Lastly, am I costly to bee prouided?
or hard to bee maintayned? No, cheapnesse is my purueyour,
easinesse my preseruer, neither doe I make you blow away your charges
with my breath, or taynt your nose with my sent, nor defile your
face and fingers with my colour, like that hellborne murderer,
whom you accept before me. I appeale then to your valiant Princes,
Edwards, and Henries, to the battayles of Cresey, Poyters, Agincourt,
and Floddon, to the regions of Scotland, Fraunce, Spaine, Italy,
Cyprus, yea and Iury, to be vmpires of this controuersie: all which
(I doubt not) will with their euidence playnely prooue, that when
mine aduerse party was yet scarcely borne, or lay in her swathling
clouts, through mee onely your auncestours defended their Countrey,
vanquished their enemies, succoured their friends, enlarged their
Dominions, aduanced their religion, and made their names fearfull to
the present age, and their fame euerlasting to those that ensue.
Wherefore, my deare friends, seeing I have so substantially euicted
the rightof my cause conforme your wils to reason, conforme your
reason by practise, and conuert your practise to the good of your
selues and your Country.
