was set at liberty September III. And not long after I meet with him in Germany either a forced or a voluntary Exile From thence he passed into Italy and by the way left those adversary Epistles of Winchester and himselfe with his friend Coelius who put them in Print without the Authors privity At his returne to Germany he was kindly entertained at Strasbourg where he took up his old trade and set up shop againe being chosen publique Professor of the Greek tongue in that place This was a treasure which maintained him in his exile this he had not confiscate to the Queene this escaped the diligence of all the Searchers when he conveyed it out of the Kingdome Here he lived about two yeares in good repute till I know not what unluckie starres put him upon a journey into the Low Countries Nor is it well agreed what his businesse was there Some have said it was to marry a wife but what need of that when he was already matched to a young Lady who lived to see many happyer daies after his decease and dyed well nigh threescore yeares after him Anno 1616 Others report the occasion of this his voyage to be no more but a friendly interview and visit of the English Ambassadors then at Bruxelles and among them his ancient friend the Lord Pagett who engaged the faith of King PHILIP for his safe conduct But for the maine motive of this his voyage I subscribe to the relation of Sleidan as most ancient likely to be most true He tels us how Sr Iohn Cheeke went into Low Germany ut vxorem educeret to fetch his wife from thence who belike was lately come over out of England and meant to settle with him at Strasbourg Those words of Sleidan were as I conceive by an easie mistake corrupted into vxorem duceret and this was the first plantation of that opinion touching his marriage which sprung up afterwards into a popular errour But whatever was the occasion the event of that journey did not correspond to the undertakers hopes For in his returne from Bruxelles to Antwerp May XV 1556 both Sr Iohn Cheeke and Sr Peter Carew were waylay'd by the Provost Marshall for King PHILIP beaten from their horses tyed hand and foot to the bottome of a Cart and so conveyed hoodwinckt to the next Haven where they were Shipt under hatches and their first landing place was the Tower of London where they were committed to close Prison It is said there be some Writers that have made both these men Martyrs two yeares before and assigned them a place in the Calendar Iune XIII 1554 the day upon which they were supposed to be burned both at the same Stake and for the same Cause But the truth is otherwise Sr Peter Carew outlived all his troubles and underwent many honorable services under Queene ELIZABETH and dyed in Ireland above twenty yeares after this supposed Martyrdome Anno 1575. Sr Iohn Check's lott was somewhat harder he was put to this miserable choyce either to forgoe his life or what is farre more precious his liberty of conscience No meane neither his great learning his knowne integrity the intercession of his friends and among them Abbot Fekenhans a man which could doe somewhat with Queene MARY could compound for his pardon at any lower rate then the recantatiof his Religion This he was loath to accept till his hard usage in prison joyned with thereats of worse upon his perseverance and faire promises to his submission with what other insinuating meanes humane pollicie could invent to work upon flesh and blood drew from his mouth an abrenuntiation of that truth which he had so long professed and still believec Vpon this he was sooner restored to his libertie but never to his content The sense and sorrow for his fall in himselfe and the daily sight of that cruell butchery which was exercised upon others for the constant profession of the truth made such deep impressions in his broken soule as brought him to a speedy but comfortable end of a miserable life He died at London in the house of Peter Osberne Esquier in September 1557. His body lies buried in St Albans Woodstreet with this Epitaph upon his tombe Doctrinae CHECUS linguaeque utriusque Magister Aurea naturae fabrica morte jacet Non erat Ä— multis unus sed praestitit unus Omnibus patriae flos erat ille suae Gemma Britanna fuit tam magnum nulla tulerunt Tempora thesaurum tempora nulla ferent I doe not finde any issue that he left of his body save one sonne which bare his own name a comely young man and a stout slaine in his Princes service at the siege of Fort del Or in Jreland 1580. the onely man of ours that was lost in that daies service But for the issue of his braine that 's more numerous and for their sakes which are delighted in such pedigrees I have set downe this succeeding Catalogue of Sr IOHN CHEEKES Works Scripsit CL V.

