and to spare for his friends In his expence not over frugal maintaining his Port the most remarkeable like the Ancient NOBLE MAN in his family and Dependants of any other Lord then or since his time He assisted his Nephew the Earl of Suffolk by his designing and large contribution to that excellent Fabrick Awdley-end He built the Noble structure at Charing-Crosse from the Ground Northampton House and presented it a New-years-gift to the Lord Walden Suffolkes eldest Sonne and now called Suffolk-House and yet left his other Nephew the Earl of Arundell the rest of his estate so to appear to the world his equall distribution to such even kinred He was Religious and gave good testimony thereof in his life built that handsome Covent at Greenwich and indued it with Revenue for ever for maintenance of decaied Gentlemen a sufficient number and for women also considerable He died in Anno 1613. full of years and Honourable fame though Our Pamphleter wil not know so much Pamp. 16. and yet no doubt must needs be Iutimate with his Person for he tells us his thoughts That he had assuredly promised to himself the Treasurers staff Although we can produce this Lord's Letters and other testimonies imploying all his own and his Friends Interest for that preferment upon his Nephew Suffolke and excusing himself of the burthen and weight of that Office by his known Infirmity of Stone of the which he died Indeed James Hay Earle of Carlile Pamp. 18. It is no matter upon what Score that the King gave his affection to this Favorite James Hay The Scots were never very eminent with Neighbour-Princes what credit they had came by the French to keep ballance with England and them The beginning might then be hoped when their Vnion with these Crownes should afford the meanes to set them forth And it was prudentiall in the King to pick out one of his own to splendour that Nation in our way of peace and Court-ship Especially when all was done at the Master's cost For Hay was poor unlesse what he got by his first Match with the Lord Dennis heir for by his last he had nothing the great spirit of Pearcy Earle of Northumberland disdaining the Marriage and refused to afford a Groat to a beggerly Scot as he call'd him And now this Lord for so was he soon made Lord Hay His vaine 〈◊〉 spences then Viscount Doncaster and Earl of Carlile did most vainely prodigallize what he often begg'd And in truth he had it granted for no other purpose to put down the Engl●sh Courtier at that vanity And which both abroad and at home was often paid for by the King 's Privy Purse As that feast at Essex-House Pamp. 19. and many his Masqueradoes at Court for he medled not with the Tilt-staff as being no Sword-man but in the other and such like he never escaped to act One part And these expences fam'd him with little credit how erche appears to our Pamphleters Judgement who cries up Pamp. 21. the bounty of his Mind beyond the Moon at least who in truth was never good to Man or beast His Embassies His Embassies to Germany were not so weighty when he posted so long through Germany to find out the Emperor who afforded him the Wild-Goose-Chase as knowing his Arrand before he came at him Which in truth was purposely so designed by the King only to spend time and to amuse mens expectations who were wild after a Warre to beget a Treaty concerning the lost Palatine The effects wherof as the King wisely prophesyed would produce distemper through all Christendome if not destructive to his Son in law He went into France Extraordinary France it was to treate with that King in favour of the Hugenots the Religion as they account it being risen to a Civill Warre by management of the Duke d'Rohau Count Sobeeze and others to a dangerous consequence in severall places almost over France which to allay that King had raised a great Army resolving with countenance of his own Person to give end thereto But King James being invited by several troublesome Commissioners their Agents to implore for their cause and take upon him their protection which he a wise Prince in that declined yet not to neglect them and the rather to satisfy some of our People of the like Gang medled thus farre to mediate by Embassy of Hay who as in that of Germany did nothing with effect but went up to Montaban and so come home again 'T is true he went into Spain Spaine with a message to our Prince with no more matter then others that came after to waite on him in that Courtship For there as in other Kingdomes his Scots vanity must also be blazon'd And for his last Embassy in France about Our Match with that Daughter and our Queen Again into France he came not into Commission till the Treaty was confirmed and the Marriage concluded by Embassy only of the Earle of Holland and Carlile put in afterwards to dance out the Measures His name being used in the Proxie for that Ceremony and at this time the Earl of Holland Earle of Holland had some colour for his expence which he lavished without reason to the weakening of his