A07892	A breefe aunswer made vnto two seditious pamphlets, the one printed in French, and the other in English Contayning a defence of Edmund Campion and his complices, their moste horrible and vnnaturall treasons, against her Maiestie and the realme. By A.M.	Munday, Anthony, 1553-1633.	1582 (1582)	STC 18262; ESTC S112998	24,614	78

may be coniectured what all the restis a fardell of follie aptlie figuring bothe him that writ it they who are defended in it and them all that are of that sect and opinion First he findeth him selfe agreeued That Maister Campion should be reported at the tyme of his death tymerous fearefull as also that Sherwin is sayde to shewe more humilitie and discretion and therefore sayeth he dyed a Protestant I will appeale to the right Honorable Woorshipfull that were there present and also to Maister Hearne the other godly Preachers who in offering him comfortable doctrine to strengthen him and establish his faith according as they heartilie desired perceiued him to be very fearfull wauering as it seemed would haue opened something but that this affliction of his minde would not suffer him This is he who was reputed For the flower of Oxensoorde whyle he studied there and since abroade in other forraine Countreyes by whome our Countrey hath gotten great honour the fruites of his learning vertue rare gifts were in him so admirable and wunderfull bothe heere at home and abroade in Italie Germanie and Bohemia an honour to our Countrey a Glasse and mirrour a lyght and lanterne a patterne and example to youth age learned vnlearned religious and the laytie of all sortes state and condition for modestie grauitie eloquence knowledge vertue and pietie Is it not meruaylous to heare the impudencie of this shamelesse Reporter howe according to our French Historian he maketh him selfe the Image of all vntrueth You shall heare Campion his owne confession to those of woorship in this Cittie during the tyme he was in the Tower and then let this large style blazed of him be receyued into iudgement accordinglie He confesseth that he neuer passed farder in Diuinitie then Canisius dictates whose writing is verie well known to our learned Diuines héere in England according as he writ he followed in study so that if he writ false then he followed false if he sayde true then he was in the truth which of these he could not make aunswere which was most certaine This was déepe learning and high knowledge for him to make so prowde a Challenge as he dyd and for this Reporter to write so arrogantly as he dooth inferring such modestie grauitie eloquence knowledge and vertue on him who was nothing acquainted with such singuler giftes Besides this Campion lykewise confessed him selfe that when he was at Praga beyonde the Seas he had lyttle or no helpes at all to imploye his studie which is some reason that he could not be so profounde so present and so well lettered as this gallant gloser fayneth him to be For at verie sildome tymes he had any Bookes to guide him and into such necessitie he was driuen teaching there two Gentlemens sonnes in the Latin tongue as when he had paper he had neither pennes nor inke and when he had inke eyther he wanted pennes or paper so that euer he was without some néedefull thing that should haue holpen him euerie way All these thinges considered maye mooue the simplest body to vnderstād he coulde not be such a fellowe as he was takē for of some This béeing vnderstoode well perceyued by many bothe woorshipfull learned and wise who had conference with him caused them to estéeme of him according and to make reporte of his learning as they found it Which hath made this Reporter vnreuerently and without modestie to reprooue my Lord Bishop of London who sayde of Campions learning as before is expressed which this fellowe ridiculouslie applieth to follie neither giuing him his calling of Honour nor shewing him the reuerence he ought to doo but according to the nature of them all plainlie sheweth his venemous heart And there lykewise he scorneth at Maister Whitakers Booke mislyking my Lords iudgement thereof promising an aunswer thereto as also to publish the disputations in the Tower to the honour of Campion I wyll not gainesay but they may as wel shuffle foorth a shamelesse reporte on theyr owne parte concerning the sayde disputations as they haue this trayterous Libell but when it commeth I trust it shall not passe without the iudgement of those who wil aunswer them to any thing I will omit sayth our Reporter though it be much materiall Campion his vsage in his tyme of imprisonment his constancie and patience his fiue dayes fast from temporall and bodilie sustenaunce his two nightes abstinence from ordinarie sleepe and rest and the time he bestowed in meditation prayer This to be false and vntrue they that can tel haue auouched it wishing all men to estéeme it as an horrible and detestable vntrueth Comparing the māner of the executiō the English with the French I finde them so different the one from the other and bothe of them so far from trueth as I accoūpt it a waste labour to bestowe time in setting thē downe For bothe of them make