Of stran|gers that liued and died here in this kings daies, ex|cellentlie learned, and renowmed for such treatises as they published to the world, Martine Bucer and Paulus Fagius are most famous. To end now with this part of the booke concerning king Ed|ward, I haue thought good to set downe Ierom Car|dans verses, written as an epitaph of him (and recor|ded by master Fox in his historie) as here followeth:

Flete nefas magnum, sed toto flebilis orbe
Mortales, vester corruit omnis honor.Carmen [...] in obitum regi [...] Ed [...]ardi
Nam regum decus, & iuuenum flos, spésque bonorum,
Deliciae secli, & gloria gentis erat.
Dignus Apollineis lachrymis, doctaeque Minerua:
Flosculus heu miserè concidit ante diem.
Te cumulo dabimus musa, supremáque flentes
Munera, Melpomene tristia fata canet.

Thus farre the good and vertuous yoong prince Edward the sixt, successor to Henrie the eight of most famous memorie.

Whervpon he riding into the mar|ket place with the maior, and the lord marques of Northampton, made the proclamation himselfe, and threw vp his cap in token of ioy. Abr. Fl. ex I.S. pag. 1064. ¶ Within an houre after he had letters from the councell (as he said) that he should forthwith dismisse his armie, and not come within ten miles of London: for if he did, they would fight with him, the rumor whereof was no sooner abroad, but euerie man departed. And shortlie after, the duke was arrested in the kings college by one maister Sleg sargeant at arms.

Wherevpon the duke said to them that kept him; Ye doo me wrong to withdraw my libertie, sée you not the councels letters without exception, that all men should go whither they would?
