In the yeare after the birth of Christ, 1429.
the companie of the order of the knights of
the Garter, began by the same Philip duke of
Burgundy, hauing purchased a most maiesti-
call name by the donation of the golden
fleece. After this he chose foure and twentie
noble men of tried fidelitie to be of the num-
ber of this honorable societie, adorning them
with a chaine of gold, wherein was the flint
stone burning thoroughout the whole chain,
and the golden fleece hanging before the
breast: imitating herein (as may be supposed)
the marinal expedition of Iason into Colchos
by diligent obseruation as it were, of his ver-
tue and godlines, whereof he was said to be
so desirous, that he deserued the name of
good, and the praise of an excellent wit, the
order wherof his Epitaph which also sheweth
the inuention of the golden fleece, doth de-
clare in these words.
I to thintent the church might be,
both safe and sure likewise,
From tyrants rage, inuented haue
the goodly golden fleese.
