 Spanish Arim^dii. Vhc voyage from.\liollatid and 
 landiQife|^ William of Oran^^c at Torbay, in 
 ICngliSo! the j^icgc of Derry, the overthrow of 
 the Gunpowder iMot, and the Hattle of the 
 Hoync. Among the years" memorable in Eng- 
 lish history, 1588 will long hold, on all accounts, 
 a conspicuous place. In that year England 
 began to illustrate such latent powers, imperial 
 courage and superior skill in naval warfare, 
 that she s6on successfully asserted her right to 
 be styled mistress of the sQas,an honor hitherto 
 enjoyed by Spain. In rememheHng the days 
 of old, and in considering the years of many

 generations, we Hhall speak of hni^land's glori. 
 oi^ victory over the " Invinciblr Ajrnada," and 
 the proud hosts of Catholic Spain, and tell how 
 British freemen, fufl of British valor, thou^jh 
 comparatively few in number,, and of limited 
 resources, by the favor of Providence won a 
 complete victory over th^ imnftetisc, well dis- 
 ciplined and organized forces of S|»ain. Also 
 how they defeated and brought to naught a 
 complicated and liangerous plot for the subju- 
 ^gation of their civil rights to Spain and their 
 religious freedom to Rome ; and how the vet- 
 eran army of Jhc invaders and their proud 
 Armada were broken to pieces, and became like 
 chaff before the winds. We who inherit the 
 blessed fruits and results' of that unecjual struggle, 
 owe the memory of those heroic sires by whom 
 they were ,i^ nobly and successfully achieved, 
 the tribute of a loving remembrance and appre- 
 ciative mention, that their honored names and 
 deeds may never fade or perish from the mem- 
 ory of their children. We also owe *t to the

 •Before proceeding to relate the causes, motives, 
 -and designs of the Spanish invasion of England, 
 we will introduce the chief personages of the 
 dfama. The first was Philip II., King of Spain. 
 He claimed the power of life and death over all 
 his^ubjects. He proclaimed war or made peace 
 without consulting any of his nobles, rulers or 
 people. The^r substance, houses, as well as 
 money and goods, he regarded as his, even as the 
 people themselves belonged to him. It might be 
 said o/him as Daniel said of Nebuchadnezzar, 
 the despot of Babylon, that God had given him 
 a kingdom and majesty, and that his people of " 
 every nation and language trembled and feared 
 before him ; whom lie would he set Up, and 
 whom he would he put down. He associated 
 with none but Spaniards, carried on his govern- 
 ment almost exclusively by Spaniards. He had 
 all the pride, exclusiveness and intolerance of a 
 genuine Spaniard, but he was a Spaniard above 
 all in zeal for the papal religion, and hatred of 
 
./ ■ ■■:- 9 . 
 
 all other forms of belier The Holy Inquisition, 
 established in Spain, was a portion of the regular 
 working machinery by which his absolute king- 
 ship and his superhuman will expressed them- 
 selves. The Grand Inquisitor was almost as 
 awful a pers^ge as the king or the pope. The 
 kingdom of Pfilip,the most Catholic king, as he 
 delighted to be^ called, excelled any in Europe 
 during his day in wealth, population and power. 
 For several years his power over Europe was 
 greater than even that of Napoleon. TheSpani|h 
 infantry were the most renowned, wh^eth^ 
 Spanish generals were unrivalled in j;urope. 
 Another distinguished name and ally oit the 
 Spanish side was Eoi^e Sixtus V. There was 
 besides, the Mar^_oJL-Sai^^ the kmg 
 
 appointed him/captain-general of the whole 
 Armada. He m the rare good fortunepf having 
 never lost a life W^^Skained a (ide^t during 
 thirtyTeai^f public service. Among the Eng- 
 lish "^leis; ithe first name in prominence and 
 importance is Elizabeth Tudor, Queen of Eng- 
 land. When she ascended the throne in j^ig^ 
 she was twenty-five years of age. She was con- 
 sequently fifty-five when the invasion took place.

