Three vertues were most famous in him; wisedome, courage, and sweetenesse of speach. By the last hee gained much fauour from the people. By the other two he purchased, both peace at home, and victory abroad. He was noted also for some vices: but out of doubt they were farre exceeded by his vertues. And for these vices also, being himselfe of a pleasant disposition, he was well pleased with pleasant reproofes.Guymundhis Chapleine (obseruing that vnworthy men for the most part were aduanced to the best dignities of the Church) as he celebrated Diuine seruice before him, and was to read these words out of S.Iames; [It rained not vpon the earth iij. yeres and vj. moneths:][108]Hee did read it thus: [It rained not vpon the earth one, one, one yeres, and fiue, one, moneths.] The King obserued this reading, and afterwards rebuked his Chapleine for it: ButGuymundanswered, that he did it of purpose, for that such readers were soonest preferred by the King. The King smiled, and in short time afterpreferred him to the gouernment of S.FrideswidesinOxeford. In this King failed the heires male of KingWilliamthe first: and then the Crowne was possessed by Title of heires generall.
In these times flourished two excellent ornaments of the Church;AnselmeinEngland, andBernardinFrance: both of them enrolled in the list of Saints. And no lesse infamous for vice wasGerard, Archbishop ofYorke; a man of some learning; not so much in substance, as in seeming and shew; of commendable wit, which he applied chiefly, to giue a couler for euery vice of his owne, and for euery vertue of others either a slander or a ieast: Of enuious disposition; plagued lesse with his owne calamities, then with the well either doing or being of other men; in wiping money from his Subiects by dishonest meanes, subtill and shamelesse; and no lesse sordide in his expences: giuen to Magicall enchantments as many doe affirme. On a certaine day as he slept vpon a cushion after dinner, in his Garden atSouthwell, and many of his Chapleines walked neere him; he was found in such a stiffe cold dead sleepe, as will require the trumpe of an Archangel to awake him. His face then looked with an ougly hell-burnt hue. His body was caried toYorke; few vouchsafing to accompany,none to meete it (according to the vse of Exequies) when it came to the Citie;but the boyes in scorne throwing stones at the hearse. He wasbasely buried without the Church without anyfunerall solemnities, without anysigne either of honouror of griefe.* **
