if our bodies be in bondage And what pleasure can we take of our liues if wee see our wiues and daughters rauished and defloured and our sonnes tyed to perpetuall slauerie For although the ground in shewe of the Spaniards comming to inuade vs is his care to obay the Popes commaundement to reduce this land to his obedience in taking holde of and receauing his Romish religion and gouernment and our simple Recusants rae so sottish and so bewitched with the inchauntments of Popish superstition as they beleeue this to be true and the rather because one of our Arch-runnagate traytors sworn to the Popes pantable published a seditious pamphlet before the last inuasion to perswade it yet if you will giue me leaue to call to your rememberance the maner and meaning of his comming into England when hee came not as an inuader to conquer but as a freind to fasten a strong league of amitie by a marriage I doubt not to discouer the treacherous crueltie of his hearte For this marriage was sought for and intended also in shewe onely to strengthen the hand of the Queene of England to bring in the Romish religion and gouernement into this land and to establish it with continuance with purpose and meaning to adde strength to all the corners of christendome to continue poperie where it was and to bring it in where it was not that so the Arch-prelate of Rome might holde the scepters and power of all princes and potentates of christendome in his hand to dispose at his pleasure But the plots and practises layed and pursued by the Spanish King had made a wofull proofe to England of a further marke shotte at which was discouered in a letter to some of our nobles from a true harted Englishman in Spaine had not God almightie in his riche mercie preuented their purposes and defeated them in their determinations as it shall appeare hereafter if I first remember to you that it is recorded of the Spaniard that in diffimulation he surpasseth all nations till he haue attained to his purpose and when he can once preuaile he goeth beyonde them all in oppression and tyrannie also that he disdayneth all other nations and that in pride and carnall voluptuousnes no nation commeth neere him and these bee his qualities Now to proceede to laye open the right marke that in deede hee shotte at though when hee made waye to ioyne in marriage with Queene Marie hee made semblance of greate conscience to Catholike religion and greate care to bring the whole land into the obedience thereof and seemed to glorie much when it was brought to passe as his letter to his holy father at Rome written out of England doth make shewe wherein he expresseth what a worthie worke he had done when he had drawen the nobles and commons of the lande to submitte them selues to his holynes as their cheefe those are the very wordes yet little did the nobles and commons knowe what was intended towardes them by this Catholike child of Rome For vnder this colourable name of Catholike religion was hidden the ambitious humor of a most proud vsurping tyrant whose resolution was vppon mature deliberation and consultation with his Machiauellian counsellers to seeke by all the possible kind meanes he could to winne the principall of our nobles to affect him and in their affection to possesse him of the crowne and so to establish him in an absolute power ouer poore England to bring this to passe hee decreed to spare neither cost nor kindnesse If once hee had obtained the crowne and regall power into his clutches then as in y t letter of discouerie is layed open The Councell table must bee filled with his counsellers The hauen townes must be possessed with gouernours of his appointing Fortifications must be made by his direction Souldiers of his owne must bee placed in garrison at places most apt for strength to himselfe and annoyance to this poore nation Then must the common law of this land bee altered by which Iustice is truely taught to al sorts the Prince to gouerne the people to obay the nobles to liue of their owne with out wronging the inferiours the inferiours to liue vnder the nobles with al loue reuerence and dutie the riche to dwell amongst y e poore without oppression the poore to dwell with the rich without disorder the offenders to bee punished without partialitie and the well disposed to be defended without respect of persons This the law of the land doth offer vnto vs to our comfort and from this he purposed to make an exchange to his Spanish lawes which beeing no better than his Spanish Inquisition as in deede they are not we could not out of question receiue great comforte by the exchange For the Inquisition conuenteth without knowen cause compelleth to accuse without reason condemneth without proofe committeth to the torture without colour and finally neuer ceasseth till harte bloud bee sucked out of such as make their wofull appearance Which vnholy Inquisition he did most sauagely settle in most partes of his dominions and this bloudie Inquisition would he not haue failed to bring into our land with all other his lawes and ordinances sutable to the same Their intolerable taxes also we must haue been pestered with being such as my author reporteth who knew them well as England thankes bee to God was neuer yet acquainted with neither I trust euer shalbe A tast whereof I will giue you as that for euerie chimnie and other places to make fyre in as ouens fornaces smithes forges and such others a french crowne was yerely payed to him Hee had also powling pence for all manner of corne bread beefe mutton capon pigges goose hennes ducke chickin butter cheese egges apples peares nuttes beere wine and all other thinges whatsoeuer the people feedeth vpon Yea no farmer yeoman or husbandman durst eat a capon in his house if his friende came to him For if he did it must cost him sixe shillings eight pence though the capon was not worth twelue pence and so ioties quoties These bee the benefites and blessinges that this Catholike kinge sought to bring in hither by this absolute authoritie sought for My author doth further vnfolde his treacherous purpose towardes this land by discouering vpon his own knowledge and hearing this kings intention to be by little and little to roote out the nobilitie to keepe the commons in beggerie and not to suffer one to liue heere that was borne in twentie yeares before but either to destroy them or to make them slaues amongst the Moores The colour whereof was because they were borne out of the faith of the Catholike church of Rome wherein he shewed a very conscionable regarde of their soules health and saluation by killing them before he sought to conuert them or by sending them where no instruction was to be had for them And to make vp the full measure of al impietie the faster to settle his crowne vpon his head

