much the awnswerer in effecte replieth to this poynte of the Cardinall An other poynte also he handleth touching father Persons vvhome he saith my L. Treasurer in this proclamation by a certayne calumniation more rediculous then enuious affirmeth to arrogate to himself the name of the King Catholiques confessour vvhich not being so nor likely nor almost possible to be so for that this place and charge requireth a man of the same nation skilfull and practised both in the language and affayres of the country and the saide father not lying or residing in the court but commonly in the Inglish hovvses and colledges either of Vallidolid Ciuil or S. Lucar and no argument or probability offering it self in the vvorld vvhy old Cecil should fall into this so doting an imagination excepte it vvere to scoffe by the vvay at the King of Spaines being called Catholique and hauing of a confessour this defendant taketh occasion hereby to examine these tvvo vvoordes First vvhat this vvord Catholique meaneth hovv it first began euen with the vvord Christian and vvas inuented by the Aposteles themselues and put in to their creed to explicate the other vvord and to restrayne the signification of a Christian or professour of Christe his name in generall vnto a trevv faithfull and obedient Christian for vvhich he alleageth the testimony of an auncient holy Bisshopp named Pacianus that saide Christian is my name but Catholique is my surname by the first I am named but by the second I am knowen proued and distinguisted from all others for which cause also the Aposteles vsed this word Catholique to distinguish the trevv Church of Christe from al other false conuenticles of heretiques and feigned Christians of all vvhich this man inferreth by diuers testimonyes of S. Augustine and other fathers that no name is more glorious in the vvorld then to be called a Catholique and that the Kings of Spaine haue iustly to reioyce and take honour of this tytle geuen them by the sea Apostolique notvvitstanding Maister Cecils scoffe and that it is much more ridiculous apis he in the Ministers of Ingland to geue the tytle of defender of the Catholique faith so solemnely in euery of theire sermons to the Queene of Ingland seing it is a tytle that vvas assigned to her father by Pope Leo the tenth for vvriting only against Luther in defence of papistrie vvhich her Maiestie impugneth and persecuteth to death and therefore to hold the tytle and to deny the faith no man can imagin saith this awnswerer how it can stand together but onely by M. Cecils combinanation that can pach together any thing for his purpose in what kind soeuer For the second vvhy euery Prince should haue a confessour according to the old custome of all Princes this man alleageth many reasons and authorities and namely out of S. Augustine vvho saith that no Christian will refuse to confesse his synnes to a priest that is Gods vicar but onely such as either are cōfounded by shame or beaddy with pryde to their owne damnation vpon this he inferreth what a miserable daungerous state Maister Cecil hath broughte not onely himself but also her Maiestie vnto that whereas other Princes discharge their consciences by confession and receauing absolutiō of the Church appointed by Christe our sauiour euery yeare many tymes her Maiestie hath passed ouer now fower and thirtie yeares without that benefit contrarie to the example of all the Kinges and Queenes of Ingland her noble progenitours that euer were from the firste conuersion of the same vnto her tyme whereof none euer wanted this honour and benefit of a confessour but her self excepte it were perhaps King Edward her brother who being a child and in the handes of others can make no president to the contrary but for King Henry her father he obserued the same also most strictely euen vnto his dying day and made it death vnto him that should contradict the same and so did all his auncestours before him obserue the like moste holy beneficial and Catholique vse in so much that in deed her Maiestie is the very firste of all Inglish Princes that euer hath auentured to caste her soule into that aeternall daunger as to heape fower and thirtie yeares sinnes together without confession or absolution of theChurch and to leaue them to the seuere iudgemēte of almighty God vpon contempte of that spiritual tribunal which he hath assigned in his Church for the remission of the same and all this vpon M Cecils persuasion saith this awnswerer who being oppressed with the multitude of his owne synnes wil not be able to help her Maiestie in that day and for that Cardinall Allen father