Elizabeth that is to be hanged drawne and quartered so he was executed in the thirtéenth yere of her Maiesties raigne Therfore this deuise of the Pope and his practise to withdraw her Maiesties subiects from their loyalty is but as it were a trap layd to bring such to destruction as shall be so withdrawne and it is treason by a Statute made in the three and twentieth yeare of her Maiesties raigne as well in the practiser to withdraw as in the person which is withdrawne as by that statute appeareth the words whereof be these Be it declared and enacted by the authority of this present Parliament 23. El. cap. 1.
