May

beinge

by

all
the

that

But
howsoeuer

her

so
heinous

She

for
that

I
will
reporte
the
Iuditiall
sentence
brefely
because
it
is
muche
to
the
purpose
,
and
full
of
maiestie

O

against
the
,
thou
hast
caste
out
of

by

therfore
(

of

,
after
this
my
sentence
come
to
their
knowledge
,
geue

said

Thus
did
this
blessed
father
,
whome
Saint

commendethe
in

,
handle
that
Emperor
and
wicked
Queene
which
was
the
cause
of
her
husbandes
fall
and

,
and
at

brought
them
to

.
And
when
by

of

the
Churche
became
more
potent
,
and
some
Princes
were
falne
to
contempte
of
Religion
,
as
it
lightly
hapneth
by
heresie
or
Apostasie
;
and
that
Excommunication
or
other
ordinary
ecclesiasticall
discipline
wolde
not
serue
being
onely
spirituall
penalty
,
and
now
not
hauing
ordinarely
annexed
that
corporal
vexation
,
executed
by
sathan
vpon

persons
&
therfore
so
much
feared
in
the
Primatiue

:
then
aswell
the
Bishopes
&
godlie
persons
their
owne
subiects
,
did
craue
aide
and
armes
of
other
Christian
Princes
against
them
,
as
also
the
most
holie

aunciente
Popes
of
Rome
,
did
with
all
godly
zeale
incite
the
Catholike
Kinges

that
those

of
God
will
persecute
them
,
and
they
shall
flie
in
feare
and
torment
of
their
owne
wicked
mindes
,
though
none
pursue
them
.
You
may
all
remember
how
the
late
great
traitor
the
Duke
of
Northumberland
,
was
in
the
height
of
his
pride
and
power
forsaken
of
all
his
men
,
and
forced
to
yeilde
to
a
poore
desolate
Catholike
ladie
.
All
the
world
knowethe
how
the
like
vsurper
Richard
the
third
,
beinge
moste
worthely
in
the
verie
feild
and
feighte
abandoned
of
the
nobility
and
people
,
was
made
an
example
of
Gods
ire
towards
all
tirantes
and
vsurpers
.
But
how
so
euer
it
fall
out
throughe
the
sinnes
of
the
people
at
home
,
the
Catholike
forces
are
stronge
enough
,
their
prouision
sufficient
,
their
appointment
passinge
,
moe
expert
Captains
than
the
enemy
hath
good
souldiers
,
all
resolute
to
die
,
not
auailable
for
any
to
flie
awaye
,
all
excedingly
incoraged
by
the
equitie
of
the
cause
,
&
wonderfully
confirmed
by
Gods
mercies
so
oft
in
our
dayes
shewed
in
all
quarrels
of
the
Catholike
religion
.
These
fiftie
yeares
there
was
neuer
Catholike
army
which
stoode
to
it
,
but
had
the
victorie
:
by
mistrustinge
God
,
by
ouermuche
trusting
man
,
by
flying
or
auoidinge
the
battell
,
by
yeildinge
or
compoundinge
,
sundry
great
&
Godly
attempts
haue
bene
frustrated
:
but
in
manly
and
confident
combating
for
God
and
the
Church
,
none
at
all
.
Call
to
minde
the
miraculous
victories
of
Charles
the
fifte
,
subduinge
al
the
powrable
Lutheran
princes
in
Germanie
,
to
his
&
the
Catholike
Churches
obeisance
,
with
passinge
small
forces
,
and
in
a
fewe
yeares
or
rather
moneths
space
,
the
enemies
being
almost
innumerable
.
Remember
the
three
famous
battaills
that
the
Catholike
Cantons
and
people
of
the
Swisers
,
beinge
in
number
,
power
,
&
prouision
,
muche
inferior
to
the
other
;
obteined
by
Gods
speciall
grace
,
&
iustice
of
the
cause
,
against
the
Swinglians
their
Neighbours
,
in
one
of
which
Swinglius
himself
was
slaine
,
and
in
euery
one
a
maruelous
number
of
heretikes
,
and
of
Catholikes
so
fewe
,
that
in
suche
inequalitie
of
humane
helpes
,
God
must
nedes
be
the
extraordinary
worker
of
the
same
.
Reade
the
Histories
of
France
,
and
see
whether
the
Catholikes
haue
not
had
in
manner
,
alwaies
,
miraculous
victories
against
the
Caluinists
:
amonge
many
,
the
fights
at
Druse
,
at
larnabe
,
at
Saint
Denis
,
at
Mountcounter
,
and
specially
the
mercifull
worke
of
God
this
last
yeare
,
wherby
we
sawe
the
huge
forces
aswell
of
Germans
as
Swisers
,
by
Gods
mighty
arme
and
very
small
aide
of
man
,
wonderfully
defeated
.
Recounte
furthermore
all
the
famous
and
fortunate
rencounters
,
of
a
very
fewe
Catholikes
against
the
heretikes
and
rebelles
in
Flanders
:
as
at
Grooning
,
at
Mock
,
at
Mounts
,
at
Antwerp
,
at
Iemblous
,
and
many
other
conflictes
,
wher
without
losse
almost
at
all
,
many
thousandes
of
Gods
and
the
Kinges
enemies
haue
bene
cutt
in
peices
,
our
lord
God
no
doubte
cōbatinge
with
his
people
against
his
enemies
,
as
he
did
against
Senacharib
,
Nicanor
,
and
other
mentioned
in
holie
writ
.
Which
(
thinge
most
noble
and
valiant
gentle
men
of
England
)
may
giue
you
courage
and
confort
from
God
himself
,
euen
the
lord
God
of
Hostes
,
to
aduenture
your selues
in
a
quarrell
most
honorable
,
in
a
cause
that
the
diuine
Maiestie
hathe
shewed
himself
,
not
onely
in
other
ages
,
but
euen
in
all
our

In

mest
necessitie
of

,
that

I
haue
thought
