M. Hardinge.

Howe farre ye haue attempted (I meane the sectes of your Brotherhed) in sundry Countries, to wreaste the Swoorde out of Princes handes, to transpose their Scepters at your pleasure, and to al∣ter states and signories, though wee holde our peace,* 1.1 the worlde Iudgeth, the Bloudde of so ma∣ny thousandes slaine speaketh, Englande repenteth, Scotlande mourneth, Germanie roareth, Fraunce bewaileth, Sauoie weepeth, all Christendome lamenteth.‡ 1.2 VVere the hundred thousande Boures of Germanie consumed by the Swoorde of the Nobilitie there for their obedience? The Duke of Saxonie, and Lantgraue of Hesse, were they ouerthrowen in fielde and taken captiue, for standinge in Defence of their Soueraigne? VVere so greate multitudes of people destroied at Munster for their loyaltie? Your Sacramentarie Suitzers of Berna, who robbed the quiet Olde Duke of Sauoye of his Townes, and Countries, from the farther side of the lake of Geneua vnto the Alpes, did they this for mainetenance of his righte, and to set him at reste with litle? VVhat meante ye, when ye laide your Heades togeather, beinge at Geneua in Queene Maries daies, the Faithfull* 1.3 Brothers of Englande, and Scotlande, and deuised a most Seditious and Traiterous Booke againste the monstrous regiment of VVomen?
