hath little cause to be solicitour for that God himselfe taketh care commonly that goods and honours so gotten and maintained as hi● be shall never trouble the third heire Marry for himselfe I confesse the matter standing as you s●y that he hath reason to forbeare that Country and to leave off his building begun at Denbigh as I heare say he hath done for that the universall hatred of a people is a perilous matter and if I were in his Lordships case I should often thinke of the end of Nero who after all his glory upon fury of the people was adjudged to have his head thrust into a Pilo●y and so to be beaten to death with rods and thongs Or rather I should feare the successe of Vitellius the third Emp●ror after Nero who for his wickednesse and oppression of the people was t●ken by them at length when fortune began to fa●●e●h h●m and led out of his Palace naked with hooks of Iron fastned in his fl●sh and so dr●wn through the City with infamy wh●re lo●en in the streets with filth and ordure cast upon him and a pri●k put under his chin to the end he should not lo●ke downe or hide hi● f●ce was brought to the banke of Tyber and there af●er many hundred wounds received was cast into the river So implacable a thing is the fur●ur of a mu●titude wh●n it is once stirred and hath place of reve●ge And so heavy is the hand of God upon tyrants ●n this world when it pleaseth his divine Majesty to take revenge of the same I have read in Lean●er in his description of Italy how that in Spoleto if I be not d●ceived the chiefe City of the Country of Umbria there was a strange tyrant who in the time of his prosperity contemned all men and forbare to injury no man that came within his claws esteeming himself sure enough for ever being called to render account in this life and for the next he cared little But God upon the sudden turned upside-downe the wheele of his felicity and cast him into the peoples hands who tooke him and bound his naked body upon a planke in the M●rket place with a fire and iron tongues by him and then made proclamation that seeing this man was not otherwise able to make satisfaction for the publique injuries that he had done every private person annoyed by him should come in order and with the hot-burning tongues there ready should take of his flesh so much as was correspondent to the injury received as indeed they did untill the miserable man gave up the ghost and after too as this author writeth But to the purpose seeing my Lord careth little for such examples and is become so hardy now as he maketh no account to injury and oppresse whole Countries and Commonalties together it shall be bootlesse to speake of his proceedings towards particular men who have not so great strength to resist as a multitude h●th And yet I can assure you that there are so many and so pitifull things published daily of his tyranny in this kinde as doe move great compossion towards the party that doe suffer and horrour ag●inst him who shameth not daily to offer such injury As for example whose heart would not bleed to heare the case before mentioned of M●ster Robinson of Staffordshire a proper yong Gentleman and well given both in religion and other vertues whose Father died at Newhaven in her M●j●sties service under this mans brother the Earl● of Warwick and recommended at his death this his eldest Son to the special protection of Leicester and his Brother whose servant also this Robinson hath bin from his youth upward and spent the most of his living in his service Yet notwithstanding all this when Robinsons Lands were intangled with a certaine Londoner upon interest for●s former maintenance in their service whose title my Lord of Leicester though craftily yet not covertly under Ferris his cloak had gotten to himselfe he ceased not to pursue the poore Gentleman even to imprisonment arraignment and sentence of death for greedinesse of the said living together with the vexation of his brother in law Master Harcourt and all other his friends upon pretence forsooth that there was a man slaine by Robinsons party in defence of his owne possession against Leicesters intruders that would by violence breake into the same What shall I speake of others whereof there would be no end as of his dealing with M●ster Richard Lee for his Manor of Hooknorton if I faile not in the name with Master Ludowick Grivell by seeking to bereave him of all his l●ving at once if the drift had taken place with George Witney in the behalfe of Sir Henry Le●gh for inforcing him to forgoe the Controlership at Woodstock which he holdeth by Patent from King Hen●y the seventh with my Lord Barkley whom he enforced to yeeld up his lands to h●s brother Warwick which his ancestors had held quietly for almost two hundre●h yeeres together What shall I say of his intollerable tyranny upon the last Ar●hbishop of Canterbury f●r D●ctor Iulio his s●ke and that in so foule a matte● Vpon Sir Iohn Th●o●ma●ton whom he brought pitifully to his grave before his time by continuall vexations for a peece of faithfull service done by him to his Countrey and to all the line of King Henry against this mans Father in King Edward and Queen Maries dayes Upon divers of the Lanes for one mans sake of that name before mentioned that offered to take Killing worth-Castle upon some of the Giffords and other for Throgmartons sake for that is also his Lords disposition for one mans cause whom he brooketh not to plague a whole generation that any way pertaineth or is allied to the same his endlesse persecuting of Sir Drew Drew●y and many other Courtiers both men and women All these I say and many others who daily suffer injuries rapines and oppr●ssions at his hands throughout the Realme what should it availe to name them in th●s place seeing neither his Lord careth any th●ng for the same neither the parties agrieved are like to attain any least release of affliction thereby but rather ●ouble oppression for their complaining Wher●fore to return again wheras we began you see by this little who and how great what manner of m●n my Lord of Leycester is this day in the state of England You see and may gather in some part by that which hath bin spoken his wealth his strength his cunning his disposition His wealth is excessive in all kinde of riches for a private man and must needs be much more then any body lightly can imagine for the infinite wayes he hath had of gaine so many ye●res together His strength and power is absolute and irresistable as hath beene sh●wed both in Chamber Court Councell and Country His cunning in plotting and fortifying the same
