Seite 106 - 0 wretched captive of his prison speaks Unless with pain and bitterness of soul, Yet consolation from the Muse he seeks Whose voice alone misfortune can control.

Seite 208 - Word, for your diligence at this time in procuring the King's Highness to set forth the said God's Word "and his gospel, by his Grace's authority. For the which act, not only the King's Majesty, but also you, shall have a perpetual laud and memory of all them that be now, or hereafter shall be, God's faithful people, and the favourers of his Word.
