B00559	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. Whereunto is added a discourse 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.	Philodikaios, Irenicus.	1599 (1599)	STC 19881.5; ESTC S94721	21,845	46

fauor in furthering and advancing him to his right But considering besides his right his Royall dignitie and honorable disposition that he is also King of a country bordering vpon ours and inclosed within the same Iland wee must iudge his admission altogether necessarie if we desire our present quiet estate to be free from danger both inward outward For if anie meanes be vsed to debarre him from his right that will no doubt breed ciuill dissension and sundry factions throughout the Realme among which hee wil not want his adherents of the best wisest number besides whome beeing fortified with the power of his owne subiects togeather with the assistance of his friendes and confederates in France Germanie Denmark and other parts he will by all likeliehood preuaile against his enemies But God forbid this occasion should bee giuen of making this flourishing Realme a praie to forraine nations especiallie in so dangerous a time when as besides the diseases which lurk in the entrals thereof it is also troubled with the rebellion of the Irishry in Ireland and with the feare of the king of Spaine fostring the said rebellion with his assistance and preparing a mightie Armada to inuade vs beeing emboldned thereto by hope of finding heere assistance by reason of the present controuersie concerning the Royall succession and by the incouragement of some vnnaturall and seditious traitours of our own nation who desiring the violent alteration of Religion and ouerthrow of the present estate haue not beene ashamed to forge him a title to the croun of England to publish the same to the world as I haue alreadie declared to egge him on thereby to the inuasion of their natiue countrie It behooueth therefore all honest faithfull subiects of this Kingdome to bewar that by resisting the right and lawful successour or by not acknowledging him in due time they put not themselues in danger of falling vnder the yoke and tyrannie of mercilesse Spaniards who if they haue vsed extreame crueltie against the poore sillie Indians others who neuer offended them will no doubt vse far more outrageous crueltie against our nation by whome they account themselues notablie dishonoured and disgraced Neither ought such as among vs professe the Romane Religion to whom onely the prosperous successe of Spaniards might seeme to be least prejudiciall feed themselues with anie vaine hope of finding fauor at their hands For notwithstanding their pleasant allurements and the faire promises which they make them for the present in hope of their fauour assistance yet if in the end which God forbid they should preuaile and become conquerours of this realme after the vtter destruction and rooting out of al others professing the Gospell they would vse them nothing the more fauourably for betraying their coūtrie Yea they would despise and handle them the wors therfore as they did Sir Williā Stanley whom for betraying to them the toune of Dauenter they thrust shamefullie out of the same and would not after giue him the credite of any other town but caused him his regiment in a slauish maner to trudge vp and doun the low countries and to lye both summer and winter in poore and bare Villages as vnworthie to be placed in anie town So would they also vse the betrayers of their owne natiue countrie as slaues and drudges and vpon anie occasion of displeasure or mistrust which they should conceiue against them deale with thē as before they had done with the rest And trulie the best might be looked for would be the vsing them as seruants the abusing filthilie of their wiues and daughters the thrusting of them into Cornwal and to the most barreine parts of the Realm the holding of them alwaies vnder the yoke of miserable bondage Which hard vsage they might justlie feare taking example by the miseries and calamities that other nations of their Religion haue suffered vnder the tyranny of Spaniards The nobilitie and people of the lowe countries professing the Romane Religion as well as others of a different profession haue had ouer great proofe of their intollerable pride and tyrannie especiallie at their first ariual whē as they made their accoūt to be maisters ther without controlment or resistance The truth heerof is testified by the beheading against al equitie justice of their chief nobilitie yea of such as did moste notable seruice to the King of Spaine as namely of the Countes of Egmond Horn by the powling pilling of the people by violence and extorsion by the filthy abusing of their wiues daughters by misusing of themselues in a slauish maner by other such their tirannical oppressions Their pride tiranny is also cause why the stats of Naples Sicily and Millain who sigh sob vnder their hard yoake would shake off the same if they could why also all other states Princes of Italie yea euen the Pope himself stand in so great feare suspition of them as they doe But I may not passe vnder silence the example yet freshlie bleeding of their extreame crueltie against the people of Cleueland a state of the Empyre whom hauing bene hitherto their frends and for the most part of their owne Religion they haue vsed as if they had bene their deadly enemies and like Turks rather than Christians for that continuing in their obedience towards the Empyre and their own lawfull Prince they would not become slaues to the ambitious house of Austria If they haue thus vsed these and sundrie other nations their subiects and friends being of their owne Religion what better vsage can our professors of the Romane Religion look for at their hands who can not but be odious to them aboue others in that they are of a nation aboue all others by them hated and redoubted And how might English hearts abide the extreame pride and insolencie of Spaniards beeing conquerours who before the setting forth of the last Armada to inuad this land behaued themselues most proudly and scornfullie towards our English noblemen of their own Religion who were their Pensioners and as desirous to conquer England to them as themselues For at that time the Lord Paget offering to Don Bernardino de Mendoza who had bene some time Ambassadour in the Court of England the meanes of procuring seruice and assistance in England to the King of Spaine the said D. Bernardino answered him that the King his Maister needed not the seruice of Englishmen in that enterprise and that hee did of charitie whatsoeuer hee had done for the said Lorde Paget and other banished English-men Also T. Throckmorton in Brussels conferring with Iuan de Lasture the Kings Treasurer generall saying that he wondred why the King hauing such pretēces for England made no more reckoning of such Englishmen as followed him who in regard of their parentage and intelligence might be able to do him great seruice if they were hartned with better vsage wheras now by reason of their pouertie drouping
