countrie in the minoritie of the yoong king there haue risen some inward troubles which for the most part we haue in fauor of the king and his gouernors vsed meanes to pacifie so as at this daie such is the quietnesse in line 60 Scotland as the king our deare brother cousine by name Iames the sixt a prince of great hope for manie good princelie respects reigneth there in honor and loue of his people and in verie good and perfect amitie with vs and our countrie And so our actions at that time came to so good successe by the goodnesse of God as both our owne realme and that of Scotland hath euer since remained in better amitie and peace than can be remembred these manie hundred yeares before and yet nothing hereby doone by vs nor anie cause iustlie giuen but that also the French kings that haue since succéeded which haue béene thrée in number and all brethren haue made and concluded diuerse treaties for good peace with vs which presentlie continue in force on both parties notwithstanding our foresaid actions attempted for remoouing out of Scotland of the said French forces so transported by the onelie direction of the house of Guise And therefore to conclude for the declaration of our present intention at this time we hope it shall of all persons abroad be well interpreted as we know it will be of such as are not led by parcialitie that vpon the often and continuall lamentable requests made to vs by the vniuersall states of the countries of Holland Zeland Guelders and other prouinces with them vnited being desperat of the king of Spaines fauours for our succours to be yéelded to them onelie for their defense against the Spaniards and other strangers and therewith finding manifestlie by our often and importunat requests and aduises giuen to the king of Spaine no hope of reliefe of these their miseries but rather an increase thereof by dailie conquests of their townes and slaughter of their people though in verie truth we cannot impute the increase of anie late cruelties to the person of him that now hath the title of generall gouernor shewing his naturall disposition more inclinable to mercie and clemencie than it seemeth he can direct the hearts of the Spaniards vnder him that haue béene so long trained in shedding of bloud vnder the former Spanish gouernors and ioining therevnto our owne danger at hand by the ouerthrow and destruction of our neighbours and accesse and planting of the great forces of the Spaniards so néere to our countries with precedent arguments of manie troublesome attempts against our realme we did therefore by good aduise and after long deliberation determine to send certeine companies of souldiors to aid the naturall people of those countries onelie to defend them and their townes from sacking and desolation thereby to procure them safetie to the honor of God whome they desire to serue sincerelie as christian people according to his holie word and to inioie their ancient liberties for them and their posteritie and so consequentlie to preserue and continue the lawfull and ancient commerce betwixt our people and those countries and ours And so we hope our intention herein and our subsequent actions will be by Gods fauour both honorablie interpreted of all persons sauing of the oppressors themselues and their partizans in that we meane not hereby either for ambition or malice the two roots of all iniustice to make anie particular profit hereof to our selfe or to our people onelie desiring at this time to obteine by Gods fauour for the countries a deliuerance of them from warre by the Spaniards and forraines a restitution of their ancient liberties and gouernement by some christian peace and thereby a suertie for our selues and our realme to be frée from inuading neighbors and our people to inioie in those countries their lawfull commerce and intercourse of friendship merchandize according to the ancient vsage and treat●ies of intercourse made betwixt our progenitors and the lords and earles of those countries and betwixt our people and the people of those countries And though our further intention also is or maie be to take into our gard some few townes vpon the sea side next opposite to our realme which otherwise might be in danger to be taken by the strangers enimies of the countrie yet therein considering we haue no meaning at this time to take and reteine the same to our owne proper vse we hope that all persons will thinke it agreeable with good reason and princelie policie that we should haue the gard and vse of some such places for sure accesse and recesse of our people and souldiors in safetie and for furniture of them with vittels and other things requisit and necessarie whilest it shall be néedfull for them to continue in those countries for the aiding thereof in these their great calamities miseries and imminent danger and vntill the countries may be deliuered of such strange forces as doo now oppresse them and recouer their ancient lawfull liberties and maner of gouernement to liue in