of your dayes syth it will not be auailable for the attayning of his desire The mightiest in succession as your Maiestie knoweth are they whose alliance kind red and confederacies are for the most part with papistes whose faction beinge great strong and mighty abroad it standeth your excellency vpon somuch the more to wraken it at home and thereby to prouide an inwarde strength against an outwarde force whereas otherwise your state shall seeme to depend vpon the will of your successor amost vnsure foundation perilous syth so easily it may be altered with ambition and the desire of a kingdome which knoweth no kindred with the which whensoeuer it shall be enflamed theire forraine forces shall not be so dangerous vnto your maiestie as the partie they haue within the realme if it be of strength whom the feruent desire of a third thinge will ioyne to the forraine in such a knot of indissoluble society as in all probabilitie will proue perilous and dangerous to your highnes But this lawe established your successors shall perceaue themselues so cut off from all stronge partye within your land that they shall thereby be greatly discouraged from any such ambitious attempts For taking view of your whole subiects they shall finde either protestants of religion their most mortall enimies if they attempt any thinge against your maiestie or els protestants of estate men that will not alter theire present contentment for an vncertaine innouation or els papists of religion who being but few in number discontented and disarmed without either followers or furniture will rather daunt their spirits with theire nakednes then encourage them with their power The estat of your subiects being brought to this passe it is in your maiestie by a better learned and more painfull ministery and by seuere discipline as it were by motiues more effectual mightily to increase the first dayly to diminish the second third and to propulse the relapsses of either to the great increasinge of the church of God the great strengthing and safegard of your estate and to the saluation of infinite soules Syth then this law can breede no perill to your highnes at home but wil be the ground cause of much strength and securities vnto your Maiestie it remaineth to be considered how that mightie faction of papists will disgest it abroad Theire power assuredly it can no way increase and their will I perswade my selte it cannot exasperate being already at the very worst and extremest poynt of discontentment But if it did I knowe right well that the fortitude and magnanimitie of your kingly minde would little esteeme it and vtterly despise it And if it should come to pase in your Maiesties dayes that the princes of Meshech and Tuball the forces of Gomer the house of Toggarmah out of the north should confederate togeather as it is rehersed in Ezekiell chapter 38. and recapitulated by S. Iohn and should say one to the other we will goe vp to the land of vnwalled villages to them that be at rest which dwell safely dwellinge without wals and hauinge neither barres nor gates even to the land which bath bene tost with the sword and is now gathered togeather of many nationes which haue gotten cattell and goods dwell safe we will goe togeather to spoyle a praye to gett a booty to take away siluer and gold to carry away cattell and goods and to haue a great pray yet whensoeuer they shall put the same in execution it is prophesied and promised that the sword of the Lord shal be vpon them in all the mountaines of Israell By this lawe lett vs make our selues an vn mouable mountaine of Israell for the sword of the Lord wil be vpon his enimies not in the sandes nor in the seaes but in the mountaynes of Israell If we be neither hott nor cold but luke warme and so rather frozen then feruent when the Lord shall tast vs in to his iudgment he will voyd vs out of the mouth of his maiestie But if we be a mountayne of Israell the sword of the Lord wil be with vs against our enimies with pestilence blood will he plead against them stormes rayne and haylestones and vpon all that great people that is with them Thus will he be magnified sanctified and knowne in the eyes of many nations they shall knowe that he is the Lord. This coÌ„stancy this zeale in the Lords cause this perpetuation of hi truth to our posteritie is a part of duty acceptable to God it is a meane as it were that draweth vpon vs his great singular and manifold blessinges which notablye appeareth in that excellent testimony that God giueth of the integritie of Abraham gen 18. 19 knowe this also saith the Lord that Abraham will commaund his children and his houshould after him that they keepe the way of the Lord that they may doe Iustice and Iudgment that the Lord may brings vpon Abraham the blessings that he hath promised I doubt not but what the divine maiestie knewe herein of Abraham the father of the faithfull he knoweth the same likewise of your highnes a mother in Issraell a motherly estate that excludeth not perpetuall virginity and an heauenly estate that includeth eternall felicity I doubt not I say but the Lord knoweth this also that Queene Elizabeth will commaund her subiects and her seruants after her to keepe the way of the lord to do Iustice and Iudgment that the Lord may bring vpon Queene Elizabeth the blessings that he hath purposed This law and commaundement of God to keepe the way of the lord to maintayne and perpetuate his truth and doctrine to our posteritie is that which we most humly and feruently desire at the hands of God and of your Maiestie It stan deth with his glorie we craue it of his goodnes It standeth with your safety we craue it of your wisdome FINIS By Thomas Diggs Gentleman To the most Reuerend Archbishops and right reuerend Lord Bishops of both prouinces I am occasioned right reuerend Fathers or rather prouoked to publish this petition longe since penned but whether deliuered accordings to the pretence I know not by the Papists their packing to make Burgisses for this Parliament by their earnestnes against the former Bill for xiâ—d to be had of such as without convenient cause should not be present at least on Sundayes at divine service or preaching of Gods word in some Church or Chappell by their publishing beokes mo than a good many pretending a controuersy betwene secular Priests and Iesuits but intending to make way at least for a toler-ation of popery which they hoped and so gaue out throughout the realme to obtaine by this parliament I call them papists who were so earnest against that bill For who but papists would pronounce that penaltie to be extreame plead that people are not to be compelled but perswaded to come to Church doubt whether lay men may meddle in any Church matter But their

