that which bookes have given me which are certaine counsailes by meane whereof it may be you shall live lesse troublesome and not so much abhord whersoever I come I heare that your Honor is an enimie to peace unquiet To the first I answere that Et ex consequenti you are an enimie to God When Christ our Redeemer departed from his disciples amongst other gifts which he gave them and free mercies bestowed upon them he gave them his peace and it was neither the peace of the world nor that of Iudas for these are peaces of death and damnation unwoorthily called peace but such a peace as was a pledge of blessednes Blessed are the peace-makers saith the Gospell I might alleage manie places to shew how gratefull that peace is unto God and they that love it and how he abhorreth the contemners thereof and so I admonish your Honor to cloath your selfe with peace and let it be that of Christ which saveth and not that of Iudas which betraieth nor that of the world which killeth To the second that I am informed you are troublesome I answere that if for the first you are an enimie to God that by this you are the like unto Heaven and for confirmation of this truth you must understand that of divers sences divers are the objects So that according to Aristotle one sence cannot judge directly of the object of an other sence for the taste judgeth not of the colour nor the sight of the taste rather beholding Sugar we judge it to be white and tasting it we judge it to be sweete So they that have the earth for object cannot judge well of Heaven and they who live according to the flesh comprehend not the sweetnes of the spirit they that go intangled in the affaires of the world and seated in their wiles attaine not the delectation of spirituall repose Such is your Honor who being entred into the laberinth of the restlesse labors of life you cannot make an end to knowe the sweetnes of the tranquillitie of life it selfe Open your eies and behold that much selfe trust groweth not but of small knowledge and you shall see that the first degree for a man to know little is to suppose that he knoweth much I hold that for a most certaintie which Saint Hierom saith that the acknowledging of imperfection is a certaine kind of perfection in a man regard that it is not a small matter for a man to know that he knoweth nothing And if your Honor knew this of your selfe you would become peaceable and live a quiet life and so be accounted quiet Where the river goeth stillest there hath it most water and is deepest and where it maketh most noise there hath it least water so the quiet and still man is of great depth and is to be holden and accounted of greatly and he that prates much is he that doth least for the ignorant have great sound and small depth The wise are free from passions far from molestations and full of tranquillitie So then to have a share in heaven a good life on earth and to be accounted wise it is to be quiet and a peace-maker And now let the former turmoiles suffice and the hurt that you have already done unto Spaine by your unquietnes giving hir so ill counsell making hir to leese Armada treasure munition credit and reputation and that which is more to be lamented so many thousands of soules for verily Spaine should have been full both of men and monie were it not for so long and costly wars and altogither unprofitable Whereby it had been better for thee ô Spaine to have contented thee with thy towe than to have desired the hollands of Flanders where there is scant a span of earth that hath not been watered with the blood of thy Spaniards And to have contented thee with thy pots of clay rather than to have lusted for the silver dishes of English men which are so hardly gotten I thought also heere to advertise you more at large than I did in my answer to your letter concerning the few friends which heer you have rather I put you out of doubt that you are to make no account of them no not to thinke that you have a friend in London to proove this to be true I wil availe my selfe with that saieng of Saint Paul who saith that Charitie wel ordred must begin in himselfe If then this be so who would you have to be such a friend to your Honor that he should cease to bee a friend to himselfe his wife children and substance May you bee persuaded that your friendes heere shoulde open their doores to their enimies to the end to rob them of their goodes for in very truth not one in this kingdome though he had a safe conduct from your Honor should have escaped from being robbed slaine or dishonored If this then be true how can you hope for any friends heer Rather in truth if you would consider and open your eies you shall see that all are your mortall enimies If it be the dutie of a friend to deale trulie and he that writes you most newes doth notso then have you heere no friend As also he is no friend that requireth of his friend what is unjust and unlawfull and this the verie Gentiles understood for so Marcus Tullius teacheth even as I speake it in his booke of Friendship and before him Pericles taught the same when a certaine friend requested him to affirme a lie for him and that with an oth he answered him saieng It is lawful to be a friend yet no farther than the altar And so recordeth Plutarch Aulus Gellius and Bruson Pericles ment that friendship was good and woorthie to be conserved with gifts given and received but that it should be in such sort that it should not be against the good liking of God For friends ought not to impugne religion nor passe the limits of conscience friends are bound to do one for another so that their good works passe not the bounds of reason nor the limits of vertue Publius Rutilius denied a certaine friend a matter bicause it was unjust which made his friend to say Why should I account of thy friendship if thou wilt not do as I request thee And Rutilius replied But why should I make account of thine sith thou requestest me that which I ought not to do Authors heerof are Valerius Maximus in his sixt booke and Brusonius in his first Sith therefore your Honor demandeth unjust things of English men as are to admit entrance to their enimies and to suffer themselves to be robbed dishonored massacred and to be traitors to their Soveraigne how can you challenge them for your friends True friends ought to be just and to love the soules of their friends better than their bodies to be more affectionate to their soules than to their substance and more to their consciences than to their lives

upon George Seguin of Callis To all this I say that it is better to be slandered by the wicked for being vertuous than by being evill to be hated of the good I will put an end to the answering of these five Letters for that I have sufficiently done it and for that I may have some time to answer the blinde man the toong and publisher of them onely putting Spaine in mind of a marvellous policie observed by the Lacedemonians who the better to conserve themselves established a lawe that none should be so bold to invent any noveltie in the Common weale And as this law was upon a time broken by a famous musicion called Tependarus whose transgression was that his instrument whereon he used to play being of five orders he added a string and made it of sixe a noveltie offending none neither did it good or harme to the Commonweale neither altered it the minds of the citizens for all this him they banished the Common-weale and brake the instrument in pieces With how much more reason then deere Spaine maist thou bereave the lives of these inventors of false novelties written so much in thy prejudice and the pen inkhorne and paper which served to that use to burne them in the market place Receive this ô Spaine from him that bewailes thy weepings widowes moorning attire and thy scattered small orphans remaining without their fathers aide and consider how far better it had been for thee to have imploied such a puissant Armada against infidels than against Christians baptized in the name of the Father the Sonne and the holie Ghost redeemed by the blood of Christ from whom commeth all our weale and to whom we yeeld infinite thanks and praise for ever and ever Amen An end to the answer of the Letters with a briefe true and Christian relation of that which was done in England after the departure of the Armada THis victorie thus obtained the whole kingdom of England by the commandement of hir Majestie was imploied in spirituall plaies wherein was nothing els represented than thanks-giving to God singing of Psalms and preaching the Gospell and to this spirituall exercise repaired all both small and great poore and rich and this endured for certaine daies and at the length the Queenes sacred Majestie accompanied with the Nobles as Earles Lords Barons Knights and Gentlemen of the land came unto the church of Saint Paule where she was received of the Bishops and other Ministers in whose presence with great reverence solemnitie and devotion there was giving of thanks to God preaching the divine word singing sundry Psalms of which I will onely name this himne The Himne Te Deum laudamus and so foorth WE praise thee O God we knowledge thee to be the Lord.