Persons others of their coate and charitie do pitty her Maiestie in this great danger therefore M. Cecil auoucheth them for traitours VVherefore this Section is concluded vvith a sharpe reprehensiō of my L. Treasurers proceedings woordes and dealings against these two men in special who yet are auouched neuer to haue done him hurt nor to any other protestant that hath passed in Catholique countryes where their credites might haue vvrought them preiudice yf they vvould And in particuler he alleageth how that both these men being in Rome together the yeare 1586. they had vnderstanding of my L. Treasurers grandchild heyre of his howse being secretly there and vvere so farr of from doing him hurte which they mighte haue done as they vsed all curtesie frendship towardes him both in wordes and deedes and procured from the Pope his safe returne which the grandfather that well knoweth thereof and was priuy to the iourney in all law of nobility and ciuilitie were bounde to requite saith this awnswerer yf any seede of the one or the other vertue were in his breste The fifte and last Section THE fifte and laste Section comprehendeth the whole conclusion of the premisses vvith order punishement for the offendors and for that 〈◊〉 this defender affirmeth the said premisses haue bin proued to be moste false forged and malitiously aggrauated by the accuser it is no maruaile though the conclusion be correspondent to the same that is to say moste vniuste and iniurious seing it is inferred and inforced vpon these wordes in the proclamation it self to vvit wherefore considering that these intentions of the King of Spaine are to vs made very manifest vvhich intentions notvvitstāding this awnswerer taketh to be so manifesto by this day vnto all the whole vvorld that there vvere neuer any such as he thinketh that Maister Cecil himself for very shame can not deny it and consequently muste needes confesse in his harte that all this blouddy conclusion of murderinge Catholiques was ouer hastely awarded either vpon vaine feare or vnchristian malice and yet doth the ●…nswerer examine the particuler remedies which 〈◊〉 prescribed in the proclamation against these supposed daungers of the realme and deuised intentions of the King of Spaine And the firste remedie is that the Godly Ministers of

Treasurer the Earle of Leicester Sir Francis VValsingham and Sir Christophor Hatton of whome he saith he will tell their beginninges their entrance with the Queene their manner of proceeding their actions and their endinges obseruing the order rather of their deathes and falling then of their rising to honours for that he saieth the remembrance of this day is more ioyfull to good men then that of the other and so for that my L. Treasurer is the onely mā of all the five that now liueth he reserueth his story for the laste place of all Of Sir Nicolas Bacon he sheweth how he rose and how my L. Treasurer and he the one helping the other by the assistance of Sir Antony Cooke theire father in law and Sir Ihon Cheeke King Edwardes schoole-maister came both first in fauor That Sir Nicolas Bacons father beinge seruant to the Abbote of Bery and keeper of his sheepe and cattell put his sonne to Greyes Inne where first he was vnder-butler aud afterward grew vp higher vntill by the augmentation court and atturneship of the VVardes he came to be lord keeper wherein this man saith he shewed himself so corrupt and partiall for bribery as neuer man before or since in that place for which he allegeth a protestation also of Plowdē the famous lawier made at the Chauncery barr Bacon beinge present that he woulde neuer returne thither so long as so cortupte a iudge should sitt in that place which he performed here vnto he addeth diuers other perticularities touchinge the life and death of Sir Nicolas Bacon Of my L. of Leicester and the varietie of fortune which he saw and proued in his life how he was borne and brought vp in all aboundāce and felicitie and after saw himself againe in extreame calamity his father and bretheren being put to death and himfelf condemned to the same lotte but that fortune turning againe lifted him vp higher then euer before but all to the worse for that he had neuer bin so wicked yf he had not byn so potent How he was the sonne of a Duke brother of a Kinge nephew of an esquier and great grandchild of a Carpenter as the common fame runneth which yf it be trew the Carpenter by all likelyhoode was the happiest man of all the generation for that perhaps he was an honeste man and died in his bedd whereas all the other perished by violent deathes for theire wickednes c.

