¶ A disclosing of the great Bull, and certain calves that he hath gotten, and specially the Monster Bull that roared at my Lord bishops gate.  
❧ Imprinted at London by john day dwelling over Aldersgate.   

EXperience of the lewd lustiness & unchastity of Popish clergy hath long ago ministered an old tale, how a person of a town having the lordship annexed to his parsonage, as many have, by reason thereof was by special custom charged, as in many places they be, to keep a common Bull for the town, whereby their cattle and his tithe might be increased, which Bull had great liberty and is by custom not poundable. It happened that complaint was brought to him by his neighbours of the insufficiency of his Bull, that he did not get calves so plentifully as in time past they were wont to have. The person a wise man of good skill as it should seem, c●used his Bull to be tied fast and his crown to be shaven, and then let him go, saying, now go thy way, there was never any bad of this mark, he will get calves I warrant him. So is it happened that of late a holy Bull, I think some jupiter is come for love of his Io, or rather for just to some lewd Pasiphae arrived in this land.  
It is the great persons bull, which person was wont by custom to find common Bulls for all England, when he claimed or usurped the Lordship of England as annexed to his parsonage. It is the same Bull that begat the famous Monecalfe that of late years made the terrible expectation. Of late being against custom empounded, or kept from breaking of hedges as he was wont to do, and from spoiling of several pastures, he grew to some faintness. But now hath his owner new shaven his crown & sent him to get calves again for increase of the towns heard and the persons tithe.  
And surely the experience is notable, for since he came over so lately disguised, he hath light upon certain rank kine, who I think by their long forbearing are become the lustier, that is, treason, superstition, rebellion, and such other, and with them he hath so bestirred him, that by the help of master Doctor Harding, Sanders, and other, some there, some here, jolly cowkéepers and herdsmen of Popish clergy, which sent and brought him over, & broke open for him the several hedges and senses of true religion, obedience, allegiance, faith, and honesty, he hath begotten a marvelous number of calves in few years, that is, since the year. 1567. he hath begotten multitudes of all the forms of calves hereafter mentioned, beside other in the wild woods not yet known, & lastly he hath begotten a most horrible monster, of whom shall hereafter be entreated.  
He hath begotten some traitorous calves, as the practisers and underminers of the state. Some rebellious calves, as those that have cumbered the realm with unhappy sedition. Some dainty calves with white faces, as dissembling hypocrites that watch their time. Some calves with black faces, as black soul and his fellows common bleaters and railers at true religion. Some Apostatical calves, that have forsaken faith and do impugn the known truth. Some tame drowsy calves, that with their brutish superstition can not raise up their heads from ground, nor their eyes to heaven. Some mad wild calves, as Rogues and Rumour spreaders. Some running and gadding calves, wiser than waltham's calf that ran nine miles to suck a Bull, for these run above nine hundred miles. And no marvel, for they desire not to suck milk but blood. Some calves with horns, and some without, some with power running fiercely, some pushing with their unarmed heads as eluishly as they be able. Some doctor calves, some proctor calves, and some of other degrees. Some wayward calves, ever running backward and athwart, without regard of ditch behind them, or hedge before them. Some calves whom no fence will hold, not not the broad sea. Some cow calves, some bull calves. Some calves that never will be but calves, though they live these hundred years. Some winking calves. Some subtle undermining calves. And some fond licking calves there he that be none of the same bulls calves, but calves out of Gods own heard, seduced by lewd company of other stray calves. These in seeking to lick wounds whole, do not only lick poison into their own bodies, but also enuenime other thereby, and specially the good dam with whose wholesome milk themselves be fed. This Bulls calves since they received their sire's blessing, are waxen wilder than they were, no herdman can rule them, but as if the gad fly were in their tails, they run whisking about, or of mere eluishnishe will taste no wholesome and natural food.  
The Monster of whom I told you, is no way so fitly to be described, as by the old tale of the ancient poets, that seem as it were to have foreshowed him in figure, as followeth. Pasiphae Queen of Creta, not sufficed with men, conceived inordinate, unnatural, and therewith untemperable lust to engender with a Bull. Neither regard of virtue, honour, kindness, nature or shame, in respect of God, her husband, her country, herself, or the whole world, could restrain her violent rage of unclean affection. Yet witted she neither how to woo the Bull, nor how to apply herself unto him. A mean at length was found to make this unkindly coupling.  
