 compassi, ad quorundam restaurationem datis non 

 paucis pecuniis, exire in patriam & sacratissimo

 desiderantissima devotione suspirabamus. Sed Arabum 

 latrunculi qui omnem viam observabant, longius a civi-

 equitibus, qui de Normannia pingues exivimus, vix 

 viginti pauperes peregrini, & omnes pedites, macie 

 multa attenuati, reversi sumus.

 sitie of Oxford. And having excelled divers of mine 

 equals in learning of Aristotle, I inured my selfe some- 

 what unto the first & second Rhethorique of Tullie. 

 And as I grew in age, disdayning my parents meane 

 estate, and forsaking mine owne native soyle, I affected 

 the Courts of kings and princes, and was desirous to 

 be clad in silke, and to weare brave and costly attire. 

 And loe, at the same time William our sovereigne king
