any such promise But that he may learne an other time to order his matters with more trueth discretion I wil set down bothe how I wēt with what commission and to what intent then let him haue iudgemēt according to the credit of his woorke When I had reuealed the traiterous spéeches of Payne the Préeste how and after what māner you may reade in the Booke before expressed I was demaunded if I knew where hee was at that time I could not make any certayne answere wherefore I was demaunded againe if I would doo my endeuoure to search him out whereto according to my bounden dutie I agréede right willinglie Then was I appointed in company with Dauid Ienkins one of the Messengers of her Maiesties Chamber and to vs was deliuered a warrant to take and apprehend not any one man but all Préestes Iesuites and such like seditious persons as in our iourney we should méete with all neither was Campion Paine or any one man named in the warrant for that as the one was iudged harde to be found so was it vncertaine where to finde him I knew well enough Wherefore remembring when I serued Maister Roper that there was one Thomas Cooper a Cooke who serued him likewise and also knew the aforesayde Paine to him I thought good to go because I had vnderstanding that he dwelt at Liuarde in Barkeshire with one Maister Yates who was a very earnest Papist and gaue great entertainement to all of that sect thinking as it might so fall out that we eyther might finde the sayd Paine there or els vnderstand where he was And considering the generalitie of our warrant some other Préestes might chaunce to be there in respect he was such an Hoste for all of that disposition When we came to Liuard and had talked with this aforesayd Thomas Cooper we were framing our selues to depart thence not hauing béene within the house at all but he desiring vs to staye Dinner we alighted and went in with him he not telling me that Campion was there with his Maister for he was then in the Iayle at Reading or any other Preeste though it hath pleased our namelesse Author to write so When we were within the house this Cooper brought vs into the Buttery where he whispering me in the eare demaunded if my fellow were within the Church or no as much to say as whether he was a Papist or no I aunswered he was not yet neuerthelesse quoth I he is a very honest mā and one that wisheth well that way Then sayde the Cooke will you goe vp Héereby I vnderstood that he would bring me to a Masse whereto I consenting leauing Dauid Ienkins in the Butterie he brought me vp where after one Satwell alias Foord had sayde Masse Campion prepared himselfe to say Masse And there was the first time that euer I saw Campion in all my life not hauing heard by any that he was ther in the house before I was brought vp into the Chamber As concerning how he was taken how he was brought vp to London and how all thinges passed in that seruice I haue already set downe in my booke imprinted which conferring with his false reporte you shall finde it as much to differ as trueth dooth from falshood This haue I thought good héere to set downe in the reproofe of him who hath published such a manifest vntrueth and as concerning what I haue reported to be spoken by Payne I am ready at all times to iustifye it with my death that they are his woordes according as he spake them By me George Eliot THus may you sée how apparant these vntruethes are which he and his sect take for their infallible ground woorke comparing the one with the other you shall hardly finde him to say trueth in any place but euen according to his owne profession béeing gouerned by lyes and vniust actions wherein he is growne so prompte and headstrong that he must néedes shewe it accordingly els he should estraunge himselfe from the ordinary course of their nature but now againe to our Historie He sayth that after Campion was brought to the Tower he was hardly entertayned bothe for lodging and victualles I néede not héere to laye open how and after what manner all prisoners that come there are entertayned for euery one well dooth know how bountifully liberally and truely they are serued béeing the Quéenes Maiesties Prisoners which many a poore man would be highly contented to fare in the order as they doo But in déede hee kéepeth order very well to make as many lyes as lynes his Booke will be the better estéemed of them that delight therein Now as concerning the time of his imprisonment his Disputations and other matters Whereat he sayth he thanketh God he was present himselfe such a one hath taken those matters in hand that when they come foorthe you shall sée our Historian made the perfect Anotamye of all vntrueth mallice and egregious slaunders After what manner hee hath behaued himself to Maister Nowell the Deane of Paules Maister Doctor Day and Maister Whitakers Who sayth he hath put foorth a Booke in answere to the Booke made by the Father Campion but any man may see saith he with what ignorance and impudencie Indéede ignoraunce hath so peruersely blinded them that either they cannot or will not sée the learning modestie and grauitie handled in that skilfull Booke for trueth whereof I appeale to all the learned Diuines in England who very well know that I reporte no otherwise then trueth is my warrant After he hath showen some part of his accustomed vntruethes in opening part of the Disputations he commeth to reporte whereof they were endicted As cōspiring the death of the Queens Maiestie ouerthrowe of the Realme of England prouoking forraine Princes to ioine therein and perswading the people of Englande vnto manifest Rebellion all these beeing fables and no trueth saith he not able to be prooued any way albeit they were garnished with sundrye false witnesses who were corrupted and bribed onely for that purpose I take God to my witnesse that neither I receyued bribe nor any manner of corrupting in the worlde or any premise of my preferment any way but onely what I sayd and did long before that time when I was brought to my examination without demaūd of any such matter promise bribe or corruption I declared that which was nothing but the méere trueth as diuers at my first comming ouer can witnesse that what I tolde them of treasons pretended and conspired against her Maiestie and the Realme I reported at the Araignement and haue set downe in my Booke the very same which as I knowe to be true and many other not to be publiquely named so will I stande in maintenaunce thereof to the death and in the death for the sauegarde of my Princesse whom I pray God long to continue in honor and benefit of my Country which I pray God to blesse continually from all attempts

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.
