iust When God from heauen our patient bondage eide The Papists hope he soone consumde to dust Queene Mary dy'de euen in their whottest pride Then downe did fall their pompe of evry side The Image then of Plenty Power and Peace His mercy sent whose raigne the same encrease 26 This noble Lord vpon this blessed chaunce In Counsell sate among the grauest Wights His care was set the Gospell to aduaunce His zeale out shinde the Papists taper lights To do good deedes were set his whole delights His noble howse of Conscience seemd a Court Such heapes of men for succour did resort 27 While fortune smilde he did not like the world Bye vild serach craue gape are gaine could fall Behinde his backe these worldly Ioyes he whurld He fixt his eyes vpon Gods Church in thrall Which he too free set hand hart purse and all His bordes were spred his gates wyde open stoode For Pastors pure which ministred heauenly foodee 28 The Idle Dronne the forme that onely had He thought vnmeete to take a holy charge But some saye though the minister be bad Gods word is pure which we must make our targe I say no les and yet they roue at large A Diamond keepes his vertue set in bras But set in Gold it hath a perfect grace 29 Gods word is pure though preached by the Deuil The holy Ghoste yet seldome comes in hell Without whose gift mans nature is most euill Much like a foole that bytes the bitter shell And leaues the nut the barke not tasting well The multitude of perfect iudgement barde The Preachers words so by his life regard 30 This noble Lord this grocenes did perceiue That simple men Iudge by the outward face And therefore did his benefices giue To such as had both learning gift and grace Would God the like ware seene in eury place The God of Heauen should be glorified then Euen by the workes the liues and lights of men 31 Although this Lord was honord by the sword His wisedome iudg d that learning was deuine Which to aduaunce his bounty did afford Allowance great as if he had a mine 〈◊〉 Schollers poore in whome good gifts did shine In mournfull Cryes he both his eares bestowde His purse wide ope a fruitefull pitty showde 32 To show he bilt his acttions of the Lord Not as the most on fortunes smiling cheare He chose Che sera sera for his word Gods will shal be in heauen aboue and heare The Thunder bolte the strongest towres teare The lightning flash consumes the house of reede And plagues do raigne vpon the wicked seede 33 What did become of Caesars clyming head Of Pompeis rule and Alexanders raigne A light account so soone as they were dead Yea they whose mindes a world could not cōtaine With much a doe a seemely Tombe did gaine Their conquestes great returnde and waxed lesse For nought may stand but what gods hād doth bles 34 The Plow in vaine is set into the ground Unlesse the seede God blesseth with encrease The bilding of the wicked is vnsound Although of bras he frameth euery peace Yea sinketh oft before his owne disseace This Prouerbe old doth profecie his fall Though man propose yet God disposeth all 35 This noble Lord that hath both seene and read The Rules and Raignes y t Time did sinke shake That euen those men that fortune most had fead That liu'de like Gods their leaues as mē did take And haue no name of whom ten thousands spake By his Poesie in true construction then Gods power showes ore all the works of men 36 And that the Lord might all his labours blesse His chiefest workes his temple was to bilde To comfort those that languisht in distresse Such to receiue as Tyranny exilde To cloth and feade the widdow and her childe On these good deedes which holy men may name This Godly Lord did build his forte of fame 37 Caesar oft sayd he gloried most in this Vnto his friend he neuer was vnkinde And oft forgaue his foe that did amis Two worthy gi●ts beseeming Caesars minde Which in this lord his vertues brightly shinde For to his friend none could more fauour show Nor none that liu'd that more forgaue his foe 38 This gratefull part though many I could show Among the rest a good remembraunce Gods will this Lord into the Theames did throw A waterman did rush among the waues And by Gods ayde his dangered life he saues Whose ayde this Lord did nobly then reward And afterward to multiply regard 39 The thriftles man by some vnhappy corse Offended in a veniall cause of death The law did pas This Lord then tooke remorse On him that once his life did helpe to saue In lewe whereof his perdon he did craue And afterward that he might truly liue This man he did a yearely pension giue 40 Ambition wrath enuy and disdaine Haunt Princes Courts and doe the most enthrall But none of these his honor once could staine Like to the snaile he neuer clymde to fall No wrathfull moode his wisdome could appaule On worldly pride he fixt no enuious eye Nor scornde the poore where he good gifts did spye 41 Although he liu'd in fauour of his prince He neuer rose by any mans disgrace His actes so iust as Enuy did convince To noble to craue for to inrich his race Ready to giue and gaue in evry place On Honour he and Uertue made his stay And neuer faund where fortune bare the sway 42 His wisedome knowne in many a cause before Right meete his prince and Cōmō weale to serue Her maiestie by him did set much store And to say trueth no man could more deserue Who with a charge from which he did not swerue In noble sorte as seemde so sad a chaunce Went to Condole the King his death of Fraunce 43 His honor thus by noble actions grewe And all was grace in which he was attir'd At home abroade in peace and warre most true Aboue his hart his vertues farre aspir'de And crownde him with more praise then he desir'de The Scottish traines did axe a trusty eye Then through the North with speed this lord did hie 44 Of Barwicke he the Gouernour was made In which hye charge he ruld without suspect The Souldiers old he did re●resh and ayde Who well deseru'de he nobly did respect Who did offende he mildely did correct With Iustice he did euer measure Grace Which made him fear'd th●ough loue in evry place 45 The deadly foode that thirsteth after blood His wisedome in those parts appeased much The hollowe Scots that seldome wisht vs good Would often saye there neuer gouernd such Tride by his foes his vertues bid the tuch And truth to say generall was the song Th'earle of Bedford did neuer Person wrong 46 In Scotland when that in our soueraignes place He Cristened the seemely Scottish King He did the
