every where upon the verity of which he took his death And for this Authors base aspersion and surmise upon the death of Kemish it was so well known to all those who were in the ship how and in what manner he killed himself first shooting himself with a Pistol and then stabbing himself with a knife to dispatch lest he should be prevented upon the noyse of the Pistol his Cabbin door being locked on the in side that there can be nothing more plain and evident then that he killed himself But this unworthy Author will seek scandals from every thing So he saith he set out this Voyage with other mens money when it is well known though he had many adventures that he received 8000 livre. from the Countesse of Bedford in ready money which he had lent her that he sold a house and land at Micham in Surry for 2500 li all which money and more he spent every farthing in this Voyage for ten ships and he had no lesse with their men ammunition and victuals would not be set out with the adventures of a few fifty and hundred pounds alone This Author likewise saith That Raleigh had but a mean fortune which he meant to advantage by this Voyage He may thank K. James for the meannesse of his fortune who took away Sherborne from him for want of a word after he had been 7 years in the Tovver and gave it to his favourite Summerset But vvhen K. James came into England Raleigh vvas Lord Warden of the Stanneries Lord Leivetenant of Devonshire and Cornwall Captain of the Guard and Governor of Jersey he had a long lease of the Office of Wines he had most of the Earl of Desmonds estate in Ireland he had the daughter and heyre of Basset to his vvard to marry to his son her estate vvorth 3000 livre. per an. vvho vvas taken from him and married to Mr. Henry Haward vvho dyed suddainly at the table and she after married to the Earl of Newcastle vvho professed he vvould never have married her if young Walter Raleigh had been alive conceiving her before God to be his vvife for they vvere married as much as children could be he had likevvise Sherborn vvhich vvas lately valued by the State at 5000 li. per-an and this vvas no beggerly estate all vvhich he lost for his supposed treason And it is certain that many years after he and Cobham being prisoners upon the sute of Q. Ann being thereunto pressed by Sr. W. R. Cobham vvas re-examined before some of the Lords of the Councel at the Tovver and did clear Sir W. R. from all treasons vvhatsoever T is likewise true that the whole design and intention of his Voyage was by K. James under Raleighs own hand delivered to Gondomare and thereupon there was 300 Spaniards sent to St. Thomae which made that resistance there that was and Raleigh found his own letter under his own hand in the Governor of St. Thomas Closet which letter he brought back and shewed it to the Lords of the Counsel Now whereas he saith They had matter enough to take away his life in this his last businesse why did the Lords of the Councel then for a whole year together examine him at the Tower every week to pick out what they could to condemn him and yet when all was done they were fain to tell the King that if he would take away his life he must take advantage of his former condemnation which was accordingly done The next scandalous passage we meet with is fol. 365. concerning Will Earl of Pembrook and Philip Earl of Montgomerie his brother who he saith were men of considerable descents though of no fame in their merits when all men know William Pembrook was a man of Honour Valour and Learning and as well beloved as any man in this Nation But he leaves not the other brother so but farther saith though the King was no quarreller yet he hated a coward Strange that the King should hate that in his favourite which was so predominant in himself and turned Montgomery out of his affection for being switcht by a mean Gentleman Ramsey a Scot at a publick horse-race T●ough this favourite was urged to revenge and backed by the English forty to one to defend him he basely put it up to his death and the dishonor of a Gentleman That this passage in the main parts of it is true cannot be denyed but aggravated with these circumstances most slanderous and base and in every part of it most unfit to be left to posterity in Print being a particular and malicious blot upon a noble family and no way fit to be recorded by a Chronicler it is most notoriously false that the King deserted Montgomery for this action for though he were then in fancy with Carr yet after this he gave Montgomery greater gifts and was kinder to him then ever he had been before in all his life and the rather for putting up this injury lest it should have bred a national quarrel which it had like to have done and which King James dreaded above all things in the world for it is certain there was a sword put into n1g-nn hand being in an hunting posture without weapon to revenge himself and he sought for Ramsey all over the field but he was conveyed out of the way by the Scots and Mr. Pinchback by name said to Montgomery My Lord let us break our fast with them here meaning the Scots and sup with them at London For which speech King James ever hated Pinchback to his dying day Ramsey was committed close prisoner to the Tower and there lay until he had made all possible submissions that could be invented and it is well known that King James was alwayes kind to Montgomery to the very last as this Author himself confesseth in another place of his book fol. 592 therefore a false and malicious suggestion meerly brought in to brand Montgomery with a lasting disgrace The next businesse we shall take notice of is the poysoning of Overbury wherein he strives all he can to extenuate that foul murther both in Summerset and his Wife and magnifying the justice which was done therein forgets that Summerset and his Wife who were principals and drew in all the rest for money and rewards were pardoned and only the poor accessaries hanged And what an unworthy character doth he give of that poor unfortunate Gentleman Overbury saying That he was of an impudent and Thrasonical disposition that he had little in him that was solid for religion or moral vertue and that he was naught and corrupt making him the baud to Summersets lust with Essex his Wife and making him brag of that imployment when as all men that ever I met with have ever held Overbury to have been a sober religious and learned Gentleman and so it appeareth by what hath come out in publick of his writing besides he doth in this disparage Summerset whom he would defend by making him
