Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 ¶Thus ended this yoong king in his floorishing youth, to whome through his owne iust deserts long life was iustlie denied, sith he delighted to begin his gouernement with vnlawfull attempts, as an other Absolon against his owne naturall father, seeking by wrongfull violence to pull the scepter out of his hand. He is not put in the number of kings, bicause he remained for the more part vnder the gouernance of his father, so that he rather bare the name of king as appointed to reigne, than that he may be said to haue reigned in deed. So that héere by the waie a no|table obseruation dooth occurre and offer it selfe to be noted of vs; namelie, that euen princes children, though borne to great excellencie, and in high deg [...]e [...] of dignitie, a [...]e to consider with themselues, that not|withstanding their statelie titles of souereigntie, they haue a dutie to discharge vnto their parents, which if it be neglected, and that in place thereof diso|bedience is substituted, God himselfe (when politike lawes prouide not to punish such offenses) will take the cause in hand, & will powre vengeance vpon such vngratious children. For he will be true of his word both in blessing and curssing, in blessing the dutifull child with long life and happie daies, and in curssing the obstinate and froward with short life and vnfor|tunate daies, according to the tenure of his law. If this man had liued in the old Romans time, when a|ged persons were so reuerenced and honoured (much more parents) he had beene cut off in the prime of his disobedience, and present death had beene inflicted vp|on him as a due and deserued reward; which Iuuenal noteth excellentlie well in these words,
Credebant hoc grande nefas, & morte piandum,Si iuuenis vetulo non assurrexerat,Iuuen. sa [...]. 13. & siBarbato cuicun puer, licèt ipse videretPlura domi farra, & maioris glandis aceruos,Tam venerabile erat praecẽdere quattuor annis,Primá par adeò sacrae lanugo senectae.
Compare 1577 edition: 1 King Henrie (after his sonne the king was thus dead) inforced his power more earnestlie than be|fore to winne the citie and castell of Limoges which he had besieged,Limoges ren|dred to king Henrie. and at length had them both surren|dered into his hands, with all other castels and places of strength kept by his enimies in those parts, of the which some he furnished with garisons, and some he caused to be laied flat with the ground.
Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 4 5 There rose about the same time occasion of strife and variance betwixt king Henrie and the French king, about the enioieng of the countrie lieng vpon Gisors, called Ueulquesine, on this side the riuer of Hept, which was giuen vnto king Henrie the sonne,Ueulquesine. in consideration of the marriage betwixt him and queene Margaret the French kings sister. For the French king now after the death of his brother in law king Henrie the sonne, required to haue the same restored vnto the crowne of France: but king Henrie was not willing to part with it.The kings of England and France talke togither. At length they met betwixt Trie and Gisors to talke of the matter, where they agréed that quéene Margaret the widow of the late deceased king Henrie the son, should receiue yearelie during hir life 1750 pounds of Aniouin monie at Paris, of king Henrie the fa|ther and his heires; in consideration whereof she should release and quit claime all hir right to those lands that were demanded, as Ueulquesine and o|thers. Shortlie after, Geffrey erle of Britaine came to his father, and submitting himselfe, was reconci|led to him, and also to his brother Richard earle of Poictow. Anno Reg. 30 Also I find that king Henrie at an enter|uiew had betwixt him and the French king at their accustomed place of meeting betwixt Trie and Gi|sors on saint Nicholas day, did his homage to the same French king for the lands which he held of him on that side the sea, which to doo till then he had refu|sed. The same yeare king Henrie held his Christmas at the citie of Mauns.