unsettled fortunes being forced to follow the other then in all his fashions And which Infection by after-Custome became his disease also and almost if not over-mastering yet over-shadowing his Natural eminent parts with which his inside was habited and perspicuous to such as knew him But I am not delighted to urge out this story of the Earl of Carlile as not willing to speak ill of any unlike our Pamphlet that spares none but Him For I should know that vertue and vice are Inherent in Man And as it becomes us to tell truth when we speak their vertue yet with modesty and compassion to discover their vices either being Examples for the future that to imitate this to shun And I cannot but with Compunction remind That the monstrous excesse of the belly and the back by his first President became then the Mode of those times for great Persons the most part to follow and for the Common People to this hour to practise And truly a wise and a good Man ought justly to have hated his condition in this without suspition of malice or envy Pamp. 21. as it is said Northampton did who yet as may be remembred took leave of this life ere Hay was setled on horsback And that other marke of Reproach also may without partiallity be taken oft the Score from that Noble Northampton who on my conscience for I knew him well disdained the Guilt in that frivolous story of Sir Robert Mansell Nor is it material to credit the rest of that Rant in his Vice-Admirall voyage The Second Remark of the Preface Second Remarke Pamp. 30. falls upon the Treason of Sir Walter Ralegh which the Pamphlet calls an arrant trick

with much honour and magnificence Sir Themas Overbury And Sr. Thomas Overbury congratulating the Ceremony with as publique profession as others in Court expressed And it concerned this great Favourite to look upon Him with respect of preferment and as he failed not the meanest so it became Him to advance his Confident Overbury most eminent Pamph. 65. Whose Character Our Pamphletter hath more deservedly hit upon than any other And therefore it was his own seeking as best fitting his excellent parts to present the Kings Person in Embassie to France which to my knowledge he accepted and seemingly prepared to advance Conceiting perhaps that the power which he usurped over Somerset and the Interests of eithers affection which Overbury knew best how to Master could not endure absence without much regret which accordingly had for some time the true effects as Overbury intended But when Somerset had wisely considered that there would be no great loss of so loose a friend Then Overbury would not goe no though I know his Instructions were drawn and Additionalls thereto by his own consent And this was a just and true ground for the King and Councell to punish so great Insolency with Imprisonment in the Tower which Somerset heartily endeavoured in due time to release But Overbury to shadow his own demerits devised the reason and cause from his disaffection of the former Marriage and which he published with much dishonor though not the tythe which is studied in our Pamphleters Libell For which the Malice of Women as it often meets sought Revenge by Poyson to punish him to the death And for which Fact they were arraigned and some suffered death In prosecution of which it behoved the Kings Piety and Iustice to be severe and serious without any King-craft And therefore needed not such an additionall falsehood as to kneel down to the Iudges when then as usuall he gave them their Charge upon their Itinerate Circuits For then the truth of Overburies poysoning was but suspected And therefore it was not unnaturall nor wonderous for the King to take his leave of his Favorite and friend with expressions of great kindness who yet in Iustice he exposed to Persecution And truly in this much forced story of our Author take him at his own dimension an ingenious good Nature may find out much strugling in the King to make Iustice and Mercy kiss each other I was present at their Arraignments and the Pictures Puppets for Magick spells were no other but severall French Babies some Naked others Clothed which were usuall then and so are now a dayes to teach us the fashions for dresse of Ladies tyring and apparrell And indeed Foremans Book was brought forth wherein the Mountebanck had formerly for his own advantage and credit sawcily inserted the Countesses name so of many others that came to seek Fortunes which she cleared by her own Protestation and Foremans confession that she was never with him Sir Thomas Monson was brought to the Bar Sir Thomas Monson and began his Tryall but was remitted to the Tower with as much Civility as is usuall to other Prisoners And Sir Geo. More then Lieutenant of the Tower took him from the Bar and both together were carried in his Coach to the Tower I say the truth for I saw it But I cannot pick out the meaning why so much pains is taken to tell out Monsons tale was he Guilty or No By the story he had hard measure So perhaps had some of the others for He was a Creature of that Family And yet for some no doubt private respects of our Author for he was his Companion He is in and out and out and in and in and out again And now comes Somerset Pamph. 