[1] Thus the French king vsed to dallie with king Edward in the case of this mariage, onelie to kéepe him still in amitie.The French king féedeth the king of England with faire words and promises. And certeinelie the king of Eng|land, being a man of no suspicious nature, thought sooner that the sunne should haue fallen from his cir|cle, than that the French king would haue dissem|bled or broken promise with him. But there is none so soone beguiled, as he that least mistrusteth; nor a|nie so able to deceiue, as he to whome most credence is giuen. But as in mistrusting nothing, is great lightnesse; so in too much trusting, is too much follie: which well appeared in this matter. For the French king, by cloking his inward determinate purpose with great dissimulation and large promises, kept him still in fréendship with the king of England, till he had wrought a great part of his will against the yoong duchesse of Burgognie. Which king Edward would not haue suffered, if he had put anie great doubt in the French kings faire promises, conside|ring that the crowne of France was in this meane time so much increased in dominions, to the great re|enforcement of that realme.
