Thus have we tried the Pope to be a corrupter, and a falsifier of the Scriptures He putteth in three words, Me, Alone, Prince. He applieth the place to himself, and among all other to himself alone, and so setteth him self above Princes. He changeth the rooting out of error, to the overthrowing of Princes: and the prea-ching of the trueth, to the deposing of Kings.

Now upon warrant of these words so fondly applied, he addresseth himself solemnly to pronounce sentence. Declaramus praedictam Elizabeth eique adherents in praedictis anathematis sententiam incurrisse. We make it known, that Elizabeth aforesaid, and as many as stand on her side in the matters above named, have run into the danger of our curse. This is a terrible thunderbolt shot in among us from Rome, in Paper. These clouds are without rain: These Guns will do no harm. Even so did the Pharisees, cast Christ Jesus out of their Synagogues, and excommunicate him, and accurse him. So did Diothrephes excommunicate John the Evangelist, and did neither him self receive the brethren,
