Howe
the
Raellyans
began
their
fyrst
estate
,
and
of
their
great
Idolatrie
to
the
Asse
of
Adamant
in
the
holie
Alsephon
,
&c.
WHereas
the
Raellyans
inhabyting
in
a
certayne
desert
grounde
of
the
Assyrians
,
exiled
for
theyr
disobedience
,
&
dissent
of
not
puttinge
on
the
naturall
lawes
and
ciuile
ordinaunces
of
the
Scithians
,
were
from
their
originall
and
natyue
countrey
quite
dryuen
out
.
For
as
the
Scythians
were
a
plaine
people
,
ignoraunt
and
altogether
vnskylfull
of
the
pompous
magnyficent
constitucions
of
other
princes
:
so
were
they
wholly
directed
in
the
footesteppes
of
vertue
,
after
the
documentes
of
nature
:
they
lyued
in
the
most
playnest
simplicitie
of
this
lyfe
:
they
were
people
that
although
of
small
vnderstanding
of
the
eternall
gouernaunce
,
yet
theyr
lyues
and
good
manners
were
not
the
worst
:
they
had
in
contempt
,
the
deuice
of
noueltyes
:
As
they
began
with
good
order
,
so
they
continued
,
and
so
they
ended
.
Theyr
cloathing
was
of
beastes
skinnes
:
theyr
dyet
of
the
naturall
fruites
,
which
the
earth
brought
forth
by
course
of
kinde
.
Among
these
Scithians
,
there
were
som
obstinate
and
vnruly
people
,
and
such
whiche
woulde
not
put
on
so
harde
and
straite
kinde
of
lyfe
:
were
contented
rather
then
to
endure
the
same
,
to
become
banished
men
,
forlorne
of
theyr
owne
countrey
:
and
to
seeke
theyr
habitation
else
where
.
There
was
a
certaine
wyldernesse
called
Ramanna
,
which
was
a
waste
grounde
,
vnhabited
,
belonging
to
the
Assyrians
:
with
the
east
,
bordering
vpon
Aries
:
vpon
the
south
,
Carmanill
:
vpon
the
west
,
the
Medes
:
vpon
the
north
,
the
Hircans
.
These
Raellyans
were
contented
at
the
first
to
become
tributaries
to
the
Assyrians
,
not
onely
to
inhabite
that
grounde
:
but
also
to
plant
the
same
,
with
all
manner
of
fruitefull
encrease
.
But
after
good
space
of
tyme
,
the
Raellyans
growing
to
great
wealth
,
and
secure
pleasure
of
all
prosperous
felycitie
,
were
able
to
traffique
prouision
of
marchandyze
to
all
countreys
rounde
about
them
:
dyd
buye
and
freelye
purchase
the
priuiledge
of
their
countrey
and
lande
of
the
Assyrians
:
which
they
the
rather
compassed
to
bring
to
passe
,
for
that
the
Assyrians
repined
at
theyr
wallowing
in
wealth
,
and
great
happinesse
which
the
Raellyans
grewe
vnto
:
as
also
because
the
Assyrians
beganne
to
extort
,
and
with
cruell
vexation
to
oppresse
them
:
practysed
the
spaedier
to
auoyde
such
inconuenience
which
might
ensue
.
Theyr
owne
brittle
foundation
wayed
and
considered
after
theyr
owne
hartes
desire
was
established
,
and
all
thinges
brought
to
passe
,
euen
as
they
wished
for
:
they
with
one
consent
and
agreement
,
for
the
more
surer
fastening
,
and
grounding
of
theyr
estate
by
the
counsell
and
aduise
of
the
chiefest
and
wysest
men
of
the
Raellyans
:
gathered
together
with
one
agreement
,
to
choose
a
King
:
thinking
thereby
theyr
gouernaunce
,
not
onely
to
become
ciuile
:
but
also
theyr
estate
better
and
happyer
,
and
that
theyr
countrey
shoulde
the
rather
he
dreaded
.
And
also
that
they
all
throwing
themselues
vnder
the
obedience
,
&
scepter
of
one
man
,
shoulde
become
one
:
whereas
euery
mans
opinion
bearing
swaye
,
there
was
many
factions
,
treasons
,
conspiraries
,
which
dyd
ensue
:
one
enuying
anothers
estate
,
within
them selues
.
Therefore
as
they
thought
best
,
to
reduce
this
their
popular
estate
,
in
one
vnifourme
gouernaunce
:
thorow
which
determination
,
great
grudging
arose
,
most
part
of
them
,
thought
it
vnnecessarie
to
throwe
theyr
neckes
vnder
the
gouernaunce
of
one
man
:
and
the
rather
for
that
before
theyr
forefathers
had
refused
theyr
obedience
vnto
the
Scithians
,
a
people
of
theyr
owne
fleshe
,
and
blood
:
And
also
for
that
they
were
called
Raellyans
,
which
name
came
of
theyr
banishment
:
which
if
nowe
they
shoulde
prostrate
them selues
to
a
King
,
might
well
againe
be
called
Scithians
,
after
theyr
olde
name
,
and
countrey
,
from
whence
theyr
ofspring
yssued
.
And
so
in
continuaunce
of
tyme
,
the
Assyrians
posteritie
woulde
pretende
a
tytle
to
theyr
gouernaunce
,
and
this
theyr
estate
shoulde
bee
come
very
daungerous
.
Whereas
now
euery
man
is
ready
to
defende
his
owne
estate
,
and
euery
mans
particular
condicion
of
lyfe
,
is
generall
to
all
the
whole
countrey
.
And
he
that
enuyeth
eyther
the
estate
of
the
countrey
,
or
the
prosperitie
of
his
neighbour
,
is
a
plaine
enemie
vnto
him selfe
,
and
his
owne
famylie
.
This
hath
béene
heretofore
the
gouernaunce
,
and
therefore
séeing
we
prospere
and
florishe
,
that
all
countreys
rounde
about
vs
reuerence
vs
,
feare
vs
,
and
craue
helpe
at
our
handes
:
why
shoulde
we
so
greatly
abandone
our
great
libertie
,
whiche
hath
béene
deryued
,
from
the
stoute
magnanimitie
of
our
forefathers
,
to
bee
cowardly
loste
in
vs
theyr
posteritie
,
and
chyldren
?
These
and
such
lyke
persuasions
were
in
the
hartes
of
the
common
people
of
the
Raellyans
:
Notwithstanding
the
prudent
elders
of
the
countrey
,
woulde
not
desist
theyr
opinion
:
but
that
theyr
countrey
,
coulde
not
bée
saufegarded
by
any
better
meanes
,
then
by
electing
and
chosing
of
a
King.
Nowe
whereas
the
Scithians
hauing
in
their
countreye
,
as
a
moste
precious
iewell
,
an
Asse
of
Adamant
stone
,
sumptuously
portrayed
with
golde
,
and
precious
orna
〈…〉
es
,
for
adorning
and
setting
forth
of
the
same
:
These
Raellyans
when
they
first
departing
from
their
own
countrey
of
Scithia
,
dyd
steale
this
Asse
of
Adamant
stone
from
the
Scithians
,
&
transported
the
same
,
into
the
wyldernes
of
Ramasa
:
where
nighe
adioyning
vnto
a
fountaine
called
Rempollos
,
in
the
sayde
wyldernesse
,
they
buylded
in
the
maner
of
a
holy
Sanctuary
,
a
place
called
Alsephon
,
which
was
as
much
to
saye
in
their
language
,
a
place
of
lybertie
:
In
this
religious
place
of
lybertie
,
called
Alsephon
,
they
put
this
Asse
of
Adamant
stone
,
and
by
practise
they
coniured
a
lying
spirite
,
within
the
sayde
Asse
,
thorowe
the
euent
and
successe
,
whether
it
were
good
or
bad
,
of
any
thing
that
was
reuealed
vnto
them
by
this
Asse
of
Adamant
stone
,
they
woulde
obeye
,
and
holde
it
for
trueth
.
This
strife
betwéene
the
commen
people
and
the
prudent
elders
of
the
Lande
,
for
the
electing
and
choosing
of
a
Kinge
,
for
that
it
coulde
not
bée
otherwayes
described
:
shoulde
be
ended
in
the
holye
Alsephon
before
this
Asse
:
whereas
a
great
gathering
together
was
m●de
of
the
wysest
people
,
and
best
places
of
the
Lande
,
to
yelde
their
voyces
or
consent
,
for
the
choosing
of
a
King.
This
controuersie
growing
to
suche
a
wounde
,
which
festered
more
sharper
in
their
hartes
,
then
the
languishing
disease
Lossorna
doth
in
the
ioyntes
and
partes
of
man
:
yet
notwithstanding
,
such
was
the
reuerent
feare
,
and
blinde
heathnish
estimation
,
both
for
that
custome
which
ouercasteth
and
shaddoweth
all
thinges
,
had
forgotten
the
very
begynning
of
this
Asse
,
helde
the
same
in
the
worshippe
of
a
God
,
the
whole
multitude
durste
not
but
wholly
geue
consent
,
both
for
feare
and
loue
:
whiche
wholly
as
this
relygious
Image
reuealed
the
substance
of
the
cause
,
so
to
be
content
,
to
establishe
theyr
estate
.
For
as
they
feared
this
Image
,
in
respect
of
the
diuers
plagues
,
&
mischiefes
that
might
fal
vpon
their
estate
&
contrey
:
euen
so
,
for
the
pure
zeale
and
blind
loue
of
vaine
worship
,
not
one
of
them
woulde
fall
awaye
,
or
once
wring
aside
in
that
duetie
,
that
they
thought
might
be
done
to
so
holy
and
reuerent
an
Image
:
for
health
,
sicknesse
,
riches
,
pouertie
,
all
maner
of
earthlie
increase
:
yea
the
renowne
of
theyr
countrey
(
as
they
beléeued
begun
)
continued
,
and
ended
thorowe
this
Image
.
Wherefore
this
deuise
was
prouided
,
that
all
the
people
,
which
although
they
were
of
two
seuerall
opinions
in
minde
:
notwithstanding
,
they
shoulde
be
gathered
all
in
one
,
in
this
holye
Alsephon
.
Where
before
this
holy
Image
the
Asse
,
this
wounded
controuersie
should
bee
cured
:
and
as
herein
they
were
all
content
,
so
the
two
sortes
of
people
dyd
chuse
two
seuerall
Orators
,
to
decyde
theyr
two
seuerall
causes
:
the
one
how
that
it
was
necessarie
,
that
the
lande
shoulde
be
gouerned
by
a
King
:
so
the
others
opinion
was
,
that
their
estate
was
nowe
happiest
,
and
therefore
moste
vnnecessary
to
haue
a
King
:
The
common
sorte
of
people
dyd
those
an
excellent
Orator
,
one
Harmannus
,
that
should
set
downe
the
opinion
of
the
common
people
:
and
the
prudent
Senators
dyd
chuse
for
theyr
Orator
,
one
Alectros
:
As
these
causes
and
opinions
were
very
skylfully
handled
,
so
was
the
controuersie
lefte
before
the
Image
,
by
the
Determyner
of
the
holy
Alsephon
to
be
ended
.

The
oration
of
Harmannus
the
Orator
,
in
the
behalfe
of
the
common
people
,
for
that
they
would
not
haue
a
gouernor
.
IMaye
not
flatter
or
fable
in
this
holye
religious
Alsephon
,
for
that
this
Image
of
all
blessednesse
and
renowne
,
in
the
eares
,
eyes
,
and
hartes
of
all
the
people
this
daie
,
wyll
reueale
the
sincere
as●eueration
of
a
faithfull
Oratour
,
aswell
for
that
it
standeth
vppon
the
commoditie
of
a
common
wealth
:
as
also
for
that
I
speake
before
this
holye
Image
,
in
whome
onely
consisteth
the
power
and
dominion
of
reuengement
,
or
rewarde
of
vertuous
demerites
,
which
if
for
hier
or
wages
:
for
praise
,
or
singular
estimation
,
I
shoulde
exalt
either
my selfe
,
or
the
cause
,
then
no
doubte
I
looke
for
euer
to
bee
plagued
with
the
pestiferous
plagues
that
is
due
to
a
flatterer
,
or
such
a
one
that
respecteth
his
owne
gaines
.
But
if
the
sinceritie
of
righteous
vertue
doo
witnesse
a
good
hart
,
and
a
holy
intention
to
all
goodnesse
:
the
profite
of
a
common
wealth
:
the
continuaunce
of
the
olde
maners
of
our
fathers
:
the
cutting
of
,
of
sects
or
opinions
:
the
healing
of
soares
:
the
curing
of
diseases
:
the
inriching
of
my
countrey
:
the
quieting
of
the
people
:
the
bynding
of
charitie
:
the
protection
and
defence
of
good
order
:
and
the
stopping
of
the
mouthes
of
euyll
enemies
.
Then
also
not
onelye
this
holye
Image
wyll
beholde
the
innocencie
of
my
hart
:
but
the
people
,
whose
feruent
zeale
this
daye
haue
chosen
mee
,
to
bee
an
Orator
in
their
defence
(
as
vnworthie
of
the
same
)
wyll
geue
out
theyr
showte
and
crye
of
consent
.
Our
realme
and
countrey
was
firste
begunne
of
the
Scithians
blood
:
which
although
fleshlye
nature
dyd
ioyne
them
to
bee
of
naturall
consanguinitie
:
yet
in
maners
there
was
great
difference
.
For
as
the
Scithians
were
barbarous
,
and
lyued
in
a
sauadge
and
rude
maner
of
lyfe
,
plaging
their
carkases
'
,
bothe
outwardly
and
inwardlie
:
Our
fathers
being
of
hautie
and
noble
stomackes
,
hauing
a
wonderfull
and
highe
speculation
in
the
giftes
of
nature
:
so
they
woulde
not
teare
theyr
fleshe
,
and
pyne
their
bellyes
,
whiche
should
be
honoured
.
And
therevppon
it
came
to
passe
,
that
our
fathers
refusing
their
obedience
,
were
banished
:
and
for
a
monument
of
renowne
,
transported
this
holye
Image
whiche
hath
directed
and
taught
them
,
in
all
honourable
nobilities
,
and
reuerent
adorations
,
vnto
this
daye
.
In
this
holye
Alsephon
,
hath
all
good
vertues
beeneset
forth
,
and
taught
vnto
our
elders
,
and
lefte
vnto
vs
:
why
shoulde
wee
thus
fall
at
variaunce
then
within
our selues
for
a
Kinge
?
What
shall
other
bordering
countreies
here
about
vs
report
?
Some
of
them
wyll
saye
that
we
cannot
agree
within
our
selues
.
And
is
it
not
commonlie
seene
,
that
kingdomes
whiche
is
diuided
within
it selfe
,
doeth
soonest
decaie
,
and
fall
to
destruction
:
and
the
concorde
of
the
people
,
is
the
best
defence
of
a
countrey
,
and
the
happiest
gouernance
of
a
common
wealth
?
Our
fathers
haue
brought
vs
to
this
happie
inheritaunce
:
why
shall
we
now
seeke
our
owne
woe
,
to
correcte
our
fathers
actions
?
What
shall
other
countreies
saye
?
beholde
this
kingdome
howe
it
altereth
from
the
begynning
of
theyr
fathers
:
Oh
vnhappie
children
,
the
cursednesse
of
your
estate
,
hath
deserued
some
great
plague
from
the
first
begynning
,
and
nowe
shall
be
reuealed
in
this
generation
.
If
we
haue
a
king
,
our
goodes
and
our
possessions
are
not
our
owne
,
we
shall
be
oppressed
with
taxes
as
our
forefathers
were
vnto
the
Assirians
:
If
our
forefathers
could
haue
endured
obedience
,
why
would
they
haue
refused
theyr
owne
kindred
and
countrey
,
the
Scithians
?
why
did
they
raunsome
their
tribute
whiche
they
paide
vnto
the
Assirians
,
vnto
theyr
great
charges
,
not
being
growne
to
the
thirde
parte
of
the
wealth
,
as
we
nowe
ares
but
because
they
woulde
freely
at
theyr
owne
lybertie
enioye
theyr
owne
goodes
without
controlement
,
and
make
vs
their
heyres
freemen
?
I
praye
you
,
prudent
Senators
of
the
Raellyans
,
hea●ken
vnto
me
which
speake
before
this
Image
?
can
there
be
nowe
an
alteration
of
this
our
estate
?
but
that
diuers
sundrie
vexations
wyll
lurke
,
and
secreetelye
lye
hydde
in
the
hartes
of
the
people
?
Doo
you
not
knowe
howe
harde
and
straunge
a
thing
it
is
to
remoue
olde
and
auncient
customes
?
Doo
you
not
see
,
the
people
,
thorowe
this
lyttle
stryfe
,
are
readie
to
holde
vp
the
sworde
one
against
another
?
whiche
if
this
your
enterprise
doo
ensue
,
presently
looke
for
vtter
destruction
,
in
short
tyme
after
to
followe
.
It
is
harde
to
grafte
a
wylde
thistle
in
a
Rosemarie
stocke
:
it
is
a
more
harder
matter
to
plant
the
weake
braunches
of
the
nettles

in
the
highe
fyrre
trees
of
this
wyldernesse
:
The
growthe
of
many
yeares
hath
strengthned
the
fyrre
tree
,
as
the
sweete
heate
of
sommer
hath
caused
the
stinging
blossomes
of
the
nettles
gallantlie
to
shew
forth
their
friseled
faces
:
so
the
colde
winter
hath
quite
withered
the

away
againe
.
Let
vs
remember
what
pleasure
the
Hircans
,
the
Trebonians
,
obtained
through
their
renowne
they
got
in
lyuing
at
their
ownely
bertie
?
and
what
mischiefe
and
destruction
they
fell
vnto
,
when
as
they
gaue
consent
to
thrust
their
neckes
vnder
the
yoake
of
obedience
to
be
ruled
:
wheras
before
,
euery
man
did
rule
at
his
owne
pleasure
:
This
their
vnhappie
estate
of
lyfe
,
maye
make
your
estate
of
lyfe
happie
:
if
they
in
not
taking
hede
,
may
cause
you
to
take
hede
:
If
they
in
falling
to
destruction
,
maye
cause
you
to
winne
renowne
:
and
keepe
it
.
Then
thinke
and
perswade
with
your selues
,
it
is
farre
better
to
lyue
in
the
pleasure
of
free
men
to
be
rulars
,
then
to
fall
to
destruction
by
slauish
bondage
to
bee
ruled
.

