BL, Additional MS 32091, fos. 168v–9. I am indebted to Dr Mark Taviner for discussing the manuscript with me and confirming my reading of its significance. It should be noted that the only unambiguous comparison of herself to Deborah in all of Elizabeth’s presumed writings occurs in the so-called ‘Spanish Versicles and Prayers’ (
ECW
, p. 157). These have repeatedly been shown to be apocryphal and not by Elizabeth. No evidence exists that she had studied Spanish or could write in that language. Not even Jan van der Noot claimed this for her; Baldwin, I, p. 278. The much-vaunted reference to Deborah in HEH, Ellesmere MS 2072, fo. 2a (
ECW
, p. 424) turns out to be an interpolation. The closest Elizabeth came to Knox’s view of herself was in her ‘Golden Speech’, delivered to a grateful delegation of members of the House of Commons in the Council Chamber at Whitehall in 1601,
following her concessions over the issue of monopolies. According to one version of the speech, she asked rhetorically, ‘What am I as of myself without the watchful providence of Almighty God, other than a poor silly woman, weak and subject to many imperfections, expecting as you do a future judgement?’ But this was to concede no more than that all kings and princes ruled in accordance with God’s providence.
