This me to vrge the premunire wonne,
Ordain’d in matters dangerous and hie,
In t’which the heedlesse prelacie were runne,
That backe vnto the papacie did flie,
Sworne to that sea, and what before was done
Due to the king, dispensed were thereby,
In t’which first entring offred me the meane
That to throw downe, alreadie that did leane.
