I am therefore in very assured hope, that by my comming to
the Catholike Church, beside the satisfying, and sauing of mine
owne soule, I shall doe no ill seruice to your Maiestie, neither in
respect of your selfe nor your children, nor in respect of your Lords
and Commons, and that there is no reason concerning the state of
any of these, that is sufficient to disswade vnitie. There is onely the
Clergie left, which if Caluinisme may goe on, and preuaile as it
doth, shall not in the next age bee left to bee satisfied; and there
is little reason that any man that loues the Clergie, shall desire to
satisfie such1 Clergie-men, as do vnder-hand fauour Caluinists,
descriptionPage 281
and maintaine such2 points of doctrine,3 as if your Maiesties fauour
were not, would out of hand ouerthrow the Clergie, and in stead of
them, set vp a few stipendary Preachers.
Notes

What tho•••• Clergie men are, wee desire to know, and who in your sense are Caluinists.
That his Maiesties fauour to the Clergie is such, as not to giue way to their ouerthrow, and in stead of them to set vp a few stipendary Preachers, we haue had good triall, and are bound to blesse God for it: but sore against the will of all Romane Catholikes, it is that his Maiestie should fauour them so much.
