A Lanterne-light for loyall Subiects Or A terrour for Traytours Wherein may be seene the odiousnesse of Treason the deserued ende of Traytours and the wonderfull preseruation of anoynted Princes A matter rightly agreeing with this time of danger where wicked persons haue desired our publike sorrow and the ruine of this Realme of England Feare God Be true to thy Prince and obey the Lawes Printed at London by Simon Stafford dwelling in Hosier lane neere Smithfield 1603. â§ To the right Honorable the Lord Thomas Howard Earle of Suffolke Baron of Walden Lord Chamberlaine of the Kings houshold Knight of the Noble order of the Garter and one of his Maiesties most Honorable priuy Councell health happinesse and prosperity I Haue aduentured Right Honourable Lord vnder your Noble protection to publish to the world a poore testimony of my loyalty to my Prince and Countrey A little Pamphlet it is but a sweete comfort and a sound counsell for good Subiects describing many fayre examples of Traytours foule ends shewing that the reward of Treason is destruction and after death lasting infamy The matter agreeing with the condition of this troublesome time hath made mee the bolder to present it to your Honourable censure Acceptance I doe not doubt for no good subiect can mislike it For here in the name of Experience I aduise all men whose heads clyme aboue the heyght of their present conditions to make loyall and honest actions the Ladder of their aduauncement which will commend them with a beloued life or an honorable death when Treason is the Hatchet that seuereth life and ioyneth Infamy vnto death The Lord be with your Honour in all your affayres for whose health and Honorable prosperity the good subiects of England continually pray At your Honours commaundement in all humble duty Richard Johnson A Lanterne-light for loyall Subiects OR A terrour for Traytours GOD placeth Kings in their Kingdoms and he alone will haue the dissoluing of them If Princes be good let vs be thankfull to God for them if they be tyrannous let vs looke into our sinnes for God sendeth Tyrants to punish the sinnes of the wicked Therefore whether Princes be good or bad let subiects be obedient lest for their disobedience God take away the good and double the tyrannie of the bad Then I wonder why men are so bewitched with the inticements of the Deuill to lay violent hands vpon the Lords Anoynted knowing that the reward of such enterprises is shame and confusion Wherefore let all men consider this that God by sundrie examples preserueth the innocent from the violent hands of the wicked euen in the pride and greatest hope of their purposes Haman erected a gallows for Mardocheus the Iew and he and his ten sonnes suffred therevpon The false Iudges had got sentence of death against chaste Susanna but by diuine prouidence the stones dashed out their owne braines But where the practise tendeth to the murther of Anoynted Princes the odiousnes thereof so highly offendeth the Maiesty of God as he hath defended euen notable Tyrants from the murthering swords of Traytours As for example Commodus was a wicked Emperour and to kill him the Traitor Quintianus wayted at his chamber dore his dagger was ready drawne his heart was resolute and his hand was striking the stroke at what time the Traytor cryed This the Senate sendeth thee By which fore-warning Quintianus was stayd and the Emperour escaped vnhurt If God plucked wit and prudence from Traytors that purposed to kill such notable Tyrants as this was it is constantly to bee beleeued that with the Shield of his strength he wil defend righteous Princes amongst whom our most gracious King is crowned with the soueraigne renowne of vertue in which dignity the King of Kings long continue his Maiestie The murther of a Prince is so odious as euen nature it selfe crieth out against it King Croesus had a young sonne that from his birth was dumbeâ— and yet when one of King Cyrus soldiers taking him for a common person was ready to kil him the Infant cryed out O kill him not for he is the King my father Also I haue read of a stranger matter namely of a Kings sonne that brake forth of his mothers wombe to giue his father warning of his enemies presently after his birth cryed out I am borne in a wofull houre to be the messenger of no better tidings then that my father is in present danger so lose both his life and kingdome Which being spoken the Infant presently dyed We hereby perceiue how the person of an anoynted Prince is so sacred as nature maketh a passage for sucking babes and dumbe persons to deliuer the same from danger and withall the Traytor is so open to destruction as the Preacher saith to the Traytour A Bird of the ayre shall bewray thy voyce and with her feathers shall discouer thy words Korah Dathan and Abiram they and all that they had went downe quicke into hell because of their rebellion And certainly whosoeuer marketh the sequel of treason shall find a hundred examples to one to proue the end of Traytors to be most miserable By Statute law it is petty treason for a seruant to murther his master being but a subiect How detestable treason is it then for a sworne seruant to lay violent hands on his anoynted Prince The offence being in the extremest degree of sinnes the punishment ought to be according to the seuerest censure of iustice Euery mans house well gouerned resembleth a Common wealth wherein seruants ought to liue in the awe and subiection of subiects But the wicked policy of men hath alwayes bene such as where open power was too weake ambition enuy and money allured the seruants of Emperours Kings and men of all estates to lay violent hands on their masters and to betray them to death Iudas one of the Apostles betrayed our Sauiour Iesus into the hands of the Iewes King Alexander was poysoned by his Physicion The death of the Emperour Commodus was compassed by the practise of his owne sister Many haue had their bane by their wiues some by their sonnes but innumerable haue beene destroyed by the treason of their seruants But let all good subiects to their comfort and Traytors to their confusion know that the wicked dig a pit and fall therein themselues The Iewes had Saint Paul in prison where forty of them vowed that they would neither eate nor drinke vntil they had slayne him but God in a due time defended him The Angell of the Lord led Peter forth of prison The Angell of the Lord defended Sidrac Misac and Abednago in the burning fire The Angell of the Lord stopped the Lions mouthes that should haue deuoured Daniel And there is no doubt but the good Angell of the Lord with a drawne sword will defend our Soueraigne Lord King Iames from all his enemies A comfortable saying it is that this holy Angell of the Lord with a drawne sword though not

