WHen first the gracious God of heaven, by meanes did bring to light: the Treasons lately practised, by many a wicked wight. Against their Prince whose life they sought, & many a noble Peere: the substance of whose treasons strange, you shal most truly heare. O Lord preserve our noble Queene, her Counsaile long maintaine: Confound her foes and graunt her grace in health to rule and raigne. Their Treasons once discovered, then were the Traytors sought: some of them fled into a Wood, where after they were caught. And being broughte unto the Tower, for joye the Belles did ring: and throughout London Bonefiers made, where people Psalmes did sing O Lord preserve our noble Queene, etc. And set their Tables in the streetes, with meates of every kinde: where was preparde all signes of joye, that could be had in minde. And praysde the Lord most hartely, that with his mightie hand: he had preserved our gracuous Queene, and people of this Land. O Lord preserve our noble Queene, etc. Which thing was taken in good parte, by our renowned Queene: who by her Letters gave them thankes, as playnly may be seene. Assuring them that all her care, was for their safetie still: and that thereby she would deserve, their love and great good will. O Lord preserve our noble Queene, etc. The Traytors well examined, (whom God himselfe bewrayed:) their Treasons knowne, then were they straight to Westminster convaied. Whereas they all indited were, of many a vile pretence: seaven pleaded guiltie at the Barre, before they went from thence. The maner how they did begin, herein will playne appeare: their purposes in each respect, you shall most truely heare. Herein unto you will be seene, if they had not bene foylde: our Queene, our Realme, yea rich and, poore together had bene spoilde. One Savidge lurking long in Fraunce, at Rheames did there remaine: whom Doctor Gifford did perswade, great honor hee should gaine. If that he would goe take in hand, (these matters very straunge:) first to deprive our gracious Queene, Religion for to chaunge. And then for to invade the Realme, by troupes of foraine power: to overthrowe the government, and kill her in her Bower. Or forceably to dispossesse, the Queene of Englands Grace: and to proclaime the Scottish Queene, and set her in her place. Which matter Savidge promised, his full performance too: so that he might see warrant with, safe Conscience so to doo. The Doctor vowed by his Soule, and bad him understand: it was an honourable thing, to take the same in hand. When Savidge heard that merites were, to him therby so rife: he vowed for to doe the same, or else to lose his life. And shortly into England hyed, and did imparte the same: to Babington of Darbyshire, a man sure voyd of shame. And tolde him how that he had vowed, to doe it or to dye: desiring him of helpe and ayde, and that immeadiatly. A Jesuit Priest whom Ballard hight, came over to that end: he came also to Babington, and dayly did attend. Still to perswade him that he would, attempt and take in hand: this vilde and wicked enterprise, and stoutly to it stand. And tolde him that he should have ayde, of sixtie thousand men: that secretly should landed be, and tolde him how and when. And in respect of all his paines, he truely might depende: that it was lawefull so to doe, Renowne should be the ende.
But let all Traytors nowe perceive, what honor he hath wonne: whose trayterous head and wicked heart, hath many a one undone. This proude and hautie Babington, in hope to gaine renowne: did stirre up many wilfull men, in many a Shire and Towne. To ayde him in this devilish act, and for to take in hand: the spoyle of our renowned Prince, and people of this Land. Who did conclude with bloodie blade, a slaughter to commit: upon her Counsell as they should, within Star Chamber sit. Which is a place wheras the Lordes, and those of that degree: yeeldes Justice unto every man, that craves it on their knee. Yea famous London they did meane, for to have sackt beside: both Maior and Magistrates therin, have murdered at that tide. Eache riche mans goodes had beene their owne, no favour then had served: nought but our wealth was their desire, though wee and ours had starved. Besides these wicked practises, they had concluded more: the burning of the Navie and, the cheefest Shippes in store: With fire and sworde they vowed, to kill and to displace: eache Lord Knight and Magistrate, true subjects to her Grace. They had determinde to have cloyde, and poysoned out of hand: the cheefe and greatest Ordinaunce, that is within this Land. And did entend by violence, on rich men for to fall: to have their money and their Plate, and to have spoild them al. The Common wealth of England soone, should therby have bene spoylde: our goodes for which our Parents and, ourselves long time have toylde. Had all bene taken from us, besides what had ensued: the substaunce proveth playnely, to soone wee all had rewed. Those were the Treasons they conspyrde, our good Queene to displace: to spoyle the states of all this Land, such was their want of grace: But God that doth protect her still, offended at the same: Even in their young and tender yeares, did cut them of with shame. These Traytors executed were, on Stage full strongly wrought: even in the place where wickedly, they had their Treasons sought. There were they hangde and quatered, there they acknowledged why: who like as Traytors they had lived, even so they seemde to dye. O wicked Impes, O Traytors vilde, that could these deedes devise: why did the feare of God and Prince, departe so from your eyes. No Rebelles power can her displace, God will defend her still: true subjectes all will lose their lives, ere Traytors have their will. How many mischiefes are devisde? how many wayes are wrought: how many vilde Conspyracies, against her Grace is sought. Yet God that doth protect her still, her Grace doth well preserve: and workes a shame unto her foes, as they doe best deserve. O heavenly God preserve our Queene, in plentie health and peace: confounde her foes, maintaine her right, her joyes O Lord increase. Lord blesse her Counsaile evermore, and Nobles of this Land: preserve her Subjects, and this Realme, with thy most mightie hand.