THe

For

the

then
no

But
the

whose

a

a

in

most

If

and

,
and
their
hartes
putrified
with
stynking
stomackes
,
let
them
geue
out
their
shoute
and
crie
of
one
consent
:
In
deede
our
realme
and
countreie
tooke
their
beginning
of
the
Scithians
blood
,
in
which
it
is
most
true
that
fleshlie
nature
,
and
naturall
consanguinitie
did
allie
our
forefathers
:
but
in
maners
oure
forefathers
were
feared
,
both
for
their
courage
and
contenaunce
:
our
forefathers
woulds
not
suffer
the
pinching
penurie
of
the
Scithians
,
for
that
they
had
a
further
sight
in
the
giftes
of
nature
:
which
was
not
in
respect
they
refused
their
obedience
,
vntill
such
time
as
the
Scithians
desired
to
liue
rather
lyke
slaues
,
then
to
plant
their
landa
,
and
in
putting
their
countreie
to
bee
fertile
with
all
excellent
increase
:
they
being
denied
of
this
lybertie
,
of
planting
,
setting
,
and
in
vsing
the
commoditie
of
the
earth
,
refused
both
their
obedience
and
countreie
:
For
a
monument
of
great
fame
,
as
the
Chronicles
of
our
countreie
reporte
:
the
Scithians
dyd
geue
this
holy
Image
vnto
our
fathers
,
in
remembraunee
that
they
were
once
inhabiters
of
that
lande
:
and
as
some
other
wrytors
of
our
monumentes
doo
saie
:
the
Scythians
did
geue
this
Asse
vnto
our
fathers
:
for
that
they
shoulde
the
wyllinger
departe
:
But
doo
you
not
knowe
what
the
Prophesie
of
the
olde
Prophete
Raellon
,
whiche
in
keeping
his
Goates
in
the
wyldernesse
,
was
woont
to
sing
:
¶
The
Prophesie
.
¶
Our
fathers
came
from
Scithian
land
,
who
on
an
Asse
dyd
ryde
:
That
Asse
doth
proue
to
be
a
God
,
our
noble
King
discyde
.
¶
But
when
this
Asse
on
thystles
féede
,
then
shall
this
lande
in
woefull
care
:
Haue
want
,
and
wretched
neede
.
IF
I
doo
not
thinke
this
Image
able
to
doo
euerie
thing
,
so
I
shoulde
prophane
this
blessed
Image
to
speake
the
contrarie
:
but
by
the
ways
to
declare
the
Shepheardes
Prophesie
:
for
this
holie
Image
doeth
knowe
both
what
hath
come
to
passe
,
and
what
shall
come
to
passe
:
This
Prophesie
doeth
declare
that
our
fathers
woulde
that
in
tyme
,
wee
shoulde
haue
a
king
:
and
where
it
is
saide
,
that
an
Asse
shoulde
feede
on
grasse
,
whiche
is
nothing
but
the
possibilitie
of
this
Image
able
to
doo
all
thinges
:
Yea
,
able
to
come
from
the
holie
place
Alsephon
:
not
onelie
to
destroie
this
wicked
Oratour
,
but
also
the
whole
countreie
of
the
Raellyans
.
As
all
thinges
are
possible
with
this
holie
Image
,
so
nothing
is
vnpossible
:
we
must
therefore
needs
thinke
of
great
plagues
to
be
powred
vpon
vs
,
if
we
doo
notobeye
the
voyce
of
this
reuerent
Image
,
whiche
hath
yeelded
all
honourable
renowne
vnto
our
fathers
:
And
therefore
it
is
our
partes
to
geue
due
adoration
thervnto
:
But
it
is
no
maruaile
that
we
thussall
at
variance
within
our selues
,
since
that
such
greedie
Cratours
doo
blowe
in
the
eares
of
the
common
people
,
both
for
their
owne
gaines
,
and
also
for
the
raysing
of
tumultes
:
we
maie
haue
iust
occasion
to
surmise
that
such
pratling
Oratours
doo
practise
for
their
owne
gaine
,
with
the
confines
and
borders
rounde
about
vs
:
or
else
to
set
vs
one
against
another
,
at
ciuile
dissentions
:
that
the
wide
gappe
of
mischeuous
rebellion
maie
be
opened
.
For
these
busie
practisers
,
are
deriders
and
disturbers
of
kingdomes
,
and
common
weales
:
to
the
ende
,
the
same
might
approch
to
destruction
for
their
owne
pray
:
such
is
their
craftie
pollicie
,
to
pretende
a
concorde
to
the
people
,
for
a
defence
of
their
countrie
:
when
as
altogether
they
woulde
be
contented
,
that
by
such
wylie
sacke
and
siege
,
to
deliuer
them
vp
to
be
ra●sa●ked
of
their
lyues
,
goodes
,
and
Countrye
.
Our
fathers
indeed
,
brought
vs
to
this
happie
inheritaunce
,
but
howe
vnhappie
woulde
it
fall
out
to
their
children
,
if
such
vnhappie
fellowes
,
and
lewde
Oratours
,
which
are
the
refuse
of
the
people
,
dare
presume
to
correcte
the
golden
counsaile
of
the
wysest
of
this
Realme
,
gathered
together
this
daye
?
the
one
seeking
and
caring
for
the
wealth
of
this
Realme
:
and
the
other
the
woefull
estate
,
that
eyther
they
woulde
continue
vs
in
:
or
else
leade
vs
vnto
?
which
although
our
fathers
neuer
before
were
gouerned
vnder
a
King
,
is
there
good
reason
that
wee
shoulde
nowe
bee
abridged
of
a
kinglie
gouernment
?
As
who
shoulde
sa●e
,
that
euerie
age
by
succession
,
is
not
to
be
gouerned
according
to
the
maners
of
men
:
Our
fathers
were
but
the
first
founders
of
this
lande
,
they
contented
them selues
with
modestie
and
patient
contentation
:
although
in
their
iust
quarell
,
full
of
courage
,
yet
other
waies
very
quiet
,
and
contented
:
for
because
they
were
but
straungers
,
vntill
they
were
growne
into
acquaintaunce
:
neither
was
their
lande
so
populous
then
,
as
it
is
nowe
.
And
for
that
wee
woulde
place
and
settle
our
lande
vnder
a
King
,
is
not
to
correcte
our
fathers
noble
actions
:
but
to
ratifie
and
confirme
them
to
become
more
stronger
,
and
more
noble
:
For
had
they
liued
vntyll
this
daie
,
they
woulde
haue
done
the
same
.
Shall
we
respect
what
other
countreies
doo
saie
?
for
this
establishing
of
our
countreie
,
in
an
vniforme
order
,
causeth
them
to
quake
for
feare
,
least
we
shoulde
increase
the
confines
,
borders
,
and
boundes
of
our
lande
:
In
deede
,
if
wee
should
headlong
hurle
our selues
into
mischiefe
,
in
continuing
without
a
King
,
in
that
they
might
inuade
our
lande
,
our
vnhappinesse
woulde
make
them
happie
:
and
our
curs●dnesse
would
cause
them
to
become
blessed
:
And
then
secreete
spite
which
hath
lurked
in
their
stomackes
from
the
beginning
,
in
enuying
our
prosperous
felycitie
shoulde
deserue
,
and
offer
iuste
occasion
to
bee
reuenged
,
to
be
plagued
by
them
outwardlie
.
If
we
haue
a
King
,
wee
shall
be
the
happyer
assured
of
our
owne
goodes
and
possessions
:
if
thorowe
iniurious
wrong
wee
bee
oppressed
,
to
whome
shall
wee
make
our
refuge
for
redresser
or
reformation
,
but
onelie
vnto
the
King
:
if
the
King
doo
exact
or
taxe
vs
as
our
forefathers
were
,
with
the
Assyrians
:
we
shall
be
comforted
of
the
King
,
with
the
lyke
hope
,
of
assuraunce
as
our
forefathers
were
of
the
Assyrians
:
for
as
the
Assyrians
stoode
bounde
by
faithfull
oathe
,
to
defende
the
tributarie
people
the
Raellyans
:
So
shall
the
King
in
lyke
sort
stande
bounde
by
outwarde
recognisaunce
of
oathe
,
to
defende
and
maintaine
vs
his
subiectes
,
and
countreie
:
Our
fathers
neuer
refused
obedience
,
for
that
they
came
from
theis
owne
countreie
,
was
for
iuste
cause
,
in
that
they
woulde
occupie
both
their
bodies
and
mindes
,
which
the
Scithians
were
neuer
geu●
vnto
,
in
setting
and
planting
,
the
fruites
and
increase
of
the
earth
:
and
the
Scithians
were
the
poorer
,
and
lyued
in
more
slauishe
life
:
for
that
they
woulde
not
plant
their
countreies
with
fruites
,
and
exercise
their
people
with
vses
and
occupations
:
So
the
Assyrians
perceauing
the
gentle
maners
and
good
vsage
of
our
forefathers
,
their
great
pollicte
they
had
to
enriche
their
lande
by
setting
and
planting
:
And
also
perceauing
howe
that
they
began
to
storishe
in
worldlie
wealth
,
did
offer
the
free
purchase
of
their
countreie
,
which
they
did
inhabite
,
and
to
raunsome
their
tribute
:
Whiche
although
they
were
not
growne
to
so
full
a
wealth
,
as
wee
are
,
so
was
their
people
fewer
:
and
therefore
in
all
respectes
of
lesser
chardge
,
and
according
to
the
measure
of
quantitie
:
comparing
their
little
chardge
,
and
lyttle
wealth
,
to
our
great
chardge
,
and
great
wealth
:
they
might
more
sauf●lie
lyue
at
lybertie
,
to
enioye
their
owne
:
then
wee
are
able
,
with
the
best
pollicie
,
and
warlike
prouision
to
defende
our
owne
.
For
as
nothing
is
more
in
hazard
then
wealth
:
so
nothing
is
more
feared
then
wealth
:
for
as
the
poore
countreies
doo
enuie
vs
,
so
woulde
they
neuer
seeke
to
conquere
vs
,
but
for
our
wealth
.
And
againe
,
for
that
they
perceiuing
our
florishinge
estate
of
riches
,
howe
doo
,
they
feare
vs
?
Our
fathers
did
leaue
vs
a
free
possessions
:
not
that
we
shoulde
diminishe
the
the
same
:
but
with
a
famous
nobilitie
,
and
honourable
renowne
encrease
it
.
O
you
prudent
Senatours
of
the
Raellyans
hearken
vnto
mee
:
which
also
vnfay●edlie
,
and
purelie
speake
before
this
Image
:
shall
not
the
alteration
of
this
our
estate
turne
to
the
best
,
both
for
that
our
countreie
shall
be
saufegarded
:
good
lawes
and
constitutions
published
:
our
goodes
preserued
:
the
people
quieted
:
and
reduced
to
ciuile
subiection
?
If
that
enuious
vexations
do
lurke
and
lye
hyd
in
the
hartes
of
the
people
?
there
is
no
better
way
to
vnroote
olde
customes
,
and
plant
good
orders
,
(
such
as
are
agreeing
with
the
old
opinions
of
our
forefathers
,
perticular
and
necessarie
to
our
common
wealth
:
and
so
as
necessary
to
endure
continually
:
)
then
ciuile
aucthoritie
.
It
is
not
vnknowne
,
but
that
old
and
auncient
custome
,
being
neuer
so
straunge
to
remoue
,
by
ciuile
gouernance
it
taketh
place
:
And
where
thorowe
lyttle
strife
,
the
people
are
readie
to
holde
vp
the
sworde
,
one
against
another
:
their
aucthoritie
must
be
made
the
stranger
,
and
more
forceable
to
endure
.
I
doubte
not
but
that
this
happie
estate
shall
both
presently
and
prosperously
ensue
to
renowne
:
and
such
as
are
enemies
herevnto
,
shal
vtterlie
in
short
tyme
be
destroyed
:
and
our
estate
and
common
wealth
,
shall
for
long
time
be
preserued
.
Indeed
,
the
wild
thistle
for
that
it
choaketh
good
corne
,
is
to
be
cut
downe
:
but
the
Rosemary
stocke
is
to
be
preserued
as
necessarie
and
holesome
:
The
weake
stincking
nettles
are
to
be
cut
downe
:
but
the
fir
trees
of
the
wildernesse
are
to
be
preserued
for
a
common
wealth
.
If
we
call
to
remembraunce
the
wofull
pleasure
(
as
Harmannus
wylleth
vs
)
of
the
Hircans
and
Trebonians
,
the
miserable
penurie
they
brought
vnto
their
lande
,
in
lyuing
at
their
owne
lybertie
,
and
myschiefe
and
destruction
:
their
frowarde
awkarde
stomackes
did
worke
in
them
:
for
their
ciuile
warres
and
horrible
dissentions
that
they
were
subiect
vnto
,
when
as
they
fel
at
discord
with
their
King
?
as
also
such
was
their
mallice
,
that
one
of
them
became
odious
vnto
another
.
Indeed
it
is
truely
spoken
,
that
their
vnhappy
estate
of
life
,
may
make
our
estate
of
life
happy
:
for
if
the
remembrance
of
their
rebellions
,
worke
in
our
harts
obedience
and
duety
:
if
their
ignoraunce
,
worke
in
vs
knowledge
:
if
they
for
disobeying
,
and
rebelling
against
their
King
,
came
to
ruine
:
let
vs
with
obeying
,
duetifullie
acknowledge
our
Soueraigntie
,
and
maie
be
long
and
euermore
made
happie
and
prosperous
subiectes
,
to
winne
renowne
and
keepe
it
:
For
in
hauing
a
King
,
degrees
of
men
are
knowne
:
euerie
man
is
preserued
in
his
owne
estate
:
the
whole
lande
chieflie
maintained
in
a
most
prosperous
safegarde
:
This
you
may
well
perceiue
it
is
farre
better
to
haue
a
king
to
bee
ruled
,
then
to
liue
at
lybertie
,
one
man
to
destroie
another
.
This
O

