As now your master the Baptist is from you; a just argument and occasion of your grief and fasting, if possibly you may beg him of God out of the hands of Herod. When the Duke of Burbons Captains had shut up Pope Clement 8. in the Castle S. Angeto, Cardinall
Wolsey being shortly after sent Embassadour beyond seas, to make* 1.1 means for his release, as he came thorow Canterbury to ward 〈◊〉〈◊〉, he commanded the Monks, and the Quire to sing the Letany after this sort, Sancta Maria, ora pro Papa nostro Clemente. Him∣self also being present was seen to weep tenderly, for the Popes calamity. Shall superstition do that, that Religion cannot bring us to? Shall we not turn again unto the Lord with fasting, weep∣ing and mourning, if for nothing else, yet that our poor 〈◊〉〈◊〉 may finde compassion? Which is Hezekiah's motive to the* 1.2 people.
〈◊〉〈◊〉 and 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of Card. 〈◊〉〈◊〉 pag. 38.
