of_o england_n endeavour_v with_o all_o her_o might_n to_o set_v up_o a_o brat_n of_o her_o own_o to_o exclude_v queen_n mary_n it_o be_v so_o void_a of_o all_o appearance_n of_o truth_n that_o it_o will_v puzzle_v any_o man_n by_o the_o history_n of_o those_o time_n to_o guess_v what_o he_o mean_v by_o it_o i_o suppose_v he_o mean_v the_o lady_n jane_n grace_n but_o be_v not_o she_o set_v up_o by_o the_o ambition_n of_o dudley_n d._n of_o northumberland_n who_o thereby_o hope_v to_o have_v raise_v his_o family_n his_o son_n be_v her_o husband_n to_o the_o royal_a dignity_n do_v not_o the_o

elizabeth_z a_o know_a bastard_n raise_v the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o a_o prop_n to_o support_v the_o weakness_n of_o her_o title_n be_v not_o this_o say_v like_o a_o true_a loyal_a jesuit_n show_v the_o honour_n he_o have_v for_o crown_v head_n by_o fix_v upon_o one_o of_o the_o most_o renown_a of_o they_o the_o most_o honourable_a title_n of_o a_o plain_a downright_a bastard_n nay_o it_o be_v by_o so_o much_o more_o like_o he_o by_o how_o much_o it_o want_v of_o truth_n be_v not_o queen_n elizabeth_n daughter_n of_o king_n henry_n the_o eight_o bear_v in_o wedlock_n after_o a_o

unlawful_a nay_o do_v not_o he_o sign_v a_o bull_n to_o that_o purpose_n i_o dare_v appeal_n to_o this_o gentleman_n himself_o whether_o there_o be_v not_o far_o more_o reason_n to_o believe_v it_o unlawful_a for_o a_o man_n to_o marry_v his_o brother_n wife_n than_o there_o be_v to_o think_v it_o lawful_a now_o if_o this_o question_n must_v be_v determine_v in_o the_o assirmative_a do_v it_o not_o direct_o follow_v that_o queen_n mary_n legitimacy_n be_v far_o more_o uncertain_a and_o consequent_o her_o title_n do_v more_o need_n a_o prop_n to_o support_v the_o weakness_n of_o it_o than_o her_o sister_n queen_n elizabeth_n henry_n the_o eight_o their_o father_n know_v this_o well_o enough_o and_o therefore_o settle_v the_o matter_n as_o well_o as_o he_o can_v by_o act_n of_o parliament_n which_o right_o i_o shall_v not_o dispute_v but_o however_o if_o the_o romanist_n think_v it_o good_a against_o the_o scotch_a title_n for_o queen_n mary_n why_o may_v not_o the_o protestant_n think_v it_o as_o good_a for_o queen_n elizabeth_n but_o they_o say_v he_o no_o soon_o found_v themselves_o so_o establish_v than_o they_o fall_v to_o make_v those_o canibal-law_n to_o

be_v these_o ever_o make_v canon_n of_o our_o church_n why_o then_o be_v not_o the_o saddle_n set_v upon_o the_o right_a horse_n and_o they_o own_a to_o be_v the_o act_n of_o state_n and_o not_o of_o our_o church_n again_o how_o can_v these_o be_v say_v to_o be_v true_a priest_n of_o the_o live_a god_n who_o will_v not_o own_o the_o power_n that_o god_n have_v set_v over_o we_o in_o our_o nation_n but_o look_v upon_o the_o supreme_a magistrate_n as_o one_o depose_v by_o the_o pope_n authority_n and_o adjudge_v to_o death_n and_o therefore_o be_v continual_o plot_v and_o contrive_v against_o

sure_a the_o member_n of_o our_o church_n will_v have_v think_v most_o inhuman_a to_o take_v away_o the_o life_n of_o that_o unfortunate_a princess_n now_o i_o pray_v what_o crime_n be_v it_o or_o what_o fault_n be_v it_o in_o our_o church_n if_o the_o supreme_a power_n of_o our_o nation_n do_v enact_v law_n to_o secure_v the_o government_n or_o what_o disloyalty_n be_v it_o for_o the_o
