therein the Diuelles clawes which maâ—â€¦ie that are yet lyving haue seene displayed in the town of Liere in Brabant at such tyme as it stood out in rebellion against the King so may you now see how rebellion against the king rebellion against God do concurre toge ther for where as ancient good Christians having bin taught by the example of the moste glorious Christian Emperor Constantinus Magnus to fight vnder the signe of the Crosse these new contrarie Christians abhorring that signe haue more deuotion to the clawes of the deuill a well deuysed and befitting ensigne for such as foght vnder it Tawncy-scarf I wote well there is in Holland free libertie of conscience allowed to all and free exercise of Religion allowed to some but of anie their enclyning to Mahometisme or to Iudaisme or of their marching vnder the deuilles clawes haue I not heard Red-scarf Where free libertie of conscience is allowed why may not euerie one belieue as him list what shal restrayn him If you doubt of the Hollanders making difficultie of turning Turckes do but enquire what they haue don at Tunis where they haue falâ—â€¦e to Mahometisme by whole shipfulls at once and afterward to mend the matter haue taught the Mahometanes of those partes the laudable science of Piracie for the more affliction of Christians and as for Iudaisme such as lyke there of and lyke no swynes flesh or can bee content to forbeare the eating thereof may bee circumcised when they wil and then speak as much blasphemie against Christ as the devil wil direct them to do Thus haue I heer shewed you what great wrong the King of Spayn hath donne this people and what great cause they haue to complayn of his breach of their priuileges which is alwaycs in their mouthes albeit they would neuer vouchsase to produce anie one old priuilege for the robbing of Churches I haue also shewed you where the inquisition began and the cause why it was first put in practise in Saxonie afterward in Spayn the name whereof is now asmuch put in practise in Holland in continuall pamphlets preachings as is the name of a Bulbegger to make litle children afrayd Tawney-scarf These bee thinges I haue not to do withal Red-scarf But these bee thinges that belong to the purpose heer to bee alleaged Tawney-scarf The Hollanders were and are our neer neyghbours freindes and therefore Queen Elizabeth saw great reason to vphold them against her potent enemie the King of Spayn Red-scarf Before I come to discours about Queen Elizabeths reason for taking the Hollanders partes giue mee leaue I pray you to speak a litle of the blynd ignorance of our vulgar multitude heer in England to the end you may consider of the reasoÌ„s why they hate the Spagniard loue the Hollander to see how well wisely this loue hatred is founded That England and Spayn haue anciently remayned in great amitie together Histories Chronicles wil witnes and the diuers alliances and mariages often made between those two countries can also giue testimonie thereof True then it is that the great breach and hostillitie between England and Spayn began but in these our dayes let vs now see consider why how it began to wit whether by Spayn or by England King Phillip the second of Spayn as all the world knoweth did vpon the death of Queen Marie his wyf giue place and quiet entrance vnto Queen Elizabeth for further proof of his desyre of continuance of peace and amitie with her hee freely gaue vnto her all Queen Maries Iewelles they iustly belonging vnto himself hee also kept his Ambassador lidger in England as the sayd Queen kept hers also in Spayn profeising out wardly vnto him all loue and amitie and yet this not-withstanding shee permitted secretly and vnderhand the transporte of Artillerie and Munition of warre to the Moores of Granado to enable them to rebel iust about the verie same tyme that the Netherland rebellion was determined to bee begun that thereby thee King of Spayn might haue his handes full by beeing thrust in-to two warres at once both which shee vnderhand furthered but more the warre of the Netherlandes then that of Granado because of the redier comoditie Soon vpon the contryving of this plot when the King of Spayn to appease the Netherland broyles in the beginning had sent the Duke of Alua with forces into those partes and after his arryuall there sent him a supply of 600000 crownes some affirme it to haue bin 800000. shee ceazed vpon this monie in the west parte of England and having gotten it into her handes did therewith assist his Netherland Rebelles whereby his monie ordayned to haue serued himself against his rebelles came to serue his rebelles against him and bred besydes this a farre greater inconvenience for it was the cause why the Duke of Alua demaunded the tenth pennie of the countrie peoples goodes whereby they became the more alienated and apt to rebellion Some yeares after this Captayn Drake was employed from England to the west-Indies where hee robbed the King of Spayn of about a million and a half of his treasure These and sundrie other wronges and detriments were donne by the sayd Queen vnto the King of Spayn at such tyme as either had their Ambassadors the Ministers of peace in each others countrie they professing to each other loue and amitie The King of Spayn dooing against the Queen of England no acte whatsoeuer to the contrarie whereas she contrariwise continued to do against him vnderhand as manie wronges as she could besydes those great notorious wronges heere mentioned But when these grew so frequent that the smart vnto the King of Spayn became intollerable and so manifested vnto the world that all other Princes and people took notice thereof how was it possible that it could stand with the honor of a King and of such a potent King as is a King of Spayn stil to continew to put vp wronges as fast as shee continued to do them hee was therefore at the last moued to the preparation of his great Armada naual of the yeare of our Lord 1588. the memorie whereof by the incessant clamours of Puritanical enemyes of peace hath possessed more place in the heades of the inconsiderate vulgar multitude then the manie great wronges that enforced it But thankes bee vnto God our peacefull King Iames coming to the crown and wel knowing how matters had passed did to the great happynes of the Realme salue vp this sore from further festering wherevnto hee found Spayn most redie and willing and wel content to let pas and forget all English iniuries for to giue the Spagniaerds their due certayn it is they are men that are not of vnreconciliable revengefull natures nor such long entertayners of desyre of reuenge as some other nations are sayd to bee And this appeereth manifestly in this nation more theÌ„ in others for notwith standing all fore going hostillitie between Englishmen

