An other manifest vntrueth applied on the behalfe of Alexander Brian The māner of the Papists charitie to Christes members In my booke which shall shortly come foorth you shall reade the cruelty lately vsed to an English mā at Roome for the christian faith I would they all bare as true hartes to her Maiestie as he dooth I was not called by the name of Anthony Munday but by an other name which they set downe in their Table A verie trayterous Booke secretly imprinted and made by a Catholique preest They that hādle pitch will be defiled therewith

Brian was manifestly founde to be present at the trayterous Sermon which Iohn Hart made at Rheimes as an especiall encouragement to them all there sitting in audience to great disobediēce and hate of their Princesse and Countrey the sayd Alexander offered denial therof which notwithstanding Charles Sled defended truly to his face Whervpon this William Nicholson standing by amōg the people would take vppon him to affirme that Brian was not at y e sayd Sermon graunting him selfe to be present there then béeing euidentlie disprooued of his bolde attempt the treason of Brian appearing so manifest he was committed to prison according as rightly he had deserued He neither offered woorde on the behalfe of Foord either to defend his innocency or appeach his guiltines but euen as I haue set you downe so it was and no otherwise As for the determination of the Pope to replenish his Seminaries with such aboūdance of Schollers as he can cōueniently attaine vnto It is largely hādled in my other Booke to his shame all such as follow his humour in so traiterous perswasions Neuerthelesse this Sophister would smooth the matter after an other manner as that The Pope dooth it for meere looue and pittie to our Countrey to encrease such as shal profite in his seruice and to ayde the Church sayeth he which is so afflicted I would wishe him to kéepe that looue and pittie to him selfe for any good Subiect loatheth to heare a motion which maye offer disobedience to their Prince and Countrey and therfore loatheth him who offereth them such vnchristianlike seruice And héere I must not forget to answer his deepe iudgement as concerning Alexander Brian and the Crosse made of a peece of a Trencher which he had in his hande at the Arraignement which this fellowe sayth To be a great Crosse and that Maister Brian as Auncient bearer bare it there in the behalfe of them all vntyll sayth he he was corrected for it and because he woulde not laye it away a naughtie man by force tooke it from him to whome Brian sayde Thou hast taken from me my Image neuerthelesse I wyll fight vnder the Standarde thereof to the death Oh most impudent and shamelesse woordes it is so well knowne to be be vntrue that is héere rehearsed as I néede not to waste tyme in so vaine a matter For when he was reprooued for his shauen crowne and that stubbornlie and obstinatlie hee made aunswer He had good hope to doo it againe The Crosse was taken from him with so swéete a rebuke for such an idolatrous spectacle as if he had had any grace in him woulde haue constrayned him to be hartilie sorie for his follie And neither spake he the woordes héere falselie imputed to him or any matter to that intent onelie these woordes which haue béene rehearsed he spake verie scornefullie and without any showe of wisedome or modestie And because I wyll not be ouer tedious to the fréendlie Readers the vntruethes by him auouched at their execution I wyll bréestlie touche in rehearsall of the other Booke which is imprinted in Englishe as concerning the same matter shortlie knitting vp this slaunderous Libell to be as you maye perceyue by the confutation thereof the wryter thereof to be shamelesse in his shame one of the right broode as they all are of and his Booke equall with him in any euyll condition so that as the Trée is such is his fruite and as the wrighter is suche are his woorkes In the ende hée knitteth vp his Booke with a breefe reporte intituled The martirdome of Euerard Haunce an English Preest in An. 1581. And nowe you shall heare what most impiously he alledgeth on his behalf which is as followeth Euerard Haunce beeing a Minister of the Heretiques and a benefactour in England beeing in a verie greenous agony of sicknesse as it were neere to the death fell in a sound wherein he remained so long that his freendes altogeather reputed him for dead During the tyme he was in this traunce he seemed in a vision to see the infernall pit of hell and the Soules which were there tormented bothe night and daye with intollerable and greeuous paines yea the Soules of his freendes and most familliars which he verie well knewe in their lyfe time But