But to all the other stuffe his nonsence Tua non mordet I pitty his ignorance and disdain to answer but refer to the History Folio 127. Page 5. He hath skipt over the first Book of my History 262 Folioes without any other faults then as before He threatned much matter amisse Is this all A History you said page 1. a Libell against all good men all good actions servilely exalting the bad both men and matter to be hitherto only insisted upon in Essex Treason and he the good man and his the good matter But let us see the second Part where he in●ists upon Sir Walter Raleigh and begins his Observations upon King Iames whom he lamely commends the better to abuse him and basely to calumniate after For he tells us that King Iames failed in King-craft being over-reached sayes he in his treaties by all Princes and States his spending more in frivolous Embassies than would have raised an army to have settled his childrens Inheritance Simply said That he refused to be head of all the Protestant Princes in Christendome whereby he might have given Law to this World What an oversight was this But he inclined to their enemy the Papist and so ruined the one and advanced the other How prove you that Sir That his accession to England was thought the greatest happinesse but hath proved the greatest● misfortune to both And why for after a miserable and wasting civill Warr we see his posterity overthrowne and cast out of their inheritance very unlikely to repossesse it And was King Iames the cause of these calamities No not altogether who then He hath found the onely cause The secret predetermination of the all seeing God other reason no man knowes The guilty will not acknowledge til the last dreadfull day of accompt when the sentence shall say Go ye cursed c. 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. But now oh now How pittifully he payes the poore Scots A people sayes he once famous for Warr and high reputation now the most despicable conquered people upon the face of the whole earth bate me an ace quoth Bolton● worse then the Jewes their modelling all reformed Kirk hath now no where a being and the nation subjugated to a forraigne power c. 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. You have forgot ten lines before Folio 283. Where I say that at the entrance of the King he was presented by Sir VValter Raleigh with a manuscript of his making against the peace with Spaine it was his Table-talk to beget more esteem which took accordingly this answers my first assertion and the way to unbend him was the work of the Spanish faction either to buy him out of that humour or to abuse him into worse condition which was effected by this way Folio 283. And so I enter instantly upon the plot of treason and conspiracy with VVatson and Clark two Span●sh Priests Cobham and Brooks with others Grey and Raleigh c. Fol 283. And there I tell you and afterwards In what part●cular he should have served him And I proved the particulars by Cobhams confession Fol 285. That Raleigh had agreed that he should treat with Aremburg the Spanish Ambassador for 600000 Crownes to advance the title of the Lady Arabella to this Crown That Cobham under pretence of travelling should prosecute this designe in the Low-Countries Flanders France and Spain and to carry three Letters from her to the Arch-Duke Duke of Savoy and King of Spain To meet Raleigh at Iersey the place of his command and there to agree c. and Raleigh to have 7000 Crownes for his expence Fol. 285.
