruelty then this was at that time committed in the Netherlands for Iohn Norris and Oliver Temple English Commanders together with some Companies of Dutch setting out early one morning took Mechlyn a wealthy Town of Brabant at an assault with ladders where they promiscuously murthered both Citizens and Religious Persons offering violence even upon the dead taking away Grave-stones which were sent into England to be sold. About this time certain English Priests who were fled into the Netherlands in the yeer 1568 by the procurement of William Allen an Oxford Schollar joyned themselves to study at Doway where they entred into a Collegiate Form of Government to whom the Pope allowed a yeerly Pension But tumults arising in the Low-Countries and the English Fugitives being commanded by the King of Spains Deputy to depart from thence other the like Colledges for the trayning up of the English youth were erected one at Rheims by the Guises and another at Rome by Pope Gregory the thirteenth which alwayes afforded new ●upplyes of Priests for England when the old fayled who should spread abroad the seeds of the Romish Religion here amongst us from whence those Colledges had the name of Seminaries and they called Seminary-Priests who were trayned up in them In these Seminaries amongst other Disputations it was concluded That the Pope hath such fulnesse of Power by Divine Right over the whole Christian world both in Ecclesiasticall and Secular matters that by vertue thereof it is lawfull for him to excommunicate Kings absolve their subjects from their Oath of Allegiance and deprive them of their Kingdoms From these Seminaries at this time there came two into England Robert Parsons and Edmund Campian both of them English-men and Jesuites Parsons was born in Somerset-shire a fierce and rough conditioned fellow Campian was a Londoner of a milder disposition They had been both brought up in Oxford Campian a Fellow of St. Iohn's Colledge and had been Proctor in the yeer 1569 and when he was made Deacon counterfeited himself to be a Protestant till such time as he slipped out of England Parsons was of Baylioll Colledge where he made open profession of the Protestant Religion till for dishonest carriage he was expelled the House and then fled to the Popish Party Both these came privily into England in the disguise one while of Souldiers another while of Noble-men sometimes like English Ministers and sometimes in the habit of Apparitors Parsons who was made the Superiour brake forth into such open words amongst the Papists about deposing the Queen that some of themselves had a purpose to complain of him to the Magistrates Campian though something more moderate yet in a Writing provoked the English Ministers to a dispu●e and published in Latine an Elegant Book of his ten Reasons in maintenance of the Doctrine of the Romish Church as Parsons in like manner set forth another violent Pamphlet against Clark who had written modestly against Campians Provoca●ion But Doctor Whitaker soundly confuted Campian who being after a yeer apprehended and put upon the Rack was afterward brought out to a Disputation where he scarcely made good the great fame that went of him In this yeer was the return of Captain Drake from his incredible Voyage round about the World which Magellan had before attempted but died in the Voyage whereof to rela●e all particular accidents would require a large Volume It may suffice in this place to deliver some speciall Passages He was born of mean Parentage in Devon-shire yet had a great man Francis Russell after Earl of Bedford to be his God-father His father in K. Henry the eighth's time being persecuted for a Protestant changed his Soyl and lived close in Kent K. Henry being dead he got a place amongst the Marriners of the Queens Navy to reade Prayers and afterward bound his son Fran●is to a Ship-Master who in a Ship which went to and fro upon the Coast with Commodities one while to Zealand another while to France trayning him up to pains and skill at Sea who afterward dying took such a liking to him that he bequeathed his Barque to him by his Will This Barque Drake sold and then in the yeer 1567 went with Sir Iohn Hawkins into America in which Voyage he unfortunately lost all he had Five yeers after having gotten again a good sum of Money by Trading and Pyracy which the Preacher of his Ship told him was lawfull he bought a Ship of Warre and two small Vessells with which he set Sayl again for America where his first Prize was great store of Gold and Silver carryed over the Mountains upon Mules whereof the Gold he brought to his Ships but left the Silver hiding it under ground After this he fired a great place of Traffique called The Crosse at the River Chiruge when roaming to and fro upon the Mountains he espyed the South Sea where falling upon his knees he craved assistance of Almighty God to finde out that passage which he reserveth for another Voyage and for the present having gotten much riches he returned home Afterwards in the yee● 1577 the thirte●●th day of November with five Ships and Sea-men to the number of 163 he set Sayl from Plimmo●th for the Southern Sea and within five and twenty dayes came to Cantyne a Cap● in Ba●b●ry and then sayled along by the Isl● of F●g● which sends forth ●●emes of Sulphur and being now un●e● the Line he let every one in his Ships blood The sixteenth of Ap●●l entring into the mouth of the Plate● they espyed a world of Sea-Calves in which place Iohn-●oughty the next to Drake in Authority was called in question for raising Sedition in the Navy w●o being found guilty was beheaded

