with Master Roe who perceiuing him in this plight spake to him but the Guard perhibited Master Roe to haue any conference with him onely thus much hee spake in English to him that hee desired him to informe the Embassadour how and in what manner hee met him so they posted him to Vallidolid where they brought him to the inquisition house where he was more fully examined of the Segnior inquisitors of the occasion of his apprehension for what cause hee was brought thither laying nothing to his charge neither indeed could they enioining him to acknowledge the reason whereof himselfe was ignorant they bid him examine his conscience to guesse or thinke what it was might bring him thither protesting that they were impartiall and vpright Iudges the protectors and rulers as free from corruption as prone to equitie thus with much Grauitie was hee diuers times examined For his lodging it was somewhat homely his diet bare his restraint close to the deniall of the sight of any one but made more miserable by the company of two other prisoners with him who were sometimes examined by the inquisitors what they thought their fellow was in for what his discourse was among them which Master Roe requited when the inquisitors demanded him what they discoursed of and for what reason hee thought them there detained who told them he could not tell Not long after they enquired of him If he would haue an Interpreter of the English Colledges to come vnto him to Interpret his intentions and to conferre with with him in matters of Religion which hee seriously denied auerring hee had rather commit his life into the hands of Strangers euen such as they were then into the hands of English Iesuites or Fugitiues who knew them more maliciously addicted to their owne Countrey then any Forraine person whatsoeuer not vnlike the runagate Turks who cannot brooke their owne Nation by reason they obiect vnto them their owne shame and the reason of this his detestation of their conference was in that he suspected one Father Foster an English Iesuite to haue beene the contriuer of his imprisonment in that hee had discoursed with that Iesuite in the Embassadors house in matters of Religion But fearing his violent detention by the inquisition I will discouer the discouery of it as also what became of the Merchants Seruant The flemish Gentleman who met him on his Iourney informed my Lord Ashton in what manner hee had seene Master Roe vpon the which the Embassador went to the Inquisitor Generall to know the reason of his imprisonment who carried himselfe as one ignorant of the cause or person but being solicited and importuned at last confest he was sent to Inquisition to Vallidolid for some hainous matters concerning points of Religion The Inquisitor Generall vnderstanding that the Embassador knew of Master Roes detention now caused the Merchants Seruant to be set at liberty who all this while was kept close in the same house where Master Roe was apprehended lest that he might disclose the conueiance of this Gentleman Of these vnlawfull deuises the Embassador informed his Soueraigne King Iames of pious memory who forthwith writ Letters to his Maiesty of Spaine the subiect whereof was for his deliuery Trinity Colledge in Cambridge preferred an humble petition to the King in testimony of his modest deportment and vpright conuersation amongst them and partly for this reason in that certaine of the Spanish crue and faction had suggested to his Maiesty that he was a turbulent factious Puritane and therefore rightly punished by God in this imprisonment thus diswading as much as in them lay the King to write any Letters in his behalfe These petitions were deliuered to his Maiestie by the Noble Earle of Holland besides his Mother Brothers Kindred more particularly Sir Thomas Roe and Sir Henry Mildra were dayly petitioners to his Maiestie My Lord Ashton was since suitor to his Maiestie of Spaine to grant King Iames suite Henry Wotton then Embassadour importuned the Embassadour for Venenan at Madrid by letters of the same subiect alledging his detention might example to surprize and withhold any secretarie of any Embassadour whosoeuer The Lord of Bristoll with a passionate zeale aboue all the rest dayly sollicited in the behalfe of his deliuerie the continuall redeemer of his distressed countrey men if at any time they stood in neede of him which feruencie of his proceeded not from any priuate interest but his inbred affection to his nation still profering to be a prop and pillar in the common good of his countrey then to aduance his particular estate but to returne to my inquisition Master Roe could not haue his liberty till Padre Maestro came ouer into Spaine and solicited the businesse and then he was soone released as yet ignorant by any information of theirs of the reason of his detention this Gentleman being demanded of his Ferriman as hee passed the Riuer Eron trauailing out of Spaine into France when he intended to returne answered in the phrase of an English Spirit Nunce sino a lucōquostu doespana Not long after was imprisoned one Master Scott a Yorkshire Gentleman apprehended at Madrid and sent to the inquisition of Toledo as it is coniectured in that he had disputed with an Irish dominican Frier Father Thomas in matters of Religion where his lodging and diet was very hard according to his owne relation to his Maiestie King Iames but through the intercession of the Lord of Bristoll was deliuered Master Pryma an English Merchant succeeded him in imprisonment at Toledo vpon no other true occasion but because he endeuored a Monopoly of English Merchandize to the impouerishment of other Spanish Merchants released also by the Lord of Bristoll but banished the Countrey At Siuill they clapt vp one Master Victorine Cheuerill freed by the importunitie of the same Lord But their happynesse was the match with Spaine was then proceeding and the Lord of Bristoll that Noble Personage Embassador of Spaine for otherwise they might haue shared in the miseries of these that follow as Master Gurganey a true and learned Protestant who died vnder the Spanish inquisition and a Scottish Gentleman A. who was rackt in in the Inquisition house at Malaga to the distortion of each particular ioynt now a cripple in Charter house and Master Mosley of Rome who hath beene detained in that Inquisition house these ten yeeres and like to expire there And others as for example Master H. brother to the Earle of L. who hauing viewed the greater parts of Europe France Spaine Italy Constantinople Greece returning to Italy and so for England was there apprehended after this manner The Gouernor of the first Towne he was to passe through had a great desire to a Grecian horse of his which he brought from thence which hee intended to present to his brother the L. in so much he requested it of him but the Gentleman not so foolishly courteous as to depart from him by his denyall so incensed the
