Compare 1577 edition: 1 On the foureteenth daie of March were conueied from London to Gréenwich by the earle of Rutland and others,Ambassadors from the king of Hungarie. the lord Gabliel de Salamanca earle of Ottonburgh, Iohn Burgraue of Siluerberge, and Iohn Faber a famous clearke, after bishop of Uien, as ambassadors from don Ferdinando, brother to the emperour, newlie elect king of Hungarie and Beame, after the death of his brother in law king Lewes, which was slaine by the Turke the last sum|mer, as you haue heard before. This companie was welcomed of the high officers, and after brought in|to the kings presence, all the nobilitie being present, and there after great reuerence made, master Fa|ber made a notable oration,An oration made by mai|ster Faber. taking his ground of the gospell, Exijt seminator seminare semen suum, and of that he declared how Christ and his disciples went foorth to sow, and how their seed was good that fell in|to the good ground, and brought foorth good fruit, which was the christian faith: and then he declared how contrarie to that sowing, Mahomet had sowne séed, which brought foorth euill fruit. He also shewed from the beginning, how the Turkes haue increased in power, what realmes they had conquered, what people they had subdued euen to that daie.

He declared further what acts the great Turke then liuing had doone, and in especiall he noted the getting of Belgrad, and of the Rhodes, and the slai|eng of the king of Hungarie, to the great rebuke (as he said) of all the kings christened. He set foorth also what power the Turke had, what diuersities of com|panies, what armor, what capteins he had, so that he thought, that without a maruellous great number of people he could not be ouerthrowne. Wherefore he most humblie besought the king, as S. Georges EEBO page image 895 knight, and defendor of the faith, to assist the king his master in that godlie warre and vertuous purpose. To this oration the K. by the mouth of sir Thomas Moore answered,The kings answer by the mouth of sir Thomas Moore. that much he lamented the losse that happened in Hungarie, and if it were not for the wars which were betweene the two great princes, he thought that the Turke would not haue enterprised that act. Wherefore he with all his studie would take paine, first, to set an vnitie and peace throughout all christendome; and after that, both with monie and men, he wold be redie to helpe toward that glorious warre, as much as any other prince in christendome. After this doone, the ambassadours were well cheri|shed, and diuerse times resorted to the court, and had great cheare and good rewards, and so the third daie of Maie next insuing, they tooke their leaue and de|parted homeward.