Sir Edward Baynton and others The last of October the Duke of Albonye sent two or three thousand men over the water to bes●edge the Castle of VVarke who by battery of their Ordnance won the ou●ermost Ward called the Barnekins and continuing their battery won the second Ward but then Sir William Lisle that was Captaine of the Castle issuing forth with those few he had left drove the Fr●nch-m●n from the place and slew of them to the number of three hundred a memorable service and for which the Earle of Surrey afterwards gave him great thankes The Earle would gladly have followed his enemies in●o their owne Borders but that his Commission was onely to defend England and not to invade Scotland Shortly after the Quee●e of Scots Mother to the King sent to her Brother the King of England for an abstinence from Warre till a further communication might be had which being gra●●ed the English Army brake up and the Earle of Surrey returned to the Court.

the King and Queene At this time in the moneth of October the Cardinall sent out Commissions that every man being worth forty pounds should pay the whole Subsedie before granted out of hand which he called an Anticipation which fine new word he thought would make them pay their money the more willingly but they loved their money better then any words he could devise In this yeere the King sent the Lord Morley Sir VVilliam Hussey knight and Doctor Lee his Almoner to F●rdinand Archduke of Austria with the Order of the Garter which he received in the towne of Norimberg to his great contentment In this yeere through Bookes of Prognosticat●ons foreshewing much hurt to come by waters and ●●oods many persons withdrew themselves to high grounds for feare of drowning specially one Bolton Prior of

having notice he set upon them with a far greater number and slew most of them and this was the end of the Kreekers as brave men as ever served any Prince In December this yeere there came to London diverse Embassadours out of Scotland about a peace to be had● and a mariage to be concluded between the King of Scots and the Lady Mary daughter to the King of England At this time the Lord Leonard

the Ring away from him and after a while takes it up again terribly exclayming against the Levity and inconstancie of Women The Queen at this time was much troubled at a Book lately put forth with this Title The Gulph wherein England will be swallowed by the French Marriage whereof conceiving that some Puritan was the Author it made her highly displeased with the Puritans whereupon within a few dayes Iohn Stubbes of Lincolnes-Inne a Zealous Professour and the Author of this booke w●ose sister Thomas Cartwright the father of the Puritants had married William Page that dispersed the copies and Singleto● the Printer were apprehended● against whom Sentence was pronounced That their Right hand should be cut off● by vertue of a Law made in the Raigne of Phillip and Ma●ie against the A●thors and dispersers of Seditious Writings though the cheife Lawyers and Judges of the Kingdom could not agree concerning the f●●ce of that

