A worthie example of burning two Ships of Corne brought for the releefe of the enemie vnto Lishborne IN the Moneth of August 1586. There was taken by the Spaniards a tall Ship called the Barke rowe now belonging vnto the Towne of Newcastell vpon Tine the Maister of which Ship at that time was one Iohn Harrison borne in Cornwall and foure others with him which because they were found to be men of reputation and of good experience in their Arte were had in more regarde then the rest And whereas the company were all condemned to the Galleyes where some of them yet serue They were committed vnto the custody of a Caualier who had charge to vse them with great curtesie One whole yeare remained they in the keeping of this their first Hoaste with very great entertainment where they were often visited with Friers and other religious persons which very earnestly laboured to drawe them both from God and their allegiance to their Prince which howe earnest so euer they were solicited it pleased God to strengthen them so that their hearts were hardened against their religion and them who scorned to how to any Idols knowing that they bee but stones and the workes of mens hands and therefore vtterly refused to giue the glorie of the Omnipotent God to such trash as they honoured These shauelings when as they sawe no hope to winne those soules as they terme it conferring together touching their obstinacie thought to prooue if some hasher vsage might make them yeelde wherefore the Cardinall of Lishborne Viceroye to the King of Spayne at whose commaund they were being enformed by such as he sent howe they aunswered to such demaundes which were required of them commaunded that the sayde Iohn Harrison and his foure companions should all bee ommitted vnto the Inquisition or Holy house and there to abide such punishment as theyr manner is to laye vpon the Children of GOD which was presently doone as he gaue in charge and they all seuerally imprisoned in such loathsome places as it would haue pittied a man to haue seene theyr estate during the time of their durance there Twise euerye weeke would they sende vnto them villaines disguised in the counterfaite attire of a Deuill which cruelly like him that he represented would scourge them with whips of Wyer so that theyr fleshe was most greeuouslye torne with those tormentors liuing with no other vyandes but onely with boiled Barlye and faire water of which they scantly had theyr bellye 's full Thus by Gods fauour who strengthneth his seruants continued those our Countreymen stedfast in the faith of Christ refusing all the vanities of the worlde to beare the Crosse of their Redeemer Christ Iesus Two yeares spente they in these extremities in which time two of them by Gods visitation dyed whom these Caniballes would not allowe Christian buriall vnto for that they dyed not in their faith Well their great Fleete beeing prepared for England men of skyll for the Coast was greatlye wantnig so that there was great meanes made for all men of what nation so euer that would take charge Amongst which there was sent for this Iohn Harrison and his two consorts Peter Bryan his Mate a verye good Marriner and William Mathewes the Gunner braue men and of stoute Courage Those men being brought vnto the presence of the Cardinall humbling themselues as to the Kinges Viceroye one their knee The Cardinall came to take them vp and blessed them with his hand making on their heads the signe of the Holy Crosse speaking two or three wordes in Lattin which they vnderstood not this William Mathewes seeing how he vsed the other two when as he offered to blesse him thrust away his hands and tolde him that his blessing was rather a cursse to them that beleeued it was of anye force then a blessing Which wordes vnderstoode by an English Frier appointed to be theyr interpreter and reuealed vnto others standing by The sayde Mathewes was greeuously buffeted in the Cardinals presence whereat he seemed to be very discontent Well after some outragious wordes offered to Mathewes for refusing this Holy Fathers blessing The Cardinall began againe to worke such meanes and perswasions as he hest could to drawe them vnto his will protesting that hee was such a fauourer of their causes that hee was greeued to see or heere of their miserye yet quoth hee I haue intreated those Holy Fathers Seniors of the Church of Rome cheefest in commission for his Holinesse to mittigate the extremitie of the lawes for the punishment of Heretikes prouided so that yee will bee reformed and become Catholikes and liue like Christians forsaking your damnable opinions which vnlesse you doo you cannot be saued It may be quoth this Holy
