They talk much of an unbloody Sacrifice. It is not theirs to offer it. Queen Elizabeth shall offer it up unto God: even her unbloody hands, and unbloody sword, an unbloody people, and an unbloody government. This is an unbloody Sacrifice. This Sacrifice is acceptable unto God. I say not, that it is not lawful for her to put to death. God saith,1 Thine eye shall not pity the wicked, nor show mercy: but thou shalt kill him: that all Israel may hear and fear, and do no more any such wickedness as this, among you. She must do it: if she would not, yet her laws would see offenders punished. But ⟨p. 93⟩I speak it to show the gracious goodness of her merciful nature.
They talke much of an vnbloudy Sacrifice. It is not theirs to offer it. Queene Elizabeth shall offer it vp vnto God: euen hir vnbloudie handes, and vnbloudie sworde, an vnbloudie people, and an vnbloudie gouernement. This is an vnbloudie Sacrifice. Thys Sacrifice is acceptable vnto God. I say not, that it is not lawfull for hir to putte to death. God saith,1 Thine eye shall not pitie the wicked, nor shewe mercie: but thou shalt kill him: that all Israell maye heare and feare, and do no more anye suche wickednesse as this, among you. Shée muste doe it: if she woulde not, yet hir laws would sée offendors punished. But ⟨p. 93⟩I speake it to shew the gratious goodnes of hir mercifull nature.

Oh how graciously did her Majesty commend us her subjects, to the careful and wise government of her Council, and Judges, when she spake thus unto them: Have care over my people. You have my place, Do you that which I ought to do. They are my people. Every man oppresseth them, and spoileth them without mercy. They can not revenge their quarrel, nor help themselves. See unto them, see unto them, for they are my charge. I charge you, even as God hath charged me. I care not for my self, my life is not dear to me, my care is for my people. I pray God who soever succeed me, be as careful as I am. They which might know what cares I bear, would not think I took any great joy in wearing the Crown.
