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
specially in philosophy diuinitie and controuerses against hereses wherein they defend their conclusions and publique acts with so great satisfaction and approbation of the whole vniuersitie as they are loued and esteemed not only in this citie but of the graue and learned persons of al these kingdomes eclesiasticall and tēporal and diuers of them haue adopted some one some moe of these studēts for their childeren prouiding them of maintenance and apparrel comforting them with gifts and lettrrs and visiting them in person as they were theire owne children and the Bishops when they take holy orders and whole cities in occasions making demonstration of theire good wil and affection towards them in so much as these two yeares past memorable for general famin and plage when many families and cōmunities that enioy great liuings rents found them selues ouercharged this Colledge mayntened 60. or 70. persons without want of any thing necessarie through Gods holy prouidence who hath care in such occasions to susteine at his owne expenses those that leaue theire parents and countrie for his holy name as at other times he hath done with Daniel Elias S. Athanasius and many other of his seruantes Finally this good wil and estimation is so much the more to be accounted of as it is more vniuersal and procedeth from persons of more iudgment and authoritie in which kinde may be rekned the extraordinarie demonstratiō of fauour which the high counsayles of these kingdomes haue shewed of late to this Inglish Colledge moued thereunto by the Earle of Ponion rostro don Francisco Arias de Bouadilla who hauing bin Coronel in Flandres many yeares and seeing the rigorous persecution in Ingland and the constancie of the Catholikes and after knowne the Inglish Colledge of Ciuil the time hee was gouerner of that citie hath taken such affection to this Colledge that he dealeth in their businesse with no lesse care then if they were his owne childeren and so vpon occasion of two twentie students that came this yeare almost altogether he presented petitions to the Counsayles in his owne name with al gaue them bookes of the historie newly published by the late kinges Confessor of the persecution of Ingland and a paper cōtayning diuers reasons to moue affection towards these Seminaries which he caused to bee printed for the purpose and is worthy to be set as it shal be downe at the end of his relation as wel for testimonie of this good noblemans zeale affectiō as for your highnesse who cannot chose to receiue contentment seeing layd together and wel declared the grounds and foundation of the fauours which your self and the most renowmed kings your father your brother haue shewed in sucouring this people that so much deserueth to be sucoured the same is no smal testimonie of the passion and blindnesse which heresie hath bred in those of England which persecute euen to death these innocēt lambes of their owne coūtrey bloud who one the other side strangers of a different nation are forced only for the example of their good life vertue to loue so tenderly with so general approbatiō as may bee seene in the fauours benefits which dayly they receiue of theire Maiesties and your highnesse and so many other principal persons of these kingdōs now lately of these counsayles and communities which is the greatest testimonie that can be of the general affection that is borne them For notwithstanding the fauour and affectiō which any Prince or Prelate sheweth to a worke of this qualitie doth much commend and authorise it yet many times it may proceed of a particular deuotion therefore is not so great a testimony nor so vniuersal as his other approbation but that so many counsayls as haue cōcurred of late to fauour this worke so many persons of authoritie as be in them in whose wisdome and discretion resteth the gouermēt of so many kingdomes countries which do not easylie concurre in the qualification approbatiō of any thing wherein may be doubt should so vnite and conioyne them selues in one mind and affectiō not only to approue but to fauour succor an other natiō and in a thing vnaccustomed hetherto not seene in any other occasion where only one negatiue voyce had bin sufficient to hinder the graunt this I cannot see how any man can doubt to be his dispositiō handy worke by whom Reges regnant legum conditores iusta decernunt Kings do reigne and lawgiuers make iust decrees therby to giue euident testimonie to the world that he wil make famous and ennoble this his worke to the greater confusion of the heretiks his enemyes who seek by al meanes possible to calumniat ouerthrow and destroy it VVherefore there is no reason that those whom God most merifully calleth to this holy worke no lesse hard then glorious should be dismayed or lose hart with the troubles and new difficulties which arise in it euery day by the subtile meanes of the enemie of truth seing his diuine Maiestie one the other syde hath such particular care to prouide diligent workmen and labors for this his beloued vineyard whose learning confoundeth the ignorance of their enemies there valor and vertue the others malice and there magnanimitie and patience the others cruelty vpholding and mayntaining by these meanes the Catholike faith agaynst al the power of the Prince of darknes If then God hath effectuated the conuersion of other countries and of England also at other times by only one or two or by some smal number of good men what may wee hope for now of so many faithful seruants and workemen of his as be in that countrie and of the prouident care which as wee see he hath to cal so many chosen youth as euery day with singular strange vocations come as a new supply to the Seminaries where being brought vp trayned and exercised in vertue learning the armes where with they must fight against heresie they become as valiāt Capitaines in this spiritual warfare of the Church as were Cyrus Hannibal Alexander Augustus Caesar and Dauid in theire temporal warres for that they began to exercise themselues in them betimes as their histories reporte what may wee then hope for but a short and happie end of this combate sithence they go to it with the skil courage and fortitude that becometh the soldiours of Christ as there imperisonment theire disputations with the heretikes theire torments deathes do testifie so as iustly wee may say that these be of the number of the wise childeren which as the holy ghost sayeth bring ioy and comfort to theire parents not only comfort but honour to them and libertie to there country and as God chose the banished childeren of Babylon for instrumentes to worke and shew forth his glory who rather chose to enter into the hot burning fornace in testimonie of there true religion then to adore the idol where by the king came to