these Traitors To be so milde patient vertuous as though neuer their like was seen wherfore the bréefe and true manner therof which I my self haue published in my former book shall aunswer all the errors made by them As for the course of rayling he taketh against those of woorship learning and iudgement I will aunswer with the Euangelist Blessed are you when men shal curse you speake all euill against you and make lyes of you for my sake be you glad and reioyce because your reward is the greater in the kingdome of heauen for so haue they dealt with the Prophetes that were before you Now where he saith What charity was it to put pinnes vnder the nailes of Alexander Brian and for his corporall sustenaunce he was driuen to lycke the moysture of the walles It is as all the rest are a most deuillishe and malicious report and that Sir Owen Hopton will affirme with many more who sayeth it to be as false as it is true that God lyueth in heauen But then let me aske him what charity is it for them so vnmercifully to torment the members of Christes body as they doo daylie some tormented three dayes and three nightes together in the Strapado some hanged vp naked by the armes and pricked to death with sharpe Canes others dismembred gréeuouslie and a number persecuted with excéeding tiranny A spectacle of their charitable dealinges shall shortly come foorth in my other Booke howe cruelly they tormented an Englishe man to the death at Roome onelie for his faith and spotlesse Christianitie Then you shall beholde their looue and charitie which forced their owne Doctors into a troubled and vexed conscience beholding the patience triumphing and great ioy this faithful persecuted Martir made bothe at his death and continuing the whole tyme of theyr horrible tormentes He concludeth his Lybell saying God saue the Queene thinking therby to shaddowe his villainous and trayterous heart No no we knowe that all that say Lord Lord shall not enter into the

of Traytours from all motions of mischaunce that may any way annoy it and that as God hath blessed it hither to with the glorious beames of his sacred Gospell through her who is the mother and maynetainer of our ioy by the same euen so that he wyll long lend vs her to increase it long blesse the Realme to enioy it and vs all faithfully to looue it and her Maiestie And whereas he sayth they were all fables and no trueth not able to bee prooued any way notable testimony remaineth how theyr treasons were manifestly prooued bothe by their owne confessions and writings vncorrupted witnesses and euident proofe of euery thing that was obiected against them and not that they were condemned for their religion as this false reporter saythe but for high Treason intended practised and conspired against her Maiestie and the Realme the summe whereof is so odious that any good minde loatheth to heare it Agayne he sayth That when the witnesses where produced and sworne to witte Munday Cradocke Sled and Hill all of very base condition who were so well seene in lyes that they seemed to be borne and nourished therein they had the foule ouerthwart albeit with shamelesnes and vehemencie they mainetayned theyr accusation against these good and innocent men As for our basenes or simplenes we will not stande to contend with him though wee knowe we haue all one father and that we are all made of one mettall Againe we know God hath chosen the despised of the world to confoūd them that thinke themselues moste mighty But where he saith We were so well seene in lyes that we seemed to be borne and nourished therein I can leuell at his meaning How that bothe he and they beléeuing in lyes obeying the Author of lyes and dayly fed and nourished with lyes hate nothing so much as the trueth so that when they are truely and faithfully reprooued of their owne wicked and naughtie dealings then they storme and keepe a coyle exclayme defame and vse vnreuerent spéeches so that what toucheth them with moste trueth is starke false and nothing but lyes If this be not his meaning I take it so and can prooue it so for that bothe impudentlie and shameleslie they denied all manifest truethes brought and prooued against them and neither had we a fowle ouerthwart or any motion of a disproofe but in déede Maister Campion oftentimes would offer to trippe me in my tale and would question with the other subtillie according to his vsuall wunt and if this was a fowle ouerthwart when no reason was made or showen of any such occasion let the learned iudge who can discerne trueth from falsehood and traytours from true and loyall Subiects but we must suffer him to kéepe his ordinarie course of vntrueth least perhaps he shoulde chaunce to forget it Then he setteth downe y e Euidēces giuen which you may sée in my other Booke with more trueth then he vseth the matter reporting that which Sled neuer spake nor thought wherfore we let it passe among the number of vntruethes And then vnreuerentlie he cōmeth to Maister Seriant Anderson and Maister Popham the Quéenes Maiesties Attorneye generall wherein our Historian aptlie discouereth him selfe but as Enuie braggeth and draweth no blood so he