whosoever was Reconciled to the Pope from the obedience of the Queens Majesty was in case of Treason My Lord confessed that Bridges did confess him but not reconcile him in Earl any such sort but only for absolution of his sins Mr. Popham charged him that he did once submit himself but Sithence Popham fell from his submission and therefore practised new Treasons He confessed he was acquainted with the Priests and by two of them had been absolved and confessed Earl Sithence which time said Mr. Popham he came to the Church and fell to Popham the Catholick Cause again which he cannot do by their Order unless he be Reconciled My Lord denyed that ever he came to the Church after that time There was a Letter sent to the Queen of Scots by Morgan of France in Commendation of two Priests wherein he saith one of them had reconciled Morgan of France the Earl of Arundel Edmonds a Priest upon Examination said that Reconciliation was odious Edmonds a Priest Earl My Lord said these be but Allegations and Circumstances and that they ought to be proved by two Witnesses It was justified he said once in the Star-Chamber amongst the Lords there assembled concerning a Libel there in Question that whosoever was a Priest or Papist was an arrant Traytor Mr. Popham said it was a discontentment made my Lord a Catholick and Popham not Religion and that he did disguise himself in shadow of Religion There was a Picture shewed that was found in my Lords Trunk wherein Picture was painted a Hand bitten with a Serpent shaking the Serpent into the fire about which was written this Poesie quis contra nos on the other side was painted a Lyon Rampant with his Forces all bloody with this Poesie tamen Leo my Lord said one Wilgrave his man gave him the same with a pair of Hangers for a New years gift One Jonas Meridith being examined c. by way of Communication with a Towns-man who commended my Lord of Arundel for his forwardness Meridith in that he had often observed my Lord at Pauls Cross This Jonas answered that he knew he had often been at Pauls-Cross in the Fore-noon and hath heard a Mass with him at the Charter-house in the afternoon To this my Lord said nothing but seemed to deny it My Lord being examined in the Tower of his sudden going away to Sea Earl he answered to serve the Prince of Parma or whither Dr. Allen should direct him for the Cause Catholick My Lord said also he was going away for fear of some Statute should be made in the 22d of this Queens Reign against the Catholicks in that Parliament and that Dr. Allen advised him that he should not come over if he could tarry here in any safety because he might be the better able to make a Party in England when they came Before my Lords going to Sea he writ a Letter to be given the Queen after he was gone wherein he found fault with her hard dealing in giving countenance to his Adversaries and in disgracing him and that he was discontented with the Injustice of the Realm towards his great Grand-Father his Grand-Father and his Father My Lord said Hollinshead was faulty for setting forth in his Chronicle that his Grand-Father was attainted by Act of Parliament but shewed no Hollinshead cause wherefore He said in his Letter his Grand-Father was condemned for such trifies that the people standing by were amazed at it he found fault also with the proceedings against his Father Whereby 't is apparent said Mr Popham 't was discontentment moved my Lord and not Religion and fearing lest his friends should think amiss of him Popham he left a Copy of his Letter with Bridges a Traytor to be dispersed to make the Catholicks to think well of him for said Mr. Popham being discontented he became a Catholick and being so great a man he became a Captain of the Catholicks which is as much as to be a Captain over Traytors A Counterfeit Letter was made 22 dayes before his going to Sea directed to one Baker at Linne there being no such man abiding wherein was signified A Counterfe it Letter that my Lord was very hardly dealt withal by some of the Council and that he was gone into Sussex and a farther Voyage and that he would come home by Norfolk This was a Counterfeit Letter said Mr. Attorney appointed by my Lord Mr. Attorney to be dispersed to make it known he was discontented Also Allen sent a Letter to the Queen of Scots in Ciphers shewing a great party in England Allen sent my Lord word if he did come over he must take a greater Title than that of Earl upon him and therefore my Lord in this stile To Philip Duke of Norfolk Earl of Arundel Babington in his examination said the Queen of Scots sent him word that the Earl of Arundel was a fit man to be a chief Head for the Catholicks Babington Allen sent word to Rome that the Bull which was last sent over into England Allen. was at the Intercession of a great man in England My Lord said Mr. Popham was one of the principallest and acquainted Popham thus far with Allen Ergo my Lord of Arundel that great man Dr. Allen made a most villanous and slanderous Book which was very hard to be got in which was contained that the Earl of Arundel was a procurer of the last Bull and the procurer of the Invasion also the Bull it self was some part read and the Book was part read also My Lord being charged on his confession being examined why he would be ruled thus by Dr. Allen he excused it by saying that he said he would Earl be ruled