required this yeare past to ioyn with the Navy of England Onely certaine Hollanders and Zelanders offered their service according as they are bound in the end of this Summer since the conflict near Callice to joyne with some of the English Navy in the narrow Seas to defend the issuing of the Duke of Parma out of the Ports of Flanders and in that service at this time there are above forty and six good ships of warre with the Vice-Admirall Justinian of Nassau a man that agreeth too well with the English Nation and is a sworne enemy to all Spaniards and Catholiques And as it is reported for certaine there are sixty 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 upon opinion of some great miscontentment of sundry persons against the Queene the proofe of the contrary so appeared this yeare both of her actions to maintain the liking of all her people and of the generall earnest devotion shewed to her by all estates noble and meane rich and poore as I thinke no Prince christened ever had greater cause of comfort in her people which I may judge to breed a pride in her And to recompence the same she did most notably shew her selfe in this time even when most danger was threatened in all her actions towards her people as carefull for their weale and for the safety of her Realme without any speciall or particular provision or regard to her owne person as ever any Prince could doe First to let her people understand what care she had to make her Realme strong against inâ—asion she politikely yea most carefully by her owne frequent directions caused her whole Realme to be put in armes she tooke account thereof her selfe by monethly certificate from such as were made her Lievtenants in every shire of her Realme she caused armour pouder weapon to be sent to all countries and ordnance to all maritine countries There were also sundry armies described to defend every coast of the Sea and as I heard it reported by some that did know the secrets of the Court was importunate with her Councell to leave no day unoccupied to bring these services to effect and yet she did still continue her Commissioners in the Low Countries to treat of peace which surely she desired to have obtained so that she might have had the same with certaine conditions So as to content her people she 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 demands were wholly refused whereof we and all Catholiques were most glad and that she understood very certainly that the army of the Duke of Parma should come first to destroy the City of London she revoked her Commissioners approached London in person and did lie as it were in the Suburbs of the same whereby they of the City took great comfort having daily in shew and muster of their owne ten thousand men armed and trained of very able men of the City and in readinesse thirty thousand more able to fight She caused also an army to be brought to incamp neare the Sea side upon the river of Thames betwixt the Sea and the City 20 miles beneath the City and after the army was come thither she would not by any advise be stayed but for comfort of her people and to shew her owne magnanimity of heart as she said she would so doe though she was a woman she went to that army lying betwixt the City and the Sea under the charge of the Earle of Leicester placing her selfe betwixt the enemy and her City and there viewed her army and passed through it divers times lodged in the borders of it returned againe and dined in the army And first saw the people as they were by their countries lodged and quartered in their severall camps which she viewed from place to place Afterward when they were all reduced into battels 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 three or foure others attending on her But yet to shew her state I well marked it she had the sword carried before her by the Earle of Ormond There she was generally saluted with cries with shouts with all tokens of love of obedience of readinesse and willingnesse to fight for her as seldome hath been seen in a camp and army considering she was a Queene and all tended to shew a marvellous concord in a mutuall love betwixt a Queene and her subjects and of reverence and obedience of subjects to a Soveraign All which she acquited with very princely thanks and good speeches I could inlarge this description with many moe particularities of mine owne sight for thither I went as many others did and all that day wandring from place to place I never heard any word spoken of her but in praising her for her stately person and princely behaviour and in praying for her life and safety and cursing of all her enemies both traitors and all Papists with earnest desire to venture their lives for her safety And besides such particular acclamations the whole army in every quarter did devoutely at certaine times sing in her hearing in very tunable manner divers Psalmes put into forme of Prayers in praise of Almighty God no wayes to be misliked which she greatly commended and with very earnest speech thanked God with them This that I write you may be sure I doe not with any comfort but to give you these manifest arguments that neither this Queene doth discontent her people nor her people doe shew any discontentation in any thing that they be commanded to doe for her service as heretofore hath been imagined She had also an army of about forty thousand footmen and of six thousand horsemen under the charge of the Lord Hunsdon Lord Chamberlain as Lievtenant of that army made ready from the Inland parts of the Realme to be about her owne person without disarming the maritine counties so as many marched out of sundry countries towards her at the very time that she was in the camp some came to the suburbs and townes neare London whom she remaunded to their countries because their harvest was at hand and many of them would not be countermanded but still approached onward on their owne charges as they said to see her person and to fight with them that boasted to conquer the Realme But though the greatest number of the said souldiers were compelled to return yet the Captains Leaders and the principall Knights and Gentlemen came to the Court to offer their service and those were graciously accepted of her with many thanks and are
