A05353	A treatise concerning the defence of the honour of the right high, mightie and noble Princesse, Marie Queene of Scotland, and Douager of France with a declaration, as wel of her right, title, and interest, to the succession of the croune of England: as that the regiment of women is conformable to the lawe of God and nature. Made by Morgan Philippes, Bachelar of Diuinitie, An. 1570.; Defence of the honour of the right highe, mightye and noble Princesse Marie Quene of Scotlande and dowager of France	Leslie, John, 1527-1596.	1571 (1571)	STC 15506; ESTC S106704	132,510	314

and defende him against al men that would then after challenge or pursue him as guiltie of the said crime The wihch their doings the Queene considering and fearing dangers imminent and withal calling to mind the sundry and diuers vprours and seditioÌ„s already made against her the wretched and most cruel murther of her Secretarie in her own presence the late straÌ„ge and miserable murther of her husbaÌ„d the distresse the discomforte and desolation wherein she was presently bewrapped the Earles actiuitie in Martial feates and the good and faithful seruice done by him to her mother and to her self fearing some new and fresh sturre and calamitie if she should refuse her Nobilities request though very circuÌ„spect and naturally prudent in al her other doinges yet neuerthelesse a woman and especially neuer to that houre ones admonished either opeÌ„ly or priuately after the Earles acquital that he was guiltie of the said fact nor suspecting any thing therof yelded to that to the whiche these craftie colluding seditious heads and the necessitie of the time as then to her seemed did in a maner enforce her Let them now lay on lode let them now rage and raue against this acquital and mariage let them lie to their owne shame vpoÌ„ their owne deuifes and doinges thereby to defame their Queene Let them lie that the Erle of Huntley was restored to his fathers patrimonie to procure his sisters consent to the diuorse betwene th' Erle and her which restitution was made not for that coÌ„sideratioÌ„ but by cause the Queene thought in her coÌ„science his father wrongfully coÌ„demned Let them crie out vpoÌ„ th' Earle Bothwel for that the senteÌ„ce of diuorse was promulged partly by force partly without the iust and vsual order of the law and without sufficieÌ„t proufs Let them cry out vpoÌ„ him for his violeÌ„t taking and deteining the Queene Yet if they caÌ„ not precisely proue the Quenes consent to any of his vnlawful actes as hitherto they were neuer able to do then can they not get or gather any iust occasion which is the thing they only seeke for to suspect the Queene of this greuous acte On th' other side it is wel knoweÌ„ and easy to be proued that this faction did chiefly procure as we haue said aswel the acquital as the supposed mariage and therfore by likelihod was priuie of all other consequent deuises and practises Wherefore they do nothing but blow out and blase to the worlde with their owne foule filthy mouthes their own shame and doe fare like a man that doth thrust a sworde through both his owne sides to pricke a litle and raise but the outward skinne only of his enemie Ye may now wel perceaue geÌ„tle Reader that hitherto they haue produced litle matter of credit against their Quene and yet as it appeareth very good matter against them selues and for their owne discredit Nowe may ye therefore easely coniecture and by these their chiefe and principal matters and groundes easely perceaue what accompt is to be made of al the residue of their lewde slanders and what smal force and strength al their whole sayinges do beare They see it they see it wel inough themselues good Reader whereby they wel perceaue and fully vnderstand that they altogether are vnable to beare out and mainteine by reason iustice or law these their outragious and seditious procedinges And therefore they set vpon them the best colour and countenance they can Wherein you shal nowe heare what they did alleage being in England for them selues They say that no man can charge them or the residue of their Nobilitie that they haue gone as much as one onely step from the office and dutie of good subiectes in taking armes against the outragious enormities already committed and to preuent the great daÌ„gers immineÌ„t to the persons of their Queene and her dere sonne to their Nobilitie and to the whole state of their weale publike And that it was no smal harts grief to them to heare what vilanie al Nations thought and openly spake of them for suffering such a Tragical matter to scape vnpunished which thing ingendreth of vs say they among strangers and al forain Nations