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.

In this Kings days there fell a great dissension in the Church of York, betwixt the Arch-bishop of York, and the Dean, because evening Song was begun before the Arch-bishop came, his Grace coming into the Quire, was angry, because they tarried not for him, and commanded the Quire to stay: the Dean• and Treasurer willed them to sing on, the Quire left and recanted, and begun again. The Treasurer not to take the foil, caused the lights to be put out, so the evening Song ceased, for the Popish evening Song is blind, without light, though the Sun shine never so bright: His Grace suspended the whole Church from Divine service until the parties had made him amends. The next day being Ascension day, the Dean and Treasurer would make no sar•sfaction, the people would have fallen upon them if his Grace had not let them. The Dean was fain to fly to his House, and the Treasurer to Saint Williams Tomb for succour: The Bishop excommunicated them, and the Church was suspended from Service that day. Thus much of the Heroical combat betwixt these Ecclesiastical persons.
