hath little cause to be solicitour for that God himselfe taketh care commonly that goods and honours so gotten and maintained as hi● be shall never trouble the third heire Marry for himselfe I confesse the matter standing as you s●y that he hath reason to forbeare that Country and to leave off his building begun at Denbigh as I heare say he hath done for that the universall hatred of a people is a perilous matter and if I were in his Lordships case I should often thinke of the end of Nero who after all his glory upon fury of the people was adjudged to have his head thrust into a Pilo●y and so to be beaten to death with rods and thongs Or rather I should feare the successe of Vitellius the third Emp●ror after Nero who for his wickednesse and oppression of the people was t●ken by them at length when fortune began to fa●●e●h h●m and led out of his Palace naked with hooks of Iron fastned in his fl●sh and so dr●wn through the City with infamy wh●re lo●en in the streets with filth and ordure cast upon him and a pri●k put under his chin to the end he should not lo●ke downe or hide hi● f●ce was brought to the banke of Tyber and there af●er many hundred wounds received was cast into the river So implacable a thing is the fur●ur of a mu●titude wh●n it is once stirred and hath place of reve●ge And so heavy is the hand of God upon tyrants ●n this world when it pleaseth his divine Majesty to take revenge of the same I have read in Lean●er in his description of Italy how that in Spoleto if I be not d●ceived the chiefe City of the Country of Umbria there was a strange tyrant who in the time of his prosperity contemned all men and forbare to injury no man that came within his claws esteeming himself sure enough for ever being called to render account in this life and for the next he cared little But God upon the sudden turned upside-downe the wheele of his felicity and cast him into the peoples hands who tooke him and bound his naked body upon a planke in the M●rket place with a fire and iron tongues by him and then made proclamation that seeing this man was not otherwise able to make satisfaction for the publique injuries that he had done every private person annoyed by him should come in order and with the hot-burning tongues there ready should take of his flesh so much as was correspondent to the injury received as indeed they did untill the miserable man gave up the ghost and after too as this author writeth But to the purpose seeing my Lord careth little for such examples and is become so hardy now as he maketh no account to injury and oppresse whole Countries and Commonalties together it shall be bootlesse to speake of his proceedings towards particular men who have not so great strength to resist as a multitude h●th And yet I can assure you that there are so many and so pitifull things published daily of his tyranny in this kinde as doe move great compossion towards the party that doe suffer and horrour ag●inst him who shameth not daily to offer such injury As for example whose heart would not bleed to heare the case before mentioned of M●ster Robinson of Staffordshire a proper yong Gentleman and well given both in religion and other vertues whose Father died at Newhaven in her M●j●sties service under this mans brother the Earl● of Warwick and recommended at his death this his eldest Son to the special protection of Leicester and his Brother whose servant also this Robinson hath bin from his youth upward and spent the most of his living in his service Yet notwithstanding all this when Robinsons Lands were intangled with a certaine Londoner upon interest for●s former maintenance in their service whose title my Lord of Leicester though craftily yet not covertly under Ferris his cloak had gotten to himselfe he ceased not to pursue the poore Gentleman even to imprisonment arraignment and sentence of death for greedinesse of the said living together with the vexation of his brother in law Master Harcourt and all other his friends upon pretence forsooth that there was a man slaine by Robinsons party in defence of his owne possession against Leicesters intruders that would by violence breake into the same What shall I speake of others whereof there would be no end as of his dealing with M●ster Richard Lee for his Manor of Hooknorton if I faile not in the name with Master Ludowick Grivell by seeking to bereave him of all his l●ving at once if the drift had taken place with George Witney in the behalfe of Sir Henry Le●gh for inforcing him to forgoe the Controlership at Woodstock which he holdeth by Patent from King Hen●y the seventh with my Lord Barkley whom he enforced to yeeld up his lands to h●s brother Warwick which his ancestors had held quietly for almost two hundre●h yeeres together What shall I say of his intollerable tyranny upon the last Ar●hbishop of Canterbury f●r D●ctor Iulio his s●ke and that in so foule a matte● Vpon Sir Iohn Th●o●ma●ton whom he brought pitifully to his grave before his time by continuall vexations for a peece of faithfull service done by him to his Countrey and to all the line of King Henry against this mans Father in King Edward and Queen Maries dayes Upon divers of the Lanes for one mans sake of that name before mentioned that offered to take Killing worth-Castle upon some of the Giffords and other for Throgmartons sake for that is also his Lords disposition for one mans cause whom he brooketh not to plague a whole generation that any way pertaineth or is allied to the same his endlesse persecuting of Sir Drew Drew●y and many other Courtiers both men and women All these I say and many others who daily suffer injuries rapines and oppr●ssions at his hands throughout the Realme what should it availe to name them in th●s place seeing neither his Lord careth any th●ng for the same neither the parties agrieved are like to attain any least release of affliction thereby but rather ●ouble oppression for their complaining Wher●fore to return again wheras we began you see by this little who and how great what manner of m●n my Lord of Leycester is this day in the state of England You see and may gather in some part by that which hath bin spoken his wealth his strength his cunning his disposition His wealth is excessive in all kinde of riches for a private man and must needs be much more then any body lightly can imagine for the infinite wayes he hath had of gaine so many ye●res together His strength and power is absolute and irresistable as hath beene sh●wed both in Chamber Court Councell and Country His cunning in plotting and fortifying the same