thinking to iniure others sheateth his venemous blade in his own brest And all this whyle sayth he the good religious Campion shewed him selfe so prudent and aunswered with such pietie and modestie that he not onely astonied the people there present but also brought the Iudges into admiration of him he was so present to him selfe and defended with so great equitie bothe his owne and his companions cause that it was esteemed they should be declared guiltlesse In deede I wyll not denie but this good irreligious Campion handled euerie cause with a smoothe and cullorable countenaunce béeing verie present and quick to him selfe in Sophistical conueyances and farre fet déepe pointes of Logique and indéede he did it with such a modest showe as Iudas when with a kisse he betrayed his Maister And I am perswaded that the people there present were astonied to heare and perceyue that so modest a countenaunce coulde harbour such a false and trayterous heart to God his Princesse and Countrey yea the Iudges dyd admire that a man as he was professing learning and looue in outwarde appearaunce shoulde be so ouercome by the Deuil as to séeke the spoyle and ruine of his Princesse and Countrey Good cause had the people to be astonied that so wicked members as they should be found among them who were true and faith full Subiectes and more cause had the Iudges of admiration to sée their owne Countreymen in a matter so horrible to appeare before them little dyd any there thinke to heare them declared guiltlesse their treasons so apparant and the proofe so euident but rather thought no torment sufficient to reward them who were so haynous offendours and therefore woorthilie and according to desart they were giuen vp guiltie And whereas he sayth It was since reproched to one of the twelue for the yll aduise vsed in searching their cause and that he should make aunswer he could doo no otherwise least he should not be thought a freend to Caesar We adde this to the trothlesse number lykewise the men béeing all knowne to be no one of them such as woulde make any such aunswere but as they sayd then they thāked God that they had liued to doo their Princesse such seruice as to cut off such rotten braunches from such a quiet common wealth so they saye styll and wyll continue therein let the aduersarie report what he can And héere he bringeth in That the next day Collington was found not to be at Rheimes in the specified time for that Maister Lankaster of Grayes Inne witnessed him then to be there with him by which meanes sayth he he delyuered this innocent man from death whereto he was already condempned Howe false this is it is sufficientlie knowne for so soone as the question was mooued Maister Lankaster béeing by made aunswer and neither was Collington condemned nor any of them there that was as then condemned for that all the matters were not heard neither had the Iewrie determined vppon any thing wherefore you maye sée howe he kéepeth his hande in vre with his accustomed vntruethes Vppon this sayth he one William Nicholson Preest standing by and knowing well that Foorde one of the prisoners was as wrongfullie accused as this other earnestly moued with a cōsciēce of veritie would as wel defend the innocencie of Foorde as the other before had done of Collington but it would not fadge with him for he was takē sent to prison Now shal you perceiue what trueth can be gathered of this place which if he were not so confounded in shame he would haue showen some signe of more discretiō rather then to set it so falsely downe after this manner When as Alexander

Brian was manifestly founde to be present at the trayterous Sermon which Iohn Hart made at Rheimes as an especiall encouragement to them all there sitting in audience to great disobediēce and hate of their Princesse and Countrey the sayd Alexander offered denial therof which notwithstanding Charles Sled defended truly to his face Whervpon this William Nicholson standing by amōg the people would take vppon him to affirme that Brian was not at y e sayd Sermon graunting him selfe to be present there then béeing euidentlie disprooued of his bolde attempt the treason of Brian appearing so manifest he was committed to prison according as rightly he had deserued He neither offered woorde on the behalfe of Foord either to defend his innocency or appeach his guiltines but euen as I haue set you downe so it was and no otherwise As for the determination of the Pope to replenish his Seminaries with such aboūdance of Schollers as he can cōueniently attaine vnto It is largely hādled in my other Booke to his shame all such as follow his humour in so traiterous perswasions Neuerthelesse this Sophister would smooth the matter after an other manner as that The Pope dooth it for meere looue and pittie to our Countrey to encrease such as shal profite in his seruice and to ayde the Church sayeth he which is so afflicted I would wishe him to kéepe that looue and pittie to him selfe for any good Subiect loatheth to heare a motion which maye offer disobedience to their Prince and Countrey and therfore loatheth him who offereth them such vnchristianlike seruice