A15033	The English myrror A regard wherein al estates may behold the conquests of enuy: containing ruine of common weales, murther of princes, cause of heresies, and in all ages, spoile of deuine and humane blessings, vnto which is adioyned, enuy conquered by vertues. Publishing the peaceable victories obtained by the Queenes most excellent Maiesty, against this mortall enimie of publike peace and prosperitie, and lastly a fortris against enuy, builded vpon the counsels of sacred Scripture, lawes of sage philosophers, and pollicies of well gouerned common weales: wherein euery estate may see the dignities, the true office and cause of disgrace of his vocation.

dwelleth in heauen shal laugh them to scorne the Lord shall haue them in derision and where the Pope by his proude authoritie thought to haue strayghtned the passage of the Gospell as it is set downe in the same Psalme God gaue vnto his sonne the heathen for his inheritance and the outmost partes of the earth for his possession Yea he gaue visible authoritie and reuerence vnto his Gospell either by publike obedience or priuate profession vniuersally through the world The counsell of the same Psalme might haue perswaded the Pope and his confederates To haue serued the Lorde in feare but they would not kisse but kicke against the sonne and so they perished from the right way The Pope although his pompe were brused with an yron rod and his kingdome broken like a potters vessell Yet his pride and furie abated not and by Gods prouidence knowing his capitall disgrace procéeded first from Englande he practised by his worst mallice the destruction and ouerthrowe of her prosperitie as followeth Pius the 4. hauing no great good successe of his counsell of Trent Pius Quintus who succéeded tooke a more sharpe course against her Maiestie and happie gouernment his principall enemie in whose ouerthrowe as he supposed consisted the newe raysing vp of his kingdome and in truth her prosperitie is the visible comfort of his vniuersall enemies He first began with her Maiestie His roring Bull shewed his mallice but his short hornes had small power to hurt her which Bull is declared in these worde Pius Quintus the greatest Bishop of the fulnesse of the Apostolicall power declareth Elizabeth to be bereaued or depriued of her pretended right of her kingdome and also of all and whatsoeuer dominion dignitie and preuileadge and also the Nobles subiectes and people of the sayd kingdome and all others which had sworne to her any manner of wayes to be absolued for euer from such oth and from all debt and dutie of feealtie Doctor Morton with a commission or ambassage from the saide Pope Pius to the like effect stirred the rebellion in the North. 1569. He blasted his commission and had soone moued Thomas Persy Earle of Northumberland Charles Neuel Earle of Westmerland and other Gentlemen of account in the North vnto rebellion They began their power by raising of men in the Quéenes name and with all left a warning to lessen the strength and authority of stronge papists to get fauour of the people whereof a great part fauored the old Romish religion they had a Crose and a Banner of the fiue wounds borne before them by Richard Norton They tore the English byble the Communion booke and such like at Dyrham and hauing gotten a strength of 4000. footemen and 1600. horsemen which number they could not excéede they in rebellious manner withstood all her maiesties procéedings But behold good reader how peaceably these northerne rebels were vanquished who are naturally men of fierce courages and howe like a bubble the Popes bull vanished which in times past feared mighty Emperours Kings Before the Noble Earle of Warwick was come with the Quéenes power the stout earle of Suffex the Quéenes Maiesties Liuetenant generall in the North whose vertues appeared in my booke of his life and death armed himselfe with so many of the Quéenes friends as he could get neare vnto that seruice and with all speede made towards the rebels The knowledge of his comming and the brute of the Earle of Warwicks approch with a farre greater power so amased the rebels as the two Earles of Northumberland and Westmerlande with some of their principall Gentlemen sodainly and secreatly in the night left their associates and fledde vnto Herlan in Scotland and thus without any resistance the Northerne rebels were discomforted ouerthrowne and the greatest number of them taken and many of the principall were executed and the rest were saued by the Quéenes exceeding mercie A victorie that promised great happinesse and glorie to her Maiesty in which the blood of the offenders was onely shedde and a generall rebellion was as séemeth in the beginning