One Night, as the Queen was in the Camp, guarded by her Army, the Lord Treasurer _Burleigh_ came thither, and delivered to the Earl of _Leicester_ the Examination of Don _Pedro_, who was taken and brought in by Sir _Francis Drake_; the Sum of which was this: Don _Pedro_ being asked what was the Intent of their coming, stoutly answer’d the Lords, What, but to subdue your Nation, and root it out. Good, said the Lords, and what meant you then to do with the Catholicks? He answered, We meant to send them (good Men) directly unto Heaven, as all you that are Hereticks to Hell. Yea but, said the Lords, What meant you to do with your Whips of Cord and Wyer? (whereof they had great Store in their Ships,) What, said he, we meant to whip you Hereticks to Death, that have assisted my Master’s Rebels, and done such Dishonours to our Catholick King and People. Yea, but what would you have done said they, with their young Children. They, said he, which were above seven Years old should have gone the Way their Fathers went; the rest should have lived, branded in the Forehead with the Letter _L_, for _Lutheran_, to perpetual Bondage, _Cabala_, p. 372. Letter to _Mendoza_, p. 37.——It was also published, that the Lords of _Spain_ which were in the Navy, had made a special Division amongst themselves, of all the Noblemens Houses in _England_ by their Names, and had in a sort quartered _England_ among themselves, and had determined of sundry manners of cruel Death, both of the Nobility and the rest of the People. The Ladies, Women, and Maidens were also destined to all Villany; the rich Merchants Houses in _London_ were put into a Register, by their very Names, and limited to the Companies of the Squadrons of the Navy for their Spoil.
