ffoord as good credit to the register at _Tiburne_ as to
the Calender of _Tyber_: for if these be Martyrs, I wonder who are
Murtherers? If these be Saints, I pray you who are Scythians? If these
bee Catholikes, who are Canibals?

I passe to the second exposition of these wordes, _O praise God in his
sanctitie_, so _Munster_, _Pagninus_, _Beza_, _Tremelius_ and our old
