Encomium of the Deeds and of the Generalship of the Most Famous King Henry the Eighth.

Though not worthy by my skill to write of royalty, nevertheless I shall make the attempt as best I can. How difficult it is to single out for this speech the most worthy deeds of King Henry, who, it seems to me, was every bit as worthy as many other kings, and much mightier. Therefore I know for sure that God gave so many things to this man that to reveal them all is beyond me.
