Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 This death (as a reward) the duke of Bucking|ham receiued at the hands of king Richard, whom he before in his affaires, purposes and enterprises had holpen, susteined, and set forward, aboue all Gods forbode. By this all men may easilie perceiue, that he not onelie loseth both his labour, trauell, and indu|strie (and further staineth and spotteth his line with a perpetuall ignominie and reproch) which in euill and mischiefe assisteth and aideth an euill disposed person, considering for the most part, that he for his freendlie fauour should receiue some great displeasure or im|portunate chance. Beside that, God of his iustice in conclusion appointed to him a condigne paine and affliction for his merits and deserts. [Auailable therefore, and for his best aduantage had it béene, to haue followed the wise counsell of him, that willed him, and such as he, to kéepe them from the man that hath power to slaie; so shalt thou doubt (saith he) the feare of death. And if thou come vnto him make no fault, least he take awaie thy life: remember that thou goest in the middest of snares, & that thou wal|kest vpon the towers of the citie. Which aduise a lear|ned man, in good place, and necessarie seruice about the prince, neatlie comprised in these few veries:

Vtere principibus modicé,Gu. [...]la nimis esse propinquus

Si cupis, in vitae multa pericla rues.

Situa te fortuna facit seruire potenti,

Dispice ne titubes, atque repentè cadas,

Sollicicè vigiles, laquei sunt vndiquefusi,

Turribus in summis es situs, ergo caue.]

Henrie earle of Richmond prepared an armie of fiue thousand manlie Britons, and fortie well furnished ships. When all things were prepared in a readinesse, and the daie of departing and setting forward was appointed, which was the twelfe daie of the moneth of October, the whole armie went on shipbord, and halsed vp their sailes, and with a prospe|rous wind tooke the sea.

The ship wherein the earle of Richmond was, associat onelie with one other barke, was all night tossed and turmoiled.