peace as they haue heretofore doone and doo now most earnestlie line 10 in lamentable manner desire to doo which are the verie onelie true ends of all our actions now intended howsoeuer malicious toongs maie vtter their cankred conceits to the contrarie as at this daie the world aboundeth with such blasphemous reports in writings and infamous libels as in no age the diuell hath more abounded with notable spirits replenished with all wickednesse to vtter his rage against professors of christian religion But thereof we leaue the reuenge to God the searcher of hearts line 20 hoping that he beholding the sinceritie of our heart will grant good successe to our intentions whereby a christian peace may insue to his diuine honor and comfort to all them that loue peace trulie and will séeke it sincerelie An addition to the declaration touching the slanders published of hir maiestie AFter we had finished our declaration there came to our hands a pamphlet written in Italian printed at Milan intituled Nuouo aduiso directed to the archbishop of Milan conteining a report of the expugnation of Antwerp by the prince of Parma by the which we found our selfe most maliciouslie charged with two notable crimes no lesse hatefull to the world than most repugnant and contrarie to our owne naturall inclin●●ion line 40 The one with ingratitude towards the king of Spaine who as the author saith saued our life being iustlie by sentence adiudged to death in our sisters time the other that there were some persons procured to be corrupted with great promises and that with our intelligence as the reporter addeth in a parenthesis in these words as it was said that the life of the prince of Parma should be taken awaie And for the better proouing and countenancing of this horrible lie it is further added in line 50 the said pamphlet that it pleased the Lord God to discouer this and

was to be had in any place in all the west parts of christendome In the summer of this yeare a greeuous mortalitie afflicted the north parts of this land so that the countrie became almost desolate And to the increase of that miserie the Scots thinking the time to serue th●ir turne inuaded the borders and most cruellie harried robbed and spoiled the same not letting passe any part of most cruell murthering of the people that were left aliue and not made awaie by that sore contagious sicknesse The number of cattell was infinite which they droue out of the land with them not sparing heards of swine which they tooke at this time where they neuer medled with that kind of cattell before that present Before the Scots made this iournie into England whilest the mortalitie was most in force they calling to certeine of the English borderers asked line 10 of them how it came to 〈◊〉 that so great a death reigned amongst them The Englishmen as good plaine and simple meaning men told them that trulie they knew not the cause for Gods iudgements were hid from them in such behalfe But one thing they knew that all calamitie death and aduersitie that chanced vnto them came by the speciall grace of God to the end that being punished for their sinnes they might learne to repent and amend their wicked liues The Scots hearing this when they should enter line 20 this land vnderstanding lewdlie what the Englishmen had told them concerning the disease and the grace of God deuised a blessing forsooth to be said euerie morning of the most ancient person in euerie familie as Benedicite said he Dominus said the residue Then began he againe saieng God and saint Mango saint Romane and saint Andro shield vs this daie fra Gods grace and the fewle death that Englishmen dien vpon Thus the senselesse men misconstruing this word the grace of God praied for line 30 their owne destruction which if not in this world yet for their brutish crueltie vsed at that present against the miserable creatures whom the hand of God had spared in time of that gréeuous mortalitie it is to be feared least in another world it came to them as the verie words of their praiers imported About the same time Iohn Schakell esquier was set at libertie the king compounded with him for his prisoner giuing fiue hundred marks in redie monie and lands to the value of a hundred marks by yeare line 40 When he should bring foorth his prisoner and deliuer him to the king this is to be noted as a thing verie strange and woonderfull For when he should appeare it was knowne to be the verie groome that had serued him in all the time of his trouble and would neuer vtter himselfe what he was before that time hauing serued him as an hired seruant all that while in prison and out of prison in danger of life when his other maister was murthered where if he would haue vttered himselfe he might haue beene enterteined in line 50 such honorable state as for a prisoner of his degrée had beene requisit so that the faithfull loue and assured constancie in this noble gentleman was highlie commended and praised and no lesse maruelled at of all men About the