or three S 7. yet 't is plain it was his own Will because he commanded it to be drawn written and sealed and never revoked it Besides it is subscribed by many witnesses and inrolled in the Chancery by his own command enough to make it good against the assertion of those few who to please the time wherein they spake in Queen Maries time might say and ghess the King was past memory when his stamp was put to it Now to make good what he did two Acts of Parlaments 28 35. of his Reign gave him full authoritie to dispose of this Point of Succession as he and his learned Council should think best for the Common-wealth By a Statute made in the 27th of Elisabeth 27. Elisah a Statute was made That whosoever shall be convinced to conspire attempt or procure the Queens death or is privie or accessary to the same shall loose all right title pretence claim or action that they or their heirs have or may have to the Crown of England Now the late Queen of Scots being attainted and executed by the authoritie of the said Parlament and for breach of the said Statute 't is easie to determine what Title her Son hath claiming only by her The Uniting of Scotland with England dangerous to the English or like to be 1. Only the increase of Subjects but those rather to participate the Commodities of England than to impart any from Scotland 2. The natural hatred of that People unto us and their ancient inclination to joyn with our enemies the French and Irish against us are Arguments of great mischiefs likely to ensue by that conjunction 3. The Scot must needs hold in jealousie so many Englishmen competitors of the Blood Royal and therefore will fortifie himself against them by those Forrein Nations of whom he is discended with whom he is allyed as the Scots French Danes and uncivil Irish which will prove intolerable to the English 4. The King both for his own safety and for the love he beareth to his own Nation will advance them and plant them about him in chief Places of credit which must needs breed Emulations and Controversies between them and the English Then must he of Force secretly begin to favor and fortifie his own to the incredible calamitie of the other as Canutus did his Danes and William the Conqueror his Normans neither of them enemies to the English blood nor evil Kings but careful of their own safeties for herein it is impossible to be neutral 5. The Romans with all their Power and Policie could never unite the hearts of England and Scotland in peace nor hold the Scots and North-Irish in obedience of any authority residing in England What then are we to hope for of this King herein The Religion of Scotland unpleasing to our State His Religion is neither fit for our State wherein Archbishops c. and Officers of Cathedral Churches are of much dignitie and there suppressed nor will be pleasing to our Nobilitie to be subject to the exorbitant and popular authoritie of a few ordinary Ministers which the King himself is there content to yield unto And therefore it is likely that few will be forward to entertain that King for the reforming of Religion here that hath no better Order in his own at home For the Ladie Arabella For the Ladie Arabella is alleged her being an equal degree of Discent with the King of Scots Her being above him in all hopes for herself or benefit to the English that can be expected in an English Prince and a Prince born in England Against Her Neither she nor the Scot are properly of the House of Lancaster and the Title of Lancaster is before the Pretence of York ut suprà 2. The testament of King Henry 8. barreth her as well as the Scot 3. Her Discent is not free from Bastardie for Queen Margaret soon after the death of her first Husband married Steward Lord of Annerdale who was alive long after her marriage with Anguis and it is most certain also That Anguis had another Wife alive when he married the said Queen All this confirmed by the Lord William Howard Father to the now Admiral sent into Scotland by Henry 8. of purpose to enquire thereof who reported it to King Henry Queen Mary and divers others For this cause King Henry would have letted the marriage between Anguis and his Sister and chiefly caused him to exclude her issue 4. She is a Woman and it were perhaps a great inconvenience that three of the weak sex should succeed one the other 5. All her Kindred by her Father is meer Scotish In England she hath none but by her Mother the Candishes a mean Familie and Kindred for a Princess CAP. VI Examination of the Title of the House of Suffolk being Darby and Hartford Sect. 29. 30. The Earle of Hartford's Children illegitimate THe Children of the Earle of Hartford Discending of Ladie Frances the eldest Daughter of Charles Brandon are proved illigitimate 1. Because the Ladie Katharine Gray their Mother was lawful Wife to the Earle of Pembroke when they were born not separated from him by lawful authority or for any just cause but abandoned by him because her House was come into misery and disgrace 2. It could never be lawfully proved that the said Earle and Ladie Katharine were married but only by their own Assertions not sufficient in Law Therefore was the marriage disannulled in the Arches by publick and definitive sentence of Parker Archbishop of Canterbury not long after the Birth of the said Children 3. When the Marquess of Dorset married their Grandmother the Ladie Frances he had another lawful Wife sister to H. Fitz-allen Earle of Arundel whom he put away to obtain so great a marriage as was the Lady Frances This bred much hate between the