euen
with
thy

that
whether
Harmannus

either
flatteringlie

for

and

,
or
against
thy

or
the

presentlie
to
bee

¶
Here
endeth
Alectros
his
Oration
.
❧
Of
the
great
discention
and
h●rlie burlie
,
that
fell
among
the
people
in
the
holie
Alsephon
.
PResently
after
the
ende
of
these
Orations
,
there
grewe
such
dissention
in
the
holy
Alsephon
:
on
both
sydes
,
partes
were
taken
:
so
that
not
one
man
,
that
was
in
the
holye
Alsephon
,
coulde
assure
himselfe
,
to
goe
away
with
the
hope
of
his
owne
lyfe
.
There
was
for
the
space
of
two
howres
,
suche
a
showte
,
with
roaring
and
myserable
crying
of
the
people
:
rending
their
cloathes
,
scratchinge
theyr
skinnes
,
pulling
their
heayrre
from
theyr
headdes
,
that
the
lyke
was
neuer
hearde
before
.
So
that
the
prudent
Elders
of
the
land
,
had
veryly
thought
,
that
present
destruction
,
and
wastfull
subuersion
of
their
countrey
,
had
in
that
woofull
instant
run
vppon
them
.
In
the
middest
of
this
hurlye
,
burlye
,
such
was
theyr
desperate
perylous
mischiefe
:
that
one
Rosmonna
,
a
vyllanous
Ruffyan
,
dyd
run
very
vehemently
with
an
edgde
toole
,
in
careles
maner
,
purposing
to
kyll
Alectros
the
Oratour
:
and
with
the
excéeding
thrust
and
strife
that
was
among
them
,
the
holy
Image
was
throwne
downe
:
Whereat
they
being
all
amased
,
kepte
silence●
,
and
reuerentlye
knéeled
downe
,
and
with
greate
teares
acknowledged
their
boldnesse
,
and
shamelesse
disorder
:
in
that
they
durste
enterprise
suche
vnreuerent
practises
before
this
holy
Image
:
foorthwith
the
Image
with
the
force
of
the
lying
spyrite
that
was
within
,
was
erected
and
set
vp
againe
of
it selfe
.
In
the
ende
of
this
controuersie
,
iudgement
was
geuen
by
the
consent
of
the
people
,
that
Rosmonna
shoulde
be
hanged
.
And
as
touching
their
controuersie
,
for
that
the
people
were
deuided
,
they
woulde
for
the
present
tyme
,
referre
the
arbiterment
thereof
vnto
the
Determyner
of
the
holy
Alsephon
:
And
presentlie
after
,
that
they
with
one
consent
had
executed
Rosmonna
to
death
,
came
to
heare
the
full
ende
,
and
fynal
determynation
of
this
controuersie
:
for
they
were
al
weryed
with
yrksomnesse
of
ciuile
crie
and
showte
of
the
people
with
,
the
clamorous
noyse
,
murmuringes
,
grudginges
,
that
one
of
them
had
against
another
:
which
moued
them
the
rather
,
and
wyllinger
to
make
an
ende
,
fearing
least
their
countrey
woulde
drawe
to
ciuile
warres
,
and
so
in
the
ende
come
to
desolation
.

First
to

to

to
hazarde

in

:
about
which
you
neede
not

much
to
trouble
your

,
or

your

to
bee
discouered

by
such
greeuous

agonies
:
whether
it

necessarie
,
or
vnnecessary
,
this
lande
to
be
gouerned
by
a

,
perceiuing
the
myserable
mischiefe
alreadie
kindled
with
the
whoate
fyrebrandes
of
mallyce
,
in
the

of

.
I
woulde
rather
with
wholsome
water
of
good
counsaile
,
squenche
the
same
:
then
to
put
the
drye
stickes
of
the

to
increase
it
,
or
the
gunpowder
of
the
Assyrians
to
cause
it
more
raginglie
to

out
.
I
humblie
beseeche
you

Yea

before

If

For

And

Here
endeth
the
Determyners
Oration
.
¶
How
the
Ascalon
of
the
Alsephon
did
require
an
aunswere
from
the
Image
,
whether
they
shoulde
haue
a
King
,
or
no.
AFter
the
Determyner
had
ended
this
mylde
and
curteous
Oration
:
the
people
were
not
onely
perswaded
vnto
quiet
repentannce
,
and
sorrowfull
compunction
:
but
the
determination
was
made
,
and
they
all
wholy
agréede
vnto
the
same
:
The
Ascalon
whiche
was
the
Sacryficer
shoulde
watche
the
good
leasure
of
the
blessed
aunswere
of
the
the
Image
.
For
he
that
was
alwaies
,
the
Ascalon
of
the
holy
Alsephon
it
belonged
vnto
his
office
,
not
onelye
to
watch
ouer
the
people
,
for
to
espye
their
feruent
zeale
towards
this
Image
,
but
also
it
was
not
lawfull
for
any
man
to
speake
vnto
this
blessed
Image
in
any
sute
,
but
firste
he
shoulde
come
and
pay
the
thirdes
of
al
his
increase
vnto
the
Ascalon
of
which
he
had
taken
commoditie
of
a
monthe
afore
.
And
than
the
Ascalon
shoulde
be
a
mediator
for
hym
and
vtter
his
cause
.
And
as
answer
was
receiued
,
so
answere
was
made
againe
.
And
héerein
,
both
for
appeasinge
the
wrathe
and
displeasure
of
the
Image
for
the
former
contencion
,
as
also
for
the
stirringe
forwarde
of
the
Ascalon
to
be
zelous
in
their
cause
,
they
gaue
of
the
best
of
all
their
increase
,
to
be
sacrificed
before
the
Image
:
And
the
Ascalons
fées
and
duety
was
doubled
:
when
they
had
all
departed
,
leauing
the
holy
Ascalon
with
his
officers
in
the
holy
Al●ephon
,
making
humble
peticions
before
this
blessed
Image
:
About
the
twelfth
howre
of
the
night
,
the
Image
beganne
vehemently
to
roare
:
thunders
,
lyghtding●
,
rayne
,
wyndes
,
earthquakes
,
with
many
other
straunge
tempestes
:
the
lyke
before
that
instaunt
,
dyd
neuer
so
sore
trouble
the
lande
of
the
Raellyans
.
The
holy
Lampe
that
dyd
dayly
burne
in
the
Temple
went
out
,
the
Alsephon
was
darkened
,
the
people
brought
into
most
sorrowfull
calamitie
,
and
wretched
mysery
,
thorowout
the
lande
:
thorowe
whiche
trembling
feare
,
many
dyed
:
hayle
stones
dyd
driue
the
Tents
of
the
lande
to
much
●uyne
.
After
these
sore
troubles
,
the
Elders
of
the
lande
proclaymed
a
faste
,
thorowout
the
countrey
,
for
the
space
of
twentie
dayes
.
After
the
ende
of
the
fast
,
and
sacrificiall
idolatries
:
the
holy
Ascalon
all
this
tyme
wayting
the
good
leysure
of
the
Image
,
at
the
length
,
receaued
an
answere
:
which
although
it
might
seeme
a
very
delectable
answere
to●
the
Ascalon
and
the
people
,
for
that
the
¶
This
countreie
must
enioye
a
King
,
and
orders
straight
they
must
obey
:
Take
heede
the
thistle
doo
not
sting
,
to
worke
your
woefull
iust
decay
.
Your
fathers
came
from
Scithian
land
,
this
fruitefull
fielde
for
to
possesse
:
They
brought
a
poyson
in
their
hande
,
one
shall
destroye
both
more
and
lesse
.
When
your
King
shall
laugh
and
smyle
,
In
the
morning
very
early
,
all
the
prudent
Elders
,
with
the
commons
of
the
land
resorted
to
this
holy
Alsephon
:
some
came
to
make
supplycations
to
this
Image
,
for
the
cruell
tempestes
that
was
the
same
night
before
,
some
came
to
heare
of
the
newes
,
which
the
reuelation
of
the
holy
Image
(
as
touching
their
Kinge
)
had
set
forth
:
and
some
came
for
very
enuy
they
had
against
this
new
order
of
choosinge
a
King
,
to
raise
tumultes
and
mischeuous
sedition
.
But
when
the
holy
Ascalon
had
read
before
the
people
,
what
the
Image
had
pronounced
:
they
were
then
al
quiet
.
Some
were
quieted
for
ioye
,
that
their
purpose
was
at
an
end
:
some
were
quieted
for
sorrowe
,
for
that
they
durste
not
speake
against
the
Image
.
This
determination
for
choosing
of
a
King
,
was
a
perfect
finall
ende
.
¶
HOW
THE
KINGE
was
chosen
by
the
consent
of
the
whole
Realme
,
as
wel
the
Elders
as
the
commons
.
THese
great
troubles
beinge
appeased
,
and
quietnesse
established
:
the
prudent
Elders
laying
their
heads
together
,
for
the
present
choosing
of
their
King
vsed
many
wayes
:
yet
in
the
end
,
they
agréed
and
fully
consented
in
one
opinion
,
as
the
holy
Image
had
reuealed
:
which
for
that
it
was
an
impossible
thinge
that
euerye
mans
Bull
should
be
brought
:
they
were
therfore
all
generally
setled
in
this
one
minde
according
as
the
Image
had
vttered
:
that
fortie
of
the
Auncientes
of
the
inhabitours
,
whose
fathers
first
entered
the
lande
,
and
were
the
first
founders
of
their
frutes
and
pleasures
which
they
did
enioye
,
should
bring
his
Bul.
When
they
had
builded
a
goodly
theatrée
for
the
buls
to
fyght
in
,
and
euery
man
had
clodded
his
Bull
with
a
harnesse
of
brasse
,
with
long
pikes
of
pron
sticking
forth
at
euery
place
of
the
saide
Bulles
,
nothinge
was
couered
saue
their
hornes
,
mouthes
and
legs
,
whiche
were
at
frée
lybertye
:
One
Hellepatrus
a
riche
Gentleman
of
that
Countrye
,
put
vnto
his
Bul
betweene
the
skin
and
the
Harnesse
a
number
of
lytle
sharp
shorte
needles
fastened
vnto
the
inward
parts
of
the
Harnesse
:
the
Bull
beynge
both
couragious
,
fierce
and
lustye
,
and
also
vehemently
pricked
forwardes
with
the
bitter
greife
of
these
néedles
,
came
vpon
the
Theater
with
such
admyrable
force
,
that
the
saide
Bull
presentlye
kylled
six
other
Bulles
,
in
the
presence
of
all
the
Elders
of
the
Lande
.
Incontinent
all
the
aforesaide
Elders
made
low
reuerence
vnto
Hellepatrus
,
and
saluted
hym
King
.
And
as
he
gaue
great
thankes
vnto
them
all
:
so
with
great
singing
,
and
playing
of
swéete
Instruments
,
with
all
roiall
pomp
they
went
to
the
holy
Alsephon
to
render
thanks
to
the
blessed
Image
.
When
all
the
Elders
of
the
Land
.
with
the
consent
of
the
Commons
had
strengthened
the
authorytie
of
his
kingdome
:
some
for
feare
,
and
some
for
lone
:
then
the
day
of
Coronation
was
appointed
with
great
prouision
,
and
assemblye
of
people
:
with
suche
magnificent
and
royall
pompe
as
the
lyke
was
neuer
hard
in
any
kingdom
before
:
such
prouision
of
wines
:
such
store
of
imbroydered
costly
garments
:
such
store
of
oyles
:
such
store
of
kids
:
with
dates
,
orenges
,
pumgranets
,
yea
that
cost
coulde
not
be
thought
but
prouision
was
made
for
it
.
But
yet
there
rested
an
other
ambiguitie
¶
Let
them
go

To
Delphicus
Apollo
.
The
Ascalons
Declaration
vnto
the
Elders
concerning
the
answer
of
the
Image
.
After
this
answer
was
pronounced
,
the
Ascalon
declared
vnto
the
elders
:
that
there
was
some
gret
secret
counsel
which
lay
hid
vnto
the
holy
Image
:
for
that
he
could
receaue
no
other
answer
,
but
commaunded
to
goe
,
to
Delphicus
Appollo
:
Then
the
King
,
and
the
prudent
elders
of
the
land
tooke
great
consultation
of
the
matter
,
and
chose
two
wise
learned
Imbassadours
,
with
a
great
garrison
of
men
to
assyst
them
vnto
Phocides
:
where
they
shoulde
aske
counsell
of
the
Oracle
.
After
these
two
Imbassadours
were
furnished
forwardes
with
spéedy
appoyntment
for
their
returne
:
they
comminge
to
Phocides
,
after
some
pause
had
,
with
as
much
expedition
as
belonged
to
such
a
hasty
businesse
,
they
layd
downe
beneth
the

