Philippi & Mariae genealogia, qua am|bo principes ex Iohanne de Gandauo Eduarditer|tij, Angliae, Franciaeque regis filio descendisse ostenduntur, Whito Lincolniense authore.

Ille parens regum Gandaua ex vrbe Iohannes
Somersetensem comitem profert Iohannem.
Somersetensis venit hoc patre dux Iohannes,
Qui Margaretam Richemundi habuit comitissam.
Haec dedit Henricum, qui regni septimus huius
Henrico octauo solium regale reliquit.
Hoc patre propitio, & fausto quasi sydere nata
Iure tenes sacram, teneásque Maria coronam.

Verses of maister White bishop of Lin|colne,These verses are answe|red in master Fox by the ler|ned. concerning the marriage of Phi|lip and Marie.

Nubat vt Angla Anglo, regina Maria Philippo,
Inque suum fontem regia stirps redeat,
Noluit humani generis daemon vetus hostis,
Sed Deus Anglorum prouida spes voluit.
Nollet Scotus inops, timidúsque ad praelia Gallus,
Caesar, & Italia, & Flandria tota volet.
Noluit Haereticus (stirps Caiphae) pontificum grex
Pontificum sed grex Catholicus voluit.
Octo vxorati Patres in daemone nollent:
Quinque Cathenati pro pietate volent.
Noluit Iohannes Dudley Northumbrius vrsus,
Sed fidum regni Concilium voluit.
Noluit aetatis nostrae Catilina Viatus,
Sed proceres & plebs & pia turba volet.
Nollet Graius dux, & Cantia terra rebellans:
Nos quoniam Dominus sic voluit, volumus.
Clarior effectus repetat sua limina sanguis,
Cùm sit Philippo iuncta Maria viro.]

At which time an herald tooke downe the armes of England at Windsore, and in the place of them would haue set the armes of Spaine, but he was commanded to set them vp againe by certeine lords.A generall hunting. The seuenth of August was made a generall hunting with a toile raised of foure or fiue miles in length, so that manie a déere that day was brought to the quarrie. The eleuenth of August they remooued to Richmond, and from thence the 27 of the same moneth they came by water to London, landing at the bishop of Winche|sters house, through which they passed both to South|worke parke, and so to Suffolke place,The king and quéene come through Lon|don to West|minster. where they lodged that night: and the next daie being saturdaie and the nineteenth of August, they being accompa|nied with a great number of nobles and gentlemen, rode from thence ouer the bridge, and passed through London vnto Westminster.

¶Now as the king came to London bridge, Abr. Fl. ex Ioh. Foxi martyrologi [...]. Uaine page|ants of Lon|don. & as he entred at the drawbridge, was a vaine great specta|cle set vp, two images representing two giants, one named Corineus, and the other Gogmagog holding betweene them certeine Latine verses, which for the vaine ostentation of flatterie I ouerpasse. And as they passed ouer the bridge, there was a number of EEBO page image 1121 ordinance shot at the tower, such as by old mens re|port the like hath not béene heard or séene these hun|dred yéeres. From London bridge they passed to the conduit in Gratious stréet, which was finelie painted, and among other things, the nine worthies, whereof king Henrie the eight was one.

But herevpon was no small matter made, for the bishop of Winchester lord chancellor, sent for the painter, and not onelie called him knaue for painting a booke in king Henries hand, and spe|ciallie for writing therevpon Verbum Dei: The painter sent for to the bishop of Win|chester. but also ranke traitor & villen, saieng to him that he should rather haue put the booke into the quéenes hand (who was also painted there) for that she had reformed the church and religion, with other things according to the pure and sincere word of God indéed. The painter answered and said,The painters answer. that if he had knowne that that had beene the matter wherefore his lordship sent for him, he could haue remedied it, and not haue trou|bled his lordship.