Marquess and Earle ever after but the Marquess favor with K. Henry deprived the other of all remedy And therefore may their Mother the Lady Katharine seem illegitimate too Bastardie in the issue of Charles Brandon Charles Brandon had a wife alive when he married the Queen of France by which wife he had issue the Ladie Powyse wife of the Lord Powyse and this wife of his lived some time after his marriage with the Queen Darby's Evasion This Wife say the Friends of Darby died before the birth of the Lady Eleonor the yonger daughter their ancestor though after the Birth of the Lady Francis Hartford's ancestor Hartford's Confutation of the first Bastardie To the first Bastardy of Hartford their Friends affirm That the Contract between the Lady Katharine and the Earl of Pembrook was dissolved lawfully and judicially in the time of Queen Mary Hartford's evasion of the second Bastardie in the behalf of his Second born Edward Seymore The Lady Katharine being found with Child affirmed the Earle of Hartford to be the Father Hereupon he being sent for out of France where he was with Sir N. Throgmorton and had got leave to
the Order holdeth the Crown The Duke of Gasconie and Guyenne the First Banner quartered The Duke of Normandie the Second Banner quartered The Earle of Tholosa the Golden Spurs The Earle of Champanie the Banner Royal or Standard of War The Earle of Flanders the Sword Royal. And this day the King is apparrelled three times and in several sorts 1. As a Priest 2. As a King and a Warrier 3. As a Judge Philip 2d This day Lewis specially for the Coronation of his Son Philip Agustus whom he caused also to be Crowned in his dayes In this Coronation whereunto Henry 2. of England as Duke of Normandie who held the Crown and one of his Sons as Duke of Gasconie were present the King being summoned by the Archbishop to keep all Priviledges of the Church Law and Justice answered I do promise and avow to every one of you and to every Church to you committed That I will keep and maintain all Canonical priviledges law and justice due to every man to the uttermost of my power and by God's help shall defend you as a good King is bound to do in his Realm And then laying his hands upon the Gospel made his Oath in these words Au nom de Jesus Christ re jure promets au peuple Chrestien à moy Subject ces choses c. First that all my subjects be kept in the union of the Church and I will defend them from all excess rapine extortion and iniquitie Secondly I will take order that in all judgments justice shall be kept with equitie and mercie to the end that God of his mercy may conserve unto me with yo◠my people his holy grace and mercie Thirdly I shall endeavor as much as possibly shall lie in me To chase and drive out of my Realm and all my Dominions all such as the Church hath or shall declare for Hereticks as God shall help me and his holy Gospels Then he kissed the Gospels and after Te Deum sung and other particular Prayers said by the Archbishop he was Vested and the Ring Scepter Crown c. were put upon him with declaration what they signified After all that the Archbishop and Bishops did bless him and then by the said Archbishop and the other Peers was led unto the Seat Royal where the Crown was put upon his head c. France Author of this manner of Coronation Albeit the substance of the Ceremonie of Sacring and Anointing Kings be much elder than the Christian Kingdom of France yet is this particular and Majestical manner of doing it by way of Coronation the most antient in France above all other Kingdoms round about And it is probable that most of them have taken their forms of anointing and Crowning from her for the affinitie and likeness of the one to the other as may be seen by that of Germanie and Polonia before recited by that of Navarra brought in by certain Earles of Champanie according to the use of France and others But among all England seemeth to have taken it most particularly from them not only for that divers English Kings have come out of France but also for that in very deed the thing it self is all one in both Nations The Manner of Admission in England First As the Archbishop of Rheims doth this Ceremony in France so in England the Archbishop of Canterbury And the first thing the said Archbishop requireth at the King's hands is about Religion Church matters and the Clergie whereupon the King sweareth and giveth up his Oath in writing which he laieth down with his own hands upon the Altar the words are these That he will during his life have reverence and honor unto almightie God and to his Catholick Church and unto his Ministers and that he will administer Law and Justice equally to all and take away all unjust Laws Which after he hath sworn the Archbishop turning about to the People declareth what the King hath promised and asketh Whether they be content to submit themselves unto this man as unto their King or no under the Conditions proposed Whereunto having yielded he put's upon him the Royal Ornaments as the Sword the Ring the Scepter and Crown and namely he giveth him the Scepter of St. Edward the Confessor and then addeth this exhortation Stand and hold thy place and Keep thy Oath with a great commination on the behalf of almightie God if he taketh the place and breaketh his Oath Henry 4th In the admission of Henry 4. the People were demanded thrice Whether they were content to admit him for their King And the Archbishop of Canterbury having read unto them what this new King was bound by Oath unto he took the Ring wherewith to wedd him to the