There lived then a cunning craftsman Dedalus, the self same Dedalus of whom it is famous how he made him wings, wherewith by cunning guiding himself he passed seas & countries at his pleasure. And wings he made also for Icarus his son to fly with him. But the uncunning Icarus, climbing to near the sons heat, his wings melting, fell into the water and gave name to the sea.  
This fine Dedalus, to satisfy the wicked queens fervour of lust, & to match her and the Bull in abominable copulation, framed a cow, and so made covered and used it with lewd devices, and therein so enclosed and placed the good innocent and virtuous Lady, that of the Bull she conceived the abomination of the world, and in time brought forth the monster Minotaurus half a Bull and half a man, fierce, brutish, mischievous, cruel, deformed, and odious.  
To shroud this monster from common wonder, & yet therewithal to deliver him the food and contentment of his cruelty the destruction of men, a Labyrinth or Maze was builded by the same cunning Dedalus, wherein Minotaurus the Man bull or Bull man lurked, and men passing in thither to him by entanglement of the Maze & uncertain error of ways, were brought to miserable end, till at length valiant Theseus, furnished with the policy of wise Ariadna, received of her a clew of thread, by which, leaving the one end at the entry, he was continually guided and preserved from the deceiving Maze, and having slain the monster, by conduct of the same thread safely returned.  
The appliance hereof to the experience of our times hath an apt resemblance, not to prove but to show the image of some doings at these days, and therewith by conference not only to sharpen an intentive sight of that which we wink at, but also to raise a just loathing of that whereof by some hurtful impediments we have not discerned or rather not merked the horror.  
Lecherous Pasiphae may well be applied to treason in his estates addicted to papistry, forsaking God's ordinance of human royal government. Which when so ever it happeneth, (for hap it may and hath often so chanced) such treason destroyeth good and natural affection, it kindleth vile and beastly desires, and among all other none comparable in filthiness to the lust of yielding themselves to bear the engendering of the great Bull of Basan or rather of Babylon, the oppression, incumbence, and tyranny of Rome, the usurpation of the Roman siege the siege of all abomination. This principal traitorous lust, that throweth down the person under this unclean desire, throweth away virtue & respect of God, for Roman pride hath climbed into the seat of God and shoved to shoulder him out, and banished virtue by open dispensing with vice. It expelleth remembrance of honour and kindness in regard of husband, for faith of wedlock hath no place in adulterers, and by Roman practices neither doth superstition permit the soul to keep her chastity from idolatries and from forsaking Gods rules of religion, nor the wife her due faith from wandering lust, nor the husband his safety from traitorous violence. It driveth out natural love of country, for it prostituteth all dominions to the common adulterer, underminer, and forcer of kingdoms, the Bull of Rome. It banisheth shame, for it boasteth her filthinese to the worlds sight, soliciteth it publicly, practiseth it openly, defendeth it impudently, and carrieth it in glorious pomp and triumph, not as Io riding on a Bulls back through the water, but as it were carnally wallowing with a beast on the top of Trajan's pillar. And surely no more sodomitical is in nature the unnatural mixture of a Bull and a woman, than is sodomitical in policy and religion the intermeddling of the popish usurpation of Rome with a temporal prince, yielding his or her realm to Popish jurisdiction, or with the spouse of Christ the universal church ravished by that Bulls force or desyled by his abuses. But as in Pasiphae, so where such rage of traitorous and superstitious desire entereth, God's grace forsaketh, honest fear departeth, shame flieth, and the lust is untemperable.  
The Daedalus that must bring the enjoying of this horrible lust to effect, is the treason of Popish Clergy, full of cunning workmanship, as the world hath long had great experience, even the same Popish Clergy that hath framed to himself wings, not naturally by God's ordinance growing to the body thereof, but made of feathers pulled from temporal Princes and from Bishops in their own Dioceses by usurpation, fastened together by art of simony, and joined to their bodies with the glue of superstitious credulity. With these have they passed lands and seas, climbing & flying in air, that is, upon no steadfast ground, above mountains, trees and countries, that is, above Emperors, kings, just prelate's and common weals.  
The son of this Dedalus, that is, of treason of popish clergy, is Icarus, that is, aspiring treason of subject, which following his father and guide popish treason, but not so well guiding himself for lack of experience, and desiring to suddenly to climb to near the Sun, or perhaps mounting with more haste than good speed before his wings were well fastened, or while himself could but yet flutter with them and not perfectly fly, as God would, his glue melting, and his wings dropping away, fell down in his climbing, and no doubt will give name to the place where he lighteth for perpetual memory of his undue presumption, surely yet piteously bewailed of papists as Icarus was of Dedalus his father.  
