of his most noble auncestor King Henrie the seventh who in answere of the same doubt affirmed to his honorable counsell that he made no question if any such thing should fall out but the Scottish king beeing as all Princes are by their royall nature enclined to Maiestie to statelines to eloquence to policie to civilitie should frame and conforme himselfe to the better countrie be taken with a liking of the more honorable discipline fashions and carriage of England the rather for that hee hath so ample and large a rewarde proposed to him for the same The meanest Scottishmen that are setled in England are content to forget their countrie kindred Parents and to frame and apply themselves vnto vs that they may freelie enjoy their poore condition or calling And is it like that hee who may still retaine his subjectes his countrie his Queene and children will not apply himself to vs in our lawfull and honourable desires that hee may rule vs Likenesse of manners doeth conciliate and fasten affections Therefore for mine owne part I doubt not but ere he haue beene any long time with vs he shall be so wonne to vs englished with vs by our naturall and reverent obedience to our Prince aboue other Nations and by al the verteous and commendable parts of our civilitie that Scotland shall haue more cause to feare their subiection to some Englishe deputie then wee haue nowe to feare our subiection to the Scots Trulie I mervaile not a little when I do consider how vnwilling and froward wee are to receiue that kingdome beeing offered which we haue fought for moste egerlie for manie hundreth yeers Is not this the way to subordinate if not to subdue to vs that people by policie whome wee coulde not by force Who beares the losse when we get the gain They depart with the best member that their bodie can afforde that they may become one bodie with vs. And to speake as I thinke in taking their King wee take also their kingdome which was wiselie foreseene of the afore-said Prince who stoode perswaded that the worthier kingdome would annexe and drawe to it the lesser and weaker and for the same purpose his moste famous sonne King Henrie the eight did earnestlie affect and go about at severall times by promises policies giftes and threatninges to vnite the two Realmes and their two Princes first when with the allegation and aunswere of this our doubt hee made offer of his onlie daughter and heire Ladie Mary to king Iames the fift the place of Holins is worth the reading And after when he sought in mariage for Prince Edward his sonne the young Princesse the late Queene of Scotland so as the refusall of the first and breache of the last beeing once agreed vppon was the occasion of bitter warres and great blood-shed betweene the two nations And nowe the difference is no other then this that wee did seek before to annexe them vnto vs and that they do seeke now to be annexed vnto vs. Therfore the ods is ours that they who did latelie refuse to giue vs their Queene are now most willing and content that wee doe take their King Wherein in my opinion we should bee as forward to receiue them as they are willing to make offer of themselves seeing it is plaine by proofe of experience that we shall no lesse keep our preheminence aboue the Scots though wee submit our selves to the Scottish king then wee haue kept it to this present day over the Walsh-men notwithstanding wee did submit our selves to King Henrie the seaventh Yet on the part wee are not to think or expect that he will quite abandon or banish them froÌ„ being about him for that were rather to rent them of from vs then to encorporate them with vs in one Politicke bodie The second point for the commodity it will bee much more then the bare encrease of subjectes if the opinion of a most faithfull and wise counseller as any this land hath may haue anie credite with vs who thought it the onlie safetie of England to stand fullie assured of our back dore And indeede wee had never more neede to haue it fast then at this time being environed and compassed about with so manie malicious and hatefull enemies as in a manner having no faster friends then such as are our friends for their owne advantage which giveth me occasion to distrust greatlie this new confirmed league with the French king which notwithstanding I wishe it may stand alwaies inviolable yet I greatlie feare by the president of former experience that it will no longer stand then the FreÌ„ch-meÌ„ may see how to help themselves better by newe friendship be it with This prophecv of that prudent man is now prooved true Spaniards or others And if we account it a great benefite that the Scottish king is not our enemie in these broken times is it not to be esteemed a thousand times a greater benefite to haue him made as fast and sure to vs as if he were our countrie-man or natiue English-man borne and one of our selves and that we be encreased and made vp with the accesse of his strength and kingdome by which we shall be so fenced and fortressed on that quarter without our charges or imployment of our men as now we are forced to doe that no port or part of Engl. shall be surer Nay whereas now we are driven to seeke the amitie and in a sort beg the favour of forrain nations yea of the heathen and Turkes and with infinite charges and lose of our men to entertaine their friendship beeing once enlarged and strengthened with the forces power of Scotland wee shall not neede to currie favour with Mahomet or Muscovite or weigh the displeasure or offence of all the Princes in the world And Ireland which now stealing furniture and provision of munition from thence doth with flashing flames of rebellion consume our people and emptie our coffers shall then being not onelie destitute of that aide but having it all emploied against it self be content with lesser charges then the owne revenewes to bee ruled and to be kept in loyall obedience having England on the one side ScotlaÌ„d on the other to command it Thus our treasures powers shal be encreased our people spared our subsidies eased our charges abated Lastlie the encrease of subiectes which some esteeme but as a matter of small or no importance I affirme it to be the greatest coÌ„modity that anie kingdome could ever afford I haue for my warrat the words of as wise rich a king as ever did raigne who sayeth not Prov. 14 28. that wealth or riches but that the multitude of subiectes are the honour of the Prince and that for the want of subiects coÌ„meth the destruction of a Prince That is the multitude of subiects is the riches strength power protection stay of the kingdome and it is the cause of al things for which any state

