¶ Here (by the way) would be noted the vna [...]i|sed speech of William Rufus to the shipmaister,Looke in page 23. columne 2. against the number 60. whome he emboldened with a vaine and desperat persuasion in tempestuous weather and high seas to hoise vp sailes; adding (for further encouragement) that he neuer heard of any king that was drowned. In which words (no doubt) he sinned presumptuous|lie against God, who in due time punished that of|fense of his in his pos [...]eritie and kinred, euen by the same element, whose fearsenes he himselfe séemed so little to regard, as if he would haue commanded the stormes to cease; as we read Christ did in the gospell by the vertue and power of his word. Here is also to be noted the variablenes of fortune (as we com|monlie call it) or rather the vncerteine and change|able euent of things, which oftentimes dooth raise vp (euen in the minds of princes) troblesome thoughts, and gréeuous passions, to the great empairing of their quietnesse: as here we sée exemplified in king Henrie, whose mirth was turned into mone, and his pleasures rellished with pangs of pensifenes, con|trarie to his expectation when he was in the midst of his triumph at his returne out of France into England. So that we see the old adage verified, Miscentur tristia Laetis; and that saieng of an old poet iustified;
Saeua nouerca dies nunc est, nunc ma [...]er amica. Hesiod. in lib. cui [...]i [...]. opera & dies.

The archbishop Thur|stan (after the manner of obteining suites in the court of Rome) found such fauour at the hands of pope Calixt,The pope wri|teth to king Henrie, in fa|uour of the archbishop Thurstan, & accurseth him with the archbishop of Canturburie. that he directed his letters as well to king Henrie, as to Rafe archbishop of Canturbu|rie, by vertue whereof he accursed them both, and in|terdicted as well the prouince of Yorke as Cantur|burie from the vse of all maner of sacraments; from baptisme of infants, the penance of them that died onelie excepted: if archbishop Thurstan were not suffered (within one moneth next after the receipt of those letters) to inioy his see, without compelling him to make any promise of subiection at all.
