Painting under Edward Yl. and Mary, lo"} 



three great tables made by the faid Gulllim, 

 whereof two were the pictures of his high- 

 nefs, fent to Sir Thomas Hoby, and Sir 

 John Mafon (ambafTadors abroad) the third 

 a pi<5lure of the late earl of Surrey attainted, 

 and by the council's commandment fetched 

 from the laid Guillim's houfe." The pe- 

 culiarity of thefe laft words induce me to 

 think that I have difcovered this very pic- 

 ture. In my father's colle6lion was a very 

 large piece reprefenting that unfortunate 

 lord, at whole length, leaning on a broken 

 column, with this motto. Sat fupereft, and 

 other devices, particularly the arms of Eng- 

 land, one of the articles of his impeach- 

 ment, and only the initial letters of his 

 name. This was evidently painted after his ^^ 

 death, and as his father was ftill detained ^' ^^- ■ 

 in prifon during the whole reign of Edward, ^ ^^j ^ 

 it cannot be probable that a portrait of the ^<^*^^/! 

 fon, with fuch marks of honour, fhould hc>^ /^ ^ 

 drawn by order of the court. On the con-/'*"*"*'^^ 

 trary, it's being fetched from Guillirns houfeby^f^t? ^"^ 

 the councils commandment^ feems to imply p^--*^^/' 

 that it was feized by their order. It is 

 now in the poffeflion of liis grace the duke 

 of Norfolk. aJr Ayu^^tut csu,./6u- /cnc*n
