 Btit yet to Ihewe a difference in writing, and a playnneffc m

 hauc now in as ample a maner ( without borrowed termes) 
 xs I could , declared my opinion of that fwcete Soyle and

 was almoft forgotten , or fcarce remembred with any great

 and poflfe (led along feafon from her princely and iuft dea- 
 lings. An ad fo noble &: notorious , that neither can cfcapc 
 immortall famc.nor fliall not paHc my pen vnrcfited. 
 
 Now weigh in what plight was our i^ate when flie came 
 firft to thcCrownc,and fee how foonc Religion was refor- 
 med,(a matter of great moment)peace planted,and warrcs 
 vtterly extingLiinisd,as the fequellyet'fallcth out. 
 
 Then behold how iTie fuccourcd the afflided in Fraunce^ 
 (let the going to ?{ervhan€n bearc witneflb) and chargcably 
 without breaking of League maintcyncd her friends and a- 
 mazed her enemies. 
 
 Then looke into thefcruice and preferuation o^ScotUnd 
 (atthc (lege o(Leeth)^i\d fee how fmely the French were al 
 fliipped away ( they being a great power ) and fent home in 
 fuch fort^tliat neuer fincc they had mynd to rcturnc thether

 Scotland zt the {iT{\. 
 
 Then confider how bacc our money was,& in what fliort 
 tyme (with little loiTc to our Countrey ) the bad coync was 
 conuerted to good filucr : andfo is like to continue to the 
 end of the world. ^ 
 
 Then in the aduancing of Gods word and goodpcoplc,' 
 regard ho'-v T^hell was relieued.and \R^rie and other places 
 foud caufc to pray for her Ii[c,'^ho fought to purchace their 
 peace and fee them in fafetie- 
 
 Then thinke on the care (he tookcforf /«?««^^r/ , during 
 the firft troubles , and how that Countrey had bene vtterly 
 deftroyedjif her Highnes helping hand had not propped vp 
 that tottering State, 
 
 Then Chriltianly coceiue how many muf^'tudcs of (gran- 
 gers flie hath r,iuen gracious countenance vnto , and hath 
 freely licenfed them to Hue here iri pcizc and reft. 
 
 Then paifein an equall ballancc the daungerous cftatcof

 cient power to ayde the Kings Maicftic : which power vali- 
 antly wonne the Caftle,and freely deliuered the fame to the 
 right owner thereof ,. with all the treafure and prifoners. 
 therein. 
 
 Then regard how honourably fhe hath dealt with diucrs 
 Princes that came to fee her,or needed her magnificet fiip- 
 portation and countenance. 
 
 Then looke throughly into the nvightincfle & managing 
 of all matters gone about and put in exercife princely, and 
 yet peaceably imce the d.^y of her KigiincfTe Coronation, 
 and you Qialbe forced to contcfle that flie furmounts a great . 
 number of her Prcdcceflbrs : and (lie is not at this day no 
 whit inferiour to the greatefl Monarke of the world . 
 
 Is not fuch a peereles Queene then,a comfort to VValf 5, 
 aglorie to England , and a great rcioyfing to all her good 
 neighbours? And doth not (he daily dderue to haue bookes 
 dedicated in the higheft degree of honor to her HighnelTe? 
 Yes vndoubtedly , or els my fences and iudgeraent fay leth

 So(good Rcadcr)do iudge of my labours : my pen is pro- 
 cured by a band of caufes to write as farre as my knowledge 
 may lcade:and my duetie liAtii no endof feruice , nor no li-
