II.
Concerning the King's Manners, Vices, Recreation, Religion.
Under the Consideration of his Manners, will fall his Temperance, his Ambition and Pride, his Policy and Dissimulation, his cruel and bloody Disposition.
[Sparing in his Dyet.] He is temperate both in his Diet and his Lust.

Of the former, I am informed by those that have attended on his Person in his Palace, that though he hath all sorts of Varieties the Land affords brought to his Table, yet his chief fare is Herbs, and ripe pleasant Fruits: and this but once a day.

Whatsoever is brought for him to eat or drink is covered with a white cloath, and whoever brings it, hath a Mufler tyed about his mouth, lest he should breath upon the Kings Food.

[After what manner he Eats.] The Kings manner of eating is thus.

He sits upon a Stool before a small Table covered with a white cloath, all alone.