of
the
hill
Parnassus
their

,
to

the
Temple
of
Appollo
,
being

King
and
Elders
of

Raellians
,
they
pitching

pauilion
betweene
the
faire
cleare

Helicon
,
and
the

.
The
Oracle
.
What

In

After
the
Oracle
was
finished
,
the
Embassadours
departed
to
refreshe
them selues
,
within
Hellicon
:
but
on
the
This
theyr
speedy
iourney
being
at
an
ende
,
the
King
not
onely
receyued
at
their
handes
,
the
Oracles
voyce
:
but
also
the
Garlande
,
and
the
Scepter
:
with
rendring
great
thankes
for
theyr
kindnesse
,
and
richly
rewarding
them
otherwayes
.
Notwithstanding
,
both
the
Oracle
,
the
Garlande
,
and
also
the
Scepter
,
dyd
sore
amaze
the
king
,
and
Elders
of
the
lande
:
Insomuche
that
the
Elders
reopented
that
euer
they
had
chosen
a
king
:
and
the
king
him selfe
repented
that
hoe
had
taken
the
gouernment
vppon
him
.
Yet
for
that
they
had
intricated
them selues
so
déepe
in
the
matter
,
they
would
not
reuoulte
,
but
proceeded
in
the
seriousnesse
of
their
purpose
:
and
appointed
day
of
the
Coronation
.
Vppon
whiche
day
he
dyd
assure
his
faith
to
his
subiects
,
and
hys
subiectes
lykewise
to
him
.
The
coronation
of
Hellepatrus
King
of
the
Raellians
in
the
holy
Alsephon
.
WHen
the
day
of
Coronation
was
come
,
the
sumptuous
stagies
were
set
vp
:
And
with
all
noble
renowne
the
fame
of
the
Theater
most
costly
hanged
for
the
prouision
of
such
a
sumptuous
and
statly
assembly
.
The
fowntaine
that
ran
by
the
holy
Alsephon
was
for
that
space
conuerted
to
run
with
cleare
and
swéete
wine
:
such
singinge
of
ditties
:
such
Orations
were
made
in
the
praise
of
the
king
,
such
minstrelsye
vppon
shawmes
,
fluts
&
Timbrels
,
that
the
lyke
triumphes
was
neuer
hard
or
séene
before
among
the
Raellyans
.
Such
feasting
and
banqueting
,
that
for
fine
delicatnesse
thereof
:
I
can
make
no
comparison
:
except
amonge
the
Alerandrians
,
in
whom
all
the
swéete
daintyes
of
the
world
are
flowyng
:
There
was
caryed
ouer
the
King
a
Canapy
of
imbroidered
wrought
gold
(
it
is
a
stately
tale
to
tell
)
for
that
present
day
,
there
was
neuer
before
in
any
nacion
,
the
lyke
famous
roialtie
comparable
to
the
Raellyans
.
The
King
with
all
the
aforesayd
royaltie
marched
towardes
the
holy
Alsephon
:
which
when
the
King
had
taken
his
place
,
in
the
presence
of
all
the
Elders
and
Commons
of
the
Lande
,
began
to
speake
after
this
manner
.
The
Kinges
Oration
.
MOst
deare
Elders
&
louing
subiects
of
this
Countrye
and
Lande
:
in
whom
I
finde
the
faith
of
subiectes
:
the
truthe
of
men
,
and
the
loue
of
vertue
:
which
not
onely
was
approued
by
your
generallvoices
in
choosing
mee
your
King
:
but
also
your
petitions
to
this
holy
Image
and
Lady
Fortune
:
that
I
should
glister
and
brightly
shine
in
their
eyes
,
that
of
so
many
excellent
personages
,
co●●…ly
courtly
ciuilians
indued
with
all
the
vertues
&
gifts
of
honour
,
by
her
well
lyking
(
in
me
)
as
in
one
out
of
time
to
be
brought
to
beare
the
Scepter
of
this
Kingdome
.
And
although
many
suppose
.
I
am
brought
to
great
ioye
,
and
lifted
vp
to
many
folde
renowne
,
yet
many
sorowes
and
cares
do
approch
more
nearer
mee
then
all
the
world
doth
see
:
A
King
must
not
only
be
careful
for
his
owne
estate
,
but
also
of
his
people
and
countrey
:
If
the
one
miscary
,
the
other
cannot
doe
well
.
The
glory
of
the
one
is
the
renowne
of
the
other
:
if
the
people
be
disobedient
&
vnruly
,
and
that
neither
the
feare
of
this
holy
Image
,
or
the
authoritie
of
their
King
,
or
the
obedience
that
is
incident
in
them selues
:
howe
many
sicknesses
and
diseases
,
doeth
weaken
and
infeable
a
Kinge
,
euen
vnto
death
:
A
Kinge
is
incombred
with
the
whole
gouernaunce
and
charge
of
the
common
wealth
,
not
onely
for
their
saufegarde
,
but
also
for
their
wealth
,
profite
and
commodytie
,
their
sorrowe
is
my
sicknesses
:
in
mee
and
in
my
personne
,
is
the
whole
lande
and
countreie
:
if
I
bee
the
marke
that
euerye
countreie
and
nation
,
or
hatefull
enemie
shooteth
at
:
howe
can
I
thinke
my selfe
in
any
happie
saufetie
?
or
that
I
am
exalted
to
suche
renowne
,
as
the
whole
lande
speaketh
of
?
As
I
woulde
be
loathe
to
forsake
and
leaue
of
,
the
good
w●ll
that
Ladie
Fortune-hath
bestowed
vpon
mee
,
so
if
I
maye
bee
discharged
and
vnburthened
of
this
great
and
waightie
charge
,
which
both
by
this
holye
Image
:
the
Elders
,
and
commons
of
the
lande
:
I
am
brought
vnto
:
so
I
shoulde
haue
thought
my
priuate
estate
of
lyfe
to
bee
more
saufe
.
But
seeing
it
is
thus
come
to
passe
,
and
and
strengthen
me
with
all
the
right
,
title
,
state
and
intrest
,
that
is
in
you
:
So
I
beseeche
you
continue
good
subiects
,
do
not
offer
no
iuste
occasion
that
through
rigorus
iustice
,
I
should
alter
your
obedient
opinions
,
(
conceiued
of
me
:
)
For
as
a
King
ought
to
be
a
seely
lamb
,
in
righteous
iudgment
toward
his
good
people
:
so
he
ought
to
be
a
Lion
in
executinge
of
iustice
towardes
his
wicked
people
:
(
especially
)
when
occasion
is
offered
.
Although
we
haue
receiued
some
sharpe
newes
,
from
Delphicus
Appollo
,
yet
I
hope
all
thinges
shal
turne
to
the
best
:
which
the
rather
will
come
to
passe
,
through
your
obedience
&
duty
towards
me
,
in
my
administration
of
rightuous
gouernment
towards
you
:
I
am
that
Kyng
,
that
this
day
most
dearely
doth
loue
his
subiects
.
I
beseeche
,
you
once
againe
(
for
no
occasion
of
my
mislykinge
towards
you
)
you
are
the
people
,
of
whom
I
presume
and
boldly
saye
,
that
at
this
instant
,
do
loue
me
your
kinge
:
I
trust
such
will
be
your
,
vsage
and
reuerent
care
,
that
I
shall
haue
no
occasion
offered
me
to
hate
you
.
I
therfore
in
you
,
and
you
in
me
,
are
many
dispersed
members
at
this
present
day
of
Coronation
,
knit
in
one
body
:
If
one
lytle
sinew
of
this
bodie
do
breake
,
a
great
infraction
is
lyke
to
ensewe
:
much
more
if
one
ioynt
do
breake
,
the
whole
bodie
wyll
become
decrepite
,
and
laine
:
such
is
the
knitting
of
this
bodie
,
that
if
onely
〈◊〉
be
rotten
,
many
members
are
put
in
hazarde
to
putrifaction
:
good
subiectes
therfore
let
vs

our selues
at

that
wee

Here
sheweth
howe
the
King
was
sworne
vnto
the
Commens
,
and
passed
forth
the
daie
of
his
Coronation
,
with
many
pleasures
.
AFter
the
ende
of
this
Coronation
,
the
Elders
of
the
Lande
,
dyd
eracte
an
oathe
of
the
King
:
and
they
cryed
with
a
lowd
voice
:
Holy
Image
defend
our
king
.
Fyrst
they
propowned
that
he
shoulde
defende
the
honour
of
the
holye
Image
vertuously
,
and
shoulde
gouerne
righteously
:
that
neither
for
fauour
of
the
one
,
or
hatred
to
the
other
,
he
should
deny
iustice
:
neyther
by
strength
power
or
aucthority
,
should
extort
of
them
:
but
with
equity
to
mayntaine
and
vphold
the
Scepter
of
his
kingdome
:
And
lastly
,
to
defende
them
,
from
the
inuasion
of
forraigne
enemies
.
This
his
chardge
being
at
an
ende
:
the
people
showted
with
lowde
voice
,
and
the
Trumpets
blew
,
with
other
instruments
ordayned
for
that
day
and
purpose
:
Now
lastly
,
setting
the
Crown
vpon
the
Kings
head
,
fowre
seuerall
tymes
,
one

another
,
but
in
the
end
they
left
the
Crowne
remayning
vpon
the

head
,
styll
vntyl
night
.
Nowe
after
the
fynal
end
of
all
these
triumphes
&
renowned
plesures
:
the
king
arose
,
with
al
the
Elders
,
&
departed
for
the

vnto
a
sumptuous
banquet
,
prouided
for
the

of

:
In
the
ende
whereof
,
the

with

went
vnto
the
Theatre
,
where
they
dyd
see
the
yong

of
all
the
Realme
,

Royal
actiuity
of
many

sundry
Marshall
feates
of
Armes
:
thus
the
day
being
almost
spent
,
and
night
drawing

,
returned
to
the
holy
Alsephon
:
where
they
hanged

Garland
of
Thystles
,
which
was

and
in

maner
delyuered
vp
the
Scepter
,
and
thankes
being
rendered
vnto
the
holy
Image
,
departed
.
❧
Here
is
shewed
howe
the
King
fell
at
discorde
with
his
subiects
:
his
subiects
confederated
with
the
King
of
the
Hircans
,
to
inuade
their
lande
:
Hellepatrus
the
king
of
the
Raellyans
,
was
banished
,
and
restored
vnto
his
kingdome
by
the
King
of
the
Trebonians
:
with
the
myserable
death
that
the
King
of
the
Trebonyans
was
executed
to
.
AFter
this
,
the
king
being
established
The
people
had
him
in
suche
horrible
disdayne
,
that
whereas
they
hauing
not
delyuered
theyr
wrytinges
,
and
auncient
monumentes
of
recorde
,
which
was
betwéene
their
fathers
,
and
the
Assyrians
,
when
they
purchased
the
lande
:
so
they
practised
with
the
King
of
the
Hircans
,
that
if
hée
woulde
make
warres
vppon
theyr
king
:
they
woulde
not
onely
assist
him
,
but
also
they
woulde
delyuer
vp
into
his
handes
,
the
monumentes
and
wrytinges
,
of
the
free
purchase
of
the
lande
,
which
was
betwéene
their
fathers
and
the
Assyrians
.
The
King
of
the
Hircans
woulde
presently
haue
had
the
same
wrytinges
,
but
they
woulde
not
agrée
therevnto
,
before
he
had
ouercome
and
vanquished
theyr
king
,
by
battayle
:
thorowe
the
great
secreate
suite
of
the
Raellyans
,
the
King
of
the
Hircans
was
content
to
satisfy●
theyr
desyre
:
and
appoynted
an
hoast
of
twentie
thousande
soldiours
,
to
inuade
the
lande
of
the
Raellyans
:
but
the
people
had
so
condicioned
with
the
King
,
that
all
those
Raellyans
which
woulde
submytte
themselues
vnto
the
Hircans
,
and
be
content
to
go
in
battayle
against
theyr
King
,
shoulde
be
in
saufetie
both
of
their
lyues
,
landes
,
and
goodes
:
So
the
King
of
the
Hircans
hauing
landed
his
great
armie
of
men
,
in
the
lande
of
the
Raellyans
:
the
Raellyans
for
the
most
parte
,
made
theyr
refuge
vnto
him
:
and
submytted
them selues
,
and
offered
not
onely
theyr
bodyes
,
but
their
landes
and
goodes
,
and
all
that
euer
they
had
,
to
be
at
his
commaundement
:
Hellepatrus
king
of
the
Raellyans
,
séeing
his
woful
misery
draw
on
:
his
people
forsaking
him
:
his
owne
housholde
seruauntes
denying
him
:
his
estate
to
bée
the
most
myserablest
of
all
men
:
and
that
speedily
his
enemies
drawing
on
,
had
no
other
helpe
for
him selfe
,
but
to
flye
,
and
to
become
a
straunger
in
another
lande
:
forthwith
fled
into
the
lande
of
the
Trebonians
,
where
he
dwelt
for
the
space
of
fiue
yeares
.
In
the
meane
whyle
the
lande
of
the
Raellyans
was
gouerned
by
the
king
of
the
Hircans
,
and
as
the
Raellyans
lyued
as
they
lysted
them selues
,
to
be
at
free
lybertye
,
so
they
proued
within
that
space
to
be
verie
riche
and
welthie
,
and
began
to
abound
againe
withall
maner
of
plentifull
pleasures
.
The
king
when
he
fled
,
tooke
Hellidorus
his
sonne
with
him
:
and
lefte
Abdona
his
wife
and
other
children
in
the
lande
of
the
Raellyans
:
which
after
the
departing
of
Hellepatrus
,
most
miserably
the
Hircans
tormented
Abdona
the
Queene
and
her
children
,
in
most
terriblye
burning
them
to
death
.
This
banishment
,
dyd
not
so
muche
vexe
the
king
,
as
the
death
and
losse
of
his
wyfe
,
with
the
resydue
of
his
children
:
whereas
naturall
affection
dyd
moue
him
to
sorrowe
:
so
the
remembraunce
of
reuenge
,
dyd
comfort
him
on
the
contrary
:
Nature
and
reuenge
working
together
,
practised
many
wayes
:
yet
no
better
way
woulde
serue
his
turne
,
then
to
open
his
griefe
vnto
the
king
of
the
Trebonians
:
the
king
of
the
Trebonians
being
at
mortall
detestation
with
the
king
of
the
Hircans
,
declared
vnto
the
king
,
howe
the
Elders
and
commens
of
his
lande
,
had
chose
him
king
,
and
confirmed
the
same
with
as
strong
and
forceable
auchority
as
might
be
deuised
:
it
was
also
ratified
before
a
blessed
Image
in
his
lande
,
which
theyr
fathers
brought
from
the
lande
of
Scithia
:
howe
with
an
Oracle
from
Delphicus
Apollo
,
the
maner
of
his
Coronation
was
appointed
.
And
that
both
the
Scepter
and
Crowne
of
his
kingdome
were
hanged
vp
in
the
holye
Alsephon
before
the
blessed
Image
:
which
they
durst
not
for
feare
of
eternall
plagues
once
diminish
the
same
.
And
as
he
thought
,
the
strength
of
his
kingdome
,
dyd
consist
both
in
the
Scepter
,
and
also
in
the
Crowne
garlande
of
thystles
.
After
they
had
made
mee
theyr
king
,
and
also
royally
put
mee
in
anthoritie
,
and
also
had
crowned
,
and
soueraigned
mee
with
the
aforesayde
Crowne
and
Scepter
:
I
afterwardes
,
but
demaunding
their
obedience
,
which
was
due
vnto
mee
:
and
that
they
woulde
geue
mee
such
ryghtes
and
possessions
vnto
my
imperiall
Crowne
,
as
they
promysed
:
they
not
onely
denyed
mée
of
the
one
,
but
they
rebelled
against
mée
for
the
other
:
and
practising
with
the
king
of
the
Hircans
,
haue
dryuen
mee
from
my
kingdome
,
and
spoyled
mée
of
my
landes
and
goodes
:
and
most
greeuouslye
haue
bereft
mee
of
my
wyfe
and
chyldren
:
for
most
trayterously
haue
they
put
them
to
death
.
¶
The
supplycation
of
Hellepatrus
vnto
the
king
of
the
Trebonyans
.
O
Noble
King
,
that
beareth
the
armes
of
defence
,
looke
vppon
my
innocencie
:
beholde
my
pittifull
complayn●
:
see
the
wretchednesse
of
my
griefe
:
nothing
doth
rewe
my
harte
to
such
a
terrour
,
and
grieuous
horrour
,
as
this
wicked
murthering
of
my
wyfe
and
children
.
❧
The
King
of
the
Trebonians
aunswered
his
pittyfull
complaynt
in
this
maner
.
Dareth
that
wicked
worme
of
the
Hircans
,
Feede
on
the
firre
trees
of
the
Raellyans
?
I
Wyll
surelye
cleare
and
purge
thy
lande
,
and
restore
thée
to
as
muche
pleasure
,
as
euer
thou
haddest
in
thy
lyfe
before
:
yea
,
and
muche
more
:
and
I
am
glad
that
so
good
occasion
is
offered
mée
,
against
that
wynding
Snake
of
the
Hircans
:
Hellepatrus
,
and
Hellidorus
his
sonne
were
succoured
,
and
very
richly
mayntained
among
the
Trebonyans
.
And
as
Hellepatrus
dyd
geue
him selfe
to
great
excessyue
drinking
,
among
the
Trebonyans
:
so
the
Trebonyans
were
a
very
inordinate
people
in
drynking
.
Hellydorus
,
although
geuing
him selfe
to
an
accustomed
order
of
myldnesse
,
for
that
he
in
all
his
lyfe
neuer
laughed
:
so
he
practised
him self
to
the
great
actiuitie
of
the
Trebonyans
:
for
the
Trebonyans
were
verye
actiue
and
nymble
people
,
in
the
feates
of
Armes
,
&
most
strongly
woulde
they
fight
,
when
they
were
excessiuely
ouercome
with
drynking
:
But
the
king
of
the
Trebonians
,
and
the
people
practised
many
pleasant
deuises
,
to
moue
Hellydorus
to
laughter
:
but
such
was
his
myldnes
,
that
it
coulde
neuer
be
brought
to
passe
:
Whylst
the
Raellyans
pleasure
increased
,
and
their
estate
beganne
to
be
sure
againe
:
Hellepatrus
and
the
king
of
the
Trebonyans
ceased
not
to
consent
,
and
take
great
counsell
for
the
restoring
of
the
king
vnto
his
kingdome
.
And
at
the
last
,
the
king
made
such
prouision
of
shippes
,
and
of
warlyke
armour
:
with
such
a
huge
hoast
of
men
,
as
though
they
would
haue
eaten
vp
at
on
byt
,
the
whole
countrey
of
the
Raellyans
,
and
not
by
force
of
armes
to
haue
conquered
them
.
The
kinges
prouision
was
an
hoast
of
men
of
a
hundred
thousand
,
and
fiue
thonsand
Nauie
of
shippes
:
And
hauing
landed
,
they
marched
towardes
the
highe
countrey
of
the
Raellyans
:
which
when
he
drewe
neare
,
they
deuyded
the
hoaste
into
thr●e
partes
:
The
one
part
the
king
of
the
Trebonyans
tooke
charge
of
him selfe
:
the
other
part
,
he
committnd
to
Hellepatrus
:
and
the
other
part
to
Hellidorus
.
Thus
their
hoastes
being
deuided
into
three
leuerall
partes
,
went
thrée
seuerall
wayes
:
and
yet
not
farre
one
from
another
:
for
as
one
of
them
went
forwardes
,
so
the
other
hoast
went
crosse
:
the
one
on
the
right
syde
,
the
other
on
the
left
syde
of
the
armye
royall
.
And
thus
marching●
forewardes
,
they
kylled
man
woman
and
chylde
:
burnt
and
spoyled
without
any
compassion
.
The
king
of
the
Hircans
hauing
prouided
also
a
great
hoast
of
men
,
almost
double
to
the
Trebonyans
,
for
that
he
had
choose
the
best
men
,
both
of
the
Hircans
,
and
also
of
the
Raellyans
.
Pytching
from
the
Trebonyans
,
in
the
dystaunce
of
ten
myles
:
notwithstanding
,
the
king
of
the
Hircans
being
very
fearefull
,
both
in
that
he
had
falsely
vsurped
the
kingdome
:
murthered
Hellepatrus
his
wyfe
and
chyldren
:
mayntained
rebelles
againste
theyr
soueraigne
king
:
doubted
that
the
ende
thereof
woulde
bee
naught
:
so
that
these
armyes
being
in
araye
,
the
king
of
the
Hircans
,
sent
Harroldes
to
the
hoasts
of
the
Trebonyans
,
with
letters
to
vnderstande
their
quarrell
:
whiche
letters
were
in
this
maner
.
WE
vnderstade
that
you
haue
entred
this
lande
(
you
famous
souldiours
of
the
Trebonians
,
and
haue
vtterly
spoiled
and
vndone
our
borderers
:
kylled
them
,
and
burnt
vp
their
houses
&
goods
:
we
are
verie
sorie
to
geue
such
occasion
of
crueltie
to
any
nation
:
wee
being
heere
but
as
guides
,
helpers
and
succorors
to
this
poore
countrey
:
whereas
they
were
oppressed
thorowe
a
wretched
king
,
one
Hellepatrus
,
who
for
his
shamefull
extorcion
,
they
haue
banished
.
If
your
tytle
bee
to
the
kingdome
:
the
people
care
not
,
who
bee
their
king
,
so
that
they
maie
saufelye
enioye
their
owne
.
And
wee
Hircans
that
are
their
patrones
and
defendours
,
wyll
geue
vp
our
right
to
any
king
that
wyll
sweare
vnto
vs
,
righteously
to
gouerne
them
:
But
thus
much
we
craue
of
you
,
that
if
your
quarrel
may
be
ended
with
quietnes
,
to
take
your
owne
asking
:
Aske
what
you
wyll
,
you
shall
haue
it
at
our
handes
,
so
that
this
seely
countrey
of
the
Raellyans
maie
be
preserued
.
AS
soone
as
the
Trebonyans
had
receaued
these
Letters
,
and
read
them
:
forthwith
they
hanged
the
Harroldes
of
the
Hircans
,
and
most
terribly
put
them
to
death
.
Forthwith
they
hauing
this
deuyce
in
theyr
heads
,
practised
that
a
huge
hoaste
of
Elephantes
shoulde
bee
put
in
harnesse
:
and
a
great
holow
cowpe
of
yron
,
hanged
secreatelye
about
the
neckes
of
the
sayde
Elephantes
:
and
to
fyll
the
sayde
hollowe
cowpes
,
full
of
●ybble
stones
,
in
the
night
vnawares
,
were
soddainly
dryuen
vppon
the
hoast
of
the
Hircans
:
for
that
they
were
all
at
rest
,
suspecting
nothing
,
but
looking
the
returne
of
the
Harroldes
,
were
sodaynly
rowsed
with
the
noyse
and
force
of
the
Elephantes
:
With
amazednesse
,
taking
them selues
to
flight
,
were
dispersed
and
slaine
:
(
saue
onely
the
king
of
the
Hircans
)
who
was
taken
a
lyue
and
brought
vnto
the
king
of
the
Trebonyans
,
who
tyed
a
great
chaine
round
about
his
neck
,
and
sent
him
to
Hellepatrus
,
l●●
in
the
manner
of
a
Dogge
,
and
byd
the
messengers
tell
Hellepatrus
,
that
hée
had
sent
him
,
the
worme
of
the
Hircans
,
which
dyd
deuowre
the
fyrre
trees
of
the
Raellyans
:
Forthwith
,
these
three
hoasts
marched
forward●
,
and
pursued
vpon
the
dispersed
Hircans
:
slewe
,
burned
and
spoyled
in
all
quarters
and
places
of
the
lande
thorowout
,
so
that
none
went
frée
:
that
if
he
stoode
in
the
,
destaunce
or
rebelous
disobedience
of
Hellepatrus
,
theyr
lawfull
king
:
but
he
was
slayne
,
and
his
goodes
brunt
.
When
the
king
of
the
Trebonyans
had
purged
the
lande
,
with
kylling
and
burning
:
thos●
that
were
left
alyue
,
were
myserably
scourged
with
whyppes
:
and
the
king
of
the
Hircans
himselfe
,
was
drawne
thorow
the
lande
lyke
a
dogge
,
and
most
myserably
whypped
with
roddes
:
so
in
the
●nde
of
all
these
tormentes
,
the
sayde
king
of
the
Hircans
was
most
myserably●
pry●ked
to
death
with
néedles
:
Hellepatrus
,
and
the
king
of
the
Trebonyans
went
into
the
holye
Alsephon
,
and
rendered
humble
thankes
for
their
victory
before
the
Image
,
where
alsó
they
saw
the
crowne
of
thystles
hanging
as
gréene
as
euer
it
was
in
the
begynning
:
and
the
Scepter
gallantly
shyning
.
These
comfortes
dyd
put
great
ioye
and
comfort
in
the
hartes
〈◊〉
Hellepatrus
and
his
sonne
:
nowe
the
king
of
the
Trebonyans
would
not
continew
in
that
countrey
,
but
desired
to
returne
homewarde
:
notwithstanding
,
Hellepatrus
was
very
desyrous
to
haue
had
him
tarryed
styll
,
and
to
haue
made
his
habitation
there
.
The
king
of
the
Trebonyans
,
wy●ed
Hellepatrus
to
continew
great
sharpnesse
towardes
the
Raellyans
,
for
so
shoulde
they
best
keepe
them
in
order
:
And
so
the
king
of
the
Trebonyans
departed
,
but
most
parte
of
the
souldiours
of
the
Trebonyans
continewed
within
the
lande
of
the
Raellyans
,
&
dyd
inhabite
there
:
but
alwayes
such
deuision
was
betwéen
them
and
the
Raellyans
,
that
not
one
of
them
coulde
abyde
another
.
But
as
the
king
of
the
Trebonyans
taking
his
iorney
homewarde
,
passing
ouer
the
high
hylles
Arnolla
,
his
Charriot
by
great
mysfortune
,
breaking
,
be
him selfe
also
hauing
afore
fall
,
brake
his
necke
:
King
Hellepatrus
vnderstanding
hereof
,
sent
vnto
those
hylles
,
where
the
dead
coarse
laye
,
(
for
it
was
but
in
the
borders
of
the
Raellyans
)
to
bring
the
dead
carkase
vnto
him
,
which
presently
as
soone
as
it
was
brought
,
●e
buryed
it
,
in
the
holy
Alsephon
,
and
erected
a
sumptuous
tombe
ouer
it
with
these
Epigrams
written
ouer
the
same
.
¶
The

