peace the common and equall distribution of Iustice the familiar cherishing of Nobilitie the good preseruing and loue of the Commonaltie the mutuall and tender kindnes at home the amitie and awe abroade the swéete enioying of all these happie commodities match héerewith the danger and feare of loosing them how can it then be but that the minde shalbe meruailouslie distracted Great and full of diuersities are the fittes of a passioned Louer but yet greatest where reason rulest least Farre greater to a good minde must be the panges of consideration in this case but yet greatest where reason

of those thinges and persons that he holdeth dearest yea and of his posteritie for euer worke more mighty violent continuall effects in the mind of an honest good man that setteth his thoughtes vpon iust and assured groundes All these contemplations cannot but fill a good Christians and a good Subiects eie with sight and knowledge how vnestimable a treasure our noble and vertuous Quéene Elizabeth is to the Realme of England and the same cannot but pierce his heart with strong feare care for her preseruation so farre as surely it were able as in the dumbe borne sonne of Cresus breake the stringes of a tyed tongue to drawe spéeche out of the most barbarous and rudest Subiect to crie out at her Highnesse peryll and with such noyse as he is able to make though it were but as a Goose of the Capitole to giue warning to the watchmen of the Tower of our safetie This hath mooued me to forget how vnskylfull and how vnapt I am to treate of matters so farre aboue me and only to remember how méet it is for all men to thinke of those things that touch them so néerely when they haue from point to point made due examination of them to ring out the larum bell of good councell to their Country or giue them some watch-word of passed perils wherby they may the better preuent imminent extremities wherein they may both manifest the care they haue of theyr Princes safetie as also the vnfeined affection they beare to theyr Countrie It hath béene and yet remayneth extant to be séene the many and sundrie disordered attemptes which haue threatned daunger to her Maiesties most royall person and perill to the whole state ingenerall whereby many good mindes haue béene greatlie discomforted and those bad spirites which haue thirsted and laboured in these vnduetifull actions haue béene encouraged to runne on in their disloyall determinations A thing much to be lamented that in the Sun-shine of so many happy blessinges whereof this Realme so long time together neuer héeretofore tasted such wicked and malitious natures should bréede amongst vs both to ouerthrowe our selues and the quietnesse of a number well affected It is good for such wilfull heads to take héede in time and that the ouerthrowe of such seditious practises wherewith this Realme from time to time hath béen too much troubled may remaine for a warning to them and in middest of their secret confederacies to remember this that to exalt their hearts against Gods annointed is the verie ready way to bring themselues to confusion The onely roote and originall of such vnnaturall humours in men is Treason which of all other things is most odious in the sight of God and amongst men hath least prosperous successe for proofe whereof and because this Watch-word may the more déepelie enter the thoughts and cogitations of them to whose handes it shall happen it shall not be much amisse for mée to make repetition of former tretcherous practises and withall to declare their end and successe which happilie may cause some men to alter their bad affections and séeing the accidentes that hath héeretofore chaunced in their owne Countrie they may forsake those contrarie natures whereby they are gouerned and so in time shew themselues more vehement in duetie In the raigne of King Richard the first THere was one William Fitz Osbert a Cittizen of London a man but of poore and meane degrée yet endued with a

Kinges and Princes in their seates and Signories and by whose appointment they haue their ruling on earth dooth sharply chastise such wicked braunches as deale otherwise then beséemes them with their

