Compare 1577 edition: 1 3 Thirdlie,He exhorteth to a generall returne into the bosome of the church. he exhorted that though the realme had swarued from the catholike vnitie, that yet being better informed, we ought to returne into the bo|some of the church, most open to receiue all peni|tents. For the persuasion wherof he brought a num|ber of old examples, what perill and hurt hath happe|ned vnto them that haue swarued and gone from the church of Rome, namelie Greece and Germanie.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 4 Fourthlie,He declareth how wonder|fullie god had preserued Q. Marie. how much we are bound to God for the king and quéens maiesties, and how miraculous|lie God had saued and defended our queene from hir enimies in most dangerous times: and also that hée hath prouided to ioine with hir in mariage, such a noble prince as king Philip was, & one of hir owne religion.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 5 Fiftlie,He exhorteth to obedience and treateth of restoring this realme to the vnitie of the church. he exhorted them all to obedience of these two princes, and to call vpon God for issue to be had betweene them, adding that king Philips fa|ther the emperour, had amongst other princes tra|uelled most for the restitution of the peace and vnitie of the church. But as almightie God said vnto Da|uid, though he had a mind and will to build his tem|ple: yet bicause he had shed bloud, he should not build it. And so bicause the emperour hath had so ma|nie warres, and shed so much bloud therefore hee could not atteine to bring perfect peace to the church. But trulie (said he) this gratious prince king Philip his sonne, as I conceiue, is appointed of God to it, considering now the calling of him to be ioined with so catholike a princesse, as is the queene of this realme, one without all doubt sent likewise of God, for the restoring of the said realme to the vnitie of the church, from whence it hath erred and gone astraie, as it dooth and maie manifestlie appeare.
