I shall only add an Epitaph made by this Noble Earl on Sir _Anthony Denny_, Knight (a Gentleman whom King _Henry_ the _8th._ greatly affected) and then come to speak of his Death.
Death and the King did as it were contend, Which of them two bare _Denny_ greatest Love; The King to shew his Love, gan far extend, Did him advance his Betters far above: Near Place, much Wealth, great Honour eke him gave, To make it known what Power great Princes have.
But when Death came with his triumphant Gift, From worldly Cark he quit his wearied Ghost, Free from the Corps, and streight to Heaven it lift, Now deem that can who did for _Denny_ most; The King gave Wealth, but fading and unsure, Death brought him Bliss that ever shall endure.
But to return, this Earl had together with his Learning, Wisdom, Fortitude, Munificence, and Affability; yet all these good and excellent parts were no protection against the King's Displeasure; for upon the _12th_ of _December_, the last of King _Henry_ the _8th._ he, with his Father _Thomas_ Duke of _Norfolk_, upon certain surmises of Treason, were committed to the Tower of _London_, the one by Water, the other by Land; so that the one knew not of the others Apprehension: The _15th._ day of _January_ next following, he was arraigned at Guildhall, _London_, where the greatest matter alledged against him, was, for bearing certain Arms that were said belonged to the King and Prince; the bearing whereof he justified. To be short, (for so they were with him) he was found guilty by twelve common Juriars, had Judgment of Death; and upon the _19th_ day of the said Month (nine days before the Death of the said King _Henry_, was beheaded at _Tower-Hill_) He was at first interred in the Chappel of the Tower, and afterwards, in the Reign of King _James_, his Remainders of Ashes and Bones were removed to _Framingham_ in _Suffolk_, by his second Son _Henry_ Earl of _Northampton_, where in the Church they were interred, with this Epitaph;