 During the reign of Elizabeth, the population of 
 England did, not reach quite four and a half 
 million souLs. The population .of London in that 
 day was about 150,000. Next afte'r the queen 
 we may mention the name of Robert Dudley 
 Earl of Leice,,ter ; Robert DevereUx, Eatl of 
 Essex. The queen had long experience in the 
 govprnment of England at the date of the Span- 
 ish invasion. She had the aid of many singu- 
 larly wse, able and patrotc statesmen. First 
 she had Lord Burleigh, Sir Francis Walsing-' 
 ham, Sir Walter Raleigh, Lord Howard Sir 
 
 FrajHJs..p_rake-who was the first Englishi^n 
 to^Etmiinnavigatc the globe, and who had by 
 h>s bold deeds upon the high seas, made his 
 name a terror to the King of Spain-he was ap- 
 pomted vice-admiral of the English fleet ; Captain 
 trobisher, Hawkins, Cavendish, Lord Thomas 
 Seymour, Sir William Winter, and" many others 
 were conspicuous for gallantry and patriotism: 
 Besides such statesmen, sea-captains, and sol- 
 diers, England was in that age illustrated in the 
 realms of thought and letters by the genius of 
 Bacon, Spenser, and ShaJ^eare-names suffi. 
 cient to throw an undying lustre on any age •

 The causes and motives of the invasion. The 
 Reformation was the cau^c, new light had en- 
 tered men's minds. The question was not now 
 what the pope, the clergy, or the Church com- 
 manded, but what the Bible ,command6d. The 
 minds of men were emancipated from the tyr- . 
 army of those who palled themselves the Church . 
 and claimed to sway all the power of heaven 
 and earth; The papacy, which then as now, 
 claimed supremacy over both State and Church, 
 
 over both the consciences and conduct ot . 
 men Spain strove to extinguish the life of 
 the ReformBtion. Dke JSM^^n's fleece, when, 
 all around was wet with the dews of" heaven, 
 Spain alone remained dry. The' holy office of . 
 the Inquisition was put in motiott. It had a 
 ■ fatally perfect organization. It was sustained 
 by all the power of the Crown. ^ V 
 
 : It had its inquisitors ahd executioners among 
 the Jesuits. The 'Inquisition was set up by 
 CharlssJkL From the beginning ^f the Refor- 
 mation to the abdication of Charles in i^, 
 . there were strangled, burned, beheaded or buried 
 : . alive, not less than .ioopoa£es|ons. The Kmg

 The objeet that the King of Spain set before

 vast army, ,„d concentrating his resources and

 Don Martin AWcon; Administrator of the 
 
 Inquisition. He had with him a plentifur'sup- 
 ply oi those pointed arguments, neck^stretchers, 
 pincers, thumb-screws, and all such instru. 
 ments as humble the proud, and dispose hard- 
 hearted persons to sorrow, if not repentance. 
 He also had a: good many relics and bones of 
 dead saints. T|e whole jiumber qf souls on board 
 the Armada was over 20^00, On the eve of 
 ' its departure'^the Armada Was duly blessed by 
 Cardinal Archduke Albert, the Viceroy of Por- 
 tugal. A Grand Army was formedJnLBanders 
 df the Netherlands, which was to co-operate 
 with the Armada in the invasion and conquest 
 of England. It was in command of the Duke 
 of Parma, and consisted of 0Q,€)O O troops. A' 
 great ambition sprang up among the adherents 
 of the King of Spain and followers of the Pope 
 to crush, by a grand united effort, the force of 
 Protestantism, and to silence their hated cry for 
 civil and religious liberty. Such a fleet had 
 . never before invaded any land. How can it 
 "fail ? said superstitious Catholics. England 
 must fall and glory cover Spain 1 The King 
 who rules in heayen had otherwise determined- 
 
^ ^ As the fleet left the harbor the captaingen- 
 eral. sounded his trumpet, every captain did the 
 same, an(|tHF whole Armada put to sea with a 
 grand bjre of trumpets. It was called the 
 Iftvincibl^ Armada: A violent ^torm overtook 
 them, which seriously brpkfe and scattered the 
 'fleet Some ships were lost, many disabled, and 
 all the remainder were in need of repair. Eng- 
 land was in danger from the Roman Catholics 
 in England. Fully one-half of the population 
 yet adhered to^^the Catholic Church. The Pope 
 excommunicated Queen Elizabeth, though she" 
 did not belong to his communion, he branded 
 her name vvith infamy. He deposed her from 
 her throne, though his supremacy was- not 
 acknowledged in England. He absolved her 
 subjects from obedience and oaths of allegiance' 
 to her, and proclaimed a crusade against Eng- 
 land as a nation of heretics and infidels. He 
 also granted indulgences to all who would par 
 ticpate in the crusade. Philip claimed that 
 his supreme motive in this great enterprise was 
 the love of God and the honor of ,:eligion. 
 
