Such malicious makebates about Princes and parliaments, never lacked in common weals. By such king Ethelstane was incensed to kill his brother Edwin, pag. 159. So was king Edward 2. deposed. So likewise when king Richard 2. was once brought into the Tower, what crimes and accusations were laid against him in the Parliament? So was Humphrey the good Duke of Gloucester, the kings uncle, by Henry Beaufort bishop of Winchester and other in the Parliament holden at Berry, arrested as a traitor, and falsely made away, pag. 160. What great treason was in the words of him, who dwelling in Cheap side at the sign of the Crown, said merrily to his son, that if he lived, he would make him heir of the crown: & yet was he therefore attainted and judged for a Traitor? pag. 701. In the time of king Henry the 8. how was that Parliament incensed, wherein both Queen Anne was falsely condemned, and Queen Elizabeth her daughter, as falsely disherited? To omit here the Attainder of the Duke of Buckingham wrought by the Cardinal of York: Of the lord Cobham likewise, and sir Roger Acton, pag. 150 If the cause of the lord Henry late Earle of Surrey were well tried out, peradventure no such heinous purpose of any treason should be found therein as than was made. Who incensed the late Duke of Somerset to behead his own brother, but such makebates as these? And afterward when the said Duke himself was attainted for a traitor and condemn ned for a felon, a briber and extortioner: how was the parliament then incensed? Adam Damlip received of Cardinal Poole at Rome, but a silly crown in way of alms, and therefore by means of Steven Gardiner was attainted for a traitor. George Eagles did but read some time in woods and by the said Gardiner was also condemned and suffered as a traitor.
