Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 When all pacts and couenants betweene the kings of Englaend and Castile were appointed, concluded, and agreed; king Philip tooke his leaue of king Henrie, yeelding to him most heartie thanks for his high cheere and princelie interteinment. And being accompanied with diuers lords of England, he came to the citie of Excester, and so to Falmouth in Cornewall, and there taking ship sailed into Spaine, where shortelie after he died being thirtie yeares of age. He was of stature conuenient, of countenance amiable or bodie somewhat grosse, quicke witted, bold and hardie stomached. The tempest that he suffered on the sea was huge, and woonderfull also vpon the land, insomuch that the violence of the wind blew downe an eagle of brasse, being set to shew on which part the wind blew, from a pinacle or spire of Paules church, [...] and in the falling, the same eagle brake and battered an other eagle that was set vp for a signe at a tauerne doore in Cheapeside.

Examples in this booke be diuerse, among which one is verie memorable, mentioned in the thirtie & ninth yeare of Henrie the sixt. At what time the duke of Yorke making an oration to the lords of the parle|ment, for the iustifieng of his title to the crowne,Sée pag. 657. it chanced that a crowne which hoong in the middle of the nether house (to garnish a branch to set lights vp|on) without touch of man or blast of wind suddenlie fell downe. About which season also fell downe the crowne which stood on the top of Douer castell. Which things were construed to be signes that the crowne of the realme should some waie haue a fall; and so it came to passe.

And bicause the euents of these foreshewes had their truth, as manie more of the like nature; it shall not be amisse here to ad (by waie of digression) what hath béene obserued in former ages by forren writers in and about such foretokens.