 The Armada is first seen by the English fleet ^^ 
 on July 2otMnd on the 2 ist pf July, about nine

 in the morning, the Hects approached bach other. 
 The fight waxes very hot, and a fiijrce and pro- 
 longed struggle ensues. The English fleet did 
 grand service. It had, during two weeks ot 
 almost continuous fight'ing.cripplcd and driven 
 from the English shores the mightiest armament 
 which had ever approachcd^them— a fleet more 
 than twice the tonnage of their own, having 
 twice.as many men| In that short time it had 
 brought to ruin the plans and prcparaticms of 
 several years^ There was an unseen, a Divine 
 arm stretched out directing and overruling all— 
 . the'arm of the Supreme. Ruler of the world. He 
 commanded, and this diabolical scheme com- 
 pletely failed! A medal was dast with this in- 
 scription, "The Lord blew upoh them and they 
 were scattered." By His winds He began, and 
 by fhem as His ministers He completed, the 
 destruction of the Armada,"

 there were about lo.ooo who returned to Spain 
 Never in the records of history was the event 
 of war on one side more entirely satisfactory and 
 glorious, on the other more deeply humihat- 
 ins and utterly disgraceful. Their invincible 
 and dreadful navy, with all its great and terrible 
 ostentation, did not,-in all their sailing about 
 England, so much as sink or take one ship 
 The king said, " I sent out my ships thinking I 
 was a match for the powers of England, but I 
 did not pretend to fight against the elements " 
 Why had Spain fallen? The revival of the 
 sixteenth century was by an intolerantr and 
 despotic king and high priest, with the aid of 
 the Inquisition, banished from Spain. The 
 people dare not breathe the wholesome air of 
 liberty of thought, of conscience, of civil or 
 religious liberty. The arbitrary and unpaternal 
 
 character of its government, which never fostered 
 industry, manufactures, culture of mind en- 
 lightenment or elevation of the masses, nine- 
 tenths of the population of Spain in those days 
 
 were na more than the slaves to the other tenth 
 The people of England and Holland recognized

 There was general thanksgiving throughout 
 England. The Protestant ascendancy was se- 
 cured, not only in England but also in the Nether- 
 lands. The destruction of the Armada paralyzed 
 the power of the I nquisitiort. Divine Providence 
 directed and determined the result of the contest. 
 When the captain-general of the Armada had 
 his fleet ready to sail from Lisbon, he was taken 
 seriously ill and suddenly died. This caused a 
 delay of a month in the sailing of the Armada. 
 Again, after the Armada had put to sea, the 
 violent storm which scattered the ships, sinking 
 some, and disabling others, caused' a further 
 delay of another month. The delays Ifc^t great 
 opportunities to Spain, and opened liew and 
 brighter ones to England. The winds were favor- 
 able for collecting ancj. moving the light English 
 ships. The wind, the tide, even the darkness, 
 favored them, but threw the Spanish fleet into 
 panic and confusion. The failure of the whole 
 scheme of invasion bears the mark of the Divine 
 Hand. The winds and seas w^re regarded 
 as especially God's ministers. The result was 
 open and decisive: EngW was, by the test, 
 declared in the right ; Spain and the Church of

 The year 158S recalls the cost and sugjrcsts the 
 value of the heritage of freedom, social, intellec- 
 tual and religious, which has f illcn to us. Thcwci 
 nations— Sfwin, France, Italy and the rest— 
 which >txcluded the Reformation, with its benefi- 
 cent an^juickening influences.have fallen behind 
 in the ip^irch of progress. Statistics show the 
 continued reign of illiteracy amortg^^hc masses ; 
 while England, Germany, the United States, and 
 all those peoples who heartily received it, or have 
 sprung from those who did, have steadily ad- 
 vanced in prosperity and enlightenment, and now 
 head the van of civilization. ' 
 
