of such base and vulgare note as those were which of late haue bene executed as in particular some by name are well knowen and not vnfit to bee remembred The first and chiefest by office was D. Heth that was Archbishop of Yorke and lord Chaunceler of England in Queene Maries time who at the first comming of her Maiestie to y e Crowne shewing himself a faithfull quiet subiect continued in both the sayde offices though in religion then manifestly differing and yet was he not restrayned of his libertie nor depriued of his proper lands and goods but leauing willingly both his offices liued in his owne house and inioyed all his purchased lands during all his naturall life vntill by very age he departed this world and then left his house liuing to his friendes an example of gentlenes neuer matched in Queene Maries time The like did one D. Poole that had bene Bishop of Peterborough an auncient graue person and a verie quiet subiect There were also others that had bene Bishoppes and in great estimation as D. Tunstall Bishop of Duresme a person also of very quiet behauiour There were also other D. White and D. Oglethorpe one of Winchester the other of Carlile Bishops and D. Thurleby and D. Watson yet liuing one of Ely the other of Lincolne Bishops not pressed with any capitall payne though they maintayned the Popes authoritie against the lawes of the realme and some Abbots as M. Fecknam yet liuing a person also of quiet courteous behauiour for a great time Some also were Deanes as D. Boxall Deane of Windsore a person of great modestie and knowledge D. Cole Deane of Paules a person more earnest then wise D. Reinolds Deane of Exceter and many such others hauing borne office and dignities in the Church and had made profession against the Pope which they began in Queene Maries time to change yet were they neuer to this day burdened with capitall peanes nor yet depriued of any their goods or proper liueloods but onely remoued from their Ecclesiasticall offices which they would not exercise according to the Lawes And most of them for a great time were retayned in Bishops houses in very ciuill and courteous maner without charge to themselues or their friends vntill the time that the Pope began by his Buls and messages to offer trouble to the realme by stirring of rebellion about which time onely some of these aforenamed being found busier in matters of state tending to stirre troubles then was meete for the common quiet of the Realme were remooued to other more priuate places where such other wanderers as were men knowen to moue sedition might bee restrained from common resorting to them to increase trouble as the Popes Bull gaue manifest occasion and yet without charging them in their consciences or otherwise by any inquisition to bring them into dāger of any capital law so as no one was called to any capitall or bloody question vpon matters of religion but haue all inioyed their life as the course of nature woulde and such of them as yet remayne may if they will not be authors or instruments of rebellion or sedition inioye the time that GOD and nature shall yeelde them without danger of life or member And yet it is worthy to be well marked that the chiefest of all these and the most of them had in the time of King Henrie the eight and King Edward the sixt either by preaching writing reading or arguing taught all people to condemne and abhorre the authoritie of the Pope yea they had many times giuen their othes publiquely against the Popes authoritie and had also yelded to both the said Kings the title of supreame head of the Church of England next vnder Christ which title the aduersaries doe most falsly write and affirme that the Queenes Maiestie doeth nowe vse a manifest lie and vntrueth And for proofe that these foresaide Bishoppes and learned men had so long time disauowed the Popes authoritie many of their bookes sermons against the Popes authoritie remayne printed to be seene in these times to their great shame and reproofe to change so often and specially in persecuting such as themselues haue taught and stablished to holde the contrary There were also and yet be a great nomber of others being lay men of good possessions and lands men of good credite in their countries manifestly of late time seduced to hold contrary opinions in religion for the Popes authoritie and yet none of them haue bene sought hitherto to be impeached in any poynt or quarrel of treason or of losse of life member or inheritance so as it may plainely appeare that it is not nor hath bene for contrarious opinions in religion or for the Popes authoritie as the aduersaries doe boldely and falsly publish that any persons haue suffered death since her Maiesties reigne and yet some of these sort are well knowen to holde opinion that the Pope ought by authoritie of Gods worde to be supreame and only head of the Catholique Church and onely to rule in all causes Ecclesiasticall and that the Queenes Maiestie ought not to be the gouernour ouer all her subiectes in her realme being persons Ecclesiasticall which opinions are neuerthelesse in some part by the laws of the realme punishable in some degrees yet for none of these poyntes haue any persōs bene prosecuted w t the charge of treasō or in danger of life And if thē it be inquired for what cause these others haue of late suffered death it is truely to be answered as afore is often remembred that none at all are impeached for treason to the danger of their life but such as do obstinately maintaine the contents of the Popes Bull afore mentioned which do import that her Maiestie is not the lawfull Queene of England the first and highest poynt of treason that al her subiects are discharged of their othes and obedience mother high poynt of treason and all warranted to disobey her and her laws a third and a very large poynt of treason And thereto is to be added a fourth poynt most manifest in that they would not disalow the Popes hostile proceedings in open warres against her Maiestie in her realme of Ireland where one of their companie D. Sanders a lewde scholler and subiect of England a fugitiue a principall companion and conspirator with the traitors and rebels at Rome was by the Popes speciall commission a commaunder as in forme of a Legate and sometime a treasorer or paymaster for those warres which D. Sanders in his booke of his Church monarchie did afore his passing into Ireland openly by writing gloriously auowe the foresaid Bull of Pius Quintus against her Maiestie to be lawfull and affirmeth that by vertue thereof one D. Mooreton an olde English fugitiue and conspirator was sent from Rome into the North partes of England to stirre vp the first rebellion there whereof Charles Neuill the late Earle of Westmerland