How he for conseruing the saide league and frendship refused to gyue aide to the aunciēte nobilitie of Ingland the yeare 1567. when they ment by force to haue reformed the estate and to haue hanged Cecil and Bacon againe how he denyed the same the nexte yeare after to the Earles of Northumberland VVestmerland and to the L. Dacres when they rose for the restoring of Religion in the North pressed ther vnto by M. Cecils vrginge How the K. afterwaerds to wit the yeare 1575. For contenting her Maiestie and at the persuasion of some of his owne officers but namely of the Commendader Maior that for the present gouerned Flanders was content to yeld to the banishement of all Inglishe Catholiques out of his estates of Flanders for the space of two years thoughe he paide them alwayes their pensions to liue on as before And for the same consideracion of frendship with the Queene and for his keeping his league with her he denyed diuers yeares helpes to the Irishe that demaunded the same as namely the yeare 1578. to Sir Iames Fizmoris and to Sir Thomas Stukeley and to the later of them when afterward he came with some fiue or six hundred men that he had broughte from Italie the King would not graunte so much as a porte in Spaine to enter into whereby he was forced to passe to Lisbone where finding the King of Portugall ready to go with his army to Barbary he could not refuse to go with him where he was slaine but to Sir Iames Fizmoris returning againe the nexte yeare to aske succours for the Irishe oppressed for their Religion in Ireland the Kinge denyed the same againe vntill at laste at the earnest sute of the Pope for that D. Sanders vpon his extreame zeale had aduentured to go thither before to comforte the Catholiques with lesse then fiftie men his Maiestie was contente to wynke at and say nothing whiles Sega the Bishop of Placētia the Popes Nuncio vnder certaine of his Italian Captaynes did send thither some foure or fiue hundred souldiers taken vp vpon the Sea coste of Italie which this awnswerer saith were those which my L. Gray so cowardly and traiterously murdered in Irland after they had yeilded themselues by cōposition the yeare 1580. And so from this time forward vntill the yeare 1585. he sheweth that the King of Spayne obserued most exactely his league with her Maiestie and the Inglishe nation at what tyme being inforced by the Queenes open taking of Flushing Briel Ostēde other townes in Flanders he made the arreste of the Inglishe shippes in Spaine but on the other side he declareth how the Inglish euen from the firste entrance ofher Maiestie to the crowne haue exercised all kinde ofhatefull hostile actions against the King by stirring vp and fauoring firste of all his rebelles in Flanders by intercepting his money firste in the Duke of Alua his time and alwayes after when they coulde lay handes on it by treating also first the comming of the Duke Matthias into Flanders and after ofMounsieur the Duke of Alenson and assisting him publiquely against the King in time of peace by mayntayninge and bolstering vp ofDon Antonio that calleth himself King ofPortugall by sending Hawkins Frobishire Drake Candishe other Pirates to the Indians and some ofthem euen in to Spaine it self for which he alleageth out ofStowes chronicles speciall commission geuen by her Maiestie to spoile the King of Spaines subiects by sea long before any breach ofleague was talked of by the Kinges parte and so he concludeth that this firste accusation of the proclamation is moste iniuste and that the whole world will laugh thereat that the writer thereof which he taketh to be my L. Treasurer was very shamelesse in setting it downe The 2. parte of this section THE secōde poynte of this Section cōcerneth that which the proclamation affirmeth of the King of Spaines ambitious doings also towardes other Princes besydes her Maiestie and that all Christendome is troubled at this day by his onely warres For discussing whereof this awnswerer laieth downe al the proceedings both ofher Maiestie and the King of Spaine with their neighboures from the beginnings of both their raignes And firste for the King ofSpaine he sheweth his dealings in particuler with the Turke Moores and other infidels then also with the Italians Portugalls French Inglishe Irishe Scotishe and Flemishe and sheweth al to haue bin euer most honorable quiet iuste without iniury offered to any as by their owne testimonies and witnesse also of all writers appeareth and for the warre and other affaires that haue passed in Portugall he proueth in particuler out of Hieronimo Franchi a Genoes that vvas present and wrote the storie and in other points sheweth himself no great frind to Spaniardes yet doeth he so iustifie all the Kings actions in this affaire euen by testimony of the Portugalles themselues as they seemed rather ouer scrupulous then onely iustifiable He proueth also outof Genebrard a French writter the King of Spaines noble proceedings with France in all the tymes of the minorities of al Kinge Henry the secōd his children to witt of Francis Charles and Henry the thirde and how he neuer soughte not onely to profit himself or to impaire the kingdome of France duringe those troubles as the Queene of Ingland did by taking new hauen but also ofhis owne charges sent aydes of men horse victualls and money often tymes to the succors of these younge Princes against their rebells notwithstanding the olde enimities emulatiō betweene these two crownes of France Spaine the cruell warres that had passed betwene them many years before Likwise he sheweth the kings wonderfull clemente proceeding with his owne subiects that haue rebelled in the low countreys as appeareth by his many pardons peaces and tolerations made with them his liberall and noble dealing with Inglishe Irishe and Scottishe especially such as haue bin troubled