either by especiall name as he dooth or generallie vnder tytle of Heretiques of which sort he estéemeth her then hath he therin doone Pro suo iure as he might lawfullie doo And this being so supposed true then is it good to consider what is taken for Gods lawe and the lawe Ecclesiasticall De vitandis excommunicatis for shunning of excommunicate and accurssed persons which yéeld not to any repentaunt submission or reconciliation to the Church Forsooth that euery christian on paine of excōmunication De iure wherin to dye is thought to dye in state of damnation is bound to withdrawe from such accurssed persons not repenting all fréendlie or louing company and countenaunce all ayde and reléefe all seruice and obedience Which dooing for these good Subiectes of England to put in execution toward the Quéene were a verie meritorious acte But what dooth it merite The iust paines of treason for breaking their due alleageaunce and eternall damnation if they repent not for resisting Gods lawfull ordinaunce This géere goeth sore it is verie euident and plaine that by necessarie consequence to this confession of trayterousnesse they must be driuen if they will continue Papistes that is will affirme the Popes sentences not to erre or will giue the Pope any spirituall iurisdiction in England But such salues are not vnlyke to come out of his shoppe that dispenseth with breach of faith yea that openlie proclaymeth that there is no faith to be kept with Christs fréends and his aduersaries His shoppe that can send out badges with leaue to sweare and vnsweare with so lyberall permission as to saye Giue me thy heart and it suffyseth And well may it suffise for the heart will carrie the hand too when oportunitie serueth and when their Golden day approcheth of which they make so great account Such fellowes would be well looked on And because they cannot gette her Highnesse to ceasse to be their lawfull Quéene themselues haue ceassed to be her actuall Subiectes Because they cannot shifte her Maiestie from her Crowne they haue shifted themselues out of her Highnesse Dominions and are fled beyond the Seas Some being there send hyther their hereticall seditious traiterous Bookes yet licenced there against good president of Princes and against the example of her Maiesties demeanour toward the same Princes which by themselues or their Officers rather ought to haue restrained such dooings then to leaue so shrewd occasion of taking harme themselues by the like In these Bookes her right is impugned her faith is defamed her gouernement is discredited her honour is touched her Maiestie is many wayes violated and abated the Religion that her Highnesse holdeth and publisheth is called Scismaticall Hereticall Deuillish and with as many yll fauoured names as they can rehearse being yet in such eloquence perfect Oratours The Preachers and professours of the Religion that her Highnesse setteth foorth and professeth are tearmed wurse then Infidels her tytle of Supremacie ouer all her Subiectes is defaced for an vsurped and vndue name and her Subiectes hearts alienated and perswade to grudge against her These wicked and trayterous Pamphlettes want no fauourers to spread them abroade nor doo they that disperse them lacke any boldnesse to reade them in audiences in corners where they commend them defend them giue them great prayses for learning and substantialnesse as matters vnaunswerable when God he knowes there is no such surpassing excellencie in them as they that haue the spurres yet sticking in theyr sides and haue béene broken winded with ouer gallopping them yea they that are of their owne faction haue not béen ashamed to speake it how notablie they haue béen wounded by many of her Maiesties learned subiectes Neuerthelesse they continue writing still and all pretences that both the Pope and Papistes can deuise are daily and hourely spread abroad in the Realme to weaken the good willes of her Maiesties Subiects toward her and by all false and vaine coullers they can imagine they practise how to drawe more subiectes to take their parts But in the meane time as God gathereth his glorie out of all things yea euen out of sinnes so England out of this great euill thou maist gather some good a good example and good lesson for thée to learne that Papistrie is treason and he that is infected with treason is a traitour and so prouide against them héerafter Let them folow what humours they please doo thou in the meane time take a contrarie course Where they looke for an other time doo thou endeuour to maintaine this time Where they reach with expectation to altering of gouernement doo thou bend all thy force policie and meanes of seruice to the defence of this estate Where they pray for change specially of Quéenes do thou pray for the long and happy continuaunce of her Highnesse raigne Where they hide rebellious stomackes doo thou and thy Children shewe true and faithfull hearts Where they desire that her Maiestie and her Councell may be deceiued with flattering erronious pretence of policie and couller of clemency that vnder y e shadowe they may lurke and be nourished as serpent in bosome doo thou praye to God to giue iudgement to discerne them to search the bottome of their treasons that they may be shaken out vsed as daungerous vipers Where their trust is in the Pope and popish treasons and conspiracies let thy confidence be in God and his prouidence not shrinking from the same with thy best courage and prudence Where they will not sticke to vse all subtill vndermininges and will not lose the vauntage of times that they may one daye triumph in cruel violence doo thou pray that on this part be vsed all good policies that Gods offered meanes and good oportunitie be not refused and ouerslipped that God rent not the Kingdome from his annointed for sparing of his enimies but that it maye long flourishe in the handes of his most noble and vertuous handmaid our most excellent and gratious Soueraigne Lady Thus is it euident by reasons and examples what hearts Papistes beare to her Maiestie The third Conclusion that such Englishe Papistes are traitours to the Realme of England c. hath receiued two prooues already the one in the general treasons of all Papistes to all Realmes wherein England and Englishe Papistes are included the other in their traiterous mindes to the Quéenes Maiesties person and dignitie which is the highest treason that can be to the Realme of England Yet are there some other perticular dooinges more speciallie to enforce it namelie the experience that hath béene of their casting away the care of their Countrie and all other naturall affections to the ende with all immanitie and outragious vnnaturall crueltie to torment Englishe Christians and to subiect the Realme to forreine power for their false religions sake I am assured there are enow and too many that can remember both that they haue read in credible Histories and
