[1] After that quéene Marie was thus with full con|sent of the nobles and commons of the realme pro|clamed quéene, she being then in Northfolke, at hir castell of Framingham,Quéene Ma|rie commeth to London. repaired with all speed to the citie of London: and the third daie of the said moneth of August she came to the said citie, and so to the tower, where the ladie Iane of Suffolke (late afore proclamed quéene) with hir husband the lord Gilford, a little before hir comming, were commit|ted to ward, & there remained almost after fiue mo|neths. And by the waie, as the quéene thus passed, she was ioifullie saluted of all the people, without anie misliking; sauing that it was much feared of manie, that she would alter the religion set foorth by king Edward hir brother, whereof then were giuen iust occasions: because (notwithstanding diuerse lawes made to the contrarie) she had dailie masse and La|tine seruice said before hir in the tower. Yea it was doubted in like sort, that she would both adnull and innouat certeine lawes and decrées established by the yoong prince hir predecessor: which she did in deed, as one hath left testified in a memoriall of hir succes|sion (but little vnto hir commendation) saieng:

At Maria Eduardi regni succedit habenis,

Confirmans iterùm regno papalia iura,

Concilióque nouas leges sancire vocato

Molitur, latas à fratre perosa priores.
