The Earls of Northumberland and Westmorland, in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, could In the Queens name command the Country to follow them in arms: sometimes pretending the safety of her Majesties Person in danger (they said) by treasons in working; and sometimes in case of conscience for restoring their former Religion. And in this zeal they hasted to Durham Minster, where they tare the Bible (and Communion Book•, and such other things as there were, saith Stow) in great contempt. Yet these were mere Rebels and Traitors. Speed. l. 9. c. 24.

Infinite are the evils which these sad distractions have produced; but I forbear, because they are fitter to be lamented then rehearsed.
