Of his death and buriall.

AS a Fish cannot live out of Water, no more was it in the Destiny of this King, to live out of trouble; as ••oone as he came to enjoy quietnesse, he left to en∣joy life, no more time left him betweene his Agreement with Duke Henry and his Death, but onely so much as might reasonably serve him to take his last leave of all his Friends; For it was but from Ianuary to October; and the last Friend he tooke leave of, was Theodoricke Earle of Flanders, whom he met at Dover, and as soone as he had dismissed him, he was suddenly taken with the Iliake Passion, and with an old disease of the Emeraulds: and dyed in the Monastery there, the five and twentyeth of October, in the yeare 1154. when he had Raigned almost nine∣teene yeares, Lived nine and forty; and was Buryed in the Abbey of Feversham, which he had Founded.