This cunning Daedalus, Popish treason, to bring this copulation to contentment of the unchaste Pasiphae, encloseth her in a counterfeit cow, that is, such princes or great estates as desire to lie under the Bull of Rome, popish clergy turneth into brutish shape to serve brutish lust, maketh them beastly, forsaking the dignity of man and woman's shape, whom God made upright to look to God and God's seat the heaven, & it maketh them cowishly stoop to earthward, without regard of the nature of man, the dignity of kingdoms, the reverent aspect to divinity, or any other manly and reasonable consideration, without any more vigour, agility of soul and industry to do nobly than is in a cow: a beast in deed profitable for worldly food, as Papistry is, but (as most part of beasts be) ready to promiscuous & unchosen copulations, and specially meet for a Bull, and among other pretty qualities having one special grace, (as one of their own Popish Doctors preached) to swinging away flies with her tail wet in the water, as foolish papists swinge away sins and temptations with a holy water sprinkle.  
In this beastly likeness, degenerating from manly form, and majesty of governance, by Dedalus workmanship, that is, by popish clergies traitorous practice, ensued the copulation of a Bull and a Queen in a cowishe shape, that is, Sodomitical and unnatural mixture of popish usurpation with and upon royal governance in brutish and reasonless form.  
Of this engendering is begotten Minotaurus, a compounded monster, half a Bull and half a man, a beastly cruel body, roaring out with the voice or sound of a Bull, and words of a man, the sense of a devil. The self same monster Bull is he that lately roared out at the Bishop's palace gate in the greatest city of England, horrible blasphemies against God, & villainous dishonours against the noblest Queen in the world Elizabeth the lawful Queen of England, he stamped and scraped on the ground, flung dust of spiteful speeches and vain curses about him, pushed with his horns at her noble counsellors and true subjects, and for pure anger all to bewrayed the place where he stood. And all this stir he kept, to make a proof if his horned army of calves would or durst come flinging about him toward midsummer moon.  
But he looked so beastly, and he raged so vainly, that though the whole wood rang of his noise, yet his sire the great Bull, his dam the prostitute cow, and his children the foolish calves, were more ashamed of him than the noble Lion was afraid of him. And therefore the Bull his fire, the cow his dam, and the wisest of his calves, fled once again to Daedalus the treason of Popish Clergy, for succour and good counsel, by whose good workmanship this mingled monster is closed up in a Maze, that is, in uncertainty of vain and false reports, and (as it happeneth in a Maze) by ways leading to other places than they seem to tend unto, by crookedness of devices, by spreading into sundry creeks of rumours, to hide whence the Bull came or where he lurketh, even as in the Maze of Daedalus it happened, so it cometh to pass that the Minotaur is not found out, and such as enter into the Maze, that is, into following of Popish reports and devices, entangle themselves so, that wandering uncertainly at length they may hap to perish in Daedalus engine. And judgement they lack (the evident proofs considered that are in that behalf to be ministered) that believe the report to be true of transferring that Bull to Protestants devices. But I fear a worse thing: for if they have no wisdom that say so, wise great persons can not believe them: and if they lack not wit, then can not themselves believe it, and so is their truth to the Prince to be perilously suspected.  
The remedy resteth that some Theseus, some noble and valiant counsellor, or rather one body and consent of all true and good nobility and counsellors follow the good guiding thread, that is, godly policy delivered them by the virgin whom they serve, and conducted thereby not only may pass without error through the Maze and find out the monster Minotaur that roared so rudely, but also destroy him and settle their Prince and themselves in safety: so as, Pasiphae duly and deservedly ordered, Daedalus unwynged and banished, his feathers rightly restored, Icarus fair drowned, the cow transformed, the Maze dissolved & razed, the monster destroyed, the calves (after the cow perished) sent with waltham's calf to suck their Bull, Theseus may be victorious, the virgin Lady most honourable, the land quiet, the subjects safe, and God's providence ever justly praised not vainly tempted, his kindness thankfully embraced, his name lovingly magnified, his policies wisely followed, his Religion zealously maintained.  
But till these noble enterprises be acchieved, it is not good to be heedless. The Monster may be let out of the Maze, when it pleaseth Pasiphae and Daedalus.  
