But when he saw his high comaunde not to prevayle he chaunged his thowght and proclaymed his own weakenes saynge Sciant omnes habitantes orbem vanam et triccolam requm esse potentiam, nec regis quempiam, nomine dignum praeter eum, euius nut in caelum terra, mare Legibus Obediunt aeternis. the wordes thus recorded by H.
