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.

She loveth ⟨p. 94⟩her Subjects, and they reverence her: She is careful for them, and they are true to her, God continue his blessing towards her, and over shadow her with his merciful hand. For she is the comfort and Diamond of all Christendom. This is she against whom Pope Pius rageth and stormeth, and hath sent his curse, & sentence of deprivation against her. If he had been acquainted with our happy estate under her, he might with better grace have said to her, Because thy God loveth England, to establish it for ever, therefore hath he made thee Queen over them to execute Judgement and Justice. He might with more and better advisement have said,