It is good to be awake. Some men be wakened with tickling, and some with pinching or pulling by the ear, that is, some with merry resemblances, and some with earnest admonitions. Some be raised out of sleep with noise, as by the speech or calling of men, or by brute voices, as the roaring of Bulls and noise of beasts, that is, either by advises of them that warn with reason, or with the brags & threatenings of the enemies, or inklinges slipped out of uncircumspect adversaries mouths. Some be wakened with very wisperinges, as with secret rumours and intelligences. Some again are so vigilant and careful, that the very weight of the cause and pensive thinking of it, will scarcely let them sleep at all. But most miserable is their drowsiness, or rather fatal seemeth their sleepiness, that for all the means aforesaid, and specially so lewd and loud roaring of so rude and terrible a Bull, can not be wakened or made to arm and bestir them, till the tumult and alarm in the camp, the clinking of armour, the sound of shot and strokes, the tumbling down of tents round about them, the groaning of wounded men dying on every side of them, treason, force, and hostility triumphing in their lustiest rage, and Sinon, that persuaded the safety of the traitorous horse, insulting among them, yea till the very enemy's weapon in their body awake them. Such may hap so to sleep as they may never wake.  
Let us all wake in prayer to God. Let us cry louder in sincerity and devotion, than the Bull is able to roar in treason and blasphemy. Let us pray God to arm our Queen and Counsel with all wisdom and fortitude, and ourselves with all fidelity and manhood, and to repose ourselves upon confidence of their most blessed governance, and ready with our lives and all that we have to follow and serve them.  
Let us daily and nightly pray God to sand a cursed Cow and a cursed Bull short horns, or to be well capped, or well sawed of, that they bud no more, for else it were better to take away head and all to be sure, lest honester than these calves be made calves, or knocked on the head as though they were calves. Surely as of a body there is but one head that can not be spared, so in a body may be many hods that must needs be spared, as perhaps twenty biles & every one hath a head, in which case there is no peril but lest they go into the body again & then perchance infect the heart blood and put the body in danger. And the only peril of driving them in again you wot is cold and cold handling. Some of our botches be run already, of some their heads be broken, some ryping and I trust shall be well lanced or clean drawn out in time. In the mean time beware cold. And God sand & maintain the warmth of his grace.  
Amen.   

¶ An addition declaratory to the Bulls, with a searching of the Maze.  
¶ Seen and allowed.  
❧ Imprinted at London by john day dwelling over Aldersgate.   

THat ye be not deceived, good Readers, for I see it commonly mistaken, I thought it good to let you know, that the Bull which is published in Print in Latin and English, together with the form of Absolution annexed unto it, is not the same Bull that was set up at the Bishop's gate, as many suppose, but an other. For plain explication of the truth, ye shall understand that there be two Bulls. The one containeth a power and form to pardon, assoil, and reconcile all such as would return from the Christian Religion now taught in England, which they call heresy, and from obeying our Queen and her laws, which they slanderously call schism, to the bosom of the church of Rome which we may truly call Helles mouth.  
The dispensation publishing and employing of this Bull was committed to Doctor Harding, and so many other severally, not only to relieve those Popish patriarchs with the gain of that pardon, but specially to sand out those Archepapistes with that Bull of reconcilement among the queens saint subjects English Papists, as it were captains to strike up their drums to gather soldiers, offering them great wages that should fight under the Pope's banner for an other head against our Queen, that is, remission of their sins, as pure cleanness as when they were baptized, restitution to the communion of the faithful, absolution from all sentences, and from all pains of purgatory, and the enjoying of life and kingdom everlasting.  
With these Bulls and this proclaiming of wages, they have been gathering of rebels ever since the year 1567. and have withal given to very many of them priest money to be ready in rebellions, that is, certain papers, and badges of sundry forms, some with a figure of Christ crucified, some with five wounds, and some other.  
Since which time, namely in the end of February 1569. when the late rebellion was ready laid and in hatching, the Pope's holiness hath decreed an other Bull, no doubt at the special suit, procurement, instance, and importunate calling on of our English traitors, and among other D. Harding and the rest that procured the other Bulls.  
