One, that was above others, not more in place, than goodness and virtue; not more Sacred and Illustrious for his Majesty, than his Graces; Crowned with as much goodness as power, the Kingdom and the Churches glory; So eminently Learned and Religious from his Youth, that he was thought fittest to be the Churches Angel, before he became its nursing Father; and more than Bishop, when he was not yet the Faiths Defender. And when he came to govern both Church and State, did he change his temper with his fortune? Was he less good by being a King? No, he was the Saint and Seraphim of the Throne, his presence was a Sanctuary, and every place lookt like a Temple, whilst he was there.