the starres or with a knock of their head to leuell a mountaine that seeke to displace a beloued Prince But now to wade into the depth of our subiect ambition and desire of dignity is the welspring of rebellion and treason they that will flye without wings are like to fall before they are wise Hee that is borne to bee a seruant in no wise ought to looke for double attendance Dignity is like a vane on a high Tower which is subiect to the chaunce of fortune as the other is to the chaunce of the wind And who so will sit surely vpon the seat of prosperity must like the Snayle get experience with slow climing lest in taking a swifter course like vnto a Bird he be remoued with the least stone that is throwne I meane with the least disgrace of fortune If mens minds grow bigger then their naturall conditions there are many examples of vertue to imitate which haue raised sundry men from the cart to the highest degree of honour when otherwise in clyming by treason many honorable Estates dye dishonorably and to their posterity leaue no better Inheritance then Infamy Therefore let all ambitious minded men know that destruction followeth presumption and the clyming of pride will haue a fall And now I thinke it not amisse to discourse vnto you the speaches of an English Traytour which hee spoke at his execution within these few yeres and his words were these Oh woe is me vnhappy man I may now rightly compare my estate to the state of Adam who at first was placed in Paradise and there enioyed all the pleasures of the earth and was onely forbidden to eate of the fruite of one tree but for his transgression he not onely procured misery vpon his owne head but vpon the heads of all his posterity So quoth he I that wanted nothing but had health wealth and friends and so might long haue liued if I could haue forborne to haue bin vntrue to my Prince but alas for my offence I haue brought my selfe vnto this misery by which my good mother my louing wife my foure brethren and sixe sisters yea and our whole house neuer before attaynted is infamed and our posterity for euer like to be vndone By his ouerthrow all men are warned to make choyce of good company for the old Prouerbe is verified Euill company corrupts good maners And truly the injury he hath done to his vvhole posterity may be a fearefull example to feare men from treason especially the Nobility and better sort of Gentlemen for they thereby not onely lose their liues and liuings but the honour of their houses are corrupted Contrarivvise for the vertue and dutifull seruice of one man a number of his posterity receiue both honour and many other worldly blessings Hereby we may compare a Traytors offence to Adams fault and wee may liken the sacred Maiesty of our renowmed King to the pleasant and glorious fruit of the tree of life so precious in Gods eyes as he forbade Adam and all the seed of Adam to lay violent hands vpon But now to returne againe to the bad successe of Traytors in their attempts consider yet these fewe examples that hapned in Queene Elizabeths dayes First consider we how Pius quintus set Doctor Mâ—rtâ—â— on worke being an English Fugitiue to rayse a commotion in the North parts where the Earle of Westmerland and other great personages entred into open rebellion yet the very sound of her Maiesties power dismayed them and happy was he that could run fastest away The principals fled but escaped not the iustice due vnto Traytors and the Earle of Westmerland himselfe euer after liued in pouerty and for a bare allowance was subiect to the proud controlement of euery rascall Spanyard Felton to draw her Maiesties subiects from dutifull obedience set vp the Popes Bull vpon the Bishop of Londons gate but God be praysed the hornes that should haue gored the innocent turned into a halter to hang the Traytor Felton The Pope expecting no good successe by open force then armed his practises with Machiauils policies Mader Barlow were made Instruments to murther some principal Magistrates but their confusion was speedy and their purpose frustrate The peace of England was troubled with the conspiracy of Throgâ—â—rton Appleyard Brooke and others but they had no better successe then in helping theÌ„selues to the gallowâ— Doctor Story may be an example of Gods iustice herein the Earle of Desmond Doctour Saunders Campion the foureteene Traytors and many others may be sufficient witnesses of the miserable ends of Traytors Moreouer we may read in King Edward the sixt his time of a generall rebellioÌ„ that was almost throughout England yet al had bad successe The Papists tempted the commons to rebellion with perswasions to throw downe inclosure and for themselues foysted in to haue their olde Religion againe The banishment of strangers hath bin made the cause of many commotions Also the Northerne men had but a bad proofe of two rebellions when they had the Crosse and Banner of fiue wounds borne before them And to conclude thus you may see the iust end and due desert of all Traytors Therefore my counsell is which I speake from the true zeale of my heart that my louing brethren the subiects of England open not their eares to the subtill perswasions of Papists lest rebellion enter into their heaâ—ts so vengeance light vpon their whole bodies If this counsell were surely grafted in all mens hearts then no doubt but the rotten braunches of rebellion would soone be cut off and vnity surely placed in England to the great comfort of our Soueraign Liege King Iames whom the Lord of Hostes preserue â—nd keepe and all that wish him well
