Some were impiously contracting transmarine force; some were preparing money to nourish that same force; many were instilling futile and fallacious speeches into the ears of monarchs and greatest kings, by which they might inflame them to take up arms against the fatherland, the common parent of their own; some were weaving domestic ambushes for the sake of removing THE MOST POWERFUL referring to Queen Elizabeth; some were uncovering famous libels—with which all things are already full—without intermission, described in most terrible words and sprinkled with most poisonous lies. Why do you ask?

Because they could not endure leisure in their own vineyards, they erected Schools

Seminaries instituted as nurses of sedition.
