The godly exhortation of holy Father Bradford which he gave to his wife, children and friends a little before his death, who dyed a martyr for the Gospel in Q. Mary's days : wherein is plainly shown the excellency of the Protestant religion and the happiness of those that profess and live the same : as also the damnableness of the Romish religion with their bloody and rebellious crimes laid open : with the relation of the murder of that just justice Sir Edmund-bury Godfrey.The godly exhortation of holy Father Bradford which he gave to his wife, children and friends a little before his death, who dyed a martyr for the Gospel in Q.

Never to trust them I would you advise, Who wickedly 'gainst King and Country rise, And that you may behold their cruelty, The murder mind of Edmond Godfrey.
That worthy Knight, whose Blood doth daily cry For vengeance for their grand impiety; And as they served him, so would they do, If that they could, unto the best of you.

Their malice, wrath, and rage, indeed is such, To murder Prince with people they not grutch; How can you trust them therefore, who conspire Death of our persons, and our houses fire?
Take my advice the which I am sure is just, And in them have no confidence or trust; but pray that God would frustrate their concealings, And bring to light their horrid wicked dealings.
