By this, the Counsell of this Warre had met, And had at large of eu'ry thing discust; And the graue Clergie had with them beene set: To warrant what they vndertook was iust, And as for monies that to be no let, They bad the King for that to them to trust: The Church to pawne, would see her Challice layde, E'r shee would leaue one Pyoner vnpayde.
