to_o be_v only_o a_o piece_n of_o bread_n the_o representation_n he_o give_v of_o this_o part_n of_o our_o history_n be_v so_o false_a that_o though_o upon_o queen_n elisabeth_n come_v to_o the_o

the_o people_n that_o depend_v on_o they_o to_o submit_v to_o the_o pope_n authority_n in_o that_o deposition_n and_o to_o reject_v the_o queen_n these_o endeavour_n beside_o open_a rebellion_n

of_o her_o reign_n a_o war_n be_v form_v by_o the_o bull_n of_o deposition_n between_o the_o queen_n and_o the_o court_n of_o rome_n so_o it_o be_v a_o necessary_a piece_n of_o precaution_n to_o
