gouernment of Fraunce no otherwise then the auncient statutes of the Danes Britans or Saxons doe at this day the Gouernment of Englande This vnnaturall Lawe had a barbarous beginning for the reporters thereof confesse that anno 420. the Franconians hauing abandoned their Countrey inhabited along the Rhine and especially about Treues The manners of these people being barbarous they liued vnciuilly without Lawe Which considered by Pharamonde their first Kinge the sonne of their Duke Marcomir He chose foure of the principall men of the Sicambrians whom he authorised by their wisedomes to giue a Law vnto the people The names of these foure were Vsucast Losocust Salgast and Visogust These foure made the Lawe Salique by which Lawe Emperiall gouernment say they is taken away from the daughters and heires of the Kinges of Fraunce This dead Lawe and many other to as little purpose were reuiued to bury the true and lawfull title of King Edwarde the 3. to the kingdome of Fraunce in the right of Quéene Isabell his mother the daughter heire of King Phylip le bel But King Edward nor his successors would not loose their right vpon such canterburie suggestions And some of them subiected the Frenchmen to English obedience And to this day the Armes and Imperiall title of Fraunce are ioyned to the honour of Englande To what purpose doth the law Mentall in Portugal forbid feminine gouernment King Philip deriueth his title from Marie the daughter of Iohn the third of that name king of Portugal and by that title is possessed of the kingdome It is God that disposeth kingdomes and the works of busie heads that vnlawfully séeke to withstand the law of nature in succession To be briefe this inuectiue prooued but a scare-crow it was indiscreatly written and negligently regarded King Francis or more truely the family of the Gwyses ancored their hope vpon the Popes sentence and in all the kings patents and other instruments caused to be intituled Frances of France Scotland England and Ireland king and in his shield quartered the Armes of England and to conquer the kingdome Come era apparente as Guiccerdine reporteth dyuers french forces were daily conuayed into Scotland who tooke and by force kept the strong townes and fortrises there The inhabitants oppressed thus with straungers were for their owne safegard driuen to sew vnto the Quéenes maiesty of England for aid to expel the french who sought the spoile and subuertion of Scotland The malicious purpose of the Guyses ioyned with commyseration of the daungerous affiction of Scotland the Quéene whereof was married and gouerned in France and so barred to vse the lybertie of her Crowne bound the Queenes Maiesty by the vertue of honour pollicie and charitie to sucker them with expedition To accomplish which matter her Maiestie sent a sufficient power towards Scotland by the Duke of Norfolke as generall who remained at Barwicke and the Lord Greay of Wilton being Liuetenaunt entred into Scotland and with her royall power ioyned with the Scots against the french who were soone weary of the English-mens comming But almightie God had set downe a more milde order to honour her Maiesty with the vanquishment of her enimies then by dynt of sword to accomplish which her highnesse sent Syr William Cycill knight at that time her Maiesties principall Secreatorie and nowe Lord Treasorer of England for the full knowledge of whose excéeding worthynesse I retourne the good reader to the Athenians commendation of the Philosopher Euxin and with him accompanied the learned and graue Gentleman Master Doctor Wotton to treat with the french who with their wisedomes so vanquished the french as to the quietnesse and safetie both of England and Scotland they forced them to depart with this following dishonour as Guicherdine reporteth who if he be pertiall it is in fauour of the french First that the King and Quéene of Fraunce and Scotland should leaue the Armes and title of the King of Englande and Irelande and that within sixe monethes at the furthest they shoulde cancell and renewe all their writings and instruments if there were any so made with the former Armes and Titles Further that the Realme of Scotland should be gouerned by the Counsell of twelue persons of the Nobilitie of the said kingdome whereof seuen shoulde bée nominated by the Scotish Quéene and siue by the thrée estates of the Parliament That the iniuries and trespasses committed on either part during the commotion should be forgotten and for the better assurance should be confirmed by the said Parliament That the Garrisons of french souldiers should retourne into Fraunce sauing onely in two fortes sixtie a péece subiect to the Iustice and paie of the Parliament of Scotlande That euerie man shoulde be rest●…red to his office in the saide Realme and that no french man should haue any more office benefite or administration what so euer in Scotland That the french shoulde not at anie time conuay Munition of warre or souldiers into Scotlande without consent of the saide Parliament with sundrie other straight obseruaunces on the behalfe of the french which Guicherdine concludeth Con grandissimo