And yet was he accompanied with a most rare, & almost perpetuall
prosperitie euen from his yoong age, to the end of his life; desiring
alwaies great things, and obtaining most often that he desired. An
example of much importance, to confound the arrogancie of those men,
who presuming to know and sée perfectlie with humane eies the depth
of Gods iudgemehts, doo assure, that what happeneth either good or
ill to mortall men, procéedeth either of their merits or faults: as
though we saw not dailie manie good men vniustlie tormented, & wicked
persons aboue their diseruings liue in ease and honour: wherein who
makes an other interpretation, derogates the iustice and power of
God, the greatnesse of which being not to be conteined within any
scripts or tearms present, knoweth how well and largely to discerne
in an other time and place the iust from the vniust, and that with
rewards and eternall punishments. In the meane time he powreth out his
vengeance vpon the imaginers of mischéefe in this life; so prouiding,
as that they are caught in their owne snares, and ouertaken with such
destruction as they had prepared for others, according to that saieng
of the Psalmist:
[Sidenote: _Rob. Hess. & G. Buch. in Psal. 7._]
Effodit puteum, foueámque eduxit ab imo,
Et miser in latebras incidit ipse suas.
In verticem ipsius recurrit
Pernicies, recidúntque fraudes.]
[Sidenote: The lord Daubenie dieth.]
[Sidenote: An. Reg. 23.]
[Sidenote: Guidebald duke of Urbine in Italie made knight of the
garter.]
At the same time died Giles lord Daubeneie the kings chéefe
chamberleine, whose office Charles, bastard sonne to Henrie last
duke of Summerset occupied and enioied; a man of good wit, and great
experience. Soone after, the king caused Guidebald duke of Urbine to be
elected knight of the order of the garter, in like maner as his father
duke Frederike had béene before him, which was chosen and admitted into
the order by king Edward the fourth. Sir Gilbert Talbot, and the other
two ambassadors being appointed to kéepe on their iournie vnto pope
Iulie the second, elected after the death of the said Pius the third,
bare the habit and collar also vnto the said duke Guidebald; which
after he had receiued the same, sent sir Balshasar Castalio, knight,
a Mantuan borne, as his orator vnto king Henrie, which was for him
installed, according to the ordinances of the order.
[Sidenote: Thomas Sauage archbishop of Canturburie deceassed.]
