got it against reason justice and the will of God But that thou camest with thy mightie Armada by the ordinance of God and government of the holie Ghost and therefore thou camest to destroy and kill and that thou shouldst have enjoied that which thou hadst gotten If of so vaine a presumption thou couldst alleage anie place of the sacred Scripture in thy defence then neither would I call thy presumption vaine nor gainsaie thee But I gainsay thee bicause thou hast no reason I cal it vain bicause they are smokes of thy vainglories like those of them of whom Moyses speaketh that woulde builde a tower whose top should reach unto heaven who in rewarde of their pride were punished and destroied When the Lords people went foorth of Egypt remaining in the wildernes amongst other things that the Lord spak unto Moyses their guide and captaine generall this was one as appeereth That they should not encline to the Gods of the Gentils but that they should destroy and breake their altars And afterwards the Lord saith unto Moyses Take heede to thy selfe that thou make no compact with the inhabitants of the land whether thou goest least they be the cause of ruine amongst you But you shall overthrowe their altars and breake their images in peeces and cut downe their groaves God commanded Ioshua to destroy the citie of Iericho even to the overthrowing of the wals All the inhabitants of Ai were destroied and the citie laid waste God commanded Gideon to destroy the altar of Baal and he did it So then these and others which I might alleage If they conquered kingdomes slew the people and raced cities unto the grounde it was by the commandement of God For such kingdomes people and provinces lived prejudiciall to the honor of God But who commanded thee ô Spaine to come to make war upon Englishmen If it were by the commandement of God and for their idolatrie give us testimonie and shew us the place where God spake and shew us thy Moyses thy Ioshua or thy Gideon and if it were by ill counsellers punish them and repent thee of that which is done and amend from hence foorth I would gladly know which of these two causes stirred up this war whether the commandement of God or ill counsell To the first I saie if thou saiest it was by the cōmandement of God that thou errest in so saieng sith heaven earth shall faile but the word of God shall never faile and so had his divine Majestie commanded thee to come he had given thee victorie he gave it thee not then he was not pleased with thy comming He promised the land of promise to the children of Israel and though the countrie was strong and the defenders strong and many and they weake and weary yet he gave it them and to thee would he have given this Iland had he promised it thee Besides this thy comming could not be acceptable to God neither was it with his consent For God now is not a blouddy God but a God of love he punisheth not nowe in a strong arme as he was woont under that hard lawe but with a hand of compassion and thy comming was throwing lightnings thunders and thunder bolts and saieng let them die let them die let not a man remaine alive a matter most abhominable to God ergo without his consent That God commanded the captaines of his people to destroy the gods altars wals and groves of their enimies and to put them to the sword the cause was as I saide a little before bicause God was offended and dishonored by them But we according to the povertie of our strength blesse give God thanks and the honor that is his we give it not to creatures Then it is likely he would not command us to be destroied by thy wrathfull hand When his people of Israell committed idolatrie he put them into his enimies hands and when they acknowledged their sin he delivered them But God delivered not his people of England into the hands of the Spanyards then God cōmanded them not to com against England neither is this kingdome an enimie to God The Gentiles had many gods but Englishmen onely one God Father Sonne and holie Ghose three persons and one onlie true God omnipotent and creator of the universall And in such sort we beleeve in this God that we confound not the persons for one person is of the Father another of the Sonne another of the holie Ghost and so we beleeve three persons that yet we make not three Gods but one God as the scripture doth teach us where he saith Heare ô Israel the Lord our God is Lord onely He nameth God three times bicause he consisteth of three persons and bicause these three persons are one God and not three gods he saith is Lord onely and for that of this blessed Trinitie the second person was incarnate and clothed himselfe with our humanitie for our salvation therefore he saith in the second place our God If then we have one God whose pursons we confound not and whose substance we separate not and say that this God cloathed himselfe with our miseries for our salvation and reconciled us with the everlasting father whom according to our small power we worship and serve and obeie him according to his lawes and not after the lawes of men Then we have not manie gods with the Gentiles neither are we idolators why God should send you to make war upon us and hence I conclude that seeing God sent you not that it is the second cause that mooved you Which is ill counsellers who mooved by some secret hatred deceiving their king and destroie his kingdome The destroiers of kings and kingdomes are ill counsellers Three hundred yeeres the Romanes made wars upon thee yet never werst thou overcome of them but alwaies victor till such time as ill counsellers deceived thee sowing in thee hatred and division The ill counsels of the false prophets destroied Iezabel Achab and others And so thee ô Spaine have thy il counsellers and false prophets washed and destroied One of the chiefest causes why thou hast obtained so many victories against Turkes Moores the French and other nations hath bin bicause of thy good counsellers the conservation of the prince and people depends upon good counsell And so many honorable personages have exalted manie for their good counsell and utterly rejected il counsellers and flatterers Octavius Augustus gave the dignity of Consulship to the philosopher Frontonius with sundry other dignities for giving good counsel Marcus Antonius caused a Statua to be erected which might remaine for a memorie for the celebration of his name for the excellencie of his learning and good counsels as recordeth Iulius Capitolinus The Emperor Domitian made Scillus oftentimes Consul for his good counsell as may be gathered by certaine verses of Martial Trajan caried with him in his chariot triumphall Dion Prusio as affirmeth Suidas for his good
