This Pace was a right worthie man, and one that gaue in counsell EEBO page image 872 faithfull aduise. Learned he was also, and indued with many excellent good gifts of nature, courteous, pleasant, and delighting in musike, highlie in the kings fauour, and well heard in matters of weight. But the more the prince fauoured him, the more was he misliked of the cardinall, who sought onelie to beare all the rule himselfe, and to haue no partener; so that he procured that this doctor Pace vnder color of ambassage, should be sent foorth of the realme, that his presence about the king should not win him too much authoritie and fauour at the kings hands.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 Edw. Hall. Doctor Tun|stall made bi|shop of Lon|don.This yeare was a great death in London and o|ther places of the realme. Manie men of honour and great worship died, and amongest other, the bishop of London, doctor Fitz Iames, in whose place was doc|tor Tunstall elected. The earle of Surrie retur|ned out of Ireland, and came to the court the fiue and twentith of Ianuarie. Manie complaints were made by the merchants to the king and his councell of the Frenchmen, which spoiled them by sea of their goods. For by reason that the wars were open betwixt the emperour, and the French king, manie ships of warre were abroad on both parts, and now and then the Englishmen fell into their hands, and were vsed as enimies; namelie by the Frenchmen, which na|turallie hated the Englishmen. The French kings ambassadors promised restitution of euerie thing, but little was restored. In this moneth of Ianuarie therefore, the king commanded all his ships to be rigged, and made readie, which was doone with all diligence.

The title of Def [...]ndor of the [...]aith gi|uen [...] the [...] Eng|land and his successors for e [...]er.

I. S. pag. 930. King Henrie wrote against Luther.

Abr. Fl. ex adm. A.G. ad Ang. & Scot. ex [...]us. Gen. 1558. in fol. 69.

On the second daie of Februarie, the king as then being at Gréenewich, receiued a bull from the pope, whereby he was declared Defendor of the Christian faith & likewise his successors for euer. The cardinall of Yorke sang the high masse that daie with all the pompous solemnitie that might be, and gaue cleane r [...]mission of sinnes to all that heard it. This title was ascribed vnto the king, bicause he had written a booke against Luther in Germanie; wherevnto the said Luther answered verie sharpelie, nothing spa|ring his authoritie nor maiestie. ¶ Of which booke published by the king, I will not (for reuerence of his roiallic) though I durst, report what I haue read: bicause we are to iudge honourablie of our ru|lers, and to speake nothing but good of the princes of the people. Onelie this bréefe clause or fragment I will adde (least I might seeme to tell a tale of the man in the moone) that king Henrie in his said booke is reported to rage against the diuell and antichrist, to cast out his some against Luther, to rase out the name of the pope, and yet to allow his law, &c. I sup|presse the rest for shame, and returne to our historie.]
