With all the poisoned doctrines wherewith that great read dragon hath made drunken the kings and inhabitants of the earth; with the confutations of them together with all his traitorous practises and designs, against all Christian princes to this day, especially against our late Queen Elizabeth of famous memory, and our most religious Sovereign Lord King James. Faithfully abstracted out of the Book of martyrs, and divers other books.

Mat. 18. The third is to ask Counsel of the ancient Ministers of the Church: sentence being given against him, he was degraded, he was rounded and shaven, & clothed in a short gown, a round Cap set upon his head all cut and jagged, and so delivered to the secular power; As he was led to burning, he said, O Lord Jesus remain with me, sustain and help me, and give me force and power: In the fire he cried O Lord Jesus, I am thine, have mercy upon me and save me; this was the blessed end of that good man.