vantaggio honore della regina Inglese with the greatest aduauntage and honour of the Quéene of Englande a victorie no doubt of great glorie and honour Whereby her Maiestie not onelie deliuered her owne Countrey from the daunger of inuasion but also fréeed Scotlande from the bondage of forraigne Gouernment and thus her enemies hungring after an vnlawfull spoyle lost the disposement of an assured benefite which fortune befall to all those that miswish her Amen CHAP. 9. Of her Maiesties peaceable victorie against the rebels in the North ioyned with her quiet vanquishing of sundry other conspiracies to the vniuersall benefit of England PIus Quartus who succéeded Paulus 4. in the Popedome finding an abasemēt of the glorie with which his predecessours were honoured and fearing with all that the example of England Scotland Denmarke and Germanie would draw other Nations from the obedience of the Romishe erronious Church to the profession and receiuing of the Gospell of our sauiour Iesus Christ the life of the soule and destruction of this accursed Antichrist laboured with the consent of manie Princes to reuiue the Counsell or more properly the conspiracie of Trent A conspiracie I may iustly say the pollicy whereof was to kéepe vnder the glorious merite of our sauiour Iesus and to aduaunce to the highest degrée of reuerence the painted Idolatrie of the Pope And appointing for his Legates 5. Cardinals who with a great number of Bishops and other doctors of their Church the eyght day after Easter 1561. beganne this vnholy Counsell And truely as in the intent of their assembly was séene this saying of the Psalmist The kinges of the earth stande vp and the rulers take consell togither against the Lorde and his annoynted So likewise in their vaine idle successe this continuance of the Psalme is further séene He that
in this long disquiet realme in the 24. yéere of his raigne he peaceably called this noble king Henry vnto his heauenly kingdome and as a visible signe that he blessed the ioyninge of these two kingly houses in one hee gaue vnto this noble king by Quéene Elizabeth his wife sundrye goodly children of which as the vndoubted heyre of the kingdome by both titles was crowned the victorious king Henry the eight CHAP. 4. A sommarie of the royall vertues of king Henry the eight THe most victorious king Henry the 8. sonne of king Henry the 7. beganne his triumphaunt raigne the 22. of Aprill 1509. whose inuincible courage was feared and admired through al Europe He was a moste bountefull Prince towardes well descruing subiectes the magnanimity of his countenaunce kept them in a louing obedience In the 5. yéere of his raigne a fore presagement that he should clymbe aboue the Pope of Rome The Emperour Maximilian the Popes lawfull soueraine and all the nobilitie of Holland Braband and Flaunders receaued wages vnder king Henries banner whose puissaunce discomforted and abashed the whole power of Fraunce This royall king besides that he was Alexander in fielde he was a Philosopher in the Uniuersity And in his great learning blessed his subiectes with the fruites of this olde Prouerbe happy are those people whose king is a Philosopher And doubtlesse where the Prince is learned the people are peaceably gouerned Science which containeth all duties with varietie of examples so liberallie instructeth the louers and followers of her lore In the thirtéenth yeare of his raigne the King wrote with his owne hand a booke against Martin Luther for which the Pope named him Defender of the faith but little fore-feared he that God would make him the capitall offender of the Romish superstition Saule breathing out threatnings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lorde receiued a speciall charge from the high Priests for the persecution of all sort of Christians at Damasco but God whose wisedome iudgeth the determinations of men wrought a wonderfull change in Saule for of a persecutor he made him a faithfull Apostle and chiefe strengthener of the Gentiles Euen so gratious●…ie dealed God with this most noble King whereas the Pope imagined to haue by this title made him the sustainer of hys Idolatrie God by his holie spirit moued him to vse the same to the first capitall disgrace of Antichrist the Pope But as the good Father Latimer certified his Maiestie the title Defender of the faith simplie considered was more then was due to any earthly prince whē his holy word deliuered by his Ministers both fostered and defended the same But in as much as it was Gods good will that vnder this kings and his offsprings authoritie the same should haue the most visible protection it may be lawfully thought that it was his will that the Pope should so intitle him as foreséeing by his wisedome that this prince in his séed should ouerthrow the Popes vsurped authoritie the most publike enimie of the true auncient and Apostolike faith Many interprete this prophesie of Esdras ecce leo concitatus de sylua rugiens c. loe a Lyon hastely running out of the wood roring who with a mās voice reprooued the saucie and misproud Eagle to figure thys noble prince Henry the 8. The rauening Eagle that had the