For this is credible to be supposed that the saide wicked Gardiner of VVinchester had long laboured his wits and to this onelie most principall marke bent all his deuises to bring this our happie and deere Soueraigne out of the waie as both by his wordes and dailie dooinges sufficientlie appeared But such was the gratious and fauourable prouidence of the Lord to the preseruation not onelie of her Royall Maiestie but also the miserable and wofull state of this whole Iland and poore Subiects of the same whereby the proude platformes and peeuishe practises of this wretched Achitophell preuailed not but contrarywise both he and all the snares and trappes of his pernitious councell laide against an other were turned to a nette to catch himselfe according to the Prouerbe Malum consilium consultori pessimum After the death of this Gardiner followed the death also and dropping awaie of other her enimies wherby by little and little her ieopardie decreased feare deminished hope of comfort beganne to appeare as out of a darke clowde And albeit her Grace as yet had no full assuraunce of perfect safetie yet more gentle entertainement did dailie growe vnto her tyll at length to the moneth of Nouember seuentéene day of the same thrée yéeres after the death of Stephen Gardiner followed the death of Quéene Marie After whose deceasse succeeded her foresaide Sister Lady Elizabeth into her right of the Crowne of England who after so long restraintment so great daungers escaped such blustering storms ouerblowne so many iniuries digested and wrongs susteined by the mightie protection of our mercifull God to our no small comfort and commoditie hath beene exalted and erected out of thrall to libertie out of daunger to peace and quietnesse from dread to dignitie from miserie to Maiestie from mourning to ruling breefelie of a prisoner made a Princesse and placed in her throne Royall proclaimed now Queene with as many glad heartes of her Subiectes as euer was any King or Queene in this Realme before her or euer shall be I dare saye heereafter the Lord long holde his hand ouer her and send her to rule many and happy yeeres I beseech him Amen In this pittifull and rufull Historie thou hast O England three especiall thinges to consider First the hardnesse of the time then being and the vnmercifulnesse of those mens hearts who prepared all their deuillishe pollicies and inuented a world of wyles and deceites whereby they might gaine oportunitie to destroy this woorthy and famous Lady whose innocencie could not appease their blood thirstinesse nor whose vertues could not asswage their cruell dealing but euen as the wicked Iewes cried death against our Sauiour euen so these vnnaturall men did their vttermost against this Noble Lady Secondlie thou art to note her woonderfull patience her assured trust in God who neuer fayled her and euen when death was most of all threatned to her and that many occasions was giuen for her to doubt the same her patience was not any iote the more mooued but being confident in God to whom she referred the state of her innocencie and extremitie of their rigorous intentes she passed through all those agonies with a cheerefull and vndaunted heart and their practises to feare her was not so horrible but her patience in suffering was as admirable Thirdlie thou must remember the ready working hand of God for her in all her daungers how gratiouslie he preuented their deuises and had such an especiall care ouer his Daughter as no extremitie whatsoeuer could preuaile against her For which exceeding loue towardes thee how highlie thou art bound to his heauenlie Maiestie the manifold happy blessinges thou hast and doost receiue by her can sufficientlie tell thee But as I haue heeretofore giuen thee to vnderstand the punishment of Treason and tretcherous practises in the raignes of the Kinges before passed so likewise I must craue leaue a little to speake of such matters as hath happened since the raigne of our Soueraigne Lady and Quéene and then will we procéede on with the rest of our intent ¶ Since the raigne of our most gratious and Soueraigne Lady Queene Elizabeth THe fourth and fift day of Ianuarie did suffer at Durham to the number of thrée score and six Constables and other who were pertakers in the rebellion in the North with the Lordes of Westmerland and Northumberland amongst whome an Alderman of the Towne and a Priest called Plometree were the most notable Then Sir George Bowes Marshall finding many to be faultors in the foresaide rebellion did sée them executed in euerie

Trūpet and Drum to haue raysed a number and then to proclaime their deuillishe pretence against Straungers and other This matter was vttered by Thomas Kete one of the conspiracie vnto Iohn Kensey who foorthwith sent the same Kete with a Constable to the next Iustice before whome and other Iustices he opened the whole matter Whereupon Maister Dreugh Drewrie immediatlie apprehended Iohn Throckmorton