Common-wealth which wedding importeth a mutual Obligation which was shewed to the People by the High Constable and then put upon the King's finger who kissed the Constable in sign of acceptance c. Edward 4th Edw. 6th Mary Elisab In the admission of Edward 4th the Peoples Consent was asked at two several times very solemnly notwithstanding that he had proved his Title by Succession before in Parliament And in the Coronation of Edward 6. Queen Mary and Queen Elisabeth's the Peoples consent and their acceptation was not only demanded but the Princes corporal oath also taken upon the Evangelists What is due to only Succession by Birth and what interest or right an Heir apparent hath to the Crown before he be Crowned or Admitted by the Common-wealth and how justly he may be put back if he have not the other parts requisite also CAP. VI Belloy's Assertions upon this Matter Assertion First BElloy's Assertions about this matter are plain and gross flatteries and opposite to all reason of State and practise of the World First he saith That all Families which enjoy Kingdoms in the world were placed therein by God only and that he alone can change the same Which indeed if he refer unto God's universal providence it is true that all is from God either by his Ordinance or permission but speaking of the next and immediate causes clear it is that men do also concur therein and that God hath left them lawful authoritie so to do for the publick benefit Assertion Second His Second Assertion is That where such Princes be once placed in Government and the Law of Succession by Birth established there the Princes Children or next of Kinn do necessarily succeed by only Birth without any new choice or approbation of the People Nobilitie or Clergie or of the whole Common-wealth together Assertion Third Whereunto he joyneth That a King never dieth for that whensoever or howsoever he ceaseth by any means to Govern then entereth the Successor by Birth not as Heir to the former but as lawful Governor of the Realm without any admission at all having his authoritie only by the condition of his Birth and not by adoption or choice of any
whom they abandoned and chose Jeroboam his servant and a stranger And what availed it the Duke of Glocester Tho. of Woodstock that hee lived under his Nephew Ric. 2. or the Duke of Clarence the right of his brother Sect. 4. or the De la Pooles Staffords Plantagenets their beeing under their near kinsman Henry 8. by whom they lost both their lives possessions and kindred Many other examples might bee drawn from the Romans Sicilians Spanish English c. who have been much the wors for their home-born Princes Opinion and the beeing under several Governors make 's strangers or no strangers Who bee strangers and who not dependeth much of the opinion and affection of each people and nation the one towards the other but chiefly their being under the same or several Governments The hous of Guise and their kindred were held for strangers in France yet came they but out of Lorrain a Province bordering upon France and of the same nation language and manners onely under another Prince The Florentines are hated and held strangers in Siena where they govern albeit the one State bee not 30 miles from the other and both of one nation language and education On the contrarie the Biscayns hold not the Castillians for strangers nor the Normans and Britains the French nor the Welsh the the English a different people and of different language Three means of coming under forreign Government One Nation may becom subject to another either by Conquest as the Welsh were to the English the English to the Normans and Danes Sicilia and Naples to the Spaniards c. Or inheritance as Aquitaine and Normandie to England the 17 Provinces to Spain Britanie to France Or by mixt means of force and composition as Milan to Spain Ireland to England and Portugal in our daies to Spain The Condition of Conquest and the wisest Conquerors Conquest is of these three the hardest for the Subject all standing at the Will and Humor of the Conqueror whom either anger fear or jealousie of his assurance may often drive to hold a hard hand over the Conquered at least for a time until his State be settled Yet have these ever at least the wisest dealt like Physitians who after a vehement Purgation minister Lenitives and soft Medicines to calm and appease the good Humors left and to strengthen the whole bodie again that it may hold out Commendation of the Romane Government best to their Forrein Subjects The carriage of the Romans was so just considerate sweet and modest towards all Forrein Nations they had conquered that it allured divers Nations to desire to be under them and to be rid of their natural Kings as the Subjects of Antiochus and Mithridates Other Kings to gratifie their subjects nominated the Romane Empire for their successor as Attalus of Pergamus and Ptolomie of Egypt and others Their manner was to do most favors and give most priviledges unto the most remote Nations they having the best ability to Rebel against them wherein this circumstance of being most strangers most helped them So are the French to the Britans c. The like rule of Police have all great Monarchs used ever since As in France the States of Gasconie and Guyen conquered from the English pay far less tribute to the King than those of the isle of France it self The Britains which were old enemies and came to the Crown by marriage pay much less than they The Normans somwhat more than either because they lie somwhat neerer to Paris