115. who he sayes being warned to his tryal absolutely refused and was assured by the King never to come to any when was this assurance For he tells us At their parting at Royston they never met after but we must conceive it by Message And why for this must More a wise man be at his wits end The warrant for Tryall came over night late and it is so usual as it never failes that the Lieutenant of the Tower hath freedome of accesse to waken his Soveraign at any hour The importance of his Place and Trust having that consequence annexed And in speciall to give Knowledge of Warrants either of Tryalls or of Execution of Prisoners And this of Course he did When the King in tears is told a tale in his Eares that none knew but he that was furthest off A trick of wit brings him to the Barre and a desperate plot by two men placed at his Elbow with Clokes to clap over him made him calm at his Tryall And thus it was that the Lieutenant on his right and the Gentleman Iaylor on his left hand with Clokes on their backs but not on their armes might colour our Authors conceipt It had appeared a mad President when a Prisoner at his tryall upon Life and Death hath Freedome to speak for himself in publique Course of Justice to be snatch'd from the Bar and from the power of the Iudge at the pleasure of a Iaylor But to make out this Monument the King rewards him with 1500 l. Pamph. 119. And for a truth More tells all this to the Author of whom himselfe confesses he had no assurance of his honesty nor I beseeve any body else The Conclusion of all is That due execution was done upon Sir Iervice Ellowayes Mrs. Turner Weston and Franklyn Mo●son cleared the Countesse and Earl reprieved our Author and most men cleer him of the Poyson and condemn him only in the high point of friendship for suffering his imprisonment which he could not release And the Countesse only guilty of connivance And now comes this Our Prefacers 3. Remarke to the Iudgment Seat for sentence Let him pick out a greater President in any History more Remarke than this of the King to make good this His former Protestation wherein by the way He may take leave to be allowed His owne even Conscience for Iustice and Mercy both Which no doubt hath found acceptance at Gods Tribunall in behalfe of Him and His His own death being Ordinary not forced by any Poyson And His posterity in due time by our Saviours merits shall be gathered up in the mystery of everlasting salvation But by the way how smoothly we are told a Story of the Pittifull Palsgrave how He Married a Kings Daughter with much joy Pamph. 82 Palsgrave and great misfortune to all the Princes of Christendom but fayling of that and all the rest how He was cast out He and His to beg their bread But had His Father-in-law been half so wise with our Authors good Counsell to boot and had He bought swords with a quarter expence of words He had bin What As his Sonne that succeeds him Palsgrave But we hasten Prince Henry having much matter to meddle with confusedly put together

forewarning of the Duke of Florence by expresse Message of Sir Henry Wootton to King James a year before his comming to these Kingdomes against Her beloved and undoubted Heir and in Them to destroy the Protestant Religion The most remarkeable was Gowries Conspiracie that of Gowries Conspiracy in Scotland And I never read or hear'd till our Pamphlet That Sir George Hewms his gravity and Wisdome ushered him into the Secrets of the KING therefore and chiefly to make good that story Pamph. 8. The first passage of the Preface Remarkable For of that Nation both the wisest and most honest gave great Credit thereto And the commemoration was advisedly settled by Acts of their Parliament which Anathematize upon Gowries House and Name And Solemnized there and here with Narratives in print of each particular Circumstance and the ground the cause inviting that Treason And truely the Anniversary feast-day in August was usually solemnized to God's Glory by the most Reverend Preachers witnesse those rare Divine Sermons of our Bishop Andrew's and others whose Consciences no doubt were not so large to cozen God Almighty with a fained tale Indeed there might have been more additionall truths annexed to the relation which I have heard to make it more apprehensive to our Pamphleter whose Speculations in this as in other his stories of Court and State took Information belike but in his Office Below-staires And which makes his faith drawe downe the effects of those Sermons for the Father Pamp. 10. as a Cause of the sad Events and sufferings of the Son and us all to this present The Name of Ruthen in Scotland was not notorious until Anno 1568 when Ruthen amongst others confederates in those divided times of trouble laboured much for the Imprisoning Queene