conscience sake what I thinke and knowe withoute suspicion of flatterie or hope of benefyt Therefore I haue suppressed my name that my penne might be the freer VVherfor if thou thiÌ„kest that either I speake more then I thynke or do that I do for any hope of benefite thou doest me wrong in misiudging and hir great iniury in not beleuing If I should reherse al thynges which myght put vs in hope of hir good godly and vertuous reigne I shoulde peruse hir wholle lyfe paste But that were to longe and rather perteyneth to the Storie to be wrytten of hir The quenes bringing vp then to this argumeÌ„t wherfore I wil only touch one or 2. things to giue goodmeÌ„ good occasioÌ„ to gesse at the rest It is knoweÌ„ to al meÌ„ howe vertuosly and virginly keshe hath bene brought vp what wise honest discrete sober and godly women she hath had about her howe she hath bene trained in learning and that not vulgare and common but the purest and the best which is most coÌ„mended at these dais as the tonges artes and gods word wherin she so excedingly profited as I my selfe can wytnes that vii year past she was not in the best kind of learning inferior to those that al theyr lyse tyme had ben brought vp in the vniuersities and were counted iolly felowes So that it is lyke that nowe she is not meanlye instructed and armed with good letters If then learnyng and the coÌ„uersation with such as be wyse and honest fashioneth and frameth the mynde as Plato sayth and maketh it tractable as waxe to prynt in good images of vertues and modest maners And commonly wel tilled land bryngeth forth good frutes we must nedes conceiue great hope yea in a manner be assured that as she hath passed many of our kynges and alour Quenes in these good studies and Sciences so she must nedes exceede them in the rest of her lyfe and gouern ment And that you may vnderstand that there hath not bene nor is in her learnyng without nature and knowledge without towardnes to practise I wyl tel you what I haue credebly hearde and assuredly beleue of her For I woulde wyshe of God that all men knew by her asmuch as I do that thei might coÌ„ceiue of her the same opinion that I haue Her first scholemaster with whome I was familiar a maÌ„ very honest and learned The Quenes schole maisters ansvver emongst other talke which we had of her for I was curious in questioniÌ„g and he gentle in answeringe tolde me once that he learned eueri day more other then she of him It semed to me a mistery as in dede it was but because he wold not kepe me in doubt he thus expounded it I teach her wordes quod he and she me things I teache her the tongues to speake and her modest and maidenly life teacheth me workes to do For saith he I think she is the best inclined and disposed of any in all Europe It semed to me a goodly commendacion of her and a witty saying of him and therfor not to be forgotten In like maner an Italian An ItaliaÌ„s sayinge of the Quene which taught her his tonge thoughe that nacion lightlye praise not out of their own country said once to me that he founde in her ii qualities whiche are neuer lightly yock fellowes in one woman whiche were a singuler witte and a meruelous meeke stomacke I would haue thoughte that these men had thus commended her because she was their mistresse but by certaine knowledge other waies I vnderstode that it was true and that they might haue said much more and not haue lied This dispositioÌ„ and godly towardnes being in her then can not now be but muche encreased by continuaunce of study hauing about her such as feare God increasing in yeares and taught bi affliction which as Dauid saith bringeth vnderstaÌ„ding and in a nother place Psal 104. Bonum mihi domine quod humiliasti me It is my great profite Lorde that thou hast brought me lowe The Quenes aduersitie for hereby I haue learned thy law and of this I think no English man is ignorant that her affliction hath ben far aboue the condicioÌ„ of a kings daughter For there was no more behind to make a very Iphigenia of her but her offring vp vpon the altare of the Scaffolde How she behaued her selfe in those stormes and tempestes let them wytnesse who beyng hir aduersaries hadde the muynge of her I wyll saye nothynge though I coulde saye muche But this I see and therefore muste saye that than she muste nedes be in hir affliction maruelous pacient whiche sheweth hir selfe now in this prosperitie to be vtterly without desyre of reuenge or els she would haue geuen some token or this daye of remembraunce howe she was handled It was no smal iniurie that she suffered in the protectors dayes wheÌ„ certen venymous vipers spued oute their poyson against hir to dymynishe hir honour The Quenes assliction in the protectors daies But God hir father and defender made hir so muche the more to enter in to the hartes of good people howe muche the earnestlyer they wente aboute to harme hir VVas it no wrong think you that she susteyned of late dayes to be first a prysoner in her owne house and garded with a sorte of cutthrotes whiche euer gaped for the spoyle of hir house that they myght haue bene fyngeryng of sum what Then with great solempniti The Quene coÌ„mitted to the Tour. with bandes of harnessed hangemeÌ„ happie was he that might haue the carying of hir to be setched vp as the greatest traytour in the worlde hoisted into the tower there kept not lyke a kynges doughter and a Quenes sister but as one that hadde come out of Turkey to betraye Englande VVhat assemblies and counselles VVhat examinacions and rackynges of poore men was there to fynde out the knyfe that shoulde cutte hir throte what gaping among my Lordes of the clargie to see the daye wherein they myght washe their goodly whyte ratchettes in her innocent bloude thinckinge that then none shoulde be spared for they sawe the bloude of the father wash of the Scaffold the daughters bloud the husbandes the wifes the yonger brothers the elders and so one after an other tyll the hangemanne was wearye VVhen they sawe that so much woode was spente in Smith fielde about holy Martirs sacrificed to the God in the boxe that poore folckes for lacke died for colde in London when they sawe the streates of London so decked and adourned wyth Gallowes and behanged with gentlemens carcases that my L. of London coulde not haue place to goo a procession when they sawe all these notable tragedies wherein no respecte was hadde neither of sexe nor kynred neither of age nor innocency neither of noble nor vnnoble had not these ratchetters good cause to hope that this blessed woman shoulde haue followed and so they haue bene out of feare of thys daye whiche is

him ouercame hym that hadde before ouercome all other cutte of his head and thrust it into a vesselful of bloud saying drinke thy fill vvhiche hast euer so thirsted bloud In this story by the vvay is to be noted that if kings be vvovvers and no speders there can be small hope that they vvill be faithfull friendes after For greate men can not beare great repulses specially vvhen their povver is
