passed the Approbation of both Houses of Parliament 13. The Book being finished and subscribed it w●s with all due ●everence humbly presented to the ●ing by whom it was received to his great Comfort and Quietnesse of mind as the Statute telleth us and being by him commended to the Lords and Commons then assembled in Parliament They did not only give his Highnesse most hearty and lowly Thanks for his Care therein but on perusal thereof declared it to be done by the aid of the Holy Ghost and thereupon it was enacted That all Ministers in the Kings Dominions should say Common and open prayer in such order and form as is mentioned in the same Book and no otherwise 14. The raign of this Young King was indeed remarkable for the progresse of the Reformation but otherwise tumultuous in it self and defamed by Sacrilege and so distracted into sides and factions that in the end the King himself became a prey to the strongest party 15. The Physicians that attended him on his death bed whispered That neither their Advice nor Applications had been at all regarded in the course of his sicknesse That the King had been ill dealt with more than once or twice and That when by the benefit both of his Youth and carefull means there were some fair hopes of his Recovery he was again more strongly overlaid than ever It is affirmed by a Writer of the Popish party who could have no great cause to pity such a calamitous end that the Apothecary who poysond him for the horrour of the offense and the disquietnesse of his Conscience did not long after drown himself 16. In his dying prayer as it was taken from his Mouth we have those pious words Lord God deliver me out of this miserable and wretched life and take me among thy Chosen Howbeit not my will but thine be done Lord Blesse my people and save thine inheritance Defend this Realm from Papistry and maintain thy true Religion Ob. 6.

Grey Duke of Suffolk Her Mother was the Ladie Francis daughter and in fine one of the coheires of Charles Brandon the late Duke of Suffolk by Marie his wife Queen Dowager to Lewis 12. of France and youngest Daughter of K. Henrie VII She seemed to have been born with those Attractions which seat a Soveraigntie in the face of most beautiful persons yet was her Mind endued with more excellent Charms then the Attractions of her Face Modest and Mild of Disposition Courteous of Carriage and of such Affable Deportment as might entitle her to the name of Queen of Hearts before she was designed for Queen over any Subjects 2. These her Native and obliging Graces were accompanied with some more profitable ones of her own acquiring which set an higher value on them and much encreased the same both in Worth and Lustre Having attained unto that Age in which other young Ladies used to apply themselves to the sports and exercises of their Sex She wholly gave her Mind to good Arts and Sciences much furthered in that pursuit by the loving Care of Mr Elmer under whose charge she came to such a large proficiency that she spake the Latin and Greek Tongues with as sweet a fluencie as if they had been natural and native to her exactly skilled in the liberal Sciences and perfectly well studied in both kinds of Philosophie 3. Take here a story out of Mr Ascham's Schoolm p. 11. in his own words One example Whether love or fear doth work more in a child for vertue and learning I will gladly report which may be heard with some pleasure and followed with more profit Before I went into Germanie I came to Brodegate in Leicestershire to take my leave of that noble Ladie Jane Grey to whom I was exceeding much beholding Her Parents the Duke and the Dutchesse with all the Houshold Gentlemen and Gentlewomen were hunting in the Park I found her in her Chamber reading Phoedon Platonis in Greek and that with as much delight as some Gentlemen would read a merry tale in Bocace After salutation and duty done with some other talk I asked her why she would leese such pastime in the Park Smiling she answered me I wisse all their sport in the Park is but a shadow to that pleasure that I find in Plato Alas good folk they never felt what true pleasure meant And how came You Madam quoth I to this deep knowledge of pleasure and what did chiefly allure You unto it seeing not many women but very few men have attained thereunto I will tel you saith she and tell you a troth which perchance ye will marvel at One of the greatest benefits that ever God gave me is that he sent me so sharp and severe Parents and so gentle a Schoolmaster For when I am in presence either of Father or Mother whether I speak keep silence sit stand or go eat drink be merry or sad be sowing playing dauncing or doing any thing else I must do it as it were in such weight measure and number even so perfectly as God made the world or else I am so sharply traunted so cruelly threatned yea presently sometimes with pinches nips and bobs and waies which I will not name for the honour I bear them so without measure misordered that I think my self in hell till time come that I must go to Mr Elmer who teacheth me so gently so pleasantly with such fair allurements to learning that I think all the time nothing whiles I am with him And when I am called from him I fall on weeping because whatsoever I do else but learning is full of grief trouble fear and whole misliking unto me And thus my book hath been so much my pleasure and bringeth dayly to me more pleasure and more that in respect of it all other pleasures in very deed be but trifles and troubles unto me I remember this talk gladly both because it is so worthy of memory and because also it was the last talk that ever I had and the last time that ever I saw that noble and worthy Lady Thus far Mr Ascham 4.
