A table gathered ouut of a booke named A treatise of treasons against Q. Elizabeth, and the croune of England latelie compiled by a stranger and sent owt of France ...

Treasons in particular against the Queenes per∣son, the realme and right succession.

THE conspiratours induced the Q. to holde her selfe vnmaried: whereby the howse of England might consume in it selfe, and that whole line finishe in, and with her person.

They haue preuented, that none be de∣clared, nor accepted as heyre by lawe: and by pretence of lawe haue compassed that the Q. haue no heire iudiciallie.

They meane by pretence of lawe to im∣peache al interestes and titles to the crowne that the trial thereof maie come to the swoard, the principal force whereof resteth in the conspiratours handes.

They haue by spetial lawe prouided vn∣der paine of treason that their be no know∣en heire in succession established, and that the knowen heire be made not knowen.

They haue circumuented the Queene to extinct her owne line, and made her an instrument to remoue the Queene of Scotl. whose depriuation they haue alreadie pro∣cured.

The keping of the Queene of Scotland in prison, is a plaine promise of their in∣dempnitie, for murdering the Queene her selfe.

They gouerne tirannically, whereby to bring the Q. in hatred, an to kendle in the hartes of the people à wearines of her sub∣iection: that they may be the gladder to embrace such mutation as they intend and will attempt, when they shal think the time ripe by death or depriuation to remoue her.

They haue deuided the realme into fa∣ctions for the Crowne, by preferring vn∣timelie the third howse before the se∣cond.

They haue made the Q. a warde at 40. yeres age, and her suertie lesse by the halfe: and made her an instrument to vn∣doe her selfe, and do leade her to her owne destruction.

Their last new law taking his effect, lea∣ueth the Crowne without proprietarie to claime it.

They haue compassed the extincting of the howse and line of Englād, and brought it euen to the brin•…•…k, to be finallie ended, when them selues list.

Their trait•…•…rous practises threaten ma∣nifestlie the Q. speedie ruine.

They haue made halfe an execution of the Q. removing, whiles the Q. of Scot∣land is in their handes, that rule all.

They take frome the Q. her principall defences and faithful frindes: The Duke of Northf. faithfullie affectioned: the Q. of Scotl. nere in bloud, and next in law to s•…•…ccede: Sir Nicolas Throgmorton faithful to his prince, of deepe foresight, and of coū∣sel inventiue.

They abuse the Q. authoritie, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 for∣ces and treasures, to the danger of her

state, to the dishonours and infamie of her •…•…erson.

They abuse the Q. name to sowe sedi∣•…•…on, to raise rebellion in the prouinces ad∣•…•…yning.

They impouerish the subiectes by •…•…onsumption of treasures caried owt of the •…•…lme, for wageing forrein rebelles, deui∣•…•…g new exactions, collections and lotte∣•…•…s.

They make them selues mightie in mo∣•…•…y and armour: they acquire honour, •…•…rchasses, offices, titles, stiles, and au∣•…•…oritie over the nobilitie: whereby they •…•…ue the sweete and the Queene the •…•…wer.

They vnite them selues, and incorporat •…•…eir children to the third howse of Suf∣•…•…ke, wherevnto their finall treason is to •…•…ing the Crowne by prevention.

They prevent by their owne force, and •…•…ndes, to be hable to geue the Crowne to •…•…hom they list.

They applie the Q. consent to what •…•…ey list they geve, they take, they dispose, •…•…ey deny, they place and displace, they 〈◊〉〈◊〉 and distroie whom they list.

They abused the name of the Q. to the •…•…ying of sondrie exactiōs over the people, there with to corrupt the noblest subiectes

of france, Flanders and Scotl. to leuie ar∣mes against their soueraignes.

The chiefe Conspiratour aspireth to go∣uern still, to leaue his succession cosins to the crowne, annombred among the noblest and what more noman yet knoweth.
