A DEFENCE and true declaration of the thinges lately done in the lowe countrey whereby may easily be seen to whom all the beginning and cause of the late troubles and calamities is to be imputed And therewith also the sclaunders wherewith the aduersaries do burden the Churches of the lowe countrey are plainly confuted Psal. XLIII Geue sentence with me O God and defend my cause against the vngodly people O deliuer me from the deceitfull and wicked man For thou art the God of my strength AT LONDON Printed by Iohn Daye dwelling ouer Aldersgate ¶ Cum gratia Priuilegio Regio Maiestatie ❧ To the right honorable and my singular good Lord and patrone the Lord Cheyne MY singular good Lorde The doynges of Papistes standyng wholly as theyr religion doth vpon falshed and crueltie and taking to themselues by vse a licence of vntrue speaking workyng playnly sheweth what fayth is to be geuen to such as thinke them selues bounde to keepe no fayth Such hath euer bene theyr maner not onely in dissimulation practisyng before things be brought to passe but al so in shameles lyeng and misreporting them after they be ended For what els is to be loked for of that vnfaithful faith that is grounded wholly vpon falshead and blasphemie is pursued wholly with malice and treason is auaunced wholly by crueltie and tyranny and hauyng no respect of prosperitie beyond this life hath by confidence in man destroyed the feare of God What maruell is it then if such kynde of men Monkes Friers and other Parasites hauing bene writers of hystories heretofore haue filled the world with fayned miracles and with intolerable absurdities to flatter Popes and deceiue the people haue sclandered Emperours Kynges and Princes and as ordinarely layd vp in their Libraries false treatises and Chronicles to beguile posteritie as in their cofers forged euidences which they dayly made to robbe true owners of their inheritaunce In these falsities they so farre proceded that their impudencie fallyng with want of shame by vse of lyeng into so great imprudence as that manifest contradictions and inconueniences conuinced them they then resorted to iustifie their vntruthes seducyng the world with pretense of a profitable deceiuyng men with godly errour Surely whoe 's conscience can serue them to do murders to tumble vp kyngdomes and rayse all kynd of horrible and tragical examples will not much sticke to tell lyes in excusyng or reportyng the doinges of them selues and their aduersaries For Ex ijsdem sunt nutriuntur mixta a sect patched vp of lyes must be fed and mainteyned with the same Much lyke it is to the doyng of kyng Richard Catesbie to bleare the worldes eyes with the proclamation of treason supposed to haue bene intended by the Lord Hastings and Shores wife and shewyng out his owne withered arme after the example of Antoninus Caracalla concerning his brother Geta and such like So dyd that honest man Boner immediatly vppon the death of the excellent Martyr the Archebyshop of Caunterbury openly cause to be published in Print a report of the Archbyshops death and his woordes before hys death directly contrarie to that which was spoken and all in fauor of Papistrie Thence came it that all foreine hystories are at this day so stuffed with sclanders agaynst our estates people and Princes specially sins that kyng Henrie the viij resumed his lawfull iurisdiction from vsurpyng Popes Our kynges be villanously termed tyrauntes vertuous Queenes and Ladyes defamed Nobilitie disgraced Parlamentes despised the people reprochfully taunted theeues whoremongers sodomites murderers and traytors sainted victories pinched factes and successes falsly vttered and that so playnly euen while lyuyng witnesses present and parties to the maters them selues are hable truely to disproue them And all this they do vpon trust that though it be some shame a while yet theyr bookes shall ouerlyue mens persons and so at length deceiue posteritie and so thinke they it reason now that other papistes hereafter shold enioye the fruite of their falshed at this tyme as they haue the frute of other Papistes false hed heretofore So doth fabulous Iouius So doth pratyng Paradine so doth the whole heape of Popish Pamphleters without reuerence of Princes estates or of other mens eares of their owne outworne honesties This hath made common lyers to shew aduises of newes from beyond seas so freshly arriued that the very inke blotted whē the letters were shewed in Paules men surely worthy of their card cousin to hang on their backes to warne them and F. cudgell better to aduise them This doyng of theirs hath of late yeares continually