Raigne vntill the third yeare of our now Soueraignes gouernment the Papists haue continually labored to aduance the supremacy of the Romane Church which to accomplish they haue contended thirty foure yeares in which time they haue not omitted to practise Treasons and Rebellions onely amongst vs here at home But haue also complotted to bring vpon vs Forraine Inuasions that from time to time so soone as they were dismissed of one hope they presently set a foote some other proiect both at home and abroad and still being by the loue and mercy of GOD towards vs continually preuented At last taking counsell with hell and Sathan they had practised a most hellish attempt wherein their Diuellishnesse brought it selfe nearest to the nature of the Diuell making fire and brimstone the instruments of our destruction And though the principall Actors of that euill haue thereby themselues destroyed yet the former experience of their continuall attempting may giue vs warning that they will not yet sease to attempt and though that Iesuites and Seminaries haue beene the principall Agents in all the seuerall complotted treasons and that the Papists amongst vs cannot generally be accused yet thus much I must say those persons and that Religion whereby Iesuites and Seminaries are receiued protected and concealed are equally to be accounted daungerous for were there not such receiuers amongst vs Romes state Traytors would not so fast come swymming from Tyber hither to arriue at Tyborne onely I conclude therefore that if in great Brittaine there were no Papists this Monarchy should be as free from treason as any Nation in the world But now deare Contrimen seeing you haue heard what godlesse and dangerous practises haue continually by Romes fauorites beene plotted against vs. I desire that with attention you will vnderstand what it is as they say for which with such vehemency they contend The world is made belieue that the aduancement of Religion is the onely cause for which they striue wherein they ioyne themselues vnto the Pope because there is no religion good but that which is by the Pope allowed wherein my purpose is to binde all Papists vnto their owne assertion That Pius Quintus whome those of their side doe account to haue beene a good Pope though by false perswasions too much misled before the time of his excommunication against Queene Elizabeth denounced sent his letter vnto her Maiestie in which hee did allow the Bible and Booke of diuine seruice as it is now vsed amongst vs to bee authenticke and not repugnant to truth But that therein was contayned enough necessary to saluation though there was not in it so much as might conueniently bee and that hee would also allowe it vnto vs without chaunging any parte so as her Maiestie would acknowledge to receiue it from him the Pope and by his allowanc which her Maiestie denying to do she was then presently by the same Pope excommunicated And this is the truth concerning Pope Pius Quintus as I haue faith to God and men as I haue oftētimes heard it auowed by the late Queene her owne wordes And I haue conferred with some Lordes that were of greatest reckoning in the State who had seene and read the letter which the Pope sent to that effect as haue bene by me specified And this vpon my credit as I am an honestman is most true By this then all our English Papistes either Iesuites or Seminaries may learne to knowe that it is not Religion that they striue for but onely to maintaine the Antichristian head of Romes vsurpt supremacie And if there bee in this presence any Romane Catholickes or so manie of this nation as shall heare of that which hath now beene spoken I entreate them as my deare and louing Countrey men that they will no longer bee seduced by any liuing spirite sent from Rome the Pope whom they beleeue hath himselfe allowed that in our Church VVe haue a doctrine of Faith and Religion sufficiently necessarie to Saluation Deere Countreymen wee haue then enough and neede not the helpe of anie Pope Sythence all the Papistes generally came vnto our Churches before our late Queene Elizabeth was excommunicated Against our Dread Soueraigne there is no Excommunication denounced In Gods name then let vs ioyne in our prayers and Sacraments and persorme a due obedience to God and to our King as wee are all of one Nation so let vs be all of one Church and christ beeing onely our head let vs all desire as in one sheepfolde to be the sanctified members of his glorious bodie If there be any Papists so foolish and altogether reasonlesse as to expect that in time his Maiestie may be drawne to such alteration or Tolleration as they desire I will them assuredly to know they hope in vaine for his Maiestie is and euer hath beene confidently resolued in matter of Religion to continue the selfe same order and profession which he now professeth Whereof I will giue you an instance Since the time of the Earle of Northumberlands Imprisonment there was amongst his papers found a letter which was obiected against him in Starre Chamber when himselfe was called vnto his answere The letter was directed to the Kings Maiesty that now is as he was then King of Scotland In which amongst other things the Earle had aduised his Highnesse not to desire to bee proclaimed Heire apparant to this Crowne nor proclaime Prince Henry to be the Prince of VVales But to stay the time vntill the Queenes death And that then he would resolue at his comming to admit vnto the Catholicks a Tolleration for their religion which he requested because the Papists did put some trust in him to Sollicit that businesse in their behalfe This letter beeing read his Maiesties owne answer was shewed Till that time by Gods owne hand preserued to signifie vnto the world ' his religious vnremoued confidence To the first parte of the Earles letter his Highnesse answered that he had no contrary purpose but to attend Gods leasure And for his motion concerning the Catholicks tolleration he was purposed to come vnto this kingdome in peace But as touching matter of Gouernment he was resolued neuer to alter anything either in Church or State His Maiesties most noble and Kingly resolution not enduring then to temporize vnder any pretext of humane pollicy Can it now be thought that his Highnes will be remoued in matter of Religion from that Station whereupon his Soules saluation standeth built Such Papists as notwithstanding the impossibility of their hope will still remaine peruerse despising to be admonished Let them know for certainty that the lawes concerning them shall receiue a most strict and seuere execution you therfore of the iury ought to be very carefull in that businesse And all the iustices in their seuerall Limits are in their allegiance to the King bound in conscience to vse all diligence so to obserue the Papists as that vnto their houses there bee not any lesuites or Seminaries intertayned