by Allen in all things saving in that did concern her Majesty and the State and thereupon appealed to my Lord Chancellor and Sir Walter Mildmay who were not present Sir Christopher Hatton Lord Chancellour The Book aforesaid intended that my Lord was a practiser with Allen about the Invasion Then said my Lord he would serve the Queen against all Princes Pope Earl or Potentates whatsoever The Queens Sollicitor stood upon these points and because it was proved Mr. Sollicitor that the Earl of Arundel would be ruled by Allen in any thing that should concern the Catholick Cause And for that Dr. Allen hath since that time practised divers monstrous Treasons and continually hath built upon the help of some chief man in England there is none yet known of his degree that hath any thing to do with Allen and therefore my Lord must needs be culpable of all the Treasons Allen hath practised and procured in flying to Allen to serve the Prince of Parma ut antea My Lord was charged with relieving of divers Traytors as Priests and that he did converse and was confederate with divers and sundry Traytors attainted indicted and suspected being Prisoners in

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE LIFE OF Mary Queen of Scots AND The Occasions that brought Her and Thomas Duke of Norfolk to their Tragical Ends. Shewing the hopes the Papists then had of a Popish Successor in England and their Plots to accomplish them With a full ACCOUNT of the TRYALS Of that QUEEN and of the said DUKE As also the TRIAL of PHILIP HOWARD Earl of Arundel From the Papers of a Secretary of Sir Francis Walsingham Now Published by a Person of Quality LONDON Printed for Tho. Cockerill at the Sign of the Three Legs in the Poultrey over-against the Stocks-Market 1681. A Preface to the following Tryals giving a brief Hystorical Account of the Life of Mary Queen of Scots and the occasions that brought both Her and the Duke of Norfolk to their Tragical Ends and the Earl of Arundel to his Trial c. IT may seem strange or unseasonable while the Press labours daily with the present Popish Plot to trouble the world with that which concerns only Those that so long ago are past and gone But as there are too many amongst us that question the Reality of the present Conspiracy so there are not a few that deny the Truth of those heretofore Or if they acknowledge any thing either of the Powder-Treason or Babingtons Conspiracy they extenuate the same almost to nothing by alledging that they were attempted by a few Private High-Spirited Gentlemen extreamly provoked with great Injuries and bitter usage which were the only causes of their desperate Resolutions for which they themselves sufficiently suffered and that therefore their Treasons are no more to be filed to the Account of their Church c. But by the following papers I conceive these Evasions will be silenced for thereby it will appear 1. That there was during a great part of Queen Elizabeths Reign a continued Series of Popish Treasons successively though God be blessed unsuccessfully carried on and that not by a few Desperado's but by a great number of persons of the most considerable Fortunes and Abilities of the Roman Catholick Religion 2ly That the main intentive and scope of the said Conspirators as every where they declare was to root out Protestantism and set up Popery unto which Attempts they were chiefly animated by the prospect of an immediate Popish Successor viz. the said Mary Queen of Scots 3ly That the Papists then were to make use of the same Vmbrage as now they do viz. to raise Lyes and Slanders of the Puritans and prerend that they designed Rebellion only to colour their own real Treasons as appears by the Queen of Scots Letter to Babington 4ly That these fatal Councils of the Guises and Popish Priests brought that great Princess who had the misfortune to be led by them to Ruine so that by endeavouring to anticipate the Succession she not only lost it but also her Life These and several other Remarkables which no doubt the Judicious Reader will observe in the perusal occasioned the publication of the ensuing papers at this time 'T is confessed the same are not so exactly taken as the Tryals of the present Age The Ingenious Skill of Speedy and short writing being much improved since those times yet it is evident by the Manuscript that there was no little care and diligence used therein so that nothing material seems to have escaped nor do any Historians give so punctual an Account of the Transactions as these papers which before never saw the Light concerning the Authentickness and Truth of which the Antientness of the hand-writing of the Original might be a sufficient Testimony had we not another more probable Argument which is That they were lately found amongst some Ancient papers that heretofore belonged to a Secretary of Sir Francis Walsingham an eminent Minister of State at that juncture For whose use 't is very credible the same were so curiously collected Besides If any shall be be at the pains to examine them they will find them to agree in the main with the Histories of those times not only with the Learned Cambden and the rest of our own Writers but with the Great Thaunus nay with the Jesuit Strada too But for the satisfaction of those Readers that are not so conversant in History that they may the better understand what they meet with in