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.

This Adam Damlip had bin a great Papist, and Chaplain to the Bishop of Rochester: he journeyed to Rome, thinking to have found all godly and sincere religion, where he found, as he confessed, such blasphemy of God, contempt of Christs true religion, looseness of life, and abomination and filthiness, that he abhorred to tarry there any longer, although he was greatly requested by Cardinal Poole, to continue there to read three Lectures every week in his house, offering him great entertainment, which he refused; and returning home, the Cardinal gave him a French crown. And waiting at Calais for passage into England, William Stevens and Thomas Lancaster desired him to read there two or three days, and got him license of the Lord Lisle the Kings Deputy of the town, and the license of John Butler the Commissary.

And wayting at Callice for passage into England, William Steuens and Thomas Lancaster desired him to reade there two or three dayes, and got him license of the Lord Lisle the Kings Deputie of the towne, and the license of Iohn Butler the Commissary.
When he had preached three or four times he was well liked, so that they hired him to preach there; and twenty days or more, every morning at seven of the clock, he preached learnedly and plainly the truth of the blessed Sacrament of Christs body and blood, mightily inveighing against all Papistry, but especially against transubstantiation & the propitiatory sacrifice of the mass, declaring how popish himself was, and how by the detestable wickedness that he did see universally in Rome, he was returned and become an enemy to all Papistry. He came at last to speak against the Pageant or picture set forth of the resurrection, in Saint Nicholas his Church, that it was mere Idolatry and illusion of the French-men before Calais was English.
