to be put to death so as all his raigne death and slaughter never ceased till himselfe was slaine and brought like an hog all bare on an horses backe to his grave in the 3. yeare of his raigne and about the 40. of his age 19. Henry 7 the next living heire of the house of Lancaster having vanquished Richard 3. obtained the Crowne 2485. Aug. 22. maried Elizabeth the heire of the house of Yorke and therby united those two distracted houses Yet was not his raigne without troubles The Crowne being gotten with hazard and much bloud he was maligned by the Dutches of Burgundy who set up first a Lambert then a Perkin Warbeck to disquiet him Warres he had in France Insurrections there were in the North Rebellions in Cornwall besides many grievances which his Subjects complained of He died in the 24. yeare of his raigne and 52. of his age 20. Henry 8. sonne of Henry 7. by a just title came to a 1509. Apr. 22. setled throne He that will read Sir Walter Raleighs preface to his history shall see enough if not too much of the tronbles of this Kings times He ended his reigne and life in the 38. yeare of his raigne and 56. of his age 21. Edward 6. sonne of Henry 8. in his childhood came 1546. Ian. 28. to the crowne yet in his daies the brightnesse of the Gospell shined forth but so as there wanted not clouds of troubles The Kingdome being engaged in warre with France and Scotland the country troubled with insurrections in Norfolke and Devonshire and the Court and Counsell distracted into faction whereby the Kings two uncles the Lord Protector and Lord Admirall came to violent deaths which hastened or hindred not the Kings and that in the 7. yeare of his raigne and 17. of his age 22. Mary eldest daughter to Henry 8. came with much 1553. Iul. 6. difficulty to the Crowne Another Queene was first proclaimed at London But that storme lasted not long for 9 dayes after at London also was Mary proclaimed Queene As for the continuance of her raigne some may remember most have heard and all may read how dangerous and dolefull those smoaky daies were Many hundreds were burnt then for the Gospell sake many more were forced to fly their country and exile themselves Callis that for very many yeares before had appertained to the English was lost which losse is thought to make so dead a wound in her heart as it could never be healed In the last period of Queene Maries daies many imprisoned and adjudged to the fire for the cause aforesaid were released by her departure out of this world in the 6. yeare of her raigne and 43. of her age Though God were pleased to cause the light of his Gospell to appeare in King Edwards daies yet for a surer setling of it he suffers it to be sealed by the bloud of many worthy Martyrs in Queene Maries daies Since which time to the immortall glory of God and the eternall salvation of many thousand soules it hath beene continued among us 63. yeares So Lord let it continue till the comming of thy Sonne unto judgement By this briefe narration of the troubles of former times let any indifferent Reader judge if God have not reserved us to the best times that ever England had both in regard of the Gospell of peace so long enjoyed and also in regard of the peace of the land so long continued The benefit wherof followeth next to be declared §. 96. Of peace and the benefits thereof * * * See §. 88. The last conclusion which as a just consequence I inferre from the evills of warre is this VI. PEace is a good thing Warre and Peace are contrary each to other As many evills arise from warre so many benefits from peace Good therefore it is as in the kind of it so in the effects that arise from it By peace lands are freely tilled orchards gardens vineyards and other like fruitfull places tended all manner of cattell encreased all kind of trading followed inheritances and what els of right appertaineth to men quietly possessed by the true owners thereof children well educated old men well nourished Schooles and Vniversities maintained The Gospell with free liberty preached all Gods ordinances observed good lawes duly executed wrong doers suppressed men respected according to their places and dignities opportunity afforded for exercising such abilities as God bestoweth on any mutuall communion made of such good gifts as God in any kind conferreth on severall persons poore men set to worke and relieved plenty procured meanes for sicknesse and all manner of maladies afforded decent buriall performed and many other like benefits obtained of all which by warre men are very oft spoiled and deprived Peace is the maine end of just and lawfull warre All the benefits * * * § 17. before noted to arise from warre are enjoyed in peace and are therefore attributed to war as effects thereof because by warre peace is procured and secured No marvell then that Christians are so much called upon a a a Rom 12. 18.

After the fore-mentioned emulation yea and enmity betwixt King Philip of Spaine and Queene Elizabeth one Pope after another was much solicited by Spanish and other Papists to excommunicate that pious Prince upon pretence of heresie But till she was made able to stand out against all her enemies God kept away those thunderbolts under Pope An.

Reg. 13. men to intercept Queene Elizabeth and to trouble the Parliament then sitting that so another Queene might be set up instead of Elizabeth But there fell out such mutuall mistrust among the Conspirators as their plots turned to their owne damage 11.