these Tryals we conceive it will not be unwelcome to prefix a brief Account of the Life and unhappy Fortunes of the Illustrious Mary of Scotland on whose Adventures all these prosecutions did depend wherein we shall impartially state matter of Fact without the Reflections of Buchanan or intollerable flatteries of Causin the Jesuit Mary Queen of Scots was the daughter and sole Legitimate Issue of James the fifth King of Scotland and of Mary his Queen a daughter of the house of Lorrain born in December 1541. she was scarce eight dayes old when the King her Father dyed and the Scottish Nobility being divided into Factions whereof the Family of the Hamiltons and the Earl of Lenox were the respective Heads The one side supported by King Henry the eighth of England and the other by the French King Henry the second she was by her Mother who being a French-woman inclined unto that Kings Interest sent into France about five or six years of Age to learn the Accomplishments of that Court. There she was educated under the French King and the house of Guise her Uncles who being desperate Enemies to the Reformation seasoned her with violent principles against the Protestant Religion she was a Lady very proper and beautiful of a great Wit and Courage beyond her Sex These Advantages and much more several important Reasons of State induced the French King to conclude her a fit Match for his Son the Dauphin For hereby they thought themselves not only sure to unite the Kingdoms of France and Scotland she being Sovereign Queen of the latter as he was Heir apparent to the former but also had a prospect of the Crown of England looking upon this Mary of Scotland as Great Grand-child to King Henry the seventh to be the next Heiress thereunto after Mary who had by this time mounted the English Throne For as for her sister Elizabeth they not only knew her to be one they called an Heretick but also gave out she was Illegitimate and so on both Accounts represented her as uncapable to succeed Hereupon a Marriage was solemnized between the Dauphin and this Princess Apr. 24th 1588. in Nostredam Church at Paris On the 27th of November following Queen Mary of England after a short Reign rendred infamous to all Posterity by the Butcheries committed on Protestants departed this Life And though Elizabeth according to her undoubted Right was with the general consent and applause of the Lords Commons and all the people proclaimed Queen and most happily succeeded her in the Throne yet had the Guises inveigled the French-King into such strong hopes of adjoyning England to the Crown of France by the aforesaid Title of

for that her malice appeareth such that she maketh as it were her Testament of the same to be executed after her death and appointeth her Executors to perform it 3. She openly and boldly professed it lawful for her to move Invasion upon you and therefore as of Invasion victory may ensue and of victory the death of the vanquished so did she thereby not obscurely bewray that she thought it lawful for her to destroy your Sacred Person 4. She thinks it not only lawful but honourable also and meritorious to take your life from you as being already deprived of your Crown by the Excommunication of the Holy Father and therefore it is like she will as hitherto she hath done continually seek it by whatsoever means 5. That she is greedy of your Majesties death and preferred it before her own life and safety For in her direction to one of her late Complices she advised under covert terms that whatsoever should become of her that Tragical Execution should be perform'd on you Secondly Touching the danger of the overthrow of the true Religion 1. It is most perilous to spare her that continually hath sought the overthrow and suppression of true Religion infected with Popery from her tender youth and being after confederate in that Holy League when she came to age and ever since a professed enemy against the Truth 2. She resteth wholly upon Popish hopes to deliver and advance her and is thereby so devoted to that profession that as well for satisfaction of others as for feeding of her own humour she will supplant the Gospel where and whensoever she may which evil is so much the greater and the more to be avoided as that it slayeth the very soul and will spread it self not only over England and Scotland but also in those parts beyond Sea where the Gospel of God is maintained the which cannot but be exceedingly weakned by the defection of this Noble Island Thirdly Touching the peril of the state of the Realm 1. As the Lydians said Unum Regem agnoscunt Lydi duos autem tolerare non possunt so we say Unicam Reginam Elizabethem agnoscunt Angli duas autem tolerare non possunt 2. As she hath already by her allurements brought to destruction more Noblemen and their houses together with a greater multitude of the Commons of this Realm during her being here than she should have been able to do if she had been in possession of her own Crown and armed in the Field against us so will she be the continual cause of the like spoils to the greater loss and peril of this Estate and therefore this Realm neither can nor may endure her 3. Again She is the only hope of all discontented Subjects she is the foundation whereon all the evil-disposed do build she is the Root from whence all Rebellions and Treacheries do spring and therefore