therein the Diuelles clawes which ma●…ie that are yet lyving haue seene displayed in the town of Liere in Brabant at such tyme as it stood out in rebellion against the King so may you now see how rebellion against the king rebellion against God do concurre toge ther for where as ancient good Christians having bin taught by the example of the moste glorious Christian Emperor Constantinus Magnus to fight vnder the signe of the Crosse these new contrarie Christians abhorring that signe haue more deuotion to the clawes of the deuill a well deuysed and befitting ensigne for such as foght vnder it Tawncy-scarf I wote well there is in Holland free libertie of conscience allowed to all and free exercise of Religion allowed to some but of anie their enclyning to Mahometisme or to Iudaisme or of their marching vnder the deuilles clawes haue I not heard Red-scarf Where free libertie of conscience is allowed why may not euerie one belieue as him list what shal restrayn him If you doubt of the Hollanders making difficultie of turning Turckes do but enquire what they haue don at Tunis where they haue fal●…e to Mahometisme by whole shipfulls at once and afterward to mend the matter haue taught the Mahometanes of those partes the laudable science of Piracie for the more affliction of Christians and as for Iudaisme such as lyke there of and lyke no swynes flesh or can bee content to forbeare the eating thereof may bee circumcised when they wil and then speak as much blasphemie against Christ as the devil wil direct them to do Thus haue I heer shewed you what great wrong the King of Spayn hath donne this people and what great cause they haue to complayn of his breach of their priuileges which is alwaycs in their mouthes albeit they would neuer vouchsase to produce anie one old priuilege for the robbing of Churches I haue also shewed you where the inquisition began and the cause why it was first put in practise in Saxonie afterward in Spayn the name whereof is now asmuch put in practise in Holland in continuall pamphlets preachings as is the name of a Bulbegger to make litle children afrayd Tawney-scarf These bee thinges I haue not to do withal Red-scarf But these bee thinges that belong to the purpose heer to bee alleaged Tawney-scarf The Hollanders were and are our neer neyghbours freindes and therefore Queen Elizabeth saw great reason to vphold them against her potent enemie the King of Spayn Red-scarf Before I come to discours about Queen Elizabeths reason for taking the Hollanders partes giue mee leaue I pray you to speak a litle of the blynd ignorance of our vulgar multitude heer in England to the end you may consider of the reasōs why they hate the Spagniard loue the Hollander to see how well wisely this loue hatred is founded That England and Spayn haue anciently remayned in great amitie together Histories Chronicles wil witnes and the diuers alliances and mariages often made between those two countries can also giue testimonie thereof True then it is that the great breach and hostillitie between England and Spayn began but in these our dayes let vs now see consider why how it began to wit whether by Spayn or by England King Phillip the second of Spayn as all the world knoweth did vpon the death of Queen Marie his wyf giue place and quiet entrance vnto Queen Elizabeth for further proof of his desyre of continuance of peace and amitie with her hee freely gaue vnto her all Queen Maries Iewelles they iustly belonging vnto himself hee also kept his Ambassador lidger in England as the sayd Queen kept hers also in Spayn profeising out wardly vnto him all loue and amitie and yet this not-withstanding shee permitted secretly and vnderhand the transporte of Artillerie and Munition of warre to the Moores of Granado to enable them to rebel iust about the verie same tyme that the Netherland rebellion was determined to bee begun that thereby thee King of Spayn might haue his handes full by beeing thrust in-to two warres at once both which shee vnderhand furthered but more the warre of the Netherlandes then that of Granado because of the redier comoditie Soon vpon the contryving of this plot when the King of Spayn to appease the Netherland broyles in the beginning had sent the Duke of Alua with forces into those partes and after his arryuall there sent him a supply of 600000 crownes some affirme it to haue bin 800000. shee ceazed vpon this monie in the west parte of England and having gotten it into her handes did therewith assist his Netherland Rebelles whereby his monie ordayned to haue serued himself against his rebelles came to serue his rebelles against him and bred besydes this a farre greater inconvenience for it was the cause why the Duke of Alua demaunded the tenth pennie of the countrie peoples goodes whereby they became the more alienated and apt to rebellion Some yeares after this Captayn Drake was employed from England to the west-Indies where hee robbed the King of Spayn of about a million and a half of his treasure These and sundrie other wronges and detriments were donne by the sayd Queen vnto the King of Spayn at such tyme as either had their Ambassadors the Ministers of peace in each others countrie they professing to each other loue and amitie The King of Spayn dooing against the Queen of England no acte whatsoeuer to the contrarie whereas she contrariwise continued to do against him vnderhand as manie wronges as she could besydes those great notorious wronges heere mentioned But when these grew so frequent that the smart vnto the King of Spayn became intollerable and so manifested vnto the world that all other Princes and people took notice thereof how was it possible that it could stand with the honor of a King and of such a potent King as is a King of Spayn stil to continew to put vp wronges as fast as shee continued to do them hee was therefore at the last moued to the preparation of his great Armada naual of the yeare of our Lord 1588. the memorie whereof by the incessant clamours of Puritanical enemyes of peace hath possessed more place in the heades of the inconsiderate vulgar multitude then the manie great wronges that enforced it But thankes bee vnto God our peacefull King Iames coming to the crown and wel knowing how matters had passed did to the great happynes of the Realme salue vp this sore from further festering wherevnto hee found Spayn most redie and willing and wel content to let pas and forget all English iniuries for to giue the Spagniaerds their due certayn it is they are men that are not of vnreconciliable revengefull natures nor such long entertayners of desyre of reuenge as some other nations are sayd to bee And this appeereth manifestly in this nation more thē in others for notwith standing all fore going hostillitie between Englishmen