feast of S. Nicholas in this third yeare of king Richards reigne there went to sea an armie of men that should haue passed ouer into Britaine to the aid of the duke there vnder the conduct of sir Iohn Arundell sir Hugh Caluerlie sir Thomas Percie line 60 sir William Elmham sir Thomas Morews sir Thomas Banester manie other knights and esquires too long to rehearse a sufficient power vndoubtedlie to haue doone a great enterprise but they were no sooner on the sea but suddenlie there arose such an hideous tempest of wind and stormes that they looked presentlie to be all cast awaie they were scattered here and there and driuen they wist not whither The ship wherein sir Iohn Arundell was aboord chanced to be cast on the coast of Ireland and there driuen to forsake his ship that was readie to be broken in péeces by rage of waues beating it there against the rocks he was drowned before he could win to land in an I le neere to the which they had thrust in the ship To the like end came sir Thomas Banester sir Nicholas Trumpington and sir Thomas Dale impeaching each others as they leapt foorth of the ship also one Musard an esquire a most séemelie personage and a bold and an other esquier named Deni●ke being almost out of danger were fetched awaie by the surges of the sea and so perished with manie other Robert Rust a cunning seaman belonging to Blacknie in Northfolke maister of the ship wherein sir Iohn Arundell was imbarked was the first that got to land giuing example to others how to shift for themselues But when he saw his cheefe capteine the said sir Iohn Arundell got foorth to the sands and as one thinking himselfe past all danger to shake his wet garments about him the said Rust waieng the dangerous state wherein the said sir Iohn Arundell yet stood came downe and raught to him his hand inforsing himselfe to plucke him to the shore but whilest he tooke care for an other mans safetie and neglected his owne he lost his life and so they both perished togither for through a mightie billow of the raging seas they were both ouerthrowne and with returning of the waues backe drawne into the deepe so that they could neuer recouer foot-hold againe but were drowned The said Rust was much lamented bicause he was not onelie knowne to be a skilfull maister but also counselled the said sir Iohn Arundell in no wise to go to sea at what time he would needs set forward forsing the said Rust and the marriners to hoist vp sailes and make awaie They that scaped to land in that I le found nothing there to releeue their miseries but bare ground so that diuerse starued through cold wanting fier and other succour the residue that were lustie and wise withall ran vp and downe and sometime wrestling and otherwise chafing themselues remained there in great miserie from the thursdaie till sundaie at noone next insuing At what time when the sea was appeased and waxen calme the Irishmen that dwelled ouer against this I le on the maine came and fetched them thence and reléeued them the best they could being almost dead through trauell hunger and cold The said sir Iohn Arundell lost not onelie his life but all his furniture and apparell for his bodie which was verie sumptuous so that it was thought to surmount the apparell of any king For he had two and fiftie new sutes of apparell of cloth of gold or tissue as was reported all the which togither with his horsses geldings amounting to the value of ten thousand marks was lost at the sea And besides this there were lost at the same time fiue and twentie

line 20 In these conceptions no lesse strange for their varietie than great for the importance they drew and perhaps in other thoughts more secret and singular for in a mind so fierce and terrible all sorts of imaginations how great and vaine so euer they be are not incredible after the continuation of his sicknesse for manie daies he declined towards death and féeling the end of his mortalitie to hasten on and the same to preuent the execution of his high thoughts he caused to call togither the consistorie line 30 which albeit he could not assist in person by reason of his disease yet by the authoritie of it he caused to be confirmed the bull which he had published before against such as by simonie would clime vp vnto the popedome He declared that the election of his successor apperteined to the college of cardinals and not to the councell and that the cardinals schismatikes could haue no presence or communitie there to whom he protested there to pardon the iniuries they had doone him and praied to God to forgiue them the line 40 wrongs they had doone to his church After this he besought the college of cardinals that in his fauor and for his sake they would grant to the duke of Urbin his nephew the citie of Pesera in patronage or vicarage alledging the consideration that by meane of the duke it had béene recouered to the church after the death of Iohn Sforce In no other matter he expressed anie priuate or particular affection Insomuch as Madame Felice