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.

Ethelwolfus the son of Egbert succeeded him in his reign; he was Bishop of Winchester, and by the dispensation of the Pope, was made King: he being nuzzled therein, was always devout to holy Church,1 he gave them the Tithes of all his goods and Lands, and freedom from all ser•age and civill charges. He made his Donation to God, the Virgin Mary, and all the Saints, for remission of our Souls, and sins, and in that we have, in some part, eased the seruitud of the Church, they may the more diligently pour forth their prayers without •easing, to God for us. It is no small derogation to the merits of Christ thus to set remission of their sins, and remedy of their Souls, in this Donation, and such like deeds.