 The overthro>v of the Gunpowder Plot, which 
 took place in the days of old, is an event of 
 great importance in the history of Protestant- 
 ism, and; the evident manner in which Jehovah 
 undertook our cause in connection therewith, 
 demands that it sht>uld not be passed unnoticed. 
 It affords an opportunity of considering oyr 
 obligations to Jehovah for His interposition in 
 exposing the secret and murderous preparations 
 of Guy Fawkes and his supporters in 1605,

 anxiety as if to catch the echo of the explosion 
 which was to burst the last bond of Protestant 
 power in Britain, and take the reins ot

 constant exercise of the right of private judg-

 dread of the Inquisition. § 
 
 In the days^of old there was a reign of terror 
 under which every Pfotestant in Ireland gr©aned 
 at the time of the siege of Derry. The lives and 
 property of Protestants were alike exposed to 
 danger. Disloyalty to the Crown was fostcir'^d ; 
 ^d hatred to the Protestants, as such, beG^c 
 V cardinal virtue. Crime ceased to be crtihe, 
 midnight outrages, murders, and robberies 
 became common. In the prosecution of these 
 disloyal and bloodthirsty schemes, those cut- 
 throats banded themselves together under vari-

 ous names— that is, in dirferent parts of Ireland 
 they were called by different names, but the 
 objects to be attained were identical. They 
 called themselves " Defenders," " Garders," 
 "Hearts of Oak," "Thrashers," "White Boy's," 
 " Molly Maguire's Men." 
 
 / Such was the state of Ireland when the Prince 
 of Orange landed at Torbay. They wanted to 
 make Ireland a French province at the feet of 
 Rome. Enni^killen resolved to resist them. 
 The little Protestant band came forth to me^t 
 the intruders, and presently put them to flight ; 
 and such was the terror of the soldiers and camp 
 followers that they did not stop running till they 
 had left thirty miles behind .them, The chief 
 interest centered in jUondonderry. That was the 
 largest place and the greatest stronghold. The 
 city of Derry was built on the slope and summit 
 of a hill, overlooking the river Foyle. On the 
 highest ground stood the cathedral, which, during 
 the siege, answered a three-fold purpose.- On 
 the tower a cSntion was planted, in the vaults 
 the. stores were 1«ept, and within the body of the 
 church the people met daily. to worship God 
 The city was Surrounded by a wall of about a 
 
X 
 
 Ail^-ir. circumference, with hefc and there guns 
 ^.ounted for defence. Into that city gath^ed 
 
 about 3P,CXX> people from ^ the surro»d.ng 
 country who fled there, faintrng w.th terror, to 
 find an asylum from the cruel swarms of re- 
 ':tuT fanatic. Among the people crowded 
 
 together within the little fortress were twenty- 
 five ministers and about 7,oc« fightmg men. 
 They were men, these Protestant Anglo-Saxon. 
 , En Jish, Scotch, Episcopalians and;'Presbyt<H^ 
 MrJk, forgot ail difiefcnces in their cpmm^ 
 danger ind their common Protestant.srn. Then 
 ; in theirlast refuge of liberty the dauntless race 
 turned desperately to bay, and hefd out durmg 
 a siege of .05-Jays, amid privations and odds 
 :^:llv<r;^e it one of the grandest chapters 
 
 of heroism recorded in history. 
 
 The Earl of Antrim had received orders from

 freedom. Kfght grandly the people responded 
 to the old man eloquent. James, confident of 
 success, approached.within a hundred yards of 
 the southern gates, but he was met with a shout, 
 of, " No Surrender 1 '* while a volley from the 
 nearest gun killed a st^f officer by his 9»^^ 
 ' Through that desperate fight the women m^ 
 Derry were seen behind, the walls handing water 
 and supplies to the men. Nothiog w^ left to 
 the besiegers but to try the efifectof hunger. 
 Every precaution was taken to prevent food 
 from being introduced into the city-:-evdry 
 avenue was closed and guarded. Presently a'^ 
 cry was heard in the British Parliament : i^ re 
 those brave fellows in De^ry to be deserted ? 
 The relief of Derry was despatched under the 
 command of Kirk. Sentinels oh the cathed al

 the famine was fearful. The stock of canrton

 crown, amid the rejoicings of both Houses of 
 Parliament and the nation. On taking the 
 throne, William III., issued wrfts tor a regular 
 Parliament, whosi; first great act was to pass the 
 Bill of Rights. By that bill, England's liberties^ 
 were secured, the Revolution accomplished, and 
 England became once more a name of power 
 and a land of freedom^ The imperishable memory 
 of William III. i« justly revered by the members 
 of the Orange institution, not merely on account 
 of thos'e virtues^ 'which, in a remarkable degree