his daughter ioining line 50 with hir the petitions of manie others beseeching him with great importunitie to create cardinall Guido de Montfalcon being hir brother by the mothers side he answered roundlie that he was not worthie of that degree He made not his affections conformable to their desires In that last action of life he shewed no parcialitie in worldlie causes his present debilitie could diminish nothing of his ancient resolution but expressed in all things the same constancie and seueritie togither with that iudgement and force of mind which he had before his sicknesse line 60 in which firme estate and disposition of spirit he receiued deuoutlie the offices of the church and the one and twentith daie of Februarie he ended his course of these mortall and present paines He was a prince of incredible constancie and courage but so full of furie vnrulie conceptions that the reuerence that was borne to the church the discord of princes the conditions of times did more to staie him from his ruine than either his moderation or his discretion worthie no doubt of great glorie if either he had béene a prince secular or if that care and intention which he had to raise the church into temporall greatnesse by the meane of warre had béene imploied to exalt it by the meane of peace in matters spirituall Neuerthelesse he was lamented aboue all his predecessors no lesse estéemed of those who hauing either lost the true consideration of things or at least ignorant how to distinguish and peise

with great basilisks and other artillerie came on the borders of Sussex in the night season at a poore village there called Brighthelmston burnt it taking such goods as he found But when the people began to gather by firing the becons Prior Iehan sounded his trumpet to call his men aboord and by that time it was daie Then certeine archers that kept the watch folowed Prior Iehan to the sea and shot so fast that they beat the gallie men from the shore and wounded manie in the foist to the which Prior Iehan was constreined to wade and was shot in the face with an arrow so that he lost one of his eies and was like to haue died of the hurt and therefore he offered his image of wax before our ladie at Bullongne with the English arrow in the face for a miracle The lord admerall offended with this proud part of the Frenchmen in making such attempt on the English coasts sent sir Iohn Wallop to the sea with diuers ships which sailing to the coasts of Normandie landed there and burnt one and twentie villages and townes with diuerse ships in the hauen of Treaport Staples and other where Men maruelled greatlie at the manfull dooings of sir Iohn Wallop considering he had not past an eight

within a while after his comming thither and returned without anie more dooing The French king perceiuing what losses he had susteined by the warres against England and doubting least one euill lucke should still follow in the necke of an other determined to make sute for peace and first agr●eing with pope Leo desired him to be a meane also for the procuring of some agréement betwixt him and the

During the time of these commotions and sturs here within the realme to the great danger of the state the French king hauing knowledge thereof ment not to omit the oportunitie offered to recouer out of the Englishmens hands those fortresses which they held at Bullongne and in Bullongnois Wherevpon he gaue summons to the gentlemen and men of armes and others of his realme to put themselues in order with all their furniture that they might be readie to attend him in his armie in Bullongnois by a daie appointed And about the same time that is to saie in the beginning of August the French king purposing to surprise the Iles of Gernes●ie and Ierseie appointed certeine gallies and ships of warre to passe thither but being receiued by the king of Englands nauie that laie there and other of the Iland they were beaten backe and repelled with the losse of a thousand men as some write and so were constreined to retire without atchiuing their enterprise Credible word was brought out of France to the lord protector that into one towne in one vessell were brought at the least thrée score gentlemen to be buried also an inhibition giuen out by the French king not to speake of the euill successe of that iournie In the meane time the French king being come downe vnto Abuile departed from thence the sixtéenth of August and comming vnto Rue lodged there that night and the next daie came to Monstreull where he found the conestable and monsieur Daumalle The next daie being the eightéenth of August he came to his armie lodged foure leagues on this side Monstreull at a village called Neufcastell neere to the forrest of Ardelo vpon the waie that leadeth to Bullongne The same daie were certeine pioners sent to Pont de Bricque to repare the bridge there and to make the waies easie for the artillerie to passe The next daie the said king with his armie passed by Bullongne berg and camped that