They that write the history of this King, here make mention of a dream or revelation that should be showed to him in time of his sickness: how, that because the peers & bishops of the realm were servants not of God, but of the devil: God would give this realm to the hand of others. And the king desired utterance to be given him, that he might declare the same to the people, whereby they might repent. It was answered again, that neither would they so do, or yet if they did, it should be given to an other people. But because it is a dream, I let it pass.
