Logrono of the fourth of September and by Letters from Roan of the one and thirtieth of August and by Letters from Paris of the Kings Embassadour there wherein he declareth the imprisonment of Francis Drake and other great Nobles of England and how the Queene is in the Field with an Armie and of a certaine Mutinie which was amongst the Queenes Armie with the successe of the said Catholike Armie since they entred in the Groyne till they came on the Coast of England with two Ballets compounded by Christouer Brauo a blind man of Cordowa Printed with licence by Gabriel Ramos Beiarano Printer THe newes of England is confirmed here by a Letter of the Gouernour of Roan Hee writeth hee hath in his power the chiefe Pilot of Captaine Drake and that he knoweth that all the English Armie remained ouerthrowne hauing sunke two and twentie Ships and taken fortie and imprisoned Francis Drake hauing giuen them chase almost as high as Abspurge and slaine many by the sword and likewise saith that there was fo●●d in Captaine Drakes Ship a Peece of Ordnance of fiue and twentie foot long which discharged a Shot of a hundreth weight at once made of purpose with one onely Shot to sinke our Spanish Admirall and it pleased God although shee was somewhat battered yet was shee repaired againe and ouerthrew the English Armie THe English haue lost aboue fortie Ships in one encounter where they could not flye which was in Luxaten a Hauen in Scotland to the which place since the departure of the Spanish Armies from Calleis the English Armie followed and supposing they went to take that Hauen they got before ours to defend the entrance wee seeing them so neere the English Fleet and that they could not retire as they alwaies did when they pleased to the English Hauen they set vpon them so valiantly that they sunke twentie of their Ships and they tooke twentie 〈◊〉 whole and sound and the rest seeing their destruction fled away with great losse of men and their Ships very much battered and with this they say the Spanish Armie tooke the Hauen where they are very well lodged as euery one affirmeth and so the newes is here I pray God giue them good successe Wee vnderstand by the Post come from Calleis that in England it is forbidden vpon paine of death and losse of goods that no bodie doe write newes from thence to any place which confirmeth the newes aboue I Doe not write newes of the Spanish Armie because they are diuers and would gladly write the very truth Now by the newes which runneth from diuers places as Calleis Deepe and Holland and presumptions from England and other places it is holden for certaine that they fought with the English and broken their heads hauing sunke many of their Ships and taken others and the rest which they say were twentie seuen Ships returned very much battered to the Riuer of London which are all those that could escape There goeth with this Post another Post of Iorge Seguin of Calleis which saith that certaine Masters and Mariners of Zeland did affirme to the Gouernours of Calleis Mounsier de Gorden that our Fleet is in a Hauen or Riuer in Scotland called Trifla where they say there may ride two thousand Ships this is that which commonly is currant here BY newes from London the thirtie six of August it is knowne for most certaine from persons of credite that the Queens Admiral Generall was arriued in the Riuer of London with twentie fiue ships onely without his Admirall Ship which was taken by our Admirall Saint Iohn and it is well knowne in England that to hide the losse of their Admirall Ship they say bee put himselfe in a smaller Ship the better to follow our Armie and it is knowne for certaintie that he saued himselfe in a Boat when he lost his Ship That Drake for certaintie is taken or slaine The same is confirmed by the way of Holland by a Pinnace of theirs And from Austerland that the Queene commanded vpon paine of death that no body should speake of her Fleet and that there was great sorrow in those parts of England and that the Queene had in the field thirtie thousand raw Souldiers betwixt Douer and Margate and that the Catholikes vnderstanding that all their Fleet was dispersed moued a certaine Mutinie which forced the Queene to goe her selfe into the Field and for certaine it is knowne that there is not brought into England neither Ship nor Boat of ours more then the Ship of Don Pedro Valdez and that our Fleet was gone into Scotland and arriued in a Hauen called Trapena Euxaten AFter that I had written this here is arriued a Scottishman which saith that all the Spanish Fleet

