THAT MANY PRIESTS AND OTHER CATHOLIQVES IN ENGLAND HAVE BENE PERSECVTED, condemned, and executed, for mere matter of religion: and for transgression onelie of nevv statutes vvhich doe make cases of Conscience to be treason, vvithout al pretence or sur∣mise of any old treasons or statutes for the same.CAP. I. -

THAT WE NOWE HAVE GREAT CAVSE TO COMPLAINE OF INIVST per∣secution, intollerable seuerity and cruelty tovvardes Catho¦liques in England: and their Protestantes no reason to doe the like for the Iustice done to them in Quene MARIES and other Princes dayes, and the cause of the difference.CAP. III. -
THAT OVR PRIESTS AND CA∣THOLIQVE BRETHREN HAVE BEHAVED them selues discretlie, and nothing seditiouslie ī their ansvvers to the questions of the Bul of Pius Quintus; and that they can not laufullie be pressed nor put to death as traitors by the true meaning of th'olde lavves of the Realme for the same; vvith examination of the six Articles proposed about the said Bul.CAP.

THAT IT IS MVCH TO THE BE¦NEFITE AND STABILITIE OF COMMON vvealthes, and speciallie of Kinges scepters, that the difference betvvixt them and their people, for Religion or anie other cau¦se for vvhich they may seeme to deserue depriuation, may rather be decided by the supreme Pastor of the Church, as Catholiques vvould haue it; then by popular muti∣nie and phantasie of priuate men, as Heretikes desire, and practize.CAP. VI. -
OF THE LATE WARRES IN IRE∣LAND FOR RELIGION: HOW THE POPE may vse the svvord; and that the differences betvvixt tempo∣ral Princes and him, or their resisting him in some cases of their vvorldlie interest, can be no vvarrant to the Protestantes to contemne his censures or autho∣ritie in matter of Faith and Religion.CAP. VII. -
THAT THE SEPERATION OF THE PRINCE AND REALME FROM THE VNITIE of the Church and Sea Apostolique, and fal from Catholique religion, is the onely cause of al the present feares and dāgers that the State seemeth to stand in. And that they vniustly attribute the same to the Popes Holines, or Catholiques; and vntruly cal them enimies of the Realme.CAP. VIII. -
