The match is dubbed "dangerous" because it poses a threat to the "safetie of o[u]r sou[er]aigne [Queen Elizabeth I]," and no match should "call in question, whether her ma[ies]tie may governe or not gou[er]ne in her owne Realme." Subdivided into sections "A consideration of the Q[uene] of Scott[es] p[er]son," "The considerac[i]on of the Dukes p[er]son," "A considerac[i]on of the matche," "A considerac[i]on of the p[re]sent state," "A discourse vpon the presen[t] consideracions," "now lett vs see what dowbt growith by this match of the abvse of the seid qualities," and "A Comparation betwene the home match [and] the forrayne".