night on a little hill betwixt that forrest and the forrest of Suren In this place he caused trenches to be cast about a plot of ground after the maner of a fortresse within the which he left certeine bands of men of warre to be a safegard vnto such as should passe to and fro with vittels to furnish his campe He staied not there past a daie a halfe but remoued to Ardenton a mile or little more beyond Marguisen from thence he came with his armie and lodged on a hill somewhat more than a mile a halfe from Hambleteuue The French king hauing viewed the forts caused fiue and twentie péeces of artillerie to be planted against that fort which was built in a place called the Almaine campe but the Frenchmen named it Le fort de Selaque distant from Hambleteuue about a quarter of a mile The artillerie had not gone off little more than the space of two houres but that line 10 Charls Sturton capteine of that péece and George Willoughbie a gentleman associat with him came foorth to parlee with the Conestable offering to yéeld the fort into his hands vpon condition they might depart with bag and baggage But as they were thus in hand to make their composition the Frenchmen thrust forward to the rampiers and entered in plumps into the fortresse slue fourescore persons tooke the rest prisoners There might be in all within that péece two hundred and thirtie persons men and women This happened the foure line 20 and twentith of August being Bartholomew daie This doone the king caused part of the artillerie to be planted against the castell of Hambleteuue situated at the one end of the towne néere to the sea side Towards night monsieur de Uandosme gaue an approch to the said castell and they within by commandement of the lord Greie retired to the maine fort to helpe to furnish the same wanting numbers sufficient to defend it The next daie being line 30 the fiue and twentith of August the king caused approches to be made vnto the great fort and the morrow after the batterie began most furiouslie The same daie after dinner the king summoned them within to yéeld but the lord Iohn Greie being generall although he saw how weake the péece was of it selfe the lacke of sufficient numbers of men to

part they would take or what part anie faithfull subiect of hir maiesties ought to take To these few questions verie apt to trie the truth or falshood of any such seditious persons being iustlie before condemned for their disloialtie these lewd vnarmed traitors I say would in no wise answer directlie herto as all other faith full subiects to anie christian prince ought line 40 to doo And as they by refusall to answer directlie to these questions onelie might haue béene iustlie conuinced as guiltie of treason so yet were they not therevpon condemned but vpon all their other former actions committed both abroad in the relme which were no lesse traitorous than the actions of all other the spies and traitors and of Iudas himselfe afore remembred which had no armor nor weapon and yet at all times ought to be adiudged traitors For these disguised persons called scholers or priests hauing line 50 beene first conuersant of long time with the traitors beyond the sea in all their conspiracies came hither by stealth in time of war and rebellion by commandement of the capitall enimie the pope or his legats to be secret espials and explorers in the realme for the pope to deliuer by secret Romish tokens as it were an earnest or prest to them that should be in readines to ioine with rebels or open enimies and in like sort with their hallowed baggages from Rome to line 60 poison the senses of the subiects powring into their hearts malicious and pestilent opinions against hir maiestie and the lawes of the realme and also to kindle and set on fire ●he hearts of discontented subiects with the flames of rebellion to search sound the depths and secrets of all mens inward intentions either against hir maiestie or for hir and fina●●ie to bring into a beadroll or as it were into a m●●●er roll the names and powers with the dwellings of all them that should be readie to rebell and to aid the forreine ●●uasion These kinds of seditious actions for the seruice of the pope and the traitors and rebels abroad haue made them traitors not their b●●ks nor their ●eads no nor their cakes of ware which they call Agnus Dei nor other their relikes no nor yet their opinions for the ceremonies or rites of the church of Rome and therefore it is to be certeinelie concluded that these did iustlie deserue their capitall punishments as traitors though they were not apprehended with open armour or weapon Now if this latter repetition as it were of all the former causes and reasons afore recited may not serue to stop the boisterous mouthes and the pestif●r●us toongs and venemous breaths of those that are infected with so grosse errors as to defend seditious subiects stirrers of rebellion against their naturall prince and countrie then are they to be left without anie further argument of the almightie