The Execution of Iustice in England for maintenaunce of publique and Christian peace against certeine stirrers of sedition and adherents to the traytors and enemies of the Realme without any persecution of them for questions of Religion as is falsely reported and published by the fautors and fosterers of their treasons xvii Decemb. 1583. ❀ Imprinted at London 1583. ❧ The Execution of Iustice in England for maintenance of publique and Christian peace c. IT hath bene in all ages and in all countries a common vsage of all offendors for the most part both great and small to make defence of their lewd and vnlawfull facts by vntruthes and by colouring and couering their deedes were they neuer so vile with pretences of some other causes of contrarie operations or effectes to the intent not onely to auoid punishment or shame but to continue vphold prosecute their wicked attempts to y e full satisfaction of their disordered and malicious appetites And though such hath bene the vse of all offendors yet of none with more danger then of Rebels traitours to their lawfull Princes Kings and countries Of which sort of late yeeres are specially to be noted certaine persons naturally borne subiects in the Realme of England and Ireland who hauing for some good time professed outwardly their obedience to their soueraigne Lady Queene Elizabeth haue neuerthelesse afterward bene stirred vp and seduced by wicked spirites first in England sundry yeres past and secondly and of later time in Ireland to enter into open rebellion taking armes and comming into the field against her Maiestie and her Lieutenants with their forces vnder banners displayed inducing by notable vntruthes many simple people to followe assist them in their traiterous actions And though it is very well knowen that both their intentions and manifest actions were bent to haue deposed the Queenes Maiestie from her Crowne and to haue traiterously set in her place some other whom they liked whereby if they had not bene speedily resisted they would haue committed great bloodsheddes and slaughters of her Maiesties faithfull subiects and ruined their natiue countrey Yet by Gods power giuen vnto her Maiestie they were so speedily vanquished as some few of them suffered by order of Lawe according to their deserts many and the greatest part vpon confession of their faultes were pardoned y e rest but they not many of the principall escaped into forreine countries there because in none or few places rebels and traitours to their naturall Princes and countries dare for their treasons chalenge at their first muster open comfort or succour these notable traitors and rebels haue falsely informed many Kings Princes and States and specially the Bishoppe of Rome commonly called the Pope from whome they all had secretely their first comfort to rebell that the cause of their fleeing from their countries was for the religion of Rome and for maintenance of the said Popes authoritie Whereas diuers of them before their rebellion liued so notoriously the most part of their liues out of all good rule either for honest maners or for any sense in religion as they might haue bene rather familiar with Catalyn or fauourers to Sardanapalus then accōpted good subiectes vnder any Christian Princes As for some examples of the heads of these rebellions out of England fled Charles Neuill Earle of Westmerland a person vtterly wasted by loosenesse of life by Gods punishment euen in the time of his rebellion bereaued of his children that should haue succeeded him in the Earledome and how his bodie is nowe eaten with vlcers of lewde causes all his companions do see that no enemie he had can wish him a viler punishment And out of Ireland ranne away one Thomas Stukeley a defamed person almost through all Christendome a faithlesse beast rather then a man fleeing first out of England for notable piracies and out of Ireland for trecheries not pardonable which two were the first ringleaders of the rest of the rebelles the one for England the other for Ireland But notwithstanding the notorious euill and wicked liues of these and others their confederates voide of all Christian religion it liked the Bishop of Rome as in fauour of their treasons not to colour their offences as themselues openly pretend to do for auoyding of common shame of the worlde but flatly to animate them to continue their former wicked purposes that is to take armes against their lawfull Queene to inuade her realme with forreine forces to pursue al her good subiects and their natiue countries with fire sworde for maintenance whereof there had some yeres before at sundrie times proceeded in a thundring sort Bulles excommunications other publique writings denouncing her Maiestie being the lawfull Queene and Gods anoynted seruant not to be the Queene of the realme charging and vpon paines of excommunication commanding all her subiects to depart from their natural alleageances wherto by birth and by othe they were bounde Prouoking also and authorising all persons of al degrees within both the realmes to rebell and vpon this antichristian warrant being contrarie to all the Lawes of God and man nothing agreeable to a pasturall officer not onely all the rabble of the foresaid traitors that were before fled but also all other persons that had forsaken their natiue countries being of diuers conditions and qualities some not able to liue at home but in beggerie some discontented for lacke of preferments which they gaped for vnworthily in Vniuersities other places some banckerupt Marchants some in a sort learned to contentions being not contented to learne to obey the Lawes of the lande haue many yeres running vp and downe from Countrey to countrey practised some in one corner some in an other some with seeking to gather forces and money for forces some with instigation of Princes by vntruethes to make warre vpon their natural countrey some with inwarde practises to murder the GREATEST some with seditious writings and very many of late with publique infamous libels ful of despitefull vile termes and poysoned lyes altogether to vpholde the foresaide antichristian and tyrannous warrant of the Popes Bull. And yet also by some other meanes to furder these intentions because they could not readily preuayle by way of force finding forreine Princes of better consideration and not readily inclined to their wicked purposes it was deuised to erect vp certeine schooles which they called Seminaries to nourish bring vp persons disposed naturally to sedition to continue their race and trade and to become seedmen in their tillage of sedition them to send secretly into these the Q. Maiesties realmes of England Ireland vnder secret Maskes some of Priesthood some of other inferior orders with titles of Seminaries for some of the meaner sort of Iesuites for the stagers and ranker sort such like but yet so warely they crept into the land as none brought the marks of their priesthoode
