A DECLARATION OF THE TRVE CAVSES OF THE GREAT TROVBLES PRESVPPOSED TO BE INTENded against the realme of England VVherein the indifferent reader shall manifestly perceaue by whome and by what meanes the realme is broughte into these pretented perills Seene and allowed Anno M. D.LXXXXII TO THE INDIFFERENT READER THE present estate that the realme of England is in a fewe yeares come vnto and the sundry aduersites sustayned by the inhabitaÌ„ts of the same are such and somany as the lamentable and generall cries and complaintes of the oppressed multytude caÌ„ declare them to exceede all those of all ages past in the memorie of man And yet of the redresse of these calamities so litle hope is giuen that nought els but the terrors of farr greater trobles are daily sounded in the eares of the afflicted people which can be to no other end then to enduce them to beare such further extreame misery and pouertie as by the newe intended exactions pressures pillages they are lyke to be broughte vnto But straÌ„ge it is to consider that the auoydance of such great daungers as are pretended vnto the realme and expected as is insinuated by a spanish inuasion is neither soughte nor desyred by geuing that king satisfaction of the manifeste iniuries don vnto him nor in the restitution of his townes and cities wrongfully possessed by the English But falsly supposed to consist in the persecuting and killing of a fewe poore priests and Iesuytes within the realme that there do secretly practize their priestly functions to the consolation of such afflicted Catholikes as liue within the same or to the conuersion of such well mynded protestants as will not obstinately refuse to vnderstand their owne errors when they are made manifest vnto them by which meanes many are confirmed in Catholike religion and some numbers brought from heresy to embrace the truthe which albeit the malice of the aduersary hath not letted to withstaÌ„d euen with the effusioÌ„ of bloud yet coÌ„sidering that the force of truthe is great and dothe preuaile the violence of the enemy is also mightely encreased who directly seeking the lyues and goods of Catholikes for their conscyence and religioÌ„ laboreth by all meanes possible to make the cause of their sufferance to some to be for treason Vnder pretext whereof by a late proclamation published in London in Nouember last 1592. in the name of the Queene theire are yet more exquisite meanes of inquisition deuysed to bring them vnto the slaughter then were euer vsed afore And because all men can not without some demonstration so rightly discerne the truthe of this case and the causes of the supposed perills as it is requisyte for euery man to know and the sway of the tyme not permitting the same otherwise to be vttered they are in the ensuing treatise briefly set downe In the which albeit that euery fryuolous point of the aforesaid proclamation be not expresly answered yet is the intention of the inueÌ„tor thereof directly impugned and the iust blame imputed where it is iustly deserued It may therefore please the discreet reader laying a syde all partialitie with an in different eye to behold the manifest truth that shal in this treatise be laid open vnto him the which for his owne safty he must vse with secreesie and sylence because of the great a-do that the great Lord Threcherer will kepe to depresse and conceile it from the sight and knowlege of the world the which may serue for one especial motiue to prooue that he knoweth himselfe to be guilty in conscience yf he haue any at al. And thus leauing the reader out of the matter ensuing with some addition of somthing here omitted to make a commentarie vpon Chaucers prophesie I wish him well to fare from Colen the 26. of Marche 1592. Of the fained happinesse of England The vaunt of the pretended Gospel NO triumphes of the Gospells lighte But truthe that shyneth cleere Not vvordes but actions iust and righte Makes vertue to apeere See then vvhat force this faith hath found More then of elder dayes And let the vices that abound Confirme the present praise The boast of continual peace The tokens of continued peace By plenty best are shovven But signes of vvarr that dothe not ceasse By comon vvants are knovven Such is the peace vve then preferr And eke our plenty so That thovvsands hath consumde in vvarr And millions left in vvo The present feare of troubles And all expyred dayes and yeares And fained pleasures past Conuerted are to sundry feares Of dangers at the last VVould God no former cause had beene Reuenges to attend Since happynesse is euer seene Best