Abr. Fl. ex ma|nuscripto Hen. Tennant. The death of sir Thomas Cheinie lord Warden of the cinque ports.¶On thursdaie betwéene two and thrée in the mor|ning the eight of December 1558 in the first yeare of our souereigne ladie quéene Elisabeths reigne di|ed in the tower of London, that honorable man sir Thomas Cheineie knight of the order, treasuror of hir maiesties most honorable houshold, warden of the cinque ports, & of hir highnesse priuie councell, whose pulses (by the report of his surgeon) laboured more than thrée quarters of an houre after his death, so stronglie as though life had not béene absent from the bodie. By the report also of the same surgeon, he had the swéetest face of death to behold for one of his yeares that euer he saw, and died so quietlie and pa|tientlie, that neither his face, mouth, eies, hands, or féet were vncomelie vsed in the changing of this his life.

His horsse for seruice which proued him to be a louer of chiualrie.For twentie yeares before his departure, he kept in his stable continuallie winter and summer twen|tie great horsse at the least, and eight or nine gel|dings, besides sixtéene or seuentéene geldings which were kept at grasse, and had in a readinesse furniture for them all to serue in the field: and no one of the same horsse or geldings but he was able and readie for anie man at armes to serue vpon. Beside this he kept so bountifull a house, and was so liberall and good to his men,The like is reported of cardinall Wolseie when he was in the floure of his prosperitie. that well was that noble mans son, gentlemans sonne, or other that might happen to be preferred into his seruice. And againe, the number of his seruants to whom he gaue liueries were 205, wherof in houshold were six score, besides strangers that were dailie comming and going. And his ser|uants had no iust cause, either for lacke of great wa|ges trulie paid them euerie quarter, and boordwages euerie sundaie, or plentie of meat and drinke, & lodg|ing on good featherbeds to liue out of order. And such commoditie as might by chance fall within the iuris|diction of his office of wardenrie,But how ma|nie be there now that will giue away the profits of their office to their seruants? being a thing fit for his men, he neuer turned the same to his owne vse; but alwaies gaue it them. Whether this realme hath not lost a worthie subiect, and speciallie his men a good maister, let all men iudge that knew him.
