A95750 A nevv discovery of old pontificall practises for the maintenance of the prelates authority and hierarchy. Evinced by their tyranicall persecution of that reverend, learned, pious, and worthy minister in Jesus Christ, Mr. John Udall, in the raigne of Queene Elizabeth. To give satisfaction to all those that blindely endeavour to uphold episcopall government, that their lordly rule in the purest times of the said queene, is the very same with that they have exercised ever since, even to these times. Together with the prelates devises to make him submit, and to subscribe to submissions of their own contriving and invention. And also King James his letter out of Scotland to the queene, in the behalfe of Mr. Vdall and all other persecuted ministers in her realme. Udall, John, 1560?-1592.; James I, King of England, 1566-1625. 1643 (1643) Wing U14; Thomason E87_6; ESTC R212794 52,416 53

the_o whole_a course_n of_o it_o
declare_v that_o it_o be_v only_o mean_v of_o they_o that_o defame_v her_o highness_n person_n and_o not_o her_o government_n as_o it_o be_v manifest_a by_o the_o last_o proviso_n wherein_o it_o be_v show_v that_o the_o whole_a statute_n do_v determine_v and_o end_n with_o her_o majesty_n life_n and_o we_o may_v not_o think_v their_o wisdom_n that_o make_v the_o law_n to_o be_v so_o unadvised_a as_o to_o make_v a_o law_n for_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o prince_n government_n which_o be_v continual_a to_o last_v no_o long_o than_o the_o life_n of_o one_o prince_n which_o be_v temporary_a therefore_o it_o seem_v that_o the_o statute_n have_v no_o further_a regard_n than_o this_o that_o her_o highness_n person_n may_v be_v preserve_v in_o that_o honour_n and_o dignity_n which_o become_v
