Excerpt from A Dialogue on Wit and Folly: Now First Printed From the Original Manuscipt in the British Museum
Catholic, perceiving that the Protestant interest was likely to prevail under the patronage of her successor, Queen Elizabeth; and, perhaps, appre hensive that some of the severities which had been practised on the Protestants in the preceding reign, might be retaliated on those of a contrary persuasion in the ensuing one, and especially on the peculiar favorites of Queen Mary, he thought it best, for the security of his person, and the pre servation of his religion, to quit the kingdom. Thus, throwing himself into voluntary exile, he settled at Mechlin, in Brabant, where he died in 1565, leaving several children behind him, to all of whom he had given liberal educations. His character in private life seems to have been that of a sprightly, humorous, and entertaining com panion. As a post, he was held in no inconsider able esteem by his contemporaries, though none of his writings extended to any great length, but seem, like his conversation, to have been the re sult of little sudden sallies of mirth and humour.