In this is contained an arrogant, tyrannical, and blasphemous taking to himself the power, as committed to him from God, to destroy, transpose, and altar kingdoms at his pleasure, a number of vile and horrible slanders and uncomely namings of our Queen, such as a good subject can hardly hear with patience, the very effect of a great part of the late rebels proclamation as it were translated, & finally his lewd presumptuous sentence of her majesties deprivation, in so spiteful abominable, villainous, and traitorous form as is not to be rehearsed. This is the Bull that was set up at the Bishop's gate.  
It seemeth by all probability, and no doubt upon examinations it will so fall out, that the original of this Bull sealed was among our rebels, and as it is thought) brought them by Markenfeld or some such other, or delivered them upon their conference with strangers, and kept close among them ready to be published so soon as they should have been able to get into their company such head as they desired to set up after our Queen, or such strength as that they durst avow it. God so prevented them that they never came so far.  
In hope of the success of this Bull, 
Pl. etc.  a number of Papists, that sometime did communicate with us, or at lest came ordinarily to our public prayers, have of late forborn, and by this note shall ye know many of them.  
In hope of the success of this Bull, were (as it is reported) litanies and prayers in Rome for the good speed of our rebels.  
In furtherance of the success of this Bull, was the spreading of false news in Spain, of a great battle in Ireland between Papists and Christians, wherein an Angel with a Chalice in his hand was reported to have discomfited many thousands of our queens subjects, for which there were in Spain public gratulations, ringing of bells, and triumphinges, adorned with the greatest presences there, or rather (as may well be suspected) prayers for our rebels success, according to the good meaning of the holy league or the conspiracy of Trent.  
In hope of the success of this Bull, our Lovanistes have stayed their hands from writing, and stand in suspense (better it were they did hung in suspense) and expectation what will become of these mischiefs whereof themselves have been the proctor's.  
In hope of the success of this Bull, 
Co. etc.  a number of Papists have fled of late, and some of them with promising or rather threatening by letters a recompensing at their return of such kindnesses as are showed to their friends in their absence, have uttered their courage.  
This is the Bull that maketh so many Papists stand yet so stiffly in not acknowledging her majesties just authority. And whatsoever they pretend for ecclesiastical causes, the very truth is to be thought that since the decree and publication of this Bull, the most part of them esteem not the Queen lawful Queen of this realm, sith the Pope hath decreed the contrary, who they think can not err. And no doubt if an oath were ministered in this form that they should acknowledge her majesty lawful Queen of this realm, notwithstanding any sentence that the Pope hath given or can give, and that if he have or shall presume to give any such sentence they esteem if erroneous and presumptuous, & will to their power resist him, his adherentes, & fautors that shall attempt to put any such sentence in execution or affirm it lawful: surely they would likewise refuse such oath, unless they would affirm the Pope to err shamefully, judicially, presumptuously, seditiously, traitorously, and in vilest manner, which they would never sincerely confess: but in answering the interrogatories ministered in the book of warning they would show themselves as evil subjects in very deed as they have by some proceeding, and specially by setting up of this Bull, showed the same warning to be true and reasonable.  
Because they never came in the rebellion time to possession and ability to set up the Comet whom they meant to advance in stead of the Sun rising, I mean, they had not the person whom they would extol, nor the power to avow it, neither by foreign joining, nor by domestical strength, it seemeth they did forbear the proclaiming of this great Bull, and have hidden him in the Maze. And yet having some hope left that toward summer perhaps some fools would be mad, or yet at the least desperately at all a very ventures to utter their stomach, they set up a printed copy of this Bull, whereby they have showed that they not only had the original to be proclaimed if time and other circumstances had served, but also had provided a number of copies printed, suddenly to make it common, and therewithal by the way a signification that our bookmen are privy to it.  
Failing yet of this hope, and the wiser sort of them espying that the unseasonable setting it up came not to so politic end as they looked for, to supply the fault of that rashness, they have found a new devise. Their complices, and the secret favourers of these treasons, or peradventure such as (for some respects) are loath that to much of the bottom of this treason should be searched, have spread or favoured a rumour, and given insinuation that it is no true thing, but counterfeited by protestants to bring the papists in hatred.  
Not, not, this fetch is to far set a great deal. Treason it is, and vile and high treason, to advance such a thing, whosoever do it, protestant or papist. And no protestant, you may be sure, will traitorously overthrow this estate, neither is any of them so mad to think it a good excuse for himself, if he should be arraigned for traitorous setting up of such a Bull or paper, to say he did it of an other intent to bring papists the queens enemies in hatred. And so may we well be bold to say, that there is not a protestant in England of sufficient wit and ability to forge such a Bull, that would be content himself to be he hanged drawn and quartered to spite a papist, or that doth think he should spite a papist in procuring to himself so great a danger.  
