But as there is no felicitye•• or wealth in this mortal world so perfect, which is not darkness […] of encumbrance and adversity: So it happened to this king, ye among his other […] successors: this incommodity followed him withal: that his sons rebelled & stood in armour against him, taking the part of the […] king against their father. First […] coronation of Henry his son, whom the Father joined with him as king, he being both Father and king, took upon him (that notwithstanding) as but a steward: and set down the first dish as Shower unto his son: renouncing the name of a king. At what time, the foresaid Archbishop of York, sitting on the right hand of the young king said: sir ye have great cause this day to joy.1 For there is no Prince in the world that hath such an officer this day, &c. And the young king disdaining his words, said: my father is not dishonoured in this doing. For I am a king and a Queens son, and so is not he. And not only this, but after he also persecuted his father. And so in his youth, when he had reigned but a few years, dyed: teaching us what is the price and reward of breaking the just commandment of God.