whilst this hope lasteth this foundation standeth and this Root liveth they will retain heart and set on foot all their devises against the Realm which otherwise will fall away die and come to nothing 4. Mercy now in this case towards her would in the end prove Cruelty against us all Nam est quaedam Crudelis Misericordia and therefore to spare her is to spill us 5. Besides It will exceedingly grieve and in a manner deadly wound the hearts of all good Subjects of your Land if they shall see a Conspiracy so horrible not condignly punished 6. Thousands of your Majesties most Leige and Loving Subjects of all sorts and degrees that in a tender zeal of your Majesties safety have most willingly both by open Subscription and solemn Vow entered into a firm and loyal Association and have thereby protested to pursue unto the death by all forcible and possible means such as she is by just Sentence found to be can neither discharge their love nor well save their Oaths if your Majesty shall keep her alive of which burden your Majesties Subjects are most desirous to be relieved as the same may be if Justice be done 7. Lastly Your Majesties most loving and dutiful Commons doubt not but as your Majesty is duly exercised in reading the Book of God so it will please you to call to your Princely remembrance how fearful the examples of Gods vengeance be that are to be found against King Saul for sparing King Agag and against King Ahab for saving the life of Benhadad both which were by the just Judgment of God deprived of their Kingdoms for sparing those wicked Princes whom God had delivered into their hands of purpose to be slain by them as by the Ministers of his Eternal and Divine Justice wherein full wisely Solomon proceeded to punishment when he took the life of his own natural elder Brother Adonias for the only intention of a Marriage that gave suspition of Treason against him Herein We your Majesties most loving and dutiful Subjects earnestly depend upon your Princely resolution which we assure our selves shall be to God most acceptable and to us no other than the state of your Regal Authority may afford us and the approved Arguments of your tender care for our safety under your Charge doth promise to our expectation To this Address the Queen returned Answer in a large Speech soon after Printed and too long here to recite but amongst other things she used these expressions Albeit I find my life hath been dangerously sought and my death contrived without desert yet I am therein so clear from malice as I protest it is and hath been to me the greatest grief that one not different in Sex of like Estate and near of kin should fall into so great a crime yea I had so little purpose to pursue her with malice that as it is not unknown to some of my Lords here I secretly wrote her a Better upon the discovery of several Treasons that if she would privately acknowledg them by her Letters to my self she should never be called so publickly in question for them neither did I that to circumvent her for I knew then as much as she could confess and so did I write And if even yet now that the matter is made but too apparent I thought she truly would repent as perhaps she would easily appear in outward shew to do and that for her none other would take the matter upon them or that but mine own life only were in danger and not the whole estate of your Religion and well doings I protest I would most willingly pardon and remit this offence Or if by my death other Nations and Kingdoms might say that this Realm had attained an ever prosperous and flourishing Estate I would I assure you not desire to live but gladly give my life to the end it might procure you a better Prince I am not unmindful of your Oath made in the Association manifesting your great good wills and affections taken and entred into upon good Conscience and true knowledg of the guilt for safety of my

ANTHONY BABINGTON The Traytor 's LETTER Written by him to the SCOTISH QUEEN As followeth MOst Mighty most Excellent my Dread Sovereign Anthony Babington 's Letter to the Scotish Queen Lady and Queen unto whom I owe all Fidelity and Obedience It may please your Gracious Majesty to admit excuse of my long silence and distance from those dutiful Offices intercepted upon the Remove of your Royal Person from the ancient place of your Abode to the Custody of a wicked Puritan and meer Lecestrain a mortal Enemy both by Faith and Faction to Your Majesty and to the Catholick Estate I held the Hope of our Country's Weal depending next under God upon the Life of Your Majesty to be desperate and thereupon resolved to depart the Realm determining to spend the remnant of my Life in such sollitary sort as the miserable and wretched Estate of my Country doth require only expecting according to the just Judgment of God the present Confusion thereof which God for his Mercy sake prevent The which my purpose being in Execution and standing upon my Departure there was addressed unto me from the Parts beyond the Seas one Ballard a Man of Nurture and Learning and Ballard a Traytor of singular Zeal to the Catholick Cause and Your Majesty's Service The Man informed me of great Preparations by the Christian Princes Your Majesty's Allies for the Deliverance of our Country from the extream and miserable Estate wherein for a long time it hath remained Which when I understood