You must keep reckoning, for here to the 13. untruths, he giveth three others, more wicked and slanderous than the rest. Hath Queen Elizabeth invaded the Realm? O vain man. Is it beseeming for Christs Vicar to speak so untruly? What sendeth he such tales unto us, who know the trueth, and can reprove him? Did her Majesty invade this realm? Came she by force and violence to her Crown? No child so simple, but he may control him herein. Was not Queen Mary her Sister? Was not King Edward her Brother? Was not King Henry her natural Father? and King Henry the 7. her Grandfather? Is she not the right inheritor of both the houses queorke and Lancaster? Hath she not both the Roses, that is, both the Titles to the kingdom enclosed in one? Did not the whole body of the Council take their Oath to her xxxv. years ago? Was not the Crown due to her by inheritance and by succession, and by the laws of this ⟨p. 47⟩Realm? Did not her Father warrant it to her by Will, as to his daughter? Did not Queen Mary by express words leave it to her, as to her Sister? Did not the whole Nobility of the Realm confirm it? Did not Queen Mary's Bishops kneel down before her, and acknowledge her to be their natural and lawful Queen? Did not you? Did not all the Commons of this Realm, willingly of your selves, make Bonfires, ring your Belles, and clap your hands for joy? Did not the children and little Babes cry out in your streets God save Queen Elizabeth?
