[Sidenote: November. Anxiety felt for the child's life.] [Sidenote: Regulations of the royal nursery.] These were the mere bubbles of credulity, blown by the general wind; but the interests which now depended upon the infant prince's life caused to grave persons grave anxiety. He was but one--a single life,--between the king's death and chaos, and the king was again a widower. The greater the importance of the child's preservation to one party, the greater the temptation to the other to destroy it; and the precautions with which the royal nursery was surrounded, betray most real alarm that an attempt might be ventured to make away with him. Instructions to the grand chamberlain were drawn, by some one in high authority, with more than the solemnity of an act of parliament. [Sidenote: Inasmuch as all good things have their opposing evil,] [Sidenote: The Prince it is likely lacks not adversaries.] "Like as there is nothing in this world so noble, just, and perfect, but that there is something contrary, that evermore envieth it, and procureth the destruction of the same, insomuch as God Himself hath the Devil repugnant to Him, Christ hath his Antichrist and persecutor, and from the highest to the lowest after such proportion, so the Prince's Grace, for all his nobility and innocency (albeit he never offended any one), yet by all likelihood he lacketh not envy nor adversaries against his Grace, who, either for ambition of their own promotion, or otherwise to fulfil their malicious perverse mind, would, perchance, if they saw opportunity, which God forbid, procure to his Grace displeasure. And although his Majesty doubteth not, but like as God for the comfort of this whole realm hath given the said prince, so of his providence He will preserve and defend him; yet, nevertheless, heed and caution ought to be taken, to avoid the evil enterprises which might be devised against his Grace, or danger of his person." [Sidenote: No person therefore to approach the cradle except the regular attendants. All food to be assayed.] [Sidenote: All clothes to be perfumed.] [Sidenote: No member of the household to approach London during the unhealthy season.]