afflicted for their consciences at home whom he hath sustayned liberally abrode without requyring any seruice at their hands After this he taketh in hand to compare with this the Inglishe proceedings towardes all their neighbours rounde about them to whome he sheweth that they haue bin the proper and continuall causes of troubles warres sedition bloodshedd and vtter perdition as namely in Frāce of fower ciuill warres besides all other reuoltes and conspiracies against the true Kinges turmoyles in Religion and other garbroyles and the like to haue bin caused by them in Flanders by stirring vp and ayding firste the Guses and other rebelles of the countrie and then by settinge on foote Orenge and bringing in other princes and forraine povvers and lastly by open iniustice of inuadinge and holding the same to themselues as at this day they do In Scotland also he declareth very particulerly out of the Inglishe cronicles themselues what vvicked and sinfull stratagemes at the beginninge were vsed to putt that people at discorde the one against

auouched that this forme of examination vexing of men for the Catholique faith in Inglād is in no wise contrarie but agreable to the moste auncient lawes and good vsages of our Realme which this man refuteth beginning from the firste Christian King of the Britans named Lucius that tooke his faith frō Rome vnto the laste called Cadwalladar that made himself a monke and died in Rome after that from Ethelbert the firste Inglishe Kinge Christined by S. Augustine a monke sent from Rome vntill the laste Kinge Edward the cōfessor held for a sainte in the same Religion after him from VVilliam Conquerour first King of the Normans vnto King Henrie the eighte father of her Maiestie all which Kinges and Queenes this awnswerer sheweth to haue bin contrarie in Religion to this of M. Cecils consequently to haue made all their lawes and ordinances in fauour of Catholique Religion against that which is now held in Ingland and so their formes of search and Inquisitiō must needes be against this not against that and therefore that it is extreame impudency in M. Cecil to auouch so openly in proclamation that this tyrannicall forme of his inuention against the Catholiques is in no vvise contrary but agreable to the most auncient lawes of Inglande Secondly for M. Cecils folly and lack both of wit consideratiō in pressing a free people with such irking bloudy lawes which driue to desperatiō he alleageth the authoritie of all graue men that euer wrote of gouernemente of commō wealthes who affirme that such proceeding is lacke of wisedome for that violent courses endure not long and feare is no good conseruer of perpetuity and ouermuch rubbing bringeth out bloud and patience abused turneth into furie He noteth also a want of ludgement in Maister Cecil the scribe to put downe in her Maiesties name after recital of so great rigour that she is resolutely determined to suffer no fauour to be vsed for any respect of any persons qualities or degrees which may chance to stirr vp some Matathias and his children and frends one day to do as he hid in his zeale for Gods cause being inforced therevnto by the indiscreet oppression of Antiochus the tyrant to his owne destruction and seing that it is euident that these hard and rigorous woordes could not proceed of her Maiesties owne inclination but were thruste in by Cecil in despite and disgrace of nohility principall peeres of whome he was afeard leaste the Queene mighte haue some respecte in these cases of Religion this awnswerer exhorteth him to looke vnto it and to thincke betymes vpon the end of pierse os Gauerston the Spencers others that haue abused their Princes fauours in Inglād heretofore to the debasing of true nobilitie and pilling of the people he willeth him also to thincke of the endes of wicked leroboā Achab with the death of seuentie children of his in owne day notwithstanding they were as well established and allied for matters of the world as M. Cecils of spring can be Finally he beseecheth also her Maiestie to looke about her betyme not to suffer her self to be caried away or to be made a pray to one mans ambition only who will not be able to remedy the calamities that now he soweth but will leaue them all on his Princes backe when he can wade no further as the pittifull examples of King Ihon King Edward the second Richard the second Henry the sixt and others driuen into miseries by such euill Councellours do wel declare nor is it safe for any Prince to leane to much to one mans councell especially one that seeketh so euidently his owne intereste as in M. Cecil doth moderate courses do indure but this is desperate neither want there meanes to reduce things yet to some cōposition or moderation at least yf her Maiestie would folow her owne Princely disposition and leaue the bloudy humour of this old ambitions serpent Her Maiesties age requireth more loue and peace of her subiects now and to attend rather to securitie then to enter into new odious conflicts the fly hath her splene saith the Philosopher and much more men of courage and free education and so much bloud spent by violence as lately hath bin in Ingland can not but threaten much bloud againe in the end All this much more to purpose saith this awnswerer and in the end concludeth all with certayne effectuall cōsolatiōs vnto Catholiques out of Eusebius Gregorie Nazianzene and Victor Vticensis who recompte the exceeding comforts which God gaue vnto Catholiques that had suffred for him after their persecutours were destroyed confounded He writeth also certayne annotations vpon the instructions annexed to the proclamation for the commissioners how to execute their forme of inquisitions and all he maketh very odious and cruell which I can not set downe here for lacke of tyme but I hope to send yow the booke it self very shortly 1591.
