Title
The marrow of history: or, the pilgrimage of kings and princes. Truly representing the variety of dangers inhærent to their crowns; and the lamentable deaths which many of them, and some of the best of them, have undergone. Collected out of the best modern histories; and from all those which have been most famous in the Latine, Greek, or in the Hebrew tongue. Shewing, not onely the tragedies of princes at their deaths, but their exploits and sayings in their lives; and by what virtues some of them have flourished in the height of honour; and overcome by what affections, others of them have sunk into the depth of all calamities. A work most delightfull for knowledge, and as profitable for example. Collected by Lodowick Lloyd, one of the gentlemen in ordinary to Queen Elizabeth. And corrected and revived by R.C. Master of Arts.