Mary Mother to King James In 1582. his sonne William was created Earle Gowry in the time of that King's minority Though the father bore deadly hatred to the King's prosperity And in 1584. himselfe was in actuall Rebellion in which he suffered at Dondee His eldest son John then in travell in Italy returns home to inherit his lands and honours But not one jot changed in disposition from the traiterous wayes of his Predecessors For not long after he falls into this Conspiracy Which is not so antient but that many then and now living can relate and my self have often heard the repetition The House of Gowry were all of them much addicted to Chimistry And these more to the Practise often publishing as such professors usually do more rare experiments then ever could be performed wherein the King a general scholar had little faith But to infuse more credit to the practise Alexander Ruthen the second Brother takes this occasion and withall conspires with Gowry to assassinate the King and taking opportunity in his hunting not far from his house St. Johnstone invites the King to be an eye-witnesse of his productions In their way Sir Thomas Erskin after Lord Kelly overtakes them and others Demanding of the Duke of Lenox then present why Alexander had ingrossed the King's eare to carry him from his sports Peace man said the Duke Wee's all be turned into gold Not far they rid but that the Earle Gowry made good by protestation his Brother's story And thus was the King brought to Guest Neere the end of Dinner at his fruit and the Lords and Waiters gone to eate Alexander begs of the King at this opportunity to withdraw and to be partaker of his Production to the view of that which yet he could not beleeve And up he leades the King into by-lodgings locking each door behind them till they came into a back-Roome Where no sooner entered but that Alexander claps on his Bonnet and with sterne Countenance faces the King and saies Now Sir you must know I had a father whose bloud calls for revenge shed for your sake The King amazed deales gently with his fury excuses the guilt of his death by his then Infancy Advising him not to lay violent hands on the sacred Person of his Anointed Soveraigne Especially in a cause of his Innocency Pleading the laws of God and Man which so much wrought upon him that he said well I will speak with my Brother And so put the King into a Lobby Room next the Chamber where no sooner entered but that there appeared a fellow weaponed ready for execution to whose custody the King is committed till his return Alexander gone downe the fellow trembles with Reverence puts down his sword and craves pardon which gave the King occasion to worke upon that passion and to aske him whether he resolved to murther him Being assured to the contrary the King gets leave to open a window that looked into a back Court When presently Alexander returnes and tells the King that he must dy But much affrighted at the fellowes countenance with his sword offers violence to the King Which the fellow seemingly opposes and betweene them began a scuffle which gave advantage to the King to cry Treason at the Window which looked into a back Court where Sir Thomas Erskin and one Herries were come In pursuite of the King who was rumored to be gone out the back way to his hunting At the cry of Treason and known to be the King's voice they both hastened up a back staire called the Turnepike being directed by a servant of the house who saw Alexander ascend that way And so forcing some doores they found them above panting with the fray And up comes also at heeles of them John Ramsey after Earle of Holdernesse by them Alexander was soon dispatched Not long after came the Earle Gowry by his double key the first way with a case of Rapiers his usuall weapons and ready drawn To whom Erskin said as to divert his purpose what do you meane my Lord the King is killed for the King was shadowed having cast himselfe upon a Bed from his sight and his cloak was thrown upon the Body of Alexander bleeding on the ground At which Gowry stops sincking the points of his weapons when suddainly Herries strickes at him with a hunting fawchion And Ramsey having his Hawke on his fist casts her off and steps into Gowry and stabs him to the heart and forthwith more Company came up And the truth very notorious then to every eye and eare-witnesse not a few There remained but one younger sonne of that House who though a childe was from that time Imprisoned by Act of their Parliament And so continued afterwards here in the Tower of London until that King's death and the grace of the late King Charles restored him to liberty with a small pension which kept him like a Gentleman to these times But now failing he walks the streets poore but well experienced also in Chimicall Physick and in other parts of Learning Not long after this Conspiracy Herries dies well rewarded John Ramsey hath the Honor of Knighthood with an additional bearing to his Cote of Armes A Hand holding
