ABSTRACT

Afterwards, the king commanded cardinall W oolseie to go to this bishop, and to bring the booke awaie with him to deliver to his majestie. But see the mishap! that a man in all other things so provident, should now be so negligent: and at that time most forget himselfe, when (as it after fell out) he had most need to have remembred himselfe. For this bishop having written two bookes (the one to answer the kings command, and the other in treating of his owne private affaires) did bind them both after one sort in vellame, just of one length, bredth, and thicknesse, and in all points in such like proportion answering one an other, as the one could not by anie especiall note be discerned from the other: both which he also laid up togither in one place of his studie.
