the Souldiers of Berwick with the power of Northumberland were in New-castle they turned backe againe and besieged Bernard Castle Sir George Bowes and his brother Mr. Robert being driven by an hard siege and wanting provision yeelded the Castle and they and the souldiers were dismissed carrying their armes with them as it was covenanted vpon the first newes of the feares which the Earle of Sussex brought against them the Earles fled to Hexham from thence seeking by-wayes to Naworth Castle Whence the two Earles fl●d into Scotland the Earle of Northumberland hid himselfe in the house of Hector of Harlaw an Armstrang having confidence in him that he would be true to him who notwithstanding for money betrayed him to the Regent of Scotland It was observed that Hector being before a rich man fell poore of a sudden and so hated generally that he never durst goe abroad in so much that the Proverb to take Hectors cloake is continued to this day among them when they would expresse a man that betrayeth his friend who trusted him The Earle was afterward delivered into England and condemned of high treason and beheaded Westmerland found meanes to hide him a while with Fernihurst and Bucklough and escaped into the Low-Countries where being susteined by a poore pension of the King of Spain he liued a poore life all his time This is the fruit of Popery It bringeth Noble houses to destruction It pittied their hearts against whom the rebellion was raised to see such Noble persons brought to such a destruction But the Pope is without pitty and mercy the Priests and Iesuites that bring such noble men into such snares haue no pitty nor mercy therefore it behooveth all noble persons to be wise and to avoyd pestiferous waies that is to shut their eares against Priests and Iesuites These be pernicious instruments that secretly convey themselues into great mens favour to bring them to ruine they tell them of the Religion of their Fathers but true Religion bringeth a blessing and Religion that bringeth alwayes a curse is to be suspected And to say truth the Religion of Rome as now is not the Religion of our Fathers For Religion was changed in the T●ent Councell and therefore they cannot say they haue now that Religion which their Fathers had And that Religion was changed in the Trent Synod is by learned men sufficiently proued and we are readie to maintaine it for where the rule of faith is changed there must needs follow a change of Religion and a change of the Church But in the Trent Councell the rule of faith is changed And therefore men may obserue a great difference between these men that are now called Papists and their forefathers God blessed their Fathers because they serued God in sinceritie according to that measure of knowledge which was reuealed to them for he that serueth God truely according to that measure of knowledge which he hath and holdeth the rule of faith is without doubt accepted of God and God doth blesse such But after that God hath reuealed a greater measure of knowledge by the spreading of the savour of his Gospell they who then forsake the truth offred are followed with great curses And therefore we may plainly obserue the curses of God vpon them that forsake God and his truth Where the Pope curseth we see that God doth blesse and no 〈◊〉 followeth where God doth cur●e we see destruction followeth This rebellion was scarce extinguished when another little flame rose from this greater combustion Leonard Dacres the second sonne of William Lord Dacres of Gillestand whose eldest brothers sonne was killed with a Valting horse was much grieued to see so great a patrimony to goe from him to the daughters of the Baro● whom the Duke of Norfolk their Father in law had ioyned in marriage with his sonnes This so troubled Leonard Dacres that having no other way to revenge himselfe he tooke the course of impatient and discontented men to revenge all vpon himselfe and ioyning himselfe to the rebells striued but in vaine to deliver the Scots Queene When they were in armes then was Leonard Dacres at Court and offred the Queene all his helpe against them and for that service was sent home But as it came to light afterward in his iourney by messengers with the rebels he had communication and incouraging them vndertooke to kill the Lord Scroop and the Bishop of Carliell Which when he could not effect he tooke Grastocke Castle and other houses of the Lord Dacres and fortified Naworth Castle holding it as in his owne right and gathered souldiers about him Against him came the Lord H●nsdon with the trained souldiers of Berwick Leonard not trusting to his fortified places came to meet the Lord Hunsdon and meeting him when he passed the Riuer Gelt after a sharpe battell finding himselfe put to the worse his men killed he fled into Scotland And so went into the Low-Countries and in a poore estate died at Louaine The Queene by Proclamation pardoned the multitude which he had drawne to take his part This man run a strange course When he might haue beene out of danger he run into a quarrell which he might evidently see to be lost before he came to it But he was drunke with the cup of Rome for who would run such courses but drunken men It may teach others to beware of those that bring such poysoned and intoxicating cuppes from Rome CHAPTER III. TO proceed and to declare the pestilent fruit of the Popes excommunication which wrought still to the confusion of them that served it At this time in Ireland Edmond and Peter Botlers brethren to the Earle of Ormond ioyning with Iames fitz Morice of Desmondes family and with others ●ought to doe service to the Pope and Spanyard against Religion and with a purpose to draw Ireland away from the obedience of Queene Elizabeth To this end they made a league among themselues To inflame this rebellion Iohannes Mendoza came secretly out of Spaine and to extinguish the flame the Earle of Ormond went out of England into Ireland who laboured so effectually that he perswaded his brethren to submit themselues They were put in prison but that they might not be brought to iudgement the Earles daily intercession prevailed with the Queene It grieued the Earle exceedingly to see such a blot vpon so noble a family And the Queene was willing to preserue the honor of the house as for the reliques of that rebellion they were in short time dissipared by the wisedome of the Lord Deputy and the industry of Sir Humphrey Gilbert This was but a small motion but it sheweth the restles spirits of the Pope and Spanyard against our Church and State And we render thankes to God for breaking the purposes of our adversaries before they grew great This is his goodnes toward his Church and his iudgement vpon the adversaries The King of Spaine never rested to stirre vp troubles to Queene Elizabeth pretending the