 On the , tst of July, 169O. there lay the two 
 armies with the river Boy ne between them. 
 The signal was given, and the English army 
 dashed into the river. A shout rose from the 
 Irish army, and they rushed madly for. the 
 battle. William's army pressed forward to the 
 opposite bank. The Irish began to waver. 
 Tyrconnel looked on in despair. H is best 
 officers were slain, or >younded or captured. 
 Schomberg and other brave men fell on the Pro- 
 • testant side, but William still rode on in front 
 'of his brave troops, cheering them on to victory, 
 The battle was short,' sharp, decisive ; the day 
 was won. Two thousand of the I rish lay dead

 the Orange Institution were sown in the days

 art association for the defence of their sovereign 
 and their country. They wore on their hats a } 
 ribbon with these words, '' General As8ociatiorft^%

 For nearly forty years, from 1798 to 1836, the 
 Grand Lodge continued to exercise its immense 
 powers, through the press, on the platform, at

 in upholding the crown of England.

 In ,836 the Grand Lodge of Ireland was 
 dissolved, but the Orange Instit-tipn was not 
 
 dissolved. The lesson we may le""^"; ~"- 
 sideringtheday.ofold: If weare theoffspnng 
 of the pat/iotic fathers, as we certa.nly are, then 
 are we al/o their heirs and successors, and should 
 ascertain what they have left usand how we 
 should preserve and use it. They bestowed 
 „pon uJ a rfch inheritance of independence _ 
 namely: enterprise, free institutions, freedom P 
 thought, of action, and of religion, respect for 
 law, the rights of fellow-men and an open B.ble. 
 These have made our race strong, enbghtened, 
 powerful, and prosperous-the foremost m the 
 . march of progfSs and civilization. We should 
 rememb^^at our ancient adversaries are al«^ 
 on th, soil of Canada, in their representatives 
 
 of the unchanging Church of Rome. Roman.sm 
 having exhausted its power over the peoples of 
 Italy Austria, France, and all those countries 
 from which, with fire and sword, she expelled 
 Protestant liberty, she here seeks the conquest. 
 »■ of new fields. She pours into Great Br. am. 
 
 Canada ,nd the United States her Jesu.t m.Ut.a, 
 
30 
 
 
 her mcekfacctl nuns and fjrim-faccd monks, with 
 a full-grown hierarchy, to live upon, and if pos- 
 sible, exhaust its free, young life. She has large 
 and profitable investments in various corpora- 
 tions which yield her liberal revenues, but from 
 all taxation she claims exemption on the ground 
 of spiritual benefits she affects to bestow upon 
 the state. 
 
 She legally holds in Quebec a position of 
 strength not only superior to Protestantism, but 
 above what ^he holds in any other province of 
 the Dominion of Canada, or in any one of the 
 United States |)f^America, for the Church in 
 that Province is established and supported by 
 law. Jj^ repudiates the doctrine of equal rights, 
 she a|PI at controlling education, politics, all 
 public institutions, such as schools, colleges, con- 
 yents, hospitals, and asylums. She wishes to 
 exercise a power as great in every province of 
 >he Dominion. The Bible is prohibited, and 
 Jias been burned at the instance of Rome, in this 
 *rovince. Her schools are hotbeds of superstf- 
 iion. The vast majority of the people are made 
 poor and non-progressive by the unlimited ex- 
 actions of the Church, That which she hates 
 
and fears most— the Word of the living God— is ^ 
 the appointed instrument of its overthrow. Let 
 us/thcreforcspccdily give it toall ; and in this 
 terrible battle with error, which is daily increas- 
 ing in, magnitude, let us with the faith of the 
 heroic Carey, exi)ect great things from God, and 
 attempt great things for God. Let us help the 
 Roman Catholics to cast off the yoke. It is not 
 too much to look for the downfall of Romanism. 
 I would say to every Orangeman before me, 
 show thy.self aman. Show yourselves men by 
 cultivating your mental faculties. By doing 
 your duty as citizens. By reading the Holy 
 Scriptures, and by making them the sole rule of 
 your faith and practice. By reverently observ- 
 ing the Lord's Day, and attending the public 
 worship of God. By abstainihg from all cursing 
 and swearing ^nd profane language, and by 
 using every Ot^portunity of discouraging these 
 and all other sinful practices in others. Le, 
 your conduct be marked by prudence, honest 
 temperance and sobriety. Let the glory of G 
 the welfare of man, the honor of your Queen* 
 and the good of your country be the motives of 
 your actions. Act upon the principle of unions
