And that the design was still carried on against the Queen upon account of Religion, and the Realm to have been invaded by the Spaniard on that account, and that the principal point of the Plot was to prepare a party within the Realm that might adhere to the invaders; all this with much more Sir Francis Walsingham (that well knew) hath testified to Monsieur Critoy in his Letter, Cabal. part. 2. pag. 39.
Thuanus a Moderate Papist (and a most knowing and impartial Historian) tells you (lib. 89. p. 248, 249. ad an. 1588.) that, [the Spaniards pretended to undertake the expedition only for Religion sake, and therefore took with them Martin Alarco Vicar general of the Holy Inquisition, with abundance of Capuchins and Jesuits: and that they had with them the Popes Bull, which they were to publish as soon as they landed, and that Cardinal Allan was appointed as the Popes Legate to land at the same time, and with full power to see to the restoring of Religion. And that the said Bull had these expressions: that the Pope, by the Power given from God by lawful succession of the Catholic Church, for the defection of Henry the eighth who forcibly separated himself and his people from the communion of Christians, which was promoted by Edward the sixth and Elizabeth, who being pertinaceous and impenitent in the same Rebellion and Usurpation—therefore (the Pope) incited by the continual persuasions of many, and by the suppliant prayers of the English men themselves, (N. B.) hath dealt with diverse Princes, and specially the most potent King of Spain—to depose that woman, and punish her pernicious adherents in that Kingdom—] Read the rest there; for though wicked, its worth the reading. The Pope there saith, that Pope Sixtus before him prescribed the Queen, and took from her all her Dignities, Titles, and Rights to the Kingdom of England ⟨p. 353⟩and Ireland, absolving her subjects from the Oath of fidelity and obedience: He chargeth all men on pain of the wrath of God, that they afford her no favour, help, or aid, but use all their strength to bring her to punishment; and that all the English join with the Spaniard as soon as he is landed: offering rewards and pardon of sins, to them that will lay hands on the Queen; and so showing on what Conditions he gave the Kingdom to Philip of Spain. This and more you may see in Thuanus.
