Citie and in all places were receiued with so great preparation specially in the vniuersitie fower dayes before that after so Royal entertainmentes this Colledge did feare not without reason to appeare in theire Magesties presence but that the litle gift of the widow so much esteemed and commended for the good will and affection wherewith she gaue it did encorage the studentes to doe the best they could and so all thinges were put in order as aboue hath bene said wher vpon S. Bernards day which fell vpon a sunday at two a clock in the afternoone came to the Colledge 24. of the Kings Garde with theire sargeant who presently deuided the soldiars at the gates with expresse order that none should enter because their Magesties would that day enioy the Colledge alone and a litle after came the lieutenant of the Garde who placed likewise other soldiars in all the roomes which were hung with verses with charge to keepe them as they did that none were wanting The Steward of the kings howse and some other officiers and gentlemen of the Pallace vnderstanding that his M. would see the schollers chambers and the manner of theire habitation came before as the custome is and were much delited with the order and commoditie to see that neither there was wāt of any thing necessarie nor any thing superfluous but as the widow had prouided for the Prophet Elizeus a bed a table a chaire a light so they had euery one all that was commodious for his studies and rest without want or excesse About fiue a clocke or a litle after came theire Magesties to the Colledge in signe of more confidence and good will without theire accustomed garde notwithstanding they had diuers companyes both on foote and horse lodged in the Citie which comonly wayte vpon them when they goe abroade The studentes expected them in the Church in two rankes from the doore to the high altar and the Prouinciall of the Societie being at the same tyme by chaunce in the Citie accompanyed with two Priestes of the Colledge and reuested as the manner is in such solemne receiuinges attended theire Magesties at the Church doore who at theire enterance hauing receiued holy water and kneeling downe vpon two cushens of cloth of gold which theire chaplens had there prouided adoted the Crucifix which the father offered them with so great reuerence and deuotion as the English students there present were much moued to see it who as diuers of them afterwardes did confesse reioyced exceedingly to see those two Monarkes of the world prostate themselues and adore with so great pietie the Image of our Sauiour for whose cause and Religion they see them selues in banishment theire parentes robbed and imprisoned and many of their frendes persecuted and afflicted In the meane tyme others of the students aboue in the quire sang Te Deum laudamus in theire accustomed Ecclesiastical Musike which contented so much as the Duke of Lerma and other noble men that came with the king thought the singers had bene procured frō abroad but vnderstanding that it was the ordenarie musike of the Colledge and onely the studentes receiued double contentment to heare it much more when at the entrance it was told them that nothing was borrowed that day to receiue theire Magesties but onely the hanginges The King and the Queene coming to the high altar remained there kneeling while the priest ended the versicles and prayer accustomed to be sung in the like receiuing of Princes and after they rose on foot and viewed the images of the three Inglish martyrs vpon the high altar which I mencioned before and the Queene maruailing at the pictures which were in the hanginges of the church the king told her they were the tormentes where-with the heretikes put to death the martyrs in England Before they departed vnderstanding that the Relique which stood vpō the Altar was flesh of the glorious Martyr S. Alban that had endured without corruption aboue 12. hūdred yeates they both kneeled downe againe with great reuerence and the Queene besides her cushen vpon the ground to adore it as they did both with so particular affect and deuotion as I must needes confesse to your highnes I was moued aboue measure to see it and diuers others there present as after-wardes I vnderstood no lesse then I with the same consideration how king Hentie the 8. of England distroyed the holy Reliques of the glorious Martyr S. Thomas of Canterburie the honor of his kingdome and nation seing the pietie and reuerence wherewithal our Catholike kinges did kysse and adore the Relique and flesh of this holy Martyr of a forrayne countre and kingdome As they passed out of the church the schollers who were all in order placed rounde about the first court made altogether a low reuerence and afterward by two and two went forward into the hall prepared as I haue said aboue for theire Magesties who passing a long veiwed with attention the Hietogliphicks and pictures and seamed to receiue contentment with the varietie and inuention and passing on further when the king saw them continue all the way as he went in such diuersitie number for they were aboue 270. he commaunded they should all be kept and brought him to the Palace for that he would see them at leysure as he did VVhen he entered the hall the Musicians in the other roome adioyning deuided onely with a curtayn began to play vpon theire vials and virginals a very graue and pleasant song of eight partes till theire Magesties and those that came in theire company were set the schollers stood betweene the cloth of estate and the musike in there rankes or companies on the one side stood the Poetes and Rhetoricians on the other the Philosophers and in the middest the Priests diuines And that they might be the better discerned the first ranke was of the least in the second were those of middle stature and in the third the tallest and the modestie and composition of all was such as theire Magesties did particularly note it and were not a litle edified to see together so many young youthes banished for theire fidelitie to God and theire Religion who altedy had offered vp theire labors studies and liues for the conuersion of theire Countrie liuing in collegial discipline with that example which theire very presence did declare and with so great puritie and innocencie of life as strangers of different nations continuall witnesses of all theire actions doe testifie of so rare talents as the verses and ingenious inuentions a bout the walls of the Colledge did shewe and in fiue of so good education and parentage as might be seen in theire persons countenance and behauiour in so much as diuers Noblemen there present moued with this spectacle did wish they could bring vp theire children in the same māner therefore diuers principall persons of this real me haue procured very ernestly and with great offers to haue theire sonnes brought
