I then mou'd you,

My Lord of Canterbury, and got your leaue

To make this present Summons vnsolicited.

I left no Reuerend Person in this Court;

But by particular consent proceeded

Vnder your hands and Seales; therefore goe on,

For no dislike i'th'world against the person

Of the good Queene; but the sharpe thorny points

Of my alleadged reasons, driues this forward:

Proue but our Marriage lawfull, by my Life

And Kingly Dignity, we are contented

To weare our mortall State to come, with her,

(Katherine our Queene) before the primest Creature

That's Parragon'd o'th'World