my Spiritual Desire was to advertise by what means I might with the hazard of my Life and all my Friends in general do your Sacred Majesty one days good Service Whereupon most dread Sovereign according to the great care which those Princes have of the preservation and safe deliverance of Your Majesty's Sacred Person I advised of means and considered of Circumstances accordingly to and with so many of the wisest and most trusty as with safety I might commend the Secrecy thereof unto I do find by the Assistance of the Lord Jesus assurance of good Effect and desired Fruit of your Travel These things are first to be advised in this great and honourable Action upon issue of which dependeth not only the Life of Your Most Excellent Majesty which God long preserve to your inestimable Comfort and to the Salvation of English Souls and the Lives of all us Actors therein but also the Honour and Weal of our Country far more dear than our Lives unto us and the last hope ever to recover the Faith of our Fore-fathers and to redeem our selves from the Servitude and Bondage which hereby heretofore hath been imposed upon us with the loss of many thousand Souls First in the assuring of Invasions sufficient strength on the Invaders parts to arrive are appointed with a strong Party at every place to win with them and warrant their Landing the Deliverance of Your Majesty the Dispatch of the Usurping Competitors For the effecting of all may it please Your Majesty to rely upon my Service I protest before the Almighty who hath long miraculously preserved Your Royal Person no doubt to some universal Good that what I have said shall be performed or all our Lives happily lost in the Execution thereof Which Vow all the chief Actors have taken solemnly and are upon Assurance by Your Majesties to me to receive the Blessed Sacrament thereupon either to prevail in the Churches behalf and Your Majesty's or fortunately to die for so honourable a Cause Now for asmuch as Delays are extreme dangerous it might please Your most Excellent Majesty by Your Wisdom to direct us and by Your Princely Authority to enable us and such as may advance the Affairs For seeing there is not any of the Nobility at liberty assured to Your Majesty in this desperate Service except unknown unto us and seeing that it is very necessary that some there be to become Heads to lead the Multitude who are disposed by Nature in this Land to follow Nobility Considering withal it doth not only make the Commons and Country to follow without Contradiction or Contention which is ever found in Equality but also doth add great Courage to the Leaders For which necessary Regard I would recommend some to Your Majesty as are fittest in my knowledge to be Your Lieutenants in the West Parts in the North Parts South-Wales and North-Wales the Countries of Lancaster Darby and Stafford In all which Countries Parties being already made and Fidelity taken in Your Majesty's Name I hold them as most assured and of undoubted Fidelity My self with ten Gentlemen of Quality will undertake the Delivery of Your Person from the Hands of Your Enemies And for the Dispatch of the Usurper from Obedience of whom by executing her we shall be made free there be Six Noble Gentlemen all my private Friends who for the Zeal they bear to the Catholick Cause and Your Majesty's Service will undertake the Tragical Execution It resteth that according to their infinite Deserts and Your Majesty's Bounty their Heroical Attempts may be honourably rewarded in them if they escape with Life or in their Posterity and that so much by Your Majesty's Authority I may be able to assure them Now it remaineth only in Your Majesty's Wisdom that it be reduced into Method that Your happy Deliverance be first for that thereupon dependeth the only Good and that the other Circumstances concur that the Untimely End of the one do not overthrow the rest All which Your Majesty s wonderful Experience and Wisdom will dispose in so good manner as I doubt not through God's Good Assistance shall take deserved effect for the obtaining of which every one of us shall think his Life most happily spent Vpon the Twelfth Day of this Month I will be at Leitchfield expecting Your Majesties Answers and Letters to execute what by them shall be commanded Your Majesties Faithful Subject and Sworn Servant Anthony Babington The Answer of the Scottish Queen to a Letter written by Anthony Babington the Traitor as followeth TRusty and

Barnwell perswaded that it was a deed lawful and being urged that he came to the Court to spie opportunities for the atchieving of their purposes and that being there her Majesty observing his prying looks acquainted before with their intents she prayed God that all were well To this he answered that it was not unknown to divers of the Councel that he had matters which he solicited which was the cause of his being there at that time but I confess said he at my return Babington asked me what news to whom I told that her Majesty had been abroad that day with all the circumstances that I saw there and if I have offended her Majesty I crave forgiveness and assuredly if the sacrifice of my body might establish her Majesty in the true Religion I would most willingly offer it up Then he prayed to himself in Latin and was executed Chidiocke Tuchborne Esq began to speak as followeth viz. Country-men 5.
