A01405	The true and vvonderfull history of Perkin VVarbeck, proclaiming himselfe Richard the fourth	Gainsford, Thomas, d. 1624?	1618 (1618)	STC 11525; ESTC S102839	82,337	124

when a second reply brought him to the sight of fairer particulars and that he saw the smoake though it was but a smother came from some fire he quickly recollected his spirits and with these verses of Euripides set himselfe downe at the table of preuention and reposednesse Ex amicis autem alios quidem non certos video amicos Qui vero sunt rectÃ¨ impotentÃ¨s sunt vt iuuent Talis res est hominibus ipsa infoelicitas QuaÌ„ nullus vnquam quicunque vel mediocriter amicus mini Assequatur amicorum examen certissimum The same night vpon better consideration my Lord Chamberlaine was restrained from his liberty within the quadrant Tower and confined to his owne Chamber for a season but when the crime was openly prooued and the Councell had as it were with a charming hand of Hecate turned his inside outward and found all his excuses to consist in distinctions and his reasons of defence manifest astipulations of the matter he grew out of all patience and knew not what to say or to doe For one way like an Noble Prince commiserating his subiects he feared lest his brother Lord Thomas Stanley the life of his first roialty as a man should say take it grieuously Another way he misdoubted lest in remitting the fault some other might abuse his lenity and mercy and be the bolder to runne forward in the dangerous courses of further treasons At last by the aduise of his Councell and generall vouge of the Court seuerity considering the perill of those daies tooke place and mercy was put backe so that after a solemne arraignment he had iudgement to dye and accordingly was brought on the 16. of February to Tower-hill and had his head struck off The principall point of his enditement consisted in this that Sir William Stanley sware and affirmed that he would neuer fight nor beare Armor against the yong man Peter Warbeck if he knew of a truth that he was the indubitate sonne of Edward the fourth whereupon arose a coniecturall proofe that he bare no good will to King Henry Again the principall motiue of his distasting and murmuring at the King was for being denied the Earledome of Chester when his brother Lord Thomas was inuested with the sword of Derby yet the King besides many rewards other great offices made him his chiefe Chamberlaine what should I say it should seem ambition had blinded his eies peruerted his iudgement For he still thought on the benefits which the King receiued from the loue and seruice of his family neuer remembring the compensation and gratuities returned back againe to him selfe supposing that his vessell of oile should still be filled to the brims or else he harped on a Machiuilian position thankfulnesse is a burthen but reuenge is sweete and reckned as gaine But it should seeme that in possessing King Richards treasure at the conquest of Bosworth field which King Henry franckly bestowed vpon him and the command ouer the people in the Country he grew proud and elated and so vilepended the King or from a continual melancholy reuerberating mislike and hate vpon his staggering conceits he more and more ouer burthened his heart with rage and despight which as you haue heard vnpurged vented out those words of disloialtie to the losse of his life or in a word according to that of our old Tragedian Animorum Iupiter vindex est minis superborum the searcher of heartâ— was weary of his tumors and ingratitude and so tooke the Kings cause in hand and vpon good inforcement thrust him into the house of destruction Otherwise he could not choose but remember how not twentie yeare before the Law had interpreted the profuse and lauish speeches of a Grocer named Waker dwelling at the signe of the Crowne in Cheapside who bad his sonne learne apace and he would make him heire of the Crowne meaning his house he dwelt in for which he was adiudged to die nor forget the Story of Burdet the Esquier within whose Parke King Edward hunting a white tame Hart was kild by chance which he had brought vp by hand which when Burdet heard of he wished the hornes in his belly that had moued the king to come first thither for which he was drawne hanged and quartered Thus you see there is no iesting with Princes nor distasting them in troublesome times nor presuming in such cases on their clemency For our Ouid tels vs Non ideo debet pelago se credere si qua audet in exiguo ludere cimba lacu After this many rumors and libels yea defamatory speeches both concerning the landing of the new Duke of Yorke proclaimed all ready in Ireland Richard the fourth and the Kings present feare and proceedings were spread abroad which compelled as strange prohibitions yea punishments and reuenges according to the example of that iudgement that hanged Collingbroke for a rime against the vsurper The Rat the Cat and Louel the Dog Rules all England vnder a Hog so that he was farther enforced to haue many politike searches through the whole Realme for such offenders and as many strong Guards and Watches for the defence of the whole Kingdome by which when he perceiued the care vigilancie and good will of the Subiect he entertained a greater fulnesse of contentment and shewed a better alacrity of spirit then his former griefes would remit Then he aduanced Giles Lord Dawbuy a man of wisedome experience and fidelitie to be the Chamberlaine of his house and haue the Guard of his person Afterwards he tooke order with the Citie and Merchants of the same and had theiâ— faithfull Oath and protestation to looke to it and all the places of their traffique abroad concerning such things as might be offensiue and preiudiciall to the Kingdome The next thing hee tooke care for was the manning of the Cinqueports and fortifying diuers hauens with a stict commanding the Lieutenants Iustices of each Shire to repaire into their Countries by which good order obserued he grew somewhat secure and bolder to shew himselfe in publique assemblies vndaunted or any way discomfited But this was yet farre from the fulnesse of his establishment as long as Ireland remained corrupted and swelled againe in euery place with the ouerblowen reports and rumours of Perkins royalty to which each trayterous eare lay open and abused heart went quite away with the nouelty Whereupon hee resolued on the necessity of purging and cleansing the same and determined to performe it by new Officers and honest Surueyors So hee sent thither with powerfull authority Henry Deane late Abbot of Langhton to be his Chancellour and Sr. Ed. Poinings with a sufficient preparation to bee Lord Generall of his army These had a large Commission vnder his Deputy the Earle of Kildare to suppresse all innouations and spare no offenders For it was such a time that mercy and fauour would rather embolden men to abuses then lustice offend with extremity Besides the Maiesty of

