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.

And about the eighth of September 1552. Doctor Ridley Bishop of London, went to visit the Lady Mary, and was gently entertained of Sir Thomas Wharton, and other her officers. About eleven of the clock the Lady Mary came forth of her chamber of presence: then the Bishop saluted her Grace, and said he was come to do his duty unto her Grace; she thanked him, and for a quarter of an hour talked with him pleasantly, and said, she knew him when he was Chaplain to her father, and remembered a Sermon that he made before her father, at the Lady Clinton's marriage, and so dismissed him to dine with her officers.

After dinner the Bishop being called, resorted again unto her Grace: then said the Bishop, Madam, I come not only to do my duty to see your Grace, but also to offer my self to preach before you on Sunday next, if it please you to hear me: she said, I pray make the answer your self, for you know the answer well enough: but if I must make answer, this shall be your answer, The door of the Church shall be open for you if you come, but neither I nor none of mine shall hear you. The Bishop said, Madam, I trust you will not refuse GODS word. She answered, I cannot tell what you call GODS word; that is not GODS word now that was GODS word in my fathers days. The Bishop said, GODS word is one in all times, but it hath been better understood and practised in some ages then in others. She said, you durst not for your ears have avouched that for GODS word in my fathers days that now you do: as for your new books, I thank GOD for it, I never read none of them, nor never will do.
