Unto which number he layeth five more, all together in one line, so that he maketh almost a several falsehood for every several word.

Missae sacrificium, preces, jeiunia, ciborum delectum, caelibatum abolevit. She (Queen Elizabeth) hath clean put away the Sacrifice of the Mass, Prayers, Fastings, choice or difference of Meats, and single Life. I beseech you consider this speech, and judge uprightly. You are able to discern truth from falsehood. You have knowledge of these things, be not deceived. Have we no sacrifice? no Prayers? no Fastings? no difference in meats? are none unmarried? be all these abolished? I ask you again, be they all abolished? when was this done? at whose suit? by what law, or Statute, or Proclamation, or Parliament? in deed the Mass is abolished thorough the gracious working of God.
