the Armit and the Anker You doe intende belyke to place in your most holy Ranker God send you all as well to speede and make your way as streight As such as you had in the dayes of king Henry the eight O that he were aliue to sée how you his Daughter vse But he that hath his soule to kéepe shall sende you shortly newes I doe not doubt fit for your factes the ende of Rebels race With shamefull deathes to haue the ende full fit in such a case ¶ Good peoples helpe you séeme to craue to ayde you in your sturre Good people will their Princes wrath be fearefull to incurre Though you ne recke like bedlem men your life and lande to léese Yet shall you finde the contrary and that in all degrees If God by you will punishe vs in déede we must obey And we the better for his stroke though you be cast away For longer then he thinketh good you shall not sure preuaile And then will he in wrathfull moode strike downe both heade and taile This is the way to know the foes of God and eke our Prince Which craftily haue kept themselues and secretly did wince Now may the Quéene soone finde them out who faythfull be in deede And cursed Papistes by this meanes full soone she may out wéede The hollow hartes will now appéere and subiects true in harts Will now like men both speake and doe and liuely play their parts ¶ And to kéepe backe that forreyne powre should not this lande destroy Ye will your selues it wast before that they shall it annoy But how know ye that forreine power would entermeddle héere Belike you haue them willde thereto you loue your lande so déere And least that they our strength might finde when they approch to lande You will if you may worke the same it weaken to their hande The loose of you if you be slaine as fit is for your sinne Shall leaue the fewer in this lande to let the foe come in A case it is to fonde to thinke that straungers should refourme The things amisse within this lande and make it to retourne What is it not a Monarchie what Prince hath here to doe Or who so strong that may vs gréeue if we be true thereto A Prouerbe olde no lande there is that can this lande subdue If we agrée within our selues and to our Realme be true Was euer lande so gouerned sith conquest heretofore As this hath bene in all respectes this .xij. yeares and more What peace what rest what quietnesse what welth what helth hath reignde What iustice hath bene ministred to all that haue complainde Was euer Prince so mercifull as this most noble Quéene How she hath nurst the Noble blouds is euidently séene Whose head from shoulders hath she cut though some did it deserue Whom hath she burnt or in the iayle caused that they should starue If lenitie may make men rise or méekenesse gender yre If colde may cause the Coles to burne or water kindell fyre If Adamant may thrust away the Iron or the Stéele Or shining Sunne the naked man may cause the colde to féele Then may our Quéene Elizabeth be thought to be the cause Why these Rebels doe go about the breaking of hir lawes But sure it is hir humblenesse that she hath euer vsde The Caytifes now most cankerdly with treason haue abusde ¶ God saue the Quéene ye crie alowde with weapon stiffe in hande To trouble hir whose prudent heade hath saued all the lande Such glosing wordes and painted style are fit for foolish heades Or else for babes whose infancie doe lyke as leaders leades ¶ But now to you the simple sort leaue off from taking part And spéede apace vnto your home and to your Prince conuart Afore that God his wrath doe rise by Princes furie wrought To beate ye downe in fielde by force and bring ye all to nought Doe you suppose a Princes powre your Captaines may resist There is of you can tell you no and if so be they list In hir most noble fathers dayes when he came with his powre Haue ye forgot when ye were vp how eche man tooke his bowre How often in one yeare ye rose the Chronicles doth tell And yet no boote ye had no gaine although ye did rebell You neuer hard nor euer read that Rebelles dyd preuayle And doe you thinke by dent of sworde to make your Prince to quaile Nay make your count though you do thinke that many be as you Of Popishe mynd yet shall you finde their hearts to be full true And multitudes that doe beléeue this lore to be full right Are readie prest to take hir part if you will trye hir might But better no returne in time if you hir grace doe looue And seeke not iustice as your right but doe hir mercie prooue You cannot poynt if fielde be fought the victorie at wyll What gaine shall come vnto your part when eche doth other kill O simple men why should ye thus despise the quiet state Of this the Realme so gouerned as you were in of late The Realmes about so troubeled and you in quiet rest Who shall the breakers of the same not vtterly detest And what if that ye should increase as God forbid the same And Princes powre with Rebels might should runne abrode by fame Would not the foes that now be still then buskell to come in ▪ When feebled is the lande of might by broyles that ye begin Their holinesse and yours is like they séeke but for to raine And for your making of their way you shall of them be slaine Therefore take counsell yet in time afore yée go to farre Your Quéene your Realme and happie stat● aboue all things prefarre For make account ▪ ye shall not bring the state to you to yeelde You shall first fynd the englishe bloud to lie in many a féelde The sonne the father yee shall bring with dent of sword to stryke The brother shall the brother méete and doe also the lyke In Princes cause no kith nor kinne affinitie nor blood Shall staye the subiect to set out to spende both life and good With conscience good and fayth full sure though he be slaine in féelde Yet shall he as true subiect dye and so his soule vp yeelde Whereas if you in fielde be slayne bicause ye did rebell By fact your slaughter hath the waye to Deuills that are in hell Who for bicause ▪ they did arise against the Lord of might 〈◊〉 you doe now against his powre they lost eternall light The fatherlesse that ye shall make and Widdowes in their wo Shall pray your fee in torments great to be for doing so Yea of your owne that you shall leaue shall cursse you for your déedes When they shall féele the plague to stretch to them for your yll meedes Bethinke your selues and take aduice and spéedily repent Accept the pardon of the Prince when it to you is sent So may you saue your bodies yet your soules and eake your good And stay the Deuill that hopes by you to spill much Christian blood God saue our Quéene and kéepe in peace this Iland euermore So shall we render vnto him eternall thanks therefore FINIS ꝙ W.