those have yee miserably and cruelly slaine and bathed you in their bloud whose doings yee should have followed and so have appaired the Commonwealth both by destruction of good men and also by increase of Rebels And how can that Commonwealth by any meanes indure wherein every man without authoritie may unpunished slay whom he list and that in such case as those who be slaine shew themselves most noble of courage and most readie to serve the King and the Commonwealth and those as doe slay be most villanous and traiterous Rebels that any Common-wealth did ever sustaine For a Citie a Province bee not the faire houses and the strong walls nor the defence of any engine but the living bodies of men being able in number and strength to maintain themselves by good order of justice and to serve for all necessarie and behoueable uses in the Common-wealth And when as mans body being a part of the whole Commonwealth is wrongfully touched any way and specially by death then suffereth the Commonwealth great injurie and that alway so much the more how honester and nobler he is who is injuriously murdered How was the Lord Sheffeld handled among you a noble Gentleman and of good service both fit for counsell in peace and for conduct in warre considering either the gravitie of his wisdome or the authoritie of his person or his service to the Commonwealth or the hope that all men had in him or the need that England had of such or among many notably good his singular excellency or the favour all men bare toward him being loved of every man and hated of no man Considered yee who should by dutie be the Kings Subjects either how yee should not have offended the King or after offence have required the Kings pardon or not to have refused his goodnesse offered or at length to have yeelded to his mercy or not to have slain those who came for his service or to have spared those who in danger offered ransome But all these things for gotten by rage of rebellion because one madnesse cannot be without infinite vices yee slew him cruelly who offered himselfe manfully nor would not spare for ransome who was worthy for noblenesse to have had honour and hewed him bare whom yee could not hurt armed and by slavery slew nobilitie indeed miserably in fashion cruelly in cause divellishly Oh with what cruell spite was violently sundred so noble a body from so godly a mind Whose death must rather be revenged then lamented whose death was no lack to himselfe but to his countrey whose death might every way been better borne then at a Rebels hand Violence is in all things hurtfull but in life horrible What should I speake of others in the same case divers notable whose death for manhood and service can want no worthy praise so long as these ugly stirres of rebellion can bee had in minde God hath himselfe joyned mans body his soule together not to be parted asunder afore he either dissever them himselfe or cause them to be dissevered by his minister And shall Rebels and headlesse camps being armed against God and in field against their King think it no fault to shed bloud of true subjects having neither office of God nor appointment of ministers nor just cause of rebellion He that stealeth any part of a mans substance is worthie to loose his life What shall we thinke of them who spoile men of their liues for the maintenance whereof not only substance and riches bee sought for but also all common wealths be devised Now then your own consciences should be made your judges and none other set to give sentence against yee seeing yee have been such bloudsheders so hainous man-quellers so horrible murderers could you doe any other then plainly confesse your foule and wicked rebellion to bee grievous against God and traiterous to the King and hurtfull to the Commonwealth So many grievous faults meeting together in one sinke might not onely have discouraged but also driven to desperation any other honest or indifferent mind But what feele they whose hearts so deep mischiefe hath hardned and by vehemencie of affection be made unshamefast and stop all discourse of reason to let at large the full scope of their unmeasurable madnesse Private mens goods seeme litle to your unsatiable desires yee have waxed greedie now upon Cities and have attempted mighty spoiles to glut up if you could your wasting hunger Oh how much have they need of that will never be contented and what riches can suffice any that will attempt high enterprises above their estate Yee could not maintaine your camps with your private goods with your neighbours portion but yee must also attempt Cities because yee sought great spoiles with other mens losses had forgotten how yee lived at home honestly with your own and thought them worthy death that would disquiet yee in your house and pluck away that which yee by right of law thought to be your own Herein see what yee would have done spoiled the Kings Majesties subjects weakned the Kings strength overthrowne his townes taken away his munition drawne his subjects to like rebellion yea and as it is among forraine enimies in sacking of Cities no doubt thereof yee would have fallen to slaughter of men ravishing of wives deflouring of Maidens chopping of children firing of houses beating downe of streets overthrowing of all together For what measure have men in the increase of madnesse when they cannot at the beginning stay themselves from falling into it And if the besetting of one house to robbe it be justly deemed worthie death what shall we think of them that besiege whole Cities for desire of spoile We live under a King to serve him at all times when hee shall need our strength and shall yee then not only withdraw your selves which ought as much to be obedient as we be but also violently pluck other away too from the dutie unto the which by Gods commandment all subjects be straightly bound and by all lawes every nation is naturally led The townes be not only the ornament of the Realme but also the seat of Merchants the place of Handycrafts that men scattered in Villages needing divers things may in litle roome know where to finde their lack To overthrowe them then is nothing else but to waste your owne commodities so that when yee would buy a necessary thing for mony yee could not tell where to find it Munition serveth the King not only for the defence of his own but also for the invasion of his enimie And if yee will then so straitly deale with him that yee will not let him so much as defend his own yee offer him double injurie both that ye let him from doing any notable fact abroad and also that yee suffer not him quietly to injoy his own at home But herein hath notably appeared what Cities have faithfully served and suffered extreame danger not only of goods but also of
