TO THE RIGHT HONOVRABLE the Lord HENRY Earle of Douer Viscount ROCHFORD L. Hunsdon c. Right Honourable WHen I had finished this short Tractate which may bee rather styl'd a superficiall remembrance then an essentiall expression of the of the passages of Queene Elizabeth's Life in her minoritie I could not apprehend vnto whom the Patronage thereof might more iustly belong then to your Honour whose noble Grandfather Henry Lord Hunsdon after Lord Chamberlaine to her Maiestie her neere and deare Kinsman was the most constant Friend and faithfull Assistant in all her troubles and dangers who not onely imploy'd his whole industry and made vse of his best Friends but liberally expended his means hazarded his owne person as an Interposer betwixt her safety and the malice of her potent aduersaries which makes me somthing to wōder that so great and remarkeable a zeale exprest in a time of such ineuitable danger when all Her friends were held the Queene her Sisters enemies and her enemies the Queenes friends when nothing but Examinations sentences of Imprisonment and terrours of Death were thundred against her that her I say whom neither promises of fauor could disswade from her Loue nor threatnings of death deterre from her Seruice should not bee so much as once remembred by the Collectors of Her History Be this therefore Right Honourable a lasting Testimony of his unchanged affection to her and her Innocence from the beginning as likewise a long-liu'd Monument of her Royall gratitude towards him extended euen vnto his end ●nd to his noble Issue after him what great confidence shee had in his loyalty appeared at the Campe of Tilbury in the yeare 1588. where hee solely cōmanded the Guard for her Maiesties owne Person which consisted of Lances Light-Horse and Foote to the number of 34050 It hath pleased your Lordship to censure fauourably of some of my weak Labours not long since presented before you which the rather encouraged mee to make a free tender of this small peece of service In which if my boldnesse should beget the least distast from you I must flye for refuge to that of the Poet Claudian Leones Quae str auisse valent ea mox prostrata relinquunt Thus wishing to you and to all your Noble Family not onely the long fruition of the blessings of this life present but the eternall possession of the loyes future I remaine your Lordships In all obseruances THO HEYVVOOD TO THE GENEROVS READER WEre I able to write this little Historicall Tractate with the Pen of Tacitus the Inke of Curtius and set downe euery line and letter by Epictetus his Candle yet can I see no possibilitie to auoyd the Criticks of this age who with their friuolous cauils and vnnecessary exceptions ambush the commendable labours of others when they themselues will not or dare not either through idlenesse or ignorance aduenture the expence of one serious hower in any laborious worke intended for the benefit of either Church or Common-weale and such Polupragmatists this age is full of Sed meliora spero I doubt not but that they will spare this Argument for the worth thereof and though their carping may correct my Poeme yet they will haue a reuerend respect of the Person here drawne out whose neuer-dying fame euen in this our age is so sacred amongst all good men that it is scarce remembred at the least vttered without a deuout thanks-giuing The prosperous and successfull Reigne of this Royall Queene and Virgin hath been largely deliuered in the Latine Tongue whereby all forraigne Nations haue beene made partakers of her admirable vertues and religious Gouernment but for that part of her Life during her tender and sappy Age all our domesticke remembrancers haue beene ●paring to speake As they haue shewed you a Queene I expose to your view a Princesse they in her Ma●estie I in her Minority they the passages of her incomparable Life from the Scepter to the Sepulchre as shee was a Soueraigne I the processe of her time from the Cradle to the Crowne as she was a sad and sorrowfull Subiect in the discouery whereof I haue not fallen so pat as to make the relation of her Minority the whole scope of my intentions but haue for the better enlightening thereof made vse of all such eminent occurrences of State as may aptly introduce thereunto as for those passages in the Characterizing of King Edward the sixth and the Lady Iane Gray and others Vix ea nostra voco I haue borrowed them from my good friend Mr. H.

Country where she spent the entire season of her Brothers Raigne The King had 3 Vncles left him by the Mothers side Edward Thomas and Henry Seymour Edward was Lord Pro-Protector and Thomas high Admirall of England These two Brothers being knit and ioyned together in amity were like a Bunch of Arrowes not easily broke asunder but once dispersed distracted betwixt themselues they made but way for their Aduersaries how to assaile them with little disaduantage The two great Dukes of Northumberland and Suffolke Dudley and Gray murmuring that his Maiesties two Vncles should beare such great sway in the Kingdome by which their glory seem'd to bee eclipsed and darkned sought all meanes how to oppose this great vnited strength of Fraternall loue but finding that there was no other way le●t to cast this yoake from off their necks which their Ambition held to be intolerable but onely by making a disiunction of that brotherly loue which had so long continued and doubting how to worke it by

W●ndye to visite her being come to Woodstocke they carefully administred vnto her let her bloud and in sixe dayes set her on foote againe and so taking their leaue of her Grace return'd to Court and made a large report both to the Queene and Councell of her humble behauiour and allegiance towards them The Queene no sooner heard it but reioyced at it her aduersaries looked black in the mouth not knowing how to mend themselues but onely by ininciting the Queene against her telling her that they much wondred that shee did not submit her selfe hauing offended her Highnesse In the Interim her Grace was much solicited by diuers pretended friends to submit her selfe to the Qu. informing her that it would be well taken and bee very conducible to her benefit and further inlargement the words were no sooner vttered but shee most resolutely made answer in this manner I will neuer submit to any one whom I neuer offended in all my life If I am a delinquent and haue offended Currat Lex let the Law take course I craue no mercy at all the law is iust and will not condemne me my Keeper that locketh mee vp day and night doth continually molest mee if I were but as free from the one as I am from the other I should thinke my selfe most happy howsoeuer God in his good time will either mollifie his heart or moue some other to procure my further inlargement The Counsell board especially the aduerse party were no sooner possess'd with the constancie of her resolution but they sent vp for Sir Henry Benning field her Keeper no way was vnattempted which might make for their ends great Consultation was held about a Marriage for her the Spaniards thought it most convenient to bee with some Stranger that she might haue her Portion and so depart the Land some thought that not to bee the safest course to send her abroad but one Lord and Gardiner resolued vpon a more speedy one the one said that the King would neuer haue any quiet Common-wealth in England till her head were struck off from her shoulders the other My Lords we haue but all this while beene stripping off the leaues and now and then lopped a branch but till such time as wee strike at the Roote of Heresie meaning the Lady Elizabeth nothing to purpose can bee effected God forbid replyed the Spaniards that our K. and Mr. should once conceiue a thought to consent vnto such a mischiefe and from that day forward they did not let slip the least opportunity to solicite the King on her behalfe informing him that

