may be coniectured what all the restis a fardell of follie aptlie figuring bothe him that writ it they who are defended in it and them all that are of that sect and opinion First he findeth him selfe agreeued That Maister Campion should be reported at the tyme of his death tymerous fearefull as also that Sherwin is sayde to shewe more humilitie and discretion and therefore sayeth he dyed a Protestant I will appeale to the right Honorable Woorshipfull that were there present and also to Maister Hearne the other godly Preachers who in offering him comfortable doctrine to strengthen him and establish his faith according as they heartilie desired perceiued him to be very fearfull wauering as it seemed would haue opened something but that this affliction of his minde would not suffer him This is he who was reputed For the flower of Oxensoorde whyle he studied there and since abroade in other forraine Countreyes by whome our Countrey hath gotten great honour the fruites of his learning vertue rare gifts were in him so admirable and wunderfull bothe heere at home and abroade in Italie Germanie and Bohemia an honour to our Countrey a Glasse and mirrour a lyght and lanterne a patterne and example to youth age learned vnlearned religious and the laytie of all sortes state and condition for modestie grauitie eloquence knowledge vertue and pietie Is it not meruaylous to heare the impudencie of this shamelesse Reporter howe according to our French Historian he maketh him selfe the Image of all vntrueth You shall heare Campion his owne confession to those of woorship in this Cittie during the tyme he was in the Tower and then let this large style blazed of him be receyued into iudgement accordinglie He confesseth that he neuer passed farder in Diuinitie then Canisius dictates whose writing is verie well known to our learned Diuines héere in England according as he writ he followed in study so that if he writ false then he followed false if he sayde true then he was in the truth which of these he could not make aunswere which was most certaine This was déepe learning and high knowledge for him to make so prowde a Challenge as he dyd and for this Reporter to write so arrogantly as he dooth inferring such modestie grauitie eloquence knowledge and vertue on him who was nothing acquainted with such singuler giftes Besides this Campion lykewise confessed him selfe that when he was at Praga beyonde the Seas he had lyttle or no helpes at all to imploye his studie which is some reason that he could not be so profounde so present and so well lettered as this gallant gloser fayneth him to be For at verie sildome tymes he had any Bookes to guide him and into such necessitie he was driuen teaching there two Gentlemens sonnes in the Latin tongue as when he had paper he had neither pennes nor inke and when he had inke eyther he wanted pennes or paper so that euer he was without some néedefull thing that should haue holpen him euerie way All these thinges considered maye mooue the simplest body to vnderstād he coulde not be such a fellowe as he was takē for of some This béeing vnderstoode well perceyued by many bothe woorshipfull learned and wise who had conference with him caused them to estéeme of him according and to make reporte of his learning as they found it Which hath made this Reporter vnreuerently and without modestie to reprooue my Lord Bishop of London who sayde of Campions learning as before is expressed which this fellowe ridiculouslie applieth to follie neither giuing him his calling of Honour nor shewing him the reuerence he ought to doo but according to the nature of them all plainlie sheweth his venemous heart And there lykewise he scorneth at Maister Whitakers Booke mislyking my Lords iudgement thereof promising an aunswer thereto as also to publish the disputations in the Tower to the honour of Campion I wyll not gainesay but they may as wel shuffle foorth a shamelesse reporte on theyr owne parte concerning the sayde disputations as they haue this trayterous Libell but when it commeth I trust it shall not passe without the iudgement of those who wil aunswer them to any thing I will omit sayth our Reporter though it be much materiall Campion his vsage in his tyme of imprisonment his constancie and patience his fiue dayes fast from temporall and bodilie sustenaunce his two nightes abstinence from ordinarie sleepe and rest and the time he bestowed in meditation prayer This to be false and vntrue they that can tel haue auouched it wishing all men to estéeme it as an horrible and detestable vntrueth Comparing the māner of the executiō the English with the French I finde them so different the one from the other and bothe of them so far from trueth as I accoūpt it a waste labour to bestowe time in setting thē downe For bothe of them make these Traitors To be so milde patient vertuous as though neuer their like was seen wherfore the bréefe and true manner therof which I my self haue published in my former book shall aunswer all the errors made by them As for the course of rayling he taketh against those of woorship learning and iudgement I will aunswer with the Euangelist Blessed are you when men shal curse you speake all euill against you and make lyes of you for my sake be you glad and reioyce because your reward is the greater in the kingdome of heauen for so haue they dealt with the Prophetes that were before you Now where he saith What charity was it to put pinnes vnder the nailes of Alexander Brian and for his corporall sustenaunce he was driuen to lycke the moysture of the walles It is as all the rest are a most deuillishe and malicious report and that Sir Owen Hopton will affirme with many more who sayeth it to be as false as it is true that God lyueth in heauen But then let me aske him what charity is it for them so vnmercifully to torment the members of Christes body as they doo daylie some tormented three dayes and three nightes together in the Strapado some hanged vp naked by the armes and pricked to death with sharpe Canes others dismembred gréeuouslie and a number persecuted with excéeding tiranny A spectacle of their charitable dealinges shall shortly come foorth in my other Booke howe cruelly they tormented an Englishe man to the death at Roome onelie for his faith and spotlesse Christianitie Then you shall beholde their looue and charitie which forced their owne Doctors into a troubled and vexed conscience beholding the patience triumphing and great ioy this faithful persecuted Martir made bothe at his death and continuing the whole tyme of theyr horrible tormentes He concludeth his Lybell saying God saue the Queene thinking therby to shaddowe his villainous and trayterous heart No no we knowe that all that say Lord Lord shall not enter into the

