¶By this time report had sufficientlie sounded a|brode all that happened, speciallie the solemnities ex|ecuted about this roiall marriage; whereby some supposed that this land would haue become a golden world, and that such amitie would haue insued be|tweene both nations, as nothing should dissolue. But others were of a contrarie opinion, supposing (as it came to passe indéed) that the peoples minds would be alienated and estranged from the disposition whereto they were addicted in king Edwards daies, and that manie would become heauie hearted vpon heare-saie of this coniunction; much more pensife & grieued at the meditation of the miseries which were like immediatlie to follow; as C. O. noteth in dis|coursing on this matter, saieng as here follo weth:

Nubat vt Angla Anglo, regina Maria Philippo,Inque suum fontem regia stirps redeat,Noluit humani generis daemon vetus hostis,Sed Deus Anglorum prouida spes voluit.Nollet Scotus inops, timidúsque ad praelia Gallus,Caesar, & Italia, & Flandria tota volet.Noluit Haereticus (stirps Caiphae) pontificum grexPontificum sed grex Catholicus voluit.Octo vxorati Patres in daemone nollent:Quinque Cathenati pro pietate volent.Noluit Iohannes Dudley Northumbrius vrsus,Sed fidum regni Concilium voluit.Noluit aetatis nostrae Catilina Viatus,Sed proceres & plebs & pia turba volet.Nollet Graius dux, & Cantia terra rebellans:Nos quoniam Dominus sic voluit, volumus.Clarior effectus repetat sua limina sanguis,Cùm sit Philippo iuncta Maria viro.]