And héere I must not forget to answer his deepe iudgement as concerning Alexander Brian and the Crosse made of a peece of a Trencher which he had in his hande at the Arraignement which this fellowe sayth To be a great Crosse and that Maister Brian as Auncient bearer bare it there in the behalfe of them all vntyll sayth he he was corrected for it and because he woulde not laye it away a naughtie man by force tooke it from him to whome Brian sayde Thou hast taken from me my Image neuerthelesse I wyll fight vnder the Standarde thereof to the death Oh most impudent and shamelesse woordes it is so well knowne to be be vntrue that is héere rehearsed as I néede not to waste tyme in so vaine a matter For when he was reprooued for his shauen crowne and that stubbornlie and obstinatlie hee made aunswer He had good hope to doo it againe The Crosse was taken from him with so swéete a rebuke for such an idolatrous spectacle as if he had had any grace in him woulde haue constrayned him to be hartilie sorie for his follie And neither spake he the woordes héere falselie imputed to him or any matter to that intent onelie these woordes which haue béene rehearsed he spake verie scornefullie and without any showe of wisedome or modestie And because I wyll not be ouer tedious to the fréendlie Readers the vntruethes by him auouched at their execution I wyll bréestlie touche in rehearsall of the other Booke which is imprinted in Englishe as concerning the same matter shortlie knitting vp this slaunderous Libell to be as you maye perceyue by the confutation thereof the wryter thereof to be shamelesse in his shame one of the right broode as they all are of and his Booke equall with him in any euyll condition so that as the Trée is such is his fruite and as the wrighter is suche are his woorkes In the ende hée knitteth vp his Booke with a breefe reporte intituled The martirdome of Euerard Haunce an English Preest in An. 1581. And nowe you shall heare what most impiously he alledgeth on his behalf which is as followeth Euerard Haunce beeing a Minister of the Heretiques and a benefactour in England beeing in a verie greenous agony of sicknesse as it were neere to the death fell in a sound wherein he remained so long that his freendes altogeather reputed him for dead During the tyme he was in this traunce he seemed in a vision to see the infernall pit of hell and the Soules which were there tormented bothe night and daye with intollerable and greeuous paines yea the Soules of his freendes and most familliars which he verie well knewe in their lyfe time But that which is most straunge he sawe there the places assygned for some other of his freendes who were as then lyuing in the world and in sound and good estate of their health After this vision beeing come againe to him selfe he called for a Catholique Preest who beeing come vnto him how be it his Kinsfolkes were against it greatly as well for his Religiō as for loosing his benefice which was woorth much with great sorrowe repentaunce of his former lyfe he made his confessiō to the Preest wholy renounced his benefice embracing the Catholique faith It so chaunced that he forsooke his Coūtrey admonishing those verie earnestly whose places he had seene prepared for them in hell to amende their liues which they refusing to do dyed within short space after and wēt to hell to their places Then went he to Rheimes in Champaigne for to study Diuinitie where hauing stayed about two yeares and made Preest he felt a great zeale in him selfe to returne into his Countrey where not long since he was taken condemned to death and beeing executed he was ript vp and quartered and as his heart was throwen into the fire it leaped foorth againe three seuerall tymes This is one of our Historians faithfull reportes carrying as great credite as all the other doo these are the myracles of theyr Church whereof in my Englishe Romaine lyfe I wyll rehearse diuers of like aucthority and allowaunce which albeit they wyll vrge many to woonder and meruaile yet shall they be set downe in no other order then as them selues haue reported them and my self haue séen As for Euerard Haunce what he was how he lyued and how he dyed is already so largelie set downe in print that it were but double labour to rip it vp againe Traytour he was to her Maiestie and the Realme and so lyke a Traytour he ended his lyfe as all the rest of them shall I hope except God turne their heartes as I praye hartily he maye that they maye sée their horrible abuses and be hartilie for their haynous offences ¶ An Aunswer vnto an other seditious Pamphlet printed in Englishe and named A true report of the death and Martirdome of Maister Campion Iesuite and Preest Maister Sherwin and Master Brian Preests at Tiborne the .1 of Decemb. 1581. Obserued and written by a Catholique Preest who was present thereat TO rippe vp all the circumstances contayned in this Booke as the whole course thereof is Trayterous false and no trueth at all in it so would it séeme yrksome to any modest eare to abyde the rehearsall of such vnreuerent matter Yet neuerthelesse I wyl bréeflie touche some pointes thereof whereby
