A19863	A briefe discourse dialoguevvise shevving how false & dangerous their reports are, which affirme, the Spaniards intended inuasion to be, for the reestablishment of the Romish religion; for her Maiesties succors giuen to the Netherlanders, and for Sir Frances Drakes enterprise three yeares past into the VVest Indies.	Daunce, Edward.	1590 (1590)	STC 6290; ESTC S105195	9,599	28

are for matter of religion her Maiesties fauors towards your people and her enterprise into the VVest Indies slanders of so apparant danger the same extenuating the precedent auarice and ambitiō of Spaine meeting with the ill humors of our people that I maruell those feigners should no lesse in their conuenticles lament their practise then Cicero wondered the Aruspices could in deluding the people forbeare laughter beholding one another To which PHILEMON the sunne hath not beheld anie thing more vnsemely then this pretence of iustice cloked with a deepe desire of noueltie those rumors being not onely factious but also false and regarding the time full of perill and danger as you EPOENETVS said he may know if you loke but as far as the emperour Charles the fift when Granuellanus in our prouinces and Philip not long after in this realme sought to make our golden fleece and your Lion a pray for the Egles of Austria Then I. I am not ignorant PHILEMON of either for whilst all places as with bright tropheis of papacie were lightened with the burnt bodies of the people Philip hoised his first saile of ambition which as a skilfull maister he bare so lowe that many fauored his course and wished him the good windes of fortune especially his wife Mary who being perswaded by him it wold greatly aduance her authority were he crowned and made her companion of dignity seriously endeuored not knowing howe much that ceremony would preiudice her succession to effect his purpose To this she was also greatly incited by the clergie who to make sure their particular by that mean cared not to hazard the generall state of the realme But the Lords who by an ancient policie had greater interest in matters of gouernement hauing more cause to regard the reputation of their houses likely to diminish by his neighbourhood then the Prelats their momentanie dignities withstood it as a matter dangerous and not without common perill This purpose being ouerthrowne by their prouidence he taketh occasion by tumults happening about that season to perswade his wife to new matter seeming not only profitable but also necessarie for both alledging that he often departing this realme for the affaires of his own countries could not without danger performe the parts of a louing husband towards her the blockhouses standing which might prohibit his returne and the want of common fauor remaining For greater credit whereof he cited a late act then of the valorous Baron the Lord VVilliam Howard of Effingham high Admiral of England who being sent to conduct him with the nauie brought the kings ship in perill by deliuering some great shot for that he wouldnot as the custome is strike saile by which ceremonie he was to acknowledge the Queenes soueraigntie in these seas I was said PHILEMON at that time in the shipping of our country with the Spanish fleete and know that to be the onely cause why that noble Baron was after remoued from his romth but proceed EPOENETVS This motion said I returning where I left seeming iust was forthwith effected and what lets soeuer to his returne either rased or translated into his seuerall countries vnder colour of furnishing him for the warres of France so that for atchieuing his intention hauing the fauor of his wife and Prelats he wanted litle more then time we being in a manner disarmed to be made absolute to apply the significant posie of the golden fleece PRETIVM NON VILE LABORIS to the order of our George Garter which perhaps being toucht in conscience with the honorable deuice and meaning of our order HON Y SOIT QVI MAL Y PENSE he would haue refused These proceedings were then suspected as tending to disbranch the naturall cions to ingraffe him selfe which he had in nearer sort attempted had he not bene tript by the death of his wife And notwithstanding that he had therby lost many occasions of time and place and that his pray readie to be deuoured was by that meane taken from betweene his teeth he yet desisted not to take occasion by the forehead when and wheresoeuer he met her for which cause and to impresse an opinion in all nations of his right to our countrey he ioyned manie yeares after her Maiesties happie enterance to the Royall seate the title of England with that of his own dominions which could not be with any good meaning or without great preiudice to her Maiestie her heires lawfull successors These things are well knowen to manie yet liuing neither will the Spaniards by colour of the authoritie they had gotten amongst vs deny it as a thing vniust considering that the limitation of tyrants consisteth in things they can not get but if these good bodies should appealing to the fauor of malcontents complaine they are sclandered let vs enter into a scrutiny of times and we shall find them charged with the munition artillerie and other abillements of warre which could not be embezeled to any other end then the increase of their empire But if they denie the hauing of it or that they had it to any such vse I will ioyne with them in issue for both If they had it not let them they running through the store of the realme accompt how it was bestowed For Henrie the eight being one of the victorious kings of that age stil in action with France and Scotland the least of which is able to abate the high thoughts of a proud enemie could not in respect of his conquests be vnfurnished of prouision to withstand the power of so great aduersaries Agayne the time betweene this triumphant king his daughter Mary was in regard of our expectatiō but short in which there was no diminution of any thing within the realme as might appeare as well by the victories of that good king Edward being the hope of Europe as his bettering of the gold and siluer coines But how great her Maiesties charges grew by a new prouision of all thing immediatly after her royall entrie no man is ignorant no not strangers the dukes Memorancie and Cassimer greatly praising vpon their view only of her store in the Tower her carefull and most wise prouidence which they would not haue done had they knowen any part thereof not to haue bene of her Maiesties cost Now the question is to be asked of these temperat persons our warlike furniture being at that time their king maried with her Maiesties sister Mary comparable with any of the greatest Princes of the west part who eloigned the same I must answere for them they being occupied in hastening the fift monarchie euē they who haue vowed to make desolate our country and to murder a most sacred and Christian Princesse The seisure of armour treasure and munition with the rasure of places defensiue vpon conditions of peace is an old stratageme and vsed by the Turke in the times of his frēdship with them whō he mindeth to subdue which if any would excuse in the Spaniard
