[1] But now my lord to conclude what I meane to|ward your noble person, I saie and affirme, if you loue God, your linage, or your natiue countrie, you must your selfe take vpon you the crowne and impe|riall diademe of this noble empire, both for the main|tenance of the honour of the same (which so long hath flourished in fame and renowme) as also for the deli|uerance of your naturall countrimen, from the bon|dage and thraldome (woorse than the captiuitie of Ae|gypt) of so cruell a tyrant and arrogant oppressor. For thus I dare saie, if anie forren prince or potentate, yea the Turke himselfe would take vpon him the re|giment here, and the crowne, the commons would rather admit and obeie him, than to liue vnder such a bloudsucker and child-killer. But how much more ioifull and glad would they be to liue vnder your grace, whome they all know to be a ruler méet and conuenient for them, and they to be louing and obe|dient subiects, méet to liue vnder such a gouernour? Despise not, nor forsake not so manifest an occasion so louinglie offered.
