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.

1 The first Article: A Minister is not the Successor of Christ by his humane election, be it never so rightly done, but in that he doth more abundantly work to the profit of the Church, he hath thereby more abundant power given him of God. Answer. It standeth in the hands of wicked Electors to choose a Woman into Ecclesiastical office, as it appeareth by the election of Agnes, which was called John, who occupied the Popes place and dignity two years and more, and they may choose a thief, a murderer, a devil, and an Antichrist, or such a one as God alloweth not of: so whatsoever the election is, we ought to give credit to the works of him that is chosen; therefore Christ saith in the tenth of John, Give credit unto works.