against Duells and single Comb●ts and a strict Law was made in Parliament against stabbing with a dagger o● knife making it to be wilfull Murther Affayres of the Church in his time THe King as a Religious Prince desiring nothing so much as to settle Peace in the Church and hearing of some dissensions of his Divines in points of Religion in the very first yeare of his Raigne appointed a Conference to bee holden before himselfe at Hamp●on Court to which were called diverse Bishops Deanes and Doctors of one side and of the other foure eminent Divines namely Doctor Reynolds Doctor Sparkes Mr. Knewstabbs and Mr. Chadderton who all meeting before the King the 14 day of Ianuary the King first signified the cause of his calling them together and then told them he was there ready to heare what they could object or say against the present Government of the Church whereupon Doctor Reynolds being their Foreman redu●ed all matters disliked or questioned to these foure Heads 1. First that the doctrine of the Church might be preserved in purity acco●ding to Gods Word 2. That good Pastours might be plan●ed in all Church●s to preach the same 3. That the Church Government might be sincerely administred according to the Word of God 4. That the Book of Common Prayer might be fitted to more encrea●e of Piety Out of these Heads he drew and moved divers points One that Confirmation might not be by Bishops only but that every Pastour in his Parish might Confirme but this was thought to trench too much upon the Iurisdiction of Bi●hop● and to be a step to bring in a Presbiterian government which the King much misliked and the Bishop of Winchester challenged Dr. Reynolds with a●● his learning to shew where ever he had read that Confirmation was at a●● used in antient times by any other than by Bishops Another motion of Doc●o● Reynolds was That there might be a new Translation of the Bible beca●se the present from sevenscore to two hundred so he increased their Pensions from two shillings a day for three moneths in the summer to seven groats a day for six moneths in the summer Then where at his comming he found but only foure Iudges in the Courts of Law at Westminster hee added a fifth with the like allowance as the former had besides many other Pensions of like nature But the works of Piety done by others in his time were very many whereof we may justly set in the first place the repairing of Pauls Church begun in his time though not finished till many yeares after a worke of as great cost and labour as the first founding it towards the furtherance whereof though many well devoted persons contributed liberally yet none was more industrious than the learned Doctor Laud first Bishop of London and after Arch-bishop of Canterburie who also was a bountifull Benefactor to the Colledge of Saint Iohns in Oxford where he had his Education Next to him his Predecessor next before him the worthy George Abbot Arch-Bishop of Canterburie founded a faire Almes-house at Croydon in Surrie as likewise Robert the second Earle of Dorset founded another in Sussex to the maintenance whereof hee gave Lands to the value of three hundred pounds a yeare But of all the Almes-houses that were ever founded in Christendome there is none I thinke can parallell that of Thomas Sutton Esquire This man borne at Snayth in Lincoln-shire having alwayes lived a Batchelour and by sundrie imployments and parcimony being growne to great wealth bought of the right Honourable Thomas Earle of Suffolk his Mansion house called the Charter-house neare to Smithfield in London and out of a pious mind converted it into an Almes-house by the name of Suttons Hospitall endousing the same with above three thousand pounds of yearely rent wherein are maintained fourescore poore men with convenient lodging dyet and allowance of money for apparell also forty poore children with the like provision and a Grammer Schoole with a Master and Vsher to teach them overall whom hee ordained a learned man to bee Master of the houshold and to be chosen by the Governours whom he appoynted for the present by the Authority of the Kings Letters Patents to be George Arch-Bishop of Canterburie Thomas Lord Elsmore Lord Chancellour Robert Earle of Salisburie Lord Treasurer Iohn Bishop of London La●ncel●t Bishop of Ely Sir Edward Cook chiefe Iustice of the Common Pl●as Sir Thomas Foster a Iudge of the Common Pleas Sir Henrie Hubbard the Kings Atturney generall Doctor Overall Deane of Pauls Doctor Mountaine Deane of W●stminster Henrie Thursby Esquire Master of the Chancerie Richard Sutton Esquire Auditor of the Imprests Ieff●rie Nightingall Esquire Iohn Low Gentleman Thomas Browne Gentleman and Master of the Houshold for the time being to bee alwayes one and as any of these six●eene Governours should dye the Survivers to make present addition of others Next to this was a faire Colledge in Oxford founded by Nicholas Wil be Esquire and called after his name About this time also Edward Allin of Dulwich in Surrie founded a faire Hospitall at Dulwich for six poore men and six poor women and for twelve poore children from the age of foure or six yeares to be there maintained and taught till the age of foureteen or sixteen and to have a Schoolemaster with dyet and a convenient stipend This man may be an example who having gotten his wealth by Stage-playing converted it to this pious use● not without a kind of repu●ation to the Society of Players In this Kings time also William Cambden King at Armes founded an Historie Professor in Oxford to which hee gave the Mannor of Bexley in Kent which some yeares expired will be worth foure hundred pounds a yeare In his tenth yeare Sir Baptist Hicks one of the Iustices of Peace in Middlesex who was after made Viscount C●●bden built a faire Sessions house of Brick and Stone in St. Iohns street which by the Iustices was called after his name Hicks Hall a great convenience for the Iustices who sate before in a common Inne called the Castle Hee also founded a faire Hospitall of Free stone at Cambden in Gloucester-shire for six men and six wowomen allowing each of them a yearely Gowne and two shillings six pence a week with two roomes and a garden In this Kings time George Patyn Citizen and Grocer of London gave to good uses three thousand an six hundred pounds whereof twelve hundred pounds to the two Vniversities nine hundred pounds for an Almes-house and a certaine summe of money to buy two Bells and make a Chime in Bow-Church Also Thomas Teasdale of Glympton in the Countie of Oxford Gentleman gave five thousand pounds to purchase lands for perpetuall maintenance of seven fellowes and Six Scholars to be placed in Baylyoll Colledge in Oxford and to be chosen thither from time to time out of the Free-Schoole of Abbington in Berk-shire to which Schoole he also gave lands for maintenance of an Vsher.
