more vehementlye be stirred to the meditation hereof he caused to be grauen in tharchbishopes sâ—ale the manner off the last iudgement wheare Christ sitteh gloriusslye and with maiestye to iudge the quicke and the dead vtteringe this voyce full of coÌ„fort to his chosen come ye blissed c. and that other woefull voyce to the reprobate goe ye cursed Besides A man may theare see the images off the dead grauen comminge out off theare graues to iudgment And that he might signifye that men off his estate seeldome founde such counselers as would boldlye and freely tell theÌ„ off there duetye it happened by wise advise off the herauld that suche armes weare allotted hym as the vse for noble personages which both might expresse thancient armes of the stocke from whence he issued and might admonishe hym also off his honor and office in the church in that that starres weare added to his armes Whearunto Gualter Haddon Doctor of lawe a man off singular learninge and authoritye whome our most noble Queene Elizabeth appointed to be one off the Masters off the requestes and Mathew hym selfe hadd made hym chiefe Iudge off his prerogatiue court very finely alluded in these verses The Keyes of auncient parentes tokens are FroÌ„ soueraigne prince doth coÌ„e the tripell starr So vertue learninge power conspire best And sowe the pleasant seedes of quiet rest But yet the ioyes of life to ende do hast And man but dust before to dust shall wast Whearupon as he aknowledgeth the Keyes to perteyne vnto hym by the lawe off nature and inheritaunce as left hym off his fore fathers from whome he descended yett he thinketh them especiallye to agree with hym by reason off his spiriatuall function which is wiselie to open and shutt the Kingdome off heauen to the Christian congregation in the which meaninge the Keies weare deliuered vnto Peter and to all that execute that spirituall office in church of preachinge the gospell But whearas we see the keye thrise in his armes that hath respecte to Peters conuenaunt made with Christ vnder that worde feede thrise repeated Lastly the starres represent that off Danyell The learned shall shine as the brightnes off the firmament and they which instructe manie in the waye off righteousnes as starres for euer and euer As therfore the starres bringe him into the remembrauÌ„ce off his spirituall authoritie aÌ„d office soe also by the starr he learneth to remeÌ„ber what is required of him that by the purenes off his lighte he should shine to other and by the heauenly doctrine off the worde should bringe againe into the lighte the coÌ„gregation off Christ which nowe a greate while hath miserably lyen hidden and ouerwhelmed in grosse darknes by the traditions off men And that he might not altogither forgett himselfe as theye are wont to doe which are sett vpp aloft in the â—yest roomes off the worlde he was wonte to rubbe his minde with the memorye off that sentence that all fame aestimation honor all magistratshippes be theye off neuer so ample authoritye all titles and names howe glorious soeuer theye seeme in the eyes off men for a tyme yett att the last as the whole world it selfe and all brittle and transitorye thinges theye shall perishe and decaye And in this sorte reasoninge with him selfe he passed by all the entisâ—â—ents off the worlde nether stayed at them as att the rockes off the Syrenes Therfore agreinge vnto Paule that he hadd not heere an abidinge citye accordinge to his meaninge he sought that which was to come The which as it hath in it selfe the greatest certaintye and safetye soe this life is vnconstant and corruptible for as much as all fleshe is grasse and all the glorye off man is as the flouer off the grasse which quicklye is cutt downe and withereth In the which frayle and transitorye lyfe he was carried forward with a continuall desiere to profite the church off god for that he thoughte he coulde not bestowe his laboure better on anye thinge consideringe the place whâ—â—h he occupied theÌ„ in the busie searchi off the opinion off Doctores off his tyme and conferringe them with the writers off all ages Besides he was verie carefull and not without some charges to seeke out the monumeÌ„tes off foremer tymes to knowe the religion off thancient fatheres and those especiallye which were off the Englishe churche Therfore in seekinge vpp the cronicles off the Brittones and Inglishe SaxoÌ„s which laye hidden euery wheare contemned and buried in forgetfullnes and throwgh the ignoraunce off the Languages not wel vnderstanded his owen especially and his mens diligeÌ„ce wanted not And to the ende that these antiquities might last longe and be carefullye kept â— he caused them beinge broughte into one place to be well bounde and trymly couered Aâ—d yet not so contented he deuored to sett out in printe certaine off those aunciente monumentes whearoff he knew very fewe examples to be extante and which he thoughte woulde be most profitable for the posterytye to instructe them in the fay the and religion off the elders Heere vpon he caused the perpetuall histories off the inglishe affaires by Mathaeus Parisâ—ensis once a Monke off Sainte Aâ—banes and Mathaeus Florilegus a Monke off Sainte Peters