Leicester-shire.

KIng Richard the third, (vid.) Crouch-back Richard the Usur∣per, who from the City of Leicester set forth in one day in great Pomp, and in battel-aray, to keep the Crown sure up∣on his own helmet in a sore fought field, yielded both it and his life, unto the Head and Hands of Henry of Rich∣mond his Conquerour, and the next day was brought back like a Hog, naked and torn, and with contempt without tears obscurely buryed in the Gray-Fryers in this City; whose suppression hath suppressed the Plot place of his Grave, and only the Stone-Chest wherein he was laid (a drinking trough now for Horses in a common Inn) re∣taineth the Memory of that great Mo∣narchs Funeral: And so did a Stone in

the Church and Chappel of St. Ma∣ries, inclose the Corps of the proud and pontifical Cardinal Wolsey, who had prepared for himself a far more richer Monument.

Lutterworth: Where the famous John Wickliffe, Englands Morning-Star, di∣spersed the clouds of all Papistical dark∣ness, by preaching the Gospel in that his charge, and stile of his Pen; so pier∣cing in power, that the Man of sin ever since hath been better known to the world.