suppressed for the said Earles were borne in hand by Doctour Morton that all the Catholickes woulde assist them with strength as appeareth in Doctour Saunders visible Church Monarchie particulared in a treatise Intituled The execution of Iustice c. And certainly although the heads of this rebellion escaped the present vengaunce of Iustice yet neither of them escaped the worthy punishments dewe vnto traitours The Earle of Northumberland two yeares after was peaceably deliuered into the possession of her Maiesties Iustice and being by act of Parliament before attainted of treason was beheaded at Yorke The lingering myserie of the Earle of Westmerland in Spaine the low Countries and other places of his wilfull vanishment vnto a Noble minde could not but be more gréeuous then death his greatest intertainment being scarce able to sustaine the allowance of a man and a page and which was more gréeuous he was driuen to beare with the arrogant disgraces of euerie rascally Spaniard and to say the trueth not onely the Earle but all other the English fugitiues labour out such a long and a myserable life in respect of their callings if they had liued in the obedience of good subiectes as they rather deserue to bée pitied then enuyed of their worst enimies This peaceable ouerthrow in the North touched the Pope to the quicke and least that delay should cut him to the heart he by his threatning Bull published open warres against her Maiestie In May following the rebellion in the North this terrible Bull was hanged vppon the Byshoppe of Londons gate but the hornes which should haue gored her Maiesties good subiectes grew to a paire of gallowes to hange his instrument Felton in the place Felton hanged vp the Popes Bull secreatly and as a ranke traytor was himselfe hanged headed and quartered openly the Popes holinesse could not make him walke inuisible neither yet could his pardon protect him at his triall this ill successe had the Pope in his English attemps from the first houre of her Maiesties raigne the wished euents followed the procéedings of her maiesty both against the Pope and other her enimies whatsoeuer If her Maiesties and prudent Counsels searching wisedome discouered not trayterous conspiraces while they were a bréeding yet God euer more gaue grace to some of the confederates to discouer the mischiefe in a seasonable time The vengeance of Enuie was now broched and the venime thereof swelled many busie heades euen vnto their owne confusion The same yeare a daungerous conspiracie in Norfolke by Throgmorton Applearde Brooke Kete Redman and others was practised against strangers But Kete discouered the matter before the mischiefe was ripe By which reuealement an insurrection was peaceably defeated and for example of diuerse of the conspirators that were condemned onely Throgmorton Broke and Redman were hanged drawen and quartered The bloudie conspiracie of Madder and Barlowe was shortly after

dispute with the Reuerend Beza with such proud offers as promised that the holy ghost should doe some myracle by their holinesse But to acquaint the worlde with their hypocriticall iugling I certifie that there is a godly priuiledge in Geneua that strangers during thrée dayes may haue libertie to propose controuersies of religion grounded vppon a godly zeale that those that doubted in any matters of faith might be religiously instructed and so peaceably departe these bragging Iesuites protected themselues with this priuiledge and before the date was out they vanished like bubbles to which their Buls and waightiest reliques may bée compared At their arriuall in England to purchase intertainment they blasted abrode that they were come to win soules but not as S. Paul did whē he trauailed to conuert the Gentiles for he in his Apostolike habite at noone dayes in the open Cities preached the Gospel of our sauiour Iesus Christ and the open way of saluation But Campion and his fellowes disguised like Russians in secreat corners taught the traditions of the Pope and the wide passage to damnation But sée what followed Gods prouidence raised Paul after that he was stoned in Lycaonia the same deliuered him forth of prison at Philippos and out of the murthering hands of the Iewes who had vowed his death on the contrarie part his iustice discouered these night Rauens and lawfull conuiction quartered Campion and some of his obstinate companions at the gallowes for Treason with their Buls defamatorie livels and other malitious suggestions they labored to settle an opinion in her Maiesties subiectes that her excellency was a tyrant a Machiuillian and euerie way as euill as themselues who were little better than the diuell They scandaled her godly