as a matter impossible to his iustice how aunswere they his vsurpation of the title of this realme often reproued by Maister Man her Maiesties liger in Spaine to the great hazard of his person as I heard him and some of his traine affirme before the same was laid a part But they may replie that hee being permitted during his abode in this kingdome by generall assent to vse that title might without her Maiesties preiudice continue the same But there we may as the prouerbe is lay a straw for whatsoeuer is allowed by any authoritie may be disanulled by the same againe the causes of any thing ceassing the effectes of the same proceede no further whereby may be concluded that not onely the Princes and people of this kingdome by whose fauors hee had that title haue power to retract the same but also that his wife dying without issue by him could leaue Phillip no greater interest then she had which was but for terme of her naturall life These matters say they for that they haue made their will a law require neither aunswere nor excuse no more doth their bost made seueÌ„ yeares past in the duke of Parmas Camp before men of account who by the great prudence of that honorable couÌ„seller Sir Francis VValsingham now dead were appointed for speciall seruice to that place that they would leaue their trade to Peru our countrie being a shorter cut from whence they might drawe equall treasure At this time there was no speache of religion neither of her Maiesties alliance with the Netherlanders or of Sir Francis Drake who as theÌ„ had not bene in the Indies but of their auarice crueltie and ambition the effectes of which preceded any acte done by her Maiestie whose mildnesse of neighbourhood and contentment of state haue exceeded the temperance of all Princes of this or anie other age Now gentlemen said I consider of the Spanish proceedings which were broched in the time of papacie and our greatest deuotion to Philip and his nation before either the reestablishment of the reformed religioÌ„ or of her Maiesties receiuing the Netherlanders for their ancient alliance with her kingdome into her sauegard or anie enterprise made into the Indies by her authoritie VVeigh moreouer the state and qualitie of iustice which whether she gouerneth betwene nations or a people of one countrey neuer imposeth anie law or punisheth by the same till offences be committed which law must then also be recieued by the generall and free consent of nations and people Iudge also whether his enterprises do stand with his pretence of pietie for if he had bene as he feigneth deuoured with the zeale of his religion were there not great occasions giuen him in the time of the French king Charles the ninth his brother in law and neighbour to shew some effects of his Catholike title Cassimer then departing France twise vpon the onely pay of the French king Nay hath he not since then maintained at his charge the Dukes of GVISE and MAINE against his other brother in law Henrie the third a deuout Romanist and chiefe ringleader at the great murder in Paris yea which more is hath he not consented to the murder of the said Henrie I will not say procured it contrarie to the dignity of all kings did he after according to the iustice custome of good princes either reproue the Duke du Maine or his complices for that fact or hath he not since theÌ„ aided the said Duke rather more openly then before not only with treasure but also with souldiers sent from the duke of Parma To coÌ„clude hath not his policie bene by nourishing factions in that and our realme to be made absolute in the west contineÌ„t of Europe Ilands adiacent and hath he not for that purpose renewed his league with the Turke who slily smiling at his madnesse panteth to deuour him and the rest of Christendome by that meane No man can denie it time hath proued it the bloud of thousands crieth against it A reformation then of Religion or our ill neighbourhood to him are no causes of his motions he hauing plotted our ruine and rasure of his Catholike alie in his neerest friendship with both but the auarice crueltie and pride of his people which neither the penurie of Spaine can satisfie or the Pyrene hilles or wide Ocean can limit Beleeue me EPOENETVS said PHILEMON a gentleman of good qualitie tolde me that he heard in Rome that the cardinall named Buono compagno called