in westminster written in latin to be printed after he had diligentlie conferred them with thexamples â–ª which he coulde gett in anye place to the ende that as sincerelye as might be as thauthors first left them he mighte deliuer them into mens handes Lastlye that he mighte not be vnmindfull off those monumentes which both in antiquitye worthines and authoritye excelled all other or rather wheare with none are to be compared I meane the holy scriptures heere be thougthe to doe great good if by his nuÌ„ber he increased the holye Bibles which shortli woulde be wantinge vnto manye Churches â—ff this discommoditye weare not prouided for in tyme Therfore it seemed good vnto him first with his learned seruantes to examine thorowghlye thinglishe translation whearin he partlye vsed the helpe off his bretheren Bishoppes and other Doctores with whome he delte so diligentlye in this matter that theye disdained not to be parteners and fellowes with him off his laboure And nowe all there worke is sett out in verye fayer formes and letters off printe and that not without greate frute we hope to all them which desier accordinge to the prescripte worde off God to worshippe God to yelde there dutifull obedience to there Prince and to profit there contrye to there pouer and lastlye to all those that by the mercye off God in Christe doe thirste for the health off there soules and the inioyinge off the life to come But it happened vnto him when he sawe the happye finishinge and ende of the foresaied worcke that he was soe affected in minde as that holy man Simeon off whome Luke theuangeliste maketh mention Thefore in the same sorte as he he spake within himselfe Nowe letest thou thy seruaunt o Lorde

off lordes as gentilmen with an infinite troup of others to celebrate and honor that feast with ther preseÌ„ce At which feast in his predecessors times certeine dukes and earles were high stewardes by custome receivinge an yeerly pension and a reward â—it for so great personages as off late the duke off BukinghaÌ„ in the inthronization off william warham Archbishopp in the yeere off our lord 1504. The which solemnitie though the foresaid Mathew vsed not at his entraunce to the Archbishoprik as also did not Reginald Pole Cardinall his next predecessor and some other off thos that were before him partly because they were not able partly for that the reuenues off the Archbishoprick were muche diminished yf comparison be made with the former tymes yet remembring that his forefathers in buildinge a place so large and stately had no other respect or consideration but feastinge and hospitalitie he deuiseth by him selfe by what meanes he might best enterteine with this kind off curtesie in sumptuous feasting a multitude sufficient for that place both of the communalty and off the great estates off Kent For this purpose therfore he taketh the oportunity off time in this sort In the yeere off Christ 1565. which was the next yeere after the restoringe off the hall he prepared a feast very magnifically and sumptuoussly wher vnto when they flocked from euery place in great companies he placed them al at diuerse tables through out the hall which was garnished with tapistery and other thinges very comely and beautifull brought out off flaunders and Holland and because he wold want no guestes he prouided that the iudges wich by an vsual terme are called in that place Iorneyinge and then only at Canterbury and no wher els kept ther iudiciall sessions sshould repaire thither At the which time also he badd al them to this feast which were gathered togither out off the whole prouince for the triall of the law aswell gentilmen as meane persones At that tyme ther sate as iudges mayster Iohn Southcotes one off thos iudges whose authoritie is to heare mens pleas and controuersies in the common place and Gilbert Gerard esquier generall attorney off the Queenes highnes which togither with Tho Kemp Knight that yeere Sheriffe and with all ther traine were present at the feast off the Archbishop which feast howe bouÌ„tifull it was in daintiekates how well and orderly all thiÌ„ges were serued by the Archbishops howshold how well this his curtesie was accepted how ofteÌ„tymes the tables in the hall were freshly furnished with new guestes the saÌ„e day I coueâ—ing to be short will not here declare but I leaue it to the memorie off thos which then were preseÌ„t out off the whole coÌ„ntrye And this curtesie in feasting was not at that time only shewed by that occasioÌ„ but before also he vsed in the same hall the like solemnitye at other tymes partly at whitsontide the Archbishopp him selfe both preaching and celebratinge the holy communion first in the cathedrall church at which time the prebendaries off the church and the Maior off the citye with his brethren and others inferior citizens togither with many gentilmen off that contrie bringing him home dined in the same hall the places being so ordered that the Archbishopp sate in the middest off the high table on his left hand the maior and all the other men as euery man excelled in dignitie and countenaunce and so on one side off the hall a continuall rowe of meÌ„ followed to other tables sett in order and