desperat endes of other euen at the place of execution of the filthilie polluted bodies through Frēch diseases of other traitors all which do cleerelie show into what vile mindes God doth deliuer them vp in his iustice that will seeke to plucke them downe whom he doth aduaūce or to aduaūce that he would haue destroied But I onlie do wish were obserued the vtter detestation generally in all sortes of subiectes raised by the verie finger of Gods holie spirit against all Popish traitors from time to time T. Shew that one thing Z. It is easilie done The outward signes and showes of exceeding ioye at the verie discouerie of treasons and apprehension of traitors the outcries which they haue made the speeches of the vulgar people vnto the traitors in the open streets after their arraignmēt declare the peoples minde that so famous Act of association in loialtie and faithfulnes towardes their prince and Countrie by so many thousandes entered-into most willinglie yet altogether vnwittinglie to her maiestie til à great number of handes with manie obligations were showen vnto hir declare the mindes of the greatest the diuers and sundrie Statutes enacted but speciallie that Parliament in the 28. yeare of hir Highnes raigne and the importunate suite of both houses by the mouthes of most principal persons for the putting of them to death whom this Realme neither could nor might any longer indure declare both à secret ioy and delight they haue in hir maiestie as in à iewell of inestimable valure euen as in the Diamond of all Christendome and à common hatred in al mens hartes against them whomsoeuer that shal rise vp to th' ouerthrow either of her person or of this gouernment T. And this also is à verie subscription euē of God himselfe vnto that Religion for the propagation wherof hir Maiestie with à most resolute minde hath opposed hir person to all manner of perilles and dangers what-soeuer Z. Shee knoweth and hath confessed also that he for whose sake onely shee doth all that shee doth for power can and of his endles mercie will defend hir stil. And all good subiects say thereto Amen Chap. 9. 1 Of Gods wonderful protecting hir Maiestie from forraine enemies 2. And of the vaine inuading of Ireland in the yeare 1580 and intended inuasion of this land from time to time TIMOTHIE If euer Prince had any sensible experience of Gods protection it is hir Maiestie and if euer people by outward signes were certified that the Pope is verie antichrist euen wee of this age now in England may palpablie perceaue the same ZELOTES And yet are there mo thinges of great moment to confirme vs in this truth then hetherto wee haue mentioned T. I doubt not of that but what is the speciall thing that you haue obserued Z. It is the miraculous praeseruation of her sacred person gouernment from the dangerous attemptes of forraine papistes promooters of Antichristes kingdome T. I haue heard indeede that among our English papistes of note and place it hath bin agreed-vpon that the state of all Christendome hath stood vpon the stoute assailing of England Z. Vpon such à conclusion it is well knowen that long agone the Duke of Alua in Flanders by Doctor Storie of late yeares the duke of Guise the Frēch Haman in France by TT Morgan and Throckmorton King Philip in Spaine by Sir Frācis Englesield the pope of Rome by doctor Sanders and Allen the new Cardinall of England and others daily were solicited importunatelie vrged to make an inuasion vpon her Maiesties Dominions T. But what of that Z. Hereof two thinges haue insued one wherof was an inuasion made th' other an inuasion intended T. What inuasion hetherto at anie time was yet made Z. Th' inuasion was vpō Ireland in the yeare of our Lord 1580. by à companie of soldiers sent into those partes by the commaundement of the Pope and K. of Spaine and there most proudlie vaunting themselues vnder the Pope his banner displaide T. Alas they were but an hand-ful in comparison though their malice was neuer so deadly yet could they do no great hurt their power was so small Z. That they did none hurt impute it vnto the mercie of our God to his Church-ward But much hurt they might haue done had either they not forsaken them who came forth as assisstantes with them or they come vnto them which were verie manie euen the Irish rebels or they not deceaued them that promised them aide namelie the Pope with à new supplie of Soldiers out of Italy the earle of Desmōd with his route of rebels or they anie way bin blessed of God being for nūber almost as manie as their opponentes and much stronger in regard of the vantage of place they being entrenched stronglie in à fort and their enimies abroad in the open field Besides the name of à band of men arriued and armed on all sides especially with auctoritie from the Pope and King of Spaine is à great imboldning of the wicked that are wauering to reuolt T. But they were no soner come almost on land and had fortified themselues but they were euen all of them either hanged killed or taken prisoners Z. So let them perish ô most righteous God which band thēselues against thy Christ and his Church T. Thus God showeth himselfe still to bee for hir Maiestie and taketh hir enimies for his owne Z. You will say so when wee haue throughlie displaied the inuasion intended T. What haue you to say thereof Z. Manie thinges but for breuitie methode sake I will reduce them all vnto that which concerneth th' enimies their ouerthrow and our selues and our prosperous successe T. What is to be noted touching our enemies Z. First their long and carefull praeparation manie yeares and their wonderfull armies aswel for lād as sea in the last and famous and much expected yeare 88 thē the excessiue pride of th' aduersaries and the iust accompt they made to conquer and subdue vs all and last of al the miraculous defeating of al their wicked purposes and the most famous victorye giuen of God vnto vs his weake seruants ouer his our enimies Chap. 10. 1 Of the long praeparation to inuade this land 2. of the hideous Armies and Armado for the same purpose 3. and of the causes and endes of the same TIMOTHIE Speake nowe more fullie that which in à word you haue vttered ZELOTES Touching the praeparation to inuade this lande marke first of al the diuers thinges that from time to time for the harting or hardning rather of rebellious people haue bin bruted of the same as that the realme for certeintie should be inuaded sometime by 20000. sometime by 40000 men sometime vnder the conduct of one Prestal an Englishmā somtime of strāgers as by the duke of Alua otherwhiles by Don Iohn of Austrich nowe by the
