Here now when the Prelates of the Popes side had procured this Edict & proclamation aforesaid, for the condemnation of all such English books printed or unprinted which made against their advantage, they triumphed not a little, weening they had made a great hand against the Gospel for ever to rise again, & that they had established their kingdom for ever, as in deed to all mans thinking it might seem no less. For who would have thought,¹ after so strait so precise, and so solemn a proclamation set forth & armed with the kings terrible authority: also after the cruel execution of Anne Askew, Lacels, and the rest: Item after the busy search moreover and names taking of many other, of whom some were chased away, some apprehended and laid up, divers in present peril, & expectation of their attachment: who would have thought (I say) otherwise possible, but that the gospel must needs have an overthrow, seeing what sure work the papists here had made, in setting up their side, and throwing down the contrary.