by the happy end WHen Queene Marie that lately possessed the crovvne and kingdome of England had resigned her soule vnto God and her bodie to nature the lordes spirituall and teÌ„porall the comons of the realme receaued into that crovvne and dignitie the lady Elizabeth her sister Ã Princesse yonge and beautifull and aboundantly adorned with the giftes of nature and princely education The King of Spaine albeit he had bene maried vnto the deceased Queene yet did he neuer seke to possesse himself of the crowne nor to appropriate vnto him any Cities Castels Portes or other places within the realme nor in any sorte to oppugne the entrance of the newe Queene but in all loue and actes of amitie he did manifest his well lyking of her highe aduauncement aswell in the geuing vnto her all his late wyves Iewels which were of great value as in his earnestly labouring with the French for the restitution of Calis to the encrease of her dominions A litle before the death of the aforesaid Queene there was Ã treaty of peace begun betwene England Spaine and Fraunce including by consequeÌ„ce ScotlaÌ„d Flaunders the which peace notwithstanding the aforesaid Queenes deceasse went forward and was fully concluded Thus stood the realme of England shortly after this Queenes coming to the crowne in perfect peace and amitie with all the countries next adioyning and those also neither in ciuil broyles among themselues nor in dissention with their neighbours abrode The Moores of Granada liued in obedience to the king of Spaine the names of Huguenots and Gheuses were in FrauÌ„ce and Flaunders vtterly vnknowne and vnhard ã€ˆâ—Šã€‰ and in Scotland was no contention for gouernement But as the Serpent being subtiler then all the beasts of the feild did somtyme seduce the first woman and Queene of the world to breake the coÌ„maundemeÌ„t of God wherby herself was forced to exile and her posteritie made subiect for euer after to such infinite calamities So wanted there not now a fly Sicophant to suggest this princesse to breake the vnitie of Gods Churche and eft-soones to prosecute such violent attempts against other princes the old allies of her predecessors as thereby herself and realme is brought vnto these present feares and to expect such insuing daungers as God may permit to fall vpon them Very probable it is that the Queene so

in person with great armies obtained such victories as will for euer recomend their glorie to all posterities They are also in league with a fewe Bere-bruers and Basketmakers of Holland and Zealand with a company of Apostataes and Huguenotes of Fraunce with their feed peÌ„sioner the ChauÌ„celor of ScotlaÌ„d who by abusing of the King hathe gotteÌ„ credit to woork his ruyne And the English thus leagued with infidells heretikes and rebells cannot yet presume of any true frindship of them in their hartes For the French albeit they be Huguenotes yet are they still French vnto the English and as heretofore so euen of late they have shewed themselues vnto such as were sent from England to assist them The states of Holland and Zealand yf they could possibly thurst out the Englishe they would not let to do it And it is well knowne that some of them of chiefest auctoritie haue secretly concluded and resolued either presently vpon the Queenes deceasse or so soone as any oportunitie serueth to bring all their forces together to attempt it The freindship of Scotland although it haue cost many Englishe angels yet will it prove Scotish in the end And the great Turk and his consorts may be by the English excited to inuade some partes of Christendome neere vnto them adioyning as alredy vpon such perswasioÌ„ they haue attempted but good vnto England they can do none albeit the English would exchaÌ„ge their Geneua Bible for the Turkish AlcoraÌ„ because their situations are to farr distant But how so euer their new freindes may congratulate with them their old alies may rather reioyce in hauing their enmitie then their amitie For that by the vnhappy and mischieuous endes of somany of their late confederates it is obserued that to be in league with EnglaÌ„d is maluÌ„ omeÌ„ Et for proof thereof I will aleadge some examples First the Earle of Arren in Scotland after that he had by the espetiall suggestion of the English prosecuted the rebellions and dissentions in his countrie became distracted of the vse of reason and hathe these 30. yeares remayned madd The Earle of Murray bastard brother to the Scotish Queene was slaine with an harquebushe in the towne of Lythquo The Earle of Lenox was stabbed with daggers The Earle