"Section 3: [...] we do out of the fullness of our apostolic power
declare the foresaid Elizabeth to be a heretic and favorer of heretics,
and her adherents in the matters aforesaid to have incurred the sentence
of anathema and to be cut off from the unity of the body of Christ."

Not regicide, just excommunication.

"Section 4. And moreover, we declare her to be deprived of her pretended
title to the kingdom aforesaid, and of all dominion, dignity and
privilege whatsoever;"

Again, not regicide.

"Section 6: [...] We charge and command all and singular the nobles,
subjects, peoples and others aforesaid that they do not dare obey her
orders, mandates and laws. Those who shall act to the contrary we
include in the like sentence of excommunication."

Reinforcement that the above isn't regicide, mere excommunication.