whiles themselves in the meane space went about under hand to establish their owne ambushment Well quoth the Lawyer for the pretence of my Lord of Huntington to the Crowne I will not stand with you for th●t it is a matter suffic●ently known and seen throughout the Realme As also that my Lord of Leyceste● is at this day a principall favourer and patron of that cause albeit some yeers past he were an earnest adversary and enemy to the same But yet I have heard some fri●nds of his in reasoning of these matters de●y stoutly a point or two which you have touched here and doe seeme to beleeve the same And that is first that howsoever my Lord of Leicester do meane to helpe his friend when time shall serve yet pretendeth he nothing to the Crowne himselfe The second is that whatsoever may be meant for the title or compassing the Crowne after her M●jesties death yet nothing is intended during her raigne And of both these points th●y alledge reasons As for the first that my Lord of Leycester is very well knowne to have no title to the Crowne himselfe either by discent in blood alliance or otherw●yes For the second that his Lord. hath no cause to be a M●lecontent in the present government nor h●pe for more preferment if my Lord of Huntington were King to morrow next then he receiveth now at her Maj●sties hands having all the Realme as hath bin shewed at his owne disposition For the first quoth ●e Gentleman whether he meane the Crowne for hims●lf● or for his friend it importeth not much seeing both wayes i● is ●vident that he meane●h to h●ve all at his owne disposition And albeit now for the avoyding of envy he give it out as a crafty Fox that he meaneth not but to run wi●h other men and to hunt w●th Huntington and o●h●● hounds in the s●me chase yet is it not unlike but that he will pl●y the Beare when he co●eth to div●ding of the pray and will snatch the best p●rt to himselfe Yea and these s●lf same pe●sons of his traine an●●action whom you call his friend though in publ●que to excuse his doings and to cover the whol● plot they will and must deny the matters to be so meant yet otherwise they both thinke hope and know the contrary and will not stick in secret to spe●k it and among th●mselves it is their talke of consolation The words of his speciall Councellour the Lord North are known which he uttered to his trusty Pooly upon the receit of a letter from Court of her Majesties displeasure towards him for his being a witnesse at Leycesters second marriage with D●me Lettice although I know he was not ignorant of the first at Wanstead of which displeasure this Lord making f●r lesse accompt then in reason he should of the just offence of his soveraigne said that for his owne part he was resolved to sinke or swimme with my Lord of Leycester who said he if once the Cards may come to shaffling I w●ll use but his very own words I make no doubt but he alone shall beare away the Bucklers The words also of Sir Thomas Layton to Sir Henry Nevile walking upon the Ta●resse at Windsor are known who told him after long discourse of their happy conceived Kingdome that hee doubted not but to see him one day hold the same office in Windsor of my Lord of Leycester which ●ow my Lord did hold of the Queene Meaning thereby the goodly office of Constableship wi●h all Roy●lties and honours belonging to the same which now the said Sir Henry exerciseth on●ly as Deputy to the Earle Which was plainely to signifie that he doubted not but to see my Lord of Leycester one day King or els his other hope could never possibly ta●● effect or come to passe To the same point ●ended the words of Mistress● Anne West Da●e Lettice sister unto the Lady Anne Askew in the great Chamber upon a day when her broth●r Robert K●owles had danced disgratiously and scornfully before the Queen in p●esence of the French Which thing for that her Majesty tooke to proceed of wis●in him ●s for disl●ke of the strangers in presence and for the quarrell of his sister Essex it pleased her Majesty to check him for the same with additio● of a reproachfull word or two full well deserved as though done for despite of the forced abse●ce from that place of honour of the good old Gentlewoman I mitigate the wor●s his sister Which words the other young twig receiving in deepe dudgen brake forth in great choler to her forenamed companion and said Th●t she nothing doubted but that one day shee should see her sister upon whom the Queene railed now so much for so it pleased her to tearme her Majesties sharpe speech to sit in her place and throne being much worthier of the same for her qualities and rare vertues then was the other Which undut●full speech albeit it were over-heard and condemned of divers that sate about them yet none durst ever report the same to her Majesty as I h●ve heard sundry Courtiers affirme in respect of the revenge which the reporters should abide at my Lord of Leycesters hands whensoever the m●t●er should come to light And this is now concerning the opinion and secret speeches of my Lords owne friends who cannot but utter their conceit and judgement in time and place convenient whatsoever they are w●lled to give out publikely to the contrary for deceiving of such as will beleeve faire painted words against evident and manifest demonstration of reason I say reason for that if none of these signes and tokens were none of these preparations nor any of these speeches and detections by his friends that know his heart yet in force of plain reason I could alleadge unto you three arguments onely which to any man of intelligence w●uld easily perswade and give satisfact●on that my Lord of Leycester meaneth best and first for hims●lfe in this su●t Whi●h three arguments for that you seeme to be attent I will not stick to run over in all brevity And the first is the very nature and quality of ambition it self which is such as you know that it never stayeth but passeth from degree to degree and the more it obtaineth the more it covereth and the more esteemeth it selfe both worthy and able to obtaine And in our matter that now we handle even as in wooing he ●h●t su●th to a Lady for another and obtaineth her good will entereth easily into conceit of his owne wo●thinesse thereby and so commonly into hope of speedin● himselfe while he speaketh for his friend so much more in Kingdomes he that s●eth himself of power to put the Crowne of another mans head will q●ckly step to the next degree which is to set it of his owne see●ng that alway●s the charity of such good men is wont to be so orderly as according to ●he precep● it b●ginneth
