K. JOHN How now Lord CardinalI, whats your best advise?

These mutinies must be allayd in time By poIlicy or headstrong rage at least. o John, these troubles tyre thy wearyed soule, And like to Luna in a sad Eclipse, So are thy thoughts and passions for this newes. Well may it be, when Kings are grieved so, The vulgar sort worke Princes overthrow. 340

CARD. K. John, for not effecting of thy plighted vow, This strange annoyance happens to thy land: But yet be reconcild unto the Church, And nothing shall be grievous to thy state.