seuered by a litle space betwene through out the lenght off the hall On his right hand sate onely some noble women and the honorable wiues off other men leading froÌ„ euery side off his table a course and right line of woomen through owt the length off the hall altogither like and correspondent to that rowe off men wheroff we spake before The which order off placing was obserued in honor of the QueeÌ„es highnes for that vnder hir being gouernor of the realme the said Mathew obteined his place And this first furnishing off tables thus ended ther were others partly off the Arschhishops familie partly off the couÌ„try ther about which strait way satte downe in their places which rose in the same order as before And this manner off feasting coÌ„tinued by the space of two daies naÌ„ely moÌ„day aÌ„d tewesdai Besides this the daye off the bolye and inseparable Trinitye folowiÌ„g for â—e thougt that that daye ougt especally to be soleÌ„nlye cebrated for the famous memorye off king Henrye theyght who was the laste restorer off the churche and an excellent reformer off euill ceremones and customes he spent in the like curtesye off entertayning off guests the accustomed praiers in the cathedrall church being firste finished At which tyme one off the chiefe ministers off the church made a sermon and Mathew tharchbishoppe himselfe was minister off the blessed communion and supper off our Lorde vnto the people standing in the vpper ende or corner off the churche The administration off which comfortable banquett after he had ended he went home accompanied with the whole number and congregation off the cathedrall churche which sate downe to the festiuall dinner the said hall and in the same manner as before with other chiefe menne both off the citye and countrye Againe the three and twentith day off Iuly folowinge was the day off assize and publik meetinges off the Iudges and other off the prouince ether to vnderstande mens causes or to punishe manifeste offenders as wee haue before declared the said hall was likewise replenished only excepted that the guests weare only gentlemen and off the beste off the woomen being placed at very exquisite fare within the inner parlors But amongest thinges whiche happened vnto him in his life worthi off memorye I reioyce especially for this his felicitie that wheras after Augustine the fyrste Archbishoppe he was the seuentith yet he was both the firste and only man that attayned vnto tharchbishoplike dignitie with out any blemishe or spott off olde wiues superstitions and vnprofytable cerimonies off the Romishe Pope for as euery one off them entred firste herunto by buils off approbation sent from the Pope so he was consecrated nether with these nor any other olde and idell ceremonies off Aarons ornameÌ„tes nether with gloues nor sandales nor sslippers nor miter nor pall but more chastely and religioussly according to the puritie off the gospelie fowre bishoppes beinge appointed accordinge to a lawe made in that behalfe whyche placed him in his chaire with so godly promisses protested by him as it is meete shoulde of a gospellike pastor And yet this his that I may so tearme it ioyfull and solempne daye he spent not negligentlye but with garments coÌ„ly for a bishoppe with godly praiers off thecclesiasticall ministers and peopell vnto whome a sermoÌ„ was made by a learned religious and a professed bishoppe in diuinitie chiefly to admonishe the pastor of his dewtie and

faythfullnes toward his flocke and coÌ„trarywise the flocke off loue obedience and reuereÌ„ce whiche they ougthe to yelde to their pastor The sermoÌ„ ended when the companie preseÌ„te had refreshed theÌ„selues by partakinge the spirituall baÌ„quett they make an ende with earneste praiers vnto god that that functioÌ„ whiche was laide on him by the clergie migthe chiefly tende to the glory of god to the saluation of Christian flocke and the ioyfull testimonie off his owne conscience by faithfull executinge of his office when yt shall happen him to departe vnto his lorde to whome he vowed hym selfe And the very same solempnitie and maÌ„ner of consecration he vsed toward his bretherne bishoppes vppon whome afterward he laide his hande of the which this is not to be let sslipped by that wheare wee reade in histories that soÌ„e one off his predecessors hath coÌ„secrated vnto god in one yeare 5.3 or 4. bretherne or at the moste 6. which theÌ„ was thougt very strange to him it chaunsed that in the first yeare off his gouernmeÌ„t he consecrated 11. he coÌ„firmed 2. aÌ„d the 2. yeares followiÌ„ge he placed in their seas the whole number of the bishops off EngelaÌ„d saue only the bishoppe of LaÌ„doffe namelye the first yere he placed bishope in London sea Edmond Gryndall in Elye Richard Cockes in worcester Edwine Sandes in Bangor Rouland Meriâ—k in Lincolne Nycolas BullinghaÌ„ in Salisburye Iohn Ieuell in S. Dauides Thomas younge in S. Asaph Richard Dauid in Rochester Edmond Gest in Bathe and weâ—les Gilbert Barkley at Lichfeld and Couentree Iohn Benram And in the same yeare he confirmed william Barlowe somtimes bishope of Bathe and welles in chichester and Iohn Scorie before bispope off chichester in Herforde And in the second yere