victory ouer the foure beasts which God would haue had rained in the world that troubled the méeke c. is likewise interpreted to be Antichrist the Bishop of Rome The Armes of Rome which is the Eagle and the actions of the Pope wel approueth their interpretation Now who is more like to be this Lion that came roring out of the wood and shewed the rauening Eagles villanies to all the princes of the earth then King Henry the eight who euermore stoutly defied the Pope who euermore plainely painted his murthers deceits and abhominations then King Henry the 8. nay who first catched him by the throte but King Henry the 8. When all christian princes stood in awe of his curse he banished all his authoritie out of England when the meanest Bishops in other realmes would checke their Kings in his cause he caused the whole Cleargy by his learned Councell to be iudged in a premunire for mainteining the power legantine of Cardinall Wolsey who being called by processe into the Kings bench were glad by submission to pray pay á hundred thousand pounds for remission When other princes feared to murmur against the Pope secretly King Henry in the name of himselfe and his Nobles wrote a booke against the counsell appointed by the Pope at Mantua signifying to the whole world that the Pope had no more authoritie then an other Bishop and how that the appointment of Counsels only appertained to the Emperour and other Princes of Christendome What Lion was euer so bold with the Eagle of Rome as this Lion of England What Lion is so like to come roring out of the wood as the Lion of England The Lion of Vennice commeth out of the water The Lion of England is proper passant bowes and arrowes which are his strength commeth out of the wood I would the Popes english fauourers would wey this prophelie with the pride enuy outrage both of diuine humane blessings setled in the hart and séene in the actions of this Emperious Pope and then by allegorie they would peraduenture repute him to be this ambitious Eagle signified by the armes of his sea capitol city Rome And on the contrary part if with the like regard they would behold the wonderful disgraces that this noble king by himselfe princely children hath daily giueth this enuious Pope they should haue large cause to beléeue that our Lion signified by the armes of England with his mans voice should set this misproud Eagles head aw●…y should vanish his wings weaken his kingdome in fine set his whole body of fire If they had any sence they might féele that our Lion in the name of the Lord thus saith hence thou misproud Eagle appeare thou no more neither thy horrible wings thy mischeuous heads thy rauening clawes nor thy hollow body cōpact of vanities The cause straight foloweth that thou once gone the earth may be refreshed that thy kingdome once fallen men may returne to freedom c. I demād what reckning they cā make of the egles 12. wings that ouerspread the earth by Gods appointment since our Lion first shoke him vp or as the text saith since the wind K. Henries thūdring voice spread abrod his wickednes Sée if Englād be not shronk frō him Scotlād denieth him Hol and Brabant and Flanders delieth him Germany paints him as a mōster Denmark is parted frō him France is deuided Polland is indifferent if Spaine Italy be constant they be well paid for their frendship The Eagle the Pope that sometimes was capitalis dominus as well as summus pontifex
deathes of any of their enimies certainly if the forward Gentleman Master Iohn Cheeke had not receiued his death more of voluntary then néedful boldnesse it had béene in reckoning as well as reputation a right mayden victory This ouerthrow dismayed the Pope and brake the hearts of the English fugitiues whereupon the seconde supplie was stayed and the souldiers were dismissed I was in Rome when Rome was occupied with other news the first made not the Englishmen so Iocund as the second made them pensiue they honge downe their heads and had not as the prouerbe goeth a word to speake what mine owne eyes behelde I boldly set downe to their shame Thus the daungerous intention of the king of Spaine the Pope the Duke of Guise her Maiesties forraine enimies which tended to the inuasion of England Ireland and Scotland 1580. to the glory of God and great honour of her Maiestie was peaceablie defeated and since this Chapiter chiefely concerneth the action of Ireland to diswade others from rebellion I thinke it necessarie to shewe the easie confusion of the Irish Traitours that tooke the Popes part Iames Fitzmoris death is alredie showne Not long after this sound ouerthrowe of the Popes forces in Ireland which was Malum omen to all his confederates The Earle of Desmond after that he had secreatlie wandred a season without sucker like a myserable beggar was in his Caben taken by one of the Irishrie and in an Irish sort after his accustomed sauage manner his head was cut from his shoulders an ende due to such an Archrebell Doctor Saunders the Popes Irish legate in the like extremitie wandring in the mountaines in Ireland without sucker dyed in a phrensie The fourth man of singular note was Sir Iohn of Desmond brother to the