her Maiestie is, may at the least in this one
thing seeme more tollerable, and lesse difficult and labourious to bee
continued, in not suffering the foresaid _Hanse_ men, to transport to
the forenamed common enemie, out of their Kingdomes, Dukedomes, Ports
and Straights, any victuals or instruments of warre, by ordeyning seuere
corrections vpon the rebellious and disobedient, and such as shall dare
to attempt the contrary, and to thinke of her Maiestie and her actions,
as of a Prince most careful, both of the vniuersall peace of Religion,
and of the safetie of all and singular Princes her Confederats, & that
they would by ioyning their Counsels & forces in one, vse all their
power and abilitie to extinguish the practises of the Romish
priesthod, that so a sincere, holy, and largely extending peace, free
from treacheries, may be entred, concluded and established throughout
all Christianitie, to the honour of Almightie God, and the tranquilitie

which cogitation, her Maiestie most sincerely and constantly abideth,
and will not cease (God blessing her) to remooue all impediments for
her part, to procure this good effect according to her honourable desire.

is, and a thing that creepes farre without many mens knowledge. It is
that same priuie legation and sending as it were in corners of certaine
falsly termed Iesuites and Seminaries into this kingdome, to withdrawe
the mindes of the simple and ignorant people, from their duetifull
obedience to the Queenes Maiestie and the Realme. But as these kind of
men doe spring of certaine runnagates, and fugitiues naturally borne
Subiects, who at home, either for pouertie growe desperate, or by reason
of their vicious liues, could not long lie hid: so being nowe sent home
againe by the Pope, cease not vnder the habite of their superstitious
profession to runne from house to house, from Towne to Towne, stirring
vp the people by their whisperings to rebellion, and scattering certaine
popish Buls, made and sent for th
