A05269	The copie of a letter sent out of England to Don Bernardin Mendoza ambassadour in France for the King of Spaine declaring the state of England, contrary to the opinion of Don Bernardin, and of all his partizans Spaniardes and others. This letter, although it was sent to Don Bernardin Mendoza, yet, by good hap, the copies therof aswell in English as in French, were found in the chamber of one Richard Leigh a seminarie priest, who was lately executed for high treason committed in the time that the Spanish Armada was on the seas. Whereunto are adioyned certaine late aduertisements, concerning the losses and distresses happened to the Spanish nauie, aswell in fight with the English nauie in the narrow seas of England, as also by tempests, and contrarie winds, vpon the west, and north coasts of Ireland, in their returne from the northerne isles beyond Scotland.	Burghley, William Cecil, Baron, 1520-1598.; Leigh, Richard, 1561?-1588, attributed name.; Mendoza, Bernardino de, 1540 or 41-1604.	1588 (1588)	STC 15413; ESTC S108408	47,041	60

of ours on that side y e seas may persist in their former opinions against the experience lately seen as it is likely they may be forced to do to maintaine them selues in credit for continuing their necessary relief from the Pope and the King hauing no other means to keepe them from steruing or begging yet because I would not haue you further deceiued by them who haue not bene present in the Realme to see such contrary proofs against all their conceits as I and others haue done I will shew you a great number of manifest Arguments though I am sory at my heart to remēber them whereby you in your wisedome if you be not blinded by others shall see it most certaine that these former opinions for comfort to be had from hence will proue the next yeare as strong against vs and in some part more strong then they proued this yeare if any accompt should be made thereof First for the Nauy of England which hath this yere to the sight of the world proued to be of great force value for those Seas and able to ouermatch in their maner of fight double to their number of the great Gallions Carikes Galliasses or Gallies it is certaine that it will be greatly increased this next yeare For I know that within these few dayes bargaines are already made Imprest of money deliuered and certaine sent into the Estlands for great store of all maritime prouisiōs And as for the increase of the number of good shippes for the Quéenes proper vse there is already a great quantitie of timber ready and order giuen to fell more in Nouember and December next in the Countries neare both to the Sea and to Thames to build a number of ships of warre equall to these whose seruice was séene this yeare to haue ouermatched the great Armadas Castles of Spaine Italy And furthermore to ioyne with the Nauie of England this yeare following not onely the Hollanders and Zelanders but also shippes of Denmarke other partes of Estland will certainly be had in great numbers whereof there was none at all required this yeare past to ioyne with the Nauie of Englād Onely certaine Hollanders Zelanders offred their seruice according as they are bound in the end of this Sommer since the conflict neare Callice to ioyne with some of the English Nauie in the narrow seas to defend y e issuing of the Duke of Parma out of the ports of Flāders in that seruice at this time there are aboue fortie and sixe good ships of warre with the Uiceadmirall Iustinian of Nassau a man that agréeth too well with the English Nation and is a sworne enemie to all Spaniardes and Catholiques as it is reported for certaine there are thréescore more comming out of North-Holland to the Seas for the same purpose so as it is to be doubted that this Realme this next yeare will be double as strong as it was this last yeare As to the second branch of our hope depending vpon opinion of some great miscontentment of sundry persons against the Quéene the proofe of the contrary so appeared this yeare both of her actions to maintaine the liking of all her people of the generall earnest deuotion shewed to her by all estates Noble and meane rich poore as I thinke no Prince Christened euer had greater cause of comfort in her people which I may iudge to bréede a pride in her And to recompence the same she did most notably shew her selfe in this time euen when most danger was threatened in all her actions towards her people as carefull for their weale and for the safetie of her Realme without any speciall or particular prouision or regard to her owne person as euer any Prince could do First to let her people vnderstand what care she had to make her Realme strong against Inuasion she politikely yea most carefully by her owne frequent directions caused her whole Realme to be put in armes she tooke accompt thereof her selfe by monethly Certificat from such as were made her Lieutenauntes in euerie Shire of her Realme she caused Armour Powder Weapon to be sent to all Countries and Ordinance to all Maritime Countries There were also sundry Armies described to defend euery coast of the Sea and as I heard it reported by some that did know the secrets of the Court was importunate with her Counsell to leaue no day vnoccupied to bring these seruices to effect and yet she did still continue her Commissioners in the Low Countries to treat of peace which surely she desired to haue obtained so that she might haue had the same with certaine conditions So as to content her people shee did both treat and desire peace and did not in the meane time neglect to make her Realme strong for defence if peace could not be gotten But in the end when her demaunds were wholy refused whereof we and all Catholiques were most glad and that she vnderstood very certainely that the Armie of the Duke of Parma should come first to destroy the Citie of London she reuoked her Commissioners approched London in person and did lie as it were in the Suburbs of the same whereby they of the Citie tooke great comfort hauing daily in shew and muster of their owne ten thousand men armed and trained of very able men of the Citie and in readines thirtie thousand more able to fight She caused also an Armie to be brought to incampe néere the Sea side vpon the Riuer of Thames betwixt the Sea and the City twenty miles beneath the City and after the Army was come thither she would not by any aduise be staied but for comfort of her people and to shew her owne magnanimity of heart as she said she would so do though she was a woman she went to that Armie lying betwixt the City and the Sea vnder the charge of the Earle of Leicester placing her selfe betwixt the enemy and her City and there viewed her Armie and passed through it diuers times lodged in the borders of it returned againe and dined in the Armie And first saw the people as they were by their Countries lodged and quartered in their seuerall campes which she viewed from place to place Afterward when they were all reduced into battailes ready as it were to fight with any enemy she rode round about them and did view them curiously being accompanied onely but with the Generall and thrée or foure others attending on her But yet to shew her state I well marked it she had the sword carried before her by she Earle of Ormond There she was generally saluted with cries with shoutes with all tokens of loue of obedience of readinesse and willingnesse to fight for her as seldom hath bene seene in a Campe and army considering she was a Quéene and all tended to shew a maruellous cōcord in a mutual loue betwixt a Quéene and her subiects and of reuerence and obedience of