damnable a spirit is in their bookes and writings bewrayed All the Papists in this kingdome were most violently perswaded that vpon the Spanish inuasion they should all ioyne their greatest force with Spaine It was in them accounted an error of conscience want of courage and effeminate dastardie that they had suffered her Maiestie almost thirtie yeares to raigne ouer them They were threatned with Excommunication and vtter ruine both of themselues and their posteritie if they did any longer obey and defend or acknowledge her highnes to be their Queene or superior and did not foorthwith ioyne their forces to the Spaniards And to the end that this most godlesse trayterous inhumane and vnnaturall appointment by subiects to their lawfull annointed Soueraigne and natiue countrey might receiue the better acceptance There was vsed a most insinuating though faithlesse manner of perswasion guilded ouer with a seeming shewe of Holinesse For thus our English Romane Catholikes were promised That in the king of Spaines armie there were diuerse Priests readie to serue euerie mans spirituall necessitie by confession counsell and all consolation in Christ Iesus and that they should be so assisted by the blessed patrons both in heauen and in earth with the gard of all Gods holy Angels with our blessed Sauiour in the soueraigne Sacrament and with the dailye most holy Oblation of Christs owne deare body and bloud As that it could not fall out otherwise but that they should assuredly preuaile Hereby may the world perceiue in what Angelike manner of brightnesse Popish doctrine can suite treasons damnable euen as blacke as hell You haue heard what preparation was prouided by the Pope and Papists for the furtherance of Spaines intended inuasion we will now proceed to matter of action And but call to our remembrance that euer to bee remembred powerfull wo●ke of God for our deliuerance in the yeare 88. The king of Spanes Armado that admirable and warlike nauie so well furnished with valiant souldiers and all munition fit for warre when suddenly we were in danger by a Potent enemie to be surprised when her late Maiesties Royall Nauie was scar●ly put foorth to sea And the best ships of strength not fully furnished with shot and powder as was necessatie in so weightie a businesse yet to the neuer dying glory of a maiden Queene such was her princely power although at sea but in part ' vnprouided as that by the loue and grace of heauens eternall prouidence her Maiestie by a most noble Battell at sea euen in the presence of her kingdoms Territories did vtterly disperse and ouerthrow that surnamed inuincible Spanish nauie so that not any Spaniards floate vnlesse brought captiue could arriue vpon her Englands shoare Nor but verie few of their so much admired fleete of shippes returned to their natiue home Thus did God on Queene Elizabeth bestow a glorious victorie euen in the despite of Pope Papist trayterous Iesuits Seminaries Monkes Friers and all the rablement of that Antichristian See The power of Spaine was brought against vs by the procurement of our English Papists and what recompence was intended for them in the charitie of their catholike profession may appeare by that which the Duke of Medina Sidonia affirmed which was That both Catholickes and Heretikes that came in his way should be all one to him his sword could not discerne them so he might make way for his maister all was one to him Thus did Papists as still they doe desire to worke our downe fall in the certaintie of their owne destruction God hauing shewed his loue to our late Queene and kingdome by that wonderfull deliuerance before described The Pope to further his accustomed indeuours practised with Spaine about a new inuasion and the better to bring his purpose to passe Parsons that auncient Iesuite and most notorious traytor vnder the Pope chiefe gouernour of all the Iesuits principall enemies to Iesus was placed in the Spanish Court by whose perswasion there was a new Seminarie erected at Valedolyde from whence in three yeares there was sent thirteene priests into England to prepare a passage for the new intended inuasion Whereupon in the yeare 1591. a Proclamation went forth for the apprehending of all such Priests or Seminaries as should come from Spaine Because their intention was knowne vnto the State here But to the end the Diuell the Pope I should say might want no instruments for the effecting of murthers treasons and rebellions by Parsons procurement more Seminaries were erected in Spaine and England still troubled with Romes trayterous disciples But the new inuasion being twise set on foote God did so warre against their purposes as that their prepared Nauie was at sea dispersed by stormes so as most of them endured shipwracke That expectation failing then was the Infant of Spaine intituled to the Crowne of England and to that end sundry bookes diuulged Queene Elizabeth was by them accounted a tyrant more tyrannicall then Nero Decius Dioclesian Maxentius or any the greatest persecutors of the Christians Not thus contented from the yeare 88. to the yeare 99. there were continuall treasons practised against the Royall person of her late Maiestie Patricke Collen Lopez Yorke VVilliams Squier all attempting to murther her Highnesse All these attempts plots proiects trayterous stratagems taking no effect Then was there from the Pope a new Bull sent whereby the Papists were commanded to vse a formall maner of obedience vntill they might grow to be a strength sufficiently strong to depose the Queene Which expectation once accomplished then had they power by the sayd Bull to take vp armes against her Thus they neuer left continuall practising vntill a little before her Maiesties death about which time by some of the principall Agents in the last most horrible treason there was complotted another Spanish inuasion For the accomplishing whereof the yonger VVinter was a messenger vnto the king of Spaine and Guydo Fawkes vnto the Pope and a third was imployed to the Archduke The king of Spaine at that time being our enemie entertained VVinters motion with most kind acceptance protesting that the English Catholiks should bee as deare vnto him as his home-borne Castillians and in loue to the intended businesse vowed in the word of a king to defend their safety all which as souldiers say with pollicie in warre he might do being then our enemie But it is a matter cleane out of my Element and therefore I will dispute no further about it But the Counsell of Spaine holding a conference about the mannaging of the plot by VVinter layd It was obiected that there would be want of horse for such a businesse Whereupon Winter vndertaketh to furnish them with a certaine number and receiueth gold to that end At last the purposed designement being embraced with a generall consent a souldier standing by being some Commander a Captaine or such like ruffles out this souldier like Latine Nunc tempus pro nobis erit aliquid obtinere Now shall it be time for