Assured

Oh

Such
mischiefe
to

The

That

:
That

In

the

Oh

A
king
of

That

Let

:
A

,
That

:
For
to

,
Thy

neuer

.
THis
Hellepatrus
the
King
being
restored
to
his
kingdome
againe
:
lyued
very
quietly
,
and
suffred
both
the
Raellians
and
Trebonyans
to
inhabite
together
:
he
droue
the
Hircans
quite
out
of
the
lande
,
and
woulde
not
suffer
so
much
as
a
lyttle
childe
to
continue
there
:
the
king
perceyuing
the
fyckle
alterations
of
Fortune
,
dyd
agrée
verie
quietly
with
his
Lande
:
the
kinge
grewe
somewhat
to
age
,
and
vsed
great
company
kéeping
,
and
geuen
to
excessiue
dronkennesse
:
and
therefore
he
could
not
rule
them
with
such
puissancie
,
as
before
he
had
done
:
the
king
him selfe
,
not
onely
became
a
great
dronkard
,
but
also
polluted
with
great
lecherie
:
of
all
women
,
he
loued
the
straunge
women
of
Trebonia
,
for
they
were
very
bewtiful
women
:
so
also
were
they
of
light
conuersation
.
Thus
the
king
being
bothe
drowned
in
dronkennesse
,
ouerwhelmed
with
lecherie
,
indoted
with
olde
age
:
these
thrée
enemies
were
more
crueller
,
then
all
the
hoast
of
the
Hircans
.
For
as
the
king
had
béene
bannished
from
his
countreye
,
and
nowe
restored
againe
:
so
now
drowned
in
dronkennesse
,
ouerwhelmed
with
lecherie
:
indoted
with
olde
age
:
being
banished
from
all
perfect
vnderstanding
,
there
was
no
hope
to
restore
him
to
the
perfection
of
his
flagrant
fourmer
florishing
wittes
againe
.
The
people
of
the
Raellyans
perceauing
the
kinges
myserable
estate
:
the
wyues
of
the
Raellyans
desiring
carnall
copulation
with
the
Trebonyans
,
secréetely
in
the
night
as
they
laye
together
,
dyd
kyll
the
Trebonians
:
and
by
secreate
meanes
vnknowne
to
the
king
,
dyd
weaken
and
infeeble
the
Garyson
,
and
soldiours
of
the
Trebonyans
,
which
dyd
there
continew
:
such
was
the
wickednes
of
these
women
:
that
one
bewtifull
fayre
Dame
,
practysing
with
the
rest
,
howe
,
and
by
what
meanes
they
might
quite
ouerthrowe
the
Trebonyans
,
and
roote
them
out
:
who
shewing
her selfe
very
laciuious
,
&
wanton
in
the
manner
of
a
nyce
harlotte
at
a
banquet
,
in

presence
of
the

with
many
songes

whoorishe
dittyes

thorowe
which
the

was
delyghted
,
not
onelye
with
that
maner
of
pleasure
,
but
also
with
the
bewtie
of
the
woman
:
for
as
the

was
verye
desirous
to
heare
the
woman
singe
:
so
at
the
great
request
of
the
King
,
shee
song
this
Dittye

also
dyd
delyuer

Hellepatrus

This

cuppe
of
pleasaunt
wine
,
With
loue
shall
bleare

The
death
of
Hellepatrus
the
King.
THe
King
receauing
the
cup
,
and
drinking
,
presently
fell
downe
dead
:
and
swelled
so
much
that
his
skyn
brake
,
and
his
fleshe
stancke
so
vehemently
,
that
hee
was
lyke
to
haue
poysoned
all
the
people
rounde
about
him
:
there
creapte
and
crawled
out
of
the
fleshe
of
Hellepatrus
,
great
wormes
with
blacke
beads
:
his
tongue
hanged
out
of
his
mouth
:
his
eyes
started
out
of
his
head
:
be
was
most
myserable
to
beholde
.
After
he
was
embawmed
with
many
swéete
Odiferous
spyces
:
and
thereby
the
strength
of
his
corruptions
stayed
:
then
was
he
intombed
in
Leade
,
and
brought
into
the
holye
Alsephon
,
where
he
was
layde
,
with
these
Poesies
written
vppon
his
Tombe
,
ouer
him
.

