With all the poisoned doctrines wherewith that great read dragon hath made drunken the kings and inhabitants of the earth; with the confutations of them together with all his traitorous practises and designs, against all Christian princes to this day, especially against our late Queen Elizabeth of famous memory, and our most religious Sovereign Lord King James. Faithfully abstracted out of the Book of martyrs, and divers other books.

This Oswine gave Aydanus, the Scottish Bishop aforesaid, a principal Horse, with the trappers and appurtenances, and as he w•s riding upon this kingly horse, a poor man craved his charity, who having nothing else to give him, gave him his hor•e garnished as he was; wherefore, as he came to Dinner, he King chie him, he answere; O King, set you more prise by a horse, then by Christ? Then the King prayed him to forgive him, and he would not henceforth find fault with him for giving away any of his Treasure: then Aydanus wept, and being asked wherefore he wept, he answered, for that this King cannot live long, this people is not worthy to be uled by such a Prince, which shortly came to pass, for Osway caused him traitorously to be slain.
