This article appears in Volume V25, Page 1048 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: STE-SUS
STUBBS [STUnnE], JOHN (c. 1543-1590, English pamphleteer, was born in Norfolk about 1543. He was educated at Trinity College,
Cambridge
 , and after studying law at Lincoln's Inn, took up his residence at Thelveton, Norfolk. His views were Puritan, and he regarded with disgust the negotiations for a
marriage
  between Queen Elizabeth and the duke of Anjou. In 1579 he put his opinions into a pamphlet entitled The Discoverie of a Gaping Gulf whereinto England is like to be Swallowed by another French
Marriage
 . The circulation of this pamphlet was prohibited, and
Stubbs
 ,* his printer, and publisher were tried at Westminster', found guilty, and sentenced to have their right hands cut off. The printer was subsequently pardoned, but in the case of
Stubbs
  and his publisher the sentence was duly carried out. Stubbs protested his loyalty from the first. His right hand having been cut off, he removed his hat with his left, and cried " God Save the Queen!" before fainting away. He was subsequently imprisoned for eighteen months. On being released he continued to write, publishing, among other pamphlets, a reply to Cardinal Allen's Defence of the English Catholics. He died in 1591 at
Havre
 , France, where he seems to have gone to volunteer for military service under
Henry
  of Navarre.
