The cause that moued hir to stir sedition.

151. It was the thirst I had both crownes to weare,
And from a captiues state my selfe to reare.

159. Guyse whoe did lay the egges that I should hatch
Sawe subjects hearts in England would not bend
To treason, nor his force noe hold could catch
To bring to passe the thing wee did entend,
He therefore caused the Pope a pardon send
To such as should by violent stroke procure
Hir death whose fall my rising might procure.
