This made Luther pray, A doctore glorioſo & à Paſtore contentioſo, liberet Eccleſiam ſuam Dominus. From vain-glorious and contentious preachers, The good Lord deliver his Church.
Suppoſing to adde affliction to my bonds] An immane cruelty, ſuch as Iob and David of[illegible: 1 letter] complain of, Iob 6.14. Pſal. 69.26.Camdens Eliz. 531. Queen Elizabeth hated no leſſe then did Mithridates, ſuch as maliciouſly perſecuted vertue forſaken of fortune, ſaith Camden.