of Marr was poysoned The Earle of Murton behedded All which were regents and gouernours of the realme and sett vp by the English For I will omit recytall of diuers other Lordes and gentlemen that folowed their factions whose endes also were violeÌ„t Besydes the great nuÌ„bers that haue perished in diuers battailes In Fraunce the Prince of Coundie was slaine at the battaile of Iarnac The Admirall Shatilian massacred at Parris with mumbers of his consorts The Cardinall of Shatilian his brother was poysoned in England The Counte of Mountgomery behedded Monsieur the Duke of Aniow brother to the late King died of an extraordinary sicknesse supposed to be poysoned And what end the last French King came vnto is manifest enough As also that Lanowe being ioyned with the English forces in Britany was there slaine And to what end Nauarr shall come being as firmly leagued with the English as were the others is yet to be expected In the low Countries the Counte of Lumay before mentioned that surprised the towne of Briel and had bene the murtherer of some hundteths of Priests being bitten in the arme by an English dogg of his owne died mad raging in the towne of Liege The Prince of Orange that could neither be warned by the infortunate endes of three of his owne bretheren Henry Adolf Lodowick nor by one or two atteÌ„pts made vpon his owne person was lastly slaine with a pistol in the towne of Delf in Holland THe third calamitie whereunto England is brought is of the vulgar multytude vnsene because it is yet of them vnfelt And that is the great confusion of somany competitors to the crowne bothe within without the realme VVhich must nedes prognosticate such slaughter cruell murthers as neuer were in that nor in any other country for such quarrell VVhen the crowne of England was in contention only betweene the two howses of Yorck and Lancaster how loÌ„g it lasted how many of the bloud Royal Nobilitie lost their lyues and what great nuÌ„bers of thowsandes were slaine the histories of those dayes can declare But farr greater extremities are we now to expect among somany do mesticall and some externe competitors Euery one of which thinking himself to be iustly the first caÌ„ aleage many causes for the exclusion of the others And therefore in all lykely hoode each one of those that liue within the realme Ile will not forbeare hereafter to attempt by what meanes he may to preferr himself and to depresse the others For the crowne remayning among so many in equall ballance and each almost in lyke possibilitie who of them is it that will not dare to aduenture the vttermost of his meanes for the gayning of no lesse a thing then is the kingdome of England And what aucthoritie of any dissolued councel shal prohibite any of the competitors to attempt the same vpoÌ„ the dereasse of the Queene VVhat great appareÌ„ce is there then of the effusion of the blood of many thowsands to what desolation is the realme lyke to be brought how fayned will then this present seeming peace be fouÌ„de wheÌ„ it shall conclude in such intricate mortall warres And how infinite wilbe the cursinges and maledictions of all sortes of people vpon him that hathe caused it wheÌ„ it shall appere vnto theÌ„ that as he neuer sought to coÌ„serue theÌ„ in peace during the Queenes lyf so he neuer meÌ„t but to leave theÌ„ in warres after her death At what tyme he may reioyce as once did the tyraÌ„t Nero to see the citie burne which himself had set on fyre And how soone this great quarrel shalbe begun is as vncertaine as the thing that each howre is to be expected Seeing it dependeth vpoÌ„ the only lyf of the Queene wherof there is as litle assurance as of the lyf of any other mortall creature and her deceasse so-much the nearer in that she is now declyning in age TO come vnto the fourth last parte coÌ„cerning the ouer-throwe of the Nobilitie and the great and generall oppression of the people it is first to be considered that albeit the vniust molestations of other comon-wealths and the oppressions and cruelties vsed within the realme were bothe by M. Cecill beguÌ„ prosecuted yet hathe he so cuningly disposed very many of his affaires into the handes of other principall actors espetially since the death of his brother Bacon that very ofteÌ„ tymes his owne plottes inuentions have seemed the practizes of others Of these his actors the late Earle of Leicester the secretary VValsingham were the chiefest The former of the twaine for that he had in his youth by ouermuch attending his pleasures neglected the obseruation of many secretes which M. Cecill practized