and Spagniards both by sea and land and enuasions euen in Portugall and Spayn it self whereof people may remayn more sensible then of an vnefectuall Armada yet hath not anie English Ambassador or anie other of the English nation bin by Spagniards in Spayn barbarously abused but I am ashamed euen for the honor of our nation to repeat how Spanish Ambassadors and other Spagniardes haue bin vsed in England As for the sundrie benefits which the commerce and traficque between England and Spayn hath broght vnto our countrie and nation I doubt not but manie of our marchants seafaring men and others wil confesse and farre more profit and benefit wil no doubt ensue the moste honorable and great alliance now expected But let vs come to our good neyghbours and friendes the Hollanders and consider of the gratefull goodnes and benefits which wee reap by them that thereby wee may know how wel and wysely wee are aduysed to esteem them for our good Neyghbours and friendes and so friendly sticking vnto them That wee haue for aboue these fiftie yeares taken their partes is sufficiently known that the people of England haue often tymes generally smarted by the great pressures and parlamental payments imposed vpon them by Queen Elizabeth to vphold these friendes and neyghbours withall is lykewise wel enough known as also that great boundance of English blood hath bin shed in their quarrel an infinite number of Englishmennes lyues lost whose courage and valour was woorthie of more honor then in their base and dishonorable seruice could bee deserued and now when all comes to all they are so farre from honest ciuillitie that they will not acknowledge anie friendship donne them and therefore can they not entertayn anie thoghts of obligation or gratitude nay they dare playnly tel vs that wee are beholding vnto them which is asmuch to say as that they expect gratitude at our handes Tawney scarf In deed I must confesse I haue heard them affirme that our assisting them was to free our selues from warre in our own countrie by meanes of Spanish enuasioÌ„ which may carrie some reasoÌ„ Red-scarf But what reason was there why wee should haue anie feare of Spanish enuasion then onlie for our taking their partes against their true and lawfull Soueraigne the King of Spayn Tawney-scarf I must remayn your debter for the giuing you a reason heerof vntil I am able to do it Red-scarf But I must tel you further that they do not onlie deny all gratitude where it is due and vniustly claym it where they ow it but passing further beyond the limits of reason and humanitie they discouer themselues to bee such monsters as to beare a verie diuellish hatred both vnto our nation and to our moste gratious Soueraigne himself Against our natioÌ„ their actious declare it against our Soueraigne their vilanous tounges Of their moste vile and contemptible vsage of our nation in the East-Indies I shal not heer need to speak the letters written by our marchants and others from thence do declare it Their vsage of vs in Groon-land and the vndooing of our long continued trade in Muscouie I wil also omitt but wee fynd that they are the verie caterpillers and desroyers of our comon welth by all the wayes and meanes they can deuise for they haue not onlie by meanes of their corespondent countriemen conueyed and drawn by stelth our gold and siluer out of the Realme but they haue broght the whole Realme in a generall decay of traficque to the empouerishing and vndooing of thow sandes of the inhabitaÌ„ts as all that deal in clothing in all partes of the Realme wil confesse As for their vilanous speeches against our Soueraigne I could name vnto you that Englishman who passing not long since between Rotterdam and the Hage and hearing some of those varlets speake il of his Maiestie which hee beeing an EnglishmaÌ„ could not endure hee as it became him did in good manner reprehend them for it but straight-wayes a couple of them drew their knyues vpon him to haue stabbed him and so had they donne had they not bin hild kept back by others there present wee haue a proverb that it is better for some to steal a hors then some to look on What detriments endure wee by Spagniards where do they bynd vs hand and foot and cast vs ouer Indian rockes lyke dogges Where vndo they our trade how empouerish they our countrie where raile they vpon our Soueraigne Are wee in our right wittes I wonder when wee resolue to go to shed our blood for those that suck our blood when wee fight for those at home that kil vs abroad mee thinks purging with Heleborus were fitter now a dayes to bee taken in vse of our countrimeÌ„ then the smoak-drinck of driueling Tobacco Tawney-scarf For Godes loue le ts haue no more of this least you driue mee in a desperate mood to turne Spanish with you and so discredit my self with my friendes that expect mee in Holland Red-scarf Nay Sir you should by your so dooing giue a good ensample for those friends to follow Tawney-scarf I haue serued some yeares alredie in Holland and haue past my woord and promis to some friends of myn there to return back vnto them agayn to the seruice of the States Red-scarf I could then wish that both you and they would resolue to serue them as they oght to bee serued such tricks I meane as might revenge some of the vilanies and wronges they haue offred vs. Tawney-scarf I gesse at your meaning but it concurres not with my resolution you know theare is a precept that willeth to do good for evil Red-scarf That is wel donne where evil is thereby amended but your dooing good where you do it makes evil become woors But let mee now returne to speak somthing of Queen Elizabethes reason to take the Hollanders partes And first I must tel you that Queen Elizabeth did neuer take their partes vpon compassion of their cause in regard of anie wrong which shee knew the King of Spayn to do them for shee could not but know them to be as verie notorious rebelles as euer were anie in the world therefore was her assistence not giuen because shee loued them but because shee hated the King of Spayn and so made vse of them as the instruments of her hate Tawney-scarf Then must there bee cause why shee hated the King of Spayn and hating him shee had reason to favor and foster those that hated him as wel as her self Red-scarf I pray Sir for the instruction of my ignorance tel mee the cause why shee hated him Tawney-scarf The cause I cannot tel you but cause I must imagine there was Red-scarf You can know no iust cause nor anie man els but you say you must imagine there was a cause but this must is not forcecible vnlesse it were a cleere case that neuer anie man were causelesly hated But to tel you the true cause why in deed shee haâ—ed