enforced noble Princes and good men to publish Apologies and set foorth bookes to yeld true accompt of theyr factes agaynste this poysonous kynde of Parasites and rumor spreaders This my Lord hath caused the noble men and other of base Germanie to publish in Supplication by them exhibited to the Emperour the Electors and other Princes assembled at Spires the report of theyr doinges and sufferynges with request of good interpretation and charitable ayde Bicause the same conteineth a great deale of mater of good hystoricall knowlege and bicause the dayly rumors of Papistes do amplifie euils to kyndle vncharitablenesse agaynst poore men I haue thought good to turne the same into English and to set it out to the world to behold without preiudicing the credit of any but leauyng euery man to beleue so far with them or agaynst them as euident truth apparant proues shall leade them Onely this by the way remembred that the publike ministers embassadors messēgers agentes for those against whom these do complayne haue not sticked agaynst common fayth to be certifiers and auouchers of vntruthes and parteners of treasons agaynste our noble Queene as in publike arrainementes and other open places and doynges beside secret knowledges hath lately appeared Hauyng performed this worke of translation for credit of truth and for raysing of good affections in iust and indifferent persons and for a good monument of knowlege to such as lacke helpe of the Latin tong wherin in the Dutche tong it hath ben before printed I thought it my dutie to offer the same to your good Lordshyp Wherunto many reasonable respectes hath moued me First your zeale to true Religion your vertuous gouernaunce of your household therin your noble and sincere administration of iustice without vsyng the Queene seruice to priuate malice and affections and your seuere lookyng to daungerous cariers of vntrue rumors and seditious speeches in your countrey all which vertues become a personage fitte to receiue a worke intended for declaration of truth and confutation of sclanders Beside that I beyng susteined in studie by your Lordshyps liberalitie do owe you that dutie that vnder your name should passe to the worldes commoditie such frutes of learnyng as I haue bene hable to yeld humbly praying your Lordshyp to accept the same and most humbly besechyng God long to blesse your Lordshyp and my good

title to the Kyng with part of the taskes and subsides they challenge vnto them selues soueraigne rule and authoritie and in causes capitall they appoint vnto the giltie either lyfe or death at theyr owne arbitrement whom they determine to destroy no man is able to saue no not the kyng hym selfe though he most earnestly desire it whom they take vpon them to defend neither the seueritie of the lawes nor Iudgement sincerely geuen nor the kynges commaundement is hable once to hurt hys litle finger therfore it is no maruayle if all estates yea and the kynges them selues be very much afrayde of them Afterwardes they folowed the same way in Naples Cicell Myllen and in the great countrey of Indya they openly but in vayne put the same practise for to make subiect to them selues all Germany for they were withstode and preuēted by your wisedome most mighty princes and by the wisdome power and vertue of your auncetors but yet they cease not at thys time by theyr craftye wiles deceites to peforme that which they haue so long desired For that I may pretermit the Gronyngans the wise Phrisians the Transisellians Geldrians Remanicensians and many other of the empyre the which alwayes haue obayed to the iurisdiction of the Romane Emperor haue vsed hys lawes and statutes and haue appealed to the court of the Emperor and submitted themselues into the gouernment of the Duke of Brabant onely vpon thys condition that they might retayne theyr lawes customes and statutes fastly without any appearing of the same all which the Duke of Alba hath depriued of all theyr liberties and priuileges and as though they had bene ouercomme by battell appoynted them new lawes created new magistrates contrary to theyr aūcient maner and constitution hath exacted vnaccustomed tributes hath built castelles in theyr cities hath banished the chiefe of theyr citiezens seased vp theyr goodes that I may I say pretermit all these thinges and infinite more of like sort in the which although he hath no right or title yet he pretendeth to haue some kinde of interest For what ende I pray you doth he séke openly to enlarge the bondes of hys gouernment without any iust or shadowed title therunto euen into the very middest of the empyre What