an ill and sinister opinion of some common consent thereto made by our whole Nobilitie Yea to see also the very Executour thereof him selfe by violent force to take deteine and kepe his and their Souereigne and with mariyng with her to disteine her honour Wherfore to set her Maiestie at freedom out of his bondage to preserue her honour and the personne of her sonne and by due punishment of suche a malefactour to recouer their good name and estimation with the rest and quietnes of their CoÌ„trey when they had but in vaine attempted aswel al other meanes as by the offring to the Earle singuler battail they were driuen to gather force to resist them who came to the fielde against them with a strong army But he refusing either to wage singuler battail which was then offered to him or to ioyne in battail with their caÌ„pe escaped by flight The Queene in the meanewhile rendred herself into the Nobilities hands there assembled and by them was conueied to EdeÌ„borough but afterward they were of very necessitie compelled to sequester her vntil such time as some remedie might be found for these maters into LochleueÌ„ Wher she hauiÌ„g now aduised with her self and fully perceued her owne disabilitie to susteme the weight of so great a roome frely and voluÌ„tarily by their saying gaue ouer the Croune to her sonne appointing the Earle Murray being at that time out of the Realme to be RegeÌ„t therof during her sonnes minoritie Th' Earle Bothwel not long after being by them pursued fled the Realme to escape their handes Now this said resignation by the Queene ones made to her sonne he was forthwith by them solemnly crouned and he as King the Earle Murray as Regent obeyd and the state of both these RegimeÌ„ts was by Acte of ParlameÌ„t established WhervpoÌ„ quietnes began to encrease and iustice more and more daily to take place which yet some persons sai thei much enuiyng at to the disturbaÌ„ce of the same and of the kings authoritie first practised contrary to the said their Acte of Parlament the Queenes deliuerance out of Lochleuen and then shewed them selues in armes But as their atteÌ„pt say they was vnlauful so the victory fel against them on our the righteous side Whereby God him self semeth to haue geueÌ„ senteÌ„ce for the equitie of our whole cause against our Aduersaries These are the principal allegations that these good men haue proposed for the iustification of their proceedinges against the Quene before the CoÌ„missioners of EnglaÌ„d Finally they say that the moste parte of them selues are for particuler benefits priuately so muche beholding to their said Quene that a number of them could be coÌ„teÌ„ted and wel willing if they might preserue Scotland in the state of a Kingdome preseruing also the professioÌ„ of true religion with the Kinges person

and the whole state froÌ„ danger to liue willingly in perpetual exile and bannishment God be thanked that after these seditious and trayterous subiectes haue bene so stout and storming in the rekoning vp and accumulating of faults and offenses of their innoceÌ„t Maistresse and Quene they are yet at the leÌ„gth forced to answere for theÌ„selues and for their excessiue outragious rebellious dooings Their glorious and glittering excuses may perhaps at the first shew seme to some of the Readers to haue a ioly face of much probabilitie great trueth and feruent zeale to the weale publike But may it please them aduisedly and depely to ponder and weigh aswel what we haue said as what we farther shal say in supplement of ful answere and then to iudge and deme of the mater none otherwise then reason equitie and law do craue they shalat length fynde out and throughly perceaue and know these mennes dealinges and doinges who as yet couer their foule filthy lying detestable practises and trayterouse enormities with suche a visarde of counterfeit fained holines and suche exceding greate shew of zeale to the Queenes honour in punishing malefactors and to the preseruation of the state of the Realme as though al the worlde would fal and go to ruine if it were not vpholden and vnderpropped by the strength of their shoulders They shal see how they wil appeare in their owne natural likenes so ougly that al good harts wil vtterly detest them and thinke them moste worthie for example sake to al the worlde hereafter of extreme punishment We affirme then first that as they haue produced nothing in the worlde touching the principal points as of the Lorde Darleyes death the acquital of the Earle Bothwel and the Queenes mariage with him iustly to charge her withal so are they them selues aswel for the said acquital and mariage as for their damnable and rebellious attempts