God as persons that haue couered their eies against the sunnes light stopped their eares against the sound of iustice and oppressed their hearts against the force of reason and as the psalmist saith They speake lies they are as venemous as the poison of a serpent euen like the deafe adder that stoppeth his eares Wherefore with christian charitie to conclude if these rebels and traitors and their fautors would yet take some remorse and compassion of their naturall countrie and would consider how vaine their attempts haue béene so manie yeares and how manie of their confederats are wasted by miseries and calamities and how none of all their attempts or plats haue prospered and therefore would desist from their vnnaturall practises abroad and if these seminaries secret wanderers and explorators in the darke would imploie their trauels in the works of light and doctrine according to the vsage of their schooles and content themselues with their profession and deuotion and that the remnant of the wicked flocke of the seedmen of sedition would cease from their rebellious false and infamous railings and libellings altogether contrarie to christian charitie there is no doubt by Gods grace hir maiestie being so much giuen to mercie and deuoted to peace but all colour and occasion of shedding the bloud of anie more of hir naturall subiects of this land yea all further bodilie punishment should vtterlie cease Against whose malices if they shall not desist almightie God continue hir maiestie with his spirit and power long to reigne and liue in his feare and to be able to vanquish them all being Gods enimies and especiallie hir rebels and traitors both at home abroad to mainteine preserue all hir naturall good louing subiects to the true seruice of the same almightie God according to his holie word will Manie other things might be remembred for defense of other hir maiesties princelie honorable and godlie actions in sundrie other things wherein also these and the like seditious railors haue of late time without all shame by fained and false libels sought to discredit hir maiestie hir gouernement but at this time these former causes and reasons alleaged by waie of aduertisements onelie for maintenance of truth are sufficient to iustifie hir maiesties actions to the whole world in the cases remembred Magna

deliuered in the Star-chamber and after published in a booke intituled A true and summarie report of the declaration of some part of the earle of Northumberlands treasons deliuered publikelie in the court at the Starchamber by the lord Chancellor and others of hir maiesties most honorable priuie councell councell learned by hir maiesties speciall commandement togither with the examinations depositions of sundrie persons touching the maner of his most wicked and violent murther committed vpon himselfe with his owne hand in the Tower of London the 20 daie of Iune 1585. MAlice among other essentiall properties perteining to hir ouglie nature hath this one not inferior to the rest and the woorst incredulitie wherewith the commonlie possesseth the minds and affections of all those that are infected with hir so blinding the eies iudgement of the best and clearest sighted that they cannot see or perceiue the bright beames of the truth although the same be deliuered with neuer so great puritie proofe circumstance and probabilitie It is said that no truth passeth abroad vnaccompanied with hir contrarie and as they go truth is euer constreined to yeeld the precedence and preheminence to hir yokefellow falshood whose lodging is alwaies first made and prepared without a harbenger in the corrupt nature of mankind by whome she is first receiued interteined and harbored at all times wherof in our dailie experience there happen manie and dangerous demonstrations especiallie in matters of the highest moment tending to excuse or accuse the actions of the greatest personages There was of late deliuered in publike by persons of honour credit and reputation a large declaration of certeine treasons practised by the late earle of Northumberland of the maner of his vntimelie death being with his owne hand murthered in the Tower and of the causes that wrought him therevnto The particularities whereof are such and so manie as for the helpe of my memorie comming then to the Starchamber by occasion and not looking for anie such presence of the nobilitie and priuie councell as I found there at that time and not looking for anie such cause of that nature to haue béene handled there that daie I tooke notes of the seuerall matters declared by the lord chancellor maister attourneie and solicitor generall the lord chiefe baron and maister vicechamberlaine for as I remember they spake in order as they are here marshalled and therefore I place them in this sort and not according to their precedence in dignitie Upon the hearing of the treasons with their proofs and circumstances and the desperat maner of the earles destruction deliuered in that place and by