My loving people, we have been persuaded by some, that are careful of our
safety, to take heed how we commit ourselves to armed multitudes, for fear of
treachery; but I assure you, I do not desire to live to distrust my faithful and
loving people. Let tyrants fear; I have always so behaved myself that, under
God, I have placed my chiefest strength and safeguard in the loyal hearts and
good will of my subjects. And therefore I have come amongst you at this
time, not as for my recreation or sport, but being resolved, in the midst and
heat of the battle, to live or die amongst you all; to lay down, for my God, and
for my kingdom, and for my people, my honor and my blood, even the dust.
I know I have but the body of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart
of a king, and of a king of England, too; and think foul scorn that Parma or
Spain, or any prince of Europe, should dare to invade the borders of my
realms : to which, rather than any dishonor should grow by me, I myself will
take up arms; I myself will be your general, judge, and rewarder of every one
of your virtues in the field. I know already, by your forwardness, that you
have deserved rewards and crowns; and we do assure you, on the word of a
prince, they shall be duly paid you. In the mean my lieutenant general shall be
in my stead, than whom never prince commanded a more noble and worthy
subject; not doubting by your obedience to my general, by your concord in
the camp, and by your valor in the field, we shall shortly have a famous
victory over the enemies of my God, of my kingdom, and of my people.
