andglutteth her felfe with the bloude of Martyrs: whereas by that
name I did not meane Queen e Mary,but the tyrannie of Rome that

There is yet a third e matter which forced mee herevnto,and hauing
feenc and heard thefe thingcs vehemently moued me to write. This
is the preceptc of Chrifte in the xviij. Chapter of the Reuelation of
S. lohn: For a voycc came from hcauen from the right hand of the fa-
ther and the cucrlafting throne of Chrifte, with a great voycc foun-
ded in our cares faying . Go from her my people left ye be made par-
takers of her vvickcdnes, andyerccciue part of her punifhment. For
her finncs are gone vp to hcauca^and God hath remcmbred her vvic«

gainft the bcaft vvith fcucn hcadci. K cvvard her cucn as f he hath re-
y vardcJ you^atii giuc her double according to her vrorks, and pourc
in double to her in the fame cup which The filled vnto you. A nd for-
afmuch as The glorified her felfc and liucd wantonly, fo much poure
youintoher of punifhraentand forrovve. This is the wordeof the
Lordc declared vnto vs as well here as in the fiftyc Chap.of Icremr
That this fcrpent might pcrifh & all his doingcs brought to noughr!
Yet for al this I do wel rcmcbcr the faying» of S.PauIe, that al Prin-
ces ought to be honoured although they be wicked and vnprofitable
for a common wealth, bccaufe they be placed there of God^ncither
to fpeake euill of them beinge but wotmcs, duft and afhes , Neither
dare I murmur againft iheprouidenccof God, which is contrary to
his holy worde. Therefore from the bottomc of my hart I befcech
our Lorde and Redeemer Icfus Chiiftc, that he would haue mcrcyc
â–¼ppon all Kmges,Princc$ and Nations, and fo prouide that all nati-
ons mayc be fo gauerned as i$ moft tending to his glory: For whofe
rcueng he hath moAiloutly fortifyed mcc vp in this my old age. Not
ftudying to derogate or take a waye the honour from anyc Chriftiaa
Kingc , but onely to inuey againft the Romifhe beaft, the Synagog
of Sathan,and moft wicked Antichrift^with the writings aud tefli-
monycofmoft learned men.
If I fhal haue faid any thing fharpcr then thou didft loke ror(moft

ked Viper of the world, whofe dcftrudion accordinge to Gods pro-
