out of her whole Realme, least she might be sayd to beare with any thing against the Apostolike doctrine and Chri∣stian Ceremonies.
And therfore the thunderclap of that Tarpeian or Ro∣mane Iupiters curse, wherewith he will haue the Quéene to séeme to be striken through, is but a blockish thūderbolt, and no more to be feared, then the thunderclappes, smokes, and mistes of Cacus were to be feared of Hercules, as hath bene sayd already afore.
