Where|vpon most men were persuaded in their owne opini|on, that by this heauenlie voice he was prouided & or|deined long before to inioy & obteine this kingdome. Which thing K. Henrie the sixt did also shew before,Sée before in Edward the fourth, pag. 678. as it were by propheticall inspiration, at such time as the earle of Penbroke presented the said Henrie (at that time a proper child) vnto Henrie the sixt, whome after he had beheld, and a good while viewed the come|linesse of his countenance, and orderlie lineaments of his bodie, he said to such peeres as stood about him: Lo, suerlie this is he, to whome both we and our ad|uersaries, leauing the possession of all things, shall hereafter giue roome and place: & so it came to passe by the appointment of God, to whose gouernement, gift, and disposing, all realmes and all dominions are subiect, as king Dauid confesseth, saieng:
Omnia sunt regno subdita regna Dei.Gu. Ha. in psal. 103. ]
