To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Finally, and briefly, the frequent practices and examples of other times may make this also more doubtful, considering how many subtle pretences, after the like sort, have been sought, and wrongful accusations brought, against many innocent persons. For, not to repeat the like forgeries against the lord Cobham, and sir Roger Acton, &c. , why may not this accusation of the duchess and Only be as false, as that in the time of king Edward V. , which was laid to the charge of the queen and Shore's ...wife, by the protector, for enchanting and bewitching his withered arm ? which to be false, all the Avorld doth know, and but a quarrel made, only to oppress the life of the lord Hastings, and the lord Stanley. And thus mayest thou see, gentle reader! according to the wise man's saying, ' Nihil novum esse sub sole; nihilque dictum, quod non sit dictum prius, ' &c. Although these, with many more conjectures, may be alleged as some part of the defence of this duchess, and of her chaplains and priests, yet, because it may still not be impossible for the matter laid against them to be true, 1 leave it therefore at large, as 1 find it ; saying, as I said before, that if tliat be true which the stories say in this matter, think, 1 beseech thee, gentle reader !