So

O

Whose

Who

When

The

So

The

In

THe

with

accustomable
in

the
Ascalon
of

dyd

The
funerall
Oration
.
THis
daie
we
being
al
assembled
hither
,
to
finishe
a
noble
and
worthie
remembraunce
of
our
King
:
which
before
this
Image
,
what
I
speake
necessarie
to
profite
your
mindes
with
the
exercise
of
vertue
,
it
is
the
testimony
of
the
life
of
this
Kinge
heere
departed
,
and
also
of
the
vnfaynednesse
of
a
good
hart
in
mee
:
the
mortalitie
of
mannes
lyfe
is
plainlie
seene
:
that
although
we
florishe
,
with
neuer
so
much
renowne
,
&
the
glory
of
this
lyfe
,
being
bewtified
with
many
great
giftes
of
worldly
pleasures
:
yet
you
may
perceiue
the
fynal
ende
hereof
,
is
losse
What
haue
wee
to
trust
vnto
,
whilst
we
li●e
heere
?
some
saie
riches
?
honours
?
kingdomes
?
power
and
soueraigntie
?
But
I
saie
,
our
vertuous
life
being
the
demerites
of
goodnesse
in
this
life
:
are
the
felycities
,
and
ioyfull
happinesse
that
wee
finde
in
another
life
:
wee
haue
sorrowes
and
paines
in
this
life
:
but
for
our
good
actions
,
euerlasting
renowne
in
another
life
:
O
howe
happie
is
death
:
this
kingdome
hath
beene
translated
vnto
this
King
,
by
worldlie
fortune
:
you
might
perceaue
how
sinylinglie
fortune
dealth
with
him
.
In
the
beginning
,
what
a
heape
of
myseries
and
troubles
shee
brought
vppon
his
headde
,
shee
bannished
him
from
his
countreie
,
and
kingdome
:
And
contrarie
to
the
expectation
of
all
the
Raellyans
,
restored
him
home
againe
to
his
kingdome
:
shee
hath
preserued
him
vntyll
this
instaunt
:
What
a
horrible
fact
,
a
wicked
woman
,
by
murthersome
practise
hath
committed
?
Shall
I
tell
whether
Fortune
knewe
of
any
of
these
euentes
or
no
?
I
shoulde
but
trouble
your
myndes
,
and
vexe
your
hartes
in
speaking
:
And
winne
no
commoditie
vnto
my selfe
,
but
hatered
of
his
posterytie
,
towardes
mee
for
euer
:
wherfore
in
these
iudiciall
causes
,
I
wyll
vse
silence
,
and
saie
nothinge
:
but
onelie
this
:
O
yonge
Prince
Hellydorus
,
in
thee
is
perceaued
great
towardnesse
of
witte
and
learning
:
and
surelie
the
Gods
haue
hydde
in
thy
noble
stomacke
,
some
maruaylous
secreate
,
which
is
not
for
mee
to
intreate
of
:
for
which
,
neither
I'or
any
man
lyuinge
coulde
euer
in
thy
lyfe
tyme
,
perceaue
thee
laughe
,
or
shewe
any
token
of
gesture
,
tending
therevnto
:
might
I
tell
the
opinion
of
some
men
,
who
saie
:
that
whereas
any
man
hauing
any
speciall
gifte
,
no
man
hauing
the
lyke
,
that
man
is
eyther
loued
,
or
feared
for
the
same
:
I
hope
vppon
the
best
,
that
all
the
people
of
the
Raellyans
shall
loue
thee
(
O
noble
Kinge
)
suche
I
hope
wyll
bee
thy
vertues
,
that
wee
shall
all
glorie
in
thy
noble
renowned
actions
:
you
maie
perceaue
and
learne
by
this
dead
coarse
your
Father
,
the
brittle
staie
of
this
lyfe
:
you
maye
perceaue
by
your
Fathers
troubles
hee
had
in
his
life
time
:
the
sorrowes
and
calamities
that
a
Kinge
is
ordained
vnto
:
and
by
the
ende
and
death
of
this
your
deare
Father
,
the
daunger
and
perryl
,
that
a
Kinge
is
subiecte
vnto
,
through
malycious
subiectes
:
O
noble
Hellydorus
,
let
the
example
of
your
Fathers
troubles
,
warne
you
:
his
good
deedes
teache
you
:
the
vntrustinesse
of
Fortune
,
put
the
thought
of
meekenesse
in
your
harte
:
that
all
the
renownes
,
soueraignties
,
pompeous
glories
,
Princelie
fame
,
oppression
,
tyranny
is
both
ended
by
death
,
and
rewarded
by
death
.
¶
Here
endeth
the
funerall
Oration
.
❧
Here
is
declared
the
sorrowe
that
the
Raellyans
made
for
the
death
of
Hellepatrus
:
the
straunge
sight
that
was
seene
in
the
Alsephon
:
and
what
ioye
they
made
in
the
ende
of
their
sorrow
,
for
the
crowning
of
Hellydorus
to
bee
King.
AFter
the
funerall
Oration
of
the
Ascalon
was
fynished
,
the
people
all
fell
on
their
faces
,
and
threwe
duste
in
the
ayre
,
as
the
manner
of
the
buryalles
of
the
Raellyans
was
.
After
the
ende
of
the
buryall
of
Hellepatrus
:
Hellvdorus
Oh
Raellyans
,
a
burthen
wyl
waie
you
downe
:
this
noyse
was
hearde
all
night
long
.
In
the
morning
verye
earlie
,
the
King
and
Elders
,
and
the
people
came
to
blew
this
terrible
and
fearefull
sight
:
but
it
was
squenched
of
it selfe
,
no
man
knewe
howe
:
and
the
Garlande
crowne
of
Thystles
florished
as
greene
as
euer
it
dyd
before
:
the
Raellyans
dyd
attrybute
this
sight
to
the
best
,
after
their
delightes
and
affections
:
some
sayde
it
was
a
triumphaunt
sight
,
to
renowne
the
daye
of
a
Coronation
,
but
when
it
was
ouerpassed
,
they
remembred
not
,
neyther
cared
they
any
more
of
the
matter
:
but
ascribed
all
signes
,
wonders
,
and
tokens
to
the
best
,
vntyll
their
fynall
destruction
came
vpon
them
:
Thus
afterwardes
vppon
the
same
daye
,
Hellydorus
the
King
was
crowned
,
in
the
same
order
,
forme
and
maner
,
as
his
father
Hellepatrus
was
:
But
for
that
I
wyll
not
vse
so
much
speache
in
so
short
a
matter
,
I
wyl
ouerpasse
the
exceeding
tryumphes
of
the
Raellyans
,
vppon
the
Coronation
daye
:
Yet
I
thinke
it
very
necessary
to
set
downe
the
Oration
that
Hellydorus
made
vnto
the
people
.
❧
The
Oration
of
Hellydorus
the
King.
I
Am
to
speake
more
sharper
in
al
respectes
,
as
touching
the
gouernaunce
of
this
Realme
:
then
euer
my
Father
did
,
your
obstinate
disobedience
that
was
to
wards
my
Father
,
with
the
pestilent
enuie
that
in
all
his
life
tyme
did
lurke
in
your
naughtie
hartes
,
doth
moue
me
to
craue
of
this
blessed
Image
,
both
to
heare
me
:
and
also
to
be
a
testimony
that
it
standeth
me
vpon
,
to
be
both
carefull
,
wise
,
and
more
extreame
then
euer
my
Father
was
:
carefull
to
behold
your
croked
conspiracies
:
wise
to
gouerne
so
disobedient
and
vnruly
people
:
and
with
all
extremitie
to
subdue
your
wretched
enuious
hartes
:
When
in
steede
of
louing
subiects
,
are
stinging
Adders
of
the
wyldernes
:
I
tell
you
plaine
,
I
haue
smal
trust
in
any
of
you
all
:
for
I
do
know
when
the
Raellians
doo
shew
great
ioye
and
triumphaunt
mirth
towards
their
King
:
then
haue
they
som
mischeuous
practises
most
thiefly
lurking
in
their
cankred
stomacks
to
stinge
like
Snakes
,
or
Adders
:
But
as
I
wyll
whet
my
sword
more
sharper
,
then
euer
my
Father
did
.
So
I
saie
good
people
looke
to
your
obedience
.
And
if
your
practising
mischiefe
be
secreate
,
deale
cleanlie
and
wisely
,
that
I
haue
no
vnderstanding
thereof
.
For
if
it
come
to
light
,
I
wyll
laie
more
burthens
of
punishments
vpon
your
backs
,
then
there
were
neadles
thrust
into
the
flesh
and
skin
of
the
King
of
the
Hircans
:
You
banished
my
Father
,
I
hope
your
power
shal
neuer
be
such
,
that
your
abilitie
shal
reach
to
do
the
like
vnto
me
:
For
as
I
am
not
destitute
of
friends
,
so
also
haue
I
iust
experience
of
the
vilitie
of
the
Raellians
:
my
Father
you
poisoned
,
I
hope
thorow
the
power
of
this
holie
Image
,
you
shal
neuer
be
able
to
touch
me
,
with
the
best
finger
you
haue
:
but
as
touching
my
Fathers
death
,
and
the
manner
thereof
:
I
will
not
nowe
speake
of
so
sorrowwfull
a
ruthe
,
vppon
so
royall
a
daie
:
but
I
heare
wishe
and
desire
you
,
to
become
honeste
Subiectes
:
I
doo
not
desire
you

in

I

but
for

saufegarde
:
for
as
you

vntyl

disquiet

:
so
in
disquieting
me
,
the
most
cruellest
tyraunt
that
euer
raigned
:
what
pleasures
or
lybertie
did
you
get
,
thorow
your
wicked
dealinges
towardes
my

:
your
warres
wasted
your

,
kylled
your

and
hath
brought
you
their

into
most
contemptuous
ignominie
,
to

people
that
lyueth

and
thereby

Here
endeth
the
Kinges
Oration
.
❧
Here
is
shewed
howe
the
King
passed
forth
his
Coronation
with
feasting
,
and
actiue
tryumphe
,
fell
sicke
,
and
recouering
his
health
,
reuenged
the
death
of
his
father
,
Hellepatrus
.
AFter
the
ende
of
this
Oration
,
the
King
departed
to
his
banquet
,
and
the
Actiuities
were
shewed
vpon
the
Theater
:
The
King
in
the
presence
of
the
people
,
with
such
puissancie
,
dyd
shew
the
courage
,
and
Marshal
renowne
of
a
king
In
so
much
,
that
he
was
not
onely
marueylous
to
beholde
:
but
also
greatly
dreaded
in
the
eyes
of
the
people
.
After
thankes
was
rendred
vnto
the
holy
Image
,
and
great
peticions
made
:
the
king
departed
vnto
his
Pallace
,
and
with
a
heate
and
colde
that
he
tooke
,
in
shewing
his
renowned
chyualrie
,
fel
sicke
vppon
a
Feuer
:
for
which
cause
tooke
him selfe
vnto
his
Chamber
,
for
the
space
of
twentie
dayes
after
,
and
neuer
came
abroade
,
nor
no
man
coulde
speake
with
him
:
saue
his
Phisitions
,
and
such
Gentlemen
that
were
of
his
priuie
chamber
.
After
his
health
was
recouered
,
and
beganne
to
be
strong
againe
,
the
reremembraunce
of
the
murthering
of
his
Father
coulde
not
be
put
awaye
:
so
the
offence
was
neyther
forgeuen
nor
forgotten
:
For
as
he
had
the
woman
in
holde
,
which
had
so
shamefully
commytted
this
murther
.
So
he
vppon
the
recouery
of
his
health
,
fell
to
the
examination
of
this
naughty
woman
.
And
she
vpon
her
strayght
imprisonment
,
and
strayghter
examination
:
apprehended
the
chiefest
of
the
Elders
of
the
land
,
with
theyr
wiues
:
which
when
the
king
had
fullye
knowne
,
and
with
perfect
instruction
was
acquainted
with
theyr
murthersome
practises
,
dyd
not
incontinently
sende
for
them
,
by
his
men
of
warre
:
fearing
least
they
hauing
any
ynkling
hereof
,
would
flie
into
another
Lande
:
for
no
man
was
priuie
to
the
examynares
confession
,
saue
onely
Hellidorus
him selfe
:
dyd
after
a
curteous
manner
in
the
waye
of
friendshippe
,
sende
for
them
,
and
theyr
wiues
,
one
after
another
,
to
come
and
speake
with
him
.
which
so
soone
,
as
any
of
them
made
their
appearaunce
,
were
presently
sent
vnto
prison
without
further
examination
.
And
thus
he
dealt
with
all
of
them
.
one
after
another
,
vntyll
he
had
apprehended
euerie
one
of
them
,
when
these
deuises
were
accomplished
:
the
king
vppon
very
prudent
pollycie
,
sent
for
all
the
nearest
kindred
and
friends
of
these
murtherers
,
and
talked
vnto
them
after
this
sort
.
¶
The
Kinges
wordes
vnto
the
murtherers
kyndred

MY

I

it
good
and
necessarye
to

being
Raellyans
and
wyse
men
,
and
as
I
hope
trustie
subiectes
:
Such

geuen
out
.
of
your
obedience
:
whiche
moueth
mee
to
presume
of
that
good
fame
and
honest
report
that
is
spred
in
all
places
of
this
Lande
,
of
your
true
and
iust
dealinges
,
towardes
this
Imperyall
Crowne
:
For
which
cause
I
am
perswaded
,
that
not
for
the
dearest
kyndred
or
friendes
that
you
haue
among
the
Raellyane
,
wyll
aducnture
your
lyues
,
landes
,
and
goodes
,
for
theyr
sakes
:
If
in
treasons
towardes
this
Crowne
,
there
were
any
such
of
your
kyndred
and
friendes
,
to
be
founde
guiltie
,
would
take
theyr
parts
:
Or
that
their
deathes
should
cause
any
sorrowe
to
pearce
your
haries
,
they
being
perfectlye
knowne
,
and
once
founde
Traytours
.
You
knowe
my
father
your
late
king
of
famous
memorie
,
was
most
trayterously
murthered
,
and
shamefully
put
to
death
,
doo
you
not
think
it
was
plaine
and
presumptuous
treason
?
yea
,
such
a
murther
is
not
to
be
suffered
among
common
persons
,
much
lesse
in
a
King
:
doo
you
not
thinke
the
doers
hereof
are
worthy
to
suffer
the
strayghtest
death
that
maye
be
deuised
.
And
the
people
aunswered
:
O
Noble
King
,
if
their
kindred
were
neuer
so
deare
vnto
vs
,
wee
woulde
doo
the
best
that
lyeth
in
vs
,
not
onelie
to
apprehende
them
:
but
also
to
put
them
to
death
.
HEllidorus
spake
againe
,
indéede
they
are
not
onely
of
your
neare
kyndred
,
but
also
of
your
very
friends
,
and
such
which
you
of
all
men
and
women
haue
had
in
greatest
acceptation
.
And
I
of
my
owne
prudencie
,
haue
apprehended
them
alreadie
:
which
if
they
can
cleare
them selues
,
from
that
which
they
be
apprehended
of
:
they
shall
be
as
free
,
as
euer
they
were
.
And
also
I
wyll
recompence
them
for
theyr
vniuste
imprisonment
.
Wherefore
for
that
they
are
your
kyndred
&
friends
,
you
shall
be
assistants
in
iudgement
with
mée
,
when
they
are
arraygned
to
be
guiltie
of
this
murther
or
no
:
These
men
durst
not
deny
the
King
his
request
:
they
were
verye
sorye
that
they
shoulde
be
vrged
therevnto
:
partly
because
some
of
them
were
not
scarce
cleare
from
the
murther
:
other
some
hanged
backe
for
kyndred
sake
:
other
some
,
for
ignorant
simplicitie
,
not
knowing
what
belonged
to
such
a
soddaine
prouocation
,
woulde
gladly
haue
reuolted
,
not
onelye
their
promise
if
they
durst
,
but
also
to
haue
This
terrible
iustice
of
the
King
,
dyd
stryke
suche
a
horror
in
the
hartes
of
his
subiectes
:
that
they
not
onely
feared
the
kinges
presence
,
but
also
they
were
in
doubte
to
speake
of
him
:
thus
the
king
thorowe
extremitie
,
obtayned
quietnesse
:
and
thorowe
wisedome
and
pollicie
ruled
his
kingdome
,
he
kepte
them
in
such
obeence
&
awe
,
that
of
all
Princes
that
were
then
lyuing
,
Hellidorus
was
of
his
people
most
feared
.
¶
How
the
King
put
many
to
death
,
for
concealing
the
wrytinges
that
were
betweene
their
forefathers
,
and
the
Assyrians
,
when
the
Lande
was
firste
purchased
:
And
also
of
a
Prophete
that
ryseth
among
the
Raellyans
,
and
cryeth
out
of
their
Idolatrous
Image
,
the
Asse
,
in
which
was
all
their
trust
:
The
saide
Prophete
is
put
to
death
,
by
Hellydorus
the
King.
HEllidorus
hauing
squenched
the
naturall
reuenge
of
his
fathers
death
:
established
his
kingdom
,
&
subdued
his
people
to
great
feare
:
then
they
began
by
lyttle
and
lyttle
,
to
inquyre
after
the
monumentes
and
wrytinges
that
were
betweene
their
forefathers
,
and
the
Assyrians
,
for
the
purchasing
of
that
lande
.
The
secreate
inquisitours
of
the
King
,
handeled
the
matter
in
such
sorte
,
from
one
to
another
,
vntyll
the
matter
was
apparant
,
where
and
in
whose
custodie
the
wrytinges
remayned
.
As
many
suffered
death
for
concealing
the
matter
,
so
many
suffered
death
for
the
conuaying
of
them
:
and
he
in
whose
custodie
they
were
founde
,
suffered
a
most
straunge
and
strayght
death
:
Thus
,
as
the
King
coulde
gette
nothing
at
their
handes
thorowe
gentlenesse
:
so
he
had
what
he
woulde
,
thorowe
croaked
crucluesse
.
And
lastlye
,
they
so
muche
obeyed
,
and
reuerently
f
〈…〉ed
him
,
that
Hellydorus
could
not
so
soone
be
named
among
them
:
but
they
would
make
lowe
courtesie
,
and
lowe
submyssion
of
theyr
bodyes
:
the
King
being
bothe
in
riches
and
Royall
pompe
,
with
great
soueraigne
feare
:
in
so
much
that
he
thought
him selfe
the
saufest
king
that
lyued
.
In
the
myddest
of
these
securyties
,
and
blinde
knowledge
of
the
eternall
goueruaunce
from
about
:
hauing
no
other
vnderstanding
,
saue
onlye
in
that
dombe
Image
the
Asse
,
which
stoode
in
the
Alsephon
:
which
their
forefathers
brought
from
the
lande
of
Scithia
:
there
arose
a
great
Prophete
,
in
the
lande
of
the
Raellyans
:
of
what
countrey
,
nation
,
stocke
,
or
kyndred
he
came
of
,
or
out
of
what
place
,
no
man
vnderstoode
:
This
Prophete
lyued
in
a
most
straight
kinde
of
lyfe
,
he
eate
of
the
greene
Figge
leaues
of
the
wyldernesse
:
his
garmentes
were
of
a
skinne
of
an
vnknowne
beast
:
his
Orations
and
outcryinges
,
were
not
onely
for
the
present
wickednesse
of
the
king
and
the
people
,
but
he
also
tolde
them
that
theyr
present
destruction
was
harde
at
hande
:
that
for
Idolatry
and
worshipping
of
a
dombe
Asse
,
would
cause
theyr
king
to
be
turned
to
an
Asse
:
and
the
kingdome
of
the
Raellyans
to
be
cofounded
,
and
inhabited
of
another
people
.
The
king
hearing
hereof
was
sore
amazed
both
at
the
boldnes
,
and
earnestnes
of
this
Prophet
:
feared
his
estate
in
which
he
stoode
in
:
knewe
not
what
to
doo
:
for
that
many
opinions
,
sects
and
factions
dyd
swar●●e
in
the
Lande
,
thorowe
the
doctrine
of
this
Prophete
:
Some
of
the
people
dyd
not
beleeue
of
this
Image
,
which
theyr
forefathers
brought
from
the
Lande
of
Scithia
:
Some
of
them
hated
the
Ascalon
:
some
of
them
coulde
not
abyde
to
come
within
the
Alsephon
:
almost
none
of
them
coulde
abide
the
King
:
Such
was
the
estate
of
the
Raellyans
,
that
of
a
thousand
men
,
there
was
a
thousand
opinions
,
one
contrary
to
another
:
The
king
being
very
desirous
to
●alke
with
this
Prophete
,
sent
for
him
,
and
intreated
of
him
for
that
he
hard
that
he
was
a
Prophete
,
and
outeryed
of
the
voyces
,
and
●●l●hie
actions
of
the
Raellyans
,
woulde
declare
vnto
him
,
his
present
estate
in
which
he
stoode
,
with
the
destruction
that
was
immynent
,
and
hanging
ouer
his
head
:
For
in
deferring
his
wickednesse
,
the
terrible
daye
of
vengeaunce
woulde
be
worse
:
but
in
the
amending
his
lyfe
,
he
might
become
the
better
lyuer
:
and
teache
his
people
such
vertue
,
as
best
standeth
for
the
saufegarde
of
his
countreye
,
to
appease
the
displeasures
and
angers
,
that
are
ready
,
and
at
hande
for
theyr
destruction
:
for
howe
can
we
amende
those
vices
,
of
which
we
are
perswaded
to
be
vertues
,
and
no
vices
.
The
Prophete
desired
the
king
both
to
harken
to
his
counsell
and
warning
,
that
might
best
sauegard
himselfe
,
and
profit
his
countrey
.
The
Prophetes
Oration
vnto
king
Hellydorus
.
IF
that
long
continuance
hath
brought
the
showers
of
fruictfulnesse
,
ouer
this
whoale
countrey
:
whereby
you
wallowing
in
such
pleasures
,
and
voluptuous
ryotof
your
bodies
,
doo
neglect
the
blasted
my
series
,
that
your
mindes
are
darkened
withall
,
in
the
night
of
ignoraunce
:
which
if
your
bodies
be
satisfyed
,
and
your
mindes
vnquiet
,
your
bodies
out
of
daunger
,
and
your
mindes
in
daunger
:
your
bodies
quiet
,
and
your
mindes
out
of
quiet
:
howe
can
you
accoumpt
your
pleasures
happie
?
your
ioyes
reastfulnes
?
for
your
mindes
doo
premeditate
the
actions
of
your
bodies
:
yea
,
your
minde
is
the
teacher
of
your
bodies
:
and
that
which
your
minde
purposeth
,
your
bodies
doo
bring
the
same
in
action
,
howe
can
your
bodies
do
good
and
perfect
affectes
,
when
your
minde
being
full
of
filthie
and
lewde
endeuours
,
replenished
with
al
defectes
:
ignorant
of
that
which
it
ought
to
know
?
howe
can
your
boddies
bring
in
practise
the
perfection
of
goodnesse
,
or
the
knowledge
of
vertue
:
if
your
mindes
lusting
after
wickednesse
,
do
rule
your
bodies
:
then
vertue
is
drowned
,
and
ouerwhelmed
with
the
darknesse
of
sensualitie
.
I
tell
thee
O
King
,
thylande
is
full
of
Idolatrie
,
they
knowe
not
the
reache
of
the
hiest
gouernaunce
.
And
if
they
worshippe
a
doltishe
God
,
an
Asse
:
in
which
is
the
spirite
of
lying
and
er