Irish coast many of their Noblemen and Gentlemen were drowned and diuers slain by the barbarous and wilde Irish. Howbeit there was brought prisoner out of Ireland Don Alonzo de Lucon Colonel of two and thirty bands commonly called a Terza of Naples together with Rodorigo de Lasso and two others of the family of Cordoua who were committed vnto the custody of Sir Horatio Palauicini that Monsieur de Teligny the son of Monsieur de la None who being taken in fight neere Antwerpe was detained prisoner in the Castle of Turney might be ransomed for them by way of exchange To conclude there was no famous nor worthy family in all Spain which in this expedition lost not a son a brother or a kinsman For the perpetuall memory of this matter the Zelanders caused new coine of Siluer and Brasse to be stamped which on the one side contained the armes of Zeland with this inscription GLORY TO GOD ONELY and on the other side the pictures of certaine great ships with these words THE SPANISH FLEET and in the circumference about the ships IT CAME WENT AND WAS. Anno 1588. That is to say the Spanish fleet came went and was vanquished this yeere for which glory be giuen to God onely Likewise they coined another kinde of mony vpon the one side whereof was represented a ship fleeing and a ship sinking on the other side foure men making prayers and giuing thankes vnto God vpon their knees with this sentence Man purposeth God disposeth 1588. Also for the lasting memory of the same matter they haue stamped in Holland diuers such coines according to the custome of the ancient Romans Also other coines were stamped with a Fleet flying with full saile and inscribed Venit Vidit Fugit It came saw fled others with the fired ships and the fleet in confusion the word DVX FOEMINAFACTI While this wonderfull and puissant Nauie was sailing along the English coasts and all men did now plainly see and heare that which before they would not be perswaded of all people thorow out England prostrated themselues with humble prayers and supplications vnto God but especially the outlandish Churches who had greatest cause to feare and against whom by name the Spaniards had threatned most grieuous torments enioyned to their people continuall fastings and supplications that they might turne away Gods wrath and fury now imminent vpon them for their sins knowing right well that prayer was the onely refuge against all enemies calamities and necessities and that it was the onely solace and reliefe for mankinde being visited with affliction and misery Likewise such solemne daies of supplication were obserued throughout the vnited Prouinces Also a while after the Spanish Fleet was departed there was in England by the commandement of her Maiesty and in the vnited Prouinces by the direction of the States a solemne festiuall day publikely appointed wherein all persons were enioyned to resort vnto the Church and there to render thankes and praises vnto God and the Preachers were commanded to exhort the people thereunto The foresaid solemnity was obserued vpon the 19. of Nouember which day was wholly spent in Preaching praying giuing thankes with the accustomed solemnities of Bonfires Singing Ringing and other wonted expressions of publike ioy Likewise the Queenes Maiesty her selfe imitating the ancient Romans rode into London in triumph in regard of her owne and her subiects glorious deliuerance For being attended vpon very solemnly by all the principall estates and officers of her Realme she was carried thorow her said Citie of London in a triumphant chariot and in robes of triumph from her Palace vnto the Cathedrall Church of Saint Paul out of the which the ensignes and colours of the vanquished Spaniards hung displaied And all the Citizens of London in their Liueries stood on either side the street by their seuerall Companies with their Ensignes and Banners and the streets were hanged on both sides with Blew cloath which together with the foresaid Banners yeelded a very stately and gallant prospect Her Maiesty being entered into the Church together with her Clergy and Nobles gaue thankes vnto God and caused a publike Sermon to be preached before her at Pauls Crosse wherein none other argument was handled but that praise honour and glory might be rendered vnto God and that Gods name might be extolled by thanksgiuing And with her own Princely voyce she most Christianly exhorted the people to doe the same whereupon the people with a loud acclamation wished her a most long and happy life to the confusion of her foes The Lord Admirall had a pension assigned for his good seruice This publike ioy was increased by Sir Robert Sidney now Earle of Leicester who returning out of Scotland related to her Maiestie the King of Scots faithfull friendship and loue to her and to the Religion He had beene employed to the said King whiles the Spanish Fleet houered on the coast to gratulate with him in the Queenes name for his alacrity in the common cause and to obtaine his promise of aide if the Spaniards landed in Scotland and to put him in minde how ambitiously the Spaniard sought to swallow in all Britaine vrging the Pope to Excommunicate him so to strip him of Scotland and quit his succession in England to admonish him of the threats of Mendoza and the Popes Nuntio that therefore he should be very wary of the Papists in Scotland He answered conceitedly amongst other speeches that he hoped for no other benefit from the Spaniard then that which Polyphemus had promised Vlysses namely that when the rest were deuoured he should be swallowed last Thus the magnificent huge and mighty fleet of the Spaniards which themselues tearmed in all places inuincible such as sailed not vpon the Ocean Sea many hundreth yeeres before in the yeere 1588. vanished into smoake to the great confusion and discouragement of the authours thereof In regard of which her Maiesties happy successe all her neighbours and friends congratulated with her and many Verses were penned to the honour of her Maiesty by learned men whereof we will here annexe those of Master Beza STrauer at innumer is Hispanus nauibus aequor Regnis iuncturus sceptra Britanna suis.
