Wonderfull Deliverances of England from the Sword since the memory of Man By the Power of GOD onely to whom be Praise THe first was in the yeare of our Lord Christ 1588. When the Pope the King of Spaine with his in vinsible Navie so called by them consisting of 160. great shipps of Warre with Men and Ammunition for 40000. land Souldiers did attempt to invade this Land with whom our Navie consisting of but 50. English shipps and 30 Dutch under conduct of Charles Earle of Notingham Sir Francis Drake and sir Martine Furbisher did meete not farre from the Coast of Plymouth fought with them valiantly although they were much inferiour in Number and strength unto them for the space of two dayes and more untill they came over against Callis where the Spaniard expected to meet an other fleet with 30000. more land forces from the Duke of Parma the Generall for the King of Spaine in the Low-Countries where at Callis the Spanish Fleet remained at Ancor untill it pleased God to put into the minde of Sir Frances Drake to set 3 old ships or Hoyes stuffed with combustible matter and set them on Sea in the Tide way and they drave with the tyde upon the Spanish Navie being at Ancor in forme of a halfe Moone upon the suddaine view whereof every Spanish ship did thinke himselfe in danger and every one cut their Cables to give roome to the burning shippes whereat the English ships taking advantage of the Southerly windes did joyne most corragiously and followed them Northwards two dayes when and where the LORD OF HOSTS by a stormie winde sent them beyond among the Isles Orcades where they perished to their great confusion in so much as scarce 20. of 160. returned home to Spaine And thus by the mighty hand of the Lord England was delivered under the conduct of the aforesaid Commanders and assistance of the Noble Sea-men of England and Holland such as is the Honorable Lord Sesscild Earle of Moltgrave William Lord Harvie and poore Mathew Dale now one of Suttons Hospitall being yet living eye witnesses of that great deliverance of God to whom be everlasting praise The second was in the yeare of our Lord 1597. being the yeare after Cales voyage at what time Robert Earle of Essex Thomas Lord Howard and Sir Walter Raghly had the command of 100.
