After the failure of the Rodolfi plot and execution of Norfolk, people were still prepared to remove Elizabeth and give the throne to Mary, as it would satisfy their diplomatic objectives. in 1583 Walsingham uncovered such a plot. The catholic Duke of Guise and the Spanish ambassador Mendoza conspired to reassert power into Scotland and use Scotland as a base for invading England, with the intention to over throw Elizabeth and placing Mary on the throne. The plot was dissevered after the arrest of Francis Throckmorton, who was the intermediate between Mary and Mendoza. This plot conformed the fears of the Privy council that an alliance between Spain and France would be directed against protestant England. this provoked a severe reaction. Mary however again escaped with her life - Elizabeth still believed that should could not harm Mary because of the divine right of Kings. Mendoza was expelled from England and the privy council drew up the bonds of association.

A 'Book of Discipline' had been drawn up to replace the Prayer book, and a huge number of petitions to parliament had been prepared. One organised by Field and presented to parliament in 1586, this petition came from 2,537 parishes.

After the defeat of the Spainish Armada a new parliament was called, to a new political scene. Succession was no longer a problem- Mary was dead and James, her protestant son would become her successor; James would forget any grudges and would take the English throne. The puritan leaders were dying- Thomas Norton in1584, John Field 1588, Cartwight 1590. Also many powerful MP's died Earl of Bedford 1585, Leicester 1588, Mildmay 1589 and Walsingham in 1590. Conflict did not disappear from Elizabeths parliaments, but it took a different shape and focus, in which religion and the succession meant very different things.
