Popery proclaimed in plain accents, that in her case killing would be no murder, her subjects were absolved from their allegiance, some of herprincipal nobles rose in rebellion, treason was fostered through­ out the kingdom, and Ireland, time after time, was rent by com­ motion and plunged in civil war.	cache/_005197588.txt	txt/_005197588.txt
