HISTORIC SKETCHES. III. 



SIR RICHARD GRENVILLE, WHEN HE CRIED "NO SUBEENDEB!" 



DURINO tho time Queon Elizabeth was on tho throne of 

 England (1558 to 1603), there was a public feeling of a kind 

 and intensity unequalled by any that has existed either before 

 or since. It was a feeling in which political and religious 

 hatred were closely combined, and which was fanned from a 

 spark to a flame by repeated provocations. There are those yet 

 living who can freshly remember the rancorous animosity which 

 existed in this country towards the French, when the great 

 French war was at its height. That animosity, bitter as it 

 was, and tersely expressed in tho summary of advice which 

 Nelson is said to have given his midshipmen " Fear God ; 

 honour tho king; and hate a Frenchman as yon do tho devil " 

 was not, if wo may judge from tho circumstances attending 

 it, so bitter, or so uncompromising as tho hatred Elizabeth's 

 Englishmen had for the Spaniard and the Pope. 



In that day, tho kingdom of Spain, which now boa sunk so 

 low, was only being weighed in tho balance. She hod beet 

 found wanting in many things which, as tho event proved, 

 were necessary to her Life as a nation ; but sho had not been 

 found wanting in strength. Her power was enormous, and tho 

 ambition of her princes aimed at universal dominion. Spain, 

 tho Netherlands, Naples, and Sicily were her European posses- 

 sions, and in Germany her influence was all-powerful. In the 

 East Indies tho sovereignty of tho King of Spain was acknow- 

 ledged in many a place, while the whole of the Western 

 hemisphere was under his sway. By succession, by marriage, 

 by purchase, or by conquest, tho territory of tho Spanish king 

 was so great that it was well said the sun never set in his 

 dominions. The wealth of tho mines of Mexico and Pern was 

 his ; the most splendid troops that Europe could produce did 

 his bidding ; diplomatists the most subtle and the most accom- 

 plished were his servants, and among his naval and military 

 commanden were men of names tho most renowned aid 

 illustrious. No other power in Europe, whether allied or single- 

 handed, was willing to measure itself with Spain ; th<- 

 were BO groat, tho issues eo momentous, that lesser rations 

 preferred to put up almost with anything rather than bring 

 down upon their people tho wrath of the cruel and haughty 

 Spaniards. It was only when desperation mode men blind to 

 tho consequences that resistance was offered to the dominant 

 ard domineering power and then, as in the Netherlands, whet*