that which is most straunge he sawe there the places assygned for some other of his freendes who were as then lyuing in the world and in sound and good estate of their health After this vision beeing come againe to him selfe he called for a Catholique Preest who beeing come vnto him how be it his Kinsfolkes were against it greatly as well for his Religiō as for loosing his benefice which was woorth much with great sorrowe repentaunce of his former lyfe he made his confessiō to the Preest wholy renounced his benefice embracing the Catholique faith It so chaunced that he forsooke his Coūtrey admonishing those verie earnestly whose places he had seene prepared for them in hell to amende their liues which they refusing to do dyed within short space after and wēt to hell to their places Then went he to Rheimes in Champaigne for to study Diuinitie where hauing stayed about two yeares and made Preest he felt a great zeale in him selfe to returne into his Countrey where not long since he was taken condemned to death and beeing executed he was ript vp and quartered and as his heart was throwen into the fire it leaped foorth againe three seuerall tymes This is one of our Historians faithfull reportes carrying as great credite as all the other doo these are the myracles of theyr Church whereof in my Englishe Romaine lyfe I wyll rehearse diuers of like aucthority and allowaunce which albeit they wyll vrge many to woonder and meruaile yet shall they be set downe in no other order then as them selues haue reported them and my self haue séen As for Euerard Haunce what he was how he lyued and how he dyed is already so largelie set downe in print that it were but double labour to rip it vp againe Traytour he was to her Maiestie and the Realme and so lyke a Traytour he ended his lyfe as all the rest of them shall I hope except God turne their heartes as I praye hartily he maye that they maye sée their horrible abuses and be hartilie for their haynous offences ¶ An Aunswer vnto an other seditious Pamphlet printed in Englishe and named A true report of the death and Martirdome of Maister Campion Iesuite and Preest Maister Sherwin and Master Brian Preests at Tiborne the .1 of Decemb. 1581. Obserued and written by a Catholique Preest who was present thereat TO rippe vp all the circumstances contayned in this Booke as the whole course thereof is Trayterous false and no trueth at all in it so would it séeme yrksome to any modest eare to abyde the rehearsall of such vnreuerent matter Yet neuerthelesse I wyl bréeflie touche some pointes thereof whereby

deserue them yet that thou wilt not enter into iudgement against me before thou be resolued what I am as also what they are that mooue the slaunders for I know that I am otherwise reported of then I haue deserued or they can prooue For it is the whole felicitye of the aduersarye seeing hee can no way preuayle in his mischeeuous intents to rayse vp slaunders and infamous speeches that way to discredit those whom other wayes they are not able to iniurie Beholde their dealings and be warned by them feare God honour thy Princesse looue those that wish thy welfare and in all causes commend thy selfe to the heauenly protection From Barbican this 22. of March 1582. Thine to commaund Antony Munday ¶ An Aunswer made vnto two seditious Pamphlets the one printed in French the other in English containing a defence of Edmund Campion and his Complices NOt long after I had published my Booke called The Discouerie of Campion there came vnto my hands a seditious Pamphlet printed in the French tongue intituled The Historie of the death which the reuerend Father M. Edmund Campion Preest of the Societie of the name of Iesus and others haue suffered in England for the Catholique Roomish religion or faith the 1. of December 1581. adding vnderneathe Translated out of English into French When I had thorowly perused this Booke nothing the traiterous effects and slaunderous speeches therein contayned receiuing the iudgement likewise of diuers learned and godly men aswell to correct the manifest vntruethes wherewith this Pamphlet is notably stuffed as also that the godly and vertuous may discerne theyr apparant impudencie and wicked nature I resolued my selfe to shape a bréefe aunswer to such a shamelesse Libel my self béeing therin vntruely and malliciously abused First our namelesse Historiographer because hee would ayme his course after some od manner of conueyaunce taketh occasion to begin his Booke with the taking of Campion his bringing to the Tower what happened in his time of staye there and lastly his martirdome as he termeth it with two other holy and deuoute Préestes and in this manner continuing