Wals. that the states should assemble againe in parlement on mon|daie then next insuing, being the feast daie of saint Faith, which is the sixt of October; and that the mon|day then next following, being the 13 of the same moneth, and the feast day of saint Edward the king and confessor, the coronation should be solemnized,The corona|tion proclai|med. and that all such as had to claime any seruice to be doone by them at the same by any tenure, they should come to the White-hall in the kings palace, before the steward and constable of England, on saturdaie next before the same day of the parlement, and presenting their petitions that were due & rightfull,The parlemẽt they should obteine that to them apperteined. Excuse was also made on the kings behalfe, for calling of a parle|ment vpon so short a warning, so as the knights and burgesses were not changed, but onelie appointed to assemble againe, as if the other parlement had ra|ther beene continued than dissolued. The cause was alledged to be for easing of the charges that would haue risen, if ech man had béene sent home, and new knights and burgesses called.

In the after n [...]one were proclamations made in the accustomed places of the citie, in the name of king Henrie the fourth. On the morrow following, being wednesdaie and first of October, the procurators aboue named repaired to the tower of London, and there signified vnto king Richard the admission of king Henrie. And the aforesaid iustice William Thirning, in name of the other, and for all the states of the land, renounced vnto the said Richard late king, all ho|mage and fealtie vnto him before time due, in ma|ner and forme as apperteined. Which renuntiation to the deposed king, was a redoubling of his greefe in so much as thereby it came to his mind, how in for|mer times he was acknowledged & taken for their liege lord and souereigne, who now (whether in con|tempt or in malice, God knoweth) to his face for|sware him to be their king. So that in his heuin [...]s he might verie well haue said with a gréeued plaintife,

Richard depriued. by reason he was so giuen to follow euill counsell, and vsed such inconue|nient waies and meanes, through insolent misgo|uernance, and youthfull outrage, though otherwise a right noble and woorthie prince. He reigned two and twentie yeares, three moneths and eight daies. He deliuered to king Henrie now that he was thus de|posed, all the goods that he had, Hall. to the summe of three hundred thousand pounds in coine, besides plate and iewels, as a pledge and satisfaction of the iniuries by him committed and doone, in hope to be in more suer|tie of life for the deliuerie thereof: but whatsoeuer was promised, he was deceiued therein. For shortlie after his resignation, he was conueied to the castell of Leeds in Kent, & frõ thence to Pomfret, where he departed out of this miserable life (as after you shall heare.) He was séemelie of shape and fauor,His perso|nage. & of na|ture good inough, if the wickednesse & naughtie de|meanor of such as were about him had not altered it.