in the like either mislike or contention From thence the King went to Norwich where he solemnised the feast of Christmas and so departed to Walsingham vnder pretence of deuotion as the superstition of those times coacted For according to that ancient Poet Ritus verâ— extra Iusticiam sunt reijcientes cultus deorum It was an instinct of Nature to confesse a Deity and maintaine the Sacrifices and offrings to the same Now because the most part of the World knew not the true God they inuented seuerall Idols to represent their seuerall Deities to whom they brought their praiers and oblations nor durst they enterprise any businesse without offertories and deuotion that their true intents might be acceptable to the God which commanded them yea such as professed Religion and abused their knowledge inuented Images deuises to please the naturall man because with the reason of Idolater they would not kneele to the aire in vaâ—ne which was and is the errors of Christians both of the Greeke and Latine Church Now because our Lady was in these times the mediator of the Papists and the Lady of Walsingham the most famous shrine of our Country as that of Loretto is at this hower for Italy The King went thither for the impetration of prosperity in his affaires and ouerthrow and dissipation of his enemies which finished he retourned to Cambridge and so to London In the meane while the fire-brand and fuell of this contention Lady Margaret Duches of Burgundy had blowne the coales to such a heat that there were two thousand Almaines in a readinesse vnder the conduct of Martin Swart a noble man of Germanie and a martiall man by profession bold expert and daring whom after great rewards and secret directions from a well contracted Oratory she sent into Ireland with al his company where they ariued aâ— Dublin and were ioyfully welcomed by the Prince and the other Lords the coufederates especially the Earle of Lincolne who well knew that no enterprise was to be entertained without men and money and good beginnings were the drawers on of successe in the end Thus they made no more adoe but in the pride and strength of their conspiracy they proclaimed yong Lambert King of England withall the glorious titles and glorious manner appropriat as the time and Countrie afforded which ended with other ceremonies and some circumstances to set as vpright their businesse as they could they protracted no time but knowing the secret of expedition which as their case stood must be their best friend prepared for England the Army consisting as yet principally of high Almaines and a multitude of beggerly Irish which according to the Roman saying were many men and few Soldiers For their best defences were Scains and Mantles and heere and there a slender dart more fitter for a maigame and to moue wonderment then to oppose against good defences and well ordred troopes Of these the Lord Thomas Gerardine was Captaine and with these and the rest they landed for a speciall purpose or if you will to vniâ—e themselues with Sir Thomas Broughton one of the chiefe commanders in this vnhappy conspiracy at the Pile of Foudray within a little of Lancaster These affaires so notorious and so publike could not haue so secret a passage and contriuance but the worthy and wise King must needes be made acquainted with the same whereupon he dispatched certaine horse and scout-masters through the West parts of the Realme to attend the arriuall of his enemies abroad yea peraduenture to ouerwatch the actions of his friends at home as much troubled with the vnconstancy of these as perturbed with the rebellion of them Presently after he raised a sufficient Armie ouer which the Duke of Bedford and Earle of Oxford were principall commanders whom he sent forward before him then he came in person to Couentrey where the principall rendezuous was appointed and where he first heard of the landing of his enemies Within a while he could fill vp a scedule with the chiefe Traitors names and the manner of their troopes and proceedings Last of all he called a Councell proposing only two principall matters vnto them First whether it were better to encounter with his enemies out of hand as Achitophel perswaded Absalom to do against Dauid and so to dissipate them by maine force and expedition according to the Poet Tolle moras semper nocuit differre paratis Secondly or weary them out by delaies and detracting of time as Quintus Fabius surnamed after Maximus did by Hannibal and so sent him far enough from Rome into Brutia and Apuleia whereupon he was eternized with Vnus homo nobis cunctando restituit rem The conclusion was that though many times great Armies whose fury at the first rushes could not be rebated were at last spent with time expectation and many inconueniences as want of pay commotions mutinies encombrances in a strange Country feare of forraine people mortalitie famine and such like yet as the affaires of the Kingdome stood all speed and an orderly festination was to be put in practise lest like a ball of snow in a moist cold and misty Country which by often rowling groweth greater and greater they might augment their numbers with their rage and madnesse being so neere the Scots open enemies and in the north parts dissembling friends Whereupon the King remooued to Nottingham and tooke a field neere vnto a wood called Bowers whither came vnto him the Lord George Talbot Earle of Shrewsbury the Lord Sâ—range Sr. Iohn Cheny and many other Commanders with sufficient forces and furniture to encounter better men then heauy Almaines and vnarmed Irish and so the Kings army wonderfully encreased had the fulnesse of his subiects obedience to his great satisfaction and the comfort of all the rest For a Prince can in nothing bee so well pleased as in the loyalty loue and obseruation of the subiect nor the souldier contented as in the amity and full assurance of one another especially being all of a nation and language to vnderstand the wants of such as would be supplied and be releeued with the willingnesse of those which are ready to performe the same In this space the Earle of Lincolne entred Yorke-shire by easie iournies for not ouerwearying his princely Nephew vnaccustomed to trauell and after his precize manner hee both commanded that no violence should be offered to any of the Inhabitants commended all those which repaired vnto him vsing such humility and affable demeanour that it wan the hearts of many as yet vnsettled vnto him and strengthened the loue of such as had already submitted themselues Notwithstanding being much frustrated in his expectation of many coadiutors and failing in that sufficiency which hee presumed vpon hee began a little to entertaine an ill companion to all noble designes feare and mistrust casting vp an vntoward reckoning of his proceedings in this manner To retire backe againe were to meet death and destruction by a