is by and by going to the place that they all preach of But this shall I desire you to remember that the one part of you is of my blood the other of my alyes and eche of you with other either of kindred or affinitie which Spirituall kindred of affinitie if the Sacraments of Christes Church beare that weight with vs as would God they did should no lesse mooue vs to charitie then the respect of fleshly consanguinitie Our Lord forbid that you loue together the wurse for the selfe cause you ought to loue the better and yet it happeneth and no where finde we so deadlie debate as among them who by nature and lawe ought most to agrée together Such a pestilent Serpent is ambition and desire of vaineglorie and soueraigntie which among States where he once entreth créepeth so farre foorth till with deuision and variaunce he turneth all to mischéefe first longing to be best afterward equall with the best and at last chéefe aboue the best Of which immoderate appetite of worship and thereby of debate and discention what losse what sorrowe what trouble hath within these fewe yéeres growne in this Realme I praye God as well forgette as we well remember which thinges if I could as well haue foreséen as I haue with my more paine then pleasure prooued by Gods blessed Lady for that was euer his oath I would neuer haue wunne the courtesie of mennes knées with the losse of so many heads But séeing thinges past cannot be called againe much ought we the more beware by what occasion we haue taken so great hurt before that we est soones fall not in that occasion againe Nowe is all these gréefes past and all is God be thanked quiet and likely right well to prosper in wealthfull peace vnder your Couzins my children if God send them life and you loue of which two thinges the lesse losse were they by whome though God did his pleasure yet should the Realme alway finde Kinges and peraduenture as good Kinges But if you among your selues in a Childes raigne fall at debate many a good man shall perishe and happilie he too ere this Land finde peace againe Wherefore in these last wordes that euer I looke to speake with you I exhort you and require you all for the loue that you haue euer borne to me for the loue that I haue euer borne to you for the loue that our Lord beareth vnto vs all from this time foreward all gréefes forgotten eche of you loue other which I verilie trust you will if you any thing regard either God or your King affinitie or kindred this Realme your owne Countrie or your owne suretie And therewithall the King enduring no longer to sitte vp laide him downe on his right side his face towardes them and none was there present that could refraine from wéeping But the Lordes recomforting him with as good wordes as they could and aunswering for the time as they thought to stand with his pleasure there in his presence as by their wordes appeared eche forgaue other and ioyned their handes together when as it after appeared by their déedes their heartes were farre a sunder The young King after the decease of his Father came towardes London when the Duke of Glocester his Unckle began greatlie to thirst for the kingdome and wexed very enuious that so young a Prince should reigne whervpon he depriued the young King of them that were néerest about him and whome he thought would hinder his aspiring minde First Sir Anthonie Wooduile Lord Riuers and brother to the Quéene who had the gouernaunce and ordering of the young King he caused to put him in duraunce and afterward euen in the Kinges presence he procured a quarrell to be picked with the Lord Richard Grey the Kings other Brother by the Mother and arrested him and Sir Thomas Vaughan Knight and so farre procéeded he in his determination by the aide of the Duke of Buckingham and others as the Lord Riuers the Lord Grey Sir Thomas Vaughan were sent into the North partes to sundrie prisons but afterward were all beheaded at Pomfret Then did he take vpon him the gouernance of the young King and was called the Lord Protectour when hauing the King in his custodie he could not be yet contented except he had the other brother too and therefore by meanes of the Lord Cardinall he preuailed in his purpose and brought the other Childe to the King his Brother into the Bishops Pallace at Paules and from thence through the Cittie honourablie into the Tower out of the which after that day they neuer came abroade When the Protector had both the Children thus in his custody he opened his intent more boldly both to certaine other men as also chéefelie to the Duke of Buckingham that he would néedes be King himselfe in all the haste and he should haue the Dukes aide to make him King besides the Protectors onelie lawfull Sonne should marie the Dukes daughter and that the Protectour should graunt him the quiet possession of the Earledome of Hertforde and beside these requestes of the Duke the Protectour promised him of his owne minde a great quantitie of the Kings Treasure and of his houshold stuffe In bréefe the Protectour taketh vpon him to be King and so preuailed that he was crowned King but when he remembred that his two Nephewes were liuing in the Tower and one of them the right King in déede he perswaded himselfe as verie well he might that men would account him to haue no right to the Realme therefore he thought to dispatch them out of the way as though the killing of his kinsemen could amend his cause make him a kindlie King Upon this he sent one Iohn Greene whome he specially trusted to Sir Robert Brakenburie Constable of the Tower with a letter credence also that the same Sir Robert should in any wise put the two Chyldren to death but when Iohn Greene had doone his errand to Sir Robert he plainlie aunswered that by no meanes he would put them to death When King Richard perceyued he could not preuaile that way he brake the matter to Sir Iames Tirrell whome he found verie tractable to his intent wherefore he sent him on the morrowe with a Letter to Sir Robert Brakenburie by which Letter he was commaunded to delyuer to Sir Iames all the keies of the Tower for one night to the ende he might there accomplish the Kinges pleasure in such thinges as he had giuen him commaundement After which Letter deliuered and the keies receiued Sir Iames appointed the night ensuing to destroy the two young Princes deuising before and preparing the meanes The Prince so soone as the Protectour had lefte that name and tooke vpon himselfe to be King was thereof infourmed that he should not reigne but his Unckle would haue the Crowne At which