gouernment and with odious names reuiled her graue Maiestrates All which they proued as the vicar of Croyden did Aue Maria to be a praier with neuer a word of scripture for if they had béene counselled by S. Paul they would not haue reuiled their rulers yea if they had offered them vniust violence as appeareth when Ananias the hy priest caused him to be smitten on the mouth Paul vpon this vyolent temptation but answered God shall smite thee thou painted wall and after wards knowing Ananias was the hye Priest he by and by corrected his owne error and said I wist not brethren that he was the hie Priest For it is written thou shalt not cursse the ruler of the people These seditious Traitors did not onely cursse and slaunder but moue men violently to murther their annoynted soueraine Quéene Elizabeth whose life as the life of England God long continue The traitor Someruile confessed that he was moued to kill her Maiestie by the inticements of certaine of his kinsmen and Allyes and also by sundrie seditious vile bookes lately published against her Maiestie how wrongfully they charge her maiesty with tyranny their own murthering attemps and her vnappauled spirit maketh manifest Iobe saith that fearefulnes shall afright the blood thirstie on euery side The liues of tyrants are full of hatred and their persons are subiect to many perrils Horror and feare are alwayes in their eares and although they liue in peace yet are they in continuall dread of death How plesant I beseech you was the life of Aristippus whom the bare walles did feare Nay how wretched was the estate of Alexander Phareus who dreaded his owne wife and was Dionisius the Saracusains life any other than a liuing death He neuer durst trust his Barbor least he should cut his throat hée carnally accompanied not his two wiues Aristomida Dorida before he sawe them dispoyled of their garmentes his bed was inuironed with a great mote into which he entred by a draw bridge Cicero describeth the fearefull estate of a tyrant in a story betwéene the forenamed Dionisius and the Orator Damocles the morall whereof is contained in this Sonet There is no fort that seemeth safe or strong There is no foode that yeeldes a sauery tast The sweetest Lute and best composed song The chirping byrds that in the woods are plast Sound no delight but as a man forlorne The silent night doth seeme an vgly hell The softest bedde a thycket full of thorne Vnto the heart where tyranny doth dwell VVhose mind presents through horror and through dread A naked sword still falling on his head The estates of tyrantes are so myserable that of them is properly saide That Tyrants nourish feare How little that passion troubleth her maiestie is publikely known The Hargabush shotte by Appeltre that sore wounded a water-man within sixe foote of her Maiestie in her Bardge sufficed to haue appauled a martiall courage the chaunce being so rare at the first face could pretende no other than treason a daunger that tried her true Magnanimitie the matter so little feared her inuincible minde as her highnes set a part the care of her own safety to carrie the comforting of her poore wounded Barge-man The Ambassadour Mounsieur Shemere was in honour bounde who was there present to report in France that in a mortall extremitie her Maiestie whom the feare principally concerned was the least amased in the company but it may be saide that this was a casuall perrill that was not knowne before examination and her excéeding mercy in pardoning the offender cleared al suspition of tyranny Many a worthy prince to settle an awe in subiects haue suffered their Lawes to punish with death more ignorant yea altogither innocent offences but certainly the least tyrant would haue adiudged Apletre for feare that destiny had marked him to bring forth some other daungerous fruit as the Athenians did the boy that pycked out the eyes of byrdes whom they put to death vppon a suggestion that he woulde proue a tyrant But to come more neare to the shame of these slaunderous Traitors to settle if it were possible a feare in her Maiestie how diuellishly and daungerously haue they assaulted her Maiesties life The forenamed Someruile kept his resolution to kil her Maiestie euen vnto death and yet al they that are worthy to behold her princely and vnappauled countenance assuredly know that all the murthering practises of her enimies haue impressed no feare in her Magnanimous heart for feare is euermore séene in the face the reason is there is no crueltie harbored in her Royal brest which passion both bréedeth and nourisheth feare but principally when the Arche-traitor Parry tolde her Maiestie that hée had passed his promise to kill her shée was so smally abashed as the constantnesse of her countenance made him to tremble An other time when he was fully determined to haue slaine her excellencie with his dagger the assurednesse of her countenance which resembled a bright sunne shadowed with no manner of cloudes made him to lose his resolution The traitors owne tale although the same were shadowed with a dissembling loyaltie sufficed to haue impressed a ielious feare in her Maiestie but shée made so