next follownge he created william Alley bishope off Exceter Iohn Parkhurst off Norwich Robart Horne off winchester Edmund Scamler off Peterboroughe Thomas Dauid off Saint Asaphe and Richard Cheyney off Glocester Besides that the same yere he confirmed Archbishoppe off york Thomas younge transslated from Saint Dauides and confirmed allso Thomas Dauid bishope off Sainte Dauides translated from Sainte Asaphe And in the yere off our Lorde 1564. when Antonie bishoppe off Landoffe died who only remained in his sea and agreed to the religion whearas thother bishopes created in the time off Queen Marie withelde ther consent from the Religion established in the generall assemblie off all estates and orders whearat they weare preseÌ„t in the which asseÌ„blye this lawe was made that who so refused to professe the receyued Religion should be depriued off their authoritie offices and promotions as obstinat in the number off whome as their weare many off the eccesiasticall order so wear ther as many which retained their dignities and places professing with vs the restored religion by A publik othe ministred vnto them in the rome off him being deade he consecrated in the yere of oure Lorde 1565. Hughe Dauides Doctor off Lawe And in the yere 1566. he consecrated Nicolas Robinson Doctor off diuinitie into the bishoprike off Bangor and in the yere 1567. he confirmed Henry Curwin Doctor off Lawe in the bishoprike off Oxforde The which pastores and fathers althoughe diuersslye professed in the Scoles off vniuersities yet all weare so well learned that they knewe howe to distribute the liuely worde off the scriptures to the people off God with due respecte off tyme place and persone the whiche euery one off them very often or rather continually doth in the cures committed vnto them the testimonie wheroff But that wee maye speake sumwhate off his manners and life off whom wee presently entreat I can saye thus muche that he was so thriftye an husbande by that frugall waye whiche he toke in disposing the yeerely reuenues off tharchbishopricke that by his prudeÌ„t sparinge the rentes suffized for those great charges which he was at by reason off his firste frutes and subsidies paide vnto the Queene and other necessarie expenses whiche he laied out in the begininge off his gouermente for the prouision of housholde stuffe and inplementes and by reason off hospitalitie And yet he so liberally ordered the fruites which he reaped and receiued off his Archiepiscopall dignitie that withwhome soeuer he delâ—e in byinge necessarie thinges for the vse off his familie ether wecklye he â—eÌ„dered their money vnto them or at the moste he differred it not to the end off three monethes so that neuer any man sâ—ed him for debte And it semeth that his greatest care thorowe ought his whole life was that in euery estate off life he might liue from day to day withe A good testimonie off conscience before god and out off the debte off euerye man the which he especially abhorred whearin he wisely considered bothe the sshortnes off maÌ„s life and the profitte off his creditors who he was vnwilliÌ„ge shoulde suffer any losse for his sake for that they trusted him so frendly for all the furniture off his howse which losse perchaunce should haue happened vnto them iff for the moste parte off those thinges which he boughte off them he had not paide them their monye before his death He therfore leadinge his liffe so vpprightlye and in differentlye althoughe by reason off the possessions off his landes diminished he coulde not benefitt his seruants with any great prefermentes or rewardes yet their are very fewe amoÌ„gest them on whome he hath not bestowed sumwhat that maye succor ther necessities Which yff yt weare all together gathered in one sume it woulde come to no smale deale considering the shorte tyme off his administration Besides that all thinges are so deare that the stipend which he yerely geueth to his seruantes is greater then off any his predecessors He allso often tymes bestoweth on them more then couenaunt especially to his needye seruantes in whome he hathe perceiued honestie diligence and trustines in his affaires By which wise gouernmente he semed vnto me to remember the mortalitie off man the inconstancie both of life and death which often tymes taketh A man a waye vnawares and to be myndfull allso to lessen and diminishe his charges so that if he had longer to liue he might haue whearwith to mayntayne his greate costes and expenses And it cannot be otherwise but that this was his minde and meaning because that off all the sentences off the scripture he especially chose that one out off Iohn thapostel the which as he oftentymes vsed in his daylye talke so he caused it to be writen on the walles of his house and the glasse off his windowes the worlde passeth and the concupiscence theroff whearby he was wonte to call into his minde the brittlenes off mans life and the vanitie theroff learninge therby to repose his trust vpon God alone and wholly to applye hymselfe to his will commaundement that when he should giue an accompt off his stewardshippe God might not finde hym vnprouided nor seâ—t vpon hym vnarmed And to the end that his mynde might