Subiects to a Soueraigne all which she acquited with very Princely thanks and good spéeches I could enlarge this description with many moe particularities of mine owne sight for thither I went as many others did and all that day wandering from place to place I neuer heard any word spoken of her but in praising her for her stately person and Princely behauiour and in praying for her life and safety and cursing of all her enemies both Traitours and all Papists with earnest desire to venter their liues for her safety And besides such particular Acclamations the whole Army in euery quarter did deuoutly at certaine times sing in her hearing in very tunable maner diuers Psalmes put into forme of Praiers in praise of almighty God no waies to be misliked which she greatly commended with very earnest spéech thanked God with them This that I write you may be sure I do not with any comfort but to giue you these manifest Argumentes that neither this Quéene doth discontent her people nor her people do shewe any discontentation in any thing that they be commaunded to do for her seruice as heretofore hath bene imagined She had also an Armie of about fortie thousand footmen and of sixe thousand horsemen vnder the charge of the Lord Hunsdon Lord Chāberlein as Lieutenant of that Army made ready from the Inland partes of the Realme to be about her owne person without disarming the maritime Counties so as many marched out of sondry Countries towards her at the very time that she was in the Camp some came to the Suburbes Townes neare London whom she remaunded to their Countries because their Haruest was at hand and many of them would not be countermaunded but still approched onward on their owne charges as they sayd to sée her person to fight with them that boasted to conquere the Realme But though the greatest nomber of the said souldiours were compelled to returne yet the Captaines Leaders and the principall Knightes and Gentlemen came to the Court to offer their seruice those were gratiously accepted of her with many thankes and are now for the more part returned with a full determination and firme promise to continue their Bands in such redines as vpon a few houres warning they will assuredly returne with them in good array Beside these foresaid Argumentes to disproue the opinion of discontentment of the people which heretofore hath bene thought a great furtherance to this honorable action I will also remember you some other more notable Actions to proue both contentation and readines in all the Nobilitie of the Realme at this time that were not tyed to abide in their countries by reason of their offices as Lieutenantes and Gouernours there for Martiall seruices For assoone as it was heard that the Quéene was come nere London and that the Armies were in gathering to come out of the countries for defence of all Inuasions and reportes brought from the sea coasts of the apparance of the Spanish Nauie all the Noble men in the Realme from East and West from North and South excepting onely such great Lordes as had speciall Gouernementes in Countries that might not lawfully be absent from their charge and some few that were not able to make forces according to their desire came to the Quéene bringing with them according to their degrées and to the vttermost of their powers goodly Bands of horsemen both Launces light horsemen and such other as are termed Carabins or Argeletiers lodging their Bands round about London and maintaining them in pay at their owne charges all the time vntill the Nauie of Spaine was certainly knowen to be passed beyond Scotland And of these Noble men many shewed their Bands of their horsemen before the Quéene euen in the fields afore her own gate to the great marucile of men of good iudgement as I heard reported for that the number of them was so great and so well armed and horsed as knowing that they were no parcell of the numbers of horsemen limited in euery Countrie and put into Bands with y e Armies described it was thought before they were séene that there had not bene so many spare horses of such valour in the whole realme excepting the North part of England towards Scotland whose forces consist chiefly of horsemen The first that shewed his Bands to the Quéene was that Noble vertuous honorable man the Viscount Mountague who howsoeuer men do iudge of him for opinion in Religion yet to tell you the truth he is reported alwaes to haue professed as now also at this time he did professe and protest solemnely both to the Quéene and to all her Court in open Assemblies that he now came though he was very sickly and in age with a full resolution to liue and die in defence of the Quéene and of his countrie against all Inuaders whether it were Pope King or Potentate whatsoeuer and in that quarell he would hazard his life his children his lands and goods And to shew his minde agréeably thereto he came personally himself before the Quéene with his Band of horsemen being almost two hundred the same being led by his owne sonnes and with them a yong child very comely seated on horseback being the heire of his house that is the eldest sonne to his son heire a matter much noted of many whom I heard to commend the same to sée a grandfather father and sonne at one time on horsebacke afore a Quéene for her seruice though in truth I was sory to sée our Aduersaries so greatly pleased therewith But I cannot conceale it from your Lordships knowledge because I thinke this Noble man is knowen vnto you hauing bene vsed as an Ambassadour to the King Catholique many yeares past by this Quéene as I haue heard to require confirmation of the treaties of amitie betwixt both their Fathers And of this Noble mans conditions I thinke there be some others of whom there is no accompt to be made that they will giue sauour to any attempt against the Quéene or to any Inuasion of the Realme There were also many at the same time that made shewes of great numbers of seruiceable horses whereof though it be no comfort to you to heare yet is it good that you be not abused for lacke of knowledge how the present state is here that you may better iudge hereafter what may be done to recouer this late losse and dishonour At this time the Earle of Lincolne and the Lord Windesore with some Knights and Gentlemen with them shewed their Bands as the Lord Montague had done and after them the Lord Chancelour shewed goodly Bands of horsemen and footmen at his owne house very manie and strong And within one or two daies after the Earle of Warwicke the Lord Burghley Lord Treasurer the Lord Compton and in the end of the day the Earle of Leycester and the Lord Rich besides sundry Knights of
