WILLIAM Parrie Doctor of Lavve carieng an offensiue minde against the state by reason of his conuiction in a trial of life death at Nevvgate for the attempting of the murdering of one Hugh Hare for the vvhich notvvithstanding he receaued her Maiesties most gracious pardon and therevpon departing the Realme in the yeare 1582. for that he conceaued no hope of aduancement here because he vvas in his ovvne opinion a pretended Catholique and had not in 22. yeares receaued the Communion At his being in the partes beyonde the seas hauing first reconciled himselfe to the Church of Rome at Paris and then at Millain conceaud vvith himselfe a meane as he pretended to relieue the Catholiques of this Realme vvhich vvas by killing of the Queenes Maiestie And nothing staied him in this concept but onlie to be assured in conscience that it vvas lavvfull and meritorious and before the execution thereof to receaue absolution from the Pope For his assurance or rather setling of his conscience herein he receaued ful satisfaction first from an olde Iesuit in Venice next from the Popes Ambassadour resident there then from other good fathers as he termeth them in Lyons and Paris and lastlie vvas incouraged to proceede therein by the Nuntio to the Pope residēt at Paris vvho promised him after he assented to that vvicked enterprise to recommend him to the altar and also to procure the like to be done generally through Paris vvhich vvas accordingly performed in generall termes by Recommending of one that had taken vpon him to doe some daungerous enterprise tending greatly to the aduancement of the Catholique religion The saide Nuntio did also conueigh the said Parries letters directed to the Pope and to the Cardinal by the vvhich he did signifie to them his ful resolution to proceede in his enterprise for his better successe in the same praied his benediction Apostolicall vvhervnto ansvver vvas made by letters vvritten in Rome by the Cardinal dated the last of Ianuarie vvhich he receaued from him vvhen the Court lay at Greenevvich in March last The tenor of those letters vvas a commendation of his enterprise an allovvance thereof an absolution in his holines name of all his sinnes and a request to go forvvard in it in the name of God VVhich letters confirmed his resolution to kill her Maiestie and made it cleare in his conscience that it vvas lavvfull and meritorious as he setteth dovvne in his said confession VVherevpon he insinuated himselfe into the Court and by vvaies meanes sought to vvinne credit c. to the entent to bring his vvicked purpose to passe VVhich at sondrie times he had done had not the gracious prouidence of God by strange meanes interrupted his purpose A Praier for the Queene O Eternall God and mercifull Father with humble heartes we confesse that we are not hable either by tounge to vtter or in mind to conceaue the exceeding measure of thine infinite goodnes and mercie towardes vs wretched sinners and towards this our noble Realme and naturall contrey Not many yeares since when for our vnthankful receauing of the heauenly light and truth of thy Gospell we were iustlie cast into thraldome and misery and thrust again vnder the kingdome of darknes so that our consciences lay groning vnder the heauie burdens of errour superstition and idolatry euen then euen then O Lord thou didest vouchesafe of thy great goodnes not only without our desert but far beyond our hope expectation to preserue for vs thy faithfull seruant our gratious prince and Soueraigne Queene Elisabeth and to saue hir from the iawes of the cruell Tigers that then sought to sucke hir bloud and to worke to vs perpetuall tirannie and bondage of conscience This thou diddest O gratious Lord vndoubtedly that she might be to this thy church of England a sweete and tender nurse and that this realme vnder hir happie gouernement might be a blessed Sanctuarie and place of refuge for thy poore afflicted Saints in these daungerous daies persecuted and troubled in many contreyes for the profession of thy Gospell yea and that this our benefit and their comfort might be the more assured thy diuine prouidence from time to time hath many wayes mightily and miraculously preserued and kept hir from the craiftie cruell and traiterous deuises of hir bloudie aduersaries and the deadly enimies of thy Gospell which with barberous crueltie haue sought to extinguish the light thereof by sheading hir Maiesties most innocent bloud but this thy gracious goodnes mightie prouidence neuer so apparently shewed it selfe at any one time as euen within these few dayes when a traiterous subiect neuer iniured or greened by hir but sundry times holpen releeued and countenanced far aboue his state and worthines had of long time retained a wicked and diuelish purpose and often sought occasion and oportunitie to lay violent hands vpon hir royall person and to haue murdered her But still the vigilant eye of thy blessed prouidēce did ether preuent him by some sudden interruption of his indeuour or by the Maiestie of her person and princely behauiour towards him diddest strike him so abashed that he could not performe his conceaued bloodie purpose And at the last this wretched villanie was by thy meanes disclosed and his owne tunge opened to confesse his detestable and wicked intent For this thy inestimable goodnes towards vs O heauenlie Father with humble heartes and mindes we thanke thee and blesse thy name for euer and euer For assuredlie if thou haddest not bene now on our side as the Prophet Dauid saith the whole fluds and waues of wickednes had ouerwhelmed vs and we had beene sunk into the bottomeles pit of infinite and vnspeakable miseries We beseech thee therfore O Lord that thou wilt blesse vs so with thy grace that we may be rightlie and trulie thankefull to thee that is not in word only but in deede also dailie studieng to frame our liues according to the direction of thy holie word which thou hast sent among vs And that hir Maiestie thus feeling the mightie hande of thy prouidence fighting for her salfetie may more boldlie and constantlie with an heroicall spirite stand in the protection defense of thy blessed Church which by thy word thou hast planted among vs. And lastlie that the cruel spirits of Antichrist that seeke the subuersion of the Gospel maie by the hand of thy iustice feele what it is to set to sale for money the innocent bloud of thine annointed Princes which thou hast prepared and set vp to be the nursses and protectors of thy truth Grant this O heauenlie Father for Iesus Christes sake thy onlie sonne our Sauiour to whom with thee and the holie Ghost be giuen all honor and glorie world without ende