his vnaduised laboure he beginneth as héereafter followeth GEorge Eliot sometime seruaunt to Maister Thomas Roper and sithēce belonging to a Gentlewoman the Widdow of Sir VVilliam Peters in whose seruice he made showe to be a sound and good Catholique not long since committed a murder as men say for which offence fearing the daunger that was like to ensue he went and submitted him selfe to one of the cheefe Lordes in the Court and the better to win his fauoure on his owne behalfe promised to deliuer into his handes the Father Edmund Campion This promise sayth he was receiued and vnto the sayde George and an Officer was deliuered commission to take and apprehend the said Edmund Campion Then went they on their way and comming into Barkeshire to house of one Maister Yates George Eliot met with the Cooke of the house with whom he was very well acquainted because they had before bothe serued one Maister The Cooke thinking no ill began to tell him many thinges and that Father Campion was in the house with his Maister vpon which reporte George sent his fellow to the Iustice who was a very great Caluinist and hee in meane while was brought into the house by the sayd Cooke where like an other Iudas Traitour and disloyall he first attended the Sacrifice of the Masse which was celebrated that day by the Father Edmund as also a Sermon which he made in which time behold a goodman came running willing them to take heede of a present treason Scantly was all carryed away that had serued for the Masse and the Sermon but the Iustice was there arriued with very great force besetting the house round about that none should escape away After very dilligent search through all the Chābers and other more secret places they were determined to returne as not finding any thing vntill they were aduertised either by George who had vnderstood it of the Cooke or by some other of a certain corner more darke and subtill where they found the Father Edmund and two other Preests hidden who the same day with Gentlemen and other persons were sent vp to London a spectacle of great ioye vnto their aduersaries Thus much of our Frenche Historians woords I thought good in this place to set downe because the disproofe thereto annexed may discouer what trueth all they of his sect frequent in any of their actions This aforenamed George Eliot came home vnto my lodging where I shewed him the slaunders that were vsed of him in the French Booke whereupon taking good aduise and noting the circumstances that so highly touched him vpon his conscience he deliuereth this vnreprooueable aunswer ¶ George Eliot his aunswer to cleere himselfe of the former vntrue obections ABout three yeeres since it was my fortune to serue Maister Thomas Roper of Kent with whom I had not stayed past eleuen wéekes but Payne the Préest of whom mention is made in the Discouerie of Campion set foorth by the Author of this Booke entised me from thence to serue my Lady Peters to whom the sayd Paine serued craftily as Steward of her house With her I continued almoste two yeares in which time béeing my selfe bent somewhat to that religion frequenting the company of a number of Papists I perceiued their dealings to be as they are indéede full of wicked treasons and vnnaturall dispositions too bad to be named The conceyt whereof examining first my dutie to God ne●t my looue to my Princesse and last the care of my Countrey by the grace and permission of God offered me so great disliking of their dealings that so warily and conueniently as I might I weaned my affection from their abhominable infection neuerthelesse vsing their companyes still for that it gaue me the better occasion to sée into the depth of their horrible inuentions From my Lady Peters in Nouēber was twelue moneth by intreatie I came to Maister Ropers againe with whom I continued till Whitsontide last whē my conscience hardly digesting such a waightie burden as with their deuises and practises it was very sore loden I was constrayned to giue ouer that slauish kinde of life and humbly committed my reconciliation to the right Honorable and my good Lord the Earle of Leicester to whom I made knowne the gréeuous estate of my life which for the space of foure yéeres I had endured amongst them Now whereas it hath pleased my aduersarie to set downe that I committed a murder to auoyde the daunger of Lawe offered to the aforesaid my good Lord to deliuer vnto him Edmund Campion thereby to obtaine my pardon How vntrue this is his honour very well knoweth and so do a number more besyde for in trueth I neyther as then knew Campion had neuer séen him in all my life nor knew wher or in what place he was it is very vnlike then I should make
