King Henry of famous memory the eight that no Kingdome in the earth more flourished His sonne the Father of our Elizabeth was to his Enemies dreadfull to his friends gracious vnder whose Ensigne the Emperour himselfe serued so potent a Prince he was besides so liberall and bounteous that he seemed like the Sunne in his Meridian to showre downe gold round about the Horizon But hee died too and left vs three Princely hopes all which haue seuerally succeeded other royallie maintaining the right of England and resisted with power all forraine wrong For King Edward our late Soueraignes Brother though he died young in yeeres left instance hee was no Infant in vertues his learning towardnes and zeale was thought fitter for the societie of Angels than men with whom no doubt his spirit liues eternally Such assurance haue wee of the happines of that royall gracious and worthy Ladie Mary his eldest sister who in her death exprest the care of her Kingdomes so much lamenting one Townes losse that she told her attendant Ladies if they would rip her heart when shee was dead they should finde Callice written in it O Thenot with all you other Nymphs and Swaines setting by her affection to Papall religion wherein shee was borne and liued learne by this worthy Queene the care of Soueraignes how heart-sick they are for their subiects losse and think what felicity wee poore wormes liue in that haue such royall Patrons who cark for our peace that we may quietly eate the bread of our owne labour and tend our flocks in safetie asking of vs nothing but feare and duty which humanity allowes and heauen commaunds With this Thenot interrupted Collin telling him there were a number of true shepheards misliked that Princes life and ioyed greatly at her death withall beginning to shew some reasons but Collin quickly interrupted him in these words Peace Thenot peace Princes are sacred things It fits not Swaines to thinke amisse of Kings For saith he the faults of Rulers if any be faultie are to be reprehended by them that can amend them and seeing none is superiour to a King but God to him alone referre their actions And where thou termest them true shepheards that so enuied that Ladies gouernment thou art deceiued for the true shepheards indeede that suffered in her time by the malice of Romish Prelates prayed hartily for her euen in the fire and taught the people to obey her gouernment but such as rayld at her are still as they then were proud phanatike spirited counterfaites expert in nothing but ignorance such as hate all rule for who resisteth correction more than fooles though they deserue it most Beleeue mee Thenot and all you well affected Swaines there is no greater marke for a true shepheard to be knowne by than Humilitie which God hee knowes these mad men most want too much experience haue wee of their threed-bare pride who bite the dead as liuing Curres may Lyons not contented with their scandals of that Royal Lady our late Soueraignes Sister but they haue troubled the cleare springs of our Mistresse Elizabeths blessed gouernment nay my selfe haue seene and heard with glowing eares some of them euen in the fields of Calydon when his Excellence that is now our Emperiall shepheard was onely Lord of their foldes speake of his Maiestie more audaciouslie malapertly than any of vs would doe of the meanest officer For as I said euen now if Rulers chance to slip it is most vnsufferable that euery impudent rayler should with the breath of his mouth stirre the chaffie multitude whose eares itch for nouelties whose mindes are as their numbers diuers not able to iudge themselues much lesse their Soueraignes But they ought if they be true Pastors to follow the great Pan the Father of all good shepheards Christ who teacheth euery of his Swaines to tell his brother priuatly of his fault and againe and againe by that glorious number three including numbers numberlesse before it be tolde the Church If then they must being true shepheards deale so with their brethren how much more ought their followers doe to their Soueraignes being Kings and Queenes And not in the place where sacred and morall manners should be taught contrarily to teach the rude to be more vnmannerly instructing euery Punie to compare with the most reuerend Prelate and that by that example to haue euerie Cobler account himselfe a King Oh said Thenot Collin there are some would ill thinke of you should they heare you thus talke for they reproue all out of zeale and must spare none Peace to thy thoughts Thenot answered Collin I know thou knowest there is a zeale that is not with knowledge acquainted but let them and their mad zeale passe let vs forget their raylings against Princes And beginne with her beginning after her Royall Sisters ending who departing from this earthly Kingdome the seuenteenth of Nouember in the yeere of our Lord 1558. immediatlie thereupon Elizabeth the hand-maide to the Lord of Heauen and Empresse of all Maides Mothers Youth and men then liuing in this English Earth was proclaimed Queene with generall applause being much pittied for that busie slander and respectlesse enuie had not long before brought her into the disfauour of her Royall Sister Mary whom wee last remembred In the continuance of whose displeasure stil stil made greater by some great Enemies how she scap't needes no repeating being so wel knowne Preserued shee was from the violence of death her blood was precious in the sight of GOD as is the blood of all his Saints it was too deere to be poured out like water on the greedy earth she liued and wee haue liued vnder her fortie and odde yeeres so wonderfully blest that all Nations haue wondred at their owne afflictions and our prosperity and shee died as she liued with vs still careful of our peace finishing euen then the greatest wonder of all our deserts considered by appointing the Kingdome to so iust and lawfull a Ruler to succeede her whom all true English knew for their vndoubted Lord immediatly after her death But least wee end ere we begin I wil returne to her who being seated in the Throne of Maiestie adorned with all the vertues diuine and morall appeared to vs like a goodly Pallace where the Graces kept their seuerall Mansions First faith aboundantly shone in her then young lost not her brightnes in her age for shee beleeued in her Redeemer her trust was in the King of Kings who preserued her as the Apple of his eye from all treacherous attempts as many being made against her life as against any Princesse that euer liued yet she was stil confident in her Sauiour whose name shee glorified in all her actions confessing her victories preseruings dignities to be all his as appeared by many luculent examples this one seruing for the rest that after the dissipation of the Spanish Armatho accounted inuincible shee came in person to Paules crosse and there among the meanest of
