The First Blast of the Trumpet Against the Monstrous Regiment of Women (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The First Blast of the Trumpet Against the Monstrous Regiment of WomenMary tudor, Queen of England, having for her heir apparent the Princess elizabeth.Of these, the last - also of least account at this moment, being in confinement - was the only hope of the Reformers. The other four, largely directing the affairs of three kingdoms, were steadfastly hostile to the new faith. Truly, the odds were heavy against it. Who could have anticipated that within three years of the writing of this book both mary tudor and mary DE lorraine would have passed away that knox himself would have been in Scotland carrying on the Reformation and that elizabeth would have commenced her marvellous reign. So vast a change in the political world was quite beyond all reasonable foresight.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
