3. About seven years after, that King being dead, and his Son,1 King Edward the sixth, a child of nine years old, (yet another Josiah) set on the throne, God did better for England then before. For the foresaid Act (commonly called the scourge with six strings) was repealed: and a more thorough reformation established. But even then, many of the peoples hearts so lingered after Romish superstition, as the Israelites did after the high places, in the reign of Asa, 2Jehoshaphat and other good Kings: so as this goodly reformation continued but six years; For God took away that good young King.3 After whose death a popish bloody Queen utterly defaced the foresaid Reformation, and brought in that dark cloud of Popery, which overshadowed this whole Land.