February being Thursday An. 1558. and lyes buried in a chappell in Saint Peters Westminster without any monument or remembrance at all Queene Mary was well inclined of her selfe had not the blind zeale of her Religion and authority of the clergy ouerswayd her the flames of their consuming fire had not mounted so high as heauen there to solicite for vengeance it is obserued that her raigne was the shortest of all Kings since the conquest Richard the third only excepted and that more christian blood was spilt in her short time then had beene in case of Religion in any Kings raign whatsoeuer since K. Lucius the first establisher of Christianity in England and God grant the like may neuer be seene againe Amen The Cloud thus set that wished Sunne appeared in our horizon like a fresh spring after a stormy winter The Parliament then sitting at Westminst newes was brought that the Queen was deceased the soddainnesse of the news struck the house into amazment Some look'd backward to the dead Queene others looked forward to the suruiuing Princesse but at last they pitch'd vpon the proclamation of the L. Elizabeth which was accordingly performed the same day in the 24th yeere 2. month and 10 day of her age at what time she remooued from Hatfield to the Charterhouse from thence she was royally attended to the Tower of London and the 24 of the same month passed with great state through the City to Westminster On the foure twentieth of Nouember Queen Elizab. set forward from the Tower to passe thorow the City to Westminster but considering that after so long restraint she was now exalted from misery to Maiesty from a Prisoner to a Princesse before shee would suffer herself to bemoūted in her Chariot shee very deuoutely lifted vp Her Handes and Eyes to Heauen v●●ering these words O Lord Almighty and euer-liuing God I giue thee most humble and hearty thankes that thou hast beene so mercifull vnto mee as to spare mee to see this ioyfull blessed Day and I acknowlede that thou hast dealt as graciously and wonderfully with me as thou didst with thy true and faithfull Seruant Daniel thy Prophet whom thou deliuered'st out of the Lyons Denne from the crueltie of the greedy and raging Lyons euen so was I ouer-whelmed and by thee deliuered to thee therefore onely bee thankes and honour and prayse for euermore Amen Hauing made an end of her thankes-giuing to God shee put onwards through the City where diuers magnificent Pageants presented themselues to her view the throng of people was extraordinary their acclamations loud as thunder many were the expressions of loue tendred vnto her and by her as gratefully entertained as they were louingly presented To make a particular relation of the seuerall occurrences in that one dayes entertainment would require aboue a dayes expression I will onely but point at some more remarkeable passages wherein shee shewed her selfe extraordinarily affected to her People She would many times cause her Charriot to stand that the people might haue their full sight of her amongst the seuerall speeches that were addressed vnto her from the Pageants if at any time any word did reflect vpon her a change of countenance was obserued in her but a settled constancie to heare it out then her loue and courtesie in giuing the people thankes In Cornehill a Pageant presented it selfe called the Scate of worthy Gouernement intimating their dutifull allegiance to her with the generall conceiued hopes of her Princely Gouernement the Speech was no sooner deliuered but shee immediately answered I haue taken notice of your good meaning toward mee and will endeauour to Answere your seuerall expectations Passing forward another Pageant appeared representing the eight Beatitudes euery one applyed to her in particular by the Speaker the multitude crying out Amen Amen But being come to the litle Conduit in Cheape shee perceiued an offer of Loue and demanded what it might signifie one told her Grace that there was placed Time Time said shee and Time I praise my God hath brought me hither but what is that other with the Booke shee was resolued that it was Truth the Daughter of Time presenting the Bible in English whereunto she answered I thanke the Citie for this guift aboue all the rest it is a Booke which I will often and often read ouer then she commanded Sir Iohn Perrot one of the Knights that held vp the Canopie to goe and receiue the Bible but being informed that it was to bee let downe vnto her by a silken string shee commanded him to stay in the Interim a Purse of gold was presented by the Recorder in the behalfe of the City which shee receiued with her owne hands and afterward gaue attention to a speech deliuered making reply in the conclusion I thanke my Lord Mayor his brethren the Aldermen and all of you and whereas your request is that I should continue your good Lady and Queene be you assured that I will be as good vnto you as euer Queene was yet vnto her people no will in me is wanting neither doe I hope can there want any power As for the priuiledges and Charters of your City I will in discharge of my oath and affection see them safely and exactly maintained and perswade your selues that for the safety and quietnes of you all I will not spare if need bee to spend my blood in your behalfe God blesse you all good people As shee went along in Fleete-streete at St. Dunstans Church the children of Christ's Hospitall sate there with the gouernours shee tooke great delight in the obiect and calling to minde that it was her brothers foundation shee expressed her selfe very thankefull for the presentation of such a charitable sight saying Wee are Orphans all let me enioy your Prayers and you shall be sure of my assistance As shee went through Temple-Barre the Ordinance and Chambers of the Tower went off the report whereof gaue much content thus passed Shee along to
