[1] Anno Reg. 1. 1483 _T This that is here be|twéene this marke & this marke (*) was not written by maister More in this historie writ|ten by him in English, but is translated out of this hi|storie which he wrote in Latine. He next daie the protec|tor with a great traine went to Westminster hall, & there when he had placed himselfe in the court of the Kings bench, declared to the audi|ence, that he would take vpon him the crowne in that place there, where the king himselfe sitteth and ministreth the law, bicause he considered that it was the chiefest dutie of a king to minister the lawes. Then with as pleasant an oration as he could, he went about to win vnto him the nobles, the merchants, the artifi|cers, and in conclusion all kind of men, but especial|lie the lawiers of this realme. And finallie, to the in|tent that no man should hate him for feare, and that his deceitfull clemencie might get him the good will of the people, when he had declared the discommodi|ties of discord, & the cõmodities of concord & vnitie, he made an open proclamation, that he did put out of his mind all enimities, and that he there did open|lie pardon all offenses committed against him.