ror
,
howe
can
there
be
any
light
,
or
bright
shine
of
felicitie
?
for
an
Idolatrous
God
,
can
not
rule
the
minde
,
although
in
the
blinde
purpose
of
phantasie
,
that
God
miraculouslie
,
can
deceaue
your
minde
:
for
as
the
highest
eternall
gouernaunce
suffereth
your
mind
to
be
led
:
so
the
same
gouernaunce
,
can
both
ransacke
your
minde
,
and
breake
your
God
to
a
thousande
fitters
.
But
if
your
minde
were
in
the
knowledge
of
that
eternall
gouernaunce
,
as
it
is
not
:
neither
doeth
that
knowledge
come
to
any
,
but
to
those
which
before
are
destined
therevnto
:
so
hauing
that
knowledge
:
neyther
your
dombe
Asse
coulde
allude
you
:
nor
your
manifold
vices
seduce
you
to
the
toppe
of
vengeance
,
and
mountaine
of
wrath
,
and
then
headlong
to
throw
you
to
destruction
:
but
such
is
the
practise
of
the
lying
spirite
of
errour
,
first
to
blinde
you
in
Idolatrie
,
and
in
the
worship
of
a
false
God
,
which
shrowdeth
the
high
pathe
of
vertue
from
our
eyes
:
to
leade
you
to
wallowing
lust
,
and
such
filthinesse
which
the
bodie
desireth
.
Wherefore
the
lying
spirite
doth
first
winne
and
intyce
the
people
to
Idolatrie
,
to
the
ende
they
shoulde
not
knowe
any
other
righteousnesse
:
vntyll
confusion
were
hotely
powred
vpon
their
headdes
,
least
that
the
true
righteous
eternitie
opening
the
winges
of
comfort
,
shoulde
drawe
them
,
from
the
dongeon
of
fleshlie
vices
:
which
is
diffycult
to
bee
done
in
you
,
for
that
you
are
setled
in
olde
custome
and
long
vsage
of
wickednesse
.
I
saye
,
O
King
Hellidorus
,
consider
howe
many
troubles
haue
nearelie
touched
thy
fathers
estate
,
and
thine
,
in
this
Realme
and
countreie
of
the
Raellyans
▪
how
hath●
this
come
to
passe
,
but
onelie
for
lacke
of
the
ayde
and
succour
of
the
chiefe
eternall
gouernment
,
whose
breath
is
able
to
kyll
thee
and
all
the
whole
lande
:
thou
wylt
saie
,
thou
and
thy
fathers
hitherto
haue
preuailed
in
all
your
tribulations
:
wyll
you
attribute
the
cause
hereof
,
to
your
owne
warlilce
policie
,
learning
,
riches
,
friendes
,
great
hoastes
:
but
it
is
not
these
thinges
that
haue
deliuered
you
:
although
these
thinges
might
be
instrumentes
,
that
you
worke
by
the
hiest
gouernaunce
,
did
suffer
your
deliueraunce
to
be
wrought
,
for
that
a
heauier
,
and
more
intollerable
confusion
,
shoulde
ouerthrowe
and
destroie
you
:
Although
thy
Father
Hellepatrus
escaped
the
handes
of
the
Hircans
,
yet
was
he
deliuered
into
the
hands
of
a
shamefull
harlotte
to
be
poysoned
to
death
:
As
your
dombe
Asse
is
not
able
to
deliuer
you
,
so
neither
can
he
helpe
you
:
but
the
eternall
gouernaunce
can
doo
both
,
that
is
,
helpe
you
,
and
deliuer
you
:
the
inwarde
inuocation
draweth
repentaunce
from
the
harte
,
it
is
vertue
that
is
geuen
from
aboue
,
and
no
man
can
repent
without
this
vertue
:
where
the
mystes
of
sinne
haue
ouerwhelmed
this
vertue
:
there
the
highest
gouernance
hath
no
inwarde
worke
,
and
this
being
The
ende
of
the
Prophetes
Oration
.
AFter
these
wordes
of
the
Prophete
,
the
King
was
verie
wrathfull
,
and
full
of
malyce
,
suche
a
boyling
heate
of
vexation
was
kyndled
in
his
harte
,
that
inwardlie
he
chafed
at
the
Prophet
,
and
at
the
last
brake
forth
in
these
wordes
.
Thou
hast
the
name
of
a
Prophete
:
¶
The
Ascalon
spake
vnto
the
Prophete
after
this
sort
.
PErceyuing
the
great
sedition
that
is
sowen
in
this
Realme
,
by
a
false
Prophete
:
the
sectes
&
scysmes
increased
:
that
not
only
it
behoueth
our
soueraigne
Lord
the
King
,
to
looke
vnto
him selfe
:
but
it
standeth
vpon
my
office
and
duety
,
to
confute
such
falsities
and
opinions
,
in
the
honour
and
glory
of
this
holy
Image
,
which
our
fathers
brought
from
the
land
of
Scithia
,
and
hath
preserued
our
countrey
and
people
,
with
the
fruitefull
increase
of
all
plenteousnesse
:
this
is
necessarye
to
the
people
to
be
spoken
:
to
take
héede
of
such
lying
fellowes
which
vndercreepe
our
gouernance
:
for
whosoeuer
speaketh
against
this
holye
Image
,
speaketh
against
the
king
himselfe
:
and
whosoeuer
toucheth
the
soueraygnty
of
the
king
,
is
a
traitour
,
and
worthy
to
dye
.
A●ter
many
of
these
thundring
wordes
of
〈…〉
e
Ascalon
:
the
Prophet
beganne
to
speake
:
the
king
commaunded
to
stop
his
mouth
:
and
the
more
the
king
cryed
,
stop
,
stop
,
stop
:
so
the
Prophet
cryed
the
more
:
O
wrathfull
vengeaunce
,
that
wyll
shortly
be
due
vnto
the
Raellyans
:
and
with
mighty
force
,
the
Prophete
ran
vnto
the
Image
,
the
Asse
:
and
forceable
vpon
a
soddaine
,
brake
it
to
many
péeces
:
The
king
foaming
,
roaring
,
&
crying
:
hold
him
,
hold
him
:
commaunded
the
Prophete
to
be
tyed
and
bound
:
for
that
(
as
he
sayde
he
was
some
mad
fellow
out
of
his
wyts
.
But
the
people
in
the
lyke
maner
,
were
at
such
contention
,
that
one
was
ready
to

some
belde
vpon
the
relygion
of
the
Image
:
some
helde
vppon
the
doctrine
of
the
Prophete
:
none
of
them
all
loued
the
king
,
except
the
Ascalon
:
whose
commodytie
consisted
vppon
the
sacrifice
of
the
Alsephon
.
The
king
and
his
garyson
without
further
iudgement
,
dyd
cutte
the
innocent
Prophete
to
a
thousand
peeces
:
and
such
was
the
wickednesse
of
this
tyrannous
murther
,
that
he
which
might
haue
a
hacke
at
the
innocent
fleshe
of
this
holy
Prophete
,
thought
he
dyd
good
seruyce
to
that
idolatrous
Image
,
and
theyr
tyrannous
king
.
Euen
presently
vpon
the
Here
is
shewed
how
the
King
fell
in
loue
with
one
Sebona
a
harlotte
,
married
her
:
and
was
turned
to
an
Asse
:
and
how
the
Assirians
did
repossed
the
Land
of
the
Raellians
by
conquest
.
AFter
the
King
wasin
his
olde
custom
of
idolatry
&
all
other
corruptions
,
the
lande
pacified
,
and
prefixed
in
the
wicked
obedience
of
that
peeced
God
,
the
broken
Asse
:
the
King
also
in
doting
in
loue
,
was
led
with
variable
affections
:
led
with
the
nordinate
lust
of
bewty
:
hunting
in
the
wicked
concupiscence
of
diuerse
women
,
was
rauished
,
with
the
special
delectation
of
one
woman
:
wheras
the
fine
amorous
Ladies
of
the
Raellyans
,
perceauing
the
Kings
lasciuious
inclination
,
deuised
with
them selues
howe
they
might
best
set
out
themselues
in
sale
before
the
King
:
Some
with
gallant
imbrothered
garments
,
and
the
costly
silke
of
the
Hircans
:
woulde
shew
them selues
,
with
the
flying
wanton
countenances
of
Louers
to
catche
&
snare
the
King
with
their
abhominable
delites
:
some
with
daunsing
,
some
with
singing
pleasant
Ditties
:
So
that
sundry
women
had
sundry
delytes
,
one
contrary
to
another
:
whose
sundry
contraryeties
ouercasted
the
king
,
with
contrary
impolutions
.
Sebona
a
bewtifull
dame
,
&
the
comlyest
creature
that
euer
lyued
,
eyther
among
the
Hircans
,
eyther
among
the
Trebonyans
,
or
Raellyans
the
acceptablest
of
all
:
Notwithstanding
,
she
had
bene
the
most
whore
,
&
shamelesse
harlot
,
that
euer
raigned
:
this
Sebona
for
bewty
,
gorgeous
apparell
,
sweete
smelles
,
singing
,
daunsing
,
with
al
the
deuises
of
a
louer
,
most
delited
the
kinges
fantasie
.
This
Sebona
in
respect
of
all
other
women
,
was
a
bright
burning
starre
in
the
dark
clowdes
of
Cupids
thundring
tempests
:
the
king
neyther
respecting
honesty
.
vertue
,
or
immaculate
virginity
,
which
are
the
bandes
and
knots
of
true
mariage
,
would
in
al
haste
chose
this
filthy
whore
Sebona
,
to
be
his
wife
:
wheras
shee
thorow
the
counsel
of
some
certain
of
her
friends
,
was
perswaded
to
present
her selfe
very
lytle
in
the
kings
presence
:
Her
bewty
would
appeare
the
brighter
,
the
kinges
loue
the
whotter
,
and
their
purposes
brought
to
passe
the
sooner
.
The
King
languishing
in
the
heauy
agonies
of
loue
,
wrote
vnto
Sebon
a
after
this
manner
.
The
Kinges
letters
to
Sebona
.
O
Sebona
,
the
worthy
Louer
of
the
Raellyans
,
which
with
the
arrowe
of
thy
beutie
.
hast
shotte
and
wounded
my
desire
,
that
al
comforts
eyther
of
my
kingdome
,
common
welth
,
riches
,
possessions
,
renown
,
soueraigntie
,
do
not
so
much
pleasure
or
comfort
mee
,
as
thy
beutie
.
I
that
did
conquer
,
am
now
conquered
my selfe
:
I
that
did
worship
an
holy
Image
,
do
now
worship
beutiful
Sebona
:
I
that
did
rule
a
kingdome
,
am
now
ruled
by
a
woman
:
I
that
did
subiect
my
people
and
Land
,
am
now
brought
in
subiection
my selfe
:
O
pitifull
Sebona
:
the
Phisition
of
my
diseases
:
the
comfort
of
all
my
troubles
:
the
ease
of
all
my
griefes
,
vnderstand
my
sorrowes
:
fulfil
my
mind
:
restore
him
that
is
banished
from
al
pleasures
,
to
find
some
ioy
:
thy
loue
shal
be
thy
renownathy
beutie
shal
be
thy
pleasures
and
wealth
:
the
comelynesse
of
thy
bodie
,
shal
be
rular
of
this
Land
and
countrey
.
Let
me
receaue
some
comfort
againe
of
these
earnest
letters
:
or
else
if
I
be
forsaken
my
sweete
Sebona
:
as
thou
before
hast
wounded
mee
,
so
presently
nowe
hast
thou
killed
me
:
as
thou
hast
punished
me
,
so
now
hast
thou
brought
me
to
vtter
destruction
.
Heare
the
pittifull
crie
of
a
King
,
that
desireth
to
reward
thy
Loue
in
making
thee
a
Queene
.
The
ende
of
the
kinges
letters
.
AFter
these
letters
were
receaued
by
Sebona
:
that
whore
,
and
filthy
harlot
,
had
counsell
by
her
neare
friends
,
neyther
to
send
,
or
go
,
or
write
:
or
by
any
meanes
to
geue
the
King
any
comfort
of
his
letters
,
for
as
they
surmysed
,
the
King
practysed
rather
to
satisfy
his
affection
&
voluptuous
lust
,
then
to
tye
himself
to
that
immaculate
renowned
,
glory
,
vertuous
mariage
:
and
in
estraunging
her self
in
the
mater
,
the
kinges
earnest
desire
woulde
both
increase
towards
her
,
and
also
would
the
readyer
indue
her
in
the
estate
of
the
kingdome
:
which
if
she
would
laciuiously
answere
the
kings
wanton
letters
,
the
king
would
vse
●er
as
a
harlot
,
to
serue
his
present
affection
,
and
also
suspect
her
light
behauiour
to
be
the
lewder
.
But
the
king
perceauing
her
contemptuous
straunge
Loue
,
or
rather
whorish
polycie
,
neyther
in
sending
vnto
him
,
neyther
answering
his
letters
,
or
yet
in
comforting
his
amorous
agonies
,
with
her
presence
,
beganne
not
onely
to
hate
her
,
but
also
vtterly
to
renounce
her
:
which
partly
might
proceede
of
his
kingly
stomacke
,
partly
of
his
voluptuous
lust
had
with
diuers
other
infamous
harlots
squenched
in
the
stinking
lake
of
concupiscence
:
so
it
came
to
passe
that
Sebona
&
her
friends
were
very
sory
,
for
that
theyr
polycie
,
was
pretudiciall
,
both
to
the
king
&
them selues
:
to
the
king
in
not
hauing
his
purpose
,
and
to
them selues
,
both
for
that
they
had
lost
the
kinges
fauour
,
&
the
commodity
that
might
haue
rysen
thereby
:
they
thought
they
woulde
not
omyt
so
happy
opportunity
being
ofred
,
for
a
lowring
countenaunce
.
This
Sebona
who
had
bene
the
Ascalons
whore
of
the
holy
Alsephon
,
practised
with
the
aforesayde
Ascalon
,
what
was
to
be
done
.
The
Ascalon
respecting
the
famylyaritye
that
had
passed
betwéene
them
,
the
Ascalon
could
not
deny
Sebonaes
request
,
considering
also
that
if
shée
were
preferred
,
his
renowne
woulde
bee
also
increased
:
practised
with
an
olde
woman
that
was
a
witche
,
and
also
in
tyme
past
Sebonaes
bawde
:
for
which
cause
wyllinger
to
further
the
matter
,
and
with
the
best
indeuor
that
consisted
in
her
,
to
doo
good
vnto
Sebona
:
By
sorcery
(
this
olde
ryuen
witch
)
did
vnderstand
,
both
where
the
gouernment
of
the
kingdome
,
and
the
preseruation
of
the
king
dyd
consist
:
which
was
in
the
gréene
Garland
that
hanged
vp
in
the
holy
Alsephon
:
which
so
long
as
the
Garland
hangd
there
,
no
euyl
fate
,
or
infortunate
condicion
of
life
could
approch
the
kings
person
:
but
so
soone
as
the
garland
was
deflowred
,
the
kings
renowne
,
riches
,
honor
,
glory
,
pompe
,
fame
,
were
fully
&
wholy
in
the
power
of
them
that
had
gotten
the
same
the
Ascalon
neyther
respecting
the
holines
of
the
function
,
the
office
of
the
place
,
neyther
the
sanctimonyall
reuerence
due
to
the
place
:
nor
the
feare
of
the
holy
Image
:
nor
his
duety
to
the
king
:
or
yet
the
commodity
that
might
redown
to
the
common
welth
:
practifed
with
this
filthy
whore
Sebona
to
rauish
this
holy
Alsephon
with
sacriledge
,
and
to
steale
this
florishing
gréene
Garlande
of
Thistles
.
And
as
soone
as
they
had
burned
the
sayd
Garland
of
thistles
,
the
king
perceyued
a
force
to
goe
from
him
:
in
the
audacity
of
his
countenance
:
of
which
before
he
was
bolde
,
became
nowe
shamefast
:
in
his
strength
:
of
which
before
he
was
mighty
,
was
now
weake
:
in
his
stomacke
:
of
which
before
he
was
coragious
,
was
nowe
full
of
cowardnes
:
in
his
wisdom
:
of
which
before
he
was
prudent
,
was
now
foolish
.
Thus
the
king
in
the
eyes
of
al
men
,
was
marue●lously
altred
,
&
his
complexion
changed
:
so
that
in
steede
of
a
king
,
you
would
haue
adiudged
him
a
prisoner
:
in
steede
of
a
rular
,
you
would
haue
adiudged
him
a
wretche
:
in
stéede
of
a
knight
of
armes
,
you
would
haue
adiudged
him
a
ca●●●fe
of
calamity
.
The
king
being
thus
bestract
of
all
the
partes
of
his
body
:
his
friends
,
&
seruauntes
that
were
about
him
,
marueyled
at
his
sodaine
alteration
:
som
attributed
the
cause
thereof
,
vnto
som
priu●e
disease
in
his
inward
parts
:
some
sayde
it
was
inward
thought
:
some
said
it
was
the
force
&
cruelty
of
loue
,
which
vehemently
perplexed
him
,
for
the
beutiful
Sebona
:
Thus
as
euery
mans
iudgement
was
ready
,
so
euery
man
had
an
inwarde
lyking
or
dysliking
of
the
king
:
some
spake
as
he
would
haue
it
:
some
spake
for
that
the
kings
saufegard
was
their
commodity
:
and
som
spake
indifferently
:
Thus
euery
mans
affection
being
bewrayed
,
in
the
mydst
of
al
which
conflicts
,
Sebona
&
her
friends
understanding
the
kings
great
affliction
&
heaped
miseries
which
more
and
more
without
consolation
increased
,
was
persuaded
to
write
vnto
the
king
:
whose
letters
by
the
aduise
of
the
Ascalon
were
in
this
sort
.

