A commandemeent preiudiciall to his maister, as the ignorance of the seruant was the instrument in the euill that happened both to the father and son. Such is the sufferance of God, who in the execution of his iudgements raiseth one murtherer to kill ano|ther, & breaketh the brands of the fire vpon the head of him that first kindled it: for the pope comming by aduenture somewhat before supper, and ouercome with the drought and immoderate heat of the time, called for drinke. And bicause his owne prouision was not yet brought from the palace, [...]xpope [...] with the [...] that his [...] son had [...] poison [...] cardinall [...] Cornette. he that had the infected wine in charge, thinking it to be recommen|ded to his keeping for a wine most excellent, gaue the pope to drinke of the same wine which Ualentinois had sent; who arriuing while his father was drinking drunke also of the same wine, being but iust that they both should tast of the same cup which they had brued for the destruction of others. All the towne of Rome ran with great gladnesse to saint Peters about the dead bodie of the pope, their eies not satisfied to sée ded and destroied a serpent, who with his immode|rate ambition and poisoned infidelitie, togither with all the horrible examples of crueltie, luxurie, and monstruous couetousnesse, selling without distincti|on both holie things and prophane things, had infec|ted the whole world.
And yet was he accompanied with a most rare, & almost perpetuall prosperitie euen from his yoong age, to the end of his life; desiring alwaies great things, and obteining most often that he desired. An example of much importance, to confound the arro|gancie of those men, who presuming to know and sée perfectlie with humane eies the depth of Gods iudge|ments doo assure, that what happeneth either good or ill to mortall men, procéedeth either of their merits or faults: as though we saw not dailie manie good men vniustlie tormented, & wicked persons aboue their deseruings liue in case and honour: wherein who makes an other interpretation, derogates the iustice and power of God, the greatnesse of which be|ing not to be conteined within any scripts or tearms present, knoweth how well and largely to discerne in an other time and place the iust from the vniust, and that with rewards and eternall punishments. In the meane time he powreth out his vengeance vpon the imaginers of mischéefe in this life; so prouiding, as that they are caught in their owne snares, and ouer|taken with such destruction as they had prepared for others, according to that saieng of the Psalmist:
Effodit puteum, foueámque eduxit ab imo,E [...]b. H [...]ss. & G Buch. in Psal. 7.Et miser in latebras incidit ipse suas.In verticem ipsius recurritPernicies, recidúntque fraudes.]

Soone after, the king caused Guidebald duke of Urbine to be elected knight of the order of the garter, Anno Reg 23. Guidebald duke of Ur|bin in Italie made knight of the garter. in like maner as his father duke Frede|rike had béene before him, which was chosen and ad|mitted into the order by king Edward the fourth. Sir Gilbert Talbot, and the other two ambassadors being appointed to kéepe on their iournie vnto pope Iulie the second, elected after the death of the said Pius the third, bare the habit and collar also vnto the said duke Guidebald; which after he had receiued the same, sent sir Balthasar Castalio, knight, a Man|trian borne, as his orator vnto king Henrie, which was for him installed, according to the ordinances of the order.
