Howe then dareth the Pope a wilful Friar, a wilful and unlearned Friar, how dareth he say, that Queen Elizabeth is no lawful Queen, but did invade this Realm with force and violence? O good and gracious Lady, what Host had she? what Captain? what Soldiers? what weapon was worn? what Sword drawn? what Spear bent? what Banner displayed? what Trumpet sounded? She entered to her ⟨p. 48⟩right peaceably, & hath reigned in great peace, save that Pope Pius hath practised her trouble by certain rebels and traitors. But God doth mercifully preserve her, to the confusion of her enemies, to the comfort of her subjects, and the advancement of his glory. Yong men and Maidens, Old men and children, may see and say, Pope Pius is a forger, a reporter of untruth, hath no regard what he saith or doth: that, he is paste all shame, and hath no fear of God.
Howe then dareth the Pope a wilfull Frier, a wilfull and vnlearned Frier, how dareth he say, that Queene Elizabeth is no lawfull Queene, but didde inuade this Realme with force and violence? O good and gratious Ladie, what Host had she? what Capitaine? what Souldiours? what weapon was worne? what Sworde drawne? what Speare bente? what Banner displayed? what Trumpet sounded? Shée entred to hir ⟨p. 48⟩right peaceably, & hath raigned in greate peace, saue that Pope Pius hath practised hir trouble by certaine rebels and traitors. But God doth mercifully peserue hir, to the confusion of hir enimies, to the comforte of hir subiectes, and the adnauncement of his glorie. Yong men and Maydens, Olde men and children, may sée and saye, Pope Pius is a forger, a reporter of vntruth, hathe no regarde what he saith or doth: that, he is paste al shame, and hath no seare of God.
Again,1 Supremi capitis locum usurpans: Taking upon her the place of the supreme head This is untrue. Here lay a chase. If the Pope go forward, he will win the game. Where is she ever called the supreme head? Peruse the acts of Parliament, the Records, the Rolls, and the Writs of Chancery or Exchequer, which pass in her Graces name: where is she ever called the supreme head of the Church? No, no, brethren, she refuseth it, she would not have it, nor be so called. Why then doth Christs Vicar blaze and spread abroad so gross untruth?
