A02796	A watch-word to all religious, and true hearted English-men. By Sir Francis Hastings, knight	Hastings, Francis, Sir, d. 1610.	1598 (1598)	STC 12927; ESTC S118429	32,499	130

England by right of birth by right of inheritance and by right of succession and therefore by the law of Nature and Nations there was obedience and loyaltie due vnto her from him But he was so bewitched with the Popes primacie and supreme authoritie ouer kings and kingdoms as he thought the Pope might depose when hee would and dispose Crownes and kingdomes vpon whom he would as if he had quite forgotten himselfe to be an English man Whence this priuiledge ouer kings and kingdoms should come vnto this proude Priest of Rome I cannot finde vnlesse he fetcheth it from that spirit that brought our Sauiour Christ vnto the top of an high mountaine shewing him all the kingdomes of the world and the glorie of them and sayd All these will I giue thee if thou wilt fall downe and worship mee hauing as much authoritie to dispose of them as Popes haue to depose Princes But you see what was committed and commaunded to this doting Doctor Morton by the Pope and how faithfully Morton performed his faithles errand to the preiudice of his Prince and danger of his Countrie I wish with all my heart the two Earles had been more wise than to be misled by so wicked a messenger and more loyall than to bee miscarried into rebellion by so treasonable a message Notwithstanding they so embraced the messenger and so farre followed the direction of the message that they fell into flat rebellion and marched vnder the ensigne of trayterous subiects for which the one receiued his condigne punishment and the other escaped by flying remaining a fugitiue from his Queene and countrie and not daring to shew his face in his owne natiue soyle for that hee had disloyally rebelled against the one and vnnaturally sought the destruction of the other I finde some blushing in some of this popish crew For a Romish discourser in a booke published and printed against the execution of Justice in England for maintenance of publike peace seemeth to wish that Saunders and Bristow which both do defend and maintain y e Popes Bull against Queene Elizabeth to bee lawfull and iust had spared to speake so much in defence thereof And yet he doubteth not to affirme that these two learned men of great zeale and excellencie had their speciall reasons to doe so which he will neither defend nor reproue He further laboureth to smooth ouer this fault of theirs by a kinde of retractation in both the one leauing this out of his booke in his second edition and the other by suppressing to his liues end A very learned booke made in defence of Pius Quintus his sentence against her Maiestie Marke the Epitheton he giueth to it For he calleth it a very learned booke so as neither his reproofe nor their retracting doth condemne the matter which is the maine poynt but some other reasons did mooue a moderation in them and all the rest of our nation to vse his owne wordes which was neither their condemning the seditious Bull nor their approuing of her Maiesties right to the royall seate she sate in which the Bull sought to impeach both amongst forrainers and home subiects The ground and cause of the moderation spoken of by this Popish politike discourser appeareth by the suite made by Campion and Parsons vnto Gregory the 13. then Pope wherein they desired that this Bull of excommunication might not reach to touch the Catholikes for performing obediēce to her Maiestie which was graunted to them and the very wordes of the dispensatiō are these Where in the Bull of Pius Quintus all her subiects are commaunded not to obey her and she being excommunicated and deposed all that doe obey her are likewise innodate and accursed which point is perilous to the Catholikes For if they obey her they are thē in the Popes curse and if they disobey they are in the Queenes daunger therefore the present Pope to relieue them hath altered that part of the Bull and dispensed with them to obey and serue her without perill of excommunication which dispensation is to endure but till that it please the Pope otherwise to determine And these good fathers so called by this popish discourser are iustified commended and thought worthie of great thankes both of the Queene and countrie and yet you see that euen in this dispensation as well as in the Bull our Soueraigne is cōtinued by this Pope excommunicated and cursed as farre as the hand of such a cursed creature can reach and so are all her true hearted subiects But by this they doe discouer their grosse cunning This discourser would faine perswade that this was done for the Queenes good both for the safetie of her person and quiet of her countrie Notwithstanding reuerend father Saunders could after this bee the Popes Legate to incite and comfort Irish subiects to rebell against her Maiestie where if the mightie God had not giuen a couragious heart and a strong hand to that most vertuous and valiant gentleman the noble Lord Arthur Gray then her Highnes Deputie in that place Saunders perswasion had made a strong partie and Spaniards had setled too strong a footing for vs to recouer in haste Further to discouer the treacherous hearts of all these confederates the conspiracie of Babington Barnewell Titchborne and the rest iumping together in one minde and combining together to performe one bloodie action which was to lay violent hands vpon Gods annoynted whence came it but from Rome and Rhemes following the impious rules of Pius Quintus in his cursed Bull Besides this who set Parry on worke to come hither with an impudent and shameles face and here to court it to bee one of the high Court of parliament and to intrude himselfe into the houses and to the tables of her Maiesties chiefest Counsellors yea very often to her Maiesties owne presence and too often too neere with allowance and liking hauing with her Highnes large discourses and long conferences but that fisher of Rome who fisheth not for mens soules as Peter did to winne them to God but after kingdomes and segniories that they may be tributarie to him and that hee may haue authoritie to dispose of them at his pleasure For from this Parry came reconciled and forsaking his obedience to his rightfull Soueraigne became subiect to him and frō those parts he came ouer with this bloodie purpose to kill our dread Queene To assure this he gaue his word to sundrie to vndertake it he receiued the Sacrament to doe it and he confirmed his bloodie promise with his hand in a letter sent to Rome desiring therein his holines allowance for the doing of this vnholy act and crauing full remission for all his sinnes which was performed to him by this holie Vicars commandement in a letter sent to him from a Cardinall in Rome wherein his purpose was sayd to be honorable the fact meritorious before God and kinde requitals are promised to him for vndertaking the matter and for his care had
