King John.
OF this King we cannot
reckon so many impie∣ties
as he had: Unnatural
to his own blood, to the
wife in his bosom; bloody
to Nobility and Clergy;
Perjury, often swearing,
but never kept his word;
betrayes the Crowne and
Kingdome to the Pope;
And rather then want his
will to ruine both Church,
Nobles, and the whole Na∣tion,
sends Ambassadours
descriptionPage 11
to a Moor, a mighty King
in Africa, to render unto
him this kingdome of Eng∣land,
to hold it from him
as his Soveraign Lord, to
renounce Christ, and re∣ceive
Mahomet. In the
heat of his wars with the
Nobility, Gentry, and
Commons of this Land, re∣paires
to the Abbey of
Swines-head, where he is
poysoned, and leaves be∣hind
him three Bastards.
