For as to our Church, I would have you know that it is so hateful
to the Queen [of England], that on this account she has never said
a single word in acknowledgement of the gift of my _Annotations
[on the New Testament]_. The reason of her dislike is twofold;
one, because we are accounted too severe and precise, which is
very displeasing to those who fear reproof; the other is, because
formerly, though without our knowledge, during the lifetime of
Queen MARY, two books were published here in the English language,
one by Master KNOX against the _Government of Women_, the other by
Master GOODMAN on the _Rights of the Magistrate_.

As soon as we learned the contents of each, we were much
displeased, and their sale was forbidden in consequence; but she,
notwithstanding, cherishes the opinion she has taken into
her head[2].
