put in my mouth, & haue talked aloude to my self alone, as it had béen one that had béen mad? O how often hath chaū∣ced me that in comming from the coun¦sail wery, or from the palaice thought∣full, I would not heare mine owne ser∣uauntes speake, nor dispatch such as I had to doe withall? O how many times haue I béen so drowned in busines, that I could not moderate my pensiuenes, although my frendes did counsail mee to the cōtrary? O alas, how many times hath my mynde pressed me to leaue the court and the worlde, and to yelde my selfe to some solitary desert, as an He∣remite? because I saw the king auaūce him and him, and I put backe as a per∣son halfe desperate.Moreouer to fulfill my trauailes, al∣waies I went asking & serching newes of the affayres of the court: alwayes harkening what one said of another: al∣wayes spying and watching: and all this considered, I founde by myne ac∣compt, that I liued in heauynes, capti∣uitie, and state of damnacion.0