yet less than the natural Frenchmen Venetians to Candia The Candians pay not the third part of the Impositions unto the State of Venice whereto they are subject that do the natural subjects of Venice in Italie because it is an island a part and standeth further off Spaniards to their Subjects of Italie The Subjects of Naples Scicilie and Milan pay not the Aloavalla viz. the tenth penie of all that is bought and sold and imposed upon the natural Spaniards nor are they subject to the Inquisition of Spain especially not Naples and Milan nor doth any Law or Edict made in Spain hold in those Countries except it be allowed by the States thereof Nor may any of their old Priviledges be infringed but by their own consents Nor are they charged with any part of the extraordinary Subsidies which the King requireth of Spain And of the Low-Countries The Flemings enjoyed great tranquility under the Dominion of Spain before they revolted having a Governor of another Nation over them but his time being but short he strove principally to get and hold the Peoples good will thereby to be grateful to his King at his return home and if he attempted ought against them they complained by their Chancellor residing for them in the Spanish Court for all Forrein Nations have their particular Counsel there about the King and by his mediation obtained many Priviledges Now in the space of 28. in all which time they have been suffered to traffick freely into Spain years of their Revolt there hath not a quarter so many been punished by order of justice as Conte Lewis their natural Prince caused to be executed in one day in Bruxells which were 500. Nor had Alva any thank of the King for putting to death Count Egmont and Horne whereas in Arragon a neerer State there were many heads chopt off upon a late insurrection So that the Circumstance of being strangers and dwelling far off doth them great pleasure and giveth them many Priviledges above the home-born or neer limitting subjects The States of Italie better Governed by their late Vice-Roys than their former home-born Princes In Italie if you compare the number of the afflicted and executed by Justice or otherwise under their home-born Kings with that which hath been since you shall finde twenty for one especially of the Nobilitie the reason is their Kings were absolute and acomptant to no man and being but men and having their passions and emulations with the Nobilitie which they might satisfie without controule they pulled down and set up at pleasure and oftentimes made but a jeast of Noblemens lives and deaths But Viceroys have no authority nor commission to touch principal persons lives without relation given thereof to your King and Council and their order touching it Then knowing that after their three years Government is ended they must stay forty dayes as private men under the succeeding Governor to answer their former proceedings against all that shall accuse them they take heed what they do and whom they offend The late Kings of England extreamly cruel to their Nobilitie To come neerer home and to omit those which in the time of Wars Rebellions and Commotions occasions somwhat justifiable have been cut off within the space of one five years of Henry 4. there were executed in peace by Justice and the Princes Command 2 Dukes 1 Archbishop 5 Earles the Baron of Kinderton and four Knights Within almost as little a space of Ed.
nothing at all Allied with the Nobilitie of England her Title as doubtful as the rest if not more S. 56. Her Religion can be no great motive either for or against her for by all likelihood it is as tender yet green and flaxible as is her age and sex The Kindred and power of Beacham and Derbie The Lord Beacham and Earle of Derbie have had their Titles examined before Cap. 6. Their difference in mean and Kindred is great For Derbie far exceedeth the other in both For the Kindred of Hertford are but few his father being the first raiser of his House But Derbie hath besides the Stanleys which are many and of good power the Lords Sturton Monteagle Morley Dacres of the North the Earle of Cumberland some of the Arundels Poynes of Glocester and many others besides Lancaster Cheshire and North-Wales which for the most part depend upon him The Likelihoods of the Earle of Huntington The Earle of Huntington his Alliance is not great in the last Earl it was the Earle of Leicester and Warwick and Sir Philip Sidney living besides he was like to have the whole power of London a matter of great importance and which advanced Ed. 4. two several times by which means and by all the forces and affection of the Puritan and much of the Protestant he was thought to be in great forwardness But now these great Pillers failing no man can assure himself what the success of this Earle or his issue will be A Short Survey of all Forrein Pretenders The Infanta Pretendent of the House of Britain is a Princess of rare parts both for beautie wisdom and Piety The two yong Princes of Parma were imps of great expectation and divers waies neer of Kin to the Spaniard As near to whom are the Children of the Duchess of Bragança who are all Princes of rare Virtue and Valor and of singular affection to the English nation which divers of them travelling Portugal have tasted What the means of the Spaniard is all the world may see what his or any of their success will be in this matter no man can determine That there will be Wars about the Succession This Affair will not be ended by any possibilitie moral without some War at least wise for some time