beauty or that through scruple of Conscience which for his honors sake is most receiued I am not able to censure But sure it is that hee beganne deepely to consider with himselfe that notwithstanding the vsurped liberty of the Pope whose Prerogatiues till then was neuer thought disputable that his marriage was not onely vnlawfull but incestuous some are of opinion that hee was hereunto moued by the Nobility others that hee was instigated by the Clergy but if we may giue credit to his owne Protestation in open Court the first original● of this touch in Conscience was because the Bishop of Bayon being sent Ambassador from the French King to debate a Marriage betwixt the Duke of Orleance his second sonne and the Lady Mary the sole suruiuing Issue of him and his Queene Katharine but as the match was vpon the point to bee concluded the Bishop beganne to demurre and desired respit till he were fully resolued whether the Lady Mary by reason of the Kings Marriage with his brothers wife were legitimate or not The cause is doubtfull but the effect I am sure is vnquestionable Although the King receiued from this Spanish Lady a Prince called Edward borne at Richmond on Newyeeres day in the second yeer of his raigne for whose Natiuity great Triumphs were kept at Westminster yet breathed his last vpon Saint Mathews day following Besides hee had by her a second issue the Lady Mary before-named so that neither sterility and barrennesse could be aspersed vpon her nor any knowne disobedience or disloyalty obiected against her but that as the King himselfe often protested she was a wife no way refractory but in all things corresponding to his desires and pleasures These things notwithstanding the pretended diuorce was to the Kings great cost and charge so effectually negotiated that after they had liued together by the space of 22 yeeres and vpwards in vnquestioned Matrimony it was made the publique Argument in Schooles debated by the Italian French German and our owne moderne Doctors both Ecclesiasticall and Ciuill by an vnanimous consent determined and for the better confirmation thereof by th● Seales of diuers Academies signed that the Marriage betwixt the King and Queene neuer till now called his Sister or Brothers wife was a meere nullity absolutely vnlawfull and that his sacred Maiesty had liberty and licence howsoeuer the Pope sought by all meanes to antipose their opinions warrātable from them after a legal diuorce sued out from the Court to make choice of any other lady to his wife where he himselfe best liked Cardinall Campeius was sent from his Holinesse and Cardinall Wolsey was ioyned with him in commission to determine of this difficult point the King and Queene were conuened in open Court then held in Black Friers the Resolution of the weighty Argument then in hand was so abstruse that it puzled all though many seemed confident yet not a few of the best Orthodoxall diuines then staggered in their opinions in so much that the Legate departed the land before he would giue vp a definitiue sentence in the cause the reason was because hee desired further Order and Instruction from his Holinesse In the Interim the good Princess greatly beloued was much pittied and the King much honored was greatly feared For now most mens thoughts were in their hearts a time better to thinke then speake but before the Diuorce was publikly denounced the Lady Anne Bullein on the first of S●pt An. 1532. was at Windsor created Marchiones of Pembrooke and one thousand pound per annum conferred vpon her by the King which news no sooner arriued to the deiected Princesse eare but shee beganne to consider with her selfe the ficklenesse and instability of greatnesse and seeing that Sunne to set in a cloud on her which was beginning to rise serenely on another who was now maiestically ascending those steps by which shee was miserably descending exprest a womans wondrous modesty and without speaking any distastfull or irreuerent word against the King said Great men enterprizing great things ought neither by the Lawes of God nor man to employ their power as their owne mind wil leth but as Iustice and Reason teacheth but fearing lest in speaking so little she had spoken too much shut vp the rest of what shee thought to vtter in a modest and welbeseeming silence Vpon the 25. of Ianuary An. 1533. the King was married in his Closset at Whitehall to the Marchionesse of Pembrooke the Lady Anne Bullein but very priuately few were present at the ceremonies then celebrated by Dr. Rowland Lee not long after consecrated Bishop

Lady Regent but the newes on their side was too good to bee true their ioyfull acclamations too extreame to continue their Haleluiahs were instantly turn'd to Lachrymae the report proued but poin'd and turned the Vane presently into another poynt it was after knowne to all their greefes that shee neuer had conceiued or euer was likely so to do some gaue out that shee was with Child but miscarried some that she had a Timpany others that such a thing was rumour'd onely for policy but the truth is King Philip seeing himselfe frustrate of his expected Is●ue and perceiuing such shuffling and cutting amongst them not long after took his leaue of the Queene to visite his Father the Emperour and take possession of the Low-Countreys his departure was very grieuous vnto her but as most are of opinion hee did but little affect her King Philip st●yed