causeth him to séeke or rather by force to take vppon hym the gouernment of the countrey of Cleueland threatningly to commaund them to banish out of theyr countrey all the Belgians What causeth hym by prescript to commaund Collyn and the other frée cities of the Empier what they should do vnto the low Germaynes It is impossible that it should not be reuealed vnto you most worthy princes what crueltie he hath committed what fieldes he hath destroyed what droues of beasts he hath caried away what matrones and virgins he hath defloured how many inhabitauntes he hath murdred in the East contrey of Phrisia and the contrey of Emdon What should we thinke moreouer séeing he doubteth not by hys edicte to call home all the studentes of low Germany which were gone abroad to forren vniuersities whatsoeuer onely Rome excepted and all the young men which were departed to other places for the learning of some arte or manuell occupation threatning perpetuall banishment and losse of all theyr goodes if they do not returne insomuch that he hath spoyled the poore yong men trauelling abroad for the knowledge of tongues and getting of wisedome of the fruite of all theyr studies and labourers making them vnfit hereafter to take office vppon them in the common wealth and hath vtterly beggered and vndone many which trauayled abroad to gette theyr lyuing by theyr arte and occupation In the whych he sheweth hymselfe vtterly to denounce all humanitie for if all humanitie be maintayned by the mutuall societie and company of men must he not néedes be the enemy therof which by violence seketh to take away that one gift wherby man only sheweth himself to differ from the brute beastes For the knowledge of tonuges and vse of reason althought it be peculiarly geuen vnto man yet the fruit therof is not fully reaped but in the company and society of mē especially in our affayres which we haue with other nations Therfore séeing he goeth about to bereue vs therof what séeketh he els but to destroy the toung the whole vse of reason the which truely so great is hys inhumanity he would do if he could bring it by any meanes to passe For what other thing doth he séeke by this his Inquisition Why doth he forbid the people the vse of holy Scripture Why doth he refuse onely the knowledge of Gods holy wil and Testament to the deuines that is forsooth to his Inquisitors and byshops Why doth he forbidde the people to pray in a knowne tongue but that he desireth rather to rule brutish beastes then reasonable men For he feareth lest if they should vnderstand any thing they would at the length detest so great vnaccustomed barbarousnes and therfore he will haue no cities or countries gone vnto but those vnto whom he prescribeth lawes and ordinaunces It hath bene very well by the wyse iudgement doyngs of our aūcetors brought to passe that yoūg men studious in good literature and liberal artes should trauel vnto other vniuersities to sée their cities and maners and to learne their toungues and for thys cause by the liberality and costes of kynges Princes frée Vniuersities were founded and great libertyes priuiledges graunted to them that thether the young men of other countryes might more often resort and that by thys meanes the fayth frendship and societie of men among themselues might the better be retayned the which truely is no new custome but hath bene vsed hertofore in all ages For we read that Platoe and the other philosphers dyd wyth long diuers trauellinges learne their wisedomes whereof we all stand now in admiration from straunge peoples and far nations carry the knowledge therof into Grece The Romanes before times vsed to sende theyr children into Gréece and Asia for learnings sake and that I may not onely stay in those olde examples not much before the immanitie of the Turke had ouerrun all Gréece the Germaynes Frenchmen Italians the Spanyardes them selues were wont earnestly to go to Athenes for study sake The which libertie or custome who soeuer taketh away he taketh truly away all humanitie and professeth him selfe the deadly enemy of all other nations For it is wont to be forbydden that any Citizen should inhabite or dwell amongest those agaynst whō our Haroldes haue denounced warre the whiche for this cause is done because we thinke it not lawfull for our Citizens young men to resorte to those people whō we accompt as enemyes seyng therefore right noble Princes that he doth forbyd his Citizens frée yong men to be brought vp amongest you all other nations onely Rome excepted what cā otherwise be gathered but that he misdoubteth your faith and suspecteth your meanyng
