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. Letter to _Mendoza_, p.

This Account is taken from the relation given above, and from certain
Advertisements out of _Ireland_, and Depositions of Prisoners, printed
in 1588, with which _Strada_ and the _Spanish_ Writers agree. But our
Historians vary extremely in this, as well as other Particulars:
_Hakluyt_, vol. i. p. 604. and others, say the _Spaniards_ lost eighty
one Ships out of their hundred and thirty two; and that there return’d
to _Spain_ only one of the Galleasses of _Naples_, one of the four
Galleons of _Portugal_, and thirty three of the Galleons and Hulks
from divers Provinces, _&c._ _Stow_ affirms there return’d to _Spain_
only threescore Sail; and others say only fifty three. See _Purchas,
Thuanus_ l. lxxxix. _Harris, Speed, &c._
