             she
             discovered
             her
             mind
             wholly
             bent
             to

             She
             told
             her
             friends
             in
             plain
             tearmes

             whom
             she
             named
             should
             preach
             more
             honestly

             more
             sincerely
             then
             they
             had
             done
             ,
             yet
             they

             banished

             She
             expressed
             at
             the
             death
             of
             a

             whom
             she
             seemed
             to
             bewaile
             ,
             being
             slain

             for
             that
             his

             had
             not

             excused
             him

             the
             Romish
             custome

             For
             these
             and
             divers
             other

             good
             to
             the
             Protestants

             and
             to
             remember
             the
             many
             promises
             she
             had
             made

             them
             to
             that
             end

             But
             all

             vaine

             She
             told

             who
             were
             sent

             that
             performance
             of
             promises
             was
             to
             be
             expected
             from

             .
             Upon
             this
             they
             told
             one
             another
             that
             they
             then
             renounced