against their Souereigne and for many other enormous crimes so farre and so depely charged so foule stained and so shamefully marked and noted that neuer shal they with al their hypocritical fine fetches be able to rubbe out the dirty blottes thereof from their skirts which thing wilbâ— easely perceaued of them that wil vouchesafe aduisedly to consider the friuolous and contradictorie excuses they make in their defence At the beginning their open surmised quarel whereby they went about to drawe the peoples hartes to them selues and to streÌ„gthen their owne faction stood in three points as appeareth by their excuses and by their pretensed Proclamations The first was to deliuer the Quene from the Earle Bothwel who violently deteined her and to preuent daungers imminent to her person The second to reuenge the Kings death vpon the said Bothwel whom they knew as they pretended to haue ben the principal doer in the execution of the said murther The thirde was to preserue the yonge Prince the Queenes sonne This is their ioly and holy pretense Nowe let vs see how conformable their worthy procedinges are to these their colourable cloked holy collusions The first gentle and humble admonition that these good louing subiectes gaue her to refourme these surmised enormities was in â—attail array at Bortwike Castle which they thought vpon the sodaine to haue possessed with the Queenes person Wherevpon they being disapointed therof gat into the Town and Fortresse of Edenboroug by the treason of Balfoure the Captaine thereof and of Cragmiler the Prouost of the Citie whereby they being the more animated to follow and prosecute their wicked enterprise begaÌ„ now to be strong in the field The Queene hauing also a good stroÌ„g army and thinking her self wel able therby to encounter with th' enemie and to represse their furious outrage yet notwithstaÌ„ding for the great loue and pitie she had to them though rebellious subiects willing as muche as in her lay to kepe and preserue their blood from sheding offred them faire of her owne free motion that if they would vse her as their Queene she would peaceably come to them and take due and conuenient order for the redresse of al suche thinges as might appeare by law and reason mete to be refourmed Wherevpon the Lorde Grange was sent by the Lordes to her who in al their names moste humbly vppon his knees assured her of al dewe obedience of securitie anâ— safetie of both her life and honour And ã€ˆâ—Šã€‰ the good Ladie her conscience bearing heâ— witnes of al her iust and vpright dealingeâ— and therfore nothing mistrusting dismissing her army yelded her self to the Lordes whâ— conueyed her to Edenborough and there set her at suche a meruelous libertie and ã€ˆâ—Šã€‰ suche securitie and safetie that al good meâ— to the worlds ende wil wonder at their exceding good loyaltie First they keping her owne Palaice seâ— and placed her in a merchants house and vsed her otherwise very homely She now considering and perceauing to what ende these matters tended most pitifully cried and called vpon them to remember their late promisse or at the least that she might be brought before the Counsaile offering to stande to the order and direction of the States of the realme But God knoweth al in vaine For now had they the pray whereon they inteÌ„ded to whet their bluddy teeth ere they did dismisse or forgoe her as the euent doth declare Wherefore in the night priuily she was conueyed and with haste in disguised apparel to the strong Forte of Lochleuen and after a few daies being stripâ—ed out and spoyled of al her princely atâ—rement was clothed with a course broune â—assoke After this these good loial subiects praâ—ising and encreasing more and more daily â—he performance of their saied promised â—bedience neuer ceassed vntil they had vsurped the ful authoritie and Regiment of the whole Into the which though they had intruded themselues yet seing as blinde as they were by disordinate vnseemely and vnmeasurable ambition that the Queene remained and was stil Queene and that there was no iust cause by the ordinarie course of the lawe or for any her demerits and deserts to bring her forth to her trial that she might be conuicted and deposed went like good honest plaine men and wel meaning subiects bluntly to worke and coÌ„sulted and determined to dispatche and rid her out of her life vnlesse she would yelde to them and subscribe suche writinges as they would send to her concerning the dimission of her Croune to her sonne and the Regiment of the Realme to the Earle of Murray Wherevpon th' Earle of Athele Secretâ—rie Ledington with other principals of theiâ— factious band sent Robert Miluen to
