[1] Prior Iehan also laie still in Blanke sable baie, and plucked his gallies to the shore, setting his basi|liskes and other ordinance in the mouth of the baie, which baie was bulworked on euerie side, that by water it was not possible to be woone. The lord ad|merall perceiuing the French nauie thus to lie in feare,The lord ad|merall would haue the king present in per|son at the en|counter, and is rebuked. wrote to the king to come thither in person, and to haue the honour of so high an enterprise: which writing the kings councell nothing allowed, for put|ting the king in ieopardie vpon the chance of the sea. Wherefore the king wrote to him sharplie againe, commanding him to accomplish that which appertei|ned to his duetie: which caused him to aduenture things further than wisedome would he should (as after yée shall heare) to his vtter vndooing and ca|sting awaie, God hauing ordeined the means by his prouidence, which the pagans implied (though wan|ting the light of grace) in the name of destinie, of them counted ineuitable. Guic. pag 32 [...] [A destinie lamentable considering the qualitie of the person, with the ma|ner of his dieng. Wherein although manie vainlie dispute, that fortune led him to so miserable an acci|dent: yet if we will lift vp our considerations to God, we shall find that he hath reserued such a prero|gatiue ouer all things which he hath created, that to him onelie belongeth the authoritie to dispose all things by the same power wherewith he hath created them of nothing.] And yet the foolish world (doting in blind ignorance, but pretending a singular in|sight in matters of secrecie) blusheth not to talke or rather to asseuere, casualtie, chancemedlie, misfor|tune, and such like foolish imaginations: whereas (in|déed) the prouidence of God compasseth all things whatsoeuer, for nothing can be priuileged from the amplenesse of the same.
