Yet there remaineth one pretence more against hir Maiestie, ad quam velut ad asylum omnium infestissimi perfugium inuenerunt. Unto whom all such as are the worst of the people resort, and are by her received into safe protection. Is it not lawful for the Queen to receive strangers without the Popes warrant? This he speaketh of the pore exiles of Flanders and France, and other Countries, who either lost, or left behind them all that they had, goods, lands, and houses: not for adultery, or theft, or treason, but for the profession of the Gospel. It pleased God here to caste them on land: the Queen of her gracious pity hath granted them harbour. Is it become so heinous a thing to show mercy, GOD willed the children of Israel, 1to love the ⟨p. 65⟩stranger, because they were strangers in the land of Egypt. He that showeth mercy, shall find mercy. If God shall turn his hand, thou mayest be in case of poverty and banishment as well as they. I am not a Prophet, nor the son of a Prophet, but I doubt the time will come, when men shall look for the Pope at Rome, and not find him. His seat shall be removed, he shall not be there. Then shall he know what it is to be a stranger. He which devoureth, shall be devoured.
Yet there remaineth one pretence more against hir Maiestie, ad quam velut ad asylum omnium infestissimi perfugium inuenerunt. Vnto whome all suche as are the worst of the people resort, and are by hir receiued into safe protection. Is it not lawfull for the Queene to receiue straungers without the Popes warrāt? This he speaketh of the pore exiles of Flaunders and Fraunce, and other Countries, who either lost, or left behind them all that they had, goodes, landes, and houses: not for adulterie, or theft, or treason, but for the profession of the Gospell. It pleased God here to caste them on land: the Queene of hir gratious pitie hathe graunted them harbour. Is it become so hainous a thing to shew mercie, GOD willed the children of Israel, 1to loue the ⟨p. 65⟩stranger, bicause they were straungers in the land of Egipt. He that sheweth mercie, shall find mercie. If God shal turne his hand, thou maist be in case of pouertie and banishment as wel as they. I am not a Prophet, nor the sonne of a Prophet, but I doubte the time will come, when men shall looke for the Pope at Rome, and not finde him. His seate shall be remoued, he shall not be there. Then shal he know what it is to be a stranger. He whiche deuoureth, shall be deuoured.