A PITHIE EXHORTATION TO HER MAIESTIE FOR ESTABLISHING HER SVCCESSOR TO the crowne WHEREVNTO IS ADDED A DISCOVRSE containing the Authors opinion of the true and lavvfull successor to her Maiestie Both compiled by PETER WENTWORTH Esquire Prudens Princeps haeredem nominando Regno prospiciet si desit filius de successore seriÃ² cogitabit Ex Spart A wise Prince by naming his heire will provide for the safetie of his kingdome and if hee haue no sonne he will be the more carefull to establish his successor Out of Spart IMPRINTED 1598. Thomas Foley of Great Witley Court in the County of Worcester Esq. TO THE READER GOOD Reader the two Treatises ensuing were written by M. WENTWORTH whose zealous affection to the preservation of Religion his Prince countrie hath bene made better known to al her Maiesties good subjects by his patient and constant indurance for so good a cause as he maintained then it can be by any mans reporte or commendation In the former which by the advise of some friends he preferred to her Maiestie in forme of a supplication is prooved that for the safetie of the kingdomes of England and Scotland and of the Religion professed in them it is absolutelie necessarie that al the claimes and titles to the crowne of this Realme be tried by Parliament and that the rightfull successour to her highnesse be declared and confirmed nowe in her Maiesties life-time I doubt not but every religious and true hearted subiect is of his minde The latter declaring his opinion concerning the person of the true lawfull successor he sent to some privie friends at their instant request it may seeme strange that hee woulde venture to write it in respect of these ticklish times and of his present troubles for a lesser matter but yet there was strong reasons leading him to doe the same I haue published them both not so much to procure commendation praise to the dead though he iustlie deserue it for his most worthie parts as to worke a due regarde of right and equitie to the good and behoofe of all my countriemen and that he whose mouth was stopped from speaking the good which he would when he did liue might now without danger openlie proclaime the same though some would not after his death And as he was accustomed to say to his friends if it bee a duetie required of vs to communicate our knowledge in the meanest matters for mutuall instruction who in any good conscience can suppresse his knowledge in matters so greatly importing every private and publick estate of these Realmes yea both earthlie kingdomes and the kingdome of Christ For these respects I haue thought it expedient that hee who hath spoken in the Parliament with so great regarde and good liking of all the hearers shoulde nowe as it were with his owne mouth speak to all the subjects of England seing it is a matter that so greatly concerneth vs all I haue altered or suppressed no thing in either of them vnles it be titles and names of persons places words of courtesie which were not at al requisite to be knowne Some things I haue quoted in the margent for thy better vnderstanding being acquainted with his meaning and haue also englished some things for the help of the vnlearned Now for my self good Reader I speak my opinion in the trueth of my conscience that the Scottish King for anything I knowe hath the best right to succeede to our gracious and Soveraigne Ladie Wherein I am the more confirmed for that I know it to be the opinion of some meÌ„ who make as much conscience of their doings and haue as much wisdome law in their budgets as any man whatsoever that is in this land And to mee it seemeth a thing altogether needlesse yea voide of common sense and reason to fetch with so great adoe the branches and pedegrees from William the Conqueror Edward the first or Edward the third and to contend and to dispute a fresh for the houses of Lancaster and Yorke seeing all good men confesse that the right must haue beene in the children of Henrie the seaventh and Elizabeth eldest daughter to Edward the fourth And if by all our judgemeÌ„ts the two titles were in them most happily joined he must be vnhappie that would seek to dissolue them We haue paide too deare for pleading broken titles and other service will please God better then to purge this land with our bloode for our vnthankfulnesse of all the benefites which wee doe at this present enjoy But to goe a little further if her Maiestie had a daughter or sister I dare be bolde to avouche that none in all Engl. durst presume to speak against her yet she could not possibly haue any better rightor title I speak of the ground of it then the heires of the Lady Margaret Teuther may claime by her For if the right of the brother King Henrie the 8. and his children be good the right of his eldest sister Ladie Margaret and her heires cannot be badde for want of his issue hers must needes come in The acts and statutes wrested against the Scottish king are in my conceit by diverse sufficientlie answered The inconveniences pretended for barring him are but suspitions and surmises alleadged without any colourable ground and though they were true yet they were rather to be admitted then the manifest ruine of the Realms Finally I wish thee so to read these treatises of M. Wentworths as hee was accustomed to read other mens to wit to yeeld tot he reason and not to the man for if he or I be deceived it is enough that wee beare the blame of our owne error though wee bee not also burdened with thine and therefore do as thou will answere for it for I seek thy good and not to hurt thee Thus protesting that with my hart I desire hereby nothing more then the preservation and advancement of Religion the standing of my natiue Prince and countrie and that if I did knowe a better right then the Scottish kings I would vnfainedlie favour it I leaue thee for this matter to the gracious direction of the Almighty Fare-well Faults escaped in the printing Page 3. in the margent cause reade offence Pag. 6. in the margent 46. reade 49.