Earle a very bloodie faithlesse traitour and a notable murtherer of his familyar friends who also wandring to séeke some pray like a Woolfe in the woods was taken and beheaded after his owne vsage being as he thought sufficiently armed with the Popes buls and certaine Agnus dei and a notable ring about his necke sent from the Popes finger as it was said but he saw these saued not his life The Pope may well perswade that there are much vertue and strength in holy presents but his myserable instruments féele that their onely strength is in bringing of themselues to confusion This yere 1580. Iohn Stow Crownacleth that the 17. day of Iune in the parish of Blamsdon in Yorke-shire after a great tempest of lightning and thunder a woman of the age of 80. yeares named Ales Perin was deliuered of a straunge and hidious monster whose head was like vnto a sallet or head peece the face like vnto a mans face except the mouth which was like vnto the mouth of a Mouse the fore part of the body was like vnto a man hauing eight féete and not one like vnto another and a taile of halfe a yard long which monster saith he brought into the world no other newes but an admiration of the deuine workes of God but certainly Almightie God who since the comming of his sonne in whose sacred Gospel whatsoeuer is necessary for mans saluation is contained hath left familiarly to talke with men as in the time of the Prophets yet he sendeth prodigious signes to acquaint the worlde with some offensiue matter to his diuine Maiestie which his vengeaunce not long after for the most part punisheth and in my opinion leauing the knowne trueth to God and euery mans censure to himselfe this monster is a right figure of the Popes estate who being the Whore of Babylon in her old age and wane of her glorie hath brought foorth a visible monster The heade which resembleth a helmet sheweth his malitious desire to vpholde his kingdome by Paules sworde synce that hée findeth no strength in Peters Keyes His mouth that was wont to feare all Christendome with threateninges and cursing by the symilitude of a Mouses sheweth that for all his mallice hée hath no more might then a Mouse His eight Legges not one like another s●…eweth as I before haue showen that his kingdome is now in the case that Mahomets was in the beginning sustained by the Atheist Traitors Murtherers and discontented persons of all Nations The tayle which is naturall to a beast sheweth that his Murders and barborous impieties declare him to bée a visible beast and monster and that hée thus appeared in the North is a faire warning vnto those people howe they bée seduced by his painted and hypocriticall deuises for from those partes hée expecteth great sucker which God defende him from and open the eyes of all her Maiesties subiectes vnderstanding that they may deserne the truth from falsehood and then next the diuell they shall vnderstande him to be the father of all lyes whom shame and confusion followeth as also those that are associates in his vnrighteousnesse CHAP. 12. The daungerous and seditious practises of Edmond Campion and other English Iesuites by Gods prouidence frustrated their worthy confusion and their apparant slaunders of her Maiestie and godly gouernement reproued AMong a number whose iudgementes reach no farther then their eyes and opinion is setled that Campion and his fellow Iesuites by reason of their peaceable profession were executed with too seueere Iustice and charged with treason vnpossible for them to compasse as ciuill rebellion and forraigne inuasion it is set downe in a booke published by authoritie which effectually maintaineth the Iustice of England that Persons and Campion had faculties graunted by Pope Gregorie the 13. the 14. of Aprill 1580. That the Bul of Pius quintus should alwayes binde Queene Elizabeth and the heretikes but the Catholikes it should by no meanes bind Who so shal herein consideratly way the pollicy of the Pope and the diligence of his traiterous instruments may plainely sée a great likelyhood of rebellion and a wonderfull daunger by Gods prouidence preuented To draw men from obedience towards her Maiestie they had this large warrant from the Pope which figuratiuely imported a blessing to those that would strengthen their rebellion and with this Pope holy colour if you ioyne the hypocritical subtill and alluring feaches of these Iesuites you shall easily perceiue that they came rightly armed for rebellion and in their schollers habit procured more daunger to her Maiesties person than could an armed Armie with twentie thousand Launces The multitude as Sophocles saith is a monster with many heads and euery head gréedily followeth alteration of Gouernment If they be in prosperitie they grow insolent if in pouertie they murmure a religion that pleaseth their eye is far more welcome than that which instructeth their soule they beare a naturall enuy vnto their superiours and easily beléeue all the slaunders that are raised of their Prince and principall Maiestrates To deceiue the ignorant with a painted holynesse some of these seditious Iesuites tooke Geneua in their way and arrogantly offered to
