In the first is proued by the learned protestants of England, that these preists and Catholicks, haue hitherto been vniustly persecuted, though they haue often and publickly offered soe much, as any Christians in conscience might doe.

Peter the Apostle, to these our tymes. Broughton, Richard. 1621 (1621) STC 3895.5; ESTC S114391 56,926 128
