Gresham answered with a very decided " Yes, " and told him that many had already gone over to England for religion. In reporting this matter to Cecil, Gresham told him with much glee, that if the Protestant faith were not secured there, the greater part of the city of Antwerp would fly to England. Something like this happened before long, and as many of these emigrants carried large capitals, or some useful industry with them, Eng- land benefited greatly by their skill, and would have derived s...till more extensive advantages from it, but for the jealousies of the English traders and manufacturers, and the blundering public economy of those ages. Gresham had " very great dis- course" with the Prince of Orange and Count Horn, who were in close communication with Count Egmont, and who united their voices in ap- plauding i; the wise and grave government of Queen Elizabeth/' He tells us that the Duchess of TROUBLES im THE LOW COUNTRIES, lol Parma caused him to be watched — a measure not very surprising in that regent.
