A TREATISE DECLARING AND confirming against all obiections the just title and right of the moste excellent and worthie Prince IAMES the sixt King of Scotland to the succession of the croun of England WHEREVNTO IS ADDED A DISCOVRSE Shewing how necessarie it is for the Realme of England that he be in due time acknowledged and admitted to the succession of the Kingdome The Preface SEING the great diuersitie of opinions which is found in men of all Estates throughout this Realme concerning the Royall succession and fore-seing the manifest danger of ciuill and forraine warres which thence are lyke to ensue to the notable hurte and domage if not to the vtter ruine of this noble Kingdome except the subjects thereof bee in due time rightlie informed to whom by right the croun falleth next after her Maiestie I thought it my dutie being a member of one bodie with them trulie to informe so manie of them as I might concerning this matter by publishing this treatise wherein the right of the next lawfull successour is declared and confirmed against all obiections And for that I know it to be the opinion of sundry men that in this present controuersie it is not onlie to be considered to whom by right the croune appertaineth but also whether his admission may be auailable or hurtfull to the common wealth I thought good to adde to the saide declaration defence of his right a discourse shewing howe necessarie and expedient it is for the common wealth that hee be in due time acknowledged and admitted to the succession of this Kingdome Both which parts I haue brieflie handled thinking it ynough to proue and confirme them with a competent number of weighty and forceable arguments the rather for that the former part hath beene more at length declared and confirmed by others in treatises alreadie published and the other point is of it self so cleare and manifest as fewer reasons than I alledge may be sufficient for the certain proofe and euidencie therof I hope that you my deare countrie-men for whose instruction and behoofe I haue published this little pamphlet will thankfully accept this my good meaning and honest endeuour making your profite therof by embtacing and furthering so iuste and honorable a cause as is heere recommended vnto you and procuring thereby together with your owne safetie and advantage the peace honour prosperitie of this your natiue countrie With which happie fore-sight beseeching God to indue you I hartilie bid you fare-well IRENICVS PHILODIKAIOS The right of the King of Scotland by descent of kindred is declared BEing to declare who by all right is next to our soueraigne Ladie Queen Elizabeth in the succession of the kingdom I thought it needeles to draw the descent of such as with anie reason or probabilitie may after her Maiesties decease lay claime to the croun further of than from the vnion of the houses of Lancaster and York in the persons of the most renowmed King Henrie the seauenth and of Elizabeth eldest daughter to King Edward the fourth right and lawfull heires of both the Royall families For as for the Erle of Huntington and others descended from George Duke of Clarence youngest brother to King Edward the fourth they may not justlie be greeued if they be placed in rank after such as are lawfullie descēded from the heire of their own house of York joyned in mariage to the head of the familie of Lancaster And as for the king of Spaine and his sister the Infanta for whome farre sought titles haue beene forged by some fugitiue Persons of our own nation desiring for the alteration of Religion to make this flourishing common wealth a praie to the enemies therof I am perswaded there is none that hath the hart of a true subiect or naturall English-man how soeuer hee bee affected in Religion that will not vtterlie abhorre and detest the defending or approouing of anie such titles tending to the great dishonour and vtter subuersion of this Realm and to the notable disgrace of so manie worthie Princes as since the time of King Henrie the sixt hitherto therin haue reigned But desisting from the mention of titles no les false than odious I come to the orderlie descent of Henrie the seuenths progenie King Henrie the seuenth of that name had issue by Queene Elizabeth besides Prince Arthur and an other who deceased without succession Prince Henrie Ladie Margaret and Ladie Marie King Henrie the eight who succeeded to his father had issue King Edward Queene Marie and Queene Elizabeth now reigning Ladie Margaret eldest daughter to King Henrie the seauenth was maried to Iames the fourth King of Scotland who begat on her Iames the fift father to Marie Queen of Scotland Douagier of France whose onlie sonne and heire is King Iames the sixt who at this present reigneth and hath alreadie issue Prince Henrie Ladie Elizabeth and another daughter The said Queen Margaret after the death of King Iames the fourth was maried to Archibald Earle of Angus and by him had a daughter called the Ladie Margaret Dowglasse which was wife to Mathew Stewart Earle of Lenox by whome shee had two sonnes Henrie Lord Darlie and Charles whereof Henrie beeing the elder was ioyned in mariage to Marie Queen of Scotland and of her begat the king that now is And Charles the younger brother maried Elizabeth the daughter of Sir William Candish by whome he had one only daughter yet liuing named the Ladie Arbella Marie the younger daughter of King Henrie the seuenth after the decease of her first husband Lewes the twelth King of France by whome shee had no issue was maried to Charles Brandon Duke of Suffolke by whome she had two daughters Ladie Frances and Ladie Eleonor The Ladie Frances was maried to Henrie Gray Marques of Dorcester afterward Duke of Suffolke who begat of her three daughters Iane Katherine and Marie The eldest of them Ladie Iane was maried to Gilford Duldey the sonne of Iohn Duke of Northūberland of whom she had no issue being sone after her mariage put to death by Queene Marie for taking on her the croun Ladie Catherine first espoused to Henrie Harbert eldest sonne of William Erle of Pembroke this contract being dissolued had by the Earle of Hartford after a priuie
