that of their holy Father in prosecution of his Designs Cuthbert Mayne came into England dispersing Libells to maintain the Pope's Authority over the Queen and he confessed under his own Hand that he brought with him several holy grains to distribute among the Catholicks which they should keep as so many Preservatives by the producing of which they should be safe when the Protestants were to be destroyed In the same business several others were employed and one Hemford sent over with a Dispensation of the Pope's Bull whereby the Romanists had liberty to yield outward Obedience till an opportunity offered itself for the execution of that deposing Sentence And one Haydock was employed to prepare things against such a time and to note the fittest places for landing an Army as himself wrote to Allen the Jesuite Besides these one Paine a Priest and fifty others were furnished at the Pope's Charge who undertook to kill the Queen as she went to take the Air. And yet these are the men whom Sanders in his Letter to the aforenamed Jesuite terms chosen Vessels But our Countrey was not the onely Nation afflicted with these Plots and traiterous Contrivances for about the same time was Sebastian King of Portugal betrayed by the Jesuits to the loss both of his Life and Kingdom which they had before engaged to transfer to the Spanish King in which they were as good as their word though near fifty years since it is returned to the Obedience of its lawfull Heir during which War attempting to deliver one of the Isles of the Azores to the Spaniards they were discoved and treated as their Wickedness deserved but of this more hereafter The Pope's Designs upon the Queen's Life being by the good Providence of God frustrated the holy Father Gregory the 13th carried on the projects of his Predecessour who had willingly lent an Ear to the advice of Thomas Stukely an English Fugitive and in hopes of getting the Kingdom of Ireland for his own Son the Marquess of Vineola where we find though Popes do not marry yet they can get Children created Stukely Marquess of Leinster adding several other Titles and assisting him with Forces and a plenary Indulgence dispatcht him away for Ireland but by the way being persuaded by the King of Portugal to join with him against the Moors he was slain in the Battel together with that King. But though Ireland was delivered from this Danger yet soon after James Fitz-Morice who was pardoned in the Year 1569. went over into France where he desired Assistance to beat the English out of Ireland and reduce that Nation to the French Obedience but King Henry the Third then reigning having sufficient Employment for his Forces at home Fitz-Morice addressed himself to the Pope and the King of Spain the former embraced this opportunity and sent Sanders with him as his Nuncio with a consecrated Banner and the latter assisted them with Men and Money the Pope in the mean while raising Souldiers in his Countrey for their Assistance and Relief Fitz-Morice and Sanders with the Spaniards landed in Kerry in Ireland and committedall manner of Outrages in one of which Fitz-Morice was killed by the Sons of William a Burgh soon after made Baron of Castleconnel in his place succeeded his Brother John E. of Desmond to whom the Pope sent an Indulgence dated May 13. 1580. wherein he highly magnifies the Piety of James laments his Death and exhorts all the Nobility Clergy and People of the Land to follow this John in fighting against the Hereticks for the Catholick Cause and to encourage them in that good work he grants a Plenary Indulgence and Remission of all their sins in the same extent as was granted to those who were engaged in the Holy War. And when the Spaniards were required by the Lord Gray then Deputy of Ireland to express their Intention in thus invading her Majesties Dominions they returned Answer That they were sent from the Pope and King of Spain to whom his Holiness had given Ireland for that Elizabeth had justly forfeited her Title to the Kingdom by Heresie that they would keep what they had got and get more if they could But in a small time after they were glad to surrender upon Mercy the Earl of Desmond having been routed before and Allen the Priest who came with the Legate Sanders slain This ill success put a stop to the Recruits the Pope was preparing to send after them Sanders dyed of hunger in the Woods and the Earl of Desmond was slain two years after by a common Soldier And to encourage these Rebels and to excite to more such Attempts this Pope Gregory the Thirteenth the same year renewed the Bull of Pius Quintus against the Queen There were five hundred Copies of it printed at Rome and the Bull it self dispersed over all Italy Spain and part of Germany as is attested by one who was then in the English College at Rome who likewise assures us that one of their Readers in Divinity before above two hundred Scholars affirmed That it was lawfull for any man of Worship in England to give Authority to the vilest wretch that is to endeavour the Queen's death but that this Pope did excommunicate the Queen we find in our excellent Annalist and is acknowledged by the Romish Priests in their Important Considerations printed the last year of that Queen's Reign But though he pronounced that terrible Sentence against her yet as is observed by one who had been a great stickler for the Romish Church he dealt a great deal more subtilly and more dangerously than his Predecessour for finding the danger the Romanists were daily exposed to by their endeavouring the Destruction of the Queen whom they durst not obey or cease to hurt for fear of the Curses denounced in the Bull he qualified it in such a manner that the Jesuite Hart as the Lord Burleigh tell us acknowledg'd The Bull of Pius Quintus for so much as it is against the Queen is holden by the English Catholicks for a lawfull Sentence and a sufficient Discharge of her Subjects Fidelity and so remains in force but in some points touching the Subject it is altered by the present Pope For where in that Bull all her Subjects are commanded not to obey her and she being excommunicated and deposed all that do obey her are likewise accursed which point is perilous to the Catholicks for if they obey her they are in the Pope's Curse and if they disobey her they are in the Queen's Danger Therefore the present Pope to relieve them hath altered that part of the Bull and dispensed with them to obey and serve her without peril of Excommunication which dispensation is to endure but till it please the Pope otherwise to determine Here we have a plain Confession of that learned Gentleman who is by them termed a Noble Champion of