the liuely countenance of man but wheresoeuer he beholdeth his painted image he is not in quiet vntill he hath defaced his face euen so the enuious are not satisfied in giuing vntimely deathes vnto good men but to burie the remembrance of their vertues if it possible were committe inhumane outrages vpon their ingraued bones and condemne their learned and necessarie bookes vnto the fire so that it is apparaunt that there is no possibilitie howe any other euill should matche enuie in euill for that their extreamest reuenge stretcheth but vnto death when the malice of enuie searcheth the graue which considered the enuious are more hurtfull then the Crocadile who although she hungerly prayeth vpon a liuing man yet if shee finde his dead carkase she lamenteth ouer it and with her warme teares washeth his face yea so extreame diuelish are the qualities of the enuious as Socrates likeneth enuie vnto a Viper who so soone as they haue engendered the female murdereth the male because she wil not liue as his inferiour againe the young ones eate themselues forth of their dammes intrayles because they will not be bound vnto the obedience of nature And questionlesse Socrates in the qualitie of this venimous beast rightly figureth the condition of the enuious who to compasse the desire of his defiled heart treadeth vnder foote care of his countries welfare duetifull obedience vnto his parentes and naturall affection toward his kinffolke and friendes yea which is most against kinde the enuious often times committeth wilfull outrage vpon himselfe to beholde a greater vpon his enemie according to the saying of morrall Esope The enuious desired of Iupiter to be spoyled of one of his eyes that the couetous man might lose both To which purpose many examples in my following discourses shall be shewen whereas if any other passion entiseth a man vnto euill it flattereth him with the hope of a profitable ende Moreouer though a man malice deadly yet there may be satisfaction or meanes of attonement But where there is enuie there is no hope of reconciliation whereupon is set downe for infallible experiments that there was neuer loue but enuie betweene Cain and Abell Isacke and Ismael Loth and Abraham Iacob and Esau Ioseph and his brethren the Kinges of Iuda and Israel and the Apostles the Turkes and the Persians the Romaines and the auncient Spartians the French men and English men and so consequently betwéene neighbour countreyes betweene whome there can be no perfect amitie not for that the one is vnable to repaire the wrongs done vnto the other but for that the one without enuy cannot endure to beholde the glory of the other For which cause Timon of Athens was called dogged because he grinned at the felicitie of man yea if we well considered their effectes the actions of the enuious may well bee tearmed deuilishe in that they repine at the glory of God and bend all their forces to suppres vertue and her followers which in these following discourses shall be more largely shewen CHAP. 2. The originall of Paricide and other inhumane murders by Enuie MURDER the monster of inhumanitie was hatched by this accursed Enuie through whose motions the reprobate Caine slew his iust brother Abell only because that Abels oblations were better regarded of God then his owne Enuie caused Romulus to committe the like outrage vpon nature in slaying his brother Remus because hee participated with him in rule and soueraignetie which inhumane fact Machiuel doth thus excuse It was needefull saith he that it shoulde be so for that other wise the Romaine Empire might haue ended in the beginning being at one instant gouerned by two kinges of seuerall disposition and direction But allowe the reason to be good the good which fell vnto the Common wealth cannot wash away the stayne of Romulus bloudie offence otherwise then the freedom that the Romains gayned ouer their tyrannous Kinges cleared proude Tarquinius of the rape committed on chaste Lucretia for if any good as oftētimes doth come of a naughtie cause God is to be praised for his prouidence and the Authour is to be chastened for his euil intent And questionlesse Romulus entente was so foule as exceeded the crueltie of the rauening Wolfe which nourished him and therefore worthie to