at the beginning and that for divers Reasons The First Reason The matter cannot be Disputed and determined during Her Majesties life without evident danger of her person for many Causes in the like case and especially now that she groweth to be old and without hope of issue The Second Reason The Declaration of an Heir arparent now made would move infinite Humors and Affections within the Realm and stir coals and cast firebrands over all the Kingdom perhaps further which now lie raked up and hidden in the Embers The Third Reason The Declaration though it were now made by Parlament or Authoritie of her Majestie would not fully end the Controversie For albeit some Pretenders that should be passed over or put back would perhaps be silent for the present yet afterwards 't is certain they would both speak and spurn when occasion were offered The Fourth Reason This Declaration would be dangerous to him were declared for on the one side it would make her Majestie very jealous of him On the other side unite and arm all other Pretenders and their followers against him And of all recounted by our Histories to be declared in this manner none being not Kings Children ever came to Reign The Fifth Reason The Pretenders being so many and their Pretences so ambiguous as they be it is to be thought That none or few will presently at the beginning abandon their Hopes and Titles but prove at least what Friends will stand to them and how matters will go for or against them especially seeing they may do it without danger of Law their Rights and Pretences being manifest and for this first Assay arms are necessary The Sixth Reason If any would in process of time forgo their Titles as divers will at length and many must for one only can speed yet that they be not seased or oppressed on a suddain and at first by the adverse partie as the course is in such cases t is likely each one will arm himself and friends at the beginning for better Conditions will be granted them being armed than being naked and the more that stand together on their guard the easier and sooner Peace may they procure of him that Prevaileth for a displeasure is sooner pardoned to a multitude or potent adversary than to one or a weak one Now the Common peril of the not prevailers knitting them together for their own defence besides their own safegard will be the ground of much securitie to him also that Reigneth they being not likely to conspire against him because they are many and by consequent not easily drawn to agree among themselve whom to prefer where he pulled down No main Battel but rather a Composition This matter is not like to come easily to any great or main Battel but rather to be ended at length by some Composition and general Agraement and that for this Reason The Reason The Pretenders are many and their Power and Friends lying in divers and different parts of the Realm they will one fear the other and seek to fortifie themselves where their strength lieth especially towards the Ports and Seafide for receiving of Succor Therefore will they not much urge nor press one the other in the beginning but every part attended rather to strengthen it self for the time Which of the Pretenders are likeliest to bear it There be two sorts of Pretenders the one Forrein the other English Of Forrein the Infanta it likest to bear it or some other by her Title laid upon him by her friends good-will Of Domestical the Earle of Hartford's second Son Of Forrein the Infanta and why 1 She is a Woman and may easilie joyn if her Father will the Titles of Britanie and Portugal together 2 She is unmarried and by her marriage may make some other Composition either at home or abroad that may facilitate the matter 3 She is a great Princess and fit for some great State and other Princes of Christendom would perhaps more willingly concur in such a composition of matters by her and by casting all Forrein Titles on her than that the King of Spain should add this Kingdom unto his Monarchie A thing which those Princes his neighbors in reason of State would not so well allow of 4 Some such moderation would take away much of the aversion of the English from Forrein Government For hereby no subjection would be feared to any Forrein Realm but rather divers benefits to the Realm of England S. 106. Of Domestical the Earle of Hartford's second Son and why He seemeth to be cleared of the Bastardie that lieth nearest of all upon those Children and therefore to be preferred before his elder Brother S. 62. 2 He is unmarried a
point of no small moment for the joyning or fortifying of titles and for making of Compositions of Peace and Union with the opposite parties 3 His Religion is not 〈◊〉 and consequently every partie may hope to draw him to their sides being free to follow what he shall think most expedient for his own advancement without Knot or Obligation to follow other men's affections or judgements as he would be presumed to be were he married or much obliged to any other Familie FINIS THIS Manuscript Treatise of Broken successions of the Crown of England coming from the hands of a Popish Priest and comprehending the substance of what was written and published by Father Parson 's the Jesuit under the name of Doleman for ends best known to themselves but justly suspected to be no way for the Freedom of the English Nation may give the greater occasion for the wisdom of latter times to prevent those Commotions towards confusion as might seem to threaten a second Part of that horrid Design of the Gun-power Treason Novemb. 5. 1604.
