Ia. Meir. and slaine by one Thomas Denise (as some write.) But other affirme, that on a sundaie in the after noone, being the 17 of Iulie, a cob|ler, whose father this Iaques van Arteueld had some|time slaine, followed him, as he was fléeing into a stable where his horsses stood, & there with an ax cloue his head asunder, so that he fell downe starke dead on the ground.Iacob van Arteueld slaine. And this was the end of the foresaid Iaques van Arteueld, who by his wisedome and poli|cie had obteined the whole gouernment of all Flan|ders. This wofull end was allotted vnto him by destinie, whose decrée nothing is able by any shift to auoid, as is notablie said of the poet in this distichon;
