EXTRACTS FRDM COKF. S SPEECH ON 

 THE TRIAL OF GARNET. 



Because I am to deale ^^ith the 



name, hauing in it 158 great ships. 

 The purueyors, and forerunners of this 

 nauie and inuasion, w(;rc tlic lesuitcs, 

 and Garnet among tlicm being a 

 traitor, euen in his very entrance and 

 footing in the land. But the queene, 

 with her owne ships and her owne 

 siibiecls, did beate this armado, God 

 himself (whose cause, indecde, it was) 

 fighting for vs against them, by fire, 

 and seas, and windes, and rockes, and 



snperiour of the lesuites. I will onclv tempests, scattering all, and destroy- 

 touch such treasons as bauc bin plotteil n.-j; most of them. For offenso Crea- 



ipl 

 & wrought by the lesuites, ot whom 

 this man was snperiour, and those 

 treasons also sithens this Garnet his 

 comniing into England, u hereof hee 

 may truely say, Et quoram pars maf/na 

 fm. 



The comming of this Garnet into 

 England, (whicli very act was a trea- 

 son,) was about 20. yenres past, viz. in 

 Inly 1586. in the xxviij. yeere of the 

 raigne of the lale queene of famous 

 and blessed niemorie ; whereas the 



tore, ojfenditur omnis Creatnra, the 

 Creator being offended, enery crea- 

 ture is readily armed to reuenge his 

 qnarrell, in « hich respect hee is called 

 the Lord of hostes. So that of 158. 

 scarse 40. of their ships returned to 

 their bar of their owne hauen, and, as 

 it is reported, most of them also pe- 

 rished. 



Sitlience the lesuites set foote in 



this land, there neuer passed fnurc 



yeeres without a most pestilent and 



vere before, namely, the '27. yere of pernicious treason, tending to the sub- 



Eliz. there was a statute made, where- 

 by it was treason for anic who was 

 made a Romish priest by anie autlio- 

 ritie from the see of Rome, sithens the 

 fust yere of her raigne, to come into 

 her dominions. 



Nay, the bringing in of a bull by a

uersi<m of the whole state. After that 

 hostile inuasion in 88. the lesuites fell 

 againe to secret and treasonable prac- 

 tices: for then, in the yeare 92, came 

 Patricke Cullen, who was incited by 

 Sir William Stanly, Hugh Owen, 

 laques Fraunces, and Holt the lesuite, 

 and resolued by the said Holt to kill the

 a tenacity of life, which sets at defiance 

 the best energies of truth and rpason. 

 Bacon used to faint away dminean eclipse 

 of the sun ; and Newton laboined hard to 

 discover the philosopher's stone, and ex-

 at the bands of the said lesuite, toge-

 was both lawfull and meritorious to 

 kill her. Nay, said laques, that base 

 lanndresse sonne, (who was a conti- 

 nnall practiser both with this Cullen 

 and others, to destroy her maiestie,) 

 the state of England is and will bee so 

 setled. that vnlesse Mistris Elizabeth 

 be suddenly taken away, all the deuils 

 in bell will not be able to preuailc 

 against it, or shake it.
