A19619	The copie of a letter to the Right Honourable the Earle of Leycester, Lieutenant generall of all her Maiesties forces in the vnited Prouinces of the lowe Countreys written before, but deliuered at his returne from thence: vvith a report of certeine petitions and declarations made to the Queenes Maiestie at two seuerall times, from all the lordes and commons lately assembled in Parliament. And her Maiesties answeres thereunto by her selfe deliuered, though not expressed by the reporter with such grace and life, as the same were vttered by her Maiestie.

bene before in deliberation amongst them and resolued vpon as appeared by their former petition exhibited to her Highnesse wherein they had expressed the same resolution Notwithstanding for her Maiesties further satisfaction they had entred into a newe consultation and for that purpose selected a great nomber of the choysest persons of that higher house of Parliament to conferre thereof either priuatly or together with the lower house which also was done accordingly at seueral times At all which conferences it was concluded by them all and so afterwards by the whole assembly of both houses that there could be no other assured meanes for the preseruation of her Maiesties life continuance of Gods Religion quiet of this State then by the full execution of the sentence according to their former petition instantly pressing her Maiestie with many arguments reasons tending thereto all which though by distance from his Lordship I could not wel conceiue yet this I did remember precisely especially was one that as it were iniustice to denie execution of Law at the suit of any one particular and the meanest of her people so much more not to yeelde to the earnest instance and humble prayers of all her faithful and louing subiects And so concluded with earnest petition for her Maiesties resolute determination and answere for a present and speedy direction by proclamation and otherwise also according to the forme of the statute A SVMMARIE REPORT of the second speech vttered by the Speaker of the Lower House by direction of all the Commons THat if her Maiestie should be safe without taking away the life of the Scottish Queene the same were most likelie and probably to grow by one of these meanes following 1 First that happily she might be reclaimed and become A repentant conuert agnising her Maiesties great mercie and fauours in remitting her heynous offence and by her loyaltie hereafter performe the fruites of such conuersion 2 Or els by a more Strayght guard be so kept as there shoulde be no feare of the like attempts hereafter 3 Or that good assurance might be giuen by Othe Bonds or Hostages as cautions for her good and loyal demeanour from henceforth 4 Or lastly by Banishment the realme might be voyded of her person and thereby the perils further remoued that growe to her Maiestie by her presence The moments whereof being duely pondered did yet appeare so light in all their iudgements that they durst not aduise any securitie to rest in any no not in all of them For touching her cōuersion it was considered that if pietie or duetie could haue restreined her frō such heynous attempts there was cause abundantly ministred to her on Maiesties behalfe when she not onely protected her against the violēce of her own subiects who pursued her to death by Iustice but couered her honor when the same by publique fame was touched by very heynous and capitall crymes obiected and proued against her before certeine Commissarie delegates assigned to examine the same more then blemished spared her lyfe when for her former conspiracies confederacies with the Northren Rebelles her highnesse was with great instance pressed by both the houses in the xiiii yeere of her Maiesties reigne to do like iustice vppon her as nowe is desired and as her treasonable practises then had most iustly deserued And where the penaltie of this Acte sufficiently notified vnto her should haue terrified her from so wicked attempts she hath neuerthelesse insisted in her former practises as a person obdurate in malice against her Maiestie and irrecouerable so as there was no probable hope of any conuersion but rather great doubt and feare of relaps and recidiuation forasmuch as she stood obstinately in the deniall of matter most euidently prooued and now most iustly sentenced against her and was not entred into the first part of repentance The recognition of her offence and so much the farther off from the true fruites that should accompany the same As for a surer guard and more strait imprisonment it was resolued that there was no security therein nor yet in the other two meanes propoūded of bonds and hostages for asmuch as the same meanes that shoulde bee practised to take her Maiesties life away which God forbid would aptly serue both for the deliuery of her person release of the bonds hostages that should be giuen for cautions in that behalfe which being vnhappily atchieued and to our irreparable losse who shoulde sue the bonds or deteine the hostages or being deteined what proportion was there in bonds or hostages whatsoeuer to counteruaile the value of so precious and inestimable a Iewel as her Maiestie is to this Realme and to vs all But she will solemnly vowe and take an othe that she will not attempt any thing to the hurt of her Maiesties person Shee hath already sundry times falsified her worde her writing and her othe and holdeth it for an article of religion That faith is not to be holden with heretikes of which sort shee accompteth your Maiestie and all the professors of the Gospel to be And therefore haue we litle reason to trust her in that wherof shee maketh so small a conscience As for banishment that were a step à malo in peius to set her at libertie a thing so greatly desired and thirsted for by her adherents and by some Princes her Allies who sought her enlargement chiefly to make her a head to be set vp against her Maiesty in time of inuasiō To the which were added some fewe reasons collected out of her owne letters the confession of Babington her instrument and chiefe conspiratour by which appeared howe her owne conscience bewrayed what might iustly fal vpon her in case any of her intended desseignements came to light that shee might haply bee shut vp in some more close and straite prison as the Towre of London if there befell her no worse thing and in that she directed Babington in case he failed in the action of her deliuery that he should neuerthelesse proceede in the residue which was the death of her Maiestie who also confessed that vpon assurance of her Maiesties death or the arriuall of strangers he intended to proclaime of Q. of Scots and made no doubt of the desired successe and therefore her Maiesties death being so earnestly sought for aduancement of this competitor her Highnes could not remaine in quietnes or securitie if the Scottish Queene should longer continue her life THE SECOND ANSVVERE made by the Queenes Maiestie deliuered by her owne mouth to the second speeche vttered in the names of the Lords Commons of the Parliament FVL grieuous is the way whose going on and end breede comber for the hire of a laborious iourney I haue striued more this day then euer in my life whether I shoulde speake or vse silence If I speake and not complaine I shal dissemble if I holde my peace your labour taken were full vayne For mee to make my
