Kings brest doth illuminate With iudgement most profound the knot t' unty Like Oedipus of that oenigma high For thus the Lord in his all-guiding grace Ordain'd that one of that most traiterous race Did meet the Lord Mounteagles serving-man Ten dayes before the Parliament began Who about seven a clock at night was sent Upon some errand And as thus he went Crossing the street a fellow to him came A man to him unknown by face or name Of personage tall making a sodain stand Strait put the Letter in the Servants hand Earnestly pray'd him with all speciall heed To give it into his Lords hands with speed The foot-man home unto his Lord did hie And gave the Letter to him instantly And told him how it was unto him brought Which soon he opened found the hand but naught No name therto subscrib'd without a date To read it therfore he did properate But hardly could wherfore a gentleman He cald to help him read which thus began THE LETTER MY Lord out of the love I beare to some of your Friends I have care of your preservation Therefore I would advise you as you tender your life to devise some excuse to shift-off your attendance at this Parliament For God and man have concurred to punish the wickednesse of this time and thinke not sleightly of this advertisement but retire your self into your country where you may expect the event in safety For though there be no appearance of any stir yet I say they shall receive a terrible blow this Parliament and yet they shall not see who hurts them This counsell is not to be contemned because it may doe you good and can doe you no harme for the danger is past so soon as you have burnt the LETTER And I hope GOD will give you the grace to make use of it to whose holy Protection I leave you These strange contents his mind did discontent In 's heart a thousand thoughts both came and went What fact what friend what this oenigma told What mystick-danger these words might infold Or whither 't were some addle idle-brain That this had writ to cause him thence refrain If it should prove a fond fantastick-thing To stir therin disgrace to him would bring But if it should include some dire event Unto his Person or the Parliament To keep it close might make him prove disloyall He 's loath and yet desires to ma●e a tryall Wherfore at last as was fore-specifi'de Gods sacred Angell to him swiftly hi'de And in his anxious thoughts infus'd sweet grace Willing him this occasion to imbrace And kindled in his heart a zealous flame Not to conceale but to reveale the same THe gallant EAGLE soaring-up on high Beares in his beake Treasons discovery MOUNT noble EAGLE with thy happy Prey And thy rich Prize unto thy Prince convey THrice noble Morley saies this Angell bright Who art so honour'd in thy makers sight That thou must be the man shall first disclose The Kings and countries bitter threatned woes By that usurping whorish Beast of Rome Who Albions I stand hopes now to consume O stand not doubting pond'ring in thy thought Whither this be a truth or thing of nought A truth a happy-truth it does import Of woe and wrack to Country and to Court If thou it hide a world of woes ensue If thou reveale it honour be thy due And though this Letter seemeth most obscure Like a darke-riddle yet will I procure A Josephs or a Daniels ingeny T' untwine the twist of its obscurity Since in thy hands then lies both weale and wo Haste haste with speed in Court thy Letter show This happy motion makes all doubt depart From this right noble Lord Mounteagles heart Who now resolves the businesse to display To search the truth to Court to haste away And though it were both dirty dark and late Yet he the time will not procrastinate But like a noble-Eagle with a prey A princely prey indeed he sears away He is not quiet with this prize thus catcht Untill he have his high-affairs dispatcht Heavens ayd imploring for a blissefull end To this most anxious act he did intend And thus with loyall-heart away he goes To Court this waighty busines to disclose Resolv'd therto what ever should betide And to the Earle of Salisbury's lodging hi'de To this Vlisses he the LETTER shows He th'other counsell hence thick doubting grows Among them all they in most doubtfull wise Possesse the King therwith and so advise Each-one propounds his judgement severally As in a case of great anxiety One thinks it was some idle vain conceit Others do judge it did some danger threat Another is quite of another-mind None could the right-way of this Lab'rinth finde Not one of them could dive into its ground None could this mystick-riddle right expound At last our prudent-King Apollo's sonne Fair Englands Joseph thus to them begun Weighing each circumstance with deep discretion Well sirs our iudgements must take more impression This is no triviall work or fantasie But must be sifted with great scrutiny I well remember and you all do know That little-smoke being at first kept low Doth mighty flames though hid most fiercely work And in this grasse some Serpent foule doth lurk Or else I am deceiv'd for to my mind Now comes that * old-rule touching Romists blind Whose genius guided by Erynnis vile Never pull-down the Flag of wrath and guile But what with threats poisons deceit contentions They practise still t' effect their foule inventions Plodding and plotting as a most just thing By Jesuites-principles to kill their King No doubt but heer 's some danger fabricated Some second Troian-horse is machinated Some bloody Jesuite with some traiterous train Who would his hands in our dear heart-blood stain Some monstrous machination credit me Is in this LETTER couched privily T is not the froth of any brittle-brain But doubtlesse does some treachery contain In that his friend he counsels to forbear From comming thither so to voyd the feare Yea farther he great danger menaceth A sodain terrible fierce stroake of death Which with great wonder like a thunder-clap Should on their foes precipitately hap Unlesse by Gun-pouder this thing must be Nought els so likely therto I can see And it may be that they 'll abuse that-art To our great ruine and ensuing-smart Therfore most loyall Sirs I much desire That speedy course be taken to enquire What neighbours and what houses neer do stand To our great Capitoll what Cellars and What arched-vaults there are under the ground Let secret search be made the truth out-found Then strait Lord Chamberlain with others moe Made carefull inquisition for to know What houses who them held and of each thing In all particulars informe the King Percy saith he dwels there and hath a vault With wood and charcoale plentifully fraught Hence instantly greater suspect did rise And therupon S. THOMAS KNEVET wise Was ordered to search-out
