- The matter had come to dint of ſword but that the chiefe on both ſides abhorring thoſe vnnaturall warres, pretended to parle as if they would compoſe the ſtrife without blood; in which conference of theirs, the father found the Nobles that were with him, incline rather to the ſonne riſing than ſetting, and to faynt from the poſſeſſour of the Crowne, for dreade of him that ſhoulde bee ſucceſſour: and for that cauſe ſecretely conueyed him-ſelfe from the campe and fledde to the Duke of Bohemia and to the Saxons who before were his mortall enimies and the firſt attempters of his depoſition, but nowe, ſeeing that vngratefull and parricidiall attempt of his bowelles againſt him, honoured and aſſiſted the father to the vttermoſt of their power.

- The ſecond cheefe matter of the diſcourſe of this ſtorie is, of the vnnatural and parricidiall war of the ſon againſt the father. Their own writers call it a parricidial warre, in the which the ſon rebelleth & took armour againſt his owne father. So the Abbat of Vrſperg (notwithſtanding his bitter affection againſt the father) calleth it a parricidiall warre. […] Otto Biſhoppe of Friſing, who was a monk of the order of Ciſtert. before hee was Biſhop, and lacked not blinde affection to Romiſh religion, reaueth deeper in the outrage of this parricidiall warre, […] Thus farre Biſhoppe Otto of this parricidiall warre. […] Though nature thus began to bleede in him, when the battaile beganne to ioyne againſt his father, yet hee leaueth not perſecuting of him with parricidiall warre and traiterous attempts ſo long as life laſted in him: […] Thus of his parricidiall warre and continuall perſecuting of his father, and the betraying of him in his treaſures in his faithfull friendes and principall peeres by whome hee was ſupported.