popish and dangerous ende discouered hereafter â—oth manifesse them to be papists though some of them disclaymed that name and yet are not therby Iustified For Dolman saith that papists and puritans would not be so called But did they deny themselues to be Romish Catholiques Whatsoeuer they pretend I freely confesse that the end of my publishing this petition is by putting this motioÌ„ for Association to preserue religion established into the heades of wise and religious men to occasion something to be thought of whereby the hope of the Papists might be vtterly frustrated I present it to your Lordships by name as to them who haue will and power to prevent the purpose of the Papists and to further so good a motion as this I will not discourse against toleration sith I wright to your Fatherhoods who out of your profession can best tell that it is a principall clause of the new couenaunt that there should be but one Shepheard and one sheepfould one God one way So that they are no sound gospellers that harken to a toleration of Antichristianity vnder a most christian Queene who hath suffered for the gospell both subiect soueraigne But good my Lords giue me leaue to say somwhat for AssociatioÌ„ in this petition perswaded and the rather because in these printed babbles and brabbles the Papists indeuour to make ciuill warre betwene the best christians that is as Dolman diuids and discribes them Protestants viz. such as depend vpon ecclesiastical dignities and Puritans viz. such as pretend perfection in religion Call to minde right reuerend the course of times remember that when the Earle of Leicester liued it went for currant that all Papists were Traitors in action or affection He was no sooner dead But Sir Christopher Hatton noted by Philopater for publique and bitter invectiues against papists being one himselfe he bearing swaye Puritans were trounced and traduced as troublers of the state Presently after his death there comes forth by meanes of the late Lord Treasurer a proclamation and commissions throughout the land to inquire for Priests for their receiuers recusants and such like least if they were not looked vnto betime the informations which were sent to Rome and Spaine of the number and readines of prepared papists should proue too true at the spanish second inuasion then intended But now that that Lord Treasurer is gone and the Earle of Essex through his fatall error taken away the cry is Preists be tolerable men but Puritans may not be abidden Remember I say and pray these thinges And consider Whether a Snake lurkes not vnder the grasse and whether there be not some crafty Sinon of Sir Christopher Hattons stampe as it is imprinted by Philopater who maketh way to these Troian horsses the popish Bookes If this may be supposed I beseech your Lordships enter into this further consideration that if diuision betwene protestants and puritans be avialable for Popery the contrary must needs be good for the preseruation of religion established But if it may please your Lordships to giue me leaue to signifie the cause why they thus peswade the oppression of puritans I doubt not but that yee will feare his feare who said Timeo Danaos vel dona ferentes and suspect the perswasion of such enimies as with whom it is a ground of policie as well in peace as in warr Dolus an virtus quis in hoste requirit and a Constant CanoÌ„ that faith is not to be keept with here tiques The cause is sufficiently bewrayed in the wardword and answer to a Iesuited gentleman to witt that wheras they take the puritans to be their gratest opposits they would haue theÌ„ especially knowne professors to be kept downe Quousque while the catholike parttie to vse their owne words may haue some swaye in the ballance with them In which cause let vs obserue three things First they pretend to hold only the puritans for their opposits As if your Lordships could be content to giue way to their toleration and yet they cannot but take knowledge and that with some signification of their feeling of that worthy Prelate the Lord Bishop of Duresme his godly exhortation at Pauls crosse against toleration they cannot but in their Quodlibets scornefully terme the godly sermon of that reuerend father the Bishop of Chester a preachmeÌ„t report him to be a pvritans for inueighinge against theÌ„ at Pauls crosse equallyas against the Iesuits and they cannot but ioyne even in these Bookes Caluinists with Puritans Now this word Caluinists comprehendeth Protestants as well as Puritans So that we may gather that when their time serueth they will speake out that which Bristow in his motiues writeth viz. That we are all puritans in hart But your Lordships are wise to conclude that if the Admirant of Arragon spared the papists no more then other in the borders of Germany if it be true which the priests now report That the Duke of Medina said that if he had preuailed against England with his invincible Armado He would haue spared papists no more than protestants but make way for his maister Then they will not spare your Lordships in their golden or bloudy day though ye should plead neuer so earnestly that ye are L. Bishops and no puritans To this end is the second note to be obserued to wit that knowne professors are specially aimed at And here I pray yow remember that Edward Squyre was sent to poyson her Maiestie whom God preserue as well as the Earle of Essex Is our gratious Queene a puritan Nay was the Earle a puritan who was lead by Papists in his sinnfull attempt and at his arraignment misliked puritans opinion touching Church gouernment No no it is evident that all be puritans with them which stand for the gospell And therefore Dolman in his epistle doth cunningly insinuate aduise to make the Earle away as if he had written to this effect If her Maiestie were dead wee were not a whit the nearer our purpose so long as Essex is in place But if we could be rid of him there were none of like policy valor resolution authority and sauor with the people to hold the protestaÌ„ts together against the Infanta and popery According to which in sinuation for a signe is as good as a sentence to prepared mindes frendes of Spayne when Squiers poyson fayled working vpon the Earles impatiency by meanes and deuises drew him to that attempt of making a forcible way to preseÌ„t his ereifes to her Maiestie This is held for truth S. Robert Cicill avouching as much at Cuffes arraignment howsoeuer the answerer to the Iesuited gentleman dare sware contrary to that which is published by authority and commonly knowne that papists partakers in the Earles desastrous action were drawne they knew not wher vnto and yet none but papists were appointed toward the vtter court gate the hall and presence and to kepe the Honorable personages whom her Maiestie sent to the Earle and none but such
