But O thou beast, I speak to y• 1Winchester more cruel than any tiger: Shall neither shame, neither fear, neither benefits received, bridle thy tyrannous cruelty. Asshamest thou not bloody beast to betray thy native country? and the liberties of the same? Fearest thou not to open such a door to all iniquity, that hole England shall be made a common Stews to Spaniards? Wilt thou recompense the benefits, which thou hast received of that noble Realm with that ingratitude? Rememberest thou not that England hath brought the forth? that England hath nourished thee? that England hath promoted the to Riches, honour & high promotions? And wilt thou now O wretched caitiff for all these manifold benefits received, be the cause that England, shall not be England? Yea verily. For so wilt thou gratify thy father the devil, and his lieutenant the pope. Whom with all his baggage thou labourest now with tooth and nail to flourish again in England. Albeit like a dissembling hypocrite ⟨p. 60⟩and double faced wretch, thou2 being thereto compelled by the invincible verity of God's holy word, wrotest long a goo thy book entitled True obedience. Against that monstrous whore of Babylon, and her falsely usurped power and authority. But now (to thy perpetual sha me) thou returnest to thy vomit, and art become an open archpapist again. Furthermore, why seekest thou the blood of Thomas Archbishop off canterbury? Of good fa there Hugh Latimer? and of that most learned and discrete man Doc tor Ridley true bishop of London? Doest thou not consider? that the lenity, the sincere doctrine, pure life, godly conversation, and discrete counsel of these three is notably known in mo realms than England? Shamest thou not to seek the destruction of those, who laboured for the safeguard of thy life, and obtained the same, when thou justly de seruest death? But O thou son of Satan well declarest thou that nothing can mollify the cruel malice, nor purr ge the deadly venom of him in whose heart the devil beareth the dominion.
