A08197	The oration and sermon made at Rome by commaundement of the foure cardinalles, and the Dominican inquisitour, vpon paine of death. By Iohn Nichols, latelie the Popes scholler. Which sermon and oration was presented before the Pope and his cardinalles in his Consistorie, the xxvij. day of Maie. 1578. and remaineth there registred. Now by him brought into the English tongue, for the great comfort and commoditie of all faithfull Christians. Heerin also is aunswered an infamous libell, maliciouslie written and cast abroad, against the saide Iohn Nichols, with a sufficient discharge of himselfe from all the Papists lying reports, and his owne life both largelie and amplie discouered.	Nicholls, John, 1555-1584?	1581 (1581)	STC 18535; ESTC S105660	86,257	238

the_o ancient_a father_n much_o to_o blame_v who_o in_o set_v down_o the_o article_n of_o our_o creed_n do_v neglect_n and_o light_o pass_v over_o this_o upstart_n article_n of_o the_o romish_a sea_n

the_o godly_a burn_v they_o or_o consume_v they_o in_o prison_n for_o deny_v the_o roman_a church_n to_o be_v the_o holy_a catholic_a church_n see_v that_o no_o mention_n thereof_o be_v make_v to_o
