In old time about the yeere 1221. there was a religious house of Friers Predicants, without the Bars in Oldborne; to which order, Hubert de Bur∣go
Earle of Kent, was an especiall Benefactor: giuing vnto them that noble Pallace at Westminster, now called White Hall: Thus Hubert was a faith∣full seruant to King Iohn, and to his sonne Henry the third, a carefull Patriot of the State, and one who vnfainedly loued his Country, who when he had made triall of the variable changes of Fortune,* 1.1 as being seldome, or neuer, but either highly in the Kings loue, or in the Subiects hatred, or in the Kings heauy displeasure, and the peoples generall applause; lastly, being full fraught with yeers, as he was with many eminent vertues, he died, in the fa∣uour of God, the King, and all good men, at his Mannor of Bansted in Sur∣rey, the Ides of May, Anno 1243. Hee was first here intombed, but after∣wards (as though he had beene fatally ordained to take no more rest in his graue, then quietnesse in his world••y employments) his body was transla∣ted, at the same time when these Friers were remoued from Oldborne into London, to that house now called the blacke Friers, neere vnto Ludgate: where belike it takes no better rest, then others haue done so buried.
Hubert de Bur∣go Earle of Kent.
