48mo. 32pp. Here the biography of Lady Jane Grey - the "Nine Days' Queen" who was caught up in, and eventually executed as a result of, the fraught aftermath of the death of Edward VI - is translated into an exemplar of religious devotion. The author of the tract amplifies what was in reality only part of a larger political collapse. Jane's chief adversary was Mary I, notoriously and stridently a Catholic whose succession would have, it was supposed, brought Roman Catholicism back to England. Jane was offered the chance to convert just before her execution. She refused, but her decision either way surely would not have saved her from her ultimate demise. Bound in plain printed wrappers. Lightly foxed throughout, minimal rubbing to edges, else near fine.
