But how great then is the disparity herein For euen all Europe hath trumpeted forth the irreligious proceeding of King Henry in this Case Who did ouerthrow all the Monasteryes and Religions Houses in England in the abundāce wherof no Nation by the record of Historyes was able to compare with it This flagitious King whose All was Luxury Murther and Sacriledge prostrating euen with the ground so many Religious Houses buchering so many Religious Persons of the said Monasteries did lastly confiscate all the Lands and benefits belonging to them which were almost of incredible Opulency riches to himselfe partly to spend in all sensuality and dissolution of lyfe partly to maintaine his flattering Attendants and Followers Now then to encircle the seuerall Passages of this King displayed in this Chapter or Parallell we may from hence gather that the afore mentioned Ecclesiasticall Primacy of the Church was neuer challenged or assumed during this last nyne hundred yeares by any temporall Prince confessing the name of Christ vntill this Mahumetan Henry through more then a Ne●trodian (4) ●●ns 10.
