and of her kingdome is assaulted by the bishop of Rome, and the Spanish
King: and therefore howe conueniently and necessarily her Maiestie is
drawen to resist this force and to auoyde these frauds, and with what
iniurious allegations the execution of lawes and iustice, is as it were
torne and rent in pieces, not only by malitious imprinted Libels, but
also by painted tables and pictures, signifying I knowe not what
monstrous things, resemblances of some barbarous crueltie, as they
falsely calumniate and exclaime, to be vsed against the foresaid
Iesuites, and Seminarie Priests, that is to say, against men guiltie of
high and horrible treason.

But as for her Maiestie, she desireth to stand as a person voide of all
trueth and credite with good Princes, if she euer punished any of these
men with any strange or newe kinde of torment, then is appointed by the
prescript of the ancient lawes of this Realme prouided against such
persons, as shall be found and conuicted for Rebels and Traytors.

FINIS.