After this they thought fit to send Fawkes to acquaint Sir William Stanly and Master Owen with this matter but so that they might receiue the oath of secrecy The reason why they desired Sir William Stanly should be acquainted herewith was to haue him with them so soone as he could And for Master Owen he might hold good correspondencies after with forraine Princes Master Fawkes departed about Easter for Flanders and returned in the end of August He brought word that Sir William Stanly was not returned from Spaine so as he vttered the matter onely to Owen who seemed well pleased with the businesse but told him that surely Sir William wou●d not bee acquainted with any plot as hauing businesse now a foot in the Court of England but he himselfe would be alwaies ready to tell him and send him away so soone as it were done About this time Master Percy and Catesby met at the Bathe Where they agreed that the company being yet but few Catesby should haue the others authority to call in whom hee thought best Whereupon he called in Sir Euerard Digby and after that Master Tresham The first promised fifteene hundreth pounds the second two thousand pounds Master Percy promised all that he could get of the Earle of Northumberlands rents which was about foure thousand pounds and to prouide many galloping horses to the number of ten Meane while Fawkes and Winter bought somenew powder as suspecting the first to bee danke and conueied it into the Cellar and set it in order as they resolued it should stand Then was the Parliament anew prorogued vntill the fifth of Nouember So that all of them went down till some tenne dayes before When Catesby camevp with Fawks to an house by Enfield-chase called White-webs whether Winter came to them Catesby willed Winter to inquire whether the young Prince came to the Parliament Winter told him that hee heard that his Grace thought not to be there Then said Catesby must we haue our horses bey●nd the water and prouision of more company to surprise the Prince and eaue the Duke alone All things thus prepared the Saturday of the weeke immediately praeceding the Kings returne which was vpon Thursday being but ten dayes before the Parliament The Lord Monteagle sonne and heire to the Lord Morley being in his owne lodging ready to goe to supper at seauen of the clocke at night one of his footmen whom hee had sent of an errand ouer the street was met by an vnknowne man of a reasonable tall personage who deliuered him a Letter charging him to put it into my Lord his Masters hands which my Lord no sooner receiued but that hauing broken it vp and perceiuing the same to bee of an vnknowne and somewhat vnlegible hand and without either date or subscription did call one of his men to him for helping him to reade it But no sooner did he conceiue the strange contents thereof although he was somewhat perplexed what construction to make of it as whether of a matter of consequence as indeede it was or whether some foolish deuised Pasquill by some of his enemies to skarre him from his attendance at the Parliament yet did hee as a most dutifull and l●iall subiect conclude not to conceale it what euer might come of it Whereupon notwithstanding the latenesse and darkenesse of the night in such a season of the yeare he presently repaired to his Maiesties Pallace at White hall and there deliuered the same to the Earle of Salisbury his Maiesties principall Secretary The Earle hauing read the Letter and heard of the manner of comming of it to his hands did greatly incourage and commend the Lord for his discretion te●ling him plainely that whatsoeuer the purpose of the Letter might proue hereafter yet did this accident put him in mind of diuers aduertisements hee had receiued from beyond the seas wherewith he had acquainted as well the King himselfe as diuers of his Priuy Councellours concerning some businesse the Papists were in both at home and abroad making preparation for some combination among them against this Parliament time for inabling them to deliuer at that time to the King some petition for tolleration of Religion which should be deliuered in some such order and so well backed as the King should be loath to refuse their requests like the sturdy-beggars crauing almes with one open hand but carrying a stone in the other in case of refusall And therefore did the Earle of Salisbury conclude with the Lord Monteagle that he would in regard of the Kings absence impart the same Letter to some more of his Maiesties Councell Whe●eof the Lord Monteagle liked well onely adding this request by way of protestation that whatsoeuer the euent hereof might proue it should not be imputed to him as proceeding from too light and too sodaine an apprehension that hee deliuered this Letter being onely moued thereto for demonstration of his ready deuotion and care for preseruation of his Maiestie and the State And thus did the Earle of Salisbury presently acquaint the Lord Chamberlaine with the said Letter Whereupon they two in the presence of the Lord Monteagle calling to minde the former intelligence already mentioned which seemed to haue some relation with this Letter the tender care which they euer had to the preseruation of his Maiesties person made them apprehend that some perillous attempt did thereby appeare to be intended against the same which did the more neerely concerne the Lord Chamberlaine to haue care of in regard that it doth belong to the charge of his office to ouersee as well all places of Assembly where his Maiesty is to repaire as his Highnesse owne priuate houses And therefore did the said two Councellors conclude that they should ioyne vnto them three more of the Councell to wit the Lord Admirall the Earles of Worcester and Northampton to be also particularly acquainted with this accident Who hauing all of them concurred together to the re-examination of the contents of the said Letter they did conclude that how slight a matter it might at the first appeare to be yet was it not absolutely to be contemned in respect of the care which it behoued them to haue of the preseruation of his Maiesties person But yet resolued for two reasons first to acquaint the King himselfe with the same before they proceeded to any further inquisition in the matter as well for the expectation and experience they had of his Maiesties fortunate iudgement in clearing and soluing of obscure riddles and doubtfull mysteries as also because the more time would in the meane while bee giuen for the practise to ripen if any was wherby the discouery might be the more cleare and euident and the ground of proceeding thereupon more safe iust and easie And so according to their determination did the Earle of Salisbury repaire to the King in his gallery vpon Friday being Alhallow day in the afternoon which was the day after his Maiesties arriuall and none but himselfe