liue in this reproche Vnkind thy Damme thee suckerlesse did leaue gainst kind a VVolfe thee fostered with her teate VVhose kinde was thee with bloudie iawes to teare thou most vnkinde to sit in Soueraigne seate Vnkindly slewst Remus thy brother deare So outragious was the enuy betwéene Polineces and Eteocles as old Oedipus their father scratched forth both his eies because he could not endure to behold the murthers and other deadly mischiefes inflicted vpon the poore Thebanes in sustaining their vnnaturall quarrels and as some histories make mention when they had sheathed their swordes in each others intralles the enuy of their life appeared after death whose heresies being ioined together the flame of the funeral fire violently sundered thē with the selfesame venemous malice which is naturally impressed betweene these vnpolitike creatures the Eagle the Dragon the Cocke the Lyon the wild Bore and the Eliphant diuers other bruite creatures who so disagrée in nature as being dead by no meanes their ●…louds wil mingle together an exāple of waight to teach men to beware of their enuious enemies in whose heartes disdaine malice are so mortally enbleamed as neyther giftes praier nor good vsage are of power to worke a true attonemēt This monster enuy imboldned wicked Nero to violate the bendes of nature by the murdering of his mother to see the place of his cursed conception as in his best excuse is alleadged But the true cause was this he hastened her death for that her life by the charge of nature bounde him to a duetifull reuerence for his thoughts raigned ouer all men though his life deserued to be loued of no man With this viperous childe may be coupled the vngratious Commodus sonne of the good Emperour Marcus Aurelius who encountring fouretéene or fiftéene gentlemen Romaines vpon a bridge ouer Tiber demanded of the gentlemen wherevpon they so sadly deuised the gentlemen simply answered that they talked of the good Emperor Marcus Aurelius whose life was beautified with such diuine vertues as his death hath charged Rome with an endles sorrow Whereupon as a murtherer of his fathers renowne hee commaunded his garde to throwe them all into the riuer of Tiber alleadging that they coulde not prayse his father without the blaming of him Wherein though Commodus did euill he spake truth for the commendation of vertue is euermore a reproch to vice and without doubt as the good Emperour Aurelius inlarged the monumentes of his predecessours in example to those that shoulde succeede him so the vngratious Commodus exceeded all his ancestours in euill and left no possibilitie for his heires to be worse of whome is

lawes of other Countreys to hinder as much as pollicy may the iniustice of Iudges our English gouerment hath had a speciall care to kéepe the seate of iustice from the staine of iniustice For to preuent that authoritie may not outcountenance right neyther Lord nor any other person may sit with the Iudges in open Sises vpon paine of a great forfeiture to the Quéene To preuent that affection nor hatred may hinder iustice no man may be iudge of Assise in the place where he was borne or is resident vpon the paine for euerie offence 100. pound Iustice shall be solde deferred or denied to no man and the Iustices of any bench or Court whatsoeuer shall not let to execute the common lawe for any commaundement that shall come vnto them vnder the great Seale or priuie Seale manye other penall charges are sette downe vnto Iudges to binde them to the true administration of iustice and all to little purpose if the Iudge haue not the feare of God before his eyes for positiue lawes as the sage Cleobulus sayeth are like vnto cobwebs through which the hernets breake when the little flies are meashed The lawe of man may stay iniustice but the awe of God is only of force to banish it You Iudges are Gods vpon the earth listen then what the God of heauen sayeth vnto you I say vnto you that you are Gods but you shall dye like men This was the charge of Moyses Iudge righteously betweene euery man and his brother and the stranger that is with him so that you know no f●…ces in iudgement but heare the small as well as the great and be afraid of no man for the iudgement is the Lords The iudgement thus being the Lords Iudges ought to be very circumspect to administer iustice without respect of persons for his vengeance dayly maketh it knowne that nothing is more odious vnto him then iniustice corruption and cruelty they are the principall causes that God repented that he euer made man which moued him to destroy the whole world with water God by his Prophet saith that he will roote out the Iudge it followeth why because he hath solde the righteous for money