Here it pleaseth you to call Cathedrall Churches, Popish dennes, As hap is your wordes are no slaunder. But this bragge I will make of Cathedrall Churches, and such as be nowe in them, I will offer vn∣to you a dozen Cathedrall Churches in England (which I my selfe do know) the worst whereof in learning, shall encounter with al Pa∣pistes, Puritanes, Anabaptists, and what other sectes soeuer in Englande, for the defense of religion now professed, eyther by worde or wryting. Without arrogancie be it spoken, I thinke there was neuer time wherein these Churches were better furnished with wise, learned and godly men, than they be at this day. I speake not this boastingly, but to Gods glorie, the honour of the Prince, the comfort of the godly, and the shame of slaunderous Papistes, and disdainfull Schismatikes.
Your slaunderous speech of the Queenes Maiesties Chappell, which you also say to be a patterne and president to the people of all superstitions, is rather seuerely to be punished, than with words to be confuted.
