Edward the sixt. An. Dom. 1546.

HAd this Kings reigne bin long, as it was good,
Religion in a peaceable state had stood,
What might haue his age bin, when his blest youth,
••o valiantly aduanc'd Gods sacred truth?
At nine yeeres age, the Crowne on him hee tooke,
And ere sixteene, he Crowne and life for sooke.
Too good for earth, th'Almighty tooke his spirit,
And Westminster his Carkas doth inherit.

In his 5. yeere a strange Earth-quake did much harm•• in diuers places of Surry, and a sweating sicknesse gene∣rally ouer England, that dispatched those that were in good health, in 12. houres, or 24. at the most. In one weeke there dyed of it in London 806. the most of them being men of best strength.
