Whome when he beheld comming, he suddenlie left the matter with which he was in hand, and without anie deduction therevnto, out of all order and out of all frame, began to repeat those words againe:K. Richard commended by the prea|cher.

This is the verie no|ble prince, the speciall patrone of knightlie prowesse, which as well in all princelie behauior, as in the line|aments & fauor of his visage, representeth the verie face of the noble duke of Yorke his father: this is the fathers owne figure, this is his owne countenance, the verie print of his visage, the sure vndoubted i|mage, the plaine expresse likenesse of the noble duke, whose remembrance can neuer die while he liueth.

But the people were so farre fro crieng; K. Richard, that they stood as they had béene turned into stones, for woonder of this shamefull ser|mon.Note y^e course of Gods iudgement. After which once ended, the preacher gat him home, and neuer after durst looke out for shame, but kept him out of sight like an owle.