beyond Seas a full yeare sixe months during his abode there the Statists of that time lost not the least opportunity to extinguish if it might bee possible that Cause of God that hereticall faction as they termed it how many deere Saint● of God during the Kings absence in the space of 18. months mounted vp with Elias in a fiery Chariot to Heauen the fire was then at the hottest the flames were then at the highest and the Lady Elizabeth though peaceably seated in the Countrey with her louing friends yet was much daunted with the fearefull apprehension of such extremities she feared the more because shee knew that such as were aduerse vnto her would like the Diuell worke vpon the weakenesse of her Sisters frailety they would leape ouer the hedge where it is the lowest and that now the absence of King Philip beyond the seas was the only opportunity for the aduancement of their intended designes but King Philips returne into England not long after proued the happy resolution of all her feareful apprehensions her life was a continuall warfare like a ship in the middst of an Irish Sea where nothing can be expected but troublesome stormes and tempestuous waues and certainly it will appeare that those peillous occurences shee met withall in the foure yeeres of her Ante-Regnum during the principality of her Sister will way downe the ballance being poys'd with those seuerall Treasons which threatned her Maiesty being an absoulte Princesse Then her opposites were aliens now natiues It was thou o my friend c then forraigne Kings sought to inuade her now a moderne Qu. striues to entrap her they strangers this a Sister she liued then at liberty without their iurisdiction now a prisoner captiuated to an incensed Sisters indignation she was then attended by her Nobility and graue Counsellors shee hath now not any to conuerse with but keepers and Goalers but that God wherein she still trusted first let her see her desire vpon her Aduersaries then in a good old age gathered her to himselfe freed her from the opposition of the one and the decease of Queen Mary her Sister set a period to the malice of the other Cardinall Poole with the rest of that suruiuing faction seeing things thus retrograde to their desires perceiuing the discontents of the Queene and that but a few sands were left in the glasse of her time they Nebuchadnezzar-like heated the ouen of their persecution● seauen times hotter then before for hauing already burned fiue Bishops twenty one Doctors eight Gentlemen eighty foure Artificers an hundreth Husbandmen Seruants and labourers twenty sixe wiues twenty Widows nine Virgins two boyes two Infants the one whipped to death tho other sprange out of it's Mothers wombe being at the stake and was cruelly cast into fire againe Sixty foure persecuted whereof seuen whipped to death 16. dyed in prison and were buried in Dung-hils many in Captiuity abroad leauing all they had only for conscience sake Quis talia fando tempreet a lachrimis Yet did not their fury cease here they filled the cup vp to the brim perceiuing the heat of those fires beginne to slake and wanting fuell to encrease the flames they consulted to burne the bones of those which had beene long since expired they digged vp the bones of Martyn Bucer and Paulus Phagius long since buried at Saint Maries in Cambridge and with great Pontificall State first degraded them then committed them to the secular power afterward to the fire and lest the one Vniuersitie should mock the other they tooke vp the bones of Peter Martirs wife formerly interr'd at Oxford and buried them in a stinking dunghill nay in this fury the bones of K. Henry the eight and Edward the sixth hardly scaped free now they thought all sure that the hereticall faction as they termed it were with these bones vtterly extinguished but whilst they thus solace themselues in the supposed victory of Gods Saints euen then did the hand-writing appeare vpon the wall against them newes came ouer that Calice in France a towne of great import was recouered by the French hauing belonged to the Crowne of England two hundred eleuen yeeres and herin the losse of Calice was most memorable It was first won by Edward the third being the eleuenth King from William the Conquerour and lost againe by Mary being the eleuenth from Edward in 8 dayes The Queene took the losse to heart the people beganne to murmure some imputing the losse vnto the neglect of the Clergy who then sate at the helme of state others whispered that it was a iust Iudgement of God for the abundance of bloud already spilt broyled in the land In the interim those of the faction striue to allay the heat of this distemperature both in Prince and People by extenuation of the losse saying that it was a Towne of none such consequence but rather of greater inconuenience then they were aware of that it was onely a refuge for runnagate hereticks and cōsequently that no true Romane Catholik ought to deplore but rather reioyce at the dammage At Regina graui iam dudum saucia cura Vulnus alit venis How soeuer the Queene being struck to the heart the wound became vncurable then they call'd a Parliament many large profers were made for the recouery of Calice wherin the clergy did exceed yet all this would not do Calice still stuck in the Qu. stomack she went vp and downe mourning and sighing all the day long which being asked her by some what was the reason thereof whether K.
