I told you in my last sermon of ministers, of the kings people, and had occasion to show you, how few noble men were good preachers, and I left out an history then which I will now tell you.
I tolde you in my last sermon of ministers, of the kings people, and had occasion to shew you, how few noble men were good preachers, and I left oute an history then which I will now tell you.
There was a Bishop of Winchester in king Henry the1 vi. days, which king was but a child, and yet were there many good Acts made in his childhood, and I do not read that they were broken. This Bishop was a great man borne, & did bear such a stroke, that he was able to shoulder the Lord Protector. Well, it chanced that the lord Protector and he fell out, and the Bishop would bear ⟨image 192⟩nothing at all with him, but played me the Satrapa, so that the Regent of France was fain to be sent for, from beyond the seas, to set them at one, and to go between them. For the Bishop was as able and ready to buckle with the Lord Protector, as he was with him.

This Byshop was a greate man borne, & did beare suche a stroke, that he was able to shoulder the Lorde Protectour. Well, it chaunced that the lord Protectour and he fell oute, and the Byshop would beare ⟨image 192⟩nothing at all with him, but played me the Satrapa, so that the Regent of Fraunce was fayne to be sent for, from beyond the seas, to set them at one, and to go betwene them. For the Bishop was as able and readye to buccle with the Lorde Protectoure, as he was with hym.