persons of that qualitie I supposed no man to line 10 haue beene so void of iudgement or the vse of common reason that would haue doubted of anie one point or particle thereof vntill it was my chance falling in companie with diuerse persons at sundrie times as well about the citie of London as abroad to heare manie men report variablie and corruptlie of the maner and matter of this publike declaration possessing the minds and opinions of the people with manifest vntruths as that the earle had béene vniustlie deteined in prison without proofe or line 20 iust cause of suspicion of treason and that he had beene murthered by deuise and practise of some great enimies and not destroied by himselfe These slanderous reports haue ministred vnto me this occasion to set forth vnto thy view and consideration gentle reader this short collection of the said treasons and murther as neere vnto the truth as my notes taken may lead and permit me with the view of some of the examinations them selues concerning this cause for my better satisfaction since obteined Which I line 30 haue vndertaken for two respects the one to conuince the false and malicious impressions and constructions receiued and made of these actions by such as are in heart enimies to the happie estate of hir maiesties present gouernement the other because it may be thought necessarie for the preuenting of a further contagion like to grow by this créeping infection in the minds of such as are apt though otherwise indifferent in these and the like rumors to receiue the bad as the good and they the most in number Wherein if I haue séemed more bold than line 40 wise or intermedled my selfe in matters aboue my reach and not apperteining vnto me I craue pardon where it is to be asked and commit my selfe to thy friendlie interpretation to be made of my simple trauell and dutifull meaning herein Upon the three and twentith daie of Iune last assembled in the court of Starchamber sir Thomas Bromleie knight lord chancellor of England William lord Burleigh lord treasuror of England line 50 George earle of Shrewsburie lord marshall of England Henrie earle of Derbie Robert earle of Leicester Charles lord Howard of Effingham lord chamberlaine Henrie lord Hunsdon lord gouernor of Berwike sir Francis Knollis knight treasuror sir Iames Croft knight comptrollor of hir maiesties houshold sir Christopher Hatton knight vice-chamberlaine to the quéenes maiestie the lord chiefe iustice of hir maiesties bench the maister of the rolles and the lord chiefe baron of the excheker line 60 and others The audience verie great of knights esquiers and men of other qualitie the lord chancellor began briefelie and summarilie to declare that whereas Henrie late earle of Northumberland for diuerse notable treasons and practises by him taken in hand to the danger not onelie of hir maiesties roiall person but to the perill of the whole realme had béene long deteined in prison and looking into the guilt of his owne conscience and perceiuing by such meanes of intelligence as he by corrupting of his keepers and other like deuises had obteined that his treasons were by sundrie examinations and confessions discouered grew thereby into such a desperat estate as that therevpon he had most wickedlie destroied murthered himselfe Which being made knowen to the lords of hir maiestees priuie councell order was therevpon taken and direction giuen to the lord chiefe iustice of England the maister of the rolles and the lord chiefe baron of the e●cheker to examine the maner and circumstances of his death which they with all good indeuor and diligence had accordinglie performed And least through the sinister meanes of such persons as be euill affected to the present estate of hir maiesties gouernement some bad and vntrue conceipts might be had as well of the cause of the earles deteinement as of the maner of his death it was therefore thought necessarie to haue the truth thereof made knowen in that presence and then he required hir maiesties learned councell there present to deliuer at large the particularities both of the treasons and in what sort the earle had murthered himselfe Then began Iohn Popham esquier hir maiesties attourneie generall as followeth The earle of

bring two of the wicked persons to iustice Now knowing how men are maliciouslie bent in this declining age of the world both to iudge speake and write maliciouslie falslie and vnreuerentlie of princes and holding nothing so déere vnto vs as the conseruation of our reputation and honor to be blamelesse we found it verie expedient not to suffer two such horrible imputations to passe vnder silence lest for lacke of answer line 60 it might argue a kind of guiltinesse and did therefore thinke that what might be alledged by vs for our iustification in that behalfe might most aptlie be ioined vnto this former declaration now to be published to laie open before the world the maner and ground of our procéeding in the causes of the low countries And for answer of