Is not the state of Christian nations miserable and to be lamented out of whose blood and bowels so great heaps of monie are caried to Rome to be consumed foorthwith in dennes brothelhouses and gluttonie of the popes cardinals and such epicures Doth not the spectacle of the common people of France séeme lamentable and deadly séeing that in these times the persecutions of the reformed churches being so often restored and renewed we sée innumerable families cast out through hunger necessitie beg in the stréets being destroied and quite past hope of recouerie And to sée the wealthie fat epicures of Rome to be glutted with the blood of our citizens To sée the naturall countrimen of France that came of most ancient houses wander vp and down with their wiues and children in strange countries being driuen out of their own countrie and places where they were borne And to sée the Romish ruffians which are put into their place by Sixtus the fift to be intertained so courteously by those that are in authoritie O nation of France derided of all other nations that can so long beare that tyrannicall lordship of the papacie O Iesu Christ that wast crucified for vs and raised againe and art placed at the right hand of God the father what end dost thou shew vs or O thou great King what end dost thou giue vs of our labors And to the end the most famous Senators of the Parleament being lawiers may vnderstand that there were long ago of the same order learned men which haue openly detested that cruell and barbarous tyrannie I will héerafter cite some testimonies out of their bookes wherof that is the first out of D.
