OLUM.II mentioned by these authorities were the barbarous murder of Mary Queen of Soota, the aid given to the Flemish rebels the filibustering exploits of Drake and krz ,beth'e threats tothe Spanish Ambassador in London. Had the English Catholic/I &unwed disloyalty to Elizabeth at the time of the invasion, they would have had ample justification fox their conduct. Ace ruing to Green, upon Elizebeth'e accession three-fourths of the people were Oetholies, atid the made it her object to extiegnish the religion if the country by persecutiee. Daring the latter part of her reign the rack seldom stood tile. Over 200 priests e ere executed, and a still larger number died in the filthy prisons simply for following the faith of their ancestors.

But they did not permit their religion to interfere with their loyalty, and many Catholic gentlemen, when rehuied commissions, elected to nerve as volunteers, whilst others expended their money in fitting out ships to meet the Invader.

It was not a battle between forms of belief, and Catholics had been as earnest and determined in foiling the enterprise of Phillip as their Protestant fellow-countrymen. In the BALL& Army and 1 Navy the Catholics had always had their fair share in toils of war, and in spite of the treatment they had received, they were n_ver reluctant to bear their part of the burdens of be country.
