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 murder of ROBERT PACKINGTON.
The murther of ROBERT PACKINGTON.
He was a rich Mercer dwelling in Cheap side, and was one of the burgesses of the Parliament for the City of London, and had spoken against the covetousness ⟨p. 187⟩and cruelty of the Clergy; wherefore he was had in contempt with them, therefore one Doctor Vincent Dean of Pauls hired a stranger for sixty crowns to kill him, which he did in this manner: this Packington used by four of the clock every morning, to go to a Church near Cheap-side; and in a misty morning t•e hired stranger shot him and killed him with a gun as he crossed the street. This could not be known until the death of the Dean: then he repented the fact at his death, and confessed it to his ghostly father.