But the thing being so traitorous and perilous, even in a protestant so intending as these pretend, I would feign learn, or rather have it remembered of them to whom it appertaineth, of what quality the offence is in these qualifiers to conceal it. I do not mean of leaving it undisclosed when they know it, but of doing what they can by persuasion that other should not find it, or by dissuasion transferring the suspicion an other way. Such are not like to such concelers of felonies and treasons as do not utter the felonies, treasons and offenders that they know, but they are like unto those that when a fellow or traitor is pursued, do help to hide him, and convey him into buy corners, and for the felons or traitors easier escape do tell them that pursue him that he is gone a contrary way or give them contrary marks to keep them from knowing and attaching him, or point them to a wrong person while the very these or traitor may make shift for himself, yea and lend him some of their own clotheses to disguise him.  
The thing is to evident, and thereby the truth of such hiders is the more suspicious. There are intelligences enough that the effect of the thing itself was more than a year ago decreed in Rome. The ordinary proceeding of the Pope in like cases, and specially the following of the holy league induceth it. The print is not unknown. The very paper, after it was taken down, falling itself into the former crests & folds and size of the packet wherein it came over, with a number of other plain evidences, disclose the thing, and whence it came. Besides the very thing is such that he may well be said to lack judgement that discerneth it not to be a very Bull. Be not therefore deceived ye good subjects: and ye deceivers, beware ye deceive not yourselves.  
Thus it is evident that such pérswaders lack either wit or truth, but I fear me they are so vain glorious, and stand so much upon undeserved reputation, that they can be better content to be traitors than to be taken for fools.  
But let us call to mind, & gather some fruit of the old tale of Cassandra king Pryames daughter of Troy. She having the gift of prophecy by Apollo, always to give true warnings, had yet this punishment annexed, that though she prophesied truly she should never be believed. So happened it that when subtle Sinon had persuaded the Trojans under false pretence of religion, and specially a dissembling show of dedication to Pallas goddess of wisdom, that is, under colour of wisdom and policy, to break down their walls to receive the horse that the Grecians had framed and stuffed full of chosen soldiers, Cassandra gave warning what treason the horse's womb contained. But by the ordinary and fatal discredit that was laid upon her, and for that (as Poets say) the fates and destinies of Troy's destruction were not removable, she was not believed, the walls were broken down, the horse devoutly received, and though the armour within gave sound and noise, yet was he unsearched, in the night Sinon opened the window, the armed men issued out, the City was fired and destroyed, and all (as the Poets tell) by conduct of Pallas goddess of wisdom and policy.  
I will not at this time prosecute the tale of Laocoon, his office of priesthood, his spear, the serpent from sea, his children, nor the rest, whereof every point and every particle hath his apt resemblance for our benefit.  
Only this I will say, that it may be that for our sins we have Cassandra's plague, though truth be told us, it is possibly not believed. The Grecians then framed a horse. The Papists have now framed a Bull. Their horse was stuffed full of soldiers lurking ready to be let out to set Troy on fire. This Bull is stuffed with traitorous practices to destroy this realm. Sinon persuaded them to receive the Trojan horse without violating or searching it. Our Sinon's & lewd qualifiers would have the Bull esteemed an other thing, and take from us the desire to have his belly searched. Their horse with removing shook, and they might hear the very sound of the armour within him. In this Bull the evidences are plain of open treason, and the very effect of our rebels proclamation translated soundeth within it, and seemeth as it were out of the very Bulls belly to roar and tell us that all they were privy to it that were by any appendance or devise of conjunction or alliance knit to the late rebellion: as also hard it is to excuse Aeneas and Antenor great Lords of Pryames house for knowing to much of the Grecians counsel. Cassandra crieth out against the horse, the fates will not let her be believed, Sinon opened the window, the horse unladed his treasons. Lay this to our case, I will compare no more.  
The Lord be merciful unto us and preserve our Prince, and country, which without our prince can not in all likelihood be preserved. God keep her noble Counsellors, and give grace to all her subjects to stick fast and faithfully to her, and grant to her majesty to continued to stick fast to true subjects, and principally that we all by repentance wipe away the sins that are the impedidiment why Christian Cassandra's, the preachers of God's truth, and good admonitions, are not believed and followed to our preservation.
