Compare 1577 edition: 1 He was of a seemelie stature, of bodie slender, to which proportion all other members were answer|able; his face beautifull, wherein continuallie was resident the bountie of mind with the which he was inwardlie indued. Of his owne naturall inclinati|on he abhorred all the vices as well of the bodie as of the soule. His patience was such, that of all the in|iuries to him doone (which were innumerable) he ne|uer asked vengeance, thinking that for such aduersi|tie as chanced to him, his sinnes should be forgot|ten and forgiuen. What losses soeuer happened vnto him, he neuer esteemed, nor made anie account ther|of; but if anie thing were doone, that might sound as an offense towards God, he sore lamented, and with great repentance sorowed for it.

But for that the canonizing of a king sée|med to be more costlie than for a bishop, the said king left off his sute in that behalfe; thinking better to saue his monie, than to purchase a new holie daie of saint Henrie with so great a price, Abr. Fl. ex I.S. pag. 730, 731, &c. remitting to God the iudgement of his will and intent. ¶But bicause princes princelie qualified, can not be too highlie praised, I will here record a collection of his com|mendable conditions, dooings, and saiengs, as I find them set downe to my hand, to his perpetuall re|nowme; and right worthie of imitation, not onelie of such as are singled out from among infinite thou|sands, to be magnified with roialtie; but also of pri|uat and meane men that conuerse and liue one with an other in the world.
