The Lords of Berna never were Subjects to the Duke of Savoy. That they took certain of his Castles in their Confines, then did it rightly, and by the Law of Arms, being forced thereto by daily invasions, & robberies, and not able otherwise to live in rest. But in deed the said poor Duke was thoroughly spoiled of his whole Dominion: of the one half, by his Brother in Law the Emperor Charles. 5. of the other half, by his Nephew Francis the French King, by the counsel of Pope Clemens. 7. after their great interview at Marseilles. And thereof was devised a pretty Pasquil, declaring the miserable case of the poor Duke, Diviserunt sibi vestimenta mea: & super vestem meam miserunt sortem: They have divided my apparel amongst them selves: and they have caste lots for my Coat.

The Heads of England, and Scotland, that, as ye say, were laid together at Geneva, touching the government of Women, being well accounted, were nothing so many, as ye would seem to imagine. For if there had been but one less, for ought, that I have heard, there had been but one at all. Such hot Amplifications it liketh you to make of so small a number. We will defend no man in his error. Let every man bear his own guilt. M. Calvin, M. Martyr, M. Musculus, M. Bullinger, and others, whom you call the Faithful Brothers of England, misliked that enterprise, and wrote against it.
