❧ An inuectyue agaynst Treason ¶ Remember well o mortall man to whom god geueth reason How he truly most ryghtfully doth alwayes punyshe treason COnsyderyng oft the state of man and of this mort all lyfe which is but short and very ful of mutabylyte I called to remembraunce the hateful war and stryle Which hath ben don within this realme thrugh gret iniquite In clymyng to achyue the crowne reyal dingnyte Of this kyngdome now called England but somtyme greate bretain And howe by false and ranke craycours the kynges they haue ben slayne What moued the Duke of Glocester Edwarde the fourthes brother Of his two natural Neuewes by lyneall dissent Sekyng of them distruction and also of the queene their mother But that he the ryghtfull rayne of them he falsely myght preuent Styll workynge tyl he had brought to passe his false and yll encent by murtherynge the innocentes that he him selfe myght raygne Yet lyke a noughty false traytour at Boseworth was he slayne He neuer rested tyll he had made away his owne naturall brother George the good duke of clarence that noble prince truly Causyng the kynge to graunt therto for it wolde be none other For which wycked fact sone afterwarde the kynge was ryght sory That in a but of Malmesey the man was forst to dye Within the towre aswel was knowen the story is ryght playne Yet at the last this ranke traytour at bose worth was he slayne ¶ He ekesle we with a short dagger that mylde Henry the sext Remaynynge in the towre vntyl his lyfe he did there end That he to were the crowne therby myght surely be the next Thus to murther and false treason he dyd him selfe extende Vntyll suche tyme most ryghtfully god brought him to his ende Leuyng hym in tyranny no lenger for to raygne But at the last for his desartes at Boseworth was he slayne Lyke treasone to our last Henry was wrought by haynous spyghe By olde Hemson and by Dudley as traytours most vntrue At Rychemond was their full entent to haue distroyd him quyght That their malicious purpose myght there forthwith ensue But god out of this present lyfe awaye them streyght he drue Takyng their heades from their bodyes which thyng is most certayne So not vnlyke to false traytours they both were iustly slayne Yet many treasons mo were done agaynst this noble kynge By dyuers men of wyckednes as is most euydent But god alwayes of his goodnes reueled their dowynge So that theyr euyl deuysed thynges he euer dyd preuent That no myscheuous traytour could obtayne his owne entent But al theyr crafty false treasons which deuelyshely they wrought Were ryght sone serched out truly and ryght sone brought to nought But out alas the noughty sede of traytours hath increased And spronge vp very hastely nowe in his sonnes dayes Edwarde the syxt forsoth I meane whom god hath now displaced Which sought and mynded goddes glory entendyng vertuous wayes With him and his two vncles deare they made dyuers assayes Vntyll such tyme as they cought them in theyr most crafty trayne And so workyng most wyckedly the ryghteous haue they slayne At last they dyd attempt agaynst theyr lyege Lady and Queene Mary by the grace of god of Englande and of Fraunce And also ryght heyre of Irelande most comly to be sene Whom the myghty lorde preserue from all hurt and myschaunce For she to ioyful godlynes ledeth the parfect daunce Whom god at her great nede doth helpe workynge nothyng in vayyne Subdueth to her her enemies al which wrought with dredful crayne When they forth went lyke men they were most fearefull to beholde Of force and eke of pusaunt power they semed very stronge In theyr attemptes also they were both fearse and wonders bolde If god wolde haue ben helper to such as stryueth in the wronge But at the last he helped vs though we thought it ryght longe The Nobles here proclaymed her queene in voydyng of all blame Wherfore prayse we the lorde aboue and mangnyfie his name Which thyng was done the .xix. day of this moneth of Iuly The yere of God .xv. hundred fyfty addynge thre In the Cytie of glad London proclaymed most ioyfully Where cappes and syluer plenteously about the stretes dyd slye The greatest ioy and most gladnes that in this realme myght be The trumpetres blewe vp all on hye our Maries royall fame Let vs therfore styll gloryfy and prayse his holy name The nobles all consented than together with one accorde To go to Paules churche euery man to gyue thankes vnto the lorde Wheras they harde a songe of praise as custome it hath bene To rendre thankes to god alwayes for the victorie of our queene Suche there was made in euery strete as no man can expresse In settyng forth wyne and plentie of meate and fyers of much gladnes Such myrth was made in euery place as the lyke was neuer seene That god had shewed on vs his grace in geuyng a ryghtful queene And where as he went forth full glad as prince both stout and bolde He came a traytourin full sad with hart that myght be colde The same whom al before dyd feare and were in most subiection The people wolde in peeces teare yf they myght haue election The same for whom before they prayde reuyled was and curste And he that longe the swynge hath swayde was now most vyle worst We se therfore the ouerthrowe of al theyr wicked wayes Howe wicked might is brought furlowe to gods great Laude prayse God saue the Queene ꝙ T.