The childe pronounced this oratiō with so tender affectes shewing himselfe to feel that which he spake in such māner that theire Magesties all that were present were exceedinghly mooued and diuers could not forbeare teares After the oration he came downe from the pulpit hauing made his reuerence went to kisse the Kinges hand who with his accustomed clemēce embraced him shewing in his countenance how wel he had lyked his speach After him followed the rest of the students to whome also his Maiesty shewed such fauour and courtesie as wel appeared that God almighty had brought them out of theire fathers houses country in whose hand are the harts of Catholike kings to encline them as he pleaseth to fauour his workes About the middest of the last oration entered the kinges pages with torches lighted which they had brought from the pallace because it was night and when theire Maiesties arose to depart the father of the Colledge went to the cloth of estate to giue them thankes besought the king that he would vouchsafe to continew alwayes his accoustumed fauour protection to this holy worke whereunto he answered that he had care to doe it that he knew it was much to Gods honour and seruice of the Church and therfore could doe no lesse The noble men and courtiers that went forth before theire Maiesties could not dissemble the contentment they had receiued and in particular the Marquesse of Velada the kings great Steward affirmed that in all the progresses and iournies he had accompanied him and his father they had neuer bin in any place more nobly receiued and required copyes of all the orations and of the interpretations that had bin made vpon the Psalme and the Duke of Lerma desirous to see the student which he maintayneth in the Colledge embraced him in the kinges presence with such tender affection as if he had bin his owne father and told there Maiesties that he adopted him for his Sonne and that it was reason the Queene should also take some number to her charge wherevnto she answered that alredy shee had purposed to do it Theire Maiesties when they came into the vtermost court for that it was darke and the multitude of those that accōpanied them shadowed the students who were placed in the way in the same order as when theire Maiesties entered into the Colledge one of the noble men seeing them as the pages lifted vp their torches sayed to the Duke of Lerma look my lord what a goodly cōpany of Ecclesiasticall men and he said to the king will your Maiestie see a quire of angells whereat the kinge and the Queene turning to the schollers with signification of a courteous fare-well they alltogether made reuerence to thire Maiesties and the Duke much moued with the sight wringing one of the fathers of the Colledge that went with him by the hand sayed a lowd it is impossible that Englād should miscary that bringeth forth such childeren All the nobilitie maides of honor and gentlemen of the court that had bin present departed commending greatly that which they had seene and as the king was to go out of the gate the Rector kissed his hand crauing pardon that he had kept him so long whereunto he auswered that the tyme had not seemed long and that all had contented him exceedingly There was gathered a great multitude of gentlemen and others of the citie before the Colledge maruailing much to see theire Maiesties stay so long within and so late in the night without theire guard and much more when they saw the demonstration of contentment in them and all the rest at their comming forth and so the same night diuers principal persons that could not that day come into the Colledge desired that nothing might be taken downe till the next day following when many learned men of the Vniuersitie Religious and others and gentlemen of the citie came to read the verses and see how their Maiesties had bin receiued seemed no lesse satisfied then the others the day before Thankes be giuen to almighty God that can finde meanes to comfort honour those that bee persecuted dishonoured for his holy name An aduertisement to the Catholikes of England of the present state of their children brought vp in this Colledge of Valladolid and of the comfort they may worthely expect of them heer-after BEcause I assure my self that your highines hath inhereted not the least part of your fathers loue and affection to the Catholikes of England and that you desire to keep fresh his glorious memorie with them no lesse gratfull then the memorie of the good king Iosias was to the people of Israell and because the rigorous persecution they suffer causeth in all good Catholikes great compassion and desyre to comfort so valorous and faythfull people and that nothing can bee more gratefull to good parents then to heare newes of their childeren hoping that this relatiō may come to their handes trāslated into Inglish by your highnesse comaundemēt I haue thought good to adde some particular things of this Seminarie for their aduertisment of the state thereof There is built a fayer house capable well-nigh of a 100 persons for habitation of the students and it proueth so commodious pleasant and healthful that none haue dyed since it was finished and verie few falne sick in so much as the last yeare whē there dyed in this citie a boue 6000. persons of the plage only one scholer of this Seminary well sicke of that desease who yet recouered so as it was atributed to Gods speciall prouidence and protectiō who as it seemed had marked the walles of this colledge with the bloud of the holy martyrs of Ingland that the angell of reuenge should not touch the students They liue so merily contentedly as them selues affirme they neuer liued with such harty contentment in there owne fathers houses The grace which God giueth them together with the glorious vocation whereunto he calleth thē to liue reddy to die for the conuersion of there countrie and the dayly vse of prayer and other exercises of piety which they haue kept them continually with feruour deuotion notwithstanding the distraction of theire studyes as wel appeared to omitt other exampls in the extraordenarie preparation they made and the recollection this last sommer in meditation prayer for many dayes together to dispose them selues to receiue worthely the lubely of the holy yeare which was graunted by especiall priuilege to the Inglish Catholikes and in other occasions of late wherein they haue made notable demonstration of theire religion and pietie especially in the procuring and receiuing a deuout image of our blessed Lady de faced by the Inglish heretikes at Cadyz which no doubt but God allmightie hath bestowed vpon them in reward of theire speciall loue and deuotion to his blessed mother which is not a litle stirred vp and increased in this citie by theire example They profit notably in all kynde of studyes
