21. Edward 6. son of Henry 8. in his childhood came 1to the crown: yet in his days the brightness of the Gospel shined forth: but so as there wanted not clouds of troubles: The Kingdom being engaged in war with France and Scotland: the country troubled with insurrections in Norfolk and Devonshire: and the Court and Counsel distracted into faction: whereby the Kings two uncles, the Lord Protector, and Lord Admiral came to violent deaths: which hastened, or hindered not, the Kings: and that in the 7. year of his reign, and 17. of his age.

22. Mary eldest daughter to Henry 8. came with much 1difficulty to the Crown. Another Queen was first proclaimed at London. But that storm lasted not long: for, 9 days after at London also was Mary proclaimed Queen. As for the continuance of her reign, some may remember, most have heard, and all may read how dangerous and doleful those smoky days were. Many hundreds were burnt then for the Gospel sake; many more were forced to fly their country, and exile themselves: Calais, that for very many years before had appertained to the English, was lost: which loss is thought to make so dead a wound in her heart as it could never be healed. In the last period of Queen Mary's days, many imprisoned and adjudged to the fire for the cause aforesaid, were released by her departure out of this world, in the 6. year of her reign, and 43. of her age.