AFter
the

to
Sebona

As
I
am
to
craue

at

so
I
am
to
renew
my
earnest
suite
of
vnsquencheable
loue
towards
thee
:
which
as
I
must
néedes
confesse
,
since
my
letters
written
vnto
thée

but
within
these
fewe
AFter
the
end
of
these
&
such
lyke
speaches
betweene
the
king
&
Sebona
,
they
concluded
vpon
mariage
:
the
day
was
appointed
:
the
solempnity
prouided
for
:
the
actiue
feates
of
armes
readily
set
foorth
:
stages
&
theatres
addressed
:
commedies
,
tragedies
,
sonnets
,
sweete
musicke
were
vpon
the
marriage
day
,
before
the
kinges
person
,
to
delyght
withall
,
set
forth
:
Now
when
the
mariage
daye
was
come
:
the
king
&
Sebona
the
Queene
,
with
gloryous
pompe
,
ryding
towards
the
holy
Alsephon
to
bee
maryed
by
the
Asealon
,
before
the
Image
:
which
hauing
entred
the
Alsephon
,
perceauing
the
want
of
the
Garlande
,
inquired
of
the
Asealon
,
where
the
crowne
Garland
was
?
The
Ascalon
answered
,
it
was
conueyed
by
some
euyl
disposed
person
.
The
kinges
corage
was
sore
abated
,
his
hart
waxed
frosen
,
his
minde
altered
,
his
colour
came
and
went
:
there
was
such
transformation
in
him
,
that
you
woulde
haue
thought
present
death
had
besieged
him
:
but
notwithstanding
,
for
that
theyr
comming
was
to
be
maryed
,
the
solempnization
thereof
was
finished
in
this
sort
:
Holy
Image
saue
the
King
&
Queene
:
such
was
the
Raellyans
order
.
And
also
for
olde
acquaintaunce
that
was
betwene
the
Queene
and
the
Ascalon
:
the
sayd
Ascalon
would
pronounce
an
Oration
in
the
praise
of
the
Queene
,
which
was
after
this
manner
.
¶
The
Ascalons
Oration
in
the
praise
of
the
Queene
.
THe
nobility
and
soueraigne
renowne
of
the
king
,
with
al
the
condicion
of
his
worthy
vertues
,
is
neyther
vnknowne
to
mee
,
nor
the
people
:
for
that
we
haue
had
great
and
long
tryall
of
the
same
:
since
that
it
is
a
needeles
thing
to
trouble
you
,
with
that
you
vnderstande
alreadie
.
So
at
this
present
tyme
it
doeth
not
,
but
in
the
way
of
remembrance
,
belongeth
to
my
office
to
speake
of
the
same
:
I
being
appointed
the
holy
Ascalon
of
this
blessed
Alsephon
,
wyl
put
you
in
duety
of
the
solempnization
of
this
mariage
,
whiche
is
betweene
a
King
and
Queene
,
the
lyke
was
neuer
seen
in
this
land
before
:
for
that
obedience
bynding
vs
,
both
to
render
thanks
,
and
with
great
ioye
of
hartes
to
triumph
:
are
also
muche
bounde
to
set
forth
this
present
daie
,
with
the
greatest
renown
that
maie
be
either
thought
or
done
:
for
that
Hellidorus
our
king
hath
maried
so
vertucus
a
Queen
,
a
virgin
of
vnspeakeable
chastitie
,
the
flower
garland
of
this
land
of
the
Raellyans
,
am
not
to
desist
to
praise
her
,
both
for
that
our
king
hath
recouered
his
health
thorow
her
:
our
lande
is
guerdoned
thorow
her
:
our
people
renowned
thorow
her
:
other
nations
put
in
feare
thorow
her
:
O
Sebona
most
soueraigne
Queene
:
thy
bewty
was
the
Phisition
of
our
King
:
thy
bewty
is
the
bulwarke
of
this
lande
:
thy
wisdome
is
both
the
subiection
,
and
direction
of
the
people
:
Shall
not
this
lande
of
the
Raellians
thorow
this
worthy
Queen
,
obtaine
double
royaltie
?
is
not
this
Sebona
Queene
of
the
Raellyans
,
the
flagrantes
flower
that
euer
sweetelie
and
delicatlye
sprong
vp
among
the
Raellians
?
as
she
hath
vowed
her
chastitie
to
one
man
,
so
she
shyneth
in
the
eyes
of
all
men
:
As
she
is
to
be
beloued
of
all
men
:
so
she
loueth
but
one
man
:
and
yet
hateth
no
man
:
O
precious
iewell
,
the
rarenesse
hereof
astonieth
the
hartes
of
all
men
,
and
yet
comforteth
the
harte
of
one
man
:
renowne
is
her
victorie
:
bewtie
,
is
her
praise
:
estimation
,
the
duetie
of
her
florishing
fame
:
can
any
tonge
set
forth
her
deserued
praise
?
beutie
?
renown
?
comlynes
?
al
the
qualities
which
decorate
her
with
inestimable
soueraigntie
?
So
my
hart
is
not
able
to
thinke
any
vertue
comparable
to
the
same
.
As
touching
this
Garlande

hanged
vp
in
this
Alsephon

O

let

not
amaze
thee
:
for
this
holy
Image
which
deliuered
the
beutifull
The
ende
of
the
Ascalons
Oration
.
AFter
the
ende
of
the
Ascalons
Oration
,
the
King
and
Queene
repayring
vnto
theyr
Court
and
princely
Pallace
,
where
the
swéete
banquets
of
al
pleasant
dishes
were
ordayned
,
the
daye
passed
out
with
feasting
,
daunsing
,
iustling
,
and
all
actiue
feats
of
armes
,
mete
for
such
a
day
&
place
:
although
in
the
middest
of
al
these
delyghts
,
the
king
was
in
another
world
:
both
for
that
dyuers
deadly
signes
gaue
out
the
vnhappy
lucke
of
some
aduerse
mischiefe
that
banged
in
the
clowdes
of
a
fatall
Prognostication
:
aswel
for
that
the
kings
Elephants
,
Mules
,
Camels
,
roared
and
cryed
all
that
day
long
,
on
which
they
were
maryed
:
the
stones
in
the
stréetes
slewe
vp
in
the
presence
of
the
king
:
the
rauens
and
other
byrds
of
the
ayre
,
flew
round
about
the
king
:
besides
all
this
,
the
kings
minde
was
plunged
within
the
infernall
lake
of
terrible
perturbation
:
when
night
was
come
,
that
king
with
a
faint
harte
&
wan
countenance
,
washed
in
the
basen
and
lauer
of
vnlustie
lyfe
:
all
his
former
ioye
,
corage
,
stoutnesse
,
vaine
loue
:
was
turned
to
anguish
of
hart
,
paines
,
sighes
,
and
bitter
teares
:
rested
with
his
Quéene
that
night
,
in
the
bed
of
vnrestfulnesse
,
&
ioyned
together
in
the
copulation
of
carefulnesse
:
&
kyssed
each
other
with
the
lyps
of
trayterous
desolation
:
when
it
began
to
waxe
towards
day
,
the
vnhappy
pleasures
of
the
night
being
spent
:
the
king
being
weryed
with
the
doleful
delyghtes
,
slept
the
woefull
sléepe
of
destruction
:
And
dreamed
that
he
sawe
in
a
fayre
Medow
,
¶
Howe
Hellidorus
was
hearde
to
speake
after
he
was
an
Asse
,
and
there
was
deuowred
of
houndes
:
the
Assyrians
for
the
loue
that
they
did
beare
vnto
him
,
did
burie
his
carkase
in
the
fourme
of
an
Asse
:
and
builded
in
the
middest
of
the
wyldernesse
,
a
verie
honorable
Tombe
ouer
the
same
.
THe
King
of
the
Assyrians
hauing
conquered
the
Lande
of
the
Raellyans
,
dryue
out
and
dyspersed
the
people
,
the
Lande
was
fully
impeopled
with
the
Assyrians
.
The
king
of
the
Assyrians
,
after
his
being
setled
in
the
kingdome
:
on
a
tyme
for
pleasaunt
recreation
,
dyd
ryde
forth
a
hunting
into
the
wyldernesse
:
bychaunce
in
the
sayde
wyldernesse
,
in
a
great
brake
of
bushes
,
his
houndes
found
an
Asse
,
which
they
coursed
and
bayted
so
sore
,
before
any
succour
coulde
drawe
neare
:
that
the
sayd
houndes
had
drawne
the
guts
out
of
the
Asses
bellye
:
the
braying
of
the
Asse
,
&
the
noyse
of
the
hounds
,
heing
hearde
of
the
King
and
his
nobles
,
drewe

:
perceauing
it
was
an
Asse
,
tooke
vp
the
houndes
:
and
the
Asse
being
halfe
dead
,
spake
vnto
the
king
of
the
Assyrians
in
this
sort
.
¶
The
wordes
of
King
Hellidorus
,
when
he
was
an
Asse
.
O
King
of
the
Assyrians
,
I
am
Hellydorus
that
was
once
King
of
the
Raellyans
:
heare
mée
:
which
although
I
am
in
the
forme
of
an
Asse
:
yet
haue
I
the
minde
of
a
man
:
O
idolatry
dyd
deuowre
mée
and
my
Lande
:
the
blood
of
a
holye
Prophete
doth
crye
out
against
mée
:
O
my
tyranny
is
turned
to
myserie
:
O
my
heauy
fate
,
I
was
deceaued
by
a
wicked
woman
,
&
subdued
to
wretchednesse
:
the
forgetting
of
the
eternall
gouernance
,
and
the
blind
worshipping
of
an
Image
,
which
was
an
Asse
,
hath
transformed
mee
from
a
man
to
an
Asse
:
O
King
of
the
Assyrians
,
as
thy
houndes
haue
wounded
mée
to
death
:
yet
honorablie
bury
my
dead
carkase
:
which
although
it
be
the
shape
of
an
Asse
,
yet
it
is
the
carkase
of
King
Hellydorus
,
which
hath
a
penitent
hart
.
Presently
dying
,
the
king
of
the
Assirians
did
burye
the
dead
carkase
,
and
builded
a
very
rytche
gorgeous
Tombe
ouer
it
,
in
the
myddest
of
the
wyldernes
,
with
these
Epigrams
written
ouer
the
same
:
and
an
Asse
portrayed
in
Adamant
stone
vppon
the
same
.
The
verses
wrytten
ouer
King
Hellydorus
his
Tombe
.
Ah
cruell
fate
,
O
noble
King
,
Subdued
by
natures
kind
,
Although
in
shape
thou
art
an
Asse
:
Thou
wast
a
man
in
mynde
.
Though
wretched
treason
did
translate
,
By
steightes
of
Venus
lust
,
Such
was
the
hap
and
fruitles
fate
:
In
thee
to
be
discust
.
A
noble
king
durst
Nature
race
,
The
guerdon
of
thy
right
,
To
chaunge
a
king
to
be
an
Asse
:
Which
did
appeare
so
bright
?
This
king
was
beate
with
cruell
roddes
,
Before
his
fatall
day
,
In
glorious
pompe
and
wallowing
wealth
:
There
is
no
hope
or
staye
.
