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.

The holy Maid of Kent.
Certain Monks put into the heads of many of the Kings Subjects, that they had Revelation of God and his Saints, that he was highly displeased with king Henry, for the divorcement of the Lady Katherine, and surmised that God had revealed unto a Nun, called Elizabeth Barton, whom they called the Holy Maid of Kent, that if the King did divorce her, he should not be King of this Realm one month after, and not one day nor hour in Gods favour. She would show marvellous alteration of her visage and body, as if she had been wrapped in a trance, and inspired of God. She spoke against sin, and reproved the Gospel, which she called heresies, and spoke divers things to the reproach of the King and Queen, and to the establishing of Idolatry, Pilgrimage, and derogation of Gods glory. The Archbishop▪ the Lord Cromwell, and Master Hugh Latimer, with great labour found out her naughtiness, and condemned her and put her to death, with certain of her council.
