So did Sir Rich.
Greinuile the elder enterlace his home Magistracy, with martiall
employments abroad: whereof the K. testifyed his good liking by
his liberality. Which domestical example, encouraged his sonne
Roger the more hardily to hazard, & the more willingly to resign
his life in the vnfortunate Mary Rose. A disposition & successe
equally fatall to that house: for his sonne againe, the second
Sir Ric. after his trauell and following the warres vnder the
Emperour Maximilian, against the great Turke, for which his name
is recorded by sundry forrain writers and his vndertaking to people
Virginia and Ireland, made so glorious a conclusion in her Maiesties
ship the Reuenge (of which he had charge, as Captaine, & of the whole
fleet as Vice-admirall) that it seemed thereby, when he found none
other to compare withall in his life, he striued through a vertuous
enuy to exceed it in his death. A victorious losse for the realme;
and of which the Spaniard may say with Pirrhus, that many such
conquests would beget his vtter ouerthrow.
