A.D. THE ENGLISH VOYAGES 



1588. 



there were cast away certaine Spanish shippes, out of 

 [I. 605. J which were saved divers Captaines and Gentlemen, and 

 almost foure hundred souldiers, who for the most part, 

 after their shipwracke, were brought unto Edenborough 

 in Scotland, and being miserably needy and naked, were 

 there clothed at the liberality of the King and the Mar- 

 chants, and afterward were secretly shipped for Spaine ; 

 but the Scotish fleet wherein they passed touching at 

 Yarmouth on the coast of Norfolke, were there stayed 

 for a time untill the Councels pleasure was knowen ; who 

 in regard of their manifolde miseries, though they were 

 enemies, wincked at their passage. 



Upon the Irish coast many of their Noblemen and 

 Gentlemen were drowned ; and divers slaine by the bar- 

 barous and wilde Irish. Howbeit there was brought 

 prisoner out of Ireland, Don Alonzo de Lu9on, Colonell 

 of two and thirtie bandes, commonly called a terza of 

 Naples ; together with Rodorigo de Lasso, and two 

 others of the family of Cordova, who were committed 

 unto the custodie of Sir Horatio Palavicini, that Monsieur 

 de Teligny the sonne of Monsieur de la NoOe (who 

 being taken in fight neere Antwerpe, was detained 

 prisoner in the Castle of Turney) might be raunsomed 

 for them by way of exchange. To conclude, there was 

 no famous nor woorthy family in all Spaine, which in 

 this expedition lost not a sonne, a brother, or a kinse- 

 man. 

 New coines For the perpetuall memorie of this matter, the

 the Spaniards Stamped : which on the one side contained the armes 

 overthrow. of Zeland, with this inscription : GLORY TO GOD

 teine great ships, with these words : THE SPANISH 

 FLEET : and in the circumference about the ships : 

 IT CAME, WENT, AND WAS. Anno 1588. That 

 is to say, the Spanish fleet came, went, and was van- 

 quished this yere ; for which, glory be given to God 

 onely.
