sacred King nor the tendernes of a gracious Queene nor the sweetnes and golden hope of a young Prince nor authority of Counsailers of estate nor reuerence of prelates nor honour of nobility nor grauity of Iudges nor respect of the flower of their owne Countrie nor consideration of the face of the aged nor any hope of the young ones nor pittie of the innocent nor compassion to the harmlesse multitude nor loue to their owne affectionate in the same religion nor bowels of nature to their owne Country nor rule of scripture to thinke of heauens Country nor relenting of conscience in

some of the priesthood of the Romane faith and all naturally of this Countrie and nation but that they complotted contriued put in practise to their vttermost power the most diuellish murder butchery and massacre that euer Sathan hatched from the beginning of the world frō the shedding of the blood of Abel the righteous at which we that scaped admire and adore him that saued vs they that heare it are amazed astonished and can scarcely beleeue that any such thing was but that it is apparant as the sunne in the firmaments which all nations doe now ring of and is readie for euery Chronicle as the