and the poore for showes Daniel said vnto the false Iudges that wrongfully accused condemned Susanna The messenger of the Lord standeth waiting with the sword to cut you in peeces I coulde recite many fearefull examples to witnes that Gods vengeance swiftly followeth the Iudge that by partiall iudgement either vndoeth the poore or sheddeth giltles blood Among the rest I haue selected these speciall examples following to admonish or rather to assure all iudicial estates that God neuer faileth to reuenge their iniuries that in the bitternes of their sorrow demaund his iustice At such time as the Templers were destroied a Knight of that order a Napolitane borne by the generall iudgement of the people was at the pursuite of Philip le Bel King of Fraunce vniustly put to death by the iudgement of Pope Clement the fifth the poore Templar going to execution behelde Pope Clement and Philip le bel at a window who in the bitternesse of his sorrow sodainly cryed out Most cruel Clement since there is no worldly iudge before whom I may appeale to reuoke thy most cruell and vniust sentence pronounced against me at the malitious pursuit of Philip of France I therefore appeale thée and Philip both as most wicked iudges before the iust iudge Iesus Christ within one yeare to answere my blood which you most impiously shed before whome I oppose my cause which shall determine it without loue gaine or dread which blinded you the knight was executed according to his iudgement and about the time of his demaunde no doubt but by Gods iust iudgement The Pope dyed of an extreame paine of the stomake and in the like manner dyed Philip of France semblable was the ende of Ferdinando the fourth king of Castile who putting to death two knights more of displeasure than iustice when neither teares nor prayers aided their innocencie they cited the saide king to appeare before the tribunall seate of Christ within thirtie dayes the last whereof king Ferdinando attached by death failed not to make his answere Baptista Fulgotius writeth that a Captaine of the Gallies of Genes who making a course vpon the seas tooke a foist of Catelong in which there was a Captaine that neuer offered wrong vnto the Geneuoies notwithstanding through the hatred the Geneuoyes bare vnto the Cattelans hée commaunded that the captaine being taken prisoner shoulde bee hanged who in shedding manie teares required that his euer well vsing of the Geneuoies might repeale the iniust sentence of death pronounced vppon him but in the ende finding no grace hee repaired to deuine iustice and tolde the cruell Captaine that synce he woulde procéede to execution of his bloodie iudgement he appealed him by a certain day before god who chastiseth vniust iudges to render an account of his hard iudgement at which day the Geneuoy Captaine failed not his apparance Many other examples might be produced but this is of most speciall memory of the Archbyshop of Magonce in Almaine whose iniurie was reuenged on the whole Citie of Magonce As the renowned Poet Gontier in the life of the Emperour Frederick the first and the the Bishop Conradus in his historie of diuers accidents reporteth The sum whereof followeth In the Citie of Magonce in the yeare of our Lord 1150. or there about there was an Archbishop named Henry a man bewtified with al maner of vertues This Archbishop like a good shepheard seuerely corrected al publike sins hauing a great care of his flocke was very iealous of the honor of God and of the loue of his neighbour through enuie whereof the wicked bare him a mortall grudge and by false accusations accused him before the Pope of disabilitie and many other grieuous crimes The Pope notwithstanding that he alwayes reputed him a holy and a iust man neuertheles could not denie his accusors audience The Bishop hauing aduertisment of these enuious suggestions to purge his innocency chewsed among his friends a priest whom he had much aduanced and especially loued named Arnold This Arnold being rich of spirit Eloquence and mony so soone as he arryued at Rome pricked forward by the diuel studied how to depriue his Lord of this dignitie and to seate himselfe in the Archbishopricke And to come by the same he subborned two lewd Cardinals with a great sum of money afterwards instéede of fauorable speaking in his Masters behalfe he spake much against him saying that he was more bounde to God and the truth then vnto men and that in verie trueth the Archbyshop was guiltie of the accusation laide against him by meanes whereof the Pope was moued and abused with the report and therefore to procéede iudicially against the innocent Bishop hée sent the two Cardinals confederate with Arnold into Almaine who being ariued
