All this while he is busied with Kings but talks to himselfe and so I escape his censure not a word of me or mine Page 6.

This is the Lords doing and marvellous in our eye● And after his pittifull search into humane Judgment Much of this he attributes to the greatnesse power prodigality of that Nation in their accesse to England insolent and proud And is this all Sir that you can find out to be the efficient cause of their great miseries Nay he hath met with more perchance sayes he for some falshood and treacheries even to their own Princes Is it even so Sir the Lord have mercy upon all other such sinfull soules But how conquered and subjugated to Foraigne power is past my comprehension or how can he hold forth all this without publique Censure Page 7. But enough of this he sayes now have at my Book and me I now will take notice sayes he of such aspersions as this Author bestowes on particular persons of honour and worth through his whole Book he makes it his business to rail at good men and defend the bad He being come to Folio 284 of my History finds no other aspersions then as you have heard And now you may wonder who these good men are why who but traytors He meanes them in the very next line Cobham and Ra●eigh the men and Treason the matter But Raleigh sticks most in his stomack and truly it regrets upon mine for me now againe to re-rip up the mis-actions of the dead but I am challenged he accuses me I do but defend my selfe VVhere in the Character of Raleigh he sayes I allow him a grand enemy to the Spaniard and opposer of the peace yet immed●atly after beleeves him a conspirer with the Spaniard but tells us not in what particular Folio 284.
