Excerpt from Secret Memoirs of Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, Prime Minister and Favourite of Queen Elizabeth: Containing an Instructive Account of His Ambition, Designs, Intrigues, Excessive Power; His Engrossing the Queen, With the Dangerous Consequence of That Practice, &C
This was the last Scene of his Ambitition, in which how dexterously he acted his part, is hard to say. For our own Historians have reported little of his Transactions abroad, and Grotius and Strada, who have given the largest Accounts, are so manifestly partial and unjust, both to the Queen, and the whole English Nation, that we may reasonably suspect their Relations of him, whom his Country-men in his time more immediately fear'd and hated.
The Partiality of the first of these, springs manifestly from a desire to covet the notorious Ingratitude of his Country-men to Queen Elizabeth, and the English Nation, to whose generous and disinterested assistance, they entirely owe the Establishment of their Liberty and Religion, and the Excussion of the Spanish Yoke.