kingdome of heauen no more are they all good Subiectes that saye God saue the Queene but they doo this for a face to couer the fowle blemish ensuing by their treason God saue her Maiestie from all such as they are her honourable Coūcell and the whole Realme from that bloody Antichrist and his wandering shauelinges An aunswere to his Caueat concerning me and my Discouerie AFterwarde hée commeth with a Caueat to the Reader concerning me and my Booke of the Discouerie of Campion where he is verie lauish of spéeche of such a man as he nor the prowdest of his secte dare auouch the woordes to his face saying lykewise that he perused my Booke which on my Faith he neuer sawe tyll it came abroade Then he beginneth to rip vp the course of my life Howe I was an Apprentise and serued my tyme well with deceyuing my Maister I referre my selfe to the iudgement of all men reading this which my Maister vnrequested hath héere set downe on my behalfe This is to let all men vnderstand that Anthony Munday for the tyme he was my Seruaunt dyd his duetie in all respectes as much as I could desire without fraude couin or deceyte if otherwise I should report of him I should but say vntrueth By me Iohn Allde AGaine he sayth That wandering towardes Italie I became a Coosener For my discharge I will appeale to one of their owne secte nowe he that went with me all the way by name Thomas Nowel who knoweth this to be a false and malicious slaunder When I came to Roome he sayeth I was charitablie releeued but neuer admitted into the Seminarie You shall heare the woordes of Lucas Kerbie Preest one of the condempned prisoners in the Tower taken before Sir Owen Hopton on Tuesday beeing the .6 of March last 1582. AT what tyme we were excluded the Seminary and sent for againe before the Pope he demaunded of vs how many we were in nūber which was presentlie giuen him to vnderstande in which number Thomas Nowell and Anthony Munday were named He commaunded we should all be receyued into the Seminarie againe and gaue vs our desire in all thinges we requested the Iesuites to be our Rectors and to gouerne vs. Then was a Table made called The Table of the names of all the Schollers in the Englishe Seminarie Where euerie mans name was placed by the Alphabet and therein was the names of Thomas Nowell and Anthony Munday set downe lykewise although he professed an other name then Nowe let men iudge whether I was admitted or no for before that time neither my fellowe nor I might be receyued into the house nor suffered to haue our Uiandes with the Schollers but were in déede maintayned by the Schollers when they sawe me so wylling to returne from thence againe which made them promise vs that they would labour both to the Pope and Cardinall for vs. This made vs the more wylling to take parte with them in their expulsion from the Seminarie Then were wee allowed among the number of the Schollers At their receyuing in againe our names were put in the Table for Schollers obseruing all orders that the Schollers dyd bothe in going to the Schooles in walking for our recreation all other thinges we did as the Schollers did The manner of their expulsion the cause and howe thinges happened you shal reade at large in my Englishe Romaine lyfe In all the course of his Caueate which he séemeth to publishe against my Booke of the Discouerie he offereth no reproofe to any thing that I haue written therein albeit he would haue Campion and his fellowes to be thought such holie wise and discreet men Me thinkes he shoulde first haue examined theyr horrible treasons theyr trayterous practises from tyme to tyme bothe against her Maiestie her honourable Councell and the Realme and then haue shaped his defence according For in couering their faultes without any reason to the contrarie and in making a man a Saint not purging him from the wickednesse planted in him by the Deuill he sheweth a rashe and partiall opinion concealing their guiltinesse to him selfe and séeking to make them famous by a fewe commixed tearmes whose odious offences hath made them moste infamous Their venemous nature maye be séene in a Booke secretlie imprinted made by a Catholique Préest not lōg since where in two seuerall places he calleth her Maiestie a Deuill in an other place Macheuillian and in an place plainlie Iezabell these are good Subiectes that can crie God saue the Queene with their mouthes and wishe her death in their heartes yea they will sweare they are no such fellowes when for more proofe of them selues they set it downe in print but such as theyr heade the Pope is such are they all for they that once enter into oath to him can hardlie after be good Subiectes to their Prince Yet if they had any sparke of looue to their Princesse and Countreye in them they might take example by Maister Shelley the graund Priour in Roome among the Englishe men who flatlie tolde the Pope to his face That it neither stoode with his holynesse nor honour to will any Subiect to be a Traitour to his Prince and Countrey for quoth he be shee neuer so euyll wee must acknowledge her for our Princesse and our selues for her Subiectes For this if he had not presently fled vpon it he had béene murdred or some way dispatched so great was the mallice of his Countrey men towards him Wel I pray God to illuminate them with his grace that they maye see their wickednesse and blindnesse and though they haue strayed a long time lyke lost Shéepe yet that they may at length come home againe to the shéepfolde saying We haue sinned O Father against heauen and against thee vnwoorthy we be to be called thy chyldren God preserue her Maiestie her honourable Councell send his Gospel a ioyfull and frée passage turne the heartes of all Traytours stop the mouthes of all backbiters and slaunderers and make vs all his faithfull Seruauntes Amen FINIS Verses in the Libell made in prayse of the death of Maister Campion one of the societie of the holie name of Iesus heere chaunged to the reproofe of him and the other Traitours WHy doo I vse my paper inke and pen and call my wits in coūcell what to say Such memories were made for woorthy men And not for such as séeke their Realms decay An Angels trumpe exalts y e Subiects trueth When shame rings foorth y e Traitors fearful rueth Pardon my want I offer naught but will To note downe those at whome the Skies do skowle Cāpion his treasōs do excéed my skil The cause his comming the déede too fowle Yet giue me leaue in base and homely verse His lewd attempts in England to rehearse He came by vowe the cause his Princesse foyle His armour Treason to his Countryes woe His comfort blood slaughter gréeuous spoyle The Deuill his Author had incenst him
