----- 都铎王朝统治时期的英国纪事
According to the custom of those times, our author attached himself 'to the person or service of Lord Chancellor Audley, whom he looked up to as his patron, of which circumstance we are in formed by his reference to that statesman on several occasions as his lord and master, and Of whom the last mention occurs at page 147, where our author writes The 30th day of Aprill, 1544, Sir Thomas Awdley, knight, Lord of Walden and Chancellor of England, my late lord and master, departed this worldly life at his place of Christes Church in London. Subsequently we meet with such expressions as my lord great master, my great master, and my great master's house; but these are to be under stood as only designating the Lord Steward of the King's household.