place where he proceeded in his most valorous and victorious atteÌ„pt to the winning of the towne which done he ioyned himselfe to his most honorable companion againe who no doubt was prest and readie to performe what belonged vnto his place if occasion had been offered And all England hath iust cause to praise God for this blow of dishonour giuen to Spayne and for the safe returne of both the honorable Generals againe who so speedily by their diligence so prouidently by their gouernment and so forcibly by their courage arriued vpon his coast approached an attempt and followed it with such magnanimitie as by the goodnes of y e Almighty they had most prosperous successe without any great losse of men or shipping returned safe home by the assistance of y e same God being as ready to defend vs from inuasion as they haue shewed themselues forward to offend him at his owne dore And no doubt this biting blow lately giueÌ„ him by these two noble Generals hath no whit abated his anger but inceÌ„sed him more so as we are not to doubt but that he wil no longer stay froÌ„ offering a reuenge vpoÌ„ vs than he can furnish himselfe stroÌ„gly to his liking And herein shall he not want the helpe of al his popish confederates both forreine and at home For I doe not heare that the Popes holines is so purged froÌ„ ambition or so recoÌ„ciled to religion as he meaneth not to continue his claime for the Supremacie or wil cease to settle the dregs of his poyson and superstitious doctrine amongst vs. I cannot conceiue that the thirst of Parsons and his pew-fellowes is yet quenched from seeking the blood of our deare Soueraigne and in her the destruction of vs all the cause remayning stil for which heretofore they haue sought it neither can I be perswaded y e Spaynes malice to England is yet abated but that the Queene our mistris her kingdome is accounted with him a pray worth the enioying Therefore I doubt nothing of y e Popes malicious forwardnes to incite it and to adde all the strength he can to it nor of our English traytors harty disposition to further it nor of the Spaniards ambitious desire to take it in hand and his willingnes to do the worst he can And his worst let him doe For the God of heauen is with vs who is a iust defender of all those that haue a iust cause and as it was sayd of Constantius Et causaque valet causamque tuentibus armis So may we say of our Queene Her cause is better that she takes in hand Her force more strong Spaynes malice to withstand For whether we respect y e Pope the fugitiue and home-traytors or the King of Spayne our cause is most iust With the Pope we stand for Gods sacred and sincere truth against his superstitious and Idolatrous falshood With the fugitiue and home-traytor wee stand for our Soueraigne and countrie against barbarous vnnaturall and most monstrous bloodie harted treasons With the ambitious King of Spayne wee stand for our rightfull Queene against an vsurping tyrant And therefore there is no Christian heart so senceles that wil not stand for God against the Diuell for Christ against Antichrist for trueth against falsehood neither is there any true English heart so voyd of loyaltie to his Soueraigne and loue to his countrie but that hee will stand for both against practises plotformes of fugitiues against the furie and madnes of home-traytors and against the inuading humour of a bloodie tyrant Now deare countrymen you haue a taste of the black darknes that this our natiue and naturall country was in when the Popish cleargie carryed the sway amongst vs and what a blessed change did befall vs when the mightie God from heauen allotted our moste deare and rightfull liege Lady to be his soueraigne substitute to gouerne ouer vs his children and her naturally borne subiects of England by whose happy entrance into this seate of gouernment those darke and cloudie dayes daungerous both to soule and bodie were turned into a cleare sun-shyne of comfort to all that had any taste and sauour of the wofull blindenes they were held in or had any fence or feeling of their countryes miserie And lastly you haue heard of the manifolde daungers that this our deare soueraigne and supreame gouernour vnder God was in both in the time of her sister Queene Marie the bloody purposes and practises against her by the Romish cleargie as also after she was possessed of the royall authoritie due to her in this flourishing kingdome by forreine malice and home treason by which the peace of our land hath bene disturbed her precious lyfe mischieuously and many wayes short at and our whole countrey sought to be runiated and ouer-runne by inuasion from the ambitious tyrant of Spayne And all these deuises against her and vs were plotted at Rome from whence that man of sinne the Pope I meane hath incited and encouraged home-borne subiects to become rebells in raysing men and carrying armes against their rightfull Queene and to become bloudy traytors in conspiring the death of her whose life is moste precious vnto vs and should haue been most deare vnto them But our neuer fayling God hath cutt the throate of all those platformes and practises by disappointing the purposes of all these rebells and traytors and preseruing the life of our gratious Soueraigne Lady beyond the reach of all policie and wit of man for which we can neuer be sufficiently thankfull to this our good God for that in the contynewing of her life which the Lorde still long contynue true religion the liues of vs all and our countries libertie and tranquillitie is preserued and prolonged This bloudye monster of Rome doth not stay here but hauing alreadie stirred vp Spaine to set vpon vs both in Ireland and in England doth still whet them on by his vnholy prouocations to inuade and Spaine beeing enraged at his former ill successe when he was here and the sharp blowe now giuen him will not disobey his holy father at Rome nor refuse to giue a newe attempt vpon vs to trye whether he can speede better For Romish malice is not easilie abated and the thirst of a kingdome will hardly be quenched To meete with this proud popish champion our carefull Soueraigne and her prouident Councel consult daylie and commaund daylie They consult of the best meanes to resist him and defend vs and they commaund all thinges necessarie to be prouided by vs that wee may stand strongly for God for Queene for countrie eueÌ„ for the life and liberties of our selues and all belonging to vs. It behoueth vs therefore to bee carefull in our places also that as her Maiestie her honorable Councell consult and command for the best so we should obey and prouide for the best It is sayd of a learned man that the felicitie of a Common-wealth consisteth in well commaunding and well obeying For if the commaunders doe
