shrewd proofs by’r lady and by saint Peter, I swear we will not trust their gentleness, Speak Gardner and resolve us speedily, whose's the ringleader of this lusty crew? Unless your highness please to pardon us, We dare not speak nor urge your majesty. We pardon what ye speak, resolve us speedily. Then if your royal person will be safe, Your life preserved and this fair Realm in peace. And all these troubles smoothly pacified, The Queen dear Lord must be removed from you. Haw, the Queen, bold Sir advise ye well, Take heed ye do not wrong her loyalty. See here my liege are proofs too manifest, Her highness with a sect of Lutherans: Have private meetings, secret conventicles, To wrest the grounds of all religion: Seeking by tumults to subvert the state, The which without your majesties consent, Is treason capital against the Crown. And seeing without the knowledge of your grace, They dare attempt these dangerous stratagems, 'tis to be feared, which heaven we pray prevent, They do conspire against your sacred life. Why else, should all these private meetings be without the knowledge of your majesty. Mother a god these proofs are probable, And strong presumptions do confirm your words, within there, ho? Sir William Compton see the doors made fast, Double our guard let none come near our person, Summon the counsel to confer with us, Bid them attend us in the privy chamber, Here is a letter for your majesty, From Martin Luther out of Germany. damned Schismatic still will he trouble us with books and letters, leave it and be gone: The villain thinks to smooth his treachery, By fawning speeches to our majesty, But by my George Lord Bishops if I live, I'll root his favourits from England's bounds What writes his worship? Now Bonner stir, the game is set afoot, The king is now incensed, let's follow close To have Queen Katherne shorter by a head, These heresies will cease when she is dead. Holy saint Peter what a knave is this, Ere while he writ submissively to us; And now again repents his humbleness, Bishops it seems being touched with our reply He writes thus boldly to our majesty, Gardner look here he was deceived he says When he thought to find Iohn Baptist in the Courts of princes, or resident with those that are Clothed in purple, Mother a god, Is't not a dangerous knave. False luther knaves he has great friends in England: Else durst he not thus move your Majesty. we'll cut his friends off, ere they grow too strong And sweep these vipers from our state ere long, No marvel though Queen Katherne plead for him, That is I see the greatest Lutheran, How is your counsels we proceed in these? 'ttwere best your grace did send her to the Tower. Before they further do consit with her.