the first point wherewith we are charged touching our ingratitude towards the king of Spaine as we doo most willinglie acknowledge that we were beholding vnto him in the time of our late sister which we then did acknowledge verie thank●fullie and haue sought manie waies since in like sort to requite as in our former declaration by our actions maie appeare so doo we vtterlie denie as a most manifest vntruth that euer he was the cause of the sauing of our life as a person by course of iustice sentenced vnto death whoeuer carried our selfe towards our said sister in dutifull sort as our loialtie was neuer called in question much lesse anie sentence of death pronounced against vs a matter such as in respect of the ordinarie course of proceeding as by processe in law by place of triall by the iudge that should pronounce such sentence and other necessarie circumstances in like cases vsuall especiallie against one of our qualitie as it could not but haue beene publikelie knowne if anie such thing had beene put in execution This then being true we leaue to the world to iudge how maliciouslie and iniuriouslie the author of the said pamphlet dealeth with vs in charging vs by so notable an vntruth with a vice that of all other we doo most hate and abhorre And therefore by the manifest vntruth of this imputation men not transported with passion maie easilie discerne what vntruth is conteined in the second by the which we are charged to haue béene acquainted with an intended attempt against the life of the said prince a matter if anie such thing should haue béene by vs intended must haue procéeded either of a misliking we had of his person or that the prosecution of the warres in the low countries was so committed vnto him as no other might prosecute the same but he And first for his person we could neuer learne that he hath at anie time by act or speach doone anie thing that might iustlie bréed a mislike in vs towards him much lesse a hatred against his person in so high a degree as to be either priuie or assenting to the taking awaie of his life Besides he is one of whom we haue euer had an honorable conceit in respect of those singular rare parts we alwaies haue noted in him which hath woone vnto him as great reputation as anie man this daie liuing carrieth of his degree and qualitie and so haue we alwaies deliuered out by speach vnto the world when anie occasion hath béene offered to make mention of him Now touching the prosecution committed vnto him of the warres in the low countries as all men of iudgement know that the taking awaie of his life carrieth no likelihood that the same shall woorke anie end of the said prosecution so is it manifestlie knowne that no man hath dealt more honorablie than the said prince either in dulie obseruing of his promise or extending grace and mercie where merit and desert hath craued the same and therefore no greater impietie by anie could be wrought nor nothing more preiudiciall to our selfe so long as the king shall continue the prosecution of the cause in that forcible sort he now dooth than to be an instrument to take him awaie from thense by such violent meanes that hath dealt in a more honorable and gratious sort in the charge committed vnto him than anie other that hath euer gone before him or is likelie to succéed after him Now therefore how vnlikelie it is that we hauing neither cause to mislike of his person nor that the prosecution of the warres should cease by losse of him should be either author or anie waie assenting to so horrible a fact we referre to the iudgement of such as looke into causes not with the eies of their affection but doo measure and weigh things according to honor and reason Besides it is likelie if it had béene true that we had bin anie waie chargeable as the author reporteth the confessions of the parties executed importing such matter as by him is alledged would haue béene both produced and published for malice leaueth nothing vnsearched that maie nourish the venome of that humor The best course therefore that both we and all other princes can hold in this vnfortunat age that ouerfloweth with numbers of malignant spirits is through the grace and goodnesse of almightie God to direct our course in such sort as they maie rather shew their wils through malice than with iust cause by desert to saie ill or deface princes either by spéech or writing assuring our selues that besides the punishment that such wicked and infamous libellors line 10 shall receiue at the hands of the almightie for deprauing of princes and lawfull magistrats who are Gods ministers they both are and alwaies shall be thought by all good men vnwoorthie to liue vpon the face of the earth Giuen at Richmount the first of October 1585 and the 27 yeare of the reigne of our souereigne ladie the queene to be published In the moneths of Nouember and December line 20 manie horsses and men were shipped at the Tower wharffe to be transported ouer into the low countries And on the sixt of December
